DOLOR DAVIS (c1593-1673): Newest Research Results From England & His Relative, NICHOLAS DAVIS (c1620-1672), 2nd Updated Edition

Dolor Davis, master carpenter, arrived in Massachusetts from England in 1634 CE. Thousands of his direct descendants currently live in America. The author has spent 25 years researching historical documents in England to shed new light on Dolor's life before he immigrated to New England. The author's research results both corrects and updates all previous books and genealogies previously written about Dolor and his wife, Margery (Willard) Davis, including the first accurately published vital statistics for their four "English-born" children, and their residences within Sussex County, England. Nicholas Davis, international merchant mariner, is the author's 8th-great grandfather who lived n...

Roots Quest

In Roots Quest, sociologist Jackie Hogan digs into our current genealogy boom to ask why we are so interested in our family history. She shows how the surging popularity of genealogy is a response to large-scale social changes, and she explores the way our increasingly rootless society fuels the quest for an elemental sense of belonging—for roots.

ISAIAH VORYS (1750-1834) of the VAN VOORHEES FAMILY: PIONEER of COLUMBUS, FRANKLIN COUNTY, OHIO And NEW JERSEY REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIER … HIS ANCESTORS and DESCENDANTS

This E-book centers around one of the founders of Columbus, Ohio; namely, Isaiah Vorys (1750-1834), who was was descended from his 1660 CE Long Island, New York "Van Voorhees" Dutch ancestors. The descendants of these Van Voorhees (Vorys/Voris) progenitors purportedly represent the largest Dutch family in the USA today. The author has traced Isaiah Vorys' ancestry to 1400 CE, The Netherlands, and he offers a comprehensive genealogy of his numerous descendants. Isaiah himself was a New Jersey Revolutionary War soldier who served under General George Washington. He migrated to the Columbus, Ohio area around 1808 C.E., and his descendants (including the author) and collateral relatives eventually resided in 82 out of 88 Ohio Counties throughout the past 200 years!

The purpose of this research paper is to offer a “genealogical summary” for the seven children born to Quaker Nicholas Davis and his only wife, Sarah (Ewer) Blossom, (the author’s 8th great grandparents), from 1652 CE to 1671 CE. Nicholas Davis was born say 1620 CE, probably in England, and he died in Newport, RI on 24 July 1672. He was a relative of Dolor and Margery (Willard) Davis, both of whom had died in Barnstable, Plymouth Colony by 1673. It has been estimated that Nicholas and Dolor Davis currently have several thousand living descendants in the USA today.

BIOGRAPHY of NICHOLAS DAVIS (d. 1672, RI): WITH NEW DISCOVERIES & ENDNOTES [3rd, Updated Edition]

Quaker Nicholas Davis, sometimes of Barnstable, Massachusetts and sometimes of Newport, Rhode Island is an interesting and notable American historical figure for several reasons: As the first Barnstable, Plymouth Colony resident to adopt the Quaker faith in 1659 CE, Nicholas “survived” severe persecutions legislated by both Plymouth Colony and Massachusetts Bay Colony governments. He was imprisoned twice with other Quakers who were late...

Dreams of Africa in Alabama

In the summer of 1860, more than fifty years after the United States legally abolished the international slave trade, 110 men, women, and children from Benin and Nigeria were brought ashore in Alabama under cover of night.

Timothy Meaher, an established Mobile businessman, sent the slave ship, the Clotilda , to Africa, on a bet that he could "bring a shipful of niggers right into Mobile Bay under the officers' noses." He won the bet. This book reconstructs the lives of the people in West Africa, recounts their capture and passage in the slave pen in Ouidah, and describes their experience of slavery alongsi...
