    'A MAN MOSTE MEETE': A NATIONWIDE SURVEY OF JUSTICES OF THE PEACE IN MID-TUDOR ENGLAND, 1547-1582 _____________ A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Department of History University of Houston _____________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy _____________ By Clarissa Elisabeth Hinojosa May 2014 i 'A MAN MOSTE MEETE': A NATIONWIDE SURVEY OF JUSTICES OF THE PEACE IN MID-TUDOR ENGLAND, 1547-1582 _____________ An Abstract of a Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Department of History University of Houston _____________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy _____________ By Clarissa Elisabeth Hinojosa May 2014 ii ABSTRACT This dissertation is a national study of English justices of the peace (JPs) in the mid- Tudor era. It incorporates comparable data from the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and the Elizabeth I. Much of the analysis is quantitative in nature: chapters compare the appointments of justices of the peace during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, and reveal that purges of the commissions of the peace were far more common than is generally believed. Furthermore, purges appear to have been religiously- based, especially during the reign of Elizabeth I. There is a gap in the quantitative data beginning in 1569, only eleven years into Elizabeth I’s reign, which continues until 1584. In an effort to compensate for the loss of quantitative data, this dissertation analyzes a different primary source, William Lambarde’s guidebook for JPs, Eirenarcha. The fourth chapter makes particular use of Eirenarcha, exploring required duties both in and out of session, what technical and personal qualities were expected of JPs, and how well they lived up to them.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

PR.OV yxrt-6 I JOHNSON. PREFACE. From the summit of Sinai thousands of years ago, in the midst of thunderings and lightnings, Jehovah gave to the human race a moral code to be observed by the people of every land, and of every clime throughout all ages, and a part of this code proclaimed to every man and woman and child, "Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." The duty enjoined in this commandment includes in its requirement not only respect, and kindness and honor to parents while living, but a kind and honorable remembrance also of ancestors who have departed. Hence it is becoming and appropriate in the members of a family line to collect and pre­ serve and transmit to posterity the history of their progenitors. The work of the genealogist is to trace ancestral lines, and to connect one generation withanother during a succession of years, to gather items ofinterest in connection with each family, and to preserve a correct and reliable history of the descendants of a remote ancestor.

  • Pioneer Founders of Indiana 2014
    The Society of Indiana Pioneers "To Honor the Memory and the Work of the Pioneers of Indiana" Pioneer Founders of Indiana 2014 The Society of Indiana Pioneers is seeking to identify Indiana Pioneers to recognize and honor their efforts in building early Indiana foundations. Each year, 15-20 counties are to be selected for honoring pioneers at each annual meeting. The task of covering all 92 counties will be completed by 2016, the year we celebrate the centennial of the founding of the Society of Indiana Pioneers. For 2014, the Indiana counties include the following: Adams, Decatur, Fountain, Grant, Jasper, Jay, Jennings, LaGrange, Marion Martin, Owen, Pulaski, Ripley, Spencer, Steuben, Vermillion, Wabash, Warrick Office: 140 North Senate Avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204-2207 (317) 233-6588 www.indianapioneers.org [email protected] The Pioneer Founders of Indiana Program 2014 “To honor the memory and the work of the pioneers of Indiana” has been the purpose and motto of The Society of Indiana Pioneers from the very beginning. In fact, these words compose the second article of our Articles of Association. We carry out this mission of the Society in three distinct ways: 1.) we maintain a rich Pioneer Ancestor Database of proven ancestors of members across one hundred years; 2.) Spring and Fall Hoosier Heritage Pilgrimages to significant historic and cultural sites across Indiana; and 3.) educational initiatives, led by graduate fellowships in pioneer Indiana history at the master’s thesis and doctoral dissertation levels. To commemorate the Society’s centennial and the state’s bicentennial in 2016, the Society is doing something new and dipping its toes in the world of publishing.

It classifies the material and allots a permanent reference number to each item. The Sneyd Papers were at Keele Hall after the Second World War, when they were purchased by Mr Raymond Richards, of Gawswcrth, from Cci« Balph Sneyd (1863-1949), the family’ s last direct descendant. After adding the rescued papers to his collection Mr Richards placed the bulk of it in the John Rylands Library, on deposit. The University of Keele (then the University College of North Staffordshire) purchased most of the collection in 1957 and the Sneyd Papers therefore returned to Keele, where they are now housed in the University Library. From the time of the Civil War the accumulation lias had its ups and downs and damage in terms of actual losses (particularly in the map department) accounts for a noticeable imbalance. Over- the years fa irly extensive disturbance has resulted in fragmentation of the archive and the number of items listed in isolation is consequently high. It is possible that some items now incorporated with the family papers were collected by the Rev.

    ^7<y,/ kSLct f>1>ï /933 To the binder: these 2 leaves, pp.vil-x are throw-outs in the final binding: GENEALOGICAL DICTIONARY of MAINE and NEW HAMPSHIRE PART II THE SOUTHWORTH PRESS PORTLAND, MAINE 1933 PREFACE TO PART II Although over four years have passed, the promise made in the Preface to Part I, that before Part II should go to press, all of my materials would have been thoroughly worked over for the whole book, is ixnkept. Not only have my minutes from so many years among the records not been fidly uti­ lized, but people who have studied certain families will often find that au­ thentic matter in print has escaped notice. Genealogists trained to library work will turn to many such omissions. Yet I do, to console myself, hold to the belief that James Savage himself, had he -in our day- thought of writing his Genealogical Dictionary, would have abandoned it almost before start­ ing. As it was, he exhausted every printed book from cover to cover (often led into errors thereby). Today such books have multiplied more than a hundred fold. In the interim between Parts I and II, books have gotten into print which fill me with dismay, and worse— books -flung- into print, reckless of errors; and some of these by a genealogist of high reputation. Is there not now enough of such material on the library shelves without increasing it 1 More to the point, shall I add to it? Personally I have reached a conviction that we have arrived at a stage where the desideratum is not the multiplication of genealogical books, nor even the extension of research, but the rescuing of genealogy itself from being brought into public contempt by reckless graspers after high ancestry and their exploiters.

  • The Heraldry of Queens' College Cambridge
    The Heraldry of Queens’ College, Cambridge By David Broomfield BA (Hons) Introduction The representations of the coat of arms of Queens’ College are many and varied. On the face of it they should be easy to agree. They were granted in 1575 by Robert Cooke, Clarenceux King of Arms, during his heraldic Visitation to Cambridge. According to Cooke Queen Margaret granted “unto the saide President and fellowes and their successors her armes to be used in the saide colledge as they stand depicted in this margent.” He added to Margaret’s paternal arms a border of green to differentiate those of the College from those of her family. However, the painting of the arms in the grant is in error and many of these mistakes find their way into the arms as shown in the College. The main problem in agreeing a definitive version of the College’s arms is that of reconciling different heraldic traditions. In England it is a principle that the “metals”, gold and silver, take precedence over the “colours”, blue, black, red, green and purple. This is best illustrated in the arms of Grey where the silver bar appears at the top of the shield and is then followed by blue and so forth. This is at variance with some Continental practice, for example the arms of Hungary have at the top a red band followed by silver. Also in most English arms six “bars” usually suffice but for Hungary the four silver bars are said to represent the four main rivers of Hungary. The curious agglomeration of quarterings in Margaret’s arms can be traced back to the first House of Anjou.
