BY REV. MOSES H. WILDER. NEW YORK: PRINTED BY EDWARD 0. Ji::•,KJNS, 20 :-.()l{'J'H W!LL!:\M Snn:ET, FOR THE CO\lPILER, Nu. 4 DEAc'i STREET, llR<>OKLY:--S. X. Y. 1878. IT is a s:icred duty to preserve the genealogy and history of families, but our busy population are so engrossed in the present cares, that few have had regard for the past, or solicitude for the future history of themselves or their families. But to those who have a respect for their ancestrnl name I know of no more agreeable duty than to place on record the history and incidents of their lives and their relatives, that they may be preserved to the latest generations. In nothing is the Divine benevolence more fully illustrated than by those ties of friendship and fraternal love which bind the family circle together. I know not of a more cheerless reflection to a social being than the thought of having no interest in the history of his ancestry; no affectionate regard for those who are to follow him ; no record of where or what he has been in life, floating like a bt;bble in the stream of time, into the ocean of eternity. And next to training the spirit for the Life Eternal, there can be no more noble employ­ ment than that of · treasuring up and perpetuating the deeds, principles, and virtue3 of a uoble ancestry.

SULHA~ HOUSE ANIJ CHURCH. THIS is a view of peculiar interest to the 1Yilders. The Sulham estate is the inheritance given by Henry Vll. to l\';cholas Wilder in April, 1497. Around that church lie the remains of the suc­ cessive inheritors of the estate; four of the line h:ive been rectors of the parish. John, the grandson of Nichol&.s, :rnd the grandfather of our ancestors Thomas and Edward, married the orily daughter and heiress of Thomas Keats, Esq., who built tl,c: S•.1ll1cc1n House. [t was given, in 1582, by entail, to \Villian1 Wilder, thc,;r son. lt has ever been in the possession of the \i'ilder Ln:,ily, and i~ now occupied by John \Vilder, f>.D., rector of the 11arisb, ,•.ho, on his access10n to the rectorship, greatly improved the clrnrch and grounds. JJurlcy Hall, since I 7 7 7 tLe residence of the inheritors of the estate, is a beautiful place, some two miles northerly from Snlham. They all worship in this church. The present rector, who with his wife is seen in the foreground, is r,ow seventy-seven years of age, and has been rector over forty year$. This plate is taken from a photograph sent rne a si1ort time ~ince by Frederic \Vilder, Esq., of l'urley Hall.

PERHAPS there is no prominent name of which so little was known respecting their past history as the \rrLDERS. Three or four prominent men had traced their own pedigree, and were sup­ posed to know about all that could be known of the history of the name. The labor, for over forty years, in a profession that de-­ manded all my strength, prevented my carrying out an early desire to gather the materials for a histor~v of my name; and though rnore than twenty years' time has been partially given to it, I had only learned that the whole tin~e and mind must be given to the work in order to be effect11al. At the age of threescore and fifteen, with a toleraLle degree of health, and neither employment nor income, I gave my time, first, to a visitation of all the Wilder;; of New York and Brooklyn, for my own recreation. This led me to the libraries, genealogies, and local histories, and then to an extensive corre­ spondence-the result of which is before us. Had J possessed the strength and pecuniary ability ro spend a few years or even months in travel-visiting the old residences of the Vv'ilders, examining the town records, family records, cemetery monu­ ments, registries of deeds and wills, etc.-I should have made a far more complete genealogy and history than I have been able to obtain. The most I claim for· this Book is. that it is a sincere and laborious effort of more than four years to lay the foundation from which some future son of the YVi]ders, with more time and ability, may give to the world a more perfect genealogical history of the nafue. l\fy hearty thanks are due to the very many who have so freely responded to my requests and furnished me, with great pains, the register of their branches of the family. A similar faithfulness on the: part of some few others would have filled some important gaps which could not be filled without their aid. It will Le seen that all the old traditions have been swept away, and a short, though l think reliaLle, sketch of our connection with Vlll PREFACE. the English gentry has taken their place. Even Pmley Hali has had to give place to Shiplake as the family residence of the olden time. I have found that records are not always reliable. Town records often differ from the records in the old family Bible, which must be presumed to be correct. In one instance, I had the famiiy record from the father and again from the mother, and the dates differing materially. When the children and grandchildren have given their statements of the families that have gone before them, they are not always in the order of their birth, and the dates are often defective; and it shonld not seem strange that many errors should creep into a work that has depended much on such testimony. Great care has been taken to make the Tables as correct as possible, and it is believed that very few essential errors will be found. The Tables were prepared for the press while in a state of ex­ treme suffering ; and in affixing the consecutive numbers, many errors are found to have been made (sometimes numbers are re­ peated; in one case, ten numbers twice used; in others, fifty numbers are left out); but h1ving been quoted in the "History," they could not be corrected. There are yet some large families whose pedigree is not traced back to any satisfactory root; yet, in their physique and mental characteristics, there is abundant reason to believe that they were from the same stock.

  • AMERICA's ANNEXATION of HAWAII by BECKY L. BRUCE
    A LUSCIOUS FRUIT: AMERICA’S ANNEXATION OF HAWAII by BECKY L. BRUCE HOWARD JONES, COMMITTEE CHAIR JOSEPH A. FRY KARI FREDERICKSON LISA LIDQUIST-DORR STEVEN BUNKER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2012 Copyright Becky L. Bruce 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that the annexation of Hawaii was not the result of an aggressive move by the United States to gain coaling stations or foreign markets, nor was it a means of preempting other foreign nations from acquiring the island or mending a psychic wound in the United States. Rather, the acquisition was the result of a seventy-year relationship brokered by Americans living on the islands and entered into by two nations attempting to find their place in the international system. Foreign policy decisions by both nations led to an increasingly dependent relationship linking Hawaii’s stability to the U.S. economy and the United States’ world power status to its access to Hawaiian ports. Analysis of this seventy-year relationship changed over time as the two nations evolved within the world system. In an attempt to maintain independence, the Hawaiian monarchy had introduced a westernized political and economic system to the islands to gain international recognition as a nation-state. This new system created a highly partisan atmosphere between natives and foreign residents who overthrew the monarchy to preserve their personal status against a rising native political challenge. These men then applied for annexation to the United States, forcing Washington to confront the final obstacle in its rise to first-tier status: its own reluctance to assume the burdens and responsibilities of an imperial policy abroad.
