SALTONSTALL PREFACE Tm pedigree of the family of Saltonstall in England and America has long been known in a general way to genealo­ gists, but its history in a connected form has never been fully presented. The deep interest which I feel in the preservation of its record, and the care I have taken to obtain information, induced me to attempt the compilation of the work herewith presented. Long-continued illness has prevented more ex­ haustive research, but I trust that what is here shown will prove satisfactory and instructive to those who value descent from so long a line of worthy ancestors. For information concerning the earlier generations of the family of Saltonstall I have taken the accounts given in the following works : " History and Antiquities of the Parish of Halifax in Yorkshire," by Rev. John Watson, 1775; Whit­ aker's Thoresby's " History of Leeds ; " Morant's " History of Essex ; ,, Lipscomb's" History of Buckinghamshire ; " Baker's " History of Northamptonshire ; " Clutterbuck's " History of Hertfordshire; " Heralds' Visitations of Yorkshire, 1612, of Hertfordshire, of Essex, and of Suffolk; Harleian and Lans­ downe MSS.; Ayscough's MSS.; Hopkinson's MSS.; Davy's MSS. of Suffolk pedigrees; and investigations made for me in 1853 by H. G. Somerby in the Prerogative Courts of York and Canterbury, and in the Parish Records of Hali­ fax, York, and many other places.

  • GURDON SALTONSTALL Governor of the Colony of Connecticut 1708-1724
    GURDON SALTONSTALL Governor of the Colony of Connecticut 1708-1724 Born: March 27, 1666, Haverhill, Massachusetts College: Graduated Harvard, 1684 Political Party: None Offices: Governor of the Colony of Connecticut, 1708-1724 Died: September 20, 1724, New London, Connecticut Named for a maternal grandmother's family, Gurdon Saltonstall was born at the family home in Haverhill, Massachusetts, the son of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Ward) Saltonstall. His family had been active in Massachusetts politics since his great-grandfather, Sir Richard Saltonstall, served in the Court of Assistants of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1630s. After Gurdon graduated from Harvard with a B.A. in 1684, he studied for the ministry. He received his M.A. from Harvard in 1687 and became the Congregational minister in New London in 1688. As such, he became the minister of Governor Fitz-John Winthrop, a role which led him to become Winthrop's secretary, agent, and close friend. He thereby gained considerable knowledge of the operation of Connecticut's government. Following Winthrop's death on 27 November 1707, the General Assembly met at a special session in December and elected Saltonstall as governor, even though he had never previously served in a political office. A committee was sent to New London to advise Saltonstall of his selection and to administer the oath of office, if he accepted the position. Since his official acceptance was not recorded until January 1, 1708, it is not clear whether he began his duties earlier than this date. Because no person could be elected to a Connecticut colonial government position at the spring elections unless his name was on the list of twenty candidates developed the previous fall, a special law was enacted that permitted a previously unlisted candidate for governor to be elected.

It exhibits the juris prudence, science, morals, and religion of nations, and while it •warns to shun their errors, holds forth their virtues for imitation in bold relief. But where is the history more interesting and important than that of our own, "our much loved native land," that abounds in incidents more romantic, or narrative more thrilling? Buta little more than two centuries have elapsed since the first band of the " Puritan Fathers" left their native home, crossed the wild Atlantic, landed on the snow-clad rock of Plymouth, and laid the first foundation stone of New England. Within this period a change has here taken place, and in our common counfry unparalleled in the history of mankind. A great and powerful nation has arisen.

JOHN COTTON'S MIDDLE WAY A THESIS presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History The University of Mississippi by GARY A. ROWLAND August 2011 Copyright Gary A. Rowland 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Historians are divided concerning the ecclesiological thought of seventeenth-century minister John Cotton. Some argue that he supported a church structure based on suppression of lay rights in favor of the clergy, strengthening of synods above the authority of congregations, and increasingly narrow church membership requirements. By contrast, others arrive at virtually opposite conclusions. This thesis evaluates Cotton's correspondence and pamphlets through the lense of moderation to trace the evolution of Cotton's thought on these ecclesiological issues during his ministry in England and Massachusetts. Moderation is discussed in terms of compromise and the abatement of severity in the context of ecclesiastical toleration, the balance between lay and clerical power, and the extent of congregational and synodal authority.

  • Pitchforks and Perambulation: Borders, Violence, and Mapping in 17Th-Century New England
    Braccio 1 Pitchforks and Perambulation: Borders, Violence, and Mapping in 17th-Century New England Disputes over boundaries and deeds dominated the records colonists produced in New England between 1630 and 1700. When these disputes were particularly contentious, they became punctuated by rare and dramatic acts: mapping, violence, and indigenous testimony. These infrequent moments in generally mundane records reveal several important points, First, mapping, violence, and English reliance on indigenous knowledge were all powerful tools that colonists only employed out of desperation. The English population in the colonies was rapidly growing and land had become scarce. When they looked at a few acres of land, they saw farms for their children, future divisions of the town, and prosperity. It was this feeling of necessity and desperation that began a serious colonial engagement with mapping. Amongst the colonists, employed mapping far less frequently than violence and it should be understood as an extraordinary act. Second, the mundane land records concealed a greater project. By establishing written legal records, maps, memories of perambulation, and tales of violence over the landscape, colonists replaced the Algonquian spatial epistemology, that they had initially relied on, with an English way of understanding the landscape. Despite colonists’ project to silence them, indigenous people continuously occupied important roles in clashes over the land. For the first twenty-years of English occupation of the New England coastline, they had been utterly reliant on indigenous spatial knowledge. Mapping and land disputes were part of a process of replacing dependence on the indigenous with English knowledge and an anglicized landscape. Nothing could be more English than squabbling over the boundary between two Englishmen, ignoring any indigenous claim.

HAMILTON, WORCESTER, MASS. INTRODUCTION. ' A popular historian has said that the study of history ' sets before us striking examples of virtue, enterprise, courage, generosity, patriotism ; and, by a natural principle of emula- tion, incites us to copy such noble examples." We, of the present generation, know but little of the trials, fatigues, hardships, fears and anxieties, which our fathers and mothers of early New England days experienced and willingly endured, that they might establish a government and found a nation, where the privileges of civil and religious liberty, and the benefits of general education, should be the blessed inheritance of their posterity for all time. Having been accustomed to the even temperature and mild winters of the British Isles, the abrupt change of location, with unavoidable exposure to the harsher climate and rigorous win- ters of New England, caused many of the delicate ones among the first settlers to waste rapidly away with consumption or other unlooked-for diseases, while even the most vigorous of the first one or two generations after immigration, being subjected to the unceasing toil and the perils incident to early settle- ments, rarely attained the age of three-score and ten.

  • William Vassall and Dissent in Early Massachusetts
    WILLIAM VASSALL AND DISSENT IN EARLY MASSACHUSETTS By Dorothy Carpenter Another Look at the Founding of Massachusetts With special emphasis on a forgotten dissenter, William Vassall Copyright © 2001, 2004, Dorothy S. Carpenter. All rights reserved. AUTHOR’S NOTE This book is designed not only to show how the tolerance of South Scituate came into being, but also to attempt to answer questions such as the one brought up by Charles M. Andrews in his first volume of The Colonial Period of American History, entitled “The Settlement, Volume I.” On page 490, he states: “The general court, not unnaturally but probably not rightly, linked together the Hobart, Vassall, and Child complaints, as parts of a common movement, and believing the peril to be more imminent than it actually was, proceeded with the utmost caution and watchfulness.” After studying for my book it became apparent to me that these protests were linked, and that Vassall, in his desire to establish religious tolerance, was the major link. The only way to come upon this theory was to begin with the dissent to the Puritan autocracy at Massachusetts Bay, and this demanded an understanding of the religious trends of the time. For that reason it was necessary to write more about the Pilgrims and the Puritans than I had first intended in the story of William Vassall and the South Scituate Church. But, I think this is necessary for the understanding of the place that church took in the controversies that were to come. – ii– CONTENTS INTRODUCTION.....................................................................................................V PILGRIMS AND PURITANS ................................................................................. 1 THE MASSACHUSETTS BAY COLONY 1630-1637................................33 WILLIAM VASSALL — NEW FRIEND OF THE OLD COLONY .....63 THE HOBART AFFAIR......................................................................................

Winthrop makes no division into chapters. In this edition the text has, for the reader's convenience, been broken by headings repre senting the years.
