4.9 ELME
We have found that the Helm/Helme/Helms, etc. surname name was
spelled several ways in England, Elme being one of them. It appears
that the practice was regional, pronounction varies also. Settlers coming
here from England brought the Elmes spelling to this country, although
often mixing it with Helme or other spellings. For instance, Christopher
Helme of Rhode Island and his descendants used the Helme spelling,
while records for his father in England are spelled Elme. Therefore,
we have collected much Elme material in our various searches. One
reason we have looked in early New England is that there have been reports
of Helmes there; whereas, most of the data we do find used the
Elme spelling, or variations thereof, rather than Helme.
This collection shows some of that.
The surname we are concentrating on in North Carolina was almost universally
spelled Helms. There are some spellings used in the North Carolina
data which go far afield such as Hellums, which does occur in Census
data. However, we do see the Elmes spelling in early South Carolina,
which also shows in this collection. There is much material on Elmes in
the Caribbean, and it is known that many American immigrants came here
after a stay in the Caribbean Islands.
It is correctly written that such spellings are sometimes an accident
of the recorder's knowledge or disposition, and were never seen by the
person involved. Good examples are Census data, and some Church records.
Not everyone was schooled then, and there was not a universal spelling
for names. Since we have not been able, so far, to forge the direct link
of the North Carolina Helms with their European beginnings, and
since there were early Elmes here in DE, MD. VA, SC, MA, and other
Colonies who might have been an unrecognized source, we have accumulated
Elme, and other such data for study. Even Nelmes which occurs
in VA, is one possibility. Elme data occurs in other sections of
this website.
As for the use of the name for locations we have run into a number of
sources which mention a place such as Helme, Elm, de Elme,
or the Elms. Some writers have even associated the Helmes,
etc with woodlands like the area just south of London referred to as the
Elms. See the hangings below. One History of Lancashire mentions
the place Helme, now Elmridge, as the seat
of the Lancashire Helme family.
It is in these several connections that the following material is offered."

Chapter 5: Quaker Ranters, Baptist Schismatics, and Indians with Tongues
Running Out (1657-1675)
xxx The number of people charged and fined for Quaker activity, or for
refusing to take the Oath of Fidelity, which in most cases at this time
amounted to the same thing, multiplied without cease. Though Sandwich
seemed to be the home of the greatest number, converts were made in all
[p.93] towns. Repressive measures did not stop them, but seemed to aid
their growth. On 2 October 1660, twenty-four people were fined ten shillings
each for being at Quaker meetings, and these included John Soule of Duxbury,
Rodulphus Elmes of Scituate, and John and Deborah Smith and Lydia
Hickes of Plymouth. On 1 June 1658 the General Court appointed a special
marshal for Sandwich, George Barlow, with jurisdiction also at Barnstable
and Yarmouth, to assist the county marshal, meaning to see that the laws
against Quakers were kept. On 2 October 1660 the court further spelled
out Barlow's responsibilities and expanded his jurisdiction, ordering
that "marshal Gorge Barlow shall have libertie to apprehend any forraigne
Quaker or Quakers in any pte of this Jurisdiction and to be procecuted
according to order provided in that case." Barlow carried out his
functions apparently with relish, and a number of claims were made against
him, such as on 13 June 1660 when Thomas Clarke "affeirmed in open
Court, that Gorg Barlow is such an one that hee is a shame and reproach
to all his masters; and that hee, the said Barlow, stands convicted and
recorded of a lye att Newberry." A number of men were fined for refusing
to assist Barlow in the execution of his office, including Sandwich's
eminent citizen, Mr. Edmond Freeman, who was fined ten shillings on 6
October 1659.8

Part Two: Topical Narratives
Chapter 10: Land and Inheritance
xxx There were several grants of large tracts of land to proprietors
who had been instrumental in developing the colony. The four Adventurers
who had joined in 1627 with the eight Plymouth men to form the Undertakers-Richard
Andrews, John Beauchamp, James Sherley, and Timothy Hatherly-had been
promised land in the area of Scituate. On 1 July 1633 the General Court
ordered that the whole tract of land between Scituate and Conihasset be
left undisposed of until these four men presented their wishes. On 3 October
1637 the General Court gave further definition to their grant, provided
that it did not prejudice the town of Scituate. Mr. Hatherly, one of the
few Adventurers to settle in Plymouth Colony, was already a resident of
Scituate, and was one of the Assistants. In a deed of 1 December 1646,
Timothy Hatherly noted that he had acquired the shares of Andrews and
Beauchamp, while Sherley's part of the tract had been divided into thirty
equal shares. Hatherly divided his three quarters of the tract into thirty
parts, retaining three himself, and selling for £108 the other twenty-seven
parts to Charles Chauncy, Thomas Chambers, John Williams, James Cudworth,
Joseph Tilden, Henry Merritt, Thomas Rawlins, Thomas Tarte, John Hoar,
Richard Sillis, Thomas Ensign, Thomas Chittenden, John Stockbridge, John
Allin, Thomas Hiland, John Whitcomb, John Woodfield, Edward Jenkins, John
Hollet, Ann Vinall, William Holmes, John Weston, Gowen White, John
Daman, Rodolphus Elmes, and Richard Mann; Joseph Tilden received
two shares, and the rest one share each.9

The living is a rectory, in the archdeaconry and diocese of Oxford, rated
in the king's books at £21. 1. 3., and in the patronage of the Bishop
of Rochester. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, is a spacious and handsome
structure, chiefly in the decorated and later English styles; in the walls
are some portions of chequered work in flint and chalk: it has a fine
tower, erected at the expense of Cardinal Wolsey, and some good tracery
in the east window of the chancel. The present north aisle appears to
have formerly constituted the body of the church; in the north part of
the chancel are indications of the original altar, with two canopied niches,
in one of which is a recess, formerly used for the eucharist. A large
sepulchral chapel, or chantry, founded by the family of Elmes,
was, in 1820, converted into a vestry-room and library, and contains many
valuable works in Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and the oriental languages, with
various historical publications, the liberal bequest of Dean Aldrich,
rector of Henley, who died in 1737, and to this library all the inhabitants
who pay church rates have free access, being likewise permitted, on certain
conditions specified by the donor, to take away the books for perusal.
In the chancel is a handsome monument, with a recumbent effigy of Lady
Elizabeth Periam, the benefactress to Balliol College, Oxford: there are
also monuments to Dr. Cawley, father of Lady Kneller, who died in 1709,
and to Mr. William Hayward, of Shrewsbury, the architect of Henley bridge:
in a vault on the south side are deposited the remains of General Dumouriez,
so celebrated in the revolutionary history of France. Richard Jennings,
the “Master Builder of St. Paul's Cathedral,” who died at Badgemore,
near this town, lies interred in the church-yard. There are places of
worship, in the town and environs, for Baptists, the Society of Friends,
and Independents. A grammar school was founded, in 1604, by James I.,
and endowed with the proceeds of certain church lands and other property,
partly bequeathed by Augustine Knapp, and its funds were subsequently
augmented by a benefaction from William Gravett, in 1664. A Blue coat
school, for educating, clothing, and apprenticing twenty boys, was founded,
in 1609, by Lady Elizabeth Periam; and in 1774 these two schools were
united by act of parliament, and their incomes consolidated, amounting
at present to about £360 per annum, the two foundations to be called
the “United Charity Schools in Henley,” being placed under the
direction of trustees, who were incorporated, and invested with the right
of a common seal, and other privileges. The schools are [p.363] still
kept separately: the upper school, for the instruction of twenty-five
boys in Latin and Greek, is under a master, who has a salary of £70
per annum; and the lower school, for sixty boys, under a master whose
salary is £60, and an usher with £40 per annum. A Green school,
for six boys and six girls, was founded in 1717, in consequence of a bequest
by Mr. John Stevens, and subsequently endowed with property producing
£54 per annum; and there is a National school, supported by voluntary
contributions, and at present containing one hundred and eighty boys and
one hundred girls. An almshouse for five poor men, and an adjoining house
for three poor women, who receive a weekly allowance of three shillings
each, were founded and endowed by John Longland, Bishop of Lincoln, in
1547, and are under the management of the corporation. There are ten almshouses
for poor persons, founded and endowed with a bequest by Humphrey Newbury,
in 1664; and four for poor widows, founded in 1743, by Mrs. Ann Messenger;
and numerous other charities are at the disposal of the bridgemen, and
the mayor and corporation. A savings-bank was established in 1817.

LULLINGTON, a parish in the hundred of REPTON and GRESLEY, county of DERBY,

NOTTINGHAM, a borough, market town, and county of itself, locally in the
county of Nottingham, of which it is the chief town, 124 miles (N.N.W.)
from London, containing, with the extra-parochial liberty of Standard
Hill, and the limits of the castle, which are in the south division of
the wapen-take of Broxtow, 40,415 inhabitants. This place, from the numerous
caverns and subterraneous dwellings excavated in the sandy rock on which
it is situated, was by the Saxons called Snottinga ham, or place of caverns,
of which its present name is only a slight modification. According to
the Saxon Chronicle, the Danes, having in one of their numerous predatory
incursions made themselves masters of the town, in 868, were attacked
by Burrhed, King of Mercia, who, having obtained the assistance of King
Ethelred I. and his brother Alfred, afterwards Alfred the Great, compelled
the invaders to conclude a treaty of peace, and to retire to York. The
town having subsequently suffered material injury from their renewed attempts
to take possession of it, in which they were frequently successful, was
fortified with a wall by Edward the Elder, who in 910 built a bridge over
the river Trent. In 924, the town was repaired on the south side, towards
the river, but soon after fell again into the hands of the Danes, who
retained it till they were finally subdued by Edmund, in 940. In the reign
of Edward the Confessor, Tosti, brother of Harold, had considerable possessions
in Nottingham, which at that time contained one hundred and ninety-two
burgesses; but this number, at the time of the Conquest, had decreased
to one hundred and twenty. The Conqueror, in order to keep his new subjects
in awe, erected on the site of the ancient fort a formidable castle, the
government of which he conferred on William Peverel, his natural son:
this castle, from its situation on the summit of a bold eminence, rising
perpendicularly from the river Leen, and from the strength of its fortifications,
was regarded as impregnable, and the town was at the same time strongly
fortified. During the war between Stephen and Matilda, Nottingham was
besieged by the Earl of Gloucester, who having gained possession of it,
plundered and burnt it, and in a few years after it experienced a similar
calamity from the partisans of the young prince Henry, in his rebellion
against his father, Henry II. On the death of the prince, and the consequent
pacification of the kingdom, the king greatly contributed to the rebuilding
of the town; and to reward the fidelity and loyalty of the inhabitants,
granted them a charter, by which he confirmed all the privileges they
enjoyed under Henry I. Richard I., previously to his embarking in the
crusades, assembled a parliament here, to deliberate upon the requisite
measures for the administration of the government during his absence,
which was entrusted to his younger brother John, in whose attempts to
usurp the dominion, the castle was alternately in the possession of his
partisans and of those of his absent brother, by whom, on returning from
his captivity in Germany, it was finally reduced. Richard, on taking possession
of the throne, held another parliament in this town, in which he demanded
justice against the unnatural usurpation of his brother John, whom, however,
he ultimately pardoned. In the reign of John the town and castle were
unsuccessfully assaulted by the confederate barons, who had invited the
Dauphin of France to accept the English crown. In the early part of the
reign of Edward III., Mortimer, Earl of March, and the queen dowager Isabel,
resided in the castle, which was strongly fortified; but a party of noblemen
in the interest of the king, having obtained entrance through a subterranean
passage which led to the keep, surprised that nobleman in an apartment
adjoining the queen's, and having seized him, conveyed him to London,
when, being convicted of high treason, he was hanged at Elmes.
In the same reign a parliament was held here, which passed the first enactments
for prohibiting the exportation of English wool, and for encouraging foreign
manufacturers to settle in the kingdom. David Bruce, who had been made
prisoner at the battle of Durham, was for some time confined in the castle,
previously to his removal to London; and in 1386, Richard II. held a council
here, the members of which having declared the proceedings of the parliament
which had impeached his ministers to be illegal, were after-wards accused
of treason by the House of Commons, and many of them executed. In 1461,
Edward IV., after landing at Ravenspur in Yorkshire, assembled his forces
in this town, where he caused himself to be proclaimed king, and made
extensive additions to the castle, which were completed by Richard III.,
who marched hence with his forces to Bosworth Field. Henry VII. held a
council of war here previously to the battle of Stoke, in which the rebels
who had espoused the pretensions of Lambert Simnel were defeated, with
the loss of four thousand men.

STURMINSTER-MARSHALL, a parish in the hundred of COGDEAN, Shaston (East)
division of the county of DORSET, 5 miles (W.) from Wimborne-Minster,
containing, with the tything of Coombe-Almer, 715 inhabitants. The living
is a vicarage, with the perpetual curacy of Lytchett-Minster annexed,
in the jurisdiction of the peculiar court of Sturminster-Marshall, rated
in the king's books at £31. 5., and in the patronage of the Provost
and Fellows of Eton College. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, is a spacious
structure, with an embattled tower, a remarkably large chancel, and, at
the west end of the north aisle, an apartment partitioned off with wainscoting,
for holding the peculiar court. The navigable river Stour bounds the parish
on the north-east, and is there crossed by Whitmill bridge, of eight arches.
In the centre of the village is an open space, still called the market-place,
though no market has been held within the memory of man. Early in the
reign of Henry I., a fair was granted to William, Earl of Pembroke, then
Earl Marshal, from whom the place probably obtained its distinguishing
appellation, the name itself being derived from the church, or minster,
on the river Stour. A charity school is well supported by annual subscriptions.
Cogdean-Elmes, an eminence in this parish, near which are several
barrows and some large elms, gives name to the hundred, the courts
of which were anciently held upon it.
