KB article for Plesk 12 version.
KB article for Linux version of Plesk.
How to deploy Plesk 11 on Amazon EC2 service (Windows)
Release Notes
To simplify Plesk 11 provisioning on cloud infrastructure providers (including service providers offering dedicated servers, VPS, or IaaS), Odin introduces the Plesk AMI image for Amazon EC2 service.
NOTE: All Amazon EC2 instances are assigned two IP addresses at launch: a private IP address (RFC 1918) and a public IP address. These two addresses are directly mapped to each other through Network Address Translation (NAT):
It can cause that some services will not work properly. As an alternative, you can use Windows Azure service for the same purpose: 114648>
Steps to Deploy
Log in to the AWS Marketplace and go to the Plesk with PowerPack product if you would like to deploy Plesk 11 with included Power Pack license or go to the product Plesk - "Bring Your Own License" (Windows) if you already have Plesk 11 license.
Press Continue button.
Choose 1-Click Launch tab and select Region to deploy an instance and EC2 Instance Type depending from your needs (Note: the price is different for different regions). Select default or create new Security Group based on seller settings. Pay special attention to the ports that are required for Plesk : KB391 Which ports need to be opened for all Plesk services to work with a firewall?
And select Key Pair to be used for connection to the instance. (existing Key Pair is required for connection to the Plesk instance).
Read the User End License Agreement and AWS Customer Agreement and click Assept Terms and Launch with 1-Click button.
When instance is deployed – Click Visit Your Software link – the page with your subscription will be opened:
Select "Manage in AWS Console"
Select your new instance and get the Administrator Password. Open the Instance Action menu and choose "Get Windows Password." Use your key pair key to decrypt the password. You do not have to change the Administrator password because it is automatically regenerated for each instance.
(Optional) Apply Elastic IP:
a. Attach your Elastic IP to the instance and wait while it configures.
b. RDP to the instance.
c. Run
(If you do not use Elastic IP, this step is not needed.)
Use the DNS (or IP from the DNS) from the instance information frame to RDP to the new instance.
%plesk_bin%\amazon\amazon_prepare_instance.cmdscript, which is executed upon startup of the first instance, prepares your instance with the next steps:
a. Execute the Plesk cloning procedure.
b. Install Plesk Micro-Updates.
c. Set up the new IP (run
d. Update the key (PowerPack version only).
You can check the log of this script execution:
Now you can access your Plesk instance from your AWS Marketplace subscriptions list by pressing the Access Software link
or with
https://<instance public DNS or IP>:8443. Use Administrator's credentials to login into the panel for the first time.
IP Changing
If the private/public IP pair of your instance is changed due to stopping/starting, or another Elastic IP is attached, please use these steps:
- RDP to the instance.
- Download
amazon_repair_ip.cmdfrom this KB and place it in
%plesk_bin%\amazon\. Check this command file. Please pay attention to the
PASSIVE_PORT_RANGEvalue. It must be the same as for FTP-passive-port-range in your security group.
- Run
%plesk_bin%\amazon\amazon_repair_ip.cmd <old external IP>.
- Reconfigure all external DNS servers used by the hosted domains to match the machine's new external IP.
- Check that all "A" and "PTR" records from the server-wide DNS template point to the new external IP, and check synchronization of changes to all of the domain's DNS zones.

Ok, CIS means straight right?
This is a serious question. Or do straight people just get +0 and aren't on the scale.
CIS means your biological gender matches up with your self-identification of gender. It's not about your orientation.

I call shenanigans on the whole thing. I'm anywhere from -115 to -35, I'm not sure how I should rate some of these. Like for race: do I pick Latino? White? Black? There's no multi-racial category. Also, the attractive scale doesn't make sense either. I know that there's definitely people who find me attractive while there are also others who wouldn't give me the time of day. Overall, it seems like some /b/ bs.

This chart is not mine and I don't take it seriously. That's why I was being sarcastic and rude about the plight of the wealthy elite of Dubai and Saudi Arabia.
I don't really feel motivated enough to create a superior info-graphic chart on something I don't believe in because I ran into information overload and a ethical paradox when I tried to add a category to every part of the body that could be missing [or filled with tattoo thread and steel rings] but still keep the human alive. Then I had to debate on the ethics of someone who is missing limbs against their will or missing limbs because they wanted them gone due to their personal insanity [Matthew 5:30]. Then there's the debate on the true intentions of agenda 21. Either way, it's pointless if we all turn out to be brains in a jar.
So I didn't add any numbers to this chart. Do it yourself.
Once again, I apologize. I've blundered into the problematic
territory of honor shaming, thus opening the floodgates to the
myriad ways one may be disadvantaged upon by it's
staggering shame radius. I forgot to check my piety privilege,
and here we are. I was going to cover the topic in a much
later chapter of my lecture but we've gotten badly derailed
Privilege score of a classy human:
[People love their nationally approved ritual cults +Add points]
[People hate atheists -Subtract points]
Approved traditional ritual cultist
Agnostic Superstitious
Hideous/severe illness.
Sheltered and clean.
Parents provide shelter.
Un-sheltered and dirty.
Local resident that can vote.
Second class prisoner/soldier.
Alien terrorist.
Reveals a true desire to breed.
Reveals no desire to breed.
Silent on desired choice.
Add your nation's carbon print divided by your own.
Subtract by your Body-Mass-Index score.
If disabled were you:
Born disabled [Subtract for each part]?
Intentionally trying to be disabled [Subtract *2 for each part]?
Intentionally trying to be poisoned by banned substances [- all
Just now, I realized that everything in these charts is painfully outdated and the positive and negative scores change according to region.
Let's just assume that anyone who talks about privilege is a stupid racist cunt that hasn't gotten laid because of how annoying they are.

I never did get a chance to comment on this. Although it's way too late and belated; I wanted to give my two cents anyway.
I don't think that anything is off limits to comedians. If they can make it funny then they've the right to use it for material. I mean, that's the point of stand-up comedy anyway... to find humor in life, to laugh at ourselves, to find a way to joke about it. Laughing is a great way of healing.
Also, if you don't care for a particular comedian's comedy then don't watch their shows or go out and see them. It's your choice and you've the option of turning the channel or watching another comedian instead.
This original idea behind this thread was because of the Daniel Tosh rape joke. Let's be realistic here. Daniel Tosh is a very well known stand-up comedian that not only tours the country doing stand-up but also has Comedy Central stand-up specials. On top of this he also has a weekly show called Tosh.O. I don't believe anyone who says that they went to a show of his and had no idea who he was or what type of humor he has. Besides the three reasons I just gave, there's this thing called the Internet that you can use to look him up before you see his show. Or if you're really in a bind, asking other people attending the show is an option too.
Try and keep in mind that none of us were there and there was no recording of what happened. In fact, the story got into the news because a friend of the girl wrote something in her blog about it. And since then, other people (besides Tosh) from the comedy club have come out and said that the account of what happened on that blog is wrong. So I already don't believe what the blog says about what happened. We're not getting it direct from the woman supposedly affected and other people are disagreeing with the story.
Not to mention that you are fair game to any comedian once you heckle them at their shows. It is so unbelievably rude to talk, shout, or yell out to them while they are performing. This is also common knowledge. If you decide that you want to do this -- you deserve anything and everything that comedian says to you. You are interupting a performance and you wouldn't dare think to do this at a broadway show. A comedy show is no different. You are being disrespectful not only to the comedian but to everyone around you that paid for that show.
Lastly, it's not up to the comedian to tailor their show to your needs. It's up to you to determine what type of comedy you find funny. The performer doesn't need to filter their performance for you -- you decide what performance you want or don't want to see. You are not their responsibility. You are your own responsibility.
It's laziness if you are easily offended and don't find out beforehand what kind of comedy a comedian does and then cry foul at their show when their comedy offends you.
That scenario really makes me think of this e-card meme:
There's no reason why any comedian needs to censor themselves for your sensitivity. Comedy will always be subjective anyway. What you find funny might not be funny to the person next to you.
Some of the best comedians are the best because of their ability to push the envelope and make great jokes from some of the most tragic things. That doesn't mean that because they've made a joke that they're taking away any importance of it -- they're just using comedy and laughter as a way to get through it. And personally I think that's a very effective way to do that.
Ok I'm done. Sorry for the really late contribution. <3

As could only be expected, several people have brought up freedom of speech, so I'm going to drudge up this vague memory of a quote I have from way back (assistance in finding the quote's original speaker/author would be appreciated.)
"Freedom of Speech works like this: like Voltaire, I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. You need never worry about the Man hauling you away for speaking forbidden words or concepts, so long as I and others of like mind are vigilant.
"I do not guard your Freedom of Speech from any humanitarian motive, but, rather, from a quite selfish one.
"For, in defending your right to say whatever you will, I also protect
right to mock you mercilessly for saying such silly things!"
I am only a somewhat arbitrary sequence of raised and lowered voltages to which your mind insists upon assigning meaning

As the world's eyes turn to London, the city's street artists have sought out their share of the limelight, writes Conor Sullivan.
An artist who goes by the street name Loretto drew this anti-Olympic piece at Bankside adjacent to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, next to where the torch relay passed on its final lap last week.
The renowned street artist Banksy has also produced some wry observations on the games. One which depicts an Olympic javelin thrower hurling a missile is perhaps a take on the controversial anti-aircraft weaponry that the military has stationed in Bow Quarter, a residential area close to the Olympic Park.

Young people today have to navigate a complex world and a complicated social scene. As law enforcement officers, we want to mitigate the dangers so that teens and young adults can safely enjoy their free time. We urge parents and teens to join us in doing so. Here are some issues to consider.
Unsupervised Parties
Negative attacks, they say, have long been part of politics. In "Going Dirty: the Art of Negative Campaigning" by David Mark, we're told that in the 1828 presidential election, Andrew Jackson's political allies nicknamed John Quincy Adams "the Pimp," a reference to "a rumor that while he was ambassador to Russia a decade earlier, he had coerced a young woman into having an affair with a czar."
From county commissioner to Colorado governor, Jeffco voters face very crowded ballots this year, and as the primary election approaches on Aug. 10, our opinion pages will no doubt become more crowded as well.
Before the usual avalanche of political letters to the editor — and the subsequent phone calls asking why some letters haven't appeared — I'd like to review our policy.
• All letters must be accompanied by a verifiable name, along with information that allows us to contact the author.
Did you ever have a really great teacher? Someone who changed your life?
I've been lucky to have more than one. In elementary school, I wasn't the easiest kid — you could say I was pretty tough. These days I'd surely be diagnosed with ADD (actually, to say I had an attention deficit is a huge understatement). But Mrs. Arnold and Mrs. Ballangee stuck with me. It would have been easy to ignore this rowdy kid, but they put in extra hours, helping me learn what I couldn't have learned on my own. I'm grateful they did.
Legal access to marijuana in Colorado seems to be a constantly moving target. As new medical marijuana laws go into effect in our state, a number of other things are coming together as well.
The Department of Veterans Affairs is considering a more flexible definition of post-traumatic stress disorder at virtually the same time as the state health department is being asked to add PTSD to the list of medical conditions for which medical marijuana could be prescribed. If both these things come to pass, it would liberalize access to medical marijuana for PTSD sufferers.
Wake up, America: Even France gets it
Leaders of the world's 20 industrial economies recently met in Toronto to discuss global economic problems, including the worrisome developments in European sovereign debt. The meetings resulted in a group statement announcing a concerted effort to reduce government spending.
"Advanced economies have committed to fiscal plans that will at least halve deficits by 2013 and stabilize or reduce government debt-to-GDP ratios by 2016," G-20 leaders announced last week.
One of Congress' fundamental responsibilities under the Constitution is budgeting. With large majorities in both houses of Congress, the only hurdle Democrat leaders have in developing and garnering support for the annual budget resolution is themselves.
Yet, this past week House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer officially announced during a speech that Congress will make no attempt to develop and pass a budget this year.
There's something singularly awful about watching the worst environmental disaster in our country's history and knowing that, with all of America's wealth and technological prowess, nothing has been done to prevent the ongoing catastrophe that threatens an entire way of life.
Indiana humorist Kin Hubbard had a problem with graduation speeches: He felt that the really important stuff should be spread out over all four years, rather than saved up for one address at the end.
When legislative budget staffers were looking into ways to balance the state's budget during the 2009 session, they happened onto the fact that Pinnacol Assurance, the quasi-public agency that serves as the insurer of last resort for workers' compensation, had reserves in excess of half a billion dollars more than appeared to be necessary. When legislative leaders suggested taking some of the money to address budget issues, the reaction from Pinnacol, business interests and Pinnacol customers was swift. They said the state should keep its hands off.
In early May, our office learned that four people in the metro area had jewelry and cash stolen from their homes after opening the door to people calling themselves "neighbors." As the weather becomes nicer, watch for this and other door-to-door scams.
Be savvy if approached by traveling home improvement contractors, magazine salespersons, or any stranger who comes to the door. Of course, not everyone who comes to your door has bad intentions. We simply advise a healthy dose of caution and a firm "no" if necessary.
Our children can often bear the brunt during tough economic times. Moms or dads may be out of work. Money is tight. Stress due to financial pressures mounts. The chances of children in at-risk families being victimized tend to increase.
In Colorado each year, more than 50,000 reports of child abuse and neglect are filed and more than 11,000 children enter foster care. In 2009, Jefferson County ranked fifth in the state for the number of abuse and neglect filings. Although that ranking is down a notch from the previous year, the ranking is both alarming and unacceptable.
In 1983, the Baltimore Colts selected John Elway with the first pick in that year's NFL draft. Elway had no interest in playing for the Colts, and said he would play professional baseball if they took him. So the Colts traded Elway to the Broncos for two players and a first-round pick in the 1984 draft. The rest is history.
Since then, Broncos drafts have been pretty ordinary. No big headlines, no huge stories.
Until this year.
Sometimes the story isn't as big a deal as the story about the story. How much different would United States history look if, the day after the Watergate break-in, President Nixon had said, "Campaigns make people do crazy things," instead of getting involved in the cover-up that led to his resignation?
While there is little doubt there is nothing in Scott McInnis' tax returns or John Hickenlooper's charitable contributions that rise to the level of Watergate, the principle is the same. The longer questions persist, the bigger the story gets.
Two weeks ago, my kids returned home from school with new backpacks. The green bags — which more resembled re-usable grocery totes — touted the U.S. census, proclaiming "Be counted" in several languages, with a backdrop of multi-colored hands.
Before Coloradans went to their precinct caucuses last month, it looked like U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and former lieutenant governor Jane Norton were on their way to meeting in a combative and expensive race for Colorado's U.S. Senate seat. What a difference a month makes!
As the Constitutional Convention wrapped up in September 1786, a woman approached Benjamin Franklin and asked him, "Well, doctor, what have we got — a republic or a monarchy?"
"A republic," Franklin replied, "if you can keep it."
With precinct caucuses now in the books, the 2010 election season is officially under way. Caucuses are an important first step in the nominating process, through which each major party selects its nominees for the general election this fall.
With the exception of presidential nominations, there isn't much public attention given to the way parties pick their candidates. It's as though each November we're presented with a ballot listing a Democrat, a Republican and perhaps one or more third-party candidates, with the winner assuming public office.
In the last few years in Jefferson County, we've seen emergencies ranging from wildfires to paralyzing blizzards to a school shooting. Events like these can plunge families into chaos, panic and confusion.
Having an emergency plan ahead of time can help you communicate with, reconnect with, and protect your family. Every situation is different, but if you prepare for a wide range of possibilities, you'll be better equipped to deal with a crisis.
Leave it to voters to prove that they have something to say about elections!

Web editor's note: The whole history of the Emmerson family of Portsmouth, Va., and much more, is found in "The Emmersons and Portsmouth 1785-1965," by J.C. Emmerson Jr., privately published in 1966. The book was distributed among family members, but is difficult to find in libraries. Your scribe also has a MS version of the book, which includes unpublished pictures and notes. I have also a copy of "Burwell Residents of King's Creek: A Plantation in York County Colonial Virginia" by Paul John (1982), a family history which includes descendants of Judge Thomas Emmerson.

First Generation in America
1. THE REV. ARTHUR EMMERSON was born January 26, 1710/11 in Newcastle-on-Tyne, England, and died April 2, 1764, in Accomac County, Va., on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. He married ANNE WISHART on January 9, 1738/39 in the home of her brother James nearby. She was a daughter of THOMAS WISHART and ------ HANDY. She was born March 2, 1714/15 in Princess Anne County, Va., and died September 25, 1766 in Accomac County.
JCE Jr. cites the Louisa Emmerson Papers:
"The Rev. Arthur Emmerson, first of the family to come to Virginia, was the son of John Emmerson of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, and was born in that city January 26, 1710. Receiving his B.A degree from Oxford University in 1733, he went to Antigua in 1736, coming to Virginia in 1737. On March 29 of that year he appeared in court in Accomack County, and took the oaths of government, continuing to serve as minister in the parish until his death in 1764. He was married January 9, l738 to Anne Wishart, daughter of Thomas Wishart of Princess Anne County, in which county she was born March 2, 1715. The ceremony was performed at the home of her brother on the Eastern Shore. He died April 2, 1764, and in the same year administration of his estate was granted to his widow. Her death occurred September 25, 1766. Mr. Emmerson is said to have lived at a place on the Seaside road near Kangotank, since owned by Mr. Lange. Under his ministry a church was erected on Assawoman creek, which survived until 1793, when the Convention granted permission to the vestry to sell their old glebe and purchase another. The ruins of the old church were still visible in l847, when Rev. Emmerson's great grand-daughter, Louisa Emmerson, visited the site in company with Eastern Shore relatives, and heard the following traditions of her ancestor, which she recorded in later years. Under ordinary circumstances a country parish is a barren field in which to look for incidents, and when we seek a history of events occurring more than a hundred years ago, in a small rural district where little or no record has been preserved, the case looks hopeless indeed. Yet, in reference to the present subject, we will mention that about l85O there was to be seen in Accomack County the brick foundation of a church near the Seaside road, with a stream of water nearby called "Old Church Branch." The spot on which the foundation rested, old people said, was Emmerson's Hill, and was sufficiently elevated to deserve the designation of "hill." Tradition said the Rev. Arthur Emmerson selected that site for a church because it was a part of the country destitute of religious privileges, and Old Church Branch was a never-failing stream of water, which made it peculiarly suited for the farmer, planter and fisherman of the district to assemble and meet together to worship Almighty God. From an old family now passed away comes another incident connected with this minister, which states he was sent for from a county on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay to officiate at a marriage, where his grave and solemn manner in performing the service made a lasting impression on many there. The parish he was visiting had been served by one who was too fond of sports, and where marriage and baptismal services were followed with scarcely an interval by the fiddle and the dance, thus robbing them of their sanctity,and so on this occasion, when the minister requested the couple he was joining together in holy wedlock to kneel and receive the benedic-tion, they were amazed at what, for the moment, was regarded as too ceremonious; but after this, said the informer, the minister was remembered as one true to his calling. The ruins of the old church were still visible in 1847, when Mr. Emmerson's great granddaughter, Louisa Emmerson, visited the site with Eastern Shore relatives, and heard the following traditions of her ancestors, which she recorded in later years. (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 11)
JCE also quotes "Record of Family," by Arthur Emmerson II:
"Arthur Emmerson was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, January 26, 1710/11, and departed this life on Monday, April 2, 1764, about 9 at night. Anne Emmerson, his wife, was born in Princess Anne County, in Virginia, March 2, 1714/15. Departed this life on Thursday, 25th September in 1766, about 1 o'clock in the afternoon." (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 11-12)
From the Accomac County Records, 1762:
For L600, Rev. Arthur Emmerson, Rector of Accomac Parish, and Anne his wife, sold to George Scott both of the above tracts (150 acres near Kicktank and Assawoman), "Except one acre of which is to be and remain for the use of the said Arthur, his heirs and assigns forever, for a burial ground, it being where the burial place now is." JCE writes: "Presumably, Arthur and Anne are buried in the reserved acre. It is doubtful that their tombstones are now in existence, as they do not show up in a WPA Tombstone Record Survey made a few years ago."
JCE continues:
"Of his antecedents, nothing is certain. The following information may be relevant: "The Mayors and Lord Mayors of Newcastle upon Tyne 1260-1940" by C.H.H. Blair reoprts on page 66 that in 1639 a John Emerson was sheriff; his arms azure on a bend silver three roundels gules - (VIII, 4.) He was son of George Emmerson of Ludwell in Weardale, yeoman; apprenticed to Robert Bewicke, boothman, 11 June 1616; admitted 1627; in 1625 was living at Hamburgh in his master's service; governor of the hostman's company 1660-61; buried in St. Nicholas Church, date unknown."
Children of ARTHUR EMMERSON and ANNE WISHART named in the "Record of Family" and all born in Accomac County are:
i. JOHN EMMERSON, born October 27, 1739; died July 11, 1759. Baptism: December 9, 1739.
ii. THOMAS EMMERSON, born August 14, 1741; died October 20, 1750. Baptism: September 13, 1741
2. iii. REV. ARTHUR EMMERSON (II) ., born August 31, 1743; died 1801, Portsmouth, Va.
3. iv. ANNE EMMERSON, born August 13, 1745.
Second Generation
v. WILLIAM EMMERSON, born July 15, 1747; died February 29, 1780; m. HANNAH --------- of Maryland. Baptism: September 6, 1747.
Memorandum found in Louisa Emmerson papers:
William Emmerson - 24 July, 1749 - 29 February, 1780. Wife Hannah to have the whole estate until my children arrive at lawful age to marry, she to bring them up. When my son becomes of age, I give him the plantation where I now live - wife and two children, Arthur and Anne Emmerson, resid. legatees, wife executrix with John Teakle. Louisa Emmerson noted: "Of their children who reached maturity, William married in Maryland, and the male descendants of his name have been extinct for many years."
vi. JAMES EMMERSON, born October 20, 1749; died January 15, 1776. Baptism: December 3, 1749.
JCE notes that the death date notation for James "Departed this life the 15th Jany 1776" is struck out in the Record of Family kept by Arthur Emmerson II (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 18) as is the same record for his sister on p. 20 JCE cites the William & Mary Quarterly II, vol. 5 1: 32: "James Emmerson attended William & Mary June 9, 1760 - March 19, 1762." The college is in Williamsburg Va.
vii. MARY EMMERSON, born May 13, 1752; died January 15, 1774. Baptism: June 14, 1752.
2. REV. ARTHUR EMMERSON was born August 31, 1743 in Accomac County, Va., and died 1801 in Portsmouth, Va. He married ANNE TAZEWELL NIVISON on November 28, 1770, in Brunswick County, Va., daughter of WILLIAM TAZEWELL and SOPHIA HARMANSON. She was the widow of the Rev. William Nivison, and mother of his two sons, John and William Nivison, who were closely associated with their step-family. They grew up to become prominent Norfolk merchants, and are buried in St. Paul's Church Yard there. She was born October 26, 1738, and died August 3, 1802, in Portsmouth. His baptism: October 9, 1743. He was originally buried on the grounds of Trinity Church, then reinterred with his wife in the family plot in Accomac County in 1828.
JCE cites the Louisa Emmerson Papers:
ARTHUR EMMERSON, the second of that name, was born in Accomac County, Virginia, August 31, 1743. He was educated at the college of William & Mary, and in 1768, visited England, where, on the 25th of September of that year, he was ordained Deacon, and on the 29th of that same month and year, to the office of Priest in the Church of England. From Bishop Mead's "Old Churches," we see that the subject of this notice was pastor of St. Andrew's Parish, Brunswick County, in 1773 and 1774. In 1770 he was married in Brunswick County to Mrs. Anne Nivison, daughter of William Tazewell. Later, he was connected with Meherrin Parish of the same county, as pastor and teacher, where he continued until peace was established, when he was called to Suffolk, in Nansemond County. This probably was in the year 1783. In 1785, he moved from Nansemond to Portsmouth, Norfolk County, where the pastoral office, in connection with a school, engaged his time and attention until the close of his life. He died in Portsmouth in 1801, aged 59 years.(Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 19)
He taught school as well. JCE cites William & Mary Quarterly III:
Rev. Arthur Emmerson advertised in 1785 a schoolin Nansemond County for instruction in Latin, Greek and French and Italian languages -- number of scholars not to exceed twenty. Price of board and tuition L50 a year; particular attention to reading, writing and declamation." (JCE MS)
JCE also cites an unidentified clipping:
"The Rev. Arthur Emmerson appears to have taught at the College of William & Mary during the 1769 term, then to have been assigned to St. Andrew's Parish in Brunswick County, where on November 28, 1770, he married Mrs. Anne Tazewell Nivison, widow of the Rev. William Nivison. Later he was in charge of Meherrin Parish, set off from St. Andrew's in 1753. (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 28)
JCE also cites Trinity Parish Record:
"Upon arrival in Portsmouth in 1785, he made his home at the Glebe Farm, located at what is now Port Norfolk. He was the third rector of the parish. The house on the Glebe being in an uncomfortable condition, and Mr. Emmerson in a feeble state of health, he purchased a house and lot adjoining the church in town, the same on which his descendants, through his youngest son, Arthur, now (1855) reside. (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 43)
From the Louisa Emmerson papers:
Thirty years ago so of the old people of this community would relate what they knew and heard of the Pastor whose work and life ended at the beginning of this century. It was gathered from these old citizens that the Rev. Arthur Emmerson was a 'bookish man, with strong powers of concentration, and, as a consequence, unobserving and absent-minded, industrious and methodical.'
From the Trinity Parish Record:
He spent the remnant of his days in the faithful discharge of his ministerial duties, as far as his health would allow. He is spoken of by those who knew him, that are now living (1855) as a truly pious man and consistent Christian, but being always in very delicate health he was unable to perform much active labot, and resorting to his books for instruction and recreation, he fell into the habit of inattention to small matters and became proverbial for his unobserving and absent manner. .. .He was buried under the present doorway of Trinity Church, which was the chancel of the old church, but when the church was enlarged and changed (1828) his body was removed to Accomac County, and placed by the side of his wife. JCE MS; (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 22)
Children of ARTHUR EMMERSON and ANNE TAZEWELL are:
4. i. JUDGE THOMAS EMMERSON, born June 23, 1773, Lawrenceville Courthouse, Brunswick County, Va.; died July 22, 1837, Jonesboro Tenn.
ii. ANNE EMMERSON, born January 27, 1776; died January 13, 1777. Baptism: April 4, 1776.
5. iii. CAPT. ARTHUR EMMERSON, born January 31, 1778, Brunswick County , Va., now Greensville County ; died June 7, 1842, Portsmouth, Va.
iv. HENRY TAZEWELL EMMERSON, born January 14, 1780. He may have died young, as there is no mention of him in his father's will, written in 1801, when he would have been 21 years old.
v. LITTLETON EMMERSON, born about 1783; died 1817, in Tennesee.
LITTLETON EMMERSON went to Tennessee with his brother, Thomas, and died unmarried in 1817. There is little information about him available, save the references to him in his father's will, and in letters of Thomas to Arthur. (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 48) JCE quotes a letter from Judge Thomas Emmerson to Capt. Arthur Emmerson Knox County, Aug. 20, 1803: "As Littleton is so nearly of age, I think it would be best to defer buying land til then , when he should chuse what part of the country he should like to have it in. If it was bought now and he he should not like the situation, he would sell it as soon as he came of age & probably at a loss. He seems at present quite undetermined as to the place where he will settle, either in this state, Louisiana or Virginia. He says he shall go to Norfolk next spring. I don't know the reason, but I think he likes that part of the country better than any other. I have very little hope he will ever do well; I think in one year after he comes of age, he will get through his property. (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 64)
3. ANNE EMMERSON was born August 13, 1745 in Accomac County, Va. She married JOHN UPSHUR in 1763 in Northampton County , Va. He was born September 17, 1741 in Accomac County. Baptism: September 22, 1745.
JCE cites Louisa Emmerson Papers: "Anne, who married Mr. John Upshur, of the same county; she died young, leaving one son and two daughters. One of these daughters married Mr. Edmund Bailey of the same county, the other was married to Mr. Littleton Dennis, of Maryland, and the son married Miss Martin, of the same state, and from whom the Maryland Upshurs are descended. The descendants of the Baileys, as far as it is known, are in Virginia, while most of the Dennis family are in Maryland." (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 18)
Children of ANNE EMMERSON and JOHN UPSHUR mentioned in the Louisa Emmerson Papers are:
i. RACHEL REVELL UPSHUR, born May 24, 1771, Northampton County, Va.
ii. JAMES UPSHUR, born November 10, 1766, Accomac County, Va.
iii. ELIZABETH UPSHUR.
Third Generation
4. JUDGE THOMAS EMMERSON was born June 23, 1773, in Lawrenceville Courthouse, Brunswick County, Va., and died July 22, 1837 in Jonesboro Tenn. Baptism: June 25, 1773. He married (1) RACHEL BURWELL February 7, 1795, daughter of JAMES BURWELL and ANN JONES. She was born at King's Creek plantation, in York County, Va. in about 1773 and died April 22, 1832. Orphaned as a young child, a relative recalled that she was brought up in the family of Bishop James Madison, president of the College of William & Mary at Williamsburg, where Thomas was a student. (Burwell Residents of King's Creek, p. 57-1) He married (2) CATHERINE JACOBS. She was born November 19, 1789, in Wilkes County, N.C., and died December 10, 1858, in Jonesboro, Tenn.
JCE cites Louisa Emmerson Papers:
THOMAS EMMERSON was born June 23, 1773, in Brunswick County, Va. He was educated at William & Mary college, and on the 7th of February, 1795, was married to Miss Rachel Burwell, of York County. She had been left an orphan at an early age, and was brought up by her cousin, Bishop Madison, president of the college, who performed the wedding ceremony. Thomas Emmerson and his wife moved to east Tennessee soon after their marriage, and located at Knoxville. After some years they went to Jonesboro, at which place he purchased a farm and carried out many experiments in agriculture, more for his own gratification than pecuniary interest. They had five children. Thomas Emmerson entered the practice of law in Tennessee, and after having filled some of the highest judicial positions in that state, he left the Supreme bench in consequence of ill health, several years before his death. Mrs. Rachel Burwell Emmerson died April 22nd, 1832, aged 55. Thomas Emmerson later married Catherine Jacobs of Jonesboro, who survived him 21 years, dying in 1858. there were no children by the last union. Thomas Emmerson died July 29, 1837, at the age of 64 years. (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 48)
JCE recalls:
He was an officer in the artillery company mustered by his brother, Capt. Arthur Emmerson His home was a brick dwelling at the back of the family lot, but facing King Street. It survived until about 1897. I do know (from my father) that Thomas Emmerson built it. On the east side, built into the wall with blue bricks, was "T E." I think it was grandpa's brother. My father pointed out the TE and said (Thomas) built it, and put the initials as above, they were very large letters and spread across the entire side of the house. (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 50-51)
In Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 169, JCE cites "Biography of Thomas Emmerson" by Henry Fielding Beaumont, published in "Virginia Magazine of History and Biography (1905), Vol. 12, p. 209:
Judge Thomas Emmerson came to Tennesee in 1800. He was a member of the District Court of Virginia, even though he was then only 27 years of age
Children of THOMAS EMMERSON and RACHEL BURWELL are:
6. i. ANNE MADISON EMMERSON, born December 28, 1795; died November 5, 1821.
ii. ARTHUR BURWELL EMMERSON, born February 23, 1799; died August 17, 1823, in Virginia.

v. THOMAS BACON EMMERSON, born August 4, 1811; married ELIZABETH ATHENIE GREEN, August 21, 1833, Jonesboro, Tenn. He died in 1858.
JCE cites biography of Judge Thomas Emmerson by Henry Fielding Beaumont, of Atlanta (1905)
Judge Emmerson left a son, Thomas II, who married a Miss Green of Washington County, and by whom there are living today Ada Emmerson, granddaughter of Judge Emmerson, who married E.A. Broyles of Knoxville; and John L. Davis, a wealthy coal operator of the same place, a cousin of hers, but with these exceptions there are no descendants of Judge Emmerson. (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 170)
JCE cites Louisa Emmerson Papers:
Mrs. Rachael Burwell Emmerson died April 22nd, 1832, aged 55 (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 48) JCE also includes in his book (p. 277) a letter from her grandaughter Emily L. Jarnigan, describing the family's situation after the War Between the States, and on p. 280, another from Kate S. Murrell, a cousin.
JCE cites a newspaper clipping reporting the death of Judge Emmerson's widow:
Mrs. Thomas Emmerson died Dec. 10, 1858. DIED - at her residence at Jonesborough, Tenn., Friday the 10th of December, 1858, Mrs. Catharine Emmerson, age 69, 21 days. Mrs. Emmerson was the daughter of Mr. Duftie Jacobs and relict of the late Judge Emmerson, and was born in Wilkes County, N.C. on the 19th day of November, 1789. From North Carolina she removed with her father to Jonesborough in 1796. On the 8th of March 1832 she was married to the Hon. Thomas Emmerson. (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 238)

JCE cites "Eminent & Representative Men of Virginia & the District of Columbia of the Nineteenth Century," (1893):
Captain Arthur Emmerson . . who was among the useful citizens of Norfolk County, Virginia, was born in Brunswick County (now Greensville County) in 1778. He located in Portsmouth with his father in 1785, and was educated with the object of entering the Episcopal ministry, but later gave his attention to the study of law, and finally concluded that the sea was his vocation, which he adopted and followed for 20 years. In 1798 while on the ocean, his ship was captured by the French and taken to France, where he was detained one year. In speaking of this event in his after life, he would say the only hardship was being away from his home, while the compensation was learning the language. In 1805 he was married to Mary Ann Herbert, daughter of Thomas Herbert, of Norfolk County, whose farm and residence are now the Gosport Navy Yard. they had a family of twelve children, only four of whom reached maturity; the eldest, Thomas, died in 1837; Arthur died in 1870, John in 1885, and one sister (Louisa Emmerson) survives these brothers. When in 1809, the Congress of the United States passed the "Non-intercourse Act," which caused the Merchant Marine to withdraw from service, Capt. Emmerson gave his attention to surveying land, and about this time he organized an artillery company in Portsmouth, of which he was elected Captain, and as such served his country through the War of 1812. His company was actively engaged at Craney Island. He was for 25 years preceding his death called on to fill various offices by the citizens of his town and county; his home was where his father lived and died, near Trinity Church, of which his father was rector, and when this church was reopened in 1821, Capt. Emmerson was elected vestryman and warden. After his death, his son Arthur filled the same office until his death, and Arthur's brother John was in the same office until 1880, when he resigned. (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 49)
He was put forward as a candidate for Congress without success. JCE cites Louisa Emmerson Papers:
In the fall of 1834, the Whig Party of the 2nd Congressional District selected Capt. Emmerson to oppose the Democratic candidate for Congress. With but little hope of doing more than keeping the party together, he agreed to accept the nomination. The result was as expected, the election of the Democratic candidate. JCE cites an unnamed published source drawn from an account of her father's career by Louis Emmerson details his seafaring career; letters and voyages (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 148-49, to p. 158)
John C. Emmerson recalled:
I don't know how tall grandpa was, or his weight, but he was a very large man, and active. It was said, he could reach up and get his fingers on a window sill, he could climb in. Grandpa's office was a small brick building up against the church wall ... Back of the office was a shed, Dumb Ned's house. Dumb Ned was grandpa's body servant. When grandpa died, Dumb Ned went to the foot of High Street and dived overboard, and was never seen again.
I have heard father say that when grandpa's friends asked "How are you today, Captain Emmerson," he always answered, "Physically all right, financially sick."
Grandpa died in 1842. After the War they found several five-gallon demijohns of the best French brandy-- over 20 years old at least. Grandpa evidently brought them from France and hid them.
Our books were in the office during the War, and the Yankees did not steal them-- the negroes told them that the office was the "dead house" for the church yard. (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 195, and MS)
JCE cites the Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume II VIII -- Prominent Persons
CAPT. ARTHUR EMMERSON was born in Brunswick (now Greensville) county, Virginia, in 1778, son of the Rev. Arthur Emmerson (q. v.) and Anne Nivison Tazewell, his wife, daughter of William Tazewell. In 1785 he was in Portsmouth, with his father. He was educated for the church, later studied law, and finally took to the sea, which he followed for twenty years. In 1798 his ship was captured by the French, and he was held prisoner for a year, during which time he learned the language of his captors. In 1809 he busied himself as a surveyor. He organized an artillery company in Portsmouth, and commanded it during the war of 1812. At various times he filled all important local offices, and at his death was clerk of the county court. He married Mary A., daughter of Thomas Herbert, of Norfolk county. He died January 7, 1842. (The Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 196)
The family bible and the Trinity Church Parish Register also contain the records of eight children who died in infancy.
Surviving children of ARTHUR EMMERSON and MARY HERBERT are:
i. THOMAS EMMERSON, born September 3, 1808; died August 19, 1837.
The only available record of Thomas, beyond the dates of birth and death, is the recollection of John C. Emmerson, of having heard that his uncle went West as an Indian agent, and that "he was highly regarded by the Indians." (The Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 196)
JCE comments:
A family tradition that Thomas Emmerson served with the Indian Office receives no support from the National Archives; it seems that Thomas, with his uncle Littleton, must remain for the time one of the "mystery men" of the family.
JCE cites a clippping from a newspaper, The Beacon, of Sept. 20, 1837:
Departed this life on the 19th of August, near Grand Gulph, Mississippi, of congestive fever, Mr Thomas Emmerson, eldest son of Arthur Emmerson Esq., in the 27th year of his age. (The Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 202)
ii. ARTHUR EMMERSON IV, born June 1, 1817, Portsmouth Va.; died December 15, 1870, High Street, Portsmouth.

In 1840, Capt. Arthur Emmerson (III), a magistrate of Norfolk County residing in Portsmouth, was elected Clerk of the Court to fill a vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr William H. Wilson. Judge Baker at the same time appointed Arthur Emmerson Jr (IV) clerk of the circuit court in the same county, and Arthur Emmerson Jr, becoming his father's deputy, was thus at the age of 23 chosen to fill a very responsible position. In 1842, Capt. Emmerson died, when his son was elected by the magistrates to fill the office of Clerk of the County Court. Mr. Emmerson's school days were passed in his native town During the Civil War, when Norfolk County was evacuated by the Southern soldiers, he remained by the records until Norfolk and Portsmouth passed under military control, and he was removed by the military governor of this district. . In December 1864, he declined to take the oath required by the Federal Government, and left his home for the Confederacy. Mr. Emmerson died at his home in Portsmouth December 15, 1870. (The Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 198)
Arthur IV was apparently imprisoned in Fortress Monroe, he then joined brother John and family in Pulaski. (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 265; see here a letter in which he puts his affairs in order before trouble with the Federal authorities.)

Funeral at Trinity Church,resolutions and tributes Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 312
JCE recalls his father's description of Arthur IV's death:
"I don't know the date, but Uncle Arthur lost his office to a carpet-bagger, I think it was to Brady, an Irishman. He then took the old office as his. He was going up the steps, about three of them, to the office of Judge C.W. Murdaugh (don't think he was judge at the time) just before he opened the door he fell to the ground - apoplexy. (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 268)

The death of Miss Louisa Emmerson, which occurred at 7 o'clock yesterday evening, cast a shadow over the lives of a large number of our citizens, to whom she was so well and favorably known for many years. Miss Emmerson was the daughter of Capt. Arthur Emmerson and granddaughter of the Rev. Arthur Emmerson, who was rector of Trinity Church from 1785 to 1801. She was born in Portsmouth December 21, 1819, and spent her entire life of 88 years in her native city. At the time of her death, she was the oldest member of Trinity Church by baptism and confirmation. She was noted for her charities, her Christian character, her amiability and unassuming modesty. Possessing a remarkably well stored mind and pleasing conversational ability, she was always a favorite in social life, with the young and old. The funeral service will be held at the family residence, at 421 High St., on Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock. (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 332.)

JCE Jr. cites Eminent and Representative Men of Virginia, etc. (1893):
Mr John Emmerson, like his father, was called to offices of a miscellaneous nature... this gentleman's calling was steam engineering, which he is said to have understood thoroughly, and which no doubt gave his mind that bent and disposition to investigate scientific subjects, to which he was inclined through life. During the War Between the States he entered the Signal Corps and was afterward commissioned Captain and sent to supervise the commissary department in Southeastern Virginia, where he was at his post when the war ended. He died at his home in Portsmouth in 1885, aged 64. A widow and four children survive him. He married in 1859 Susan Barron Cocke, daughter of Charles Leonard Cocke. (The Emmersons and Portsmouth, p 199)
In recording John Emmerson's military service, JCE cites Stonewall Camp, Records of Confederate Veterans:
"He entered the service of the Confederate States in March 1862 in Norfolk, Va., as a corporal in the Independent Signal Corps, commanded by Major James F. Milligan, and in the same year was promoted to Commissary with the rank of Captain, in Col. Archibald C. Godwin's regiment, the 57th North Carolina Infantry, in which he served until 1864, when he was transferred to the Department of Southwest Virginia, where he served until the close of the war. (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 246)
JCE recalled:
Before going to Pulaski, the family was in Sussex - sister Annie was born there, in Dr. Brigg's home, I think, they also satyed at a Mr. Overton's, near Stony Creek - that was when my father was in the Signal Corps. Afterwards, in 1864, the family went to Pulaski. Major Cloyd was in the commissary department. (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 247)
He also recalled:
My father seems to have traveled right much in the early days. He and Aunt Lou went to Florida in a stage coach. She said she brought the magnolia tree home in her hands, and it was 65 years old -- and that was several years before she died in 1907. According to his son, John Emmerson was, at some time between leaving the railroad and going with the Bank of Virginia, engaged in the mercantile business in Lynchburg prior to the War Between the States. (The Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 199)
John Emmerson was nine years old when the first American railroad began operation; 13 when the first locomotive of the Portsmouth and Roanole Rail Road made its maiden run to Suffolk. After serving an apprenticeship in the local railway shops he became a locomotive engineer, operating engines of the Portsmouth & Roanoke and Wilmington& Weldon railways. Once when my father was engineer for the Portsmouth & Roanoke, he said that he missed the Coast Line at Weldon by a few minutes, so he followed the Coast Line (without orders) and overtook it 19 miles away, which he made in 22 minutes, and delivered the mail. An engineer who would do that today probably would be charged with attempted murder. (The Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 200)
JCE cites his father's memories in "My Father," recollections of John Emmerson by John C. Emmerson:
I have heard Aunt Lou say that my Father would not go to school. On one occasion a servant took him in her arms and carried him there bodily, that, I presume when he was a mere child. I have heard him say that he did not know one rule of English grammar, yet he spoke correctly and was a fluent conversationalist -- he could entertain a room full of company -- Arthur had his talent in this particular. His handsome writing was like steel engraving, you have seen it in his books, I presume. He had a wonderful memory. He handed me one day Pope's "Essay on Man," then repeated the first chapter, I having it before me; could say it was almost perfect; and he said he had not read it for twenty years. He could quote Byron, Shakespeare by the hour, Burns, Milton and many others. Aunt Lou read history, I don't believe he did. He read everything, poetry was his favorite reading; he, I believe, was the best self-educated man I ever knew, as a conversationalist he had no equal. If I could tell the war stories he and O.V. Smith used to tell, it would fill a shelf of books.
My father's activities in Pulaski during the war were highly praised by Major Cloyd and all the people up that way -- before going to Pulaski he was in the Signal Corps, up James River. My father never "beat around the bush" -- straight out -- you always knew how he stood on any subject. About 1871 or 2, the Democratic Club induced him to join. He did not wish to do so, but he did. They had a meeting at the "Old Bazaar," at the southwest corner of High and Dinwiddie streets. During the meeting, speeches &c, he offered a motion that no member would accept any public office. It almost created a riot; it turned out that everybody there except him, was after office. He resigned that night. My father said that the Emmersons never kept accounts against each other, he could use Uncle Arthur's bank account as his own and vice-versa. Am not positive, but believe he never bought anything that he did not have the money to pay for -- never made a note.
My father was what we now call quite a "wisequacker." At a 'fair' once, Mrs. D. J. Godwin (a local lawyer's wife, partner of Judge Crocker) asked him to get her a chair, which he did. As she took her seat, she said, "You are a jewel." "No," he replied, "I am a jeweler. I have just set the jewel." I have seen this in print since, but I am sure it is original. You remember Mary Bingley -- her father was a no-account somebody, lazy and would not work. My father was at one time an engineer on the locomotive and worked Sundays. "Uncle William," as I called Mr. Bingley (no kin) urged him to stop. My father said, "Uncle William, I'll make a bargain with you and keep the Fourth Commandment. If you'll work six days, I'll rest the Seventh." The subject was never discussed again. There is not much more to tell you of my father. He was a mechanic in the Portsmouth Railroad shops, then an engineer on the P & R and the Wilmington and Weldon, then conductor in Lynchburg, and had a store there next; then, as far as I know, note clerk in the Virginia State Bank, then the War. My father told me that some day we would have wireless communication. That prediction has been fulfilled; at the time I was doubtful. He got his idea from this story: The Hindus of India told the British the day that Waterloo was fought that a great battle had taken place in the West. His idea of heaven was that when we pass away, the mysteries of life and the universe are all cleared up. I have heard him say -- and many times: "I wait all winter for summer and all summer for winter." (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 328)
A local paper noted the passing of Susan Barron Emmerson, who died Dec. 25, 1926:
Mrs. Susan Barron Emmerson, widow of John Emmerson, died at 1:25 o'clock yesterday at her residence, 421 High St. she was a member of Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church, was a prominent worker, and had a large circle of friends and acquaintances. She is survived by two daughters, the misses Annie and Mary Emmerson; one son, John C. Emmerson, six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Mrs. Susan B. Emmerson, widow of Capt. John Emmerson, was one of the city's oldest residents, having reached the advanced age of 86 years. She was a woman of strong personality, great force of character, and throughout her lifetime, led in all she undertook. Her activities had been over a period of years, antedating the Civil War. She died in the old Emmerson home, in which she had lived for years and years. (Emmersons and Portsmouth, p. 334)

Search billions of records on Ancestry.com Louisa Emmerson 1819-1907
Louisa Emmerson, only surviving daughter of Capt. John Emmerson, never married. "Aunt Lou was housekeeper, and not a very good one, I'm sure" wrote her nephew John. "There must have been several servants, and from my knowledge of Aunt Lou, they must have practically had charge."
She passed most of her life in Portsmouth, remaining at home during the Yankee occupation of the town.
She was deeply involved with charitable and church work, preserving family letters and documents, and writing her reminiscences of the people and places she knew well over her long life, for which those who come after her are grateful.
Family historian John Cloyd Emmerson Jr., no slouch himself in the area of family and local history, dedicated his 1966 Emmerson family history' 'The Emmersons and Portsmouth' to her memory.
In l847, she made a journey to the Eastern Shore of Virginia in search of relics of her great-grandfather, the first Rev. Arthur Emmerson, who immigrated to the Virginia colony from Newcastle-on-Tyne England in 1736. She visited the site of his home in company with Eastern Shore relatives, discovering the brick foundations of the old church near Assawoman Creek.
'If I were able' she wrote,'I would build on Old Church Branch a monument to the memory of Arthur Emmerson and Anne Wishart, his wife ...'
She also maintained the family's correspondence with Judge Thomas Emmerson, who departed Portsmouth for Tennessee, and chronicled the multi-faceted career of her father, Capt. Arthur Emmerson III.
She traveled also to New York City and Florida. She is said to have cradled a 65-year-old magnolia in her lap on the return journey from Florida, by stage coach, and to have planted it at the family home.
She died at home May 24, 1907. The local papers noted:
"The death of Miss Louisa Emmerson, which occurred at 7 o'clock yesterday evening, cast a shadow over the lives of a large number of our citizens, to whom she was so well and favorably known for many years. Miss Emmerson was the daughter of Capt. Arthur Emmerson and granddaughter of the Rev. Arthur Emmerson, who was rector of Trinity Church from 1785 to 1801. She was born in Portsmouth December 21, 1819, and spent her entire life of 88 years in her native city.

Possessing a remarkably well stored mind and pleasing conversational ability, she was always a favorite in social life, with the young and old."
Here she is photographed very late in life, with the maid who attended her until her death.

Info from a footnote member re:LEWIS'
Glad to hear from you. I will recheck the message that I sent to you and see if there is anything else to note. I did visit Uniontown this past week and did read two of the Orphan's Court records that Mrs. Patton had noted in her research. I may return and print out the records from the matching microfilm copies. We ran out of time. I had not found the record of the mentioning of Samuel M Lewis and his wife Frances. It will take more searching. Mrs. Mary Jane Kennedy Patton was born in 1878, making William S Lewis her great grandfather. She had more family knowledge and stories helping her make the connections. She also had info from the Shannon family bible. Samuel Shannon and Elizabeth's daughter, Elizabeth, married William S Lewis in Pittsburgh in 1809. I feel strongly that William and Samuel were probably brothers.

Hello cousin. Just found your web and love it. I am researching our Lewis//Cross/Emerson lines. My mother was born in Portsmouth and was the daughter of Ernest Barraud Lewis the son of Geo. W. Lewis/son of Samuel Morgan Lewis and Frances Pulley. Do you have any info on their father, Samuel and mother, Sarah(who signed her name Sarah G,) and dabble in real estate in the area of Uniontown, PA? Your John Henry is buried in Porstmouth in Cedar Grove cemetary with Mary F. Mine are in Oak Grove in Portsmouth. There is a sister, Mary A. married to a Wm. Cross, another brother, married to a Frances, and a Jane F.married to a Thomas Orton.These are all in Oak Grove as well. Hard to track this line with sooo many Samuel Lewis names and few Quacker records. Would love to hear from you - Martha-By the way, I have the same picture. Never knew who he was until tonight. Thanks a million for posting.
What next?
- View bmbradshaw597's profile: http://www.footnote.com/profile/bmbradshaw597 Yes. Mildred Kenny and I'm writing another quick note now to follow this email. That would be fine. Have you ever seen the cemetery in Portsmouth? You should. A real family affair. Marble table and chairs (as in the old type of fountain chairs) four of them under a huge oak tree surrounded by an iron picket fence. When I was small and had to go with the family on ALL occasions to put flowers there, everyone would go inside the fence and sit around the table and talk about the family. For years, I tried to keep up the tradition of taking wreaths, etc. but the neighborhood became dangerous and I just gave it up. It has changed now, thank heavens, and care is being taken care of it. Interesting, isn't it? The records I have about Samuel( b. 1750) near Pittsburgh, PA and Sarah (G?) are in her( Mildred's) handwriting. Frances Pulley was from Prince George County, Va. - I live in Williamsburg, just across the river. Samuel had evidently come down from PA. through the area around Bedford, VA. as the Quakers moved from one area to another but I need more info on dates and places. By the time that my mother was born, and I expect Mildred, the family had broken ties with the Quaker religion as my grandmother was a white ribbon wearer of the Methodist church in Portsmouth and I never heard one thing about this but the research that Mildred has and that my mother has and what I have done traces this family right back to Evan Lewis born 1610 in Pembokeshire, South Wales and his son Henry Lewis Sr. of the who came from the parish of Narbeth in 1683 to Pennsylvania and married Margaret Protherain (Prothroe) in 1669 and died in Haverford, Delaware County, Pennsylvania in 1688. Too late to go into all of this tonight but stay in touch. We'll stay in touch and thanks for the info on the book. Marty Martha Lewis Joyner Bradshaw

More info on the LEWIS', EMMERSON'S sent to me.
Hi Lora, Quick follow up to last night's email. My best guess of the picture taken of the two brothers was around this plot #241 in Section #5. You can see my George Washington Lewis as well as his wife, Martha, mother, Frances, and when you check on the Orton's, you can see they had the whole family except John Henry and Mary Frances. The first of the two Samuel M.s was the son of Samuel Morgan and Frances Pulley born 10 Feb. 1836 and died 11 July. 1854. As you can see, our Samuel Morgan is buried here but the date of birth is incorrect as it is in all of my other records, and yours, I believe, July 4,1784. And, we're still missing the elusive Sarah that Mildred wrote so much about. I'm convinced that she never left the area around Uniontown and Fayette County. Mildred went up to the court house and researched years ago but I'm sure that the records were spotty and so much has improved with computers. Couldn't live without mine. All for today. After awhile, I'm not even sure who I am.

Already at its highest level ever, Lake Champlain surpassed flood stage by 3 feet Friday, leaving hundreds of homes destroyed or damaged in a slowly unfolding catastrophe on island communities and the New York and Vermont sides of the 120-mile-long lake.
Teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency will be in Vermont on Tuesday to begin assessing damage, said spokesman Dennis Pinkham. Authorities said it could be weeks before floodwaters, which took weeks to hit current levels, recede.
"I had a guy from the state tell me that this was the slowest disaster he's ever seen," Clinton County Emergency Services Director Eric Day told the Press-Republican newspaper of Plattsburgh, N.Y., where about 100 residents of an apartment complex evacuated Friday.
The two major east-west roads that link the Vermont island county of Grand Isle to the mainland remained open but were water-covered, according to Gov. Peter Shumlin, who wouldn't rule out mandatory evacuations but said they aren't necessary yet.
Shumlin toured the flooded area by helicopter this week and then declared the area a disaster, which allowed him to call up help from the Vermont National Guard.
Soldiers have filled about 67,000 sandbags and provided high-water vehicles to help with recovery efforts.
Maj. Gen. Michael Dubie, commander of the Vermont National Guard, said that 136 soldiers are available on four hours' notice if need be, and that another 350 could be made available on 24 hours' notice if the state requests it.
Four to eight FEMA representatives, joined by Vermont Emergency Management officials, will tour the hardest-hit areas to do a preliminary assessment, Shumlin said.
Typically, spring rains and snowmelt in Vermont pose a threat for river flooding. This year, it's the lake, fed by rivers and tributaries in the Adirondacks of New York state and the Green Mountains of Vermont.
The lake, which separates upstate New York from Vermont and stretches into Canada, reached its highest level ever last week and has continued to rise.
At 2 p.m. Friday, the level of the water at Burlington, Vermont's largest city, was 103.22 feet above sea level, down from 103.26 at 12:30 p.m. Flood stage is 100 feet.
The state Health Department warned those in flood-stricken areas who use water from private wells to boil it before consuming. Anyone whose well was affected by flooding should bring their water to a rolling boil for one minute, or to use bottled water, or water from a known, safe source, they said.
The precautions were recommended until flood waters ebb, the well has been disinfected, the bleach odor has worn off and a follow-up bacterial test find it safe.
In Burlington, a city of 39,000 people where about 50 homes have been flooded, city officials announced the formation of a volunteer effort to help victims, coinciding with the state's annual Green Up Day on Saturday.
Volunteers will gather at Leddy Park to fill sandbags that will be given to people in flooded neighborhoods.
Lake Champlain empties into the Richelieu River, which flows northward through Quebec and flooded fields and homes along its length.
The National Weather Service said Friday it was optimistic that the lake level would peak within 48 hours and begin to recede next week. But it won't happen quickly.
"Historically, when we see it go up above flood stage, it usually takes 20 days per foot of drop," said Greg Hanson, a National Weather Service hydrologist in South Burlington. "So now, we're at 103 feet (above sea level), which would be 60 days. If we don't get any rain, we can fall faster than that. If we get some rain, it'll certainly be slower."
"It takes a long time for it to go back."

Samardzija fans 10 as A's return to West tie
Righty strong for eight; Donaldson logs three RBIs in return to lineup
HOUSTON -- A reformed Jeff Samardzija manhandled every Astros player not named Chris Carter in a dominant performance at Minute Maid Park on Monday evening, quickly turning the A's ugly Sunday loss to the Angels into a distant memory.
Samardzija's efforts in Oakland's 8-2 victory, an eight-inning masterpiece minus a two-run homer to Carter, invigorated an A's team that managed to avoid the hangover of a very bad day.
Sunday was not only marred by a loss but a slew of injuries, notably to closer Sean Doolittle and catcher John Jaso, both of whom hit the disabled list. The A's then had to hop a red-eye to Houston, where they arrived close to 4 a.m. local time. But there's no rest for the weary during a critical stretch run, and the A's went back to work and returned to the win column behind a stellar Samardzija.
He got a hand from Josh Donaldson, who was back in the lineup after taking a day off to rest a sore left knee and compiled three hits, including two doubles, and three RBIs, helping the A's move back into a first-place tie in the American League West. The Angels fell, 7-1, to the Marlins in Anaheim.
"I told him there's no chance he's not starting the day I pitch," said Samardzija, grinning. "I'll give him a massage on his knee if I have to just to get him in there."
"I try to go out there and lay it on the line for those guys no matter how I'm feeling," said Donaldson, "and give it my all every day."
That included a belly flop into second base for a stolen base in the fifth inning, a rather encouraging sign for the banged-up Donaldson.
Josh Reddick contributed with a two-run homer in the fourth, and Samardzija took a 3-0 lead heading into his final inning of work.
The right-hander was in control from the start, allowing six hits and striking out 10 -- including four in a row at one point. He nearly exited the eighth with a shutout intact, but former A's slugger Carter tagged him for a two-out, two-run homer, his 31st of the season.
"That's just Carter hitting one the other way that didn't even sound like he hit it," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "It wasn't even a bad pitch. That was a surprise. I thought he was going to cruise through the eighth, and then the decision was going to be whether to let him go out for the ninth, because he's the kind of guy that doesn't care about pitch counts if he's got a shutout."
Samardzija finished at 116 pitches, and the A's posted a five-spot in the ninth before Eric O'Flaherty tied the bow on the win, snapping the A's five-game road losing streak.
Samardzija had allowed a combined 11 runs in his previous two starts spanning just 10 innings, including seven runs in his last outing against the Mets, leading to a lengthy meeting with pitching coach Curt Young. The two worked on keeping the pitcher's hands closer to his body at the start of his delivery.
They also put in work on his split-finger fastball, which Samardzija turned to often mid-count for a strike Monday.
"Those two things combined, it got me back in the zone," he said. "I took that last one pretty personally and wanted to come out and have a good one and get back into my groove and how I do things.
"I gotta give a lot of credit to Curt. After that last start, I kind of wanted to overhaul a lot of things, and Curt brought me back and was like, 'Hey, it wasn't that bad. There are a couple things we need to work on.'"
It's the second time this season Samardzija totaled double-digit strikeouts, having accomplished the feat May 26 in San Francisco with the Cubs.
"He really went out there and established the heater and had his split in the back pocket when he needed it," Donaldson said. "He can't be a very comfortable at-bat."

We decided to try and do some Baltimore Pit Beef for the game last night. Wanted to kinda have a theme that tied in. I decided to go with Steven Raichlen's recipe that was posted in the New York Times. Unfortunately, the store had no top round when I went, so I settled on this 4lb round rump roast.
For the cook, I started off searing it at 450F
Then went indirect to finish it off. have I mentioned how much I love my Adjustable Rig from the Ceramic Grill Store?
BBQ makes a man thirsty! Check out that little bottle tag. Stacie got that as a sample from the trade show she was working in Vegas last week.
I pulled it at 125 and then let it rest for 30 minutes, but had to do a taste test for quality control purposes
After 30 minutes, it was time to break out the slicer that I got for Christmas for its maiden voyage
Thing worked pretty darn good
Maybe not as good as one from a deli, but for home use, it'll be fine
For the sandwich, it was a Kaiser roll, the beef, raw onions sliced thinly and topped with Tiger Sauce
I'm sure it was not authentic, but it was pretty freaking tasty. The meat was tender and the sharp, pungent flavor of the onion and the heat and creaminess of the Tiger Sauce just worked perfectly together. And now I got lunch meat for the rest of the week! We'll be doing this again for sure.
