H 1 THE NEW HAMPSHIRE GENEALOGICAL RECORD. Vol. IV. Dover, N. H., January, 1907. No. 1. THE TRAILL AND SPENCE FAMILIES OF PORTSMOUTH, N. H. By Capt. Geo. A. Gordon, Genealogist of the N. H. Society of Colonial Wars. The forbears of the Traill and Spence families have been long established in the Orkneys, a group of islands in the North Sea off the coast of the extreme northern point of Scotland. Anderson, in Q-enealogy and Surnames, (Edin- burgh, 1885), asserts that the name Traill was originally Tyrrell. Fordun's Scottish Chronicle, a reputable authority, says the Bishop of St. Andrews, Scotland, A. D. 1385-1406, spelled his name Walterus Treyl. A nephew of the Bishop, Sir Thomas Treyl, was victor in a tournament at Berwick, in the reign of Robert III, 1390-1406. Robert Keith's Cata- logue of Scottish Bishops, (Edinburgh 1824), declares Bishop Treyl to have belonged to the house of Blebo, Fifeshire. Sir James Balfour's Ms., (London 1724), says the Bishop purchas- ed the lands of Blebo and transmitted them to his posterity. Alexander Trail, of Blebo, nourished A. D. 1564-1583; after whom occur three John Trails, in succession, to 1622. In 1567, this entry is made in the family history, "About this time, two of the younger sons of the house of Blebo went to the Orkneys." The family, seated hi Fifeshire, commonly write the name, Treil; while their kinsmen in the Orkneys invariably write, Traill. Alexander der Traill, of Blebo, was a subscriber to the bond in defence of King James VI, in 1567. ARMS: Nisbet's Heraldry, quoting the Lyon register, says: The crest of the Trails of Blebo is a column set in the sea, 2 TRAILL FAMILY. This and proper, with the motto, Discrimine solus. crest motto date from 1418, when an Alexander Trail, being ship- wrecked, was saved by clinging to a rock in the surf. The arms of the first Trail of Blebo, nephew of the Bishop of St. Andrew, are given: Azure; a chrevron between two niascles, in chief, or; and a trefoil, slipped, in base, within a bordure waved, urgent. The Orkney families have similar blazon. The seal of Walter Trayl, Bishop of St. Andrews, exhibits the same shield, supported by two lions. James Trayle seals with a similar device, 1467, and like- wise John Traill, baillie of St. Andrews, 1523. Sir Robert Stewart, of Strathdon, a natural son of King James V, by Euphemia Elphinstone, a daughter of Alexan- der, (the first Lord Elphinstone, slain at Flodden, 1513), and wife to John Bruce, of Cultmalindie, received a grant from his half sister, Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1565, of vacant crown lands in the Orkneys. In 1581, Sir Robert Stewart was created Earl of Orkney, by King James VI. His son, John, was created, 1633, Earl of Carrick. Robert Stewart, of Strathdon, married Janet Kennedy, a sister of Gilbert, fourth Earl of Cassilis, d. 1576, whose wife (m. 1566) was Margaret Lyon, a daughter of John, ninth Lord Glammis, d. 1553. She married (2) John Hamilton, first Marquis, who died 1604. She died, twice widowed, in 1616. 1. Geoege 1 Teaill, a son of Alexander Traill of Blebo, Fifeshire, married Janet Kennedy, of Carmunks, a great- granddaughter of the second Earl of Cassilis, who was the vic- tim of a murderous assault, in 1527. She was a kinswoman of Sir Robert Stewart's wife and accompanied them to the Orkneys. George Traill settled on the island of Rousay, at Quarndal, about A. D. 1580. (See Bell's Life of Q. Mary).

  • Bede's Ecclesiastical History of England a Revised
    BEDE'S ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY OF ENGLAND A REVISED TRANSLATION WITH INTRODUCTION, LIFE, AND NOTES BY A. M. SELLAR LATE VICE-PRINCIPAL OF LADY MARGARET HALL, OXFORD LONDON GEORGE BELL AND SONS 1907 EDITOR'S PREFACE The English version of the "Ecclesiastical History" in the following pages is a revision of the translation of Dr. Giles, which is itself a revision of the earlier rendering of Stevens. In the present edition very considerable alterations have been made, but the work of Dr. Giles remains the basis of the translation. The Latin text used throughout is Mr. Plummer's. Since the edition of Dr. Giles appeared in 1842, so much fresh work on the subject has been done, and recent research has brought so many new facts to light, that it has been found necessary to rewrite the notes almost entirely, and to add a new introduction. After the appearance of Mr. Plummer's edition of the Historical Works of Bede, it might seem superfluous, for the present at least, to write any notes at all on the "Ecclesiastical History." The present volume, however, is intended to fulfil a different and much humbler function. There has been no attempt at any original work, and no new theories are advanced. The object of the book is merely to present in a short and convenient form the substance of the views held by trustworthy authorities, and it is hoped that it may be found useful by those students who have either no time or no inclination to deal with more important works. Among the books of which most use has been made, are Mr.

  • Penhallow's Indian Wars Seems to Have Been Predestined to Become a Scarce Book
    PENH ALLOWS INDIAN WARS A Facsimile Reprint of the First Edition, Printed in Boston in 1726 With the Notes of Earlier Editors and Additions from the Original Manuscript Notes, Index and Introduction by EDWARD WHEELOCK BOSTON 1924 no."/ The edition of this reprint is limited to 250 copies Introduction Penhallow's History of the Indian Wars is one of the rarest books of its class. When it first appeared it doubtless was read by some who may have been able to recall the setting up of the first printing press in New England; to most of its early readers the impressions of that first press were familiar objects. Though we may thus associate the book with the earliest of New England imprints, its age alone does not account for the scarcity of surviving copies, for many older books are more common. Its disappearance seems better explained by the fact that matters concerning the Indians were, excepting possibly religious controversies, of the greatest interest to the readers of that time and that such books as these were literally read to pieces; they were issued moreover in only small editions for relatively few readers, as there were probably not 175,000 people in the New England Colonies in 1726. Here, moreover, the facilities for the preserva- tion of printed matter were in general poor; too often in the outlying settlements the leaky cup- board was the library and the hearth with its flickering pine knot was the study. At the writer's elbow lies a copy of Penhallow's rare History, the mutilated survivor of a fireplace ii INTRODUCTION.

Periodically I was tossed around by tempestuous waves. But two beacons always pointed me to quiet harbors where I gained valuable insights, developed new perspectives, and acquired new momentum. My advisor and mentor, Josh Piker, has been incredibly generous with his time, ideas, advice, and encouragement. His constructive critique of my thoughts, methodology, and writing (I never realized I was prone to so many split infinitives and unclear antecedents) was a tremendous help to a graduate student beginning his career. In more ways than he probably knows, he remains for me an exemplar of the professional historian I hope to become. And as a barbecue connoisseur, he is particularly worthy of deference and emulation.

  • RIVERS, ENERGY, and the REMAKING of COLONIAL NEW ENGLAND by ZACHARY M
    FLOWING POWER: RIVERS, ENERGY, AND THE REMAKING OF COLONIAL NEW ENGLAND By ZACHARY M. BENNETT A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History Written under the direction of James Delbourgo And approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Flowing Power: Rivers, Energy, and the Remaking of Colonial New England by Zachary M. Bennett Dissertation Director: James Delbourgo This dissertation considers how river energy was a source of authority in colonial New England. The caloric, kinetic, and mechanical energy people derived from rivers was necessary for survival in New England’s forbidding environment. During the initial stages of colonization, both Europeans and Indians struggled to secure strategic positions on waterways because they were the only routes capable of accommodating trade from the coast to the interior. European and Native peoples came into conflict by the late seventeenth century as they overextended the resource base. Exerting dominion in the ensuing wars on New England’s frontiers was directly tied to securing strategic river spaces since the masters of these places determined the flow of communication and food for the surrounding territory. Following British military conquest, colonists aggressively dammed rivers to satisfy the energy demands of their growing population. These dams eviscerated fish runs, shunting access to waterpower away from Native Americans and yeoman farmers. The transformation of New England’s hydrology was a critical factor in the dispossession indigenous peoples before the Revolution and essential in laying the legal groundwork for the region’s industrial future.

  • The Medieval Officials-Principal of Rochester
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 53 1940 THE MEDIEVAL OFFICIALS-PRINCIPAL OF ROCHESTER. BY THE KEV. A. L. BKOWNE, M.A. INTRODUCTION. OP the ecclesiastical conditions that brought these officers into being Neander is informative. " In the course of the twelfth century," he writes, " the bishops (of Western Christendom) empowered proxies in the administration of their jurisdiction, under the name officiales to preserve their authority against archidiaconal encroachment." (Church History VII, 284, ed. 1851.) That the innovation answered its primary purpose can be admitted, but on the other hand it incidentally provided a whip for lashing laymen and clerics suspected of or charged with breaches of canon law. And the strictures passed on the administrative iniquities of these officers, at any rate on the Continent, by Peter of Blois1 are sufficiently pertinent for quotation : " Tota officialis intentio est, ut ad opus episcopi suae jurisdictioni commissas miserimas oves quasi vice illius tondeat, emungat, excoriet. Isti sunt episcoporum sanguisugae" (Ep. 25). This, epitomized, may be rendered :—These officials are employed to shear the wretched sheep within their jurisdiction; they are the bloodsuckers for the bishops. Be this as it may, one hesitates to believe that the enormities to which the writer refers could ever have obtained on an equal scale in the freer atmosphere of England, and where judgments given in a Consistory Court were subject to revision or disallowance on appeal to a bishop in person. As a matter of fact the bishop who appointed could also dismiss his Official, unless the Cathedral Chapter had confirmed the appointment, when it became a benefice and thereby tenable for life.
