Whitlock Family Newsletter ISSN:0835:6734 WHITLOCK FAMILY NEWSLETTER 47644 Forester Road Subscription $20 ($25/£16 International) Tel:604/824-7450 Vol.35 No.3 Chilliwack, B.C. per annum renewable January 1st Email:[email protected] Sep 2016 CANADA V2R 4M6 Published Mar.Jun.Sep.& Dec. Page 1 Website:http://www.whitlockfamilyassociation.com Another issue of the Newsletter with details of the latest break through in our research. The discovery of proof of a connection we have sought for more that forty years! The article on Colonel Bulstrode Liddiard Whitelocke starts with his Will of 1822 which names his only son Robert Heriot Whitelocke who, in 1860 published the Memoirs Bulstrode Whitelocke (1605-1675). We have known for years that Robert’s father was Bulstrode and that Bulstrode had a brother John and that they were likely part of the WHITLOCK02H family but the place they showed on this family had never made sense as the dates did not fit and there were several generations missing between the brothers Bulstrode and John and the person shown as their father. The article details how we found proof Colonel Bulstrode Whitelocke was the brother of General John Whitelocke (1758-1833) and they were both sons of John Whitelocke and Sarah Liddiard. News travels fast and I heard from several descendants happy with finally having a clear and proven line of descent from John Whitloke and Agnes delaBeche. While on the theme of Bulstrode Whitlocks, I included the 1732 Will of Colonel Whitelocke’s great uncle Bulstrode Whitelocke (1678-1737) as the Colonel’s father John Whitelocke was one of the executors and legatees named in this Will. I recently came across the Freedom of Admission Papers 1681-1925 on Ancestry. These relate to status as a Freemen of London and in most cases these records are the original London apprenticeship records. I have included articles in this issue on how useful these documents can be in connecting London families together. (R4106) See articles on Robert Whitlock, Apprentice 1768 and Using London Guild Records. One of the unusual items I received recently from John Phillips is the Parliamentary debates in 1822 on Amendments to the Marriage Act. One of the cases mentioned as a reason for the required amendments is the annulment of the marriage of Harriet Whitelocke and Thomas Stangeways Horner in 1799 due to his wife being under age at the time of their marriage in 1796 and because she was illegitimate it was deemed “parental” consent had not been given as only her natural mother had given consent. Harriet’s father had acknowledged her in his 1787 Will and left her a portion of his estate in the care of her mother as his executor but no guardian was ever legally appointed. (R4104) Until the Marriage Act was amended illegitimate minors could get married with their mother’s permission but the law did not recognize the mother’s permission unless the child’s legal guardian also consented. This loophole in the Marriage Act allowed many husbands to annul their marriages to an illegitimate minor. Harriet was a sister to the above Col. Bulstrode Whitelocke and his brother General John Whitelocke. I came across an item on familypedia.com relating to the ancestors of American President George Walker Bush. President Bush is a three time Whitlock descendant, twice through his mother Barbara Pierce and once through his father President George Bush. His parents were distant cousins to each other. Barbara (Pierce) Bush descends from both Hannah Whitlock who married Joseph Baldwin (WHITLOCK31) and Rose Whitlock who married Abraham Parker (WHITLOCK24). Barbara’s husband President George Bush also descends from Rose Whitlock who married Abraham Parker through the same Pierce family. Our Whitlock DNA project continues to yield interesting information. We received results from a distant Whitelock cousin of mine that matched the previous two results and confirmed the WHITLOCK01 family’s Norse ancestry. Judith Wilson wrote recently that her part of the family has done several autosomal DNA tests as there is no male Whitlocks available in the WHITLOCK37 family to test. Several of these tests show connections to descendants of John & Grizel (Coleman) Whitlock of the WHITLOCK33 family. This was expected as Francis Whitlock who heads the WHITLOCK37 family is very likely connected to the same Goochland Co., Virginia Whitlocks. After returning home I took advantage of Family Tree DNA’s Summer Sale and sent for my Family Finder DNA test kit. I still only have the one match for YDNA. Our trip to Little Rock, Arkansas and Springfield, Missouri was very enjoyable and it was great to see family and friends all across the country. Unfortunately the visit to the Mt. Comfort Cemetery in Springfield, Missouri only confirmed that Mary (Ponsonbay) Whitlock (1774-1843)’s gravestone is so badly worn that the only word readable is “Whitlock”. I could make out a couple of other letters but that was it. Hopefully somewhere in the church records or archives is a transcription from a time before 173 years of weather took its toll. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and that you find this issue of the Newsletter of interest. Whitlock Family Newsletter Vol.35 No.3 Sep 2016 Page 2 MISCELLANEOUS X7858 2 Sallie N.

  • The Church Act
    The Church Act: The expansion of Christianity or the imposition of moral enlightenment? David Stoneman A Thesis submitted as fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of New England, Australia, 2011. Abstract The Church Act (1836) redefined and reinvigorated the religious environment in the emerging British colony of New South Wales, which profoundly impacted on its social and political development in a period of rapid population growth. It was a popular measure that has seen Governor Richard Bourke, its principal architect, be remembered as a provider of religious freedom. The simple motivation of the Act to expand Christianity and therefore morality has been complicated by the assertion that it assisted the expansion of a ‘new faith’ called moral enlightenment. This changes the implication of the Act and redefines the motives of the people responsible for its introduction, especially Bourke, by assuming that secular Enlightenment principles overrode Christian objectives. This has provided an ideological superstructure that has been used by some nationalist historians to present a picture of New South Wales colonial life that was fundamentally irreligious verging on atheistic. This has served to diminish the importance of religious thought and belief in the early development of Australia. This thesis argues that the Church Act was conceived to counter various forms of alternative belief and synchronised Christianity, ranging from plebeian ‘folk religion’ to heterodoxical, intellectual Protestantism. It encouraged orthodox Christianity by financially supporting the denominations that had cultural as well as spiritual connections to the majority of the population. The thesis concludes that the Church Act should be categorised as being a product of the ‘Age of Atonement’ not the imposition of moral enlightenment.

  • Recording, Reporting and Printing the Cromwellian 'Kingship Debates'
    1 Recording, Reporting and Printing the Cromwellian ‘Kingship Debates’ of 1657. Summary: This article explores the problem of recovering early modern utterances by focusing upon the issue of how the ‘kingship debates’ of 1657 between Oliver Cromwell and a committee of ninety-nine MPs came to be recorded, reported and printed. Specifically, it investigates the two key records of the kingship debates which, despite being well known to scholars, have extremely shady origins. Not only does this article demonstrate the probable origins of both sources, by identifying the previously unknown scribe of one of them it also points to the possible relationship between the two. It also questions whether the nature of the surviving sources has exacerbated certain interpretations about the kingship debates and their outcome. To hear Oliver Cromwell speak could be an infuriating experience. Those members of the committee of ninety-nine MPs that filed out of Whitehall on 20 April 1657, after their fourth meeting with Cromwell in little over a week, would certainly have thought so. Appointed by the second Protectorate Parliament to convince him to accept their offer of kingship, the members of the committee hoped for a direct and positive answer from the Lord Protector. They had none. According to the parliament’s diarist, and member of the committee, Thomas Burton, they received from Cromwell ‘nothing but a dark speech, more promiscuous then before’ and returned thoroughly ‘unsatisfyed’.1 Historians of the Protectorate must share Burton’s frustrations in their struggle to penetrate Cromwell’s utterances. Yet, while Burton and his fellow MPs had the pleasure (or agony) of listening to Cromwell directly the historian must work from what are, at best, ear-witness accounts.

  • Treason and the State: Law, Politics, and Ideology in the English Civil War D
    This page intentionally left blank Treason and the State This study traces the transition of treason from a personal crime against the monarch to a modern crime against the impersonal state. It consists of four highly detailed case studies of major state treason trials in England beginning with that of Thomas Wentworth, First Earl of Strafford, in the spring of 1641 and ending with that of Charles Stuart, King of England, in January 1649. The book examines how these trials constituted practical contexts in which ideas of statehood and public authority legitimated courses of political action that might ordi- narily be considered unlawful – or at least not within the compass of the foundational statute of 25 Edward III. The ensuing narrative reveals how the events of the 1640s in England challenged existing conceptions of treason as a personal crime against the king, his family and his servants, and pushed the ascendant parliamentarian faction toward embracing an impersonal conception of the state that perceived public authority as completely independent of any individual or group. d. alan orr was educated at Queen’s University at Kingston, the University of Glasgow and the University of Cambridge, where he received his Ph.D. in 1997.

  • Woman's Work in the Service of Empire: Lady Margaret Field (1905-94) from School Teacher to Governor's Wife
    1 Woman’s work in the service of empire: Lady Margaret Field (1905-94) from school teacher to governor’s wife The presence of single and also of married British women in overseas colonies, especially those employed by or married to men in the Colonial Service in the later colonial period, has been the subject of scholarly enquiry. Their lives, roles and values and their distinctive contribution, if any, to the development of empire and of its ending have been debated. Their gendered roles were usually subordinate in a masculine culture of empire, and especially as wives they are commonly regarded as marginalised. The archived records left by Lady Margaret Field reveal her commitment as a single woman to a colonial mission and her sense of achievement as a school teacher and educational administrator, while also acknowledging the independence and career satisfactions she subsequently lost when she married a senior Colonial Service officer who rose to be a governor. But it is also apparent that though incorporated and subordinate as a governor’s wife to her husband’s career she was not marginalised to a separate sphere. As is evident from this case study, governors’ wives had important and demanding political duties, and such responsibilities need to be acknowledged. I It is now some years since the conceptualisation of Britain’s empire as an enterprise created and solely managed by white men and expressing the masculine values of the western male was first challenged. The presence of British women in overseas colonies is now more certainly

In spite of the warnings of Sir Charles Firth and, more recently, Ronald Hutton, many historical assessments of the role played by intelligence-gathering continue to rely upon the pronouncements made by the great Royalist historian Sir Edward Hyde, earl of Clarendon, in his History of the Rebellion. Yet the overwhelming evidence of the contemporary sources shows clearly that intelligence information did, in fact, play a major part in deciding the outcome of the key battles that determined the outcome of the Civil War itself.
