Is Your Family Tree Accurate?
Errors abound in genealogies usually because we don’t recognize them, and like the flu, we keep passing the germs along. The internet has aided and abetted the spread of family trees—some with sources cited properly; but many of them must be put in the fiction section. A number belong in the fantasy area and others in Sci-Fi. To read more from Myra Vanderpool Gormley Please click link at Genealogy Magazine

The USS Newburyport 1919 L H Shattuck Shipyard Portsmouth NH
From Boston Herald 1919
![]()
From Historian Joe Callahan April 13, 2013
About the time of the start of the Civil War in 1861, the Navy Department purchased a sailing vessel and named it the USS Newburyport. It was the Navy’s intention to use the boat as a supply ship.
Soon after its acquisition it was discovered that there were serious defects in the hull that rendered the ship unfit for naval duty. As a result of the problem, the ship was assigned to the Navy’s Stone Fleet. The fleet consisted at the time of about 20 older ships and like the Newburyport no longer safe for sea duty. The ships of the fleet were loaded with stone and towed to a point near the entrance to the harbor of Charleston, S.C., where they were scuttled one after another to form a blockade of the harbor. This action did hamper enemy naval operations there during the war.
The second USS Newburyport was built during World War I at the L.H. Shattuck shipyard in Newington, N.H. It was a 274-foot steamer. It was designed as a cargo carrier and with a crew of 56 was intended to transport supplies to the troops serving in Europe.
The ship was christened on Aug. 15, 1919, by Mrs. David P. Page, wife of then Newburyport Mayor David P. Page. Many Newburyport men, including my grandfather, were employed in the ship’s building and many of their family members attended the christening ceremonies.
However, because the war had ended several months before this, the Newburyport was no longer needed by the Navy and never placed into active service and eventually ordered to be demolished. So much for the life of the second ship named in honor of the Clipper City.
In 1996 then Mayor George H. Lawler petitioned the Coast Guard to have a new cutter then under construction named the “City of Newburyport.” Locally it was felt that the city’s close ties to the Coast Guard, including the fact of its being the Coast Guard’s birthplace, would be a favorable factor resulting in positive action on Mayor Lawler’s request.
However, the mayor was eventually informed by Vice Adm. W.D. Shields that names of cities was not one of the categories from which names were used to name its ships.
Then in 1972 state Rep. George E. Twomey endeavored to have the Coast Guard name a new 400-foot icebreaker under construction in Seattle, Wash., after the City of Newburyport. Twomey’s efforts led to strong support from Sens. Edward M. Kennedy and Edward W. Brooke, U.S. Secretary of Transportation John Volpe and Congressman Michael J. Harrington and many others.
It was pointed out that the Coast Guard had other icebreakers with geographical names such as the Staten Island and the Burton Island and that naming the new ship after Newburyprt would be in line with past practices.
After about six months of the usual political wrangling back and forth, Twomey was notified by Adm. Chester R. Bender that despite the Coast Guard’s close historical relationship with the home of its birthplace, the new icebreaker was to be named the Polar Star.
Makes one wonder if after 40 years one more try might be worth the effort.

DEATH OF PRESIDENT JAMES GARFIELD
Danvers, Mass., 9th Mo., 24, 1881
I regret that it is not in my power to join the citizens of Amesbury and Salisbury in the memorial services on the occasion of the death of our lamented President. But in heart and sympathy I am with you. I share the great sorrow which overshadows the land; I fully appreciate the irretrievable loss. But it seems to me that the occasion is one for thankfulness as well as grief.
Through all the stages of the solemn tragedy which has just closed with the death of our noblest and best, I have felt that the Divine Providence was overruling the mighty affliction,—that the patient sufferer at Washington was drawing with cords of sympathy all sections and parties nearer to each other. And now, when South and North, Democrat and Republican, Radical and Conservative, lift their voices in one unbroken accord of lamentation; when I see how, in spite of the greed of gain, the lust of office, the strifes and narrowness of party politics, the great heart of the nation proves sound and loyal, I feel a new hope for the republic, I have a firmer faith in its stability. It is said that no man liveth and no man dieth to himself; and the pure and noble life of Garfield, and his slow, long martyrdom, so bravely borne in view of all, are, I believe, bearing for us as a people "the peaceable fruits of righteousness." We are stronger, wiser, better, for them.
With him it is well. His mission fulfilled, he goes to his grave by the Lakeside honored and lamented as man never was before. The whole world mourns him. There is no speech nor language where the voice of his praise is not heard. About his grave gather, with heads uncovered, the vast brotherhood of man.
And with us it is well, also. We are nearer a united people than ever before. We are at peace with all; our future is full of promise; our industrial and financial condition is hopeful. God grant that, while our material interests prosper, the moral and spiritual influence of the occasion may be permanently felt; that the solemn sacrament of Sorrow, whereof we have been made partakers, may be blest to the promotion of the righteousness which exalteth a nation.
