153 year old Cross-Stitch Sampler made by my gg grandmother

Dear FamilyTreeCircle Members, Hi there.

Due to the wonders of modern technology today, I was sent an email of a mobile phone photograph, taken in Cornwall, of a cross-stitch sampler made by my grandfather's grandmother. Her name was Isabella Milne BUCHAN and when she was 15 years old in 1853, she created this sampler. Sampler depicted animals at The Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace in 1851.

As I live in Australia, this is most remarkable that a descendant could have a family treasure like this and eventually get to share it with me in the year 2006. I feel so lucky today. Just thought I'd share it with you.

I also wonder if anyone else has similar samplers in their family trees?

Cheers,
Al.

A grizzly tale ... the Execution of Edward AMOR & John GOODMAN at Devizes, Wiltshire

EXTRACT FROM THE TIMES PUBLISHED SATURDAY 24TH APRIL 1824

EXECUTION OF EDWARD AMOR AND JOHN GOODMAN, AT DEVIZES
[From the Devizes Gazette]

On Tuesday last these two unfortunate men, convicted of robbing and brutally assaulting Mr. Thomas ALEXANDER, of Allcannings, were executed in front of the Penitentiary, near this town. The number of people assembled to witness the awful scene, we should think, amounted to from 20 to 30,000; indeed, it appeared as if the whole county had poured forth its contents. Long before the hour appointed, the large yard before the prison, and the adjoining road, for a long space, were entirely filled. Being the first execution that has taken place in this neighbourhood, its occurring on Easter Tuesday, and Devizes Green Fair being held on that day, all tended to increase the number of spectators.

Within a few minutes after 12 the unhappy creatures were relieved of their irons; and shortly afterwards they were brought from their cells, preceded by Mr. BUSH, (the Under Sheriff), Mr. DOWDING (the Governor of the county gaol), Mr. COCKS (the Governor of the Penitentiary), and the Rev. Mr. MAYO (the Chaplain); the latter gentleman very impressively reading parts of the funeral service as he proceeded to the place of execution. AMOR, on entering the prison-yard, gave a vacant stare around him, and then fixed his eyes intently on the ground. This poor fellow, we understand, was extremely illiterate; and his countenance would indicate that he was equally devoid of feeling as of understanding; but, although very strongly built, his legs, as he walked, appeared to sink under him, and on the drop they could scarcely support him. GOODMAN?s countenance, on the contrary, betrayed an intensity of feeling; yet he walked firm and erect. We occasionally saw a tear trickle down his cheek, but he struggled hard to suppress it. This man had been a sergeant in the 3d, or Prince of Wales?s, Dragoon Guards; and, to the last, showed the entire mien of a soldier. He had been in various battles during the Peninsular war, and lost an eye in Egypt; in consequence of which he obtained his discharge in November, 1818, after being in the army 19 years and seven days; having entered at the early age of 20. He received a pension of 15d a day; and as a proof of his good character while in the army, he was entitled to the benefit of a fund, called St. George?s Fund, to which all the non-commissioned officers, drummers, and privates, contribute, and which is divided amongst those discharged from the regiment without ever having been disgraced. GOODMAN also kept an evening school at Allcannings, and had formerly worked at the trade of a sawyer. Up to the period of committing the crime for which he was to suffer, he bore the character of an honest man, but was sadly addicted to drinking.

The Rev. Chaplain now, with a solemnity that we are incapable of describing, thus addressed GOODMAN and AMOR:- ?John GOODMAN and Edward AMOR, I now require of you, and each of you, as you will in a few moments have to answer at the dreadful bar of the Almighty, are you guilty of the crime of which you have been charged, or are you not guilty?? GOODMAN immediately replied, in a voice that could be heard throughout the immense crowd, ?Not guilty!? AMOR faintly said, ?I say so too? ? on which GOODMAN urged him to speak out. He then said in a louder tone, ?I say so too ? Not Guilty, Gentlemen, Sir? (as if confused). GOODMAN afterwards addressed the spectators in the following words: Good people, before I leave this world I wish to say a few words to you. I shall not tell a lie, nor do I wish to smother the truth, but for the last time I declare that I never beat Mr. Thomas Alexander, nor did I rob him, on the 24th of December; nor do I know who did.? He then with uplifted eyes, repeated in a firm voice, the Lord?s prayer after the rev. chaplain; he also joined fervently in other prayers; and even when the cap was over his face, we could perceive the motion of his lips. AMOR, too, prayed that God would be merciful to him. The chaplain proceeded reading the burial service, and as he uttered the words, ?In the midst of life we are in death,? the fatal signal was given, and their earthly career was in an instant closed for ever!

The bodies, after hanging an hour, were cut down, and in the evening delivered to their friends.

APPS family from Bearstead, Kent, England

My tree starts from the top as follows:-

William APPS~ born 1814 Bearstead *, Kent, England
married June Qtr 1846 Harriett BOLTON born 1816 Maidstone, Kent, England. Harriett was the daughter of George BOLTON b 1781 The Folly, Kent and Sarah born 1791 The Folly, Kent, England. This was Harriett's 2nd marriage.

William & Harriett APPS had 7 children:-

1.John APPS born 1847 Bearstead, Kent, England
2.William APPS born 1851 Bearstead, Kent, England
3.Thomas APPS born 1853 Bearstead, Kent, England
4.Sarah APPS born 1855 Bearstead, Kent, England
5.Elizabeth Frances APPS born 1860 Bearstead, Kent, England
6.Emma Jane APPS born 1861 Bearstead, Kent, England
7.Isaac APPS 1864-1872 Bearstead, Kent, England. DEATH: Death registration 1872 Maidstone AMJ quarter 2a 328, Isaac Apps aged 9.

*GEOGRAPHY: Bearsted is an ancient village in mid-Kent to the east, and some five miles (7km) from the centre, of Maidstone. The village lies between Maidstone and Ashford. Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia.

~DEATH: This looks like William's death registration. 1866 Maidstone JAS quarter 2a 296 - William Apps Aged 51.

On the 1841 census there are several entries for William Apps born in Kent c1816 (with age rounded down). It is not possible to be sure which one of them might be ours. Interestingly, however, there is a William Apps aged 65 who is an Agricultural Labourer living on his own at Rose Acre Street, Bearsted, which is where William and Harriet were living in 1861. It might just be coincidence or he might be a relation. (Maidstone, Loose HO107/456/7 Folio 17 Page 2)

The probable marriage registration for William Apps and Harriet Cheeseman is 1846 Maidstone AMJ quarter 5 402. Harriet?s maiden name was probably Bolton. There are two indications why this should be so. On the 1851 census her daughter, Eliza, is aged 8 suggesting a birth in 1843. On FreeBMD there is a possible marriage in 1843 Maidstone AMJ quarter 5 369 between William Cheeseman and Harriet Bolton. Also, on the 1851 census there is a Mary Bolton, Sister in Law living in the same household as William and Harriet. She apparently has a son called George (aged 1).

DEATH: There are quiet a few search results for Harriet APPS at http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ One in particular has Harriet Apps aged 60, died 1876 which would fit this one.









Harriett BOLTON first married William CHEESEMAN and it is assumed that he died c1845. [Marriage Source: There is also a marriage for a HARRIET BOLTON in 2nd Quarter 1843 in Maidstone district, one of the other names on the page is WILLIAM CHEESEMAN, Volume 5 Page 369].

William & Harriett CHEESEMAN had one daughter, Eliza CHEESEMAN born 1842 Boughton under Blean, Kent, England. It is known that she married 1864 in the Parish Church, Maidstone District, Kent, England to Stephen HUGHES born 1838 Kent, England and the couple emigrated to New Zealand. More about this family can be found in my HUGHES/CHEESEMAN journals.
