There is a brief account in Besse. Sufferings of the People called Quakers. II. pp. 182-3. "Robert Hodgson went to Hampstead and he had a Meeting with some of his Friends who dwelt there; where he met with barbarous Usage. He was brought before one Geldersleeve, a magistrate," etc. This was the first persecution under the Dutch, and took place in 1657.

Robert Hodgſon went to Hamſtead, and had a Meeting with some of his Friends who dwelt there; where he met with barbarous Uſage: He was brought before one Gelderſleeve, a Magiſtrate there, who ſent him to Priſon, and rode to the Dutch Governour to inform him what he had done; and returning with a Guard of Muſquetiers, they ſearched the Priſoner, and took away his Bible and Papers, and kept him pinion'd all Night, and next Day enquiring who had entertained him, took into Cuſtody two Women, one of whom had a Child ſucking at her Breaſt. They put the Women into a Cart, and faſtened Robert to the Cart's Tail, pinion'd, and ſo drew him through the Woods in the Night, whereby he was grievouſly hurt; thus they brought him back to New-Amſterdam, now New-York, and put him into a naſty Dungeon, wherein were many Vermin, and the Women into another Place of Confinement.

Richard Gildersleeve, born in 1601 in County Suffolk, England, came to America in the Puritan Emigration of 1630-1640. Pausing at Watertown, Mass., he joined the small band of Puritan settlers who set out through the wilderness to settle the new colony of Connecticut. He made a home for himself in 1636, at Wethersfield, on the west side of High street, facing the Common near the river. He was one of the earliest proprietors of Naubuc Farms in Glastonbury when it was first surveyed. Discontented with conditions here, he journeyed down to the new colony just planted at New Haven where he was enrolled among the first proprietors of New Haven Colony in 1639. In 1641, he moved from Wethersfield to Stamford, Conn., where he was deputy to the General Court at New Haven. In 1644, he moved over with the first settlers of Hempstead, Long Island, N. Y., where he soon became one of the most influential and largest land proprietors. He was a "schepen," or Dutch magistrate under Governor Stuyveseant, 1644-1664. The first persecution of the Quakers by the Dutch came as a result of Magistrate Gildersleeve's activity.
During the Dutch-Indian War, he lived in Newtown, L. I., as one of the first proprietors and magistrates, 1652-1656. In 1664, when New York was captured by the English, he was appointed colonial commissioner by Connecticut. However, by the Duke of York's patent he became a royal subject once more. In 1669, he was one of that notable gathering of deputies from the English towns of Long Island who framed a petition, which fairly breathed the spirit of liberty manifested in the Declaration of Independence later. Lovelace, the Royal governor, had oppressed the towns severely. Mr. Gildersleeve, as deputy of Hempstead, refused absolutely to pay taxes without representation. It is impossible to say what would have happened, if, in 1673, New York had not been captured by the Dutch.
In 1674, New York was restored to the English. Richard Gildersleeve was deputy to New York to the Dutch Council. He also held very many offices of trust and honor in the town besides figuring in many of the exchanges of vast tracts of land. His main occupation lasting through life was that of surveyor. He was a Puritan of Puritans, fiery, and intolerant, strict and harsh in his official duties, but then the times were harsh enough to try the most heroic soul amidst the early settlements of the United States. He represented the town in all its dealings with the Indians, especially with Tackapousha, Sachem of the Marsapeage Indians. His wife was born in 1601 and witnessed in 1676 the final Indian exchange. He had three children, Richard, Samuel and Anna, the wife of John Smith, Nant., who came from Nantucket.

The name of Prideaux was adopted by this ancient family from the lordship of Prideaux, in the parish of Luxilian, in the county of Cornwall.

CAPT. JOSEPH SACKETT, of Newtown, Long Island, N. Y., married, about 1678, Elizabeth, dau. of Capt. Richard Betts. ... For his third wife he married Mercy, widow of Capt. Thomas Betts
The Family Record [Newburgh] Feb. 1897. Web.
Mrs. Mercy Whitehead Betts, who became the third wife of Capt. Joseph Sackett, was the daughter of Major Daniel Whitehead, of Jamaica, and Abigail, daughter of Thomas Stephenson. Major Whitehead served several years in the magistracy of Queens County and was a member of the Colonial Assembly of the province from 1691 until his death in 1704.
When in 1711 Capt. Joseph Sackett and widow Mercy Betts were married, the former was 55 years of age and had eleven children, while the latter was about 48 and had nine children, making an even score. Each had a daughter Abigail, each had a son Richard, and each had a daughter Elizabeth. Sixteen of the number married and had children, and nearly all the sons, as well as the husbands of the daughters, became men of prominence in their day and generation; while among their descendants have been Governors of States, Cabinet Officers, Bishops, Judges, Generals and Ministers of the United States to the principal Courts of Europe.
Daniel Denton was born in Yorkshire, England. Daniel married Abigail Stevenson and divorced in 1672. He married Hannah Leonard on Apr. 24, 1676 in Springfield, Massachusetts. He passed away in 1703 in New York.
Royster, Paul. Daniel Denton. Lincoln: U of Nebraska, 1984. 1-5. Web.
Daniel Denton, son of the first Presbyterian minister in America, wrote a promotional tract in 1670 to encourage English settlement of territories lately seized from the Dutch. Denton’s A Brief Description of New‐York gives an account of the geographical features and general economy of the country surrounding New York, relates some customs of the native inhabitants, and offers incentives and advice to prospective settlers.
Denton was born around 1626 in Yorkshire, England, son of Helen Windlblank and the Reverend Richard Denton. In the 1640s he accompanied his father to Massachusetts, Connecticut, and eventually Long Island. In 1650 he was made town clerk of Hempstead, where his father was pastor, and in 1656 he held the same position in the town of Jamaica. When his father removed to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Denton remained on Long Island, and in 1664 he became one of the grantees of a patent at Elizabethtown, New Jersey. In 1665 and 1666 he served as justice of the peace in New York. Around 1659, Denton married Abigail Stevenson, who bore three children, and from whom he was divorced in 1672. The two elder children, Daniel and Abigail, remained with their father, while the infant daughter, Mercy, accompanied her mother, who subsequently remarried. Denton left New York for England in 1670 (which may have occasioned his divorce), and there he evidently participated in settlement enterprises and possibly in the newly acquired (by the English) fur trade.
A Brief Description of New‐York: Formerly Called New‐Netherlands is a twenty‐five‐page pamphlet describing the topography, climate, soil, fauna and flora, settlements, crops, products, trades and occupations of the area between the Hudson and Delaware rivers, including Manhattan Island, Staten Island, and Long Island. Denton also included in his pamphlet some anecdotal relations of Indian customs and society. Quite understandably, he did not describe the Indians as a threatening presence, noting that “it hath been generally observed, that where the English come to settle, a Divine Hand makes way for them: by removing or cutting off the Indians, either by Wars one with the other, or by some raging mortal Disease.” Likewise, Denton gave little attention to the Dutch inhabitants of New York, other than to remark how much more effective British force would be in controlling the Indians.
The recurrent theme of Denton’s tract is the New World’s availability of land, and it lays its greatest stress on the material advantages and opportunities of colonial life: “here any one may furnish himself with land, and live rent‐free, yea, with such a quantity of land, that he may weary himself with walking over his fields of Corn, and all sorts of Grain.” The pamphlet’s strongest appeal is to “those which Fortune hath frowned upon in England, to deny them an inheritance amongst their Brethren, . . . [who] may procure here inheritances of land and possessions, stock themselves with all sorts of Cattel, enjoy the benefit of them whilst they live, and leave them to the benefit of their children when they die.” Denton identified America (specifically New York) with this particular trajectory of success, and his tract represents an early prototype of the myth of American soil as the “land of opportunity”: “How many poor people in the world would think themselves happy, had they an Acre or two of Land, whilst here is hundreds, nay thousands of Acres, that would invite inhabitants.”
Denton’s pamphlet reflects other characteristic colonial attitudes as well—most notably a sense of the self‐reliant egalitarian flavor of American society, “where a Waggon or Cart gives as good content as a Coach, and a piece of their home‐made Cloth, better than the finest Lawns or richest Silks,” and a typically Puritan reference to America as the new Promised Land: “I must needs say, that if there be any terrestrial Canaan, ‘tis surely here, where the Land floweth with milk and honey.” Denton was anxious in this last passage to be understood in a literal as well as typological sense, and indeed the secular note dominates throughout the tract. Denton’s early vision of the westward expansion of English culture and his mode of representing the American wilderness as an agrarian frontier were well on their way to becoming conventional tropes in a formalized rhetoric of the New World. Denton’s book exemplifies the migration of ideas from New England southward and westward across the continent, and also the capacity of those ideas to adapt and develop in response to local circumstances.
After A Brief Description of New‐York, Denton published nothing more. He returned to America in 1673, settling in Piscataway in East Jersey, where he was appointed magistrate. The next year, however, he removed to Springfield, Massachusetts, where he taught school and served as the town recorder. In 1676 he married Hannah Leonard by whom he had six children—Hannah, Samuel, Sarah, Elizabeth, Thomas, and Alice. He returned to Jamaica, New York, in 1684, became county clerk of Queens County in 1689, and died intestate in 1703.
Abigail Stevenson married Daniel Denton and divorced in 1672. Abigail married Daniel Whitehead in 1672 in Jamaica, Long Island, New York. She was buried on Oct. 15, 1717 in Jamaica.

Daniel Denton returned to New York to find that his wife Abigail was pregnant. She admitted infidelity, naming Daniel Whitehead of Jamaica (son of Daniel) as the father. At the Court of Sessions in June 1672, she stood "accused for her incontinency, and committing Adultery in ye absence of her Husband, then about his Occasions in Europe." The lower court sent the case up to Governor Francis Lovelace and his Council, from whom Daniel obtained a bill of absolute divorce on 16 June 1672. On the first Wednesday of October (5 October 1672), Mrs. Denton petitioned the New York General Court of Assizes concerning remarriage. Expressing a great sense of grief and sorrow for her miscarriage against her "late" husband, she had undergone the censure of the law. But she pointed out that since the divorce he was at liberty to remarry. Citing the temptations of a single life, and the need of support for herself and three children on five shillings a week plus what she could earn, she pleaded that in a short time she would become a charge of the town. For that reason she asked permission to remarry. The court acceded, and that same month Abigail married Daniel Whitehead

"Biographical Note." Stanley E. Morse Architectural Records. Denver Public Library. Web.
William J. Champion received his B.S. in architecture and planning from the University of Denver (1952). He first worked as an engineering draftsman for Gardner-Denver, Colorado (1938-1941) before wartime service as an aerial photographer and photographic laboratory chief with the Army Air Corps (1941-1945). Like Dion, Champion also worked for a number of different architectural firms in Colorado (including Stanley E. Morse, 1959-1960), as a draftsman, field supervisor or designer before joining with Morse and Dion as a full partner in 1963. The architectural offices for Morse, Dion & Champion were once located in a building that Morse had designed and constructed at 526 Cherokee Street, Denver, Colorado. The practice closed after Morse's death in 1968.
Champion, William J. MS.
Technical Sergeant, William J. Champion 2084282 formerly of 135 Cedar st. (5707 Saulsbury) Arvada, enlisted as a private, May 3, 1939, in the 120th Observation Squadron (U.S. Army Air Corps) Colorado National Guard. This unit was inducted into Federal Service Jan 5, 1941 and attached to the 1st Cavalry Division*, Fort Bliss, El Paso, Texas where the unit was stationed at near by Biggs Field. By mid 1942 a large new base was completed and Biggs Field became a 2nd Air Force B-24 base under the 1st Bomber Command. The 120th was reorganised and Champion was transferred to the 306th Air Base Squadron where he became Chief of the Base Photographic Section. Duties consisted of both aerial and ground photography, simulated camera bombing, bomb spotting and aerial gunnery as well as administrative duties consistent with the function of an Air Force Photographic unit, primarily a 3rd phase bombing and gun-camera training facility. Except for brief periods of detached service, Champion remained in this assignment throughout the war, honourably discharged in Oct. 1945 he returned to Arvada. In spring of 1946 Champion was the first student to enroll in the School of Architecture of the University of Denver, continued his service and served for two years in the post war Air National Guard stationed at Buckley Field.

Champion, William John. 1995. MS.
It was, at times, a crazy war, even in Arvada. In the spring of 1941 Champion received a somewhat stern letter, addressed to; Corporal William John Champion, 120th Obs. Sqdn., U. S. Air Corps, Biggs Field, El Paso, Texas, from The Arvada Draft Board. The letter demanded an explanation as to why subject “Corporal” had failed to register for the draft. A somewhat amused and bewildered Corporal obtained the First Sergeant’s permission to take the matter up with his Commanding Officer, Col. Harrison Wellman, who ordered that the letter be “disposed of in an appropriate manner.” Champion smartly saluted with a tongue-in-cheek “Yes Sir, thank you Sir.” The order was carried out with considerable ceremony and traditional Air Corps elan, the details of which are best left to the imagination of the reader.
P. S. Looking back over those fifty-four years I often wish I had saved that letter.

Harry Garlick of the telephone exchange was busy giving election returns Wednesday and Thursday. Our telephone people are to be congratulated for their pains in giving the prompt returns of the election in state and nation. The Colorado Telephone company has some mighty good employes in the Garlick family and we believe in giving a good word of praise where it is due. It is out of the question to exist without good telephone service.

"Mrs. Harry Garlick a Victim of Influenza." Arvada Enterprise 1 Mar. 1919. Print.
This community was greatly grieved and shocked to learn Sunday of the death of Mrs. Harry Garlick, wife of the exchange manager of the local telephone system, which occurred at 12:30 a. m. Sunday morning, at her home in north Berkeley. A baby daughter had arrived to Mr. and Mrs. Garlick only the preceding Wednesday, and altho her condition was not considered precarious, at the time, grave fears were felt that serious complications might set in. Everything possible was done for her, but the Angel of Death proved the victor. Mr. Garlick was also quite sick at the time of her death with the same malady, but he has rallied and seems to be recovering slowly under his terrible experience in the loss of his beloved companion. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, from Olinger chapel, where a large crowd of sorrowing and sympathetic friends were gathered to show their last respects to a noble little mother and wife, neighbor and friend. Rev. Cage of the Wheat Ridge Methodist church, spoke comforting words to the bereaved ones. The pall-bearers were, Messrs. C. Graves, A. H. Barth, Isaac Hardy, W. E. Peterson, William J. Bennett, and Richard Rodda. The interment was made in Crown Hill cemetery. Nellie Comfort Garlick was born in Pennsylvania, October 25, 1890. She was married to Harry M. Garlick at her home in Central City, August 6, 1914. Besides her husband she leaves three small children, Mellor Comfort, aged 26 months, Frances Lenore, aged 13 months, and the infant born a week ago Wednesday. She also leaves three sisters, one in Boulder, Colo. who was present at the funeral, one in Ogden, Utah, and one in Florida.

Comfort, George. Northern Christian Advocate [Syracuse] 19 Nov. 1902. Web.
Richard Martin died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frances Comfort, in Harmony, July 30, 1902. He was born on November 13, 1818, and was nearly eighty-four years of age. He was married on June 2, 1838, to Mrs. Susan Ann Seward, of Easton, Pa., who died February 26, 1895. Since that time he has made his home at his daughter's. There were eight children born to them, Ezra, Frances, Maryetta, Margaret, Esther, Phebe, Emmazilla and Florence, only two of whom survive him.
For over fifty years the writer knew him as a unassuming and candid character, whose whole life was marked with a sincerity and honesty of purpose that to know him was to respect and love him.
He was converted to God in 1858, since which time he trusted his Savior with a child-like simplicity, and sustained a membership in the Methodist Episcopal church, till transferred to the church above. He unfalteringly loved his Bible, reading it much during his last years of loneliness, also his Hymn Book, making frequent reference to some favorite sentiments, of some familiar hymns, and the promises of God's own word. He delighted to have his pastor and others assemble in his room during his last sickness, to read, sing and pray with and for him. His long life—the last of his father's family—ended, his sun has set amid the brightest hopes. We shall meet him again over on "the Evergreen Shore" of everlasting life.

His house was attacked during the Revolutionary war, by a party of tories who took all of his arms; soon after which they paid him another visit, headed by the notorious freebooter, Joseph Hueson, who tried to enter a back window, while his comrades kept watch outside. Whitney warned him to keep out or be killed, but Hueson, feeling sure that he had no arms, persisted in the attempt, and was stabbed in the breast with an old bayonet which Whitney had mounted on a stout staff. Hueson fell inside of the house, and his comrades forced the door and carried him away. They took Whitney into the yard, and not daring to use their guns for fear of alarming a body of American soldiers who were quartered at Crompond Church, a short distance from there, they struck him over the head with a horse-pistol, giving him a mark which he carried through life, and leaving him for dead. He had the satisfaction of hearing Hueson, as they carried him off, say, "the old rebel has killed me"; and so it was, for he only lived to ride a half-mile.

John Many is recorded on the tax list in New York City from 1696 through 1699. He lived in the East Ward in one of two houses owned by Carsten (Christopher) Luerson. Capt. William Kidd was living in the next house during some of those years (this has resulted in some descendants speculating that Jean and his brothers, may too, have been involved in piracy). In the 1703 census he is living in the South Ward.

Two brothers, Jacques and Jean Maney, lived at Meschers, a village on the Gironee, France, the latter being a sea captain and known as Captain Maney. They were Huguenots and fled to England, probably at the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, in 1685. From England they came to America, joining the Narragansett colony in Rhode Island in 1686. Jacques married Anne, daughter of Francois Vincent, both of them being members of the Huguenot church in New York in 1692. Jean married, prior to 1696, Jeanne, daughter of Jean Machet, and was a member of the same church.

Web.John Comfort had earlier called Treadwell down for drinking, laziness, and general dissolution. Treadwell, angered and insulted at Comfort's interference, repeatedly threatened him. Comfort had also made a trip down the river and planned to return home the same day as Oliver Harper. The two men resembled each other in size and appearance and were dressed much alike. A man with killing on his mind and alcohol in his blood, hiding nervously in the bushes, could easily mistake one for the other. If the suspicions of the townspeople were correct, Jason Treadwell killed the wrong man. He had lain in ambush to take revenge on John Comfort and murdered Oliver Harper instead. After his gun was found hidden in a log and a partial confession was taken, Treadwell was tried, convicted, and hanged. United States. Census. 1820.

John Comfort joined the Methodists in 1809.When John and Phoebe Comfort moved to Harmony in 1808, built a large sawmill, opened a mercantile institution, farmed hundreds of acres of prime land, and purchased the large Pickering "country house," they instantly became not only one of the wealthiest families in the township, but members of this same elite group that established social order and respectability for the rest of their remote mountain valley. When the Comforts joined the Methodists the year after their arrival, during the period when Methodism became Harmony's dominant religion, they became closely allied with the prominent Hale family. After the Hale family built their own "mansion" during the time of the Comfort conversions, the two families had a great deal in common. Methodists in the township met at either one home or the other for worship services, elections, court sessions, or other community events. Both families were financially well placed and both played a significant role in community life. |

May 1, 1663, he was elected constable, and between August 29 and September 7, 1665, he sold his Southampton lands, preparatory to removing to Elizabethtown, in which latter place he soon became one of the leading citizens, holding the offices of ensign, high sheriff, magistrate and one of the most prominent opponents of the lords proprietors. His only brother was, like himself, named John, a fact proven by their father's will, but as the latter remained in Southampton, where he inherited the bulk of his father's estate, the two lines have had distinct histories.

CAPT. RICHARD BETTS, the father of Elizabeth, the first wife of Capt. Joseph Sackett, was born Hertfordshire, England, in the year 1613. He came to New England about the year 1635, and in 1636 settled at Newtown, Mass., from which place, prior to 1642, he removed to Ipswich, where he remained until about 1654, when he became a permanent resident of Newtown, Long Island. There he soon acquired prominence and influence, and for upwards of half a century participated largely in public affairs. In the revolution of 1663 he bore a zealous part, and after the conquest of New Netherlands by the English he was a member from Newtown of the Provisional Assembly, held at Hempstead in 1665. He was "High Sheriff of Yorkshire, upon Long Island" from 1678 to 1681. For a long series of years he was a magistrate, and several times a member of the "High Court of Assize," then the supreme power in the province. His name is honorably mentioned in upwards of thirty distinct paragraphs on the pages of "Riker's Annals of Newtown," the last of which reads as follows: "The last survivor of the original purchasers, Capt. Richard Betts, died on Nov. 18, of this year" (1713), "at the patriarchal age of a hundred years. None in the township has been so eminent as he for commanding influence and valuable public service. His remains were interred on his own estate at the English Kills, on the 20th, with a funeral service by Mr. Poyer, rector of Jamaica Parish."

He became a bitter opponent to Director Pieter Stuyvesant and the little town of Bushwick, which he had founded. Under leave from the Governor, the English settlers had planted their town, but were refused the usual patent, and in 1656 Richard Betts administered a severe blow to Stuyvesant by purchasing the land for himself and fifty-five associates, from the red men, at the rate of one shilling per acre. The total cost amounted to £68 16s. 4d. which, with the sum of £76 9s. paid to the sachems Pomwaukon and Rowerowestco, extinguished the Indian title to Newtown.

Richard Champion, of Central City, and Miss Laura Jolly were married at the home of the bride's parents in Arvada on the 19th inst, Rev. J. F. White officiating. Mr. Jolly, the father of the bride, is a member of the Salvation Army, and there was considerable army music at the ceremony and a general good time.
"Honoree's Life Spans Industrial Revolution." Arvada Citizen Sentinel 28 Dec. 1972: 39. Print.
Laura Jolly Champion, honored with membership in the Arvada Historical Society during the group's special week recently, is a native Arvadan whose life has spanned one of the most rapid industrial revolutions the world has known.
She has seen a transition from the horse-and-buggy to landing on the moon, from farming and food preparation to TV dinners, from information by mail and word of mouth to communication satellite and from a few neighbors at great distances to a town of 68,000 persons.
Mrs. Champion was born in the townsite of Arvada, Oct. 21, 1886. Her father, William Jolly, and her mother, Annie Carpenter Jolly, had come from England. After living in Boulder, Erie, and Silver Plume, the family settled in Arvada, in 1884. Laura Jolly was the youngest of 10 children and was named by Benjamin Wadsworth, first Arvada Postmaster.
William Jolly purchased a portion of land bounded by Wadsworth By-Pass, Ralston Rd., Saulsbury St., and Grandview Ave. From Benjamin and Mary Wadsworth, in 1885.
The family lived in the Methodist parsonage on the south side of 57th Ave. and Wadsworth Blvd. until Jolly finished building the family home on the site where Berry's Restaurant now stands.
The Jollys operated an ice cream store on the corner of the property which proved an inspiration because the site was near the Arvada terminal of the Denver Tramway several years.
In early days, a homemade pie and ice cream stand was a popular center for holiday festivities. However, at the turn of the century, a severe snow storm July 4 created a problem. There was no refrigeration to help preserve delicacies so the family saved them by eating as much as they could, suffering for days afterwards.
Jolly was a carpenter and some homes he built are still standing. The Tetzloff home, 5705 Saulsbury St., is one while the home at 7009 Grandview Blvd. and several homes west of Wadsworth Blvd. are others.
A white house at the bottom of the hill on Vance St. was razed a few years ago, and a saw engraved with William Jolly's initials was found built into the walls.
Mrs. Jolly and children operated the family farm which produced strawberries and raspberries for marketing. During summer months, a full day was required to pick 25 quarts of berries. Twice a week, Annie and some of the family's older children loaded a wagon with berries and took them to market in Denver. The Jollys received 35 cents for a crate of their product which merchants sold for $1.50.
Laura attended classes in a two-room schoolhouse at 5650 Wadsworth Blvd. This was the second school built on lands donated by Wadsworth and was completed in 1882. One room was used for an elementary school and the other for a high school.
The Jolly family were Methodists and attended services in the Clear Creek Valley Grange, now the Arvada Festival Playhouse, until the Second Methodist Church, 7500 W. 57th Ave., was completed. The whole family attended the church or the grange for recreation.
An interesting custom, long dead, was a community gift exchange at Christmas time. A few weeks before Christmas, a tree was decorated at the Church and townspeople placed gifts beneath it. On Christmas Eve, the community gathered for an exchange and opening of gifts.
Laura Jolly married Richard Champion in 1919, in Central City. A year later, when Standley Lake was built for irrigation purposes, the Champions moved to 5707 Saulsbury St. where Mrs. Champion has lived for 53 years.
Champion was an excavating engineer and worked for Jefferson County until his death in 1958.
The Champions had one son, William, who resides at 9161 W. 66th Ave. with his wife, the former Nellie Garlic.
Mrs. Champion has two grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Letter. 13 Mar. 1847. Female Convicts Research Centre. Web. This may have been written by Herman Merivale, who was the Recorder of Penzance from 1841 to 1848.
In the matter of Honor Tremelling convicted of larceny and sentenced by me to transportation for seven years at the Quarter Sessions for Penzance last December.
The prisoner pleaded guilty and the only note I have is an abstract of the result of the depositions:
"Five years servant of Mr York. Stole money out of his desk, in his shop, by means of his key, which she took out of the pocket of his coat at his home"
No such statement as that mentioned in her Petition was made by the prisoner or on her behalf at the trial.
It appeared by the deposition that pilfering had been going on for a long time previously at Mr York's.
"The Petition of Honor Tremelling in Millbank Prison." Female Convicts Research Centre. Web. Honor was transferred to Millbank on Jan. 22, 1847.
That your petitioner was a cook and housekeeper to Mr York, Draper, of Penzance and had been in his service nearly six years and was always considered to be trust worthy. Being in want of change one morning to purchase provisions for the family before her Master returned from his dwelling house, and having none of her own, she took six shillings from the till, the shopman being present when she did so. She did not think that her Master on being told by the shopman what she had done would suspect her of dishonesty.
Your Petitioner begs to state that she is a widow and had three children who are now with her aged mother and who are not yet old enough to earn their own bread and that this is her first conviction.
Your Petitioner humbly solicits your kind consideration of the circumstances of her case and that you would be pleased to recommend a mitigation of her sentence and she will ever pray.
