HESE pages grew out of a preparation of the record of descent from Hezekiah Pierpont, youngest son of Rev. T James Pierpont, of New Haven; and so far as that record is concerned, the writer believes that the table of descent con­ tained in Chapter m is accma.te, and, excepting afewminor omis­ sions, complete. To have brought down to date, in a snm7ar m8:0Der, a complete record of descent from each of the other five children of Rev. James Pierpont, who maniecl and had issue, would have been a task too great for the leiscre moments of the writer; and he does not claim complet.eness for the table of descent C()J'lt,amed in Chapter II. The data there given is taken chiefly, though not entirely, from a manuscript record entitled PEDIGREE OF PmlumPoNT prepared by Edward J. Marks in x88o; from the HOOKER GENE..U.OGY by Com. Edward Hooker, U.S. N., edited by his &mghter, Margaret Hrmtigton Hooker, and printed at Roches­ ter, N. Y., in 1909; and from an old book in marmscript1 now in the possession of John Jay Pierrepont, Esq., of Brooklyn, N. Y., containing certain genealogical information of the family brought down to 1792 by Hezelciah. Beers Pierrepont. Some of the bio­ graphical sketches found in this chapter have been taken from Ur-."IVERSITIES AND THEIR 5oNS, published in Boston, Mass., in 1898, by R. Herndon Company. These authorities are deemed respectable, and the lllforma­ tion contained in Chapter II is believed by the writer to be accu­ rate; and it is published here as of probable interest to many of the family to whom it may not otherwise be available. The coITeCtion of error in any part of the book will be cordially welcomed. 63 WALL STREET, NEw YoRKy R. B~ lL January I, 1913. THl3P1ERl'(EPONTAMS., TJDt Pn:lmEPoNT Ants. CA reprint of the anm will be 1CCS. on tlllaC 9-J DESCRIPTION. Alws: Argent, semee of cinquefoils, gules. A lion rampant, sable. CREsT: A fox passant proper, on a wreath. MOTTO: Pie repone te. The above are the arms which were borne by the family of Holme Pierrepont, at the time the American branch left Eng­ land (circ. r64,o). The ancestor of the American branch-as is shown in the Record of Descent contained in Chapter II of this book-was William Pierref11:mt1 third son of Sir George of Holme Pierre­ pont. William's son, James, was the father of John and Ro~ both of whom came to America about r640; and they in tum were followed to this country by their father, James. Sir George Pierrepont, Knt., carried on the family arms­ between the shield and the crest-a Knight's helmet; but the right then to do so belonged to him alol,le. His eldest son Henry, who was lmighted after his father's death, also carried a Knight's helmet; and when his son Robert was created Earl of Kingston upon Hull in r628, he superimposed an Earl's coronet in place of the helmet. This in turn was replaced by the Ducal coronet of the Duke of Kingston, who changed the crest to a lion rampant, sable, on a wreath, between two wings erect, argent; and he added supporters-the privilege of royalty and nobility and of those few commoners whom the crown may wish thus to honor-consisting of a lion rampant, sable, on the dexter and likewise on the sicister, Iangued and armed, gules. (That is, having the tongue and the claws of different tincture from the rest of the animal-in the Duke of Kingston's case, red.) With all that, however, the American branch has nothing to do. Some of the descendants in this country have imposed an Esquire's helmet (which is a closed helmet in profile) between the shield and the crest; but the propriety of their doing so is questionable. The helmet was never registered in the College of II 12 The Right to bear Arms. Arms, and it would seem better practice for those American descendants bearing the surname Pierrepont who desire to use arms at all, to confine themselves to the arms, crest and motto first above descn'bed and to omit altogether the helmet and the mantling or lambrequin. It goes without saying that a male descendant bearing a surname other than that of the family has no right whatever to the family arms, crest or motto ; and the limited right of a female descendant, even when bearing the family name, to use any part of the family arms is often not understood, or else is wholly ignore~ by the more ambitious of our American sisters to whom the display of the device is a gratification. While in the earlier and more warlike ages arms were not allowed to women under any circumstances, it finally came to pass that married women were suffered to assume the escutcheons of their husbands, and unmarried women those of their fathers; but even then the unmarried women and the wid­ ows who asserted their pretensions to arms were required to enclose them in a "lozenge," as it is termed in heraldry ( that is, an upright diamond or similar device on the field) in order to differentiate their arms from those of the husband or father. No woman, except a sovereign, could under any circumstances inh~ bear or transmit a crest or motto, and naturally not a helmet or mantling. If an "heiress'' in heraldry (that is, a woman whose father bore arms and had died leaving no sons or whose sons had all died without issue)-if an heiress married, the escutcheon ·or shield would pass with the marriage to her husband and he would have the right to quarter them on his own arms, if he wished to, and their children wouid inherit the double coat. Beyond this, a woman's right to arms has never extended.

    10609-04 Auger 2/6/04 10:35 AM Page 47 MARTIN F. AUGER ‘A Tempest in a Teapot’: Canadian Military Planning and the St. Pierre and Miquelon Affair, 1940-1942 THE SMALL FRENCH COLONY OF ST. PIERRE AND MIQUELON, located some 32 kilometers off the south shore of Newfoundland, was a source of great concern for the Canadian government during the Second World War.1 When Nazi Germany defeated France in June 1940, the fate of the French Empire became uncertain. Canada and other Allied countries feared that French colonies might be used by the Germans to conduct military operations against them. The proximity of St. Pierre and Miquelon to Canada and the British colony of Newfoundland constituted a major threat. Negotiations immediately ensued between the American, British and Canadian governments as to the future of France’s territories in the Western Hemisphere. The main argument was whether or not the French islands needed to be occupied by Allied military forces. The issue, however, was solved in December 1941 when the Free French movement of General Charles de Gaulle sent a small naval task force to rally the archipelago to the Allied cause. Most historians who have analyzed the St. Pierre and Miquelon affair of 1940 to 1942 have focused upon the Free French takeover. Although some historians have studied Canada’s role in the affair from a diplomatic perspective, none have provided an in-depth analysis of Canadian military planning during this crisis.2 It is now clear that Canada undertook significant planning to launch an invasion. An understanding of the details of Canada’s invasion plan and the ultimate decision to postpone military action illuminates the changing structure of Canada’s relations with Great Britiain and the United States.

    Richard Elmore’s Letters to the Earl of Darnley Edited and with an introduction by Caoimhín de Bhailís Richard Elmore M.D. M.R.C.S. Attributed to Alfred Elmore, R.A. (Private collection) 1 John Bligh, 4th Earl of Darnley Attributed to Thomas Phillips, National Trust Mount Stewart, Scotland. 2 Introduction Richard John Elmore is one of the many nineteenth century political campaigners who have fallen out of view and hence consideration when we discuss the history of the period. Elmore was an activist who made valuable contributions to the debate on Catholic Emancipation and also a campaigner that sought improvements in the economic relationships that existed between Ireland and the rest of the then United Kingdom, as Ireland was a part of the Empire at the time. He was a close friend of Daniel O‘Connell and a director of the National Irish Bank; he was a defender of his Catholic business associates and, for a period, a major employer of linen workers at his factory n Clonakilty, Co. Cork. Richard as born in around 1785 and took his first appointment as a hospital assistant with the 1st Garrison Battalion in January 1807.1 According to Elmore he had moved to Clonakilty around 1807 with the intention of practicing as a physician, however he could ill afford to continue to practice as he often had to provide his services without charging a fee due to the poverty amongst the peasantry and he was ‗obliged frequently to put my hand into my own pocket; no man could possibly avoid it that possessed one spark of humanity in his 1 WO 25/75/92.

  • A Chronology of Edwards' Life and Writings
    A CHRONOLOGY OF EDWARDS’ LIFE AND WRITINGS Compiled by Kenneth P. Minkema This chronology of Edwards's life and times is based on the dating of his early writings established by Thomas A. Schafer, Wallace E. Anderson, and Wilson H. Kimnach, supplemented by volume introductions in The Works of Jonathan Edwards, by primary sources dating from Edwards' lifetime, and by secondary materials such as biographies. Attributed dates for literary productions indicate the earliest or approximate points at which Edwards probably started them. "Miscellanies" entries are listed approximately in numerical groupings by year rather than chronologically; for more exact dating and order, readers should consult relevant volumes in the Edwards Works. Entries not preceded by a month indicates that the event in question occurred sometime during the calendar year under which it listed. Lack of a pronoun in a chronology entry indicates that it regards Edwards. 1703 October 5: born at East Windsor, Connecticut 1710 January 9: Sarah Pierpont born at New Haven, Connecticut 1711 August-September: Father Timothy serves as chaplain in Queen Anne's War; returns home early due to illness 1712 March-May: Awakening at East Windsor; builds prayer booth in swamp 1714 August: Queen Anne dies; King George I crowned November 22: Rev.

  • 1 'Sweet Burning in My Heart:' the Spirituality of Jonathan Edwards Address Given at the Launch of the Jonathan Edwards
    ‘Sweet burning in my heart:’ The Spirituality of Jonathan Edwards Address given at the launch of the Jonathan Edwards Centre, Ridley College, Melbourne, 29 April 2010. Introduction: who was Jonathan Edwards? Habitually, Jonathan Edwards inspires apparently-extravagant claims. Try this for size. ‘When the Church in Australia wakes up to Jonathan Edwards it will experience true revival’. So I passionately believed in 1985 at the conclusion of a life-changing study leave at Yale, working on the Jonathan Edwards papers in the Bieneke, the university’s library with the translucent marble walls. Here Edwards’s papers are studied alongside first-century papyri and receive the same scientific scrutiny. In that year I went to the launch of the seventh volume of the Yale edition of Edwards’ works. Since then a further 19 volumes have been published. Together they surely must represent one of the great achievements of twentieth-century historical scholarship. The selection of Ridley College, Melbourne, as an overseas campus of the Jonathan Edwards Center at Yale, depending on your religious beliefs, is either auspicious or providential. The potential of this antipodean outpost to bless the Australian Church is incalculable. Rhys Bezzant, who is writing his doctoral thesis on Edwards, and is the human vehicle for this happy development, is to be warmly congratulated. Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is often called the last of the Puritans and the first of the evangelicals. But he is also first in the sense that he is preeminent among evangelicals: none has approached within light years either of his ability or his spirituality.
