The Sampson Family The Sampson family: Genealogical Memoirs of the Sampson Family in America, from the Arrival of the Mayflower in 1620 to the Present Time by John Adams Vinton Boston, MA 1864 THE S-1\MPSON F ATufIL Y. liosT of the Sampsons in America., it is presumed, are descendants of 1lENRY1 and ABRAHAl\l1 SAl\IPSON of Duxbury.* Whether these two original emigrants were brothers, is not known. We suppose that they were. vVhile there is no known f:'lct, which n1ilitates against the supposition ; the fact that two men of the same name, of not dissimilar __ age and condition, are found living side by side in the same town~ a town containing then but a small population, so early in the history of New England, and when there was so little to attract emigrants to that por­ tion at least of our coast, this fact of itself goes far towards strengthen­ ing the presumption-the belief, even-that these two men were brothers. The destruction of the early records of Duxbury (prior to 1666) by _fire, and the unsatisfactory manner in which, for the most part, they have since been kept, renders the tusk of him who would construct a full and clear Genealogy of any ancient family of that most re~pectable town, exceedingly arduous. The compiler of this volume has never found himself beset with more serious difficulties in any undertaking of this nature. Some questions of descent he has been compelled to give up in despair. The reader will fin<l them as he procec<ls. The ensuing l\Iemoir is derived fro1n the following fources: Perf:onal researches in the Old Colony Records and the ProLate Office at Ply­ mouth; "\Vinsor's :History of Duxbury; a Genealogical l\Icmoir in 1\1S. of the Sampson Family in Plympton, compiled in 1832, by Deacon Lewis Bradford, town clerk of Plympton, with additions by another hand; researches in the records of Duxbury, Plymouth, Pembroke, lHid<lleborough, .Boston, Beverly, and other towns, made by the compiler, or by others at his request; a l\lS. of l\Ir. Thomas Bra<lford Drew of Plymouth; communications made to the compiler by l\fr. Joseph Allen San1pson of Duxbury, l\lr. .Alfred ,v ood of l\li<ldleborough, l\Iiss l\Iarcia A. Thomas of l\1arshfield, and many othcr8. The l\Ia~s. Archi,·es have also been thoroughly examined by the compiler. The name is SAMSON in 1'.early all the record~, down to a late pcriocl; which is no doubt the true orthography, derived from the sacred volume. But as the name now almost universally appears with a p, the modern usage is here followed throughout, or nearly so. The Sampson Family has become quite numerous. The Boston Directory, for example, exhibits more than fifty of the name, while the New York and Brooklyn Directories have nearly an equal number. * Richard Sampson, a tailor, aged 28, embarked at London, in tl1c Elizabeth and Ann, for New England, May 14, 1635. [Gcncal. Reg., XIV., 314. 1 2 THE SA.MPSON FAMILY. FIRST GENERATION. 1. HENRY SA~IPSON1 was one of the company of Pilgrims who came in the world-renowned l\lAYFLo,vER to Plymouth in 1620. He was a member of the family of his uncle, Edward Tilley,* and was too young to sign the immortal compact of November 11, in the cabin of that ves- 8el, while at anchor in the harbor of Provincetown: He was, howeyer, enumerated in the assignment of land, 1623, and in the division of cat­ tle, 1627, and was admitted a freeman of Ply1nouth Colony in 1637. He early removed to Duxbury-probably with the first settlers of that town; and married ANN PL U:\BIER, Feb. 6, 1635-6.t He was one of the original grantees of Bridgewater,· 1645, but did not remove thither. He w~s constable of Duxbury, 1661. "This," says Winsor, ···'was an office of high trust and responsibility, and none were elected to it but men of good standing." He died Dec. 24, 1684. In his will, bearing date the same day, he mentions no wife, but to his sons Stephen, John, and James, gives a: tract of land he had purchased in Dartmouth ; to each of then1 a third part. To his son Caleb he gives one shilling. He also gives one shil­ ling each to dau. Elizabeth, wife of Robert Sproat ; to dau. Hannah, wife of Josiah Holmes; to his da.u. -- [ name not given J "now wife of John Hammond;" to dau. l\Iary, wife of John Summers; to dau. Dorcas, wife of Thomas Boney. l\Ir. Wiswall [Rev. Ichabod "\Viswall, pastor of Duxbury from 1676 to 1700] was to be overseer of the will. Thomas Delano and Joseph Chandler were witnesses. The will was exhibited before the [ General J Court of Plymouth, ~larch 5, 1684-5 ; and may be found in the Old Colony Records, Wills, Vol. 4, p. 94. The will thus indicates that the property of the testator, all but the Dartmouth purchase, had already been distributed among the heir$. Guided by the will, we make out the children of Benry Sampson, at the time of his death, to have been as follows : 2. Elizabeth,2 m. Robert Sproat, who was of Scituate, 1660, and died at Mid­ dleboro"!lgh, in 1712. 3. Hannah,2 m. Josiah Ho1mes2 of Duxbury, :March 20. 1665-6. For an account of her descendants, sec p. 185, an<l sequel, of this volume. 4. A daughter; whose name is not given; m. John Hammond.§ See above. * We learn this fact from GoYernor Bradford's List of passengers in the ~Iay­ flower, at the end of his long-lost and lately-recovered Hi::;tory, published by the .Massachusetts Historical Society in 1856. Bradford, in 1650, says-" the youth Henery Samson is still liveing, and is maricd, and hath 7. children." From this we infer that all the children of Henrv Samson in the above list were born before 1650, except Stephen and Caleb, who must have heen born after that date. t The will of ,John Barnes of Plymouth, dated ~Iarch 6, 1667-8, names his "cousen" the wife of Henry Sampson. ~ The only John Hammond known to me, who could be the hnshand of thig daughter of Henry Sampson, was horn in England, 1627. son of William and Eliz­ abeth Hammond, who settled in \Vatcrtown as early as 1642.

    The Implementation and Impact of the Reformation in Shropshire, 1545-1575 Elizabeth Murray A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts United Faculty of Theology The Melbourne College of Divinity October, 2007 Abstract Most English Reformation studies have been about the far north or the wealthier south-east. The poorer areas of the midlands and west have been largely passed over as less well-documented and thus less interesting. This thesis studying the north of the county of Shropshire demonstrates that the generally accepted model of the change from Roman Catholic to English Reformed worship does not adequately describe the experience of parishioners in that county. Acknowledgements I am grateful to Dr Craig D’Alton for his constant support and guidance as my supervisor. Thanks to Dr Dolly Mackinnon for introducing me to historical soundscapes with enthusiasm. Thanks also to the members of the Medieval Early Modern History Cohort for acting as a sounding board for ideas and for their assistance in transcribing the manuscripts in palaeography workshops. I wish to acknowledge the valuable assistance of various Shropshire and Staffordshire clergy, the staff of the Lichfield Heritage Centre and Lichfield Cathedral for permission to photograph churches and church plate. Thanks also to the Victoria & Albert Museum for access to their textiles collection. The staff at the Shropshire Archives, Shrewsbury were very helpful, as were the staff of the State Library of Victoria who retrieved all the volumes of the Transactions of the Shropshire Archaeological Society. I very much appreciate the ongoing support and love of my family.

It incorporates comparable data from the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and the Elizabeth I. Much of the analysis is quantitative in nature: chapters compare the appointments of justices of the peace during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, and reveal that purges of the commissions of the peace were far more common than is generally believed. Furthermore, purges appear to have been religiously- based, especially during the reign of Elizabeth I. There is a gap in the quantitative data beginning in 1569, only eleven years into Elizabeth I’s reign, which continues until 1584. In an effort to compensate for the loss of quantitative data, this dissertation analyzes a different primary source, William Lambarde’s guidebook for JPs, Eirenarcha. The fourth chapter makes particular use of Eirenarcha, exploring required duties both in and out of session, what technical and personal qualities were expected of JPs, and how well they lived up to them.

Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief.

    “Singing by Course” and the Politics of Worship in the Church of England, c1560–1640 By James Campbell Nelson Apgar A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Professor James Davies Professor Diego Pirillo Spring 2018 Abstract “Singing by Course” and the Politics of Worship in the Church of England, c1560–1640 by James Campbell Nelson Apgar Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair “Singing by course” was both a product of and a rhetorical tool within the religious discourses of post-Reformation England. Attached to a variety of ostensibly distinct practices, from choirs singing alternatim to congregations praying responsively, it was used to advance a variety of partisan agendas regarding performance and sound within the services of the English Church. This dissertation examines discourses of public worship that were conducted around and through “singing by course,” treating it as a linguistic and conceptual node within broader networks of contemporary religious debate. I thus attend less to the history of the vocal practices to which “by course” and similar descriptions were applied than to the polemical dynamics of these applications. Discussions of these terms and practices slipped both horizontally, to other matters of ritual practice, and vertically, to larger topics or frameworks such as the nature of the Christian Church, the production of piety, and the roles of sound and performance in corporate prayer. Through consideration of these issues, “singing by course” emerges as a rhetorical, political, and theological construction, one that circulated according to changing historical conditions and to the interests of various ecclesiastical constituencies.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • The College and Canons of St Stephen's, Westminster, 1348
    The College and Canons of St Stephen’s, Westminster, 1348 - 1548 Volume I of II Elizabeth Biggs PhD University of York History October 2016 Abstract This thesis is concerned with the college founded by Edward III in his principal palace of Westminster in 1348 and dissolved by Edward VI in 1548 in order to examine issues of royal patronage, the relationships of the Church to the Crown, and institutional networks across the later Middle Ages. As no internal archive survives from St Stephen’s College, this thesis depends on comparison with and reconstruction from royal records and the archives of other institutions, including those of its sister college, St George’s, Windsor. In so doing, it has two main aims: to place St Stephen’s College back into its place at the heart of Westminster’s political, religious and administrative life; and to develop a method for institutional history that is concerned more with connections than solely with the internal workings of a single institution. As there has been no full scholarly study of St Stephen’s College, this thesis provides a complete institutional history of the college from foundation to dissolution before turning to thematic consideration of its place in royal administration, music and worship, and the manor of Westminster. The circumstances and processes surrounding its foundation are compared with other such colleges to understand the multiple agencies that formed St Stephen’s, including that of the canons themselves. Kings and their relatives used St Stephen’s for their private worship and as a site of visible royal piety.

  • Episcopal Tombs in Early Modern England
    Jnl of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 55, No. 4, October 2004. f 2004 Cambridge University Press 654 DOI: 10.1017/S0022046904001502 Printed in the United Kingdom Episcopal Tombs in Early Modern England by PETER SHERLOCK The Reformation simultaneously transformed the identity and role of bishops in the Church of England, and the function of monuments to the dead. This article considers the extent to which tombs of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century bishops represented a set of episcopal ideals distinct from those conveyed by the monuments of earlier bishops on the one hand and contemporary laity and clergy on the other. It argues that in death bishops were increasingly undifferentiated from other groups such as the gentry in the dress, posture, location and inscriptions of their monuments. As a result of the inherent tension between tradition and reform which surrounded both bishops and tombs, episcopal monuments were unsuccessful as a means of enhancing the status or preserving the memory and teachings of their subjects in the wake of the Reformation. etween 1400 and 1700, some 466 bishops held office in England and Wales, for anything from a few months to several decades.1 The B majority died peacefully in their beds, some fading into relative obscurity.

  • The Elizabethan Protestant Press: a Study of the Printing and Publishing of Protestant Literature in English
    THE ELIZABETHAN PROTESTANT PRESS: A STUDY OF THE PRINTING AND PUBLISHING OF PROTESTANT RELIGIOUS LITERATURE IN ENGLISH, EXCLUDING BIBLES AND LITURGIES, 1558-1603. By WILLIAN CALDERWOOD, M.A., B.D. Submitted for the Ph.D. degree, University College. (c\ (LONBI 2 ABSTRACT Uninterrupted for forty-five years, from 1558 to 1603, Protestants in England were able to use the printing press to disseminate Protestant ideology. It was a period long enough for Protestantism to root itself deeply in the life of the nation and to accumulate its own distinctive literature. English Protestantism, like an inf ant vulnerable to the whim of a parent under King Henry VIII, like a headstrong and erratic child in Edward's reign, and like a sulking, chastised youth in the Marian years, had come of age by the end of the Elizabethan period. At the outset of Elizabeth's reign the most pressing religious need was a clear, well-reasoned defence of the Church of England. The publication of Bishop Jewel's Apologia Ecclesiae Anglicanae in 1562 was a response to that need and set the tone of literary polemics for the rest of the period. It was a time of muscle- flexing for the Elizabethan Church, and especially in the opening decades, a time when anti-Catholicism was particularly vehement. Consistently throughout the period, when Queen and country were threatened by Catholic intrigues and conspiracies, literature of exceptional virulence was published against Catholicism. But just as the press became an effective tool for defenders and apologists of the Church of England, it soon was being used as an instrument to advance the cause of further reform by more radical Protestants.

    American Voices. Remarks on the Earlier History of Art History in the United States and the Reception of Germanic Art Historians1 Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann A wave of studies in the historiography of art history has recently swept over both sides of the Atlantic, bringing with it a vogue for scholarship on German art historians who were active in America.2 Much information has been accumulated as a result. 1.This paper was originally published in Ars, 42:1, 2009, 128-52. As stated in the first note to the original publication, it draws upon two lectures. The first was given as ‘The American Voice. Deutsche Kunsthistoriker im Exil in den Vereinigten Staaten’, given at the meeting of Deutscher Kunsthistorikerverband, Hamburg, Germany, 23 March 2001, and then in English as ‘German Art Historians in the United States and Paul Frankl’, Moravská Galerie, Brno, Czech Republic, 26 June 2001, and as ‘German Art Historians in the United States’, Speed Museum of Art, Louisville, Kentucky, 27 September 2001. This lecture has been published in slightly different form as ‘The American Voice. German Historians of Art and Architecture in Exile in the United States’, in Heaven and Earth.
