Thomas Row (1754-1840) married Rachel Keeling and served in the Revolutionary War from 1776 to 1778. The family moved from King and Queen County to Orange County, Virginia in 1779, following an uncle (Ernest Row) who had already made such a move. Absalom "Abbie" Row (1868-1931) was a direct descendant in the fourth generation. Abbie was born in Culpeper County, Virginia, and married Annie Juliet Rosser in 1893 in Summers County, West Virginia. They moved to Arkansas and Texas, returning to the family plantation of Greenfield near Strasburg, Virginia, and later finally settling at Alexandria, Virginia. Descendants and relatives lived in Virginia, West Vir- ginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Texas, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and elsewhere. Includes many lines of ancestry (chiefly nobility) in England, France, Germany and elsewhere (supposedly back to about 1300 B.C.). Includes genealogical data about other Row--Rowe immigrants to Virginia and elsewhere.
In May 1835 in a Sydney courtroom, a slight, balding man named John Dow stood charged with forgery. The prisoner shocked the room by claiming he was Edward, Viscount Lascelles, eldest son of the powerful Earl of Harewood. The Crown alleged he was a confidence trickster and serial impostor. Was this really the heir to one of Britain's most spectacular fortunes? Part Regency mystery, part imperial history, A Swindler's Progress is an engrossing tale of adventure and deceit across two worlds—British aristocrats and Australian felons—bound together in an emerging age of opportunity and individualism, where personal worth was battling power based on birth alone. The first historian to unravel...
A handful of discoveries have changed the course of human history. This book is about the most recent and potentially the most powerful and dangerous of them all. It is an invention that allows us to rewrite the genetic code that shapes and controls all living beings with astonishing accuracy and ease. Thanks to it, the dreams of genetic manipulation have become a stark reality: the power to cure disease and alleviate suffering, to create new sources of food and energy, as well as to re-design any species, including humans, for our own ends. Jennifer Doudna is the co-inventor of this technology - known as CRISPR - and a scientist of worldwide renown. Writing with fellow researcher Samuel Sternberg, here she provides the definitive account of her discovery, explaining how this wondrous invention works and what it is capable of. She also asks us to consider what our new-found power means: how do we enjoy its unprecedented benefits while avoiding its equally unprecedented dangers? The future of humankind - and of all life on Earth - is at stake. This book is an essential guide to the path that now lies ahead.
