The following' records are prepared simply for distribution among the descendants of Norman White. This will explain the introduction of many details that would be of little interest to a wider circle, and of incidents which might appear trivial to critical readers. In the third part, in order that the record may have additional interest and perhaps a permanent value to descendants bearing names other than White, brief records, so far as could be obtained, are given of the ancestral lines of those who have intermarried with Mr. White's. children and grandchildren. The "Memorials of Elder John White IJ1Id of His Descendants." a volume published in 1860 by Allyu Stanley Kellogg, a descendant, has supplied much of the matter in regard to ancestry. The editor desires also to acknowledge his indebtedness to those members of the family who have furnished information concerning collateral lines of descent, and especially to Miss Frances Barnard Hawley and Mr. Frederick Morgan Johnson, for the use of their genealogical charts. In the hope that this account of their ancestors may, as years pass away, become increasingly valuable, especially to the younger members of the ever-widening family circle, the little volume is submitted to his kinsfolk, with the affectionate regards of the editor.

Digitized by Google • Ancestors of Norman White. I. ELDER JOHN WHITE. Nonnan White's first ancestor in this country was John White, who was a P!lssen,ger in the ship Lyon, which sailed from England about the twenty-second of June, 1632, and arrived at Boston, Massachusetts, on Sunday, the sixteenth of September following. Since the "Memorials of Elder John White and of His Descendants,"· from which the statements in regard to Nonnan White's ancestry are, for the most part, taken, was published, it has been ascertained beyond any reasonable doubt, and largely through the investigations of Charles A. White, Esq., of New Haven, that Elder John White came from Shalford or Messing, in Essex County, England, and was the son of Robert White, who married, June 24th, 1585, Bridget Algar, and removed from Shalford to Messing a few years before his death, in 1617. Three of Robert White's daughters came with their husbands to New England; namely: Mary, wife of Joseph Loomis, of Braintree; Elizabeth, wife of William Goodwin, of Bocking; and Anna, wife of John Porter, of Felsted. Mr. Charles A. White, in a paper published in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register for January, 1901, says: "It is very plausibly supposed that John White, who came over in the Lion in 1632, and settled first in Newtown, now Cambridge, in Massachusetts, and then came with the • Edited by Allyn S. Kellogg, and published in 1860. Digitized by Google 10 Elder John White. Rev. Thomas Hooker and his church to Hartford, Connecticut, in 1636, was the son of Robert White of Messing. The record of his baptism has not been found. _He was not of age in 1617, when his father made his will, in which it was provided that if he should marry without the approbation and consent of his mother, and of Joseph Loomis of Braintree, and William Goodwin of Bocking, his legacy of two hundred pounds should be reduced to one hundred pounds. In the list of thirty-three passengers of the Lion, his name fpllows next after the name of William Goodwin." The name of the wife of John, son of Robert, was Mary, and her family name was probably Levit; but the Parish Register of Messing, which records his marriage, December 26th, 1622; is defaced. so that the name cannot be clearly deciphered. The above facts, together with the further coincidences that the name of Elder John White's wife was Mary, that the names of two of his sons repeat the names of the brothers of John, son of Robert, and that John Porter, who married Anna, daughter of Robert, appointed as "supervisors" of his will "Mr. William Goodwin of Hartford. and Goodman White (Elder John) of Hartford," the former certainly and the latter presumably being his brother-in-law, complete the proof that John White of Hartford and John White, son of Robert White of Messing, were one and the same. Robert White, as is manifest from his will, was a man of wealth for his day, occupying a position of substantial influence. Of his ancestry nothing has as yet been certainly discovered. As a matter of curious interest, if nothing more, it may be noted, that there is extant in the family of one of John White's descendants 1m old coat-of-arms, engraved some time Digitized by Google Digitizel COAT OF ARMS Used as a bookplate in the eighteenth century by a descendant of Elder .J ohn White.

Digitized by Google Elder John White. II in the eighteenth century, and used as a book plate, which is practically identical with the coat-of-arms of a John White who was a Mayor of London in 1563. This same coat-of-arms is also in possession of the descendants of William White, who settled in Haverhill, Massachusetts, in 1642. This John White of London had a son Robert, but as yet, beyond the above coincidences. there is no proof connecting his family with that of Robert White of Messing. Elder John White, the patriarch in this country of the family, was one of the first settlers of Cambridge, Massa­ chusetts; of Hartford, Connecticut, and of Hatfield, Massa­ chusetts. He was undoubtedly one of the main body of the company that, ~nder the lead of the Reverend Th6mas Hooker, their pastor, made the long journey in June, 1636, through the wilderness from Cambridge to the banks of the Connecticut, to found the City of Hartford. A vivid idea of what he and his companions experienced in this migration is best obtained from the graphic but simple narrative of the historian Trumbull: "About the beginning of June, Mr. Hooker, Mr. Stone, and about a hundred men, women and children, took their departure from Cambridge, and travelled more than a hundred miles through a hideous and trackless wilderness to Hartford. They had no guide but their compass; made their way over mountains, through swamps, thickets and rivers which were not passable but with great difficulty. They had no cover but the heavens, nor any lodging but those which simple nature afforded them. They drove with them a hundred and sixty head of cattle, and by the way subsisted on the milk of their cows. Mrs. Hooker was borne through the wilderness upon a litter. The people generally carried their packs, arms and some utensils. They were nearly a fortnight on their journey. The adventure Digitized by Google 12 Elde,. John Whil,. was the more remarkable as many of this company were persons of figure, who had lived in England in honor, affluence and delicacy, and were entire strangers to fatigue and danger." In the records of Hartford, John White appears as one of the original proprietors. His allotments of farm land were among the largest assigned to any settler. His home lot was on the east side of what is now called "Governor Street." "The famous Charter Oak, already past its maturity, and beginning in its decay to construct the hollow which preserved the Charter of Connecticut from the grasp of its enemies, stood on the neighboring lot of Governor Wyllys; and its lengthening shadows, as the evening sun went down, rested on John White's dwelling." "In each of the important towns in which he lived, his aid was required in the management of its prudential affairs. The capacity to discharge the duties of a townsman, as well as those of a representative to the colonial Legislature, was in that day an indispensable pre-requisite to the appointment. "The office of ruling elder in the church, which he held during the last ten or twelve years of his life, was one of great influence and importance. There was usually but one ruling elder in each church. His office was designed to relieve the teaching elder or pastor of a considerable part of the labor, responsibility and anxiety attending the government and discipline of the church. It required a grave, discreet and reliable man, one who had earned a good report of those without and those within the church. Such a one, in all respects furnished for his work, was our John White."· He died either in December, 1682, or early in January, 1683, at about the age of eighty.

  • Married Women Traders of Nantucket, 1765-1865
    AGENCY: MARRIED WOMEN TRADERS OF NANTUCKET, 1765-1865 MARY L. HEEN* ABSTRACT Before the enactment of separate property and contract rights for married women, generations of married women in seaport cities and towns conducted business as merchants, traders and shopkeepers. The ®rst part of this article shows how private law facilitated their business activities through traditional agency law, the use of powers of attorney, trade accounts and family business networks. These arrangements, largely hidden from public view in family papers, letters, and diaries, permitted married women to enter into contracts, to buy and sell property, and to appear in court. Private law, like equity, thus pro- vided a more ¯exible alternative to the common law of coverture under agree- ments made within the family itself. On the other hand, public law proved much more restrictive for wives who were not part of a viable or harmonious mar- riage. In post-revolutionary Massachusetts, for example, the feme sole trader statute and various judicially adopted exceptions to the legal disabilities of married women under the common law applied only to certain wives abandoned by their husbands. The second part of the article provides a case study of three generations of married women traders from Nantucket during the whaling era, the oil explora- tion business of its time. Their stories show how some married women, within the constraints of the law as it developed in Massachusetts without courts of eq- uity, attained a form of autonomy in business or commercial activity at the same time that they ful®lled their family responsibilities. Their stories also uncover tensions underlying the ®rst wave of women's rights reform efforts in the mid-nineteenth century, including the developing separation between work and home that continues to pose challenges for family law and for men and *.

  • The Great East Window: Analysis and Hypothesis by Julie Adams Introduction
    The Great East Window: Analysis and Hypothesis by Julie Adams Introduction Standing at the west end looking down the nave, the eye is normally led to the Great East Window, (Fig 1) which rises prominently above the high altar, and can be seen beyond the quire screen. In this article I shall be considering the content of the window before and after the restoration that was carried out by Edward Baillie in 1852. Much of the window content is clearly not original, but some is, and I will offer a hypothesis on what might have been there when it was first installed by Bishop Fox in c.1520. Fig 1 The Great East Window Photo: Roger Buchanan Content of the Window before and after the Restoration of 1852 The window is in three tiers, with seven lights (or glazed panels) in the bottom row, and three main lights in each of the middle and top rows. The lower two tiers are single figures set below architectural canopies in a similar style to the glazing of the nave and the clerestory. The top tier makes up a single composition of Christ flanked by The Blessed Virgin Mary and St John the Baptist. The style of the stonework is late perpendicular, similar to that of the Lady Chapel windows. John Dolbel Le Couteur published his treatise “Ancient Stained Glass in Winchester” [1] in 1920, a comprehensive survey which has never been superseded. In it he identifies most of the contents of the window shown here in the schematic diagram (Fig 2). 1 Key:- v = Angel with shield w = Angel with trumpet x = hyssop y = Scroll with Fox’s motto z = scourge 3(a) Blessed Virgin Mary 3(b) Christ in Majesty 3(c) St John the Baptist 2(a) A Prophet 2(b) Sainted ecclesiastic 2(c) Amos 1(a) = St Swithun 1(b) “St Peter” 1(c) Jeremiah 1(d) St Andrew 1(e) Haggai 1(f) St Paul 1(g) Sainted Bishop Fig 2 Outline redrawn by the author, based on a scale drawing by Owen Carter in 1844 Originally, the window was inserted in the 1520s, when Richard Fox was Bishop and his tenure is still proudly announced in the window by two scrolls bearing his motto “Est Deo Gracia” - Thanks be to God, or Thanks are due to God.

  • On a Palimpsest Brass of Bishop White, at Winchester College, and Brasses of the White Family at Southwick
    79 ON A PALIMPSEST BRASS OF BISHOP WHITE, AT WINCHESTER COLLEGE, AND BRASSES OF THE WHITE FAMILY AT SOUTHWICK. BY PERCY G. LANGDON. The Chapel of Winchester College formerly contained one of the finest collections of monumental brasses in England, but through the restoring (?) hand of one, and the carelessness of another, but little remains to tell of their former grandeur. At the restoration of the chapel in 1877, tne brasses were taken up and stowed away for safety, as was supposed, but when they were required for replacing all had disappeared. A fragment of one only having escaped the sacrilegious hand. This fragment consists of a portion of the effigy of Bishop White, which composed his cope, and is now in the keeping of the present Warden, the Rev. G. B. Lee, by whose kindness and courtesy the writer was lately permitted to obtain a rubbing here reproduced (Plate I). It is a palimpsest, being engraved on both sides, having on the reverse the figure of a widow in mourning of date circa 1440. The memorial seen in the chapel at the present day has ^ been pfaced there at the sole expense of Edwin Freshfield, Esq. LL.D., F.S.A., an old Wykehamist, who has generously restored other brasses and in various ways shewn his love for the ancient foundation of which he was a scholar and is now a member of the governing body. The modern brass, . which purports to be a facsimile of the original, measures 7-ft. 5f-in. x 4-ft 2-in., and depicts White vested in a handsome cope diapered with pomegranates, marguerites, and Tudor roses.

  • Stantons in America
    The Stantons in America The Patrilineal Ancestry of Charles Howland Stanton Patrick Hoggard December, 2015 Contents Introduction 1 The Rhode Island Stantons Robert Stanton 5 John Stanton 29 John Stanton 45 The Nantucket Stanton Samuel Stanton 66 The Peripatetic Stantons William Stanton 72 Zaccheus Stanton 88 The Indiana Stantons Eli Stanton 118 Dilwin Stanton 129 The California Stantons Will Stanton 141 Charles Stanton 153 Final Thoughts 158 Introduction To follow the Stantons from their first arrival in America down to Charles Howland Stanton is largely to trace the history of Quaker migrations in this country. Consequently two of the questions we shall be asking are who was the first Stanton Quaker in this line and who was the last Quaker. Also, out of general interest, inquiring minds would like to know how or whether this line is related to the two most prominent Stantons in American public life, Edwin Stanton, the Secretary of War under Lincoln, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton (meaning, of course, her husband). But first, a very brief introduction to Quaker movements in America. The birth of the Quakers in England is set by many in the year 1652, when George Fox began to attract large number of followers to his ideas. He and his Friends of the Light shortly thereafter began to be referred to as Quakers because of references to trembling before the Lord. The first Quakers appeared in America in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1656, getting an icy reception there. Quakers were persecuted indefatigably, and four of them were hanged in Boston in 1660.

Subsequently I spoke on them in the Cambridge Seminar on Christianity and the Book, and they became the focus of the fifth in a series of lectures I gave to the English Faculty at the University of Oxford in 2006. Frustrated by the seeming contradictory information they yielded, I put them aside until the autumn of 2014 when my friend Martyn Percy became Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, at which point I became determined to assemble my scattered thoughts as a tribute to him.

  • Laymen and Monasteries in Hampshire, 1530-1558
    LAYMEN AND MONASTERIES IN HAMPSHIRE, 1530-1558 By JOSEPH KENNEDY PROLOGUE: THE HAMPSHIRE MONASTIC SCENE (Fig. 27) ALTOGETHER, there were 15 houses of monks, canons and nuns in sixteenth century Hampshire.1 No less than five of these dated from pre-Norman times, tracing back to the Wessex Kingdom. Of these, three were in or near to Winchester, namely the Benedictine Priory of St. Swithun, the Benedictine Abbey of Hyde and the Benedictine Abbey (for nuns) of St. Mary's; the other two were Benedictine nunneries, Romsey Abbey and Wherwell Abbey, both in the valley of the Test. The Cistercians had four houses in Hampshire, three for men and one for women. The monks were at Quarr, near Ryde in the Isle of Wight, and at Beaulieu and Netley on both sides of Southampton Water; the nuns were at Hartley Wintney in north-east Hampshire, with lands draining into the Thames valley. There were five houses of Augustinian canons, all priories dating from the twelfth century. Three of these had sites adjacent to the south coast, at Christchurch, St. Denys (Southampton), and Southwick, near Portsmouth. The other two were in river valley settings, at Breamore on the Hampshire Avon and at Mottisfont on the Test. Finally, there was a Premonstratensian Abbey at Titchfield in the lower Meon valley. This abbey, like the Cistercian abbeys, had been founded in the high age of monastic foundations which fell roughly between the beginning of the twelfth century and the middle of the thirteenth. The rule at Titchfield was similar to that of Citeaux in many respects but it laid more stress upon apostolic activity as against the Cistercian tendency to seclusion.
