Barker, Chairman 161 Marriages by Rev. Daniel Weiser, D.D. New Goshenhoppen Reformed Church Great Swamp Reformed Church 1833 -1863 Prepared by Kenneth H. Hallhan Two and a quarter centuries ago on October 12, Rev. George Michael Weiss, recently arrived from Germany, cele brated communion with the pioneer Reformed group at New Goshenhoppen in what is now Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery County, and made a written report of the service to the Church Fathers in Holland. Thus begins the recorded history of the Congregation, although tradition places the beginnings many years earlier. In 1952 this date also fell on a Sunday, and the Congrega tion observed the anniversary with a similar partaking of the sacrament. Further services in honor of the event were held two weeks later, October 26. In connection with these celebra tions the pastor, Rev. Calvin M. DeLong, D.D., and a commit tee published a commemorative history of the Congregation entitled "Two Hundred Twenty-Five Years at New Goshen hoppen". The booklet contains more than forty illustrations and a "brief" history of the Congregation down to 1903, the beginning of the present pastorate. (This latter part was not included because May 31, 1953 will mark the Golden Anniver sary of the present pastorate, and a similar booklet is planned for the spring in honor of Dr. DeLong.) The first century of the Congregation had been covered rather exhaustively by the late Dr. William J. Hinke, the noted 168 164 bulletin of historical society of MONTGOMERY COUNTY historian of the Reformed Church, in his 1920 work, "The Goshenhoppen Charge, 1727-1833". Little had been done about the pastorates of the four ministers since 1833, and Dr. DeLong's account is all the more interesting. A copy of "Two Hundred Twenty-Five Years at New Gosh enhoppen" is in the library of the Society. Similarly, Dr. Hinke's work contained the complete baptis mal, marriage, and burial records of the charge, complete as far as these had been recorded and preserved. (The Society published an index to these records, prepared by this writer, in Volume VII, numbers 1, 2, and 3.) The pastoral acts of the last four ministers, however, have not been published. Rev. Daniel Weiser, D.D., (1799-1875) was the great- grandson of the celebrated Conrad Weiser of colonial fame. In 1833 after about ten years' service in an extensive charge in the vicinity of his native Selinsgrove, Dr. Weiser accepted a call to New Goshenhoppen, which with Great Swamp — now Trinity Reformed — in Lower Milford Township, Lehigh County, at that time formed the New Goshenhoppen charge. He recorded few New Goshenhoppen baptisms, unfortunately, buthe listed his burials and his marriages. It will be noticed in the following alphabetical list of marriages that several marriages are entered after Dr. Weiser retired in 1863. Whether these entries were made by his son. Dr. Clement Z. Weiser, who succeeded him at New Goshen hoppen, or were marriages performed by the aged minister after his retirement, is not indicated. At least two of the services were performed by the son, according to notes in the records. The original Weiser records are written in German script and some of the names are not easily decipherable. The writer accordingly followed a manuscript prepared several decades ago by the late Mahlon Hillegass, long an active member of the Congregation. Many of the principals in the list were contemporaries of Mr. Hillegass, and so he did not experience the same difficulties in deciphering the Weiser writing. The REV. DANIEL WEISER, D. D. 1833-1863 UABRIAGES BY BEY. DANIEL WEISER—1888.1863 165 two lists were checked, however, and some discrepancies were noted and corrected. The original spelling was followed, but where there were several variations of the same name, these were usually all listed under the more commonly found present-day spelling. * K. H. H. *The reader will note that the double-indexing of the names in the following record makes unnecessary a separate index of women's names. Variations in spelling of the same name have been grouped together and will not necessarily be found in their alphabetical order. (Publica tion Committee.)

BIRD FOR SENIOR THESIS SPRING 2013 APRIL 29, 2013 PORTRAIT OF A PIRATE IN BRITISH MALAYA “It was a pertinent and true answer which was made to Alexander the Great by a pirate whom he had seized. When the king asked him what he meant by infesting the sea, the pirate defiantly replied: “The same as you do when you infest the whole world; but because I do it with a little ship I am called a robber, and because you do it with a great fleet, you are an emperor.” – St. Augustine1 *** Eric Hobsbawm relates confrontations between the Mesazgi brothers and the colonial Italian government in Eritrea to paint a portrait of social banditry in Bandits. The following relates the confrontation between Capt. John Dillon Northwood, a 19th-century trader based in Singapore, with Si Rahman, an Illanun pirate. This encounter illustrates the social and Hobsbawmian nature of these incidents of piracy.

  • Between Frontiers: Nation and Identity in a Southeast Asian Borderland
    Th e Geo-body in Transition 15 chapter one cC Th e Geo-body in Transition Spatial Turn in Southeast Asia Th e emergence of territorial states in Southeast Asia was a grandiose process of social change, marking a total transformation from the “pre-modern” to the “modern”. To understand the nature of the trans- formation, it is crucial to focus on four processes involved in the spatial turn under Western colonialism. Th e fi rst is the emergence of an ideology in the West that provided a rational for the possession of colonial space. A new and exclusive relationship between a state and a colony required an ideological basis, conceptually turning tropical territories into “no man’s land” (terra nullius). Th en through judicial declarations of land nationalization, terra nullius became an imaginary national space that had no civilized society, and vast tracts of uncultivated “waste” land fell under colo- nial governance. Th e second process required for the colonial state to realize its national space was actual policy-making with regard to the redistribu- tion of land and the marshaling of labor for cultivation of cash crops and exploitation of natural resources. Land laws, labor ordinances, and immigration acts created a social fi eld where the usufruct of land was distributed to peasants and entrepreneurs. Plural societies, where mul- tiple ethnic groups were mobilized for plantation and mining sectors are typical byproducts of colonial engineering. Th e nationalization of space and the mobilization of labor operated in tandem to make terra nullius a capitalist production site and a mercantile exchange sphere.

  • Routledge Handbook of Asian Borderlands
    Routledge Handbook of Asian Borderlands Edited by Alexander Horstmann, Martin Saxer, and Alessandro Rippa First published 2018 ISBN: 978-1-138-91750-7 (hbk) ISBN: 978-1-315-68897-8 (ebk) 12 Genesis of state space Frontier commodification in Malaysian Borneo Noboru Ishikawa (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) 12 Genesis of state space Frontier commodification in Malaysian Borneo Noboru Ishikawa Introduction How is a border recognized, when spatial demarcation is not obvious, both geographically and geo- morphologically, and the state apparatus for boundary making is functionally weak? What forces, other than border control measures by the state, are at work to demarcate the line in the mental mapping of borderland peoples? To answer these questions, this chapter looks at the historical pro- cess of commodification in the borderland of western Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo as a case in point. The borderland under study has the following three characteristics. First, it has been centrally located in a web of commodity chains linking resource-rich tropics with international markets. Second, the border is inconspicuous: “altitude” and “distance” from any political center are not the crucial factors that make this borderland a distinctively nonstate space (McKinnon and Michaud 2000; Michaud 2008, 2010; Scott 2009). Third, the borderland is a space where the organizational power of the state is nominal, if not nonexistent. In the borderlands, commodification represents a process whereby value is added to products as they move across a territorial boundary. While the state attempts to generate revenue from this process, people do so illicitly. This chapter sees the genesis of the state space and boundary making within the context of long-term processes of frontier commodification, recognizing that non- timber forest produce, timber, rubber, and pepper have functioned as critical linkages connecting local society with regional and global market systems.

  • 3 Evading State Authority | and Secondary Sources Such As Dutch Colonial Records, Other Scholarly Literature and Oral History Collected During and After Fieldwork
    3 Evading state authority The status of borders has been contingent on varying historical circum- stances, rather than being immutably rock-like. Borders shift; they leak; and they hold varying sorts of meaning for different people (Migdal 2004:5). This chapter and the subsequent Chapter 4 are a critical reading of key moments in borderland history, ranging from the latter part of the Dutch colonial period (1850s) to the end of the New Order period of former President Soeharto (1998). An underlying objective is to show the histori- cal development of the Kalimantan Iban as a border people, in particu- lar, the way the borderland, and more specifically the strategies of border inhabitants, have been shaped in relationship to colonial and postcolo- nial states and their regulative border policies. I here demonstrate that states and their borders are not static or permanent structures, separating territories and excluding people as originally intended by colonial state planners, but are the result of dynamic historical processes. The chapters unravel the continuities between these periods, describe the long-term social and economic interactions across the border, and finally discuss the implications of these historic legacies of the past for the consolidation of authority among local border elites. In order to locate the borderland in time, the historical account is di- vided into two chapters, each dealing with a specific period in borderland history (pre- and post-independence). Each period illuminates the ongo- ing ambivalent relationship between local communities and government authority (the Dutch colonial administration or the Indonesians state). The chapters argue that this ambiguity is an outcome of the particulari- ties of life at the border, of being situated between two divergent nation states and of the continuously shifting character of the border.

    .. SIAM AND SIR JAMES BROOKE by 9\ficholas 79arling UniversUy of Queensland B1·isl1ane, A1tstralia "Sir James thoroughly understood that Eastern princes and chiefs at·e at first only influenced by fear; the fear of the consequences which might follow the neglect of the counsels of the protecting State ... " /)''ir r;'penser St. Joltn. The revolutionary impact of economic nncl social ch::mge in Southeast Asia in the nineteenth centmy was intensified by tho simnlt.aneous remodelling of its political map. 1'he frontiel'S of Sium were indeed moclitieu, and it.s old-fashioned imperial chims witlely displaced, but its economic and social history wal:! pl'ofnnndly affected by the fact that, alone ttmong South-east Asian powers, this kingrlom rettcined its political independenee. The explann.tion o:E this lies, on the one hand, in the attitude of the Siamese ruling-groups, nnd, on the other hand, in the policies of Great Britain, the predominant po\ver in the area, and a survey of Anglo-Siamese relations is essential to an understanding of modem Siam. In this survey, the mission to 13anglw1{ of Sir James Brool\e should hold a crucial place, since its failure pro­ duced a crisis in these relations, the prompt resolution of which re-establislwd them on a new basis and largely determined their fntnre course. 1'he conquering advance of the East India Company in India hom the late eightel'lDth centnry onwards aroused concern among the Siamese, who feared lest the ambitious Bl'itish extended their activities to the lndo.Ohincse peninsula.

I use the ethnographic method to study this ethnic group. Specifically, I based this ethnography of communication on two texts told by twenty-four people, who all belong to the community of practice of Keluarga Church. The study is divided into two broad areas. Part of the thesis is more synchronic linguistics, and describes the lexicon, phonology and morphology of Sebuyau. The conclusion is that Sebuyau is a variety of Iban. The lexicon exhibits considerable borrowing from languages that are no longer spoken in the area – such as Sanskrit.
