[Cleverly] Actual RevWar card records each listd Surname
by List user
Hi All,
Since one major goal of many of us is our genealogy quest for a
RevWar ancestor patriot, here is a VERY direct method to locate such potential
RevWar ancestors, at least those with a connection to PA (Pennsylvania). To
demo, I will do some searchs to locate such potential Rev War ancestors for some
of 'our' surnames, see below.
When you navigate to the surname you seek, (see further below) you can
view actual PA RevWar card record images for each listed Surname soldier, often
more than one record for each soldier, which also helps to establish proper
identities/ units/ spellings, etc.

There is much here, but follow my path to get where we are going - (then come
back to investigate everything else.)

[Cleverly] Surnames dna testing followup Msg RESULTS!
by Barry Wetherington
Hi again ALL,
Hardly had we posted the dna genealogy msg when back came quite
interesting results for at least one of 'our' Surnames, see the Easterling
report of results below. The Easterling surname genealogy was in part
'measured' by its relationship to the Rev Henry Easterling.
Congratulations Lillie [see her msg below] & the many Easterlings working
in the Easterling-L Rootsweb List:
http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/e/easterling.html
and all others researching.
Lillie, was the current Henry Easterling awaiting the outcome of this for
his next Easterling publication?
Barry Wetherington
PS: I'm also replicating, at the bottom of this msg, excerpts of my prior
msg concerning the new dna database foundation:
"local geneticists are opening a free DNA-based genealogy database to the

http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,595045808,00.html
James Sorenson . . . . The Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation:
http://www.smgf.org "
and some pares down excerpts of our prior Rice msg FYI. bw 3/15/04
I continue to think that dna results will transform genealogy (as well
as many other human endeavors). Once again, unless you need this
online/library/courthouse/cemetery etc genealogical 'quest' as your personal
life pursuit, and although the 'easy' way is not usually the 'best' way,
perhaps we need to reconsider for dna results, which are as easy & near
absolute as now seems humanly possible and conceivable.
"Hi Barry!
The Easterlings have been doing the dna testing and it has been
established that the Kentucky Easterlings and the family of William m.
Easterling of Sc and Arkansas are indeed related to Rev. Henry Easterling.
Good news! It is well worth the testing.
Lillie Easterling"

Hi Lists,

I suspect some of us are reaching the point where we might want to
consider at least applying soon, so our dna can be considered for future
genealogical projects (since it is unlikely any graves will be unearthed, at
least easily, although research into that subject could also be very
interesting. In fact, the recently discussed issue of Peter Wton b1770 being
a son of Wm Wton md Eliz Lewis 1741 could be a very interesting topic for
'our' first such consideration).
We all tend to procrastinate about such things - in fact, I haven't yet
gotten around to doing it - 'it' being ordered and returned my 'inside the
cheek cotton swab' packet to the appropriate dna testers for family tree
determination.
If there is someone or somefew on 'our' Lists that might want to handle
this responsibility, either for a specific surname or names, or for all, pls
'Reply' to me re this message to discuss. Replying does not obligate you for
anything but to discuss it. And maybe the person or persons who get us
started will not need to carry it on.

Highlighted technical terms are explained in the Glossary. Note: a term may

Last updated: 2004 Feb 19
http://www.widomaker.com/~gwk/era/haplotype.htm
The Edmund Rice (1638) Association has a project underway seeking to
discover the ancestors of Edmund Rice and other Rice and Royce families.
(There was a tendency in past centuries to regard these two spellings as
interchangeable.) Y-chromosome DNA analysis offers exciting opportunities to
learn more about early family roots. With the assistance of three genetics
testing labs, we compared the DNA of many male-line descendants of Edmund
Rice of Sudbury and Marlborough and reconstructed the genetic "fingerprint"
or haplotype of our immigrant ancestor (see Table 1). For the details of how
we did this, see the article entitled "How We Obtained the Rice Haplotype"
in our newsletter.
Knowing the haplotypes of Edmund Rice and several other progenitors, we can
now invite all Rice/Royce males to compare your DNA against Edmund's and
against each other's. For those of you who wonder whether you may be his
descendants, such a comparison can help to investigate that possibility. A
match with Edmund's haplotype will confirm that you are indeed related
(though not necessarily a descendant) and will encourage and aid you in
further genealogical research to discover your Rice ancestral line. On the
other hand, a big difference from Edmund would indicate you are not related
to him at all, but might reveal a similarity to other Rices who are related
instead. For male Rices who already have reason to believe you are not
Edmund Rice's descendants, the comparison may reveal whether or not the
separate Rice families have some connection back in the British Isles. In
either case, it should be clear that some conventional genealogical research
will be needed in order to get the most out of the DNA results. Table 1
below has all the DNA results we have obtained to date.
You, too, can participate. We have arranged with FamilyTree DNA (FTDNA) to
offer a 12-locus DNA analysis for a reduced rate of $99 to those who join
our project. (Note: there is a similarly reduced rate for the expanded
25-locus test from FTDNA as well.) If your haplotype matches our
reconstructed haplotype for Edmund Rice, we will be very keen to learn more
about your Rice/Royce ancestral pedigree.
For more information contact our project administrator/coordinator: Bob
Rice.
Results
The following are the DNA test results we have obtained so far. As
additional information becomes available, members of the "other" group may
be separated out into new groups with identified common ancestors. In cases
of ambiguous DNA results, we will depend in part on lineages supplied by the
test subjects for determining how the groups should be constructed.
In Table 1, each line begins with a unique ID. The 4- and 5-digit ID's refer
to FTDNA results; ID's beginning with the letter "S" refer to
Sorenson/Relative Genetics results. Note: ID 1673 in Group 1 includes
results from FTDNA, Relative Genetics, and Oxford Ancestors. We show here
only the results for loci with DYS designations. Note: the table includes
the update to nomenclature for the DYS464 complex introduced by FTDNA on
2003 May 19.
The reconstructed ancestral haplotype, if known, of each group is given as
the first entry in the group, with the common ancestor's name (if known) as
the ID. Individual mutations from the relevant ancestral haplotype are
printed in red boldface. We recognize that mutations are inevitable, given
enough test subjects and/or the passage of enough time since the progenitor.
Nonetheless, these mutations are rare, as the table shows, and the
appearance of any discrepancy between the haplotypes of putatively related
individuals is cause for concern. (See the discussion of Group 2.) The
question is always whether we are so "unlucky" that a rare-but-inevitable
event occurred right here, or so "lucky" that a rare coincidence gave two
unrelated persons very similar DNA. To resolve that question, we need
conventional genealogy (as we do indeed have for the individuals assigned to
Group 1).
Test Verification
Subjects (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, . . . etc)all were tested twice
independently, once through BYU/Sorenson/Relative Genetics and once through
FTDNA. We therefore have cross-checks . . . . .

Deseret Morning News (Utah)
In a move they believe will forever alter the way family history
research
is done, local geneticists are opening a free DNA-based genealogy database
to
the public this week.
http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,595045808,00.html
James Sorenson
The Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation:
http://www.smgf.org
is expected to announce on Monday that it has established a Web site -
www.smgf.org - that allows anyone who has had a simple DNA test to input
information that may link them to their
ancestors, both known and unknown.
Scott Woodward, chief scientific officer for the foundation
established by
Utah billionaire James Sorenson, said the database is the beginning of a
project
his organization will continue to expand in size and scope over time. The
Web
site is designed to build one-sided pedigree charts - or family trees - for
those looking for their paternal ancestors through genetic testing. To use
the
database, participants must undergo an inexpensive mouth swab test done by a
genetic testing company.
Once that procedure is complete, researchers process the saliva sample
through a laboratory and come up with coding sequences that define specific
genetic markers people carry through their Y-chromosome DNA - their father's
bloodline. Those markers can then be entered into the Web site database,
which
searches for links with others whose genetic information matches their own.
Additional information:
Web sites:
Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation

To date, the foundation has catalogued information about the DNA of
more
than 5,500 participants and plans to add as much new information to the
database
every three months as it is able to collect.
Though the scope of the data currently available is limited mostly to
those with West European ancestry - because the vast majority of data
already
collected has come from Americans of European descent - the database offers
the
potential of virtually unlimited expansion into family lines from every
ethnicity on Earth.
As additional people are tested and offer their genetic information -
and
their family history records - to the foundation, the larger the database
will
grow, Woodward said.
While it doesn't circumvent the need for accurate family history
data -
names, birthdates, marriage and death dates, place of birth and other vital
statistics - it supplements such information by providing what many consider
to
be definitive proof of familial relationships: a genetic "match" meaning
people
are related "with a high degree of probability," Woodward said. That
probability
is in the "high 90 percentile."
Available family history data was gathered from all those whose
genetic
information is stored in the database and will be requested from those who
want
to be a part of the database in the future.
The DNA tests are especially accurate for ancestors up to eight
generations back, he said, noting that technology makes it possible to go
back
"even 50 or 60 generations" but cautions that genetic markers become less
reliable the further back they are traced because DNA undergoes slight
alterations over time.

[Cleverly] free anti-virus hacker recommended AVG ZoneAlarm

Hi All Lists,
I've had so many emails about spam/ viruses, etc, that I feel compelled to
advise. I use a free anti-virus, highly recommended by the experts, called AVG.
http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php
Also, to guard agains Hackers, the best one, which I use, & Free, is Zone Alarm:
http://www.uant.net/firewall/zonealarmguide.html
Both are quite painless to set-up & use.
Now coming into play are so called spy programs, where a program is
virus-like sneaked into your program list, and uses your computer & email to
send spam to others. I haven't yet needed an anti-spy program, but an excellent
one, free, is Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.2

in New Haven, New Haven Co., CT.
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~scperkins/hperkane.html
=============================================
WHO ARE THE CLEVERLYS?
A new theory about the origin of the name.
>From The CLEVELY Homepage: An extract from an old book, Chadlington
Hundreds, shows the origination of the name of the hamlet of CLEVELEY (or
CLEVELY) in Oxfordshire, England.
Clivelai (ter) 1194-1221 Winchcombe et passim with variant spellings
Clivele(h), Clivel(e)ia, Cliveley(a), Clyvelye, Clivel', Clivele(ye),
Clyvele(ya) to 1341, Clevele 1319 Winchcombe Clieveley 1587 AD, Clievely
1797 Davis.
"Wood or clearing on a clif," v. le(a)h. In this name clif may mean "river
bank" or "hill slope."
So that's where the names Clevely, Cleverly, Cleveley, Cleverley come from -
or so the texts tell us.
A write-up on the Clevely coat-of-arms (published from the Harvard
University archives) describes the arms as being a silver shield, two black
chevrons each with five gold horse-nails, with a crest of three ostrich
feathers (like the Prince of Wales'). Very elegant. End of story.
I thought I'd draw up the family coat-of arms - problem: what do heraldic
horse nails look like? (I know now because an appropriately named
e-correspondent, Robert Horsnaill, kindly sent me some illustrations of
early medieval horse-nails.) But while I was still searching I discovered a
family in Essex who also used this comparatively rare charge. This is the
description I read of their arms in Papworth:
Argent, on two chevrons sable ten horse-nails or.
It's exactly the same coat-of-arms - which on the face of it means the
individuals bearing these arms were descended in the male line from the same
ancestor. Their name? CLOUVYLE. Not so unlike the hamlet names listed above,
and understandably different given the variations in sound between
Oxfordshire and Essex dialects and hence in the phonetic spelling of the
local priests - who were notoriously barely literate in Latin let alone
Norman-French.
I live in Essex so I looked the Clouvyles up. The family goes back to Sir
William de Colleville (or Clovill or Clonvyle), one of William the
Conqueror's barons at the Battle of Hastings, 1066, who was rewarded with
lands in Essex and Yorkshire. Colvills lived in Colvill Hall at West
Hanningfield near Chelmsford for centuries.
That early history predates the first mentions of Cleveley hamlet, so it
seems more likely that an early Clouvyle had the land from some baron
(perhaps William le Colonna) and gave his name to the village. It was usual
for a younger son, who couldn't hope to inherit, to take service with one of
the great barons in exchange for his own domain (knight's fee). In the
1100s, Philip de Colleville did this with King Malcolm IV of Scotland and
founded Clan Colville. (Use the link at the bottom of the page to read about
your new Scots cousins - didn't you always want to wear your own tartan?)
Colleville is in Normandy (it was Omaha Beach on D-Day, 1944). It was,
presumably, a town (ville) founded by a Viking called Koli (meaning black
hair). Now isn't it a lot more exciting to be named after Blackhair the
Viking than a sloping field?
The arms illustrated here (© Peter Cleverly) are those originally borne by
William de Colleville. The horse-nails are a pun on the family name - clou
means nail and clou de giroflée the spice clove (I am indebted to Carlos E.
Clavell for this insight - see Links below for his extremely interesting
homepage).

IN THE PAST
Gilbert de Colleville and Guillaume de Colleville were "Companions" of Duke
William at the Battle of Hastings - the elite who provided ships, horses,
men and supplies for the venture - (from the plaque in the church at
Dives-sur- Mer, Normandy, France, where William the Conqueror and his
knights said mass before setting sail).
Robert de Coleville and William de Coleville are among the Major Feudal
Barons of the Magna Carta.
Sir John Coleville is a character in King Henry IV part II.
Stephen Cleverly was a Son of Liberty who took part in the Boston Tea Party.
His less famous soldier brother(?) Thomas Cleverly was court martialled for
the heinous offence of playing cards on the Sabbath day: "The Court are of
the Oppinion that Cleverly ride the Wooden Horse for a Quarter of an hour
with a Muskett at each foot. --- Paul Revere, Presid."
"This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in
it! But in this exclamation I would have been as fanatical as Bryant or
Cleverly (a schoolmaster)" in John Adams's letter to Thomas Jefferson on
April 19, 1817
A Thomas Cleverley is named on the Battle of Trafalgar Roll, 21 October
1805, as Able Seaman on the 38 gun Naiad commanded by Capt. Thomas Dundas.
Charles Cleverly was the Surveyor-General for Hong Kong - starting from a
barren waterless island he laid out the town plan and built all the public
buildings, including Government House.
Ludovic, comte de Colleville, published a book on the French orders of
chivalry in 1924.

FAMILY HISTORY INTEREST
The CLEVELY or CLEVELEY Surname Homepage
This page and the linked pages are provided to co-ordinate, to a small
extent, some items and information of interest to persons whose surname is
CLEVELY or CLEVELEY.
These pages and links will mainly be of assistance to those who share the
surname or have ancestral connections to it.
Obviously, the main attraction to investigating such links is for family
history reasons, but the author does not think that it would be appropriate
to use this site to try to list the family history of everyone with the
surname, unless, of course, their ancestor was of some note.
However, it is intended to provide links FROM this site to other persons
with an interest in the surname, or of particular interest. This can simply
be by providing an e-mail address, or it can be used to provide a link to a
family history site (possibly by using the program GED2HTML.exe).
The name CLEVELY might have a historical connection with KLEVE, also Cleve
or Cleves, city, West central Germany, in North Rhine-Westphalia, near the
Rhine R. and the Dutch border. It was built in Dutch architectural style on
three hills. Leather goods, machinery, and tobacco products are manufactured
here. With mineral springs in the vicinity, Kleve is frequented as a summer
resort. In the center of the city is the famous Schwanenburg, or Swans'
Castle, said to have been founded by Gaius Julius Caesar and associated with
the "Knights of the Swan" legend, dramatized in Richard Wagner's opera
Lohengrin. Among other notable buildings is a 14th-century Gothic church.
The city became the seat of the counts of Kleve in the 11th century and
later was the capital of the duchy of Kleve, created in 1417. In 1614 the
duchy, which embraced land on both sides of the Rhine, came into the
possession of Brandenburg. The part of the duchy E of the Rhine was ceded to
France in 1795; the remaining portion was seized by France from Prussia
during the Napoleonic Wars. Both portions were restored in 1815 except for
some small sections that were made part of the Netherlands. Pop. (1992 est.)
46,924.
Remember, too, that one of English King Henry VIII's six wives was called
Anne of Cleeves - any link?
It is also possible that the name was brought to England in the wake of the
Norman Conquest of 1066. Many of the early names recorded in medieval
documents denote noble families but many also indicate migration from the
continent of Europe during, and in the wake of the Norman invasion of 1066.
There was a constant stream of merchants, workmen and others arriving in
England during this time. In 1086 the Record of Great Inquisition of lands
of England, (otherwise known as the Domesday Book) was compiled and a note
of their extent, value, ownership and liabilities was made by order of
William The Conqueror. The names introduced into Britain by the Normans
during the Invasion of 1066 were of three kinds. There were names of Norse
origin which their ancestors had carried into Normandy; names of Germanic
origin which the Frankish conquerors had brought across the Rhine and which
had ousted the old Celtic and Latin names from France, and Biblical names
and names of Latin and Greek saints. These names they retained even after
the customs and language of the natives of Northern France had been adopted
by them. After the Norman Conquest not only Normans, but Frenchmen and
Bretons from other parts of France settled in England and Wales, and quite a
few found their way north into Scotland.
Another reference quotes - "Clevenger is likely an English occupational name
for the wood splitter, from the Old English elements cloefan = to split, cut
+ -er as an agent suffix. (See also Clover). Do realise that doesn't
account for the "g", but there are many names which had intrusive consonants
added as an aid to pronunciation, or by association. For example, the
similar name Cleverly is derived from Old English clif = cliff + leah =
wood, clearing . . . which created Clevely, but is generally found as
Cleverly by association, with the more commonly found word "clever."
Readers of these pages are encouraged to provide relevant information,
either by way of links to other sites, or other information about noteworthy
persons of the surname and its connections.
Contributors should supply an "article" to be added to this page. It need
not be credited on the page to the person supplying the text.

CLEVELY), in the parish of Enstone, which forms part of the English County
of Oxford . You may read here extracts taken from old books regarding, and

Thornton-Cleveleys. This delightful small town is situated at the end of
the tramline about four miles north of the famous English west coast holiday
town of Blackpool (famous for its tower). I made enquiries as to the origin
of its name and have been told by the local authority that the town took its
name from a Mr. Cleveley who moved from Manchester, England, and set-up a
coaching or public house. As is quite common, even today, the premises took
the name of the proprietor (often in place of the actual name, such as The
Red Dragon). As the area developed the name must have "stuck".
There is a concentration of persons with the Clevely (or similar) surname
listed in the Telephone Directories for the area of England around Bristol,
in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire areas, around the River Severn and it
would be interesting to hear from anyone who is from that area.

National Library of AustraliaOn Captain Cook's ship, The Bounty, sailed twin
brothers John and James Clevely. Both were artists who recorded many of the
places, etc. on the voyages.
Quote from N.L.A. "There has been much debate over which Cleveley brother,
John or James, actually painted this and other works ascribed to J.
Cleveley. Traditionally attributed to James, it now seems more likely that
John engraved and painted in oils his brother's drawings and water colours.
An untrained artist, James was a carpenter on the Resolution. John was a
natural history and marine painter, and his twin, Robert, was marine painter
to the Prince Regent. John joined Cook's second voyage on the recommendation
of Banks, possibly sailing on the same ship as James."
A contributor to this site states " My eldest son, while reading a grade
seven textbook last fall (1997), came across a photo of a historical British
Naval painting by a John Cleveley, which prompted me to use the Alta Vista
search engine for further information.
The result was the linking up three generations of the family we didn't know
existed, right back to the late 18th century. John and his twin sons Robert
and James, sailed with such explorers as Captain Cook, acting in their
capacities as carpenters and as naval historical artists to the Princes
Regent.
We followed their activities to (Canada) British Columbia's inception, where
the current Provincial Government Archives feature over 400 of their works.

Mr. C. Clevely,
Monikie,
Dear Mr. Clevely,
I have researched your enquiry and find the following information.
James Clevely (carpenter) sailed on the Resolution on Captain Cook's second
voyage 1776-1780 (reference Beaglehole page 503). He joined the Resolution
on 10th February 1776 and although employed as a carpenter it was stated
that "has a talent for drawing". He made drawings of scenes on the voyage
from which his brother, John, worked up a series of paintings and
lithographs which were published 1787/1788.
The museum has 4 hand coloured aquatint paintings by John Clevely
(1747-1786) who was a well known marine painter. The scene depicting the
death of Captain Cook is thought by many to be the most accurate
representation of that event. The four paintings that are at the museum
are:
1. View of Morea (one of the Society Islands)
2. View of Matavia Bay, Otaheite (Tahiti).
3. View of Huaheine (one of the Society Islands).
4. Kealakekua Bay, Owyhee (Hawaii) showing the death of James Cook.
After a thorough search this is the only information I can find
regarding the Clevely family but I hope it is of some use to you.

Family History Interest. CLEVELEY OR CLEVELY SURNAME
Information of interest to persons whose surname is spelt as either of the
above.
In July, 1979, the BBC ran an arts-TV programme which included some 18th
century marine artists, one being a John Cleveley, the elder, 1712 - 1777.
A painting of his depicting a launching at Deptford Docks, London, was duly
signed at the base of the painting and this prompted me to write to the BBC
for further information, because he and I shore the same surname. They gave
me some useful, linked, information but also referred me to contact the
National Maritime Museum at Greenwich where many 'Cleveley' paintings are
kept.
The museum supplied me with a deal of historical information and invited me
and three of my male cousins to visit Greenwich and view these works, over
100 of them in one form or another! These were painted by John Cleveley the
elder and his two twin sons, John and Robert. There was another son, James,
believed to be the eldest, who was adept at sketching quickly and accurately
but he did not paint scenes as such. Whatever he did of topical interest,
one of his twin brothers would firm up his etchings in a finished painting.
Four of us Cleveleys spent an excellent day at Greenwich, browsing through
many written records on this family of artists, also seeing a great number
of their paintings in a well-protected storage building some distance away.
On returning to our home in Bristol, we were keen to draw up a family-tree
and to see exactly where our genealogy lay. This gave us a direct link with
those London Cleveleys of the early to late 18th century.
It transpired that the issue from John, the elder, eventually established a
wine-merchant business in Southwark, known as Parrot & Co., for which there
is a printed logo to prove this. Three brothers ran the business and it
prospered. However, one of the brothers, Henry, would travel to Bristol
regularly from London concerning imports of sherry in particular as this was
a port famous for its trade with Portugal. In Bristol, Henry eventually met
and married a Dorcas Haskins, which angered his brothers who considered he
had 'married beneath him' - not an uncommon accusation in those days! Henry
remained firm in his resolve however, so his brothers dismissed him from
their business in London. Henry remained in Bristol and settled down there
with his new wife, who was apparently not at all kind to him! She was the
daughter of a builders' merchant who lived in Old Bread Street, close to
where the present giant firm of Gardiner-Haskins now stands. Bread Street
remains in situ to this day, although in a rather dilapidated, unbuilt-up
area.
We are fairly sure that the present Gardiner Haskins grew out of that
building merchants' business because it deals in all manner of building and
electrical goods. There is no firm proof of this, however, and when the
firm was approached about looking up their records, they replied that most
of their historical documents were destroyed in the blitzes on the city!
Coincidence is strong, however but must be left there.
In reading on your site of the Cleveleys living in and around Bristol, we
are convinced that Henry and Dorcas were the 'founder-members' of our
progeny. Most of the Cleveleys found in the local Bristol telephone
directory, for example, are related in some way or another. Those others in
the Midlands, Scotland and beyond, such as Canada, could well have emanated
from any of those London artists and their forebears. We hope to obtain a
direct link with us in the south west with one or more of them.
As for those artists' paintings and etchings, they are all of a very high
standard and it is believed that HM the Queen owns one of John Cleveley's -
the elder - paintings, which probably hangs in Windsor Castle.
I conclude with an abridged version of the National Maritime Museum's
information given to me by letter of July, 1979.
'John Cleveley, the elder, was born approx. 1712, the son of Samuel Cleveley
of Southwark, a joiner. John became a shipwright, married and had twin
sons, Robert and John, whiles living in Deptford, plus another son James.
John died in 1777 and was buried at Deptford on 27th May 1777. His wife was
given charge of all his goods and chattels. The parish of St.Paul's,
Deptford, records his death thus -
'John Cleveley, carpenter, belonging to His Majesty's ship the Victory,
in the pay of His Majesty's navy.'
Twin sons were born in 1747 and John junior also became a shipwright and
received instruction in water colour painting from Paul Sandby, drawing
master at Woolwich!
In 1772 John joined Lord Mulgrave's expedition to the north polar seas and
was also supernumerary aboard the 'Adventure'. Cook's second voyage
1772-75, was as draughtsman to Banks. It is said that John painted a
series of watercolours from the sketches made by his older brother James who
was possibly carpenter on Cook's 'Resolution'. This was Cook's third
voyage, in 1776-80!
Robert became a caulker and outlived his twin brother by 23 years. He was
appointed marine painter to the Prince of Wales, and marine draughtsman to
the Duke of Clarence.
Robert concentrated his painting on marine battles, for which he is
apparently well known .
James' sketchbooks are part of the Sheepshank's Collection at the Victoria
and Albert Museum in London.'
Several books about horticultural matters have been written by Andi
Clevely, many are available for sale through the 'Net and other "bookshops".

Carol (m.s. Clevely) from England -
"My family were all born in Bristol (Avon), England - my great-grandfather
was a pilot on the tug boats, and my Grandmother was a cook (place unknown).
My grandfather was a tanner in Bedminster, Bristol. He died at the age of
48. My Father, apart from being a Royal Marine, also worked at Rolls Royce
in Filton, near Bristol, and died at the age of 60.
We know that Bedminster is where my grandmother and grandfather lived until
after WWII - then they moved to Southmead in Bristol.
I would be appreciate if any person reading this can 'link' to this family,
or provide further information, to contact me. Email - siralecbintos @

by List user
Maps can be an important part of our genealogy research. Below is a Link to
every map ever invented, or almost so, thanks to © Thomas Höckmann & © Mathew
White.
Look to Mathew's comment:
'Remember: history is an intersection of time and place . . . .
So, as Mathew says:
' to find maps of an event, be sure to check both Time and Place. To find maps
of Medieval England, for example, check both the Middle Ages and Great')

PS: Ignore the '#Britain' suffix in this Link. The only map I haven't yet found
is the one I used a month or 2 ago which will produce a dot scattering of
surname concentration in Germany (other places?). Still working on finding it.

... and other less related sites that might be of interest.
I'll never get around to drawing every map that needs drawing, so here are other
maps on other sites drawn by other people. And remember -- these are all
external sites, so don't blame them for problems you may have discovered on my
site, and vice versa.

(*****) Many detailed maps, drawn especially for display on the Internet.
(****) Many detailed maps, apparently scanned from printed sources.
(***) Intermediate number of maps -- say, 4 to 15.
(**) Single map, very detailed. Maybe two or three.
(*) Single map, basic information. May be useful for homework assignments.
(@) Animated maps.
(#) Above-average interactivity.
NOTE: I'm not judging the quality of these maps, only the quantity. I'm trying
to assess the amount of work that went into them and the amount of information
you're likely to get back. And I'm only assessing the maps themselves, not the
non-cartographic information accompanying them on the site. (A one-star map
could easily illustrate a five-star essay.)
Also, my primary purpose here is to locate and link to historical maps (those
which illustrate history) rather than antique maps (those which originated long
ago) -- although there is quite a bit of overlap.
MIA: If a link is tagged with a neon MIA, it means that the last time I checked,
it had disappeared. Even so, I don't want to be too hasty in weeding dead links,
so I'll just wait awhile and hope that it's just a temporary glich which will be
fixed in a jiffy. Those sites that I've entirely given up all hope of ever
seeing again have been moved to my missing links page.
