  • Patronage, Performance, and Reputation in the Eighteenth-Century Church
    PATRONAGE, PERFORMANCE, AND REPUTATION IN THE EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CHURCH DANIEL REED OXFORD BROOKES UNIVERSITY Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the award of Doctor of Philosophy in History SEPTEMBER 2019 1 Lancelot Blackburne, Archbishop of York. After unknown artist. Mezzotint, sold by Thomas Bakewell. 1724 or after. Private collection of Daniel Reed. 2 For Freya 3 Abstract The perceived success of the revisionist programme in dissipating the ‘longest shadow in modern historiography’ calls into question the ongoing relevance of ‘optimistic’ versus ‘pessimistic’ interpretations of the Church of England in the long eighteenth century. And yet, the case of Lancelot Blackburne, Archbishop of York (1724-1743), has not benefitted from the ‘revisionist turn’ and represents an unparalleled problem in accounts of the Georgian episcopate. Whilst Benjamin Hoadly has been the most maligned bishop of the period for his theology, Blackburne is the most derided for his personal imperfections and supposed negligence of his episcopal duties. These references are often pernicious and euphemistic, manifesting in several quasi-apocryphal tales. The most regularly occurring being accounts of Blackburne’s lasciviousness, speculation over the paternity of his chaplain Thomas Hayter, and the Archbishop’s association with piracy. As long as these bastions of resistance to revisionism remain, negative assumptions will linger on in contemporary studies of the Church, regardless of whether they are reframed by current trends. As such, this thesis utilises under-explored archival sources to reorient Blackburne’s case to its historical context. This is achieved through an exploration of the inter-connected themes of patronage, performance, and reputation.

  • Charles University in Prague Faculty of Social Sciences The
    Charles University in Prague Faculty of Social Sciences Institute of International Studies Department of American Studies The Aspirations and Ascent of George Washington in the Context of His Times: From His Early Years to the End of the Revolutionary War Doctor of Philosophy Dissertation Author: Mgr. Stanislav Sýkora Supervisor: Prof. PhDr. Svatava Raková, CSc. Year: 2012 ABSTRACT George Washington’s relatively obscure beginnings did not preclude him from admiring and acquainting himself with chivalrous role models and genteel guidelines. Longing for recognition, Washington sought opportunities to serve his influential patrons to merit their further approbation. The dissertation sets Washington’s aspirations in the context of honor-based sociocultural milieu of his day and thus provides the reader with an insight into the conventional aspects of his ascent to the upper echelons of the colonial society of Virginia. At the time of the Revolution, Washington’s military reputation, leadership, and admirable character earned him a unanimous election to the chief command of the American armies. The complexity of Washington’s venture of accepting, exercising, and ultimately resigning the supreme military powers in relation to his reputation and sense of patriotic duty is thoroughly analyzed. Key words: George Washington, convention, ascent, ambition, patriotism, virtue iii I declare that I have worked on this dissertation independently, using the sources listed in the bibliography. …………………………………… Author’s signature iv CONTENTS Introduction 1 Chapter One: The Early Influences 11 Chapter Two: “Honour and Glory” 42 Chapter Three: The Gentleman of Mount Vernon 113 Chapter Four: “It Surely Is the Duty of Every Man Who Has Abilities to Serve His Country” 123 Chapter Five: “My Plan Is to Secure a Good Deal of Land” 168 Chapter Six: “Certain I Am No Person in Virginia Takes More Pains to Make Their Tobo Fine than I Do” 184 Chapter Seven: “George Washington, Esq.

  • Bailey's of Berkeley County
    BAILEY'S OF BERKELEY COUNTY Bailey Family History August 1,2006 Forrest Dean Bailey Davis, California pa„e 2 Bailey's of Berkeley County Berkeley County was one of the first settled areas of the State of West Virginia. Many Quakers and Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, along with English and Dutch, became residents in the early 1700's. They were followed by Germans who built many of the still existing farm complexes. The County has a wealth of historic, architecturally important buildings dating from the 1740's into the 20th century. Many of these buildings, including several districts and villages, have been researched and placed on the National Register of Historic Places, Berkeley County was formed from Frederick County, Virginia, in 1772 and named for Lord Norbome Berkeley. The County seat was established in the colonial village of Martinsburg, named for Thomas Bryan Martin, Lord Fairfax's nephew, and was incorporated in 1778. The arrival of the B&O Rail­ road in the 1840's provided Martinsburg and Berkeley County a substantial im­ provement in transportation and acted as an economic generator for the area. During the Civil War (or War Between the States), Martinsburg and Berkeley County, still a part of Virginia, experienced conflict and much destruction. Many families had divided allegiances. In June 1861 Stonewall Jackson destroyed the railroad cars at the Martinsburg B&O Railroad complex and commandeered the engines, dragging them through Winchester to Strasburg. The roundhouse and machine shops were completely stripped. The first major conflict in the area occurred on July 2, 1861, when the North's General Robert Patterson crossed the Potomac River at Williamsport and defeat­ ed the South's General Joseph E.

  • 1 the Life and Death of John Counts of Page and Russell Counties
    The life and death of John Counts of Page and Russell Counties, Virginia By Sharon Lemkuil, November 2018 This account is based on the few facts that have been gathered in the last 290 years regarding the man now commonly known as “John Counts of Glade Hollow”. This name with the descriptor was given to him by his descendant Elihu Jasper Sutherland who researched and wrote a biographical sketch of “John Counts of Glade Hollow” which is contained in the book, “Some Descendants of John Counts of Glade Hollow”, Appendix A. Sutherland used this name because it is the first version of the name he found in the 09 Feb 1764 civil suit of John Counts against John Stacey, as well as the name used in the Last Will and Testament of John Counts who signed by mark on 03 Apr 1802 in Russell County, Virginia, a county formed on 02 Jan 1786 from Washington County, Virginia. The Will was presented to Court and proved by the oath of John Hargis on 27 Apr 1803, and further proved on 26 Jul 1803 by the oath of Duritee Counts. Sutherland used “of Glade Hollow” to distinguish the father from his son John Counts “of Cleveland”, the locations in which they resided in Russell County, Virginia. Sutherland’s sketch remains as an excellent source of factual information on our ancestor.
