[[Project:Canada|Canada Project]] =Official symbols of Canada= Over the past century, the following symbols have been formally adopted by the Government of Canada and are now considered official symbols of our country. ==The beaver== The beaver was given official status as an emblem of Canada when “An Act to provide for the recognition of the Beaver (Castor canadensis) as a symbol of the sovereignty of Canada” received royal assent on March 24, 1975. However, the beaver was a part of the Canadian identity long before Parliament passed the National Symbol of Canada Act. ===Historical significance of the beaver=== After the early European explorers realized Canada was not the spice-rich Orient, the main profit-making attraction was the beaver population. In the late 1600s and early 1700s, the fashion of the day demanded fur hats, which needed beaver pelts. As these hats became more popular, the demand for the pelts grew. King Henry IV of France saw the fur trade as an opportunity to acquire much-needed revenue and to establish a North American empire. Both English and French fur traders were soon selling beaver pelts in Europe at 20 times their original purchase price. The trade of beaver pelts proved so profitable that many Canadians felt compelled to pay tribute to the buck-toothed animal. * [[Alexander-642|Sir William Alexander]], who was granted title to Nova Scotia in 1621, was the first to include the beaver in a coat of arms. * The Hudson’s Bay Company put four beavers on the shield of its coat of arms in 1678 to show how important the hard-working rodent was to the company. * A coin was created – which was known as a “buck” – that was equal to the value of one male beaver pelt. * Louis de Buade de Frontenac, Governor of New France in 1678, suggested the beaver would be a suitable emblem for the colony – and proposed it be included in the coat of arms of the City of Québec. * The French Kebeca Liberata medal, created in 1690 to celebrate France’s successful defence of the City of Québec, depicts the image of a seated woman (representing France) with a beaver at her feet (representing Canada). * When the City of Montréal was incorporated in 1833, it included the beaver’s image in its coat of arms. * Sir Sandford Fleming featured the beaver on the first Canadian postage stamp – the Three Penny Beaver – in 1851. * Le Canadien, a newspaper published in Lower CanadaLower Canada was a British colony on the lower Saint Lawrence River and the shore of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence (1791-1841). It covered the southern portion of the modern-day Province of Quebec and the Labrador region of the modern-day Province of Newfoundland and Labrador., featured the beaver in its masthead. * The Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste included the beaver in one of its emblems for a time. * The Canadian Pacific Railway company still includes the beaver on its crest today. Despite this recognition, the beaver was close to extinction by the mid-19th century. There were an estimated six million beavers in Canada before the start of the fur trade. During its peak, 100,000 pelts were being shipped to Europe each year; the Canadian beaver was in danger of being wiped out. Luckily, about that time, Europeans took a liking to silk hats and the demand for beaver pelts all but disappeared. Today, thanks to conservation and silk hats, the beaver – the largest rodent in Canada – is alive and well all over the country. ==The Coat of Arms== In the Middle Ages, coats of arms served as a sort of identification card. This was especially true on the battlefield where coat of arms made it possible to distinguish allies from enemies. Today, they are used to preserve traditions and inspire love of country. The Canada Coat of Arms, or Arms of Canada, were originally adopted by proclamation of His Majesty King George V in 1921. In 1994, a circular, red ribbon was added to the arms – displaying the motto of the Order of Canada: Desiderantes Meliorem Patriam. The English translation of the Latin text is “They desire a better country”, which is taken from the Epistle to the Hebrews (New Testament) 11:16. ===Design of the Canada Coat of Arms=== The present design of the Arms of Canada was drawn by Mrs. Cathy Bursey-Sabourin, Fraser Herald of ArmsFraser Herald of Arms is the title of one of the officers of arms at the Canadian Heraldic Authority in Ottawa. at the Canadian Heraldic Authority Heraldry is the profession, study, or art of creating, granting, and blazoning arms and ruling on questions or rank or protocol, as exercised by an officer of arms., office of the Governor General of Canada. It faithfully depicts the arms described in the Royal Proclamation of November 21, 1921. The design includes: * symbols of the four founding nations of Canada featured on the shield: the three royal lions of England, the royal lion of Scotland, the royal fleur-de-lis of France, and the royal Irish harp of Tara; * the lion of England holding the Royal Union Flag and the unicorn of Scotland carrying the flag of Royal France; * the floral emblems of the four founding nations: the English rose, the Scottish thistle, the French fleur-de-lis, and the Irish shamrock; * the Royal Crown at the top, indicating that these are the Arms of Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, commonly called the “Canada Coat of Arms”, the “Coat of Arms of Canada”, the “Arms of Canada” or the “Royal Coat of Arms of Canada”. ===Where you find the Canada Coat of Arms=== The Canada Coat of Arms are used on federal government possessions like buildings, official seals, money, passports, proclamations and publications. They are also reproduced on the rank badges of some members of the Canadian Armed Forces. The Arms of Canada are also used by federal institutions, including the Supreme Court of Canada, the Federal Court of Canada and the Tax Court of Canada to symbolize their judicial independence from the Government of Canada. ===The motto=== The heraldic practice of attaching an inscription – or appropriate sentiment – to a coat of arms or a crest has been honoured by the Dominion of Canada and eight of the 10 provinces. While none of the territories has a motto, many municipalities have their own. The motto of the Dominion of Canada is A Mari Usque Ad Mare which is officially translated as “From Sea to Sea” and “D’un océan à l’autre ”. The phrase comes from the Latin translation of Psalm 72:8 in the Bible. ==The Maple Leaf Tartan== The Maple Leaf Tartan was declared an official national symbol on March 9, 2011. Created in 1964 by David Weiser, the Maple Leaf Tartan was designed in anticipation of the 100th anniversary of Canada’s confederation in 1967. Inspired by the colours of the maple leaf through the changing seasons, the tartan’s pattern incorporates the green of summer leaves, the gold of early autumn, the red of the first frost and finally, the brown tones of the fallen leaves before winter. The Maple Leaf Tartan is used by The Royal Canadian Regiment Pipes and Drums, and has also been worn by the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Battalions. A symbol of national pride, the tartan was designed to be worn by Canadians from all backgrounds – regardless of their ancestry – especially on national days like Canada Day (July 1) and Tartan Day (April 6). ==The maple tree== Although the maple leaf is closely associated with Canada, the maple tree was not officially recognized as Canada's arboreal emblem until 1996. Of the 150 known species of maple (genus Acer), only 13 are native to North America. Ten of these grow in Canada: the sugar, black, silver, bigleaf, red, mountain, striped, Douglas, vine and Manitoba maples. At least one of the 10 species grows naturally in every province. Canada’s arboreal emblem is the generic maple species. Trees have played a meaningful role in the historical development of Canada and continue to be of commercial, environmental and aesthetic importance. Maples contribute valuable wood products and sustain the maple sugar industry; they are ideal for promoting Canada as a world leader in the sustainable management of forests. ==The national anthem== “O Canada” was proclaimed Canada’s national anthem on July 1, 1980, one century after it was first sung in the City of Québec on June 24, 1880. The music was composed by Calixa Lavallée, a well-known composer born in Verchères, Canada EastCanada East was what became of the former colony of Lower Canada after being united into the Province of Canada. It became the Province of Quebec after confederation, in 1867.. French lyrics to accompany the music were written by Adolphe-Basile Routhier, a poet and judge born in Saint-Placide, Lower Canada. Many English versions have appeared over the years. The version on which the official English lyrics are based was written in 1908 by Robert Stanley Weir, a poet born in Hamilton, Ontario. ==The national flag== With its distinctive maple leaf, Canada’s red and white flag is easily recognized around the globe. The adoption of the national flag in 1965 was the result of many years of discussion, thousands of designs and a heated debate in Parliament. The search for a new Canadian flag began in 1925, when a committee of the Privy Council began to look into potential designs. In 1946, a parliamentary committee examined more than 2,600 submissions – but members could not agree on a new design. As the Centennial of Confederation approached, Parliament increased its efforts to choose a new flag. On February 15, 1965, the National Flag of Canada was raised for the first time over Parliament Hill. The red-white-red pattern is based on the flag of the Royal Military College of Canada and the ribbon of the Canada General Service Medal of 1899, a British decoration given to those who defended Canada in 19th-century battles. The leaf has 11 points, and the flag’s proportions are two by length and one by width. The anniversary of our flag’s adoption is observed across the country on February 15, which is known as National Flag of Canada Day. ==The national horse== While the Canadian horse was declared by Parliament to be Canada’s national breed in 1909, it was not until May 2002 that it was recognized as the national horse of Canada by Act of Parliament. The origins of the Canadian horse date back to 1665. At that time, the King of France sent horses from the royal stables to New France – the Norman and Breton horses were of mixed origin and included Arabian, Barb and Andalusian horses. Over the next century, the horse population of New France developed in isolation from other breeds, gradually becoming a breed of its own – the Canadian horse. The Canadian horse is known for its great strength and endurance, resilience, intelligence and good temper. Threatened with extinction in the late 19th century, efforts were made in the late 1800s and throughout the 20th century to preserve the distinctive Canadian horse. ==The national sports== The Parliament of Canada declared ice hockey as the national winter sport and lacrosse as the national summer sport when it passed the National Sports of Canada Act on May 12, 1994. == The national colours == Red and white became Canada’s official colours as a result of the proclamation of the Canada Coat of Arms by King George V in 1921. However, the history of the official colours dates back to the First Crusade in the 11th century. Bohemond I, a Norman lord, had red crosses cut from cloaks and distributed to 10,000 crusaders. The crusaders wore the crosses on their clothes as a distinguishing mark, since they had no uniform to identify them. In later crusades, each nation was identified by a cross of a different colour. For a long time, France used a red cross on its banners, while England carried a white cross. In the course of history, red and white alternated as the national colours of France and England. == Sources == * http://canada.pch.gc.ca/eng/1444070816842

This is a Research page for the [[Space:Cannell_Name_Study|Cannell One Name Study]] ===Where Does the Surname Cannell Come From=== There is a large concentration of those with the Cannell surname in the Isle of Man. In the British census of 1841, there were a total of 1175 people carrying the Cannell surname. Of these slightly over half (624) were living in the Isle of Man, and many of those on the mainland are also likely to have had origins there. The concentration is strongest, and the presence longest established in the parish of Kirk Michael. The earliest surviving Manx land records (from the 1490s) show three different Cannell households holding land there. Early Y-DNA testing suggests that all of the Manx Cannells descend from a common ancestor (who was probably born in the 1200-1450 timeframe), and that he or his ancestors originated from the British mainland. There is a separate, but smaller cluster of Cannells in Britain, particularly from Norfolk. It is unclear whether these are related to the Manx Cannells. Y-DNA testing of a Cannell man of such ancestry would allow us to determine this. ===How Common is the Surname Cannell===

==DNA Projects== There are two DNA projects related to the Cannell surname at [https://www.familytreedna.com Family Tree DNA]. The [https://www.familytreedna.com/group-join.aspx?Group=Cannell Cannell] project seeks to explain the relatedness and origins of all Cannell families. All participants are welcome. The [https://www.familytreedna.com/project-join-request.aspx?group=Isle_of_Man Manx Y-DNA] project is seeking to identify the early male genetic origins of indigenous Manx families, including the surnames Cannell and its derivatives.

''"Why pears? The arms (i.e. the depictions placed in the central shield in a coat of arms) used by Perrot family members for at least 600 years is described as "gules three pears or on a chief argent a demi-lion rampant issuant sable armed and langued gules"- 3 golden pears on a red background, below a silver area with the top half of a black lion standing on his hind legs, & showing a red tongue.

As arms came into common use, one of the predominant ways designs were chosen was to pick objects that phonetically resembled the name of the bearer. In this case, a golden pear (pear or) sounds like the French pronunciation of Perrot, the 't' of which is silent. This was known as canting arms, and the Perrot arms are a good example of a very useful practice in days when literacy was rare.

Along with the arms of the 3 pears, the family motto was "Amo ut invenio" - 'I love to discover' or 'I love as I find.' Here are some [http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~parrott/genealogy/perrott-coats.shtml sample coats], showing the different ways the traditional Perrot shield and crest were incorporated into the coats of arms of different Perrot individuals across the ages. The 3-pear design supplanted the original family design, described as Quarterly, per fess, indented or and azure. That is, divided into fourths in gold and blue, with a saw-toothed edge separating the upper and lower halves. See examples of designs used by Perrott families.

== Welcome to Cantwells in Ireland (1200-1600) == The Cantwells were an Anglo-Norman family who arrived in Ireland at the end of the 1100s and settled mainly in counties Tipperary and Kilkenny. They are the ancestors of most of the Irish-diaspora Cantwells around the world today. To keep this project manageable, our focus is on the years 1200-1600. The likely "gateway ancestor" in Ireland was [[Cantwell-794|Hugh Cantwell]], of Norman origin but born in Suffolk, England, ca.1145. Main goals of this project: *to figure out the '''pedigree of the different Cantwell branches''', including the 2 main landowning arms: **County Kilkenny: In the 1200s, this branch settled mainly in the baronies of Gowran and Knocktopher. By the 1500s they were known as the '''"Cantwells of [https://www.townlands.ie/kilkenny/gowran/rathcoole/rathcoole/sandfordscourt/ Cantwellscourt]".''' The most famous member, [[Cantwell-149|Thomas Cantwell]] (ca.1550-1606), was a close ally of [[Butler-2414|Thomas]], 10th Earl of Ormond. **County Tipperary: In the late 1400s, this branch became known as the '''"Cantwells of [https://www.townlands.ie/tipperary/moycarky2/ Moykarky]".''' They also possessed lands near Ballingarry (Barony of Slievardagh), and many were buried in Kilcooly Abbey.

CarriganReferring to Rev. William Carrigan, author of ''The History & Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory'' (1905) suggests that a [[Cantwell-794|Hugh Cantwell]] arrived with [[Clare-645|Strongbow]] [d.1176] but it was in 1192 that a Gilbert Cantwell was granted Drom (Kenelfenelgille) in north Tipperary by [[FitzWalter-137|Theobald Walter]] [1st Chief Butler of Ireland] and amongst the witnesses was a Thomas Cantwell. A Walter Cantwell was also a witness to another chatter by Theobald Walter around the same time. As well as Drom, Gilbert held 2 knights fees in Kilfane of the bishop of Ossory in Gowran, Co. Kilkenny, another Butler fief. *In 1210 the Cantwells of England also held a quarter fee of the Butler Honour of Lancaster. This link, if it predated the Butlers' arrival in Ireland in 1185, may explain how the Cantwells came to hold their Irish lands from him rather than Strongbow." *It may be that [the same] Gilbert was heir to the English lands for a Gilbert certainly held them in 1210. He must have spent considerable time in England -- as the bishop of Ossory, believing him to be dead, seized his fee of Kilfane. A letter from the king was needed confirming that Gilbert was alive and in his service before Gilbert could recover seisin. He must have left Drom in the hands of '''his brother, Walter,''' as an entry in the Register of Kells described Walter as the lord of Drom (Drummacbarran), even though Gilbert was still alive. *"In 1244, an inquisition postmortem decided that the next heir to the English estate was Amabilia, daughter of Walter Cantwell. In the same year, the king bought the manor of Kentwell, Suffolk from William fitzHugh and wife Amabilia. As the money was to be paid by Irish treasurer, it would appear that this Walter was the same as the Walter Cantwell who held Drom for Gilbert. Walter's daughter and heiress, Amabilia, was married to a William fitzHugh so Drom would have passed out of the Cantwell family to any fitzHugh children, or reverted to the Butler lords to be regranted." *"Either Gilbert or Walter may have granted Kilfane to Thomas, probably another brother. The fact that Kilfane stayed in the Cantwell family after Drom was lost would suggest that Gilbert divided his Irish lands between two brothers. The head of the Cantwell family in Ireland was now Thomas with two knight fees in Kilfane, and also a half fee in Rathcool, both in the Butler cantred of Gowran, co. Kilkenny. A record of 1338 shows that a descendant of his, another Thomas Cantwell, held one and a half fees in Arra of the Butler manor of Nenagh but the date of the acquisition of this tenement is unknown." [the thesis author suggests pre-1313] *"Illegitimate sons born of English landowners were not eligible to inherit their father's lands, but '''Gaelic culture had a much more inclusive attitude''' to the family. They had sons by different wives. illegitimate sons and foster sons. There are signs that marcher lords also began to make provision for their illegitimate offspring." *"A family that put this into practice was certainly the Cantwell family. The Oxford [University] register notes 5 Cantwell entrants from Ireland in the late 14th and early 15th century. which must have been an expensive family investment. At least 3 of them were illegitimate. However. the investment paid off and [two of them] rose, consecutively, to position of archbishop of Cashel in the church. As they were both illegitimate, dispensation was needed for them to take holy orders. Further, '''it is clear that the latter of the two [referring to [[Cantwell-713|John Cantwell]] (ca.1424-1484)] fathered at least one son himself''' who seems to have inherited family lands, as it is believed that the Cantwells of Moycarky were direct descendents of the archbishop."

In the seminary of Santiago de Compostela, he occupied the vacant chair of philosophy, his presence there coinciding with that of the distinguished Jesuit, Richard Conway. In 1619 Conway became director of the Irish College in Seville, and Cantwell accompanied him in his new ministry. He was "known in Spanish sources as Miguel de Cantovilla or under his alias, Miguel de Morales. One profile focuses on "his many deals and negotiations ... his attempts to secure the lion's share of the much sought-after pension in Cádiz ... His career reveals the significance of royal patronage for the Irish religious community ... He prospered from serving as agent of the Irish bishops in Rome." [Circa 1620] "he travelled back to Ireland and began to work in Cashel, near his family estates. According to his own account, he built a house that served as a chapel for the Catholic community. By appealing to his relatives and by dipping into his own pocket, he was able to furnish it with everything needed for divine worship." He received a Doctor of Theology degree in 1631 from the University of Santo Tomás de Avila.

'''Erzählung über Sypke Geelts und seine Ehefrau Hilke Freerks (Habben).'''
Die Erzählung ist aus dem Internet-Auftritt des Dorfes [http://www.canum.de/ Canum]http://www.canum.de/

Canumer Kirchstraße 9

Um die Eigentumsübertragungen in diesem Artikel besser verstehen zu können, ist es hilfreich sich diese Skizze vor Augen zu halten. In diesem Artikel geht es um den Bereich innerhalb der heutigen Straßen Osterstraße, Zur Post, Canumer Kirchstraße und Norder Straße. Auf der Skizze sind diese Straßen mit den Nummer 1, 8, 9 und 4 versehen. Innerhalb des beschriebenen Gebietes stand früher ein Hof, dessen Wirtschaftsteil wahrscheinlich um 1891 abgebrochen wurde. Die Anlage des Hofes kann wiederum der Skizze entnommen werden. Der Wohnteil des Hofes begann direkt an der heutigen Canumer Kirchstraße, an den sich in Richtung der heutigen Osterstraße der Wirtschaftsteil anschloss.

Da nach dem Hypothekenbuch um 1750 zu diesem Hof 124 Grasen Land gehörten, dürfte hier um 1719 Dirk Eilers mit seiner Frau sowie 2 Knechten und 1 Magd gewohnt haben, weil in der Steuerliste 1719 in Canum nur ein Hof in exakt dieser Größe erwähnt wird. In dieser Steuerliste wird Dirk Eilers als Heuermann genannt. Damit war er nur Pächter des Hofes, nicht aber Eigentümer. Sein „Platz“ umfasste 124 Grasen, von denen infolge der Überflutungen nur 50 Grasen brauchbar waren. Im Kirchenbuch Canum, das erst 1729 beginnt, findet sich kein Hinweis zu dieser Familie. Ab 1727 lebte ein Dirk Eilers mit seiner Frau Tryntje Sibrants in Twixlum. Vielleicht handelt es sich um die gleichen Personen.

Ebenfalls in der Steuerliste 1719 wurde Jan Schwart als Eigner eines Hofes mit 124 ¼ Grasen Land genannt. Auch wenn die Größen der Höfe fast identisch sind, dürfte es sich um einen andern Hof handelt. Dennoch bleiben Unsicherheiten bei der hier angenommen Zuordnung.

Gemäß dem erst um 1750 beginnenden Hypothekenbuch war das Anwesen zu dieser Zeit im Eigentum eines Bürgermeisters Andree, des Pastoren Swartte aus Norden und einer Frau Remmers, ebenfalls aus Norden, als Erben der Frau „Capitainin“ Andree.
Demnach dürfte der Hof von Diurco Andree, dem Kapitän der ständischen Truppen in Emden und seiner Frau Anna Swarte gekauft worden sein. Dieses Paar hatte 1724 geheiratet; der Ehemann verstarb bereits 3 Jahre später. Wahrscheinlich war die Ehe kinderlos geblieben. Erben waren die genannten Personen; der Emder Bürgermeister Diurco Andree, ein Neffe des Kapitäns Diurco Andree und der Pastor Johann Swarte, ein Bruder der Anna Swarte. Das Verwandtschaftsverhältnis der dritten Erbin, der Frau Remmers, konnte nicht ermittelt werden. Die Beschreibung des Besitzes lautet im Hypothekenbuch: „Herd Landes groß 124 Grasen nebst Behausung, Viehe-Hauß, Scheune und Kohlgarten so dann Sitz-Stellen in der Kirchen und Gräber auf dem Kirchhofe. Der Wert wurde auf 7000 Gulden taxiert.“

Auffällig ist, dass im Gegensatz zu Schilderungen anderer Grundstücke im Hypothekenbuch in dieser Zeit keine angrenzenden Grundstück genannt werden. Möglicherweise kann man daraus schließen, dass der Hof um 1750 die gesamte von den Straßen mit heutigen Namen Osterstraße, Zur Post, Canumer Kirchstraße und Norder Straße umschlossene Gebiet innehatte.

Am 12. Dezember 1753 erfolgte durch eine öffentliche Versteigerung der Verkauf des Hofes an Hans Tonjes Brinkema und dessen Ehefrau Lamcke Egberts aus Emden für 4630 Gulden. Der darauf folgende Eigentümer war der Sohn dieses Paares Egbertus Hanssen Brinkema. Er war seit 1753 mit Christina Elisabeth Meiners, der Tochter des Emder Predigers Eduard Meiners, verheiratet.

Da sämtliche Eigentümer dieses Anwesens bis 1767 nicht in Canum wohnten, muss der Hof in dieser Zeit verpachtet gewesen sein. In einer Steuerliste um 1751/54 wird Poppe Daniels als Heuermann von „Pastor Swartten“ mit 124 Grasen aufgeführt. Er stammte aus Loquard und heiratete dort 1744 Steven Eilers, die aus Marienhafe stammte. Ab 1746 wohnte das Ehepaar in Canum.Hier wurden bis 1757 die Kinder Abbe, Daniel, Tomke, Meinke, Dirk, Eildert und Antie geboren. Danach verzog die Familie nach Woquard.

Vom nächsten Eigentümerwechsel hat sich der dazugehörige Kaufvertrag aus Emden vom 28. April 1767 erhalten (Staatsarchiv Aurich, Rep. 236, Nr. 486, S. 768 ff.). Egbertus Hanssen Brinkema, Kaufmann und Vierziger in Emden, verkaufte an Peter Janssen zu Canum und dessen Ehefrau Hebe Garrels seinen „ansehnlichen Heerd Landes, von Pastor Swart herrührend […] groß hundert vier und zwantzig Grase nebst dem dazugehörigen Hause Scheune und Garten mitten im Dorfe gelegen“. Hinzu kamen weitere 3 ½ Grasen am Breiten Weg, die der Vater des Verkäufers von der Stadt Emden gekauft hatte, was die Gesamtgröße des Hofes auf 127,5 Grasen erweitert hatte. Der Kaufpreis betrug 6.350 Gulden. Er wurde vereinbarungsgemäß in drei Raten bezahlt. Im Mai 1767 3000 Gulden und per Mai 1768 1350 Gulden. Die Restschuld von 2000 holl. Gulden wurden gegen 4 % Zinsen als Darlehen genommen. Beim nächsten Verkauf des Hofes wurde dann diese Schuld beglichen.

Interessant sind die im Vertrag genannten Grenzen des Grundstücks: „...im Norden an Franz Hinrichs Erben, im Osten am Dorfweg, im Süden an den Garten der Schulmeisterei und an „dem Kirchpfade über der Borgstede“ und im Westen am Dorfweg „woselbst die Dorn-Hecke steht“. Auf der bereits mehrfach erwähnten Skizze ist Osten in Richtung Freepsum.

Demnach war Franz Hinrichs ein Vorbesitzer des Grundstückes Norder Str. 3 und die Schulmeisterei (heute Zur Post 3) stand bereits 1767 an diesem Ort. Auf dem Hof lasteten drei „Canones“ (Abgaben). An den König mussten 16 Gulden, an die Canumer Pastorei etwas mehr als 5 Gulden und an Wilke Albers in Upleward 9 Gulden sowie eine Gebühr beim jeweiligen Besitzerwechsel gezahlt werden. Außerdem erhielt die Canumer Gemeinde wegen der „Borgstee“ 12 Stüber jährlich.

Möglicherweise war Peter Janssen vorher schon Pächter auf diesem Hof. Er kam bereits um 1758 mit seiner Familie aus Weenermoor nach Canum. Dort, d.h. in Weenermoor, hatte er 1743 Hebe Garrelts geheiratet und dort wurden auch die folgenden Kinder geboren: Jan, Aaltje, Garrelty, Jantje (Jannetie) (gest. 1770), Geeske, Grietje und Jakob. Weitere Kinder kamen ab 1759 in Canum zur Welt: Eildert (gest. als Kleinkind), Doodje (gest. als Kleinkind), Doodie und Eildert. Die Kinder führten später den Familiennamen Sparringa. Lange konnte sich Peter Janssen seines Besitzes nicht erfreuen, bereits am 12. Dezember 1775 verstarb er an einer Fieberkrankheit im Alter von 59 Jahren. Nur 9 Tage später erlag auch seine Frau einer Wassersucht. Sie wurde 52 Jahre alt und mit ihrem Ehemann am 26. Dezember beerdigt.

Im März des darauffolgenden Jahres wurde der Hof dann erneut verkauft. Als Verkäufer fungierten die erwachsenen Kinder des Peter Janssen sowie Ihne Nannen und Harm Siebrands als Vormünder der jüngeren Kinder. Der Wert des Anwesens wurde auf 16.750 Gulden taxiert. Die Beschreibung lautete jetzt: „Bestehet die schöne Behausung, welche vor einigen Jahren neu gebaut ist, aus einer Küche, Kammer, Keller, Waschhaus, Regenwaßers Backe, Scheune und genugsame Stallungen für Vieh, alles regelmäßig eingerichtet, wozu gehöret ein großer Obst und Küchen Garten, worunter mit begriffen den Grund so anstat der Burgstellen hieran gezogen“. Als Grenzen werden genannt: im Osten, Norden und Westen an den „Loges Weg“, im Süden an die Burgstelle und Meisterei Grund.“ Daraus dürfte zu schließen sein, dass das Grundstück Norder Straße 3 (Ecke Canumer Kirchstraße und Norder Straße) jetzt Bestandteil dieses Anwesens war und das die „Burgstelle“ nicht mehr zum Hof gehörte.

Am 28. März 1776 ersteigerte Claas Geelts den Hof für 17.150 Gulden. Er stammte aus Pilsum und war unverheiratet. Möglicherweise lebte er mit seiner ebenfalls unverheirateteten Schwester Grietie Geelts zusammen, die bereits 1783 in Canum verstarb. Zwei Jahre später wurde auch ihr Bruder begraben. Er wurde 56 Jahre alt.

Gemäß seinem Testament vom 21. August 1784 erbten mit Geelt, Freerk und Antje Sypkes die Kinder seines Bruders [[Geelts-1|'''Sypke Geelts''']] den Besitz. [[Geelts-1|'''Sypke Geelts''']] hatte 1773 in Pilsum [[Frercks-1|'''Hilke Freerks Habben''']] (geboren in Loquard) geheiratet. Bis um 1779 lebte die Familie in Pilsum, später in Visquard. Hier verstarb [[Geelts-1|'''Sypke Geelts''']] im Jahre 1782. Seine [[Frercks-1|'''Witwe''']] scheint danach mit ihren Kindern nach Canum (zu ihrem Schwager?) gekommen zu sein. [[Frercks-1|'''Hilke Habben''']] heiratete 1787 in zweiter Ehe Peter Harms (siehe Canumer Kirchstraße 12). Der Sohn [[Sypkes-1|'''Freerk Habben Sypkes''']] wohnte mit seiner Familie im [[Space:Canum_Muehlenring_5_und_7|Mühlenring 5/7]] . Sein Bruder Geelt Habben Sypkes (Siepkes) heiratete 1815 in Pewsum Elske Betten. Die Familie lebte möglicherweise im Hamrich zwischen Canum und Pewsum. Das Paar hatte zwei Töchter, von denen Antje mit gut 2 Jahren verstarb. Die andere Tochter Hilke Geelts Sypkes lebte später auf einem Hof im Canumer Hamrich.

Unklar bleibt, wer den Hof nach dem Tode des [[Geelts-1|'''Sypke Geelts''']] bewirtschaftet hat. Erst ab 1818 wohnte Garrelt Arends van Hettinga mit seiner Familie in Canum. Er stammte aus Larrelt und hatte 1803 in Larrelt Antje Habben Sypkes, die Nichte und Miterbin von Claas Geelts, geheiratet. Das Paar wohnte zunächst in Larrelt und Wybelsum. Dort wurden 8 Kinder geboren, zwei Kinder verstarben im Kleinkind-Alter und drei Söhne wurden tot geboren oder starben am Tage der Geburt. Mit den Söhnen Siepke, Geelt und Arend kam die Familie nach Canum. Hier kam das letzte Kind dieser Ehe - Albert - 1818 zur Welt, aber auch er starb vor Erreichung des 3. Lebensjahres. Sieben Jahre später wurde Antje Habben Sypkes zu Grabe getragen. Sie wurde nur knapp 43 Jahre alt. Das Kirchenbuch nennt als Todesursache „Teering“ (Auszehrung). Im Jahre 1832 erlag dann der Sohn Geelt im Alter von 20 Jahren der Schwindsucht. Garrelt Arends van Hettinga war gemäß dem Kirchenbuch Canum „Huisman, Landbesitzer und Kirchvogt“. Er wurde 1851 in Canum beerdigt. Seine beiden Söhne lebten als Erwachsene nicht in Canum. Siepke heiratete 1838 in Hamswehrum Antje Smid und Arend schloss 1833 in Pilsum eine Ehe mit Tetje Rieken Lucassen.

Die Eigentumsverhältnisse in den nächsten Jahren konnten noch nicht ermittelt werden. Nach dem Brandkassen-Register scheint der Herzog v. Arenberg vor 1878 den Hof gekauft zu haben. Im Register des Katasteramtes fehlt diese Angabe hingegen. Dort werden 1872 die Erben des Landwirts [[Á_Tellinghuisen-1|'''Samuel Tellinghuisen''']] als Eigentümer genannt. Diese Erben werden in den Unterlagen der Brandkasse erst ab 1884 als Besitzer aufgeführt. [[Á_Tellinghuisen-1|'''Samuel à Tellinghuisen''']] war Eigentümer des [[Space: Canum_Norder_Strasse_mittlerer_Hof|mittleren Hofes]] in der Norder Straße. Er hinterließ bei seinem Tod im Jahre 1863 seine Witwe [[Siepkes-3|'''Juste Nannen Sypkes''']] und eine Tochter namens Elizabeth sowie einen Sohn namens Weert (Wyert) Samuels à Tellinghuisen.

Weert wird im Kirchenbuch Canum als Landwirt bezeichnet, demnach dürfte er diesen Hof bewirtschaftet haben. Er wurde 1842 geboren und heiratete mit 30 Jahren Nikolasina Albertina Cornelia Knottnerus, eine Tochter des Borkumer Pastoren Wesselius Knottnerus. Dem Paar wurden ab 1873 in Canum vier Kinder geboren, die sehr klangvolle Namen erhielten: Justine Louise Adelaide, Wiard Nicolaus Albert, Johanna Victoria Elizabeth und Diedrich Georg Franz. Nach der Geburt des letzten Kindes verzog die Familie nach Groothusen. Hier kam 1883 noch eine Tochter Georgina zur Welt. Im Jahre 1887 verstarb die Mutter der Kinder. Der Vater wanderte später mit seinen Kindern in die USA aus. Dort verheirateten sich zwei seiner Kinder mit den Kindern des ebenfalls aus Canum stammenden Dirk Edzen Aukes (siehe Mühlenring 5/7 und der Rubrik Auswanderer).

Die nächste Bewohnerin des Hofes dürfte Elizabeth, die Schwester von Weert à Tellinghuisen gewesen sein. Sie heiratete 1865 in Canum den aus Visquard stammenden Schullehrer Albert Wilken Dirksen. Das Paar zog nach Manslagt, dort kamen vier Kinder zur Welt: Justine Elise, Gretha Wilhelmine Herlyn, Wilhelmine Ernestine und Albert Wiard Ernst. Nach nur 13-jähriger Ehe wurde Albert Dirksen im Jahre 1878 in Manslagt beerdigt. Danach scheint Elizabeth mit ihren Kindern nach Canum zurückgekehrt zu sein. Sowohl in den Registern des Katasteramtes als auch in den Listen der Brandkasse wird die Witwe Elisabeth Dirksen geb. à Tellinghuisen als Eigentümerin genannt.

Nach den Aufzeichnungen der Brandkasse wurde der Scheunenteil des Hofes vor 1892 abgebrochen, so dass nur das Wohnhaus stehen blieb. Elisabeth Dirksen war 70 Jahre alt, als sie 1916 in Canum begraben wurde. Ihre Tochter Gretha Wilhelmine Herlyn Dirksen heiratete 1887 den Schullehrer Boye Christian Müller und lebte danach in Logumer Vorwerk. Deren Bruder Albert wurde Schullehrer in Emden. Er schloss 1900 in Oldendorp eine Ehe mit Swanette Rudolfine Dreesmann. Justine Elise Dirksen starb 1923 und ihre Schwester Wilhelmine Ernestine Dirksen 1950 in Canum. Beide waren unverheiratet. ==References==

Im Hypthekenbuch wird 1750/51 als Erstbesitzer für diesen ‚Heerd Landes’ mit 82 ½ Grasen der Baron v. Harholten genannt, der den Hof in Communion besitzt. Wahrscheinlich war der Besitz auch bereits um 1719 in den Händen auswärtiger Eigentümer, denn in der Steuerliste wird Jan Dirks als Heuermann von 82 ½ Grasen genannt. Durch die vorausgegangenen Sturmfluten sind von den Ländereien nur 21 Grasen brauchbar. Jan Dirks heiratete 1709 (Proklamation in Twixlum) Ide Onneken. Die Kirchenbücher von Canum beginnen erst mit dem Jahre 1729, somit bleibt unsicher, wie viele Kinder dieses Paar hatte.Geht man nach der damals üblichen Namensregel (Benennung der Kinder nach deren Großeltern), sollten Onke Janssen (siehe Mühlenring 9) und Eildert Janssen Söhne dieser Eheleute gewesen sein. Ide Onnekes dürfte 1733 verstorben sein, ihr Ehemann lebte noch bis 1743.

Nachfolger als Heuermann war der Sohn Eildert Janssen, denn er zahlte 1750 Steuern für 82 ½ Grasen Land. Eildert heiratete 1744 in Canum Elisabeth Cornelis aus Osterhusen. Dieser Ehe entstammen 9 Kinder, davon verstarben 5 innerhalb des ersten Lebensjahres. Es muß davon ausgegangen werden, dass die Pachtzeit von Eildert Janssen vor 1754 endete, denn in diesem Jahre wurde sein vorletztes Kind in Logumer Vorwerk geboren. Das letzte Kind wurde wiederum am 20.10.1757 in Canum registriert. Kurz danach – am 1.11. – verstarb Eildert Janssen in Canum. Die Steuerliste 1757 von Canum führt ihn als Tagelöhner auf, der ‚in Armuht gestorben und aus Armenmitteln begraben’ wurde. Im Kirchenbuch von Hage findet sich 1774 der Heiratsvertrag seines Sohnes Jan Dirks, dort Johan Dirks von Hoorn genannt, ‚des weiland Hausmanns zu Kanum Eilert von Hoorn, nachgelassener Sohn’ mit Hilke Catarina Lamberti. Die anderen Söhne Cornellius und Berent lebten später evtl. in Emden und nannten sich auch ‚van Hoorn’. Die Mutter der Kinder erreichte ein Alter von 74 Jahren. Sie wurde 1800 in Canum beerdigt; die Kosten dafür übernahm die Armenkasse.

Die nachfolgenden Pächter des Hofes sind nicht feststellbar. Neue Eigentümer wurden am 2.10.1764 Wolbert Albers (Ravenstein) und Marten Conrads. Sie kauften den Besitz ‚öffentlich’ für 4110 Gulden. Wahrscheinlich wurde der Hof zu dieser Zeit weiter durch Pächter bewirtschaftet, da beide Personen nicht im Kirchenbuch Canum genannt werden. Wolbert Alberts wohnte mit seiner Frau Aaltje Lubben in Groß-Midlum. Dort wurden seine Kinder geboren und dort ist er auch 1771 verstorben. Marten Conrads, der dreimal verheiratet war, lebte in Westerhusen und Freepsum. Aus seiner 1. Ehe mit Geeske Margareth Wilhelmius stammten die Söhne Wilhelmus Martens und Conrad Martens (* 1741 Westerhusen). Im Kirchenbuch Groß-Midlum wird Marten Conrads 1772 anläßlich seiner 3. Eheschließung als Bäcker bezeichnet. Sein Tod steht unter 1778 im Kirchenbuch Freepsum verzeichnet.

Am 3.7.1771 verkaufte Wolbert Alberts seine Hälfte des Besitzes für 2055 Gulden an Conrad Martens, so dass jetzt Vater und Sohn je zur Hälfte Eigentümer waren. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt dürfte Conrad Martens den Hof auch bewirtschaftet zu haben. Er heiratete 1771 in Groß-Midlum Jantje Geerds Bakker aus Simonswolde. In Canum wurden den Eheleuten zwei Kinder geboren. Die Tochter Geesche oder Geeske (* 1772) litt an der Epilepsie und verstarb im Alter von 27 Jahren. Der Sohn Marten (* 1775) wurde nur 4 Jahre alt. Die Mutter der Kinder verstarb gut 2 Monate nach der Geburt des letzten Kindes, Im Jahre 1776 heiratete Conrad Martens, der auch Kirchvogt in Canum war, in 2. Ehe Geeske Pieters. Diese wurde 1754 in Weenermoor geboren, kam aber mit ihren Eltern und Geschwistern um 1758 nach Canum. Aus dieser Ehe stammen 3 Kinder, die jedoch entweder tot geboren oder kurz nach der Geburt verstarben. Drei Tage nach der Geburt einer tot geborenen Tochter verschied auch die Mutter 1780 an den Folgen der Geburt. Conrad Martens schloß noch zwei weitere Ehen, die jedoch kinderlos blieben. Seine 3. Ehefrau hieß Jacomina Jansen Clemans, die Wwe. des Mimke Edden (siehe 3. Hof Norder Str./Osterstr.). Nach fast 22 jähriger Ehe verstarb Jacomina 1805. Danach heiratete Conrad Martens 1809 Johanna Maria Ottinga, die Wwe. des Kaufmanns Agge Heeren de Buur aus Emden. Möglicherweise ist das Paar in der Folgezeit nach Westerhusen verzogen, denn dort verschied Conrad Martens am 3.10.1813, drei Tage später wurde er dann in Canum beerdigt.

Nach dem Tode des Vaters von Marten Conrads 1778 war Conrad Martens ‚zur Hälfte von seinem Vater, zur anderen Hälfte mit seinem Bruder’ Eigentümer des Hofes geworden. Besitznachfolger wurden dann (nach dem Absterben von Conrad Martens) gemäß Hypotheken-Buch: Conrad Martens Wwe. Maria Ottinga und des Wilhelmus Martens Kinder Gesche, Berendje, Hilke und Marten Wilhelmus Goljenboom.

Vielleicht wurde der Hof zeitweise noch von Conrad Martens’ Nichte Berendje Wilhelmus Goljenboom und ihrem Ehemann Geerd Iderhoff bewohnt. Das Paar hatte 1806 in Logumer Vorwerk geheiratet. Der nächste Wohnort ist unbekannt, aber 1814 steht im Kirchenbuch Canum die Geburt ihres Sohnes Simon Geerdes verzeichnet. Beide Eheleute sind 1845 bzw. 1855 in Groß- Midlum verstorben.

Das Brandkassen-Register nennt 1823-1834 [[Sypkes-1|'''Freerk Sypkes''']] als nächsten Eigentümer. Möglicherweise war er aber schon vorher dort wohnhaft. [[Sypkes-1|'''Freerk Habben Sypkes''']] wurde 1777 in Visquard geboren. Er und seine beiden Geschwister erbten 1785 von ihrem Onkel Klaas Geelts den Hof in der Canumer Kirchstraße. Im Jahre 1804 heiratete er in Canum [[Heeren-37|'''Maria Sebens Ennen Heeren''']] (* 1784 in Upleward), eine Tochter aus der 1. Ehe von [[Heeren-39|'''Enno Garrelts Heeren''']], dem Eigentümer des Hofes Osterstraße 9. Das Paar bekam 7 Kinder, nur die Töchter Hilke, Elisabeth, [[Siepkes-2|'''Antje''']] und [[Siepkes-3|'''Juste Nannen Sypkes''']] erreichten das Erwachsenenalter. Irgendwann nach der Geburt des letzten Kindes 1821 und vor 1835 wurde die Ehe der Eltern geschieden. [[Sypkes-1|'''Freerk Sypkes''']] verstarb 1835 auf ‚Sternburg’ bei Emden und wurde in Canum beerdigt. Seine geschiedene Frau lebte noch bis zu ihrem Tode 1860 in Canum.

Zwischen 1838 und 1840 kam die Familie Aukes nach Canum. Ob sie die direkten Nachfolger auf diesem Hof waren, oder ob es noch einen anderen Eigentümer gegeben hat, ist nicht geklärt. Edze Berends Aukes und seine Frau Brechtje Reinders Bakker stammten beide aus Suurhusen. Dort fand auch ihre Eheschließung 1833 statt. Danach wohnte das Paar in Groß-Midlum. Hier wurden die Kinder Barber (* 1834), Jan (* 1836) und Siemen (* 1838) geboren. In Canum bekam die Familie noch folgenden Zuwachs: Reinder (* 1840), Klaas (* 1843), Grietje (* 1846), Dirk (* 1849), Eme (* 1852) und Janna (* 1855). Alle 9 Kinder dieser Familie überlebten die Kindheit. Ein Großteil davon wanderte später in die USA aus.

Edze Berends Aukes starb 1871 an einer Lungenentzündung im Alter von 69 Jahren. Nächster Besitzer des Hofes wurde sein Sohn Siemen Edzen Aukes. Er war mit Giesbertdina (Aukes) in kinderloser Ehe verheiratet. Die Ehefrau wurde 81 Jahre alt und verstarb 1915, Siemen Edzen Aukes lebte noch bis 1924. Im Kirchenbuch Canum hat der damalige Pastor Pleines 1924 einen langen Vermerk zum Tode von Siemen Aukes geschrieben.

'''Höfe in der Norder Straße (Norder Str. 2-4).'''

Der mittlere Hof.
Die erste bekannte Eigentümerin dieses Grundstücks war Hilcke Reiners, die Witwe des Harmen Luitjes. Im Hypothekenbuch steht: Harmen Luitjes Wwe. Hilcke Reiners besitzet zu Canum ein Hauß und Garten nebst 5 Gr. land und 4 Stücken Landen aus 13, 5, 9 und 4 Gr. daselbst (= insgesamt 36 Grasen Land). Sie hat den Besitz teils gekauft, teils ‚cedirt’ bekommen. Eine Lagebeschreibung aus späterer Zeit lautet: ein Haus mit Garten u. Warf schwettend im Osten an dem Heereweg, im Süden den gemeinen Pfad, im Westen Geerd M. de Boer, im Norden Harm S. Harms.
Als nächste Eigentümerin wird die Ehefrau des Jan van Hoorn genannt, die diesen Besitz ‚von ihren Eltern geerbt’. Sie dürfte also eine Tochter der oben genannten Eheleute gewesen sein. Sämtliche bisher genannten Besitzer dürften wohl nicht in Canum gewohnt haben. Jan van Hooren war Mitglied des Vierziger-Gremiums in Emden. Er war also in Emden ansässig. Demnach müßte der Hof durch Pächter bewirtschaftet worden sein.
Im Jahre 1759 wurde die Immobilie öffentlich verkauft. Der neue Eigentümer wurde Harm Siebrand Harms mit seiner Ehefrau Johanna Dwerhagen. Der Kaufpreis betrug 3700 Gulden. Harm Siebrands Harms stammte aus Westerhusen, seine Ehefrau Johanna oder Janna Dwerhagen wurde in Cirkwehrum als Tochter eines Pastoren geboren. Die Heirat fand 1758 in Westerhusen statt. Insgesamt hatte das Ehepaar 8 Kinder, davon verstarben 4 Kinder bereits in jungen Jahren oder wurden tot geboren. Die Töchter Swaantie, Eetie und Tabeta heirateten später in Canum, der Sohn Georg blieb Junggeselle. Harm S. Harms starb 1798 in Canum, sein einziger Sohn folgte ihm im Jahre 1816. Johanna Dweerhagen wurde über 85 Jahre alt und verschied 1820.
Erben des Hofes wurden die Töchter Eetie (oder Ettje) und Tabetha Harms Sybrands. Tabetha verkaufte ihre Hälfte an ihre Schwester Eetje Harms und deren Ehemann Samuel Eppen a Tellinghuizen. Dieses Ehepaar hatte 1795 in Canum geheiratet. Der Ehemann war ein Sohn von [[A_Tellinghuusen-1|'''Eppe Samuels a Tellinghusen''']] aus Canum. In den Jahren 1797, 1799 und 1805 wurden den Eheleuten Kinder geboren, die entweder tot zur Welt kamen oder am gleichen Tag wieder verstarben. Samuel Eppen a Tellinghuizen war lt. Kirchenbuch Zimmeramtsmeister und starb im Jahre 1832. Es ist also nicht sicher, ob er den Hof bewirtschaftet hat. Seine Wwe. lebte noch bis 1839.
Die Eigentümer der nächsten Jahre sind noch nicht einwandfrei ermittelt, im Jahre 1878 ist im Brandkassen-Register [[Á_Tellinghuisen-1|'''Samuel W. a Tellinghusen''']] als Besitzer eingetragen. Wahrscheinlich ist diese Jahresangabe falsch und ein Besitzerwechsel wurde nicht rechtzeitig dort eingetragen. Möglicherweise hat [[Á_Tellinghuisen-1| '''Samuel W. a Tellinghusen''']] den Hof geerbt, denn er war ein Neffe von Samuel Eppen a Tellinghuizen und ebenfalls Zimmermeister. [[Á_Tellinghuisen-1|'''Samuel Eppen Weerts a Tellinghusen''']] war seit 1840 mit [[Siepkes-3|'''Juste Nannen Siepkes''']] aus Canum verheiratet. Das Ehepaar hatte 3 Kinder, davon starb das jüngste Kind kurz nach der Geburt. Der Sohn Wyert oder Wert lebte später mit seiner Familie in Canum. Die Tochter Elizabeth heiratete 1865 in Canum den Manslagter Lehrer Albert Wilkens Dirksen. Der Vater dieser Geschwister verstarb 1863 in Canum, in seinem Todeseintrag steht als Beruf Landwirt. Seine Wwe. überlebte ihn um 37 Jahre.
Gemäß Hypothekenbuch war bereits 1874 der Herzog von Arenberg in Meppen Eigentümer dieses Hofes. Man könnte vermuten, dass hier ein Hof-Tausch vorgenommen wurde. Der Herzog von Arenberg war Besitzer eines Hofes in der Canumer Kirchstr., ab mind. 1884 werden dort [[Á_Tellinghuisen-1|'''Samuel a Tellinghuisen Erben''']] als Besitz-Nachfolger genannt. Ein Tausch macht insofern Sinn, als der Herzog bereits den Nachbarhof in der Norder Str. in Besitz hatte und eine Zusammenlegung dieser beiden Höfe plante. Haus und Scheune dieses Hofes wurden lt. Brandkassen-Register 1883 abgebrochen. == References ==

Geschichte über [[Heeren-39|'''Enne Garrelts Heeren''']] und seine Ehefrau [[Jansen-1623|'''Elizabeth Jansen''']], übertragen aus dem Internet-Auftritt vom Dorf [http://www.canum.de Canum]http://www.canum.de, Menü: „Canum vor 1900“ --> „Osterstraße 9“.

Sie sind hier: Canum vor 1900 --> Osterstraße 9.

In der Steuerliste 1719 wird ein Dirk Sentz mit Ehefrau, 1 Knecht und 1 Magd als Heuermann (Pächter) eines Hofes von 143 ½ Grasen genannt. Hierbei dürfte es sich um diesen Hof handeln.

Im Jahre 1750 wird eine Emderin als Eigentümerin genannt. Sie hieß Anna Heilmann verwitwete Coch. Der Hof mit 143 Grasen Land war ihr von Anna Payne verwitwete Lindequist aus Emden vererbt worden. Wahrscheinlich war Anna Heilmann auch die Eigentümerin der angrenzenden (damals nicht bebauten) Grundstücke Osterstr. 7 und 5, denn als deren Eigentümerin war eine Witwe Cochs eingetragen.

Im Jahre 1759 wurde der Hof an Ihne Nannen verkauft. Ihne Nannen, der sich Reershemius nannte, lebte ca. 20 Jahre in Canum. Er war der Kirchvogt (Kirchenvorsteher) in Canum und sein Name findet sich noch heute am Schalldeckel der Kanzel in der Kirche zu Canum. Geboren wurde Ihne Nannen 1708 in Petkum und war also Lutheraner. Erst im Jahre 1748 erfolgte sein Übertritt zur reformierten Kirche in Wirdum. Im Hypothekenbuch wurden einige seiner Bürgschaften eingetragen, so verbürgte er sich 1766 für seinen Sohn Nanne Ihnen hinsichtlich einer Summe von 1200 Gulden, die dieser aufgenommen hatte. 1767 erfolgte eine weitere Bürgschaft über 1000 Gulden und später nochmals für 100 Reichstaler in Gold. Ihne Nannen war außerdem Vormund über Rudolph Arens und die Kinder des Peter Janssen. Am Ende seines Lebens scheint Ihne Nannen bei seiner Tochter in Freepsum gelebt zu haben, denn sein Sterbeeintrag findet sich im Kirchenbuch Freepsum. Ihne Nannen Rershemius, der Stammvater aller Reershemius-Familien in der Krummhörn, starb am 3.5.1786 in Freepsum und wurde in Canum „in het Kerk Choor“ (im Chor der Kirche Canum) beerdigt.

Im Jahre 1779 wurde sein Hof in öffentlicher Versteigerung verkauft. Käuferin war Simcke Reints, die Witwe des Jan Bruns (Groenhagen).

Der Hof war nur kurze Zeit in ihrem Besitz, denn bereits im Jahre 1783 wurde der Hof ein weiteres Mal öffentlich versteigert. Die Käufer waren das Ehepaar [[Heeren-39|'''Enne Garrelts Heeren''']] und [[Jansen-1623|'''Elisabeth Jansen''']]. Im Jahre 1787 verstarb [[Jansen-1623|'''Elisabeth Jansen''']] und [[Heeren-39|'''Enne Garrelts Heeren''']] heiratete 1790 in zweiter Ehe Juste Nannen Sebens.

In das Hypothekenbuch wurde eingetragen, dass der Besitzer [[Heeren-39|'''Enne Garrelfs Heeren''']] gemäß Vertrag seine beiden Kinder aus der ersten Ehe in Kost und Kleidung zu unterhalten hat und sobald sie das zwanzigste Jahr ihres Alters erreichten „zwey Tausend zweihundert Gulden herauszugeben“ oder das Kapital mit 4 % zu verzinsen hatte.

Nachfolger auf dem Hof des [[Heeren-39|'''Enne Heeren''']] wurde sein Sohn Jan Ennen Heeren. Im Jahre 1837 erfolgte dessen Heirat mit Greetje/Grietje Geelts Herlyn. Im jetzigen Hofgebäude befindet sich ein Giebelstein mit den Namen des Ehepaares. Demnach scheint zwischen 1837 und 1852, dem Todesjahr von Jan Heeren, das Hofgebäude erneuert worden sein. Insgesamt blieb der Hof fast 200 Jahre im Besitz der Familie Heeren und deren Nachkommen.

Sie sind hier: Canum vor 1900 --> Canumer Kirchstraße 3 '''Canumer Kirchstraße 3''' Im Hypothekenbuch wird als erste Eigentümerin dieses Anwesens [[Eppen-6| '''Tiabbent Eppen''']], die Witwe des [[Tellighuizen-1|'''Samuel Tellighusen''']] genannt. Ihr verstorbener Ehemann hatte das Grundstück für 210 Gulden gekauft. [[Tellighuizen-1|'''Samuel R. Tellighuizen''']] [so die Schreibweise des Namens im Kirchenbuch] war ein Sohn des Canumer Pastors [[À_Tellinghuizen-2|'''Rudolphus à Tellinghuysen''']]. Er war Zimmermann in Canum. Um ca. 1720 dürfte er [[Eppen-6| '''Tiabbent Eppen''']], die wahrscheinlich aus Uttum stammte, geheiratet haben. Da die Kirchenbücher von Canum erst 1729 anfangen, können nicht alle Kinder einwandfrei erfasst werden. Bekannt sind folgende Abkömmlinge: [[A_Tellinghuusen-1|'''Eppe''']] * um 1722, Rudolph * um 1724 (der 1794 in Canum als lediger Zimmermann verstarb), Imke (+ 1741), Elske (heiratete 1743 in Larrelt Lammert Geerds), Geeske * 1730 und + 1731, Daniel * 1732 (war ebenfalls Zimmermann und starb 1773) und Geeschke * 1736 und 1742 verstorben. Zwei Jahre nach dem Tode des letztgeborenen Kindes endete auch das Leben des [[Tellighuizen-1|'''Vaters''']]. Samuels [[Eppen-6| '''Witwe''']] erreichte ein für die damalige Zeit hohes Alter von 75 Jahren. Sie starb im Jahre 1771. Abweichend vom Hypothekenbuch nennt das Brandkassen-Register als nächsten Eigentümer Rudolph Samuels à Tellinghusen. Möglicherweise lebte dieser bis zu seinem Tode 1794 in seinem Elternhaus. Das Hypothekenbuch hingegen nennt [[A_Tellinghuusen-1|'''Eppe Samuels a Tellinghusen''']] als Erben des Grundstücks. Eppe war -wie sein Vater und seine Brüder- ebenfalls Zimmermann bzw. Zimmermeister Er heiratete 1748 in Canum die aus Twixlum stammende [[Haukes-2| '''Jantje Haukes''']]. Dem Ehepaar wurden in Canum 8 Kinder geboren. Die älteste Tochter Imke wurde nur gut 4 Jahre alt, das nächstgeborene Kind Meene oder Meine verstarb -unverheiratet- im Alter von 34 Jahren. Eine weitere Imke wurde im Alter von 16 Jahren zu Grabe getragen. Die anderen 5 Kinder: Hauke, Samuel, [[Á_Tellinghuizen-1|'''Weert''']], Rudolf und Daniel heirateten und lebten in Canum. Im Jahre 1794 verstarb [[A_Tellinghuusen-1|'''Eppe Samuels a Tellinghusen''']] m Alter von 72 Jahren, seine [[Haukes-2 |'''Witwe''']] folgte ihm im Jahre 1802. Als Erben wurden am 5.3.1802 die 5 genannten Kinder im Hypothekenbuch eingetragen. Bereits 4 Monate später hat [[Á_Tellinghuizen-1|'''Weert (auch Wiard genannt)''']] seine Geschwister ausbezahlt und das Grundstück für 650 fl. erstanden. [[Á_Tellinghuizen-1|'''Weert Eppen á Tellinghusen''']] heiratete 1790 in Freepsum die aus Groothusen stammende [[Dirks-368|'''Geeske Dirks''']]. Dem Ehepaar wurden in Canum 8 Kinder geboren, davon überlebten die Kinder Eppe, Antje, Weert, [[Á_Tellinghuisen-1|'''Samuel''']] und Jantje ihre Eltern. [[Á_Tellinghuizen-1|'''Weert Eppen á Tellinghusen''']] war Arbeiter und verschied 1826. Im Hykpothekenbuch werden 1829 seine Erben als Eigentümer eingetragen. Neben der Witwe [[Dirks-368|'''Geeske Dirks''']] waren dies die 5 überlebenden Kinder. Im Jahre 1834 erscheint dann als einziger Eigentümer der Arbeiter Eppe Weerts á Tellinghausen. Er hatte die Anteile von Mutter und Geschwistern gekauft. Eppe war nicht verheiratet und starb 1857 in Canum an einer Brustkrankheit. Erben des Grundstücks waren seine Geschwister, der Arbeiter Weert Weerts à T., der Landwirt [[Á_Tellinghuisen-1|'''Samuel Weerts à T.''']], Jantje Weerts à T. (verheiratet mit dem Arbeiter Hidde Freerks Hoogstraat in Freepsum) und Antje Weerts à T. (verheiratet mit Heerke Hinderks Rosenboom). Da Antje Weerts à Tellinghusen ihren Bruder Eppe nur um 4 Monate überlebte, ging ihr Erbanteil an ihre Kinder Gertrud Heerkes R. (verheiratet mit dem Arbeiter Meint Jacobs Telenga in Twixlum), Geeske Heerkes R. (Witwe des Arbeiters Reinder Janssen Jben in Grimersumer Altendeich), Jantje Heerkes R. (verheiratet mit dem Arbeiter Enne Freerks Frerichs in Oster-Upgant), Hinderika Heerkes R. (verheiratet mit dem Arbeiter Siemen Friedrichs Kirchhoff in Groothusen), Arbeiter Weert Heerkes Rosenboom in Suurhusen sowie der Eetje Heerkes Rosenboom in Canum. Weil die Tochter Tetje, Ehefrau des Arbeiters Uhnke Redmers Janssen in Upleward, bereits verstorben war, erbten diesen Anteil deren Kinder Antje und Uhnke Redmers. Möglicherweise hat diese Erbengemeinschaft dann Haus und Grundstück verkauft. Im Jahre 1872 wird als Eigentümer der Arbeiter Hinderk Wichers genannt. Er wurde 1833 in Canum geboren, sein Elternhaus stand auf der gegenüberliegenden Straßenseite. Im Jahre 1856 heiratete Hinderk Wichers in Groothusen die aus diesem Dorf stammende Elisabeth Reemts Veldmann. Das Paar bekam 3 Kinder. Die einzige Tochter verstarb bereits im Alter von 2 Jahren an Keuchhusten. Elisabeth Veldmann lebte bis 1890, ihr Ehemann schloss eine zweite Ehe 1893 in Freepsum mit Reenste Karsjens van der Werf. Für Reenste van der Werf war es die dritte Ehe, ihr erster Ehemann hieß Reemt Meints de Vries und der zweite Ehemann Poppe Wilms Hoogestraat. Hinderk Wichers verschied im Jahre 1908. Reenste lebte später bei ihrem Sohn Adalbert Hoogestraat (s. Canumer Kirchstr. 7). Wichert Wichers, der jüngste Sohn von Hinderk Wichers, heiratete 1891 in Canum Wilhelmine Charlotte Post aus Uphusen. Das Paar lebte später in Loquard. Der älteste Sohn Reemt Wichers wurde der nächste Eigentümer dieser Immobilie. Er war ebenfalls Arbeiter. Später arbeitete er auch als Dreschmaschinenführer. 1883 erfolgte seine Eheschließung mit Aafke Beene Fischer, die aus Manslagt stammte. Dem Ehepaar wurden in Canum 13 Kinder geboren. 3 Kinder erreichten nicht das Erwachsenenalter. Ein Sohn gehörte zu den Kriegstoten des 1. Weltkrieges. Die Mutter der Kinder wurde nur 50 Jahre alt, sie wurde 1913 in Canum beerdigt. Reemt Wichers erreichte das Alter von 70 Jahren, er verstarb 1927. ==References==

Menü „Um 1900“ --> "„Canumer Straßen vor dem Jahr 1900“ --> „Canumer Kirchstraße/Osterstraße“ übertragen. '''Canumer Kirchstraße/Osterstraße''' Auffallend ist, dass um 1750 alle Grundstücke in dem Gebiet zwischen der Canumer Kirchstraße/Osterstraße und der Straße Zur Post im Besitz der Nachkömmlinge des früheren Canumer Pastors [[À_Tellinghuizen-2|'''Rudolphus à Tellinghuysen''']] waren. Von diesem Pastor dürften alle heutigen Träger des Namens à Tellinghusen in Ostfriesland abstammen. [[À_Tellinghuizen-2|'''Rudolphus''']] kam aus den Niederlanden, sein Name wird zum ersten Mal in den Emder Eheprotokollen wie folgt genannt: [[À_Tellinghuizen-2|'''Rudolph von Tellichhausen''']] Theol. Studiosis und [[Hertogh-2|'''Imcken Hertochs''']], Lambert Hertochs tochter‘. Sie lassen ihre bevorstehende Heirat am 24.12.1674 eintragen. Leider gibt es kein Heiratsregister für diese Zeit in Emden, so bleibt das genaue Heiratsdatum unbekannt. [[Hertogh-2|'''Imke''']], die Tochter von Lambert Hertochs und Ennecke, wurde 1651 in Midwolda/NL getauft. In dem Buch ‚Ostfriesländisches Prediger-Denkmahl‘ v. P. F. Reershemius steht, dass [[À_Tellinghuizen-2|'''Rudolph a Tellighausen''']] aus Oberyssel stammen soll. Demnach wurde er 1678 Pastor auf Borkum, wechselte 1687 nach Logumer Vorwerk und kam bereits im darauffolgenden Jahr nach Canum. Hier soll er 1727 verstorben sein. Da es aus seiner Dienstzeit (bis 1727) keine Kirchenbücher gibt, bleiben Unsicherheiten bei der Zuordnung seiner Kinder. Bekannt sind folgende Namen: Emanuel (1675 in Emden getauft), Daniel (1676 in Emden getauft), Jakobus, Jannes (Johan), [[Tellighuizen-1|'''Samuel''']], Antie, [[Tellighuysen-1|'''David''']] und Rudolphus. Der Verbleib des Emanuel ist unbekannt, Daniel wurde Schulmeister. Sein Wohnort konnte nicht festgestellt werden, er verstarb bereits vor 1716 mit Hinterlassung zumindest einer Tochter. Alle anderen Kinder wohnten wenigstens zeitweise in Canum. Der mutmaßliche Sohn Rudolphus a Tellighuisen starb hier 1730, vermutlich unverheiratet. ==References==

'''Erzählung vom Haus Mühlenring 2 in Canum''',
übertragen aus dem Internet-Auftritt des Dorfes [http://www.canum.de Canum]http://www.canum.de,
Untermenü "Canum vor 1900" --> "Mühlenring 2":

Gemäß Beschreibung im ältesten Hypothekenbuch grenzten ‚Haus und Warf’ im Süden an Albert Jacobs, im Osten am Gemeinen Kirchen-Pfad, im Westen am Dorf-Weg, im Norden an Corneljes Ufckes Erben. Heute grenzt das Grundstück nicht mehr am ‚Kirchen-Pfad’. 1750/52 wird als Eigentümer genannt Ufcke Ayses, der in 1. Ehe mit Petercke Peters lebte. Er hat diese Immobilie ‚von seinem Vater und dieser von seinen Eltern geerbt’. Auf dem Grundstück liegt eine Schuld von 200 fl., die der verstorbene Vater des Besitzers Cornelius (?) Ufkes 1744 von der Armenkasse aufgenommen hatte. Hier dürfte aber ein Fehler im Hypothekenbuch vorliegen. Ufcke Ayses war wahrscheinlich ein Sohn des Aiso/Ayso Ufkes, der 1745 in Canum verstarb.

Möglicherweise bildeten die Grundstücke Mühlenring 10, Norder Str. 1 und Mühlenring 2 vor 1700 eine Einheit. Eigentümer könnte das Ehepaar Uffke Hindrickß und Reinste Ayssen gewesen sein. Dieses Paar hatte 1681 in Wirdum geheiratet. Der Ehemann stammte aus dem Esenserland, die Ehefrau aus Canum. Da bei den späteren Eigentümern die Namen Ayse, Ufke und Reinste auftauchen, liegt die Vermutung nahe, dass es sich um Nachkommen dieses Paares handelt. Nach deren Tod könnte dann die erste Teilung stattgefunden haben.

Ufre Ayses aus Canum heiratete 1745 Peterke Peters, die ebenfalls aus Canum stammte. Das Paar hatte drei Söhne, von denen keiner älter als 2 Jahre alt wurde. Der erste Sohn hieß Ayso und starb vor der Geburt seines Bruders, der dann wiederum den Namen Aiso erhielt. Vor der Geburt des dritten Sohnes namens Ayse Ufkes verstarb der Vater 1753. Das Haus fiel an die Witwe Peterke Peters. Diese heiratete in 2. Ehe 1753 in Canum Jan Janssen aus Canum. 1755 wurde der einzige Sohn Jan geboren. Bereits 1763 verstarb die Mutter.

Daraufhin heiratete Jan Janssen 1767 in 2. Ehe Swaantje Janssen, eine Gastwirtstochter aus Freepsum. 4 Kinder wurden geboren, wovon eines nur 2 Tage alt wurde. Im Kirchenbuch wird Jan Janssen als ‚Kuhmelker’ und Arbeiter bezeichnet, demnach dürfte er einige Kühe besessen haben. Swaantje Janssen wurde nur 40 Jahre alt, ihr Todesjahr war 1782. Jan Janssen lebte noch bis 1797 in Canum, er wurde 76 Jahre alt. Das Haus ging jedoch im Jahre 1789 in den Besitz der Armenkasse Canum über, da Jan Janssen 400 Gl. Schulden bei der Armenkasse hatte.

Am 6.2.1792 kaufte Jan Daniels für 550 fl. in Gold das Haus von der Armenkasse. Er war ein Sohn von [[Janssen-591| '''Daniel Janssen''']] und [[Albers-312|'''Wopke Alberts''' ]] und Enkel von [[Jacobs-5070|'''Albert Jacobs''']] (siehe Mühlenring 8). Jan Daniels, ein Arbeiter und Schiffer, heiratete 1796 in Rysum Martientje Hayungs aus Rysum. Ab 1797 wurden in Canum 6 Kinder geboren. Zwischen 1807 und 1810 scheint Jan Daniels seinen Besitz verkauft zu haben, denn das 7. Kind wurde 1810 in Woquard geboren. Dort sind auch beide Eheleute verstorben.

Nach den Brandkassenakten wurde vor 1814 Jan Everts Eigentümer. Möglicherweise ist dieser Jan Everts identisch mit Jan Everts Ros, einem Sohn von Evert Janssen und Stientje Albers (siehe Mühlenring 10). Jan Everts Ros, der ein Vetter des Vorbesitzers war, heiratete 1810 in Canum Antje Hinderks Röben aus Uttum. Das Ehepaar bekam 4 Kinder. Der älteste Sohn starb im Alter von 3 Jahren. Nach dem Tode seiner Ehefrau, die nur 34 Jahre alt wurde, heiratete Jan Everts Ros in 2. Ehe 1821 Antje Klaassen aus Rysum. Aus dieser Ehe stammten 3 Kinder, davon wurde das jüngste Kind tot geboren. Kurz danach, im Jahre 1831, verstarb der Arbeiter Jan Everts Ros. Seine Witwe verheiratete sich 6 Jahre später mit ihrem Schwager Willem Everts Ross.

Aus den Unterlagen der Brandkasse geht hervor, dass der Grundbesitz zwischen 1823 und 1834 veräußert wurde. Neuer Besitzer wurde Jan H. Bruns. Da der nächste Eigentümer Claas H. Bruns hieß, könnte es sich um Jan Heyen Bruns und dessen Sohn Klaas Janssen Bruns handeln. Eine sichere Zuordnung ist allerdings nicht möglich! Jan Heyen Bruns war ein Kleidermacher (= Schneider), er wurde in Freepsum geboren und heiratete 1825 in Canum Martje Klaassen Groenewold, die aus Canum stammte. Von den 3 Kindern dieses Paares, verstarben die Tochter Hilke mit 28 Jahren und der Sohn Heye mit 18 Jahren. Das einzig verbliebene Kind war der jüngste Sohn Klaas. Im Jahre 1857 verschied Jan Heyen Bruns an einer langwierigen schwindsüchtigen Krankheit, sein Witwe folgte ihm 1872.

Klaas Janssen Bruns wurde 1834 in Canum geboren. Im Jahre 1868 heiratete er in Wirdum Metje Janssen Pruisman aus Wirdum. Dieses Paar hatte keine Kinder. Beide Eheleute verstarben in Wirdum. Ob er identisch ist mit Claas H. Bruns, der von mind. 1872 bis 1889 Eigentümer dieses Grundstücks war, bleibt unsicher.

Ab 1889 kam der Besitz an Siemen Edzen Aukes, den Eigentümer des Hofes Mühlenring. ==References==

Für dieses Grundstück existiert noch ein alter Kaufvertrag aus dem Jahre 1735 im Staatsarchiv Aurich. Damals verkaufte Jacobus Tellighusen „sein alhir zu Canum stehend Wohnhauß und Warff“ an [[Jacobs-5070|'''Albert Jacobs''']]. Das Grundstück grenzte im Norden an Ayso Ufkes, im Westen gleichfalls an Ayso Ufkes und Cornelius Ufkes sowie im Süden und Osten am „Kirch-Pfade“. Der Kaufpreis betrug 270 Gulden, zahlbar in mehreren Raten. Als Zeugen werden im Kaufvertrag Peter Hanssen und D. a Tellighusen genannt.

Von Jacobus Tellighuisen (damalige Schreibweise) ist bekannt, dass er in erster Ehe mit Fenneke Karels verheiratet war, die 1734 verstarb. Noch im gleichen Jahr heiratete Jacobus dann die Witwe Bauke Janss.

Der Käufer des Grundstücks war [[Jacobs-5070|'''Albert Jacobs''']], der aus Freepsum stammen dürfte. Er war Landgebräucher und heiratete in erster Ehe 1731 Anke Hansen, die bereits 1735 verstarb. Im Jahre 1737 erfolgte dann seine Heirat mit [[Sigers-12|'''Trintie Sigers''']]. Diese Ehefrau wurde in Klein-Midlum geboren und wohnte 1737 in Oldersum. Das Ehepaar [[Jacobs-5070|'''Albert Jacobs''']] und [[Sigers-12|'''Trintie Sigers''']] hatte sieben Kinder. Die jüngste Tochter Stientje heiratete 1771 in Canum Evert Janssen. Dies sind die Stamm-Eltern der Familie Ross/Roß. Noch heute leben fast 40 direkte Nachkommen von [[Jacobs-5070|'''Albert Jacobs''']] und [[Sigers-12|'''Trintie Sigers''']] in Canum!

Nach dem Tode von [[Sigers-12|'''Trintie Sigers''']] heiratete der 63jährige [[Jacobs-5070|'''Albert Jacobs''']] in 3. Ehe Hilke Tjarks, eine Witwe aus Twixlum. Das einzige Kind dieser Ehe – ein Sohn- war „blödsinnig“.

[[Jacobs-5070|'''Albert Jacobs''']] starb 1785 in Canum im Alter von 80 Jahren. In seinem Sterbeeintrag steht: „eertyts een Landgebruiker dog daar na verarmt“ (früher ein Landgebräucher, doch dann verarmt). Nach dem Tode seiner Witwe im Jahre 1799 blieb der behinderte Sohn zurück.

Zur Sicherung seines Unterhalts wurde dann wohl das Grundstück an die Armenkasse übertragen, die dafür dann die Versorgung des Sohnes übernahm. Im Zuge dessen wurde das Wohnhaus des [[Jacobs-5070|'''Albert Jacobs''']] zum Armenhaus der Gemeinde Canum.

Früher hatte jede Gemeinde ein Armenhaus. Es gab damals keine Sozialversicherungen. Wenn jemand verarmte, musste die Heimat-Gemeinde für die Unterhaltskosten aufkommen. Dafür gab es so genannte Armenkassen, deren Einnahmen bestanden meistens aus Kollekten, Pachten usw. Es konnte damals durchaus vorkommen, dass z. B. ältere Arbeiter im Alter nicht mehr für ihren eigenen Unterhalt sorgen konnten. Hatten sie keine eigene Unterkunft, wurden sie in das Armenhaus ‚eingewiesen’ und dort versorgt. Vorher wurden meistens die eigenen Mobilien verkauft und der Erlös ging an die Armenkasse.

Gemäß den Akten der Brandkasse diente das Haus noch bis nach 1900 als Armenhaus. Seit einigen Jahrzehnten ist es wieder im Privatbesitz. Auf einem Teil dieses Grundstückes wurde um 1968 das Dorfgemeinschaftshaus gebaut. ==References==

'''CAP. JOHN LUTHER/LUTER AND THE GREAT MIGRATION - BRIDPORT ORIGINS''' (by Larry Luther, March 5, 2021) The Luther Family Association genealogists have long thought that Captain John Luther Captain John likely emigrated from Dorset to Massachusetts from 1630 to 1637, as part of the Great Migration. Dorset County residents formed a meaningful number of the English emigrants during this time. An insightful book by English historian Professor Frank Thistlethwaite deals extensively with the West Country pilgrim emigrants.1 One of the most comprehensive studies (still ongoing) of the participants in this exodus is “The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England, 1620-1633, Volumes 1-3” and “The Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, 1634-1635, Volumes 1-6”. Boston: New England Historical and Genealogical Society, 1996-2011 by Robert Charles Anderson. In preparing Schedule A of this article, the writer has consulted both of these sources, among other historical records and sources; source details are not included. The small Town of Bridport and the nearby County Town of Dorchester played an important role in that resettlement. Both being located very close to the English Channel, it is natural that their residents would be engaged in seafaring activities. These two towns, about fourteen miles apart, had close historical ties, with numerous family & business connections. Although Bridport had a small port at West Bay, by the 1620s its utility had declined, duly to silting. The closest functional sizable port was Weymouth (Dorchester’s port), about eighteen miles from Bridport. For centuries Bridport was legendary for its production of rope used in sailboat ropes and riggings. The flax and hemp used in rope making was grown in the rural areas surrounding Bridport. In 1211 King John ordered Bridport to produce sail cloth, cables and ropes2, and this activity continued into the 1600s (for a time as a monopoly) as its most important business activity. People and vessels from this area of Dorset had for years crossed the Atlantic from Dorset to engage in the Newfoundland cod fishery. “Throughout the southwest of England the overseas cod fishery became an established industry, and migration to Newfoundland became a major cultural tradition. While much of the migratory activity at home was focused on the ports where the fish merchants operated and whence the ships sailed, the working population that went to Newfoundland each year was distributed throughout surrounding villages and inland market towns… Because of their close proximity to the sea, many of their young residents were seamen or fishermen. Weymouth was involved in the fishing industry in Newfoundland. There were substantial "Newfoundland" communities resident in such places as… Bridport in Dorset …”3. In the 1620s & 30s England experienced a religious conflict between the Church of England traditionalists led by Charles I with his ally Archbishop Laud, and the Puritans who wanted church reform. The resulting persecution of Puritans led to a movement for them to leave England, where they could freely practice their religion. One of the prime proponents of such emigration was Rev. John White & his associates of Dorchester. They encouraged, organized & financed the Dorchester Company in the 1620s to encourage emigration to the New World. The overwhelming number of its shareholders/members were from Dorchester. The Bridport & area people were represented among its members are shown in Part 1 of Schedule “A”. They also organized the important 1630 voyage of the sailing vessel Mary and John to Massachusetts which contained primarily passengers from England’s West Country. Although there is no surviving passenger list, from the arrival dates in Massachusetts, it is likely that at least fourteen were from Bridport. Bridport had a vibrant Puritan community, and there was some conflict with traditional Church of England adherents in the town. A slander court case of Miller vs. Maries, 1613-1614 involved no less than sixteen prominent members of the town, eight on each side.4 Part 2 of Schedule “A” sets out Great Migration immigrants to Massachusetts from or connected with Bridport & the nearby area. This demonstrates the considerable role that residents of Bridport & area played in inspiring, organizing, funding & participating in the Great Migration to New England. This brings us to John Luter Jr., born in Bridport in 1602 & his wife Elizabeth Addams, who he married in 1625 in Bridport. It has been suggested in the past that Captain John Luther may have come from Great Canford/Canford Magna, Dorset. But in this study and in previous research, the writer has found no evidence of any participation of residents of that village in the Dorchester Company or the Great Migration. Based on the foregoing, John & Elizabeth must have been well aware of the emigration from their home area to New England and quite likely knew some of the emigrants. As concluded by the founding Luther Family Association genealogists, it is quite probable that Cap. John Luther/Luter was influenced by Rev. White & others of nearby Dorchester to immigrate to the New World. Although there is no evidence of Captain John Luter/Luther being a religious man, his son Samuell did become a minister possibly in Dorchester and definitely in Swansea. And as John was a seaman, likely working out of the nearby Port of Weymouth, he may have previously sailed to the New World, perhaps involved in the fishing or fur trading industries, which were active from Weymouth. Since he was from a family with modest means, they were the very type of people with the economic incentive to do so. As has been said, most of the emigrants came from the cottages, not from the manor houses. In the view of the writer, the information presented herein further supports the thesis that Captain John & Elizabeth Luther/Luter are in fact John Luter & Elizabeth Addams of Bridport. ______________________________________________________________________ 1. “Dorset Pilgrims, The Story of West Country Pilgrims Who Went To New England in the 17th Century”, by Frank Thistlethwaite, 1989; Barrie & Jenkins, London 2. p. 29, “Records of Early English Drama - Dorset”, edited by Rosalind Conklin Hays and C.E.

He owned land in Massachusetts, but never moved there. He was probably related to Henry Way of Bridport below and the other Ways living in Bridport. He also owned properties in Bridport, probably through those family ties. In his 1641 will, his trustees included William Derby (see above) and Walter Baily of Bridport. '''PART 2 – EMIGRANTS CONNECTED TO BRIDPORT & NEARBY TOWNS (excluding Dorchester) ''' Richard Betscombe & wife Mary Strong emigrated from Symondsbury Dorset, to Hingham, Mass. in about 1635.

John Derby/Darby, a native of Powerstock, Dorset (4.7 mi. from Bridport) (Bridport, Dorset Parish Registers, 1538-2001) (3 miles from Bridport), emigrated to Plymouth/Yarmouth, Mass. before August 1637. He is in all likelihood not John Darby, son of Henry Darby of Beaminster, because his brother does not seem to be part of that family, but could be related. Richard Derby/Darby, brother of John Darby above, who also was apparently a native of Powerstock, emigrated to Plymouth/Yarmouth, with a servant, John Chipman. He returned to England and was buried in Bridport on Jan. 3 1643. Seemingly not Richard Derby, son of Henry Darby of Beaminster, who died in 1623, but could be related.

He was involved in various disputes & litigation in Dorchester and Massachusetts and was indebted to Rev. John White. He appears to have been baptized in Bridport on June 28 1601. Thomas Ford & wife Elizabeth Cooke of Bridport/Dorchester emigrated to Dorchester Mass. in 1630, probably aboard the Mary & John. He married Elizabeth, the widow of Aaron Cooke Sr. & mother of Aaron Cooke Jr. in Bridport in 1616 and had two daughters there, before moving to Dorchester Dorset before 1624. John Gallop, wife Christine Brushett & five children, emigrated from Bridport before 1633 to Boston, Mass. He was a fisherman & mariner, and they married and baptized all their children in Bridport.

William Hosford, wife Florence Hayward & three children, from Beaminster, near Bridport, emigrated before December 1633 to Dorchester, Mass. They were married and their children were baptized in Beaminster. It is likely that father Nicolas was a Puritan who was plaintiff in a 1613 libel law suit in Bridport. He returned to England, but his son John stayed in Windsor. John Hoskins emigrated from Beaminster in 1630, likely on the Mary & John, to Dorchester, Mass.

He was baptized on Bridport on April 26, 1600 and never married. In his will, he mentions a cousin in Symondsborough (presumably Symondsbury, near Bridport). John Peach (perhaps his father) paid Ale account levies in Chideoke, near Bridport in 1592-3. Thomas Pierce/Pearce & wife Susana Whitehead were married in Bridport on June 29 1634 and are likely the couple who emigrated to Massachusetts and whose son Thomas in 1639 married Elizabeth Cole & had children in Charleston, Mass. Thomas Pierce (probably his father) is mentioned in the Puritan slander law suit in Bridport in 1613. Eltwitt/Eltweed Pomeroy/Pomerye of Beaminster emigrated to Dorchester, Mass. by March 1632/3 then relocated to Windsor, Conn. He was baptized, married, had two daughters & buried his first wife Johanna Keech in Beaminster, Dorset.

After taking a position as a minister in Exeter Devon, he returned to Dorchester, Dorset to emigrate and was designated by John White as a minister onboard and in the New World. He became a prominent civic leader in Dorchester, and in Windsor when he moved there. Henry Way, wife Elizabeth & children of Bridport, Dorset emigrated to Dorchester, Mass. in 1630, probably on the Mary & John. He was a mariner, fish merchant and the owner of several boats involved in fishing & other commerce in New England. He was probably related to George Way above.

directed from [[Space:Spence Historical References|References in History]] === Cape–Cairo Railway === The Cape to Cairo Railway is an uncompleted project to cross Africa from south to north by rail. This plan was initiated at the end of the 19th century, during the time of colonial rule, largely under the vision of Cecil Rhodes, in the attempt to connect adjacent African possessions of the British Empire through a continuous line from Cape Town, South Africa to Cairo, Egypt. While most sections of the Cape to Cairo railway are in operation, a major part is missing between northern Sudan and Uganda. ==== Reasons for its construction ==== British colonialism in Africa is closely linked to the concept of the Cape to Cairo Railway. Cecil Rhodes was instrumental in securing the southern states of the continent for the British Empire and envisioned a continuous "red" link of British dominions from North to South. A railway would be a critical element in this scheme to unify the possessions, facilitate governance, enable the military to move quickly to hot spots or conduct war, help settlement, and foster trade. The construction of this project presented a major technological challenge. France had a rival strategy in the late 1890s to link its colonies from west to east across the continent, Senegal to Djibouti. Southern Sudan and Ethiopia were in the way, but France sent expeditions in 1897 to establish a protectorate in southern Sudan and to find a route across Ethiopia. The scheme foundered when a British flotilla on the Nile confronted the French expedition at the point of intersection between the French and British routes, leading to the Fashoda Incident and eventual diplomatic defeat for France. ==== Reasons for incompletion ==== British interests had to overcome not only the formidable obstacles posed by country and climate, but also interfering ambitions by other powers. As well as the Fashoda incident, the Portuguese tried unsuccessfully to link Angola and Mozambique. Opposition to British rule in South Africa was settled after the First and Second Boer Wars. Germany had secured a critical piece of real estate in East Africa that precluded completion of the North-South link. However, with the defeat of Germany in 1918 most of this territory fell into British hands and politically the link was closed. However, while after 1918 the British Empire possessed the political power to complete the Cape-Cairo Railway, economic issues precluded its completion between the World Wars. After Word War II, the national struggles of the African peoples and the demise of colonialism removed the foundations for its completion. ==== The Southern section ==== The Southern section was completed during British rule before the First World War and has an interconnecting system of national railways using the Cape-gauge of 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in). Construction started from Cape Town and went parallel to the Great North Road to Kimberley, further through a part of Botswana to Bulawayo. From this junction the link proceeds further north, today operated by the National Railways of Zimbabwe, to the Zambezi crossing. The Victoria Falls Bridge was completed in 1905. The connection is picked up by Zambia Railways and continues to Lapiri Mposhi which the transition point to the TAZARA link to Tanzania.

The farm of '''Capel St Silyn''' in Gwernogle was the birthplace of [[Evans-46609|Thomas Evans (Tomos Glyn Cothi)]], and is associated with [[Evans-46684|David Silyn Evans]] (whose middle name comes from the name of the farm) and other members of the Evans family. This page records events associated with the farm. The farm was apparently built on the site of an old chapel dedicated to the Welsh saint St Silyn, hence the name. '''20 June 1764''' - Birth of [[Evans-46609|Thomas Evans (Tomos Glyn Cothi)]], the son of Evan and Hannah Evans. '''1841 Census''' - the farm is occupied by the family of [[Evans-46705|Evan Evans]]. It seems a reasonable assumption that Evan was a relative of Thomas - possibly a grandson or a great-nephew or similar. '''25 December 1841''' - Evan's son John Evans is buried in Llanfihangel Rhos-y-Corn at the age of 2 years. His residence is given as Capel St Silyn. '''9 November 1847''' - The farm is the residence of [[Beynon-367|Margaret Beynon)]] on her marriage to [[Evans-46690|John Evans]]. Evidently the Beynon family moved into Capel St Silyn some time between the end of 1841 and 1847, but it's difficult to be any more specific than this. It's unclear what happened to Evan Evans and his family - they don't seem to appear on the 1851 Census, but there are no burial records suggesting that he had died in the meantime. '''1851 and 1861 Censuses''' - The farm is occupied by [[Beynon-368|Evan Beynon]] (Margaret's father) and his family. Evan's wife Sarah passes away in 1857. '''14 November 1864''' - Evan Beynon is buried at Llanfihangel Rhos-y-Corn, with his residence given as Capel St Silyn. '''1871, 1881 and 1891 Censuses''' - The farm is occupied by [[Evans-46690|John Evans]] and his family, including his wife Margaret, the daughter of Evan Beynon. It seems reasonable to assume that they moved in shortly after Evan Beynon's death in late 1864. An article in the ''Merthyr Times and Dowlais Times and Aberdare Echo'' of 11 June 1896 (page 3), discussing middle names that come from places, gives David Silyn Evans as an example and states that he spent seven years at Capel St Silyn. Other articles show that he attended the Brecon College and was ordained in 1873; if we assume that the training course lasted 2 or 3 years, this is consistent with the family moving into Capel St Silyn in 1864. '''21 January 1887''' - Margaret is buried at Llanfihangel Rhos-y-Corn, with a residence of Capel St Silyn. '''15 June 1893''' - John is buried at Llanfihangel Rhos-y-Corn, with a residence of Capel St Silyn. '''After 1893''' - it is unclear what happens to the farm at this point. A search of the 1901 and 1911 Censuses found no match, but there are mentions in newspapers after this date that suggest that the farm was still in existence for at least several further decades.

[[Shortt-41|John Shortt]] was a barrister born in 1814 who married [[Drought-45|Alice Drought]] in Dorrha Church on 16 Jan 1845. It was reported that she died on 25th Apr 1846. Their daughter [[Shortt-194|Alice Shortt]] was born about this time so it is quite possible her mother died in childbirth. Capagowlan, Killaughy, Kings County, Ireland (it seems to be spelt a variety of ways) was a farm of the Drought family. Alice Drought was an only child of [[Drought-64|Robert Drought]] and Elizabeth. They were the last Droughts to hold possession of this house. It seems to have then passed to the Shortt family. Perhaps it remained in the possession of the Shortt family while their daughter Alice survived. [[Shortt-194|Alice Shortt]] died in 1932 and had no children and this is where the connection to the Drought family ended. The Shortt family appears to have used Cappagowlan House as a country house, while they resided more often in their other home in Dublin (17 Belgrave Square, Rathmines, Dublin). According to the Drought family tree the house came to Robert from his father [[Drought-68|Thomas]] (2nd son) d 1808 of Cappagowlan and Diana. It was passed to him from his father [[Drought-67|Robert]] (3rd son, married Elizabeth ?) (of Granstown, Queens County) who died in 1746. Robert was the son of [[Drought-38|John]] d 1724 who married [[Beasley-2053|Mary Beasley]]. Prior to John it was in the possession of his father [[Drought-36|Richard Drought]] who married [[Baldwin-7989|Ann Baldwin]]. Richard seemed to share the property with his brother [[Drought-12|William]] and in William's will of about 1697 his interest in the farm transferred to Richard while two other farms in Kings County transferred to another brother Thomas. His mother Anne was also mentioned as a beneficiary. John Shortt's son [[Shortt-40|Dr William John Shortt's]] military record states his birth was in Cappagowlan. It seems likely the property they held in this area was from a marriage settlement on John's first marriage to Alice Drought. The Tithe Allotment book shows Robert Drought in Cappagowlan who is most likely the father of Alice Drought. In addition a newspaper record for William John referred to his residence in Cappagowlan. "SHORTT--EDOLS. -On the 21st April, at Burryjaa Church by the Rev. W. C. Hose, William, third son of John Shortt, barrister-at-law, of Belgrave square, Dublin, and Cappagolan, King's County, Ireland, to Violet, only daughter of the late Richard" (1897) The home is described as follows: Detached five-bay two-storey house, built c.1760, in front of earlier gable-ended two-storey over basement with attic house, c.1650. Hipped slate roof to front section with terracotta ridge tiles, rendered chimneystacks and some cast-iron rainwater goods. Pitched slate roof to rear section with chimneystacks located over gable end walls. Pebbledashed walls. Square-headed window openings with sandstone sills and uPVC and aluminum window s. Narrow sills to rear elevation. Round-headed door opening with granite block-and-start surround with spoked fanlight, timber panelled double doors and flanked by sidelights. Door accessed up four sandstone steps. The interior of this front section of the house is decorated with impressive ceiling plasterwork, an elegant touch for a rural house. Two-storey stone outbuildings and modern sheds to rear yard. Sandstone flat-arched to openings to outbuilding. Located on an elevation site overlooking the nearby Silver River, this house is a notable feature within the landscape. The arrangement and composition of Cappagowlan House reflects the development of Irish domestic architecture. Here a late eighteenth-/early nineteenth-century house was constructed in front of an earlier seventeenth-century house. Both houses display features and architectural motifs typical to these periods. The later house has a hipped roof and a wonderful round-headed door surround with a spoked fanlight and sandstone steps. The earlier house, to the rear, has a steeply pitched roof, thick exterior walls, flagstones to its interior, irregular fenestration and roughly cut sandstone sills. 1792 - [[Drought-110|George Drought]] was born. Many trees suggest he was born here. A son of Thomas Drought and his wife Diana. 1839 -In Dublin, William Odlum of Rathdowney, Queens County, Esq to Eliza daughter of William Drought of Cappagowlan, Kings County Esq 1847 - In this city, George, eldest son of John Ryall Esq, Kilmain, King's County, to Henrietta Mary, daughter of John Dunne, Esq, Cappagowlan House, Kings County. (Perhaps this was a tenant of John Shortt the relationships to the Shortt or Drought family is not clear) The Ryall family were also connected to [[space:Wingfield_House|Wingfield House]]. 1864 - [[Shortt-40|Dr William John Shortt]] 's military record shows his birth here. 1865 - Excellent grazing farms - To let for six months, or such other terms as may be agreed on 86 acres (Irish) of the lands of Cappagowlan, and 65 acres (Irish) of Arbourhill. Cappagowlan is within 3 miles of Frankford, and 2 Arbourhill miles of Parsonstown. Apply to John Shortt Esq, Cappagowlan House, Frankford. See [[space:Arbourhill|Arbourhill House]] 1932- [[Shortt-194|Alice Shortt]] dies. It seems the property was no longer in the family. Here are some interesting recollections from a Rev Andrew L. Shaw. Among those remembered with gratitude are Biddulph of Rathrobbin, who is said to have had a secret room in his house for the priest, and Drought of Cappagowlan about whom the following story is told: “When the Droughts first came here they lived in Cappagolan, and then in the castle beside the river in Park, and when that was burned by lightning, they came to live in the Sheriiff's house in Ridgemount. At the time I'm talking about there were three brothers of them in it: one in Cappagolan, one in Litter, and the third in Whigsborough and he was a bitter devil of a Protestant. One evening the Whigsborough Drought and the Cappagolan Drought were having dinner with the Sheriff in Ridgemount, and at that very time wasn’t there a priest living in a hut in Cappagolan. In the course of conversation during the dinner didn’t the talk come round to catching the priests and didn’t the Whigsborough Drought tell the company that he had been informed for certain that there was a priest in hiding in a place he knew about in the locality and he was coming in the morning with the Ballyboy Cavalry to arrest him. A servant, who happened to be within earshot, heard what was said and he sent word to the priest, and when Drought got home to Cappagowlan he too sent a trusted messenger to the priest. That night, when everybody was asleep in bed, the priest came to Droughts house and he locked him in an outhouse and kept the key himself and did not tell anyone about it. So the priest slept in the loft and Drought himself took him his meals. Meantime, Drought of Whigsborough and his horsemen swooped on Cappagolan and surrounded the hut, and the Captain and his men rushed in; but the hut was empty! ‘The cage is here,’ said the Captain, ‘but the bird is gone!’ When the soldiers had gone home and things had quietened down again, old Drought dressed the priest in his own clothes, yoked his carriage. and the two of them drove to Banagher, where, passing him off as a Mr. Drought, he put him over the Shannon” On the 21st June 1714, sixteen magistrates, of whom Drought of Whigsborough was probably one as it would explain his activity at Cappagolan, met in Ballyboy to put the proclamation against the priests into execution." For more information see the link below and go to pg 43. In 2017 the house remains standing and privately owned and is in fact owned by a descendant of the Drought family. ==Sources== *http://www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&county=OF®no=14932004 *http://www.offaly.ie/eng/Services/Planning/County_Development_Plan_2014_-_2020/Adopted-Plan-Files/Record-of-Protected-Structures-2014-2020.pdf *Limerick Reporter 3 December 1839 *The Pilot 11 June 1847, Pg 4 *Kings County Chronicle 3 May 1865 *Australia, WWI Service Records, 1914-1920 *Drought Family Tree *The Kilcormac Pieta and the Penal Times, Pg 43, Rev Andrew L.

This page is to record the research on determining if [[Galeucia-32|Simeon Galeucia]] and [[Galeucia-33|Daniel Galeucia]] are children of the [[Galeucia-8|Captain Daniel Galeucia]] that was married to [[Lindsey-6315|Hannah Lindsey]]. '''I started this research because I am currently tracing all descendants of Allen Breed who settled in Lynn, MA about 1635. I have since realized that Hannah Lindsey was not a descendant of Allen because she was attached to the wrong Eleazer (the one who married Lydia Farrington). The Eleazer that married Lydia was not the same one that married Hannah Hall. Hannah's mother was Hannah Hall and not Lydia as she was attached to. This changed my need to research her and determine her descendants. As a result I have stopped my research but will leave what I have gathered here in case it can be of use to anyone else.''' Captain Daniel Galeucia is said to have 4 wives but both children in question were supposedly children of Hannah Lindsey. I was able to determine that Elizabeth Lindsey, sister to Hannah, had a marriage intention to Daniel but apparently the marriage did not take place since she passed away and Daniel administered her estate where she was recorded as Elizabeth Lindsey and not Galeucia. If the marriage had taken place, then Daniel would inherit everything and her sister Susanna would not have received anything. (See research notes below).

On 18 Dec 1815, Joseph and Susanna Newhall received $280 from Daniel Galencia and released Daniel and his heirs from "all the right and title or interest the aforesaid Joseph and Susanna have to the estate of Elisabeth Lindsey fallen to her by her father Eleazer Lindsey". It was signed 18 Dec 1815. Not only does this show Eleazer had a daughter Elisabeth but it shows Elisabeth had a relative Susanna and ties to Daniel Galeucia since he is the one to administer the estate. An assumption would be that Susanna is the sister of Elisabeth given the 1783 deed. I do find it interesting that Elisabeth is not named Galeucia which one would expect if she married Daniel. The VR indicate that there was a marriage intention but unless there is an objection, the couples generally do follow through and get married.

== Capt. Daniel White's Grandfather Clock == As a young boy, I loved visiting my grandfather [[White-34500|Erskine Norman White's]] old [[Space:Braehead|farmhouse]] in Center Sandwich, New Hampshire. In the main hallway of the house stood an old grandfather clock, studded with nameplates, the oldest of which read: "Capt. Daniel White - 1732." I had always assumed that [[White-30354|Capt. Daniel White]] was a ''ship'' captain. However, more recent ancestry research has proven that he was instead a soldier in the American Revolutionary War. The nameplates on the clock are, in fact, a history of our family. As the clock was passed down from father to eldest son in each generation, a new nameplate was added. The clock is still in the possession of a White family member. The nameplates currently (in 2020) are seven in number. The dates generally reflect the year the clock was inherited, that being the death date of the father. Some plates are difficult to make out, but appear to read in order: {| class="wikitable" border="1" style="text-align: center" |- ! scope="col" width="200px" | Nameplate |- |[[White-30354|Capt.

Erskine Norman White's]] genealogy book, ''[[Space:Norman_White_-_His Ancestors_And_His_Descendants|Norman White - His Ancestors And His Descendants]]''. A grandson of Martin Kellogg, then a resident of California, wrote an article for ''Overland Monthly'' magazine entitled "My Grandfather's Farm," in which he described the boyhood home of [[White-30348|Norman White]]. The article which is reproduced in full in White's book, includes this reference to what must be our clock: [[#White|White]]: [https://books.google.com/books?id=GYtbAAAAMAAJ&dq=Stanley&pg=PA18-IA8#v=onepage&q&f=false Pages 24-29].

This Thomas is not a descendant of Richard Lee and Judith Steptoe. He is also not a descendant of Sir Thomas Leigh of South Carolina. Please be careful with incorrect data and check your sources before inputting bad material. Captain Thomas J. Lee is one of the most researched of the Lees of Virginia, East Tennessee Lee heirs often wish to find a family tie with the Great Lee Family of Virginia. As result some zealous early 20th Century researchers placed erroneous information in circulation. A lady from Alabama, Mrs. Boyle placed fake Bible records in certain genealogical publications in Virginia claiming that Capt. Lee was the son of Richard and Judith Steptoe Lee then spread the information, "far and wide". Based on the information spread by Mrs. Boyle Wm F. Franke made and distributed a family chart showing how Capt. Thomas J. Lee was the son of Richard Lee, grandson of Hancock Lee and so on. In a letter written to Mrs. Kate Lee on February 21, 1955 Wm F. Franke recanted the chart stating that, "the information given me by others...was proved to be wrong". http://www.geni.com/discussions/94779?msg=702591 Jacqueli Charlene Finley 5/17/2011 at 8:01 PM Here also info on Thomas of Ditchley: "Mary Lee, wife of Thomas Lee of Ditchley, our beloved daughter, died December 8, 1758." Samuel Griffin Bible record (VA Historical Society and Archives Div., VA State Library). This bible record is not to be confused with the controversial Needham Lee, Jr. Bible http://www.geni.com/discussions/94779?msg=702591 Most of this link discusses Richard Lee and Judith Steptoe but it does give a location for Samuel’s Bible which should be correct. Loretta Thomas Lee was born December 3, 1729, in the border counties between Virginia and North Carolina, most likely in Nansemond Co., Virginia and died July 2, 1816 in Lee Valley, Hawkins County, TN. He was the son of John Lee Esq. (1695-1767) of Johnston Co., North Carolina and wife Mary W. Bryan (1706-1780) of Isle of Wight, Surry, Virginia. This researcher has come to the conclusion that the name Mary was very common in this time period.

Captain [[Candler-676|John Candler]] of Marblehead was a mariner, mostly sailing between the ports of Salem and Marblehead in Massachusetts and various ports around the Mediterranean, such as Madeira, Leghorn (Livorno), Tunis, and Cape Verde. In his genealogy of the Sears family, Samuel P. May states that [[Sears-7535|John T. Sears ]] originally came to the Marblehead/Danvers MA area with Capt. Candler. I'm hoping that tracing John Candler's voyages will help determine John T. Sears's origins. Right now this project just has one member, me ([[Jamieson-3717|B. J. Jamieson]]). Will you join me?

Biography Moffat’s early life is obscure, but he was a partner in the London banking house of Wickenden, Moffat, Kensington and Boller from its establishment in 1775 at 20 Lombard Street, and by 1786 had become the senior partner. After several changes of name the firm traded under the title of Moffat, Kensingtons and Styan until 1807, when Moffat’s name dropped out. He appears also to have been connected from 1799 until 1819 with the banking house of Williams, Son, Moffat and Burgess, of 20 Birchin Lane. He traded as a merchant from several London addresses and by 1790 had established himself at 32 Queen Square, Bloomsbury. He signed the London merchants’ declaration of loyalty, 2 Dec. 1795, was entitled to four votes as an East India Company stockholder, and invested £10,000 in the 1797 loyalty loan. He was not listed as a merchant in the London directories after 1803. He bought Painshill in 1799, but sold it four years later and thereafter resided at Wimbledon.4 In April 1800 Moffat bought the estate of Lower Gatton and the electoral influence at Gatton which went with it for £39,000, but he subsequently relinquished the purchase to Mark Wood.5 He came in for Winchelsea in 1802 on the interest of Richard Barwell. No trace of parliamentary activity has been found. He was listed under ‘Pitt’ in September 1804 and ‘doubtful Pitt’ in July 1805. By 1806 Winchelsea had been purchased by Lord Darlington and Moffat is not known to have made any further attempt to enter the House. He died 12 Jan. 1822, leaving legacies totalling over £80,000 to his grandchildren and others and the residue of his estate to his only son William.6 Ref Volumes: 1790-1820 Authors: Richard Brown / J.

She made three complete voyages between Britain and China for the British East India Company. On her third she participated in the singular Battle of Pulo Auro. Unfortunately, she sank on the homeward leg of her fourth voyage, but with no loss of life. Career Voyage 1 Captain Joseph Garnault received a letter of marque on 23 March 1797. Letters of marque authorized the master and vessel to engage in offensive action against enemy vessels should the opportunity arise. He left Portsmouth on 5 June 1797, bound for St Helena, Benkulen and China. Ganges reached St Helena on 1 September, Benkulen on 9 December, and Whampoa on 1 March 1798. For her homeward voyage she crossed the Second Bar on 12 May, reaching the Cape on 9 September, and St Helena, in the South Atlantic, on 17 November. She arrived at Gravesend on 10 February 1799. Voyage 2 Capt Alexander Gray received a letter of marque on 4 December 1799. He left Portsmouth on 7 January 1800, bound for Bombay and China. Ganges reached Johanna on 2 May and Bombay on 26 May. She arrived at Whampoa on 5 November. She crossed the Second Bar on 10 January 1801, reaching Penang on 5 February, Colombo on 8 March, and Bombay again on 15 April. After a long stay at Bombay, she then went back, reaching Penang on 4 October and Whampoa on 1 January 1802. For her homeward voyage she crossed the Second Bar on 1 March, reaching St Helena on 10 July, and arriving at Gravesend on 16 September. Voyage 3 Captain William Moffat received a letter of marque on 23 February 1803. He sailed from the Downs on 6 May 1803 and Ganges arrived at Whampoa on 30 September. She started home about two months later, crossing the Second Bar on 26 November. On 14 February 1804 a fleet of Indiamen under the command of Commodore Nathaniel Dance, which included Ganges, intimidated, drove off, and chased a powerful French naval squadron. Although the French force was much stronger than the British convoy, Dance’s aggressive tactics persuaded Contre-Admiral Charles-Alexandre Durand Linois to retire after only a brief exchange of shot. Dance then chased the French warships until his convoy was out of danger, whereupon he resumed his passage towards British India. Linois later claimed that the unescorted British merchant fleet was defended by eight ships of the line, a claim criticised by contemporary officers and later historians. In the engagement Ganges was one of the first vessels to commence firing on the French. Though they returned fire, the French fire was not effective and Ganges suffered no casualties. Ganges reached Malacca on 19 February. On 28 February, the British ships of the line HMS Sceptre and Albion joined the fleet in the Strait of Malacca. Ganges reached Malaca on 21 March. Sceptre and Albion then escorted the fleet safely to St Helena, which Ganges reached on 9 June. From there HMS Plantagenet escorted the convoy to England. Ganges arrived at Greenhithe on 15 August. The EIC voted a £50,000 prize fund to be divided among the various commanders at the battle and their crews. Moffatt received 500 guineas, and also a piece of plate worth 100 guineas. Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund and other national and mercantile institutions made a series of awards of ceremonial swords, silver plate, and monetary gifts to individual officers. Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund gave each captain a sword worth £50, and one worth £100 to Nathaniel Dance. Dance refused a baronetcy but was subsequently knighted. Voyage 4 Captain Thomas Talbot Harrington received a letter of marque on 23 February 1805. He left Portsmouth on 25 April 1805 bound for Madras, Bengal, China, and Bombay. Ganges reached Madras on 23 August, Saugor on 14 September, Carnicobar on 6 November, Penang on 14 November, Malacca on 1 December, and Whampoa on 1 February 1806. She crossed the Second Bar on 19 March and reached Bombay on 2 July. She remained at Bombay until 27 Feb 1807. Loss On 29 May 1807 Ganges was off the Cape of Good Hope when she sprang a leak. She sank at 38°22'S 19°50'E, almost due south of Cape Agulhas. Fortunately there was no loss of life; the East Indiaman St Vincent, which was in company, managed to get all 203 or 209 persons on board Ganges off, including a number of soldiers from the 77th regiment of Foot. ---- The Asiatic Annual Register ... Vol. X for the year 1808 ST. HELENA. Occurrences for September, 1807-8 LOSS OF THE H. C. SHIP GANGES. To the worshipful Robert Patton, Governor, &c &c Sir, I perform a painful duty in acquainting you with the total loss of the H. C. ship Ganges, lately under my command, on Friday, the 29th ult. off the Cape of Good Hope in lat, 38, 22 S. and long, 19, 50 E. of Greenwich the particulars of which are faithfully and carefully stated in an extract from her log-book, which have the honour to inclose herewith. I shall do myself the honour of waiting upon you as soon as I come on shore; and mean time beg leave to refer you to my second officer, who is the bearer of this letter, for any farther information which you may require on this distressing subject. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obt. humble servant, (Signed) T. Harrington. H. C.’s ship E. St. Vincent, 16th June, 1807. Extract from the log-look of the Ship Ganges. Friday. May 29, 1807. “A. M. A light breeze and fair, the swell much gone down, but the ship still rolling dreadfully, and rendering it dangerous for the boats; to take persons on board, whether astern or alongside. At quarter past noon the St. Vincent being still nearly four miles from us, there being 7 feet water in the well, the stern-post being now four inches off the dead wood, and the ship ungovernable by the helm, got the launch at all risks alongside, having in vain attempted to put the ladies on board of her out of the stern gallery, though the railing was cut away for the purpose. At three quarters past noon she left us with all the passengers, except Mr. Rollestou, of the Bombay civil establishment, who insisted, in manner the most friendly to me, and the most honourable to himself, in remaining on board until my officers and self quitted the ship. At one P. M. the yawl left us with the sick people and some others ship’s company and soldiers of H. M. 77th regiment still working at the pumps with unabated vigor and good will. At three P. M. 8 feet water in the well and the ship settling fast. At past four, 9 feet water in the well and seeing the launch on her return, called the people up from the pumps. Down both cutters, and sent them off as fast as prudence would permit, with orders not to return. At five the launch, yawl, and one of the St. Vincent’s boats came alongside, and by half past five had all left the ship again, full of people, the third and fifth officers in charge of the launch, and yawl. “I immediately after the boats had quitted us, mustered the people, and there being 49 then still on board, (Mr. Rolleston, the chief, fourth and sixth officers, and myself included) again set the pumps to work, as the night was closing in fast, and the St. Vincent still at some distance from us. At six P. M. in company with the chief officer, gunner, and carpenter, visited the gun-room for the last time; found the head of the sternpost had forsaken the transom full six inches, the yarboard seam of the counter two inches open for six or seven feet down at least, the wood ends five inches off the sternpost, and all the counter timber gone at the heels. At three-quarters past eight, P. M. the St. Vincent’s boat and the yawl once more came alongside, and then (and not till then) were the pumps finally quitted by my orders. Filled the two boats and dispatched them to return no more five minutes afterwards the launch came back to us, and at three-quarters past eight, accompanied by Mr. Rolleston, the chief, fourth and sixth officers, and all that remained of the ship’s company, quitted the unfortunate Ganges with three cheers from us all, and twenty minutes after boarded the St. Vincent in safety; where we were received by captain Jones, with all that feeling and humanity which has distinguished his conduct since our separation from the fleet, and here, before the journal of this eventful voyage is finally closed, conceive it to be my duty to state, that in leaving the ship, she had ten feet of water in the well, that she had settled half way up her bends, that she was wholly ungovernable by the helm, that the poop, quarter deck, and upper works generally were in motion, and that as no human means were left untried, so were no human powers equal to save her from destruction. “At day light, the St. Vincent, from causes, as must appear in the log book, having made but little progress in the night, saw the ship about five miles off with her masts, yards and sails, in the same situation as on the preceding evening. At seven, A. M. captain Jones, in compliance with my request, bore up towards her, and at nine accompanied by Mr. Rolleston, the chief and fourth officer, and full complement of men for the boat, pulled towards her in the launch, with the hope of saving some part (however, small) of the property on board. “As we approached the ship, observed the water running out of the scuttles on the gun-deck, and that the fore castle was, at times, completely buried in the waves. Under such circumstances, the ship being evidently in sinking state, we conceived it most prudent to relinquish our object, and therefore immediately returned to the St. Vincent, at this time not more than quarter of mile distant. About four minutes before noon got alongside of her again, and fortunate it was that we did so, for scarcely had the launch been secured in that situation, before the Ganges, with three close reefed topsails set upon her, fore and main yards square, cross jack yard spread up, and mizen stay sail sheet aft, fore sail in the brails, and helm lashing alee, in most extraordinary manner paid off before the wind, and, in the lapse of one minute, sunk entirely, going down head foremost, (with all masts standing, except the main top mast, which on the main yards touching the water, broke off at the cap and fell forwards) and leaving on the minds of upwards of four hundred persons, who were witnesses to this most awful scene, an impression, which the feeling heart may perhaps conceive, but which never can, I think, by the ablest pen, be with justice described. Lat. 39. 22. S. where the journal of this ill-fated ship closes for ever. (Signed) T. Harrington. ---- Minutes of a Court of Directors held on September 30 1807 At a Court of Directors held on Wednesday, the 30th September 1807 A Report from the Committee of Shipping dated this day being read acquitting the Commander Officers and Owners of the late Ship Ganges of all imputation of neglect or misconduct in respect to the loss of that Ship.

The Assistant Secretary acquainted the Court, that on the 14th Inst, the undermentioned Commanders were sworn into the Command of their respective Ships, before The Chairman The Deputy Chairman Jacob Bosanquet Esqr and Abraham Robarts Esqr and that the said Commanders were severally cautioned by the Chairman against illicit Trade and breaking bulk homewards vizt Captn T [ ] T Harrington Scaleby Castle ---- Minutes of a Court of Directors held on September 22 1813 At a Court of Directors held on Wednesday the 22nd September 1813 On reading several Requests Ordered that Captn T Harrington be permitted to take with him on the Ship Selby Castle under his commanded to St Helena his family, who have before had the Court’s permission to reside on that Island ... ---- Minutes of a Court of Directors held on September 29 1813 At a Court of Directors held on Wednesday the 29th September 1813 On reading the Request of Captain Thomas Harrington Ordered that he be permitted to take with him to St Helena, in the Ship Scaleby Castle one male and three female European Servants, together with a farming man, upon his guaranteeing the Company from all expense during the residence of the several persons at St Helena. ---- St Helena Consultation held on November 1 1813 At a Consultation held on Monday, the 1st November at the Castle. The Governor informs the Board that he has lately received by way of the Cape a private letter from Captain Thomas Harrington adverting to apiece of ground in front of the parade for which he states he has already provided the frame of a Warehouse, and fearing that Captain Harrington in this case may be proceeding under an erroneous impression the Governor requests that the public proceedings on the subject be read. The 14th & 15th Para of letter from the [? word missing - Court] of Directors dated March 1813 together with the letters of Captain Harrington to the Court of Directors and the Committee of correspondence of the 4th & 22nd Decr 1812 referred to in the above were read in Council. The reply contained in the 14th Parah of the Board’s letter dated 20th August 1813 was also read The members of the Board immediately proceeded to inspect the ground referred to in Captain Harrington’s letter and found that if occupied by a Building it would shut up the Sessions House, Town Major’s Office and Office of Superintendant of Public works leaving between their front and the proposed building a narrow passage not exceeding 9 Feet 6 Inches and would leave also an insufficient passage to the Shop & Warehouse of O’Connor & Co on the South, it would likewise at the Northern end block up the Southern windows of the premises of Mr [Louden] thereby occasioning a serious injury to the property of those Individuals. The Board is unanimously of opinion that the erection of such Buildings would render the public offices mentioned above nearly useless for their intended purposes, and with regard to the Sessions house in particular the Board is unanimously of opinion that it is highly expedient to restore that building to the uses for which it was designed and for which it is well calculated. The late practice of holding the Sessions in the Drawing room of the Castle without any appropriate railing between the Court and the Crowd being in their opinion indecorous and tending to detract from the respectability of the Court. Resolved Unanimously that the space alluded to cannot as stated in the letter from Captn Harrington dated 4th December 1813 be considered as entirely unappropriated, and that it cannot be built upon without serious detriment to the public service, and injury to the interest of Individuals. It is further resolved unanimously that it would be highly inexpedient to alienate by sale, lease or otherwise any portion of the Honble Company’s garden in James’s Town. Resolved that least [sic] a different impression may have been conveyed to the Court by the 14th Paragh of the letter from the Governor and Council of the 20th August last, it is therefore expedient a Copy of these resolutions shall be forwarded to the Honble Court by the earliest opportunity. ---- Minutes of a Court of Directors held on November 17 1813 At a Court of Directors held on Wednesday the 17th November 1813 On reading ... The Request of Capn Harrington to take 3 Artificers with him to St Helena, for the reason which he has assigned Ordered that the said, Letter, Petition & Request be referred to the consideration of the Committee of Correspondence. ---- Minutes of Committee of Correspondence held on November 19 1813 1812 Reported that Captain Harrington, be permitted to take out with him to St Helena on the Scaleby Castle, three Artificers on their giving Security not to become chargeable to the Company. ---- Report of the Committee of Correspondence dated November 19 1813 At a Committee of Correspondence the 19th November 1813 No 306 Pursuant to reference of the Court of the 17th Instant, the Committee have considered the Request of Captain Harrington for permission to take out to St Helena on the Scaleby Castle three Artificers who have been employed in this country upon the Frame Work of his House and Warehouses and who, being excellent Workmen, will be found extremely useful on that Island.

I have &c (Signed) T Harrington April 20th 1814 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Thomas H Brooke Esqr Secy Sir The Honble the Governor and Council having determined that the ground between the Church and the Tavern applied for in my letter from England under date January 25th 1813 cannot be appropriated to my use without injury to the public Service, and the only mode by which I can possibly obviate this objection being attended with an expence which if added to the very serious ones which I have already incurred would leave me no hope of Success either as an agriculturist or a merchant at St Helena, I am obliged tho’ with no small reluctance to give up my intention of Settling upon this Island and as a last resource to proceed with my family and the Framework of my house and Warehouse to a place where I have the Honble Court’s permission to touch but where I am a perfect stranger, the Cape of Good Hope. Under these circumstances I should be wanting in common justice to myself if I did not state to you previous to my departure that the ground in question was pointed out to me by the late Governor himself as entirely unappropriated and as ground which might be built upon without detriment to the public Service that even to the last moment of my quitting England he never undeceived me in this respect, and that but for his assurances I never should have applied to our Honble Masters on the subject at all, under their Sanction the framework both of my house & Warehouse has been brought out here in the Scaleby Castle, and no stronger proof of the disappointment I have met with can be afforded than the tender which after so much risk and trouble I have now the honor to make to Government of the whole of the framework and Fittings, both external and internal of the Buildings in question, at the bona fide price including freight and other charges which they have cost me in England. The whole I may venture to assert without fear of contradiction are of a very superior description, the working plans I have in my possession are the most complete and the persons I have brought out with me to erect the buildings are in every respect equal to what they have undertaken. Should the tender I have made be considered inadmissible by the Honble the Governor and Council the Cape of Good Hope I take the liberty of repeating, is then my last resource, and I shall hope under all the circumstances of the case our Honble Masters will not visit me with their displeasure for making use of it. I beg to add that a small Investmt of China Goods of the value of about two thousand five hundred pounds intended for this Island which I commissioned last year and which I look for by the next Ships must now be disposed of at a considerable loss, unless the Honble the Governor and Council will be pleased to take the peculiar hardship of my case into their consideration, and allow my agents here to forward the goods in question to the Cape of Good Hope by the first opportunity after their arrival here, upon furnishing both to the Government and to Mr Pringle a regular invoice of the same and paying such duties on the value either here or at the Cape as our Honble Masters may deem proper.

The Governor and Council feel that much consideration is due to the peculiar circumstances under which you have arrived at this Island with the authority of the Court of Directors for settling here, and with the implicit sanction of the late Governor to erect a warehouse in front of the Sessions house & public offices adjoining. From the explanation however which you have already received verbally on the subject you must yourself be satisfied that the building could not be erected in the proposed situation without manifest and material public injury. But the Governor and Council would have been still disposed to go very great lengths for your accommodation by ceding to you the property in the range of buildings which form the Sessions house the Town Major’s office and the office of the Superintendant of Works on condition that you would provide an equal extent of accommodation for the public Service on the Site of the old buildings which form an angle with the Granary, had you acceded to the proposal the expence of constructing the ground story as a Market place would have been borne by the Honble Company, and a certain number of mechanics and labourers placed at your disposal to facilitate your carrying on the work. If the material change that has lately taken place affecting the views of all mercantile persons on this Island should not already have induced you to change your plans an arrangement to the above effect will still be at your option and altho’ the Governor & Council are perfectly aware that such an arrangement would materially increase the expense of your establishment they regret it is the only one they can suggest consistent with the duty they owe to the H’ble Company. With regard to the frameworks of the buildings mentioned in your letters, the Governor and Council decline accepting your tender. The Governor and Council do not conceive they have authority to sanction the exportation of China Goods to the Cape and they have some doubts how far Mr Pringle may be authorized to grant a licence for that purpose, but they will have no objection to the goods being landed here to await your reference to Mr Pringle. The Governor and Council will also feel it a justice to you particularly to explain to Mr Pringle the circumstances which have induced you to change your arrangements for settling here and recommend you to his general patronage & protection In reply to your letter of the 20th Int I am directed to state that the Governor and Council will not object to your manifesting the goods you desire to consign to England with the exception of the tea, the trade in which article is by the late Act placed under such special restrictions that they should apprehend a compliance with your request to be contrary to the instructions of the Honble Court. I am &c (Signed) T H Brooke Secy The following petition was received from Captain Harrington To The Worshipful The Governor & Council The Humble petition of T T Harrington sheweth That your petitioner for greater Security wishes to have registered in the Secretary’s office a Bond from the firm of Solomon Dickson & Taylor to your petitioner. And &c 25th April 1814 Granted ---- St Helena Consultation held on 2 May 1814 At a Consultation held on Monday the 2nd May 1814 at the Castle The following letter was received from Captain Harrington. Ths H Brooke Esqr Secy Sir I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 25th Int which speaks a language upon the subject of my disappointment at this Island in the highest degree grateful to my feelings, I am still however fearful of taking upon myself in the present state of St Helena such additional expence as the removal of the Buildings alluded to in that letter must necessarily be attended with and shall therefore proceed as soon as circumstances will permit to the Cape of Good Hope, In the mean time I beg to add that if agreeable to Government I should be happy to renew the tender of the Frame work of my house and Warehouse upon terms still more beneficial to the Honble Company than those already offered or even to place the whole at the disposal of Government without price, leaving it to our Honble Masters to arrange the matter on such terms as they may consider equitable and proper, under the peculiar circumstances of the case with my agents in England. With respect to my small investment of China goods looked for by the next fleet I entertain a hope that under the promised recommendation from this Government, I shall have no difficulty in obtaining the necessary licence for its being brought down to and landed at the Cape of Good Hope. Upon the subject of my letter of the 20th Int I beg to acquaint you that I shall ship on the Marquis Wellington the silk goods permitted by Government and the Nankeens on the Charles Grant or some other ship of the China fleet. The teas which are Souchong and Hyson Skin of good quality I beg leave to tender to Government at the price of one shilling and three pence per pound, or if that tender be not accepted, to take them on board the Scaleby Castle for sale at Batavia. I have &c (Signed) T Harrington 27th April 1814 The Secretary was directed to write the following answer. To Capt T T Harrington Commr H C S Scaleby Castle Sir I am directed by the Governor and Council to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 27th and to inform you that in rejecting your tender of the Frame works, they were by no means influenced by any objections to the prices than which nothing could be more fair, but the articles not being required here it would be unjustifiable to put the Honble Company to an unnecessary expence. From a similar motive they are also induced to reject your tender of the teas, but they will not object to your receiving them on board the Scaleby Castle for sale at Batavia. I have the Honor &c (Signed) T H Brooke Secy 29th April 1814 The following letters were written to be forwarded by the Scaleby Castle. To Jno Pringle Esqr Agent at the Cape of Good Hope Sir We have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated the 26th March with its accompanying Invoice, the despatches of Laurel and the papers relative to the transfer of the rendezvous from this Island to the Cape. We have also to thank you for the set of Cape Gazettes, and request you will offer our acknowledgements to His Excellency Sir Jno Cradock for his attention in writing to the Landroost [query Landdrost ] of the forest district in regard to seeds. The Governor will attend to the subject noticed in the 7th & 8th paragraphs of your letter. We enclose an extract of a letter from Captain Harrington of the Scaleby Castle applying for leave to consign to the Cape of Good Hope from hence sundry Articles of China Goods. But as we did not conceive we had authority to sanction such a proceeding we have postponed our determination until we can communicate with you. Such an application coming from any person differently circumstanced to Captain Harrington would at once have been decidedly rejected by us, but there is a peculiarity in his case which forms very strong claims upon the indulgence of the East India Company and its delegates. Captain Harrington when here homeward bound in 1812 formed an idea of settling on this Island and embarking in a mercantile concern a suggestion in which he was the further encouraged by the late Governor who held out to him the expectation of a plot of ground on the parade as a site for a Warehouse. The disposition of the Honble Court of Directors to favour the views of Captain Harrington is sufficiently manifested by their instructions to this Government, and the unprecedented extent of freight he has been allowed to occupy in the Scaleby Castle. Previous to his arrival it had been found that the ground pointed out to him by the late Governor could not be built upon without manifest public detriment. An offer was however made to him of another situation for his warehouse, but the late change of circumstances which must so materially affect every mercantile person on this Island & of which Captain Harrington was unsuspicious when he left England has rendered him fearful of taking upon himself the additional expence which the alteration in the site of his warehouse would involve and has induced him to relinquish his plan notwithstanding the bulk of his fortune has been embarked in the preparatory arrangements for carrying it into execution. Property therefore to a very large extent is now laying useless on his hands and he is equally at a loss in regard to the disposal of consignments from various quarters which his previous letters to Correspondents give him reason to expect here in a short time. From these circumstances we are disposed to go very great lengths for the accommodation of Captain Harrington a sentiment which we are persuaded will be in unison with the wishes of the Honble Court. If therefore under all the bearings of the case you can legally and without obvious impropriety licence the importation of Captain Harrington’s China Investment, we on our part shall be ready to authorize its being shipped & manifested at this Port and in the mean time we beg to recommend him to your patronage and protection. We enclose a report on the Salt provisions sent by the Susannah. Altho’ this meat is admitted to be of a wholesome description, yet as our Garrison has been only allowed three fresh meals in a year it is but just that their salt meat rations should be of the very best quality procurable: for this reason it is our opinion that Europe provisions should continue to be sent from England for the use of the Garrison, but the Cape Beef and Mutton being as already stated of a wholesome description will answer very well for our Chinese establishment, 110 [Tierces ] and 5700lbs Salted Cape Sheeps tails per annum will therefore suffice for this purpose, but should we receive an additional number of Chinese we shall give you the necessary information for increasing the annual quantity to 180 [Tierces] and 9600lbs of Sheeps tails. You will observe that the report of the Committee is most favourable to the provisions provided by the Government contractor. We have &c (Signed) M Wilks J Skelton W W Doveton Robt Leech 2d May 1814 ---- St Helena Consultation held on 4 July 1814 At a Consultation held on Monday the 4th July 1814 at the Castle. By His Majesty’s Ship Medway the following letters were received. To The Honorable Col Mark Wilks Governor &c Honble Sir I have the honor to enclose the duplicate of my letter dated 19th Ulto and the Cape Gazette of the 4th Instant. The Honble Company’s Ship Scaleby Castle arrived in Simons Bay on the 26th Ulto and every facility has been given to Captain Harrington towards accomplishing the objects he has in view. I have shipped on the Brig Good Hope about 19,000 Gallons of Wine and a Box of Garden Seeds but it will not be in my power to send any Sheep by her on this trip. I have &c (Signed) John Pringle Cape of Good Hope 7th June 1814 ---- St Helena Consultation held on 14 September 1815 At a Consultation held on Monday the 14th September 1815 at the Castle. The following letter from Capt Harrington was laid before the Board together with the annexed draft of the answer proposed to be returned. T H Brooke Esqr Secretary to Govt I humbly request permission to manifest at the Port and put on board the Honble Company’s Ship under my command, in my own privilege homewards, twenty two Boxes of Nankeens and about two hundred and seventy five Chests and Boxes of Hyson and Souchong teas, being part of a small Investment of China Goods concerning which it will be in your recollection that I addressed Government when here on my outward voyage. The Goods in question have been kept here by my Agents for upwards of a twelve month with the view of their being shipped on the Scaleby Castle for England, and with a similar view, I did not invest in China above the quantity of Tea usually taken home on a Commander’s privilege. Under the peculiar circumstances of my case as connected with St Helena I flatter myself this request will readily be complied with, and in the even it its being so, I beg you will be pleased to attach to the Manifest a note sufficiently explanatory to the Commissioners of H M Customs in England upon the subject. I have &c (Signed) T Harrington Septr 13 1815 ^^^^^^^ To Capt Thomas Harrington Commander of the HCS Scaleby Castle Sir In reply to your letter of the 13th I am directed by the Governor and Council to acquaint you that although my letter of the 25th April 1814 contained a refusal to permit the shipment of tea on another vessel, your declaration that the tea now intended to be manifested does actually form a portion of your privileged tea as Commander of a Company’s Ship trading to China, they consent to the Manifesting and Shipment of the same, conceiving that neither the Interests of the Honble Company nor that of His Majesty’s revenue can be injured by this permission as the measure will fall under the immediate revision of the Court of Directors, and His Majesty’s revenues are as giving neither opinion nor pledge with regard to the technical legality of the measure which if adopted must be entirely at your own risque. I am Sir &c (Signed) Ths H Brooke Secy 14th Septr 1815 ^^^^^^^^^ Mr Leech desires that the 8th clause of the Act 53rd of His present Majesty Ch 155 and the 1st clause of the 54th Ch 34 may be read which in his opinion forbids the practice of Shipping and manifesting teas at this Island. He also thinks Captain Harrington should be required to produce his manifest of private trade. Mr Doveton is of opinion that as all the Commanders of the HC Ships trading to China are privileged to carry home a certain quantity of tea, and as Captain Harrington has declared by his letter that he did not lay in the whole of his privilege at China in order to ship the tea left here on his account there should be no objection in granting his request. The Lieutenant Governor Captain Harrington should be called upon to produce the privilege of the Honble Court of Directors of the quantity of Tea he might take on board the Scaleby Castle. And he should be required to verify on oath that the quantity he has already on board that ship from China and what he now solicits the permission of the Government to manifest do not exceed the quantity allowed to that privilege. Those points being established to the satisfaction of the Board, I conceive there cannot be any objection to an acquiescence with Captain Harrington’s request now before the Board. The Governor I wish the extracts page 65 & page 73 in the Company’s directions to the Captains to be read which as I think determine all the points and communicate all the information required by the Lieut Governor. The Chapters of the Act of Parliament adduced by Mr Leech prohibit the trading in tea except by persons licensed by the Company. Captains of China Ships are so licenced; and a determination to refuse the manifesting of the tea in question now in this Island, and thus securing the payment of the duties in England without any possible injury to the Company, would be in effect to give to such tea a destination injurious to the Company and His Majesty’s revenues. Resolved by the majority that the proposed draft of the letter to Captain Harrington be adopted. ---- John Company at the Cape. Marcus Arkin. There were occasions, too, when Pringle was called upon to make special arrangements and close his eyes to numerous irregularities in order to meet the particular needs of persons especially favoured by the Directors. One such individual was Captain Harrington of the H.C.S. Scaleby Castle,200 who had intended establishing a merchandising business in Jamestown but relinquished the plan on hearing of the changes in the Company’s Charter; however, having already bought China goods valued at £2,500 to St. Helena, the Captain applied for their re-consignment to the Cape, and, in urging the Agent to meet this request, the Island governor referred to “The disposition of the Hon’ble Court of Directors to favour the views of Capt. Harrington; this is sufficiently manifested by the instructions on the peculiarity of his case and the unprecedented extent of freight he has been allowed to occupy on the Scaleby Castle … From these circumstances we are disposed to go to very great lengths for the accommodation of Capt. Harrington – a sentiment which we are persuaded will be in unison with the wishes of the Hon’ble Court … and in the meantime we beg to recommend him to your general patronage and protection.”201 Consequently, Pringle could do no less than afford the Captain “every facility, indulgence, and assistance when the Scaleby Castle arrived in Simons Bay at the end of May 1814.202 The Agent soon learnt, however, that besides bringing his Chinese investment for disposal in the Colony, Harrington had smuggled on board forty-two Chinese deserters from St. Helena; having now resolved to settle down at the Cape after completing the current round-voyage, the scheming Captain had hit upon the bright idea of inducing the runaways to build a home and several warehouses for him as the price of their passage back to Canton.203 Although the Jamestown Government was incensed at this breach of the strict rules on “the receiving of passengers without the necessary authority”, Pringle was cautioned to treat the incident “with discretion”204 – advice which did not resolve the likelihood of the ship sailing without some of the Cantonese, who would become a burden on the Agency “in the event of those people not being able to earn their permanent subsistence”.205 But Harrington was in no great hurry to leave for China: bad weather had interfered with the landing of his merchandise and had held up his building operations, but to depart on schedule would have meant “a sacrifice of Property which I flatter myself under the peculiar circumstances of my case, the Hon’ble Court would never require me to make …”206 Nor would he budge when reminded that “other interests” were involved, “at least of equal importance”, and that if he delayed further he would fail to reach Canton in time to join the next homeward-bound fleet.207 Against such arguments the Captain had his answer ready “I am too old and I may venture to add, too faithful a servant of the Hon. Company not to weigh their interests as well as my own at the present juncture; but as the situation in which I now stand was not originally of my own seeking – as it may be attributed solely I experienced at St. Helena, & as that disappointment was alike unexpected, unmerited, and severe – I cannot but entertain a confident hope that my prolonged stay here, arising from unfavourable circumstances beyond my Controul [sic] will readily be excused … ”208 When the Scaleby Castle did finally weigh anchor, it carried a request to the Select Committee to ship the Cape stores on the return voyage.209 Subsequently Harrington retired from the sea as planned, became a leading Cape Town merchant, took an active interest in the early operations of the Commercial Exchange (being elected a committee member in 1818),210 and even got himself appointed by the Czar as the first Russian consular representative in the Colony.211 200 An Indiaman of 1,250 tons which participated in the regular trade to Bengal as well as the Country” trade to China. 201 Wilks to Pringle, 2 May 1814, CGH.

It becomes necessary for me to remark on that paragraph which states that “in making known to me the preference this Government which was disposed to give to Benguela over the Cape of Good Hope for the Supply of Cattle, and in soliciting that the Transports might be employed to bring us Cattle from the former place when not otherwise wanted it was with the full knowledge at the time that both the Adamant and the David Transports were destined to return to the Cape of Good Hope &c &c I arrived from the Cape of Good Hope on the 23rd of November, and before I saw your Excellency or that you could be fully aware of all the regulations and arrangements I had made at that place to meet the Wants of this Island, I received your Letter dated on that day, wherein you state that you cannot avoid submitting to me your wish that the Transports may be employed henceforward in going solely to Benguela, unless circumstances of Service foreign to the particular wants of the Island, or of the Squadron under my Command should induce me to make a different disposition of them” and adding that “as the Adamant Transport was under sailing orders, you had thought it best not to delay transmitting an immediate reply to my letter” therefore had I complied with the wish of your Excellency, neither the Adamant, nor David, would have returned to the Cape, and Mr Luson must have been left to devise means to forward the Supplies. When I sailed from the Cape of Good Hope, Mr Luson could not have been aware of the pressing necessity there was to send hither a supply of Wine, or he would have mentioned it to me, and it would have been sent by the David, or Sun Flower [sic], instead of Oxen and Forage. With regard to that part of your Excellency’s Letter respecting general directions to the Senior Officer of His Majesty’s Ships at the Cape of Good Hope, I beg to add for your information the following Extract of his Orders. “Whenever Transports or Store Ships, are put under Orders to carry Supplies from hence to the Island of St Helena each Vessel is to receive Supplies of different kinds from Captain Harrington, consigned to the Purveyor of General Bonaparte’s Establishment, and to the Regimental Messes there, to the amount of thirty Tons, together with thirty Sheep and six Coops of poultry, in addition to which she is likewise to receive such Supplies as he may be instructed to ship for my use and that of the Officers of the Ships stationed at it, after which the remaining part of her Tonnage, or of the Live Stock she can carry, is to be appropriated to the Agent Victualler and to Mr Luson the East India Company’s Agent, in the proportion of one third to the former, and of two thirds to the latter, for the reception of the Supplies he may have instructions to send to St Helena.” “And such of His Majesty’s Ships as may at any time be under Orders to proceed to St Helena are to take on board such Supplies as they can conveniently carry, in the proportions of only a small Supply for General Bonaparte’s Establishment as well as for my use and that of the Officers of the Ships stationed at it, in case Captain Harrington should be instructed to ship any for the latter two purposes, and of the remainder in the proportions one third from the Agent Victualler, and of two thirds from Mr Luson.” These are the instructions he is enjoined to follow, unless he should receive Orders to the contrary from me. In some cases I have regulated the Cargoes of the Vessels, because great delay, expense and loss of tonnage is in loading Ships prepared to carry Oxen with other Supplies, without giving the Master timely notice thereof. The Adamant was nearly loaded with Salt Provisions and Wine the last time she arrived at this Island from the Cape of Good Hope; and in making my final arrangements respecting her return to that place, previous to her departure from hence to England, it was impossible for me to calculate on the immediate want of the latter Article. I have only to add that as far as the means at my disposal have allowed, they have been employed to meet your Excellency’s wishes respecting bringing Supplies to this Island; but the demands for Wine &c &c from the Cape of Good Hope, are so great, that I fear it will not be possible to divert the David and Hyaena to any other service, unless the measure I submitted to your Excellency in my last Letter on the subject of freighting Vessels, is adopted, which I am of opinion will ultimately prove the cheapest and best. His Majesty’s Ships from India have hitherto brought considerable supplies here, but as they have nearly all passed, I cannot calculate on drawing any further benefit from that source. I have &c (Signed) Pulty Malcolm Commander in Chief ---- Letter dated 4 January 1817 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Admiral Malcolm Plantation House 4th January 1817 Sir In consequence of the press of business before the sailing of the Orontes I was prevented addressing your Excellency any sooner on the subjects adverted to in your Letter of the 29th December. I am much concerned any Contrariety should have appeared in the contents of my Letter of the 28th and those which I had before the honor to address you. I must beg leave however to observe that my last adverted to that of the 30th November with its Inclosure, as much as to that of the 22nd November and the paragraphs of that of the 28th December, where I say “my Letter adverted to the circumstance of our receiving so many supplies of a different description from the Cape” which could refer only to that of 30th November, shews its contents to have been more particularly present to me. I wish further to observe that in the reference made in that of the 22nd November to the sailing of the Adamant transport (which had received her Orders to go to the Cape before your Excellency arrived here, without my having any knowledge of the particular object or service, on which she was proceeding, having even heard there was some intention of employing her in the removal of Troops to which my Letter of the 22nd November in a certain manner adverted) I had not the most remote idea of any change in her then destination, but only desired the general mode of her employment should undergo consideration before her final instructions were given, and any further fixed Supplies of Cattle from the Cape undertaken for. In respect to the Instructions delivered to the Senior Naval Officer at the Cape, of which your Excellency has been so obliging as to send me an Extract, I am so fully sensible of the great assistance we receive from every branch of the Naval Service in the important point of provisioning this Island, that nothing would be more remote from my intention than to request a communication of their nature or to expect to be informed of detail which lye entirely under your Excellency’s administration. My application was therefore only general, resulting from the immediate want of the Wine, for all the spare Tonnage which the Transports could afford. Favored however with a detail which embraces points which I ought in some degree to have become acquainted with, as regarding Supplies destined for Island use alone, I feel it my Duty to offer the following observations on the subject. The Purveyor for General Bonaparte’s Establishment is supplied with almost every Article he can require for the use of that Establishment from the Public Stores except Sheep and Poultry. The former even he can always obtain a supply of from the Company’s Stock Yard. Forage the only Article which can be considered of real bulk is drawn from the Commissary. The Regimental Messes have not I understand sent for anything material by either the David or the Adamant. The only Articles therefore which I conceive there has been any particular necessity to send for, are Sheep and Poultry. The Quantity of Thirty Tons of Tonnage directed to be given to Captain Harrington independent of the room allowed for the supplies above mentioned I am consequently in no respect aware to be particularly required, and I think it right to acquaint your Excellency that no application was made to me either by the Purveyor or the Regimental Messes regarding it. Of the Tonnage which remains after giving the Thirty Tons to Captn Harrington and receiving the Supplies which may be directed to be shipped for your Excellency’s use and that of the Naval Officers stationed at St Helena, one third it appears is directed to be given to the Agent Victualler and the remaining two thirds to Mr Luson, the East India Company’s Agent at the Cape. It is to be observed however that from the two thirds for the Island, is liable to be deducted the Supplies for my own use, for Brigr General Sir George Bingham and for the Staff Officers and Commissioners who are solely dependent upon our consideration, no separate provision being made for conveyance of any part thereof as in the case of the other Supplies destined to individual Consumption for which a specific allotment is directed, consequently I fear under the arrangements your Excellency has directed, little more than a half, if so much, of the Tonnage of the Transports could be appropriated for the Supply of the indispensable wants of the Troops. As in the Letters I have taken the liberty to address to your Excellency, in respect of the Transports, I have always borne in mind the ground on which they were detained here, pursuant to an application which Sir G Cockburn required me to make to him before he would consent to their remaining, I have the honor to enclose for your Information, Copy of the letter he wrote to me on the occasion. It adverts only to Cattle, but the nature of circumstances points out sufficiently fully, the expediency of our profiting by the same opportunity to receive supplies of other descriptions. In offering the above observations I beg to say it is principally to present explanation on points of which your Excellency may not have been before aware the object being in the whole the same as my Letter of the 28th December has already expressed, that of requesting that the spare Tonnages on board the Transports when they proceed to the Cape may, after the allotment of such Proportion as you may think fit for the Navy, be placed at the disposition of Mr Luson who will be instructed by the Government to make his distribution of it in such manner as the Vessel will best admit, and not to give place for the Shipment of any Articles on Individual account until the wants of the Public are firstly fully provided for. I beg to add that directions have been given to Mr Luson to freight a Vessel if required. I have &c (Signed) H Lowe Lt General ^^^^^^^^^^ Letter dated 23 May 1816 from Admiral Cockburn to Sir Hudson Lowe Northumberland St Helena Roads 23rd May 1816 Sir I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency’s Letter of this day, requesting me for the reasons therein stated (until the Court of Directors of the East India Company shall signify to your Excellency their orders as to the mode in which this necessary species of supply is to be obtained), to appropriate Tonnage of Transports to ensure the importation to this Island of a proportion of Oxen or Sheep equal to Fifty Bullocks per month; In reply to which I do myself the honor to inform your Excellency that there being at this moment a number of Transports here unappropriated and which would otherwise have returned to England in Ballast, I shall not hesitate in complying with your Excellency’s request; and I shall accordingly direct the Adamant (No 385) and the David (No 565), the two Transports which from their size and qualities appear best adapted for this service, to be appropriated for the purpose so soon as they are unloaded, and have every reason to hope that these Vessels with the assistance of the Hyæna when she returns from Rio Janeiro, aided by the casually passing Men of War, will keep up the specified supply, in the mean time the London (No 364) which brought Horses hither being at this moment the only Transport actually unloaded and ready for Sea, I will direct her (although from her size she be not so fit for the service as the above mentioned Vessels) to proceed to the Cape for One turn of Cattle &c immediately your Excellency’s letters shall be prepared with the necessary directions to the East India Company’s Agent at the Cape relative to the supplying and Shipping of the said Transport the proportion of Cattle she may prove adequate to receive. I have &c (Signed) G Cockburn Rear Admiral Commander in Chief ---- Letter dated 8 January 1817 from Admiral Malcolm to Sir Hudson Lowe St Helena 8th January 1817 Sir I have received your Excellency’s Letter of the 4th Instant. I cannot omit expressing my opinion that all this correspondence might have been avoided, if your Excellency had done me the favor to have consulted me on my return to the Island from the Cape of Good Hope, respecting the arrangements I had made there, with regard to the future supplies to be brought hither from that colony, instead of addressing me by Letter, before I had had the honor of seeing your Excellency. There could have been no difficulty in detaining the Adamant until every point was clearly understood; indeed she was not ready for Sea at the time, nor was she in that state till five days after the period alluded to. If an interview had taken place at the time referred to, I would have explained to your Excellency many points that an official Communication is but ill calculated to embrace; as well as put you in possession of such information as would in my mind have rendered it unnecessary for your Excellency either to acquaint me at this period, that of the Thirty Tons of Tonnage directed to be given to Captain Harrington, you are in no respect aware to be particularly required; or to mention Supplies for your own use, for Brigadier General Sir George Bingham, and any that might be required for the Staff, and Commissioners; however, in order that your Excellency may be able to judge of the expediency of allotting the before mentioned Tonnage to Captain Harrington; and at the same time to shew how far I have endeavoured to meet the wants of all parties on this Island, by adopting that measure, I shall simply observe, that it includes the supplies every individual on this Island may be permitted to import, either through him, or any other person, from the Cape of Good Hope, in His Majesty’s Store Ships or Transports, whenever those on the public account will admit of any, or all of it, being occupied; and also add that every article &c the heads of the departments your Excellency has mentioned, have applied for, has invariably been shipped, and since the establishment of that Tonnage included in it. I made that arrangement with Captain Harrington in consequence of my finding not only that he was Agent for the Purveyor of General Buonaparte’s Establishment, and the Commissioners, but for various other persons, and because it is always desirable to confine the Shippers, particularly of trifling supplies, to as small a number as possible, to prevent the great confusion that would otherwise arise. It will seldom occur that the supplies for this Island and the naval Force stationed at it, require to be shipped in the proportions stated in the extract of the Instructions I have furnished your Excellency with; hitherto the Tonnage allotted for the latter purpose, has never been near occupied, and the surplus has consequently been transferred to the former, this has also been the case with that allowed to Captain Harrington, or other Agents. No part of the Thirty Tons is to be occupied by them in the present case of the David. The Orontes brought nothing for the navy. Her spare Tonnage was taken up with supplies for the Garrison here. And this was also the case with the Spey, with the exception of a few Sheep. The Officers of the St Helena Regiment, have considerable Supplies coming hither in the Adamant, under the charge of one of the Officers who went up to the Cape of Good Hope in her to procure the same, and some of the 53rd got permission to ship certain supplies in her. All the applications from Military Officers for anything of that kind by the David, I rejected. By this explanation I am led to infer your Excellency will perceive that no deduction is liable to be made from the two thirds of the Tonnage referred to in your letter for the purposes particularly stated in that part of it; and to hope that it will also shew I have not neglected to make the separate provision which that paragraph of it mentions. As to the grounds on which the Transports were detained here, I have only to state for your Excellency’s information that I consider them as part of the naval Establishment of this Station, to be employed as I may judge best for the good of the Service; the principal object at present is to afford the Garrison of the Island the means of obtaining certain supplies; that has been their employment, and shall continue to be that of the remaining one, as well as that of the Hyaena Shore Ship, whenever she is disposable, unless something of more moment should occur to prevent it; but supplying the Island with necessaries will always be a primary object. I have now nothing further to add, than to state that the loading of the Transports at the Cape of Good Hope, rests in a great measure with the Senior Naval Officer stationed there; and that if Mr Luson is directed to consult with him I am certain no difficulties will occur; but we must avoid putting on board vessels fitted for the reception of oxen, more than a certain proportion of wine, or other Supplies, because it would occasion considerable delay, expense and loss of Tonnage. I have the honor to be, Sir, Your Excellency’s most obedient Humble Servant (Signed) Pulty Malcolm Commander in Chief ---- Letter dated 9 January 1817 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Admiral Malcolm Plantation House 9th January 1817 Sir Nothing could have been more remote from my intention than to have prolonged a Correspondence on the subject of the Letter which I received from your Excellency dated yesterday, but as you have expressed it as your opinion it might have been avoided altogether, if I had consulted you on your return from the Cape respecting the arrangements you had made for the Supplies of this Island, I owe it to myself to observe that, the Correspondence did not commence with me but in a Letter and Inclosure transmitted from yourself communicating arrangements expressed in a certain degree to have been made with my authority, and which notwithstanding did not meet the ideas which either the Council or I myself entertained on the subject of them. I was consequently either called upon to approve or to express my objection to you regarding them. I am further to add that in a very long interview which took place with you the day after my addressing you in writing, your Excellency merely did not consult me on the arrangement you had made as to giving Captn Harrington a certain quantity of Tonnage for this Island, but made no communication whatever to me prior to the sailing of the Adamant, in which the name of that Person or the facility given to him, was in any way mentioned. The only Person at the Cape of Good Hope who has any specific Authority from the Government of this Island is Mr Luson, the Agent of the East India Company. Whatever Tonnage your Excellency may please to allot for use of internal Supply at St Helena, it has been my request may be placed at his disposal, arranging for its reception with the Master of the Vessel himself, or with the Senior Naval Officer if your Excellency judges more convenient. This is all I have solicited. Notwithstanding your Excellency considers that the Transports form part of the Naval Establishment of this Station, and are liable to be employed as you may think most fit, yet this does not alter in any respect the original ground on which they were detained here; being specifically that of bringing to us certain description of Supplies, and when requesting after the allotment of Tonnage made for the Navy, that remaining for the use of the Army and the Island might be placed at the disposal of the only Agent which this Government authorizes, I conceive myself to have kept within the bounds of the least pretension I could have well urged on the occasion. I have nothing further to offer to your Excellency on the Subject, my only view and object throughout, having been to express the objection I felt to the importation of Cattle from the Cape of Good Hope by Vessels sent solely for that object, or to the exclusion of other Articles which we stand in need of from thence, and to keep the distribution of the whole of the Tonnage allotted for the Island, and which may be considered as annexed to the account of its Expenses, within the Control of its own Government and the official Agent employed by it. In other respects I have no wish to interfere with any Arrangements your Excellency may think fit to make, only reserving to myself the right of expressing or withholding my acquiescence, in points that relate to the Island alone. I have &c (Signed) H Lowe Lt General ---- Letter dated 12 January 1817 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Mr Luson St Helena 12th Jany 1817 Sir I have been favored with your letter of the 24th December. I have written to Lord Charles Somerset in respect of the affair of importing Cattle from the Cape. An unnecessary alarm appears to have prevailed as to our ceasing to draw Supplies from the Cape. We shall always have occasion to send there for Articles of other kinds without regarding Cattle as the staple Commodity, and without at the same time meaning to exclude ourselves from the advantages of receiving a Supply of them when we can. If greater expectations have been entertained they have been raised without my having given encouragement to them. I hope you will have been able to ship some Wine by the Adamant. Captn Harrington’s shipments will not I hope have interfered too much with your’s, and the Admiral informs me the whole of the spare tonnage of the David will have been placed at your disposal. I shall hope to receive your Account of Articles sent to me by the next Vessel, and will remit you an Order on London for the amount. I have &c (Signed) H Lowe Lt General J Luson Esqre Honble E I Compy’s Agent Cape of Good Hope ---- Letter dated 4 February 1817 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Admiral Malcolm Plantation House 4th February 1817 Sir As your Excellency may not perhaps have been exactly informed of the mode in which the spare Tonnage of the Adamant Transport was disposed of on her last arrival from the Cape, I do myself the honor to enclose to you an extract from the Register Master’s Report, by which it will appear that but an inconsiderable proportion of it was taken up by the Purveyor for General Bonaparte’s Establishment or the Regimental Messes. Mr Carrol, Mr McRitchey , Mr Lowden and Mr Solomon who are all retail Merchants in the Island, appearing to have drawn the principal advantage of the arrangement that was made in giving a proportion of the Tonnage to Mr Harrington, and I cannot exemplify the inconvenience of this in a stronger light, than by acquainting your Excellency that in consequence of Mr Luson, the Company’s Agent at the Cape, who had before this occasion met with every facility in embarking what he wanted by application to the Commanding Officer on the Spot not having been able to obtain the embarkation of any part of the Wine which was required of him on public account by the Adamant, this Government has been obliged to purchase Ten Casks imported by Mr Solomon, and has also had recourse to Mr Carrol for this Article whilst these persons have been enabled to import it free of Expense in the same Vessel. In addition to the Articles mentioned in the enclosed Extract, Mr Luson was enabled to embark for my Establishment six Sheep informing me that he was not able to obtain permission to embark any more. It is full as much as I could reasonably desire, and I should not lay any stress on Mr Luson’s remark if I did not observe Mr Lowden who is a Tavern Keeper was enabled to embark Nine. Your Excellency will I am persuaded disprove of this abuse of the indulgence granted to Mr Harrington unless it was the Master of the Transport’s own Act. In order to meet what I conceive to be your Excellency’s views as far as possible in informing you of the quantity of Tonnage which may be required for the importation of the Articles of which we stand in need from the Cape I have directed the Commissary in concurrence with the Storekeeper to prepare a calculation of the average quantity of wine, barley &c necessary for the consumption of one Year; it will be impossible for me I fear to exactly designate the quantities or proportions wanted by each Ship, because I cannot know by what casual and intermediate opportunities Mr Luson who is directed to avail himself of all, may profit in sending us the Articles we want, or how far he may be at all times ready with his supplies, but I conceive the best plan will be to do what I have already suggested, give a general order for all the spare Tonnage being placed at his disposition, until the Annual Supplies shall have been completed and that in no case when there are any Orders to execute from the Government shall any Articles be allowed to be embarked on private account. I shall be obliged for a Communication of any fresh Instructions your Excellency may give to the Commanding Officer at the Cape on the Subject, in order that the Government may regulate its directions to Mr Luson accordingly. In reference to the mode of supply for the Island it will not be thought perhaps irrelevant to mention, that previous to my departure from England I was informed at the Navy Board that the Naval Store Ships which had accompanied or followed Sir George Cockburn hither would be our principal resource, until other arrangements were made, one of them however, the Weymouth, had left this [word missing ?] before I arrived. The Hyaena the only remaining one has not brought us any Supplies since the Month of May last, now nearly Nine Months past; of the two Transports Sir G Cockburn left here at my requisition, one has sailed without bringing us the Supplies we wanted, and we are reduced to the remaining Transport and the Store Ship. These circumstances have placed us under the necessity of directing Mr Luson to take up freight. It becomes therefore of importance to know in what degree we can count on the aid to be derived from the Store Ship for the Service of the present Year, so far as your Excellency can prejudge, of any other casual employment to which she may be liable. I have &c (Signed) H Lowe Lt General ---- Letter dated 6 February 1817 from Admiral Malcolm to Sir Hudson Lowe St Helena 6th February 1817 Sir I had yesterday the honor to receive your Excellency’s letter dated the preceding day, together with its enclosure. I was perfectly aware of the manner in which the spare Tonnage of the Adamant was disposed of on her last return to this Island from the Cape of Good Hope, because one of the Lieutenants of the Newcastle superintended the loading of her at the latter place. The Articles imported by Mr Carrol were for the sole use of certain Officers of the 53rd Regiment, who applied for the same. No permission was granted to Messrs McRichey & Lowden, to ship a single Article, through any channel whatsoever, therefore those received by them, must have been obtained from the Master of the Transport, and passengers embarked in her for England, who to my knowledge disposed of a part of their stock here. As to the Wine imported by Mr Solomon I have to observe that Captain Cochrane of the Orontes intended to have brought him a few Casks, but at the time he was about to leave the Cape, he found the whole of her spare Tonnage taken up with Mr Luson’s supplies; in consequence of which, he desired they might be put on Board the Transports when the public service would admit of it; perhaps the quantity has been exceeded; however even that Wine, & the Barley the Master of the Adamant appears by the enclosure contained in your Excellency’s letter, to have brought here on his own account, were stowed on board her in places that are always considered entirely at the disposal of the Master of every Transport. In such places he mentioned to me his intention of bringing hither certain articles for the accommodation of his friends, in consequence of its being his last voyage to the Cape, to which I could of course start no objection. The other supplies mentioned in the abovementioned enclosure, which appears to have been received by private individuals are really so trifling as to render it unnecessary for me to take any further notice of them, than to add for your Excellency’s information that with the exception of four half Pipes of wine to a Member of Council of this Island, and one half of the Barley imported by Mr Balcombe for my use they must have been procured under the circumstances I have stated, without any detriment to the public service as the remainder of that Barley as well as other articles for his concern were shipped on account of Genl Bonaparte’s establishment; consequently I am not aware that any inconvenience has resulted from the appropriation of a certain Tonnage to Mr Harrington; neither am I prepared to believe that my instructions would have placed it out of Mr Luson’s power to send a certain proportion of Wine by the Adamant if he had represented to the Senior Naval Officer at the Cape of Good Hope the immediate necessity there was for a supply of that Article; however Captain Festing will be able to explain this on his arrival here At the time of the sailing of the Adamant from hence for the Cape I was only in possession of your Excellency’s letter of the 22nd November, by the tenor of which I must again state in substance what I have already done, namely that I was fully convinced you had devised other means to draw supplies of Wine &c from thence for this Island than the Transports could afford; & I had consequently no hesitation in giving her instructions to bring a supply of Oxen which I knew were prepared there for embarkation; & which she was able to receive in addition to the very considerable part of her Tonnage that was occupied by Stores for England & Provisions for the Soldiers put on board her for conveyance thither, as well as for the consumption of her own Crew; together with Supplies for the Island of ascension. When I urged to Mr Luson the necessity of sending hither a large supply of Wine before the commencement of the Winter at the Cape, he replied that there was only Store House room at St Helena for a certain proportion, which I understand is the case, otherwise I conclude he would have had instructions to send supplies of that article by every opportunity that might offer, & which the numerous men of War that have called at the Cape on their way to England would have afforded him ample means of doing. Therefore it does not even appear to me that any inconvenience has arisen, as to supplies for the Garrison of this Island, from the accident which happened to the Store Ship. With the present means I apprehend the principal wants of the Island may be duly met provided such timely notice is given thereof as the distance the Supplies have to be brought must necessarily require. However if those means should, contrary to my expectation be found inadequate, I will detain the first disposable Transport that arrives at the Cape of Good Hope, engaged on the terms His Majesty’s Government have established for the hire of Transports on the peace Establishment, but as your Excellency has informed me that Mr Luson is authorised to take up Freight I conceive I shall not have occasion to resort to that measure unless his instructions should be changed. And I cannot omit this opportunity of again expressing my opinion that Freighting vessels will ultimately prove the cheapest and best mode of bringing supplies hither from the Cape. The Hyaena & David are large ships & well calculated to carry Supplies of all kinds. But when Ships are fitted for the reception of Oxen they of course cannot receive such large proportions of a different description of Supplies as they would otherwise do, without occasioning much delay and expense, as I have in a former communication mentioned to Your Excellency. And if the homeward bound India Ships call at the Cape on their way hither which I understand they are directed to do, they will also afford Mr Luson opportunities of sending supplies of Wine here; but if your Excellency should think that he will have any difficulty in forwarding a sufficient quantity either the David or Hyaena must return to the Cape in stead of going to Benguela as proposed. At all events I would recommend that the latter Ship should be properly prepared and held in readiness to proceed to the Cape in the beginning of the next Summer at that place to bring down a complete Cargo of supplies of Wine and Grain. With regard to Mr Luson having informed your Excellency that he could not obtain permission to embark any more than six Sheep for your Establishment, & to your stating that you should not have laid any Stress on Mr Luson’s remark if you had not observed that Mr Lowden, who is a Tavern Keeper was enabled to embark nine, I beg to refer your Excellency to what I have already stated in this letter respecting the manner in which that person must have received the Nine Sheep, & to mention that I am not aware who could have refused to embark a greater number than Six for your Excellency. The Lieutenant under whose Command the Adamant was placed did not do so, and Captains Theed & Jones of the Leveret & Julia called on Mr Luson and offered to bring any thing he might have to send to Your Excellency, but he informed them that he had only some Grain to forward which the former brought. This has been the constant practice with the Commanders of His Majesty’s Ships. I feel obliged to your Excellency for the intimation you have given me of having directed an average calculation to be prepared for my information of the quantity of Wine, Barley, &c requisite for the consumption of one year. On the subject of communicating to your Excellency any fresh instructions I may give to the Commanding Naval Officer at the Cape I do myself the honor to acquaint you that after I was put in possession of your wishes respecting supplies for General Bonaparte’s Establishment &c &c I transmitted such general orders by the Eurydice on the 12th ultimo, as are fully calculated to meet your views, as far as regards all spare Tonnage being placed at the disposition of Mr Luson. In the former arrangements I made for Shipments, I only studied the general good, & as it was a Naval question I considered myself the best Judge. On certain observations contained in the concluding paragraph of your Excellency’s letter, I shall offer the following remarks. It will be seen that it has not been possible to employ the Hyaena Store Ship in bringing any supplies to this Island since the time your Excellency has stated in consequence of the Accident before alluded to, & of her having to perform a service of importance at the Cape of Good Hope, in the execution of which, she had met with an event that no person could foresee which will yet detain her there a little beyond I expected, & recently stated to your Excellency. By your Excellency’s representation it would appear that the Adamant has proceeded to England before all the Supplies required by this Island have been received; but it is to be observed that her return to the Cape would not have obviated the present inconvenience in the smallest degree, altho’ her last departure from here to that place, would have been the means of doing it, if the then want of Wine had been made known to me; therefore as my instructions respecting sending her to England were positive, it was my duty to comply with them. I have the honor to be, Sir, Your Excellency’s most obedient Humble Servant Pulty Malcolm Commander in Chief ---- Letter dated 8 March 1817 from Sir Thomas Reade to Sir Hudson Lowe 8th March 1817 My Dear Sir Inclosed are the Reports of the Two Ships arrived. I heard a small part of a Conversation betwixt the Admiral and Mr Brooke this Morning. The former is in a great rage and I see, that he talks Mr Brooke. He told Brooke to let the Officer of the 66th who is going to the Cape Know that whatever Stock he may wish to bring must be Shipped by Mr Luson and that if Wine was to be embarked no Sheep could be permitted to be put on Board and in fact that whatever was hipped [sic] for the Island must be done by Mr Luson. I fear the Admiral wants to make it appear that you are endeavouring to establish Mr Luson as a private agent as well as the Company’s and to throw Trade into his hands, is so nettled at Mr Harrington having been mentioned in the Correspondence betwixt you. (Signed) T Reade ---- Letter dated 29 April [1817] from Mr Harrington to Mr Solomon Cape Town April 29th [1817] Dear Sir Yours of the 25 Ultmo is before me, but I can send you Nothing by the David. The Admiral’s Orders are so strict that the Commissionary is afraid to interfere, and, tho’ Captain Wauchope would do any Thing to oblige me, yet I must not let him suffer by his good Nature. Mr Luson whom I have seen this Morning on the Subject has promised to spare me some Tonnage in the Adolphus, if possible, and I hope and trust he will, for whilst your Wine remains where it is now in my Store, it does you no Good, occupies a great deal of Room, and locks up my Cash to no purpose. Capt Stanfell, with every Wish to assist your Views, can, in the present Case, do Nothing. I am sorry to hear that there is so much Difficulty in making Remittances from St Helena. If Delay takes place there a favourable Exchange can not be allowed here of course. Indeed I do not know what rate of Exchange will pay a Merchant here, should such Delay be continued. Anxiously wishing that the Regulations of your Government were more favourable to Individuals than they are at present, I am Yrs very Obedy T T Harrington Mr S Solomon ---- Letter dated 6 May 1817 from Mr Luson to Sir Hudson Lowe Cape of Good Hope 6th May 1817 Sir I now do myself the honor of acknowledging the receipt of your Excellency’s letter of the 8th March last, and I hope that by the arrangements therein made little or no difficulty will exist in future on the Subject of Freight. In conforming to your directions in the first instance I was necessarily obliged to reduce the demands of General Bonaparte something, and of the Austrian Commissioner and of the 66th Mess considerably, and if I have still occupied too much space on their account I trust you will believe that I have done the best I could and that what has gone on board the David is so trifling that the room taken up would hardly have been an object to the Island. An order had been given by Captn Wauchope for the Master to receive on board 15 Pipes of Wine from Captn Harrington for Individuals at St Helena but in consequence of the positive directions in Your Excellency’s letter the Order was not acted upon. I beg to assure your Excellency that in filling up the Freight that may in future be placed at my disposal I shall most strictly conform to your Instructions at the same time endeavouring to give every consideration to other demands consistent with the public Service. I have &c Signed Josh Luson Agent Honble E I Comy Letter dated 9 August 1817 from Mr Harrington to Mr Solomon Seaforth August 9 [1817] Dear Sir I had prepared for you to go by the Maria as follows viz: 214 lbs Apples 100 ” Peaches 10,000 Walnuts 200 lbs Raisins 1 Cwt English Soap 4 Half Pipes of Wine 6 Baskets of Green Fruit. Part of the above were actually on Board the Maria but Mr Luson heard of it, & kicked up such a Dust on the occasion that Captn Walton was obliged to reland them, and now the whole are upon my hands, together with the Expenses incurred of Wagon hire from Cape Town, &c and no Benefit resulting to either of us. You must see I do every thing for you in my Power, but while the present System continues Nothing can be more vexatious than the Situation of your Agents here. I have written to the Admiral’s Secy on the Subject & sent a Copy of my Letter to Mr Cole which he will shew you. Follow the Letter up with a strong Representation to the Admiral on behalf of as many Inhabitants of the Island as you can persuade to join in it, and some Change must take place in your favour. Such is my Advice at least, and it certainly is worth the Consideration of you all. Your Supplies will keep til another Opportunity presents itself, but when that will be heaven only knows. Yours very obedly (Signed) T T Harrington Mr S Solomon ---- Letter dated 22 September 1817 from Mr Cole to Sir Hudson Lowe St Helena September 22d 1817 Excellent Sir Having been informed by Mr Balcombe that your Excellency is greatly displeased with my Conduct I trust I shall not be presuming in addressing you. I learnt with concern from Mr Balcombe that your Excellency considered my behaviour to have been disrespectful towards you and that I have been in league with Mr Harrington at the Cape in abetting his views to get the restrictions on the Trade of this Island relieved. I cannot in any instance accuse myself of any disrespect towards your Excellency either in word or action, but as contrary as possible having felt always desirous to exert myself in any and every way to meet your Excellency’s commands or desires whenever I obtained them, and in regard to Mr Harrington I have been ever silent. No merchant upon this Island can come forward and say that I have conversed with them upon the restrictions of the Trade or circulated Mr Harrington’s opinions. I should feel thankful if your Excellency would order the Strictest Scrutiny to be made into my Conduct respecting Mr Harrington and I am ready to produce every Letter I have received from him or that has been received by this Firm since my arrival as a resident upon this Island. I cannot but suspect that my Conduct has been calumniated and I am anxious to know my accusers. My private correspondence with Mr Harrington has been solely on subjects of Friendship having formerly spent several years much with him and I beg to assure your Excellency that I have never written a line to him during the whole course of my acquaintance that I should not feel satisfied for your Excellency to peruse. I am truly unconscious of any transaction on my part relative to Mr Harrington that could possibly give your Excellency offence, if you would permit it to be investigated and your Excellency cannot I am assured consider me amenable for Mr Harrington’s correspondence with others, or attach any blame to me for the incorrectness of his Ideas. To Mr Balcombe I look up as my best and sincere Friend, and I should be truly distressed to experience ant diminution of his confidence which from Interest I am bound to preserve but much more from gratitude. I therefore most humbly solicit your Excellency to do me the justice that my serious situation calls for, and as I am at a loss what faults I have to vindicate I can only assure your Excellency of my submission I have the honor to be Your Excellency’s Most obedient Humble Servant Joseph Cole His Excellency Lt General Sir Hudson Lowe K C B &c &c &c ---- Letter dated 1 December 1817 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Mr Luson St Helena 1st Decr 1817 My dear Sir Mr Brooke transmits to you by this occasion my licence, if it is required for a Vessel to come hither with stores for the Island to be shipped by you & part of her to be appropriated to the service of Individuals according to a list which Mr Brooke encloses to you. You are requested to use particular caution in respect to the vessel employed both as to its owner & its Master. I have very little knowledge of any commercial houses at the Cape, but that of Mr Harrington which appears to be best most known here, has not inspired me with such confidence as to desire that any encouragement whatever should be afforded to it, in any demand either for hire of vessel or for freight. Mr Heathorn who proceeds to the Cape by this opportunity has obtained my assent to embarking some articles on his own account. He applied also to hire a vessel, but this I did not assent to. I wish to be precisely informed with whom his connections are at the Cape & elsewhere. You will oblige me by ascertaining these points You will oblige me to ascertain if Mr De Lettre to whom you sent the note saying Captn Hicks could not receive the articles for the Commissioners ever shewed to Captn Hicks the list signed by me. [unsigned] ---- Letter dated 1 December 1817 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Lord Somerset St Helena 1st December 1817 My Lord I think it right to inform Your Lordship that by the Hyæna I have sent a Licence to Mr Luson to freight a vessel with supplies for this Island and to give up a certain portion of the freight for the use of Private Individuals so we may not bear the whole expense of her Hire. An advantage is thus open to private Merchants to send some small adventures here, which however considering the smallness of the Population of this Island can never give rise to any great expectations. I have recommended Mr Luson to use every caution in respect to the owners and the Master of the Vessel which He may hire. I have no acquaintance with any Commercial House at the Cape. That of Mr Harrington which appears to be most known here has not inspired me with much confidence as he used the most indecent means to force a Trade with this Island and to raise obstacles amongst the few Commercial persons residing in it against my authority; arising very probably from his disappointment at my not concurring with an Arrangement made by Sir P Malcolm when at the Cape, by which He was to have had 30 Tons of Tonnage allotted to him on Board the Government Vessels on the ground of shipping supplies for General Bonaparte’s establishment and for the Regl Messes and which was applied as I conjectured it would be for the greater part, to purposes of private trade. This and other considerations have induced me not to recommend his employment to Mr Luson either for Hire of Vessel or for freight, but the causes I have not thought it necessary to make known to him, and are merely stated for Your Lordship’s general information, if the Circumstances should attract in any way your regard. (Signed) H Lowe Lord Charles Somerset Cape of Good Hope ---- Letter dated 16 January 1818 from Mr Harrington to Mr Luson Seaforth Jany 16th 1818 Dear Sir Understanding that His Excellency Sir Hudson Lowe, impressed with the Belief that I am in the Habit of indulging myself in Reflections against his Government, has lately both conceived and declared an unfavourable Opinion of my Character, I request you will be pleased to ascertain for me if such be really the Case. Permit me to observe meanwhile that as an old Servant of the Honble Company, many years holding an equally responsible and respectable Situation under their Authority, it is not likely I should so far forget what is due to their Representative, and still less is it probable, in my present Situation, that I should seek to destroy my own Connections with St Helena. It is true, when annoyed and vex’d by the Difficulties which every Agent here has more or less experienced in executing any Commission whatever for St Helena I may have written to my Constituents there as I felt at the Moment, wish’d for a little more Room to move, and urged them, as their Supplies from hence were necessary or otherwise, to write in petitioning Government for some Relief; but I am clear that neither from my Lips nor my Pen has any Thing proceeded in the slightest degree disrespectful either to the Government or to Sir Hudson Lowe as the Head of it. May I beg you will say this much for me in your next private Letter to His Excellency and if you will have the Goodness to add a short Statement of the peculiar Circumstances which compelled originally to leave St Helena and have fix’d me here, perhaps he may think I am not altogether without Claim to particular Indulgence in my Intercourse with the Island. Coll Beatson and Coll Wilks, with whom I have the Honor to be on the most intimate Terms, both thought so, and I am sure, when you reflect, how much my Fortune and [my] Prospects in Life have suffered since I first quitted St Helena in the Scaleby Castle, you must be of that Opinion yourself. In my own person I have never ceased to regret the Necessity which obliged me to forego my Plan of residing at St Helena, and never shall I cease to know or continue to feel what is due to me on that Account, or to the Stations I held for so many Years in the Company’s Service and the Character I supported in it. Believe me, Dear Sir, Yours very truly T T Harrington Joseph Luson Esq &c &c &c ---- Letter dated 22 January 1818 from Mr Luson to Sir Hudson Lowe Cape Town 22 January 1818 Dear Sir I have now the honor of replying more at length to Your [favor] of [1st] December and according to the wishes contained therein I wrote to Sir Jahleel Brenton offering him Tonnage in any Vessel that might be engaged by me & requesting the favor of his opinion as to the terms on which the Vessel was to be taken up. Mr Rivers my Assistant went to Simons Town as I was prevented by unavoidable causes & saw Sir Jahleel who said that their supplies were so uncertain in being demanded that he thought it better not to consider in any way the Naval supplies but to make the agreements corresponding with my own demands. He felt however extremely obliged by the offer. I have therefore advertised for a Ship to be in readiness by the 9th February so as sail by the latter end of the Month by which time I hope most of the Flour will be ready. Her conditions of Charterparty are forwarded with my official letter & I trust the care that I have taken to prevent abuse will meet Your approbation. I shall as You desire consider the character of the Owner & Master of the Vessel I may take up, nor shall I be unmindful of the opinion expressed by You respecting Mr Harrington who however called on me last week and stated that Mr Heathorn had mentioned to him that You were much offended at some expressions it was said he had used reflecting in some measure on Your Government for which he expressed much concern; and begged I would enclose You a written explanation on the subject which I hope You will excuse my having done. He is however totally unacquainted with the opinion expressed by You in Your last letter to me. Every enquiry I have made with respect to Mr Heathorn produced no very particular information. He appears to be totally unconnected with & unknown to every person here with whom I have spoken and all that I can learn is that his Father was a Brewer, himself bred to the [Land] and that about 18 Months age he was here a few days & had then some idea of joining a dutch Gentleman in a Brewing Concern but upon his arrival in England he appears to have given up such a scheme and returned to this Colony with the view as I understand of engaging to supply the Garrison of St Helena & the Navy of the Station. I am now informed that he has abandoned this plan & intends returning to England in a Ship that is daily expected from China which is Commanded by his Brother. The trouble therefore I had in executing Your private Commissions was little; but sometimes as I have occasional demands on me from England and the payment by Instalments of the purchase money of a house here I was a little inconvenienced in a pecuniary point of view, which however by Your remittance of the larger part of Your last Year’s Commissions I have not felt much and as Mr Rivers the Brother in law of Mr Alexander the Colonial Secretary is about to establish himself as a General Agent I have requested him to execute Your Orders for the present Year for which he will charge the usual Commission and I think by his connexions in the Country he will be better able to secure good Articles than I could: he has advanced Dr Verling 450 Rix dollars on account of Sir Thomas Read [sic] and also paid Major Rogers for the 80 Spanish dollars which in Your former letter You desired me to pay. If however there is anything that You should hereafter find that I procured of better quality than what Mr Rivers may be able to send I shall be most happy to execute Your Commands. My last Year’s Account amounting to 766 Spanish dollars at the average price of Spanish dollars including a payment to Major Abbey on Sir Thomas Read’s account which the latter Gentleman requested me to pay & place it to Your Account, I beg You will be pleased to pay to Mr Brooke after deducting £Stg 100 which You have already remitted. Mr Brooke will take the trouble of sending home the balance which he will add to his own little account with me. I inclosed to Captn Hicks myself the list signed by You for the Articles that Mr De Lettre was Commissioned to secure requesting to know if he could receive them on board and the following Morning Captn Hicks delivered back the list to me stating that he could not receive the Articles which I immediately communicated to Mr de Lettre in writing when I returned him the list. Having replied so far to Your letter I beg to request Your attention to the conduct of Mr Magnus the Agent for Mr Solomon of St Helena. I heard by public Report that he had laden about 60 Tons of Merchandise on a Ship named the Comet & which was to go down to St Helena & get permission to go in. I thought in justice to Your own extreme caution with respect to passing Vessels approaching the Island & to other [ ] I could not omit from pointing out to Mr Magnus the risk he was about to run and he positively denied ever having had such an intention and declared that he was going with his Goods to the River plate. However [ ] Mr Christian the Agent or owner of the Comet who told me that Mr Magnus had acquainted him that he had Your sanction for what he was doing, but as he then found he had been so far deceived he should reland the Goods which was accordingly done. Two days after however Mr Magnus wrote to me a letter (copy of which & my reply are enclosed to Mr Brooke) requesting my Sanction to his shipping for St Helena the Goods which he had purchased with that view although he had previously denied to me having any such intention. He afterwards endeavoured to ship his Goods on the Perseverance without success; he eventually shipped them again on the Sherborne from which Vessel they were relanded by the Master when he understood that the Shipment was illegal; and in both instances he did not mention to the Masters of these Vessels that he had met with previous difficulties. The Captain of the Elizabeth a private Trader now here called on me this week to know if there was any objection to his touching at St Helena which of course I gave him to understand he was not at liberty to do but I have since heard that he intends proceeding to the Island and will in all probability take Mr Magnus’s Merchandise. I wrote to Captn Forest of the Elizabeth stating that his proceeding thither was in my opinion unauthorised but I still believe he will touch at the Island; I have been actuated in this business by no other consideration than of preventing so far as in my power unlicensed Ships proceeding to St Helena; and I have no doubt that You will approve of what I have done for I could not believe that You would have allowed Mr Magnus to put Merchandise on board of any Vessel the Master of which he could [persuade] to go St Helena without having such authority in writing which if he had produced would at once have set the matter at rest. I fear that the Commissioner still wishes to have all the Naval Transports ordered round to Simons Bay without coming to Table Bay at all; if such [ ] should be determined on the Garrison supplies will be greatly enhanced in price; a mere reference to the Tenders for Barley which I communicated to Mr Brooke in my last letter will shew a difference in price of about 25 per Cent in that Article alone; there is as much in the price of Hay; as for Wine it is absolutely impossible unless Stores were taken by the Company & fitted permanently with [ ] Vats for the reception of Wine in Simons Town to get so much as Your Demands amount to and then at a very great increase in price besides the risk, the separate Establishment of a Wine Storekeeper, Cooper &c and no Contractor for one, two or three Years holding a contract could go to such an expense. The Wine here is still very dear. I have advertised however for the supply and shall be governed by the offers whether to take the whole or only half the Year’s supply now, and the remainder 8 or 9 months hence, The form of Tender I send to Mr Brooke; it is drawn out in such a way as will enable me to judge whether there is a possibility of getting more advantageous offers by taking off the whole quantity before the New Wine comes into Town in the months of October, November, December & January; the advantage to the Contractor would be in having the Wine they contracted to deliver demanded before that period; that their Stores and Casks would be empty for the reception of New Wine; and their having ready money to make purchases at that period. The advantage to Your Government is that it is absolutely impossible for You to receive any other Wine than that of 18 or 20 months old as no Wine of the Vintage immediately preceding has then arrived in Town. The falling off in the amount of the East India Company’s Sales at the Cape together with the very high price of Wine this Year may I fear reduce their funds so low as to be scarcely sufficient to meet all Your wants. In case such an event occurs (which however I still hope it may not) I beg to be favored with Your Directions how to act & should such necessity exist upon whom and by whose authority I ought to draw as the [ ] Directions have given me no instructions on this subject not calculating I suppose on the probability of such a circumstance taking place. I have the honor to remain My dear Sir Your very obedt Servant Jos Luson His Excy Sir H Lowe K C B &c &c &c ---- Letter dated 25 January 1818 from Lord Somerset to Sir Hudson Lowe Cape of Good Hope January 25th 1818 [sic] I had the honor on the 31st Decr to receive Your Excellency’s letter (private) of the 1st of that month and am much obliged to you for the information you are so good as to give me relative to the arrangement You have made for the Portion of Freight to be appropriated to the use of private individuals in a vessel to be hired by Mr Luson for supplies to St Helena. It is indeed with very great concern that I learn that Mr Harrington has given you cause of displeasure. He is the only person here in the mercantile line for whom I feel any peculiar interest. He came out here with the strongest recommendations to me from persons of great respectability and to whom I am attached by ties of personal regard. Exclusive however of every private feeling for Mr Harrington’s success, he merits all the support the Govr of this settlement can afford him, being the only person who has embarked a very large capital in the colony. Indeed his Buildings & other preparation for a widely extended trade are upon a scale so expensive that I fear they can never repay him altho’ they cannot fail to be a lasting benefit to the colony. It was I believe chiefly owing to the Interest I felt in Mr Harrington’s success that Sir Pulteney Malcolm was induced to afford him the 30 Ton of freight & I very sincerely hope that on a minute investigation it may appear to your Excellency that there has been no wilful intention on the part of Mr Harrington to oppose or counter act your wishes. The account I have heard of the difficulty of obtaining supplies at St Helena & the consequent high price of all articles of supply induce me to take the liberty of suggesting whether some further extension of the intercourse between this place & your Island might not under such restrictions as you deem wise to dictate be expedient, & which would leave the whole of the Tonnage on Board H M’s Storeships & the naval Transports for the supply of your Excellency, the Government, the Commissioners & General Bonaparte’s Establishment & which would also prevent the possibility of any improper use being made of those Ships. Your Excellency can judge so much better than myself what the restrictions should be by which this Plan should be regulated that I scarcely venture to suggest any for the guidance of those employed. I have only to say that I shall be most happy to be [useful] in any way. I have ventured to sketch out a few regulations which strike me as applicable to guard against any evil which might arise from the intercourse proposed, which I enclose. I beg to repeat to you the gratification My Daughter & myself should experience in being honoured with a visit here from Lady Lowe whose health I am persuaded will be entirely restored by a few months spent in this delightful climate. I have the honor to be &c &c Charles Henry Somerset Lt General Sir Hudson Lowe KCB &c &c &c ---- Letter dated 10 February 1818 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Lord Somerset St Helena 10th February 1818 My Lord I have just time before the sailing of the Hardy Schooner to return your Lordship my best thanks for your obliging Communication of the 28th January . When I wrote respecting Mr Harrington I had not the most distant idea he was a Person who enjoyed any particular share of your Lordship’s countenance and consideration, for I should have in such a case felt it my duty apologize for the freedom with which I addressed myself regarding him. In other respects, however, my opinions would have remained the same as to the line of proceeding he had adopted, in the matters that draw forth my reflections upon him. I know not whether it is he altogether who is to blame, but your Lordship has only to suppose the case of a Merchant of another Colony writing Letters to the Admiral’s Secretary (whom we will suppose to be established at the Cape) sending Copies of that Letter to his correspondents there, and writing to other Individuals to incite them to join in Memorials against the Government’s proceedings in order to force a change, when you will readily Judge of my motives of objection against Mr Harrington; and yet the only grievance complained of was that I opposed freight being given on board Vessels of which Government paid the Expense whilst we were prevented from receiving our own supplies by the same Vessels. It will hardly be credited by your Lordship that, at a time when the Masters of Transports have literally refused to receive Barley on board their Vessels on Government Account, they have brought it here on private account, to sell at a Profit of 100 per Cent, and sometimes of 200 per Cent. When freight has been offered on board private Ships there has been the greatest indifference manifested. On public notice being given a short time since that Tonnage would be allowed to any Merchant or Shopkeeper who applied for it, the whole amount demanded was 91 Tons. Mr Harrington’s principal correspondent here only required Two Tons. He had made his arrangements for procuring Supplies at a cheaper rate by the Hyaena and Government has in the meantime been left to want. I do not think however this again likely to occur as Admiral Plampin will not uphold such a System. The Rules your Lordship has enclosed me a Memorandum of, appear well calculated to obviate inconvenience from licensing Vessels to come here, but I fear there is not a Market here for any considerable consumption. In the meantime, the Vessels that have been hired, the opportunity of passing Vessels, and the Storeship and Transport will be found adequate to the supply of all our wants for some time to come. If any arrangement should take place by which fresh licences will become necessary, I shall not fail to attend to, and profit by, the hints your Lordship has had the goodness to afford me. The Schooner is despatched expressly on account of our disappointment by the Hyaena, Mr Harrington having been more fortunate in obtaining Shipment for his Supplies than the Government has been.

The arrangement you have made in respect to Mr Richie’s sheep meets my entire Consent, of which I beg you to acquaint him, though the few personal wants I have from the Cape, will hardly present a consideration worth the trouble he will have. Mr Brooke writes to you about Mr Harrington. It is not required you should shew him Mr Brooke’s Letter, or treat of its contents in anyhing like an official way. They are merely arguments, upon which you may reason with him, should he again speak to you upon the subject. Lord Chas has written to me regarding him, but I do not reply to his Lordship by the present opportunity*, it being a very hurried one, rendered so on account of our real wants in the Articles Mr Brooke writes to you concerning.

H L ---- Seemingly draft with amendments of letter dated 10 February 1818 or 16 February 1818 from Mr Brooke to Mr Luson My Dear Sir Enclosed is a letter containing some remarks of the Governor’s reply to upon the observations of Mr Harrington as transmitted thro’ your hands to His Excellency him. It is not his intention It is his He wishes Although he is desirous that the substance of it may be communicated to this gentleman, but he does not wish you to deliver him it to be given him for perusal They are made [ ] that you [ ] if you think proper the substance [ ] them to that Gentleman but there is no necessity to [ ] him the letter containing them the Govr having no inclination intention to enter into a further discussion of the subject and he therefore requests desires that should Capt Mr Harrington desire solicit you to be the median of any additional further communication on this point you will decline [ ] a resumption with the application not encourage him in [ ] [ ] Lord Charles has written favorably regarding him but he appears to have taken up a strange course and to be too intent on [ ] It is alleged by Capt Hicks that you made no application to embark barley. The Governor is anxious to know how far such an of the assertion be this is correct, and if you did apply for this its shipment, in what terms he wishes also to be informed of all the nature of the communication & of all particulars which occurred on this occasion ---- Seemingly draft with amendments of letter dated 10 February 1818 or 18 February 1818 from Mr Brooke to Mr Luson [10 Feb 1818] My Dear Sir The Governor desires me to state that that he has de read the letter you have sent to him from Mr Harrington , he knows nothing of Mr Harrington having indulged in any reflection on him or his Governt because the only cause of his remarks upon Mr Harrington are is what his own letter refers adverts to. So far as meeting with any impediment in procuring articles they want from the Cape Messrs Balcombe & Cole Mr Harrington’s principal correspondents here were offered a share of freight on board the licensed Ship taken up by Mr Luson & all they applied for was two tons which was immediately granted to them, the same offer was made to unsought & uncalled for to all the other merchants & even shopkeepers here & a similar facility has been acceded for their receiving supplies from Rio de Janeiro in a vessel which sailed late[ly]. The Govr is therefore not aware that they stand in need of Mr Harrington’s advice or interference to petition for any relief of from what they do not suffer from under. It may better suit the convenience of Mr Harrington himself or of those he called his constituents here to receive the articles they want from the Cape on board vessels for which Govnt pays the freight & then compel the Govnt of this Island to pay a profit of 100 & in some cases of 200 per cent upon the articles thus imported, but this scandalous species of monopoly he the Govr shall constantly oppose & resist. It is a very remarkable circumstance that though Messrs Balcombe & Cole declined taking any more than 2 tons freight on board the vessel which was offered to them, they have found means of importing a pretty good stock of articles on board in the Hyæna naval Store Ship, whilst the Govnt supplies on board that vessel have proved insufficient deficient. This points to the real object for which Mr Harrington is so solicitous his constituents should apply to obtain relief assistance is looked to cause of the Govr’s remarks upon Mr Harrington. The Govr has no personal knowledge or acquaintance whatever with Mr Harrington, but so long as he finds his name or shipments stand in the way of the governt receiving the full quantity of supplies by the vessels for of which Govnt pays the cost, it is impossible for the Govr to consider him as a person to whom any encouragement is due for carrying on his current concerns with the Island or for shipments on private account you are well aware the Govr has never [ ] The attempts to form a trade on board Govnt vessels whil[st] at the same time offers of shipment as private vessels ones are disregarded can never thrive, nor will to can petition for release from restraint which Mercahnts may be under on the former point bear the light. If Mr Harrington should reply that when at the time he made the observations alluded to, equal the same kind of facilities lately granted did not invariably exist, he may be informed that neither the Governor not the Govr& C the Council were so unmindful of the interests of the Inhabitants as to require the interference of Mr Harrington his interposition the interposition of Mr Harrington to favor their view as necessary to toward their views render the interposition of an intermediate party necessary to support their claims. ---- Letter dated 24 February 1818 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Earl Bathurst St Helena 24th February 1818 My Lord Your Lordship cannot fail to have observed in Major Gorrequer’s report of the examination of General Gourgaud’s Papers the remark made by the latter of two Copies of the Packet addressed to the Earl of Liverpool having been privately sent to England for Publication, and that the General said there was no difficulty in sending any letter they pleased. A more important piece of Information he has given on another point – that of an equal facility of obtaining money here. He does not state any Individuals, but the number of Persons who have free access to Longwood is so few that suspicion must too naturally fall on some of them. Those I refer to are Mr Balcombe the Purveyor (his wife or daughters who occasionally visit Madame Bertrand on my passes in the same manner as other persons) and Mr Cole his Partner, who is also Postmaster. It is by Messrs Balcombe & Cole that the whole pecuniary business of the Persons at Longwood is managed, but to obviate as far as possible any abuse the signature of the Orderly Officer is required to every paper that is sent or received; where any money is drawn in their name or paid to them, my signature is always affixed before the transaction can take effect. Thus far the prescribed forms have been always apparently complied with, but of any private transactions beyond these I have no means of being informed, or even checking; unless by adopting the Rule of never allowing any interview to take place between Mr Balcombe and Cole, & the persons at Longwood unless in the presence of a British officer; and in fact making a general change altogether in the System of Purveyorship What makes my suspicion fall the more strongly on these persons is the particular Intimacy subsisting between them and Mr O’Meara, which long since made me caution Mr Balcombe against adopting him as a Medium of Interpretation with the Persons at Longwood; desiring he would always apply to the Orderly Officer; but though he has attended to my suggestion in this and some other particulars, his Intimacy has since been increased rather than abated in other points. Another Individual on whom my suspicions had fallen and who lived within Longwood, I sometime since removed. I cannot at present look any further All these persons I found established in their respective situations at the time of my arrival here, and all bore the highest recommendations. Mr Balcombe is very warmly protected by Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt – his Father was drowned by a Yacht in which the Prince of Wales was sailing, running over a Boat in which Mr Balcombe was embarked at Brighton; & this circumstance it is, I understand, gave rise to Sir T Tyrwhitt’s particular notice of him. Sir Thomas wrote to him at the time of the Newcastle arriving here, to send away his Wife and Daughters, but Sir Pulteney Malcolm advised him not to do it, saying he had seen Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt himself, and the letter was written by him under some wrong impression. Mr Balcombe never communicated to me the letter Sir Thomas wrote to him. The attention shewn by both Lady as well as Sir Pulteney Malcolm towards Mr Balcombe & his Family was without all bounds; tending to elevate them to a rank in Society far beyond what they could naturally have a right to look to. The daughters I believe correspond occasionally with Lady Malcolm, but of this I cannot speak with positive certainty. Mr Cole who was only the Purser of an Indiaman was equally well received at the Admiral’s, and frequently at his Table. He recently married the daughter of the Company’s farmer on this Island (the person I removed from within the grounds at Longwood). Mr O’Meara had been before particularly attentive to the Young Lady, and is now on the most Intimate terms with Mr Cole. The latter is the agent of Mr Harrington (formerly Captain of an Indiaman) now established in business at the Cape of Good Hope, to whom Mr Cole was Purser. Mr Harrington is married to a relative of Lady Malcolm, an Elphinstone I believe. A Monopoly was attempted to be established in his Person for carrying on a Commerce with this Island through the favour of Sir P Malcolm; but being decidedly opposed by me it fell to the ground. An attempt has been recently made to renew it through the means of a proposal for supplying the Squadron here with Cattle on a contract with the victualling board; and a Mr Heathorn who came out here with the proposal making known to me it was Mr Harrington with whom he was to be connected at the Cape, & that the real object was to be enabled to carry on a Trade with the Island, by means of two vessels which were to pass backwards and forwards between this and the Cape of Good Hope, and be entirely at his disposition, met with no encouragement. He met with as little from Admiral Plampin who detected in particular a very great anxiety in Mr Heathorn to see Napoleon Bonaparte, and did not like it. M Harrington, disappointed in his expectations of the Monopoly, which Sir P Malcolm had almost established for him during the excursion he took to the Cape of Good Hope, without any reference whatsoever to me, has been trying all means to incite the Inhabitants of this Island to petition for relief from their grievances in respect of commerce; but he has not succeeded, nor is he likely to do so, as the Merchants & Traders here, who are very few in number, find they can obtain as much freightage and tonnage as they want, on application to me. They are now perhaps in more want of some articles than they have been for a long time past in consequence of no Storeship having yet arrived this season from England, and by the Hyaena Storeship which was to have brought several Articles of which we stood in need from the Cape, having come here laden in a great measure with private ventures from Mr Harrington to the House of Balcombe & Cole, in the place of the Government Stores required (a thing admitted only during the period of the last naval command) whilst means were taken at the same time, to prevent Vessels that had actually received Articles for other Merchants from coming. All this is well known here, and Admiral Plampin has taken the proper steps to prevent the recurrence of a similar system. Lord Charles Somerset wrote to me very strongly in favour of Mr Harrington, but I have addressed his Lordship in such a manner as I should hope would set matters in a clear point of view to him. I believe on the whole to have my eye on those persons within this Island who are the most likely to be aiding the designs of Napoleon Bonaparte, whether in forwarding letters, or giving money; as well as upon those with whom they are most in relation externally – but things will happen which it is, under the present circumstances of this Island, almost impossible to guard against; for so long as Napoleon Bonaparte and the Persons of his Suite enjoy their present limits, and are admitted to converse without any English officer being present, it must be necessarily difficult to prevent the Treacheries which through such means may be attempted. The private Intercourse of any one Individual who has not my confidence is sufficient to baffle and Countermine all prevention whatever. The Proclamation issued on this Island (copy of the whole of which may be found in Barnes’s “Account of St Helena” and the Port Regulations, of which Copy will be enclosed, shew what has been done to check & prevent any kind of Clandestine Intercourse but where a person is even detected (unless attempt at Evasion be the Object) the Act of Parliament presents no precise rule for my guidance, and even in respect to the man who took the letters from Count Las Cases, who began to behave very ill even though his Father went Security for him, I had no other recourse than that of having him engaged as a Servant to a Naval Officer proceeding to Ascension, not knowing in what way I could extend the Law to him. It was only a short time before Napoleon Bonaparte was sent to this Island the Post Master General in England established one of his Deputies here; before this time all Letters passed through the office of the Secretary to Government, and I do not learn that any Inconvenience was felt from it; the knowledge of their passing through such a Channel might operate in a certain degree as a Check; but in other respects no more precaution could be used than what is now taken; the letters so far as relates to their mere size & address being seen but no other kind of Interference whatever practised. The irregular manner in which our letters arrive here is felt as a particular inconvenience. The Post Master has now an account of no less than Seventeen private Ships by which letters were forwarded from the General Post office in England to the Cape of Good Hope for this Island during the last year of which not one has yet reached us. The latest accounts we have from England are now of five months date, none having been received since those of the month of September. I have not yet acquainted General Gourgaud whether he is to proceed to England or the Cape of Good Hope, but it is my present Intention, on the grounds adverted to in the first letter regarding him, to send him by the occasion of one of the East India Ships from China, expected to arrive here and sail from hence to England in about a fortnight. If he had any sinister designs in view (which I do not however suspect) the Cape of Good Hope might perhaps offer him a better field than almost any other part; and it is by no means improbable he would already find much done to his hand there through the Intrigues of Count Las Cases if he was disposed to follow the same Course I have the honor to be &c &c &c H Lowe The Earl Bathurst K G &c &c &c ---- Letter dated 16 March 1818 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Earl Bathurst No 118 St Helena 16th March 1818 My Lord I do myself the honor to inform Your Lordship that Mr Balcombe, Purveyor to the Establishment at Longwood, having applied to me for Leave of Absence to proceed to England, I have acquiesced in the same; and purpose making a different arrangement for the Supply of that Establishment on his departure. It is about three months since the first intimation was conveyed to me of Mr Balcombe’s intention. It was mentioned by Mr O’Meara to another person who repeated it to me. I heard of it a second time through the same Channel. A few days afterwards Mr Balcombe called on Major Gorrequer & asked him if he thought in the event of his applying to me for leave of absence that I would allow him to retain the situation of Purveyor. It was a subject on which Major Gorrequer could give him no information and I heard nothing more of any Intention to apply until the 3rd Instant when, after some days serious Indisposition of Mrs Balcombe, a letter was addressed to the Governor and Council making the application; but without any reference to any means of supplying the duties during his absence. As the Members of Council do not meddle in any respect with the affairs of the Longwood Establishment & as it forms part of my instructions even from the Court of Directors that they take no part in my duties on this head, the application which was enclosed to the Secretary of Government to be laid before the Governor & Council was, so far as related to Mr Balcombe’s duties as Purveyor, irregular - if not indecorous towards me; but as he held another situation under the East India Company’s Government, that of Superintendant of Public Sales (scarcely however entitling him to be called one of their Civil Officers), his letter was taken up in the latter light, and an Answer sent to him by Mr Brooke the Government Secretary accordingly. Soon after the answer was transmitted, I received a letter myself from him, soliciting leave as Purveyor. It maintained the same silence as the preceding one, respecting the mode of supplying the duties of the Purveyorship in his absence. An Answer was sent however by my direction, to ascertain what Mr Balcombe’s views were on this point. The Answer I sent brought forth another letter from him, and a short correspondence ensued Copies of the whole of which are enclosed. Your Lordship will observe the apparent reserve with which Mr Cole’s name is brought forward by Mr Balcombe, and will remark also on my part a reference to Mr Balcombe’s line of proceeding in a particular Instance, not immediately connected with his duties as Purveyor, where his line of proceeding had excited dissatisfaction in me. To check abuse in his particular department as Purveyor, it had been the custom for me to sign the requisitions for any Articles he wanted to receive for the use of the Establishment at Longwood from the Cape of Good Hope on board the Government Vessels which brought supplies from thence; & thus prevent the importation under the name of the Purveyor of Articles on his account as a private Merchant, which could never take place without prejudice to the Island receiving the necessary supplies on public account by the same Vessels. The same Role existed with respect to Articles wanted by the Foreign Commissioners, the Staff & Regimental Messes. Mr Balcombe had obtained my signature to the required quantity on the occasion of the Hyaena’s last proceeding to the Cape. She had a large cargo of naval Stores to bring over, and it was impossible she could bring all the Supplies which were wanted for the Island use also. I had therefore authorized the East India Company’s Agent at the Cape to freight a small Vessel; and in order to facilitate the views of private Individuals gave public Notice to all the Mercantile Persons here that they might have a portion of freight on their private account on board the same Vessel. All the Freight required was only for Ninety one Tons, of which Messrs Balcombe & Co (who were among the first to whom the offer was made) were put down only for two Tons. The Hyaena returned from the Cape without bringing all the Supplies we expected for the Island use. We found ourselves in Actual distress both for Flour & Grain when I was waited upon by Mr Balcombe to offer me a share of a large quantity of Barley he had received by that vessel. I rejected his offer with Indignation, knowing the Shipment must have been obtained in direct contravention of the Rules upon which I wished to proceed, and could only have been the result of a private arrangement between Mr Balcombe and the commander of the ship, to the prejudice of the public Interest. I was displeased also at his Conduct in asking for my signature to a few Articles on his public Account as Purveyor and obtaining a Cargo of other things at the same time for his private use. The means he took did not enter into my Consideration, being well aware if he had obtained the Admiral’s Consent for embarking a few Articles on his private account it could never have been meant to interfere with the public wants of the Island, and in fact I afterwards learnt a permission he had obtained to receive some Articles was only granted on the Express Condition if there were any room after the Public Stores had been embarked. The Commander of the Ship fell under Admiral Plampin’s severest displeasure, and I thought no more on the Subject in respect to Mr Balcombe until I received his letter of the 9th Inst. It appeared to me to present a new pretext for not personally waiting on me because he had called upon me at the Town subsequently to my speaking to him after the arrival of the Hyaena. This Statement has appeared to be necessary for a right understanding of what passed in the Correspondence on this Subject, and I have thought it more advisable to speak of it now as it is possible I may be under the necessity of making a further reference to the same matter hereafter as connected with a representation from the Collector of Customs at the Cape to the Governor of that Colony, of which a Copy has been forwarded to me. Your Lordship will observe that the Correspondence concluded with my refusing to permit the Purveyorship to rest in the hands of Mr Cole, or any partner of the House. The firm of a Mercantile House appeared to me quite unnecessary for carrying on the duties of Purveyor, nor am I aware that any possible advantage can result from the connection to which such a branch might lead with other Mercantile Houses in any other Quarter. In fact the most essential Articles Mr Balcombe has long since ceased to supply, viz Beef, Mutton, Wines & Groceries, not having been able to procure the two former of sufficient good quality, or except at an immoderate expense, and the two latter being received from England; neither are Fuel, Forage, and Means of Transport provided through him. Poultry, Fish, Fruit & Vegetables were therefore almost the only Articles that demanded their particular attention as Purveyor – it being the transaction of the Pecuniary affairs of the Establishment – cashing any Bills that might be drawn and keeping an account of the Disbursements for the same, that had begun to form their principal business. I might have been disposed perhaps to have allowed Mr Cole to continue in charge of the Books which were open with Mr Balcombe on this latter account, had not certain reasons appeared to me to render it inexpedient. These were briefly as follows: 1stly The Circumstance of Mr Cole having been in the habit of giving Newspapers to Mr O’Meara, who it was well known received them for Longwood. When spoken to on the subject he justified himself upon the ground of his having done so during the time of Sir George Cockburn, after shewing the papers to him, and that he had carried over some of those he last gave to Mr O’Meara to Sir P Malcolm, before delivering them to the former. The difference between the relative position of Sir George Cockburn and Sir Pulteney Malcolm, and mine, as the only successor to the Authority of the former in what regards Longwood, Mr Cole had not thought fit to contemplate. 2ndly He continued after this to shew the Newspapers he received (the Observer) to me until the arrival of a large Mail by the Ocean Storeship. This Vessel brought several copies of the Observer of the 17th March; none of them were brought to me until, becoming informed by Mr Brooke of the Contents of the Paper of that date, I asked Mr Cole whether he had received it or not. I found it had been lying on His Counting House Table, open to the Inspection of every one, Mr Cole himself professing not to have perused it. This Number of the Observer it is to be remarked contained the whole of Santini’s Pamphlet, Count Montholon’s Letter, and the Editor’s libellous comment on the Conduct of the Governor under whose authority Mr Cole was acting in the double Capacity of Postmaster & the principal Man of Business in the Purveyorship. 3rdly Mr Cole as Postmaster opened a receiving box for Letters in his Counting House where none before had existed, it having been the Custom for Persons to deliver their Letters to him or his Clerk and the Correspondence of the Island being so limited as not to render it necessary to make any other arrangement. Having spoken to him on the Subject he said either he or his Clerk was always in the office and saw the Letters that were put into the Box. I desired him however to shut up the Box and efface the words “Receiving Box” written in large Letters above it. I was surprized the next day to receive a Letter with a most singular address to myself from the Foreigner who had brought the Bust of Napoleon Bonaparte’s Son to this Island. It had come from the Post Office without Mr Cole knowing who had delivered it, and upon enquiry I found it had been dropt into the Box (which had been neglected to be closed on the day I had directed it to be done) at a time when the door of the office was open & neither Mr Cole or his Clerk present. It is to be remarked the office in which this Box was open is that in which the business of the Purveyor is usually conducted & that the first room entered generally by all persons of the Longwood Establishment coming to the Town (foreign as well as others) was Mr Cole’s office. 4thly Mr Cole being employed as an Agent by a Mr Harrington of the Cape of Good Hope in a certain matter which, though little if at all connected with the duties of the Purveyorship, evinced a spirit of counteraction to the System upon which I was regulating my Conduct in the Civil Government of this Island. Almost immediately after Admiral Plampin’s arrival, a Letter was written by Mr Harrington to a Merchant of this Island saying nothing could be done for him so long as the present System continued in respect to forwarding supplies; that he had written a letter to the Admiral’s Secretary and sent a Copy of it to Mr Cole who would show it to him; and advising him to follow that letter up with a strong representation to the Admiral on behalf of as many Inhabitants as he could persuade to join & that some change must take place; concluding with saying that such was his advice and it was worth the consideration of the all. The Copy of the Letter to the Admiral’s Secretary was first denied to have been received by Mr Cole, but I afterwards learnt it had been received and shewn to some of the Merchants by none of whom however the advice was followed. In fact Mr Harrington himself had been the Principal sufferer by the System he spoke of as I had opposed an arrangement made by Rear Admiral Sir P Malcolm for giving him Thirty Tons of Spare Tonnage on board each Government Vessel coming from the Cape, upon the ground of shipping Articles for the use of General Bonaparte’s Establishment and the Regimental Messes; but which led to the greatest abuses as the Articles shipped were generally on the account of private Merchants who actually retailed some of them afterwards at an increase of 200 pr Cent beyond the price they cost at the Cape. Mr Balcombe attempted to excuse rather than to justify the share which Mr Cole had taken in forwarding Mr Harrington’s views, but this did not prevent the receipt of the Articles referred to in the first part of this letter by the Hyaena Storeship and the greater part of which had been shipped by Mr Harrington. Another Instance in which Mr Cole’s conduct excited some observation will be found in the annexed Memorandum of a short Conversation had with him a few days before Mr Balcombe made his application. It will be observed an extension was thought of to be given to the relations of the Purveyorship by making the Correspondent in London of the House of Messrs Balcombe & Co a Channel to procure domestics for the Establishment. I mean not to reflect however in any respect on Messrs Bernie & Co (the Correspondent of Mr Balcombe’s House) having reason to know they wrote to Mr Balcombe to acquaint him of my Conduct in the Government here having met approbation, for which Communication from Persons wholly unknown to me I wish rather to express my acknowledgement. Taking all the above Circumstances collectively together, independent of any suspicion which General Gourgaud’s communication might lead to, I hope Your Lordship will not disapprove the decision communicated to Mr Balcombe by my letter of the 9th Inst. In fact both he & Mr Cole have expressed great Indifference about the situation and having formed, as I apprehend, extravagant Ideas about the advantages to be derived from it in the first Instance, will feel their disappointment the less severely. I shall be solicitous for Your Lordship’s instructions or opinion as to what course it may be most advisable for me to pursue if Mr Balcombe returns here to resume the office of Purveyor. In the meantime I shall place the duties of it under the immediate Superintendance of Mr Asst Commy Genl Ibbetson who as a King’s Officer is a responsible person to look to and who, with his Clerks, have for some time past already had the details in respect to the Supply of Meat, Wines, and Forage. In respect to the private Accounts of the Establishment, I shall endeavour to prevent them falling into the hand of any one Mercantile House in particular, & shall also bring them as much as possible under the Immediate Inspection of the Assistant Commissary General. With regard to any Bills that may be required to be drawn, I shall offer to have Cash issued for them when the money may appear to me to be really wanting from the Island Treasury. These points may probably create some discussion with Longwood but with the knowledge I have derived of what has passed there from my conversation with Genl Gourgaud I shall feel the less delicacy in resisting any pretensions which may be opposed to my arrangement. I have the honor &c &c H Lowe The Earl Bathurst K G &c &c &c &c ---- Letter dated 9 May 1818 from Sir Thomas Reade to Sir Hudson Lowe May 9 1818 My Dear Sir We could not get any Wine from the Navy except what they owed to us, and in consequence of the small quantity in Store and only one hundred Pipes coming by the David, Brooke and myself thought it wise to get 50 Pipes from the Master of the Malborough which Mr Greentree is now receiving. The Malborough will sail tomorrow Evening. Mr Heathorn called upon me just now to beg I would ask your Permission for himself and Servant to remain here until he can get a Passage to the Cape. The Brig in which he came here is going to Rio de Janeiro, as he says, to seek for a Cargo. I fear Mr Heathorn is humbugging and that he intends, if he can, making these kind of trips constantly. He is connected with Mr Harrington. The things he [brought] this time he got from him. [Young O’Connor] is worse, and I fear there are little hopes of him. They sent to me this moment to beg a little fresh Beef; a Pound or two to make soup. There is not a Bit to be got in Town. If you should have any at Plantation House would you have the goodness to send a little down. Yours faithfully Reade There are three Boxes of Seeds & Bulb Roots landed from the Hyaena without any directions upon them. Did you expect any such from the Cape? ---- Letter dated 9 May 1818 from Mr Harrington to Mr Brooke Seaforth, Simon’s Town May 9th 1818 Dear Brooke Mr Luson having yesterday communicated to me the substance of a Letter lately received by him from St Helena, in which my Name appears with Reflections attached to it as unexpected as I trust they are undeserved, I presume upon my long Acquaintance with yourself and Family and the Regard that has always seemed mutual between us to address a few Lines to you on the Subject, with a request that you will either lay them before His Excellency Sir Hudson Lowe in their present Shape, or submit them to him in any other that you may think proper. I was given to understand some Time since from what appeared to me to be good Authority, that His Excellency had spoken of me as a Man personally objectionable to him, a Man who had indulged himself in unwarranted Reflections against his Government, &c, and I no sooner heard this than I thought it incumbent upon me to see Mr Luson and afterwards to address him by Letter on the Subject. Such Letter, conveying as it did Sentiments of the greatest respect for His Excellency, would, I vainly hoped have done away every unfavourable Impression, but what Mr Luson has now stated convinces me it remains, and therefore I am compelled, in Justice to myself, once more to endeavour to remove it if possible. The simple, and candid, Truth is that before the present Plan of licensing Vessels to bring down Supplies on Freight for Individuals was adopted, many who applied to me as a Merchant and Agent at the Cape to procure and send them forward were of course very frequently disappointed. They persisted however in their Commissions and, anxious to meet their Wishes, I came under personal Obligations to Captains of H M Ships and others to execute them. This at last grew most unpleasant and rather than that it should continue, I recommended some of them, Solomon amongst the Number, to petition your Government for some Relief. In this I declare most solemnly I had not the smallest Intention of giving Offence to His Excellency Sir Hudson Lowe, or conceive I did anything more than a well-meaning fair-dealing British Merchant might do anywhere. As to personal Interest in the matter You will be able to estimate my Share of it, when I declare to you, on my sacred Word of Honor, that neither directly nor indirectly have I ever had, since I came to the Cape of Good Hope, the smallest Share in any one of the Articles of Colonial Produce sent down [ ] myself and Firm to your Island. I have acted as an Agent for others solely and entirely, having no more to do, after shipping them from here, with the Supplies for Messrs Balcombe Cole & Co, Mr Solomon, Mr McRitchie, [Mr Green] or others who have sent me Commissions than with what I send down to His Excellency, Adml Plampin and Sir Geo Bingham. Time was when, as you know, I contemplated the forming of a Partnership on your Island with Messrs Balcombe and Macintosh. I was tired of the Sea. Coll Beatson strongly recommended it and I, for many Reasons (principally domestic ones), liked your Island. I arrived with my family in the Scaleby Castle after having spent a Fortune in Preparations for settling there, and you know what occurred. Mr Balcombe had left the Island, Mr Macintosh was on the Eve of Departure, the Govt had changed Hands, and, ’tho Coll Wilks was my Friend, yet Circumstances were such as to compel me to go away again and seek another Fortune elsewhere. From that [ ] to the present one, I have never had the smallest Partnership in Business with Mr Balcombe, the Firm of which he is a Member, or Mr Macintosh. I have acted as their Agent here for a 5 P C Commission and no more, for them, as well as others, always been in Advance, and, whatever Plans may have been adopted by them for [ ] Supplies, have no more to do with them than your good self. This I solemnly declare, and I hope therefore His Excellency Sir Hudson Lowe will cease to view me in any other Light and Character than one I think I may fairly claim, that of an English Gentleman, of most respectable Family and Connections, who served the Honble Compy with Credit for 23 Years, commandg one of their regular Ships during 10 Years of that Time, was disappointed, severely so, at the End of that Period, and hardly used, without the smallest Fault of his own at your Island and is now in consequence fixed, most probably for Life, at a Place where he never had the most distant Intention of residing, the Cape of Good Hope. I know Lord Charles Somerset thinks of me, and describes me as above, and I still hope Sir Hudson Lowe will, after you receive this Letter, do me equal Justice. Stranger as I am to him, my very Existence can truly be of little Moment, but he will not think the worse of me I am convinced, for this Attempt to clear myself when implicated in Transactions of which I know Nothing. I applied the other Day for Leave to send a small Vessel, the Mary, down to St Helena with Goods on board from England for Individuals there. She was consigned to me for that Purpose, and to go to Ascension for Turtle afterwards, truly I do not even know the Owner, nor had the smallest Interest [ ] that of Agent in the Thing whatever. Mr Luson unfortunately forgot my application about her when a Vessel was wanted and She is still here in consequence. Mr Heathorn, who til the other Day was a perfect stranger to me, applied to know if I would act as his Agent, here provided he entered into a Contract with your Government for Bullocks. I answered in the affirmative but had no other Connection with the Gentleman and have now none whatever. In fact, tho I think if any man could, I might fairly claim particular Indulgence with regard to St Helena, considering my present Situation and what forced me into it. I have never yet attempted to gain any thing for myself upon the Island whatever. I probably shall do so hereafter, but let that happen when it may, I shall come openly & honestly forward, address myself at once to the Honble Company’s Agents here and to your Government, and, notwithstanding all that has passed, shall hope to have my Claims fairly considered and my Application favourably received. The Private & Public Character of Sir H Lowe alike stand too high to need any Remarks from my Pen. I may be permitted however to repeat my Expressions of Respect for it. With every Confidence in your friendly Disposition towards me, and best Wishes to you and yours in which I am cordially joined by all at Seaforth, believe me Dear Brooke Yours faithfully T T Harrington To: Thomas Brooke Esq &c &c &c ---- Undated letter from Mr Brooke to Sir Hudson Lowe Tuesday My dear Sir I have the honor to enclose a letter I received yesterday from the C Mr Harrington. I have already explained to you the circumstances to which he alludes as having been badly treated at this Island, circumstances certainly very unfortunate for him but unavoidable on the part of Colonel Wilks’s Government. I must admit however that there is nothing in his letter which explains away the attempt to induce the St Helenians to apply for the Admiral’s interference, and altho’ it is hardly to be expected he would confess having committed so delicate an impropriety unless positively accused of it, yet his letter indicates sincere regret for it. Your Excellency however will be enabled to appreciate the merits of that letter without any comments of mine. I have the honor to remain My dear Sir Your faithful and obedt Servt Thos H Brooke His Excellency Lt Genl Sir H Lowe Govr &c &c &c ---- Letter dated 16 June 1818 from Mr Brooke to Mr Harrington [Text includes amendments, appears incomplete, and is unsigned, so may be an advanced draft.] St Helena 16 June 1818 Dear Harrington I communicated the content of your letter in a manner which I thought most likely to produce the impression you would wish. With regard to any reflection from you upon Sir Hudson Lowe or his Govnt I can assure you he never heard or spoke of such, nor did he know of your ever having recommended any petition to be presented either to him or to this Govmt for relief. A petition so addressed, had it been presented, altho’ he is not aware such a measure was any was necessary to lead his consideration towards the wants of the Island, would still have been [rec’d] with every attention nor could it have drawn forth any dissatisfaction on its advice unless it might appear to be urged by expectations conceived externally rather than by the actual wants felt here. The Govr never doubted the [ ] in your name in the plan was merely in the capacity of an agent for others nor is he disposed to ascribe any blame to you for endeavouring to obtain this shipment when you could, but he can not any disappointment you may have experienced on this head when your private commissions might be found to interfere with public wants on board vessels freighted by Govmt as meriting in any degree whatever his consideration or as furnishing any claims for such from your constituents here whose demands for freight on board private ships for all they want or require has never been slighted or rejected. It is not for me to discuss the motives which prevented the Mary touching at St Helena, but I apprehend reasons totally unconnected with any thing attached to your name which may have prevented a licence being given to her. It is strange thing viewing the precise terms of the act of parliament that a vessel should have sailed from England bound as it may be said to this Island without licence or authority of any kind, building on presumption alone she was to be received or to imply suspicion if she was not; at the same rate an open intercourse might be at one attempt & the act set aside. You may be persuaded the Governor acts upon general not upon particular views on these occasions [no signature] ---- Letter dated 15 August 1918 from Mr Harrington to Mr Brooke Seaforth August 15 1818 My Dear Brooke I am favoured with your kind Letter of the 16 June and I am much obliged by you bringing the Substance of my last to the Notice of Sir Hudson Lowe. Since it would appear from yours now before me that no Censure was implied with regard to any Part of my Conduct as Merchant & Agent here in the Communication made by your Government to Mr Luson, tho’ I certainly understood it otherwise and wrote you accordingly. Mr Heathorn on returning here from his first Visit to St Helena positively told me that Sir Hudson Lowe, in Conversation with himself, spoke of me as an “Agent personally objectionable and a Man who had indulged himself in Reflections against the Government of the Island”. I probably ought not to have listened one Moment to a Person of whom I know so little as Mr Heathorn but such was the Fact, and when to this was added the Substance of the Letter received by Mr Luson neither His Excellency nor yourself can be surprised that I should have felt so strongly on the Subject. I dismiss it you will readily believe with the greatest Pleasure. Mrs Harrington and my Daughters join me in Congratulations on your Son’s Appointment and [ ] Compliments to Mrs and Miss Brooke.

The language adopted by the Writer of the enclosed letter is evidently that of Concealment and certain expressions in it have led me to entertain the Suspicion that it has some Connection with the plans which there is every reason to believe are in agitation for the escape of General Buonaparte. It is therefore most important that your Lordship should keep a watchful eye on the Correspondence and proceedings of Mr Franklin and ascertain if possible whether he is in actual Communication with St Helena and if so with the nature of his Communication It will be equally important also that your Lordship should discover whether he is in Correspondence with any persons in Brazil, that being the Quarter in which those of Buonaparte’s Adherents who are most likely to embark in an enterprize to favour his evasion, have established themselves. Your Lordship will not fail in this as I had already instructed You on a former occasion to communicate to Sir Hudson Lowe any information which you may consider important, and in the event of Mr Franklin attempting either by himself or by his Agents to communicate with General Buonaparte at St Helena, You will use your best endeavours to give Sir Hudson Lowe such timely Notice as may enable him, if the course appear to him to be expedient, to apprehend the person entrusted with the Communication, either previously or subsequently to its delivery to Genl Buonaparte. I have also to desire that in the event of Mr Franklin not having as yet acquired the Rights and Privileges of a Burgher of the Cape, Your Lordship will take care that he is excluded from that Class of persons and I have further to authorize you in the event of its appearing to you that Mr Franklin’s Residence at the Cape is for the purpose of keeping up a Communication with General Buonaparte in any other manner than that allowed by the regulations in force in St Helena, and that he has the Means of doing so without your privity to enforce his departure from the Colony. I have &c Bathurst General The Lord Charles Somerset ^^^^^^^^ Oct 26 1818 Cape of Good Hope Sir Every thing which you wished has been done thoroughly, but nothing has been finally settled upon, and a final decision is waited for and very probably you will soon see your Friend. You may rely most implicitly upon every exertion being made for you, three times your friend saw the person, and the idea was much approved as it will undoubtedly redound to your advantage and interest. I have the honor to be &c &c &c T E Franklin It is very sure that immediately one thing or other will speedily be done. B O’Meara Esqre Under Cover to W Holmes Esqre Lyon’s Inn ---- Letter dated 30 December 1818 from Mr Goulburn to Sir Hudson Lowe Downing Street Decr 30th 1818 My dear Sir I enclose to you by Lord Bathurst’s direction the copy of a Despatch which he has thought it necessary to address to Lord Charles Somerset in consequence of a letter which has been addressed to Mr O’Meara by some person resident at the Cape. The letter to Lord Charles will sufficiently explain the subject and I therefore only trouble you in order that you may be fully aware of every measure which may be taken here with reference to your charge. Believe me My dear Sir Ever yours most truly Henry Goulburn Lt General Sir H Lowe KCB ---- The Morning Chronicle. LONDON: MONDAY, JANUARY 11 1819 Lieutenant COGHLAN, of the navy, arrived in town on Thursday morning, with dispatches from Sir HUDSON LOWE, which were brought by the Bombay Castle, which vessel was obliged by contrary winds to put into Crookhaven, after a tedious passage of nine weeks. Ministers however did not this time deprive the Attorney and Solicitor General of their rest, nor has the public been alarmed by any new plot. We have been favoured with the following account of some recent transactions there, which is extracted from a letter:- A most disgraceful scene was presented to the inhabitants of St. Helena a few days past. Messrs. HARRINGTON, at the Cape, shipped on board of a brig, which arrived here, a carriage for General BERTRAND, which had been ordered several months before to be made in India, with the knowledge and consent of the Governor. The moment it was known to be on board, the greatest bustle and confusion prevailed amongst the Staff here. The unfortunate vehicle was landed, the lining ripped up, the body, panels, and every atom of it broken into pieces, and the fragments scattered about the wharf, upon the ridiculous pretext that letters for BONAPARTE might be concealed in some part of it. In consequence of the prohibition of intercourse between BONAPARTE’s followers and the inhabitants, the tradesmen to whom the French are indebted, find it impossible to obtain the payment of their bills. Upwards of a thousand pounds have been due by them for a considerable time to a house here, not a farthing of which can be obtained. People are afraid of mentioning their names in public, or even of being seen at the same side of the street with them, lest they should become objects of suspicion to the Adjutant General. A new house is building for BONAPARTE, in a hollow, about 200 yards from where he now lives. It is supposed that it will take about four years to finish it, and that it will cost, when finished, many thousand pounds; no preparation having been made for putting the timber into frame before it was shipped from England – and as the whole must be carried up the mountain, chiefly by the labor of men, the disadvantage of a new and damp building will be united to all the unsuitableness of the present residence. BONAPARTE is never seen abroad, and neither the Governor nor any other Englishman knows any thing more about him than that the orderly Captain occasionally gets a glimpse of him through the window blinds. ---- Letter dated 15 February 1819 from Mr Harrington to Mr Brook Seaforth Simons Town Feby 15th 1819 My Dear Brooke You may remember that when addressing you last Year I said the Time might come for my soliciting some Indulgence from your Government, and that whenever I did so I should come openly and honestly forward and state my Wishes at once. Accordingly I now beg to inform you that having written to England some Time since for a Brig or Schooner of about 130 Tons to be employed in the Coasting Trade of this Colony She is by this Moment on her way here, and I expect her Arrival every Day. Her first Coasting Voyage She will probably complete by the 1st of May, and She will then be ready for a Trip to St Helena if Sir Hudson Lowe can be prevailed upon to show this much favour to an old India Officer, certainly having strong Claims upon the Island, and who is willing to let on Freight at least One Hundred Tons of the Vessel on the lowest Terms possible for the Conveyance of [ ] King’s and Company’s Stores as may be wanted at the Time, and either from Table Bay or Simons Bay. From certain Directions given on the Subject I suspect that the Vessel will be particularly dry, and therefore well qualified to bring down a good cargo of Flour, Barley &c, however She will take of course any Thing that may be ordered for her, and of the remaining 30 Tons, if we give up 15 to Individuals licensed for the Purpose [ ] the Compy’s Freight I presume there will be no objection to my filling up the other 15 Tons ourselves with any Things we may wish to send down under a Permit from Mr Luson to my own Constituents and Friends on the Island. I could wish also that Mr Luson were authorized to give my little Vessel a Preference afterwards to others, at a similar Rate of Freight when we solicited such Employment for her. That, however, is a future Consideration. My Request now is for a first Voyage on the Terms and at about the Time herein mentioned, and I beg you will have the Kindness to submit it for me to His Excellency in the manner which you conceive will be the most agreeable to him. [ ] Advantages which my Firm are likely to [ ] from his granting it have been compressed into a very small Shape, but if it still be larger than he approves Mr Luson may be instructed what part of the Vessel’s Tonnage we are to appropriate to my own use and we shall be content accordingly. Pray favour me with an early Reply and with my kind Regards to you and yours, believe me Dear Brooke Yrs very faithfully T T Harrington Thomas Brooke Esq &c &c &c PS I have requested the Admiral’s good Offices with Sir H Lowe on the same Subject by this Opportunity. T T H ---- Extract of a letter dated 20 February 1819 from Mr Harrington to Mr Cole The Mary a Vessel consigned by Capn Findlay to me from England is here and I am anxious to send her down to your Island according to her Owner’s Instructions as she has some Goods on board for Individuals there (one or two Packages I believe for the Governor himself) and Capn Findlay wishes her to proceed to Ascension to procure Turtle for the London Market. The Company’s Agent here however has no power even to Licence her visiting your Island, much less Ascension, and You who I understand are his Agents at St Helena must endeavour to procure the Licence and send it up here as soon as possible when Mr Luson will fill the Vessel up and dispatch her. She is not more than 60 or 70 Tons I therefore trust you will be able to do the needful for Captn Findlay, the Owner of the Vessel!! Memo Captn McPherson is the Commander Extract of a Letter from Messrs Wm & Jas Burnie dated London 25th October 1818 This goes by way of the Cape by the Mary Captn McPherson who expects to obtain Permission to touch at St Helena having goods on board for Sir Hudson Lowe and also for Several others. We have given the Captn a letter of introduction to you &c. ---- Extract of a letter from Mr Balcombe dated Plymouth dated 13th March 1819 I was astonished at what you say, that General Montholon should say I owed the French money. I assure you I do not think he ever did say so and that such a report was fabrication. All I know of their affairs is that O’Meara wanted me to become an agent of theirs, which I refused, and offered me a draft for Three thousand pounds in order to answer their drafts in consequence, he said, of Street & Parker having refused to honor their Bills from St Helena. He then told me Mr Holmes would undertake their business and the draft was given to him. Thus ends the knowledge I have of any concerns of any person on the Island except my own. ---- Extract from a letter dated 27 March 1819 from Mr Cole to Mr Harrington In regard to the Phaeton I wrote you that we did not receive the original account by the Clyde, of expenses incurred, therefore it could not accompany the Carriage, but we lost no time after it came to hand, in forwarding the same to General Bertrand and there the matter rests for the present in the same predicament as our accounts. If you consider it necessary to address General Bertrand yourself on the Subject your communication must be forwarded through Sir Hudson Lowe. ---- Letter dated 6 April 1819 from Mr Brooke to Mr Harrington 6th April 1819 My dear Harrington After speaking to the Governor on the subject of your Letter of the 15th February he informs that his repeated refusals to accede to proposals of such a nature as yours is founded on a fixed determination not to admit the employment of any Merchant vessel on a regular basis between St Helena and the Cape. If anything could induce him to depart from the determination it would be only in favour of a vessel the sole owner or owners of which were fixed residents of St Helena. The licenses he has occasionally granted for a single trip and the applications he has refused have all been founded on circumstances totally unconnected with personal favour on the one hand or want of disposition to oblige on the other. Thus far and no further has he authorized me to explain his views. Mr Luson has specific instructions in regard to the description of vessels of which he may occasionally avail himself. To press the subject any further upon Sir Hudson would be of no use to you and would be wrong in me. All Regulations regarding intercourse with the Island are exclusively in the province of the Officer who has charge of Napoleon’s person. The Council have nothing to do with those matters since Napoleon’s arrival. But if I can be of any service to you in other Respects, I shall be always happy to attend to your wishes as far as may be in my power. (Signed) Brooke ---- Letter dated 20 April 1819 from Mr Ibbetson to Major Gorrequer Huts Gate 20th April 1819 My dear Sir I beg to acquaint you for the information of the Governor, that Count Bertrand called upon me this morning to ask me whether I had paid a Captain of one of the storeships last year a bill amounting to about Eighty pounds, for General Buonaparte. I told him I had not, having received no authority from him (Count Bertrand) to do so. I shewed him the accounts, both for the Establishment, and his own private account, to which he agreed perfectly as to their correctness, with the exception of a Payment made by me on the 26th October last, by order of Sir Thomas Reade, of the sum of seven guineas for the freight of a Carriage from the Cape of Good Hope, which he would not admit, but referred me to Messrs Balcombe, Cole & Co, observing that there was an account still open between them. I have the honor to be Sir Your obedient servant Denzil Ibbetson ACG Major Gorrequer &c &c &c ---- ? Rough draft of a letter dated 22 April 1819 from Major Gorrequer to Mr Ibbetson 22d April 1819 Sir Having mentioned the objection which you represent as having been made by Count Bertrand on his account to the charges for the Freight of his Carriage back from the Cape of Good Hope I am desired to inform you that the Governor will take upon himself the responsibility of causing it to be entered as a charge against the British Govert although it is of a nature so purely personal to Count Bertrand & of so insignificant an amount. ---- Letter dated 30 April 1819 from Lord Somerset to Sir Hudson Lowe Cape of Good Hope 30th April 1819 Sir By the Sophia I have had the Honor of a Communication from Lord Bathurst in which his Lordship has transmitted a Copy of a Letter from a Person signing himself T E Franklin addressed to Mr O’Meara from this place dated 26th Octr last. I have the honor to enclose a copy of Mr Franklin’s letter, not because any thing important is discoverable in its contents but that your Excellency may be early aware of the Nature of this intercepted letter, should you not antecedently have received a copy from the Secy of State. It was natural to suppose from the language of concealment which runs thro the letter that the writer had not us’d his real signature in it, and I am inclined to think that of Franklin an assumed one, as there is no Resident here of that name, nor, after the most accurate research, can I find that any such person has been here even for a short period as a Passenger of a vessel which may have put into this Port. Your Excellency is aware of the strict Regulations I have adopted with respect to such Intercourse with St Helena as is under my control. The line I have chalked out for the Masters of the few Vessels which have been licensed by me with your Excellency’s consent seem to be as strict as it can be with regard to such Intercourse of Ships of war or the Storeships, or of Ships employ’d by the St Helena Government. In the latter Instance only can I prevent passengers being taken on board upon the Vessel’s Departure. If therefore any illicit Intercourse exist between this place and St Helena I am inclined to think that it must be carried on by means which it will be very difficult for me to counteract. The Residents here who appear to me to have the readiest means of Communication with St Helena are a Mr Harrington and a Mr N Rose. The former supplies the Admiral and part of the Squadron whilst another Part & I believe most of the Officers Messes are supplied by the latter. I have no reason to believe that Mr Harrington would commit himself in any way as the organ of an improper Intercourse with your Island. His property here is very considerable and having settled in this Colony upon a large scale previous to the occupation of St Helena for its present object, there is no reason to suppose he would implicate himself in such transactions. Neither should I have any reason to Judge unfavourably of Mr Rose had not my attention at a previous period been drawn to him by suspicions which were communicated to me from Lord Bathurst as your Excellency is aware. Mr Rose’s residence here is of late date and certainly he has every opportunity from the Circumstance I have alluded to of corresponding with St Helena, and if your Excellency can furnish me with any clue by which you think I may trace his Transactions I will pay the greatest attention to it. The Communication between this place and Rio is so unfrequent & uncertain that I am inclined to be of Opinion that there is no suspicious communication betwixt the two places. I inclose a list of the Vessels which have arrived here from thence during the last 15 months, which will probably confirm my sentiments. And in conclusion I beg to assure your Excellency that no endeavour shall be wanting on my part to counteract the plans which may be found or aided from hence for the Escape of your Prisoner. I can only wish that your Excellency would call my attention in the first Instance to any suspicious circumstance as I shall then have earlier means of attending to them than they reach me by the circuitous route of England. The line I adopted with regard to the persons whom you sent from St Helena to this place is a Guarantee to your Excellency that nothing will be wanted here in Seconding your views for the security of the important charge which is entrusted to you. I Have &c (Signed) Chas H Somerset His Excellency Sir Hudson Lowe KCB &c &c &c ---- First letter dated 6 May 1819 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Admiral Plampin St Helena 6th May 1819 My dear Sir The following signal has been recently made “From the Cruizer Ship from the Cape with Supplies for the Island”. I have asked her name but as I have no information whatever of any such Ship being expected, I think it right to acquaint you of it that it may not be supposed she has my permission to come to the Island. I am &c (Signed) H Lowe The signal I made for her name has been answered “The Ship is not named by the Cruizer” with further “The Vessel has not yet rounded Barn point.” I have signalized in reply “Not to anchor until report has been received – the Governor has written to the Admiral” which I hope will meet your approval His Excellency Rear Admiral Plampin &c &c &c ---- Second letter dated 6 May 1819 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Admiral Plampin St Helena 6th May 1819 My dear Sir Whilst awaiting the report respecting the Vessel that is approaching, I would beg leave to suggest her being ordered away immediately, if she has simply brought Supplies here on speculation. The two last Vessels that brought us Supplies from the Cape viz, The Garland taken up by Mr Luson, even in his official Situation, on Government Account, and the other by Mr Harrington on private speculation, deceived us with respect to their ulterior destination, and although I have taken effectual steps to prevent the same thing occurring with respect to any Vessel Mr Luson may be authorized by me to take up, I think the best way is to decidedly put a stop to the practice of Vessels coming here of their kind, without a Licence, because we can always command any Supplies by giving one, and can secure against deception or abuse, in any way by the Bond, which is in such case exacted from the licensed Vessel, generally one to the Amount of 3,000 Dollars. I am &c (Signed) H Lowe His Excellency Rear Admiral Plampin &c &c &c ---- Letter dated 17 June 1819 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Lord Somerset St Helena 17th June 1819 My Lord I have had the honor of receiving your Lordship’s Letter of the 30th April, and am exceedingly obliged for the favour & attention of your Lordship’s full communication on the occasion. I had also received a Copy of the Letter signed “T E Franklin” and had anticipated what your Lordship has acquainted me of, that the name would be found a feigned one, in the same way as that, I had detected to be employed here in the Correspondence with Mr O’Meara. Mr Forbes turned out to be Mr O’Meara. Mr Fergusson will I have no doubt appear to be Mr Holmes. The only one undisclosed, is Mr Franklin. Of the two your Lordship has spoken of, Mr Rose seems the most likely, from the former mention of his name, as the medium of a correspondence with Rio Janeiro, his seeking constantly opportunities of Communication with this Island, through channels your Lordship had adverted to, being those, which offer the least chances of detection in proportion, as the less suspicion can attach to them, and which are at the same time the least under my immediate control, and the recommendation given of Mr Ball. This Person arrived at the Cape in the same Vessel with a servant who came from France for Count Bertrand. On being asked if he had brought any Letters for this Island, he said, he had not, but, on his Baggage being examined, a Packet of Letters was discovered mostly, it is true, for Commercial People and on business, but they may have been given to him notwithstanding, in order to try whether Letters thus delivered to a private hand, would pass freely, and to establish relations in the first instance. The Letters were principally from a Mr Thompson, who is Agent to some Persons of the name of Solomon in this Island, a name which almost implies some predisposition to engage in illicit speculations. The Letter for an officer of the Hyæna, the Admiral acquaints me, spoke of a Mr Smith, who was formerly clerk on board the Hyæna and is now at the Cape wanting, it is said, to come here. This Person appears to me not the least likely of those whose names have as yet been spoken of. With respect to Captain Harrington, I am by no means inclined to suppose, he would engage in any direct attempt to evade the Regulations in force on this Island, but under the cover of commercial speculation, he might notwithstanding be easily rendered a channel for indirect communication on the part of others, without being perhaps aware of the object and extent, to which their views might lead. It has been one unvaried endeavour on his part, to establish his means of communication with this Island, as well for sending letters as for the shipment of any articles he wants to send here, through the Vessels of the Squadron, without any regard to the civil and military authority, which it is to be observed however is, in regard to all communications from without, so as to prevent admission of any thing that has not passed under its immediate inspection, the sole responsible one. He latterly it is true, applied to Mr Brooke, for a license to a Schooner (which he said he had got out from England expressly for the purpose) to pass between this Island & the Cape Numerous considerations prevented by granting such a license to any particular person, but he then endeavoured to get her taken up by the Admiral. As she has not arrived, I presumed he did not succeed in this attempt. In the meanwhile, two Vessels have touched here from the Cape, without license, in one of which was a nephew of his, and in the other a supercargo, without any previous references to me whatever. These Vessels brought Letters and some Articles for speculation, but the Passengers were not permitted to land. Captn Harrington from the tenor of some of his Letters here, seems disappointed that as an E I Company’s Officer, he has not met more encouragement from hence; but the manner in which Sir P Malcolm endeavoured to establish him as a general Agent for this Island, without hardly any reference to me, and not with that regard which I conceived was due to the main objects of my duty here, and the closeness of his relations with the House of Balcombe against any extension of whose means of Communication except in such channels as were directly under my Control I had strong reasons to object, would not permit me to act otherwise. Disappointed in his expectations on this point, he endeavoured to incite the Inhabitants of this Island to memorial the Admiral against the measures of the local Government, but he had taken a wrong view of their case. He wished afterwards to make it appear, that he had advised only their memorialising the Government, but I had seen his Letter. He had written also to the present Admiral’s Secretary, a bold measure, if he did not act on the suggestion of the preceding one, who had hardly at that time quitted the station. I mention this circumstance, not certainly with any idea of resuming the matter with or towards Captain Harrington, but for your Lordship’s entire information. Captain Harrington may perhaps have not been so much to blame. He only had not read with sufficient attention the Act of Parliament for regulating the intercourse with this Island, nor considered with sufficient seriousness how much it behoved me to watch over its due execution. I have the certain knowledge, that the freight of a single letter presents greater advantage to the Masters of passing Vessels, than that of many Tons of Cargo. In reference to what your Lordship has had the goodness to suggest, that I would point out in what way my duties here might be assisted by you, I have only to express my obligations for the aid already afforded in various instances, and particularly in the form of license adopted, in respect to Vessels that had obtained my permission to touch here. I inclose however copy of our Port Regulations, in the event of your Lordship desiring to be acquainted with them, & their presenting any hint. The Admiral has adopted the 3d and 25th as well the 4th Article for Regulations with the Navy, and this is doing a great deal, to check any means of Correspondence, except in channels that are known to me. If I should trace any infraction in the Intercourse with the Cape, I shall not fail to give your Lordship immediate information of it. The information your Lordship received respecting Mr Franklin, was not sent in the first instance from hence, nor the result of any communication from me, in respect to the Cape. Two Letters proceeds by this occasion from the Foreign Commissioners. One from Count Balmain to Capt Harrington inclosing a Packet, as he tells me, for the Russian Minister at Rio Janeiro and the other from the Marquis de Monchenu for a Monsr de Lettre at the Cape, of whom incidentally as he carries on an occasional correspondence with this Island, I should be happy to know your Lordship’s opinion Captn Harrington, Count Balmain tells me, owes his appointment of Russian Consul at the Cape to the recommendation of Sir Pulteney Malcolm. Count Balmain has set a proper example in this case, by forwarding his letter through me, as has the Marquis also. It remains to be seen what channel Captn H will resort to for sending his reply. Count Balmain has occasionally received Letters from England which have not come in my Bags, through the Admiral, or by Post. I am not able to say however, they came by way of the Cape. I inclose a List of the only Vessels that have recently touched here from the Cape without license.

Colonial Office 6th July 1819 A Similar Note was sent to Mr De Lettre [ ] ---- Letter dated 13 July 1819 from Mr Harrington to Mr Brooke Seaforth, Simon’s Town July 13th 1819 My dear Brooke I duly received your Letter of the 6th April, but, having Nothing to say in Reply, did not think it worthwhile to trouble you with a simple Acknowledgement only. I am now requiring a little of your Assistance on a very different Occasion, and that is to endeavour to procure Payment for me of certain Expenses attached to a Phaeton sent up here some Time since for Sale by Genl Bertrand, but which was returned to him, by his own desire, after being put up at different Vendues in Cape Town without Success for a Twelvemonth Previous to it being re-shipped. The Carriage Partly being broken, the Springs being nearly destroyed by Rust, and the Lining (from Damp and the Moth) in tatters, I considered in indispensably necessary to repair the first, to strengthen the Second, and to replace the Third with a new Lining of the plainest kind. The whole Affair was completed on the cheapest Terms that could be got at the Cape, the Amount stated to Messrs Balcombe, Cole & Co for the General’s Information, and an Offer made by myself individually to take the Carriage off his Hands at the highest Price that ever had been offered here for it if the foregoing necessary Expenses were disapproved by him. Messrs Balcombe, Cole & Co nevertheless instructed me to return the Phaeton, which was done by the first Opportunity, but the Expenses are still unpaid, and the above Gentlemen seem doubtful if they ever may be liquidated. What has caused this I cannot learn from them, but I have lately seen in an English Paper a Statement of said Phaeton being “broken to Pieces” on your wharf by Persons searching for Letters under the Authority of Government, and if such Statement be true General Bertrand’s Objections to Payment are easily understood. Pray oblige me by saying what are the real Circumstances of the Case and by doing your best either towards my Reimbursement, or Repossession of the Carriage, however injured, as the Case may be. I certainly ought not to be a Loser on this Occasion, having simply used an Agent’s Discretion in doing what appeared to be necessary for preserving the Property of a Constituent. Accept and present the best Regards of my Family to yours, and believe me Dear Brooke Yours faithfully (Signed) T T Harrington Messrs Balcombe, Cole & Co have a memo of the charges herein alluded to.

T T H ---- Letter dated 17 July 1819 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Lord Somerset St Helena 17th July 1819 My Lord I have some reason to believe that by a Vessel which may soon be expected at the Cape there will arrive as a passenger the ... Mr ... on his return hither from leave of absence in England. This Gentleman had his some implicated to a certain extent in the affairs of Mr O’Meara and through [sic] he used a good deal of caution and may not have been committed over deeply, yet his line of conduct has been so much disapproved as to draw forth a particular Instruction from Government to me regarding him. His object in going to the Cape I am unable to judge as several very fine opportunities have offered for his coming direct to this Island. I think it likely for many reasons he will associate principally with Captn ... . I am far from ascribing to either any direct intention to facilitate the escape of my Prisoner but attempts to excite a kind of Party feeling in his favour, to misrepresent his situation here, to make a grievance of every restraint which it may have been found necessary to enforce on the intercourse with the Island however little the Inhabitants themselves really feel it, and perhaps to establish some means of correspondence by which Persons may have an opportunity of making known their sentiments to each other without their Letters passing through any channel that is known to the Government and thus to be free from any alarm lest their Letters might be stopped (although except in the case where a false name is assumed and the intent of adopting it previously discovered is a measure I have never been compelled to have recourse to) may not impossibly enter into Mr ... views. Mr ... has however links of acquaintance and connexion with Captain ... on other grounds than these. He is a Protector here of a Family of the name of ... with whom he is on his wife’s side related; a daughter of Mr ... is married to Mr ... of this Island, formerly ... his principal correspondent and partner in the House of ... Mr ... is also ... ; a son of Mr ... married a woman servant of Captain ... and a correspondence is constantly kept up between the Families. It was one of the principal objects, I believe, of Mr ... going to England to procure the reinstatement of Mr ... , in an office from which he had been dismissed by the Government of the Island, [viz] This dismissal, which sprang from causes wholly foreign to the main object of my duties here, it has however been endeavoured to represent, as arising from political causes, and I think it is not unlikely, it is under colour of Mr ... ’s wrongs the spirit of misrepresentation may principally begin to develop itself. Mr ... had already misled some of the ... on this point but they must ere now have seen their error. If I had had time to have acquainted Lord Bathurst of his intention to have passed by the Cape, I am persuaded your Lordship would have received some communication respecting him, and therefore under the impression I am his visit to the Cape must have an object I should feel it a real remissness of my duty if I did not use every means in my power to endeavour to arrive at a knowledge of it, whilst to be under some degree of observation in a place when neither he or any of his acquaintances can have the smallest reason to suppose any suspicion whatever attaches to him (for Mr ... himself does not know the grounds I have against him) appears to be one of the best means for such a purpose.

(Signed) Jan Arnoldt Sworn before His Majesty’s Fiscal at the Cape. ---- Letter dated [11] September 1819 from Mr Harrington to Lord Somerset Seaforth [11] Sept 1819 My Lord A Pamphlet lately published in London having within these few days appeared at the Cape, entitled Facts Illustrative of the Treatment of Napoleon Bonaparte in St Helena, which mentions, my name in terms as scurrilous and unprovoked as I trust they are unmerited, I feel it to be due not only to my Situation here as His Imperial Russian Majesty’s Consul but also as to my Character as an English Gentleman of good family and true constitutional principles, and a merchant of respectability under Your Excellency’s Government and Protection to repel the charges which the author of such Pamphlet has indirectly brought against me, and to adduce such proofs of its falsehood, as will leave no doubt on the public mind of the unworthy and contemptible motives which have urged him to its propagation. So far back as the month of November 1816 Messrs Balcombe & Co of St Helena sent up to my Firm a small light Phaeton belonging to General Bertrand with a request that it might be sold at the Cape, the General having no further occasion for it. Accordingly it was advertised in the Courant, and put up for sale by Public vendue at my warehouse as No 1 & 2 of the papers enclosed herewith will prove – and no other person offering so much for it, was bought was bought in by myself on the General’s account for 200 Rix dollars. It was afterwards tried at various other vendues for more than a twelvemonth, during which time I repeatedly wrote to Messrs Balcombe Cole & Compy respecting it, and was eventually authorised to sell it for any sum which might be offered. Still however I felt reluctant to sacrifice or to appear to sacrifice a Foreigner’s property entrusted to my charge in any way and therefore after some consideration of what would be most for the General’s interest, I determined on giving the Phaeton such repairs as were absolutely necessary to make it useful and saleable, and when complete either to try again by Public sale, to take it myself at the sum it was originally bought in with all subsequent charges, or to send it down again to St Helena as the General himself might determine. I acted and wrote to Messrs Balcombe Cole & Co accordingly and having received instructions from them to send the Carriage down forthwith, I did so by the Brig Clyde in the month of September 1818 with an account of the charge for Repairs &c, in which neither Commission nor store hire appeared as No 3, being a copy of the same, will testify. Nos 4, 5 & 6 are vouchers for the principal charges therein made and No 7 is a declaration made on oath before His Majesty’s Fiscal by the Tradesman who new lined the carriage that no letters were concealed in it when put out of his handling. These documents will I trust serve to shew not only that the Phaeton was sent up to the Cape by Messrs Balcombe Cole& Co without ant sinister view in the first instance but that I also acted honestly and properly in the management of the Commission, however unsuccessful its result. Since the return of the Phaeton to St Helena I have often applied for payment of the charges incurred but could not obtain it and at length, after seeing a paragraph in a London paper which stated that the carriage was broken to pieces on the wharf at St Helena in a search after letters instituted by Government. I addressed Mr Brooke of the Council at that Island upon the subject, under date 13 July last and am at this moment awaiting his reply. The foregoing my Lord is a true statement of the share which I have had in this transaction and your Excellency will judge from it how far the anonymous author of the Pamphlet is correct or otherwise in his account of the same. I conclusion I humbly request that your Excellency will be pleased to forward a copy of this letter with its enclosures at your earliest convenience to the Rt Hon Lord Bathurst accompanying it with such observations relative to my Character and Conduct during the three years I have resided here as may to you seem most appropriate. I shall communicate myself on the subject with His Excellency Count Lieven H I R M Ambassador at the British Court and also with Count Balmain Russian Commissioner at St Helena and I have the Honor to be My Lord Your most obed Humble Servant (signed) T T Harrington H I R M Consul His Excellency the Right Honorable Lord Charles Somerset Governor and Commander in Chief ---- Letter dated 11 September 1819 from Lord Somerset to Mr Harrington Cape Good Hope Sept 11 1819 Sir I had this day the honor to receive your letter and its several Enclosures which in compliance with your request, I shall take the earliest opportunity of transmitting to His Majesty’s Secretary of State.

The insinuation and the Author are perhaps equally deserving of contempt and as a private Individual I feel no other sentiment with regard to them, but the situation of His Imperial Majesty’s Consul which I have the honour to hold here demands from me something more and in consequence I have addressed a Letter to his Excellency Lord Charles Somerset with Sundry Papers accompanying on the subject, Copies of which and His Lordship’s reply are herewith enclosed. I trust they will prove not only that the insinuation complained of is equally and malicious, but also that my Imperial Master, in appointing me Russian Consul here, has not bestowed his confidence on one unworthy of it. I presume you will consider it necessary to make the contents of this Letter known to the Government at Saint Helena. (Signed) T Harrington PS No opportunity has yet offered of forwarding your Packet to H I R M Ambassador at the Court of Brazil. Count Balmain Commissioner &c &c ---- Letter dated 25 September 1819 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Lord Somerset St Helena 25th September 1819 My Lord I had the honour of receiving your Lordship’s Letters of 13th July and 1st September and feel most sensible of the obliging attention you have the goodness to shew in points by which I may be in any way assisted as to my principal duties here. I am perfectly of the same opinion your Lordship has expressed in respect to Captain Harrington never having suspected him of acting on any other principle in his communications with this Island than that of commercial speculation, and a certain fretful disappointment at not finding it encouraged by me, arising from causes upon which I had not touched in former Letters, which I may at some time or other have an opportunity of more fully developing to your Lordship but which had no regard to the personal character of Captain Harrington whom I had never seen and whom I had in general favourably spoken of. His disappointment however had led him to suspect personal objections and hence some strong indiscretions in his correspondence here have been certainly committed. A trifling one has recently occurred. He wrote a letter to Mr B the Member of Council enclosing an extract he had cut out of a Paper with I know not what story about a Carriage he had sent Count Bertrand having been broken to pieces at its examination on its arrival here and saying he was not surprized in such at Count Bertrand’s refusing payment for it. There is not a particle of Truth, as Captain Harrington must have known from the Letters he received from hence when the Carriage arrived, and his ready adoption of the News Paper Story with his defence of Count Bertrand is therefore less excusable. Mr B. will answer him on this subject. Count Balmain received a Letter (I presume in answer to that I sent to Your Lordship from Captain Harrington) by the Post. This is a channel to which Captain H had never before resorted, even in his correspondence with Private Individuals here, and where so obvious and regular a channel presented itself as that which Count B himself had recourse to, it is curious that a different one should have been sought for to send the reply, particularly as no acknowledgement was made to your Lordship for the Letter you forwarded through the Colonial Secretary. In other respects the Post is a perfectly regular channel though there can have been no necessity or no good and proper reason in this case for having had recourse to it. It only marks unjustifiable mistrust and suspicion, or is meant to convey it, and this to a Foreign Person in high Official situation such as the [Russian] Commissioner. I think wrong on the part of any British Subject even though he may hold the Office of [Imperial] Consul. Your Lordship will, I am persuaded, see this in the same light as myself. I attach however no importance whatever as Count B knows me somewhat better than Captain H and has a truer knowledge how matters really are conducted here. It may be necessary to explain how I became informed that Count B had received a Letter from Captain H. An Officer always attends at the opening or despatching of every Mail to see if there are any Letters from, or to the address of, the Foreign Persons under detention here, and the address of a Letter for Count B, being in the handwriting of Captain H which is well known here, is all the information I have had on the matter. I have to pray Your Lordship’s excuses for this long intrusion in so trivial a matter. I have seen the Book of which Mr H is said to be the author, but have no other motive for ascribing it to him than that of mere report. I have had no participation whatever in the work, and though I feel sensible of the Author’s good intentions towards me, I regret the pointedness of his remarks in some instances upon others. (Signed) H Lowe His Excellency General The Right Hble Lord C H Somerset &c &c ---- Extract of a letter dated 11 October 1819 from Mr Brooke to Mr Harrington If the evasion of payment alluded to in your letter of 13th July be persisted in upon the grounds you seem to suspect I can only say that I am sorry you should have advanced money on no better security than the faith of a Man who could practice such an evasion. You ask me if the statement be true of which you sent me the extract cut out from a News Paper. I cannot repress my surprise at your question particularly after you had been informed by Mr Cole (as I understand) that he was sorry you had not sent your bill in time for it to have accompanied the Carriage to Longwood. I must really refer you for an answer to the Editor of the Morning Chronicle as he of course knows the Authority for the Report. Your demand has repeatedly been preferred to your creditor but it seems without effect and I imagine no Court here is competent to compel payment. Nevertheless in reply to my application to Sir Hudson Lowe he informs me he will use such means as are in his power to endeavour to recover you the money as he does not like to suffer himself to be outwitted in matters that relate to the dealings of the persons at Longwood with any British subjects and has recently in consequence supported a claim of the House of Balcombe & Co altho the Chief of that House has forfeited all claims to his consideration. ---- Letter dated 21 October 1819 from Mr Harrington to Count Balmain Cape of Good Hope October 21st 1819 Sir I have already written to you by this opportunity and am now to apprize you that the Ship Heroine in which I have taken my passage to England will sail on Thursday next the 26th Instant. She will probably get sight of St Helena about the 8th or 10th of next month; will be distinguished by a Red English Ensign at the Fore and will speak the Windward Cruizer for the purpose of giving and Receiving Letters. Should you have any either Private or Public to send to Europe I shall of course be happy to take charge of them or of any Commissions which you may wish to have carefully executed. It is not improbable I may visit Petersbourgh previous to my return to the Colony and I expect to be back here again within the twelve month. Should you wish to see me for any purpose passing St Helena I doubt not the Admiral will permit the Windward Cruizer to bring me in and I shall wait on you with pleasure. Your Letter for the Ambassador at Brazil I shall have an opportunity of forwarding very shortly to the British Consul at Bohia. (Signed) T Harrington H I R M Consul at the Cape Count Balmain &c &c &c ---- Letter probably of 8 November 1819 from Sir Thomas Reade to Sir Hudson Lowe Monday Morning Enclosed is the Report of the Ship Arrived. As she is a whaler I will make enquiry as soon as I see the Captain whether Miss Smith can go in her. Count Balmain sent me some Papers and Letters which he received from Mr Harrington at the Cape about the Carriage of Count Bertrand. I am copying them and will send them as quick as possible. Among the Paper however was a letter from Mr Harrington (copy of which is enclosed) relative to his touching here on his Way home. He appears to put you quite out of the question in respect to Landing but seems to think that Permission from the Admiral and Russian Commissioner quite sufficient. I should not be surprised if the Vessel in Sight is the Ship in which he is embarked. What must be done about him. (Signed) T Reade Lt General Sir Hudson Lowe KCB &c &c &c ---- First letter dated 9 November 1819 from Sir Thomas Reade to Sir Hudson Lowe 9th November 1819 Your Instructions shall be attended to regarding the Ship in which Mr Harrington is on board. She is now to Leeward about Two Leagues endeavouring to reach the Anchorage. I have not been able to learn yet what the Guard Boat did but Mr Brabazon brought the accompanying Letters from her. He called at my Home about an Hour after I had gone to Bed and I have not been able to see him this morning. The moment anything occurs regarding the Ship I will make you acquainted. (Signed) T Reade Lieut General Sir H Lowe KCB &c &c &c ---- Second letter dated 9 November 1819 from Sir Thomas Reade to Sir Hudson Lowe 9th November 1819 I have the honor to report for Your Excellency’s information that at a little before sunset yesterday evening that a ship that had been signalised early in the morning passed Banks’s Battery without having been spoken by the Windward Cruizer or the Permission Flag hoisted for her to come to the Anchorage. As it was much too late for her to Anchor agreeable to the Port Regulations I directed Lieut Smith not to go on Board her fully expecting that she would have stood to Windward for the night, particularly as several shots had been fired ahead of her from Banks’s Battery to warn her off. It appears however that the Master Attendant, without waiting for Lieut Smith as is customary, proceeded to the Vessel, notwithstanding the shots fired ahead of her from Banks’s; that the Admission Flag had not been hoisted; and that it was so late that the Sunset Gun had fired before he could reach her. He in consequence did not return until after dark when the Bridge was drawn up and the Gates closed, and it then further appeared that he had not only boarded the Vessel and received the Master’s report, which is not customary except when an Officer of my Department visits the Vessel on the same occasion, but in disregard of the 3d Article of the Port Regulations that is only to the officer who communicated those Regulations Letters are to be delivered, had received a Packet and some loose Letters from her. I have the honor &c (Signed) T Reade His Excellency the Governor &c &c &c ---- Letter dated 19 November 1819 from Count Balmain to Sir Hudson Lowe St James ce 19 Novembre 1819 Monsieur le Gouverneur Je m’empresse de vous transmettre ci joint les letters et [pièces] y relatives au Mr Harrington. Veuillez en faire l’usage et les gardez aussi long tems [sic] que vous voudrez. Agréez en même tems [sic] l’expression de la très sincère et respectueuse considération avec laquelle j’ai l’honneur d’être Monsieur le Gouverneur &c &c &c (Signé) Balmain à S E Sir Hudson Lowe &c &c &c ---- Letter dated 20 November 1819 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Earl Bathurst St Helena 20th November 1819 No 264 My Lord Having heard that a request had been made to His Excellency Lord Charles Somerset, Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, by Mr Harrington, an English Merchant of that Colony, to forward to Your Lordship certain papers which has been addressed by him to Lord Charles Somerset, I think it proper to acquaint Your Lordship of the following circumstances in relation thereto. Early in this month Rear Admiral Plampin informed me he had received a Letter from Mr Harrington acquainting him of his intention of proceeding to England with a view to obtaining a Contract for the supply of flour to the Squadron on this Station. Mr Harrington also mentioned that if the Admiral wished to see him on his passage by this Island he would attend to his desires if made known to him through the Windward Cruizer, and that the Ship in which he was to sail, called the “Heroine”, would hoist a distinguishing flag at her foremast as she came into sight. The Admiral had an account to settle with Mr Harrington. He sent a Bill for the amount with a Note on board the Windward Cruizer. On the 7th Instant a Vessel arrived here from the Cape of Good Hope, and brought a Packet from Mr Harrington for Count Balmain. Count Balmain has sent to me the Letters he received, and I have the honor to enclose to Your Lordship copies of them. He made known their contents immediately on receiving them to Lieut Colonel Sir Thomas Reade. On the day after this Vessel’s arrival a strange sail was signalized, and without having spoken to the Windward Cruizer was making direct for the Anchorage at a time when no Vessels whatever are allowed to anchor, viz after Sunset. No order had been given respecting her, but as she attempted to pass the Batteries a shot was fired a head, as is Customary in respect to all Vessels which attempt to Anchor before the Permission flag is hoisted. It was not at this moment known what the vessel was. She came afterwards in sight from the Town and hoisted the flag of which Mr Harrington had given Notice to the Admiral and Count Balmain but exclusive of this Government having no intimation of such flag being intended to be hoisted, or application having been made to it either by Mr Harrington himself, the Admiral or Count Balmain for the Vessel being admitted, it was past the hour when Ships are allowed to Anchor even though it might have been a Ship of War or one of the East India Company’s Vessels. She stood off for the Night, in the Morning received the Admiral’s Letter from the Windward Cruizer and then made sail. She had been boarded in the meantime by the Master Attendant’s Boat and proved to be the “Heroine”, having a great number of Passengers on board from all parts of India and the Cape among whom was a certain Comte de la Villebogue from Calcutta. As Mr Harrington, under the title of Consul of His Majesty the Emperor of Russia at the Cape of Good Hope, appears to have assumed an undue consequence on this occasion I think it not irrelevant to make the following remarks on his Letter to the Admiral and the Papers he transmitted to Count Balmain. In neither one or the other did he seem to consider that any reference whatever was necessary to my consent as Governor of this Island for his being permitted to communicate with it. If the Russian Commissioner wished to see him “he has no doubt that the Admiral will permit the Windward Cruizer to bring him in”. He is to speak to her “for the purpose of giving and receiving Letters”. No reference is made to any authority whatever on shore. As however neither the Admiral nor the Russian Commissioner had any particular business to transact with Mr Harrington no question whatever arose with respect to his Admission and he did not himself make any application to land or to communicate with the Shore, he has thus no cause to be offended at any want of due deference to the character, rank and station upon which he appears so much to have built. In respect of the subject of his Letter to Lord Charles Somerset I have referred to the book which contains the remarks upon which his representation is founded but in whatever offensive or mortifying light he may view the manner in which his name is introduced it cannot be said there is any disloyal or clandestine proceeding imputed to him. The statement in the Book is itself not only a refutation of the calumnious story which had been spread about the Carriage but an acquittal even of Mr Harrington from any injurious imputation for if he had been a suspected person there is no reason why the lining of the Carriage should not have been searched to see if any Letters were concealed within it. There cannot however be a stronger proof of Mr Harrington’s disposition to cling to the original report, as published I believe in the Morning Chronicle , of the Carriage having been broken to pieces on its arrival here than his having cut out this Paragraph from the Paper and having inclosed it to Mr Brooke, Senior Member of Council of this Island, with a letter of which Copy is annexed wherein he hesitates not at once to suppose that the fault of his not having been paid lies in the Authorities of the British Government on this Island and not in any of the foreign Persons under detention here. The supposition on the part of Mr Harrington is the more remarkable as Mr Cole, a Partner of the House of Balcombe, Cole & Co, had written to him about three months preceding, saying his Bill had been forwarded to Count Bertrand because it had not come in time to accompany the Carriage. Consequently he was well aware that the Carriage had been sent, and knew at least one sufficient cause for the Bill not having been paid, viz that of the Account not having been sent. When written to by Mr Cole it was also suggested to him that if he wished to address himself to Count Bertrand on the subject he must send the letter through me. This direct and natural course Mr Harrington however did not think fit to pursue. He writes as he says to a Member of the Council, well knowing that the Council takes no part in the affairs of the Longwood Establishment and notwithstanding the clear and distinct refutation contained in the Book from which he himself quotes of the assertion of the Carriage having been broken to pieces he nevertheless does not hesitate to bring forward this assertion in his Letter to Lord Charles Somerset and to refer to it in his Letter to Count Balmain. In order to present some explanation of the motives which may possibly have influenced Mr Harrington in not having reference to me, I must here mention some circumstances which occurred within the first year of my arrival here. On Rear Admiral Sir P Malcolm’s proceeding to the Cape of Good Hope he made an arrangement by which Thirty Tons of spare tonnage were to be granted to Mr Harrington of that place on board the Naval Storeships and Transports employed on this Station for the purpose of shipping Articles for the supply of General Bonaparte’s Establishment (Mr Harrington being the Correspondent of Mr Balcombe, the then Purveyor) and for the use of the Regimental Messes. Rear Admiral Sir P Malcolm established at the same time that no tonnage on private account should be granted to any other Individual. If any Article were wanted by any Person here they were to apply to Mr Harrington. I was not made acquainted with this arrangement until one of the Transports had sailed for the Cape, after Sir P Malcolm’s return from thence, when, it having been made known to me by him, I immediately expressed my objections against it. It interfered with an arrangement that had been made by Rear Admiral Sir George Cockburn of giving to this Island two thirds of the tonnage on board every Vessel of War, Storeship and Transport passing by or employed at the Island, an arrangement fixed with every consideration to our wants and with which I was perfectly satisfied and as the two Transports then upon this Station had been stopped here by Rear Admiral Sir George Cockburn upon my application specifically to bring supplies to this Island. I therefore felt myself fully justified in expecting that the tonnage allotted for the service of the Island should be placed at the disposition of its own Government and what was a most material part of it, viz Thirty Tons of clear stowage after the Main Decks had been filled with Cattle should not be placed at the disposition of a private Individual acting for persons residing under my authority but not bound in any responsible tie whatever to me. There could besides be no motive for my employing this Person as there was a regularly accredited Agent of the East India Company at the Cape of Good Hope, not himself engaged in any Commercial business, enjoying a large salary for the duty he performed and responsible for all his Acts. The tonnage destined for Island use I deemed most fit should be placed at his disposal. The return of the first Transport which had sailed from the Island for the Cape after this arrangement had been made proved the justice of my apprehensions in regard to the inconvenience likely to result from it. A complete disappointment in not receiving Articles on the Public Account of which we were essentially in want whilst the Thirty Tons which had been given to Mr Harrington were mostly filled with private Merchandise. The inconvenience cannot be better proved than by stating that Barley, an Article of the first necessity for Forage and for feeding Cattle, could not be obtained here under 9s/- per Bushel and was charged by Mr Balcombe in his accounts as Purveyor at 8s/- when it was to be obtained at the Cape on Government account by the Transports under 3s/- per bushel. This inconvenience prevailed some time: however, the arrangement in favour of Mr Harrington was dropped. He may naturally be presumed to have felt much disappointment. I cannot in any other way account for the extraordinary circumstance of his having shortly afterwards addressed a Letter to a Merchant of this Island, endeavouring to excite him and the Mercantile people to join in making an Appeal to the Naval Commander in Chief at the Station against the Regulations of the local Government, the Letter, of which a copy is enclosed, will speak for itself. The Vessel on board of which Mr Harrington had endeavoured to embark the Articles spoken of in his letter was a Transport; the Merchant to whom the Letter was addressed made known the Contents of it to Lieut Colonel Sir Thomas Reade. I shortly afterwards caused a Public Notice to be issued on the Island stating that a licence had been given to a vessel about to sail for the Cape and desiring the Inhabitants to send in the quantity of Tonnage they required. The House of Balcombe, Cole & Co, the principal Correspondents of Mr Harrington, only required Two Tons. The grievance was not that the Inhabitants were not allowed to import on board Private Vessels, but that their Correspondents at the Cape could not export, freight-free, on board Government Vessels. It may possibly be conceived, and I know it has been so mentioned, that undue and unnecessary obstacles are created to the Merchants of this Island in their intercourse with the Cape of Good Hope. I think it proper on this occasion to mention the general principle on which I have acted in this matter. The Act of Parliament gives me the power of granting licences. I have never given any for more than one Voyage at a time, renewing it as I have felt satisfaction at the conduct of the Parties. No individual therefore can be certain of a renewal of his licence or form any plan accordingly. I did not however dissent from, but even permitted, Vessels from the Cape to receive supplies for this Island taking their chance in passing by it, after speaking to the Windward Cruizer, of being allowed to anchor and dispose of what they brought. [No] express sanction was given to any Vessel for coming here, and if any circumstance should arise to call for a prevention of communication with her, it was a risk to which the Shipper of the Articles knew himself exposed and he could not reproach the Government for betraying him into any loss by false expectation. I had never had occasion to prevent communication with any Vessel which thus came here, and the Merchants here were so confident of my disposition to assist their views that some of them had written, desiring that Articles might be shipped on board the first passing Private Vessel. A Vessel had actually received some Articles on board when the Hyæna, naval Store Ship commanded by Captain Hicks, arrived at the Cape. It appears that Captain Hicks had some conversation with the Master of another Vessel that had received some supplies for the Island, had told him he would not be permitted to approach it, and that if he met him at Sea he would warn him off. The Master of this Vessel, the Elizabeth, which had on board Letters from the Isle of France for me, and a Carriage for Brigadier General Sir George Bingham, did in consequence reland the Articles he had taken aboard at the Cape. The other Vessel which had also received Articles for this place relanded them. These circumstances were declared by the Master of the Elizabeth, on finding that the Cruizer did not prevent his approach to the Island, but that he was admitted immediately on making his business known. The Hyæna Store Ship soon after arrived here. Several Articles came on board her on private account, and Captain Hicks was tried by a Naval Court Martial, and dismissed his Ship, for trading on his own account. From this period Mr Harrington has made various attempts to have a Vessel employed between the Cape and this Island, sent once a Super Cargo on board a passing Ship and at another time a relation of his own, without any authority, and has in fact never ceased using his endeavours to establish some communications by shipping with the Island. It is now his object, I understand, to secure the consent of the Naval Authorities at Home to his obtaining a Contract for the supply of Grain and Flour to the Squadron. It would of course be presumptuous on my part to offer any objection, nor in fact am I aware of any, to his becoming the contractor for the supply of this, or any other Articles, whether for the Squadron or of the Island itself. Mr Luson, the Company’s Agent at the Cape, contracts with a variety of persons for the Articles he sends to this Island, such as Bullocks, Sheep, Wine, Barley, &c but none of these individuals have any concern whatever in shipping them or sending supercargoes in charge of them or can use any pretext for employing or taking up Tonnage to send those Articles here, the charge and responsibility on this head resting exclusively with the Company’s Agent. I have thus a full guarantee against abuse on the part of any Individual shipping Articles on their own account in the name of that of Government or of corresponding or coming here under any feigned pretexts. When a proposal was made to me in the month of September 1817 by a Mr Heathorn to contract for supplying Cattle he informed me that the Person with whom he intended to connect himself was Mr Harrington, that the contract for the Cattle alone did not furnish the ground for expectation, but the advantage which might be gained by having two Vessels constantly employed in passing between this Island and the Cape, whereby other speculations might be carried on. This was incompatible with the Principle I had laid down for licensing vessels and I therefore did not encourage his proposal. Mr Heathorn was not dissatisfied with the reasons I adduced to him and they are of such a nature as incline me to believe the reflections I have presumed to offer respecting Mr Harrington’s proposals may not be thought wholly irrelevant. The Government has in fact no occasion for the aid of Individuals in procuring supplies. It can always command them, and at a cheaper rate, than through Private Merchants by taking up freight on its own account and employing its own responsible Agents in the transaction whatever it may be.

I am further directed to transmit to you an Extract of a Letter from Mr Harrington to Mr Brooke, relative to one of the demands. I have the honour &c (Signed) G Gorrequer Count Bertrand &c &c &c ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Extract of a Letter addressed by T T Harrington Esqre of the Cape of Good Hope, to T H Brooke Esqre St Helena dated Simon’s Town 13th July 1819 I am now requiring a little of your assistance, on a very different occasion, and that is to endeavour to procure payment for me of certain Expenses, attached to a Phaeton sent up here some time since for Sale by General Bertrand, but which was returned to him by his own desire, after being put up at different Vendues in Cape Town, without success for a Twelvemonth. Previous to it being re-shipped. the Carriage Part being broken, the Springs nearly destroyed by Rust, and the Lining (from Damp and the Moth) in Tatters, I considered in indispensably necessary to repair the first, to strengthen the second, and to replace the third with a new Lining, of the plainest kind. The whole affair was completed on the cheapest Terms that could be got at the Cape, the Amount stated to Messrs Balcombe, Cole & Co for the General’s information, and an Offer made by myself individually to take the Carriage off his hands, at the highest price that ever had been offered here for it, if the foregoing necessary Expenses were disapproved by him. Messrs Balcombe, Cole & Co, nevertheless instructed me to return the Phaeton, which was done by the first opportunity, but the Expenses are still unpaid, and the above Gentlemen seem doubtful if they ever may be liquidated. I certainly ought not to be a Loser on this occasion, having simply used an Agent’s discretion, in doing what appeared to be necessary for preserving the Property of a Constituent. Messrs Balcombe, Cole & Co have a Memorandum of the Charges herein alluded to. None were made for Warehouse Rent or any thing of that sort, only Expenses actually incurred by (Signed) T T Harrington ---- Letter dated 22 November 1819 from Major Gorrequer to Count Montholon St Helena 22nd November 1819 Sir In transmitting you the enclosed Letter from the House of Balcombe, Cole & Co I am directed by the Governor to refer to the Note with Extract enclosed, I addressed to you by his order on the 27th August last, and to claim your attention to the particular urgency of the demands that are now made. I have the honour &c (Signed) G Gorrequer Count Montholon &c &c &c ---- Letter dated 25 November 1819 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Earl Bathurst No 265 St Helena 25th November 1819 My Lord Mr Harrington, a Merchant of the Cape of Good Hope, having addressed a Letter to Rear Admiral Plampin mentioning that he has gone to England for the purposes of proposing to supply the Navy on this Station with flour from the Cape, and conceiving although he has made no reference to this Government on the subject, he may possibly propose to supply the Troops and Inhabitants on this Island in the same manner, I have thought it advisable to enclose for Your Lordship’s information, extract from a Letter addressed by the Governor and Council to the Court of Directors, relative to a similar proposal which was made two years since by Mr Heathorn, who had intended to act in conjunction with Mr Harrington. It may afford an encouragement to the Colonists at the Cape, to procure either grain or flour from thence; in other respects I am not aware of any particular advantage likely to result. The Charge for erecting the Mill which has been calculated at between £5000 and £6000 (if it is to be erected here) being a Counter balance to any diminution in the price of the flour, but as the last Paragraph of the Letter to the Court of Directors supposes a particular reference to Your Lordship before the Court comes to any determination on the subject I deem it unnecessary to intrude any further on Your Lordship’s time regarding it. (Signed) H Lowe The Earl Bathurst K G ---- Letter dated 26 November 1819 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Count Balmain Plantation House 26th November 1819 Monsieur le Comte Je renvoye les papiers de Monsr Harrington, que vous avez eu la complaisance de me prêter et vous prie d’agréer mes remercimens [sic]. (Signed) H Lowe Count Balmain &c &c &c ---- Letter dated 27 November 1819 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Earl Bathurst St Helena 27th November 1819 My Lord Having been put in possession by Count Balmain of the several Papers addressed to him by Mr Harrington, in his quality of Russian Consul at the Cape, I have thought it advisable to lay the whole circumstances before Your Lordship, in the event of Mr Harrington being so indiscreet, as to endeavour to draw the public attention to his Case; and regarding only the primary cause of the dissatisfaction he seems to feel at my conduct, have been full in my report, reserving to support what is stated by a train of documents, if thought necessary. It appears to me of importance, if he does attempt to intrude himself upon either Public or Official Notice, that he should not be allowed a substitute a false Argument for the real one; that those who may advise him, being the persons probably who recommended him to the situation of Russian Consul, may thus, if they attempt to intermeddle in any shape, be made to feel that they have been themselves the cause. Captain Hicks, who is spoken of as having been dismissed from the Command of a Naval Storeship, was placed in the Command of that Ship, by Sir Pulteney Malcolm. I have already explained the whole matter verbally to Count Balmain. I have no doubt that Mr Harrington in passing by this Island built upon the existence of some kind of opposition to me here, either on the part of the Admiral or Count Balmain. It is difficult otherwise to account for the peculiar style of his Letters to the latter person. Captain Harrington is a particular acquaintance of General Beatson, by whose advice the wheel machinery of a Mill, of a very expensive kind, was sent out here and he has been very anxious it should be erected. This may account for the reference which will be found in an accompanying Letter to this matter. Sir P Malcolm, General Beatson and Mr Boys it is well known here, have of late formed a kind of Council in England to Mr Parry of the direction, to whose judgment all the affairs of this Island are delegated. I have referred in some cases to the opinion of Colonel Wilks, but it does not appear they can consult to him. How much he was deserving of being consulted cannot however better appear than by the annexed Extract from a Memorandum given by him to Sir George Cockburn. (Signed) H Lowe The Earl Bathurst K G &c &c &c ---- Second letter dated 10 February 1820 from Sir Hudson Lowe to Earl Bathurst St Helena 10th February 1820 My Lord I have transmitted to Your Lordship by this Occasion the Concluding Papers of my discussion with Rear Admiral Plampin, the first parts of which were forwarded with my letter of 27th January by the Sappho. It became necessary for me, in reply to the Admiral’s suggestions, to advert to those Causes which rendered it necessary in any Case for Strange Ships to touch here, and hence the detail in which I entered in my Reply to his last Paper. On my first arrival here Sir George Cockburn usually caused all Vessels which were in want of Water to be Supplied under Sail, either by the Cruizer or the Flag Ship. This arrangement rendered it unnecessary to have any communication with the Shore, and gave me perfect satisfaction. On Sir Pulteney Malcolm’s arrival he proposed the Vessels in Want of Supplies of any kind should anchor at Lemon Valley; this led to a short Correspondence, the details of which have already been sent. I objected in general, and left him to judge of those Cases of Actual Necessity which require that a Ship should anchor, suggesting the precautions in such cases to be taken. This arrangement continued for some time, when Admiral Plampin, conceiving delay to arise from sending Ships to Lemon Valley, proposed that they should be brought to Anchor in the Roads of James Town. After some discussion on the subject, I assented to Vessels anchoring if under the charge of the Flag Ship where they might receive their supply more quickly by it; but excepted against Vessels direct from the Cape, or Foreign Ships, proposing they should be sent as heretofore, when their wants could not be supplied under Sail, to Lemon Valley. I wished these Circumstances to be present to the Admiral’s recollection in delivering my reply to him. He received my Paper in a very Conciliatory manner, and I believe has given orders in strong support of my desires. What most struck me in the Admiral’s letters, as well as in the last paper he presented to me, is the different Style to any of his former communications. I have the certain knowledge, however, that an active spirit has been at work to excite him, & to make the Navy in general discontented at the Regulations in force on this Island, as affecting their Authority. A remarkable observation escaped from the Admiral himself at my last Conference with him when, on perusing the Copy of a Letter I had taken with me from Mr Harrington to Count Balmain wherein he said that the Heroine was to call off this Island for the purpose of “bringing and receiving letters” and that if Count Balmain desired to see him “he had no doubt the Admiral would allow the Windward Cruizer to bring him in”, he said “Mr Harrington knows the Contrary, for Mr Elliott (the Admiral’s Secretary) wrote to him that it was not giving up any part of my powers or authority not to give permission to Vessels to come here; that I could read the Act of Parliament as well as himself.” The Navy in general I fear at the same time are too apt to Consider my situation here purely as a Military one; the Admiral in his Conversation with me was however more candid; he said his paper stated his view of the subject as a Naval man, mine naturally as a Military one; I told him also in my Civil & political situation, to the justice of which he immediately and readily assented. Captain Nicholls having applied to me for permission to return to England on his private affairs, I have granted him leave of absence accordingly, & he proceeds by this opportunity. He has conducted himself in a very satisfactory manner to me in the discharge of his duties during eighteen months as Orderly Officer at Longwood. He is relieved on that situation by Captn Lutyens of the 20th Regt of Foot.

Thos. T. Harrington, from Singapore. ---- Guthrie & Company Guthrie & Company was established in 1821 by Alexander Guthrie as a trading branch of Thomas Talbot Harrington and Company. It rose to become one of the leading agency houses in Singapore during the 19th and 20th century. First located in a rented godown at Hill Street, the company sold British goods to the European and Chinese quarters of Singapore. The business was later expanded to include services in transshipment, cargo storage, insurance, and local forwarding. … Early Beginnings Alexander Guthrie, a Scot, first arrived from the Cape of the Good Hope to Singapore in 1821 to set up a trading branch of Thomas Talbot Harrington and Company. He obtained his indenture to trade in Singapore from the Marquis of Hastings, Governor-General of India on 10 April 1820, and was the sixth indentured trader to establish himself in Singapore. With the help of Alexander Laurie Johnston and William Farquhar, Guthrie rented a godown at Hill Street where he began his sale of British goods such as woollen cloth, cotton twist, nails, axes, knives, clocks, stationery, brandy and sherry to the Chinese and European quarters of Singapore town. Following the practice of A. L. Johnston, Guthrie carried out his trade through Chinese middlemen. When the godown was sold off by its owner, Guthrie obtained Farquhar's help to secure a plot of land at High Street where he built his second godown. Guthrie lost his second godown when the layout of Singapore town was reorganised upon Raffles' return. Undeterred, he leased a patch of swamp from the government in the Boat Quay area where he built his third godown. Business took off and the establishment of Messrs Harrington and Guthrie was formally announced on 1 February 1823. The partnership between Guthrie and Harrington came to an end on 8 November 1823. In February 1824, Guthrie entered into a new partnership with James Scott Clark and the company was renamed Messrs Guthrie and Clark. Clark left the firm in 1833. … The Asiatic Journal and Monthly Register for British India and its Dependencies Home Intelligence India shipping Passengers from India [February 1827] Per Jessie, from the Cape: ...

Current research on John Luther, early immigrant to Taunton who was killed in 1644. His origins may have been in Bridport, Dorset, England. Supplements earlier research on this man. The text below represents the "article style" research done by [[Luther-1953|Larry Luther]], wikitree member and descendant of John Luther. The attached pdf is the article in it's original format as written by Mr. Luther. ---- ==Biography== This profile is part of the Luther Name Study. The life and descendants of Captain John Luther have been extensively studied.[[#1|¹]] He was probably born between 1596 and 1616[[#2|²]] in Dorset County, England.[[#3|³]] His actual last name may have been originally Luter, although he seems to have used the name Luther.[[#4|⁴]] He was a seaman, who just before the end of his life served as a master (captain) of a bark or pinnace in Massachusetts.[[#5|⁵]] Although we do not know When Captain John Luther first came to New England, he likely emigrated from England to Massachusetts between 1630 and 1638.[[#6|⁶]] He married a woman called Elizabeth,[[#2|²]] whose maiden name is not known. There are no marriage records or other probative evidence in New England as to where or when that happened. ''*Supplemental note: The profile of the wife of this [[Luther-114|John Luther]], [[Unknown-481820|Elizabeth Unknown]] contains information presenting the idea that she may have been Elizabeth Addams, daughter of Henry, born about 1603 in Abbotsbury about 10 miles from Bridport.'' In 1638, John Luther was one of the 46 initial land owners and residents ("the ancient purchasers") of Taunton, Massachusetts, who acquired parcels within a tract of land sold by Great Chief Massasoit Ousamequin of the Pokanoket Indian Tribe.[[#8|⁸]] The location and size of his Taunton property is in question.[[#91|⁹]] In 1643, Luther was not listed as a male in Taunton subject to military duty, indicating he no longer lived there.[[#10|¹⁰]] Between 1639 and 1642, Luther probably acquired a parcel of land along the harbor front in Gloucester, Massachusetts.[[#11|¹¹]] This land was sold to John Collins, likely in 1642, but same was recorded in the land records in 1649.[[#12|¹²]] On March 7, 1644, the General Court of Massachusetts granted seven Boston businessmen the right to establish a company of adventurers to engage in trading, presumably including furs.[[#13|¹³]] In the fall of 1844, Luther served as the Master (Captain) of a bark or pinnace employed by that Boston company in fur trading in Delaware Bay. There are two accounts of his death on this trip, both of which appear in Volume II of Winthrop’s Journal.[[#14|¹⁴]] The first account in 1644[[#15|¹⁵]] appears at page 204, as follows: :"A bark was sent out from Boston with seven men to trade at Delaware. They staid in the river near the English plantation all winter, and in the spring they fell down, and traded three weeks, and had gotten five hundred skins, and some otter, etc., and being ready to come away, fifteen Indians came aboard, as if they would trade again, and suddenly they drew forth hatchets from under their coats, and killed the master and three others, and rifled the bark, and carried away a boy, and another man, who was the interpreter; and when they came on shore, they gave him forty skins, and twenty fathom of wampom, and other things, and kept them till about six weeks after. The Swedish governor procured another sachem to fetch them to him, who sent them to New Haven by a bark of that place, and so they were brought to Boston (5) 14, 45, (July 14, 1645) the man as a prisoner." The second account in 1645 appears at page 236: :"The merchants of Boston sent a pinnace the last winter to trade in Delaware Bay. She traded upon Maryland side, and had gotten a good parcel of beaver; at last the Indians came aboard, and while the English (who were about five and a boy) were trading with some of them, others drew out hatchets from under their coats, and killed the master and three others, and took the other and the boy, and carried them on shore, and rifled the pinnace of all her goods and sails, etc. Soon after, other Indians came upon these and slew the sachem, and took away all their goods they had stolen. There was one Redman suspected to have betrayed their pinnace, for he being linkister (because he could speak the language) and being put out of that employment for his evil carriage, did bear ill will to the master, and the Indians spared him, and gave him a good part of the spoil, and he lived among them five or six weeks, till the Swedish governor procured other Indians to go fetch him and the boy to his fort, from whence they were brought to Boston, and the said Redman was tried for his life, and being found guilty by the grand jury, was deferred his farther trial in expectation of more evidence to come from Delaware." The two versions are very similar in substance and detail, but there are minor variations. Where they are in conflict, the second version might be preferred, being later in time and containing details of the interpreter (Redman) who was charged with murder and the disposition of his case, which was not included in the first version. The voyage apparently began in the fall of 1644, Captain Luther and crew (including young son Samuel) spent the winter in Delaware Bay and he was killed by Indians there in the spring of 1645.[[#16|¹⁶]] On or about May 6, 1646, Elizabeth Luter, widow of Captain John Luther/Luter filed a petition with the General Court of Massachusetts claiming payment of the wages owing her late husband by his employers for his ill fated trip to Delaware Bay.[[#17|¹⁷]] On May 22 1646, the General Court decreed that the Widow Luther should have the balance of her husband's wages according to sea custom and justice, after the merchants had been reimbursed for expenses incurred in redeeming her son [[Luther-3|Samuel Luther]][[#18|¹⁸]] from the Indians who had custody of him.[[#19|¹⁹]] ===Children=== John Luther (by wife Elizabeth) had only two known children: #[[Luther-3|Samuel]], born about 1636[[#20|²⁰]] #[[Luther-118|Hezekiah]], born about 1639 to 1640[[#21|²¹]] Note: This biography does not incorporate the [[Space:New Research on Captain John Luther/Luter|New Research on Captain John Luther/Luter]] from 2020 about the possible origins of Captain John Luther, as represented by John Luter Jr., his wife Elizabeth Addams, their son Samuel/Samuell and other children, who were from Bridport, Dorset, England, which research was submitted to Wikitree by Larry Luther in 2020, particulars of which appear in this profile. A previous version of this profile, citing only online trees, claimed additional children for whom there is no evidence; they are being detached: * [[Luther-330|John Luther]] - this was the son of a [[Luther-1771|John Luther]] and Joan Mott who remained in Stanford Rivers, Essex, England. * [[Luther-329|Elizabeth Luther]] who married Francis Weeks.[[#22|²²]] * [[Luther-326|Dorothy Luther]] - this was the daughter of a [[Luther-1771|John Luther]] and Joan Mott who remained in Stanford Rivers, Essex, England. * [[Luther-325|Alice Luther]] - this was the daughter of a [[Luther-1771|John Luther]] and Joan Mott who remained in Stanford Rivers, Essex, England. * [[Luther-328|Nathaniel Luther]] * [[Luther-327|another John Luther]] * [[Luther-324|Richard Luther]] - this was the son of a [[Luther-1771|John Luther]] and Joan Mott who remained in Stanford Rivers, Essex, England. * [[Luther-323|William Luther]] * [[Luther-336|James Luther]] ==Sources and Footnotes== 1) Genealogical research on Capt. John Luther is known to have began by Sylvester Marble Luther in 1864 and has been carried on by his successor genealogists and family members until the present time. The Luther Family Association (“LFA”) was formed in 1937 and continues today to continue the research and compilation of the descendants of Captain John Luther and to study his origins and life. The most extensive genealogical source about Captain John Luther and his descendants is ”The Luther Genealogy, A History of the Descendants of CAPTAIN JOHN LUTHER Who Arrived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony 1630 – 1635” (the “Luther Family Genealogy”), edited and compiled by George A. Luther and published under the patronage of LFA in 2001. There were predecessor versions of this publication published in 1955 and 1976, both written and compiled by Leslie L. Luther, under the patronage of LFA. 2) This is an estimated range of his birthdate, based on Luther being between 20 & 40 years old on the est’d. birthdate of his son Samuel. The best evidence in Massachusetts of Samuel’s birthdate is his grave stone in Kickemuitt Cemetery, Serpentine Road, Warren, Rhode Island, which contains the following inscription: “HERE LYETH Ye BODY OF ELDER SAMUELL LUTHER, AGED ABOUT 80 YEARS, & DIED DECEMBER Ye 20th 1716.” This indicates that Samuell Luther was born about 1636. The Luther Family Genealogy indicates on page 30 that the birth date of Captain John Luther is circa 1595 to 1605, presumably an estimated birthdate range. 3) The Luther Family Genealogy also indicates on page 30 that “It was the final conclusion of both Joseph Gardner (JGL) and Sylvester Marble Luther (SML) (two prominent Luther Family Genealogists) that Capt. John Luther came from Dorset. On pages 30 & 31 thereof, the reasons for Luther potentially having origins in Dorset are set out, namely the presence of Dorset residents in the Great Puritan Migration from England to New England, including the Dorchester (Dorset) Company and the followers of Elizabeth Pole/Poole, the presence in Dorset of families with the name Luther, its proximity to the sea & the influence of the charismatic Rev. John White of Dorchester, Dorset, who encouraged many Dorset people to emigrate to New England. This supposition in the Luther Family Genealogy, while having some logic and merit, is not based on any parish, governmental, land or other documents or records directly pertaining to Captain John found by George A. Luther or his predecessor LFA genealogists. In the summary table for Captain John on page 30 of the Luther Family Genealogy, the place of birth of Captain John Luther is stated to be “prob. (probably) Great Canford, Dorsetshire, England c. 1595/1605”. The mention of Great Canford as a probable place of birth is seemingly in large part based on a letter received by Lt. John Turner Luther (a great grandson of Capt. John Luther) dated February 11 1726 from one John Luthear/ Lothear from Great Canford, (set out & discussed in Luther Family Genealogy at page 25). He claimed “a large estate fallen to me” presumably in New England of which had apparently heard. He said that “I think I may make bowl to call you kin- though unnone” (unknown). This potential inheritance in fact did not seem to have existed and the original of the letter appears to have been lost. Since the letter writer says he is some 80 years old, he would have been born about 1746, shortly after Capt. John’s death. There has been no evidence found of Luthers in Great Canford in the life time of Captain John Luther/Luter or earlier or of Luters there at all up to 1700. Parish records are unavailable for Great Canford prior to 1656. This letter alone hardly seems to be enough to conclude that Capt. John was from Great Canford, absent other compelling evidence. But it does support parish records that there were Luthers/Luthears/Lothears ) living in Great Canford and in Dorset after the death of Captain John. Parish and other records also verify that there were several Luthers living in Corfe Castle, Dorset after the death of Captain John Luther. 4) Massachusetts Archives Collection, 1629 – 1799, vol. 30, p.22 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9Y5-XKBS?i=960&cat=1055547) contains a Petition dated May 22 1646 to the General Court of Massachusetts (the “Elizabeth Luter Petititon”), whereunder one Elizabeth Luter claimed compensation arising from the murder by Indians while fur trading in Delaware Bay of her husband, who has been identified by historians and New England records as Captain John Luther/Luter, The fact that this legal document showed her last name as Luter in two places, indicates that this was her legal last name & that of her husband. It is probable that they adopted the last name Luther, as that appears in most historical references to Captain John, and his sons used the last name Luther. 5) Winthrop’s Journal 1630-1649, edited by James Kendall Hosmer and published by Charles Scribner’s Sons in 1908 at pages 210-11 & 246-7 (“Winthrop’s Journal”) mentions the murder by Indians in 1645 of a master and the kidnapping of his son by Indians while fur trading in Delaware Bay. According to the Elizabeth Luter Petition, the master was her husband Captain John Luther/Luter.. 6) See footnotes 8 & 9 for the first mentions of John Luther’s presence in Massachusetts. 7) See Elizabeth Luter Petition in foregoing footnote 4. 8) Samuel Hopkins Emery, “History of Taunton, Massachusetts”, published by D. Mason & Co. 1893, pages 28-30 & 62. (information obtained by the author from a document setting out the first purchasers presented to a town meeting in 1680 and transcribed by John Wilborne, Proprietors’ Clerk, Town of Taunton). Also see Francis Baylies, “An Historical Memoir of the Colony of New Plymouth”, published by Wiggin & Luant, Boston, 1866, Volume 1, page 286, showing John Luther as one of the first proprietors holding 6 of 424 shares of the parcel of land Also see page 279 being a 1675 list in the Taunton town-book of the proprietors of the Town of Taunton indicating that certain land was owned by James Walker on his own rights, on that which was Mr. John Browne’s and on the rights that was John Luther’s, meaning John Luther was the first owner of the property. 9) Luther Family Genealogy, p 31: “The records show that Capt. John Luther was a member of her (Elizabeth Pole/Poole’s) company, 27th on the list of 46 purchasers, that he paid his part, and was assigned 6 shares. The total purchase was about 640 acres, and by totaling the number of shares recorded in 1639 it appears his purchase consisted of slightly over 9 acres.” This calculation does seem to be mathematically correct and is consistent with the findings of Baylies, see footnote 8 above. The Luther Family Association Newsletter (“LFA Newsletter”), Number 95 dated August 2010 at pages 5 to 8 contains an article entitled “Captain John’s Property”. As a result of a visit by LFA Genealogist George A. Luther and his wife to Taunton’s Old Colonial Historical Society (“OCHS”) in 2006, an examination of maps at OCHS led George A. Luther and his wife led to conclude that a 9 acre plot on the Three Mile River near where it joins the Taunton River was likely John Luther’s Taunton property. But some time later, when George A. Luther visited Taunton, the director of the OCHS presented him with a map and letter with “a clearly drawn plot sketched in and labeled “John Luther’s Taunton property, 1637-1642”. This plot appeared to be of about 1,400’ frontage on the west bank of the Taunton River and 654’ deep which would equal 21 acres. We feel that this map, apparently the result of research by Old Colony, combined with the fact that the Taunton is much wider than the Three Mile River prompts us to accept the OCHS specification as the best.” (foregoing quotation at p. 8). This may well be the location of the Luther Taunton property, but there is no indication in this article of the source of the latter map and identification of Luther’s property. Also, the 21 acre area is inconsistent with the calculation set out in the first paragraph of this footnote. Samuel Hopkins Emery, “History of Taunton, Massachusetts” at p. 31 also indicates that the initial land owners held from six to twelve shares and that there was a total of 424 shares. 10) Francis Baylies, “An Historical Memoir of the Colony of New Plymouth”, Volume I, p.267 11) James R. Pringle, “History of the Town and City of Gloucester, Cape Ann, Massachusetts”, published by the author 1869, p. 37:”Settlers named Ashley…Luther and several others lived along the harbor front. These were here before 1642 and may have been members of Mr. Thompson’s company.“ Note that Mr. Luther’s first name is not specified. Also see pp. 23-24 for more information about Thomson’s fish plantation. Although Mr. Pringle extensively researched the history of Gloucester, the source of his information about John Luther is unclear.. 12) Luther Family Genealogy, p. 32: “John Luther sold his property to one John Collins probably about 1642, title to which was not recorded until 1649 thus giving the impression that he was alive at that time. The record is as follows: “John Collins 4Ackers of upland bought of Will Browne and John Luther together with 3 Ackers given by the Town Running from his house to the harbour…high water mark northerlie unto the north-east end of … swampe at the head of the Lotts.(First volume of Gloucester records, p. 24, personally copied 10 Aug 1931 by CFL)” Note CFL is LFA Genealogist Clair Franklin Luther. See also, History of Taunton, Massachusetts (footnote 8), p. 47: “JOHN LUTHER is mentioned once as disposing of land in the harbor to John Collins in 1649” See also p. 42: “JOHN COLLINS was in Salem in 1643, but came to Gloucester a short time afterwards, taking up his residence near the harbor.”. 13) Records of the Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay in New England, Vol. II, printed by order of the Legislature, edited by Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, M.D., published by the press of William White, printer to the Commonwealth, 1853, p. 60 14) John Winthrop, Esq., “The History of New England from 1630 to1649”, transcription and notes by James Savage, member of The Massachusetts Historical Society, published by Thomas B. Wait and Son in 1826. Winthrop’s Journals, the journals of The Governor of the Colony of the Massachusetts Bay, is one of the prime sources of early New England history. Volume I & III are in the possession of the Massachusetts Historical Society. Their librarian James Savage was permitted to review the original journals for his transcription, when unfortunately Volume II was destroyed by a fire at his office.in 1825. As a result, Savage’s transcription of Volume II is the only available text of same. 15) There is confusion about the timing of this account, since it occurred in Winthrop’s 1644 Journal, yet it refers to the interpreter (Redman) having been brought to Boston at a later date in 1645. In a foot note to this paragraph, Savage observes that in the margin of the original document which he examined was written “Luter killed by Indians” and a pen has been drawn twice across the paragraph and “See after 35” is added. This has been interpreted as a reference to the later 1645 Winthrop description of the Luther/Luter murder. Either Winthrop or someone having examined the manuscript prior to 1825 identified the master as having the last name “Luter”. 16) If Captain Luther’s death occurred in the spring prior to March 27, 1645, under our current Gregorian calendar, it would have been still 1644 under the Julian calendar, which was in effect in England at that time. 17) Massachusetts Archives Collection, 1629 – 1799, vol. 30, p.22 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9Y5-XKBS?i=960&cat=1055547) 18) The son who accompanied Capt. Luther was very likely their eldest son in Massachusetts, Samuel, estimated to be about seven or eight years old when he went with his father on his last voyage, rather than their youngest son Hezekiah, who would have been about four or five years old. 19) Records of the Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay in New England, Vol. II, p. 160 (see footnote 13). Note this record of the decree shows the widow’s last name as Luther, rather than Luter, which she used in the Elizabeth Luter Petition. 20) The Luther Family Association has never been able to identify with certainty the date or place of birth of Samuel Luther. The 1971 edition of their Luther Family Publication shows his birthdate as “MA 1636” (at page 38). This book, at page 71, has the following commentary: “Samuel Luther (#2), the elder son of Capt. John, was born according to an invariable tradition at Yocumtown (Representative Men and Old Families of Rhode Island, Vol 1 (sic), p. 1001). No locality of this designation is known in Colonial history. The settlements were so few in 1636 and so well marked that this designation might be regarded as fictitious. However, one correspondent claims to have found evidence that this was an early Indian name for Taunton.” Having examined the source publication cited, published in 1908, the birth year cited stated therein (actually in Volume II) is 1638, not 1636, as indicated by the LFA History Book. In New England Families - Genealogical and Memorial, published 1915, Vol 2, p. 630 Samuel is also said to have been born in Yocumtown, about 1636-1637. None of the three above publications could assign an exact date to Samuel’s birth. As a result, one can only conclude that they are estimating his year of birth. Neither of the last two publications describes Samuel’s place of birth as an ”invariable tradition”. The best evidence in Massachusetts of Samuel’s birthdate is his grave stone in Kickemuitt Cemetery, which contains the following inscription: “HERE LYETH Ye BODY OF ELDER SAMUELL LUTHER, AGED ABOUT 80 YEARS, & DIED DECEMBER Ye 20th 1716.” The gravestone wording indicates that the exact birth date of Samuel was unknown, but would be estimated to be 1636. 21) There are no known official records of Hezekiah Luther's birth, but by Luther Family Association tradition he is thought to have been born in 1639 or 1640 1639 in Boston Massachusetts (as per Luther Family Publication, page 82). Some have thought that he could have been born in Taunton, Mass., where his father Capt. John purchased real property in about 1638 as one of the first founders of the town. Captain John only owned this property for a short time, but it was around the time Hezekiah was likely born. However, Captain John also lived in Gloucester Mass. before 1642, so it is possible that Hezekiah could have been born there. 22) It has been suggested that Captain John’s wife Elizabeth Luter/Luther remarried Francis Weeks/Weekes after her husband’s death, but no proof of that occurrence has been established.

==Captain John Norwood's Ancestry== Many presentations of the ancestry of Captain John Norwood of Maryland reach back to Jordanus of Sheppey, and some beyond. How they arrive at this, and the degree of documentation involved, varies. This free-space profile is intended to look at several lines from published or self-published genealogies and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. ===Captain John Norwood's Parents and Grandparents=== Several factors prevent knowing an ancestry of [[Norwood-92|Captain John Norwood]], despite his prominence and apparent genteel background. ====Birth and Parents==== Mike Marshall shows John Norwood, the immigrant, born about 1612 in Leckhampton, England and likely the son of Richard Norwood.

So the question arises then as to why a John Norwood would have been born there. *In the early 12th century Pain de Wykeham, son of Osbern or Osbert, granted his house to Wykeham Priory; *Theobald, Pain's son, gave the nuns 48 acres of land here, while 'the younger King Henry, eldest son of Henry II, granted them 103 acres in Wykeham and the seat of the mill 'in Raddak or Radal.' *The priory held the manor of Wykeham until the Dissolution, after which, in 1544, the site and grange (1½ miles north) were granted to the king's servant Francis Poole. *Francis in the same year alienated the manor to Richard Hutchinson, his heirs and Helen his wife. *Richard died seised of the rectory and demesnes in March 1559–60. *His son and heir Edward, who obtained a grant of arms in 1581, died seised of the site, grange, rectory, advowson and a capital messuage called Leake Close in February 1585–6, leaving a son and heir Stephen. *Stephen died in 1648; in his will he disinherited his son Edward, who was a colonel in the royal army, 'as I conceive he hath beene disaffected to ye state, and thereby hath incurred my displeasure,' in favour of his infant grandson Edward. The Royalist compounded with the Parliament in 1649 and died in 1653. *His son Edward made settlements of the manor, site and rectory early in 1665–6 and in 1691. Richard Hutchinson was dealing with property here in 1706. ====Birth and Parentage==== Robert W. Barnes Robert W. Barnes, British Roots of Maryland Families, Vol 1, p. 228 notes a John Norwood, grocer, of All Hallows Bread Street, London, still there in 1646, whose children baptized there include an Anne (bp 1638) and Tyringham (bp 1641). This John is very probably the 4th son of Tyringham and Anne (named without further detail in MGH, 4th ser., 3 [1910]:175-176) and might have immigrated to Maryland, but very possibly not. Gary Boyd Roberts, Ancestors of American Presidents, 2009 Edition. Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2009. p. 330-1 1605: Birth at Wykeham Abbey.

Marilyn Roth, MD Genealogy Forum #17070, Aug 27 2010 http://genforum.genealogy.com/md/messages/17070.html Harry Wright Newman To Maryland From Overseas, 1982, p. 130 addressing John Norwood, born 1603-5 and died post 1662, VA (?) and Anne Arundel Co, MD; states that English research commissioned by a Norwood descendant in 1961 established that this John Norwood was born in Wykeham, Spalding, Lincolnshire, son of tyringham Norwood (c. 1576-1629) and Anne Boteler. MGH, 4th ser., 3 (1910) 175-76 as kindly brought to my attention by the Rev. Paul K. Thomas of Baltimore, lists a John as the 4th son of Tyringham and Anne, with readily traceable gentry ancestry and royal descents (see also BRMF1, pp. 335-338, and BRMF2, p. 91, which also acknowledge the MGH pedigree, compiled by Everard Green (rouge Dragon [an English herald] in 1908.

Marshall shows Richard and Elizabeth with the following children: #John Norwood was born ABT 1612 in Leckhampton, England, and died 19 JUN 1672 in Anne Arundel. He married Anne Harrington ABT 1633 in Anne Arundel. She was born ABT 1611 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, and died 28 NOV 1674 in Anne Arundel. #William N. Norwood - "The Immigrant" was born ABT 1616 in Leckhampton Court, Gloucestershire, Cheltanham, England, and died 16 JAN 1702/03 in VA -. He married Lydia Jordan ABT 1660 in Virginia. She was born ABT 1641, and died ABT 1707 in VA. [[Norwood-92|John Norwood, b. abt 1605]], who immigrated to Maryland and became Sheriff of Anne Arundel County, may be the son of [[Norwood-94|Richard Norwood, wife unknown]] or [[Norwood-843|Tyringham Norwood]], but '''cannot be the John who is the son of [[Norwood-31|Richard Norwood who married Elizabeth Steward]] because Richard's John died in 1648, while the John who became Sheriff of Anne Arundel County lived considerably longer than that.''' Therefore [[Norwood-92|John Norwood]] is disconnected from the profile of [[Norwood-31|Richard Norwood]]. John Norwood is described by John Bennett Boddie as "a nephew of Edward Bennett's wife, who moved from Lower Norfolk to Anne Arundel County, Maryland. He was Sheriff of Anne Arundel in 1662... John Bennett Boddie, "Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight" ====Marriage==== Marshall states that about 1633 in England John Norwood married Anne Harrington. She was born about 1616 in England and died 28 Nov 1674 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland - Inventory (Age ~ 58 years) Following John's death, Anne married James Boyd. ====1643 Lower Norfolk County, Virginia==== 1643 -- John Norwood accompanied Sir Francis Wyatt to Virginia. Settled in Nansemond County on Glebe lands. Debbie Krause, Ancestry.com, "Debbie Franklin Family" File 2218842 . Since Sir Francis Wyatt returned to England in 1642, but the process of recording land was slow, the 1643 date should be seen as the date the land was recorded, and John Norwood's arrival in Virginia earlier, assuming he accompanied Sir Francis Wyatt. 1645 Arrived in Lower Norfolk Co, VA some time before Aug 15, 1645 when a certif of land was granted Mr. Math: Phillips on behalf of Henry Seawell, an orphant, for the transportation of 20 persons, among them John Norwood. New Eng. Hist. Gen Reg. Vol 47, f. 64 cited by Maxwell Dorsey and Jan Muir Dorsey, The Dorsey Family, Baltimore: Clearfield Publ, p. 202 It may be assumed that John Norwood's wife Ann arrived either with John or soon after his arrival in Virginia in 1643, since when he later moved to Maryland, he received land for transporting a wife and two sons. ====1648 Elizabeth River Church==== 10 Aug 1648, as Church warden of the Elizabeth River Church (whose members were influenced by Puritanism and became non-Conformists), John Norwood was "ordered to render an account of the Glebe lands since Parson Harrison had deserted his ministerial office and refused to administer the sacraments of the Church of England." Among those who were dissatisfied and refused to attend were John Norwood, Richard Owings, and Thomas Marsh. Maxwell Dorsey and Jan Muir Dorsey, The Dorsey Family, Baltimore: Clearfield Publ, p. 202 ====1649 Move to Maryland==== 1649 from Virginia to Maryland. Captain John Norwood was one of the group of about a hundred Puritan non-conformists who left Virginia and came to Anne Arundel County. He received a land grant of 230 acres called '''Norwood Cliffs''' on the lower Calvert Cliffs, situated on the Severn River above Annapolis. He settled near Howards and Dorseys near present-day Annapolis. The lands of Captain John Norwood at his seat in Anne Arundel County adjoined Edward Dorsey's Hockley-in-the-Hole. Other land grants of Captain Norwood were '''Norwood's Fancy''', 400 acres, and '''The Intake''', 100 acres, both situated on the south side of the Severn River. The progenitor of the Norwoods in Maryland, Captain John Norwood arrived in Maryland in 1649 from Virginia with a group of Puritans who refused to submit to the pressure of Gov. William Berkeley to use theAnglican Book of Common Prayer in their church services. The group had obtained permission to relocate to Maryland from the Catholic Lord Baltimore,who was seeking to retain control of his colony in the face of the rise of Cromwell in England. These Puritans settled on the banks of the Severn River, in a settlement first called Providence, then Arundeltown, and eventually Annapolis.

Gust Skordas, Early Settlers of MD, from land records. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co, 1968. p. 338 Skordas names other Norwood immigrants who obtained land: Arthur, Charles, another John, Robert, and William. ====1650-1651 Lands in Maryland==== In 1650, John Norwood received a warrant for 200 acres on the south side of the Severn River. He later purchased property on the Bay in Herring Creek Hundred (south county). 1650 Captain Norwood and Edward Dorsey, gentleman, took up lands together on the Severn River. Edward Dorsey's land is Hockley on south shore of the Severn River. 1650 John Norwood demands 600a for transporting self, wife and two children (John and Andrew) and two servants (John Hays and Elizabeth Hills). Observation. Since only John and Andrew are mentioned in 1650, it may be presumed that they were born in England or Virginia, while the other children were born later. 1651, 27 October, 200a in Calvert Co called Norwood surveyed for John Norwood adjoining land of Thomas Mears, "its southernmost boundary extending to the tract later known as Theobush Manning owned by Edward Dorsey and Thomas Manning. This land, which was due John Norwood for transporting himself and wife into the province, was patented Aug 3, 1658. Patents Q, f. 78, Dorsey Family, p. 202 ====1650-1662 High Sheriff of Anne Arundel County==== Captain John Norwood became the first High Sheriff of Anne Arundel County, and received lands (later patented as "Norwood") adjacent to Norwood's Creek (now called "Weems Creek") and featuring Norwood's Point (now called "Horseshoe Point") in what is now the Wardour section of Annapolis. Anne Arundel County's First Sheriff, John Norwood came to Maryland from Virginia in 1649 with three hundred religious "Independents". They settled near the Severn River in what is now Annapolis. Lord Baltimore appointed William Stone as Governor and Edward Lloyd as Commander of Anne Arundel County. Lloyd had the authority to appoint the sheriff and other offices in the county. Although state law called for yearly selection of sheriff, the same person was often re-appointed as was John Norwood who served from 1650 to 1662. County Connections, Anne Arundel County Government. http://www.aacounty.org/Sheriff/History.cfm#.VJCVrivF98E In England, the King appointed the Sheriff. He was known as the "King's man." In Maryland, the first Sheriff (1634) was the direct representative of the Lord Proprietor. His duties were to collect taxes, to maintain law and order, and to serve as Clerk of the Court. John Norwood, the first Sheriff of Anne Arundel County (1650), was paid in pounds of tobacco. He received ten pounds for serving any Writ, five for taking a bond, ten for imprisoning or releasing, twenty per day for tending a prisoner and ten for collecting public fees. There was some financial risk in holding the office of Sheriff. He collected fees and fines in pounds of tobacco and had to be wealthy enough to pay the fines for others up front. If the crops were successfully harvested of course, he expected to be repaid with interest. The sheriff took an oath similar to that in England. He promised to treat the rich and the poor "right" and serve lawfully and faithfully. He had many duties. As a court official he was responsible for organizing a smoothly run court. He impaneled the juries and was then responsible for carrying out judgments and sentences including arresting, taking into custody or whipping criminals, serving summons and executions, collecting fees, giving warnings, and building prisons, stocks and pillories. He would also collect fines, give rewards, and serve writs. ====1655 Battle of the Severn==== He received his title "Captain" in the Battle of the Severn in March, 1655. The Anglican forces of Gov. William Stone attempted to reestablish control over the Puritan areas of Maryland, but were defeated by the well organized Puritans. Captain John Norwood, as High Sheriff, took control of the captured prisoners. 26 Dec 1655 fought in Battle of the Severn in which Puritans routed the army of Gov. William Stone. Prisoners, including Governor William Stone were entrusted to his care. A court later ordered the prisoners to pay for their care while in custody: "Mr John Norwood, sheriff of Providence, hath petitioned this Court that, whereas, Willam Evans, Thomas Trueman, Captain William Stone, Mr. Job Chandler, Edward Packer, George Thompson, Robert Clarke, Henry Williams and John Casey owe him for charges and fees due to him from said persons when they were prisoners upon the last rebellion of Captain William Stone (as the said sheriff hath deposted in Cort) it is ordered that, if said persons shall not satisfy the several sums to said John Norwood, the sheriff of these counties shall seize by distress, etc..." Record in Maryland Archives 1657 demands additional land for transporting other servants. ====1658 Property==== In 1658 John Norwood, Developer/Owner, owned 200 acres called '''Norwood'''. Certificate, Patent Record AB and H, p. 264 -- MSA S 1583-1149 and Patent, Patent Record Q, p 78 0 0 MSA S 1583-1150. Calvert County Circuit Court, Land Surveys and Condominium Plats.

Colonial. ====1661 Commander of Militia==== 1661 Captain John Norwood of the Severn receives commission to command all the forces from the head of the river to the south side of the Patapsco. J. D. Warfield, Founders of Anne Arundel and Howard Counties. In 1661, he was commissioned Captain in the State Militia. Norwood had command of all the forces from the head of the Severn on the north side to the south side of the Patapsco. ====1663 Justice of the Peace==== In 1663, Captain John Norwood, Gentleman, was made a justice of the peace of Anne Arundel County. ====1662 Horringtron/Harrington Connection==== 1662 John Norwood demands land for transporting John Horrington into the province and assigns same to Susanna Howard, for the use of her son Charles Stephens, son of Charles Stephens, deceased. Susannah was John Norwood's daughter, who first married Charles Stephens, by then deceased, and the married Howard. One may surmise that John Horrington was kin to John Norwood's wife Anne Harrington. In 1662 John Norwood of Anne Arundel Co. sponsored transportation to Maryland of John 'Horrington' -- almost certainly not the John Harrington of Wykeham in Spalding (son of a baronet and husband of Frances Norwood, d. 1632, sister of John and daughter of Tyringham and Anne -- see Rev. A. R. Maddison, ed., Lincolnshire Pedigrees, vol. 2 [HSPVS, vol 51, 1903], p. 463), but possibly a kinsman. This Horrington/Harrington sponsored transportation seems to be the only basis for the identification of the 4th son of Tyringham and Anne (Boteler) Norwood with the immigrant to Maryland. ====1672 Death==== John Norwood died 28 Nov 1674 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland - Inventory John died intestate [testamentary proceedings, 5:290, 19 June 1672]. John NORWOOD died in 1672, having married Anne, who m2. James BOYD & died 1674. 1672 Norwood died intestate, survived by his widow Ann and by seven children. Widow Ann married James Boyd.

The later date solves the issue of Susannah's parentage, but raises questions regarding the dates of her marriages, leaving the issue unresolved as of Dec 16, 2014. #[[Norwood-855|Andrew Norwood]], b. 1634, d. 7 Mar 1701/02, Anne Arundel County, Maryland - Probate (Age 68 years) Named recipient of land grant in 1650 Andrew Norwood testified in court that he was the eldest of seven children.

If it achieves the level of documentation required for a WikiTree pre-1500 profile, the profile will be created. Otherwise, the profile will remain here. To date, no early records have been found for Jordanus de Sheppey or anyone resembling him. According to the work of G. Marion Norwood Callam of England, "Jordanus de Sheppey's son Stephen was born towards the end of the eleventh century"(24) and "Late in life Jordanus married Cicely, daughter of Wlmar [sic], by whom he had two sons, William and Stephen" (22). It should be noted that these relationships are documented in English records, and that these early Norwoods in Kent were landed nobility, who served the crown and endowed local monasteries and convents, so records are abundant. However, Jordanus de Sheppey has been identified as a son of Harold II, Alnod (or Wulfnoth or Ulf) Cild. This Wulfnoth was the youngest son of Harold and Edith Swanneshals, namesake of his great grandfather. According to Ian Walker's biography of Harold, Harold's sons were beginning to come of age by 1066, so Wulfnoth probably reached 20 by around 1076 or so. Little is known about Harold's children in any case, and I haven't seen any reference to Wulfnoth's life after the Conquest. Regardless and my point here: if Stephen de Northwode was born around 1177 (which is not the end of the 11th century), he was not a grandson of Harold II. Jordanus de Sheppey may have been. James G. Dempsey has done independent research in the primary English sources, and his work, Norwood-Northwood families of Kent, Warwickshire, and Gloucestershire, should be consulted as well when researching early Norwoods. Dick Norwood [http://www.oocities.org/~rnorwood/tnfpexp.htm The Norwood Family Page] Accessed October 21, 2018 [[Day-1904|jhd]] ===Outline of the Legend=== The Family origins and their name began on the Isle of Sheppey, where it is said that This Alnod Cilt was Ulnoth, fourth son of earl Godwin, and younger brother to king Harold, who from the royalty of his kindred, had the addition of Cilt, a similar denomination to the Latin word Clito, with which those of royal blood were always honoured in those times Alnod (who had been imprisoned) was said to have eventually been released by William Rufus who then made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, washed in the River Jordan, and thus purified, changed his name to Jordanus, returning to Norwood Manor on the Isle of Sheppey to be near Edith, wife of King Harold, who had retired to the Nunnery of Minster Abbey. From that day on he became known as Jordanus de Sheppey, his descendants took the title of his manor and were known as ‘de Northwood’. Stephen Kuta. The Lives of My Ancestors. [https://thelivesofmyancestors.wordpress.com/2015/03/20/the-story-of-alnold-cilt-and-the-northwood-family/ The Story of Alnold Cilt and the Northwood Family] Accessed October 21, 2018 [[Day-1904|jhd]] The Norwood line can be traced fairly unerringly back to a man named Jordanus de Sheppey. The myth in the Norwood clan (in short) is that during his life, Harold Godwinson (King Harold II) had a son who hid away on the Isle of Sheppey and changed his name to Jordanus, becoming Jordanus de Sheppey. There is absolutely nothing in the way of proof tying King Harold to the Norwood family and it is actually mathematically impossible that Harold's son is 'our' Jordanus. But despite the story failing basic proof and logic tests, it continues to be propagated - and even argued - mostly because, I think, being related to a king is better than being related to a.... brick wall. Carrie Norwood, Roots and Blood [http://rootsandblood.blogspot.com/2014/08/how-to-stop-circulation-of-bad-family.html How to Stop the Circulation of Bad Family Tree Data] Accessed October 21, 2018 [[Day-1904|jhd]] King Harold lived 1022 – 1066. If we work backwards up the family line from you/me and up, which is the proper way to determine ancestry, Jordanus would have lived about 1135 - 1197. That's mostly guesswork because there is no actual documentation of his life - only of his children and wife. But we can be reasonably sure of the range of possible death years based upon some tax and court records from Cicely and his son, Stephen, and based upon his children's birth dates, have a pretty good idea of the range of possible birth years. Harold Godwinson was long dead by the time our Jordanus was born. Jordanus is the brick wall of our family. As part of the case for Jordanus being the son of King Harold II, in the book, GMNC states that Sir Stephen de Northwode was born in 1120 and died in 1196 (76 years old) [2]. However, there are existing records of a charter Stephen's mother, Cicily wrote in the year 1200 naming her father and her sons, including Stephen [1], which are also cited by the book. If Cicily was of childbearing age in 1120 (at least 13, but more than likely over 16), Stephen's purported birth year, but was still alive in 1200 to write the charter, she would have been almost, if not, 100 years old when she signed the charter, which is unlikely. Further, in the same book, GMNC says that Jordanus de Sheppey died at Salisbury in 1126 [2], which makes sense if he is the son of Harold - but that would mean that his wife Cicily and his children outlived him by 70 some odd years - which does not make as much sense. ===Sheppey in Domesday=== In 1086, the Domesday Book recorded Sheppey as being held by "Godfrey the Steward." Godfrey held 8 other properties in Kent. Open Domesday. [https://opendomesday.org/name/231100/godfrey-the-steward/ Godfrey the Steward] Accessed October 20, 2018 [[Day-1904|jhd]] Sheppey in 1086 was comprised of 6 households. It had been held by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1066. ===Name and Birth=== *Jordanus De Scapeia (Latin Form) Legend: His birth name was Ulnoth, or Arnold Cilt He was born in 1042 One problem with this story is that Jordanus de Sheppey lived sometime between the years 1135 – 1198, and Ulnoth ‘Wulnoth’ Godwinson lived between the years 1040 – 1094. ===Parents=== Legend: His father was earl Godwin, and he was the younger brother to king Harold. He was the son of [[Wessex-292|Harold Godwinson, King of England]] and his wife Lady Edith Swannaschels. Harold in turn was the son of [[Wessex-56|Godwin]], Earl of Kent and Wessex, b. 987, d. 15 April 1063, and his wife [[Thorgilsdatter-3|Gytha Thorgilsdottir]]. Alnod Cilt (or Jordanus de Sheppey), is more likely to have been an illegitimate child of Ulnoth, rather Ulnoth himself. ===Marriage=== He married Cecily Wimar. ===Imprisonment and Holy Land=== Legend: He was imprisoned in Normandy and eventually released by William Rufus, whereupon he made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, where he visited the river Jordan and took the name Jordanus. There are certainly elements of fact behind this story as firstly Ulnoth was indeed a hostage of William the conquerer and remained so (in Normandy) between the years 1051 and 1087, his freedom was only brief, an amnesty by the dying King William I, he was quickly taken back into confinement by King William II Rufus, who brought him to England. Ulnoth stayed in sometimes comfortable, if not enviable, captivity in Normandy and later in England, and died in Winchester in 1094, still a prisoner. Did Alnod Cilt travel to the holy land and did he re-name himself Jordanus after his baptism in the river Jordan. If they are one of the same person, then Jordanus de Sheppey as he was now known would have been at least 60 years old when the first of the Northwood family were reputedly born in 1165, this may have been the case as medieval men were often much older than their wives. However, Jordanus de Sheppey could also have been a son of Alnod Cilt, which could easily have made his birth c. 1135 or earlier, making him a good age to father the first of the Northwood family which history tells us happened. ===Last days in Sheppey=== Legend: He returned to the Isle of Sheppey to be near Edith, wife of King Harold, who had retired to the nunnery of Minster Abbey. The Minister Abbey, Isle of Sheppey is also the last resting place of Edith the Fair, wife / mistress of King Harold Godwinson who retired there as a Nun shortly after her husband’s death at the Battle of Hastings, 14 October 1066. If Alnod Cilt was born before 1086, (as recorded in Domesday) he may even have been in Edith’s care. ===Death=== He died in 1126 Alnod Cilt lays buried in the Minster Abbey, Isle of Sheppey. His grandson Sir Stephen de Norwood (Northwood) born c. 1165 built two manor houses, the manor on the Isle of Sheppy was known as “Norwood Manor” within Sheppy and a manor in the Parish of Milton was known as “Norwood without Sheppy” and also known as “Norwood Chasteners.” ===Issue=== Legend: He was the father of [[Northwood-12|Sir Stephen de Northwoode, b. 1120, d. 1196 and his wife Fedive de Landries. (The profile shows Stephen's wife as Joan Unknown. There is no evidence to suggest that Ulnoth had any legitimate heirs, but he was well looked after and Woman would certainly have been allowed in his quarters. Stephen recorded as a son of Jordan de Sheppy, lived during the reigns of Richard I and King John, (1189 – 1216) his Isle of Sheppey manor was granted by the crown, his mansion was moated round and encompassed with a park, well wooded, and stored with abundance of deer and wild boars. Hence, he assumed the name of Northwood, which was borne by all his descendants. The first time the surname Norwood occurs, is in a court case in the year 1206. At this time, Stephen is also recorded as Stephen, son of Jordan of Sheppey or Stephen son of Cecily. The earliest dated occurrence of Stephen is in the tax rolls for the years 1198-1202 still existing in the public record office in Chancery Lane, London. He occurs with his mother, Cecily, and his brother William. Since Jordan is not mentioned, he is assumed to be dead by this time.” Stephen’s approximate birthdate of 1165 is based on the fact that he paid to have King John re-confirm his grants that he received from King Richard I around the year 1185. He would have had to be of age at that time so his birthdate is guessed to be the near 1165 figure. [James Dempsey, “Norwood – Northwood families of Kent Warwickshire and Gloucestershire”, 1987] Stephen’s name can be found in a variety of ways because before the year 1200, the use of surnames or spelling had not been rigidly adopted. In tax rolls for the years 1214 and 1219, Northwood Manor has become well-known enough for Stephen to identify himself as “Stephen of Norwood”. ==Sources==

From http://thefirstamericanreavis.blogspot.com/ 1696, Captain William Kidd, having received funding of 8,000 Pounds Sterling by English Whigs, sought skilled sailors to join his mission to capture pirates. It seems likely that two of Edward and Mary Ashley's 10 children, Joseph and Abraham and perhaps even two more Rebecca and John answered the call. It seems likely that Mary Hallowell Ashley was not amused. Perhaps she had heard about how Kidd, when sailing out of London on his new ship had failed to salute a Royal Navy ship; instead, the crew gave the "Royal Salute"--turning toward the ship and patting their backsides. The Navy Captain took revenge and impressed several of Kidd's crew into Royal Military Service. Perhaps Mary was concerned for the well being of her children, perhaps she was upset that the tales told by her husband Edward about his days as a whaling captain had encouraged reckless behavior, perhaps the venture being funded by the Whig political party was part of the problem or perhaps she was upset that her family did not win the bid to build this "million pound vessel" or she might have even been aware of the shoddy build of this particular vessel. In any event, it seems likely that Mary Hallowell Ashley was not amused. Soon after the voyage began, another Royal Navy Officer tried to impress Kidd's sailors. Kidd, after agreeing to allow the Navy to impress 30 of his crew, on the following day, sneaked away during the night, saved his crew and was rewarded by being declared a pirate--thus making Mary's sons pirates! It seems likely that Mary Hallowell Ashley was NOT AMUSED. After more than a year without successfully capturing pirates, Kidd did indeed switch from the job of privateer to that of pirate--so said the English Court that had him hung by the neck and then gibbeted over Tilbury Point for three years. For the Wikipedia entry on Kidd, go here Captain Kidd. This was not a story that would make a proper English mother proud. Can you imagine the acrimony in the Ashley household? How did the above events unfold? It is likely that Edward Ashley's father arrived in America during the "great migration" from 1621 to 1635. John Winthrop, the founder of First Church, arrived in Boston in 1630. Mary Hallowell's grandfather, shipbuilder Benjamin Ward, arrived in Boston in 1635. Of course, while it is possible that Edward's father arrived on the Mayflower in Plymouth in 1621, it is more likely that he was part of the "wave" of settlers that followed. First Church--a congregationalist church not subject to rule by the Church of England-- may have had records of Edward's father, before the church burned (the first time). He may have been seeking religious freedom or he may have been an indentured servant or a ship crewman or a captain. Click here to read more about the Plymouth Expedition. Edward Ashley was born in Boston in 1650. By the age of 24, he had been a whaling captain, a frontier man, a fur trader and a friend of Indians (rumored to have been a very close friend of at least one Indian Maiden). He certainly did not fit the mold of the average parishioner of First Church. Indeed only three years after its founding, John Cotton became the minister, which led to the establishment of the "official church of Massachusetts". By Edward's day, First Church had become the church of the "local royalty"--which included the Hallowell-Ward shipbuilding clans--and love does indeed conquer all. Edward and Mary Hallowell's named their first son William and their second Edward. Their marriage apparently went well (10 kids in 23 years implies a certain level of bliss); until the four children joined-up with a Whig sponsored Pirate, by the name of Captain William Kidd. Soon after Rebecca, Joseph, Abraham and John left home and soon after Captain Kidd set sail with at least Joseph and Abraham, it seems that the Ashley house was not a happy place. The names of these 4 children were expunged from the records at First Church. It seems that Mary wanted no history of her relationship to a pirate, especially a Whig pirate, to exist. Anyway, about the time that Captain Kidd was summoned to court, her husband and her second son (the two Edwards) disappeared--never to be seen again--maybe, maybe not! Later, some of Mary's family were persecuted for siding with King Charles, some changed their names and some left with British Soldiers, going back to England just before the start of the Revolutionary War.

[[Captain Michael Grass]] Captain Michael Grass UE brought about 1000 Loyalists to Kingston, Ontario in 1784 from New York Colony spending winter 1783 in Sorel, Quebec, The Grass family has been well researched over the years, but there are still may family histories and question of family lineages that have not been proven. Most of the research has been done for the United Empire Loyalsit Association by family members mainly in Southern Ontario. There is also a Grass family branch who settled in New Brunswick after the Revolution which descends from Jacob Grass, who may or may not be a brother. Another Michael Grass settled in the Grantham (Niagara) area later moving to Sarnia area. The present descendants of Captain Michael Grass has been accepted the existing ancestors for many decades, but there is new research by Glen V. Grass who provides a new lineage. This information needs to referenced so that correct data can be provided. I did research in the 1990's at the National Archives of Canada and the Mormon Church however it was very difficult to prove the accuracy of the information because of the poor record keeping in Upper Canada.

Many researchers and prior versions of this profile have identified [[Griffin-5132|Mary Griffin]] and [[Bryan-1224|Mary Bryan]] as one of his wives, but no reliable source for either of these claims has been identified. Those spouses have been detached pending identification of a reliable source for the claims. Note that the DAR has attached an "Error in Lineage" flag to several DAR application files for Thomas Lee (Ancestry A068774) indicating that "PATRIOT DID NOT MARRY MARY BRYAN. SHE WAS NOT THE MOTHER OF ANY OF HIS CHILDREN."DAR, "Ancestor Search," (https://services.dar.org/Public/DAR_Research/search/?Tab_ID=1 : accessed 14 Mar 2023), search terms: Ancestor Number: A068774. ===Disputed Origins/Allegations of Falsified Bible Records=== There are many online and some published genealogies which claim a disputed ancestry for this Thomas Lee, based on alleged bible records that were published in the early 20th Century purporting to show that this Thomas Lee was the son of [[Lee-2523|Richard Lee]], grandson of [[Lee-859|Hancock Lee]], of Ditchley, Northumberland County, Colony of Virginia. The claims have since been repeated many times, including in published genealogies.See, e.g., Victor Davidson, ''History of Wilkinson County,'' (Macon, Ga.: J.W. Burke Co., 1930), 571; images, ''Ancestry,'' (https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/22853/ : accessed 14 Mar 2023); {{Ancestry Sharing|2445974|551e6e74b63f41983e93d5049015ccba00991b89d830dcf3c383b95f58cce250}}. However, these published accounts were reportedly based on falsified bible records circulated by a "zealous" researcher in the early 20th Century seeking to claim a connection to the famous Lee family of Virginia. A 2004 explanation from a Geni.com discussion"Capt. Thomas Lee Heritage," ''Geni.com,'' (https://www.geni.com/discussions/94779?msg=702591 : accessed 14 Mar 2023). states:

Captain Thomas J. Lee is one of the most researched of the Lees of Virginia, East Tennessee Lee heirs often wish to find a family tie with the Great Lee Family of Virginia. As result some zealous early 20th Century researchers placed erroneous information in circulation. A lady from Alabama, Mrs. Boyle placed fake Bible records in certain genealogical publications in Virginia claiming that Capt. Lee was the son of Richard and Judith Steptoe Lee then spread the information, "far and wide". Based on the information spread by Mrs. Boyle Wm F. Franke made and distributed a family chart showing how Capt. Thomas J. Lee was the son of Richard Lee, grandson of Hancock Lee and so on. In a letter written to Mrs. Kate Lee on February 21, 1955 Wm F. Franke recanted the chart stating that, "the information given me by others...was proved to be wrong".

As a result, any factual claims concerning bible records in this family should be treated with extreme caution and verified with corroborating sources before being relied upon. ===Disambiguation - Military Service=== This Thomas Lee had been living in Johnston County, North Carolina, for at least twenty years when the American Revolution began in 1775, but previous versions of this profile have confused him with other men of the same name who [also] served during the Revolutionary War in other parts of the American colonies, including: ====Capt.

I found this in my notes. Hope it will help Capt. William Powell along with the other survivors of the Sea Venture” do not arrive in Jamestown until May 23, 1610, eight and a half months after Smith leaves. There is no record of the two men having ever meet. The next major error is that Capt. William Powell and Capt. Nathaniel Powell were brothers. They were kinsmen, not brothers, they were probably first or second cousins. This is in the London Company and the British Chancellery records. Nathaniel did have a brother named Thomas who lived in Howelton, Suffolk, England and did later inherited his estate after Nathaniel and his wife were killed by Indians March 22, 1622. There are many false stories about Capt. William Powell and his family. The first is, he was not the son of Hugh Powell Jr. of Castle Madoc, Brecon, Wales. Hugh Powell’s son William was born in 1580 at Castle Madoc. He became a poet and remained in Wales where he died in 1620. Capt. William Powell was born 1577 in St. Olave Parish Southwark, Surry, England, son of John Powell, who is said to have been a brewer. His baptismal records are at St. Olave Parish Church. Capt. William Powell is said to have first married Elizabeth Wells of St. Olave Parish. Some people claim that she came to Jamestown with William in 1609/10 and brought their children and that she died there in Jamestown. This is not true, as records indicate she died in 1626 in her home town of St. Olave Parish. Neither her name or the names of her children appear in the London Company Records, (another point later). William took a so called second wife in Jamestown named Margaret Stitt. I say so called, as in the Chancellery records there was a suite filed by a Thomas Powell against a William Powell for bigamy. There is no way to directly tie this to Capt. William Powell, but it fits. When Capt. William Powell died in January 1623, (note I said died not killed), The London Company repossessed his estate on the grounds that he had no heirs. If he had been legally married to Margaret, she and/or their children would have inherited the estate. If his first wife, Elizabeth and their children had of come to Jamestown, the company would been aware that he had heirs in England as well as his fellow colonist. More false hoods! In his book Smith says that Capt. William Powell was killed by Indians. This was just a story to make the book more exciting. Letters in the London Company records report William’s death by disease after being weakened by low rations. The winter of 1622/23 was known as the starving time when many, many people died. Not long after William Powell died Margaret married Edward Blaney and then she died shortly after that, 1624. Another error that I have found, is that some people claim, William and Margaret had children. The 1624 Mustard list (census) only one child with the name Powell, and that was John Powell, Jr. son of John Powell, Sr. and his wife Katherine. Another laughable error is that many of these people claim that these children were born in 1626 and dates after that. Please check your dates, as dead people cannot have children. I hope this will help those people who find these errors in their family trees to correct them.

Actually your notes are also incorrect: "Capt. William Powell along with the other survivors of the Sea Venture” do not arrive in Jamestown until May 23, 1610, eight and a half months after Smith leaves. There is no record of the two men having ever meet." Thomas Powell was on the "Sea Venture"...he was the cook of Sir George Somers.While shipwrecked on the island of Bermuda he married Elizabeth Persons, the maid of Lady Horton. Capt. William Powell did not arrive until 1611 with Captain Thomas Gates on his return from England. "The next major error is that Capt. William Powell and Capt. Nathaniel Powell were brothers. They were kinsmen, not brothers, they were probably first or second cousins. This is in the London Company and the British Chancellery records. Nathaniel did have a brother named Thomas who lived in Howelton, Suffolk, England and did later inherited his estate after Nathaniel and his wife were killed by Indians March 22, 1622." The records state that Capt. Wm Powell had filed for letters of administration on the estate of Nathaniel Powell; then he died and his widow Margaret remarried Edward Blaney.Blaney, as the now administrator of his wife's estate/assets attempted to claim the estate on her behalf; in the meantime, the heirs of Nathaniel Powell wrote a letter of complaint to the Virginia Company stating that they were in no way related.Because the Virginia Company had such a high regard for Capt Nathaniel Powell, and because he was a Gentleman, they interceded on the behalf of his brothers and sisters (in England), and sent a letter to Virginia with explicit instructions on handling the estate properly, remarking it was especially important because they were poor. "Capt. William Powell is said to have first married Elizabeth Wells of St. Olave Parish. Some people claim that she came to Jamestown with William in 1609/10 and brought their children and that she died there in Jamestown. This is not true, as records indicate she died in 1626 in her home town of St. Olave Parish. Neither her name or the names of her children appear in the London Company Records, (another point later). William took a so called second wife in Jamestown named Margaret Stitt. I say so called, as in the Chancellery records there was a suite filed by a Thomas Powell against a William Powell for bigamy. There is no way to directly tie this to Capt. William Powell, but it fits." If Capt. Wm Powell were a bigamist it would be well known ...because he was well known in Virginia and to the Va Company in London.His heirs are also documented as you will see below... "When Capt. William Powell died in January 1623, (note I said died not killed), The London Company repossessed his estate on the grounds that he had no heirs. If he had been legally married to Margaret, she and/or their children would have inherited the estate. If his first wife, Elizabeth and their children had of come to Jamestown, the company would been aware that he had heirs in England as well as his fellow colonist." His estate was not repossessed. "More false hoods! In his book Smith says that Capt. William Powell was killed by Indians. This was just a story to make the book more exciting. Letters in the London Company records report William’s death by disease after being weakened by low rations. The winter of 1622/23 was known as the starving time when many, many people died. Not long after William Powell died Margaret married Edward Blaney and then she died shortly after that, 1624." The starving time was between Oct of 1609 to May of 1610; The settlers decided to leave the settlement when the arrival of Gates saved the colony.Gates then returned to England and came back in 1611 with 150 men and heavy provisions.It was on this return trip that Capt Wm Powell came to Virginia. The winter of 1622/23 was known as time when retaliatory raids were launched against the Natives.Because of the colonists success in these raids, more land was made available for settlement.This would be the beginning of the end for the Native Tribes of Virginia... Another error that I have found, is that some people claim, William and Margaret had children. The 1624 Mustard list (census) only one child with the name Powell, and that was John Powell, Jr. son of John Powell, Sr. and his wife Katherine. Another laughable error is that many of these people claim that these children were born in 1626 and dates after that. Please check your dates, as dead people cannot have children. The only thing that is laughable is this narrative;I too have seen charts with dates that cannot work and like many others I find it annoying to see these errors because it shows that the person who created it as well as those who accept it as fact don't really care about genealogy and are happy to have a total pile of crap for their family history. It is a fact that Capt. William Powell had heirs.Please read the following from the records of Surry County, Virginia: 1 July 1656:Indenture between William Powell, Southwarke Parish, Baker and administrator of Capt. William Powell late of Chippoakes, his natural brother, deceased,and heir unto George Powell, natural son of the said Capt. William Powell, also since deceased, and William Parke of Leadenhall Street, London, and Ann his wife, Ann grandchild of the said William Powell party to these presents of the one part, and William Batt of Chippoakes Creek, Colony of Virginia, of the other part.William Powell ...William Parke and Ann his wife for a certain consideration sell all their rights to 800 acres of land, late in the possession of the said William Powell and George Powell, his son, in Surry County;600 acres in Lower Chippoakes on the James River...and 200 acres on Little Creek, called Crouches Creek...William Powell, William Parke, Ann Parke, Ar. Bailey, John White, Robert Fox, Fra. Mayo Surry Co, DB I p. 93 Captain William Powell left two known sons:Richard and George.Richard died before George and left a daughter Mary; Thomas Warren of Surry became Mary Powell's guardian. She died about the age of 15 according to witnesses.The estate of Capt. William Powell went to his surviving heirs, which was his brother, also named William and William's daughter Ann (in Southwarke).All of the documents to back this up are to be found in the Surry Co, VA Courthouse. "I hope this will help those people who find these errors in their family trees to correct them. Please do not take offence as is not pointed at any one person and is meant to help those who have received the misinformation and taken it as fact." I also hope to help people correct their errors.

CAPT’S POWELL, NATHANIEL & WILLIAM For some unknown reason people keep writing that [[Powell-771|Capt. William Powell]] arrived in Jamestown in 1607 with Capt. John Smith. This is not true. The London Company records list [[Powell-5588|Nathaniel Powell, Gent.]], as the ''only'' Powell on the first voyage. For some reason people keep misquoting Capt. John Smith. In his book ''History of Virginia'' he never mentions Capt. William Powell as being in the Jamestown while he (Smith) was there. In the book, Smith does list Nathaniel Powell, Gent., as arriving with him in 1607, and later writes about his trusted friend Capt. Nathaniel Powell. In May 1609 William Powell signs the ''Second Virginia Charter'', in London, England, and on June 2, 1609, he leaves England for Virginia on board the ''Sea Venture'' along with 8 other ships. On July 25 the ships become separated in storm. One ship sink and the ''Sea Venture'' is run aground on a reef off of Bermuda on the 28th. The survivors spent the 9 months building 2 smaller ships out of salvaged material from the ''Sea Venture'' and island timber. October 1609 Capt. John Smith leaves for England to recover from burns on his leg that he received while mishandling gum [gun] power. He never returns to Virginia. Capt. William Powell along with the other survivors of the ''Sea Venture'' do not arrive in Jamestown until May 23, 1610, eight and a half months after Smith leaves. There is no record of the two men having ever meet. The next major error is that Capt. William Powell and Capt. Nathaniel Powell were brothers. They were kinsmen, '''not''' brothers, they were probably first or second cousins. This is in the London Company and the British Chancellery records. Nathaniel did have a brother named Thomas who lived in Howelton, Suffolk, England and did later inherited his estate after Nathaniel and his wife were killed by Indians March 22, 1622.

William Powell is said to have first married Elizabeth Wells of St. Olave Parish. Some people claim that she came to Jamestown with William in 1609/10 and brought their children and that she died there in Jamestown. This is '''not''' true, as records indicate she died in 1626 in her home town of St. Olave Parish. Neither her name or the names of her children appear in the London Company Records, (another point later). William took a so called second wife in Jamestown named Margaret Stitt. I say so called, as in the Chancellery records there was a suite [suit] filled by a Thomas Powell against a William Powell for bigamy. There is no way to directly tie this to Capt. William Powell, put [but] it fits. When Capt. William Powell died in January 1623, (note I said died not killed), The London Company repossessed his estate on the grounds that he had no heirs. If he had been legally married to Margaret, she and/or their children would have inherited the estate. If his first wife, Elizabeth and their children had of come to Jamestown, the company would been aware that he had heirs in England as well as his fellow colonist. More false hoods! In his book Smith says that Capt. William Powell was killed by Indians. This was ''just a story to make the book more exciting''. Letters in the London Company records report William’s death by disease after being weakened by low rations. The winter of 1622/23 was known as the starving time when many, many people died. Not long after William Powell died Margaret married [[Blaney-130|Edward Blaney]] and then she died shortly after that, 1624. Another error that I have found, is that some people claim, William and Margaret had children. The 1624 Mustard [Muster] list[s] (census) only one child with the name Powell, and that was John Powell, Jr. son of John Powell, Sr. and his wife Katherine. Another laughable error is that many of these people claim that these children were born in 1626 and dates after that. Please check your dates, as dead people cannot have children. I hope this will help those people who find these errors in their family trees to correct them. Please do not take offence as is not pointed at any one person and is meant to help those who have received the misinformation and taken it as fact. Enjoy your research into your family history, and have a good day, Doug Collins, [email address listed on original site, but deleted here per WikiTree guidlines]

Small city in southern Illinois, an area sometimes called "Little Cairo" or "Little Egypt." : : CARBONDALE HISTORY : : From the'' Memoirs of [http://www.firstprescdale.org/html/history/history14.html DANIEL HARMON BRUSH]'': [[Image:Carbondale-1.jpg|200px]] : : "I insert here some statements concerning the founding of Carbondale abstracted from a memoir which I prepared in 1862 and which I sent to the editor of the local paper on my sixty-fifth birthday, April 25, 1878. : : "In the summer of 1852 the line of the Illinois Central Railroad was permanently located through this county. I was then residing in Murphysboro, the county seat, and had previously determined that as soon as the road was established I would remove to some point on it which offered a reasonable prospect of doing remunerative business. Knowing that persons seemingly connected with the Railroad Company had purchased land near the present stations of De Soto and Makanda, thus indicating a design to develop towns at these points, I desired to find an intermediate site, where I could secure sufficient land and, if possible, induce the Company to put in a switch and make a stopping place, or at least a flag station. : : "About the first of August, 1852, accompanied by Asgill Conner, I commenced my search on horseback and came to a small improvement in this vicinity owned by John Brewster. Here we were compelled to leave our horses and pick our way as best we could through a dense mass of vines, briars, and tangled underbrush until we found the line of road--a path along which was cleared of the luxuriant growth--and by the grade stakes, we could see the line of survey as well as the profile of the road, and by following the line and carefully noting the numbers on the stakes, we discovered that for about one mile, through parts of sections 16 and 21 in T 9 S R 1 W the roadbed would be level, without much excavation or filling up at any place. This level occurring in the center of an elevated and rolling scope of territory, and being likewise about midway between the points that had been apparently selected as stations, and also being nearly upon a direct line from Murphysboro to Marion, the county seat of Williamson County, struck me very forcibly as the spot I was looking for. : : "I found, moreover, that the land could be purchased at reasonable rates. Thereupon the scheme of securing ground and laying out a town here was entered into between myself and my friends, Doctor William Richart and Asgill Conner, who upon examination of the ground coincided with me in thinking the site a good one, and we agreed to move together in the project. Steps were taken to secure the land, and as we were not very flush in capital, and had an idea that we could hardly hope to secure a railway station or do much towards building up a town ourselves, it was decided that I should go to Jonesboro, then the headquarters of the railroad men, and make such arrangements as I might deem most advisable for the success of the cause. I thereupon went to Jonesboro on August 27, 1852 and made known my errand to Lewis W. Ashley, Chief Engineer of the southern division of the road. The scheme was not viewed by Mr. Ashley with much favor at first but when I signified to him the precise location of the land, he saw from his maps and surveys that the ground was favorable and that a town could be built there. . . . . : In pursuance of this agreement all of said lands were secured and a town was laid out on November 24, 1852. At a meeting of the proprietors, held at the office of L. W. Ashley in Jonesboro, Nov. 25, 1852, I proposed that inasmuch as the town was in a coal region it should be called Carbondale, which was agreed to, and this name was entered upon the plat. I further proposed that lots 59, 74, 99, and 114 should be reserved for donation to such churches as should first select and build thereon, which was assented to by all the proprietors present and entered upon the plat in the following words: : : "The lots donated to churches as marked on this plat are not to vest in said churches until a house of worship shall be erected thereon of stone, brick, or frame, worth at least five hundred dollars, and then to vest in fee simple in such church." : : "I also proposed that the sale of spiritous liquors as a beverage should be forever prohibited in the town. It was so decided by the proprietors, and a provision was entered upon the town plat forfeiting to the town for the support of the public schools the title to any lot on which spiritous liquors for use as a beverage were sold. : : "On January 4, 1853, the first sale of lots in the town was held. Persons who desired to establish liquor shops were in attendance and they were informed that no retailing of liquors would be permitted, and that it was desired no one should purchase a lot with a view to selling intoxicating liquors upon it. At the sale each alternate lot was offered, and sold to the highest bidder. Prices ranged from six to one hundred dollars per lot, averaging, however, only a fraction over twenty-four dollars. The other lots had been divided amongst the proprietors, November 25, 1852. : : "Soon after the town was laid out and the plat recorded, I made a copy of it and forwarded it to the General Superintendent of the Railroad at Chicago, said plat showing that the central square containing 9 60-100 acres had been "reserved for the Railroad Company for railroad purposes only," and asked the Company to consider favorably what we had done and make a station at this point, offering myself to erect the necessary warehouse if the Company would put in a switch, but saying I would much prefer to have the Company put up the buildings on its own account. Soon afterwards the authorities of the road ordered the erection of a freighthouse here and gave me the contract; a switch was also immediately put in, and the station established. : : "The railroad track was laid to this town from the south on July 4, 1854 and on that day the first locomotive came up thus far. The citizens of the town and neighborhood made a free dinner and extended a general invitation. About 2,000 men, women and children came in from the surrounding country to see, most of them for the first time in their lives, a railroad and a train of cars. : : "The first residence in the town was erected by James Boyd Richart, who put up a small house on lot 36 in December, 1852 and resided in it with his family at the time of the first sale of lots. Asgill Conner built the second dwelling house on lot 69 and was residing in it with his family early in the year 1853. : : "The first sermon in the town was preached by Rev. Josiah Wood, a Presbyterian minister, in December, 1852. He preached in an unfinished log cabin erected by Asgill Conner for a dwelling, but having only the roof on and the floor laid. : : "The first business house in Carbondale was started by myself. In December, 1852 I had a small house of hewn logs 18 × 18 feet erected on the west end of lot 17, in which I placed a stock of goods in charge of Asgill Conner, and opened up for trade about the 1st of January, 1853. The same building, somewhat improved in appearance by : : p 189: "In the early part of this year Jane Brush, widow of my brother James, located in Carbondale with her six children, Edgar, Elkanah, Samuel, George, Mary and James, all then quite young.

The first train came to Carbondale on July 4, 1854. At the peak of the city's railroad traffic, as many as 53 passenger trains passed through here each day. '''Location of Carbondale within Illinois''' Location of Illinois in the United States Website: www.explorecarbondale.com Carbondale is a city in Jackson County, Illinois, United States, within the Southern Illinois region informally known as "Little Egypt". The city developed from 1853 because of the stimulation of railroad construction into the area. Today the major roadways of Illinois Route 13 and U.S. Route 51 intersect in the city. The city is 96 miles (154 km) southeast of St. Louis, Missouri, on the northern edge of the Shawnee National Forest. Carbondale is the home of the main campus of Southern Illinois University. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 25,902, and it is the state's 20th-most-populated city outside of the Chicago Metropolitan Area. In addition, the city is the most populous in Southern Illinois outside of the St. Louis Metro-East region, and the most populous city in the Carbondale-Marion-Herrin, Illinois Combined Statistical Area and the Metro Lakeland area. The CSA has 126,575 residents, the sixth-most-populous Combined statistical area in Illinois. '''History of Carbondale''' In August 1853, [http://www.firstprescdale.org/html/history/history14.html Daniel Harmon Brush], John Asgill Conner, and Dr. William Richart bought a 360-acre (1.5 km2) parcel of land between two proposed railroad station sites (Makanda and De Soto) and two county seats (Murphysboro and Marion). Brush named Carbondale for the large deposit of coal in the area. The first train through Carbondale arrived on Independence Day 1854, traveling north on the main line from Cairo, Illinois. By the time of the American Civil War, Carbondale had developed as a regional center for transportation and business, surrounded by agricultural development. This part of Illinois was known as "Little Egypt"; some believe because it was a farming area. The city became an educational center with the founding of Carbondale College (which was renamed as Southern Illinois College in 1869). Carbondale also won the bid for the new state teacher training school for the region, and Southern Illinois Normal University opened in 1874. This gave the town new industry, new citizens, and a supplement to public schools. In 1947, the name was changed to Southern Illinois University. It has become the flagship of the Southern Illinois University system. This institution, now recognized as a national research university, has nearly 18,000 students enrolled (as of 2014) and offers a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate specialties. [[Image:Carbondale-2.jpg|350px]] On April 29, 1866, one of the first formal Memorial Day observations following the Civil War was held at the city's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodlawn_Cemetery_%28Carbondale,_Illinois%29 Woodlawn Cemetery]. Local resident, General John A. Logan, gave the principal address. In the early 20th century, Carbondale was known as the "Athens of Egypt," due to the expansion of the college and university, and the region's moniker of "Little Egypt."The phrase dates to at least 1903, when it appeared in a local paper. By 1922, the Carbondale Free Press was using the phrase on its flag. '''Geography'''
Carbondale is located at 37°44'N 89°13'W (37.726, -89.220). It is in the watershed of the Big Muddy River, at 415 feet (126 m) above sea level. Carbondale will be in the totality path of two upcoming solar eclipses: first on August 21, 2017, and secondly, on April 8, 2024. According to the 2010 census, the city has a total area of 17.51 square miles (45.4 km2), of which 17.08 square miles (44.2 km2) (or 97.54%) is land and 0.43 square miles (1.1 km2) (or 2.46%) is water. ''Climate'' Carbondale lies in the northern limits of a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa), with four distinct seasons. The monthly daily average temperature ranges from 32.4 °F (0.2 °C) in January to 78.1 °F (25.6 °C) in July. On average, there are 40 days of 90 °F (32 °C)+ highs, 16 days where the high fails to rise above freezing, and 2.3 nights of sub-0 °F (-18 °C) per year. It has an average annual precipitation of 47.2 inches (1,200 mm), including an average 11 inches (28 cm) of snow.

The population density was 2,152.0 people per square mile (830.9/km²). There were 11,005 housing units at an average density of 925.2 per square mile (357.2/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 66.08% White, 23.14% Black or African American, 0.22% Native American, 6.67% Asian, 0.08% Pacific Islander, 1.42% from other races, and 2.40% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 3.05% of the population. There were 9,981 households out of which 17.0% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 22.1% were married couples living together, 10.1% had a female householder with no husband present, and 21.5% were non-families. 43.5% of all households were made up of individuals and 6.9% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.33 and the average family size was 2.78. In the city the population was spread out with 15.8% under the age of 18, 35.4% from 18 to 24, 27.1% from 25 to 44, 12.5% from 45 to 64, and 9.3% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 25 years. For every 100 females there were 106.2 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 105.6 males. The median income for a household in the city was $27,882, and the median income for a family was $34,601. Males had a median income of $30,217 versus $24,114 for females. The per capita income for the city was $13,346. About 13.5% of families and 21.4% of the population were below the poverty line, including 32.1% of those under the age of 18 and 13.2% of those 65 and older. However, traditional measures of income and poverty can be misleading when applied to cities with high student populations, such as Carbondale. '''Government''' The city of Carbondale has a council-manager government. There are a total of seven elected city officials: a mayor and six city council members elected at-large for four-year staggered terms. The City Manager, a professional hired by the city council, appoints the department heads. The city provides services such as police, fire, development services, public works, and public library. Several boards and commissions allow for citizen participation, bringing more citizens into civic activities. helping to bridge the gap between the residents and the government. Carbondale is a zoned, home rule municipality. In 2010, the city approved a new comprehensive plan that lays out goals for the future and ways to accomplish these goals. On April 5, 2011, Joel Fritzler was elected mayor for a four-year term, but on February 3, 2014, he resigned to accept a job in Arizona. The City Council chose Don Monty as Acting Mayor to finish Fritzler's term. '''Culture and Commerce''' In addition to Southern Illinois University, which presents regular concerts and theatrical productions, as well as art and history exhibits, the city has a variety of unique cultural institutions. PBS and NPR broadcasting stations (WSIU) are affiliated with the university. Carbondale also is home to WDBX Community Radio for Southern Illinois, and the Big Muddy Independent Media Center. The area is served by a regional daily newspaper, The Southern Illinoisan and the university's Daily Egyptian;as well as two weeklies, the Carbondale Times and the Nightlife' SIU has a teaching museum on campus, the University Museum, which has 60,000 artifacts in its collection and hosts traveling shows from known artists. In addition to the University Museum, there is the African American Museum and The Science Center. Theater-goers can see both professional and student-produced plays and performances at the university's McLeod and Kleinau Theaters. SIUC is also home to the largest auditorium in Southern Illinois, Shryock Auditorium. Shryock Auditorium has brought in many performing artists, such as B.B. King, the Supremes, Ray Charles, and Judy Collins, along with orchestras and other musical productions. Theater-goers can also attend off-campus productions by The Jackson County Stage Company (Stage Company). In 2007, the Stage Company and Carbondale Community Arts (CCA) partnered to purchase and renovate the Varsity Theater, which had been vacant since 2003, into the Varsity Center for the Arts (VCA). The VCA is now the performing home of the Stage Company and also supports a variety of other fine arts and performances through the CCA. Civic action is encouraged by groups such as Carbondale Conversations for Community Action (the local implementation of Study Circles). There are several lodges and clubs, such as the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Elks, Rotary, and the A.F.A.M (Freemasons). The Women's Center, in continuous service since its founding in 1972, was one of the first domestic violence shelters in the United States. Spirituality finds expression in Carbondale in churches of a variety of Christian denominations, a Unitarian Universalist fellowship, two mosques, a Jewish congregation, a Sufi community, and two Buddhist organizations — the Shawnee Dharma Group and the Sunyata Center. The first Hindu temple in Southern Illinois held its grand opening in Carbondale in June 2013. The Gaia House Interfaith Center provides space for intercultural exchange and personal growth. It is also an education center to help the community become more ecologically conscious, understand how to incorporate better practices into daily life, and set goals for the future. Carbondale is also sometimes referred to as a "Town of Poets" for their flourishing poetry community. Notable poets include Rodney Jones, Judy Jordan, Allison Joseph, and the Transpoetic Playground collective. The city's business districts include several large shopping malls (including University Mall on the east side of town), featuring a mixture of national chain stores and locally owned businesses. In addition, Carbondale is home to many small shops and restaurants, many of them located in the downtown area. The downtown district is supported by Carbondale Main Street, which has listings and information about individual businesses. Because of the large student population in the city, there is a great variety of restaurants, featuring many nationalities of cuisine. Several bars and coffeehouses offer live music, poetry readings, and other entertainment. The Carbondale Chamber of Commerce offers information on local [[Image:Carbondale-3.jpg|350px]] businesses in over 60 categories. [Among the older buildings in the business district is a Queen Anne style building constructed in 1903 by a local pharmacist, [[Prickett-353|Francis Asbury/Albert Prickett]], that is now on the National Register of Historic Buildings. Carbondale is known for a number of yearly festivals, including the Lights Fantastic parade in December, the Big Muddy Film Festival (February/March), the Southern Illinois Irish Festival (April), the Indian celebration of Diwali (December), the Great Cardboard Boat Regatta (April), the Sunset Concerts (a summer series of free outdoor concerts on the Southern Illinois University campus and in city parks), and Brown Bag Concerts (a spring and fall series of free outdoor concerts in the Town Square Pavilion). Carbondale has 18 public tennis courts, as well as the Superblock, which is a sports multi-complex with baseball, softball, soccer, football, and track fields. The Carbondale Park District maintains seven parks and an indoor pool for public use. In 2010 the park district opened a new "spray park" in Attucks Park,[19] and a water park is currently under construction at the Superblock.[20][21] Southern Illinois University's Recreation Center is open to the public; it provides swimming, bowling, rock climbing walls, tennis, basketball, an indoor track, racquetball, weight training, and a variety of exercise equipment. Carbondale is located near many venues for outdoor activities, including some 14 parks in the immediate vicinity. These include the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge, the Shawnee National Forest, Giant City State Park, Little Grand Canyon, Piney Creek Ravine, Pomona Natural Bridge, the Garden of the Gods Wilderness area, and Trail of Tears State Park. These areas offer opportunities for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Five minutes south of Carbondale is the city reservoir, Cedar Lake, which is open to kayaking and canoeing. The north access features several dramatic rock bluffs and secluded bays. Other lakes nearby include Little Grassy Lake, Devils Kitchen Lake, Crab Orchard Lake, and Kinkaid Lake. Another more remote location is Cache River Swamp, the northernmost cypress swamp in North America. The surrounding areas also offer hiking and mountain biking. The Shawnee National Forest is also home to many wineries. The Shawnee Hills Wine Trail visits twelve vineyards in scenic settings, offering local wines and dining facilities. Several of the vineyards are bed-and-breakfasts or offer cabins for close accommodations. Probably due to the presence of Southern Illinois University, Carbondale residents have a tradition of political activism. During the Vietnam War, and especially after the Kent State shootings, massive anti-war demonstrations took place on the SIU campus and on the streets of Carbondale. They resulted in the closure of SIU, more than $100,000 of property damage, more than 400 arrests,[22] and the deployment of the National Guard to restore order.[23] In 2011, the Occupy Movement took up residence on the lawn of Quigley Hall at Southern Illinois University, occasionally clashing with local police and with university policy. SIU's Faculty Association went to the picket lines on November 3, 2011, after an agreement could not be reached between the Association and the administration concerning contracts. The other unions—the Non-Tenure Track Faculty Association, the Association of Civil Service Employees, and Graduate Assistants United—all settled with the administration within hours of the picketing action. The Faculty Association came to an agreement with the administration on November 10.[24] The strike was the first ever in the school's history. Several local organizations are concerned with peace, justice and the environment, including the Peace Coalition of Southern Illinois/Fellowship of Reconciliation, the Shawnee Green Party, the Student Environmental Center, the Southern Illinois Center for a Sustainable Future, and local chapters of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Sierra Club, and the National Audubon Society. In 2001, the city was the location for the national Green Party Congress. An area near campus known as "The Strip" was also the site of several infamous riots on Halloween in the 1980s and 1990s. The last Halloween riot occurred in 2000, when students clashed with and were tear gassed by police. Property and trees in the area of The Strip were destroyed. After the 2000 riot, measures were taken to prevent violence on Halloween weekend. Campus and the bars along Southern Illinois Avenue were closed on Halloween in proceeding years. It should be noted that the Halloween riots were not in fact examples of activism and were not politically motivated, although the actions of the police during the 2000 riot later caused some political tensions. '''Transportation''' Highways The city of Carbondale sits on the intersection of U.S. Route 51 and Illinois Route 13. Interstate 57 is accessible to the east on Route 13 at Marion, and to the south on Rt. 51 near Dongola. Interstate 64 is accessible to the north on Rt. 51. Interstate 24 is accessible six miles south of Marion on I-57. The city is 331 highway miles from Chicago, Illinois, 96 highway miles from St. Louis, Missouri, and 213 highway miles from Memphis, Tennessee.[25] (A historical note, when Illinois originally developed the state highway system in the 1920s, what's now Rt. 51, was then Illinois Route 2 which ran the length of the state). Air service The city is twelve miles (19 km) away from the Williamson County Regional Airport, where one commercial airline service provides passenger service to St. Louis on four flights each day.[25] The Southern Illinois Airport is located northwest of the city and offers private aviation services and is home to SIU's aviation program. On April 2, 2010, state and university officials broke ground on a long-awaited Transportation Education Center on the airport grounds.[26] Rail service See also: Carbondale (Amtrak station) Amtrak, the US passenger rail system, provides service to Carbondale with three trains daily to and from Chicago, and one train daily to and from Memphis and New Orleans. Amtrak Train 59, the southbound City of New Orleans, departs Carbondale daily with service to Memphis, Jackson, and New Orleans (with many stations along the way). Amtrak Train 58, the northbound City of New Orleans, departs Carbondale daily with service to Centralia, Effingham, Mattoon, Champaign-Urbana, Kankakee, Homewood, and Chicago. Carbondale is also served by Amtrak Train 390/391, the Saluki, daily in the morning, and Amtrak Train 392/393, the Illini, daily in the afternoon/evening. Both the Saluki and the Illini operate to Chicago, originating and terminating in Carbondale.[27] Amtrak shares tracks with the Canadian National Railway which provides freight service to the city's industrial park. The railroad runs along the original line of the Illinois Central Railroad that began service in 1854 in Carbondale. Public transit The Saluki Express provides bus service around the city. SIUC students, faculty, and staff, as well as the greater Carbondale community, are encouraged to use the service. This system offers eleven routes operating seven days a week while the university is in session, and a "break route" operating during semester breaks.[28] Private transit Carbondale also has two licensed taxi companies, Yellow Cab and Ace Taxi. Greyhound offers intercity bus service from the BP Gas Station at 905 E. Main St.[29]

I'll be working on them, and could use your help. * My great, great grandfather was John Mahlon Carder. I've never been able to determine who his parents were or connect him to any other Carder line and am trying to find his parents or uncles or any relative that could lead to his parents. * To find the connections that link all of the Virginia, West Virginia, and Ohio Carders together. Most, if not all of these Carders can be traced back to one family in Culpeper County, Virginia. Linking them all together as one family would greatly help the majority of people researching their Carder ancestors. * To document all of the Carders. * To help each other. * Add information and sources to Carder profiles where needed whether it's your ancestor or not. Give your source for any information you add. * Consider becoming a profile manager on abandon Carder profiles. * Connect or add spouses, children, and parents when missing. Give the source for anyone you link or add. ==Members== [[Carder-47|Deborah Mayes]] [[Golden-2110|Patrick R.

I am [[Carder-47| Deborah Mayes]]. John Mahlon Carder was born about 1822 in Culpeper County, Virginia. He and his parents and siblings moved to Ohio in the mid 1830s where they remained the rest of their lives. I am certain that he is related to the other Carder families who descended from William and Sarah Carder who moved from Virginia to Fayette County, Ohio, Most of the Carders in West Virginia and Ohio originally came from Culpeper County and descend from William and Sarah or their children. I'm trying to find out where John Mahlon Carder fits into this family. * == Permilla (Carder) Golden== [[Carder-313|Permilla Carder]] is my 6th great grandmother. She married my direct paternal ancestor, [[Golden-1668|John Golden]], and through their son, Willis, my direct family line was born. Permilla was born either in Fauquier County or Culpeper County in 1749--or in 1750--or in 1765--and married prior to 1784 (presumably, since this is the birth year of their first child.) She was mentioned explicitly in [[Carder-476|Uriah Carder]]'s will as either "Milly" or "Milla," where she was bequeathed by her father the lordly sum of "one dollar to be paid to her or her heirs as hereinafter mentioned." Other records have her mis-identified as "Nellie Golden." Also in the will are mentioned Mary Carder, Susannah Carder, William Carder, and Lucy (Carder) Riffer. Any help on any of these Carders (or on John Golden, who is my brickwall) would be well and truly appreciated. I am [[Golden-2110| Patrick Golden]]. * ==John Abraham Carder== [[Carder-252| John Abraham Carder]] is my earliest known Carder ancestor. He was born 1767 in Culpeper Co., Va and died in Taylor Co., (now) West Virginia. He is believed to be the son of John & Francis Carder of Culpeper, Va. I am fascinated with the stories of his friendly interactions with the indigenous. Maybe we could all learn from his tolerance at a time when others never considered it.

Now fully radicalised by the words, thoughts and actions of George Brealey, the teenaged Fred became one of the growing tide of economic migrants heading for Cardiff and guaranteed employment. He found lodgings in Grangetown, the immigrant quarter of Cardiff, and employment with the Taff Valley railway company. Fred was initially employed as a brakeman, an activity which required him to the leap from coach to coach in order to manually apply the brakes when the train came to a halt. This was an inherently dangerous occupation and it is perhaps not surprising that in April 1871 he was in the Cardiff infirmary. Working at the infirmary as a nurse was recently widowed, 27 year old Frances Mary Nathan, another economic migrant born in Exeter. By 1873 they were married and living at 70 Hewell Street in the heart of Grangetown. The couple had two daughters both named after their mother. Frances Gertrude born in 1874 and Mary Eliza in 1875. Following the birth of the second child Frances Mary died leaving Fred a widower at the age of 23. Grangetown was expanding at an alarming rate, providing accommodation for the ever increasing tide of rootless economic migrants. This in turn brought the inevitable social problems, overcrowding, sanitation, disease, infant mortality, drunkenness, and lawlessness. Amidst the instability and uncertainties of a rapidly expanding, disparate community people are invariably attracted to religion.

Cariola Family Reunion

This is an experiment. Profile manager is trying to capture the full text of the obituary for [[Bade-123|Carl August Bade]] printed in the Pottstown Mercury on 5 Nov 2017. This is the text: "Carl Bade, 92, of Pottstown, Pennsylvania, passed away after a brief illness in the early hours of Saturday, October 21, 2017 at Pottstown Hospital, surrounded by family, including his wife Marie, sons, and grandsons. A long-time educator and voluntary service administrator with the United Church of Christ, Carl touched the lives of thousands throughout his decades-long career in the church, his community, and around the world. Carl August Bade was born December 6, 1924, in St. Louis, Missouri, to Carl W. Bade and Lena Gruendler Bade. After attending Mehlville High School, Carl was drafted into the Army in the final months of World War II and received the Purple Heart during service with the 75th Infantry Division at the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium. Following his discharge, he attended Washington University in St. Louis, obtaining Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in education. After volunteering with the Waldensian Church in northern Italy to help rebuild communities devastated by the war, Carl resolved to devote his life to service in the church, and studied theology at Eden Theological Seminary in St. Louis. He then embarked on a career in youth ministry with the Evangelical & Reformed Church, which later became the United Church of Christ (UCC). His early ministry led him to be chosen by the UCC Board for Homeland Ministries in 1954 to help start its Voluntary Service Program, which became the main focus of his career. Carl and his wife Marie moved to Pottstown, PA to work alongside volunteers to build the program’s training center. As the eventual Secretary of Voluntary Service, he spent many decades developing, coordinating, and leading a program that trained and placed thousands of volunteers throughout the US and around the world. Over the course of his thirty-seven years of service to the UCC, Carl also worked on many aspects of the church organization, including new church development, Christian Education, and the International Christian Youth Exchange. Carl had many leadership roles, including serving as Interim Director of the Division of Evangelism, Education, and Church Extension. As important as his work was in the church, Carl was just as devoted as a husband and father. Carl married Marie Hoefer on September 11, 1954. The couple welcomed three sons over the next four years: Steven Carl, Paul Martin, and David Edward. Throughout their sixty-three years of marriage, Carl and Marie were devoted to each other. They became active members of the Shenkel United Church of Christ, where Carl served on its consistory, participated in adult Sunday school, and sang in the choir Marie directed for many decades. They also had the chance to travel to dozens of countries on five continents, often visiting volunteers he had placed. In his retirement, Carl volunteered his time leading the Endowed Scholarship Program at Lancaster Theological Seminary for fifteen years, helped prepare tax returns for the elderly through the AARP, and served for many terms as the Democratic representative on the North Coventry Township Board of Elections. A supporter of numerous charities, Carl also continued serving on the boards of A Christian Ministry in the National Parks, Prisoner Visitation and Support, and the American Waldensian Society, and stayed active in the Pennsylvania Southeast Conference of the UCC. Carl is survived by his wife Marie; sons Steven Bade, MD (Kim) of Lebanon, PA, Paul Bade (Sheri) of Foster City, CA, and David Bade (Tami) of Fort Worth, TX and Tracy, CA; grandsons Jason Bade and Scott Bade, both of New York City; step-granddaughters Lindsay Edwards of Honolulu, HI and Brie Edwards Gillinger (Hans) of Salinas, CA; brothers William Bade (Norma) of Arnold, MO and Tom Bade (Vesta) of House Springs, MO; sister-in-law Diane Bade of Fenton, MO; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his brothers Raymond (Anna), Harold, and Edward. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to the Memorial Fund of Shenkel United Church of Christ (1580 Shenkel Road, Pottstown, PA 19465) or to the Carl A. and Marie H. Bade Scholarship Fund at Lancaster Theological Seminary (555 W. James Street, Lancaster, PA 17603). Two memorial services will be held: the first at Shenkel United Church of Christ in Pottstown, PA on November 12, 2017 at 3 pm (the family will receive friends at the church beginning at 2 pm); the second at the St. John’s Evangelical United Church of Christ in Mehlville, MO on December 9th, 2017. Arrangements are by the Schumacher & Benner Funeral Home & Crematory, at 359 King St. in Pottstown, PA. Our web site exists to serve the friends and family of the deceased.

[[Carle-128|Ephraim Carle (abt.1725-bef.1806)]]
[[Higgins-210|Ruth (Higgins) Carle (1728-1808)]] ----- ==Joseph Higgins, Will== The will of Joseph^3 Higgins, as abstracted by Katharine Chapin Higgins (emphasis added), from the 1918 work, [https://archive.org/details/richardhigginsre00higg/page/92/mode/1up?view=theater pg 92],

Joseph Higgins of the township of Amwell, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, in the western division of the State of New Jersey, weak in body, etc. Unto '''my two sons Joshua and Azariah''' all my homestead plantation,‐‐190 acres, to be equally divided between them, with my son Joshua having the house, barn and orchard where Joshua now dwells, and further my will is and I do order that my son Azariah can build a Barn and plant an orchard on his share of land. I order that my executors sell all my personal estate and after paying my debts pay unto '''my eldest son Jediah''' 25 lbs, and all the remainder to be divided between my three daughters '''now living''',‐‐namely '''Ruth Carle, Hannah Rittenhouse, and Elizabeth Holliday''', share and share alike. Son Joshua and son‐ in‐law Lott Rittenhouse executors. Witnesses: James Stout, John Young, Jacob Mattison.

By the time of her 1918 work Ms. Chapin Higgins ''had found'' certain wills that seem to provide other clues, but she opted not to follow those leads. For whatever reason, she interpreted the clues from other wills to suggest Azariah Higgins had had a wife earlier than Sarah Stout. See the 1918 write up about Azariah Higgins, pg 135‐6, pertinent part below:

In the will of Benjamin Runyan of Amwell dated Jan. 29, 1776 (File 994 J), he calls Azariah Higgins his brother in law. Joseph Hill, Jr. of Amwell in will dated April 7, 1773, calls Azariah Higgins his brother in law. Both of these wills are dated before the marriage of Azariah Higgins to Sarah Stout. Hence, he must have had a wife before Sarah Stout, or there were two Azariahs.

What may be contrary to the 1918 interpretation, these men, Joseph Hill, Jr. and Benjamin Runyan, both seem to have married unnoticed daughters of Joseph Higgins--Rachel and Nanne/Anna/Anne: ==Ephraim Carle, Will== As abstracted in 1918.

A record of Joseph Carle's birth has not been located. His wife, Maria Low, was born 23 February 1748, and their son, Dirck Lou "Richard L." Carle was baptized 8 June 1777. If Joseph was born about 1750 and married about 1775, he would have been about age 25 at the time of his marriage. See [[Carle-12|Joseph Carle (abt.1750-bef.1815)]] and [[Space:Early_Joseph_Carle_Family_Research|Early Joseph Carle Family Research]]. '''Son John Carle.''' He married (2) Sarah Ditmers, who was aged 69 on 25 October 1853, so born about 1784. Her affidavit in his Revolutionary War Pension file says he died 6 April 1833. They were married in Hamilton County, Ohio, 17 October 1827. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Pensions, report in his pension file, W 2523, states that at the time of his application, 15 April 1823, John was aged 67 years; then referred to his wife and "7 children 'of full age.'" (Thus born about 1756.) '''Son Ephraim Taylor Carle.''' From his Revolutionary War Pension file, sworn "That he was. born in Summersett County in the Collony of New Jersey on the 23rd day of December 1757." '''Daughter Rachel Carle.''' Called Rachel in one abstract of her father's 1805 will, and Rachel Stout in another. Presently lacking a reliable source for the date of her marriage, given otherwise as 14 November 1788. If she was 25 at the time of her marriage, then she was born about 1763. '''Son David Carle.''' A child. Charity Carle, is reported born to David and his wife on 1 June 1795, so he was married say 1794. If he was 25 at the time of his marriage, then David was born say about 1769. '''Daughter Elizabeth Carle.''' Her gravestone carries a birth date of 3 October 1772. She reportedly married 28 October 1795, and would then have been age 23. What more can we learn about this couple, because a 1958 cemetery reading reported on Elizabeth Trim, "Native of New Jersey" died age 87y, 6 August 1827. See Eleanor Dooks Bardes, Betty Heis Battistone, Hamilton County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society, Mary H. Remler, Jeffrey G. Herbert, ''Hamilton County, Ohio, Burial Records'', vol. 7, ''Springfield Township Cemeteries'' (2008); digital preview/snippet, Google Book Search, for "List of Inscriptions ... published in the Cincinnati Historical Society "Bulletin" 16 (3-1958):253-264. '''Daughter Ruth Carle.''' She reportedly married 18 June 1803. If she was then age 25, she would have been born about 1778. '''Rebecca Carle.''' Her tombstone reports she died 16 June 1839, age 50. If accurate, then she was born about 1779. == Sources == :See also-- *Need to add that Ephraim worked on the building of the Dutch Reformed Church in Neshanic.

(Welsh: Sir Gaerfyrddin) is a unitary authority county under the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994 effective April 1, 1996 located in the south-west of Wales. The largest towns are Llanelli, Carmarthen and Ammanford. It has been inhabited since prehistoric times. The town of Carmarthen was founded by the Romans. '''Dyfed County 1974-1996'''
Under the Local Government (Wales) Act 1972 Historic Carmarthenshire County was abolished effective April 1, 1974 and it became the newly formed Dyfed County. '''Historic Carmarthenshire County Until 1974'''
Carmarthenshire is one of the thirteen historic counties of Wales. It was a maritime county, bounded to the south by the Bristol Channel, to the west by Pembrokeshire County, to the north by Cardiganshire County, and to the east by Breconshire and Glamorgan Counties. Its government was established by the Local Government Act 1888. It is the largest of the thirteen historic counties. '''External Carmarthenshire Resources'''

== Carmel Baptist Church== Carmel church, situated about twelve miles southwest of Bowling Green, "was planted by S. Harris and J. Reed" in 1773. The first name of the church was Polecat, so called from its proximity to Polecat Creek. This name was changed to Burruss's church, in honor of Rev. John Burruss, the first pastor. Upon the erection of a new house of worship in 1838, on the present site, a new church constitution was adopted opening with these words: "This church is called and shall be known by the name of Burruss's Baptist Church of Christ at Mt. Carmel." The house erected in 1838 was burned in 1874. During the interval between these dates the name Mt. Carmel gradually took precedence over Burruss's and Mt. Carmel was finally adopted as the name. Later the "Mt." was dropped by a formal vote and Carmel became the name of the congregation. Among the families represented in the church during the first century of its existence may be named the following: Adams, Anderson, Allen, Abrams, Atkins, Acres, Brown, Burruss, Butzner, Boxley, Bibb, Broaddus, Butler, Blunt, Chiles, Cleere, Carter, Coleman, Chandler, Cobb, Carneal, Cannon, Davenport, Day, Dickenson, Dunn, DeJarnette, Estes, Enroughty, England, Flippo, Fletcher, Fox, Flagg, Gatewood, Goland, Goulding, Goodwin, Hewlett, Harris, Hargrave, Hackett, Holloway, Isbell, Kelly, Knote, Long, Luck, Middlebrook, Mills, Malone, McLaughlin, Matthews, Minor, Moncure, Montgomery, Madison, Miller, Mitchell, Newson, News, Patterson, Price, Pemberton, Peatross, Quarles, Reynolds, Redd, Richardson, Smith, Spearman, Stevens, Sacra, Swann, Southworth, Temple, Tisdale, Terrell,Trevilian, Tyler, Terry, Tinsley, Turner, Valentine, Wyatt, Woolfolk, Winston, Woodson, Waddey, Wright, Yarbrough. These names largely represent the membership of Carmel up to the beginning of the twentieth century. In the list are all the names of all the deacons, trustees, clerks, treasurers of the first 125 years. Nor does this list give the names of the colored members who out-numbered the white members three to one at times. For instance in 1809 there were 162 white and 342 colored members. There is no record of the slightest friction between the races. The first pastor was John Burruss who had associated with him John Waller. This pastorate continued twenty years and was followed by that of Dr. Andrew Broaddus who served as pastor for thirty years. Dr. Broaddus was followed by M. L. Jones, Rufus Chandler and Warren Woodson, in the order named. M. L. Jones returned in 1837 and served as pastor until 1841 and was succeeded by Samuel Harris. Samuel Harris was succeeded by the Rev. Messrs. Andrew Broaddus, James D. Coleman and Joseph Baker in the order named. In the sketch of Baker which appears in Taylor's Virginia Baptist Ministers it is recorded that he left "the upper country" (Winchester) and went down to "the lower country and assumed the pastorate of Burruss's Church in Caroline county." Both Baker and Jones died during their pastorates at Carmel. The Rev. Mr. Baker was succeeded in turn by W. D. Thomas, A. M. Poindexter, Charles H. Ryland, J. B. T. Patterson, P. B. Rennolds, E. G. Baptist, G. W. Reggan, E. W. Winfrey, Edmund Harrison, J. T. Betts, T. R. Carr, J. W. McCown, Hugh Goodwin, Hugh Musselman, L. D. Craddock, L. L. Gwaltney and W. D. Bremner, W. B. Carter and G. T. Terrell. During Mr. Ryland's pastorate the Federal troops riddled the church inside and turned it into a slaughter pen. A. M. Poindexter was a great orator and G. W. Reggan was a great scholar. L. L. Gwaltney became editor of the Alabama Baptist. The longest pastorates were those of Burruss, Waller and Broaddus. W. D. Bremner and M. L. Jones were pastors on two different occasions. Mr. Bremner served from 1905 to 1913 and from 1917 to 1924, when he removed to Gloucester. The following men have been ordained to the ministry from the membership of Carmel: Robert Tisdale, Rufus Chandler, John M. Waddy, Archibald Dick, William I. Chiles, Thomas H. Fox, John W. Walsh and Henry Wise Tribble. The minutes show that in the late sixties colored deacons were ordained, and that in 1868, "Elmore E. Taylor was granted a license to preach the gospel to persons of his own colour." When the building burned in 1874 the colored members erected a church of their own. The new house had no gallery for colored people. Practically all country churches with galleries were built prior to the Civil War. Carmel once owned an adjacent building, called Temperance Hall. It was the outgrowth of a organization known as the Temperance Society. By an irony of fate it was removed to Ruther Glen in the seventies and used for a saloon. In 1923 Carmel spent $5,000.00 in improvements on the building preparatory to the celebration of the 150th anniversary held that year. The location on the Telegraph road and at the fork of the Milford and Chilesburg roads is very desirable and the church prospers. The present membership is approximately 300. == Profiles == * [[Sacra-1|Abner Sacra (1790-aft.1840)]] * [[Sacra-45|Allie James Sacra (1895-1960)]] == Misc Notes == ===Allie Sacra=== son of Jim Sacra Allie Sacra (Document) Date: 4 Nov 1960 Location: Ruther Glen, Caroline County, Virginia, USA {{FindAGrave|35618318}} ===Links=== https://xtf.lib.virginia.edu/xtf/view?docId=2005_Q3_1/uvaBook/tei/b000958304.xml;query=;brand=default https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/150164/carmel-baptist-church-cemetery
