M., LL. B. OF THE CITY OF NEW-YORK NEW-YORK PRINTED AT THE DE VINNE PRESS 1896 Copyright, 1895, by H)iNRY MELVILLE. TO THE DESCENDANTS OF JOHN WHITNEY WHO HONOR THEIR FOREFATHERS AS THEY HOPE TO BE HONORED IN TURN BY POSTERITY THIS BOOK IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED PREFACE AT the beginning of the work the results of which appear in the following pages, Mr. JosEPH C. WHIT­ NEY, of Boston, with great courtesy placed freely at my disposal a mass of memoranda accumulated in the course of several years of investigation by his late father HENRY AusTIN WHITNEY. They sug­ gested clearly the parentage of the emigrant, and only the discovery of the register of his baptism at Westminster and the entries in the records of the Merchant Taylors Company, connecting W estmin­ ster with Isleworth, was necessary to complete the chain of proof. Finding that he was the son of Thomas Whitney, "gentleman," of Westminster, there was at once available the manuscript Whitney pedigrees of the British Museum, in which the said Thomas is mentioned. Acknowledgment of indebtedness for kind assis­ tance is also especially due to the Reverend HENRY DEW and Miss JANE B. DEw, of Whitney; the Very Reverend Archdeacon BEVAN, of Hay Castle; Mrs. yfj Vlll Preface MARY DAWSON, daughter of the said Archdeacon, and wife of Colonel DAWSON of the British Army; the Reverend WALWYN TRUMPER, of Clifford; the Rev­ erend H. J. R. MARSTON, of Icomb; the Reverend DAVID ROYCE, of Nether Swell ; and Enw ARD NASH, Esq., clerk of the Merchant Taylors Company. HENRY MELVILLE. New York, November, 1895. WHITNEY HERALDRY THOMAS FULLER, in his famous " History of the Worthies of England," states that the arms of Sir Robert \Vhitney, of Whitney, Knight, who was sheriff of Herefordshire in the first year of Richard II. (13i7), were "Az. a cross cheeky or and Gules." How long these were borne by the family before that date is not known, but, from their nature, it is supposed that they originated during the early cru­ sades. The records of the various Herald's Visita­ tions, found in the College of Arms and among the Harleian l\Ianuscripts in the British Museum, show that they remained unchanged till the emigration of John Whitney in 1635. The same authorities describe the crest that went with the arms as " A bull's head, couped sa. armed arg. the points gu." Fairbairn's " Book of Crests of the Families of Great Britain and Ireland," revised by Arthur Charles Fox-Davies, Edinburgh, 1892, gives the motto of the Whitneys of Herefordshire as "Magnanimiter cru­ cem sustine" (gallantly uphold the cross). It also indicates that all the Whitney families in Great Brit­ ain have retained the original crest substantially un­ altered; for example: "WHITNEY, of Merton, Wexford, a bull's head couped sa., the horns arg., the points gu. ix X Whitney Heraldry WHITNEY, of Cheshire, in Gloucester, same crest. "WHITNEY, of Hertfordshire, same crest. "WHITNEY, of Shropshire, a bull's head sa. attired per fesse gu. and arg. "WHITNEY, Benjamin, Esquire, of Upper Fitzwil­ liam street, Dublin, Ireland, a bull's head couped sa. armed arg., tipped gu. gorged with a collar chequy or. and sa., and charged upon the neck below the collar with a cross crosslet arg. "FETHERSTON-WHITNEY, Edmund Whitney, Es­ quire, of Neopass, County Westmeath, Ireland- I, a bull's head couped sa., horned arg., tipped gu., gorged with a collar chequy arg. and gu. (for Whitney); 2, an antelope statant arg., attired or. (for Fetherston)." The originals of the two colored plates, showing respectively the Whitney arms and crest alone, and a shield with sixteen quarterings, were prepared by Charles H. Athill, Esquire, Richmond Herald, at the College of Arms, London. The third plate, with sixty­ four quarterings, showing the impalement to which the great-grandparents of the emigrant were entitled, is the work of Mr. Gildersome-Dickinson, of London, and should be compared with a chart, arranged by him, which appears as an appendix.

  • Withington Group Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan
    Withington Group Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan Page 1 of 31 Withington Group Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan 2011-2031 Signed off by Withington Group Parish on 20th September 2018 Foreword The Neighbourhood Development Plan for the Withington Group of Parishes will be part of the planning framework of policies that guide and direct development in the three parishes. It is a formal document that has to pass certain “tests” before it can be adopted, including compliance with national and County policies, being based on sound evidence, and approval through a referendum for the local community. As a formal document it may seem a bit daunting at first glance – but to do its job it has to fall squarely within the remit of planning law. Thus, it deals with “Development” in the planning sense – i.e. projects that need planning permission. It is important that the theme of “Sustainable Development” runs through the whole document – and one aspect of sustainability is the meaningful engagement of the public with the process. Thus, whilst consultants have been involved in the preparation – the plan is definitely “Ours” – i.e. one that the communities of the Withington Group can “own” as their own work. Once adopted the Neighbourhood Development Plan will be a formal document used to assess relevant planning applications for development in the area. Neighbourhood Development Plans were brought into existence by the Localism Act 2011 (and related regulations). The intention was to allow local communities to come together, typically through Parish Councils, to say where they think new development should go and what such development should look like.

  • Ancestry of George W. Bush Compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner
    Ancestry of George W. Bush (b. 1946) Page 1 of 150 Ancestry of George W. Bush compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner The following material on the immediate ancestry of George W. Bush was initially compiled from two sources: The ancestry of his father, President George Bush, as printed in Gary Boyd Roberts, Ancestors of American Presidents, First Authoritative Edition [Santa Clarita, Cal.: Boyer, 1995], pp. 121-130. The ancestry of his mother, Barbara Bush, based on the unpublished work of Michael E. Pollock, [email protected]. The contribution of the undersigned consists mostly in collating and renumbering the material cited above, adding considerable information from the decennial censuses and elsewhere, and HTML-izing the results. The relationships to other persons (see the NOTES section below) are intended to be illustrative rather than exhaustive, and are taken mostly from Mr. Roberts' Notable Kin and Ancestors of American Presidents books, with extensions, where appropriate, from John Young's American Reference Genealogy and from my own, generally unpublished, research. This page can be found at two places on the World Wide Web, first at http://hometown.aol.com/wreitwiesn/candidates2000/bush.html and again at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~addams/presidential/bush.html. The first site will be updated first and more frequently, while the second site will be more stable. William Addams Reitwiesner [email protected] Ancestry of George W. Bush George Walker Bush, b. New Haven, Conn., 6 July 1946, Governor of Texas from 1994 to 2000, U.S. President from 2001 1 m. Glass Memorial Chapel, First United Memorial Church, Midland, Texas, 5 Nov.
