Miss HENRIETTA RHODES,

A POETESS, NOVEL WRITER, &C.

This lady, born in the county of Salop, in the year 1756, was the daughter of Mr. Rhodes of Cann-Hall in the borough of Bridgnorth. At an early period of life, although never successfully wooed herself, yet she wooed the muses, and in the opinion of her friends, with no small degree of good fortune. Some of her neighbours, however, supposed that her verses did not rise above mediocrity; although all concurred in excepting her ballads, a taste for which she had cultivated by reading of the famous collection *, published by the late Dr. Percy, Bishop of Dromore. She also edited a work written by her nephew; composed several short and fugitive articles for her friends; and printed a novel with a most romantic name, long after she had left off the style and appellation of a spinster; having for some time back been called Mrs. Rhodes. This lady interposed at the election of members of parlia- ^nent, for the place of her nativity, in 1784, with a generous warmth, in support of a friend; and died at her house in East Castle Street, Bridgnorth, February 28, 1817, in the sixty-first year of her age,

In 2007 Kevin's blog was honored with the Cliopatria Award for Best Individual Blog.

The following is about “Civil War Memory” in Mr. Levin own words: “I blog about subjects related to how Americans have chosen to remember and commemorate their Civil War. Topics cover a range of issues from Civil War historiography to issues in public history and the teaching of history on the high school level. To get a better sense of the range of topics covered on this site I highly recommend browsing the archives by category or by individual tags.

The Problem:
Introduction Census data are among the most useful of all genealogy records available to the family historian, but the records taken before 1850 make it difficult to find birth dates.

The Solution:

CensusMate makes it easy to organize and work with the pre-1850 data -- Below demonstrates this novel timeline format. It shows and explains many examples, and allows downloading of blank worksheets for use with your own data.

The two figures below hint at the way the census data on Henry Haynes and his family are easier to understand and analyze in the timeline format. Go to the examples to see the details ... but first, peek at their suggestions for using the site-->

1810 Census - Snippet of Data
Problems with pre-1850 Census

* Only the head of household is named.
* Ages are bracketed into coded ranges.
* Those age ranges vary from two to 20 years,
* The ranges change from year to year.
* The 1820 census, for example, is modified from the 1810 census.
* And the 1830 census is modified from that.
* Analyzing those data causes errors and confusion.

CensusMate 1810 Census - Timeline Format

Solutions with CensusMate Timeline Format

* Age range brackets are easy to see.
* Range of birth years is shown on the timeline.
* Data can be aligned with other census years to greatly narrow the range of birth dates.
* Data from other sources such as wills, bibles, marriages, or later census can help analysis.
* The combination helps identify unnamed children.
* Math calculations are unnecessary, avoiding errors.
