Coll. 26 Barclay, Thomas, 1753-1830 Barclay Collection Ca. 1764-1893 Maine Historical Society Coll. 26 Barclay, Thomas, 1753-1830 Barclay collection ca. 1764-1893 Accession: Ms00-2 Copyright: Requests for permission to publish material from this collection should be discussed with the MHS Image Services Coordinator. Size: 7 linear feet. Unbound manuscripts, bound manuscripts, correspondence, Ogilvy letter books, surveys, maps and financial data. Scope and content: This collection consists of letters, deeds, field notes, and maps between the individuals associated with determining the boundaries between British Canada and the United States, including commissioners and their agents and surveyors in the field who were mapping the areas in dispute; particularly the area of the true St. Croix River, Grand Manan and Passamaquoddy Bay, the St. John River, the northern waters of the Connecticut River, the Great Lakes west to Lake of the Woods in Ontario. Letters between the British and American commissioners, and all the others given the task of resolving the Northeast Boundary Dispute are included. Thomas Barclay's early work as an agent for the British Government prior to serving on the 'St. Croix Commission' are included. Range of dates includes 1764 to 1827 for correspondence; 1792-1893 for the maps. Biographical note: Thomas Barclay, 1753-1830, served as commissioner on behalf of the British government for the St. Croix commissions following the Treaty of Ghent, which were appointed to agree on a Canadian-American border between Passamaquoddy Bay and the Great Lakes. Thomas Barclay was assigned as Commissioner under the 4th and 5th articles of the Treaty of Ghent, the 4th Article having to do with the borders around Grand Manan Island and Passamaquoddy Bay and, in the 5th article, the line from the St. Croix River across the northern border of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York. Maps, diaries, surveyors' reports and letters between commissioners and other government officials are included with this collection. Anthony Barclay, 1792-1877, Thomas Barclay's son, took over as British Commissioner under the 6th and 7th articles of the Treaty of Ghent, after the original Commissioner, John Ogilvy, died around 1819. (John Ogilvy's letter books are included in this collection). Article 6 dealt with the boundary running across the Great Lakes to Sault St. Marie, and the 7th article dealt with the lands from Lake Superior to Lake of the Woods, Ontario. His initials (AB) and notes appear on many of the maps of the Great Lakes area, dated ca. 1820. Ward Chipman, 1754-1824, was appointed British Agent under an article under the Treaty of Washington, 1793. His task was to assist in determining the true 'St. Croix' River, which would serve as the boundary between Maine and New Brunswick. Robert Pagan was sent on a detectival mission to determine which large river had an island at its mouth, which was presumably the St. Croix meant in the original charters. Robert Pagan and others brought to the commission maps from Native American Francis Joseph Neptune of the area. In 1823 Ward Chipman was elected President of New Brunswick. The son of Ward Chipman, also named Ward Chipman, 1787-1851, assisted in working on the commissions. Robert Pagan served as a 'detective' on behalf of Ward Chipman, [Sr.] scouting around the area of Passamaquoddy Bay, interviewing the Native Americans. It was this work of Robert Pagan's that produced the Francis Joseph Neptune maps of the area. Provenance: Collection 26, the Thomas Barclay collection, includes the papers of Thomas Barclay, 1753-1830, Anthony Barclay, 1792-1877, Ward Chipman, 1748-1824, his son, Ward Chipman, 1787-1851 and the Robert Pagan papers. The Thomas Barclay and Anthony Barclay papers were given to the Maine Historical Society in 1894 by George Lockhart Rives, Thomas Barclay's grandson. The Ward Chipman papers were donated to the Maine Historical Society by William Henry Kilby, 1894. At some point the Ward Chipman papers were integrated into the Thomas Barclay Collection presumably because they were primarily concerned with the Northeast Boundary dispute between Great Britain and the United States. The Robert Pagan papers were included in one of these two gifts; see accession notes. Notes from the accession book, Ms00-2: 'Ms-002 Barclay Coll. 1731-1910 Gift, 1894 of George Lockhart Rives, [Thomas] Barclay's grandson and late Assistant Sec. of State and Ward Chipman papers, gift 1894, of William Henry Kilby of Eastport, Me. The Pagan papers were included in the gift.' Concerning the Ward Chipman collection, "In 1879 the old Chipman mansion, which stood at the head of Prince William Street, St. John, N.B., ...was dismantled and repaired, and the family papers... were gathered up and sold to a junk dealer who shipped them to Boston. ...On landing some of the packages got broken open and my attention was called to the contents...I made a partial examination and saved what is preserved here. Ward Chipman was appointed Agent of the British Government before the commission for arranging the eastern boundary line between the United States and her dependencies in 1794 and also before a subsequent commission for the same purpose after the Treaty of Ghent in 1817, and his son, the second Ward Chipman, H.C. was associated with him on the latter occasion."--Written by William Henry Kilby, Boston, January 1883 who donated these papers to the Maine Historical Society, 1894. The oversize maps were separated from the manuscript collection and housed in map drawers entitled Coll. 26 Northeast Boundary Collection. Over the years, maps having to do with the Northeast Boundary were added to these drawers, the consequence being that it is not known precisely which maps belonged to the Barclay's and Mr. Ward Chipman and which maps were added later. Maps dated after the 1894 gift date and found in these drawers were removed in 2002 and integrated into the general Map Collection of the Maine Historical Society.

Condition and conservation: In 2002 a grant was awarded to the Maine Historical Society by the Historical Collections Grant Program, funded by the New Century Community Grant Program and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission to catalog the maps of this collection at the item level. The maps have been cataloged item by item and there are bibliographic descriptions on the library's online database MINERVA at http://ursus2.ursus.maine.edu use the Dewey search: type in Coll. 26. Some digital images may be seen on the website Maine Memory Network at http://www.mainememory.net, use the search words Thomas Barclay. In 1968 the manuscript items of the collection were microfilmed by MIT Microfilm. These mss. items are presently foldered and held in nine acid-free boxes. In 2002 the maps of the collection were cleaned, put in acid-free folders and housed as a collection within the Map Collection.

  • Downtown Neighborhood City of Niagara Falls: Phase I
    Intensive Level Survey Historic Resources – Downtown Neighborhood City of Niagara Falls: Phase I 3.0 Historical Overview This section provides a narrative history of the City of Niagara Falls with specific emphasis on the Downtown neighborhood. The overview addresses significant trends and themes associated with the city’s historic context. The Downtown neighborhood’s period of significance is identified and examined in this chapter. Martin Wachadlo, architectural historian, conducted the background historic research. 3.1 Niagara County: Physiology and Geology Figure 3-1. Niagara Falls, Niagara Falls, New York Niagara County borders the southern shore of Lake Ontario in the extreme northwestern corner of New York State, and occupies part of the Huron and Ontario Plains. The Ontario Plain comprises part of Lake Ontario to the foot of the Niagara Escarpment1, and the Huron plain extends from the crest of the escarpment southward beyond the county line. The Niagara Escarpment begins in Watertown, New York, USA and extends westerly along the Manitoulin Island in the Province of Ontario, Canada. The escarpment continues through Wisconsin and Illinois. With geological material measuring 64-ft thick, the stratigraphy at Niagara Falls provides a glimpse into the overall rock types comprising the Niagara Escarpment (Figure 3-1). The top layer is Lockport Dolomite, a hard rock referred to as the "Lower Silurian Group." Below the top layer is Rochester Shale, which is much softer and wears away easily with the effects of erosion. Under the shale are harder strata of limestone and dolostone known as the "Clinton Group." Below the harder strata is Grimsby sandstone.

  • Chipman Family a Genealogy Of
    THE CHIPMAN FAMILY A GENEALOGY OF THE CHIPMANS IN AMERICA 1631-1920 BY BERT LEE CHIPMAN BERT L. CHIPMAN. PUBLISHER WINSTON-SALEM. N. C. COPYRIGHT 1920 BERT L. CHIPMAN MONOTYPED BY THE WINSTON PRINTING COMPANY WrN9TON-SALEM, N. C, Introduction Many hours have been spent in gathering and compiling the data that makes up this genealogy of the Chipman family; a correspondence has been carried on extending to every part of the United States and Canada, requiring several thousand letters; but it has been a pleasant task. What is proposed by genealogical research is not to laud individuals, nor to glorify such families as would other­ wise remain without glory. Heraldic arms have as little worth as military aside from the worth of those bearing them. Not the armor but the army merits and should best repay describing. It has been my earnest desire to make this work as complete and accurate as possible. In this connection I wish to acknowledge the valuable aid in research work rendered by Mr. W. A. Chipman (1788), Mr. S. L. Chip­ man (1959), Mrs. B. W. Gillespie (see 753) and Mrs. Margaret T. Reger (see 920). C Orgin THE NAME CHIPMAN is of English otjgin, early existing in various forms such as,-Chipenham, Chippenham, Chiepman and Chipnam. The name is to be found quite frequently in the books prepared by the Record Commis­ sion appointed by the British Parliament, and from i085 to 1350 it usually appears with the prefix de, as,~e Chippenham. Several towns in England bear the name in one of its f onns, for instance: Chippenham, Buckingham Co., twenty-two miles from London, is "a Liberty in the Parish and Hundred of Burnham, forming a part of the ancient demesnes of the crown and said to be the site of a palace of the Mercian kings." Chippenham, Cambridge Co., sixty-one miles from London, is '' a Parish in the Hundred of Staplehou, a dis­ charged Vicarage in the Archdeaconry of Suffolk and Diocese of Norwich." Chippenham, Wilts Co., ninety-three miles from London, is "a Borough, Market-town and Parish in the Hundred of Chippenham and a place of great antiquity.

  • A Case of Identity: Massachusettensis and John Adams
    This is the author's final manuscript version of an article accepted for publication in New England Quarterly by MIT Press.
