180 The Autobiography of Archbishop Thomas Seeker FOLIO 75 (1767) Vaudois were the Waldenses, a Christian community of the reformed tradition, living chiefly in Piedmont in the mountainous valleys of the Pied de Vaud. They were not at this time subject to active political persecution and their religion was tolerated, but they were still not allowed to hold real property and were liable to local harrassment. The fund was to relieve their poverty, and assist their education. Brief for the American Colleges: see fol. 57. the Lord Chancellor: Lord Camden. Lord President: Robert Henley (1708?-1772), created earl of Northington in 1764. He had served as lord chancellor under several administrations from 1761 to 1766 when his resignation brought about the fall of Rockingham, and was lord president of the council July 1766 to December 1767. A man of violent temper and addicted to swearing, he was, according to Lord Eldon, "a great lawyer, and very firm in delivering his opinion." With George III he was a great favorite (G. E. C., Complete Peerage). Mr Amory: Thomas Amory (1701-1774), who had been trained at the dissenting academy in Taunton and had studied, in common with Seeker, under John Eames in London. After 1759 he was preacher and co-pastor of several London nonconformist congregations and a leader in the agitation amongst dissenters against their subscribing the doctrinal articles of the established church. He was granted a D.D. by Edinburgh in 1768, the same year in which his edition of Samuel Chandler's sermons was published together with a memoir of his life. Theologically he was an "Arian of the Clarkeian school" (McLachlan, English Education, pp. 74-75). Mr Seekers son George: Mr. Seeker the elder (also George) died as rector of All Hallows the Great, London. There is no further information available on the archbishop's godson. Mrs Price: the widow of Roger Price, who had first been a chaplain on the coast of Guinea, a missionary to Jamaica at one time and more recently a parochial clergyman in Massachusetts [London Guildhall MS 9550, fol. 125; W.W. Manross, The Fulham Papers in the Lambeth Palace Library: American Colonial Section Calendar and Indexes (Oxford, 1965), pp. 68, 75, 77, 236-37].
Notes 181 Mr Wade is difficult of identification and could be either Captain Ferral Wade or Matthew Wade. For Ferral see Calendar of Sir William Johnson Manuscripts . . . in the New York State Library, comp. Richard E. Day, (Albany, 1909), pp. 153, 163, 247, 265 and Papers of Sir William Johnson (Albany, 1921), V, p. 618; VI, p. 677. For Matthew see Calendar of Sir William Johnson Manuscripts, pp. 221, 438 and Papers of Sir William Johnson, VII, p. 131. The payments can be dated, L.RL. MS 1483, fol. 243: "1767, April 13, to Mr Wade (had £1.1.0 before) £2.2.0; 55 "May 21, To Mr Wade from America (I fear thrown away) £30.0.0." From the style of writing Captain Ferral Wade seems the more likely person. Sir William Johnson or Johnston (1715-1774) had been appointed Superintendent of Indian Affairs in North America in 1755, the same year in which he was given a grant of £5000 and created baronet for his victory against the French forces attempting to invade New York (D.A.B.). FOLIO 76 (1767) Sir Wm Johnsons son and successor in the baronetcy was Sir John Johnson (1742-1830) who was to command a regiment of loyalist provincials ("Johnson's Greens") during the American war of independence (G. E. C., Complete Baronetage). one Devigny and one De Boyer: no precise identification of these French prisoners has been found, but they were possibly prisoners for debt. In 1759 Seeker had, through Jonas Hanway, contributed fairly generously to the clothing of French prisoners of war, and kept a copy of the printed proceedings of the committee. Queens Bounty or Queen Anne's Bounty was the fund formed in 1704 to receive the first fruits and tenths confiscated to the crown in the reformation under Henry VIII. It was used to augment the livings of poorer Anglican clergy. Mr Martell cannot be identified, although he was probably a recent emigre. In 1767 M. Dumese de St. Pierre led a number of French and German Protestants to occupy lands granted them by the government at Cape Sable in Nova Scotia (Hirsch, Huguenots of Colonial South Carolina, p. 42). Duke approved my Conduct: but not very heartily. Newcastle reminded the archbishop of the importance of keeping up his credit at court and elsewhere (B.L. Add. MS 32,982, fol. 138: Seeker to Newcastle, 26 May, 1767; fol. 262: Newcastle to Seeker, 9 June).
