10-4. JOHN GUERRANT BOATWRIGHT (HERBERT LEE9, JOHN GUERRANT8, JOHN R.7, REUBEN6, JOHN5, BENONI4, JOHN3, JOHN2, JOHN1) was born 21 Aug 1892 in Danville, Virginia, and died 06 Jun 1983.

Notes for JOHN GUERRANT BOATWRIGHT:
The Boatwrights' long interest in cultural and historic
preservation was evidenced also by their careful restoration, beginning in the 1930s, of the
house and gardens at Dan's Hill. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this
antebellum landmark at the western edge of the city was, for a generation, the home also to the
Boatwrights' son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn B. Updike, Jr.
Dan's Hill was built around 1833 for Robert and Catherine Ann Pannill Wilson. Mrs. Wilson grew up at Green Hill (below), which has a remarkably similar appearance to Dan's Hill.
It is thought that Dan's Hill may have been designed and built by James Dejarnett, an area master builder. Pillared porticos grace the front and rear of the home. The interior features Federal woodwork, marble mantels, ornamental plasterwork ceilings, arched doorways between the two drawing rooms, and an elliptical arch in the entrance hall.
Dan's Hill is listed on the Virginia Historical Register and National Register of Historic Places. It has been owned by two families, the Wilsons and the Boatwrights/Updikes, both of whom have taken extraordinary care of the house and grounds. The property is located along the north bank of the Dan River on the west side of Danville, in the Birnam Wood area.
The residence and numerous outbuildings were in course of construction for a period of about eight years, and were completed in 1833. The estate, situated about five miles from Danville on the Dan River, comprises an area of approximately sixteen hundred acres.
Until recently the estate was owned by Robert Wilson James, being of the fifth generation in direct descent to
have lived here. Within the last few years this property came into the possession of Mr. John Boatwright.

Carter Glass quotes:
“A liberal is a man who is willing to spend somebody else's money”
“Is there any reason why the American people should be taxed to guarantee the debts of banks, any more than they should be taxed to guarantee the debts of other institutions, including merchants, the industries, and the mills of the country?”

The late Howard Boatwright was inspired and mentored by Paul Hindemith at Yale University
during the 1940's. Widely traveled and greatly respected he was asked to become the Dean
of the School of Music at Syracuse University in 1964. In his words: "A change from New
Haven to Syracuse brought a change also in the motivations for composing....A result of
this change of environment was that I decided I had to come to grips with fully
chromatic music not relying on tonal functions for its clarity of form and expression."

Howard Boatwright, Violinist, Composer and Professor, 80
By ALLAN KOZINN
Howard Boatwright, a prolific composer who was also a concert violinist, a musicologist and the author of a widely used music theory textbook, died on Saturday at Crouse Memorial Hospital in Syracuse. He was 80 and lived in Fayetteville, N.Y.
The cause was heart failure, said John Harvith, a spokesman for Syracuse University, where Mr. Boatwright was the dean of the music school from 1964 to 1971, before becoming a professor of composition and theory at the university.
Mr. Boatwright's works were often rigorously chromatic, but by adhering to traditional classical structures and by using rugged harmonies to support arching, shapely themes, he invariably created pieces with an appealing clarity, directness and emotional resonance. Recordings of several of his works, most notably the vital String Quartet No. 2 (1975), have been released by CRI Records, and the label recently reissued them on a CD compilation (CRI 775).
He published about 100 works, including a Symphony (1976), Variations for Small Orchestra (1949), a Serenade for Strings and Winds (1952), a Clarinet Sonata (1980), about 20 choral works and 50 songs.
He intended to become a violinist not a composer but began writing music in 1941 as a way to court Helen Strassburger, a soprano. They married in 1943 and performed and recorded new music, standard repertory and early music together for many years. The first songs he wrote for his wife were not performed until November, when she sang them in a recital in Syracuse.
Mr. Boatwright was born in Newport News, Va., and began studying the violin when he was 10. He worked with a single teacher, Israel Feldman, until 1942, when Mr. Boatwright played a New York debut recital at Town Hall. The next year, he joined the faculty of the University of Texas in Austin, and in 1946 he went to Yale University to study composition with Paul Hindemith.
After Mr. Boatwright completed his master's degree, Hindemith recommended him for a faculty position at Yale, which he held until 1964. Mr. Boatwright also conducted the Yale Symphony, was concertmaster of the New Haven Symphony Orchestra and first violinist of the Yale String Quartet. As a member of Hindemith's Collegium Musicum, he took up early instruments for performances of Baroque works, and as the director of music at St. Thomas Church in New Haven he presented programs of Baroque rarities.
By the time he left Yale to become dean of the Syracuse University School of Music in 1964, Mr. Boatwright had published his "Introduction to the Theory of Music" (1956) and two books on Indian music, "Indian Classical Music and the Western Listener" and "A Handbook on Staff Notation for Indian Music," that he wrote after a year in Bombay as a Fulbright lecturer. His most recent book was the 1994 "Chromaticism: Theory and Practice."
In Syracuse Mr. Boatwright transformed the music school, making it an important center of composition and new-music performance by presenting festivals and establishing an electronic music studio. He also introduced non-Western music to the curriculum and expanded its earlymusic programs by acquiring collections of antique instruments. From 1969 to 1988, when he stopped teaching, he also directed a summer music program in Switzerland.
Besides his wife, he is survived by a daughter, Alice Karth Boatwright of San Francisco; two sons, Howard 3d, of Fayetteville, N.Y., and David Alexander, of Northampton, Mass., and a brother, Paul Mabry Boatwright, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
