Address all communications to Family Quarterlies. In this issue, I will attempt to introduce myself and tell you a few things about my interests. I hope that each of you will send a similar resume so that we might all get acqua i nted. I am 41 years old, have a fabul.ous husband and we have two great kids; Mike is 22 and Shannon, our daughter, is 12. Jerry has an insurance agency and specializes in insuring trucks. He spends spare time working out all his frustrations on the golf course. Unfortunately, this has been the coldest and wettest winter we've experienced since moving to the Houston area from Dallas eleven years ago. So, he's certainly anticipating spring. Mike is still living at home while working on his Master's degree in Civil Engineering at Rice University. His interests are varied, but mostly concentrated on learning and teaching the Bible. Shannon is a lover of the out-of-doors and spends most of her leisure time there. Her goals in life alternate between being a nurse or a vetenar- i an! My interest in genealogy began quite by accident. I had worked as a secretary for Texas Instruments both in Dallas and Houston for a total of about eleven years. When we moved to the "country", I retired and spent the first two years catching up on everything that I had neglected or postponed. A chance visit to the Tomball library involved me with a newly formed group who were studying research techniques, and shortly evolved into the Chaparral Genealogical Society. I served as 2nd vice- president in charge of projects, and we spent the first year or so surveying all the cemeteries in southwest Montgomery and northwest Harris counties. Then, as a result of many meetings and discussions, THE ROADRUNNER was born. I edited this quarterly for two years, and loved every minute of it. I'll have to admit it was quite frus­ trating at times, but as each came off the press, I would experience a great deal of pride and pleasure. This year (1976-1977) I am president of The CGS, and our pri­ mary goal is to publish the earlier mentioned cemetery surveys, and to place as many genealogical books as we can afford in our library in Tomball. For about 14 months, I have been working on a complete name index to Hathaway's NORTH CAROLINA GENEALOGICAL AND HISTORICAL REGISTER (published 1900). In the 40s Worth S. Ray attempted such an index, but anyone who has tried to use it can cer­ tainly realize how inadequate it is. All the names are now transcribed, and I am now in the process of alphabeting them for typing. It is a gigantic undertaking, but I feel confident that it will be a very useful tool for anyone doing North Carol ina research. Jeanne Robey Felldin and I formed a publishing company, GENEALOGICAL PUBLICATIONS, a year ago and you have probably seen our ad in THE GENEALOGICAL HELPER, listing all our currently available material. If not, drop me a line and I will send you a brochure. So you see, I stay rather busy but feel that I couldn't have chosen a more fascinati pasttime than genealogy! WHERE WERE YOUR COOPERS IN 1790..? Census records are vitally important, perhaps the most important genealogical research tool available. Therefore, this will be the first of the 1790 series and when completed should contain all the COOPER heads of families known to have been living in the states of Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and North Carolina. To complete these records, included are 1774 Rhode Island tax lists; 1782-1786 Virginia tax lists; 1789-91 Kentucky tax lists; and the 1790 reconstructed Delaware census. This compilation is a gigantic undertaking and obviously there will be a few omissions or corrections. These will be listed at the end of this series. The key for the 1790 census for the above named eleven states is:.males, 16 and upward (includes head of household); males 16 and under; females (includes head of household); all other free persons; slaves. For the Virginia tax lists: 01-12 would indicate one white poll, 12 black polls; 11-1-1 would indicate 11 white souls, 1 dwelling and 1 other building. I have not been able to determine the meaning of the six digit numbers shown for town in Rhode Island (S1774), but will include this information in the next series CMT xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx providence, RI 1-0-1-0-0-0 (SI774) Aaron Cheshire Co., NH 1-4-3-0-0 Aaron Georgetown County, SC 1- 0-1-0-0 Abel, Esq.

  • Hay Any Work for Cooper 1 ______
    MARPRELATE TRACTS: HAY ANY WORK FOR COOPER 1 ________________________________________________________________________________ Hay Any Work For Cooper.1 Or a brief pistle directed by way of an hublication2 to the reverend bishops, counselling them if they will needs be barrelled up3 for fear of smelling in the nostrils of her Majesty and the state, that they would use the advice of reverend Martin for the providing of their cooper. Because the reverend T.C.4 (by which mystical5 letters is understood either the bouncing parson of East Meon,6 or Tom Cook's chaplain)7 hath showed himself in his late Admonition To The People Of England to be an unskilful and beceitful8 tub-trimmer.9 Wherein worthy Martin quits himself like a man, I warrant you, in the modest defence of his self and his learned pistles, and makes the Cooper's hoops10 to fly off and the bishops' tubs11 to leak out of all cry.12 Penned and compiled by Martin the metropolitan. Printed in Europe13 not far from some of the bouncing priests. 1 Cooper: A craftsman who makes and repairs wooden vessels formed of staves and hoops, as casks, buckets, tubs. (OED, p.421) The London street cry ‘Hay any work for cooper’ provided Martin with a pun on Thomas Cooper's surname, which Martin expands on in the next two paragraphs with references to hubs’, ‘barrelling up’, ‘tub-trimmer’, ‘hoops’, ‘leaking tubs’, etc. 2 Hub: The central solid part of a wheel; the nave. (OED, p.993) 3 A commodity commonly ‘barrelled-up’ in Elizabethan England was herring, which probably explains Martin's reference to ‘smelling in the nostrils of her Majesty and the state’.

  • A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD
    A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD Christ Church was founded in 1546, and there had been a college here since 1525, but prior to the Dissolution of the monasteries, the site was occupied by a priory dedicated to the memory of St Frideswide, the patron saint of both university and city. St Frideswide, a noble Saxon lady, founded a nunnery for herself as head and for twelve more noble virgin ladies sometime towards the end of the seventh century. She was, however, pursued by Algar, prince of Leicester, for her hand in marriage. She refused his frequent approaches which became more and more desperate. Frideswide and her ladies, forewarned miraculously of yet another attempt by Algar, fled up river to hide. She stayed away some years, settling at Binsey, where she performed healing miracles. On returning to Oxford, Frideswide found that Algar was as persistent as ever, laying siege to the town in order to capture his bride. Frideswide called down blindness on Algar who eventually repented of his ways, and left Frideswide to her devotions. Frideswide died in about 737, and was canonised in 1480. Long before this, though, pilgrims came to her shrine in the priory church which was now populated by Augustinian canons. Nothing remains of Frideswide’s nunnery, and little - just a few stones - of the Saxon church but the cathedral and the buildings around the cloister are the oldest on the site. Her story is pictured in cartoon form by Burne-Jones in one of the windows in the cathedral. One of the gifts made to the priory was the meadow between Christ Church and the Thames and Cherwell rivers; Lady Montacute gave the land to maintain her chantry which lay in the Lady Chapel close to St Frideswide’s shrine.

  • Historical Magazine
    THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA HISTORICAL MAGAZINE Volume 56 January 1973 Number 1 THE PREVOSTS OF THE ROYAL AMERICANS Edward G. Williams peldom in recorded history has there been a group of people who O surpassed in adaptability the Swiss soldiers who entered the Britisharmy in the middle of the eighteenth century expressly to serve in America against the French. Among the company of officers there stands out a family of three brothers and one nephew, all of whom were exceptional in every phase of military life and personal conduct. The brothers Prevost (pronounced Prevo) left an imprint upon the annals of the British army that would be the envy of many a family historian, and nowhere does greater interest attach to their activities than in Pennsylvania west of the Susquehanna River. In fact, there are few parts of western Europe and fewer sections of the English- speaking colonies on this side of the Atlantic Ocean where interest does not attach to their mutifaceted affairs. Ubiquity was the one attribute common to the whole group, and cosmopolitanism, linked with urbanity, was the prime quality that characterized them all. In words of modern expression, "they got around" and "they belonged" in whatever locality, situation, or society they found themselves. Certain members of the family crossed and re- crossed the ocean almost as though modern air travel existed. Two of the Prevosts married American wives, which focused upon the hus- bands an ephemeral kind of fame. Along with Henry Bouquet and Frederick Haldimand, each of the Prevosts placed his individual imprint upon the memorial records of the Royal American Regiment, the King's Royal Rifle Corps of the present day.

  • R.R. Kershaw, "Lincoln: Gentlemen, Musicians and Bakers,"
    87 LINCOLN Gentlemen, musicians and bakers" Though Lincoln has a distinct claim to fame as one of the earliest General Baptist churches, knowledge of it has been scanty in the extreme. This has been due essentially, as so often elsewhere, to the dearth of individual church and wider early denominational records: the first Lincoln church book - deposited with Lincolnshire Archives in 1959 - only has records dating from 1767, and in any case appears to have been a Particular Baptist offshoot from a church at Horncastle. In 1911 W.S. Linton, church secretary of the Thomas Cooper Memorial Church in Lincoln, attempted a 'History of the General Baptist Church in Lincoln' (a typescript copy is in the Angus Library at Regent's Park College). But Linton did little more, for the period before 1700, than ransack Whitley and the older general histories for the sparse and uninformative general references to Lincoln to be found there. In these unpromising circumstances, is it possible to recover aspects of a 'lost' history from hitherto neglected sources? In the diocese of Lincoln, it assuredly is possible. For among the diocesan records are not only a host of early wills and inventories, but also the records of ecclesiastical authority which enable names of the earliest Baptists to be discovered. Armed with these names, and with sometimes vivid detail from the records of visitation courts to hand, the wills and inventories flesh out character, place individuals in social and economic perspective, and enable not only a membership listing but also valuahle clues to the tenor of the church to emerge.

A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School—New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History Written under the direction of Jan Lewis and approved by _______________________ _______________________ _______________________ _______________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October, 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION George Croghan: The Life of a Conqueror By ROBERT DAIUTOLO, JR. Dissertation Director: Jan Lewis This dissertation integrates my own specifying paradigm of “situational frontier” and his- torian David Day’s generalizing paradigm of “supplanting society” to contextualize one historical personage, George Croghan, who advanced the interests of four eighteenth-cen- tury supplanting societies—one nation (Great Britain) and three of its North American colonies (Pennsylvania, New York, and Virginia)—in terms of three fields of endeavor, trade, diplomacy, and proprietorship. Croghan was an Irish immigrant who, during his working life on the “situational frontiers” of North America, mastered the intricacies of intercultural trade and diplomacy. His mastery of both fields of endeavor enabled him not only to create advantageous conditions for the governments of the three colonies to claim proprietorship of swaths of Indian land, but also to create advantageous conditions for himself to do likewise. The loci of his and the three colonies’ claims were the “situa- tional frontiers” themselves, the distinct spaces where particular Indians, Europeans, and Euro-Americans converged in particular circumstances and coexisted, sometimes peace- fully and sometimes violently. His mastery of intercultural trade and diplomacy enabled him as well to create advantageous conditions for Great Britain to claim proprietorship in the Old Northwest (present-day Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Illinois) and for himself to do likewise.

  • Episcopal Tombs in Early Modern England
    Jnl of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 55, No. 4, October 2004. f 2004 Cambridge University Press 654 DOI: 10.1017/S0022046904001502 Printed in the United Kingdom Episcopal Tombs in Early Modern England by PETER SHERLOCK The Reformation simultaneously transformed the identity and role of bishops in the Church of England, and the function of monuments to the dead. This article considers the extent to which tombs of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century bishops represented a set of episcopal ideals distinct from those conveyed by the monuments of earlier bishops on the one hand and contemporary laity and clergy on the other. It argues that in death bishops were increasingly undifferentiated from other groups such as the gentry in the dress, posture, location and inscriptions of their monuments. As a result of the inherent tension between tradition and reform which surrounded both bishops and tombs, episcopal monuments were unsuccessful as a means of enhancing the status or preserving the memory and teachings of their subjects in the wake of the Reformation. etween 1400 and 1700, some 466 bishops held office in England and Wales, for anything from a few months to several decades.1 The B majority died peacefully in their beds, some fading into relative obscurity. Others, such as Richard Scrope, Thomas Cranmer and William Laud, were executed for treason or burned for heresy in one reign yet became revered as saints, heroes or martyrs in another. Throughout these three centuries bishops played key roles in the politics of both Church and PRO=Public Record Office; TNA=The National Archives I would like to thank Craig D’Alton, Felicity Heal, Clive Holmes, Ralph Houlbrooke, Judith Maltby, Keith Thomas and the anonymous reader for this JOURNAL for their comments on this article.

  • Society in Early Modern England
    5 The Rise and Fall of ‘Commonwealth’ In 1584 a Cambridge ‘Scholar’ wrote to his ‘friend in London’ telling how he had been invited to spend Christmas in the ‘company’ of a ‘very worshipful and grave gentleman’ whose son – a pupil of the scholar – was about to leave university for the Inns of Court. The scholar noted that the ‘request was grateful unto me in respect of the time, as also the matter, but especially of the company’: his host had ‘great wisdom, experience, and grave judgment in affairs of the world that do occur’, especially regarding ‘our own country’. The ‘singular delight to be in his company’ only increased when they were joined by an ‘ancient’ lawyer ‘who haunted much the company of the said gentleman my friend’. Although the lawyer ‘was inclined to be a Papist’ it quickly became apparent that he showed ‘moderation and reservation of his duty towards Prince and country’; prioritized ‘friend- ship or service’ over ‘their different conscience’; and ‘neither was wilful or obstinate in his opinion, and much less reproachful in speech’. Such ‘temperate behaviour, induced this gentleman and me, to affect the more his company, and to discourse as freely with him in all occur- rences, as if he had been of our own religion’ (Anon. 1584, 2–4). So begins one of the most vicious and libellous pamphlets of the early modern period. With the fi ctional ‘company’ quickly and skil- fully established, there followed a three-way dialogue between the Scholar, Gentleman, and Lawyer conducted ‘after dinner . for our recreation .
