William Harbison and his siblings; the late 18th century.
This is my best current list of William's siblings. It's pretty speculative.
John, as we've seen, is clearly William's brother. John appears as godfather for James, Sampson's son, and Sampson is connected to Henry as we've aready discussed. Francis lived in Moneymore, in close proximity to William, and cowitnessed a marriage with Mary Donnolly in Moneymore.
The rest are more speculative. Elizabeth married John Larkin, with a child (John) christened in Moneymore in 1829, Elena as godmother. The town listing is Ballyneill, but that was likely her residence, not his. Problem is the register entry is Latin, so Elena could be Ellen or Helen. We have what may be Elizabeth's death certificate from the adjacent townland of Ballymulderg in 1871, aged 74, putting her birth in 1797. There is a listing for a John Larkin in Ballymulderg in the 1831 census, with two sons and two daughters. There's also a listing for a John Larkin in Ballyneill, but he has no sons and two daughters. Baby John might of course have died in infancy.
James seems to have settled in Ballyriff, adjacent to Ballyneill Beg. The 1831 census lists 1 male and 6 feamles; proably five daughters. We also have a christening record for his children Bridget (likely one of the five) in 1828; and John (b. 1833; and a death record for his daughter Jane. His son James apparently took over the farm and appears as an aged widower in the 1901 census.
Edward appears in the 1831 census living in close proximity to John. He married Margaret McCort, and had a child Elena (see above) in 1829, Henry in 1833, and Mary in 1838. Margaret must have died by 1850 (probably a famine death) since he remarried a Frances Harbison in the Church of Ireland in 1850. More on this later. He died in 1875.
Eleanor was godmother to a child in Ballinderry in 1827, and married Patrick Smyth in 1833. They may have emigrated; I can find no further record of either of them. Since one had to be 16 to godparent, that puts her birthdate in 1811 or before. Finally, similarly, Ellen/Helen, by the same reasoning, must have been born before 1813.
Putting too much reliance on reported years of birth is a mistake, but Elizabeth and Edward could certainly have been twins. We have no direct evidence of any sibling born after 1797, but either Eleanor or Ellen/helen could have been. But certainly, it's at least plausible all of these births could have occurred betwen 1780 and 1800-1805, which would have been consistent with the father being the John Harbison reported in Ballyneill in the 1766 religious census. If John had been born circa 1745, he might have been the brother of James Harbison of Donaghenry. His last child would then have been born at age 55 - 60, which gives us a bit of leeway. His wife (unknown) may have been considerably younger, cf course, likely born about 1760. In favor of this hypothesis are the names, which form a pretty complete slate of the common Harbison names at the time -- we have no duplicate names in the list of plausible siblings. Sampson remains a mystery, but we can speculate he might have been christened Samuel and adopted Sampson because he was unusually strong, for example.

Francis Harbison, 1795-1837
We know Francis from his gravestone in the churchyard of St. John and Trea, Moneymore, and from his terse death notice in the Belfast Newsletter.
He's buried with his daughter Jane (1835 - 1860) and his wife Lucy Gribben (1798 - 1885).
In the 1831 census, Francis' household, the first enumerated in Moneymore, was listed as containing one male and five female family members. One female was obviously Lucy. We have a record of the christening of a daughter Bridget in Ballinderry on October 25 1828. Who the other two older daughters were I've been unable to ascertain. Subsequent to the census, Francis and Lucy obviously had Jane, and also John, christened October 18, 1832 in Moneymore.
The only link with William b. 1780 is his co-witnessing with Mary Donnolly, Willliam's wife, of the marriage of Patrick Wall and Isabella Mulholland in 1835 in Moneymore. Nonetheless, I think, given this and the geographic proximity, plus name and birthdate, the balance of probability is he was William's brother.
According to Griffith's Valuation and the PRONI valuation books, Lucy lived at 19 Lawford Street, but the property was marked as ruined sometime between 1876 and 1878. There is no record of what happened to her. She also rented from the Church of Ireland slightly over 4 acres of land (plots 4 and 5) in Feenan Beg (see the map on the page for William for its location). According the valuation books, she retained this land until 1906, which would have made her 108 years old, which seems unbelievable. It was passed on to John Morris (see below).
Far more plausible is that she had a spinster daughter named Lucy, whose death on 13 December 1896 is recorded in Moneymore, at the age of 66. Presumably she was one of Francis and Lucy's children, although this is by no means certain. Reporter is John Morris, whose wife Elizabeth (née McKenna) inherited Lucy's pittance (3 pounds). Lucy was living at 15 Lawford Street in 1893; John and Elizabeth Morris at 17 Lawford Street in the 1901 Census. Elizabeth was likely related by marriage; possibly her mother was a Harbison.
Oddly, I can find no record of the older Lucy's death, other than the grave marker.
In any case, other than Lucy, who've I've by no means established was a daughter, I can find no trace of Francis's other children. Probably a lot of sad tales there, untold.

Henry Alphonsus Harbison, MB, RAMC, MC w/ two bars, Croix de Guerre.
This is written with the help of research by Andrew and Joseph Harbison, who have forgotten more military and medical history than I've ever learned.
Henry Alphonsus Harbison was born in Magherafelt, Co Londonderry, in 1888, of James Harbison and Rose Ann Mullan, ultimately of William Harbison, b. 1780, his great grandfather, and my third great grandfather.
After leaving home for medical school, Henry lived in Gardiner's Row, near the Rotunda, in Dublin, and took a medical degree at University College Dublin. He graduated in 1913 with an MB. He joined up in September 1914, and was posted immediately to France. Being an medical graduate with no experience, he was posted to lead a stretcher unit, where he worked the front-lines and decided who could be saved and who couldn't. Triage.
In 1916, he won his first Military Cross at the Battle of the Somme, on Beziers Ridge, the place where they had the highest casualty rate in the entire battle. He won the MC digging a wounded soldier out of the mud under heavy fire.
He served until the end of the war, earning his second bar to the MC (effectively the third MC) in late 1918. I have no idea how many of his fellow soldiers he saved. Hundreds, maybe thousands. He also won the Croix de Guerre, probably because Henry and his unit didn't check nationality before saving wounded soldiers.
He retired in 1923 at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. While I have no reason to love the British Army, they looked after their men. Despite being invalided with chronic fibroid phthisis, which was probably partly tuberculosis and partly mustard gas, they arrange for him a sinecure.
He died in 1935, of lung disease. He left his widow 6 pounds, about $25 at the time. I remember her vaguely, from the 60's, a very old lady. Here is his obituary.
John Harbison, c. 1785-1868
As is so often the case, we know when John Harbison was born from his death certificate.
The only direct link we have between John and the rest of the Ballyneill Harbisons, and William, is the death notice for his son Henry, in the 1885 Belfast Newsletter.
HARBISON—July 6. Henry, third son of the late John Harbison, Ballyneil, uncle to the Very Rev. Henry Harbison C.S.S.R., Dundalk. Funeral will leave for the family burying ground, loop, this day (Wednesday), the 8th, at 121 o'clock. Friends will accept this the only intimation R.I.P.
The link was formed by two Henries; Henry, John's son, died in 1885; Henry the Redemptorist was the son of William Harbison, b. 1780. If John was his uncle, he was William's brother.
There are two records of a John Harbison acting as godfather in Ballinderry in 1828 and 1829. And there is this entry in the 1831 census for Ballyneill More.
It's intriguing, particularly because of the existence of two John Harbinsons, living very close, with families of almost exactly the same size, but one Catholic, and one Established Church. I'm wondering if this was a mistake, or if John was having a little fun. Certainly we have no other record of a Church-of-Ireland-attending John Harbison in Ballyneill More.
In any case, if John's wife was still alive in 1831, there were in addition three boys and five girls. Henry may have been one of the boys; his death certificate suggests a birth in 1831. And if so, he was the third son. I can't find a baptism for him. A second boy was William, 1814-1884. There are several candidates for the third boy, born before 1830, and for the five girls, but no clear links. yet.
If John were born in 1785, and married at age 25 (the median age for first marriage for Irish Catholic men at the time, and if he had a child every two years (about average) by 1831 he should have had 10 kids, so 8 is not unreasonable.
Also noteworthy is Edward Harbinson, Catholic, living in the adjacent house, probably younger, since with a wife present he had two boys and one girl. He was almost certainly a brother, b. c. 1797; I'll write him up separately.
Finally, this is the relevant clipping from Griffith's valuation.
John apparently has two lots, one of which he owns and is renting to William, his son (later property valuations verify this). The other he's still renting from the Salters' Company. And Edward also has a small plot.
I'm going to cover the Ballyneill More landholdings properly later.
Rev Fr Henry Harbison C.SS.R. (1820-1889)
The eponymous cleric was one of the later sons of WIlliam Harbison (b. 1780). He went to Maynooth to study for the priesthood, something of an inevitability for an Irish middle class family; became curate in Dungannon in 1847, and was apparently heavily involved in nationalist agitation. That's understandable, given that SE Londonderry, where he was born and raised, was one of the few parts of Ulster severely impacted by the potato famine (1845-1848). The rest of his bio-, or perhaps more accurately his hagiography, is given by Papa Stronsay.
I should say I'm the kind of atheist who considers Richard Dawkins a little too moderate,and so it's amusing to learn my 3rd great uncle was the Irish Catholic version of Billy Graham. But far more importantly to a genealogist, the Reverend Henry was famous. All my 19th century relatives wanted him to conduct their funeral (which would then be written up in the newspaper) and everyone wanted him mentioned in their obituary. And that small piece of vanity is the only direct evidence I have to link the Ballyneill Harbisons to my branch of the family, as we'll see in the next post.

Sampson Harbison, c 1786 - 1866
I discounted Sampson Harbison as a possible relative for some time, on the theory no late 18th century Catholic Irishman could ever have been named Sampson. Yet he existed. I still don't understand the name, except there was a family named Sampson living near Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, in the late 18th century, presbyterians. Yet Sampson was certainly Catholic. He appears first in a baptism record for Ballinderry, Co Londonderry, on April 19, 1829, father of a son James, wife Rose Donnolly, and with Mark Devlin and John Harbison as witnesses.
Because the 1831 census data for parts of Londonderry survived the Four Courts fire in Dublin in 1922, we have by good fortune a record of Sampson's family in 1831. It contained 6 males, and two females. One female may have been his wife Rose Donnelly; but since he married Sarah Devlin in Moneymore on September 23, 1832, Rose Donnelly might already have been dead. One male was clearly his son James. We have a christening for Ellen, daughter of Sampson and Sarah Devlin, on September 28, 1833; and for a daughter Mary on February 18 1839 (Eleanor Harbison and John Devlin were godparents). That is the last Irish record for Sampson.
The next record is in the 1860 US Census for (surprise!) Woodbury Township, in Blair County (previously Hutchinson County) Pennsylvania. Sampson is listed as 78, which would put his birth in 1782. His wife Sarah is 55, which would put her birth in 1805, meaning she would have been 27 at the time of her marriage. It seems inevitable this is the same Sampson, not only because of the unusual name, but because of the clear geographical association with Henry.Sampson's death is listed in the town records of Philadelphia on April 23, 1866. Sarah may have died some years previously; in 1863, Sampson was living at 1346 Hancock Street, living with Mary Harbison, 'gentlewoman', possibly his daughter.
There is also a persuasive but not certain 1850 census record for a 'Samuel Harbinson' living in Kensington 3rd ward of Philadelphia, born in Ireland, and aged 60. wife Sarah, aged 47, and two children Ellen (14) and Charles (10). As we'll see, Charles also turned up in Woodbury; all four are listed as born in Ireland. So it appears Sampson emigrated between 1840 and 1850.
I have not yet found passenger records for Sampson or his family, though I believe emigration was 1840 or soon thereafter. There is no trace of any of the family in the 1857 Griffith's valuation for Ballyneill Beg. We can however make some inferences about where they lived. While the house numbers in the 1831 census and in Griffith's valuation are not aligned, they are often correlated. These are the data for the north end of Ballyneill Beg.
It looks like the 1831 census takers moved south to north, and Griffiths runs north to south. Harbison, Crosset, and Donley are gone. That makes it likely Sampson lived in Griffith's plots 3, 4, 7, 8 or 9, with 3 as the most likely. Here's the map.

Henry Harbison c. 1793 - 1880
Henry Harbison is in many respects a mystery. I suspect we're related, but I have no direct proof of it. I suspect he was a scion of the Ballyneill Harbisons, but I have only circumstantial evidence for that. And yet he's the lynchpin of everything I know about the Catholic Harbisons in America.
There are no Irish records at all. The first record of Henry is his emigration from Ireland, on the ship Jane, from the port of Derry, which arrived in Philadelphia on June 14 1816. Above is the cargo manifest. His possessions fit in one chest. Since he left from Derry, he was probably part of the Derry/Tyrone branch; an Antrim or Down Harbison would most likely have traveled through Belfast.
His stated year of birth, determined from the census records, varies between 1786 and 1795, with a median of 1793; this also appears on his obituary. Most people in the 19th century remembered their birthday, but not their year of birth.
Henry was early for an Irish Catholic emigrant. During the colonial era, America was not a welcoming place for Catholics. Despite William Penn's declaration of religious tolerance, and Roger Williams in Rhode Island, and Lord Baltimore, and the First Amendment, yadda, yadda, yadda, America in 1816 didn't like Catholics and didn't want much to do with them. Less than 1.2% of the population of the thirteen colonies was Catholic. Many Harbisons had passed through Philadelphia in the previous century, but they were Presbyterian to a man.
Within a year of his arrival Henry left for Huntington County, in the south central part of the state, a valley in the Alleghenies. His obituary indicates he arrived there in 1816, shortly after his immigration. I'm still looking for evidence of what drew him to that place. None of his shipmates seem to have settled there. However, there is evidence it was more religiously tolerant than the eastern seaboard. Newry, one of the principal towns, was founded by Patrick Cassidy, a Catholic from Co. Down, in 1793. He was a surveyor, who also laid out Williamsburg, where Henry ultimately lived. And Henry's daughter Elizabeth married his grandson David.
Huntington County wasn't quite the frontier, but it wan't far from it. Forty years previous, it had experienced Indian raids, during the War of Independence. Judging by the surnames, it was a polyglot place, with Pennsylvania Germans, WASPs, and Irish of both flavors.
Henry doesn't appear in the 1820 US Census, but all that means is he was not a head of household, and was likely boarding with someone. He does appear in the Pennsylvania 1821 Census, for Woodberry Township, Huntington Co., listed as a joiner. At some time prior to that, probably 1818-1819, he had married Sarah Baugher, of Pennsylvania German origin (I'll justify this later). In 1820, he had the first of five children I can account for. Here they are.
All of the kids are inferred from later census records. There may have been more, although 5 kids in 8 years was towards the upper end of reproduction rates at the time. The last child was born in 1827, and his wife Sarah died in 1832. That was the year the second great cholera pandemic came to the Unitewd States; it might conceivably also have carried off their younger children.
The census of 1830 shows a fairly large household. In addition to his known kids, and his wife (20 - 30 years old), it enumerates three young men of ages 15-20 and one 20-30, and one extra infant boy, otherwise unaccounted for. I speculate these were hands he'd hired to clear a farm he'd bought (according to later records) that year. His farm was probably in excess of 100 acres, perhaps a quarter section. It was, reportedly rough ground, but he made it work, and by 1850 he was worth $11,200 in real estate, which is something around $400,000 in 2018 dollars. He was also a significant figure in his community. In 1838, he was elected constable of the county; in 1860, he served as vice president of the Democratic County Convention.
In genealogy, one thing one learns is the real information is not in census records, marriage and birth certificates, but in wills and obituaries, where people expound on their families and what is important to them. In this respect, the will of Elizabeth Baugher, 1839, is a wonderful example.
Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania Will Book 4, page 125 Elizabeth Baughers Will In the name of God Amen. I Elizabeth Baugher of the township of Woodbury,county of Huntingdon, in the state of Pennsylvania,widow being weak in body, but of soune mind,memory and understanding, and considering the uncertainty of this transitory life, do make and publish this, my last will and testament in manner and form to wit. It is my will and I do order that all my just debts including the expenses that I have incurred since I have been with and at the residence of Henry Harbison and all the expenses and trouble he the said Harbison may have on my behalf until my decease, together with my funeral expenses be duly paid and satisfied out of my effects as soon as convieniently can be after my decease. Item first I give and bequeath unto my Great Grand Daughter Elizabeth Harbison, my bed and bedstead and clothing thereto also my stove now in the possesion of Greenberry Wilson in Williamsburg.Item second I give and bequeath all my my effects such as notes Book accounts claims goods and chattels that I now have or may have at the time of my decease after first paying thereout all my just debts and expenses as above instructed, the remainder(if any) of my property shall be equally divided between my three Great Grand Daughters namely, Elizabeth Harbison, Elinore Harbison and Sarah Harbison, to be paid to them by the said exector as soon as they attain the age of eighteen years and lastly I nominate,constitute and appoint Henry Harbison to be the exector of this my last will hereby revoking all other wills, legacies and bequests by me hereafter made and declaring this and no other shall be my last will and testament in witness where of I have here unto put my hand and seal the twenty seventh day of August one thousand and eight hundred and thirty eight signed sealed and declared by the said testor as her last will and testament in the presence of the ward ( of Pennsylvania) on the fourth line on the other side being intersigned before the signer of this side. Witnesses: Jacob Winter and Joshua Roller Signed by: Elizabeth Baugher (Her mark) Probate Jan 30 1839
The great granddaughters, Henry's children, are unmistakable. It's not completely proven that Sarah was Sarah Baugher, but there's a Henry Baugher in the tax records of Woodberry for 1798 and 1800, and his enlistment records for the war of 1812; he signed up for the 5th Pennsylvania Volunteers (Coloner Fentons' regiment) in 1814. The regiment marched up to Pittsburgh anf then travelled by boat and foot along Lake Erie, to Buffalo, fighting in some substantial engagements. We don't know for sure what happened to Henry, but it seems likely he never came home, which would have left Sarah at least fatherless. Elizabeth appears in the 1830 census as aged between 70 and 80, which would put her birthdate 1750-1760; it's likely she was Pennsylvania German and originally named Bauer.
The 1840 census is a mystery; because Henry isn't on it. US censuses until about 1880 are frustrating, because people were enumerated in no particular order; it was probably simply the order the census-taker got to them. But we can trace Henry's neighbors in 1830, 1840 and 1850, and he's definitely missing in 1840. My theory is he went back to Ireland to bring back some of his relatives, and his kids (the oldest was 20) were lodged with someone else. I'll go through this further anon.
By 1850, all the children but Sarah were married. Henry himself was living as a widower in 1860, Sarah with him.
He remarried in 1862, to a Juliet Rickert, widow of Henry Rickert, a Pennsylvania German from Lancaster County, PA. She was a music teacher, as was her widowed husband. Henry lived on, evidently a pillar of society and frequently mentioned in the newspapers, until his death in 1880.

Wild Billy Harbison married a Catholic servant girl
When all his Loyal family passed on:
We danced round him shouting 'To Hell with King Billy'
And dodged from the arc of his flailing blackthorn
Forsaken by both creeds, he showed little concern
Until the Orange drums banged past in the summer
And bowler and sash aggressively shone
-- Like dolmens round my childhood, the old people, from Poisoned Lands, and other poems, John Montague, 1961.
John Montague (1929-2016) was the Irish Poet Laureate. Born in Brooklyn, NY, he grew up in East Tyrone; the poem is about his childhood. The same story of Wild Billy was passed down through my family. Bowler and sash refers to the traditional garb of the protestant Orange Order, during summer marching season, when they march, banging loud Lambeg drums, usually through Catholic areas, to show them who is boss. (Tiocfaidh ár lá, bitches) And King Billy was of course William of Orange, who defeated James II 1688-1691, resulting in the imposition of the Penal Laws on the Catholic population.
On my first day in secondary school -- high school, to youse Yanks -- Mr McGillen, the drunken Latin teacher featured in Roddy Doyle's Smile, started calling the roll, and when he got to my name, called me up to the front of the class
Harbison?
Yes, sir
That's a Protestant name.
So they say, sir.
Are you Protestant, Harbison?
Good. Sit down.
As we've seen, he wasn't wrong. The Harbisons who came to Antrim 1650-1670 were Protestant, specifically Presbyterian, likely some of them Covenanters. The very existence of Catholic Harbisons is an anomaly. And yet there are at least three clusters of us. One, as we've seen already, is on the western shores of Lough Neagh, from Magherafelt in the north to Dungannon in the south, but mostly within a few miles of the lake. It dates to at least 1745, the approximate birth-year of James Harbison of Donaghenry; and in the north, the birth of John Harbison of Ballyneill, born about the same time or even earlier.
The second is on the other shore of the lake, around Portmore. I'll get into this group a little later, but to tide you over there's an excellent write up by the Digger of Lisburn; the Catholic cemetary at Laa-Lou houses the grave of Arthur Horbison, his wife and children, d 1736 age 51.
And there's a third cluster in Newry, in County Down near the Louth border, about which I know very little.
If one assumes each group descended from a single family, then we have two or maybe three families of Catholic Harbisons in very early 18th century Ulster. If they're related to each other, we have to go back even earlier.
Since the major migration from Scotland to Ulster was 1650-1700, it is possible that a Catholic family of Herbertsons/Harbisons migrated from Scotalnd with the large-scale Presbyterian migration. This seems somewhat unlikely. The Catholic Church was heavily suppressed in lowland Scotland pretty much since the reformation in 1550. And most of the Harbisons/Herbertsons seem to have been Presbyterians, and sometimes Covenanters.
But conversion seems equally implausible. The penal laws against Catholics in Ireland were at their most severe in the early 18th century. Converting to Catholicism meant losing one's land, and existing Catholics had to distribute it evenly among their sons with each generation, rapidly making farms unviably small. While it is not clear these laws were universally applied, if they had been applied stringently anywhere, it would have been in Ulster.
Presbyterians were also subject to persecution, but it was not quite so severe. Moreover, while one could reasonably envisage conversion from Prebyterianism to Church of Ireland or Church of Ireland to Catholicism, a conversion of Presbyterian to Catholic involved a huge change in beliefs; from a non-hierachical religion to an intensely hierarchical one; acceptance of transsubstantiation, sacraments, etc..
Therefore, the Wild Billy story makes a certain amount of sense, and I'll deal later with a slightly modified version of it that also explains the DNA results. But the Digger gives an alternative story, equally romantic.
Family historians who have researched the surname in this area, relate a story about a member of the family who was sentenced to death by hanging in the area. It is alleged he was given a 15 minute reprieve to run for his life. He took that opportunity, went into hiding, and then made his escape across Lough Neagh to the County Tyrone shore, making a new life for himself and establishing the family surname in a new territory.
It explains where the Tyrone/Londonderry Harbisons came from, but not the Portmore Harbisons. And I don't believe it, anyway.

William Harbison (1782-1868). Part II: the real estate.
William is listed in Slater's Directory of Ulster (1846) as a grocer,wine and spirit merchant. Selling liquor seems to be a family tradition.
These are his real-estate holdings, listed in Griffith's Valuation of 1858, Ireland's first systematic government valuation of real property.
46 acres and £42.25 valuation may not sound like much, but they mark him as a fairly wealthy man for the time and place; at least middle-class. Griffith's does not let one easily identify the house numbers. However, it seems pretty clear the Conyngham St. property was the one shown in the 1832-1846 Ordinance Survey map; nothing else fits the description. Note everything is leasehold; the Worshipful Company of Drapers and the Church of Ireland owned everything, back in the days before land reform.
We can get a broader look at the real estate using the Griffith valuation map.
Coltrim lot 6 is towards the bottom left, adjacent to Crossnarea 9. Crossnarea 10 is closer to Moneymore, and Ballygruby 7 is near the top, to the right of center.
All of these were confirmed to be the real William by examining the valuation revision books at PRONI. The Ballygruby holding was transferred to William's son Michael and thence to James, between 1858 and 1863; the rest were inherited by daughter Mary between 1864 and 1874, a time period which spans his death. They were sold after her death in 1905

William Harbison, 1782 - 1868. Part 1: the family.
William was my third great grandfather, and the oldest ancestor to whom I can fully attest.
William heads a hulking great family gravestone is the churchyard of St. John and Trea, Moneymore, Co. Londonderry. It's somewhat unfortunate they seem to have the date of his death wrong (it was 1868, not 1866); we know independently from a civil death certificate and from his obituary in the Dublin Freeman's Journal it was July 12 1868 (ironic). His wife, Mary (1783-1865) is also buried there.
The gravestone lists some but not all of his children. These are
John, 1809-1891 (my 2nd great grandfather)
James, 1810-1891, not on the gravestone, but separately interred at the Church of St. John Milltown, Magherafelt.
Joseph 1812-1831
Francis 1815-1873
Mary 1817 - 1905, not on gravestone, but connected via newspaper articles and census records; she died a spinster.
Henry 1820 - 1889, not on gravestone, but he was a famous Redemptorist cleric and a nationalist firebrand, with multiple links back to the family.
Elizabeth Harbison Hughes, ???-1896, referred to in a wedding announcement as William's youngest daughter, but birth date unknown.
Michael (~1827 - 1865)
Thomas II (1828-1858)
Thomas I and David died in infancy
Michael and Thomas were born not much more than a year apart. There is, uniquely, a record of Thomas's christening in Ballinderry on Sep 30 1828. I've looked hard for a similar record for Michael (Ballinderry began recording christenings in 1826) but can't find it. Thomas's christening register does, however, give William's wife's full name as Mary Donnolly. This is the only other record we have of her. A William Harbison also is recorded as a godparent in an 1827 christening in Moneymore. Those are the earliest contemporaneous records of William.
There are the data from the Irish census of 1831 for Moneymore. The house number is arbitrary.
The three females are all accounted for; Mary Donnolly Harbison, and daughters Elizabeth and Mary, both of whom would have been underage. Of the eleven males, one is obviously William; we know of seven sons, the oldest, John, was 22, not yet married and likely still at home. That leaves three males unaccounted for. They could have included William's father, who was likely 70 - 85 and might still have been alive; uncles or brothers; or sons. I suspect at least one and possibly all three of the males enumerated were sons. After all, several of the children we know of were only identified by a single piece of data; we might have completely missed others. All we really know is that the other missing son or sons weren't named John, James, Joseph, Francis, Henry, Michael, or Thomas.
Most notably there is no William Jr.. It is mentioned on several occasions William was a modest man; nonetheless, it was the rule at the time that one son be a 'junior', and frankly, they had a relatively small number of names they used; they may have been running out. The other sons might have left home (there is room for 1 or maybe even 2 before John), and/or emigrated; or they might have died before death records were systematized about 1860.
Thomas was almost certainly the last child. Mary Donnolly would have been 47 by the time she was ready to conceive again, and she'd already given birth 14 times. William was certainly religious, and the child would therefore have been baptized. By 1830 most of the local churches at which he might have been baptized were keeping registers, though bad clerical handwriting, stains and fraying of the edges always mean a few baptisms are lost.
The other son or sons may be hard to find, though I have a couple of leads.

Harbisons did not seem to participate in the original Plantation of Ulster, which began in 1609. There are no records of Harbisons or any even approximately similar names in the Muster Rolls that were collected between 1618 and 1630. This was fortunate for them, given that at least 10,000 planters were killed in the 1641 rebellion. The next source we have are the Summonister Rolls for Londonderry in 1657, and the Hearth Money rolls for most of the province, 1666-1669. In the first we find a William Harbison, from Lislea, in Londonderry but on the Antrim border, who was brought up on some charge, and John Herbertson, from the next townland north (Moyknock), who was empaneled as a jury member. There are ten Harbisons, all from Antrim, listed in the Hearth Money Rolls of about 10 years later.
Since these were 12 male heads of household, in total, if you include families there were likely 50 or more individuals, a considerable migration. I've mapped the two 1657 (blue) and ten 1666-1669 Harbisons (red). They all seem to fall in the southern two-thirds of Antrim, or just over the river Bann in Londonderry.

So let's take the first two rows from the table in the last blogpost: that is, the STR results from the first two individuals, who, we're assuming, are living today.
As you can see, there are three changes, in DYS464-3, CDY-1, and CDY-2. There is also, of course, a common ancestor, whom we'll call person A. Now in principle, person A could have any STR count, but what we'll assume is that a minimum number of changes in STR number happened in going from A to 1 and A to 2. This makes sense; changes are rare, perhaps one every four generations. Obviously, the minimum number of total changes three, and there are four ways to do that.
Now you could argue, that because A lived probably more than 100 years before person 1 and person 2, and therefore about the same length of time before each, the changes from A to 1 and from A to 2 should be approximately equal. And that is true, but it's only a probability; there is a ¾ chance the changes are split 2:1 (top row), and a ¼ chance they are split 0:3 (bottom row). For the moment, we're going to assume that isn't enough of a difference to count on (If we did, the method would be called maximum likelihood, not maximum parsimony, and I'll get to it later). So, from a maximum parsimony standpoint, these tiny two-person trees (let's call them 2-trees) are equally good.
So let's try a 3 tree. Here are three individuals.
Simply by trial and error, it's easy to come up with A as the 'ancestor'; A has two differences with 1, one with 2, and one with 3, for a total of four differences. We can depict it thusly.
So this time there's a unique solution for A; no other will give us the minimum four total changes.
But we've been making one mistake, and that's to call A the ancestor. Imagine the common ancestor actually had the same STR counts as 3. That common ancestor was ancestor to A, who was then the common ancestor to 2 and 1. That scenario would have the exact same number of changes. In fact, it would really be the same tree. Using just maximum parsimony data, we can't distinguish. In fact, the 'root' -- the common ancestor -- could be either 1, 2, 3 or A, or even half-way between 1 and A.
This is a limitation of maximum parsimony within a single cluster of individuals; you can find the best tree, but you can't locate the root within the tree (maximum likelihood says it's A, but that's only a probability).
When we go to four individuals, we can construct all sorts of trees, and so we need to set some rules. There are the rules I'm going to set.
All 'ancestors', which we've seen may not really be ancestors, so we'll call them nodes -- they're the blue, lettered circles -- are connected to exactly three other points, either other nodes, or individuals
All individuals, which we've seen might also be ancestors, are connected to only one other point, which must be a node. We'll call them vertices.
There are no cycles or rings, where (say) A is connected to B, which is connected to C, which is connected back to A. This doesn't work, even in Appalachia.
We've entered an area of mathematics called Graph Theory. Fortunately, our trees are almost the simplest kind of trees, so we don't actually need to know much about graph theory to use it.
You might object that one ancestor might have four or more descendants. And that's true. But we can take care of it by simply saying there are two connected nodes, A and B, with 0 distance between them. Or more.
The beautiful thing is we end up with a rather small number of possible trees, and a systematic procedure to find the minimum parsimony tree. In fact, there's the only possible 4-tree that obeys our rules. And below it is the only possible 5-tree.
So if we have say five individuals and want to find the most parsimonious tree, we have a three step procedure
Arrange the individuals in the empty vertex slots on the 5-tree, in every possible unique configuration
Use a systematic or random procedure (I use the latter, an algorithm called Monte-Carlo/Metropolis) to change the STR counts of the nodes until the maximum parsimony solution is encountered
Select the vertex arrangement which together with maximum parsimony gives the lowest overall number of changes.
The word 'unique' is important. because it doesn't matter how we order two vertices connected to a single node, and all trees related to each other by simple symmetry operations are all the same, there are actually only three ways to create a 4-tree.
Our final post will consider how to root the tree.
Labels: DNA, maximum parsimony
Most people know DNA contains four bases: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, or ATGC. Each of us has about a billion of these bases, more or less unique. And you could certainly contruct a family tree by collecting DNA from each of us, and matching it up (of which more later). But it would be expensive (a full sequence is still more than $1000) and a huge amount of computation.
So what we use most of the time are things called short tandem repeats, or STRs. These are non-coding stretches of DNA, more or less tiny parasites in our genome. They consist of short repeated sequences of bases. For example, a STR called DYS393 is (AGAT)n: that is, it's AGATAGATAGATAGAT... It has a particular location on the Y-chromosome. Y-chromosomes are good for genealogy, because in principle they follow the male line, along with the surname, and don't recombine (or scramble) with other chromosomes. And because STRs are non-coding and have a tendency to replicate or dereplicate, they vary fairly frequently, sometimes as often as once every 8 generations.
Humans have DYD393 count numbers of 9 to 17. A typical commercial Y-DNA test includes as few as 11 STRs or as many as 111. 11 probably isn't enough. So let's do an example. This is a sequence of count numbers from seven different STRs, from six individuals, all named Harbison, all apparently related. I've omitted the STRs that don't vary within this set.
So how do we turn this into a tree? You could probably do it by hand, but in the next posts I'll describe the formal mathematics.
Some more news of the fraudulent Hinkle genealogy of the medieval Irish Harbisons. Edith Hinkle Harbison was not actually the creator of the fraud; instead, she paid good money for it. The fake genealogy was the creation of Gustave Anjou, one of the great fraudsters of the early 20th century.
'Anjou' came to the US from Sweden in 1890, after doing a little time in the Ikea-furnished big house for forgery, back in the old country (he was the bastard son of a guy called Carl Gustaf Jungberg). He proceeded to infiltrate various American genealogical societies, and then, at a time nouveau-riche Americans were willing to lay out hard money for a bit of class, started producing insta-genealogies for well-heeled families, showing their descent from various crowned heads of Europe. Gustave would charge up to $9,000 for a descent from Charlemagne, though usually it cost only a few hundred for a generic minor nobleman. My guess is that Hinkle was pretty stingy, because all the Harbisons got was a lousy Nottinghamshire village.
He died undetected in New York in 1942, a wealthy man.
I'm still trying to get hold of Anjou's original chart of the Harbison genealogy. I'm sure it's a gas.

Using FamilySearch.org data for Scottish christenings, 1550-1650, I found the following unique spellings of Harbison/Herbertson:
Harbesoun (1,1619) Herbertson (4, 1615-1642) Herbertsone (43,1574-1650) Herbertsoun (3,1615-1636) Herbertsoune (1,1638) Herbesoun (13,1612-1636) Herbesoune (5,1610-1623) Herbiesoun (2,1615-1619) Herbisone (3,1615-1618) Herbisonne (1,1623) Herbisoun (1,1618) Herbisoune (2,1617-1619)
The frequencies 1650-1750 were very different
Harbeson (2, 1718) Harbesoune (2,1680) Harbisone (5,1652-1655) Harvison (14,1665-1750) Herbertson (79,1662-1750) Herbeson (5, 1683-1722) Herbison (10,1732-1749) Herbisone (2,1655-1684)
The spelling of Herbertson seems to have regularized, but Harbison not so much. Also, the first vowel seems to have sometimes shifted from 'e' to 'a'. This may be part of the Great Vowel Shift, which was only partial in Scotland and happened rather late. But it should be appreciated that the shift in spelling may not have been simultaneous with a shift in pronunciation. The progression from a to æ to ɛ was not always accompanied by a shift in spelling. 'Derby' and 'clerk' are still 'Darby' and 'clark' in the UK. So we don't actually know if Herbertson in 1600 was pronounced 'Herbertson' or 'Harbertson'.
Caveats; after 1700, there are records from more counties, and this may have skewed the distribution. And of course, with any database, there may be missing data. But one final interesting graph.
Why the apparent shift from 'Harbison' variants in the early 17th century to 'Herbertson' variants mid-century, and then a total collapse of the numbers? No idea, except 1650 was about when Harbisons started appearing in Northern Ireland.

This is the entry for Herbertson in The surnames of Scotland, their origin meaning and history, by George Fraser Black, New York : New York Public Library & Readex Books, 1946.
HERBERTSON, 'son of Herbert,' from OE. personal name Herebeorht, meaning army bright. Archibald Herbertson was burgess of Glasgow in 1525 (1), and Robert Herbertsoune was notary public there in 1536. The name is common in the Glasgow Protocol books of the sixteenth century as Herblsone (1551), Herbisoune, (1550). George Harbertsone, is recorded as a witness in Glasgow in 1559 (2) William Herbesone of Nortb Berwick is mentioned in 1555 (3), and Richard Harbertson, son of Jobn Harbertsoun, notary, was burgess of Glasgow in 1605 (4). Margaret Herbertson is recorded in the parish of Monkland in 1619 (5), and Martin Herbertson was tenant in the barony of Mousewall (Mouswald, Dumfrlesshire) in 1673 (6). An action at law against Georg Harbiesone in Hairshaw, 1706 (Corsehill, p. 213). Harbersone, Harbertsone, Harbeson. and Harblsone 1706, Herbertsoun 1609. (1) Registrum episcopatus Glasguensis...

(7) Corsehill baron-court book, 1666-1719. (In: Ayrshire and Galloway Archaeological Association. Collections, v. 4, p. 213).
Commentary: it is obvious the spelling of the surname that was originally Herbertson was highly variable even before it ever left Scotland. The t, which is often glottalized (even by myself) in North-of-England and Scottish dialects, therefore is prone to disappear in the mouth of someone who doesn't use glottal stops. Thus do the Haole mispronounce Hawai'i. And while Scots do not tend to lose the 'r' (in fact, they rrroll it) the English do.
As for the name itself; it might have arrived in the Scottish lowlands via the major settlement of southern Scotland in the 11th and 12th centuries by the English, which Black (loc. cit) attributes to the Norman push north into Lancashire and Yorkshire. He says there is no evidence Gaelic was spoken in southern Scotland outside of Galloway after the mid-12th century. There are however, no Harbisons, or Herberts, or any variation thereof, in the Ragman Rolls of 1291-1296.
Black suggests the use of -son suffix as a patronymic began in the early 14th century.
One Catholic Harbison (John) appears in the 1766 Religious Census for Londonderry. This is the transcribed record, courtesy of Bill McAfee. My working hypothesis is John is the ancestor of all of the Catholic East Derry and East Tyrone Harbisons, as well as most if not all of the Catholic Harbisons who emigrated to Philadelphia in 1816 and after.
Here is the map from Griffith's Valuation of Ireland, almost a century later (1858), showing the townlands of Ballyneill More, Ballyneill Beg, and Ballyriff, with a bit of Lough Neagh stuck in to orient you. You can zoom in a bit. The townland names are not particularly easy to see, but they're there. The full map is available here.
And here is Ballyneill More in the bigger scheme of things. It's the little purple blob.
The Ballyneills are mentioned in the first layout of the land of the Plantation of Ulster, listed in the record of a court of Common Council of the City of London, held on 17 December 1613. This particular part of East Londonderry, originally belonging to the exiled O Neill, was granted by patent to the Worshipful Company of Salters, one of ten London companies. The territory of the ten companies, once part of Tyrone, was split off as the new county of Londonderry. T.W. Moody, my old history professor at TCD, transcribed the record, and they appear in Schedules of the Lands in Ulster Allotted to the London Livery Companies. 1613, T. W. Moody. Analecta Hibernica, 8, 1938, 299-311.
Here's the mention in the 1654-1656 Civil Survey
In 1659, Ballyneill More and Ballyneill Beg had populations of 6 and 3 respectively, all Irish. In fact, the entire parish of Artrea was overwhelmingly Irish. This is from A Census of Ireland circa 1659, compiled by Séamus Pender (1939)
A protestant finally shows up in the 1662 Subsidy Rolls; his name is Humphrey Tracy, living in Ballyneill Beg. The valuation (5 pounds) is quite high; he must have owned a significant part of the townland. There were Tracys in ballyneill Beg until at least the late 19th century. He also shows up (as Humphrie Tracy) in the 1663 Hearth Money Rolls, along with two Irishmen, James McArt and Gillaspie McGuckin. Note that both rolls were means-tested, and so poorer people wouldn't have appeared.
Unfortunately townlands were frequently unspecified in the 1740 Protestant Householder Rolls, but there are two Tracys in the parish of Artrea; likely one was in Ballyneill Beg. The 1766 Religious Census, though, is a boon; we count 56 head of households, 17 Established Church and 39 Catholics (papists); remarkably, there were no dissenters recorded. I will have more about correlating the 1766 Religious Census with the 1831 Census and the 1858 Griffith Valuation, since we have names; we may be able to get a better idea of where exactly John Harbison lived.
Anyway, to conclude our stroll down demographic lane, in the 1831 census, there were 39 households in Ballyneill Beg, 11 Established Church, 24 Catholic, and 4 Presbyterian (yay dissenters!), for a total count of 61 Established Church, 126 Catholics, and 21 Presbyterians, or 208 individuals on 480.49 acres, a density of one person per 2.31 acres.
There were 47 households in Ballyneill More, 19 Established Church, 24 Catholic, and 4 Presbyterian, for a total count in both townlands of 86 households. In Ballyneill More, there were 113 Established Church, 134 Catholics, and 21 Presbyterians, or 268 individuals, on 632.78 acres; a density of one person per 2.36 acres. This is an unsustainable density in a rural area, and directly led to the Great Famine of 1845-1848.

Sometime in the late 1960s or early 1970s a gentleman from America called my father at our listed Dublin telephone number, and said he was researching his 'roots'. If I recall correctly, he was a descendant, maybe a grandson, of a John S Harbison, apparently famed among beekeepers for introducing the honeybee to California. My Dad thought this was all hilarious (unjustifiably; just think of the economic impact of honeybees to a farming state).
In any case, my father told him his fanciful theory, originally my uncle Austin's, that the Harbison name was a corruption of 'FitzHerbert'. Maria Anne Fitzherbert was mistress of George IV, and we were descended from her bastard child (and were therefore 78th in line to the throne, or something). Total rubbish of course. But my Dad did put the American in touch with my cousin Rosemary, who had done quite a bit of genealogy, back to the 18th century, and had a theory we came from Renfrewshire, and this is probably correct.
But Rosemary's genealogy wasn't of much use to our putative American cousin, because our branch of the family are Catholic, and are only distantly related to his Protestant ancestors. In fact, while we had a theory of how we became Catholic, we really had very little idea of our family line before about 1800. That's part of being Catholic and Irish.
But the American did leave a piece of paper.
The creator (top right corner) is someone called Hinkle. I'm 99% sure this was Mrs. Edith Harbison Hinkle, 1877-1947, daughter of John S Harbison. She seems to have gotten interested in genealogy while preparing her application to be a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
In fact, you can find the Hinkle genealogy all over the net. I found 22 separate versions of it on ancestry.com. Here is a representative one, condensed a little for brevity. It doesn't seem to have been published (at least, I can't find it on WorldCat) but seems to have been disseminated first by photocopy machine and then electronically.
As you can see, the Harbisons are supposed to have migrated to Ireland from Harby, a small village in East Nottinghamshire in England, in the early 15th century, via Cork.
The places are mostly real. Harby exists, though I don't know if it existed in 1415; Barley Field is a small townland near Kinsale, Co. Cork. Shanroe is a townland on the Monaghan/Fermanagh border; Trough is a barony that makes up most of far-northern Monaghan. And Roagh isn't easy to locate, but may be a corruption of Trough.
But the genealogy is rubbish. Here's why:
There is no sourcing. The 22 family trees on ancestry.com do not have a single source cited, except for other family trees. And if you try to source any of the individual persons, you hit a brick wall...
...but then, if you look in A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Landed Gentry of Ireland, by Bernard Burke, 1899 you can find, on a single page (p. 63; shown below) dedicated to the Carsons of Shanroe, most of the places and people listed in Hinkle's "genealogy": George Scott of Roagh, Co. Monaghan; the parish of Errigal Trough; Shanroe; Waggett; and Catherine Robinson. That's one heck of a coincidence.
Katherine Polsagh, daughter of Thomas, is in fact mentioned in the History of the Family of Borlase. She was involved in Chancery proceedings for 1424-1425, in Cornwall, England, 200 years before she supposedly married James Harbison. Polsagh is an uncommon surname. In fact, it's apparently extinct. Note that both of the books I cite are 19th century and would have been available to Hinkle.
Finally, Hinkle's genealogy completely ahistorical, written in apparent ignorance of the state of medieval Ireland in general and medieval Monaghan in particular. Monaghan in the 1400s and 1500s was the remnants of the Kingdom of Oriel, owned by the MacMahons, an Irish family. It was a cockpit of near-continuous warfare between them, the O Neills of Tyrone, and the English of the Pale. The idea of a genteel English family sedately living in northern Monaghan among the wild Irish, and carefully listing the dates of their births and marriages, is ludicrous. Shirley (1877), in her History of the County of Monaghan describes the county in the 16th century as being in a state of desolation due to the never-ending war.
So why did Edith Harbison Hinkle concoct this fake? Possibly she was entranced by the idea of the Harbisons being from Harby, in dear old Nottinghamshire, with perhaps one of her ancestors a Merrie Man. Perhaps she was just a fantasist. This is not merely careless genealogy, of which there is far too much. It's obvious fraud.
And this is why you shouldn't trust anyone else's family tree unless it's meticulously sourced and you can check the sources.

Q: Scrollable List in Java It may not be an appropriate term - scrollable but by scrollable, I mean a fixed size java.util.List with a different perspective.
The List should have defined number elements (predefined size). If an attempt is made to add more elements than the defined size, then those elements should be added with the removal of the top most elements in the List.
For example, let's say that the List has a predefined size of 5 elements and it already contains those many elements like the following (assuming the List is a generic type of String),
A
B
C
D
E

Now, if an additional element F is added, then the element at the top (A) should be scrolled up and vanished. The List should now have the following elements.
B
C
D
E
F

Similarly, if G is added, then it should contain the following elements.
C
D
E
F
G

Removing the top most element B and so on.
Is there a fair way to do this? Is there any library that may support this kind of functionality?
BTW, the structure is not necessarily only a java.util.List. It can be anything, starting from arrays but since I need this in a web application, components provided by swing like JList, JScrollPane cannot be used.

A: You can do this with an ArrayList:
ArrayList<Object> s = new ArrayList<>();
//Assuming the list has been populated
s.remove(0);
s.add(newObject);

This removes the element at index 0, then adds an element to the end of the ArrayList, giving you your desired result.

A: What you need is a FIFO Data Structure like Queue.
You can write your own implementation to keep it at a fixed size like this or write a wrapper for an existing implementation like LinkedList.

A: What you want is a FIFO queue.
Java has a Queue<E> interface link, LinkedList implements it: link.
You can add the elements with the offer method and remove elements (from the other end, it's a FIFO) with remove or poll calls.
You can see other implementations, you can specify capacity too.
I don't advise you to write your own if there's an available one which fits your needs.

A: LinkedList will resolves your issues which is an implementation of FIFO Queue.
More over its faster than List(operations).

The class implements the Queue interface, providing first-in-first-out queue operations for add, poll, etc. Other stack and deque operations could be easily recast in terms of the standard list operations. They're included here primarily for convenience, though they may run slightly faster than the equivalent List operations

A: To add to the other answers, you are describing a circular buffer.  None of Java's collection classes directly implement a circular buffer, as the other answers suggest, you can imitate the functionality fairly easily.

A: I don't know if there is any library that support that functionality.
But you can make a simple method just to do exactly what you want.
I've done it myself and it's pretty straight forward though.
    List<String> myList = new ArrayList();
    int maxSize = 5;

    myList.add("A");
    myList.add("B");
    myList.add("C");
    myList.add("D");
    myList.add("E");

    int listSize = myList.size();
    System.out.println("List Value BEFORE Maximum Size Reached : ");
    System.out.println(myList.toString());

    if (myList.size() >= maxSize) {
        myList.remove(0);
        myList.add("F");
    }

    System.out.println("List Size AFTER Maximum Size Reached : " + listSize);
    System.out.println("List Value AFTER Maximum Size Reached : ");
    System.out.println(myList.toString());

And this is the result :
List Value BEFORE Maximum Size Reached :
[A, B, C, D, E]
List Size AFTER Maximum Size Reached : 5
List Value AFTER Maximum Size Reached :
[B, C, D, E, F]

Growing up I had oftentimes heard stories of friends and family having incredible adventures at Isle Royale National Park. I have always desired to experience the island for myself and return with my own stories to share, and working at Bearskin this summer has allowed me to do so.
My aunt, a Grand Marais local and wonderful backpacking companion, agreed to join me on my Isle Royale adventure. On one of my days off, she and I packed our bags and headed to Grand Portage early in the morning to catch the ferry to Isle Royale. The weather for the ride was perfect; the water was like glass and the rising sun quickly warmed up the cold Superior air. The calm condition of the water allowed us to see the famous sunken steam ship "America" very clearly as we pulled into the Windigo port. My aunt and I quickly got our park permits and settled into a campsite, eager to hit the hiking trails.
We decided on hiking part of the Huginnin Cove Loop, a nice wooded trail where we were hoping to see some beautiful sights and maybe even a moose. The views on the hike were lovely and though we didn't see a moose, it was very enjoyable to find hundreds of their tracks along the trail.
By the time we got back to our campsite we were looking forward to a big meal, and we soon found out that we weren't the only ones. As I was cooking over the camp-stove, I heard some splashing coming from the little stream behind me. To my surprise, there was a moose coming down to the water right across from our site to join us for dinner. We watched her munch on plants along the shoreline for a good 15 minutes before she swam right over to our campsite and trotted off into the woods just a few yards away from us! It was the most amazing moose experience either of us had ever had.
The next morning we were ready to take on more hiking adventures. We chose to do the Grace Creek Overlook trail along the lake because it got hotter and buggier the further inland we went. Walking along the water allowed us to watch boats and sea planes come into and out of the Windigo harbor and it also provided the perfect habitat for Lady Slippers–we must have counted over 50 of them along the trail!
After we finished our hike, we packed up our bags and headed to the boat for our journey back. The weather was very overcast, creating an eerie sight as we passed by the Rock of Ages Lighthouse which was barely visible through the fog.
Before we knew it, we were back at Grand Portage and on our way home, excited to share our own new stories about Isle Royale. It was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend the trip to anyone looking for a unique adventure.


On my spare time I try to find some room for my favourite passion – drawing and painting. Lately I've been experimenting with the possibilities of digital media in combination with traditional. I'm also very fond of photography. Besides my interests I love doing sports (mostly Thai Boxing), playing board games and spending time with my friends and family.
heeeeey cmon submit more pieces of art!!! it's really cool!
Haha well hello there! Thank you so much for the favourite addition Now remember to put up more of your pretty pencilwork here!
WELCOME and have a fun stay here, i sure do.

Getting Started with ASP.NET Core & Is EF Core the right choice for me?
We will be upstairs on the 2nd floor of HackerStudios 6pm - Doors open 6:30pm - Session start Session 1: Getting Started with ASP.NET Core ASP.NET Core was finally released to market in June 2016. After several release candidates and lots of community input, Microsoft has given their stripped down, cross-platform coding platform to developers. However, there is still a lot of misconceptions on what ASP.NET Core does and what the right scenario is for its use. In this session, Ken Cenerelli will walk you through the various aspects of ASP.NET Core. He will highlight what each component contains, when you would use a Core project instead of targeting full .NET framework, and how you can leverage the new features Core provides. Session 2: Is EF Core the right choice for me? Entity Framework Core (EF Core) 1.1 was recently released to market in November 2016. In this demo-filled session, Obi Oberoi will walk you through multiple scenarios where using EF Core makes practical sense. Obi will highlight the tooling that EF brings out of the box, how it compares with other ORMs, when you should use EF Core over full Entity Framework, and how you can leverage the new features that EF Core provides and more! Speaker Bios: Ken Cenerelli is a programmer writer and software developer specializing in the Microsoft .NET Framework.

by Stephen BeachyStephen Beachy
In this unusual "collaborative novel," Jake Yoder, a precocious boy caught between Amish culture and the modern world, sits in his middle-school classroom writing stories at the behest of a stern but charismatic teacher. Jake's stories feature children who are crushed, imprisoned, and distorted, and yet somehow flailing around with a kind of bedazzled awe, trying to find a way out. His characters wander through Amish farms, one-room schoolhouses, South American plains, mental institutions, exotic cities, and prisons; his sentences seem constructed to the beat of an obsessive internal rhythm, and his prose is often haunting and beautiful. The strange logic and disturbing shifts in Jake's tales reveal a young boy processing intense emotional experiences in the wake of his mother's suicide and his own proximity to the schoolroom shootings at Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, in 2006. Jake imagines fantastic journeys, magical transformations, and rock stardom as alternatives, it seems, to his own grim reality and the limitations of his life among the Amish.
Advance praise for BONEYARD
"In this sly, endlessly surprising collaboration with a troubled Amish persona and his skeptical (self?)-editor, Beachy exalts and simultaneously deconstructs the tradition of the literary hoax. The result is mythic, manic, and amazing. —Michael Lowenthal
"Intelligent cultural critique wrapped in a twisty, turny, funny, damning fairy tale that happened neither long ago nor far away but every day and here."—Rebecca Brown
" boneyard is a restless dream of a book, one that lifts away from the dreaming writer only to turn and look back at him, regard him, and make his dream its subject."—Matthew Stadler
"Stephen Beachy is a complete visionary, a sorcerer, a secret weapon. boneyard does for the Amish diaspora what Junot Diaz did for Dominicans with The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao."—Scott Heim
From reviews of THE WHISTLING SONG
An admirable, highly original tale . . . [by] an exuberant and nervy writer who is in awe of the open road and all of its beauty, irony, and menace (Meg Wolitzer, New York Times Book Review )
From reviews of DISTORTION
"Beachy's triumph of prose, hypnotic and lyrical, bathes his characters in the revealing light of a photographer's eye . . . An artistic and literary achievement." (Jay Quinn)
From reviews of SOME PHANTOM/NO TIME FLAT
"Bold, addictive, and hauntingly beautiful, Stephen Beachy continues his dissection of the American landscape and character through these two finely crafted and thematically linked novellas charged with memory, mystery, desire, violence, and the destiny deprived itinerants who lived and imagined them." (R. Zamora Linmark)
"This is some of the most interesting and exciting writing I've read in a long time. Not so much a great book as a great reading experience. You forget how you got there, which is the best. Writer to writer I thank Stephen Beachy. This is how we live." (Eileen Myles)
Boneyard 5 out of 5 based on 0 ratings. 2 reviews.
HanpotlWeltkunst More than 1 year ago
Fantastic. I will have to devour this three or four times to appreciate what a classic this is. It will make most readers' brains twist and churn beyond what they are used to in their humdrum lives and open the door to larger versions of themselves -- which is exactly what good literature is supposed to do.

The Three Faces of Al Green – Restaurateur, Rapper & Rad Dad
February 1, 2021 January 27, 2021 by oldtowncrier
By Lani Gering
Who remembers the 1957 Joanne Woodward movie "The Three Faces of Eve"? If you aren't an old movie buff or of a certain age, you probably don't know that the subject matter of this movie is about a woman who has multiple personalities. While Al Green doesn't have the serious baggage that Eve had, he does have three pretty distinct personalities. He is more than just a Renaissance Man. He has three very distinct loves – Restaurants, Rap and being a Rad (an excellent person or thing) Dad!
Restaurateur Al Green
I met Al when he was managing the newly opened sister restaurant to Bond 45 – Fiorella's Italian Kitchen – in National Harbor about 10 or so years ago. He is now the Managing Director for the Fireman Group in National Harbor. Al has spent a good portion of his life in the restaurant business doing just about everything one can do and he still does to this day. When we sat down for this interview he was expediting food and making drinks at Fiorella's. The pandemic and all of its protocols have certainly changed the way eateries have to do business and manage employees. Speaking of the pandemic, one really good thing to come out of it was the creation of Copious Amounts, Al Green's new cooking show. During the time that the restaurants were closed he had to do something with his restaurant and cooking skills and he had access to a nice commercial kitchen so….Copious Amounts was born.
Copious is a "from start to finish" show featuring several dishes being prepared at the same time. He incorporates local Rap celebs as well as family members and friends. They produced 18 episodes in 18 weeks and finished the final episode a couple of weeks ago. He is hoping to get it syndicated at some point. Check out the link to an episode here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QJT1Pxph94Al
Rapper Al aka Kaimbr
While he was enrolled in school at Gallaudet University to study sign language and working part time in the kitchen, Al started his rapping career at the ripe old age of 18. Didn't take long until he decided that Rap was what he wanted to pursue, so he dropped his interpreter aspirations and morphed himself into "Kaimbr" – pronounced came-ber. I just found out about Kaimbr when we became Facebook friends a year or so ago and while I am no big fan of Rap, it appears that he's sort of a big deal in the Rap world. In fact, he is known to most of his friends and acquaintances as Kaimbr.
He tells me that a good portion of them have no idea how involved in the restaurant business he is. His record label is Humble Monarch and he currently has several albums on the market – Share the Shelter, Bronze Horse and The Alexander Green Project as well as Black Earth with more to come in 2021.
Rad Dad Al
Al's beautiful hazel/green eyes light up when he talks about his kids. His 20 year old daughter Cheyenne, who is a sophomore at Frostburg State College, and his 15 year old twin boys Nathanial and Noah are the light of his life. He told me about his Cotillion experience with Cheyenne and it made me laugh. He says he didn't know what a great "waltzer" he was until he hit the dance floor with her. I've seen photos of them and she is beautiful and it is evident that he is very proud of her. The boys are active in all things 15 year old boys like to do. He tells me they have two very different personalities so there is a good balance in the family. Family is very important to Al and he spends a lot of time with them all. He says that they love to tease and poke fun at each other but in the end it's all about the laughing that they do when they are together. His family will be welcoming a new member this year. Al Green is getting married
Unlike Woodward's character Eve, Al Green's three faces morph into each other. His love of people, food, music and hospitality transcend to each phase of his life. When he is at the restaurants he treats the customers like family, when he is making music he treats his people like family, when he's filming Copious Amounts he treats his guests like family and when he's with his family he is a combination of all three. If you have the pleasure of meeting Al, you will be in good hands.
Every Day is Valentine's Day at Our Restaurant Partners!

Back in January it rain in southern Queensland. Four days after this post it rain at home. The heaviest falls in a short period in over 30 years. 770 points (192.5mm) overnight followed by enough in storms & showers to get over 1000 points/10 inches (250mm) in four days. Can't believe I didn't post about this then!
Anyway, I got home for a week in May. Talked to my father about what happened to the water, between the grapevine & news/current affairs (ABC generally), we worked out it all went to two places.
A majority of it end up in irrigation (public & private) storages in the Western Division of NSW. Bleed out of the Darling River both legally and illegally.
What got past the mouth of the Darling at Wentworth disappeared by/at Lock 1. That happens to be the point where Adelaide draw its water.
Nothing got to the lower lakes, the crisis there continues! The first thing to do is to stop transferring water out of the basin. That mean Adelaide and Melbourne!


What makes this chocolate treat so decadent? Its denseness comes from the chocolate, not flour—so there's more to love. With just a few ingredients to gather, it's perfect for Valentine's Day or any time you want to spoil that special someone. Can't get enough? Top it off with strawberries.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with foil. Grease foil with margarine or spray.
In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff, about 2 minutes.
In a separate bowl, beat together yolks and sugar until thick and pale, about 1 minute. Blend in chocolate mixture and stir in almonds.
Fold beaten whites into chocolate mixture, 1/3 at a time, until no streaks of white remain. Scrape into prepared pan.
Place an 8-inch baking pan filled with 1 inch of water on the bottom rack of the oven (to make the torte more moist). Place springform pan on center rack and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until sides begin to pull away from pan and top is set in center.
Sprinkle confectioner's sugar on top of torte. Serve with sliced strawberries.
