The Solidarity of Kin
Arguing that Native Americans' religious life and history have been misinterpreted, author Kenneth M. Morrison reconstructs the Eastern Algonkians' world views and demonstrates the indigenous modes of rationality that shaped not only their encounter with the French but also their self-directed process of religious change. In reassessing controversial anthropological, historical, and ethnohistorical scholarship, Morrison develops interpretive strategies that are more responsive to the religious world views of the Eastern Algonkian peoples. He concludes that the Eastern Algonkians did not convert to Catholicism, but rather applied traditional knowledge and values to achieve a pragmatic and critical sense of Christianity and to preserve and extend kinship solidarity into the future. The result was a remarkable intersection of Eastern Algonkian and missionary cosmologies.
The Ginns and Their Kin
Chiefly the descendants of Jeptha Ginn and Penina Magee Ginn who were married in about 1787. Penina's parents, Jacob and Mary Scott Magee, were early settlers of Marion county, Mississippi. The 1800 census lists Jeptha Ginn as a head of household in Lancaster, South Carolina. By 1804 he was living in Washington county, Mississippi Territory and then on to Amite county, Mississippi Territory by 1810. The family is later listed in the 1816 census for Pike county, Mississippi. Descendants lived in Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Oklahoma, Arkansas and elsewhere.
