Hi Susan, I'm interested in several surnames listed e.g. Webb, Wax, Hicks, McNutts , and others. Are all the listed surnames in the gedcom and where do you go to get the GEDCOM? If you could dl it to me I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Roy/Ala

I found a way to double check my work, thus finding a few errors. Again, I apologies for these errors. I have learned a lot about making databases these last two days. I have a new thankfulness for those that do this for all of us. What a tremendous job it is. If you see surnames you are interested in, I am happy to do look ups and send the gedcom I have created based on William C. Dougherty's book, published in 1930. Someone asked the dates it covered. There aren't a lot of dates in the book. It starts with the birth of James Dougherty (1771) and more or less ends about 1928 with the death of William C. Dougherty. The book mostly covers children and spouse, without birth dates or marriage dates, although there are a few.

As I am taking the information from this book and entering it into my FTM, with the intent of sharing it with anyone interested, I am wondering if I am breaking any laws. The book was found at Heritage Quest through the Godfrey Library online. It was published after the author's death, in 1930. I, of course, have no intention of profiting from the sharing of the gedcom, I just find it easier to make the connections in the family than the way it is written in the book. Is it illegal for me to copy the 50 page book and share it or the gedcom based on the book? Thanks for all input. Susan/CA

Essentially a cheap dry sherry: (copped from a website on Pepys' diary) ******* Definition from 1911 Enclyclopedia site A Spanish wine, which was of a strong, rough, dry kind (in Fr. vin sec, whence the name), and therefore usually sweetened and mixed with spice and mulled or burnt. It became a common name for all the stronger white wines of the South. ******* South meaning south of Spain.....not particularly well known these days, but quite popular in England in the time of Elizabeth and up to at least 1800. Not only is it referred to in Pepys' diary, but readers of Shakespeare will recognize it as Falstaff's beverage of choice. --pig On 12/31/03 4:47 PM, DonnyPerry@aol.com shared this thought: > Hey you all ... what is the "sack" mentioned in the recipe below?

I found this online, and found it very informative. My thanks to this group for posting this in an effort to learn about our forefathers and foremothers. This information was collected as a part of the research done by the 25th Continental Regiment, a living history group. The regiment re-creates an American unit from 1776 that fought in the American Revolution. HOW THE SOLDIERS COOKED: We drew a day's ration of beef and flour, what was called a pound of each. The flour, perhaps, was not far from its nominal weight, but the beef was, as it always was in such cases, and indeed in all others in the army, not more than three fourths of a pound, and that, at the best, half bone. And how was it cooked? Why as it usually was when we had no cooking utensils with us, - that is, the flour was laid upon a flat stone and scorched on one side, while the beef was broiling on a stick in the fire. This was the common way of cookery when on the marches, and we could get anything to cook, and this was the mode at the time mentioned. After I had satisfied my hunger, I lay down upon the ground and slept... Private Joseph Plumb Martin, 1777 We arrived at Valley Forge in the evening ... I lay here two nights and one day and had not a morsel of anything to eat all the time, save half of a small pumpkin, which I cooked by placing it upon a rock, the skin side uppermost, and making a fire upon it. Private Joseph Plumb Martin, 1777 F[riday] 16 to T[hursday] 29. very Cold indeed / we git sum wheat that is [in] bags below ware we go after wood and burn it wich makith very good Coffe and selling sum of our thing we git sum money & so we have once in a while Sum Caffe. Private Jeremiah Greenman, February, 1776 [At the siege of Yorktown, Sarah Osborne] took her stand just back of the American tents, say about a mile from the town, and busied herself washing, mending, and cooking for the soldiers, in which she was assisted by the other females ... cooked and carried in beef, and bread, and coffee (in a gallon pot) to the soldiers in the entrenchment. Sarah Osborne, 1781 ************* RECIPES OF THE 18th CENTURY AND THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR PERIOD: At home, families in America cooked following the recipes handed down to them, or from English recipe books. The first American cookbook was not published until 1796, but English cookbooks had been re-printed in America before then. Breakfast Recipes: Indian Slapjacks One quart of milk, 1 pint of indian [corn] meal, 4 eggs, 4 spoons of flour, little salt, beat together, baked on griddles, or fry in a dry pan, or baked in a pan which has been rub'd with suet, lard or butter. Amelia Simmons, 1796 To make fried Toasts Chip a manchet [ a round loaf of fine bread] very well, and cut it roundways into toasts; then take cream and eight eggs, season'd with sack, sugar, and nutmeg; and let these toasts steep in it about an hour; then fry them in sweet butter, serve them up with plain melted butter, or with butter, sack and sugar, as you please. Eliza Smith, 1758 Meat Recipes: To broil Stakes When you have a very clear brisk fire, make your gridiron very clean, put some hot coals from the fire into a chafing dish, and place a dish over them, in order to receive your stakes when ready; take rump-stakes, which should be about half an inch thick; after you have thrown over them a little pepper and salt, place them on the gridiron, and do not turn them till that side be done; when you have turned them you will soon perceive a fine gravy laying on the upper part of the stake, which you must carefully preserve by taking the when ready warily from your gridiron, and placing them on the dish: Then covering the dish, send them hot to the table with the cover on. Some before they take the stake from the gridiron, cut into the dish a shalot or two, or a fine onion, and a little vinegar. Eliza Smith, 1758 To mumble Rabbits and Chickens Put into the bellies of your rabbits, or chickens, some parsley, an onion, and the liver; set it over the fire in the stew-pan with as much water mixed with a little salt as will cover them; when they are half boiled take them out, and shred the parsley, liver, and onion; tear the flesh from the bones of the rabbit in small flakes, and put it into the stew-pot again with a very little of the liquor it was boiled in, a pint of white-wine, some gravy, half a pound or more of butter, some grated nutmeg; when tis enough, shake in a little flour, and thicken it with butter. Serve it on snippets [pieces of toasted bread]. Eliza Smith, 1758 To stew a Rump of Beef Season your rump of beef with two nutmegs, some pepper and salt, and lay the fat side downward in your stew-pan; put to it a quarter of a pint of vinegar, a pint of claret, three pints of water, three whole onions stuck with a few cloves, and a bunch of sweet-herbs; cover it close, and let it stew over a gentle fire four or five hours; scum off the fat from the liquor. Lay your meat on sippets, and pour your liquor over it. Garnish your dish with scalded greens. Eliza Smith, 1758 Vegtable Recipes: To stew Cucumbers Pare twelve cucumbers, slice them as for eating, put them to drain, and lay them in a coarse cloth until they are dry; flour them, and fry them brown in butter; then put in some gravy, a little claret, some pepper, cloves, mace, and let them stew a little; them roll a bit of butter in flour, and toss them up; put them under mutton or lamb roasted. Eliza Smith, 1758 To dress Carrots. Scrape them very clean, and when the water boils, put them into your pot or sauce-pan; if they are young spring carrots, they will be boiled in a half an hour, but if large they will require an hour. Take them out, slice them into a plate, and pour over them melted butter. Eliza Smith, 1758 To dress Potatoes Put your potatoes into the sauce-pan with a proper quantity of water; and when they are enough, which may be known by their skins beginning to crack, drain al the water from them, and let them stand close covered up for two or three minutes; then peel them, plate them in a plate, and pour over them a proper quantity of melted butter: Or after you have peeled them, lay them on a gridiron, and, when they are of a fine brown, send them to table. Or you may cut them into slices, fry them in butter,and season them with pepper and salt. Eliza Smith, 1758 Dessert Recipes: Plain Cake. Three quarters of a pound of sugar, 1 pound of butter, and 6 eggs work'd into 1 pound of flour. [Bake in a loaf pan at 325 degrees F. for 75-80 minutes.] Amelia Simmons, 1796 A Nice Indian Pudding. No. 1. 3 pints scalded milk, 7 spoons fine Indian meal, stir well together while hot, let stand till cooled; add 7 eggs, half a pound of raisins, 4 ounces butter, spice and sugar, bake one and half hour. No. 2. 3 pints scalded milk to one pint meal salted; cool, add 2 eggs, 4 ounces butter, sugar or molasses and spice q.s. [quantum sufficit - as much as suffices] it will require two and half hours baking. Amelia Simmons, 1796 Apple Pastries to fry. Pare and quarter apples, and boil them in sugar and water, and a stick of cinnamon, and when tender, put in a little white wine, the juice of a lemon, a piece of fresh butter, and a little ambergrease or orange-flower water; stir all together, and when it is cold put it in a puff-paste and fry them. Eliza Smith, 1758 Puff Paste for Tarts. No. 5. One pound flour, three fourths of a pound of butter, beat well. Amelia Simmons, 1796 http://members.aol.com/Srlohnes/recipe.html Happy Holidays!

My thanks to this group for posting this in an effort to learn about our forefathers and foremothers. I hope you learn as much from this information that has been so generously shared by the living history group mentioned, as I have. This information was collected as a part of the research done by the 25th Continental Regiment, a living history group. The regiment re-creates an American unit from 1776 that fought in the American Revolution. THE ISSUE RATION approved by the Continental Congress appears generous. The "General Orders" issued by General George Washington state what was supposed to be issued to the Continental soldier. Subsequent orders and journal entries indicate what was actually received as time went on. In general, the soldiers' diet appears monotonous. Their diet does not appear to meet today's dietary guidelines as depicted in a comparison of the modern "food pyramid": By order of his Excellency General Washington, a Board of General Officers sat yesterday in Cambridge, and unanimously recommended the following Rations to be delivered in the manner hereby directed - Viz: Corn'd Beef and Pork, four days in a week. Salt Fish one day, and fresh Beef two days. As Milk cannot be procured during the Winter Season, the Men are to have one pound and a half of Beef, or eighteen Ounces of Pork pr. day. Half pint of Rice, or pint of Indian Meal pr Week - One Quart of Spruce Beer pr day, or nine Gallons of Molasses to one hundred Men pr week. Six pounds of Candles to one hundred Men pr week, for guards. Six Ounces of Butter, or nine Ounces of Hogs-Lard pr week. Three pints of Pease, or Beans pr man pr week, or Vegetables equivalent, allowing Six Shillings pr Bushel for Beans, or Pease - two and eight pence pr Bushel for Onions - One and four pence pr Bushel for Potatoes and Turnips - One pound of Flour pr man each day - Hard Bread to be dealt out one day in a week, in lieu of Flour.

It having been represented to the General that many regiments would at this season choose to lesson their ration of meat and supply it with vegetables if they could be permitted, is concerned for the health of the troops, and desires to gratify them in every reasonable request, induces him to direct that Cols. of such regiments as choose to adopt that plan signify to the Commy. Gen. and in two days afterwards the Quartermasters of such regiments be allowed to draw one quarter part of the usual rations in money to be laid out in vegetables. Orderly Book, General Orders Martin's Regiment - New Jersey Militia, July 22, 1776. ************* The PURCHASE of liquor from suttlers (people who traveled with the army to sell liquor to the soldeirs) and food from markets established in camp or nearby, supplemented the issue diet. Fruits and vegetables as well as liquor were purchased: Pine apples as large as a quart Mug, for 6d [d = penny, s= shilling] each. ... A vessel came in on the 19th loaded with the above. She brought 300 dozen of Pine apples - I went on board her this morning (23d) and chose two out of several Cartloads, for which I gave only 1s/ 5 1/2d - The most beautiful fruit I ever saw, and in flavour much superior to any in England.

Hi all, Am wondering if anyone has the first and second volume of this publication, that would please do a look up for me. I am researching the Stanley family and am stuck. All I have is a newspaper clipping of the obituary and the death certificate, with a little bit of information between the two. Looking for a connection to and or information on Clabe Stanley and his brother Flenn Stanley. Would like to find out who their parents were. Clabe was born in Scott County, Virginia on May 15, 1865. Clabe's first name may have been Henry don't know this to be a sure thing or not. I've gone through the 1880 census and have not been able to locate them. I know nothing of Flenn outside of his name and relationship to Clabe. Thank you, Deborah

Would some one please look-up the marriage of THOMAS W. RUTH and NANCY DEZARN?. The marriage was abt 1860 in Scott County. I appreciate any and all help. Thanks ever so much. Billy Pierce

Hello Melissa, I don't have my copy of Vol. III, yet, so I don't know if Browder is one of the families in the book. If someone on the list can be of help to Melissa, please join in. I've had wonderful folks on the list pass along good information, useful to me, so I answered you here. Hope you find the same for your Browder family. Were your Browders ever in Hiram, Harlan Co. KY? I remember a simular name from there in 1940-41. I was quiet young. : ) I know how hard it can be sometimes. My Mama's father died when she was 2, so we had a lot of digging to do, as I didn't listen enough, when I was younger. This book is one of the projects of the Scott county Retired Teachers Association. A treasure of information on lots of families & interesting history of the area. Below is the address for ordering. Good luck to you & I'll keep an eye out.

Greetings fellow researchers, For many years I have shared my genealogical research with the folks on the COWAN, WIGTON-WALKER, and SCOTCH-IRISH rootsweb lists.   The trail leads from Sterling, in Scotland, to Londonderry-Donegal in Ulster, to   Pennsylvania, the valley of Virginia, east Tennessee and points west.   If your ancestors followed a similar path then some of these documents might be of interest.   I have searched for rare, out of print source materials as both a hobby and an obsession and have offered to make copies for people from time to time.   Because of a busy schedule I will only be able to do so once a year. I have added two new items since last time and they are described with the others below beginning with the most recent history first: Castle's Woods:   Frontier Virginia Settlement, 1769-1799, a thesis presented to the Faculty of the Department   of History, East Tennessee State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts, by James W. Hagy, 1966, 150 pages.      This covers the families who settled in Russell and Scott counties, Virginia when it was considered the frontier.   Contains information on specific families as well as the farmers, speculators, artisans, and preachers who resided there.   Lots on the Indian battles that were a daily feature of life on the frontier. Tthe Tinkling Spring:   Headwater of Freedom, A Study of the Church and Her People, 1732-1952, by Howard McKnight Wilson, 1954, Fisherville, Virginia, 542 pages.       The BEST source of information on the Scotch-Irish of Augusta/Rockbridge Counties in Virginia.   Includes the Baptismal Records of the Rev. Craig.   In-depth study of the early families of the Shenandoah Valley. Rockbridge County, Virginia Notebook, Compiled from articles by Dr. George W. Diehl as published in the News-Gazette, Lexington, Virginia.   Compiled by A. Maxim Coppage, McDowell Publications, 1982, 242 pages.       "In many instances information may be found showing where families originated in Scotland or Ireland, the places lived before settling in Rockbridge County, Virginia area and relationships between the various clans or as Mr. Diehl so aptly named this phase of pioneering, "A ROCKBRIDGE SEED-BOX" This document is almost 100% pure family history and genealogy. The Rev. Samuel Houston, V.D.M., by George West Diehl, 1970, McClure Publishing Co. 125 pages     History of the early Virginia Presbyterians through the life of the Rev. Samuel Houston, kin to Sam Houston of Texas fame. A Tribute to the Principles, Virtues, Habits and Public Usefulness of the Irish and Scotch Early Settlers of Pennsylvania, Chambersburg, Pa. Printed by M. Kiefer & Co. 1856, 171 pages.       From the preface the following:   "The writer of the Tribute contained in this work, had long desired to see from the Historical publications in Pennsylvania, a vindication of the character and principles of the Irish and Scotch early settlers of this great state and their descendants against reproach, as well as aspersion, cast upon them in some modern publications having pretensions to Historical accuracy... The Scotch-Irish in the Colonies:   1750-1790:   A Thesis Presented for the Degree of Master of Arts, by Kathryn R. Aiken, A.B., The Ohio State University, 1933, 91 pages      Chapters include:   By way of Introduction, Early Settlements, Daily Life on the Frontier, Educational and Religious Activities, Military Pursuits, Political Participation and Conclusion.   Like Hagy's Castle Woods thesis it has a wonderful bibliography, the most important part of any research document. The Laggan and its Presbyterianism and In the Days of the Laggan Presbyter y, 1905, 1908, by the Rev. Alexander Lecky, B.A., member of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Belfast, Davidson and McCormack, 54 Kings St.   211 pages       On our recent trip to Donegal we met J.B. Shannon, age 90, who assisted in the 1975 reprinting of this book.   He is the last living person who had anything to do with these books and he says they are still the BEST source for Ulster Presbyterian research.   From Lecky the following:   "The lists of names of former generations of Lagganeers, and their places of abode, that are given in the Appendixes, and which NEVER before appeared in print, whilst they may of necessity prove dull reading to those who have no acquaintance with the locality, will not, I hope, be altogether uninteresting to those who bear the same name, or live in the same places.... A History of the Siege of Londonderry and Defense of Enniskellen in 1688 and 1689, with Historical Poetry and Biographical notes, by the Rev. John Graham, M.A. Rector of Magilligan in the Diocese of Derry.   Includes the Battles of the Boyne, Athlone, and Aughrim and the siege and Capitulation of Limmerick by Lord McCaulay, Toronto, 1869       The historical poems are family genealogies about those who were at Derry and where they came from.   Along with "Fighters of Derry" these two sources contain more actual genealogical information than any others I have seen. Fighters of Derry, Their Deeds and Descendants, being a Chronicle of Events in Ireland during the Revolutionary period, 1688-1691, by William Young, Eyre and Spottiswoode, London, 350 pages.       One of the most difficult sources to locate. (WorldCat Inter-Library lists seven known copies)   Months worth of reading and packed with great genealogy.   Contains the following biographical sketches:       1.   The leaders of the County Associations who, with their levies, took part in the preliminary operations and contributed much of the man power for the Defence.     2.    The Apprentice Boys and those responsible for shutting the gates on the 8th Dec. 1688.     3.    The actual Defenders during the 105 day siege ((over 12000 genealogical sketches)     4.    Those engaged in the relief of the city. Three Hundred Years in Innishowen, Being More Particularly an Account of the Family of Young of Culdaff with Short Accounts of Many Other Families Connected with Them, by Amy Young, The Linenhall Press, Belfast, 1929, 311 pages       Some of the names included are Young, Hart, Harvey, Cary, Vaughan, McLaughlin, Skipton, Richardson, Knox, Ussher, Smith, Nesbitt, Chichester, Ball, Lawrence, Crofton, Boyd, Stuart and many others. The Laggan and its People, by S.M. Campbell, privately printed.         Ms. Campbell lived on the next farm over from my friend James Fleming in St. Johnston, Donegal.   A look at the history of the Laggan (Presbyterian Derry/Donegal) through the eyes of a local historian.   Draws on local lore, Abercorn papers, records from PRONI. Well there you have it.   The best documents I have found during my ten years of research.   If you are interested in obtaining any of the above items please contact me privately for details.   I do charge to recover copying and postage costs which is permissible under rootsweb policy. Regards, Robert Cowan 525 Harrogate Rd. Matthews, North Carolina 28105

Greetings, So many on this list have again shown interest in this collection of books. For those unfamiliar with them I will attempt to give a brief overview. "Scott County, Virginia and Its People" is now a three volume collection of local history and a compilation of family history stories and photos that have been submitted by people like you and I. They have general guidelines for submitting your stories - the biggest guideline is that you can show your ancestors were here. These books are of tremendous help to us as researcher - it can put us in touch with others working on the same family lines as well as offer us insight to work we've already compiled. I have personally been able to discover new family and take one of my lines back two more generations than I had. I keep in touch with Wanda here and there and have recently queried her on the expected date of release for volume three - having seen such interest on this list. I just received this note from Wanda Bledsoe of the Scott County Retired Teacher's Association (SCRTA). She asked that I share the information with this list. If you have any questions, please reply to Wanda. I have enclosed her e-mail addy in the message for your convenience. I also dug through the archives and am posting the address for any orders. (They can be made out to Beth Culbertson or the SCRTA.) Please note that I am not in any way benefiting from the sale of these books in any way. The profits go to their scholarship fund. I am sharing this information soley for the benefit of passing on resource information found valuable to myself and hopefully others. Enjoy, Maria In a message dated November 24, 2003: Maria, Hello to you - long time not hearing from you. Vol 3 of our history book is promised by mid-Dec. The SCRTA also has a good cookbook for sale. It has 800 plus recipes and some pictures of our older retirees (80 plus years old) - several have now deceased. The money from the sale goes to our scholarship fund. Books are $15 plus $4 shipping ($19 total). Could you post this on the VASCOTT web for me? I need to learn how so I don't always have to depend on you. But you have been a real help to us and I thank you. Hope this will be a season of thanksgiving even when you have had so many losses to deal with.
