Excerpt from The History of the Shinn Family in Europe and America To write the history of a family is a task surrounded by many difficulties. That history begins, as a rule, at a period when reading and writing were not the common heritage of mankind; it covers the lives of a line of people who, because they were not conspicuous in the world's affairs, failed to construct pedigrees, as did the greater men of history; it takes in a vast body of plain people, living by the nobler arts of peace and trade, who look with suspicion upon the blazoning of arms, crests, and pedigrees, and pass to the other extreme of keeping no record at all; it sweeps over periods of time engulfed in social, political or religious turmoil, when even the legal records are suspended; it embraces all kinds and conditions of men widely dispersed; for these and other reasons the creation of an accurate family history is difficult, if not impossible. I have tried to write such a history in these pages, and on the eve of giving it to the family at large, am free to admit that it is at best a very imperfect sketch. It represents years of labor, however, and is a creation that has absorbed my attention and affection. It is given to the family for their guidance and criticism. Wherever it is true it will obtain commendation; and wherein it departs from truth it will receive condemnation. It is launched with high hopes of a successful career. At the outset I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. Richard Cadbury, of Philadelphia, who copied for my use every reference in the Minute Books of the Burlington Monthly Meeting of Friends, the Springfield Minutes, the Chesterfield Minutes, the Mt. Holly minutes, the Evesham and Upper Evesham Minutes. Without these it would have been impossible to write the story. I am also indebted to Hon. John Clement, of Haddonfield, for a thorough investigation of the Records at Trenton. N. J., and other places; the records of wills, deeds, administration papers, court minutes and marriage license records, so far as they refer to the name Shinn, were all transcribed by him and forwarded to me as a supplement to the church records prepared by Mr. Cadbury. Both these gentlemen have passed away, but their work appears in every line of this history for the period 1678-1800. To Mr. Kirk Brown, of Baltimore, I am indebted for transcripts of the Minutes of Friends Meetings at Goose Creek, Crooked Run, Hopewell, Warrenton and Fairfax. Judge Thomas B. Jobes sent an abstract of the deed records of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Mr. Willit Shinn has gone among the living and obtained private records, which I could not obtain. To a lesser degree I am indebted to Mrs. Mary Graham, of Miranda, N.C.; Mr. James F. Shinn, of Norwood. N. C.; Pfof. H.Frank Smith, Mr. J.C. Shinn and Dr. George W.Harkey, of Russellville. Ark.; to Dr. Quillen H.Shinn, of Cambridge.;Mass.: to Irs. Hannah A. Beal. of Agricultural College, Mich.: to Prof. Samuel Grant Oliphant. of Baltimore. Md.: to James Thornton Shinn, of Philadelphia, Pa.; to A.C. Shinn, Ottawa, Kan.: to Benjamin G.v Shinn, Hartford City, Ind.; Rev. James Gallaher Shinn, Atlantic City, N.J.; to W. B.Stackhouse, Medford. X.d. and to Mrs. Marv Shinn Bennett, Fruit Hill, Ohio. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A biography of the famous eighteenth-century Quaker whose abolitionist fervor and spiritual practice made him a model for generations of Americans John Woolman (1720–72) was perhaps the most significant American of his age, though he was not a famous politician, general, or man of letters, and never held public office. A humble Quaker tailor in New Jersey, he became a prophetic voice for the entire Anglo-American world when he denounced the evils of slavery in Quaker meetings, then in essays and his Journal, first published in 1774. In this illuminating new biography, Thomas P. Slaughter goes behind those famous texts to locate the sources of Woolman's political and spiritual power. Slaughter's penetrating work shows how this plainspoken mystic transformed himself into a prophetic, unforgettable figure. Devoting himself to extremes of self-purification—dressing only in white, refusing to ride horses or in horse-drawn carriages—Woolman might briefly puzzle people; but his preaching against slavery, rum, tea, silver, forced labor, war taxes, and rampant consumerism was infused with a benign confidence that ordinary people could achieve spiritual perfection, and this goodness gave his message persuasive power and enduring influence. Placing Woolman in the full context of his times, Slaughter paints the portrait of a hero—and not just for the Quakers, social reformers, labor organizers, socialists, and peace advocates who have long admired him. He was an extraordinary original, an American for the ages.
