The Drake Family of New Hampshire Robert, of I-Iampton, and Some of His Descendants: a Genealogy Compiled By The Drake Family of New Hampshire Robert, of I-Iampton, and some of his descendants: a genealogy compiled by ALICE SMITH THOMPSON with an historical introduction on the family background in England by Sir Anthony Richard Wagner CONCORD New Hampshire Historical Society 1962 COPYRIGHT· 1962 · BY THE TRUSTEES OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA The Drake Family of New Hampshire PUBLISHER'S PREFACE HE chronicle of an American family through ten genera­ tions or more offers an intimate view of the country's history. TWhen the record centers upon a particular region, the ac­ count gains both in human interest and in the interpretation of ideas, events and conditions of living within society. The standard materials offamily history, such as vital data, transcripts ofdeeds, wills and other legal documents, diaries and personal or business letters, are among the foundation stones of history. It is of course essential that genealogists and other searchers in family archives should possess and be possessed by a zeal for exactness and a diligence and skill to dig out the last kernels of evidence. The present book is an admirable demonstration ofthese principles. The work on the New Hampshire Drakes is basically that of the well­ known Boston antiquarian and scholar, Samuel Gardner Drake, who compiled and published in 1845 a genealogy that is an early model of clarity and accuracy. Twenty-two years later, after much more re­ search both here and abroad, he brought out a chart of the Robert Drake lineage to amplify and emend his earlier findings. At this point the study rested for many years. Then James Frank Drake, a devoted son of that branch of the family which had settled in Pittsfield, New Hampshire, and the sponsor of the history of that town, recognized the dangers of further neglect and took decisive action. Colonel Drake, a retired industrial leader with executive ability and the experience to organize plans of procedure, and pos­ sessing the means and energy to carry them through, has engaged, to supplement his own researches, the most expert help available in every department of the project. With characteristic determination he has led the attack on particular problems connected with the work, such as the English background of the family, and has thus made pos- V sible the addition of much important material that the best efforts of his predecessor had failed to discover. (Drake in England, a supple­ ment to this volume, contains the reports of research on those of un­ proved, indirect, or perhaps no connection with the New Hamp­ shire family.) Colonel Drake, a loyal member and trustee of this Society, has now generously turned over to it the completed book, and the So­ ciety is grateful to him for the opportunity of presenting the volume to the public, under its imprint.

The many helping hands­ those especially of the New Hampshire State Library and of the staff of the State Department of Vital Statistics; those of the descendants of Robert Drake who wrote letters-cannot possibly be enumerated though they are nonetheless appreciated. However, it is necessary to mention the services and encouragement of the late Franklin C. Thompson, husband of the compiler, in furthering the project. Grateful acknowledgment must also be expressed to the following contributors: staff members at the College of Arms and particularly Mr. Thomas Woodard who conducted most of the research under Sir Anthony Wagner's direction; the Essex Record Office and the Vicars of Halstead and Elmstead for courtesies reflected in the illus­ trations; the Meriden Gravure Company for expert handling of the collotype reproductions; and George M.

    “Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil” English Identity and the Law of Arms in Early Modern England Claire Renée Kennedy A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History and Philosophy of Science University of Sydney 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My greatest thanks and appreciation to Ofer Gal, who supervised my PhD with constant interest, insightfulness and support. This thesis owes so much to his helpful conversation and encouraging supervision and guidance. I have benefitted immensely from the suggestions and criticisms of my examiners, John Sutton, Nick Wilding, and Anthony Grafton, to whom I owe a particular debt. Grafton’s suggestion during the very early stages of my candidature that the quarrel between William Camden and Ralph Brooke might provide a promising avenue for research provided much inspiration for the larger project. I am greatly indebted to the staff in the Unit for History and Philosophy of Science: in particular, Hans Pols for his unwavering support and encouragement; Daniela Helbig, for providing some much-needed motivation during the home-stretch; and Debbie Castle, for her encouraging and reassuring presence. I have benefitted immensely from conversations with friends, in and outside the Unit for HPS. This includes, (but is not limited to): Megan Baumhammer, Sahar Tavakoli, Ian Lawson, Nick Bozic, Gemma Lucy Smart, Georg Repnikov, Anson Fehross, Caitrin Donovan, Stefan Gawronski, Angus Cornwell, Brenda Rosales and Carrie Hardie. My particular thanks to Kathryn Ticehurst and Laura Sumrall, for their willingness to read drafts, to listen, and to help me clarify my thoughts and ideas. My thanks also to the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters, University College London, and the History of Science Program, Princeton University, where I benefitted from spending time as a visiting research student.

À propos Rictor Norton's amazing Mistress of Udolpho, a query regarding the identity of Ann Radcliffe's husband, William Radcliffe: W. L Renwick, in his English Literature 1789-1815 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1963) pp. 85-6, writes of Gaston de Blondeville: ‘This was written to amuse her husband, now Rouge Croix Pursuivant in the College of Heralds and Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries …’. Bonamy Dobrée, in his introduction to his 1966 edition of Udolpho, also mentions these distinctions, as well as William’s proprietorship of the English Chronicle. Although Norton alludes to William's ‘antiquarian’ interests in his chapter on Gaston, he doesn't mention the Rouge Croix – not even to dismiss it out of hand as erroneous, as he does with the 'farago of nonsense' that William had given up his employment in the British Embassy in Italy to enter journalism. There's no mention of the Rouge Croix & Society of Antiquaries in Robert Miles' The Great Enchantress either, or in Deborah Rogers' books on Radcliffe. Why has reference to these alleged offices held by William apparently disappeared into oblivion? January 2001 William Radcliffe Rouge Croix – a horrid mystery? A report of William Radcliffe's initial appointment by King George III to the office of Rouge Croix appears in Cobbett's Weekly Political Register, Vol. III, No. 22, Sat. June 4. 1803, p. 861, as having been announced at Whitehall on May 12. This Radcliffe is said to be 'of Barnsley in the County of York'.

  • 123562525-The-Common-Necessaries
    “The common necessaries of life …” A Revolutionary Soldier’s Wooden Bowl John U. Rees Dedicated to the late Sally Paxson Davis for her kindness and generosity in sharing a family treasure. Artifacts connected to an individual Revolutionary War common soldier are rare, especially personal items like the mess bowl recently donated to Solebury Township Historical Society, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. That receptacle, belonging to an anonymous soldier, was left in the hands of a Solebury Township family, and passed from generation to generation down to the present–day. Having learned of its existence several years ago, in 2007 I was fortunate enough to learn the bowl’s whereabouts and arrange to examine it in person. At the time of the War for American Independence the village of Aquetong , also known as Paxson’s Corner, was on the York Road, nearly midway between Lahaska and the Great (Ingham’s) Spring (Solebury Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania., present– day Route 202/York Road and Aquetong Road, about 4 miles west of New Hope/Coryell's Ferry). “Rolling Green” the “fine Colonial mansion,” still to be seen on the north side of York Road, was owned by Benjamin Paxson at the time of the War for Independence. Paxson family history notes that, “a soldier, who was taken ill and died there after the army had moved on, was buried on the Paxson property.” In 1926 Henry D. Paxson told of ‘a relic preserved by the Paxson family … a wooden bowl left by a Continental soldier from a southern State, who had been taken ill with a fever and was nursed by the family [until his death].” The incident may have occurred during the Monmouth campaign, Henry Paxson claiming that Maj.

    9 『英米文化』46, 9–22 (2016) ISSN: 0917–3536 An Unusual Moment in Book History: Text and Image in the Works of Francis Sandford1 TAKANO Michiyo Abstract This study aims to situate Francis Sandford’s works in the context of English book his- tory. In particular, I seek to discover the unusualness embodied in these books, with special attention to A Genealogical History of the Kings of England, and Monarchs of Great Britain (1677). Sandford established trusting relationships with his kings, and the books he pub- lished during his service as a herald were for and about the royal family. Although this study is mainly concerned with the Genealogical History, the backgrounds and circumstances of the other works need to be discussed as well, given the lack of sufficient studies. In particu- lar, the integration of text and illustration is an area of great interest in Sandford’s books. Therefore, this study also examines the print culture of seventeenth-century England, as well as the engravers and etchers of that time. Introduction The herald and genealogist Francis Sandford (1630–94) published four books, all of which concern the royal family. These books reflect Sandford’s diligent research on his sub- jects, and with their fine, abundant illustrations they have great significance for early mod- ern book history. There is relatively little information about Sandford. Perhaps the most reliable biographi- cal source is Anthony Wood’s Fasti Oxonienses (1691). Wood briefly describes Sandford’s early life, his promotion to herald after the Restoration, and his publications. However, Wood was not particularly knowledgeable about Sandford’s life at the time of writing, only mentioning that Sandford lived in or near Bloomsbury around 1691.
