Charles Woodmason
Charles Woodmason (c. 1720–March 1789) was an author, poet, Anglican clergyman, American loyalist, and West Gallery psalmodist. He is best remembered for his journal documenting life on the South Carolina frontier in the late 1760s, and for his role as a leader of the South Carolina Regulator movement.
==Background and Early Life==
The son of Benjamin Woodmason, a ship's carpenter, and his second wife, Susanna Pittard, Charles Woodmason 〔Axelrod, p. 272-273〕〔Henning Cohen, pp. 1658-1660〕〔Whitt Jones, p. 451〕〔Faragher, p. 462〕 was baptized on 〔Contemporary records, which used the Julian calendar and the Annunciation Style of enumerating years, recorded Woodmason's baptism date as October 23, 1720. The provisions of the British Calendar (New Style) Act 1750, implemented in 1752, altered the official British dating method to the Gregorian calendar with the start of the year on January 1 (it had been March 25). These changes resulted in dates being moved forward 11 days, and for those between January 1 and March 25, an advance of one year. For a further explanation, see: Old Style and New Style dates.〕 at Holy Trinity Church of England Chapel, Gosport, Hampshire, England and was evidently a native of that town. Benjamin was from an old Devon family and apparently settled in Gosport after marrying the first time to a local girl.〔Phillimore and Everitt, p. 113. When Benjamin Woodmason married his first wife, Sarah Cornferey of Gosport in April 1690, the parish register of St. Thomas à Becket Church, Portsmouth gave his residence as the ship HMS ''Swiftsure''.〕 Charles Woodmason’s mother died in August 1722 and his father remarried in October 1725. In June 1735, Woodmason completed the seven-year apprenticeship to a Gosport mercer named Thomas Levet. He married Hannah Page in 1745 and they had two children, a daughter and a son. Only his son James Woodmason survived to adulthood. In 1747, he was responsible for the removal of the organ used by George Frederick Handel from the deceased Duke of Chandos' private chapel at Canongate to Holy Trinity, where it still remains in use today.〔Gainey, pp. 18-19〕 His tune book, ''A Collection of Psalm Tunes with Basses Fitted for the Voice and Figured for the Organ, for the Use of Gosport in Hampshire'', saw its second edition in 1748.〔Gainey, p. 19〕〔Temperley, 1979, Vol. 1, pp. 123-125, 372.〕〔Temperley, 1998, Vol. 1, p. 349 and Vol. 3, pp. 225, 236, 260, 284, 559.〕 Hannah Page Woodmason was buried from St. Mary's Church, Alverstoke in 1766.〔Alverstoke Parish Registers〕
