Genealogy and Family History John Clarke Wenham GENEALOGY AND FAMILY HISTORY of the Descendants of JOHN CLARKE of WENHAM, MASSACHUSETTS and EXETER, NEW HAMPSHIRE Compiled by MARLENE A. HINKLEY Bath, Maine Copyright 1968 Marlene A. Hinkley FOREWARD The main purpose in mind in compiling this genealogy was to combine research material obtained from many sources into one book to be of assistance to others in searching their ancestry. As will be seen, there are many family lines throughout this book about which nothing could be found, due to the lack of public records in many instances. Many abbreviations have been used in this book, some of which are as follows: b. born d. died m. married (marriage unm. unmarried int. intentions div. divorced res. resided (residence) emp. employed use U.S. Census The system used in compiling the information in this book is a rela­ tively easy one to follow. Each child is listed under his or her parent, in order of birth, if known, and, if the child bad issue which is not listed on the same page, that child is given a number which is inserted in the margin to the left of his or her name. Further information concerning that child and his or her children may be obtained by following through the book the numbers to the extreme left of each page, indicating those descendants who are heads of a household. There is an index at the end of this book which consists of the names of all persons contained herein. Any particular ancestor may be easily found by checking this index. A list of all sources from which material and information have been obtained for the preparation of this book may be found at the very end just preceding the index. Much time has been spent in gathering the information together and in preparing this book, so it is hoped it will be found valuable to those who use it. It is here I should like to thank all those people who have helped in every way possible toward the preparation of this book, for without their help it could not have been completed. l.

  • Towards a Minor Theatre: the Task of the Playmaker in Our Country’S Good
    Wenshan Review of Literature and Culture．Vol 5.2．June 2012．25-48. Towards a Minor Theatre: The Task of the Playmaker in Our Country’s Good Carol L. Yang ABSTRACT Timberlake Wertenbaker’s play Our Country’s Good (1988), as an adaptation of Thomas Keneally’s novel The Playmaker (1987), traces how a group of convicts, who are isolated in an eighteenth-century Australian penal colony, work together to produce George Farquhar’s The Recruiting Officer in celebration of the birthday of King George III. Arguably, Our Country’s Good is characterized by a kind of metatheatrical minorization of the major, a subtraction of the official State representatives, such as history, power structure, society, language, and text; the play is characterized by a polemicizing the sense of other spaces, and a form of threshold traversing that is rendered possible in the context of translation/adaptation and dramatic text/performance text in the theatre. This paper aims to analyze Wertenbaker’s Our Country’s Good in terms of Gilles Deleuze’s and Félix Guattari’s theories—such as the concepts of deterritorialization, reterritorialization, lines of flight, and minor theatre—in order to explore how the dispossessed convicts traverse the threshold of “becoming other” via the historicized immigration of transportation, which opens up lines of flight and generates the unceasing mapping of a new life. I would like to suggest that Wertenbaker’s Our Country’s Good presents a subtle counterpoint between the major theatre and the minor theatre: whereas a major theatre seeks to represent and to reproduce the power structure of the dominant state apparatus, the minor theatre operates by disseminating, varying, subverting the structures of the state and major theatre.

  • Convicts, Characters, and Conventions of Acting in Timberlake Wertenbaker's Our Country's Good1
    Connotations Vol. 7.3 (1997/98) Convicts, Characters, and Conventions of Acting in Timberlake Wertenbaker's Our Country's Good1 VERNA N. FOSTER Few plays endorse the social and cultural value of theatre as explicitly as Timberlake Wertenbaker's Our Country's Good. like Thomas Keneally's novel The Play maker, on which it is based, Our Country's Good recounts an historical event, the first production of a play in Australia: The Recruiting Officer, performed by convicts in Sydney Cove in 1789. The convicts' participation in the rehearsal and performance of George Farquhar's play reforms their manners, enables them to become a community that cares about and is prepared to make sacrifices for something larger than the individual, allows them to undermine at least in small ways oppressive authority, and gives to each of the actors a sense of self worth and hope for the future. The production of the play also transforms Ralph Clark, the officer who directs it.2 From a timid, self-serving individual who originally undertakes the task to curry favor with the Governor, he becomes someone willing to make a personal sacrifice for the play and able to appreciate the convicts as individuals with their own points of view. Our Country's Good concludes with the beginning of the first scene of The Recruiting Officer performed to the music of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and the laughter and applause of the First Fleet audience, in which the actual theatre audience joins. In accordance with the author's wishes, Wertenbaker's play shows ''how theater can be a humanizing force" for victims of brutalization.3 Theatre critics in both London and New York have generally praised Our Country's Good as a celebration of "the redemptive powers of theatre.,,4 Several academic critics, however, have noted some problematic erasures and unresolved tensions underlying the optimistic progress and triumphant conclusion of Our Country's Good.

  • The Redemptive Power of Theatre and the Pursuit of Justice in Our Country’S Good
    Sino-US English Teaching, January 2019, Vol. 16, No. 1, 33-40 doi:10.17265/1539-8072/2019.01.005 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Redemptive Power of Theatre and the Pursuit of Justice in Our Country’s Good CHEN Jing-xia Central University of Finance and Economics, Beijing, China This paper aims to understand Timberlake Wertenbaker’s Our Country’s Good in the context of theatre in crisis in the 1980s Britain and attempts to find the contemporary resonance of this history play. Through exploring the adaptation and workshop of the play, discussing the transformative influence of rehearsals on the convicts in the Australian penal colony, and expounding on theatre as an important venue for rehabilitation and justice in contemporary society, the paper intends to disclose the playwright’s commitment to theatre, her reassertion of the social role of theatre in contemporary Britain and her critique of Mrs. Thatcher’s philistinism which impaired art, particularly theatre, to a great degree. Keywords: theatre in crisis, transformative influence, rehabilitation, justice, Mrs. Thatcher Introduction On 4 Dec., 1988, a conference on Theatre in Crisis was held at University of London Goldsmiths’ College in association with New Theatre Quarterly, discussing the urgent issues facing the mainstream theatre, fringe theatre, and the questions of alternative funding and subsidy. It was the theatrical world’s response to Mrs. Thatcher’s new art policies under which substantial cuts in the Arts Council’s1 funding to theatre impaired the British theatre and redefined its cultural status. The Conference Declaration emphasized the distinct and important role theatre has played in the full and free development of all cultural activity and asked for sufficient funding for the sustainability of theatre’s vigorous social role.

  • Based on the Real-Life Voyage of Discovery of Admiral Arthur Phillip, Who Became the First Governor of New South Wales and Found
    Based on the real-life voyage of discovery of Admiral Arthur Phillip, who became the first Governor of New South Wales and founder of Sydney, TERRA AUSTRALIS is a dramatic historical account tracing the First Fleet’s epic nine-month journey, from its departure from London in 1787 to the early attempts at establishing a new settlement. Written by Laurent-Frédéric Bollée, illustrated by Philippe Nicloux, both respected authors of the successful French comic books scene, and published to coincide with Admiral Phillip’s bicentenary, this is a 500-page cinematic-scale epic that moves from the festering squalour of Newgate prison to the claustrophobic confines of the ships and the natural beauty of Botany Bay. The narrative and illustrations flow with expressionistic drama, highlighting the social climate of the late 18th century, and depicting the characters and landscapes in equal detail. Bollée has maintained a life-long fascination for Australia and began working on this five-year project in 2007. His research drew on a wealth of reference books and personal accounts from the period, giving added authenticity to the project. Many of Phillip’s officers are featured, including diarist Lieutenant Ralph Clark, Lieutenant- General Watkin Tench, who published accounts of that first settlement, and Major Robert Ross, governor of Norfolk Island. True historical figures such as Bennelong, the first indigenous person to be taught English, and French explorer La Pérouse are interwoven into the drama along with stories of real-life convicts including young thief John Hudson and Caribbean-born John Caesar. The book is divided in three chapters.

  • Food in the Early Sydney Settlement
    Phillip’s Table Food in the early Sydney settlement Jacqui Newling When considering food in the early settlement of New South Wales, acknowledgement must be given to the Aboriginal peoples whose expert care and sustainable management of the land facilitated the British colonists' survival. While the land may have seemed to be an inhospitable or even hostile wilderness to outsiders, had it not been groomed, tended and nurtured by its local peoples, the colonisers would have faced a much more difficult task in establishing themselves in this place.
