The Wynne Family History
Author: David Wynne
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 778
Book Description
For anyone interested in family history this book is a must read. Compiled by amateur historian David Wynne, who was inspired to research his own family history, this book begins with a brief history of the Welsh royal lineage in the period of the 1500s and 1600s, and then recounts in stunning detail the Wynne family descendants of Thomas and Sarah Wynn (born in the 1750s). The author details the lives of many families, including the Barwell and Shearman families, who were closely connected to the Wynne family. This book also gives the reader the context of the environments they lived in, with accounts of the political backdrop that influenced their lives. David Wynne has painstakingly researched all the facts for this book over the last eighteen years, and has included an incredible amount of detail about the lives of his ancestors. This book covers in some detail, the Wynne family and their involvement with shoe industry in Stafford during the 19th century and also discusses the great industrial firm Platt Brothers Ltd, cotton machinery makers in Oldham, Lancashire, with information on some of the directors and founders of this great firm, including Wynne family members. The book travels the globe, from the UK to British North Borneo, and to America, Australia and New Zealand. Many members of the Wynne family had a love of travel and a desire to move to, and settle in, distant lands. The lives of Wynne family members are recorded in detail right up to 2021. Family dramas and scandals are unearthed, such as the affair and high profile divorce of Eleanor Margaret Wynne in front of a grand jury, and the subsequent international media coverage that ensued. The book also includes accounts of famous family members, such as Frances Hodgson Burnett, granddaughter of Mary Wynne and author of many books including Little Lord Fauntleroy and The Secret Garden. The book is illustrated with an incredible array of images spanning the centuries, both from historical records, and from personal Wynne family photo collections.

The Washingtons of Wessyngton Plantation
Author: John Baker
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416570330
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
When John F. Baker Jr. was in the seventh grade, he saw a photograph of four former slaves in his social studies textbook—two of them were his grandmother's grandparents. He began the lifelong research project that would become The Washingtons of Wessyngton Plantation, the fruit of more than thirty years of archival and field research and DNA testing spanning 250 years. A descendant of Wessyngton slaves, Baker has written the most accessible and exciting work of African American history since Roots. He has not only written his own family's story but included the history of hundreds of slaves and their descendants now numbering in the thousands throughout the United States. More than one hundred rare photographs and portraits of African Americans who were slaves on the plantation bring this compelling American history to life. Founded in 1796 by Joseph Washington, a distant cousin of America's first president, Wessyngton Plantation covered 15,000 acres and held 274 slaves, whose labor made it the largest tobacco plantation in America. Atypically, the Washingtons sold only two slaves, so the slave families remained intact for generations. Many of their descendants still reside in the area surrounding the plantation. The Washington family owned the plantation until 1983; their family papers, housed at the Tennessee State Library and Archives, include birth registers from 1795 to 1860, letters, diaries, and more. Baker also conducted dozens of interviews—three of his subjects were more than one hundred years old—and discovered caches of historic photographs and paintings. A groundbreaking work of history and a deeply personal journey of discovery, The Washingtons of Wessyngton Plantation is an uplifting story of survival and family that gives fresh insight into the institution of slavery and its ongoing legacy today.

Interwoven Lives
Author: Candace Wellman
Publisher: Washington State University Press
ISBN: 087422389X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
In this companion work to Peace Weavers, her award-winning first book on Puget Sound’s cross-cultural marriages, author Candace Wellman depicts the lives of four additional intermarried indigenous women who influenced mid-1800s settlement in the Bellingham Bay area. She describes each wife’s native culture, details ancestral history and traits for both spouses, and traces descendants’ destinies, highlighting the families’ contributions to new communities. Jenny Wynn was the daughter of an elite Lummi and his Songhees wife, and was a strong voice for justice for her people. She and her husband Thomas owned a farm and donated land and a cabin for the second rural school. Several descendants became teachers. Snoqualmie Elizabeth Patterson, daughter of the most powerful native leader in western Washington, married a cattleman. After her death from tuberculosis, kind foster parents raised her daughters, who ultimately grew up to enhance Lynden’s literary and business growth. Resilient and strong, Mary Allen was the daughter of an Nlaka’pamux leader on British Columbia’s Fraser River. The village of Marietta arose from her long marriage. Later, her sons played important roles in southeast Alaska’s early fishing industry. The indigenous wife of Fort Bellingham commander George W. Pickett (later a brigadier general in the Civil War) left no name to history after her early death, but gifted the West with one of its most important early artists, James Tilton Pickett. Interwoven Lives was a finalist for the 2020 Willa Literary Award, scholarly nonfiction.
