Did the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381 have any effect in Bedfordshire? Joyce Godber wrote that ‘the Bedfordshire villages were surprisingly quiet’ but for one reason or another there appears to be only one surviving manor court roll for 1381 held by Bedfordshire Archives and Records Service. Historians tell us that during the ‘Revolt’ many manorial documents were destroyed and the Willington records begin the next year, in 1382 with a series of bailiff’s accounts and in 1394 with the manor court rolls.

    Robert Gray's Book

    1 TO MY ANCESTORS I see you toiling down the tedious years, You bearded, bent and gaunt old pioneers, Sowing and reaping, sowing once again, In patience for an unborn race of men. I see you struggling in the wilderness, Where failure meant starvation and success A cabin in a clearing, rough-hewn, rude, Garments of homespun and a humblesy food. Tradition scarely tells me whence you came; I only know a few of you by name; I only know you lived and multiplied, Quite profligate in progency, and died. Yet in my heart, I know that most of you Were strong and steadfast, and that one or two, At least had weaknesses that still may be Traced in the trend of atavistic me. One I am sure, was blessed with wit (I am thankful he transmitted some of it) That helped him dodge Dame Trouble’s swiftest dart, And meet misfortune with merry heart. One was a rather worthless wight, I fear, Who when the bluebird spring was near, Forsook his plow—a shiftless sluggard one— And roamed the woods alone with rod and gun. And one a gentle dreamer was, I know, Who lured by shadows, let the substance go. “twas he who dared the raging western sea,”— I’m glad he handed down his dreams to me. Unknown “I ever had a pleasure in obtaining any little anecdotes of my ancestors.” —Benjamin Franklin. “He only deserves to be remembered by posterity who treasures up and preserves the history of his ancestors.”—Edmund Burke. 2 PREFACE In the spring of 1963 I began to think of my ancestors.

    1965 Coinage Act & the Pilgrims Society

    1965 COINAGE ACT & THE PILGRIMS SOCIETY Presented October 2017 by Charles Savoie “WE ARE VERY PARTICULAR AS TO WHO WE LET IN” 2003 short run book, “The Pilgrims of the United States,” 1919 document, page 37. Some members of Congress were “let in” due to voting against silver coinage in 1965! “Sinclair Weeks, president of the Silver Users Association, said in a speech prepared for the press conference that the U.S. should eliminate the use of silver in its coins as soon as possible.”---Wall Street Journal, February 1, 1965, page 7. “Saving silver coins is an amusing way of exerting one’s independence of Big Brother, who officially frowns on such caprices.”---William Rickenbacker in “Death of the Dollar” (Arlington House, New Rochelle, New York, 1968, page 171). Some of you were around when the new cupronickel clad coins arrived on the scene in 1965. I remember that arrival as I was at a (which do you prefer) laundromat or washateria with an adult neighbor who thought the new orange-edge coins were cool, trendy and stylish. I however reacted with horror. I used to help my older brother count silver coins he received in payment for his newspaper route and that’s what I was used to seeing---silver dimes, halves and quarters. I fished out a mint error cent out of his vinyl zipper bank bag and sold it to a dealer for $5.00. The laundromat scene made me freak out, and I was barely 11. Just about everyone reacts to social change with alarm; things which we look back on and realize there was no need to get flustered because harm wasn’t done.
