Living distinct lives in the New World, two American authors present striking pictures of their struggles in the land of opportunity. Samuel Sewall’s and William Byrd II’s diaries provide a glimpse into the everyday routines of early American settlers. An accomplished judge, businessman, and printer of Massachusetts Bay, Sewall writes about the developments around him. Likewise, Byrd, a successful planter, slave-owner, and author from Charles City County, Virginia, leaves valuable information concerning his routines in his diary. Even though these two men share the same nation, coastland, and English heritage, their stories are remarkably unique.

Peter Wood’s Black Majority is a social history examining the cause and effects, both explicit and implicit, of the black majority that emerged in colonial South Carolina. His study spans the time period from the settlement of Carolina through the Stono Rebellion, which took place in 1739. He also takes into consideration and examines certain events that took place in the years immediately preceding the settlement of 1670, as well as those that immediately followed, as a direct result of, the Stono Rebellion and their respective relationships to the black majority that existed in the colony. Wood introduces the book as possibly the first real study of this black majority and its impact on the colony in its earliest years. Wood also

Fox Butterfield’s book, All God’s Children: The Bosket Family and the American Tradition of Violence, tells the story of the Bosket family from the time of slavery to the time the book was published in 1995.

Butterfield attempts to show that the causation of such violence has a long and deep history and that, in terms of the Bosket family, it begins in Edgefield County, South Carolina even before their arrival there.

In the lower western plains of Georgia lies a small, but extravagant city by the name of Thomasville, located in Thomas County. Bordering Florida, this small 15 square mile city founded in 1826 provides an array of diverse historical and entertaining sights. For example, the “Big Oak” is the oldest tree in Georgia. Located in the heart of Thomasville this tree dates back to the late 1600s, making the tree over 329 years old! Nonetheless, Thomasville, being the historic city it is, provided a great Confederate role in the Civil War by hosting a prison camp for the Federals.

Soon upon opening the index, which was essentially a record of the family names living in Morris County around that time, I quickly located the name Tuttle S and Tuttle C. Both names gestured towards a map, consisting of both Hanover and Whippany Township. Knowing that Caleb Tuttle was the priority, I learned that he had been living in the historic Littleton district, and, not far from the tuttle property, just up the road in fact, I saw the Haring Property on the map. Not farm from the Haring Farm were two properties labelled as Shelley and Rowe. In other words, by investigating the Tuttle family to serve as a marker when natural landmarks failed me, I learned that the Tuttles and the Harings had lived in Hanover Township, Morris County, during

The first African American Sheriff in Jefferson County was Merriman Howard; he was a Republican (Party of Lincoln). Our family’s connection to the Howard family is that his nephew Radford Howard married Sarah Lillian Jackson, great granddaughter of Delaney and Easter. In an article written in 1937 Mrs. Effie Harrison Snyder gave her description of the time post-Civil War: “Mr. Harrison (papa) was the owner of many slaves and all were good and faithful servants. Only one, Merriman Howard, who became Republican Sheriff of Jefferson County ever gave trouble. He was doing well until influenced by three Republicans who nearly caused his destruction. They made Merriman their tool, but Judge Geo. W. Shackleford, Mr. Dick Truly, Sr and Mr. Harrison (papa) went to his assistance and saved his life. He went to Washington City (Washington D.C.) and until his death was to Mama and Papa most faithful and respectful. Merriman had been papa’s slave. His mother was left free and she herself bought Merriman free for a small sum before the Civil War.” The article was written just before she
