Excerpt from A Historical Sketch of the First Ancestors of the Stackhouse Family in America So far as I am aware the first member of the Stackhouse family who attempted to collect genealogical data of our his tory was Amos Stackhouse, 1757-1825, a great grand son of Thomas, . The immigrant. He' was a man of Isome literary attainments and was for some years engaged in teachin'g'school at Mount Holly, New Jersey. His life was passed'mainly in that place and.in Philadelphia. The results of his labours were somewhat menger and mostly confinmed to tradition; however anucleus was established. His son Powell Stack house, Sr., 1785-1863, took up the work where his father laid it down and pushed his inquiries still further. His inter est in the work led him to look up every one bearing the name if accessible. He resided in, phi1daelphia and in those days there were many of the name there. The story IS told that on one occasion he learned that a family of the name of Stackhouse resided in the lower part of that city and one morning he sallied forth to interview them to find out where the relationship came in. To his intense disgust the family turned out to be negroes. It is needless to say he abandoned summarily - abolitionist as he was - all desire of establishing relationship. In explanation of this it may be said that in Colonial days when slavery existed in the North, many of the slaves assumed the names of their masters and this was the case no doubt in the instance recited.

The popular image of Scotland is dominated by widely recognized elements of Celtic culture. But a significant non-Celtic influence on Scotland's history has been largely ignored for centuries? This book argues that much of Scotland's history and culture from 1100 forward is Jewish. The authors provide evidence that many of the national heroes, villains, rulers, nobles, traders, merchants, bishops, guild members, burgesses, and ministers of Scotland were of Jewish descent, their ancestors originating in France and Spain. Much of the traditional historical account of Scotland, it is proposed, rests on fundamental interpretive errors, perpetuated in order to affirm Scotland's identity as a Celtic, Christian society. A more accurate and profound understanding of Scottish history has thus been buried. The authors' wide-ranging research includes examination of census records, archaeological artifacts, castle carvings, cemetery inscriptions, religious seals, coinage, burgess and guild member rolls, noble genealogies, family crests, portraiture, and geographic place names.
