Beckford of Fonthill

Few men attained greater celebrity during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries than William Beckford (1760—1844), the wealthiest man in England. With enormous wealth as his Aladdin's lamp, he decided to make his Arabian dreams come true. By the time he died at the venerable age of 84, he had built the loftiest domestic residence in the world, had assembled a virtual harem of boys, had his own militia to protect his Fonthill estate of 6,000 acres, had written the first Oriental-Gothic horror novel in English literature, and had become the most scandalous connoisseur of hedonism in the modern world. His society bemusedly tolerated most eccentrics — even nouveau riche ones — but they chose to ostracize this remarkable personality, dubbing him "The Fool of Fonthill."

Beckford's father, twice Lord Mayor of London, was the richest man in England, with extensive holdings in the cloth industry, property, government bonds, and sugar plantations. As a result, Beckford received a brilliant education, and was widely learned in French, Latin, Greek, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, philosophy, law, literature and physics by the age of 17. His private piano teacher was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart — at least that is the legend, too romantic to be discouraged. He was being brought up as an empire builder, but his father died when Beckford was only ten, leaving him with no political ambition, and a millionaire's taste for pleasure.

The Roots of North East England

Bede, the famous Anglo-Saxon scholar was born at Sunderland near the mouth of the River Wear and lived most of his life at Jarrow on the River Tyne. Bede would be familiar with many words still used in the dialect of North East England today. And yet he lived 60 years before the first Viking raids and 130 years before the Viking conquest of Northern England...

Place names



Acaster Malbis (Yorkshire)
Acaster means the site of a Roman fort which was later aquired by and Anglo-Saxon called Aca. After the Norman conquest the manor was owned by the Malbis family.


Aldbrough St John (Yorkshire)

Place names containing the elements borough, brough or burgh, more often than not refer to ancient fortified settlements or manors and should not be interpreted in the modern sense of the word borough. The North Yorkshire villages of Aldbrough St John near Darlington and Aldborough near Boroughbridge both have the same meaning despite their slightly different spellings. Both names are Anglo-Saxon and mean 'old burgh' - an old fortified site. In pre-Saxon times both places were tribal strongholds associated with the Brigantes. The Brigantes were Welsh-speaking ancient Britons who occupied most of Yorkshire and South Durham. The Brigantes were the largest single tribe in Roman Britain. When the Romans first arrived in northern Britain, the fort of Stanwick near Albrough St John was the most important stronghold of the Brigantes. It was the Brigantian Queen, Cartimandua who handed over the British rebel Caractacus to the Romans in the year 51 AD. This infuriated her husband Venutius who captured the stronghold and rebelled against the Romans. The Romans forced the Brigantes to abandon the fort in 73 AD. As the Romans gradually took control of northern Britain, the Brigantes were surpressed and a Roman town called Isurium was built at the Brigantian tribal capital of Aldborough near Boroughbridge.

Balder, River (County Durham)

This may be a Viking river name and may relate to the Norse God Balder, who was the god of light.


Bamburgh (Northumberland)

The village of Bamburgh with its famous castle on the north Northumberland coast was the capital of the Kingdom of Northumbria, an Anglo-Saxon province that stretched from the River Humber to the Firth of Forth. Like the City of York, which was also a one-time capital of Northumbria, Bamburgh claims to be one of the longest continuously inhabited places in the British Isles. In pre-Saxon times Bamburgh was a Celtic stonghold and was known by its Celtic name Din Guayrdi. Supporters of the legend of King Arthur have associated this early name with Joyous Guard, the castle of Sir Lancelot, who was one of Arthur's Celtic Knights of the Round Table. There is no evidence for this, but Arthur is said to have fought the invading Anglo-Saxons in the north of England. History records that in 547 AD, an Anglo-Saxon King called Ida the Flamebearer captured Din Guayrdi from the Celts and made the fortified site the capital of a Kingdom called Bernicia. Later this site was acquired by Aethelfrith, King of Northumbria who named the fort or burgh after his wife Bebba. Over the years the name Bebba's Burgh has been corrupted to Bamburgh.


Baldersby (Yorkshire)

The place belonging to a Viking settler called Balder.


Beckwithshaw (Yorkshire)

This name derives from the Viking words Beck and Vith meaning stream and wood. The last element 'shaw' is an anglo-Saxon word for a wood.


Crackpot (Yorkshire)

Crackpot can be found in Swaledale and has two parts to its name, both of which occur in a number of other Northern place names. In 1298 the place was called Crakepot and its name derives from the Old English ‘Kraka’, a crow and the Viking word ‘Pot’. A ‘pot’ was usually a cavity or deep hole often in the bed of a river, but in Crackpot's case refers to a rift in the limestone. Pot also occurs in the place name Potto near Hutton Rudby, Sand Pot near Northallerton and in Pot Hall and the Pot Beck near Masham. The word is still used in Swedish dialects today. Crake meaning crow occurs in many place names throughout the North, although Crayke near Easingwold derives from the old Celtic word ‘Kraik’ meaning ‘rock’. This also occurs in the form Craig. Sometimes places containing the word Crake result from a person’s name. Crakehill, near Dishforth for example means the hill belonging to a Viking called Craca. Crakethorn near Pickering means the thorn bushes frequented by crows and this may also be the meaning of Crathorne near Yarm. Crows were also abundant further north and were found at Crawcrook - the crook of land inhabited by crows. Craster on the Northumberland coast was originally called Crawcestere and refers to an abandoned fort inhabited by crows.

Long Branch

Long Branch was built around 1805 by Robert Carter Burwell, a member of a group of descendants of Tidewater tobacco planters who moved to the Shenandoah Valley at the end of the eighteenth century. Settling on land granted to them in 1730 by an ancestor, Robert 'King" Carter, they built large and well-appointed houses and raised tobacco and wheat with slave labor. This new plantation society revolved around the village of Millwood, with its store, blacksmith's shop and grist mill.
Robert Carter Burwell consulted Benjamin Henry Latrobe, the noted architect of the U.S. Capitol, as he drew up plans for his new home on a rise above the Long Branch creek, Whether Burwell was able to finish the house and live there is not known; he led a company of militia to fight in the War of 1812 and died of disease at a camp near Norfolk in September 1813.
In his will, Burwell left Long Branch to his sister and brother-in-law, Sarah and Philip Nelson. Philip Nelson was a son of Thomas Nelson Jr., signer of the Declaration of Independence and governor of Virginia during the Revolutionary War, Philip Nelson was a vestryman, justice of the peace and owned up to 33 slaves. He and his wife raised a large family and operated a girl's school at Long Branch.

Fauntleroy, Red Gate, Robert Owen & New Harmony


Robert Henry Fauntleroy (1806-1849)


In 1827, Robert Henry Fauntleroy moved from Virginia to New Harmony, Indiana. There he married Jane Dale Owen, one of the five children of social reformer Robert Owen, who had purchased the town in 1825. As an engineer, Fauntleroy was awarded patents for two inventions...

The name Fauntleroy is well known in modern New Harmony, and The Old Fauntleroy Home is visited by hundreds tourists each year...

Unfortunately, some New Harmony histories have given misleading genealogical accounts. These can be corrected by reference to The Fauntleroy Family, privately published by Robert Harrison Fauntleroy in 1952.
Joseph Fauntleroy, son of Griffin Murdock Fauntleroy and Anne Belfield, was born in 1784 and died in 1832. He inherited from his father the 500 acre plantation in Richmond County [Virginia] called "Mars Hill" in 1794, and in 1810 he sold it to Peter Northen, and moved to Clarke Co. [then Frederick Co.]. In 1811 he married his first cousin, Emily Carter Fauntleroy, daughter of Joseph Fauntleroy and Elizabeth Fouchee Fauntleroy, of "Greenville," Clarke County. In 1827 he sold his property in Clarke County, freed his slaves, and went to New Harmony, Indiana... He took with him his wife and their eight children and two of his freed Negro slaves, and they were accompanied by four of Emily Carter Fauntleroy's brothers, [including] Robert Henry Fauntleroy.
Robert Henry Fauntleroy was born in 1806 at Greenville, the son of Joseph Fauntleroy (1754-1815) and his cousin, Elizabeth Fouchee Fauntleroy (1772-1824). His father (son of William Fauntleroy and Margaret Murcock) was a different Joseph from the one who moved to New Harmony. The first Greenville dwelling was built in 1795 by Robert's father. At present, on or near the site of the Greenville house is a later historic house called Red Gate: "Today the lovely painted white brick home is nestled in old boxwoods and has an expanisve panorama of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Clarke County farmland." - from Annals of Clarke County, Virginia, v. 1, by Stuart E. Brown, Jr., 1983.
The wedding of Robert Henry Fauntleroy and Jane Dale Owen, on March 23, 1835, can be compared to that Robert Dale Owen, Jane's older brother. Both weddings took place at home in New Harmony and were not registered in official Posey County records. The earlier wedding has been described elsewhere, and R. D. Owen's defiant statement on his wedding day perhaps speaks also for his sister's wedding three years later. (A note written by Ellinor Fauntleroy Davidson, in the Davidson Papers, Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley, may be the only record of the location of her parents' wedding as New Harmony.)

BINNS VS SIBYL BECKWITH (M6818) 1828

On 1 January 1820 BINNS wanted to hire a Negro woman. He met with Jennings BECKWITH who was the son of Sibyl and it was decided that the slave woman Alcey would be the one to go to work for BINNS. BECKWITH assured BINNS that the woman was sound and healthy and not pregnant. A price of $30.00 was set. Her hire was good until 25 December of that year. Soon afterward it was discovered that Alcey was preg. And was soon unfit for labor. BINNS complained to BECKWITH who basically said too bad and indicated that BINNS would have to support Alcey and pay the midwife's fee.

Some Ancestors of James Pierson Beckwourth, Black Shakespeare

Some ancestors of JPB:
Abraham, Patriarch to Israel, Islam and Christianity- 67th ggf
King Alfred - 30th ggf
King Arviragus - 51st ggf
A personage who has come to our attention in the writings of Juvenal, who mentions him in connection with resistance to Roman conquest and authority. Geoffrey of Monmouth refers to him as a British king whose brother was killed sometime during Claudius' invasion (43 AD). He has been linked with Caratacus, but more interestingly, he is said by the interpolators of William of Malmesbury's "De Antiquitate Glastoniensis Ecclesiae" to be the king who granted 12 hides of land around Glastonbury to Joseph of Arimathea and his band of followers, when they brought Christianity to Britain for the first time in 63 AD.

Some scholars think that it may have been Arviragus and his people who occupied the ancient hillfort, located in the county of Somerset, known as Cadbury Castle (which would later come to be associated with King Arthur), and used it as a base for their resistance against the Romans.

Medieval Literature

Sarah Beckwith works on late medieval religious writing. She is particularly interested in middle English religious writing in its fully cultural dimensions and in the intersections of writing and religious practice. She has published on Margery Kempe, the literature of anchoritism, medieval theatre and sacramental culture, in numerous essay collections and journals such as the South Atlantic Quarterly and Exemplaria. Her book, Christ's Body: Identity, Religion and Society in Medieval English Writing was published by Routledge in 1993. Her book, Signifying God: Social Relation and Symbolic Act in York's Play of Corpus Christi was published by the University of Chicago Press in the summer of 2001. Her next book, How to Do Words with Things, is a book of essays which explores the implications of Wittgensteinianism and ordinary language philosophy in medieval drama and culture. She is also beginning research on a book spanning the middle ages and Renaissance on childhood and revenge. She is co-editor of JMEMS.

188 TOM JONES (1745) - CARR'S TOM JONES
Fairfax Harrison's Early American Turf Stock, volume 2, pages 53 and 54, says - 'Because no record was made of his breeding while he was on the turf, Pick, duly noting his age and turf form, gave him the coat and breeding of Larkin's Tom Jones, b. c. 1743 (not 1745) by Crofts' Partner, of which a full record had been made by both Heber & Pond. The consequence was that GSB (i, 216), entering the Larkin colt among the produce of his dam, was led
astray by Pick and gave him the date of the Carr colt' Fairfax Harrison's Early American Turf Stock, volume 2, page 54, says - '[Tayloe's] Tom Jones [br. c. 1758] was bred by Col. John Tayloe of Virginia: he was got by Sir Marmaduke
Beckwith's horse of the same name (that was the property of Mr. Carr, he won a King's Plate and some Fifties)' also '[Beckwith's] Tom Jones was got by [Carr's] Cyprus: his dam by Mr. Crofts' Bloody Buttocks Arabian' also 'To these testimonies for breeding is added the Rappahannock River tradition (recorded in 1826 by Advocate in AF, x, 71, No 18) that the Tom Jones imp. by Sir Marmaduke Beckwith 'in the year 1755' was a gr. c.'

Alexander Graham Bell House...near Bleak Hall
http://www.thebellhouse.com/



Colonial Beach did have some good memories, though most of them were of hope. When we first moved to Colonial Beach, it was something new and exciting. It was a wow, this is great! So close to the water, and in the country too! Memories of fishing, the huge house we stayed in, the ducks, being able to buy fireworks, Rusty leaving a tan spot on the wood deck furniture, biking for hours and hours, playing baseball against my brother (because there was NOBODY else to play with). Of course, this hope would be dashed as the cruel reality of Colonial Beach actually hit, but it was fun to remember first driving into what was then called Bleak Hall (now Harbor View Colony).

[1831] Daniel resided at "Bleak Hall", on the South side of Mattox Creek, containing 1000 acres, which he bought before his father's death. He owned a great deal of land, as is indicated by the following deeds. The writer (Brooke Payne) has been told
by old residents in Westmoreland that Daniel Payne used to remark that he could walk from the Potomac to the Rappahannock without setting foot off his own property. His father left him the Glebe (Church Point) and also 535 acres near Leedstown
originally owned by Richard Payne and purchased 1795 by said John Payne from his brother William Payne. 1818 Daniel Payne bought "Laurel Grove" from Alexander Morson, who had it from Bushrod Washington; this estate adjoined Bleak Hall. 1831 he
purchased from Mrs. Mary Lee 185 acres on Mattox Creek adjacent to Bleak Hall and Laurel Grove. 1832 he bought Locust Farm and Oak Grove, 4000 acres on Mattox Creek. In the same year he and Henry T. Garnett bought from John Gray three tracts,
including "Wakefield", the birth-place of General Washington, and an island in Pope's Creek. Mr. Gray had purchased Wakefield in 1813 from George Corbin Washington, who reserved a plot 60 by 60 feet around the site of the house, and another
plot 20 by 20 feet around the tomb. 1835 Mr. Garnett sold to Daniel Payne for $8250 his share in Wakefield. Following Daniel Payne's death, his executors sold Wakefield to John E. Wilson.
