Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1797 a list of "Apprentices and Freedom" was advertised: "Belcher Zachariah rule maker Purchase knife maker Freedom 1797." Zachariah Belcher married Martha Harborne and they have six sons and three daughter who thrive. With the Napoleonic Wars over in Europe and the English Industrial Revolution and the Belcher Rule business underway in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, the state of the economy and the quality of life is at issue as machines have been replacing workers, sowing strife and hardship in England. Zachariah and Martha Belcher make a decision to commit their family to America. Five sons and a married daughter leave Sheffield for New York and New Jersey in the 1820's never to be seen again by their parents or first born, John Belcher, "Iron Man" of the family. This book brings to light my family genealogy as well as a century long family labor in Rule Making to find success and happiness through "Belcher Brothers & Cos." Not all the Belchers and their descendants worked the family business as they follow their own ways to self-actualize beyond the New York City and New Jersey area. My great grandfather was a farmer in Duxbury, Massachusetts and then bookkeeper for Oliver Edes & Son, zinc manufacturers in neighboring Plymouth. My grandfather, Arthur William Belcher, grew up with his siblings in Plymouth, graduating from Harvard College in the Class of 1904 and later earned an M.A. from Colombia returning to the Belcher Brothers home area in Essex County, New Jersey as Principal of Newark, New Jersey's South Side High School 1929-1949.

Download or read book Purchasing Identity in the Atlantic World written by Phyllis Whitman Hunter and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have always had a love-hate relationship with possessions. Early Americans suspected luxuries as a corrupting force that would lead to an aristocracy. In Purchasing Identity in the Atlantic World, Phyllis Whitman Hunter demonstrates how elite Americans not only became infatuated with their belongings, but also avidly pursued consumption to shape their world and proclaim their success. In eighteenth-century New England harbor towns, the commercial gentry led their communities into full participation in a flourishing Anglo-American consumer culture. Affluent traders constructed roads, wharves, and warehouses, built mansions and assembly buildings, adopted new forms of sociability, and fostered the rise of the public sphere. Using case studies of influential merchant families, Hunter brings alive the process by which Boston and Salem evolved from Puritan towns dominated by families of English origin to Georgian provincial cities open to a diversity of religious affiliations and European ethnicities. Hunter then explores how revolutionary politics overturned polite society and transformed the meanings of possessions. Patriots threw tea to the fish in Boston Harbor, donned homespun at Harvard commencements, and transformed a silver punch bowl into an icon of liberty. The wealthy either espoused republican values and muted their material displays or fled to exile. Purchasing Identity in the Atlantic World,reveals a critical link in the complex relationship between capitalism and culture: the process by which material goods become symbols of profound social and cultural significance.

Download or read book Jonathan Belcher written by Michael C. Batinski and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As early as the eighteenth century, New England's ministers were decrying public morality. Evangelical leaders such as Jonathan Edwards called for rulers to become spiritual as well as political leaders who would renew the people's covenant with God. The prosperous merchant Jonathan Belcher (1682-1757) self-consciously strove to become such a leader, an American Nehemiah. As governor of three royal colonies and early patron of the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University), Belcher became an important but controversial figure in colonial America. In this first biography of the colonial governor, Michael C. Batinski depicts a man unusually riddled with contradictions. While governor of Massachusetts, Belcher deftly maneuvered longstanding rivals toward a political settlement; yet as chief executive of New Hampshire, he plunged into bitter factional disputes that destroyed his administration. The quintessential Puritan, Belcher learned to thrive in London's cosmopolitan world and in the whiggish realm of the marketplace. He was at once the courtier and the country patriot. An insightful blend of social and political history, this biography demands that Belcher be recognized as the embodiment of the Nehemiah, perhaps as important in his own realm as Cotton Mather was in religious circles. Grappling with the contradictions of Belcher's actions, the author explains much about the complexities of the world in which Belcher lived and wielded influence.
