Book Description
Colonial Chesapeake Families: British Origins and Descendants Harrison Dwight Cavanagh First edition awarded the Sumner A. Parker Prize by the Maryland Historical Society in 2014. The second edition of this work features all descendants of Thomas Gantt I (b. Bullwick, N. Hants; to Md. 1654; d. Calvert Co. 1692) and Ann Fielder (b. ca. 1662 Hants; d. PG Co. 1726) in the first six to ten generations. Ann Fielder is an important new addition to American colonial GATEWAY ancestors. Her parents, Capt. William Fielder (ca. 16201679) of Burrough Court Manor and Marjorie Cole (16281699) of Lyss Abbey, Hants, have proven multiple royal and magna carta ancestral lines; sixty extensive British pedigrees are documented in these volumes. The name Fielder has been inherited in multiple generations of the Beall, Belt, Berry, Bowie, Calvert, Clagett, Denwood, Dorsett, Gantt, Jones (Somerset Co.), Parker (Cal. Co.), Smallwood, Smith (Cal. Co.), and Wight (White) Maryland families. In addition, this second edition contains important new research findings on the British origins of the Hatton-Domville and Brooke-Darnall families, as well as revealing the two lost Ann Bradfords of PG Co. Colonial Chesapeake Families details the pedigrees of eighty-eight families, historical illustrations, portraits, documents, and coats-of-arms (where proven) are included. Publication of these volumes has been subsidized to make them more widely available to the thousands of descendants listed in their pages. And thanks to print on demand, Colonial Chesapeake Families will never go out of print.

Pages : 206
Book Description
Rapides Parish, Louisiana, a History, by George Purnell Whittington, was the first comprehensive history of Alexandria and Rapides Parish. Unfortunately, due to the author's early demise, it was left incomplete after its coverage of the Civil War. Originally appearing in issues of the Louisiana Historical Quarterly from 1932-1935, it was published posthumously in one volume by the Alexandria Committee of the National Society of Colonial Dames in the State of Louisiana. It was out of print from sometime in the early 1970s until this second edition was recently completed by Red River X-Press. Topics include native and migrant Indians, Indian traders, early settlements and explorations by Spain and France, the Louisiana and Orleans territories and how they affected the local area, slavery and slave insurrections, schools and school teachers, early religion, courts and lawyers, Rapides and its leaders in the presidential campaign of 1860, preparations for the Civil War, the invasions and occupations of 1863 and 1864, (i.e. the Red River Campaign), the building of Bailey's dam to allow the escape of Union gunboats and transports, and the burning of Alexandria and much of Rapides Parish by retreating Union troops in 1864.
