Learn to reconnect with plants and nature for collective healing in a world beset by environmental crisis with this herbalism and eco-activist handbook. “Breathtakingly beautiful . . . a gentle and welcoming hand offering to guide those of us seeking mindful connection and mutually nurturing paths through life in the Anthropocene.”—Whitney Leigh Morris, author of Small Space Style Alyson Morgan, a second-generation Haitian American, grew up feeling disconnected from her roots and suffering from the trauma of racism. To heal herself, she found a connection with the natural world around her: slowing down, respecting the seasons, and growing or foraging plants in her local area. To Alyson, connection with the earth means finding a sense of place and home in an era of stress and overwhelm. Now she shares her methods of homesteading for anyone to practice in their own life. Beautifully photographed, with plant monographs, illustrations, and recipes, Our Kindred Home explores our deep ties to the natural world and offers regenerative and sustainable ways of living. Alyson helps readers better understand the deep grief and systemic harm that stems from disconnection with nature, and provides pathways for healing, such as: • An exploration of ecological grief and its impacts • Information for working with subtle body energy • Tools for observing, identifying, foraging, and cultivating plants • Methods for creating infusions, honeys, vinegars, and oils • More than 80 seasonal and 40 plant monographs With the whole world in environmental crisis, creating a relationship with the earth that is reciprocal rather than exploitative and understanding our fundamental interconnectedness is more vital than ever. In Our Kindred Home, you'll find everyday ways to connect to the earth for resilience, resistance, liberation, and collective healing.

William Van Horne was a Baptist minister who served as a chaplin in the Revolutionary War. He married Lavinia Budd of New Jersey in 1772 and they had 9 children. Later the family moved to Ohio where many of their descendants still reside. Information on both their ancestors and their descendants are included in this volume.

In 1723 a number of Palatine families were allowed to take up lands in the Mohawk Valley of New York. Those settling in the bounds of the present county of Herkimer were known as the Burnetsfield Patentees, after the name of the grant made by New York Governor William Burnet, and are the subject of this formidable work. This book deals with the families established in the area before the Revolution, and detailed genealogies are given for almost 100 of them.

David Vandenbark (ca. 1757-1828) married Susannah Conine (1764-1846), daughter of Jacob and Mary Clover Conine, ca. 1795 in Morris County, New Jersey. They had four sons and a daughter, 1796-1807. David Vandenbark migrated to Muskingum County, Ohio, in 1800 and brought his family there in 1801. Descendants lived in Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, California, and elsewhere.
