BENJAMIN FRANKLIN DIES: April 17, 1790 On April 17, 1790, American statesman, printer, scientist, and writer Benjamin Franklin dies in Philadelphia at age 84. Born in Boston in 1706, Franklin became at 12 years old an apprentice to his half brother James, a printer and publisher. He learned the printing trade and in 1723 went to Philadelphia to work after a dispute with his brother. After a sojourn in London, he started a printing and publishing press with a friend in 1728. In 1729, the company won a contract to publish Pennsylvania's paper currency and also began publishing the Pennsylvania Gazette, which was regarded as one of the better colonial newspapers. From 1732 to 1757, he wrote and published Poor Richard's Almanack, an instructive and humorous periodical in which Franklin coined such practical American proverbs as "God helps those who help themselves" and "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."As his own wealth and prestige grew, Franklin took on greater civic responsibilities in Philadelphia and helped establish the city's first circulating library, police force, volunteer fire company, and an academy that became the University of Pennsylvania. From 1737 to 1753, he was postmaster of Philadelphia and during this time also served as a clerk of the Pennsylvania legislature. In 1753, he became deputy postmaster general, in charge of mail in all the northern colonies.Deeply interesting in science and technology, he invented the Franklin stove, which is still manufactured today, and bifocal eyeglasses, among other practical inventions. In 1748, he turned his printing business over to his partner so he would have more time for his experiments. The phenomenon of electricity fascinated him, and in a dramatic experiment he flew a kite in a thunderstorm to prove that lightning is an electrical discharge. He later invented the lightning rod. Many terms used in discussing electricity, including positive, negative, battery, and conductor, were coined by Franklin in his scientific papers. He was the first American scientist to be highly regarded in European scientific circles.Franklin was active in colonial affairs and in 1754 proposed the union of the colonies, which was rejected by Britain. In 1757, he went to London to argue for the right to tax the massive estates of the Penn family in Pennsylvania, and in 1764 went again to ask for a new charter for Pennsylvania. He was in England when Parliament passed the Stamp Act, a taxation measure to raise revenues for a standing British army in America. His initial failure to actively oppose the controversial act drew wide criticism in the colonies, but he soon redeemed himself by stoutly defending American rights before the House of Commons. With tensions between the American colonies and Britain rising, he stayed on in London and served as agent for several colonies.In 1775, he returned to America as the American Revolution approached and was a delegate at the Continental Congress. In 1776, he helped draft the Declaration of Independence and in July signed the final document. Ironically, Franklin's illegitimate son, William Franklin, whom Franklin and his wife had raised, had at the same time emerged as a leader of the Loyalists. In 1776, Congress sent Benjamin Franklin, one of the embattled United States' most prominent statesmen, to France as a diplomat. Warmly embraced, he succeeded in 1778 in securing two treaties that provided the Americans with significant military and economic aid. In 1781, with French help, the British were defeated. With John Jay and John Adams, Franklin then negotiated the Treaty of Paris with Britain, which was signed in 1783.In 1785, Franklin returned to the United States. In his last great public service, he was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and worked hard for the document's ratification. After his death in 1790, Philadelphia gave him the largest funeral the city had ever seen. Sally Rolls Pavia sallypavia2001@yahoo.com "Those who dislike the cat . were in a former life, a rat."

Some Family Bibles show Church membership and some include family members' birthplaces. It is a good idea to ask your family members whether or not they are aware of any old Bibles that are still in the family. Years ago, many Mothers and Grandmothers kept Family Bibles, where they wrote information about Family members, such as births, christenings, marriages, deaths and burial information These Family Bibles are very valuable and when hand written as the events occurred are most usually very accurate. Many Family Bibles are in the Family for several generations and contain some information that may NOT be found at the local court house. When you find information in actual Bibles, check the publication date of the Bible. If the Bible was printed in, for example, 1900, but a birth is recorded for 1849, you know that the information about that particular birth was not written down at the time of the birth, but was written down several years later. Information recorded after the fact is not always entered correctly and needs to be considered 2nd or 3rd hand information. You will need to find other documented records to back up your findings. On the other hand, if the Bible has a printed date of 1850 and the entered Family Data is dated 1855, it may very well have been entered at the time of the event. When you cannot find family Bibles among your own family members, you can check with Churches, libraries, historical and genealogical societies in the area where the family lived. They may have or be aware of the location of local Bible records. It is always wonderful to be able to locate the Family Bible, but if you are not able to find it, look for Bible Records. When you are searching for Bible records, be sure to look under both the maiden name and married name.

This Day in History, 15 Apr 2005 1865 President Lincoln dies President Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, dies from an assassin's bullet. Shot by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theater in Washington the night before, Lincoln lived for nine hours before succumbing to the severe head wound he sustained. Lincoln's death came just after the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's army at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. Lincoln had just served the most difficult presidency in history, successfully leading the country through civil war. His job was exhausting and overwhelming at times. He had to manage a tremendous military effort, deal with diverse opinions in his own Republican party, counter his Democratic critics, maintain morale on the northern home front, and keep foreign countries such as France and Great Britain from recognizing the Confederacy. He did all of this, and changed American history when he issued the Emancipation Proclamation, converting the war goal from reunion of the nation to a crusade to end slavery. Now, the great man was dead. Secretary of War Edwin Stanton said, "Now, he belongs to the ages." Word spread quickly across the nation, stunning a people who were still celebrating the Union victory. Troops in the field wept, as did General Ulysses S. Grant, the overall Union commander. Perhaps no group was more grief stricken than the freed slaves. Although abolitionists considered Lincoln slow in moving against slavery, many freedmen saw "Father Abraham" as their savior. They faced an uncertain world, and now had lost their most powerful proponent. Lincoln's funeral was held on April 19, before a funeral train carried his body back to his hometown of Springfield, Illinois. During the two-week journey, hundreds of thousands gathered along the railroad tracks to pay their respects, and the casket was unloaded for public viewing at several stops. He and his son, Willie, who died in the White House of typhoid fever in 1862, were interred on May 4.

Bloody Queen Mary had her share of executions too. I guess they all did back then. Can you try to imagine what it was like back then?? I can not. Being a member of the court was a very risky business. If you sneezed the wrong way, and it upset the Queen or King, you could be put to death with a trumped up charge. It didnt matter that you were in Good Standing with them the day before. And the poor peasants... of which most of my family were...its a wonder any of us are here today! I have lots of family members who served time in English prisons for their Religious beliefs. Can you picture what it was like to go out on the streets lined with butchered bodies of those poor devils?? I would not have liked being in the city back then. It was a normal daily event. When was the last time any of us have ran across a dead human body hanging from a bridge or seen a head posted on the bridge by the "Law of the Land" We have to go back to our early roots for that. Its not been within our recent history here in America. Travel to third world country and you may still see this or in War it happens. Not since the days of the 1930s have we had such things here in America, have we?? Even then it was criminals who were out killing and hanging folks here. <In The reign of Henry VIII. (38 Years) It is said that no less a number than 72,000 criminals were executed. In the ten years between 1820 and 1830, there were executed in England alone 797 criminals. >

There was a judge in Germany(forgot name) who ordered in Germany over 900 executions in 5 year period of witches ages 5-90 fuzzy-brandy-butter-elf Proud member of the IBSSG --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new resources site!

From a member of the mailing list. Below are some web sites which might interest the loyalists in our group. Checked the sites about 5 minutes ago and they're all up and running. .. Sally I believe your concept of a divided church has merit. It would not be the first time such divisions had taken place; in fact, Connecticut probably owes its existence to similar confrontations in the 1640's. I have recently been looking at Darling Whelpley, a Loyalist, apparently from the Greenwich, Fairfield Co., CT area. He found it necessary to flee to Long Island in 1776. Others, most likely also from the same area, indicted with him were: Samuel Austin, Stephen Lyon, John Parot, Jehiel Partelo [Partelow], Joseph Galpin, Daniel Merritt, Daniel Carpenter and Ruth Carpenter, Solomon Ferris, William Peck, and David Washburn. The surnames, Merritt, Carpenter, Galpin, Lyon and Washburn actually point to Weschester Co., NY; specifically to Rye and North Castle; but these families did slip back and forth across the NY-CT border. Some sites which may be of interest: http://www.genealogycanada.ca/newyork/greenwich%20.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~ctfairfi/pages/probate/ctfairfi_stamprob003.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~ctfairfi/pages/greenwich/grnwich_twnlst.htm For the most part, Loyalists who went to New Brunswick used the Anglican Church, as (apart from the Roman Catholic Church, are a few Quaker settlements) that was what was usually available. Within a few decades, Baptist, Methodist and Congregational churches grew. It is hard to tell in most cases what their leanings were before 1783.

Directory of Towns, Villages and Hamlets Past and Present of Missouri Compiled by Arthur Paul Moser http://thelibrary.springfield.missouri.org/lochist/moser/index.html Example: Raytown Raytown occupies a central location in what is called the "Blue Prairie," --- being on the ridge between Big and Little Blue, eight miles from Independence and ten from Kansas City. It had a Masonic Hall, one meeting-house, one store and saddler's shop, one blacksmith shop and a doctor's office, also a post-office and a school house. (--History of Jackson County, 1881, p. 308.) The Brest Ghetto Passport Archive .. You can see the actual page where your folk might be listed. At 6:00 am on the morning of October 15th 1942, one of the non-Jewish neighbors informed the Jews of Brest that the ghetto was completely surrounded by the Nazis. Some of the Jews tried to hide in predetermined hiding places, but they were found by the soldiers and taken to the Brest train station at gun point, loaded into cattle cars and transported to the village of Bereza Kartuzka (68 miles, 114 km northeast of Brest). Upon arrival, the Jews were unloaded and marched to an area where a large trench had already been excavated. The entire group was forced to remove their clothes. They were then pushed into the trench and machine gunned by the Nazi soldiers who surrounded the trench. The action continued all day and it is estimated that 50,000 Jews were killed that day, most of them from the city of Brest. http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/brest.htm

Hi, Just joined the list and wanted to briefly introduce myself. I am not really new to genealogy, having first started this project 20 years ago in elementary school, but I recently got back into it after letting it sit idle for a long time, so I am just looking for any resources that I can find, and this seemed like a good group to join. Some of the surnames I am researching are: ALBIN, BAUMGARTNER, BURDICK, BUSS, BUSH, EBNER, ESSENWEIN, GODFREY, GWYNNE, HALLENBECK, HALSEY, KIPP, OSTRANDER, SMITH, TAYLOR, VOGEL, and WALTER. My family seems to be mostly centered around New York, although some were scattered a bit.

The following list is extracted from the publication 'Haydn's Dictionary of Dates' published in London in 1895. The name's are as published, with forenames where found. The date is in reference to the day of execution. A reason for execution is noted if known and the last place of reference is the place of the trial. Also noted are the names of the victims, where known. In The reign of Henry VIII. (38 Years) It is said that no less a number than 72,000 criminals were executed. In the ten years between 1820 and 1830, there were executed in England alone 797 criminals.The place of execution in London (formerly generally at Tyburn) was in front of Newgate from 1783 to 1868, when an act was passed directing executions to take place within the walls of the prisons. The dissection of the bodies of the executed persons was abolished in 1832. http://www.fred.net/jefalvey/execute.html Examples: NAME DATE OF REASON OF EXECUTION; EXECUTION PLACE OF TRIAL GARNETT, Henry 1606 03 May Jesuit FELTON, John 1628 28 Nov Murder of Duke of Buckingham; Tyburn DUKE of Monmouth, James 1685 15 Jul Treason; Tower Hill Sally Rolls Pavia sallypavia2001@yahoo.com "Those who dislike the cat . were in a former life, a rat."
