PORTRAITS. of I hoped to find for this work a portrait of each of the fifteen children Mr. and Mrs. Cole, and of each of the husbands and wives brought into the family by marriage with these children. Unfortunately, however, seven of the children, like the parents, had passed away without leaving these precious memorials. Yet eight portraits of the children have been found, viz., those of Bridget, Anna, David, Isaac, Margaret, Philip, Catharine, and Sarah, and four of the husbands, viz., those of Daniel H. Blauvelt, Jonathan Palmer, Benjamin Wood, and Henry G. Bogert. These have been cheerfully contri- buted for the work, and they serve greatly to enrich it. To them have also been added, at my solicitation, several portraits of the living, from various branches of the family. I had hoped to increase the number of these, but have not been able to do so, owing in part to the cost of the portraits, and in part to the reluctance which some manifest to personal appearance in the book. I take pleasure in saying, that the portraits, after having been first brought out by the usual step of photographing, were prepared and printed for this book by what is called the Albert-type process, invented by Joseph Albert of Munich in 1868, and introduced into this country in 1870, by Mr. Edward Bierstadt, of 58 and 60 Reade Street, New York. : INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT TO THE FAMILY. far I have often been asked why I undertook this work. When it was in it. advanced I found that some had been suspecting me of selfish motives There are traditions in the family that an estate in Holland, long ago grown to immense proportions, is waiting for us. Perhaps it is not surprising that, in our time, when so many interested persons are seeking to lash the de- scendants of early settlers to fever-heat on the subject of supposed estates awaiting claimants in the fatherland, one studying his family lines should be suspected of having an eye to pecuniary results. I have only to say that, small- often as I have heard of the traditions spoken of, I have never felt the est interest in or concern about them. My only motive to what has been an exceedingly laborious, but ever a growingly delightful work (the fruits of Avhich I have now the very great pleasure of submitting to all the living whose names are herein registered), has been pure love of my family, be- give cause I am theirs and they are mine. The following statement will interesting information to all who are concerned Isaac Kool and Catharine Serven had fifteen children. The mother her memory is a lived till I was nearly ten years old. I knew her well, and a spell upon me yet. Three of her children died before I was born, and fourth when I was about three years old. The other eleven I have person- ally seen. One of them died when I was thirteen, and all the rest lived till of a little I was more than twenty-five years of age. In August, 1852, as one pur- party of relatives, I travelled through the State of New York for the pose, in part, of visiting five of them, at that time still living at advanced included age in the counties of Fulton, Steuben (that part of it which is now the first in Schuyler) and Genesee. It was in that year, when standing for in Broadalbin, time at the side of my great-grandfather Isaac Cole's grave family Fulton Co., that I originally conceived the thought of compiling this for record. The difficulties of the undertaking, however, proved so great as living a long time to baffle my effort. The aged members of the family then had not taken pains to preserve far back lines. The present living family is scattered through most of the Northern and some of the Southern States of our Union, and even Canada besides (See list of post-offices at the close of almost equally the book). It seemed almost impossible to trace the past, and 6 Introductory Statement. impossible to get at the present. Yet as years rolled on, and I kept my pur- pose ever in view, facts accumulated upon my note-book, and clews presented themselves which more and more encouraged me to go on. My own personal memories and knowledge of large numbers, both of the dead and of the living, were very extensive. When I had been for twenty years gathering data as I best could, in 1872 I took up the work with the energy of strong hope, and from that time (as leisure would allow amid laborious professional responsibilities v^^hich have never been slighted) I have given a lai'ge amount of toil to it, studying the Holland language, reading documents (private and public, written and printed) bearing upon the history of New Amsterdam, examining records of Avills and deeds, searching church and family records, and carrying on letter correspondence in ever}^ direction. For the American ancestry of Isaac Cole and Catharine Serven I am indebted to various volumes (prepared and published under both public and private auspices) relating to New Amsterdam, now New York City, and also to the baptism, marriage, and member records of the now ancient Reformed Churches of New York (Collegiate), Kingston, Hackensack, Tappan, and Schraalenburg. The records of Tappan (both of the regular congregation from 1694 to 18 16, and of an irregular congregation in existence from 1767 to 1778 only) I have with my own hand, at great labor, transcribed into readable English? and indexed. Those of Kingston and Hackensack I have personally ex- amined with the most careful scrutiny. For what I have from the records of Schraalenburg I am indebted in part to James W. Quackenbush, Esq., of pastor Hackensack, N. J., and in part to the Rev. G. A. Haring, present of the church. The records of the New York Collegiate Church had been printed in the successive volumes of Valentine's " Manual of the Common Council of New York" —those of marriages in the volume for 1862, and those of baptisms in the volumes for 1863 and 1864. They are now undergoing publication in a much fuller and better form in the " New York Genealogical and Biographical Record." All these resources I had for pursuing the ances- try of Isaac Cole and Catharine Serven, and for bringing the line down to include themselves. In following the family down from this pair, through their fifteen children (thirteen only of them left descendants), I further trans- cribed and indexed the church records of Clarkstown from 1749 to 1795, and thoroughly searched those of Kakiat (now "West New Hempstead"), Franklin Street, New York City (known as the Nordi West Reformed Church), and Broadalbin (now Presbyterian). I was able also in many cases to find Family Bibles with Family Registers. Some of these even contained a few dates of previous generations.

    8TH GRADE LESSONS/ACTIVITIES: PIRACY Piracy (Reading level 8.9) Essential Standard 8.G.1 - Understand the geographic factors that influenced North Carolina and the United States. Essential Standard 8.E.1 Understand the economic activities of North Carolina and the United States. Essential Standard 8.H.2 – Understand the ways in which conflict, compromise and negotiation have shaped North Carolina and the United States. Essential Standard 8.H. 3 – Understand the factors that contribute to change and continuity in North Carolina and the United States. Piracy and the Outer Banks Piracy occurred off the North Carolina Outer Banks since the late 1500s. In 1585, English explorers came to the area under orders from the queen to set up a military colony to rob Spanish ships. This was a period when England wanted to gain strength over Spain. During the last decade of the 1600s North Carolina began to attract the attention of freelance pirates. The Outer Banks was a perfect getaway for outlaws. Despite being off the beaten track, the waters offshore the Outer Banks grew into a well-used trade route due to the nearness of the Gulf Stream. Its speed allowed sailors to gain time on their voyage. It brought in traffic perfect for pirates to rob. Shallow waters filled with hard-to-see sandbars also worked to a pirate’s advantage. Using boats that could sail through shallow waters, pirates could move through inland water ways to the sea, rob ships, and then move back to their island hideout. Larger vessels couldn’t follow them without getting stuck on the sandbars.

M V S - Marblehead Vital Statistics G C. - Capt. George Cloutman's Letter Book G B - Glover Broughton INTRODUCTION The information contained in this volume has been obtained by careful and persistent research from widely distributed sources viz: the Marblehead and Salem and Beverly Custom House Records, original books of the Marble- head Marine Insurance Company, covering five thousand policies running from 1800 to 1840, list of Marblehead Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolutionary War (compiled in 1912-13 by the author), old log books, old letter books, old newspapers, list of Privateersmen of 1812 made up by Capt. Glover Broughton in a memorial to the 34th, 35th and 36th Congresses asking for grants of land for services rendered, and from the descendants of the men mentioned. This volume is intended to be a fairly accurate list of the Old Sea Captains of Marblehead, and the vessels in which they sailed, going to and from foreign ports. The list of the names of the men is very nearly complete, but the list of the vessels is not as satisfactory, it being at this late date practically impossible to obtain complete information.

  • Edward Teach, Commonly Called Blackboard, Was the Best-Known Pirate Captain of the Atlantic World During the Early 18Th Century
    Edward Teach, commonly called Blackboard, was the best-known pirate captain of the Atlantic world during the early 18th century. Pursued by the Royal Navy, Teach was finally caught and executed in 1718. REFLECTIONS For centuries, as merchant ships plied the high seas, pirates lurked somewhere nearby to prey upon them. Usually murderous and cruel, such maritime brigands have seldom been completely lawless. In- deed, throughout history, and regardless of national origin, most free- hooters have avoided anarchy; in some cases, they fashioned their own ethical codes as well as special notions of authority. Between 1716 and 1726, the brief heyday of Anglo-American piracy, thou- sands of men sailed under the Jolly Roger. Drawing upon 18th-cen- tury British archives, including the court records of sailors captured and tried for piracy, historian Marcus Rediker describes the unusual society of these "desperate Rogues" who not only dreamed of wealth and revenge but also claimed a certain fraternity and justice. Writing to the Board of Trade in 1724, Governor Alexander Spotswood of Virginia lamented his lack of "some safe opportunity to get home" to London. He insisted that he would travel only in a well-armed man-of-war. "Your Lordships will easily conceive my Meaning when you reflect on the Vigorous part I've acted to suppress Pirates: and if those barbarous Wretches can be moved to cut off the Nose & Ears of a Master for but correcting his own Sailors, what inhuman treatment must I expect, should I fall within their power, who have been markt as the principle object of their vengeance, for cutting off their arch Pirate Thatch [Edward Teach, also known as Blackboard], with all his grand Designs, & making so many of their Fraternity to swing in the open air of Virginia." Spotswood knew these pirates well.

Yet the banker with an avocation Wfor antiquarian pastimes who compiled the Annals, John Fanning Watson, is little known.* Writers dismiss him as either an "indefatigable and irascible chronicler of early Philadelphia," or a "good but not entirely trustworthy old chronicler."1 Such judgment is unfair. Contemporaries knew Watson best for his valuable addi- tions to local history. In focusing on personalities and amusing anecdotes, as they related to the grand theme of progress, he pre- served many of the most striking adventures of the early settlers of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. To collect what he called "the dust of perished matter," Watson pioneered in such scholarly techniques as the oral history interview and the public opinion questionnaire. His concern for the historic artifact presaged that of the twentieth-century historic preservation movement.

    A GENERAL HISTORY OF THE PYRATES: FROM THEIR FIRST RISE AND SETTLEMENT IN THE ISLAND OF PROVIDENCE, TO THE PRESENT TIME By Daniel Defoe CHAP. I. OF Captain AVERY, And his CREW. NONE of these bold Adventurers were ever so much talked of, for a while, as Avery; he made as great a Noise in the World as Meriveis does now, and was looked upon to be a Person of as great Consequence; he was represented in Europe, as one that had raised himself to the Dignity of a King, and was likely to be the Founder of a new Monarchy; having, as it was said, taken immense Riches, and married the Great Mogul’s Daughter, who was taken in an IndianShip, which fell into his Hands; and that he had by her many Children, living in great Royalty and State; that he had built Forts, erected Magazines, and was Master of a stout Squadron of Ships, mann’d with able and desperate Fellows of all Nations; that he gave Commissions out in his own Name to the Captains of his Ships, and to the Commanders of his Forts, and was acknowledged by them as their Prince. A Play was writ upon him, called, the Successful Pyrate; and, these Accounts obtained such Belief, that several Schemes were offered to the Council for fitting out a Squadron to take him; while others were for offering him and his Companions an Act of Grace, and inviting them to England, with all their Treasure, least his growing Greatness might hinder the Trade of Europe to the East-Indies.

Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Maria Loh, along with Dr. Peter Cherry, Dr. Rose Marie San Juan and Dr. Briony Fer for teaching me how to look and for setting me on the path towards some of art history’s least regarded but most fascinating corners. I would also like to thank Barbara Pycinska-Taylor, Tom Snow, Christopher Kissane, Eoin Rafferty, Thalia Allington-Wood, Caroline Cullen and Afonso Ramos for many stimulating discussions and for sharing with me the highs and lows of being a PhD student. I also owe a debt of gratitude to my parents for their unstinting support. Finally I would like to thank University College London for awarding me a Graduate Research Scholarship and so making my research possible. 2 ABSTRACT This project is concerned with martyrdom and its representation in the unique cultural climate of post-Tridentine Rome. The devotional virtues of violent martyrological imagery came to be extolled by many of the most important thinkers in the Roman church in the wake of the Tridentine Council, and depictions of martyred saints proliferated all over the city during the closing decades of the 16th century.
