Houpt-Varner Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History, Durham University 2014 Abstract This study explores community relationships and religious divisions through an examination of the seventeenth-century Quaker community in County Durham and Newcastle upon Tyne. It places Quakerism within the context of wider society to show how the early Quaker community was a manifestation of the struggle between government, authority and religion in the seventeenth century. It focuses on who the first Quaker were in English society and in County Durham’s society. It explores the processes and reasons for religious governmental organisation among the early Quakers through the experiences of the Quaker membership in Durham. Chapter 1 discusses the historical context and research questions that frame this thesis. It establishes an understanding of the Society of Friends by examining the structure and character of the Quaker meeting system. Chapter 2 discusses the genealogy of the Quaker movement in Durham through the social and religious traditions in the region. It examines the history of radical Protestantism beginning in the 1560s to the rise of the Quakers in the 1650s. Chapter 3 analyses the beginnings of the Quaker movement in Durham and Newcastle in the 1650s by examining the experiences and reactions to the Quaker ministers. Additionally, it explores the beginning of community organisation in Durham in 1654 and 1659. Using quantitative data, Chapter 4 seeks to better understand who the individuals were that joined and maintained the Quaker meetings in the first decades of their establishment. Using my own database of occupations, hearth tax assessments and probate records this chapter explores the middling nature of Durham’s Society of Friends. Chapter 5 analyses Durham’s Quaker meetings after the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, and the extent of civil and ecclesiastical persecution against Quakers in Durham. Chapter 6 explores Durham’s Society of Friends throughout the seventeenth century to analyse the codification of belief and the acceptance of authority within the community. It highlights the significant similarities between Quaker communal attributes and those found in wider society. Lastly, it explores the how Durham’s Quakers negotiated their lives between their moral obligations and social and economic responsibilities, and how regulation of these principles defined the Quaker meetings in Durham. 1 Table of Contents Tables, Figures and Images ...................................................................................................................... 4 Abbreviations ........................................................................................................................................... 5 Conventions .............................................................................................................................................. 5 Copyright .................................................................................................................................................. 5 Acknowledgments .................................................................................................................................... 6 Modern Map of North-east England....................................................................................................... 7 Map highlighting the known Quaker residences in North-east Englandc. 1670…………………………………… 8 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION -

    Benevolent Colonizers in Nineteenth-Century Australia Quaker Lives and Ideals Eva Bischoff Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies Series Series Editors Richard Drayton Department of History King’s College London London, UK Saul Dubow Magdalene College University of Cambridge Cambridge, UK The Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies series is a collection of studies on empires in world history and on the societies and cultures which emerged from colonialism. It includes both transnational, comparative and connective studies, and studies which address where particular regions or nations participate in global phenomena. While in the past the series focused on the British Empire and Commonwealth, in its current incarna- tion there is no imperial system, period of human history or part of the world which lies outside of its compass. While we particularly welcome the first monographs of young researchers, we also seek major studies by more senior scholars, and welcome collections of essays with a strong thematic focus. The series includes work on politics, economics, culture, literature, science, art, medicine, and war. Our aim is to collect the most exciting new scholarship on world history with an imperial theme.

  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

  • Ancestry of Glendon Jean Starr Group Five
    Copyright 2014 Linda Sparks Starr ANCESTRY OF GLENDON JEAN STARR GROUP FIVE Edward Pate and Mary (Crawford) Eleanor (Pate) Clark Comstock Hambleton was the daughter of Edward Pate, born February 25, 1766 in Bedford County and Mary Crawford, born November 18, 1771 in neighboring Botetourt (pronounced "bought a tot") County, Virginia. We know very little about the childhood of either Edward or Mary. We can assume their life wasn't all that much different from others who grew up in the shadow of the Blue Ridge during the Revolutionary War years. Both fathers served with local militia companies, requiring them to be away from the family for three to six months at a time. Edward by then was old enough to take on the chores usually performed by his father and Mary would have been expected to keep her younger siblings from harm's way. Once the war was over dinner table conversation likely revolved around discussion of crop yields and the latest news from Kentucky. Edward and Mary married April 6, 1789 in Botetourt County and their first children, including your Eleanor, were born there. For them the decision to move west wasn't as difficult as it could have been. They were joining others -- her parents, several of their siblings and numerous friends. This group settled in Hardin County, but ended up in Ohio and Breckinridge when those two counties were carved out of the larger one. The first Court of the Quarter Sessions for Breckinridge County was held Monday, August 15, 1803 with William Comstock, Edward Pate and James Jennings presiding.

  • Review of Community Governance in the Unparished Area of Durham City Carried out by Durham County Council Final Recommendations
    Review of Community Governance in the Unparished Area of Durham City carried out by Durham County Council Final Recommendations (No Parishing Arrangements) On 26 October 2011, the County Council approved terms of reference for the conduct of a Community Governance Review in the area of Durham City. The terms of reference were published on 1 November and included the terms of the petition which had been received from residents requesting the establishment of a town council. Although the petition was not compliant with the legislation the Council decided to undertake the review. On 21 st March 2012, the Council approved Draft Recommendations for a second period of consultation with Durham. This draft can be accessed at www.durham.gov.uk/communitygovernance On 25 July 2012, the Council approved a further consultation of the areas of Aykley Vale, Priory Road and Dryburn Park to request whether the residents of these areas would prefer to be either simply parished, or to join Framwellgate Moor Parish Council. The Review The Council is carried out this review under the Local Government Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 (‘the Act’). It was known to the Council that there was a wish in the area by some residents to have the review with a view to establishing parish council arrangements. The review was however delayed whilst the Council was waiting for the Local Government Boundary Commission for England recommendations in relation to electoral arrangements for County Durham, following Local Government Reorganisation in 2009. The review was commenced before final recommendations were published by the Boundary Commission in order to enable the Council to put in place any electoral arrangements for any parish council established by the review in time for the County Council elections on 2 May 2013.

  • Handlist 13 – Grave Plans
    Durham County Record Office County Hall Durham DH1 5UL Telephone: 03000 267619 Email: [email protected] Website: www.durhamrecordoffice.org.uk Handlist 13 – Grave Plans Issue no. 6 July 2020 Introduction This leaflet explains some of the problems surrounding attempts to find burial locations, and lists those useful grave plans which are available at Durham County Record Office. In order to find the location of a grave you will first need to find which cemetery or churchyard a person is buried in, perhaps by looking in burial registers, and then look for the grave location using grave registers and grave plans. To complement our lists of churchyard burial records (see below) we have published a book, Cemeteries in County Durham, which lists civil cemeteries in County Durham and shows where records for these are available. Appendices to this book list non-conformist cemeteries and churchyard extensions. Please contact us to buy a copy. Parish burial registers Church of England burial registers generally give a date of burial, the name of the person and sometimes an address and age (for more details please see information about Parish Registers in the Family History section of our website). These registers are available to be viewed in the Record Office on microfilm. Burial register entries occasionally give references to burial grounds or grave plot locations in a marginal note. For details on coverage of parish registers please see our Parish Register Database and our Parish Registers Handlist (in the Information Leaflets section). While most burial registers are for Church of England graveyards there are some non-conformist burial grounds which have registers too (please see appendix 3 of our Cemeteries book, and our Non-conformist Register Handlist).
