Julie--this was from Eastman's newsletter this week; did not know if you
receive it or not. I tried it--plugged in Chitwood and got 42 hits.
Varied information but a fascinating site. One particular one of
interest from The New England Magazine 7[1] Sep 1889 p.68 from "The
Haunted Bell" by James K. Hosmer: "...Cotton Mather declares that the
Reverend John Wilson of Boston was grandnephew of an archbishop of
Canterbury and his wife daughter of Sir John Mansfield, Master of the
Minories and Queen's Surveyor. Peter Bulkeley, minister of Concord, had
for his first wife a cousin of Sir Thomas Allen, Lord Mayor of London
and for his second wife a daughter of Sir Richard Chitwood..."

I wrote about Cornell University's online digital history
collection in the Oct. 9, 1999 and August 5, 2000 editions of this
newsletter. However, the "Making of America" (MOA) collection
continues to expand. This week I re-visited the University
Library's online site and found numerous items I had not found
before.
The MOA collection is a major resource for the study of 19th-
century America. While it is not a genealogy collection, it does
provide an insight into the lives of your ancestors. It shows what
the major journals of the period had to say about developments in
politics, literature, and science. While initially created as a
collaborative project with the University of Michigan and funded
by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the new MOA Web site has been
developed with the support of the Library of Congress.
The Making Of America Web site now provides full-text access to
more than 900,000 pages of primary sources in American cultural
and social history. MOA contains some material published as early
as 1815, but the bulk of the collection is focused on publications
issued between 1840 and 1900. It is particularly strong in the
subject areas of education, psychology, American history,
sociology, religion, and science and technology. MOA's 22 serial
titles include the Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, Scribner's, and
