Elinore Lexington, who has made such vast the research in ancient family history and hearldry, says Ar- family dates back to Edward the Confessor and from chil, a Saxon thane. =ou Symon, the son of Wm. de Clynt, in 1300, hau * came to known as Symon's son, or Sympson, which soon perish be Simson, then Simpson. Simpson is the name of a is one seat of the in Buckingham, and, at Knaresborough, Simpson's; another is Foster Hall, Yorkshire. and Symon de Clynt migrated from Ireland to Scotland engaged with engaged in the highland wars. Becoming whereupon they the clan of Frazier, he overcame them, f was known as adopted him and he became their chief and the Frazier plaid, Symon of the Clan Frazier. Adopting and, to the present day, is -: it came down to his son Symson their descendants used by tht Simpsons of Scotland and wherever the plaid is known and loved. and Simsons, also Arms are blazoned for the Simpsons 1 ' * SIMPSON FAMILY the Symsons of Bucking-ham, Durham, York, Litchfield, London, Scotland and Ireland. While the mottoes differ, as do some of the decorations, they all have in common an argent: on a chief, vert, three crescents of the first crest. One family uses the Crest; a cresent, motto: Tandem, Imple bitur; while the one used by that branch that is re- presented in America by Andrew Simpson, emigrant 1725, have crest: A falcon proper, motto: Alis Nutrior, lam fed by birds. Of the Alis Nutrior crest, Burks General Armor says "Simpson (Udoch, Scotland 1672) Sr., on a chief, vert three cresents of the first CREST A Falcon valant ppr. Mot- to, Alis Nutrior." These arms are similarly described in Wm. Berry's "Encyclopedia Heraldica," London 1828, and R. R. Stod- art's "Scottish Arms." Edinburg 1881. The same crest for Simpson of Udoch is also given in James Fairbairn's "Book of Crests," Edinburg 1892. The Simpsons were founders of linen factories both in Ireland, at Belfast, and at Edinburg in Scotland, yet in flourishing condition. By religion, they were Scotch Irish Presbyterians. The Presbyterians were exposed to religious annoy- ances. Even protestant marriages were not recognized by the State. Rev. Gilbert Kennedy says, in a letter, dat- ed Oct. 5, 1716, "Our prelates are violent where I live. Four of my flock have been lately delivered to Satan for being married by me." 2 SIMPSON FAMILY In 1724, the Act of Toleration was passed and by it liberty of Worship was granted Presbyterians, but other grievances were left unredressed. Presbyterians were subject to frequent prosecutions. Crops for several suc- cessive years were failures. In 1718 six ministers and many of their people came to America. So great had be- come the emigration to America from among the Scotch Irish Presbyterians that Archbishop Boulton sent to the Secretary of State in England a "Melancholly Account," as he calls it, of the State of the North. He says "The people who so complain of their oppressions they suffer, as well as from the dearness of provisions." "The whole North," he says, "is in ferment, and the humor has spread like a contagion." "The worst is," says the Archbishop, "that it affects only protestants and reigns chiefly in the North which is the seat of our linen manufactorie." This emigration to America kept up from among the Scotch Irish without abatement until the middle of the century. In 1729, 6,000 came to America, and, before the middle of the century, they were coming at the rate of 12,000 an- nually. Searching the American Records for Simpson fore- fathers, we find that John Simpson came over in the "Truelove" in 1635 with his wife Susannah and settled at Watertown, Massachusetts. They brought with them six children. Francis Simpson, of Salem, Massachusetts, was "named as a Quaker" in 164S. Alexander, of Boston, 1659, was a native of Scotlaud, as was Andrew, who. in 3 SIMPSON FAMILY 1725, settled in Boston, and, after a few years, became one of the founders of Nottingham, New Hampshire. Of the distinguished members of the Simpson family, "Herdman's Officers of the American Revolution" gives the names of Ensign Andrew Simpson, 119—81; Surgeon Johnof Connecticut; and Capt. Thomas of New Hampshire. Capt. Michael Simpson was also a member of the conti- nental Army. Major John, who was at Bunker Hill, was a signer of the "Association Test." Robert Simp- son moved to Pennsylvania, and his son, John, of Bucks County, was the father of Hannah Simp- son, who became the mother of Gen. Ulysses Simpson Grant. Another patriot was George Simp- son, of Pennsylvania, Commissary General of the Revolution, and an officer of the Bank of North America, finance the first bank in the United States. He helped the infant Republic in the War of 1812. Elinore Lexington, in reviewing the family of Simp- sons of two continents, says: "Characteristics of the Simp- sons are remarkable executive ability and practical com- mon sense, the sense that should be called uncommon sense. The family also possesses strong individuality with great mental power." "The family had its famous traveler and explorer, Sir George Simpson, born in Rosshire, Scotland, 1796. He was knighted for his services to the cause of science. Thomas Simpson was a great mathematician. Sir James Young Simpson was a Scottish physician of the nineteenth 4 SIMPSON FAMILY century who brilliantly fought and won the battle for anaesthetics, and introduced chloroform. The Simpsons have intermarried with the proudest families of New Eng- land, Pennsylvania and Virginia, so that many other distin- guished names to-day are monuments to the Simpson blood." True it was that the family were actively engaged in business. Prior to coming to America, they were at Not- tingham, England, from which place a large party of Scotch-Irish Protestants fled from the old world, rather than renounce their faith after the "Restoration." It was a large company of men that made their way to Colerain, County Antrim, Ireland, in 1725, and sailed for America, landing at Boston, Massachusetts. Andrew The Emigrant. Andrew, when he arrived in America, brought with him his wife, Betsey Patton, and one child, born in Londen- dary, Ireland, having died in 1723. There were born to Andrew Simpson and Sarah his wife the following children: Thomas, b. 1725, married (1) Sarah Morrison, (2) Mary Cochran. Robert, b. 1726, Soldier in French and Indian War, Josiah, b. 1729, served 3 years with distinction in the French and Indian War. After the terrible fight at Fort Harmer, Ohio, he moved to Maine. SIMPSON FAMILY Andrew b. 1731, married Agnes Ayres, Patton b. 1737, married (1) Jane McClure, (2) Mrs. Lydia Graves. The first wife of Andrew, the Emigrant, was killed by Indians (after the family had moved to Nottingham, New Hampshire,) September, 1745. He married for a second wife, a widow Brown, whose maiden name was York. To this union were born: William, b. 1746, married Eunice Abigail, b. 1750, married Jacob Osborne. After settling in Boston, Andrew, the emigrant, de- cided that that city was not conducive to the raising and training of a family of boys, hence he received a grant of land from the King, a staked out farm adjoining Not- tingham Square in New Hampshire. His moving to the Block House was followed by the murder of his first wife by the Indians. Andrew and his brother, Thomas, were agents or trustees for the towns of Nottingham and Deer- field. Here their children grew to maturity. Second Generation. Andrew II, from whom the Ohio branch of the Simp- sons descend, was born in Boston in 1731, and married Agnes Avers. To this union were born: 1. William born 1760 2. Robert born 1764, married Lydia Longfellow 3. Josiah born 1765, married Bethia Sweatt. 6 SIMPSON FAMILY 4. John born 1769, married Abigail Guile 5. Nancy born 1771, married Wm. Emmerson, no children. 6. Andrew born 1772, married Sallie Lapish 7. Joseph born 1773, married Hannah Long-fellow 8. Betsey born 1775, married (1) — Berry (2)Obediah Burnham Third Generation. Josiah Simpson, son of Andrew II and Agnes Ayers, was born at Nottingham, N. H., December 10, 1765. He enlisted in the Continental Army, the following being his Military Record: Military Record Of Josiah Simpson. "I certify that the records of this office show the fol- lowing in relation to service of Josiah Simpson in Revolu- tionary War. A muster roll of the war record to recruit the New Hampshire Regiment in the Continental Army July 4th, 1780, shows Josiah Simpson of Nottingham, aged 16 having been engaged July 4th, 1780, discharged Dec. 6th 1780, Vol. Ill page 66—75—95. An account of the State bounty for Continental Sol- diers who enlisted in 1782 for three years or during the war shows Josiah Simpson as having enlisted July 8th 1782, Vol. Ill page 2S6. Attest. A. D. Ayling Adjutant General, New Hampshire." 7 SIMPSON FAMILY While Josiah Simpson gave his age, at first enlistment, as 16 years he lacked in fact from July 4th, to December 10, of being 15 years of age.

Thompson: The High Church Tradition in Ireland, 1800-1870, with particular reference to John Jebb and Alexander Knox. (Thesis for the M.A. Degree, 1992) ABSTRACT This is a critical enquiry into the widely held belief that the doctrines of pre-Tractarian High Church Anglicanism have exercised a specially tena• cious hold on the Church of Ireland. 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 Works Brass Band – a Historical Directory of the Industrial and Corporate Patronage and Sponsorship of Brass Bands
    The works brass band – a historical directory of the industrial and corporate patronage and sponsorship of brass bands Gavin Holman, January 2020 Preston Corporation Tramways Band, c. 1910 From the earliest days of brass bands in the British Isles, they have been supported at various times and to differing extents by businesses and their owners. In some cases this support has been purely philanthropic, but there was usually a quid pro quo involved where the sponsor received benefits – e.g. advertising, income from band engagements, entertainment for business events, a “worthwhile” pastime for their employees, corporate public relations and brand awareness - who would have heard of John Foster’s Mills outside of the Bradford area if it wasn’t for the Black Dyke Band? One major sponsor and supporter of brass bands, particularly in the second half of the 19th century, was the British Army, through the Volunteer movement, with upwards of 500 bands being associated with the Volunteers at some time – a more accurate estimate of these numbers awaits some further analysis. However, I exclude these bands from this paper, to concentrate on the commercial bodies that supported brass bands. I am also excluding social, civic, religious, educational and political organisations’ sponsorship or support. In some cases it is difficult to determine whether a band, composed of workers from a particular company or industry was supported by the business or not. The “workmen’s band” was often a separate entity, supported by a local trade union or other organisation. For the purposes of this review I will be including them unless there is specific reference to a trade union or other social organisation.

Rebecca Rose Read 28 November 2019 i Abstract Focussing primarily on the years 1830 to 1835, this thesis investigates the inner workings of the convict assignment system in Van Diemen’s Land by examining its record-keeping practices, the rationale for labour allocation within the private sector and the functioning of the magisterial system. It also assesses private-sector demand for convict labour, examines urban assignment, and compares the turnover and prosecution risk of convicts assigned to residents of an urban and a rural area. The aims are to enhance understanding of the assignment system, counter misconceptions, and improve the ability to contextualise individual convict and settler experiences.

    THE IRISH INTER-CHURCH MEETING BACKGROUND AND DEVELOPMENT IRISH INTER-CHURCH MEETING - The Irish Inter-Church Meeting - - The Irish Inter-Church Meeting - INTRODUCTION The first Inter-Church Meeting was held at the Ballymascanlon Hote l, Introduction 1 Dundalk, on September 26, 1973 (this is why the series of meetings Notes about the authors 2 became commonly known as the Ballymascanlon Talks). It was the first official meeting between the Member Churches of the Irish Council of The Preparatory Years 3 Churches and the Irish Episcopal Conference and is thus an historic event. - Rev Michael Hurley SJ The period since 1973 40 This first Meeting led to a process of ecumenical encounters and co- operation which has grown in intensity over the twenty-five years. - Rev Dr Ian Ellis Proposals are currently before the Churches which could lead to a further stage of development in interchurch relations. To commemorate the 25th Anniversary the Irish Inter-Church Committee commissioned two reflective essays. The first is by the Rev Michael Hurley SJ and it seeks to place the first Irish Inter-Church Meeting in the context of broader ecumenical developments of that time. The second is by the Rev Dr Ian Ellis who seeks to bring the story up to the present. We thank them for what they have done and hope that their work will be of interest to all those who are interested in the development of Irish ecumenism. The story of ecumenism in Ireland has been intertwined with that of `The Troubles' over the last twenty-five years, particularly in Northern Ireland.
