Chapter X: The last Barnabas, Ruth Snow, and Cameron, Missouri

This is the 12th in a series of articles which serializes my family history, which I wrote in November 2017, titled "From Samuel to Cyrus: A fresh look at the History of the Packard Family." Minor corrections. Below is the 10th chapter of that history:

The year is 1847. Barnabas Packard II had died on April 30. [216] The only Barnabas left in Plainfield was Barnabas Packard III, Barnabas and Mary’s son, who would die almost 21 years later on April 25, 1868. He would be recorded on three censuses as living in Plainfield: the 1850 and 1860 censuses, along with an agriculture schedule in 1850. [217] By 1854, there were only 854 people living in Plainfield! A small number compared to the nearby town of Cummington, which had over 1,000.

Barnabas Packard III and Ruth M. (possibly Makepeace) Snow had been married for 21 years, married on July 21, 1818 in Windsor, Massachusetts. [218] From 1818 to 1847, they had 10 children, all with the last name of Packard. The first two were Poly Nash, born on July 18, 1819 and dying on November 10, 1869, who never married, and Cynthia Cordelia who was born on November 27, 1820 and died of “dropsy” on July 25, 1863, marrying Aaron Ayres in December 1841. [219] There were 4 other children born in the 1820s: William Henry (October 1, 1822), Martha “Patty” (August 18, 1824), Irene (September 20, 1826), and Mary Jane (October 20, 1828). William Henry will be the subject of the next chapter. As for the others, Patty married Charles I. Ford on December 12, 1843 and died on November 1, 1903 at age 99, while Irene married Horatio Lynons on May 9, 1847, and Mary Jane married Zebediah H. Randall on March 8, 1852. [220] From 1831 to 1840, Barnabas and Ruth had 4 more children. They were Roswell Clifford, born February 4, 1831, who married Elnora G. Vining on February 25, 1869, Ossmus Chalmer, born July 27, 1834, who married Sophia Dean on April 1, 1863, Charles Edwin, born on March 19, 1838, who married Araminta Utter in 1867, and Harrison “Clark” Clark, born February 20, 1840 who married Melona C. Dawes on June 4, 1865. [221] Roswell would die in 1919 in Cameron, Missouri, while Ossmus would die in the same place but on January 28, 1907. Clark would die, reportedly, in Windsor in 1899, and Charles would die in Kansas City, Missouri in 1933.

Much of Barnabas and Ruth’s life can be determined from the three censuses cited on the previous page. The 1850 census shows Barnabas Packard III (age 54) as the head of the household, with the value of the land being $1,500, and his occupation as a farmer. The same is the case with 19-year-old Roswell and 15-year-old Ossmus, likely working on the same farm as their father, Barnabas III, within Plainfield, Massachusetts. [222] The same page shows that Ossmus, Charles (age 12), and Harrison (age 10) are attending school. Interestingly, it classifies Polly N. as over 31 years of age, who cannot read or write, as “idiotic.” Ruth, Barnabas’s wife, age 50, and their daughter Mary J., age 21, do not have occupations listed, so they presumed to be “housewives.”

Before moving on, it is worth focusing on Polly N. While you could say her designation is an error, it is clearly not, based on other censuses. [223] The questions answered affirmatively for her were:

Is the person “deaf, dumb, blind, insane, idiotic, pauper, or convict?” (answer: “idiotic”)

“If this person was over 20 years of age, could they not read and write?”

Census enumerators defined an “idiot” as a person whose “mental faculties” were limited “in infancy or childhood” before they matured, referring to, a wide range of “known disabilities,” by today’s standards. [224] Hence, it could be logical that she could not read or write.

The next document worth reviewing is the 1850 agriculture schedule of Plainfield. This document shows that Barnabas Packard III owns 230 acres of land in the township, 160 of which are improved, and 70 of which are not. [225] It also says his farm is worth $1,500 and tools (and equipment) worth $200. Adding to this, he is listed as owning 2 horses, 3 milk cows, 16 other cattle, and 1 swine which is worth $400. He also possesses 30 bushels of Indian corn and 30 bushels of oats, among other grains. Living in the same community is Ariel L. Ayres, who may be related to Aaron Ayres, who Barnabas and Ruth’s daughter, Cythnia, married nine years earlier in 1841.

Finally, there is the 1860 census of Plainfield. This document again lists 65-year-old Barnabas as a farmer, but his farm is now listed as worth $3,000 and personal estate as worth $2,500. [226] Ruth, his wife, age 64, had no occupation, while Polly N. was again called “idiotic” and was age 41. Hence, this was part of her identity, dying on November 10, 1868 at age 49, 3 months, 3 days, from bleeding in the stomach. [227] Barnabas was a “farmer who settled in West Plainfield, clearing his land for planting, while maintaining a grove of maple sugar trees, with produce taken to Boston for sale” as one history said. As noted earlier, he was the first to own the West Hill Farm, later owned by Cyrus and Tom. However, taking a trip to Boston to sell produce seems a bit excessive since it is over 100 miles away. Perhaps he sold his produce at a closer market.

Thanks to a retired programmer interested in genealogy, named Jack Vander-Schrier, we have photographs of Barnabas III and Charles Edwin:

While we do not know about each picture, it seems evident that the photograph on the left was taken in his older years, perhaps not long before his death. By the last seven years of Barnabas III’s life, many of his children had moved out of the area. Reportedly, Charles Edwin spent time in Ohio as a mathematics teacher before moving to Cameron, Missouri while his brother, Ossmus lived in Mendota, Illinois before moving to Cameron in 1865. The family lore goes that Roswell moved to Cameron in 1866 (and reportedly moved to Ft. Smith, Arkansas in 1895) and that Patty (and her husband Charles Ira Ford) moved from Nauseous, Ohio to Cameron the same year. [228] Hence, Polly N., William Henry, Cynthia Cordelia, Harrison, Mary Jane, and Irene did not move there. On a trip to Cameron in 1868, with his wife, Ruth, Barnabas became ill and died. Ruth would live with her son Charles Edwin until she died on January 1, 1879, and both would be buried in the Packard Cemetery in Cameron, Missouri.

One photograph tells more of that story than anything else. The photograph is courtesy of Find A Grave user Jack Vander-Schrier yet again:

The photograph shown on the last page, shows what the “Barnabas Packard family,” as Vander-Schrier puts it, around 1875, living in Cameron, Missouri. It has been numbered as to help future genealogists determine who the individuals are in this picture. Based on the photograph of Charles Edwin on page 70, it is clear that number 8 is him. He was a cashier at the Farmers Bank in Cameron, Missouri, and later a banker, reportedly. The rest of those in the photograph are unknowns. However, numbers 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, seem like couples based on the way they are standing. One of these couples is Roswell Clifford and Ellanora (1842-1895), while another is Patty and Charles Ford (1822-1914) (also a banker), and the last is Ossmus and Sophia H. Dean. [229] Possibly Araminta Aminta Utter is number 16, although this cannot be confirmed. Somewhere in numbers 9-14, 17-21 are Araminta and Charles’s child Clark, but not Eva since she was born in 1876, unlike Clark who was born in 1873. The same goes for Ossmus and Sophia’s child, Herbert Melvin (1867-1935).

All of these children have the last name of Packard. Basing it on the photo, earlier in this chapter, number 7 is Ruth Snow. Number 16 may be the wife of the person occupying that house. Other women, such as Herbert’s wife, Mary Francis, are likely in the photograph as well. The same is undoubtedly the case for Roswell and Ellanora’s children: Emma E (b. 1870), George C (b. 1873), Leonard C (b. 1875), Etta B (b. 1877), E Edwin (b. 1880), and Jennie S (b. 1882), the first three of which were likely in the photo. It is also the case for Patty and Charles’s children named Pearl, Arthur, Sarah Jane (1844-1898), Henry Edsel (1847-1902), and Cora Ann (1855-1918) who married George Thomas Howser (1855-1936). If you add up all of the people noted in this paragraph, it adds up to 21. Solving the mystery of who is who in this old photograph would require identifying all these individuals rather than using educated guesses. Still, it adds more to the Packard family story. [230]

If she was in an “insane asylum” or other facility, the conditions were likely horrific, with existing records of facilities in Massachusetts not currently online.

This is an interview that I conducted with Tab Murphy, the screenwriter for Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The purpose of this interview is to gain insight into the process of writing the film.

The historiography of the making of “Hunchback” has been primarily concerned with the artwork, direction, marketing, and music, with comparatively little being written or discussed about the writing process.

The task of adapting Victor Hugo’s sprawling historical melodrama into a children’s cartoon was not an easy one, and this interview sheds some light on how that was achieved.

Topics of Interest Include:

The writing process

The development of the story: proving that there was a “Disney film” in Hugo’s novel

How Murphy became involved with the project

Points of inspiration Murphy’s relationship with the story of “Hunchback”

Abandoned concepts/sequences

How scenes in the script were adapted into songs (The Hellfire song was based on a monologue from Frollo in the original script)

Was there an unhappy ending?

The initial reception of the movie contrasted with the current reception and reassessment of Tab Murphy’s work

I would like to thank Tab Murphy for his generosity and consideration and time.

Hopefully, this interview can be a source of historical reference and information and can give a perspective that has, for the most part, been underexplored with regard to the creation of this film.

Animated movies are the product of numerous creative voices, including that of screenwriters. If anyone ends up seeing this interview and learns something that they did not know before, feel free to share any and all knowledge. Even for something as simple as adding to the Wikipedia article for the movie.

Preservation is paramount.

On this day, 190 years ago, Victor Hugo’s immortal novel, Notre Dame de Paris, was published by Gosselin, after considerable delay. Almost immediately upon publication, the work was a popular success, capturing the minds of readers and numerous artists, musicians, and dramatists. Indeed, few works have been as admired, adapted, and imitated as this one.

The novel provides a narrative with characters who range from the very royalty of France to the lowliest of outcasts, with the shadow of the cathedral, whose survival is indebted to this book, looming over all.

Hugo writes that his story begins on a day in which history has forgotten, that “the sixth of January, 1482, is not a day that history has preserved any memory.” What a contrast to the sixteenth of March, 1831, in which the world welcomed one of the great literary works of all time.

A soundtrack was recently announced for Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which will not only include music that was not included as part of the original 1996 soundtrack album, but will also include multiple demos:

Notably, this album will include early versions of Heavens Light (reprise), Topsy Turvy, and A Guy Like You, which have never been released before. There are also two versions of out there, and only one has been made available in the past.

Many of the demos, I suspect, will be identical to the versions that were featured on the 1997 laserdisc edition of the movie.

Disappointingly, some of the songs that were on the laserdisc, such as heavens light, and the abandoned songs for the court of miracles scene, will not be included, and I am unsure as to why.

Still, this is a very exciting announcement, and from the historical perspective, it will always be a good thing to have more content available from the making of the film.

The American version of Notre Dame de Paris (1956) is the superior version due to the inclusion of this bizarre scene.

John Jackson - Portrait of James Abercrombie, 1st Baron Dunfermline -

James Abercromby, 1st Baron Dunfermline PC (7 November 1776 – 17 April 1858), was a British barrister and Whig politician. He served as Speaker of the House of Commons between 1835 and 1839.

John Jackson RA (31 May 1778 – 1 June 1831) was a British portraitist.

John Jackson was baptised on 31 May 1778 in Lastingham, Yorkshire, and started his career as an apprentice tailor to his father, also John Jackson, who opposed the artistic ambitions of his son. John Jackson’s mother was Ann Warrener and he had at least one brother, Roger Jackson.

However, John enjoyed the support of Henry Phipps, 1st Earl of Mulgrave (1755–1831), who recommended him to the Earl of Carlisle; as well as that of Sir George Beaumont, 7th Baronet, who offered him residence at his own home and £50 per year. As a result, Jackson was able to attend the Royal Academy Schools, where he befriended David Wilkie and B. R. Haydon. At Castle Howard, residence of the Earl of Carlisle, he could study and copy from a large collection of paintings. His watercolours were judged to be of uncommon quality.

By 1807 Jackson's reputation as a portrait painter had become established, and he made the transition to oils steadily, if not easily, regularly forwarding paintings to Somerset House. After a visit to the Netherlands and Flanders with Edmund Phipps in 1816, he accompanied Sir Francis Chantrey on a trip to Switzerland, Rome, Florence and Venice in 1819. In Rome he was elected to the Academy of St Luke. His portrait of Antonio Canova, painted on this trip, was regarded as outstanding.

Jackson was a prolific portraitist, strongly showing the influence of Sir Thomas Lawrence and Henry Raeburn in his work. His sitters included the Duke of Wellington, the explorer Sir John Franklin and some noted Wesleyan ministers. His 1823 portrait of Lady Dover, wife of George Agar-Ellis, 1st Baron Dover, was widely acclaimed.

He was a Royal Academy student from 9 March 1805, was elected an Associate of the RA on 6 November 1815 and elected a full member on 10 February 1817.

John Jackson was married twice, the first marriage in 1808 was to Maria Frances Fletcher, the daughter of a jeweller, Samuel Fletcher. His second marriage in August 1818 was to Matilda Louisa Ward, the daughter of the painter James Ward and a niece of George Morland. He died in 1831 in St John's Wood, London.

He had three children with his first wife Maria: Maria Rosa Jackson was born in 1808 and died in 1888. His son Charles Fletcher Jackson was born in 1810 and died in infancy in 1811. His second son, John Edmund Jackson was born in 1816 and again died in infancy in March 1817. John Jackson’s first wife Maria also died in March 1817 shortly before their son John Edmund died.

Johns first daughter, Maria Rosa Jackson married Marmaduke Brewer and she later ran a school in Monmouthshire.

Jackson had three confirmed children with Matilda. His first son, Howard William Mansfield Jackson was born in 1824. His second son with Matilda, Mulgrave Phipps Jackson (baptised Phipps Mulgrave) was born on 5 August 1830 and died on 4 October 1913. A painter himself, he exhibited in the Royal Academy for 12 years. John Jackson also had a daughter with Matilda, also called Matilda Louisa born 1825.

There was also possibly a second daughter Ida Augusta Jackson, married Roeneke (27 December 1851, London – 6 January 1874, Florence), buried in the English Cemetery, Florence.[7] This daughter has not yet been confirmed by Ancestry.

Countess Zofia Zamoyska, née Potocka - Polish noblewoman

''That the relations between man and woman are very different in Poland and in France is quickly perceived in daily conversation. While the tone among Frenchmen, whenever conversation turns on women, is always extremely free, sometimes to a foreigner repulsive, and generally lascivious, the Poles as a rule in discussing women manifest warmth, often tenderness or indulgence, but, so far as I could judge, seldom frivolity.

In Poland's great uprisings they have been known to enter into conspiracies, to do military duty, and frequently enough of their own free will to accompany their loved ones to Siberia. Mickiewicz's Grażyna, who led an army on horseback, has had successors in this century. Celebrated above all others is Emilia Plater, a young lady of one of the first families of Poland, who in 1830 induced a whole district to rise in rebellion, took part in several battles, and at last, having joined the detachments under Dembinski which refused to take refuge on Prussian soil, attempted to cut her way with her corps through the hostile army, but in December, 1831, died of want and over-exertion at the age of 26, in the hut of a forester. Mickiewicz's, beautiful poem, The Colonel's Death, celebrated her memory. During the rebellion of 1830-31 there was not a battalion nor a squadron of the Polish army in which there were not female combatants; after a battle or a march the soldiers always arranged a bivouac for the women, just as they took care that no word was spoken which could offend their ears.

The education of the young girls, moreover, is conducted in much the same way as in France—they are never left a moment unprotected—and marriages are made in the same manner as there; the contracting parties seldom know much of each other before the wedding, and generally see each other for the first time a few weeks before.''

Charlotte Canning, Countess Canning (née Stuart; 31 March 1817 – 18 November 1861) was a British artist and the first vicereine of India. She was one of India's most prolific women artists – two portfolios in the Victoria and Albert Museum contain some 350 watercolours by her, the result of four major tours in the country. Her husband was Charles Canning, who served as Governor-General of India from 1856 to 1858 and then as Viceroy of India until 1862.

As the elder daughter of the British ambassador to France, she was born and raised in Paris. She moved to England with her family in 1831, marrying Canning four years later. From 1842 to 1855, Lady Canning served as a Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Victoria and was a favourite of the monarch. She moved to Calcutta in 1856 upon her husband's appointment, and two years later she became India's first vicereine when the country fell under control of the British Crown.

As an artist and botanist Lady Canning collected flowers and plants during her frequent trips around India, while drawing the natural scenes around her. She became ill shortly before her scheduled return to England, and died of malaria in Calcutta. Her death was widely reported in England, where she was exemplified as a symbol of feminine virtue in the Victorian era. A type of Indian dessert, ledikeni, is named after her.

March 12, 1856

While thumbing through the family bible, I found a family register page that hadn’t been filled in. I filled it in as best I could with the family’s history that I know. I did forget myself because Hiram is my brother and I didn’t notate that. I would have liked to have added my birthday, Oct. 31, 1831, or Hiram’s birth year, 1817, but that wouldn’t have been relevant to the Waldrop’s history.

(The text of the page below)

Benjamin Samuel Waldrop married Maria Louisa Johnson - abt 1830

Thomas Garland born December 7, 1834

Nancy Quarles born 1838

Thomas G. married Sarah Mildred Saunders - October 9, 1854

Nannie Q. married Hiram Bolling Saunders (brother) - Dec. 18, 1855

method

There is no word “subfluence,” or only barely one. This started with the self-written biographical note of poet Jack Hirschman, in A Caterpillar Anthology (Clayton Eshleman, ed., 1971) —

“They are lyrical poems, in verse or free-form, as distinguished from the poems in this anthology, which are breath forms reflecting a more total slavery to the conditions of the spirit’s war-torn years. The major influences on my works are influence itself, in as many levels of order, disorder, disaster, paranoia, joy and ecstasy as the deathless magic of being alive permits a vessel now of fire, now of air, to spark, glow, flame and ember according to the law of nature.”

“Influence” — that word — led to thinking about variations, e.g., effluence, outfluence, pre-fluence... “subfluence” — an underground stream a less-than fluency (stammering, stuttering) a brittleness?

Little — or nothing — surfaced in a google books search, save for errors — typically a “sub” at the end of one line, a “fluence” at the start of the next (in a different column). Quite enough for present purposes. And so these subfluence derivations are built around a word that isn’t quite a word. Some license has been taken with the text in this post: dispensing ellipsis or [brackets] where text is erased (or rather, dropped); in some instances, some words that preceded the subfluence, are moved to follow it.

And yet, the word does appear, in some (and only a few) geological texts, typically having to do with the geotectonic unterströmungshypothese (undercurrent) concepts — and field work done in the Northern Calcareous Alps — of and by Otto Ampferer (1875-1947). More on Ampferer to come. For now, these references —

Wolf-Christian Dullo and Fritz A. Pfaffle, “The theory of undercurrent from the Austrian alpine geologist Otto Ampferer (1875-1947) : first conceptual ideas on the way to plate tectonics,” Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences 56 (2019) : 1095-11 here

Karl Krainer und Christoph Hauser, “Otto Ampferer (1875–1947): Pioneer in Geology, Mountain Climber, Collector and Draftsman,” in: Geo.Alp Sonderband 1 (2007) : 91–100 here (pdf)

“Subfluence” also surfaces as a company name, social media handle, &c., &c.

London Singularity takes place in 1888. If someone were to say, expand the other Singularities into that era (or just to place other Fate based stories then), which Heroic Spirits could you reasonably have appear as a living Human who might be able to assist or summon a Servant?

Historical Characters:

Florence Nightingale (12 May 1820 – 13 August 1910) [Age: 68]

Geronimo (Mescalero-Chiricahua: Goyaałé Athabaskan pronunciation: [kòjàːɬɛ́] "the one who yawns", June 16, 1829 – February 17, 1909) [Age: 59]

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (12 August [O.S. 31 July] 1831–8 May 1891) [Age: 57]

Saitō Hajime (February 18, 1844 – September 28, 1915) [Age: 44]

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) [Age: 41]

Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) [Age: 35]

Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) [Age: 32]

Li Shuwen (1864–1934) [Age: 24]

Margaretha Geertruida Zelle (7 August 1876 – 15 October 1917) [Age: 12]

*Jack the Ripper (the first murders happened in 1888)

Fictional Characters:

Dr. Jekyll (Novella was published in 1886, but you can just follow the timeline of the original Singularity)

Sherlock Holmes (born in 1854, and “His Last Bow” is set in 1914)

James Moriarity (in canon he died in 1891)

Captain Nemo (His canon stories tend to take place in the 1860′s, but there’s precedent with “League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” having him live past 1888.)

Fran (Either do it like London did and have her in stasis, or just do the common story element of her just not dying and traveling around exploring the world.)

Interesting Notes: I added Jack the Ripper to the list because 1888 is when the Whitechapel Murders happened, although any appearance probably needs to ignore the Fate versions of Jack. Someone who fits the bill was alive. By definition, a Jack the Ripper would need to be alive at this point.

For fun I included Margaretha Geertruida Zelle (later known as Mata Hari). She’s probably not participating in any Holy Grail War or events, but it would be interesting if you want a 12 year old Master.

She didn’t quite make it to 1888, but Katsushika Ōi (c. 1800 – c. 1866) was relatively contemporary. Her date of death is marked as unknown, but I think that just refers to month and day, not the year being in dispute. If you want to get a little crazy though, there’s a quote from someone who knew who her implied, “”she had ambitions to become a female xian sage.” So, who’s to say she didn’t succeed in doing so and gaining immortality or reversing her aging?

This is mostly just something fun to consider. Dr. Jekyll summons Mordred like in London (although as a proper Master/Servant relationship). Florence Nightingale summons Asclepius to a battlefield. Saito Hajime summons Miyamoto Musashi to keep the peace in the Meji Era. Geronimo summons Abigail Williams... Lots of interesting potential here.

The Events of the Merthyr Rising (1): 31 May - 2 June 1831

Gwyn A. Williams stated that with the beginning of the Merthyr Rising ‘the prehistory of the Welsh working class comes to an end. It’s history begins.’

31 May 1831

Lewis Lewis was a miner at the coal mines associated with the Penydarren ironworks. He was also know as Lewsyn yr Heliwr (Lewis the Hunter). From here on I shall refer to him as either Lewis or Lewsyn yr Heliwr. Like many other at Merthyr, Lewis has built up some debts which were to be collected by the bailiffs associated with the Court of Requests. However, Lewis and his neighbours were not willing to cooperate, refusing to allow the bailiffs to enter his home and take any of the goods he possessed. The Magistrate for Methyr, J. B. Brice was called to intervene. Eventually Lewis gave up a trunk as payment for his debts.

1 June 1831

A crowd gathered, marching through Merthyr calling for bread and cheese to be given to them. Bread and cheese would prove to be a catchy slogan to the rioters as the situation escalated over the coming days. They continued on to the ironworks of Rowland Fotherfill at Aberdare. Aberdare is just south of Merthyr. There the crowd demanded that wages be maintained.

Meanwhile at Hirawun, to the west of Merthyr, a second disturbance was occurring. Needless to say, Lewis was not too pleased about his trunk being taken as payment and he wanted his property back. A crowd gathered and led by Lewis marched to the house of a shopkeeper and taking the trunk back. Their next destination, Merthyr.

Above is a map of the area showing where Aderdare and Hirwaun are in relation to Merthyr Tydfil.

The crowd led by Lewis marched on to Merthyr. Along the way they decided to follow Lewis lead, attacking the homes of those who had claimed their confiscated property. Many of these homes would have belonged to shopkeepers, the goods seized being their payments of debts. As usually happens with many riots and rebellions, the first singled out are the middle men, the people seen to be the problem in the immediate circumstance rather than the people who call the shots and make this all happen.

They marched on to the house of Thomas Williams, a bailiff who collected debts on behalf of the shopkeepers and the Court of Requests. However, when his wife refused to give certain items to the crows, they ransacked the house entirely.

After the looting, the crowd marched on to the Court of Requests and attacked it and the officials within.

2 June 1831

The crowd that had marched to Merthyr had swelled with the workers from Cyfathfa and Hirwaun and set up outside Castle Inn. David J. V. Jones notes that like the food riots of the eighteenth century there were many women present and they were very vocal. In fact riots such as these are often made up of women, boys and young workers with older, more skilled workers or even middle class men acting as their leaders. Here the puddlers who had been sacked just before the rising began became their leaders. The area surronding Castle Inn was where many of the tradesmen of Merthyr lived. They were particularly centred around the house of Thomas Lewis, one of Merthyr’s hated moneylenders. He was responsible for getting many people into hard times. They forced him to sign a promise to return goods that had been seized.

By this time the crowd has created quite a stir, news spreading fast of the reclaiming of property. The Ironmasters began to realise the intensity of the situation and set up their headquarters and Castle Inn in order to plan and coordinate their response. This forced the local magistrate, J. B. Bruce out to try to diffuse the situation. As when it had started with Lewis reclaiming his property, this was a riot against the much hated Court of Requests. He tried to restore order, defending the works of the Court of Requests. But, of course, the crowd were not buying it. The first port of action was to enrol about 70 Special Constables. These were found amongst the ranks of the tradespeople, the middle men that the crowd had already turned their anger and resentment towards. They were a kind of voluntary police presence, like the special constables today, whose services were employed to keep the peace. While the Metropolitan Police Force had been established by Robert Peel in London, there was no formal police service like it nationally until later in the century. Instead, when unrest occurred military services were utilised. So Bruce sent word to the military authorities in Brecon to prepare their troops in case the situation escalated. This lack of a police force was coupled with a seemingly easy nation in which to keep the peace. Wales was very sparsely populated, with small settlements. The job of keeping the peace was given to the Justices of the Peace (JPS). However, this, much like the political system, was broken. It was built for a rural society which was quickly beginning to be in the days of the past. Places like Merthyr where the population was far more concentrated became far more difficult to police requiring the assistance of military services when the situation got out of hand.

However, Brecon isn’t exactly that close to Merthyr if an emergence situation broke out. Even today, Wales isn’t the most easily traversed nation, especially when concerning the more rural area. At this time there were no railways and an even poorer series of roads connecting Welsh towns and villages. Brecon is situated in the Brecon Beacons a series of hills that would have to be navigated in order to reach Merthyr. Below is a map of the areas, Merthyr situated at the bottom of the expanse of green which is the Beacons and Brecon almost near the top.

This was not the only time issue in their way. The military would be brought in my the JP contacting the Home Secretary by letter who would then, if they approved the request, would pass it on to the Secretary of State for War at the War Office. They would then issue a command to the officer in charge of the nearest garrison when the troops would then be dispatched to help dealt with a riot that had gotten out of hand.

The crowd still did not disperse. Instead the Riot Act had to be read by Anthony Hill the Ironmaster of Plymouth works, in both English and Welsh to ensure that everyone gathered knew and understood what the ramifications of their actions would be. The Riot Act was a piece of legislation that would be read out where a large crowd was “unlawfully, riotously, and tumultuously assembled together” as the words of the act itself says. Officially this was in English, but the act would be translated into Welsh when read if necessary. This was read to inform people that they had a hour to disperse. After an hour, if there were still twelve people there then they were guilty of a capital offence. Strangely enough, only three people needed to be gathered together in order for it to be classed as a riot, but did not carry a death sentence unless there were twelve that remained after the Riot Act was read.

Pictured below is a portion of the riot act, including what would have been read to disperse a gathering.

Nevertheless, the crowd did not disperse. Instead they attacked the house of Thomas Lewis, the moneylender and drove the magistrate away.

The crowd only continued to grow and began to focus o the house of Joseph Coffin, the President of the Court of Requests. They demanded all the books of the court which they burned in the streets. This destroyed the evidence that they had debts to be paid or that their property had been taken in order to pay a debt. It was very reminiscent of the prelude to the French Revolution where the chateaux and records within them were destroyed during the Great Fear. With the fall of Charles X in France happen only the year before, tensions and anxieties were high amongst the ruling class of Britain. There was very little to say that the same could not happen here.

At the same time many workers marched around the ironworks persuading more of them to join their cause and strike. J. B. Bruce saw there was little to be done and the military could not just be on standby anymore. Rather they were necessary to restore order. 52 soldiers from the Royal Glamorgan Light Infantry were dispatched from Cardiff and a detachment of the 93rd Highlanders from Brecon were also sent.

Tomorrow, things would escalate far beyond what the authorities feared.
