A New York Times article on the divorce of Orris McLellan and Amber Winter, 25 Feb. 1900
This is a reprint of an article originally published between 1890 and 1895 describing the McLellan shipyards run by the McLellans on the south bank of the Mississippi in New Orleans. Pictured are William H.P. McLellan (d. 1895) and two of his sons, Alden and Orris. "Azeal" in the body of the article must mean "Asahel," the other living brother. This is taken from "Old Algiers" by Richard Remy Dixon, page 57.

The areas that are now northern Delaware and south-eastern Pennsylvania were not distinguished from each other in the 1682 land grant to William Penn. Maps at the time show one geographical area divided by the Susquehanna, Schuykill, and Delaware rivers (with the Potomac farther west, and the Hudson farther east). Separate sets of representatives for the states began to meet in 1704, in Philadelphia and New Castle, though one Governor remained for both, and pre-Revolutionary Delaware remained under the political sway of its more powerful and populous northern neighbor.

The most important Friends community in Maryland to donate members to this site was the West River Meeting, which was consolidated if not founded by George Fox himself, the founder of the Society of Friends, when he visited the colonies on a trip in 1672. Friends had been in Maryland before this, however; Elizabeth Harris, a very early Quaker missionary, had arrived in Anne Arundel County in 1656 to preach.

This is the entire cemetery. It is on private land, sitting immediately on Rt. 875 on the Mason Co. side of Germantown. Not all of the gravestones in this cemetery have (as yet!) been connected to people on this site. A few stones, including at least one immediately in front of the camera, do not appear, and some have obviously become so worn as not to be readable or even visible.
This map does is not laid out with complete accuracy, but gives the clearest image of the siege. The northern sides of the fortifications were not entirely walled because of the gullies.

This is the cemetery as it looks from Slack Pike. Note that it is on private land. The metal fence is visible inside the grove of trees, with the gate on the left side. The cemetery is untended and very overgrown.

Tennessee is key for the Strain family, who migrated from Augusta and Rockbridge counties in Virginia down the Shenandoah Valley to Blount Co., Tennessee. Information on this family comes almost exclusively from their family Bible, which while wonderful provides little context. The history of this family provides one of the more difficult puzzles to access.
Texas was the home state for Metta Tomlinson Lansdale, whose ancestry provides one of the core trees for this site. Her family includes (among others) Simpsons, Tomlinsons, and von Rosenbergs who moved to Texas (from abroad or elsewhere in the United States) around the middle of the nineteenth century.

This page collects people on this site who served in the Revolutionary War. Some are militia; some served in the Line troops. It includes both loyalists and patriots. There may well be others on the tree who should be included. Some could use more secure evidence: genealogical histories often say that someone "fought in the Revolution," but this can be family legend rather than fact.
Sources are cited under each person's page. War and Pension records can be found on line at the National Archives. Genealogies can be ordered from the DAR and the SAR, but their lists only include those whom people have used to join, not all veterans.
