D' an Examination of 17Th-Century British Burial Landscapes in Eastern ‘Here lieth interr’d’ An examination of 17th-century British burial landscapes in eastern North America by Robyn S. Lacy A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Archaeology Memorial University of Newfoundland September 2017 Abstract An archaeological, historical, and geographical survey-based examination, this research focuses on the first organized 17th-century British colonial burial grounds in 43 sites in New England and a further 20 in eastern Newfoundland, and how religious, socio- political, and cultural backgrounds may have influenced the placement of these spaces in relation to their associated settlements. In an attempt to locate the earliest 17th-century burial ground at Ferryland, Newfoundland, this research focuses on statistical analysis, and identifying potential patterns in burial ground placement. The statistical results will serve as a frequency model to suggest common placement and patterns in spatial organization of 17th-century British burial grounds along the eastern seaboard of North America. In addition, text-based and geochemical analyses were conducted on the Ferryland gravestones to aid in determining age and origin. ii Acknowledgments I would like to thank everyone who has provided their support and guidance throughout the course of this project.

Then you like me, must have your bed, Among the cold and silent dead, And sleep the sleep of death.”1 The burial landscape of British North America is characterized in most peoples’ minds by gravestones carved with grinning skulls, morbid epitaphs, haunting churchyards, and a plethora of other imagery reminding the viewer of what is to come. What appears as a fixation with death in the 17th century can be better understood as an awareness and connectedness throughout a community, of the final stage in every individual’s life, regardless of politics, religion, or ethnicity. Political and religious turmoil in England, Scotland, and Wales between the Protestant Reformation and the English Civil War helped shape the burial landscape in colonial North America. The colonial dead were a mouthpiece to express a community’s outlook on policies of the time, and through the investigation of the landscape in which they were interred 300 – 400 years ago we are able to explore the decision-making processes involved in burial ground placement in the 17th century. 1 Sarah Lymen stone, 1801, Manchester, Connecticut. 1 Gravestone art and design is a thoroughly investigated area of research first propelled into popularity in North America by Harriette Forbes’ 1927 book, which looked at New England gravestones as both art and document (reprinted 1967).

It is in the hope of sup plying this deficiency, to some extent, that the following pages are presented. It may be thought that too great space has been given to a description of Shaw's forbears and early surroundings; but it is suggested that much in his character and later life is thus explained.

  • Crispus Attucks and Text Elements – What Heading Goes at the Beginning of Each Paragraph? Name ______
    Crispus Attucks and Text Elements – What Heading Goes at the Beginning of Each Paragraph? Name _______________________________________ Below are the headings. Insert them above the correct paragraphs. Terrible Violence Background on the Boston Massacre Legacy Who was Crispus Attucks? Not Everyone Saw Attucks as a Hero NO HEADING HERE Crispus Attucks was thought to be the first person of African-American descent to be killed in the American Revolution. He died on March 5, 1770, during the Boston Massacre. Crispus Attucks was born sometime in 1723 in or near Framingham, Massachusetts. His cultural heritage is the subject of much debate. Some historians believe Attucks was of African and Native American descent. Although his mother was a slave, it is not clear whether Attucks was considered a free black man, or, was a runaway slave himself. Although details of his life are largely unknown, Attucks spent many years as a sailor and working the docks of various colonial ports. Historians who claim he was a runaway slave believe he used the name “Michael Johnson” to elude capture. Following the 1768 issuance of the Townshend Act, and the subsequent unrest in Boston, British soldiers patrolled Boston’s streets, leading to resentment and bitterness among the citizens. On the night of March 5, 1770, tensions finally boiled over when a British soldier assaulted a Boston man who was harassing him. Tensions quickly escalated as a mob of Bostonians gathered with ice chunks, bottles, and other objects. Several British soldiers were cornered. When someone within the mob hurled a club at a soldier, gunshots rang out.

Except for brief quotations in a review, this work, or parts thereof, may not be reproduced without permission from the Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston, Massachusetts. Not to be reproduced without permission of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston, Massachusetts Winslow Family Memorial, Volume IV A NOTE ON MARGARET’S PORTION OF THE MANUSCRIPT AND ITS TRANSCRIPTION AS PREVIOUSLY NOTED (ABOVE, III, 72 n.) MARGARET began her own journal prior to her father’s death and her decision to continue his Memorial. So there is some overlap between their portions. And her first entries in her journal are sparse, interrupted by a period of four years’ invalidism, and somewhat uncertain in their purpose or direction. There is also in these opening pages a great deal of material already treated by her father. But after her father’s death, and presumably after she had not only completed the twenty-four blank leaves that were left in it at his death, she also wrote an additional twenty pages before moving over to the present bound volumes, which I shall refer to as volumes four and five.* She does not paginate her own pages. I have supplied page numbers on the manuscript itself and entered these in outlined text boxes at the tops of the transcribed pages.
