# William Caulfeild (1665–1737)

William Caulfield (1665 – 24 August 1737) was an Irish barrister, Law Officer and judge: one of his sons became Lord Chief Justice of Ireland.
He sat in the Irish House of Commons for Tulsk, and was later raised to the bench as justice of the Court of King's Bench (Ireland), and served on that Court 1715–1734.
He was son of Thomas Caulfield of Donamon Castle (died 1691) and Anne Moore, and grandson of William Caulfield, 2nd Baron Caulfeild, and of Charles Moore, 2nd Viscount Moore of Drogheda.
As a wealthy landowner, he did not have to earn a living, and he was not called to the Irish Bar until he was forty, having previously entered Middle Temple. He became Second Serjeant in 1708, resigning in 1711, and was appointed Prime Serjeant in 1714. As a Law Officer he was noted for his zeal in dealing with agrarian disturbances.
Ball states that he owed his career advancement entirely to his Whig sympathies, but he seems to have been a conscientious enough judge. As Ball also notes he and his King's Bench colleagues dealt with all indictable crimes in Dublin city and county. The workload was heavy, and the late 1720s and early 1730s were noted for a number of much-publicised trials, such as that of the surgeon John Audoen, convicted and executed for the murder of his maid Margaret Keeffe in 1728. Another notable trial was that of Daniel Kimberley, an attorney who was charged with forcing a wealthy twelve-year-old girl, Bridget Reading, into marriage with one of his clients in 1730. In 1719 while on assize Caulfield narrowly escaped death when the roof of Roscommon Courthouse collapsed, with the loss of many lives.
The heavy workload affected Caulfield's health; he was unable to go on assize from 1730 onwards. He visited London and Bath in hopes of a cure. He retired on health grounds in 1734.
He married Lettice, daughter of Sir Arthur Gore, 1st Baronet by his wife Eleanor, daughter of Sir George St George (knight of Carrickdrumrusk), and was father of (among others) Thomas Caulfeild, Toby Caulfeild, and St George Caulfeild, all of whom were also MPs for Tulsk: St. George became Lord Chief Justice, and one of the most beloved Irish judges of his time.
William's residence was Donamon Castle, County Roscommon, which he inherited from his father in 1691.

# William Duell (criminal)

William Duell was 17 years old when he was convicted of the rape of Sarah Griffin in Acton, London, England. He was sentenced to death. On 24 November 1740, he was hanged in Tyburn, along with four others, but survived the hanging; his sentence was commuted to transportation to America, where he died at an advanced age following the revolution.

## Hanging and revival

Duell's body hung for about 20 minutes before being cut down. It was then brought to the Anatomy Theatre at the Worshipful Company of Barbers and Surgeons to be anatomised for medical training.
Duell was stripped and laid on the board, about to be dissected. However, one of the servants noticed that he had begun breathing slowly. Duell's breath got quicker and quicker; he was then bled, and in two hours, he was able to sit upright. That night, he was taken back to prison in Newgate. Duell, suffering from a fever and delirium during his trial and execution, had no recollection of the hanging.
It was suggested that his bad state was what ultimately saved his life. By the following day, he was back to full health. Meanwhile, the public had apparently found out what happened to Duell, and there was great excitement over his case. The authorities decided to change his sentence to penal transportation. He was exiled for life to North America. He lived the rest of his life in Boston and was reported to have died sometime in 1805.
# Wilkiea hylandii

Wilkiea hugeliana is a species of flowering plant in the family Monimiaceae, and is endemic to Cape York Peninsula in far northern Queensland. It is a shrub or small tree with elliptic, sometimes toothed leaves, and male and female flowers on separate plants. Male flowers usually have 4 pairs of stamens and female flowers have about 40 carpels, and the fruit is a glossy black drupe with enlarged orange receptacles.

# William Nelson, 1st Earl Nelson

William Nelson, 1st Earl Nelson, 2nd Duke of Bronte (20 April 1757 – 28 February 1835), was an Anglican clergyman and an older brother of Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson.

## Life

Born in Burnham Thorpe, he was a son of the Reverend Edmund Nelson (1722–1802), and the Nelson family had been settled in Norfolk for many generations. The Reverend Edmund Nelson was Rector of Hillborough and of Burnham Thorpe in that county and married Catherine Suckling, whose maternal grandmother Mary was the sister of Robert Walpole and of Horatio Walpole, 1st Baron Walpole of Wolterton. Their fifth but third-surviving son was the renowned naval commander Horatio Nelson.
He was educated at Christ's College, Cambridge, matriculating in 1774, graduating B.A. 1778, M.A. 1781, D.D. 1802. He was ordained deacon in 1779 and priest in 1781.
He became rector of Brandon Parva in Norfolk in January 1784, and went to sea that year as a naval chaplain on HMS Boreas (commanded by his brother the future Admiral), but obtained his discharge in October 1786 and returned to Brandon Parva. He became rector of Hilborough in 1797, and a prebendary of Canterbury Cathedral in 1803.
William Nelson succeeded by a special remainder, which included his father's and sisters' male issue, to one of Horatio Nelson's baronies (Baron Nelson, of the Nile and of Hilborough in the County of Norfolk, created in 1801) upon the latter's death at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805, as well as to the dukedom of Bronte, of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. A month later, on 20 November 1805, in honour of his late brother's achievements, he was created Earl Nelson and Viscount Merton, both of Trafalgar and of Merton in the County of Surrey, again with a special remainder including the male issue of his sisters.
He was reportedly an ambitious man, and used Nelson's mistress Emma Hamilton's generosity and hospitality when it served his purpose, including hosting his son Horatio at her home during the Eton school holidays, but cut both her and Horatia Nelson, Emma's daughter by Lord Nelson, off after Nelson's death. He did not respect his brother's wishes to look after Horatia.
He moved to Trafalgar Park after Standlynch Park was renamed thus by an Act of Parliament in 1814.
He died without surviving male issue, Horatio (recently made Viscount Trafalgar) having died at the age of 19 of tuberculosis in 1808, and all of his British titles passed to Thomas Bolton, the son of his sister Susannah. The Sicilian dukedom of Bronte passed to his daughter Charlotte, wife of Samuel Hood, 2nd Baron Bridport.
There is a memorial to him in the crypt at St Paul's Cathedral.

## Family

Nelson married firstly Sarah Yonge, daughter of Rev. Henry Yonge, on 9 November 1786. They had two children:
* Charlotte Mary Nelson (1787–1873), 3rd Duchess of Bronte, married Samuel Hood, 2nd Baron Bridport
* Horatio Nelson (1788–1808), styled Viscount Merton and Viscount Trafalgar
After Sarah's death on 13 April 1828, at the age of 71, Nelson married the much younger Hilare Barlow, daughter of Admiral Sir Robert Barlow, on 26 March 1829.
# William H. McGuffey Boyhood Home Site

The William H. McGuffey Boyhood Home Site is a National Historic Landmark in Mahoning County, Ohio. It is the location where William H. McGuffey (1800-1873), lived for much of his youth. McGuffey is best known as the creator of the McGuffey Readers, a hugely popular set of educational primers. The site, now a regional park known as the McGuffey Wildlife Preserve, was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.

## Description and history

The William H. McGuffey Boyhood Home Site is located in a rural setting of northwestern Coitsville Township east of Youngstown, on the south side of McGuffey Road east of Ohio State Route 616. It is a basically rectangular parcel about 73 acres (30 ha) in size. The parcel is basically flat, with a low ridge running north-south in its eastern part. The original log cabin built by Alexander McGuffey was probably located on that ridge, but there is scholarly disagreement over its precise location.
The original 165.5-acre (67.0 ha) property was first occupied by the McGuffey family as early as 1802, but the family did not purchase it until 1814. William McGuffey was born in Pennsylvania in 1800, and spent his youth on this property. McGuffey was a prominent proponent of public school education, and taught at Miami University for many years. While there, he published his series of McGuffey Readers, a series of grade school educational texts that were so widely used that they rivalled The Bible in sales.
The 73-acre property of the McGuffey homestead that has survived subdivision was acquired by a nonprofit organization around the time it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966, and was donated to the county for use as a nature preserve in 1998. The property has hiking trails open to the public.

# William Humphrey (engraver)

William Humphrey (1740?–1810?) was an English engraver and printseller.

## Life

Born about 1740, Humphrey began life as an engraver and published from the Shell Warehouse, St Martin's lane between 1764 and 1774. In 1765 he obtained a premium from the Society of Arts for a mezzotint engraving of a self-portrait of Rembrandt.
Later in life Humphrey concentrated on printselling. He made journeys to Holland and elsewhere on the continent and had a penchant for collecting English portraits. He became the chief agent for the major private collections of portraits made about this time. At one time he took Charles Howard Hodges, the engraver, to Amsterdam, where Hodges established himself. There is a trade card for him engraved from him by Francis Bartolozzi in the Banks collection in the British Museum
Humphrey was residing at 227 Strand in 1785. This was also the first address of his sister Hannah's shop where she sold James Gillray's prints before moving to Bond Street. He died probably about 1810 in a particular state of debt.

## Works

Humphrey engraved portraits in mezzotint, some after Robert Edge Pine. That of John Sturt the engraver was after William Faithorne the younger; of Colonel Richard King, after Godfrey Kneller; Mr Mannock, brother of Sir William Mannock, after Samuel Cooper; of Madame Du Barry, from a drawing by Benjamin Wilson; and others. He also etched a few small portraits, and engraved in stipple Cupid and Psyche and Beauty and Time, from his own drawings, and The Nativity of Christ, after John Singleton Copley.
The British Museum has around 380 prints published by Humphreys including a large number of political satires relating to the 1784 Westminster Election, with important early works that helped establish the printmaking careers of both Thomas Rowlandson and James Gillray; these are described in the Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires Preserved in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum. Humphrey's output also included mezzotint portraits (he reissued a number of plates originally published by John Raphael Smith) as well as mezzotint drolls.
