MAJOR THOMAS SAVAGE OF BOSTON AND HIS DE_SCENDANTS MAJOR THOMAS SAVAGE OF BOSTON AND HIS DESCENDANTS 1. TnoMAs1 SAVAGE was born, probably in England, in 1607 or 1608. Ho embarked from London in the ship Planter, Nic0 Trarice, master, in Apr. 1635, having been certified by the minister of St. Albans, Hertford­ shire. In the list of the ship's passengers he is called a tailor, and his age is given as 27, which corresponds with his age as given by him in a depo­ sition datecl 26 (9) 1664, in which he states that he is about 57 years old (Essex Couuty Files, vol. IO, p. 59). According to his descendant, Hon. James Savage, the noted m.itiquarian of Boston, he was a son of William Savage, a hlncksmith of Taunton in Somcrsetshirc, ancl was apprenticed hy his father 9 ,fan. 1620/1 to t11e Merchant Taylors Guild of London. Aside from this statement, I have found nothing to show that Thomas Savage had auy connection with William, the blacksmith of Taunton. In his will, dated 28 ,June 1675 but p1'obably written some years earlier, Thomas Savage leaves money to "my coz Leonard Savage in Barbadoes " and "to my sister." The sister's name is written in the will, but it is difficult to decipher. It is, however, apparently "Perking." These two bequests, together wit11 anot110r to his son Arthur, who was probably dead when !lie will was d:ited, are interlined in the original, 11nd do not appear in the copy of the will on 1ile in tl1e Suffolk U.egistry of Pmbate iu Boston. In the registers of the church of St. Jc,lm snb~Castro at Lewes, co. Sussex, is recorded the burial, 9 Nov. 1617, of Leonard Savage, mercer-and house­ holder. 1n the will of Henry Crabbe of St.. Gregory, London, merchant tailor, dated 25 Nov. IG20, mention is made of William, Margaret, and Anne (all under 21 yc:trs ), children of Leonard Savage, deceased, "my late master," who is doubtless the same man who was buried at Lewes in 1617. In 1784 Samuel Phillips Savage, a great-grandson of Thomas Savage, compiled a. chart of the family from information given him before her death in 17 55 by his grandmother Hannah (Gillam) Phillips, a granddaughter of Thomas Savage, :ind hy l\lrs. ,Joshua Wells (Sarah Savage), another granddaughter. l\Irs. fi1illips was born in Boston in 1662, twenty years before lier grand­ father Savage died, and doubtless derived the information directly from him. In this chart, which is now in the possession of a descendant of the compiler, it is stated that Thomas Savage was a linen draper (mercer) and had two brothers in England, one of whom was Arthur, "Denn of Car­ lisle," while the other, name unknown, live<l about fifty miles from Lon­ don, which is the distance between Londou and Lewes. Arthur Savage, I foul upou inveBtigation, w:is not de:m of Carlisle, hut a prebendary or vicc-docanus of the Cathedral of Carlisle, and in his will made in 1698 he bequeathed money to Arthur, James, and Elizabeth, the chilrlren of his nephew James Savage, a sadler of Lewes. Arthur Savage matriculated at Oxford 16 Mar. 1637 /8 at the age of 16, and in the catalogue of Oxford Uni vcrBity gr1uluatcs ho is c:illell :t son of ,John Savage, Esq., "of Wootton Hall in the County o.f Salop;'' It seems impossible to identify this estate, ancl researches t.hus far have not disclosed any will of a ,John Savage in Shropshire. 1£ Thomas S:ivage's father was named William, it is a little strange tliat he gave his father's name to none of his twelve sons. He did, 4 however, ca11 one son Arthur, a name which has since been frequently used in the family, and named another Richard, which was also the n<ime of a Savage who married at Lewes in 1673. In the ,January after his arrival Thomas Savage was admitted to the church in Boston. In the following month he was given seven acres of marsh ground at Muddy River, now Brookline, Mass., "for the keeping· of his cattle (being in·number, five)" (Boston Records), and on 25 May 1636 he was made a freeman of the town of Boston, upon whose records his name appears with frequency during the remainder of his life. In the religious controversy in which his mother-in-law, the famous Mistress Anne Hutchinson, became involved, Savage was one of her a<lherents, aml pre­ vious to her trial was disarmed and obliged to leave Boston, as he tlid ap­ parently late in 1637. With William Coddington, William Hutchinson, and others, Savage purchase,l Aqnidneck of the natives, and began the settlement of Rhode Island. Soon after liis arrival at A11uitlneck Savage recanted,· and was allowed to return to Boston, where he was again scttlrnl, probably as early as June 1638. In 1637 he became a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston, where his name stands fourth on the roll of membership, and in 1651 he succeeded Capt. Robert Keayne as captain of the Company, holding this position again in 1659, 1668, 1675, and 1680. In 1651 and Hi52 he was the recorder or townclerkofBoston,andaselectmanin 1652. On 12 Mar. 1653/4 Savage, with one other, was chosen to represent Boston in the General Comt, holding that position until 1657. He was again a representative from 1659 to l662, and in 1677 and 1678, and held the office of assistant from 1680 to his death. In 1669 he was .one of the founders and members of the Third (Old South) Church, and was a liberal contributor toward establish­ ing a free school in Boston. In 1673 he, with others, erected a barricade in Roston Harbor for protection against an expected attack upon Boston by the Dutch. This barricade eventually grew into Long Wharf, portions of which have ever since been owned by some of his descendants. In 1675, at the beginning of King Philip's War, Savage was appointed to tl1e chief command of the Massachusetts forces, Denison, the major-general, being prevented by illness from participating, and on 28 June he set out upon the campaign at the head of a force numbering about three hundred men. Upon their arrival at the Wampanoag country in the northeastern portion of Rl1ode Island they found that Philip iuul his forces had fled, anil peace being soon 1leclared, Savage and his men returned to Boston, where the army was disbandeil. Philip, however, was soon agtiiu upon the war-path, and in the spring of 1676 Savage was once more placetl at the head of the Massachusetts troops and acquitted himself with distinction during the re­ mainder of the war. According to the Book of Possessions, Savage's house and garden were on the north side of the present Bennet Street, near Scarlet's Wharf, where afterwards stood the Kiug's Head Tavern.

  • George Abbot 1562-1633 Archbishop of Canterbury
    English Book Owners in the Seventeenth Century: A Work in Progress Listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc? How does the answer vary over time? – how different are ownership patterns in the middle of the century from those of the beginning, and how different are they again at the end? Having sound answers to these questions will contribute significantly to our understanding of print culture and the history of the book more widely during this period. Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented. There is no directory or comprehensive reference source on seventeenth-century British book owners, although there are numerous studies of individual collectors. There are well-known names who are regularly cited in this context – Cotton, Dering, Pepys – and accepted wisdom as to collections which were particularly interesting or outstanding, but there is much in this area that deserves to be challenged. Private Libraries in Renaissance England and Books in Cambridge Inventories have developed a more comprehensive approach to a particular (academic) kind of owner, but they are largely focused on the sixteenth century. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues of the English Renaissance, extends coverage to 1640, based on book lists found in a variety of manuscript sources. The Cambridge History of Libraries in Britain and Ireland (2006) contains much relevant information in this field, summarising existing scholarship, and references to this have been included in individual entries below where appropriate.

(December 1997) Mary Catherine Wilheit, A. B., Wilson College Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. John L. Canup Obedience Robins emigrated to Virginia in the 1620s in search of the land and status his elder brother gained by inheritance. This thesis establishes motivations for immigration and methods by which one English emigr6 achieved success in Virginia. The 1582 will of Richard Robins established a pattern of primogeniture for successive generations of his Northamptonshire family. Muster lists, wills, parish registers and a 1591 manor survey record increasing prosperity and associated expectations. Robinses were among those "better sorts" who paid taxes, provided armour, held local office, educated their children, and protcstcd against perceived government injustice. In Virginia. Richard Robins*s great grandson parlayed his assets into land, office and status. The extent of his education and financial resources was probably limited, but good health, timing.

  • The Chancellors of the Diocese of Rochester
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 160 ) THE CHANCELLORS OE THE DIOCESE OE ROCHESTER. BY A. A. ARNOLD, E.S.A. THROUGH the kindness of a friend, a member of our Society, I was lately placed in the possession of a MS. hearing the title, " A List of Chancellors of the Diocese of Rochester," said to be written by Dr. A. C. Ducarel; but on examining the handwriting I am strongly of opinion that the list and notes were compiled and written by Dr. John Denne (Archdeacon of Rochester 1728—176*7), and were only corrected and annotated by Dr. Ducarel. The fact that such numerous references are made in the MS, to entries in the Registers at Rochester, to which the Archdeacon would have had ready access, confirms this view, and it is supported by other internal evidence, and espe- cially by a note which occurs with regard to Dr. Wm. Llewyn (Chancellor 1580—1598), in which the an- notator, whom I take to be without doubt Dr. Ducarel, directly refers to the Archdeacon as the writer of tbe memoir. In preparing the MS. for the press I have abso- lutely adhered to the original spelling of tbe names of persons and parishes, and I have only added a few notes, and some slight account of the Chancellors who have held office since Archdeacon Denne's time, so as to bring the list down to the present day. As to the first three names (which were added to the list in CHANCELLORS OE DIOCESE OE ROCHESTER.

  • Parish Churches in the Diocese of Rochester, C. 1320-C. 1520
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society PARISH CHURCHES IN THE DIOCESE OF ROCHESTER, c. 1320 - c. 1520 COLIN FLIGHT The core of this article is an alphabetical list of the parish churches belonging to the diocese of Rochester in the fifteenth century. Their distribution is shown by the accompanying map (Fig. 1). More precisely, the list as it stands describes the situation existing c. 1420; but information is also provided which will enable the reader to modify the list so that it describes the situation existing at any other chosen date between c. 1320 and c. 1520. Though many of the facts reported here may seem sufficiently well-known, the author is not aware of any previously published list which can claim to be both comprehensive in scope and accurate in detail. The information given below is all taken from primary sources, or, failing that, from secondary sources closely dependent on the primary sources. Where there is some uncertainty, this is stated. Apart from these admittedly doubtful points, the list is believed to be perfectly reliable. Readers who notice any errors or who can shed any further light on the areas of uncertainty should kindly inform the author. Before anything else, it needs to be understood that a large part of the diocese of Rochester did not come under the bishop's jurisdict- ion. More than thirty parishes, roughly one quarter of the total number, were subject to the archbishop of Canterbury. They constit- uted what was called the deanery of Shoreham.
