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.

II )2 < 7-'/ < INTRODUCTION. ^/^Sn i Chronology, so in Genealogy there are certain landmarks. Thus,n i France, to trace back to Charlemagne is the desideratum ; in England, to the Norman Con quest; and in the New England States, to the Puri tans, or first settlement of the country. The origin of but few nations or individuals can be precisely traced or ascertained. " The lapse of ages is inces santly thickening the veil which is spread over remote objects and events. The light becomes fainter as we proceed, the objects more obscure and uncertain, until Time at length spreads her sable mantle over them, and we behold them no more." Its i stated, among the librarians and officers of historical institutions in the Eastern States, that not two per cent of the inquirers succeed in establishing the connection between their ancestors here and the family abroad. Most of the emigrants 2 I NTROD UCTION. fled f rom religious persecution, and, instead of pro mulgating their derivation or history, rather sup pressed all knowledge of it, so that their descendants had no direct traditions. On this account it be comes almost necessary to give the descendants separately of each of the original emigrants to this country, with a general account of the family abroad, as far as it can be learned from history, without trusting too much to tradition, which however is often the only source of information on these matters.

  • Stanley Earls of Derby
    A STRANGE TRIP THROUGH THE FAMILY TREE OF THE STANLEY EARLS OF DERBY This abbreviated genealogy is far from thorough or fancy, but it will serve. To save time, all the data came from Wikipedia. Anything of theirs with editorial bias I avoid like the plague, but simple facts are usable. To begin: Edward Lear’s patron. This is the Lear/Earl beloved by the anagrammers. For the record, Edward Lear’s dates are (12 May 1812 – 29 Jan 1888). Edward Smith-Stanley, 13th Earl of Derby KG (21 Apr 1775 – 30 Jun 1851), of Knowsley Hall, Lancashire, styled Lord Stanley from 1776 to 1832 and Baron Stanley of Bickerstaffe from 1832-34, was a politician, peer, landowner, art collector and naturalist. He was patron to the poet Edward Lear. Edward was the only son and heir of Edward Smith-Stanley, 12th Earl of Derby, by his wife Elizabeth Hamilton, daughter of James Hamilton, 6th Duke of Hamilton. ------ Edward #13 was the son of ------ Edward Smith-Stanley, 12th Earl of Derby PC (1 Sep 1752 (OS) – 21 Oct 1834), styled Lord Stanley from 1771-76, was a British nobleman, peer, and politician. Edward was the son of James Smith-Stanley, Lord Strange (1716-1771), son of Edward Stanley, 11th Earl of Derby. (Edward’s father predeceased Edward’s grandfather the 11th Earl.) Edward’s mother was Lucy Smith, co-heiress of Hugh Smith of Weald Hall, Essex. Edward’s father Lord Strange assumed the additional surname and arms of Smith by private Act of Parliament in 1747. ------ Edward #12 was the grandson of ------ Edward Stanley, 11th Earl of Derby (27 Sep 1689 – 22 Feb 1776), known from 1714-36 as Sir Edward Stanley, 5th Baronet, was a British nobleman, peer, and politician.

  • The National Archives Prob 11/76/403 1 ______
    THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES PROB 11/76/403 1 ________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY: The document below is the will, dated 12 December 1589 and proved 9 December 1590, of Sir John Arundel (d. 17 November 1590) of Lanherne, the son of John Arundel (d.1557) and Elizabeth Danet. On 20 June 1571 the testator was appointed surveyor of Oxford’s lands in Cornwall and Devon, and in 1575 purchased all Oxford’s manors in Cornwall. The testator’s wife, referred to in the will as ‘Lady Anne Stourton’, who died in 1602, was the daughter of Edward Stanley, 3rd Earl of Derby, and the widow of Charles, Lord Stourton, who had been hanged at Salisbury in 1557 for murdering his steward. John Stourton (1533-1588), the son of Lady Anne and Charles, Lord Stourton, married Lord Cobham’s daughter, Frances Brooke (b.1562) in 1579. After John Stourton’s death, Frances married Sir Edward More (d.1623), who was named one of the executors in the 1612 will of Oxford’s widow, Elizabeth Trentham (see TNA PROB 11/121/171). Francis Brooke’s twin sister, Elizabeth Brooke (1562-1597), was the wife of Oxford’s brother-in- law, Sir Robert Cecil (1563-1612). For the Stourtons and Brookes, see McKeen, David, A Memory of Honour: The Life of William Brooke, Lord Cobham, (Salzburg: Institut fur Anglistik und Amerikanistik, 1986) Vol. 2, pp. 418-19. From the ODNB: Stanley, Edward, third earl of Derby (1509–1572) . After Wolsey's fall the remaining year of Derby's wardship was bought for 3500 marks by Thomas Howard, third duke of Norfolk (1473–1554); according to a royal pardon of February 1530, he was ‘abducted’ and married to ‘Katharine, daughter of the said Thomas’ (LP Henry VIII, vol.

DEPARTMENT CHURCH ••.;••• P-. .go CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS Omnes, si ad originem primam revocantur, a dis sunt. SENECA, Epist. xliv. One hundred copies of this work have been printed. PREFACE '•"^AN these bones live ? . and the breath came into them, and they ^-^ lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.' The question, that was asked in Ezekiel's vision, seems to have been answered satisfactorily ; but it is no easy matter to breathe life into the dry bones of more than a thousand pedigrees : for not many of us are interested in the genealogies of others ; though indeed to those few such an interest is a living thing. Several of the following pedigrees are to be found among the most ancient of authenticated genealogical records : almost all of them have been derived from accepted and standard works ; and the most modern authorities have been consulted ; while many pedigrees, that seemed to be doubtful, have been omitted. Their special interest is to be found in the fact that (with the exception of some of those whose names are recorded in the Wallop pedigree, including Sir John Wallop, K.G., who ' walloped' the French in 1515) every person, whose lineage is shown, is a direct (not a collateral) ancestor of a family, whose continuous descent can be traced since the thirteenth century, and whose name is identical with that part of England in which its members have held land for more than seven hundred and fifty years.

These notes make no pretence to any originality. I have simply strung together information which 1· have acquired from various sources ; the idea which has been in my mind is that the information which I have got together might be of interest to a considerable number of people, not only in the present, but in the future.
