The Line of John Gooch in New England 'The HISTORY OF A SURNAME with some account rj THE LINE OF JOHN GOOCH IN NEW ENGLAND Compiled Jrom tht records of the late SAMUEL HENFIELD GOOCH BY FRANK AUSTIN GOOCH NEW HAVEN: PRlNTED FOR THE AUTHOR 1926 COPYRIGHT r-926 BY F.tL,:-;-K AcsTJN Goocn 'l'HE TVTTLE, MOREHOUSE & TAYLOR COMP .... NY, Nli:W ffAVEN, CONN~ In affectionate remembrance of my late uncle, Samuel Henfield Gooch, I have attempted to cast in concise and permanent form some of the data bearing upon our Gooch lineage in Xew England which are represented with greater fulness in his elaborate manuscript yolumes. To these I have had access through the courtesy of his son, my cousin, Arthur Malcolm Gooch. \Vith whimsical and characteristic humor, my uncle pasted upon the coyer of his first compilation of family genealogy a design ( and an inscribed motto, evidently in his opinion pertinent) which might be blazoned- AR:11s: Cpon a field argent a potato-vine foliated proper. MOTTO: The best part under ground. That is the authorization for my preliminary account of the origin and development of the Gooch name.

Page 125 PART I THE GOOCH NAME IN NORMANDY AND BRITAIN THE GOOCH NAME IN NORMANDY AND BRITAIN OCCURRENCE AND VARIANTS OF THE SURNAME GOOCH \Vith a history older than that of most surnames and traceable in Britain to a time antecedent to the Norman Conquest, and in Normandy to that descent from the North which resulted in the establishment of the duchy of Normandy, the surname Goocu has never been in very common use. It has been known in England in several variant forms of similar sound-Goch, Goche, Googe, Gouge, Goodge, Gouch, Goudge, Gutch, and Gough which in parts of England still has the pronunciation of Googe, not Goff. The frequency of occurrence in England in recent times, stated in terms of the integral numbers proportional to every ten thousand of population, has been given as IS for Norfolk county, with no numbers stated for other counties.1 The variant Gough occurs more frequently, especially in the counties toward the border of \Vales; and other variants appear less fre­ quently. In certain directories compiled for years in the third quarter of the nineteenth century the occurrence of Gooch, Gough, and Gutch, is given as follows :2 Gooch: London, 21, 3, o, ro; Norfolk, 8; West Riding, r. Gough: Shropshire, 29; \Viltshire, 27; Buckinghamshire, 20; Herefordshire, 20. Gut ch: Yorkshire, 2. As to the frequency of the name in earlier times, some data are also at hand. In about 19,650 references to surnames contained in printed registers of 778 parishes for the year 1601, and in about 20,500 similar references for the year r6o2, the occurrences are as follows :3 For 16o1: Gooch, none; Gough (Middlesex), 3; Goughe (Shropshire), :z2. For 1602: Gooch, none; Gough (Middlesex), 8; Goughe (Shropshire), 17, 25, :z7, 35, Gough (Shropshire), 41, 42. Phonetically similar forms of the surname within a single county are given in the following list of persons possessing land or goods to the annual tax­ value of fr or more, in several hundreds of the county of Suffolk for the year 1568.4 But just how many individuals are represented in the reduplica­ tion of the given names-the nine Johns, three Robe1is, four Thomases, and seven Williams-is, of course uncertain. 1 Homes of Family Names in Great Britain: Henry Brougham Guppy, 1890. 2 A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames : Charles Wareing Bardsley. • References to English Surnames: F.

There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence.

  • DISSERTATION-Submission Reformatted
    The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 By Robert Lee Harkins A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor David Bates Fall 2013 © Robert Lee Harkins 2013 All Rights Reserved 1 Abstract The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 by Robert Lee Harkins Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair This study examines the problem of religious and political obedience in early modern England. Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

E.NEW YORK .Lie LIBRARY rs526390 Copyright 1901 by Edgar Woods. • -• THE MicHiE Company, Printers, Charlottesville, Va. 1901. PREFACE. An examination of the records of the county for some in- formation, awakened curiosity in regard to its early settle- ment, and gradually led to a more extensive search. The fruits of this labor, it was thought, might be worthy of notice, and productive of pleasure, on a wider scale. There is a strong desire in most men to know who were their forefathers, whence they came, where they lived, and how they were occupied during their earthly sojourn. This desire is natural, apart from the requirements of business, or the promptings of vanity. The same inquisitiveness is felt in regard to places. Who first entered the farms that checker the surrounding landscape, cut down the forests that once covered it, and built the habitations scattered over its bosom? With the young, who are absorbed in the engagements of the present and the hopes of the future, this feeling may not act with much energy ; but as they advance in life, their thoughts turn back with growing persistency to the past, and they begin to start questions which perhaps there is no means of answering.

  • Adopted Central Lincolnshire Local Plan
    CENTRAL LINCOLNSHIRE Local Plan Adopted April 2017 Central Lincolnshire | Local Plan - Adopted April 2017 Foreword Ensuring a flourishing future for Central Lincolnshire Central Lincolnshire is characterised by its diverse and enticing landscape. The magnificent city of Lincoln is embedded within our beautiful landscape and is surrounded by a network of picturesque towns and villages: these places, along with the social and economic opportunities in the area, make Central Lincolnshire a fantastic place to live, work and visit. But there is so much potential to make Central Lincolnshire an even better place. An even better place to live, with quality homes people can afford, easier access to shops, services and facilities, and new thriving communities, which are welcoming and safe. An even better place to work, where new facilities and infrastructure mean that businesses choose to expand or relocate here, bringing jobs and stimulating investment. An even better place to visit, a place where people choose to come to enjoy our nature, our history, our shops, our eateries and attractions, while at the same time significantly contributing to our rural and urban economies. A new Local Plan for Central Lincolnshire can do this. This is the adopted Local Plan for Central Lincolnshire. It was prepared with the benefit of your very helpful comments we received at various draft stages. Inside this adopted Local Plan are policies for the growth and regeneration of Central Lincolnshire over the next 20 years and beyond, including sites allocated for development and other areas designated for protection. The policies within the Local Plan will make sure that our settlements grow in the right way, ensure we have homes and employment where we need them, and ensure our new communities are sustainable, accessible and inclusive.

  • North East Lincolnshire's Historic Settlement Archaeological
    North East Lincolnshire’s Historic Settlement Archaeological Consultation Areas Introduction This document is intended to act as an explanation of the archaeological consultation areas based upon historic settlement cores used within the planning system. There are 33 known and located historic settlements within the modern Borough, all of which will have some form of archaeological deposit still present. However in some areas disturbance by modern development, along with there being little land left to build on, means that it is unlikely that any deposits of significance will be disturbed during normal building works. Both the settlement areas, or cores, are shown in map format along with the areas where the archaeological officer will be consulted on planning applications. These settlements date back to at least the medieval period (11th to 16th centuries) although most have earlier origins. They will all contain archaeological deposits of some kind which are important for understanding the growth and development of the towns and villages of the area, as well as feeding into regional and national data. Brief etymological, geographical, geological and morphological descriptions are given for each parish and the settlements within them where they are known. This information is based upon various sources listed at the end of this document. A very brief description of the archaeological character of each settlement is then given, based upon prior work in the settlement itself, or by comparison with similar settlements if little or no work has been carried out in the settlement itself. Methodology Mapping - The areas of known settlement were mapped as MapInfo Tab files using the Ordnance Survey 1st edition maps of 1887-9 as a basis.

The Ohio State University, Ph.D., 1961 Language and Literature, modern University Microfilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan THE TUDOR TRANSLATIONS OP CICERO'S DE OFFICIIS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By John Butler Gabel, B. A., M. A., A. M. ****** The Ohio State University 1961 Approved by Adviser Department of Ehglis7 PREFACE The purpose of this dissertation is to throw light on the sixteenth-century English translations of De Offioiis, one of Cicero’s most popular and most influential works. The dissertation first surveys the history and reputation of the Latin treatise to I600 and sketchs the lives of the English translators. It then establishes the facts of publication of the translations and identifies the Latin texts used in them. Finally it analyzes the translations themselves— their syntax, diction, and English prose style in general— against the background of the theory and prac­ tice of translation in their respective periods. I have examined copies of the numerous editions of the translations in the Folger Shakespeare Library, the Library of Congress, and the libraries of the Ohio State University and the University of Illinois. I have also made use of films of copies in the British Museum and the Huntington Library. I have indicated the location of the particular copies upon which the bibliographical descrip­ tions in Chapter 3 are based.

THORNTON HEREAS the importance for the study of eleventh-century English Whistory of William the Conqueror’s great land survey known, since the twelfth century, as ‘Domesday Book’ hardly needs stating, its value as a source for the history of Wales during the same period is perhaps less self-evident.1 True, Welsh historians from Sir John Lloyd onwards have drawn on the survey for their historical reconstructions, but most of these studies have tended to ‘sample’ Domesday Book in order to supplement information drawn from their other – main – primary sources. While there are notable exceptions to this rule, a thorough analysis of Wales and Welshmen in Domesday Book per se remains to be undertaken.2 My purpose in the present paper is to make a contribution towards redressing this historiographical deficiency,3 by offering a prosopo- graphical analysis of the Welsh individuals who occur in Domesday Book and especially those who occur before the Norman Conquest – that is, tempore regis Edwardi, or TRE as it is usually indicated in the text itself. The starting point is the data presented in Table 12.1 below: that is, a total of seventy-nine entries 1 In this paper I shall cite Domesday Book from Farley’s edition, which employs the folios of the original manuscripts: Domesday Book seu Liber Censualis Willelmi Primi Regis Angliae, ed. Abraham Farley, 2 vols. (London, 1783), hereafter DB. Farley’s text is most readily available in the so-called ‘Phillimore’ edition and translation, which also uses a more specific means of locating entries: Domesday Book.
