HAYES, In the Office of tlie Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. PREFACE, present volume has grown THE out of the request of a relative, four years ago, to fill up some blanks in a Family Bible. How the response to that request grew from a letter into a pamphlet, and from a pamphlet into a volume ; by what unthought-of study, correspondence, and visits to the old homes of the family, a labour of love has reached its present stopping-place, I need not detail to any who have had anything to do with genealogical research. Some special acknowledgment, besides that given on each page, is due for co-operation in this work, without which I could have done comparatively noth- ing. Mr. Charles B. Moore, of New York, has kindly added to his " Southold Index of 1698," (in itself a mine of genealogical material,) many letters and his- torical notes, and a transcript of all his MS. Index of 1775 relating to the name of Wells. My cousin, Mr. George E. Sibley, of the same city, has taken a large share of the labour involved in the work, and nearly all its pages bear witness to his patient and accurate research. To Mr. John Ward Dean, the accomplished Librarian of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, I am indebted for valuatjle assistance and direction. Among the largest contributors of unpub lished material are the Rev. Eurystheus H. Wells, of Upper Aqueboguc, Joseph Wickh \m Case, Esq., of .Southold, Benjamin F. Wells, of Wellsburgh, N. Y., Dr. Elmore H. Wells, of Meshoppen, Pa., and Miss Sarah M. Wells, of Nashville, Tenn. But most of all, my thanks, and those of all interested in the work, are due to my brother, Robert P. Hayes, of Buffalo, who has made all the arrangements for the printing, and superintended and corrected the proof from first to last, with a care and judgment which have made the book attractive, and worthy of its purpose, in appearance, if not in contents And in saying this, I do not forget our obligations to the Printer.'; for their skill and patience in a kind of work testing both severely. The numerous errors inevitable in such a work need no apology, and those of carelessness or wilful blindness, if such there be, admit of none. To the family for whom the book is printed, I hope it may plead its own excuse, first for venturing into print at all, and ne.xt for not awaiting a ten or twenty years' longer incubation before making its appearance.

Mistakes may be avoided as well as corrected, by noting the number of each paragraph of the Supplement on the margin of the Page to which it refers. CHAPTER I. THE WELLS FAMILY IN ENGLAND. tHE English name Wells appears to have two distinct derivations. (i.) The Saxon zuell, a well or spring, from wellan, to spring, bubble up, or flow, and the kindred Danish wel and German quelle, -is found in Domesday Book as " Guella," meaning there, apparently, a stream or rivulet flowing into the German Ocean, and applied to the ancient Norfolk sea- port at its mouth.* No doubt many families of the name may find a like origin for their patronymic, in some John or Robert " of the Well"; and possibly the old cathedral city of Somerset, and other towns in England, have derived their appellation from the same familiar word.f (2.) As a family name, however, it is more commonly de- rived through the Norman-French val, a vale, and its plural vals or vaiLv, from the Latin vallis. Val, Vals, Vaux, Val- LIBUS, all with and without the prefix De, are found m numer- ous records from the Norman Conquest of 1066 to the end of the fifteenth century, apphed to famihes in almost every county in England, but mostly in Lincoln, Norfolk, Essex, *Blomfield, Hist. Norfolk, 1808, IX. 282. Outvvell, Norfolk, "where lived f As Well, Lincoln and York; Upwell and the ancient family of Wells," &c.

According to a Southold tradition of two centuries, he was the son of the Rev. William Welles, Rector of the Church of St. Peter Mancroft, 1 598-1620, and Prebendary of Norwich Cathedral, 1613-20, whose tombstone in St. Peter's Church shows him to be de- scended from the Norfolk and Lincolnshire family known in England since the Conquest, and holding from 1299 to 1503, one of the most ancient baronies in the kingdom. Hubert, Ranulf, and Robert, three sons of Harold de Vaux, a Norman baron, are said to have came into England about 1120, and settled, the two elder in Cumberland, and the youngest in Norfolk. About 1194, Adam, a grandson of Robert, holding the manor of Welles, near Alford, Lin- colnshire, took the name De Welles.§ He appears to * Robert de Vals, Vallibus or Vaux, 1066; John De Vallibus or Vaux, Consta- ble of Norwich Castle, &c.

Because the reverend T.C.4 (by which mystical5 letters is understood either the bouncing parson of East Meon,6 or Tom Cook's chaplain)7 hath showed himself in his late Admonition To The People Of England to be an unskilful and beceitful8 tub-trimmer.9 Wherein worthy Martin quits himself like a man, I warrant you, in the modest defence of his self and his learned pistles, and makes the Cooper's hoops10 to fly off and the bishops' tubs11 to leak out of all cry.12 Penned and compiled by Martin the metropolitan.

  • 1 Cowboy and Wild West Myths in Community and Franchise Banking
    Cowboy and Wild West Myths in Community and Franchise Banking of the Southwestern United States Anna Linda Musacchio Adorisio and David M. Boje Chapter for Rodolphe Ocler (ed) "Semantic and organizations: Myths, fantasms, unsaid and misunderstanding,” published by l'Harmattan (France). Max Alain Guenette is the series editor. Our chapter problematizes the relation between narratives of writing and oral stories. We propose a complexity between individual memory and collective memory of people in organization. Specifically our exploration suggests that there is a collapse of critical history, as the official codifications of the past become a sort of propaganda, a socialization of common sense, detached from the nuances social experience. Storytelling for us is the arena of several currencies of sensemaking: retrospective, ontologic-now, and prospective. We also include antenarratives (the bet of a future, & the pre-storying before narrative coherence). Antenarratives (Boje 2001, 2008) populate organization discourse, but because of the preference for retrospection they are overlooked phenomenon. The contribution of our chapter is to explore how myths in the banking industry (written as well as the oral tradition), create imbalances in what Nietzsche calls three histories: the antiquarian (stuck in the past), the monumental (antenarrative bids on the future) and a critical history (necessary to break bonds with the past and not be anchorless in the future). We then look at how the mythic aspects of “cowboy and wild west banking” are embedded in the architecture. We use the case to interrogate several theories of myth. Specifically in the banking lore we explore how hegemonic practices of franchise banks, in this instance, appropriate and distort the history of community banks.

  • Tudor Winchester from Civic
    59 TUDOR VVINCHESTER.FROM CIVIC . MSS. BY W. H. JACOB. Lovers of the past; who ride that delightful hobby, collecting Maps, Engravings, Woodcuts; &c, illustrating Winchester and Hampshire, are familiar with the somewhat scarce " Buck's East Prospect of the Old City, temp. Geo. II., from St. Giles' Hill." This shows us structures since swept away. Let us in imagination stand where Buck's group stood and try to recall Winchester as it was in the year of the Armada, when " Castile's black fleet " was sighted in the Channel. Fires blazed from our Beacon Hills, and to use Macauley's words there was experienced—. " Such night in England ne'er had been, Nor ere again shall be." Our County and City and its Port provided gallant soldiers, seamen and vessels for Howard, Drake and Hawkins. One such sailor is buried in the Church of St. Bartholomew, Hyde, where his memorial remains—a precious record. The inscription is :—" Here lyeth the bodye of Edmond Norton, of Tisted and Avington Houses descended, who had two shillings a daye pencion for hys good service by seae in Ano Dni., 1588. He desceased 10 Julie, 1600." The Dissolution of the minor Monasteries in 1536 and of the greater in 1539 deprived the City of much of her grand appearance, and in -Elizabeth's reign the City must have been a scene of ruin and desecration. The Cathedral, College, St. Cross, the Leper Hospital of St. Mary Magdalene, on the Eastern Downs, and that of St. John the Baptist were unhurt. Henry de Blois'- Fortress Palace and the Conqueror's Castle' stood entire, as did Walls and Gates.

  • 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.

Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: William L. Barney W. Fitzhugh Brundage Laura Edwards Joseph T. Glatthaar Heather Andrea Williams © 2012 David Christopher Williard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT DAVID WILLIARD: “What A Fall Was There—My Country Ruined!”: Confederate Soldiers and Southern Society, 1861‐1880 (Under the direction of William L. Barney) This dissertation traces the paths that former Confederate soldiers took in attempting to reclaim control over their personal lives and reconstitute their relationship to southern society at large in the aftermath of the Civil War. Participation in the war gave men status, purpose, a sense of worth in the eyes of their families and white southern society at large, and investment in a collective endeavor. Defeat shattered Confederate soldiers’ self‐image and led soldiers to doubt the purpose of their sacrifices, to believe that hardships came unequally, and to question whether their society had any right to determine the status of men whose experiences it did not understand. At the war’s conclusion, the links of ideology and experience that had bound Confederate soldiers and civilians together stood largely broken. The consequences of this division became evident in the postwar South.
