The Quiet Patriarch, the Life of James A. Newbery
by Sue Simonich available on Amazon.com June 2022.
From the early seventeenth century the Native people of North America fought for physical and cultural survival amid mounting pressures from European immigrants invading their shores.
Their lives changed in unimaginable ways. For two centuries the only choice for many was to meld with other tribes, or flex and blend with the newcomer’s religion, laws and whims.
In the nineteenth century, descendants of eastern seaboard tribes engaged in a movement they believed would
reinstate their former autonomy. This is the story of one family, who joined the ecclesiastical society of the LDS church in its earliest and formative years.

The Lost Legacy of St. Andrews Church and Medieval Lulworth,
The Development of East/West Lulworth from Domesday
by Sue Simonich
Since 2015 I have been working on a comprehensive history of Lulworth’s early history, beginning 1088 with the Newburghs up through Howard’s tenure. The volume is almost complete. Important new information has slowed publication – but it should be out shortly after the first of the year.
PREVIEW:
Lost Legacy of St. Andrews Church and Medieval Lulworth reveals long hidden documents that build a history where there was previously only speculation. Early historians have snubbed or offered inaccuracies for three medieval sites at East Lulworth in Dorset. For the most part, all three are extinct, but their existence lives on in the historical record.
* The first was the Crown Manor of Lulworth St. Andrew where the original Lulworth castle and church of St. Andrew were built in the early 13th century or before. To the Saxon’s it was the royal manor of Lulla.
* Concurrent to the development of St. Andrew’s church, was the first Bindon Abbey. The first site built c. 1148 was largely abandoned with the exception of Little Chapel which survives after 900 years. The abbey’s second iteration was built a quarter century later in 1172 at Wool and destroyed during the Dissolution c. 1539.
* Most important were the people who developed and supported these edifices. They were the armigerous de Novo Burgo or Newburgh family, who were descendants of Henry Newburgh first Earl of Warwick, and cousins to William “The Conqueror.” For centuries they supported several abbeys in Dorset along with Sarum (Salisbury Cathedral).
The manuscript is 150 pages, with appendices, colour photos, drawings, maps, and a bibliography. The price is estimated to be $29.95.
