title: Mastocytoma

abstract: A mastocytoma or mast cell tumor is a type of round-cell tumor consisting of mast cells. It is found in humans and many animal species; it also can refer to an accumulation or nodule of mast cells that resembles a tumor. Mast cells originate from the bone marrow and are normally found throughout the connective tissue of the body as normal components of the immune system. As they release histamine, they are associated with allergic reactions. Mast cells also respond to tissue trauma. Mast cell granules contain histamine, heparin, platelet-activating factor, and other substances. Disseminated mastocytosis is rarely seen in young dogs and cats, while mast cell tumors are usually skin tumors in older dogs and cats. Although not always malignant, they do have the potential to be. Up to 25 percent of skin tumors in dogs are mast cell tumors, with a similar number in cats.

# Mastocytoma

A **mastocytoma** or **mast cell tumor** is a type of round-cell tumor consisting of mast cells. It is found in humans and many animal species; it also can refer to an accumulation or nodule of mast cells that resembles a tumor.

Mast cells originate from the bone marrow and are normally found throughout the connective tissue of the body as normal components of the immune system. As they release histamine, they are associated with allergic reactions. Mast cells also respond to tissue trauma. Mast cell granules contain histamine, heparin, platelet-activating factor, and other substances. Disseminated mastocytosis is rarely seen in young dogs and cats, while mast cell tumors are usually skin tumors in older dogs and cats. Although not always malignant, they do have the potential to be. Up to 25 percent of skin tumors in dogs are mast cell tumors, with a similar number in cats.

## Signs and symptoms

### Humans

When mastocytomas affect humans, they are typically found in skin. They usually occur as a single lesion on the trunk or wrist. Although it is rare, mastocytomas are sometimes found in the lung. It can also affect children.

### Animals

Mast cell tumors are known among veterinary oncologists as 'the great pretenders' because their appearance can be varied, from a wart-like nodule to a soft subcutaneous lump (similar on palpation to a benign lipoma) to an ulcerated skin mass. Most mast cell tumors are small, raised lumps on the skin. They may be hairless, ulcerated, or itchy. They are usually solitary, but in about six percent of cases, there are multiple mast cell tumors (especially in Boxers and Pugs).

Manipulation of the tumor may result in redness and swelling from release of mast cell granules, also known as Darier's sign, and prolonged local hemorrhage. In rare cases, a highly malignant tumor is present, and signs may include loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, and anemia. The presence of these signs usually indicates mastocytosis, which is the spread of mast cells throughout the body. Release of a large amount of histamine at one time can result in ulceration of the stomach and duodenum (present in up to 25 percent of cases) or disseminated intravascular coagulation. When metastasis does occur, it is usually to the liver, spleen, lymph nodes and bone marrow.

## Diagnosis

A needle aspiration biopsy of the tumor will typically show a large number of mast cells. This is sufficient to make the diagnosis of a mast cell tumor, although poorly differentiated mast cells may have few granules and thus are difficult to identify. The granules of the mast cell stain blue to dark purple with a Romanowsky stain, and the cells are medium-sized. However, a surgical biopsy is required to find the grade of the tumor. The grade depends on how well the mast cells are differentiated, mitotic activity, location within the skin, invasiveness, and the presence of inflammation or necrosis.

* Grade I – well differentiated and mature cells with a low potential for metastasis
* Grade II – intermediately differentiated cells with potential for local invasion and moderate metastatic behavior
* Grade III – undifferentiated, immature cells with a high potential for metastasis

However, there is a significant amount of discordance between veterinary pathologists in assigning grades to mast cell tumors due to imprecise criteria.

The disease is also staged according to the WHO system:

* Stage I - a single skin tumor with no spread to lymph nodes
* Stage II - a single skin tumor with spread to lymph nodes in the surrounding area
* Stage III - multiple skin tumors or a large tumor invading deep to the skin with or without lymph node involvement
* Stage IV – a tumor with metastasis to the spleen, liver, or bone marrow, or with the presence of mast cells in the blood

X-rays, ultrasound, or lymph node, bone marrow, or organ biopsies may be necessary to stage the disease.

## Treatment and prognosis

Removal of the mast cell tumor through surgery is the treatment of choice. Antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine, are given prior to surgery to protect against the effects of histamine released from the tumor. Wide margins (two to three centimeters) are required because of the tendency for the tumor cells to be spread out around the tumor. If complete removal is not possible due to the size or location, additional treatment, such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy, may be necessary. Prednisone is often used to shrink the remaining tumor portion. H2 blockers, such as cimetidine, protect against stomach damage from histamine. Vinblastine and lomustine are common chemotherapy agents used to treat mast cell tumors.

Toceranib and masitinib, examples of receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, are used in the treatment of canine mast cell tumors. Both were recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as dog-specific anticancer drugs.

Grade I or II mast cell tumors that can be completely removed have a good prognosis. One study showed about 23 percent of incompletely removed grade II tumors recurred locally. Any mast cell tumor found in the gastrointestinal tract, paw, or on the muzzle has a guarded prognosis. Previous beliefs that tumors in the groin or perineum carried a worse prognosis have been discounted. Tumors that have spread to the lymph nodes or other parts of the body have a poor prognosis. Any dog showing symptoms of mastocytosis or with a grade III tumor has a poor prognosis. Dogs of the Boxer breed have a better than average prognosis because of the relatively benign behavior of their mast cell tumors. Multiple tumors that are treated similarly to solitary tumors do not seem to have a worse prognosis.

Mast cell tumors do not necessarily follow the histological prognosis. Further prognostic information can be provided by AgNOR stain of histological or cytological specimen. Even then, there is a risk of unpredictable behavior.

## Other animals

Mast cell tumors are an uncommon occurrence in horses. They usually occur as benign, solitary masses on the skin of the head, neck, trunk, and legs. Mineralization of the tumor is common. In pigs and cattle, mast cell tumors are rare. They tend to be solitary and benign in pigs and multiple and malignant in cattle. Mast cell tumors are found in the skin of cattle most commonly, but these may be metastases from tumors of the viscera. Other sites in cattle include the spleen, muscle, gastrointestinal tract, omentum, and uterus.

### Dogs

Mast cell tumors mainly occur in older adult dogs, but have been known to occur on rare occasions in puppies. The following breeds are commonly affected by mast cell tumors:

### Cats

Two types of mast cell tumors have been identified in cats, a mast cell type similar to dogs and a histiocytic type that appears as subcutaneous nodules and may resolve spontaneously. Young Siamese cats are at an increased risk for the histiocytic type, although the mast cell type is the most common in all cats and is considered to be benign when confined to the skin.

Mast cell tumors of the skin are usually located on the head or trunk. Gastrointestinal and splenic involvement is more common in cats than in dogs; 50 percent of cases in dogs primarily involved the spleen or intestines. Gastrointestinal mast cell tumors are most commonly found in the muscularis layer of the small intestine, but can also be found in the large intestine. It is the third most common intestinal tumor in cats, after lymphoma and adenocarcinoma.

Diagnosis and treatment are similar to that of the dog. Cases involving difficult to remove or multiple tumors have responded well to strontium-90 radiotherapy as an alternative to surgery. The prognosis for solitary skin tumors is good, but guarded for tumors in other organs. Histological grading of tumors has little bearing on prognosis.

# Mason Jobst

**Mason Kane Jobst** (born February 17, 1994) is an American professional ice hockey left winger. He currently plays for the Rochester Americans in the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Growing up in Indiana, Jobst played high school ice hockey for the Zionsville High School. Once making the jump to the Muskegon Lumberjacks of the United States Hockey League (USHL), Jobst played four seasons with them, serving as team captain each of his last two years. During this time, he committed to play NCAA Division I ice hockey for the Ohio State Buckeyes men's ice hockey team.

As a collegiate ice hockey player, Jobst was named a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award and Big Ten Men's Ice Hockey Player of the Year. As a senior, he also earned First Team All-Big Ten accolades and was named a CCM/AHCA Second Team West All-American.

## Early life and education

Jobst was born on February 17, 1994, in Speedway, Indiana, U.S. to parents John and Amy. While both his parents were athletes growing up, he began playing ice hockey after receiving a hockey stick from his aunt. As a result, he learned how to skate at his grandfather's pond in Illinois and during trips to Pan Am Plaza before eventually enrolling in organized hockey leagues at the age of five. Growing up, Jobst was a fan of the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Jobst attended and graduated from Speedway Senior High School.

## Playing career

Jobst also took part in USA Hockey’s annual player development camp in Rochester, New York, where he led the camp in scoring during his second year there. He was eventually drafted by the Muskegon Lumberjacks of the United States Hockey League (USHL) in 2011 but was reassigned to his AAA team. He began the 2011–12 season with the Indiana Jr. Ice U-18 team before joining the Lumberjacks and skating in 32 games. The following year, Jobst suffered a shoulder injury in October which led to surgery in May 2013 and a delayed start to the 2013–14 USHL season. Jobst committed to play NCAA Division I ice hockey for the Ohio State Buckeyes men's ice hockey team in October 2014, choosing them over Penn State, Nebraska-Omaha, and Western Michigan. Shortly thereafter, he suffered another shoulder injury which sidelined him for most of the season. As a result, he enrolled at Muskegon Community College and eased into a physical rehabilitation program.

### Collegiate

Jobst joined the Buckeyes for his freshman year during the 2015–16 season while majoring in real estate and urban analysis. By January, Jobst was the second-leading freshman scorer with six goals and 14 assists across the Big Ten. He was also named the Big Ten Third Star of the Week ending on January 19, 2016, after he led the league with seven points and continued his point streak to six games. As a result of his successful output, Jobst helped the Buckeyes advance to the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament. While the Buckeyes lost to Minnesota, Jobst was selected for the Big Ten All-Freshman Team.

Jobst returned to the Buckeyes for his sophomore season, where he led the league with 55 points in 39 games. Throughout the season, Jobst was named B1G First Star after recording three goals and four points at Penn State in January 2017. He ended the year ranking seventh in the NCAA in points and tied for second in assists. As a result, he earned Second Team All-America and First Team All-Big Ten accolades. He was also named an Academic All-Big Ten honoree and Ohio State Scholar-Athlete. Prior to the start of the 2017–18 season, Jobst was named team captain alongside his alternates Sasha Larocque and Luke Stork. He was also invited to participate in the development camps for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins.

As a senior at Ohio State, Jobst recorded a team-leading 17 goals in 35 games and ranked second with 19 assists. Among B1G games, he had 13 goals and 28 points which tied him fourth in points and first in goals among league skaters. In his second year as captain, Jobst scored the game-winning goal in double-overtime to lead Ohio State to the program's first Big Ten regular season hockey championship. Nearing the conclusion of his senior season, Jobst was named a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award, given annually to the top player in NCAA Division I men's hockey. He was also named a Big Ten Men's Ice Hockey Player of the Year finalist and earned First Team All-Big Ten accolades for the second time. He was also named a CCM/AHCA Second Team West All-American for the second time, becoming the first Buckeyes player to do so since 1999 and 1999. A few days later, Jobst also won the B1G Medal of Honor as someone who has "attained the greatest proficiency in athletics and scholastic work." He officially concluded his collegiate career on April 2, 2019, by signing a two-year entry-level contract with the New York Islanders.

### Professional

Prior to the start of the 2020–21 season, Jobst was placed on waivers by the Islanders. Later that year, he was traded to the New Jersey Devils alongside A.J. Greer, the Islanders’ 2021 first-round pick, and a conditional fourth-rounder in 2022 in exchange for Kyle Palmieri and Travis Zajac. Upon joining the team, Greer and Jobst joined the Devils' AHL team, the Binghamton Devils. At the conclusion of the season, Jobst signed a one-year AHL contract with the Rochester Americans, the primary affiliate to the Buffalo Sabres.

In the following 2021–22 season, Jobst appeared in 26 regular season games with the Americans, posting 4 goals and 13 points. On March 28, 2022, Jobst was traded by Rochester to the San Jose Barracuda in exchange for Mark Alt.

As a free agent after his brief tenure with the Barracuda, Jobst returned to the Rochester Americans in the off-season by signing a one-year AHL contract on July 14, 2022.

On July 7, 2023, Jobst continued his tenure with the Americans in signing a one-year contract extension for the 2023–24 season. Responding with a career best offensive season, Jobst co-led the team in scoring with 22 goals and 50 points through 64 regular season games.

On July 1, 2024, Jobst secured a NHL contract, signing a one-year, two-way contract to remain with the Sabres.

## Biography

Fordos was born in Serent and studied pharmacy at Paris where he worked in hospitals thereafter. He met and began to collaborate with Amédée Gélis, another pharmacy intern, and together they established a society for pharmaceutical science and began to conduct research. Their first work was on inorganic compounds. In 1843, the Fordos and Gélis synthesized sodium aurothiosuphate which had an application for fixing daguerreotypes. It was called Fordos and Gelis salt. The chemical became of interest again when it was claimed, in 1925, to show effectiveness in the treatment of tuberculosis. It then came to be called sanocrysin. They also examined sodium tetrathionate and sulfur nitride. In 1860 he examine the blue colour of pus and extracted the compound in crystalline form using chloroform and called in pyocyanine. He examined its physical properties and it was only in 1882 that it was found by Carle Gessard that it was produced by *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* and functioned to kill other competing micro-organisms. He also contributed to studies on lead in waterpipes and its toxicity when used for carrying drinking water.


title: Liberals for Life

abstract: Liberals for Life was an anti-abortion advocacy group that worked within the Liberal Party of Canada during the 1980s and early 1990s. Some of its members were also affiliated with the Campaign Life Coalition and, as such, the group was often accused of entryism. According to its members, Liberals for Life was created after the national victory of Brian Mulroney's Progressive Conservative Party in the 1984 federal election. The organization attracted little attention until the early 1990s, when it endorsed Tom Wappel in his bid for the party leadership, and gained control of several riding associations. Wappel, the Member of Parliament for Scarborough West, had won his party's nomination in 1988 with the support of Liberals for Life and the Campaign Life Coalition, beating Patrick Johnson, a former advisor to Ontario Premier David Peterson and the co-chair of the party's platform committee who had the support of Leader John Turner. The Liberal Party's constitution was amended to allow the leader to appoint candidates in certain ridings in 1992. The party's leader Jean Chrétien defended the change as necessary to prevent "single-issue groups" from taking over the Liberal Party. It was generally understood that Liberals for Life was the primary target of this remark as candidates endorsed by Liberals for Life would ultimately seek nominations in approximately twenty per cent of ridings. Chrétien appointed future MPs Jean Augustine (Etobicoke—Lakeshore), Maria Minna (Beaches—Woodbine), and Georgette Sheridan (Saskatoon—Humboldt) as candidates to block the election of anti-abortion candidates in the 1993 federal election. R. Kenneth Carty, William Cross, and Lisa Young argue that Chrétien's actions "did not reflect a deep commitment to reproductive freedom on the part of the Liberal party; rather, it was motivated by the party's need to retain its ability not to take a stand on this potentially divisive issue." Despite Chrétien's actions, anti-abortion candidates Dan McTeague, Paul Szabo, and Paul Zed were successful in being elected under the Liberal Party banner in 1993. Eddie Goldenberg, then Chrétien's chief policy adviser, argues that the measures Chrétien took ahead of the 1993 election ended Liberals for Life "pretty quickly". The movement effectively dissolved in 1993 after the Liberal Party formed government.

He began his career with the Saskatchewan Hawks of the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) and earned All-Rookie Team honors in 2002. Although he never wore a Bulls uniform, Lampley played 35 games for the Miami Heat during the 2002–03 season and 10 games for the Golden State Warriors during the 2003–04 season. He competed with the Sacramento Kings in 2006 summer league play.

He played with the Oaks Card Club squad in 2006–2007. His signing filled the void left by recently de-listed player Martin Muursepp, who suffered from poor form partly due to an ongoing battle with an ankle injury.

title: William Percy (portrait artist)

abstract: William Percy (1820–1903) was a portrait artist of Manchester, England. He was born in Chorlton-on-Medlock in 1820. His love of art began early in his life: his first picture was exhibited at the Manchester Autumn Festival in 1833. In 1836 he went to London to become a pupil and assistant of William Bradley. He returned to Manchester early in 1839 where he established a first class reputation as a portrait painter. Percy was a founder of the Manchester Academy of Art in 1845. As he wrote later: First - to institute a class for the study of the antique and the living model - the want of which has been long felt by the students and artists of this town as an insuperable bar to professional advancement. Secondly - to collect a library for reference, comprising history, poetry, archeology, optics, anatomy, chemistry, as applied to colour, architecture, sculpture, painting and engraving. In 1882, Percy's painting of poet Edwin Waugh was hung at the Manchester Art Gallery. At an exhibit of 51 of his portraits in 1885, The Manchester Literary Club remarked that, in his water colours of children, Percy was "almost without a rival among living painters." He died at his home in Ashton-on-Mersey on 18 December 1903.

# William S. McNary

**William Sarsfield McNary** (March 29, 1863 – June 26, 1930) was an American Democratic politician who served two terms as a U.S. Representative from Boston, Massachusetts, and exercised tremendous influence over the Massachusetts Democratic Party.

## Early years

McNary was born in Abington, Massachusetts, McNary attended the public schools of Abington and graduated from the Boston English High School.

After graduation, McNary was a reporter and managing editor of *The Boston Commercial Bulletin* from 1880 to 1892.

McNary engaged in the insurance business and a dealt in real estate.

## Entry into politics

McNary served as member of the City of Boston Common Council in 1887 and 1888.

McNary served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1889 to 1890 and the Massachusetts Senate from 1891 to 1892. As State Senator, McNary served as an alternative delegate to the 1892 Democratic National Convention.

In 1893, Robert Grant resigned his position on the Boston Water Board and McNary was appointed to fill the vacancy in July. He served until 1894.

### Failed congressional runs

In 1892, McNary secured the Democratic nomination for Massachusetts's 10th congressional district, centered on the heavily Irish Catholic industrial neighborhoods of South Boston, Roxbury, and Dorchester.

The district was one of the most Democratic in the overwhelmingly Republican state. However, State Senator Michael McEttrick, running as an independent Democrat, won the race in a three-way contest against McNary and Republican Harrison Atwood.

In 1894, McNary again was secured the Democratic Party nomination to challenge McEttrick, but Atwood was the victor in another three-way contest.

### Return to state politics

In 1898, McNary was elected secretary of the Massachusetts Democratic State Committee.

In 1900, McNary returned to the Massachusetts House of Representatives and was elected Chairman of the Massachusetts Democratic Party. McNary was elected a delegate to the 1900 and 1904 Conventions.

## U.S. Representative

### Elections

In 1902, incumbent Irish-born Representative Henry F. Naphen hoped to run again, but McNary used his position as party chair to force Naphen into retirement. With McNary in control of the party apparatus, Naphen decided to quietly drop out of the race rather than after a fight. With the nomination secure, McNary won an easy victory over Republican William W. Towle by a plurality of 6,195 votes.

In 1904, McNary defeated Republican nominee J. B. Crawford by 6,471 votes. He retired in 1906.

In 1910, McNary challenged incumbent Democratic Congressman Joseph F. O'Connell for his old seat in Congress. However, McNary finished third in the primary, which was won by Boston City Councilor James Michael Curley.

## Later career

After retiring from Congress, McNary continued his business pursuits in Boston, Massachusetts. He formed The Drake and Hershey Company, a company that dealt in furniture. In 1915, McNary was one of the founders of the Hanover Trust and served as one of its directors.

In 1912, Governor Eugene Foss appointed McNary to the Massachusetts Harbor and Land Commission. McNary served as its chairman for four years. McNary was also an associate member of the Boston Port Directors for two years.

In 1916, Governor Samuel McCall appointed McNary as a member of the Waterways and Public Lands Commission.

title: William McKenzie (missionary)

abstract:
William John McKenzie was a Canadian missionary to Korea. He was born at West Bay, western Cape Breton Island and studied at Pictou Academy, Dalhousie College, and the Presbyterian College in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He served as a missionary to Labrador in 1888–89, and was ordained as a minister of the Presbyterian Church of Canada in 1891. McKenzie resolved to go to Korea as a missionary, but he was unable to obtain denominational support, so he went as an independent missionary. He arrived in Korea on 12 December 1893. He witnessed both the Donghak Peasant Revolution and the First Sino-Japanese War. McKenzie worked in Songchon "completely isolated from Westerners... he dressed as a Korean scholar, ate only Korean food and set up residence in a Korean house, even sleeping on the traditional Korean ondol." McKenzie instilled a self-supporting spirit in the Korean Christians; Young-sik Yoo calls this "the most remarkable contribution McKenzie made to Korean mission history". He also started a school which taught boys and girls together, "an unheard practice in a Confucian society." In June 1895, McKenzie became ill from sunstroke and typhus, and shot himself. Young-sik Yoo cites the American medical missionary, J. Hunter Wells:
About the first duty as a doctor I was called upon to perform was to investigate the suicide of Mr. McKenzie who was possessed of the erroneous idea of the appropriateness of isolation, exile, Korean food and so forth... when he shot himself he was a victim to the 'isolation-exile' theory. McKenzie's suicide is often omitted in biographical descriptions. Elizabeth McCully's 1903 biography A Corn of Wheat makes no mention of it, but says:
Through that hard night and the Sabbath morning following, he fought bravely for life; but the release was near and the "good soldier of Jesus Christ" was done with his earthly battles. While Mr. Saw and the other Christians were at morning service and a young boy watched beside him, death came. W. Hamish Ion suggests that McKenzie's death "became part of the mythology surrounding missionary work in Korea," and that to Presbyterians in the Maritimes, he had "died a martyr's death." Yoo notes that His suicide in 1895, after less than two years in the field, prompted the Presbyterian Church Council of the Maritime to assume stricter control over the movement. From this time onwards, only "regular", i.e. officially-sanctioned, missionaries were dispatched to Korea. This change marked the formal beginning of organized Canadian Presbyterian mission work in Korea, which started in 1898.]After Mckenzie's death, the Foreign Mission Committee sent William Foote, Robert Grierson, and Duncan MacRae to officially establish mission work in Korea.

# William O'Brien, 4th Earl of Inchiquin

**William O'Brien, 4th Earl of Inchiquin**, KB, PC(I) (1700 – 18 July 1777) was an Irish peer, Chief of Clan O'Brien, and Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1722 and 1754.

## Background

O'Brien was the eldest son of William O'Brien, 3rd Earl of Inchiquin, and his wife, Mary (née Villiers), sister of the 1st Earl of Jersey, and inherited his father's titles in 1719. He founded the predecessor of the present day Royal Cork Yacht Club, the *Water Club of the Cork Harbour*, in 1720.

## Political career

Inchiquin was Whig Member of Parliament for Windsor from 1722 to 1727, for Tamworth from 1727 to 1734, for Camelford from 1741 to 1747 and for Aylesbury from 1747 to 1754. In 1725, he had been appointed a Knight Companion of the Order of the Bath. From 1740 to 1741, he was Grand Master of the Premier Grand Lodge of England, Governor of County Clare from 1741 to 1777 and Custos Rotulorum of Clare from 1762 to 1767. From 1744 to 1751, he was a Lord of the Bedchamber to Frederick, Prince of Wales, and admitted to the Privy Council of Ireland in 1753.

On his death in 1777, without surviving male heirs, his titles passed to his nephew, Murrough O'Brien, who was later created Marquess of Thomond.

## Family

On 29 March 1720, he married his cousin, Lady Anne Hamilton, the eldest daughter and heiress of George Hamilton, 1st Earl of Orkney, and his wife Elizabeth (née Villiers). His wife became 2nd Countess of Orkney in her own right in 1737. They had five children:

* Lady Mary (c.1721–1791), later 3rd Countess of Orkney
* William, styled Lord O'Brien (1725–1727)
* George, styled Lord O'Brien (1727–1728)
* Augustus, styled Lord O'Brien (died in infancy)
* Murrough, styled Lord O'Brien, later styled Viscount Kirkwall (1731–1741)

He married, secondly, Mary Moore, daughter of Stephen Moore, 1st Viscount Mount Cashell and Alicia Colville, on 12 October 1761

Additionally, Inchiquin was feted by antiquarians and many of the works of Irish history produced at this time are dedicated to him; as an Anglican deriving his lineage from an old Gaelic family, he was a politique choice for those wishing to disseminate their work in Ascendancy Ireland and Hanoverian Britain.

title: William Overton Callis

# William Overton Callis

**William O. Callis** (March 4, 1756 – March 14, 1814) was the son of William Harry Callis and Mary Jane Cosby. He was a childhood friend of Presidents James Madison and James Monroe, was with Washington at Yorktown, and was known to Lafayette, Thomas Jefferson, and Benedict Arnold.

## Early life

William Overton Callis was born March 4, 1756, near Urbanna, Virginia. He was the son of William and Mary (Cosby) Callis. His mother was third in descent from William Overton and Mary Waters.

His mother's first cousin was Dabney Carr, a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses and his wife, Martha Jefferson. Martha was the sister of President Thomas Jefferson and she was also a cousin of William's second wife, Anne Price. Martha's mother was Jane Randolph, daughter of Isham Randolph, a ship's captain and sometime planter, first cousin to Peyton Randolph, and granddaughter of wealthy English gentry. Martha's father was Peter Jefferson, a planter and surveyor in Albemarle County (Shadwell, then Edge Hill, Virginia.) He was of Welsh descent. When Colonel William Randolph, an old friend of Peter Jefferson, died in 1745, Peter assumed executorship and personal charge of William Randolph's estate in Tuckahoe as well as his infant son, Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr. That year the Jeffersons relocated to Tuckahoe where they would remain for the next seven years before returning to their home in Albemarle. Peter Jefferson was then appointed to the Colonelcy of the county, an important position at the time.

Dabney and Martha were the parents of Dabney Carr and nephew of Dabney Smith Carr, who was a newspaper publisher and later was U.S. Minister to Turkey (1843–49).

In 1774, he was tutored, along with James Madison and James Monroe, by Parson John Todd who established in his home near Ochid the first classical school in Louisa County. With Monroe, Callis entered the College of William & Mary at age 17; he left college in late 1775 to join the Continental Army.

## Marriage and family

He married first, about 1783, Martha Elizabeth Winston (June 21, 1765 - April 29, 1788). They were the parents of three children.

He married, as his second wife, on May 4, 1790, in Louisa County, Virginia, Anne Price. She was born on November 4, 1774, at "Cool Water", Hanover County, Virginia and died on September 8, 1846, at Doswell, Hanover County, Virginia. They were the parents of nine children.

She was the daughter of Captain Thomas Randolph Price, who served as an officer in the Virginia militia during the American Revolutionary War and was a participant in the Gunpowder Incident and Barbara Overton "Betsy" Winston. Barbara was a first cousin of Martha Elizabeth Winston, the first wife of William Overton Callis.

Anne was a descendant of Cicely Wilford and the Most Reverend Dr. Edwin Sandys, an Anglican church leader who successively held the posts of the Bishop of Worcester (1559–1570), Bishop of London (1570–1576), and the Archbishop of York (1576–1588); Sir George Barne III (1532- d. 1593), the Lord Mayor of London and a prominent merchant and public official from London during the reign of Elizabeth I; William Randolph (bapt. November 7, 1650 – April 11, 1711) was a colonist and land owner who played an important role in the history and government of the Commonwealth of Virginia. He and his wife, Mary Isham, are referred to as "the Adam and Eve of Virginia"; Richard Lovelace, an English poet in the seventeenth century and Francis Lovelace (1621–1675), who was the second governor of the New York colony appointed by the Duke of York, later King James II of England.

Anne was the great great great granddaughter of Captain Thomas Todd who married Elizabeth Bernard making her a cousin of Mary Todd Lincoln. Thomas and Elizabeth were also the great great grandparents of President James Madison. In 1664 Thomas Todd came from England and settled in Ware Parish, Gloucester Co., Va., bringing with him his wife and one or two children born in England. He was a ship master and died at sea in 1676. His wife was Ann Gorsuch, dau, of Rev. John Gorsuch, Rector of Walkham, Hertfordshire and his wife Anne, dau. of Sir William Lovelace. Their children were Thomas, Christopher, James, William, Philip, Joanna, Anne, Frances and Isabella. One of the descendants of Capt. Thomas Todd, the eldest child, was the distinguished jurist, Thomas Todd of Kentucky, who after filling the highest judicial offices in that State was appointed by President Jefferson one of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, and held that office from 1807 till his death in 1824. His abilities and character won him the personal friendship of Chief Justice Marshall, and of the foremost men in the country. His eldest son, Charles Scott Todd was graduated at William and Mary College, practiced law in Frankfort, Ky. In the war of 1812 he was appointed Secretary of State of Kentucky by Gov. Madison; he was sent on a confidential mission to Colombia by the United States Government in 1820, and was appointed minister to Russia by President Tyler in 1841.

Judge Todd's second wife was Lucy Payne sister of Mrs. President Madison; but when he married her she was the widow of George Steptoe Washington, youngest son (by the fourth of his five wives,) of Samuel Washington, brother of George Washington first President of the United States. Isabella the youngest child of Capt. Thomas Todd the immigrant, married John Madision the son of a wealthy planter of the same name, who was the original immigrant of that family. They had two sons, Ambrose and John, the latter was the father of the Right Rev. James Madison, President of William and Mary College, and first Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Virginia, and of his brother George Madison, Gov. of Kentucky. Ambrose married Frances Taylor sister of Zachary Taylor, who was the grandfather of Gen. Zachary Taylor, the thirteenth President of the United States. The wife of President Madison was Dorothea (commonly called Dolly) Payne, though when he married her she was the widow of John Todd, a promising and wealthy young lawyer in Philadelphia. She and her sister Lucy (Judge Todd's second wife) were daughters of John Payne and Mary Coles, a first cousin of Patrick Henry, and grand-daughter of John Payne who came to Virginia early in the eighteenth century, and Anna Fleming, grand-daughter of Sir Thomas Fleming, one of the early settlers of Jamestown, Va. Their family belonged to the society of Friends, and their mother and Grandmother had been as celebrated as they were for beauty and charming manners. The Jefferson and Madison families were very intimate, and as President Jefferson was a widower, and his daughters were married and had duties elsewhere, he was accustomed to ask Mrs. Madison to preside at the social functions in the White House. For President Jefferson's two terms, and for her husband's two terms, therefore, in other words, for sixteen years, she was virtually mistress of the presidential mansion. During her long tenure of this elevated position she became widely known and universally admired and beloved. In some respects she was the most remarkable woman which this country has produced.

## War service

In November 1775, he became a Private, 1st Regiment, Capt. John Belfield's Troop, Light Dragoons, Continental Troops commanded by Col. Theoderick Bland.

On September 27, 1776, he enlisted in Col. Charles Dabney's Reg, Capt. Arthur Smith's Company of the 4th Virginia Regiment commanded by Col. Thomas Elliott. He was in New York City in the Battle of the Heights and in Washington's army through his retreat from New York across New Jersey.

On January 12, 1777, he was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in Capt. John Smith's Company of the 4th Virginia Regiment of Foot, commanded by Col. Robert Lawson.

### Valley Forge

In June 1778, he was commissioned a 1st Lieutenant in Capt. George Wall's Company of the 5th Virginia Regiment of Foot, commanded by Col. James Wood, where he saw service at Camp Valley Forge, Camp Parsinus, Camp White Plains, and Camp Robert's Farm.

On September 30, 1778, he was wounded and listed as a supernumerary after his lungs were damaged by a cannonball at Monmouth. He left the war to go to the West Indies in Havana and Caracas in 1779 to recuperate. After recuperating, he re-entered the service, and in December 1780, he was a Captain of Volunteer Troop of Horses in the 4th Virginia Militia.1

### At Yorktown

March 8, 1781 Yorktown—Letter from Capt. James Maxwell to Gov Jefferson described how a plundering party of about 300 British regulars under Col. Dundas were chased from Yorktown to Newport News by Maj. Callis & Lt. Allen with a small force of volunteers.

On April 6, 1781, now a Major, Callis delivered letters from Brig Gen. Weedon to the British Maj. Gen. W Phillips, Portsmouth, regarding the exchange of prisoners.

After the Siege of Yorktown, March 8, 1781, Capt. James Maxwell wrote a letter to Gov. Thomas Jefferson and described how a plundering party of about 300 British regulars under Col. Dundas were chased from Yorktown to Newport News by Maj. Callis & Lt. Allen with a small force of volunteers.

### Meets Benedict Arnold

On August 1, 1781, having been promoted to Colonel, Callis reported on the fleet in the Portsmouth area to Brig Gen. Weedon at Williamsburg. Louis L. Kean relates how his great-great-great-grandmother Anne (Price) Callis told her grandchildren that Callis met with Benedict Arnold on the James River to arrange for the exchange of prisoners of war. As they waited for the papers to be processed, Arnold asked what would happen if he, Arnold, were taken prisoner. Callis replied, "Sir, the leg that was wounded in the service of your country would be buried with full military honors. The rest of you, they would hang!" A footnote in Irving's *Life of Washington* (p. 286) relates this incident but does not name the officer.

### Aide to General Nelson

In his widow's application for a pension in 1847, she stated her husband acted as aide de camp to Gen. Nelson in 1781 during the period when the British fleet under Adm. Graves was in Hampton Roads and Lord Cornwallis was operating by land.

### Lafayette's letter to Jefferson

In the *Virginia Magazine of History* (V375) was printed a letter from Lafayette to Governor Jefferson, dated July 1, 1781. Lyons Plantation-- "I had yesterday the pleasure to see Maj. Callis and am happy to find you have established a chain of liaison between this camp and the seat of government." Lafayette mentioned the enemy's retreat from Richmond, and their arrival at Williamsburg. He suggested that he go and fight Cornwallis. His troops had managed to get clear of the smallpox; but his men were deserting to harvest their crops. He suggested arming two corps of volunteers of 120 men each with spears (for lack of better weapons), forming a corp of 150 negro pioneers and a corp of 150 negro wagoners to collect horses and weapons from the countryside. "Col. Callis is going up for that same affair (equipping a cavalry) and to him I beg leave to refer your excellency."

In 1782, Col. Callis was at the siege of Yorktown with Lafayette for Cornwallis's surrender; he was an aide to Gen. Nelson.

### Col. Banastre Tarleton

During the siege of Yorktown, Capt. Callis was amused when a farmer dashed into the street and grabbed the bridle of the intensely disliked British Col. Tarleton's mount, declaring loudly, "This here be my horse that the damned Britishers stole"—and got his horse back. St. George Tucker, in his journal on the siege of Yorktown, corroborated that Capt. Callis was a witness of this incident. This is the hated British officer portrayed in the movie *The Patriot* (2000). The character in the movie (Colonel William Tavington) was based on Tarleton as a cruel, sadistic commander who massacred prisoners of war and innocent civilians.

Callis' Revolutionary War service was a total of 7 years and 10 months.

## Later life

### Society of Cincinnati

In early May 1783, Callis became a charter member of the Society of Cincinnati, along with Gen. Washington. In 1787, the Society held its meeting a week before the Constitutional Convention when the Articles of Confederation was replaced by the Constitution. 21 of the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention were members of the Society. William Overton Callis was one of the 21.

### Cool Springs

On December 7, 1785, he bought Cool Springs plantation, comprising 660 acres (2.7 km2), from Thomas and Lucy Poindexter for 120 pounds. It was near the crossroads of Cuckoo. On January 19, 1788, he bought 340 acres (1.4 km2) from Robert & Barbara Barrett 25 for 320 pounds. By 1788, he was the 50th largest land owner, 57th wealthiest land owner, and the 70th largest slave owner in Louisa County. He owned over 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) worth then around 500 pounds. He owned 15 slaves, 5 horses, and 15 cattle.

#### Constitutional convention and politics

In 1788, he was a representative from Louisa County to the Virginia Ratifying Convention where they ratified United States Constitution. Virginia was not necessarily as a whole inclined to ratify. There were eight representatives, one of which is our subject here, whose constituency was decidedly against ratification. Callis was persuaded to vote for the ratification against his citizen's opinion. Had he and the other seven not changed their votes, Virginia would not have ratified the constitution, at least at that vote. (Wm. Writ Henry, Life of Patrick Henry)

He was a representative to the Virginia General Assembly from Louisa County for 17 years.

Callis was an elector from Virginia in Washington's unanimous election to a second term in 1793. Until 1800, each elector had two votes. Callis voted with all the other electors unanimously using one vote for Washington. His second vote went for Republican George Clinton of New York as did the other electors from Virginia. Washington won president with 132 votes, but Clinton came in third with 50 votes behind Federalist John Adams (77 votes), who became vice president. George Clinton later became Governor of New York (1777) and ultimately become VP (1805–1812) under both Jefferson and Madison.

#### Letters from Thomas Jefferson

During the time between serving as the first Secretary of State and as the second vice president on May 8, 1795, Thomas Jefferson wrote to Callis at Cuckoo, requesting him to negotiate the purchase of Nance, a 34-year-old weaver, from Jefferson's brother-in-law Hastings Marks; Jefferson was resuming the business of domestic manufacture and needed a weaver but must pay for her out of next year's crops. Callis lived less than 40 miles from Monticello.

While serving as president, Jefferson responds to a letter from Callis asking Jefferson for a position for Callis' son in the Navy. "Washington, July 19,04 In receipt of your letter asking employment in the Navy for your son. I enclosed it to the Secretary of the Navy. He is at present at Baltimore. His answer is that your son can take his station with the midshipmen, and that his first employment will be in one of the gunboats. You omitted to mention his name, or the warrant would now have been sent. As I set out for Montecello in six days, it will be shorter for you to address the information to Robert Smith, Secretary of the Navy at Baltimore. He will forward the warrant and instructions to whatever place you shall direct. Accept my friendly salutations and assurances of great asteem and respect. Thos Jefferson"

#### Retirement, death, and burial

In 1790, he built his last home, "Needmore", in Cuckoo, Virginia across the road from his ordinary Cuckoo Tavern which he also bought in 1807. Needmore was a large two-story southern style frame farmhouse.

http://www.schutzfamily.us/

It was at Cuckoo Tavern during the war that Jack Jouett overheard English officers plotting the capture of Gov. Jefferson and the Virginia legislature, then convened at Monticello. Jouett made the perilous ride over back roads in the dead of night to warn them so they were long gone when the British arrived the next day.

In 1800, Callis retired from politics. On March 14, 1814, he died at his Needmore home; he is buried in Fork Episcopal Church Cemetery, Point of Fork, 12566 Old Ridge Road, Doswell, Va Hanover County, Virginia, with his second wife Ann (Price) Callis. General Nelson's wife is also buried in this cemetery.(3) The Fork Church is 15 miles (24 km) north of Richmond and 1/2 mile east of Cool Water. This church was also that of Patrick Henry, and they were fellow attendees during their lives.

After Callis' death in 1814, Needmore was sold four years later in 1818 to Henry Pendleton. In 1912, it was torn down and replaced by the home of the present Pendleton family.

# William Peryn

**William Peryn** (died 1558) was an English Roman Catholic priest and Dominican friar who in the reign of Mary I became prior of the short-lived Priory of St Bartholomew's, Smithfield, London.

## Life

Peryn was educated at Blackfriars in Oxford and there are records of him being there in 1529 and 1531, the year in which he was ordained. He went to London and was a preacher strongly against heresy, and a chaplain to Sir John Port. Soon after Henry VIII’s Royal Act of Supremacy, 1534, he went into exile, but in 1543returned to England, when he applied for the degree of Bachelor of Theology at Oxford. He became a chantrist at St Paul's and early in 1547 preached in favour of images in religious services.

With the accession of the Protestant Edward VI in 1547, Peryn went into exile again, spending several years in Louvain before returning to England in 1553 upon the accession of the Roman Catholic Mary I. That year, he was appointed prior of the Dominican house at St Bartholomew's in Smithfield, London, the first religious house founded by Mary. On 8 February 1556 Peryn is recorded by the diarist Henry Machyn as preaching at Paul's Cross.

Peryn was the author of three books: *Thre Godly Sermons of the Sacrament of the Aulter* (1546); *Spirituall exercyses and goostly meditacions, and a neare waye to come to perfection and lyfe contemplatyve* (1557); and *De frequenter celebranda missa* (of which no copy survives).

The three godly sermons were originally preached at St Anthony's Hospital in London and are dedicated to Edmund Bonner, Bishop of London. Peryn borrowed heavily from Bishop of Rochester John Fisher's *De veritate corporis et sanguinis Christi in eucharistia*, and in a preface he explains why he has published the sermons:

> ... in homely and playne sentens, by cause that I have cheflye prepared them ... for the unlearned. And the veryte (beyng delectable and bewtifull of herselfe) nedeth not, the gorgius ornamentes, of eloquens. Also the matters of our fayth, hath moche lesse nede of rethoricall perswacyons, havynge theyr grond, and fundacyon, upon the infallyble veritie, of goddes holy worde.

Peryn's *Spirituall exercyses* was dedicated to two exiled English nuns: Katherine Palmer, abbess of the nuns at Syon in Isleworth, and Dorothy Clement, a Poor Clare at Louvain and the daughter of Sir Thomas More's adopted daughter Margaret Clement. It was also based on Nicolaus van Esch's *Exercitia theologiae mysticae*. This work by Peryn was to have a long readership among English recusants and was much treasured by Margaret Clitheroe. It would be republished by a Catholic press of Caen in 1598.

Peryn died in 1558 and was buried in St Bartholomew's on 22 August, at the high altar.

title: William Wingfield (MP for Bodmin)

abstract: William Wingfield KC, MP, was an attorney, judge, and Member of Parliament in 19th century England.

text:
# William Wingfield (MP for Bodmin)

**William Wingfield** (later **William Wingfield-Baker**) KC, MP (1772 – 21 March 1858), was an attorney, judge, and Member of Parliament in 19th century England.

## Early years

Born in Mickleham, Surrey, England, William was the second son of George Wingfield (died May 1774) of Mickleham. His mother, Mary, was the niece of George Sparrow.

William's brother, George Wingfield, Lord of Akeld, later took the surname Sparrow to comply with the will of a great uncle. The other siblings included three sisters:

* Anne (married Rev. Thomas Henry Hume, Canon of Salisbury, in 1793),
* Elizabeth (married John James in 1797),
* and Mary (married John Basset in 1790).

William's paternal grandfather, also named William Wingfield, owned property in Cleadon.

He entered Christ Church, Oxford in 1789, and received a B.A. degree in 1792. He was admitted to Lincoln's Inn in 1792 and called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn five years later. His early practise was as an equity draftsman, in all likelihood because of the Inn's historical association with the Court of Chancery.

## Career

Wingfield served for a short time as a member of parliament for Bodmin during the period of 1806 to 1807 alongside Davies Gilbert. In 1818, he became a Bencher, and was appointed King's Counsel. Eight years later, he was a proprietor (one of 700) of the Russell Institution, a school of literature and science in Victorian London. Wingfield became Chief Justice of the Brecon Circuit. He was appointed Master in Chancery in 1824 upon the death of Sir John Simeon, 1st Baronet.

He held several positions within the Honorable Society of Lincoln's Inn including Master of the Walks in 1824, Keeper of the Black Book in 1825, Dean of the Chapel in 1827, and Treasurer in 1828.

He was a Trustee of the Law Fire Insurance Society.

## Personal life

In 1796, he married Lady Charlotte-Maria (died 1807), eldest daughter of Henry Digby, 1st Earl Digby by whom he had several children, including:

In 1813, he married Elizabeth, daughter of William Mills of Bitterne, Hampshire, a former East India Company director. They had several children, including:

He resided for a time at 29 Montague Street in London.

Wingfield legally changed his surname to Wingfield-Baker in 1849 by Royal licensure after his inheritance of Orsett Hall. The inheritance occurred by will when Richard Baker left his estate, Orsett Hall, to his brother's nephew by marriage to Lady St Aubyn (née Elizabeth Wingfield).

Wingfield died in 1859 at Sherborne Castle, the home of his eldest son, and is buried at Orsett. A window inscribed in his honour was erected by his children at Gulval Church.

Thomas Creevey described Wingfield as 'the most successful humbug simpleton I have known all my life'.

## Life

Dewart was born in Fenelon Falls, Ontario, on January 29, 1875, to William Dewart and Jessie Graham. The family moved to Rochester, New York in about 1881. When he was fourteen he began work in a button factory, and later worked in the railroad business, on a wrecking train and later in the machine shops. In 1898 he was hired by Frank Munsey as an office manager, at a wage of $12 per week, at his New London, Connecticut offices, and within eighteen months was made head book-keeper of Munsey's distribution company, The Red Star News Company, and assistant superintendent of the publishing plant.
