from which the following excerpts are
taken: . "
'Our remote ancestors , probably
crossed the waters to America at least
800 years ago. Whatever credit there
may be in having distinctive pure Amer
icas blood-we certainly have the right
to that distinction. .The family name
of yBosorth' would seem to denote
ancestor, as far aa we know definitely
at this time, jonatnan vosortn, waa a
very early resident of Kentucky, and
practically " all the residents of that
state at that time were immigrants from
the Carollnas and Virginia, I think it
very likely that the earlier ancestors
ware of one of the colonies of the per"
secuted ' French Huguenots who were
driven from their mother country
through -the religious persecutions dur
ing the to years following the massacre
of St. Bartholomew In August, 1573,
and landed on the coast of Carolina.
From there these people (Went princi
pally to the south and west. The Bo

large families have predominated.
"'Jonathan Bosorth was born In 1781
and lived In Kentucky. He died In
1836. X have no knowledge of his wife's
maiden name. Seven children were
born to him, namely: John, Abner, Ira,
Reason, Squire. Nancy- and Mary. Squire

11. ISM, waa married to Mllly Hoard
Willis, who was a girl of 14 H years
of age.' She was the daughter of Colo
nel Willis, who was an American offi
cer in the war of the revolution. Squire

Captain Miller. He moved from Kentucky

' . THEATRE PROJECT
New Organization Formed to Build
- Big Playhouse) for the.
Children.
Mew Tork, June 17, -The Educational
theatre of New Tork, with, Mark Twain
as president of its board of directors,
has filed a certificate of 'Incorporation
and wll) Immediately begin to raise
funds for a large building with an audi
torium seating at least 1.000 for the
presentation of plays by children and
young people,
- This spring It was decided by the
Educational Alliance that the Children's
thahtre had grown to such proportions
that it should be a distinct organization.
This will begin Its work on July 1 un
der Mr. Twain, Robert J. Collier, Stan
ley Hall, president of Clark University;
the Rev. Percy . S. Grant, Otto Kahn,
Charles E. Miner and Miss A. M. Herts,
who compose the board of directors.
Mark Twain first became interested
In the work when he went to the Edu
cational alliance to witness a produc
tion of his play, "The Prince and the
Pauper." - . - :
Miss Herts, secretary of the board,
said last night:
"The Educational theatre will strive
to raise the morals of young people
who havenu't wide opportunities for
recreation. It will be an outlet for
youthfulness, and will save young men
and young women from being drawn
into the handa of elocutionists and later
to a cheap stage, where they become fix
tures." "
In the theatre to be erected by the
new organisation there will be class
rooms and halls for social gatherings
and orchestral rehearsals. iTor the pres
ent the theatre association will meet at
