Home Wilson Bulletin Library Book Sale ... UM Bird Division Alexander Wilson American Ornithology published in 1808-1814, illustrated 268 species, including descriptions of 26 new species. He also conducted the first breeding bird census, in Bartram's garden, corrected earlier errors of taxonomy, and published many observations of natural history. His 1810 meeting with Audubon probably inspired Audubon to pubish his own book on birds, and he also influenced many later artists and ornithologists. He died in 1813.

Was Home of First County Clerk". This article explains the history of "Rock Castle", the home of Capt. Robert Alexander (b Nov 1746 - VA; d 20 Nov 1820 - Campbell, VA), a Revolutionary War veteran who served as the first County Clerk of Campbell County, Virginia. The article includes a number of annecdotes about this man and his family. I have transcribed the full text of the original article below for the benefit of all descendents of Capt. Robert Alexander as well as those in Campbell County with an interest in county history. The Union Star Brookneal, Virginia

ALEXANDER WILSON (1766-1813) American Ornithology; or, the Natural History of the Birds of the United States . Philadelphia: Bradford and Inskeep, 1808-1814. 9 volumes. Naturalist William Bartram, Alexander Wilson's neighbor on the Schuylkill River just below Philadelphia, encouraged Wilson to collect specimens of birds and learn to draw and paint them. Wilson, an ornithologist, produced this comprehensive work, covering the eastern United States north of Florida, based almost entirely on his own observations. The plates were produced by engravings from his own drawings; Wilson colored a sample proof for use as a model by hand-colorists. American Ornithology is a landmark in American natural history.

Sponsored By: PHMC Active Members Contribute! Commission History of Pennsylvania Happy Birthday! ... Environment Alexander Wilson Alexander Wilson was born on July 6, 1766, the son of a weaver. He was a Scottish immigrant, intense and poetic, taught school at Kingsessing, Pennsylvania. Inevitably, Wilson and the very different Bartram met on common ground the Botanic Garden . There he came under the gentle tutelage of the elder Bartram. Wilson's enthusiasm was high, but a lack of ornithological knowledge and training combined with meager artistic abilities left him unformed and undirected until he became John Bartram's "student." Under the patriarch's guidance, Wilson learned to draw, to describe and identify difficult birds, and to understand the scientific literature in the Bartram library. With John Bartram's encouragement, Wilson conceived his grand design to write his American Ornithology Alexander Wilson's journeys in search of birds were many and long, and he traveled well beyond the borders of Pennsylvania. But his base was in Philadelphia: the riches in nearby bird life and the hospitality and resources offered by Bartram and America's then prime metropolis made this area a fruitful source of many of Wilson's bird accounts.

Alexander Wilson Born: 1714 in St Andrews, Scotland Died: 18 Oct 1786 in Edinburgh, Scotland Show birthplace location Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Version for printing Alexander Wilson was educated at the University of St Andrews. After this he was an apprentice to a surgeon in St Andrews, then he moved to London. In 1739 he returned to St Andrews and, in 1742, he set up a type foundry. Two years later he moved to Glasgow where, in 1760, he was appointed to the chair of astronomy, a post he held until 1784. Wilson made many observations of sunspots using a geometric argument to show that they were depressions in the Sun. A similar theory had been proposed by La Hire and by Cassini Wilson also published Thoughts on General Gravitation (1770), in which he attempted to answer Newton 's question What hinders the fixed stars from falling upon one another. Wilson's answer, that the entire universe rotates about a centre, is of course incorrect. He was the first to record the use of kites in meteorological investigations.

ISBN: 1-903468-09-4 check out website: www.bigengine.co.uk T heopolytes, Alexander the Great's most trusted general, is charged with retrieving the treasure of Darius the Persian king and taking it to a secret location. While he is doing this, Alexander dies, so Theopolytes defies the order of Ptolemy, founder of the Graeco Egyptian Pharaonic dynasty and decides to preserve the hoard in preparation for Alexander's second coming. The premise here being that as Alexander's ability to cause destruction, slaughter and conquest on a scale perceived by some to be miraculous, the man must have been immortal. So could Hitler if you believe that - not a pretty prospect. Fortunately, in Alexander's case, there is the hint that this is due to alien interference. The author has an accurate sense of period and place. How accurate, I am not qualified to judge. Inevitably it is difficult to put words into the mouths of characters who lived three centuries BC.

32. THOMAS MCCLURE RICE Ancestors and descendants of Thomas McClure Rice and Elizabeth wilson. Includes surnames alexander, Ames, Baker, Cochran, Courtney, Leech, Mason, McClure and Newman. http://home.swbell.net/txanita/

THOMAS MCCLURE RICE “Elizabeth, pack up the children and belongings. We’re going to Texas!” Thomas McClure Rice heard the call for settlers to come to Texas while living in the Rainbow community just outside of Marietta, Washington County, Ohio. Thomas was probably born there about 1801 and was the only son of Nathan and Jemima (McClure) Rice with two older and two younger sisters. Elizabeth emigrated from Ireland in 1818. This beautiful area where the Ohio and Muskingum Rivers converge was the first organized American settlement in the Northwest Territory. The town of Marietta was formed in 1788 by a group of veterans of the Revolutionary War. It was named after Marie Antoinette, the French Queen who had aided the young country in its battle for independence from Great Britain. Ohio was admitted as a slave-free state in 1803. In a few short years, the area was a major riverboat community, with busy steamboat building yards, brick factories and sawmills . Thomas and Elizabeth married in Marietta on September 28, 1824. Before migrating to Texas, Thomas and Elizabeth had four children. James and Mary L. were born between 1825 and 1829. No confirmed birth dates are available for either. Mary L. could have been named after Thomas’ oldest sister, Luceba. 1830 brought Oliver Hugh (named after Thomas’ grandfather and Elizabeth’s father) and William Wilson was born in 1835. All four of these children were born in Ohio. (Footnote: census records). We know nothing of their trip to Texas. Why did they leave Ohio? Thomas did not inherit any land from his father, only his father’s clothes. During this time in history, the usual thing was for the eldest son to inherit the land. Thomas was the middle of four sisters, no brothers. Who did they make the long trip to Texas with? How long did it take them? Did they travel as a family by riverboat to New Orleans then to Galveston? We might never know for sure. Did Thomas come to Texas and later send for Elizabeth and the children or go back to Ohio to get them?

Ongoing research includes the genetic analysis of complex quantitative phenotypes such as scoliosis, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and obesity, the development of the G.A.S.P. simulation program, the development of statistical methods that address problems involving the detection of multiple trait loci, multiple tests, and new marker technologies, and the investigation of the statistical properties of newly developed methods of genetic analysis using computer simulation. Previous research has focused on the statistical validity and power of extensions to the Haseman-Elston sib-pair test, the development of a stepwise oligogenic segregation and linkage analysis that can be used to identify multiple genetic loci involved in the expression of a single trait, the graphical presentation of results from genomic screening, and alternative methods (moving averages and n-locus clustering) for multipoint linkage analysis.
