Rebellion of Fifteen, 1715 The Jacobite
rising of 1715; also referred to as the Fifteen or Lord Mar's Revolt), was the attempt by James Francis Edward Stuart (also called the Old
Pretender) to regain the thrones of England, Ireland and Scotland for the exiled House of
Stuart.
A diversionary rising had been planned in Northumberland to
accompany the main rising in the West. The rising in the West was forestalled
by prompt Government action, but the rising in Northumberland went ahead on 6
October 1715. The English Jacobites joined with a
force of Scottish Borderer Jacobites, led by William Gordon, 6th Viscount
Kenmure,
and this small army was joined by Mackintosh's contingent. They marched into
England as far as Preston, where the Government forces caught up
with them. This led to the Battle of Preston, on 12–14 November. The Jacobites won the first day of the battle, killing large
numbers of Government forces, but Government reinforcements arrived the next
day and the Jacobites eventually surrendered. |

The
South Sea Bubble, 1720 The South Sea Company (officially The
Governor and Company of the merchants of Great Britain, trading to the South
Seas and other parts of America, and for the encouragement of
fishing) was a British joint-stock company founded
in 1711, created as a public-private partnership to
consolidate and reduce the cost of national debt. The company was also
granted a monopoly to trade with South America and nearby islands, hence its
name (the modern use of the term "South Seas" to refer to the
entire South Pacific was unknown in England at the time). When the company
was created, Britain was involved in the War of the Spanish
Succession and Spain controlled South America. There was no
realistic prospect that trade would take place, and the company never
realised any significant profit from its monopoly. Company stock rose greatly
in value as it expanded its operations dealing in government debt, peaking in
1720 before collapsing to little above its
original flotation price;
the economic bubble became
known as the South Sea Bubble. In Great Britain, a considerable number
of people were ruined by the share collapse, and the national economy greatly
reduced as a result. The founders of the scheme engaged in insider trading, using their advance knowledge of when
national debt was to be consolidated to make large profits from purchasing
debt in advance. Huge bribes were given to politicians to support the Acts of Parliament necessary
for the scheme. Company money was used to deal in its own shares, and
selected individuals purchasing shares were given loans backed by those same
shares to spend on purchasing more shares. The expectation of profits from
trade with South America was used to encourage the public to purchase shares,
but the bubble prices reached far beyond the profits of the slave trade. |

Brotton and died on 24 January 1807 in Kilton (FAR00143). The Kilton 1 Line.
John was a Farmer, Alum House merchant, Yeoman and Cooper. His grandson,
John, wrote a lot about his life. “‘My Grandfather, who was a Kiltonian, employed many men at his alum house, and many
a merry tale have I heard him tell of smugglers and their daring adventures
and hair breadth escapes. … once, a year at Christmas – they balanced
accounts, over a bottle of Hollands gin, and after eulogising each other, the
squire would rise and say, “Johnny, when you are gone, there will never be
such another Johnny Farndale”. |
