Early American History Hume and Allied Families Early American History Hume and Allied Families William Everett Brockman Compiler and Publisher Minneapolis, Minn. 1926 Copyright 1926 By William Everett Brockman INTRODUCTION .a'hose who have made a study of my book, the "Hume, Kennedy, Brockman and Allied Families," can well appreciate the need for this revised edi­ tion. Ever since the "first book appeared in print I have had a strong desire to correct a few of the most glaring inaccuracies-not that this edition is entirely free from errors, but I have tried hard to make each statement authoritative and when pos­ sible quoted its source. Without the assistance of Dr. Erskine Hume, Mrs. Linda Kennedy Wine, Dr. John R. Hume, author of the "Hume Family" (1903), Mrs. Thomas W. Cooke and others, this volume would not have appeared. If you feel ap­ preciative please thank these men and women who have really been responsible for the actual work of gathering records and reading proof. I have acted largely as a, Clearing house and except for the expenditure of some fifteen hundred dollars on the work, have done very little else. Respectfully submitted, W. E. BROCKMAN, Compiler and Publisher. I IUME OF WEDDERBURN INTRODUCTION TO HUME FAMILY Of the family of Dunbar, from which the Humes sprang, Douglas, in his !'Peerage of Scotland," remarks: "No sur­ name in Scotland can boast of a more noble origin than that of Dunbar, being descended from the Saxon Kings of England and the Princes and Earls of Northumberland. The family has furnished Earls of Northumberland, Dunbar, March, Marchmont, Hume and Zetland; Viscounts of Blasonberrie and Melville; Barons Melrose, Hume, Polwarth, Redbraies, Greenlaw, Dunglas and Dundas; Baronets, Knights of the Garter and Thistle, Privy Counselors, Ambassadors, Envoys, Lord High Chancellor of Scotland, Judge Archbishops and Bishops, Joint Regents of Scotland; Duchess of Lauderdale, Countess of Dunbar, Douglass, two of Crawford, Moray, Sutherland, Huntley, Fitzwilliam, Suffolk, Ely, Findlater, Arran, Marshall, Hume, Stair and Bute; Viscountess Dun­ can; Baroness Dalkeith, Seton, Crichton, Torpichen, Ers­ kine, Polwarth, Bagany and Lovat.'' The Humes are the eldest cadets of the family of Dunbar, the main line of which is now extinct. Hume Castle is one of the most conspicuous forts in the Merse. This ancient stronghold, erected on an eminence which overlooks all sur­ rounding country, kept its eye, as it were, not only over the neighboring lands, but also on the seacoast and across the Tweed into England for a long distance, and seemed to indi­ cate that it was sentinel for interests far and wide. Here, for long, was the residence of the main line of the Hume ( or Home) family, which early rose to eminence in the polit­ ical life of Scotland, being ennobled as Lords, and afterwards as Earls of Hume. It is still represented in the main line by the present Earl of Hume. , The Humes of Wedderburn are the eldest cadets of the family of Hume. They may also be said to be more prolific, more so even than the parent stem, both in offshoots and in honors. Among their descendants are to be enumerated the 8 THE HUME FAMILY Humes of Polwarth, ennobled first as Lords of Polwarth in 1690, and as Earls of Marchmont in 1697; the Humes of Manderston, of whom a younger son, George Hume of Spot, sometime Treasurer of Scotland, was ennobled as Lord Berwick, and afterwards as Earl of Dunbar (the ancient line of these Earls being extinct) ; while two of his daugh­ ters and heiresses, the elder, Anne, was mother of the Third Earl of Hume, and the younger, Elizabeth, was wife of Theo­ pilus Howard, Lord Walden, afterwards second Earl of Suf­ folk. From Wedderburn also descended the Humes of Black­ adder, Baronets of Nova Scotia, from whom Sir David Hume, Lord Crossrig, is derived; also Sir John Hume of Renton, Lord Justice Clerk, in the reign of King Charles II; the Humes of Castle Hume, in Ireland, and other families of distinction and note. In America the family has fur­ nished officers in every war fought by the Colonies or by the United States. For centuries the Humes of Wedderburn were one of the most dominant families of the Merse. Scions of a war­ like house and posted on the border as if for the very pur­ pose of guarding the "in country" against the incursions of the "auld inimies of England," they were ever ready to venture their lives in the fray, and indeed they had their full share of the fights and forays of the border strife of old. Few of the older Lairds are known to have had any other death-bed than the battlefield, and their first funeral shroud was generally the banner under which they led their retainers to the fight, and which has come down to their descendants stained with their blood. (From "The Report to Parliament on the Manuscripts of Col. David Milne-Home, of Wedderburn Castle.") This sketch and much of that to follow-has been prepared from the following sources: The History of the House of Wedderburn, written in Latin in 1611 by David Hume of Godscroft (the translation of the work exists only in manuscript form) ; Histories of Noble British Families, Vol. 2, by William Drummond, of London; The Peerage of Scotland, by Sir James Balfour Paul; The Scots Peerage, by Douglas; The Historical Man- THE HUME FAMILY 9 uscripts Commission's Report on the Manuscripts of Col. David Milne-Home, of Wedderburn Castle; The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography ; The William and Mary College Quarterly; Collins' History of Kentucky. The Armorial Bearings of the Humes of Wedderburn are: Arms: Quarterly first and fourth, vert a lion rampart argent, armed and langued gules, for Hume. Second, argent three papingoes vert armed and membered gules, for Pepdie. Third, argent a, cross engraied azure, for Sinclair. Crest: A unicorn's head argent gorged with an imperial crown proper, horned and maned or. Supporters: Two falcons proper armed and membered gules. Mottoes: "True to the End" and "Remember." TRADITION OF THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME "HUME" William, grandson of Gospatrick, fourth Earl of Dunbar, married Ada, daughter of Patrick, Earl of Dunbar. A certain man named Philipp, holding both the king and law at defiance, headed a numerous troop of robbers, who lurked in the wood nearby and could not be taken. William, son of the Earl of Dunbar, having one day met this robber chief, slew him and carried his head to the Earl. The King for this action gave him the lands where he made his home. William was "Dominus de Hom," or master, of the lands which were his home. From this, says tradition, originated the lands of Home or Hume. lorn in Celtic, means a hill, of which Ihom is the genitive, in the pronunciation of which the I is mute. The final "e" in Home was added later. SCOTTISH KINGS FROM WHICH THE HUME FAMILY SPRANG Kenneth I, reigned from 850 to 860 ; Donald, reigned from 860 to 861; Constantine I, son of Kenneth I, reigned from 864 to 867; was succeeded by his brother; Donald, son of Constantine I, reigned from 889 to 900 ; was succeeded by Constantine II, son of Atleh, who reigned 42 years; Mal- 10 THE HUME FAMILY colm I, son of Donald, reigned from 942 to 954; Indulph, son of Constantine II, reigned from 954 to 962; Dubh, son of Malcolm I, reigned from 962 to 967; Cuilean, son of Indulph, reigned from 967 to 971; Kenneth II, son of Mal­ colm I, reigned from 971 to 995 ; Constantine III, son of Cuilean, reigned from 995 to 997; Kenneth III, son of Dubh, reigned from 997 to 1004; Malcolm II, son of Kenneth II, reigned from 1005 to 1034; he was ancestor of Humes and grandson of Malcolm II; was killed by Macbeth (see Shake­ speare); he reigned from 1034 to 1040. (Macbeth did not live long in his victim's chair, but was slain by Malcolm, son of Duncan I, in 1057.) BEGINNING OF THE HUME FAMILY Malcolm II, King of Scotland Ethelred the Unready, King of England Malcolm II, King of Scotland, 1005-1034 A. D., had one child, Bethoc, who married Crinan, Lay Abbott of Dunkeld. To this union were born two children: Duncan, King of Scotland, 1034-1040; and Maldred, who married Aldgatha, daughter of Uchtred, and granddaughter of King Ethelred, of England. Egbert was the first King of United England, A. D. 827- 828. His second son, Alfred, known in history as Alfred the Great, was later King of England. Egbert was a direct an­ cestor of Ethelred the Unready, King of England, A. D. 968-1013. In the year 1002 he married Emma, the sister of Richard, Duke of Normandy, a lady who was known as the "Flower of Normandy." He was the last of the six early Saxon kings. Elgiva, the fifth child of Ethelred, married Uchtred, Prince of Northumberland. Their daughter, Ald­ gatha married Maldred, grandson of Malcolm II, King of Scotland. From these two royal houses sprang the Hume family. Maldredus, a son of Malcolm II and Edith, and his wife Ald­ ga tha had one son, Cospatrick, Earl of Northumberland, who fought at the battle of Hastings, and who was the first Baron of Dunbar, and ancestor of the Barons of THE HUME FAMILY 11 Hume. He died in 1081. His second son, Cospatrick II, was the first Earl of Dunbar, and Baron of Hume. He died in 1139, and was succeeded by his son, Cospatrick III, second Earl of Dunbar, and Baron Hume, who married Ada, daughter of King William the Lion.

Assessments of the early nineteenth-century Church of England remain coloured by a critique originating in radical anti-clerical polemics of the period and reinforced by the writings of the Tractarians and Élie Halévy. It is often assumed that, in consequence of social and political change, the influence of a complacent and reactionary church was irreparably eroded by 1830.

  • Radical Menace, Reforming Hope: Scotland and English Religious Politics, 1586–1596
    Radical Menace, Reforming Hope: Scotland and English Religious Politics, 1586–1596 paul mcginnis California State University, Sacramento arthur williamson California State University, Sacramento Durant la fin des années 1580 et au début des années 1590, Jacques VI d’Écosse a adhéré sans équivoque à la Réforme. En se pénétrant de l’eschatologie protes- tante, en formant une alliance avec les presbytériens écossais, et en promouvant la réforme à la fois dans son royaume et à l’étranger, le roi fit de l’Écosse un phare de la Réforme. Simultanément, Jacques et ses nouveaux alliés — notam- ment Andrew Melville — ont vigoureusement favorisé une vision apocalyptique d’une Bretagne protestante unie. En conséquence, l’Écosse surgit comme jamais auparavant dans la politique religieuse tendue de l’Angleterre. Le débat sur la continuation de la Réforme s’est donc transformé en un débat au sujet de l’Écosse et de l’avenir post-élisabéthain anglais. Les conservateurs religieux anglais, tels que John Whitgift et Richard Bancroft, sérieusement alarmés, a lancé une cam- pagne pour bloquer la succession Stuart ou au moins l’éventualité d’une union de la Bretagne. Cette campagne s’est manifestée dans les sermons et les traités de théologie et jusque dans la nouvelle littérature populaire de masse. Ce faisant, les conservateurs anglais ont créé des caricatures des écossais (en lien avec les caricatures des puritains, des ramistes et des juifs) qui ont par la suite déterminé et troublé les relations anglo-écossaise loin dans le dix-septième siècle et bien après. Radical Scotland he later 1580s saw Scotland’s James VI striving to secure his Protestant Treputation and to promote himself as a significant leader in the European confessional conflict.

  • SCOTLAND, ELIZABETHAN ENGLAND and the IDEA of BRITAIN by Roger A
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by St Andrews Research Repository Transactions of the RHS (), pp. – C Royal Historical Society DOI: ./S Printed in the United Kingdom SCOTLAND, ELIZABETHAN ENGLAND AND THE IDEA OF BRITAIN By Roger A. Mason ABSTRACT. This paper explores aspects of Anglo-Scottish relations in Elizabeth’s reign with particular emphasis on the idea of dynastic union and the creation of a Protestant British kingdom. It begins by examining the legacy of pre-Elizabethan ideas of Britain and the extent to which Elizabeth and her government sought to realise the vision of a Protestant and imperial British kingdom first articulated in the late s. It then focuses on the issues arising from the deposition of Mary Queen of Scots and her long captivity in England. The dynastic implications of Mary’s execution in are highlighted and it is argued that Elizabeth’s policy towards James VI and Scotland betrays little or no interest in developing a truly British agenda. It is probably not in the best of taste, on an occasion such as this, to introduce to the proceedings such an unwelcome guest as Mary Queen of Scots. Yet no commemoration of Elizabeth and Elizabethan England would be complete without the haunting spectre of the Tudor queen’s cousin, dynastic rival and near-nemesis. Certainly no consideration of contemporary Anglo-Scottish relations and the idea of a united British kingdom can afford to ignore her. For nearly three decades, two-thirds of Elizabeth’s forty-five-year reign, Mary Stewart not only cast a threatening shadow over the Elizabethan regime but also hugely complicated English attitudes to Scotland and Scottish attitudes to England.

    Arthur Williamson IRSS 36 (2011) 7 THE RISE AND DECLINE OF THE BRITISH “PATRIOT”: CIVIC BRITAIN, C.1545-1605 Arthur Williamson* In 1586 David Hume of Godscroft recorded (and no doubt embellished) a dialogue that he had with his patron Archibald Douglas, the 8th earl of Angus. Both men were about thirty, Hume the rising intellectual star of the Presbyterian movement, Angus its political powerhouse, by far the mightiest and the most committed of the radical lords. For several years Hume had served as Angus’ amanuensis, preceptor, companion. Together they had returned from exile in England shortly before, as part of a coup d’etat that overthrew the conservative regime of James Stewart, earl of Arran, and Patrick Adamson, archbishop of St. Andrews. The dialogue argued that it would not do simply to be restored to one’s estates and earlier status. For the “good patriot” bore a far greater responsibility: participating actively in political decisions, protecting liberty, promoting the “publick cause.” “Activenesse” was required. One needed to restrain particular interests, personal preoccupations, and private passions, and direct oneself to common purposes and society as a whole. That responsibility, the dialogue further insisted, could extend to revolution – as in fact had just happened. “Tyrants will call a good patriot, a seditious fellow.”1 Hume’s dialogue provides one of the earliest instances of the Anglophone neologism “patriot” used to describe a * Arthur Williamson is Professor of History at California State University, Sacramento. His most recent book is Apocalypse Then: Prophecy and the Making of the Modern World (Greenwood-Praeger, 2008).
