Tar Heel of the Week
H. T. Bailey of Tarboro
By Roy Parker, Jr.
"Tarboro is a proud old town, it takes about 15 years to br
eak in," says H. T. Bailey.
With a grin, Bailey admits: "I was a newcomer until I got e
lected mayor."
The 50-year-old Bailey, a native of Hobgood just down the r
oad from proud Tarboro, "broke in" fast as the community'
s mayor, and his administration coincided with a great lea
p forward in Tarboro's economy.
Proud of the record, although giving major credit to Tarbor
o's new generation of leaders, Bailey is out of the publi
c position right now.
"I've got four children to send through college.  I'm goin
g to lay out of politics for awhile, but I'll be back in"
, he promises.
Bailey means he will stick to business as the sales directo
r of Southern Concrete Products Company of Rocky Mount, o
f Stevenson Brick and Block of New Bern, and Goldsboro Bloc
k Company.  All three firms provide building materials fo
r schools, hospitals, and other big public projects in east
ern North Carolina.
MAIN INTEREST
Moving from the job of helping Tarboro meet the challenge
s of a new day to the job of working for his children's edu
cation, Bailey's main interest now is in East Carolina Coll
ege.
He has no less thatn three sons at the Greenville instituti
on, and most of his conversations these days is apt to be a
bout the activities on the Greenville campus.  One son, Bil
l, is slated to be the ECC football team's first string ful
lback this fall.  Another, Herbert Jr., has one more year a
t ECC, and then plans  a career as an English professor.  R
eynolds Bailey, an ECC freshman, wants to be an accountant
.  Back home in Tarboro, daughter Sally Gray is a junior a
t Tarboro High.
Typical of the man-of-all-talents type of community leader
s who are pushing their towns to meet the need of the moder
n day, Bailey has been active in the entire spectrum of com
munity activities.
Industry-hunting was the main effort during his tenure as m
ayor, from 159 until last year.  Tarboro's first families
, men whose wealth was made from the braod tabaccolands o
f the Roanoke valley area, turned their outlook toward th
e future, and the city which had been known for its ancien
t charm burst into a frenzy of modern activity.
LANDED INDUSTRY.
In two years, Tarboro landed three big industries, adding n
early 1,000 jobs to its economy.  The community set up an i
ndustrial development organization that has been the envy o
f its neighbors, staffed by a $15,000-a-year executive.  Ba
iley as mayor and longtime chamber and merchants associatio
n leader, was in the thick of the industry-hunting activiti
es.
He is proud that Tarboro has pulled itself up by its own bo
otstraps.  "We did it all with local capital," he says, an
d gives full credit to the enlightening willingness to tak
e a chance of the community's wealthier citizens who coul
d have continued in their old ways.
"There were some who held Tarboro back, but they are on th
e go now," he says.
Bailey credits his wife, school teacher Sally Gray Hargrov
e Bailey, with "pushing me into these jobs."  Whoever is re
sponsible Tarboro folks say Bailey was one of the first "ne
wcomers" to preach the line that Tarboro needed to keep u
p with the times.
Just after World War II, he headed the chamber of commerce
.  He organized the local Jaycees in 1947 and was its firs
t president.  That same year, he helped organize the Tarbor
o High School band.  He worked on the board of the Tarbor
o federal housing project, one of eastern North Carolina'
s first public housing programs.  The project provided 10
0 housing units, 50 for Negroes.
PENCHANT FOR POLITICS.
His penchant for politics came naturally, too.  Bailey's fa
ther is still active in Hal

The following was a newspaper article from The Rocky Mount
, N.C. Telegram, Sunday December 13, 1959.:
During a public ceremony last Wednesday, the head of the N
C Medical Care Commission handed Walter Clark Hargrove a li
cense to operate Edgecombe General Hospital.
The document, giving official permission to open the firs
t county-owned hospital in Edgecombe's history, was a miles
tone for Hargrove and the people of the county.
As chairman of the Board of Commissioner for 23 years, he h
as had a strong role in shaping the county's future.  As he
ad of government, he has, in turn, seen advancements and se
tbacks.  He regards the new hospital as a definite advancem
ent.
Soon, the new medical center will be regarded as just anoth
er working part that makes Edgecombe a functioning unit.  H
argrove and the commissioners will be busy with other probl
ems which in their time and place, will be just as necessar
y as the hospital.
With the voters' permission and they have never turned hi
m down, Walter Hargrove will serve five more years.  Befor
e he steps down he wants to see a new headquarter for the c
ounty.
First it was a county nursing home, then a hospital and no
w a courthouse.
Walter Hargrove has spent all of his 68 years in Edgecome C
ounty.  He has held public office of one kind or another fo
r 26 years.  He has seen the county break its shell of aris
tocracy, at least to a degree, and emerge as a working unit.
Though he owns and sees to the farming of 1500 acres, the c
hairman feels the need for diversification.  There is no an
swer to the farmer's dilemma, he says, as long as there ar
e too many farmers producing more and more each year.
He was born at a crossroads called Logsboro in the north o
f the county.  He attended Wilkinson Academy, that once sto
od on Tarboro's Common.  He also studied at Massey Busines
s College in Richmond, Va.  He worked first for the Pinetop
s Bank for a year and a half.  He spent seven years as an E
astern Carolina Railroad conductor, and another stretch a
s a yardmaster for the Atlantic Coast Line.
In 1916, he married Helen Edwards, of Spring Hope.  She gav
e him two children, Walter Jr. and a daughter who is now Mr
s. Herbert Bailey (Sally Gray Hargrove), before her death i
n 1942.
In 1919, he began a small mercantile house in Tarboro.  Dur
ing WW II, he opened a hardware store here, but both busine
sses have been discontinued.
Editorial from The Rocky Mount, N.C. Telegram, Tues, July 2
6, 1960:
Leadership is Eternal
Last week,  Edgecombe citizens closed a chapter in their hi
story that began in the depths of The Great Depression an
d ended in the throes of the county's rebirth.
Taken from the scene was a leader who held the reins of cou
nty government 24 years.  But as the county mourned the los
s of Walter Clark Hargrove, it found new leadership to guid
e it into what could be an era of unprecedented progress
.  That is as it should be, for leadership is, and must b
e an eternal quality that flows from man to man.
Since he was elected to the Board of Commissioners and pick
ed as its chairman in 1932, Walter Hargrove had become a fi
xture wherever important decisions were made.  An intellige
nt, patient man, he was beloved for his ability to mix a wo
rking knowledge of human nature with keen administrative in
sight.  A numbness spread over the county when he was stric
ken suddenly at 68.
It was Walter Hargrove who did things in the county.  Whe
n he was serving as Tarboro's mayor, 1928-31, he pushed a p
rogram to continue municipal production of electricity.  H
e converted the town's plant from coal to diesel engines an
d the plant showed a $60,000 profit  at the end of a year
.  As a commissioner, he immediately launched a drive to pr
ovide a new nursing home for the aged.  In 1935, the new fa
cility was a reality.
His third dream for the people of Edgecombe

"Duncan and Sally lived in a two story white house on a pla
ntation on the old Tarborough to Raleigh Road.  It is no
w a part of the city of Rocky Mount and the road is now cal
led Cokey Road.  He lived in the same area as his mother an
d grandfather.
The eldest son, Samuel, who married Lucinda Killibrew, bibl
e records were in Vol. 3, No. 1, page 12.
It is interesting to note that two of Duncan's daughters ma
rried brothers.  Martha married Robert Stringer Braswell an
d Mary married Benjamin S. Braswell.  The Braswells are a v
ery prominent family in Edgecombe and Nash Counties.  I hav
e not traced their line, nor any of the other children.
The relatives that I know living in Rocky Mount today are
: Mrs. S. L. Daughtridge (Lucy Cummings) and William Hadden
, both of Rocky Mount and Mrs. William F. Clay, Greensboro
, NC.  Her farther was son of Robert Gray, son of Samuel."
---Mae Krider Hargrove Pope
Duncan was 6' 4".
He was shot down on the town hall steps by a slave.  The sl
ave was hanged. (as told by Sally Hargrove Bailey)
The 1860 Census shows the following on Duncan:
He had the following slaves:
70 female, 30 f, 20 m, 18 m, 19 f, 17 f, 17 m, 15 m, 12 f
, 14 m, and 3 slave houses.
15,000 real property and 12,000 in personal property.

My aunt Ramona (Ramona Gray Bailey Rose), wrote the followi
ng about our Bailey side of the family:
"Our folks were born and reared near Bethel, N.C.  Mama wa
s the daughter of Sally and Edward Cherry, and Daddy was th
e son of Annie and Cyrus Bailey.  Mama and Daddy united i
n a solid marriage on December 19, 1906 as a result of bein
g classmate sweethearts.  He was nineteen and she was eight
een.  Daddy was affiliated with the Atlantic Coastline Rail
road as a telegraph agent in Conetoe, NC.  On October 23, 1
907 Big Brother (Linwood Jr.), their first child, was bor
n in Conetoe.  Some time later the railroad transferred hi
m to Port Norfolk, which is now called Portsmouth.  While l
iving in Virginia, Mama became very ill with typhoid fever
.  She was one of the fortunate ones to survive because s
o many others did not during that wicked epidemic.  Mama wa
s always a courageous lady and fought a good fight to overc
ome this problem  Sister (Mabel Cherry) was born while the
y were residing in Portsmouth.
A few years later the railroad transferred Daddy to Hobgood
, NC.  He continued to work as a telegraph agent for some t
ime, but Daddy was on the night shift and he could not slee
p well in the day time so he resigned and went into busines
s for himself.  He did some speculating--purchased some sma
ll farms, bought and sold logs and I've heard him say he ev
en shipped some of thje finer logs to Europe.  Daddy bough
t some dry goods stores in Hobgood and also the Hobgood Hot
el.
The Lord blessed him financially.  Our father was a humbl
e man and always grateful for his blessings and he use to s
ay oftern that Mama spent the money wisely and each additio
nal child motivated him to provide more.  He was a very mod
est man about his success and did not take any credit for h
imself.  Such a fine provider and Mama was always supportiv
e.
Well, by now you know there are other Bailey children in th
e picture other than Big Brother and Sister.  Along came He
rbert, and there was Milton, then Ruby, plus Charlie, nex
t "E", baby Ronald, and there's Clayton, and also Romona
.  They had purchased a two story house and as the family g
rew I understand they moved the home place bak some  to enl
arge the front yard and the house.  A parlor, sun parlor, c
arport, screened-in back porch and two additional rooms adj
oining the back porch were added.  There was an apple tre
e and a cherry tree on the south side of the house.  Have y
ou ever tasted an apple from a Hogbood tree?  Was delectibl
e!  A playhouse was built on the north side including elect
ric lights.  When we sat down to eat a meal after the bless
ing was asked we were exposed to different meats--like Hobg
ood frog legs, bird, squirrel, rabbit, venison, oysters, ra
inbow trout, and home grown chickes--of course, Hobgood sty
le.  With this many children dining together, sometimes w
e had several meats to please everyone.  Kinda special to e
njoy good food with that many relatives on a regular basis
.  The Waltons just thought they had it made!

1855 - 1923 Robert Henry Hargrove 68 68 Name Prefix:<NPFX> Dr.
"Robert Henry Hargrove, M.D. was born on a farm about fiv
e miles from Tarboro, N.C.  He attended high school in Tarb
oro taught by Frank S. Wilkerson  and received his academi
c training at Trinity College (Duke University).  He gradua
ted in medicine at the University of Maryland in 1877.  H
e did post-graduate work in the Bellevue Hospital Medical C
ollege, N.Y., giving special attention to surgical work.
After graduation he practice medicine in Rocky Mount, N.C
. and later moved to Robersonville, N.C. to make his home a
nd his contribution to the common good of the community an
d its people.
Dr. Hargrove's practice was in the "horse and buggy days,
" which saw him at his busiest with four horses.  He ofte
n drove them double on long trips, which extended over a ra
dius about 15 miles.  For many years he was the only docto
r between Williamston and Tarboro, and Hamilton and Greenvi
lle.
One of the incidents which his friends loved to hear him re
late concerned the time htat his horses jumped the bridge a
nd started upstream at the crossin of what is now known a
s Sam Everett's Creek. One of his closer calls happend whe
n attacked at Collie Swamp, although he was not hurt in th
e affray.
Dr. Hargrove was active in civic and fraternal affairs of t
he community.  He was a member of the Odd Fellows, Kappa Si
gma social fraternity, N.C. Medical Society of the United S
tates and Martin County Medical Society.  He served as th
e first president of the Martin County Medical Society whe
n it was formed in April 29, 1904.  he was also a member o
f other professional organizations.
He was an active member of the First Christian Church, serv
ing as chairman of the board for several years and as a Sun
day School teacher.  He helped to build every church that w
as built in the surrounding communites from the time he too
k up his residence there to the time of his death.
Dr. Hargrove served as a director of the Bank of obersonvil
le and was one of its early presidents.  He also served a
s President of the Robersonville Tobacco Warehouse Compan
y in the early 1900's.
Among the first in the Robersonville community, he built th
e first  brick store and laid the first concrete sidewalk
.  He owned the first automobile in Martin County.  This li
ttel red two passenger aubomobile created quite some excite
ment in its day.  It was shipped in by freight and a man ca
me all the way from Chicago to teach the doctor to drive
.  Many amusing stories have circulated throughout the sect
ion as to the reaction of the people and their team to thi
s new device.
Except for a brief stay in Kinston, N.C. where he practice
d with his brother Dr. W.F. Hargrove,  Dr. Bob Hargrove mai
ntained his office and practice in Robersonville until hi
s death on December 7, 1923.  His hobbies in addition to hi
s love of fine horses were fishing and hunting.  He was nev
er too busy to listen to or tell a good fish story.
Dora Mae Krider came to Robersonville as a high school teac
her in 1908.  She was the first Latin teacher in the Robers
onville High School.  Her higher education was received a
t Mont Amonena Seminary, Mt. Pleasant, N.C. and Claremont C
ollege, Hickory, N.C.  She was salutatorian of her graduati
ng class.
She was born in Rowan County, Providence Township near Sali
sbury, N.C. and was the daughter of William Robert Krider a
nd Georgia Ann Hudson.  She was confirmed in the Union Luth
eran Church at 13 years of age.  Her ancenstors had been me
mbers of this church since coming rom Pennsylvania to Nort
h Carolina in early 1700."

1720 - >1772 John Hargrove 52 52 Albermarle Parish VA was created by an Act of the General A
ssembly in 1738 which designated the parishes of Southwar
k and Lawn's Creek (formerly James City Parish) be divide
d by the Blackwater River and that on the southside of th
e river to the NC state line be called Albermarle.  At tha
t time, Albermarle Parish lay within Surry County kVA, bu
t with the formation of Sussex County in 1753 from Surry Co
unty, Albermarle Parish was then in Sussex County VA, whic
h in 1748 and 1500tithables.  It is in this parish record
s that John and Judith Hargrove are listed as the parents o
f Briton born 11-30-1746 and christened 02-02-1746/47, an
d the parents of Moses born 9-21-1753 and christened 12-06-
1753.
John Hargrove of VA in 1754 purchased 136 acres on Gum Bran
ch in Edgecombe County NC and in 1761 obtained a 630 acre l
and grant on Gum Swamp (Deep Creek) in Halifax County NC (f
ormed in 1758 from Edgecombe County) from the Earl of Granv
ille.  John Hargrove, along with others, purchased in 175
6 one acre of land on the west side of Fishing Creek to bui
ld a house of worship. (Note: This little church, which i
s now a black church, was until recently owned by Mae Kride
r Hargrove Pope. In abt 1999, she told me that she had give
n it to the congregation with the stipulation that they wou
ld forever maintain the Gray Lemon Hargrove cemetery---Reyn
olds Gray Bailey).
The names of Brittain and Moses Hargrove appear in record
s of Edgecombe, Halifax, Bladen and Columbus Counties NC wi
th close association to Burrel and Arthur Hargrove.  Howeve
r, it is in the settlement of the estate of Brittain Hargro
ve in Columbus County NC, having died about 1817 intestat
e and without issue, that his brothers are confirmed and th
erby establishing other children of John and Judith Hargrov
e, ie. Aaron, Arthur, Brittain, Moses and Burrel.
Ten years (1761) after John Hargrove's initial acquisitio
n of land in NC, he sells in Halifax County to James Turne
r also of Halifax County, 330 acres on Gum Swamp part of th
e 630 acre land grant for a mere 23 pounds and 23 shillings
.  Then in 1769 John sells to Arthur Hargrove, both of Hali
fax County, 200 acres on Gum Swamp, part of the 630 acre la
nd grant for just 50 pounds.  Meanwhile, Aaron Hargrove ha
s purchased 100 acres on Yancokey Swamp in Edgecombe County
, NC in 1768 from John Proctor.  John Hargrove sells in 177
2 to Burwell Hargrove, both of Halifax County NC, 60 acre
s on Deep Creek for 410 pounds.  The same month, John sell
s 75 acres on Deep Creek to Moses Hargrove, both of Halifa
x County, NC, for 40 pounds and the next month John sells t
o Brittain Hargrove,both of Halifax County, NC, 140 acres o
n Deep Creek for 40 pounds.  This suggest that James Turne
r (possibly a son-in-law), Arthur, Aaron, Burrell, Moses an
d Brittai Hargrove were married and establishing themselves.

r 26, 1289. These could also have originated from the Chesh
ire area.
Since no records were found in Yorkshire prior to 1500 fo
r Hargrave, then it may be true that Nicholas Hargrave an
d his parents were from another Shire in England. The neare
st date to 1500 is the reference of William de Haregrave o
f Cheshire in 1349. If I were going to England that is wher
e I would look for records of Nicholas Hargrave and his anc
estry as probably in Cheshire. Then to Nottinghamshire an
d Derbyshire for earlier ancestors.

In the year 1086, the Village of Hargrave near Chester in C
heshire, England was within the lands of Robert Cook. Prio
r to the year 1066, the Village of Hargrave was held by Osg
ot. In the year 1349, a William de Hargrave is recorded i
n Cheshire, England.
(Research):In 2000 after learning about the 3 English villa
ges named Hargrave (in Cheshire, Suffolk, & Northamptonshir
e) which, according to authorities I've read,are at the ori
gin of the surname Hargrave and its variations, I checked w
ebsites of the three. Cheshire seemed the most promising
. I received this answer from Elaine Pierce-Jones, Heritag
e Support Officer of the Chester, Cheshire website:
"Thank you for your recent enquiry about Hargrave. Accordin
g to Ormerod's History of Cheshire, Hargrave did give nam
e to a family there in the reign of either King John or Hen
ry III. The first mentioned was Simon, son of Madoc de Hare
grave. Records for Hargrave are held at the County Record O
ffice, Duke Street, Chester, and you can email them at reco
rdoffice@@cheshire.gov.uk. There is also a Hargrave and Huxl
ey Local History Society in Cheshire and I am sure that the
y would be interested in your research and should be able t
o help you with local knowledge of the area as well as hist
orical details. You can write to them--the Secretary is Joh
n Whittle and the address is Meadow Farm House, Hargrave, C
heshire...etc." When I emailed the Record Office they answe
red that they were unable to find any references to the nam
e Hargrave that pre-date 1475.
I've been in touch with Mr. Whittle and he sent me a very i
nteresting summary of the parts of Ormerod's Hist. of Chesh
ire that concern Hargrave: "The name Hargrave is believed t
o be derived from "har" or "hara" and "graefe" meaning "hoa
r wood". The name appears in Court records in 1285 as Hareg
reve and in many spellings in later records. The name is of
ten mis-spelt even today, -greave and -graves being the mos
t frequent variations. In the center of the village there w
as an area of common land known as Hargrave Stubbs. In Brya
nt's map of 1831 the Stubbs is marked as woodland, presumab
ly the remains of the "hoar wood"...Hargrave was a separat
e hamlet in the township of Foulk Stapleford and during th
e middle ages there were several landowners, one family tak
ing the name Hargrave during the reign of King John or Henr
y III...R Blome in Magna Britannica quotes Sir Ranulph Cotg
reave as being "Lord de Hargrave, Tarvin and Tattenhall" i
n the early 15th century..."
If anyone wants more I can post it here or send it by email
. I'll add that I zeroed in on Hargrave, Cheshire, becaus
e it seemed the most likely of the three since it is the cl
osest to Wakefield, West Riding Yorkshire, and because a ro

Martha Ann (Patsy) Unknown 1827 - 1894 Gray Lemon Hargrove 67 67 "Gray Lemon (Lamon), the third child, left home at the ag
e of 21 years with fifty cents in his pocket to make his wa
y in the world.
He became overseer for a young widow, Martha Ann Foxhall Ga
rdner, who lived north of Tarborough.  Later they were marr
ied and became the parents of two sons and one daughter.  S
hortly after the birth of the daughter, Martha Ann died.  T
he child died three months later.  Gray married twice mor
e and was the father of 12 children by his second wife, Fel
etia Little.
Gray was a successful farmer and shrewd businessman, buyin
g 17 more tracts of land to add to the existing farm.  A st
rong believer in education, he hired a governess for his ch
ildren, and with the exception of one son, sent all of the
m who survived childhood away for higher education.  Thre
e of his sons completed medical schools.
Gray's son Peyton, at the age of 21 was stricken with hemor
rhagic fever; another son, Charles, 27 years old, was calle
d home from his medical practice in Norfolk, Virginia to at
tend his brother.  In two days Peyton was dead and five day
s later Charles died.  They are buried in the Gray L. Hargr
ove Cemetery on the farm which is still owned by the famil
y (Mae Krider Hargrove Pope).
The following is the application from Mrs. A. C. Hughes (Ha
ttie Hargrove) to the "United Daughters of the Confederacy"
.  I quote "Gray Lemon Hargrove, my father was a Lt. of Th
e Home Guard.  This company was sent over the state on guar
d duty to hunt deserters.  He also gave several thousand do
llars to the building of ships for the defense of our coast
.  My uncle, Edward L. Hargrove, served in Co. F, 40th Regi

Vd. Warren, Elizabeth 2 (Richard'), born England; died Hing
ham, Mass., Mar. 9, 1669; married
Richard Church 1636 7; born 1608 (?) ; died Dedham, Mass.
, Dec. 27, 1668, And was buried at
Hingham. His will is recorded in Suffolk Co. at Boston, Vol
. 6, p. 26, Inventory Vol. V, p. 116.
Richard' Church came to New England about 1630. He may hav
e come over with Winthrop's
fleet, but was in Plymouth as a freeman Oct. 4,1632. He see
ms to have paid his own way over, and
was free to do as he chose. He was a carpenter and ~uilder
, and, together with John Thomson, built
the first church in the
Colony, but he had to sue the Pilgrim Fathers for his pay
. At various times he resided at Plymouth,
Duxbury, Eastham and Charlestown, 1653, and last at Hingham
, 1668, residing there for the rest of
his life.
He is mentioned in an interesting deposition taken at Sandw
ich Aug. 25, 1664. "Richard Church
aged about 56 yeares this Deponant saith that lice being at
t worke about the mill the 19th of August
hearing of a Cry that the man was killed; hasted prsently a
nd healped to remove the earth from
Thomas ffisk
whoe being much bruised thereby was gott to bedd and in fou
r Dayes and a halfe Dyed: and further
saith not." (THIS PRINTING IS NOT AN ERROR)
,Richard Church died in Dedham, where he was on a visit, hi
s death taking place "Sabbath day
erly in the morning."
Eleven of his children reached maturity.

~1616 - 1668 Elizabeth Warren 52 52 1579 - 1628 Richard ( Of the Mayflower) Warren 49 49 (Research):Richard Warren appears to have been a merchant
, who resided in London, and became
associated with the Pilgrims and the Mayflower through th
e Merchant Adventurers.
Richard Warren participated in several of the early explora
tions made by the Pilgrims in
1620, while looking for a place to settle. He appears by la
nd records to have been fairly
well-to-do.
When he came over on the Mayflower, he left behind his wif
e and five daughters, planning to have them sent over afte
r things were more settled in the Colony. His wife and daug
hters arrived in America in 1623, on the ship "Anne".
Nathaniel Morton wrote in his book New England's Memorial
, first published in 1669, the
following about Richard Warren:
This year [1628] died Mr. Richard Warren, who was an usefu
l instrument and during his
life bare a deep share in the difficulties and troubles o
f the first settlement of the Plantation of New Plymouth.
Richard Warren is an ancestor to many famous Americans. Amo
ng them are Presidents
Ulysses S. Grant and Franklin D. Roosevelt; and Alan B. She
pard, Jr., the first American
in space and fifth man to walk on the moon. A published lin
eage showing Winston
Churchill as a descendant of Richard Warren has a questiona
ble generation and is most
likely in error. However, Winston Churchill does appear t
o be a descendant of Mayflower
passenger John Howland's brother Arthur.

History and Genealogy of the Mayflower Planters, by Leon Cl
ark Hills, 1981
1. Warren, Richard', born England; died Plymouth, Mass., 16
28; married before 1611,
Elizabeth March, widow of Juat Pratt; born England 1583 (?
) ; died Plymouth Oct. 12,
1673.
(See Warren Family, by Prof. J. C. Warren, 1854).
He was closely affiliated with the Merchant Adventurers o
f London, but the details of his
life in England are not now available, and will be commente
d upon in future volumes of
this work as they are found. His life in Plymouth was short
. Bradford states "Mr. Richard
Warren, but his wife and children were left behind and cam
e afterwards."
Mrs. Warren and her five daughters came to Plymouth in 1623
. After the death of her
husband in 1628, she demonstrated a high efficiency, especi
ally in property transactions.
There is no account of the settlement of his estate in Plym
outh, and the papers are
probably carefully preserved somewhere in England.
During the landing operations, Warren went out with the 3r
d exploring party from the
Mayflower as it lay at anchor in Cape Cod Harbor. The part
y set out in the Shallop on
Wednesday, Dec. 6, 1620, and after numerous adventures, inc
luding a fight with the
Indians early Friday morning, landed at Plymouth on the fol
lowing Monday, Dec. 11,
1620. A few weeks after the arrival of his wife and daughte
rs in the "Anne," he received
lots on "the north side of the eele-river."
He was among the "Purchasers" of 1627 to buy from the Londo
n Adventurers all their
rights in the Colony. In the division, the 9th lot fell t
o Richard Warren, naming his family
In "New England's Memorial-Morton-1667," p. 68 is this stat
ement about Warren:
"This year (1628) died Mr. Richard Warren, who hath been me
ntioned before in this Book
and was an useful Instrument, and during his life bore a de
ep share in the Difficulties and
Troubles of the first Settlement of the Plantation of New P
lymouth."[sparrowsma3.ged]

I am Helen Berisford Stewart and I have been to England sev
eral times tracing the Beresford roots and I found that Tho
mas Beresford and Agnes Hassall had twenty-one children. Th
ey had sixteen sons and five daughters. Thomas and Agnes ar
e entombed in a church in Fentley Bentley. My husband an
d I attended the Beresford International Gathering in Buxto
n, England. I learned anyone with the Beresford name no mat
ter how it is spelled is a descendant of Thomas and Agnes B
eresford. I visited the church where my g-g-g grandparent
s were married in 1797 in Hartington, England, also found t
he church in Alstonefield where my g-g grandfather was bapt
ized. I never was able to find the names of Francis Beresfo

o continue researching my roots. I met so many fine Beresfo
rds when I was in England. One couple visited us here in Co
lorado last summer for two weeks.
My husband and I hope to return to England sometime.

D. 1839 Richard Harding Holland 1748 - 1798 James Lewis Holland 50 50 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Sr.
(Research):Arlina –
I tried to email you, but your address seems to have change
d. I followed your postings through both the Holland and Th
omas forums and I’ll be drawing from them since some of wha
t you mentioned is very important to proving these families.
In your postings, you stated that James Holland’s land wa
s on Utley Creek in Wake Co, and that Burwell Utley was on
e of the witnesses. Burwell Utley’s wife was Sally Lashle
y – married in Wake Co 5 Feb 1787, Silas Green and Samuel R
owland bm. You stated that James Holland’s will named a da
u Mary Lasley who has been proven as the wife of Lewis Lash
ley. I understand Sally Lashley was a dau of Lewis Lashle
y and Mary Holland. So Burwell Utley would have been Jame
s Holland’s granddaughter’s husband. Sally had apparently d
ied by 1809 when Burwell Utley m2 Jane Norris.
I am descended from William Utley Sr, Christopher Woodward
, and Lewis Jones Sr who lived near Middle Creek in the are
a that’s now called Holly Springs, so I know the families a
nd the land there well. Other families that held land in th
at area were William Speight (I, II, and III), John Burt wh
ose daughter Sally Burt m William Speight III, Hardy Sander
s (wife Lucy Utley), and Capt Etheldred Jones. These name
s will appear in the records I’ll be referring to later.
Wake Co. Deed Book G, p. 25
Etheldred Jones of Wake Co. to Richard Holland of Nash Co.
, N. C., Feb. 12, 1785, for 70 pds. specie two tracts of la
nd in Wake Co. on the north side of Holley Spring Branch: (
1) 200 acres on said Branch adjoining Samson Holland, grant
ed to said Samson Holland by the State of N. C. by deed dat
ed 1780; (2) 200 acres adjoining the first tract and Hollan
d, granted by patent to Etheldred Jones. Wit: Hardy Sanders
, John Burt, Wm. Jones.
This must have been the Richard Holland who was an extr t
o James Holland’s will. One of these tracts had been grante
d to Samson Holland, James Holland’s son. Notice that the l
and was on the north side of Holley Spring Branch and thi
s Richard Holland was from Nash Co.

s, Andw Peddy
This land was in the exact same location – on Holly Spring
s Branch. So James and Sarah Holland’s daughter Sarah Holla
nd Thomas must have m1 Jonathan Thomas who died some time a
fter James wrote his will, then m2 ?? Bledsoe by 1804.

So who was the Richard Holland from Nash Co who purchased t

n 1780? Since Richard Holland was an extr to James Holland’

Always nice to meet a new cousin. This is what I have found
.Jacob Holland and wife, Margaret(Pegga) of Edgecombe, NC h
ad a son Jacob, JR was moved to Wilkinson Cty, GA with sist
er Abra and her husband Dury Rogers. He possibly moved on t
o either Houston Cty, GA or Stewart Cty, GA. Wiley had 16 s
ons and 3 daughters by his two wives. I don't know what Jac
ob's wife's maiden name was. One of his son's, Elisha Jacks
on, is my great greatgrandfather. Since Elisha's middle nam
e is Jackson it makes me wonder if Pegga's last name coul
d have been Jackson. Of course, back then many children wer
e give names of the famous. In my Adams line I have a Willi
am Wallace, a George Washington, A Martha Jefferson, an And
rew Jackson and they were all brothers and sister. I also h
ave a Robert Franklin and I would be willing to bet the Fra
nklin came from "old" Ben. The "Robert" was and still i
s a family name. If you would like to write me please do s
o at Lucie1903@@aol.com. I am currently doing census work ag
ain and the Holland's are on my list. I plan to go to the N
ational Archives so that I can research North and South Car
olina very soon. I also need to begin looking at a few othe
r counties in GA. for missing information.
Barsheba Holland I don't know if this will help but it's kind of interesting
. After Nathan Brake died Barsheba married James Van Pelt o
n 31 Jan. 1829 in Edgecombe Co. NC. He was a free mulatto
. She was dismissed by the falls of the Tar River Primitiv
e Baptist Church for marring him.
I'm trying to make a connection to the next Brake in my fam
ily line, Nathan and Barsheba could be them.(if they are th
en you helped me)

The Llewellyn family were communicants of the Church of Eng
land and worshiped at a small chapel called St. Martin's i
n the little town of Hamilton. They did not approve of th
e American Revolution and believed that the Church of Engla
nd would
not survive in America if the colonists were successful i
n breaking away from England. They were thus considered t
o be Tories.
John Llewellyn's will is recorded in the Archives at Portsm

Samuel/Lemuel (will 1754): These seem to be the same person
, as 'Samuel' patents land in '45, and there are many late
r references to 'Lemuel's 1745 patent. The '45 patent was a
long Briery Branch, which is north of Tarr. Samuel Cherry d
ied in '54, leaving a will; he left his Briery Branch lan
d to his son Cado (or Cade). Cade is not seen in the record
s after this. The '45 patent land passed somehow to Willia
m Cherry, somehow to John Cherry, and was sold by John in '
71 to Joseph Holiday. The executors were William Willis, wh
o had land on the east bank of Tranters Creek, and his so
n John. The witnesses John and Griffen Floyd patented lan
d east of Tranters Creek in '56 (they were associated wit
h Joesph and Moses Hodges, and John Lillington).

Sorry it took so long to get bact to you. I just looked i
t up again and Bray and Maidenhead are small communities o
n the Thames River and near London. Most Glazebrooks i hav
e found  are along a corricor between Manchester and Liverp

" In the book OUR QUAKER FRIENDS AND YE OLDEN TIMES, Jame
s P. Bell compiled and transcribed the eisting minute book
s of Cedar Creek Meeting, Hanover cty and South River meeti
ng, Campbell cty, Va. Many of these minutes were kept by Sa
muel Hargrave (married Martha Cheadle 15 july 1751 at Ceda
r Creek meeting) during his tenure as Secretry of Golansvil
le meeting."
"Included in this book are the names & other information co
ncerning the Children of Samuel & Martha.
Their Children were:

7. Thomas B: 31 Jan 1766 was disowned in 1788 for holding s
laves. A booklet of unknown orgin entitled HARGRAVE FAMIL
Y notes on page 41..."The story of the descendants of Thoma
s was published in 1938 by Feltus Printing Co. of Bloomingt
on, Ind., June 1938." No further info. is available on Thom
as Hargrave
8. John B: 21 aug 1768 "1790, 9/11 John, son of Samuel, dec
eased of Carolina Cty, disowned for holding slaves." He wa
s 22 at this time.
9. Joseph was born in Carolina Co. Va (as were all the abov
e) after the birth of John in 1768. 14 Mar 1790 he marrie
d Rachel Terrell. (Garland and Lucy) Joseph and Rachel wer
e disowned from the Society of Friends."
"And so it was that the Children of Samuel Hargrave began t
o drift away from The Society of Friends, the religion tha
t their fathers and grandfathers had so faithfully served d
uring their lives.
There is a whole article on Samuel Hargrove of Carolina Cou
nty Virginia by Mrs. Patsy Clark, Fort Worth, Texas, also i
n this same newsletter of July 1983."
Samuel Hargrave was the fourth generation from Richard Harg
raves who sailed from London, England on Jan 2 1634 in th
e ship Bonaventure.
(Research):Please note that the estate inventory of Samue
l Cornwell includes all the daughters with the maiden nam
e of Cornwell. This would be correct because daughter Eliza
beth was still a teenager of about 13 or 14 years of age an
d not married yet. The estate record of Arthur Allen list
s Samuel Hargrave and Susanna Hargrave seperately and altho
ugh it can be presumed that they are married, we can't real
ly be certain. Since this estate record occurs in 1728, th
e Samuel mentioned is probably Samuel 1697-1740, son of Bra
y Hargrave and Mary Hodge.
The Surry County, Virginia records contain the following la
nd deed record: "1727, Lawnes Creek Parish. Lemuel Hargrav
e and wife Elizabeth Cornwell paid 1,000 pounds of tobacc
o for 150 acres from Ed. and William Tanner. (the land wa
s occupied by Jacob Cornwell, who had a 99 year lease on it
)Witness: James Vaughn, John Bruce, William Sewards."
And the following: Wills and Administrations of Surry Count

4 males under 10; 2 males 10-16; 0 males 16-18; 2 males 19-
26; 0 males 26-45; 1 male 45+ 1 female 16-18.
Frederick Mayo and Martha Bass must have married soon afte
r this census.
Frederick was 46 in 1820. Redmon, Stephen, and Jonas are th
ree of the four under ten. Reuben and Joel are the two 10-1
6 Three males I can't account for. 1 under 10 and two 19-26
. If we speculate that the youngest may have died the olde
r two could have been brothers of Frederick or nephew's, al
though he was old enough to have had sons in the 19-26 rang
e, he would have been young by the standards of the day whe
n men married in their late 20's and early 30's. I believ
e that the oldest two were not his sons. The female is Lydi
a as I believe Lucy was married at this time, her first kno
wn child was born in 1821. Lucy was probably the oldest dau
ghter, as Reuben was the oldest son.

I am a descendant of Joshua Proctor. He was the husband o
f Katherine (Catherine) Owen, daughter of Bartholomew Owen
, who may have been one of 3 wives of Joshua but it is beli
eved she is the mother of all his children. Joshua is thoug
ht to be the son of George Proctor of Bacon's Rebellion wh
o married the widow of Major William Marriott, BUT proof o
f this is yet to be found. I have Joshua as having been bor

I'm writing from David Lindsay's (descendant of Richard Mor
e) literary agency to help spread the word about his new bo
ok, 'Mayflower Bastard: A Stranger Among the Pilgrims', whi
ch is the story of one of Salem's earliest residents an
d a recent book of the month selection by the History Boo
k Club.
Richard More was born in England, the product of an adulter
ous affair between his mother and a local rake. When he wa
s six years old, his mother's lawful husband could no longe
r bear the disgrace of his four children having a very stro
ng resemblance to this unsavory local character. As a solut
ion, he shipped the children to the colonies on the Mayflow
er. All of Richard's siblings died of the diseases that pla
gued the early settlers; he alone survived to become one o
f the original Plymouth settlers.
Richard was raised through young adulthood as a foster chil
d in the home of William Brewster. He then apprenticed hims
elf as a shipboy to Isaac Allerton and spent the rest of hi
s life as a mariner and ship captain. In 1637 young Richar
d married and left Plymouth for Salem, which is where he sp
ent the rest of his life. Richard's life spans a fascinatin
g era is Salem's history. More sat on the jury during Quake
r trials, was supply ship commander during Cromwell's war a
gainst the French, owned a tavern where John Proctor and Gi
les Corey shared drinks at the end of the day, and playe
d a role in maritime smuggling and tax-evasion schemes. Ric
hard was married to two different women - one on each sid
e of the Atlantic - and spent his life in constant fear o
f having his bigamous marriage discovered by the Salem comm
unity. He survived to see his friends and neighbors gettin
g arrested on charges of witchcraft during the famous Sale
m Witch Trials and died shortly thereafter.

MAYFLOWER BASTARD: ONLINE INTRODUCTION, by David Lindsay
As the 1600s drew to a close, Captain More was a common sig
ht around Salem: grizzled gray beard, knife thrust into hi
s belt, the loping gait of a man more accustomed to a dec
k than a floor. A veteran of the Ancient Beginning, he ha
d seen New England grow from a single tenuous village int
o a sprawl of thriving colonies – seen indeed the whole spa
n of the Atlantic coast, once solely the province of Indian
s, grow thick with English settlements.
What did this old man know? What had he learned in his man
y travels? If we could talk to him today, what yarns woul
d he tell?
Certainly they would not include the standard story of th
e Thanksgiving dinner we know from textbooks. Like many sin
ce, More was drawn into the American dream before he knew w
hat it meant or where it might lead. In so doing, he manage
d to be present for many of the high points of the 17th Cen
tury. From Mayflower passage to Salem witch trials, he wa
s witness to the first stirrings of a nation. Yet because o
f his ignoble origins, he often found himself cast in the r
ole of the outsider. And in cultivating his beginnings int
o a secret life of his own, he ultimately came to embod
y a conflict at the heart of the Puritan experiment.
Born into Shropshire gentry, Richard no doubt would have as
sumed a life of ease had his legal father, Samuel More, no
t discovered that his wife, Katharine, was begetting her ch
ildren by a local laborer named Jacob Blakeway. The Mores h
ad been wed by arranged marriage, already an arcane practic
e by the early 1600s, and as time went by, there were fewe
r and fewer reasons to keep their union intact. Katharine c
ontinued to meet with Jacob while her husband was off in Lo
ndon, seeking advancement in the court of King James I. Whe
n at last Samuel inherited their combined estates, he waite
d for Katharine to give birth to her fourth child, Mary, th

"Edward Booker was the father of Captain Richard Booker a
n actual resident of the Colony. The proof that Richard Boo
ker was a son of Edward is presumptive, but it is now gener

nted by his Excellency, the Governor of the Colony as Milit
ary Captain of Gloucester County. He was Justice of the Cou
rt of Gloucester County in 1698 and was a member of the Quo
rum. Richard Booker was born probably in England and name
d probably for his uncle, Richard Glover. The date when h
e settled in Virginia is not known. Captain Richard Booke
r is alluded to in a York County record as being of "Ye Par
ish of Abingdon, in Ye county of Gloucester" and on the upp
er side of Fellgate's Creek. On July 1685 (L. Book 7, p. 54

n Gloucester County. On April 20, 1694 a grant of 180 acre
s in Gloucester County and on October 20, 1704 a grant of 6
13 acres in Essex County.
Captain Richard Booker married first Rebecca Leake, and sec
ondly in 1694 Hannah Hand Marshall, widow of Captain Willia
m Marshall, Justice of Elizabeth City County, formerly of B
arbadoes. Hannah Hand was the daughter of Richard Hand (die
d c. 1689) and Frances Purefoy Hand. Frances Purefoy was th
e daughter of Thomas Purefoy II who was the son of Captai
n Thos. Purefoy. Captain Thos. Purefoy was the son of Humph
rie and grandson of Sir Nicholas Purefoy of royal descent
. Capt. Thos. Purefoy was born in England (c. 1581) and h
e came to Virginia in the George in 1621. He was a principa
l commander of Elizabeth City County in 1628 and burgess fr
om the lower part of Elizabeth City County in 1629-30; he w
as also a member of the Governor's Council in 1631. Accordi

1775 - ~1817 Eve Catherine Feller 42 42 1764 - 1853 Thomas Wesley Jewell 89 89 The earliest known Jewell ancestor was Thomas Jewel. All w
e know from documentation of Thomas' early life is that h
e was bound out 9 Aug 1779 when he was about 14 years old t
o one John McFarling by Loudoun County, VA, court order. W
e have no record of his antecedents. Family tradition is th
at his father was murdered by a would-be robber (more later
).
Jewel (or Jewell) is an English name. Georgius Jewell, wh
o died 6 June 1775, is buried in England's Westminster Abbe
y. In Virginia, a Robert Jewell is mentioned in connectio
n with a land transaction in the county of New Norfolk in 1
637, just 30 years after the Jamestown settlement. A John J
ewell is mentioned in an inventory in 1668 in Northhampto
n County. A John Jewell is mentioned in a court case in Wes
tmoreland County in 1703.
The strongest indication of a possible connection with Thom
as is the will of a Mary Jewell in Essex County in 1704 i
n which she names her children, Thomas, William, and Mary
. Presumably it is this Thomas Jewell who is named in the q
uit rolls of Essex County in 1704, and also this Thomas wh
o patented 149 acres in Essex in 1713. In 1715 a Thomas Jew
ell sold 149 acres in Essex. A William Jewell is included i
n the tithables in Westmoreland County in 1776. This coul
d conceivably have been Thomas's father if he moved to Loud
oun by 1779. Lucinda Jewel, a granddaughter of Thomas, thou
ght his father's name was William.
Other early mentions of the Jewel name in Virginia: A Cathe
rine Jewell married Richard Lewis in 1786 in Botetourt Coun
ty, the same county in which Thomas married Elizabeth Graha
m in 1796. A James Jewell married Molly Ringmaiden in 179
2 in Westmoreland County. A William Jewel married a Sarah D
evore in 1792 in Frederick County. A William Jewell marrie
d a Ruth Rea in 1796 in Frederick County. A Mary Jewell mar
ried a Samuel Bailey in 1799 in Augusta County. There ar
e a number of early recordings of the Jewell name in Loudou
n County, among them a Moses Jewell in 1762, an Elisha Jewe
ll and a Jonathan Jewell in 1784 and 1788, an Elisha, a Geo
rge, and a Jonathan Jewell in 1789, and an Alexander Jewel
l in 1795. When some of the family dropped the second lette
r L is not known.
There were early Jewells in New England, some of them becom
ing quite prominent, and there were Jewells in New Jersey a
nd North Carolina. But Eastern Virginia would seem the mor
e likely origin area of Thomas' immediate forbears.
There is a court record of Thomas' marriage to Elizabeth Gr
aham in Botetourt County 18 May 1796. Subsequent to his mar
riage we have quite a bit of documentation on Thomas, inclu
ding the names and spouses of his children, census records
, land transactions, and his probate record. Prior to the r
ecord of his marriage we have only the 1779 Loudoun court r
ecord, " ... ordered that the church warden of Shelbourne P
arish bind John Philips, Thomas Jewell, and Winfred Jewel
l to John McFarling according to law. " On 25 Sept.1780
, a Martha Jewell of the same parish agreed to the bindin
g out of her son, Zachariah, who was to be four years old i
n August 1782. Possibly this Martha was also Thomas' mother
. Although this was during the Revolution, the court stil
l depended on the Episcopal Church to handle these matter
s as it had traditionally done in Colonial times. Loudoun i
s one of Virginia's most northern counties and is today jus
t commuting distance northwest of Washington DC.
In addition to this sparse documentation, there is consider
able family tradition about how Thomas was orphaned. But le
t an experienced genealogist, Iva Jewel Geary, Thomas' grea
t granddaughter and the author's mother, relate this tradit
ion:
" The family story is that Thomas' father was killed as h
e returned from Norfolk where he had gone to collect mone
y from property there. He was shot and killed as he was nea
rly home but the murderer was never known. The mother did n

Note: Son of Robert Grymes. Nov 26, 1751, Augusta County, h
e was apprenticed to his father as a shoemaker. On Decembe
r 20, 1762 in Bedford County(Now Franklin County), James Gr
ymes had a survey made of 90A at Maggotty Creek. In his lin
e, was mentioned Thomas Authur, who married James' sister S
arah. In 1782 he and Sarah were living on 328A at Marley'
s Creek in Bedford County, which his father had patented Fe
bruary 16, 1771. Following James' death c1882, his widow wa
s sued by the Authurs and Graham s to recover the land. Th
e matter was resolved April 5, 1788 when Thomas Authur conv
eyed the deed to Jame's orphans.

This biography describes the life of LouisTetreault, a brav
e 24-year-old emigrant from Poitou,France, who first settle
d in Trois Rivieres on the St Lawrence River. He started hi
s new life as an indentured servant to the Jesuits but brok
e his contract before its completion. He rented a farm fro
m the Jesuits then married a local widow, Noelle Landeau, w
ith one young child. While still renting, Louis acquired hi
s own land, partially cleared its forest and farmed the cle
ar land. He then sold this land for a profit and started ov
er in the same fief or in another fief. In this manner ou
r ancestor acquired a large tract of land, 609 acres by 167
8. Louis and Noelle brought nine children into this world
, seven of whom survived to marry. In 1690 Louis rented hi
s farm and moved his family to Montreal where he stayed fo
r nine years. In 1699, he returned to his farm to die at 6
4 years of age. We can be proud of our ancestor who was bra
ve, industrious, outspoken, an entrepreneur, and a fighte
r for his rights.

Notes for LOUIS TETREAU/TETRAULT:
Louis was from St. Martin de Louin, Archdiocese of Parthena
y, Diocese, Poitiers, Poitou (Deux-Sevres).
Louis Tetreault arrived in Trois Rivieres in 1662 as a dome
stic in the service of the Jesuits. (source filed L-26-12)
At the Trois Rivieres 1666 Census Louis was supposedly 30 y
ears old.
LOUIS TETREAU
The first Tetreau who came to New France was named Louis, a
nd was the son of Mathurin Tetreau and Marie Bernard, bor
n in 1634 in the parish of St-Martin-de-Louin (St-Martin-de
-Liguge), diocese of Lucon, in the ancient province of Poit
ou, France. (Today, Louin is part of the township of Saint-
Loup-Lemaire, Parthenay, in the department of Deux-Sevres
. Louin is still in the diocese of Poitiers, ancient capita
l of Poitou.)
One day, Louis decided to try an adventure to the New World
. Who gave him the idea? What were his motives? We will nev
er know. He appears in our history at about the age of 24
. The arrival of Louis Tetreau at Trois-Rivieres did not g
o unnoticed, as he had <<red>> hair and his tongue hung out.
Jean Buissoneau, a miller who lived at Cap-de-la-Madeleine
, presented himself, the 23-01-1662, before Pierre Boucher
, to declare under oath that in the middle of 1660, one o
f his friends, named Jacques, a relative of Louis Tetreau
, had declared that the latter had been married in France
, and that he was the father of a daughter and that he ha
d even worked with him at La Rochelle, etc. Was this just g
ossip, jealousy, or a joke? This silly text had no follow-u
ps, but it does help to show us the date of arrival of Loui
s Tetreau in Canada, ca. 1660.
He arrived at Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, in 1662 working a
s a domestic servent to the Jesuits. In the summer of 1662
, the 12th of September, Jean Lemoyne, inhabitant of Trois-
Rivieres since six years, and Louis Tetreau, his farmer, fo
und themselves before the notary Louis Laurent. The accuse
r declared that his employer made him a bunch of nice promi
sses and laughed at him and made him work for no pay. Two a
rbitrators evaluated the work accomplished by Louis Tetrea
u on the land of Lemoyne at the sum of 30 livres.
Natrually, the tenacity of the reclamation by Louis Tetrea
u did not help to preserve his job! He then turned toward t
he Jesuits. The brother Francois Malherbe, missionary procu
rator, permitted this experienced farmer to exploit 100 acr
es of land which was contingent to the pr
1638 - 1706 Marie-Noelle Nathalie Landeau 67 67 ~1610 Mathurin Tetreau Origin(?) of Tetreau Name
Most surnames have a reason for being, whether they origina
te from a characteristic, a locale, a vocation, a relations
hip, or possibly an important event in an individual's life
. Thus we have names such as Short, Cruikshank (bowed legs)
, Carpenter, Smith, Ford (a river crossing), Hartford (a de
er crossing at a river), Johnson (John's son), etc. While t
hese are English names, this method of naming was not confi
ned to that language. Of particular interest to us would b
e names like Meunier (miller), Desjardins (gardener), Chass
eur (hunter), Forgeron (smith), Petit (little, small), Bouc
her (butcher), etc. However, there are some names for whic
h these origins do not seem to fit. On closer scrutiny, som
e of these names could be variations of others. Jones coul
d very well be a variation of John or a shortened form of J
ohnson, for example.
The French word for "son" is "fils," pronounced "feece" (fl
eece without the "l"). Therefore, the son of the Frenchma
n Maurice would be "Fils de Maurice," or, as we know it tod
ay, Fitzmaurice.Why is it, then, that we usually think of t
his name and others like it as being Irish? It is not widel
y remembered, or perhaps known, that the Norman Conquest o
f England in 1066 did not stop there. In later years, as Ir
eland came increasingly under English rule, many of the Nor
man French went from England to Ireland to claim land. In t
ime, "Fils" evolved into "Fitz."
Whatever the origins of the name Tetreau may have been, the
y seem to be lost in the mists of time. There are those wh
o claim that the name is a corruption of the verb "teter,
" meaning to suckle. In my own family, it was widely though
t to have come from "tete-rouge," or redhead, because man
y of my family had this chracteristic. In fact, Louis Tetre
au, our common ancestor, is said to have had red hair.
There is a legend which affords another interesting view o
f our name's origins. This story came to me quite a few yea
rs ago from a "cousin" in New York State. As the story goes
: During the Middle Ages, the average French feudal peasan
t was firmly bound to the land of his landowner, or seigneu
r. He never left his village, and since most villages wer
e very small, many if not most of the inhabitants did not e
ven have surnames -- they just weren't needed. In the 1400'
s and 1500's, the Ottoman Turks were invading the Balkan Pe
ninsula, and captured Constantinople (today's Istanbul) i
n 1453. Countries did not maintain standing armies such a
s we know today, and any defense was based on their knighth
ood and whatever citizens and peasants could be scraped tog
ether to form an army. The Turks, bent on conquest, and mai
ntaining a strong army, presented the most aggressive dange
r at that time, and what forces there were did not seem abl
e to stem the Turkish tide.
The particular events that concern us are the Turkish invas
ions of the Kingdom of Hungary, in the early 1500's. The Hu
ngarian king appealed to his royal Christian brethren to he
lp him out, and apparently among those who responded was th
e King of France. Word was sent down through the feudal ran
ks to raise a Christian army to fight the infidel. Among th
ose who "volunteered" for this service was an ancestor of L
ouis Tetreau -- although he did not have a surname at the t
ime. Battles were fought, and Hungary was defeated and part
itioned between Turkey and Hapsburg Austria. Our ancestor o
bviously survived and went back to his village, presumabl
y in the province of Poitou in west-central France.
However little education this ancestor had because of his l
owly peasant status, he obviously had enough sense to notic
e that he was NOT the only one named Pierre, Antoine, Jacqu
es, or whatever in the world -- he had met many others fro
m various provinces of France with the same given names. So
, he felt that he had to have some additional means of iden
tification, if onl

bout source of this person's information. Not verified.
Andre Chicoine's works lists Pierre as the second of three.
Letter from Andre Chicoine to Betsy Shequine states that hi
s information about the Chicoisne families in France come
s from Renee Chicoisne-Mezin who lives near Paris and the C
entre Genealogique de Touraine.
"The parish register there begins in 1630...the first nam
e registered is Jacquine Martin, widow of Georges Chicoisn
e of St. Laurent de Lin. She died in 1627 at the age of 85.
..I suspect that the Chicoisnes may come from the Maine e
t Loire region because I have not yet found the marriage o
f Gilles and Perrine Boisaubert, probably in 1635. Based o
n Mrs. Mezin's research and the data that I now have, it i
s believed that the old Touraine and Anjou provinces, hav
e been the cradle of the patronym. .."
There are still Chicoisne families listed in France includi
ng Chanay sur Latham.

It appears from my correspondence with another Joshua desce
ndent that
Joshua had three wives. Rebecca being the first--she died i
n Nash Co NC
probably between 1798 when Littleberry (my ancestor) was bo
rn and the
1800 census. The family went from there to Hancock Co GA an
d then to
Smith Co TN. In 1808 the six sons and one daughter of Joshu
a selected
guardians ( I have a copy of this document). It indicates t
hat they
were not orphans but minors--indicating that their Mother a
nd probably
step mother were dead and Joshua was not in the area for wh
at reason we
do not know. He remarried but the wife's name is unknown--a
nd daughter
Sara(h) was born in TN December 1816. He went to Illinois a
bout 1829
and applied for the pension about 1831 ( if memory serves).

(The following information was provided at the family reuni
on in Williamston, NC on 31 May 1998)
The Bailey Road, now State Road #1399 off Highway 64 approx
imately one-half mile east of Everetts, bears this name bec
ause of numerous members of the Warner ("Warren") Gordon Ba
iley, Jr. family who settled there. Your great, great grand
father, John Lawrence Bailey (called John and sometimes Go
d Dast It, for that seemed to be his byword), was born Nove
mber 22, 1856, which made him a Civil War lad. This rough
, tough character was truly and independant, who learned th
e ways of the wild forest, its creatures, and the soil. Fro
m early boyhood he learned to live on, near, and for the ea
rth. Many times hes daily sustenance was made up of a pocke
t full of quickly gathered grains or nuts, fish freshly cau
ght, or forest animals caught and cooked.
His family home was in a rural area in the Cross Roads-Bea
r Grass area of Martin County, which placed it perhaps 15 o
r more miles from Washington in Beaufort County, NC. In th
e family were 4 brothers and 3 sisters. Many times, John re
counted a childhood war adventure that told how he was sen
t to Washington on the Pamlico River to obtain salt, whic
h was used as a preservative for meat that was slaughtere
d on the farm. It is most probable that John was less tha
n ten years of age when he was entrusted with this dangerou
s but vitally crucial errand. To avoid Yankee troops, and p
erhaps Rebel bands, John did not travel the existing ox o
r horse paths, but stayed within view of the way to avoid b
ecoming disoriented. His short, stocky status was a definit
e advantage and enabled him to travel undetected through br
ush and undergrowth; yet his very lack of physical size an
d strength would limit the quantity of salt that he would b
e able to acquire. These odds were probably weighed careful
ly before parental demands and permission were given.
It was during the long, tedious, and dangerous return tri
p that John realized that he had been overtakedn by a grou
p of maurauding soldiers who were intent on theiry survival
. His salt would be desirable booty. This young, tired, an
d badly frightened tow-headed boy did the most natural thin
g. He hid in the low shrubs and bushes under a bridge whil
e his enemy marched over and away. He was safe if his fortu
ne continued for the remaining distance. His valuable packa
ge of salt was most appreciated at home and his safe retur
n a cause for great wecome and thanksgiving.
As age and maturation occurred, John became a lover and fri
end to his fellowman. Perceptive and understanding of the h
uman body, he was able to help many who were ill or injured
. By ways and means known only to him, for he shared none o
f his knowledge, he was able to stop excessive bleeding, re
move warts, and perform a ritual kown at that time as "talk
ing out fire." The latter was a procedure, involving no fur
ther pain, that he did for those who were badly burned. H
e was able to provide rapid healing with no resulting scar
. He was credited with miracles.
News such as this, when there were few physicians and littl
e medical training, traveled. With poor, slow, and inaccura
te communication, news of John Bailey's ability to help spr
ead. Men, women, and children came from near and far to rec
eive of his medicinal favors. Often they brought animals fo
r John's attention. All were served. He became a colorful a
nd beloved friend to all.
After the railroad tracks were laid from Rocky Mount to Ply
mouth, John walked from his home to Everetts to see what th
is new-fangled idea was all about. After all, most of his t
ravel had been by foot for seldom was a farm animal - mul
e - used for transportation or pleasure. Imagine his antici

Richard Hudson II, son of Richard I and probably his firs
t wife, was born
1632 in Accomack County, Virginia. He migrated to Henrico C
ounty,
Virginia where he settled on the south side of the James Ri
ver and
married Mary Bowman in 1658.
It is reasonable to assume Richard was alienated from his f
ather and
other family members. His father was away (at sea?) for var
ious lengths
of time, and after his mother died, Richard was apparentl
y indentured
into the care and control of one James Bruce.
He afterward, therefore, embarked upon his separate persona
l fortune. In
1652, he joined a group of people traveling westward into H
enrico County,
Virginia. There he settled among the Bowman families on lan
d lying in a
bend on the south side of the James River.
Existing Henrico County records indicate that Richard recei
ved a gift of
land, known as "Roxdale", from his father-in-law. These rec
ords also
refer to a Will of Richard Hudson II, made October 25, 1669
. The Roxdale
land was equally divided among his three sons, who all migr
ated to
different counties in Virginia.

After earning his freedom from his status of an indenture

Richard married Mary Bowman, daughter of Robert Bowman. Sh
e was sister
to William Bowman who by his will of 13 July 1670 in Henric
o Co devised a
tract to William Hudson and William Bowman. William Hudso
n was probably
the namesake of the testator and was not more than 2 or 3 y
ears of age at
the time. WilliamHudson and William Bowman would have bee
n his nephews.
The Bowmans and Hudsons lived at Roxdale in Henrico Co., Vi
rginia.
Richard Hudson made his will 25 Oct 1669 in Henrico Co VA
. It is no
longer extant. Part of its contents, however, can be recons
tructed from a
deed made 1 Dec 1688. On that date, Richard, the son and he
ir of Richard
Hudson, deceased, late of Roxdale in Henrico Co, stated tha
t by his
father's will of 25 Oct 1669 he and his two brothers, Rober

Hudson, were devised a plantation at Roxdale then in the po

Thomas Poland. It was the land which his father Richard Hud

been given by his father in law Bowman. The land has eschea

Richard filed a lawsuit against a Hannah Savage in 1634 wh
o was
apparently his employer. Many reports show Richard arrivin
g at Hungars
Creek on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in 1635 which in al
l probability
is correct, however it was his second arrival in Virginia
. Richard was
supposedly married to a woman with the last name of Tilghma
n while in
England. This marriage produced Henry, born in 1632. Ther
e is a great
possibility that when Richard came to America, Henry was le
ft behind in
the care of others. Some researchers show Richard as "Richa
rd of Seven
Sons" however his verbal will references three children on
e of which was
a "Girlie". Western shoreman Hudsons claim Richard as the f

SPECIAL NOTE: There seems to be some confusion as to the id
entity of
WILLIAM HUDSON's father. It could have been WILLIAM HUDSO

regardless,

Henry HUDSON I - b. about 1500, England; d. 1555. One sourc
e styles the
father of Henry and William HUDSON as 'Henry HUDSON, Gent.
, Alderman of
London, Lord of Manors, etc.' Henry was probably a member o
f the Muscovy
Company, or Association of Merchant Adventurers, which Seba
stian CABOT
founded by 1553. The Company, chartered in 1555, sought a n
orthern route
to China, either easterly or westerly.
Although the Hudson Coat of Arms has changed over the years
, the
oldest known Hudson Coat of Arms consists of Three Lions i
n the Rampant
position with three boars heads as supporting badges. The s
ymbolism of
the lions signifies rearing with strength, courage and loya
lty as
character traits. My research into heraldry did indicate th
at three lions
on a coat of arms is very rare but to date I have not uncov
ered the
significance. The boars' heads were badges that suggested a
llegiance to
the royal arms of King Richard III. King Richard III utiliz
ed boars heads
as his identifying badges to signify bravery and perseveran
ce. Possibly,
the three lions rampant is significant in identifying wit
h King Richard
III also.
The arms of Gentleman Henry Hudson (1st generation recorde
d here) are
described as "argent, semee of fleurs de lis gules, a cros
s engrailed
sable. The early Hudson colonists in Virginia utilized a va
riation of
this arms to mark livestock, lending credence to the relati
onship to
Henry.

Notes for William Mayo Sr.
On June 5, 1666, John Hardy of Isle of Wight was granted 11
50 acres of land
for importing 23 persons, including William Mayo. The usua
l procedure for
granting land was as follows: a colonist would locate a tra
ct of land he
wanted, have it staked and surveyed. For each 50 acres of l
and, he was
required to import one permanent settler and establish thos
e persons on the
said land for a period of time, usually two to six years. I
n theory, the law
meant importation from overseas, but there are many known c
ases in which
young men, women and children of colonists were listed as i
mports when in
actuality they had either been born here or came here as im
ports with their
parents. During the two to six years it took for the paten
t to be granted,
the imported settlers were sponsored by the colonists. At t
he end of the
period, they were given an acreage,usually ten to twenty ac
res, and were free
and clear. All of this was determined by the terms of the i
ndenture they had
signed previously. If a settler could pay his own transport
ation fee, he
usually came over on his own, but even then he might legall
y be considered
imported by the colonist for whom he worked.

1625 Alice Tucker 1623 - 1681 John Johnson 58 58 ~1590 - 1659 John Johnson 69 69 John Johnson was born about 1588 to 1590, in Wilmington, Ke
nt,
England. (Banks Topgraphical Dictionary of 2885 English Emi
grants to
New England, 1620-1650) He married 1st, Mary Heath, daughte
r of
William Heath and his wife, Agnes Cheney, on September 21
, 1613, at
Ware, Herfordshire, England. John and Mary had 10 children
, 5 of whom
died young. Mary died in May, 1629, and was buried at Ware
, May 15,
of that year. In 1630, John came to New England with the Wi
nthrop
Fleet, landing at Salem, June 22, 1630. He brought with hi
m his five
children, Mary, Isaac, Elizabeth, Humphrey, and Sarah. As i
t is known
that his first wife Mary's two brothers also came to New En
gland, and
settled at Roxbury also, it is possible that they came toge
ther.
"John settled in Roxbury, where he, with his son-in-law, Ri
chard
Mowry, was made freeman May 16, 1631. He was active in th
e business
of the Colony, as Juryman, serving on committees, as survey
or laying
out the bounds of Towns around Boston. March 4, 1635, Joh
n Johnson
and Richard Dumer were ordered to build a bridge across Mud
dy River.
Five towns were to contribute to the cost. May 25, 1636, o
r 1635, he
was chosen one of a committee to determine the valuation o
f the
several towns. September 8, 1636 he was again chosen for th
at
purpose. May 17, 1637, he was chosen one of the Deputies t
o levy on
the towns for raising fifty men to send against the Pequots
. He was
also chosen surveyor General, an office, which at that time
, included
the care of the stock of arms and the ammunition of the Col
ony....He
was chosen Deputy to the house of Deputies to represent Rox
bury in
1634, the first year of that assembly; and was chosen for t
wenty-one
years aftewards, nearly all consecutively."
(taken from "Genealogy of Captain John Johnson, of Roxbury,
Massachusetts" by Paul Franklin Johnson, 1945.)
Notes from "The Great Migration Begins", John Johnson was t
he
Quartermaster, whose duty it was to distribute gunpowder t
o the major
towns of the Colony, as well as storing the munition suppli
es and
being able to provide every soldier 'one sufficient musket
, sword,
rest and a pair of bandoliers with two fathoms of match fo
r each
musket'. Two accounts, quoted in this book, by the diarist
s of his
time document the tragic fire in March of 1645, which burne
d John
Johnson's house and a large supply of gunpowder which was s
tored
there, follow:
"John Johnson, the surveyor general of ammunition, a very i
ndustrious
and faithful man in his place, having built a fair house i
n the midst
of town, with diverse barns and other outhouses, it fell o
n fire in
the daytime, no man knowing by what occasion, and there bei
ng in it
seventeen barrels of the country's powder, and many arms, a
ll was
suddenly burnt and blown up, to the value of four or five h
undred
pounds, wherein a special providence of God appeared, for h
e, being
from home, the people came together to help and many were i
n the
house, no man thinking of the powder, until one of the comp
any put
them in mind of it, whereupon they all withdrew, and soon a
fter the
powder took fire and blew up all about it, and shook the ho
uses in
Boston and Cambridge, so as men thought it had been an eart
hquake."
(WJ 2:259"
And Eliot remarked, " In this fire were strange preservatio
ns of God's
providence to the neighbors and town, for the wind at firs
t stood to
carry the fire to other houses, but suddenly turned & carri
ed it from
all other houses, only carrying it to the barns and outhous
ing
thereby, & it was a fierce wind, & thereby drove the veheme
nt heat
from the neighbor houses."
John Johnson was on Eliot's list of the first comers to th
e Roxbury
church, being #9. His second wife, Margery Johnson, was #9
0 on
Eliot's list, and it is believed she came to New England i
n the spring
of 1633, and married John soon after. Her maiden name was M

In 1992, the present author published evidence that the imm
igrants Elder Isaac Heath and William Heath of Roxbury, Mas
sachusetts, were of an earlier William Heath, Sr.(ca 1555-1
625) of Ware, Herfordshire. Following Publication of that a
rticle, the marriage of William Heth(sic) of Ware was found
, in the Parish of Waltham Abbey, Essex, on 9 June 1580, t
o Agnes Cheney. Subsequent research produced probate record
s identifying Agnes as the daughter of Robert Harrison an

s set out by wagon train to Indiana. Thinking that she wa
s too small and fragile to make the trip, they made arrange
ments with her uncle Thomas to keep Sally. Then they sent h
er to the spring for water "for the trip". When she returne
d with the water, they had gone and she was left behind. Sh
e spent her teen years as a domestic in the home of an Albr
ight family.
She married a young neighbor farmer, Atlas Perry. In 1852
, Atlas had become an unwed father. The boy was named Alfre
d Marion Ivey, born to Margaret Ivey. Sally realized that l
iving conditions were terrible for the little boy, and soo
n she and Atlas adopted him and took him home. Alfred was a
ccepted and loved by everyone.
For a "fragile" child, Sally lived a long and healthy life
. She died at the age of 85, on the day of her granddaughte
r's wedding.

STORIES: Historical Notes Concerning Hickory Mountain Unite
d Methodist Church
Pastor Charles S. Hubbard, 1983
{I believe this document was written by Pastor Hubbard}
from the records of
Mr. C.G. "Soupy" Campbell of Brown Summit, NC
Now we come to one of the famous pioneer preachers of Metho
dism, Thomas Mann. On April 21, 1805, Thomas Mann was presi
ding elder of the Salisbury District, when he wrote in hi
s diary: "We rode to Hickory Mountain. I preached from Matt
hew 10:7, ant there was a move and a shout, and I exhorted
. Brother Robert Wilkerson exhorted and the move died away
. We administered the sacrament. My mind and body hurt, tho
ugh. We had a great shout and joined three black people i
n society. We rode to Thomas Reeves, and Brother Wilkerso
n walked out in the evening and talked about old times, an
d all the pains of preaching, the pains of stopping, travel
ling, etc."
In 1812 and 1813, Thomas Mann was preacher on the Haw Rive
r District, and preached at Hickory Mountain on several occ
asions, and visited with William Perry, Gideon Goodwin, an
d Benjamin Harris. There was a two day meeting in June 1813
. Thomas Crutchfield exhorted. The folks must have gotten s
tirred up. He reported: "We had a shout and a dance - it wa
s too wicked for me".
At this time I leave my manuscript and present in evidenc
e two deeds, the first dated July 19, 1832 and the second
, dated July 24, 1856. I will conclude the historical note
s at this time with a review of these instruments.
STORIES: the 1832 deed transferred 4 acres of land to the t
rustees Hickory Mountain Church from Joseph John
Alston. The price was one dollar; and the deed was atteste
d by Phillip K. Alston, the seller's (or donor's) half-brot
her, who built and lived in the "House on the Horseshoe" no
w a state monument. Joseph John
Alston was known as "Chatham Jack" and was the owner of 40.
000 acres of land, practically all the land between the pre
sent Pittsboro and Siler City. The trustees listed on thi
s deed were listed as Edward Perry, Thomas Crutchfield, Lew
is Lutterloh, Turpee Perry, Henry Rogers, William Perry, Jo
hn Cole and Joseph John Alston. It was stipulated that a ho
use of worship would be built on this land, which was at th
e junction of the Cumberland or Fayetteville road and the R
aleigh or Stage Coach Road, from Raleigh to Salisbury. Ther
e is no record that his land reverted, which it would, if n
o church building had been constructed.
Twenty four years later, a second deed transferred 3 acre
s of land to the trustees of Hickory Mountain Church from R
obert P. Alston. The testators were Joseph Johnson and Joh
n George. The trustees listed in 1856 were: Innis A. Alston
, Oliver McMath, I.E. Nettles, George Rogers, William Fike
, R. N. Green, B.E. Brown, Obadiah Henderson and Samuel B
. Perry

Jesse and Abigail emigrated to North Carolina in 1768.1 A

30    (John's birth date seems to be an estimate in all sou
rces - no primary sources cited).
John moved from Derryaghy to Grange in county Tyrone and be
came a member of the Society of Friends, Grange Friends Mee
ting.12,21
He married Dorothy Lennox, 7-30-1678.28,30,185    (Debora
h Lennox)a
In 1702 John and Dorothy were witnesses to the following ma
rriage:10
Mary Sweethen, of Cloughan, Parish Kilmore, County Armagh
, was married, 8 Mo. 22, 1702, to John Lenox of Drycroency
, Parish Clanfekill, at Ballyhagen Meeting.    Among the si
gners were Alexander Sweethen, John Hinshaw, Dorothy Hinsha
w, Elinor Whinery, Robert Lennox, Thomas Hinshaw, John Whin
ery.
John Lennox was probably the brother of Dorothy Lennox
.    Mary Sweethen was probably the sister of Ann Sweethe
n who in 1703 married Joseph Mackey (two of Joseph & Ann Ma
ckey's children married Hinshaws).
He then married Elizabeth Belshaw, 1716, Derryaghy, Count
y Antrim, N.Ireland.3,12,185    (Elizabeth Belcher)    (Eli
sabeth Belshaw)    (Elisabeth Belcher)    Elizabeth was Joh
n's house servant.41,185
Both John and Elizabeth were disowned for marrying "contrar
y to discipline".41    The Grange MM Book of Disownments se
ems to indicate that there was something of a scandal conne
cted with this marriage.    On 5 Mo 12 1716 the Grange MM r
ecorded:185
A Testimony Given Forth Against John Hinshaw and Elizabet
h His Wife: John Hinshaw of Edneycreaney a man well stricke
n in years ...    leting out his minde to a lustful libert
y after his servant - viz: Elezebath Belshy a yong woman wh
oe of late would have gon under our name ...    and committ
ed furnycation with her, notwithstanding the timely warnein
g and friendly admonishon given to the sd John to put the s
d Elezebath out of his house and to intertaine another in h
er stead, intill the accomplishment of their intended marad
ge, but he rejected our councell notwithstanding his promis
es to the contrary and the better to cover their transgress
ions went to a preest and was maryed".
A John Hinshaw signed the marriage certificate of John Mack
ie and Katherine Meredith on 2 Mo. 22, 1737 at the Meetin
g House in Lisburn, County Antrim.    Could this have bee
n *this* John, or John #1031 ???10
John Hinshaw died after 1768.b    John might have died eve
n as late as 1784 or after, as his son William, in a lette
r of 1784, indicates an expectation that his parents were s
till alive at that time.b
Note: There appears to be something odd regarding John's ma
rriages and children, none of which come from primary sourc
es.    John's children by Dorothy Lennox (John, Dorothy an
d Mary) were all married in the mid 1740s.    If they wer
e all born prior to John's marriage to Elizabeth Belshaw i
n 1716 (and if the 1716 date is correct) then they would ha
ve all been well into their 30s when they were married (a
n unusual age).    It seems very possible that all of thes
e children might have been from John's second marriage to E
lizabeth Belshaw.
Note also that John's ancestry is not at all proven or cert
ain.    John's ancestry seems to be sourced only by Willia
m Wade Hinshaw, who hired extensive research in Ireland, bu
t never cited sources in any of his published lineages
.    John's ancestry has been much repeated, but should b
e considered somewhat speculative.
Elizabeth Belshaw He then married Elizabeth Belshaw, 1716, Derryaghy, Count
y Antrim, N.Ireland.3,12,185 (Elizabeth Belcher) (Elisabet

Note that John's descendents are not at all proven or certa
in. John's birth is recorded in church records, which ar
e a sound source. But John's line of descent seems to be so
urced only by William Wade Hinshaw, who hired extensive res
earch in Ireland, but never cited sources in any of his pub
lished lineages. This Irish lineage has been much repeated
, but should be considered somewhat speculative.
Elizabeth Unknown D. ~1631 Thomas Henshall Henshall (Thomas Henshall)13    (Sir Thomas Henshall)    (Sir Thoma
s Henshawe)    (Sir Thomas Henshaw)13,4
Spelled "Henshall" in early records but "Henshawe" later re
cords.4
According to the pedigree prepared in 1701 by grandson Josh
ua Henshaw, Thomas was from "Derby, in the County Palantin
e of Lancaster".4
He married - Kendrick.    Thomas married a daughter of th
e Kendricks "of Prescot in the County Palantine of Lancaste
r, or rather of Kendrick's Cross, in the same parish".4,9,3
8    (This might have been Alice Kendrick or Kenricke).a
In the Walton On The Hill church records Thomas was liste
d as a resident of "Darbye"b (Derby) so one could assume th
at all of his children were probably born there.c
He then married Elizabeth Wainwright, Jan 20 1625, Walton o
n the Hill, Lancashire, England.13,18    NOTE: This is pur
e speculation that it was *this* Thomas who married Elizabe
th Wainwright (second wife?) - it could have been a differe
nt Thomas, although the proximity of dates and identical pa
rish location seem to indicate it was probably this Thomas.
Thomas, during the reign of James I, had Arms restored to h
im that had previously belonged to his ancestor, Sir Thoma
s Henshaw, and had a crest added, and he was knighted.
4    Thomas Henshall died c1631.4,9,38    According to Josh
ua's 1701 pedigree, Thomas died in Toxter Park (or Toxtet
h Park), near "Liverpool in the same County near 70 years a
go"4 (making it c1631).
Note: Thomas' parents are not known for sure.    It appear
s that his parents might have been William Henshall and Mar
gerie Gyll because of the following: The records of the par
ish of Walton on the Hill in Lancashire show Thomas' marria
ge and also his children's christenings.    Also recorded a
t Walton on the Hill are records of several other Henshawe/
Henshalls at approximately the same time period and about t
he same age as Thomas.13,18    One of these records is th
e christening of Margerie Henshall, which shows her parent
s were William Henshall and Margerie Gyll.13,18    It appea
rs that Margerie was Thomas' sister and therefore William H
enshall was his father.
But there is also speculation from Tom Henshaw that perhap
s Thomas might be connected with the family of Roger Hensha
we of Farnsworth, near Prescot,c because Thomas married a K
endrick of Prescot.    Roger did have a son named Thomas, b
orn about 1572.d    Also living at Farnsworth, near Presco
t was Raphe Henshawe (probably brother to Roger above), wh
o also had a son named Thomas, born about 1570.d    Eithe
r of these Thomas's from Farnsworth might be this Thomas.c

Unknown Kendrick William Henshall He married Margerie Gyll.13
Gyll appears to be a Welsh name, and Lancashire is near th
e Welsh border. But Margerie's ancestry is unknown.
Note: The only child that is known for sure to be the chil
d of William and Margerie is daughter Margerie.a However, i
n the records of the same parish where Margerie was christe
ned are also records of a Henshaw family group of approxima
tely the same age / time period. It is presumed that Marger
ie and these other children were siblings

e Regulators), so few records known.1,183
Benjamin Hinshaw died 1840, Chatham County, North Carolina.
1 According to the dates in (1) the Hinshaw book, he woul
d have been 102 years old at his death!
Not only is the 1840 death date questionable because of hi
s then exceptional lifespan, but also Benjamin appears to h
ave died before 1817b as he did not sign the marriage certi
ficate for his daughter Abigail  in 1817,217 as was customa
ry and would have been expected. An unidentified Elizabet
h Hinshaw did sign daughter Abigail's marriage certificate,
217 so perhaps Elizabeth, who would have been 67 years ol
d in 1817, might have lived beyond that year (although it m
ight have been a different Elizabeth Hinshaw who signed th
e certificate).

In 1752 some members of the meeting complained that Jacob w
as guilty of "breach of promise concerning the price of a C
reatere".    In the 9th month (Nov), Jacob produced the fol
lowing document which was recorded in the record:10
"Friends as it was your desire I should be at this meetin
g to Clear the truth of the Scandal I have brought upon i

Ann Sweethen 1728 - 1780 Absolom Hinshaw 52 52 (Research):  (Absolem Hinshaw)
Born 1728, Charlemont, County Armagh, Ireland.
He married Rebecca Haddock, 4-15-1748, Grange, County Tyron
e, Northern Ireland.
Among the signers (witnesses) of Absolem & Rebecca's marria
ge certificate were Jesse Hinshaw, Abigail Hinshaw (Jesse'
s wife), and William Hinshaw.    Rebecca, daughter of Joh
n Haydock & Abigale Griffith.a
Absolam and Rebecca were both from Killiman (Killyiman) par
ish, County Tyrone.
Absolem, Rebecca, and family emigrated to North Carolina i
n 1768.    An entry in the Grange MM minutes of 2-26-1768 s
hows
"Absolem Hinshaw acquainted this meeting that he intends re
moving with his wife and family to America and desires ou
r certificate of removal, and this meeting being informed t
hat Alice Hinshaw also intends removing to America and desi
res our certificate, this meeting therefore desires Thoma
s Dawson and Jas Pillar together with Jas Morton and Jona
s Shaw to make enquiries concerning the above mentioned Fri
ends and bring the same to the next meeting for approbation
."
On 2-5-1768, a similar entry in the minutes for Absolem's c
ousins William and Jesse was recorded:
"William Henshaw signified to this meeting that he and hi
s brother Jess, with their families intend to remove from t
his to America and desire our certificate. Thomas Dawson an
d Jas Pillar are desired to make the needful enquiry concer
ning them and return acct. how thay find things to next pre
parative meeting which is appointed to be held the 26th o
f 2nd mo."
An entry on 3-11-1768 shows
"Certificates being drawn for Jess Hinshaw, Absolem Hinsha
w and William Hinshaw with their families, also for Alice H
inshaw, the same was signed in this meeting.    Jonah Sha
w is desired to record copies of said certificates and deli
ver the originals to said Friends."
The Grange Monthly Meeting has a later entry showing
"It Appears that Jesse Hindshaw, Absolem Hindshaw & Willm H
indshaw with their respective families and also Alice Hinds
haw removed to America in the year 1768".
Absolem and family settled in North Carolina, on Richland C
reek in the Piney Ridge community.    The Cane Creek MM men
's records shows an entry for 5-6-1769
"Absolem Hinshaw received on a certificate".
The women's record shows an entry for the same date:
"Rebekah Hinshaw, wife of Absolem, & daughter Elizabeth, re
ceived on a certificate from Six Weeks Meeting, Grange, nea
r Charlemount, Ireland, dated 3-13-1768".
Note this certificate date is the same as that of William's
.
Absolom appears to have died before 1780b as he did not sig
n the marriage certificate for his son Absolom in 1780, a
s was customary and would have been expected.    A Rebecka
h Hinshaw did sign son Absolom's marriage certificate, bu
t it it believed that she was the mother of the bride, no
t Rebecca Haddock Hinshaw;b therefore it's likely that Rebe
cca Haddock Hinshaw had also died by 1780.

hn Macklemore (ca1698-1767) and Faith McGee. All of Virgini
a, mostly Surry County. Burwell married Amy Gilliam and Joe
l married Elizabeth Wyche.  Burwell and Amy also had a chil
d named Howell (ca1765-ca1804), who married Lucy Harris, an
d they had children named Joel, Lewis, Polly, and Burwell.
This data comes from James L. McLemore III: "The Early Hist
ory of the McLemore Family of Virginia and the Carolinas."
----------------------
Burwell Maclemore and his wife, Amy, had a large family: el
even children in all have been identified, but only two ha
d their births recorded in the Albermarle Parish Register
. The first was Sally, born June 2, 1754, and baptized Augu
st 25, 1754. Sponsors or godparents included her aunt and u
ncle, Robert and Lydia Magee, as well as a Gilliam. A secon
d daughter "Molly" (Mary) was shown in the Register as bein
g born July 24, and baptized September 14, 1760. There wa
s a sufficient interval in between these two for the birt
h of at least one other child (probably Howell), and the ot
hers followed along thereafter: John, Lucy, Lydia, Ann or A
nna, Burwell Jr., Gilliam, Charles and James, probably in s
omething close to that order, with their births running rig
ht up nearly to the outbreak of the American Revolution, wh
en Burwell would have been 55, and Amy in her early to mi
d 40's. By the time his family had grown this large, it bec
ame obvious that his original 190 acre patented plantatio
n was too small (or worn out) to support such a family. The
refore, he arranged in 1775 to exchange this plantation wit
h John Tyler (father of President John Tyler) for a large
r tract. Both deeds were dated January 17, 1775, and record
ed February 16, 1775. Burwell Maclemore survived all his br
others (including Joel, who was considerably younger), an
d he apparently survived at least one child and his wife Am
y as well. Neither his first born daughter Sally nor his wi
fe is mentioned in his will, which was dated September 21
, 1793, and admitted to probate October 4, 1798. (B. F. McL
emore His Ancestors and Descendants, James L. McLemore II
I (c. 1991) pp. 81-82).
Amy Gilliam Fortain Gilliam married James MacLemore in the early l700's
. Amy Gilliam married Burwell MacLemore Sr., James' grandso
n. Does anyone know how Fortain and Amy are related? I wa
s under the impression that Amy's parents were Charles Gill
iam and Mary Clanton. Scanning over this forum, it appear
s this may be incorrect. I'll appreciate any help on this.

XBorn in North Carolina, 27 Oct. 1810. He was known until h
is
death as General Benjamin Trolinger. About 1850 he became i
nterested in
the building of the old North Carolina Railroad through Ala
mance County.
With his characteristic foresight and ability, he secured s
ufficient
stock to permit, in combination with the efforts of others
, the
construction of the line through what is now the present ci
ty Burlington,
North Carolina. Shortly hereafter it became necessary for t
he the
railroad to build shops somewhere betewwn Goldsboro and Cha
rlotte. With
$500.00 borrowed from his father and with such aid as he co
uld secure
from others, he finally got the railroad shops located at B
urlington,
then an unnamed village. By 1855 the shops were built and t
he locality
was known as "Company Shops". Tiring of this name as the vi
llage grew in
size, the citizens of the town, in 1887, finally agreed t
o appoint a
committee which would secure a suitable name fot the town
. The name of
Burlington was finally selected. We can, then in truth sa
y that General
Trolinger was the founder of the present city of Burlington.

"Centennial History of Alamance County 1849 - 1949" by Walt
er Whitaker. Printed in the United States by the Dowd Press
, Inc. Charlotte, NC
EXCERPTS:
In 1850, the General Assembly had chartered a North Carolin
a Railroad Company and authorized it to issue $3,000,000 wo
rth of stock to build a railroad from Goldsboro to Charlott
e. The State, itself, promised to buy two-thirds of this st
ock as soon as private investors raised the other $1,000,00
0.
And which way was this railroad going to run? That was th
e main question which everyone was asking. Well, said the c
ompany engineers, the shortest distance was by way of Pitts
boro and Asheboro-but there were a lot of curves and stee
p grades along that route. Maybe they would build it by wa
y of Hillsboro and Graham and Greensboro. It was twenty mil
es farther that way-
General Ben Trollinger, who ran the cotton mill at Haw Rive
r, suggested that the road be constructed by his mill. He w
as willing to build the bridges which would be needed acros
s the river. Several other influential men backed up his id
ea. The railroad must come through Alamance County, they sa
id. And so it did.
-----------------------
General Trollinger and his brother-in-law, Dr. D. A. Montgo
mery, completed the Haw River Bridge on September 12, and t
he railroad was extended to Graham on September 18 and to G
ibsonville by October 15. The eastern and western spans o
f the track, built separately, were joined at Greensboro o
n January 29, 1856, and the first trains passed through o
n the following day.
------------------
Before the first rails were laid, the North Carolina Railro
ad Company selected a location where they could build repai
r and maintenance shops. It was a good, well-elevated piec
e of land slightly west of the village that is now Glen Rav
en, almost equally distant from both ends of the railroad
. The Board of Directors had turned down Greensboro, Hillsb
oro, Goldsboro and several other cities in favor of this si
te. With confidence they sent agents to buy the necessary l
ots. They were shocked when it suddenly became apparent tha
t the people in western Alamance did not want the railroa
d shops and that they could not be persuaded to sell land t
o the railroad.
Slightly affronted at this refusal, the directors put thei
r heads together once more and chose a second site. They co
uld route the tracks a block north of the Alamance County C
ourthouse in Graham and would build the shops on the edge o
f that small village.
The news struck Graham like a swarm of bees. Preposterous
! To have their neat little village ruined by a railroad. T
hink of all the smoke and noise. Why, think of the menace t
hose iron monsters would be to wandering lives

d as a volunteer three times
during the Revolutionary war, worked his fathers saltpete

gunpowder between tours, and was father of ten children o

Henry's revolutionary war service is told in his own word
s as recorded in a
court record of Orange County North Carolina in September o
f 1832.  Although
he was born and died in North Carolina, acording to his tes
timony and his Gravestone [cem]
his father moved them to Virginia sometime in 1776 where th
ey manufactured
gun powder for the revolutionary war effort.
In the summer of 1779 he was drafted into the Montgomery Co
unty, Virginia Militia
under Captain Abraham Trigg.  This tour was one of searchin
g for supplies
including "to find gun, horse & ammunition."  Marching on f
oot they joined
with Col Campbell mounted militia and all "about 400 in num
ber"
marched to the Western part of North Carolina.  Headquarter
s was
established in the Monravian Towns and and from there excur
sions were
made where they encountered tories, "some of whom they whip
ed, others they
hanged."
Towards the end of this three month tour they marched to Mo
ngauton, and this
mission acomplished Col Campbell and his mounted militia se
perated.  The the
Montgomery Militia returned to Virginia, probably in Octobe
r, and were  released
from this tour of duty a few days after arriving home.
Throughout the winter of 1779-1780 Henry manufactured gunpo

his father and possibly his brother John.

A Brief History of Haw River, North Carolina
In 1745, Adam Trollinger established a homestead on the ban
ks of the Haw River. From that beginning, the community o
f Haw River was developed. Trollinger was a native of the R
hine River valley in Germany and had lived in Pennsylvani
a before heading south to seek a new life. His settlement w
as very near the site of an earlier Sissipahaw Indian Villa
ge. Trollinger chose the spot because it had an easy crossi
ng while nearby the river moved with enough power to driv
e a mill wheel.
In 1748, Adam's son, Jacob, built a grist mill, one of th
e first industries in the wilderness area. A village know
n as Trollinger's Ford grew up around the mill.
Lord Cornwallis passed nearby during the last days of the R
evolutionary War. His foraging soldiers raided Trollinger'
s mill and confiscated the miller's grain. When Jacob confr
onted the redcoats, they bound him to a tree with a bridl
e bit in his mouth. Upon his release, Trollinger sent two o
f his sons and a slave to help fight the British.
Benjamin Trollinger built the first part of the Granite Mil
l in 1844, marking the beginning of the textile industry i
n the village. It is the only ante-bellum mill building i
n Alamance County still in use. Since that time, the develo
pment of the town has been inextricably linked to events a
t the mill.
In 1849, the North Carolina Railroad was chartered and Benj
amin Trollinger secured its passage through the mill town b
y building a railroad bridge over the river at his own expe
nse. The town became known as Haw River Depot. Benjamin Tro
llinger also was instrumental in locating the railroad repa
ir station at Company Shops a few miles west.

Miscellaneous: Note:
Please read the research notes section of this record expla
in George's dates of birth and death.
George Clapp was born on Apr 17, 1739 in Oley, Berks, PA. G
eorge son of Ludwig married Anna Elizabeth Albright, daught
er of John Christian Albright Sr and Elizabeth Gertrude Ric
k, on Jul 4, 1766 in Oley, Berks, PA. Anna Elizabeth was bo
rn May 15, 1746, in Oley, Berks, PA. She died Nov 2, 1839
, in Guilford, NC, and was buried at the Brick Church in Gu
ilford. A traditional tale is told that with the encouragem
ent of his father, George walked all the way back to Pennsy
lvania, married Elizabeth Albright, and made the return tri
p to North Carolina with his wife in a one horse wagon.
George is shown on the Fred Hughes map as having a deed whi
ch was dated 1757. George may or may not have been the on
e who donated the land for the Brick Church. The property w
as located the current Guilford County barely inside McCull
och Tract #11, at a latitude west of Low's Church, and abou
t halfway between his brother Barnet's land and the curren
t Rowan County line.
George, his brothers John and Ludwig Jr., and his cousin Ge
orge Tobias Sr. were all Regulators and participated in th
e Battle of Alamance which was fought most heavily on May 1
6, 1771. The battleground appears to have been less tha
n a mile from George's parents' home. Brother Barney was kn
own to be a Regulator.
On Jul 12, 1778 George Clapp received an equal share of 9
5 Pounds 11 Shillings distributed by his mother Margaret t
o each of her children from his father's estate. He appeare
d on the census of 1790 in the Salisbury District, NC. Geor
ge was the head of household with 3 males under 16, 2 male
s over 16, 3 females, and 5 slaves. His cousin George Tobia
s is also listed as "George". On the census of 1800, page 6
43, the record shows 2 males 10-16, 3 males 16-26, 1 male 4
5 and up, and 1 female 45 and up. He died on Dec 18, 1806 i
n Guilford, NC, at age 71. He was buried at the Brick Churc
h, Guilford, NC, in Row 4U, Grave 14.

Christian married Elizabeth Rick in 1745 and had 13 childre
n. This couple lived and died in Berks County. They were me
mbers of the Bern Reform Church in Berks County. Christia
n became one of the largest land owners in this section o
f Pennsylvania.
Three of their children, Elizabeth, John William and John R
ick followed their uncles, Jacob and Ludwig to North Caroli
na.
1722 - 1797 Elizabeth Gertrude Rick 75 75 1697 - <1752 Johannes (von Oberengstrimgen) Albrecht 55 55 Three of Johannes Albrecht's children, Jacob, Ludwig, and B
arbara, left Berks Co., Pa for Orange Co., N,C. in the 1760
's. High taxes and land prices probably prompted their move
. They settled in the Haw River plains of northern North Ca
rolina, an area of rich farm land. The Albrecht's settled a
long Alamance and Stinking Quarter Creeks. This part of Ora
nge Co. was later divided to form Alamance [1849] and Guilf
ord Counties.
One of the first churches founded was a union of the Luther
an and Reformed faiths in SE Guilford Co. near the presen
t site of Laws Church along the old road from Hillsboro t
o Salisbury. In 1813 the congregation constructed a brick c
hurch using local clay. It is said to be the first brick ch
urch in N.C. and used until 1967 when a modern building wa
s built next door. The "Old Brick Church" is located six mi
les south of Nurlington. Records at the church were kept i
n German until 1813 when the State decreed that English b
e spoken and taught in all public schools.
Several pioneer Albright's are buried there, including Ludw
ig's and his wife, Anna Marie Keller. The original headston
es were in German and were replaced with English language i
n the 1930's.
Nearby is a colonial brick home now owned by Ruby [Clapp] P
entecost, an Albright descendant. This home was built by Da
niel Albright, Ludwig's grandson in 1842. Located near a la
rge flat rock, the home is known as "The Flat Rock Daniel A
lbright Home." Nearby is another early German Reform Church
, Stoner's [Steiner's] Church, located at the confluence o
f the Alamance and Stinking Quarter Creeks. The first elder
s were Jacob Albright, Peter Sharp, and John Foust, husban
d of Barbara Albright. Jacob and Barbara and their spouse
s are buried in the Stoner's Cemetery.
Two miles west of Stoner's Church and five miles south of t
he city of Graham is Mount Harmon Church which was establis
hed on a tract of land donated by George Albright, son of D
aniel and Catherine Loy.
Just south of the town of Alamane is the old St. Paul grav
e yard where many Albrights are buried. The cemeteries of t
he Pleasant Hill Christian Church near Snow Camp and the Ca
ne Creek Quaker Church [founded in 1751] in the same area a
lso contain the graves of many ancestors. Also the cemeter
y of the Buffalo Presbyterian Church founded in 1756 at Gre
ensboro, Guilford County, has many Albright graves of the 1
8th century.

19 October 1732 - Another picture of Suffering and Hardship.
"Sunday last arrived here Captain Tymperton, in 17 weeks fr
om Rotterdam, with 220 Palatines -- 44 died in their passag
e. About three weeks ago, the passengers dissatisfied wit
h the length of the voyage, were so imprudent as to mak
e a mutiny, and being the stronger party, have ever since h
ad the government of the vessel, giving orders from among t
hemselves to the captain and sailors, who were threatened w
ith death in case of disobedience. Thus, having sight of la
nd, they carried the vessel twice backwards and forwards be
tween our capes to Virginia, looking for a place to go asho
re, they knew not where. At length they compelled the sailo
rs to cast anchor near Cape May, and eight of them took th
e boat by force and went ashore; from whence they have bee
n five days coming up by land to this place. The eight me
n were committed to prison."*
"Swiss & German Pioneers by Eshleman p-245."
This accounts for the tradition that Hendrich came with hi
s wife and sons to America. They may have actually starte
d together. Ordinarily 10 to 12 weeks were quite sufficien
t to make the passage. But these people saw no land after 1
6 weeks. The rest of the family were on the "Johnson" of Ho
lland-Amerika Linie from Rotterdam which landed in Philadel
phia on 9 September 1732.
This ship was the pink "John and William" which reached Phi
ladelphia on 17 October 1732, under Captain Tymperton fro
m Rotterdam, according to vol. 17 second series of Pennsylv
ania Archives, page 72. A "pink" is a narrow sterned vessel
. There were 98 women and children and about 71 men on th
e passenger list according to the account found in Swis
s & German Pioneer by Eshleman p-245.

~1670 - 1750 Anna Elizabeth Folsom 80 80 ~1711 - 1777 Johann Ludwig Klapp 66 66 Late one autumn evening in the year 1748, three emigrant fa
milies from Berks County, Pennsylvania, came upon a small
, clear spring, deep in the Carolina woods, and being wear
y from their long day's Journey, decided to make camp at th
is place for the night.
Nearby lived an old German, and the sound of the campers' a
xes as they chopped wood for the campfire, soon attracted t
he settler to their camp. Great was the old man's surpris
e when he discovered that the travellers were not only fro
m the north, but that they were his former neighbors- Geor
g and Ludwig Klapp, and their brother-in-law, whose name wa
s Hunter.
The following day was the Sabbath, and the Klapps and Hunte
rs and their host spent it in exchanging stories about th
e country which they had left behind them and the beautiful
, forest land into which God had mysteriously led them. O
n Monday, Herr Hunter and his family bade their kinsmen goo
dbye and headed their wagon westward, but the Klapp brother
s and their families remained behind.
A short time later, the Klapps bought a tract of land alon
g Beaver Creek, and within a few months after their arriva
l in the wilderness they had erected homes and had settle
d down to a new life.
These two families, and the other "Pennsylvania Deutsch" fa
milies who were to follow them, built the first Lutheran an
d Reformed churches in what is today Guilford and Alamanc
e Counties.
Like their Quaker and Presbyterian neighbors, these pionee
r Germans had brought their Bibles with them, and since the
re were no ministers among them, they were obliged to rea
d the Word for themselves, and to worship privately in thei
r homes.

BIOGRAPHY: On Sept. 27, 1727, Ludwig was included as one o
f the six men in the family group who took the Oath and sig
ned his name "Johann Ludwig Clap".
He married Anna Margaret Strader about 1734 in Oley, Berks
, PA. Proof of her last name has not been found, but Strade
r has been generally accepted. She was born Aug 16, 1718, i
n Germany, and she was known as Margaret. All but the las
t two children, John and Esther, were born in Pennsylvania
. In 1745, Ludwig's brother Valentine and others moved to N
orth Carolina and sent word back encouraging Ludwig to foll
ow. As noted in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly
, June 1979, p. 136, Ludwig sold his property in the Oley V
alley of Pennsylvania to Jacob Easterly on August 17, 1751.
The Fred Hughes map of the current Guilford County, NC, sho
ws a 1751 acquisition by will or deed within the McCulloc
h Tract #11 in the name of "Barned" Clapp. The tract was lo
cated near Beaver Creek, at a latitude west of Low's Church
, and a longitude corresponding to about the middle of th
e current Guilford County. Tradition says the family firs
t settled in the Beaver Creek section. Low's Church is loca
ted at the intersection of North Carolina State Routes 61 a
nd 62, south of Interstate 40.

BRICK CHURCH RECORDS,
GERMAN REFORMED CHURCH, GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C.
"The title page of the original record book, as translate
d into English, was "Church Book of the Reformed." Further
, "Congregation on Beaver Creek in Orange County and Guilfo
rd County, North Carolina, and is the beginning, at the tim
e, Anno Dom 1772 and Samuel Suther a preacher of the Reform
ed Church by the Grace of God in Christ Jesus Our Lord. Til
' December 16, 1781." "The Church on Beaver Creek" was th
e first name given the Church. "The Klapp Church" was the s
econd name given the Church. "The Brick Church" was the thi
rd and last name given the Church. (Offman's note: "Guilfor
d County was enlarged and taken in the Church during this t
ime is why both counties are mentioned.") (Editor's note: G
uilford County was formed 1771 from parts of Rowan and Oran
ge Counties. The eastern third of present-day Guilford Coun
ty was part of Orange County from 1752 until 1771; present-
day Almance County was formed in 1849 from Orange County, a
nd from 1752 until 1849 was a part of Orange County. Bric
k Church is located in Guilford County, just west of the Gu
ilford-Almance Counties line, in the fork formed by highway
s 61 and 62, about 5 or 6 miles south of the town of Whitse
tt - or, about 3 miles west of Alamance Battleground. Thus
, members of Brick Church resided in Orange County up unti
l 1771, then in Guilford and Orange Counties from 1771 unti
l 1849, and in Guilford and Alamance Counties beginning i
n 1849.)"
"Brick Church was reformed, followers of John Calvin. In 19
34, Brick Church became Evangelical Reformed, and in 1957 t
hey joined the Congregational Christian Church to form th
e United Church of Christ."
Throughout this collection of family line, the Brick Churc
h and reference to the specific Counties of North Carolin
a will be mentioned. The above information was taken fro
m a "contribution by Calvin Hinshaw, Julian, North Carolina

s of the Alamance-Guilford-Orange-Randolph Counties area, i
ncluding Albright, Amick, Coble, Foust, Greeson, Ingold, Mo

, John Fowler (4) was born in 1638 in England. (1) He die
d in 1687. (1) John Fowler came to America somewhere betwee
n 1650 and 1660, but in 1662 he recieved grants of land o
n the Appomatox River. In 1673 he received another grant o
f land from Sir William Berkley, govenor, for the transport
ation of eight persons to the colony. The territory in whic
h John Fowler settled was then on the bordr of civilization
. When the first colonist sought a site for a settlement i
n the vicinity in 1607, they found an Indian town near th
e mouth of the Appomatox, present site of Petersburg, and n
earby was the village of Matoax, home of Pocahontus, one o
f Virginis's most romantic figures. Fort Henry was bult b
y Governor Berklely in 1646, and many exploring expedition
s went out from this frontier post. The nearby Indian tradi
ng post called Peters Point, established by Major Peter Jon
es, later grew into the present city of Petersburg. John Fo
wler settled just across the Appomattox from Fort Henry an
d there laid the foundation in America for the House of Fow
ler. John Fowler was no doubt a member of the Society of Fr
iends before he came to America and perhaps he knew Georg
e Fox, the Puritan silk weaver who, at the age of 25 establ
islhed the Society of Friends, who later came to be known a
s "Quakers." George Fox visited John Fowler's home on a vis
it to America in 1672, and it was from the vicinity in Joh
n Fowler lived that so many of the members of that faith we
nt forth to establish the Society of Friends in other secti
ons. Godfrey Fowler, youngest son of John Fowler, was als
o a Quaker and was prominent in their councils. SOURCES--Se

ichard the Lionhearted of England, Philip II of France, an

r came into prominence. He took with him and maintained dur
ing this crusade to Palestine a body of British bowmen, al
l of whom were his own tenants.
The Third Crusade has been described as a "glorious but fru
itless effort for the recovery of Palestine." However, Rich
ard Fowler's services were so brilliant that King Richard b
estowed upon him the crest with our family's present coat-o

1370 Elizabeth Barton ~1340 John Fowler John FOWLER(1) was born about 1340 in Sherbourne, Oxford, E
ngland. The earliest traces of the sturdy name of Fowler da
te from the time when fierce invaders form the North were c
hanging the map and history of Europe by their sweeping inv
asions of France, and later England. This name is of ancien
t Anglo-Norman orgin, and comes from the Anglo-Saxon word "
Fugal", meaning fowl. However, most of the Fowlers in Ameri
ca are of English descent. It seems that the early bearer
s of our name not only "pursued and captured wild fowl", bu
t also sold them, for in its early form the French suffix
, "ere", following "fowl" meant an agent or dealer. Old Eng
lish and early American records carry frequent mention of t
he name in various forms, such as "Fouler", but "Fowler" i
s the generally accepted form. Long before they accompanie
d William the Conqueror during his conquest of England, th
e early Fowlers seem to have taken part in the successful i
nvasion of France, under the leadership of the Norseman Rol
fe, or Rollo, who conquered that country about the beginnin
g of the Tenth Century, But although they were able to over
come the inhabitants of the country in battle, Rolfe's me
n could not withstand the civilization they found there an
d soon assumed the ways and customs of the land. For centur
ies, Gaul, or France, had felt the influence of Roman civil
izastion, and eventually there existed there a fusion of Fr
ench, Roman Teutonic and Norse races, all speaking the fren
ch tonque. Accross the channel lay England, which was to b
e the home of the Fowlers for many centuries. According t
o science, the British Isles were in prehistoric times a pa
rt of the Continent, but since it lay, in island form, to
o far West to benefit by the early civilizing influences o
f the countries bordering the Mediterranean, it was stil
l a wild country when others had reached civilizastion t
o a high degree. Caesar's main plurpose in conquering Brita
in lay in keeping the wild inhabitants of the country fro
m invading Gaul, but even while Britain was under Roman dom
inance, she experienced numerous invasions from other races
. From the North, in what is now Scotland, came the ravagin
g Picts. From Ireland came the Scots, who later settled i
n Scotland. From across the channel came the Danes and Angl
es, the last of whom perhaps did more than any other race t
o totally subject the Britons prior to the coming of the No
rmans. As duke of Normandy, the man who was to become know
n as William the Conqueror had only a far-fetched claim t
o the English crown. But when he found that Harold had bee
n chosen King of England to succeed King Edward, in January
, 1066, he imediately put in a claim for the crown himself
. During the whole of that spring and summer, ships for hi
s English invasion were being built in the Norman harbors
. William met Harold in battle on October 14 that year, an
d no doubt a number of the Fowlers who went to England abou
t that time took part in the famous conflict. Although Will
iam had 10,000 trained norman fighters with him, it was onl
y after using various stratregic maneuvers that he got th
e English army, with smaller force, to move down from thei
r position on a hill, and thus offer his men a chance to ma
ke a sucessful attack. Finally, finding the weapons of hi
s archers were not laying down the deadly fire he expected
, he ordered his men to shoot their arrows into the air. Th
e bowmen obeyed and a shower of arrows rained upon the Brit
ish, one of them piercing Harold's eye, stretching him life
less on the ground. On Christmas day, 1066, William was cho
sen king by acclamation at Edward's Abbey at Westminister i
n London. The Normans outside mistook the shouts of applaus
e for a tumult against their Duke, and set fire to the hous
es around. The English rushed out to save their property, a

Fowlers went to England with William the Conqueror in 106

Second cousin means that two people, Robert Hambleton and A

ot Alexander Hamilton was a member of the Hamiltons of Camb
uskieth. His parents names were James the fourth and Rache

From The Adventurers of Purse and Person we find that Eliza
beth Spencer
was the second wife of Robert Sheppard. Robert patented 30
0 acres at the head
of Chippoakes Creek, current Surry County, 19 July 1635. H
e was a Burgess for
James City County from 1646 until 1648. In 1652/3 he was re
ferred to as
"Robert Sheppard of Lawne's Creek, Gent.", at which time Sh
eppard deeded
1100 acres at the mouth of the creek to Lt. William Caufiel
d. Sheppard was
deceased before 5 July, 1654, when Elizabeth asked a Mr. Br
ewster to
represent her in a transaction. Chippoakes, named for an In
dian Chief, is now a
lovely park, standing on a cliff overlooking the James Rive
r. This area was first
considered as the location for Jamestowne but the cliffs hi
ndered the
colonists access.
Robert Sheppard and Elizabeth Spencer had three sons, John
, Robert, and
William, all of whom died without issue. Only their daughte
r, Anne
Sheppard, who married Thomas Hart, carried the bloodline.
Elizabeth (Spencer) Sheppard then married "Thomas Warren o
f Smith's Fort,
Gent." Mr. Warren had served as a Burgess in 1644 when he w
as only twenty
two years of age. He and Elizabeth may have had one child
. From
Genealogies of Virginia Families, Volume IV, 1981, we fin
d the following: On September 23, 1654, Elizabeth (Spencer
) Sheppard, widow, and Thomas Warren of Smith's Fort, Surry
, Gent., entered into a premarital contract in which Elizab
eth was to retain the estate of her deceased husband, Majo
r Robert Sheppard, including one gold seal ring marked D. S
., one pair of silver tongs marked R. S., and one silver in
k horn marked I. S. Mr. Warren was also to give certain hor
ses and cows to her children Anne, John, Robert, and Will
. Priscilla and Susanna Sheppard, daughters of Major Sheppa
rd and his first wife Priscilla -, were also mentioned.
Thomas and Elizabeth (Spencer) Sheppard Warren lived at Smi
th's Fort
Plantation in Surry County, Virginia. Warren had built hi
s house two years
prior to their marriage on land which he had purchased fro
m Thomas Rolfe,
son of John Rolfe and Pocahontas. For many years it was bel
ieved that the
existing house was indeed the Rolfe house. John D. Rockerfe
ller purchased
the house and saved it from destruction, as the previous ow
ner was selling the
"Rolfe bricks" to tourists at one dollar apiece. It was lat
er found that the
Rolfe's never lived on the south side of the James. It wa
s then assumed to
have been built by Thomas Warren and therefore carried hi
s name and for a
number of years a handsome brass plaque declaring such coul
d be seen beside
the front door. A core of wood taken from a beam has prove
n that this
house was not built until about 1760, thus by the Falcone
r family. It is now
thought that the Warren house burned to the ground in 1710
. The current house
is built on the foundation of Thomas Warren's "fifty foot h
ouse". The larger
and rougher foundation bricks can be seen in the "dayligh
t basement", which
also houses the gift shop. The Warren House was recorded a
s a one story
dwelling and Holtsclaw's volume on the Spencer family refer
s to it as having
been a stone house. No doubt, however, our Elizabeth move
d within these
old walls, perhaps helping to select foodstuffs from the co
ol root cellar for the
evening meal.

~1498 - 1542 John Manning 44 44 He was the first of the Mannings who is specified in land t
ransactions as "of Downe".
He is also said to have probably been born about 1480.
He was also said to have died in 1543 in Brandon, Sufolk Co
unty, England.
He was also said to have died in 1553 at Downe where he an
d his wife Agnes are both buried.
"Through the removal of John Manning (the elder son of Hug
h Manning of St. Mary Cray above mentioned) to Downe the in
terest of our New Englanders becomes transferred to that pa
rish, since it is from this John Manning that so many New E

"On division of their inheritance the manor of Downe was al
lotted to the eldest daughter, Agnes; and her husband, Joh

~1465 - 1520 John Petley 55 55 In 1503, he was appointed attorney to convey seisin of lan
d in Cudham and Chellesfield. He was a yeoman who seems t
o have entered into a partnership with John Manning in th
e acquisition of property from Richard Godarde in 1501 an
d from Thomas Farthing in 1506.
According to the 1584 Visitation of Kent, he died 1 Oct 152
0.
There was an inscription in the south window of the churc
h at Downe which referred to John Petley of Trowmer, his wi
fe Christina and their parents.
He "lived in the reign of K. Henry VIII. He died without ma
le issue, leaving by Christiana his wife, daughter and hei
r of Thomas Philipott, four daughters, his coheirs, of who
m Agnes, the eldest, was married to John Manning of Downe E
sq. (above named)"
~1469 Christiana Philipott The Philipotts family derived its name from the estate of P
hilipotts in the parish of the same name located three mile
s from Tunbridge, Kent. "The estate was once reputed a mano
r, the memory of which has long since obliterated, and th
e house and estate dwindled away. That it gave name to th
e family that occupied this estate is evident from a deed d
ated 28 Edward I (1299) in which John de Philipott, of Phil
ipotts, demised lands to Robert Charles, Bailiff of Tunbrid
ge forest. The property remained for many generations in th
e family, until Thomas Philipotts died leaving an only daug
hter and heir, Christiana, about the middle of Henry VIII'
s reign (1509-1547).
1431 - 1502 Hugo Manning 71 71 He settled in St. Mary Cray which is but six miles north o
f Cowdham, his ancestral home.
The Visitation pedigree of the Manning family has him marri
ed to the aunt of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. Althoug
h no documentary evidence of this marriage can be found, i
t is probably correct. She would have to have been one of t
he two Margarets, daughters of Sir William and Elizabeth Wi
ngfield Brandon. In later discussion with the author (Joh
n Thelfall) he no longer believes that this connection is l
ikely.
Hugh Manning died at Cray in 17 Henry VII (1502-3) accordin
g to the Visitation report.
He is also said to be of Kevington, St. Mary Cray.
He "was of St. Mary Cray and married the daughter of Sir Wi
lliam Brandon, knt. kinswoman to Charles, Duke of Suffolk
, by whom he had two sons, John, who settled at Downe, fro
m whom descended the Mannings of Downe, Halsted and Westerh
am - and Richard, who continued at St. Mary Cray, and had t
hree sons."
"Hugh Manning, who was of St. Mary Cray, and married the da
ughter of Sir William Brandon, kinswoman to Charles duke o
f Suffolk, by whom he had two sons, John, who settled at Do
wne, from whom descended the Mannings of Downe, Halsted, an
d Westrham; and Richard, who continued at St. Mary Cray, an
d had three sons".

(Research):Note:
Hugh Manning lived in Saint Mary's Cray, Kent, which is bu
t sex miles north of Cowdham, his ancestral home. The Visit
ation pedigree of the Manning family has him married to th
e aunt of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, that is, a daug
hter of Sir William Brandon. No documentary evidence of thi
s marriage or any relationship can be found. Probably ther
e was some more remote relationship that gave rise to the l
egend. If true, she would have to have been one of the tw
o Margarets, daughters of Sir William Brandon and Elizabet
h Wingfield, and there would have been a royal lineage thr
u the Wingfields. Hugh and his wife died early and that hel
ps explain the lack of records for them. St. Mary's Cray, w
ith its church dedicated to Saint Mary, lies five miles NN
E of Downe, Kent. Within this church lies Hugh Manning an
d his wife and several more generations of this family. The
re is a mural monument for one of the Mannings and a fine b
rass memorial to Richard Manning, and his wife Rachel, he t
he grandson of Richard, son of Hugh.

On 13 March 6 Henry IV (1404/1405) John Mannyng made an exc
hange with Elena Smyth of a field called Walkelinisfeld fo

o his father John Manning.
"his son [of John, Sr] of the same name, was also of that p

She was the daughter and heir of Richard Brockhill, relic

~1380 Richard Brockhill 1365 - 1412 John Manning 47 47 In 1405 he exchanged Wakelins Field in Downe for two field
s below Cudham Park. On 7 Dec 1407 he was one of eight me
n commissioned to collect taxes in Kent.
"In his account of St. Mary Cray, Hasted (Vol. I., p. 141

In 1365/6 he and his wife Katherine conveyed to Robert att

atherine from John Fisher upon the death of Alice, John Fis
her's wife (full text on file). One or both may have been K
atherine's parents.
Simon Manning was a witness to a grant in fee simple date
d 22 Sept 1367. In 1375, Robert atte Wode assigned to Infor

Simon Manning certain rents of 5 marks per year.
In 1367, William Newport sued Manning (then described as o
f East Greenwich) for cutting down his trees at Cudham, als
o for an account for the time when Manning had been Newport
's receiver. Robert Atwood, Manning's fellow defendant, app
ears to have been the principal debtor in the case. In 1375
, Newport sued Robert Atwood and Simon Manning, both then o
f East Greenwich, for a debt of 60 pounds each.
He witnessed a deed relating to land in Downe parish in 138
2.
On 13 Nov 1386 Chaucer undertook a plea of debt, Simon Man
ning of Kent being one of the defendants to appear in the c
ourt of Common Pleas on 27 Jan 1386/7.

1307 - 1367 John le Chaucer 60 60 (Research):Father of Geoffrey Chaucer, the poet
John Chaucer himself was a citizen and vinter of London, th
e son of Robert le Chaucer, who, in 1310, was collector o
f the customs on wine, and who had property at Ipswich an
d elsewhere in Suffolk. In 1349, John was certainly marrie
d to an Agnes whose maiden surname is unknown, who survive
d him and, in 1367, married again: therefore, unless she wa
s the vintner’s second wife, she must have been Chaucer’s m
other. The father seems to have had some link of service wi
th the royal household, and the poet was connected with i
t more or less all his days. Probably he was born in Thame
s Street, London, where his father had a house at the tim
e of his death in 1366.

"Geoffrey Chaucer's father was vintner John Chaucer (b. ab

~1343 - 1400 Geoffrey Poet of "Canterbury Tales" Chaucer 57 57 One of the greatest English poets, whose masterpiece, The C
anterbury Tales, was one of the most important influences o
n the development of English literature. His life is know
n primarily through records pertaining to his career as a c
ourtier and civil servant under the English kings Edward II
I and Richard II.
The son of a prosperous London wine merchant, Chaucer may h
ave attended the Latin grammar school of Saint Paul's Cathe
dral and may have studied law at the Inns of Court.
In 1357 he was page to the countess of Ulster, Elizabeth, t
he wife of Prince Lionel, third son of Edward III; there, h
e would have learned the ways of the court and the use of a
rms. By 1367 Chaucer was an esquire to Edward. About 1366 h
e married Philippa de Roet, a lady-in-waiting to the quee
n and afterward in the service of John of Gaunt, who was Du
ke of Lancaster and Edward's fourth son. (Philippa's sister
, Catherine de Roet Swynford, was Gaunt's mistress; he late
r married her and their children were legitimized by roya
l decree.)
Chaucer served as controller of customs for London from 137
4 to 1386 and clerk of the king's works from 1389 to 1391
, in which post he was responsible for maintenance of roya
l buildings and parks. About 1386 Chaucer moved from Londo
n to a country residence (probably Greenwich), where in 138
6 he was justice of the peace and representative to Parliam
ent. He traveled on several diplomatic missions to France
, one to Spain in 1366, and two to Italy from 1372 to 137
3 and in 1378. In the last year of his life, Chaucer lease
d a house within the precincts of Westminster Abbey. Afte
r his death, he was buried in the Abbey (an honor for a com
moner), in what has since become the Poets' Corner.

?Halstead?s Kent (1797) states that the Mannings came ?fro
m an ancient and
noble family? which took its name from the town Mannheim i
n Saxony. They
came to England before the Conquest from the Roman Villa Ma
nnheim (now
Manheim, Germany) that was in the 8th centure Monastery o
f Larsch, and a
residence of the Elector of the Palatinate. Here Ranulph d
e Mannheim was
Count Palatine in 940. He married Elgida, the aunt of Kin
g Harold,
(1037-1040), was granted in England the site of Downs and o
ther towns in Kent
about St. Mary?s Cray?s where is Manning Hall and the Churc
h in which repose
many Mannings of the past. From Downs, his grandson, Simo
n de Manning was
knighted as he ?was the first of the English Barons to tak
e up the Cross and
go with King Richard (1189-1199), to the Holy Wars? agains
t the Saracens.
His grandson Stephen de Manning was of King Edward?s time (
1272-1302), when
Mannings are recorded in twenty-two English counties. Of th
ese William de
Manning died 1343, and there was Hugh, John, Richard, Edwar
d, Thomas, Peter,
Ranulph, Elizabeth, Anne, and a John, of King Henry?s tim
e (1399-1423). The
towns Manningham, Mannington, Manningtree record the famil
y activities in
England, as ten Manning or Mannington towns in ten of our U
nited States
record such activities here. . . Manning Coats of Arms wer
e granted and
confirmed by the Kent County ?Visitation? of 1577. Cardina
l Manning wrote
from England in 1884, that there were several branches of t

Suffolk, and Norfolk, each having a Coat with shield, cross
, and four tree
foild, but with variations in the crests; all but one beari
ng the motto ?Malo
mori quam foedari? (I would rather die than be disgraced) (
or dishonored or

He died 1810 in Burke County, NC (now Alexander Co.) and wa

Married:
He married Lurannah Sarah VAN SWEARINGEN, daughter of Thoma

n Burks Co. NC and was buried before 1805 in Burks Co.NC.
It has also been suggested that Edward married Sarah Pric
e (born 1720?). The supposed children of Edward & Sarah ar
e given below, although either the d.o.b. for Sarah or th
e dates for her children must be inaccurate. Information gi
ven to the Resource Centre suggests that Edward & Sarah mar
ried in 1734, which again does not fit in either with Edwar
d's other marriage or the children of the supposed marriage
. Any reliable sources for this data would be welcome.
There are also alternative dates/places of birth given fo
r the children of Edward & Lurannah, leading some researche
rs to suggest that they had two lots of children named Vand
ever Swearingen, Edward, John and Lurannah, one group bor
n in Frederick County, VA and the other in Prince George Co

--Records of Carroll H. Teague (Titusville, FL - April 19
, 1966).
Also from the records of Carroll H. Teague:
The first records of the Teagues in America were obtained f
rom "Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents & Grants" dating fr
om 1623 to 1666.
This record listed the following Teagues and their date o
f arrival in Virginia from England:
John Teague, Nov. 27, 1652
Dennis Teague, Aug. 28, 1655
George Teague, Sept. 23, 1663
John Teague, Sept. 26, 1664
There is some evidence that the Teagues might have been i
n America prior to 1652, probably in the settlement of Jame
stown in 1609, but there is no definite proof of this as th
e settlement was wiped out.
There is however, much to be researched on the fact that th
ere was a tribe of Indians living on the coast of Virgini
a in the 1650s by the name of "Ginoteagues," and since the
y could neither read, write nor speak the English language
, the name in and of itself indicates that the early pionee
r Teagues were a contributing factor to the titles. Furthe
r evidence to the Teague influence in that area of the Virg
inia Coast is reflected in the names of Chinoteague,VA, Ass
ateague Island and Pungoteague Inlet. Names just don't ge
t on current maps of the United States without a reason, bu
t for some reason no one seems to know just how or when, o
r why the names were assigned to the particular localities
. Correspondence with the Smithsonian Institution in Washin
gton, DC, the Virginia Historical Society and the College o
f William and Mary leave the question unanswered.
From the above early arrivals, there is one generation of c
hildren that we are not quite sure about as to who is desce
nded from whom, so we move to the first identifiable ancest
or, Edward Teague of Baltimore County, MD, who may have com
e from the Somerset-Worchester, VA, Teagues -- probably th
e son of John Teague or his brother Richard Teague.
From the records of Ann S. Bernard:
Transported by Thomas Jones prior to 8 June 1675. He was b
. about 1655; d. 9 March 1696/97; appraisal 20 September 16
97, by Cornelius Comegy and George Almery, Cecil Co., MD. M
arried Susan, who was b. about 1665; married (2) Emanuel Sm
ith (c1660-1704), of Baltimore Co., MD. Emanuel died 3 Jun
e 1704 - Will named wife, stepchildren; William, Catherin
e and
Ann Teague; Brother, Benjamin Smith; daughters Martha and M
ary under 16.
Edward Teague is the earliest known traceable ancestor o
f a great mjority of the present-day Teague families. The n
ames of his parents have not been found of record, but it i
s believed that he is related to those early pioneer Teague
s who came from England and settled in Virginia in the 1650
s.
The early Teagues settled in Northampton Co., VA. A commiss
ion including Edmund Scarburgh, Randall Revell and John Elz
ey appointed to bring settlers at 50 acres per head. Randal
l Revell's son, Edward, received a grant of land, on his fa
ther's commission, for transporting John Teague among other
s on 27 November 1652. In Nov. 1661, the people of Accomac
k and Northampton Counties, VA, petitioned Gov. Philip Calv
ert to be able to settle in Maryland. John removed to Somer
set Co., MD, and died there in 1675; inventory taken 22 Feb
. 1675. John is probably the father of Edward Teague and fo
r many of these people removed to Cecil County, MD. See als

Comments: It would appear that the John Teague who arrive
d in Virginiawith Edward Revell (son of Randall) and the (e
lder?) John referred toabove in Somerset Cty, MD are the sa
me person. On the same day's Courtrecords in Somerset Count
y, Maryland, there is an entry of:
David Brown is the Securitie for ye appearance of Randall R
evell nextCounty Cort:Acknowledgeth himselfe to Stand indeb
ted unto the LordPropty:in the Sume of ten pounds of Lawful

It has been suggested that Edward Teague was the son of thi
s John Teagueof Maryland, however the above extracts seem t
o disprove this.
As the 6 year old child has "no other relacon in this Count
y", it wouldappear that her father, John Teague, was the Jo
hn Teague Jr referred toin the first extract and that the m
ale family line died out.

D. 1752 Edward Llewellyn Richard Llewellyn (Research): The first Llewellyns in America came from Engla
nd with Lord Baltimore. Sealed in St. Mary’s County, MD sta
unch Catholics. They date from the beginning of this count
y in MD and are all of the ancient line of Llewellyn ap Gri
ffith of Wales.  Llewellyns ap Griffith derived from a Wels
h king, Griffin ap Cynan, King of Noah Wales. He was slai
n 12-10-1282 by forces of Edward I, King of England. He mar
ried 10-3-1278 Eleanor daughter of Symon de Wontfort, Ear
l of Leicester, by Eleanor, widow of William, Earl of Pembr
oke and second daughter of King John of England. Eleanor, w
ife of Llewellyn ap Griffith died in 1280. Their only daugh
ter and heiress, Catherine, married Philip ap Ivor, Lord o
f lsold in Cardiga and had a daughter,m Eleanor, who marrie
d Thomas ap Llewellyn, last lord of South Wales. There wer
e two daughters to this marriage, one, Eleanor, who marrie
d Griffith Vaughan, Lord of Glyndwrdwy. They had issue Owe
n Glendower, and a second son, Tudor ap Griffith, male hei
r of his brother Glendower from whom descended by materna
l representation the Hughes of Gwerclas. The second daughte
r of Eleanor and Thomas ap Llewellyn was Margaret who marri
ed Sir Turor ap Grone, Knight, and was the mother of an eld
est son Mere-dith ap Tudor who was the father of Owen Tudo
r the father of King Henry VII and the royal house of Tudor
. From this line descended the Tudor Kings of England and S
cotland.  Among the early settlers of St. Mary’s county, MD
, was John Llewellyn, a lineal descendant of  Prince Davi
d ap Lleweilyn the Great, whose mother, Princess Joan wa
s a natural daughter of  King John of England by Agatha, da
ughter of Ferrars, fourth Earl of Derby.  The early Llewell
yn immigrants to VA, Daniel in 1637; John in 1655 to Glouce
ster County, VA, and John in 1637 to Charles City County, V
A. All came from St. Marys County in MD, descendants of Joh
n Llewellyn above.  The ancestor of the NC Lewellyns was Wi
lliam who died in Norfolk County, VA, in 1752. He originall
y came to VA from St. Marys County, MD. His wife , France
s Llewellyn died in Tyrrell County, NC, in 1 775. One of he
r daughters, Chloe, born 1747, died 1794, married Thomas Gr
imes, born 1745, died 1797 and the Grimes Family Bible (no
w in Bethel, NC) begins with them. Their son, William Grime
s, born 1769 died 1850 married Talitha Mayo, born 1770 die
d 1855, daughter of Colonel Nathan Mayo and Julia William
s Mayo. I believe that Frances Llewellyn after William’s de
ath in 1752 in Norfolk County, VA came to NC. Her son Joh
n Llewellyn took up land grants in the Conetoe section of M
artin and Edgecombe counties, NC in 1778, 1784, and 1801. S

e of William
Proctor of Nether Bordley to Isabel Lilburn, daughter of Jo

Shawdon, England. [John Proctor who exchanged Shawdon Estat

t John Proctor,
the second son of the second marriage, secceeded under hi

to the land at Dunstan Estate.] The old tower, formerly kno

is generally known. But though the name of the Proctors rem
ains
associated with the place, the family did not retain the pr

pounds. In this way, the old estate of the Wetwangs was add

~1657 - >1702 Hugh Montgomery 45 45 (Research):While it is not yet proven 100% what ancestry th
is Hugh Montgomery has, the following is the history as kno
wn for all Montgomery's who first stepped foot in Ireland f
rom Scotland.
From "The History of the Scottish Clans" pages 182 and 183
, found in Princeton, Ky. library:
" MONTGOMERY, the surname of the noble family of Eglinton
, which traces its descent from Roger de
Mundegumbrie, Viscount de Hiesmes, son of Hugh de Mundegumb
rie and Joceline de Beaumont, niece of Gonnora, wife of Ric
hard, duke of Normandy, great-grandmother of William the Co
nqueror. Roger de Mundegumbrie, thus nearly allied to the r
uling house of Normandy, after having obtained great distin
ction under the Norman banner in France, accompanied his ki
nsman, William the Conqueror, into England, and commanded t
he van of the invading army at the decisive battle of Hasti
ngs in 1066. In reward of his bravery he was, by the Conque
ror, created earl of Chichester and Arundel, and soon afte
r of Shrewsbury. He also received from him large grants o
f land, becoming, in a short time, lord of no fewer than fi
fty-seven lordships throughout England, with extensive poss
essions in Salop.
Having made a hostile incursion into Wales, he took the cas
tle of Baldwin, and gave it his own name of Montgomery, a n
ame which both the town in its vicinity and the entire coun
ty in which it stands have permanently retained. It is no
t known whence the name was derived. Eustace, in his 'Class
ical Tour,' Vol. i. p. 298, mentions a lofty hill, called M
onte Gomero, not far from Loretto; and in the old ballad o
f 'Chevy Chase,' the name is given as Mongon-byrry.
The first of the name in Scotland was Robert de Montgomery
, supposed to have been a grandson of Earl Roger. When Walt
er, the son of Alan, the first high steward of Scotland, wh
ose castle of Oswestry was in the vicinity of Shrewsbury, c
ame to Scotland to take possession of several grants of lan
d which had been conferred upon him by David I., Robert d
e Montgomery was one of the barons who accompanied him fro
m Wales, and received from him the Manor of Eglisham, in th
e county of Renfrew. This was for two centuries the chief p
ossession of the Scottish section of the Montgomeries, an
d still remains their property undiminished as at first. Ro
bert de Montgomery is a witness to the foundation charter o
f Walter, the high steward, to the monastery of Paisley i
n 1160, and to other charters between that year and 1175. H
e died about 1177.
In the Ragman Roll appear the names, of John de Montgomery
, and his brother Murthaw, as among the barons who swore fe
alty to Edward I. in 1296. The former is designated of th
e county of Lanark, which then comprehended the county of R
enfrew. The latter was the reputed ancestor of the Montgome
ries of Thornton. Sir John Montgomery, the seventh baron o
f Eaglesham, one of the heroes of the battle of Otterburn
, married Elizabeth, only daughter and sole heiress of Si
r Hugh de Eglinton, justiciary of Lothian, and niece of Rob
ert II., and obtained with her the baronies of Eglinton an
d Ardrossan. He was, the ancestor of the earls of Eglinton
, as mentioned under that title, where the lineage of tha
t noble family has already given, (see Vol. ii. page 119)
. A baronetcy of the United Kingdom was possessed by famil
y of Montgomery of Macbeth Hill, or Magbie Hill, Peebles-sh
ire, descended from Troilus Montgomery, son of Adam Montgom
ery of Giffen, a cadet of the Eglinton family lining in th
e reigns of James V., and Mary queen of Scots. It conferred
, 28th May, 1774, on William Montgomery of Magbie Hill, bu
t expired on the death of his son, Sir George Montgomery, s
econd baronet, 9th July 1831.
Sir William's brother, Sir James Montgomery, of Stanhope, P
eebles-shire, an eminent lawyer, was also created a baronet
. Born at Magbie Hill, in 1721, be was educated for the Sco
ttish bar, and attained to consider
~1660 Jane Patrick 1619 - 1642 Hugh Montgomery 23 23 (Research):2nd Viscount Montgomerie, succeeded his father a
t the age of 39. After a liberal education, he traveled abr
oad. In 1637, he was made a member of Privy Council. In th
e great rebellion he was appointed Colonel, and took an act
ive part in military movements in Ireland. 1
Jane Alexander Name Prefix:<NPFX> Lady 1560 - 1636 Hugh Montgomery 76 76 1st Viscount of Ardes
HUGH, FIRST VISCOUNT OF GREAT ARDES (1560-1636), was educat
ed at Glasgow College. To complete his education he went t
o France and stayed for some time at the French court. He a
fterwards repaired to Holland. Like his father, he joine
d a Dutch regiment and got a commission as a captain.
After his father's death Montgomery returned to Scotland an
d was received into favour by James VI. Through his brother
, who was at that time Dean of Norwich, Montgomery was abl
e to keep the King informed about the attitude of the Engli
sh nobility and gentry towards his claim to the English thr
one. This source of information was of great value to the K
ing, who later on liberally rewarded Montgomery for his ser
vices.
In 1587 Montgomery married Elizabeth, daughter of Alexande
r Shaw, Laird of Sauchie. The families of Montgomery and Sh
aw were united by many bonds. Hugh Montgomery was appointe
d one of the squires of the body and attended the King on h
is journey to Westminster for the coronation in 11603. He w
as knighted in 1605, and by an Act of Parliament 20th Jul
y 1610 he and his sons Hugh and James were naturalized in E
ngland. On 3rd May 1622 he was raised to the peerage and cr
eated Viscount Montgomery of Great Ardes.
This was not a distinction conferred upon a court favourit
e but the reward of valuable services. Montgomery had acqui
red large estates in Northern Ireland and was the leader o
f the plantation of that country at the beginning of the se
venteenth century. In his letters patent stress was laid up
on his merits, especially in restoring peace and order in U
lster after the rebellion, spreading the Protestant faith a
nd turning the inhabitants of Ardes into the King's loyal c
itizens.
Montgomery's acquisition of big domains in Ulster had take
n place with the King's consent. It was, in fact, a link i
n the policy deliberately pursued by the English Governmen
t of placing reliable Scotsmen on the big estates and in ke
y-positions in Ulster in order to gain complete control o
f this territory. With Ulster securely in their hands the E
nglish Government could more easily master the situation i
n the rest of the country.
A better and more loyal representative for English interest
s than Montgomery could hardly be found. On his arrival i
n Ulster most of the country lay waste. The Irish rebellio
n 1595-1603 had been quelled by the English governors Mount
joy and Chichester with ruthless ferocity. Their policy wa
s to deprive the Irish patriots of all possible means of li
velihood. Towns, villages, farm buildings, woods and corn-f
ields were burnt, with the result that large portions of th
e population died of starvation. In the parishes of Donagha
dee and Newtown there were only about 30 houses in 1606. Th
e churches were stripped of their roofs and left to ruin. U
nder these horrible conditions many people turned cannibals
. Those who died from starvation were eaten up by survivin

Robert de Montgomery, Baron of Eaglesham (also ancestor o
f Robert II of Scotland and Mary Stuart) settled in Scotlan
d and married Marjory Steward, daughter of Walter the Hig
h Steward. Robert died ca 1179 and was also known as Mac Ci

SETTLEMENTS OF ENTAIL AND THE NAME OF MONTGOMERY
BEFORE passing on to the British branches of the family i m
ust be remarked that the name of Montgomery in England Scot
land and Ireland is borne also by others than those who hav
e a lineal descent from the ancient Norman family. This i
s first of all owing to the fact that names in these countr
ies sometimes follow settlements of entail; in other words
, they follow land instead of ancestry. There are also inst
ances where the name ol Montgomery has been adopted for oth
er reasons. On the other hand, it must be noted that certai
n branches of the family use other names, which have been a
ssumed in accordance with settlements of entail.
The sixth Earl, Alexander Seton, adopted for himself and hi
s descendants the names of Eglinton and Montgomery as hei
r to the estate of the fifth Earl (vide p. 115). From the p
oint of ancestry he was a Seton, but his father, Robert, fi
rst Earl of Winton and first Lord Seton, married Margaret
, daughter of Hugh, third Earl of Eglinton, who was a Montg
omery by lineal descent.
There is a practice that the descendants of the sixth Ear
l spell their names with ie at the end, which means Seton b
y ancestry, while the lineal descendants of the Norman Mont
gomerys spell the name with a y.
Certain members of the family of Herbert also use the nam
e Montgomery. Richard Herbert, Esquire, who lived during th
e latter part of the sixteenth century, was the owner of th
e lands of Montgomery Castle in Wales. These lands were inh
erited by his son, first Lord Herbert of Cherbury, who at o
ne time was British Ambassador in Paris. His kinsman, Phili
p Herbert, a younger son of the second Earl of Pembroke, wa
s one of the favourites of James 1. On 9th February 1606 h
e was created Earl of Montgomery, the Montgomery Castle lan
ds being handed over to him. This is the reason why the Ear
ls of Pembroke have adopted the title of Earls of Montgomer
y. Even such a well-informed source as Larousse is ignoran
t of these facts. Lord Herbert of Cherbury, who signed hims
elf de Montgomery as owner of the Montgomery estates in Wal
es, has by Larousse been mistaken for a Montgomery of Norma
n descent.
The family Lyons-Montgomery of Belhavel are Lyons by descen
t, but on the female side their ancestry includes a Montgom
ery. Equally the family Montgomery of Carboldisham are Moly
neux by lineal descent but include a Montgomery.of Broomlan
ds in their ancestry.
Arnulf de Montgomery was at one time Castellan of Pembrok
e Castle. He was succeeded in this office by Gerald, son o
f Walter Fitz Otho, Castellan of Windsor Castle. The famil
y of Carew are said by some to be descended from Arnuff, wh
ile others state that Gerald was their ancestor.
Camden says: 'Upon another creeke also of this haven, Care
w Castle sheweth itselfe, which gave both name and original
l to the notable family de Carew, who avouche themselves t
o have been called aforetime de Montgomery; and have been p
ersuaded, that they are descended from Arnulf de Montgomer
y of whom I spake erwhile' (Britannica, ed. 1637, 651-2).

n William the Conqueror at the battle of Hastings in 1066
. He died August 1, 1095, and is buried in Shrewsbury Abbey
, which church he founded. Roger II bore may titles: In Eng
land he was Earl of Arundel, Chichester, Shrewsbury, Marci

ger was married twice: first to Princess Mabile de Bellem
, daughter of Guillaume Talvas, Prince de Belleme. Mabile w
as a remarkable woman. While her husband was with the invas
ion of England, she led the armies in Normandy and was behe
aded by assassins in December 1082. After Mabile's death Ro
ger lived for a time in Normandy where he married Adelaid
e de Puiset and returned to England.
"Origin and History of the Montgomerys" by B.G. Montgomer
y of Sweden.
The question whether Roger II de Montgomery, Earl of Arunde
l and Shrewsbury, was the son or the grandson of the elde
r Roger has been the subject of much unnecessary controvers
y. With this question has been combined another: whether i
t was the elder Roger or his son Hugo who was married to Jo
sceline, niece of Gunnor, Duchess of Normandy.
The cause of all this discussion is the following statemen
t by William of Jumieges (Vol. VIII, ch. 35): 'Rogerius Com
es, filius Hugonis de Monte Gomerici ... natus est ex quada
m neptium Gunnoris comitissae, scilicet ex Joscelina, fili
a Weviae.' Robert of Caen, Benoit and Francisque Michel hav
e given the same pedigree.
From his own words in the third Charter of Troarn we know
, however, that Roger II was the son of Roger I. This state
ment reads: 'Ego Rogerius, ex Normannis Normannus, magni au
tem Rogerii filius ' (Cartulary of Troarn, fol. I). After t
he discovery of this charter the question was settled.
That Josceline was married to Roger I and mother of Roger 1
1 is clear from the above statement when compared with th
e pedigree given by Ives, Bishop of Chartres, in a letter t
o Henry I. He writes: 'Gonnora et Senfria sorores fuerunt .
.. ex Senfria excivit Joscelina, ex Joscelina, Rogerius -d
e Monte Gummeri, ex Rogerio, Mabilia. soror Roberti Bellime
nsis' (Migne, Patrologia latina, CLXII, 261), This pedigre
e also informs us that Josceline was the daughter of Senfri
e, Gunnor's eldest sister, and not of Wevie as stated by Wi
lliam of Jumieges.
Roger I had by Josceline five sons: Hugo, Robert, William
, Roger and Gilbert. William, we know with certainty, was k
illed during the succession war after the death of Robert I
I. Hugo and Robert probably met with the same fate. In an
y case, they seem to have been dead in 1050 when Roger inhe
rited the feudal domains. That Hugo was older than Roger i
s proved by the fact that he signed an endowment charter o
f Jumieges together with his father. Under his signature wa
s written 'Signuin Hugonis filii ejus'(Rotuli Scacc. Norman
niae, I, 73). Gilbert was poisoned in 1063 by Mabile de Bel
leme (Ordericus Vitalis, II, 8 I, 106-7).
The first time we meet Roger II de Montgomery is during th
e siege of Domfront in 1052. Geoffrey Martel, Count of Anjo
u, had attacked the Duke and by means of treachery come int
o possession of the strongly fortified castle of Domfront
. The Norman army raised in Hienois was commanded by Roge
r de Montgomery, William of Breteuil, the son of Osbern, an
d William of Talou, Count d'Arques, the son of Richard II
. The Duke decided to seize Domfront, but the garrison lef
t by Martel put up a strong defence and the siege was makin
g slow progress. Meanwhile the Duke and his companions-in-a
rms made merry by hawking in the Domfront grounds.
One day a report reached the Duke that the Count of Anjou w
as approaching with a strong army. Now the Duke suddenly fo
und himself between two fires, since the strong garrison mi

"Origin and History of the Montgomerys" by B.G. Montgomer

ROGER I DE MONTGOMERY
Gormeric's eldest son, William, had a son Hugo. His son Rog
er de Montgomery is the first member of the family of who
m one knows with certainty that he used the surname. The Fr
ench historian, the Vicomte Du Motey, calls Roger 'one of t
he most powerful Norman Barons at the end of the tenth
century.'
William the Bastard, the name of the Norman Duke before h
e conquered England and gained the prouder surname of the C
onqueror, was the son of Robert II and Arlette or Herleve
, the daughter of one Fulbert, tanner of Falaise. Judging b
y his great care of churches and monasteries, Roger must ha
ve been a very religious man. No wonder, therefore, that af
ter Robert's death he refused to recognize William, born ou
t of wedlock, as the legitimate heir to the throne. He an
d his sons Hugo and Robert organized the opposition agains
t the young Duke, whose guardian was Allan, Duke of Brittan
y. They struggled against heavy odds, since the Duke's supp
orters were far more numerous, but Montgomery defended hims
elf with great courage and tenacity behind the walls of hi
s castle. Allan died at Vimoutiers during the siege, but i
n the end Montgomery had to surrender. He was banished fro
m the country and went to France, where he was well receive
d by Henry I, who shared his views. Roger died in Paris abo
ut 1040. According to the Cartulary of Troarn, his wife Jos
celine was still alive in 1068.
During Roger's exile his sons remained in Normandy, continu
ing to fight for what they considered a just cause. This st
ruggle eventually developed into sheer vendetta. Allan's su
ccessor as guardian of the young Duke was Osbern de Crepon
, the son of Herfast, brother of Duchess Gunnor. He was a c
ousin of Richard II and also of Roger de Montgomery's wif
e Josceline. In spite of this kinship Osbern pitilessly per
secuted Roger's sons, and one of them, William, determine
d to capture the Duke, who lived with Osbern in the strongl
y fortified castle of Vaudreuil. The guardian watched lik
e a hawk over his precious life, but one night William an
d his confederates managed to penetrate within the castle t
o the Duke's chamber. He was not there, but Osbern, whom th
ey found alone, was summarily strangled. Ordericus says tha
t on this occasion the Duke's life was saved by his uncle G
autier, brother of Arlette, who had hidden him in his bed
. Some days later one of Osbern's men, Bamous de Glos, surp
rised William in his quarters and killed him during his sle
ep. Now the vendetta was accomplished and the way open to r
econciliation between the Duke's party and the Montgomerys.
JOSCELINE Unknown Hugo Baron Of Normandy William (Guilliom) Norman Baron Gomeric Prince Of Denmark Gomeric, Prince of Denmark, built a castle in the souther
n part of the diocese of Lisieux known as Mons Gomerici. Mo
ns means mountain so this would mean Mountain of Gormeric a

t-grandson. Gomeric had three sons: Bernard Danus, ancesto

March 18, 1782 in South Carolina, Calhoun was born, and edu
cated at Yale
College. From 1808 to 1810 an economic recession hit the Un
ited States
and Calhoun realized that British policies were ruining th
e economy.
He served in South Carolina's legislature andwas elected t
o the United
States House of Representatives serving three terms. In 181
2, Calhoun and
Henry Clay, two famous "warhawks", who preferred warto th
e "putrescent
pool of ignominous peace", convinced the House to declarewa
r on Great
Britian.
Calhoun was secretary of war under President James Monroe f
rom 1817 to
1825 and ran for president in the 1824 election along withf
our others,
John Q. Adams, Henry Clay, Crawford, and Andrew Jackson. Ho
wever, Calhoun
withdrew from the race, due to Jackson's support, and ran f
or vice
president unopposed. Calhoun was vice president of the Unit
ed States in
1824 under John Quincy Adams and was re-elected in 1828 und
er Andrew
Jackson.
Jackson was for the Tariff of 1828 and caused Calhoun to b
e opposed to
Jackson, which led to Calhoun's resignation in 1832. Becaus
e he could not
do anything about Jackson's views toward tariffs, which ben
ifitted only
industrial North and hurt slaveholding South, John C. Calho
un became the
only vice president to resign.
Calhoun wrote an essay about this conflict, "The South Caro
lina
Exposition and Protest", in which he asserted nullificatio
n of federal
laws, and in 1832 the South Carolina legislature did just t
hat. The next
year inthe Senate Calhoun and Daniel Webster opposed each o
ther over
slavery and states' rights in a famous debate. In 1844 Pres
ident John
Tyler appointed Calhoun secretary of state. In later year
s he was
reelected to the Senate, where hesupported the Texas Annexa
tion and
defeated the Wilmot Proviso.
John Caldwell Calhoun died in Washington, D.C. on March 31
, 1850 and was
buried in St.Phillips Churchyard in Charleston. In 1957, Un
ited States
Senators honored Calhoun as one of the five greatest senato
rs of all
time.
John Caldwell Calhoun, (1782-1850), kal-hoon', American sta
tesman and
political philosopher. From 1811 until his death he serve
d in the federal
government, successively as congressman, secretary of war
, VICE
PRESIDENT, senator, secretary of state, and again as senato
r. Always he
was at the heart of the issues of his time, notably the nul
lification
crisis and the conflict over slavery. Loyal to his nation
, to his state
of South Carolina, and, above all, to his principles, he so
ught to
preserve the union while advancing Southern interests.
Early Career
Born in Abbeville district, S.C., on March 18, 1782, Calhou
n grew up in
an atmosphere of controversy and social change. The extensi
on of cotton
culture was bringing slavery into the up-country, where sma
ll farmers
like his fatherwere challenging the political dominance o
f the
low-country planters. Calhounwas largely self-educated befo
re he entered
Yale as a junior in 1801. He graduated with honors in 1804
; went on to
law school, in Litchfield, Conn.; andwas admitted to the So
uth Carolina
bar in 1807.
Practicing in his native district, he quickly gained the re
putation that
took him to the state legislature. There, from 1809 to 1811
, he helped
establish an enduring balance of powerbetween South Carolin
a's tidewater
planters and piedmont farmers.
Calhoun'sown future, both socially and economically, was as
sured by his
marriage in 1811 to a wealthy cousin, Floride Bonneau Calho
un. The couple
settled at Abbeville, moving in 1825 to the Fort Hill plant
ation near
Pendleton, the future site of Clemson University.
National Politics
Calhoun entered CONGRESS in 1811. He was one of the group o
f young
nationalists urging war with Britain to redeem America's ho
nor. Calhoun
introduced the war report of 1812, and throughout the conte

f Johann Jost Clapp
BIOGRAPHY: First German Clapp Generation in America:
BIOGRAPHY: Joseph ("Jost") Clapp, was baptized August 29, 1
669, in Istha (aka: Iste), west of Kassel, in Hesse, German
y. For lack of other records, this date has been used as hi
s birth date. He is also known by other variations of his n
ame which include Johann Jost Klapp. He used an initial whe
n he signed his name "Joseph K. Clap" in Philadelphia in 17
27. This is a guess, but the use of the initial "K" could h
ave been the result of some variation old style naming whic
h would have been his given name, then the surname of his f
ather, and then the name of the clan or neighborhood of hi
s family heritage. In his case, his heritage was the neighb
orhood of Bingen and the Klopp castle (Schloss Klopp). He a
pparently spent his early years in Istha and he was confirm
ed in the German Reformed faith in Istha in 1682, at abou
t age 13.
Sometime before the birth of his children, Jost moved to We
isenheim (aka: Weistheim) am Berg, in Pfalz, Bavaria. The a
rea's name became Rheinland-Pfalz in 1948, at the close o
f World War II when Germany was reorganized. Jost married A
nna Margaretha, last name unknown, and the marriage was def
initely not in Istha, but it could have been either befor
e or at the time he moved to Weisenheim. All of the birth
s of Jost's children were in Weisenheim.
In 1704, in Weisenheim, the church recorded the birth of Jo
st's son Jurg (George Valentine) and the municipality note
d Jost paid a new resident registration fee in the fiscal y
ear 1704-1705. Until then it's possible he was a resident o
f the area without the rights of citizenship, but the fact
s are not known. In the fiscal year 1707-08, the municipali
ty bought corn from Jost, reimbursed him for food and drin
k expenses when they had him dispatch a wagon to Kallstadt
, and noted Jost's sale of barley to the schoolmaster. In 1
708-09, Jost sold oats to the clergyman, and in 1710-11, h
e sold 200 liters of wine. Jost was charged for his share o
f the watchman fee in 1715-16, and in then 1716-17, Jost pa
id the municipality for the value of fruit instead of deliv
ering it. In 1721-22, Jost received compenstaion and reimbu
rsement because the master baker died in his house.
Throughout Jost's life, the Thirty Years War was in progres
s. The country was devastated and over the years many, man
y thousands of Jost's fellow Palatinates left Germany. At t
he time when his oldest children began to marry, and the ne
xt oldest were apparently betrothed, Jost transported the
m all to America. Except when Jost's younger son, Ludwig, w
as in nearby Dackenheim, noted in the church entry, "for th
e first time to the Lord's table: Nr. 1, Johann Ludwig Klap
p von Weisenheim am Berg", on June 5, 1726, persons of th
e name were in Weisenheim as late as April 6, 1727, when th
e last Klapp entry was placed in the church record.
The family group of fourteen persons made their way to Rott
erdam, and from there took passage on the ship James Goodwi
ll with David Crockett as ship's master. The captain mad
e a stop in Falmouth, England before continuing across th
e Atlantic and landing in Philadelphia. On Sept 27, 1727
, a total of 53 Palatine men, age 16 or over, took the Oat
h and signed their names signifying their subscription to T
he Declaration of Freedom. Six of those who swore were me
n from our family group, and they were: Joseph Clap, Joha
n Adam Philple, Jorg Valentin Clap, Johann Ludowigh Clap, C
hristian Miller, and Jurg Coch. The other passengers woul
d have been Joseph's wife, his four daughters, George's wif
e and infant daughter, and probably an infant child of th
e Miller couple. After leaving

A bond between William Sugge and John Brown of the Isle o
f wright County,Virginia in1663,may have been for indenture
d servitude, sponsorship for the trip to America, or as a m
arriage bond. John Brown may have been a close relative o
r his father in law. In Norfolk County, Virginia, His Wil
l dated Feb. 10, 1704 with codicil dated Oct.27,1706 in Nor
folk County, names his brothers George and Joseph, his wife
, four sons and two daughters.
correspondence: William SUGGE's first appearance in America
n colonial records was on 20 Mar 1663 when he "[stood] firm
ly bound to John BROWN, Isle of Wight County of Virginia, f
or 58 pounds, 16 shillings of lawful money of England." Thi
s record could be either for indentured servitude, sponsors
hip to America, or a marriage bond. If it was sponsorship t
o America, then it is most likely that John BROWN was relat
ed somehow -- perhaps a half-brother or a cousin. If it wa
s a marriage bond (and some histories say that William wa
s married in 1663) then William's wife could have been a da
ughter of John BROWN.
correspondence: On 23 Apr 1672 William SUGGE made some kin
d of agreement with John BROWN, Isle of Wight County, VA, f
or 29 pounds 8 shillings. On 24 May 1673 he was a Virgini
a planter indebted to William BODY (BODDIE) for 2704 pound
s of good tobacco and cost to be paid, in the Isle of Wigh
t County, VA (from Deed Book 2, page 276, Isle of Wight Cou

1654 Ruth Fenford (Research):An inventory of William's estate was taken to di
scharge his debtors and
filed on August 24, 1708. The inventory is entered in the b
ooks of Norfolk
County, Virginia as of September 15,1708.
Included in the inventory were 32 items, including a hand m
ill, horse, gun,
several iron pots, wedges, axes, handsaws, and other item
s used by a colonial
American in making a living from the land. Very few items o
f furniture were
listed and almost every item was preceded with the descript
ion "old."
It is interesting to consider whether the seader (cedar) bo
x and small box
included could be the cedar box and small box willed to Rut
h Fenford Sugg by
her mother, Sarah Fenford, in 1679.
"From A Sow To A Sparrow--A History Of The Sugg Family," b
y Dorris D. Hendrickson and Paul Hisaw.
While early dates are scarce, Thomas Fenford's will dated S
eptember 23,
1675, names his daughter, Ruth Fenford. On September 16, 16
91, a deed
involving the co-heirs of Thomas Fenford shows that Ruth Fe
nford is now the
wife of William Sugg. That year William and Ruth sold 100 a
cres, apparently land
which Ruth had received from her father, to Henry Fleetwood
. The land adjoined
that owned by Ruth's sister, Barbara Fenford Eldridge.
William Sugg and Ruth Fenford were marriedabout 1683 or 168
4. They
were not married when Thomas Fenford wrote his willin 1675
, but were married
by 1691. And according to William Sugg's will, hiseldest so
n had already
reached age 18, in 1704, making his birth before 1685.
On November 24, 1693, William Sugg purchased land from Will
iam Butts in
Norfolk County, Virginia; and in January of the same year
, he purchased land
from Matthew Caswell.
We do not know when Ruth Fenford Sugg died. From records av
ailable she
must have died between 1679 and 1704.

1704 - 1778 James B. Clark 74 74 (Research):"In the fifty years following the landing of th
e Pilgrims at Plymouth and the English in Virginia, many pe
rsons of the name of Clark left England for the New World
. Some of them, like Richard Clarke, who was a passenger o
n the Mayflower, left no children, but it was the good fort
une of others to found families who have been active in th
e early New England settlements and the Virginia pioneers w
ho so bravely established homes in the wilderness. There i
s a very strong tradition which says that our paternal ance
stor who came to this country, emigrated from England to Vi
rginia, and that his name was John. He came from the Count
y of Kent, England and settled at Jamestown between 1630 an
d 1635.Tradition is that he settled on the James River an
d became a planter; that either on the vessel coming over
, or soon thereafter, he met, and fell in love with a Scotc
h girl, Hannah Wiatt, who became his wife. John died in Jam
estown c. 1645. The pioneer ancestor of the Monroe County
, (West) Virginia line was James Clark of Augusta County, w
ho according to tradition, was the son of John Clark, thir
d in descent from John Clark the immigrant. James Clark set
tled in Augusta County, Virginia in 1740. He was one of Wil
liam Beverley's land agents, and his name frequently appear
s in the records of the county He owned a large plantation(
800 acres) some nine miles southwest of Staunton, near th
e old Glebe Cemetery, and in the area of the old North Moun
tain Meeting House. The land is called "James Clark's Old P
lantation" in the Augusta County Courthouse records. The ol
d home was demolished c. 1928. Records show that James wa
s a member of Captain John Willson's Virginia Militia of 17
42; and that he also served his country in the French and I
ndian War in 1758. (Hening, Volume 7, Augusta County Sectio

t American
Culpeppers. And yet little is known about him for certain
. Other
than this John, and his brother Thomas, there are no know
n Culpepers
with ties to Virginia, old enough to have been the father o
f the first
Henry Culpeper of early Lower Norfolk County, VA. From th
e research
of Fairfax Harrison (see below), we know that although Joh
n was
trained as a lawyer, he took up the career of a merchant in
stead, and
that he was involved in trade between England and the Ameri
can
colonies. And so hereafter, I'll refer to him as John Culpe
per the
Merchant.
John the Merchant may have been the John Culpeper who serve
d for a
time as the sheriff of Northampton County, VA, and who die
d there in
1674. It at least seems likely that he was the John who app
ears in
records in Isle of Wight and Northampton Counties beginnin
g in the
1640's. So it might be logical to assume that he was the Jo
hn
Culpeper in records there in the 1670's as well.
Some, however, think that John the Merchant (born 1606) wou
ld
have been too old to have served as Clerk of Court, and She
riff of
Northampton County in the early 1670's. By that time he wou
ld have
been in his mid-60's. These researchers think it more likel
y that
these later Northampton records refer to John Culpeper, bor
n 1633, son
of John Culpeper and Katherine St. Leger, who would have be
en almost
40 years old in the early 1670's. This John (born 1633), i
s also
thought to have lived in Virginia. Like John the Merchant
, few
surviving records document his life.
There is no record that John, the sheriff of Northampton, l
eft
any descendants, as none are mentioned in his 1674 estate
. Also, his
one known land grant escheated (was returned by default) t
o the state
of Virginia some 20 years after his death.
Those who think that John the Merchant was the one who die
d in
1674 offer various logical reasons why his land might hav
e escheated
back to Virginia, even though they think he did indeed leav
e
descendants.
Others suggest that the 1674 estate was that of John, son o
f
Thomas and Katherine, and that John the Merchant died somew
here else,
perhaps even in Barbados or in England. Further research i
s needed to
clarify these issues. It should be noted that early record
s in many
southern Virginia counties have been lost. Had these record
s
survived, they might have greatly expanded our knowledge o
f the
various early John Culpepers in Virginia.
In addition to John Culpeper the Merchant, and John Culpepe
r the son
of Thomas and Katherine, there was also a third contemporan
eous John,
John Culpeper "the Rebel" of Albemarle, NC, probably born i
n the
1640's. This third John, of Albemarle, also seems to have b
een a
merchant, and may possibly have been the son of John the Me
rchant.
It is difficult to sort out which of the various survivin
g records in
early NC, Virginia, and New England, might pertain to eac
h of these
Johns, and no attempt will be made to do so, at this time
, in this
article.
Merchants in colonial America left few records which have s
urvived
until today, and our knowledge of John Culpeper the Merchan
t suffers
as a result. But from what little we do know, it seems poss
ible that
John the Merchant and his sons may have worked as a agents
, or
"factors" in colonial trade. The following description of t
his sort
of work is excerpted from Perry of London by Jacob M. Price
, page 30:
"There were hardly any towns in the seventeenth century Che
sapeake
except the capitals' of Jamestown and St. Mary's City, an
d they were
places of little commercial importance. Early trading ventu
res to the
Chesapeake had often been entrusted to captains and superca
rgoes who
could travel about and seek out business where settlers wer
e to be
found. The practice, however
~1594 Elizabeth Cheny 1565 - ~1635 John Culpepper 70 70 (Research):Note:
[5479] Second surviving son of his generation, he makes hi
s first appearance
on the existing record as 'my brother John Colepipir's son
, my
godson,' in the 1581 will of his maternal uncle, John Sidle
y of
Southfleet (P.C.C. Darcy, 31; Waters' Gleanings, ii, 969)
. In October,
1587, or soon after the death of his brother William, when
, according
to the later testimony of his tombstone, he would be 17 yea
rs of age,
he was entered at the Middle Temple under the description '
late of New
Inn, gent... second son of John Colepeper of Wigsell, Susse
x, esq.'
(Hopwood, i, 293). Unlike his eldest brother, whose recor
d so far runs
parallel, he had entered upon a professional career. Duly c
alled to
the bar, by 1595 he was having his youthful kinsmen 'bound
' with him,
and in 1599 is listed as a Bencher. Frequenting the househo
ld of his
uncle Francis at Greenway Court, he there met and married h
is first
wife, and after Francis' death established her at Greenwa
y Court (then
the property of his younger brother Alexander), as appear
s from the
baptism of one of his children in Harrietsham; but later h
e occupied a
house in Salehurst, as appears from his elder brother's inq
. p.m.
already cited.
.
That his law practice was profitable, despite his reputatio
n, recorded
on his MI., for composing more litigation that he fomented
, appears
from his ability to subscribe to the Virginia Company unde
r the
charter of 1609; and a year later, under the third charter
, to make
one of the largest individual subscriptions (£37, 10s. 6d.
) to the
'supply' which saved the colony at Jamestown from death b
y inanition
(Brown, Genesis, 218, 407, 546).
.
Having been designated, by the will of his uncle Martin, th
e
contingent remainderman of Astwood in Feckenham, he remove
d his family
to Astwood after the inheritance had become certain by th
e death
without issue of his cousin Sir Stephen12; and there burie
d his first
wife in June, 1612. This occupancy was by arrangement wit
h Dr. Martin
Culpeper's widow, who had a life estate but had meanwhile r
e-married
and removed her residence elsewhere. In 1616 he bought ou
t that aunt's
interest, and then gave over his law practice to become a c
ountry
gentleman. Being now 'of Feckenham,' he became a diligent p
residing
magistrate at quarter sessions; being included, a generatio
n ahead of
Sir Roger de Coverley, of the quorum in the Worcestershir
e commission
from 1618-1628; again, like Sir Roger, in 1624 he served th
e office of
Sheriff of that county 'with music before me, a feather i
n my hat and
my horse well bitted' (Bund, Cal. Quarter Sessions Papers,
Worcestershire, 1591-1643, 1900; Sheriff Lists in Fuller'
s Worthies).
.
But when he was nearly seventy years of age, for what reaso
n does not
appear, he sold Astwood to one Thomas Rich, and returned t
o Greenway
Court to die. There, on December 14, 1635, he made his wil
l and on
December 18th following, as the parish register testifies
, 'Mr. John
Culpeper, Armiger,' was buried in the chancel of Hollingbou
rne church.

[5497] He was named in his father's will (1559) as 'John Cu

. There is no
record of his education. If he was not sent to Winchester l
ike his

the inns of chancery: but he was not admitted to any of th

, to
distinguish him from the other three Johns of his generatio
n.
.
All the public testimonies for him are in the acts of Queen
Elizabeth's Privy Council ranging from 1558 to 1592. Thes

active Justice of the Peace, included in the quorum of th

lieu of a will, and died on October 20, 1612. He was burie
d in
Salehurst, October 21, 1612, as 'Johanes Colepeper, armiger

1532 Elizabeth Sydley 1509 William Culpepper Note:
[5484] William Culpeper of Hunton and Wigsell, born a young
est son, was named
in his father's will (1514) as 'my sonne Willm,' with provi
sion to be
'founde to schole.' That this injunction was carried out an
d that he
was put through grammar school, and sent thence to London t
o reside at
either Barnard's or Staple Inn, may be deduced from his adm
ission to
Grays Inn in 1530 (Foster, fo. 423).
.
This would be the year he came of age, when the deaths of h
is two
elder brothers had already left him his father's heir. Thi
s appears
both from. the contemporary instrument (Harl. Charter, 7
6 H 12) which
confirmed to William as 'son and heir' of his father the di
spositions
of the will of Sir John in favor of Walter; and from his mo
ther's will
two years later.
.
It may be that William Culpeper began life as a practisin
g lawyer. The
earliest public record of him is not in itself inconsisten
t with such
an hypothesis. In 1538 he was included in the long list o
f gentlemen
enrolled as 'servants' to Henry VIII's servant Thomas Cromw
ell, then
Lord Privy Seal and at the dizzy height of his prosperity
; for he was
not part of the household, but one of those who were to att
end only
when called (L. & P. Henry V111, Xiii, pt. 2, p. 497). Th
e patronage
resulting from this service was part of the contemporary sp
oil of the
monasteries. He had a grant of an annuity charged on the pr
iory of
Christ Church at Canterbury, and on March io, 1538/9, the s
eizin of
the lands of the dissolved priory of Losenham, which his Au
cher
ancestor had founded (ibid., xiv, pt. I, p. 224; xx, Pt. I
, p. 324).
.
It is significant that in all these testimonies William app
ears only
in relation to Kent. In his grant of the priory of Losenha
m he is,
indeed, described as 'of Hunton,' while his second son wa
s listed at
Winchester College in 1553 (Kirby, Winchester Scholars, 188
8, p. 132)
by the same qualification. Thus it appears that on his marr
iage, which
took place in 1530 as appears from the record of the famil
y settlement
of that year, William established himself, not at Wigsell
, but in the
midst of the Kentish weald, on the river Beult near its jun
ction with
the Medway. This was an eminently agreeable place of reside
nce, but
Hunton was not a Culpeper lordship. It was vested in the Wy
atts of
Allington (Hasted, ii, 229), a family which, like the Culpe
pers, later
produced a Governor of Virginia.
.
In relation to the Wyatts, William Culpeper achieved also h
is next
appearance in a public record: for when, in January, 1540/1
, Sir
Thomas Wyatt, the poet, was involved in Cromwell's downfal
l and for
some weeks was held a prisoner in the Tower, William Culpep
er was, on
Wyatt's nomination, permitted by the Privy Council to hav
e the custody
of Allington Castle (L. & P. Henry V111, xvi, 229). He di
d not,
however, persistently follow their fortunes. Whether, unlik
e his
youthful kinsmen of Bedgebury and Aylesford, he remembere
d the check
his family had had in the reign of Edward II, whether he ha
d never
accepted the break with Rome (three of his sons were name
d for
saints), or whether it was merely his fortieth year which c
ounselled
prudence, William was loyal to Queen Mary's government in t
he crisis
of 1553 and did not follow the poet's son into 'Wyatt's reb
ellion.'
His record then was that of an active justice of the peace
; at first
in organizing police, and, after the danger had passed, cha
rged with
the custody of sequestered estates (Acts P. C., 1554-56) pp
. 70, 85).
.
In the course of this last duty William moved his residenc
e several
times, which explains why his third son, Martin, was entere
d at
Winchester (Kirby, supra) as 'of Barfriston' in east Kent
. It follows
that it was not until the very end of his life that Willia
m settled
down at Wigsell, where h

t for whom
he was named, as a professional soldier; but, unlike his gr
andfather,
he did not live to retire to his estates. The earliest reco
rd of him
is on the page of national history, at the very end of hi
s career.
.
The Chronicle of Calais (Camden Society, No. 35, p. 6) reci
tes him in
October, 1508 as under marshall of that town, present at th
e treaty
for the marriage of Mary, daughter of Henry VII to the Duk
e of
Burgundy, afterwards the emperor Charles V; and in that cap
acity there
was assigned to him at the beginning of the next reign (Jul
y, 1509) a
Crown tenement in Fisherstrete in Calais and an annuity o
f 20 pounds.
Out of the revenues of the town. Two years later, in Novemb
er, 1511,
being then recited a 'squire of the body' of Henry VIII, li
e was
granted also the post of bailiff of the Scavage of Calais a
nd the isle
of Colne (L. & P. Henry VIII, i, 47, 94, 298).
.
His crowding hour came in August, 1513, when his young mast
er was
engaged in the invasion of France to assert an outworn clai
m of
inheritance of that realm, and it was Walter's fortune to b
e left for
the moment in responsible command of the garrison of Calais
. The
chronicler Hall records (Holinshed iii, 580) that as the Ki
ng lay
before Therouanne on the Flemish border, the captain of Bou
logue made
a night foray on Calais seeking booty and to insult the inv
ading
English. Arriving with a thousand men at the bridge which d
efended the
causey leading to the town, the Frenchman surprised the gua
rd and
captured the ordnance there mounted. Retaining 600 men at t
he bridge
'for a stale' he then dispatched the remaining 400 'into th
e marishes
and meadows to fetch away the beasts and cattle which the
y should find
there.' Some of these foragers approached so near the wall
s of Calais
as to raise the alarm, whereupon:
.
"about five of the clocke in the morning the gate of Calis
, called
Bullongue gate, was opened, and by permission of the deputi
e one
Culpeper, the under marshall, with two hundred archers unde
r a banner
of Saint George, issued forth,' and 'set so fiercelie on th
at finallie
the Frenchmen were discomfited and four and twentie of the
m slaine,
besides twelve score that were made prisoners and all the o
rdnance and
bootie again recouered. These prisoners were brought to Cal
ais and
there sold in open market."
.
Walter died before June 24, 1515 (when he was recited dea
d on the
appointment of Sir H. Banaster to his bailiffry, L. & P. He
nry VIII',
ii, 168), leaving a will which bristles with as many old wo
rld weapons
as a modern museum. The will was as follows:

Although Richard is entered in the Visitation in Kent, in 1
619,
as Walter Colepeper's eldest son, this was not the case, a
s Sir John,
as the eldest son, inherited Hardreshull, co. Warwick, Bayh
all, co.
Kent, and Wigsell, co. Sussex.
It appears also from the same Visitation that this Sir John
married Agnes, daughter of John Bedgebury, but no mention w
hatever is
there made of the undoubted fact that some time before 146
0 he was the
husband of Agnes Gainsford, which is clearly proved by th
e Proceedings
in Chancery relating to the abduction of the two Wakehurs
t heiresses
by Sir John's brothers, Richard and Nicholas, where it is e
xpressly
stated that a sister of John and William Gainsford was wedd
ed to John
Culpepyr, and later on in the same suit mention is made o
f John
Culpeper and Agnes, his wife. The marriage is also allude
d to in De
Banco Roll, Trin., 5 Edward IV., m. 118d, and it explains t
he mention
of Ottewell and George Gainsford (grandsons of the above Jo
hn
Gainsford, who married Anne Wakehurst, aunt of the co-heire
sses, and
sons of Sir John Gainsford, by Anne, daughter of Ottewell W
orsley), as
cousins in the will Walter Colepeper, of Calais, 1514--1516
.
The question arises, therefore, as to whether the record o
f Sir
John's marriage with Agnes Bedgebury is not due to a mistak
e on the
part of the heralds. In their pedigree they certainly omi
t these two
important facts, viz., that before 1460 Sir John was the hu
sband of
Agnes Gainsford, and also that his father Walter's wife, o
f the same
Christian name, was the widow of John Bedgebury. It seems t
herefore
not improbable that these two marriages have been confused
; such,
indeed, must have been the case unless Sir John was twice m
arried, and
of this the Visitation affords no evidence whatever. Sir Jo
hn
Colepeper died 22nd December, 1480, and was buried at Goudh
erst.

l the
estates except Exton on the death of his half-brother, Si
r John, and
was the only one to leave sons...
Walter Colepeper, who continued the line, married Agnes, th
e
daughter of Edmund Roper, of St. Dunstans, Canterbury, an
d is so
described on her tombstone at Goudhurst. She was also the w
idow of
John, son of John de Bedgebury, a fact not mentioned in th
e pedigrees
recorded in the Visitations, but which is amply evidenced b
y an
undated Chancery Procceding, temp. Hen. VI., where Walter C
oulpepir
and Agneis, his wife, late the wife of John, son of John d
e Beggebury
and Thomas Chaundeler, chaplain, appear as plaintiffs i
n a dispute
relating to property in Goudhurst, Cranbrook and Hawkhurst
, which
John, son of Roger de Beggebury, left to pay for two chapla
ins to sing
masses for his soul and for that of Johanna, his wife. By t
his
marriage Walter Colepeper had, with two daughters--Margaret
, married
to Alexander Clifford, and Elizabeth, married to John Harde
s, of
Hardes, co. Kent--three sons, Richard, John and Nicholas. A
gnes, his
wife, predeceased him on the 2nd December, 1457, and was bu
ried at
Goudhurst, and Walter himself died on the 24th November, 14
62, and was
also buried at Goudhurst.
Although the pedigree given above differs in many respect
s from
those recorded in the Visitation, it is substantiated not o
nly by many
Inquisitions, Deeds and Grants, but also by a suit entere
d on membrane
484 of the De Banco Roll, Hilary, 4 Edward IV., whence th
e following
pedigree is deduced:
..John Culpeper(5)
....Thomas Culpeper(6)
......Thomas Culpeper(7)
......Walter Culpeper(7)
........John Culpeper(8)
........Richard Culpeper(8)
........Nicholas Culpeper(8)
......John Culpeper(7)
......Nicholas Culpeper(7)
This suit has reference to the fine levied in 1320, the Joh
n at
the head of the pedigree being the son of Sir Thomas and Ma
rgery, and
the plaintiffs, John, Richard and Nicholas Colepeper, claim
ing one
quarter of these lands against Sir John Fogge, according t
o the
customs of gavelkind, in right of their father Walter.
Although Richard is entered in the Visitation in Kent, in 1
619, as
Walter Colepeper's eldest son, this was not the case, as Si
r John, as
the eldest son, inherited Hardreshull, co. Warwick, Bayhall
, co. Kent,
and Wigsell, co. Sussex. It appears also from the same Visi
tation that
this Sir John married Agnes, daughter of John Bedgebury, bu
t no
mention whatever is there made of the undoubted fact that s
ome time
before 1460 he was the husband of Agnes Gainsford, which i
s clearly
proved by the Proceedings in Chancery relating to the abduc
tion of the
two Wakehurst heiresses by Sir John's brothers, Richard an
d Nicholas,
where it is expressly stated that a sister of John and Will
iam
Gainsford was wedded to John Culpepyr, and later on in th
e same suit
mention is made of John Culpeper and Agnes, his wife. The m
arriage is
also alluded to in De Banco Roll, Trin., 5 Edward IV., m. 1
18d, and it
explains the mention of Ottewell and George Gainsford (gran
dsons of
the above John Gainsford, who married Anne Wakehurst, aun
t of the
co-heiresses, and sons of Sir John Gainsford, by Anne, daug
hter of
Ottewell Worsley), as cousins in the will Walter Colepeper

The question arises, therefore, as to whether the record o
f Sir
John's marriage with Agnes Bedgebury is not due to a mistak

770 probably in Orange County, Virginia. In 1770 George cam
e to Grease Creek in what is now Carroll County. While ther
e he received 400 acres of land from Abner Lester by: a Com
missioners Certificate. Part of the land was surveyed in 17
75. George returned to Orange County to get ready to move h
is wife and young daughter Nancy to Floyd County, Virginia
. In March of 1772 he started on his way to Floyd County an
d in Bedford County his second child Frederick was born. Th
is is according to the 1850 Floyd County Census, Frederic
k was born in Bedford County. George was the oldest son o
f Moses Quesenberry, who in the 1700's went with some of hi
s other sons to Kentucky. George followed the "Wilderness R
oad" from Bedford and through Botetourt Courthouse - Newber
n. Before arriving at Ft. Chiswell, Virginia he left the wi
lderness road and followed the Big Reed Island Creek and Gr
easy Creek upstream to where he had earlier received the 40
0 acres. George Quesenberry was the first settler in this a
rea of the Quesenberry's. All Quesenberry's of this area ap
parently descended from George. In 1779 George and Martha s

Wyatt also spelled WYAT, poet who introduced the Italian so
nnet and terza rima verse form and the French rondeau int
o English literature.
Wyatt was educated at St. John's, Cambridge, and became a m
ember of the court circle of Henry VIII, where he seems t
o have been popular and admired for his attractive appearan
ce and skill in music, languages, and arms. During his care
er, he served a number of diplomatic missions and was knigh
ted in 1537, but his fame rests on his poetic achievements
, particularly his songs. His poems are unusual for their t
ime in carrying a strong sense of individuality. They consi
st of Certayne Psalmes . . . drawen into Englyshe meter (15
49); three satires, and Songes and Sonettes, published in T
ottel's Miscellany (1557); and songs identified in manuscri
pt, published in 19th- and 20th-century editions.
(Research):NOTE* Son of Sir Henry Wyatt and Anne, daughte
r of John Skinner of Reigate, Surrey, was born about 1503 a
t his father's residence, Allington Castle, Kent. The 'inqu
isition post mortem' of his father, dated 1537, inaccuratel
y describes him as then aged 'twenty-eight years and upward
s'.
At twelve years of age Thomas was admitted of St. John's Co
llege, Cambridge. He graduated there B.A. in 1518, and M.A
. in 1520. There is a vague tradition that he also studie
d at Oxford. Playmate and friend of Anne Boleyn, had an ear
ly love affair with her. He married early in 1520 to Elizab
eth, daughter of Thomas Brooke, Lord Cobham. Marriage arran
ged by parents and was unhappy. Separated soon after birt
h of a son, Thomas, the younger. Presumed that Thomas stil
l retained affection for Anne Boleyn, and long after the da
te of his marriage Wyatt was regarded as her lover. Sevente
en years after his marriage, the then Lord Cobham, Elizabet
h’s brother wrote complaining that Thomas Wyatt still refus
ed to make any financial provision for his wife.
He soon sought official employment, and became Esquire of t
he Body to Henry VIII. In 1524 he was appointed clerk of th
e King's jewels, but the statement that he succeeded his fa
ther as treasurer to the King's chamber is an invention o
f J.P.Collier, who forged entries in official papers in sup
port of it (Trevelyan Papers, Camd. Soc.; SIMONDS, Sir Thom
as Wyatt and his Poems).
At Christmas 1525 he distinguished himself at a court tourn
ament. Next year he accompanied Sir Thomas Cheney on a dipl
omatic mission to France and to the Flemish Court.
In Jan 1526-7 he accompanied Sir John Russell, the ambassad
or, to the papal court. The story is told that Russell in h
is journey down the Thames encountered Wyatt, and, 'after s
alutations, was demanded of him whither he went, and had an
swer, "To Italy, sent by the King". "And I", said Wyatt, "w
ill, if you please, ask leave, get money, and go with you"
. "No man more welcome", answered the ambassador. So, thi
s accordingly done they passed in post together (Wyatt MSS.
). While abroad at this time, Wyatt visited Venice, Ferrera
, Bologna, Florence, and Rome. Russell broke his leg at Rom
e, and Wyatt undertook to negotiate on his behalf with th
e Venetian republic. On his return journey towards Rome h
e was taken captive by the imperial forces under the consta
ble Bourbon, and a ransom of three thousand ducats was dema
nded. Wyatt, however, escaped to Bologna.
On settling again in England Wyatt rejoined the court, bu
t in 1529 and 1530 he chiefly spent his time at Calais, whe
re he accepted the post of high-marshall. His relations wit
h Anne Boleyn continued close until her favours were sough
t by Henry VIII. Sir Thomas wrote her a sonnet complainin
g of the broken affair. Then it is said that he frankly con
fessed to Henry the character of his intimacy with her, an
d warned him against marrying a woman of blemished characte
r. In 1533 he was sworn of the privy council, and at Anne'
s coronation on White

REGENT OF ENGLAND IN THE MINORITY OF HENRY III
SON-IN-LAW OF RICHARD "STRONGBOW" DE CLARE
King Henry II appointed William head of his military househ
old, responsible for the protection and military training o
f the King's sons and heirs. From 1170-1183, William won fa
me and glory as a tournament champion, fighting in over 50
0 duels and losing none. A landless knight, William's succe
ss was forged through the strength of his character. He bec
ame a Knights Templar and went on Crusade for two years i
n the Holy Land. He served King Henry II faithfully as a co
unselor and ambassador. When Richard the Lionheart ascende
d the throne, he recognized William as a brother in chivalr
y. William became his knight, justiciar, ambassador and fri
end. King John, however, treated Marshall horribly, accusin
g him of treason, seizing his lands and castles and even ho
lding his sons as hostage, yet through it all, the honorabl
e knight remained loyal to his king. Loyalty was, after all
, the most important bond of the code of chivalry and Marsh
all was the epitome of the virtuous knight. When King Joh
n died, Marshall was selected by his peers to be the Regen
t for young King Henry III. He ruled wisely, defeating Phil
ip II in a war with France and restoring order to the kingd
om. A pious man, he founded Kells Priory and Duiske Abbey i
n Ireland. He is buried in the Temple Church in London, fou
nded by the Knights Templar in 1186.
Richard I The Lionheart made the Knights Templar his elit
e fighting force in the 3rd Crusade.
King Richard married Isabel, the daughter and heiress of St
rongbow, to William, thereby greatly increasing his wealt
h and power.

William also appears in Shakespeare's play KING JOHN. In Ac
t IV, Sc. ii, he and William Longespee Earl of Salisbury le
arn of the death of the young Prince Arthur of Brittany
, a contender for the throne. The two Earls suspect the la
d has been murdered by King John:
KING JOHN
We cannot hold mortality's strong hand:
Good lords, although my will to give is living,
The suit which you demand is gone and dead:
He tells us Arthur is deceased to-night.
SALISBURY
Indeed we fear'd his sickness was past cure.
PEMBROKE
Indeed we heard how near his death he was
Before the child himself felt he was sick:
This must be answer'd either here or hence.
KING JOHN
Why do you bend such solemn brows on me?
Think you I bear the shears of destiny?
Have I commandment on the pulse of life?
SALISBURY
It is apparent foul play; and 'tis shame
That greatness should so grossly offer it:
So thrive it in your game! and so, farewell.
PEMBROKE
Stay yet, Lord Salisbury; I'll go with thee,
And find the inheritance of this poor child,
His little kingdom of a forced grave.
That blood which owed the breadth of all this isle,
Three foot of it doth hold: bad world the while!
This must not be thus borne: this will break out
To all our sorrows, and ere long I doubt.

Many modern family names can be spotted drifting in and ou
t of the spotlight of British history across time if one lo
oks closely enough. One such family name, through a combina
tion of intrigue and diplomacy, rose to become the wealthie
st family in thirteenth century England, and later member
s of the dynasty were to influence the country's future b
y marrying into the Plantagenet royal family.
The family in question is that of the de Clares, now rememb
ered through the surname Clare and it's derivatives. Origin
ally a Norman family, they took their name from Clare in Su
ffolk where their first castle, and the seat of their baron
y, was situated. By the thirteenth century, the family hel
d vast estates in Wales, Ireland, and twenty two English co
unties - so there was little chance of the surname becomin
g isolated to just one area.
The first recorded member of the de Clare dynasty was Godfr
ey, Count of Eu. Godfrey was an illegitimate son of Richar
d of Normandy, and his son Gilbert was assassinated in 104
0 - although as you will see, Gilbert was to become a confu
singly common name for sons of the de Clare dynasty. It ha
s been suggested that the de Clares were distant relative
s of William I of England, as William himself was the illeg
itimate son of another Duke of Normandy.
Distantly related to William or not, Gilbert's sons accompa
nied William in his invasion of England in the late elevent
h century. They were suitably rewarded for their suppor
t - Baldwin de Clare became Sheriff of Devonshire, and hi
s brother Richard de Clare was given control of 170 estate
s in Suffolk (95 of which were attached to Clare Castle. Al
though Baldwin did not marry, Richard's marriage to Rohai
s Giffard produced three sons (Richard, Roger and Gilbert
) and two daughters (Rohais and one unknown). Richard and R
ohais de Clare also set about building a priory at St Neot
s (now in Cambridgeshire), which was finished around 1100
; Richard never saw the dedication service however, as he d
ied around 1090.
Richard and Rohais' children managed to involve themselve
s in a great deal of the intrigue referred to in the introd
uction - Roger and Gilbert were present at the murder of Wi
lliam II in 1100, and the unknown daughter was married to W
alter Tyrol, who was William's murderer. Gilbert had also b
een involved in rebellion in 1088 and 1095, so it would see
m that the de Clare family were keen to establish a leadin
g role in British politics from an early stage. The third o
f Richard's sons, named Richard after his father, seemed mo
re content with his lot, as he is not believed to have bee
n involved in any such high level intrigue as his siblings
; saying this however, his son Gilbert kept up family tradi
tion through being one of the twenty five barons involved i
n the administration of the Magna Carta in 1215. The younge
r Richard also married Amicia, daughter of the Earl of Glou
cester, inheriting the title and passing it down through a
n unknown son after his death in 1217.
Five sons and one daughter were born to the Gilbert de Clar
e present at William IIs death; his son Gilbert became th
e powerful Earl of Pembroke, holding and expanding lands i
n Wales and Ireland; Pembroke's son Richard earned the batt
le name "Strongbow", presumably for carrying on his familie
s traditional prowess in battle. One of the other five chil
dren of the Gilbert present at William IIs death was Richar
d de Clare, who died giving battle to the Welsh in 1136 - b
ut his son Gilbert strengthened the family's hold on the Ma
rcher lands of the Welsh border by becoming Earl of Herefor
d.
Pembroke's son Richard first earned his reputation as a war
rior by taking a force of warriors to Ireland, where he sto
rmed the Norse-Irish city of Dublin; his progress in conque
st was so successful that Henry I feared that Richard had g
rown too powerful and orde

"By the sword and the cross," Charlemagne (Charles the Grea
t) became master of Western Europe. It was falling into dec
ay when Charlemagne became joint king of the Franks in 768
. Except in the monasteries, people had all but forgotten e
ducation and the arts. Boldly Charlemagne conquered barbari
ans and kings alike. By restoring the roots of learning an
d order, he preserved many political rights and revived cul
ture.
Charlemagne's grandfather was Charles Martel, the warrior w
ho crushed the Saracens (see Charles Martel). Charlemagne w
as the elder son of Bertrade ("Bertha Greatfoot") and Pepi
n the Short, first "mayor of the palace" to become king o
f the Franks. Although schools had almost disappeared in th
e 8th century, historians believe that Bertrade gave youn
g Charles some education and that he learned to read. His d
evotion to the church became the great driving force of hi
s remarkable life.
Charlemagne was tall, powerful, and tireless. His secretary
, Eginhard, wrote that Charlemagne had fair hair and a "fac
e laughing and merry . . . his appearance was always statel
y and dignified." He had a ready wit, but could be stern. H
is tastes were simple and moderate. He delighted in hunting
, riding, and swimming. He wore the Frankish dress: linen s
hirt and breeches, a silk-fringed tunic, hose wrapped wit
h bands, and, in winter, a tight coat of otter or marten sk
ins. Over all these garments "he flung a blue cloak, and h
e always had a sword girt about him."
Charlemagne's character was contradictory. In an age when t
he usual penalty for defeat was death, Charlemagne severa
l times spared the lives of his defeated foes; yet in 782 a
t Verden, after a Saxon uprising, he ordered 4,500 Saxons b
eheaded. He compelled the clergy and nobles to reform, bu
t he divorced two of his four wives without any cause. He f
orced kings and princes to kneel at his feet, yet his mothe
r and his two favorite wives often overruled him in his ow
n household.
Charlemagne Begins His Reign
In 768, when Charlemagne was 26, he and his brother Carloma
n inherited the kingdom of the Franks. In 771 Carloman died
, and Charlemagne became sole ruler of the kingdom. At tha
t time the northern half of Europe was still pagan and lawl
ess. In the south, the Roman Catholic church was striving t
o assert its power against the Lombard kingdom in Italy. I
n Charlemagne's own realm, the Franks were falling back int
o barbarian ways, neglecting their education and religion.
Charlemagne was determined to strengthen his realm and to b

Pepin (Pippin) II., the Short, King of France from 752 to 7
68, born in 714, died in 768. He had much to do; the
Saxons, Bavarians, and Arabs were all menacing or revolting
, and he had to rush from one part of the kingdom to the
other, defending its frontiers, and getting no help from th
e "stupid sluggard king," at Paris. At last, impatient of t

farce, he sent this question to the Pope: "Who is king, h
e who governs or he who wears the crown?" "He who governs
, of
course," answered the Pope. "That is myself," said the litt
le man with a great will; "so the sluggards shall go to sle
ep
forever," and he sent the last of them, Childeric III., th

raising their shields as high as they could, they marched t

the answer he had given to his question, and when, shortl
y after, the Pope sent to complain of the trouble occasioned
by the Lombards, Pepin crossed the Alps, punished the Lomba

gave it to the Pope "to belong to him and to the bishops o

sovereignty. The States of the Church, as they were called

deric I and founder of the Merovingian monarchy. Originall
y little more than a tribal chieftain, he became sole leade
r of the Salian Franks by force of perseverance and by murd
ering a number of relatives. In 486 he defeated the Roman l
egions under Syagrius at Soissons, virtually ending Roman d
omination over Gaul. He then subdued the Thuringians. Afte
r his marriage (493) to the Burgundian princess Clotild
a , a Catholic, he had his children baptized but was not im
mediately converted himself. He is said to have invoked th
e Christian God while locked in battle with the Alemanni i
n the late 490s. He defeated them and two years later conve
rted, having been persuaded by Clotilda and St. Remi (als
o known as Remigius), bishop of Reims, who baptized him, re
putedly along with 3,000 supporters. Thereafter Clovis wa
s the champion of orthodox Christianity against the Arian h
eretics, the Burgundians, and the Visigoths. He attacked th
e Burgundians (500) at Dijon and the Visigoths (507) unde
r Alaric II at Vouillé. When he died, he was master of mos
t of Gaul—except Burgundy, Gascony, Provence, and Septimani
a—and of SW Germany. Shortly before his death he probably h
ad the Salian Law revised and put into writing. Clovis unit
ed all Franks under his rule, gained the support of the Gal
lic clergy, made Paris his base of operations, and extende
d his conquests into Germany. He thus laid the foundation
, which even 400 years of chaos and misrule could not destr

t least by having all rival kings assassinated. And both Ro

oyed the Burgundian kingdom and who, by offering military a
id to the Ostrogoths in exchange, annexed Provence to thei

DESCENDANT OF CHARLEMAGNE
KING OF FRANCE, 987-996
FOUNDER OF THE CAPETIAN DYNASTY
LAY ABBOT OF THE ABBEYS OF ST. MARTIN OF TOURS AND ST. DENIS
With ambitions to become a lay abbot, Hugh inherited his fa
ther’s vast estates, making him the most powerful noble o
f his day. He was elected king in 987 after the death of th
e weak Carolingian monarch Lothair. Thus began the Capetia
n dynasty. His kingdom was certainly not unified. France wa
s divided into many different fiefdoms with at least a doze
n languages. Trying to unite the whole was a formidable tas
k and Hugh’s military power was limited. He had to seek mil
itary aid from the Duke of Normandy. Hugh's surname “Capet
” may derive from his abbot's cape.
THE CAPETIAN DYNASTY
The Capetians were the descendants of Hugh Capet and follow
ed the Carolingian monarchs. They ruled France from 987-123
8, at which time the direct male heirs ran out. France adhe
red to Salic Law, the ancient code of the Salian Franks, wh
ich prevented females from succeeding to the throne. Phili
p VI, nephew of Philip the Fair, was elected in 1328, thu
s beginning the Valois branch of the Capets.

After the death of his brothers Pepin and Charles in 810 an
d 811 respectively, Louis was crowned at Aachen on 13 Septe
mber 813, Emperor and heir to all of Charlemagne's lands, b
y Charlemagne himself without any assistance nor even the p
resence of the Pope. All sources, Frankish as well as papal
, refer to Louis as emperor from then on. Charlemagne die
d 5 months later. All of Louis' sisters were required to qu
it the palace and retire to their own estates. His cousins
, the offsprings of Bernard (Pepin III's half brother) wer
e exhiled: Louis forced Count Wala to become a monk at Corb
ie; Adalhard was exhiled to Noirmoutier to be held there i
n custody by the Abbot; Bernhard returned to Lerin and Gund
rada had to retreat to St. Radegund's convent of Sainte Cro
ix in Poitiers. Only Theodrada was left unmolested as abbes
s of Notre Dame at Soissons. Louis I was also known as Loui
s, "Le Pieux". On 27 February 814, upon learning of the dea
th of his father, and at the age of 36 years, he left Doue-
la-Fontaine, in Anjou, to go to Aix-la-Chapelle.
Note:
This new emperor, enterred this capital, and poised himsel
f in front of the tomb of Charlemagne. So oversome with gri
ef, his forehead touched the stone floor of the church. Hen
ce the name "Le Pieux". Since he was kind, relative to hi
s times, he
was also known as "Le Debonnaire". For himself, he preferre
d to adopt the title "by divine Providence, Emperor Augustu
s". When Pope Leo died in May of 816, Stephen IV was electe
d Pope, and crowned Louis the Emperor on Sunday 5 October b
y placing a crown on his head during mass at Rheims. He als
o secured the release of some Roman exhiles in Francia. Thi
s crowning was among the first attempts to integrate the Pa
pacy into the institutional framework of the Empire. Louis
, 'lest he be led astray in satisfying the natural desire
s of the body' married Ermengarde, daughter of Count Ingram
n. Charlemagne established Doue-la-Fontaine, Chasseneuil (L
ouis' birthplace), Angeac and Ebreuil as royal residences t
o maintain Louis and his household. At an assembly in Aache
n in July 817, Louis made provisions for his sons' inherita
nce through the "Ordinatio Imperii". In his preface he stat
es that the unity of the empire preserved for Louis by Go
d should not be destroyed by men. Lothar was given the titl
e of emperor, and as co-ruler with his father at once mad
e heir to the empire, and appointed King of Italy in the ev
ent of his father's death. Bernard, then King of Italy wa
s not mentioned, but the implication is that Bernard woul
d be subordinate to Lothar should Louis die. Pepin was mad
e King of Aquitaine (plus Gascony, Toulouse, Carcassonne, A
utun, Avallon and Nevers) and Louis, The German, was made K
ing of Bavaria (plus Carinthia, Bohemia, the lands of the A
vars and Slavs and the royal manors of Lauterhofen and Ingo
lstadt). Pepin and Louis were to meet on an annual basis wi
th Lothar to consult and together find "measures to take i
n the interest of perpetual peace". They could neither star
t a war nor marry without the approval of their elder broth
er. Lothar even had the right to de-throne them after thre
e warnings. That same year, 817, Stephen IV obtains his pol
itical independence, thus severing the tie between Rome an
d the Frank
Empire as conceived by Charlemagne. The arrangement was nea
t and all contingencies covered except for the one which to
ok place. After his first wife's (Ermengarde) death, Louis
, in 819, married the beautiful Bavarian Judith, daughter o
f Comte Welf of Bavaria. On 13 June 823 she gave birth t
o a son. He was called Charles. In September, 824, forgetti
ng his nickname "Le Debonnaire", Louis totally ravages th
e Bretagne which was rebelling. In 829, at the General Asse

, Ethelred I., reigning from 871 to 900. Alfred began as se
cond-in-command to his eldest brother, King Ethelred I. The
re were no jealousies between them, but a marked differenc
e of temperament. Ethelred inclined toward a religious view
point that faith and prayer were the prime agencies by whic
h the heathen would be overcome. Alfred, though also devout
, laid the emphasis upon policy and arms. He was born in 84
9 and died in 900. At twenty-four he became King. He marrie
d Lady Alswitha (Ealhswith), daughter of Ethelan, the Ear
l of Mercia, lineally descended from Crioda, 1st Earl of Me
rcia, who died in 594. She died in 904. Alfred was regarde
d as one of the noblest monarchs in British history. No nam
e in English history is so justly popular as his. That he t
aught his people to defend themselves and defeat their enem
ies, is the least of the many claims to our grateful admira
tion; he did much more than this; he launched his people up
on a great advance in civilization, and showed a horde of u
ntaught countrymen that there were other and worthier pursu
its than war or the pleasure of the table. "He was indeed o
ne of those highly gifted men that would seem to be especia
lly raised up by Providence to protect and advance his peop
le." (Wurts, Vol I, p. 171). Alfred was born at Wantage, i
n Berkshire, in the year 849, ascended the throne in 871 a
t the age of 23, and reigned for thirty years. Young Alfred
, according to the historian Asser, Bishop of Sherborne, wa
s a comely person and of a sweeter disposition than his old
er brothers and consequently became the favorite of both hi
s parents and was sent by them to Rome, while still a chil
d in order that he might be anointed king by the Pope. Bu
t though Ethelwulf showed this especial instance of regar
d for his son, he altogether neglected his education, and t
he young prince in his twelfth year had not learned to rea
d or write. But if he could not read for himself, he nevert
heless loved to listen to the rude but inspiring strains o
f Saxon poetry when recited by others, and had he not bee
n a king and statesman, he might easily have been a poet. I
n 871, Alfred succeeded as king, at a period when the whol
e country was suffering under the ravages of the Danes, an
d the general misery was yet further increased by a ragin
g pestilence, along with the general dissentions of the peo
ple. Alfred now for the first time took the field against t
hese ruthless invaders with such skill and courage, that h
e was able to maintain the struggles till a truce was concl
uded between the combatants. Neither was this the worst o
f the evils that beset the Saxon prince. Any compact he mig
ht make with one party, had no influence whatever upon othe
rs of their countrymen, who had different leaders and diffe
rent interests. No sooner had he made terms with one hord
e of pirates than England was invaded by a new force of the
m under Rollo; and when he had compelled these to abandon W
essex, he was attacked by fresh bands of Danes settled in o
ther parts of England. So long, however, as they ventured t
o meet him on the open field, his skill secured him the vic
tory; till, taught by repeated defeats, they had recourse t
o other tactics. That is, suddenly to land and ravage a apa
rt of the country, and when a force opposed them, they reti
red to their ships, and passed to some other part, which i
n a like manner they ravaged, and then retired as before, u
ntil the country, completely harassed, pillaged and waste
d by their incursions, was no longer able to resist them. T
hen they ventured safely to enter and to establish themselv
es. Therefore, Alfred, finding a navy necessary, built Engl
and's first fleet. After much fighting over the years he a
t last routed the Danes at Ethendune (Edington) in 878 wit
h so much slaughter that they were glad to obtain peace o

He was the king of Wessex, 802-827, and was the king of all
England, 827-836. The male line of kings descends fromhim to
Edward the confessor and the female line to the present tim
e. He
had a half-sister St. Alburga who married Wulfstan, who was
perhaps Ealdorman of Wiltshire.In 829 Egbert succeeded Wigl
af as
king of Mercia, although he was expelled the following year
. His
bones are now in one of the mortuary chest in Winchester
Cathedral.
(Research):d. 839, king of Wessex (802-39). His name also a
ppears as Ecgberht. He was descended from Cerdic and was ap
parently an unsuccessful aspirant for the crown of Wessex a
gainst Beohtric (reigned 786-802). He took refuge at the co
urt of Offa of Mercia, but the alliance of Offa and Beohtri
c drove him to the Frankish court, where he may have spen
t three years. At Beohtric's death he became king of Wessex
, apparently without opposition. In 815 he harried Cornwall
, returning to defeat the Britons there again in 825. He al
so defeated King Beornwulf of Mercia at Ellandune (or Ellen
dun) in 825. He sent his son Æthelwulf and an army to Kent
, which was then made a dependency of Wessex. East Anglia s
ought Egbert's protection and revolted against Mercia. Beor
nwulf was killed in battle, and Mercia submitted (828?) t
o Egbert. He then (829?) secured the nominal submission o
f Northumbria without a battle. Later historians called hi
m the first king of England, an anachronistic title, for th
ere was no conception of a kingdom of England in his day. T
he extent of his power varied from kingdom to kingdom and f
rom year to year. After 834 he had to defend his realm agai
nst the Danes, and in his last battle (838) he again defeat
ed the Britons of Cornwall, who had allied themselves wit
h the Danes. Egbert was succeeded by his son, Æthelwulf.

Egbert , is regarded as the first King of England. He reign
ed from 802 to 829 (839?). He was born about 775 and fled f
rom his cousin Brethrick, taking refuse in the court of Cha
rlemagne, where he stayed for about twelve years, serving a
s one of his captains. On the death of Brethrick, who was p
oisoned by his wife, Egbert returned to England. In 802 a
t Winchester he was crowned King of the West Saxons. He sub
dued West Wales, or Cornwall, defeated the King of Mercia a
t Ellandune, annexed Kent and in 829 he became overlord o
f all the English kings and gave the name of England to th
e whole realm. There are still in existence some coins stru
ck by Egbert, though these are now extremely rare. In 835 E
gbert defeated a formidable army of Danes at Hingston Dow

Willis Staton was an attorney in Pikesville, Ky., born 187
5 to Joseph and Matilda Staton. Joseph was son of Richard S
taton who is listed on the 1900 census in Pike County, so W
illis would have been at least 25 when his grandfather die
d and should have "known" some of the family history. The f
ollowing is an excerpt from a letter to Clyde Runyon to Ste
rling H. West in 1971; "In the 20s my grandmother answere
d a query in a magazine by a Willis Staton of Pikesville, K
y., who was trying to locate the descendents of Perry Solom
on Staton. He told her his grandfather and Perry Solomon St
aton were brothers. His father being Joseph Staton, son o
f Richard Staton and Melinda Bevins. Charles and Nancy wer
e married in 1820, so it appears that Charles must have bee
n married to some one else according to the age of childre
n in his family in 1830."

~1621 - 1672 John Stockley 51 51 !TIDEWATER TO TEXAS BY Rosemary Corley Neal
3. JOHN1 Stockley was born about 1622 according to an affad
avit made at Acconiack Co. Court on 19 Jan 1671 [1672] in w
hich he gave his age as 50 years or thereabouts.25 He had c
ome to the Eastern Shore at the “Cost & Charges” of his bro
ther Francis in exchange for three years of service and fir
st lived in what is now Northampton Co. where on 5 June 164
0 he testified regarding Jane Paramore, wife of John Paramo
re, who had accused John Deereman of being a “Ruffian. ..an
d Robber.”26 By 29 Aug 1642, he was a “Taylor” and ordere
d to pay William
STOCKLEY 455
Stevens, Boatewright, fifly pounds of tobacco for “the spoy
leing a Frize shute of Cloathes...” and Stevens was ordere
d to pay John for matking the suit.27 He served as a juro
r during this period and was fined in 1643 for profanity, a
s was his brother Francis.
By 1655 John’s status had changed materially. He had very l
ikely returned to EngIand at least once during the years a
s he and Francis were given as headrights in 1651 by Jona
s Jackson. He had by some means, perhaps inheritance from e
ither his family or that of his wife Elizabeth, acquired su
fficient capital to purchase 400 acres at the seaside in No
rthampton from Capt. William Whittington for 4000 pounds o
f good tobacco and cask on 30 July 1655. He also owned 20
0 acres granted 30 Oct 1669 which he sold to Thomas Eastme
d on 29 Aug 1670, both of these tracts being in present Nor
thampton Co. His wife Elizabeth joined in this deed.28
The deed from Whittington was “lost or mislaid” when a comp
licated series of conveyances was recorded in Northampton o
n 17 Jan 1670 reciting that John had sold to Col. William K
endall this 400 acres for 6750 pounds of tobacco and 500 ac
res “to be laid out and conveyed to me...adjoining to the s
d land belonging to me John Stockly...” William Whittington
, son of William deceased, “out of dutiful care of my fathe
r’s honor and reputation...” confirmed the sale to Stokely.
29
John and Elizabeth moved up the Shore into the north end o
f Accomack Co. where as “Mr. Jno. Stokeley” he patented 260
0 acres in Accomack on 2 Sept 1664 lying on the seaboard si
de bounded on the north by Corrattawaman Creek adjoining hi
s own land and Col. Edmond Scarburgh. The list of the 52 pe
rsons he had transported included Eliz. Stockeley, Jno. Stu
ckley, Eliz. Stuckley and Jno. Stockeley. Thus John and Eli
zabeth had either crossed twice or the additional names cou
ld have been those of two of their children.30 The only por
tion of his “grand patent” sold by John Stockley before hi
s death was a 200 acre tract to Xphr. Stanley, described a
s being on Poplar Neck and a branch of Assawamun Creek. Thi
s deed was dated 8 Apr 1671 and Elizabeth, wife to John, re
linquished her dower rights on the same day.31
John Stockley had also acquired 500 acres from Col. Wm. Ken
dall by deed dated 12 Nov 1672, described as in or near Ass
awoman, so had a large holding in Accomack before he died.3
2
On 28 Nov 1673, shortly after John’s death, Elizabeth Stoke
ly “of the upper part of the County of Northampton als Acco
mack, relict of John Stokely Senr late of the same place,
” and William Stokeley, “eldest son and heir of his late fa
ther,” came into Northampton Co. Court to confirm the dee
d of John Stokeley, dec’d, of 200 acres in Northampton sol
d to Eustace Parsons, dec’d on behalf of Emanuel Hall “the
456 TIDEWATER TO TEXAS
son of Emanuel Hall and now wife of Eustace Parsons.”33 Al
l of John’s Northampton land was now sold and his family wa
s thereafter principally found in Accomack Co.,.
John Stokely, planter, “well of body. ..but mindful that ma
n is frayle & his dayes passe away like a Shadowe,” made hi
s will on 3 Feb 1670 [1671], added a codicil on 18 Apr 167
3 and it was prokited in Accomack Co. on 18 Aug 1673. He le

~1634 - 1708 Stephen Warrington 74 74 From: Charles E. Warrington Sep 1996
STEPHEN WARRINGTON 1634 - 1707
Stephen Warrington, the progenitor of the Warrington famili
es in America is believed to have been the son of James War
rington and Margaret Price of Worcester, England. It is fur
ther believed that he was born circa 1634 in St. Michael, W
orcester, England. Stephen died in Accomack County, Va., be
tween Dec. 23, 1707, and Feb. 1, 1708. These dates represen
t thedate of Stephen's Will and the date the will was enter
ed into probate respectively.
It is believed that Stephen spent his early years in Charle
s City County, Va., on his father's plantation. He may or m
ay not have moved on to Charles County, Md., with his fathe
r, before he migrated to Accomack County, Va.
Stephen's father, James Warrington, was born circa 1608 i
n St. Michaels, Worcester, England. When he arrived in th
e Virginia Colony he settled in Charles City County, Va., b
ut he probably died
intestate, circa 1658, in Charles County, Md.
Stephen's mother, Margaret Price, was born circa 1612 in St
. Michaels, Worcester, England. It is speculated, by the wr
iter, that Margaret (Price) Warrington died in the area o
f Charles City, Virginia prior to 1658. Church records, i
n England's St. Michael Parish, indicate that James Warring
ton and Margaret Price were married May 2, 1633, in St. Mic
hael Parish, Worcester, England.
Stephen Warrington probably immigrated to the Colonies wit
h his parents circa 1637/8, however, no ship record has bee
n found to substantiate this supposition. This is not stran
ge, because, boys under 14 years were not listed in ship re
cords of the time.
The children of Stephen Warrington and his first wife Mar
y are believed to have been Walter, Alexander and Mary Warr
ington.
The children of Stephen Warrington and Elizabeth Jenkins, h
is second wife, are believed to have been Elizabeth, John
, Rachel, William and Thomas Warrington.
Stephen and Susanna Collony, his third wife, are believed t
o have had a son, Stephen, and a daughter, Susanna Warringt
on.

The Bramptons once owned a small manor in the western par

ame was ingrafted onto the manor. When James Brampton died
, the manor passed into the Petley family, his daughter Ali

Brian Boru
Born in 940 AD, Brian Boru was one of Ireland's greatest le
aders who is credited with directing Ireland's future - fo
r both good and bad.
Brian Boru (Brian mac Cennetig or Brian Boroimhe in Gaelic
) was born in Munster, Ireland. A member of the Dal Cais (D
elcassians) tribe, he was the brother of Mahon, who becam
e King of Munster following the death of their father, Cenn
-tig.
At this point in Ireland's history, Viking invaders (or Nor
semen) had a stranglehold on the island, while the native I
rish either sided with the Norse out of fear or belonged t
o small kingdoms that fought among themselves.
Mahon desired peace with the Vikings and attempted to attai
n it, but his younger brother Brian shared no such desire
. In fact, after having witnessed the death of his mother a
nd much of the Dal Cais tribe in a Norse raid while he wa
s a child, Brian was a proponent of warfare with Vikings.
When he was old enough, Boru broke away from his brother t
o wage guerrilla warfare on the Norse. A skilled tactician
, he won many decisive victories that instilled fear in th
e enemy as well as their Irish allies.
His attacks also helped to fuel rumours that there was a la
rge, secret Dalcassian army. Boru's campaign gained much po
pular support and many Irishmen joined his cause, includin
g his Brother Mahon, who renounced his truce with the Vikin
gs. The combined forces were able to drive most of the Nors
e from Southern Ireland, including their leader Ivar (als
o known as Imar).
Eager for revenge, Ivar returned ten years later, capturin
g and killing Mahon. Brian succeeded his brother to the thr
one of Munster, bringing with him a re-fueled hatred of th
e enemy Norsemen. Soon after, his forces met with those o
f Ivar and Brian challenged him to personal combat. Ivar wa
s killed and the Viking influence in Southern Ireland was s
truck another blow.
Boru's influence continued to grow throughout Southern Irel
and and he became known for rebuilding many of the churche
s and other monuments that had been destroyed by the Norse.
In North Ireland, Malachy the Second followed Boru's lead w
hen his forces defeated a Norse army to take Dublin in 98
0 and Malachy became King of Meath. The two kings met in 99
8 and agreed to divide Ireland between them, with Boru reci
eving the South and Malachy the North. Boru, however, had t
oo much support - even in Northern Ireland - and Malachy ev
entually ended up allowing Boru to peacefully take over hi
s lands.
Boru was granted the title "Ard Ri", meaning "High King". T
his made him one of the first - and last - kings to effecti
vely unite Ireland under one monarch.
The rivals to Brian Boru's rule were numerous, however, bot
h among the native Irish and the remaining Norse. In 1013
, Maelmordha, King of Leinster, revolted and allied with th
e Vikings. They summoned reinforcements from Boru's other I
rish rivals and the Viking nation

The name of Shakespeare is an old one in Warwickshire, dati
ng back as far as 1248, when "William Sakspere" was execute
d for thieving.
John Shakespeare moved to Stratford in 1252 and set up busi
ness as a glover and dealer in leather goods. He became a p
rominent and respected citizen there, serving as alderman
, chamberlain, bailiff (or mayor), and Justice of the Peace
. In later years, he was hit by economic hard times. Noneth
eless, in 1596, Queen Elizabeth I granted a coat of arms t
o the Shakespeares, recognizing John as a gentleman; no dou
bt due, in part, to the success of his eldest son William.
1564 - 1616 William Shakespeare 52 52 Shakespeare apparently received an education from the Strat
ford Grammar School, which probably provided him a substant
ial classical background in Latin and Greek, but by 17, h
e was working as an apprentice to his father. In 1582, at t
he age of 18, Shakespeare hastily married 26-year-old Ann
e Hathaway. Six months later, they had a daughter Susanna
. Twins Hamnet and Judith were born in 1585. Presumably, th
e family fell on economic hard times and young William wa
s caught poaching on the lands of a prominent squire Sir Th
omas Lucy. At 23, he moved to London, leaving his family i
n Stratford. Little is known of these "dark years," from 15
85-1593, with various stories claiming he worked as a schoo
lmaster, lawyer, or soldier. In the PBS documentary “In Sea
rch of Shakespeare” historian Michael Wood theorizes that S
hakespeare joined the Queen’s Men in 1687. In any case, i
t was in London that Shakespeare embarked upon his life's w
ork as an actor and writer. In 1593, he found a sponsor, He
nry Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton, and produced the lon
g poems, VENUS AND ADONIS and THE RAPE OF LUCRECE. In 1594
, Shakespeare became active in a very popular company of pl
ayers called The Lord Chamberlain's Men, and soon he was pe
nning some of his greatest works including RICHARD II, RICH
ARD III, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, AND ROMEO AND JULIET. T
ragedy struck with the death of his little boy Hamnet in 15
96, life lessons that most certainly played out in his writ
ing of the great tragedies of HAMLET, OTHELLO, KING LEAR, a
nd MACBETH. A shrewd businessman, Shakespeare became join
t proprietor of The Globe Theatre and had an interest in Bl
ackfriars Theatre. By 1597, he had become fairly wealthy an
d was able to buy a large home for his family in Stratfor
d called New Place. In 1603, King James I made the Lord Cha
mberlain's Men a part of the royal household, and re-dubbe
d them The King's Men. In 1609, the sonnets were published
. Shakespeare retired sometime after 1612, died on his birt
hday in 1616, bequeathing to his wife Anne the curious "sec
ond best bed." He was buried in Holy Trinity Church, to whi
ch he had become a major benefactor. His epitaph reads,
Good friends, for Jesus' sake forbear,
To dig the bones enclosed here!
Blest be the man that spares these stones,
And curst be he that moves my bones.
"He was not of an age, but for all time." --Ben Jonson.
WHO WAS THE REAL WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE?
There are some who claim William Shakespeare was actually E
dward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford. The Earl died in 16
04, years before some of Shakespeare's greatest work was pe
rformed (King Lear, Macbeth, Antony and Cleopatra, The Temp
est, The Winter's Tale). They believe that the Earl wrote t
hese works before his death and gave them to others to rele
ase periodically, adding appropriate contemporary events t
o bring them up to date. Others believe Sir Francis Bacon a
uthored Shakespeare's plays and still others say it was th
e brilliant Christopher Marlowe. Most modern scholars agree
, however, that Shakespeare was his own man and wrote his o
wn work.
THE LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S MEN
Henry Carey, the Lord Chamberlain and 1st Lord Hunsdon, wa
s a son of Anne Boleyn's sister Mary and a cousin of Quee
n Elizabeth. As an officer on the Privy Council, he was res
ponsible for the Queen's indoor entertainments. He forme
d a company of actors called "The Lord Chamberlain's Men" w
hose players included William Shakespeare, Richard Burbag
e (the leading actor), Kempe (the clown), John Heminge (th
e business manager), and Henry Condell. Carey died in 159
6 and was succeeded as patron of the company by his son Geo
rge. In 1603, "The Lord Chamberlain's Men" became "The King
's Men" under a royal patent from James I. The company cont
inued until the theatres were closed in 1642. Heminge and C
ondell prepared the First Folio of Shakespeare's works in 1
623.

Leofric made his fortune in the mutton trade. As a governme

Ranulph was a military leader who initially supported Steph

, so motivated by his own personal interests, that, in th

y William Peverell Lord of Nottingham.
THE CIVIL WARS OF MATILDA (MAUD) AND STEPHEN:
Stephen seems to have been a likeable fellow, mild-mannered
, brave and chivalrous, though he could also be obstinate a
nd rash. On Henry I's death, with baronial support, he seiz
ed the throne, but he made many enemies of the Church and a
lienated most of the nobles, many of whom threw their suppo
rt to Henry I's daughter Matilda, resulting in Civil War. T
here is an interesting story told about the conflict. In 11
39, Matilda landed with a force at Arundel. Stephen besiege
d her at the castle and could have destroyed her there, bu
t Matilda's stepmother Adeliza appealed to his chivalric in
stincts and bargained for an end to the siege. Amazingly, S
tephen even provided Matilda with an escort to Bristol. Fro
m there, Matilda wasted little time in resuming her blood
y campaign against Stephen. She defeated and captured Steph
en at the Battle of Lincoln in 1141, marking the beginnin
g of her brief rule of England. Stephen finally prevailed
, defeating Matilda at Winchester. However, in 1153, Matild
a's son Henry, the Duke of Normandy, invaded England and wa
s recognized as Stephen's heir in place of his own sons Eus
tace and William. Henry would rule as one of England's grea
test kings, Henry II.

1068 - 1135 HENRY I KING OF ENGLAND 67 67 King Henry I of England, surnamed Beauclerc. He was burie
d in the Abbey
of Reading, which he had founded. He was given an excellen
t education,
including the English law and language. As a younger son h
e was
notxpected to inherit the crown. Of his elder brothers, Wil
liam
received England and Robert became Duke of Normandy. When W
illiam died,
in 1100, Robert was on a Crusade and Henry seized the crown
. He issued a
charter by which he promised to restore the "laws of Edward
," exchange
customary fees for the unlimited demands of his father an
d brother on
the barons, stop the plundering of the church, and force th
e barons to do
justice to their tenants. By marrying a descendant of the A
nglo-Saxon
Kings he completed his policy of allying himself with the n
ative English.
In both England and Normandy he was more popular with the n
on-feudal
classes than with the barons. English levies helped him rep
el an
invasion of Robert and his victory at Tinchebrai was regard
ed as an
English victory in revenge for Hastings. Several times he w
as successful
in putting down rebellions and conspiracies in Normandy . T
he chief
institution created during his reign was that of the excheq
uer. Source:
Royal Gen. In 1106 he captured Robert and held him until h
e died. Thus he
was also Duke of Normandy from 1106 to 1135. Henry proved t
o be a hard
but just ruler. He apparently died from overeating lampreys!
He was crowned 6 Aug 11 00, at Westminster by Maurice, Bish
op of London.
He was the last male heir of  the Norman line. He was calle
d "Beauclerc"
(or " Good Scholar"). He died at age 67, of ptomaine poison
ing from a
meal of lampreys.

-----------------------------------------
William's younger brother Henry succeeded to the throne. H
e was crowned three days after his brother's death, agains
t the possibility that his eldest brother Robert might clai
m the English throne. After the decisive battle of Tinchebr
ai in 1106 in France, Henry completed his conquest of Norma
ndy from Robert, who then (unusually even for that time) sp
ent the last 28 years of his life as his brother's prisoner
. An energetic, decisive and occasionally cruel ruler, Henr
y centralised the administration of England and Normandy i
n the royal court, using 'viceroys' in Normandy and a grou
p of advisers in England to act on his behalf when he was a
bsent across the Channel. Henry successfully sought to incr
ease royal revenues, as shown by the official records of hi
s exchequer (the Pipe Roll of 1130, the first exchequer acc
ount to survive). He established peaceful relations with Sc
otland, through his marriage to Mathilda of Scotland.
Henry's name 'Beauclerc' denoted his good education (as th
e youngest son, his parents possibly expected that he woul
d become a bishop); Henry was probably the first Norman kin
g to be fluent in English. In 1120, his legitimate sons Wil
liam and Richard drowned in the White Ship which sank in th
e English Channel. This posed a succession problem, as Henr
y never allowed any of his illegitimate children to expec
t succession to either England or Normandy. Henry had a leg
itimate daughter Matilda (widow of Emperor Henry V, subsequ
ently married to the Count d'Anjou). However, it was his ne
phew Stephen (reigned 1135-54), son of William the Conquero
r's daughter Adela, who succeeded Henry after his death, al
legedly caused by eating too many lampreys (fish) in 1135
, as the barons mostly opposed the idea of a female ruler.

THE BATTLE OF HASTINGS, OCT. 14, 1066:
William Duke of Normandy invaded with seven thousand men, i
ncluding over two thousand mounted knights and squires. Th
e Saxon King Harold's army, fighting on foot, were overcom
e by volleys of Norman arrows and repeated cavalry charges.
They were slaughtered. The deeply religious Normans erecte
d the altar of Battle Abbey on the spot where king Harold w
as killed. Their beliefs obliged them to do heavy penance f
or the sins of war. William the Conqueror founded the Bened
ictine abbey in 1070 for the salvation of his soul.
William was born out of wedlock. His bastard status was a s
ource of embitterment for him.
William the Conqueror was fatally injured during an attac

William was killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field, reporte

THE BATTLE OF BOSWORTH FIELD, Aug. 22, 1485
Henry Tudor Earl of Richmond landed in England on Aug. 7 an
d recruited a force of about 5,000 men. He and his commande
r John de Vere 13th Earl of Oxford were opposed by 12,000 t
roops under Richard III, but 4,000 of those were under th
e leadership of Lord Thomas Stanley, who switched allegianc
e to Henry, changing the tide of the battle. In a last desp
erate attempt to win the engagement, Richard III and his pe
rsonal guard attacked Henry. William Brandon, Henry's stand
ard bearer was cut down, but then Richard was surrounded an
d slain. Richard's Yorkist commander John Howard Duke of No
rfolk was also killed that day. The Wars of the Roses had f
inally come to an end. The Tudor dynasty was born.
------------------------
From Charles Brandon and Princess Mary Tudor.
"His father was William Brandon, Henry Tudor's standard bea
rer at Bosworth Field in 1485. He was reportedly killed the
re by Richard III himself. Around 1480 or so, William had m
arried the daughter and heiress of Sir Henry Bruyn of Sout
h Ockendon in Essex. But, unlike his respectable, middle-cl
ass forebears who had led exemplary - and cautious - lives
, William had a taste for politics. When the Duke of Glouce
ster usurped the throne in 1483 and declared himself Richar
d III, William and his younger brother Thomas decided to ma
ke a stand. They joined the duke of Buckingham's rebellion
; it failed and the brothers fled to Brittany where they jo
ined other Lancastrian exiles who supported Henry Tudor, th
e earl of Richmond."

From Charles Brandon and Princess Mary Tudor.
"Charles Brandon, duke of Suffolk, was Henry VIII's closes
t friend. Brandon's father was Henry VII's standard-beare
r at the Battle of Bosworth Field, and died defending the f
uture king. Henry VII repaid his loyalty by educating youn
g Charles with his own children, and from the beginning Cha
rles and the future Henry VIII were devoted friends. Howeve
r, their friendship was sorely tested when Brandon secretl
y married Henry's favorite sister, the beautiful Princess M
ary Tudor.", ,

GODFATHER TO PRINCE EDWARD (EDWARD VI)
Charles mother died in childbirth. His father was the stand
ard bearer for Henry VII and died fighting for him at the B
attle of Bosworth Field. The grateful king took the orphane
d boy into the royal court and educated him with his own ch

Charles Brandon appears as the Duke of Suffolk in Shakespea
re's play HENRY VIII.
In Act V, Sc i, King Henry is anxious in anticipation of hi
s wife Anne Boleyn's giving birth:
KING HENRY VIII
Charles, I will play no more tonight;
My mind's not on't; you are too hard for me.
SUFFOLK
Sir, I did never win of you before.
KING HENRY VIII
But little, Charles;
Nor shall not, when my fancy's on my play.
Now, Lovell, from the queen what is the news?
LOVELL
I could not personally deliver to her
What you commanded me, but by her woman
I sent your message; who return'd her thanks
In the great'st humbleness, and desired your highness
Most heartily to pray for her.
KING HENRY VIII
What say'st thou, ha?
To pray for her? what, is she crying out?
LOVELL
So said her woman; and that her sufferance made
Almost each pang a death.
KING HENRY VIII
Alas, good lady!
SUFFOLK
God safely quit her of her burthen, and
With gentle travail, to the gladding of
Your highness with an heir!
KING HENRY VIII
'Tis midnight, Charles;
Prithee, to bed; and in thy prayers remember
The estate of my poor queen. Leave me alone;
For I must think of that which company
Would not be friendly to.
SUFFOLK
I wish your highness
A quiet night; and my good mistress will
Remember in my prayers.
KING HENRY VIII
Charles, good night.

2010 Bran NACIENS Anna of ARIMATHEA Born after 25 A.D. The cousin of Mary, Jesus' mother. Joseph of ARIMATHEA Born A.D. 1 and died July 27, 82 A.D. Joseph of Arimathea i
s recorded first as a rich man, who provided the sepulchr
e for the body of Jesus (Matt. 27:57-60). "according to th
e Talmud...Joseph was the youngest brother of the father o
f the Virgin Mary. He was her uncle, and therefore a grea
t uncle of Jesus." (George F. Jowett, THE DRAMA OF THE LOS
T DISCIPLES, Covenant Publishing Co.,1978).
Joseph's official title is given as 'Nobilis Decurio'. Thi
s would indicate that he held a prominent position in the R
oman administration as a minister of mines...(Jowett).
"Joseph of Arimathea made his money in the tin trade...wit
h Cornwall (Wales)...made voyages...in his own ships..." (R
ev. Lionel Smithett, ST.JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA OF GLASTONBURY
, James Clark & Co., London, England, 1955, p.167).
"Immediately after the crucifixion, the Jews sought to arre
st Joseph, Nicodemus and others...(he) escaped ... went t
o Philip to be taught, and with son, Josephus, was baptize
d by him." (Smithett).
Cardinal Baronius ...Curator fo the famous Vatican Library.
..quoting from his ECCLESIASTICAL ANNALS referring to the y
ear A.D. 36:
"In that year the party mentioned was exposed to the sea i
n a vessel without sails and without oars. The vessel drift
ed finally to Marseilles (France) and they were saved. Fro
m Marseilles, Joseph and his company passed into Britain...
" (Jowett p.32-33).
See also Jewish Encyclopedia under "arles". Baronius record
, naming the occupants of the castaway boat as Mary Magdale
ne, Martha...and others.
Others report Mary, the Mother of Jesus...and the Bethany s
isters...whom Christ loved...as occupants of the boat" (Jow
ett, pp.63,70,75)".
Cressy, The Benedictine, tells us that St. Joseph died in G
lastonbury, 27 Jul A.D. 82." (Smithett, p.111).
Joseph's descendants became ancestors of some illustrious K
ings and Princes, including "Old King Cole" and the famou
s King Arthur of the Round Table. (Albert F. Schmuhl, THE R
OYAL LINE).
The monk Hugh Paulinus de Cressy, writing during the sevent
eenth century speaks of the first century church in Britain
. It was he who gave us the date of St. Joseph's death, Jul
y 27 A.D. 82, and his coming in these words,
"Now the most eminent of the primitive disciples, and who c
ontributed most to this heavenly building was St.Joseph o
f Arimathea, and eleven of his companions with him, among w
hom is reckoned his son of his own name."
He tells us that Britain "received the beams of the Sun o
f Righteousness before many other countries nearer approach
ing to the place where He first rose".
Cressy spent many years studying and writing in France. I
t is possible that French church documents may have contain
ed some of the information which he passes on to us, the fo
undations of churches in both countries being closely linke
d together. He does claim to have copied original documents
. (OUR NEGLECTED HERITAGE, Gladys Taylor, Covenant Books, E
ngland)
Cressy quotes freely from the Jesuit, Michael Alford, who w
rote his ANNALES ECCLESIAE BRITANNICAE a little before. H
e claimed "The Christian Religion began in Britain within f
ifty years of Christ's Ascension."

Tiberius CLAUDIUS Drusus (b. 10 B.C.E.) ruled for nearly 1
4 years and was responsible for a number of significant cha
nges. He extended the Empire through conquest and annexatio
n, adding the two Mauretanian provinces (Tingitana and Caes
ariensis) (41-43), Britain (43) [>], Lycia (43), Thrace (46
), and Noricum (46). Claudius eventually made Judaea a proc
uratorial province (44). Under Claudius the role of imperia
l freedmen in the imperial administration grew, and such me
n as Narcissus, Polybius, Pallas, and Callistus became weal
thy and powerful, much to the chagrin of the senate. Claudi
us recruited wealthy nobles from Transalpine Gaul into th
e senate (48) and transferred supervision of the state trea
sury (aerarium) from two praetors to quaestors appointed b
y the emperor. Pilloried by ancient sources for being the d
upe of his wives and servants, Claudius's behavior should b
e attributed to his chronic political weakness. Threatene
d by real and potential conspiracies, Claudius tried and ex
ecuted many senators. Source: Encyclopedia of World History

(Research):Caius Julius Caesar III., the Praetor, who die
d suddenly "while putting on his shoes" at Pisa, 84 B.C., h
aving married Aurelia, "an excellent and learned lady." Acc
ording to Durant, "she was a matron of dignity and wisdom
, frugally managing her small home in the unfashionable Sub
ura, a district of shops, taverns, and brothels." They wer
e the parents of the following children:
1. Julia, died at an early age.
2. Caius Julius Caesar IV. ("The Julius Caesar"), one of th
e Nine Worthies, the greatest general Rome ever produced, b
orn July 12, 100 B.C., in Subura, allegedly by the deliver
y operation that bears his name.
According to Durant,
"He traced his pedigree to Julus Ascanius, son of Aeneas, s
on of Venus, daughter of Jupiter: he began and ended as a g
od. The Julian gens, though impoverished, was one of the ol
dest and noblest in Italy. A Caius Julius had been consul i
n 489 B.C., another in 482 B.C., a Vopiscus Julius in 473 B
.C., a Sextus Julius in 157 B.C., another in 90 B.C."
He with Pompey and Crassus formed the first triumvirate. H
e produced many works, of which his commentaries on the Gal
lic and Civil Wars alone have been preserved. Pliny record
s that Caesar "could employ, at one and the same time, hi
s ears to listen, his eyes to read, his hand to write, an
d his tongue to dictate." He is often called the greatest s
tatesman in the world's history. On the Ides of March (Marc
h 15th) 44 B.C., Caesar was murdered at the age of 56. He m
arried in Rome in 84 B.C. (1) Cossutia to please his father
; when soon after his father died, he divorced her and marr
ied (2) Cornelia, daughter of Cinna; their daughter, Julia
, married Pompey. Caesar left no grandchildren surviving. W
hen Cornelia died in 68 B.C., Caesar married (3) Pompeia, g
randdaughter of Sulla. He finally married (4) Calpurnia, da
ughter of L. Piso. In his later years Julius Caesar had aff
airs with many women, often the wives of both friends and e
nemies.
According to Durant,
"We must think of Caesar as at first an unscrupulous politi
cian and a reckless rake, slowly transformed by growth an
d responsibility into one of history's most profound and co
nscientious statesmen. We must not forget, as we rejoice a
t his faults, that he was a great man notwithstanding. We c
annot equate ourselves with Caesar by proving that he seduc
ed women, bribed ward leaders, and wrote books."
The month of July was named in his honor. See Shakespeare'
s "Julius Caesar." Also see Durant, pp. 167-197, for detail
s on his life.

Octavia was the daughter of Gaius Octavius and his second w
ife, Atia. Before 54 BC Octavia was married to Gaius Marcel
lus, by whom she had two daughters and a son. On the deat
h of Marcellus in 40 she was married to Marcus Antonius ( M
ark Antony), who at the time was ruling the Roman state wit
h Octavian and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. At first this marri
age helped to reduce tensions between Antony and Octavian
, and, when the two rulers quarreled in 37, Octavia brough
t about peace between them, which resulted in the Treaty o
f Tarentum. But in 36 Antony left Italy to command troops i
n Parthia and while in the East resumed his liaison with th
e Egyptian queen Cleopatra. Although Octavia brought troop
s and money to him (35), he refused to see her, and in 32 h
e obtained a divorce. Octavia was a faithful wife and mothe
r who raised Antony's children by Cleopatra along with he
r own children. After the death of her son Marcellus in 23
, she withdrew from public life.

2. Caius Augustus Octavius (Octavian) Caesar (C. Julius Cae
sar Octavianus Augustus), called Caesar Augustus in the Ne
w Testament of the Bible, St. Luke 2:1, born September 23
, 63 B.C., died August, A.D. 14, was the first Roman Empero
r (27 B.C.-A.D. 14). As Julius Caesar had been murdered fo
r his aim to efface the Constitution of the Roman Republi
c of 460 years' standing. Augustus was slow to claim Caesar
's power as Imperator but, as the sole survivor of the seco
nd Triumvirate and, though still a young an, was master o
f the world and willing to be known as "the first citizen o
f a free republic," he enjoyed the honorary title of Prince
ps Senatus (Chief of the Senate), which office was not here
ditary. Augustus annulled the unconstitutional acts of th
e Triumvirs and in a decree to the Senate of January 13, 2
7 B.C. was officially described as having "restored the rep
ublic" but, on the day those liberties were restored, the
y were resigned once for all into the hands of their restor
er. Lacking Caesar's commanding genius, Augustus possesse
d the infinite tact and patience which succeeds where geniu
s fails. He knew that men are ruled by imagination, rathe
r than by force. Thus he preserved the Roman Republic in na
me, inviolate, and was careful to assume no title such as k
ing or dictator, which would be offensive to Roman sentimen
t. "Augustus" is a mere title, of which the nearest counter
part is to sought in the phrase "by the grace of God," appl
ied to modern rulers. He was, nevertheless, the first Emper
or of Rome. The title of "Augusta" was later conferred upo
n fewer than ten favored women, some mentioned below. His a
rmy suffering defeat, Augustus' spirit was broken and the l
ast years of his long reign were clouded with failure. He n
ot only desired the admiration of his people but also sough
t their worship. Falling ill on a journey to Campania he me
t the painless death he hoped for, in Livia's arms, Augus
t 19, 14 A.D., aged 76, having reigned for 41 years, succee
ded by Tiberius, who ruled from 14 A.D. to 37 A.D. In his h
onor the month of August was named for Augustus. The Roma
n Empire, which he founded, lasted 500 years, from 29 B.C
. to 476 A.D. He married (1) Claudia (Clodia), with no issu
e, and (2) Scribonia, from whom he later obtained a divorce.

Antony, Mark
Mark Antony, or Marcus Antonius, was triumvir in Rome wit
h Octavian (later Emperor AUGUSTUS) and Marcus Aemilius LEP
IDUS after the murder of Julius CAESAR. He is famous in lit
erature for his liaison with the Egyptian queen CLEOPATRA
, the subject of William Shakespeare's ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA
. He also figures prominently in Shakespeare's JULIUS CAESA
R. A cousin of Julius Caesar through his mother, Antony wa
s born c.83 BC. He first gained notice as a Roman cavalry o
fficer in Palestine and Egypt (57-54) and then joined Caesa
r briefly in Gaul (54-53). Elected quaestor at Rome, he ret
urned to Gaul for two years (52-50). A tribune in 49, he la
ter commanded Caesar's left wing at Pharsalus (48). After b
eing master of the horse (magister equitum) in 47, however
, Antony suffered eclipse until chosen Caesar's co-consul f
or 44 BC. After Caesar's assassination, Antony avoided furt
her bloodshed by restraining Lepidus and conciliating the c
onspirators. Nevertheless, efforts to strengthen his own po
sition against both rival Caesarians and the republicans ev
entually caused leaders in each group, such as Octavian an
d CICERO, to join forces against him. Shortly, however, Ant
ony and Octavian were reconciled, and they united with Lepi
dus to form the Second Triumvirate (November 43). Cicero an
d many others perished in the subsequent proscriptions. Ant
ony then defeated CASSIUS LONGINUS and BRUTUS at Philippi (
42 BC) and set out to reorganize the eastern provinces. Ant
ony's relationship with Octavian soon become strained, as e
ach sought supremacy at Rome. Reconciliations were arranged
: at Brundisium (40), with Antony's marriage to Octavian'
s sister, Octavia; at Misenum (39); and at Tarentum (37), w
ith a 5-year extension of the Triumvirate. Antony, however
, soon abandoned his wife, Octavia, for the Egyptian quee
n Cleopatra. The failure of his invasion of PARTHIA (36) ma
de him more dependent upon Cleopatra's support, and his rel
ationship with her led to an open breach with Octavian. I
n 32 BC, Antony divorced Octavia, and Octavian obtained th
e annulment of Antony's powers as triumvir along with a dec
laration of war against Cleopatra. Battle was joined in Sep
tember 31 BC at Actium. Antony was defeated and fled with C
leopatra to Alexandria, where he committed suicide in Augus
t 30 BC. Although he failed to gain supremacy at Rome, he b
ecame--through his two daughters by Octavia--an ancestor o
f the emperors CALIGULA, CLAUDIUS, and NERO.

Early life and career
Mark Antony was the son and grandson of men of the same nam
e. His father was called Creticus because of his military o
perations in Crete, and his grandfather, one of the leadin
g orators of his day, was vividly portrayed as a speaker i
n Cicero's De oratore. After a somewhat dissipated youth, t
he future triumvir served with distinction in 57-54 as a ca
valry commander under Aulus Gabinius in Judaea and Egypt. H
e then joined the staff of Julius Caesar, to whom he was re
lated on his mother's side, and served with him for much o
f the concluding phase of Caesar's conquest of central an
d northern Gaul and its aftermath (54-53, 52-50). In 51 Ant
ony held the minor office of quaestor, an office of financi
al administration that gave him a place in the Senate, an

DUKE OF NORMANDY
Robert, the eldest son of William the Conqueror, was hot-te
mpered, gregarious and mischievous. He rebelled against hi
s father in 1077, aided by Philip I of France. The rebellio
n was unsuccessful. Father and son were reconciled, but lat
er Robert was exiled. He inherited Normandy on his father'
s death. England went to his younger brother William II an
d the two brothers were intermittently at war. After the de
ath of William II, Robert returned to Normandy from the Cru
sades and invaded England in 1101, but was forced to recogn
ize his other younger brother Henry I as king of England. A
lthough he proved a heroic crusader, Robert was not an abl
e statesman. His mishandling of the government in Normand
y prompted Henry I to invade in 1105. He defeated Robert a
t the Battle of Tinchebrai in 1106, seized Normandy, and se
nt his elder brother to prison where he died at an advance
d age.
Apparently, the nickname "Curthose" meaning "Short Boots,
" referred to Robert's short and stocky stature and the fac
t that he couldn't fill his father's shoes.

FATHER OF THE GREAT SIR WILLIAM MARSHALL
MARSHALL OF THE KING'S HOUSEHOLD, EARL OF SALISBURY
At first John served King Stephen, but when events turned t
o Empress Matilda's favor, he switched allegiance to her an
d remained fiercely loyal to her from then on. John was a r
uthless and cunning baron who lost an eye while melting iro
n in the fire. In 1152, King Stephen laid siege to one of h
is castles and held John's son William as hostage for his f
ather's good behavior during a truce. John ignored the truc
e and used the time to re-fortify and supply his castle. Wh
en King Stephen called John to the castle walls and threate
ned to take his son's life in retaliation, John replied tha
t, "he had the anvils and the hammer to forge still bette
r sons." Fortunately, Stephen's kind heart prevailed. As th
e story goes, he saw little five-year-old William playing w
ith a dog and could not bear to take his life. William woul
d grow up to be the greatest and most chivalrous knight i
n all of England, but he inherited nothing from his father
, except the good favor of Empress Matilda's son Henry II
, who remembered John's loyalty to his mother.
WARNING: Some say the parents of John are Gilbert FitzRicha
rd de Clare and Adelaide de Clermont.

Note:
Sir Bartholomew Badlesmere rose from provincial obscurity t
o national prominence and then abruptly fell; a graphic ill
ustration of the uncertainty of Edward II's England. He wa
s born about 1275 into a gentry family from Badlesmere in K
ent. His father rose to be Justice of Chester in the servic
e of Prince Edward and died in 1301, by then Bartholomew ha
d also made his mark. He served in Gascony in 1294, in Flan
ders in 1297, when he became one of Edward I's household kn
ights, and in Scotland in 1303-4. Almost alone among Edward
's household knights, he was elected to parliament, sittin
g at the Carlisle Parliament of 1307: perhaps evidence of u
nusual political ambitions. Badlesmere was appointed consta
ble of Bristol in 1307, was granted Chilham castle -- hence
forth his principal seat -- in 1309, and from then on he at
tended parliament as a baron. One factor here may be his wi
fe's lands as widowed Countess of Angus and heiress in he
r own right; another may be the patronage of the Earl of Gl
oucester, whose principal retainer he was, and whom he assi
sted as keeper of the realm in 1311.
Note: Note:
Certainly on Gloucester's death at Bannockburn in 1314 Badl
esmere became more prominent in royal service. He was close
ly associated with the Earl of Pembroke. Thus in 1315 he ac
companied Pembroke on his defence of the north; in 1316 Pem
broke helped him bring the recalcitrant citizens of Bristo
l to heel; and in 1317 both went on embassy to Avignon. Lat
e in 1317 it was with Badlesmere that Pembroke strove to re
strain the irresponsibility of Roger Damory and with whos
e assistance in council Pembroke hoped to guide the king mo
re sensibly. The royal grants accompanying Badlesmere's ris
e culminated in his appointment in 1318 as steward of the r
oyal household, an office of first-rate political importanc
e offering intimate contact with the king. In 1316 the kin
g retained him for life for £400 in peace and 5,000 marks (
£3,333) in war, when he was to serve with 100 men-at-arms
, and in 1317 added 1,000 marks for his counsel: high valua
tions indeed for his service. Another sign of his rise ar
e the marriage of his daughter to the heir of the marcher l
ord Roger Mortimer of Wigmore, for which he paid £2,000.
Note: Note:
It was therefore entirely logical that in 1321 Edward II sh
ould send Badlesmere to persuade the northerners not to joi
n the marcher lords against the Despensers, but Badlesmer
e deserted and demonstrated his hatred of the Despensers b
y concocting the false charge of treason against them. Hi
s reasons for rebelling are not clear. Certainly the rise o
f the Despensers to favour with the king deprived Badlesmer
e of much of his influence and his marriage ties with the M
ortimers may have made him sympathetic towards the marchers
. However that may be, the desertion of the steward of hi
s household, bound to him by intimate personal ties, made E
dward II into his most vengeful enemy. That Badlesmere's Ke
ntish lands were isolated from those of the other rebels of
fered Edward the means of revenge. It was probably a delibe
rate ploy to provoke a crisis that provoked him to send Que
en Isabella to Badlesmere's Leeds castle and, when Lady Bad
lesmere predictably refused admission, Edward reacted to th
e affront by besieging the castle. Badlesmere's only hope w
as support from the marchers and northerners, but this Lanc
aster denied him. The reasons for Lancaster's hostility ar
e not known. Opposed by the king and earl, Badlesmere was d
oomed and was duly executed on 14 April 1322. [Who's Who i

William Longespee became Earl of Salisbury in right of hi
s wife. In the beginning of King John's reign this noblema
n was sheriff of Wiltshire, he was afterwards warden of th
e marches of Wales, and then sheriff of the counties of Cam
bridge and Huntingdon. About this period (14th John ) [1213
], the baronial contest commencing, William Longespee at on
ce espoused the royal cause and maintained it so stoutly th
at he was included by the barons amongst the evil councillo
rs of the crown.
The next year he was again constituted sheriff of Wilts an
d he held the office from that time during the remainder o
f his life. He had also a grant of the honour of Eye, in Su
ffolk, and was the same year a witness to the agreement mad
e between
King John and the barons as guarantee for the former. He wa
s likewise a witness to the charter whereby John resigned h
is kingdom to the Pope. After this we find him a principa
l leader in the royal army until the very close of John's r
eign, when
he swerved in his loyalty and joined, for a short period, t

f Henry III [1216], he did homage to that monarch, particul
arly for the county of Somerset, which the king then gave h
im; and joining with William Marshall. governor of the kin
g and kingdom, raised the siege of Lincoln when he was cons
tituted sheriff of Lincolnshire and governor of Lincoln Cas
tle, being invested at the same time with sheriff of the co
. of Somerset, and governorship of the castle of Shirburne
. His lordship soon afterwards accompanied the Earl of Ches
ter to the Holy Land, and was at the battle of Damieta, i
n which the crescent triumphed. He served subsequently in t
he Gascon wars, whence returning to England, Dugdale relate
s, "there arose so great a tempest at sea that, despairin
g of life, he threw his money and rich apparel overboard. B
ut when all hopes were passed, they discerned a mighty tape
r of wax burning bright at the prow of the ship and a beaut
iful woman standing by it who preserved it from wind and ra
in so that it gave a clear and bright lustre. Upon sight o
f which heavenly vision both himself and the mariners concl
uded of their future security, but everyone there being ign
orant what this vision might portend except the earl, he, h
owever, attributed it to the benignity of the blessed virgi
n by reason that, upon the day when he was honoured with th
e girdle of knighthood, he brought a taper to her altar t
o be lighted ever day at mass when the canonical hours use
d to be sung, and to the intent that, for this terrestria
l light, he might enjoy that which is eternal." A rumour, h
owever, reached England of the earls having been lost, an
d Hubert de Burgh, with the concurrence of the king, provid
ed a suitor for his supposed widow, but the lady, in the in
terim, having received letters from her husband, rejected t
he suit with indignation. The earl soon after came to the k
ing at Marlborough and, being received with great joy, he p
referred a strong complaint against Hubert de Burgh, addin
g that, unless the king would do him right therein, he shou
ld vindicate himself otherwise to the disturbance of the pu
blic peace.
Hubert, however, appeased his wrath with rich presents, an
d invited him to his table, where it is asserted that he wa
s poisoned, for he retired to his castle of Salisbury in ex
treme illness and died almost immediately after, anno 1226

Robert, Count of Mortain in Normandy, one of the two sons o

e Conqueror, was b. about 1031. About 1050 he received, fro
m his uterine brother, William, then Duke of Normandy, th
e comte of Mortain, and was thenceforth known as Count of M
ortain. He accompanied William in the invasion of England
, where he was in command of the chivalry of the Cotentin a
t the battle of Hastings, 1066. His share of the spoil wa
s one of the greatest, as, with the exception of the land
s of the King and the Church, he received nearly the whol
e of the county of Cornwall, and is, consequently, usuall
y considered Earl of Cornwall, though only known as Comes M
oritoniensis. At the time of Domesday, he was possessed o
f 797 manors in various counties, besides the borough of Pe
vensey in Sussex, etc. In 1069 he, with Robert, Count of Eu
, defeated the Danes in the parts of Lindsey, with great sl

1022 - 1094 Roger de Montgomery 72 72 Note:
Shrewsbury, Earldom of: In early December 1074 Roger de Mon
tgomery was created Earl of Shropshire or Shrewsbury. As wi
th other medieval earldoms, little distinction was then mad
e between the county town and county proper when designatin
g a specific name for a title, chiefly because an earl, wh
o was then more or less and official, albeit often heredita
ry, was inconceivable except as earl of a county.
Note:
Roger was son of another Roger de Montgomery, seigneur of t
he Norman places (St Germain-de-Montgomery and Ste-Foy-de-M
ontgomery) of that name in the Calvados region. He was a pr
ominent member of the nobles grouped around William (late
r William I of England, The Conqueror) of Normandy well bef
ore the 1066 invasion of England but stayed behind in Norma
ndy during the actual enterprise. The year after Hastings h
e went to England and received land grants in Sussex. He i
s thought to have constructed the Castle of Montgomery (no
w in Powys, but formerly named Mongomeryshire after his fam
ily), doing so shortly before the Domesday Survey. [Burke'
s Peerage, p. 2604]
Note: Shropshire and the Domesday Book in 1086:
Roger de Montgomery II, better known as Earl Roger in the D
omesday, but officially the seigneur of Montgomery, was th
e major recipient of Shropshire holdings. An old man of con
siderable wealth and power, he contributed 60 ships to th
e invasion
fleet and was in command of a wing at the Battle of Hasting
s. He returned to Normandy with Queen Matilda, and the youn
g Duke Robert as Duke William's representative in Normandy
. He became head of the council that governed the Duchy o
f Normandy
in Duke William's frequent absences in England. The Norma
n Montgomery family ancestry was closely interwoven eithe
r by blood or marriage with the Duchy of Normandy. However
, the family history in Normandy was not without blemish. R
oger had fourbrothers, Hugh, Robert, William and Gilbert. A
ll four brothers were murdered in revenge for the murder o
f Osberne de Crepon, guardian of Duke William. Roger was th
e survivor. Continuing, Roger de Montgomery had four sons
. Eldest was Robert, Count of Alencon, and successor in Nor
mandy to his vast estates which he still held for his fathe
r Roger as his chief domain. He was followed by second son
, Hugh, who inherited the Earldom of Arundel, Chichester an
d Shrewsbury, the life custodian of the main Montgomery fam
ily domains granted in England. These would eventually go t
o Robert in 1098, purchased from William Rufus for 3000 pou
nds. Next youngest was Count Roger de Poitou who was made t
he first Earl of Lancaster by DukeWilliam of Normandy, a le
ss maganamious grant which befitted the third youngest son
. Philip, the youngest, remained in Normandy and accompanie
d Duke Robert on the first crusade to the Holy land, and di
ed there in 1094.
Note:
Earl Roger was responsible to Duke William of Normandy as h
is chief architect in the defence of the middle marches o
f the border in his defence against the Welsh. He built man
y castles including Montgomery, Shrewsbury, Arundel, Ludlow
, Clun, Hopton and Oswestry His son, Robert, described at t
he Conquest as a 'novice in arms', but who might have bee
n 40 by the Domesday, represented his father Earl Roger, an
d created some confusion in the records. Roger, the father
, became the Earl of Shrewsbury and the Earl of Arundel i
n England, and retained his domains in Normandy at Bailleu
l (Kings of Scotland), Belmeis (Beaumais), Pantulf, Vimouti
ers, Say and Tornai. However, Earl Roger also became confus
ed with Roger de Beaumont in Normandy, who, it is claimed
, was also head of the council in Normandy.

1113 - 1151 Geoffrey IV (le Bon) PLANTAGENET 38 38 Name Prefix:<NPFX> Count
Note:
Geoffrey IV, also called GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, byname GEOFF
REY THE FAIR, French GEOFFROI PLANTAGENET, or GEOFFROI le B
EL (b. Aug. 24, 1113--d. Sept. 7, 1151, Le Mans, Maine [Fra
nce]), count of Anjou (1131-51), Maine, and Touraine and an
cestor of the Plantagenet kings of England through his marr
iage, in June 1128, to Matilda (q.v.), daughter of Henr
y I of England. On Henry's death (1135), Geoffrey claimed t
he duchy of Normandy; he finally conquered it in 1144 and r
uled there as duke until he gave it to his son Henry (late
r King Henry II of England) in 1150.
Note:
Geoffrey was popular with the Normans, but he had to suppre
ss a rebellion of malcontent Angevin nobles. After a shor
t war with Louis VII of France, Geoffrey signed a treaty (A
ugust 1151) by which he surrendered the whole of Norman Vex
in (the border area between Normandy and Île-de-France) t
o Louis. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]
Note:
The Plantagenet family name was originally just a nicknam
e for Geoffrey. He many times wore a sprig with yellow flow
ers in his hat. The flower was named "genet" or "genistae
" in the French of the times--thus his nickname was "Plant-
a-Genet".
Genet was supposedly a traditional flower of the Anjou fami
ly dating back to the time of Fulk, The Great, Count of Anj
ou 898-941 who was scourged (in order to atone for past sin
s) with broom twigs of the Genet while on pilgrimage in Jer
usalem.
Most people of the times had personal nicknames such as "Be
auclerc", "Curtmantel", "Longshanks", and "Lackland", but G
eoffrey's stuck and eventually (many generations later) bec
ame the family name. Geoffrey's immediate descendants wer
e probably not known as the Plantagenet family at the tim
e they lived, it was only later that the Plantagenet famil
y name was applied to all descendants of Geoffrey.
1104 - 1167 Matilda (Maud the Empress) of England 63 63 Matilda (Maud the Empress) of England  (1102-1167), was lef
t the sole legitimate child of Henry I. by the loss of hi
s son in the White Ship (1120). She married (1) Emperor Hen
ry V, Emperor of Rome, and was crowned at Mainz (1114), bu
t was widowed in 1125 and married (2) Geoffrey IV. le Bel
, Plantaganet, 10th Count of Anjou and Maine, Duke of Norma
ndy, having won the Duchy from Stephen, son of Fulk V. th
e Younger, 9th Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, and his w
ife, Ermengarde. See their ancestral lineage elsewhere in V
ol. I. Her first husband was thirty years older, her secon
d husband, ten years younger than herself. Henry made the b
arons recognize the Empress as his heir (1126, 1131, and 11
33), but when he died Stephen ignored her claim to rule Eng
land by hereditary right. The Normans preferred his chivalr
ous geniality to her haughtiness and they disliked the Hous
e of Anjou as much as they did the House of Blois, into whi
ch Stephen's mother, the Conqueror's daughter Adela, had ma
rried. The Empress appealed to the Pope in vain (1136) an
d Archbishop Thurstan of York defeated her uncle and champi
on, David I., King of Scotland (1084-1153) at the Battle o
f the Standard (1138); but at last she landed in England. G
eoffrey was the original Plantaganet, so named by his compa
nions for the broom corn he wore on his person. Matilda an
d Geoffrey had two sons as follows:
1. Henry II 
2. Geoffrey, died in 1158.
It is through Geoffrey that the Plantaganet line from Franc
e was brought into the British royalty (see the lineage o
f the Counts of Anjou elsewhere). He died in 1151. After Ge
offrey's death Matilda lived in Normandy, charitable and re
spected. Matilda died in 1167. Geoffrey was succeeded by hi
s eldest son, Henry.
1068 - 1135 HENRY I KING OF ENGLAND 67 67 Note:
Henry I was born in the year 1068---a factor he himself reg
arded as highly significant, for he was the only son of th
e Conqueror born after the conquest of England, and to Henr
y this meant he was heir to the throne. He was not an attra
ctive proposition: he was dissolute to a degree, producin
g at least a score of bastards; but far worse he was pron
e to sadistic cruelty---on one occasion, for example, perso
nally punishing a rebellious burgher by throwing him from t
he walls of his town.
Note: 
At the death of William the Conqueror, Henry was left no la
nds, merely 5,000 pounds of silver. With these he bought la
nds from his elder brother Robert Curthose, Duke of Normand
y, only to see them taken back again a few years later by R
obert, in unholy alliance with his brother William Rufus.
Note:
Henry could do little to avenge such treatment, but in Engl
and he found numerous barons who were tired of the exaction
s and ambitions of their king. He formed alliances with som
e of these, notably with the important de Clare family. H
e and some of the de Clares were with William Rufus on hi
s last hunting expedition, and it is thought that the king'
s death was the result of Henry's plotting.
Note:
Certainly he moved fast to take advantage of it; leaving Ru
fus's body unattended in the woods, he swooped down on Winc
hester to take control of the treasury. Two days later he w
as in Westminster, being crowned by the Bishop of London. H
is speed is understandable when one realises that his elde
r brother, Robert [Curthose], was returning from the crusad
e, and claimed, with good reason, to be the true heir.
Note:
Henry showed great good sense in his first actions as King
. He arrested Ranulph Flambard, William's tax-gatherer, an
d recalled Anselm, the exiled Archbishop. Furthermore, he i
ssued a Charter of Liberties which promised speedy redres
s of grievances, and a return to the good government of th
e Conqueror. Putting aside for the moment his many mistress
es, he married the sister of the King of Scots, who was des
cended from the royal line of Wessex; and lest the Norman b
arons should think him too pro-English in this action, he c
hanged her name from Edith to Matilda. No one could claim t
hat he did not aim to please.
Note: In 1101 Robert Curthose invaded, but Henry met him a
t Alton, and persuaded him to go away again by promising hi
m an annuity of £2,000. He had no intention of keeping up t
he payments, but the problem was temporarily solved.
Note:
He now felt strong enough to move against dissident baron
s who might give trouble in the future. Chief amongst thes
e was the vicious Robert of Bellême, Earl of Shrewsbury, wh
om Henry had known for many years as a dangerous troublemak
er. He set up a number of charges against him in the king'
s court, making it plain that if he appeared for trial he w
ould be convicted and imprisoned. Thus Robert and his colle
agues were forced into rebellion at a time not of their ow
n choosing, were easily defeated and sent scuttling back t
o Normandy.
Note:
In Normandy Robert Curthose began to wreak his wrath on al
l connected with his brother, thus giving Henry an excellen
t chance to retaliate with charges of misgovernment and inv
ade. He made two expeditions in 1104-5, before the great ex
pedition of 1106 on which Robert was defeated at the hour-l
ong battle of Tinchebrai, on the anniversary of Hastings. N
o one had expected such an easy victory, but Henry took adv
antage of the state of shock resulting from the battle to a
nnex Normandy.
Robert was imprisoned (in some comfort, it be said); he liv
ed on for 28 more years, ending up in Cardiff castle whilin
g away the long hours learning Welsh. His son William Clit
o remained a free agent, to plague Henry for most of the re
st of his reign.

Note: Christened Edith, but adopted the name Matilda upon h

ines.
(Research):Edith - Margaret (Matilda) of Scotland , born i
n 1080 and died in 1118, married Henry I. Beauclerc, King o
f England, son of William I The Conqueror (ruler from 106
6 to 1087) and his wife, Matilda of Flanders, who died in 1
083. See this lineage in the Early French Ancestors in Volu
me I. Matilda was educated at Wilton and Romsey Abbey wher
e she said that her aunt, Christina, forced her to wear a b
lack veil. She threw it on the ground whenever left alone
, in spite of beatings. When her mother died she came to En
gland to Edgar Atheling, her uncle. She was a sister of Kin
g David of Scotland; she was a correspondent of Anselm an
d Hildebert, Bishop of Le Mans, who wrote poetry about her
. She was a symbol of the union of Saxon and Norman. She wa
s Henry's Queen for seventeen years and six months, and die
d in her prime like most of her family. Henry and Matilda h
ad a son and a daughter as follows:
1. William, Duke of Normandy, died in a shipwreck in 1119.
2. Matilda (Maud the Empress) 
In addition to these legitimate births, Henry is reported t
o have had nineteen or twenty illegitimate children, the hi
ghest number of spurious offspring for a King of England t
o have acknowledged. The best known of them all is Robert t
he Consul, Earl of Gloucester, father of Maud, wife of Ranu
lph de Meschines, 2nd Earl of Chester. Another was Reginald
, a natural son from a relationship between Henry I. of Eng
land and his mistress, Elizabeth Beaumont, daughter of Robe
rt de Beaumont, Count of Meulent and Earl of Leicester, (so
n of Roger de Beaumont and his wife, Adelina, Countess of M
eulent) and his wife Elizabeth Vermandois, younger daughte
r of Hugh Magnus, the Great, of France, Count of Vermandois
. Reginald, married Beatrix, daughter of William Fitz Richa

l power in the Scottish kingdom.
Note:
The son of King Duncan I (reigned 1034-40), Malcolm lived i
n exile in England during part of the reign of his father'
s murderer, Macbeth (reigned 1040-57). Malcolm killed Macbe
th in battle in 1057 and then ascended the throne. After th
e conquest of England by William the Conqueror, in 1066, Ma
lcolm gave refuge to the Anglo-Saxon prince Edgar the Aethe
ling and his sisters, one of whom, Margaret (later St. Marg
aret), became his second wife.
Note:
Malcolm acknowledged the overlordship of William in 1072 bu
t nevertheless soon violated his feudal obligations and mad
e five raids into England. During the last of these invasio
ns he was killed by the forces of King William II Rufus (re
igned 1087-1100). Except for a brief interval after Malcolm
's death, the Scottish throne remained in his family unti

Note:
Note -between 936 and 954 in France: King:936-954. When Lou
is IV's father [Charles "Le Simple"] was captured [by Herbe
rt de Vermandois in 923] , his mother Eadgifu took him to E
ngland for refuge. Louis IV came to the throne thanks to the
support of Hughes, Count of Paris who had Louis IV recalle
d to France to succeed King Raoul (reign: 923-936). On 19 J
une 936, the new King, arrived in Boulogne, from England [h
ence the nickname "from overseas"] . He is annointed in Lao
n by the
Archbishop of Reims, Artaud. Hughes "Le Grand" fancies hims
elf the mentor of the King, but the King is rather independ
ent of mind. Louis struggled against Hughes "Le Grand", Cou
nt of Paris, through most of his reign. In 936, the new Ger
man
King, Otton I (who had just succeeded Henri I) tries to arb
itrate their quarrels. In 938, King Louis "d'Outremer" make
s an enemy out of Otton by marching into Lorraine. In 940
, Otton I invades France and marches on Paris, with the hel
p of his
allies, Hughes "Le Grand" and Hughes de Vermandois. The Kin
gdom is split in two. While fighting the Normans in an atte
mpt to recapture Normandy, Louis IV was made prisoner in 94
5 in Rouen. His liberty following that capture was short-li
ved as
Louis IV fell into the hands of Hughes "Le Grand", now Duk
e de France, who kept him prisoner for one year until 946
. An alliance with the German King Otto I allowed Louis I
V to defeat Hughes (having had Hugues de Vermandois excommu
nicated in
948 at the Council of Ingelheim; The Church Council met aga
in in September that year and excommunicated Hughes "Le Gra
nd"), who made peace in 950 with Louis because he needed th
e support of the Church. Louis IV married Gerberge, Siste

Note: King of France 893-922, known as "The Simple"
Note: Gave his daughter, Gisella, to Rollo, the Viking, i
n order to stop the raids on the coast. Gave the coast to R
ollo to protect. Rollo thus became the first Duke of Norman
dy.
Note - between 893 and 929: Charles III was the posthumou
s son of Louis "Le Begue", and was crowned King in 893 by F
ouques, Archbishop of Reims, with the full support of Odon'
s brother Robert, Richard of Burgundy, William of the Auver
gne and
Herbert of Vermandois. Baldwin (Baudouin) of Flanders mad
e his submission later. He was a rival of the effective Kin
g, the Count Eudes who, upon Odon's death in 898, recognize
d Charles' rights. With the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Ept
e (911),
Charles gave Normandy to the Viking Chief Rollo making hi
m first Duke of Normandy, and pacifying the Seine Vikings
. That year, 911, Charles also became King of Lotharingia
, which may have been related in part to the fact that hi
s first wife,
Frederuna who bore him 6 daughters, was Lotharingian. He re
vived the title Rex Francorum. In 919, when Charles fough
t the Magyars, none of the nobles except for Heriveus, th
e Archbishop of Reims sent him any troops for assistance. I
n 920,
Robert led a revolt against Charles.
Note: 
Some Lotharingian nobles, led by Gilbert (Gislebert) son o
f Ragnar Longneck, declared their independence from Charles
' authority. Gilbert invoked the aid of the new ruler of th
e East Franks, a Saxon known as Henry "the Fowler" ("l'Oise
leur").
Charles, after quelling the resistance of the Lotharingia
n Count Ricoin made a treaty with Henry at Bonn in 921. The
y met on equal terms as Rex Francorum Occidentalium (Charle
s) and Rex Francorum Orientalium (Henry). Charles was depos
ed in 922
by Herbert, Count of Vermandois upon the death of his mai
n supporter, Richard of Burgundy. Charles and his favorit
e Hagano fled to hide in Lotharingia. During his absence, R
obert was elected King and crowned by Walter, Archbishop o
f Sens under
the nose of Heriveus who was on his deathbed (he died 3 day
s later). Charles met Robert in battle at Soissons on 15 Ju
ne 923. Robert was killed, but the forces led by his son Hu
gh and by Herbert of Vermandois defeated the King's army and
Charles retreated. On 13 July 923, a new King Ralph, the el
dest son of Richard The Justiciar of Burgundy was elected K
ing and anointed in the Church of St. Medard at Soissons b

~0904 - >0951 Eadgifu Ogive Of England 47 47 Name Prefix:<NPFX> Queen of France 0869 - 17 Jul 924 Edward I (The Elder) Of England Name Prefix:<NPFX> King
Note:
Edward, byname EDWARD THE ELDER (d. 17 July 924, Farndon o
n Dee, England), Anglo Saxon king in England, the son of Al
fred the Great. As ruler of the West Saxons, or Wessex, fro
m 899 to 924, Edward extended his authority over almost al
l of England by conquering areas that previously had been h
eld by Danish invaders.
Note: 
Edward ascended the throne upon his father's death in Octob
er 899, and in battle in 902 his forces killed a rival clai
mant, Aethelwald, who had allied with the Danes. After defe
ating the Northumbrian Danes at Tettenhall, he set out in A
ugust 912 to subdue the Danes of the eastern Midlands and E
ast Anglia. From 910 to 916 he constructed a series of fort
ified enclosures around his Kingdom of Wessex.
Note:
At the same time, his sister, the Mercian ruler Aethelflaed
, constructed a complementary series of fortresses in the n
orthwest Midlands. In 917 Edward and Aethelflaed launche
d a massive offensive, quickly overwhelming the entire Dani
sh army of East Anglia. Upon Aethelflaed's death in June 91
8, Edward assumed control of Mercia, and by the end of th
e year the last Danish armies in the Midlands had submitted
. By that time Edward's kingdom included all the lands sout
h of the Humber estuary; in 920 he pacified Northumbria. Co
mplete political unification of England was achieved durin
g the reign of his son and successor, Athelstan (reigned 92
4-939). [Encyclopaedia Britannica]
Note:
Well-trained by Alfred, his son Edward 'the Elder' (reigne
d 899-924) was a bold soldier who defeated the Danes in Nor
thumbria at Tettenhall in 910 and was acknowledged by the V
iking kingdom of York. The kings of Strathclyde and the Sco
ts submitted to Edward in 921. By military success and pati
ent planning, Edward spread English influence and control
. Much of this was due to his alliance with his formidabl
e sister Aethelflaed, who was married to the ruler of Merci
a and seems to have governed that kingdom after her husband
's death.
Note:
Edward was able to establish an administration for the king
dom of England, whilst obtaining the allegiance of Danes, S
cots and Britons. Edward died in 924, and he was buried i
n the New Minster which he had had completed at Winchester
. Edward was twice married, but it is possible that his eld
est son Athelstan was the son of a mistress.
(Research):Edward I., the Elder , "the Unconquerored King,
" was born about 870 and died about 924. He reigned 24 year
s from 900 to 924. He was not, like his father, a legislato
r or a scholar, although it is said that he founded the Uni
versity of Cambridge, but he was great warrior. He graduall
y extended his sway over the whole island, in which projec
t he was assisted by his sister the "Lady of Mercia" who he
aded her own troops and gained victories over both the Dane
s and Britons. Tradition assigns to Edward an even wider ru
le shortly before his death. In the middle of the ninth cen
tury the Picts and the Scots had been amalgamated under Ken
neth MacAlpin, the King of the Scots, just as Mercia and We
ssex were being welded together by the attacks of the Danes
. It is said that in 925 the King of the Scots, together wi
th other northern rulers, chose Edward "to father and lord.
" Probably this statement only covers some act of allianc
e formed by the English King with King of Scots and other l
esser rulers. Nothing was more natural than that of the Sco
ttish King, Constantine, should wish to obtain the suppor
t of Edward against his enemies; and it is natural that i
f Edward agreed to support him he would require some acknow
ledgment of the superiority of the English King. After a pr
osperous reign, King Edward died in Forndon, Northamptonshi
re in 925. He married (3) Lady Edgiva (Edgina), daughter o

Edmund II., Ironsides, was born in 989 and succeeded his fa

t through treachery he was completely overthrown at Assandu

s father's death, April, 1016, while Canute was elected a
t Southampton by the Witan. Edmund hastily levied an army i
n the west, defeated Canute twice, raised the siege of Lond
on, and again routed the Danes. Levying a fresh army, he de
feated them at Otford, his last victory. At Ashingdon in Es
sex, after a desperate fight, he was routed. By compromis
e with Canute, the latter retained Mercia and Northumbria
, Edmund all the south and the headship, the survivor to su

Edgar, the Peaceful, the fourth Boy King, was born in 943 a

eighboring tributary states. The story, though probably unt
rue, sets forth his power not only over his own immediate s

y were afraid of the Danes, and joined the Danes whenever t
hey were afraid of the English. Edmund made it to be the in
terest of the Scottish King permanently to join the English
. The southern part of the kingdom of Strathclyde had for s
ome time been under the English Kings. In 945 Edmund took t
he remainder, but gave it to Malcolm on condition that he s
hould be his fellow worker by sea and land. The king of th
e Scots thus entered into a position of dependent allianc
e towards Edmund. A great step was thus taken; the dominan
t powers in the island were to be English and Scots, not En
glish and Danes. Edmund thought it worth while to conciliat
e the Scottish Celts rather than to endeavor to conquer the
m. The result of Edmund's statesmanship was soon seen, bu
t he did not live to gather its fruits. On May 26, 946 an o
utlaw named Lief, who had taken his seat at a banquet in hi
s hall, slew him as Edmund was attempting to drag him out b
y his hair. He was succeeded by his brother Edred. He marri
ed Princess Elgiva (Aelfgifu), known as the "Fairies Gift,.
" who died in 944. Edmund and his wife had the following ch
ildren:
1. Edwig (Eadwig), who became the third Boy King, reignin
g from 955 to 959.
2. Edgar the Peaceful, who succeeded Edwig. See below.

Note:
from the Culpepper site:
The eldest son, Sir Thomas Culpeper, who was executed at Wi
nchelsea in 1321, seems to have married Margery, a daughte
r of the Bayhall family, and either by this match, or by pu
rchase, to have acquired their estates. This Thomas is call
ed in 1306 "fil' Thom' Colepeper de Brenchesle." The follow
ing evidence is adduced to show that Margery probably belon
ged to the Bayhall famiIy.
In 1299 there is the grant, mentioned before, by Benedict
a daughter of Thomas de Chitcroft, which family bore identi
cally the same arms as the Colepepers (and therefore Thomn
s de Chitcrolt may hnve been a Colepeper himself, or he an
d Thomas Colepeper may both by marriage with the Bayhall he
iresses have adopted their coat of arms) to Thomas, son o
f Thomas Colepeper, and Margery his wife of lands at Beghal
l with part of a mill in Pepinbury.13
1308. Charter in which Cecilia, Margeria, Amicia, and Chris
tina, daughters of John atte Bayhalle grant to Thomas the s

1312. Grant of Walter son of Jeffrey atte Beyhalle and Agne
s his daughter and Ralph Neweman to Thomas Colepeper and Ma
rgery his wife for 26 shillings "quandam granam terrae in P

1313. Gilbert ate Beyhalle grants to Thomas Colepeper and M
argery for 50 shillings a piece of land in Pepingbery to b

bery.19
1315. Christina de Bayhalle grants to Thomas Colepeper an

vor owes yearly to her.20
1316. Grant from Ralph Newheman to Thomas Colepeper and Mar
gery his wife of lands at Beahalle in fields called "Redest
" and "Mesebort" in Pepinbury.21
1316. Charter by which Christina daughter of John atte Bayh
alle grants to Thomas Colepeper and Margery for two shillin
gs all that part of wood "inter Rodgate et stagna de Bayhal

1317. Christina daughter of John atte Bayhalle grants to Th
omas Colepeper and Margery for 4 marcs a messuage and land

1317. Quitclaim by Johanna widow of John atte Beyhalle to T
homas Colepeper and Margery his wife of a house and lands a

Sir Thomas Colepeper, who "pro bono servicio in partibus Sc
otie" received a pardon in the 32nd year of Edward for brea
king the park of the Prior of Christ Church, Canterbury, a
t Westwell, and the park of the Prior of Michelham, in th
e 29th year of that King's reign,25 took the side of the Ea
rl of Lancaster against Edward I, and being Governor of Win
chelsea, was there executed in 1321.
Previous to this, however, by a fine levied in 1320, part o
f his estates, consisting of 2 messuages (houses), 2 mills
, 405 acres of land, 20 acres of meadow, 60 acres of pastur
e, 80 acres of wood and 20 shillings annual rental in Pepyn
gbery, Thonebregg and Teudele, were settled on himself an
d Margery his wife for life, with remainder to their sons W
alter, John and Richard in succession.26
By Inquisition taken at Tunbridge 25th February, 1 Edward I
I (1327), it was found that Thomas Colepeper died seized o
f Bayhalle, with lands in Pepyngbery, Thonebregg and Teudel
e, and that Walter was his son and heir, aged 22 years on t
he feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary las

Note:
Bayhall has been the residence of many well known families
, the earliest being the Culpepers and the Duke of Buckingh
am. Later it belonged to the Amherst family.
The manor of Bayhall lay in the valley on the south side o
f the village of Pembury. Ruins of the house were still t
o be seen until about 1960. At this time one of the nationa
l newspapers told a rather exaggerated story of its being h
aunted. People coming to see it made themselves such a nuis
ance and rendered it so unsafe, that the owner got permissi
on to clear it away. The ghost was supposed to be that of A

A picture of the mansion at Bayhall may be seen in the Tunb

Simon and Argent Cox Whitehurst were the first of this fami
ly to move towhat is now Pitt County, North Carolina, comin
g from Princess AnneCounty, Virginia, in 1723.
Note:
They had five children born in Va, and later moved the fami
ly to Beaufort County,
North Carolina, and settled on South Dividing Creek. >The 1
790 Census of Beaufort County, N.C., list three Simon White
hurst. Surname was misspelled even then as Whittus.
Simon Whitehurst was the ancestor in the North Carolina fam
ily from whom both Henry and his son Zackariah Whitehurst w
ere descended. Simon migrated from Virginia settling firs
t in Tyrell Co, NC according to deeds found there, and late
r with his sons and daughters in Beaufort County, NC on Sou
th Dividing Creek. He had married Miss Argent Cox of Prince
ss Anne County, Virginia where his father was born. It is l
ikely he arrived to NC from VA with his father Simon. Ther
e is another account that states they were in Pitt Co prio
r to Beaufort although this account is not documented.
"In approximately 1723 Simon and his wife Argent were the f
irst of his family to move to what is now Pitt County NC fr
om Princess Anne Co, VA. This data was found in the Chronic
les of Pitt Co, NC, Whitehurst Family Article by Manning"
. They migrated to Beaufort Co. where they settled on Sout
h Dividing Creek. In 1779 Beaufort Co. Taxables lists Simo
n "Whitehouse", ASS. 502 and Henry Whitehouse" Ass. 140. Tr
adition said that the Whitehurst family came from Dublin, I
reland -- but that they were English. According to "VA. Ant
iquity" Vol. 1 - Princess Anne Co. loose papers 1700 - 178
9 by John Creecy - on page 4, dated 1750/1 shows Simon Whit
ehurst & Batson Whitehurst purchasing the estate of Jno. Wi
lbur. The date given for the migration of Simon and his wif
e Argent supposedly to Pitt County is too near his estimate
d birth date. His son Henry was born in 1753 30 years afte
r the Pitt County account states Simon and Argent were thou
ght to be in Pitt County. Simon's son Batson may have migra
ted to Pitt, however, Henry served in the American Revoluti
on War in 1781 from Beaufort County as did Batson. Henry le
ft estate records and Hillery left a will in Beaufort Co, N
C. Simon Whitehurst married second a Mary Mason in Craven C
ounty on September 11, 1804. This precludes him dying as th
e husband or widower of Argent Cox and in Pitt Co, NC. Simo
n died and was likely buried either in probably in Beaufor
t or possibly Craven Co, NC. His grandson Shadrack's famil
y lived in New Bern, Craven County.

2.ROBERT II de Stuteville. Not believed to have held lan

[And on the identification of Erneburga as daughter of Hu

Moriarty assumed Ernneburga was fitzBaldric's daughter bec
a use around 1087 some of Hugh FitzBaldric's lands found th
ei r way into Stuteville hands. Moriarty appears unaware th
a t they had been confiscated and there is no evidence to s
up port the assumption that Erneburga was Hugh's daughter
. Oth er major landholders such as the Brus family receive
d porti ons of fitz Baldric lands too. Hugh's known sons-in
-law inc luded Walter de Rivere and Guy de Craon. [K-R Dome
sday Peop le,267-268].
---------------------------
Robert de Estoteville acquired a great inheritance with h
i s wife, Eneburga, daughter and heir of Hugh, son of Baldr
ic k, a great Saxon thane, and among other lands, had the l
ord ship of Schypwyc, or Skipwic. He left three sons, Rober
t, O smund, and Patrick. [John Burke & John Bernard Burke

k wa s a younger son of this Robert's son (also Robert).

Of this second Robert, Orderic speaks "as a brave and powe

t C ourt-heuse), "and superintended his troops and fortress

1106) , and not, as other authorities aver, sent over to En

fter Easter 1136 hostilities began between him and the Kin
g 's generals, the twins Waleran, Count of Meulan, and Robe
rt , Earl of Leicester; and civil war raged in May and June
. In the autumn the fighting flared up again; but on 3 Octo
ber Roger was ambushed and captured by Count Waleran and He
nry de la Pommeraye. His land was laid under an interdict a
nd he was kept in prison for more than 6 months, but was re
leased in 1137. In May 1138 he was attacked by the Count o
f Meulan and William d'Ypres, but defended himself successf
ully; and on 7 September he captured Breteuil and burnt th
e town. However, before the end of 1138 he made peace wit
h the twin Earls, who conducted him to England, where he wa
s reconciled to King Stephen.  Nothing is known of what hap
pened to his English lands during this period. In 1150 or 1
151 he was with Henry, Duke of Normandy, at Rouen. After He
nry had become King, Roger enjoyed the royal favour; for be
tween Michaelmas 1157 and Michaelmas 1158 the King grante
d him 100 solidates of land at Holkham, Norfolk. He was a b
enefactor to the abbeys of la Noë, Conches and Bec.
He married Ida, daughter of BALDWIN III, COUNT OF HAINAUL
T , by Yolande, daughter of Gerard, COUNT OF GUELDERS. Wit
h her he had in marriage from Henry 120 librates of land ou
t of the royal demesne at East Bergholt, Suffolk. He died a

Roger de Toeni [the third of that name, or III] was born c

suma bly survived him, as Henry II granted her [Ida de Toun

This couple had four known sons:
(1) Ralph de Toeni [V], who succeeded his father and die

WILLIAM DE MOION, LORD OF DUNSTER, was heir of Willia

rtai n. In 1131 he was at the Council of Northampton. Befor
e th e dea th of Henry I he held more than 30 knight's fees
. I n 1138 he held Dunster Castle for the Empress Maud. Fro
m th is stron ghold he committed such ravages on the countr
ysid e that King Stephen marched against him in force; bu
t findi ng Dunste r Castle impregnable he left a blockadin
g force u nder Henr y de Tracy, who is said to have curbe
d William' s depredations. In 1141 he joined the Empress an
d was almos t certainly at Winchester when she was electe
d Queen of Eng land on 8 April. Probably soon afterwards, a
nd certainly be fore 2 4 June 1141, Maud created him EARL O
F SOMERSET. He w as wit h her at Westminster, about 20-24 J
une, and fled wit h her to Winchester, where he fought fo
r her during the sie ge (Aug ust-September). His subsequen
t career is obscure. H e founde d a priory at Bruton (Somer
set), possibly in or so on afte r 1142; and he was a benefa
ctor to the priories o f Bridling ton and (possibly) Taunto
n. He married Agnes, da ughter of W alter DE GANT. He d. pr
obably in or before 1155 . Stephen did not recognise his Ea

liam or his son, the Earld om of Somer set (so far as it ex
isted) lapsed at or befor e his death. [ Complete Peerage X
