Allotments and Settlements.-In the lower range was a lot number 12 of John Crow, 15 acres of this lot were sold by Wil­ liam Roberts to Rowland Lahorne in 1648. Six years later La­ horne transferred his purchase, with a house, to Thomas Skinner, "victualler," but it is soon found in the occupancy of Thomas Call, as a grantee or tenant of Skinner. The marriage of Skin­ ner with Call's widow, Lydia, after 1678, returned the house and land to their earlier possessor (p. 69). To the honrd Cort for the counti of Middlesex.

Corprl Jo Green and sergt Skinner overseers to se ye wood cutt and carted (p. 259). This "new plantation" at Quansigamug, which was the first attempt to settle the town of Worcester, is described as being "vpon the roads to Sprinkfield about 12 miles west ward from Marlborough. A petition, dated May 27, 1674, contains the names of 29 persons to whom lots had then been granted and laid out. Of these the following are the names of Malden men Philip Atwood; Simon Grover; Thomas Grover; Simon Meylin; John Provender; John Starkey; Phineas Upham; Pelatiah Whit­ temore; Lazarus Grover; Stephen Grover; Samuel Lee; Thomas Pratt; Thomas Skinner; Henry Swillaway; Daniel Whittemore (p. 304). In March 8, 1678-9, Thomas Skinner was one of those inter­ ested in the :pla~tation of Quansigamug, but it does not appear that he took personal part in the settlement (p. 305). In 1680 we hear of Sergt. Thomas Skinner in a Malden Com­ pany (p. 308). 11 3mo. 1680, Sergt. Thomas Skinner appointed tithingman (p. 344). In the next town meeting after the one held in 1678 Sergt.

Shinner Constable for this yeare ensueing And the Towne to pay him three pounds. Thomas Skinner served alone as Constable in 1679 and 1680 (p. 346). In 1695 there was a division of land of 75 lots. The odd and last lot, containing 7 acres, had been previously granted by a vote of the town to Sergeant Thomas Skinner, then an old man, who having according to an old custom, made a deed of gift of his estate for future maintenance to his son Abraham, had no part in the general allotment. March 15, 1694-5 voted That Sargent Skiner shall have seuen akers of land in the common for his life time next to Joseph flids lote after the 2,000 ackes is lade out and after his death to Returne to the towne. March 28, 1695 uoted That Sargent Skinners seuen accars of common wood land formerly granted him for his life time is now giuen to him and his wife and then to Return to his children. The house and land which Thomas Skinner and his wife Lydia gave their son Abraham in Feb. 1693-4 lUdd. Co. Deeds X, p. 534, had been the estate of her former husband, Thomas Call. The house stood near the southeasterly corner of Cross and Wal­ nut streets. Abraham Skinner died soon after, leaving a widow, to whom his father deeded the lot numbered 75 in the second division in consideration of maintenance "with meat, drink, and clothes for my life," May 27, 1698. Midd. Co. Deeds. XII, p. 749. Thomas Skinner died March 2, 1703-4 and his widow lived until Dec. 17, 1723, when she died at the age of about 87 years (p. 374). Besides that which was specially granted to Thomas Skinner, 6 lots of 6 acres each were "laid out on ye land at ye end of ye 300 acres. The grantees were John Chamberlin, Thomas Grover, Samuel Lewis, Thomas Dunnell, Benjamin Webb and William Teele (p. 378).

After the death of Han­ nah, Jan. 14, 1725-6 it was in the occupancy of Abraham Skin­ ner, perhaps her son, and it afterwards passed into the hands of the Parkers, in some way of which I have found no record. This estate, when deeded to Abraham Skinner 1693-4, comprised 3 acres of land, with the house and barn, on the northerly side of the road, running to a point at the easterly end, and 12 acres on the southerly side of the road. The removal of the highway in 1729 left the house on the southerly side of the new way. The old house was not standing in 1798 [ ? ] and it had been demol­ ished, it is supposed, many years before. Its cellar remained until within 60 years past [1899] and a large rock, which stood in ·the field near the southeast corner of the present Cross and Walnut streets, bore the name of Skinner's Rock, and preserved the name of its former owners long after they had passed away.

    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.

  • Who Was Bishop Samuel Seabury? by the Rev
    Who was Bishop Samuel Seabury? By The Rev. Jay Cayanyang Eternal God, you blessed your servant Samuel Seabury with the gift of perseverance to renew the Anglican inheritance in North America: Grant that, joined together in unity with our bishops and nourished by your holy Sacraments, we proclaim the Gospel of redemption with apostolic zeal; through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Samuel Seabury was born on November 30, 1729, in North Groton, Connecticut (present day Ledyard and near Gales Ferry where Bishop Seabury Anglican Church is located). His father, also known by the same name, was the local Congregational minister. Shortly after Seabury was born, his father resigned his pastorate to pursue Holy Orders in the Church of England. While his father was away, Seabury’s mother, Abigail died. After ordination, his father returned to minister in New London, Connecticut under the banner of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. Later, the elder Seabury remarried and moved to an assignment in Hempstead, Long Island where under his father’s tutelage as young boy, Samuel Seabury and his brother Caleb prepared for college. As such, Samuel Seabury grew up in home a life that was greatly shaped church life and the Book of Common Prayer. Samuel Seabury studied at Yale College and afterwards returned home to Long Island to study medicine and assist his father in a nearby town as a catechist. Eventually, through the encouragement and support of his father, he went on for further study in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Galatians 6:14 Message from Fr Andrew Murphy SSC (Tel.: 07920 596990) Corpus Christi and Petertide My friends in Christ, the beginning and the end of this coming month of June see two important liturgy days, firstly Corpus Christi and the second we call Petertide or Peter’s tide being the Sunday nearest to 29th June which is the festival day of SS Peter and Paul. At Corpus Christi, meaning the body and blood of Christ, we celeb- rate His presence in the Eucharist, normally four days after Pentecost but nowadays sometimes on the following Sunday. The Petertide season in- cludes the days before and around that feast and is special in the Anglican calendar for it is in the days around then that most deacons and priests are ordained into the church. The two feasts are not unconnected, for it is only ordained priests who can celebrate Mass and consecrate the sac- red bread and wine which becomes Christ’s body and blood. When Christ handed Peter the footsteps of St Peter who himself wrestled with fol- keys of Heaven, and declared that he was “the lowing Christ and later endured hardships to be rock” upon which his church was to be built, he faithful to his master.

    ‘My father what? Had a duel? He’s in his seventies! Silly man!’ so might antiquarian, James Byres of Tonley have exclaimed when he was brought word about the unseemly quarrel occasioned by Byres Snr. Patrick Byres was an Irish Jacobite, born in Dublin, 1713. In 1741 he married Janet Moir of Stoneywood and became a Burgess of Guild in Aberdeen, yet his political leanings and hot Celtic temper seem to have constantly landed Patrick in trouble. His first problem was his involvement in the Forty-Five Rebellion, fighting on Bonnie Prince Charlie’s side as Major Byres in Stoneywood’s regiment. Escaping Culloden, Patrick’s ally, Gordon of Cluny hid him in his castle until he and his family escaped to France. He managed to hang on to Tonley by the clever suggestion that his English name was Peter, thus he was not Patrick Byres the rebel. While his youngest sons, William and John developed military careers in the Navy and Royal Engineers respectively and second son, Robert took up merchant interests in Prussia, the eldest, James, became something of a tour guide. He embraced antiquarian studies in Rome and became the go-to ex-pat for visiting Scots gentlefolk on their ‘grand tours’ of Europe. Meanwhile, his father returned to Tonley, Mrs Byres hoping her husband’s adventures were over. But, due to Janet’s nephew, James Abernethy of Mayen, Patrick was to be the centre of unwanted attention once more in 1763. A traditional ballad is dedicated to the incident in which John Leith of Leith Hall, Rhynie was murdered by Abernethy after an argument in the New Inn, Aberdeen.

    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 133 (2003), 205–244 A walk along the Antonine Wall in 1825: the travel journal of the Rev John Skinner Lawrence Keppie* ABSTRACT In 1825 the Rev John Skinner, an Anglican clergyman from Camerton in Somerset, walked the length of the Antonine Wall from east to west, as part of an extensive Scottish tour. He recorded his observations at length in a journal and prepared daily a series of pencil sketches which constitute an invaluable record of the monument at a fixed date. His sketches include sculptures and inscriptions subsequently lost, and a few sites otherwise unrecorded. He also visited the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow in order to view its collection of Roman stones.
