Note for: Joseph Dampier, 1590 - 1645 Index

Residence:
     Place:   Queen Camel (Castle Cary), Somerset, Eng.

Individual Note:
     Most of the descendants of Joseph Dampier were researched by A. Alexander Greenwood, F.R.S.A, PhD in 1991 for Lawrence Dampier

According to the first sheet, Joseph was "Dampier of Somerset", lineal descendant of a Count of Flanders (de Dampierre) from the Duchy of Burgundy (including French Flanders)

The town of Dampierre is just east of Dijon

Members of the Dampierre family settled at Bramhall in Cheshire as early as the 13th century and assumed the anglicised name of "de Davenport". Some 250 years later members of the same family settled in Somerset and Dorset with the English aliases of Damport and Dampier

Note for: John R. Rushton, BET 1724 AND 1727 - 17 DEC 1799 Index

Individual Note:
(from rickmiller website...)

[NI1281] John & Mary are the ancestors of the Rushton line who crossed the Canadian border, settling in Nova Scotia sometime between the birth of son Jeremiah (1757) and daughter Mary (1760). Some sources indicate the spelling may have been Rustin or Ruston there. It is quite possible that this family who came from Westchester, NY settled the town Westchester, Nova Scotia. Perhaps there was a group of citizens from NY who moved together to begin a new colony. Geographically, there is today a Westchester Valley in an unincorporated area with Rushton Brook running through it.

The grandchildren of John & Mary were the generation who began to migrate back to the U.S. around the time of the Civil War.

John enlisted as a volunteer in the Revolutionary War on March 23, 1759. On his Muster Roll, his age is given at 28, and birthplace is Ireland. He was in the company of Capt. Buckout; enlisting officer Capt. William Gilchrist. As an interesting side note, every one of the men listed on the two pages viewed were under six feet tall -- the tallest being 5' 11". John was only 5' 3", but the majority of the men averaged about 5' 6" - 5' 7".

John Rushton was one of the recipients of the Dorchester grant in 1786.

Note for: David Fleetham, 1958 - Index

Individual Note:
David was born in Vancouver, Canada in 1958. He grew up in Ontario, Canada just outside of Toronto and in his last year of high school he learned to scuba dive in a man-made lake. Soon after he purchased an Ikelite housing and a Minolta SLR camera and spent three months in the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean. With his eyes wide open he returned to land locked Ontario just long enough to pack his bags and move back to Canada's west coast. Here David worked in several dive businesses, became a scuba instructor and continued focusing on underwater photography (his passion). His first published photo was during this time. It was a cover on Diver Magazine (divermag.com) where David's images still appear to this date. He acknowledges Neil McDaniel (then editor of Diver magazine) and his photography as one of his first influences. "Neil's work was very precise for the time. I learned much from studying his images and techniques."
In 1986 David left Vancouver for the island of Maui, Hawaii where he again worked in various dive charter businesses and earned a USCG Captain's license, all the while shooting and submitting his underwater images to magazines and businesses. David was approached by his first stock agency shortly after coming to Hawaii and now has several around the world that represent his work.

From Hawaii, David has been on assignments to, Indonesia, The Galapagos Islands, Saipan, Truk Lagoon, Fiji, Thailand, Myanmar (Burma), Palau, Yap, Guam, Kwajalein Atoll, Pohnpei, Honduras, Bahamas, Australia, the Sea of Cortez, the Red Sea, the Socorro Islands and back to the cold waters of British Columbia.

National Geographic hired Mr. Fleetham to escort David Doubilet while on assignment in Hawaii. Mr. Fleetham recognizes Doubilet's work as another influence on his career. "Doubilet is constantly taking the art of underwater photography to another level. Over the years his images have encouraged me to take chances with photographic encounters that I may not have, had I not had my nose in National Geographic from the beginning." Mr. Fleetham's work has appeared in National Geographic.

David's photographs have been published around the globe, with over one hundred magazine covers to date. In 1991 his photograph of a sandbar shark appeared on the cover of LIFE. It is the only underwater photograph to ever be selected for the cover. His award winning work has been published by National Geographic, The Cousteau Society, and every North American diving publication. The Smithsonian Museum, The North Carolina Museum of Natural History, The London Zoo, Hong Kong Museum, The Waikiki, Vancouver, Monterey Bay, John G. Shedd Aquarium, Maui Ocean Center and the Aquarium of the Americas all display his work.

David received a Honorary Mention in the Professional Division of the United Nations Environment Programme 1994-1995 International Photographic Competition on the Environment. It was the only underwater image chosen in the entire competition. He again received the same mention in the 1999-2000 Competition. In 1997 three of his images were chosen in the British Gas Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition and he was flown to London to accept his award. In 2000 he took several awards, including a first place in the Kodak Oceanz contest in New Zealand.

On November 28th, 1998 Mr. Fleetham married Denise Maria Toledo on private land in Kahakaloa Valley, North Maui. They met through mutual friends in California. On July 18th Denise gave birth to their first son, Sean Magnus Fleetham. They live on the side of Haleakala on Maui where they have an office attached to their home with a view of the ocean, where David is still hired to shoot many of his assignments.

Mr. Fleetham shoots primarily with 35mm Canon SLR cameras in Ikelite and Aquatica cameras. He uses various twin Ikelite strobe setups to light his images and Kodak VS and Fuji Velvia film.

Note for: John Rushton, - Index

Individual Note:
(from the internet...)

"I have read a reference regarding a John Rushton of New York, wife Sarah in 1719. It indicates he accepted an apprentice into indenture in November of that year. Is anyone aware of what John's occupation may have been at that time?

Currently searching for lead to check out British apprenticeship records as John would have had to be over 25 and a Freeman in order to accept an apprentice. If he were born in England there should be a record. Has anyone found an indenture book for New York State for that period, or was this a random record?

I haven't found a record of marriage for he and Sarah, but have four possibilities in England from four different regions.

I connect through their son John born 1727 marriage to Mary Coon. I presume there were a number of other children born to John and Sarah Rushton between 1719 and 1727."
