I54317: FLAALD FitzAlan Steward of Dol (ABT 1075

Notes

Flaald (or Flathald), hereditary Steward of Dol (in Wales in 1101)/

In France, in a little medieval town called Dol-de-Bretagne, there is a small museum in which the geneology of the Stuart clan is shown: FitzAlan-Flaad was born there. The local cathedral has distinct Cathar/Masonic symbols and two pillars, both different, are outside the church parvis. [- from an Internet correspondent, 8/98 - not verified] ^[S2295] ^[S2459]

Notes

The Reverend William Screven was born in 1629 in Somerton, Somersetshire. He died on Oct 10 1713 in Georgetown, South Carolina. The Reverend William Screven was an ordained Baptist minister, a sect that was unpopular in both England and New England. In 1681 He settled in Kittery, Maine, then a province of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and became associated with the first Baptist Church in Boston. On Jun 11 1681, he received from that church a license to preach. But he was apprehended for preaching, fined and imprisoned, and forbidden to preach any further. He would not desist, however, and was fined again, this time the sum of ten pounds, a considerable amount of money at that time. He was released from jail on that occasion only after he agreed to leave the colony.

A church had been constituted in Kittery on Sep 25 1682, with the Rev. Screven as pastor, but the majority left the colony and settled with him on the Cooper River a few miles from Charleston, South Carolina, at a spot they named Somerton, after Screven's home town. The exact location of this settlement is not now known.

Screven received a grant from the Crown for land located where Georgetown, South Carolina, is now and Screven moved there in 1693. He laid out the town, granted lots to several denominations, and sold several lots. He moved to Charleston in 1706, after the grant was disputed, and that year was called to the pastorate of the first Baptist Church in Boston. But he declined on account of age (he was then 77) and he returned to Georgetown where he died and is buried. The grave is still to be seen, in a lot located on Screven Street, which is named for him. After it was found in a dilapadated condition in 1867 or 1868, a group of Baptists raised the stone up onto brick work.

In his eulogy it was said of him that "He was pure in morals, sound in doctrine, abundant in exertion, tender and affectionate to all, honored and revered by all who knew him, and whether in persecution or success showing out of a good conversation his works with the meekness of Wisdom."

He was the author of a pamphlet entitled, "An Ornament for Church Members," but unfortunately not a single copy is now known to exist. He was married to Bridget Cutt on Jul 23 1674 in Kittery, Maine. Bridget Cutt was born in Kittery, Maine. Children were: i. William Screven II. Research, possibly related:
