Lonny, in the Naval Sense it is Yeoman Jim

I have also read that a "Gentleman" was one who was weathy enough to have hired help. Therefore, he did not have to do any manual labor. This separated him from the Yoman class. Did I spell that right? It just does't look right to me. What do I know? I'm a mathematician and can't spell worth a darn. Please, don't bust my chops on that one. :-) Lonny > > "Gentleman" in the general since meant the character was of good > standing, a land owner thus also a tax payer, a respected member of the > community. >

Lindsay C. Johnson , b. Louisa Co., 1859. Father, R. Johnson. Mother, L. Johnson. Was a miner, living in Alleghany Co., at the age of 24 yrs. Married Sarah F. (Frances) Hinkle, age 20. She was born and living in Rockbridge Co. This is all I have at the present, other than they moved to Carlisle, Fayette Co., WV. He was killed in a mine explosion in 1915. Sarah d. in 1922. They were my great-grandparents. I think their were some Johnson relatives in Alleghany or Rockbridge, as were listed in census. Also Johnsons in Fayette Co., that were miners. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks [email protected] Sue _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com

This following definition is taken from a book titled "What did they mean by this", a dictionary of historical terms for Genealogists. Gentleman, gentlewoman: a person of affluence and gentility, or born to those of high station in the community, usually with a greater than average education, the so-called gentle-born, e.g., "In the 18th century, to be called a gentleman or gentlewoman was a great compliment". Jim Gray

"Gentleman" in the general since meant the character was of good standing, a land owner thus also a tax payer, a respected member of the community. James F. Carver 610 Gay Street, Box 214 Portsmouth, Ohio 45662-0214 e-mail: [email protected]

In Ontario records "Gentleman" meant someone who was retired - could have been a farmer or large landowner. -----Original Message----- From: James Carver <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: July 10, 1999 8:09 AM Subject: Re: [VAALBEMA-L] term of "Gentleman" in old documents "Gentleman" in the general since meant the character was of good standing, a land owner thus also a tax payer, a respected member of the community.

Hi. I believe that the term "Gentleman" referred to a person of means, i.e., a property owner. I also believe this was an English term. For example, on the list of original settlers in Jamestown in 1607, the settlers were either referred to as "Gentleman" or "laborer". Hope this helps. Connie

Does anyone know the meaning of the term Gentleman in court records of the 18th century? ?

No not in my files good luck NFJ

I have the parents of Mary NETHERLAND to be John NETHERLAND b. 1685, m. Sarah NETHERLIN d. 1745. And, I have the father of John NETHERLAND to be Robert NETHERLAND b. Abt. 1656, d. Bef. 1704. Robert's parents were Robert Sr NETHERLAND and Frances WARD. That's all that I know about this NETHERLAND line. None of this is documented. I obtained the info from another NETHERLAND family researcher. My ancestor is Frances HARRIS, daughter of William HARRIS, Jr. and Elizabeth WAGSTAFF. William HARRIS, Jr. is the son of William HARRIS and Mary NETHERLAND. Frances HARRIS b. Abt. 1773, Albemarle County, Virginia, d. December 21, 1828, Albemarle County, Virginia, m. Lewis NICHOLAS b. 1766, Williamsburg, Virginia, d. January 30, 1840, Albemarle County, Virginia. This information is documented in the NSDAR library in Washington, D.C. William HARRIS, Jr. is listed as a patriot for providing 312 lbs of beef. Lewis NICHOLAS's father, Robert Carter NICHOLAS, is listed as a patriot in the NSDAR for being a Member of the House of Burgess, the first Treasurer of Virginia, and a member of the Correspondence Committee. His Revolutionary War claim-to-fame is his request for a day of prayer in the House of Burgess for the colonists of Boston when the Boston Harbor was blockaded by the Brittish. Thomas JEFFERSON approached Robert Carter NICHOLAS and asked him to request a day of prayer. Since Robert Carter NICHOLAS was a moderate and liked by all, Jefferson felt that a request from NICHOLAS would be accepted by all without a hesitation. And, so it was. Please contact me if you have HARRIS or NICHOLAS family info to exchange or wish more information about the records available in the NSDAR library. Lonny J.

Is there a Leonard Hill with a daughter Jean who married Bartholomew Clarke in your files? Hoping to make a connection, Carol May
