Note: Reputedly the Dean of Christchurch (Angela McCarthy informant)

Much of my other information comes from Helen Garrett's book - 'Henry Jacobs- A Clergyman of Calibre' published by Shoal Bay Press, Box 2151 Christchurch, New Zealand. IBSN 0-908704-54-2 Helen Garrett is the granddaughter of Henry Jacobs & was born in 1916. I have a copy of the book which I had sent from New Zealand and having read it I did try to contact Helen Garrett but had no reply - she has apparently been ill and I know that the Diocese of Christchurch have been trying to obtain more information from her with little success.

It is the first chapter only that tells us anything about the family's roots:-

Chale Farm house is recognised as one of the oldest and most interesting examples of domestic architecture on IOW. There was & is a great hall with an undercroft & annex building. It was William who changed the name to Chale Abbey because of the shape of the large transomed window. The property was acquired by the Jacob's in 1796 (presumably by Bartholomew Jacob the younger?) At that time the jacobs were 'substantial' landowners and kept 'a celebrated pack of hounds' The marriage of William Jacobs to Harriet Hearn brought more wealth in the form of a large dowry.

Here's where it gets interesting - Helen Garrett says 'the story of the family's collapse was told by Henry's younger brother Leonard, who wrote about it in an unpublished letter to his sons.' (I think this may be the same letter that you have an extract of, in which case there is more in the letter. The bibliography of the book mentions that the letter is held in the Hewland Collection, Christchurch so if a complete copy is not on the IOW we might be able to get it from New Zealand)

In 1815 William Hearn eloped with his sweetheart Ann Tucker ? she had little money & this caused a family row ? William was cut off without a penny but then his father was persuaded to change his will. He left Chale to William but with ?sizeable life interests? to his mother & sisters & ?Chargeable with heavy debts? After his father died in 1818 his mother Harriet emigrated to New York with her daughter Henrietta & son-in-law Aaron Arnold of Brightstone IOW who later became a millionaire.

William H. lived an expensive life at Chale. He & Ann had 13 children. Agriculture was in recession after the end of the Napoleonic Wars ? price of corn & cattle fell.

Henry Jacob entered Charterhouse School( a famous Public School in Surrey) at the age of 10. He was Captain of the school when he left seven years later (I have a copy of the school register which shows that Henry, Leonard & Hugh all attended the school) According to Helen Garrett they managed this inspite of a lack of money because the boys uncle Richard Tucker was manciple at the school and the boys lived with him and attended the school for free as day boys. Whilst Henry did well at school, Leonard sys he was a 'hopeless case' & was removed when he was 13 & 'led a wild life hunting & dallying with the girls'. Henry went on to Oxford University.

Meanwhile William H. J. was not managing and Chale farm was to be sold. Leonard decided to emigrate to New York at the invitation of his American relatives. Leonard did well in America & married Emma Lawrence of Trinity Place, New York - he reverted to the surname Jacob (no s) to sound Jewish.His descendant Mary Phelps Jacob, an Edwardian socialite, invented the brassiere. She had three husbands including Harry Crosby a writer & Publisher. She changed her name to Caresse Crosby.

Henry married Charlotte Emily Corrick(Emily). In about 1850 they left as colonists for New Zealand. They left the Isle of Wight seen off by younger brother Hugh from Ryde Harbour. They sailed from Plymouth on the 'Sir George Seymour'. The rest of the book concentrates on Henry's life and elevation to become the first Dean of Christchurch.

We are told that William H.J. had sold Chale along with 400 acres of fertile farmland surrounding it, but retained another farming property( I think this must have been at Arreton) and 'through an agent continued to run the Hotel at Blackgang Chine'. We are also told that most of the family had now left IOW - William was running a law practice in Manchester & two of his sisters were in the Channel Islands.

JACOBS
Here are buried Henry JACOBS, 1824-1901, first Dean of Christchurch, and his wife, Charlotte Emily. Henry and Charlotte Emily had two children, a son and a daughter. Both died young. Henry, who wrote poetry, described his daughter's funeral:
"They've borne her to her narrow bed
by Avon's flowing tide ..."
The first Mrs JACOBS died at 50, on 9 April 1870. When the new church of St Michael and All Angels was built soon afterwards, a stained-glass window was erected to the memory of Charlotte Emily JACOBS.
The middle-aged cleric had, for almost two decades, known the THOMPSON family, middle-class people of little wealth. Frederick and Mary Ann THOMPSON pointed out to their 22-year-old daughter, Emily Rose, that no suitable suitor had appeared and that JACOBS, a kindly long-standing friend with a good position in the community, needed somebody to look after him. The couple were married on 20 April 1872. A minor official in the Anglican church took offence at the Dean marrying within a year of his first wife's death and said: 'It's incest, I call it'. The marriage, which appears to have been happy, resulted in the birth of several children.
JACOBS was a gentle man, a teacher, preacher, and church administrator. He was not scarcely a man of the world. He learned that goats' milk was good for children, bought a 'William goat' from some rogue, and, when the dean asked the maid to milk the animal, she remonstrated with him and promptly left his employment.
Henry JACOBS & rsquo; grand-daughter, Helen GARRETT, has written a biography which is both a pleasant read and informative on the subject of the growth of colonial Christchurch. The book is entitled Henry Jacobs, a clergyman of character.

Bible Christian Preacher
Mary Toms Warder (1795-1850)
Mary Toms lived in an era when few women achieved leadership roles in any phase of society. She became a preacher and evangelist in the Bible Christian church (an offshoot of English Methodism) in the 1820's, long before it was considered proper for women to take such a role.
Relatively little is known about Mary's ancestry, especially on the Toms side. She was and was born November 24, 1795 at Tintagel, Cornwall, in the southwestern part of England. Tintagel is a small village on the northwest coast of Cornwall and, according to some sources, was the birth place of the legendary King Arthur. Her parents, Charles Toms and Mary Kernick had been married on February 8, 1795 at the nearby town of St. Teath. (Note 1)

Charles Toms rented a small farm in the area and also worked in the local slate quarry. He and his wife had only two children -- Mary and her brother Charles who was about eight and a half years younger. (Note 2) As the oldest, and for quite a few years an only child, Mary was spoiled and allowed to have her own way.

At age 16, Mary was strong, vigorous, and active. She even worked with her father's reapers in the harvest fields. Reportedly she "feared and cared for nothing." Mary was one of the best dressed girls in the village. One of her main reasons for going to church was to show off her finery and also to see the dresses of others and any new style which she could imitate. She soon persuaded her father to apprentice her to a stay and dress maker at Tintagel.

Mary was still only 16 when she went on one of her periodic visits to an aunt who ran a hotel in Plymouth. To get there, she had to travel across Cornwall to the south coast of England and on into the neighboring county of Devonshire. Often she would make this trip in the company of a Huckster (a dealer in butter, eggs, poultry, etc.), stay for several weeks, and return by the same conveyance. During this visit to Plymouth, Mary chanced to hear a Methodist preacher. This experience made her feel very sinful, so she returned to her aunt's hotel and cut off all of the frills and trimmings on her clothes and even her own curly hair and threw them into the fire.

On returning to Tintagel, Mary met with a very poor reception due to her altered appearance (and probably also because of her new religious beliefs). Her father beat her and put her out of doors, but this did not alter her determination and her family soon became reconciled to her new ways. Mary stopped attending Church of England services and regularly walked two or three miles alone in the roughest of weather and the darkest of nights to worship with the Methodists.

To put Mary's religious work into context, an understanding of the early history of English Methodism is necessary. In 1729, a small group of Oxford University students led by John and Charles Wesley spent so much time in methodical prayer and Bible reading that they were ridiculed by others as "Bible bigots," the "Holy Club" and "Methodists." Both Wesley brothers had transforming religious experiences in May 1738 and in subsequent years led a lively renewal movement within the Church of England. This was part of the great evangelical revival which changed the face of popular religion in both Britain and North America.

One of the most important, and controversial, developments in early Methodism was the decision to allow female preaching. By the 1760s, Sarah Crosby and Mary Bosanquet-Fletcher had, with John Wesley's reluctant approval, made the transition from "exhorting" to preaching the gospel.

Although the Methodist movement began as an attempt to reform the Church of England, in the closing years of the 18th century the Methodists broke away and formed a separate church. Rapid growth marked the early history of this new church, but also frequent conflicts between some of the more autocratic ministers and the ardent and democratic spirits within the church. This led to a series of schisms, with the New Methodist Connexion breaking off in 1797, the Primitive Methodists in 1811, and the Bible Christians in 1815. By the time of these schisms, the main group of Methodists had enacted restrictions on the role of women in the church. The Primitive Methodists and Bible Christians, however, continued to make extensive use of the novelty value of female evangelists in expanding into new areas.

One of the early Bible Christian evangelists was William O'Bryan. Soon after his conversion, at eighteen years of age, O'Bryan began to preach to his friends and neighbors and exhort them to repent and turn to God. He sacrificed home, comforts, business, and worldly prospects to encounter hardship, difficulty, and danger as an evangelist in Devon and Cornwall. Like the earliest leaders of Methodism, the Bible Christians emphasized work with the poor and working-class citizens. According to one writer, the Bible Christian Connexion was born of Divine Power -- "The hand of God was upon the leaders, and they heard His voice, and saw visions of Him."

Around the age of 22, Mary Toms was was attracted to the Bible Christian church. According to one source, she went to hear Mr. O'Bryan preach while on a visit to Plymouth. Through this service Mary "came into the possession of a great spiritual blessing, accompanied by the conviction that God had a work for her to do among the Bible Christians."

Another source tells the story differently. It says that the Bible Christians came near Tintagel to hold meetings and everyone was at liberty to give a word of encouragement to the rest. Mary spoke and and her preaching impressed Mr. O'Bryan. Upon hearing of the good things she did in her neighborhood, Mr. O'Bryan went to her father's house and invited Mary to leave home and assist in the work of the Bible Christians. In spite of the opposition of her parents, she did so. At the second church Conference after Mary left home, her name was put on the minutes of the Conference and she was appointed to a mission or circuit.

Mary began her work as a preacher in the Luxulyan circuit in 1820. Luxulyan is in central Cornwall three miles northeast of St. Austell and was known primarily for its granite quarries. Mary did not spend all of her time in Luxulyan. Like many early Methodist preachers she traveled from town to town throughout the local circuit. Life was not always easy for a woman preacher. When invited to a house to preach, she would often find the wife opposed to her, and she would have trouble finding food and a place to rest for the night.

Soon Mary turned her attention to the Isle of Wight, which is located along the south coast of England near Southampton. She had never visited there (it was a hundred miles or more to the east of Cornwall). Reportedly she had never even heard of it before one day when she heard several persons talking about the island and "at that moment there entered into her heart such a feeling as she could not possibly express in words."

Mary applied to the Conference for leave to visit the Isle of Wight, but in 1821 they appointed her to serve in the Scilly Isles, which are located out in the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Land's End. According to one source she served at this time in the small town of Morvah, on the north coast of the southwest "toe" of Cornwall, but that may have just been the site of the headquarters for the circuit serving the Scilly Isles. Mary encountered many difficulties in the Scilly Isles and felt that she was not in the right place according to the "Will of God." She would stay a fortnight on one island and then move to another, no matter what the state of the weather, and several times "fully expected a watery grave."

While in the Scilly Isles, Mary was introduced to Captain John Caws from the Isle of Wight, who was a pious Methodist. She told him that she felt it to be her duty to go to the island to preach the gospel. After hearing Mary preach, Captain Caws strongly encouraged her to do so. Unfortunately no one was available to fill her place at this time, so the Conference in 1822 sent her back to the Luxulyan circuit.

Writing later about her call to the Isle of Wight, Mary reported that:

"While in the Luxilian [sic.] and St. Ervan circuits, the Lord revealed to my mind many places in this Island as I have seen them since. I had no rest; the Island was in my thoughts day and night. Did the friends but mention its name, my heart was full; and at times my feelings were such that I believe had the road from Cornwall here been covered with fire, I should have willingly suffered the pain of traveling it, if convinced I should live to serve God and tell of His goodness in the Isle of Wight. At last I resolved and was determined in my heart to obey Him, whatever I might suffer, even if I begged my way here. At this time I had leave from you [Mr. O'Bryan] to go, but could not be supported from the missionary fund. Nevertheless, this was a great joy to me, and, glory be to God, He soon provided. I begged, and He opened the hearts of those around me, who knew a little of what I felt and suffered. They came forward liberally in contribution. These supported me to this Island, and supported me on it, until the Lord changed the hearts of many people. Blessed be His holy name. He soon did it. It was all His doings, and to Him be all the glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
In 1823, the Bible Christians held their annual conference at Mill Pleasant, Stoke Damarel. As soon as the conference closed, she departed for the Isle of Wight. Friends helped her with the cost of the trip. This was eight shillings because she was not a cabin passenger, but sat on the deck all night. Samuel Thorn gave her some books to sell if she needed money for food or lodgings. The twenty-seven year old Mary set off by herself to convert the sinners of the Isle of Wight. On August 8, she wrote a letter to Mr. O'Bryan from Cowes, Isle of Wight, reporting the following:
Beloved and worthy Father in the Gospel, Duty binds and with no small delight do I give you an account of my safe arrival at the Isle of Wight. We left Plymouth about 5 o'clock pm Wednesday, July 30th and arrived at Cowes the following night. We had a pleasant sail before the wind. We were 22 passengers and I had plenty to do to reprove sin. For sometime they did not know what I was, some said a Quaker. Some young gentlemen, by way of ridicule said to each other "what religion are you?" I said there is but one way to Heaven and that is to follow Christ and unless you have the religion you now laugh at your state will be awful, then they were silent. Bye and bye meeting with a heavy sea the vessel began to roll, on this some began to enquire for the preacher woman to pray that they might not be drowned; but glory to God he brought us safe over and I was very happy all the way. On my landing my Faith was tried, there had been some great works with the wicked that week and the place was full so that no lodging could I get though I went all over the town. I thought well my trials are begun, last night to sit on deck and now to walk the streets with swearers and drunkards. I prayed as I went and soon found all was well, if it was most for God's glory I would do it willingly. I stood up by the door of a cook's shop, the woman came out and after some questions said she thought she could get a bed for a shilling. Being brought to the house I found a civil old lady and agreed with her for a week. On Friday I went out and published for preaching on the Parade, I felt a heavy cross and prayed that I might not be ashamed and could say "My blood, my life I here present, If for God's cause they may be spent."
Oh, could you see the sins committed here. I have been led to wonder God hath not sent his judgements as on Sodom. On Sunday morning I went to East Cowes (here there is no Methodist Society) and though it was wind and rain I borrowed a chair and sang "Come ye sinners poor and wretched" (Note 3) and it was not long before scores assembled coming from every part of town, some laughing some talking, but I spoke on and had not proceeded far when the tears began to flow from my eyes and many others. After I concluded I published for preaching the next night if they would find me a house in case it rained. One woman came with tears running down and said "My house is small but you shall have it if you will." Three or four houses were offered me at once. Going toward my lodging a woman came after me requesting me to take dinner with her. The Lord is opening the way. I believe we shall see a glorious work. I hope you will daily pray for me. On Monday I went again and found no house large enough to contain the people so I once again spoke out of doors. Scores of eyes were drowned with tears. I was now invited to come again to the different houses to take refreshment. I hope to see more preachers here soon. How plenteous the harvest, may the Lord raise up more labourers such as need not be ashamed. I remain your unworthy servant,
Mary Toms
One of the reasons that Mary had difficulty in finding a place to sleep that first night because the town was full of visitors for regatta week Mrs. Pooke, a Wesleyan and the wife of a local shoemaker, finally took her in. Concerning Mary's first open air preaching at East Cowes, one writer later wrote that "there was commenced in that service a great and widespread religious awakening and converting power that thousands are blessing and praising God for today."
At East Cowes, Mary soon established regular preaching, having a home there with a person named Hunt, a carpenter whose wife was attached to Mary with strong affection. From Cowes she was invited to Newport and preached in the street. Two of the local Wesleyan preachers soon joined Mary and, together with others, helped to lead the worship and enable Mary to travel further afield.

Soon Mary was overwhelmed with invitations to preach in other parts of the Island. She began moving from town to town conducting open air services and helping to organize local Bible Christian societies. She preached Gunville, Gatcombe, Rookley, Godshill, Merstone, Wootton-Bridge, Littleton, Wroxall, Nettlecombe, and Ventnor. After Mary had been on the island about six weeks, the Bible Christian Connexion sent Mrs. O'Bryan and Eliza Jew to the Isle of Wight to help her. They had great difficulty catching up with Mary. They walked from town to town, each time finding that she had moved on to yet another location.

Early in October 1823, Mary Toms and Mrs. O'Bryan began preaching at Sandown. One of the people who came to hear Mary preach on the Sabbath was a man named King, whose father lived in Sandown. King himself lived at Brading and worked for a shoemaker there by the name of William Warder. Warder was thirty years old and descended from several generations of shoemakers from the nearby town of Shanklin. King reported to Mr. Warder about Mary's preaching and urged him to go and hear her. When Warder learned that Mary soon would speak at the Wesleyan Chapel at St. Helen's, he went to listen. The following Sunday he went to Sandown and invited her to speak at Brading that afternoon. She came and stood on a chair out of doors and, according to Warder "spoke the simple truths of the Gospel."

The next evening William Warder again went to St. Helen's to hear Mary speak. Later he went to Sandown again, spoke to Mary, and they knelt in prayer together. When Mary awoke the next morning, she had it fixed in her mind that Warder would become her husband. She wept much and prayed against this, telling the Lord that if he did not remove this from her mind she could not preach. She continued her work, but the impression that Willaim Warder would become her husband kept coming back. Warder continued to attend her services and reports that while Mary Toms was praying during another meeting at St. Helen's, "...it seems as though my old obdurate heart was split asunder and I came home in the dark, rejoicing. From that time I regularly attended the Bible Christian worship." In November of 1823, Mary aided in the founding of a Bible Christian Society at Brading.

Mary continued traveling about the island preaching until she was worn out and, at times, fainted by the way. When it appeared that she might have to go back to Cornwall to recover her health, William Warder asked her to remain on the island and marry him. They were married on January 5, 1824 at Brading.

When they were newly married, Mary's throat was still sore from so much speaking that the food she swallowed gave her pain and at times she lost her voice. When Mary recovered, she still did a little preaching. In April of 1824, she held the first Bible Christian service in the town of Ryde. William also became active in Bible Christian circles. He served as a circuit steward for the first quarterly meeting which was held at his house in Brading on April 12, 1824.

Late in 1824, William and Mary had their first child, so she gave up her travels about the countryside. Mary continued to preach in the local sphere, however, and helped to carry forward the work which she had commenced. Many of William Warder's relatives joined the Bible Christian church and William and Mary built the chapel at Brading. Mary lived the rest of her life at Brading and died there on August 3, 1850.

The Bible Christians on the Isle of Wight always recognized Mary as one of their most important early leaders. Years later, during the construction of a new chapel in East Cowes, they incorporated a stone to the memory of Mary in a conspicuous position in the front part of the building. It reads "Laid in memory of Mary Toms by Mr. R. Bullen, J.P." Mary's daughter and namesake Mary Toms Warder Harvey, who had left the Island to settle in Andover, Hampshire, sent five pounds toward the building fund for the new chapel.

The Bible Christians remained a separate church until 1907 when they combined with two other churches to form the United Methodist Church. In 1932, the United Methodists united with the Wesleyan Methodists and Primitive Methodists to once again form a unified Methodist Church.

Note on Sources
At some point before his death, Mary's husband William Warder wrote out twenty-four pages of notes on her life up to the time of their marriage. The originals of these notes are in the possession of their descendant Jean Burberry of Brading. She has typed an edited version of the notes and shared them with family members. An important supplement to these notes is Rev. J. Woolcock's book A History of the Bible Christian Churches on the Isle of Wight (1897). Information on Mary Toms appears on pp. 17-25 and in the separate sections on the societies at Brading, Ryde, and East Cowes.

A little information on Mary appears in A.C. Canner's study The Parish of Tintagel: Some Historical Notes. Dates of her service in specific Cornwall villages are from a February 23, 1999 e-mail message received from Dr. Peter Nockles of the Methodist Archives and Research Centre of the John Rylands University Library of Manchester, England. Dates of baptism, marriage, and burial of specific family members are from church records on file at the Isle of Wight Records Office at Newport. A card index to these records is available on microfilm under the title Isle of Wight Consolidated Parish Records Index through Family History Centers run by the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints (the Mormon Church).

1. See the International Genealogical Index (IGI) for Great Britain. Records included in the IGI show the date both as Feb. 8, 1795 and Feb. 8, 1796. St. Teath is about five miles or so from Tintagel. Return to the text.

2. Charles' age here is based on the assumption that he is the same Charles Toms who was christened at St. Teath on May 20, 1804 -- see the International Genealogical Index (IGI) for Great Britain. Return to the text.

3. Another source quotes the hymn in more detail:

"Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, joined with power:
He is able,
He is willing; doubt no more." Return to the text.

Bible Christian Connexion
Almost entirely confined to Devon and Cornwall, the Bible Christians were founded in 1806, independently of Methodism but in imitation of it, and sought membership of the Wesleyan Methodist Conference. Denied membership because of the uncompromisingly individual style of their leader William O'Bryan, they formed their own Connexion and functioned rather as a local West Country version of Primitive Methodism. By 1900 they numbered some 17,000.
