A Genealogy of the Towner Family
Author: James W. Towner
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781332294145
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Excerpt from A Genealogy of the Towner Family: The Descendants of Richard Towner, Who Came From Sussex County, Eng;, To Guilford, Conn;, Before 1685 To compile the Genealogy of a stock or family, even for a couple of hundred years, is by no means an easy task. Especially is this the case when there has been no systematic attempt to make and preserve a record of the family during the time covered by the history. In 1880 on visiting my birthplace after forty years' absence, I became interested in the Towner genealogy. Then I had not seen and knew nothing of any one of the name of Towner, except my paternal grandfather, and the families of my father, and of his only brother, Eneas; though I was then fifty-seven years old, and had lived in the states of New York, Ohio and Iowa, and had been in the army over four years during the civil war. Yet, strange as it may seem, my great-grandfather (see No. 39) Zacheus, had lived for some years and had died in Charlotte, Vt., within ten miles of where I was born, but on the opposite side of Lake Champlain. In 1838 my father with his family began moving West, finally in 1864 bringing up in Michigan. When a lad I knew of his visiting the widow of his uncle Erasmus in Vermont, and heard him speak of some of his cousins. His grandfather(39) Zacheus spent most of his life in New Fairfield, Conn., and the only thing I remember his (my father) saying of his ancestry is that his grandfather was a native of Ireland and that he emigrated to Connecticut before the Revolution.

A Good Master Well Served
Author: Lawrence William Towner
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317731867
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
First published in 1998. Early American historians are finding connections between the bonded status of African American slaves, European indentured servants, convicts, and sailors. An excellent starting point for this inquiry is this neglected classic by Lawrence Towner, former head of the Newberry Library in Chicago and editor of the William and Mary Quarterly. This comprehensive study of the lives and experiences of bonded laborers in colonial Massachusetts demonstrates the full sweep of their work and aspirations. Towner analyzes the legal status of all varieties of black and white bonded laborers. He explores their living and working conditions and discusses the cultural significance of work in their lives. The book also address gender issues in bonded labor. The author's approach provides a new understanding of the experiences of black and white workers in early America, and corrects a long-standing neglect of blacks in previous research. This edition makes this important work available in print for the first time, and includes an introductory essay by Alfred F. Young, "Dissertations and Gatekeepers: Why it took45 Years for a Ph.D. Thesis to be Published." (Ph.D. dissertation, Northwestern University; 1954)
