  • H. T. Weld Family History
    HENRY THOMAS WELD FAMILY HISTORY Including the Research of Guy Sinclair in Great Britain Written by William Bauman C & O Canal Association Volunteer Revised SEPTEMBER 2016 1 2 PREFACE This family history was written starting with the Last Will and Testament of Henry Thomas Weld, then the disposition of his estate, then the Last Will and Testament of his wife, Harriet Emily Weld, and what could be found about the disposition of her estate. Then census data was found and, with the help of Guy Sinclair of Great Britain, the table of family statistics was built. From there newspapers and other sources were culled to fill in the life and time of this couple. They had no children and so this branch of the family tree stops with their deaths. There is a lot of information provided as attachments which the casual reader is not expected to read. It is included for completeness; many of the references are obscure and thus, rather than tax the family devotees to reconstruct them, I have included them here. Mr. & Mrs. Weld wintered in Baltimore and had a summer residence in Mount Savage; he had coal mining interests as well as a canal boat building yard to run. Presumably he commuted to Cumberland. The inventory of Mr. Weld's estate shows they lived comfortably. The General Index to Deeds, Etc., Allegany County, Md. lists 79 deeds, starting from 1844 through 1894, under the family name Weld. Most of the deeds were in Henry’s name, a few in Harriet’s name and the balance in both their names.

    INDUSTRIALISATION AND AN EARLY MODERN TOWN: BROSELEY IN SHROPSHIRE 1600-1820 by STEPHEN CHARLES HUDSON A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Culture College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham June 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This work is the first attempt to analyse, assess and evaluate the broad process of industrialisation in Broseley, Shropshire between 1600 and c.1820. The thesis is a study of historical processes of growth, development and, ultimately the beginning of decline of a small industrial urban settlement above the Severn Gorge on the southern margins of the east Shropshire coalfield. These historical processes, socio-economic in character, are shown to interact and produce an early industrial town, possessing certain characteristics, features and traditions, unusual if not unique in a settlement of this nature. A variety of source material – primary documentary, archaeological/field and secondary – is used to examine the origins and growth of three groups of industries - mining, iron and ceramics - and the social fabric and stratification that were both the cause and consequence of their development.

' . < ~ • U~DER THE BLACK HORSE FLAG Under the Black Horse Flag Preface THIS book is written for the f amity, and also, per­ haps, for those who love the sea, for my grand­ father's firm, the William Fletcher Weld Company, outlasted most of the merchant ship-owning houses in Boston, and after the Civil War it had the largest sailing fleet in America. The Black Horse Flag, which flew above his clippers, was a familiar sight to sailors, and many of his vessels were famous for their speed and general seaworthiness. The largest and swiftest of them all was the Great Admiral. At first I planned simply to collect and bind the logs of these clippers, but, finding that the greater portion of them would be of interest only to mari­ ners, I decided merely to use extracts. I have drawn as well upon family papers, which include both Weld and Anderson documents and my father's naval journals during the Civil War. These papers and logs opened up vistas of the Orient, the Barbary Coast, the Spanish Main, and pirates of the seven seas. When clippers no longer made white the ocean, the Black Horse Flag did not disappear, but flies to-day from the masthead of the yachts owned by different members of the Weld family.

It was necessary to find all of the available published and unpublished materials which pertained to the subject, Angelina Grimke Weld. I wanted to located as much original material as possible. I discussed this matter with my adviser, Dr. Paul A. Carmack. He sug­ gested that I contact the Curator of the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. It was learned that this library had original source material con­ cerning the Grimke sisters. Special arrangements were made to survey the material. Plans were then made to make clear reproductions of the manuscripts'. A Wollensack Tape Recorder was used to record those materials which could not be photographed or * microfilmed. A Rolliflex camera, with adaptable portrait lenses was used to photograph materials that could be more accurately read after being enlarged from four to six times - the original size.

  • 270 English Ancestry of Samuel Hedge the Ancestry of Major John Fenwick and of His Two Wives, Was, for the First Time Fully Pres
    270 English Ancestry of Samuel Hedge ENGLISH ANCESTEY OF SAMUEL HEDGE SON-IN-LAW OF MAJOB JOHN FENWICK OF SALEM COLONY, NEW JEESEY By the REVEREND A. H. HORD, Registrar of the Diocese of Pennsylvania The ancestry of Major John Fenwick and of his two wives, was, for the first time fully presented, with proofs, in The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography* by Edwin Jaquett Sellers of Philadelphia. Major John Fenwick, Founder and Proprietor of Sa- lem Colony, New Jersey, left issue, by his first wife, Elizabeth Covert, three daughters. Of these daughters, Anna Fenwick married Samuel Hedge, who was Sur- veyor General, April 30, 1678; Clerk and Recorder of Fenwick's Colony, and a Member of the New Jersey Assembly, in 1682. The ancestry of Samuel Hedge was recently discovered by the writer, and the evi- dence on which his pedigree is based is as follows: A lady living in Philadelphia, who is a direct de- scendant of Samuel Hedge and his wife, Anna Fen- wick, inherited and now owns a silver spoon2 on the handle of which are engraved the coats-of-arms im- paled of two families. As to these arms nothing was known by the owner, but Mr. Sellers identified one of them as certainly the arms of the Weld family, de- scribed in Burke's "General Armory" as Azure a fess nebule between three crescents ermine. The name of the other family represented in this impalement remained a mystery until sometime later the writer, while looking over the pages of the published '' Calen- dar of Wills, Court of Husting, London,"3 found •XLIX.
