The name comes from a club, formed during the French Revolution,
who used a former Jacobin Dominican friary in Paris as their
headquarters.
Led by Robespierre, the Jacobins proclaimed the French
republic and executed the king, beginning the Reign of Terror
The Jacobite action roused patriotic feelings in England in defence of
which resulted in the word Union being incorporated into the
names of
the Union Cross
and
Union Street.

These
looms
were used in the manufacture of damask and other figured goods.
The technology reached Yorkshire by the 1820s.
Many local trades were involved in the production of the cards and
weaving damask.
This superseded the earlier witch and draw-boy.
The earliest recorded use of such looms was in 1827 at James Akroyd & Son's Old Lane Mill.
It carried about 100 passengers
including
Matthew Mitchell,
his wife Susan,
their son Jonathan,
and
Susan's son Samuel by her first marriage.
Other ships in the fleet were
the Angel Gabriel, the Elizabeth, the Mary, and
the Diligence.
The Elizabeth, the Mary, and
the Diligence – which were smaller and faster – went to
Newfoundland.
The Angel Gabriel and the James stayed together,
heading for New England.
The Angel Gabriel was wrecked
in a great storm off the coast of Maine.
The final leg of the voyage – off the New Hampshire coast – speaks of
the terrifying end to the journey;
being put into the Isles of Shoals, lost three anchors, and setting
sail no canvas or ropes would hold, but she was driven within a
cables length of the rocks at Pascataquack, when suddenly the wind,
coming to NW put them back to the Isles of Shoals, and being there
ready to strike upon the rocks they let out a piece of mainsail and
weathered the rocks.
The James landed in Boston badly damaged on 17th August 1635
