FOREWORD This history and genealogy of the Lloyd Family is an extended record of the data which Rev. William Artemus Lloyd began collecting during his lifetime. It is my purpose to include here all of the in­ formation that I have been able to obtain about the family and to publish it in the hope that members of the unknown branches of the family may see it and will send information about their families to complete these records. My appreciation is extended to Prof. H. A. White of Lincoln, Neb. for the record of the White Family which is included here, and to S. G. Wood for records found in his book "Taverns and Turnpikes of Blandford" which has so much information about Blandford families. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • . • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • iii History of the Lloyd Family •••••••••••••• _. • • • • • • • • • 1 Genealogy of the Lloyds............................ 8 Tlle Hull Family. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 50 Toe Webster Family................ • • • • • • • • • • • • • . • • • 55 Tlle Haskell Family. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 60 Ancestry of Sarah White •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 65 Marshall Lloyd's Family •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 68 James Jarvis Lloyd's Family •••••••••••••••••••••••• 69 Col.

The "Lloyd Family" of Blandford, Mass. origi­ nated from five brothers and sisters who settled there after 1751. In 1751 Samuel and James filed a deed in Hartford, Conn. for the purchase of land in Blandford. This deed bears the signatures of William, Robert, John and Sarah Laughead. Their name shows a variation of spellings in the records of Blandford. Loughead-Law­ head-Longhead-Lowhead~Loyde-Loyd-Lohed. The name Laughead is of Irish origin meaning Lake Head, and is still found in Belfast and Ulster. These young people gave Hartford as their place of residence but no evidence can be found in or around Hartford which would show they had residence or occupa­ tion there. They all settled in or near Blandford and married into the Scotch-Irish families who had come from Northern Ireland. These Scotch-Irish families arrived in Boston between 1718 and 1725 from the north of Ireland, mainly Ulster. The Scots who left Scotland after the rebellion of 1641 had sought livelihood in Ulster, had intermar­ ried with the Irish and established their Presbyterian communities there. During the Revolution in England the religious and economic oppression became so severe for the group in Ireland that the ministers led their par­ ishioners in a great emigration to America. These groups entered Boston but moved north and south, due to the shortage of food available. The immigrants moved south as far as Worcester where they attempted to settle but because of their Pre~byterian faith they were not wanted and altho some families remained in Hopkinton and Milton, most of the group moved on west. They travelled south into Connecti­ cut, where a few families remained, then on to Hartford and north along the Connecticut River. Groups of fami­ lies remained together and established towns such as Blandford and Palmer, Mass. Blandford was originally called "Glascow. 11 It 2 LLOYDS OF BLANDFORD, MASS. covered six square miles. This area was divided be­ tween the forty-five Scotch-Irish families who came up from Hartford and settled there in 1737. There is no mention of a family of Lougheads in Worcester or Boston but we find a notation that among the Scotch-Irish immigrants who arrived in 1718 in Boston, was one John Laughead who stopped in Milton, Mass. which is south of Boston. He married Mary Robin­ son in April 1732. The date of marriage appears as April 4 in one record but the Milton Vital Statistics give April 18, 1732. Mary Robinson's birth is recorded in Doc. 59 of the city of Dorchestere Mary Robinson born March 26, 1710 daughter of Samuel and Mary. Dor­ chester included Milton, Mass. Their intentions to marry were filed January 24, 1731 as shown in the Boston City Doc. No. 59. In the Milton Church Records is found:Alexander, son of John and Mary Laughead was baptized April 4, 1740 by Rev. John Taylor. The Milton, Mass. Vital Statistics record three children born to John Laughead and Mary William son of John and Mary-----Ju.ly 30-1732 John son of John and Mary-------Sept.29-1734 Mary daughter of John and Mary--Feb. 24-1748 There are no records of the death of anyone by the name of Laughead in the church or tovm records of Milton, Mass. There are no names of Laughead on the Cemetery Tablets in Milton between 1672-1882, according to published records. The Town Records of Milton show John Laughead was listed among the taxpayers at the West End of town in 1750. The next list of taxpayers does not show his name, and there are no further records of the family in Milton,but the next year the deed to the property in Blandford, Mass. was filed in Hartford, Conn. These records suggest that John Laughead was one of the Scotch-Irish immigrants who came about 1718. He evidently held property in Milton for a few years and then moved on west to the Scotch-Irish settlements. It is assumed that these immigrants were well-to-do for the majority had purchased their passage on the boats HISTORY OF THE LLOYD FAMILY 3 instead of "working for passage" as was a common prac­ tice. It is also noted that the town councils could not very well refuse food to these immigrants since they had the funds to pay for their necessities. In tracing the movement of this family we lose track of Alexander who was born in Milt~n April 4, 1740. Early Blandford records show Sarah Laughead mar­ ried David Fleming of Palmer, Mass. David's father, Joseph, came from North Ireland in 1718 and bought his home lot of 100 acres in Palmer in 1733. The settlers of Palmer were descendants of a colony of Protestants which migrated from Argyleshire in Scotland to Ireland in 1612. William Laughead married Isabel Black in 1759. Her father Robert Black, and his brother Hugh bought one of the original lots in Blandford. Hugh Black bought Lot 1 on March 30, 1737 and held it for 25 years in the original 500 acres. The house built by William Laughead in,1780 is still standing. It was later owned by his son James and occupied by Artemus, son of James, until he built a home near by for his family. Robert Laughead, brother of William and Sarah, married Deborah Moor September 26, 1762. He bought 120 acres of Lot 28 ·in 1759. Deborah's father later deeded to her an adjoining 100 acres of Lot 28. John Laughead, brother of William, Robert and Sarah built a house and tavern northwest of Robert about two miles. He married Mary Butler. Samuel Laughead married Mary Caldwell, who is thought to have been the widow of the Presbyterian Minister. James Laughead first married Sarah Hubbard and later married Huldah Kibbe. James and Samuel bought 120 acres in Blandford fort 750 (pounds). The brothers all changed their name to Lloyd. James Lloyd was considered very wealthy. He was an original land owner and at one time was known to have had 100 cattle and 20 horses. The brothers all built substantial residences and left records as influential citizens in Blandford. The Lloyds had a tendency toward keeping open house and their names appear as Inn Holders of several Taverns. The Town Records show the following Lloyds were 4 LLOYDS OF BLANDFORD, MASS. licensed to own and operate Inns. John Lloyd licensed 1808-1811 Isaac Lloyd licensed 1818 Sergius W. Lloyd licensed 1823 Isaac was proprieto! of "Scott's Tavern" for a time. The first Tavern, known as "Pixley' s Tavern," stood on the road between Westfield and Sheffield on the farm lot later owned by Almon J. Lloyd. The Tavern was built before the township was organized and a fort or block-house was erected near by the Tavern. "Glascow" was settled first in 1735 and surveyed in 1742 when the name was changed to Blandford. Robert Lloyd built his home on the southern boundary of Blandford, east of Beech Hill, near the Meeting House. The door plate bore his initials cut in imposing fashion, probably done by his son John, the blacksmith. In this house in 1798 were housed the Bishop and Rev. Lee during the annual Methodist Con­ ference. Rather than have the Presbyterian Deacon, Robert Lloyd, know that these guests were paying their own way one of the Methodist members took the silver money over to the Scotch Presbyterian.

  • A Russian Way of War? Westernization of Russian Military Thought, 1757-1800
    A Russian Way of War? Westernization of Russian Military Thought, 1757-1800 by Eugene Miakinkov A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2009 ©Eugene Miakinkov 2009 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract The present study constitutes one of the first attempts to establish the extent to which Russian military thought became westernized by the end of the eighteenth century. The task is an important one in light of Soviet and Russian scholarship that maintains that Russia developed a unique, different, and, some argue, superior way of war to the West. This work argues that Russian military thought was greatly influenced by the ‘military enlightenment’ of Europe, and that the ideas proposed by Russia’s foremost military theoreticians were not as novel as previously claimed. Therefore, the final intellectual product was more a continuation of, rather than a break with, Western practices and traditions of warfare. In this respect, the underlying theme of this thesis clashes with traditional Russian national military historical scholarship. The second major theme of this study is to challenge the pervasive but flawed and often simplified interpretation of the Russian army and its soldiers as undisciplined and uneducated barbarians. Contrary to these misleading views, the writings of Russian theorists bring to light the concerns about discipline and education for the officers, personal hygiene and hospital care for the soldiers and Russian awareness of complex strategic theoretical issues.

  • “[America] May Be Conquered with More Ease Than Governed”: the Evolution of British Occupation Policy During the American Revolution
    “[AMERICA] MAY BE CONQUERED WITH MORE EASE THAN GOVERNED”: THE EVOLUTION OF BRITISH OCCUPATION POLICY DURING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION John D. Roche A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Wayne E. Lee Kathleen DuVal Joseph T. Glatthaar Richard H. Kohn Jay M. Smith ©2015 John D. Roche ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT John D. Roche: “[America] may be conquered with more Ease than governed”: The Evolution of British Occupation Policy during the American Revolution (Under the Direction of Wayne E. Lee) The Military Enlightenment had a profound influence upon the British army’s strategic culture regarding military occupation policy. The pan-European military treatises most popular with British officers during the eighteenth century encouraged them to use a carrot-and-stick approach when governing conquered or rebellious populations. To implement this policy European armies created the position of commandant. The treatises also transmitted a spectrum of violence to the British officers for understanding civil discord. The spectrum ran from simple riot, to insurrection, followed by rebellion, and culminated in civil war. Out of legal concerns and their own notions of honor, British officers refused to employ military force on their own initiative against British subjects until the mob crossed the threshold into open rebellion. However, once the people rebelled the British army sought decisive battle, unhindered by legal interference, to rapidly crush the rebellion. The British army’s bifurcated strategic culture for suppressing civil violence, coupled with its practical experiences from the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715 to the Regulator Movement in 1771, inculcated an overwhelming preference for martial law during military campaigns.

    Pensées mili-terre Centre de doctrine et d’enseignement du commandement Henry Humphrey Evans LLOYD, un tacticien philosophe 1cahier de la pensée mili-Terre le Capitaine Antoine ROUSSEL publié le 17/07/2018 Histoire & stratégie Écrivain militaire réputé de la fin du XVIIIème siècle, la vie et l’œuvre d’Henry Lloyd demeurent largement méconnues. Jusqu’aux travaux de Franco Venturi[1] sur la correspondance entre Lloyd et Pietro Verri, seules les notices de son fils Hannibal Lloyd[2] et de son ami John Drummond[3] fournissent quelques indications biographiques. Celles-ci furent reprises par Henry Manners Chichester[4] dans l’Oxford Dictionary of National Biography et dans un ouvrage à tonalité humoristique de Francis J. Hudleston[5]. Premier penseur britannique à exercer une influence déterminante sur la pensée stratégique avant le XXème siècle, l’étude de ses théories a longtemps été négligée chez ses compatriotes, hormis l’article que lui consacre Liddell-Hart[6]. À l’inverse, les écrivains militaires allemands et russes ont discerné plus tôt son influence déterminante; citons notamment les contributions du major Wilhelm Rüstow[7], du lieutenant-général Genrikh Antonovich Leer[8] et de Rudolph Vierhaus[9]. Les études menées en France et aux États-Unis s’efforcent d’évaluer son impact sur la formation intellectuelle de certains chefs militaires comme Napoléon, Washington et Patton; citons ici les travaux du Général de brigade Jean Colin[10], du Colonel Olivier L. Spaulding[11] et du Lieutenant-colonel Steve E. Dietrich[12]. Plus récemment, outre l’excellente synthèse d’Azar Gat[13], Patrick J. Speelman présente la biographie la plus aboutie du théoricien[14], et son édition commentée de ses œuvres complètes[15] offre la première approche globale d’une pensée originale embrassant les institutions politiques, l’économie, et l’art militaire.
