The earliest birth date of one Tim's documented ancesters belongs to his gr-gr-gr-gr-gr-gr-gr-grandfather John McCroskey, born in Scotland in 1680. Other seminal families for whom we have information are: on Tim's Father's side: Daniel and Catherine Leehan and Daniel's brothers <<< James and Mary Kingston <<< Nancy Carberry and her brothers and sisters <<< Grace Anderson <<< and on his Mother's side: Richard and Martha (Evans) Barnhouse <<< John and Elizabeth (Gay) McCroskey <<< Nathan & Susanna (Allen) Laird <<< Nicholas Haskins <<< Almeron Hill <<< G.S. and Gatha Sprouse <<< Judy Carey* Sarah Hayes* Margaret Walker* Mary Jane Price* Mary Castro* Drusilla Burnside* Keziah* (* no ancestral data on these individuals) Tim's paternal ancesters settled in Northwestern Pa and intermarried with families that can be traced back through prominent individuals of colonial America to early European royalty. The Leehan (Liathain) clan originated in Cork, Ireland where they figured prominently in the Annals of Ancient Ireland. (unfortunately, the chain connecting these ancesters with the 19th century emigrants is missing a few centuries of links, but why bother with details. Let it suffice to say that the clan was noble in Munster and brought forth many saints (e.g. St. Liathain, 2nd in Command to St. Columba) and sinners (mention no names). Lehans who remained in Ireland figured prominently in the IRA and were hung for their efforts. In the US, they settled in Pennsylvania, Massachuesetts, and Iowa (and later in Oklahoma and Washington.) I have found Leehans in NJ, including a cop who got his head bashed in the 30s while fighting a labor revolt at a local washing machine factory. Tim's paternal grandmother immigrated from Scotland through Ellis Island. Tim's maternal ancesters settled the Western Reserve lands of Northeastern Ohio and include dunkers, pirates, and pioneers. Each chapter of this book reports the history of the descendents of one of the indicated (<<<) seminal families to (at least) the point where it intersects with the family of another ancester. There is some duplication and s ome available information on generations past the point of intersection has been omitted. The facts and many of the notes in this book have been gathered from many sources that are not properly acknowledged in this written document. The citations are available in my computerized database, but I confess I do not have the discipline to treat them as a proper editor should. My appologies to those hardworking biographers I have treated so poorly. Much of the Leehan chapter was excerpted from a History of the Leehan family wrtten by my Dad, Edmon Leehan, and updated by myself. My father had an interessting way of telling a story, so I left the notes in the first person... I 2 Timothy Donald Leehan's Ancesters and their Descendants hope it entertains more than it confuses the reader. Much is missing. I have not kept current on recent generations. I hope to fix this some day soon. Some questions beg for answers: What ever happened to the families of the 'other Leehans' (i.e. not descendents of Daniel) in the St. Philips' parish? Who was "Mathew's sister, Mrs. B.T.McGuire" mentioned in his obit? Why don't we know more about the parents of Nancy Carberry Leehan? Exactly what was the tie between the Lairds and Ethan Allen (was Susannah Allen a descendent?) Can we learn more about the identities of the Laird Privateers? Why can't we find naturalization papers for Daniel Leehan? The chapter about Royal connections is for history buffs. My existing 13 MB database contains about 25,000 individuals who are members of families whose intermarriages eventually touched the Leehans. This all makes Tim 'kissing cousins' with kngs, quieens, patriots, traitors, and fanatics. The chapters on the Liathans and the Ancient Irish Kings are taken mostly from the Annals of Ireland by theFour Masters. Much of the history from the days before the Romans is probably based on myth, mistunderstanding, and the desire of later monarchs to establish their pedegrees. All of the detail tying the Ui Liathain to the Lehans of Cork is irretrievably lost. it is not only possible but probable that a comparison of Tim's genome or those of one of his decendents to those of other Lehans, Leyhanes, or Lehanes, will soon conclusively prove his descent from Oilil Olum, First King of Munster. The chapter on the Leehan Diaspora sheds some light on the family history in the centuries after the recordings of the Four Masters. It is a history of castle builders, freedom fighters, cops, authors, sociologists, and others. The exercise of identifying traits of nature or nurture is left to the reader. 3 Timothy Donald Leehan's Ancesters and their Descendants Ancestors of Timothy Donald Leehan Cont. p. 10 Cont. p. 9 Cont. p. 8 Cont. p. 7 Cont. p. 6 Cont. p. 5 Matthew Jane John Mary Anderson Arthur D Sarah Giles Franklin Rosa Ann Sprouse Leehan Kingston Carberry Kearney Hill Alberta McCroskey Barnhouse 1835 - 1909 1837 - 1900 1842 - 1890 1854 - 1924 1865 - 1948 1871 - 1961 1861 - 1913 1860 - 1955 John Thomas Nancy Ellen Anderson Smart Walter Fay Ida Bell Gilbert Sigh Gatha C.

As your Wars of the Roses chairs, Teo Lamiot and I have been working hard with our crisis director, Sofia Filippa, and SMUNC Secretariat members to make this conference the best yet. If you have attended SMUNC before, I promise that this year will be even more full of surprise and intrigue than your last conference; if you are a newcomer, let me warn you of how intensely fun and challenging this conference will assuredly be. Regardless of how you arrive, you will all leave better delegates and hopefully with a reinvigorated love for Model UN. My own love for Model United Nations began when I co-chaired a committee for SMUNC (The Arab Spring), which was one of my very first experiences as a member of the Society for International Affairs at Stanford (the umbrella organization for the MUN team), and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Later that year, I joined the intercollegiate Model United Nations team.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 © Copyright by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia by Sara Victoria Torres Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Christine Chism, Co-chair Professor Lowell Gallagher, Co-chair My dissertation, “Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia,” traces the legacy of dynastic internationalism in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and early-seventeenth centuries. I argue that the situated tactics of courtly literature use genealogical and geographical paradigms to redefine national sovereignty. Before the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, before the divorce trials of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon in the 1530s, a rich and complex network of dynastic, economic, and political alliances existed between medieval England and the Iberian kingdoms. The marriages of John of Gaunt’s two daughters to the Castilian and Portuguese kings created a legacy of Anglo-Iberian cultural exchange ii that is evident in the literature and manuscript culture of both England and Iberia. Because England, Castile, and Portugal all saw the rise of new dynastic lines at the end of the fourteenth century, the subsequent literature produced at their courts is preoccupied with issues of genealogy, just rule, and political consent. Dynastic foundation narratives compensate for the uncertainties of succession by evoking the longue durée of national histories—of Trojan diaspora narratives, of Roman rule, of apostolic foundation—and situating them within universalizing historical modes.

  • Bryan Family History

    Bryan Family History

    BRIANIANA A BIOGRAPHICAL PEDIGREE BY EDWARD A. BRYAN About the middle of the sixteenth century, Sir Francis Bryan, Knight, rendered his government a rather curious service. In 1548 James Butler, ninth Earl of Ormonde, an Irish noble, whose powerful influence was obnoxious to the government at Dublin, died in London of poison. Thereupon his widow, Joan, daughter and heiress of James Fitz-Gerald, tenth Earl of Desmond, sought to marry her relative, Gerald Fitz-Gerald, heir of the fifteenth Earl of Desmond. To prevent this marriage, which would have united the leading representatives of the two chief Irish noble houses, Sir Francis was induced to prefer a suit to the lady himself. In 1548 he married the widowed countess, was shortly nominated Lord Marshal of Ireland, and arrived in Dublin with his wife in November 1548. This marriage united the scions of two royal houses, the one English, the other, Irish. Sir Francis Bryan was the son of Sir Thomas Bryan and Margaret, daughter of Sir Humphrey Bourchier, and sister of John Bourchier, Lord Berners. Sir Thomas Bryan was Knighted by Henry VII in 1497, was "knight of the body" at the opening of Henry VIII’s reign, and served repeatedly on the commission of the peace of Buckinghamshire, where the family property was settled. Sir Francis’ grandfather, Sir Thomas Bryan, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas from 1471 until his death in 1500, is believed to have been a descendant of Sir Guy de Bryan on Walwyn’s Castle, County Pembroke, and Tor Brian, Devon. Sir Guy was summoned to Parliament in 1350 by Edward III, whereby he was held to have become Lord Bryan.
