PAVEY Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1991 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1993 OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY WAKEFIELD, WEST RIDING: THE ECONOMY OF A YORKSHIRE MANOR Thesis Approved: ~ ThesiSAd er £~ A J?t~ -Dean of the Graduate College ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply indebted to to the faculty and staff of the Department of History, and especially the members of my advisory committee for the generous sharing of their time and knowledge during my stay at O.S.U. I must thank Dr. Alain Saint-Saens for his generous encouragement and advice concerning not only graduate work but the historian's profession in general; also Dr. Joseph Byrnes for so kindly serving on my committee at such short notice. To Dr. Ron Petrin I extend my heartfelt appreciation for his unflagging concern for my academic progress; our relationship has been especially rewarding on both an academic and personal level. In particular I would like to thank my friend and mentor, Dr. Paul Bischoff who has guided my explorations of the medieval world and its denizens. His dogged--and occasionally successful--efforts to develop my skills are directly responsible for whatever small progress I may have made as an historian. To my friends and fellow teaching assistants I extend warmest thanks for making the past two years so enjoyable. For the many hours of comradeship and mutual sympathy over the trials and tribulations of life as a teaching assistant I thank Wendy Gunderson, Sandy Unruh, Deidre Myers, Russ Overton, Peter Kraemer, and Kelly McDaniels.

  • The English Ancestry of Richard' Belden of Wethersfield, Connecticut
    THE ENGLISH ANCESTRY OF RICHARD' BELDEN OF WETHERSFIELD, CONNECTICUT With an Account of the Death in England of Richard Baildon, Son of Sir Francis Baildon of Kippax, Yorkshire By Paul C. Reed, FASG , and John C. B. Sharp Donald Lines Jacobus long ago criticized the proposed origin of the immigrant Richard' Belden, who first appeared in Wethersfield, Connecticut, in 1641. Vari­ ous authors have concluded that he was eldest son of Sir Francis Baildon of Kip­ pax in the West Riding of Yorkshire,' but, as Jacobus noted, "Richard Belden's estate was small, and his social position not what we should expect if he were son of a knight."2 "Some of this evidence fits the theory, but in toto does not seem to the editor [Jacobus] to make out a very impressive case." But no definitive dis­ proof had been found. After voicing general objections, Jacobus concluded: However, it is never wise to assume that a theory is incorrect merely because it has romantic and somewhat improbable elements; and while the editor is not personally impressed favorably with the Kippax theory, he would not be understood as dogmatically expressing a negative verdict. The proper verdict is: ''unproved; somewhat improbable; just possibly true."3 . A more recent study by Donald E. Poste established that the immigrant Rich­ ard Belden had indeed come from Yorkshire, and had lived in the chapelry of Heptonstall in the parish of Halifax. At the conclusion of his summary, Poste stated, "I shall not be able to perform further research on this subject but present these clues in the hope that someone else may be able and willing to follow through."4 Identifying the two Richards as the same person-based on the circumstantial evidence then known-did not seem entirely implausible.
