| 10502 | Note on Find a Grave: Maria Willemse Brouwer was born June 4, 1653 at New Netherlands, New York to William Hendrickse and Elisabeth Arnoldusen Drinckveld Brouwer. She married Isaac Phillipse Du Trieux about 1680, probably in Albany County, New York, and their children were: Abraham, William, Isaac, Lysbeth, Jacob, Johannes, Eva, Sarah and Maria. She died sometime after 1706 in New York State. Bio by John E. Sherman Parents of Maria Willemse Brouwer: Willem Hendrickse Brouwer was born about 1625 at Nijkerck, Gelderland, Netherlands to Hendrick and Marities Pieterson Bobsbeem Brouwer. Elisabeth Arnoldusen Drinckveld was born in 1625 at Prinsenland, Rotterdam, Netherlands to Aerts and his wife Drinckveld. The name Brouwer is the Dutch word for brewer. Willem and Elisabeth were married in November 1648 at Grote Kerk, Breda, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands and their children were: Willem, Arnoldus, Eva and Phillip - all born in the Netherlands. Children born in America were: Maria, Lysbeth, Willem (again) and Hendrick. The family came to New Amsterdam from Qerland, Holland before June 4, 1653 and after 1650. They were property owners in New Amsterdam before moving to Beverwyck (Albany) in 1657. Willem most likely was a beaver trader like his father before him. He was sued in court a couple of times for trading with the Indians, which was forbidden. Also, he was sued in 1657 over claims that he did violence in his own house. He forcibly drove off the plaintiff with a broomstick when he came to collect for a pair of shoes. Willem died August 1, 1668 at Albany, Albany County, New York and was probably buried there. Elisabeth died in 1670 at Albany and most likely is also buried there. Bio by John E. Sherman #47749330 | Brouwer, Maria Willemse (I5806)

| 10514 | note on Find a Grave: Mary died in Prince George's County, Maryland, now Frederick County, Maryland. Here date and place of burial could not be found. ***** Part of a letter I received: Letter of August 18, 1997 from Dr. Peter Stebbins Craig, F.A.S.G., 3406 Macomb St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20016-3160 reads in part: "Peter Stille, son of Jacob Stille, followed Charles Hedges' [husband of his sister Maria Anne] children to Prince Georges (now Frederick) County, Maryland, witnesses the will of Andrew Hedges (son of Charles Hedges) on 13 March 1747/8 (Prince Georges County wills, 1:395) and was listed as 'next-of-kin' on inventories of Joseph Hedges who died in 1753." ***** I received a note from James Osbourn with this information that I thought should be shared. "Mary died in Prince George's County, Maryland, now Frederick County, Maryland. Here date and place of burial could not be found.” If she died in 1765 as your Death date shows, then it likely may not have been St. George’s County at that time. Frederick County was formed in 1748 from part of St George’s and part of Baltimore County. If we assume that she was still living on the Monocacy River where Charles was owner of several properties, then it would have been Frederick County. | Stille, Maria (I5232)

| 10521 | Note on Find a Grave: My 9th Great Grandfather. The Du Treux family were from northeast France (present day Belgium), French speaking, who became Protestants. At the time was under Spanish rule, was marked by bloodshed, repression and wide-spread loss of life. Many of the Du Treux family fled. Some found sanctuary in England and a large family group went, in exile, to the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, which had recently declared its independence from Spain, the Du Treuxes and other families settled in Amsterdam. As skilled artisans, they found employment, assistance, civil and religious freedoms. Among these was Philippe Du Trieux, born ca. 1586 at Roubaix in what is now France. By 1614, Philippe Du Treux was a skilled craftsman in Amsterdam, serving as a dyer. In 1615, in the Church of old Amsterdam, he married Jacquemine Noiret, from Lille, France. In 1620, Jacquemine died, leaving Philippe with three small children Marie, Philippe Jr., and Madeline, who died in infancy. In the meantime, the West India Company was being established to develop international commerce and to serve as a military arm of the Netherlands. A brisk fur trade had developed in the Hudson Valley region of America, and in 1623 the West India Company made the decision to occupy the land between the Delaware Valley and the Connecticut River with permanent settlers. Philippe and his family, along with 29 other families, entered into a contract with the West India Company to relocate to America. Philippe and his family wife Susanna and children Marie and Philippe Jr. departed the Netherlands at the beginning of April 1624 on the ship "New Netherland" and arrived at present day New York in mid-May. He and fellow emigrants came as free men and were granted freedom in all religious matters. They settled in Manhattan. There, Philippe and Susanna's family continued to expand four daughters and three sons. He became an employee of the West India Company and served until his death as the Court Messenger by Director Kieft in 1638. He received patent for lands in 'Smits Valley' in 1640. He owned a home on Beaver Street, near the Fort, which he sold in 1643, having acquired a sizable farm along the East River in 1640. This first landholding on American soil today is the site of many Commercial ventures. The land is located near the southern tip of Manhattan. It is on the shore south of the Brooklyn Bridge. Nearby Battery Park, there rests a beautiful monument erected in 1924 to honor the emigrants of the ship "New Netherlands. Donated by the people in Belgium, the tercentennial observance was supported by the leadership of four nations: Belgium, the Netherlands, France and the United States. Emigrant Philippe Du Treux is much of record under the Dutch on early Manhattan Island. Philippe and his eldest son, Philippe Jr., were killed in 1652. | du Trieux, Philippe Antoni (I5790)

| 10523 | Note on Find a Grave: My Great-Great Grandfather John McGhee's stone located in the old Wesley Chapel Cemetery, Linn Co., Missouri. This is a photo I took in the fall of 1982. At that time, this old historic cemetery, and many others throughout the area, were being well taken care of. Now, as of July 2016, it's in very poor condition,overgrown and sadly neglected. As is so often the case in these days, once the older generations of local willing cemetery 'caretakers' pass away, their younger generations feel they're too busy to continue the care-giving so many old Linn Co. cemeteries once received.

| 10524 | note on Find a Grave: Myrix Josiah Williams was born near Richmond, KY on July 14, 1811, a son of John Williams (c. 1764/7-1816?) and Elizabeth Collins (?-?), both from Virginia but believed to have met in Madison Co KY, where they married. They named Myrix for his grandfather William Miricks Williams and his great-grandfather, Josiah Stone [. . .] Myrix' name is at times misstated in census records as "Max" or even "Miax." The name seems to be of Welch origin, a permutation of Miricks or Myrick or even today, Merrick. [. . .] Betsy Collins Williams (Myrix' mother) was the daughter of Nancy Anne Garland (?-?) and John Collins (?-?). Both the Williams and Collins families had settled in Madison County VA (later, KY) after moving into KY from VA. The Williams were located on Tates Creek, while the Collins family lived on Muddy Creek. Both families attended Viney Fork Baptist Church. In about 1830, John and Betsy Williams relocated their family from Richmond, KY to Napoleon in Gallatin County KY. John Williams' parents were Welshman William Miricks Williams (abt 1735-1814, Madison County KY) and Elizabeth Stone (April 14, 1749, Stafford County Virginia-b/f 1787?). In addition to son John, William and Elizabeth Stone Williams were the parents of two other children, William Jr (c. 1764/7-?) and Mary (1770-?). Elizabeth and William were married in Prince William County VA in 1764. Elizabeth was a daughter of immigrant Josiah/Josias Stone (abt 1725-1790) and Mary Coleman (abt 1720-1789). Josiah Stone was born in England and married Mary Coleman on June 17, 1747 in Stafford CO Virginia. In 1778, Josiah Stone bought land and a slave from William Miricks/Mirix Williams. Josiah Stone died in Stafford County VA in 1790; Mary, his wife died the year before. It is believed William's first wife, Elizabeth, died before 1787. In that year, a census and tax assessment was conducted in Madison County Virginia (later, Campbell CO KY). William Miricks Williams was enrolled together with one son below the age of 21. [ . . .] William M. Williams' second wife was Ann(a) Milam (?-by 1810). According to the Madison County KY census of 1810 [. . .] no wife is listed. [. . .] it is reasonable to conclude that William's second wife, Ann(a) Milam had died before the 1810 Census was conducted. [. . .] Junietta Gouge (Feb 25, 1815-June 17, 1846) and Myrix Josiah Williams were married in Grant County KY on Nov 8, 1831. Junietta Gouge [. . .] was one of nine children born to James M. Gouge (1777-1858/60) and Ellen (Ella) Jane ("Nellie") Jewett /Juett (1789-1849) of Grant County, KY. James and Nellie were married in 1807. In addition to Junietta, their children included Louisiana, James M., Marietta, William Taylor, Thomas Jefferson, Lafayette P., John Quincy, and Henry Clay Gouge. Of these children, perhaps the most locally prominent was T.J. ("Uncle Jeff") Gouge, a farmer and sometime hotelier in Williamstown and the father of seventeen children. James Gouge was from Virginia and lived in Bourbon County KY before settling permanently in Grant County. It has been said that James moved to Kentucky as early as 1798, with his widowed mother. James is listed in the Grant County Census of 1820. In 1824, James Gouge bought a lot in Williamstown, Grant County. He is presumed to have built a home on this lot. It has also been recorded that by 1814, James Gouge was operating a tavern near the hamlet later to be named Mason. However, the tavern owner appears to be a James Gough, not James Gouge. [. . .] Ellen Jane Jewett and James Gouge are buried in a now-isolated Gouge Family cemetery in Mason along Route 25. Their graves are on a rise of ground, in a thicket between the highway and the tracks of the Southern Railroad, a quarter mile south of the Lawrenceville Road in Grant County. In June 2006, their two gravestones were located by a covey of their relatives, who found the markers completely hidden in underbrush and for that, surprisingly well preserved. A third stone marker is that of Joseph Juett, Oct 26, 1792-Nov 12, 1849, a brother (I believe) of Ellen Jewett Gouge. James and Nellie Gouge were active Baptists. James was listed as a member of the Fork Lick Old Baptist Church. The formal name of this church was "the Particular Baptist Church at Fork Lick." Prior to the founding of this church, the Fork Lick members had been associated with what they themselves called the "Baptist Church at Dry Ridge." [. . .] Junietta Gouge and Myrix Josiah Williams were the parents of four children, Louisiana (June 8, 1834-August 4, 1934, named for an aunt); Sarah (?-?); Nancy and John, who died in 1846 at age 19. Louisiana married Henry Clay Castleman in 1850. Sarah married Washington Huey and was the mother of four: Lee; Oscar M., a pastor of Crescent Hill Baptist Church in Louisville, KY and friend of Cecil V. Cook Sr (1871-1948) [paternal grandfather of the writer of this sketch]; Annie (Gaines); and Samuel. Daughter Nancy became the wife of John Crouch (1835-1903) and the mother of Sara Crouch Huey (1861-1956) [maternal great grandmother of the writer of this sketch]. Two other children were born to Myrix and Junietta, who died quite young; they were Mary Jane (1838-1842) and Joannah (1845-1845), who lived but five months.[. . .] In 1830-31, Myrix built a home for Junietta in Dry Ridge, Grant County KY. They lived there until Junietta's death in 1846. [. . .] Myrix moved to Glencoe after Junietta died, where he saw to the construction of a two-story brick home overlooking the community. Myrix served as Glencoe Magistrate for 40 years. Myrix' granddaughter, Sara Crouch and her husband James Huey, told their granddaughter Betty Cook that Myrix, tall, proper and severe, required everyone to come to breakfast properly dressed. He read the Louisville Courier Journal every day and looked up in his dictionary any words he did not know. Rain or snow, he saw to his riding horse every morning. Myrix was remembered as generous and hospitable but "ruled with an iron hand," Sara said. Junietta Gouge Williams died a month before her 31st birthday. She is buried on a gentle slope in the cemetery at Ten Mile Baptist Church, Tapering Point Road, in Napoleon, Gallatin County KY. [. . .] Young Junietta died of an unremembered cause. The culprit could have been the harsh gauntlet of childbirth, far more deadly in those days, to mothers than to their babes. [. . .] Space was left for Myrix in the Ten Mile Baptist Church Cemetery. But soon enough Myrix married Martha Turley (Dec 22 1821-Nov 14 1871). Myrix and Martha were the parents of five children: Taylor, Billie, Jimmie, Betty and Frank (Joseph Franklin). In 1874, Myrix, widowed once again, married Minerva Donaldson and with her became the father of Maggie Williams (Mrs. J.E. Wolford), who lived in Louisville. [. . .] The sudden death of young Junietta and the prompt second marriage of her husband, is a reminder of duties owed to the living. Myrix quickly got a mother for his young children, including daughter Nancy, then three years old. Junietta, in her dying, may have made Myrix promise to re-marry. We cannot know. But we do know that little Nan Williams, with hardly a memory of her mother, grew up to be an articulate, extraverted and literate woman, a venturesome widow and an honored matriarch in the home of her daughter, Sara Crouch Huey, in Union, KY. Sara named her only daughter after Nan. [. . .] Myrix was buried in a family cemetery in Glencoe. Although Myrix had been an active Baptist, the funeral took place in his home and the graveside ceremony was conducted by the Masons. Myrix had been Grand Master of the Kentucky Masons in 1865-66. He also served in the KY legislature in that year. His headstone could still be read in 2006.

| 10525 | Note on Find a Grave: Name Jan Baptist Van Eps Birth Date 1673 Father Johannes Van Eps Mother Elizabeth Janse Spouse Helena Glen Marriage Date 9 Jul 1699 Children: Johannes Van Eps Anna Van Eps Elizabeth Van Eps Sander Van Eps Maria Van Eps Jan Baptist Van Eps Jacobus Van Eps Jacomyna Van Eps Helena Van Eps Caterina Van Eps Jan Baptiste Van Eps was born about 1673 at Schenectady County, New York to Johannes Dirckse and Elizabeth Janse Douw Van Eps. From the mid to late 1800's, it was common for some branches of the Van Eps family to add an extra "p" to their name - Van Epps. When Jan Baptiste was about seventeen years old, he was taken as a prisoner during the Schenectady Massacre in February 1690 and held as a captive in an Indian village in Canada for three years. During the massacre, sixty men, women and children, including Jan's father and younger brother, were put to death, some in the most barbarous manner. Twenty seven, including Jan, were taken prisoner and another sixty escaped, some going to Albany. The settlement at Schenectady consisted of about eighty homes of which most were burned. While Jan was in captivity, he learned the Indian language and customs. Because of this, he later was often employed as an interpreter and ambassador of the Five Nations. In February 1693, Jan Baptiste was taken along as a guide by his captors on a raid of the nearby Mohawk village and a planned raid of Schenectady and Albany. The force consisted of six hundred twenty five men, which included two hundred Indians. When near Schenectady, during the night, Jan Baptiste was able to escape and warned the people of Schenectady of the impending attack. Local legend states that Jan appeared in full Indian attire and war paint at the Glen's house in Scotia, New York. It is said that Helena Glen, the oldest daughter, was quite intrigued by Jan. The French commander, in his notes, said the failure of the attempted raid was due to the escape of Jan Baptiste Van Eps. Later, Jan was given some land by the Mohawks because he had been their interpreter. Jan married Helena Sanderse Glen July 9, 1699 and their children were: Johannes, Annatie, Elisabeth, Alexander, Maria, Jan Baptiste Jr., Jacobus, Jacomyntje, Helena and Catarina. Jan died in 1731 at Glenville, Schenectady County, New York and is thought to be buried in that area. Bio by John E. Sherman Parents of Jan Baptiste Van Eps: Johannes Dirckse Van Eps was born about 1630 in the Netherlands to Dirck Evertse and Maritie Adamse Damen Van Eps. Also shows as 1654 at New Amsterdam which I think is incorrect. Elizabeth Janse Douw was born in 1649 at Fredikstaat,, Denmark to Jan Douw. Alternate parents also show as Volckert Douweszen Wiggersz and Dorothea Janse Van Breestede. Johannes married Elizabeth about 1666 at Albany, Albany County, New York and their children were: Maritje, Dirck, Jan Baptiste, Elisabeth, Anna, Evert and Sara. Johannes was killed February 8, 1690 at the Schenectady Massacre in New York by the French and Indians. Elizabeth married Gysbert Gerritsen Van Brakelen July 23, 1693 at Albany, Albany County, New York after the death of Johannes. Their children were: Gysbert, Stephen and Berenje. Elizabeth died May 22, 1735 at Schenectady and is most likely buried there. Bio by John E. Sherman #47749330 | Van Eps, Jan Baptist (I5886)

| 10526 | note on Find a Grave: No tombstone of hers found.... See her husband Abraham's biography/FAG. Ruth Hedges (1722-1761) married Abraham Van Metre, brother of Solomon Hedges, and they, too, moved to [West] Virginia, settling in Berkeley County. In Abraham's will dated 21 Dec, 1780, and probated in Berkeley Co., Va., 18 Nov., 1783, no mention whatever is made of his wife and it may be presumed that his second wife was deceased at this date, 1780. There were ten children in his family and Jacob the only one not mentioned in his will as a legatee; the sons Jacob and Isaac, with son-in-law William Gorrell, were executors. It is said that of his children, Jacob, Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Rebecca and Mary were by his first wife, Ruth Hedges (or Ruth Hedges Bentley, a widow as has been sometimes stated), and John, Ruth, Daniel and Hannah were the issue of his second wife, Mrs. Martha Wheeler Van Metre (B. F. Van Metre, Biographical and Genealogical Sketches). The older set of children seem not to have participated in the provisions of the will, and in such case it is believed that he provided for them at the time of his second marriage, if we accept the theory that there were two sets of children... | Hedges, Ruth (I5241)

This leaves Charles and Joseph Hedges, both of whom according to their father's will were destined to go to Virginia. Neither did. Nor did their sister Catherine, who stayed on in the Monocacy area with her two husbands, Jacob Julien and Joseph Wood. Joseph Hedges became a tenant on the Monocacy Manor, married and had but a single child Rebecca before he died in 1753. His widow Mary, later the wife of John Wilson, and his brother Charles Hedges were Joseph's executors. Joseph's will provided that. should his daughter Rebecca die before coming of age, half his land should go to the children of his brother Charles Hedges. She did not die, but was raised by Charles Hedges and in storybook fashion married her first cousin Charles Hedges Jr.. As a result, they together inherited the 150-acre lease to Lot No. 10 on Monocacy Manor! So it was that Charles Hedges, alone among the nine children who came to Maryland with their parents, continued the Hedges story in Frederick County.

| 10530 | Note on Find a Grave: Olof Peterson Stille was the son of Peter Stille. he was born in Penningsby Manor, Ruslagen, Sweden in the year 1610. From two publications, Olof Stille in New Sweden by Fritz Nordstrom, and the Stille Family in America 1641-1772 by Peter Stebbins Craig, we learn much about our Swedish forefather, Olof Stille. He was an impetuous youth which led to his expulsion from Sweden. As a young man in the new world, he was a prosperous plantation owner. In his later years, he was admired and respected as a magistrate. On May 3, 1641, Olof Stille, his wife and two children (Ella then 7years old, and Anders, then one-and-a-half years old ) boarded the Charitas in Stockholm for the long voyage to New Sweden, (Wilmington, Delaware), via Goteborg. After a stormy voyage, they arrived in November 1641. Stille went on to become a very prosperous plantation owner. He resided on Tinicum Island and owned the land between Ridley and Crum Creeks. In 1658, after the Dutch took possession of the country, he was one of the four commissioners or magistrates appointed to administer justice among the inhabitants, neighboring colonists, and the Indians, the later giving him the name, "Black Beard." A bronze Memorial above the South Broad Street entrance to City Hall in Philadelphia, honors Olof Stille and the early Swedish settlers. Many of the direct descendants of Olof Stille migrated from the Wilmington/Philadelphia area to New Jersey. Their gravestones may be seen at Head of River Church, Upper Township, New Jersey, and the United Methodist Church in Tuckahoe, New Jersey. He died in Passyunk, Philadelphia in 1684. | Stille, Olof Persson (I5687)

| 10545 | Note on Find a Grave: Rev. Joshua P. Hunt "All must die," is the universe edict of Jehovah. There is no prophylatic against death. No place, however remote, and no station in life, be it humble or exalted, to exempt from solemn summons to leave the shores of times. It is merciful provision that such is the case his tyrany, the oppressor no longer continues to oppress in the presence of this Fell Destroyer. Death is time leveler. To those who have known only pain and sorrow and disappointment, the tomb promises rest and freedom from care and anxiety if nothing more; but to the faithful christian it is a transition period from a life of more or less disappointment to one of eternal joy: Hope is the never-falling anchor of human soul. In darkness of death hope sees a star and listening to the love can hear the rustle of a wing." Then subject of this sketch, in obedience to the divine degree, has responded to the last call on earth and paid by one and all. The last sad offices, prompted by the love and affection, have been bestowed upon the mortal remains of Rev. Joshua P. Hunt, his body committed to its mother earth and his spirit to the God who gave it. Rev. Joshua Parker Hunt was born in Fleming county, Kentucky, Oct. 16, 1805, and died at his home, near Modoc, Indiana, Oct. 2, 1889, aged 83 years, 11 month, and 18 days. His father, Col. John Hunt, was a native of Tennessee, but emigrated to Kentucky during the latter years of the 18th century, and was one of the pioneers of the "dark and bloody ground," and colonel in the war of 1812. He was united in marriage with Ellen Denton Aug 26, 1828. By this happy union he was the father of seven children, two of whom survive him. He moved to Randolph County, Indiana in 1836 , where he ever since continuously resided, except about nine years spent in the State of Illinois. Having been bereft of his first wife in 1846, he was united in marriage with Rachel Howell, June 43, 1848, By this marriage he was the father of eight children, six whom are still living. In early life he chose the profession of law for his life work, but in deference to the wish of his parents devoted himself to pursuits. In politics he was a Whig of the Henry Clay school, and voted in Nettle Creek township this country, when there were only eight Whig votes, including his own. Since the organization of the Republican party he has been an ardent and consistent member of it, and took an active part in several exciting political campaigns. He was a member of the M.E. church for about seventy-six years, having been converted to Christ but seven years of age and because a member of the church at the age of eight. He was a local minister of the M.E. church for forty-five years, and done most of excellent work for the Master both in this State and Illinois, where he preached a great deal. During his sickness he said that "he never knew what to have the least doubt of Christ's power to save, nor of his own salvation through Him." To his son, Union B. Hunt, and of his neighbors he said, "If my time has come, death has no terrors for me, for with Job I can say, I know that my redeemer liveth." Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Wm. C. Bowen, of New Castle, and an appropriate sermon was preached form Revelations, 14th chapter, 12th verse: Here is the presence of the saints: here are they that keep the commandment of God and faith of Jesus. "And, I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me write, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord form henceforth; yea, sayeth the spirit that they may rest from their labors and their own works and follow them." Joshua P. Hunt was a very remarkable man with regard to the trinity of powers-physical, intellectual and moral the harmonious development of which produced the perfect human being. His powers of physical endurance were in the highest degree marvelous. Notwithstanding his active and busy career for more than three quarters of a century, his boldly vigor was well maintained up within a short time of his death. As specific example of his hardihood, his walking from Kentucky to South Carolina when twenty years of age, may be cited. Being a great dealer he made six subsequent trips on horseback. During this long period of activity he had to undergo many hardships and privations. He was once of the pioneers whose pluck and perseverance have been indispensable factors in redeeming the beautiful and fruitful fields we now behold, from the savage wilderness. At this modern period of enlightened civilization we are to apt to underestimate or entirely overlook the work of the early pioneers, without whose heroic and self-sacrificing efforts, all subsequent labor must have been impossible. To these brave souls we owe a debt of gratitude that we can not pay. Few of them yet survivors may posses what while we are pleased to denominate "culture and refinement.", let us not forget that with regard to nobleness of soul and goodness of heart they should not put shams and false distinctions of modern society, and by these virtues demand our utmost respect and homage. In point of intellectual culture Joshua P. Hunt, had but few advantages in the way of school facilities; but in point of broad and general culture which comes from a study of men and things and contact with all phases of life, he ranked high in the scale of life. He had a marvelous memory and could recount with unerring accuracy the varied details of history connected with his own life and the life of his Nation during the time in which he lived. Perhaps the most remarkable intellectual power of this man was invincible determination. Having decided that given course was right he never known to relinquish his effort until his purpose was accomplished. Here, it seems to the writer, was the secret to his wonderful force of character of every man who would achieve successes in any department of life? "A highly cultured character of is little else than a highly cultured will." Joshua P. Hunt had faults no one will attempt to deny; but they were such inferior magnitude in comparison with his many virtues, that latter hid the former dazzling light of the sun obscures the weaker light of the moon. He is gone from among us, but he will continue to live in the hearts of of the many to preached the Gospel of righteousness, and in hearts of the great multitude who derive inspiration from his life and character. | Hunt, Joshua Parker (I6180)
