Going Back on One of Elmony Lester's Ancestral Lines on Geni.Com
Chapter 51 Going Back on One of Elmony Lester’s Ancestral Lines on Geni.com [originally written 9 July 2020] Introduction I have started using the Geni.com website to expand my knowledge of my family tree. Geni.com has what they call the “World Family Tree”. Unlike Ancestry.com, where everyone has their own complete (or incomplete) family tree, Geni.com is having its users collaboratively build just a single family tree. On Ancestry.com, there can be one thousand or more duplicate entries for the same person – and these entries often have conflicting information. On Geni.com, there should only be one entry on the entire website for any given person. Individual users on Geni.com can add their ancestral lines until they connect with people already in the World Family Tree. And then their lines immediately become part of this enormous family tree. As of early July 2020, there are over 145 million individuals in the World Family Tree – see: https://www.geni.com/worldfamilytree Over the past year, I have added various lines from my family tree to Geni.com, and then connected these lines to individuals already in the World Family Tree. I should add that in some cases, this just meant adding two or three generations of my family, and then discovering that the rest of the ancestral line was already in the World Family Tree. Here is the initial portion of my pedigree on Geni.com: I need to point out the numbers in the little green boxes at the far right of this chart. -
Margaret Vernon – My 14Th-Great Grandmother – and Her Ancestors in England
Chapter 63 Margaret Vernon – My 14th-Great Grandmother – and Her Ancestors in England [Originally written on 28 August 2020] Introduction I have started using the Geni.com website to expand my knowledge of my family tree. Geni.com has what they call the “World Family Tree”. Unlike Ancestry.com, where everyone has their own complete (or incomplete) family tree, Geni.com is having its users collaboratively build just a single family tree. On Ancestry.com, there can be one thousand or more duplicate entries for the same person – and these entries often have conflicting information. On Geni.com, there should only be one entry on the entire website for any given person. Individual users on Geni.com can add their ancestral lines until they connect with people already in the World Family Tree. And then their lines immediately become part of this enormous family tree. As of late-August 2020, there are over 147 million individuals in the World Family Tree – see: https://www.geni.com/worldfamilytree Over the past year, I have added various lines from my family tree to Geni.com, and then connected these lines to individuals already in the World Family Tree. Using this website, I have found a number of my ancestral lines that go back twenty or even thirty generations into the past. In this narrative, I want to go back to one of my ancestors who was born in England in 1480, and then look at some of her ancestors. Ancestral Line Back to Margaret Vernon Here is my line back to Elmony Lester (born 1809) – she was my 2nd-great grandmother: Continuing back, here is the line from Elmony Lester to Hannah Maris (1698- 1752): Next is the line from Hannah Maris to Elizabeth Kinsey (1597-1625): I note that Hannah’s mother was Jane Maddock (1668-1705), and Jane and her husband immigrated from England and settled in Philadelphia – they were Quakers. -
The Duke of Shrewsbury and the Politics of Succession During the Reign of Anne
‘I Have Neither Interest nor Eloquence Sufficient to Prevaile’: The Duke of Shrewsbury and the Politics of Succession during the Reign of Anne Robin Eagles This paper reassesses the role of Charles Talbot, duke of Shrewsbury, during the construction of the Harley ministry of 1710 and in the management of the final days of Queen Anne. Shrewsbury has tended to be overlooked, but this paper will contend that his role was more central than usually assumed. Between them, the duke and his duchess formed an influential pair at court on a par with the better known duke and duchess of Somerset, and Shrewsbury’s role as Harley’s partner may not have been as subservient as some have suggested. As a moderating Whig influence Shrewsbury’s recruitment to Harley’s scheme underscores the original direction aimed at by this new duumvirate in the spring of 1710 and the way in which the Hanoverian succession was assured in the summer of 1714. On 9 July 1714 Henry St John, Viscount Bolingbroke, ‘sensible of the uneasiness’ Matthew Prior must be experiencing in his foreign posting1 ‘set pen to paper’ to recount the events of the session of Parliament that had just concluded: These four or five months last past have afforded such a scene as I hope never again to be an actor in. All the confusion which could be created by the disunion of friends, and the malice of enemies, has subsisted at Court and in Parliament. Little or no public business has been transacted in domestic affairs; and as to you and your Continent, we have not once cast an eye towards you. -

Northwestern Charles Deering Mccormick University Library Library of Special Collections Evanston, Illinois 60208-2300
Northwestern Charles Deering McCormick University Library Library of Special Collections Evanston, Illinois 60208-2300 Wakefield Vellum Documents This collection of vellum documents was purchased from William C. Wakefield by Northwestern University in 1959. There are more than 300 documents including indentures, deeds, leases, omnibuses, wills, a few court rolls, conveyances, and other legal documents from the fourteenth century through the early twentieth century. Most of them have small wax seals and a few also have large royal seals, some of which are intact in their original metal canisters. There are also a few photostats of documents Wakefield sold before delivering the collection to Northwestern University. The following guide to the collection consists of a box inventory, a description of the documents arranged chronologically and grouped by monarch’s reign, and some information on terminology for users unfamiliar with deeds and documents. Documents which have been flattened are stored in large quires within six oversize drop-spine boxes (I – VI) and three oversize folders or quires (VII – IX).These are individually numbered within each quire and box with dates included as well. The remaining folded documents have been arranged chronologically in manuscript boxes (AA, A – F). Each of these documents also has identifying numbers and dates. Since many of the documents are “dated” only by regnal year, e.g. 10 Elizabeth, an attempt has been made to supply a conventional date for easier identification. Many of the documents also have a Wakefield number (W#). All documents on Wakefield’s original catalog were numbered in an attempt to inventory the deeds against the catalog. -
Edward’: an Enquiry
‘LadyScroop Daughter of K. Edward’: an Enquiry. PAULINE SHEPPARD ROUTH IT IS NOT UNUSUAL for a monument to be mistakenly identified. Two of the six notable Harewood monuments were for many years wrongly attributed,l and the boy at Sheriff Hutton continues to be so by some.2 The usual reasons are misinterpretation of evidence becoming accepted as fact with the passage of time, or a local tradition perpetuated because unquestioned. Fortunately, through research, such anomalies are becoming fewer. But what of the identification of a monument which has not existed for nearly 300 years? On 31 July 1711 the medieval church of St. Alkmund, Whitchurch, in Shropshire, collapsed into ruin. Two effigies survived, one recorded as John Talbot, Rector of Whitchurch and founder of the Free School; the other, erected by Sir Gilbert Talbot, commemorating his famous grandsire, John first Earl of Shrewsbury, ‘great Talbot’. We are indebted to a seventeenth-century antiquary, Thomas Dingley, who in the course of his itineraries, visited Whitchurch, ‘...a wealthy market town and great thoroughfare’, and in the church recorded monuments, arms and inscriptions, accompanied in many cases by sketches which, if not beautiful, are useful.3 He did not alas, sketch the monument of which he left this intriguing account following that of the Shrewsbury monument: Opposite to this in ye midst of ye high chancel is seen a monument of white marble adom’d with sundry small figures it is of one Lady Scroop Daughter of K. Edward. she lyeth buried in a stone sepulchre.‘ This description points to a fifteenth or early sixteenth centurydate for the monument; ‘marble’ is often identifiable at that period with alabaster, the carving medium that had become increasingly popular in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.’ There is some ambiguity in that it is not explicit that there was an effigy upon the monument, though the presence of ‘sundry small figures’ — weepers — makes it likely. -

The World of Etheldreda Gardener: Viewinga Woman of the late FifteenthCentury through the Lives of her Husbands KRISTINE G. BRADBERRY THE STORY OF ETHELDREDA GARDENER and women like her allows historians to examine the personal relationships of men and women during the middle ages as well as women’s social and economic importance in the merchant and gentry classes. Documents such as wills, inventories, and official letters often provide useful insights into personalities and relationships in the late medieval period.‘ However, since we have few personal documents such as diaries or letters by women in the medieval period, we must locate information about them in sources generated by men. Etheldreda Gardener was a wealthy woman, a mother of five living children, and the daughter of a wealthy Cambridgeshire knight who came originally from a mercantile family. Despite the fact that she left no personal records, documents left by her second and third husbands indicate that she was a respected and responsible wife. Financial records found among the Talbot papers in the British Library, the will of Richard Gardener (her second husband), and the inventory of Sir Gilbert Talbot (Etheldreda’s third husband), offer some clues about the kind of woman Etheldreda was. The business and financial documents, acquired by the Talbot family when she married Sir Gilbert, contain receipts, leases, and letters from the crown that belonged to Sir Richard Gardener, Etheldreda’s second husband, a wealthy, prominent mercer and mayor of London. As cxecutrix to Gardener’s will, Etheldreda was a respected merchant’s widow. Gardener’s dependance upon her resulted in granting her partial responsibility of implementing his will.
