Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Here, Mrs. Motes has collected and transcribed a series of articles about the fishing port of Newburyport, MA, that originally appeared in the August 1959 issues of the Newburyport Daily News. These articles were originally assembled and edited by the daughters of Henry Bailey Little from his unpublished notes. Mrs. Motes has added vintage photographs of Mr. Little, historic buildings, the town's once-active commercial port and shipping industry, and more. A prominent banker, Mr. Little was well connected to New England civic life through his offices or directorships in the American Unitarian Association, First and Ocean National Bank, and the Anna Jacques hospital. Mr. Little lived long enough to record the extraordinary changes in Newburyport's business community, its Labrador fishing industry, transportation, styles of dress, modes of communication, and other historical milestones from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. The book is divided into the following chapters: Memories of Newburyport; Recollections of a Long Life; Shipping, Business, and Banking; Some Newburyport Citizens; Seafaring Men Whom I Remember; Commentaries on Henry Little; Obituary and Tributes; and various addenda. Anyone interested in the life and times of mid-19th and mid-20th century Newburyport will enjoy Mr. Little's charming collection of remembrances.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Emigration from Scotland to the Caribbean increased after 1763, with the end of the Seven Years War between Great Britain and France. Certain islands, previously French, became British and the British government promoted settlement there. Small numbers of Scots also went to the Dutch and Danish West Indies, and Britain also acquired colonies on the east coast of South America, where vast sugar plantations were developed. Scots emigrants to the Caribbean were mostly men who chose to leave their families at home, possibly due to the unhealthy climate in the West Indies. Ships voyaging between Scotland and the Caribbean illustrate trade routes from Scotland, with passengers and manufactures such as linen and metalware on the outbound voyages, and raw materials, generally cotton, tobacco, sugar, and mahogany on the return.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book identifies residents in the adjacent counties of Dundee and Angus, as well as emigrants from there, between 1800 and 1850. Dundee and Angus now form distinct Scottish administrative units but were formerly a single district known as Forfarshire. The information in this book is derived from a wide range of sources such as court records, contemporary newspapers and journals, monumental inscriptions, and documents found in archives. The entries bring together emigrants, their destinations--especially in North America, the West Indies, and Australasia--with their kin who remained in Scotland, and provide the resident's name, specific location, a date, and the source. In many cases the abstracts also identify the names of kin, occupations, and other pertinent facts.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book contains references to people of the counties of Argyll, Bute, and Dunbarton, at home and abroad, between 1800 and 1850. These counties lie roughly north-west of Glasgow from the Firth of Clyde to the Firth of Lorne, together with Mull and some smaller islands. The major families or clans found in this region were the Campbells, McDonalds, McLeans, MacAulays, Galbraiths, McLachlans, Malcolms, McMillans, McEwans, McDougalls, McQuarries, McKinnons, McGregors, McIntyres, McFarlanes, Colquhouns, Lamonts, and Buchanans. The early nineteenth century was a period of restructuring and development resulting from the Agricultural Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. Small farms were formed into larger, more efficient, units which created a labour surplus. Some of the displaced persons opted the emigrate to the colonies or the United States while other moved to the burgeoning factory towns and collieries of the nearby industrial districts. The rise in transatlantic trade in the eighteenth century, furthermore, generated industrial development in Scotland, especially in the vicinity of Glasgow. Overall there was an expansion of burghs functioning as market and administrative centres. This book, among other things, identifies many of the burgesses of the burghs of Dunbarton and Inveraray. Most of the nearly 2,000 Scots and their kinsmen identified here were recorded in contemporary sources, such as court records, newspapers, journals, and monumental inscriptions. Most entries bring together emigrants, their places of origin and destination, especially in North America and Australasia, with their kin who remained in Scotland.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The book contains references to people from Inverness-shire, at home and abroad, between 1800 and 1850. Inverness-shire itself was, and continues to be a bastion of Gaeldom, and the home of several important clans, such as the McKenzies, the Frasers, the Grants, the McIntoshes, the McPhersons, the McGillivrays, the McBeans, the McQueens, the Davidsons, the Camerons, and other members of Clan Chattan. The burgh of Inverness was the administrative and commercial centre for the county of Inverness-shire; it was, and is, a major route centre for road and rail traffic. The population of the burgh was around 10,000 people in 1800 and rose to around 13,000 by mid-century. The information herein is derived from a wide range of sources such as court records, contemporary newspapers and journals, monumental inscriptions, and documents found in archives. Three published sources consulted are worthy of special mention: the Statistical Report of Scotland, compiled between 1791 and 1799; the New Statistical Report, researched between 1832 and 1845; and the publications of the Gaelic Society of Inverness. The entries in this volume bring together emigrants, their destinations-- especially in North America, the West Indies, and Australasia-- with their kin who remained in Scotland, and provide the resident's name, specific location, a date, and the source. In many cases the abstracts also identify the names of kin, occupations, and other pertinent facts.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - From the medieval period until the Victorian era, Aberdeen was comprised of two separate burghs, Old Aberdeen and New Aberdeen. Old Aberdeen was centered on St. Machar's Cathedral when King David I established a new bishopric there around 1125. New Aberdeen, a burgh since 1214, was an important regional market town and port. The two burghs in Aberdeen each had their own burgh council, burgess roll, court, college, and other institutions that maintained their own records. The two burghs merged in the mid-19th century to establish a unified city. Aberdeen became the major city in north-east Scotland, with its economy based on industries such as shipbuilding, whaling, herring fishing, woolens such as stocking-making, and papermaking.This book contains references to people from Aberdeen at home and abroad between 1800 and 1850. The entries bring together emigrants, their destinations, especially in North America, the West Indies, and Australasia, with their kin who remained in Scotland. The information is derived from a wide range of sources such as court records, contemporary newspapers and journals, monumental inscriptions, and documents found in archives. The Statistical Report of Scotland (OSA), compiled between 1791 and 1799, and the New Statistical Report, conducted between 1832 and 1845, are especially helpful for understanding the rapid changes in Scottish society brought about by the agricultural and industrial revolutions during this period. This work should enable researchers with roots in Aberdeen to put their family into a historical context.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Many Irish merchants settled in the Low Countries, attracted by the major trade markets there for goods and raw materials from Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Irish scholars were attracted to the Low Countries universities, such as Leiden. But most of the Irish migrants in Flanders or elsewhere in the Netherlands arrived as soldiers, some in Spanish service, others in English or Dutch service. King Charles II took refuge in the Netherlands after being defeated at the Siege of Worcester in 1651. In a reverse migration pattern, after his restoration to the thrones of England and Ireland in 1660, he encouraged the settlement of Protestants from the Netherlands and Flanders, as well as French Huguenots in Ireland.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Scotland and Flanders had a long trading and settlement connection from the 11th to the 19th centuries through textiles, wool, coal, and fish.

By the early 19th century, Scottish soldiers of fortune settled in the Low Countries and fought with or against the Spanish and the French.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book identifies people from the old counties of Nairnshire, Morayshire, Banffshire, Aberdeenshire, and Kincardineshire for the period 1800 to 1850. The information derives from a wide range of contemporary sources such as court records, contemporary newspapers and journals, monumental inscriptions, and documents found in archives. The main clans or families found in this region were Arbuthnott, Barclay, Brodie, Burnett, Douglas, Dunbar, Farquharson, Forbes, Fraser, Gordon, Grant, Hays, Innes, Irvine, Keith, Leslie, Ogilvie, Rose, and Skene. The society and economy of North East Scotland was rural and depended on industries such as farming, fishing, whaling, distilling, quarrying, and forestry. The most important burgh in this region was, and is, Aberdeen, which is covered in Mr. Dobson's book, The People of Aberdeen at Home and Abroad, 1800-1850. The North East population were largely Presbyterian, with a significant Episcopalian presence and a few Roman Catholic enclaves. The best sources for historical context are the Old Statistical Reports of the 1790s and the New Statistical Reports compiled between 1832 and 1845. These Reports were produced by parish ministers and covered a wide range of subjects such as geography, education, history, the economy, agriculture, shipping, population, and religion. They are available on the website of the National Library of Scotland.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This guidebook describes the types of Quaker records that are available, the locations of the records, and the proper use of those records. It guides the researcher through the pyramidal ''meeting'' structure to the records of birth, marriage, death, disownment, and removal. The work begins with a history of the Religious Society of Friends' movement and a discussion of its organization and structure, particularly as it affects genealogical research. Later chapters describe Quaker migrations to and within America, the special types of records available for research, and reliable methods for locating and using those records. The Appendices include a bibliography, maps of selected meeting locations, and a glossary of terms peculiar to the Religious Society of Friends. This second edition is a welcome update to this valuable resource. While the background, organization, migration patterns, meeting records, and the methodological problems associated with the history and records of the Religious Society of Friends remain the same, since the book's first publication in 1986 the digitization of records and the advent of the Internet have made Quaker resources far more widely available. Many Quaker organizations have a current website that lists their holdings, contact information, and maybe digitized records or PDF transcripts. Accordingly, this second edition includes a new section devoted to websites, as well as a new bibliography of online resources. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This volume attempts to identify many of the Irish soldiers in the British colonies in North America and the Caribbean from around 1650 until 1825. Before 1800 Ireland was garrisoned mainly by British regiments, through new regiments were raised in Ireland, such as the Royal Regiment of Foot of Ireland and the Inniskilling Regiment.Irish settlers in colonial America were recruited into local militias, such as the Virginia Regimnet or the Montserrat Militia, which are identified in this book. During the American Revolution, people of Irish origin could be found in both Loyalist and Patriot units, including the 'Volunteers of Ireland'. The Loyalist Claims reports identify Irish fighting men in the Revolution.Between 1789 and 1815 Britain was at war with Napoleon's France, necessitating an expansion of the British Army. In the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo the British government settled substantial numbers of demobilized soldiers, including Irishmen, in Canada. From about 1780 onwards the British regiments enlisted at least one-third of their recruits in Ireland; this increased to about 40% by the early 19th century owing to demand from the British Army and the East India Company. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Sottish soldiers could be found in the Americas during the 17th century, some in the service of England, others it the service of the Netherlands or other European powers. In the mid-18th century, the British government raised Highland regiments to fight in America during the Seven Years War (1756-1763), known in America as the French and Indian War. The allocation of land to former military personnel in the aftermath of that war was a major incentive to settle.With the outbreak of the American Revolution, former soldiers were recalled for duty in Loyalist regiments by the British government. After the war, large numbers of these soldiers were settled in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec. Scottish soldiers, thus, played an important role in settling the British colonies in the Americas.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Grampian Highlands lie in north-east Scotland and stretch from Aberdeenshire, through Kincardineshire, the Braes of Angus, to eastern Perthshire. In the seventeenth century the majority of the population were Gaelic speaking. The region sported only a handful of small burghs, such as Kincardine O'Neill or Fettercairn, with mot people dispersed throughout the region, mainly in fermtouns or isolated crofts, and employed in agriculture, notably cattle rearing.The Grampian Highlands were mostly controlled by landowners such as the Earl of Aboyne or the Earl of Airlie, or heads of families or clans such as Forbes, Gordon, Farquharson, Burnett, Irvine, Douglas, Lindsay, Carnegie, Ogilvie, Spalding, Stewart, and Robertson. These families were generally Royalist and supporters of the House of Stuart, notably in the Jacobite Wars of 1689, 1715, and 1745.Most seventeenth-century Highlanders, however, were Protestants (Presbyterian and Episcopalian), with a few Roman Catholics in remote glens, such as around Braemar. Emigration from the Grampian Highlands did not occur until the early eighteenth century, apart from prisoners of war banished to the Plantations.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An estimated 350,000 Catholic women religious (nuns and sisters) professed their vows to various religious orders in the United States between 1790 and 1900.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Wars of the Three Kingdoms occurred from 1638 until 1652 between Scotland, England, and Ireland. This book attempts to identify the Scottish soldiers captured in battle and sent in chains to labor in English plantations in America.The Wars of the Three Kingdoms began in 1638 when King Charles I attempted to impose Anglicanism on a mainly Presbyterian Scotland. Subsequently, King Charles increasingly lost support in England where his policies (e.g., suspending the English Parliament, imposing a ship-tax, and an apparent move toward Roman Catholicism) contributed to the English Civil War in 1642 and an Irish revolt in 1641. Following the English Civil War, Oliver Cromwell used the prisoners of war to populate the recently acquired colony of Jamaica, as well as existing colonies like, Barbados, Montserrat, Nevis, and Bermuda. Some Scots prisoners were sent to the Balkans to resist the Turks; others to France and Ireland; and some were shipped to Virginia and New England.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Central Scotland includes the counties of Stirlingshire and neighboring Clackmannanshire, which stretch from Loch Lomond and the Trossachs to the upper reaches of the River Forth. The region is partly in the Highlands and partly in the Lowlands. Most of the early emigration from Central Scotland was by individuals or family groups, but in 1773 the Arnprior Emigration Society formed by farmers in west Stirlingshire organized an emigration to Vermont. In the early 19th century three other emigration societies in Stirlingshire'''Alloa in 1817, Balfron in 1821, and Deanston in 1821'''organized groups of emigrants bound to Upper Canada. The entries in this work, to some extent, enable family historians in the Americas, Australasia, and other locations to link with their kin who remained in Scotland. The Statistical Account of Scotland (OSA), compiled between 1791 and 1799, and the New Statistical Account of Scotland (NSA), compiled between 1832 and 1845, are especially helpful for understanding Scottish society of the period. These can be consulted in major libraries, such as the National Library of Scotland, or online. In the late 18th century, the regional economy was based on farming, textiles, and mining. The existence of iron and coal enabled industrialization to occur relatively early. Coalmining rapidly expanded due to domestic demand and industrial expansion, especially the adoption of the Bolton and Watt steam engines in Scottish textile mills. Supplies of flax were imported from the Baltic, and the linen manufactured became an important export for Central Scotland. The nearly simultaneous Agricultural Revolution caused the merging of small farms, creating a rural labor surplus that either moved to the burgeoning factory towns in the Lowlands or emigrated.…
