The Chipman Family, a Genealogy of the Chipmans in America, 1631-1920
"John Chipman was born, probably at Bryans-Piddle, near Dorchester, England about 1614; died April 7, 1708. Always brotherless and early left fatherless, he sailed from Barnstable, Devon County, England in May 1631, in the ship Friendship, arriving in Boston July 14 1631. John Chipman was the first and only one of the name to seek a home in America, and up to 1850 there was no Chipman in this country who was not descended from him...In 1646...[he] married Hope, second daughter of John and Elizabeth (Tillie) Howland, born in Plymouth, Mass., 1629; died 1683...In 1864 he married Ruth , youngest daughter of William Sargent, born in Charlestown, Mass Oct. 25, 1642 [who had been married and widowed twice]...The will of John Chipman, [was] dated Nov. 12, 1702, [and] proved May 17, 1708..."--P. 13-14.

Commentaries on the Constitution, 1790-1860
Bauer, Elizabeth Kelley. Commentaries on the Constitution 1790-1860. New York: Columbia University Press, 1952. 400 pp. Reprinted 1999 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. LCCN 98-45409. ISBN 1-886363-66-8. Cloth. $95. * A thorough survey and examination of the "formal commentaries" on the Constitution that were written as summaries of official pronouncements by proponents of the two major schools of constitutional interpretation before the Civil War--the nationalist Northern school as evidenced by the Marshall-Story decisions in the Supreme Court, and the Southern states rights advocates who lacked an equal spokesman. As this important study places the commentaries in a historical context by comparing their theories, examining their impact and their roots in the lives of the authors, it serves to illustrate "the early divergence between the North and South in theoretical discussions of the nature of the Union, and eventually lead to the constitutional justification of Southern secession." From the Preface.
Winston-Salem's Historic Salem Cemetery
Since it was chartered in 1857, Salem Cemetery reflects the personal taste and imagination of individuals who designed their family plots, vaults, and markers. A walk along the winding paths, noting names on markers and vaults, is a walk through the city's history, recalling the people who lived, labored, and loved here.
