| 4004 | From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Livingston-187 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. | Livingston, Henry (I9779)

| 4005 | From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Loockermans-13 Note on identity Pieter Loockermans lived in Beverwyck (Albany, New York) in the same years as his nephew and fellow immigrant Pieter Janse Loockermans, and researchers have had found it challenging to determine the family relationships and distinguish the life events of the two men. When both were living in the same area, this Pieter Loockermans was sometimes described as "Pieter the Elder" and his nephew as "Pieter the Younger" (Pieter de Jonge). The epithets "Elder" and "Younger" do not appear in records from years after 1670, which some researchers have interpreted as indicating that Pieter the Elder had died around that time. However, Pieter the Younger was too young to have been the father of the daughters attributed to the Pieter who survived, indicating that it was Pieter the Younger who died around 1670, and Pieter the Elder who lived on.[1] Biography Pieter (formally Petrus) Loockermans was born in 1614 in Turnhout, Flanders, the son of Jacob Loockermans and his wife Maria (Maeyken).[2]. In 1637 he married Ursula Vissers in Turnhout.[2] A son, Jacobus, was born in 1638 and baptized in Turhout.[2]. There is no later record of Ursula or Jacobus, and it is surmised that they both died around 1641, the year that Pieter emigrated to New Netherland. [2]. After arriving in New Netherland, Pieter appears to have settled first in New Amsterdam (modern New York City), where in January 1642 he witnessed the baptism of the child of another Flemish immigrant.[2] In 1648 he witnessed the baptism, in New Amsterdam, of his nephew Johannes van Cortlandt, the son of his sister Anneke.[2]. His name appears on several records from Rensselaerswyck and Beverwyck/Albany on dates between April 15, 1649 and April 7, 1685. He received a land patent in Beverwyck in 1653 and bought a house there in 1656. His occupation was listed at various times as carpenter), gunstock maker, and innkeeper, and in 1660 he signed a petition in Beverwyck as a small fur trader.[2]. Pieter married Maria as his second wife around 1650. Maria is often identified as Maria Duncanson/Donchesen/Donckesen,[3] but her identity has been the subject of some debate.[2]. 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).[4] Because Margaret Duncanson had a sister Maria born about the same time as Pieter Loockermans, others Duncanson sisters lived in New Netherland, and there is no record of Willem Teller having any sisters in New Netherland,[5][4] it is most likely that Pieter's second wife was Maria Duncanson. [6] Pieter and Maria are recorded as the parents of four daughters, Maria, Annetje, Hilletje, and Catharina (Catelyntje).[7] Sources ↑ Frijhoff, pp. 13-14 ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 Frijhoff, p36 ↑ See, for example, Bielinski. ↑ 4.0 4.1 Remington, Gordon L.

| 4006 | From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Loockermans-27 Anna Loockermans was the daughter of Pieter Loockermans and his wife Maria Duncanson. She was born in 1663 or earlier, probably in Beverwyck (now Albany, New York).[1][2] She married Adam Winne (abt.1656-bef.1690) in 1683 and bore at least six children (according to Bielinski) or five daughters (according to Frijhoff, pp. 37-38). Children of the first marriage include: Rachel, daughter of Adam Winne and Anna Loockermans, baptized in the Reformed Dutch Church of New York on 8 August 1690.[3] After the death of Adam Winne, she married Jacob (Teunisz) van Woerdt (abt.1660-1730) (van Woert), who was a widower. They resided in Albany. During this second marriage, she gave birth to at least ten children whose baptisms were recorded in the Albany Reformed Dutch Church.[4] Anna's last recorded child was baptized in 1704. Her husband, Jacob Teunise died in July 1730 and was buried at the Albany Reformed Dutch Church.[1][2]Anna died, 30 May 1756 or 31 July 1742, and was buried in the Albany Dutch Churchyard Cemetery [2] Church Records Marriage 1691 18 Oct Jacob Teunisz, widr. of Catryn Claasz, and Annetje Lookerman, wid. of Adam Winne, both l. at N.

He moved from the village of Mierde, which is now in Brabant, Netherlands, to Turnhout, which is now in Belgium.[1] In 1570 he was recorded as a cooper in Turnhout.[2] He was married to Anna (Anneke) Jacobsdr van Loenhout as his first wife. She died in 1614. At his death, there were five surviving children from this marriage. He may have married a second time.[3] He was the namesake of his grandson, Govert Loockermans.

| 4008 | From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Loockermans-5 Jacob (Jacobus) Lokermans (Loockermans) was born in 1583 in Turnhout, Flanders, Belgium.[1] (Boyer states that he was born about 1590 in Turnhout, Antwerp Province, Belgium.[2]) He married Maeyken (Maria) Nicasius (Casus, Caes) on January 22, 1606, in Turnhout.[3] They had at least eight children, born between 1610 and 1622: Petrus (died young), Jan, Godefridus, Petrus (Pieter), Godefridus (Govert), Anna (Anneken), Mathias and Paulus (probably died young).[4] On April 26, 1613, Jacob received permission to go to France to ‘torff te maecken’ (cut peat) and ‘de spraecke aldaer te leeren’ (learn the language there). As of February 8, 1617 he was back in Turnhout.[5] His son Govert apparently was born during the years when the family was in France.[6] Jacob died in 1636,[7] probably in Turnhout. His widow died in 1640. Her estate was liquidated in 1640, at which time it was "laden with debt."[8] Sources ↑ Frijhoff, p.33 ↑ Ancestral Lines by Carl Boyer, 1998, pg 378 ↑ Frijhoff, p.33 ↑ Frijhoff, pp. 33-48 ↑ Frijhoff, pp. 33-34 ↑ Frijhoff, p. 9 ↑ Frijhoff, p. 33 ↑ Frijhoff, p. 34 Frijhoff, Willem.

| 4010 | From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Stewart-972 Robert III, King of the Scots was born John Stewart, the son and heir of Robert II and Elizabeth Mure, sometime around 1337.[1][2][3] John was created earl of Carrick on 22 June 1368.[4][5] Because his parents had eloped and there were inevitable questions about the validity of their marriage, he was legitimated by papal dispensation and, on 27 March 1371, declared by parliament to be heir to the throne of Scotland.[6] In 1384, Robert II's health began to fail and John, as his eldest son and heir, was appointed to supervise the enforcement of all laws within the kingdom.[7] Unfortunately, four years later (two years before he was to succeed his father) he was severely injured and permanently lamed when he was kicked by a horse belonging to Sir James Douglas of Dalkeith.[7][8] Because John's injuries limited his physical ability to "enforce the laws," parliament appointed his younger brother Robert, earl of Fife, as Guardian of the Kingdom in his place, with complete responsibility for administering the government.[9][7] John succeeded his father on 19 April 1390, and was crowned at Scone on 14 August of the same year, taking the regnal name of Robert III.[10][11][12] His wife, Annabella Drummond, was crowned Queen of Scots on the following day.[1][12] The new king was fifty years old and in frail health; and his younger brother, the earl of Fife, continued to function as the Guardian of the Kingdom, making the king's position little more than symbolic.[13] This arrangement unfortunately gave rise to an increase in the independence claimed by many of the nobles (who were granted an annuity for their "retinue and service," which ordinarily would have been considered part of their lawful obligation to the king) and resulted in more power-grabs and warring among the various clans.[13][14] Major Events Affecting His Reign Robert III has been variously described as "courteous," "dignified," and kind-hearted."[15] He wanted Scotland to be peaceful and prosperous, and for the most part his subjects recognized this and regarded him with affection.[15] However, he was completely ineffectual as a leader, having neither the energy nor the will power to control his nobles.[15][16] In 1393 he did make an attempt to seize control of the government back from his brother, but the results were disastrous.[8] Although external relations with England and France were relatively peaceful,[17] within Scotland itself lawlessness was rampant.[13][18] His own youngest brother, Alexander, whose ruthless pillaging in the northern regions earned him the nickname of 'the Wolf of Badenoch,' was excommunicated by the Bishop of Moray for seizing some of his lands. The Wolf of Badenoch retaliated by setting fire to the town of Elgin and burning the magnificent cathedral of Elgin to the ground.[13][18] Bribery and corruption were rife, there was a widening rift between the Lowlands and the Highlands, and clan warfare rose to new levels.[8] Robert III became so depressed by this state of affairs that he instructed his wife to bury him in a dungheap with the epitaph "Here lies the worst of kings and the most miserable of men."[8] [16] At this point Queen Annabella took matters into her own hands by calling a special council in April 1398.[8] Robert III appears to have been present at this meeting, at which his eldest son, David (then only nineteen years of age), was created duke of Rothesay and his brother Robert, earl of Fife, was created duke of Albany (marking the first time the title of duke was ever used in Scotland).[19][20] Politics at court quickly became an ongoing battle beween the queen and her son on one side, and the ambitious duke of Albany ( who had earlier become accustomed to governing the kingdom himself) on the other side.[21] In January, 1399, civil unrest became so uncontrolled that the Estates (encouraged by Albany) decided to depose the king.[22] They did not call for his abdication because he was well liked personally, but they did conclude that the misgovernance of the realm was due to the king and his ministers, and declared that "...sen it is welesene and kennit that our lorde the kynge for seknes of his persone may nat trauail to gouerne the Realme na restreygne trespassours and rebellours" the task of governing would be given to a Council General.[22] Albany, however, did not get the job. David, duke of Rothesay and heir to the throne (now twenty years of age) was made Governor.[22] Unfortunately for David, Albany was made one of his senior advisors.[8] Rothesay was required to take the same oath as a king at coronation, and detailed provisions were enacted to prevent any interference by Robert III in government affairs.[22] The king made no attempt to recover his power, depressed and convinced that he was a complete failure he retired to the family estates at Rothesay and in Ayrshire.[22][16] David was young, reckless, and not an astute politician. His dissolute lifestyle gained him some powerful enemies, not the least among them George, earl of March, whose daughter he was engaged to marry but whom he jilted in order to marry the daughter of Archibald the Grim, 3rd earl of Douglas, who had a larger dowry.[23][24] When the queen died in October 1401,[25] Albany contrived to have David arrested and thrown into the prison at Falkland Castle in Fife where he was left to starve to death.[8] David Stewart, duke of Rothesay, died 26 Mar 1402. His death has been variously ascribed to starvation, slow poison, or even dysentery caused by the primitive conditions of his confinement.[26][27] Because the circumstances of his death strongly suggested foul play, Albany arranged for a declaration of the Estates which pronounced David's death to be "the visitation of Providence."[26] It should be noted, however, that Jon Wright, one of the persons in whose care David was committed, later received a payment of £108 from Albany.[26] Albany lost no time in grabbing the reins of power, and now only an old man in failing health and an eight year old boy stood between himself and the throne.[28] Marriage and Children John married Annabella Drummond, daughter of Sir John Drummond of Stobhall and Mary Montifex, daughter of Sir William Montifex, sometime after 13 March 1365 (the date of the commission to grant a dispensation for their marriage) and before 31 May 1367 (when King David granted a charter to the earldom of Atholl in both their names).[1][29] There were seven children from this marriage: David Stewart, Duke of Rothesay; b. 24 Oct 1378;[30][31] m. Feb 1400 Marjory Douglas;[30][31] d. 26 Mar 1402[30][31] Robert Stewart; b. bef 1392;[32] d. young[30][33] James I of Scotland; b. 25 Jul 1394;[34][35] m.

Late in February 1406 he asked Sir David Fleming to help smuggle young James out of Scotland to France, to ensure his safety.[8] This mission turned out to be a disaster: Fleming was ambushed and killed and high tides delayed the ship which was to convey the boy to France. When Henry St Clair finally managed to hide James on a cargo ship instead, it was attacked by pirates who took the young prince to England where he was imprisoned in the Tower of London.[8][48] Robert III died 4 April 1406 at Dundonald, Ayrshire.[1][26] He is thought to have died of grief, shortly after having learned of his youngest son's imprisonment.[49][26] He was buried in front of the high altar in the Abbey Church at Paisley, Renfrewshire.[1][49] In accordance with his wishes, the funeral was not an elaborate one.[50] It was not until many years later that a monument to his memory was erected by Queen Victoria.[16] Research Notes (Daughter) Mary Stewart: Douglas Richardson believes that Mary had five husbands, and that husband number three was William de Cunningham, Knt of Kilmaurs.[43] He cites as evidence the papal dispensation granted for this marriage on 7 July 1409.[51] No other historian gives credence to this marriage. James Balfour Paul acknowledges the papal dispensation and states "....there is no clear evidence that the marriage with Sir William Cunningham took place, though it is not improbable."[52] Alison Weir also references the papal dispensation but adds "....it is doubtful whether the marriage ever took place."[40] Sir Archibald Dunbar makes no mention of a marriage to Cunningham, only listing four husbands for Mary.[53] More significantly, however, the Rotuli Scaccarii Regum Scotorum (The Exchequer Rolls of Scotland) does not list Cunningham as one of Mary's husbands.[44] The Exchequer Rolls are a meticulous accounting of all expenditures made by the royal treasury and provide documentation of all of Mary's other four marriages but do not contain any evidence that a marriage between Mary and Cunningham was ever formalized. Accordingly, he is not listed as one of Mary's husbands in this profile. (Daughter) Egidia (or Giles) Stewart: In The Exchequer Rolls of Scotland there are remissions in the accounts dated March 1405/6 and March 1406/7 of the custom of the wool of Galloway, Nithsdale, and Douglasdale to Egidia, daughter of Robert III.[45] This suggests that Egidia was the Countess of Douglas, who is called "Margaret" in several crown charters and has been identified as Robert III's eldest daughter. It is unknown whether Margaret and Egidia were the same person (although the distinguished scholar/historian, Thomas F. Henderson, does believe that this was the case),[54] or whether Egidia was actually a younger daughter of Robert III. There are, however, numerous payments made to an "Egidia, daughter of Robert III" by authority of the governor, usually said to be for her adornment ("pro apparatu suo") and some of these payments were received on her behalf by her uncle, the earl of Atholl.[45] Alison Weir describes Egidia as having died unmarried, although she gives no source for this statement.[46] Sources ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 Douglas Richardson.

| 4016 | From MayflowerHistory.com: John Howland was born about 1599, probably in Fenstanton, Huntington. He came on the Mayflower in 1620 as a manservant of Governor John Carver. During the Mayflower's voyage, Howland fell overboard during a storm, and was almost lost at sea--but luckily for his millions of descendants living today (including Presidents George Bush and George W. Bush, and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt) he managed to grab hold of the topsail halyards, giving the crew enough time to rescue him with a boat-hook. It has been traditionally reported that John Howland was born about 1592, based on his reported age at death in the Plymouth Church Records. However, ages at death were often overstated, and that is clearly the case here. John Howland came as a servant for John Carver, which means he was under 25 years old at the time (i.e. he was born after 1595). William Bradford, in the falling-overboard incident, refers to Howland as a "lusty young man," a term that would not likely have applied to a 28-year old given that Bradford himself was only 30. Bradford did call 21-year old John Alden a "young man" though. Howland's wife Elizabeth was born in 1607: a 32-year old marrying a 17-year old is a relatively unlikely circumstance. Howland's last child was born in 1649: a 57-year old Howland would be an unlikely father. All these taken together demonstrate that Howland's age was likely overstated by at least 5 years. Since he signed the "Mayflower Compact", we can assume he was probably at least 18 to 21 years old in 1620. John Howland had several brothers who also came to New England, namely Henry Howland (an ancestor to both Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford) and Arthur Howland (an ancestor to Winston Churchill). | Howland, John (I4111)

| 4025 | From Scots-Irish in Va.-Vol-2: David Caruthers filed a marriage bond to Elizabeth Jackson, dau of David Jackson on 14 March 1786. From Virginia Marriages to 1800: David Caruthers married Elizabeth Jackson on 18 March 1786 in Augusta County, Virginia. From Virginia Bond, Marriage, Probate Records 1639-1850: The will of David Caruthers dated 25 May 1810 in Augusta County, Virginia mentions wife Elizabeth, sons John and James and oldest daughter Jean. Book WB12-164 Prove Date 27 May 1816 From his obituary John Caruthers was born in Augusta County, Virginia 4 July 1793. Therefore, we know that David of Augusta County, Virginia had a son named John sometime after 1786. We know that our John was born 4 Jul 1793 in Augusta County, Virginia. But is there any information to show that they are the same person? After studying Census and Tax lists for Augusta County (details follow) it would appear that there were at most two Caruthers families in Augusta County-The David Caruthers family and the Thomas Caruthers family. We do not see another John as a head of household. Therefore, it would appear likely that there was only one John in Augusta County during this time period. 1790 US Census: Unfortunately the Virginia census records for this year is missing. A reconstructed Tax list for 1790 http://www.binnsgenealogy.com/VirginiaTaxListCensuses/ shows David Caruthers in Augusta County. 1800 US Census: Unfortunately the Virginia census records for this year is missing. A reconstructed Tax list for 1800 http://www.binnsgenealogy.com/VirginiaTaxListCensuses/ shows David Caruthers in Augusta County and Thomas Caruthers in Augusta County. 1810 US Census: David Caruthers in Augusta and Thomas Careathers in Augusta 1820 US Census: Elizabeth Caruthers in Stanton, Augusta County and John Careathers in Waynesboro, Augusta County. (1 male 26-44 and 1 female 26-44 is consistent with his just marrying Nancy Brown earlier in 1820.) The date of birth of all of David's children is not known. However David's will shows two sons, the eldest born 1786 and one eldest daughter, Jean, birth unknown. He mentions the other daughters would receive bequests as they come of age. Which would imply they were born after 1794, as the will is dated 1810. So, if James was the oldest child, David's birth date was probably 1766 or before. Which means he was aged at least 50 or more when he died in 1816. This would change to an older age if Jean was the oldest child or if he had started having children later in life. | Caruthers, David (I2909)

| 4033 | From The "Descendants of John Owen of Windsor Connecticut" dated 1941 we have John Owen Married Rebecca Wade of nearby Hartford, the daughter of Robert and Jemima Wade. The name Robert Wade appears on the Hartford Settlers Monument as one of the 127 original settlers of Hartford in 1639. From "Annals of Dorchester" we have a land record concerning Robert Wade dated 4 Jan 1635. (?? Robert Charles Anderson of Great Migrations Books shows no entry for Robert Wade before 1639.) In the "Memorial History of Hartford County, Connecticut" the following appears "Robert Wade, Dorchester, 1635, removed soon to Hartford, where he was one of those who received land" The name of Robert Wade appears in Hartford land records in Feb 1639. In Aug 1657 Robert Wade was divorced from his wife, Jane or Joan, by the General Court at Hartford on the grounds of her refusal for 15 years to leave England and join him in the colony. (15 years goes back to 1642, which does not align well with the other dates of 1635 and 1639 as being in the colonies. Or perhaps his wife was here and then returned to England in 1642. Other than starting with the same letter the wife's name also does not match up well.) Probate records dated June 1682 of Robert Wade mentions 3 daughters, but none named Rebecca!!! To summarize we have a Robert Wade from England in Dorchester by 1635 and one of the founders of Hartford in 1639. Of much else we cannot be certain. | Wade, Robert (I2633)

| 4034 | From the Great Migration Begins; "Savage states that WIlliam Hayden, "Dorchester, came probably in the Mary & John, 1630" [Savage 2:387]. This may be a false association of William Hayden with John Hayden, who was in Dorchester from about 1632 to 1639. There is no record of William Hayden in Massachusetts Bay, and he first appears in Connecticut records in the late 1630s." The following is per William J. Dowell http://stithvalley.com/ancestry/taylor/johnhayd.htm Again and again we read that Gideon Haydon and Margaret Davy of Cadhay House, Ottery St Mary, Devonshire, were the parents of John Hayden, the 1632 immigrant to Dorchester, Massachusetts. However, tracing the origins of an early New England immigrant ancestor can be an extremely challenging exercise, not least because, in the past, genealogists have often reached firm conclusions based upon very inadequate evidence, such as a coincidence of names and dates. Frequently, New England settlers have been identified as members of gentry families in England, who were generally well documented. However, relatively few immigrants came from a gentry background; they were mostly tradesmen or yeomen. Thus the Gideon Haydon genealogy has gained wide acceptance among John Hayden's descendants in America, but without any proof beyond a coincidence of name and date. On the other hand, there are two strong arguments against this genealogy. First, the Gideon Haydon family of Cadhay were adherents of the Church of England, and their sons, Gideon Haydon (1609-1680) and Nicholas Haydon (1620-1676), were ardent Royalists during the English Civil War, whereas our John Hayden was clearly a Puritan. Second, coinciding with John Hayden's arrival in Massachusetts is the presence there of William Hayden and James Hayden. There is the possibility that either or both of these men were brothers of John. In that case, however, it is unlikely that they were children of Gideon Haydon, because no record exists of a child named William born to Gideon and Margaret Haydon. Gideon and Margaret had a child named James, but this son died in infancy. Of course it is equally possible that these three were cousins, or even strangers, which would not necessarily upset the identification of John Hayden as the son of Gideon and Margaret Haydon of Cadhay. | Hayden, William (I4236)

| 4036 | From the Thrall website at http://www.thrale.com/history/usa/william_thrall.php: Note-This passage contains errors-see below. William Thrall is the founder of the Thrall family in the United States. He was born in 1605 in Sandridge, Hertfordshiure, England and came to the Colonies on the 'Mary and John' in the year 1630. The Mary and John was a vessel of four hundred tons captained by a man named Squeb and the vessel sailed with 180 passengers. William was part of a company of Puritans under the leadership of Rev. John Wareham of Exeter and Rev. John Meverick, both ministers of the Church of England Setting sail from Plymouth, England on 20 March, they first came ashore on 30 May 1630. They disembarked with what goods they had, to some high land in the salt meadow, now a part of the city of Boston. They named the place Dorchester, which was selected by the captain of the "Mary and John" as he came from Dorchester, England. Page 277 of Prince's Chronology of New England records… “May 30, Lord's Day. Mr. Wareham and his church, and their goods, were put ashore at Nantasket Point. The went immediately to Charlestown, and from thence to Mattepan, and began a town and named it Dorchester, and the native Indians were kind to them.” Revs. Wareham and Meverick and their group stayed in Dorchester less than five years, as a number of their menfolk had discovered more fertile land below the first falls of the Connecticut River, at the junction of the Farmington River just above Hartford. Part of the Colony went by boat and the remainder traveled across the one hundred miles of virgin forest, to establish the town of Windsor. Windsor was unofficially known as Thrallville in the early years. The first we know of William Thrall is that he is listed with the following men who were among the thirty men who went from Windsor to join in the fight against the Pequod Indians in May 1637. Capt. John Mason, Sgt. Benedict Alvord, Thomas Barber, Thomas Buckland, George Chappel, John Dyer, James Eggleston, Nathaniel Gillet, Thomas Gridley, Thomas Styles, Sgt. Thomas Stares, Richard Osborn, Thomas Parsons, William Thrall. The Indian village in this case was so completely destroyed that for many years, the settlers had no further trouble with the Indians. Some years later, the participants were given land grants. To quote from Dr. Styles records with regard to the first Indian war in New England, “The danger was imminent, and so complete the victory that it caused universal rejoicing throughout New England, and a grant of land was given each soldier and officer, and to this day the memory of an ancestor who was in the Pequod fight, is an honorable heirloom in every Connecticut family” William Thrall is mentioned many times in the early records. His lot shows up in the first plot of Windsor, between the lots of Nicholas Palmer and Thomas Bascomb, and ran from the road to the Farmington River. In 1646, William sold this lot to Nicholas Palmer and moved to Simon Hoyte's place, north of the village. Robert Wilson bought a half interest with William in the Hoyte's 80 acres, but sold his half to Thrall in 1654. This 80 acres has been part of the holdings of the Thrall family ever since. William Thrall was born in 1605 in Sandridge, Hertfordshire, England, and died on 3 August 1679 in Windsor, Connecticut, America. William Thrall made a will. We know very little about the wife of William Thrall. She is referred to in the Old Windsor records as Goode Thrall, but 'Goode' was an expression applied to women with families and it is simply an abbreviation of 'Goodwife'. Whether she came over to New England on the "Mary and John" with her husband or they met in Dorchester, has never been established. The record of her death simply states… “Goode Thrall, wife of William, died 30 July 1676” The above quote from the Thrall website has some good information, but some of the important details are incorrect. The birthdate of 1605 in Sandridge is generally accepted to be another William Thrall. There is no evidence that William was aboard the 1630 voyage of the Mary & John. It is generally accepted that he was not. Records with his name begin in 1637. It may be a good assumption that he arrived in 1636 with another voyage of the same ship. The other information given above does all appear to be correct. There is no good evidence of birthplace or parents name. There were a lot of Thralls in England and there are many possibilities. Winthrops Journal did have an entry that William Thrall was 60 years old in 1666. See TAG V24 P112. Digest of Early Connecticut Probate Records: Page 27-8. Thrall, William, Windsor.

He was the second son of Richard de Clare, 6th Earl of Gloucester and his wife Maud de Lacy, Countess of Gloucester. In 1272 he served a term as Lieutenant of the Duchy of Aquitaine.[1] On 26 January 1276 he was granted the Lordship of Thomond by Edward I of England; he spent the next eight years attempting to conquer it from the O'Brien dynasty, kings of Thomond. Career Thomas was born in about 1245 in Tonbridge, Kent, England, the second eldest son of Richard de Clare and Maud de Lacy.[2] He and his brother Bogo received gifts from King Henry III when they were studying at Oxford from 1257-59.[3] Thomas was a close friend and intimate advisor of Prince Edward of England, who would in 1272 accede to the throne as King Edward I. Together they took part in the Ninth Crusade. He held many important posts such as Governor of Colchester Castle (1266) and Governor of The City of London (1273). He was made Commander of the English forces in Munster, Ireland and created Lord of Inchiquin and Youghal. On 26 January 1276, he was granted the entire lordship of Thomond by King Edward. That same year, he jointly commanded a Norman army along with Sir Geoffrey de Geneville, Justiciar of Ireland against the Irish clans of County Wicklow. They were joined by a contingent of men from Connacht led by his father-in-law Maurice FitzGerald, 3rd Lord of Offaly. Thomas and Justiciar de Geneville's forces attacked the Irish at Glenmalure, but they were soundly defeated and suffered severe losses.[4] Civil War in Thomond Civil war raged in Thomond between the rival factions of the O'Brien dynasty. In 1276, Brian Ruad, the deposed King of Thomond appealed to Thomas for support to help him regain his kingdom from his great-nephew Toirrdelbach MacTaidg O' Brien, who had usurped the throne. In return for his aid, Brian Ruad promised that Thomas would be allowed to colonise all the land between Athsollus in Quin and Limerick.[5] Together, Thomas and Brian Ruad expelled Toirrdelbach MacTaidg O'Brien and recaptured Clonroad which the latter had taken from Brian Ruad. O'Brien escaped to Galway where he elicited the help of his cousin William de Burgh, and in 1277 together with the assistance from clans, MacNamara and O'Dea they defeated the combined forces of Thomas and Brian Ruad. The latter fled to Bunratty Castle, but Thomas had his former ally hanged and drawn for treason.[6] The civil war continued for the next seven years, with Thomas supporting Brian Ruad's son Donnchad against Toirrdelbach; however, following the drowning death of Donnchad in 1284, Toirrdelbach emerged the victor. Thereafter until his death in 1306, Toirrdelbach MacTaidg O'Brien ruled as undisputed King of Thomond and Thomas had no choice but to accommodate him. O'Brien rented part of Bunratty Manor at £121 per annum.[6] In 1280, Thomas embarked on a castle-building project at Quin, but was disrupted in his efforts by the O'Briens and MacNamaras. Thomas also reconstructed Bunratty Castle in stone, replacing the earlier wooden building. Marriage and children In February 1275, he married Juliana FitzGerald, the 12-year-old daughter of Maurice FitzGerald, 3rd Lord of Offaly and Maud de Prendergast.[7] During their marriage, Thomas and Juliana lived in Ireland and in England. For instance, on 5 May 1284 the King notified his bailiffs and lieges in Ireland of the attorneys who were to act in Ireland on behalf of the couple as they were then in England. This arrangement was to continue for three years, except when Thomas and Juliana went to Ireland.[8] Thomas and Juliana had four children: Maud de Clare (1276-1327), married firstly, Robert de Clifford, 1st Baron de Clifford, by whom she had issue; and secondly Robert de Welles, 2nd Baron Welles. Gilbert de Clare, Lord of Thomond, (3 February 1281 - 1308) Richard de Clare, Steward of Forest of Essex, 1st Lord Clare, Lord of Thomond (after 1281 - 10 May 1318), married a woman by the name of Joan, by whom he had one son, Thomas. He was killed at the Battle of Dysert O'Dea. Margaret de Clare (c. 1 April 1287 - 22 October 1333/3 January 1334), married firstly, Gilbert de Umfraville; and secondly Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere, by whom she had issue. Death When evidence was taken in 1302 to prove the age of his son Gilbert, it was established that Thomas had died on 29 August 1287.[9] A mid-18th century compilation known as the Dublin Annals of Inisfallen states that Thomas was killed in battle against Turlough son of Teige and others. However, none of the earlier records of his death indicate that Thomas met a violent end. Some of the witnesses to Gilbert's age in 1302 referred to the date of Thomas' death in their calculations but all were silent as to its circumstances. This and much other evidence on the subject has been set out and evaluated by Goddard Henry Orpen of Trinity College, Dublin.[10] Thomas was succeeded as Lord of Thomond by his eldest son, Gilbert who was six years old. His widow Juliana, aged 24 years, would go on to marry two more times. | de Clare, Thomas (I7982)

Alice was thus the sister of Thomas Boleyn, 1st Earl of Wiltshire, and the aunt of King Henry VIII's second Queen, Anne Boleyn.[1] Life Alice married, as his second wife, Sir Robert Clere (c. 1453 - 10 August 1529) of Ormesby St. Margaret, Norfolk, the son and heir of Robert Clere and his wife Elizabeth, the daughter and heiress of Thomas Uvedale.[2] In 1533, Alice and her sister, Anne Shelton, were placed in charge of the household of the King's daughter, Princess Mary.[3] Alice was also a senior member of Princess Elizabeth's household while she was living at Hatfield Palace in Hertfordshire.[citation needed] It has been supposed that Alice Clere was the kinder of the two guardians appointed to Mary. Anne Shelton is believed to have been harsher.[citation needed] Alice died on 1 November 1538, leaving a will dated 28 October 1538 which was proved 23 January 1539.

She was the first countess of Ormond to live at Kilkenny Castle, Ireland. According to Frederick Tupper, Professor of English at the University of Vermont, she was commemorated as "Anelida, Queen of Armenia" in Geoffrey Chaucer's poem Anelida and Arcite. [1] Family and lineage Anne Welles was born in Grainsby, Lincolnshire, England in 1360, the daughter of John de Welles, 4th Baron Welles (23 August 1334 - 11 October 1361) and Maud de Ros (died 9 December 1388).

He twice served as Lord Justice of Ireland. Upon her marriage to the earl, she assumed the title Countess of Ormond. In September 1391, James purchased Kilkenny Castle from Hugh le Despenser, and the Ormonds subsequently made this magnificent stone fortification set in a park their chief residence with the earl using this as a base from which he ruled over the district. Previously they had lived at Gowran Castle. James and Anne hosted King Richard II when he visited Kilkenny Castle in 1395. King Richard showed his favour to the earl and countess by acting as godfather to their second son, named Richard in honour of the king.[2] It was suggested by Frederick Tupper, Professor of English at the University of Vermont, that Anne was commemorated as "Anelida, Queen of Armenia", in Geoffrey Chaucer's poem Anelida and Arcite with "Arcite" having been her husband.[1] Issue James and Anne had three children:[3] James Butler, 4th Earl of Ormond (1392- 22 August 1452), known as The White Earl.

Legend: S(igillum) Roberti de Cliford ("Seal of Robert de Clifford"). Arms: Chequy or and azure, a fesse gules Caesar's Tower, 12th century keep of Appleby Castle, seat of Robert de Clifford Robert de Clifford, 1st Baron de Clifford (1 April 1274 - 24 June 1314), of Appleby Castle, Westmorland, feudal baron of Appleby and feudal baron of Skipton in Yorkshire, was an English soldier who became 1st Lord Warden of the Marches, responsible for defending the English border with Scotland. Origins He was born at Clifford Castle,[citation needed] Herefordshire, a son of Roger II de Clifford (d.1282) (a grandson of Walter II de Clifford (d.1221), feudal baron of Clifford[1][2]) by his wife Isabella de Vipont (d.1291), one of the two daughters and co-heiresses of Robert II de Vipont (d.1264), feudal baron of Appleby, grandson of Robert I de Vieuxpont (d.1227/8). Thenceforth the Clifford family quartered the arms of Vipont: Gules, six annulets or. The ancient Norman family which later took the name de Clifford arrived in England during the Norman Conquest of 1066, and became feudal barons of Clifford, first seated in England at Clifford Castle in Herefordshire. Inheritances As his father had predeceased his own father, in 1286, Robert inherited the estates of his grandfather, Roger I de Clifford (d.1286). Following the death of his mother, Isabella de Vipont, in 1291, he inherited a one-half moiety of the extensive Vipont feudal barony of Appleby in Westmorland, including Appleby Castle and Brougham Castle. During the outbreak of the Wars of Scottish Independence, in 1296, Brougham Castle became an important military base for Robert, and in 1300, King Edward I of England visited there. In 1308, Robert was granted the remaining moiety of the barony of Appleby, by his childless aunt Idonea de Vipont (d.1333),[3] and thus became one of the most powerful barons in England. Career During the reigns of the English Kings, Edward I and Edward II, Clifford was a prominent soldier. In 1296, he was sent with Henry de Percy, 1st Baron Percy to quell the Scots who asked for terms of surrender at Irvine. He was then appointed Governor of Carlisle. During the reign of King Edward I, he was styled Warden of the Marches, and during the reign of King Edward II, as Lord Warden of the Marches, being the first holder of this office.[4] In 1298, he fought for King Edward I at the Battle of Falkirk, in which William Wallace was defeated, for which he was rewarded with Governorship of Nottingham Castle. In 1299, he was created Baron de Clifford by writ and summoned to Parliament. He won great renown at the Siege of Caerlaverock Castle, in 1300, during which his armorials (Chequy or and azure, a fesse gules) were recorded by the heralds on the famous Caerlaverock Roll or Poem, which read (translated from French):[5] "Strength from wisdom drawing, Robert Lord de Clifford's mind is bent on his enemies' subjection. Through his mother his descent comes from that renowned Earl Marshal at Constantinople, said to have battled with a unicorn and struck the monster dead. All the merits of his grandsire, Roger, still in Robert spring. Of no praise is he unworthy; wiser none was with the King. Honoured was his banner, checky gold and blue, a scarlet fess. Were I maiden, heart and body I would yield to such noblesse!" Clifford was one of many who sealed the 1301 Barons' Letter to the Pope, in the Latin text of which he is described as Robertus de Clifford, Castellanus de Appelby ("Constable of Appleby Castle").[6] After the death of King Edward I, in 1307, he was appointed counsellor to his son, King Edward II, together with Henry de Lacy, 3rd Earl of Lincoln, the Earl of Warwick, and the Earl of Pembroke. In the same year of 1307, the new King appointed him Marshal of England, and in this capacity he probably organised Edward II's coronation on 25 February 1308. On 12 March 1308, he was relieved of the marshalcy, the custodianship of Nottingham Castle, and of his Forest justiceship, but on 20 August 1308, he was appointed captain and chief guardian of Scotland.[7] In 1310, King Edward II granted him Skipton Castle, and he was created Lord of Skipton, being given the feudal barony of Skipton in Yorkshire, held until that date by Earl Henry de Lacy (1251-1311).[8] Henry had married Margaret Longespée, Clifford's cousin and heiress of the feudal barony of Clifford, which had descended in the female line from Clifford's great-great-uncle, Walter II de Clifford (d.1263), Margaret's maternal grandfather.[2] Skipton Castle would later become the principal seat of the Clifford family until 1676. In 1312, together with Thomas Crouchback, 2nd Earl of Lancaster, he took part in the movement against Piers Gaveston, King Edward II's favourite, whom he besieged at Scarborough Castle. Marriage & progeny In 1295, at Clifford Castle, he married Maud de Clare, eldest daughter of Thomas de Clare, Lord of Thomond and Juliana FitzGerald. By Maud, he had four children:[9] Roger de Clifford, 2nd Baron de Clifford (b. 21 January 1281) Idonia (or Idonea) de Clifford (b. c.1303), married Henry de Percy, 2nd Baron Percy. Robert de Clifford, 3rd Baron de Clifford (b. 5 November 1305) Margaret de Clifford (b.1307), married as her second husband, Piers de Mauley, 5th Lord Mauley (1300-1355). Death & burial Clifford was killed on 24 June 1314 fighting at the Battle of Bannockburn[4] and was buried at Shap Abbey in Westmoreland. | Clifford, 1st Baron Clifford Robert (I7870)

| 4047 | From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Edmund Butler, Earl of Carrick and 6th Chief Butler of Ireland (1268 - 13 September 1321) was a noble in the Peerage of Ireland. He was the second son of Theobald Butler, 4th Chief Butler of Ireland. Edmund went on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in 1321 but died in London on 13 September 1321. He was buried in St. Mary's Collegiate Church Gowran, County Kilkenny on 10 November 1321. Career Edmund succeeded to his father's lands upon the death of his elder brother Theobald, the 5th Chief Butler of Ireland, in 1299. He was created Justiciar of Ireland in 1303 with a fee of £500 per annum. In 1309 was knighted by Edward II in London. Three years later he defeated the O'Byrne and O'Toole clans in Glenmalure. At a great feast in Dublin on Sunday 29 September 1313, he created 30 Knights, by patent, dated at Langley 4 January 1314.[1] Having distinguished himself during the Bruce campaign in Ireland alongside John de Bermingham, 1st Earl of Louth and Roger Mortimer, Edmund was granted a charter of the castle and manor of Karryk Macgryffin and Roscrea to hold to him and his heirs sub nomine et honore comitis de Karryk. The patent was dated at Lincoln 1 September that year, 1315; on that date, he was given the return of all the King's writs in the cantreds of Oreman (sic Ormond), Elyogerth (sic Eliogarty), and Elyocarroll in County Tipperary. To these was added, on 12 November 1320, all the lands of William de Carran in Finagh and Favmolin in County Waterford.[2] However, the charter, while creating an earldom, failed to make Edmund's heir James Earl of Carrick. James was later created Earl of Ormond (Ireland) in his own right in 1328 alongside Roger Mortimer, who was created Earl of March, and the newly created John of Eltham, Earl of Cornwall), brother of King Edward III. In 1317, after suffering a military defeat in a rebellion led by Edward Bruce, brother of Robert Bruce, he was replaced as Justiciar by Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March.[3] Marriage and children He married Joan FitzGerald in 1302, daughter of the John FitzGerald, 1st Earl of Kildare and together they had several children, the eldest of whom succeeded him as Chief Butler of Ireland but not as Earl of Carrick.

He was born c. 1182, the eldest son of Roger Bigod, 2nd Earl of Norfolk by his wife Ida de Tosny. Career In 1215 he was one of the twenty-five sureties of Magna Carta of King John. He succeeded to his father’s estates (including Framlingham Castle) in 1221. Marriage & progeny In late 1206 or early 1207, Hugh married Maud Marshal (1192 - 27 March 1248), daughter of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke (1147-1219), Marshal of England, by his wife Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke.

Ralph Bigod (born c. 1215) Contrary to the assertion of Frederick Lewis Weis, Ancestral Roots, there is no evidence for a fourth son called Simon Bigod. A man of that name appears as a witness to one of Earl Hugh's charters (Morris, HBII 2), but as the eighteenth name in a list of twenty, suggesting no close connection to the main branch of the family. He is also named among the knights who surrendered to King John at Framlingham Castle in 1216. He was a probably a descendant of Hugh or William Bigod, half-brothers to Earl Roger II Bigod. Simon le Bigot is recognized as the third son of Hugh Bigod in Francis Blomefield, 'North Erpingham Hundred: Felbrigg', in An Essay Towards A Topographical History of the County of Norfolk: Volume 8 (London, 1808), pp. 107-119.

| 4053 | From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia James Butler, 1st Earl of Ormond (October 17, 1304 - January 6, 1338) was a noble in the Peerage of Ireland. He was born in Arklow, Wicklow, Ireland and died in Gowran, Kilkenny, Ireland. Family James Butler was the son of Edmund Butler, Earl of Carrick, (1268 - 13 September 1321), Justiciar of Ireland and Joan FitzGerald, Countess of Carrick. His paternal grandparents were Theobald le Botiller (1242-1285), (the son of Theobald le Botiller and Margery de Burgh) and Joan FitzJohn (FitzGeffrey) (d. 4 April 1303), who was the daughter of John FitzGeoffrey, Lord of Shere, Justiciar of Ireland and Isabel Bigod.[1] His maternal grandfather was John FitzThomas FitzGerald, 1st Earl of Kildare. Titles Upon his father's death in 1321, the only hereditary title James succeeded to was that of Chief Butler Of Ireland. As the 7th Chief Butler, he inherited the title from his ancestor Theobald Fitzwalter, or Theobald Butler, whose successors adopted the surname Butler.[2] The hereditary office of butler of Ireland was one of particular fealty to the Crown, whereby Theobald and his successors were to attend the Kings of England at their coronation.[3] A gap of seven years followed before James was rewarded for his especial loyalty with an earldom in his own right. His benefactor, the young King Edward III, created him the first Earl of Ormond by patent dated 2 November 1328, at Salisbury-the king was holding a Parliament there-with the creation fee of £10 a year.[4] Seven days later by patent dated at Wallingford, in consideration of his services and the better to enable him to support the honour, the king gave James the regalities, liberties, knights fees, and other royal privileges of the county of Tipperary, and the rights of a palatine in that county for life. At about the same time, September 1328, the king created Roger Mortimer the 1st Earl of March, who would soon arouse the anger of those most loyal to the Crown.[5] In 1336 James founded the friary of Carrick-Begg (a townland on the River Suir opposite Carrick-on-Suir) for Franciscan Friars. On 3 June of that year he gave the friars his castle and estate of Carrick, which they occupied on the feast day of SS. Peter and Paul. Marriage and children In 1327 James was offered a marriage arrangement that would give him the castle and manor of Kilpec, Hereford, for life. He married Eleanor de Bohun (1304-1363), daughter of The 4th Earl of Hereford and The Lady Elizabeth, daughter of King Edward I of England; they had 6 children together, four of which survived infancy: Anne Butler (1328-1329) Eleanor Butler (?) John Butler (born and died an infant in 1330) Elizabeth Butler (1330-1392), married (after July 20, 1359), Gerald FitzGerald, Earl of Desmond, son of Maurice FitzThomas, Earl of Desmond and Aveline FitzMorice, and had issue.

He was born at Kilkenny and given in ward on 1 September 1344-his father, James Butler, had died in 1338-to Maurice, Earl of Desmond, for the fine of 2306 marks; and afterward to Sir John Darcy who married him to his daughter Elizabeth. James Butler the son was called the Noble Earl on account of his descent from the Royal Family through his mother.[6] Petronella Butler (1332 - April 23, 1368), married Gilbert Talbot, 3rd Baron Talbot, son of Richard Talbot, 2nd Baron Talbot and Elizabeth de Comyn, and had issue. James' successors held the title Earl of Ormond, which was later merged with the higher title of Duke of Ormonde; they held palatine rights in County Tipperary[5] until the County Palatine of Tipperary Act 1715. | Boteler, Jamesle (I8022)

The son of James Butler, 1st Earl of Ormond and Lady Eleanor de Bohun, James was born at Kilkenny Castle and given in ward, September 1, 1344, to Maurice FitzGerald, 1st Earl of Desmond for the fine of 2,306 marks; and afterward to Sir John Darcy who married him to his daughter Elizabeth. He was usually called The Noble Earl, being a great-grandson, through his mother, of King Edward I of England.[1] He died at Knocktopher Castle in Kilkenny, Leinster, Ireland.

In the 1360s he clashed with Maurice FitzGerald, 4th Earl of Kildare. In 1364 the Irish House of Commons sent a delegation to England, headed by Kildare, to complain of misgovernment, and to ask for the removal of "corrupt" officials, some of whom had links to Ormond. A number of these officials were removed, but Ormond's position was not seriously threatened.

He acceded to the title in 1382 and built Gowran Castle three years later in 1385 close to the centre of Gowran, making it his usual residence, whence his common epithet, The Earl of Gowran.

Career In 1391 he purchased Kilkenny Castle from the Despencer family.[2][3] He also built the castle of Dunfert (also called Danefort) and in 1386 founded a Friary of minorities at Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire.[4] In 1384 he was deputy to Sir Philip Courtenay, the then Lieutenant of Ireland, who was the nephew of the Archbishop of Canterbury, William Courtenay. The two men for a time were united in opposition to Robert Wikeford, the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, who resented the Butler dynasty's power and influence. Butler's title was Governor of Ireland. A rift occurred between them over the disagreement between the Archbishop of Canterbury and Richard II with Butler taking the side of the latter. Insurrection followed which prompted Richard II to an expedition under the banner of his close friend Robert de Vere, Duke of Ireland to quell it. This enterprise was led by Sir John Stanley who was accompanied by Bishop Alexander de Balscot of Meath and Sir Robert Crull.[5] Butler joined them upon their arrival in Ireland. The result of its success was Stanley's appointment as Lieutenant of Ireland, Bishop Alexander as chancellor, Crull as treasurer, and Butler again as governor.[6] On 25 July 1392, he was appointed Lord Justice of Ireland as he was again in 1401. On the departure of Sir Stephen Scrope to England on 26 October 1404, by commission, dated at Carlow, 12 February 1388-9, he was appointed keeper of the peace and governor of counties Kilkenny and Tipperary.

The dispute reached its height in 1442 when Archbishop Talbot, supposedly acting on behalf of the Irish Parliament, presented the Privy Council with a long list of grievances against Ormonde, who was accused of being old and feeble (in fact he was only fifty, which was not considered a great age even in the fifteenth century), and of having lost most of his Irish estates through negligence; there were also vague references to treason and "other crimes which could not be named".[2] The Council summoned Ormonde to account for his actions: he defended himself vigorously, and made detailed counter-charges against the Archbishop. The Council took no action against him. Instead it rebuked both sides to the dispute severely for disrupting the good governance of Ireland. The feud gradually cooled off, and friendly relations between the two families were finally established by the marriage of Ormonde's daughter Elizabeth to Shrewsbury's son and heir John.[3] Later years Ormonde remained an influential figure in Irish politics, although his later years were troubled by fresh quarrels with the Earl of Desmond, with Giles Thorndon, the Treasurer of Ireland, with Thomas Fitzgerald, Prior of the Knights Hospitaller at Kilmainham, and with Richard Wogan, the Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Wogan in particular complained that he was no longer able to endure the burden of Ormonde's "heavy lordship" and asked to be allowed to deputise his duties.[4] Relations between Ormonde and Prior Fitzgerald became so bad that in 1444 it was seriously suggested that they settle the matter through trial by combat, but King Henry VI intervened personally to persuade them to make peace.[5] In 1440 Ormonde had a grant of the temporalities of the See of Cashel for ten years, following the death of the Archbishop of Cashel, Richard O'Hedian. He built the castles of Nenagh, Roscrea and Templemore in north County Tipperary and Tulleophelim (or Tullowphelim) in County Carlow. He gave the manor and advowson of Hickcote in Buckinghamshire to the Hospital of St Thomas of Acre in London, which was confirmed by the Parliament of England (in the third year of Henry VI) at the suit of his son.[6] Since his father-in-law had no surviving son, Ormond, in right of his second wife Elizabeth, claimed possession of the Earldom of Kildare, and for some years was able to keep the legitimate heir out of his inheritance. He died in Dublin on 23 August 1452 on his return from an expedition against Connor O'Mulrian, and was buried in St. Mary's Abbey near Dublin. Marriage and Children He married firstly, in 1413, Joan Beauchamp (1396-1430), the daughter of William de Beauchamp, 1st Baron Bergavenny and Joan Arundel, by whom he had three sons and two daughters:[7] James Butler, 5th Earl of Ormond, who died without any legitimate children. John Butler, 6th Earl of Ormond, who died without any legitimate children. Thomas Butler, 7th Earl of Ormond. Elizabeth Butler, who married John Talbot, 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury.

She had two brothers, Gerald (died 1303), and Thomas FitzGerald, 2nd Earl of Kildare (died 5 April 1328), who married Joan de Burgh (c. 1300 - 23 April 1359), daughter of Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster and Margaret de Burgh of Lanvalley, by whom he had issue. Joan had one sister, Elizabeth, who married Nicholas Netterville, by whom she had issue. Joan FitzGerald's paternal grandparents were Thomas FitzMaurice FitzGerald and Rohesia de St. Michael, and her maternal grandparents were John de La Roche, Lord of Fermoy, and Maud de Waleys (Walsh). The latter was a daughter of Henry le Walleis, Mayor of London. Marriage and issue In 1302, Joan married Sir Edmund Butler, Earl of Carrick, the son of Theobald le Botiller (1242-1285) and Joan FitzJohn (FitzGeoffrey) (died 4 April 1303).

They were repelled by Bruce, at the River Bann near Coleraine and forced to retreat. Sir Edmund, due to lack of supplies, returned to Ormond. Edward Bruce was later killed in 1318, at the Battle of Faughart. On 1 September 1315, for services against the Scottish raiders and Ulster rebels, Edmund Butler was granted a charter of the castle and manor of Karryk Macgryffin and Roscrea to hold to him and his heirs sub nomine et honore comitis de Karryk. However, the charter, while creating an Earldom, failed to make Edmund Butler's issue Earls of Carrick.[1] Joan's father, John FitzThomas FitzGerald, died a year later on 10 September 1316, several months after being created Earl of Kildare by King Edward II.

Juliana was married three times; Thomas being her first. She is sometimes referred to as Juliane FitzMaurice. Early life and family Juliana FitzMaurice was born on 12 April 1266 in Dublin, Ireland, the eldest daughter of Maurice FitzGerald II, 3rd Lord of Offaly, Justiciar of Ireland and Maud de Prendergast. She had a sister Amabel who married but was childless. Her first cousin was John FitzGerald, 1st Earl of Kildare. Her paternal grandparents were Maurice FitzGerald I, 2nd Lord of Offaly and Juliana, and her maternal grandparents were Sir Gerald de Prendergast of Beauvoir and the unnamed daughter of Richard Mor de Burgh, Lord of Connacht and Egidia de Lacy. Juliana's maternal ancestors included Brian Boru, Dermot McMurrough, and Maud de Braose. Juliana's father, Maurice FitzGerald, was married twice, first to Maud de Prendergast and secondly to Emmeline Longespee. It has been some source of contention as to which of his two wives had issue Juliana. However, at her death, Emmeline Longespee did not mention Juliana as her daughter and heir; rather, Emmeline's heir was her niece, Maud la Zouche, wife of Robert la Zouche, 1st Lord Holland. It has been concluded by several reputable researchers that Juliana's mother was Maurice FitzGerald's first wife, Maud de Prendergast. Supporters for Emmeline Longespee being the mother have yet to produce any counter-evidence beyond hearsay. Marriages and issue In 1278, at the age of 12, Juliana married her first husband, Thomas de Clare, Lord of Thomond, Lord of Inchiquin and Youghal. He was the second eldest son of Richard de Clare, 5th Earl of Hertford, 2nd Earl of Gloucester and Maud de Lacy. Thomas was a friend of King Edward I of England, with whom he went on a Crusade. He held many important posts including the Office of Governor of Colchester Castle (1266), Governor of the City of London (1273). He was also the commander of the English forces in Munster, Ireland, and on 26 January 1276, he was granted the lordship of Thomond. He was born in 1245, which made him about eighteen years older than Juliana. Throughout their marriage, the couple lived in both Ireland and England. It is recorded that on 5 May 1284, King Edward notified his lieges and bailiffs in Ireland of the attorneys who were to act on behalf of Thomas and Juliana as they were in England at the time. This arrangement continued for another three years except while they were residing in Ireland.[1] Thomas and Juliana had four children:[2] Maud de Clare (c. 1276-1326/27), married firstly on 3 November 1295 Robert de Clifford, 1st Baron de Clifford, by whom she had issue; she married secondly after 1314 Robert de Welle. Gilbert de Clare, Lord of Thomond (3 February 1281-1308) Richard de Clare, Steward of Forest of Essex, 1st Lord Clare, Lord of Thomond (after 1281 - 10 May 1318 at the Battle of Dysert O'Dea), married a woman by the name of Joan by whom he fathered one son, Thomas. Margaret de Clare (c. 1 April 1287 - 22 October 1333), married firstly in 1303 Gilbert de Umfraville; she married secondly before 30 June 1308 Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Lord Badlesmere, by whom she had four daughters and one son. The era was marked by unrest and strife as civil war was waged between rival factions of the powerful O'Brien clan. In 1277, Juliana's husband had his former ally Brian Ruad, the deposed King of Thomond, hanged for treason at Bunratty.[3] Thomas died on 29 August 1287, leaving Juliana a widow at the age of twenty-four with four small children; the youngest, Margaret was not quite five months old. On an unknown date she married her second husband, Nicholas Avenel. He presumably died before 11 December 1291/16 February 1292, as this is when she married her third husband, Adam de Cretynges.[4][5] Death and legacy Juliana died on 24 September 1300. Her numerous descendants included Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland who married Lady Joan Beaufort and thus their descendant, the English king Edward IV. By Edward IV's daughter, Elizabeth of York, consort of Henry VII, she was an ancestress to all subsequent monarchs of England and the current British Royal Family. Henry VIII's queens consort Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr also descended from her. | FitzMaurice, Juliana (I7983)

She married Sir William Boleyn and through her eldest son Sir Thomas Boleyn, was the paternal grandmother of Anne Boleyn, second wife of King Henry VIII of England, and great-grandmother of Anne and Henry's daughter, Elizabeth I of England. Life She was born at Kilkenny Castle in County Kilkenny, Ireland, the daughter and co-heiress of Thomas Butler, 7th Earl of Ormond and Anne Hankford. Her paternal grandparents were James Butler, 4th Earl of Ormond and Joan de Beauchamp. Her maternal grandparents were Sir Richard Hankford (c. 1397 - 1431) and Anne de Montagu. She had two sisters: Anne who married Sir James de St. Leger, by whom she had issue, and Elizabeth. Anne and Margaret claimed to be co-heiresses of their father and the Earldom of Ormond, but their cousin, Piers Butler, who had physical control of the Irish estates and the backing of the Irish Council, claimed to be the heir through the direct male line. In 1520, the King granted her a pardon for the alienation of Fritwell Manor, Oxfordshire.[4] The issue wasn't resolved until 1528, by which time Margaret's position was good, with the influence of her granddaughter, then betrothed to Henry VIII, and Margaret's son, Thomas Boleyn's, status as King's adviser.[5] In 1465 Margaret married Sir William Boleyn, and in total they had ten children. Her son, the ambitious courtier Sir Thomas Boleyn, became the first Earl of Wiltshire and by his marriage to Elizabeth Howard, the Duke of Norfolk's daughter, was the father of Anne Boleyn, Queen Consort of England. Thus, Margaret was great-grandmother to Queen Elizabeth I of England. Margarets role in the rise and fall of the Boleyn clan is unknown, although there has been much speculation and theorizing.[citation needed] She was the last of the Boleyns to live in Hever Castle as it was given to Anne of Cleves in 1540 sometime after her death.

Her first marriage was to Robert de Clifford, 1st Baron de Clifford, 1st Lord of Skipton (1274-1314) on 3 November 1295 by which she had four children.[1][3][4] Her second marriage was to Sir Robert de Welles, 2nd Baron Welles, Constable of Pendragon Castle (1297-1326) on 16 Nov 1315. They had no children.[4] She was born in 1276 in Tewkesbury, Tewkesbury Hundred, Gloucestershire, England and moved to Badlesmere to be near her sister, Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere. She died in Badlesmere in 1327 twice a widow.[4] Life Maud de Clare had an unfortunate life full of drama and controversy. In 1314 at the Battle of Bannockburn both her husband Robert de Clifford, 1st Baron de Clifford and her nephew Gilbert de Clare, 8th Earl of Gloucester, 7th Earl of Hertford, 10th Lord of Clare, 5th Lord of Glamorgan (1291-1314) were both killed in battle.[3][4] Her second marriage to Robert de Welles, 2nd Baron Welles was done without royal licence and this angered the King of England. She was initially the co-heiress to her nephew's estates along with her sister, Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere, before the King issued the estates to Lord de Clare's three sisters. Some say this is due to the fact that she married Lord de Welles without royal licence.[4] Maud de Clare and her Sister Margaret were the next heirs of their father's estate which included the Stewardship of the Forest of Essex, the town and castle at Thomond and numerous other properties in Ireland.[4] | de Clare, Maud (I7981)

Maud was their eldest daughter.[1] She had two husbands: Hugh Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk, and William de Warenne, 5th Earl of Surrey. Maud was also known as Matilda Marshal. Maud's birthdate is unknown other than being post 1191. She was the eldest daughter of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke and Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke, herself one of the greatest heiresses in Wales and Ireland. Maud had five brothers and four younger sisters. She was a co-heiress to her parents' extensive rich estates. Her paternal grandparents were John FitzGilbert Marshal and Sybilla of Salisbury, and her maternal grandparents were Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, known as "Strongbow", and Aoife of Leinster. Marriages and issue Sometime before Lent in 1207, Maud married her first husband, Hugh Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk. It was through this marriage between Maud and Hugh that the post of Earl Marshal of England came finally to the Howard’s (Dukes of Norfolk).[2] In 1215, Hugh was one of the twenty-five sureties of the Magna Carta. He came into his inheritance in 1221, thus Maud became the Countess of Norfolk at that time. Together they had five children:[3] Roger Bigod, 4th Earl of Norfolk (1209-1270) He died childless. Hugh Bigod (1212-1266), Justiciar of England. Married Joan de Stuteville, by whom he had issue. Isabel Bigod (c. 1215-1250), married firstly Gilbert de Lacy of Ewyas Lacy, by whom she had issue; she married secondly John Fitzgeoffrey, Lord of Shere, by whom she had issue. Ralph Bigod (born c. 1218, date of death unknown), married Bertha de Furnival, by whom he had one child. Contrary to the assertion of Frederick Lewis Weis, Ancestral Roots, there is no evidence for a fourth son called Simon Bigod. A man of that name appears as a witness to one of Earl Hugh's charters (Morris, HBII 2), but as the eighteenth name in a list of twenty, suggesting no close connection to the main branch of the family. He is also named among the knights who surrendered to King John at Framlingham Castle in 1216. He was probably a descendant of Hugh or William Bigod, half-brothers to Earl Roger II Bigod. Hugh Bigod died in 1225. Maud married her second husband, William de Warenne, 5th Earl of Surrey before 13 October that same year. Together they had two children: Isabella de Warenne (c. 1228 - before 20 September 1282), married Hugh d'Aubigny, 5th Earl of Arundel. She died childless. John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey (August 1231 - c. 29 September 1304), in 1247 married Alice de Lusignan, a half-sister of King Henry III of England, by whom he had three children. Maud's second husband died in 1240. Her youngest son John succeeded his father as the 6th Earl of Surrey, but as he was a minor, Peter of Savoy, uncle of Queen consort Eleanor of Provence, was guardian of his estates. Death Maud died on 27 March 1248 at the age of about fifty-six years and was buried at Tintern Abbey with her mother, possibly her maternal grandmother, and two of her brothers. | Marshal, Maud (I8066)

"But others say that he never enjoyed that lordship himself, but passed it the son and grandson of his eldest brother Gerald."[1] Career He was born in 1238 in Wexford, Ireland, the second son of Maurice FitzGerald, 2nd Lord of Offaly and Juliana de Grenville. He had three brothers, Gerald fitz Maurice II (died 1243), Thomas fitz Maurice (died 1271), and David fitz Maurice (died without issue). Maurice was known by the nickname of Maurice Mael (from an old word meaning "devotee" in Irish). He was granted his father's lands in Connacht in exchange for quitclaiming the barony of Offaly sometime before 20 May 1257,[2] when his father Maurice FitzGerald II died at Youghal Monastery. Before his father died, Maurice was custos of Offaly, but after the 2nd Lord of Offaly died, the countess of Lincoln, Margaret de Quincy, sued him for custody of Offaly.[3] Terrible feuds raged in his time between the Geraldines and the DeBurghs.[4] Maurice FitzMaurice and his nephew John, son of his brother Thomas,[5] captured the justiciar, Richard de la Rochelle, Theobald Butler IV, and John de Cogan I (whose son was married to Maurice FitzGerald III's sister, Juliana). The capture of the three magnates led to a private war in Ireland, with the Geraldines on one side and Walter de Burgh and Geoffrey de Geneville on the other. However, the Second Barons' War in England forced them to come to a temporary peace while they battled Montfortians in the English Midlands in 1266.[6] In May 1265, Maurice FitzMaurice was among the chief magnates in Ireland summoned to inform King Henry III of England and his son Prince Edward about conditions in the country, and again in June 1265. These were the result of the private war between the Geraldines and Walter de Burgh, lord of Connacht (who was later made the 1st earl of Ulster). Maurice was appointed Justiciar of Ireland on 23 June 1272[4] following the accidental death of his predecessor, James de Audley on 11 June of that year; his father had served in the same capacity from 1232 to 1245. Maurice himself held the post until September 1273, when he was succeeded by Sir Geoffrey de Geneville, Seigneur de Vaucouleurs. He held four knight's fees in both Lea and Geashill from Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Mortimer who had inherited them from his wife, Maud de Braose.[7] In 1276, he led a force of men from Connacht against the Irish of County Wicklow. Maurice's contingent joined the main army of English settlers jointly commanded by his son-in-law, Thomas de Clare, Lord of Inchiquin and Youghal who had been made Lord of Thomond earlier that same year, and Sir Geoffrey de Geneville, Maurice's successor as Justiciar of Ireland. The English under Thomas de Clare and Geoffrey de Geneville attacked the Irish at Glenmalure, but were defeated and suffered heavy losses.[8] Marriages and issue Sometime between May 1258 and 28 October 1259, he married his first wife, Maud de Prendergast, daughter of Sir Gerald de Prendergast of Beauvoir and an unnamed daughter of Richard Mor de Burgh. Together he and Maud had one daughter:[9] Amabel FitzGerald, married but died childless. Maurice was Maud's third husband. She died on an unknown date. In 1273, Maurice married his second wife, Emmeline Longespee (1252-1291), daughter of Stephen Longespée and Emmeline de Ridelsford. He and Emeline had one daughter.[10] Juliana FitzGerald (d. 24 September 1300), married firstly, Thomas de Clare, Lord of Thomond, by whom she had four children; she married secondly Nicholas Avenel, and thirdly, Adam de Cretynges. Maurice died 2 September 1277, at Ross, County Wexford. Emmeline Longespee then fought until her death to claim her dower against her daughter, Juliana, her step-daughter, Amabilia, and John FitzGerald, who would be created 1st Earl of Kildare on 14 May 1316. John was the son of his brother Thomas by Rohesia de St. Michael. John sued or physically took lands from the bailiffs of Emmeline, Juliana, and Amabilia.[11] There is some confusion as to whether Gerald Fitzmaurice FitzGerald was the first or second son of Maurice FitzGerald, 2nd Lord of Offaly. Most, like M. Hickson, of the RSAI say he was the eldest. Lord Walter FitzGerald says he was the second. In any event, he predeceased his father in 1243. His son, Maurice FitzGerald,[12]drowned in the Irish Channel in July 1268. His son was Gerald FitzMaurice III (born in 1263). Gerald's marriage was sold to Geoffrey de Geneville, who matched Gerald with his own daughter, Joan, but he died childless on 29 August 1287.[citation needed] Maurice Fitzmaurice FitzGerald 3rd Earl of Offaly was succeeded by nephew John, son of his younger brother Thomas Fitzmaurice FitzGerald. | FitzMaurice, Maurice (I7984)

In 1383 he received his inherited lands and had already embarked on a military career, being knighted and holding for ransom a number of French prisoners of war. The next year he was summoned to Parliament as a baron and in 1385 was under the command of Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland, fighting the Scots in the defence of Berwick-upon-Tweed. At the Battle of Otterburn in August 1388, he was taken prisoner by the Scots, not being freed until October 1389 after payment of a sizeable ransom, toward which both King Richard and the Bishop of Durham contributed.[1] In 1391 he was appointed Captain of Berwick and in 1392 received royal permission to rebuild and crenellate his castle at Lumley. In 1394 and 1397 he was on the commission of the peace for the North Riding of Yorkshire and in 1397 attended the Parliament at which all members had to swear loyalty to King Richard.[1] In the Parliament of September 1399 he accepted the seizure of power by King Henry IV and the imprisonment of Richard, but in December joined his cousin Thomas Holland, 1st Duke of Surrey, in the conspiracy known as the Epiphany Rising, which aimed to murder Henry and restore Richard. He was one of the conspirators captured and beheaded at Cirencester in January 1400. All his moveable possessions were given to the King's half-brother John Beaufort, 1st Earl of Somerset, and his estates were forfeited to the crown, apart from lands yielding 100 pounds a year left to support his widow and twelve children.[1] Family He married Eleanor (died after 1441), third daughter of his guardian John Nevill and his first wife Maud, daughter of Henry Percy, 2nd Baron Percy.[1] Their children included: Thomas (died 1400), implicated in his father's treason.[1] Sir John (1383-1421), whose son Sir Thomas obtained a reversal of his grandfather's attainder in 1461.[1] Marmaduke (died 1450).

Lineage Born in 1346, he was the son of Richard Fitzalan, 3rd Earl of Arundel and Eleanor of Lancaster.[2] He succeeded his father to the title of Earl of Arundel on 24 January 1376. His brother was Thomas Arundel, the Bishop of Ely from 1374 to 1388, Archbishop of York from 1388 to 1397, and Archbishop of Canterbury in 1397 and from 1399 until his death in 1414.[3] At the coronation of Richard II, Richard Fitzalan carried the crown.[2] Richard Fitzalan, 4th Earl of Arundel; Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester; Thomas Mowbray, Earl of Nottingham; Henry, Earl of Derby (later Henry IV); and Thomas Beauchamp, 12th Earl of Warwick, demand Richard II to let them prove by arms the justice for their rebellion In 1377, Richard Fitzalan held the title of Admiral of the North and West.[2] In this capacity, he attacked Harfleur at Whitsun 1378, but was forced to return to his ships by the defenders. Later, he and John of Gaunt attempted to seize Saint-Malo but were unsuccessful.[4] Power Struggle Fitzalan was closely aligned with Thomas, Duke of Gloucester, who was uncle of King Richard II. Thomas was opposed to Richard II's desire for peace with France in the Hundred Years War and a power struggle ensued between him and Gloucester. In late 1386, Gloucester forced King Richard II to name himself and Richard Fitzalan to the King's Council.[5] This Council was to all intents and purposes a Regency Council for Richard II. However, Richard limited the duration of the Council's powers to one year.[6] Knight of the Garter In 1386, Richard II named Richard Fitzalan Admiral of England and made him a Knight of the Garter.[2] As Admiral of England, he defeated a Franco-Spanish-Flemish fleet off Margate in March 1387, along with Thomas de Mowbray, Earl of Nottingham.[6] New favourites In August 1387, the King dismissed Gloucester and Fitzalan from the Council and replaced them with his favourites - including the Archbishop of York, Alexander Neville; the Duke of Ireland, Robert de Vere; Michael de la Pole; the Earl of Suffolk, Sir Robert Tresilian, who was the Chief Justice; and the former Mayor of London Nicholas Brembre.[7] Radcot Bridge The King summoned Gloucester and Fitzalan to a meeting. However, instead of coming, they raised troops and defeated the new Council at Radcot Bridge on 22 December 1387. During that battle, they took the favourites prisoner. The next year, the Merciless Parliament condemned the favourites. FitzAlan was one of the Lords Appellant who accused and condemned Richard II's favorites.[5] He made himself particularly odious to the King by refusing, along with Gloucester, to spare the life of Sir Simon de Burley who had been condemned by the Merciless Parliament. This was even after the queen, Anne of Bohemia, went down on her knees before them to beg for mercy. King Richard never forgave this humiliation and planned and waited for his moment of revenge. Arundel was named Governor of Brest in 1388.[2] Opposed to peace Peace was concluded with France in 1389. However, Richard FitzAlan followed Gloucester's lead and stated that he would never agree with the peace that had been concluded.[5] Marriage and children Arundel married twice. His first wife was Elizabeth de Bohun, daughter of William de Bohun, 1st Earl of Northampton and Elizabeth de Badlesmere. They married around 28 September 1359 and had seven children:[2][8] Thomas Fitzalan, 5th Earl of Arundel[2] Lady Eleanor Fitzalan (c. 1365 - 1375), on 28 October 1371, at the age of about six, married Robert de Ufford. Died childless. Elizabeth Fitzalan (c. 1366 - 8 July 1425), married first William Montacute (before December 1378); no issue. Married second, in 1384, Thomas Mowbray, 1st Duke of Norfolk; had issue. Married third, before August 1401, Sir Robert Goushill of Hoveringham; had issue. Married fourth, before 1411, Sir Gerard Usflete, son of Sir Gerard Usflete (d.1406),[9] MP, without issue.[2][10] Joan FitzAlan (1375 - 14 November 1435), who married William Beauchamp, 1st Baron Bergavenny;[2] Alice Fitzalan (1378 - before October 1415), married before March 1392, John Charleton, 4th Baron Cherleton. (not mentioned as an heir of Thomas in the Complete Peerage). Had an affair with Cardinal Henry Beaufort, by whom she had an illegitimate daughter, Jane Beaufort. Margaret Fitzalan, who married Sir Rowland Lenthall;[2] by whom she had two sons. William (or Richard) Fitzalan After the death of his first wife in 1385, Arundel married Philippa Mortimer, daughter of Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March. Her mother was Philippa Plantagenet, the only daughter of Lionel of Antwerp and thus a granddaughter of Edward III. They had no children.[2] Death and succession By 1394, Arundel was again a member of the royal council, and was involved in a quarrel with John of Gaunt, whom he accused in the parliament of that year.[11] Fitzalan further antagonized the King by arriving late for the queen's funeral. Richard II, in a rage, snatched a wand and struck Fitzalan in the face and drew blood. Shortly after that, the King feigned a reconciliation but he was only biding his time for the right moment to strike. Arundel was persuaded by his brother Thomas to surrender himself and to trust to the king's clemency.[11] On 12 July 1397, Richard was arrested for his opposition to Richard II,[2] as well as plotting with Gloucester to imprison the king.[12] He stood trial at Westminster and was attainted.[13] He was beheaded on 21 September 1397 and was buried in the church of the Augustin Friars, Bread Street, London.[2] Tradition holds that his final words were said to the executioner, "Torment me not long, strike off my head in one blow".[14] In October 1400, the attainder was reversed, and Richard's son Thomas succeeded to his father's estates and honours.[2] | FitzAlan, Richard (I8018)

| 4068 | From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Robert de Ros Born about 1182 Died about 1227 Buried Temple Church, London, England Spouse(s) Isabella Issue William de Ros Robert de Ros Father Everard de Ros Mother Roese Trussebut Sir Robert de Ros (died c. 1227) was an Anglo-Norman feudal baron, soldier, and administrator who was one of the Twenty-Five Barons appointed under clause 61 of the 1215 Magna Carta agreement to monitor its observance by King John of England.[1][2] Origins Born about 1182, he was the son and heir of Everard de Ros (died before 1184) and his wife Roese (died 1194), daughter of William Trussebut, of Warter.[1][2] The Ros family, from the village of Roos in Yorkshire, had in 1158 acquired the barony of Helmsley, also in Yorkshire, and before 1189 by gift of King Henry II the barony of Wark on Tweed in Northumberland.[3] Career Left fatherless, his lands were initially in the keeping of the Chief Justiciar of England, Ranulf de Glanvill.[2] In 1191, though under age, he paid a 1000 mark fee to inherit his father's lands.[1] In that year he also married a widow who was an illegitimate daughter of King William I of Scotland.[1][2] Later he inherited from his mother one-third of the Trussebut estates, which included lands near the town of Bonneville-sur-Touques in Normandy, of which he became hereditary bailiff and castellan.[1][2] In 1196, during fighting between King Richard I of England and King Philip II of France, Richard captured a French knight worth a significant ransom and put him in the castle of Bonneville. When the keeper of the castle let the knight escape, an angry Richard had the man hanged and imprisoned Ros, fining him 1200 marks (though he was later let off 275 marks).[1][2] Like many magnates, he had an uneasy relationship with King John after 1199. He witnessed the King's charters, served in his armies, went on diplomatic missions for him (one in 1199 to Ros' father-in-law in Scotland), and on one occasion was reported gambling with him in Ireland. Tension arose in 1205, when John ordered his lands to be seized but later relented.[1] It was possibly then that his younger son was taken as a hostage by the King.[1][2] In 1206 he was given permission to mortgage his lands if during the next three years he went to Jerusalem, as a crusading knight or as an individual pilgrim.[1][2] The permission was renewed in 1207, but his record was marred by the escape that year of another prisoner under his supervision, for which he was fined 300 marks. Back in favour in 1209, he was sent again on a diplomatic mission to Scotland but does not seem to have gone to Palestine,[1] for in 1210 he was serving with John in Ireland.[2] In 1212, on account of him entering a monastic order, John gave custody of his lands to Sir Philip Oldcoates. But he re-entered secular life the next year, when the King made him sheriff of Cumberland and appointed him to a commission investigating grievances in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. In the latter county, he worked for a reconciliation between John and William de Forz, heir to the extensive estates there of Hawise, Countess of Aumale.[1] In October 1213 he was one of the witnesses when John surrendered England to the authority of the Pope and he was one of the twelve guarantors appointed to ensure John kept his promises.[1][2] Throughout the disturbances of 1214 and the first quarter of 1215 he remained loyal to John, being rewarded with royal manors in Cumberland and royal support for the election of his aunt as abbess of Barking Abbey. However he then joined the rebel barons as one of the 25 chosen to enforce observance of the Magna Carta agreement, being appointed by them to control Yorkshire and possibly Northumberland. For this he was excommunicated by the Pope, and John gave his lands to William de Forz.[1] Ordered by John to give up Carlisle Castle, he did so but remained on the rebel side after the death of John in October 1216, supporting Prince Louis even after his elder son was captured by the loyalist side in May 1217. He finally submitted later that year, and regained most of his lands. Intermittent unrest in Yorkshire continued, with fighting in 1220 between his men and those of the sheriff,[1] followed in 1221 with him being summoned to help take and destroy Skipsea Castle during the rebellion of William de Forz.[1][2] In 1225 he was one of the witnesses to the reissue of Magna Carta and by the end of 1226 had re-entered a monastic order,[1][2] possibly the Knights Templar. His Helmsley estates, where he had fortified the castle, then went to his elder son, while Wark, also fortified by him, went to the younger.[2][3] He died that year, or in 1227, and was buried in the Temple Church in London.[1] Benefactions He was a supporter of the Knights Templar, giving them lands in Yorkshire that included Ribston, where they set up a commandery. At Bolton in Northumberland, he founded a leper hospital dedicated to St Thomas Becket,[1] endowing it with extensive lands. He was also a benefactor of Rievaulx Abbey, Newminster Abbey, and Kirkham Priory.[2] Family Early in 1191, at Haddington near Edinburgh, he married Isabella, widow of Robert III de Brus and illegitimate daughter of King William I.[1][2] Her mother was said to be a daughter of Robert Avenel.[citation needed] Their children included: William (died about 1265), of Helmsley, whose wife was named Lucy,[2] and their son was Robert (died 1285).[1] Robert (died about 1270), of Wark, who married Christina,[3] daughter of William Bertram, of Mitford,[citation needed] and their son Robert (died about 1274) was his heir.[3] | de Ros, Magna Charta Surety Robert (I7959)

Although his father died 1176 or 1177, Roger did not succeed to the earldom of Norfolk until 1189 for his claim had been disputed by his stepmother for her sons by Earl Hugh in the reign of Henry II. Richard I confirmed him in his earldom and other honours, and also sent him as an ambassador to France in the same year. Roger inherited his father's office as royal steward. He took part in the negotiations for the release of Richard from prison, and after the king's return to England became a justiciar. During the Revolt of 1173-74, Roger remained loyal to the king while his father sided with the king's rebellious sons. Roger fought at the Battle of Fornham on 17 October 1173, where the royalist force defeated a rebel force led by Robert de Beaumont, 3rd Earl of Leicester.[1] In most of the years of the reign of King John, the earl was frequently with the king or on royal business. Yet Roger was to be one of the leaders of the baronial party which obtained John's assent to Magna Carta, and his name and that of his son and heir Hugh II appear among the twenty-five barons who were to ensure the king's adherence to the terms of that document. The pair were excommunicated by the pope in December 1215, and did not make peace with the regents of John's son Henry III until 1217. Around Christmas 1181, Roger married Ida, apparently Ida de Tosny (or Ida de Toesny),[2] and by her had a number of children including: Hugh Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk who married in 1206/ 1207, Maud, a daughter of William Marshal William Bigod Ralph Bigod Roger Bigod Margery, married William de Hastings Mary Bigod, married Ralph fitz Robert[3] Many historians, including Marc Morris have speculated that the couple had a third daughter, Alice, who married Aubrey de Vere IV, Earl of Oxford as his second wife. If so, the marriage would have been well within the bounds of consanguinity, for the couple would have been quite closely related, a daughter of the second earl of Norfolk being first cousin once removed to the second earl of Oxford. | Bigod, 2nd Earl of Norfolk, Roger (I8067)

He had succeeded to his father's estates in 1529 and in 1538 he came into possession of about 20 manors, mostly on the Norfolk coast, following his mother's death.[1] He married, by 1531, Anne, daughter of Sir Thomas Tyrrell of Gipping, Suffolk, with whom he had three sons and two daughters.[1] He was knighted in 1539.[1] He was a Member of Parliament (MP) for Bramber 1542 and 1545, Thetford March 1553 and Norfolk 1555.[1] He served in the Royal Navy as captain of the ships Peter Longanarde (1545) and Swepestake (1546). He served in France as treasurer of the English army stationed there from November 1549 to April 1550. In 1556 he was appointed Vice-Admiral at Portsmouth. His first mission was to escort the abdicated Emperor Charles V to retirement in Spain, receiving a golden chain from him. His second assignment was to command an English naval expedition against Scotland; he was drowned in August 1557 in battle with a Scots fleet in the Orkney Islands.[1] According to the report of John Southerne, captain of the Gabriel, Clere burnt Kirkwall town on 11 August and on next day entered the Cathedral and brought six cannon on shore to batter the castle. On Friday 13 the force on shore attempting to take the Bishop's Palace was beaten back to sea by 3000 islanders, and 97 men including Clere were drowned.[2] His third and first surviving son, Edward Clere, also became an MP and led an illustrious career.[3] | Clere, Sir John (I8025)

Besides being in the possession of major lands in the Irish counties of Kilkenny and Tipperary, he owned 72 manors in England, making him one of the richest subjects in the realm.[5] In 1509, he was appointed Lord Chamberlain to Catherine of Aragon.[6] He held this post until 1512. Marriage and progeny He married twice: Firstly in 1445 to Anne Hankford (1431-1485), daughter and co-heiress of Sir Richard Hankford (c. 1397 - 1431) of Annery, Monkleigh, Devon, jure uxoris feudal baron of Bampton[7] (grandson of Sir William Hankford (c. 1350 - 1423), Chief Justice of the King's Bench) by his 2nd wife Anne Montagu (d. 1457), a daughter of John Montacute, 3rd Earl of Salisbury (c. 1350 - 1400).[8] By Anne Hankford he had two daughters and co-heiresses who inherited the Butler estates in England: Lady Anne Butler (1455-June 5, 1533), heiress through her mother of Annery,[9] who married firstly Ambrose Cressacre, esquire, by whom she had no issue, and secondly Sir James St Leger (d. 1509), by whom she had two sons, Sir George St Leger, and James St Leger.[10] Lady Margaret Butler (1465-1537), who married Sir William Boleyn, by whom she had six sons and five daughters, including Thomas Boleyn, 1st Earl of Wiltshire, father of Queen Anne Boleyn, second wife of King Henry VIII.[11] Secondly in 1486[citation needed], he married Lora Berkeley (1454-1501), widow successively of John Blount, 3rd Baron Mountjoy (by whom she had two sons and two daughters[12][13][14][15]), and Sir Thomas Montgomery (d. 2 January 1495) of Faulkbourne, Essex, and daughter of Edward Berkeley (d. March 1506) of Beverston Castle, Gloucestershire, by his wife Christian Holt (d.1468), second daughter and coheir of Richard Holt. By his second wife Lora Berkeley, Ormond had one daughter: Elizabeth Butler[16] (d. 1510).[citation needed] Death & succession Ormond died on 3 August 1515 and was buried in the Mercers' Chapel of the Hospital of St Thomas of Acre in the City of London.[17] As he died without male progeny the barony supposedly created in 1488 fell into abeyance. The Earldom devolved to his heir male and distant cousin Piers Butler, 8th Earl of Ormond, 1st Earl of Ossory (1467-1539), the grandson of his first cousin Sir Edmund MacRichard Butler (1420-1464) of Polestown, County Kilkenny, Ireland, a grandson of James Butler, 3rd Earl of Ormond (c. 1359 - 1405) of Gowran Castle in Ireland. | Butler, Sir Thomas (I8060)

He served under Sir John Chandos during the Hundred Years' War, and was created a Knight of the Garter in 1376. He served as Captain of Calais in 1383.[1] Upon the death of his first cousin once removed, John Hastings, 3rd Earl of Pembroke on 30 December 1389, William inherited the lordship of Abergavenny, including Abergavenny Castle.[1] He was summoned to Parliament on 23 July 1392 as "Willilmo Beauchamp de Bergavenny", by which he is held to have become Baron Bergavenny, a barony by writ.[2] In 1399, he was appointed Justiciar of South Wales and Governor of Pembroke.[3] He entailed the castle and Honour of Abergavenny on the issue male of his body, with remainder to his brother Thomas de Beauchamp, 12th Earl of Warwick and his heirs male; his wife enjoyed it in dower until her death in 1435.

He had the second-longest reign in Scottish history before the Act of Union with England in 1707. James VI (reigned 1567-1625) would have the longest. Life William was born circa 1142, during the reign of his grandfather King David I of Scotland. His parents were the King's son Prince Henry and his wife Ada de Warenne. William was around 10 years old when his father died in 1152, making his elder brother Malcolm the heir apparent to their grandfather. From his father William inherited the Earldom of Northumbria. David I died the next year, and William became heir presumptive to the new king, Malcolm IV. In 1157, William lost the Earldom of Northumbria to Henry II of England. Malcolm IV did not live for long, and upon his death on 9 December 1165, at age 24, William ascended the throne. The new monarch was crowned on 24 December 1165. In contrast to his deeply religious, frail brother, William was powerfully built, redheaded, and headstrong. He was an effective monarch whose reign was marred by his ill-fated attempts to regain control of his paternal inheritance of Northumbria from the Anglo-Normans. Traditionally, William is credited with founding Arbroath Abbey, the site of the later Declaration of Arbroath. He was not known as "the Lion" during his own lifetime, and the title did not relate to his tenacious character or his military prowess. It was attached to him because of his flag or standard, a red lion rampant with a forked tail (queue fourchée) on a yellow background. This (with the substitution of a 'double tressure fleury counter-fleury' border instead of an orle) went on to become the Royal Banner of Scotland, still used today but quartered with those of England and of Ireland. It became attached to him because the chronicler John of Fordun called him the "Lion of Justice". William was a key player in the Revolt of 1173-74 against Henry II. In 1174, at the Battle of Alnwick, during a raid in support of the revolt, William recklessly charged the English troops himself, shouting, "Now we shall see which of us are good knights!" He was unhorsed and captured by Henry's troops led by Ranulf de Glanvill and taken in chains to Newcastle, then Northampton, and then transferred to Falaise in Normandy. Henry then sent an army to Scotland and occupied it. As ransom and to regain his kingdom, William had to acknowledge Henry as his feudal superior and agree to pay for the cost of the English army's occupation of Scotland by taxing the Scots. The cost was equal to 40,000 Scottish Merks (£26,000).[3] The church of Scotland was also subjected to that of England. This he did by signing the Treaty of Falaise. He was then allowed to return to Scotland. In 1175 he swore fealty to Henry II at York Castle. The humiliation of the Treaty of Falaise triggered a revolt in Galloway which lasted until 1186, and prompted construction of a castle at Dumfries. In 1179, meanwhile, William and his brother David personally led a force northwards into Easter Ross, establishing two further castles, north of the Beauly and Cromarty Firths;[4] one on the Black Isle at Ederdour; and the other at Dunkeath, near the mouth of the Cromarty Firth opposite Cromarty.[5] The aim was to discourage the Norse Earls of Orkney from expanding beyond Caithness. A further rising in 1181 involved Donald Meic Uilleim, descendant of King Duncan II. Donald briefly took over Ross; not until his death (1187) was William able to reclaim Donald's stronghold of Inverness. Further royal expeditions were required in 1197 and 1202 to fully neutralise the Orcadian threat. The Treaty of Falaise remained in force for the next fifteen years. Then the English king Richard the Lionheart, needing money to take part in the Third Crusade, agreed to terminate it in return for 10,000 silver marks (£6,500), on 5 December 1189. William attempted to purchase Northumbria from Richard in 1194, as he had a strong claim over it. However, his offer of 15,000 marks (£9,750) was rejected due to wanting the castles within the lands, which Richard was not willing to give.[6] Despite the Scots regaining their independence, Anglo-Scottish relations remained tense during the first decade of the 13th century. In August 1209 King John decided to flex the English muscles by marching a large army to Norham (near Berwick), in order to exploit the flagging leadership of the ageing Scottish monarch. As well as promising a large sum of money, the ailing William agreed to his elder daughters marrying English nobles and, when the treaty was renewed in 1212, John apparently gained the hand of William's only surviving legitimate son, and heir, Alexander, for his eldest daughter, Joan. Despite continued dependence on English goodwill, William's reign showed much achievement. He threw himself into government with energy and diligently followed the lines laid down by his grandfather, David I. Anglo-French settlements and feudalization were extended, new burghs founded, criminal law clarified, the responsibilities of justices and sheriffs widened, and trade grew. Arbroath Abbey was founded (1178), and the bishopric of Argyll established (c.1192) in the same year as papal confirmation of the Scottish church by Pope Celestine III. William died in Stirling in 1214 and lies buried in Arbroath Abbey. His son, Alexander II, succeeded him as king, reigning from 1214 to 1249. Marriage and issue Due to the terms of the Treaty of Falaise, Henry II had the right to choose William's bride. As a result, William married Ermengarde de Beaumont, a great-granddaughter of King Henry I of England, at Woodstock Palace in 1186. Edinburgh Castle was her dowry. The marriage was not very successful, and it was many years before she bore him an heir. William and Ermengarde's children were: Margaret (1193-1259), married Hubert de Burgh, 1st Earl of Kent. Isabel (1195-1253), married Roger Bigod, 4th Earl of Norfolk. Alexander II of Scotland (1198-1249). Marjorie (1200 - 17 November 1244),[7] married Gilbert Marshal, 4th Earl of Pembroke. Out of wedlock, William I had numerous illegitimate children, their descendants being among those who would lay claim to the Scottish crown. By an unnamed daughter of Adam de Hythus: Margaret, married Eustace de Vesci, Lord of Alnwick.[8] By Isabel d'Avenel: Robert de London[9] Henry de Galightly, father of Patrick Galithly one of the competitors to the crown in 1291[10] Ada Fitzwilliam (c.1164-1200), married Patrick I, Earl of Dunbar (c.1152-1232)[10] Aufrica, married William de Say, and whose great-great-grandson Roger de Mandeville was one of the competitors to the crown in 1291[10] Isabella Mac William married Robert III de Brus then Robert de Ros (died 1227), Magna Carta Suretor[11] | William I King of Scotland (I7960)

| 4076 | From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Arms of Sir William de Bohun, 1st Earl of Northampton, KG William de Bohun, 1st Earl of Northampton, KG (c. 1312 - 16 September 1360) was an English nobleman and military commander. He was the fifth son of Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford and Elizabeth of Rhuddlan. He had a twin brother, Edward. His maternal grandparents were Edward I of England and his first Queen consort Eleanor of Castile. William de Bohun assisted at the arrest of Roger Mortimer in 1330, allowing Edward III to take power. After this, he was a trusted friend and commander of the king and he participated in the renewed wars with Scotland.[1] In 1332, he received many new properties: Hinton and Spaine in Berkshire; Great Haseley, Ascott, Deddington, Pyrton and Kirtlington in Oxfordshire; Wincomb in Buckinghamshire; Longbenington in Lincolnshire; Kneesol in Nottinghamshire; Newnsham in Gloucestershire, Wix in Essex, and Bosham in Sussex. In 1335, he married Elizabeth de Badlesmere (1313 - 8 June 1356). Her parents Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere, and Margaret de Clare had both turned against Edward II the decade before. Elizabeth and William were granted some of the property of Elizabeth's first husband, who had also been Mortimer's son and heir. William was created Earl of Northampton in 1337, one of the six earls created by Edward III to renew the ranks of the higher nobility. Since de Bohun was a younger son, and did not have an income suitable to his rank, he was given an annuity until suitable estates could be found. In 1349 he became a Knight of the Garter. He served as High Sheriff of Rutland from 1349 until his death in 1360.[2] Campaigns in Flanders, Brittany, Scotland, Victor at Sluys and Crecy In 1339 he accompanied the King to Flanders. He served variously in Brittany and in Scotland, and was present at the great English victories at Sluys and was a commander at Crécy. His most stunning feat was commanding an English force to victory against a much bigger French force at the Battle of Morlaix in 1342. Some of the details are in dispute, but it is clear that he made good use of pit traps, which stopped the French cavalry. Renowned Diplomat In addition to being a warrior, William was also a renowned diplomat. He negotiated two treaties with France, one in 1343 and one in 1350. He was also charged with negotiating in Scotland for the freedom of King David Bruce, King of Scots, who was held prisoner by the English. Senior naval command From the 8 March 1352 to 5 March 1355 he was appointed Admiral of the Northern Seas, Fleet. Issue 1.

She was a co-heiress of her brother Giles de Badlesmere, 2nd Baron Badlesmere. At the age of eight she was sent to the Tower of London along with her mother, Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere and her four siblings after the former maltreated Queen consort Isabella by ordering an assault upon her and refusing her admittance to Leeds Castle. Elizabeth was born at Castle Badlesmere, Kent, England in 1313 to Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere and Margaret de Clare. She was the third of four daughters. She had one younger brother, Giles de Badlesmere, 2nd Baron Badlesmere, who married Elizabeth Montagu, but did not have any children. Her paternal grandparents were Guncelin de Badlesmere and Joan FitzBernard, and her maternal grandparents were Thomas de Clare, Lord of Thomond and Juliana FitzGerald of Offaly. Elizabeth's father was hanged, drawn and quartered on 14 April 1322 for having participated in the Earl of Lancaster's rebellion against King Edward II of England; and her mother imprisoned in the Tower of London until 3 November 1322. She had been arrested the previous October for ordering an assault upon Queen consort Isabella after refusing her admittance to Leeds Castle, where Baron Badlesmere held the post of governor.[1] Elizabeth and her siblings were also sent to the Tower along with their mother.[2] She was eight years old at the time and had been married for five years to her first husband; although the marriage had not yet been consummated due to her young age. In 1328, Elizabeth's brother Giles obtained a reversal of his father's attainder, and he succeeded to the barony as the 2nd Baron Badlesmere. Elizabeth, along with her three sisters, was a co-heiress of Giles, who had no children by his wife. Upon his death in 1338, the barony fell into abeyance. The Badlesmere estates were divided among the four sisters, and Elizabeth's share included the manors of Drayton in Sussex, Kingston and Erith in Kent, a portion of Finmere in Oxfordshire as well as property in London.[3] Marriages and issue On 27 June 1316, when she was just three years old, Elizabeth married her first husband Sir Edmund Mortimer (died 16 December 1331)[4] eldest son and heir of Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March and Joan de Geneville. The marriage contract was made on 9 May 1316, and the particulars of the arrangement between her father and prospective father-in-law are described in Welsh historian R. R. Davies' Lords and Lordship in the British Isles in the late Middle Ages. Lord Badlesmere paid Roger Mortimer the sum of £2000, and in return Mortimer endowed Elizabeth with five rich manors for life and the reversion of other lands.[5] The marriage, which was not consummated until many years afterward, produced two sons: Roger Mortimer, 2nd Earl of March (11 November 1328 Ludlow Castle- 26 February 1360), married Philippa Montagu, daughter of William Montagu, 1st Earl of Salisbury and Catherine Grandison, by whom he had issue, including Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March). John Mortimer (died young) By the order of King Edward III, Elizabeth's father-in-law, the Earl of Mortimer was hanged in November 1330 for having assumed royal power, along with other crimes. His estates were forfeited to the Crown, therefore Elizabeth's husband did not succeed to the earldom and died a year later. Elizabeth's dower included the estates of Maelienydd and Comot Deuddwr in the Welsh Marches.[6] In 1335, just over three years after the death of Edmund Mortimer, Elizabeth married secondly William de Bohun, 1st Earl of Northampton (1312-1360), fifth son of Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford and Elizabeth of Rhuddlan. He was a renowned military commander and diplomat. Their marriage was arranged to end the mutual hostility which had existed between the Bohun and Mortimer families.[7] A papal dispensation was required for their marriage as de Bohun and her first husband, Sir Edmund Mortimer were related in the third and fourth degrees of consanguinity by dint of their common descent from Enguerrand de Fiennes, Seigneur de Fiennes. Elizabeth and de Bohun received some Mortimer estates upon their marriage.[8] By her second marriage, Elizabeth had two more children:[9] Humphrey de Bohun, 7th Earl of Hereford 6th Earl of Essex, 2nd Earl of Northampton (24 March 1342 - 16 January 1373), after 9 September 1359, married Joan Fitzalan, Countess of Hereford, by whom he had two daughters, Eleanor de Bohun, Duchess of Gloucester, and Mary de Bohun, wife of Henry of Bolingbroke (who later reigned as King Henry IV). Elizabeth de Bohun (c.1350- 3 April 1385), on 28 September 1359, married Richard Fitzalan, 11th Earl of Arundel, by whom she had seven children including Thomas Fitzalan, 12th Earl of Arundel, Elizabeth FitzAlan, and Joan FitzAlan, Baroness Bergavenny. In 1348, the earldom of March was restored to her eldest son Roger who succeeded as the 2nd Earl. Death Elizabeth de Badlesmere died on 8 June 1356, aged about forty-three years old. She was buried in Black Friars Priory, London. She left a will dated 31 May 1356, requesting burial at the priory. Mention of Elizabeth's burial is found in the records (written in Latin) of Walden Abbey which confirm that she was buried in Black Friars: | Badlesmere, Elizabeth (I8011)

Lawrence Southwick was found to be a member of the First Church of Salem and was released to be dealt with by the leaders of that church. Cassandra remained in jail for seven weeks and was fined forty shillings for possessing a paper written by their two visitors. The paper was considered heretical by Governor John Endicott and others. In 1658 the Southwicks and their son Josiah were put in jail for twenty weeks for being Quakers. In 1659, the two youngest of the Southwick's children, a daughter named Provided Southwick and a son named Daniel Southwick, were sentenced to be sold as slaves in the Barbadoes for unpaid fines - fines related to their being Quakers. The sentence was not carried out, however. The entire family went to Shelter Island, New York together. In 1660 Lawrence and his wife Cassandra died within three days of each other on Shelter Island. Legacy A plaque in Southwick Hall at University of Massachusetts Lowell commemorates "Royal Southwick, Lowell's anti-slavery Quaker senator and manufacturer and a descendent of Lawrence and Cassandra Southwick who were despoiled, imprisoned, starved, whipped, banished from," Massachusetts Bay Colony "and persecuted to death in the year 1660 for being Quakers." | Southwick, Lawrence (I7356)

| 4080 | From Wikipedia: Mills House is a house in Springer, New Mexico, in Colfax County, New Mexico, that was built in 1877. It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1970. The locals have dubbed it the "Clegg Mansion”, after Luke and Myrtle Clegg who owned and lived in the house for several decades beginning in about 1915. The original owner, Melvin Whitson Mills, was an attorney, politician, and businessman who was one of the founders of Springer NM. He needed a home large enough for him and his wife, his parents, and five adopted children. Mills lost the house and land as a result of bankruptcy in 1905. It is a three-story 32-room adobe house on a rise near Cimarron Creek on the edge of Springer.

| 4082 | From writeup on wikitree at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Canfield-600: MARY CANFIELD was born in abt 1622. He married Mary Canfield in 1643 in Milford, Connecticut. [1] [2] They had four children in 10 years. [3] She then married second JOHN LANE about 1660, in Milford, Connecticut. [4] She died before February 22, 1680, the date her estate's inventory was taken, in Milford, Connecticut, at the age of abt 58, and was buried there. [5] 'From The Ancestry and Descendants of Frederick Tracy Camp... page 2 At Branford on 15 Nov. 1660 the testimony of John Burwell [of Milford] was taken concerning a stray horse then in possession of Josias Ward of Branford demanded by John Nash of New Haven. He stated that "myself and my Cosen Edward Camp who was then living, this winter three years past, saw a colt with John Nash's mare." This was John Burwell, who must have been near Edward Camp in age, so the term "cousin" was probably used in the sense of first cousin rather than nephew. However, it may have been Edward's wife who was the actual cousin of John Burwell. She was MARY______, and her will made "Brother Canfield" an overseer. While this may have meant brother in the church, it is quite possible that she was a sister of Thomas Canfield of Milford. The Canfields, like the Burwells, were from Hitchin, Hertfordshire. If the father of John Burwell was uncle of Thomas Canfield and of Mary wife of Edward Camp, or if his mother was their aunt, these expression of relationship would be explained. Edward's widow Mary married second, 4 Apr. 1662, being called "widow Camp that lived at Chestnut Hill," John Lane of Milford. He was a widower, with a son Isaac and daughter Sarah, wife of Jobanah Gunn.

| 4086 | From: findagrave.com: Birth: Oct. 30, 1591, England Death: Oct. 3, 1677 Windsor Hartford County Connecticut, USA John Bissell, purportedly b. or bapt. on Oct. 30, 1591 in England. His gravestone indirectly says he was b. on or after Oct. the 4th 1591. He d. at Windsor, Conn. Oct. 3, 1677, Æ 86. He was twice married, but the name of each wife remains unknown. Stile's first version of his "History of Ancient Windsor" (1859) contains a poor outline of the structure of the Bissell family of Windsor, Conn. He gave John Bissell only one wife in this version. Savage, Hinman, Cutter and others also misrepresent the initial Bissell family structure. Stiles' more familiar second version of his "Ancient Windsor," in two volumes (1891 and 1893), does not correct the errors made forty years earlier in 1859. He continued to give the immigrant only one wife in Vol. II (1893 Genealogies). However, in Vol. I (1891 History) he added an obscure reference apparently contained in the 1662 deed to son Nathaniel of his housing at present-day East Windsor that proves the immigrant had two wives. John Bissell, the immigrant, had six known children, all by his first wife who d. of record at Windsor, Conn. May 21, 1641. According to the Matthew Grant Records, Grant was aware only one child born to the immigrant at Windsor, and as only John's youngest son is recorded at Windsor prior to the death of his first wife, there were no children by his unnamed second wife. Some writers give the first wife the name of Mary and still others claim she was Mary Drake. But, neither variation has any proof and it is quite likely Mary Drake has been confused with the married name of John Bissell's daughter Mary (Bissell) Drake. On this point, in 1969 the eminent genealogist, Donald Lines Jacobus, wrote: • May I try to set the record straight once again? [The immigrant] John1 Bissell [Sr.] did indeed die in 1677; there is no authority that I know of for calling his wife Mary Drake. A nameless wife, perhaps the mother of his children, died in 1641; he thereafter had another nameless wife, whose death, as wife of John "Sr.", was recorded in 1665...(NEHGS Register, 123:278-279.) John Bissell's second wife d. of record at Windsor Mar. 29, 1665 ["the wife of John Biffell senor dyed"]. Per Stiles in 1891, in 1662 when John Bissell was in excess of 70 years old he gave to youngest son Nathaniel his housing at present-day East Windsor: • "in part of his portion of his marriage," a part of his land and house "at Scantuck," on the E. side of the Conn. River with provision for the remainder at his father's death...Nathaniel doubtless resided on the river bank, below the Scantic, from the time of his marriage. This home was garrisoned at the time of King Philip's War. John Bissell, Senr, evidently died here, having made provision for his second wife, stipulating that Nathaniel should give "his now present mother-in-law [i.e., stepmother], if she is willing and choose to have the use the parlor for her abode," it should be granted. (History of Ancient Windsor, 1891, Vol. I, p. 152.) The aforementioned death of the immigrant's second wife has been consistently confused as the date that the wife of John Bissell, Jr., died. This caused Stiles to give John junior an unnamed second wife as the mother of his youngest children. John Bissell junior's wife, Israel Mason, outlived her husband. This error is more fully outlined in the Israel (Mason) Bissell memorial page. The earliest in which the immigrant John Bissell appears at Windsor is in the record of youngest son Nathaniel's birth at Windsor, on Sept. 24, 1640. The earliest in which he appears in the Conn. Public Records is as a juryman in Sept. 1641. He was a juryman for numerous sessions of the Particular Court during the mid-1640s until he was elected a deputy to the Conn. Court from Windsor in Sept. 1648. He served as a deputy from Windsor almost continuously until 1656. While some claim John held the title of Capt., he was relieved of the requirement for military training by the Conn. Court in April 1645, when he was about 53 years old. Unless one wishes to attach the title of Capt. to a public ferryman, there is no record of any military rank for the immigrant in the Windsor or Conn. records. Also, none of his sons reached the rank of Capt. during their lifetime. On Jan. 5, 1641/2 Windsor was provided the right to operate a ferry across the Conn. River. However, not until Jan. 1648/9 was John Bissell, Sr. granted exclusive right to operate the Windsor ferry for the ensuing seven years (Conn. PR, Vol. I, p. 174-5). This right was extended annually beginning in May 1656 until eldest son John Bissell, Jr. was granted exclusive rights to operate the ferry in Mar. 1657/8 for the ensuing 10 years. This was followed in May 1677 by the immigrant's youngest son Nathaniel granted the right of operation for the ensuing 7 years. Manwaring's abstract of John Bissell's estate, citing Hartford Probate District vol. III, p. 194: • John Bissell of Windsor.

| 4091 | From: http://www.nps.gov/slbe/planyourvisit/shaldacabin.htm The Shalda cabin is located at the intersection on M-22 about 7.7 miles past the intersection with M-109 in Glen Arbor. Just before you get to CR-669, you will see Shalda cabin on your right standing alone in a field. This cabin is believed to have been built in the mid-1850s by Bohemian immigrants who settled in the North Unity and Shalda Corners area. North Unity was located near where Shalda Creek empties into LakeMichigan a couple of miles west of the GoodHarbor dock (located at the end of County Road 651). Several families moved here from Chicago in 1855, and because there was no time for each family to stake their homestead claim before winter set in, they built a barracks 150 feet by 20 feet with rooms partitioned off for each family. The village thrived during the next few years as more people arrived. It had a schoolhouse, sawmill, and store. In 1859, it was awarded a post office, and John Shalda built a gristmill on the Lake Michigan outlet of the creek that bears his name. In 1871 (the same year as the Chicago Fire) the village was destroyed by fire, so the villagers moved inland to Shalda Corners (M-22 & CR 669). This cabin was in poor condition when the Lakeshore obtained the property. It was surrounded by brush and weeds and the lower logs were rotted. Significant reconstruction work has been done to restore the cabin to its current condition. The cabin shows early log construction techniques of the Czech and German immigrants who settled in North Unity and Shalda Corners. They had brought methodology for building cabins from hand-hewn timbers from their native Black Forest of Central Europe. Note the dovetail notched corners of the logs, and that the logs were hewn to make them flat and improve the fit between logs. The Kraitz cabin <http://www.nps.gov/slbe/planyourvisit/kraitzcabin.htm> and North Unity School <http://www.nps.gov/slbe/planyourvisit/pounityschool.htm> were built in a similar style at about the same time. | Shalda, Joseph (I4866)

| 4094 | From: W. L. Irish - David Irish and family settled in Groveland Twp. Oakland County, Michigan in 1837. He purchased 80 acres for each of his 8 sons and 40 acres for each of his 2 daughters. One of his sons, Norman, brought a wife and three children with him to Michigan, and was killed a number of years later by a kick of a horse. Two of his sons, Damon and George, were living in the same neighborhood in 1877. Damon Irish of Groveland Twp., paid a bounty of $14 for a volunteer to serve in the Civil War in 1864. (Note: The book is in error on the relationship of George and Damon. George and Damon were his grand children, sons of Norman.) Oakland County real estate records show an entry for David Irish of Washington County, New York purchasing land dated 13 June 1836. David died intestate (with no will) in Brandon, Oakland, Michigan on 8 Jan 1855. His probate paperwork stated there were 8 heirs, although only Manley and Liberty were specifically mentioned. The probate petition ended up being dismissed when the heirs agreed among themselves on a settlement. | Irish, David (I6393)

| 4095 | From” Collver/Culver Genealogy” compiled by Frances McIntosh 1970: John is mentioned as the father of Edward Culver’s wife Ann Ellis and he is also mentioned as one of the signers of “The Dedham covenant” (also called “The Dedham Compact”) in 1636. Ann’s mother is listed as Susan Lumber/Lombard/Lumbert/and others. I also found this interesting story online which mentions his name at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Dedham,_Massachusetts,_1635%E2%80%931792 Tiot In 1635 there were rumors in the Massachusetts Bay Colony that a war with the local Indians was impending and a fear arose that the few, small, coastal communities that existed were in danger of attack. This, in addition to the belief that the few towns that did exist were too close together, prompted the Massachusetts General Court to establish two new inland communities. The towns of Dedham and Concord, Massachusetts were thus established to relieve the growing population pressure and to place communities between the larger, more established coastal towns and the Indians further west. The grant from the colony gave them over "two hundred square miles of virgin wilderness, complete with lakes, hills, forests, meadows, Indians, and a seemingly endless supply of rocks and wolves." Aside from "several score Indians, who were quickly persuaded to relinquish their claims for a small sum, the area was free of human habitation." The original grant stretched from the border of Boston to the Rhode Island border. Dedham was settled in the summer of 1636 by "about thirty families excised from the broad ranks of the English middle classes" traveling up the Charles River from Roxbury and Watertown traveling in rough canoes carved from felled trees. These original settlers, including Edward Alleyne, John Everard, John Gay and John Ellis "paddled up the narrow, deeply flowing stream impatiently turning curve after curve around Nonantum until, emerging from the tall forest into the open, they saw in the sunset glow a golden river twisting back and forth through broad, rich meadows." In search of the best land available to them they continued on but the river took many turns, so that it was a burden the continual turning about.... West, east, and north we turned on that same meadow and progressed none, so that I, rising in the boat, saw the river flowing just across a bit of grass, in a place where I knew we had passed through nigh an hour before. "Moore," said Miles then to me, "the river is like its Master, our good King Charles, of sainted memory, it promises overmuch, but gets you nowhere." They first landed where the river makes its 'great bend,' on what is today Ames Street, near the Dedham Community House and the Allin Congregational Church in Dedham Square. The Algonquins living in the area called the place Tiot. Tiot, which means "land surrounded by water," was later used to describe the village of South Dedham, today the separate town of Norwood. In "its first years, the town was more than a place to live; it was a spiritual community." Many of the other yeomen settling the new Dedham in the Massachusetts Bay Colony came from Suffolk, in eastern England. This group included elders Nathan Aldis, George Barber, Henry Brock, Eleazor Lusher, Robert Ware, John Thurston, Francis and Henry Chickering and Anthony, Corneileus and Joshua Fisher. I have not yet found any source records on John Ellis. | Ellis, John (I4341)
