“It is a revered thing to see an ancient castle not in decay; how much more to behold an ancient family which has stood against the waves and weathers of time!” – Francis Bacon
Each day I wake with renewed energy to bring to life the accomplishments and lives of our people who walked before us.
My goal is to offer continuous blogging about historical and genealogical research. Mainly, I want to draw attention to the rich legacy that our ancestors worked so hard to leave for us and future generations.
Dr. Khadijah Matin, my younger sister, has been the family historian for years. The research focus for her doctoral thesis centered on our grandfather the Hon. John G. Pegg. I took from that it was time for me to begin my quest to find out about the rest of the family. There are some gaps in our historical timeline due to the lack of record-keeping, lost bibles, lost photographs, and limited oral folklore. I don’t think many of our ancestors realized they were making history. I believe that many were just too busy trying to make a living, keeping their families together and out of harm’s way.
The theme of my research is:
You cannot know where you are going until you know who you are, you cannot know who you are until you know who came before…It is only then you will find your true direction and reason for being… J. Gray ©

Midnight Lily
Midnight Lily
Lily blooming in the dead of night,
Dreaming of the sky, the sun, and its rise,
Know that you glitter in the absence of light,
Because it’s you who truly shines,
And dream of the honey bees, and breezes, and rains,
And the warmth, and life, and light of day,
And let the cicadas sing to you,
And twilight bless you with morning dew,
And remember while the sun’s has gone,
That the moon, and dark, and stars above love you too.

Because it’s you who truly shines,
And dream of the honey bees, and breezes, and rains,
And the warmth, and life, and light of day,
And let the cicadas sing to you,
And twilight bless you with morning dew,
But remember while the sun’s has gone,
That the moon, and dark, and stars above love you too.

Dreaming of the sky, the sun, and its rise,
Know that you glitter in the absence of light,
Because it’s you who truly shines,
And dream of the honey bees, butterflies, breezes, and rains,
And the warmth, and life, and light of day,
And let the cicadas sing to you,
And twilight bless you with morning dew,
But remember when the sun’s has gone,
And you sit in a somber silence,
That the moon, and dark, and stars above love you too.

Lily blooming in the dead of night,
Dreaming of the sky, the sun, and its rise,
Know that you glitter in the absence of light,
Because it’s _you_ who truly shines,
And dream of the honey bees, butterflies, breezes, and rains,
And the warmth, and life, and light of day,
And let the cicadas sing to you,
And twilight bless you with morning dew,
But remember when the sun’s has gone,
And you sit in a somber silence,
That the moon, and dark, and stars above _love you too._
Yes, we’re trying to find you all!

Apache people traditionally have lived in Eastern Arizona, Northern Mexico (Sonoraand Chihuahua), New Mexico, West Texas, and Southern Colorado. Apacheria, their collective homelands, consisted of high mountains, sheltered and watered valleys, deep canyons, deserts, and the SouthernGreat Plains. The Apache tribes fought theSpanish and Mexican peoples for centuries. The first Apache raids on Sonora appear to have taken place during the late 17th century. In 19th-century confrontations, the U.S. Armyfound the Apache to be fierce warriors and skillful strategists.The Apache (/əˈpætʃiː/; French: [a.paʃ]) are culturally related Native American tribes from the Southwestern United States and NorthernMexico. These indigenous peoples of North America speak Southern Athabaskan languages, which are related linguistically toAthabaskan languages in Alaska and westernCanada.
Apache groups are politically autonymous. The major groups speak several different languages and developed distinct and competitive cultures. The current division of Apache groups includes Western Apache, Chiricahua, Mescalero, Jicarilla, Lipan, andPlains Apache (also known as the Kiowa-Apache). Apache groups live in Oklahoma andTexas and on reservations in Arizona and New Mexico. Apache people have moved throughout the United States and elsewhere, including urban centers.

Cachí is a small town in the Orosí Valley of Cartago Province, central Costa Rica, southeast of the provincial capital of Cartago. It lies near the eastern bank of the man-made Lake Cachí, created by the damming of the Reventazon River which before the 1970s flowed past the town. The town is connected to Ujarrás, on the other side the lake.

Chiloé was originally populated by the native Chonos and Huilliche (southern Mapuche), who eked out a living from fishing and farming before the Spanish took possession of the island in 1567. For over three hundred years, Chiloé was isolated from mainland Chile owing to the fierce resistance of the mainland Mapuche to European colonists. As a result, the slow pace of island life saw little change. Ancud, in fact, was the last stronghold of the Spanish empire during the wars of Independence, before the final defeat by pro-independence forces in 1826. In spite of being used as a stopover during the California Gold Rush, Chiloé remained relatively isolated until the end of the twentieth century, though now it draws scores of visitors with its unique blend of architecture, cuisine and famous myths and legends.

Chipewyan, Athabaskan-speaking North American Indians of northern Canada. They originally inhabited a large triangular area with a base along the 1,000-mile-long (1,600 km) Churchill River and an apex some 700 miles (1,100 km) to the north; the land comprises boreal forests divided by stretches of barren ground.

Cree, one of the major Algonquian-speaking North American Indian tribes, whose domain included an immense area from east of the Hudson and James bays to as far west as Alberta and the Great Slave Lake in what is now Canada. Originally inhabiting a smaller nucleus of this area, they expanded rapidly in the 17th and 18th centuries after engaging in the fur trade and acquiring firearms; the name Cree is a truncated form of Kristineaux, a French adaptation of the self-name of the James Bay band. Wars with the Dakota Sioux and Blackfoot and severe smallpox epidemics, notably in 1784 and 1838, reduced their numbers.
At the time of Canada’s colonization by the French and English, there were two major divisions of Cree; both were typical American Subarctic peoples. Traditionally, the Woodland Cree, also called Swampy Cree or Maskegon, relied for subsistence on hunting, fowling, fishing, and collecting wild plant foods. They preferred hunting larger game such as caribou, moose, bear, and beaver but relied chiefly on hare for subsistence because of the scarcity of the other animals; the periodic scarcity of hare, however, sometimes caused famine. Woodland Cree social organization was based on bands of related families, with large groups coalescing for warfare. Fears of witchcraft and a respect for a variety of taboos and customs relating to the spirits of game animals pervaded historical Cree culture; shamans wielded great power.
