ARl\IS: Ermine three crescents gules CREST: A griffin's head proper (From collection of Mrs. Hester Dorsey Richardson, author of Side-Lights on Mai-yland History) PREFACE The Holy Bible records that Family History was begun to be written quite early by man, who did not make full family lines, except for male descent, which has ever left a perplexing an~ unanswerable question: "Who was Cain's wife?" and many other men's wives. In this age of equality in sexes in civil rights woman rightfully shares an equal consideration with man. A complete genealogy of all the people is one great need. of the pres­ ent day, which active co-operation of people and state can readily make. Old genealogical lines could be largely and usefully amended if the people would consent to honor their dead kindred by giving their names, now moulding and decaying away in old family Bibles, and other privat~ family records, for publication and preservation in book­ let form for private uses and public libraries as this book is being published by the author.

  • The Church Militant: the American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92
    The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer.

  • 1 Richard Jukes, the Poet Transcription of Sketch in the Primitive Methodist Magazine by Grapho
    Richard Jukes, The Poet Transcription of Sketch in the Primitive Methodist Magazine by Grapho “A Servant of the most high God.” We must confess to some little perplexity, with regard to where to fix our point of beginning in this proposed series of life-sketches. Our difficulty is not because of paucity; but because of the abundance of names. For Primitive Methodism is wealthy in the possession of worthy and honoured names. No chronological order will be maintained in our selection; nor shall we be limited to any district or locality in our choice, but we shall endeavour to compass the whole connexion’s length and breadth, to find our “representative men.” Still, it seems to us the most natural and consistent thing to begin at least with some whose names cluster around our childhood, and which are like precious perfume wafted from the “classic regions” of our denomination's earlier decades to regale and to inspire even now. And with these feelings we have set the name of Richard Jukes to commence with. And we have been constrained to do this for two reasons. Because he belongs to the first generation of our heroic forefathers, and because he is the first, or one of the first of our old warriors who came into my early life, and whose influences are entwined around one’s tender years. Through the vista of the long years we see him still massive and princely in form. For our old sires, at least many of them, were built physically for the almost superhuman hardships and toilings of those beginning years of our Church’s history.

  • 4 Crick and the Domesday Book
    HISTORICAL NOTES THE MANORS OF CRICK - 4 Crick and the Domesday Book - 3 As we have seen, the first Norman lord of the manor of Crick was Geoffrey de la Guérche, who held it as part of his baronial estates as a tenant-in-chief of William the Conqueror. He originated from a family of some considerable rank, for his father Silvestre was lord of la Guerche and Pouence, both being towns near Rennes on the border of Brittany and Anjou. Silvestre was Chancellor of Brittany, but after the death of his wife, he entered the Church, and in 1075 was consecrated Bishop of Rennes. Geoffrey was known in Brittany as de Pouence, but after coming to England he changed his title to de la Guerche. It is by no means certain, but quite probable that in fact he held a command in William's invading army of 1066, for a count of Brittany named Alan Fergant provided and led a third of the entire force. Since these men were Bretons, Geoffrey could well have been amongst them. His social rank alone would have hardly qualified him otherwise for the extent of his estates afterwards awarded to him by William. It is easy, and indeed customary, to regard a village at the time of the Domesday Survey - and, for that matter, in the succeeding centuries as an isolated entity having an independent place in history. The reality was very much otherwise. Every village was part of a group, large or small, which made up the estate of a tenant-in-chief, and thus Crick was but one manor amongst the considerable number held by Geoffrey de la Guerche.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

The most prosaic reader of the history must be impressed with its romantic elements, and these have been brought into special prominence by the various Centenary celebrations all over the country. For the facts embodied in this volume I have freely availed myself of what has been written, not only by those who have taken in hand to set forth in order the history of, the Church whose origin is inseparably associated with Mow Cop, but by the large number of writers who have happily been led during these Centenary years to gather up the facts respecting a given Circuit or District. Many of these local Souvenirs are of deep interest and of considerable historical value. But my first and warmest thanks are due to the Rev.
