We’ll sweat empathy for those still with us and those who are gone. With a tearful heart and our destiny blessed We’ll miss the old man we will feel joy who asked for a buck in the market simply for being alive. whose name we never knew who was always at your side. And we’ll give a hug to the first stranger And maybe the poor old man and praise our good luck was your God in disguise that we kept a friend. But you never asked his name because you never had the time. And then we’ll remember all that we lost And all will become a miracle. and finally learn And all will become a legacy. everything we never learned. And we’ll respect the life, the life we have gained. And we’ll envy no one for all of us have suffered When the storm passes and we’ll not be idle I ask you Lord, in shame but be more compassionate. that you return us better, as you once dreamed us. We’ll value more what belongs to all than what was earned. We’ll be more generous “Esperanza” and much more committed.

  • Devon Protestation Oaths
    Mortimers of Devon in the 1642 Protestation Oath Lists Research suggests that the Mortimers first settled in Devon in the 15th century or earlier. By 1523, the name had spread to 16 parishes and just 20 years later that number had grown to 19. By 1600, several branches of the Mortimer family had established themselves in Exeter, Devon’s capital. Over the following centuries Mortimers continued to move to Exeter. By the time of the first census in 1841, 87 Mortimers lived in Devon’s capital, out of 866 Mortimers who called Devon their home, more than any other county except Yorkshire. This document is intended to be a useful resource for genealogists but also Mortimer one name researchers. The history of the Devon Mortimer family is of interest due to their inheritance of a medieval name of great note during the middle ages, the Mortimer family of Wigmore being one of the great dynastic families of the age. Edmund Mortimer and Philippa Plantaganet, Countess of Ulster married in 1368 in Reading Abbey, with Edward IV, a great grandson of the above couple successfully claiming the throne for the house of York during the Wars of the Roses. The long line of Mortimer of Wigmore became extinct upon the death of young Earl Edmund Mortimer in 1425, but other branches survived, including Hugh Mortimer, who died fighting on the Lancastrian side in the Battle of Wakefield, 1460. One branch that survived past 1400 is of particular interest to Mortimer family researchers, the Mortimers of Attleborough, who were prosperous during the Late Middle Ages but then faded into obscurity after 1387, when most of the Mortimer estates were inherited by female co-heirs.
