Email:[email protected] Page 1 Web:http://members.freemail.absa.co.zaldickwh/whitass/index.htm As you will have realized by:now I did not get the September issue of the Newsletter done before I left on hohdays so it is going to be late! Patrick and I spent two weeks in England. We had planned to spend most of the time on the west coast but did manage to get a little further that we thought we might. Our friend Ma1colm Toms was with us and we spent a few days at the beginning and the endof our trip with his sisters in Hertfordshire and Surrey. We drove down to Cornwall and stopped by chance at Pitton, Wilts on the way. We had read quite a bit lately about Henry II's palace at Clarendon and wanted to see if there was anything left of the palace that had once time been so prominent. I knew Clarendon was between Pitton and Salisbury and we spent several hours hiking the public footpath across the Clarendon Park Estate. Any ruins that might exist are likely on private property and not open to the pubhc. Spent a morning exploring the ancient ruins at Tintagel in Cornwall and then headed up the coast. We stopped at Morwenstow where Thomas Whitlock and Elizabeth lobus were married in 1636. An amazing, beautiful and very large parish church considering how remote the place is now. There is no town really, just the surrounding farms. The church is high on a cliff overlooking the ocean. There are many stones m the churchyard commemorating sailors including the figurehead from a ship that sank nearby. We explored the coast of Devon, dropped Ma1colm off in Bristol and headed across to Wales, stopping at Tintem Abbey. Headed on up to Led5ury and Lugwardine where my Trehearne ancestors lived in the 1500's and 1600's. Stopped at Salwarpe Mill near Worcester which is beautifully restored. Salwarpe churchyard contains stones for several of my Treheame family members from the 1700's and 1800's. Spent some time exploring Shrewsbury and then beaded for Nottingham. Next stop was Leeds in Yorkshire as we were unable to find a place to stay in Nottingham and had to head further north. Would have liked to have spent some time in Nottingham because of Its many Whitlock connections. Leeds was a very pleasant surprise. I have done an article for this issue on Whitelocks restaurant in Leeds. York was only a short drive from Leeds so headed there next. The Minster in York was spectacular and we managed to get a tour of the excavation under the Minster of the Roman fort the Cathedral was built on top of. Our only day of rain was spent at nearby Castle Howard where Brideshead Revisited was filmed. Spectacular none the less. The highlight of our trip down the Norfolk coast was stopping at Burgh Castle which is a fairly intact Roman fort. Three sides of the fort enclose an area about the size a football field. The walls are roughly the height they were in Roman times and the round turrets along the walls and at the corners are still in place. The fourtli side of the fort was on the edge of the river and has disappeared. Hard to believe the walls were nearly 2 000 years old. The old church near the field where the fort stands was interesting for its round tower. We also visited nearby: Hales which is a thatched roof church, also with a round tower. Hales has Whitlock connections but could not see any Whitlock stones in the small churchyard next to the church. Strangely Hales church is quite a way from the town ofHales and it took us a while to figure out where it was. The road sign "To Church Lane" we passed after we left the town was a good clue. The rest of our time was spent in Surrey, visiting places such as Hampton Court and Hever Castle and generally' relaxing. I had taken some Harton family papers with me to England to deliver to a member of that family. The collection of certificateshwills ana apprenticeship indentures, dating back to the 1790's had come into my possession and I felt they s ould go to a family member as they had no connection to me or my family. Iliad put a query on the GenForum and a year ago had been contacted by David Mole of Bmningliam who was a descendant of this part of the family. As David was away while we were in the Binningham area I mailed the package and was please to hear it arrived safely. I know I would be thrilled to find such a coliection of Whitlock history tucked away in someone's files! r You never know ... I have suspended the Birth Register pages I have been adding to the back of each issue. Unfortunately, having converted all our files to Microsoft Access a COU21eor years ago" I have not been able to get tile programs written to print the Registers in the way I would like to. Hugn Ainsley in England had offered to Whitlock Family Newsletter 11 I Vol.21 No.3 Sep 2002 Page 2 give it a try:but think lam going to have to make the effort and learn how to do it myself This may take a bit of time but I have signed up to take a course at the local college in October. For the next couple of issues therefore I will be including an updated index to the Newsletters. This lists all the articles that have appeared in the Newsletter since I converted them to a quarterly format in 1985. Hopefully you find them of use. Over the past 17 years I have tried not to repeat arficles so there are some interesting ones in the early issues that many of you will not have seen. If an individual article is of interest I can extract it and in most cases email them. If you would like copies of any of the back issues. Cost is $2 a year for 1985-1987 and $3 a year for 1988-2001. Hopefully by the March 2003 issue I will be able to resume the Birth Registers. Highlights in this issue are several. Geneva Campbell continues to uncover more great documents in the Virginia archives. I have also added each of these to the VALAND file that lists every Virginia Whitlock reference I>re-1800. Bit l:>y bit we are piecing together which land holdings were held by tile various families. Still too many Thomas Whiflocksl] Lawrence Otis continues to uncover gems in the Ontario records. The records and c]iPI>ingsfrom the St.Thomas, Ontario library surname mdex file (X4500) added more details to the WHITLOCKOl chart including one of the wife's names that we had not been able to uncover for years. Other clippings have been sent in by John Johnson that confirmed the Pennsylvania origins ofthe New Brunswick family. Shirley Brendle also keeps us up to date on the modem Virginia clips. The range of eBay Whitlock items that Patrick Lynch uncovers for us continues to amaze me. My office at home is becoming a bit of a Whitlock museum tliese days with Whitlock artifacts hanging on the walls and lining the bookshelves. I was interested in the obit from Arvilla Corey (X4496) as Doran Whitlock may be a descendant of the Whitlocks of Germany. Hopefully we will be able to uncover more about the origins of this Skagit Valley, Washington Whitlock family. I was very interested to hear from Quintin White 01New Zealand, one of our diligent 'Pitton Whitlock researcher~ that he has discovered his wife also has Whitlock ancestors (X4540). They are detailed on our WHITLOcK20 chart, the Whitlocks of Oxfordshire. What more could you ask for than to be a double Whitlock descendant! ! Wilfred Gathercole gave all the familiar Devon names in his email (X4554) about his descent from Thomas & Susannah (Whitlock) Allin. Strange to fmd that after all the research that has been done on the Devon Whitlocks that we are not sure which Susannah it is who married Thomas Allin. The same with Guy Coombe- Whitlock (X4566). We have an idea how he is connected to the Devon Whitlocks but have not been able to prove it, yet. Our thanks to another eBay surfer, Eddie Whitlock for the donation of the sheet music for the songs by Kathleen Whitlock (R2301 ,R2302). These songs were written 1906-07 and I have never seen a reference to this Kathleen Whitlock. I would be curious to Know if anyone is aware of a Kathleen Whitlock in their family who wrote popular songs at the turn of the last century. Hopefully we will eventually figure out how she fits in. We now have quite a few musical pieces composed by Whitlocks, starting with Bulstrode Whitelocke's "Coranto" written in 1634. There are numerous pieces for the organ composed by Percy Whitlock, and many songs by Bobby Whitlock and now Kathleen Whitlock. There are also many Whitlock musicians and we are always on the lookout for more. Staying with music, while in England we also went to a "car-boot sale" in Epsom.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • The Surfeit of Peace and Plenty
    APPENDIX THE SURFEIT OF PEACE AND PLENTY We have already spoken in these pages of the idea that peace and prosperity tend to produce rebellion.1 The epistolary essayist James Howell states this idea in a general sense, though perhaps the insubordi­ nation he has in mind stops short of outright rebellion: The sword is the surest sway over all people who ought to be cudgelled rather than cajoled to obedience, if upon a glut of plenty and peace they should forget it.... Riches and long rest makes them [the common people] insolent and wanton.2 Clement Walker expresses a particularly full and elaborate form of the idea and applies it to the English Civil War in his The Mysterie of the Two Ivnto's (1647), later reprinted as part of his The Compleat History of Independency (1661): Before I conclude, let me give you the pedigree of our Miseries, and of their Remedies. A long Peace begat Plenty, Plenty begat Pride, and her Sister Riot, Pride begat Ambition, Ambition begat Faction, Faction begat Civil War: And (if our evils be not incurable, if we be not fallen in id temporis quo nec vitia nostra, nec eorum remedia terre possumus) our War will beget Poverty, Poverty Humility, Humility Peace again, Sic rerum revertentibus vicibus annulus vertitur Politic us. The declining spoak of the wheel will rise again. But we are not yet sufficiently humbled, ...3 1 See above pp. 19 (where an important passage from the Britania Triumphalis is quoted), 28, 54, 88, 200-201, 210, 215.

Schenkelberg ALL RIGHTS RESERVED HEADLONG HE RUNS INTO CIRCE’S SNARES: REPRESENTATION AND THE RESTORATION ROYAL MISTRESS by MEAGAN RYAN SCHENKELBERG 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 Professor Alastair Bellany and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October, 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Headlong he runs into Circe’s snares: Representation and the Restoration Royal Mistress By MEAGAN RYAN SCHENKELBERG Dissertation Director: Professor Alastair Bellany Headlong he runs into Circe’s snares: Representation and the Restoration Royal Mistress is an interdisciplinary study of the Restoration royal mistress. During the Restoration and for generations thereafter, the mistresses of Charles II (reigned 1660- 1685) came to symbolize the court both for its apologizers and its critics. In becoming such symbols, the figures of these women were made to play a role within the many social, religious, and political concerns during this tumultuous period. In focusing upon representation, this dissertation does not look to recover the actual actions (political or otherwise) of royal mistresses such as Barbara Palmer, Duchess of Cleveland, Louise de Kéroualle, Duchess of Portsmouth, or Nell Gwyn – arguably the three most important and well-known of Charles’s many mistresses – but rather to see how the figures of these women were used to ‘think through’ contemporary issues. Bringing in various sources including poetry, libels, novels, histories, and medical books, this project examines how women were made to play central roles within political comment and rhetoric.

  • English and Scottish Exiles in Northwest Germany C. 1683–1709
    Kathrin Zickermann University of St Andrews English and Scottish Exiles in Northwest Germany c. 1683–1709 Research conducted by historians such as Ginny Gardner and Douglas Catterall has shown that the United Provinces became a safe haven for the Scottish Calvinist exiles who left the British Isles in the wake of the res- toration of the Stuart monarchy in 1660. 1 The Scottish exile community which established itself in the Dutch towns centred around Scottish and “English” churches which provided aid for fellow countrymen not least through poor relief. 2 The core group of the exiles consisted of a group of ministers who in some cases became incumbents of these ­Scottish churches. They were joined by a group of approximately 170 laymen as well as by a number of expatriates associated and sympathising with them. 3 Although the group of lay exiles was attached to the Presbyterian faith their motivation to leave the British Isles was not always rooted in their religion but sometimes in political intrigue—albeit the two can be hard to separate. Some men were suspected of being involved in the Both- well Bridge Rising (1679) or in the alleged Rye House Plot ­conspiracy to kill Charles II and his brother in 1683. 4 What remains hitherto unknown is that from 1683 some North West German territories and cities received intensive attention from English and Scottish religious and political exiles who had left or were in the process of leaving the British Isles to take refuge on the continent. Under the leadership of the Englishman William Waller a group of exiles took up negotiations first with the Imperial city of Bremen and then with duke 1.
