Along with this sense of accomplishment comes a feeling of relief and a realization that others deserve a mention of gratitude for their contribution to the work. First, I would like to thank my advisor and director, Dr. James Axtell, for initially suggesting the to* ic to me and for his scrupulous reading and editing of the preliminary drafts. Reflecting on my years as a graduate student, Mr. Axtell1s instructions in the art of writing may well be the most valuable lessons I will take with me from Williamsburg. I would also like to thank my other readers, Dr. Neal Salisbury of Smith College, Dr. Michael McGiffert of the Institute of Early American History and Culture, Dr. James Whittenburg, and Dr. John Selby for the time and attention they expended on my dissertation. In a more general sense, I must thank the Department of History of the College of William and Mary for the fellowship which carried me through the bulk of my graduate work. The support of the department, financial and otherwise, has proved invaluable. Outside the immediate department, I owe debts cf gratitude to a number of individuals, some of whose names I know; others I do not. I would like to thank the staff of the Interlibrary Loan Department of Swem Library for getting me numerous obscure publications and records, thus saving me valuable time and travel money. I would also like to thank Don Hayward of the William and Mary Computer Center, who on more than one occasion bailed me out of near-tragic self-inflicted errors in the preparation of my manuscript. Without his help, I would still be typing and retyping, endlessly. In addition, I need to thank the staff of the Massachusetts Archives both for their prompt attention to numerous long-distance inquiries and for their help during the week I occupied their reading room in Boston. Lastly, I want to cite the staff of the Mormon Genealogical Library in Newport News for their help. A number of fellow graduate students have provided both moral and logistical support while I was writing this v Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. dissertation. I would like to thank John Coski and Tim Silver for their critical ideas, their thoughtful listening, their encouragement, and especially the professional example they set. Two others, Emerson "Tad” Baker and Lisa Broberg, deserve special mention for tracking down footnote citations which I, true to form, neglected to copy down. Finally, the greatest thanks of all must go to my family for their patience, understanding, and support. To my brothers and sisters, Tom, Mary, and Gina— along with their respective families— and to my wife's parents, William and Margaret Furlow, thank you for the encouragement and for the weekends away which provided welcome and necessary relaxation. To my parents, John and Angela Puglisi, goes the greatest gratitude for their support, which has come in various forms and without which I could not have even attempted to achieve this degree. And, of course, I have saved the best for last; I cannot even put into words the amount of

Witkowski A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2010 ABSTRACT “JUSTICE WITHOUT PARTIALITY”: WOMEN AND THE LAW IN COLONIAL MARYLAND, 1648-1715 Monica C. Witkowski Marquette University, 2010 What was the legal status of women in early colonial Maryland? This is the central question answered by this dissertation. Women, as exemplified through a series of case studies, understood the law and interacted with the nascent Maryland legal system. Each of the cases in the following chapters is slightly different. Each case examined in this dissertation illustrates how much independent legal agency women in the colony demonstrated. Throughout the seventeenth century, Maryland women appeared before the colony’s Provincial and county courts as witnesses, plaintiffs, defendants, and attorneys in criminal and civil trials. Women further entered their personal cattle marks, claimed land, and sued other colonists. This study asserts that they improved their social standing through these interactions with the courts. By exerting this much legal knowledge, they created an important place for themselves in Maryland society. Historians have begun to question the interpretation that Southern women were restricted to the home as housewives and mothers.

  • Gookin's History of the Christian Indians
    AN HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF THE DOINGS AND SUFFERINGS OF THE CHRISTIAN INDIANS IN NEW ENGLAND, IN THE YEARS 1675, 1676, 1677 IMPARTIALLY DRAWN BY ONE WELL ACQUAINTED WITH THAT AFFAIR, A ND PRESENTED UNTO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE CORPORATION RESIDING IN LONDON, APPOINTED BY THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY FOR PROMOTING THE GOSPEL AMONG THE INDIANS IN AMERICA. PRELIMINARY NOTICE. IN preparing the following brief sketch of the principal incidents in the life of the author of “The History of the Christian Indians,” the Publishing Committee have consulted the original authorities cited by the -American biographical writers, and such other sources of information as were known to them, for the purpose of insuring greater accuracy; but the account is almost wholly confined to the period of his residence in New England, and is necessarily given in the most concise manner. They trust, that more ample justice will yet be done to his memory by the biographer and the historian. DANIEL GOOKIN was born in England, about A. D. 1612. As he is termed “a Kentish soldier” by one of his contemporaries, who was himself from the County of Kent, 1 it has been inferred, with good reason, that Gookin was a native of that county. In what year he emigrated to America, does not clearly appear; but he is supposed to have first settled in the southern colony of Virginia, from whence he removed to New England. Cotton Mather, in his memoir of Thompson, a nonconformist divine of Virginia, has the following quaint allusion to our author “A constellation of great converts there Shone round him, and his heavenly glory were.

    Connecticut Unscathed: Victory in The Great Narragansett War (King Philip’s War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Major Jason W. Warren, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: John F. Guilmartin Jr., Advisor Alan Gallay, Kristen Gremillion Peter Mansoor, Geoffrey Parker Copyright by Jason W. Warren 2011 Abstract King Philip’s War (1675-1676) was one of the bloodiest per capita in American history. Although hostile native groups damaged much of New England, Connecticut emerged unscathed from the conflict. Connecticut’s role has been obscured by historians’ focus on the disasters in the other colonies as well as a misplaced emphasis on “King Philip,” a chief sachem of the Wampanoag groups. Although Philip formed the initial hostile coalition and served as an important leader, he was later overshadowed by other sachems of stronger native groups such as the Narragansetts. Viewing the conflict through the lens of a ‘Great Narragansett War’ brings Connecticut’s role more clearly into focus, and indeed enables a more accurate narrative for the conflict. Connecticut achieved success where other colonies failed by establishing a policy of moderation towards the native groups living within its borders. This relationship set the stage for successful military operations. Local native groups, whether allied or neutral did not assist hostile Indians, denying them the critical intelligence necessary to coordinate attacks on Connecticut towns. The English colonists convinced allied Mohegan, Pequot, and Western Niantic warriors to support their military operations, giving Connecticut forces a decisive advantage in the field.

  • Colonial Consequence: King Philip’S War
    Colonial Consequence: King Philip’s War Name: A devastating outcome of European colonialism in the New World was a series of wars that involved and affected both Europeans and Native Americans. The bloodiest of these wars was King Philip’s War. This exercise uses a map made in 1677 by John Foster, an English colonist who was attempting to illustrate the locations of the significant battles of King Philip’s War. Before beginning the worksheet, note the compass rose on the bottom of the map. What direction is placed at the top?_____________________ Precursors to the Conflict – Land Encroachment The English colonists were especially guilty of land encroachment. By the time Metacomet, known as King Philip to the English, became Massasoit (“Great Leader”) of the Wampanoag Confederacy, the English had already founded several towns in Wampanoag territory, even though Metacomet’s father had been a loyal ally to the English. A few of these towns include: Hartford Winsor Springfield Hadly Northampton Deerfield Find each town on John Foster’s Map. What do each of these towns have in common? Why would European settlers be attracted to this area? Find the territories of the Pequids, the Nipnucks, and the Narragansett on Foster’s map. Whose territory is closest to Plymouth? Why do you think the Wampanoag Territory wasn’t included? 1 Precursors to the Conflict – Suspicions and Rumors Metacomet’s older brother, Wamsutta, had been Massasoit for only a year when he died suspiciously on his way home from being detained by the governor of Plymouth Colony. Metacomet, already distrustful towards Europeans, likely suspected the colonists of assassinating his brother.

  • The Dual and Dueling Narrative Voices in the Sovereignty and Goodness of God and the Narrative of Robert Adams,” Intersections 11, No
    intersections online Volume 11, Number 1 (Summer 2010) Brandon Weaver, ““As he wounded me with one hand, so he healed me with the other”: The Dual and Dueling Narrative Voices in The Sovereignty and Goodness of God and The Narrative of Robert Adams,” intersections 11, no. 1 (2010): 116-125. ABSTRACT While 17th and 18th century captivity narratives depict captivity in the content they describe, several narratives exhibit a kind of narrative captivity as well. In both Mary Rowlandson’s The sovereignty and goodness of God and Robert Adam’s The narrative of Robert Adams the captive’s ability to narrate their story is disrupted by the interests of those sponsoring the narrative - leading to dual and dueling voices throughout the text. This essay is an examination of the relationship between these conflicting voices. I argue that in both cases within the text, the sponsor’s interests take precedent over the experience of the captive, evidencing a complex power relationship grounded on various social, political and economic factors. Through an analysis of the relationship between these conflicting voices, I attempt to explicate the underlying ideologies that that make such a conflict possible. Finally, by comparing the shift in these ideologies across the two texts, I argue there is a corresponding shift in geo-economic policy that demonstrates an increasingly imperialistic disposition. http://depts.washington.edu/chid/intersections_Summer_2010/Brandon_Weaver_The_Dual_and_Dueling_Narrative_Voices.pdf Fair Use Notice: The images within this article are provided for educational and informational purposes.

  • Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies
    Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies BY BABETTE M. LEVY Preface NE of the pleasant by-products of doing research O work is the realization of how generously help has been given when it was needed. The author owes much to many people who proved their interest in this attempt to see America's past a little more clearly. The Institute of Early American History and Culture gave two grants that enabled me to devote a sabbatical leave and a summer to direct searching of colony and church records. Librarians and archivists have been cooperative beyond the call of regular duty. Not a few scholars have read the study in whole or part to give me the benefit of their knowledge and judgment. I must mention among them Professor Josephine W, Bennett of the Hunter College English Department; Miss Madge McLain, formerly of the Hunter College Classics Department; the late Dr. William W. Rockwell, Librarian Emeritus of Union Theological Seminary, whose vast scholarship and his willingness to share it will remain with all who knew him as long as they have memories; Professor Matthew Spinka of the Hartford Theological Sem- inary; and my mother, who did not allow illness to keep her from listening attentively and critically as I read to her chapter after chapter.
