However I hardly expect to match the song of the great poet of old. I trust this story of the Jackson family will not be drier than the general run of genealogies-nor yet all wet. Like a snowball it has gathered volume as it rolled, and may melt away as rapidly. The relatives o,f my father's time were largely listed in his Family Record, 1891. A further enumeration of the clans appeared in the Jackson Family in 1910, by my uncle, Rev. S. N. Jackson. Later. in 1932, came my Kotes and Charts of the Jackson Family. Parts of the present collection are taken from these previous publications. For earlier generations of Jackson and for the allied families I have spent much time in search during and past 25 years or more, and have accumulated over 3000 pages of notes, only a small part of which are included in these chronicles. Reference to the indicated sources will give further information and details when desired. I have listed about twenty-five to fifty ancestors who came to New England some three !hundred years or more ago. In almost every in­ stance they sailed from Old England, though some originated in France or other countries. Thus we appear to descend from almost pure Eng­ lish stock. At least two criticisms are generally warranted for most geneal­ ogies including this ;-it is incomplete: and it has some errors. Since I a:m human enough to err, I hope my readers will be divine enough to forgive- also helpful enough to send in corrections. Names and dates are most likely to become distorted, especially when copied from three to ten times, as many of these have been. Shakespeare gives man seven ages, but I would settle for three:­ In extreme youth our thoughts are of present pains and pleasures. In our teens and for some years later, we think of the present and future. In our later years we think often of the present and the future, but are prone to dwell upon the past. Now a:s the time app.roaches when I should he gathered unto my fathers, I like to think of them and enumerate their good points. They ihad Christian faith, self reliance, courage, endurance of toil, hunger and cold, enterprise, ingenuity, and a great love of freedom. I also enjoy the present in preserving the past for the benefit (I hope) of fu. ture generations. It will be noted that (like others) our tribe has increased mightily in the past three centuries-and that times have changed, together III with the descendants. Let us hope that future generations will likewise improve with the times, and that our country will continue to thrive and prosper. One little worry sometimes occurs to me. It is written that it is more blessed to give than to receive-also A horse leech had two daugh­ ters who cried "give, give." Yet perhaps there should be some reason­ able limit to giving. Otherwise what should Uncle Sam reply when a hundred million nephews and nieces continually do cry "gimme, gimme." The collection of these chronicles was practically completed in 1948, but some events have been added in 1949 and 1950. Now in Janu­ ary of 1951 it seems ready for the printer.

    Early Methodism in and Around Chester, 1749-1812

    EARIvY METHODISM IN AND AROUND CHESTER — Among the many ancient cities in England which interest the traveller, and delight the antiquary, few, if any, can surpass Chester. Its walls, its bridges, its ruined priory, its many churches, its old houses, its almost unique " rows," all arrest and repay attention. The cathedral, though not one of the largest or most magnificent, recalls many names which deserve to be remembered The name of Matthew Henry sheds lustre on the city in which he spent fifteen years of his fruitful ministry ; and a monument has been most properly erected to his honour in one of the public thoroughfares, Methodists, too, equally with Churchmen and Dissenters, have reason to regard Chester with interest, and associate with it some of the most blessed names in their briefer history. ... By John Wesley made the head of a Circuit which reached from Warrington to Shrewsbury, it has the unique distinction of being the only Circuit which John Fletcher was ever appointed to superintend, with his curate and two other preachers to assist him. Probably no other Circuit in the Connexion has produced four preachers who have filled the chair of the Conference. But from Chester came Richard Reece, and John Gaulter, and the late Rev. John Bowers ; and a still greater orator than either, if not the most effective of all who have been raised up among us, Samuel Bradburn.

DOI: 5 The Clergy at the Courts of George I and George II STEPHEN TAYLOR In the years between the Reformation and the revolution of 1688 the court lay at the very heart of English religious life. Court bishops played an important role as royal councillors in matters concerning both church and commonwealth. 1 Royal chaplaincies were sought after, both as important steps on the road of prefer- ment and as positions from which to influence religious policy.2 Printed court sermons were a prominent literary genre, providing not least an important forum for debate about the nature and character of the English Reformation.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.
  • From the Closet to the Grave: Architecture, Sexuality and the Mount Royal Cemetery

    From the Closet to the Grave: Architecture, Sexuality and the Mount Royal Cemetery

    175 ISSN: 1755-068 www.field-journal.org vol.7 (1) From the Closet To the Grave: Architecture, Sexuality and the Mount Royal Cemetery Evan Pavka This paper argues that the burials of individuals who engaged, or were speculated to have engaged, in same-sex relations in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were in constant relation to the material and metaphoric closet. Due to limited archival material concerning cases of same-sex activity in Montreal, Canada, I look out toward international grave sites to construct a framework for analysis. Using case studies from French and American cemeteries alongside those in Mount Royal Cemetery in Montreal, I argue that, for those whose memory is directed by the living, the grave functions much like the closet—closing or disclosing what institutions and society deemed “abominable.” However, more powerful individuals were able to subvert the authority of the cemetery by immortalizing their “romantic friendships” in the grave. By navigating the binaries of the closet—closure/disclosure, hetero/homosexual and repression/pride— the grave has the potential to function as an important archive of identity, sexuality and memory. 176 www.field-journal.org vol.7 (1) The article ‘Israeli Supreme Court Rejects Family Petition To Bury Trans Woman As Their ‘Son’,’ published by Buzzfeed in 2015, outlines how the parents of trans-activist May Peleg sought to commemorate her as “their son.”1 Emphasizing burial as an instrument to rectify her gender and sexuality, the spatial realities of the closet embedded in this article parallel the burials of those who engaged in same-sex relations in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.2 The article speaks to the continued presence of the closet—closing or disclosing gender and sexuality—in death.
