Notes for Frank E.* Masland II: [Master File.ftw]

Masland preserved jobs and nature By John Hilton Sentinel Reporter Frank E. Masland Jr. was an adventurer, an astute businessman, a devoted husband and father and a noted philanthropist.

But most of all, he was squarely focused on the success of C.H. Masland & Sons in Carlisle.

Frank Masland in 1948 Masland was the driving force behind the company for 52 years, helping establish it as a national player in the carpet business and a major employer in Cumberland County.

"He didn't let anything interfere with the success of the business," says his son, Frank E. "Mike" Masland III of Carlisle.

Born Dec. 8, 1895, in Philadelphia, Masland was one of four sons of the late Frank E. and Mary Esther Gossler Masland.

He became acquainted with Carlisle when he attended Dickinson College. His college days, however, were interrupted by World War I, and Masland was a Navy ensign "subchaser" seeking out German U-boats, his son says.

After graduating from Dickinson in 1918, Masland began his 66-year marriage to Virginia Sharp, who died in 1984.

Initially the family's Philadelphia-based Masland carpet company was stuck in old buildings and a "bad labor situation," Mike Masland says. Familiar with the Carlisle area through Dickinson College, the Maslands built a new plant here in 1919.

Grew to employ 1,200 F.E. Masland Jr. would help build it into a power that employed 1,200 at its peak.

However, the company did not enjoy overwhelming success right away, Mike Masland says.

Although the company received a shot in the arm in 1922 when it began making carpets for Ford's Model T, "they really struggled in the 1930s to keep their heads above water," he says.

Mike was born in 1921 and a brother, David, came along four years later.

1 In 1934 F.E. Masland Jr. bought a farm off Route 34 in South Middleton Township. At its peak, the farm consisted of about 250 acres and included a polo field where Masland entertained.

He was not just a businessman. He was one of the founding fathers of Carlisle Kiwanis Club, serving as its first president in 1921. He later led the United Way of Carlisle and generously supported the Carlisle YMCA. He was active at Allison Church as a life-long Methodist, helping to build the present building on Mooreland Avenue after the High Street church was destroyed by a 1954 fire.

"C.H. Masland & Sons may have been his obsession, but he did not shortchange the community he proudly called home," Bishop D. Frederick Wertz, pastor emeritus of Allison United Methodist, said at Masland's 1994 funeral.

In the 1960s, when tensions between the races were running high, it was Masland's hand that made peace possible in Carlisle and his leadership that brought the races together, Wertz said.

Conservation his legacy But perhaps Masland's work as a conservationist is what will be best remembered.

That fascination with the outdoors likely began in 1948 when Masland -- at age 50 -- took his first trip down the Colorado River. He took another trip the following year and wrote a book about it titled "Adventure begins at 50."

In the book, Masland describes life in three stages -- the Silver, the Pewter and the Golden. "The Silver age begins at birth. It's the irresponsible age, embracing youth," he wrote.

Pewter is the age of responsibility, including family and marriage.

But the Golden age is the time for travel and adventure.

And travel Masland did -- visiting the Antarctic, the Galapagos Islands, Navajo reservations, the Darien Jungle in Panama and more trips to Colorado.

Those experiences translated to efforts to preserve natural resources.

Most notably, Masland gave about $200,000 to help the state buy Children's Lake in Boiling Springs from a private owner and preserve it. He also negotiated the transfer of the Kings Gap estate to the state for development as a state park.

In addition, Masland helped establish the 3,000-acre Reineman Wildlife Sanctuary in Perry County for Dickinson College and protected the huge, 8,000-year-old box huckleberry plant near New Bloomfield. That plant is believed to be the oldest living thing in the world.

He established a wildlife preserve on his South Middleton farm, helped create Thornwald Park and worked to preserve 1,000 acres at Laurel Run full of hemlocks and white pines. The Laurel Run preserve in Perry County later was named in his honor.

Worldwide influence Masland's influence in the conservation movement extended nationally and even worldwide.

As chairman of the National Parks Advisory Committee, Masland was influential in drawing up the original plans for Everglades National Park in Florida. He also explored and drew the boundaries for Canyonlands National Park in Utah.

Reporting to several U.S. secretaries of interior, Masland made trips to the national parks of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania and to the wildlife preserves in Jordan. After several meetings with Emperor Haile Selassie, Masland helped develop the National Park Service of Ethiopia.

2 On the business front, Masland served as general manager of the Carlisle plant for 11 years and was named president in 1930. He served in that capacity for 30 years before being named chairman of the board.

By that time Masland & Sons had a rule its chairman would retire at age 75 and Masland did so in 1971.

Not happy to be public During Masland's reign the carpet company went through many changes and innovations.

During World War II the company ceased production of carpet and operated 24 hours a day, seven days a week manufacturing blankets, guns, torpedo heads, tarpaulins and other items for the war effort.

Following the war the company thrived -- and Carlisle thrived along with it, as nearly everyone in town either worked for Masland & Sons or knew someone who did.

Adhering to it slogan "Always better than need be," Masland produced its famed Argonne carpet, which survived the "sidewalk test." In that test, the carpet was laid outside to be abused by rain, cold weather and passers-by.

In 1968, the company went public, a move Mike Masland says his father did not like.

"He would never have taken the company public because he didn't want anyone to know what his salary was," his son recalls with a chuckle.

Although working side-by-side with family members can be problematic, Mike Masland says he always got along with his late father.

The younger Masland recalls his father as a "dictaholic," putting out memorandum after memorandum.

"As far as he was concerned, if it wasn't written down, it didn't exist," Masland says. "I told him, 'If you go before I do, I'm going to buy a little tape recorder and put it in your casket.'"

His son did just that Aug. 4, 1994, when he was buried. Frank E. Masland Jr. died July 30, 1994, at age 98.

Masland left behind his second wife, Florence Corey Masland, whom he married when he was 93.

Among his other accomplishments, Masland was a school board member from 1927-33, a member of the Carlisle Hospital Board of Trustees, director of Carlisle Trust Co. and First National Bank of Mt. Holly Springs, and president of the Carlisle Chamber of Commerce.

He also served as former chairman of the American Carpet Institute, vice chairman of the Dickinson College Board of Trustees, a trustee of the Peddie School and Shippensburg University, and director both of the Pennsylvania Manufacturer's Association and the National Association of Manufacturers.

He earned honorary degrees from Lycoming College and Lebanon Valley College and received the YMCA "Master of Men" Award.

"He worked hard (and) he was good to his kids," Mike Masland says of his father.

"We did a lot of things together. He had a very deep religious faith. His main thing was the success of the company in Carlisle."

"Fish Eyes" Runs His Last Rapid

------

Frank E. Masland, Jr., one of the tribal elders of Grand Canyon river runners, ran his last rapid on July 30, 1994. Just short of 99 years of age, “Fish-Eyes” Masland made the Marston list of the first 100 people on their first complete traverse of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. With Norm Nevills in 1948, “Fish-Eyes”

3 joined veteran Colorado River runners Garth and Dock Marston and young Frank Wright, also on his his first trip.

As most Grand Canyon river runners know, Nevills’ cataract boats had no seats for passengers, thus requiring them to perch on the decks. Running the “Roaring 20s” on July 13th, Frank’s “...companions started calling me ‘Fish-Eyes.’ It seems the usual way for the person riding the stern of the boat to go through a rapid is sitting up, but being blissfully ignorant of the approved technique, I stretched out face down with my head overhanging the stern. Since the boats go through the rapids stern first, I was under water most of the way. The first time I went through, Norm, who was waiting at the foot, wondered what happened to me, since most of the time I had been out of sight. After two or three trips in this submerged position, they began talking about the fish-eye view I had of the water, and soon ‘Fish-Eyes’ was the name. I kept on riding that way, since it added greatly to the sport. It was like diving through ocean breakers along the seacoast.”

Frank made quite a few other river trips and wrote self published pamphlets and journal articles about them and other excursions into the canyon and arch country. Francis P. Farquhar’s annotated Selective Bibliography of The Books of the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon lists two of Frank’s works in this elite compilation: By the Rim of Time: Being the Diary and Impressions of Frank E. Masland, Jr., a Member of Norman Nevills’ 1948 Colorado River Expedition; and The Goat Run, a San Juan river trip that ended at Lees Ferry. Special Collections and Archives, Cline Library, Northern Arizona University, has copies of most, if not all, of Frank’s publications. A few hours reading them would be time well spent.

Also instrumental in establishing and protecting areas of the National Park System, Frank “received the National Parks and Conservation Association’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas Award for his ‘awesome’ contributions over a period of 50 years to the national park system.” He was also honored by having an arch he discovered named after him while he was still alive, contrary to rules of the Board of Geographic names. To bypass the rule disallowing the use of the name of a living person for a geographical feature, the euphemism “Fisheye Arch” was suggested. Today the roar of the Colorado may be implied in the name of this delightful arch in the south end of Canyonlands National Park.

On behalf of the entire Grand Canyon river running community, our condolences are extended to the family of Frank E. Masland Jr., ‘Fish-Eyes.’ His river running style will oft’ be remembered around the campfires of our lives and minds.

Notes for William* Bradway Sharp: [Master File.ftw]

From the remarks of Bishop Frederick Wertz at the funeral of William Bradway Sharp:

"There was something very special about William Bradway Sharp. We call him "Uncle Bill". Almost everybody here knew him as Uncle Bill. There was something very special about Uncle Bill. How do you touch the soul of a man? You cannot reach out and caress a heart that has known love, and faith, and courage. You cannot package the soil on his hands, so that it tells of his love for the good earth and of all things that grow and produce a harvest. You cannot bottle the sunshine of his smile that illumined every room into which he ever entered. You cannot wipe the blisters and callouses from his hands, that speak of toil in the field and on the farm and in the

5 orchard. You cannot touch the soul of a man with your hands. But somehow, there is a song that sings out of the soul of a man that speaks of who he was and what we all knew him to be. And that is why we call him Uncle Bill.

The folder I have says that William Bradway Sharp died on the fifteenth of February, 1992. I am here to tell you that, in a larger sense, Uncle Bill is not dead. He lives in every word he ever said, because he spoke of love and faith and hope, and these things do not die.

Uncle Bill is not dead. He lives in every seed he ever sowed, because the seed has a remarkable way of reproducing itself.

Uncle Bill is not dead. He lives in every tree he ever planted, because the fruit contains within itself the promise of resurrection.

Uncle Bill is not dead. He lives in the life of everyone who ever knew him: family and friends, and the extended family of faith in which we are united today because the songs of faith carol on forever.

Uncle Bill is not dead. He lives in the eternal purpose that God has for those who love him and serve him: who till the soil and care for the lonely, and sit by the side of the road and minister to all those who pass by."

Notes for Mary* Ellen Snyder: Mary Snyder was the daughter of William J. and Jeanette Bole Snyder. Bill Snyder was a successful Carlisle merchant, establishing and running a hardware business known as "Snyder's Farm Supply" until his death in 1938. Mary became known as "Billie" as a result of friendly kidding while Jeanette was pregnant. The family would often kid about little "Bill" before Jeanette gave birth. Born a female instead of the anticipated male child, she was nicknamed "Billie" ; the name followed her throughout her life and few ever addressed her as "Mary Ellen" afterward. Billie Snyder was in every sense one of the "local beauties" of Carlisle society in the late 1920s and early 30s. Billie Snyder quit the York (Pa.) School of Nursing in 1934 to marry William Bradway Sharp. They eloped and were married on March 31, 1934, in Morrisville, Pennsylvania, by their brother-in-law, the Reverend Albert Baner. Their marriage was a complementary union of two diverse personalities. Bill Sharp was the steady, silent, quiet type; Billie on the other hand was vivacious, out-going, and spirited, with a wonderful wit and sense of humor. As a loving and social pair, Bill and Billie Sharp established and maintained a wide circle of friends in the Carlisle and Boiling Springs area. To the family, Aunt Billie was greatly beloved by her many nieces and nephews due to her youthful demeanor, loving manner and joyous sense of humor. No one could be as witty as "Aunt Billie" at her best. A woman of great style and adventurous spirit, she worked many years as a floral designer at George's Flowers and later as a window dresser for several Carlisle millinery stores. Plagued by many heart and lung ailments, she was forced into early disability retirement. She died an early death in 1981 at age 67 from lung cancer and is buried in the little Springville Cemetery with her loving husband. An English Boxwood, planted by Bill, still grows by their headstone as a wonderful testament to their love.

Partner in a carriage making business called Hoffman/Reece carriages, he was a "trimmer" by trade. He and Mary eloped and were married in Old Swede's Church in South Philadelphia when Mary was 18. This is interesting also in view of the fact that Ruth Peterson, John's mother, was of Swedish descent, from the immigrant, Mans Peterson who came to New Sweden (on the Delaware) on the ship "Eagle" with Governor Rising in 1654 as the governor's provost marshal. They first lived on Main Street in Mullica Hill but eventually they took over the farm that John's father owned.

Seth G. Sharp

In Army War of 1812

Information from W.C. Sharp's "SHARP GENEALOGY" published in 1880

Seth G. Sharp was born at Mauricetown. Coming from a large family he was early "bound out" to James Compton where he lacked both the opportunity and means for an early education so that when 19 he could neither read nor write. However, he learned the alphabet and with some friendly assistance soon learned to read. By the time he reached his majority, he was fairly well conversant with the Bible which constituted his favorite textbook. His early hardships splendidly equiped him with an unusually strong physique that stood him in good stead when he was called to the Army in the War of 1812. Returning home he elected to pursue agriculture and purchased for $550 twenty two acres from John and Martha Sharp, deed bearing the date of September 1, 1814. By hard work and economy he gradually purchased several hundred acres of timber and acquiring the greater portion of the riverfront at Mauricetown, built a wharf and shipped his timber and cordwood to Philadelphia in his sloops India and Abagail Sharp. Later he purchased the farm of Lewis Shellhorn where he made his permanent home and maintained one of the most prolific farms in the countryside. On Sept 3, 1817, Seth married for his first wife Jane Yates. His second wife was Rebecca Shropshire whom he married on August 19, 1829. Seth died February 19, 1866 and was buried in the Haleyville, NJ, Cemetery.

Notes for Dr. Joseph* Butcher III: [Master File.ftw]

The Butcher family are of English extraction, Joseph, the father of this biographical sketch, having resided in Burlington County, where he followed the carpenter's craft, and married Elizabeth Lippincott. Their son, Joseph, was born May 24, 1791. Port Elizabeth was the home of his boyhood, the scene of his early educational opportunities, and his later apprenticeship to Israel Stratton to acquire the trade of a tailor. Here he remained for some years, but eventually engaged in mercantile pursuits, and in connection with his partner supplied a branch of the American army with provisions during the war of 1812. Later he embarked in the drug business, and while thus employed had his attention directed to the study of medicine. He graduated from the Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia the year of its incorporation, and chose Mauricetown, Cumberland Co., as his first and only field of labor. Here for a period of forty years he continued in active practice, his useful career as a practitioner having ended with his death in August, 1864, in his seventy-fourth year. Dr. Butcher was thoroughly versed in the science he had espoused, and speedily found that his abilities brought not only reputation, but success. For a long period he controlled the practice of the vicinity, while his steady hand and mature judgement were not less frequently sought during the later years of his life. The doctor during his professional career gave much attention to business pursuits, and for years engaged in farming occupations. He manifeated a keen interest in political events of the day, and invariably espoused the principles of the Democracy. He was, in 1842, elected to the State Legislature, having been the only representative of his party chosen to the position for a long series of years.He also for successive terms held the office of freeholder, and filled other positions of minor consequence. His thorough knowledge of general law and excellent judgement made his opinion often sought in the settlement of estates as in other matters, and won for him the reputation of a safe and wise counselor. He was an active Odd-Fellow, and a member of the Ariel Lodge, No. 56, of I.O.O.F., of Mauricetown. He was in religion educated in the Quaker faith, but later affiliated with the Methodists. Dr. Butcher was married to Miss Harriet Elkinton, of Port Elizabeth, Cumberland Co., and had children who survived, - Rhoda, Ann, Charles, Harriet, William, and Joseph. His wife having died he married again, Miss Rebecca, daughter of Paul and Rhoda Cobb, of Commercial township. Their children are Geroge E., Eliza, and Samuel. Mrs. Butcher's death occurred on the 14th of September, 1879. Four sons and a grandson of the doctor have also chosemn medicine as a profession. Charles graduated at the Pennsylvania College, Philadelphia, and settled in Mauricetown, where he practiced until his decease. Joseph was a graduate of the Jefferson Medical College in 1858, and for twenty years continued his professional labors at Dividing Creek, Cumberland Co., subsequently removing to Mauricetown, where he is still active as a practitioner. Samuel received his diploma from the Jefferson Medical College in 1864, and also settled in Mauricetown. Joseph, a son of George E., graduated from the same college in 1883, and is at present assisting his father.

Thomas married Mary Lippincott who was a first cousin to Captain Richard Lippincott and he was a Loyalist or Tory. (per answer on forum) There is some speculation that Thomas was sympathetic to the Tories. He was arrested and taken as a prisoner to Philadelphia. On April 9, 1777 he was brought before the NJ Council of Safety where he took the "Oath of Abjuration and Allegiance" and was discharged. Several Parent's were 'not much into the war".

Notes for Seth* Lore: [Master File.ftw]

One of the first settlers of Dividing Creek, New Jersey In 1751 SETH LORE (who's buried in the cemetery) gave 2 1/2 acres of the land for a house of worship and a burying ground. At that time the trustees of the church were: William Dallas, Richard Lore, Jr. and Nathan Shaw. The deed says the lot was on the uppermost part of Seth Lore's property. The Baptists in Dividing Creek had built the church by 1755.

A traveling minister from Cohansey would preach here occasionally. And from time to time the Rev. Nathaniel Jenkins and Rev. Robert Kelsey were the as well. In 1761 the church was organized and the Rev. Samuel Heaton became their first minister. It must be remembered that Baptists from Newport / Port Norris area's were members of this church.

Also, there is a plaque in front of Seth Lore's grave (he's listed below). Seth Lore's grave marker is a large stone with S L carved in it and beneath that, the year 1779 (his death). The plaque on the ground in front of his grave

16 says; "Seth Lore b. Circa 1710 in Southold L. I., NY Original settler of Dividing Creek, he donated land for the first Meeting House of the Dividing Creek Baptist Church in 1751." [KA]

DALLAS FERRY (Port Norris)

In 1749 a few houses were built and the Dividing Creek Baptist Church was organized. Seth Lore donated the land and William Dallas, Jonadab Shepherd and Thomas Shepherd began building the log meeting house. It stood on the site of the Baptist Cemetery in Dividing Creek and was completed in 1751. Seth Lore is buried in the cemetery which surrounded the meeting house and a sandstone marker with the initials "SL" marks his grave.

William Dallas, Jr. became a farmer. He owned 450 acres of land, 23 head of cattle and six hogs. Samuel Dallas, a relative, was a large land owner in Dallas Ferry. He brought his young nephew, Ichabod Lore, 2nd, to the village and sold him a farm. Ichabod Lore had a son, Levi Lore, who was born in Port Norris in 1840. Other children were Mary, Charles, Elizabeth and Ichabod Lore, 3rd. Uriah Lore bought an interest in a steam saw mill and continued for eleven years.

In 1749, William Dallas, Sr., built a tavern in his village to accommodate the oystermen and fishermen. In 1763 a four rod road was laid from Cohansey Bridge in Bridgeton to Joseph Ogden's Mill Dam in Fairton, crossing Rattlesnake Gut, then to the Cross Roads in New Englandtown to Cedarville, from there to Autuxit, then called Ogden's Mill, over the Oranoken at Beaver Dam across Dividing Creek bridge and into Dallas Ferry.

In Middletown, now North Port Norris, Isaac Petersen built a house. There he and his wife raised thirteen children. This house stands today, just north of Sockwell Road. An upstairs bedroom was framed with exposed axe hewn timber. In his will dated 1813, Petersen handed the property down to his children. Err "Shang" O'Neal, unmarried, was the last of the Petersen clan to occupy it. After his death the property was sold. It is now owned by Robert Lindsey of Port Norris.

In 1793 a road from Dallas Ferry northward through Haleyville to Buckshutem was laid out. Some of the early settlers between Port Norris and Haleyville were: Petersen, Parsons, Shinn, Shellhorne, Compton, Land, Shepherd and Rogers.

On April 18, 1775, the Revolutionary War began. During the presence of the British Fleet in the Delaware Bay, parties of English came ashore in search of provisions and plundered houses. While a large majority of the inhabitants were Whigs, there were some Torries who refused to take part in fighting the British and some of them secretly assisted the enemy in every possible way. If they were caught, they were arrested or killed but the temptation of gold induced many to furnish food and supplies to the enemy. One of the Torries lived in Berrytown and would drive cattle down the "Indian Run Over" (above Frazier Glann's) to where the British were waiting in shallops on the bayshore. Somehow, the Whigs found out that this fellow was assisting the enemy and laid in wait but not before some Torry overheard and warned him. That night, before he drove the cattle, he buried a chest of silver and gold. Before the night was over, he was killed. Local folks still search for the treasure but have not found the chest. A few gold pieces have been found.

In August of 1781 a sharp fight was held in the Maurice River opposite Dallas Ferry (Port Norris). A paper published August 28, 1781, stated: "Last week several refugees were brought to town. They were taken in Maurice River a few days before by a few Jersey militia commanded by Capt. James Riggin. The militia were in a shallop which the refugees attempted to board when the fight started during which several of the refugees were killed and the rest wounded. There were 15 in all. The brunt of the fight was sustained by Capt. Riggin and Mr. Petersen. Capt. Riggin killed four or five of the enemy on their attempt to board. He fired his musket and then made such good use of the breech that at the end of the battle, there was little left besides the barrel. Petersen was wounded by one of the enemy who there upon was about finishing him by cleaving his head open with an uplifted broadsword when Petersen's little son shot the man dead. Every refugee not killed was wounded and some desperately."

The grave of Capt. James Riggin may be seen in the West Creek Baptist Burying Ground.

In 1800 Tabor Fagan, a circuit rider, established a brick factory beside his home in North Port Norris. Mr. Fagan built his home with its hand hewn foundation securely put together with wooden pegs. The house was last owned by a descendant, Mrs. Ida Magee of Millville. The house burned down a few years ago.

17 Until 1800 bricks were brought from England. The General Assembly of NJ had fixed the size of common bricks at 9 1/2" x 2 3/4" which conformed to the size of English bricks. The clay was dug by pick and spade and transported by wheelbarrows to a pit where it was mixed with water. It was stirred by paddles with two or three horses supplying the power. This process took about four hours. When the clay was in the right condition, it was placed in cast iron forms for another drying period. After that, they were moved to a kiln. Wood was used to fire the ovens. After being fired for four days and nights, the bricks were cooled and ready for market. Today, in the depression in the field, pieces of brick may still be found. Many of the bricks were loaded on shallops and freighted out the Maurice River to Philadelphia. After 1861 the operations at the brick factory were discontinued due to transporation problems.

After the death of Tabor Fagan, his home was willed to his daughter, Mahala (Compton) who had one daughter, Frances. The balance of the estate was willed to his sons, providing they furnished their sister, Mahala, with fire wood, one barrel of port and one barrel of flour each year.

William Dallas died in 1784 leaving his property to his son Jonathan who operated the ferry for many years. Jonathan Dallas became acquainted with a wealthy coffee merchant from Philadelphia named Joseph "Coffee" Jones. Coffee Jones was quite interested in purchasing Dallas Ferry. In 1810 the purchase was completed. Jones renamed the village "Port Norris" in honor of his oldest son, Norris Jones.

Notes for James* Denn: [Master File.ftw]

James Denn, the oldest son of John and Elizabeth Denn, after the death of his father, became the owner of the

18 patrimonial estate; his wife's maiden name, I believe, was Kirby, native of Upper Penn's Neck; they had seven children--Elizabeth, Mary, James, John, Martha, Rachel and William. Their oldest daughter Elizabeth, married Mark Stewart. Mary Denn married Ezra Bradway. James Denn, Jr.'s wife was a Bacon; she left two sons, and one daughter who married William Hunt. His oldest son, Theophilus Denn, died when he was about twenty-one years of age. Job Denn, his other son by his first wife, is still living, and resides in Salem at the present time. James' second wife was Mary Haines; there were five children by his last wife--Franklin, John, who is a carpenter, living in Salem, and three daughters. Martha Denn married Aaron Evans, she left two children--Mary and Charles Evans. Rachel Denn's husband was William Abbott, the oldest son of Samuel Abbott. Rachel left two children-- John and Hannah Abbott. William Denn's wife was Mary Stewart, the daughter of James and Mary Stewart; they had seven children--Hannah Ann, Beulah, Clayton, Samuel, Charles, Elizabeth and Mary.

James Denn lived to an advanced life very much at his ease, having all his father's real estate; enjoying the natural privilege which were abundant in his time, living mostly at home in a retired way; his brother John, was apprenticed at an early age in the city of Philadelphia to his uncle, David Bacon, to learn the trade of a hatter, and soon after he became of age he commenced the hatting business in the village of Hancock's Bridge. About that time he married Susan Fitzgerald; her family belonged to Delaware; they had three children--Samuel, John and Rachel Denn. A few years later he removed to Salem and followed his trade on Market street. The house and shop were located where Thomas Hilliard's house now is; he continued at his trade until he purchased the Cripp's estate in Mannington. Soon after he abandoned his trade, removed, and took possession of his farm and soon became one of the most successful farmers in that township--certainly he was one of the best meadow men that ever lived in the county of Salem. About that time his son, John Denn, married Rhoda Shourds, daughter of Benjamin and Mary Shourds. He built, and divided his farm, and his son, John, occupied the part he built on until his death, which took place when he was comparatively a young man, leaving a widow and five children.

Notes for John* Denn: [Master File.ftw]

John Denn, several years before his death, made application to the Legislature of New Jersey for a law for him to dig a canal across the bottle of the meadow that he owned in Lower Penn's Neck, opposite his plantation in Mannington. The greater part of said meadow formerly belonged to William Penn. James Logan sold it to James Whitten, the former owner of the meadow, in 1712. He likewise had the power to contract the creek as soon as the canal became navigable. The law was obtained, and he soon afterwards commenced operations. After the canal was completed sufficiently for navigation, it was not of the capacity of the creek for draining the low lands and the large tracts of meadow that lay above the mouth of the canal, consequently the meadows were greatly damaged by not having sufficient fall of water, as great as formerly, before the creek was contracted, accordingly there was a great opposition by the proprietors of land above said canal. Meetings were called to devise some plan to prevent him from proceeding any further in his operations. They insisted he should remove the obstruction he had already made in the creek, but he continued firm in his undertakings, taking the precaution to keep within the limits of the law. He built a bridge across the creek for his own accommodation until such time as the canal would wear sufficiently to vent the water above, so it would not be any great detriment to the meadows. After fifty years or more there is now a permanent dam and road across the creek where his bridge was formerly. Therefore his plans and motives have been fulfilled, notwithstanding he did not live to see it all completed on account of his great age. At his death he was more than fourscore.

Notes for Thomas* Walling II: [Master File.ftw]

[ruth robbins.FTW]

Thomas Walling, Jr. was the oldest known child of Thomas Walling, Sr. and Mary Abbott. He was born about 1653 in Providence, Rhode Island. Providence at that time was still under the firm religious control of Roger Williams. Thomas, Jr. spent his early life in this town, but may have spent some time in East Greenwich, RI where his first wife lived. Thomas, Jr. is known to have given an Oath of Allegiance to the King in May, 1682.

Thomas Walling, Jr. and Sarah Elwell were married on 10 May 1695 in Rhode Island and it is likely that the marriage took place in East Greenwich. Their first two children may have been born in Rhode Island, but according to the "Vital Records of Rhode Island" the rest were born in Salem Co., New Jersey. Thomas Walling, Jr. and his family apparently lived on part of the 110 acre tract of land owned by Sarah's father Thomas Elwell and located near the head of Salem Creek beginning about 1695. From "Salem Deeds", on 3 July 1704, Charles Hopman assigned to Thomas Walling of Piles Grove Precinct, Salem Co., NJ (carpenter) 200 acres of land. In 1707, Thomas was listed as "Overseer for the Poor" for the Piles Grove Precinct. He apparently bought 650 acres of land (excluding 1/4 acre for burying ground) from William Allen on 13 Nov. 1718 in Prince George Co., Maryland. It is not likely, however, that Thomas Walling ever lived on this, but some of his children probably did.

Thomas Walling left a will in Salem Co., NJ dated 19 May 1724 and proved 22 Oct. - 15 Nov. 1724 at Cohansey, Salem Co., NJ in which he named his wife Sarah as Executrix and devised his estate to his children. He was also referred to as a carpenter in this will. It is not known when or where his wife Sarah died.

Notes for Joseph* Ware II: [Master File.ftw]

Joseph Ware gave the Friends a lot of ground on his plantation on the south side of the creek, the deed having been given in 1717. As soon as the meeting house was finished, the members on the north side of Monmouth river were attached to Salem Particular Meeting. The families were the Abbotts, Stubbins, Moss and Tylers. The meeting house was abandoned about that time, but the grave-yard was used for a number of years after the meetings ceased to be held at that place. The Friends subsequently purchased a lot of ground on the south side of the creek, near Harmersville, for a burying ground, which has been the principal place for interment up to this time. A number of persons, however, have been buried in the ancient grave-yard since the members of the Society, in a measure, abandoned it; such families as the Waddingtons, Hancocks, Carlls, and a few others, were desirous to be lain with their ancestors. The principal families that were members of Alloways Creek Meeting at the time alluded to were the Whites, Bradways, Denns, Wares, Chambless, Oakfords, Wades, Daniels, Hancocks, Stretches, Barbers, and several others. Friends continued to hold their meeting in the house built on the Ware property until the year 1756. In 1753 William Hancock deeded a lot of ground to the members of Alloways Creek Particular Meeting for a meeting house, as it was a more convenient location. The house was built at two different periods of time, the oldest in 1756, the new, as it is called, in 1784.

Notes for Daniel* Leeds: [Master File.ftw]

Followed his father Thomas Leeds, in 1678, coming in the Ship "Shield", which landed in Burlington in December, and was the first vessel to ascend the Delaware to that point. (His family may have settled first on Long Island; later they went to Shrewsbury, NJ). He settled about one-half mile west of the present village of Jackson in Springfield Township, Burlington County, his house being on the North side of the Turnpike leading to Burlington. He became a prominent figure in Burlington's development. He was one of the first and most prominent Deputy Surveyor General of the Province of West Jersey in 1682 and was the second Surveyor General, succeeding Thomas Revel. (Assisted by his son, Bethanah ) and was elected to the Assembly the same year. In 1702 he was appointed to Lord Cornbury's Council serving until 1708. In July 9, 1703, Lord Cornbury, in his letters to the Lords of Trade, speaks of him as a member of the Council. July, 1704, he was appointed one of the Coucilors of New Jersey, and September 7, 1706, was reappointed to the same position. As Surveyor General he made the first authorized map of Burlington, "The Streets and Lots of Land Laid in the Town of Burlington (1696)." As early as 1694, he located land in Great Egg Harbor and in 1698 made the following surveys which he confirmed by grants from the Proprietary Council of West Jersey, namely: All the land from James B. Smith' s place near Smithville running North to Holly Swamp Creek, along this Creek Wigwam Creek to Mott's Creek; along Mott's Creek to Dutch Creek thence to Lower Island. This Island is Sometimes spoken of as "Further Island". Daniel sold to his son, Felix, 7- 20-1707, and Felix in turn 11-3-1710, conveyed to his brother, Japeth. Daniel Leeds settled on this land and called it "Leeds Point". It is noteworthy as being the highest point of land on the West Coast between the Highlands and the Capes of Virginia. He was also an almanac maker of note . His first almanac was issued in Philadelphia (was the first Almanac in this country) from the press of William Bradford 1663-1752 under the title, "An Almanac for the year of Christian account 1687, Particularly Respecting the Meridian and Latitude of Burlington but May Indifferently Serve all

35 Places Adjacent. The following year Bradford published a religious dissertation by Leeds entitled, "The Temple of Wisdom for the little World: in Two Parts ets(1688)." His second almanac that for the year 1688 was suppressed by the Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting because "in imitation of the Almanacs published in England Daniel had added some light foolish and unsavory paragraphs which gave great uneasiness and offense to Friends of Philadelphia." Bradford the printer was ordered by the Meeting to bring in all unsold copies of the offending almanac and they were destroyed; although the Meeting, quite fairly, paid the printer for them. ( Almanac continued until 1716 when his sons Felix and Titan succeeded him.) Al though he wrote a letter of apology to the Meeting, after this episode Leeds shortly withdrew from the Society of Friends and consorted with Bradford and George Keith who had become opponents of Quakerism. Henceforth he wrote numerous pamphlets, rather recklessly, accusing the founder of the Society of Friends, George Fox, of forgeries, and William Penn for covering up the evidence of them . For his attacks upon the heads of Quakerdom, Leeds became a target of Quaker pamphlets. On the title pages of his earliest almanacs Leeds described himself as a "Student of Agriculture." He passed the greater part of his life in Burlington, NJ where he died. His first two wives were Friends.

304. Daniel* Robins, born 1645 in Blair Atholl, Scotland; died August 18, 1714 in Crossweeks, Monmouth, NJ. He married 305. Hope Potter May 26, 1663 in New Haven, CT. 305. Hope Potter, born October 31, 1641 in New Haven, CT; died 1687 in Woodbriged Middlesex Monmouth, New Jersey. She was the daughter of 610. William* Potter and 611. Frances Child.

Notes for Daniel* Robins: [Master File.ftw] came to America as an indentured servant Daniel Robins was the first settler of that name in N.J. Most Robins/Robbins descend from him. Among the settlers from New England who settled in the Twsp. of Woodbridge in 1669-70 was Daniel Robins, who was first mentioned in a patent from Philip Cartaret, dated March 18, 1669-70, conveying to "Daniel Robins of the Towne of Woodbridge, yeoman certain parcells of upland and meadow in and about said Towne of Woodbridge", etc. containing 175 acres. He lived there for 25 years and during that time owned several other tracts of land. In 1692 he was the marshal or sergeant of the township. In 1692 he bought from John Reed a tract of land in Monmouth County containing 500 acres. He moved there the following year, disposing of his corporation rights , etc. in Woodbridge to Adam Hude, of Staten Island, and of his lands there to his son Daniel. Daniel came from Puritan stock, but after moving to Monmouth County, where all his friends and neighbors were Quakers, he became identified with that society, as were many of his descendants thereafter. He died in August, 1714. Sons mentioned in his will were Daniel, Moses, Richard, Aaron and Benjamin. His daughters mentioned were Mary, Hope and Lydia, wife of *William Sharp, of Woodbridge. *(That is interesting)

36 Daniel and Hope Potter/Robbins had 10 children in all, 8 survived him. Their names were Josrph, Nathaniel, Daniel, Richard, Moses, Aaron, Benjamin, Mary, Hope and Lydia

From notes of Dlora Hall Dalton. 1669 mentioned as coming from New England as one of first settlers of Woodbridge, Middlesex, New Jersey...patent from Philip Carteret, 18 Mar 1669/70 conveying to "Daniel Robens of the towne of Woodbridge, yeoman, certain parcells of upland and meadow in and about said towne of Woodbridge...etc" containing 173 acres. 1680 superintended the construction of a causway, was elected constable, was the tax collector in 1688, appointed marshal or sergeant of the court in 1692. Although he was of Puritan stock, on his removal to Crosswicks, Monmouth Co., N.J., in 1695 he became identified with the Soc. of Friends. It is suggested that his wife died in or before 1695, since she is not mentioned after he moved. There is some confusion as to who Daniel married. Isaac Gilbert Robbins (Robbins Genealogical Collection, FHL US/CAN film 1036069, pt 10)says"Daniel, born 1640 and Hope (Simmons) married at Sandwich [Barnstable Co], or Wareham [Plymouth Co.], Mass, 1659..." Other genealogists agree that she was Hope Potter of New Haven. Dlora Hall Dalton could not find the marriage in the records of New Haven, but she located the marriage of Daniel Robinson and Hope Potter (Vital Records of New Haven, 1649-1850, FHL US/CAN 974.67/N1 Viop.20) This evidence plus the recorded birth of two children with the right names and ages in New Haven suggest to her that Daniel Robinson and DanielRobins (also spelled Robbins) are the same individual. Daniel's will was written 13 Jun 1714 and probated on 18 Aug1714 (Genealogy Collection of Charles R. Hutchinson FHL US/CAN film 0946273, bookA-D) names Daniel, Moses, Richard, Aaron, Benjamin, Mary, Lydia, and Hope as living and Nathaniel, being survived by his daughters Sarah and Marabe Robins.Lydia is named as the wife of William Thorp of Woodbridge, NJ. Hutchinson feels that Daniel is the son of Richard Robins who emigrated to Charlestown, Massachusetts, as early as 1639. Richard was the second son of John and Hester Robins of Theddingworth, England. (no solid proof). Frank J. Robbins (FHL US/CAN film 1036069 pt 9) agrees that John and Hester are ancestors but that Daniel descends from the oldest son, John who emigrated to Wethersfield, Connecticut as early as 1638. Isaac Gilbert Robbins doesn't think that Daniel comes from this line at all, instead belongs to John Robins of Oyster Bay, Long Island. Dlora Hall Dalton, thinks that all are wrong. She can find no Daniel Robins in any records showing English descent, but she can find only a single reference to a Daniel Robinson coming to America from Scotland. According to the passenger list, Daniel Robinson came to Boston on the ship "John and Sarah" as a prisoner to be sold by order of the English Government (New Eng. Historical and Genealogical Register, FHL US/CANB2neVol.1 p. 379). She notes: "In the aftermath of the Civil War in England, Cromwell sent to the Colonies between three and four hundred Scottish prisoners of war, captured in the battles of Dunbar and Wrocester, to be sold as slaves (see'New World Immigrants' FHL US/CAN 973 W3tn pp 135-160). In 'Boston, a Chronological and Documentary History' is written: '1652 Spring. Boston's first non-English element of population arrives, 272 Scots banished by Oliver Cromwell'(FHL US/CAN 974.461 H291, p 8). Daniel was one of these men. Apparently he fought in the Battle of Dunbar on the side of the Scots against Cromwell's Englishmen and lost." These men were sold for 6 to 8 year indentures, after which they were free according to a letter from Rev. John Cotton of Mass. to Lord General Cromwell (FHL US/CAN 973 W3s p 157). Dlora Hall Dalton could find no information regarding Daniel's indenture nor any indication where he might have come from to join the army, but she firmly believes that he was a Scot. Sara Robbins Hoffman in "The Exile of Daniel Robins to America in 1652" privately printed in 1992 (LDS Family History Library) says that Daniel Robins was born near Blair Atholl, Scotland, to Richard and Mary [Robertson], members of the Clan Donnachaidh. He was recruited into the Scots army supporting Charles II against Cromwell's Commonwealth army. It is not clear just when this happened; it may have been in time for the Battle of Dunbar in 1650. "On 3 September 1651, the anniversary day of the Battle of Dunbar, Cromwell's army met and defeated the Royalist Army at Worcester. It was here that Daniel Robinson/Robins was taken prisoner of war, marched to London, and confined to Tothill Field near Parliament House to await his fate." He was selected to be transported to New England aboard the JOHN and SARAH. After a difficult winter passage, they arrived in Boston in February of 1652. Daniel's indenture was bought by Nathaniel Foote of Connecticut. It was in this place that he married Hope Potter whose sister, Sarah, was married to Robert Foote, brother of Nathaniel Foote, Jr. The Exile of Daniel Robins by Sara Robbins Hoffman 1992. information on the early Robins family.

Notes for Thomas* Walling: [Master File.ftw]

[ruth robbins.FTW]

Assigning the parentage of Thomas Walling to Ralph Wallen & Joyce is not documented and is probably incorrect.

Thomas Walling Sr. is first documented at Winter Island, a Maine fishing camp, about 1645. He was arrested at Plymouth Colony somewhat later, being involved in an romantic escapade wherein George Way stole his father's boat and with Thomas Walling and one other young man, "rescued" two young married women from their abusive husbands and escaped from Winter Island to Plymouth.

All these young miscreants were returned to Maine by Plymouth authorities, except for Mr. Walling (the ring- leader?), who served his sentence in Plymouth thence eventually made his way to Providence Plantation and made formal request to join that community. Roger Williams wrote the town fathers concerning Thomas Walling, alluding to his clouded past and establishing criteria for citizenship in the community. He was granted entry into Providence and originally stayed with the Daniel Abbott Sr. family He later married Mary, the only daughter of Daniel Abbott. When Mary's father died, Thomas Walling inherited one of Providence Plantation's founder’s sharesand was granted a portion of new lands every time Providence expanded its borders. He prospered hugely.

Walling’s marriage to Mary Abbot was not a happy one, and Providence records show Thomas involved in two public cases of adultery. In the first case, he was involved with a pirate's widow (I know that sounds weird but the history is clear), with whom he deserted his family and ran away (probably to Maine). It is to this liaison that James Walling was probably born about 1668 in Maine. This is deduced from James’s birthdate, naming pattern for his children and the fact that James Walling never appears in Providence Town records.

Thomas Walling eventually returned to Mary Abbot and his family, but soon became involved with another neighbor's wife, Margaret White Colwell, wife of Robert Colwell. This relationship also became public, and both were convicted of adultery and sentenced to be whipped in the town square at Newport. Whipping was the punishment for a second offense of adultery, so it appears that it was a second such event for both. Margaret White was subsequently divorced by her husband Robert Colwell, the first such divorce in the history of Providence Plantation.

38 About the time of the divorce, Mary Abbot died -- thus allowing Thomas Walling to marry his love, Margaret White Colwell, and they had several children prior to his death.

I believe that the Thomas Walling Sr. who stayed to fight the Indian attack on Providence Plantation during King Phillip's War in 1676 was the son of this original immigrant ancestor.

Providence and Plymouth records provide documentary evidence of all the forgoing except the maternal ancestor of James Walling, which is only supposition based upon timing and lack of that man in Providence records; the naming pattern of James’ children is also supportive.. However, Thomas Walling did make disposition of property to his son James as evidenced by that man’s extensive property in Smithfield R.I.

Thomas Walling, Sr. may have been born in England (possibly in the village of Walsingham in Norfolk Co.) about 1630 and may have immigrated to America sometime before 1645 when a reference to Thomas "Walwin" is made in Providence records. No record of his parents or how he came to America has yet been proved. However, Mrs. Edna Walling Neuhauser has advanced the compelling theory that there may have been two Thomas Wallings in the vicinity of Providence, RI about 1650 and that there is a good possibility that they were father and son. Several other Walling families (including Ralph and Joyce Wallen who came on the Pilgrim ship "Anne" on 10 July 1623) settled in New England about the same time period, but the relationship of these families is as unclear. It is known, however, that Ralph and Joyce Walling settled in Plymouth Colony where Ralph died about 1633. Thomas Walling, Sr. settled at Providence in the colony of Roger Williams and was recognized in a letter from Williams on 23 Jan. 1651. In this letter Williams suggested that Walling should "foresake his former courses" and assure the Townsmen that "he is not engaged to other women". On 28 July 1651, Thomas became a Townsman in Providence.

Thomas Walling and Mary Abbott were married in the Spring of 1651 in Providence. Thomas became a Freeman in 1655 and was appointed commissioner and magistrate in 1657. He sold a home share of land on 25 Jan. 1657 to Richard Pray and in 1660 was a surveyor of roadways in Providence. On 19 Feb. 1665, Thomas Walling drew lot #72 in a division of land among the proprietors of Providence.

Mary died about 1669 in Providence, and a few months later Thomas married his second wife Margaret (White) Colwell on 19 June 1669. On 27 July 1670, Thomas Walling complained in Providence court against a charge brought by Thomas Olney, Jr. over right-of-way through land belonging to Olney. Thomas Walling, Sr. was one of those who "staid and went not away" during King Phillip's War, which began with an Indian attack on the town of Swansea in Plymouth Colony near the Rhode Island- Massachusetts border. The first massacre came on 18 June 1675, as the colonists were returning home from a Fast Day service at their church. Other attacks followed swiftly; Dartmouth, Taunton, and Middleboro. The Indian who instigated the attacks was Metacomet, called King Phillip. He was the second son of Massasoit, Chief of the Wampanoags and leader of a league of Indians from Maine to Connecticut. The settlers organized themselves to retaliate and bloody battles ensued. On 29 May 1676, the Indians burned Providence. Later, it was learned that about two-thirds of the men had fled to safer territory, but 27 "staid and went not away". Among these 27 were Thomas Walling, Sr., Roger Williams, Daniel Abbott, Jr., James Olney, and William Hopkins.

Thomas Walling, Sr. died between 19 July 1674 and 10 Aug. 1674 in Providence, leaving a will in which he named his wife Margaret as Executrix. He bequeathed his farm to his sons Thomas, John, and William; his house to William; other lands to sons James and Cornelius; and remembered his daughter Abigail with a "trifle". After Thomas, Sr. died, Margaret married Thomas' former wife Mary's brother Daniel Abbott, Jr. on 25 Dec. 1678. They had children Mary (b: 13 Dec. 1679) and Daniel (d: 7 Nov. 1760). Margaret later died in 1717.

Notes for Thomas* Elwell: [Master File.ftw]

[ruth robbins.FTW]

Thomas Elwell was born and raised in the small fishing village of Gloucester and apparently resided there following his marriage to Sarah Bassett on 23 Nov. 1675 in Gloucester. In about 1685, they moved to Lynn, MA. It is not known for certain just when they left Lynn for New Jersey, but on 6 Nov. 1698, a deed was made by Benjamin Acton to Thomas Elwell "late of New England, now of Salem Town, weaver" for 110 acres of land located at the head of Salem Creek. Thomas is believed to have been a member of the Baptist Church at Pitt's Grove, NJ in 1701.

On 25 Apr. 1706, Thomas Elwell, Sr. of Pile's Grove Precinct (shown to be a carpenter) made his will and gave his wife Sarah "land and plantation where I now live". After Sarah's death, the will stated that the plantation should go to his son Samuel. He also left his wife "all movables inside and outside" which should be passed on to his 3 daughters Sarah Walling, Mary Nicholds and Elizabeth Elwell. To his son Thomas, he left 2 pounds; to son William, 2 pounds; to son John, 1 pound, when son Samuel attains 21 years of age. Sarah and Samuel were named executors and were authorized to convey to his son-in-law Thomas Walling "15 acres where he now liveth on, which was purchased of me". The sons of Thomas and Sarah Elwell did not live to an old age and died in the order in which they were born. It is not known when or where wife Sarah died

Notes for Charles* Oakford: [Master File.ftw]

Charles and Wade Oakford emigrated from England to West Jersey about 1695; it is evident by the records of the Wade family they were nephews of Edward Wade, instead of what many supposed, that Charles Oakford's wife was the daughter of Edward. The brothers, Charles and Wade Oakford, had considerable means when they came in 1698, each of them contributed quite a sum of money for that time, towards erecting the first brick meeting house in the town of Salem.

He was a blacksmith and came over as and indentured servant to Dr. Daniel Wills to whom he was bound for four years. On 12th month 22nd, 1681 a tract containing 300 acres was surveyed for Daniel Wills, Jr. and George Elkinton on the northern side of Rancocas Creek. 100 acres of this farm was given to George Elkinton for his four years of faithful service.

He marred Mary Core, a widow, in 1688. Their children were Joseph, George, Joshua, Thomas, Mary, and Elizabeth.

Timothy settled on a tract of 100 acres of land in Burlington County, between the forks of the Pensauken Creek, about two miles from the present town of Moorestown. In 1682, in connection with William Matlock and John Roberts, he bought a piece of land of the Indian chief Tallaca, the original deed that is now preserved by a descendant of William Matlock.

"[The following is the deed, verbatim:] 'Know all people that I tallaca have had and Received of and from John Roberts with the consent of the neighborhood at pimsawquin one match coate one Little Runlit of Rum and two bottles of Rum In Consideration whearof I the said taleca doe hearby grant Bargain and sell unto the said John Roberts timothy Hancock and William Matlock all those plantations at pimsawquin promising for Ever to defend the said John Roberts etc from all other Indians Laying any Claime theareto in wittness whearof I the said talleca have hear unto my hand and seale the twelveth day of April 1684. [Then the mark of Z talleca.']

"Timothy was a young man when he came to New Jersey. Three years later, -- November 16, 1684, -- he married Rachel Firman, in Evesham monthly meeting. Rachel died before 1690 and Timothy married Susannah Ives. He was a prominent man in the colony.

TIMOTHY AND HIS SISTER MARY HANCOCK Timothy Hancock and his sister, then about fifteen, came from their home in Brayles, Warwickshire, England in the ship 'Paradise' arriving in West Jersey on March 7, 1681. Timothy was able to pay the passage money for the two of them. When they landed they had little worldly goods; they were a humble pair and the community readily accepted them. A year later Mary let several suitors know that she was spoken for as her heart favored William Matlack. The Quaker ceremony in 1682 was a joyous event; William was thirty-four and Mary sixteen.

Timothy Hancock married first in 1684 Rachel Firman. His second marriage was to Susannah Ives. His 100-acre tract adjoined the Matlack homestead. As more settlers came into the area, William Matlack and Timothy Hancock thought it a good idea to set up a Friends Meeting and with the consent of the Burlington Friends this was established in the Hancock home in 1685. There on what the Quakers called 'first days' the neighbors met to meditate and pray as they wished.

Child of Timothy* Hancock and Susannah Ives is: 225 i. Hannah Hancock, born June 25, 1695 in Chester, Morris, New Jersey; died 1725 in Burlington County, New Jersey; married Emanuel* Stratton November 06, 1713 in Camden, New Jersey.

454. Philip* Packer II, born March 19, 1656/57 in London, England; died 1739 in Burlington,NJ. He was the son of 908. Esquire Philip* Packer and 909. Sarah* Isgar. He married 455. Rebecca Jones Abt. 1702 in Philadelphia,PA. 455. Rebecca Jones, born Abt. 1685 in Philadelphia,PA; died May 30, 1768 in Burlington,NJ. She was the daughter of 910. Daniel Jones and 911. Mary.

Notes for Philip* Packer II: [Master File.ftw]

Although Philip was born in London, he was raised in Ireland. Obviously, given the mores of that period, he had no legal claim to any property of his father. It is not clear whether in fact he and his brothers used the name

51 Packer or if they went by their mother's name, Isgar. The father, Philip had substantial holdings in Ireland, so it posed no problem to have his "second" family there. Philip was an indentured slave to Joseph Fisher of Dublin. After his servitude of four years, he was to receive 50 acres of land in the colony of Pennsylvania. He was given his freedom on August 14, 1687. In 1689 he was a yoeman of the Philadelphia Co. and was appointed as the administrator of his wife's estate.

Note: Lineage . As an illegitimate child, Phillip could not inherit anything from his father, was reared in Ireland by his mother; he immigrated to Philadelphia on the Lion of Liverpool 14 Aug 1683 as an indentured servant of Joseph Fisher and his wife Elizabeth (of Stillorgin, near Dublin, Ireland); Philip to receive no money, but after his 4-year indenture was up, to receive 50 acres of land; was of Philadelphia Co, PA in 10 Sep 1689 as a yeoman; settled in Burlington, NJ by 1705.

Much of what we know about the Packer family before 1850 comes from research done by Warren Packer from Evansville, Indiana. The following are excerpts from his letter to Richard Packer dated 27 Feb,1958.

Philip Packer arrived in Philadelphia on the Lion of Liverpool on 14 August 1683 as an indentured servant of Joseph Fisher. He had four years to serve and was to receive 50 acres of land but no money at the end of his indenture. The Fishers were from Stillgorin, near Dublin, Ireland but we think that Philip was from England. Two years later, 10 Sept 1685, Philip married in the house of Joseph Fisher in Philadelphia to Hannah Sessions, who was born 11 June 1665 in Oxfordshire, England. Her parents, James and Ann Sessions, were members of the Friends Meeting at Witney, Oxfordshire, before coming to America. The next record of Philip Packer that we find was 10 Sept, 1689 when he was a yeoman of Philadelphia County. He was appointed administrator of the estate of his mother in law, Ann Sessions. The second wife of Philip Packer was Rebecca Jones, who came with her parents from Wales. She married 27 March, 1741. We do not know when Hannah died . We do know that Philip Jr. was Hannah's son. Philip Packer Jr., was born 1686 in Pa. He married in 1724 in Chester Co., Pa. to Ann Coates, daughter. of Peter Coates. She was born in Ireland, and the family came to America as the result of the "war" against Protestants in Ireland. The Coates family was Antibaptist. Philip Packer, Jr., lived in New Jersey and then moved to the head of Chester, in Maryland., for a short time, finally going to the vicinity of Yellow Springs in Chester Co. He died in Pikeland Twp., Chester Co. He was injured in the back in a sawmill accident and struck by a pitman (whatever that was) so that in later years he was feeble and walked with two staves. At one time he lived with his son James in Uwchland Twp. , Chester Co. near Downington. Later he lived with his son Moses, who was bound to support his father and mother. Ann live with her son Moses as a widow until he moved to York Co., Penn., at which time she went to live with her son James and died at the close of the Revolutionary War. Philip Packer, Jr., was connected with the Friends Society in Burlington Co., New Jersey, and later with the East Caln Monthly Meeting in Chester Co., Penn. Philip and Ann had five children, among whom was James. James Packer was born in Middlesex Co., New Jersey, 4 Feb,1726 . James died at Howard , Centre Co., 10 Jan 1805, and is buried in the Old Packer cemetery near Howard. He married at East Caln Monthly Meeting of Friends in Chester Co., 1Jan, 1752 to Rose Mendenhall, who was born Chester Co., 4 August 1733 and died at Bald Eagle, Jun 1824; her parents were Aaron and Rose (Pierson) Mendenhall. From various records we find that James Packer went from New Providence Monthly Meeting to Gwynedd, 30 Nov , 1750 and from Gwynedd to Goshen. The tax lists of Chester Co. show that he was in Pikeland twp. 1765-1781. He was taxed in East Caln twp., 1767-1771. He evidently did not live in Pikeland, as he was taxed on property only and not on animals. In 1794 he was taxed on a mill in Centre Co., Penn. In 1796 he was overseer of the poor in Bald Eagle twp., which at that time was in Centre Co. The tax records Centre co. show that in 1801 he was taxed on 50 acres and 1 horse; in 1802 on 250 acres; in 1803 on 200 acres, and again in 1804 on 200 acres. In 1808, Rose Packer was taxed on 265 acres, as she was in 1809 and 1810. The land records of Centre Co. show that on 19 Dec 1796 James Packer, Sr. received of Thomas Johnston ( who was his son-in-law) and James Packer Jr., 34 pounds, 9 shillings, for part of the money due for a tract of land, 200 acres, mill, and sawmill. On 19 May 1800, James Packer, Sr., settled with Thomas Johnston for 200 acres, gristmill, and sawmill, with James Packer, Jr., present. Among the thirteen children of James and Rose was James Jr. who was the father of Gov. William Fisher Packer and Aaron Packer. The birth record of Aaron is found in the Uwchland Monthly Meeting records as 5 November 1764. He married Hannah Johnston, who died 1804, age 40, and is buried in the Packer cemetery. In the 1801tax list of Centre Co., Aaron Packer was taxed on 20 acres and 1 cow. In 1802, Aaron Packer, a blacksmith, was taxed on 25 acres, as he was until 1804. We do not find any record of him after that time. Aaron and Hannah had

52 six children, among whom was Jehu Packer. Jehu Packer ( in some of the records as John ) was born 15 October 1792 in Chester Co., Penn., and died in Howard twp., 31 January 1852. He married Sarah Lowe or Dow, who was born in 1793 and died 15 February 1871, Dau. of Patrick Lowe or Dow. they are both buried in the Packer cemetery. His will is on file in Centre Co. I found him listed in 1830 census of Bald Eagle twp., Centre Co. as well as in the 1850 census of Howard twp. He and Sarah had twelve children among whom was Maria, born 25 September 1827. Maria Packer , a daughter of Jehu and Sarah (Lowe or Dow) Packer. She was born 25 September 1827 and married Henry Glossner. I don't have their marriage date. It is not known for sure why Jared Packer was in the Glossner family. The brothers of Maria Packer Glossner were Job Way Packer, John Johnson Packer, Cornelius Lemborn Packer,James, William Nelson, All of these men lived much beyond 1850 and would not have left a son to be living in the household of their sister. In 1885 Reuben Glossner was appointed administrator of Henry Glossner, late of the Borough of Howard, Center co. with widow Maria. In order to solve the mystery of why Jared or (Jairus) was given the name Packer rather than Glossner I wrote to his daughter Mrs. Guyer I received her reply today 28 Feb 1958. She said that her father was buried seventy years the fourth of January at Howard. . She said that he was killed and that he worked in the woods as a lumberman. She also stated that his mother gave him her maiden name which was Packer, for what reason she never heard. It might have been that he was born out of wedlock.

The above was in Family Tree Maker, CD Vol 1-1637. Much more information was gathered from Family Tree Maker, CD Vol 4-2818. The information on the line from Jehu down to Zella was researched and entered by Daniel Ellis Howe. Much of the info was taken from: Linn's, History of Centre and Clinton Counties Pennsylvania, 1883.

The Packer information has also been checked against the information contained in a very fine book written by Donna Smith Packer titled "On Footings From The Past: The Packers in England".

Notes for Andrew* Friend: [Master File.ftw]

Andrew was appointed tax collector in 1683 for Providence Twp. In 1687, Andrew was indicted "for unlawfully ranging the woods and for driving peoples' cattle as horses and mares back into the woods to the great detriment of many of the inhabitants". However the trial was adjourned, and Andrew was fined 5 shillings only for swearing in court. In 1690 Andrew was found guilty of stealing a hog. By 1710 Andrew moved to the Potomac Valley from Swede's Delight near Chester, PA. He was engaged in trading with the Indians. In 1693, Andrew was shown as heading a household of four persons in May. Although his wife's name is known to be Isabel, the fact that this given name does not appear among his descendants suggests that she was his second wife. The fact that he named a son Israel, a very unusual name at that time, suggests that he may have married a daughter of Israel Helm. No will has been found for Andrew Friend.

Notes for Richard* Lippincott: [Master File.ftw]

His ancestors are traced to the Domesday Book, compiled by in the days of William the Conqueror.[Stillwel.FTW]

Richard Lippincott, the ancestor of the Lippincott family in America, emigrated from Devonshire, England, about 1639 or 1640....He associated with the early settlers of the colony of Massachusetts Bay and was admitted a Freeman by the General Court of Boston, 13th May, 1640...." In 1651 he was excommunicated for the First Church of Boston, for "withdrawing from Communion with the Church". He returned to England to Plymouth in Devonshire, where his 3rd son, Restore was born on 3rd day, 5th month, 1653. He became a Quaker and was imprisoned several times for this. When Rhode Island colony promised freedom of religion, Richard moved with his family their, and was there in 1663. In 1665, Friends were granted a patent to settle in East Jersey, and the Lippincotts moved there to Shrewsbury Town. George Fox visited the

54 Friends Meeting there in 1672. Lippincott arranged with John Fenwick who was establishing a Quaker settlement at Salem, NJ for Richard and his five sons to have land there. He died 25th day 9th month, (Old Style) 1683. So Richard was first, one of the Massachusetts settlers, later a settler in Rhode Island, and later still in New Jersey. He certainly was a "pilgrim" in that he moved from place to place in search of religious freedom.

In another pamphlet, "The One Hundred & Fiftieth anniversary , Mullica Hill Meeting, Religious Society of Friends," 1947,is the note: ..."Richard Lippincott, the pioneer, entertained George Fox in 1672. Richard Lippincott's wife Abigail died in 1697, having freed her slaves before her death."(page 11).

Richard was born in 1615 in Stonehouse, Devonshire, England. (Today's map shows Stonehouse as being just below Gloucester, which is not in the county of Devon, but above it. may have changed, however). Richard arrived in this country from England on May 13, 1639-1640, a freeman. He lived in Dorchester, near Boston from 1641-1644 when he moved to Boston. This period must have started out all right, for the names of the first two children born here are rather normal, but the church cast him out because of his "unyielding scruples" and the family returned to England. In the minutes for the First Church of Boston is written:" whereupon for not hearing ye church in their convincing arguments, was excommunicated from ye fellowship of ye church of ye 6th of ye 5th month, 1651, in ye name of ye Lord Jesus and with ye consent of ye church, being admonished twice before." The 4th child was born in Plymouth, England and the next 3 in another town in Devon. The family then returned to America, going to a more lenient Rhode Island where the last child was born. In 1669 they moved to Shrewsbury NJ as patentee under the charter of 1664. Keeping in mind that this was a period of tremendous turmoil in England, where their civil war erupted under Oliver Cromwell in 1642 after some 25 years of increasing stresses under Charles I. The last 5 children's names are statements of their father's attitudes: Restore-doubtless so named in commeration of his restoration to his native land England, Freedom, to commemorate his recent release from durance vile:, Increase, Jacob and Preserve. The names of these children form the words of a prayer (which only needed a son named Israel to be complete)....Thus, Remember John, Restore Freedom, Increase Jacob, Preserve (Israel).

Richard became a member of the first English colony in New Jersey in which he was the largest shareholder. He had 1000 acres lying on the Cohansey River in the present county of Salem, New Jersey. This land was conveyed for the payment of 20 pounds, consideration money and two bushels of wheat annually, in rent. This land was surveyed in 1678 and divided among the five son's of Richard.

RICHARD LIPPINCOTT immigrated about 1693 /1640 from England to Boston, Massachusetts and after several moves in Massachusetts, went to Providence, Rhode Island, and later to Salem County, New Jersey. Descendants lived in New England, New Jersey, New York, Maryland and elsewhere. RICHARD LIPPINCOTT was born in Stonehouse, Devonshire, England and immigrated to Dorchester, Massachusetts before 1640. They later moved to Rhode Island and then Shrewsbury, New Jersey, where he died in 1683/84. RICHARD LIPPINCOTT and his wife, Abigail, immigrated in 1639 from England to Boston, Massachusetts. By 1650, RICHARD and ABIGAIL had pretty much turned to the teachings of Fox, the Quaker, which caused them to be excommunicated from the Puritan Church. They encountered such difficult times as Quakers that by 1663 they took their family back to England for a time , and then immigrated again, this time to Rhode Island in 1663, which provided refuge for all religious beliefs. They then moved later to Shrewsbury, Monmouth County, New Jersey. Descendants and relatives lived in New England, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and Illinois, Iowa and elsewhere. Some descendants immigrated to Ontario and elsewhere in Canada. While living in New Jersey, RICHARD was the largest shareholder in the company that colonized on Shrewsbury River and was an active officer of that colony. He was also a Deputy of the Patentees and in 1670 was an Overseer of Shrewsbury Town. Having found at last, a fixed residence , he spent the last eighteen years of his life there in New Jersey, and died November 25, 1683. The will can be found in the New Jersey Colonial Documents, Calender of Wills, page 294. R ICHARD LIPPINCOTT owned land at Long Point and had personal property. His assets were in pounds, of course, and from the inventory of his estate he had L428.2.0, with a debt of L30 due , and negro servants valued at L60. His wife, ABIGAIL, was named executrix. THE LIPPINCOTT FAMILY in America, from the ancestors RICHARD AND ABIGAIL, who removed from Devonshire, England in 1639, and settled at Boston,

55 New England. Having been excommunicated from the Church at Boston for non-conformity in 1651, he returned with his family to England, and resided at Plymouth Devon and early thereafter became a member of the Society of Friends then emerging from the various sects around them, and in consequence endured much persecution for the testimony of good Conscience. In 1663, he returned to New England and lived for several years in Rhode Island, and finally, in 1669, established himself and family at Shrewsbury, Monmouth Count y, New Jersey, where he died 25th of 9th month,(November Old Style), 1683. His widow, Abigail , died in 1697, leaving a considerable estate. The name, LIPPINCOTT, is one of the oldest of local origin in England and was derived from Lovecote which is described in the Domesday Book of Census, made by order of William the Conqueror in 1086, of lands held by Edward the Confessor in 1041-1066. This Saxon name implies that a proprietor named Love held the house, Cote, and lands, hence called Lovecote, which name was probably already ancient. Surnames were not settled until about this date and hence Lovecote, Loughwyngcote, Lyvenscott, Luffingcott, Luppingcott, through which variations it has descended to become fixed in Lippincott during the last two centuries and is undoubtedly of great antiquity. FROM THE LDS FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARY IN SLC: RICHARD LIPPINCOTT, the ancestor of the LIPPINCOTT family in America, emigrated from Devonshire, England, about 1639 or 1640, and was probably nearly connected with the branch settled near Sidbury, which early settlers of the colony of Massachusetts Bay, and was admitted a Freeman by the General Court of Boston, 13th May, 1640. In 1641, RICHARD and his wife, Abigail, resided at Dorchester, near Boston.

Notes for Freedom* Lippincott: [Master File.ftw]

Freedom Lippincott, fourth son of Richard & Abigail Lippincott, was a tanner. He moved from Monmouth Co. to Burlington Co. in 1687. He lived by the Rancocas Creek, where the king's highway crossed it, just about where Bridgeboro now stands. In 1687, he bought 288 acres in Burlington Co. and made his home on that land. He was also a blacksmith and in the summer of 1697, while shoeing a horse, he was killed by lightning. His widow and five children survived him.

On 2 Sep 1680, Freedom Lippincott of Shrewsbury and Mary "Costoms" of Burlington proposed their intentions of marriage before the Burlington Monthly Meeting held at John Woolston's house in Burlington. They passed meeting the following 6 Oct. and were married eight days later at Burlington as shown by the marriage record.

Since Quaker marriages are frequently witnessed by relatives, careful attention is given to those who witnessed this marriage. The only Lippincott relative present was Freedom's brother Remembrance. Thomas Olive who witnessed the marriage was the emigrant to West Jersey whose wife Judith Nottingham "Jude", was a sister to Ann(Nottingham)Custance/Custin, Mary Custance's mother. Therefore Thomas and Judith Olive were Mary's aunt and uncle and probably her senior relatives in West Jersey.

Judith Olive continues to be of interest to Freedom and Mary Lippincott's family. "Judeth"Olive was present at the "birthing" on 24 Dec 1684 of their son Samuel. Judith Olive was also present at the birth of

56 Thomas, their son, on 28 Dec 1686. Judy Olive died on 4 Nov 1688 which is of particular interest since Freedom and Mary named their next child Judith when she was born on 22 Jul 1689.

Notes for Mary* Custance: [Master File.ftw]

The identity of Freedom's wife has been the subject of much discussion and some considerable confusion. Her identity as a Curtis is without foundation in any record and should be disregarded. The original Burlington Monthly Meeting Book of Births, Deaths and Marriages gives her name as Mary Custin. The Burlington Monthly Minute Book which is a fair copy of the records in the aforementioned book transcribes her name as Mary Customs. Subsequent research indicates that her name was Mary Custance, but since it is difficult to know how 17th Century orthography and pronunciation rendered that name, Custin may very well be a faithful approximation.

Mary(Custance)Lippincott was related to the Olive and Woolston families who settled in Burlington Co. through her mother. Her maternal grandfather Thomas Nottingham, a yeoman of Wellingborough,Northamptonshire,England, married Mary Hills on 24 Apr 1624. They had at least twelve children, one of whom was Mary's mother Ann. Ann's sister, Susanna marr. William Woolston and her sister, Judith marr. Thomas Olive.

Thomas Olive's will written 8 Nov 1692 at his home in Willingborough, BurlCo., NJ, corroborates the Woolston and Lippincott relationship. He specifically left the children of Freedom 'Lippingcot' the sum of five pounds to be equally divided amongst them and to be paid when they shall come to the age of eighteen years.

Notes for William* Potter: [Master File.ftw]

William POTTER arrived at Boston aboard the "Abigail" from London in July of 1635. Traveling with William were his wife, Frances CHILDS?, and his 20 week old son Joseph.

William's Mother (Hannah POTTER BEECHER), step-father (John BEECHER), and brother (John POTTER) followed William to America two years later. They were part of the company that arrived aboard the "Hector" that included the very prominent Puritans Rev. John DAVENPORT and Theophilus EATON. The party had intended to settle within the Massachusetts Colony, but upon their arrival, decided to found a new colony elsewhere because of what they perceived to be a tainted religious climate in Boston. The families made arrangements for temporary housing in Boston while a site was being selected. The BEECHERS and John POTTER probably moved in with William and his family during this period.

Shortly before the arrival of the "Hector", an army from the Massachusetts Colony had raided and slaughtered the Pequot Indians at their village of Quinnipiac on Long Island. The returning soldiers told stories of an abundant land and a favorable harbor. Hearing the glowing reports, Rev. DAVENPORT dispatched Rev. EATON with a party to explore the area. The party included John BEECHER, William's step-father. They arrived in the Quinnipiac area in early autumn and found it quite suitable for the establishment of a colony. Fearing the approach of winter, however, EATON thought it prudent to delay attempting the establishment until the following spring. He decided to leave seven men to winter at Quinnipiac, further explore the area, and to prepare for the arrival of the main colony. John BEECHER was one of the seven men left behind. He died sometime during that winter and was buried in an unmarked grave. The colony that became established the following spring was New Haven Colony. John BEECHER'S remains were discovered some years later while digging a cellar.

William POTTER, his family, Hannah (his mother), John POTTER, and Isaac BEECHER (John BEECHER'S son) all removed from Boston to New Haven. They may have went with the original settlers in that spring of 1638 but that cannot be established. They were definitely there by 1639, however, because both William and John POTTER signed the New Haven Agreement in a general town meeting that year.

Early New Haven records indicate that William's life was a 'good news - bad news' scenario. On the one hand his seating assignments in the church indicate that he progressed in the standing. On the other hand he was frequently fined for offenses ranging from absence at military training, improper care of arms, to failure to submit a timely inventory for taxation.

In 1659 Hannah POTTER BEECHER died and appointed William executor of her will. She left 2/3 of her estate to William and 1/3 to Isaac BEECHER. She requested that William 'be as a father to his younger brother and his children.'

William died between May, 1662, and March following , in New Haven. His estate was valued at over 190 English pounds, as shown by the inventory taken August 2, 1662. The family home was on the west side of Quinipiac River near the present Cedar Hill station.

The descendants of this early American include the names of many who have distinguished themselves as scholars, as ministers and in other professions. We omit any reference to incidents in connection with the close of his life for the reason that he appears to have been the victim of a mental disorder rather than an enemy of society.

Excerpt from "Potter Profiles" vol.22, p.29-31: "Father, Farmer, Churchman, Sinner" by Barbara W. Pitcher, reprinted with permission of the Colorado Genealogical Society, Inc. Copyright 1988" ... According to RECORDS OF THE COLONY OR JURISDICTION OF NEW HAVEN, FROM MAY, 1653, TO THE UNION (Charles Hoadly, State Librarian, Hartford 1858, p.440-443) "William Potter was called before ye court to answr to wt charge or accusation as they vnderstand from examination is layd against him, viz: that he hath committed ye sin of bestiality wth sundrie creatures. ... he confessed more pticularly, the first time he sd was

59 in Old England, at prentise, wn he was about eleuen yeare old ... he acted with a cow which is now gone ... & he acted this wickedness wth two sowes ... also a yeareling heifer ... ye sentence of ye court, to be executed vpon him, viz: that he be hanged on a gallowes till he be dead, & then cut downe & buried, & the creatures with whom he hath thus sinfully acted to be put to death before his eyes." ... William had made his will on May 19, 1662, a week before the trial. And so it was on June 6, 1662 that the town paid Thomas Wheadon to hang his former friend, William Potter.

William did not witness his daughter Hope's wedding to Daniel Robins(on)on 26 May 1663 or 10 Feb 1663 (notes do not agree, but I suspect that thewedding was in May and the events below were in February)

Every amateur genealogist has in the back of his or her mind that someday an ancestral skeleton will appear, perhaps the legendary "horse thief". For those who are descendants of William Potter, the skeleton has appeared, but he did not steal the horses.

The facts are largely outlined and discussed in an excellent article by Joanne Ruth Walroth, entitled "Beyond Legal Remedy: Divorce in Seventeenth-Century Woodbridge, New Jersey" appearing in New Jersey History, Vol. 105, Fall/Winter 1987, beginning on page 1. While the article concerns an action for divorce and permission to remarry brought by his granddaughter, Rebecca Adams Seatown, daughter of William's daughter Rebecca and her husband, Thomas Adams, the article shows the background in her life, including the remarkable "problem" encountered by William Potter, which resulted in his being hanged until dead on June 6, 1662.

The charge was "that he hath committed ye sin of bestiality with sundrie creatures". We will leave the details, quoted from the court records, to Ms. Walroth's article. Suffice to say that from his confessed "first episode" at age eleven, when he was an apprentice in England, to later in New England, "his lust followed him, though he thought he should have got power against it". "Several episodes followed, first with a bitch, then with two sows, then a yearling heifer, a two-year-old calf, a cow, three sheep, and an old mare. One of his sons had discovered him, apparently while in the act, but Potter had himself told his wife about the episodes with the sheep and tried to excuse himself. The court was particularly harsh with him because the 'sin' had continued since childhood, and he was now an old man." [Note: it is interesting to see that a modern day article on the subject, written in 1987, puts the word "sin" in quotation marks, as if that were some quaint 17th century idea].

One wonders about some of the legal aspects of the trial. Potter was convicted on the principal testimony of his wife and one of his sons. While his son apparently had been an eye witness to one of the events, his wife's testimony resulted from what Potter had "confided in her". And his confession, in detail, was undoubtedly the controlling factor. But had it been coerced? Had he been read his rights? Where were the "experts" to testify that he was sick, not criminal, or that it was all the fault of the animals, or that something his father had done was responsible for his behavior. Where were Kunsler and Shapiro when he needed them?

One also wonders about the media event of this trial. The charge being a capital offense, resulted in the New Haven General Court

60 hearing the matter. No less a personage than Gov. William Leete conducted the trial himself. Were there demonstrators outside the court? Perhaps the advocates of capital punishment joined with the animal rights groups to call for his execution? As Ms. Walroth points out [N.J.History 105:14] there were people who reacted unfavorably to the death penalty. "William Bassett and his wife were fined forty shillings for `speakeing to the reproach' of Thomas Wheadon, who had carried out William Potter's execution."

Ms. Walroth also covers some aspects of dispute over the estate after Potter's death, which showed lack of family harmony, and points out that "although each of the six Potter children would eventually marry and raise a large family, none of them named a child either William or Frances. In an age when it was customary for a couple to name children for both maternal and paternal grandparents, it is surely evidence of deep levels of stress within the family that not one of the Potter children used these names."

See that article in full, particularly for the sources she cites in her documentation.

See also "Early Settlers of Watertown, Mass." by Bond, page 910, referencing "July 1, 1635, William Potter, husbandman, aged 27, Frances Potter, uxor, aged 26, and Joseph Potter, aged 20 months, embarked for New England, in the Abigail, &c. . . . William Potter was one of the signers of the original agreement entered into by the first settlers of New Haven. [See Hinman's Catalogue, 2d ed., p. 76.]"

Not surprisingly, this situation did not escape the eye or pen of Mather. See Mather's Magnalia VI, 38, Art. 3 of Appendix of Thaumaturgus.

Katherine Hyde, born October 27, 1608 in Manchester, Lancashire, England; died October 15, 1682 in Newport, RI.

Notes for Rev. Obadiah* Holmes: [Master File.ftw]

Obadiah Holmes was born in Northern England around the year 1607. His birthplace lay in the rural area of Reddish, five miles southeast of the center of Manchester. He was the second son of Robert Holmes and Catherine Johnson Holmes (the family name was at the time more commonly spelled Hulmes or Hullme.) Baptized in Didsbury Chapel on March 18, 1610, he grew up in a farm family of eight or nine children. Since Obadiah later became a glassmaker and a weaver, it may well be that "bookish" interest was minimal in his early years. He relates that he had been neglectful and strayed from his religious duties and responsibilities for a period

61 of five years. If this was the case, he certainly atoned for it later in his life. His mother's illness and death proved a turning point. "It struck me that my disobedient acts caused her death, which forced me to confess the same to her - my evil ways." Two months after his mother's death, he took Catherine Hyde as his wife. They were married in Manchester's Collegiate College Church on 20 Nov 1630.

The decade of the 1630's so disheartened England's Puritans that they left their homeland in shipload after shipload to create a newer and purer England far away. These were the years of the Great Migration and Obadiah Holmes also "adventured the danger of the seas to come to New England." Holmes and his wife probably sailed from Preston (just north of Liverpool), down the River Ribble, across the Irish Sea, and into the open Atlantic. They had an extremely stormy voyage that prevented them from entering Boston harbor until six weeks had passed. Soon after landing at Boston in the summer or early fall of 1638, they made their way up the coast and settled at Salem, Massachusetts.

By January, 1639, they were in Salem; on the twenty-first of that month Holmes received one acre of land for a house and a promise of ten more acres "to be laid out by the town." The young Salem settlement encouraged Holmes and his co-workers in the development of what may have been the first glass factory in North America. They made the common window glass. Holmes performed other duties befitting a good citizen and often served on juries during his years of residence at Salem.

In March 1640, Obadiah and Catherine became members of the Salem church. Obadiah soon found himself disliking the rigidity of the established church. Nor was it his inclination to keep silent in the midst of religious discussions. He soon decided the church and civil laws could not be tolerated any longer. Obadiah's decision to move was probably more influenced by the fact that the church and civil authorities would not tolerate him. Before Oct of 1643, Obadiah had taken an option in the newly created community of Rehoboth 40 miles south of Boston. He sold his holdings in Salem by 1645, removing himself and his family to Rehoboth the same year. There he was elevated to the status of freeman in 1648. Both Obadiah and Catherine participated in this church's public worship, presided over by Samuel Newman. Obadiah soon found that he had not removed beyond religious and other controversies when making his second settlement in the new country. It took three years for the membership of the Rehoboth church to become divided on doctrinal and legal lines and become aligned behind the minister and Obadiah as the respective leaders. Obadiah's conversion to the distinctive views of the Baptists was developed here. Baptized with the "new baptism" along with 8 others, Obadiah took the irrevocable step toward separation from New England's official way and he became the leader of the Schismatists.

The climax must have come to a head in 1649 for that is the year on October 29 that Obadiah entered suit for slander against Samuel Newman, the minister. The slanderous suit stated that Obadiah had committed perjury in some court proceeding. On the 2nd day of Oct 1650, he, with others of Rehoboth, were indicted by the Grand Jury at New Plymouth for holding meetings on the Lord's day from house to house, "contrary to the order of the court". The burden of the petition was that the dissident group (Holmes and 8 others) had set up a separate and irregular church meeting in opposition to the orderly, approved, and established congregation led by Rev. Samuel Newman. All such schismatical activity, the petitioners urged, should cease forthwith. The court responded mildly enough, by ordering the group (in Holmes' words) "to desist, and neither to ordain officers, nor to baptize, nor to break bread together, nor yet to meet upon the first day of the week..." Holmes and his followers would not find peace in Plymouth nor in Massachusetts Bay, so once more he sold his house and lands and moved to Newport, Rhode Island, hoping that he had left behind for good the meddling civil magistrates, the condescending clergy, the intrusive and insolent laws.

On July 16, 1651, John Clarke, John Crandall and Obadiah Holmes journeyed from Newport into MA, coming to the town of Lynn on the 19th of that month. The purpose of the visit was to bring spiritual comfort and communion to one William Witter, a blind and aged fellow Baptist who had invited the three to come to his house. The broader purpose was, of course, an evangelical one: to tell of the new baptism and its import to all who would hear. And indeed the word was proclaimed, converts were baptized, the elements of the Lord's Supper were served - all of this done privately in William Witter's home.

On Sunday, July 20, two constables entered the house. "With their clamorous tongues" they interrupted Clarke's discourse, "telling us that they were come with authority from the Magistrates to apprehend us." Clarke asked to see the authority for so rude an intrusion, "whereupon they plucked forth their warrant, and one of them with a trembling hand read it to us." The three Rhode Islanders were placed under arrest and taken to the local "Ale- house or Ordinary", Anchor Tavern, to be fed and to await their scheduled appearance before the local magistrate, Robert Bridges, early the next morning.

62 One of the constables suggested to the 3 prisoners that if they were free, then all might go together to the Lynn church for evening services. Clarke replied (humor presumably intended) that if they were free, none of this awkwardness would have happened. Yet, he said, we are at your disposal and if you want us to go to church we will go to church. Off they went, but on the way Clarke informed the constable that if forced to attend "your meeting, we shall declare our dissent from you both by word and gesture." Believing this to be a problem for sacred officers, not civil ones, the constable held his peace. Upon entering the church, where services were already underway, the three visitors took off their hats, "civilly saluted", sat down, and put their hats back on again. This action was more than rude; the replacing of hats was an open declaration of disapproval of whatever was being said or done. The constable quickly snatched three hats from three irreverent heads and afterwards, the three were returned to the tavern where they were "watched over that night as thieves and robbers." In the morning, after a brief appearance before Robert Bridges in Lynn, the itinerant evangelists were sent to Boston for trial.

They were committed to the common jail. The mittimus, or court order for commitment to prison, indicated essentially four complaints against the "strangers". They had offended by (a) conducting a private worship service at the same time as the town's public worship; (b) "offensively disturbing" the public meeting in Lynn; (c) more seriously, "seducing and drawing aside others after their erroneous judgment and practices"; and (d) "neglecting or refusing to give in sufficient security for their appearance" at the next meeting of the county court.

The trial before the General Court began one week later. The trial itself was so swiftly consummated that the accused hardly knew it was done. We were examined in the morning, wrote Clarke, and sentenced in the afternoon - sentenced "without producing either accuser, witness, jury, law of God or man..." It was the assumption of Governor Endicott and his assistants of the guilt of the accused and cut off any defense when Holmes and Clarke tried to speak. The members of the court shot questions at them, or made statements to them, which showed their guilt prejudged. The violence of some of the bystanders, in the presence of the court, and without its rebuke, went so far that Holmes was assaulted, struck, and cursed by Rev. John Wilson. This happened while Holmes was in the custody of an officer, in the presence of the court, and within the protection of the law.

The penalty which the law provided was banishment. But what sort of punishment is it to "banish" persons who already live in another jurisdiction? Obviously, some other manner of rebuke had to be meted out, whether the law made provision for it or not. Clarke, clearly the spokesman and leader of the group, was fined £20; Crandall, as a tag-along and largely silent companion, was fined only £5. But Obadiah Holmes, already under the cloud of excommunication from the church in Rehoboth, received the largest fine of £30. All the fines provided for a hard alternative: to be paid in full or else the culprit was to be "well whipped". Until the fines were paid or satisfaction otherwise received, all three were to remain in jail.

They were not without friends and sympathizers, however. The friends of Clarke and Crandall speedily raised the amounts of their fines and paid them. The fine of Holmes was higher and required a little more time to raise the amount, but his friends were ready to pay it. When he learned what they were proposing to do, he promptly forbade the payment of the fine, making it a matter of his conscience and scruples.

After another week, Clarke was released when friends paid his fine. John Crandall put up bail and went home. So only Holmes remained in prison, adamantly refusing to pay his fine or to let others pay it for him. The court's explicit alternative awaited him - to be "well-whipped". The 5th day of Sep 1651 came and he was taken from the jail, stripped naked down to the waist - he refused to aid by touching even a button of his clothing - tied to the post and publicly whipped.

There were thirty strokes, with a three-cord whip, held by the executioner, not in one hand, but in both hands. The strokes did not follow each other quickly or lightly. They were laid on slowly and with all the strength of the officer wielding the instrument of torture. Throughout, there was not a groan or murmur from the victim. The first sound from his lips were the words to the magistrates, who stood about as witnesses, "You have struck me as with roses."

After his release from jail, Holmes returned to Newport and in 1652 succeeded Dr. John Clarke. He became the second minister of the first Baptist Church in America. The church at Newport was his permanent charge for more than thirty years until his death on October 15, 1682.

Reference to his will is found in a list of seventeen wills (between 1676 and 1695) that were presented to the court

63 in 1700, by parties interested, the law requiring three witnesses, and these wills having but two. He was buried in his own field, where a tomb was erected to his memory (in what is now the town of Middletown). His wife did not long survive him.

Notes for Ralph* Wallen: Ralph and Joyce Wallen arrived at Plimouth Colony aboard the ship "Anne" in 1623. They were on the third ship of Pilgrims arriving at Plimouth. The "Mayflower" in 1620 and the "Fortune" in 1621 preceeded them. The arrival of the "Anne" and her sister ship, the "Little James" brought the total number of colonists to about 200. Ann, the first child of Ralph and Joyce Wallen, was born shortly after their arrival. Ann married John Smalley, a tailor. The Smalleys moved to Eastham then to Little Compton, RI, then later to Piscataway, New Jersey. Thomas and Richard, sons of Ralph and Joyce Wallen, moved to Providence, Rhode Island. In 1627, a division of land and assets in Plimouth was made. Ralph and Joyce Wallen were assigned to the thirteen member Francis Eaton company. Their group was given "an heyfer of the last yeare called the white belyed heyfer and two shee goats." The documents were signed by Governor William Bradford, Edward Winslow, Nathaniel Morton, Nathaniel Clarke and Samuel Sprague. In 1633 the freemen of the Colony were listed and Ralph Wallen was on the list. He was on the Plimouth Colony tax list for 1632/33. In 1633/34 the name "widow Wallen" replaced her husband's on

65 the tax list. Joyce Wallen continued to live in Plimouth until she sold her land on September 7, 1643. The will of Nicholas Snow who had come to Plimouth on the "Anne" with the Wallens gives the names of his neighbors: Ralph Wallen, Thomas Clarke, Manessah Kempton, Edward Bangs and the Hopkins family. The will of Dr. Samuel Fuller on July 30, 1633 directs that "my daughter Mercy be and remaine to Goodwife Wallen". "Goodwife" was a term used for a single female head of a household.

BIOGRAPHY: COMMENTS: The evidence for identifying the widow Joyce Wallen as the third wife of Thomas Lumbard is presented by Eleanor Cooley Rue in "Widow Joyce Wallen of Plymouth (1645) and Widow Joyce Lombard of Barnstable (1664): One and the Same?" [TAG 67:47-53]. This article includes a detailed and comprehensive discussion of Ralph Wallen's land holdings and transactions

Children of Ralph* Wallen and Joyce are: 316 i. Thomas* Walling, born 1630 in Plymouth Colony, Mass.; died July 1674 in Providence, Rhode Island; married Mary Abbott January 22, 1650/51 in Providence, Rhode Island. ii. Jeanne* Wollen, born in England; died 1690 in Wallingford,CT; married John* Hall II; born August 1605 in St. Mary's Whitechapel,England; died 1694 in Middletown,CT.

Notes for Jeanne* Wollen: It is said that she was educated and of good descent, and was entitledto 'bear a crest', which was a "demi- lion, between its paws a cushion,tasselled', in one genealogy.

Her brother, John, was said to be an Indian trader and interpreter inthe employ of Captain George Lamberton. He and Lamberton wereimprisoned for a time by the Swedes in Delaware Bay but no more isknown of this. The exact relationship between another Wollen family(Ralph and Joyce) is not clear, but they came over on the 'Anne' in1623, which places them in close proximity with Jane. They could beher parents. 66 Jane was widowed by John in 1676. Three years later she married JohnCooper, Sr., of New Haven, and moved back there with him. He diedbefore her, too, and she inherited 1/3 of his lands and all hispersonal belongings. In January on the 21st, 1680, she gave her houseand home lot in Wallingford to her son, David Hall. It had about 6ac. bounded by Daniel Hooper's home lot on the north side, and bystreets on the other sides. Another record states she died in 1678but her second husband came after that, so probably is incorrect.Another supposed date would be 1690, which was chosen for the recordhere..

Jeanne Woollen came to America in the company of William Wilkes, arelative of hers, who arrived in Boston in 1633, and in 1639, he andhis wife Joan moved to New Haven in the company of Governor Eaton.Mr. Wilkes paid her fare across the ocean, she lived in his family,and he promised 10 lbs. to her upon her marriage. Her husband, JohnHall, had to go to court to collect this money; it appeared on therecords many times. They finally ruled in favor of Jeanne in Augustof 1648.

Mr. Wilkes went back to England in disgust over the defeat in court in1644, intending to return, but instead sent for his wife to join him.She did so, but the ship that sailed from New Haven in Jan of 1647 waslost at sea. This was a freighter which took items for sale toEngland, and passengers. The ship was not seaworthy and, having tocut through ice to get into the sea, it was not a good time to sail.It was then called the Phantom ship because it's apparition was seenthe following June in the sky, being blown to pieces.

Notes for John* Hall II: There were several Halls who came over to New England from England in the 1630s. The directory of New England Ancestral Heads of Families, there were 11 John Halls listed as coming over between 1620 and 1700. The John Hall who is our immigrant ancestor has been frequently confused in 19th century genealogies with John Hall (1584) of Middletown, CT. John of Middletown went to Hartford, CT, shortly after our John (1605) went there, but he stayed for a longer period. Research went through the Shephard and Jacobus papers, both genealogists of note, to come up with this information. It only makes sense that they were father and son.

Our John is most often referred to as "John Hall of New Haven and Wallingford", born about 1605. He may have come from St. Mary, Whitechapel, London, and, if so, he would likely be connected to theJohn (1584) who wound up in Middletown, CT. Many people separate these two Johns. When he came to Wallingford, CT, he was called John the first. He lived in New Haven, Ct, for over 30 years and then to Wallingford, where he stayed not more than 6-7 years. His signature was written in 1639 on the records of New Haven, CT. Another record states that he came to Boston in 1633, then to New Haven, 1638, and was the original proprietor of Wallingford, CT. in 1669. He was made Deacon in 1674 and selectman of the town, the year before his death.

Quote: 'We have no certain proof of what portion of England John Hall came from, but indications point to Coventry, Warwick. They had many physicians in the family among them, including Dr, Lyman Hall, Dr, Wm. Brenton Hall, Dr. Atheophilus Hall, and others. In the family of Nathan Kelsey Hall there were 4 doctors in a direct line of descent.

John soon saw opportunities in the proposed settlement of New Haven. He joined the New Haven Colony in late 1639. He was one of the signers, after the date of 4 Jun, 1639, of the New Haven Planters covenant and is thus a founder of New Haven. In early 1640 he sold his 2 ac. home lot and his 4 ac. pasture in Hartford to a William Spencer. He received land on Mill River in New Haven on 17 Jan 1641.

About two years later, John met and married, in New Haven, a girl named Jane Wollen . The marriage occurred before 3 Jul 1644 when John went to court to collect a debt of 3 pounds owed to his wife.There is another name floating around, Esther, which dates back to the original date of 1584 birth for John. She may have been another wife who died early (perhaps his mother?). It appears that Jane Wollen is the mother of the children of John. However, the children are born from the year 1616 and after, so the first date of 1615 for themarriage may be for another wife? Is this Esther? And did she die in childbirth early? (Esther was the wife of John the elder from England,bn. 1584.)

Jeanne Wollen and a brother, John, had come from England with the William Wilkes party. Wilkes paid her passage and promised her an allowance and a marriage portion if she would stay with his family for 5 years. She agreed and she was with the Wilkeses when they moved to New Haven. It ended up that Jane could not collect her marriage dowry until her husband John petitioned for it at the settlement of the Wilkes estate in 1647 after Mr. Wilkes returned to England. (This would lend credence to the mariage date of 1643, rather than the older date shown in the summary of John.)

In the old French and Indian wars the Wallingford "train band" took an active part. The 'soulstirring

67 drum and earpiercing fife' that made music for the "trainers" of the seventeenth century were no doubt as attractive to the boys of that day as to those of our times. Theuniforms of the troopers were plain but serviceable, consisting in part of vests quilted with cotton as a protection against Indian arrows. The train band consisted of 64 to 200 men, pike men and musketeers, the former chosen for their size. The musketeers fired from a rest and the weapon used would be thought a ridiculous one in these days. In 1704 we note that Lt. Samuel Hall was promoted to be captain of the train band and soon after, thinking the seat assigned him not consistent with his new dignity, he was given leave to construct a new one for himself nearer the front. In 1716 the town voted that Cpt. Hall, Sr. shall sit in the deacon's seat and Capt.Hall, Jr. sit in the first 'pue'.

Five years after John was released from training, (for the trainbandor military company) he and all of his sons but one became part of the founding of Wallingford, CT. The place chosen for the new town was 13mls. north of New Haven. It was called, originally, Pilgroomes Harbour, and later, New Haven village. Descending to the sea through the scattered settlement of this part of Connecticut was an ancient, much used Indian trail of about 38 miles, connecting New Haven and Hartford.. It is likely that our John made the trip along this trail and back many times , a two day event. The spot chosen for the new village was the ridge of a hill about a mile east of the Quinnipiac River.

A committee formed of several planters of New Haven held the Wallingford land and affairs as trustees until May of 1672. From the first, John's older sons lived full time in Wallingford while the father kept his residence in New Haven. He went back and forth between the settlements until 1674. John Sr. and Jr. were both awarded 'middle rank' at a Wallingford town meeting held on 29 Jul 1672. These were given to apportion lands to each planter or settler. Middle rank was 3/4 as much as the hightest, or 60 ac.

In 1675, Johns Sr. and Jr. were elected by the town to be part of a committee of 13 to manage the formal organization of the first church of the town. Before that there was just intermittent preaching in homes and outdoors, usually in isolated areas all through our country's development. The instructions to the 13 men were as follows:

'That there had been consent about establishing a church of Christ in the aforesaid town, and a solemn day set apart and observed by the town unanimously, to seek God's guidance in so great a work; they have now also actually and unanimously concluded, if it be the will of God, that there shall be a church gathered, and to walk according to the Congregational way.' On 15 Feb 15, 1675, the church was organized at a lawful meeting. The 13 men were: Thomas Yale, Eliasaph Preston, Mr.Moses, Mr. Samuel Street, Nathan Andrews, Mr. Brockett, Nehemiah Royce, John Hall Sr., Lt. Merriam, Sgt. Doolittle, John Hall Jr., JohnBeach, Benj. Lewis.

In the same year this committee was organized there was a 'King Philip's War' which broke out and the whole town turned out to fortify 3 houses with persons appointed to keep garrisons at them. Once in 1690, the meeting house was used by the town as a fort, and in 1702 Wallingford inhabitants brought arms to church on the Lord's Day, justas the classic Pilgrim painting depicts.

In 1665, when he was in his sixtieth year, 'our immigrant John Hallwas released from training for the trainband or military company, that all able-bodied freemen were expected to be a part of. He had a long and respectable sojourn in New Haven. He and Jane had joined the first church in New Haven in 1647 and had had their children baptised there. As a result of a young man's pranks, John, Jr. and a friend were sued for 5 lbs. for the loss of a canoe and grapnell in 1666, and sons Thomas, Jonathan and David went before the court in 1670 for making a 'great noyse' in front of the constable's house 'on ye nightafter ye Sabbath'. They would have been about 17-21 years old.

In 1670 three of his sons, John, Samuel and Thomas, joined the company that settled Wallingford, CT, and the father, John, went along also. His home lot in the new town was on the SE corner of Main and Center streets, opposite the site of the present Congregational church.. To even be accepted to reside in the town meant you had to be a planter and come with a recommendation! The town wanted to 'live in love and fear and enjoy the presence of the God of love and peace amongst us'. (This was done before freedoms were granted after the Revolutionary War). John Hall, Sen, was one who signed this agreement. John Hall Sr,. and Jr. both helped lay the foundation of a church there. In 1675 John Sr. was elected deacon of the church and selectman of the town..one year before his death.

John Hall, our immigrant ancestor, died in the early part of 1676 (another date is given as 20 May 1673) before he could see the first meeting house completed. His will, dated 3 May 1676, and inventory amounted to over 189 lbs, recorded in the New Haven probate records. He was referred to as 'Good Hall'. Samuel Street, Samuel Hall, and Mary Hall, who was an unmarried daughter of "Goodman Hall" were the administrators.

I have put some of this John's history with his son John, Jr. because Jane Wollen is a separate wife. The

68 elder John is listed as having been born in 1584, with an Esther for a wife. Time will tell how to divide these two women.. Some of this history may pertain only to the John, Elder, who was the original emmigrant.

These John Halls resided in an area of New Haven, referred to as Oyster Shell field. John did some farming in his 30 years in New Haven. He owned land and had sons to work it. It is assumed that he continued his trading with the Indians, what he began on his first expeditions.

In July, 1644 John took the oath of allegiance at the General Court of New Haven. He is on the records again, in 1648, when he was complained of for absence from the general court of New Haven. His answer was, "had no warning and went out in the morning before thedrum beate and knew of no court".

John applied for some meadowland "at the Pine River" at a meeting of New Haven Townsmen in 1651. In 1664 and 1665 he is listed in the New Haven records as a viewer of fences, a maintenance duty rotated amongthe responsible citizens of colonial towns.

At his death (this history states 1694 as year of death) there were two sons-in-law, Henry Cook and William Johnson. These two were married to the girls, no doubt, and they came in for some of the loot in John's will. His family was highly respected and were known as the Halls of Middletown, CT. Some of the Wallingford Halls came to that place later on. The history says they were descended from 'Deacon John Hall' who was town clerk and recorder of that city at his death in 1694. His epitaph in the old Middletown cemetery recites his virtues as follows:

Here lyes our Deacon Hall, who studied peace with all, Was upright in his life, void of malignant strife Gone to his rest, left us in sorrow Doubtless his good works will him follow.

John Hall, our emmigrant ancestor, had many illustrious people descended from him. One is Lyman Hall, whom we still must link. Another is through John's son, Thomas, through Jennie Jerome, an American mother and a Winchill, which union produced Winston Spencer Churchill, the greatest prime minister that England ever had. Heparticipated as a soldier in the Pequot Indian War in 1637. It is said that he was one of the original settlers of Hartford in 1636.

Daniel Abbott came to America in 1630 aboard one of the eleven ships in the Winthrop Fleet, made up of the Arabella, Ambrose, Jewel, Talbot, Charles, Mayflower, William & Francis, Hopewell, Whale, Success and Trial. The fleet departed from London on 8 Apr. 1630 and arrived in Charleston and Salem harbors in Massachusetts between 26 May 1630 and 10 June 1630. Daniel was most probably not married when he left England. He was appointed Juror on 18 Sep. 1630 and Freeman on 18 May 1631 in Cambridge, MA. On 4 June 1639, Daniel and his family left Cambridge for residence in New Providence, RI. Daniel probably did not re-marry following the death of wife Mary

Child of Daniel* Abbott and Mary? is: 317 i. Mary Abbott, born Abt. 1630 in Providence, Rhode Island; died 1669 in Providence, Rhode Island; married Thomas* Walling January 22, 1650/51 in Providence, Rhode Island.

636. Robert* Elwell, born in Stoke Abbott Parish, Dorset County, England; died Abt. May 18, 1683 in Gloucester, Massachusetts. He married 637. Joane. 637. Joane, died March 31, 1675 in Dorchester, Massachusetts.

Notes for Robert* Elwell:

69 [Master File.ftw]

[ruth robbins.FTW]

According to "English Emigrants to New England, 1620-1650", Robert Elwell was born in Stoke Abbott Parish, Dorset Co., England. The identities of his parents have yet to be established. From"Complete Book of Emigrants", by Peter W. Coldham, Robert Elwell was a planter and one of several carrying household goods, clothing and provisions for themselves, their wives, children and servants (valued at 900 pounds) and allowed to pass free of customs, to be shipped on the ship "Recovery" of London sailing from Weymouth, England to New England (America) on 31 Mar. 1633. Robert then settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the town of Dorchester. In the Dorchester town records on 1 Sep. 1634, the following is recorded: "It is ordered that the Lott which was graunted formerly to John Rocket shall be transferred to Robert Elway (Elwell)." On a map of Dorchester town lots, it is shown that lot #49 was marked for J. Rocket and # 74 (3 acres) for R. Elwell. Other references to Robert Elwell are made in the Dorchester town records through 8 June 1640.

Robert Elwell was married to Joane ? about 1635 and probably in Dorchester, although no record of this marriage has yet been found. Robert became a Freeman in Dorchester on 13 May 1640. He apparently sold his property in Dorchester on 8 June 1640 and moved to Salem, MA. According to the available records, it is quite likely that Robert Elwell owned property in both Salem and nearby Gloucester. In Apr. 1642, he bought from Mr. Milward "two acres of upland lying in the harbor, between the lots of John Collins and Zebulon Hill, running from his house northerly over the next swamp." Robert Elwell became a Selectman in Gloucester in 1648 and was appointed by the General Court of Gloucester in 1651 as one of two "commissioners to end small causes", and he did considerable business in this judicial position. Also, in 1651, he was granted land at Rock Neck, MA. Robert was a member of a committee to erect a new meeting house in Gloucester in 1664. Following his wife Joane's death on 31 Mar. 1675 (probably in Gloucester), Robert married Alice Leach, widow of Robert Leach, on 29 May 1676. Robert Elwell's will was dated 15 May 1683 and was proved on 30 June 1691. Robert's second wife Alice died on 10 Apr. 1691.

Child of Robert* Elwell and Joane is: 318 i. Thomas* Elwell, born November 12, 1654 in Gloucester, Massachusetts; died Abt. May 1706 in Pile's Grove Precinct, New Jersey; married Sarah Bassett.

638. William* Bassett, born Bef. May 30, 1624 in Dorking, Surrey County, England; died March 31, 1703 in Lynn, Massachusetts. He was the son of 1276. Roger* Bassett and 1277. Ann* Holland. He married 639. Sarah Burt. 639. Sarah Burt, born Abt. 1624 in Surrey County, England. She was the daughter of 1278. Hugh* Burt and 1279. Ursellah.

Notes for William* Bassett: [Master File.ftw]

[ruth robbins.FTW]

The following information on William Bassett and his family has been extracted primarily from "Salem Co., NJ Historical Society Publication", (Vol. 3, No. 1) form "The Bassett Family", by Catherine Soleman Chandler, Downers Grove, IL, July 1964. In her introduction, Mrs. Chandler acknowledges that another William Bassett (often confused with this family) came to New England in 1621 on the ship "Fortune", who was twice married and originally from Bethnal Green, Middlesex. He had spent 10 years with the Pilgrims in Leyden, Holland prior to coming to America and died in 1667

Our William Bassett was apparently the only child born to Roger Bassett and Ann Holland, being baptized on 30 May 1624 at St. Martin's Church, Dorking, Surrey Co., England. At the age of about three, his father died and his mother married Hugh Burt, sometime after 3 Oct. 1628 when Hugh's first wife Ursullah was buried. Hugh Burt (35), Ann Burt (32), William Bassett (9) and Edward Burt (8) were registered as passengers on the log of the ship "Abigail" on 17 June 1635 and Hugh Burt, Jr. (15) was registered on 1 July 1635 by Robert Blackwell,

70 Shipmaster. Other researchers have concluded that the ages given on the log were probably off by a few years since Hugh Burt, Sr. (according to later Salem Court records) should have been about 44 years old at the time.

Upon arrival in America, the family first settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but apparently soon thereafter moved to Lynn, MA where Hugh Burt, Sr. was one of the original inhabitants who were given land there in 1638.

It has become generally accepted that William Bassett's wife was Sarah Burt, daughter of Hugh Burt, Sr. by his first wife Ursullah. This is corroborated by all early histories of Massachusetts, although no record of her birth or proof of this relationship has yet been found. It is believed that she was born in England, although no baptismal or ship passenger records have been located. Particularly puzzling is why she was not shown on the log of the ship "Abigail" with her father in 1635. In any event, William and Sarah were married about 1646 and probably in Lynn, MA, although it could have occurred elsewhere since no one at that time was qualified to perform marriages in Lynn. They lived on Nahant Street in Lynn and this property was still owned by Bassett descendants when the "History of Lynn, Mass.", by Lewis and Newhall was published in 1865.

During the Indian Wars, William Bassett was an ensign in Capt. Gardner's company from nearby Salem, MA. William was later promoted to Captain. For his service in this capacity, he was awarded by the General Court, a grant of 3 acres and 128 poles of land. In Lynn and Essex County records, William Bassett was referred to as "Quartermaster". He served many times on trial juries in the Quarterly Court, was a Constable and Selectman (or Prudential man) in Lynn (along with Thomas Leighton, Richard Walker, Andrew Mansfield, Nathaniel Kertland, John Burrill and Ralph King), and was among those citizens who signed for the purchase of land from the Indians in 1686. In 1689, William was a member of the Council of War along with Major Benjamin Church of Scarborough, Maine. All Of William and Sarah's children were born in Lynn and were living at the time William made his will on 10 Feb. 1701/02.

The fear and hysteria of witchcraft which began in England, gripped New England and culminated in the infamous Salem Witch Trials in 1692, had been a sinister undercurrent for many years among the inhabitants of Salem. In 1669, a complaint against Widow Burt for witchcraft was made in Salem Court. It is reasonably certain that this was widow Ann Burt, mother of William Bassett, Sr. The younger Hugh Burt, Jr. would have been about 49 at this time (had he lived) and his wife would have probably been about the same age. The terms "auld wich" and "ols goody Burt" would likely have applied more aptly to Ann. In any event, the ridiculous charges (documented in the Quarterly Court Records of Salem, 30 Nov. 1669) offer an interesting sidelight to the life and superstitions of this period. Some of the charges have been excerpted below:

"Bethiah Carter, aged 23 years, deposed that she heard Sarah Towsan say when she was a maid & lived with Goodwife Burt that the latter told the said Sarah if she could believe in her God she would cure her body and soul, but Goodwife Burt said she could not cure her own husband because he would not believe in her God, but her maid did and was cured. Since then the said Sarah has been sorely afflicted with sad fits 'Crying out and Rayling agaynst me sayin My father carryed me to boston but Carryed her to Lin too an auld wich'. Sarah told her further that she had seen the said Burt appear often at her bed's feet in the day and night."

"Phillip Reade, Physician, aged about 45 years, deposed that he had been sent for several times to see Sara Townsan and her sister Carter, both being very ill. 'Sd Sara townsend being in a more sadder Condiccion he had noe oppertunyty to Examine her Condiccion but did playnly perceive there was no Naturall caus for such unnatural fits but being sent for the 4th time and finding her in a meat Capassity to Give information of her agreunac and Caus of her former fits she tould me the abovesd Burt had afflickted her and if ever she did Relate it to anyone she would afflict her wors one however after had a sadder fit than evar sha had afore: then I askt her who afflict her Now abd what the matter was she Replide with a great scrich she had tould me already and she did Now Suffer for it.' "

"John Knight, aged about 47 years, deposed that he 'was goinge to fetch some things for his wife and he saw old goody burt coming out of the swamp and shee was in her smok sleeves and a blake hancacher and black cap on her head and hee looked upp and suddenly shee was gone out of sight and I looked aboute and could not see her, when I came into the house I found her in the same habit as I saw her and he said unto her did I not see you in the swamp even now and she said noe I was in the house and he tould her she was a light headed woman.' "

"Maddelene Pearson, aged about 50 years, deposed that she heard Sarah Pearson say when her father had her down to Goodwife Burts to be cured of her sore that the first night she was there the said Burt put her to bed..... Burt said 'Sarah will you smokit and giving of the pipe she smokit', and Sarah fell into fits again and said

71 Goodwife Burt brought the devil to torment her."

Apparently no action was taken against Widow Burt as a result of these charges. However, some of William and Sarah Bassett's children were not so lucky. Their oldest son William, Jr.' wife Sarah Hood was tried at Salem on 23 May 1692 and was sentenced to Boston prison where she was kept until 3 Dec. 1692. Her daughter named Deliverance was born while she was being held in prison. She later received 9 pounds as compensation for her false imprisonment for witchcraft. Their daughter Elizabeth's first husband John Proctor was hanged for wizardry during the Salem Trials on 19 Aug. 1692, based on the testimony of Mary Warren, a servant in their household. Elizabeth was also found guilty of witchcraft, but was given a reprieve "on account of her peculiar circumstances" or until her child John Proctor, Jr. could be born. She was eventually given restitution for her prison stay of 150 pounds in 1703. John and Elizabeth Proctor were the central characters in Arthur Miller's play (and subsequent movie) "The Crucible" and are also described in the book "The Devil in Massachusetts", by Marion Starkey, written in 1949. William and Sarah's daughter Mary was also accused of witchcraft and was sent to prison in Boston on23 May 1692. At the time of her imprisonment, she was a widow and was given 9 pounds as compensation for her prison stay.

It is unclear as to when the Bassetts became Quakers, but it was probably not during the lifetime of William, Sr. At Lynn, on the 22 Apr. 1703, "Whereas, we, the people called Quakers, of the town of Lynn, having been requested by the governor to give a list of our name - in answer thereunto each person hath respectively signed himselfe - Richard Estes, Samuel Collins, William Bassett, Walter Phillips, Richard Oake, Joseph Richards, John Hood, Samuel Breed, Hugh Alley, William Bassett, Jr., John Bassett, John Collins, Jabez Jenkins, Walter Phillips, Jr., Isaac Clark, Samuel Collins, Jr. and John Estes." William Bassett, Sr. had died when this was signed so that the Bassetts signing were probably his sons William, Jr. and John Bassett and William, Jr.'s son William Bassett, III.

William Bassett, Sr. died in Lynn, MA on 31 Mar. 1703 and his will was proved and allowed on 22 May 1703. It is not known when or where wife Sarah died. The will of William Bassett is given below:

"In the name of God Everlasting Amen: I William Bassett Senr. of Lyn in ye County of Esex in Newengland being of good & perfect memory & Rationally Disposed And having attained to ye years of a good old age & being very sensable of ye decay of nature & ye many Distempers & Infirmities that do attend my outward man not knowing how soone my great & last chang may come have therefore taken this opportunity to settle ye affaires of my family & so leave this as my last will and testament.

Edward BRADWAY, died 1696, was married in England, to Mary GODFRY, died 1696. They had the following children:

Mary BRADWAY, who married, first, in 1682, William COOPER, born 26 Nov 1660 in Coltshill, Stafford Co., England, died 1691; and married, second, in 1692, William KENTON, died 1694. Susannah BRADWAY. William BRADWAY, died 1710, who married 26 Sep 1687, at Salem Friends Meeting, Salem, Salem Co., NJ, Elizabeth WOOD, born 1669. Sarah BRADWAY, born 1677, died 1714, who married in 1694, William HALL. Hannah Bradway, born 1681. Information from Biographical History of the First Congressional District of New Jersey. - Edward Bradway, living in the parish of St. Paul, Shadwell, in London, transported himself, with his wife Mary and two children, Mary and Susanna Bradway and their three servants, - that is to say, William Groome, Francis Buckell and John Alim, - in the third month in the year, according to the English account, 1677 into America, on board ship Kent, Gregory Marloe master, who all arrived in the province of West New Jersey the seventh month following, and so to the place New Salem, where they did inhabit, and had the following children: Mary, Susanna (William not mentioned as coming with the family), Sarah (born in the 27th of the seventh month, 1677), and Hannah, born the 14th of the seventh month, 1681. As the Kent was leaving the Thames, King Charles the 2d. on his pleasure barge, came along side and asked whither they were going, and on being told they were Quakers going to America he gave them his blessing. Before coming to this country Edward Bradway purchased one thousand acres of land and a town lot of Fenwick, said lot containing sixteen acres, commencing near the public wharf at the creek and running up the street a certain distance, and from the line of said street a northerly course to Fenwick creek. (See deed bearing date of June 6, 1680, Salem Surveys, book 5, page 311, Trenton, N.J.) In the year 1691 Edward Bradway built on his town lot a large brick house. (It was gutted by fire and restored about 1875 - and torn down about 1965,) for size and appearance surpassing any house built prior to that date, and for many years afterward in Salem. The governor of this state resided in this house some time after the death of Edward Bradway; hence it went under the name of the governor's house for many years afterward. It was also called the Lighthouse, because in earlier times lanterns were displayed from a pole on the roof to guide navigators in the creek. Edward and Mary Bradway deeded their house and town lot of sixteen acres to their daughter, Mary Cooper, a widow, the deed bearing date of January 16, 1693. (Salem Surveys, book 5, page 288, Trenton, N.J.)

In 1693 the town of Salem was incorporated into a borough, and the authorities of the town changed the name of Wharf street to Bradway street, in honor of Edward Bradway. He was a prominent member of the Friends' meeting in early times, and appears in public affairs, being chosen a member of the assembly of Salem Tenth in September, 1685; signed concessions and agreement in March, 1676; was a member of assembly, Salem, in March, 1683; justice of Salem Tenth in May, 1684; commissioned to call to account Salem people who had received public goods, in May 1694; justice of Salem Tenth, in May, 1685; and member of the assembly, September, 1685. (End of text from Biographical History of the First Congressional District of New Jersey.)

According to Passengers and Ships Prior to 1684, Penn's Colony: Volume I, by Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr., 1970,

73 Edward Bradway, family and servants are listed as passengers of the Kent. However, he was possibly on the Greyhound, on which he loaded goods after the Kent had departed. Edward Bradway, his family and servants are also listed as passengers of the Greyhound in October, 1677

Salem, the capital of Salem County, New Jersey, thirty-two miles from Camden, is the oldest settlement in southwest New Jersey and was founded by the Society of Friends under the leadership of John Fenwick in 1675, seven years before the founding of Pennsylvania. The main thoroughfare of Salem, originally called Wharf Street, is now known as Broadway, a name thought by some people to be a corruption of "Bradway", derived from Edward Bradway, an opulent early settler who built his handsome residence on his town lot.

Notes for Samuel* Bacon: [Master File.ftw]

Migrated to Cohansey, Salem Co., NJ from Barnstable, MA via Woodbridge, NJ by 1685. His will was dated 18 Sept 1695 and was proved 9 Dec. 1695. The will names sons William, Samuel, John, Nathaniel, Jeremiah, Benjamin & Joseph Bacon, and daughters Martha & Ann, as well as his wife, although not by name. Recorded in Will Book A, pg. 175.

"Samuel Bacon, probably, was one of the first Europeans that purchased lands in the North Cohansey precincts, now known as Bacon's Neck. He purchased it of an Indian chief, and the deed is still in possession of one of the branches of the Bacon family. A considerable portion of the land is held at this time by some of Samuel's descendants, being the sixth generation. William, Joseph and John, sons of Samuel Bacon, were prominent men. John was one of the Judges of the Salem Courts for a number of years." [from History and Genealogy of Fenwick's Colony, pg. 461].

First Settlers of Ye Plantations of Piscataway and Woodsridge Olde East New Jersey part 4 of Barnstable, through whom it is supposed Samuel Bacon was induced to become one of the settlers in New Jersey.

SAMUEL BACON became one of the patentees and took up a tract of land near the town of Woodbridge, for which patents were issued by Governor Carteret on October 18, 1669 and May 18, 1669-70.

He was one of the original incorporators of the town of Woodbridge on June 1, 1669.

Patent, March 18, 1669-70.

In 1678 Samuel Bacon was constable of the town of Woodbridge and on December 18, 1681 he was elected one of the four assistant magistrates who with a president, constituted the township court. To this duty he was commissioned on January 10, 1682.

Family of Samuel Bacon

76 In Barnstable Families (Vol. 1, Pg. 38) we are informed that Samuel Bacon married Martha Foxwell on May 9, 1699 and had issue: 1. Samuel Bacon, born March 9, 1669-70. 2.

Joseph Bacon, born February 7, 1672. 5. Jeremiah Bacon, born April 6, 1675. 6. Ann Bacon, born April 9, 1677. In addition to the above named children we find two others mentioned in the will of their mother (1697-1700): 7. Nathaniel Bacon, 8. William Bacon. The inventory of her will shows still another son, named 9. John Bacon. (Signed, Dr. Egerton Crispin, L. A.).

686. Emmanuel* Woolley, born March 29, 1625 in Crich, Derby, England; died May 04, 1681 in Newport, RI. He married 687. Elizabeth Freeman May 17, 1653 in Newport, Newport County, Rhode Island. 687. Elizabeth Freeman, born Abt. 1630 in England.

Notes for Emmanuel* Woolley: [Master File.ftw]

Emanuel, an orphan by age three, immigrated to Newport, RI, as a child prior to 1653. Made a freeman (citizen) in May 1653 and, in May 1667, he and others skilled therein were ordered to repair all arms brought to them by the Captain or Lieutenant of the Newport Train Band. He was part of the Rhode Island Monmouth Association and was among those who contributed to the purchase of land from the local Indians. He did not settle in Monmouth Co., NJ, giving his share to sons Edward, William and John.

From Austin's Genealogical Dictionary we learn that Emmanuel Wooley was made freeman of Newport, Rhode Island on May 17, 1667. He and others skilled therein were ordered to repair all arms brought to them by the Captain Or Lieutenant of the Train Band of Newport.

The statement has been made that he came to Shrewsbury, NJ in 1660, but the sole evidence of that, if true, lies in the fact that, to the extent of three pounds, he was one of the contributors for the purchasing of lands from the Indians. No land was patented to him; there is no warrant for any survey of land in his name; and no deed is of

77 record in which he appears as grantor. It is likely, therefore, that the share of land he purchased was given or sold to one of his sons.

Of his children, nine in number, all except the oldest and youngest sons came to Monmouth County, NJ, Edward settling at Manasquan, William at Shark River, and John at Poplar, where he had many acres of lands adjoining those of his father-in-law, Thomas Potter.

Francis Allen, probably a son of George Allen and his first wife, was born in England. In 1643, his name appears on the list of men from Sandwich, between the ages of sixteen and sixty, who were able to bear arms in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts. Francis was later married at Sandwich in the New Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts (now within Barnstable County, Massachusetts) to a woman named Mary Besseon 20 July 1662. Mary was the daughter of Anthony and Jane Besse. After Mary's father passed away, her mother married for a second time to the Sheriff of Sandwich, George Barlow.

Francis subsequently died at Sandwich in 1697/98. His will, which was written on 18 February 1695 (18th day, 12th month, 1695), was probated in Barnstable County on 19 March 1697/98.

Ann Nottingham.

Notes for Freedom* Lippincott: [Master File.ftw]

Freedom Lippincott, fourth son of Richard & Abigail Lippincott, was a tanner. He moved from Monmouth Co. to Burlington Co. in 1687. He lived by the Rancocas Creek, where the king's highway crossed it, just about where Bridgeboro now stands. In 1687, he bought 288 acres in Burlington Co. and made his home on that land. He was also a blacksmith and in the summer of 1697, while shoeing a horse, he was killed by lightning. His widow and five children survived him.

On 2 Sep 1680, Freedom Lippincott of Shrewsbury and Mary "Costoms" of Burlington proposed their intentions of marriage before the Burlington Monthly Meeting held at John Woolston's house in Burlington. They passed meeting the following 6 Oct. and were married eight days later at Burlington as shown by the marriage record.

Since Quaker marriages are frequently witnessed by relatives, careful attention is given to those who witnessed this marriage. The only Lippincott relative present was Freedom's brother Remembrance. Thomas Olive who witnessed the marriage was the emigrant to West Jersey whose wife Judith Nottingham "Jude", was a sister to Ann(Nottingham)Custance/Custin, Mary Custance's mother. Therefore Thomas and Judith Olive were Mary's aunt and uncle and probably her senior relatives in West Jersey.

Judith Olive continues to be of interest to Freedom and Mary Lippincott's family. "Judeth"Olive was present at the "birthing" on 24 Dec 1684 of their son Samuel. Judith Olive was also present at the birth of Thomas, their

80 son, on 28 Dec 1686. Judy Olive died on 4 Nov 1688 which is of particular interest since Freedom and Mary named their next child Judith when she was born on 22 Jul 1689.

Notes for Mary* Custance: [Master File.ftw]

The identity of Freedom's wife has been the subject of much discussion and some considerable confusion. Her identity as a Curtis is without foundation in any record and should be disregarded. The original Burlington Monthly Meeting Book of Births, Deaths and Marriages gives her name as Mary Custin. The Burlington Monthly Minute Book which is a fair copy of the records in the aforementioned book transcribes her name as Mary Customs. Subsequent research indicates that her name was Mary Custance, but since it is difficult to know how 17th Century orthography and pronunciation rendered that name, Custin may very well be a faithful approximation.

Mary(Custance)Lippincott was related to the Olive and Woolston families who settled in Burlington Co. through her mother. Her maternal grandfather Thomas Nottingham, a yeoman of Wellingborough,Northamptonshire,England, married Mary Hills on 24 Apr 1624. They had at least twelve children, one of whom was Mary's mother Ann. Ann's sister, Susanna marr. William Woolston and her sister, Judith marr. Thomas Olive.

Thomas Olive's will written 8 Nov 1692 at his home in Willingborough, BurlCo., NJ, corroborates the Woolston and Lippincott relationship. He specifically left the children of Freedom 'Lippingcot' the sum of five pounds to be equally divided amongst them and to be paid when they shall come to the age of eighteen years.

The "Shield" was the first ship to land in Burlington. He was 18 years old at the time. Abraham and William came with the first group of immigrants to Burlington, NJ. Abraham and his brother William were followers of George Keith, a dissenting Quaker. They were excommunicated from their meeting and joined St. Mary's Anglican Church in Burlington, NJ. His descendents did not rejoin the Quakers until Isaac Heulings married Susannah Woodward, a Quaker

Elizabeth Wilson September 05, 1706 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. 733. Elizabeth Wilson, born 1682 in England; died January 30, 1731/32.

Notes for William* Buckman: [Master File.ftw]

William Buckman, a carpenter from Billingshurst, in Sussex, England, a "Welcome" passenger, brought with him his wife, daughters, Mary and Sarah, and son, William. A daughter, Ruth, was born to them after their arrival. He took up a tract of land along the Bristol Road, above Churchville, which extended nearly to Richborough, Pennsylvania. His second wife was Elizabeth Wilson, by whom he had four children and at his death, in 1716, his widow married Thomas Story, of Falls, Pennsylvania. His children intermarried with the families of Cooper, Bock, Blaker, Penquite and Heston and left numerous descendents. (There is the same William Buckman, who later settled in Newtown, PA. There has been much confusion with this as the children are different. This second family accounts for this.) William Penn started a new settlement in Newton, Pennsylvania and shortly after this William Buckman sold his farm and stock to Shaw. Then Buckman bought a tract in Newtown township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania on the Neshaminy of Robert Webb. He married his second wife, Elizabeth Wilson and they lived at this location until his death. His will is dated April 9, 1716. William and Elizabeth lived on the Bristol Road above Churchville to Richborough, Pennsylvania. William lies buried in the old grave yard at Newtown in Newtown township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The grave yard is overgrown with briars and trees and a few dilapidated tombstones remain.

William Buck, the immigrant was born, probably, at or near Billinghurst, Sussex, England, about the year 1650, the son, probably the eldest, of Edward and Joan Bagham Buckman. Though no record of his birth or baptism has been found, he is associated with the other children of his parents in the baggage memoranda already quoted, and

84 he inherited the land rights of his brothers, Edward and Thomas when they died without issue. Thre can be no doubt of his position in this family. Along with his family as passengers on the "Welcome" were his two brothers, Edward and Thomas, his sister Ruther and their widowed mother, Joan Buckman. There is a possibility that his eldest child, Thomas started the voyage with the others but died of the smallpox enroute.

The Middletown Monthly Meeting minutes on the 8th month, 2nd day of 1690 (August 2, 1690), the names of contributors to the meeting house fund and among them we find Willm (sic) Buckman with a 5s 1d contribution. He was appointed on of several to lay out a road from Newtown to the ferry on the second Wednesday in December 1693, reappointed 10 June 1696, on which day the work was reported done. Similarly, on 5 October 1697, he was appointed to lay out a road from Wrightstown to Neshamineh Meeting House, and he was a juror in 1684, on the grand jury in 1688, 1689, 1691, and 1698, and a witness on 14 April 1698.

William Buckman emigrated to America on the "Welcome" with many other Quakers in 1682. He traveled with 1071 pounds of items, including tools, linens, clothing, dishes, pots and pans, beds, and weapons. He inherited from his father and from his brothers who died without issue. General W. W. H. Davis, author of the History of Bucks County, PA, believes that the Buckmans spent their first winter in a cave south of Falsington. William was appointed one of several to lay out a road from Newtown to the ferry in 1693. In 1697 he was appointed to lay out a road from Wrightstown to Nehamineh Meeting House. He was juror in 1684, and on the grand jury several times.

Child of William* Buckman and Elizabeth Wilson is: 366 i. Thomas Buckman, born July 08, 1707 in Newtown, Bucks Co., PA; died 1734; married Agnes Penquite March 03, 1725/26 in Wrightstown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

734. John* Penquite, born 1665; died May 14, 1714 in Newton Twp, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He married 735. Agnes Sharp 1705. 735. Agnes Sharp, born 1669 in Shrewsbury, Shrops, England; died 1758 in Bucks Co., PA. She was the daughter of 1470. Hugh Sharpe.

Notes for John* Penquite: [Master File.ftw]

John came to America in 1683, and joined the Quakers in 1696. He was from Liskeard, Cornwall, and came to this country as a servant to Thomas Constable and his sister Blanche. He asked permission to marry Agnes Sharpe of Shrewsbury in East Jersey, and received approval from the Neshamina MM (later Middletown MM) 6 Jan 1690. In 1695 they moved to Wrightstown after Walter and Blanche (Constable) Bridgeman died. John was a farmer and a zealous Friend. Note: Art Connor, who said that some of his information came from the museum in Doylestown, said that John Penquite was from Yorkshire. Note: Another source (Bucks Co. PA Historical Society, Vol. 1 p. 3) says that Penquites were in Bucks Co. as early as 1600 (?) and the third settler in Wrightstown was John Penquite. So he may have been here earlier than 1683. Valerie Rabe doubted that John Penquite was Cornish, however Penquite is a Cornish name. Note: Agnes Sharp was converted to the Society of Friends in England, and was a religiously minded woman with a gift in the ministry. She did not travel much in the exercise of her ministry, but was faithful in attending meetings about her home. Her testimonies were generally short, but she indicated to those around her that she had the evidence of Divine peace. She came to America in 1686. Note:

THOMAS DEMING, OF WETHERSFIELD, PERHAPS BROTHER OF FIRST JOHN, MARRIED JULY 24, 1645, MARY SHEAFFE; WAS OF FARMINGTON AND REMOVED TO SOUTHHAMPTON, L.I. THENCE TO EASTHAMPTON, WHERE POSTERITY IS STILL LIVING. SOMETIMES IN THE RECORDS THE NAME IS DEMON OR DEMENT, AND THE AFFINITY IS EXCEEDINGLY DIFFICULT TO BE TRACED WITH EXACTNESS. EIGHT OF THIS NAME HAD IN 1828, BEEN GRADUATED AT NEW ENGLAND COLLEGES. - GENEALOGICAL GUIDE TO THE EARLY SETTLERS OF AMERICA - WHITTEMORE

Owned land in Farmington

Thomas Dymont who moved from Connecticut to East Hampton Long Island, and then to Southhampton was among the first settler of that place who was of Puritan ancestry. He was one of the first settlers, but was not one of the original group.

None of the sources I have seen, give the information on Thomas being born in Shalford, Essex, but since I have nothing to refute it, I will accept this place given by Ed Deming in His World Connect WEB site on Thomas Deming. (E. Dimond, Dec. 2001)

The progenitor of the family seems to be one Thomas Dumont, born in Picardy, France in the mid 1500's. He

89 emigrated to England with a large group of Huguenots in the late 1500's. Thomas had at least 2 sons, David and Jonathan. This information was given to me by Robert Culp of Pearl City, Hawaii in 1988. Mr. Culp was then working on a comprehaensive history of the Dymont, Deming, Diman, Dement, Dimond family. According to several sources, as noted above, the name appears in early records as Deming, Demmon, Demond, Dimon, Diamond, Diamont, and Dymont. (Depending on the researcher any one of these is used. Probably it depends on how the researcher's family has chosen to use the name). Edwin Dimond in his volume GENEALOGY OF THE DIMOND OR DIMON FAMILY, published Albany, N.Y., 1891, thinks Deming is a mis-pronunciation of the name.

The first Thomas had two known sons David and Jonathan. No one seems to know what happened to David, though his name occurs in the will of Richard Treat. (father-in-law of one John Deming). Jonathan or John had 3 children ----- Elizabeth m. (1) Nathaniel Foote (2) Gov. William Welles of Conn. Thomas born 1610-1613 (described below) John b. abt 1612, recorded as John s. of John DuMont, the Frenchman, or as John Deming, the settler.

John and Thomas Dymont (Diamont or Deming) first appear in the Wethersfield, Conn. records in 1636-1645. Savage says they were perhaps brothers. This agrees with some family traditions. Thomas Dymont's shipyard in Wethersfield in 1648 is mentioned as the place where one of the first ships of the colony (The TRYALL) was built. (See Memorial History of Hartford County, p. 481). Thomas married Mary Shaeffe in 1645 in Wethersfield. They soon removed to Farmington where their son James was born in 1646. From Farmington Thomas removed to Southhampton, Long Island, and then to East Hampton, where he died in 1682. In his will he used the spelling Dymont, not Deming, as he had perhaps used in Wethersfield. He mentions his wife Mary and children as follows- --James, b. 1646; Thomas; Sarah, wife of ______Headley of New Jersey; Abigail; Hannah, wife of ______Bird or Budd; Elizabeth, wife of ______Miller; Ruth, wife of ______Dayton; John who died before 1682. (Howell's Early History of Southhampton, L.I., 2d ed.) Thomas was probably the brother of John Dymont of Wethersfield. They had a Shipyard there which built one of the first ships of the colony was built. This was the TRYALL (see Memorial History of Hartford County). Thmas and Mary removed to Farmington after their marriage, and thence to Southampton, and later East Hampton. In his will he used the spelling Dymont, n0ot Deming which he may have used in Connecticut. The Dymonts of Southampton were among the early settlers, but were not among the original nine families.

The name was spelled many different ways. Originally probably Dumont, then Deming, Dymont, Dimon. Diman, Dimond, Diamond, and Diament as some of the variations..

Regarding the above, "GENEALOGIES OF NJ FAMILIES," taken from the 'Gen Mag. of NJ,' has an article on the Kendall family in Vol.I, pg. 441-2:

"Thomas and Ann Kendall's Family" by Mary Ann Nicholson

"Dr. John E. Stillwell's "Hist. & Gen. Misc." (4:376) calls John Ogborne's wife Ann Kendall, daughter of Thomas and Mary Elton Kendall, born @1677. Then Stillwell says Mary Elton m. Thomas Kendall on December 25 1685. "Before Mary Elton Kendall died she and Thomas had one daughter, Mary, who married @ 1702 Samuel Cole, Jr. Thomas Kendall, who had a young motherless dau. to raise, married on Jan. 6, 1690/1 widow Ann (---)Knott Jennings (TAG 15:179). She brought to this marriage three daughters by her first two husbands. Ann and Susannah Knott were by ? Knott and Elizabeth Jennings by her marriage to Peter Jennings on March 20, 1683/4 (ibid.). "Peter Jennings, a carpenter of Burlington, made his will on Aug. 31, 1690, inventory was taken Nov. 10, and the will probated Dec. 8, 1690. Wife Ann(Anne) was executrix with Thomas Kendall and Nathaniel Cripps fellow bondsmen. Jennings named Thomas Gardner and James Hill as advisers and guardians of his dau. Elizabeth Jennings. He also mentioned his 'daughters-in-law' (step-daughters) Ann and Susannah Knott (NJA 23:258-259). "About 1697 Thomas Kendall's stepdaughter Ann Knott married John Ogborne, Jr. Susannah Knott was not married when Hannah Chaffen Kemble Scott made her will in 1697 and mentioned her (NJA 23:408). Susannah was the maid servant of Grace and John Hollinshead and in his will of 1699 John said, ".....unto my servant girl Susannah Nott ten pounds and if my dear wife depart this life before said Susannah's time be expired as bound by indenture my will is that she be free." By 1720 this legacy had been paid (NJA 23:234) "Thomas Kendall's will of April 4, 1709 does not mention Elizabeth Jennings who may not have survived or Susannah who was on her own. It does mention daughter Mary Cole, wife Ann, and son-in-law John Ogborne (NJA 23:271). Widow Ann and John Ogborne settled the estate. "John Ogborne, Senior's, will of 1716 mentions his daughter-in-law Ann Stockton and son John's daughters Sarah, Anna, and Ann (NJA 23:344). John Ogborne, Jr. had died intestae 1713/14 and by 1716 his widow Ann Knott Ogborne had married John Stockton as his second wife. John Stockton (1674-1747) had married first Mary Leeds. His second wife, Ann, had died before he wrote his will dated Aug. 31, 1745 and proved 1747. In it he gives small legacies to Sarah Woolston, Anna Lippincott, and the three Butterworth boys. Sarah, Anna, and the deceased Ann Butterworth were his Ogborne stepdaughters (NJA 30:460)."

93 In a second article the same author continues: "In the Article 'Thomas and Ann Kendall's Family' (GMNJ 59:144) published in Sept 1984, the maiden name of Ann (---)Knott Kennings Kendall is unknown. The church records of St. Mary's, Oldham, Lancashire, England, (Internationa Genealogical Index of Church of Latter Day Saints), show the marriage of Ann Bromley to John Knott took place 29 October 1660. This same register includes the baptism/christening record of the following children: Susannah Knott, 22, Sept. 1661 Ann Knott, 28, Feb. 1664 John Knott, 25, March 1666 "After arriving in Burlington County, NJ widow Ann (Bromley)Knott married in 1683/4 Peter Jennings and in 1690/1 Thomas Kendall. Daughter Ann Knott married John Ogborne, Jr. and John Stockton. Daughter Susannah Knott may have married currier George Kendally by 1704 (NJA 21:539. H. Clay Reed & George J. Miller, ed.

Notes for Thomas* Stokes: [Master File.ftw]

From Burke's standard work of the landed gentry of Great Britain, this family is of Norman origin, and claims to be a branch of the ancient and illustrious house of Montespedon, now believed to be extinct in Normandy.

From old documents it appears that its ancestors must have come to England after the conquest, when honors and possessions were assigned to them.

Their history, however is not uninterrupted by times, until the time of Edward II, when we find by records in the Tower, that Sir Adam De Stokke was seized of the manor of Stokke, Rustaball and Wilts.

Thomas, his eldest son, held the manor of Sendee with other lands in Wiltshire, and Roger, his second son, the manors of Wolshall, Sanarnagrit and Hungerford, in the same county. The later Roger, with his father, Sir Adam, were interred in the church of Great Bedwin, to which they had been benefactors, where their monuments and effigies are still to be seen. John, a descendant of Thomas, represented the county in Parliment in the time of Charles II. In the reign of Elizabeth, we find the Stockys (the first change in the orthography of the name) erected the chapel or church of Sendee, and lies there interred. In the fifteenth century, Cristopher Stokes (when the name finaly changed) held the manors of Stanhawes and other lands in Gloucestershire. Edward Stokes held part of the manor of Fetherton and lands at Langley Burrell in Gloucestershire later. John Stokes held the manor of Stanhawes Court, Cardington, with other lands in the same county about A.D. 1700.

Richard Stokes, of Caln Castle, Wilts, held considerable possessions in the counties of Gloucestershire and

94 Bucks. Some of the family enjoyed lands in Sussex and Kent, and within the last fifty years possessed considerable proerty in the counties of Wilts, Gloucestershire and Warwick. The arms of the Stokes family-A lion rampant, doubled Gnewed erm Crest. A dove with wings expanded; in the mouth an olive branch, all ppr. Motto: Fertis qui insons

Thomas Stokes, the immedite progenitor of the Stokes family in America, was a contemporary of George Fox, the religious reformer and founder of the Society of Friends', and of William Penn, who was associated with the trustees of Edward Byllinge, the original proprietor of New Jersey, the founder of the Province of Pennsylvania. He was sixteen years younger than the former, and four years older than the latter; a convert to their religious doctrines and toleration, with the largest liberty for individual belief; but like all pioneers and propagandists desiring to avoid prosecution, and seeking new fields of labor, he concluded to remove to the colonies of America, and seek his fortune on this continent.

His brother John, of London, having large interests in proprietary rights bordering on the Northampton River, he settled on a part of the tract conveyed to him by his brother. This conveyance of John to his brother Thomas is said to be the only portion of his proprietary interest ever disposed of in any way by him, and was no doubt the whole location. Thomas located three hundred acres of land fronting on the northerly side of the Northampton River, and a portion of the tract remains in the family, having passed down from father to son by will.

Thomas Stokes was a man of influence, and took a very active part in the affairs of the colony. We find from the records of the colony that he served on the first grand jury held in Burlington County.

Thomas Stokes, of Lower Shadwell, and Mary Bernard of Stepney, were married the 30th day of the 10th month, 1668, Westbury Street Friends' Meeting, London. They belonged to Devonshire House Meeting.

Thomas and his family sailed for America in the ship "Kent," and arrived at New Castle 6th month, 1677, proceeded to Burlington, West New Jersey, and settled on a tract of land containing one hundred sixty-two and a half acres. The deed for the same was from his brother, John Stokes, of Wentworth street, London, who was a biscuit baker, etc., who owned a great many acres of land in Northhampton Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. Thomas named the location Stokingham. He was one of the signers of the laws and concessions of West New Jersey

Groombridge Place is a moated manor house set in magnificent grounds all of which are being restored. In 1239 the site boasted a feudal castle built by the Baron, William Russell. During the Civil War the Castle was largely destroyed. With the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, Philip Packer, a member of the kings court, set about rebuilding the estate. Inspired by Chistopher Wren he built the classical mansion, and John Evelyn who visited frequently advised the design for the formal gardens which have survived virtually unaltered to this day.

From "Historic Kent Villages"

The Village of Groombridge

Groombridge teeters on the very borders of Kent and Sussex. In fact, part if it actually spills over into the neighbouring county and there is some local controversy about whether it should remain thus divided or be

96 absorbed wholly into one county or the other.

At one corner of the triangular green the Crown Inn keeps a friendly eye on the 17th century brick church of St John the Evangelist. This began life as a chapel built by a Protestant owner of Groombridge Place in thanksgiving for the failure of Charles I's plans to marry the Catholic Infanta of Spain. The church overlooks the green from across the B2188, from which an access to the Burrswood Centre slices the green in two.

The Burrswood Christian Centre for Health Care and Ministry, established in 1960, includes a church, a conference centre and tea room. It offers physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and other treatments for physical and spiritual ills in 220 acres of some of the most beautiful countryside in England, itself a balm to both heart and soul.

Two sides of the green are framed by tile-hung and weatherboarded cottages behind pollarded lime trees, creating a picture-postcard scene that is both peaceful and, at the same time, oddly lifeless, in spite of the fairly constant stream of traffic that passes it.

There is though, nothing lifeless about moated Groombridge Place, which advertises its welcome to paying customers to explore the wholly delightful gardens and grounds. The house, although not open to the public, can still be admired from across the moat. It boasts a 700-year history, beginning in 1239, when Henry III gave his permission for a fortified and moated castle to be built. In 1286, a Charter of Edward I permitted the founding of a weekly market and annual fair at Groombridge. The fair died out in the early 1900s but the market was still being held every week until the middle of the century.

Through the centuries, Groombridge Place has been owned by some of Kent's most distinguished families, including the de Cobhams and that Sir Richard Waller who, after the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, found the wounded Duke of Orleans, half-brother of the French King, and brought his back to Groombridge. Here he was nursed back to health while waiting for the ransom that was demanded for his return to be paid. Unfortunately for Sir Richard, word got around and the prisoner was claimed by the Crown, as was the huge ransom that was eventually paid for him.

After the Wallers, the castle was owned by the Sackvilles (of Knole, at Sevenoaks) but it was the 17th century owner, Philip Packer, who rebuilt it pretty much as it is today. After 1734, the house lay empty and falling into dereliction for twenty years, during which time it may well have been used by the notorious Groombridge Gang of smugglers as a 'hide'. The gang was finally broken up and one of its leaders, John Bowra, who turned land agent and map maker, was commissioned to draw up an estate plan, which is still preserved at Groombridge Place.

The new owner, William Camfield, restored not only the house but St John's church and the village generally. After the Camfields, the estate was inherited by the Rev John James Saint and his family, who are commemorated pretty prominently in the churchyard.

The diarist, John Evelyn, who was a friend of the Packers during their ownership and stayed at Groombridge Place more than once, described it as 'a pretty melancholy seat, well wooded and watered' and he confided to his diary his opinion that the new house would have been far better situated south of the wood. Nevertheless, there is some reason to believe he helped design the gardens although he probably did not envisage such features as the Enchanted Forest, Sacred Pools, Draughtsman's Garden with its giant chess and draughts sets, and much else besides, all designed to help Groombridge Place compete with other major attractions.

Notes for Walter* Reeves: [Master File.ftw]

THE REEVES FAMILY

FIRST GENERATION

"WALTER REEVE, the progenitor of this family, settled in Burlington County, New Jersey (then West Jersey), some time prior to 1678. The date of his birth is not known, but we can assume it to be between 1650 and 1657. He lived on the south side of the North Branch of Rancocas Creek, at first on land he never took title to. He later bought a plantation on the north side of the creek, about midway between the village of Rancocas and the present town of Mt. Holly. He says in his will that his plantation is on the north side of the creek, to the 'northward of my dwelling house,' so we might infer his dwelling house was still on the south side of the creek. This may have been, for the land he first occupied was called Reeve's land in surveys and deeds up to 1743, when it was surveyed to Andrew Connaro, February 8, 1743, as seventy acres. And when Connaro sold it by deed of 18 June 1756, to Charles Reed it says, 'Whereas Andrew Connaro by virtue of a Warrant from the Council of Proprietors had surveyed to him the quantity of seventy acres of land situate in the forks of the Ancocas being the land formerly called Reeve's land.' Walter Reeve[s], besides the plantation above mentioned, had surveyed to him under Warrant, December 16, 1693, by Daniel Leeds, Deputy Surveyor, 150 acres on the west side of the North Branch of Rancocas Creek, and in June, 1695, he had surveyed to him 200 acres on the north side of the North Branch of Rancocas Creek, so that in all he had acquired 350 acres by survey and 160 acres he purchased beside the seventy acres where he first resided but never took title to.

98 It is not known to whom he was first married, but we believe her first name was Susannah, and it was probably several years before coming to Burlington County. His second marriage was to Ann Howell, November 11, 1682. He had issue by both wives. In his will, dated May 16, and proved June 18, 1698, he mentions: wife Anne, and sons John, William and Joseph, and daughter Susanna. His will does not recite the name Jonathan, but a conveyance dated August 1, 1710, shows his widow Anne, conveying 'the tract of meadow land lying next above the fork of Northampton River, upon the north side of the South Branch of said river, heretofore purchased of John Wills by deed dated January 20, 1708' to her son Johnathan. To this time we have shown that Walter had four sons and one daughter. In the will of his widow, Anne, who survived him about forty years, dated September 23, 1732, proved July 31, 1733, the following additional sons are named: Walter, Elisha, Caleb, and Samuel, making eight sons in all.

In these early documents we find the name written at times without the final 's' which we use today. The transition from Reeve to Reeves is not difficult to understand when we note the variations in spelling the name of the same person. Documents of record show the name, Reeve, Reve, Reave, Reeves. The later rendering seems to have become quite fixed from or about 1685. According to Webster, 'Reeve' is from Saxon 'gerefa,' an officer, steward, or governor. In the days of the Saxon rule in England, we find 'reeves' of various kinds looking after their lord's manors. There were fenreeves, looking after turbary rights; hythereeves, taking harbour dues; portreeves in coast towns. In early histories of our own country we come across hog-reves, deer-reves, etc. It is obsolete except in compound words, as shire-reeve, now written 'sheriff.' So we may say that the State has given us the name Reeves just as it has given us King, Earl, Chancellor and Mayor. Also, as the Church has given us Pope, Bishop, Parsons, Clark (clerk), etc."

Transcribed from, "The Reeves Family - Walter Reeves, (Compiled from notes left by Samuel V. Reeves) by Clara Swain Stevens, a Niece and Clara B. (Reeves) Birch, a Daughter," 1930.

Walter Reeve arrived in Philadelphia, aboard the Society of Bristol, in 1682 before residing here. Deed Book N., pg. 132. Rancocas Burlington Court Records, pg. 1.

.... In the latter part of the seventeenth century, Walter Reeve settled in Burlington County, West Jersey. By his first wife, he had issue in England ??? of John and Susanna; and by his second wife, Anne Howell, whom he married in 1682, he had further issue of Walter, Jonothan, William, Elisha, Joseph, Calib, Samuel, and Elizabeth.

John Reeve, who settled at Southold, Long Island, in the latter part of the seventeenth century, is stated by some writers to have been a brother of the immigrant Walter, but this is not certain. His sons were John, Elisha, Walter, Samuel, and Jonathan, and he may also have had issue of several

99 daughters.

The offspring of these and later lines of the family in America have scattered throughout every state of the Union and have played a worthy role in the advancement of American civilization. Industrious, keen-minded, and of high integrity, on the whole, they have been successful in almost every field of endeavor. Members of the family have been particularly outstanding as soldiers, public officials, writers, educators, and theologians. Among those of the Reeve name who fought in the War of the Revolution were Ensign John of New Jersey, Lieutenant Nathaniel of Massachusetts, Lieutenant Enos of Pennsylvania, and Captain Issaic of New Jersey.

A few of the members of the family who have distinguished themselves more recently are:

Tapping Reeve (1744 - 1823) Long Island — Jurist Arthur Middleton Reeve (1856-1891) Ohio — Philologist Floyd Wesley Reeve (1890- ) South Dakota — Educator Samuel Watson Reeves (1875- ) South Carolina — Mathematician Arthur Benjamin Reeves (1880- ) New York — Author Ira Louis Reeves (1872- ) Missouri — Army Officer James Hynes Reeves (1870- ) Alabama — Army Officer Jesse Siddall Reeves (1872- ) Indiana — University Professor Joseph Mason Reeves (1870- ) Illinois — Rear Admiral

One of the most ancient and best known of several coats of arms of the English Family of Reeve(s) or Reave(s) is that described as follows (Burke, General Armory, 1884): Arms: "Argent, on a fess engrailed sable, between three escallops azure, as many eagles displayed or "Crest: An eagles head erased, or collared sable."

Watts Reeve 1766 - 1821 Lois M. Cambell 1767 - 1853 Moses Reeve 1809 - 1881 Abagail Hedges 1811 - 1893

Research: Although these names are represented by seperate and distinct families in many sections of Great Britain, the United States, and other parts of the world, they have undoubtely a common derivation. The name orginated in the ancient word "reve", meaning a bailiff, provost or steward. In the feudal days of Britain almost every manor of consequence had its "reve" whose authority was to levy the lord's rent, to set to work his servants, to superintend his dominions to his best profit and to govern his tenants in peace as well as to lead them forth to war when necessity required. After the Normans invaded England (1066) the name "reve" was changed to "bailiff". In later times the word "sheriff" shire-reve) came into use designating the principal Governor over the English shire or country. Robert Reve of Blandford, County Dorset, was the earliest known ancestor of the English family of Reve, Rives, or Ryves. He was born about 1490. At his death in 1551, he was buried in the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Blandford Forum where the coat of arms was found in the north

100 window. One William Rives who settled in Virginia was considered the founder of the Rives, Ryves family in the southern states of America. He was the son of Timothy Rives of Oxfordshire, England and came to Surrey County, Virginia about 1653. The first documented representative of this branch of the Reeves family was George Reeves who was born about 1700 in Virginia. There is no record to be found of his arrival by ship in that generation so it is quite likely that his father was the emigrant.

I) Walter Reeve (as the name was originally spelled), the pioneer ancestor of this family in New Jersey, came to the province of West Jersey prior to 1682. He settled in Burlington county, locating on Rancocas creek, where he purchased a plantation upon which he established

101 his homestead and which he occupied until his death in 1698. It is probable that he came from England, although it is possible that he came from Southold, Long Island, and was a member of the Reeve family which settled there about 1650. John Reeve, of Southold, who was probably in the same generation as Walter Reeve, made his will in 1712, and in this he named his sons, John, Elisha, Walter, Samuel and Jonathan, all of which names are to be found among the sons of Walter Reeve, of Burlington county. Walter Reeve was a farmer, and appears to have engaged to some extent in trade with foreign countries. Among the archives in the office of the secretary of the state of New Jersey is the record of a bill of lading issued to Walter Reeve, 3 April, 1691, for an invoice of "cheese, flour and beef," shipped by him to John Brett, a merchant of the Island of Barbadoes. Mr. Reeve prospered in his wordly estate, and at his death possessed two plantations, one containing one hundred and sixty acres, the other containing two hundred acres, and both in an excellent state of cultivation. His will, dated 16 May, and proved 18 June, 1698, names his wife Anne, sons John, William and Joseph, and daughter Susanna. The will of his widow, made 23 September, 1732, proved 31 July, 1733, names sons Walter, Joseph, Elisha, Caleb and Samuel. Walter Reeve married (first), (???) and had children: 1. John, who was probably born in England; married Ann Bradgate; died 1748. 2. Susanna. 3. William, see forward. 4. Joseph, who was living at the date of the will made by Mrs. Reeve, 1732. Walter Reeve married (second), November, 1682, Anne Howell, who survived him nearly forty years. They had children: 1. Walter, born 1648; married Ann (???); died March 21, 1754. 2. Jonathan, married Mary Heulings, a widow. He made his will March 18, 1725 or 1726, in which he names his wife Mary, his brother Walter, cousins Esther and Solomon Curtis, and Matthew Heulings, "son of my wife." 3. Elisha, letters of administration on whose estate were granted to David Watson, December 13, 1750. 4. Caleb, probably died unmarried, May 8, 1753, as his brother Walter in his will of that date disposed of two hundred acres of land in Mannington, Salem county, which his brother Caleb had purchased of George Webb. 5. Samuel.

(II) William Reeve, second son of Walter (1) and his first wife, married, and his children, mentioned below, were the first to add the "s" to their surname: 1. Samuel, born 1716; died July 24, 1763.

He was a soldier during the Revolutionary war, enlisting from Burlington county in the Continental line and the state militia. He received certificate No. 123 for depreciation of his Continental pay in the Burlington county (New Jersey) militia during the war, dated May 1, 1784, for œ1:5:0. Giving his residence as township of Northampton, county of Burlington, he made a will, dated January 17, 1794, in which he named all of his children. His executors were Eber Reeves, and "Worthy friend" Thomas Patterson. It was witnessed by William Clark, James Coppuck and Samuel Read, and proved before William Griffith, Esq., surrogate for the county of Burlington, on the 13th of March, 1800, by James Coppuck, one of the witnesses.

He married Anna Andersdotter in New Sweden, PA in August 1656. Anna, a daughter of Anders Anderson and Christina (Goolbrandt) Andersdotter, was born about 1638 and died in Chester, PA in 1724. Allegedly, Nicholas Larsson, originally called Nils Larsson, arrived in New Sweden aboard the ship SWAN in 1648. By 1668, he had adopted the surname Frande and in that year he was granted a permit by the Jersey governor to buy west Jersey lands from the Indians. Records refer to Nils Larsson Friend, Nils Larsson, Neals Larsson and Neals Lawson. There is some controversy over whether this is one person or if there were two or more people with similar names who had wives name Anna. Some records say Nicholas Friend was born in Dorsetshire, England. On June 15, 1686, "Neiles Lawrson Friend" was granted 800 acres called "Oak Hill" on the east side of Red Clay Creek in Chester County PA. A 1689 deed records Anna as "Anne friend widow and relcit of Neal Lawsa als ffriend Late of Chester ...". In other words, Anne Friend, widow of Neals Larson, alias Friend, who had lived in Chester County.

Nils Larsson Friend/Frände arrived in New Sweden on the Swan in 1648 and during Rising’s administration, served as gevaldiger (policeman). He married Anna Andersson, daughter of Anders Andersson and Christiana Goolbrant(3921), circa 1656. By 1668, he had adopted the name Frände, meaning "Kinsman" or "blood relative" in Swedish. In that year, with Olle Rawson and Olle Jönsson, he was granted a permit by the new Jersey governor to buy West Jersey lands from the Indians. His own residence at the time was at Upland, Chester County, where he continued to live until his death. His house was the usual meeting place of the Upland court. He also owned 800 acres on Red clay Creek, which had been granted by William Penn in exchange for 200 acres in Bucks County, which Penn wanted for his Pennsbury estate. He died in December 1686 at Upland, Chester Co. (now Delaware), PA.

The 10 known children of Nils Larsson Friend/Frande and Anna Andersson (see #3921) were as follows: i. Brigitta "Brita" Friend/Frande married John Cock. She was born circa 1657. ii.

Hendrick Henry” Andersson Kolman\Coleman was born in Sweden but of Finnish ancestry, was probably the elder of two sons. Henry married an Anna Hendricksson, the daughter of John and Magdalena Hendricksson. He was a member of the Wicaco Congregation Church. He owned 200 acres in New Stockholm, Raccoon Creek. On 3 April 1693, shortly before the church census, Henry Coleman alias Anderson had been named executor of the estate of “his brother Lasse Coleman alias Anderson in Gloucester County, New Jersey. He gained considerable notoriety in 1669 as the principal accomplice of the Long Finn, who urged the Swedes and Finns to take up arms against the English. Hendrick was arrested and fined 930 guilders. In 1671 he resided at Carkoen’s Hook, Kingsessing, but moved in 1675 with Peter Larsson alias Putcan to a 100-acre tract on the northwest side of Mill (Darby) Creek opposite Carkoen’s Hook. He sold his half to Otto Ernest Cock, 21 December 1696. He probably died soon thereafter. In 1693, his wife Anna and his daughter Anna were probably residing in Ammansland with John Hendricksson. Widow Anna Coleman was still living on 12 September 1703 when she was named in the will of Henrdrick Torton.

One relatively unknown forefather, progenitor of the Friend family in America, is Nils Larsson, who arrived in New Sweden on the Swan in 1648 and served as a warden for Governor Rising 1654. Two years later, he married Anna Andersdotter (possibly the daughter of Anders Andersson the Finn) and settled at Upland (now Chester), where they raised a family of ten children. His house was also the location of the Swedes' quarterly court sessions after Armegot Printz sold the Printz family's Tinicum Island estate.

Nils Larsson played a very prominent role in the Swedish community until his death at Upland in the winter of 1686-87. He became known as Nils Larsson Frände, meaning "kinsman" or "blood relative" in Swedish, possibly because of his influence among the Indians who considered him a "blood brother." Under English rule, his adopted surname became anglicized to "Friend." In 1668, Nils and two other Swedes, secured a permit from the govemor of the new province of New Jersey to buy lands from the Indians in present Gloucester County. The

107 resulting acquisition led to a large Swedish settlement centering around Raccoon Creek (present Swedesboro).

Nils Larsson Frände also acquired lands in present Bucks County, which he traded to William Penn in return for 800 acres east of Red Clay Creek in New Castle County. Penn built his Pennsbury estate on Frände's former land.

At the time of his death, Nils Larsson was serving as constable for Chester township. His wife Anna survived him by about 40 years and was said to be over 106 when she died.

950. Capt. Israel* Helm, born 1627 in Mora Parish, Helsingland, Sweden; died Bet. 1701 - 1702 in Greenwich Twp, Gloucester County, NJ.

Notes for Capt. Israel* Helm: [Master File.ftw]

Capt., ship owner and Master in employ of Swedish, Dutch, and British nations. Made many trips to New World. (New Amsterdam 1618-1655). Brought his family to New Sweden, Delaware in 1651 with Col. John Prinz III, Governor of New Sweden. In this party was Erick Pallson Mollkey of a distinguished Swedish family..The deeds for the land purchased from the Indians in 1638 for the land afterwards known as New Sweden were examined and approved by Captain Israel Helm.

One of the legendary leaders emerging from New Sweden was Israel Helm, originally known as Israel Åkesson.

In 1749, Israel Helm's youngest son told Peter Kalm that his father had come to New Sweden at the age of 12 with Governor Printz in 1642-43 and lived in the Governor's household. Records at the Swedish National Archives give a slightly different story: they show that Israel Åkesson came to New Sweden in 1641 on the Charitas, with his father, musketeer Åke Israelsson from Stockholm. His father died at sea, one month before the Charitas reached New Sweden, and young Israel was cared for by the Company as an orphan. Undoubtedly, he became a ward of Governor. Printz after his arrival in 1643.

On 1 March, 1648, after Israel became 18, he was named a soldier by Governor Printz and served in this capacity until he returned to Sweden with the governor in 1653. Two years later, Israel Akesson went to New Sweden a second time on the Mercurius and apparently resided on Tinicum Island. When Armegot Printz sold this island to Joost de la Grange in 1662, Israel returned to Europe in her company. Over the next twelve months he appears to have married and to have helped recruit more Finnish Swedes as settlers for the City of Amsterdam, which then controlled the Delaware River. Israel next appears in Delaware River records in the fall of 1663 when he arrived by a Dutch ship at present New Castle in the company of 32 new Finnish settlers. The Dutch governor rewarded him by granting him a monopoly on the fur trade in present Pennsylvania and by naming him a "High Councillor," qualifying him to sit on the Swedes' Upland court.

Israel, who adopted the surname Helm (from hjelm, meaning "helmet" in Swedish) served continuously as a justice on the Upland court from 1663 to 1681, and acquired the title of Captain, a rank usually reserved for those who served as captain in the Swedish militia.

Through his Indian trading, Israel Helm also became proficient in the Indian dialects and was in frequent demand to negotiate treaties with the Indians. As a reward, Governor Andros of New York granted him land near Burlington Island in 1677. Helm later surrendered this land to William Penn for his "Pennsbury" estate in exchange for other land on the Brandywine River.

After his return to America in 1663, Helm's principal residences were at Calcon Hook (Lower Darby) and Upland (Chester). By 1677, however, he had moved to Gloucester County, NJ, where he resided on Clonmell Creek until his death in the winter of 1701-02. He was buried next to his wife in the old Swedish graveyard on Tinicum

108 Island.

Israel Helm had three sons and five daughters:

1. Israel, Jr., born c. 1663, went to sea around 1691 and was never heard from again.

2. Helene, born c. 1665, married Peter Cock, Jr., son of Peter Larsson Cock, in 1682 and had nine children. She died at Passyunk (South Philadelphia) after 1708.

3. Maria, born in 1666, married Andrew Robeson (of Scotch birth) c. 1690 and had I I children. She died 12 November 1716 and was buried at Gloria Dei. Her husband died 19 February 1720 and was the first person known to be buried at the Swedish church in Douglassville in Berks County.

4. Another daughter, name unknown, was probably the first wife of Anders Friend, son of Nils Larsson Frände, and father of Israel Friend, of later Indian trading fame in Maryland. She died before her father.

5. Ingeborg, born c. 1670, became the second wife of Eric Mullica after 1693 and moved with her husband and youngest stepchildren to the Mullica River. She was a widow by 1704 and had no known children of her own.

6. Elisabeth, born c. 1673, married George Lawrence (English) by 1695 and had eight children. This family resided in lower Gloucester County, where she died c. 1737.

7. Hermanus, born c. 1675, married Catharine (parents not identified) and had at least I I children. He remained on his father's plantation, known as "Helmstadt," adding other lands, and died in November 1740.

8. Åkenus, born c. 1677, had two wives, Catharine Rambo (daughter of John Rambo and Brigitta Cock) and Elisabeth Dalbo, (daughter of Olof Dalbo and Catharine Friend), and had at least 11 children. He served as a trustee of the Swedish church in Swedesboro, NJ and died in 1750 at his plantation on Raccoon Creek in Gloucester County.

Notes for Roger* Bassett: [Master File.ftw]

[ruth robbins.FTW]

Roger Bassett was born in England about 1598, but the identities of his parents have yet to be determined. Roger and Ann Holland were married at St. Martin's Church in Dorking, Surrey Co. on 27 Apr. 1623. They apparently had only one child (son William) who was baptized at St. Martin's Church on 30 May 1624. By all accounts, Roger died about 1627 in Dorking, although this is still unproven. Following the early death of her husband, Ann married Hugh Burt sometime after 3 Oct. 1628 (the burial day of Hugh's first wife Ursellah). Hugh and Ann Burt came to America in 1637 on the ship "Abigail" along with William Bassett, Hugh Burt, Jr. and Edward Burt. They settled first in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but soon afterward moved to Lynn, MA where Hugh Burt, Sr. was one of the original inhabitants given 10 acres of land in 1638. Hugh and Ann were living in Lynn on 2 Nov. 1661 when Hugh Burt, Sr. died. In 1669, a complaint was made against Widow Burt for witchcraft in Salem Court. She was accused by several townspeople, but apparently no action was taken against her. Accounts of these events are discussed more thoroughly in the notes for William Bassett. Ann Burt's will was dated 8 June 1664 and she died on 7 Mar. 1673. It is likely that she died in Salem, MA, since this is where the will was filed and proved.

From "History of Surry Co., England", the following notes have been taken:

111 (1) (Vol. II) School account for the years 1655-56 shows that Wiliam Bassett (the writing master) was paid 18 pounds at Horsleydown.

(2) (Vol. III - at Dorking) In 1262, Hawisia, widow of John de Gatesden, the name of a Clare tenant, sued Robert Bassett for a third part of a mill & 40 acres of land as her dower in Hamsted and Dorking

Notes for Ann* Holland: [Master File.ftw]

[ruth robbins.FTW]

Ann Holland's parents are believed to have been Richard Holland and Winnifred Pierce, but this has yet to be proven. Identities of any siblings are also unknown at this time.

Her will, as given in the Records and Files of the Quarterly Courts of Essex Co., MA (at Salem), Vol. V, 1672- 74, p. 554, is as follows:

"Will of An Bort dated June 8, 1664, My Wil is that Willyam Bassit Juner should have won of my kowes and John bassit should have won Cowe and Elisha bassit should have won kowe and that samewell bassit shoul have the steers.

Wit: Francis Burrill, William Crofts; An (x) Bort, her mark. " I doe desier my Brother Francis Burrill and good man Croft would see that this my wil be fulfilled."

Was she really a Burrell? Called Francis Burrell her brother. He had wife Ann also. Francis Burrell could have been her brother-in- law (brother of her sister but seems not likely if his wife was named Ann also. Perhaps husband of her huband Hugh Burt's sister?) The feat and hysteria of witchcraft, which gripped New England and culminated in the infamous witch trials at Salem in 1692, had been a sinister undercurrent for many years. In 1669 a complaint against Widow Burt for witchcraft was made in Salem Court. It is not certain whether this was Widow Ann Burt, mother of William Bassett, or Sarah Burt, widow of Hugh Jr. The younger Hugh would have been 49 at this time, had he lived, and his wife possibly younger. The terms "awld wich" and "old goody Burt" might have been applied more aptly to Ann. At any rate, the ridiculous charges offer an interesting sidelight on the life and superstitions of the time. The following appeared in the Quarterly Court records of Salem, November 20, 1669 (IV:207)

112 "Bethiah Carter, aged 23 years, dwposed that she heard Sarah Townsan say when she was a maid & lived with Goodwife Burt that the latter told the said Sarah if she could believe in her God she would cure her body and soul, but Goodwife Burt said she could not cure her own husband because he would not believe in her God, but her maid did and was cured. Since then the said Sarah had been sorely afflicted with sad fits "Crying out and Rayling against me saying My father carryed me to Boston but Carryed her too Lin too and awld wich." Sara told her further that she had seen the said Burt appear often at her bed's feet in the day and night." "Phillip Reade, Physician, aged about 45 Years, deposed that he bing sent for three several times to see Sara townsan and her sister Carter, buth being very ill, "Sd Sarah townsend being in a more sadder Condiccion he had noe oppertunyty to Examine her Condiccion but did playnly percieve there was no Naturall caus for such unnaturall fits but being sent for the 4th time and finding her in a meat Capassity to Give information of her agruanc and Caus of her former fits she tould me the abovesd Burt had afflict her wors one hower after she had a sadder fit than any ever she had afore: then I askt her whoe afflict her Now and what the matter was she Replide with a great scrich she had tould me already and that she did Now Suffer for it." "John Knight aged about 47 years deposed that he "was goinge to fetch some things for his wife and he saw old goody burt coming out of a swamp and shee was in her smok sleeves and a blake hancacher and black cap on her head and hee looked upp and suddenly shee was gone out of sight and I looked aboute and chould not see her, when I came into the house I found her in the same habit as I saw her and he said unto her did I not see you in the swamp even now and she said noe I was in the house and he tould her she was a light headed woman." "Jacob Knight, aged about 24 or 25 years, deposed that "I boarded in the house of Mr. Cobit with my brother wornwood: in which house widdow Burt lived at that tyme; ,my brother & my sister being gone to Bostone: there being no fire in my brothers roome, I went."

Notes for Hugh* Burt: [Master File.ftw]

[ruth robbins.FTW]

Hugh Burt, Sr. was born in England about 1591 and possibly at St. Clement, Eastcheap, London, according to "English Emigrants to New England, 1620-1650". The identities of his parents have yet to be determined. He is known to have had a brother John who died in London before Hugh, Sr.'s will was written on 7 Oct. 1661. According to the birth date of their oldest known child Hugh, Jr., Hugh, Sr. and Ursellah were married about 1619. They likely lived for some period of time in Dorking since their sons were baptized at St. Martin's Church in that town and wife Ursellah died and was buried there on 3 Oct. 1628.

Hugh Burt, Sr. then married Ann (Holland) Bassett, the widow of Roger Bassett, about 1628 or 1629 in Dorking. It is believed that they had no children. However, Ann had one son (William Bassett) by her previous marriage who was also baptized at St. Martin's Church in Dorking. Hugh Burt, Sr., his wife Ann, William Bassett and Edward Burt registered as passengers on the ship "Abigail" on 17 June 1635 and Hugh Burt, Jr. registered on the same ship on 1 July 1635. This family first settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Soon afterward, however, they moved to Lynn, MA where Hugh Burt was given 60 acres of land in 1638 and his name appears often in the earliest records of that town. In 1644, Hugh Burt and Samuel Bennett were "presented by ye grand Jury for common sleepers in time of service" and fined two shillings sixpence each.

113 From "The Pioneers of Massachusetts", by Charles Henry Pope (1900), the following information (and much of the other information for this family) is taken: In 1646, Hugh Burt, Sr. gave a letter of attorney to receive of Susan, widow of Thomas Burt (relationship not given) of Dorking, Co. Surrey, cordwinder, 20 pounds as per his will with annuities for two years, with legacies to Hugh, Jr. and Thomas Burt. The son Hugh, Jr. died in 1650 appointing his father as overseer.

On 26 Mar. 1661, Hugh Burt, Sr. testified in court held at Ipswich, MA that he was "aged 70 or thereabouts and had lived in Lynn about 25 years". His will was dated 7 Oct. 1661 and he died in Salem on 2 Nov. 1661. In his will he mentions "2 accors of Salt marsh in the Last devision in Rummy marsh which I bought of Timothye Cooper" which he left to William Bassett. He also left William Bassett "and his heires for ever five accors of upland lyeing amongst Henrye Collins land which I bought of Robt. Mansfield which is yet undevided". Also in the will, "I acquitt my sonn Edward Burtt of all monyes that hee received of mine in England of all debts whatever & alsoe I give unto my sonn Edward Burtt all my right & interest in any houseing or Land in London that came to mee by my brother John Burtt deceased".

Hugh Burt's widow Ann is assumed to have been one of the first to be accused of witchcraft in Salem Court in 1669 and records of these court proceedings have been preserved (see notes under William Bassett). She was referred to as an "auld wich" and "old goody burt" in testimony of seven residents of Salem who accused her of a variety of sinister activities. The Quarterly Court Records of Salem give no indication that any action was taken against Widow Burt as a result of these ridiculous charges. Ann Burt's will was dated 8 June 1664 and she died on 7 Mar. 1673. It is likely that she died in Salem since that is where her will was filed

Child of Hugh* Burt and Ursellah is: 639 i. Sarah Burt, born Abt. 1624 in Surrey County, England; married William* Bassett.

1328. Samuel* Fogg, born January 01, 1627/28 in Theydon Gamon, Essex, England; died April 16, 1672 in Hamton, Rockingham County, New Hampshire. He was the son of 2656. John Fogge and 2657. Mary Legate. He married 1329. Anne Shaw November 12, 1652 in Hampton, Rockingham County, New Hampshire. 1329. Anne Shaw, born June 06, 1636 in Cambridge, Middlesex County, New hampshire; died December 09, 1663 in Hampton, Rockingham County, New Hampshire. She was the daughter of 2658. Roger* Shaw and 2659. Anne.

Notes for Samuel* Fogg: Fogg, Samuel born 1-1-1628, Theydon Garnon, Essex Co., Eng., son of John Jr. and Mary Legate Fogg; m1st Oct. 12, 1652 in York County, Maine, Anne Shaw who died Dec. 9, 1663. He married 2nd Dec. 28, 1665 in Hampton, NH Mary Page (born 1644 in Hampton, died Mar. 8, 1700 there), daughter of Deacon Robert and Lucy Wood Page. He died April 16, 1672 in Hampton, Norfolk County and his Jan. 9, 1671 will was probated Aug. 8, 1672 with an inventory of L240. They were probably buried in Pine Grove Cemetary but their gravestones are not there now. In 1646 he was apprenticed to his uncle, John Legate and in 1647 (with 5 years to serve) to William Fuller of Hampton. Samuel sued Fuller for not teaching him the locksmith trade and Samuel was "bound over to expert locksmith Isaac Cosen of Rowley for the remaining period". He was a Hampton proprietor in 1650, a freeman Oct. 3, 1654 and a selectman 1655/63. In 1658 he recieved several land grants and bought Capt. Christopher Hussey's original homestead at Bride's Hill, the Anthony Emery place of 1893; the large farm has never been conveyed by deed but has passed down from generation to generation by virtue of the original grant. He belonged to the Congregational Church. Mary joined in May 29, 1698. He was a constable in 1660. Samuel had five children by Anne and Three by Mary, all born in Hampton. ADDENDA: There was another (?)Samuel Fogg who according to one source came in 1630 with his brother, Ralph, from Exeter, England on the "Arabella" (formerly the "Eagle") with Winthrop's Fleet to Plymouth, Mass. The brothers settled in Boston then moved to Exeter, NH where Samuel was an oringinal proprietor(1638). He married June 23, 1659 Sarah Carrier, daughter of Richard Carrier. Ralph became a freeman Sept. 3 1634 and in 1637 went to Salem where he held several town offices, including that of treasurer. In 1644 Ralph was in the Artillary Co. and in 1652 he returned to England because he was refused license to keep an "office of intelligence and money exchange". He became a livery man in Skinner's Company in London. The surname Fogg(e) is of Welsh origin. Fogg genealogies trace the possible line of descent through royalty via Catherine Parr, the 6th and last wife of Henry VIIIth, to Ortho Fogge, c. 1272. Clemem's "Marriage Records Before 1699"gives the dates and places of Samuel Fogg's marriages to Anne Shaw

114 and Mary Page (as well as his son Samuel Jr.'s marriage to Hannah Marston). Savage's "Genealogical Dictionary of New England" states that our Seth (the father of the Rev. Jeremiah) was the son of Samuel of Hampton and Sarah Carrier Fogg. If so, then it was another Samuel Fogg who married Mary Page. Could it be that our Samuel married 1st Ann Shaw and that she died after July 15, 1658 when son John was born and that Samuel married 2nd Sarah June 16, 1660 and Mary (born May 1, 1662) and that Sarah died after Mary's birth and that Samuel married 3rd Mary Page on Dec. 28, 1665 who was the mother of Seth (born Nov. 28, 1666). If so, the Anne Fogg who died Dec. 9, 1663 was not Ann Shaw Fogg but rather, most likely, an unrecorded daughter of Samuel and Ann Shaw, born perhaps early in 1655 and that Anne Shaw Fogg's death was unrecorded.

Samuel was baptized on 01-01-1629 in Theydon Gamon, Essex, England according to the current calender. The New Year began in England on March 25th until 1751. He signed a will on 01-19-1671 in Hampton, N.H. The will can now be seen at the Court House in Salem, Mass. It appears to be signed by his own hand - Samuell fogge.

At probate Ralph Allen and William Newland testified that the testator named his wife Katheren sole executrix, with Ralph Allen and Richard Bourne as overseers. The inventory, taken Sept. 22, 1648, totalled 44:I6:0, of which more than one half represents the value of cattle. Many carpenter's tools are mentioned and the share "in Plymouth barque" is appraised at 3 pounds, with the notation "Receved of this 1pd:7sá" (Ply.Col.Wills and Inv., Boston, 1:84). An exact list of his children is impossible to supply. Bowden's History of the Society of Friends in America (I850), in describing the start of Quakerism in Sandwich in 1657, states that Ralph Allen and six brothers and sisters were among the first "convinced" and that "the father of the family, who had been an Anabaptist, and had also entertained a conscientious scruple against judicial swearing" had died before Friends visited that vicinity. George Allen, the immigrant ancestor of many of the Allen families found in America today, arrived in Massachusetts Bay Colony from England on 6 May 1635. His name, along with the names of those he came with (106 in all), was found on a list of passengers who departed Weymouth, England for America on 20 March 1635. Unfortunately, the name of the ship they traveled aboard has never been determined. This party, which was under the leadership of the Rev. Joseph Hull, was granted leave to settle at Wessaguscus Plantation on 8 July 1635 by the General Court at Boston. Wessaguscus was soon given municipal rights, at which time it was renamed Weymouth, and its inhabitants were allowed representation in the General Court at Boston.

George Allen is believed to have been born in either Somersetshire, or Dorsetshire, England. Lending support for this belief is the fact that the Rev. Hull and many of the other families that emigrated with George were from one of these shires. Although George Allen is known to have married twice while still residing in England, the name of his first wife has not been determined. His second wife, however, was a woman named Katherine. Katherine accompanied George to America, and is believed to have been the mother of at least five of his children. According to the list of passengers making up the Hull party, Katherine was thirty years old in 1635, thereby indicating that she had probably been born in about 1605 in England.

(Note: Although one commonly sees postings and family write-ups that indicate that our George Allen is the George Allen who married as his second wife, Katherine Slarkes, on 5 November 1624 in All HallowsChurch, Honey Lane, London, I know of absolutely no documentation that would support that this is the same George. On the contrary, there is fairly strong evidence that indicates that this George was still in London, England as late as 1640, when he is mentioned in his brother, Henry's, will. In addition, it has also been accepted by some that our George Allen was the son of John Allen of Saltford in Somersetshire, England. As with the above assertion, there is absolutely no evidence that I know of to substantiate this. There is,however, strong evidence that indicates that this George was still residing at Saltford in 1638, when he was involved in a court case regarding tenements in the Tything of Saltford. By 1638, our George Allen was already well established at Sandwich on Cape Cod. Aside from the fact that a person named George Allen was identified in both cases, any connection to our George Allen appears to be more conjecture than reality.)

Although no records have been found to verify it, shortly after settling at Wessaguscus (Weymouth), George and his family may have moved to the village of Saugus, Massachusetts (now Lynn,Massachusetts). In 1637/38, however, George and his family again moved, this time to the newly organized settlement in New Plymouth Colony of Sandwich on Cape Cod. George, who was a farmer by trade, was recommended for "freeman" status in New Plymouth Colony on 5 March1638/39, and was later admitted as such on 3 September 1639. George was subsequently sworn in as the Constable of Sandwich on 4 June 1639,and served as Surveyor of Highways in 1640. He also served as a Committeeman for the New Plymouth Court in 1640, 1641, 1642, and 1644.

George apparently died during the last part of April 1648 at Sandwich, New Plymouth Colony, as he was

121 subsequently buried there on 2 May1648. His will was probated before the New Plymouth Court on 7 June1648. One year later, on 8 June 1648, Katherine furnished an inventory of George's estate to the New Plymouth Court. Sometime after George passed away, his widow, Katherine, married for a second time to a man named John Collins, who was a shoemaker in Boston.

Although the identities of all of George's children have never been determined beyond doubt, the names of eight children have been verified through various documents. In addition to these eight, it is highly probable that three other individuals, namely John, Robert, and Francis Allen, are also sons of George. Aside from those children that are known and very probable, some researchers also believe that the Joan Allen who married Clement Briggs at Dorchester in 1630/31,and the Joshua Allen who married Mary Crowell at Yarmouth in 1671, are also George's children.

Notes for Dr. Daniel* Wills: [Master File.ftw]

Dr Daniel Wills of Northamptonshire, England, the progenitor of the Wills family, came to Burlington, NJ in the ship KENT, in 1677, and was among the first settlers at Burlington. He was one of the London Commissioners. He located his claim of 600 acres on the "Rancocas River", and named the township after the place he lived in England.

122 Dr Daniel Wills early embraced the religious tenants as set forth by George Fox, and was several times imprisoned in Northampton gaol for holding meetings in his house according to the established order of Friends. He appears to have been a man corresponding to the title he bore, and was probably as well read up in his profession and as well qualified to practice the healing art, as any of his contemporaries. His outfit, still in possession of some of his descendants, comprising surgical instruments, a large work on Materia Medica, called "Herbal" (remedies greatly in vogue in his day), and his medicine chest, indicate that he was prepared for any emergency that might arise. from "Richard Haines and his Descendants", copied 3/92 Salt Lake City,Ances of Haines Etc p 275f, p319 "Dr Daniel Wills and Mary. his second wife, arrived from England on the ship 'Kent' in 1677 and settled for a time in Burlington. He was one of the Commissioners appointed by the Proprietors of West Jersey to purchase land from the Indians and establish a form of government under the "Concessions and Agreements" He purchased 500 acres on the North side of the Rancocas, plus another adjoining 300 acres for his son Daniel and for George Elkinton. Dr Daniel Wills was a direct descendant of Alfred the Great. and was one of the most influential men in the early history of Burlington County. He was a signer of the "Concessions and Agreements" and served for many years on the Governor's Council and in the West Jersey Assembly."* *Moorestown and Her Neighbors, 1929, George DeCou

Shinn, Josiah H., The History of the Shinn Family in Europe and America, Chicago, Ill.: Rand, McNally & Co., 1903, p. 72: "The elder Daniel Wills was one of hte proprietors, and one of the Commissioners sent from England to divide the lands. He came with a large family and many indentured servants, who afterwards became leading citizens in the Colony. As Commissioner, he with his fellow Commissioners purchased the Indian rights from the Rancocas to Timber Creek, laid it out in parcels suitable for purchasers, and administered the government of the Colony according to the Concessions and Agreements. As a Commissioner of the London Company he with three men located the London Tenth at Arwaumus, where Gloucester now stands. He was afterwards chosen a member of the Govenror's Council, which position he dignified and adorned. He himself took up large quantities of land in Northampton Township, which was so named in honor of Northampton, England, from which Daniel Wills had emigrated. In 1681 he was Surveyor General of the Province. In 1698 he went to the Barbados upon business, where he died, leaving a will."

From Genforum:

Many "Friends" came to the colonies, even to Virginia and New England before Penn. Billy Penn was a late comer, receiving his charter in 1781 and sailing on the "Welcome" in September 1682. Our ancestor, Daniel, beat Penn by five years bringing his family to West Jersey in the "Kent" in the summer of 1677. He was one of two doctors among this first ship load of 230 Quaker colonist. King Charles II saw them off personally. (Hoping to make a profit?) Daniel Wills was one of the London Commissioners who bargained with the Leni Lenape for their land. He claimed 600 acres on the "Rancocas River" and named the township Northampton for his home shire in England. The principle town was Bridlington (now Burlington). He practiced medicine and served in government. He made his will 1st month (March) 25 1698 before sailing to Barbadoes to setle his brother William's estate. While there he took sick of a virulent disease he was not prepared to cure and died.

Notes for Edward* Buckman: [Master File.ftw]

After 1641, the name Buckman does not appear in the Billingshurst parish registers until the last half of the nineteenth century. Either the Buckmans all became Quakers or moved away or died out in Billingshurst. After Edward's death, his widow Joan emparked with her son William and his family on the "Welcome" to come to America. However since she has never been found in any American records, it is assumed that she died of smallpox on the voyage.

The Buckman Family had come to Pennsylvania in 1682 on the "Welcome" ship with William Penn. Joan Bagham Buckman, widow of Edward Buckman was a passenger along with her daughter, Ruth, three sons, William and his wife Sarah; Thomas and Edward, Jr. , plus three grandchildren, Thomas, Mary and Sarah (William's children).

They had set sail on July 20, 1682 on what was to become a famous voyage with a famous man. Small pox broke out on the ship and half of those on board died at sea. It is believed that William Penn was immune, having had the disease as a young man. The Buckman family was the largest family group on board. This family of nine brought 2000 pounds of luggage; they had a private cabin, suggesting they were a family of wealth. There exists a verbatim list of all the items they shipped. They brought linen table cloths and napkins, pewter dishes, cherry wood furniture, including several beds; all the Senior Buckman's carpentry tools and building supplies; non- perishable food for the crossing and enough clothing to last each one a lifetime. There were hats and capes for the women; suits, shoes and hundreds of pounds of linen wearing apparel; curtains, pillows, brass cookware and every thing was packed in chests, baskets, tubs, sacks and coolers.

Before leaving England, the Buckman Family purchased, from William Penn, land in Bucks County, at Newtown. It was in the names of the three brothers, William, Edward and Thomas. Historians agree that the young brothers, Edward and Thomas died of small pox before reaching Pennsylvania. William's 7 year old son Thomas, was also a casualty. Most historians believe that the mother, Joan Bagham Buckman also died at sea. However, this writer believes that Joan did survive, arriving on the Pennsylvania shores and lived a few years.

The Welcome Ship sailed up the Delaware River on October 28, 1682 and many families spent the first winter in abandoned Indian caves at Fallsington awaiting spring weather before setting out to locate their purchased land. In early 1683, William, Sarah and their daughters, Mary and Sarah went north to Newtown to claim their land. Ruth Buckman stayed in Fallsington. If her mother were not alive, surely she would have gone north to claim her portion of the land? In the year 1683, William Penn granted Ruth Buckman 50 acres of land (recorded at the Land Office in Harrisburg). It seems logical that Ruth stayed with her elderly Mother, on this acreage of land. The Swedes had occupied this area for several years just prior to 1680, abandoning it about the time the Welcome Ship arrived. The good homes built by these Scandinavian people would have served well as a residence for Ruth and her mother.

Ruth attended a wedding in 1685 at Pennsbury Manor (home of William Penn.) It must have been at this occasion she met Richard Harrison. Their names are included in the guest list, as is customary at Quaker marriages. There

124 is no formal record of a courtship between the two young people, but in the following year, Ruth is living in Nottingham, a New Jersey community across the River from her former Fallsington home. There is no mention of her mother; so it is assumed that Joan was no longer living.

Margaret Aldrich, born Abt. 1600 in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, England; died August 23, 1634 in Lynn, Southampton, LI, NY.

Notes for Thomas* Sayre: [Master File.ftw]

In 1667 he gave five acres to each of his four sons There was a family tradition that Thomas Sayre was emplyed by the English mint prior to his emigrating, but there are no recods extant to that tradition. He immigrated to Lynn,Massachusetts sometime before 1638, at which point he first appears on the town records as proprietor of 60 acres, his brother Job Sayre also with 60 acres. Lynn was founded in 1629, so it is possible he may have been there earlier than 1638. In 1639, he, along with his brother and six others, undertook to form a new colony on Long Island. To that point in time six other colonies had been formed by people leaving Lynn to strike out as pioneers. The small group, which intended to form a colony with eventually twenty families bought a sloop for eighty pounds, with the Sayre brothers contributing 5 pounds each. They sined the boat over to one of their number, David Howe, a sailor, in exchange for his agreeing to use the sloop to convey belongings and people three times a year over the next two years. By May of 1640, they had sailed down Long Island Sound and lande at present day Manhasset, at the head of Cow Bay, or Schout's Bay, as the Dutch called it.

What transpired at this point is recorded by BANTA in his history of the Sayre family, drawing on Howell's History of Southampton and the New York Colonial Documents in Volume II, ppages 144-150. It seems that the pioneer Puritans had little regard for the Dutch rule at New York, and by landing at Schout's Bay, they had sought to challenge it. The land they first set foot on had been sold by the local Indian Sachem, or chief, to the Dutch, but the intrepid little grou paid little heed to the arms of the Prince of Orange that the Dutch had erected on a tree there. Indeed, they tore it down and replcaed it with"an unhandsome face...being a criminal offence against his Majesty". to quote the Comminary,Van Curler, who had been sent out to investigate the report of the Sachem that "some foreign strollers "were building houses on the Dutch land. "...emigrated to America, and we have the first record of him at Lynn,Mass., 1638, he later was one of thr founders of Southampton,LI., and the house erected by him there, in 1648 is stillstanding (1907): he was one of the most active and prominent men of affairs, taking part in all affairs of importance; the name of his wife is unknown. he d, 1670.

On 10 June 1637 "portions of grass and meadow" were laid out to several men, including "our neighbor James" [PrTR 1:4]. (This may be the same meadow referred to on 8 October 1638 by Roger Williams [PrTR 3:90] and mentioned on 29 August 1640 as having been "laid out the last year" to five persons, including Thomas James [PrTR 1:108].) In a deed dated 23 November 1663 John Whipple describes a boundary as "a home share of land formerly belonging unto Thomas James (formerly an inhabitant of the aforesaid town of Providence) but now in the possession of John Throckmorton" [PrTR 3:98]. On 8 October 1638 Thomas James became one of the original "13 proprietors of Pautuxet" [PrTR 4:73, 14:274, 15:31, 236].

On 20 March 1639/40 "Thomas James of Providence sold to William Field of Providence his lands, rights and privileges in Providence" [Chapin 1:109, citing Field Papers 3 at Rhode Island Historical Society]. On 9 February 1645 William Field of Providence sold to William Carpenter land "lying between the top of the hill and the fresh river called Pautuxett River at Pootatugock ... which I bought of Thomas James, John Throgmorton and Thomas Olney" [PrTR 14:64]. On 27 March 1665 William Field of Providence sold to "Zachary Roades of Pautuxet" two shares in "the neck of land called the long neck lying below the falls at Pautuxet" and "a little island circumferenced with part of Pautuxet River, being called the vineyard, ... which said shares did formerly belong unto ...

On 3 November 1639 it was "ordered that Mr. James shall have Francis Parrott's lot" in New Haven [NHCR 1:24]. On 23 October 1640 it was "ordered that Mr. James shall have his meadow at the lower end of the Neck" [NHCR 1:43]. (These same two orders were recopied a few years later, with the added description of "Mr. James" as "sometime an elder in the Bay" [NHCR 1:197].)

In the survey of New Haven households and estates carried out about 1640 "Tho[mas] James sen." had a household of five and an estate valued at £200, but with no assessment. He had twenty-two and a half acres in the first division, four and a half acres in the neck, twelve and a half acres of meadow, and fifty acres in the second division [NHCR 1:92].

On 2 October 1649 "Thomas James passeth over to Richard Hull" six acres and a quarter of meadow, five acres and a half and twenty rods of upland in the Yorkshire quarter, five acres and a half and twenty rods in another location, and "half his propriety in his second division, not yet laid out." On the same day he sold to Robert Johnson "the same proportion of meadow and upland as before expressed to Richard Hull [NHCR 1:487].

On 5 February 1655/6 "Mr. Wakeman by order from Thomas James passeth over to Thom[as] Johnson the house and home lot of the said Thom[as] which is over against Mr. Wakeman's lot" [NHTR 1:267]. In his will, dated 5 February 1682[/3] and proved 13 February 1683[/4], "Thomas James of Needham Market, clerk," bequeathed to "my son Thomas James of Easthampton in Long Island in New England in case he be living at the time of my death, all my books and such of my household goods and clothes as can or may conveniently be sent over thither, but in case my son Thomas shall not be living ... the same shall be equally divided amongst all my grandchildren or great grandchildren"; "my messuage in Needham Market wherein I dwell shall be sold and the monies arising therefrom" given to "Mr. John Fairfax £5"; to "Mr. Paul Brooke Senior £5"; "Elizabeth Frewer widow now with me £10 ... and she to occupy my house for one year after my decease"; £10 to be paid to the binding out of three poor widow's lads in the town of Needham provided the said widow Frewer's lad be one of the three, out of the affection the inhabitants have born to my son in my affliction"; £10 to the executors; residue to "my son Thomas if living"; "£3 to the poor of Needham"; executors Edmund Fernly, gent. and Paul Brooke, clothier [Waters 1356- 57, citing Ipswich Wills, Archdeaconry of Suffolk].

128 BIRTH: Baptized Boston, Lincolnshire, 5 October 1595, son of John and Alice (_____) James [TAG 11:26-27, 99].

DEATH: Needham Market, Suffolk, between 5 February 1682[/3] (date of will) and 13 February 1683[/]4 (probate of will).

MARRIAGE: (1) Fishtoft, Lincolnshire, 20 April 1620 Olive Ingoldsby, daughter of Anthony and Dorcas (Bulkeley) Ingoldsby [TAG 11:27, 145]; she apparently died by 22 April 1627, the date of her father's will, which names her children by Thomas James, but not her [TAG 11:210-11]. (2) By 1632 Elizabeth _____, who evidently predeceased him, since she is not provided for in his will.

CHILDREN:

With first wife i THOMAS, b. about 1622; m. (1) by about 1648 Ruth Jones, daughter of Rev. John Jones (eldest child b. about 1648 [TAG 11:29-30]; in will of 17 January 1664[/5] Rev. John Jones bequeathed to daughter Ruth James [FOOF 1:344]); m. (2) 2 September 1669 Katharine Blux, widow [TAG 11:29; SoTR 2:53; FOOF 1:327-29]. ii JOHN, b. by 1627 [TAG 11:210-11]; d. soon.

ASSOCIATIONS: Rev. Thomas James was the brother of Mary (James) Mellowes, wife of Oliver Mellowes, who resided in Braintree. The first wife of Rev. Thomas James was daughter of Rev. Anthony and Dorcas (Bulkeley) Ingoldsby, which brought him into the large kinship network centering on the Bulkeleys, several of whom came to New England [TAG 11:26-30, 98-101, 143-45; Bulkeley Gen 14-36].

COMMENTS: On the passenger list of the William & Frances the first entry is the unlikely name of "Thomas Thomas" [Hotten 149]. It has been suggested by several authors that this hides both THOMAS WELD and Thomas James, both of whom would have been evading the dockside authorities, and the former of whom is known to have been on this ship [WJ 1:93].

Dorothie Wooll of Clipsham, Rutland, widow, bequeathed in her will of 16 December 1636, among other gifts to "friends in New England," £5 to "Mr. James" [NEHGR 76:79, citing PCC 37 Goare].

"Mr. Tho[mas] James" was admitted an inhabitant of Charlestown in October 1632 "shortly after whose arrival the inhabitants of this town that were members of the church that removed from hence to Boston, were now dismissed" in order to organize a church at Charlestown [ChTR 7; WJ 1:112]. James was in the lists of Charlestown inhabitants dated 9 January 1633/4 and January 1635/6 [ChTR 10, 15].

In late March 1634 Winthrop reported that "Satan ... stirred up a spirit of jealousy between Mr. James, the pastor of Charlton, and many of his people, so as Mr. Nowell, and some others, who had been dismissed from Boston, began to question their fact of breaking from Boston, and it grew to such a principle of conscience among them, as the advice of the other ministers was taken in it, who, after two meetings, could not agree about their continuance or return" [WJ 1:51]. On 11 March 1635/6 Winthrop further stated that some "occasions of difference had fallen out between the church of Charlton and Mr. James, their pastor.

The teacher, Mr. Simmes, and the most of the brethren, had taken offense at diverse speeches of his (he being a very melancholic man, and full of causeless jealousies, etc.) for which they had dealt with him, both privately and publicly; but, receiving no satisfaction, they wrote to all the neighboring churches for their advice and help in the case, who, sending chosen men (most elders) they met there this day, and finding the pastor very faulty, yet because they had not proceeded with him in a due order - for of the two witnesses produced, one was the accuser -

129 they advised, that, if they could not comfortably close, himself and such as stood on his part (if they would) should desire dismission, which should be granted them, for avoiding extremities; but if he persisted, etc., the church should cast him out" [WJ 1:217].

Although the final resolution of this controversy is not known, Thomas James soon left Charlestown and settled at Providence. About 1639 he wrote from there to Governor John Winthrop, with two requests: first, "if a place called Seaconke be in your patent ... I may have liberty (if God give me a calling) to have your favorable allowance and sit under your gracious protection"; and second, "that I may obtain so much as common equity and natural justice requireth ... [and] that I never be punished in any kind causa inaudita [i.e., without being heard] before I am convicted or have liberty to speak for myself in a judicial way" [WP 4:89-90]. James was not called to Rehoboth, but soon removed to New Haven, where he had travelled late in 1639 [WP 4:160].

In September 1642 a letter was sent from several persons in Virginia to the authorities in Boston, requesting that "a supply of faithful ministers" be sent to them. On 7 October 1642 William Thompson of Braintree, John Knowles of Watertown and Thomas James of New Haven were sent on the mission, from which Knowles and James returned the following year [WJ 2:93-94, 115-16]. (Hubbard also described this mission, relying largely on Winthrop [Hubbard 190-91, 410-11].)

Thomas James had apparently also studied medicine, for in describing to Governor John Winthrop the murder of an Indian by four Englishmen in the summer of 1638, Roger Williams noted that "Mr. James and Mr. Greene endeavored, all they could, his life; but his wound in the belly, and blood lost, and fever following, cut his life's thread" [WP 4:49]. In Bradford's version of this episode Roger Williams "took Mr. James, a physician, with him. The man told him who did it, and in what manner it was done; but the physician found his wounds mortal and that he could not live, as he after testified upon oath before the jury in open court. And so he died shortly after, as both Mr. Williams, Mr. James and some Indians testified in court" [Bradford 300].

In discussing the Indian deed for Providence, William Harris stated that Thomas James had been the scrivener who prepared the document, and described him as "a man of learning and wisdom ... once pastor of the church at Charlestown" [Chapin 1:103].

On 16 March 1645/6 "Mr. James" was included in a list of men who "upon their request & their occasions being known to the [New Haven] court, had leave for to depart the court" [NHCR 1:225].

130 come from the LDS Ancestral File.

A wealth of information is available in the January 1996 article "The Rev. John Jones of Fairfield, Connecticut" by Frederick C. Hart, Jr., as published in The American Genealogist (71:1). Some facts from that piece:

John matriculated at Queens College, Cambridge, England in 1608, received his B.A. in March 1611/12, and his M.A. in 1616. He was pastor at Abbot's Ripton, Huntington, England from at least 1621-1628, when his first six children were baptized there. The next three were baptized in London at St. Stephens in Coleman Street, between October 1631 and April 1635. The article has some interesting speculation on what John was doing in London.

In 1635 the family, except for Eliphalet who was not born yet, arrived in Boston, Massachusetts, on the Defence. John was the first pastor of the Congregational Church of Fairfield, Connecticut.

Notes for John* Packer: [Master File.ftw]

John was a very religous person. He was also an extremely well educated person. In addition to being Clerk of the Privy Seal, he was employed both in England and abroad by King James I and King Charles I as Secretary to several Ambassadors. All of this information was taken from a tribute to him given at Westminster Abbey by his son-in-law, John Browne

Note: Lineage . Educated at Westminster school and then matriculated at TrinityCollege, Oxford 13 Mar 1590 at age 17 where he graduated with a B.A. degree in 1594; also received a M.A. degree at Cambridge when he accompanied James I there in 1615; obtained a grant in reversion of a clerkship of the Privy Seal 11 Jul 1604; bought the manor of Groombridge from Lord Dorset in 1625 and Chilton Foliatt before 1629; he rebuilt Groombridge Chapel in gratitiude for the safe return of Charles, Prince of Wales, from Spain; Charles granted Packer at Charles' coronation, the manor of Shillingford in Berkshire; refused a request from Charles in 1639 for a loan, allying himself with parliament, with the result that all his property except Groombridge was confiscated by the Crown; died at his house in Westminster.

A SHORT HISTORY OF ST JOHN'S, GROOMBRIDGE The history of a church in Old Groombridge goes back to 1239 when William Russell and his wife Haweis were granted a charter to build the Chapel of St John the Apostle and Evangelist. This was a chantry, a small building within the moat of the manor house, consecrated for the saying of Masses for the souls of its benefactors. Lands were granted to Sir Robert, Rector of Speldhurst, to pay the stipend of the Chaplain performing this duty.

The present Church is built in the last stage of the Gothic style, known as perpendicular. It is a historic reminder of an event, more than three and a half centuries ago, when Prince Charles (later to be King Charles I) made a journey to Spain in disguise to try to persuade the daughter of the Spanish King to elope with him. The event caused great concern to the people of England who still had the memory of the Spanish Armada fresh in their

132 minds. At this time John Packer, Clerk of the Privy Seal to Charles I, was living in the manor at Groombridge and he vowed that if Charles returned safe from Spain he would build a chapel in his park as a thanks-offering to God. When Charles returned safe in both senses, unscathed and unmarried, the Chapel was built and finished in 1625 and this is recorded in the Latin inscription above the porch. Although there was still the small chapel inside the moat of the manor house, which served for the family and its retainers, the villagers had up until then had to go to Speldhurst for Sunday worship and for baptisms, weddings and funerals. So the building of the new Chapel made it much easier for the villagers to attend church. With the chapel went a piece of land as a burial-ground, and the registers show that the first person to be buried there was John Lee on 13th June 1633.

John Packer’s Church remained a private Chapel from 1625-1872, and for a time it became known as St Charles’ Chapel. In later years, after the last male member of the Packer family had died, the estate became vested in Chancery and the Chapel fell into disrepair. When William Camfield, a Tunbridge Wells builder, bought Groombridge Place in 1754 he “repaired and beautified” the chapel “from a very ruinous condition” and he then added his name to the Packer stone over the porch in letters twice as large as the original inscription. In spite of Camfield’s beautifying, by the beginning of the 19th century the building is described by Amsinck in his "Tunbridge Wells and Neighbourhood" (*see below) as in a wretched state of dilapidation. It was subsequently re-roofed. In 1872 the Church was officially consecrated and dedicated, as in ancient times, to St John the Evangelist. In 1895 a fire caused by lightning seriously damaged the east end. This was repaired but in 1912 it was found that the roof had not been properly supported and was weighing too heavily on the top of the wall and breaking up the window arches. Some of the buttresses, too, were separating from the walls they were meant to support. This was put right at the cost of £300, a large sum in those days.

One of the main attractions of this Church is its wealth of stained glass, which was mainly introduced in the latter part of the 19th century. Six of the eight large windows are the work of the celebrated Sussex artist, Charles Kempe, but also of special note is the centre light of the S.E. window, featuring the armorial bearings of the Packer family. This is the original glass, dating from the building of the Church.

Another glory of the chapel is the brass-work. There are four brass chandeliers hanging over the aisle, one of them said to be Flemish 17th century work and the others copies. Also of note are the decorative candlesticks around the walls, the oak pulpit and font and the many memorials. The clock at the west end is very old. It is one of the few remaining one-handed clocks in the country and the space between the figures is divided into four and not five. The date on the clock face is 1792 but the clock itself is much earlier.

* "In the hamlet of Groombridge, adjoining the mansion, and an appendage to the estate, is a chapel, in which the service of the Church of England is regularly performed ; apparently to the danger of the minister and his congregation : it being in a wretched state of dilapidation. This chapel, which was built in the year 1625, is whimsically dedicated by John Packer, Esq. the owner of this estate, in an inscription over the porch, to the happy return of Charles Prince of Wales, from his eccentric amorous expedition to Spain : a singular mode of perpetuating the remembrance of a wild exploit; which, however, if it is to depend on this memorial, will speedily pass into oblivion."

Notes for Roger* Shaw: [Master File.ftw]

Lived in Cabridge, MA in 1636. In 1647 he moved to Hampton and became a large land owner. a Legislator and Farmer the son of Ralph Shaw was born on the twenty-sixth day of August 1584, at London, England, and baptized on the first day of September. He married Ann her maiden name is not known, when is not known, at London. She was born in 1610, in London and died on the twenty-eighth day of January 1661, at Hampton, New Hampshire.

Roger was first mentioned in history as appearing at General Court (A term applied to the legislative body of the Massachusetts Colony) from Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1636. He bought two hundred acres of land and built his house on the south side of Arrow street, before agreeing to take the Oath of Freeman or Citizenship. Freeman in the early days of the colonies, held the right of franchise. No one was allowed that right without first becoming a member of the Church. The laws were made by a quorum of the "Assistants" or "Magistrates", sent out and commissioned by the "Company" in London, England, which held the charter. The law compelling church membership was passed by the "Assistants" in 1631. In 1676, five-sixths of the people of Boston were non-voters because they were not church members, and were thus shut out from any participation in the local government. It was customary however, for immigrants of the better class, those who went to church, to attend the General Court in person, for the purpose of buying grants of land and getting permission to settle in the town they had selected for their future residence. In 1639, he was drawn juryman. He knew that he was guaranteed a trial by jury only if he in return agreed to be a juror. He knew that trials by the people, were to be favored over a trial by the government, because they guard against oppression, abuse, and/or misuse of government power by officials. The following year was elected by the freeman to be their Town Clerk, at Cambridge. He was also elected to be their Selectman for the same town for the years 1641, 1642, 1643 and 1645.

Roger was found competent by the General Court to be installed Vintner, a person who sells wine, and Keeper of the Ordinary or Inn Keeper, at Hampton, New Hampshire, where he finally settled. This would seem to imply that he had some previous knowledge of the business. In 1650 he was empowered by General Court to sell wine or any sort of strong liquor to Christians and the Indians, as in his judgment shall seem necessary, on just and urgent occasions, and not otherwise.

The settlement of Winnacunnet, now Hampton, was authorized by General Court in 1638, and incorporated in 1639, Roger was one of the petitioners. In 1640, he bought of John Crosse land in the new town, the fifteenth day of November 1647, he obtained a grant of lands from Charles II (then king of Great Britain) which, included with his former purchase, constituted a large estate. In 1648, he moved to Hampton, selling his real estate in Cambridge, consisting of a house and two hundred acres of land, and settled on his first purchase.

Roger understanding that all power residing originally in, and being derived from the people, and that all the magistrates and officers of government, are their substitutes and agents, and at all times accountable to them, seems to have been a man of prominence among the early settlers, for from 1651 to 1653 he served as

135 Representative to General Court or General Assembly. He was elected by the freeman to be their Selectman in 1649 and 1654. He later filled many other important offices. The controversy arising from the occupancy of lands on the New Hampshire borders by authority of Massachusetts, was, in 1651, carried into General Court, and added much to the responsibilities of Representatives for that year, requiring unusual wisdom and ability. He was also the same year appointed "Commissioner for trying small cases." On the twenty-six day of September 1658, the town of Hampton appointed him first, to a Committee of three, together with the Town Clerk, to examine all grants and appointments of land, highways and such like, and to record the same in the new Town Book. On the ninth day of February 1659, the same committee was appointed to lay out and record convenient highways to men's land in the town and to allow satisfaction to the proprietors for the same according to their discretion.

Notes for Captain William* Marston: [Master File.ftw]

Captain William MARSTON, a Quaker, was one of the original founders of Hampton. His birth place was Ormesby in County Norfolk, England, where many of the other early Hampton settlers were born.

Patriarch of the New Hampshire Marstons, William was a Quaker. Later when the Puritan majority of Hampton outlawed other religions, he was persecuted again for his religious beliefs. Puritans later became known as First Congregationalists. MARSTONs are one of nine families recognized by Hampton in 1925 as original 1638 settlers who helped to found the town that year. The other 8 include their leader, Stephen BACHILER, and the families of GODFREY, MOULTON, PHILBRICK, PALMER, HUSSEY, SANBORN, and TUCK. The DRAKEs moved into town in 1651. Thirty-eight family stones have been placed around the 3 sides of Founders' Park bordered by Landing Road, Park Avenue and Cuss Lane in Hampton. The MARSTON and DRAKE stones stand together on the Landing Road side of the park..

William Marston was presumably born at Ormesby St. Margaret about the year 1590. With many of his family and neighbors he emigrated to New England in the early 1630's and settled in Salem, Ma. sometime in 1636 or 1637 together with his son Thomas. Each shared in the land grants offered to the new settleers. William Marston's family numbered five with Thomas at that time unmarried. 136 From Salem the Marston family are believed to have moved first to Newbury and then in 1638, with a group of neighbors from Ormesby, they went farther east to a place known as Winnecunnet, later incorporated as Hampton, and established a villiage settlement. In 1648 William Marston, referred to in evidence as "old Marston" sued Robert Lord for trespass on Hampton property. What the true issue was is not recorded. He appears to have sympathized with the Quaker faith, and in 1657 he was fined for possessing two books and a paper which taught the Quaker doctrine. Whether his dispute with Mr. Lord had any connection with his Quaker activities is not known. In 1663 he was fined for absenting himself from the orthodox services on many successive Sundays. He was a kind hearted, benevolent and godly man. Member of the Quaker, or Friends, church and suffered persecutions for his religious beliefs. He often harbored and aided his distressed and persecuted brethren, and was fined exhorbitant fees by zealous and bigoted courts. A document shows he was fined for "keeping a paper and two books which inculcated Quaker doctrines.

From Stearns' Genealogical and Family History of the State of New Hampshire, p. 430-432: "He came to Salem, Massachusetts, in 1634, with his family and probably his brothers Robert and John. He received a grant in 1636 from the general court and removed to Newbury the next year. He was one of the fifty-four proprietors of Hampton in this state in 1638, and passed the remainder of his life in that town. "

William was convicted by a Court for being supportive to Quakers, a sect much maligned, under a law enacted in 1656. From Dow, p. 56: The preamble to this law is in these words: "Whereas there is a cursed sect of haereticks lately risen vp in the world, wch are commonly called Quakers, who take vppon them to be imediately sent of God and infallibly asisted by the spirit to speak & write blasphemouth opinions, despising gouernment & the order of God in church & comonwealth, speaking evill of dignitjes, reproaching and retjling magistrates and ministers, seeking to turn the people from the faith & gaine proseljtes to theire pernicious waies, this Court, taking into serious consideration, &c." A prosecution was brought against William Marston, Sen., of this town, at the County Court held here, and he was fined £15 "for keeping two Quaker books and a paper of the Quakers." He afterward sent a petition to the General Court, praying for the remission of his fine, and, as the record states, "leaving himself at ye Court's mercy," acknowledging he hath transgrest ye law of ye Countrie." The court remitted one-third of the fine, on condition that the other two-thirds should be paid forthwith. Other extreme measures followed successively the order of 1656, as cutting off the ears, boring the tongue with a hot iron and banishment on pain of death. As time went on, and still the supposed heresy spread, the maddened government devised new tortures. In December, 1662, the following order was issued by Capt. Richard Waldron, of Dover, and was wholly in accord with the law of the land: "To the Constables of Dover, Hampton, Salisbury, Neubury, Rowley, Ipswich, Windham, Linn, Boston, Roxbury, Dedham, and until these vagabond Quakers are out of this jurisdiction: You and every of you are required in the King's Majesty's name to take these vagabond Quakers, Anna Colman, Mary Tompkins and Alice Ambrose, and make them fast to the cart's tail, and drawing the the cart through your several towns, to whip them upon their naked backs not exceeding ten stripes apiece on each of them in each town, and so convey them from Constable to Constable till they are out of this jurisdiction, as you will answer it at your peril, and this shall be your warrant." [The three women were subject to this punishment in Dover, Hampton and Salisbury, but were saved from further punishement by being helped out of the province by Walter Barefoot.]

Being past 21 years of age it is very probable that he had a grant of land from the General Court as did the other pioneers. Then he bought land from John Sanborn, May 25, 1645, and leased a house and lot from Robert Knight, which formerly belonged to Robert Marston, October 5, 1653. He became a man of high standing in Hampton, serving as selectman in 1649, -56, -64, -67, -70, -73 and 1680. While serving in this capacity he suffered arrest by William Salter, keeper of the Boston prison, on the claim that Hampton was liable for the board of one " goody " Cole, on trial for witchcraft. He was a deputy, or representative, to the General Court of Massachusetts in 1677, and to the General Court of New Hampshire in 1680 - 84.

Susanna Browne.

Notes for Deacon Robert* Page III: [Master File.ftw]

(c1604-1679) a Farmer the oldest of five children of Robert and Margaret Page was born about 1604, at Ormsby, England. He married Lucia Ward on the eighth day of October 1629, at South Walshan, England.

Robert and Lucia came from Ormsby, with William Moulton to Salem, Massachusetts in 1637. In 1639 they moved to Hampton, New Hampshire. In 1642, he agreed to take the Oath of Freeman or Citizenship. He was one of the most active, energetic and influential men of the town and was a member of its board of Selectmen and re- elected in the years 1647, 1652, 1655, 1667 and 1670.

In Hampton for the first twenty years the houses were built of logs, sawed lumber was used only to a very limited extent. What was cut could be cut with a whip-saw, though not without much labor. The first sawmill in the town was undertaken by Robert. The town granted him privilege to set up his mill at a convenient place on Taylor's river, and for his encouragement, they gave him a clump of pines on the North side of Mister Dalton's farm, and also allowed him to take timber from the commons, to saw, at his mill, for his own benefit. He, in consideration of the favor granted, gave the town a bond, in the sum of one hundred pounds, that he or his assigns would build the mill, and has it in readiness for sawing lumber "by Michaelmas come twelvemonth" (the twenty-ninth day of September 1658). He also agreed that he would then furnish boards for three shillings per hundred, as fast as he could, taking in payment any

Merchantable articles at the current price. It was provided, however, that no man should receive more than one thousand feet at a time, until every man, in need, was successively taken care of. This arrangement was confirmed by vote, at a town meeting, held on the twenty-sixth day of February 1657, and accepted by him. Not long after, the town by vote, extended the time for the completion of the mill, one year, on condition that the contractor would give up William Marston, the carpenter he had employed, so that the town might have his services in fitting up a house for the Reverend Timothy Dalton, he having sold his homestead to the church and town, for a parsonage.

Robert was elected by the freeman to be their Marshal of the old County of Norfolk in which Hampton was then include. In 1659, seventy-six persons were taxed, his taxes were the highest and amounted to one-twentieth of the whole sum. In the seating of the members of the church the front seat was considered the most honorable place and this seat was occupied by him, as he was Deacon in 1660 and until his death, and from the death of his colleague in 1671 he was the only Deacon of the church and was succeeded by his son Francis.

Notwithstanding the many offices which he filled, and the multiplicity of business which he performed, he was unable to write his name and always made use of a mark for a signature, it is believed that the mark was made with the left hand.

139 Robert died on the twenty-second day of September 1679, at Hampton. His will, was dated the ninth day of September, and probated on the eleventh day of November 1679.

Deacon Robert Page was the first of that name in Hampton, N.H. and came from Ormesby, Norfolk, England. He came to America with his first wife Lucy and four children in 1637. From records we learn that he was one of the most active and influential men in town as Selectman for many years, member of the general assembly, and deacon for twenty years. He helped build the first sawmill, and the parsonage. When 76 persons were taxed in 1659, he paid the highest tax

Notes for Lucy* Warde: [Master File.ftw] a Housewife the daughter of Francis and Susannah (Browne) Ward, sister of Thomas Ward was born about 1604, at Ormsby, England. She married Robert Page on the eighth day of October 1629, at South Walshan, England.

One of Lucy and Robert's favorite drinks was cider. The apples were first crushed. Once the apples had been crushed to a pulp, the juice was extracted using a cheese press. They wrapped the pulp in cloths to make cheeses and then stacked in the press. Their press had two side screws which supported a heavy block of wood. When the screws were turned by means of a long pole the block of wood was forced down on the stacked cheeses. This pressure squeezed out the juice, which was collected in a vat below.

Lucy then poured the juice into casks, and left there to ferment. She would add sugar or syrup because she could not cope with the extreme dryness of pure rough cider, called scrumpy by aficionados. When fermentation was in progress the cider is said to be hungry. They would take some of the cider outside in the winter and allow the cider to freeze. The water would turn to ice before the alcohol. By cutting a hole in the ice the alcohol could be poured out leaving an extremely potent brew.

Henry Dow

140 1634 - May 6, 1707 Dictionary of American Biography Edited by Allen Johnson & Dumas Malone, Vol. V, Page 409 Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1930. DOW, HENRY (1634-May 6, 1707), New Hampshire soldier and statesman, the second son of Joan and Henry Dow, was born at Ormsby in Norfolkshire. His father migrated with his family to Watertown in the colony of Massachusetts Bay in 1637, and was there admitted freeman on May 2, 1638. He removed to Hampton in 1644. Henry Dow, Jr., was without formal education but became an important and financially prosperous figure in the town of Hampton and the province of New Hampshire. He was chosen selectman in 1661 and several times reelected to that office. He served as town clerk from 1681 to 1707 (Joseph Dow, post, p. 565). He was admitted and sworn as an attorney in 1686 and thereafter represented the town in litigation. He was ensign of the Hampton militia in 1689, captain in 1692, and took part in the first and second intercolonial wars. Dow was sworn in as deputy marshal of the province of New Hampshire in 1680, captain in 1692, and took part in the first and second intercolonial wars.

Title: Memorial of John, Henry, and Richard Townsend and Their Descendants,1865. All three brothers were born in England but no one can prove their heritage as yet. John Townsend was a young man with a wife name Elizabeth when they arrived in New Amsterdam ca l640 along with John's brothers, Henry and Richard. John was a tanner and had a tanyard at the Collect (Fresh water) about where City Hall now stands in Manhattan. John and Elizabeth baptized their second son Thomas in the Dutch Reform Church, New Amsterdam in Dec. l642. His older brother John was probably born ca l640 but did not make the Dutch records. Henry Townsend was a witness to this baptism. The child died and on 9 April, l645,John and Elizabeth baptized a second son named Thomas in the same church with most of the same witnesses. According to a petition that the widow ElizabethTownsend filed with the Governor of New York (regarding the abandoned property in l643) there was an Indian War in l643 which nearly destroyed all of the Dutch settlement except for the old fort and Wall Street now marks the one wall. After two years, the then Dutch Governor, Willem Kieft, granted to the English speaking settlers a patent to what we now know as Flushing. While John Townsend is named, Henry and Richard are not named as they were single men and probably fall under the heading of "Associates" John did die at Oyster Bay and his widow wrote an estate settlement in which she named all of her children. Since John died intestate this was done at the requestof her two brothers-in-law to protect the rights of the children in case Elizabeth should remarry or suddenly die. Happily she did neither. The baptismal records were transcribed from the Dutch and belong to the NYG&B. Elizabeth's petition regarding the property she and John "first settled" appears in the first book of New York Deeds in the NY State Library in Albany.

Richard Townsend married Deliverance Coles, dau of Robert Coles at Providence Plantation, Warwick, R.I. She later died at Jamaica, Queens Co., NY and Richard returned to Rhode Island where he remarried to Elizabeth Weeks and then joined his brothers at Oyster Bay.

Henry Townsend married Anne Coles, dau of Robert Coles at Providence Plantation, Warwick, Rhode Island.

In l647/8 all three brothers went to Providence Plantation, Warwick, Rhode Island. Rhode Island deeds show that Henry and John began to sell off their lands and homesteads in R. I. in l654/5. Richard joined them and this time they settled in Jamaica, Queens Co., NY. None of the brothers were Quakers at the time of their coming to the new world. They were in this country long before George Fox founded what became the Society of Friends(Quakers). By now Willem Kieft has been recalled and Stuyvesant is the governor and Henry Townsend hit head on. What the Townsend brothers and the other English speaking settlers were protesting was the persecution of Quakers whom they saw as their countrymen and the methods of persecution used were "unGodly" The English speaking settlers also wanted an English sheriff and magistrates and neither Kieft or Stuyvesant were having any part of that idea. While many of the English speaking settlers signed the QUAKER REMONSTRANCE at Flushing, they remained low key. Not Henry. By l66l when Oyster Bay, then a part of the Colony of Connecticut, offered Henry the "Mill Grant" he took it. We can only guess that Henry by then thought it a smart move. Henry had held the Mill Grant in Rhode Island as well. John followed his brother to OysterBay. Richard lost his wife at Jamaica so he returned to Rhode Island, remarried and then rejoined his brothers at O.B. All three brothers died at O.B.

Henry did eventually become a Quaker. Quakerism remained in his descent for several generations. On the other hand, several of his descendents as close as grandchildren were educated at Princeton and were Anglican ministers. One unfortunately died on his way to Nova Scotia at the time of the Revolution. One of Henry's own sons died in Oneida, NY in l687 and he held a Military Commission. Among John's children, one might say half and half. Most of Richard's descendents were Anglican. Many pieces of genealogy have been missed because researchers failed to check the records of St. George's in Hempstead L.I. because they thought all Townsends were Quakers. There is no hard and fast rule about religion in these Townsends.

Margaret Persdotter Stille, born 1607 in Roslagen, Lanna socken, Uppland, Sweden; died 1687 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of 6686. Per Stille.

Notes for Mans* Svensson Lom: [Master File.ftw]

Mans Swensson Lom (Svensson Lom), freeman, had been a lieutenant before and came over on the "Charitas" in 1641. ("The Swedish Settlements on the Delaware, 1638-1664, Vol. II", by Amandus Johnson, page 712. In New Sweden, he became one of the first settlers of present Delaware County, where he settled with the Stille brothers on a tract called "Techoherassi" by the Indians. This was at present Eddystone, located on the Delaware River between Olof Stille's Creek (now Ridley Creek) and Crum Creek.

Although the surname of Lom died out by 1685, it is probable that Måns Svensson Lorn had more descendants than any other settler of New Sweden. He had nine children, fifty or more grandchildren and at least 250 great- grandchildren. When Andreas Rudman took his census of the Wicaco congregation in 1697, thirty percent (165)

146 of them were Lom's descendants.

Nothing is yet known about Lom's personal history prior to 1641. As he came to America with the Stille brothers (Olof and Axel) it is probable that he was also from Roslagen. That was the reported birthplace of his eldest daughter. The name of his wife is not found in any surviving record. Based on Swedish naming patterns, her name was probably Anna Petersdotter and it seems likely that she was the sister of Olof and Axel Stille, sons of Peter Stille of Roslagen.

Måns Svensson (the son of Sven) used the surname of Lom, pronounced "Loom" in Swedish and sometimes spelled that way. It means "loon" or "diver" and is typical of the kind of name assigned to a Swedish seaman.

Lom's name first appeared in New Sweden records on the passenger list of the Charitas, 3 May 1641, on the eve of that ship's departure from Stockholm on the first leg of its voyage to America. Listed right above the family of Olof Stille and the bachelor Axel Stifle was "Måns Svensson Lom, a tailor and formerly a lieutenant, who intends to begin agriculture in New Sweden. He has received 5 Riksdaler but otherwise no salary; he goes with his wife, two almost grown-up daughters and a little son."

In New Sweden, he became one of the first settlers of present Delaware County, where he settled with the Stille brothers on a tract called "Techoherassi" by the Indians. This was at present Eddystone, located on the Delaware River between Olof Stille's Creek (now Ridley Creek) and Crum Creek.

On 6 October 1646, during the war of words between Governor Johan Printz and the Dutch, Olof Stille and Måns Svensson Lom delivered one of the Governor's ultimatums to Andries Hudde, the Dutch commander at Fort Nassau. The account book of Hendrick Huygen, New Sweden's commissary, dated I March 1648, showed that Måns Svensson owed the New Sweden Company 274.17 guilders for his purchases from the company store.

Måns Svensson Lom probably died in 1653. On 27 July 1653, his two sons-in-law Peter Larsson Cock and John Wheeler and Olof and Axel Stille were among the 22 freemen submitting a petition of grievances to Governor Printz. Lom's name was conspicuous in its absence. On 9 June 1654, after the arrival of Governor Johan Risinor "Måns Lom's widow" was listed among the "old freemen" pledging allegiance to the new governor.

Arriving on the Eagle with Governor Rising, was Lars Andersson Collinus, a "münster" (minister's) scribe, who soon married Måns Lom's widow. In 1664, Olof Stille's family and the Lom family (with its new father-in-law) moved to Moyamensing on the Delaware River in present South Philadelphia. "Lasse" Andersson later became a justice on the Upland Court. After the creation of Pennsylvania, Lasse Andersson was "naturalized" by William Penn and joined other "antient Sweeds" in signing a deposition (for use against Lord Baltimore) establishing that the Swedes were the first permanent settlers in Delaware, which Baltimore claimed belonged to Maryland. The will of Lars Andersson Collinus, dated 17 July 1689, left his Moyamensing plantation to Michael Nilsson Laican and Andrew Wheeler, who were, respectively, a son-in-law and grandson of Måns Lom.

It is unknown when Lom's wife died. However, she was the mother of nine children:

Notes for John* Fogge: [Master File.ftw]

The surname FOGG is believed to be of Danish origin, the name FOGG iin England is of the greatest age. Its antiquity and its nationality almost perplexing. It is English as far as the history of England goes, and it is Danish and Welsh and Norman. The Domesday Book, compiled by commissioners appointed by William the Conqueror in 1086 states: "The FOGG'S are found as land owners in the Totula Hund redorum, or Hundred Rolls, prepared in 1273 by King Edward I on his return from Palistine." The name FOGG was known in Denmark before English was spoken in England. The Fogg family took it firmest hold in Kent County, England.

The form FOGG means: Meadow, Green Field.

Notes for Francis* Warde: [Master File.ftw]

Francis Warde and his family appeared to have left the parish of Filby shortly after the death of his mother in February 1609, and settled in the parish of Saint Mary in South Walsham about 8 miles to the west. Susanna died and Francis remarried on 23 August 1627 to Margaret (Denton) Holle. She was the widow of Robert Holle of North Walsham. Eventually they moved to Great Yarmouth which is 5 miles southeast of Filby and on the coast of the North Sea. His will names only those children who were then living in England. Two daughters and possibly a son had gone to New England and these were not mentioned. Note: "6 September 1645 - the will of Francis Ward of Great Yarmouth, county Norfolk, yeoman, being weak & sick in body...to Francis Ward of South Walsham my son, all my houses, messuages, lands & tenements in Great Yarmouth after the decease of Margaret my wife, conditional that he pay unto Susan my daughter £15, unto William Ward my son £10...Margaret my wife shall have all such goods & household stuff as were hers before marriage...residue to Margaret my wife for life, then to daughter Susan...other goods & chattels & money owing unto Francis Ward my son, he to be sole executor...Nicholas Lackington of Great Yarmouth, gentleman, to be supervisor...Witnesses: John Willcock, Thomas Jollir.

Notes for Ann* Warde: [Master File.ftw]

Anne arrived in Boston in June 1637 as a servant of her brother-in-law, Robert PAGE. GDMNH refers to Anne as Ann (WADD/NUDD?), a sister of Lucy, wife of Robert PAGE. See, also, Threllfall, John Brooks, "50 Great Migration Colonists to New England and Their Origins," [1990], pg. 218.

Notes for Col. Edward* Colcord: [Master File.ftw] 150 Edward was a witness "Wheelwright deed" in 1638. He was in Hampton in the 1640s. Among many other things, he was Stephen BACHILER's attorney in 1651. Additional source: Noyes/Libby/Davis, "Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire," (1939), pg. 154

In 1661 a petition was collected against him for barratry (starting frivolous lawsuits), for which he was arrested. However, he was employed on many occasions to gather evidence for court suits. In general, his manner of doing business often took him to court; if that did not create enough trouble for him, he earned more by appearing as attorney for various causes against local vested interest, including patent claims not seen as valid by the local settlers. On 4 NOV 1645 at Ipswich he was fined in court "for drinking wyne to the abuse of himselfe". Also on 12 FEB 1649 he was so "verrie far gone with drinke". He had numerous fines for excessive drinking and alcoholism over a period of years.

He must have learned the Indian tongue as Wheelwright employed him to make his purchase in 1638. At Dover he was Commissioner to end small causes, and in 1642 was Rep. to the General Court in Boston. Later he claimed to be agent of the patentees for collecting their rents in Dover( Hubbard called him apochryphal governor), and in 1647 Richard Cutt, Pickering and Nutter were appointed referees between Edward Colcord and the town of Dover. He had removed to Hampton in 1645, and was about then removed to Exeter. In 1651 he was bringing suits as attorney for Rev. Stephen Bachiler. In 1654 he was an owner in the Dover and Swampscot patents, and had bought James Wall's mill at Exeter, hiring it run by Anthony Day and Thomas Tyler the Indian. In 1661 he was arrested for barratry and petition was freely signed to shut him out of the courts. In 1676 he was employed by Major Waldron to collect evidence against the Mason claim and Aug 11 1681 in Boston prison, he was allowed 5lbs. for 33 days service of self and horse under orders of Gov. Leverett. One of the best, and to many most unfavorably, known New Englanders of his day, he spent his life looking for trouble, reckless of all manner of abuse, except when accused of picking a drunken man's pocket

[Note] [From Colcord Genealogy. Descendants of Edward Colcord of New Hampshire, 1630-1908, by Doane B. Colcord, 1908.] Pages 7-8: Edward Colcott, or Colcord, came to Portsmouth, N.H., from Hants County, England, about 1631, when he was fifteen years old. The name is derived from Cole, an old English name, and Cote or Cot, a cottage or house with lands adjoining. The Colcott "Crest" is a sitting lion ("lion sejant") collared and lined with the motto: "Dieu Avec Nous" beneath, which is a part of the coat of arms of the Earl of Berkeley -- conferred by authority. The first Earl of Berkeley was created in 1421 (Burke). His name was also spelled Colcote.

When Edward cam to Portsmouth, in 1631, "there were," he affirms, "but three houses in all that side of the country adjoining Pascataqua River."

He went to Exeter and resided in or near there until after 1638. He married Ann (e) Page and was in "Pasquatiquate," or Dover, in 1640, being 5th grantee in the list of the first grants given. He signed a petition for an independent government, sent to the King in 1642, and in 1643, June 14, was appointed "Magistrate" of Dover with two associates by the "Court of Mass." He returned to Exeter in 1644, and by "grants" and trading acquired lands in Dover, Exeter and New Market.

He was often engaged in litigation, a man of independent spirit who chafed under restraint, and loved adventure. He had many friends and not a few enemies. He raised a large family, the daughters marrying into some of the best of the colonial families, and becoming the mothers of the Dearborn, Hobbs, Fifield, Coffin, and Stevens families. His oldest son, Jonathan, died in his twenty-first year (1661) and his two remaining sons marched to Rhode Island in the King Phillips' War, in which Edward Jr., was slain by the Indians at North Hill, June 13, 1677; a young man of promise "whose death was greatly regretted."

Edward was now past 60 years old and Februrary 10, 1681-2, he died at Hampton, N.H., where all his children were raised.

From: HISTORY OF ROCKINGHAM COUNTY NEW HAMPSHIRE and Representative Citizens By Charles A. Hazlett -- 1915 Chapter XXXIV

HAMPTON

Edward Colcord settled here prior to 1645. A son, Edward, was killed by the Indians in that part of North Hampton known as "Pagetown." "Ould Edward Colcord died in 1681." His wife and family having been

151 abused by him, and fearful of their personal safety, had him confined in jail. He gave bonds to keep the peace, and was discharged. He and his wife Ann having complained of each other for fighting, were both bound over to keep the peace, April 22, 1686

He must have learned the Indian tongue as Wheelwright employed him to make his purchase in 1638. At Dover he was Commissioner to end small causes, and in 1642 was Rep. to the General Court in Boston. Later he claimed to be agent of the patentees for collecting their rents in Dover( Hubbard called him apochryphal governor), and in 1647 Richard Cutt, Pickering and Nutter were appointed referees between Edward Colcord and the town of Dover. He had removed to Hampton in 1645, and was about then removed to Exeter. In 1651 he was bringing suits as attorney for Rev. Stephen Bachiler. In 1654 he was an owner in the Dover and Swampscot patents, and had bought James Wall's mill at Exeter, hiring it run by Anthony Day and Thomas Tyler the Indian. In 1661 he was arrested for barratry and petition was freely signed to shut him out of the courts. In 1676 he was employed by Major Waldron to collect evidence against the Mason claim and Aug 11 1681 in Boston prison, he was allowed 5lbs. for 33 days service of self and horse under orders of Gov. Leverett. One of the best, and to many most unfavorably, known New Englanders of his day, he spent his life looking for trouble, reckless of all manner of abuse, except when accused of picking a drunken man's pocket.

5362. John* Wicks

Notes for John* Wicks: [Master File.ftw]

One of the original settlers of Warwick, Rhode Island. Forced to leavefor for not joining the authorities against the Quakers and others.

General History on Early Quakers in America: Friends made a most profound affect on the course of American history.The first Quaker missionaries arrived on America's shores in 1656, onehundred and twenty years before the signing of the Declaration ofIndependence. Mary Fisher and Ann Austin landed at Boston where thePuritan authorities had them seized and kept under close guard. Ahundred of their books were burned in the marketplace and they weredispatched to Barbados on the next departing ship. Their bedding andeven their Bibles were confiscated to pay the jailer's fee. ThePilgrim Fathers wanted religious freedom for themselves but offered itto no one else.

Friends were welcomed in Rhode Island which was founded as a havenfrom the intolerance of Puritan Massachusetts. So overwhelming was theresponse there that at one time half of the population were Friends,and the colony elected Quaker governors for thirty-six consecutiveterms--more than a century. Friends were also well received inMaryland. Lord Baltimore established the colony as a refuge forpersecuted English Catholics and was willing to give liberty ofconscience to others in religious matters. Spokespersons for theQuaker faith made some deep inroads into Virginia as well.

In 1657, a boatload of Quaker missionaries from England landed on LongIsland. One of them, Robert Hodgson, drew large crowds to hismeetings. He was arrested, imprisoned, flogged and treated veryseverely. At last some of the Dutch colonists interceded on his behalfand secured his unconditional release. Many continued to respond tothe Friends message in spite of a firm edict issued against it byGovernor Peter Stuyvesant. Finally on December 27, 1657, the citizensof Flushing drew up a magnificently worded protest reminding theirGovernor that their charter allowed them "to have and enjoy Liberty ofConscience according to the Custome and manner of Holland, withoutmolestation or disturbance." This came to be known as the FlushingRemonstrance. It was the first time that a group of settlers in theNew World petitioned the government for religious freedom. It wascommemorated in a United States postage stamp issued three hundredyears later.

Meanwhile the persecution of Friends in Puritan Massachusetts grewmore intense. Friends were lashed behind carts and whipped from townto town. They were branded with a "H" for heretic; they had theirtongues bored through with a hot iron; their ears were cut off; theywere banished. Finally Governor John Endicott succeeded in having thedeath penalty invoked for any Friends who returned to the colony afterbeing banished beyond its borders. Four Quakers were hanged on BostonCommon--William Robinson, Marmaduke Stephenson, William 152 Leddra andMary Dyer. She was the first woman to suffer death on these shores forher religious convictions. Today a statue of her stands on BostonCommon, a reminder to all that our religious freedom was bought at aprecious price.

In 1671, George Fox along with twelve others came to America andtrekked up and down the Atlantic Seaboard. In 1672, he and a WilliamEdmondson, who had already preached successfully in Ireland, becamethe first preachers who ever held any kind of Christian worship withinthe borders of the Carolinas. Later, John Archdale would become theQuaker Governor of the Carolinas and one-half of the representativesof the legislature were Friends.

The outbreak of persecution of Friends back in England again ledseventeen Quakers to purchase East Jersey to serve as a refuge whereFriends could practice their faith without interference. RobertBarclay, the brilliant young Scottish Quaker theologian, served asGovernor of the colony for a time.

Then, in 1681, William Penn accepted the grant of land which becamePennsylvania as the payment of a debt which King Charles II owed hisfather. The Duke of York, who later became King James II, threw in theterritory of Delaware in on the deal. Penn landed in his colony on thegood ship "Welcome" in 1682. He met with the Indians under the greatelm at Shackamason, the ancient meeting place of the tribes and madefriends with them. He purchased land from them at a fair price andconcluded a treaty with them that was agreeable to all. A centurylater the humanistic French philosopher, Voltaire, would observe thathis was the only treaty ever made between white men and the Indiansthat was never sworn to and never broken.

In his carefully worded Frame of Government for Pennsylvania Penn gavethe citizens both liberty and responsibility. He designed a governmentdedicated to religious freedom, to equality and peace. He laid outPhiladelphia as the first planned city in the New World. Pennsylvaniawas Penn's "Holy Experiment," his attempt to apply the Christianprinciples held by Friends to the practical business of government.The guidelines of the Frame of Government gave the citizens thefreedom to develop to the fullest of their potential and they and thecolony prospered. For decades Pennsylvania stood as a model to theworld of democracy, liberty and harmony.

Child of John* Wicks is: 2681 i. Elizabeth Wicks, born 1622 in Staines, Middlesex, England; died 1689 in Great Egg Harbor, Gloucester, New Jersey; married Richard* Townsend 1657 in Jericho, Queens, New York.

5366. William* Washburn, born November 09, 1601 in Bengeworth, Worcester, England; died October 30, 1658 in Hempstead, Long Island, NY. He was the son of 10732. John* Washburn IV and 10733. Martha Timbrell. He married 5367. Jane* Nichols 1621 in Bengeworth, Worchester, England. 5367. Jane* Nichols, born Bef. November 03, 1603 in Sedgeberrow, Worcestershire, England; died Aft. February 16, 1666/67 in Hempstead, Long Island, New York. She was the daughter of 10734. Francis* Nichols and 10735. Frances Wimarke.

Notes for William* Washburn: [Master File.ftw]

William Lived in Bengeworth, Engl at least until Dec 1637 when his dau. Martha (which was the second daughter by this name) was born. She was Baptized at St. Peter's in Bengeworth. He then probably moved to London for a while before emmigrating as he did own property in London at the time of his death. He was an inhabitant of Hempstead, Long Island, NY in 1654. He was a deputy of the town of Hempstead with John Seaman in 1653. In Hempstead, William Washburn is listed as the owner of nine and a half (?) Milk Cows. It seems he was only part owner of one of the cows. William Washburn's will was dated 29 Sep 1657 and it was probated on June 5, 1659. (Copy in Washburn Family Foundations... pages 95-97.) William was an Elder of the original Board of Elders of the old "First Church" of Hempstead, NY. William came to the United Colonies in the company of Mr. Leverich, first

153 minister at Sandwich on Cape Cod, not far from Duxbury, Mass. It is recorded that William Washburn, together with Mr. Leverich and others, purchased land at Oyster Bay in 1653. (the other purchasers were Thomas Armitage, Dan Whitehead, Anth. Wright, Rob. Williams, Joh. Washbourne and Ric. Holbrooke.) Dan Whitehead was the brother-in-law of William Washburn. John Washburn mentioned here is the son of William. William was in Hempstead as early as 1647.

The court record in Ft Amsterdam in New Netherland the 18 of Oct 1646 would indicate that William had been in America for some time. William was a patentee of Hempstead in 1647, and one of the joint purchasers (as was also his son John), of Oyster Bay, Long Island, in 1653.

Although actual documentary proof is lacking, there is very strong circumstantial evidence that he is the younger son of John Washbourne and brother of John, born 1597. "Washbourne Family of Little Washbourne and Wichenford" by James Davenport for this evidence, principally based on similarity of Christian names of parents and children, juxtaposition of dates, and the fact that there is no further record of this William Washbourne in England after 1637.

From Genforum:

The tie from William WASHBURN of Hempstead to the William WASHBORNE baptized in Bengeworth, Worcester Co., England on 9 Nov. 1601 is a bit more complicated, but the strongest proof lies in the connections with the Francis NICHOLS family. William WASHBORNE married Jane NICHOLS, daughter of Francis NICHOLS, of Sedgeberrow, Worcester Co., England, which is only a few miles south of the parish of Evesham, in about 1625. Bengeworth is part of the parish of Evesham, which was the primary city in that part of Worcester County at the time. The marriage record has not survived, but a few of the baptisms of children of William WASHBORNE have survived in the Bishop's Transcripts for Bengeworth, and they match known children to William and Jane WASHBURN in Hempstead, Long Island. Furthermore, in the will of John WASHBURN, of Hempstead, son of William and Jane WASHBURN, who died in 1658, he mentioned his "loving uncle, Isac Nichols of Straatford, New England," who was a brother of his mother, Jane (NICHOLS) WASHBURN. Both Francis NICHOLS and his son Isaac NICHOLS lived in Stratford, CT, which is also where William and Jane WASHBURN settled first, before moving to Hempstead. Francis NICHOLS of Sedgeberrow, Worcester, married Frances WIMARKE in Sedgeberrow on 24 Jan. 1599/1600, and baptismal records are found in Sedgeberrow for the children of Francis NICHOLS who later show up in Connecticut: John NICHOLS, Jane (NICHOLS) WASHBURN, Sarah (NICHOLS) MILLS, and Isaac NICHOLS. Most probably William and Jane WASHBURN migrated from England to Connecticut Colony with the family of Jane's father, Francis NICHOLS, in about 1639. The last record of William WASHBURN in Bengeworth is the 18 Dec. 1637 baptism of his daughter Martha WASHBURN there.

Lastly, we know that the William WASHBORNE baptized in 1601 in Bengeworth did not die young because he was named in the 1614 will of his uncle and godfather, Edward TIMBRELL, the 1624 will of his father, John WASHBORNE, and the 1625 will of his mother, Martha (TIMBRELL) (STEVENS) WASHBORNE.

So that ties William WASHBORNE of Bengeworth, Worcester Co., England, with William WASHBURN of Stratford, CT, and Hempstead, Long Island.

The will of William was in the office of the Town Clerk of North Hempstead, LI in 1953.

Notes for Jane* Nichols:

154 [Master File.ftw]

There is some question as to the surname of Jane, William's wife. The most possible name is Nichols for both son, John, and grandson, John, make reference in a will and legal records to their Uncle Isaac Nichols of Stratford, CT. As there seems to be some litigation over Wm. Washburn's will, it is possible that son John was the son of a previous wife to Jane. The other name commonly proposed for Jane is Whitehead, but I have seen no proof of that. " OUR WASHBURN HERITAGE, By Elain Washburn Olney, P 2.

Notes for Rev. Edward* Bulkeley: [Master File.ftw]

Rev. Edward matriculated pensioner from St. John's College, Cambridge, Michaelmas, 1555; Scholar, 1555; B.A. 1559/60; M.A. 1563; B.D., 1569; D.D., 1578; Fellow, 1560. He obtained the rectorship of Odell in Bedfordshire, prob. in 1571. He "compounded" for the living at Odell, Mar. 6 1571/2 as is shown by the Bishops' Certificates of the Diocese of Canterbury. This means that he then paid to his superiors his first year's salary, as was then the established practice in the English Church. He was Prebend of Chester, 1574; of Westminster, 1583; of Lichfield, 1594; and was Vicar of St. Mary, Shrewsbury, 1578-1582. He was one of the commissioners appointed by the Bishop of Lincoln in 1608 for the "Levye of Armour" in Bedfordshire among the clergy. A moderate Puritan, he resigned his pastorate in 1609 most likely because of his age. His will was proved Jan 1620/1, and a commission to administer was granted to Peter Bulkeley, son of the said deceased, and executor named in the will.

Rev. Edward is described as "a moderate Puritan" and he leaned toward a more thorough reformation of the church of England. He resigned his Odell pastorate in 1609 due to failing health and it was taken up immediately by his son Peter. Son Peter recorded his father's burial "5 January, 1620/1. The Right Worshipfull Mr. Edward Bulckly, Dockter of Devinitie."

She apparently died on the ship but Rev. Bulkley did not wish to bury her at sea as they were approaching land. She was evidently in a coma and after several days ther were signs of life. She lived to a good old age. She was 30 years old when she came to America. They came on the SUSAN & ELLEN 1635. After several months in Cambridge, Peter Bulkley purchased a tract of land six miles square, from the Indians and established a church and continued as its pastor the rest of his life.

Much of the following is taken from NEH&GR and the Bulkeley Genealogy by Peter L. Jacobus. Jacobus relied heavily on Mathers Magnolia Charter.

Rev Peter Bulkley of Odell, Beds, succeeded his father in the Odell parish, but was silenced for non- conformity by Sir Nathaniel Brent and Arch-Bishop Laud. He rebelled at ritual & ceremony as did most Puritans preferring to concern himself with the inner spiritual needs of the common man. He became Rector at Odell about 10 years before his father's 1620 death per Diocese of Canterbury records.

He sold his estate and went to America in 1635 aboard the Susan & Ellin. His wife Grace Chetwood supposedly came aboard the Elizabeth & Ann, but that may have been a deception. They lived in Cambridge, MA for awhile, then founded Concord, MA.

Peter Bulkeley was the first minister of Concord and was of the first class of graduates at Harvard College. He was the 13th generation with the name Bulkeley. B.A. from St. John's College, Cambridge 1604/5; M.A. 1608 ; BD Rector of Odell succeeding his father 1610-1635; ordained Cambridge, MA for Concord April 1637; co founded Concord 1636-1659.

After several months in Cambridge, Peter purchased a tract of land six square miles, from the Indians and established a church and continued as its pastor the rest of his life. He bequesthed a large collection of books to Harvard Colege. He wrote some verse including an elegy on Thomas Horker and a learned theological work entitled "The Gospel Covenant of Grace, Opened" He died at age 76 in Concord and was succeeded in his church by his son Edward. He was an ancestor of Ralph Waldo Emerson.

They brought three other children to America besides their own: Priscilla Jarman age 10 Elizabeth Tyler age 10 Anne Lieford

After the death of his first wife Jane Allen, Peter remained a widower for eight years. He married Grace Chetwood shortly before leaving for America.

4392 -- In the past, Rev. Peter Bulkeley, emigrant from England to Massachusetts, was said to be descended from several monarchs of England (and elsewhere). In light of more recent scholarship (see, for example, the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, vol. 88 [2000], pp. 32-49), several of these descents have been disproved. The most recent monarch Peter Bulkeley is descended from is King Henry II of England (d. 1189), as follows:

Notes for John* Washburn IV: [Master File.ftw]

John Washburn had Isaac Averell (son-in-law) sign legal documents for him because John was Blind! His will was dated 4 Aug 1624 and the inventory was taken in 11 Dec 1624.

"John Washburn, one of the twelve principal burgesses mentioned in the charter of incorporation granted by James I to Evesham and Bengeworth, in the county of Worcester in 1605. BURKE'S AMERICAN FAMILIES, 1983, PS. 2958 & 2959.

"John Washbourne, who was born about 1556; was member of the first board of burgesses, appointed by James I, when he granted a charter to Evesham, including Bengeworth as a suburb in 1605; during the latter part of his life he was blind; died August 1624; married, July 6, 1596, Martha Stephens". COLONIAL FAMILIES OF AMERICA, Vol 12.

"None of the children from his first marriage were specifically named in the 1624 will of John, so they had probably all died young." (Per John Maltby, July 1998)

Notes for Nicholas* Tufton: [Master File.ftw]

Will written January 1537-8, ordered his body to be buried in the church of the Blessed Virgin of Northiam, before an altar of St. Nicholas; and that a stone be laid over him with his picture on it and an inscription. He bequeathed to his daughter Isabel Cryour an annuity for life; to the marriage of six poor maidens in Northiam, 20 shillings teach; to the reparatin of that parish church, repairs of vestments and other necessaries there, five marks; besides twenty shillings to be distributed by his executors to the poor of that parish; to Nicholas Cryour son of John Cryour, and all his sons and daughters by his daughter Isabel, small legacies; and to John Tufton his son, whom he appoint his executor, his landed property. Sussex Coroners' Inquests 1485-1558 edited by R. F. Hunnisett, Sussex Record Society Vol 74, p xxviii, Issued to members of the Society for the years 1984-1985: "When Henry VII came to the throne the rape (would this be another word for land?) was in the king's hands by reason of the forfeiture of William, Lord Hastings, for high treason in 1483. (footnote 2: Complete Peerage VI, 373; Dawson, Hastings Castle, 299-301) In December 1487 his attainder was reversed and his son Edward, then just 21, was granted the rape. (footnote 3: Complete Peerage VI, 374; Dawson, Hastings Castle, 303-4) He probably resumed appointing coroners immediately, although the first extant inquest dates from 28 March 1498. It was held by Nicholas Tufton, who held eight altogether from then until June 1504. Edward, Lord Hastings, died in November 1506 when the rape again came into the king's hands because his son George was a minor. (footnote 4: Complete Peerage VI, 374-5,654, VCH Sx IX,3) Presumably Nicholas Tufton then ceased to be coroner, and Stephen Root held two inquests within the rape as county coroner on 16 January and 17 Oct 1507. Nicholas Tufton was back in office in mid-January 1515 and the last date was on 1 December 1531. Tufton did not die until 30 December 1538 (footnote 8: A. L. Frewen, A History of Brickwall in Sussex and of the parishes of Northiam and Brede {London, 1909}, 5.) but he had been replaced as coroner by Richard Sharp by 10 October 1533. Sharp probably remained in office until his death on 10 January 1554. (footnote 10: SAC LXXIX, 78. In Frewen, History of Brickwall, 6. Sharp's date of death is given as 10 April 1553, but that is certainly incorrect because he made his will on 6 January 1554: PROB 11/36, ff. 180-1) Therefore, Nicholas Tufton had a long term as Hastings rape coroner despite the mid-term interruption. "Nicholas Tufton and Richard Sharp both lived at Northiam in houses which still stand and were buried in the parish church where their memorial brasses survive (footnote 2: Frewen, History of Brickwall, 5-6, 44-5; SACLXXIX, 76-9) Sharp married Tufton's daughter Alice and Both were active and influential throughout the county, were large landowners and founded families which rose even higher in the social scale. Tufton's direct descendants became earls of Thanet. He himself had lands in Northiam, Ewhurst, Bodiam, Mountfield, Sedlescombe, Ore, Fairlight,

169 Beckley, Peasmarsh, Udimore, Rye and places in Kent and interests farther west in Pevensey rape. As well as coroner, he served as steward of Hastings rape, but his most important offices were attained late in life, mostly after he had ceased to be coroner. He was a JP in 1532 and again in 1538 and a commissioner of sewers in 1534. He had been escheator of Surrey and Sussex from 11/1527 to 12/1528, but never became sheriff, although in three consecutive years, 1533-1538, he was one of the three nominees from whom the sheriff was chosen.

Notes for Thomas* Marston: [Master File.ftw]

In "The origins of Some Anglo-Norman Families", by Lewis C. Loyd, 1951, at pg.60, the author says that Marstons originated from Damblainville, Calvados,Normandy, France. He says, "In 1086 Robert of Rhuddlan held four hides inMarston St. Lawrence, co. Hampton, of Hugh Earl of Chester; and in 1081 William the Conqueror confirmed to the abbey of St-Evroul the church of Marston given by Robert of Ruddlan with the consent of Hugh, earl of Chester. Robert of Ruddlan also held Byfield, co. Northampton, of earl Hugh; and he gave that church and his interest in the church of Damblainville to St-Evroul. Humphrey de Merestona gave to St-Evroul all his land in the demesne of Damblainville and land at Byfield." (William the Conqueror, was duke of Normandy before he became king William I of England.) The name de Merestona became de Merston before 1166 in Bedfordshire. By 1226 the name had become de Marston for some.

42928. John* Washbourne II, born Abt. 1481 in Wichenford,Worc.,England; died January 1545/46 in Bengeworth, Worcester, ENG. He was the son of 85856. John* Washbourne and 85857. Joan Mitton. He married 42929. Emme Abt. 1505 in Bengeworth, Worcester, ENG.

176 42929. Emme, born Abt. 1485 in Bengeworth, Worcester, ENG.

Notes for John* Washbourne II: John Washbourne is the earliest ancestor which can be supported by existing documentation. Although for well over a century, genealogists have claimed he was the son of John Washburn and Joan Mytton of Bengeworth and Wichenford, and thus of royal lineage through his mother, there is no concrete documentation of such a relationship. In 1538, when registration became compulsory, John Washbourne and his wife, Emme, appear recorded as residents of Bengeworth, a suburb of Evesham, six or eight miles northeast from Little Washbourne and about 20 miles southeast of Wichenford in Worcestershire, England. In his will, 1546, John describes himself as "John Wassheburne, husbandman." He had fields in Bengeworth and a house and buildings in town, enough for the comfortable living of the family but not for luxuries. The arms of the Wichenford Washbournes were blazoned on the south window of the church as benefactors. In his will he directs that his "body be buried in ecclesiastical sepulture of my parish church of Bengeworth and brought to sepulture with solemne dirge and mass for my soul and all Christian souls". He bequeaths to the church aforesaid two strikes of wheat and two of barley, after which follow bequests of small domestic and farm belongings, of his lands and houses to his eldest son John, of small annuities to the other children, and trifles to his grandchildren. His chattels inventory 26-8-8. Of John's wife, Emme, it is only known that she lived with her husband until her death in 1547, bore him children and made a will disposing of her property at her death. Her will reflects more the religious feelings and customs of the times. She says: "I bequeathe my soul unto Almighty God, the glorious virgin Saynt Mary, to the company of all the blessed Angels and Saynts in hevyn, and my body to be buried within the Churchyard of Bengeworth".

These were the popular thoughts and expressions in the last two years of Henry VIII, "Defender of the Faith", and the year of Martin Luther's death. John and Emme left two married sons and two married daughters, Katherine, wife of Danyell Hide, and Alis, wife of Robert Martin. The sons were John and William. All these names are gleaned from wills, as the Bengeworth registers were non-compulsory, and hence incomplete, until 1538. John's burial is recorded 8 January 1546 and Emme's 13 May 1547.

This is in response to a Sept. 24 note from Mark Wentling, of the Washburn Mail-list, and is posted to everyone on the list.

At 12:25 PM 9/24/98 -0400, you wrote: By the way John, what is your opinion on the connection between John & Emme W. and John W. and Joan Mytton? I know you've posted about it before, but I haven't heard talk of it in a while and was wondering if you had had any movement in either direction in recent months.

Thanks Mark Wentling

There has been some discussion in the past about whether or not John and Emme Washborne of Bengeworth, England, were the son and daughter-in-law of John Washborne of Wichenford, England, who died in 1517. I know that many Washburn descendants believe that their ancestry passes through John Washborne of Wichenford all the way back to a Sir Roger Washbourne, Knight, mentioned in a 1259 Inquisition. My position hasn't changed; I have seen no proof that John of Wichenford even had a son named John.

Rev. James Davenport published a careful transcription of the 1517 will in "The Washbourne Family of Little Washbourne and Wichenford in the County of Worcester," in 1907. From the will we learn that John Washborne had sons Robert, Richard, and Walter, daughter Ann, and a grandson John Washborne. Since he mentioned no son named John, there is no proof that John Washborne of Bengeworth could have been his son. That doesn't mean, however, that it proves that John Washborne of Bengeworth couldn't have been his son, it simply means that proof is lacking. The John Washborne who was the heir named in the will was a grandson, the son of his eldest son Robert Washborne, who had predeceased his father, and who was therefore the rightful heir of John Washborne of Wichenford. This grandson John Washborne remained at Wichenford where he married and had children contemporaneously with the John Washbornes of Bengeworth. They were not the same men.

From Davenport's biographical sketch of John Washborne of Wichenford we learn that he had been married twice, first to Jone Mitton, daughter of William Mitton, Lord of Weston, and secondly to Elizabeth Monington. William Mitton apparently had royal ancestry, hence the desire to claim him as an ancestor of the American

177 Washburns is strong, but must be reserved until proof is discovered. Rev. Davenport claims that John Washborne had four sons by Jone Mitton: Robert, John, Walter and Francis, and by Elizabeth Monington two sons: Anthony and Richard.

Of these six sons, Davenport notes, only 3 are mentioned in the will: Robert, Walter and Richard. However, note that in mentioning Robert and Richard, Washborne leaves 20 pounds for their schooling, which indicates that they were probably under age, and by his second wife. To me, it appears that John Washborne may have given the name Robert again to a younger son after his eldest son Robert died. Davenport claims that it is a mistake, for Washborne must have meant Anthony instead of Robert, but Davenport doesn't account for Washborne not mentioning sons John or Francis in his will, not even with a cow or an ewe!

My point is simply that we have no proof that John Washborne of Wichenford had any more than the sons and daughter mentioned in his will. There is no proof that he had sons Francis or Anthony, and there is no proof that John Washborne of Bengeworth was his son either. Although Sir Roger Washbourne may be the ultimate ancestor, each generation back must be proven before being accepted, and the weak link is John Washborne of Wichenford.

The will is in the Worcester Probate Office in folio #54 for 1517. It is a follows:

In the name of God Amen the thryde day of the moneth of May the yere of our lord God a thowsande fyve hundred and sevyten I John Wassborn Esquyer in the p'sence of Fraunces Folyatt Phelipp Chatwyn Walter Wasshborn my sone Henry Durant Robert Folyatt Rogr Botill Sr William Wyllis my Curatt Roger Whiteley Town clerk of Worcestre Thomas Clerk John Hawkyns and Thomas Smart make my testament & last wyll in this manr folowing Furst I bequeth my soule to Almyghtie god our blessed lady vurgyn and to all the holy company in hevyn and my body to be buryed in the chauncell of seant Mighell in Wychenforde.

According to Rev. Davenport, John Washborne died on May 6, 1517, and the will was proved on November 3, 1517. The inquisition post mortem was held on November 29th, of 10 Henry VIII, which was in Latin, but again shows that the heir to the estate of John Washborne was "Johnes Washeborn filius Robti Washeborn."

Notes for Alice* Ardearne: [Master File.ftw]

Lynn Arderne shares with us the family's place in history: during the English Civil War of the 17th century Sir Ralph Arderne (1608) supported Oliver Cromwell but his son, Sir John Arderne, supported King Charles II and went into exile with him until the Restoration, when he was knighted at Whitehall and appointed Sheriff of Cheshire. A similar situation arises during the Wars of Roses when our family supported the Lancastrians, through marriage and property ties.

With thanks to Steve Brown, Lynn Arderne and Bruce Ardern Note from Lynn Arderne: There is a South African branch to the family., begun in the early 1800s, when a young Arderne son, Richard Crewe Arderne, decided to make his fortune in South Africa. Unfortunately he and his wife died shortly after arriving in SA in 1849 but their son, John George Arderne (b. 1838), was the first male Arderne born in Africa and the Southern African branch are all descended from this one man.

Notes for Richard* Hall:

188 From The Elkinton Family by Arthur Adams

RICHARD HALL, of Swerford. The 1634 Visitation of Oxfordshire, presented in Vol. V of the Publications of the Harleian Society, includes pedigrees of both the Woodhull family of Mollington (page 266) and of the Hall family of Banbury (page 270). The arms of the Hall family are : Quarterly 1 and 4, Argent, an eagle displayed gules. The arms at the time of the Visitation were engraved on a monument in Swerford Church. At the time the writer visited the Church (1939), no trace of the monument was to be found. The monument was to Richard Hall and was in the Chancel of the Church. The Harleian Society Visitation, page 271, gives what was left of the inscription in 1634. Page 14, of the same volume, speaks of the arms of the Hall and related families in the Manor House in Swerford. This Manor House was taken down many years ago. The Visitation says that he was a Judge of assize in the time of Henry VII. He was a plaintiff-as feoffee-in chancery proceedings in 1502-3. Richard Hall died 11 Nov. 1508 (Monumental Inscription at Swerford). His will is dated 20 August 1508 and was proved 23 November 1508 (P.C.C.). He directs that he be buried in the Chancel of the Parish House in Swerford "before thymage of our blessed lady," and leaves 12d to the mother Church of Lincoln for forgotten tythes. To Sir Thomas Hall, Parson of Westote Barton, he leaves a salt of silver that my [the testator's] mother left him, and a gilt goblet, to pray for his soul. He leaves to Elizabeth, late wife of Edmund Hall, twenty sheep, and forty sheep to either of Edmund Hall's daughters. To Edmund Blounte, he leaves twenty, wether sheep. He says, "I will the pece that was Edmund Hall's of the gift of Dame Katherin Rede, his grandmother be distributed or value thereof for the souls of Dame Katheryn, Edmund Hall, and Elizabeth, late wife to me the sd Richard to preests & in other almys deeds." He makes Sir Thomas Hall, Parson of Westote Barton, his executor with power to dispose of the rest of his goods as he thinks best. It is evident that his wife, Elizabeth, was a daughter of Dame Katharine Rede and, as we shall see in our discussion of the Rede family, of Sir Edmund Rede, of Boarstall, co. Bucks

Notes for John* Washbourne: [Master File.ftw]

The Ancestors & Descendants of A braham Daniel Washburn (Utah Pioneers 1805-1962 by Ella L. Turner The Washburn Family Foundations in Normandy, England and American by Mabel Thacher Rosemary Washburn Bengeworth St. Peter's Parish Church Records The Washbourne Family by Rev. James Davenport, Vicar of Wichenford first published in 1907 !It was in the lifetime of this ancestor of the American family of Washburn that were made the discoveries of Christopher Columbus and other earl openers of the New World to Europe. Sir John Washbourne made his will on 3 May, 1517. Its provisions evinced the fervent loyalty to the Catholic Faith of our English ancestors. He ordered that his body should lie in the Chancel ofSaint Michael in Wichenford. Bequests were made to the "Mother Church of our Blessed Virgin of Worcester" and to "the High Altar of Saint Michael ofWichenford". His will does not mention his sons John, Francis, or Richard (1/2 brother). It is speculated that this may have been because of a rift in the family over the second wife (mother of Richard). John (the son) subsequently moved to Bengeworth with his wife and children.

Notes for Sir Edmund* Rede: From The Elkinton Family by Arthur Adams

SIR EDMUND REDE, Knight, married, first, AGNES, daughter of Sir JOHN COTESMORE, Knight, Chief Justice of England, by whom he had issue William, Thomas, Alan, and Joan. He married, secondly, KATHERINE, daughter of WALTER GRENE, of Hayes, co. Middlesex, widow of John Gainsford, of Crowhurst, co. Surrey, and Hampton Poyle, co. Oxford, by whom he had several children. He was knighted 26 May 1465, on the coronation of Elizabeth, Consort of Edward IV. He was a lawyer, King's servant in 1447, and Knight of the Shire (Member of Parliament) for Oxfordshire, 1450/1. He served as Sheriff of Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire often between 1438 and 1461. He was a Justice of the Peace often between 1439 and 1483. A pedigree of the Grene family is given in Middlesex Pedigrees, Harleian Society Publications, Vol. 65, 1914, page 79 (arms: azure, a chevron argent between three bucks statant or). Walter Grene was a member of Parliament for co. Middlesex often between 1414 and 1446. His will is dated 6 December 35 Henry VI (1456) and was proved 12 Feb. 1456/7. (P.C.C.) He died 6 Dec. 1456. In a book of Oxfordshire Church notes in the College of Arms taken apparently about 1500, three or four pages are devoted to notes concerning the coats of arms in Boarstall Church. Many drawings of coats of arms of members of the Rede family with their quarterings are given. Concerning Edmund Rede we find Edmund Rede, Knight, sometime Lord of this town and Katherine his wife, which Edmund died 7 June 1487 and Katherine ob. 14 . ., and Katherine and Agnes, his wives. By one wife v sons and ii daughters, the other iiii sons and iiii daughters. So far as is known this is the only statement as to the number of Sir Edmund Rede's children by each of

194 his two wives. The will of Edmund Reed (P.C.C.) is dated 21 Feb. 4 Henry VII, and was proved 30 June 1487. The will and the very long testament in Latin are found in P.C.C. Milles, 23. The testament in Latin is printed in full, with an English translation, in the Boarstall Cartulary, pp. 286-295. In his prefatory note, the Editor in error makes Elizabeth, wife of Richard Hall, a daughter of Katherine by her first husband Nicholas Gainsford (recte John). Sir Edmund Rede leaves to his son-in-law, Richard Hall, whom he makes one of his executors, a "book of assize of English Law," and to Elizabeth Hall, wife of said Richard, an ornament of gold. His wife Katherine and Richard Hall are made residuary legatees, and they and John Sampson, Clerk, and Robert Arderne, are made executors. The will of Dame Katheryne Reed, widow, is dated 8 June 1498 and was proved at Lambeth 18 Sept. 1498 (P.C.C.. 24 Horne). To her daughter, Elizabeth, wife of Richard Hall, Gentleman, she leaves a ring of gold with a sapphire "lope." She disposes of much plate and jewelry to her sons by her first marriage, George and William Garnsford, and their wives. She died 9 August 1498.

Child of Edmund* Rede and Katherine Grene is: 47141 i. Elizabeth Rede, born Abt. 1445 in Boarstall, Oxfordshire, England; married Richard* Hall.

107872. Baron Hugh de Bulkeley, born Abt. 1405 in Haughton, England. He was the son of 215744. John* Bulkeley and 215745. Audrey Titley. He married 107873. Helen Wilbraham Abt. 1449 in Woore, England. 107873. Helen Wilbraham, born Abt. 1420 in Woodley, England.

Child of Hugh de Bulkeley and Helen Wilbraham is: 53936 i. Baron Humphrey de Bulkeley, born Abt. 1450 in Woore, Shropshire, England; died Abt. 1535; married Cecily Moulton.

107874. John* Moulton, born 1415 in Moulton, Norfolkshire, England; died in Ormesby, Norfolkshire, England.

Notes for John* Moulton: The Earliest Person of the Moulton name known to have lived at Ormesby. He served on a manorial court jury at Pedham Hall, Ormesby, in 1440

107880. Thomas* Grosvenor, born Abt. 1425 in Hulme Walfield, Congleton, Cheshire, England; died Aft. 1460 in Drayton in Hales, Market Drayton, Shropshire, England. He was the son of 215760. Thomas Grosvenor and 215761. Joan Venables. He married 107881. Isabella de Pershale. 107881. Isabella de Pershale, born Abt. 1430 in Chetwood, Shropshire, England. She was the daughter of 215762. Sir Richard de Pershale and 215763. Margaret de Malpas.

Notes for Thomas* Grosvenor: Many people in World Connect have two Thomas Grosvenors in succession, the elder being son of Sir Robert of Hulme. However most have this Thomas's mother being Joan Venables. This does not fit with the Thomas who was son of Sir Robert, because according to Burke's Peerage that Thomas married Katherine Fesant (who outlived him and was therefore his last wife, and mother of his eldest children and therefore his first wife (ie. his only wife)). I feel that the date range between the eldest Thomas born c1277 and Randle born c1455 justifies three Thomases in succession. This allows for this Thomas to be son of Thomas & Joan Venables, while that Thomas was son of the Thomas identified in Burke's Peerage as married to Katherine Fesant.

Child of Thomas* Grosvenor and Isabella de Pershale is:

195 53940 i. Sir Randall* Grosvenor, born Bet. 1450 - 1456 in Drayton in Hales, Market Drayton, Shropshire, England; died March 01, 1521/22 in Bellaport, Norton in Hales, Market Drayton, Shropshire, England; married Margaret Mainwaring.

Ellen Massey.

Notes for Randall* Mainwaring III: MCS states that Randle & Margaret Savage have inadequate proof as to their parenthood.

Randle Mainwaring of Carincham, IPM 3 Henry VII (1488), naming Randle aged 18 eldest son & heir; m. Margaret, daughter of Hugh Davenport, Esq. of Henbury. [Magna Charta Sureties]

Note: Although MCS states that proof is lacking for Randle's parentage. When discussing Randle's grandson Randle Grosvenor, MCS states that he was a descendant of Thomas de Swynnerton, which might lend support to this parentage.

Notes for Margaret Davenport: Margaret, daughter of Hugh Davenport, Esq. of Henbury. [Magna Charta Sureties]

Child of Randall* Mainwaring and Margaret Davenport is: 53941 i. Margaret Mainwaring, born Abt. 1458 in Carincham, Cheshire, England; died Abt. 1488; married Sir Randall* Grosvenor.

JOHN LIPPINCOTT who married the heiress of Wibbery is called of Lipingcot, and his son after him, many years after John Lippincott lost his estates (1327-1357) in Lovecote or Luffincot. The latter appears to have been son and heir of William de Luskote or Lufkote, and to have lost but one carucate of land, mansion, etc. By the Domesday Book survey there were two carucates in Lovecote, so that John L. of Lipingcot may have held the other, and his heirs have sold it to the Wises of Sidenham in 1415, and the records by proved consistent. The above JOHN LIPPINCOTT, ESQ. who held Wibbery in King Henry V's time, was probably the son of the John who was son of Thomas, both of whom held Lughencot, as before stated. The said JOHN LIPPINCOTT, Esq. of Wibbery married Jane, daughter and coheir of John Wibbery, Esq. of Wibbery in Alverdiscott, Devon, near Bideford, by whom he had issue The Webberys lived in the manor house and then the last Webbery daughter, Jane, married John Luffincote I, and the Lippincotts stayed in the manor house for 300 years!

DNB: Edmund (1337-1417), who was captain of Calais in 1387, when he refused admission to his brother Michael lest he should be found false to his trust. The Edmund who fought at Agincourt was probably his [Wm de la Pole's] grandson (Walsingham, Hist. Angl. ii. 169; Nicolas, Agincourt, pp. 128, 354; Archologia, iii. 18).

*Michael de la Pole, 1st earl of Suffolk,. 1330?–1389, fought in France in the Hundred Years War under Edward the Black Prince. He became the trusted adviser of Richard II, who made him chancellor (1383) and earl of Suffolk (1385). In the Parliament of 1386 his enemies forced his dismissal, and he was impeached and imprisoned. Richard soon released and reinstated him, but when the baronial opposition again demanded his arrest, De la Pole fled (1387) to France. “Appealed” of treason and sentenced to death in the Merciless Parliament of 1388, he died in exile. His grandson, William de la Pole, 4th earl and 1st duke of Suffolk,. 1396–1450, played an active role in the later stages of the Hundred Years War and for a time held the chief command. He arranged the marriage (1445) of Margaret of Anjou to Henry VI and rose to a position of great political authority, reaching the peak of his power in 1448 when he was made duke. His persistent efforts to gain peace with France enabled his enemies to accuse him of treason, especially after disastrous losses in Normandy. His long record of service, his eloquent appeal to Parliament, and even the favor of the king could not save him from impeachment. When setting out for a five-year exile he was abducted from his ship and beheaded in a boat off Dover. His wife was the granddaughter of Geoffrey Chaucer. His son, John de la Pole, 2d duke of Suffolk,. 1443–91, married Edward IV's sister Elizabeth and held offices under that king. He later supported Richard III, yet was favored by Henry VII. Of his sons, the eldest was John de la Pole, earl of Lincoln,. 1464–87, who was recognized by Richard III as his heir presumptive. At first he appeared to accept Henry VII, but he soon joined the rebellion in favor of Lambert Simnel. He led an invading army from Ireland and was killed at the battle of Stoke. The second son, Edmund de la Pole, earl of Suffolk,. 1472?–1513, agreed to the wish of Henry VII that he forego the ducal title in return for some of the property forfeited as a result of his brother's treason. Later he declared his ambition for the throne and tried to get help on the Continent. He was eventually delivered (1506) as a prisoner to Henry VII by the Burgundians. He was imprisoned for years and finally executed by Henry VIII. The fifth son, Richard de la Pole,. d. 1525, took over Edmund's claim to the throne and received intermittent support from the French. He was killed in the battle of Pavia fighting for Francis I of France. He was the last of his line

David Hall [Lyn Hall] posted to soc.genealogy.medieval on 16 Dec 1996: Subject: DE LA POLE FAMILY "The early history of the de la Pole family before William de la Pole has not been proven. Dr. Rosemary Horrox in her book on the de la Poles states "The de la Poles died out in the early sixteen century, just before the great revival of interest in geneaology which might have enabled their pedigree to be traced and preserved. The modern historian of the family can reach no further back than William of Hull, in Paston's words, 'a worshipful man grown by fortune of the world and he was first a merchant and after a knight and after he was made banneret'. William de la Pole died 1366, his wife Katherine died 1381. Charles Frost in his article on the family thought the de la Pole brothers (Richard and William) were the sons of William and Elena, who subsequently remarried John Rottenherring. However A.S. Harvey "The de la Pole Family of Kingston-upon-Hull" published Hull, 1957 proved neither parent correct. . . . Dr. Horrox stated "ROBERT's [i.e. William's son in law, SIR ROBERT DE NEVILLE] father, ROBERT senior, was then heavily in debt to William, and had been imprisoned in the Fleet for non-payment of two thousand pounds. Michael de la Pole obtained his release in May claiming that the money had been repaid. This seems unlikely; three days later ROBERT senior took out another bond promising repayment of the two thousand pounds."

Notes for Michael* de la Pole: Michael de la Pole, 1st earl of Suffolk,. 1330?–1389, fought in France in the Hundred Years War under Edward the Black Prince. He became the trusted adviser of Richard II, who made him chancellor (1383) and earl of Suffolk (1385). In the Parliament of 1386 his enemies forced his dismissal, and he was impeached and imprisoned. Richard soon released and reinstated him, but when the baronial opposition again demanded his arrest, De la Pole fled (1387) to France. “Appealed” of treason and sentenced to death in the Merciless Parliament of 1388, he died in exile. His grandson, William de la Pole, 4th earl and 1st duke of Suffolk,. 1396–1450, played an active role in the later stages of the Hundred Years War and for a time held the chief command. He arranged the marriage (1445) of Margaret of Anjou to Henry VI and rose to a position of great political authority, reaching the peak of his power in 1448 when he was made duke. His persistent efforts to gain peace with France enabled his enemies to accuse him of treason, especially after disastrous losses in Normandy. His long record of service, his eloquent appeal to Parliament, and even the favor of the king could not save him from impeachment. When setting out for a five-year exile he was abducted from his ship and beheaded in a boat off Dover. His wife was the granddaughter of Geoffrey Chaucer. His son, John de la Pole, 2d duke of Suffolk,. 1443–91, married Edward IV's sister Elizabeth and held offices under that king. He later supported Richard III, yet was favored by Henry VII. Of his sons, the eldest was John de la Pole, earl of Lincoln,. 1464–87, who was recognized by Richard III as his heir presumptive. At first he appeared to accept Henry VII, but he soon joined the rebellion in favor of Lambert Simnel. He led an invading army from Ireland and was killed at the battle of Stoke. The second son, Edmund de la Pole, earl of Suffolk,. 1472?–1513, agreed to the wish of Henry VII that he forego the ducal title in return for some of the property forfeited as a result of his brother's treason. Later he declared his ambition for the throne and tried to get help on the Continent. He was eventually delivered (1506) as a prisoner to Henry VII by the Burgundians. He was imprisoned for years and finally executed by Henry VIII. The fifth son, Richard de la Pole,. d. 1525, took over Edmund's claim to the throne and received intermittent support from the French. He was killed in the battle of Pavia fighting for Francis I of France. He was the last of his line

Notes for Sir John* De Grey II:

222 [Master File.ftw]

John got a license to crenellate his manor in Rotherfield in 1347.

------

John de Grey, 2nd Baron Grey of Rotherfield, one of the founders of the Order of the Garter, b. 1300, who in the 15th Edward II, making proof his age, had livery of his lands; and in the 1st Edward III, was in the wars of Scotland. In the 6th of the same reign, upon some differences between his lordship and William le Zouch, of Haryngworth, another great baron, which was heard before the king, Lord Grey, under the irritation of the moment, drew his knife upon Lord Zouch in the royal presence, whereupon both lords were committed to prison; but the Lord Zouch was soon afterwards released, while Lord Grey was remanded and his lands seized upon by the crown. He was, however, within a short time, upon making submission, restored to favour; and in three years afterwards we find his lordship in Scotland upon the king's service, being of the retinue with Henry, Earl of Lancaster.

Notes for Maud de Holand: Following copied from Ancestral Roots, at end of line 32. ------

Note concerning the marriage of Sir Thomas de Swynnerton and Maud de Holand: the fact of this marriage has been questioned in the past as it appears to rest solely upon the statement in the Savage pedigree in the Visitation of Cheshire for 1580. Review of printed sources shows that Robert de Holand and his wife Maud la Zouche did have a daughter named Maud who was betrothed as a child to John de Mowbray. After the order for the confiscation of the estates of John's father, John (then aged about 12), his mother Aline, and Maud, who was living with them, were taken on 26 Feb 1321/2 to the Tower of London to be received by the Constable of the Tower, then Roger de Swynnerton, father of Thomas. Following the imprisonment of Maud's father and the confiscation of his estates, the marriage of John was granted on 28 Feb 1326/7 to Henry, Earl of Lancaster, whose daughter Joan was then married to John de Mowbray, then fifteen years of age. When John came of age, he received a license to grant a life interest in two Mowbray manors to Maud, then free to marry. That Maud did marry Thomas de Swynnerton depends upon the sources for the article "Ancestry of Obadiah and Mary Bruen", TAG 26:12-25 at 21 (1950). In that article Donald Lines Jacobus cited the article by Rev. Canon Bridgeman, "An Account of the Family of Swynnerton of Swynnerton and Elsewhere in the County of Stafford", (Wm. Salt Soc., vol VII pt. II, cit.), which shows that the widow of Thomas de Swynnerton was named Maud (or Matilda), and that there was formerly in Swynnerton Church an "effigy of a woman over whom is written, "Matidis de Swynnerton," and a shield giving the arms of Holand, viz: azure, semee of fleurs-de-lys argent, a lion rampant guardian argent" (Staffordshire Collection, MS no. 383, William Salt Library).

Child of Thomas de Swynnerton and Maud de Holand is: 1726122 i. Sir Knight Robert de Swynnerton, born 1345 in Swynnerton, Staffordshire, England; died Abt. 1395 in Swynnerton, Staffordshire, England; married Elizabeth Beke.

3452246. Sir Knight Nicholas* Beke, born Abt. 1320 in Tene, Staffordshire, England. He was the son of 6904492. Sir Robert Beke and 6904493. Mariota. He married 3452247. Jane de Stafford. 3452247. Jane de Stafford, born 1329 in Tunbridge, Staffordshire, England. She was the daughter of 6904494. 1st Earl Stafford Ralph Stafford and 6904495. Katherine de Hastang.

230 Notes for Sir Knight Nicholas* Beke: Sir Nicholas Beck (Beke, Beck, Bec, or Beek) seems to have used invariably the name of Beck, a form which had occurred only occasionally before his time. He was a "Chivaler" and being also a member of Parliament, a good account of his career is given in Col. Wedgewood's "Parliamentary History". He served in the famous Crecy campaign, and was probably in the great fight of the feudal lord, Ralph, Baron Stafford being attached to the King's division, and it is certain that he took part in the seige of Calais, because he had during its progress letters of attorney dated March 20, 1347, describing him as of the retinue of Ralph, who was abroad in the King's service. In 1359 he was again in the retinue of Ralph, now Earl of Stafford. In 1261, Prince Lionel of Clarence (son of Edward III) was appointed Lieutenant of Ireland and was accompanied thither by a body of men at arms commissioned by Ralph Stafford. Nicholas Beck was a knight with him. Nicholas Beck's grandfather, Robert Bek, took the name of Bek from his mother, Lettice de Bek, who married Sir Richard Draycote. Lettice was not only the heiress of the de Beks, but also of Orabel or Orabilla, her mother. In 1369 Nicholas recovered 6 messuages, and 6 bovates, not in the estates entailed in 1302. With Nicholas probably ended the male line of the Becks, who were in fact Draycotes. We learn from a suit at Stafford in 1402 that his mother's name was Mary or Mariota de Bek and that he himself married a wife named Joan, and they were both living in 1348. He left two daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret who died sine prole.

Child of Nicholas* Beke and Jane de Stafford is: 1726123 i. Elizabeth Beke, born Abt. 1350 in Eresby, Lincolnshire, England; married Sir Knight Robert de Swynnerton.

He married 3452249. Ellena de Egerton. 3452249. Ellena de Egerton, born Abt. 1353 in Malpas, Whitchurch, Cheshire, England. She was the daughter of 6904498. Baron of Malpas Philip* de Egerton and 6904499. Ellen de St. Pierre.

Notes for Sir William* de Brereton: Sir William Brereton, of Brereton, was living 49th of Edward III, 375. He married 1st Ellen, daughter of Philip Egerton, and sister and heiress of David Egerton of Egerton, representative of the Norman Barons of Malpas, and by her had a son Sir William, his successor. He married 2nd Margaret, daughter of Henry Done, and had a son and two daughters. From this marriage with Ellen Egerton the Breretons derived large possessions and splendid descent; but at the time of the marriage, David de Egerton being then living, the marriage portion of the lady was only œ100, for which William Brereton gave his receipt at Egerton, 27th of Edward III, 1353.

Sir WILLIAM de BRERETON, Kt., of Brereton, Cheshire., Born c. 1325. He took part in the crusade, under the Black Prince, which restored Peter the Cruel to the throne of Castile, 1367.

Notes for Ellena de Egerton: Ellena de Egerton became sole heiress of her brother Philip and marrying Sir William de Brereton, and by him was ancestress of the Breretons of Brereton, who in her right became representative of the Egertons, so far as the moiety of the barony of Malpas was concerned. From this marriage the Breretons derived large possessions and splendid descent.

Young Spencer, with the king, effected his escape; but they were both , soon afterwards, taken and delivered to the queen, when the unfortunate monarch was consigned to Berkeley Castle, where he was basely murdered in 1327. Hugh Spencer the younger, it appears was impeached before parliament, and received sentence <> and there to be hanged and quartered, which sentence was executed on a gallows 50 feet high, upon St. Andrew's eve, anno 1326 [ 24 Nov 1326 ]. Thus terminated the career of two of the most celebrated royal favourites in the annals of England. The younger Hugh was a peer of the realm, as well as his father, having been summoned to parliament as a baron, from 29 July, 1314, to 10 October, 1325; but the two BARONIES OF SPENCER, and the EARLDOM OF WINCHESTER, expired under the attainders of the father and son.>

Notes for Alianore* De Clare: [Master File.ftw]

Caerphilly Castle, Glamorgan, Wales:

237 Pride of place goes at once to Caerphilly in Glamorgan, the fortress of the greatest subject of the Crown, the Clare Earl of Hertford and Gloucester. Perhaps the finest of the castles as it is the largest in overall extent, Caerphilly added to its core of a powerful quadrangular concentric fortress a most extensive system of water defences, barbicans (an outer defense work of a city or castle, especially towers over a gate or bridge) and outworks, and had one of the most elaborately defended approaches in all Britain. Caerphilly has 2 main entrances, eked out by lessor or postern gates. The multiplication of the gateway gave the garrison greater freedom of movement and opportunity to launch sallies or counter-attacks against their assailants, while the enemy was prevented from concentrating his strength at one chosen point by the necessity of closely investing the whole perimeter. Caerphilly was one of the greatest new castles of that age. It was a grim and grandiose fortress. (English Medieval Castles, by R. Allen Brown, 1954)

Eleanor de Segrave.

Notes for Lord Robert* de Holand III: That this family was of great antiquity in the county of Lancaster is evident from the register of Cokersand Abbey, to which religious house some of its members were benefactors in King John's time. The first person of the name of any note was Robert de Holand, who was in the wars of Scotland, 31st Edward I [1303] and who owed his advancement to his becoming secretary to Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, for previously he had been but a "poor knight." In the 1st Edward II [1307], he obtained large territorial grants from the crown, viz., the manors of Melburne, Newton, Osmundeston, Swarkeston, Chelardeston, Normanton, and Wybeleston, in the county of Derby, and the same year had a military summons to march against the Scots. In the 8th Edward II [1315], he was first summoned to parliament as a baron; and in the 10th and 12th, he was again in the wars of Scotland, in which latter year he had license to make a castle of his manor house of Bagworth, co. Leicester. Upon the insurrection of his old master, Thomas, Earl of Lancaster (15th Edward II), his lordship promised that nobleman, to whom he owed his first rise in the world, all the aid in his power, but failing to fulfill his engagement, Lancaster was forced to fly northwards and was finally taken prisoner at Boroughbridge, when Lord Holand rendered himself to the king at Derby and was sent prisoner to Dover Castle. For this duplicity he became so odious to the people that, being afterwards made prisoner a second time, in a wood near Henley Park, toward Windsor, he was beheaded on the nones of October, anno 1328, and his head sent to Henry, Earl of Lancaster, then at Waltham Cross, co. Essex, by Sir Thomas Wyther and some other private friends.

His lordship m. Maud, one of the daus. and co-heirs of Alan le Zouch, of Ashby, and had issue, Robert, Thomas, Alan, Otho, Jane, and Mary. Robert, Lord Holand, was s. by his eldest son, Sir Robert Holand, 2nd baron. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, pp. 278-9, Holand, Barons Holand]

[Burke's Peerage]

------

Ralph de Stafford, 2nd baron, summoned to parliament from 14 January, 1337, to 25 November, 1350. This nobleman attaining majority in the 17th Edward II [1324], and then doing his homage, had livery of his father's lands, and the next ensuing year, being made a knight by bathing and other sacred ceremonies, had robes, &c., as a banneret, allowed him out of the king's wardrobe for the solemnity; after which he soon became a personage of celebrity in the wars of King Edward III. His lordship was first engaged in Scotland for some years, and he then embarked for Brittany, where he was made prisoner at the siege of Nantes. In the 19th Edward III [1346], he was sent into Gascony with Henry of Lancaster, Earl of Derby, and while that nobleman assaulted Bergerath by land, Lord Stafford commanded the force which attacked it by sea. the next year he was constituted seneschal of Aquitaine, when John, son and heir of Philip, King of France, coming to besiege Aguillon, where his lordship then resided, he stoutly defended that place against the whole power of the French, until King Edward came to his relief, and forced the enemy to raise the siege. After this, joining his troops with the army of King Edward, he had

245 a principal command in the van of the English at the glorious battle of Cressy. On the termination of this great conflict, his lordship being sent with Sir Reginald Cobham and three heralds to view the slain, reported the number to be 11 great princes, 80 banneret, 1,200 knights, and more than 30,000 common soldiers. He was afterwards, when Calais surrendered, appointed, together with Sir Walter Manny, and the Earl of Warwick, to take possession of that place for the king; and subsequently his lordship was one of the ambassadors deputed to the cardinals of Naples and Claremont, to treat of peace between King Edward and Philip de Valois, then assuming the title of King of France. The next year he had license to make castles of his manor houses at Stafford and Nadeley; as also a grant from the king of £573, for his expenses in foreign service. About this time his lordship was elected a knight of the Garter, being one of the original members of that noble order. In the 24th Edward III [1351], he was in commission with the bishop of Durham, and the Lords Percy and Nevill, to treat with the nobles of Scotland, at York, for a firm and final peace between the two realms; for all which eminent services he was created, 5 March, 1351, Earl of Stafford, and constituted lieutenant and captain-general of the Duchy of Aquitaine. His lordship m. Margaret, only dau. and heiress of Hugh de Audley, Baron Audley, and in right of his wife, Earl of Gloucester, by which alliance he acquired a considerable inheritance, and the Barony of Audeley is presumed to have merged in that of Stafford. He had issue, Ralph, who m. Maud, dau. of Henry, Earl of Derby, Duke of Lancaster, but d.v.p., s.p.; Hugh, his successor; Beatrice, m. 1st, Maurice, son and heir of Maurice, Earl of Desmond, 2ndly, Thomas, Lord Ros, of Hamlake, and 3rdly, Sir Richard Burley, Knt.; Joane, m. to John, son and heir of John Cherlton, Lord Powis; Elizabeth, m. to Fulke le Strange; and Margaret, m. to Sir John Stafford, Knt. His lordship d. 31 August, 1372, was buried at Tunbridge, and was s. by his only surviving son, Hugh de Stafford.

Ellen de St. Pierre, born 1337 in Shocklach Oviatt, Chester, Cheshire, England. She was the daughter of 13808998. John de St. Pierre and 13808999. Isabella de Trussell.

Notes for Baron of Malpas Philip* de Egerton: Philip de Egerton married Eilen or Ellena de St. Pierre. By one of those curious matrimonial contracts that were common to the age, we find David Egerton, father of this Philip, in a deed dated at Egerton, 9th of Edward II, 1315/6, entering into an agreement with John de St. Pierre, that his son and heir, Philip de Egerton, shall marry

246 Ellen St. Pierre, daughter of the said John, the portion of 80 marks she was to receive to be returned, as the deed prudently provided, in the event of her dying before the marriage was consummated. Happily that contingency did not arise, for she was living at the time of the Battle of Crescy was fought in 1346, 30 years after the agreement was entered into, and had borne her husband a son, David, and two daughters, Ellen and Isabel. After her death Phil Egerton married a second wife, Maud, daughter of Richard Vernon. Philip Egerton, like his predecessors, was an accumulator of lands. Some time after his 1st marriage he purchased from Hugh de Wardhull certain lands in Wardle and also certain other tenements in Egerton. On account of his stature he was surnamed "the Long." He died 1362. His only son, David, did not long survive his father and died without issue, and the line of descent terminated in his two sisters, Isabel and Ellena.

Child of Philip* de Egerton and Ellen St. Pierre is: 3452249 i. Ellena de Egerton, born Abt. 1353 in Malpas, Whitchurch, Cheshire, England; married Sir William* de Brereton.

[a] His coheirs were the descendants of his aunts. (1) Alice, m. Robert de Stafford, whose great-grandson and h., Ralph, Lord Stafford, then aged 32, inherited the Castle of Caus, &c.; and (2) Emma, m. Sir Bryan de Brampton, of whose great-grand-daughters and coheirs, Margaret, then aged 46, was wife of Robert Harley [ancestor of the Earls of Oxford], and Elizabeth, then aged 42, was wife of Edmund de Cornwall. It is possible, however, that John C. left male issue.

6904516. John de Legh, of Booths Hall, born Abt. 1280 in Booths Hall, Norbury, Cheshire, England. He was the son of 13809032. William de Venables and 13809033. Agnes de Legh, Heiress of West Hall. He married 6904517. Ellen Dent in 1st wife. 6904517. Ellen Dent, born Abt. 1280 in Cheshire, England; died Bef. 1305. She was the daughter of 13809034. Richard Dent.

Notes for John de Legh, of Booths Hall: John Leigh (took mother's name), of Booths, Cheshire; married 1st Ellen, daughter of Richard Dent, of Cheshire, and had a son (John, ancestor of the Leighs of Booths); married 2nd Ellen, daughter of Thomas Corona, of Adlington, and had [Robert]. [Burke's Peerage]

Note: Magna Charta Sureties has John as son of Ellen de Corona. However the way Burke's Peerage has it would explain why Ellen de Corona's brother Thomas left Adlington to John & Ellen de Corona for life and then to

247 Robert, who was presumably the first son of John & Ellen de Corona.

------Following Copied from "Leigh and Legh of High Legh" website, www.users.totalise.co.uk: ------

The Leigh Family of West Hall

D. & S. Lysons in Magna Britannia, give details of the relationship of several branches of the Legh and Leigh families and the notes below shown indented are simplified from this source. The Leighs of West Hall arrived in High Legh about 70 years after the Leghs of East Hall.

"Egerton Leigh of West Hall in High Legh and Twemlow, Esq. is descended from Richard Lymme who in the late 13th century married Agnes the daughter and sole heiress of Richard de Legh. Agnes had a second husband, William Venables, and they had a son, John, who (also) took the name of Legh and settled at Booths. William Venables was descended from Gilbert Venables the first baron of Kinderton who held land in Cheshire under Hugh Lupus after the Norman Conquest.

John Legh was the common ancestor of the following branches of the Legh family of which the first seven were in Cheshire.

1. Legh of Sandbach, who became extinct after two generations. 2. Legh of Booths, of whom Willoughby Legh was the representative in 1810 with the Leighs of West Hall also as descendants of this branch. 3. Leigh of Oughtrington, who are descended from John a younger son of Richard Leigh of West Hall as a result of his marriage to an heiress in the reign of Edward IV. Trafford, Esq. of Oughtrington was the lineal descendant of this branch but assumed the name Trafford in compliance with the will of a maternal uncle. 4. Legh of Adlington, who became extinct by the death of Charles Legh in 1781 were descended from Robert, a younger son of the first John Legh of Booths. 5. Legh of Baguely were descended from Sir William Legh, a younger son of the second Sir John Legh of Booths but became extinct in 1688. 6. Legh of Lyme were descended from Piers, a younger son of Robert Legh of Adlington mentioned above, and became extinct by the death of Thomas Peter Legh of Lyme in 1797. 7. Legh of Ridge arise from John a younger son of Sir Peter Legh of Lyme, who married the heiress of Alcock of Ridge. 8. Leigh of Ifell in Cumberland, extinct from about 1600 9. Leigh of Middleton in Yorkshire. 10. Leigh of Egginton in Derbyshire, Rinshall in Staffordshire, Stoneley in Warwickshire and Addlestrop in Gloucestershire all derive their descent from a younger son of the first Legh of Ridge."

------Following Copied from "Leigh and Legh of High Legh" website, www.users.totalise.co.uk: ------

The Leigh Family of West Hall

D. & S. Lysons in Magna Britannia, give details of the relationship of several branches of the Legh and Leigh families and the notes below shown indented are simplified from this source. The Leighs of West Hall arrived in High Legh about 70 years after the Leghs of East Hall.

"Egerton Leigh of West Hall in High Legh and Twemlow, Esq. is descended from Richard Lymme who in the late 13th century married Agnes the daughter and sole heiress of Richard de Legh. Agnes had a second husband, William Venables, and they had a son, John, who (also) took the name of Legh and settled at Booths. William Venables was descended from Gilbert Venables the first baron of Kinderton who held land in Cheshire under Hugh Lupus after the Norman Conquest.

Children of William Venables and Agnes Legh are: 6904516 i. John de Legh, of Booths Hall, born Abt. 1280 in Booths Hall, Norbury, Cheshire, England; married (1) Ellen Dent in 1st wife; married (2) Ellen de Corona, Heiress of Adlington Bef. 1305 in 2nd wife. ii.

Notes for Sir William* de Brereton: Sir William Brereton of Brereton, ward of Sir Richard Sonbach (Sandbach), who had grant of the wardship of said William from William de Venables, Baron of Kinderton, to marry him or his younger brother, Gilbert Brereton, if William died under age, to one of the legitimate daughters of Richard Sandbach. Such were the precious servitudes of our ancestors; and great must have been the docility and tractability of the adults (and it is a remarkable trait in feudal manners) in submitting their inclinations in the serious article of marriage to the inscrutable wisdom of their seniors. Accordingly we find the heir of Brereton, William, was (nolens volens) married to the daughter of Richard Sandbach. The manor of Sandbach is given in Domesday among the possessions of the Bigot-Bigod family, whose manors subsequently formed the fee of Aldford, of which Sandbach was a dependency. A family was certainly settled here in the reign of King John, who held Sandbach from Aldford fee, and had assumed the local name. Near the manor house of Sandbach is the market place containing the Crosses of Sandbach, which may indisputably be ranked among the finest monuments of antiquity, of the kind, now existing in the kingdom. They are supposed to have been erected shortly after the introduction of Christianity

263 on the places where it was first preached. The present height of the Greater Cross is 16 ft. 8 in.

Children of William* de Brereton and Cicelie de Sandbach are: i. Sir William* de Brereton, born Abt. 1277 in Brereton, Cheshire, England; married Roesia de Vernon; born Abt. 1289 in Shipbrook, Northwich, Cheshire, England; died Aft. 1322.

She was living 15th of Edward II, 1322, in which year she joins her husband in constituting their son, Richard Brereton, their attorney to receive seizin of lands in Brereton. In 1301 the same Sir William gives 100 marks to Thomas, son of Roger Davenport, for the marriage of his son John to William's daughter Margery, which marriage was dissolved in 1305.

Though peerage articles, including CP [Complet Peerage] V 472, have long identified Ida No. 27 [ie. this Ida] as a daughter of Gen. 26 [William Longspee & Ela FitzPatrick], it is clear that their daughter Ida actually married (1) Ralph de Somery (dsp) and (2) bef. 1220 William Beauchamp, of Bedford (see 122A-29 (CP XII (1) note g, which says this Ida living 10 Apr 1262). Moriarty (ms. at NEHGS) suggested William Longespee had two daughters Ida, or Idoine, which may be correct. But there appears almost a generation difference between the two Ida's, so the chronicler may have missed a generation and Ida No 27 may be the daughter of William's son William II (122-29). [Ancestral Roots]

Note: based on the above, I am making Ida, a daughter of William II Longespee.

Notes for William* Malet II: [Master File.ftw]

William II Malet, the Surety of the Magna Charta, was mentioned in 1194 as a minor, in connection with an expedition made that year into Normandy. His principal estate was Curry-Malet. From 1210 to 1214 he was Sheriff of the counties of Somerset and Dorset. When he joined with the barons against King John and became one of the twenty-five Sureties his lands in four counties were confiscated and given to his son-in-law, Hugh de Vivonia, and to his father-in-law, Thomas Basset, and Malet was excommunicated by the Pope in 1216. He was also fined 2,000 marks, but this remained unpaid until after his death, and at that time 1,000 marks were remitted, being found due him for military service to King John at Poitou. It is interesting to note that there were five contemporary relatives named William Malet, and they all held lands in England or in Jersey. He died about 1217, having married Mabel (Alice) (Alicia) Basset, daughter of Thomas Basset, of Headington. She survived him and married (2) John Biset. William and his wife had two sons who died in their father's lifetime and three daughters

She was the daughter of 48267810. Third Earl of Chester Hugh* De Keveliock and 48267811. Bertrade D'Evreux.

Notes for Amicia De Meschines: [Master File.ftw]

Illegitimate Ancestral File Number: 8WK7-T5 !"Royal Ancestors" by Michel Call, 1989, Chart # 11210, # 11397. *note* There is a disagreement about Amicia's ancestry. There is n oquestion that Hugh de Meschines is her father, but concerning her mother is another matter. Some including the LDS Archive records record Amicia as a legitmate daughter of Hugh and his wife, Beatrade de Mentfort, as I have recorded on these charts. Others, like Gary Boyd Roberts (Colonial Ancestory of Thomas Jefferson) and Ernest-Friedrick Kraentzler (Ancestry of Richard Plantagenet) either list her as an illegitament daughter or simply list her mothe ras unknown. The earl had another dau., whose legitimacy is questionable, namely, Amicia,* m. to Ralph de Mesnilwarin, justice of Chester, "a person," says Dugdale, "of very ancient family," from which union the Mainwarings, of Over Peover, in the co. Chester, derive. Dugdale considers Amicia to be a dau. of the earl by a former wife. But Sir Peter Leicester, in his Antiquities of Chester, totally denies her legitimacy. "I cannot but mislike," says he, "the boldness and ignorance of that herald who gave to Mainwaring (late of Peover), the elder, the quartering of the Earl of Chester's arms; for if he ought of right to quarter that coat, then must he be descended from a co-heir to the Earl of Chester; but he was not; for the co-heirs of Earl Hugh married four of the greatest peers in the kingdom."

* Upon the question of this lady's legitimacy there was a long paper war between Sir Peter Leicester and Sir Thomas Mainwaring---and eventually the matter was referred to the judges, of whose decision Wood says, "at an assize held at Chester, 1675, the controversy was decided by the justices itinerant, who, as I have heard, adjudged the right of the matter to Mainwaring." [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, pp. 365-6, Meschines, Earls of Chester]

Children of Rafe De Mainwaring and Amicia De Meschines are: 12066952 i. Roger De Mainwaring. ii. Bertred Mainwaring, born Abt. 1196 in England; died Aft. 1249; married Sheriff Henry* de Audley 1217 in Edgmond,Cheshire,England; born Abt. 1175 in Heleigh,Audley,Staffordshire,England; died Bef. November 19, 1246 in Mainwaring,Bersted,Sussex,England.

Notes for Sheriff Henry* de Audley: Henry de Alditheley was in great favor with Ranulph de Meschines, Earl of Chester and Lincoln (the most powerful subject in England in his time). Henry de Alditheley obtained from Ranulph de Meschines a grant of Newhall in Cheshire, with manors in Staffordshire and other parts, and for his adhesion to King John, in that monarch's struggle with the insurrectionary barons, a royal grant of the lordship of Storton, in Warwickshire, part of the possessions of Robert of Summerville. In the four first years of the reign of King Henry III. he executed the office of sheriff for the counties of Salop and Stafford, as deputy for his patron, the great Earl Ranulph. In the 10th year of Henry III. this Henry de Alditheley was appointed governor of the castles of Carmarthen and Cardigan, and made sheriff the next year of the counties of Salop and Stafford and constable of the castles of Salop and Bridgenorth, which sheriffalty he held for five years. Upon his retirement from office, he had a confirmation of all such lands, whereof he was then possessed, as well as those granted to him by Ranulph, Earl of Chester, and Nicholas de Verdon, as those in Ireland, given him by Hugh de Lacy, Earl of Ulster, whose constable he was in that province. He subsequently obtained diverse other territorial grants from the crown, but, notwithstanding, when Richard Mareschal, Earl of Pembroke, rebelled, and made an incursion into Wales, the king, Henry

268 III., thought it prudent to secure the persons of this Henry, and all the other barons-marchers. He was afterwards, however, constituted governor of Shrewsbury, in the place of John de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, and on the death of John, Earl of Chester, governor of the castle of Chester, and also that of Beeston, then called the "Castle on the Rock," and soon after made governor of Newcastle-under-Lyne. This powerful feudal baron married Bertred Meisnilwarin, daughter of Ralph de Meisnilwarin. of Cheshire. He died in 1236, having founded and endowed the Abbey of Hilton, near to his castle at Heleigh, in Staffordshire, for Cisterian monks, and was succeeded by his son, James. [Homer Beers James]

Lucy, and died by 12 Nov 1295. [Burke's Peerage]

------

Nicholas de Segrave, who, in the 43rd Henry III [1259], attended that monarch into Frances, but soon after espoused the cause of the barons and became one of their most active leaders. In the 47th of Henry's reign [1263], he was amongst those who appeared openly in arms and fortified Northampton, for which proceeding his lands were seized by the crown. Upon the subsequent fall of Northampton to the royalists, Nicholas de Segrave fled to London, where the citizens having raised a large army for the barons made him their general. At the head of this force, he marched with Gilbert de Clare and Henry de Hastings to the siege of Rochester, and thence to Lewes, at which place the celebrated battle, so disastrous to the king, commenced by a charge made by Segrave and the head of the Londoners; in this, however, he was worsted by Prince Edward who, flushed with success, pursued his advantage too far and thus mainly contributed to the defeat which the royal arms sustained. This issue of this battle is well known. The king, Prince Edward, and the chief of their adherents became prisoners to the rebels who followed up their triumph by immediately summoning a parliament in the king's name, to which Nicholas de Segrave was summoned as Baron Segrave, 24 December, 1264. But the tide soon ebbing, he was among the defeated at Evesham where he was wounded and make prisoner. He was, however, admitted to the benefit of the Dictum of Kenilworth, and obtained a full pardon with restoration of his lands which had been seized. In four years afterwards, he attended Prince Edward to the Holy Land and when that prince ascended the throne, he appears to have enjoyed a large share of royal favour. In the 4th year of Edward's reign [1276], he was with the king in a campaign against the Welsh and was subsequently employed in Scotland and Ireland, having had a second summons to parliament 24 June, 1295. His lordship m. Maud de Lucy, by whom he had issue, John, Nicholas, Geoffrey, Peter, Gilbert, and Annabel. Lord Segrave d. 1295, and was s. by his eldest son, John de Segrave, 2nd baron.

[Burke's Peerage]

------

John de Segrave, 2nd baron, b. 1256, summoned to parliament from 26 August, 1296, to 6 May, 1325. This nobleman, in the lifetime of his father having been taken prisoner in the wars of Scotland (9th Edward I) [1281], obtained from the king, in consideration of his services there, the grant of £100 towards the liquidation of his ransom. He was subsequently much engaged in the Scottish wars, and in the 24th of the same reign, was constable of the English army in that country. The next year he was by indenture retained to serve Roger le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, with six knights, himself accounted, as well in time of peace as in war, for the term of his whole life, in England, Wales and Scotland; viz, in the time of peace with six horses, so long as the earl should think fit, taking Bouche of Court for himself and his knights, and for his esquires, hay and oats; as also livery for six more horses and wages for six groom and their horses; likewise for himself two robes yearly, as well in time of peace as war, as for a banneret;

272 and for his five knights, as for his other bachelors, viz., two yearly. Moreover, in time of war, he was bound to bring with him his five knights with twenty horses, and in consideration thereof, to receive for himself and his company, with all those horses, 40s. per day, but if he should bring no more than six horses, then 32s.; it being likewise agreed that the horses should be valued to the end that a fair allowance might be made for any which should be lost in the service. For the performance of this covenant, he had a grant of the manor of Lodene, co. Norfolk.

In the 26th Edward I [1298], his lordship was again in Scotland and had a principal command at the battle of Falkirk. In three years after, he obtained license to make a castle at his manor house of Bretteby, co. Derby, and he was next constituted governor of Berwick-upon-Tweed, as also warden of Scotland. Subsequently, we find him with King Edward at the celbrated siege of Caerlaverock. After the accession of Edward II [1307], he was again made warden of Scotland and within a short time attending the king into that usual theatre of war, was amongst the worsted in the great defeat sustained by the English arms at Bannockburn, and was made prisoner by the Scots, who detained him for a year until he was exchanged for Thomas de Moram and other prisoners of that realm who were incarcerated in London. His lordship eventually lost his life in Gascony whither he was sent by the king, who had conceived some displeasure against him for the escape of Roger Mortimer out of the Tower of London, under pretence of defending those parts with Edmund, Earl of Kent, and others, where, being a great mortality, he d. anno 1325. His lordship m. in the lifetime of his father, in 1270, Christian, dau. of Sir Hugh de Plessetis, Knt., by whom he had issue, Stephen.

36700160. Ruald* Adolphus Lovecote, born 1066.

Notes for Ruald* Adolphus Lovecote: [Master File.ftw]

Ruald was a companion of William the Conqueror. Lovecote, or love Cottage as it was called was given to Ruald (who held the Manor of Lovecote at the time of the Domesday Book in 1066) and held by the Lippincotts in the line of succession. the earliest notice of Lovecote is to be found in 1080 in the domesday Book (Census) made by order of William the Conqueror of lands held b y King Edward the Confessor 1041/1066. Following is a translation of the entry on page 115 of Vol I of this first census of England: "Ruald himself held Lovecote. Lofe held it in the time of Edward the Confessor, paying geld (tax) on a half vergate of land, now returned, s two ox-gangs or plow-lands. There remain two villani or serf, formerly (time of Edward) valued at thirty, but now fifty, denarii " A government report included "Terra Rualdi Adobati in Devensesara" of "lands held by Rualdus Adobatus in Devonshire". The family of Lippincott derived its name from "Lovecote" seat of the family for 350 plus yers. Luffincote, a corruption of the ancient name, is a Parish some twenty miles west of Lovecote on the western border of Devon. This Saxon name implies that a Proprietor named Love (Lofe) held the house, cote and lands: hence called Lovecote, which name was probably already ancient. Surnames were not settled until about the time of William the conqueror, so Lovecote, Loughsyngcote, Lyvenscott, Luffincott variations became fixed in Lippincott during the past two centuries. The college of Heralds at London has granted eight differenct Coats of Arms to this family. The Lovecote estate is located in Devonshire at Highampton, about 30 mi southwest of Webworthy (Wibbery), between Hatherleigh and Holsworthy, in the west of Devonshire; in the southwest part of England. Ruald held thirty manors in Devonshire, as per authority of the Domesday Book and Rev. R.

Notes for Robert* Fitz Walter: [Master File.ftw]

Robert Fitz Walter, feudal Lord of Woodham Walter; foremost of the 25 Barons (magnates rather than peers of Parliament) enforcing the Magna Carta; killed at the siege of Damietta, Egypt, 9 Dec 1235. [Burke's Peerage]

------

Robert's daughter Maud (or Matilda) was the basis of the legendary Maid Marion of Robin Hood. Leader of the

275 Barons against King John.

------

This feudal lord, upon the assessment of the scutage of Scotland in the 13th of John [1212], had the king's especial writ of acquittal for sixty-three knights' fees and a half, which were of his own proper inheritance; and for thirty knights' fees, and a third part which he had acquired by marriage. But the next year he was forced to fly with his family into France in order to avoid being arrested upon the first disposition of the barons to revolt; and was soon afterwards charged with treason and rebellion, when his house, called Baynard Castle, in the city of London, was demolished by order of the king.

"The primary occasion of these discontents," say Dugdale, "is by some thus reported: viz., -- that this Robert Fitz- Walter having a very beautiful dau. called Maude, residing at Dunmow, the king frequently solicited her chastity but, never prevailing, grew so enraged that he caused her to be privately poisoned, and that she was buried at the south side of the quire at Dunmow, between two pillars there."

FitzWalter, however, is said, subsequently, to have made his peace with King John by the great prowess and valour he displayed at a tournament, held in Normandy before the kings of France and England, where, running a tilt with his great lance, he overthrew his rival at the first course, which act of gallantry caused the English monarch to exclaim, "By God's Tooth, he deserves to be a king who hath such a soldier of his train;" and afterwards, ascertaining the name of the victorious knight, he immediately sent for him and, having restore his barony, gave him liberty to repair his castle of Baynard. In the 17th of King John, FitzWalter had so far regained the confidence of the crown that he was appointed governor of the castle at Hertford; but soon after, arraying himself under the baronial banner, his lands were all seized and those in Cornwall committed to Prince Henry, the king's son; a course of proceeding that had the immediate effect of riveting the haughty baron to the cause which he had espoused, while his high rank, tried courage, and acknowledged abilities soon gave him a lead amongst his compeers. We find him, therefore, amongst the first commissioners nominated to treat with the king when it was agreed that the city of London should be delivered up to the barons, and twenty-five of those powerful feudal chiefs chosen to govern the realm. The insurrectionary lords subsequently assembled at St. Edmundsbury, and there pledged themselves, by solemn oath at the high altar, that, if the king refused to confirm the laws and liberties granted by Edward the Confessor, they would withdraw their allegiance from him and seize upon his fortresses. After which, forming themselves into a regular army, they appointed this Robert FitzWalter their general with the title of Marshal of the army of God and the Church, and under his command they eventually extorted the Great Charters of Freedom from John on the plains of Runnymede, when FitzWalter was elected one of the celebrated twenty-five appointed to see the faithful observance of those laws. He continued, during the remainder of John's reign, equally firm to his purpose; and after the accession of Henry III until the battle of Lincoln, where the baronial army sustained a signal defeat under his command, and he became a prisoner himself after displaying a more than ordinary degree of valour. He does not appear, however, to have remained long under restraint, for we find him the very next year in the Holy Land, and assisting at the great siege of Damietta.

This eminent feudal baron m. 1st, Gunnora, dau. and heiress of Robert de Valoines, and had issue, Walter, his successor; Matilda; Christian, m. 1st to William Mandeville, Earl of Essex, and 2ndly, to Raymond de Burgh.

276 Notes for Sir Knight William* De Longespee II: [Master File.ftw]

William de Longespee,eldest son of William, Earl of Salisbury, "commonly called," says Sir William Dugdale, "by Matthew Paris, and most of our other historians, Earl of Salisbury, but erroneous, for all records wherein mention is made of his do not give him that title, but called him barely William Longespee. Nay, there is an old chronicle who saith expressly, that, in anno 12233 (17th Henry III), he was girt with the sword of knighthood, but not made Earl of Salisbury." This William made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1240, and again in 1247, having assumed the cross for a second pilgrimage, proceeded to Rome, and thus preferred a suit to the sovereign pontiff. "Sir, you see that I am signed with the cross and am on my journey with the King of France to fight in this pilgrimage. My name is great and of note, viz., William Longespee, but my estate is slender, for the king of England, my kinsman and liege lord, hath bereft me of the title of earl and of that estate, but this he did judiciously, and not in displeasure, and by the impulse of his will; therefore I do not blame him for it. Howbeit, I am necessitated to have recourse to your holiness for favour, desiring your assistance in this distress. We see here (quoth he) that Earl Richard (of Cornwall) who, though he is not signed with the cross, yet, through the especial grace of your holiness, he hath got very much money from those who are signed, and therefore, I, who am signed and in want, do intreat the like favour." The pope taking into consideration the elegance of his manner, the efficacy of his reasoning, and the comeliness of his person, conceded in part what he desire; whereupon he received above 1,000 marks from those who had been so signed. In about two years after this, anno 1249, having received the blessing of his noble mother, Ela, then abbess of Lacock, he commenced his journey at the head of a company of 200 English horse and, being received with great respect by the king of France, joined that monarch's army. In Palestine he became subsequently pre-eminently distinguished and fell, in 1250, in a great conflict with the Saracens, near Damieta, having previously kill above 100 of the enemy with his own hand. It was reported that, the bight before the battle, his mother Ela, the abbess, saw in a vision the heavens open and her son armed at all parts (whose shield she well knew), received with joy by the angels. Remembering the occurrence when the news of his death reached her in six months after, she held up her hands, and, with a cheerful countenance, said, "I, thy handmaid, give thanks to thee, O Lord, that out of my sinful flesh thou hast caused such a champion against thine enemies to be born." It was also said that, in 1252, when messengers were sent to the Soldan of Babylon for redemption of those who had been taken prisoner, he thus addressed them -- "I marvel at you, Christians, who reverence the bones of the dead, why you inquire not for those of the renowned and right noble William Longespee, because there be many things reported of them (whether fabulous or not I cannot say), viz., that, in the dark of the night there have been appearances at his tomb, and that to some, who called upon his God, many things were bestowed from Heaven. For which cause, and in regard of his great worth and nobility of birth, we have caused his body to be here intombed." Whereupon the messenger desiring it, the remains were delivered to them by the Soldan, and thence conveyed to Acre where they were buried in the church of St. Cross. This eminent and heroic personage m. Idonea, dau. and heir of Richard de Camville, and had issue, William de Longespee, his son and heir. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, England, 1883, p. 168, d'Evereux, Earls of Salisbury]

Sir WILLIAM LONGESPEE, 1st son and heir, a minor at his father's death, took part in the King's expedition to Brittany in 1230, Henry having intended that he should be knighted at Easter; but he was actually knighted by the King at Gloucester, Whitsuntide 1233, and later in that year he was at Grosmont with the King in his unsuccessful expedition against the recalcitrant barons in the West. In 1237-38, presumably after his mother had taken the veil, he claimed unsuccessfully in the King's Court, by hereditary right, custody of Salisbury Castle and the comitatus of Wilts, of which Earl Patrick was seised in the time of Henry II. In 1236 he had taken the cross, and he was on crusade from June 1240 to early in 1242. From May 1242 to October 1243 he took part in an expedition to France, fighting at Saintes. He was in Wales on service in 1245. In 1247 he again took the cross, starting in July 1249 as leader of the English crusaders. He fell, fighting heroically, at Mansura on the Nile. He married (according to an arrangement made in April 1216), Idoine, daughter and heir of Richard DE CAMVILLE, by Eustache, daughter of Gilbert BASSET. He died 7 February 1249/50, his body being later removed to Acre. His widow died between 1 January 1250/1 and 21 September 1252. [CP 11:382-3]

Notes for James* de Audley: James de Alditheley was a great favorite of Richard, Earl of Cornwall, at whose coronation as King of Almaine (Germany) he assisted. He had livery of his lands in the 31st year of King Henry III., and was

277 constituted in two years afterwards constable of Newcastle-under-Lyne. Being one the lords-marchers he was actively employed for some years against the Welsh, and was appointed governor of the castles of Salop and Bridgenorth, and sheriff of the counties of Salop and Stafford. He was the Justice of Chester, sealed 1259. In the 47th year of Henry III., he was made Justice of Ireland; and in the same year, upon the misunderstanding between the king and the barons, regarding the provisions of Oxford, being referred to the arbitration of monarch of France, he was one of the noblemen who undertook for the king therein. The next year we find him with Roger de Mortimer and the other barons-marchers, giving battle to Llewellyn, Prince of Wales, and afterwards joining the Earl of Gloucester at Evesham in rescuing the king, who had become captive to the Earl of Leicester at the battle of Lewes. In the 52nd year of Henry III., he performed a pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James in Galicia, in Spain, and the following year embarked in the Crusade with the king and Prince Edward. He married Ela, daughter of William Longespee, Earl of Salisbury. She was living in 1282. [Homer Beers James] He died of a broken neck

Notes for Grimaldus*: [Master File.ftw]

From Genforum:

Grimaldus m. Unknown. Bacon is the name of an ancient seigniory in Normandy, and from this place the Norman ancestors in England took their name nearly a thousand years ago. According to the genealogy of the Suffolk family of Bacon, one Grimald, or Grimaldus, a relative of the Norman chieftain, William de Warrenne, came to England in 1066 at the time of the Conquest and settled near Holt, in County Suffolk. His son, or Great Grandson Robert, took the surname Bacon, or rather assumed the use of the place-name as a surname. In the north of France the surname Bacon is still in use. William Bacon in 1082 endowed the Abbey of Holy Trinity at Caen. The surname Bacon is found in the Battle Rolls in England in the eleventh century and in the Hundred Rolls in the thirteenth. There are occasional variations in spelling, such as Bacun and Bachun, and in some instances the surname Bacon may have been corrupted from Beacon. Some derive the surname from the Saxon baccen or baccen, a beech tree.

Notes for Third Earl of Chester Hugh* De Keveliock: [Master File.ftw]

This nobleman, Hugh (Keveliok), 3rd Earl of Chester, joined in the rebellion of the Earl of Lancaster and the King of Scots against King Henry II, and in support of that monarch's son, Prince Henry's pretensions to the crown. In which proceeding he was taken prisoner with the Earl of Leicester at Alnwick, but obtained his freedom soon afterwards upon the king's reconciliation with the young prince. Again, however, hoisting the standard of revolt both in England and Normandy, with as little success, he was again seized and then detained a prisoner for some years. He eventually, however, obtained his liberty and restoration of his lands when public tranquility became completely reestablished some time about the 23rd year of the king's reign. His lordship m. Bertred, dau. of Simon, Earl of Evereux, in Normandy, and had issue, I. Ranulph, his successor; I. Maud, m. to David, Earl of Huntingdon, brother of William, King of Scotland, and had one son and four daus., viz., 1. John, surnamed le Scot, who s. to the Earldom of Chester, d. s. p. 7 June, 1237; 1. Margaret, m. to Alan de Galloway, and had a dau., Devorguilla, m. to John de Baliol, and was mother of John de Baliol, declared King of Scotland in the reign of Edward I; 2. Isabel, m. to Robert de Brus, and was mother of Robert de Brus, who contended for the crown of Scotland, temp. Edward I; 3. Maud, d. unm.; Ada, m. to Henry de Hastings, one of the competitors for the Scottish crown, temp. Edward I; II. Mabill, m. to William de Albini, Earl of Arundel; III. Agnes, m. to William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby; IV. Hawise, m. to Robert, son of Sayer de Quincy, Earl of Winchester.

The earl had another dau., whose legitimacy is questionable, namely, Amicia,* m. to Ralph de Mesnilwarin, justice of Chester, "a person," says Dugdale, "of very ancient family," from which union the Mainwarings, of Over Peover, in the co. Chester, derive. Dugdale considers Amicia to be a dau. of the earl by a former wife. But Sir Peter Leicester, in his Antiquities of Chester, totally denies her legitimacy. "I cannot but mislike," says he, "the boldness and ignorance of that herald who gave to Mainwaring (late of Peover), the elder, the quartering of the Earl of Chester's arms; for if he ought of right to quarter that coat, then must he be descended from a co-heir to the Earl of Chester; but he was not; for the co-heirs of Earl Hugh married four of the greatest peers in the kingdom."

The earl d. at Leeke, in Staffordshire, in 1181, and was s. by his only son, Ranulph, surnamed Blundevil (or rather Blandevil) from the place of his birth, the town of Album Monasterium, modern Oswestry, in Powys), as 4th Earl of Chester.

* Upon the question of this lady's legitimacy there was a long paper war between Sir Peter Leicester and Sir Thomas Mainwaring---and eventually the matter was referred to the judges, of whose decision Wood says, "at an assize held at Chester, 1675, the controversy was decided by the justices itinerant, who, as I have heard, adjudged the right of the matter to Mainwaring." [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, pp. 365-6, Meschines, Earls of Chester]

Notes for Lord of Arnesby Thomas le Despenser: [jweber3.FTW]

I have the same death date for Thomas as Burke's Peerage indicates his eldest son (also Thomas) had when he died without issue. His eldest son was "feudal Lord of Arnesby, Leics", which may be because his father was also of Arnesby, or he did it all on his own.

Children of Thomas le Despenser and Rohese are: i. Rohese le Despenser, born 1190 in Cheshire, England; died Bef. 1241; married Stephen* de Segrave in 1st wife; born Bef. 1179 in Segrave, Leicestershire, England; died November 09, 1241 in Leicester Abbey, Leicestershire, England.

[Burke's Peerage]

------

Stephen de Segrave, who, in the 5th King John [1204], was constable of the Tower of London, and, remaining faithful to that monarch in his conflicts with the barons, obtained a grant (17th John) [1216] of the lands of Stephen de Gant, lying in the cos. Lincoln and Leicester, with the manor of Kintone, co. Warwick. In the 4th Henry III [1220], he was made governor of Saubey Castle, Leicestershire, and the next year constituted sheriff of the cos. Essex and Hertford, and afterwards of Leicestershire. In the 8th of the same reign, he was governor of the castle at Hertford, and in two years after, one of the justices itinerant in the cos. Nottingham and Derby. About this period we find this successful person, whom Matthew Paris says, in his young days "from a clerk was made a knight," acquiring large landed property by purchase. In the 13th Henry III [1229], he bought the manor of Cotes, in the co. Derby, from the daus.

282 and heirs of Stephen de Beauchamp, and he afterwards purchase from Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln, all the lands which that nobleman possessed at Mount Sorrell, co. Leicester, without the castle, as also two carucates and a half lying at Segrave which himself and his ancestors had previously held at the rent of 14s. per annum. In the 16th Henry III, he obtained a grant of the custody of the castle and county of Northampton, as also of the cos. Bedford, Buckingham, Warwick, and Leicester, for the term of his life, taking the whole profit of all those shires for his support in that service, excepting the ancient farms which had usually been paid into the exchequer.

Having been of the king's council for several years, as also chief justice of the Common Pleas, he succeeded, in the 16th Henry III, Hubert de Burgh in the great office of justiciary of England, being at the same time constituted governor of Dover, Canterbury, Rochester, &c., and constable of the Tower of London. After this we find him, however, opposed by the bishops and barons and his manor house at Segrave burnt to the ground by the populace, as well as another mansion in the co. Huntingdon. The king, too, in this perilous crisis, deserted him and cited him, along with Peter de Rupibus, bishop of Winchester, and others who had been in power, to appear forthwith at court in order to answer any charge regarding the wasting of the public treasure, which might be preferred against them. Some of those persons, conscious of guilt, fled to sanctuary, and Stephen de Segrave sought an asylum in the abbey of Leicester, where he openly declared that he was and had been a priest, and that he resolved to shave his crown again to be a canon of that house. Nevertheless, upon second thoughts, he braved the storm and appeared at court under the archbishop's protection, where the king called him a wicked traitor, and told him that it was under his advice that he had displaced Hubert de Burgh from the office of justiciary and cast that eminent person into prison, nay, that had he gone the full length of his council, Hubert would have been hanged, and divers of the nobility banished. In twelve months subsequently, however, Stephen de Segrave made his peace by paying 1000 marks to the king, and he afterwards grew again into such favour that, in the 21st Henry III [1237], he was the means of reconciling the king with some of his most hostile barons. Subsequently he was made justice of Chester and the king's chief councillor, and "being now," says Dugdale, "advanced in years, deported himself by experience of former times with much more temper and moderation than heretofore."

This eminent person m. twice - 1st, Rohese, dau. of Thomas le Despencer, and 2ndly, Ida, sister of Henry de Hastings, with whom he had in frank-marriage, the manor of Bruneswaver, co. Warwick. of Stephen de Segrave, so distinguished in the reign of Henry III, Matthew Paris, thus speaks -- "This Stephen, though come of no high parentage, was in his youth, of a clerk made a knight; and in his latter days, through his prudence and valour, so exalted that he had the reputation of one of the chief men of the realm, managing the greatest affairs as he pleased. In doing whereof, he more minded his own profit than the common good, yet for some good deeds and making a discreet testament, he d. with much honour." He departed this life in 1241, and was s. by his son, Gilbert de Segrave.

Notes for William* E. De Longespee: [Master File.ftw]

William Longespee became Earl of Salisbury in right of his wife. In the beginning of King John's reign this nobleman was sheriff of Wiltshire, he was afterwards warden of the marches of Wales, and then sheriff of the counties of Cambridge and Huntingdon. About this period (14th John ) [1213], the baronial contest commencing, William Longespee at once espoused the royal cause and maintained it so stoutly that he was included by the barons amongst the evil councillors of the crown. The next year he was again constituted sheriff of Wilts and he held the office from that time during the remainder of his life. He had also a grant of the honour of Eye, in Suffolk, and was the same year a witness to the agreement made between King John and the barons as guarantee for the former. He was likewise a witness to the charter whereby John resigned his kingdom to the Pope. After this we find him a principal leader in the royal army until the very close of John's reign, when he swerved in his loyalty and joined, for a short period, the ranks of Lewis of France. Upon the accession, however, of Henry III [1216], he did homage to that monarch, particularly for the county of Somerset, which the king then gave him; and joining with William Marshall. governor of the king and kingdom, raised the siege of Lincoln when he was constituted sheriff of Lincolnshire and governor of Lincoln Castle, being invested at the same time with sheriff of the co. of Somerset, and governorship of the castle of Shirburne. His lordship soon afterwards accompanied the Earl of Chester to the Holy Land, and was at the battle of Damieta, in which the crescent triumphed. He served subsequently in the Gascon wars, whence returning to England, Dugdale relates, "there arose so great a tempest at sea that, despairing of life, he threw his money and rich apparel overboard. But when all hopes were passed, they discerned a mighty taper of wax burning bright at the prow of the ship and a beautiful woman standing by it who preserved it from wind and rain so that it gave a clear and bright lustre. Upon sight of which heavenly vision both himself and the mariners concluded of their future security, but everyone there being ignorant what this vision might portend except the earl, he, however, attributed it to the benignity of the blessed virgin by reason that, upon the day when he was honoured with the girdle of knighthood, he brought a taper to her altar to be lighted ever day at mass when the canonical hours used to be sung, and to the intent that, for this terrestrial light, he might enjoy that which is eternal." A rumour, however, reached England of the earls having been lost, and Hubert de Burgh, with the concurrence of the king, provided a suitor for his supposed widow, but the lady, in the interim, having received letters from her husband, rejected the suit with indignation. The earl soon after came to the king at Marlborough and, being received with great joy, he preferred a strong complaint against Hubert de Burgh, adding that, unless the king would do him right therein, he should vindicate himself otherwise to the disturbance of the public peace. Hubert, however, appeased his wrath with rich presents, and invited him to his table, where it is asserted that he was poisoned, for he retired to his castle of Salisbury in extreme illness and died almost immediately after, anno 1226. His lordship left issue, four sons and five daus., viz., William, his successor; Richard, a canon of Salisbury; Stephen, Justiciary of Ireland; Nicholas, bishop of Salisbury; Isabel, m. to William de Vesci; Ela, m. 1st, to Thomas, Earl of Warwick, and 2ndly to Philip Basset, of Hedendon; Idonea, m. to William de Beauchamp, Baron of Bedford; Lora, a nun at Lacock; and Ela, jun., m. to William de Odingsells. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, England, 1883, p. 167, d'Evereux, Earls of Salisbury]

------

I have attached William to Rosamund Clifford as that is how it is shown by Brian Tompsett at Directory of Royal Genealogical Data, although he provides the following notes: "The House of Clifford, Chapter 5: Much controversy surrounds the identity of the Mother of William, for Rosamund was not the king's only mistress, though there are many who believe she was. Those who dispute Rosamund's claim base their case on the disparity in the ages of all concerned, but there is other evidence as well which can not be ignored. Unfortunately, the records date neither the birth of Rosamund nor that of her father, or her reputed sons. Documents also indicate an Ida, and an Ykenai as his mother. Died on Crusade."

------

289 William Longsword, 3rd earl of Salisbury, Longsword also spelled LONGESPÉE (d. March 7, 1226, Salisbury, Wiltshire, Eng.), an illegitimate son of Henry II of England, and a prominent baron, soldier, and administrator under John and Henry III. He acquired his lands and title from Richard I, who in 1196 gave him the hand of the heiress Ela, or Isabel, daughter of William, earl of Salisbury. He held numerous official positions in England under John.

He was sent on missions to France (1202) and to Germany (1209). In 1213-14 he organized John's Flemish allies, taking part in the destruction (1213) of the French fleet at Damme, then the port of Bruges, and leading the right wing of the allied army at Bouvines (July 27, 1214), where he was captured. He was exchanged and was back in England by May 1215, when he was employed by John in inspecting the defenses of royal castles and fighting the rebels in the southwest.

During John's war against the barons, Salisbury deserted the king after the landing of Louis of France (May 1216); he returned to royal allegiance, however, by March 1217, fought at Lincoln (May) and Sandwich (August), and attested the Treaty of Kingston (September 1217). Salisbury held various posts during the minority of Henry III and served against the Welsh in 1223 and in Gascony in 1225. He and his wife were benefactors of Salisbury Cathedral and laid foundation stones of the new cathedral in 1220. William was buried there and his effigy, a splendid early example, still survives. [Britannica CD '97]

EARLDOM OF WILTSHIRE IV. 3. EARLDOM OF SALISBURY

III. 3. ELA (or ISABEL), only daughter and heir, born circa 1191, in 1196 was given by Richard I, with the Earldom of SALISBURY, to his bastard brother, WILLIAM LONGESPEE. He was with Richard I in Normandy 1196-98; and was present at John's Coronation, 27 May 1199. Sheriff of Wilts, Midsummer 1199-1202; 1203- 1207; 1213 till his death. In 1202 he went on a diplomatic mission to France; in 1203 he was keeper of the castle of Avranches; in 1204, with the Earl Marshal, he escorted Llewelyn to the King at Worcester. Keeper of the castle and honor of Eye, 1205; in which year he led a small band of knights to Rochelle. He was of the escort of William the Lion, King of Scots, to meet John at York, November 1206. In 1208, when the King anticipated the Interdict by several orders regarding monks and clergy who refused to celebrate divine service, those of the diocese of Ely were put under the direction of the Earl of Salisbury. He headed an Embassy in March 1209 to the prelates and princes of Germany, on behalf of the King's nephew Otto; in December he was appointed Keeper of the March of Wales. He attended John on his expedition to Ireland, 1210. From May 1212 to March 1215/6 sheriff of Cambs and Hunts; sometime (certainly in 1212-13, when invasion from France threatened) Keeper of Dover Castle; in Aug. 1212, supervisor of the keeper of the Archbishopric of Canterbury. He was one of the 4 Earls who, at Dover in May 1213, swore that John would observe the terms laid down by the Pope for satisfaction of the bishops, and witnessed his declaration of homage to the Papal See. He was then preparing an expedition, of which he was joint commander, to help the Count of Flanders against France. In June he went overseas again in the same cause, with a credit of over 20,000 marks. In 1214, as Marshal of the King of England, he commanded combined forces which recovered almost all Flanders for the Count; but on 27 July the Earl and the Counts of Flanders and Boulogne were captured at the battle of Bouvines. In May 1215 he was one of the 3 Earls appointed to visit and examine the state of the royal castles, and a messenger from the King to the City of London; and he was at Runnymede in June, on the King's side. Later in the year, with Falkes de Bréauté, the Earl led a punitive expedition into the eastern counties. He remained a zealous loyalist till after mid-June 1216; but, presumably before the end of the month, when Louis had entered Winchester, the Earl surrendered Salisbury Castle to him. He had returned to his allegiance before 7 March 1216/7, when his lands were restored to him. On 14 March he had a grant of Sherborne Castle and the co. of Somerset, and under grants of Somerset and Devon, 14 and 17 August, he served as sheriff of both counties till Michaelmas 1217. At Whitsuntide he marched with the Earl Marshal to the relief of Lincoln. In August he was with Hubert de Burgh in the victory over the French fleet off Thanet, and in September he witnessed the treaty with Louis at Lambeth. He was among the guarantors of the truce with France, March 1219/20. In 1220 he and his Countess laid the 4th and 5th stones at the founding of the new cathedral at New Sarum. He was with the King, October 1223, in the successful expedition against Llewellyn. In 1224 Keeper of the Castles of Bridgnorth and Shrewsbury, accounting as sheriff of Salop and Staffs, Christmas 1223 to Michaelmas 1224. In 1225 he went with the young Earl of Cornwall, as supervisory commander, on a successful expedition to Gascony. He died 7 March 1225/6 in Salisbury Castle, and was buried in the Cathedral. After his death, the Countess, who (according to the Lacock account) was born 1187, did homage for her inheritance, 19 March 1225/6; on the 23rd she was required to surrender Salisbury Castle; the

290 county of Wilts was committed to her during pleasure, 22 January 1226/7. She founded Lacock Abbey, 1229; took the veil there in 1238; was Abbess, 1240-57; died 24 August 1261, and was buried there. [CP 11:379-82]

Notes for Countess of Salisbury Ela* Fitzpatrick: Countess of Salisbury, buried in Lacock Abbey, WIL, England. Countess of Devereaux

Incidentally, Ela herself was also an Abbess at the same time. She had founded Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire, in 1232, became a nun there in 1238 (taking her vows on Christmas Day). Two years later she became its Abbess, living there for the next twenty years until her death in 1261. This caused big problems for her inheritance. For while she was still alive she remained Countess even though living in the Abbey, and the King would not permit her son to become Earl. Her son is said to have gone to Rome in 1247 to petition the Pope to gain the title, without success. The same applied to her grandson, and it was only after Ela's death that the titles came to her great- granddaughter Margaret, already married for four years to Henry Lacy, Earl of Lincoln.

Instead of being her sister, I have followed the suggestion of Ancestral Roots and made the Ida who married Walter FitzRobert, the daughter of William II Longespee.

------

The following is from Ancestral Roots, Line 30-26/27, concerning the Ida Longespee who married Walter Fitz Robert:

Though peerage articles, including CP [Complete Peerage] V 472, have long identified Ida No. 27 [who married Walter Fitz Robert] as a daughter of Gen. 26 [William Longspee & Ela FitzPatrick], it is clear that their daughter Ida actually married (1) Ralph de Somery (dsp) and (2) bef. 1220 William Beauchamp, of Bedford (see 122A-29 (CP XII (1) note g, which says this Ida living 10 Apr 1262). Moriarty (ms. at NEHGS) suggested William Longespee had two daughters Ida, or Idoine, which may be correct. But there appears almost a generation difference between the two Ida's, so the chronicler may have missed a generation and Ida No 27 may be the daughter of William's son William II (122-29).

Notes for Second Earl of Chester Ranulph* De Gernon De Meshines: EARLDOM OF CHESTER

V. 2. RANULPH, styled "DE GERNON," EARL OF CHESTER, also VICOMTE D'AVRANCHES, &C., in Normandy, son and heir. He was born before 1100, in the Castle of Gernon in Normandy. To the detriment of his elder brother of the half blood, William (de Roumare), Earl of Lincoln, he appears to have Iong held a large portion of the profits of the EARLDOM OF LINCOLN. He distinguished himself as a soldier both on the side of the Empress Maud and of that of King Stephen, with the greatest impartiality. He was one of the 5 Earls who witnessed the Charter to Salisbury granted at the Northampton Council of Henry I, 8 September 1131. To Stephen's second "Charter of Liberties" he was, in 1136, a witness, and by him he was made Constable of Lincoln. Against that King, however, he took part at the battle of Lincoln, 2 February 1141, in which Stephen was made prisoner, who retaliated on the Earl 29 August 1146, by seizing him at Court, at Northampton. The King granted him the Castle and city of Lincoln, probably after the pacification of 1151. He married, about 1141, Maud, daughter of Robert, EARL OF GLOUCESTER, by Mabel, daughter and heir of Robert FITZ-HAMOND, lord of Tewkesbury. Having again taken part with King Stephen, and being consequently distrusted by both sides, he died 16 [?17] December 1153, being supposed to have been poisoned by his wife and William Peverell, of Nottingham. He was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester. His widow, who in 1172 founded Repton Priory, co. Derby, died 29 July 1189. [CP 3:166-7, 14:170]

The monk Matthew Paris records "in this encounter chiefly deserveth honour the most heroic William de Albini, the Briton, who with his sword broke through the enemy and terminated the battle." When he became a supporter of the cause of Empress Maud, his castle of Belvoir, with all his great possessions, were seized by King Stephen, who presented them to Ranulph Gerons de Meschines, the Earl of Chester.

Notes for Third Earl Of Arundel William D'Aubigny: [Master File.ftw]

William D'AUBIGNY (E of Arundel) Notes: Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (126:29), (149:26). According to the "Dictionary of National Biography" William succeeded his father to the Earldom in 1196. He was a favourite of King JOHN (RIN 785), accompanying him to Runnymeade in 1215 and becoming one of the surities for his faithful observance of the Magna Charta. Because of JOHN's intransigence, a powerful group of barons offered the English crown to the son of King LOUIS VII (RIN 1530) of France.

------

Stephen de Segrave, who, in the 5th King John [1204], was constable of the Tower of London, and, remaining faithful to that monarch in his conflicts with the barons, obtained a grant (17th John) [1216] of the lands of Stephen de Gant, lying in the cos. Lincoln and Leicester, with the manor of Kintone, co. Warwick. In the 4th Henry III [1220], he was made governor of Saubey Castle, Leicestershire, and the next year constituted sheriff of the cos. Essex and Hertford, and afterwards of Leicestershire. In the 8th of the same reign, he was governor of the castle at Hertford, and in two years after, one of the justices itinerant in the cos. Nottingham and Derby. About this period we find this successful person, whom Matthew Paris says, in his young days "from a clerk was made a knight," acquiring large landed property by purchase. In the 13th Henry III [1229], he bought the manor of Cotes, in the co. Derby, from the daus. and heirs of Stephen de Beauchamp, and he afterwards purchase from Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln, all the lands which that nobleman possessed at Mount Sorrell, co. Leicester, without the castle, as also two carucates and a half lying at Segrave which himself and his ancestors had previously held at the rent of 14s. per annum. In the 16th Henry III, he obtained a grant of the custody of the castle and county of Northampton, as also of the cos. Bedford, Buckingham, Warwick, and Leicester, for the term of his life, taking the whole profit of all those shires for his support in that service, excepting the ancient farms which had usually been paid into the exchequer.

Having been of the king's council for several years, as also chief justice of the Common Pleas, he succeeded, in the 16th Henry III, Hubert de Burgh in the great office of justiciary of England, being at the same time constituted governor of Dover, Canterbury, Rochester, &c., and constable of the Tower of London. After this we find him, however, opposed by the bishops and barons and his manor house at Segrave burnt to the ground by the populace, as well as another mansion in the co. Huntingdon. The king, too, in this perilous crisis, deserted him and cited him, along with Peter de Rupibus, bishop of Winchester, and others who had been in power, to appear forthwith at court in order to answer any charge regarding the wasting of the public treasure, which might be preferred against them. Some of those persons, conscious of guilt, fled to sanctuary, and Stephen de Segrave sought an asylum in the abbey of Leicester, where he openly declared that he was and had been a priest, and that he resolved to shave his crown again to be a canon of that house. Nevertheless, upon second thoughts, he braved the storm and appeared at court under the archbishop's protection, where the king called him a wicked traitor, and told him that it was under his advice that he had displaced Hubert de Burgh from the office of justiciary and cast that eminent person into prison, nay, that had he gone the full length of his council, Hubert would have been hanged, and divers of the nobility banished. In twelve months subsequently, however, Stephen de Segrave made his peace by paying 1000 marks to the king, and he afterwards grew again into such favour that, in the 21st Henry III [1237], he was the means of reconciling the king with some of his most hostile barons. Subsequently he was made justice of Chester and the king's chief councillor, and "being now," says Dugdale, "advanced in years, deported himself by experience of former times with much more temper and moderation than heretofore."

This eminent person m. twice - 1st, Rohese, dau. of Thomas le Despencer, and 2ndly, Ida, sister of Henry de Hastings, with whom he had in frank-marriage, the manor of Bruneswaver, co. Warwick. of Stephen de Segrave, so distinguished in the reign of Henry III, Matthew Paris, thus speaks -- "This Stephen, though come of no high parentage, was in his youth, of a clerk made a knight; and in his latter days, through his prudence and valour, so exalted that he had the reputation of one of the chief men of the realm, managing the greatest affairs as he pleased. In doing whereof, he more minded his own profit than the common good, yet for some good deeds and making a discreet testament, he d. with much honour." He departed this life in 1241, and was s. by his son, Gilbert de Segrave.

Notes for Richard* de Lucy: [Master File.ftw]

The first mention of this family is in a render made by King Henry I of the lordship of Dice, in Norfolk (whether in requital of services, or as an inheritance, the record saith not) to Richard de Lucie, who was governor of Falais, in Normandy, temp. King Stephen, and defended that place with great valour when besieged by Geoffrey, Earl of Anjou, for which heroic conduct he had a grant of lands in the county of Essex with the services of divers persons, to hold by ten knights' fees. In the subsequent contest between Stephen and the Empress Maud, he remained steady in his allegiance to the former and obtained a victory of some importance near Wallingford Castle. Upon the adjustment of the dispute, the Tower of London and the castle of Winchester were, by the advice of the whole clergy, placed in the hands of this feudal lord, he binding himself by solemn oath and the hostage of his son to deliver them up on the death of King Stephen to King Henry, which, being eventually fulfilled, Richard de Lucy was constituted sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire in the 2nd of Henry II, A.D. 1156, and in three years afterwards, being with the king in Normandy, he was despatched to England to procure the election of Thomas à Becket, then lord chancellor, to the archiepiscopal see of Canterbury, vacant by the death of Theobald, Abbot of Becco. Soon after that he was appointed to the high office of Justice of England. In the 12th of this reign [1166], upon the aid then assessed for marrying the king's dau., he certified his knights' fees (lying in the cos. of Kent, Suffolk, and Norfolk) de veteri feoffamento, to be in number seven, and that his ancestors performed the service of Castle Guard at Dover, for the same, as also that he held on knight's fee more, de nova feoffamento, in the co. Devon.

About this time Becket, having fled into Normandy from the power of King Henry, came to Wiceliac to celebrate the feast of the ascension, and observing several persons of distinction present, amongst whom was this Richard de Lucie, he ascended the pulpit and there, with lighted candles, pronounced the sentence of excommunication against them all as public incendiaries betwixt the king and himself, but being neither convicted nor called to answer, they appealed and entered the church. Soon after this (13th Henry II) during a temporary absence of the king beyond sea, de Lucie was constituted Lieutenant of England, and again in 1173, when the Earl of Leicester and others having reared the standard of rebellion in behalf of Prince Henry, he besieged, in conjunction with Reginald, Earl of Cornwall, the town of Leicester and, having reduced it, demolished its walls and laid it in ashes. In 1178, he founded the priory of Westwode in the diocese of Rochester in honour of St. Thomas, of Canterbury, the martyr, and began, about the same time, the foundation of the priory of Lesnes, in Kent, which he munificently endowed. In this priory he subsequently assumed the habit of a canon regular and departing this life soon after (about 22nd Henry II) [1176], and was buried in the chapter-house there.

He m. Rohais ---, and had issue, Geffrey, who d. in his father's lifetime, leaving Richard, his son and heir, who

Notes for King of England Henry* Plantagenet II: [Master File.ftw] also FitzEmpress, and Curtmantle Reigned 1154-1189. He ruled an empire that stretched from the Tweed to the Pyrenees. In spite of frequent hostitilties with the French King his own family and rebellious Barons (culminating in the great revolt of 1173-74) and his quarrel with Thomas Becket, Henry maintained control over his possessions until shortly before his death. His judicial and administrative reforms which increased Royal control and influence at the expense of the Barons were of great constitutional importance. Introduced trial by Jury. Duke of Normandy

Henry II was born at Le Mans in 1133. He was the eldest son of the Empress Matilda, daughter of Henry I, by her second marriage to Geoffrey the Fair of Anjou. His parents' marriage was tempestous, and both parties were glad when politics brought a separation, with Matilda going to England to fight King Stephen, and Geoffrey of Normandy to win a heritage for young Henry.

He first came to England at the age of nine when his mother made her dramatic escape from Oxford where she was besieged by Stephen, across the ice and snow, dressed all in white, to welcome him at Wallingford. His next visit, when he was fourteen, showed his character: he recruited a small army of mercenaries to cross over and fight Stephen in England, but failed so miserably in the execution of his plans that he ended up borrowing money from Stephen to get back home. A third expedition, two years later, was almost as great a failure. Henry was not a soldier, his were skills of administration and diplomacy; warfare bored and sometimes frightened him. For the meanwhile he now concentrated on Normandy, of which his father had made him joint ruler. In 1151, the year of his father's death, he went to Paris to do homage to Louis VII for his duchy. There he met Queen Eleanor, and she fell in love with him.

Henry was by no means averse. To steal a king's wife does a great deal for the ego of a young duke; he was as lusty as she, and late in their lives he was still ardently wenching with 'the fair Rosamund' Clifford, and less salubrious girls with names like 'Bellebelle'; finally, she would bring with her the rich Duchy of Aquitaine, which she held in her own right. With this territory added to those he hoped to inherit and win, his boundaries would be Scotland in the north, and the Pyrenees in the south.

Henry was, apart from his prospects, a 'catch' for any woman. He was intelligent, had learned Latin and could read and possibly write; immensely strong and vigorous, a sportsman and hard rider who loved travel; emotional and passionate, prone to tears and incredible rages; carelessly but richly dressed, worried enough in later life to conceal his baldness by careful arrangement of his hair, and very concerned not to grow fat.

305 But now he was in the prime of youth, and in 1153, when he landed with a large force in Bristol, the world was ready to be won. He quickly gained control of the West Country and moved up to Wallingford for a crucial battle with Stephen. This was avoided, however, because in thepreparations for the battle Henry fell from his horse three times, a bad omen. Henry himself was not superstitious -- he was the reverse, a cheerful blasphemer -- but he disliked battles and when his anxious advisers urged him to heed the omen, he willingly agreed to parley privately with Stephen. The conference was a strange occasion: there were only two of them there, at the narowest point of the Thames, with Henry on one bank and Stephen on the other. None the less, they seem to have come to an agreement to take negotiations further.

That summer Stephen's son died mysteriously, and Eleanor bore Henry an heir (about the same time as an English whore Hikenai produced his faithful bastard Geoffrey). The omens clearly showed what was soon confirmed between the two -- that when Stephen died, Henry should rule in his place. A year later Stephen did die, and in December 1154, Henry and Eleanor were crowned in London.

Henry was only 21, but he soon showed his worth, destroying unlicensed castles, and dispersing the foreign mercenaries. He gave even-handed justice, showing himself firm, but not unduly harsh. A country racked by civil war sighed with relief. Only two major difficulties appeared: first Henry's failure in his two Welsh campaigns in 1157 and 1165, when guerilla tactics utterly defeated and on the first occasion nearly killed him; second was the reversal of his friendship for Becket when he changed from being Chancellor to Archbishop of Canterbury in 1162.

The quarrel with Becket was linked with the King's determination to continue his grandfather's reform of the administration of justice in the country. He was anxious for a uniform pattern, operated by royal justices, to control the corrupt, ill-administered and unequal local systems operated by barons and churchmen. At Clarendon in 1166 and Northampton in 1176, he got his council's agreeemnt to a series of measures which established circuits of royal justices dealing with the widest range of criminal activities. The method of operation was novel, too, relying on a sworn jury of inquest of twelve men. Though not like a modern jury, in that they were witnesses rather than assessors, the assize juries were the ancestors of the modern English legal system.

Henry travelled constantly, and much of the time in his Contninental territories, for there were constant rebellions to deal with, usually inspired or encouraged by Louis of France. Henry was determined to keep the integrity of his empire, and to pass it on as a unity. To do this was no small task, but in 1169 Henry held a conference with the King of France which he hoped would achieve his objectives: he himself again did homage for Normandy, his eldest son Henry did homage for Anjou, Maine and Brittany, and Richard for Aquitaine. The next year he had young Henry crowned in his own lifetime. If anything could preserve the succession, surely this would, yet, in fact, it brought all the troubles in the world onto Henry's head, for he had given his sons paper domains, and had no intention that they should rule his empire. Yet a man with a title does not rest until he has that title's power.

Late in 1171 Henry had a pleasant interlude in Ireland -- escaping from the world's condemnation for the murder of Becket. He spent Christmas at Dublin in a palace built for him out of wattles by the Irish.

Meanwhile, Eleanor had been intriguing with her sons, urging them to revolt and demand their rights. Early in 1173 they trooped off to the French court, and with Louis joined in an attack on Normandy. Henry clamped Eleanor into prison and went off to meet the new threat. Whilst he was busy meeting this, England was invaded from Flanders and Scotland, and more barons who fancied a return of the warlord days of Stephen broke into revolt.

Plainly it was St. Thomas's revenge, and there was no hope of dealing with the situation without expiation. In July 1174 Henry returned to England, and went in pilgrim's dress to Canterbury. Through the town he walked barefoot, leaving a trail of blood on the flinty stones, and went to keep his vigil of a day and a night by the tomb, not even coming out to relive himself. As he knelt, the assembled bishops and all the monks of Christchurch came to scourge him -- each giving him three strokes, but some with bitterness in their hearts laying on with five.

It was worth it though, for the very morning his vigil ended Henry was brought the news that the King of Scotland had been captured. He moved quickly northwards, receving rebels' submission all the time. He met up with Geoffrey who had fought valiantly for him, and commented, 'My other sons have proved themselves bastards, this one alone is my true and legitimate son.'

306 Returning to France, he quickly came to an agreement with Louis and his three rebel sons, giving each a substantial income, though still no share of power.

Richard set to work reducing the Duchy of Aquitaine to order, and quickly proved himself an able general who performed tremendous feats, such as capturing a fully manned and provisioned castle with three walls and moats to defend it. But the people were less easy to subdue -- they loved war for its own sake as their poet-leader, Bertrand de Born, shows well in his works: '. . . I love to see amidst the meadows tents and pavilions spread; and it gives me great joy to see drawn up on the field knights and horses in battle array; and it delights me when the scouts scatter people and herds in their path; and my heart is filled with gladness when I see strong castles besieged, and the stockades broken and overwhelmed, and the warriors on the bank, girt about by fosses, with a line of strong stakes, interlaced . . . Maces, swords, helms of different hues, shields that will be riven and shattered as soon as the fight begins; and many vassals struck down together; and the horses of the dead and wounded roving at random. And when battle is joined, let all men of good lineage think of nought but the breaking of heads and arms: I tell you I find no such savour in food or in wine or in sleep as in hearing the shout "On! On!" from both sides, and the neighing of steeds that have lost their riders, and the cries of "Help! Help!"; and in seeing men great and small go down on the grass beyond the fosses; in seeing at last the dead, with the pennoned stumps of lances still in their sides.'

These robust knights were actively encouraged by the young King Henry. He was handsome, charming and beloved of all, but also feckless and thoughtless -- far keener on tournaments and frivolity than the serious business of government. Then in the midle of his new rebellion he caught disentery and shortly died. His devoted followers were thunderstruck -- one young lad actually pined to death -- and the rebellion fizzled out.

The young king was dead, but Henry, wary of previous errors, was not going to rush into making a new one. He called his favourite youngest son, John, to his side and ordered Richard to give his duchy into his brother's hands. Richard -- his mother's favourite -- had made Aquitaine his home and worked hard to establish his control there; he refused to give his mother's land to anyone, unless it were back to Eleanor herself.

Henry packed John off to Ireland (which he speedily turned against himself) whilst he arranged to get Eleanor out of her prison and bring her to Aquitaine to receive back the duchy. Meanwhile the new King of France, Philip, was planning to renew the attack on English territories, all the while the three, Henry, Richard, and Philip, were supposed to be planning a joint crusade.

In 1188 Henry, already ill with the absessed anal fistula that was to cause him such an agonising death, refused pointblank to recognise Richard as his heir. The crazy project for substituting John was at the root of it all, though Henry may have deluded himself into thinking he was playing his usual canny hand.

But diplomacy was giving way to the Greekest of tragedies. In June 1189, Philip and Richard advanced on Henry at his birthplace in Le Mans, and he was forced to withdraw with a small company of knights, showering curses on God. Instead of going to the safety of Normandy, he rode hard, his usual long distance, deep into Anjou. This worsened his physical condition and, in high fever, he made no effort to call up forces to his aid. Forced to meet Philip and Richard, he was so ill he had to be held on his horse whilst he deliriously mumbled his abject agreement to their every condition for peace.

Back in bed after his last conference he was brought the news that John, for whom he had suffered all this, had joined the rebels' side. Two sons -- both rebels -- were dead, two sons -- both rebels -- lived, and it was his bastard Geoffrey who now tended him in his last sickness. There was not even a bishop in his suite to give him the last rites. Over and again he cried out in agony "Shame! shame on a vanquished king!"

After his death the servants plundered him, leaving him in a shirt and drawers. When the marshall came to arrange the burial he had to scratch around for garments in which to dress the body. A bit of threadbare gold edging from a cloak was put around Henry's head to represent his sovereignty.

And yet Henry had forseen it all. According to Gerald of Wales, he had long before ordered a fresco for one of his rooms at Winchester: the picture showed an eagle being pecked by three eaglets, and a fourth perched on his head, ready to peck out his eyes when the time should come.

First Plantaganet King of England (1154-1189), known as "Curt Mantel", was born at Le Mans, France, on March

307 15, 1133. At eighteen in 1151 he was invested with the Duchy of Normandy, his mother's heritage, and within a year became also, by his father's death, Count of Anjou; while in 1152 he married Eleanor of Aquitaine, the daughter of William X, Duke of Aquitaine, and divorced wife of King Louis VII. of France, added Poitou and Guienne to his dominions. In January 1153 he landed in England, and in November a treaty was agreed to whereby Henry was declared successor to King Stephen; he was crowned in 1154 and ruled until his death in 1189. He confirmed the laws of his grandfather, King Henry I, reestablished the exchequer, banished the foreign mercenaries, demolished the hundreds of castles erected in Stephen's reign, and recovered the royal estates. The whole of 1156 he spent in France, reducing his brother, Geoffrey of Nantes, who died in 1158, and having secured his territories, he spent the next five years warring and organizing his possessions on the Continent. Henry's objective was that of all Norman kings, to build up the royal power at the expense of the barons and the church. From the barons his reforms met with little serious opposition; with the clergy he was less successful. To aid him in reducing the church to subjection, he appointed his chancellor, Thomas a Becket to the see of Canterbury. Henry compelled him and the other prelates to agree to the 'Constitution of Clarendon', but Becket proved a sturdy churchman, and the struggle between him and the monarch terminated only by his murder. In 1174 Henry did penance at Becket's tomb, but he ended by bringing the church to subordination in civil matters. Meanwhile he organized an expedition to Ireland. The English Pope, Adrian IV, had in 1155 given Henry authority over the entire island of Ireland; and a number of Norman-Welsh knights had gained a footing in the country, among them Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke, styled Strongbow, who in 1155 married the heiress of Leinster and assumed rule as the Earl of Leinster. Henry was jealous at the rise of a powerful feudal baronage in Ireland, and during his stay there (1171- 1172) he broke the power of Richard Strongbow and the other nobles.

Henry had a natural son, William Longsword (Longespee), who became Earl of Salisbury by marrying the Countess Ela, then aged twelve (1198). He was a councilor of John and commanded the English part of the army which Philip Augustus of France defeated at Bouvines (1214). He supported King John at Runnymede (1215), fought for Henry III. at Lincoln and Sandwich (1217), and served with Hubert de Burgh as "ruler of the King and kingdom" (1222). He died in March, 1226. In 1188, while Henry II. was engaged in a war with Philip of France, Richard joined the French King; and in 1189, Henry having lost Le Mans and the chief castles of Maine, agreed to a treaty of peace granting an indemnity to the followers of Richard. The sight of his favorite son John in the list broke his heart; and he died at Chinon, on July 6, 1189. On the whole, Henry was an able and enlightened sovereign, a clear-headed, unprincipled politician, and an able general; his reign was one of great legal reforms. At its height, Henry's power had been greater than that of any other European ruler and his position was comparable to that of such Holy Roman Emperors as Charlemagne and Frederick Barbarossa. Eleanor died in 1202. Henry was succeeded by his surviving son, John.

Buried in Fontevrault Abbey in Anjou.

"Henry II, founder of the Plantagenet dynasy, created a system of government in 1153 that was meant to bridge old differences with legal rationalism and halt new discord through monarchical continuity. In 1161, the King urged the pope, Alexander III, to canonize Edward [the Confessor: Innocent III had turned down an earlier such request in 1140]. We know his reasons from the petitions of the king and his counsellors. His lieutenants stressed that the disputes between the Anglo-Saxons and Normans, newly arisen under King Stephen, had to be permanently suppressed; to that end, it would be helpful if an old Anglo-Saxon ruler were advanced to the glories of sainthood by his Norman successor. The King himself went even further, claiming to be personally related to the Confessor: 'It was I, descendant of his blood, whom the Lord honoured and set upon the throne of the same kingdpm.' Henry II was the first king in Europe to trace his lineage back to a saintly ruler. "The fact that the blood relationship was far removed made no difference; it established the dynasty's propinquity to God, even opposing papal encroachments and the aristocratic right of dissent. Edward, who had propagated the good old laws, secured the legitimacy of the Plantagents' legislation. Though they had originally been foreigners, the royal family eventually took permanent residence near the tomb of the saint, an important step in consolidating their state. Henry's great-grandfather, William the Conquroer, had been crowned in Westminster Abbey, and by 1140, following the example of the French royal Abbey of St. Denis, the Abbey had already begun to proclaim its ambitions, taking advantage of the aid of falsified documents. Not until the canonization of King Edward, who was buried there, did Westminster really become the 'royal seat', the coronation and burial chapel of the English monarcy that it is today. The cult of Edward, however, never departed from its dynastic framework; it. left no traditions of the people. "The news soon spread that the founder of a dynasty could legitimize his successors by canonizing an ancestor...... " --- Arno Horst, *Medieval Worlds*, English translation by Eric Hanse,

Notes for William* de Salisbury: EARLDOM OF WILTSHIRE III. 2. EARLDOM OF SALISBURY

II. 2. WILLIAM (of SALISBURY, styled also FITZPATRICK), EARL OF WILTSHIRE, styled always EARL OF SALISBURY, son and heir by 2nd wife, received the 3rd penny of Wilts in 1168. He remained loyal during the rebellion of the King's sons, 1173-74. In 1177 the Earl was one of those for whom the King provided a ship, for the crossing to Normandy in his train. He was sheriff of Wilts 1189-90 and 1191-96. At Richard's Coronation, 3 September 1189, he bore the sceptre with the dove; and he appears to have been in close attendance upon the King until he left Dover for Normandy, 12 December. In 1190-91 he served personally in Wales. From Lent to the Close of Easter 1194 he was sheriff of Dorset and Somerset. On Richard's return from captivity, he attended the Great Council at Nottingham in March, and at the King's 2nd Coronation at Winchester, 17 April, he was one of the 4 earls carrying the canopy. In the summer of 1194 he was fighting in Normandy. He married Eleanor, widow of Gilbert CRESPIN, lord of TILLIÈRES (died on crusade, 1190), relict of William PAYNEL of Hambye (died 1184), and daughter of Robert DE VITRÉ, by Emma, daughter of Alan DE DINAN. He died (? in Normandy) 1196, and was buried at Bradenstoke. His widow married, 4thly, Gilbert DE MALESMAINS, who in 1198, and later, was holding in her right both her inheritance and her dower. In 1205 he appears to have adhered to France, while the Countess was permitted peaceful enjoyment of her lands in England. She died between 31 May 1232 and 12 August 1233, and was buried in the Abbey of Mondaye, near Bayeux, of which she was a benefactress. [CP 11:378-9]

Notes for Sheriff Henry* de Audley: Henry de Alditheley was in great favor with Ranulph de Meschines, Earl of Chester and Lincoln (the most powerful subject in England in his time). Henry de Alditheley obtained from Ranulph de Meschines a grant of Newhall in Cheshire, with manors in Staffordshire and other parts, and for his adhesion to King John, in that monarch's struggle with the insurrectionary barons, a royal grant of the lordship of Storton, in Warwickshire, part of the possessions of Robert of Summerville. In the four first years of the reign of King Henry III. he executed the office of sheriff for the counties of Salop and Stafford, as deputy for his patron, the great Earl Ranulph. In the 10th year of Henry III. this Henry de Alditheley was appointed governor of the castles of Carmarthen and Cardigan, and made sheriff the next year of the counties of Salop and Stafford and constable of the castles of Salop and Bridgenorth, which sheriffalty he held for five years. Upon his retirement from office, he had a confirmation of all such lands, whereof he was then possessed, as well as those granted to him by Ranulph, Earl of Chester, and Nicholas de Verdon, as those in Ireland, given him by Hugh de Lacy, Earl of Ulster, whose constable he was in that province. He subsequently obtained diverse other territorial grants from the crown, but, notwithstanding, when Richard Mareschal, Earl of Pembroke, rebelled, and made an incursion into Wales, the king, Henry III., thought it prudent to secure the persons of this Henry, and all the other barons-marchers. He was afterwards, however, constituted governor of Shrewsbury, in the place of John de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, and on the death of John, Earl of Chester, governor of the castle of Chester, and also that of Beeston, then called the "Castle on the Rock," and soon after made governor of Newcastle-under-Lyne. This powerful feudal baron married Bertred Meisnilwarin, daughter of Ralph de Meisnilwarin. of Cheshire. He died in 1236, having founded and endowed the Abbey of Hilton, near to his castle at Heleigh, in Staffordshire, for Cisterian monks, and was succeeded by his son, James. [Homer Beers James]

Notes for James* de Audley: James de Alditheley was a great favorite of Richard, Earl of Cornwall, at whose coronation as King of Almaine (Germany) he assisted. He had livery of his lands in the 31st year of King Henry III., and was constituted in two years afterwards constable of Newcastle-under-Lyne. Being one the lords-marchers he was actively employed for some years against the Welsh, and was appointed governor of the castles of Salop and Bridgenorth, and sheriff of the counties of Salop and Stafford. He was the Justice of Chester, sealed 1259. In the 47th year of Henry III., he was made Justice of Ireland; and in the same year, upon the misunderstanding between the king and the barons, regarding the provisions of Oxford, being referred to the arbitration of monarch of France, he was one of the noblemen who undertook for the king therein. The next year we find him with Roger de Mortimer and the other barons-marchers, giving battle to Llewellyn, Prince of Wales, and afterwards joining the Earl of Gloucester at Evesham in rescuing the king, who had become captive to the Earl of Leicester at the battle of Lewes. In the 52nd year of Henry III., he performed a pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James in Galicia, in Spain, and the following year embarked in the Crusade with the king and Prince Edward. He married Ela, daughter of William Longespee, Earl of Salisbury. She was living in 1282. [Homer Beers James] He died of a broken neck

313 Notes for First Earl of Gloucester Robert* Of Gloucester: [Master File.ftw]

[From Burke's Peerage-see source for details]

An undoubted Earl of Gloucester, perhaps the first authentic one, at any rate after the Conquest, is Robert FitzHamon's son-in-law, another Robert, who was an illegitimate son of Henry I and was so created 1122. The Earldom passed to his eldest son, William FitzRobert, and from him to John, later King John and husband from 1189 to 1199 (when he divorced her) of Isabel, the youngest of William FitzRobert's three daughters. On John's coming to the throne the title did not merge in the Crown for it was not his in his own right but in right of his wife.

Earl of Gloucester. Was born before his father came to the throne, probably abt 1090 and died of fever at Bristol. Buried in Priory of St. James there, of which he was a founder.

Weis" "Ancestral Roots. . ." (63:26), (124:26), (124A:26), (125:26), (132A:27).

He was an illigitimate son of King HENRY I. According to "The Dictionary of National Biography", his mother was probably an unknown French woman. This birth was before HENRY became king. On insufficient grounds some claim his mother to be Nesta, dau. of RHYS AP TEWDR, King of Dehubarth. In his "Complete Peerage", Cockayne is of the opinion that his mother was most likely SIBYL CORBET. He fought at the Battle of Bremule in 1119, where his father defeated King LOUIS VI of France (RIN 1531). In 1122 he was created Earl of Gloucester. In 1123, he led a force to assist in the capture of the castle of Brionne, which was held by rebel Norman barons. In 1126 he had custody of the imprisoned rebel, Robert, Duke of Normandy. In 1127 he did homage to the EMPRESS MATILDA, recognizng her as his father's successor to the throne. When Stephen was chosen as king over the EMPRESS MATILDA, Robert did homage to him for his English lands. In 1137 he accompanied King Stephen to Normandy where a quarrel ensued. He then threw his support to MATILDA, who was in Normandy, and obtained the surrender of Caen and Bayeux to her husband, GEOFFREY PLANTAGANET, Count of Anjou (RIN 787). In Sep. 1139 he landed in England with MATILDA and took her to Arundel Castle. He became her commander-in-chief in the civil war which followed. Robert was captured by Stephen's forces, but Stephen had also been previously captured by MATILDA's. The two were returned to their respective camps in an even exchange. MATILDA sent Robert to Anjou to attempt to convince her husband, GEOFFREY, to come to her aid. GEOFFREY declined to help until he had conquered Normandy, so Robert joined in his campaign. However, hearing that MATILDA was beseiged at Oxford, he hurried back to her assistance. He took MATILDA's and GEOFFREY's son, HENRY (the future King HENRY II) with him. In 1143 Robert defeated Stephen at Wilton and in 1144 he blockaded Malmesbury, Stephen refusing battle. MATILDA's support had gradually dwindled, so Robert was unable to continue to press her cause. In 1147 Robert sent HENRY back to Anjou. Later that year Robert died of fever at Bristol

He presumably took part in John's disastrous expedition to Poitou, February to November 1214, and was with the King at Guildford early in 1215, but at the Easter meeting at Stamford declared himself on the side of the Barons. In December he was taken at the capture of Rochester Castle, and imprisoned at Corfe. His castle of Moulton and lands were seized and committed to the Earl of Chester.

!Roger was born D'Abitot, Earl of Worcestershire and its Sheriff as he succeeded to this title from his father. He was deprived of his estates through the heavy indignation of King Henry because in his headlong fury he commanded one of the King's servants to be killed. The lands were then bestowed upon his sister Emeline who had married Walter de Beauchamp. Roger could no longer stay in the area because he was in danger from the king so he sought safety elsewhere. He was probably living in Wales and had special reliance on the friendliness of the Over-Lord of his Herefordshire land, Ralf de Toeni, (one of the most powerful of all the great nobles in England) He was then given possession of a tract of land in Herefordshire from this Ralf de Toeni and apparently took the name of Ernaldus de Powis to avoid anyone who might be searching for him because of his disfavor in the king's eyes, and bestowed this land upon his son William. Also witnessing this transfer and agreeing to it is found his sister Emeline and her husband de Beauchamp. In effect, he was given authority over property that his sister now owned. (Ralf de Toeni was an Over-Lord for the family holdings). Powis was a principality in North Wales.

Richard Fitz Gilbert; also known as "de Bienfaite" (from the quantity of his fiefs), "de Clare" or "de Tonbridge" (from actual fiefs); went with his cousin William I the Conqueror to England and was granted 176 Lordships, 95 of them associated with the Honour (feudal unit of administration) of Clare, Suffolk, and others with Tonbridge, Kent. [Burke's Peerage]

319 ------

Richard FitzGilbert, having accompanied the Conqueror into England, participated in the spoils of conquest and obtained extensive possessions in the new and old dominions of his royal leader and kinsman. In 1073 we find him joined under the designation of Ricardus de Benefacta, with William de Warren, in the great office of Justiciary of England, with whom, in three years afterwards, he was in arms against the rebellious lords Robert de Britolio, Earl of Hereford, and Ralph Waher, or Guarder, Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk, and behaved with great gallantry. But afterwards, at the time of the General Survey, which was towards the close of William's reign, he is called Ricardus de Tonebruge, from his seat at Tonebruge (now Tunbridge) in Kent, which town and castle he obtained from the archbishop of Canterbury in lieu of the castle of Brion, at which time he enjoyed thirty-eight lordships in Surrey, thirty-five in Essex, three in Cambridgeshire, with some others in Wilts and Devon, and ninety-five in Suffolk, amongst those was Clare, whence he was occasionally styled Richard de Clare, and that place in a few years afterwards becoming the chief seat of the family, his descendants are said to have assumed thereupon the title of Earls of Clare. This great feudal lord m. Rohese, dau. of Walter Giffard, Earl of Buckingham, and had issue, Gilbert, his successor, Roger, Walter, Richard, Robert, a dau. m. to Ralph de Telgers, and a dau. mo. to Eudo Dapifer. Richard de Tonebruge, or de Clare, whose is said to have fallen in a skirmish with the Welsh, was s. by his eldest son, Gilbert de Tonebruge.

Observations. In the times of the Heptarchy the border fortress of Clare (Suffolk), on the confines of the Kingdoms of East Anglia and Essex, was of the greatest importance, and continued to be so or many centuries afterwards, when, it was granted by the Conqueror to Richard FitzGilbert. FitzGilbert's successors the earlier Lords of Clare were, "it is implied in the Lords' Reports [vol. iii, p. 124] and elsewhere, styled Earls of Clare before they were Earls of Hertford, but investigation disproves this," though doubtless, these Lords, after they obtained that Earldom, were according to the usage of the period, frequently styled "Earls of Clare," just as the Earls of Derby were styled "Earls Ferrers," &c. On account of the great importance of these feudal Barons, the earlier Lords of Clare, so frequently considered to have been actual Peers, a short account of them is subjoined, as under.

HOLDERS OF THE HONOUR OF CLARE

I. 1. RICHARD FITZGILBERT, styled (from his possessions) " DE BIENFAITE," "DE CLARE," and "DE TONBRIDGE, was son of Gilbert, COUNT OF BRIONNE in Normandy, which Gilbert was son and heir of Godfrey, COUNT OF BRIONNE, illegitimate son of Richard, DUKE OF NORMANDY. He was born before 1035, was Lord of Bienfaite and Orbec in Normandy, accompanied his kinsman, William the Conqueror, into England, and was rewarded by him with no less than 176 Lordships, of which 95 were in Suffolk, attached to the Honour of Clare, which honour,, with the Castle of Clare, as also the Castle of Tonbridge in Kent, he obtained, becoming thus Lord of Clare and of Tonbridge. During the King's absence he was joint Chief justiciar, and, as such, suppressed the revolt of 1075. He married Rohese, daughter of Walter GIFFARD, the elder, and aunt and heir of Walter [GIFFARD], 2nd Earl of Buckingham, through which match his descendants became co-heirs to the lands of that family. He was living 1081, but appears to have died about 1090 being buried at St. Neots, co. Huntingdon. His widow was living, as such, 1113. [CP 3:242, 14:183]

Notes for Simon* de St. Liz: EARLDOM OF NORTHAMPTON II. 1. EARLDOM OF HUNTINGDON

322 II. 2. SIMON DE ST. LIZ, said to be a son of Ranulph the Rich, a Norman, appears to have come to England early in the reign of William II. Presumably in consequence of his mariiage, he became EARL of HUNTINGDON and NORTHAMPTON after 1086 (for he is not named in Domesday Book) and in or before 1090, when he witnessed a charter to Bath Abbey as "Earl Simon." He witnessed another royal charter under the same designation a little later. He fought for William in Normandy in 1098, and was taken prisoner by Louis, son of the French King. On the accession of Henry I in 1100 he witnessed the charter of liberties issued by the King at his Coronation. He built the Castle of Northampton and founded or refounded the Priory of St. Andrew in that town, and made it dependent on the Cluniac house of La Charité-sur-Loire; this was probably in the time of William Rufus, but certainly before 1108, when he granted an ample charter to it in conjunction with Maud his wife. He was a benefactor also to Daventry Priory, and probably built St. Sepulchre's, Northampton, about this time. He went to Jerusalem cruce signatus, and returned safely, but setting out again he died on the way at the abovenamed Priory of La Charité, and was buried there. He married, perhaps as early as 1090 when she would be aged about 18, Maud, eldest daughter of Waltheof, EARL OF HUNTINGDON and NORTHAMPTON, by Judith, niece of William I. He died, as aforesaid, at La Charité presumably in 1111 or shortly afterwards. His widow married DAVID I of Scotland. [CP 640-1]

Notes for Duke of Normandy, Count d Geoffrey* Plantagenet IV: [Master File.ftw]

[john gray.FTW]

"the Fair", "Le Bon" Burke says the marriage was 3 Apr 1127. The name Plantagenet, according to Rapin, came from when Fulk the Great being stung from remorse for some wicked action, in order to atone for it, went a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and was scourged before the Holy Sepulchre with broom twigs. Earlier authorities say it was because Geoffrey bore a branch of yellow broom (Planta-genistae) in his helm. Duke of Normandy 1144-1150. Count of Anjouso named Plantagenet from his custom of pluming his helmet with golden sprays of broom; Amy

Hallam, p. 47: became count of Anjou in 1129 after his father Fulk V went to Jerusalem. Married in 1128 when he was 15 & Matilda, 26 died after swimming on hot summer night & catching a chill PlantagEncy, 84

Geoffrey IV, also called GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, byname GEOFFREY THE FAIR, French GEOFFROI PLANTAGENET, or GEOFFROI le BEL (b. Aug. 24, 1113--d. Sept. 7, 1151, Le Mans, Maine [France]), count of Anjou (1131-51), Maine, and Touraine and ancestor of the Plantagenet kings of England through his marriage, in June 1128, to Matilda (q.v.), daughter of Henry I of England. On Henry's death (1135), Geoffrey claimed the duchy of Normandy; he finally conquered it in 1144 and ruled there as duke until he gave it to his son Henry (later King Henry II of England) in 1150.

Geoffrey was popular with the Normans, but he had to suppress a rebellion of malcontent Angevin nobles. After a short war with Louis VII of France, Geoffrey signed a treaty (August 1151) by which he surrendered the whole of Norman Vexin (the border area between Normandy and Île-de-France) to Louis. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]

------

The Plantagenet family name was originally just a nickname for Geoffrey. He many times wore a sprig with yellow flowers in his hat. The flower was named "genet" or "genistae" in the French of the times--thus his nickname was "Plant-a-Genet". Genet was supposedly a traditional flower of the Anjou family dating back to the time of Fulk, The Great, Count of Anjou 898-941 who was scourged (in order to atone for past sins) with broom twigs of the Genet while on pilgrimage in Jerusalem. Most people of the times had personal nicknames such as "Beauclerc", "Curtmantel", "Longshanks", and "Lackland", but Geoffrey's stuck and eventually (many generations later) became the family name. Geoffrey's immediate descendants were probably not known as the Plantagenet family at the time they lived, it was only later that the Plantagenet family name was applied to all descendants of Geoffrey.

Notes for Empress of Germany Matilda*: [Master File.ftw]

She was designated Henry's heir, and on his death (1135), Stephen siezed the throne and Matilda invaded England (1139) inuagurating a period of inconclusive civil war. She and her second husband (Geoffrey) captured normandy and in 1152 the Treaty of Wallingford recognised Henry as Stephen's heir. Burke says she was betrothed in her eighth year (1119) to Henry. "the Empress" Maud, 1102-67, queen of England, daughter of Henry I of England. Henry arranged a marriage for her with Holy Roman Emperor Henry V, and she was sent to Germany, betrothed, and five years later (1114) married to him. Empress Matilda was popular in Germany and seemed more German than English, but after her husband's death (1125) she returned to England. Since her only legitimate brother had died (1120), her father devoted himself to securing for her the succession to the English throne, and the barons did in fact recognize her as Henry's heir in 1127. In 1128 she married Geoffrey IV of Anjou, to whom she bore three sons, the eldest being the future Henry II. Both she and her marriage were unpopular in England, however, and on Henry I's death in 1135 the barons gave their support to Matilda's cousin Stephen, who seized the throne. In 1139, Matilda, aided by her half-brother Robert, earl of Gloucester, undertook to recover the throne. After the defeat and capture of Stephen in 1141, she was elected "Lady of the English"; but her arrogance alienated supporters, and the captive Stephen had to be freed in a prisoner exchange for Gloucester. Before the end of the year her forces were routed at Winchester, and the same

324 powerful clergy who had enthroned her then deposed her and declared for Stephen. The struggle continued, but never greatly in her favor. In 1148 she withdrew; her son Henry inherited her claim to the throne and was recognized as heir in 1153. Matilda spent her remaining years in Normandy and became noted for her charity.Baptised Adelaide she, like her mother before her, changed her name to Matilda upon her marriage to the Emperor of Germany. After the White Ship disaster, when her brother was drowned, she was the sole surviving legitimate offspring of her father, who proclaimed her his heir. However, when he died in 1135, she was living in Anjou with her second husband, Count Geoffrey, and the throne was seized by Stephen of Blois, her first cousin. This led to a period of civil war between the two. Matilda triumphed briefly over Stephen in 1141, when the crown came within her reach at last, but her hauteur and overbearing manner alienated many of her supporters, and she eventually had to retire from the conflict. She continued to promote the rights of her son, Henry of Anjou and in 1153, when faced by an invading army led by Henry, Stephen bowed to him and public opinion, and named him his heir at the Treaty of Wallingford.

MATILDA (1102-1167), empress, was the daughter of Henry I of England by his first marriage. She was betrothed in 1109 and married in 1114 to the German emperor Henry V. When her husband died (1125) leaving her childless, her father, whose only surviving legitimate child she then was, persuaded his reluctant barons to accept her, on oath, as his successor (Jan. 1, 1127). The novel prospect of a female ruler was itself unwelcome; Matilda's 17-year absence in Germany (where she was not unpopular) and her apparent arrogrance estranged her from her father's subjects. Difficulties also might result from her remarriage to provide for the succession. Her marriage in 1128 to Geoffrey Plantagenet, heir to Anjou and Maine (designed by Henry I, like her first marriage, for political ends), whose father, CountFulk, departed immediately after the ceremony to become the consort of Melisende of Jerusalem, flouted the barons' stipulation that she should not marry outside England without their consent, and was unpopular in Normandy and England. On Henry I's death, his nephew Stephen by prompt action secured England and was recognized by Pope Innocent II. Matilda and Geoffrey, however, made some headway in Normandy. Matilda's subsequent challenge to Stephen's position in England mainly depended on the support of her half-brother Earl Robert of Gloucester. After the defeat and capture of Stephen at Lincoln (Feb. 1141), Matilda was elected "lady of the English" and would have been queen could she have proceeded to coronation, but active support for her cause still came mainly from the western counties. Her chance of consolidating her precarious victory was swiftly destroyed by a reaction initated by her tactless handling of London. After her defeat at Winchester in Sept. 1141, her supporters, slowly reduced by death and defection, maintained a stubborn defense until Earl Robert died (1147) and Matilda retired (1148) to Normandy, of which her husband had gained possession. She continued to interest herself in the government of the territories of her eldest son, the future Henry II of England. Her career was not entirely unsuccessful: all the subsequent monarchs of England have been her descendants, not Stephen's. She died in Normandy on Sept. 10, 1167.

I. 1. PATRICK DE SALISBURY, 2nd but 1st surviving son and heir, supported the Empress, who made him her Constable, and by whom he was created, within the years 1142 (June)-1147, and probably after July 1143, EARL OF WILTSHIRE, being styled usually EARL OF SALISBURY. He was sheriff of Wiltshire. He was with Henry, Duke of Normandy, at Devizes on 13 April 1149, and again in 1153 (January-August); and at Westminster on 6 November 1153 he witnessed the treaty between Stephen and Henry. After the accession of Henry II, he continued to act as sheriff, and was frequently at Court. In 1163 he was present at the (first) translation of Edward the Confessor. In 1166 he held 40 fees inherited from his father, and 15 of his mother's maritagium, all 55 being of the old fcoffinent. In 1167 he was left in charge of the royal forces in Poitou.

Notes for Ralph* de Mortimer: Ralph de Mortimer, the presumed son of Roger de Mortimer, accompanying the Duke of Normandy in his expedition against England, was one of his principal commanders at the decisive battle of Hastings; and shortly after, as the most puissant of the victor's captains, was sent into the marches of Wales to encounter Edric, Earl of Shrewsbury, who still resisted the Norman yoke. This nobleman, after much difficulty and a long siege in his castle of Wigmore, Mortimer subdued and delivered into the king's hands, when, as a reward for his good service, he obtained a grant of all Edric's estates and seated himself thenceforward at Wigmore. Independently of these great Welsh territorial possessions, Ralph Mortimer enjoyed, by the bounty of his royal master, sundry lordships and manors in other parts of the realm which he held at the time of the general survey. In the beginning of Rufus' reign, Mortimer took part with Curthose, but he subsequently changed sides and, being constituted general of the forces sent by King Henry I to oppose that prince in Normandy, he totally routed the enemy and brought Curthose prisoner to the king.

Notes for 2nd King of England Henry* I: [Master File.ftw]

Henry I was Duke of Normandy from 1106-1135 and King of England from 1100-1135. William I left Normandy to his oldest son Robert II Curthose and England to his next oldest son, William II Rufus. Henry was left great wealth and eventually outmanuvered his brothers to become King of England in 1100 and ruled 35 years. Henry is remembered for expanding and strengthening royal justice, integrating the Norman and Anglo-Saxon legal systems, and laying the foundation for more centralized royal rule. "The Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages" Norman F. Cantor, General Editor

Reigned 1100-1135. Duke of Normandy 1106-1135. His reign is notable for important legal and administrative reforms, and for the final resolution of the investitiure controversy. Abroad, he waged several campaigns in order to consolidate and expand his continental possessions. Was so hated by his brothers that they vowed to disinherit him. In 1106 he captured Robert and held him til he died. He proved to be a hard but just ruler. He aparently died from over eating Lampreys!

PETER of BLOIS, 1070-1117 AD on Henry I From Ingulf's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland with the Continuation of Peter of Blois

------William was succeeded on the throne by his brother Henry, a young man of extreme beauty, and, from his acquaintance with literature, much more astute than his two brothers, and better fitted, for reigning: his brother Robert being at this time in the Holy Land most valiantly fighting in the army of the Christians against the Turks and Saracens. He was crowned by Thomas, the archbishop of York, because, at this period, Anselm, archbishop

328 of Canterbury was in exile Receiving royal homage and the oaths of fealty from. all, he immediately gave liberty to the Church, and forbade depraved customs and injurious exactions to prevail; besides which, he threw the said Ranulph, who was the author of them, into prison, and, dispatching a messenger, recalled the archbishop Anselm from exile.

Led astray and seduced by the bad counsels of the said most wicked Ranulph, king William, on the day of his death, held in his own hands the archbishopric of Canterbury, besides four other bishoprics, and eleven abbeys, all of which he let out to farm. He was the first of all the kings who placed the receipts on account of rent of all the vacant churches in his treasury y; whereas his father invariably, and with the greatest piety, in the same manner as all the other kings of England, his predecessors, had been in the habit of repaying all rents and profits of that nature, in the case of vacant churches, to the prelates who were the first to succeed, and had to the very last farthing accounted, through faithful servants, for the whole thereof. But as for him, after keeping all these dignities for a long time in his own hands for no good reason whatever, and frequently making grants of them to farmers and usurious Jews, under color of employing long deliberation in the choice of a proper pastor, he repeatedly put them up to auction among the most ambitious and most wealthy of the clergy; and at last, on finding a well-filled purse as the result, asserting that all sanctity lay in that, he openly declared that that was the only deserving prelate. In this state of things, it was a matter greatly to be commended that, being confined to his bed and almost despairing of his life, on the decease of Lanfranc, the venerable archbishop Canterbury, a man of most holy life, as well as skilled in all branches of literature, he appointed the venerable Anselm, abbot of Bec, in Normandy, to the archbishopric of Canterbury, in a devout manner, and without any imputation of simony.

The before-named Ranulph, however, made his escape by certain iniquitous means from prison, and repaired to Normandy, and in every way encouraged the duke thereof, Robert, the king's brother, who on hearing of the death of his brother William had immediately returned from Palestine, to invade England. Accordingly, after the duke had levied a large army, and had come to the sea-shore, while the king, on the other hand, had strengthened the southern coasts of his kingdom with troops innumerable (being determined, once for all, to conquer and reign, or else to lose the kingdom and perish), archbishop Anselm and other men of character, who were promoters of peace, acting as mediators between them, brought about an arrangement upon the following terms; that the king should pay each year a compensation of three thousand pounds of silver, and that lasting peace should thenceforth be established between them. However, in after years, the duke, ill-advisedly, forgave this annual payment; and besides, he acted unwisely towards the natives [of Normandy], and those subject to him; upon which the king repaired to Normandy, and taking his brother prisoner in a pitched battle, kept him in prison to the day of his death, and united the whole of Normandy to his own kingdom.

The king, having gained this victory, and being instructed by the repeated exhortations of the archbishop Anselm, remitted for ever his right of investiture of churches by ring and pastoral staff, a question which had for a long time harassed the Church; while he retained in his own hand and excepted solely his royal privileges.

The following is taken from the Monarchs of England UK site.

Henry I William's younger brother Henry (reigned 1100-35) succeeded to the throne. He was crowned three days after his brother's death, against the possibility that his eldest brother Robert might claim the English throne. After the decisive battle of Tinchebrai in 1106 in France, Henry completed his conquest of Normandy from Robert, who then (unusually even for that time) spent the last 28 years of his life as his brother's prisoner. An energetic, decisive and occasionally cruel ruler, Henry centralized the administration of England and Normandy in the royal court, using 'viceroys' in Normandy and a group of advisers in England to act on his behalf when he was absent across the Channel. Henry successfully sought to increase royal revenues, as shown by the official records of his exchequer (the Pipe Roll of 1130, the first exchequer account to survive). He established peaceful relations with Scotland, through his marriage to Mathilda of Scotland.

Henry's name 'Beauclerc' denoted his good education (as the youngest son, his parents possibly expected that he would become a bishop); Henry was probably the first Norman king to be fluent in English. In 1120, his legitimate sons William and Richard drowned in the White Ship which sank in the English Channel. This posed a succession problem, as Henry never allowed any of his illegitimate children to expect succession to either England or Normandy. Henry had a legitimate daughter Matilda (widow of Emperor Henry V, subsequently married to the Count of Anjou). However, it was his nephew Stephen (reigned 1135-54), son of William the Conqueror's daughter Adela, who succeeded Henry after his death allegedly caused by eating too many lampreys (fish) in 1135, as the barons mostly opposed the idea of a female ruler.

329 1068-1135, king of England (1100-1135), youngest son of William I. He was called Henry Beauclerc because he could write. He quarreled with his elder brothers, William II of England and Robert II, duke of Normandy, and attempted with little success to establish a territorial base for himself on the Continent. When William II was killed, Henry seized the treasury and had himself elected and crowned king while Robert was away on crusade. Henry issued a charter promising to right injustices inflicted by William and to refrain from unjust demands on the church and the barons. He also recalled Anselm from exile. His marriage (1100) to Edith (thereafter known as Matilda), daughter of Malcolm III of Scotland and niece of Edgar Atheling, gained him some popularity with his English (as opposed to Norman) subjects. Robert invaded England in 1101, but the brothers reached an agreement by which Robert renounced his claim to the English throne in return for the promise of a pension and the surrender of Henry's possessions in Normandy. In the succeeding years Henry defeated and banished Robert's leading supporters in England. He then invaded (1105) Normandy, defeated (1106) Robert at Tinchebrai, and became duke of Normandy. In the meantime Henry had become involved in a quarrel with Anselm over the lay investiture of bishops and abbots. In a compromise settlement (1107) the king gave up investiture but retained the right to receive homage from the prelates. Henry's reign continued to be troubled by uprisings in Normandy centering about Robert's son and encouraged by Louis VI of France, who was almost constantly at war with Henry. Henry's only legitimate son, William Atheling, was drowned (1120), and Henry I's second marriage was childless. The latter years of his reign were marked therefore by his attempts to secure the succession for his daughter Matilda. Henry's reign in England was one of order and progress. Royal justice was strengthened and expanded; the Norman legal system gradually fused with the old Anglo-Saxon. The first of the extant pipe rolls and the first appearance of the court of Exchequer date from this reign.

Henry I was born in the year 1068---a factor he himself regarded as highly significant, for he was the only son of the Conqueror born after the conquest of England, and to Henry this meant he was heir to the throne. He was not an attractive proposition: he was dissolute to a degree, producing at least a score of bastards; but far worse he was prone to sadistic cruelty---on one occasion, for example, personally punishing a rebellious burgher by throwing him from the walls of his town.

At the death of William the Conqueror, Henry was left no lands, merely 5,000 pounds of silver. With these he bought lands from his elder brother Robert Curthose, Duke of Normandy, only to see them taken back again a few years later by Robert, in unholy alliance with his brother William Rufus.

Henry could do little to avenge such treatment, but in England he found numerous barons who were tired of the exactions and ambitions of their king. He formed alliances with some of these, notably with the important de Clare family. He and some of the de Clares were with William Rufus on his last hunting expedition, and it is thought that the king's death was the result of Henry's plotting.

Certainly he moved fast to take advantage of it; leaving Rufus's body unattended in the woods, he swooped down on Winchester to take control of the treasury. Two days later he was in Westminster, being crowned by the Bishop of London. His speed is understandable when one realises that his elder brother, Robert [Curthose], was returning from the crusade, and claimed, with good reason, to be the true heir.

Henry showed great good sense in his first actions as King. He arrested Ranulph Flambard, William's tax- gatherer, and recalled Anselm, the exiled Archbishop. Furthermore, he issued a Charter of Liberties which promised speedy redress of grievances, and a return to the good government of the Conqueror. Putting aside for the moment his many mistresses, he married the sister of the King of Scots, who was descended from the royal line of Wessex; and lest the Norman barons should think him too pro-English in this action, he changed her name from Edith to Matilda. No one could claim that he did not aim to please.

In 1101 Robert Curthose invaded, but Henry met him at Alton, and persuaded him to go away again by promising him an annuity of £2,000. He had no intention of keeping up the payments, but the problem was temporarily solved.

He now felt strong enough to move against dissident barons who might give trouble in the future. Chief amongst

330 these was the vicious Robert of Bellême, Earl of Shrewsbury, whom Henry had known for many years as a dangerous troublemaker. He set up a number of charges against him in the king's court, making it plain that if he appeared for trial he would be convicted and imprisoned. Thus Robert and his colleagues were forced into rebellion at a time not of their own choosing, were easily defeated and sent scuttling back to Normandy.

In Normandy Robert Curthose began to wreak his wrath on all connected with his brother, thus giving Henry an excellent chance to retaliate with charges of misgovernment and invade. He made two expeditions in 1104-5, before the great expedition of 1106 on which Robert was defeated at the hour-long battle of Tinchebrai, on the anniversary of Hastings. No one had expected such an easy victory, but Henry took advantage of the state of shock resulting from the battle to annex Normandy. Robert was imprisoned (in some comfort, it be said); he lived on for 28 more years, ending up in Cardiff castle whiling away the long hours learning Welsh. His son William Clito remained a free agent, to plague Henry for most of the rest of his reign.

In England the struggle with Anselm over the homage of bishops ran its course until the settlement of 1107. In matters of secular government life was more simple: Henry had found a brilliant administrator, Roger of Salisbury, to act as Justiciar for him. Roger had an inventive mind, a keen grasp of affairs, and the ability to single out young men of promise. He quickly built up a highly efficient team of administrators, and established new routines and forms of organisation within which they could work. To him we owe the Exchequer and its recording system of the Pipe Rolls, the circuits of royal justiciars spreading the king's peace, and the attempts at codification of law. Henry's good relationships with his barons, and with the burgeoning new towns owed much to skilful administration. Certainly he was able to gain a larger and more reliable revenue this way than by the crude extortion his brother had used.

In 1120 came the tragedy of the White Ship. The court was returning to England, and the finest ship in the land was filled with its young men, including Henry's son and heir William. Riotously drunk, they tried to go faster and faster, when suddenly the ship foundered. All hands except a butcher of Rouen were lost, and England was without an heir.

Henry's only legitimate child was Matilda, but she was married to the Emperor Henry V of Germany, and so could not succeed. But in 1125 her husband died, and Henry brought her home and forced the barons to swear fealty to her---though they did not like the prospect of a woman ruler. Henry then married her to Geoffrey of Anjou, the Normans' traditional enemy, and the barons were less happy---especially when the newly-weds had a terrible row, and Geoffrey ordered her out of his lands. In 1131 Henry, absolutely determined, forced the barons to swear fealty once more, and the fact that they did so is testimoney of his controlling power. Matilda and Geoffrey were reunited, and in 1133 she produced a son whom she named for his grandfather. If only Henry could live on until his grandson was old enough to rule, all would be well.

But in 1135, against doctor's orders, he ate a hearty meal of lampreys, got acute indigestion, which turned into fever, and died. He was buried at his abbey in Reading---some said in a silver coffin, for which there was an unsuccessful search at the Dissolution.

------

According to Winston Churchill in "A History of the English Speaking People", the Montgomeries (a very great house of Norman England) sided with Robert, Duke of Normandy, against his brother Henry I, in the war of succession after William Rufus, William The Conqueror's designated heir for England was killed in a hunting accident [in which Henry I was involved--some think more than an "accident"]. Henry I destroyed the power of the Montgomeries starting in September, 1100. He captured Robert in Normandy in the battle at Tinchebrai and combined England and Normandy again.

Notes for Urse* D'Abitot: [Master File.ftw]

It has been said that the first ancestor in England (Urse) was knighted during the Battle of Hastings by William the Congueror. (1066) He is said to have been created Earl of Worcestershire in 1076 and is also mentioned as Earl, Viscount and as the Sheriff of Worcestershire. He had far-spread lands in England and he was considered tenant-in-chief (the King owned all the land and under Feudal law, he held them directly from the King) Tenant-in -chief's were also known as Barons. Such Lordships he possesses in Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, and Warwickshire. In the Domesday Survey, 1086, he is called Sheriff of Worcestershire. From history, his personality seems to show deep-rooted conflict of soul. Despotic seizure of what they wanted, outbreaks of barbaric fury, even ferocious cruelty, these evil traits sometimes demoralizing them to the worst of sins, sacrilege, were a wild storn in the beings of these near descendants of the fierce Vikings. With the Viking, heathen blood, however, they had the Christian heritage from their French mothers, for the Northmen who invaded and won the land named for them brought few Scandinavian women to Normandy, and married daughters of the Frankish people, Christianized for centuries. When their conversion to Christ brought them into the influences of civilization, gradually, they learned to respect Law in itself, for all people. The only wrong doing that can be found to be contributed to Urse is one act of sacrilege. It seems that Urse did "lawlessly and sacreligiously, encroach on the Monks' cemetery adjoining Worcester Abbey, in order to build there the ditch of his great castle. Urse, was a supporter of King William (the conqueror) and helped to put down a rebellion that the Earl of Hereford had hatched. Urse d'Abitot was the Founder of Malvern Priory, one of the beneficient religious institutions of the Monks of Saint Benedict. The foundation of the Prior by Urse d'Abitot was in 1083 . The Prior Church was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Michael the Archangel. Urse died sometime between 1108 and 1112.

Notes for Count of Brionne Gilbert* Crispin I: [Master File.ftw]

Gilbert, Count of Brionne; benefactor of the Abbey of Bec in Normandy. [Burke's Peerage]

335 Gislebert, surnamed Crispin, Earl of Brion, in Normandy, whose eldest son [was] Richard FitzGilbert. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, London, 1883, p. 118, Clare, Lords of Clare, Earls of Hertford, Earls of Gloucester]

Succeeded his father at Brionne as well as at Eu, but he soon quarrelled with his uncle Count Richard II, and was deprived of his patrimony. He afterwards however regained his position, and in the reign of Count Robert was in high favour at Court, when the Castle of Brionne was restored to him ; but the County of Eu had been in the meanwhile given away by Count Richard II. to another member of the farnily, and neither Gilbert nor his descendants ever recovered possession of Eu. Gilbert was selected in 1035, when Count Robert was starting for the Holy Land, to be one of the guardians of the young Count William, and for the next five years he was one of the most powerful nobles in Normandy. His duty to his ward was not unfaithfully discharged, but he abused his position to plunder the orphan heirs of his neighbour the Sieur de Montreuil, and in revenge they cruelly murdered him in 1040, as he was riding peaceably on his mule near Echaufré "expecting no evil." His cruel death caused his faults to be forgotten, and King William retained to the last a kindly recollection of his guardian, for when the king on his death-bed was recounting the "horrors of his early life, he mentions Count Gilbert "the father of his country " amongst the pillars the State who were perfidiously murdered by his enemies.

Count Gilbert probably married a relation of the Count of Flanders, for his infant sons Richard and Baldwin were taken after his death to that country, and were brought upunder the protection of Count Baldwin. They returned to their native country when William of Normandy married Matilda of Flanders, and by Count Baldwin's intercession were re-instated in as much of their father's fief as had not been otherwise disposed of. Richard now obtained the fiefs of Bienfaite and Orbec, and after the conquest of England received Tunbridge Castle in Kent as compensation for his hereditary claims to the Castle of Brionne. At the same time Meules and Sap were given to Baldwin for his share, and he was allowed to marry the Cousin of his Sovereign. His wife Albreda was a grand- daughter of Count Richard II, and was [I expect] a sister of Guy of Burgundy the rebel Constable of Brionne Castle, who was exiled from Normandy in 1050. Richard and Baldwin were afterwards conspicuous in the conquest of England, and were not forgotten in the division of the spoil. They both founded powerful families, for Richard was the ancestor of the great house of Clare, while it was reckoned amongst the honours of the Courtenays in later times, that they descended through females from Baldwin fitz Count Gilbert the Domesday Sheriff of Devon.

Murdered by the sons of Giroie.

Notes for Lord William* Malet: [Master File.ftw]

William Malet, Lord Malet, a Norman baron, one of the generals and companions of William the Conqueror, said to have been the brother of King Harold's wife, and to have been entrusted with the guard of Harold's body after he had been slain on the battlefield. After the conquest he was made Governor of York Castle and was slain in its defense about 1071. He married Hesila (Esilia) Crispin, daughter of Gilbert Crispin I, baron of Tillieres. She probably married (2) Alured de Lincoln, a great Domesday baron who attended Duke William on his expedition to England in 1066 (See Crispin and Macary, "Falaise Roll", Appendix 20, pg. 156-160).

MISC: WILLIAM, Lord Malet, a Norman Baron, one of the generals and companions of William the Conqueror, said to have been the brother of King Harold's wife, and to have been entrusted with the guard of Harold's body after he had been slain on the battlefield. After the conquest he was made governor of York Castle and was slain in its defense about 1071.William Malet, of Granville, Normandy; also held lands in Lincs before 1066 (possibly by virtue of his mother's putative status of Englishwoman); granted the feudal Barony of Eye, Suffolk, following the Conquest, in which he was one of William I's chief lieutenants, being allegedly given the task by William of burying Harold's body after Hastings; Sheriff of Yorks 1068; married Hesilia Crispin (living 1086), gggdau of Rollo The Dane, Duke of Normandy, and died c1071. [Burke's Peerage]

------

336 Note: Malet is a dimunitive of "Mal" meaning evil.

The Peytons, Camden observes, have had a common progenitor with the Uffords, who became Earls of Suffolk, the founder of both being William Mallet, a Norman baron, who was sheriff of Yorkshire in the 3rd of William I, and obtained grants of sundry lordships and manors from the crown, amongst which were Sibton and Peyton Hall, which he possessed at the time of the survey. "Iselham," says the same author, "formerly belonged to the Bernards, which came to the family of the Peytons by marriage, which knightly family of Peyton flowed out of the same male stock whence the Uffords, Earls of Suffolk, descended; albeit they assumed the surname of Peyton, according to the use of that age, from their manor of Peyton Hall, in Boxford, in the county of Suffolk." [John Burke & John Bernard Burke, Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies of England, Ireland, and Scotland, Second Edition, Scott, Webster, & Geary, London, 1841, p. 408, Peyton, of Isleham]

Note: Domesday states that Walter de Caen held Sibton (given to him by William's widow) and Swein of Essex held Peyton--Walter having been dead since 1071.

William, according to some, was grandson of Lady Godiva & brother of Harold Godwyn's wife, while not necessarily entirely true, probably there was some relationship.

------

According to Crispin and Macary, "William (Guillaume) Malet de Graville stands out as one of the most imposing figures at the Conquest. There can be no doubt about his presence there, which is subscribed to by William of Poitiers, Guy of Amiens, Orderic Vital, and all the historians of this epoch. So much has been placed on record concerning him that just a few facts of his life will be recited here. He was probably descended from Gerard, a Scandinavian prince and companion of Duke Rollo, which gave the name of the fief of Gerardville or Graville, near Havre. Robert, the eldest son, occurs in a document of about 990 in Normandy. On his mother's side William Malet was of Anglo-Saxon origin, for she was probably the daughter of Leofric, Earl of Mercia, and Godwa or Godgifu, the supposed sister of Thorold the Sheriff in the time of Edward the Confessor, and therefore the aunt of Edwin and Morcar, Earls of Northumberland. He was nearly killed in the battle of Hastings but was rescued by the sire de Montfort and William of Vieuxpont, and was appointed by William the Conqueror to take charge of the body of Harold, a statement that has been disputed. The consensus of opinion favors it, and it is most logical if William Malet's mother was as stated the sister of Algar II., 7th Earl of Mercia, who was the father of Alditha, wife of Harold. He accompanied King William at the reduction of Nottingham and York in 1068, for which he was rewarded with the shreivalty of land in that county. Gilbert de Gand and Robert Fitz Richard were also commanders in this expedition. The following year he was besieged in the castle of York by Edgar, the Saxon prince, and was only saved from surrender by the timely arrival of the Conqueror. In the same year he was attacked by the Danes, who captured the city of York with great slaughter and took William Malet, his wife and children, prisoners, but their lives were spared, as was that of Gilbert de Gand, for the sake of their ransoms. There is evidence that he was slain in this year, but it is uncertain and the date of his death is unknown. An entry in Domesday that "William Malet was seized of this place (Cidestan, Co. Suffolk), where he proceeded on the King's service where he died," would indicate that his death occurred during the compilation of that book. He was witness to a charter of King William to the church of St. Martin-le-Grand, in London, and is there styled "princeps," which title, however, was honorary and not hereditary, having ceased with his death."

------

William Malet, or Guillaume, as he may have been called, "Sire de Graville", came from Graville Sainte Honorine between Le Havre and Harfleur, in what is today the French province of Normandy. He is said to have had a Norman father and a Saxon (read English) mother, and had some sort of association with King Harold of England before the conquest. William, through his Saxon mother, may actually have been related to King Harold, and also to the well known Lady Godiva. It is also possible that William and Harold were both God fathers of Duke William of Normandy's daughter, Abela.

The Malet Castle at Graville Sainte Honorine had an important strategic location, at the mouth of the Seine. It has now fallen into the sea, though some remnants of it may still be visible. A large section of wall with large iron rings attached was still there just over 100 years ago. The Abbey church, in which some of the Malets are buried, is now in the town of Le Havre. Though William Malet had connections to both sides in the conflict to come, his main allegiance was to Duke William of Normandy.

William fought with distinction at Hastings, as the following Excerpt from Wace's "Roman de Rou"

337 attests:

William whom they call Mallet, Boldly throws himself among them; With his flashing sword Against the English he makes furious onset; But his shield they clove, And his horse beneath him killed, And himself they would have slain, When came the Sire de Montfort And Lord William de Vez-Pont With the great force which they had, Him they bravely rescued. There many of their men they lost; Mallet they remounted on the field On a fresh war-horse.

When the battle was over, Duke William entrusted William Malet to attend to the burial of the dead English king. The body was buried under a heap of stones on top of a cliff at Hastings overlooking the shore that Harold had so bravely defended. William placed a stone on the grave with the epitaph:

"By command of the Duke, you rest here a King, O Harold, that you may be guardian still of the shore and sea". This burial of Harold was only temporary and the body was later re-buried at Harold's Abbey at Waltham.

William and his brother Durand held lands in Lincolnshire, England, during the reign of Edward the Confessor, and through the reign of Harold right up to the conquest, in addition to those in Normandy. These Lincolnshire holdings, all in the Danelaw, probably came from William and Durand's mother. After the conquest William's English holdings were greatly increased, again, principally in the Danelaw, as English lands were taken from their Saxon owners and handed over to Norman Barons. It is likely that Duke William conferred these estates on William, partly because of his loyalty and skill in battle, but also because of his prior connections with his Danish "cousins" there. Perhaps the Duke felt that William was the best man to bring these proud, warlike and independent settlers under the control of their new King.

William was dead at the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, but the holdings at that time of his son Robert, and of his wife, give a good indication of the extent of his estates. He held large parts of what are today Suffolk and Norfolk, with smaller amounts of land in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. Eye, in Suffolk appears to have been William's stronghold. Here he built a Motte and Bailey castle, after the Norman fashion. Nothing remains of the Norman fortifications, but the outline of the baileys and "Castle Mound", are still evident. There is even a slight indication of where the Market, founded by William Malet under Royal License would have been held.

William married Hesilia Crispin, by whom he had two sons, Robert and Gilbert, and one daughter, Beatrice. Robert and possibly Gilbert, along with their uncle Durand, accompanied their father at the battle of Hastings. The arms shown at the top of the page, likely carried by the Malets at Hastings, were used by many generations of the Malet family, both in England and in France, and can be seen on the Bayeux tapestry.

William was made Sheriff of York and granted considerable lands in Yorkshire following the building of the first Norman castle there (the mound now supports 'Clifford's Tower') in 1068. He and his fellow captains, Robert Fitz-Richard and William of Ghent, with 500 picked knights had to fight off a local revolt, headed by Edgar the Atheling; this in or shortly after January 1069. Robert Fitz-Richard and many of his men were killed and it was only by the timely arrival of King William that the City was saved. The natives remained restless and had another, token go, as soon as King William left but were quickly put down. The troops were strengthened and another castle built on the other side of the river from the original but, notwithstanding, in September 1069, William, his wife and two of his children were captured by a combined force of Danes and English under Sweyn of Denmark supported by Earls Waltheof and Gospatric and the Northumbrians, when York fell to them after a terrible fight. This led to King William ordering the burning and killing of everything in the north and Domesday, even 16 years later, records most of northern England as still being waste and uninhabited.

338 William, his wife and two children must have been released some time later and William retained most of his lands apart from those in Yorkshire, which will have come with the office of Sheriff, which had been taken from him. At some point the King awarded William the appellation of "Princep", and in the Chart granted by the King to the church of St. Martin le Grand, his signature appears as "Wilielmus Malet Princep". In the context of the times, Princep would likely have been interpreted as "leader, or chief". William is believed to have died fighting "Hereward the Wake" in the Fens near Ely Cathedral, which lies between South Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk (and in the middle of the Malet holdings), in 1071. The Domesday book records that "...He went into the marsh", and that "...he went on the King's service, where he died".

William is generally accepted to be the progenitor of many of the various branches of the Malet family (those that can trace their lines back that far), both in England and in France. The descendants of Durand continued to hold lands in Lincolnshire, and are recorded in Irby on Humber up to the 16th century.

NORMAN SHERIFFS By 1066, when William the Conqueror seized power, he replaced all of the existing sheriffs with his own loyal comrades in arms. When William conveyed the offices of sheriff to his Normans, he also bestowed to them the title "Vicomte," which added nobility to their positions. He allowed Vicomte sheriffs to build castles, a powerful symbol of privilege and a far greater honor than had ever been granted to prior Anglo- Saxon sheriffs. The castles were a sign of aggressive force. This fortification symbolism helped identify William as the incomparable authority in the newly conquered land.

The most famous William the Conqueror sheriff was a man named William Malet, a ferocious warrior. During the Battle of Hasting his horse was killed from under him. Mounting a fresh horse, he continued leading the charge, killing the enemy along the way, to a Norman victory. William continued to use Malet to crush insurgent forces within his reign.. . . As a reward, William named Malet the sheriff of Yorkshire.

King William sought aggressive types for the office of sheriff whose ambitions were consistent with his. Those willing to squeeze the peasants to their maximum were the best qualified in William's eyes. He instituted the practice of selling the office to the highest bidder. This brought forth evil men willing to pay exorbitant prices for the office and then willing to do whatever it took to recoup their investment. . . No one spoke out for the peasantry because their only representative to the king was the very sheriffs embezzling them. The most notorious was Picot, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire. . . . Monks describe him as: a hungry lion, a prowling wolf, a crafty fox, a filthy swine, a dog without shame, who stuffed his belly like an insatiable beast as though the whole country were a single corpse.

If events reduced production within the shires and thereby reduced the prosperity of King William, the sheriff was then forced to press the peasants even more to make up for the deficiency. In 1083, William levied the highest tax assessment of his reign to make up for the previous year's famine and low production. . . . To enhance their income, sheriffs commonly pillaged Church properties. . . .

The only coin in circulation in twelfth century England was the silver penny. It was the responsibility of the sheriff to police the silver content in the coinage. If the sheriff failed to see that the tender did not meet quality assurance in the amount of silver content versus the alloy percentage, he was held personally liable for the shortage. Because this burden was placed on the sheriffs in the area that effected them the most, their pocketbooks. . . .Enforcement of the matter was particularly unkind under the reign of King Henry II to punish offenders that circulated "bastard" coins. The first offense routinely resulted in the severing of a hand or castration. . . .

The coming of King John in 1199 brought about one of the most stirring periods in the history of the medieval sheriff. . . . As King John waged war against the Welsh, the French, and the Irish, he placed the emphasis upon the sheriffs to finance his wars. . . . Because of the sheriff's authority and ability to raise funds, the 13th century saw the sheriff as the most powerful administrative force in medieval England. . . .

King John personally knew every one of the 100 or so sheriffs that he appointed between 1199 and 1216. Some were his intimate friends and most trusted advisors. In contrast to the prior practice of King Richard, he appointed only two members of the Church to the post. He instead chose to select intense, secular men, with strong military backgrounds. . . . His deliberate selection of men of harsh demeanor . . . was considered by people of his time as a substantive answer for the difficult issues of the day . . . tough men for tough times. . . .William Malet, of Granville, Normandy; also held lands in Lincs before 1066

Notes for Earl of Buckingham Walter* Giffard: NEHGR Volume 75, p. 60: Count of Longueville, who assumed the name of Gyffarde (cf. Ordericus Vitalis). Called Walter Giffard the Elder in the histories of Ordericus Vitalis and William of Jumieges. In 1035 he was a companion of his brother-in-law, Hugh de Gournay, in the abortive attempt of Edward, son of King Ethelred, to recover the crown of England. He gained renown in the armies of Duke William (the Conqueror), in the war between Normandy and France, and in 1053 he was left by Duke William in command of the forces blockading the castle of Arques. When Duke William invaded England (1066), Walter Gyffarde, then well-advanced in years, furnished 30 vessels and 100 men at arms.

************************************************************************** ************

"Walter Giffard "the elder," as he is styled in the chronicles of Orderic Vitalis nad William de Jumieges, flourished between the years 1035 and 1084. The story of his relationship to the Ducal House of Normandy is told by the latter historian, who relates how the Earl Richard, being lodged in the house of one of his foresters during a hunting expedition, was so struck with the beauty of the forester's wife, he ordered her to be conducted at night to his chamber. The forester sadly recounted these orders to his wife, who, being a virtuous woman, consoled him by saying that she would put in her place her sister Gunnora, who was younger and much better looking than herself. This was done, and the Duke, after he was informed of the deception passed upon him, was rejoiced to find that he had not committed so great a sin. Gunnora afterwards lived with him for many years as his mistress, until, wishing to promote Robert, one his sons by her, to the Archbishopric of Rouen, the Earl was informed that the canonical laws would not permit an illegimate son to be consecrated, and for that reason he married Gunnora according to Christian rites, and in this way legitimated all his offsrping by her. "The story "*si non e vero e ben trovato*," but it bears too close a resemblance to a well-known scriptural incident, and was probably invented by the monks to embellish the reputation of Gunnora after she had become Duchess of Normandy. Like our own Queen Elizabeth Woodville, in somewhat similar circumstances, Gunnora had a bevy of younger sisters whom she promoted by marrying them to the Duke, and in this way the third sister, Avelina, was given in marriage to Osbern de Bolebec, Lord of Longueville, by whom she had Walter Giffard the first, and Godfrey, father of William d'Arques. "Walter married one of the daughters of Girard Flatel or Fleitel, and had issue Walter Giffard the second and several daughters, one of whom, Rohais, married Richard, the son of Earl Gilbert (de Brionne) [footnote: *Histoire des Normands*, by William of Jumieèges, chapters 36 and 37. The reader will note the origin of the names of Osbern and Gerard afterwards borne by the Giffards. Gunnora is the Danish Gunnor, from which is derived Guinevra, Guinevere, and finally Genevieve."]. As Duke Richard died in 996, even allowing for the fact that Osbern de Bolebec was a mere youth at the date of his marriage with Avelina, Walter Giffard the first must have been far advanced in life at the date of the conquest of England in 1066, and this agrees with all we have been told of him from other sources. He first appears in 1035, as a companion of his brother-in-law, Hugh de Gournay, in the abortive attempt of Edward, son of King Ethelred, to recover the crown of England. [Planche''s *Conqueror and his Companions*, Vol. I, p. `63.] He is next heard of in 1053, when he was left by Duke William in command of the forces blockading the Castle of Arques. For the invasion of England he found thirty vessels and a hundred men-at-arms, and Wace informs us in his *Roman de Rou* that previous to the battle Raoul de Conches, the hereditary standard bearer of Normandy, having asked to be quit of the service that he might fight with greater freedom, the Duke called to him Walter Giffard and desired him to bear the gonfanon. Walter prayed to be excused on the ground that he was too old and feeble. "For the mercy of God, Sire," said the old knight, "look upon my white and bald head. My strength is impaired, and I am short of breath." Whereupon the Duke

340 excused him. Orderic Vitalis names Gauthier Giffard amongs the Conqueror's companions of most military reputation, and in another part of his chronicle states that "Gauthier surnomme' Giffard eut en partage le Comte' de Buckingham," at the same time as William de Warenne and Ralph de Guader received the Earldoms of Surrey and Norfolk."

According to the Vita (p. 15), he came with his elder brother Warner to serve the King with 40 knights. The late register of St. Andrew's, Northampton, says they came in 1066; and the Ramsey Chartulary also says that the Conqueror was Simon's patron. [CP 6:640f]

Notes for Waltheof* de Huntingdon II: Earl of Northumberland, Northampton and Huntingdon.EARLDOM OF NORTHAMPTON I. 1. EARLDOM OF HUNTINGDON

I. 1. WALTHEOF, son of SIWARD, EARL OF NORTHUMBERLAND, by Ælfled, daughter of ALDRED of Bernicia, became EARL OF HUNTINGDON and EARL OF NORTHAMPTON when Tostig was banished in October 1065. He is not known to have opposed the Conqueror in 1066, but was taken to Normandy the following year. In 1069 he joined the Danes in their descent on Yorkshire, distinguishing himself in the attack on the city of York. When the Danes left England he submitted himself to William, in January 1070, and was restored to his Earldom, and to his father's Earldom of Northumberland in 1072. While attending the wedding of Ralph de Gael, Earl of Norfolk, at Exning in the spring or summer of 1075, he was enticed to join the conspiracy of the Earls of Norfolk and Hereford to seize England for themselves. He quickly repented, and by Lanfranc's advice went to Normandy and asked pardon of the King, who treated the matter lightly at the time; but at Christmas Waltheof was brought to trial at Westmminster, his wife Judith being a witness. He was imprisoned at Winchester, where on the resumption of the trial in May he was condemned and beheaded on St. Giles's Hill, 31 May 1076, and hastily buried . He married, in 1070, Judith, daughter of Lambert, COUNT OF LENS, by Adelaide or Adeliz, sister of the Conqueror. He died as aforesaid, 31 May 1076, and a fortnight later the Abbot Ulfketel, at Judith's request and by the King's permission, removed his body to Crowland, where it was honourably entombed.(g) His widow, who as "Judith the Countess" is recorded in Domesday Book to have held estates in many counties in 1086, most of them apparently gifts from the King, her uncle, held Huntingdon in dower. She founded the Nunnery of Elstow, near Bedford. [CP 6:638-40]

[g] Many miracles are recorded, for Waltheof was by many regarded as a saint. An epitaph was written for the

341 tomb by Orderic. Other epitaphs are in the Vita. He is described as strong in person and of great repute as a warrior, pious had learnt the psalter in his youth, was liberal to the clergy and the poor, and a benefactor in particular to Jarrow and Crowland. To the former he gave Tynemouth. The chief stain on his memory is his part in a family bloodfeud, for he ordered the murder of the sons of one Carl, who had killed Earl Ealdrcd, Walthcof's grandfather.

Notes for Judith* de Lens: Waltheof (died 1076), Earl of Northumberland's wife was Judith (but not "of Normandy"). Judith was daughter of Count Lambert of Lens, by his wife, Adelais (or Alice) of Normandy, half sister of King William the Conqueror of England, she being the daughter of Robert, Duke of Normandy, but not by his mistress, Herleve.

Some people such as Col. Hansen have tried to make Judith, wife of Waltheof, the daughter of her mother's first marriage to Enguerrand, Count of Ponthieu. However, there is an ancient cartulary which concerns the Scottish royal family and in that source Judith is specifically called the daughter of Lambert of Lens. This document seems to have escaped the attention of everyone, including Col. Hansen as well as the historians, Morton and Muntz, on whom he heavily depended on. Although Hansen and the others have doubted Lambert's existence, a cursory glance at the documents of this period shows that Count Lambert was very much a real person. Prior to his early death, he occurs in more than one document in the company of his older brother, the Count of Boulogne. So Count Lambert did exist and he is the individual who the Scottish royal family identified as Judith's father. Douglas Richardson [[email protected]]

Notes for Ralph* de Toeni IV: [Master File.ftw]

RALPH DE TOENI IV, styled also DE CONCHES, 2nd but 1st surviving son and heir, assented with his mother and his elder brother, Roger, to his father's gifts to St. Evroul. He succeeded his father probably in 1102; and in 1103 he was one of the nobles who supported the claim of Rainald de Grancei to succeed to the Barony of Breteuil on the death of William de Breteuil. In the same year he was a member of the alliance formed by Robert, Count of Meulan, to force Goel d'Ivri to release his burgher, John of Meulan. He then crossed to England and, being graciously received by the King, obtained his father's lands; and in 1104 he returned to Normandy with Henry, as one of his ardent supporters. He was in the King's army in Normandy in 1106 and took part in the battle of Tinchebrai on 28 September. In 1110 he was with the King at Romsey. When rebellion broke out in Normandy in 1119, he remained faithful to Henry. About the same time by the King's advice Ralph de Gael gave him Pont-St.-Pierre and the whole valley of Pistres. In 1120 he was with Henry at Rouen. He was a benefactor to the abbeys of Bec and Conches, and perhaps to the priory of Westacre. He married, in 1103, in England, Alice, younger daughter and coheir of Waltheof, EARL OF NORTHUMBERLAND, NORTHAMPTON and HUNTINGDON, by Judith (the King's cousin), daughter of Lambert, COUNT OF LENS. Alice inherited Walthamstow, Essex. Ralph died about 1126 and was buried at Conches. His widow gave the church of Walthamstow to Holy Trinity, London, for the salvation of the souls of her son Hugh, who was buried there, and her husband. [CP 12[1]:760-2]

Notes for 2nd King of England Henry* I: [Master File.ftw]

Henry I was Duke of Normandy from 1106-1135 and King of England from 1100-1135. William I left Normandy to his oldest son Robert II Curthose and England to his next oldest son, William II Rufus. Henry was left great wealth and eventually outmanuvered his brothers to become King of England in 1100 and ruled 35 years. Henry is remembered for expanding and strengthening royal justice, integrating the Norman and Anglo-Saxon legal systems, and laying the foundation for more centralized royal rule. "The Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages" Norman F. Cantor, General Editor

Reigned 1100-1135. Duke of Normandy 1106-1135. His reign is notable for important legal and administrative reforms, and for the final resolution of the investitiure controversy. Abroad, he waged several campaigns in order to consolidate and expand his continental possessions. Was so hated by his brothers that they vowed to disinherit him. In 1106 he captured Robert and held him til he died. He proved to be a hard but just ruler. He aparently died from over eating Lampreys!

PETER of BLOIS, 1070-1117 AD on Henry I From Ingulf's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland with the Continuation of Peter of Blois

------William was succeeded on the throne by his brother Henry, a young man of extreme beauty, and, from his acquaintance with literature, much more astute than his two brothers, and better fitted, for reigning: his brother Robert being at this time in the Holy Land most valiantly fighting in the army of the Christians against the Turks and Saracens. He was crowned by Thomas, the archbishop of York, because, at this period, Anselm, archbishop of Canterbury was in exile Receiving royal homage and the oaths of fealty from. all, he immediately gave liberty to the Church, and forbade depraved customs and injurious exactions to prevail; besides which, he threw the said Ranulph, who was the author of them, into prison, and, dispatching a messenger, recalled the archbishop Anselm from exile.

Led astray and seduced by the bad counsels of the said most wicked Ranulph, king William, on the day of his death, held in his own hands the archbishopric of Canterbury, besides four other bishoprics, and eleven abbeys, all of which he let out to farm. He was the first of all the kings who placed the receipts on account of rent of all the vacant churches in his treasury y; whereas his father invariably, and with the greatest piety, in the same manner as all the other kings of England, his predecessors, had been in the habit of repaying all rents and profits of that nature, in the case of vacant churches, to the prelates who were the first to succeed, and had to the very last farthing accounted, through faithful servants, for the whole thereof. But as for him, after keeping all these 343 dignities for a long time in his own hands for no good reason whatever, and frequently making grants of them to farmers and usurious Jews, under color of employing long deliberation in the choice of a proper pastor, he repeatedly put them up to auction among the most ambitious and most wealthy of the clergy; and at last, on finding a well-filled purse as the result, asserting that all sanctity lay in that, he openly declared that that was the only deserving prelate. In this state of things, it was a matter greatly to be commended that, being confined to his bed and almost despairing of his life, on the decease of Lanfranc, the venerable archbishop Canterbury, a man of most holy life, as well as skilled in all branches of literature, he appointed the venerable Anselm, abbot of Bec, in Normandy, to the archbishopric of Canterbury, in a devout manner, and without any imputation of simony.

The before-named Ranulph, however, made his escape by certain iniquitous means from prison, and repaired to Normandy, and in every way encouraged the duke thereof, Robert, the king's brother, who on hearing of the death of his brother William had immediately returned from Palestine, to invade England. Accordingly, after the duke had levied a large army, and had come to the sea-shore, while the king, on the other hand, had strengthened the southern coasts of his kingdom with troops innumerable (being determined, once for all, to conquer and reign, or else to lose the kingdom and perish), archbishop Anselm and other men of character, who were promoters of peace, acting as mediators between them, brought about an arrangement upon the following terms; that the king should pay each year a compensation of three thousand pounds of silver, and that lasting peace should thenceforth be established between them. However, in after years, the duke, ill-advisedly, forgave this annual payment; and besides, he acted unwisely towards the natives [of Normandy], and those subject to him; upon which the king repaired to Normandy, and taking his brother prisoner in a pitched battle, kept him in prison to the day of his death, and united the whole of Normandy to his own kingdom.

The king, having gained this victory, and being instructed by the repeated exhortations of the archbishop Anselm, remitted for ever his right of investiture of churches by ring and pastoral staff, a question which had for a long time harassed the Church; while he retained in his own hand and excepted solely his royal privileges.

The following is taken from the Monarchs of England UK site.

Henry I William's younger brother Henry (reigned 1100-35) succeeded to the throne. He was crowned three days after his brother's death, against the possibility that his eldest brother Robert might claim the English throne. After the decisive battle of Tinchebrai in 1106 in France, Henry completed his conquest of Normandy from Robert, who then (unusually even for that time) spent the last 28 years of his life as his brother's prisoner. An energetic, decisive and occasionally cruel ruler, Henry centralized the administration of England and Normandy in the royal court, using 'viceroys' in Normandy and a group of advisers in England to act on his behalf when he was absent across the Channel. Henry successfully sought to increase royal revenues, as shown by the official records of his exchequer (the Pipe Roll of 1130, the first exchequer account to survive). He established peaceful relations with Scotland, through his marriage to Mathilda of Scotland.

Henry's name 'Beauclerc' denoted his good education (as the youngest son, his parents possibly expected that he would become a bishop); Henry was probably the first Norman king to be fluent in English. In 1120, his legitimate sons William and Richard drowned in the White Ship which sank in the English Channel. This posed a succession problem, as Henry never allowed any of his illegitimate children to expect succession to either England or Normandy. Henry had a legitimate daughter Matilda (widow of Emperor Henry V, subsequently married to the Count of Anjou). However, it was his nephew Stephen (reigned 1135-54), son of William the Conqueror's daughter Adela, who succeeded Henry after his death allegedly caused by eating too many lampreys (fish) in 1135, as the barons mostly opposed the idea of a female ruler. 1068-1135, king of England (1100-1135), youngest son of William I. He was called Henry Beauclerc because he could write. He quarreled with his elder brothers, William II of England and Robert II, duke of Normandy, and attempted with little success to establish a territorial base for himself on the Continent. When William II was killed, Henry seized the treasury and had himself elected and crowned king while Robert was away on crusade. Henry issued a charter promising to right injustices inflicted by William and to refrain from unjust demands on the church and the barons. He also recalled Anselm from exile. His marriage (1100) to Edith (thereafter known as Matilda), daughter of Malcolm III of Scotland and niece of Edgar Atheling, gained him some popularity with his English (as opposed to Norman) subjects. Robert invaded England in 1101, but the brothers reached an agreement by which Robert renounced his claim to the English throne in return for the promise of a pension and the surrender of

344 Henry's possessions in Normandy. In the succeeding years Henry defeated and banished Robert's leading supporters in England. He then invaded (1105) Normandy, defeated (1106) Robert at Tinchebrai, and became duke of Normandy. In the meantime Henry had become involved in a quarrel with Anselm over the lay investiture of bishops and abbots. In a compromise settlement (1107) the king gave up investiture but retained the right to receive homage from the prelates. Henry's reign continued to be troubled by uprisings in Normandy centering about Robert's son and encouraged by Louis VI of France, who was almost constantly at war with Henry. Henry's only legitimate son, William Atheling, was drowned (1120), and Henry I's second marriage was childless. The latter years of his reign were marked therefore by his attempts to secure the succession for his daughter Matilda. Henry's reign in England was one of order and progress. Royal justice was strengthened and expanded; the Norman legal system gradually fused with the old Anglo-Saxon. The first of the extant pipe rolls and the first appearance of the court of Exchequer date from this reign.

Henry I was born in the year 1068---a factor he himself regarded as highly significant, for he was the only son of the Conqueror born after the conquest of England, and to Henry this meant he was heir to the throne. He was not an attractive proposition: he was dissolute to a degree, producing at least a score of bastards; but far worse he was prone to sadistic cruelty---on one occasion, for example, personally punishing a rebellious burgher by throwing him from the walls of his town.

At the death of William the Conqueror, Henry was left no lands, merely 5,000 pounds of silver. With these he bought lands from his elder brother Robert Curthose, Duke of Normandy, only to see them taken back again a few years later by Robert, in unholy alliance with his brother William Rufus.

Henry could do little to avenge such treatment, but in England he found numerous barons who were tired of the exactions and ambitions of their king. He formed alliances with some of these, notably with the important de Clare family. He and some of the de Clares were with William Rufus on his last hunting expedition, and it is thought that the king's death was the result of Henry's plotting.

Certainly he moved fast to take advantage of it; leaving Rufus's body unattended in the woods, he swooped down on Winchester to take control of the treasury. Two days later he was in Westminster, being crowned by the Bishop of London. His speed is understandable when one realises that his elder brother, Robert [Curthose], was returning from the crusade, and claimed, with good reason, to be the true heir.

Henry showed great good sense in his first actions as King. He arrested Ranulph Flambard, William's tax- gatherer, and recalled Anselm, the exiled Archbishop. Furthermore, he issued a Charter of Liberties which promised speedy redress of grievances, and a return to the good government of the Conqueror. Putting aside for the moment his many mistresses, he married the sister of the King of Scots, who was descended from the royal line of Wessex; and lest the Norman barons should think him too pro-English in this action, he changed her name from Edith to Matilda. No one could claim that he did not aim to please.

In 1101 Robert Curthose invaded, but Henry met him at Alton, and persuaded him to go away again by promising him an annuity of £2,000. He had no intention of keeping up the payments, but the problem was temporarily solved.

He now felt strong enough to move against dissident barons who might give trouble in the future. Chief amongst these was the vicious Robert of Bellême, Earl of Shrewsbury, whom Henry had known for many years as a dangerous troublemaker. He set up a number of charges against him in the king's court, making it plain that if he appeared for trial he would be convicted and imprisoned. Thus Robert and his colleagues were forced into rebellion at a time not of their own choosing, were easily defeated and sent scuttling back to Normandy.

In Normandy Robert Curthose began to wreak his wrath on all connected with his brother, thus giving Henry an excellent chance to retaliate with charges of misgovernment and invade. He made two expeditions in 1104-5, before the great expedition of 1106 on which Robert was defeated at the hour-long battle of Tinchebrai, on the anniversary of Hastings. No one had expected such an easy victory, but Henry took advantage of the state of shock resulting from the battle to annex Normandy. Robert was imprisoned (in some comfort, it be said); he lived on for 28 more years, ending up in Cardiff castle whiling away the long hours learning Welsh. His son William Clito remained a free agent, to plague Henry for most of the rest of his reign.

345 In England the struggle with Anselm over the homage of bishops ran its course until the settlement of 1107. In matters of secular government life was more simple: Henry had found a brilliant administrator, Roger of Salisbury, to act as Justiciar for him. Roger had an inventive mind, a keen grasp of affairs, and the ability to single out young men of promise. He quickly built up a highly efficient team of administrators, and established new routines and forms of organisation within which they could work. To him we owe the Exchequer and its recording system of the Pipe Rolls, the circuits of royal justiciars spreading the king's peace, and the attempts at codification of law. Henry's good relationships with his barons, and with the burgeoning new towns owed much to skilful administration. Certainly he was able to gain a larger and more reliable revenue this way than by the crude extortion his brother had used.

In 1120 came the tragedy of the White Ship. The court was returning to England, and the finest ship in the land was filled with its young men, including Henry's son and heir William. Riotously drunk, they tried to go faster and faster, when suddenly the ship foundered. All hands except a butcher of Rouen were lost, and England was without an heir.

Henry's only legitimate child was Matilda, but she was married to the Emperor Henry V of Germany, and so could not succeed. But in 1125 her husband died, and Henry brought her home and forced the barons to swear fealty to her---though they did not like the prospect of a woman ruler. Henry then married her to Geoffrey of Anjou, the Normans' traditional enemy, and the barons were less happy---especially when the newly-weds had a terrible row, and Geoffrey ordered her out of his lands. In 1131 Henry, absolutely determined, forced the barons to swear fealty once more, and the fact that they did so is testimoney of his controlling power. Matilda and Geoffrey were reunited, and in 1133 she produced a son whom she named for his grandfather. If only Henry could live on until his grandson was old enough to rule, all would be well.

But in 1135, against doctor's orders, he ate a hearty meal of lampreys, got acute indigestion, which turned into fever, and died. He was buried at his abbey in Reading---some said in a silver coffin, for which there was an unsuccessful search at the Dissolution.

Notes for Lord William* Malet: [Master File.ftw]

William Malet, Lord Malet, a Norman baron, one of the generals and companions of William the Conqueror, said to have been the brother of King Harold's wife, and to have been entrusted with the guard of Harold's body after he had been slain on the battlefield. After the conquest he was made Governor of York Castle and was slain in its defense about 1071. He married Hesila (Esilia) Crispin, daughter of Gilbert Crispin I, baron of Tillieres. She probably married (2) Alured de Lincoln, a great Domesday baron who attended Duke William on his expedition to England in 1066 (See Crispin and Macary, "Falaise Roll", Appendix 20, pg. 156-160).

Note: Malet is a dimunitive of "Mal" meaning evil.

The Peytons, Camden observes, have had a common progenitor with the Uffords, who became Earls of Suffolk, the founder of both being William Mallet, a Norman baron, who was sheriff of Yorkshire in the 3rd of William I, and obtained grants of sundry lordships and manors from the crown, amongst which were Sibton and Peyton Hall, which he possessed at the time of the survey. "Iselham," says the same author, "formerly belonged to the Bernards, which came to the family of the Peytons by marriage, which knightly family of Peyton flowed out of the same male stock whence the Uffords, Earls of Suffolk, descended; albeit they assumed the surname of Peyton,

348 according to the use of that age, from their manor of Peyton Hall, in Boxford, in the county of Suffolk." [John Burke & John Bernard Burke, Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies of England, Ireland, and Scotland, Second Edition, Scott, Webster, & Geary, London, 1841, p. 408, Peyton, of Isleham]

Note: Domesday states that Walter de Caen held Sibton (given to him by William's widow) and Swein of Essex held Peyton--Walter having been dead since 1071.

------

William, according to some, was grandson of Lady Godiva & brother of Harold Godwyn's wife, while not necessarily entirely true, probably there was some relationship.

------

According to Crispin and Macary, "William (Guillaume) Malet de Graville stands out as one of the most imposing figures at the Conquest. There can be no doubt about his presence there, which is subscribed to by William of Poitiers, Guy of Amiens, Orderic Vital, and all the historians of this epoch. So much has been placed on record concerning him that just a few facts of his life will be recited here. He was probably descended from Gerard, a Scandinavian prince and companion of Duke Rollo, which gave the name of the fief of Gerardville or Graville, near Havre. Robert, the eldest son, occurs in a document of about 990 in Normandy. On his mother's side William Malet was of Anglo-Saxon origin, for she was probably the daughter of Leofric, Earl of Mercia, and Godwa or Godgifu, the supposed sister of Thorold the Sheriff in the time of Edward the Confessor, and therefore the aunt of Edwin and Morcar, Earls of Northumberland. He was nearly killed in the battle of Hastings but was rescued by the sire de Montfort and William of Vieuxpont, and was appointed by William the Conqueror to take charge of the body of Harold, a statement that has been disputed. The consensus of opinion favors it, and it is most logical if William Malet's mother was as stated the sister of Algar II., 7th Earl of Mercia, who was the father of Alditha, wife of Harold. He accompanied King William at the reduction of Nottingham and York in 1068, for which he was rewarded with the shreivalty of land in that county. Gilbert de Gand and Robert Fitz Richard were also commanders in this expedition. The following year he was besieged in the castle of York by Edgar, the Saxon prince, and was only saved from surrender by the timely arrival of the Conqueror. In the same year he was attacked by the Danes, who captured the city of York with great slaughter and took William Malet, his wife and children, prisoners, but their lives were spared, as was that of Gilbert de Gand, for the sake of their ransoms. There is evidence that he was slain in this year, but it is uncertain and the date of his death is unknown. An entry in Domesday that "William Malet was seized of this place (Cidestan, Co. Suffolk), where he proceeded on the King's service where he died," would indicate that his death occurred during the compilation of that book. He was witness to a charter of King William to the church of St. Martin-le-Grand, in London, and is there styled "princeps," which title, however, was honorary and not hereditary, having ceased with his death."

------

William Malet, or Guillaume, as he may have been called, "Sire de Graville", came from Graville Sainte Honorine between Le Havre and Harfleur, in what is today the French province of Normandy. He is said to have had a Norman father and a Saxon (read English) mother, and had some sort of association with King Harold of England before the conquest. William, through his Saxon mother, may actually have been related to King Harold, and also to the well known Lady Godiva. It is also possible that William and Harold were both God fathers of Duke William of Normandy's daughter, Abela.

The Malet Castle at Graville Sainte Honorine had an important strategic location, at the mouth of the Seine. It has now fallen into the sea, though some remnants of it may still be visible. A large section of wall with large iron rings attached was still there just over 100 years ago. The Abbey church, in which some of the Malets are buried, is now in the town of Le Havre. Though William Malet had connections to both sides in the conflict to come, his main allegiance was to Duke William of Normandy.

William fought with distinction at Hastings, as the following Excerpt from Wace's "Roman de Rou" attests:

William whom they call Mallet, Boldly throws himself among them;

349 With his flashing sword Against the English he makes furious onset; But his shield they clove, And his horse beneath him killed, And himself they would have slain, When came the Sire de Montfort And Lord William de Vez-Pont With the great force which they had, Him they bravely rescued. There many of their men they lost; Mallet they remounted on the field On a fresh war-horse.

When the battle was over, Duke William entrusted William Malet to attend to the burial of the dead English king. The body was buried under a heap of stones on top of a cliff at Hastings overlooking the shore that Harold had so bravely defended. William placed a stone on the grave with the epitaph:

"By command of the Duke, you rest here a King, O Harold, that you may be guardian still of the shore and sea". This burial of Harold was only temporary and the body was later re-buried at Harold's Abbey at Waltham.

William and his brother Durand held lands in Lincolnshire, England, during the reign of Edward the Confessor, and through the reign of Harold right up to the conquest, in addition to those in Normandy. These Lincolnshire holdings, all in the Danelaw, probably came from William and Durand's mother. After the conquest William's English holdings were greatly increased, again, principally in the Danelaw, as English lands were taken from their Saxon owners and handed over to Norman Barons. It is likely that Duke William conferred these estates on William, partly because of his loyalty and skill in battle, but also because of his prior connections with his Danish "cousins" there. Perhaps the Duke felt that William was the best man to bring these proud, warlike and independent settlers under the control of their new King.

William was dead at the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, but the holdings at that time of his son Robert, and of his wife, give a good indication of the extent of his estates. He held large parts of what are today Suffolk and Norfolk, with smaller amounts of land in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. Eye, in Suffolk appears to have been William's stronghold. Here he built a Motte and Bailey castle, after the Norman fashion. Nothing remains of the Norman fortifications, but the outline of the baileys and "Castle Mound", are still evident. There is even a slight indication of where the Market, founded by William Malet under Royal License would have been held.

William married Hesilia Crispin, by whom he had two sons, Robert and Gilbert, and one daughter, Beatrice. Robert and possibly Gilbert, along with their uncle Durand, accompanied their father at the battle of Hastings. The arms shown at the top of the page, likely carried by the Malets at Hastings, were used by many generations of the Malet family, both in England and in France, and can be seen on the Bayeux tapestry.

William was made Sheriff of York and granted considerable lands in Yorkshire following the building of the first Norman castle there (the mound now supports 'Clifford's Tower') in 1068. He and his fellow captains, Robert Fitz- Richard and William of Ghent, with 500 picked knights had to fight off a local revolt, headed by Edgar the Atheling; this in or shortly after January 1069. Robert Fitz-Richard and many of his men were killed and it was only by the timely arrival of King William that the City was saved. The natives remained restless and had another, token go, as soon as King William left but were quickly put down. The troops were strengthened and another castle built on the other side of the river from the original but, notwithstanding, in September 1069, William, his wife and two of his children were captured by a combined force of Danes and English under Sweyn of Denmark supported by Earls Waltheof and Gospatric and the Northumbrians, when York fell to them after a terrible fight. This led to King William ordering the burning and killing of everything in the north and Domesday, even 16 years later, records most of northern England as still being waste and uninhabited.

William, his wife and two children must have been released some time later and William retained most of his lands apart from those in Yorkshire, which will have come with the office of Sheriff, which had been taken from him. At some point the King awarded William the appellation of "Princep", and in the Chart granted by the King to the church of St. Martin le Grand, his signature appears as "Wilielmus Malet Princep". In the context of the

350 times, Princep would likely have been interpreted as "leader, or chief". William is believed to have died fighting "Hereward the Wake" in the Fens near Ely Cathedral, which lies between South Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk (and in the middle of the Malet holdings), in 1071. The Domesday book records that "...He went into the marsh", and that "...he went on the King's service, where he died".

William is generally accepted to be the progenitor of many of the various branches of the Malet family (those that can trace their lines back that far), both in England and in France. The descendants of Durand continued to hold lands in Lincolnshire, and are recorded in Irby on Humber up to the 16th century.

NORMAN SHERIFFS By 1066, when William the Conqueror seized power, he replaced all of the existing sheriffs with his own loyal comrades in arms. When William conveyed the offices of sheriff to his Normans, he also bestowed to them the title "Vicomte," which added nobility to their positions. He allowed Vicomte sheriffs to build castles, a powerful symbol of privilege and a far greater honor than had ever been granted to prior Anglo-Saxon sheriffs. The castles were a sign of aggressive force. This fortification symbolism helped identify William as the incomparable authority in the newly conquered land.

The most famous William the Conqueror sheriff was a man named William Malet, a ferocious warrior. During the Battle of Hasting his horse was killed from under him. Mounting a fresh horse, he continued leading the charge, killing the enemy along the way, to a Norman victory. William continued to use Malet to crush insurgent forces within his reign.. . . As a reward, William named Malet the sheriff of Yorkshire.

King William sought aggressive types for the office of sheriff whose ambitions were consistent with his. Those willing to squeeze the peasants to their maximum were the best qualified in William's eyes. He instituted the practice of selling the office to the highest bidder. This brought forth evil men willing to pay exorbitant prices for the office and then willing to do whatever it took to recoup their investment. . . No one spoke out for the peasantry because their only representative to the king was the very sheriffs embezzling them. The most notorious was Picot, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire. . . . Monks describe him as: a hungry lion, a prowling wolf, a crafty fox, a filthy swine, a dog without shame, who stuffed his belly like an insatiable beast as though the whole country were a single corpse.

If events reduced production within the shires and thereby reduced the prosperity of King William, the sheriff was then forced to press the peasants even more to make up for the deficiency. In 1083, William levied the highest tax assessment of his reign to make up for the previous year's famine and low production. . . . To enhance their income, sheriffs commonly pillaged Church properties. . . .

The only coin in circulation in twelfth century England was the silver penny. It was the responsibility of the sheriff to police the silver content in the coinage. If the sheriff failed to see that the tender did not meet quality assurance in the amount of silver content versus the alloy percentage, he was held personally liable for the shortage. Because this burden was placed on the sheriffs in the area that effected them the most, their pocketbooks. . . .Enforcement of the matter was particularly unkind under the reign of King Henry II to punish offenders that circulated "bastard" coins. The first offense routinely resulted in the severing of a hand or castration. . . .

The coming of King John in 1199 brought about one of the most stirring periods in the history of the medieval sheriff. . . . As King John waged war against the Welsh, the French, and the Irish, he placed the emphasis upon the sheriffs to finance his wars. . . . Because of the sheriff's authority and ability to raise funds, the 13th century saw the sheriff as the most powerful administrative force in medieval England. . . .

King John personally knew every one of the 100 or so sheriffs that he appointed between 1199 and 1216. Some were his intimate friends and most trusted advisors. In contrast to the prior practice of King Richard, he appointed only two members of the Church to the post. He instead chose to select intense, secular men, with strong military backgrounds. . . . His deliberate selection of men of harsh demeanor . . . was considered by people of his time as a substantive answer for the difficult issues of the day . . . tough men for tough times. . . .William Malet, of Granville, Normandy; also held lands in Lincs before 1066 (possibly by virtue of his mother's putative status of Englishwoman); granted the feudal Barony of Eye, Suffolk, following the Conquest, in which he was one of

Notes for Roger* de Mortimer: Roger de Mortimer, deemed by some to have been son of William de Warren, and by others, of Walter de St. Martin, brother of that William, was founder of the abbey of St. Victor, in Normandy. "It is reported," says Dugdale, "that in the year 1054 (which was twelve years before the Norman Conquest), when Odo, brother of Henry, King of France, invaded the territory of Evreux, Duke William sent this Roger, then his general (with Robert, Earl of Ewe, and other stout soldiers), to resist his attempts; who meeting with Odo near to the castle of Mortimer, gave him battle, and obtained a glorious victory. It is further observable of this Roger that he was by consanguinity allied to the Norman duke (afterwards king, by the name of William the Conqueror), his mother being niece to Gunnora, wife of Richard, Duke of Normandy, great grandmother to the Conqueror." The presumed son of this Roger, Ralph de Mortimer, accompanying the Duke of Normandy in his expedition against England, was one of his principal commanders at the decisive battle of Hastings.

Notes for King of England William* I: [Master File.ftw]

William I, byname WILLIAM The CONQUEROR, or The BASTARD, or WILLIAM of NORMANDY, French GUILLAUME le CONQUÉRANT, or le BÂTARD, or GUILLAUME de NORMANDIE (b. c. 1028, Falaise, Normandy--d. Sept. 9, 1087, Rouen), duke of Normandy (as William II) from 1035 and king of England from 1066, one of the greatest soldiers and rulers of the Middle Ages. He made himself the mightiest feudal lord in France and then changed the course of England's history by his conquest of that country.

Early years

William was the elder of two children of Robert I of Normandy and his concubine Herleva, or Arlette, the daughter of a burgher from the town of Falaise. In 1035 Robert died when returning from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and William, his only son, whom he had nominated as his heir before his departure, was accepted as duke by the Norman magnates and his feudal overlord, King Henry I of France. William and his friends had to overcome enormous obstacles. His illegitimacy (he was generally known as the Bastard) was a handicap, and he had to survive the collapse of law and order that accompanied his accession as a child.

Three of William's guardians died violent deaths before he grew up, and his tutor was murdered. His father's kin were of little help; most of them thought that they stood to gain by the boy's death. But his mother managed to protect William through the most dangerous period. These early difficulties probably contributed to his strength of purpose and his dislike of lawlessness and misrule.

Ruler of Normandy.

By 1042, when William reached his 15th year, was knighted, and began to play a personal part in the affairs of his duchy, the worst was over. But his attempts to recover rights lost during the anarchy and to bring disobedient vassals and servants to heel inevitably led to trouble. From 1046 until 1055 he dealt with a series of baronial rebellions, mostly led by kinsmen. Occasionally he was in great danger and had to rely on Henry of France for help. In 1047 Henry and William defeated a coalition of Norman rebels at Val-ès-Dunes, southeast of Caen. It was in these years that William learned to fight and rule.

William soon learned to control his youthful recklessness. He was always ready to take calculated risks on campaign and, most important, to fight a battle. But he was not a chivalrous or flamboyant commander. His plans were simple, his methods direct, and he exploited ruthlessly any advantage gained. If he found himself at a disadvantage, he withdrew immediately. He showed the same qualities in his government. He never lost sight of his aim to recover lost ducal rights and revenues, and, although he developed no theory of government or great interest in administrative techniques, he was always prepared to

353 improvise and experiment. He seems to have lived a moral life by the standards of the time, and he acquired an interest in the welfare of the Norman church. He made his half brother, Odo, bishop of Bayeux in 1049 at the age of about 16, and Odo managed to combine the roles of nobleman and prelate in a way that did not greatly shock contemporaries. But William also welcomed foreign monks and scholars to Normandy. Lanfranc of Pavia, a famous master of the liberal arts, who entered the monastery of Bec about 1042, was made abbot of Caen in 1063.

According to a brief description of William's person by an anonymous author, who borrowed extensively from Einhard's Life of Charlemagne, he was just above average height and had a robust, thick-set body. Though he was always sparing of food and drink, he became fat in later life. He had a rough bass voice and was a good and ready speaker. Writers of the next generation agree that he was exceptionally strong and vigorous. William was an out- of-doors man, a hunter and soldier, fierce and despotic, generally feared; uneducated, he had few graces but was intelligent and shrewd and soon obtained the respect of his rivals.

New alliances.

After 1047 William began to take part in events outside his duchy. In support of his lord, King Henry, and in pursuit of an ambition to strengthen his southern frontier and expand into Maine, he fought a series of campaigns against Geoffrey Martel, count of Anjou. But in 1052 Henry and Geoffrey made peace, there was a serious rebellion in eastern Normandy, and, until 1054 William was again in serious danger. During this period he conducted important negotiations with his cousin Edward the Confessor, king of England, and took a wife.

Norman interest in Anglo-Saxon England derived from an alliance made in 1002, when King Ethelred II of England married Emma, the sister of Count Richard II, William's grandfather. Two of her sons, William's cousins once removed, had reigned in turn in England, Hardecanute (1040-42) and Edward the Confessor (1042-66). William had met Edward during that prince's exile on the Continent and may well have given him some support when he returned to England in 1041. In that year Edward was about 36 and William 14. It is clear that William expected some sort of reward from Edward and, when Edward's marriage proved unfruitful, began to develop an ambition to become his kinsman's heir. Edward probably at times encouraged William's hopes. His childlessness was a diplomatic asset.

In 1049 William negotiated with Baldwin V of Flanders for the hand of his daughter, Matilda. Baldwin, an imperial vassal with a distinguished lineage, was in rebellion against the Western emperor, Henry III, and in desperate need of allies. The proposed marriage was condemned as incestuous (William and Matilda were evidently related in some way) by the Emperor's friend, Pope Leo IX, at the Council of Reims in October 1049; but so anxious were the parties for the alliance that before the end of 1053, possibly in 1052, the wedding took place. In 1059 William was reconciled to the papacy, and as penance the disobedient pair built two monasteries at Caen. Four sons were born to William and Matilda: Robert (the future duke of Normandy), Richard (who died young), William Rufus (the Conqueror's successor in England), and Henry (Rufus' successor). Among the daughters was Adela, who was the mother of Stephen, king of England.

Edward the Confessor was supporting the Emperor, and it is possible that William used his new alliance with Flanders to put pressure on Edward and extort an acknowledgment that he was the English king's heir. At all events, Edward seems to have made some sort of promise to William in 1051, while Tostig, son of the greatest nobleman in England, Earl Godwine, married Baldwin's half sister. The immediate purpose of this tripartite alliance was to improve the security of each of the parties. If William secured a declaration that he was Edward's heir, he was also looking very far ahead.

Between 1054 and 1060 William held his own against an alliance between King Henry I and Geoffrey Martel of Anjou. Both men died in 1060 and were succeeded by weaker rulers. As a result, in 1063 William was able to conquer Maine. In 1064 or 1065 Edward sent his brother-in-law, Harold, earl of Wessex, Godwine's son and successor, on an embassy to Normandy. William took him on a campaign into Brittany, and in connection with this Harold swore an oath in which, according to Norman writers, he renewed Edward's bequest of the throne to William and promised to support it.

When Edward died childless on Jan. 5, 1066, Harold was accepted as king by the English magnates, and William decided on war. Others, however, moved more quickly. In May Tostig, Harold's exiled brother, raided England, and in September he joined the invasion forces of Harald III Hardraade, king of Norway, off the Northumbrian coast. William assembled a fleet, recruited an army, and gathered his forces in August at the mouth of the Dives River. It is likely that he originally intended to sail due north and invade England by way of the Isle of Wight and

354 Southampton Water. Such a plan would give him an offshore base and interior lines. But adverse winds detained his fleet in harbour for a month, and in September a westerly gale drove his ships up-Channel.

The Battle of Hastings.

William regrouped his forces at Saint-Valéry on the Somme. He had suffered a costly delay, some naval losses, and a drop in the morale of his troops. On September 27, after cold and rainy weather, the wind backed south. William embarked his army and set sail for the southeast coast of England. The following morning he landed, took the unresisting towns of Pevensey and Hastings, and began to organize a bridgehead with between 4,000 and 7,000 cavalry and infantry.

William's forces were in a narrow coastal strip, hemmed in by the great forest of Andred, and, although this corridor was easily defensible, it was not much of a base for the conquest of England. The campaigning season was almost past, and when William received news of his opponent it was not reassuring. On September 25 Harold had defeated and slain Tostig and Harald Hardraade at Stamford Bridge, near York, and was retracing his steps to meet the new invader. On October 13, when Harold emerged from the forest, William was taken by surprise. But the hour was too late for Harold to push on to Hastings, and he took up a defensive position. Early the next day William went out to give battle. He attacked the English phalanx with archers and cavalry but saw his army almost driven from the field. He rallied the fugitives, however, and brought them back into the fight and in the end wore down his opponents. Harold's brothers were killed early in the battle. Toward nightfall the King himself fell and the English gave up. William's coolness and tenacity secured him victory in this fateful battle, and he then moved against possible centres of resistance so quickly that he prevented a new leader from emerging. On Christmas Day 1066 he was crowned king in Westminster Abbey. In a formal sense the Norman Conquest of England had taken place.

King of England

William was already an experienced ruler. In Normandy he had replaced disloyal nobles and ducal servants with his own friends, limited private warfare, and recovered usurped ducal rights, defining the feudal duties of his vassals. The Norman church flourished under his rule. He wanted a church free of corruption but subordinate to him. He would not tolerate opposition from bishops and abbots or interference from the papacy. He presided over church synods and reinforced ecclesiastical discipline with his own. In supporting Lanfranc, prior of Bec, against Berengar of Tours in their dispute over the doctrine of the Eucharist, he found himself on the side of orthodoxy. He was never guilty of the selling of church office (simony). He disapproved of clerical marriage. At the same time he was a stern and sometimes rough master, swayed by political necessities, and he was not generous to the church with his own property. The reformer Lanfranc was one of his advisers; but perhaps even more to his taste were the worldly and soldierly bishops Odo of Bayeux and Geoffrey of Coutances.

William left England early in 1067 but had to return in December because of English unrest. The English rebellions that began in 1067 reached their peak in 1069 and were finally quelled in 1071. They completed the ruin of the highest English aristocracy and gave William a distaste for his newly conquered kingdom. Since his position on the Continent was deteriorating, he wanted to solve English problems as cheaply as possible. To secure England's frontiers, he invaded Scotland in 1072 and Wales in 1081 and created special defensive "marcher" counties along the Scottish and Welsh borders.

In the last 15 years of his life he was more often in Normandy than in England, and there were five years, possibly seven, in which he did not visit the kingdom at all. He retained most of the greatest Anglo-Norman barons with him in Normandy and confided the government of England to bishops, trusting especially his old friend Lanfranc, whom he made archbishop of Canterbury. Much concerned that the natives should not be unnecessarily disturbed, he allowed them to retain their own laws and courts.

William returned to England only when it was absolutely necessary: in 1075 to deal with the aftermath of a rebellion by Roger, earl of Hereford, and Ralf, earl of Norfolk, which was made more dangerous by the intervention of a Danish fleet; and in 1082 to arrest and imprison his half brother Odo, bishop of Bayeux and earl of Kent, who was planning to take an army to Italy, perhaps to make himself pope. In the spring of 1082 William had his son Henry knighted, and in August at Salisbury he took oaths of fealty from all the important landowners in England, whosoever's vassals they might be. In 1085 he returned with a large army to meet the threat of an invasion by Canute IV (Canute the Holy) of Denmark. When this came to nothing owing to Canute's death in 1086, William ordered an economic and tenurial survey to be made of the kingdom, the results of which are

355 summarized in the two volumes of Domesday Book.

William was preoccupied with the frontiers of Normandy. The danger spots were in Maine and the Vexin on the Seine, where Normandy bordered on the French royal demesne. After 1066 William's continental neighbours became more powerful and even more hostile. In 1068 Fulk the Surly succeeded to Anjou and in 1071 Robert the Frisian to Flanders. Philip I of France allied with Robert and Robert with the Danish king, Canute IV. There was also the problem of William's heir apparent, Robert Curthose, who, given no appanage and seemingly kept short of money, left Normandy in 1077 and intrigued with his father's enemies. In 1081 William made a compromise with Fulk in the treaty of Blancheland: Robert Curthose was to be count of Maine but as a vassal of the count of Anjou. The eastern part of the Vexin, the county of Mantes, had fallen completely into King Philip's hands in 1077 when William had been busy with Maine. In 1087 William demanded from Philip the return of the towns of Chaumont, Mantes, and Pontoise. In July he entered Mantes by surprise, but while the town burned he suffered some injury from which he never recovered. He was thwarted at the very moment when he seemed about to enforce his last outstanding territorial claim.

Death

William was taken to a suburb of Rouen, where he lay dying for five weeks. He had the assistance of some of his bishops and doctors, and in attendance were his half brother Robert, count of Mortain, and his younger sons, William Rufus and Henry. Robert Curthose was with the King of France. It had probably been his intention that Robert, as was the custom, should succeed to the whole inheritance. In the circumstances he was tempted to make the loyal Rufus his sole heir. In the end he compromised: Normandy and Maine went to Robert and England to Rufus. Henry was given great treasure with which he could purchase an appanage. William died at daybreak on September 9, in his 60th year, and was buried in rather unseemly fashion in St. Stephen's Church, which he had built at Caen.

Notes for Queen of England Matilda* de Flanders: [Master File.ftw]

For many years it was assumed that Gundred, who married William de Warrene, was a daughter of William I and Matilda (as indicated in The Plantagenet Ancestry). However it is now known that Gundred was a daughter of Gherbod the Fleming (as indicated in Ancestral Roots). The following information strongly suggests that Gundred's mother was Matilda (thus the mistaken notion that she was daughter of William I).

------copied from Bill Crawford's ancestry: crawfolk data base on World Connect Project, rootsweb.com ------

Had Matilda of Flanders as many husbands as Adelaide, Countess of Ponthieu, and, like her, issue by each? What was the real cause of the inhibition of her marriage with William, Duke of Normandy, — its delay for six years? What truth is there in the story of her unreturned affection for the Angio-Saxon Brihtric Meaw, and of her vindictive conduct to him after she became Queen of England? I have hesitated to believe in the popular tradition that Duke William grossly assaulted the daughter of Baldwin in the street or in her own chamber, not that I have any doubt about his being capable of such an outrage, but because he was too politic to commit it, and she was not the woman to have forgiven it, assuming that the offence was the simple refusal of his hand on the ground of his illegitimacy. It is obvious, however, that the early life of Matilda is involved in mystery, and it is highly probable that a clearer insight into it would enable us to account for much which we now reject as legend, or fail to reconcile with acknowledged facts. If there be any foundation for the story of William's brutality, the outburst of ungovernable fury might have been due to a much greater provocation than has been assigned for it. Brihtric, the son of Algar or Alfar, sumamed Meaw (Snow), from the extreme fairness of his complexion, an Anglo-Saxon Thegn, possessor of large domains in England, had been sent on an embassy from King Edward the Confessor to the Connt of Flanders. Matilda, we are told, fell desperately in love with him, and offered herself to him in marriage! Either disgusted by her forwardness, or preferring another, he declined the flattering proposal. "Hell hath no fury like a woman foiled," and she kept her wrath warm till she was in a position to ruin the man she had so passionately loved. She had no sooner become the Queen of England than she induced William to confiscate, on some pretence, all Brihtric's estates, and obtained the greater proportion for herself. The unfortunate Thegn

356 was arrested at his house at Hanley, in Worcestershire, on the very day Saint Wulfstan had consecrated a chapel of his building, dragged to Winchester, and died in a dungeon! The truth of this story is supported by the impartial evidence of Domesday, in which Hanley and the principal manors held by Brihtric in the time of King Edward are recorded as the possessions of Queen Matilda, and the remainder passed to Fitz Hamon.

After her hand had been rejected by the noble Saxon, it is presumed she became the wife of a Fleming, named Gherbod, who appears to have held the hereditary office of Advocate of the Abbey of Saint Bertin, in St. Omers, and by whom she had at least two children, viz., Gherbod, to whom William gave the earldom of Chester, and Gundred, "the sister of Gherbod," and wife of William de Warren. Was this a clandestine or an informal marriage, which, as it has never been acknowledged by any chronicler, contemporary or other, might have been unknown to the Duke of Normandy, when he proposed to one whom he believed to be the maiden daughter of the Count of Flanders, and the corporal chastisement inflicted, however unworthy of a man, passed over, sub silentio, for prudential reasons, by the parties wlio had been guilty of a disgraceful suppression of facts? The subsequent marriage under such circumstances will awaken no surprise in any one who has studied the character of William. Utterly unscrupulous, destitute of every generous, noble, or delicate feeling, every action of his life was dictated by POLICY alone. An alliance with the Count of Flanders might be considered by the crafty schemer sufficiently advantageous to warrant his overlooking any objectionable antecedents in the conduct of a granddaughter of a king of France, his first discovery of which had provoked his savage nature into a momentary ebullition of fury. Her being the mother of two children was a point in her favour with a man whose sole motive for marrying was the perpetuation of a dynasty, and the fair prospect of legitimate issue, in whose veins the blood of the Capets should enrich that of the Furrier of Falaise, would overcome any hesitation at espousing the widow of an Advocate of St. Bertin. On the other hand, Count Baldwin would be too happy to embrace the opportunity of reinstating his daughter in a position befitting her birth, and, as well as the lady herself, gladly condone past insults for future advantages and the hope of smothering, in the splendour of a ducal wedding, the awkward whispers of scandal.

I have said thus much simply to show the view that may be taken of these mysterious circumstances, in opposition to the rose-coloured representations of some modern historians, who, upon no stronger evidence, elevate the Conqueror into a model husband, and describe Matilda as the perfection of womankind.

Notes for Roger Bigod: [Master File.ftw]

FRAMLINGHAM CASTLE, NEAR SAXMUNDHAM, SUFFOLK. Not all destinations need have a

357 genealogical connection. Here is one worth visiting for many reasons -- history, architecture, setting, even the great pub meals a few yards from the gate. The first castle on the site was built by Roger Bigod, on land he received from Henry I. The castle seen today was begun some years later, in 1190, by another Roger Bigod, 2nd Earl of Norfolk. An earlier fortification had been destroyed after being forfeited by Roger's father to King Henry II (for being part of the rebellion of 1173-74). Framlingham has massive curtain walls 40 feet high and eight feet thick, sectioned by 13 towers, and surrounded by deep ditches. It is a good walk all the way around. For many years the castle was owned by the Howard family. It was here that Mary Tudor waited out the Lady Jane Grey crisis in 1553, and gathered her support, leaving from Framlingham on her triumphal journey to London. Years later, the Howard family sold the castle to Sir Robert Hitcham, and when he died in 1636 he left it to Pembroke College, Cambridge. The building on the site of the old great hall was built during these times and subsequently served as the parish poorhouse until it was closed in the 1830s. Now it houses the castle office and gift shop of English Heritage, which maintains the site. Framlingham is a fascinating place, whether or not you include Howard or Hitcham or Bigod in your family tree. It played many parts on the national and local stage. There is an audio tour toenhance the visual impact -- with 28 points of interest on the walls and in the castle yard. Some English Heritage sites are open year round, and this is one of them (for a picture, hours, etc. visit Framlingham Castle is magnificent. Take a few moments to try and imagine 20,000 loyal supporters of Mary camped in and around the castle in 1553.

Notes for 1st Earl of Shrewsbury Roger* de Montgomery II: [jweber3.FTW]

Shrewsbury, Earldom of: In early December 1074 Roger de Montgomery was created Earl of Shropshire or Shrewsbury. As with other medieval earldoms, little distinction was then made between the county town and county proper when designating a specific name for a title, chiefly because an earl, who was then more or less and official, albeit often hereditary, was inconceivable except as earl of a county.

Roger was son of another Roger de Montgomery, seigneur of the Norman places (St Germain-de-Montgomery and Ste-Foy-de-Montgomery) of that name in the Calvados region. He was a prominent member of the nobles grouped around William (later William I of England, The Conqueror) of Normandy well before the 1066 invasion of England but stayed behind in Normandy during the actual enterprise. The year after Hastings he went to England and received land grants in Sussex. He is thought to have constructed the Castle of Montgomery (now in Powys, but formerly named Mongomeryshire after his family), doing so shortly before the Domesday Survey. [Burke's Peerage, p. 2604]

Shrewsbury, Earldom of: His [Roger, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury's] son, the 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury (or Shropshire) of the 1074 creation, was killed by a missile launched from a Norse (or conceivably Irish) raiding party off the Anglesey coast while riding along the forshore on that island trying to fend them off. He was accounted gentle by the English and Normans but a Hammer by the Welsh. Under the systerm then prevailing the Earldom passed to an elder brother, Robert de Belleme, who constructed Bridgnorth Castle and continued the family policy of harrying the Welsh. He rebelled against Henry I and in 1102 was deprived of the Earldom of Shrewsbury/Shropshire, together with his English and Welsh estates. [Burke's Peerage, p. 2604]

2nd Earl Leicester; aka Le Bossu PlantagEncy, 173: 2nd earl Leicester (1118-68) justiciar of England (c. 1155). Twin brother Waleran of Meulan defected to Empress Matilda, but Robert stayed with Stephen. 1140's, lieutenant of Normandy, lost ducy to

360 Geoffrey Plantagenet. Helped secure Henry II's accession; regent of England during Henry's absences (1158- 1163; 1165)

EARLDOM OF LEICESTER

II. 2. ROBERT,(a) EARL OF LEICESTER, younger son, being twin with Waleran, who succeeded his father as Count of Meulan, was born 1104, and was commonly called Le Bossu or Le Goczen. He styles himself Earl of Leicester in the confirmation of his charter on behalf of Bec and St. Nicaise-de-Meulan in 1119. He and his brother Waleran were brought up at the court of Henry I with great care on account of the King's gratitude to their father. They accompanied Henry when he interviewed Pope Calixtus at Gisors, November 1119 where they astonished the Cardinals by their learning. On 8 September 1131 Robert was one of the five Earls who witnessed Henry's charter to Salisbury at the Northampton Council, and both the brothers were present at the deathbed of Henry L In the anarchy which followed Stephen's accession he engaged in private warfare with his hereditary enemy, Roger de Tosny, whom he captured with the assistance of his brother Waleran. In 1137 the twins returned to England with Stephen. Meanwhile, during Robert's absence in England, his possessions in Normandy were overrun until he came to terms with Roger de Tosny. In June 1139 the two brothers took a leading part in the seizing of the Bishops o! Salisbury and Lincoln at Oxford. At about this time he received from Stephen a grant to him as Earl of Leicester and to his heirs of the town and castle of Hereford "et totum comitatum de Herefordisc.," excepting the lands of the Bishop, those of the Abbot of Reading and of other churches and abbeys holding in chief of the King, and excepting also the fees of Hugh de Mortemer, Osbert son of Hugh, and others, "cum aliis omnibus rebus et libertatibus quae ad omnia prefata pertinent cum quibus Gul. filius Osbern unquam melius vel liberius tenuit." This grant was made at Newton (probably near Leominster) at a time when Miles of Gloucester had already taken possession of the county for the Empress, and therefore cannot have been effectual to bestow either the lands or the Earldom of Hereford, if such was Stephen's intention. After the defeat of Stephen, 2 Feb. 1141, Robert appears to have made a truce with the Angevin party in Normandy until he should return from England, and devoted himself to his foundation of St. Mary de Pré at Leicester, which was accomplished in 1143. According to the narrative of St. Mary's, he became a canon regular there circa 1153, and so remained until his death, but the story conflicts with his known public career. In that year Henry, son of the Empress, anticipating his succession to the throne (which was agreed by the Treaty of Waningford in November 1153), gave Robert and his son Robert charters, dated at Bristol, "restoring" to them the lands then held by the elder, Robert, and granting them the Stewardship of England and of Normandy, whereby he doubtless secured their support of his claims to the crown. Robert was at the siege of Torigny in October 1154 with Henry II just before his accession, attended his Coronation in December 1154, and rapidly rose in the new King's favour. He received a confirmation charter of the grant made at Bristol and thus became Steward of England and of Nor:mandy. He was made Justiciar in the following year, and he acted as Viccroy part of the time with Richard de Luci during the King's absence from England from December 1158, after Eleanor left the country until his rcturn 25 January 1162/3. He was present at the Council of Clarendon, 13-28 January 1163/4, and was the first to attest the "Constitutions," to which he procured the assent of Thomas à Becket. He took part with the Crown in its struggle with Becket, but sought to reconcile the King and the Archbishop at the Council of Northampton in October 1164. As Justiciar he pronounced sentence on the Archbishop, who cut short his address by denying the jurisdiction of the court. In 1165 he again acted as Viceroy on the King's departure. In the spring of 1166 he went to Normandy with the King, but was in England again in October, and retained the Justiciarship until his death two years later. He married, after November 1120, Amice, daughter of Ralph, SEIGNEUR OF GAEL AND MONTFORT in Brittany, who was son of Ralph, EARL OF NORFOLK, by Emma, daughter of William FiTZOSBERN, 1st Earl of Hereford. By this marriage he acquired a large part of the FitzOsbern inheritance in Normandy and England. He died 5 April 1168, and was probably buried in St. Mary de Pré. Amice survived him, and is said to have entered the convent of Nuneaton. [CP 7:527-30, 14:429]

[a] It has become the established usage to apply the name of Beaumont to the Earls of Leicester of the first line. Though doubtless a convenient form of nomenclature, it lacks contemporary authority. Roger, Seigneur of Beaumont-le-Roger, the contemporary of the Conqueror, is called Roger de Beaumont with good reason. Orderic speaks of his younger brother Robert as Robert de Beaumont, but in doing so is clearly transferring to him the style borne later by Roger, for Robert always appears in charters as Robertus flius Humphredi. Robert, son of Roger, was also styled de Beaumont until he became Count of Meulan, but his son Robert, 2nd Earl of Leicester, is never so styled. In the next generation the question does not arise, for there were no younger sons. In the last generation of these Earls, William, the eldest brother (who d. vp), is in charters always William de Bréteuil, and Robert, before he succeeded as Earl, figures as Robert de Bréteuil in two charters, and is also so styled in the Chron. de Mailros. There was no reason why this branch of the family should take its style from a place in which

361 it had no interest. Hugh (said to have become Earl of Bedford), younger brother of Robert and Waleran, witnesses a charter circa 1123-38 as Hugone de Mellent. With respect to the elder branch, those who were not themselves Counts were called de Mellento, and this though the caput of their Norman honour was Beaumont, and this endured as the name of two branches of the family after the loss of the comti of Meulan.

Notes for Lambert* de Multon: MULTON OF EGREMONT or EGREMOND

This family derived its name from Moulton, near Spalding, in Lincolnshire,

LAMBERT DE MULTON, its earliest recorded ancestor, descended at least on one side from English thegns. In 1142 or 1143 he held 2 carucates of land in Revesby of William (de Roumare), Earl of Lincoln, by the service of 1/4 knight's fee, as grandson (and heir) of Brictive, and an oxgang of land under Robert, his wife's father. For these lands the Earl gave him an exchange in Miningsby, near Bolingbroke, and in or before 1155 granted to Spalding Priory Lambert's service for the land in Miningsby. Lambert held land in Moulton from the prior's manor of Spalding, 1/2 knight's fee of the new feoffment in Bourne of the Earl of Lincoln, a lordship in Frankton, land in Weston, and land in Skirbeck and Kirkton from Conan, Earl of Richmond, whose charter to Kirkstead Abbey he witnessed at "Wasingburg." Between 1154 and 1156 he witnessed a charter of Gilbert (de Gand), Earl of Lincoln, to the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln. In 1165 he rendered account in Lincs of an amercement of 100 marks, and in the following year Thomas, his son, accounted for him. He married a daughter of Robert (----), presumably of Norman blood, possibly Robert BRIWER. He was living in 1166, but the date of his death is not known. He was buried in Spalding Priory.

363 2813329408. Rabel* De Tancarville II.

Notes for Almeric* D'Abitot: [Master File.ftw]

Almeric's name is sometimes softened to the French form "Amaury". The name of Almeric's Lordship was Saint Jean d'Abitot, for the Patron Saint of the Church there. His son Urse is our first ancestor in England. In a map, Harfleur is placed very near Le Havre, almost directly east, - slightly north - therefrom, Saint Jean d'Abitot is placed almost directly south from Saint Romain (which is very slightly northeast from Harfleur) (Got that?) Tancarville is very near Saint Jean d'Abitot, toward the latter's east. Tancarville is on the winding, twisting, River Seine, near the River's mouth. The chateau there was built by Tancred, on of the great seigneurs of Normandy in the tenth century and its position, just at the mouth of the Seine, was so strong that it soon became one of the great strongholds of Normandy. It is said that when the English attacked this fortress in 1437 they were unable to take it, so they set seige and the castle was held for three months by a mere handful of soldiers. Tancarville family shrine appears to have been destroyed long ago, but a part is still there

Notes for Count of Brionne Godfrey* FitzRichard: Eldest of Richard I's illegitimate children; was one of those sons of Count Richard of Normandy, who had no pretensions to legitimacy for he was not a son of Gunnora, and his mother was a nameless concubine. The county of Eu was granted to him in 996 by his half-brother soon after his accession, for it was the settled policy of Count Richard II to surround himself with a brilliant court, and he began his reign by creating dignities and titles of honour for the cadets of his family. Geoffrey was also intrusted with the custody of the fortress of Brionne, which commands the valley of the Risle, and is often called Count of Brionne in consequence of his residing there, but Brionne was never the caput of a county. Count Geoffrey died within a few years, and was succeeded by his son Gilbert, although at this period the heir had no absolute right of succession to the appanage enjoyed by his father.

Notes for King of Scotland Malcolm* III Canmore King of Scotland: [jweber3.FTW]

Malcolm III CANMORE (b. c. 1031--d. Nov. 13, 1093, near Alnwick, Northumberland, Eng.), king of Scotland from 1058 to 1093, founder of the dynasty that consolidated royal power in the Scottish kingdom.

The son of King Duncan I (reigned 1034-40), Malcolm lived in exile in England during part of the reign of his father's murderer, Macbeth (reigned 1040-57). Malcolm killed Macbeth in battle in 1057 and then ascended the throne. After the conquest of England by William the Conqueror, in 1066, Malcolm gave refuge to the Anglo-

365 Saxon prince Edgar the Aetheling and his sisters, one of whom, Margaret (later St. Margaret), became his second wife.

Malcolm acknowledged the overlordship of William in 1072 but nevertheless soon violated his feudal obligations and made five raids into England. During the last of these invasions he was killed by the forces of King William II Rufus (reigned 1087-1100). Except for a brief interval after Malcolm's death, the Scottish throne remained in his family until the death of Queen Margaret, the Maid of Norway, in 1290. Of Malcolm's six sons by Margaret, three succeeded to the throne: Edgar (reigned 1097-1107), Alexander I (1107-24), and David I (1124-53). [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]

According to Brian Tompsett, "interred at Escorial, Madrid, Spain."

Some say died 1098. Slew Macbeth 1057. King of Strathclyde. "Big Head"

(Malcolm Canmore), d. 1093, king of Scotland (1057-93), son of Duncan I; successor to Macbeth (d. 1057). He was raised in England. It took him some years after Macbeth's death to regain the boundaries of his father's kingdom. About 1068, Edgar Atheling, pretender to the English throne, took refuge with Malcolm, who soon married Edgar's sister Margaret (see Margaret of Scotland, Saint). On behalf of Edgar, Malcolm invaded N England, but in 1072 William I of England invaded Scotland, and Malcolm was forced to pay homage at Abernathy. In the reign of William II, Edgar joined Malcolm in his raid into England in 1091, but William forced both men to submit and to do homage. Malcolm was killed at Alnwick, ambushed by a Norman friend while on still another raid into England. His frequent wars insured the independence of his kingdom, which made possible the great ecclesiastical reorganization initiated by his wife, Margaret. Queen Margaret died 3 days after Malcolm, and Scotland was throne into chaos. Malcolm was succeeded briefly by his brother Donald Bane. Raised in the Hebrides by Norse, he overthrew Norman feudalism for Viking policy. Duncan II, Malcolm's oldest son, had been held hostage by William Rufus, son of William the Conqueror. He was sent with Rufus's support to overthrow Donald, and succeeded (reigned 1093-94), but was murdered in return and Donald was recrowned in 1094. Edgar, Donald's half brother, is sent to take on Donald, again with the support of an Anglo Norman army, and chases him out in 1097. (reigned 1097-1107) He makes peace with Magnus Barelegs, King of Norway, ceding him the Hebrides which he in fact had been ruling for many years. Upon Edgar's death in 1107, his brother Alexander succeeds but rules only between Forth and Spey, his youngest brother David rules south of Forth. Alexander marries King Henry's daughter Sibylla, and his sister Maud becomes his new wife.

*This differs from the following info: Malcolm's daughter Edith (renamed Matilda) married Henry I of England, and another daughter was mother to the wife of King Stephen of England.

MARGARET OF SCOTLAND, SAINT (b. c. 1045, probably Hungary--d. Nov. 16, 1093, Edinburgh; canonized 1250; feast day November 16, Scottish feast day June 16), queen consort of Malcolm III Canmore and patroness of Scotland.

Margaret was brought up at the Hungarian court, where her father, Edward, was in exile. After the Battle of Hastings, Edward's widow and children fled for safety to Scotland. Her brother Edgar the Aetheling, defeated

366 claimant to the English throne, joined her there. In spite of her leanings toward a religious life, Margaret married (c. 1070) Malcolm III Canmore, king of Scotland from 1057 or 1058 to 1093. Through her influence over her husband and his court, she promoted, in conformity with the Gregorian reform, the interests of the church and of the English population conquered by the Scots in the previous century. She died shortly after her husband was slain near Alnwick, Northumberland. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97][Master File.ftw]

Ten years later she was in exile after William defeated Harold at the Battle of Hastings. She fled to Scotland where she was married against her wishes to King Malcolm to whom she bore six sons and two daughters. Her unlerned and boorish husband grew daily more graceful and Christian under the queen's graceful influence. She brought Norman French, their customs and culture, to Scotland. She forced English practice on scottish clergy, supported by Malcolm, offending the Celtic north and creating a schism that would remain for many years. Her remains were removed to Escorial Spain and her head Douai, France. d. 1093, queen consort of Malcolm III and sister of Edgar Atheling. She was married to Malcolm c.1070. A deeply religious woman, she worked to replace the Celtic practices of the Scottish church with those of Rome. She did this partly by bringing many English priests into Scotland and founding new monasteries. She was generous to the poor and led a life of extraordinary piety. She was canonized in 1250.

Children of Malcolm* Scotland and St Scotland are: i. David* I King of Scotland, born Abt. 1080 in Scotland; died May 24, 1153 in Carlisle, Cumberland, England; married Maud.

Notes for David* I King of Scotland: [jweber3.FTW]

David I (b. c. 1082--d. May 24, 1153, Carlisle, Cumberland, Eng.), one of the most powerful Scottish kings (reigned from 1124). He admitted into Scotland an Anglo-French (Norman) aristocracy that played a major part in the later history of the kingdom. He also reorganized Scottish Christianity to conform with continental European and English usages and founded many religious communities, mostly for Cistercian monks and Augustinian canons.

The youngest of the six sons of the Scottish king Malcolm III Canmore and Queen Margaret (afterward 367 St. Margaret), David spent much of his early life at the court of his brother-in-law King Henry I of England. Through David's marriage (1113) to a daughter of Waltheof, earl of Northumbria, he acquired the English earldom of Huntingdon and obtained much land in that county and in Northamptonshire. With Anglo-Norman help, David secured from his brother Alexander I, king of Scots from 1107, the right to rule Cumbria, Strathclyde, and part of Lothian. In April 1124, on the death of Alexander, David became king of Scots.

David recognized his niece, the Holy Roman empress Matilda (died 1167), as heir to Henry I in England, and from 1136 he fought for her against King Stephen (crowned as Henry's successor in December 1135), hoping thereby to gain Northumberland for himself. A brief peace made with Stephen in 1136 resulted in the cession of Cumberland to David and the transfer of Huntingdon to his son Earl Henry. David, however, continued to switch sides. While fighting for Matilda again, he was defeated in the Battle of the Standard, near Northallerton, Yorkshire (Aug. 22, 1138). He then made peace once more with Stephen, who in 1139 granted Northumberland (as an English fief) to Earl Henry. In 1141 David reentered the war on Matilda's behalf, and in 1149 he knighted her son Henry Plantagenet (afterward King Henry II of England), who acknowledged David's right to Northumberland.

In Scotland, David created a rudimentary central administration, issued the first Scottish royal coinage, and built or rebuilt the castles around which grew the first Scottish burghs: Edinburgh, Stirling, Berwick, Roxburgh, and perhaps Perth. As ruler of Cumbria he had taken Anglo-Normans into his service, and during his kingship many others settled in Scotland, founding important families and intermarrying with the older Scottish aristocracy. Bruce, Stewart, Comyn, and Oliphant are among the noted names whose bearers went from northern France to England during the Norman Conquest in 1066 and then to Scotland in the reign of David I. To these and other French-speaking immigrants, David granted land in return for specified military service or contributions of money, as had been done in England from the time of the Conquest.

Upon the death of Simon de St. Liz, Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton, David, son of Malcolm III, King of Scotland, had m. the deceased earl's widow, the Countess Maud, under the especial sanction of King Henry I. This nobleman succeeded to the Scottish throne on the decease of Alexander, his elder brother, in 1124, and, invading England, was met upon the border by King Stephen, when their differences were amicable adjusted.

------on the history of the Earldom of Huntingdon:

After Earl Simon's [Matilda's 1st husband] death, his Widow married David I of Scotland, who consequently became Earl of Huntingdon too, keeping the Earldom even after he succeeded his brother as King of Scots. He sided with the Empress Maud against Stephen I but came to terms with the latter and made the Earldom over to his son Henry. [Burke's Peerage]

EARLDOM OF NORTHAMPTON III. 2. EARLDOM OF HUNTINGDON

III. 3. DAVID I of Scotland, 6th and youngest son of MALCOLM III (Canmore), KING OF SCOTLAND (died 1093), by St. Margaret, only sister of Edgar ATHELING, was born about 1080. In consequence of his marriage he became EARL OF HUNTINGDON, and possibly of NORTHAMPTON also. In 1113 he founded an Abbey at Selkirk, afterwards removed to Kelso, and gave it (then or a little later) land at Hardingstone and Northampton. His charter, some years later in date, was witnesscd. by Maud his wife and their son Henry. He founded another Abbey at Jedworth in 1118. As Earl of Huntingdon he made various grants to St. Andrew's, Northampton. He succeeded his brother, Alexander I, as King of Scotland 25 April 1124. He retained his English earldom, and on account of it joined in 1127 in the Barons' recognition of the right of the Empress Maud to succeed her father on the throne of England. When, therefore, Stephen seized the crown, David took arms against him, but peace was made about March 1136, David resigning the Earldom of Huntingdon in favour of his son Henry, who did

368 homage to Stephen. War breaking out again, David was defeated at the Battle of the Standard, 22 August 1138. He married, in 1113, Maud, widow of Simon DE ST. LIZ, EARL OF HUNTINGDON. She died in 1130 or 1131, and was buried at Scone. He died 24 May 1153, at Carlisle, and was buried at Dunfermline. [CP 6:641-2]

The Scots Peerage, vol I, page 3 has:

"DAVID I. 'the Saint', youngest son of Malcolm Ceannmor; born about 1080; married about 1113-14 Matilda, daughter and heir of Waltheof, earl of Huntingdon, granddaughter of Siward, Earl of Northumberland, and widow of Simon de St Liz. He died at Carlisle 24 May 1153, aged about seventy-three, and was buried at Dunfermline. His wife Matilda, according to Fordun, died 1130-31, and was buried at Scone; but she appears in a charter c. 1147. By her he had "1. Malcolm, said to have been strangled when a child by Donald Bane."

Fulk of Anjou, plunderer, murderer, robber, and swearer of fale oaths, a truly terrifying character of fiendish cruelty, founded not one but two large abbeys. This Fulk was filled with unbridled passion, a temper directed to extremes. Whenever he had the slightest difference with a neighbor he rushed upon his lands, ravaging, pillaging, raping, and killing; nothing could stop him, least of all the commandments of God. This appalling man had countless crimes upon his conscience, but when seized with a fit of remorse he abandoned himself to incredible penances. Thus the very tomb of St. Martin, whose monks he had ill-treated, saw him prostrate, with bare feet and in penitent's dress; and four times during his life he went to Jerusalem as a devout pilgrim, treading half-naked the sorrowful road of the passion while two of his servants flogged him until the blood flowed, crying, "Lord, receive thy perjured Fulk!"

Notes for Lady Godiva Countess Of Mercia: [Master File.ftw]

371 LADY GODIVA About the year 1028, a wealthy widow named Godgifu, "gift of God", or Godiva (there are 17 different spellings of her name), believing herself to be on her deathbed, bequeathed her considerable property to the monastery at Ely, England. But she recovered and a decade or so later remarried, soon interesting her new husband, Leofric, the earl of Mercia, in her charitable donations. Leofric and Godiva moved to Coventry in Warwickshire from Shrewsbury, Shropshire where

Leofric had earned his fortune in the mutton trade. In 1043 the earl and his lady founded a Benedictine monastery at Coventry on the site of the present-day bombed-out ruin of Coventry Cathedral and nearby new Coventry Cathedral which was built by German students after World War II. On October 4, the monastery (or abbey) which was named in honor of St. Eunice of Saxmundham and was dedicated to St. Peter, St. Osburg, All Saints, and the Virgin Mary, to whom Godiva was particularly devoted. Her later gifts of gold and gems made the monastery chapel one of the richest in England. After the earl's death, Lady Godiva continued her patronage of at least half a dozen more monasteries. Yet, it is not for such good works that Lady Godiva is remembered, but rather for her legendary ride through Coventry in the nude. The people of Coventry, as most subjects of Edward the Confessor in England, were suffering from the burden of high taxes. But their pleas for relief went unheeded by Leofric, who had his own obligations to meet and who was not above passing them on to the citizenry. Instead of mercy, Coventry's inhabitants

372 received notice of a tax increase. To meet it they would have to impoverish themselves. Filled with compassion for the desperate people, Lady Godiva approached her husband - as she had on earlier occasions - to ask that he suspend the onerous levies. Perhaps angered at her persistence, and wishing to put an end to her tiresome requests, the earl made an outlandish proposal. "Mount your horse naked," he said to his wife, "and pass through the market of the town, from one end to the other, when the people are assembled." On her return from the ride, he promised, Godiva would be granted her wish and the townspeople would be spared the burdensome taxes. Leofric expected his wife to withdraw in shock and embarrassment. Instead, to his astonishment, she agreed. The following day, completely unclothed , Godiva mounted a charger and rode through the marketplace. She was accompanied by two female servants also on horseback, though fully dressed. As for Leofric's taxes, the humbled earl rewarded his wife's act of compassion by lifting all tolls on Coventry except those for keeping horses. As late at the 17th century, the town was still boasting of such a tax-exempt status.

373 Robert I (Robert the Magnificent), d. 1035, duke of Normandy (1027-35); father of William the Conqueror. He is often identified with the legendary Robert the Devil. He aided King Henry I of France against Henry's rebellious brother and mother, intervened in the affairs of Flanders, and supported Edward the Confessor, then in exile at Robert's court. He also sponsored monastic reform in Normandy. After making his illegitimate son William his heir, he made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and died at Nicaea. Robert the Devil, hero of a medieval legend. He was sold to the devil by his mother before his birth but upon discovering the fact did penance and was able to purify himself of his many sins. The tale may have been derived from the life of Robert I, duke of Normandy. The story exists in several French and English versions and is the basis of Meyerbeer's opera Robert le Diable.

1st? Earl Leicester; Count of Meulan, in the Vexin-Francais, Sire de Beaumont, Pont-Audemer, and Brionne, in Normandy

EARLDOM OF LEICESTER

I. 1. ROBERT DE BEAUMONT, SEIGNEUR OF BEAUMONT, PONT-AUDEMER, BRIONNE AND VATTEVILLE in Normandy, and from 1081 COUNT OF MEULAN in the French Vexin, son and heir, born circa 1046. When very young he accompanied Duke William to England and distinguished himself at the battle of Hastings, and received large grants of lands in co. Warwick, with smaller holdings in cos. Leicester, Northants, and Wilts. On 14 July 080, as Robert de Bellomonte, he witnessed the foundation charter of Lessay, and next year he inherited from his mother's family the comté of Meulan. Thereafter he is continuously styled Count (Comes) of Meulan. After the death of the Conqueror he adhered to William Rufus, and was high in favour at his court. He quarrelled with Robert of Normandy about the castellanship of Brionne, in consequence of the exchange of Brionne for Ivry made by his father. He was imprisoned, but was released at the intercession of his father Roger, who eventually succeeded in obtaining Brionne in fee. He succeeded to the greater part of his father's lands in Normandy, including Beaumont, Pont-Audemer, Vatteville and Brionne. This paternal inheritance, added to his French comté and his great possessions in cos. Warwick and Leicester, made him one of the most powerful vassals of the Crown. He became one of the chief lay ministers of William Rufus, with whom he sided against Robert Courtheuse in 1098, and when William invaded the French Vexin in 1097 he received his troops in his fortresses of the comté of Meulan. After the death of William Rufus he became one of the chief advisers of Henry I. On the death of Ives de Grandmesnil on Crusade, Robert retained his estates, which Ives had mortgaged to him circa 1102. Thereby he acquired one-quarter of the town of Leicester, the whole of which was later granted to him by the King. Robert thus added largely to his already vast possessions. In 1104 he was one of the Norman barons who adhered to Henry on his arrival in Normandy. He was present in the King's army at Tenchebrai, 28 September 1106. In 1110 he was besieged at Meulan by Louis VI, who took the castle by storm, but in the following year he retaliated by a raid on Paris, which he plundered. After obtaining the whole town of Leicester he is said to have become EARL OF LEICESTER, but, being already Count of Meulan, was never so styled. There is no contemporary record that'he had the third penny of the pleas of the county, but he doubtless acquired, with the Grandmesnil fief, the third penny of the issues of the Mint at Leicester. He married, in 1096, Isabel, called also Elizabeth, daughter of Hugh DE CREPl, called Hug "le Grand," COUNT OF VERMANDOIS. He died 5 June 1118, and was buried with his ancestors in the chapter house of Préaux. His widow married, very shortly after his death, William (DE WARINNE), EARL OF SURREY.

From: "Earldoms In Fee"

EARLDOM of LEICESTER

Robert de Beaumont, heir of a prominent Norman Family, was with the Conqueror at Hastings and received large grants of land in Warwickshire, and to a lesser extent in the county of Leicester and elsewhere. In the year 1081 he inherited through his mother the Comte' of Meulan (Mellent) and became generally known as Count of Meulan. Succeeding later to his father's large inheritance in Normandy, he became one of the wealthiest vassals of the Crown, both in England and in Normandy. He took the side of William II and later, with his brother, was prominent in securing Henry's accession. He was greatly trusted by that King.

Ivo de Grandmesnil, who had been a strong supporter of Robert of Normandy when the latter invaded England at the instigation of his partisians in the baronage, was the holder of a considerable fief in the county of Leicester and also had a quarter interest in the revenues of the borough. Grandmesnil's confiscated Leicester interests, after peacehad been made between Henry and Duke Robert, were given in custody to Robert de Beaumont. Ivo then agreed to mortgage these interests to Robert de Beaumont provided the latter would use his influence with the King for Ivo's rehabilitation and would in the meantime provide Ivo with funds to go on Crusade. The King was adroitly persuaded by Robert of Mellent not only to grant him Ivo's Leicester interest (at the King's disposition as a result of Ivo's part in rebellion), but to give him also the royal interest in the rest of the Leicester borough farm. Robert is said then to have become Earl of Leicester. There is no comtemporary record of his creation or of any use of this title, and doubt has accordingly been expressed about the existance of his earldom at this date. (In charters Robert was described as Comte de Meulan, but never as Earl of Leicester). The possession by Robert of the earldom can, however, be reasonably inferred from the events immediately following his death. He died on 5 June 1118 and was buried with his ancestors at Preaux, leaving three sons, Waleran and Robert (twins) and Hugh, who is said later to have been made Earl of Bedford. If so he was deprived almost at once. (Hugh of Bedford was the weakling of a strong family. Promise of creation is more likely than actual girding and putting in possession. In any event it would be lost with the fief in 1141). As so frequently happened on the death of a great tenant-in- chief during the first century after the Conquest, the Norman and french fiefs and the English fiefs were separated. The former went to the elder twin Waleran, who was thenceforth styled Count of Meulan, while the latter went to Robert, the younger twin. Robert is found styling himself Earl of Leicester as early as 1119. He was at that time only about fifteen years of age, so that he was either created an earl at a very tender age immediately after his father's death (which is unlikely), or was regarded as succeeding his father in the earldom (which is probable) as well as in the English lands.

Notes for Richard de Lucy, Justiciar of England: [jweber3.FTW]

The first mention of this family is in a render made by King Henry I of the lordship of Dice, in Norfolk (whether in requital of services, or as an inheritance, the record saith not) to Richard de Lucie, who was governor of Falais, in Normandy, temp. King Stephen, and defended that place with great valour when besieged by Geoffrey, Earl of Anjou, for which heroic conduct he had a grant of lands in the county of Essex with the services of divers persons, to hold by ten knights' fees. In the subsequent contest between Stephen and the Empress Maud, he remained steady in his allegiance to the former and obtained a victory of some importance near Wallingford Castle. Upon the adjustment of the dispute, the Tower of London and the castle of Winchester were, by the advice of the whole clergy, placed in the hands of this feudal lord, he binding himself by solemn oath and the hostage of his son to deliver them up on the death of King Stephen to King Henry, which, being eventually fulfilled, Richard de Lucy was constituted sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire in the 2nd of Henry II, A.D. 1156, and in three years afterwards, being with the king in Normandy, he was despatched to England to procure the election of Thomas à Becket, then lord chancellor, to the archiepiscopal see of Canterbury, vacant by the death of Theobald, Abbot of Becco. Soon after that he was appointed to the high office of Justice of England. In the 12th of this reign [1166], upon the aid then assessed for marrying the king's dau., he certified his knights' fees (lying in the cos. of Kent, Suffolk, and Norfolk) de veteri feoffamento, to be in number seven, and that his ancestors performed the service of Castle Guard at Dover, for the same, as also that he held on knight's fee more, de nova feoffamento, in the co. Devon.

About this time Becket, having fled into Normandy from the power of King Henry, came to Wiceliac to celebrate the feast of the ascension, and observing several persons of distinction present, amongst whom was this Richard de Lucie, he ascended the pulpit and there, with lighted candles, pronounced the sentence of excommunication against them all as public incendiaries betwixt the king and himself, but being neither convicted nor called to answer, they appealed and entered the church. Soon after this (13th Henry II) during a temporary absence of the king beyond sea, de Lucie was constituted Lieutenant of England, and again in 1173, when the Earl of Leicester and others having reared the standard of rebellion in behalf of Prince Henry, he besieged, in conjunction with Reginald, Earl of Cornwall, the town of Leicester and, having reduced it, demolished its walls and laid it in ashes. In 1178, he founded the priory of Westwode in the diocese of Rochester in honour of St. Thomas, of Canterbury, the martyr, and began, about the same time, the foundation of the priory of Lesnes, in Kent, which he munificently endowed. In this priory he subsequently assumed the habit of a canon regular and departing this life soon after (about 22nd Henry II) [1176], and was buried in the chapter-house there.

He m. Rohais ---, and had issue, Geffrey, who d. in his father's lifetime, leaving Richard, his son and heir, who departing this life, s. p., before 1196, the inheritance devolved upon his aunt, Rohais; Hubert, who had the lordship of Stanford, in Essex, and hundred of Angre, for his livelihood, but d. s. p.; Maude, m. 1st to Walter Fitz- Robert, to whom she brought the lordship or Dice, and 2ndly, to Richard de Ripariis, and d. 27th Henry III, 1243, leaving issue; Rohais, m. 1st, to Fulbert de Dover, Lord of Chilham, in Kent, and 2ndly, Richard de Chilham. This Rohais, upon the decease of her nephew, succeeded to the estates of her elder brother and, upon the death of her younger brother, Hubert, she had livery of the whole barony on paying a fine to the crown in the 9th King John [1208].

Notes for Alice de Lucy: [jweber3.FTW]

In attempting to learn who Alice's parents were, I have found one record on Automated Family pedigrees #1, Automated Archives, Inc., CD100, that says she was the daughter of Richard de Lucy and Rose. There is also a Richard de Lucy who m. Roesia on the same CD. Sir Bernard Burke [Dormant and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 336, Lucy, Barons Lucy], regarding issue of Richard de Lucy and Rohais (Roesia on CD 100) names only two daughters of this couple, Maude who m. 1st Walter FitzRobert, and 2ndly, Richard de Ripariis; and Rohais who m. 1st, Fulbert de Dovor, and 2ndly, Richard de Chilham. In that same work, under Umfravill, Burke does not list this Odinel nor a wife Alice de Lucy.

John Burke, in History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. I, R. Bentley, London, 1834- 1838, p. 214, Senhouse, of Nether Hall, states, "William de Sevenhouse m. a daughter and co-heir of Lucy. Amongst the archives of the family of Senhouse is still preserved a deed of conveyance from Alice de Lucy, daughter and co-heir of Richard de Lucy, of Egremont, by Ada de Morville, his wife, to her second son, Sir John de Lucy, high sheriff of the county of Cumberland for two years, 31st Edward I [1303], and knight of the shire for the same county 34th of the same reign [1306], from whom, by his wife, Christian, descended the wife of this William Sevenhouse." It is obvious this Alice is not the daughter of Richard of Egremont and Ada de Morville. They had two daughters, Annabell (Mabel) and Alice, who both married brothers, Lambert and Alan de Multon, respectively, and that Alice had only one son, Thomas de Multon, known as Thomas de Lucie, and he m. Isabel de Bolteby. Furthermore, this Alice, born about 1144, could not have had a son who was living in the early 1300s.

Notes for King of Scotland Duncan* MacCrinan: [Master File.ftw]

[john gray.FTW]

Duncan succeeds his grandfather and uncle as ruler of Pictish, Scottish, Anglo, and Briton lands, and further pushes into England in 1034. He is killed by MacBeth, the Mormaer (high official) of Moray, who claims the throne through his and his wife's ancestry. Macbeth seems to have been a good king and went on pilgramage to Rome in 1050.[jweber3.FTW]

Duncan I (d. Aug. 1, 1040, near Elgin, Moray, Scot.), king of the Scots from 1034 to 1040. Duncan was the grandson of King Malcolm II (ruled 1005-34), who irregularly made him ruler of Strathclyde when that region was absorbed into the Scottish kingdom (probably shortly before 1034). Malcolm violated the established system of succession whereby the kingship alternated between two branches of the royal family. Upon Malcolm's death, Duncan succeeded peacefully, but he soon faced the rivalry of Macbeth, Mormaor (subking) of Moray, who probably had a better claim to the throne. Duncan besieged Durham unsuccessfully in 1039 and in the following year was murdered by Macbeth. Duncan's elder son later killed Macbeth and ruled as King Malcolm III Canmore (1058-93).

Plantagenet Ancestry has Sibyl daughter of Sigurd, but I think it more likely she was his sister. The dates just seem entirely incompatible with her being born that late.

Notes for King Edward* Atheling: Edward the Exile (Outlaw) (Atheling) fled the country and lived at the court of Hungary until recalled by his father's half-brother, Edward the Confessor. He was never crowned king, as he died in London immediately after his return in 1057, and was buried at St. Paul's Cathedral. While on the continent, he married Agatha of Hungary, daughter of Emperor Henry II. of Germany (Bruno of Germany). Edward was the founder of the House of Burgoyne. ------While on the continent (probably in Russia) he married Agatha, called by some sources niece of Emperor Henry (whether this was Henry II or Henry II is not specified in the original source), but by others kinswoman of the King of Hungary. Various modern interpretations include that she was daughter of St. Stephen of Hungary (by Gisela, sister of Emp. Henry II), that she was daughter of Bruno of Augsburg (brother of Henry II), that she was daughter of Liudolph of Brunswick (half-brother of Henry III), or that she was daughter of Yaroslav I of Russia (and hence sister-in-law of Andrew, King of Hungary). The first two can be readily dismissed. The latter two are still being hotly contested.

This is not true. There are no documented male descendants beyond his son, or perhaps a grandson, while a female line from his son that was argued by Manteyer seems to have lost favor. The only commonly accepted descent from Edward is through Margaret, wife of Malcolm. If by House of Burgoyne you mean Burgundy, one of these was descended from the Capets and the other from King Berenger II of Italy. "the Outlaw" Some say he married Agatha daughter of Stephen, and some say Agatha was the daughter of Henry II of Germany. Stephen is accepted as being incorrect, and other more complex relationships have been postulated. One has been shown here which is attributed to David Boles Also called Edward the Exile. See also articles by Rene Jette NEHGR 150, 96 and Szabolcs de Vajay in Duquesne Review 7.

Notes for Seigneur Roger* De Pont-Audemer De Beaumont: [Master File.ftw]

ROGER DE BEAUMONT (de Bello Monte), SEIGNEUR of BEAUMONT AND PONT-AUDEMER, was eldest son of Humphrey. He appears to have remained faithful to the young Duke William during the disturbances of the earlier part of his reign, in the course of which he defeated and slew Roger de Tosny. He is said to have furnished 60 ships for the invasion of England. He did not accompany the expedition, but remained in Normandy as the principal adviser of the Duchess Maud, to whom the government of the duchy was entrusted. In 1071 the King committed Morcar as a prisoner to his custody. Up to the year 1082 he constantly appears as a witness to the charters of William the Conqueror. At the -time of the Domesday Survey, 1086, he held land in Dorset and co. Gloucester. About 1088 he founded the collegiate church of the Holy Trinity at Beaumont-le-Roger for canons of St. Frideswide of Oxford. He was a benefactor of St. Pierre-de-Préaux and of St. Wandrille. He married Adeline, sistcr of Hugh and daughter of Waleran, COUNTS OF MEULAN. Shortly after 1090 Roger became a monk at the Abbey of Préaux. He died some years later, and was buried there with his father. [CP 7:522-3]

"ROGER DE BEAUMONT, SIRE DE PONTEAUDEMER, born about 1010, succeeded to the family estates in Normandy, as Sire du Ponteaudemer, Seigneur de Veulles, Preaux, Torville, and du Ponteaitorf, and Seigneur de Beaumont (or Bellomont), by which last name he came to be generally described. By his marriage he greatly increased the possessions and prestige of the family, and he rose to be one of the most powerful feudal noblemen of his age in Normandy. When William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066, Roger de Beaumont furnished sixty armed vessels for the fleet and was left in charge of the government of Normandy when the Conqueror started on the expedition. He munificently endowed the Abbey of Préaux, of which late in life he became a monk; and dying in 1094 at advanced age, he was buried in this monastery at Ponteaudemer, Normandy." --- J Gardner Bartlett, *Newberry Genealogy*, Boston, 1914, p 4-5.

Notes for King of Scotland Malcolm* III Canmore King of Scotland: [jweber3.FTW]

Malcolm III CANMORE (b. c. 1031--d. Nov. 13, 1093, near Alnwick, Northumberland, Eng.), king of Scotland from 1058 to 1093, founder of the dynasty that consolidated royal power in the Scottish kingdom.

The son of King Duncan I (reigned 1034-40), Malcolm lived in exile in England during part of the reign of his father's murderer, Macbeth (reigned 1040-57). Malcolm killed Macbeth in battle in 1057 and then ascended the throne. After the conquest of England by William the Conqueror, in 1066, Malcolm gave refuge to the Anglo- Saxon prince Edgar the Aetheling and his sisters, one of whom, Margaret (later St. Margaret), became his second wife.

Malcolm acknowledged the overlordship of William in 1072 but nevertheless soon violated his feudal obligations and made five raids into England. During the last of these invasions he was killed by the forces of King William II Rufus (reigned 1087-1100). Except for a brief interval after Malcolm's death, the Scottish throne remained in his family until the death of Queen Margaret, the Maid of Norway, in 1290. Of Malcolm's six sons by Margaret, three succeeded to the throne: Edgar (reigned 1097-1107), Alexander I (1107-24), and David I (1124-53). [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]

According to Brian Tompsett, "interred at Escorial, Madrid, Spain."

Malcolm III built Kindrochit Castle, Braemar, Aberdeenshire between 1057-1093. http://www.darkisle.com/k/kindrochit/kindrochit.html Photo of Kindrochit Castle[Master File.ftw]

Some say died 1098. Slew Macbeth 1057. King of Strathclyde. "Big Head"

(Malcolm Canmore), d. 1093, king of Scotland (1057-93), son of Duncan I; successor to Macbeth (d. 1057). He was raised in England. It took him some years after Macbeth's death to regain the boundaries of his father's kingdom. About 1068, Edgar Atheling, pretender to the English throne, took refuge with Malcolm, who soon married Edgar's sister Margaret (see Margaret of Scotland, Saint). On behalf of Edgar, Malcolm invaded N England, but in 1072 William I of England invaded Scotland, and Malcolm was forced to pay homage at Abernathy. In the reign of William II, Edgar joined Malcolm in his raid into England in 1091, but William forced both men to submit and to do homage. Malcolm was killed at Alnwick, ambushed by a Norman friend while on still another raid into England. His frequent wars insured the independence of his kingdom, which made possible the great ecclesiastical reorganization initiated by his wife, Margaret. Queen Margaret died 3 days after Malcolm, and Scotland was throne into chaos. Malcolm was succeeded briefly by his brother Donald Bane. Raised in the Hebrides by Norse, he overthrew Norman feudalism for Viking policy. Duncan II, Malcolm's oldest son, had been held hostage by William Rufus, son of William the Conqueror. He was sent with Rufus's support to overthrow Donald, and succeeded (reigned 1093-94), but was murdered in return and Donald was recrowned in 1094. Edgar, Donald's half brother, is sent to take on Donald, again with the support of an Anglo Norman army, and chases him out in 1097. (reigned 1097-1107) He makes peace with Magnus Barelegs, King of Norway, ceding him the Hebrides which he in fact had been ruling for many years. Upon Edgar's death in 1107, his brother Alexander succeeds but rules only between Forth and Spey, his youngest brother David rules south of Forth. Alexander marries King Henry's daughter Sibylla, and his sister Maud becomes his new wife.

*This differs from the following info: Malcolm's daughter Edith (renamed Matilda) married Henry I of England, and another daughter was mother to the wife of King Stephen of England.

Notes for Gospatric I Earl of Northumbria Mormaer Dunbar: [jweber3.FTW]

Gospatric; installed 1068/9 by William I the Conqueror as Earl, then predominantly an administrative post after his payment of a heavy fine or what would now be thought of as an entrance fee (though his hereditary claim through his maternal grandfather also played a part). Later (Oct or Nov 1072) deprived of the Earldom on a charge of having taken part in a massacre at Durham; fled to Scotland, where his cousin Malcolm III of Scotland granted him the Mormaership of Dunbar. [Burke's Peerage]

A subsequent Earl of Nothumberland was Gospatric, son and heir of Maldred, who in turn was son of Crinan, Lay Abbot of Dunkeld in what is now Perthshire. Gospatric held the Earldom from c Feb 1068/9 to 1072. Gospatric had a hereditary claim to the office of Earl of Northumberland, as did several of his successors. Disloyalty or incompetence in governing could lead to an Earls being deprived of his position, however, and when Gospatric rebelled he was ejected.

Notes for 3rd Earl of Chester Ranulph* de Meschines: [jweber3.FTW]

Ranulf or Randle de Meschines, surnamed de Bricasard, Viscount Bayeux, in Normandy, (son of Ralph de Meschines, by Maud, his wife, co-heir of her brother, Hugh Lupus, the celebrated Earl of Chester), was given by King Henry I the Earldom of Chester, at the decease of his 1st cousin, Richard de Abrincis, 2nd Earl of Chester, of that family, without issue. By some historians, this nobleman is styled Earl of Carlisle, from residing in that city; and they further state that he came over in the train of the Conqueror, assisted in the subjugation of England, and shared, of course, in the spoil of conquest. He was lord of Cumberland and Carlisle, by descent from his father, but having enfeoffed his two brothers, William, of Coupland, and Geffrey, of Gillesland, in a large portion thereof, he exchanged the Earldom of Cumberland for that of Chester, on condition that those whom he had settled there should hold their lands of the king, in capite. His lordship m. Lucia, widow of Roger de Romara, Earl of Lincoln, and dau. of Algar, the Saxon, Earl of Mercia, and had issue, Ranulph, his successor; William, styled Earl of Cambridge, but of his issue nothing in known; Adeliza, m. to Richard Fitz-Gilbert, ancestor of the old Earls of Clare; and Agnes, m. to Robert de Grentemaisnil.

Amongst the most eminent Normal families in the train of the Conqueror was that of Beauchamp, and amongst those that shared most liberally in the spoils of the conquest was Hugh de Beauchamp, the companion in arms of the victorious Norman, who obtained grants to a very great extent from his triumphant chief, as he appears at the general survey to be possessed of large estates in Hertford, Buckingham, and Bedfordshires, was the founder of this illustrious house in England. This Hugh had issue, Simon, who d. s. p.; Payne, ancestor of the Beauchamps of Bedford, that barony having been conferred upon him by William Rufus; Walter, but some doubts have been thrown upon the question of his having been son of Hugh, Sir H Nicholas stating him to have been "supposed of the same family"; Milo, of Eaton, co.

Notes for King Edmund* Wessex:

Known as "Ironsides." Succeeded his father in April 1016. In this year he fought six battles, but through treachery he was completely overthrown at Assandun, in Essex. He and Canute the Dane agreed to divide the kingdom. He was chosen king of England by the Londoners on his father's death, April, 1016, while Canute was elected at Southampton by the Witan. Edmund hastily levied an army in the west, defeated Canute twice, raised the siege of London, and again routed the Danes. Levying a fresh army, he defeated them at Otford, his last victory. At Ashingdon in Essex, after a desperate fight, he was routed. By compromise with Canute, the latter retained Mercia and Northumbria, Edmund all the south and the headship, the survivor to succeed to the whole. A few weeks later Edmund died, in 1016, and Canute became King of England without a rival. It is said that the traitorous Edric Streona perhaps murdered Edmund on November 30, 1016, shortly after peace was made. Buried in Glastonbury, England.

In 1073 we find him joined under the designation of Ricardus de Benefacta, with William de Warren, in the great office of Justiciary of England, with whom, in three years afterwards, he was in arms against the rebellious lords Robert de Britolio, Earl of Hereford, and Ralph Waher, or Guarder, Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk, and behaved with great gallantry. But afterwards, at the time of the General Survey, which was towards the close of William's reign, he is called Ricardus de Tonebruge, from his seat at Tonebruge (now Tunbridge) in Kent, which town and castle he obtained from the archbishop of Canterbury in lieu of the castle of Brion, at which time he enjoyed thirty-eight lordships in Surrey, thirty-five in Essex, three in Cambridgeshire, with some others in Wilts and Devon, and ninety-five in Suffolk, amongst those was Clare, whence he was occasionally styled Richard de Clare, and that place in a few years afterwards becoming the chief seat of the family, his descendants are said to have assumed thereupon the title of Earls of Clare. This great feudal lord m. Rohese, dau. of Walter Giffard, Earl of Buckingham, and had issue, Gilbert, his successor, Roger, Walter, Richard, Robert, a dau. m. to Ralph de Telgers, and a dau. mo. to Eudo Dapifer. Richard de Tonebruge, or de Clare, whose is said to have fallen in a skirmish with the Welsh, was s. by his eldest son, Gilbert de Tonebruge.

Gilbert de Tonebruge, who resided at Tonebruge and inherited all his father's lands in England, joined in the rebellion of Robert de Mowbray, Earl of Northumberland, but observing the king (William Rufus) upon the point of falling into an ambuscade, he relented, sought pardon, and saved his royal master. We find him subsequently, however, again in rebellion in the same reign and fortifying and losing his castle at Tunbridge. He m. in 1113, Adeliza, dau. of the Earl of Cleremont, and had issue, Richard, his successor, Gilbert, Walter, Hervey, and Baldwin.

Notes for Finn Arnesson, Jarl of Halland: [jweber3.FTW]

According to the medieval historian, Snorri Sturluson, Finn lived for a time at Austratt in the district of Yrjar in western Norway. He had been on several viking expeditions. He was a well-liked steward of King Harald Sigurtharson in Norway. The king had Finn intercede for him and make reconciliation with his enemies who were angered about some slayings. In one reconciliation attempt, an enemy by the name of Hkon agreed to be reconciled to the king if he was given Ragnhild, a relative of the king, in marriage. The king agreed, but said, "Neither you nor any else will find it advisable to obtain Ragnhild in marriage unless it be with her own consent." Ragnhild did not want to marry a man who was not of princely rank. The king would have granted the title of earl to Hkon, but there was a long-standing practice of having just one earl at a time, and he did not want to take the title away from the current Earl Orm. (Later after Earl Orm died, Hkon was given the title and Ragnhild married him.) Some other events and the death of Finn's brother caused Finn to be so angered at the king that he left Norway. He joined with King Svein in Denmark, and was given the title of earl and ruled the province of Halland, where he was in charge of defense against the Norwegians.

Notes for Rabel* De Tancarville: [Master File.ftw]

This personal name is uncommon, and, it seems probable, was of Norse derivation. He is mentioned as commemorated by the name of Rebel's Isle and Rabel's Fos. As tancarville lies on the River Seine, it is to be supposed that the Isle was in the Seine. A foxx or fosse is a moat or intrenchment, perhaps built for the added protection of the Castle at Tancarville. Rabel's Foss may have been the moat lying before the donjon of the Castle, the ruins of which donjon were there so late as 1930, when they were described as having been entered, in olden times, by a bridge

Poppa de Valois, born 875 in Evreux, Normandy, France; died 959.

Notes for Duke of Normandy Rollo* Rognvaldsson: [Master File.ftw]

Rollo the Dane, 1st Duke of Normandy. The Normans, Men of the North, were a mixed nation of the fiercest Norwegians, Swedes and Danes, and became settled in Neustria in France at the beginning of the 10th Century when Charles the Simple, King of France, conferred the Duchy, since called Normandy, on Rollo the Dane, one of the most celebrated of the Norman leaders. This renowed chieftain married 1st Poppae, daughter of Berengarius, Count of Bayeux, 2nd Gisela, daughter of Charles, King of France. By the first wife he left at his death, in 931, two sons and two daughters: William, Robert, Count of Corbell, Crespina and Gerletta

Rollo, also called ROLF, or ROU, French ROLLON (b. c. 860--d. c. 932), Scandinavian rover who founded the duchy of Normandy. Making himself independent of King Harald I of Norway, Rollo sailed off to raid Scotland, England, Flanders, and France on pirating expeditions and, about 911, established himself in an area along the Seine River. Charles III the Simple of France held off his siege of Paris, battled him near Chartres, and negotiated the treaty of Saint- Clair-sur-Epte, giving him the part of Neustria that came to be called Normandy; Rollo in return agreed to end his brigandage. He gave his son, William I Longsword, governance of the dukedom (927) before his death. Rollo was baptized in 912 but is said to have died a pagan. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD, 1997, ROLLO]

Notes for Gorm Del Gammel King of Denmark: [Master File.ftw]

[Masland Family.FTW]

Gorm, the Old, so called from the length of his reign. He married the beautiful Thyra Dannebod (Ornament of Denmark), daughter of Harold Klak. They had twin sons, Knud and Harold, rivals in glory. Knud was the favorite of his father, and had been absent sometime, and the King fearing his death had vowed to kill the one that brought the news of his death. Finally the notice of his death was given and the Queen, not risking to tell it to the King, made all the courtiers observe an unusual silence at the table and had the apartment covered with black. Guessing the reason, Gorm cried out: "Surely Knud, my dear son, is dead as all Denmark is mourning." "Thou sayest so, not I." answered the Queen; upon which the King sickened with grief and died in a good old age, in 941

Notes for Harald Bluetooth Gormsson II King of Denmark: [Master File.ftw]

Harald refused to accept the crown until he had first performed his father's obsequies with all the magnificence becoming his high rank. One of his earliest was the conquest of Norway, which became a province of Denmark. Styrbear, King of Sweden, solicited the aid of King Harold in one of his wars, and to enforce his request he brought along with him Gyntha, his sister, a lady of admirable beauty. The stratagem had the intended effect; Harold Bluetooth became enamored and married her. The progress of Christianity gained some headway during his reign, and the King received baptism, and erected a splendid church. His daughter Gunilda married Richard I, Duke of Normandy.

Generation No. 35

22506635264. Tancred*, born Abt. 890 in Scandanavia.

Notes for Tancred*: [Master File.ftw]

Tancred is the earliest known ancestor of the Washburn family. He may have been born even a little earlier than 890. He is recorded as holding land in Normandy in 912. The Norman lands, divided at this time among the companions of Rollo, were bestowed by him as to free and equal comrades (Tancred included) fellow-victors with him in the conquest of the part of France which commemorates the Norse Vikings, fierce, heathen, ravagers during the ninth and early tenth centuries, who, by 912 decided to become settlers instead of raiders, worshippers of Christ in place of Thor and Woden. The present Normandy, as to its general area, was ceded to Rollo and his companions by Charles the Simple, King of France, in 912. Tancred's original land-holding, in the Latin chronicles called Tancredvilla, passed into Tancarville, also spelled later, Tankerville; and this land-name became a family surname both in Normandy and, after the Norman Conquest of England, there, also. The surnames of the Washburn ancestors were the names of the lands, lordships, fiefs, manors, which they owned or held feudally at different periods. The French Kings' cession of land was balanced by the renunciation of paganism and conversion to the Christian Faith by Rollo and his companions. They were baptized by the Archbishop of Rouen, France. Rollo married the King's daughter, Princess Gisela The Normans had two characteristics of the Roman people in their great period, the logical sense and respect for law. As they had raided and harried, burning and slaying, after their conversion and baptism, and being instructed in a religion of mercy and the law, they speedily became law-abiding and adopted the manner of life of their French wives. These mothers of the next generation impressed their children with the strong piety through history characteristic of the people of Normandy. No record has been found of the wife of Tancred, the Viking, who became Tancred, the Christian feudal lord of the estates named for him, Tancarville. Undoubtedly, she was a Christian Fench woman, and her children and descendants in Normandy were loyal to the Church of Christ and benefactors in charity. In 912 he is recorded as having and owning land in Normandy.

Notes for King Howell Dda Ap Cadell: [Master File.ftw]

412 REF: [email protected] ([email protected], Howell readers group): Present Welsh, English and American Howells derive from the old Welsh family of Abernent in Carmarthenshire, the linage and name deriving from Hywel Dda the King of Wales from 943 to 950. He was grandson of Rhodri Mawr, the Great, who united almost all of ancient Wales under his supremacy. He (Hywel Dda I presume) was married to Ellen, daughter of the last of the Kings of Dyfed. The reign of Howel Dda was remarkable for its peacefulness, and is the only ruler of ancient Wales designated "The Good". He was also the only King ever to issue his own coinage. On a visit to Rome in 928, became a student of jurisprudence, and the code of laws he composed is his lasting claim to fame. Three parts of his code are still found in English Common Law. He was such a wise and just man that he was called "the head and glory of all the Britons." There is a place today in Wales called Crickhowell, which is considered to be either his home and/or pob.

Notes for Ragnar Lodbrock King Of Denmark And Sweden: [Master File.ftw]

The celebrated and heroic warrior Ragnar, so called because he always wore in battle a pair of enchanted breeches, made of a bear skin with the hair outwards. King Reymer Lodbrok having invaded England in 794, was taken prisoner by Aella, King of Northumberland, who put him to death in a most cruel manner, he being thrown

414 into a pit hole full of adders, which stung him to death. When news of his death reached Denmark his five valiant sons were furious. When being told that their father had said, "How the young cubs would rage when they learned of the old bear's fate," they vowed instant revenge. An expedition led by eight crowned heads invaded England. In a battle at York the Anglo-Saxons were entirely routed and King Aella was made prisoner and subjected to the most barbarous treatment. The sons of Lodbrok ordered an eagle to be cut on the fleshy part of his back, the ribs were severed from the spine and the heart and lungs extracted. After this victory Northumbria appears no longer as a Saxon kingdom. Ivor was made King of Northumbria and Danish merchants and people flocked to England. Bjorn, another brother, was made King of Sweden. Gotefrid became King of Jutland. Another son, Sigurd, called the Snake Eye, inherited the Danish crown.

Notes for King Alfred* Wessex: [Master File.ftw]

[john gray.FTW]

Youngest son of King Æthelwulf, Alfred became King of Wessex during a time of constant Viking attack. He was driven into hiding by a Viking raid into Wessex, led by the Dane, Guthorm, and took refuge in the Athelney marshes in Somerset. There, he recovered sufficient strength to be able to defeat the Danes decisively at the Battle of Eddington in 878. As a condition of the peace treaty which followed, Guthorm received Christian baptism and withdrew his forces from Wessex, with Alfred recognizing the Danish control over East Anglia and parts of Mercia. This partition of England, called the "Danelaw", was formalized by another treaty in 886. Alfred created a series of fortifications to surround his kingdom and provide needed security from invasion. The Anglo-Saxon word for these forts, "burhs", has come down to us in the common place-name suffix, "bury." He also constructed a fleet of ships to augment his other defenses, and in so doing became known as the "Father of the English Navy." The reign of Alfred was known for more than military success. He was a codifier of law, a promoter of education and a suppor|er of the arts. He, himself, was a scholar and translated Latin books into the Anglo-Saxon tongue. The definitive contemporary work on Alfred's life is an unfinished account in Latin by Asser, a Welshman, bishop of Sherbourne and Alfred's counsellor. After his death, he was buried in his capital city of Winchester, and is the only English monarch in history to carry the title, "the Great." http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/OMACL/KingAlfred/part1.html

Vikings never seriously invade Wales again

Rhodri Mawr, king of Gwynedd, died in 878. Although he was an important Welsh king, it is not really appropriate to call him the "first King of Wales", for there were large parts of Wales over which he did not rule. Most sources give the name of Rhodri's wife as Angharad, heiress of Ceredigion, and give his mother as Nest, heiress of Powys, but Patrick Sims-Williams [in the article "Historical Need and Literary Narrative: a Caveat from Ninth-Century Wales", Welsh History Review, vol. 17 (1994), pp. 1-40] has recently argued (conclusively, in my opinion) that neither Nest nor Angharad ever existed, and that they were inventions of later genealogists who wanted to give Rhodri's family a line of descent from the earlier kings of Powys and Ceredigion.

Notes for Emperor Louis* I: [Master File.ftw]

Louis I, Le Debonnaire or Gentle, Roman Emperor, 814-840, was born 778, and was son of Charlemagne by his wife Hildegarde. He married Lady Judith, the Fair Maid of Bavaria, and by her had a son who succeded him, Charles II, King of France. He had succeeded his father in 814, but in 817 he yielded to the wishes of his sons and gave each of them a share of his dominions, and thus complications arose from which resulted the dissolution of the Empire. He died 840. By his first wife, Irmingardis, daughter of Ingram, Count of Hasbania in Saxony, he had a daughter Alpaidia.

Called The Pious (778-840), Holy Roman emperor (814-40), king of France (814-40), king of Germany (814-40), and king of Aquitaine (781-840). He was the son of Charlemagne, king of the Franks. In 817 Louis made plans providing for the posthumous division of the Carolingian Empire among his three surviving sons, Lothair I, Holy Roman emperor, Louis II, king of Germany, and Charles II, Holy Roman emperor. His reign, however, was troubled by quarrels with his sons, who were dissatisfied with his arrangements for the succession. Louis was physically strong but was easily influenced and was unequal to administering the large empire that he inherited from his father.

In 781, at age 2, Louis I, "Le Pieux", was crowned and anointed King of Aquitaine by Pope Hadrian I, at the same time as his older brother Pepin was made King of Italy. Louis, whose twin brother had died at birth, was the third of Charlemagne's sons by his wife Hildegard. The Diviso Regni of 806indicates that Louis was to have Aquitaine as an independent kingdom upon his father's death. Aquitaine was in effect a March; for much of Louis' reign as sub-king he and his officials were occupied in quelling Gascon revolts and launching offensives into Spain. Unrest had never completely died out in the Pyrenees since the annexation of Aquitaine in 768, and more especially after the disastrous ambush of the Frankish vanguard in Roncesvalles in 778. In about 788, Chorso, Duke of Toulouse was captured by a Gascon named Adelric, and then released after being forced to swear an oath of allegiance to the Gascon or Basque leader. In 793, the Sarracens invaded Septimania, burned the suburbs of Narbonne and marched on Carcassonne, but in 795 Bahlul-ben-Machluc sued with Louis for peace. In 800, he successfully laid siege to Barcelona and subsequently captured Tortosa, Huesca and Pamplona and formed links with the Kingdom of the Asturias. Baptized: on 15 Apr 781; On 15 April 781, Louis was baptized by Pope Hadrian I in Rome. The next day, Easter Sunday, he was confirmed in his title of King of Aquitaine. Married in

420 794: Ermengarde d'Esbay, daughter of Engueran=Ingram, Count d'Esbay.

Note - between 800 and 837: Louis I established monasteries in Nouaille (a cell of St. Hilaire of Poitiers), Gellone and St. Martin-de-Tours.

After the death of his brothers Pepin and Charles in 810 and 811 respectively, Louis was crowned at Aachen on 13 September 813, Emperor and heir to all of Charlemagne's lands, by Charlemagne himself without any assistance nor even the presence of the Pope. All sources, Frankish as well as papal, refer to Louis as emperor from then on. Charlemagne died 5 months later. All of Louis' sisters were required to quit the palace and retire to their own estates. His cousins, the offsprings of Bernard (Pepin III's half brother) were exhiled: Louis forced Count Wala to become a monk at Corbie; Adalhard was exhiled to Noirmoutier to be held there in custody by the Abbot; Bernhard returned to Lerin and Gundrada had to retreat to St. Radegund's convent of Sainte Croix in Poitiers. Only Theodrada was left unmolested as abbess of Notre Dame at Soissons. Louis I was also known as Louis, "Le Pieux". On 27 February 814, upon learning of the death of his father, and at the age of 36 years, he left Doue-la-Fontaine, in Anjou, to go to Aix-la-Chapelle.

This new emperor, enterred this capital, and poised himself in front of the tomb of Charlemagne. So oversome with grief, his forehead touched the stone floor of the church. Hence the name "Le Pieux". Since he was kind, relative to his times, he was also known as "Le Debonnaire". For himself, he preferred to adopt the title "by divine Providence, Emperor Augustus". When Pope Leo died in May of 816, Stephen IV was elected Pope, and crowned Louis the Emperor on Sunday 5 October by placing a crown on his head during mass at Rheims. He also secured the release of some Roman exhiles in Francia. This crowning was among the first attempts to integrate the Papacy into the institutional framework of the Empire. Louis, 'lest he be led astray in satisfying the natural desires of the body' married Ermengarde, daughter of Count Ingramn. Charlemagne established Doue-la-Fontaine, Chasseneuil (Louis' birthplace), Angeac and Ebreuil as royal residences to maintain Louis and his household. At an assembly in Aachen in July 817, Louis made provisions for his sons' inheritance through the "Ordinatio Imperii". In his preface he states that the unity of the empire preserved for Louis by God should not be destroyed by men. Lothar was given the title of emperor, and as co-ruler with his father at once made heir to the empire, and appointed King of Italy in the event of his father's death. Bernard, then King of Italy was not mentioned, but the implication is that Bernard would be subordinate to Lothar should Louis die. Pepin was made King of Aquitaine (plus Gascony, Toulouse, Carcassonne, Autun, Avallon and Nevers) and Louis, The German, was made King of Bavaria (plus Carinthia, Bohemia, the lands of the Avars and Slavs and the royal manors of Lauterhofen and Ingolstadt). Pepin and Louis were to meet on an annual basis with Lothar to consult and together find "measures to take in the interest of perpetual peace". They could neither start a war nor marry without the approval of their elder brother. Lothar even had the right to de-throne them after three warnings. That same year, 817, Stephen IV obtains his political independence, thus severing the tie between Rome and the Frank Empire as conceived by Charlemagne. The arrangement was neat and all contingencies covered except for the one which took place. After his first wife's (Ermengarde) death, Louis, in 819, married the beautiful Bavarian Judith, daughter of Comte Welf of Bavaria. On 13 June 823 she gave birth to a son. He was called Charles. In September, 824, forgetting his nickname "Le Debonnaire", Louis totally ravages the Bretagne which was rebelling. In 829, at the General Assembly convoked in Worms (Wurm), Louis announces that he is forging a Duchy for his son, Charles, and gives him Alamania, Alsace, Rhetia, and part of Burgundy. The Co-Emperor Lothar, disagrees and has his name removed from imperial decrees and diplomas. Toward the end of 829, the political scene gets very complicated with allegations that Judith had intimate rapports with Bernard, Count of Barcelone, and ultimately desiring the death of the three sons of Hirmingarde. In Mai of 830, in Compiegne, Lothar and Pepin of Aquitaine lead a revolt. Louis is forced to cede on every point of contention. The apanage of the young Charles is eliminated, Judith is locked up in Poitiers at the Monastery of Sainte-Radegonde. In 831, the bishops would note how she had a talent for converting men's hearts and souls, and would allow her to rejoin her husband. In 832, Pepin and Louis revolt against their father. On 24 June 833, the Army of Louis Le Pieux faces those of the rebels. The field of battle in Rothfeld would be named the Field of the Lie (Lugenfeld). The Emperor and his sons begin negotiations. The night of 29 to 30 June, it is clear that the supporters of Louis would be influenced by his three sons. On the morning of 30 June, Louis would have to surrender. It would not be until 1 October that Louis would be deposed by the Assembly led by Agobard, Archbishop of Lyon and Eblon, Archbishop of Reims. On 7 October, Judith is sent to the Monastery of Tortone, Bernard to Prum, and Louis to the Monastery of Saint-Medard-de-Soissons, where in public ceremony, he is forced to lay down his sword, stripped of royal vestments, he is made to don the coarse cloth of a penitent. In 834, Louis and Pepin, tired of being under the control of their brother Lothar, decide to free their father. On 28 February, they succeed in freeing their father and in August in Blois, Lothar swears to Louis Le Pieux, that he would never leave Italy except by his direct command. Throughout 834, the Normands -- Danes, Swedes and Norwegians -- resume their raids. On 28 February 835, the General Assembly proclaims that

421 Louis was innocent of all previous accusations thus clearing the way for him to be re-established as Emperor on the Throne at Saint-Stephen of Metz.

In 837, thanks to the intercessions of Judith, Charles "Le Chauve", receives a Kingdom composed of Frisia, between the Seine, the Meuse and the sea and in September 838, he receives the crown at Quierzy-sur-Oise. In 838, Marseille is devastated by the Sarrasins. On 30 May 839, the Empire is divided in half, with Lothar taking the East, and Charles' lands extend through Provence, Lyon, Toul and Geneva and all the lands of the West. Louis "the German", gets to keep only Bavaria. Married in 819: Judith de Baviere (3628), daughter of Welf II, Count de Baviere and Egilwich=Heilwig, Abbess de Challes ; Louis married Judith upon the death of his first wife, Ermengarde. She bore him a son named Charles in 823. It is clear that Louis was as fond of Charles as Jacob was of his Benjamin. Died: on 22 Jun 840 in Ingelheim, Germany, at age 61 In 840, while attempting to keep Louis "the German" in line, Louis "Le Pieux" is taken ill in Salz. Feeling near death, he sends Lothar his sword and the crown on the condition that he would be loyal to Judith and abide by the lands division agreed to in Worms in 839. He died on an island, near Ingelheim on 22 June. 309. Judith de Baviere (Andre Roux: Scrolls, 191.)

Notes for First King of Alba Kenneth MacAlpin: [Master File.ftw]

[john gray.FTW] in 843, Kenneth claims and wins Dalriada Scots throne, and the Pictish throne through his maternal lineage (and war). He moves the capital to Scone, bringing the Stone of Destiny. He also shifted the religious center from Columba's Iona to Dunkeld. He is the first Scottish King, ruling north of the Forth. It is difficult to unite the 2 peoples, but the Viking raids bring common focus. Norse kings rule Orkney and much of the Hebrides. Kenneth is followed by a number of Kings

422 that are his descendants, but not his immediate heirs, nor is the Pictish system of accepting the maternal line utilized. It appears that a powerful member of the family, supported by other powerful members, comes to the throne.

Notes for Emperor Charlemagne*: [Master File.ftw]

Charlemagne was King of the Franks 768-814 and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire from 800-814. His Empire included all of Christian Western Europe (Italy, France, Austria, Germany, Spain). Charlemagne, or Charles the Great, CAROLINGIAN king of the FRANKS, came to rule over most of Europe and assumed (800) the title of Roman emperor. He is sometimes regarded as the founder of the HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE. In 768 he and his brother Carloman inherited the Frankish kingdom (most of present-day France and a part of western Germany) from their father PEPIN THE SHORT. The entire kingdom passed to Charlemagne when Carloman died in 771. He inherited great wealth and a strong military organization from his father and brother. He used these assets to double the territory under Carolingian control. In 772 he opened his offensive against the SAXONS, and for more than three decades he pursued a ruthless policy aimed at subjugating them and converting them to Christianity. Almost every year Charlemagne attacked one or another region of Saxon territory. --4,500 Saxons were executed on a single day in 782--and deportations were used to discourage the stubborn. The Saxons proved to be a far more difficult enemy than any of the other peoples subjugated by Charlemagne. For example, the LOMBARDS were conquered in a single extended campaign 773-74), after which Charlemagne assumed the title "king of the Lombards." In 788 he absorbed the duchy of Bavaria, and soon thereafter he launched an offensive against the AVAR empire. The Avars succumbed within a decade, yielding Charlemagne a vast hoard of gold and silver. After one disastrous campaign (778) against the Muslims in Spain, Charlemagne left the southwestern front to his son Louis, (later Emperor LOUIS I) who, with the help of local Christian rulers, conquered Barcelona in 801 and controlled much of Catalonia by 814. On Christmas Day, 800, Charlemagne accepted the title of emperor and was crowned by Pope LEO III. For several years after he regarded the imperial title of being of little value. Moreover, he intended to divide his lands and titles among his sons, as was the Frankish custom. At his death on Jan. 28, 814, however, only one son, Louis, survived; Louis therefore assumed control of the entire Frankish empire.
