Revised RD 600/Bradbury

Legg inn av Gjest » 06 apr 2006 20:59:01

Hello list,

Has anyone yet purchased the new revised edition of RD600?

A website description includes the following: "Other much improved immigrants treated in this Note section are Colepeppers (Culpeper) of VA, and Thomas Bradbury of Mass. (this last from the late Marshall Kirk)."

I corresponded with Marshall from time to time about his investigations into various branches of Bradbury's ancestry, including what he characterized as a speculative new line for Bradbury. At the time, Marshall was looking for a place to publish on this line, and I now understand that his essay will soon appear in the Register. Although I know of one or two generations in the proposed line, Marshall didn't want to disclose too much before publication. Does anyone know to which king the new speculative line leads, or any other details?

Not really certain, but I hope it is more substantive than the rest of
Marshall's speculative concoctions.

Brandon,

I have Marshall's 'speculative concoction' on the Bendyshe/Bradbury
relationship.

Could you indicate what part of the content is not substantiated by
hard evidence?.

Nice gratuitous slam of a dead person! Does this keep you in the pointless-and-baseless-insult game, John Brandon, aka starbuck95@hotmail.com?

Nothing gratuitous about it, T. Stanford. It is an accurate
characterization of Marshall Kirk's writing from my point of view. No
matter how grandiose your language, without certain basic facts proven,
it's still cotton-candy. His over-elaborate prose style actually
detracted from the believability of his arguments. Who could be
bothered to read to the end with so little substance apparent?

Yes, it IS gratuitous. It was unnecessary, unneeded and added NOTHING to the discussion. It was just an opportunity grabbed to insult someone.

Your point of view does not, as implied here, of necessity make it accurate.

| No matter how grandiose your language, without certain basic facts proven,

So, because you can't understand him, he's wrong. I'm sure he repented of this grievous sin before the end.

I, and many, many others. So, we now know whereof Marshall wrote. We know that he had a wealth of supportive data to back up his theses; and that they were neither speculative, nor concoctions.

Serving notice: I shan't continue this debate, for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that, by your own admission, you don't read those things which you criticise, because, by your own admission, the style is too advanced for you and/or your tastes. Nor is that the only reason. Now, I feel the need to shower.
