  • 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.

Q FTER the establishment of the Dutch in the New Netherlands the / \ region now embraced within the state of New York was held by three powers — one native and two foreign. The main colonies of the French (one of the powers referred to) were in the Canadas, but through the zeal of the Jesuit missionaries their line of possessions had been extended south and west of the St. Lawrence river, and some attempts at colonization had been made, but as yet with only partial success. In the southern and eastern portion of the province granted pom to the Duke of York were the English, who with steady yet sure ad- ual vances were pressing settlement and civilization westward and gradually nearing the French possessions. The French and English were at this time, and also for many years afterwards, conflicting powers, each study- ing for the mastery on both sides of the Atlantic; and with each suc- ceeding outbreak of war in the mother countries, so there were renewed hostilities between their American colonies.

Kosc 2019 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe thanks to a great number of people, both personal and professional, who supported the completion of this project over the past five years. I would first like to acknowledge the work of Stockbridge-Munsee tribal historians who created and maintained the tribal archives at the Arvid E. Miller Library and Museum. Nathalee Kristiansen and Yvette Malone helped me navigate their database and offered instructive conversation during my visit. Tribal Councilman Jeremy Mohawk graciously instructed me in the basics of the Mohican language and assisted in the translation of some Mohican words and phrases. I have also greatly valued my conversations with Tribal Historic Preservation Officer Bonney Hartley whose tireless work to preserve her nation’s history and sacred sites I greatly admire. Numerous curators, archivists, and librarians have assisted me along the way. Sarah Horowitz and Mary Crauderueff at Haverford College’s Quaker and Special Collections helped me locate many documents central to this dissertation’s analysis. I owe a large debt to the Gest Fellowship program at the Quaker and Special Collections for funding my research trip to Philadelphia.

The most important of his other papers in our possession is a very large volume, much of it closely written, contain- ing his correspondence, with miscellaneous matter. It is intended that the contents of this volume, also, shall be transcribed; but it has not as yet been decided whether the whole of its contents, which would fill at least two volumes of our series, shall be published, or only such a selection of its more important papers as might be gathered into one volume. 6 DIARY OF SAMUEL SEWALL.

Abstract: Butlers of the Mohawk Valley: Family Traditions and the Establishment of British Empire in Colonial New York Historians follow those tributaries of early American history and trace their converging currents as best they may in an immeasurable river of human experience. The Butlers were part of those British imperial currents that washed over mid Atlantic America for the better part of the eighteenth century. In particular their experience reinforces those studies that recognize the impact that the Anglo-Irish experience had on the British Imperial ethos in America. Understanding this ethos is as crucial to understanding early America as is the Calvinist ethos of the Massachusetts Puritan or the Republican ethos of English Wiggery. We don't merely suppose the Butlers are part of this tradition because their story begins with Walter Butler, a British soldier of the Imperial Wars in America.

  • WILLIAM GOODRICH: a LITTLE KNOWN REVOLUTIONARY WAR OFFICER from STOCKBRIDGE by Stephen Darley
    WILLIAM GOODRICH: A LITTLE KNOWN REVOLUTIONARY WAR OFFICER FROM STOCKBRIDGE By Stephen Darley William Goodrich has been an enigma until now because details on his early life were thought to be non-existent and no one had been able to identify his parents, his birthplace or date of birth. Since so little attention has paid to the life of William Goodrich even though he was a company commander on the 1775 expedition to Quebec, this author has tried to identify all of the know records regarding his life. Fortunately, subsequent research began to uncover some details about Goodrich’s life and a more complete picture has emerged.1 The information on William Goodrich presented here is taken from the author’s recently published book, Voices from a Wilderness Expedition: The Journals and Men of Benedict Arnold’s Expedition to Quebec in 1775.2 William Goodrich was born in Sheffield, Massachusetts to William and Abiah Stocking Goodrich on December 19, 1734. His father, William, is on a 1733 list of proprietors of the Third Division on the Housatonic River in the area that became known as Sheffield. All of the divisions, including the Third Division, were incorporated as the town of Sheffield in January of 1733. Some time prior to his marriage, William Jr. moved to Stockbridge. In Stockbridge, William Jr. married Sybil Woodbridge, daughter of Timothy Woodbridge, around 1768, although there is no record in Stockbridge or any other Massachusetts town of any formal marriage. They had two children both of whom were born in Stockbridge. His son William died in 1771 at the age of one and a half and is buried in Stockbridge.
