New York Painting Begins: Eighteenth-Century Portraits at the New-York Historical Society the New-York Historical Society Holds
New York Painting Begins: Eighteenth-Century Portraits at the New-York Historical Society The New-York Historical Society holds one of the nation’s premiere collections of eighteenth-century American portraits. During this formative century a small group of native-born painters and European émigrés created images that represent a broad swath of elite colonial New York society -- landowners and tradesmen, and later Revolutionaries and Loyalists -- while reflecting the area’s Dutch roots and its strong ties with England. In the past these paintings were valued for their insights into the lives of the sitters, and they include distinguished New Yorkers who played leading roles in its history. However, the focus here is placed on the paintings themselves and their own histories as domestic objects, often passed through generations of family members. They are encoded with social signals, conveyed through dress, pose, and background devices. Eighteenth-century viewers would have easily understood their meanings, but they are often unfamiliar to twenty-first century eyes. These works raise many questions, and given the sparse documentation from the period, not all of them can be definitively answered: why were these paintings made, and who were the artists who made them? How did they learn their craft? How were the paintings displayed? How has their appearance changed over time, and why? And how did they make their way to the Historical Society? The state of knowledge about these paintings has evolved over time, and continues to do so as new discoveries are made. This exhibition does not provide final answers, but presents what is currently known, and invites the viewer to share the sense of mystery and discovery that accompanies the study of these fascinating works. -

Major Francis Wright
Major Francis Wright, son, John Wright I, and grandson, John Wright II Summary by Michelle Fansler written 28 May 2019 using source: Tyler's Quarterly Historical and Genealogical Magazine Vol. 4 No. 8 January, 1923 “The Washington-Wright Connection and Some Descendants of Major Francis and Anne (Washington) Wright” by Charles Arthur Hoppin https://books.google.com/books?id=BbNYAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_ r&cad=0#v=thumbnail&q&f=false Major Francis Wright (1659-1713, 53 years) Childhood: According to the article written in the link above Francis Wright's father, Richard Wright, died when Francis was less than five years old. His guardian, Nicholas Spencer, who was the Secretary of the Virginia Colony for ten years from 1679-1689 was "second in rank only to the Governor." Francis received an education for the law and visited England with his Uncle Nicholas Spencer. (Francis Wright’s mother, Anne Mottrom Wright, was sister to Frances Mottrom Spencer who married Nicholas Spencer.) Property: When Francis Wright was 18 years old he received 1400 acres fronting the Potomac river and flanked by Nomini bay and Lower Machodoc river where he lived for 35 years making improvements. He started serving as justice of the peace of the county Westmoreland, Virginia around age 24. He married Anne Washington, sister of Lawrence Washington (grandfather of Pres. George Washington). She received an inheritance of 1400 acres also. Character: Francis Wright “was active, influential and comfortable, always appearing in the records as a man who upheld the prestige of his caste and insisted upon his rights; but, as to his service in official positions, he has left evidence of that consideration for others less fortunate than himself which characterizes a true gentleman” (Hoppin 155). -

John Cotton. And almost at the same time Anne Bradstreet was busily at work in Ipswich writing poetry so abun dantly, that John Harvard Ellis, in his large quarto edition of her works, takes over four hundred pages to give them all complete. Ann Hutchinson, for her efforts, was tried, convicted, and like another " Hagar," sent into the wilderness. Anne Bradstreet sent her writings to London, where they were printed, and she was praised and eulogized by the same learned and wise men who prosecuted Ann Hutchinson. -
Transcript of the Trial of Anne Hutchinson (1637)
Transcript of the Trial of Anne Hutchinson (1637) Puritans founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony in hopes of creating a model of Christian unity and order. However, in the 1630s, the Puritans confronted fundamental disagreements over theology. Anne Hutchinson arrived in Boston in 1634 and was a follower of John Cotton, who preached that salvation was achieved by faith alone, not by good works. Such ideas threatened the authority of Massachusetts’ ministers and magistrates. When Hutchinson began to hold meetings to discuss her theological views with other women and with men, Puritan magistrates charged her with heresy. This document is the transcript of her 1637 trial. Gov. John Winthrop: Mrs. Hutchinson, you are called here as one of those that have troubled the peace of the commonwealth and the churches here; you are known to be a woman that hath had a great share in the promoting and divulging of those opinions that are the cause of this trouble, and to be nearly joined not only in affinity and affection with some of those the court had taken notice of and passed censure upon, but you have spoken divers things, as we have been informed, very prejudicial to the honour of the churches and ministers thereof, and you have maintained a meeting and an assembly in your house that hath been condemned by the general assembly as a thing not tolerable nor comely in the sight of God nor fitting for your sex, and notwithstanding that was cried down you have continued the same. Therefore we have thought good to send for you to understand how things are, that if you be in an erroneous way we may reduce you that so you may become a profitable member here among us. -

HJST. survey Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/englishduplicateOOdesc English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr. © 1958, Louis des Cognets, Jr. P.O. Box 163 Princeton, New Jersey This book is dedicated to my grandmother ANNA RUSSELL des COGNETS in memory of the many years she spent writing two genealogies about her Virginia ancestors \ i FOREWORD This book was compiled from material found in the Public Record Office during the summer of 1957. Original reports sent to the Colonial Office from Virginia were first microfilmed, and then transcribed for publication. Some of the penmanship of the early part of the 18th Century was like copper plate, but some was very hard to decipher, and where the same name was often spelled in two different ways on the same page, the task was all the more difficult. May the various lists of pioneer Virginians contained herein aid both genealogists, students of colonial history, and those who make a study of the evolution of names. In this event a part of my debt to other abstracters and compilers will have been paid. Thanks are due the Staff at the Public Record Office for many heavy volumes carried to my desk, and for friendly assistance. Mrs. William Dabney Duke furnished valuable advice based upon her considerable experience in Virginia research. Mrs .Olive Sheridan being acquainted with old English names was especially suited to the secretarial duties she faithfully performed. -
Dutch New York and the Salem Witch Trials: Some New Evidence
Dutch New York and the Salem Witch Trials: Some New Evidence EVAN HAEFELI ISCOVERING new documentation on such a well-studied event as the Salem witch trials is a rare thing. Even rarer Dis contemporary commentary on the trials. Jacob Melyen (i640-1706), a colonial merchant of Dutch origin living in Boston in the summer of 1692, has left us both in the eighty-eight letters copied into his letterbook now located at the American Antiquarian Society. Written mostly in Dutch and concerned pri- marily with his mercantile activity and events in New York, Melyen's letters add to our factual knowledge and illuminate just how troubled many colonists were about what was happening. To help imderstand the significance of the letters and explain why they even exist at all, this essay will outline their context through Melyen's life. It is an important story, joining together the histories of New Netherland, New England, and New York in ways colonial historians often overlook. While there is no evidence that Melyen had any direct involvement in the trials, his letters underscore the vital role New York politics played in this quin- tessentially New England drama.' Given the nature of Melyen's Eor their comments and suggestions on translation and interpretation the author would like to thank Willem Erijhoff, Charles Gehring, Mary Beth Norton, Caroline Sloat, Kevin Sweeney, David William Voorhees, and the anonymous reviewers for this journal. All errors and peculiarities, of course, remain his own. I. Jacob Melyen, Letterbook, 1691-1696, American Antiquarian Society.
