The Narrow Path
This family history explores the ancestry of the Wagenbach and Wiegand families. The book traces the origins of these families in Germany, among Amish Mennonites in Switzerland and France, and in Puritan England, culminating in the emigration of the two families to the United States. The book then continues to follow the evolution of the two families up to the present. In each of these phases, members of the Wagenbach and Wiegand families adhered to nonconformist religious traditions that set them apart from their contemporaries and exemplified the biblical notion that "narrow is the path which leadeth onto life and few there be that find it." My goal is to provide future generations of these families with an accurate and inspiring understanding of their past.

Charles Wesley in America
In 1736, a century into Britain's expansion in North America, Charles Wesley arrived, and departed, the American colonies. His time in Georgia, where he was a missionary of the Church of England, Colonel Oglethorpe's personal aide, and secretary of Indian Affairs, was filled with discord and difficulty. Despite being treated warmly by the Anglican clergy of Boston, he struggled as a newly ordained Anglican priest, and was enveloped by scandal when two women accused him and Oglethorpe of moral impropriety. Charles Wesley in America is the first comprehensive treatment of this period in Wesley's ministry. Kimbrough provides the first explanation of Wesley's silence following the Oglethorpe affair, and also examines his negative attitudes towards the Revolutionary War and nascent opposition to slavery. Drawing on primary sources such as Wesley's poetry and a rare letter exchange between two former slaves whom Wesley befriended in Bristol, Kimbrough gives fresh insight into this formative period and the impact it had on Wesley's later career.
Nolan-Miller Family History

Lewis's grandparents left Ballinasloe (Ireland) and settled in New Jersey in 1843, and then in Norwalk (Wisconsin). Their youngest son Lewis married Bertha Orpha Miller, the descendant of the British immigrant Obadiah Miller (b. 1645). Lewis and Bertha married in 1900 in Wisconsin. From the 1600-1800's, other Nolans, Millers, and other allied families lived in: Canada, Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
