CLOSING YEARS AND DEATH 460 INDEX 490 PORTRAIT OF ZACHARY MACAULAY frontispiece From a drawing by Staler, 1831 CHAPTER I EARLY YEARS Zachary Macau lay, the third son of the Rev. John Macaulay and of his second wife, Margaret Campbell of Inverseger, was born at the manse of Inverary on the 2nd of May 1768. The clan MacAulay had long inhabited the western Highlands, and appears to have been considered a branch of the MacGregors. In a bond or deed of friendship1 between their chief, Aulay MacAulay of Ardincaple, and the chief of the MacGregors, which was executed in 1 591, MacAulay acknowledges to being a cadet of the clan MacGregor, and agrees to pay a tribute of cattle to his chief. But when the MacGregors fell under the ban of the law, Aulay MacAulay did not scruple to turn against them, and did his best to avert any suspicion of complicity in their rebellion from himself and his followers, by the hostility with which he pursued his former allies. The successors of this politic chieftain did not possess sufficient prudence to retain a grasp upon the property which his shrewdness had preserved for them. They gradually dissipated the family possessions by carelessness and extravagance, until the last chief, another Aulay MacAulay, overwhelmed with debt, was reduced to sell Ardin caple and the scanty remains of his patrimony to John, the fourth Duke of Argyll, in 1764. Some of the Macaulays had settled in the south-west part of the island of Lewis, and in the reign of James VI. of Scotland one of them was distinguished by the name of Donald Cam, to signify that he was blind of one eye. It may be mentioned that this defect was inherited by his great-great-grandson, Zachary Macaulay, and that it was a family tradition among Macaulay's children that their father did not discover the fact that he 1 In this deed the two contracting parties describe themselves as originally descended from the same stock — ' M'Alpins of auld.' A LIFE AND LETTERS OF could only see with one eye until after he had grown to man's estate. Donald Cam was noted for the courage and activity which he displayed in the feuds that were constantly taking place with neighbouring clans ; but he made himself specially conspicuous by the fierceness and frequency of his attacks upon the Fife- shire Colonists at Stornoway, and prided himself on taking the patriotic side in those troubles. His son, who was com monly called the Man of Brenish, had even a higher reputation than his father for feats of strength and daring ; but after him the Macaulays seem to have sought distinction in more peaceful fields, and it is a curious sign of the rapid changes which were taking place at this time in the habits and manners of the Scotch, that this pugnacious Highlander should have had a son, and five grandsons, Ministers of the Presbyterian Church. Aulay Macaulay, the son of the Man of Brenish, and the grandson of Donald Cam, may reasonably be credited with a considerable portion of hereditary spirit in adopting a profession so opposed to the tastes hitherto prevalent in his family. He was Minister of Harris. One of his sons, the Rev. Kenneth Macaulay, was sent as missionary to St. Kilda by the Society for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge, and published afterwards a History of St. Kilda, which attracted the attention of Dr. Johnson, and procured him the honour of that visit to his manse at Calder of which Boswell gives so amusing an account. The eldest son of Aulay, John Macaulay, the father of Zachary, was born at Harris in 1720. At the time of Dr. Johnson's tour to the Hebrides in 1773 John Macaulay was Minister of Inverary, but the following year he was appointed to Cardross in Dumbartonshire, and removed there when his son Zachary was about six years old. John Macaulay's first wife had died a year after her marriage, leaving one child ; but by his second wife, Margaret Campbell, he had at the time of his removal a large family, which in the end numbered twelve children. With such rapidly increasing demands upon a small income, it was necessary that each son should in turn, as soon as he attained a suitable age, be put in the way of maintaining himself, and when only fourteen Zachary was placed in a merchant's office at Glasgow. ZACHARY MACAULAY 3 The history of his early years will be best related by himself in a short autobiographical memoir which he wrote at Sierra Leone in 1797. ' I can scarce ever think on my past life without adverting to those words of John Newton's : ' " Thou didst once a wretch behold In rebellion blindly bold Scorn Thy grace, Thy power defy That poor rebel, Lord, was I." ' I am indeed a signal monument of God's long-suffering and tender mercy. What shall I render to Him for all His benefits ? ' Soon after I reached the age of fourteen, I became in a great measure my own master, by being removed from the control of my father and mother, and placed in a merchant's counting- house in Glasgow. This was a line of life which I entered upon with great regret, for I had at that time a strong passion for literature; but I acquiesced readily in my father's determina tion, from perceiving that his stipend could not well afford the expense of a literary education. ' I felt the disappointment, however, very acutely, and thought I lost by this arrangement all my past labour to which I had been greatly stimulated by the hope of academical honours. I had already acquired a pretty general knowledge of the Latin language, and had also such a tincture of Grecian learning as enabled me to read Homer without much difficulty. I read French with tolerable ease, and had besides made considerable progress in mathematics. What made me prize all this the more was that it had been acquired mainly by my own exer tions, for I had the misfortune never to have been under any regular system of tuition. It was only at times that I had any other instructor besides my father, and his avocations were so numerous as to render it altogether impossible for him to pay me the requisite attention. Being the oldest son at home, the care of instructing the others devolved on me ; and though by this circumstance I was a good deal aided in my learning, yet I think I can trace to it the rise of several tempers which have caused me no small trouble in after life, particularly my im patience and self-confidence, my imposing tone, and dogmatical, magisterial style as well in writing as speaking. ' But my reading was by no means confined to the dead languages. My father had a large collection of books, and my appetite for them was quite insatiable. There were few of the English classics which I had not read. The great poets were quite familiar to me. I was, besides, an eager hunter after that LIFE AND LETTERS OF sort of anecdote wherewith ephemeral publications abound. What stimulated me to this, in addition to the pleasure they afforded myself, was, I remember, an eager desire of shining in conversation. I much affected the company of men ; and having a good memory, though very little judgment, and a great share of conceit and assumption, I was in the habit of obtruding my remarks whatever the subject of conversation was. I was much encouraged to this by the notice and ill-timed commendation which was occasionally bestowed upon me when I ought rather to have been repressed. It seems unnatural that the bent of my inclinations should have lain in this direction at so early an age, but it arose in a great measure from the necessity imposed upon me to seek amusement in some other way than boys generally do, by a serious accident that happened to my right arm when I was nine years old. It subjected me to several painful operations, and it was about five years before I recovered the proper use of it. ' I had at this time some religious impressions on my mind, the effect of education. I liked to hear sermons, I thought it wrong not to say my prayers, and I felt a salutary check of conscience when I perceived myself flying directly in the face of a divine mandate. Happy for me if I had never lost this feeling, but happier still if my conscience were now restored to its office of serving the living God, and acted faithfully as his Vicegerent.

  • Black Methodists in Nineteenth-Century Nova Scotia1
    Towards Community: Black Methodists in Nineteenth-Century Nova Scotia1 ALLEN P. STOUFFER Works on African Canadian and Canadian Methodist history are virtually silent on black Methodism. This is surprising for black Methodists have been a continuing part of the provinces’ institutional religious life. In the Maritime provinces they participated in the post-revolutionary Loyalist migration to Nova Scotia and maintained a provincial presence throughout the nineteenth century. This paper examines black Nova Scotian Method- ism to the mid-nineteenth century as an aspect of black associational activity in nineteenth-century British North America.2 Methodists were among the 3,500 black Loyalists who came to Nova Scotia at the close of the Revolutionary War. They were most numerous on the province’s south shore around Shelburne where blacks settled in considerable numbers. Their principal leader was Moses Wilkinson, a blind and lame former slave from Virginia, who arrived in Shelburne on board the L’Abondance in August 1783 with 409 other blacks. Already evidently an avid Methodist, Wilkinson immediately began preaching in Birchtown, an adjacent black settlement. He was an effective exhorter for a religious awakening occurred among black immigrants there in the winter of 1783-1784. When William Black, the province’s future Methodist leader, visited Shelburne in the spring of 1784, he reported preaching to 200 blacks at Birchtown, sixty of whom were Wilkinson converts.3 Wilkinson’s first convert was Violet King, the wife of Boston King, a former slave from a plantation near Charleston, South Carolina. Violet, a North Carolina fugitive, and Boston met and were married in New York Historical Papers 2000: Canadian Society of Church History 196 Black Methodists in Nineteenth-Century Nova Scotia late in the war.

  • Roots and Routes
    1 ROOTS AND ROUTES The journey embarked upon by Black Loyalists destined for the Baha- mas was not marked by a rupture from their past experiences in colonial America, but rather reflected a continuity shaped by conditions of en- slavement and their entry into a British colony as persons of color. Like West African victims of the transatlantic slave trade, Black Loyalists arriv- ing in the Bahamas did not come as a tabula rasa, but rather brought with them various ideas aboutproof religion, land, politics, and even freedom. Thus, upon arrival in the Bahamas the lessons of the Revolutionary War were appropriated and reinterpreted by Black Loyalist men and women in a va- riety of ways, often with varying consequences. Such complex transmuta- tions within the Bahamas invite an analytical approach that examines the roots of such thought as it emerged out of the social and political world of colonial British North America. A brief examination of leading Black Loyalists in the Bahamas demon- strates that the world they lived in was indelibly shaped by the world they left behind. Prince Williams’ remarkable story began in colonial Georgia where he was born free, but was later “cheated out of his freedom and sold to an American.”1 Although his slave owner is never mentioned by name, Williams’ account reveals that he was forced to serve “this man” when “the British troops came to Georgia.” Taking advantage of the chaos of the American Revolution, Williams, in an act of self-assertion, escaped to the British side in order to claim freedom as a Black Loyalist.

  • The Royalist Maroons of Jamaica in the British Atlantic World, 1740-1800
    Os Quilombolas Monarquistas da Jamaica no Mundo Atlântico Britânico, 1740-1800 Th e Royalist Maroons of Jamaica in the British Atlantic World, 1740-1800 Ruma CHOPRA1 https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4838-4678 1 San Jose State University One Washington Square, San Jose, California, 95192, USA [email protected] Resumo Este artigo investiga como uma comunidade de ex-escravos, os quilombolas de Trelawney Town, do norte da Jamaica, sobreviveu à escravidão e ao exílio, aliando-se aos interesses do Império Britânico. A Jamaica, como outras sociedades escravistas do Novo Mundo, produziu fugitivos, e quando esses escravos fugidos estabeleceram comunidades separadas e autônomas de longa duração foram chamados, em inglês, de Maroons e, em português, de quilombolas. O isolamento protegeu os quilombolas jamaicanos da escravidão, mas também os impediu de participar da prosperidade do Império Britânico em expansão. Em 1740, após anos de guerrilha contra a elite colonial, seis grupos quilombolas da ilha assinaram tratados nos quais aceitavam o regime da plantation, optando por usar sua experiência de guerrilha em benefício dos grandes proprietários, e não contra eles. Em troca de sua própria autonomia, tor- naram-se caçadores de escravos e impediram outros escravos de estabe- lecer novas comunidades quilombolas. Porém, décadas de lealdade não evitaram que o maior grupo de quilombolas, o de Trelawney Town, fosse banido. Em 1796, após uma guerra violenta, o governo colonial depor- tou-os sumariamente para a Nova Escócia britânica.

We were warmly welcomed by hosts Scott & Terry MacAulay and Matt & Tiffany MacAulay at Inverary Resort in beautiful Baddeck, Cape Breton. We had a lot of activities over the three days but the main attraction was the chance to meet friends from past Gatherings and connect with new MacAulays from both Canada and the United States. There was lots of laughter, friendship and visiting. And we’re very excited to welcome 15 new members to the Clan MacAulay Association. After a leisurely Thursday morning breakfast Chieftain and High Commissioner of the Canadas Bud MacAulay Lush, First Lady Tena and with the assistance of Susan, Shari and Neil & Debra it was time to set up the Clan MacAulay tent near Lakeside Landing. Our display included the Chieftain’s sword, historical information on the MacAulays of Ardencaple, Isle of Lewis, Northern Ireland, Ullapool & Loch Broom and the MacAulay MacGregor connection as well as books and places of MacAulay interest. After registration Thursday night saw the welcome meal at Lakeside Landing followed by our MacAulay Gatherers being split into teams for a rousing game of Scotland trivia. Merriment ensued and friendships formed! Congratulations to Zaedra and her very knowledgeable winning team! After breakfast at Glasgow House our International Heritage Secretary Lucas McCaw joined us via the internet for a very interesting and informative discussion on DNA and its uses in genealogy. The Highland Village in Iona is a Village that starts in Scotland in the early 1700’s through to the 1930’s on Cape Breton Island.
