PROVERBS xxrr:1 1ihoA F. DoAK PREFACE The wish to preserve the fine qualities of c\aracter, and the good name of our forebears, to us the FRENCH family cousins, and to the generations yet to come prompted the publication of this volume. The thought originated when Mrs. Ethel Dunlap Mason, daughter of Naomi FRENCH Dunlap, sent to Iowa a manu­ script copy of the Abbott-Tutill genealogies, showing the FRENCH connection with these lines, through the marriage of Naomi Abbott with Samuel FRENCH. From time to time the desire to make this material avail­ able to all their descendants had been thought of, but nothing definite was accomplished. In the fall of 1928, the family of Martha Ketman Abernathy and her husband Joe Abernathy were moving from Iowa to Georgia. Martha Ketman Abernathy being the daughter of Ada FRENCH Ketman, a FRENCH family picnic was held in their honor, September 24, at Renwick on the lawn of Susie FRENCH Martin and her husband Walter Martin. At this picnic an organization was per£ected which is known as the FRENCH FAMILY CLAN. It was decided to hold similar gatherings biennially. Mida FRENCH Doan was elected president, and Franklin FRENCH Ward was elected secretary. At the picnic of 1932, Orris Elon FRENCH of Renwick was elected president with Dr. Royal F. FRENCH of Marshalltown as secretary, a historian was added to the list of offices, and Mida FRENCH Doan of Humboldt was elected to that of£ice. This crystallized the thought into action. Since that time the historian has been gathering family data as she could. Checking and rechecking the material already in hand, and gathering a little additional here and 7 a little there, until this volume has been compiled and ready for distribution. The Library of Congress at Washington, D. C., New­ berry Library of Chicago, Boston Public Library, also Library of Vital Statistics of Boston, State Historical Records of New Hampshire, at Concord, New Hampshire, The Library of Rutland, Vermont, and Historical Library at Des Moines, Iowa, are among the places she has visited searching for material. Old cemeteries and old family Bibles have contributed their records. Old diaries have been read. Also a pilgrimage has been made to the old farm homestead in Chautauqua County in New York, where SAMUEL and NAOMI FRENCH were pioneers in the then wilderness of western New York and to the FRENCH homestead in Glendale, Monroe County, Wisconsin. She has written innumerable letters to libraries and historical societies, as well as to relatives. Permission has been obtained from the Media Research Bureau for use of some of the material in "Name History" and "Heraldry Lore." All the data which forms the records of the living gen­ erations_ has been contributed by the individual families, without whose cooperation and prompt response this work could not have been accomplished. To all these and to Media Research Bureau deep appre­ ciation is hereby expressed. There doubtless will appear errors in this record. No genealogical work is free £rom them. Even in the volumes in libraries devoted to this work alone, corrections made by members of the family coming for copy, may be found. This is due to many causes. Inaccuracy in giving informa­ tion, inaccuracy of copy-guesswork in reply to questions. Errors even creep into the keeping of family records. As being the less complicated of any genealogical arrangement the "Shafter System" has been £ollowed­ giving every person whether married or unmarried the same careful attention. The children of each head of a family are arranged in consecutive numerical .numbers and are referred to _by 8 generations and can be found by looking up the paragraph or page number in the index. As, for instance: Elon Orris4, (the President of our Clan), paragraph 140, but appears first as number 123, in a list of his father's children. In paragraph 140, he is listed as follows: Elon Orris4 ( 123) FRENCH ( Orris Elon3, Samuel Hela2, Samuell) . The small figures at the right and above a name show the generation of the person from the first known settler in America. By this arrangement the oldest child of the family and their descendants have precedence. The abbreviations used are those usually found in family histories: b. for ttborn," d. for ttdied," m. for <~was married to." All who marry into the family will carry the num­ bers of their wives or their husbands, whichever the case may be. MmA F. DoAN, Historian. Humboldt, Iowa, 1940. 9 INTRODUCTION Why You Have a Family Name and What It Means To You Primitive personal names doubtless originated soon after the invention of spoken language, although the date of their first use is lost in the darkness of ages preceding history. For thousands of years thereafter, first or given names were the only designations that men and women bore; and in the dawn of historic times, when the world was less crowded than it is today and every man knew his neighbor, one title of address was sufficient. Only gradually with the passing of the centuries and the increasing com­ plexity of civilized society, did a need arise for more spe­ cific designations. While the roots of our system of family names may be traced back to early civilization, actually the hereditary surname as we know it today dates from a time scarcely earlier than nine hundred years ago. A surname is a name added to a baptismal or Christian name for the purpose of making it more specific and to indicate family relationship or descent. Classified accord­ ing to origin, most surnames fall into four general cate­ gories. The first class of surnames is formed by the given name of the sire; second, those arising from bodily or per­ sonal characteristics; third, those derived from locality or place of residence; and fourth, those derived from occupa­ tion. It is easier to understand the development of our institution of surnames if this clasification is kept in mind. The third class of family names, and perhaps the largest of all, is that comprising local surnames-names derived from and originally designating the place of residence of the bearer. Such names were popular in France at an early date, and were introduced into England by the Normans, 11 many of whom were known by the titles of their estates. The surnames adopted by the nobility were largely of this type, being used with the particles de, de la, or del, mean­ ing of or of the. The name FRENCH, meaning uAsh Tree," belongs un­ doubtedly to this period, and to the third form of this classification. The French form of the name being De Fraxinus, De Frienge, Del la Freyne, or De la Fresney, the place of or the place where the ash tree grew in abundance, and may have been given to the possessor of lands where this tree grew in large quantities. Another interpretation being the name was given to one . standing straight and tall like the spear. The spears were made from the wood of the ash tree, a long shaft and sharp head being required for thrusting and throwing. The origin of surnames in England was about the year 1000. They were largely introduced from Normandy, and here as in France, they went through many changes. In America a greater variety of family names exist than anywhere else in the world. Surnames of every race and nation are represented. However the greatest number by far are of English origin. Those Americans who possess old and honored names; who trace the history of their surnames back to sturdy immigrant ancestors; or even beyond, across the seas, and into the dim mists of antiquity; may be rightfully proud of their heritage. While the name in its original state may seem ingenious, humble, surprising, or matter-of-fact, its significance today lies not in a literal interpretation of its original meaning, but in the many things which have hap­ pened to it since it first came into use. In the beginning it was only a word-a convenient label to distinguish one John from his neighbor John who lived across the field. But soon it established itself as a part of the bearer's individuality; and as it passed to his children, his children's children, and their children in turn, it be­ came the symbol, not of one man, but of a family and all that that family stood for. Handed down from one generation to another, the name grew inseparably with the achievement, the tradi- 12 tion, the prestige of that family. Like the coat of arms­ that vivid symbolization of the name which warrior ancestors bore in battle-the name itself, borne through every event of a man's life and through the lives of scores of his progenitors, became the badge of family honor. The "Good Name" to be proud of was also to be protected and to fight for if need be.

  • 116 Seventeenth-Century News
    116 seventeenth-century news College. Milton soon readies himself to express “some naked thoughts that rove about / And loudly knock to have their passage out” (quoted in Prawdzik 27). This stage performance, Prawdzik explains, feminizes the poet (31) and thereby places him in a transsexual subject posi- tion (32), one that arises from the “ambiguous intertwining of flesh and the forces [of desire] that move it” (33). The public spectacle of the poet’s transsexual body threatens his identity even as it lends him authorial power: Milton locates the menace that attends theatricality in the genitals themselves, the epicentre of the possibly exposed. As the source of reproductive power and as the anchor of gendered identity, they are, as well, a sign of poetic authority. In the ne- gotiations of the theatricalised rhetorical situation, the genitals are a locus of shape-shifting and of potential castration. (35) Those of us who are unable to find any genitals in this early poem might question Prawdzik’s analysis, but we can still learn much from him about Milton’s struggle to negotiate his identity under the “hostile gaze felt to issue from a social body, a panoptic God, or the conscience or superego” (35). This is the work of a bold scholar, willing to take imaginative risks, and eager to bring Milton into new realms of literary criticism and theory that have too often left him behind. J.

Using information from the herald’s visitations of four counties, it offers quantitative evidence of the proportion of gentry children who entered university, spent time at one of the inns of court or became apprentices in London. We show that over the period there was little change in the educational destinations of gentry sons: university and apprenticeship absorbed roughly equal proportions; the inns of court slightly less. We also show that a son’s position in the birth order had a very strong influence on the kind of education he received. Eldest sons were much more likely to go to university or one of the inns of court. Younger sons were much more likely to become apprentices in London – as we show, trade clearly was an acceptable career for the gentry. There is little sign of a change in the status of different educational choices in this period. Our findings confirm some traditional assumptions about the importance of birth order and normative expectations in determining the life-courses of gentry children in the seventeenth century: historians should not over-state the autonomy of elite children in deciding their futures.

Traub, Chair Professor Michael C. Schoenfeldt Associate Professor Susan M. Juster Associate Professor Susan Scott Parrish © Gavin Hollis 2008 To my parents ii Acknowledgements In an episode of The Simpsons, Marge urges Bart not to make fun of graduate students because “they’ve just made a terrible life choice.” This may be true, but one of the many advantages of this “life choice” is that I have met, been inspired by, and become firm friends with an array of people on both sides of the pond. The first debt I owe is to my advisors at the University of Michigan, who have seen this project through its many stages of confusion and incoherence. Mike Schoenfeldt, Scotti Parrish, and Sue Juster have been supportive, critical, rigorous, inventive, and excellent company. My biggest debt of gratitude is owed however to Valerie Traub, the chair of my dissertation committee, whose influence on this project and has been, and I hope will continue to be, immense. I’m also indebted to faculty at Trinity Hall, Cambridge and at The Shakespeare Institute who have shaped me as a scholar before I made it these shores. I am especially grateful to Peter Holland, who, it is no exaggeration to say, taught me how to read Shakespeare. Thank you also to John Jowett, Drew Milne, and John Lennard.

By European standards this was a belated innovation; the Spanish, Dutch and French had developed effective methods of debt service around a century earlier, based upon high tax revenues and borrowing. This study will explore the reasons why the English lagged behind their rivals in developing a fiscal state. England was not a poor country, and the reasons for its low tax base and poor creditworthiness were largely political. However, political historians, accustomed to analysing texts, rarely appreciate the significance of figures.
