No, the phrase didn't originate with Star Trek -- I don't know the origin, but it appears in the history of the 67th North Carolina Infantry Regiment, Confederate Army, published in 1901 by the State of North Carolina. As you might surmise, one of my ancestors, Durant Williams, served with that unit during the Civil War. Other Confederate ancestors of mine include Moses Gooding, Private, 66th North Carolina Infantry, and John Flavius Maxwell (later, Doctor of Medicine), Private, 3rd North Carolina Junior Volunteer Infantry. My mother's family, which included these three individuals, was comprised of English and Scots-Irish, who immigrated through Virginia or North Carolina between 1620 and 1715. The families which I can trace on my mother's side include: Grady, Houston, Barfield, Outlaw, Whitfield, Williams, Gooding, Smith and Maxwell. My father's ancestors, predictably, were Yankees. Union Ancestors from the Civil War include William Pomeroy Brooks, Lieutenant, 29th Connecticut Infantry (Colored), and James M. Galbreath, Corporal, 130th Indiana Volunteer Infantry. The families about whom I have information on my father's side include: Brooks, Clark, Smith, Newman and Galbreath. These ancestral groups were comprised of English and Irish who immigrated through Massachusetts and Connecticut between 1636 and 1850. Thanks for stopping by for a visit. |
