Washington and Thomas Twinir.g 217 Twining Coat-of-Arms - Marql!is of Donegall and Family 223 225 The Mayflower 229 INTRODUCTION The author began the work of collecting material relating to his an­ cestors very early in life. As a result of these researches, the "Twining­ Family"' was published in 1890. It was then presented with the intention of a future revision and enlargement, as circumstances and the trend of events might suggest. Fifteen and more years have glided by since then. and with them ad­ vancing age, which admonishes him that the cherished design should not longer be postponed. So far as known. there is no other person tracing the Twining family. generation to generation, embracing all the descend­ ants of the New England founder. William Twining; and hence, there is at least an apparent need for the present compilation. The following pages are. therefore, submitted in the confident hope that all the living who welcomed the former volume. and all other lovers of heraldry, seeking for inforrration. may. in some measure, find the new work worthy of perusal. As previously intimated, it is the fruit of many years of painstaking labor, briefly and concisely stated,-not a biography or history-y0 t covering all essential gTound. It has been a work of love. Without any compensation, except the pleasure of doing the labor. In the words of Freeman. the Cape Cod his­ torian, "We have found filially-serious satisfaction in endeavors to remove the moss of age from lineal and historic events, that the record may be legible to such as are inclined to hear.·· By far the larger portion of facts recorded herein, were obtained direct from families whose lineages comprise the book. Added to these, works on pedigree and history have been consulted by the hundreds; church and court records, Bibles. wills, family documents, and even grave­ yards have yielded witness to the treasury of names and dates found upon its pages. And last but not least. the author spent several weeks at Boston. Plymouth. Barnstable, Orleans, Eastham, Philadelphia and Bucks county. Pa .• examining the original records. tramping over grounds of the early an­ cestors. seeing their lands and places of resort. and standing by the tombs in which some have slept since long before the Revolutionary War. The revised work has extended tracings of collateral lines, but briefly noted in the former, many of whom are brought down to date. Copious selections from several English works, covering the English, Welsh and Nova Scotia families, have also a place beside the American. VI THE TWINING F.\:IIILY HERALDRY The study of heraldry Is regarded by many as dry and unprofitable, altho on enquiry into its origin and design, it will be found not only interesting, but necessary to hi!':•orians as well as antiquarians. Many his• torical facts would remain in sedusion but for the light flashed on them by the touch of genealogy. ThPy are important in certain legal cases where claims of inheritance are soi.zht to be established. At this point, we would express the thought that it s,,ems very strange that so few, who other­ wise manifest deep interest in historical works and societies, going to the extent of collecting data and relics, are so disinterested in the ancestors, the characters who made the history and fashioned and used the relics they profess to adore. However, the pride of ancestry is inborn in nearly all mankind. It is said that no nation was more careful to preserve its gene­ alo&1es than the children of Israel. Josephus informs us that he traced his own descent back some 2,000 years by means of public registers. Indeed. "the wisest and best have ever cherished regard for ancestry. and only those deserve to be remembered by posterity. who treasure up the · :,tory of their ancestors... The quest of an ancestor is the mark of that spirit that binds the heart of father and mother to their children. ln the former edition, the author was invaluably aided b~· Mrs. E. H. Atkinson. (dee.) of Wrightstown. Pa., Mrs. Mary B. Twining. of New Boston, Mass., Josiah Paine. of Harwich. Mass .. and Prof. Edw. H. Twin• ing, of Chicago. Ill. ln the revised work he wishes to acknowledge the kindly assistance of Mrs. Marinda S. Roberts !Kirk Gen./, Forest Grove. Penn. Mrs. Esther E. Walton. Wycombe. Penn. Geo. Lee Mahan. Stoopville. Penn. Mrs. Elvira Weston Cebu, Union, Maine. Smith 'Ian Horn. Mt. Blanchard. Ohio. Mrs. John Twining Davis. Binghamton. N. Y. Mrs. Geo. Robert Twining. Gays Mills. Wis. ORIGIN OF NAMES The English historian. Freeman, says there is no well ascertained hereditary surname in England before the Conquest, and that they d;d not come into use till about the middle of the 14th centu:-y. Prof. John Fiske, anothe• eminent author, says the origin of surnames is not perfectly clear. He says: "The largest and most familiar groups of surnames are either (I) patronymic, such as Johnson, Jones, Wilson. etc.; or (2) names of villages and estates, such as Washington, Frothingham, Greenough THE TWlND-G FA:llILY VII (green fields), Holmes (meadow), Stanley (stone pasture), etc.; or (3) names descripti•:e of occupations or social position. such as Mason, Car­ penter. Franklin (country squire), Baker, Thrasher. Weaver, Webster, etc." The earliest use of surnames in England, was about the 12th century. Long before that time clan names were common, and were always pat­ ronymics. At the time of the Anglo-Saxon conquest of Gt. Britain (5th and 6th cen.). it was customary for a cl.m or tribe to settle in a stockaded village by itself. and all English towns whose names end in ham or ton. were originally the abode of a clan. Surnames derived from estates. or localities. appear to have been the first to become stationary. and next after them the surnames derived from occupation or office. The older. animal surnames. such as Bear. Bull, Crane. Crow, Eagle, Hawk. Lamb. Lion. Turtle and Wolf. are survivals of heathen clan names; but tha animal surnames of moderri English are largely derived from her­ aldic devices or designs placed upon banners.

  • 2017 Mcgill-ASECS Fellowship Report: Dan Waterfield I Visited the Burney Centre in August to September 2017 in Order to Better U
    2017 McGill-ASECS Fellowship Report: Dan Waterfield I visited the Burney Centre in August to September 2017 in order to better understand Frances Burney’s religious thought. I hoped that a survey of her family’s letters and diaries would go some way to reconstruct – and perhaps explain – the vicious editing she undertook late in her life – both on her own, and her father’s, correspondence. My visit was more than fruitful. I found an evidence trail of sustained familial awareness of the Burney Family’s Catholic heritage, whether in Susan and Charles’ awkward cries of no popery to safeguard themselves during the Gordon riots, their concurrent sympathy towards his Catholic tenants and students, or what I suspect were Frances’ early fears come to life in her friends’ wary treatment after her marriage to General d’Arblay. This not only complicates and contextualising existing critical treatments of the Burney family, but paves the way for a wealth of new work. Since Joyce Hemlow’s foundational biography and editions of Burney’s diaries from the 1950s, the importance of the biographical quality of Burney’s political thought has been well established. From the 1980s onward a wave of feminist criticism, sparked by Margaret Anne Doody’s desire to rescue Burney from languishing as a footnote to Jane Austen, highlighted Burney’s articulation of the intrinsic violence of womanhood.1 Julia Epstein encapsulates this when she argues that Burney’s novels prove ‘surface propriety was purchased at the price of internal rage,’ and that Burney ‘wrote in order to permit herself to live.’2 Barbara Zonitch echoed this in a historically-grounded survey that suggests ‘Burney’s preoccupation with 1 Margaret Anne Doody, Frances Burney: the life in the works, (New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgners University Press, 1988), 2.

  • Literary Responses to Animal Experimentation in Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century Britain
    Medical History, 1990, 34: 27-5 1. LITERARY RESPONSES TO ANIMAL EXPERIMENTATION IN SEVENTEENTH- AND EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY BRITAIN by ANDREAS-HOLGER MAEHLE * The fact that British men of letters in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries commented on the subject of animal experimentation is well known. Apart from anti-vivisectionists and modern advocates of animal rights, who have been keen to cite the most critical of these responses,' scholars have considered them in three main areas of research. In the history of ideas some of those literary sources have been used to elucidate the origins of animal protection and the development of man's relationship to the animal world.2 In the history of literature itself they have sometimes been helpful in analysing the interaction between the so-called "New Science", i.e. the science following Francis Bacon's programme of observation and experiment, and contemporary literature.3 And recently, in the history of medicine, *Dr Andreas-Holger Maehle, Institut fur Geschichte der Medizin der Georg-August-Universitat G6ttingen, Humboldtallee 11, 3400 Gottingen, Federal Republic of Germany.
