The county was formed in 1722 during the colonial period, when North Carolina was a British colony, many inhabitants coming from the Norfolk, Virginia, area to experience less interference from the colonial government of Virginia. It is one of the first counties in North Carolina and is an incubator for later generations of both North Carolinians and emigrants from the state. ===History === The county was formed as Bertie Precinct in 1722 from the part of Chowan Precinct of Albemarle County lying west of the Chowan River. It was named for [[Bertie-35|James Bertie]], his brother [[Bertie-39|Henry Bertie]], or perhaps both, each having been one of the Lords Proprietors of Carolina. In 1729 parts of Bertie Precinct, Chowan Precinct, Currituck Precinct, and Pasquotank Precinct of Albemarle County were combined to form Tyrrell Precinct. With the abolition of Albemarle County in 1739, all of its constituent precincts became separate counties. As population of settlers increased, in 1741 parts of Bertie County were organized as Edgecombe County and Northampton County. Finally, in 1759 parts of Bertie, Chowan, and Northampton counties were combined to form Hertford County. Bertie's boundaries have remained the same since then.

During their struggle for independence, they developed a separate, multi-generational communal identity, centered around the Chebacco Parish Church and recognized even by outsiders, who might say someone was from Chebacco, rather than from Ipswich. They finally managed to attain their independence from Ipswich in 1819, when the parish was incorporated as the town of [[:Category: Essex, Massachusetts|Essex, Massachusetts]]. This category includes profiles for people who, during the period 1677 to 1819, were identified with Chebacco Parish, as: * Part of the rebellion which formed the Chebacco Parish Church in and after 1677; * Specifically identified as being "from Chebacco;" * Recorded by the Chebacco Parish Church as born, baptized, married, died, or buried; * A resident of the area known as Chebacco Parish. The designation, "Chebacco Parish," therefore refers to the Chebacco Parish Church, which was the initial hub of the community, then to the community which formed around that church and, finally, to the physical area of Ipswich where that community was located. Thus, when part of the congregation of the Chebacco Parish Church later split off to form a separate congregation (the Fourth Church), both would be considered "of Chebacco." Note: Someone who owned property in Chebacco Parish but did not live there or worship there would probably not be considered part of this One Place Study. Someone who regularly did business in the parish but did not otherwise interact with the community would need to be considered individually, and included or excluded based on other factors. ===Population=== ===Notables=== * [[Ward-3008|Rev.

[[Category:Claiborne Parish, Louisiana]] This is the page for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claiborne_Parish,_Louisiana Claiborne Parish, Louisiana]. The goal of this project is to create well-sourced profiles for every resident of Claiborne Parish, from its inception to the present day, and connect those profiles to the Global Family Tree. The first white settler arrived in the region in 1818, and the parish was formed in 1828. Based on the census, its peak population was 32,285 in 1930. In the 2010 Census, the parish had a population of 17,195. == Volunteers == Contact '''[[Murtaugh-30|Sarah Heiney]]''' if you would like to volunteer to help with this project. == Tasks == The bulk of the work for this project consists of three main tasks: '''creating profiles,''' '''profile improvement,''' and '''profile connection.''' We need to '''create profiles''' of people who lived in Claiborne Parish. Multiple sources should be consulted before any profile is created. We can '''improve''' those profiles by adding categories and writing biographies. Some pre-existing Claiborne Parish profiles have "gedcom junk" or duplicated sections from messy merges, and these could use a cleanup. Ultimately, we want every profile to '''connect''' to the Global Family Tree. Sometimes this is a quick process, but sometimes it requires deeper research that could lead outside of Claiborne Parish. Currently, we are working through the 1850-1870 Censuses, and there are thousands of profiles to create, connect, and improve. If you want to help with this effort--even if you can only contribute a small amount--contact [[Murtaugh-30|Sarah]]. If you are interested in researching a specific topic, such as Early Settlers or Military Veterans who lived in Claiborne, we would be happy to work with you--let us know! == Census Records == [[Space:1850_Census_of_Claiborne_Parish%2C_Louisiana|1850 Census of Claiborne Parish, Louisiana]] [[Space:1860_Census_of_Claiborne_Parish%2C_Louisiana|1860 Census of Claiborne Parish, Louisiana]] [[Space:1870_Census_of_Claiborne_Parish%2C_Louisiana|1870 Census of Claiborne Parish, Louisiana]] == Other Records == [[Space:Homer%2C_LA_Field_Office|Homer, Louisiana Freedmen's Bureau Records]] == Resources == * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claiborne_Parish,_Louisiana Claiborne Parish, Louisiana on Wikipedia] * [https://archive.org/details/historyofclaibor00harr ''The History of Claiborne Parish, Louisiana''] published in 1886 * Family Search, [https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Claiborne_Parish,_Louisiana_Genealogy Guide to Claiborne Parish ancestry, family history, and genealogy] - an index to records online and in print, including birth, marriage, death, census, family history, and military records

He was a master-mariner, and in former years a man of enterprise. ..." page 183 History of Deer Isle_Hosmer Varney's '''''Gazetteer of the state of Maine''''' has the following:
      '''Deer Isle''' in Hancock County, is a group of three islands lying between the northern part of Isle au Haute Bay and Brooklin and Sedgewick on the mainland. It is 35 miles south-south-west of Ellsworth. The town includes Little Deer Isle, Great Deer Isle, and Eagle Isle. The first mentioned and most northerly of the group has an area 6f 1,000 acres, which is well suited to agriculture. Great Deer Isle is about 10 miles in length, from north to south, and near 5 miles in width. The surface in the northern part is rather level, while in the south it is rough. Micaceous limestone was undoubtedly the parent rock of Deer Isle, but it has been crystalized, and is thus rendered unfit for quicklime, though suitable for architectural sculpture. At the "Reach "is a quarry which is operated for this marble, affording a yearly product of 4,000 tons of rough and cut stone ; while roofing slate of a good quality has been found on Little Deer Isle. At this place, it is stated, are found conclusive evidences of an extinct volcano, which in some of the by-gone years, belched forth its showers of ashes, and poured out its molten lava. As will be apparent, the transition series of rocks is well characterized in these islands. Large deposits of silver, also, have recently been found, and two companies now hold property on the island for the purpose of mining this mineral. The soil is loamy, and the largest crop is potatoes. The forest trees are principally spruce and fir. Along the roadsides in the most thickly settled parts of the town, are many shade trees from five to forty years old, of various kinds, but mostly chestnut. Adam's Hill, is the principal eminence, reaching a height of 256 feet above the sea. Torry's and Marshall's are the only considerable ponds, one being a mile long, the other two miles. Smith's mineral spring has a local celebrity. The manufactures consist of sails, wrought granite; while at Oceanville and at Green's Landing, are establishments for the packing of the various kinds of fish. Deer Isle was incorporated in 1789, being the fourth town in the county. The first known visit of Europeans was that of Weymouth in 1605. It early received its name from the abundance of deer in its forests. The first settlement was commenced by William Eaton near what is now known as the " Scott Farm," in 1762. The first church was built in 1773, and the first preacher was Rev. Mr. Noble; the first pastor was Rev. Peter Powers. In 1809. Rev. Joseph Brown, a dissenter, 'was installed. The first white child was Timothy Billings, born May, 1764. The privations of the settlers during the war of the Revolution were terrible. The number of Deer Islanders in the service of the Union during the war of the Rebellion was, soldiers and sailors, 386, and of these 55 were lost. The amount of bounty paid by the town was $59,128. The climate is quite salubrious, as is apparent from the number of old people, there being 10 between eighty and one hundred years of age. As a summer resort, it is highly esteemed by its visitors, having good hotels, ample boating and fishing facilities, as well as drives. The roads are good, and the buildings are generally in good repair, and a look of thrift prevails. There is a nice town-hall, three stories in height. There are in town two Congregational church-edifices, two Methodist and two Baptist. Deer Isle has three high-schools, and its public schoolhouses number twenty. The school property is valued at $8,810. The valuation of estates in 1870 was $417,211. In 1880 it was 1373,182. The rate of taxation in 1880 was two per cent. The population in 1790 was 682; in 1870, 3,414; in 1880, 3,267. ==Additional Resources== ::'''Web Sites''': * Historical Society * Maine Genealogy Net * Family Search * WikiPedia {{Wikidata|Q142486|enwiki}} * Maine Encyclopedia *[https://maineanencyclopedia.com/deer-isle/ '''Haulover: "At Northwest Harbor''', the Island of Deer Isle is almost split in two.

These are rural townships that all begin with the passage of the 1881 Township Organization Law. The first land owners arrived before that date. We will attempt to trace their arrival and expand that to all whom we discover who came to the area and trace to current time. This project is in conjunction with the newly formed [named soon] Historical Society (March 2015). ==Township Organization== The General Assembly enacted a law and signed by the Governor 10 Feb 1849 providing for township organization, but left it optional for counties to adopt. Sangamon County did not take any action. Again 17 Feb 1851 another law was approved providing for township organization via an election. On the first Tuesday in November (6 Nov 1860) an election on township organization in Sangamon County and it won by 859 votes out of a total of 7,241. A commission was formed of John S Bradford, John Gardner, Sr and Joseph Campbell that was tasked with dividing Sangamon County into towns or townships. On 1 Mar 1861 their report was submitted and the townships of Buffalo Heart (sic), Cooper, Illiopolis, Mechanicsburg among others were named. Power, John Carroll, Sarah A.

The first meeting of the Board of Supervisors was held 29 Apr 1861.

[Springfield, Ill.]: [Reprinted by Phillips Bros.]. ==War== ===The Winnebago War=== Early settlers may have heeded the call of then Gov. Edwards called of 4 Companies to be formed of Infantry and 1 of Cavalry to be created from Sangamon County. The leaders of the companies were Captains Thomas Constant, Reuben Brown, Archilles Morris, and Bolin Green all under Col. tom M Neal and James D Henry as adjutant (later a sheriff of Sangamon county). They left Sangamon County for Peoria and then to Galena but before they arrived in Indian Country the war ended.Power, John Carroll, Sarah A. (Harris) Power, and Grace D. Bales. 1970. History of the early settlers, Sangamon County, Illinois. "Centennial record.". [Springfield, Ill.]: [Reprinted by Phillips Bros.]. see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnebago_War] ===The Black Hawk War=== On 27 May 1831, then Governor John Reynolds, called for volunteers to dispel the Black Hawk Indians. The Black Hawk Indians took to destroying grain, tearing down fences and other annoyances to the settlers. Governor Reynolds call for assembly of 700 volunteers to assemble in Beardstown on 10 June 1831. More than twice the number showed up. The 1600 men who appeared were organized into 2 regiments, 1 for Spying and 1 battalion. James D Henry took command of the Spy regiment. James Campbell, Adam Smith and Jonathan R. Saunders each commanded a company. We did not lose anyone in this volunteer army.Power, John Carroll, Sarah A. (Harris) Power, and Grace D. Bales. 1970.

Of course not all the Indian leaders were pleased and once again 22 Apr 1832 volunteers heeded the call and went to Beardstown. 1800 men came, among them were tree regularly organized companies from Sangamon County led by Thomas Moffitt, Jesse Claywell, of which Rezin H. Constant became Captain, and the 4th by our future President Abraham Lincoln. see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hawk_War] ==Weather Related Monumental Occurrences== ===Deep Snow=== The early settlers had to face the worst winter on record between Christmas 1830 and January 1831. Three feet of snow fell in the area, then came rain that froze as it fell creating a thick crust. The wind was relentless from the NW and for more that 2 weeks the temperature did not raise higher than 12 degrees below zero. The stories told from this time are one of extreme hardship. Any attempt to clear a road with Oxen was defeated by drifting. Corn was left in the field (yes, this late in the year), and little was harvested for winter grain for livestock. Many died. The snow was terribly harmful to the local wildlife. Deer and turkey were almost eliminated and have not rebounded to this day. ===The Sudden Change=== No thermometers were around on 20 Dec 1836 when with several inches of snow present rain began falling and turned the snow to mush. It was reported that the day went from tolerable to freezing in minutes. Mr. Washington Crowder said he saw a very dark cloud, a little north of west and it was approaching rapidly, accompanied by a terrific, deep, bellowing sound. The water and slush became frozen within 15 minutes he reported. It was reported that in all parts of the area chickens, geese, hogs and cows, were frozen in the slush where they stood. == Sources ==

== Location == This is a One Place Study relating to '''Fish Hoek Valley''', Western Province, South Africa. Fish Hoek Valley is situated in the Cape Peninsula, about 30 kilometres south of Cape Town, in South Africa. It takes its name from the town of Fish Hoek which lies at one end of the valley. On the north side of the valley are mountains including Chapman's Peak, Spitskop, Silvermine Mountain and Ridge Peak. To the east is Fish Hoek Bay and False Bay. To the south are mountains including Elsie's Peak, Rooikrans and Slangkop, and Chapman's Bay and the Atlantic Ocean are to the west. The valley is 13 kilometres long from west to east and between 3 and 6 kilometres wide from north to south. [https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3029966#map=14/-34.1257/18.4133 Map of Fish Hoek Valley] In the 19th century Fish Hoek Valley was largely rural but today it is mainly covered by suburbs and townships including Kommetjie, Ocean View, Noordhoek, Masiphumelele, Capri, Sunnydale, Sun Valley, Fish Hoek and Clovelly. Part of Table Mountain National Park extends into the valley and there are still some areas containing endangered fynbos vegetation types endemic to the Cape Peninsula and found nowhere else in the world. {{Image|file=Fish_Hoek_Valley_One_Place_Study-4.jpg |caption=Panorama of Fish Hoek Valley - 1890ish and 2014 |size=800px }} == Aim of the Study == This One Place Study is managed by the Fish Hoek Valley Museum and aims to share some of the exhibits, memorabilia and information gathered by the Museum with the wider Fish Hoek Valley diaspora and beyond.

Below are some highlights and we will gradually be adding in depth information. == Highlights == =='''''History'''''== ===='''''Pre-history'''''==== Probably Fish Hoek Valley's greatest claim to fame is ''''Fish Hoek Man''''. He was discovered by 2 amateur archaeologists, [[Peers-575|Victor Peers]] and his son [[Peers-576|Bertie Peers]] in 1927. Under a shell midden about one and a half metres deep and several thousand years old, they found the remains of 9 people, including a male aged about 30 years old, together with ostrich eggshell beads, shell pendants, remains of small skin bags possibly containing medicine, pieces of mother of pearl, stone tools and a piece of rusted European iron thought to have been a spear head. The find generated international interest and one of the skulls was sent to London to be examined by a leading anthropologist Sir Arthur Keith who regarded it as the largest brained type of humanity so far discovered. The skull of what became known as Fish Hoek Man was then dated at 15,000 years old but has since been redated at 12,000 years old. In 1941 a ceremony was held at Schildergat Cave and it was renamed Peers Cave in honour of the work of both [[Peers-575|Victor]] and [[Peers-576|Bertie]].https://gosouth.co.za/peers-cave-and-the-fish-hoek-man/ Many millennia ago the Fish Hoek Valley was a sea channel separating 2 islands off the African mainland. The sea receded about 20,000 years ago and the islands became a peninsula connected to the mainland - the Cape Peninsula. By 10,000 BCE pre-Bushmen people were living in caves in the slopes of the valley. It is the skeletons of these people who were found in Peers Cave. By the first century AD, the '''Khoisan''', a generic name for the indigenous peoples of Southern Africa who speak click languages and are pre-Bantu, were living on the slopes of Slangkop. A midden containing limpet, mussel and abalone shells, along with various stone implements, was found there in 1972. ===='''''Seventeenth Century'''''==== In 1652 the Dutch East India Company (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie VOC) established a settlement at Table Bay, 28 kilometres north of Fish Hoek Valley. In 1659 it is recorded that troops from the company went south in search of Khoisan who had attacked the settlement. In the early 1680s some Dutch settlers explored the mountains on the northern side of the valley looking for silver deposits. The mountain and the river later became known as ''''Zilvermyn'''' or ''''Silvermine'''' and they now form the core of the Silvermine Nature Reserve, part of Table Mountain National Park. In 1687 [[Van_der_Stel-28|Simon van der Stel]], the first Governor of the Dutch Cape Colony, explored the area and reported that there was an abundance of wild birds and game and 3 years later he granted '''whaling and fishing rights''' at Visch Hoek on the eastern end of the valley.Jose Burman The False Bay Story 1977 A community of whalers and fishermen developed there and a building was erected. [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Fishing_and_Whaling_in_Fish_Hoek [Learn More]] ===='''''Eighteenth Century'''''==== In 1743 the Dutch East India Company established Simon's Bay 3 kilometres south of Visch Hoek Bay as a winter anchorage, safer from the constant barrage of winter storms at Table Bay. However it was a far from ideal location with the return trek to Cape Town on foot to source necessary fresh supplies taking 4 days. This led to the cultivation of lands in the Fish Hoek and Noordhoek valleys and the permanent settlement of Fish Hoek Valley began. [[Imhoff-127|Baron Gustaaf Willem van Imhoff]], Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies, awarded land grants for 3 farms at the western end of the valley to supply fresh produce to Simon's Bay. They were: : - '''Slangkop''' (Snake's Peak) : - '''de Goede Hoop''' (Good Hope) : - '''Poespas Kraal''' (Hotch-potch kraal) In 1797, when the colony was under British military occupation, a fourth farm was established, at '''Visch Hoek''', but the lease ended when the lessee died in 1808.[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Fish_Hoek/Visch_Hoek [Learn More]] ===='''''Nineteenth Century'''''==== When the Cape became a British colony in 1814, the Royal Navy set up a permanent base in Simon's Town, and the Governor [[Craddock-951|Sir John Cradock]] designated the southern part of the Peninsula as the Simon's Town magisterial district. The road linking Visch Hoek to Simon's Town was rebuilt in 1815. Shortly after, two additional farms were established at the valley's eastern end. In 1815, Governor [[Somerset-129|Lord Charles Somerset]] granted a 112-hectare farm on the slopes of Zilvermyn mountain, aptly named '''Zilvermyn'''. In 1818, Somerset bestowed the 1528-hectare '''Visch Hoek''' property as a farm, with the stipulation that the owner refrain from selling alcohol.[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Fish_Hoek/Visch_Hoek [Learn More]] Subsequently, when Visch Hoek was divided in 1827, the 454-hectare segment north of the Zilvermyn river was named '''Klein Tuin''' ('small garden') and became a separate farm. Later, a farm named '''Brakkloof''' (or Brakke Kloof) was granted between Visch Hoek and Poespaskraal. Over time, farm names underwent changes. Slangkop was also known as ''''Imhoff's Gift'''', De Goede Hoop as ''''Noordhoek'''', and Poespaskraal as ''''Sunnydale''''. In 1855, a Divisional Council was established to oversee the Cape Division, encompassing rural areas around Cape Town. It managed the valley for 131 years, excluding the period from 1879 to 1888 when the Simon's Town magisterial district functioned as a Division with its own Council. Another farm emerged in the late 1850s when Slangkop/Imhoff's Gift was divided, and its southeastern part became '''Ocean View'''. By the late 19th century, the south peninsula had become firmly established. The '''railway line''' extended from Kalk Bay on the coast, through Visch Hoek to Simon's Town in 1890. When Kalk Bay attained municipality status in 1895, the farm Klein Tuin was encompassed within its boundaries. ===='''''Twentieth Century'''''==== Similar to the rest of the colony, the Simon's Town district was under martial law between 1901 and 1902 due to the Anglo-Boer War, marking the British invasion of the Boer territories to the North - the Transvaal and Free State. During this period, the first townships emerged in the valley. In 1900, Kommetje Estates Ltd acquired the Slangkop farm, establishing a seaside village known as '''Kommetje'''. Simultaneously, at the opposite end of the valley, G.W. MacIntyre purchased Klein Tuin in 1902, renaming it 'Mayville' and founding a small seaside suburb later renamed ''''Clovelly''''. Although Parliament sanctioned a railway line from Visch Hoek to Kommetje, its construction never materialized. Instead, a decade later in 1913, the divisional council constructed Kommetje Road (now route M65), connecting Visch Hoek to Kommetje on the valley's southern side. In 1913, the Kalk Bay municipality, incorporating Mayville (Clovelly), merged into the City of Cape Town, while the remainder of the valley continued under the Divisional Council's jurisdiction. During World War I, martial law in the Simon's Town district safeguarded the naval base, leading to travel disruptions in the valley due to military roadblocks. Additionally, in 1916, the German navy cruiser Möwe was sighted in Chapman's Bay, off Slangkop. After the war '''Visch Hoek''' (or ''''Fish Hoek'''') became a township in 1918, growing rapidly with local board being established in 1921 and village management in 1927. The prohibition on liquor sales persisted, making it the country's only 'dry' town.[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Fish_Hoek/Visch_Hoek [Learn More]] Part of '''Noordhoek''' was designated for residential development in 1920. Improved access to the valley's western end came with the opening of '''Chapman's Peak Drive''' (now part of route M6) in 1922, forming part of a scenic motor route around the Peninsula. In 1922, Cape Estates Ltd acquired the undeveloped portion of Mayville, establishing the '''Clovelly Country Club'''. Fish Hoek gained municipal status in 1940. World War II saw German submarine activity in Cape waters. A military radar station on Slangkop monitored the ocean, and a camp named 'Cobra' housed personnel. German anti-ship mines washed up at Kommetjie, requiring naval attention. Post-war, residential development emerged on most of Sunnydale farm. During the 1960s and 1970s, the divisional council undertook significant valley development, establishing '''Sun Valley''', a White residential township, on Brakkloof farm in the 1960s. They also created a Coloured township on '''Ocean View''' farm, accommodating communities relocated from Fish Hoek, Sunnydale, and Simon's Town under apartheid policies. In 1968, the council opened ''''Ou Kaapse Weg'''' ('Old Cape Road') (now route M64) from Sunnydale over Silvermine mountain to Tokai. The 1970s witnessed the council opening Soetwater caravan park for Coloured holidaymakers and Imhoff caravan park for Whites near Kommetjie. Additionally, the Wildevoëlvlei sewage works opened in 1977. '''Capri Village''' emerged as a residential township in a section of Sunnydale. The divisional council merged into the Western Cape Regional Services Council in 1986. In the same year, under apartheid laws, Black residents of Dassenberg were forcefully evicted and resettled at Khayalitsha. They returned to the valley in 1989, establishing a new settlement on part of Sunnydale, later named '''Masiphumelele''' ('we will succeed'). Apartheid ended in 1994. In 1996, the valley joined the new South Peninsula Municipality, leading to the dissolution of Fish Hoek's municipality. Four years later, the South Peninsula Municipality merged into the City of Cape Town, now responsible for valley administration.Wikipedia Fish Hoek Valley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_Hoek_Valley == Sources ==

[[Category:Missouri Projects]] [[Category:Gasconade County, Missouri]] == Contents == === Early History === Gasconade County is situated upon the south side of the Missouri River, seventy miles west of St. Louis. The county is named for the Gasconade River which empties into the Missouri River within its boundaries.
The county was organized from Franklin County by an act of the territorial legislature on 25 November 1820, before Missouri became a state. All the unorganized portion (nearly one fourth) of the state south and west was attached to it. It was frequently referred to as the "State of Gasconade." In 1841 it was divided, and Osage County formed. In 1869, thirty-six square miles were transferred to Crawford County. It originally included most of present Maries County.
On the north is the Missouri River; on the west, [[:Category:Osage_County%2C_Missouri|Osage]] and [[:Category:Maries_County%2C_Missouri|Maries]] Counties; on the south, [[:Category:Phelps_County%2C_Missouri|Phelps]] and [[:Category:Crawford_County%2C_Missouri|Crawford]]; and on the east, [[:Category:Franklin_County%2C_Missouri|Franklin]] County. The county's main economic sources are horticultural and agricultural. The leading products are wheat, cattle and corn. Manufactured products include wine, shoes, and flour. Historically, it produced much quality wine from several wineries and is known to be a good grape growing area. The county has large Kaolin clay deposits and many clay pits.
The people are largely of German heritage. Other ethnic groups include Swiss immigrants who founded the town of Swiss, Polish immigrants who settled north of Owensville, and Bohemians who settled south of Owensville.

= '''Welcome to the Harrison County, Kentucky One Place Study''' = Though colonial explorers were making forays into the area now known as Kentucky in the middle of the 18th century, active settlement did not begin until 1774. Virginia had established Fincastle County in 1772, encompassing the area, but in 1776 Fincastle County was abolished and three new counties were created in its place. Kentucky County, Virginia, was one of them. When Kentucky became a state in 1792, the area now known as Harrison County was within Bourbon County. Harrison was established as a county the following year, though its boundaries changed slightly over the following decades as newer counties were created. The boundaries have not changed since 1867. General historical information including facts, timelines, boundary changes, etc. can be found on our umbrella page, '''[[Space:Harrison_County%2C_Kentucky|Harrison County, Kentucky]]''' under the [[Project:Kentucky|Kentucky Project]]. The page is still a work in progress -- so check back often! Wish something were there that isn't yet? Be sure to let us know by message or comment (or jump on in and add it)! == '''What We're Studying''' == As a relatively large, primarily rural community, The Harrison County, Kentucky One Place Study does not fall within the parameters of a typical one-place study, but the principles are the same. Our work centers on all the county's residents, both permanent and migratory, in order to improve our understanding of their social and economic lives. The study aims to expand opportunities for genealogical research in the area by examining historical documents pertaining to various communities, groups and group activities within the broader county. The focus is currently on (but not limited to) the county's formation in 1793 through much of the following century. The primary goal of the study is to create and improve WikiTree profiles for county residents in the early 19th century. Some of the long-term objectives of the study include: * Increase research and profiling of women in the community * Increase research and profiling of US Black Heritage people in the community under [[Project:US_Black_Heritage|USBH Project]] practices * Collate information on the professional, economic and social lives of the residents === On-Going Projects === ''Geography'' * Working toward compiling information and organizing Free Space Pages for Harrison County towns and small communities. In progress: [[Space:Harrison_County%2C_Kentucky%2C_Guide_to_Place_Names|'''Guide to Place Names''']] and [[Space:Harrison_County%2C_Kentucky:_Census_Divisions_and_Demographics|Census Divisions and Demographics]] This project is on the slow-track. ''Military veterans'' * Several projects primarily covering the Revolutionary and Civil Wars are underway: [[Space:Harrison_County%2C_Kentucky_Military_Service|'''Harrison County, Kentucky Military Service''']] ''Family Studies'' * Current general family focus: Maffett, Monson, Smith, and Turley family groups, as well as their allies and collaterals (primarily in the area of Indian Creek) * Current USBH family focus: Redd, Williams, Burr, Porter, Conner, Holmes * Current Native American family focus: Coleman === Developing Projects === Harrison County is not only beautiful, but also endlessly fascinating. As a result, it's not hard to imagine all the research that could advance the project's goals. Some other tasks that would be beneficial to the project include: * Gathering research on women's professions, including midwives, farmers, etc. * Indexing/profiling landowners on Beers' map of Harrison County, 1877 *Creating profiles for influential residents including local politicians, doctors, teachers, merchants, craftsmen, distillers, ministers, etc. and categorizing them appropriately. *Developing Free Space Pages for historical religious, educational and social groups in Harrison County. ** Some possible one-place subprojects: Marysville, Berry, Cynthiana, Baltzell. *Expanding Harrison County cemeteries on WikiTree through the [[Project: Cemeterist|Cemeterist Project]]. ** [[Space:Cemeteries_in_Harrison_County%2C_Kentucky|Cemeteries in Harrison County, Kentucky]] * Local dramas (murders and other juicy scandals), starting out with [[Space:Cynthiana_Ghost_Walk|The Cynthiana Ghost Walk]]. * USBH: ::: [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GB9V-CHQ?owc=8B48-3TL%3A1610382301%2C1610421501%3Fcc%3D3161105&cc=3161105&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AWZPW-CXMM 1860 Slave Schedule] ::: [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6319-MMZ?owc=MJCD-PY8%3A1042937101%2C1042956201%3Fcc%3D1420440&cc=1420440&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMVZS-ZDM 1850 Slave Schedule] * One Name Studies with Harrison County connections (non-exhaustive list, feel free to add): ** [[Space:Carter_Name_Study|Carter Name Study]] ** [[Space:Coleman_Name_Study|Coleman Name Study]] ** [[Space:Day_Name_Study|Day_Name_Study]] ** [[Space:Dowd_Name_Study|Dowd Name Study]] ** [[Space:Durbin_Name_Study|Durbin Name Study]] ** [[Space:Gillespie_Name_Study|Gillespie Name Study]] ** [[Space:Harrison_Name_Study|Harrison Name Study]] ** [[Space:Hill_Name_Study|Hill Name Study]] ** [[Space:Ishmael_Name_Study|Ishmael Name Study]] ** [[Space:Jewett_Name_Study|Jewett Name Study]] ** [[Space:Landrum_Name_Study|Landrum Name Study]] ** [[Space:Mann_Name_Study|Mann Name Study]] ** [[Space:Murphy_Name_Study|Murphy Name Study]] ** [[Space:Porter_Name_Study|Porter Name Study]] ** [[Space:Talbot_Name_Study|Talbot Name Study]] ** [[Space:Turner_Name_Study|Turner Name Study]] ** [[Space:Wolfe_Name_Study|Wolfe Name Study]] * One Place Studies in Harrison County ** [[Space:Ruddle%27s_Station%2C_Kentucky%2C_Virginia_One_Place_Study|Ruddle's Station, Kentucky, Virginia One Place Study]] === WikiTree Pages Linked to the Study === You can find a listing of specific project pages connected with the study here: [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Space:Harrison_County%2C_Kentucky_One_Place_Study|'''WikiTree pages connected to the Place Study''']].

[[Category:Newfoundland Project]] [[Category: Fortune Bay District, Newfoundland Colony]] [[Category: Fortune Bay District, Dominion of Newfoundland]] [[Category: Fortune Bay District, Newfoundland]] === Purpose === In coordination with the larger [[Project:Newfoundland|Newfoundland Project]], this page is meant to document the history and families of the Hermitage Bay region of Newfoundland's south coast. This page is meant to be a collaborative work in progress, where the people of Hermitage Bay and their descendants will not only find some significant piece of history that might be of interest to them, but share their own family histories with others. Will you join me? Please post a comment here on this page, in [https://www.WikiTree.com/g2g G2G] using the project tag, or [https://www.WikiTree.com/index.php?title=Special:PrivateMessage&who=8440604 send me a private message]. Thanks! === About the Project === ==== Geographical Extent and Boundaries ==== Hermitage Bay was historically considered part of the larger Fortune Bay District, which encompassed the communities along two large neighboring bays on Newfoundland’s south coast; Fortune Bay and Hermitage Bay. * '''Fortune Bay''' is a large bay situated on the south coast of Newfoundland. Its mouth is delineated by a 56 km (35 mi) stretch of water bounded by Point Crewe on the Burin Peninsula to the southeast, and Pass Island at the entrance to Hermitage Bay to the northwest."[http://collections.mun.ca/cdm/landingpage/collection/cns_enl Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador,] Vol. 2, p. 340.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_Bay * '''Hermitage Bay''' extends about 40 km (25 mi) inland from the south coast of Newfoundland, west of Fortune Bay. Its mouth is bounded by Pass Island to the south, and its northern entrance by Crooked or Middle Island at the west entrance to Bay D'Espoir.[http://collections.mun.ca/cdm/ref/collection/cns_enl/id/3055 Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador,] Vol. 2, p. 912.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermitage_BayWithers, J.W. [https://archive.org/stream/yearbooknfld191800uoft/yearbooknfld191800uoft_djvu.txt''Year Book and Almanac of Newfoundland (1918),''] p. 139. The historical census boundaries differ slightly from the strict geographical boundaries of the two bays. The boundary with the Burgeo - LaPoile district to the west often extends to either the community of McCallum or the mouth of Facheux Bay. The towns on the southern shore of Fortune Bay between Point Crewe and Frenchman's Cove were generally considered part of the Burin District rather than the Fortune Bay District. This page will initially focus on Hermitage Bay and neighboring Bay D’Espoir to the north. It’s possible the project will eventually expand south to Fortune Bay or west along the coast towards Burgeo, but this will depend on time and on the research interests of members. ==== Methodology ==== The project has begun by creating space pages for the major communities of Hermitage Bay. The full community listing can be found in the table below, and examples of community space pages can be found here: *[[Space:Pushthrough, Newfoundland|Pushthrough]] *[[Space: Hermitage, Newfoundland|Hermitage]] *[[Space:Bay de East, Hermitage Bay, Newfoundland|Bay de East]] *[[Space:Gaultois, Newfoundland|Gaultois]] Linked to the space pages for each community, this project has been creating profiles for the heads of families in the 1921 census of Newfoundland, as well as their wives and other adult family members. From there, we’ve been working backwards to document parents and more distant ancestors. The ultimate goal is to identify and document the original settlers of Hermitage Bay, along with their places of origin. ==== Privacy / Profiles of living people ==== This project has been creating profiles for the heads of families in the 1921 census of Newfoundland, as well as their wives and other adult family members. In most cases this means the project is not creating profiles for individuals born after about 1905, though information on their children may appear in census records and be mentioned on the profiles of their parents. If you want to create or link more recent profiles to the Hermitage Bay project please feel free to do so, but keep in mind that younger people may still be living. My own personal rule of thumb is not to add profiles for younger people unless I’m directly descended from them, but this is up for discussion. If you have any concern about information in this project that relates to your living family members, please contact [[Benjamin-1380|Sean Benjamin]]. ==== Categorization ==== This page will follow the [[Project:Newfoundland#Historical_Place_Categorization|geographical categorizations of the larger Newfoundland Project]]. We may also create additional categories for early settlers or brick walls. ==== Project Members ==== If you would like to be involved in the Hermitage Bay project, please do the following: # If you're already a WikiTree member,add “hermitage_bay” to your list of followed tags. That way you'll see all of our discussions in your G2G Feed. # Add your name to the list below, along with what you are working on, or what you would like to do. # If you're not yet a WikiTree member but would like to contribute to the project, please contact [[Benjamin-1380|Sean Benjamin]]. '''Member List:''' *[[Benjamin-1380|Sean Benjamin]]: Co-ordinating the project, setting up Space pages for communities, categorization, etc. I have particular interest in the community of [[Space:Pushthrough, Newfoundland|Pushthrough]], and the surnames Lilly, Ingram/Engram, and Nurse. ==== To Do List ==== * Help us recruit members for this new project! * Create space pages and geographical categories for the remaining communities in Hermitage Bay. * Create profiles for each Hermitage Bay head of household in the 1921 census. [[Space:1921 Census of Newfoundland - Hermitage Bay|This page]] contains a table/worksheet that can be used to collect info and sources on the 1921 households so that profiles can be created. * Work backwards from 1921 using sources found in the Vital statistics database and other documentary sources. * Identify early settlers in Hermitage Bay communities and create profiles for them. === History of Hermitage Bay and Bay D'Espoir === '''This section is summarized from the [http://collections.mun.ca/cdm/ref/collection/cns_enl/id/3055 Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador], Vol. 2, pp. 912-918.''' ====Hermitage Bay==== A small bay which extends about 40 km (25 mi) inland on the south coast of Newfoundland, west of Fortune Bay, Hermitage Bay is entered between two islands: Pass Island, to the east at the tip of the Hermitage Peninsula separating Connaigre and Hermitage Bays; and Long Island, an island separated from the mainland of the west coast of Hermitage Bay by Little Passage, a channel connecting Hermitage Bay with Bay d'Espoir (See below). The long, finger-shaped bay has a rugged coastline, particularly on its eastern side where steep cliffs rise to heights of 377 m (1236 ft). Because of the lack of known commercial minerals, no mining activity has taken place in Hermitage Bay, and the lack of merchantable timber has also precluded exploitation of the forests beyond private need. It has been the fishing resources of this relatively ice-free bay that has largely determined its exploitation and settlement. ===== History and Settlement ===== Archaeological investigation of Newfoundland's south coast was relatively new in 1980 when investigations conducted at a site located at L'Anse a Flamme, Long Island, uncovered evidence of Maritime Archaic Indian (the first reported occupation of the south coast by these peoples), Paleo-Eskimo, Early and Middle Dorset Eskimo, and Beothuk occupations. Further Dorset sites were discovered in 1980 at Furbey's Cove and Piccaire. These habitations were thought to have existed from the last millenium B.C. to the first millenium A.D. Micmac sites were being investigated in 1981 with the majority of research concentrated in Little Passage and Bay D'Espoir. Captain James Cook, surveying the coast of Newfoundland from 1760 to 1780, was much impressed by the possibilities of Hermitage Cove on the eastern shore of Hermitage Bay. He noted in particular the superb fishing grounds located about the Fox Islands, just off Hermitage Cove. These excellent marine resources of Hermitage Bay noted by Cook had attracted fishermen as early as the seventeenth century with early fishing activities concentrated at Hermitage Cove, which offered the best shore facilities in Hermitage Bay. French fishermen based at Plaisance (Placentia) used the cove as a fishing station in the late 1600s and early 1700s. Hermitage Cove was occupied seasonally by fishing servants and several families, and was the only inhabited site in the bay although other coves such as Gaultois may have been used for temporary shelter. Following the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, the French lost their fishing and settlement rights in Newfoundland except on the French Shore. Hermitage Bay then began to be visited seasonally by Dartmouth- and Jersey- based merchant ships which exploited the year-round cod fishery of the south coast. Hermitage Bay was known to be a rendezvous point for fishermen and sack ships from the Channel Islands in particular. The first record of English settlement in Hermitage Bay dates from 1763 when settlers were noted at two locations. One sack ship and five inhabitants were reported at Hermitage Cove and one inhabitant only was reported at Pass Island. This settlement seems to have been occupied during the summer months only, with boats and shore equipment left during the winter months, but it was the most westerly fishing station on the south coast. The pattern of settlement in Hermitage Bay was determined by the arrival in the late 1700s of a Newfoundland-based British merchant firm. The London-based Robert Newman and Company established a series of year-round fishing outports on the south coast, including Hermitage Cove. Gaultois, located on Long Island on the opposite shore of the bay, was established as a Newman branch in the early 1800s. The presence of the merchants provided a firm base for year-round settlement and determined the disposition of settlers in Hermitage Bay, which was largely unoccupied up to that time. By the 1830s settlement, consisting mainly of West Country (Dorset, Devon, Somerset) English, some Irish, and some "youngsters" of Jersey origin, had expanded southward and westward into Hermitage Bay. The population was predominantly Protestant with small pockets of Roman Catholic settlement at Gaultois, Piccaire, Round Harbour, Barrisway and Furbey's Cove. In 1836 ten settlements were reported in the Census for Hermitage Bay. They were Pass Island (pop. 118), Groule (12), Swill Rocks (17), Blackhead Cove (87), Hermitage Cove (87), Furbey's Cove (66), Head of Hermitage Bay (136), Gaultois (44), Piccaire (26) and Round Harbour (26). Rev. William Marshall was struck by the almost indescribable conditions of life — the abject poverty, the isolation, the absence of any services — in both Fortune and Hermitage Bays during this period when privation, ignorance and destitution prevailed. In 1840 he wrote: "Along the whole western shore [of Hermitage Bay], comprising an extent of many miles, there is a lamentable destitution of religious instruction . . . not even a school of any description except one at Hermitage Cove established by your missionary during the past year. There are harbours where not a single individual can read at all." By the mid-1800s the population of Hermitage Bay was concentrated at Pass Island (pop. 1857, 110), Grole (104), Hermitage Cove (90), Furbey's Cove (69) and Gaultois (154). The population, composed mainly of English-born Protestant residents (with some Irish-born residents at Gaultois), grew slowly. In 1836 it stood at 619 people, a large number of whom were reported to be unmarried fishing servants. In 1857 the population was 682, the majority of whom were year-round residents and their families. By 1874 the population reached 952 and by 1891 it was 1,007. Population growth in Hermitage Bay reflected population concentrations and movements associated with the fishery and the merchant houses which supplied settlers. The movement of the nineteenth-century population in both Fortune and Hermitage Bays reflects a westerly expansion into new fishing territories along the south coast. Most youngsters, fishermen and their families arrived in communities with branches of Newman and Hunt, or of the Jersey-based Nicolle firm, and later moved westward to occupy small fishing coves. This pattern of migration continued well into the late 1800s. Marriage records indicated that Hermitage Bay, especially the merchant-based communities of Pass Island, Hermitage and Gaultois, were among the last regions outside St. John's to experience a late 19th century immigration. By the early 1900s settlement in Hermitage Bay was concentrated almost exclusively at Pass Island, Hermitage, Gaultois, and their small "satellite" settlements, such as Piccaire, Furbey's Cove, Hardy's Cove and Grole. In the twentieth century Hermitage Bay experienced little population growth, and the decline, abandonment and resettlement of many of its communities. In 1911 Hermitage Bay numbered 1,085 people in fourteen communities. By 1935 there were 1,227 people living in eleven communities. In 1945 ten communities remained with a total of 803 people. In the period 1951 to 1981 settlement in Hermitage Bay was concentrated in two communities through various resettlement programmes. In 1951 there were eight communities numbering 1,014 people. By 1971 there were five settlements numbering 947 people and by 1981 there were two incorporated communities only, Gaultois and Hermitage-Sandyville, numbering 1,388 people. From 1971 to 1980 the populations of Pass Island, Grole, Furbey's Cove, Piccaire and Stone Valley (Little Bay) resettled to these larger centres. The main reason for this population shift was the opening of fish-processing centres at Gaultois and Hermitage-Sandyville in 1952 and 1974 respectively, and the construction of a branch road linking Hermitage to the Bay d'Espoir Highway in 1972. General isolation, lack of services, and the difficulty in obtaining the services of teachers in the smaller settlements were also factors in this move. ===== Economy ===== Because of its southerly location, the economy of Hermitage Bay has been based on a year-round fishery, principally the cod fishery. The small-boat, inshore cod fishery was the economic base and mainstay of the nascent communities of Hermitage Bay until the mid-nineteenth century. Whale hunting was reputed to have been carried out in Hermitage Bay at Gaultois by the firm of Peter LeMessurier and Company in the late eighteenth century. These premises, which were purchased by Newman and used for a large-scale whaling enterprise, could still be seen at Gaultois on the Newman Company premises in the late nineteenth century. American whaling was reported in the area from 1796 to 1799. The development of the deep-sea fishery and the operation of American banking vessels in the mid-1800s became important factors in the economy of Hermitage Bay. The herring fishery was also important in the nineteenth century, although the selling of bait to American and French vessels was not practised on as large a scale as it was in Fortune Bay. After 1889 the development of the Bank fishery in Hermitage Bay led to the growth of large centres such as Pass Island, Hermitage Cove and Gaultois. These settlements, originally settled as fishing outports of British and Jersey merchants, developed as supply centres and ports from which salt cod was exported to Europe. The fishery (cod and herring, supplemented by salmon and later lobster) continued to support the population of Hermitage Bay until the Great Depression of the 1930s. By 1907 Newman's had ceased all operations in Hermitage Bay and local entrepreneurs, such as the Harris Export Company at Hermitage Cove and the Garland Company of Gaultois, took over their premises. The Depression and its aftermath led to a depressed fishing economy in Hermitage Bay, as elsewhere in Newfoundland. The population declined as families left the region in the 1940s for war-generated jobs in St. John's and Argentia, and for employment in construction, logging and mining elsewhere in Newfoundland and in Cape Breton. In 1952 a fresh-fish plant was opened in Gaultois, processing fish caught by inshore, and later offshore, fishermen who also took their catches to Harbour Breton in Fortune Bay, for processing. The industry diversified to include the production of turbot, halibut and perch. New markets for fresh salmon and for lobster, sold live to buyers, also opened up. By the mid-1960s longliners had come into use. A second fish plant opened in Hermitage in 1974, processing salt cod; in 1976 this plant was converted to handle fresh-fish processing. In 1979 the fishery in Hermitage Bay was conducted by full-time fishermen working principally from longliners. The inshore fishery employed mostly part-time fishermen. Seasonal jobs in Labrador, construction projects elsewhere in Newfoundland, and the local service industry, the offshore fishery based in Nova Scotia, and fish processing provided the remainder of the jobs for Hermitage Bay residents. This new mixed economy and the construction of a branch highway linking Hermitage-Sandyville with the Bay d'Espoir highway led to the consolidation of people and services at Gaultois and Hermitage-Sandyville. With the closing of these communities' fish plants in the early 1980s, the economy of Hermitage Bay was seriously threatened. Sport-fishing and guiding had given rise to a small tourism industry, but since the commercial exploitation of Hermitage Bay's natural resources in forestry, mining and agriculture was not feasible, its economic future lay entirely in the recovery of the fishing industry. ==== Bay d'Espoir ==== A large bay inside Hermitage Bay, Bay d'Espoir can be entered from two directions. The major entrance is between the West Head of Long Island which is situated at the bay's entrance, and Dawson Point. Bay d'Espoir can also be approached from Hermitage Bay via the Little Passage which separates the eastern side of Long Island from the mainland. Just inside the entrance to Bay d'Espoir, the bay divides itself into two major arms. Northern Arm which itself divides into North Bay and East Bay, and the eastern arm leading east and north for about 36.8 km (23 mi) which also carries the name Bay d'Espoir. The Southeast Arm, on which Morrisville and Conne River are located, is a northeasterly extension of that eastern arm. ===== Settlement and History ===== The majority of the earliest settlers of Bay d'Espoir lived near the entrance to the bay and along the northern arm. It was there that the best fishing grounds were located. While many settlers based near the bay's entrance and migratory fishermen journeyed up the eastern arm for timber during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, few settled there permanently until the mid-1800s. Colonial records estimate the total winter population of Fortune and Hermitage Bays, including Bay d'Espoir, at about 600 in the 1760s and 1770s; this number trebled during the summer fishing season. The exact date that the Micmac settled in the Bay d'Espoir area has not been determined. Estimates have the Micmac settling in "Newfoundland during the early 1600s and ... in Bay d'Espoir by the 1700s." An official census of the area was not taken until 1836. That Census reported four communities in Bay d'Espoir with a total population of sixty-four: Great Jervis (also known as Great Jervois; 7), Conne (alt. Conn and Conne River; 15), Bay North (alt. Bay du Nord and Bay de North; 31) and Bay East (alt. Bay de Est; 11). By 1857 there were ten communities with a combined population of 230; this number doubled to 462, and the number of communities to sixteen, by 1869. During the early 1890s Bay d'Espoir communities included Great Jervois (91), Stanley's Cove (27), Birchy Cove (7), Quilliere (7), Bay de North (42), Bay de Est (38), Goblin (22), Lamble's Passage (41), Ship Cove (178), Head of Bay d'Espoir (70), Conn River (77), Aaron's Cove (15), Little River (10), Diamond Point (5), Bramble's Head (32), Raymond's Point (36), Fox Island (15), Harbour Galle (9), Patrick's Harbour (17), Scouse Cove (10), Green Point (7), Sugar Loaf (7) and Island Cove (3), with a combined population of 766. In 1945 fifteen communities were thriving with a combined population of 1,956. After Confederation in 1949, municipal government was established in some communities in Bay d'Espoir. St. Alban's (formerly Ship Cove) was incorporated in 1953. In 1971 Morrisville became a municipality and the communities of Milltown and Head of Bay d'Espoir were incorporated together as Milltown-Head of Bay d'Espoir. In 1972 Conne River and the community of Burnt Woods joined together to form Conne River. Two years later Conne River was officially recognized as an Indian Community. This classification was in recognition of Conne River as the only Micmac community in Newfoundland and Labrador. ===== Economy ===== Residents who settled in the northern arm, close to the entrance to the bay, depended mainly on the fishery while those in the northeastern arm, at the head of the bay, were dependent upon commercial logging. As in many other isolated areas, those settlers who fished maintained subsistence logging operations, and those who logged, maintained some fishing activity for home consumption. The earliest European residents of Bay d'Espoir were fishermen who moved their families to the well-protected coves near the entrance of the bay. In the Census of 1836, fifteen fishing boats were reported to be catching cod. This involvement with the fishery increased as the nineteenth century progressed, with the residents reporting catches of cod, eels and salmon and the production of cod oil. In 1891 the fishermen continued to catch cod, salmon and herring and reported for the first time an involvement in the lobster fishery. Lobster factories were reported in that year in Great Jervois, Bay de Nord, Bay de Est and Diamond Point. Fishing continued in the twentieth century but as settlements near the entrance of Bay d'Espoir were abandoned in favour of settlements near the head of the bay, the emphasis on the fishery declined. Bay d'Espoir is noted for its rich forests. It is most likely that the first migratory fishermen, who were French and later the English, knew of the timber available at the head of the bay and utilized it for building temporary shelters and repairing their fishing schooners. During the late eighteenth century "English merchant crews and South Coast families . . . [wintered] in the Bay to log, while fishing schooners and coastal settlers came to log during ice-free seasons." The first crews on record to visit Bay d'Espoir expressly to harvest its timber were employed in the early years of the nineteenth century by Newman and Company based at Harbour Breton. As early as 1806 shipbuilding was reported in Bay d'Espoir, and between 1815 and 1817, Newman's built several vessels at Great Jervois, all constructed out of timber obtained in Bay d'Espoir. By 1835 Newman and Company had a winter crew stationed at Southeast Arm, while their competitors, Nicolle and Company based at Jersey Harbour, had a winter crew stationed at Swanger's Cove. By the mid-1800s the number of crews visiting Bay d'Espoir declined. This decline was caused by a decrease in shipbuilding activity by Newman's, and the ability of the growing numbers of permanent settlers to supply the timber demands of the merchants. During the nineteenth century the forest industry in Bay d'Espoir became the major source of income. The 1901 Census reported two sawmills in operation, one in Conne River and one in Milltown. In 1952 Abraham Collier began a sawmill in St. Joseph's, and by the early 1970s a revival had begun in the Bay d'Espoir forest industry. A sawmill was set up in St. Alban's by William Snook in 1972, and in 1974 construction was begun on a sawmill in Conne River by Conne River Native Enterprises; this mill began operations in 1975. A spin-off industry was revived in 1975 in Head of Bay d'Espoir when Alvin Roberts began a boat-building operation which utilized wood produced by the local sawmills. In order to supplement their diets and their income, many settlers hunted and trapped caribou, moose and small fur-bearing animals which were plentiful in the countryside near their homes. Gardening, small-scale hunting and trapping remained important occupations in Bay d'Espoir in the following decades. Several women of Conne River began a business known as the Conne River Arts and Crafts, and a store was set up in the community to sell its products. A second group, known as the Bay d'Espoir Arts and Crafts Association, was set up in 1977 in St. Alban's. They also used local materials and talent to fashion their craft items. Both groups sold their items to buyers in the Province and rest of Canada. ===== Religion and Education ===== The majority of early residents of Bay d'Espoir were Protestant with a few Roman Catholic famihes in the Head of Bay d'Espoir-Ship Cove area of the bay. In the Census of 1891 schools and churches in Bay d'Espoir were reported for the first time. A Roman Catholic school that could accommodate thirty pupils was reported in Great Jervois while another Roman Catholic school, with seating for thirty students, was reported in Ship Cove. Two Roman Catholic churches were reported in that year; one in Ship Cove and one in Conne River. By 1901 a Church of England school accommodating thirty students had opened in "Bay-de-Est." Also, in that year, a school with room for thirty-five pupils was built in Head of Bay d'Espoir. In 1983 there were two Anglican churches in Bay d'Espoir, both of which shared the services of one minister: Christ Church in Milltown and Ascension Church in Morrisville. As well there was one Roman Catholic church, St. Ignatius, in St. Alban's with the resident priest making visits to Conne River regularly. Schools were in operation in Conne River, St. Alban's and Milltown in 1983. ===== Transportation and Infrastructure ===== Bay d'Espoir was very isolated during its early existence. Its permanent settlers were visited only by those with access to boats, usually migratory fishermen and seasonal loggers. During the late 1860s the first telegraph office was set up in Bay de North by the New York, Newfoundland and London Telegraph Company. Roads, usually rough tracks opened to facilitate the harvest of the forests, were non-existent from community to community until the late nineteenth century. By the early 1900s a postal service from Conne River to Gaultois had been contracted to Charles MacDonald. According to the House of Assembly in 1907 "On the South Coast in Fortune and Hermitage Bays [including Bay d'Espoir] and along the inside islands ... sailing packets are still engaged to distribute the mails. In addition to mail conveyance, these packets convey passengers and freight from place to place, that are left at different points by the mail steamers." During the 1910s post offices were set up in Ship Cove, Bay du Nord, Conne River, Great Jervois, Head of Bay d'Espoir, Milltown, Raymond's Point and St. Joseph's while three couriers transported mail from Bay du Nord to Bay de Est, from Great Jervois to Pushthrough and from Head of Bay d'Espoir to Point Rote. By 1913 the telegraph office in Bay de North had closed and been replaced by a telegraph office in Conne River. As well, in the 1910s, ferries were operating between Great Jervois and Pushthrough and in Bay d'Espoir. Until the 1950s, Bay d'Espoir remained one of the most isolated areas on the Island. After 1949, mainly during the building of the Bay d'Espoir hydro-electric project, roads were built connecting many of the communities to each other and to the major highways in central Newfoundland. The infrastructure set up by the hydro-electric project also increased the availability of telephone and electricity services in the area. In 1965 an airstrip was constructed north of St. Alban's; it was operated by the Newfoundland and Labrador Power Commission. In the 1970s the facility was turned over to the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. During the 1970s and 1980s unemployment in the region, especially after the completion of the hydro-electric project, was very high. Many of the residents in the 1980s sought seasonal work in other areas of the Province and in mainland Canada. In the early 1970s the Bay d'Espoir Development Association was set up to try to ameliorate the skuation. Made up of representatives from each community in the bay the Association was active in planning the future development of Bay d'Espoir. In 1974, after its designation as an Indian Community, Conne River set up an Indian Band council, and Conne River Native Enterprises was organized to deal with the development of that community; in 1976 the Micmac Development Corporation was formed to develop new employment projects for the community. === Hermitage Bay Communities === {| border="1" class="sortable" bgcolor="#fffcef" !

Malden was originally called "Mistick Side" and was a part of Charlestown, Massachusetts, settled by the Puritans in 1640 on land purchased from the Pennacook tribe in 1629. It was incorporated as a town in 1649. It was named after Maldon, England, by Joseph Hills, an early settler and landowner. At the time of the Revolution in 1775, the town's 1,000 people were actively involved in opposing British rule. It became the first town to petition the colonial government to withdraw from the British Empire. == Genealogy Resources == * [https://archive.org/details/birthsmarriages01coregoog ''Births, Marriages & Deaths in the Town of Malden 1649-1850''] * Corey, Deloraine.

Please feel free to add to it.'' '''Créole''' — This is a word with complex and contextual meaning. It is a cultural referent, and not a racial referent, as many have come to believe. Originally, the term referred to any person of French (or Spanish) descent who was born in the colonies. During the 17th and 18th centuries, in the French Antilles, this meant mostly white, French settlers. But by the end of slavery in Martinique, in 1848, much of the population was mixed race, giving the term a new complexity. In recent years, it’s use by intellectuals in post-colonial studies has emphasized this multi-racial aspect of the word, but this is a rather new meaning. For those working in genealogy or history of the Antilles, it is important to realize the context; when an old record refers to someone as, ‘créole’ it means simply, ‘native born.’ '''Bèké''' — a modern créole word for plantation owner, used after the end of slavery into the twentieth century, '''Négociant''' — a trader and wholesaler. The négociant may be the person who purchased the goods from the ships docking in Saint-Pierre, and resold them to the merchands (merchants). The same person might also arrange for the sale of slaves to the plantation owners, or sugar and rum to buyers overseas. It may also be used as "businessman" or "merchant".

This project aims to pull together, as much as possible, the many varied families of this small county. [[Hicks-10308|My wife]] hails from there, and her family has roots there going back several generations. Most of the older families have married into all the other older families many times over many generations, such that when I do a relationship check on someone, I almost ALWAYS get something like this: :''1st cousin 1x removed of wife of uncle of husband of 1st cousin of husband of wife of brother-in-law of nephew of wife of 2nd cousin of your wife''.

'''The Fire of 1858 ''' On May 23rd, 1858, a fire spread from a house on Broad street, two doors below the White Hall stables. The alarm immediately alerted residents who made strenuous efforts to extinguish the flames, but to no avail. The flames spread to adjoining buildings. Residents tore down the New York Hotel to avoid feeding the blaze, but soon all hopes of saving the wooden buildings in the business part of town was at an end. The fire crossed to the south side of Broad Street, and all the houses between the residence of Mrs. Von Poellnitz and Jesse Wall's brick store were destroyed. The Methodist Church, however, was saved by excessive blankets and water. The building at the junction of Broad and Commercial streets was torn down, effectively sparing all of the residences on Broad Street above Commercial. The fire slowly moved downtown, destroying all the wooden houses on the north side of Broad and on both sides of Commercial and Main Streets to the bridges. The Union Hotel, however was saved. The desperate and untiring exertions of many citizens for over an hour spared the Democrat Building and Lampe's barber shop. Had these two buildings caught fire, the flames would have crossed over to Spring Street and consumed the Baptist Church and a number of other residences. The flames also crossed the ravine to the east of Main Street, destroying the Gas Works and a number of buildings in the vicinity. The slow-moving nature of the fire, however, created less destruction in total than the July 19th, 1856 blaze. Residents, this time, were fortunately able to save most of their movable property. Nearly three-dozen fire-proof bricks stood the fiery test and with their contents preserved. The fire originated in a house occupied by Chinese residents, escalating a tone of prejudice throughout the town. The local newspaper, the Nevada Democrat, resorted to childish name-calling and recommended blatant discrimination as a solution to the problem. They claimed that "if white men will refuse to rent them houses, they can be kept out without trouble. If they must live in towns, let them build a town of their own." == Sources == *I. J. Rolfe & Company (26-05-1858) The Nevada Democrat, Nevada City, California, Volume 5, Number 34, Page 1, 26 May 1858, accessed online at Chronicling America.

[[Category:Pickering, Missouri]] This is a study of the Town of Pickering presently located in the county of Nodaway, Missouri. === Early History === Pickering was laid out in 1871. It was founded by Josiah Cosigh Coleman([[Coleman-9419]]) and named after Pickering Clark. "''The next settlement in Union Township was made by Dr. Josiah Coleman, who entered the land where Pickering is now located. This is a most delightful situation, on the rolling prairie as it rises out of the first terrace, some three-quarters of a mile from the One Hundred and Two River. Here Dr. Coleman opened a farm, and administered professionally to those who came and settled around him. He afterward sold his farm, disposing of the portion on which the town of Pickering now stands to Judge Andrew Royal, and went to Kansas.''"National historical company, St. Joseph, Mo. 1882. The history of Nodaway county, Missouri, containing a history of the county, its cities, towns, etc., biographical sketches of its citizens. St. Joseph, Mo: National historical Co. [https://archive.org/details/historyofnodaway00nati.]

This pleasant little village, of about 200 inhabitants, is situated nearly midway between Maryville and Hopkins, on the Maryville Branch of the Kansas City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs Railroad. Dr. Josiah Coleman made an original survey of the town, and named it Pickering, in honor of Pickering Clark, who held a position on this railroad. It is a tradition of the town that when the first train came down the road and approached this point, this name was selected, and the place was chris- tened Pickering. Dr. Coleman's interests were bought out by Judge Andrew Royal who purchased the forty acres upon which the town is now located, for $3,000. Judge Royal re-surveyed and laid it out the second time in 1871. There was no public sale of lots, but lots were disposed of at private sale. Dr. Josiah Colman owned the farm where Pickering now stands, and his farm house, located on the second roll from the river, fell within the village limits, and has since been used as a hotel. This was the first hotel opened in the village, and was kept by J. W. Harman. David Van Zandt built the first residence after the town was first incorporated. D. N. Garten then moved a dwelling house from Xenia, which, being left by the railroad, was afterward abandoned. The next residence was put up by J. W. Harman. Several dwellings were erected about this time, as the town began to grow. Mrs. David Van Zant was the first person who died in Pickering after it was first incorporated. This occurred in the fall of 187 1. Mr. David Van Zant's son was the first child born after the first incorpora- tion. Dr. Wm. M. Wallace was the first practicing physician in the incor- porated town of Pickering. The first marriage in Pickering occurred at the house of J. W. Harman. Mr. L. L. Holbrook, of Maryville, was united in bonds of wedlock to Miss Lou D. Harman. In 1879, ED. Nash put up a grain elevator, which he operated two years, when he sold it to Bariteau & Welch, of Maryville, who still own it. Pickering is a good point for the shipment of grain. In 1879, 370 car loads of grain were shipped, and in 1880, 400 car loads were shipped, mostly corn. When the railroad came to Pickering, J. W. Harman was appointed agent, and has continued to hold the position to the present time. Mr. Harman has made a model agent, being a care- ful and accurate business man, kind and obliging to the traveling public, and keeping the passenger house as neat and clean as a dwelling. Pickering is considered a healthy point, the drainage of the village being good, and the roll on which the village is built lifting it above the malarious influences in the valley lands. The town was incorporated February' 4, 1879

===Geographic Features=== Pickering is located at 40°27′2″N 94°50′31″W According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.19 square miles (0.49 km2), all land“Pickering, Missouri.” In Wikipedia, August 12, 2020. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pickering,_Missouri&oldid=972519118]. ''Pickering is located about three-fourths of a mile from the One Hundred and Two River, on what is known as the second terrace. It is a beautiful site for a town, — the land rising gently with a fine roll from the lower terrace which gives the town a sufficient elevation to overlook all the valley for miles in both directions. Just above the town the river is deflected in its coure a little toward the east, and carries with it a belt of timber in a waving line through the valley, the trees partly hidden by the banks, appearing in the summer like a fringe to the green carpet beneath one's feet. Pickering is as cosy a little village as one can find, and there is a peaceful atmosphere about the place, to the observing traveler, that is quite delightful.'' ===Timeline=== ===Founders and First Families=== '''Colemans''' Josiah Cosigh Coleman '''Kinneys''' Benjamin W.

"In 1871, D. N. Garten & Brother erected the first business house in Pickering, and opened a stock of mixed merchandise. Dr. William M. Wallace and Judge Royal erected the second busi- ness house in 1871, and opened a drug store. In the summer of 1871, A. Woods built a blacksmith shop. Peter Behm put up a business house in 1873, and opened a stock of mixed merchandise. About the same time Milton Anderson built a harness shop. The next store was put up by Marion Ferrel, who opened a stock of mixed merchandise. The Pickering House was built in 1873, by Royal & Garten. A wagon shop was built in 1873, by Jacob Wagoner. In 1874, the Pickering Manufacturing Company erected a building and carried on the manufacture of agricultural implements, wagons, etc. They continued business about two years, and had a thriving trade, but through mismanagement, concluded to make a change, and sold out to B. W. Kenny, who continued to do business on a less extended scale for about six years. In 1874, a cheese factory was put up by Shoemaker Bros., of New York, who carried on the business for two years. An institution for packing and preserving eggs was built in 1874, which was in activity for three or four years. In 1877, Wallace Bros., erected a building and opened a drug store. In 1879, J- J- Van Buren built a blacksmith shop."

In May 1817, Roswell Hart, Willis Kempshall, John G. Bond, Abner Wakelee, and Francis Brown were elected as the village's first fire wardens. They were tasked with making monthly inspections of all houses in the village. In June of that year, Rochester citizens voted to appropriate $350 to buy fire-hooks and ladders and to take other measures to protect the settlement against fire. The first fire company was organized on October 19th, 1817 and included: [[Peck-7136|Everard Peck]], William P.

===Introduction=== In 1639 several families left Salem and under the direction of Reverend Ezekiel Rogers built the town of Rowley. Rogers gathered twenty or so of the families in the Yorkshire area where he had been preaching before leaving the church following a dispute. Many came over with him on the "John of London" in 1638 and lived on the ship until the land deal was settled for their new home. {{Image|file=Swan-18.jpg |caption=House lots of Early Settlers of Rowley, MA }} This study will focus on the town being built and the people who built it, the journey from Yorkshire and events leading up to that and the first couple of generations of children born there and their lives. ===What Lead to Rowley=== On the second of March, 1621 Ezeckiel Rogers was ordaned as a Priest Bishop Bayley - he had graduated in 1608 and served as chaplain to Sir Francis Barrinton who then appointed him to be the Reverend at Rowley Church in Yorkshire. For seventeen years he served that church but then did not want to read about sports on a Sabbath so left in 1638 and formed a plan to gather folks and head out to New England and keep the faith as he saw it should be kept.

==== {{One Place Study | place = Stonington, Connecticut |category= Stonington, Connecticut One Place Study}} ====About Stonington, New London, Connecticut:==== * "...the white men continually applied Indian names to features of the landscape that were not at all in the Indian mind when they coined the word. Thus a word meaning a hill might be applied by the white men to all the surrounding territory and come eventually to mean a pond. And so the Indian names, or their Indian approximates, have come down to us not in the names of the towns, which the white men were creating in the tradition of their own race, but in features of the countryside streams, mountains, hills and other natural aspects." Stonington was the fifteenth (15th) Settlement in Connecticut and was settled 1649; named Souther Towne, by Mass., Oct., 1658; Stonington by Conn., 1666.

The town includes the eastern halves of the villages of Mystic and Old Mystic, the borough of Stonington, and the villages of Lords Point, Wequetequok, and Pawcatuck. Settled in 1649 and named Stonington in 1666, the town grew as its shipbuilding and whaling industries thrived. Even today, the state’s last commercial fishing fleet is based in Stonington. The town, and especially the village of Mystic, is also a popular tourist destination, with a lively historic district, museums, and retail shops."''ConnecticutHistory.org'': View at: [ConneciticutHistory.org: Stonington: https://connecticuthistory.org/towns-page/stonington]/ * ''It would be interesting to know how Mr. Stanton appeased the wrath of the Court and the Commissioners, but adding this to other impossible things we learn that the next year he and his family moved to Wequetequock Cove, two and a half miles east of Stonington. This was in 1658. The first settler upon the shores of that cove was William Chesebrough, in 1649; the next was Walter Palmer, who came to Salem, Massachusetts, from Nottinghamshire, England, in 1629. The third settler was Mr. Stanton. In October, 1658, this territory belonged to the Massachusetts Plantation, what is now Stonington, New London County, Connecticut, was then Southington, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. The court ordered it managed by Capt. George Denison, Robert Park, William Chesebrough, Thomas Stanton and Walter Palmer. In 1662, Charles II gave Connecticut a new charter that included Southington, in 1665 the name was changed to Mystic, and in 1667 the final change was made to Stonington.

The Ojibway people played a large part in Temagami’s history. The popular White Bear Forest was named after a chief of the Teme Augama Anishnabai before Europeans arrived. The northern portion of the trails was developed by the White Bear family and other members of the Teme Augama Anishnabai. The trails were part of a portage system, estimated to be over 3000 years old, which passed through the heart of the forest from Snake Island Lake to Cassels Lake. Before the logging dam was built the water was lower than it is today, and it froze first so the First Nations people could portage their canoes along these routes." ''Temagami Lakes Association'' In 1834 the Hudson's Bay Company built a store on Temagami Island, which later relocated to Bear Island. The town of Temagami was founded by Dan O'Connor, who in 1903 formed a steamship company on the lake and established its first store on the future townsite. By 1906, he had built three hotels on Lake Temagami: Hotel Ronnoco, Temagami Inn, and Lady Evelyn Hotel. Discoveries of gold, copper, nickel, and particularly silver in 1903, brought mining to nearby Cobalt and accelerated development of the region. Several mines opened in Temagami, including Big Dan Mine, Little Dan Mine, Barton Mine, Hermiston-McCauley Mine, Temagami-Lorrain Mine, Priest Mine, Beanland Mine, Sherman Mine, Kanichee Mine, Northland Pyrite Mine and Copperfields Mine, which once mined the richest copper ore in Canada. The Forest Reserves Act of 1898 established the 15,000 km2 (5,800 sq mi) Temagami Forest Reserve. Because of this reserve, the region was home to the last old growth forests in Ontario. Logging of the vast pine stands only began in the 1920s. Now just a few patches of old growth remain, including the White Bear Forest (12.42 km²) and the world's largest stand of old-growth red and white pine forest - the Wakimika Triangle Forest (25 km²). This has led to confrontation in recent years between loggers and environmentalists when new logging access roads are built or major logging operations are proposed. Access to many old-growth areas is provided on local hiking trails and canoe routes. In 1968, Temagami was incorporated, first as an Improvement District, and 10 years later as a Township,[3] consisting of the geographic townships of Strathy and Strathcona, together with parts of Briggs, Chambers, Best, Cassels, and Yates townships. In 1973, The Teme-Augama Anishnabai (TAA) exercised a land caution against development on the Crown land of 10,000 square kilometres, most of the Temagami area. The Attorney General of Ontario pursued legal action against the Band for this caution. The TAA lost this court case in 1984 and the Band proceeded with an Appeal to the Supreme Court. The Band lost this Appeal and eventually the Caution was lifted. In 1988, the Ontario Minister of Natural Resources, Vince Kerrio approved the expansion of the Red Squirrel Road, directly through Anishnabe territory. This prompted a series of roadblocks by the TAA and by the Temagami Wilderness Society in 1988-1989. The Temagami First Nation's former chief Gary Potts was the leader of the TAA blockades. In 1991 the TAA and the Ontario government created the Wendaban Stewardship Authority to decide what to do with the four townships near the logging road. On January 1, 1998, the Township of Temagami was greatly enlarged through the merger with 17 unincorporated townships and became the Municipality of Temagami with "town" status.

==Description== This is a place study with the goal of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oELSMz-ImJ8 reconstructing a community]. ==How To Join== Simply add your name to the list. ==Members== * [[Martin-15906|Lance Martin]] ==Current Goals== Step one of the process will be to index the Stammbuch of the community and to create well sourced profiles from them. Each profile from the source documents shall belong to the following categories. The main Stammbuch category for their surname. The category with ones parents. And when applicable, the category with ones offspring and the category with ones spouse's parents. Categories shall be named as such: For the main Stammbuch, create a category: :[[Category:'''{{blue|FamilyName}}''' Stammbuch, Uri Canton, '''{{blue|Name}}''' Name Study]] : where FamilyName is the surname of the Stammbuch. A short description like: ''This category is for the Regli v Gosch Stammbuch of Uri Canton'' should be included. For each family group create a sub category: :[[Category: '''{{blue|FamilyName}}''' Stammbuch '''{{blue|xxx}}''', Sources]] :where xxx is replaced with the family number. A short description like: ''This category is for the Regli v Gosch Stammbuch family group xxx'' should be included. Main Stammbuch categories should be included in the category '''{{blue|Name}}''' Name Study Family group categories should be included in the main surname Stammbuch category. == Staumbuch Collection == This is a collection of all of the family names. Each individual born in the canton is recorded in these books. It contains marriage information, parent information and descendant information. If a date is not listed, I have been using the following estimating practice, 20 at first marrriage, then if no marriage date, 20 at first child. If the individual is listed in a family group, but lacking their birthdate, I have been adding one or two years to the birth year of the next older child. In Dec 2017 The entire Stammbuch collection has come online. The quality of the images are exceptional. It is free. Some go back to the early 1600's. Though the writing is an old version of Swiss/German a good percentage of the information is accessible to the English speaker.

===Brod/Vráto=== Vráto is a small village about 4 km north-east of České Budějovice in Southern Bohemia. It appeared for the first time in a written record in 1375 with its German name Brod. The Czech name Wrata can be found as early as 1479. The village was subject to Budweis/České Budějovice as confirmed by [[Jagiellończyk-4|Vladislav II Jagiello]], king of Poland and Bohemia, in 1498 as "long-standing property". In 1543 Wrata, together with other villages, was entered in the Desky zemskéLiterally translated "land tables", a Czech predecessor of land registers for hereditary estates. Available online at [http://www.badatelna.eu/fond/181560/zakladni-informace/ Národní archiv - Desky zemské vetší] as property of Budweis/České Budějovice.

=== A Brief History === Waarder is a village in the Dutch municipality of Bodegraven-Reeuwijk and is located in the province of South Holland . The village is enclosed by the towns of Woerden and Oudewater (province of Utrecht) and the villages of Papekop, Driebruggen and Nieuwerbrug . The village is predominantly Protestant. Waarder originated around an elevation in the peat reclamation area along the small peat river Oude Wetering and covers the following polders, among others: Oosteinderpolder, Westeinderpolder, Korte Waarder and Kerverland. The present Dutch Reformed church was built on a still existing elevation around 1500; its west facade is from 1774, according to a dating stone. The first mention of the village of Waarder was in 1108. A commandery of the Order of St John stood in Waarder, a former amt fiefdom, until 1672: the Hof van Waarder. Nothing remains of this commandery. The municipality of Waarder was partly transferred from the province of Utrecht to Zuid-Holland in 1814, thus coming under both provinces and finally falling under the province of Zuid-Holland in 1818. Until 1964, Waarder remained an independent municipality, divided between Driebruggen (main part) and Woerden. The municipal coat of arms consisted of three woerden (male ducks). From 1964 to 1989, Waarder belonged to the municipality of Driebruggen. From 1989 to 2011, it belonged to the municipality of Reeuwijk. In the 1970s, expansion began on Kosterdijk, followed by a new housing estate behind Molendijk. The last extensions took place at Hof van Waarder, running parallel to the medieval Kerkelaantje, and the Jenneke E. Bijlhof. Little remains of the old buildings in the village, only the N.H. church, the old public school (1882) and a few farms. Outside the village, a large number of farms are in their original state (such as on Westeinde). In 2008, the village of Waarder celebrated its 900th anniversary.

All officers were appointed and commissioned by the Provincial Congress. The Wake County Regiment was active until the end of the war. Units of this regiment were known to have participated in the following known battles/skirmishes: Date(s): Known Battles / Skirmishes: 2/27/1776 Moore's Creek Bridge 3/3/1779 Briar Creek (GA) 6/20/1779 Stono Ferry (SC) 3/28-5/12/1780 Siege of Charleston 1780 (SC) 8/11/1780 Little Lynches Creek (SC) 8/16/1780 Camden (SC) 2/1/1781 Cowan's Ford 2/1/1781 Tarrant's Tavern 3/15/1781 Guilford Court House 4/25/1781 Hobkirk's Hill (SC) 9/8/1781 Eutaw Springs (SC) 9/13/1781 Lindley's Mill 9/1781 Brown Marsh 10/15/1781 Raft Swamp ---- *https://www.joellane.org/history/wake-county/wake_countys_history Formation Many political and administrative reasons led to the creation of Wake County in the year 1771. The Regulator rebellion, which had only just been quelled in May 1771 with the Battle of Alamance, was fresh on the minds of lawmakers. The Regulator movement was strong in the backcountry where men protested unfair tax policy and wanted to self-government. Lawmakers felt that they could exercise more control over the backcountry in the future if they divided up the larger counties - previous strongholds of Regulator thought - into smaller ones. However, new counties generally came about due simply to increased growth. The population in the Piedmont and western portions of the colony had expanded steadily, particularly from the 1760s and onwards. The new citizens there wanted greater representation in the General Assembly, and new political units would entitle them to additional members. Issues like long travel distances and lodging also played a significant roll in the creation of new county seats. Some residents of future Wake as well as citizens further west communicated these reasons to the General Assembly in the form of petitions. One of the Wake petitions argued that a new county seat would be more easily accessible from their scattered homes for attending “General Musters, Election of Burgesses and vestrymen (sic)” and at Court as witnesses and jurymen. Many had to travel as often as four times a year the “vast Distance” from their homes to the Orange county seat of “Hillsborough: for these purposes.” Inadequate roads and the difficulty of crossing “many Large Water Courses” not only put them to “very Considerable hardships and Inconvenances (sic)” but also often made them “Subject to have fines and fortitudes” for not attending the required military, voting, and court duties. A Birth Date Shared with Three Other Counties The General Assembly therefore created four new counties: Chatham, Guilford and Surry and Wake. The act creating Wake County was to take effect on March 12, 1771, the earliest of the effective dates of the new counties. Similar wording in the four acts explained that the older counties were so large as to “render it grievous and Burdensome” as well as “extremely Difficult and expensive” for many inhabitants living great distances from their county seats to “do Public duties,” that is to attend the “Courts, General Musters and other Public Meeting therein.” Joel Lane as Introducer of the Bill The bill to establish Wake County was introduced in the House of Commons on December 17, 1770, by the representative from the western area of Johnston County, Joel Lane. Prior to presenting the bill, Lane read to the House of Commons a petition “from Sundry Inhabitants of Johnston County therein Praying a Division of the said County be made.” Successful in securing an affirmative vote on first reading in the House, the bill’s introducer, Joel Lane, along with Representative Walter Gibson from Cumberland County, walked from the meeting of the House to the grand new council chamber in the palace (Tryon Palace) to deliver the bill to the upper house. On January 2, 1771, after some amendments and many trips between the two meeting places, the Council completed the third reading, passed the bill, and ordered it to be engrossed. The bill was returned to the House of Commons where it had originated, and was given its final reading there on January 5. It received the governor’s approval on Tuesday, January 15, 1771. ---- https://www.ncpedia.org/geography/wake ee also: Joel Lane House; Meredith College; North Carolina Museum of Art; North Carolina Museum of History; North Carolina State University; Raleigh; Research Triangle Park; Saint Augustine's College; State Capitol. Wake County, located in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, was formed in 1771 from Johnston, Cumberland, and Orange Counties and named for Margaret Wake Tryon, the wife of royal governor William Tryon. Early inhabitants of the area included the Sissipahaw and Occaneechi Indians; English and Scotch-Irish settlers later populated the region. Raleigh was established as the county seat in 1771 under the name Wake County Courthouse; the name was changed to Raleigh, in honor of Sir Walter Raleigh, when the city became the capital of North Carolina in 1792. Other Wake County cities and towns, all within what is fast becoming a solid ring of urban and suburban development surrounding Raleigh, include Cary, Garner, Fuquay-Varina, Holly Springs, Apex, Morrisville, Wake Forest, Zebulon, Wendell, and Knightdale. Notable bodies of water within the county include the Neuse River, Wake Forest Reservoir, Falls, Wheeler, Crabtree, and Bass Lakes, and Swift, Sycamore, and Hominy Creeks. Wake County is one of North Carolina's most urbanized counties, with an estimated population of nearly 724,000 in 2004. It is dominated by the state government and its ancillary institutions, multiple large businesses and corporations located in Research Triangle Park (which straddles the line between Wake and Durham Counties) and other locales around Raleigh, and its outstanding colleges and universities-North Carolina State University (1887), Peace College (1857), Shaw University (1865), Saint Augustine's College (1867), and Meredith College (1891). Important cultural and historical landmarks and institutions abound in Raleigh and vicinity and include the State Capitol (1833-40); the Governor's Mansion (1891); the State Legislative Building (1961); the Joel Lane House (1760s), the oldest house in Raleigh; Mordecai Historic Park (1785); and the North Carolina State Fairgrounds. Important institutions and attractions include the North Carolina Museum of History, the North Carolina Museum of Art, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, Raleigh Ensemble Players, Exploris, Raleigh Little Theatre and Rose Garden, the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra, North Carolina State University Crafts Center Gallery, the North Carolina Literary and Historical Association, the North Carolina State Archives, and the Wendell Post Office Museum. William B. Umstead State Park is one of Wake County's many recreational areas. The county hosts popular festivals and annual events such as the North Carolina State Fair, Saint Patrick's Day Parade, the state Special Olympics Summer Games, the International Festival, Executive Mansion Christmas, the Today and Yesteryear Festival, and Rolesville Fireman's Day. Wake County farmers continue to produce agricultural goods such as nursery and landscape plants, vegetables, and tobacco. Manufactured products include high-tech items such as digital electronics, telecommunications equipment, measuring devices, and pharmaceuticals. Also produced are electric switch gears, flooring, and refrigeration equipment. Minerals such as soapstone, corundum, beryl, graphite, kyanite, pyrite, and magnesite are mined in the county. ---- Early history Wake County was formed in 1770 from parts of Cumberland County, Johnston County, and Orange County. The first courthouse was built at a village originally called Wake Courthouse, now known as Bloomsbury. In 1771, the first elections and court were held, and the first militia units were organized. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_County,_North_Carolina#:~:text=Wake%20County%20was%20formed%20in,first%20militia%20units%20were%20organized. When other counties began to be formed, this caused Wake County to lose part of its territory. 1787 Part of Wake went to be Franklin County. Again in 1881, some of Wake County land became Durham County. Again more went into Durham County in 1911. '''Colonial period of North Carolina''', New Bern became the state capital and afterward Bern. During the American Revolution, there was no capital. At this time the general Assembly held meetings in differing locations. '''1786, 1789, 1790, and 1793''' - Fayetteville was the state capital there was no capital, and the General Assembly met in various locations. 1792 a commission selected a site to build a permanent North Carolina state capital. It was to be Raleigh. This was Joel Lane's land. This occurred after the committee was treated to food and spirits at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Lane_House Joel Lane's home]. {{Image|file=Wake_County_North_Carolina_One_Place_Study-1.jpg |caption=Wake County, North Carolina }} 1794 Raleigh became the state capital permanently. Lane named Wake County in honor of Margaret Wake Tryon, wife of colonial Governor William Tryon. Raleigh was named for Sir Walter Raleigh, and established in 1792 on 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) purchased from Lane. NOTE Sir Walter Raleigh never was on North Carolina land. However Raleigh did arrange for the first English Colony in North America to be established on Roanoke Island in 1585 The city of Raleigh became both the state capital and the new seat of Wake County. Civil War Main article: Battle of Morrisville The Battle at Morrisville Station was fought April 13–15, 1865, in Morrisville, North Carolina, during the Carolinas Campaign of the American Civil War. It was the last official battle of the Civil War between the armies of Major General William T. Sherman and General Joseph E. Johnston. General Judson Kilpatrick, commanding officer of the Union cavalry advance, compelled Confederate forces under the command of Generals Wade Hampton III and Joseph Wheeler to withdraw in haste. They had been frantically trying to transport their remaining supplies and wounded by rail westward toward the final Confederate encampment in Greensboro. Kilpatrick used artillery on the heights overlooking Morrisville Station and cavalry charges to push the Confederates out of the small village, leaving many needed supplies behind. However, the trains were able to withdraw with wounded from the [[:Category:Battle of Bentonville|Battle of Bentonville]] and the [[:Category:Battle of Averasboro|Battle of Averasboro]]. Later, General Johnston sent a courier to the federal encampments at Morrisville with a message for Major General Sherman requesting a conference to discuss an armistice. Several days later, the two generals met at Bennett Place near Durham on April 17, 1865, to begin discussing the terms of what would become the largest surrender of the war. In November 2017, commissioners of Wake and Harnett Counties discussed the possibility of redrawing the line between the counties using the latest technology. This could affect 27 homeowners, who would end up in a different county or have their property divided between the two.

== Wrockwardine, Shropshire One Place Study == {{One Place Study|place=Wrockwardine, Shropshire|category=Wrockwardine, Shropshire One Place Study}} {{Clear}} * {{Wikidata|Q3876737|enwiki}} The Wikipedia page looks fairly accurate apart from the part about ''The Alms-Houses were built in 1986, by the bare hands of Alan Wedge'' which really made me laugh as I remember Alan Wedge who was old when I was a child at Wrockwardine School. I've no idea who added that to Wikipedia but Alan Wedge was certainly one of the villages characters of the past. * [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Space: One Place Study|WikiTree Profiles that link here]] ===Scope=== This study will cover just the village of Wrockwardine rather than the Parish of Wrockwardine which covers a much larger area 55,392 hectares and has a population of almost 6,000 people.Wrockwardine Parish Council website https://www.wrockwardine.org.uk/community/wrockwardine-parish-council-15408/home/ Wrockwardine village itself has a much smaller population and currently consists of approx 130 dwellings. Burcot and Tiddicross will be included in the study as both are just a short distance from the main village. Tiddicross was for some time the workhouse for the area and will be very interesting to research.Tiddicross Workhouse, near Wrockwardine https://www.workhouses.org.uk/WellingtonSalop/ I will also include Orleton HallSee the Historic England entry about Orleton hall https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1001132?section=official-list-entry in the study as even now many of the buildings in the village still belong to this estate. ===Geography=== :'''Continent:''' Europe :'''Sovereign State:''' United Kingdom :'''Country:''' England :'''County:''' Shropshire :'''GPS Coordinates:''' 52.70259588151763, -2.5542367405790407 :'''Elevation:''' 117.0 m or 383.9 feet ===History=== Wrockwardine was a settlement in Domesday Book, in the hundred of Wrockwardine and the county of Shropshire. It had a recorded population of 27 households in 1086, putting it in the largest 40% of settlements recorded in Domesday.Open Domesday website https://opendomesday.org/place/SJ6212/wrockwardine/ I aim to study the history of the older buildings in the village including: St. Peter's church, The Old Cottage, the Alms Houses, the Old Rectory, Wrockwardine Hall, both school buildings and the Village Hall. ===Population=== I will be extracting data from the census returns and putting together family trees for past residents. ===What i'm currently working on...=== * Transcribing the 1911 census for the village - DONE * Adding the family groups and individuals to WikiTree. I have to say that this has been fascinating, each family i've worked on so far has been interesting, whether ordinary working folk or from aristocratic roots they each have their own story to tell. See the profiles i've added so far [[Space:1911_Census_Wrockwardine_OPS|1911 Census Wrockwardine OPS]] ===Profiles included in this study=== To see which profiles are tagged with the Wrockwardine OPS sticker so far see: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Wrockwardine%2C_Shropshire_One_Place_Study ===Sources===
