Correction to the website address I originally sent with the first mailing to the list. Sally per Roy Johnson .. I am amazed at this kind of feedback from something that was just a kind of afterthought on my part. Try the URL for the black history page again. I found that I prepared this document on my own site, thought I uploaded it to the Pace site, but did not Pace Jamestown background is at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb com/~pace/jtown.htm Hope I got that one right. I will be happy to correspond with anyone, but I don't know any more about Jamestown history than anyone. There are others in the Pace Society who know much more. Roy Hi Roy, Thought you'd like to see a response to your article I posted. Unfortunately, couldn't pull up the site you sent, see below with response from server, but was able to get to the main site at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~pace/ .. would you please resend the URL for the site on black history journey?

Please look at this site. It is legitimate and you can help to provide Free Mammograms. http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/CTDSites Thanks Rose

20 Sep 2002 -- This was forwarded to me from one of the mailing lists I subscribe to. Found it very interesting, so wanted to share it with the various groups via email/mailing list. Roy Johnson was kind enough to give me permission to reprint his article and has included another website, for additional information. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did. Sally Per Roy Johnson … I taught history for 31 years of my life, and my history books told of the first blacks brought to Jamestown in 1619 by a Dutch slaving ship that ran aground and then sold their cargo to the colonists. The books said that the Jamestown residents were quite startled as they had never seen blacks before. I have a copy of the marriages performed in St. Dunstan parish [Stepney, London] in 1608, which included the Richard Pace marriage [the Pace patriarch at Jamestown, VA]. Imagine my surprise as I looked at the other marriages of that year to find "Sam and Mary, nigers." First, I was surprised at the word "nigers". I had been under the impression that the term "nigger" was derived from a corruption of the Spanish word "Negro", meaning simply "black", evolving first into "Nigra" then "nigger". However, the word "niger" is LATIN for "black". It now appears that this term pre-dated the Spanish "Negro", which came into use only later when most slaves were acquired from Spanish sources. I would guess that the older term then took on a negative connotation, which it probably did not have in the beginning. Secondly, the assumption that Richard Pace and the other Jamestown residents had never seen blacks is obviously untrue. Richard and Isabella Pace, William Perry, and others from the St. Dunstan area were undoubtedly familiar with Africans before they came to America. Slavery did not exist in English law at that time, but indentured servitude did. Most servants had a contract for x number of years, but the law set a limit on how long servitude could be in the absence of a contract—I think it was 16 years. So those early African-Americans were released after their term of servitude and became free men. There is a record of at least one of them taking up some land and paying the passage of some white servants from England, thus acquiring indentured servants of his own. Not too many Americans realize that there was once a time when blacks could own whites. Also, there are descendents of these early black servants whose ancestors (in that line, at least) were never slaves. It took 100 years for American law to create our "peculiar institution" of slavery. In the 1600s when a person said he owned "slaves" he was referring to his indentured servants, and they could be white, black, or Native American. Gradually laws were passed extending the term of servitude for blacks and shortening it for whites, until it eventually became a lifetime obligation. Other laws forbade black-white and slave-free marriages, and eventually, required that the children of slaves also be the property of the master, making American slavery unlike slavery in ancient Rome or in Africa, where this was not the case. It would be most interesting to know where Richard Pace was when those first blacks were brought ashore in 1619, and what he thought. Of course, we can only speculate. I suspect that his kindness to the Indian boy Chanco [saved Jamestown settlers in 1622 Massacre by warning Richard Pace of impending attack] would presuppose a similar attitude toward the Africans. I wonder if he knew Sam and Mary back in England. Roy Johnson I would be honored. I have been involved in some kind of racial relations or black history projects almost continuously since my college days (which was a LONG time ago).

Marriage Notices From Kansas Territorial Newspapers, 1854-1861 Compiled by ALBERTA PANTLE http://members.tripod.com/~doomtroop/index.html INTRODUCTION The following list of marriages is a continuation of the vital statistics gleaned fromthe territorial newspaper collection of the Kansas State Historical Society. >From Kansas Territorial Newspapers, 1854-1861," which appeared in the August and November 1950, issues of The Kansas Historical Quarterly. The same general principles have been followed in this compilation as in the list of death notices. When a marriage was not performed in the community where the newspaper,in which the notice appeared, was published, the place of marriage is listed if known. Not all announcements included the site of the ceremony. The files of the Historical Society's territorial newspapers are remarkably complete, however in some instances there are only scattered issues. This fact and negligence in reporting marriages to the newspapers necessarily cause this list to be incomplete, but it does bring together marriage records from all parts of territorial Kansas for the first time. The recording of marriages has been required of the counties of this state since the start of county government in 1855, and many of them have such records from their beginning. One notable exception is Douglas County where records were destroyed in the Quantrill raid of August 21, 1863. Since 1913 marriages have also been recorded in the division of vital statistics of the state board of health at Topeka.

Ancestry Daily News, dated 9/17/2002 - (reprinted with prior permission of Juliana Smith, Editor of Ancestry Daily News) What is a Vestry? by Sherry Irvine, CGRS, FSA (Scot) The word 'vestry' refers to both a room in the parish church and a meeting of parish officials. It was where the minister kept his vestments and prepared for divine service. The name of the room came to signify the group of men who governed a parish because it was where they met. The name did not change even if the location did, which happened frequently particularly on cold winter nights. In this example the proprietor of the inn had recently joined the vestry. ". . . We the undersigned, being the officers of this parish who have met at the church to settle last month's accounts, having gone through part of the business do unanimously agree to adjourn this Vestry to the Bell, the inclemency of the weather making it hardly possible to transact the whole here . . ." (Vestry Minutes, Upminster, Essex, 4th February 1799, quoted in A History of Upminster and Cranham, by John Drury, 1986) Evolution of the Vestry The dissolution of the monasteries in the reign of Henry VIII left a vacuum in social assistance. Times of severe hardship towards the end of the 1500s led the government of Elizabeth I to assign to the parishes an increasing amount of secular parochial responsibility. It was easy to do because parish churches already had the authority to levy a rate for the maintenance of the church buildings and fittings. Acts of Parliament added the powers to assess and collect rates for the support of the poor and maintenance of roads within the parish. The assignment of new authority was happening at a time when the influence of the manor courts was in decline. There was overlap for a time but eventually the manor courts lost their authority, their duties going to the vestries and the courts of quarter sessions. The vestry took one of two forms, either open or select. An open vestry was comprised of all the male ratepayers, a form that worked in smaller parishes but became a problem in populated areas. Members of a select vestry might be appointed or elected, generally from the more important men of the parish In some parishes the same people served over and over again. In others there was a sort of rotation every few years and some managed to change officers yearly. It was customary for the incumbent minister to sit as chairman of the vestry. The vestry appointed the local officers, usually the following: churchwardens, sexton, parish clerk, overseers of the poor, surveyor of the highways and constable. Sometimes the minister appointed one of the churchwardens. Appointments of the overseers of the poor, surveyor of the highways and constable would be endorsed at the court of quarter sessions. Duties were onerous and it is not surprising that someone wrote a handbook, The Compleat Parish Officer, (1734 and rep. 1996 by the Wiltshire Family History Society). There are detailed descriptions for each official; a good way to catch some of the flavor of parish life. Population growth and industrialization strained the old system. In the 1800s, due to huge rises in parish poor rates, the authority of select vestries was challenged and by the end of the century parish administration was completely different. Legislation in 1834 changed the poor laws and in 1894 created a new form of local government. Records of the Vestry The vestry and its officers kept records of parish business collectively referred to as the parish chest. Vestry minutes and accounts were among these. Today those that survive are deposited in county record offices. Some have been filmed for the collections of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City and are cataloged by town or parish. The vestry was the principal authority in the parish because of its role in the appointment of other officers and its ability to make rules or policies for the entire parish. Parish officers presented their reports and accounts to the vestry for acceptance. The broad responsibilities of the vestry led to a great variety of parish information being recorded in the minutes, including permission for the minister to keep pigeons and approval for the expenditure of funds on a quart of gin for an expectant mother (see Tate, W. E., The Parish Chest, 1983). Parishioners names appear frequently in vestry minutes and accounts. The records are therefore genealogically valuable as well as a remarkable account of the social life of a parish.

I just received a URL reference from Bunny indicating Windows XP original issue may be better without the SP1. The SP1 introduces all kinds of major problems for some. (Bunny could you provide that URL to the group?) And Sally's earlier patch URL looks like the best way to go.

That fix found on grc.com is said by the same web page to be only an interim fix until the Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) becomes available from Microsoft. The XP SP1 is now available, and I would recommend updating one's XP with that rather than install the temporary non-Microsoft fix. See http://www.microsoft.com/windows/default.mspx for more info and the XP SP1 download I recommend that everyone with Windows XP go to Microsoft's update site and do the (free) updates recommended by that site.
