THE PEMBERTON FAMILY. " Lower, in hia Patronymica Britannica," states that the family name of Pemberton is derived from the chapelry of that name in the parish of Wigan, in the hundred of West Derby, county of Lancas- ter, England. The name is common to that county, and the arms* shown beneath the portrait of the Rev. Ebenezer' Pemberton, as published in his collected works, in 1727, are those of a branch of the family in Lancashire, which was established in Cambridgeshire at Trumping- ton by Sir Francis Pembertonf in the last part of the seventeenth century. The family name can be found in Lancashire records as far back as 1300. The Pemberton family of Pennsylvania came from Lancashire. Phineas Pemberton, the son-in-law of James Harrison, agent of William Penn, was a grocer in Boulton-le-Moors, arriving in Amer- " ica in 1682 with his father Ralph Pemberton aged 73.""^ Ralph may have been the second son of Ralph and Frances Pemberton of St. Albans, parents of the future judge &c. Francis Pemberton be- fore mentioned. Francis and Ralph were cousins of the children of John Pemberton of London, who married at St. Thomas, London, 21 January, 1609, Catherine Angell. John and James Pemberton, of New England, may have been children of John and Catherine, though this cannot be positively stated on such scant evidence. The Pembertons of St. Albans, Herts., | bore on their arms 1 and 4 argent a chevron between three buckets sable hooped and handled Or. , which later was modified in the arms of Sir Francis Pemberton Argent a chevron between three buckets sable. Thomas Pemberton (1728-1807), states in a letter, 20 July, 1749, to James Pemberton of Philadelphia, that his great-grand- father James from in while (1622-1696) came Wales, 1680 ; James Pemberton, a grandson of James (1622-1696), and son of James (b. 1651), addresses Israel, the son of Phineas Pemberton, in a letter of 23 June, 1703, as loving cousin, writing with affection and in the quaint style of the Quakers. § * Arms—Argent, a chevron between three buckets sable. t Sir Francis Pemberton, Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench 1680, who presided at the trial of Lord Russell for the Rye House Plot.

A noted surgeon day ; accompanied expedition Canada " t Miss Titcomh, in Early New En.siiand People," states that Dr. Robert Ellis married Elizabeth, the daughter of James and Sarali Peraberton. As their daughter was born in 1657, she was forty-one years of age at tlie time of marriage, fourteen years older than her husband, and sixty-one years old when their youngest child was born in 1718. To support this the will of James Pembertun (1622-1696), dated 12 February, 1695, is given in the same worl<, in which he divides the remainder of his estate equally "among my undernamed children viz. John Joseph Benjamin and Jonathan Pemberton Elizabeth Ellis (this should be Elatson) and Mary Peml)erton." A statement refuting this, an affidavit of George Pemberton (1689-1737), as to the signature of his brother-in-law Dr. Robert Ellis, an- nexed to tlie will of Ann Pollard, may be mentioned. Again, Dr. Robert Ellis makes his good friend and brother-in-law James Pemberton executor with his wife of his will. James, the son of James and Sarah Pemberton, went to Maryland at the ago of nineteen (1670), and settled and died in London some years after, presumably while on a visit and within fifty years of the time he left Boston.

CRAY Abstract: Little known today, the Reverend Thomas Goss (1716–1780) attained notoriety in the late eighteenth century when his parishioners’ efforts to oust him because of alleged intoxication ignited a showdown over clerical authority in the Congregational Church. At stake was the historical identity of the church. Established in the early seventeenth century as a lay-led gathering of churches, the Congregational Church by the eighteenth century was subjected to both the upheavals of the Great Awakening and a countereffort by a professionally centered ministry to create a more centralized governance structure and to increase ministerial prerogatives and overall denominational authority.

Praising the incumbent, John Quincy Adams, the Address proclaims, "It is sufficient to say of him, that talents of the highest order are joined to uncommon attainments... We would ask you to turn from the rantings of demagogues, the bold fictions of an irresponsible press... Is not our country moving on peacefully and prosperously in the great march of improvement?"

The gap in this series, the volume on the clergy of the Middle Colonies, was proving such a great hindrance to our revision of Evans' American Bibliography, that we have decided to print this volume for our own use, and to publish it in order to share it with others. The first volume of this series. The Colonial Clergy and the Colonial Churches of New England (Lancaster, 1936), is out of print. The Colonial Clergy of Maryland, Delaware, and Georgia (Lancaster, 1950), and The Colonial Clergy of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina (Boston, 1955) may be obtained of the author (at Dublin, New Hampshire) for $3 a volume. The institutional data which is provided at the end of the New England volume is for the other colonies issued in a separate volume.

  • Samuel Cooper's Old Sermons and New Enemies: Popery And
    Note: I provide this essay only as background. My panel talk will summarize Protestant Constitutionalism more generally and also argue for its contemporary relevance. Please contact me with questions: [email protected] Samuel Cooper’s Old Sermons and New Enemies: Popery and Protestant Constitutionalism GLENN A. MOOTS ABSTRACT This article reinterprets the role of Protestantism in the American Revolution by examining the unpublished sermon manuscripts of Boston Congregationalist minister Samuel Cooper. Even as late as 1775, Protestant ministers like Cooper identified Protestantism withlibertyandRomanCatholicismwithtyranny.Butthesesameministerseagerlyallied with Catholic France against Protestant Britain in the Revolution. Cooper even redeployed colonial war sermons against his new British foes in the Revolution. The shifting loyalty of ministers like Cooper cannot be explained by mere expediency or secularization of the political elite. Rather, the explanation lies in the evolving nature of transatlantic Protestant constitutionalism—the ongoing association of Protestantism with liberty and the rule of law—over 2 centuries. On March 15, 1775, off-duty British soldiers and Loyalists held a mock town meeting outside the British Coffee House in Boston. They played their opponents to type and concluded with a costumed mock oration performed by Loyalist surgeon Dr. Thomas Bolton. Publication of Bolton’s oration followed, probably printed by a Loyalist printer outside of Boston. Not coincidentally, March 15 also saw the publication of an oration delivered just 9 days earlier— that year’s official annual oration commemorating the Boston Massacre delivered by Dr. Joseph Warren (Akers 1976, 23–25). The roster of commemorative orators since 1771 was a “who’s who” of Patriot leaders: John Hancock, Glenn A.

Inscribing her thoughts in a private devotional journal, Prout acknowledged that her own iniquities had provoked God to chasten her family, and she “begg’d” him to “discover to me wherefore he was so terrible angry with me in taking away all my Children at once.” At the same time, however, she en- visioned her deceased son assuring her that he and his sister This essay began as a conference paper I presented to the American Studies Pro- gram at Indiana University (1996) and subsequently at the twelfth annual meeting of the Mid-America American Studies Association (1996), the annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion (1999), the Young Scholars in American Religion Pro- gram at Indiana University–Purdue University at Indianapolis (2003), the Fall Line Early Americanists reading group (2006), the twelfth annual conference of the Omo- hundro Institute of Early American History and Culture (2008), Hamilton College (2008), and the University of Connecticut Humanities Institute (2008).

This was afterward modified so as to include biographical data, deemed worthy of preservation. The record of students, extended beyond the half-century limit to 1830, the date of the organization of the Teachers' Seminary (at the wish of Principal Bancroft, who was deeply interested in the work), was completed and stereotyped in 1892. Issued now for the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the Academy, sketches of all the Trustees, Principals and Assistant Instructors have been added, together with a list of the " Divinity Students" in Phillips Academy be- fore the founding of the Andover Theological Seminary. Grateful acknowledgment is made to librarians, college statisticians, public registrars and numerous other correspondents for courteous aid rendered during all these years.
