  • James Sands of Block Island
    HERALDIC DESCRIPTION ARMS: Or, a fesse dancettee between three cross-crosslets fitchee gules. CREST: A griffin segreant per fesse or and gules. MoITo: Probum non poenitet. DESCENDANTS OF JAMES SANDS OF BLOCK ISLAND With notes on the WALKER, HUTCHINSON, RAY, GUTHRIE, PALGRAVE, CORNELL, AYSCOUGH, MIDDAGH, HOLT, AND HENSHAW FAMILIES Compiled by MALCOLM SANDS WILSON Privately Printed New York • 1949 Copyright 1949 by Malcolm Sands Wilson 770 Park Avenue, New York 21, N. Y. All rights reserved PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA The William Byrd Press, Inc., Richmond, Virginia Foreword The purpose of this Genealogy of the Sands Family, which is the result of much research, is to put on record a more comprehensive account than any so far published in this country. The "Descent of Comfort Sands & of his Children," by Temple Prime, New York, 1886; and "The Direct Forefathers and All the Descendants of Richardson Sands, etc.," by Benjamin Aymar Sands, New York, 1916, (from both of which volumes I have obtained material) are excellent as far as they go, but their scope is very limited, as was the intention of their com­ pilers. I have not attempted to undertake a full and complete genealogy of this family, but have endeavored to fill certain lines and bring more nearly to date the data collected by the late Fanning C. T. Beck and the late LeBaron Willard, (brother-in-law of my aunt Caroline Sands Willard). I take this opportunity to express my thanks to all members of the family who have rendered cheerful and cooperative assistance. It had been my intention to have a Part II in this volume, in which the English Family of Sands, Sandes, Sandis or Sandys were to have been treated, and where the connecting link between James Sands of Block Island and his English forebears was to be made clear.

Bishop of Brechin, and Primus of the Episcopal Church in Scotland. ILLUSTRATED BY A. C. CROLL MURRAY. Selkirk : The Scottish Chronicle" Offices. 1917. Co — V. PREFACE. The following chapters appeared in the pages of " The Scottish Chronicle " in 1915 and 1916, and it is owing to the courtesy of the Proprietor and Editor that they are now republished in book form. Their original publication in the pages of a Church newspaper will explain something of the lines on which the book is fashioned. The articles were written to explain and to describe the origin and de\elopment of the Armorial Bearings of the ancient Dioceses of Scotland. These Coats of arms are, and have been more or less con- tinuously, used by the Scottish Episcopal Church since they came into use in the middle of the 17th century, though whether the disestablished Church has a right to their use or not is a vexed question. Fox-Davies holds that the Church of Ireland and the Episcopal Chuich in Scotland lost their diocesan Coats of Arms on disestablishment, and that the Welsh Church will suffer the same loss when the Disestablishment Act comes into operation ( Public Arms).

NYC.gov. 14 Jan. 1997. Web. This article talks about the different lives the Joshua and Comfort Sands lead. Not only was this information provided but information about how life was when the brothers went into business together. It provided information about the prices of the lands that were sold, the change and decision to go more industrial with the space rather than industrial, and the different buildings that were built especially after the change. The audience of this source is very broad. It is provided for anyone looking for specific information on the topic of Joshua and Comfort Sands. Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinegar_Hill,_Brooklyn Source 2: "Guide to the Sands Family Papers ARC.096." Guide to the Sands Family Papers ARC.096. Web. 22 Mar. 2016. This article provided me with the basic information about the beginning times of Joshua and Comfort Sands. I found useful information about where they were born and grew up, their extended family line that was linked to the vinegar hill land and their plans about the land before the navy yard came into play. Their family lives included multiple wives and large numbers of children, what their wives also provided rather than being the expected stay at home mother like the cofounder of the St. Ann’s Church.

  • Paisley Commercial School
    RLHF Journal Vol.5 (1993) 5. Troubled Times John MaIden The period between 1520 and 1620 was one of radical change on the religious front when not only did the method of worship alter, but also the administration of the local economy moved into secular control. By 1520 the Monastery and Abbey of Paisley were under the control of Abbot Robert Shaw who was elected Bishop of Moray in 1525. Shaw was the nephew of the previous Abbot, the builder George Shaw, and saw the position of Abbot and the worship in the Church at its height of power, ceremony and colour. It is often forgotten that the churches were full of colour, as today we are used to the austere plain stonework and lack of ornament. An example of the richness of the fittings in the Abbey at this period is given by the printed, and coloured, Missal presented by one of the Monks, Robert Kerr, to the altar of the Virgin in the early 1550's. The high quality of the text, printed in Paris, and the jewel-like appearance of the illustrations gives a hint of the grandeur on public view. Now in the care of the National Library of Scotland, this Missal is the only known service book to survive from the Monastery. Shaw was succeeded, as the last religious Abbot, by John Hamilton, a young monk from Kilwinning, who was the illegitimate son of the Earl of Arran. Hamilton became one of the outstanding figures during the time of crisis which led to the dissolution of monasteries in Scotland.

  • Viele Records
    VIELE RECORDS 1613-1913 Being a Revised and Enlarged Edition of the Viele Genealogy published in 1909, under the title TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS WITH A DUTCH FAMILY Of NEW YORK COMPILED AND ARRANGED BY KATHLYNE. KNICKERBACKE.R VIE.LE. (Greduale of the Women'• Law Cllw of the University of New York; Member of the Society of Colonial Dames. of America, of the Society of Dau8hters of Holland Demas, of the Hu.quenol Society, ol lhe New York Genealoaical and Bioa,aphical Society, of the Dauahters of the American Revolution, E.tc.) NE.W YORK TOBIAS A. WRIGHT 1913 THE FAMILY OF VIELE In the preface to the Viele Genealogy published in 1909 all that could with any certainty be said regarding the origin of the Family of Viele was that the three original Viele brothers, Aernout, Cornelis and Pieter-who all bore the name of Cor­ nelisen-were by that token the sons of a Cornelis, "probably of a Cornelis who never came to this country." It therefore affords the compiler great satisfaction, in which surely every member of the family will share, to announce that this Cornelis has been found in the person of Cornelis Vol­ kertszen, who in 1639 was a well-to-do trader and tavern keeper in New Amsterdam. The baptisms of four of his children are recorded on the register of the Dutch Church in New York-Aernout, 1640, Cornelis, 1643, Jacomyntje, 1645, and Pieter, 1648. These dates very nearly correspond with the dates on which these three men twenty odd years later first took up land-thus indicating that they had arrived at man's estate-Aernout in Beverwyck in 1663, Cornelis in Schenectady in 1668, and Pieter in Schenectady in 1670.

  • Lviemoirs of JOHN KNOX
    GENEALOGICAL lVIEMOIRS OF JOHN KNOX AXIJ OF THE FAMILY OF KNOX BY THE REV. CHARLES ROGERS, LL.D. fF'.LLOW OF THE ROYAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY, FELLOW OF THE SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES OF SCOTLAXD, FELLOW OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF XORTHER-N A:NTIQ:;ARIES, COPENHAGEN; FELLOW OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF NEW SOCTH WALES, ASSOCIATE OF THE IMPRRIAL ARCIIAWLOGICAL SOCIETY OF Rl'SSIA, MEMBER OF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF QL'EBEC, MEMBER OF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA, A!'i'D CORRESPOXDING MEMBER OF THE HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY OF NEW ENGLA:ND PREF ACE. ALL who love liberty and value Protestantism venerate the character of John Knox; no British Reformer is more entitled to the designation of illustrious. By three centuries he anticipated that parochial system of education which has lately become the law of England; by nearly half that period he set forth those principles of civil and religious liberty which culminated in a system of constitutional government. To him Englishmen are indebted for the Protestant character of their "Book of Common Prayer;" Scotsmen for a Reforma­ tion so thorough as permanently to resist the encroachments of an ever aggressive sacerdotalism. Knox belonged to a House ancient and respectable; but those bearing his name derive their chiefest lustre from 1eing connected with a race of which he was a member. The family annals presented in these pages reveal not a few of the members exhibiting vast intellectual capacity and moral worth. \Vhat follows is the result of wide research and a very extensive correspondence. So many have helped that a catalogue of them ,...-ould be cumbrous.

While there is every reason to believe that James Sands was a grandson of Edwin Sandys, Archbishop of York (born in 1516; died July 10, 1588), there is not sufficient evidence to justify the claim of this descent. I have added an appendix, containing the direct paternal genealogies of the wives of my direct ancestors to Jam~ Sands. BENJAMIN AYMAR SANDS. New York, July, 1915. CONTENTS PA.GE THE SANDS FAMILY .

  • 'Borgs', Boats and the Beginnings of Islay's Medieval Parish Network?
    ‘Borgs’, Boats and the Beginnings of Islay’s Medieval Parish Network? Alan Macniven Introduction THE Viking1 expansion of c. AD 800 to 1050 is often assigned a formative role in the cultural and political trajectories of Europe and the North Atlantic. The Viking conquest of Anglo-Saxon England, for example, is well known, with its ‘Great Heathen Armies’, metric tonnes of silver ‘Danegeld’, and plethora of settlement names in -býr/-bœr, -þorp, and -þveitr.2 One aspect of this diaspora which remains relatively obscure, however, is its impact on the groups of islands and skerries off Scotland’s west coast which together comprise the Inner Hebrides. This paper will focus on one of these, the isle of Islay, at the south-west extremity of the archipelago, and about half-way between the mainlands of Scotland and Ireland (Figure 1). In so doing, it will question the surprisingly resilient assumption that the Inner Hebridean Viking Age was characterised largely by cultural stability and continuity from the preceding period rather than population displacement, cultural disjuncture or the lasting introduction of new forms of societal organisation. For Norwegian Vikings, it seems likely to have been the lure of Irish riches that kick-started the movement west. The economic opportunities provided by Ireland’s battlefields and marketplaces, in terms of silver, slaves, or simply the chance to build a reputation as a war-leader, offered a gateway to social status of a type fast disappearing in the Scandinavian homelands.3 It is reasonable to assume that most Norse warbands arriving in the Irish Sea 1 The term ‘Viking’ is an emotive one, fraught with pejorative connotations (eg.
