Galles Copyright, 2013, Duane L.C.M. Galles 1661), who settled in Salem, Massachusetts, about 1638. The next baronet was Sir George Downing (1623-1684), son of Massachusetts Founder Emmanuel Downing and his wife Lucy Winthrop, sister of Massachusetts Governor John Winthrop. Sir George was a graduate in 1642 of Harvard College, and after this Harvard graduate and real estate developer Downing Street in London is named. Sir John Davie, of New London and Groton, Connecticut, was the third baronet noted. His eponymous grandfather in 1641 was created a baronet and in 1706 the Harvard-educated grandson succeeded to the baronetcy. The Fall, 2000, issue of the Bulletin published the first part of the story of “The Baronets of New England.” Research in heraldry and biography and related subjects had received a fillip during the American Civil War, and the New England Historic Genealogical Society, established in 1845, was determined to make its contributions to that war effort. One was the creation in 1864 of its Committee on Heraldry. Southerners had long maintained that, while the early Founders of Virginia and the Carolinas were scions of cavaliers, the Founders of New England were yeomen and religious zealots. The Committee on Heraldry was established to research the gentry origins of New England’s Founders and their quarterly publication, The Heraldic Journal, was founded to make known the fruits of this research; it did so—rather copiously—for four years from 1865 through 1868. In England baronets were first created in 1611. A sort of hereditary knighthood, King James I proposed to create two hundred of them from among gentlemen of suitable estate and lineage. The recipient got the title of “Sir” and might add his degree of baronet after his name. Baronets had precedence after barons’ younger sons and their eldest son was to have the right to a knighthood at the age of twenty-one. To his arms as an augmentation of honor the baronet might add the badge of Ulster, a bloody hand couped on a silver canton. Some baronets also got a grant of armorial supporters which would be a further augmentation of honour to their coat of arms. In exchange for these honors the recipient had to pay for the upkeep of thirty infantrymen in Ulster to repel the Irish rebels there or pay over to the royal exchequer the equivalent sum of £1095. A further £1200 had to be expended in fees to secure the patent of appointment. In the preface to the first volume of The Heraldic Journal, the Committee proclaimed, “we hope that the present volume has fully demonstrated that…the founders of New England were not derived from the lowest classes in England.” In the next sentence—somewhat disclosing the real purpose of their endeavor as well as evincing a whiff of Darwinism—the Committee added, “hereafter it may be an important question to discuss, to what extent the prosperity of New England, and even the whole country, has depended upon the stock here first established.”1 Indeed, historians writing at Harvard College (or others trained there) would soon begin suggesting that American history began with the advent on The Mayflower of the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth Rock and then moved via Manifest Destiny in more or less a straight line to the Pacific, ‘from sea to shining sea.’ Following this first essay into armorial research the Committee on Heraldry would later undertake the work for which it is today known, when in 1928 it began the publication of its New England Roll of Arms. Today a baronetcy is a coveted honour. A century ago a British Prime Minister upon retirement from that office could expect an earldom. Nowadays, when hereditary honours are rarely granted,3 Mrs. Margaret Thatcher, upon her retirement as Prime Minister, was pleased to receive a life peerage as Baroness Thatcher for herself and a baronetcy for her husband. Inasmuch as we are now marking the sesquicentenary of the American Civil War and, in particular, this year marks the sesquicentenary of the great Battle of Gettysburg, it seems fitting now to continue the story of the Baronets of New England, a story first told in The Heraldic Journal.2 Part One told the story of three Founders, the first of whom was Sir Henry Moody (c. 1607- But four hundred years ago the market for the then new degree of baronetcy was not so brisk. After an initial flurry of excitement about the new dignity in which seventeen “gentlemen of first quality” vied for the honor of becoming the premier baronet of England, interest in the new degree waned. The economic dislocations set in train by the collapse in 1617 of Alderman Cock- 5 ayne’s scheme to corner the dressed and dyed woolen cloth export market and the following year the advent of the Thirty Years War depressed the price of baronetcies even further to £200 and after 1619 it appears that some persons not gentlemen of first quality received patents. In 1623 the Court of the Earl Marshall accused one new Shropshire baronet of “baseness and other bad qualities”. arms. It consisted of a silver fleur-de-lis on a red canton and, also by way of augmentation, he received a crest, an arm embowed proper grasping a staff thereon a flag argent issuing out of a mural crown proper with three laurel leaves between the battlements.5 His badge of Ulster for the baronetcy was thus a second augmentation. He died in 1759, his only son Andrew having pre-deceased him in 1751. His daughter Elizabeth had married Nathaniel Sparhawk of Boston and their son William assumed the name and arms of Pepperell and was created a baronet in 1774. The second Sir William’s wife was Elizabeth, daughter of the Hon. Isaac Royal of Medford, Massachusetts, and their only son, William Royal Pepperell, died in 1798. Thus, the second Pepperell baronetcy became extinct with his death in 1816.6 To support the value of the new honour in the marketplace King James had promised that the new honour would be a limited edition of 200. But the financial exigencies faced by his son King Charles I induced him to violate the promised limit of 200 baronetcies and during his troubled reign, which lasted from 1623 to 1649, he created 458 new baronets, including one baronetess–for a lady, Mrs. Mary Bolles. By the reign of George III, who created 525 baronets, the honor had become the standard reward for political services. In the eighteenth century most colonial governors who were not already peers got a baronetcy. The French wars of the eighteenth century (sometimes called the Second Hundred Years’ War), as we shall see, also gave rise to a number of baronetcies. In 1741 Boston received a new resident, who five years later would succeed his uncle and become Sir Charles Henry Frankland, fourth baronet of Thirkelby, Yorkshire. Sir Charles’s father, Henry, had died in 1738 as governor of the East India Company’s factory in Bengal. The son, using the connection of his baronet uncle who was a Lord of the Admiralty, obtained for himself the lucrative posts of naval officer and collector of customs of the Port of Boston. Sir Charles, who had had the choice of the posts of Governor of Massachusetts or Collector of Boston, chose the latter post, which he executed by deputy, and retained it until 1757, when he was appointed Consul General at Lisbon (where he in 1755 had survived the famous earthquake there). Later he retired to Bath where he died on 11 January 1768. Whilst in Boston he became a leader of society there, and he reported to the Duke of Newcastle that “this is the finest Country & Climate I ever saw,” but, he added, “yet I begin to grow sick of the people.” Fortunately his sickness resolved once his eyes beheld a certain woman of that country. In 1755 he married Agnes Surriage, originally of Marblehead, Massachusetts, who about 1742 had borne him a natural son, Henry Cromwell. Following the death of Sir Charles she had returned to Boston, but during the American Revolution Lady Frankland moved to England and there she died in Chichester on 23 April 1783. Sir Charles was succeeded by his brother, Sir Thomas Frankland, who also traded on his uncle’s position in the Admiralty and eventually rose to the rank of admiral in the Royal Navy. The future fifth baronet had visited his brother Charles in Boston whilst commanding a frigate off the Florida and Carolina coasts and in 1743 he himself married an American, Sarah, daughter of Judge Joshua Rhett of South Carolina. The Frankland Sir Thomas Temple (1614-1674) was borne at Stowe, Buchinghamshire, the second son of Sir John Temple. In 1657 he acquired Charles La Tour’s claims to Acadia and promoted its colonization. In 1662 Charles II made him a baronet of Nova Scotia, but in 1667 by the Treaty of Breda England surrendered Acadia to France and Temple’s lands there were lost. He lived in Boston from 1667 to1670 and prospered there, but then returned to England where he died. On his armorial seal were two black bars each charged with three golden martlets on a silver field. His nephew, John Nelson of Boston (NER317),4 was the heir to his property, but the baronetcy became extinct. Also struggling against the French was the prominent Massachusetts business and military leader, Sir William Pepperell (1696-1759). His father, also William, was from Tavistock, Cornwall, and had settled in Kittery, Maine, where he acquired a large fortune as a merchant. Son William was likewise a successful merchant and a member of the Massachusetts Council for thirty-two years. The family arms consisted of a red chevron between three green pineapples (pine cones) on a silver field (NER28). In 1746 he led the New England forces at the British capture from the French of Louisburg on Cape Breton and, for his services, he was granted a baronetcy and an augmentation of honor to his coat of arms by the English kings of 6 family bore Azure a dolphin nainant Or on a chief of the second two saltires Gules (NER132). ed at Harvard College, Governor John Wentworth (1732-1820) of New Hampshire was the scion of a distinguished family which had provided three governors to that royal province. At the American Revolution, he was loyal to the Crown and, for his loyalty, he was created a baronet in 1795. The Wentworths bore Sable a chevron between three leopards’ faces Or (NER44). In 1796 he was awarded as an augmentation of honour two keys to be borne on the chevron of his arms in token of his fidelity. From 1792 to 1808 His Excellency served as Governor of Nova Scotia. Governor Francis Bernard (1712-1779) of Massachusetts Bay was an English barrister who served as royal governor of that province from 1760 to 1769. He had previously been governor of New Jersey from 1758 to 1760. His term as governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay was troubled by the writs of assistance controversy and by colonial opposition to the Sugar Act (1763) and Stamp Act (1765) and the Townsend Acts (1767). Recalled from Massachusetts, complaints against him were examined and rejected by the Privy Council and for his services he was created a baronet. His son John, educated at Harvard, remained in New England and became the second baronet and so he too would have augmented with a badge of Ulster the canting Bernard arms, which were blazoned Argent a bear rampant Sable muzzled and collared Or (NER130). Another New England loyalist with distinguished service was Sir Isaac Coffin (1759-1839). Born in Boston of an old New England family founded by Tristram Coffin (1605-1681), he was educated at the Boston Latin School and entered the Royal Navy in 1773, rising to the rank of Rear Admiral in 1804. At this time he was created a baronet, Coffin of the Magdalen Islands in North America. In 1832 he was made a Knight Grand Cross of the Guelphic Order of Hanover. He bore Azure semé of cross crosslets Orin the center two batons in saltire encircled with laurel branches of the second between three plates. The crest, granted and confirmed in 1804 with remainder to the descendants of his father, Nathaniel Coffin, was the stern of a man of war Or thereon a hooded dove wings elevated and in the bill a branch of olive proper.8 Sir Robert Hesilrigge (today Hazelrigg and a baron), eighth baronet, married at Braintree, Massachusetts, in 1754 Sarah, daughter of The Rev’d Nathaniel Walter of Roxbury, Massachusetts. His mother, née Hannah Sturges, had inspired the character of Pamela in the first English novel of that name by Richardson. Lady Sarah Hesilrigge was buried at Trinity Church, Boston, on May 10, 1775. Sir Robert returned to England and died between 1797 and 1805. He was succeeded by his son Sir Arthur Hesilrigge (1756-1805), who was born in Massachusetts in 1756. Sir Arthur was in the service of the East India Company, last serving as a judge in Bengal, where he died sine prole. This Northumberland family bore canting arms, Argent a chevron between three leaves Vert (NER284). Major General Sir David Ochterlony, baronet, Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath (1758-1825) was a native of Boston, the son of David Ochterlony and his wife Katherine Tyler. Her mother Miriam was the sister of Sir William Pepperell and Katherine’s first husband, David Ochterlony, was a Scot, being the second son of the Laird of Pitforthy) who had settled in Boston. After the death of her first husband in 1765, Katherine Tyler married Isaac Heard (1730-1822), who became Garter King of Arms in 1784 and two years later was knighted. Educated at Boston Latin School, in 1777 the future General entered the army of the East India Company as an ensign and began a brilliant military career, fighting the Marathas and the Gurkhas in India. In 1816 his victories in India won him a baronetcy, the grand cross of the Order of the Bath, and an augmentation of honor. His arms were Azure a lion rampant Argent holding in its paws a trident erect Or and charged on the shoulder with a key, the wards upwards, of the first. By way of augmentation was added in chief Or two banners crossed in saltire the one of the Mahratta states Vert inscribed “Delhi’ and the other of the Sir Charles Burdett (1728-1803) of Burthwaite, Yorkshire, became fourth baronet in 1760 upon the death without issue of his brother. In 1770 at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, he married the Boston widow, Sarah Phillips (c. 1735-1812), daughter of Joseph Halsey. He removed to Saint Augustine in East Florida where he was Collector of Customs from 1763 to 1783 and a member of the Council there. He died in 1803 and was succeeded by his American-born son, Lt. Col. Sir Charles Wyndham Burdett (1771-1839), who became a Companion of the Bath in 1803 and died in Colombo, Ceylon. The Burdetts bore paly of six Argent and Sable on a bend Gules three martlets Or (NER615). Another colonial governor (as well as native New Englander) was Sir John Wentworth. Educat- 7 states of Nepal, the staves broken and encircled by a wreath of laurel proper. The Ochterlony crest was a swan, wings elevated argent, collared , the chain reflexed over the back and ducally crowned Or, and charged on the breast with a rose Gules. By way of augmentation was added a second crest: Out of an eastern coronet, the rim inscribed “Nepaul’, an arm embowed, habited Gules and cuft Azure, the hand grasping a baton wreathed with laurel proper. Sir David’s brother Alexander, born in Boston 11 December 1764, was the first American native, it might be added, to wear a tabard. Appropriately given the ramping silver lion of his coat of arms, in 1784 he was made a member of London’s College of Arms, being created Blanche Lion Pursuivant, perhaps through the good offices of his mother’s second husband, then Garter King of Arms. tween branches of laurel and oak proper. In 1810 in Quebec Sheaffe had married Margaret, daughter of John Coffin, a cousin of Sir Isaac Coffin. Their several children predeceased him and so upon his death the baronetcy became extinct.9 Another American to win honours through service in the Royal Navy was Captain Jahleel Brenton (1770-1844). Scion of a distinguished Rhode Island family founded by William Brenton, sometime Governor of Rhode Island, Jahleel rose to the rank of Rear Admiral in the Royal Navy and received a baronetcy in 1812. He 1815 he was also made a Knight Commander of the Bath. His father, also Jahleel (1729-1802), was also an officer in the Royal Navy who rose to the rank of Rear Admiral, and so in his arms the ship of the line proper on a gold canton upon the red shield charged with a lion with two tails between three martlets, all silver, is probably a reference with to family profession. The grant made the arms and crest available to all the descendants of the grantee’s grandfather. But the crest included a silver swan gutty sanguine issuant from a golden naval crown inscribed ‘Spartan,’ and this special naval crown was restricted to the grantee and his descendants. Thus, the inscribed naval crown, which recalled the victory of his ship the Spartan over the French Cires off Naples in 1810 was a crest of augmentation with a special limitation of descent to the grantee and his descendants (NER91). 10 Also born in Boston was Sir Roger Hale Sheaffe (1763-1851). He was the son of William Sheaffe (1706-1771), educated at Harvard College and deputy collector of customs there, and Susannah Child of Boston. Sir Roger’s namesake, Roger Hale, had been a trusted London customs official in 1762 sent to Boston as Collector to resolve problems there. Caught in a crossfire between Governor Bernard and Hale’s superior, Surveyor General of the Customs John Temple (1731-1798), the unfortunate official found his position on Boston untenable and he returned the following year to England. His loyal deputy named his firstborn in his honor. After his father’s early death in 1773, young Roger became the protégé of Lord Percy, who happened to be taking rooms in the Boston boarding house maintained by Roger’s mother. Through Percy’s influence, Roger was appointed ensign in the 55th Regiment of Foot, which served in Ireland and later Canada. Promoted successively in rank, by 1798 he had risen to lieutenant colonel. He also served in Europe before returning to Canada, where during the War of 1812 at the Battle of Queenstown in 1813 he served under Sir Isaac Brock, who was slain there. After Brock’s demise the American forces captured the town, but thereafter Sheaffe retook it and for this feat Sheaffe was given a baronetcy. His canting arms referenced his victory: on an azure field rested three golden garbs in fess between two silver bars with two lion’s heads erminois in chief and in base a mullet ensigned with a mural crown argent. The two lion in chief presumably symbolized the victory of the royal forces under Brock and Sheaffe over their republican enemy, represented by the star. The crest was a cubit arm vested gules and cuft vert grasping a silver sword hilted gold be- John Temple (1731-1798), born in Boston the son of Captain Robert Temple (1694-1754) and his wife Mehitabel Nelson of Boston, might also be included in the list of baronets of New England. However, he is not recognized as eighth baronet Temple of Stowe by the authoritative Complete Baronetage by George Edward Cockayne, which does note that his maternal grandfather John Nelson (NER317) was the son of Robert Nelson by his wife Mary Temple who was the daughter of Sir John Temple (noted above), the second son of Sir Thomas Temple, 1st baronet Temple of Stowe, who bore Two black bars charged with three golden martlets on a silver field. In 1761 the Boston-born John Temple (whose father had come to Boston from Ireland in 1717) was appointed Lieutenant Governor of New Hampshire and Surveyor General of His Majesty’s Customs for the Northern Department. It was he who harried Roger Hale out of the land and battled Governor Bernard. In 1767 he married Elizabeth, daughter of James Bowdoin (later Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts), and Temple became allied with the populist faction in Massachusetts. In 1767 8 when parliament created the American Board of Customs with headquarters in Boston, Temple became one of its five commissioners. He argued for a ‘practical’ policy which would be solicitous of the practical mercantile needs of Americans. The other commissioners favored a more vigorous policy, and Temple was recalled to England in 1770 and dismissed in 1774. His American experience and connections proved useful, however, the following decade, and he returned to America in 1785 as British Consul General in New York, remaining there until his death. Upon the death of Sir Richard Temple (1731-1786), seventh baronet Temple of Stowe, the Boston-born John Temple laid claim to the baronetcy (as eighth baronet), as would, after his death in 1798, his Boston-born son, Grenville Temple (1768-1829).11 1.

Perhaps, by reason of geography if not of nativity, the baronetcy of Sir Philip Bowes Vere Broke (1776-1841) of Broke Hall, Suffolk, might be considered “of New England” for that is where is was earned off Boston two centuries ago during the War of 1812. On 1 June 1813 HMS Shannon encountered the USS Chesapeake under the command of Captain Joseph Lawrence (1781-1813) out of Boston. In command of Shannon of 38 guns since 1806 was Captain Broke. In 1811 he had introduced the novel idea of gunnery practice and the upshot of the encounter of the two ships was that in fifteen minutes Chesapeake had sustained one hundred casualties and Broke boarded her with fifty men and the battle was won. Ironically it was the Chesapeake’s dying Captain Lawrence who bequeathed to the United States Navy the motto, “Don’t give up the ship.” For the British captain there was a heap of honours. He was made a Knight Commander of the Bath and created a baronet. Moreover, recognizing his “distinguished Zeal, Courage, and Intrepidity,” a royal warrant was issued authorizing an augmentation of honour in order that “his faithful and zealous exertions in His Majesty’s Service may be commemorated and transmitted to Posterity.” The augmentation of honour consisted of a special crest and was blazoned Issuant from a naval crown Or a dexter arms embowed encircled by a wreath of laurel proper the band also proper grasping a trident erect of the first…together with the Motto, Saevumque tridentem servamus. 5.

Beckwith notes that the fleur-de-lis, drawn from the French royal arms, was a symbolic reference to Pepperrell’s victory at Louisburg. The crest was likewise of that character. Mural crowns are commonly granted to victorious military leaders. A plain white flag was used by French land and sea forces. The laurel leaves were doubtless a reference to a hero’s laurel chaplet.

From Connecticut, along with myself, were associates and past state governors, Dr. Charles Lucas and Ken Roach. Several important items were discussed in the business meetings. The most important item of discussion was the potential change in membership rules. The proposed change was to allow membership from all 8 grandparent lines, instead of the current 5. After some discussion the item was tabled, effectively killing it. Others items of business, centered around securing a new publisher for the OFPA Bulletin, and the establishment of a committee for planning future General Courts.

The Cadet is chosen through the school, and receives the OFPA Service Bar and Certificate at his/her school’s Awards Ceremony. This same program is duplicated in Illinois by the Illinois Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Other OFPA Societies that also participate at the state level are CT and VA. Illinois is the only State Society, however, that encompasses all state JROTC programs.

This event was reported in the Bulletin at the time. The Tennessee State Museum invited the Society to attend the opening of a new traveling exhibit, “Discovering the Civil War,” a project of the National Archives, which opened in Nashville on President Lincoln’s birthday, February 12. The Society gratefully accepted the invitation. It was an extraordinary exhibit, featuring rare letters, diaries, photos, maps and other artifacts of the War. The centerpiece of the exhibition was the Emancipation Proclamation. To view this iconic document in the quiet of the Tennessee State Museum was a privilege. It is difficult to find the right words to describe the experience. New Associate John H. Cooper, Jr. (center) accepts his diploma from Society Registrar E. DuBose Blakeney III (left) and Governor Capers W. McDonald during the Society’s Spring Court held in historic Pompion Hill Chapel. This brick chapel was built in 1763 by early French Huguenot colonists, replacing a prior cypress wood chapel from 1703. With its name meaning “Pumpkin Hill,” the chapel is located on the East Branch of the Cooper River in Berkeley County, SC, between Middleburg (1697) and Longwood plantations. SC Counsellor Robert H. Lockwood III, owner of Longwood Plantation, graciously hosted the court. Nashville is the only Southeastern venue for the “Discovering the Civil War” Exhibit. However, the Exhibit will be making other stops across our great land, so readers are encouraged to check for Exhibition locations in other sections of the country. We are a small Society, so we place a great deal of emphasis on annual ROTC awards ceremonies. This year, we recognized two SROTC and three JROTC cadets. We awarded medals and certificates to Army and Air Force cadets at the University of Tennessee—Knoxville. As is customary, Col. Jack King Westbrook, Charter Governor and a World War II aviator, signed their certificates. We also awarded medals and certificates to the JROTC programs at Alvin C. York Institute, Jamestowne, Tennessee (one award), and Horn Lake High School, Horn Lake, Mississippi (two awards). We’ve presented an award to the Alvin York Institute every year since the Society was chartered. The JROTC program at Horn Lake is an “all-Marine” program. This was the second year that we have recognized cadets from this program. Accompanying this article is a photo of one of the Horn Lake recipients, Cadet Ximena Miranda, and (Capt.) Lenore Vollmar, one of the program’s community boosters. TENNESSEE The Tennessee State Museum in Nashville is host to a number of outstanding traveling exhibits, and since 2008 the Tennessee Society has received invitations for the opening of every new exhibit. The first invitation was for the unveiling of North Carolina’s copy of the Bill of Rights (in 2008). Each of the original thirteen colonies received a “duplicate” original of the Bill of Rights, and having North Carolina’s copy on loan here, in Tennessee, was a WASHINGTON The second place winner for the Best ROTC College Program in the USA, among 272 colleges for 2013 was the Pacific Lutheran University near Seattle, Washington. The OFPA Presenter was George Cook. See the attached photo and dialog. 22 The First Place ROTC College Program was Notre Dame University. That Award will be presented at Half Time at the Opening Football Game in the Fall. Governor General Charles Hampton has planned to make this presentation for the OFPA. WISCONSIN On 21 May 2013, the Wisconsin Society held its traditional Annual meeting in the elegant setting of the Deutscher Room of the Wisconsin Club in downtown Milwaukee. Associates and guests from Wisconsin and Minnesota gathered for good fellowship, excellent food, wine and an entertaining talk by Governor Curtis.
