STOP trying to LABEL us as DEMS or Hillary supporters or worse

When the media looks at what is happening in social media and on the streets, being led by intelligent compassionate women, they want to put us in a convenient political bucket. They say "Where was this passion during the election?" to imply that, if had been present, HRC would now be president. Well, that is factually untrue. It was out there in pockets they were ignoring and obviously still do, just as the Democratic party was ignoring it. The women from the March were from several different political fronts. Many were democrats who felt that their candidate did not get the nomination. Some were independents who might have felt the same way. Others were Green party activists with Jill Stein always as their candidate. The coming together of these groups was a result of the winner, not the losers. The party chose their candidate irrespective of the passion that was evident elsewhere and not for her. Now the media needs to GROW UP and start doing some actual journalistic activities, which includes analyzing the force behind the movement. Is it Liberal? Is it Progressive? Or is it more than that? More than the sum of the parts? It was not just the "Women's March on Washington " that 5 women initiated. It grew way beyond their wildest imagination. It had a life of it's own. The marches errupted all over the map of the USA and all over the world. Each had it's own format, structure, focus. None was quite exactly like another. There was a central place to register your planned march but it was not managing marches. Unbeknown to many, the marches in some cases included "Pro-Life" and "Pro-Choice" participants. Following up "the organizers of the Women's March on Washington posted the "10 Actions for the first 100 Days" campaign to keep up the momentum from the march." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Women's_March

From England to New England - On my Maternal Grandmother's side

In the last post I outlined how my family comes from England on my maternal Grandfather's side the Kendall's. This time we will trace the roots back on my maternal Grandmother's side, Nutting. 

John Nutton was born on about 1575, in Edwardstone Suffolk, England. In the 1600 the family emigrated (were removed ) to and had settled Woburn Mass. John Nutting was born in 1620.

From "Surname Nutting" in Diggin History:

"Some believe that John Nutting was born sometime between 1620 and 1625 to parents John and Elizabeth Rawlings Nutting.  There is, however, a theory that he may have been a child in 1618 since a copyhold deed found among (John) Winthrop papers read: “John Nutton (Nutting) a lifelong tenant of one moiety of the lands of Groton Manor”.  The grantee named was John Nutton, Senior.  This would imply that there was a John Nutton (Nutting), Jr., and therefore that he had been born prior to 1618.

One source believes that John Nutting (Junior) immigrated in 1639, although it seems unclear as to when exactly he made the voyage across the Atlantic.  Nevertheless, the first solid reference to his presence in the Massachusetts Colony was the record of his marriage to Sarah Eggleton on August 28, 1650 in the town of Woburn.  Before their fifth wedding anniversary, three children were born"

Perhaps surprisingly, the Nuttings and two other families who were considering the move to Groton were met with opposition from the Church.  Nutting family historian Reverend John Keep Nutting wrote:

To us it would seem strange for a member about to remove from one town to another, to be expected to ask leave from the church.  In those days it was quite different.  Each new settlement was in reality, so far as all local interests were concerned, a small nation by itself.  Its voting citizens were the members of the church – none others.  And upon these the town rested for defence and for up-building.  Solemn vows bound these to mutual defence and helpfulness.  When therefore three leading families proposed to leave Chelmsford, it was no small matter.

Following a vote on December 23, 1661, there are no more mentions of the three families until they are granted letters allowing them to join the Groton church.  So, perhaps the removal took place either in late 1661 or early 1662.  John Nutting had proposed that his move to Groton would allow him to settle near the meetinghouse there.  On September 21, 1663 a vote was recorded wherein John Nutting was appointed the janitor of the meetinghouse"
