Ordnance Map of Fenwick, pasted on inside of End Cover, lA INTRODUCTORY NOTE, For fully a hundred years Matthew Fowlds li\-ed and wrought in the parish of Fenwick, and, for the greater part of that time, he was one of the best known and most highly respected men in the countryside. After his death in IQ07, it was felt by many of his relatives and friends that some permanent memorial of his long and useful life was an object worthy of being undertaken. It was found, however, that the uneventful, quiet course of a customer \\eaver's life, even though extended over a whole century, afforded slender material for forming what might be called a biograph}'. Yet it was e\-ident that there were many matters of parochial and general interest associated with the story of the Centenarian's hfe, and that, if the scope of the volume were so enlarged as to include these, there would be no difficulty in preparing what might be an appropriate memorial of one whose name ought not soon to be forgotten. Arrangements \\ere therefore made to secure from various friends and relatives contributions in the natme of reminiscences of the old man, and articles deaUng with matters associated more or less intimately with his history. The result is the present memorial volume. xii INTRODUCTORY x\OTE Rev. James Barr, B.D., of St. Mary's U.F. Church, Govan, whose early hfe was spent at Beanscroft, a farm about half a mile from Greystone Knowe, going back to the time when Fenwick came into existence as a parish, relates the story of the Fenwick Covenanters, from the most famous of whom Matthew Fowlds traced his descent. He also contributes " Reminiscences of a Centenarian." A brief account of the rise of the Secession Church in Scotland, and its first taking root in Fenwick, in the formation of the congregation (which came to number Mr. Fowlds among its members for eighty-four \-ears), and of its progi'ess under three pastorates, has been compiled by the Rev. J. K. Fairlie, the present minister. Mr. Thomas ^^'. Orr, son of the Re\'. Wilham Orr, who for half a century ministered to the congregation, has found congenial labour in preparing some account of the Fenwick wea\-ers and other worthies Two of the sons of ^Matthew Fowlds—\\'ilHam, the second son, of Louth, and George, the youngest, now Minister of Education in New Zealand, have contributed reminiscences of early days at Greystone Knowe. Mrs. Gibson, of Turnberr}^ Farm, who, as Jeannie Clelland, faithfully watched over the old man in liis dechning days, has also added some tender recollections. The Rev. David Landsborough, LL.D., of the Henderson Church, Kilmarnock, tells of numerous conversations with the old man, and of visits paid to his home in tiie course of his frequent rambles through the parish. Tlie late Mr. A. W. Meiklejohn. for many years the honoured and beloved master of Hareshaw School, Waterside, has furnished reminiscences which INTRODUCTORY NOTE xiii associate Mr. Fowlds with a school in which he always took the deepest interest. It was in weakness and weariness, borne with fortitude and patience of hope, that our friend, Mr. Meiklejohn, penned these affectionate tributes to his Fenwick friends and scholars, and that other to Matthew Fowlds, wliich forms a later chapter of this volume. On the 23rd of October, 1909, in his seventy-second year, he entered into rest. His memory is cherished with honour and affection by friends and pupils in Fenwick and in far-off lands. One of his distinguished scholars, Rev. Wm. Lindsay, Mi. A., was privileged to conduct his Funeral Ser\'ice. " Hush ! Blessed are the dead In Jesus' arms who rest, And lean their weary head For ever on His breast." Mr. James Dunlop, of Hallhouse, formerly of Midland, a confidential friend of Mr. Fowlds in his latter days, and one who was for ten 3'ears associated \^•ith him in the office of the eldership, has found something of interest to tell, suggested b}^ such unpromising material as the old Rent Receipt Book of Greystone Knowe Feu. A long and interesting letter from Canada, written in 1845 to Mr. Fowlds by an intimate friend, throws light upon incidents in Fenwick of that period, as well as upon matters in the United States and Canada. Age seems to ha^'e dealt more hardly with old letters and manuscripts preserved by Mr. Fowlds than with himself, so that it has not been easy to find among these much that could be reproduced. Mr. Orr has, however, succeeded in deciphering some that are worthy of xiv INTRODUCTORY NOTE preservation in this volume of memorial. An account of three memorable occasions in the life of the Centenarian—the Golden Wedding, the Elder's Jubilee, and the celebration of his hinidredth year—forms a section of much importance in the record of a remarkable life. The circumstances surrounding the old man's passing from the scene of his long labours, and some details of the Funeral Service and Funeral Sermon, are naturally tlie subject of the closing chapter, to which are added, in an appendi.x, a selection from numerous tributes to the good man's memory.

    The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer.
