Because William Addington was the writer’s great, great grandfather, it is of his descendants that much of the subject matter of this history and genealogy is about. Special space is given to his son, Charles Cromwell Addington, who lived to a late age, thus increasing the accessibility of information about this family—which, through two generations, children, and grandchildren, became connected by marriage with many large families. Equally interesting information is given about other branches of the family of Addington of both England and the United States. An index of more than 2,000 names has been added to the reprint of this publication.
Brief vital data, arranged alphabetically, of descendants of Henry Addington (1720-1789), originally from London, England; and his wife Sarah (1723-1826) from England. They lived in Pennsylvania, Virginia and South Carolina. Sarah died in Richmond, Indiana. Descendants and relatives lived in Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Arizona, California, Idaho, Washington and elsewhere.
This book is part of the Images of England series, which uses old photographs and archived images to show the history of various local areas in England, through their streets, shops, pubs, and people.
This edition is the first to reproduce John Addington Symonds's Memoirs in its entirety. It offers a panoramic view of middle-class Victorian life, shedding light upon sexual cultures and life histories too often hidden from history. Symonds (1840-93) began writing his Memoirs in 1889. It was, he confessed, 'a foolish thing to do.' Symonds was a respected man of letters, an historian, translator, essayist and poet; he was also married with children. But rather than unfold a simple tale of public and private achievement, the Memoirs record his struggle to reconcile his homosexuality with these professional and familial identities. His autobiography offers a confessional account of relationships beyond the accepted bounds of nineteenth-century social mores, presenting an alternative case study that contests the legal and medical authorities that would label his desires a crime or disease. Yet being so eloquent on matters of heterodox sexuality, the Memoirs were suppressed. The manuscript survives because Symonds recognised its import, however 'foolish': he instructed his literary executor to preserve the text, a duty ultimately discharged by placing the manuscript under embargo in the care of the London Library.
Before the Crown was absolutely offered to William, the Convention was eager to reform a number of the most prominent abuses of the last reign. It was shown by the wiser leaders among them that such reforms would entail a mass of legislation which, to be done well, must occupy several years. It was therefore determined that, for the present, a solemn declaration of principles only should be drawn up. This is known as the Declaration of Right. In it, after enumerating the evils from which the country had suffered, the Lords and Commons declared that the dispensing power does not exist, that without grant or consent of Parliament no money can be exacted by the sovereign, and no army kept up in time of peace...
Family history of Harry Vern Addington (1893-1930), son of Joseph Leander and Dora Elizabeth (Feagans) Addington, who was born in White River Twp., Randolph Co., Indiana. He married Alma Marguerite Chalfant (1905-1979) in 1922. The Addington and Feagans families were of English or Irish origin. Both families were very early settlers in Randolph County. The Addingtons arrived there about 1835 and the Feagans about 1838. The patriarch of this family, Henry Addington, was probably born in London in 1720, and immigrated to North America ca. 1740. He lived in Loudoun Co., Virginia in 1765, and moved his family between 1768 and 1774 to Union Co., South Carolina, where he received a land grant in 1774. Descendants and relatives lived in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Idaho, Utah, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Maryland, Colorado, Oregon, California and elsewhere.
