There are many omissions, and doubtless as many mistakes and wrong guesses. A work of this kind, depending upon family, and even printed, records, can never hope for com­ pleteness; always there will be something more to be said. It repre­ sents the labor of years, and from start to finish is the work almost of one hand. I am deeply appreciative of the help accorded me by the various members of the clan who have contributed their family records. Many have not responded. I need only add that long perusal of the subject convinces me that the three New England branches of the Hawes name,-that of Edmund of Cape Cod, of Edward of Dedham, and of our Richard, represent three distinct groups, with no near relationship even in the mother country. Warwickshire, Edmund's habitat, and Bucking­ hamshire, our ancestral home, as they are not far apart, might incline one to suppose that these two had a common origin. A Virginia family, dating back to Early Colonial times, in my opinion, is trace­ able to the Suffolk region of England. It has been claimed in print that Edward's ancestor was a John Hawes of London. But there is not a particle of evidence to bear out this statement. A Robert Hawes of Salem and Roxbury, with no descendants numerically important, only adds diversity. The later migrations of the last century have brought an Irish element into the Hawes blood here, which has been still more compounded by those arriving through Canada and the Provinces. In Pennsylvania and States farther West we may look to find some German stock, beginning as Haas, &c. but gradually assimilating to our ways of spelling the name. As a matter of precaution, in studying my own problems, much material has accumulated that relates to all these "outsiders." The late James W. Hawes, Esq., aside from his own immediate line, carried the Edmund story in America only through three genera­ tions. My findings of Edmund's and Edward's descendants, enough of each to fill a larger volume than the present one, only await the financial backing of some loyal descendant, or descendants, to bring them before the public.

IN ENGLAND The compiler of these pages, in articles contributed to the New England Historical and Genealogical Register (July 1929 and July 1930) has shown that Richard Hawes of Dorchester, Mass., was the son of a Richard Hawes of Great Missenden, Co. Bucks, England, whose will of 9 September 1665, on which date our American ancestor was not living, speaks of two grandchildren, Obadias and Hana Hawes, in New England. They had come in the "Truelove''. with their parents in 1635 and were enumerated in the passenger hst. Wills and parish registers show that the Hawes clan of this section of England was numerically prominent and dwelt at Princes Risborough, Great and Little Missenden, Wendover, Stewkley, Great or High Wycombe, and other adjoining parishes, all within a few miles of each other and located near the southern central part of the county. Great and Little Missenden, about two miles apart, are five miles and seven miles respectively from Wen dover; Princes Risbor­ ough, which lies between these extremes, is still nearer; Stewkley is farther away. High Wycombe is twenty-five miles from Oxford. The birthplace of our ancestor, once the seat of a rich abbey, is only thirty-one miles from London. The Hawes family of Bucks probably does not date far back, but to the north, in Warwickshire, at Solihull (near Birmingham) was a more numerous branch of the Hawes with records as early as 1300. (Consult "Ancestors of Edmond Hawes", by the late James W. Hawes, Esq., historian of the so-called Cape Cod Branch in this country.) Both the Buckinghamshire and the Warwickshire families were antedated by Suffolk-Norfolk lines that evidently had their origin at W alsham-le-Willows, near Bury St. Edmunds, a perfect nesting place for Haweses. As shown in "County Visitations", one branch removed from here to Cornwall where they retained for their name an earlier spelling of "Haweis". Another old form much in vogue, "Hawys", would seem to show that our name was pronounced as a word of two syllables. At the time when migration to New Eng­ land set in scarcely any county of England fails to show our name, and the same may be said of the numerous parish registers of old London. It would be safe to affirm that the name of Hawes was more fre­ quently met with in the England of 1600 than at any subsequent time in this country. For the origin or meaning of the name one is again referred to the work of James W. Hawes, Esq., whose re­ searches were extensive. The name, however spelled, has not a Norman-French ring, and if not antedating the coming of the Saxons to England, may have originated with the Angles who after overrunning the flat, marshy country of Eastern England gradually made their way westward, like all wander-loving people before and since. As far back as the time of King John (1215) a feminine form of the name, Haweisa, was the baptismal appella­ tion of a lady and is met with in old records. 2 RICHARD HA WES Burke's Landed Gentry gives not less than seventeen varieties in the coats of arms of Hawes families, but the Buckinghamshire Branch seems to have laid no claim to such distinction, being satis­ fied with the plain title of yeomen. Of the seventy-eight or more Buckinghamshire wills found at Somerset House, London, relating to the name of Hawes ( with their various spellings) and deposited by me with the New England His­ toric Genealogical Society at Boston, some thirty-nine were printed in their Register for July 1929. As helping to place Richard Hawes, the immigrant, in his line of descent, we subjoin here some of the more significant wills, abbreviated for convenience and with modern­ ized spelling and retaining the arbitrary numbering as already printed. 2. The will of Bennett Hawse, Great· Wycombe, dated 20 October 1545. To my son George Hawse; to John Bussell, my kinsman; the rest to my wife Elizabeth Hawse who is to see my debts paid, my children kept, and my body honestly buried. Wit­ nesses: Robert Wade, priest, William "Awys", clerk and "orgayne player". Overseer: John Greene, my neighbor. Proved 3 December 1545. 4.

To Richard my son all my horses, cart gear, and plough gear, and all things belonging thereunto ; to Richard's wife all my brass and pewter, save one little brass pot. I give her the house and all things within the same. To Thomas, the son of Henry Hawies, one quarter of wheat and another of barley and the little brass pot aforesaid.

  • The Ionian Islands in British Official Discourses; 1815-1864
    1 Constructing Ionian Identities: The Ionian Islands in British Official Discourses; 1815-1864 Maria Paschalidi Department of History University College London A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to University College London 2009 2 I, Maria Paschalidi, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract Utilising material such as colonial correspondence, private papers, parliamentary debates and the press, this thesis examines how the Ionian Islands were defined by British politicians and how this influenced various forms of rule in the Islands between 1815 and 1864. It explores the articulation of particular forms of colonial subjectivities for the Ionian people by colonial governors and officials. This is set in the context of political reforms that occurred in Britain and the Empire during the first half of the nineteenth-century, especially in the white settler colonies, such as Canada and Australia. It reveals how British understandings of Ionian peoples led to complex negotiations of otherness, informing the development of varieties of colonial rule. Britain suggested a variety of forms of government for the Ionians ranging from authoritarian (during the governorships of T. Maitland, H. Douglas, H. Ward, J. Young, H. Storks) to representative (under Lord Nugent, and Lord Seaton), to responsible government (under W. Gladstone’s tenure in office). All these attempted solutions (over fifty years) failed to make the Ionian Islands governable for Britain. The Ionian Protectorate was a failed colonial experiment in Europe, highlighting the difficulties of governing white, Christian Europeans within a colonial framework.

  • Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century A Catalogue D. W. Bebbington Professor of History, University of Stirling The catalogue that follows contains biographical data on the Unitarians who sat in the House of Commons during the nineteenth century. The main list, which includes ninety-seven MPs, is the body of evidence on which the paper on „Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century‟ is based. The paper discusses the difficulty of identifying who should be treated as a Unitarian, the criterion chosen being that the individual appears to have been a practising adherent of the denomination at the time of his service in parliament. A supplementary list of supposed Unitarian MPs, which follows the main list, includes those who have sometimes been identified as Unitarians but who by this criterion were not and some who may have been affiliated to the denomination but who were probably not. The borderline is less sharp than might be wished, and, when further research has been done, a few in each list may need to be transferred to the other. Each entry contains information in roughly the same order. After the name appear the dates of birth and death and the period as an MP. Then a paragraph contains general biographical details drawn from the sources indicated at the end of the entry. A further paragraph discusses religious affiliation and activities. Unattributed quotations with dates are from Dod’s Parliamentary Companion, as presented in Who’s Who of British Members of Parliament.

ABSTRACT THE RELUCTANT COLONIZATION OF THE FALKLAND ISLANDS 1833-1851: A STUDY OF BRITISH IMPERIALISM IN THE SOUTHWEST ATLANTIC By: Shannon Warnick For the Degree, Master of Arts in History University of Richmond December 2008 Dr. John L. Gordon, Jr., Thesis Director After the Napoleonic Wars, British leaders increasingly objected to large burdensome formal annexations. Hence, when South American markets opened in the 1820s British leaders considered using nearby island bases to ward off regional rivals. Britain therefore occupied the Falkland Islands in 1833. Despite governing the world’s strongest industrial and naval power however, British leaders neglected the Falklands’ progress as a colony from 1833 to 1851. Dogmatic faith in “efficiency” and free trade in the 1840s led to modest commercial progress by largely unfettered private interests in the islands, but led to little improvement in defense or society.

Museums, the Exhibitionary Complex and State Stability in the Victorian Era 1 Museums, the Exhibitionary Complex and State Stability in the Victorian Era Cécile Doustaly 1 Compared to other European nations, Britain was relatively late in opening free public museums. The British liberal tradition meant that “culture” was not a field whose support was in any sense self-evident, since it was not considered a matter for the State and had been only marginally associated with the monarchy. George III, one of the rare monarchs to be publicly involved in culture, notably for reasons of national prestige, chose to intervene from a safe distance, when resorting to the legal instrument of a Foundation for the creation of the Royal Academy of Arts, a private institution, which became self-sufficient by 1780. In the first half of the 19th century, exhibitions of private collections were popularised by semi-public galleries that had been established through the generosity of patrons — a few aristocrats, but mostly bankers, manufacturers, merchants or representatives of the liberal professionals (Doustaly 2010: 208-12).

It does so by way of examining the British Parliamentary Select Com­ mittee on Aborigines (British Settlements) appointed by Parliament in 1835 to look into the problem. By studying colonial official dispatches to the Colonial Office in London and by examining the evidence given iri the report of the Committee, the author establishes the fact that serious aboriginal problems resulting from contact with British settlers existed. The author also explores missionary reports, individual memoirs relevant to the problems, and articles in local London newspapers and magazines at the time. A detailed analysis of the biographies and political experience of the commissioners are given to help show why and how they arrived at the decisions they made and recommended to Parliament. The study then summarizes the report of the Committee and draws relevant conclusions. The author wishes to express his deep appreciation to his major advisers, Dr. Edward M. Walters and Dr. George F. Jewsbury, for their patience and wise guidance during this study, especially with my English language difficulties.

  • The Monuments and Memorials in Parliament Square, London
    On Stage at the Theatre of State: The Monuments and Memorials in Parliament Square, London STUART JAMES BURCH A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of The Nottingham Trent University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2003 Abstract This thesis concerns Parliament Square in the City of Westminster, London. It is situated to the west of the Houses of Parliament (or New Palace at Westminster) and to the north of St. Margaret’s Church and Westminster Abbey. This urban space was first cleared at the start of the nineteenth-century and became a “square” in the 1860s according to designs by Edward Middleton Barry (1830-80). It was replanned by George Grey Wornum (1888-1957) in association with the Festival of Britain (1951). In 1998 Norman Foster and Partners drew up an (as yet) unrealised scheme to pedestrianise the south side closest to the Abbey. From the outset it was intended to erect statues of statesmen (sic) in this locale. The text examines processes of commissioning, execution, inauguration and reaction to memorials in this vicinity. These include: George Canning (Richard Westmacott, 1832), Richard I (Carlo Marochetti, 1851-66), Sir Robert Peel (Marochetti, 1853-67; Matthew Noble, 1876), Thomas Fowell Buxton (Samuel Sanders Teulon, 1865), fourteenth Earl of Derby (Matthew Noble, 1874), third Viscount Palmerston (Thomas Woolner, 1876), Benjamin Disraeli (Mario Raggi, 1883), Oliver Cromwell (William Hamo Thornycroft, 1899), Abraham Lincoln (Augustus Saint-Gaudens, 1887/1920), Emmeline Pankhurst (Arthur George Walker, 1930), Jan Christian Smuts (Jacob Epstein, 1956) and Winston Churchill (Ivor Roberts-Jones, 1973) as well as possible future commemorations to David Lloyd George and Margaret Thatcher.
