  • Mary Ward Lecture February 11Th 2009 Cambridge Divinity
    MARY WARD LECTURE FEBRUARY 11TH 2009 CAMBRIDGE DIVINITY SCHOOL On the feast of the Annunciation, 1586 Margaret Clitherow, a butcher’s wife of York, suffered the horrific peine forte et dure of being crushed to death for harbouring a Catholic priest. This barbaric punishment was the legal sanction imposed on those who refused to testify during trial. Margaret’s silence was both a denial that she was guilty of any crime and an attempt to save her family and neighbours from having to testify. Though silent in death, Margaret’s life story resounded throughout the recusant Catholic community and beyond, told by John Mush, a priest whom she had sheltered. Mush was her spiritual director and later that of Mary Ward, whose cousin Francis Ingleby, another priest sheltered by Margaret Clitherow, died a martyr’s death on the Knavesmire in York in June of the same year. This web of connections was part of an extended network of recusant women and men whose enforced silence was broken by the irrepressible force of story and memory. This study looks at the theme of silence in the life of Mary Ward and those who sought to keep her story alive. Positively, contemplative silence operated as the ground of Mary’s remarkable vocation. Negatively, it was imposed on her and on her memory long after her death by a church that failed to understand the specific and universal value of that vocation. It stems from a more general silence imposed historically on women both in the church and in society as a whole.

  • Sandwiching in History Villa Marre 1321 Scott Street, Little Rock July 12, 2013 By: Rachel Silva
    1 Sandwiching in History Villa Marre 1321 Scott Street, Little Rock July 12, 2013 By: Rachel Silva Villa Marre, 1321 Scott St., Little Rock Villa Marre’s parquet floor Intro Hi, my name is Rachel Silva, and I work for the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program. Welcome to the “Sandwiching in History” tour of the Villa Marre! I’d like to thank RWL Investments and events coordinator AJ Hughes for allowing us to see this wonderful property today. The Angelo and Jennie Marre House, better known as the Villa Marre, was built in 1881-1882 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 because it is a rare example of the Second Empire style of architecture in Little Rock, and because of its association with notable figures in Arkansas history. Scott Street as a desirable address… Little Rock experienced a post-Civil War building boom, and the city expanded to the south and west of the oldest residential neighborhood (MacArthur Park). Scott Street has been described as “the center of elegant living in nineteenth 2 century Little Rock.” But the Marres had a difficult time fitting into Little Rock’s elite society. Although they built a showplace on one of the nicest streets in town, they were Italian, they were Catholic, and they both had a checkered past. Angelo & Jennie Marre Angelo Marre was born on September 11, 1842, in Borzonasca, Italy. He arrived in the United States when he was 12 years old, and his family settled in Memphis (1854). Angelo and his two older brothers, James and John, worked together in various Memphis saloons.

  • John W. Morris: “Have Family--Will Travel” by Descendants Nancy (Morris) Boyd and Ken Brown the Central Character of This Family History Is John W
    Published in the Winter 2010 Issue of the Douglas County (MO) Historical Journal John W. Morris: “Have Family--Will Travel” by descendants Nancy (Morris) Boyd and Ken Brown The central character of this family history is John W. Morris. He was born in 1847 to an early Taney County settler by the name of Thomas Morris. John W. Morris fathered 15 children - five by his first wife, Martha Embry, and ten by his second wife, Caroline Honeycutt. Before he finally settled down in Sequoyah County in eastern Oklahoma, John and his family left footprints in present day Douglas, Ozark, Taney and Webster Counties in southern Missouri, and Boone County in northern Arkansas. John died in 1912 in Sequoyah County, Oklahoma. John W.’s older children stayed in Douglas Coun- ty, MO. and raised their families there, while John W. and Caroline left the area with the younger children around 1900. A son, William F. “Bill” Morris, was a successful Ava merchant from around 1915 until the late 1930s. W. F. “Uncle Bill” Morris was co-author Nancy (Morris) Boyd’s great grandfather. His son, William “Earl” Morris, was her grandfather, and Charles Ray Morris was her father. John W. Morris’s daughter, Amanda Melvina “Aunt Mel” Morris, married James Lihu “Jim” Brown, a grandson of Lyhue and Betsy (Hall) Brown, some of Douglas County’s very earliest settlers. Uncle Jim and Aunt Mel raised 12 children on their farm south of Ava, and they have many descendants in the county to- day. J. L. “Jim” Brown was Ken Brown’s grandfather, and Orville “Jake” and Kiree (Hartley) Brown were Ken’s parents.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA. GRADUATE COLLEGE THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN OKLAHOMA, 1835-1941 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY SAMUEL LEE BOTKIN Norman, Oklahoma 1957 THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN OKLAHOMA, 1835-1941 APPROVED BY -r> ACKNOWLEDGMENTS When my wife, Patricia, and I recall the several years of work which have gone into my attempt to attain the degree of Doctor of Philo­ sophy, those persons who helped me overcome occasional, severe obstacles stand out in our memory. The Rev, Alvin Scollay Hock, retired Episcopal minister and former historiographer of the Diocese of Oklahoma, was probably the most helpful of all, Mr, Hock (l should include Mrs, Hock, too) not only gave me constant encouragement; he turned over to me the fruit of some twenty years of collecting of historical material for the Diocese of Oklahoma, Without Mr, Hock*s valuable collection, the producing of a history of the Missionary District of Oklahoma might have been impos­ sible. Two other persons, now long deceased, also deserve my gratitude for their foresight and labors in accumulating historical material for Oklahoma, They are the Rev. Franklin C, Smith, who served in Oklahoma from 1895 to 1901 and who compiled historical material of the earliest Episcopal activity in Indian Territory; and Miss Sarah Olden, former Stillwater resident who painstakingly reproduced hundreds of pages of material which had been published in national magazines on the Mission­ ary District of Oklahoma, 111 Performing the thankless task of requiring me to "do the job right" when I might have been tempted to be satisfied with less than my best effort was Dr, Edwin C.

  • Notes About Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas
    Notes about Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Copyright © 2000–2009 by William Lee Anderson III. All rights reserved. Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Introduction During the 1700s many Scotch-Irish and German immigrants arrived in America. They and their children settled parts of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas. Today, most of their descendants never think about their heritage. Most live in the present, are working on real-life problems, or planning their future. That attitude was shared by their ancestor immigrants 250 years ago. Nonetheless, I suspect most descendants have at least wondered what the word Scotch-Irish means. All my life, I have heard various facts, but never understood how they fit together. Some facts appeared contradictory. So, I investigated, and discovered a colorful story that far exceeded my expectations. My principal objectives were to: Understand certain comments made by grandparents and other relatives over 40 years ago. Understand the confusing adjective Scotch-Irish. Understand the confusing cultural icons of bagpipes, kilts, Celtic whistles, etc. Understand the history of Moravian, Lutheran, Mennonite, Amish, Dunkards, Presbyterian, Puritanism, Huguenot, Quaker, Methodist, Congregational, and Baptist denominations that have churches in the Carolinas. Understand why and when surnames became common. Understand ancestor Margaret Moore‘s recollections of the Siege of Londonderry in 1689. Understand motivations of Scotch-Irish and German immigrants during the 1700s and terms of their Carolina land grants. Understand relations between early Carolina immigrants and Native Americans. Understand why Scotland‘s heroine Flora Macdonald came to live in North Carolina in 1774.
