3915 For this line to make sense, private would have to be a child of Elsie Tengler born about 1910, from an earlier relationship than George Forcier. Then private had a child in 1928. Although Corina has Forcier in their tree as a father of private? Or perhaps forcier/tengler married much earlier than we thought? Their 1st child was born in 1917 on the 1920 census. A 1910 child should show on that census. Perhaps this line is not correct. We do not know who private is. Private (I13732)

3921 Fought with the British during the French and Indian Wars and during the American Revolution. After Burgoyne was defeated at Saratoga in Oct 1777, Henry Ruiter Fled to Canada. His wife stayed in New York until 1780, but then also fled to Canada.

from findagrave.com:
Henry, and his brother John, stayed loyal to the British side at the start of the American Revolution. In 1777, he was forced to hide in the woods outside his home in Pitts Town, N.Y. for three months while revolutionists tried to capture him for his political beliefs. While they tormented his wife and their children, he managed to join the Burgoyne's British soldiers. He probably fought in the battles of Bennington and Saratoga. He escaped to Canada after Benedict Arnold's defeated Burgoyne at Saratoga. He later returned to the Albany area to recruit other Loyalists. He got them to join Major James Roger's Corps of Rangers, a British militia group. They fought with the British regular army and were headquartered in St. John's (St. Jean), Quebec on the Richelieu River.

By 1780, Henry Ruiter was leading his own Company of militia. They fought in battles at Fort Anne, N.Y. and Fort George (Lake George, N.Y.). Captain Ruiter's Company, one of three of Roger's Rangers companies, helped the army by spying on the rebels. They captured local rebel leaders, guarded prisoners of war, scouted, and delivered messages. They helped build defenses and forts. They saved loyalist families by helping them escape to Canada. His wife, Rebecca, and 6 of their 9 children were one of these families, arriving in St. Jean after being moved by the Army. The family was near starving to death. Finally in 1781, the Rangers took part in General Barry St. Leger's attacks along Lake Champlain. They were disbanded at the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783.

In 1781, Henry's wife Rebecca died in St. John's (St. Jean). A few years later, around 1783-84, he was remarried to Katherine Friot. She came from Pownal, Vermont, near where he had fought in the Battle of Bennington in 1777.

Henry Ruiter settled in Dunkin, a town along the Mississquoi River and near Mount Sutton. Many other Loyalists, like his brother John, settled there too. The land was just across from the Canadian-American border and just east of Mississquoi Bay, the northern part of Lake Champlain. Ruiter finally got the legal grant for his farm in 1803. He went on to build several saw and grist (lumber & grain) mills in the area. Ruiter soon became "well off" because of the money he made from his mills, selling land, farming and his military pension.

PARENTS:
It is not clear who the parents of Henry Ruiter were. Genealogical records of the Albany area show the baptisms of two infants named Hendrik Ruyter in 1742. Hendrik Ruyter, baptized 14 Feb, was the son of Philip Ruyter and Geertruy Vander Werken, who were married 20 Mar 1741. Hendrik Ruyter, baptized 26 Sep 1742, was the son of (John) Frederic Ruyter and Engeltie Vander Werken, married 6 Feb 1738. The two young Hendriks may have been double first cousins, their fathers being brothers and their mothers sister. To complicate the problem of identification further, both the Hendriks had younger brothers named Johannes. Both fathers died while the boys were still young, conforming to a family tradition that Henry Ruiter was early left a half-orphan. Frederic Ruyter was buried 19 may 1746. Philip Ruyter was buried less than two weeks later, on 1 June. (from "The life of Henry Ruiter 1742-1819" by Rick Ashton pub. 1974)

I am showing Philip and Geertruy as the parents based upon Hendrik naming his first daughter Geertruy. 		Ruiter, Henrick (I6316)

3935 From "A True Relation of The LIfe and Death of The Right Reverend Father in God William Bedell Lord Bishop of Kilmore in Ireland" Printed for the Camden Society 1872:

"Thomas Bedyll of Black Notley in the County of Essex, Yoman, in his will, dated September 16, 1550 (and proved in the Commissary Court of the Bishop of London for parts of Essex), directs his body to be buried in Black Notley church, and mentions his wife Johan, his daughters Alice, Custans, Johan, and Margery, and his sons John the elder,Thomas, James, and John the younger.
The will of a Johanne Bedell of Hatfield Peverell, co. Essex, widow, was proved in the Commissary Court of the Bishop of London for parts of Essex in 1576. ...

There was an article in the The Washington Post of March 10, 1808; "The wife of David IRISH of Westfield (Now Fort Ann, Washington Co. NY.)was delivered of five children, two sons and three daughters. They were alive when born, but died in a few hours. They altogether weighed seven pounds and fiveounces." Note of this event was also made in the 1810 Census of Queensbury, Warren Co. NY.

"David Irish, with a wife and three children, was the last family listed in the 1810 census of Queenbury, Washington County, New York. At the bottom of the page, the census-taker wrote a footnote concerning David's wife as follows: 'This woman is 24 years old and has had 10 children, 5 of which were born at one and the same time.' This may be the first instance of quintuplets recorded in this country."

The number of children caught our eye, so we looked at the family. The note is really there, and does appear to be marked for David.

The Irish families living in Queensbury in 1810 are:
Amos Irish
Andrew Irish
Benjamin Irish
David Irish
Jonathan Irish

There is an extremely well presented website for the Irish family at:
http://lthome.com/genealogy/

We copied the following information from there:
Benjamin Irish
Birth , 16 Mar 1749/50 , S. Kingston, Washington, RI
Father , Joseph Irish, b. 20 Apr 1724, S. Kingston, Washington Co., RI
Mother , Dorcas (Irish)
Group Sheet , F0918

1. Andrew Irish, b. BET 1765 AND 1784
2. David Irish, b. 23 Jan 1783
3. Amos Irish, b. 1786, Amenia, Dutchess, NY
4. Jonathan Irish, b. 27 Jul 1789, Warren or Washington Co., NY

This looks like the family.

It should be noted that though the census says that Mrs Irish had 10 kids, only 3 are living with them.

There was also another write-up regarding these births:
(There was an article in the The Washington Post of March 10, 1808; "The wife of David IRISH of

David's wife was Sally PHELPS daughter of Norman PHELPS Sr. of Fort Ann, Washington Co. NY. born July 31, 1785 in Hebron, Tolland Co. CT. They moved to Michigan in 1837 and David & Sally were divorced on November 15, 1847.

3943 From Abstracts of Wills on File in the Surrogate's Office, City of New York, Volume 5, p56.

Gerritt Post's will was dated 31 October 1750, although he lived until 1756, when a final codicil was appended to the will. In it he refers directly to his daughter "Klaartise" as the wife of Peter DeGroot. The Posts were then, and are today, among the more prominent New York families.

Page 56.--In the name of God, Amen, "the 31 day of 8ber, 1750." I, GERRITT POST, of Staten Island, Gent., being very weak. I leave to my wife Francyntie, during her life, all my messuages, lands, and tenements, goods and chattels. After her death I give all my lands and messuages where I now dwell unto my two sons, Gerritt and Peter Post, and they are to pay to their brother and their sisters £300, viz., to my son Johanes, and my daughters, Geesie, Catharine, and Rachel, and to my two grand children, Sarah and Leah Post, the daughters of my son, Adrian Post, deceased, £150, And my son Peter is to pay to my daughter Antye, Klaartise, wife of Peter De Groot, Janettie, Helena, and Maritie, £150. I leave to my son Johanes, and to my daughters, and my two grand children all that lot of land and tenements situate in Achquechtinock, in Essex County, New Jersey, adjoining the land of Harman Gerrittse. I give to each of my daughters, to whom I have not given one, a milch cow. All the rest of my personal estate to my children and grand children. And whereas I have given to my son Johanes £25, that amount is to be deducted from his part. I make my wife Francyntie, and Aaron Van Name, and Daniel Corsen, executors.

Witnesses, Gerrit Clauson, Benjamin Keldy, Thomas Lisk. It is my will that my son Peter shall be instructed and learn some trade or occupation.

Codicil, March 25, 1756.--Whereas in my will I have ordered that my son Peter pay £150 as therein directed, he is discharged from the same. 		Post, Gerritt (I8906)

3965 From Descendants of Jacob & Rachel (Wildman) Moore of Pelham TWP, Ontario by Ross W. McCurdy 1999
Notes:
Jacob Moore, son of Jeremiah Moore and Mary Wildman, was born in 1768 in Sadsbury Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He married Rachel Wildman, daughter of Joseph Wildman, in 1792 in Loudoun County, Virginia. They had ten children. He died in 1846 in Welland County, Ontario. Descendants and relatives lived mainly in Ontario and Michigan. 		Moore, Jacob Jeremiah (I9031)
 
3966 From familysearch.,org records: Birth date of 25 jun 1686 is entered in the parish records of Wald-Michelbach as Hans Michel Johannes. Hans Michel Johannes is also entered as marrying Eva Eberle in 1715. Hans Michel Johann is entered as marrying Eva Schmitt 17 June 1727 and having children after that date. To be the same people we would have to suppose that Hans married first in 1715, had no children, then married again in 1727 and had children. At this point I would think that we do not have enough to say that they are the same persons.

John Duncanson (ca. 1530-1601) was a Scottish minister, one of the Roman Catholic clergymen who willingly converted to the Protestant doctrines at the Reformation.[1][2] He was reputed to have lived to be nearly 100 years old. He was as the President of St Leonard's College, St Andrews in 1556,[3] around the time that he accepted the reformed faith. He held this position until 1566.[4] He was the minister at Stirling in 1560.[1][5]

He relinquished the charge about 1571.[5] He was the King's Minister, tutor and chaplain to King James VI from 1567 through 1580, and Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1574 and 1576.

In 1584, when he was upwards of eighty years of age, he was concerned in the so-called “ treasonable proceedings of the Earls of Angus and Mar, the Master of Glammis, with their colleagues and accomplices, and for reception, support, intercommuning, and defence of the said persons and their associates in the said treasonable act committed in the month of April last bypast". The treasonable act referred to was their seizing and holding the castle and town against the King (James VI.), whence they issued a proclamation declaring that their only object in seizing arms was to deliver the King from evil counsellors (Earl of Arran and others). The Earl is said to be Provost of Stirling at this time. John Duncanson must have been very active, because he was, along with others, excluded from the remission and pardon and protection granted by the King to the “ bailies, councillors, community, and inhabitants, with their wives and children".[5]

On 26 October 1591 Duncanson was appointed to a commission to try, examine, and if required torture people suspected of witchcraft. The others appointees were Sir John Cockburn of Ormiston, David MacGill of Nesbit, Robert Bruce, William Litill, then Provost of Edinburgh, and John Arnot.[6]

Family
He married:

(1) Janet Watson
(2) Margaret Kenzow, who survived him. He had issue -
James, minister of Alloa, Clackmannanshire, who married Helen Livingston;
William, apprenticed to Harry Smith, cutter, Edinburgh, 31st Jan. 1593 ;
Walter, apprenticed to Robert Middleton, tailor, Edinburgh, 4 March 1594-5 ;
Marion (married Alexander Hume, minister of Logie).[8][1] 		Duncanson, John (I9795)

Gressje Cerant (Grace Serant) was born in 1667, perhaps in France. She first married John Beselie in 1684. Gressje died in Tarrytown, NY.

Jean/John Besly/Beselie (c.1645, Rochelle, France - bef. 1689, Croton Point, NY), a fugitive Huguenot from the Isle de Re, two miles off the coast of Rochelle, France, possible, but unproven, son of Jean Besly & Louise Sauton, [Alternatively, it has been postulated that Jean was brother of Oliver Besly of Isle de Re.] With presumed brother or cousin, Etienne (c.1650), he emigrated to New York in 1681. Our Huguenot ancestor Rene REZEAU from the Miller line also fled the Isle de Re in 1685, eventually, arriving with his family in New York City. Here they joined the French Church, finally, they moved permanetly in Staten Island.

Gressje Cerant’s husband Jean Besley had to sell his home in St Martin, Isle de Re and flee to America.

“Jean Besly marchand demeurant cy devant en la ville de saint Martin en L’isle de Ré, est aussy fugitif du Royanne et a laissé. -Une maison, une piece de terre y joignant situeéan lien des prises en l’Isle de Ré…”

“Jean Besly, merchant living formerly in the city of St. Martin in Isle of Re, is also a fugitive of the crown and at large. -One house, one piece of land there adjoining the seizure on the Isle of Re…”

Jean married c.1670 Grace (Grees) Cerant of/or Heering, presumably of French birth. Because no record of this marriage can be found in the early New York church records, it is likely that they were married before they embarked for America. Upon arrival, they moved north along the Hudson and settled “among the aborigines” near Croton Point, just north of the Croton river. 		Beselie, Jan (I9716)

OK, I think I understand this all now. The simple answer is, no, Edward Fitz Randolph the immigrant is not a known descendant John of Gaunt, Edward III or have any other known connection to the kings of England.

The connection comes from: L.V.H. Randolph. Fitz Randolph Traditions. (New York, 1907), p. 120. It is complete garbage. This book made the Fitz Randolph line go:

Edward Fitz Randolph -- Emigrant,

son of Edward Fitz Randolph of Langton Hall d. 1635

son of Christopher Fitz Randolph

son of Randolph de Neville

5th son of Ralph (or Randolph) de Neville -- Duke of Westmoreland d. 1565.

No, the Fitz Randolphs are not descended from the Dukes of Westmorland and the spectacular ancestry that would go with it. They are thought to descend from the Fitz Randolph family of Spennithorne, co. York (no connection to the Dukes of Westmorland).

This family had been traced back quite a few generations to Ranulph Fitz Robert who married Mary le Bigod, daughter of the Magna Carta Surety, Roger Le Bigod. The line appears in early editions of Magna Carta Sureties and in Douglas Richardson’s 1st editions of Magna Carta Ancestry. However, there is an unproven or doubtful generation (John Fitz Randolph who m. Joan Conyers is not proven to have had a son John) and the line has been removed from Richardson’s most recent work Royal Ancestry. The line remains in WikiTree.

NEHGR vol. 97 (1943), 275-277 and 295-298

NEHGR vol. 99 (1945):335-336.

Just to clarify that the "old line" here is the Spennithorne line. The "Dukes of Westmorland" line was never in any reputable book.

Fitz Randolph Traditions is a very odd book. There's a lot of interesting stuff in it. The pedigree is deliberate fakery, not a mistake or just over-optimism. And yet the book never mentions Edward III - the author draws the line at making that claim explicit. 		FitzRandolph, John (I7966)

Helen was born about 1435 daughter to William Douglas earl of Angus and his spouse Margaret Hay. She was sister to William Douglas of Cluny[1].

About 1454 Helen married as her first husband William Lord Graham of Kincardine.

William Graham and Helen Douglas had issue:

Marjory / Mariot mar. James Lord Ogilvy her step brother
Christian mar. (1) James Haldane (2) Thomas Maule
William heir to his father
George d. 1513 at Flodden
Patrick rector of Glasgow University
Elizabeth mar. Andrew Moncur of that Ilk about 1481.
Janet mar.Walter Forrester of the Torwood in 1488
Helen's husband died about 1472. The widow Lady Graham and her mother-in-law the Dowager Lady Graham had a serious dsipute whereby Helen, Lady Graham raised an action against Christian, Lady Graham, in 1474. the latter successfully pleaded the exception "again ye said Elene yt scho suld be under sentence of cursing". [2]

Helen married secondly as second wife to Sir James Lord Ogilvy of Airlie about 1474. Helen retained the title of Lady Graham even after this marriage. Her younger children by William Graham appear to have accompanied her to be brought up in the Ogilvy household.

Sir James Ogilvy and Helen Douglas had issue:

Oliver mar. Felicia Fenton of Cookston
Alexander who mar. Nicholas Straton
Isabella mar. Alexander, son of James Stewart, Earl of Buchan & Auchterhouse.
Malcolm mar. Magaret Ouchterlony
Helen, Lady Graham, spouse of, and procurator for, Sir James Ogilvy of Airlie., appeared before David, Earl of Crawford at Dundee on 21 Nov 1486 , and produced letters of discharge under the seal and subscription of her husband asking to be freed from his service to the Earl for reasons contained in the letters; and she offered the Earl the letters of maintenance made by Sir James. The Earl of Crawford refused to accept all of these. [3] Andrew Moncur was principal witness to Helen Lady Graham's action and as his wife was Elizabeth Graham (born about 1460), it is most probable that he was son -in-law to Helen.

At Arbroath on 8 May 1478 the Abbot and Convent of Arbroath granted a tack to Helen, Lady Graham, and Oliver, her eldest son by Sir James Ogilvy, of the lands of Balfour and Kirkton, with the mill and teind sheaves, for nineteen years from Whitsunday 1480. [4]

Helen died about 1490 and her husband married Janet Lyle as his third wife. 		Douglas, Helen (I9788)

Maria Duncanson (also Donchesen, Donckesen, and other variants) was born in Scotland about 1614. In about 1650, she was living in New Netherland, where she became the second wife of Pieter Loockermans. In view of her age, Pieter is likely to have been Maria's second husband. A possible record of her first marriage exists in the form of banns posted in January 1640 for the marriage in Amsterdam, Holland, of a 25-year-old Maria Donckes and a James Macfasse, both from Scotland.

The identity of Loockermans' second wife Maria has been the subject of some debate. In preparation for his second marriage, in 1664, to Maria Varleth, Willem Teller made provision for his children by his first wife and appointed as their guardians "Sander Leendertse Glen and Pieter Loockermans, uncles of said children." This is interpreted as indicating that Pieter Loockermans' wife Maria was the sister of either Willem Teller or his deceased wife "Margariet Donckesen" (Duncanson). Because Margaret Duncanson had a sister Maria born about the same time as Pieter Loockermans, other Duncanson sisters lived in New Netherland, and there is no record of Willem Teller having any sisters in New Netherland, it is most likely that it was Maria Duncanson who was Pieter Loockermans' second wife. 		Duncanson, Maria (I9193)

"Sir James Colville, 1st laird of East Wemyss, married seccond, by congract dated at Edinburgh 21 May 1536 Margaret Forrester, sister german of David Forrester of Garden, by whom he had a daughter Margaret Colville and a son Mr. Alexander Colville, Commendator of Culross.... After Sir James Colville's death in England, on 10 January 1540/1 his widow Margaret and eldest son and heir James received a summons to appear before Parliament. On 14 March 1540/1, Margaret and her step-son witnessed the sentence of forfeiture against her late husband read aloud--proclaiming him guilty of the crime of...high treason.... the forfeiture was rescinded by parliament on 12 December 1543 and on 17 March 1543/4 the Lords of Council restored Colville's estate."[1]

"The precise date of Margaret Forrester's marriage to Henry Livingston of Falkirk has not been determined... In his Scots Peerage article, Wood cites a record registered 22 May 1550 of a dispute over a contract between Henry Livingston, here styled "in Falkirk," and Margaret Forrester, and Commendator William Colville, Sir James Colville, 2nd laird of East Wemyss, Robert Colville of Cleish, and others...."[2]

"It seems that in his youth Mr. Henry Livingston [son of Henry Livingston and Margaret Forrester] was placed with his elder half-brother Mr. Alexander Colville. As an apprentice in Mr. Alexander's household, Henry would have learned reading, writing and social protocol. And apparently Henry helped his half-brother with family business.... And finally, on 26 July 1586, at Edinburgh, 'Mr. Henry Lewingston, brother of the Iconimus [emphasis added], witnessed a charter to John Kennedy of Pennyglen. The fact that Mr. Henry Livingston is described as the brother of Mr. Alexander Colville, Iconomus of Melrose, can only mean they were uterine brothers, i.e., their mother was Margaret Forrester, widow of Sir James Colville of East Wemyss. Robert Milne the younger's manuscript pedigree is thus proved correct: Sir James Colville's widow married Henry Livingston of Falkirk and was the mother of Mr. Henry Livingston, Minister of St. Ninian's.[3]
