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.

  • Stapylton Final Version
    1 THE PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE OF FREEDOM FROM ARREST, 1603–1629 Keith A. T. Stapylton UCL Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Page 2 DECLARATION I, Keith Anthony Thomas Stapylton, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed Page 3 ABSTRACT This thesis considers the English parliamentary privilege of freedom from arrest (and other legal processes), 1603-1629. Although it is under-represented in the historiography, the early Stuart Commons cherished this particular privilege as much as they valued freedom of speech. Previously one of the privileges requested from the monarch at the start of a parliament, by the seventeenth century freedom from arrest was increasingly claimed as an ‘ancient’, ‘undoubted’ right that secured the attendance of members, and safeguarded their honour, dignity, property, and ‘necessary’ servants. Uncertainty over the status and operation of the privilege was a major contemporary issue, and this prompted key questions for research. First, did ill definition of the constitutional relationship between the crown and its prerogatives, and parliament and its privileges, lead to tensions, increasingly polemical attitudes, and a questioning of the royal prerogative? Where did sovereignty now lie? Second, was it important to maximise the scope of the privilege, if parliament was to carry out its business properly? Did ad hoc management of individual privilege cases nevertheless have the cumulative effect of enhancing the authority and confidence of the Commons? Third, to what extent was the exploitation or abuse of privilege an unintended consequence of the strengthening of the Commons’ authority in matters of privilege? Such matters are not treated discretely, but are embedded within chapters that follow a thematic, broadly chronological approach.

"Neutralism" in Worcestershire Abstract This article discusses the supposed "neutralism" of the county of Worcestershire in the 1640s and suggests that the reason it seemed to be neutral was because there were many different groups there that balanced each other, rather than a single, yet neutral force. This article is available in Constructing the Past: https://digitalcommons.iwu.edu/constructing/vol7/iss1/12 Constructing the Past "NEUTRALISM" IN WORCESTERSHIRE Margaret Bertram . Many local historians, such as Anthony Fletcher, Roger Howell and John Morrill, have labeled Worcestershire a "neutral" county in the conflict between Crown and Parliament·during the 1640s.

    14 FROM WHALEY AND DODD 3 OCTOBER 1735 OS and very good seat of Samuel Sandys Esqr.7 Three miles from that is Westwood,8 the seat of Sir Herbert Packington,0 a knight of high renown in the camps of Cupid. It is a very old house, built more in the Chinese taste than the English, but situated in the midst of a most delightful wood. In the park is a most noble lake of above 100 acres of water; but how dreadful is it to think that these may perhaps ere long by the turn of a die Permutare dominos et cedere in altera jura.10 In our way from Worcester to Bridgnorth we came through Hartle- bury, the palace of the bishop of Worcester,11 to whom we were in­ troduced, being very desirous of the pleasure of seeing so great and good a prelate to whose virtue and resolution we in some measure owe our present happy establishment.12 From thence we went to Bridgenorth, a large corporation town situated on the banks of the Severn; it is built on a rock, the sides of which being excavated in many places afford little snug houses . .I3 [Tro]glodytes of this . to Parliament . almost the whole town belongs to Watkyn Williams Wynn.1* Seven miles more brought us on Tuesday night to this town, which in its situation exceeds all towns I ever saw or read of.

Popular Religion, Culture and Politics in the Midlands, c. 1638-1646 Simon Charles Osborne Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Warwick Department of History February, 1993 Summary This thesis is a study of popular allegiance in five midland counties during the English Civil War, 1642- 1646. It considers the relationship between allegiance and popular religion and culture. It aims to provide a regional case study of popular reactions to the war, with particular reference to recent theories of allegiance, which have emphasised the role played by religion and culture. Although the approach is broadly chronological, religion and culture are discussed mainly in the first half of the thesis, and popular allegiance in the second. Chapter One surveys popular religion and culture in the region from c. 1603 to 1638. Chapter Two characterises popular politics on the eve of the Civil War. Chapter Three deals with popular religion and culture in the late 1630s and during the war. In particular, it considers whether or not distinct cultural regions had evolved by this time, and the nature and extent of popular puritanism and 'Anglicanism'.

  • Virginia Vetusta, During the Reign of James the First
    > ', I' Virginia Vetusta, DURING THE REIGN OF JAMES THE FIRST. CONTAINING Letters and Documents never before Printed. A SUPPLEMENT TO THE HISTORY OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY. EDWARD D. NEILL. NEC FALSA DICERE, NEC VERA RETICERE. ALBANY, N. T.: JOEL MUNSELL'S SONS, 82 STATE ST. 6 i' 7 1 915.17 PREFACE. N the belief, that there was need of such a contribution, to the documen- tary history, of the early colonial period of Virginia, this work has been prepared. It is intended to supple- ment the History of the Virginia Corn- pan ij of London, which was published several years ago, and has proved of some value to the students of American history. It is quite remarkable, that for two centuries, historical writers chiefly depended upon a book compiled by an adventurer, for a knowledge of the early English coloniza- tion in North America. The once Deputy Governor of Virginia, George Percy, in a letter, to his brother Henry the 9th Earl of Northumberland, refers to a publication, " wherein the author hath not spared to appropriate many deserts to himself, which he never performed, and stuffed his relations with so many falsities, and malicious detrac- tions." As yet no document of the period of James the First, has been discovered, which tells where the church was situated, m which John Rolfe was married to Pocahontas, and the name of the officiating clergyman. There is iv PREFACE. evidence however, that Rolfe, in 1609, left England with a white wife, and that she gave birth to a daughter at Bermudas, who soon died.
