    THE BOOK OF ARMAGH BY THE REV. CANON W.E.C. FLEMING, M.A. SOMETIME INCUMBENT OF TARTARAGHAN AND DIAMOND AND CHANCELLOR OF ARMAGH CATHEDRAL 2013 The eighth and ninth centuries A.D. were an unsettled period in Irish history, the situation being exacerbated by the arrival of the Vikings1 on these shores in 795, only to return again in increasing numbers to plunder and wreak havoc upon many of the church settlements, carrying off and destroying their treasured possessions. Prior to these incursions the country had been subject to a long series of disputes and battles, involving local kings and chieftains, as a result of which they were weakened and unable to present a united front against the foreigners. According to The Annals of the Four Masters2, under the year 800 we find, “Ard-Macha was plundered thrice in one month by the foreigners, and it had never been plundered by strangers before.” Further raids took place on at least seven occasions, and in 941 they record, “Ard-Macha was plundered by the same foreigners ...” It is, therefore, rather surprising that in spite of so much disruption in various parts of the country, there remained for many people a degree of normality and resilience in daily life, which enabled 1 The Vikings, also referred to as Norsemen or Danes, were Scandinavian seafarers who travelled overseas in their distinctive longships, earning for themselves the reputation of being fierce warriors. In Ireland their main targets were the rich monasteries, to which they returned and plundered again and again, carrying off church treasures and other items of value.

  • The Rev. William Frederick Johnston, Ma by Canon Michael Barton
    section 07:Layout 1 27/11/2009 10:54 Page 1 POYNTZPASS AND DISTRICT LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY 67 THE REV. WILLIAM FREDERICK JOHNSTON, MA BY CANON MICHAEL BARTON he Rev. Frederick William Johnson was born at Cochin, Kerala, South India. He was a Tpredecessor of mine as rector of the parish of Acton. How did a man born 7000 miles from here as the crow flies, and 14,000 miles by sea via the Cape of Good Hope, end up here in Poyntzpass? It is an interesting story. It is reasonably easy to supply some straightforward biographical details about Mr. Johnson, for they are given in Canon Fleming’s book, ‘Armagh Clergy, 1800- 2000’ But there was so much more to Johnson than the duties and interests associated with being a country clergyman. He had been a teacher and was an entomologist, obviously of some standing, for he was a fellow of the Royal Entomological Society. Entomology is the study of insects and bugs. And that is where I find Mr. Johnson most interesting. So, let me first deal with his early life, education and career; then his role as rector of Acton; and finally his lifelong interest as a naturalist and expert on beetles. William Frederick Johnston 1852 - 1934 We go back to where Johnson was born. His parents From 1881 to 1895 Johnson was a Vicar Choral at St. were the Rev. Edmund Johnson, a Church of Ireland Patrick’s Cathedral, Armagh, (a post which requires a clergyman, and his wife, who were working as singing voice), serving under Dean William Reeves, and missionaries with the Church Missionary Society at Dean George Alexander Chadwick.

Chapter 1 surveys the tradition as developed in the 17th and 18th centuries, but also examines the peculiarity of a Church established by law in a land the majority of whose people adhered to other Christian bodies.

  • The Reves Family
    A REEVES GENEALOGY THE REVES FAMILY The Descendants of WALTER REEVES of Burlington County, New Jersey, Through His Eldest Son JOHN By Haviland F. Reves REVES ASSOCIATES Detroit - Michigan 1951 Copyright, 195 1, by Haviland F. Reves Fox Theatre Building, Detroit, Michigan Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 51-11880 Pictorial insert by courtesy of Detroit Colortype Company and The Baring Press, Detroi Composition by Composition Service, Detroit Printed by offset by Edwards Brothers, Ann Arbor, Mich THE REVES FAMILY To Mary Eveline Reves, who has made possible the completion of this work by her love and understanding, and active assistance and lively humor through the hours of research and writing. PREFACE This book is the record of the family of John Reves, oldest son of Walter Reeve(s), of Burlington County, N. J., who died in 1698. The families of two other children of Walter -Walter, Jr., and William -have been recorded in "The Reeves Family" by Stevens and Birch; little is known about the families of the other five sons. This record of the senior branch of the family has been given, as title, the distinctive spelling used in each generation since Walter Reeve(s), but now almost extinct. It is to be hoped that this record may be some day completed to the latest gener­ ation, where gaps now occur, and take its part in a comprehen­ sive genealogy of the entire Reeves Family. The orthography "Reves" gives identity to a distinct family line which marks the logical limits of this work, although it is, save for the Kansas line, nearing extinction.

  • William Reeves Bishop, Scholar, Antiquary
    MEMORIAL DISCOURSE Trinity College Dublin Trinity Monday 24 May 1937 William Reeves Bishop, Scholar, Antiquary By John Ernest Leonard Oulton William Reeves was born at Charleville, Co. Cork, on St. Patrick’s Eve, 1815. The family of Reeves originally came from Dorset, but had long been settled in the South of Ireland. Several of its members were connected with the legal profession: William’s father, Boles D’Arcy Reeves was an attorney – “pragmaticus” he is styled in the Entrance Book; Sir William Reeves was attorney general in Ireland of King Charles I; and a more distant ancestor, Sir Thomas Reeves was an eminent ecclesiastical lawyer in the time of King James I. Incidentally, this Sir Thomas provides an instance of an author in the family, albeit of a somewhat peculiar kind, for he “rendered himself notorious by his literary efforts to represent St. Patrick as a myth, and the prevailing creed of Ireland a fable.” It has not, therefore, been left to modern days to spin strange theories concerning our national saint. On his mother’s side Reeves was also well connected. His grandfather was Captain Jonathan Bruce Roberts, who served during the whole of the War of Independence in America and fought at Bunker’s Hill in 1775. When his military career was over, Captain Roberts settled down in his native town of Charleville, and became as a man of peace a model of all that a country gentleman should be. It was in his house that William Reeves was born. Boles Reeves was a man of much originality and gifted with a store of wit and humour; and in this respect William certainly inherited something from his father, for he was always fond of a joke and much addicted, as were his contemporaries Dean Dickinson and Father Healy, to punning.

    CENTRE FC.R. NEWFOUNDLAND STUDIES TOTAL OF 10 PAGES ONLY MAY BE XEROXED (Without Author's Pennission) Resistance to Bishop Edward Feild in Newfoundland 1845-1857 Harbour Buffett: A Case Study by Calvin Hollett, B.A., B.Ed., M.C.S. A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of History Memorial University of Newfoundland October 2002 St. John's Newfoundland 11 Abstract This thesis sees religion as a major category of social history. Its focus is the evangelical opposition from 1845 to 1857 to the Tractarianism of Bishop Feild ofthe Church of England. The people of Harbour Buffett, Placentia Bay, and Thomas E. Collett were catalysts in that opposition which echoed back to England, itself. Refusals to pay to the Church Society were not the source of the opposition but merely one avenue of resistance to the theology and practice of Bishop Feild. Bishop Feild introduced Tractarianism to Newfoundland in the context of a robust Roman Catholicism under Bishop Michael Anthony Fleming and a vibrant, expanding Methodism. The latter cooperated with the evangelical Anglicans in the Newfoundland School Society. Feild drove both to toward political collaboration with Roman Catholics in bringing about Responsible Government by pressing for a denominational school system under the control of his clergy, These factors were prominent in Placentia Bay with its expanding economy, population and access to government services. Harbour Buffett was founded out of a desire of a scattered and mobile people, mainly of the evangelical Church of England, to centralize and establish a community with a school and a church.
