T. B. Scrutton, present Rector of Holy Cross Church FOREWORD URING the great emigration from England to the American colonies in the 17th century, at least thirteen men of the name of Gardener, Gardiner, or Gardner, came Dto New England and no less than seven of them settled there. All of these seven men have descendants living today, George Gardiner, who settled in Newport, R. I. in 1638, hav- ing the largest number, so claimed. A Richard Gardiner came with the Calverts to Maryland and, contrary to statements many times made in print that he left no progeny, Gardiners now living claim descent from him.* Of some of these colonial Gardiner-Gardner families, genealogies have been published, but none of these records go back of the immigrant ancestors and there is nothing in them to give a clue to possible relationship between the different families. However, it has been a popular belief that many, perhaps all of them, were of bloodkin in England; therefore, the English descent of the family treated in this volume may be of help to members of the other families in solving the mystery of their old world progenitors. During the last seventy-five years, short biographical records of many New England Gardiner-Gardner men have been published in local histories, magazines and newspapers, and also in genealogies of allied families. But no genealogy devoted exclusively to the des­ cendants of George Gardiner, of Newport, was published until 1907, when the "Gardner History and Genealogy," by C. M. and L. M. Gardner, appeared. It is confined almost exclusively to that branch of the family that migrated to western Massachusetts and New York State. D. Hodges Gardner, of Chicago, Ill., published in 1915 a record of some of the descend­ ants of Daniel Gardner (No. 25 of this present volume). Like all the other historians of the George Gardiner family heretofore appearing in print, in his zeal to white-wash the sup­ posedly unsavory story of Horod Long, he has allowed himself in his recital of that episode to be influenced more by fiction than fact. The only other genealogy of George Gardiner and his descendants to appear to date is "The Gardiners of Narragansett," by that gifted student of Rhode Island history, Mrs. Caroline E. Robinson. It is unfortunate that so many of the early records of Newport ~ve been destroyed, but enough have been saved to make, with early records of the colony at large, a fairly complete story of the life of George Gardiner after he came to America. In this genealogy the legal record of his first marriage, in London, to Sara Slaughter and the true account of his second wife, Horod Long, as spread upon the Court records of Rhode Island, are given for the first time. The information about Horod is so accessible to everyone it seems strange that it was not obtained and included in all former genealogies of this family. Very little has been written about Stephen, grand-son of George Gardiner, and most of what has appeared has been quite incorrect. For this genealogy a personal search of the Connecticut records, especially in New London and Norwich, has been made for him and *A descendant of Richard Gardiner, of Maryland, claims that his family has a record of descent from the Magna Charta Barons. 10 FOREWORD his twelve children. Nearly all the information thus secured now appears in print for the first time. It would be a colossal task to collect the records of all the descendants of Stephen Gardiner, of Gardner Lake, Conn., and it has been necessary to confine this record largely to the descendants of his sons Stephen and Peregreen, of whom almost nothing has been printed heretofore. But what is here given of his other children should make it possible for their descendants to trace their pedigree to him. Stephen Gardner, the 2d, was a prominent member of the Susquehanna Company of Connecticut which promoted the settlement of the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania, and he figures largely in the history of the Valley for many years. Nearly all of his children and two children of his brother Peregreen, settled in the Valley and from that historic place their descendants have spread into nearly all the states of the Union. It is a satis­ faction to the compilers of this history that so many of these descendants have been found and herein recorded. To name here all those who have helped in the making of this family record is impos­ sible, but to all who have responded to our appeals for personal pedigrees we are more than grateful. Special mention must be made of Colonel C. E. Lester, who secured from the government archives in Washington, D. C., records not otherwise obtainable; of William A. Wilcox, Esq., of Scranton, Pa., whose wide knowledge of the early history of north­ eastern Pennsylvania has made his advice most valuable and who has allowed unlimited search for data of the Gardner family in the manuscript historical notes of the late Steuben Jenkins, Esq., historian and genealogist, which are in his possession; of Frank N. Gardner, Esq., of Norwich, Conn., who furnished the abstract of title to the Gardner-Bulkeley Ceme­ tery farm at Gardner Lake, Conn.; to S. Judson Stark, a Gardner descendant and an accom­ plished genealogist, whose study of the Gardner family and history in England has made his help invaluable; and of the Hon. William Tudor Gardiner, former governor of Maine, and John Howland Gardiner, of Mount Vernon, N. Y. who have furnished the two copies of the Gardiner Coat-of-Arms shown in the front of this volume. To these must be added the name of Frank Morton Simpson, of Lewisburg, Pa., whose generosity in financing the publication of this genealogy makes it possible to thus put it into permanent form for the use of all the members of the Gardiner-Gardner clan. The compilers cannot guarantee the correctness of any of the statements made in this volume; but care has been taken to follow only the most reliable publications and other sources of information, and although every possible effort has been made to secure accuracy in copying and arranging, errors may have crept in.

  • DISSERTATION-Submission Reformatted
    The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 By Robert Lee Harkins A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor David Bates Fall 2013 © Robert Lee Harkins 2013 All Rights Reserved 1 Abstract The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 by Robert Lee Harkins Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair This study examines the problem of religious and political obedience in early modern England. 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. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

  • 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. Others, such as Richard Scrope, Thomas Cranmer and William Laud, were executed for treason or burned for heresy in one reign yet became revered as saints, heroes or martyrs in another. Throughout these three centuries bishops played key roles in the politics of both Church and PRO=Public Record Office; TNA=The National Archives I would like to thank Craig D’Alton, Felicity Heal, Clive Holmes, Ralph Houlbrooke, Judith Maltby, Keith Thomas and the anonymous reader for this JOURNAL for their comments on this article.

  • Missionary Monasticism in Marian England: John Feckenham and the Restoration of Westminster Abbey, 1556-59
    Missionary Monasticism in Marian England: John Feckenham and the Restoration of Westminster Abbey, 1556-59 Br Placid Hughes OSB _____________________________________________________________________ On 19 March 1555, the Venetian Ambassador reported that Sixteen Benedictine monks have also reassumed the habit and returned to the order spontaneously, although they were able to live, and had lived out of it much at ease and liberty, there being included amongst them the Dean of St. Paul’s, who has a wealthy revenue of well nigh 2,000; notwithstanding which, they have renounced all their temporal possession and conveniences, and press for readmission into one of their monasteries. The entire 16 last week appeared in their habits before the Queen, who from joy, immediately on seeing them, could not refrain from shedding tears.1 This event marks the beginning of monastic revival in post-Dissolution England, though it did not bear fruit until a monastic community was re-established at Westminster Abbey more than a year later. The new foundation differed in many ways from its predecessor, not least because of the changed religious climate in England. Most of its monks had been professed before the Dissolution and many had received a university education. They were led by Abbot John Feckenham, a charismatic and dynamic figure, chaplain to the queen, former Dean of St Paul’s, and frequent preacher in London. The Westminster monks made their renewed presence known in the capital through frequent processions, parliamentary activity, and service to the royal family. Their efforts were instrumental in the attack on Protestantism and the restoration of Catholicism in England.

  • 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.
