| 1612 | Ralph Shepard, a tailor from Stepney, England, embarked on a significant journey with his wife, Thankslorde (Perkins) Shepard, and their two-year-old daughter Sarah in 1635. They set sail for New England aboard the ship Abigail, captained by Robert Hackwell. Their departure was documented on June 30, 1635, with Ralph aged 29 and Thankslorde aged 23. Upon their arrival in New England, the Shepards initially settled in Watertown. Over the next fifteen years, Ralph and Thankslorde's life was marked by mobility and land transactions. They moved several times, purchasing and selling land in various locations, including Dedham in 1637, Weymouth in 1639, Malden by 1650, and eventually settling in Concord by 1666. Although Ralph had land in Seekonk, also known as Rehoboth, there is no evidence that the family ever lived there, and eventually, he forfeited this land. During these years, Ralph and Thankslorde expanded their family, welcoming six more children, of whom five reached maturity and went on to have children of their own. Notably, both Ralph and Thankslorde possessed the ability to sign their names. This skill was relatively rare during that period, especially for a woman, and indicates a level of literacy that was not common among the general population. Ralph and Thankslorde Shepard's life in New England reflects the experiences of many early settlers - a story of movement, land ownership, and family growth in the New World. Their ability to sign their names suggests a level of education and engagement with their community that was remarkable for the time, particularly in the case of Thankslorde. Their story is a testament to the challenges and opportunities faced by early immigrants in America. | SHEPARD, Ralph (I4936)

Wiggin in Dover in 1634. He was living in 1671, and had second wife, Jane, in 1655. He lived on the Pascataqua shore of Newington.

(2) before 1655, Jane--- THOMAS KINNE (Kenney, Keeney) of Norfolk, England, according to numerous reported sources, had three sons. Two of them, William and John, have been listed with their descendents in the most recent KEENEY UPDATES. These families populated much of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, as well as New York and midwestern states.THOMAS II, referred to in New Hampshire archives, chose to go by the name of CANNEY, as did his early descendents.The three sons of Sir Thomas did not come to America together. According to Names of Stewards & Servants Sent by John Mason Esq. To Colony of New Hampshire Thomas Canney was listed as the first settle on New Hampshire. His birth date was listed as 1611 at Okelhampton. He settled first at Thompson's Point in Dover.Thomas was sent to America in 1631, got land from Captain Wiggins in 1634, was listed as a freeman (suggesting that he had "worked off' his cost of passage), was taxed several times between 1648 and 1668, and was alive in 1699, although he had lost his sight.Although some sources say that the first wife of Thomas Canney is unknown, later sources list his first marriage to MARY LOOME in 1637 and a second marriage to JANE in 1657.Thomas gave his son JOSEPH real and personal property on 3 December 1669. Later, Thomas Canney III & wife Grace gave land near Thompson's Point, Dover, to his brother Samuel on 12 August 1703. Thomas had earlier, on 20 February 1640, petitioned with several others the Royal Government of Massachusetts "that we may comfortably enjoy the benefits of His Majesty's laws".John Mason, benefactor of Thomas Canney, named this new colony for his own English county Hampshire. The colony was 9th in ratifying the US Constitution, the number required to make it effective. This rugged land of mountains (White Mts.), forests, rivers and lakes, became the largest of the six states of New England. Concord became the capital in 1808, but Portsmouth, Exeter, Hopkintown, Charlestown, DOVER, Hanover and Amherst had their turns as state capital. The family of HENRY TIBBETS (whose wife was ELIZABETH KENNEY) were very close neighbors of Thomas Canney at Dover Neck. Both Henry & Elizabeth were born in 1596, so it is likely true that Elizabeth was a daughter of Sir Thomas. Henry, who became Dover's lone shoemaker, had come from London to America in 1635 on the ship "JANE". Jeremiah, first son of Henry Tibbets, married Mary Canney, daughter of Thomas and Mary Loome Canney. May Tibbetts Jarvis, "Henry Tibbetts of Dover NH and some of his Descendants,1635-1939", has 2 full pages on Thomas Canney of Piscatawa and Dover, and his children: Thomas was sent over by Capt. Mason on or before 1631 from western England . He was Constable in 1648 (p. 32, Pioneers of Me & NH 1623-1660 by Charles Henry Pope) on the Grand Jury 1643 & 1656, petty jury 1651(Libby's Dict. ,Part 2, p. 127). He was a freeman in 1653, had landgrants in 1652-55, andwas Selectman, Dover, 1658 April 19 (Scales' Hist,Dover, p.256). Thomas Canney lived first at Newington on the Piscataqua Shore, and later moved to Dover Neck near the Friends Burial Ground. In 1643 he was one of 12 men of Bloody Point (Newington) who petitioned to have the territory restored to Dover (Mass Archives,3, 438; Scales' History of Dover, p.173). Thomas took a lot from Capt. Wiggin in 1634; Freeman in 1638; first wife not known, but second wife is Jane _____, a big woman who was accused of beating him and daughter Mary and Mary's husband, Jeremy. Old Thomas lost his sight and was excused from "common training." Ref.: NEHGR, 4/1853 et ad passim; "Brackett Genealogy," Herbert I. Brackett (Washington, DC: 1907), p. 49. The LDS Church's unverified Pedigree Resource File(CD 26, Pin 184900) states that Thomas m. Mary Loam (b. ca. 1613) and that Thomas is son of William Kenney/Canney. Also see "Pioneers of Maine and New Hampshire," Charles Henry Pope (Baltimore: Genealogical Pub. Co., 1965), p. 32. Family Notes:Thomas lived in Piscataqua (Portsmouth) in 1631. He bought land in Dover, NH in 1634 from Capt. Wiggins. Living at Bloody Point, he was one of those residents who petitioned about 1642 to be included in the town of Dover, NH. Thomas was a constable in 1648, and a grand juror in 1643 and 1656. His and Mary's lot "butting upon ye high street west, and on ye east nere ye river of Nechechoewannicke, on ye lands of Joseph Austin, south, and uppon ye lands adioyning to ye spring north." They had grants of land in 1652 and 1656; he bought "Thompsons point ," and was then granted 16 acres adjacent "the outmost point turning up to Cochecho.' Thomas sold his 1656 grant, which was bounded on the southeast partly by Nechewanick River, to son-in-law Henry Hobbs in 1661. He married again; his second wife's name was Jane. In Aug 1655.-- "Jane, wife of Thomas Canney presented for beating her son-in-law, Jeremie Tebbets & his wife & her husband." In June 1661--"Tho: Canney of dover desireing the Court to free him from Comon training by reason he hath lost his eiesight, [it] is granted him." In 1671 he removed to York, but went back to Dover where he was last mentioned for intoxication in June 1681.ref: (Part I) Genealogical Items Relating to the Early Settlers of Dover, NH.

According to "Nemes of Stewards & Servants Sent by John Mason Esq to Colony of New Hampshire" Thomas Canney was listed as the first settler on New Hampshire. His birth date was listed as 1611 at Okelhampton. He settled first at Thompson's Point in Dover. Thomas Canney was sent over by Captain Mason on or before 1631. He took a lot of Captain Wiggins in 1634, which in 1647 was bounded thus: - "Butting upon ye high street west, and on ye east nere ye river of Nechechoewannicke, on ye lands of Joseph Austin, south and uppon ye land a dioynin gto ye spring north." He was taxed in 1648 and to 1668, and was alive in 1677. He had grants of land in 1652-56. He was a freeman in 1653. He was a sea captain and some have said he was from northern Scotland and belonged to the Campbell Clan. On 26 June 1661 "The Canney of Dover desireing the Court to free him from Comon training by reason he hath lost his eie sight, [it] is granted him." - Court Records. Although some sources say that the first wife of Thomas Canney is Unknown, later sources list his first marriage to Mary Loome in 1637 and a second marriage to Jane in 1657 Thomas gave his son Joseph real and personal property on December 3, 1669. Later, Thomas Canney III & wife Grace gave land near Thompson's Point, Dover, to his brother Samuel, on August 12, 1703. Thomas had earlier, on February 20, 1640, petitioned with several others the Royal Government of Massachusetts "that we may comfortably enjoy the benefits of His Majesty's laws". Canney's marsh is on the Greenland shore of the Great Bay, adjacent to Canney's creek, and now forms part of the Weeks land. It is so named from Thomas Canney of Dover, who, before 1651, had a grant of nine acres of marsh on the S.W. side of the Great Bay, "bounded on the south running into ye marsh of George Webb's creek, and ye whole marsh in tire till you come out of ye Great Bay at ye north end upon a cove, a neck of land all on ye S.E. side between Geo. Webbs and that. More, two small spots lying by the water side, near to the above marsh, bounded upon ye south west side of ye Great Bay." Thomas and Grace Kenney of Dover, May 4, 1696, conveyed to Leonard Weeks of Greenland "three acres of meadow on the Great Bay, given by Ould Thomas Kenney to his son Thomas, deceased, as appears by a deed to his son Joseph." - Landmarks in Ancient Dover, New Hampshire by Mary P. Thompson In a deed from Thomas Canney to his son-in-law Henry Hobbs, dated July 12, 1661, the grant to Thomas Canney in 1656 was bounded "southeast partly by Eschew River and partly by a certain parcell of Land yt was sometime possessed by Capt. Masons agent." A confirmation of the grant to Thomas Canney was made in 1661 and contains most the precise words of this deed. This might lead to the hasty conclusion that here Ambrose Gibbons built the Great House at Newichawannock. Instead here was the fish weir of Sagamore Rowls, with adjacent land for planting. Rowls conditionally relinquished his right to it in favor of Humphery Chadbourne, May 8, 1646, confirming a "Bargain of Saile" previously made, "my Right of the Ware at the Fales of the great River of Newichawannock known by the Name o Little John's Fales." Here all the servants of Capt. John Mason obtained fish by a former verbal agreement with Sagamore Rowls, called a "Bargain of Saile."' In 1702 Samuel Canney sold these three acres to the father of Ichabod Plaisted and he confirmed the sale by a deed to said Ichabod in 1722. The three acres were at a place called Hobbs Hole, a deep place in the river, into which Thomas Wallingford launched his ships. Wallingford bought the land of Plaisted, more land of Thomas Hobbs and still more of John Stackpole in 1737, till he owned all the present field between the Sligo Road and the river. When Wallingford's widow lived here the cove where the fish weir and the shipyard had been was called "Madam's Cove". All this belongs more properly to the history of Sligo and Vicinity, which I hope to publish. See N. H. Prov. Deeds VI, 172 and Dover's Old Book of records, p. 81 and York Deeds, 1, 6. | CANNEY, Thomas (I15006)

| 1624 | Referring to a dilapidated house in the South End of Porthsmouth, NH The superstitious were therefore very careful about passing such houses by night, especially in dark and stormy weather, when, as many believed in those days, the witches would sally out from the house and, if successful in casting a horse's bridle over the head of any person passing by, would immediately transform the victim into a horse, and after having him shod with iron shoes, would ride the animal till it became tired, and just before daylight would turn it loose in the street. The persons thus afflicted would the next day find prints of the horse nails on their hands.” That's where you get the term hag-ridden Baker says without a pause. His mind is an encyclopedia of the Dark Arts. The term reminds him of a major outbreak of witchcraft in the Piscataqua region in 1656. That’s when Eunice Cole and Jane Walford and William Ham and Thomas Turpin were accused of witchery. | TURPIN, Thomas (I16111)

| 1625 | Regarded as historians as king who consolidated and extended the power of his dynasty, commanded respect on the continent, and dealt more effectively than most of his contemporaries with Viking attacks. He is regarded as one of the most successful West Saxon kings, who laid the foundations for the success of his son, Alfred the Great. On his way back from Rome, Æthelwulf stayed for several months with Charles the Bald, King of the Franks and married Charles' twelve-year-old daughter, Judith. After Æthelwulf's death Æthelbald married his stepmother, to the later horror of Asser, the biographer of his youngest brother, Alfred the Great. Asser denounced the union as being "against God's prohibition and Christian dignity, and also contrary to the practice of all pagans",[1] but the marriage does not appear to have been condemned at the time. Æthelbald and Æthelberht appear to have been on good terms: when Æthelbald died in 860 Æthelberht became king of both Wessex and Kent, and they were never again divided. | AETHELWULF King of Wessex (I7177)

| 1626 | Renald (or Reginald) Fernald, a pivotal figure in early Portsmouth, New Hampshire, was among the first settlers, arriving in 1631. Sent by Captain Mason, he was notably the first surgeon in the area, showcasing his medical expertise which may have originated from his service in the English Navy. Throughout his life, Renald significantly contributed to the community, holding various key positions including Clerk of Court, Recorder of Deeds, Commissioner, Surveyor, and Town Clerk. His judicial involvement was marked as early as 1634 when he served on the grand jury, and he continued his civic duties as a recorder in 1654. Renald's residence on "Doctor's Island" (now known as Pierce's Island) was where he spent his final days, passing away between May 17 and October 7, 1656. His final resting place is believed to be at Point of Graves Cemetery in Portsmouth. In addition to his professional and civic roles, Renald was an active church member from May 25, 1640. His familial legacy includes his wife Joanna, whom some sources suggest he married on January 1, 1619, though her maiden name remains uncertain with suggestions like "Warburton." He was also the father of sons John, Samuel, William, and Thomas, with William Fernald later becoming a lieutenant, safeguarding valuable items on Fernald's Island during the tumultuous times of 1694. | FERNALD, Renald (I9702)

| 1633 | Rev. John Adams married Sarah, daughter of Ste- phen and Mary (Dudley) Sanderson of Waterford, Me. Mary Dudley was descended from Gov. Thomas Dudley and Gov. John Winthrop of Massachusetts. He was known as "Reformation John Adams" and was a noted evangelist, serving many pas- torates in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. He died at Newmarket 30 Sept. 1850. John Adams was born in Newington, New Hampshire on February 14, 1791 to John Adams and Abigail Coleman Adams. As a teenager Adams converted to Methodism and as a young man he became an itinerant preacher. He was appointed elder of the Bristol Conference in Rhode Island in 1810. In 1820 he married Sarah Sanderson of Watertown, Maine. He was known for his emotional appeals and fiery preaching and remained a popular minister through the 1830s. His preaching career spanned the period of the “Second Great Awakening” and primarily took him throughout the New England area. In the 1840s his preaching style and mental instability caused him increasing difficulties. Since his religious message was often unwelcome, Adams turned to preaching about temperance issues and using his singing voice. Adams died in 1851 after a period of illness. | ADAMS, John (I1970)

| 1636 | Richard de Camvill was the son of Gerard de Camvill.[1] In 1200, Gerard de Camvill paid £1,000 to the king [John] for the guardianship of Eustace, daughter and heir of Gilbert Basset, with Eustace's lands and the liberty to dispose of her in marriage to his son Richard; Eustace had married Thomas de Verdon, baron of Alton, county Stafford, and lord of the manor of Heth, county Oxford, at the beginning of the reign of King Richard I.[1] In 1204, Richard de Camville, son of Gerard de Camvill, the husband of Eustace, daughter and heir of Gilbert Basset, lord of Burcester, and widow of Thomas de Verdon, claimed in right of his wife the whole estate of her late husband, which was in the possession of Nicholas de Verdon, brother of Thomas; the court found Nicholas should restore the manors of Farnham, co Bucks, and of Heth, county Oxford, to Eustace, as a reasonable dower.[1] In 1205, Richard de Camvill gave the king 2,000 marks and 10 palfreys for livery of the inheritance of Gilbert de Basset, his wife's late father, excepting the manor of Stoke claimed by the king.[1] At Easter term, 1206, a court case for the right of the church of Keingworth between Richard de Camvill and his wife, Eustace, versus the prior of Keingworth was adjourned sine die because Richard was absent on the king's service.[1] | CAMVILLE, Richard (I11061)

| 1637 | Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke (1130 - 20 April 1176), also known as Richard FitzGilbert and commonly referred to by his nickname "Strongbow," was a notable Anglo-Norman lord with a profound impact on the history of Ireland. Born in Tonbridge, Kent, England, he was the son of Gilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Pembroke, and Isabel de Beaumont. His life and actions played a pivotal role in the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland, marking him as a key figure in both English and Irish history. Strongbow inherited his father's title and estates in 1148 but faced challenges in maintaining his position. Initially deprived of his earldom by King Henry II for siding with King Stephen against the Empress Matilda, he later regained favor and his titles. His life took a significant turn in 1167 when he met Diarmait Mac Murchada, the deposed King of Leinster, who sought his help to recover his kingdom. In exchange for his military support, Mac Murchada offered Strongbow his daughter Aoife in marriage and the succession to Leinster. Despite initial hesitations from King Henry II, Strongbow embarked on the Irish campaign in 1170. His forces, including Welsh archers, played a crucial role in the capture of key Irish towns such as Wexford, Waterford, and Dublin. These victories were instrumental in establishing Norman rule in Ireland. In 1171, following Mac Murchada's death, Strongbow claimed the kingship of Leinster through his marriage to Aoife, further solidifying his influence in the region. Strongbow's relationship with King Henry II was complex. After initial tensions and Henry's intervention in Ireland, Strongbow surrendered some of his conquests to the English king but retained significant lands and power. He supported Henry II in the Revolt of 1173-74 as a reward for his reinstatement in Leinster. His military campaigns in Ireland continued, including a notable defeat in Munster and subsequent victories that re-established his dominance. Richard de Clare's marriage to Aoife MacMurrough produced notable offspring, including Isabel de Clare, who became the 4th Countess of Pembroke. Upon Strongbow's death in 1176, his vast estates and influence passed to his daughter and her husband, William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke. Strongbow's legacy is marked by his military prowess, strategic marriages, and significant role in the Norman conquest of Ireland. His actions had lasting impacts on the political landscape of Ireland and the relationship between England and Ireland. Buried in Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, Strongbow remains a figure of both historical significance and legend, remembered for his role in shaping the course of Irish history. Note that this Richard de Clare born in 1130 is not the same Richard de Clare, Magna Carta Baron, born in 1153. However, they were 1st cousins 1X removed. | DE CLARE, Richard (I7447)

| 1638 | Richard de Clare, 3rd Earl of Hertford (c. 1153-1217), was a significant figure in the late 12th and early 13th centuries in England. Born into the powerful de Clare family, he inherited vast landholdings and titles, including the Earldom of Hertford and lordships in Tonbridge, Kent, and Cardigan, Wales. Richard's life was marked by his involvement in key political events of his time. He was present at the coronations of Kings Richard I and John, and at the homage of King William of Scotland as the English Earl of Huntingdon. His political activities extended beyond mere appearances; he played a crucial role in the baronial opposition to King John. During the turbulent times leading up to the sealing of the Magna Carta in 1215, Richard sided with the barons against King John. His castle at Tonbridge was taken during these conflicts, reflecting his active participation in the baronial cause. Richard was one of the twenty-five sureties of the Magna Carta, a group of barons responsible for ensuring the king's adherence to the charter. This involvement places him at the heart of one of the most significant moments in medieval English history. Richard's marriage to Amice FitzWilliam, the 4th Countess of Gloucester, further elevated his status. This union brought him additional lands and titles, including the estates of Gloucester and the honor of St. Hilary. Their children included Gilbert de Clare, who succeeded him as the 4th Earl of Hertford and 5th Earl of Gloucester, and Maud de Clare, who married Sir William de Braose. Despite his opposition to King John, Richard was excommunicated by the Pope in 1215 along with his son and other barons. This excommunication was part of the wider conflict between the barons and the king, which the Pope supported. Richard de Clare's coat of arms, "Or, three chevronels gules," adopted at the start of the age of heraldry around 1200-1215, became a symbol of his family's enduring legacy in English nobility. Richard de Clare's life and actions, particularly his role in the Magna Carta, highlight the complex interplay of power, loyalty, and rebellion in medieval England. His legacy is not only in his contributions to one of the foundational documents of English law but also in his descendants, who continued to play significant roles in English history. His death in 1217 marked the end of an era, but his impact on English history continued through his family and their extensive influence. | DE CLARE, Knight, 3rd Earl of Hertfordshire; 6th Lord of Clare; 6th Lord of Tonbridge; 5th Lord of Cardigan Richard (I5003)

| 1639 | Richard De Grey was a special favourite of King John and in return for his services in the later years of King John’s life, Richard was awarded the ‘Right of Presentation’ to Heanor church and lands in Leicestershire. During the reign of Henry III, Richard was made Governor of the islands of Guernsey and Jersey in 1226. Then ten years later in 1236, he became Sheriff of Northumberland. Richard and his brother John were among the few Lords and nobles who supported Henry III’s plan to invade the Holy land in another crusade. This earned them the gratitude of the King at a level not normally given to Barons their age and Richard was made Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports. Richard was also made custodian of the castles at Bamburgh and Newcastle-on-Tyne. In 1238 he was made Constable of Kenilworth and in the following year Sheriff of Essex and Hertford and Constable of the Tower of London, where he was responsible for storing money and goods of the order of Cluny for the King. In 1238 Richard founded the Carmelite friary in Aylesford, Kent with friars he brought to England on his return from the Holy Land. | DEGREY, Lord Grey of Codner, Steward of Aquitaine, Constable of Nottingham Castle Richard (I653)

RICHARD DE ROCHEMONT, 78, DIES RICHARD DE ROCHEMONT, 78, DIES; MADE 'MARCH OF TIME' NEWSREELS By WALTER H. WAGGONER Published: August 6, 1982 Richard G. de Rochemont, an award-winning film maker and former executive producer of ''The March of Time,'' the newsreel program, died Wednesday at Hunterdon Medical Center in Flemington, N.J., after a long illness. He was 78 years old and lived in Manhattan and Flemington. Mr. de Rochemont, who spent most of his career as a correspondent and film producer with the Time-Life organization, retired in 1980 as president of Vavin Inc., which he established in 1955 to produce informational films. Mr. de Rochemont started as a newspaper reporter in Boston and New York in the late 1920's, but soon abandoned the printed page for the fast-growing newsreel industry. As executive producer of ''The March of Time,'' he won an Academy Award in 1949 for his production of ''A Chance to Live,'' about Boys Town in Italy. He also received several awards from the Government of France, including commander in the Legion of Honor and commander in the Order of the Merite Nationale. Began in Films in '30 After working for The Boston Advertiser and The New York Sun, Mr. de Rochemont began his film career with the old Fox-Movietone News in 1930.

He was European correspondent and then managing director from 1934 to 1940 and managing editor in New York until 1943. Under his direction in 1941, ''The March of Time'' produced ''The Story of the Vatican,'' the first sanctioned film of the papal state. In 1943 he succeeded his brother, Louis, as executive producer of ''The March of Time.'' He remained in that post until November 1951, when Time Inc. dismantled its film-producing division. After two years as a vice president of J. Walter Thompson, the advertising agency, Mr. de Rochemont established Vavin Inc., producing films for such organizations as the State Department and the Ford Foundation.

| 1641 | Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel and 8th Earl of Surrey (c.1306 - 24 January 1376) was an English nobleman and medieval military leader and distinguished admiral. Arundel was one of the wealthiest nobles, and most loyal noble retainer of the chivalric code that governed the reign of Edward III. FitzAlan died an incredibly wealthy man, despite his various loans to Edward III, leaving £60,000 in cash. He had been as astute in business, as he had in diplomatic politics. He was a cautious man, and wisely saved his estate for future generations. | FITZALAN, Richard (I10324)

|
| 1666 | Robert de Vere (d. 1221), the 3rd Earl of Oxford, was a significant figure in the early 13th-century English nobility and one of the twenty-five barons who enforced the Magna Carta. He was the third surviving son of Earl Aubrey de Vere and Agnes of Essex. Robert succeeded to the title on the death of his elder brother, Aubrey, in October 1214. Before Michaelmas 1207, Robert married Isabel de Bolebec, the aunt and namesake of Earl Aubrey’s wife, who had died childless. This marriage was part of a strategy to retain control over the Bolebec lands, centered on Whitchurch in Buckinghamshire. The de Vere family, being one of the less well-endowed comital families, was keen to maintain their hold on valuable estates. Robert's defection to the rebel side in 1215 is indicative of King John’s ability to alienate his natural allies. His predecessor had been a loyal intimate and administrator of the king. Robert's decision to join the rebellion was likely influenced by his resentment over the high relief charged for his entry into his inheritance and the king's failure to confirm him in the title of earl and in the office of court chamberlain, which the de Veres held by hereditary right. He was present at the baronial muster at Stamford in April 1215 and was named by chronicler Roger Wendover as one of the principal promoters of discontent. He played a key role in the East Anglian group of rebels. Despite a royal letter issued on 23 June 1215, which implicitly recognized him as Earl of Oxford, Robert had already committed to the Twenty Five, a group of barons appointed to enforce the Magna Carta. In March 1216, King John took possession of his castle at Hedingham after a siege. Robert, who was not present, sought the king’s forgiveness but soon defected to Louis of France. He did not re-enter royal allegiance until the general settlement of the rebellion in the autumn of 1217. Robert de Vere died shortly before 25 October 1221 and was buried in Hatfield Broad Oak priory in Essex. A century after his death, a tomb effigy was commissioned in his memory, which was later moved to Hatfield Broad Oak parish church. His widow, Isabel, managed their son Hugh's estates until her death on 3 February 1245. Robert de Vere's life and actions reflect the complex dynamics of loyalty, rebellion, and political maneuvering during King John's reign. His involvement in the Magna Carta and the baronial rebellion against King John highlights his significant role in the struggle for rights and governance in medieval England. | DE VERE, Robert (I10333)
|
| 1667 | Robert distinguished himself with an extraordinarily long reign for the time. His 35-year long reign was marked by his attempts to expand the royal domain by any means, especially by his long struggle to gain the Duchy of Burgundy. His policies earned him many enemies, including three of his sons. He was also known for his difficult marriages: he married three times, annulling two of these and attempting to annul the third, only prevented by the Pope's refusal to accept a third annulment. The pious Robert made few friends and many enemies, including his own sons: Hugh, Henry, and Robert. They turned against their father in a civil war over power and property. Robert was a devout Catholic, hence his sobriquet "the Pious." He was musically inclined, being a composer, chorister, and poet, and made his palace a place of religious seclusion where he conducted the matins and vespers in his royal robes. Robert's reputation for piety also resulted from his lack of toleration for heretics, whom he harshly punished. He is credited with advocating forced conversions of local Jewry. | FRANCE, Robert II of (I7293)

They had at least two daughters together, We are descended on the Laviolette (DeRochemont) side. | EDGE, Robert (I19451)
|
| 1669 | Robert faithfully served his older brother, King Eudes, during Eudes’s reign (888-898), as margrave. Though on Eudes’s death he became one of the most powerful Frankish lords, inheriting all the family lands between the Seine and the Loire rivers, he swore fealty with other magnates to the new king, the Carolingian Charles III the Simple. From 911 onward, his role became more decisive: his defeat of the Northmen at Chartres paved the way for the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, by which Charles assigned them territory in Normandy. Robert stood as godfather at the baptism of Rollo, the Northmen’s chief. Robert’s military success greatly enhanced his prestige, and dissension between him and the king became undisguised. When Charles III imprudently offered preferment exclusively to lords from Lorraine, the Neustrian lords, led by Robert, broke into open revolt. They elected Robert king at Reims in June 922, and the East Frankish king Henry I immediately recognized Robert’s kingship and rights to Lorraine. In a battle near Soissons in 923, Charles’s army was routed, but Robert was killed. His grandson was Hugh Capet, founder of the Capetian dynasty. | FRANCE, Appointed by Odo as the ruler of several counties, including the county of Paris, and abbot in commendam of many abbeys.

| 1670 | Robert FitzWalter, born around 1180 and dying in 1235, was a prominent figure in the baronial opposition against King John of England, playing a significant role in the events leading up to the Magna Carta. He was the son of Walter FitzRobert of Woodham Walter and Maud de Lucy. Robert FitzWalter was the leader of the Magna Charta Barons and their Army, styled "Marshal of the Army of God and the Holy Church. Inheriting his father's estates in 1198, Robert became one of the wealthiest and most powerful English barons. His lands were spread across several counties, including the Barony of Little Dunmow in Essex and the Barony of Benington in Hertfordshire. His marriage to Gunnora de Valoines brought him additional lands and knight's fees. Robert's early life was marked by controversy, particularly his and Saer de Quincy's surrender of the castle of Vaudreuil in Normandy to King Philip of France in 1203. This act, which occurred without resistance, led to accusations of cowardice and collusion with the enemy, though the true motives behind their actions remain unclear. The relationship between Robert and King John deteriorated significantly in 1212. The exact reasons for this are not entirely clear, but chroniclers suggest various causes, including a personal dispute over rights in Binham Priory and a more serious accusation involving John's alleged attempt to seduce Robert's daughter Matilda. Additionally, Robert's ties with the Braose family, who were enemies of John, likely contributed to the tension. Robert and Eustace de Vesci fled England in 1212, with Robert seeking refuge in France. They were reconciled with King John in 1213 as part of a general settlement with the Church, but Robert's relationship with the king remained strained. By 1215, Robert emerged as a leader in the baronial opposition. He was present at the meeting at Bury St Edmunds, where the barons swore to compel John to confirm the coronation charter of Henry I. He played a key role in the rebellion, leading to the sealing of the Magna Carta. Robert was appointed as one of the Twenty Five barons responsible for enforcing the charter's provisions. Following the rejection of the Magna Carta by King John, civil war ensued. Robert was instrumental in maintaining baronial control of London and played a significant role in the ensuing conflict. He was captured at the Battle of Lincoln in 1217 but was released following the conclusion of peace. Robert later participated in the Fifth Crusade and returned to England to witness the final reissue of the Magna Carta in 1225. He died on 9 December 1235 and was buried at Dunmow Priory. His life was marked by his opposition to King John and his significant contribution to the Magna Carta, a cornerstone of English constitutional history. | FITZWALTER, Baron of Little Dunmow Robert (I3150)

| 1672 | Robert Gagnon and Marie Parenteau were early settlers of New France who played a role in populating and developing the young colony. Robert arrived in Quebec around 1655 as a young man in his late 20s, likely seeking new opportunities in the New World. Just two years later, he married Marie Parenteau, who had also recently immigrated from France as one of the filles à marier (marriageable girls) sent to help grow the colony's population. The couple settled on Île d'Orléans near Quebec City, where they raised a large family of at least 9 children between 1659 and 1680. Census records show them steadily expanding their farm over the years, from 15 arpents of cleared land and 7 animals in 1667 to 20 arpents and 6 cattle by 1681. As pioneer farmers, they helped establish a permanent French presence in the St. Lawrence Valley. Their numerous descendants contributed to the growth of the colony, with Robert reportedly having 131 descendants by 1729, just 26 years after his death. Through their family and farm, Robert and Marie played their part in laying the foundations for the future province of Quebec. ---- , 2nd Cousin Of Brothers Mathurin, Jehan And Pierre; Early New France Pioneer | GAGNON, Robert (I12446)

| 1675 | Robert Tucker, born in 1604, played a significant role in the early colonial history of Massachusetts. He initially settled in Weymouth around 1635 and later moved to Gloucester, where he held the office of Town Clerk and served as a Representative to the General Court in 1651 and 1652. It's likely that some of his children were born during his time in Gloucester. After returning to Weymouth, Tucker held several important positions, contributing significantly to the town's governance and development. In 1662, coinciding with the incorporation of Milton, Massachusetts, Tucker relocated there. He purchased about 117 acres on Brush Hill, adjacent to land owned by his son James. This area, known for its beauty, became a prominent residential area in Greater Boston. As Milton's Town Clerk, Tucker's handwriting filled the town's earliest records, indicating his role as the first Town Recorder. He was also a representative in the General Court for Milton in 1669, 1680, and 1681. Robert Tucker was deeply involved in religious affairs, being an active member of the Congregational Church. He and his wife, Elizabeth Allen, raised a large family with all children having Biblical names. They were known for establishing Christian homes. Tucker was instrumental in engaging Rev. Peter Thatcher as the Pastor of the Milton Church, with whom he shared a respectful and affectionate relationship. Robert Tucker passed away on March 11, 1682, leaving behind a legacy of public service and religious commitment. His will, made shortly before his death, bequeathed his new house and adjoining land to his son Manasseh. This house, built around 1681, is one of the oldest in Massachusetts. Tucker's contributions to his community were significant, and his descendants, including notable figures in various fields, have continued to impact the country. His death was a notable event in the town, and he was remembered as a respected and influential figure in both the town and the church. He and Elizabeth were parents to 11 children and had 18 grandchildren at the time of his death. His character, education, and handwriting were noted for reflecting his status as a gentleman well-versed in administrative matters. | TUCKER, Robert (I2273)

| 1676 | Robert was son of King Robert II of France and brother of Henry I of France.[1] In 1025, with the death of his eldest brother Hugh Magnus, he and Henry rebelled against their father and defeated him, forcing him back to Paris. In 1031, after the death of his father the king, Robert participated in a rebellion against his brother, in which he was supported by his mother, Constance of Arles. Peace was only achieved when Robert was given Burgundy (1032). Throughout his reign, he was little more than a robber baron who had no control over his vassals, whose estates he often plundered, especially those of the Church. He seized the income of the diocese of Autun and the wine of the canons of Dijon. He burgled the abbey of St-Germain at Auxerre. In 1048, he repudiated his wife, Helie of Semur followed by the assassination of her brother Joceran and the murdering her father, his father-in-law, Lord Dalmace I of Semur, with his own hands. In that same year, the Bishop of Langres, Harduoin, refused to dedicate the church of Sennecy so as not "to be exposed to the violence of the duke." His first son, Hugh, died in battle at a young age and his second son, Henry, also predeceased him. He was succeeded by Henry's eldest son, his grandson, Hugh | ROBERT, I (I7519)

| 1677 | Robert Williams who resided in West Somerton, County, Norfolk, England about 1600 and probably prior to that time was the grandfather of Robert Williams (of Roxbury), immigrant ancestor who settled in 1637 at Roxbury, Massachusetts. Robert Williams of Somerton although living in England was claimed by tradition to be of Welsh descent rather than English. He was the earliest ancestor bearing the Williams name about whom anything definite is known. In 1600 and 1602 as church warden he was in charge of parish accounts and was responsible for the property of the church. Duplicate bills bearing his signature; sent to the Bishop of orwich were found although the original records of the church of West Somerton appearedto be no longer in existence. In his will he called himself "husbandman" (a farmer) and names his tow children, bequeathing to his daughter Bridget and her husband all his houses in West Somerton providing they pay to his son Stephen, twelve pounds, ten shillings. The death of Robert Williams occurred between February 12 1606, the date of his will and March 28, 1609 when it was proved and recorded in the Archdeaconry Court of Norwich. | WILLIAMS, Robert (I9713)

| 1678 | Robert Williams, born in 1608 in Great Yarmouth, England, to Stephen and Margaret (Cooke) Williams, led a life that bridged the old world of England and the new world of America. Baptized on December 11, 1608, in St. Nicholas Parish, his early years were marked by a move to Norwich at the age of 15, where he apprenticed as a cordwainer, honing his skills in shoemaking. In 1630, Robert became a freeman of Norwich, and by 1635, he had risen to the position of warden of his Guild. His life took a significant turn in 1637 when he decided to leave England. He boarded the ship "Rose" and arrived in Boston on June 20, 1637. This move to America marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life. Once in Roxbury, Massachusetts, Robert quickly established himself as a respected member of the community. He became a freeman of Roxbury on May 2, 1638, and was actively involved in local governance, serving as a selectman from 1647 to 1653. He also joined the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1644, indicating his involvement in the local militia. Robert's personal life was intertwined with Elizabeth Stalham, whom he had married in England. Elizabeth, who was older than Robert and came from a well-to-do family, initially hesitated to emigrate. However, according to family tradition, a dream predicting that she would be the mother of a line of ministers convinced her to join her husband in the New World. The couple had four children, including a daughter, Elizabeth, who later married Richard Cutter. The Williams family home, built in 1644 in Roxbury, became a significant landmark, housing five generations of the family until its demolition in 1794. This homestead was a symbol of the family's stability and presence in the Roxbury community. Robert was known for his support of education, contributing to the first free school in America. He believed in the importance of education for the community's future, a value that was reflected in his actions. Robert Williams passed away in 1693, leaving behind a legacy of community involvement and commitment to education. His descendants included notable figures in American history, such as William Williams, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and others who made significant contributions in various fields. His life story, from his beginnings in England to his influential role in early American society, showcases the journey of an individual who sought new opportunities and contributed to the shaping of a new nation. | WILLIAMS, Robert (I4033)

| 1679 | Roch Manitouabeouich, born around 1600, was a significant figure in the early interactions between Indigenous peoples and French colonists in New France. His name, meaning "one who resembles the spirit or creator in appearance or image," reflects the rich spiritual traditions of his people. Roch was a member of the Algonquin nation, though some sources have suggested possible Huron or Ojibwa connections. This uncertainty highlights the complex nature of Indigenous identities and interactions in the region during this period. What is clear is that Roch played an important role as a cultural intermediary. For many years, Roch served as a guide and interpreter for Olivier Le Tardif, a prominent French colonist. In this capacity, he assisted in establishing fur trading posts for Samuel de Champlain's company, contributing significantly to the economic and diplomatic relationships between the French and Indigenous peoples. Roch's openness to cross-cultural exchange is evident in his embrace of Catholicism. He was baptized with the Christian name "Roch," though the exact date and circumstances of his baptism are unknown. This spiritual journey reflects the complex religious landscape of New France, where Indigenous and Christian beliefs often intertwined. Roch was married to Outchibahabanoukoueou, who was likely of Abenaki origin. They had at least two children: Marie (originally named Ouchistaouichkoue) and a son baptized as François. In a momentous decision that would have far-reaching consequences, Roch and his wife entrusted their daughter to Olivier Le Tardif sometime between 1636 and 1639. This act, which led to Marie's French education and eventual marriage to Martin Prévost, demonstrates the intricate personal relationships that sometimes bridged cultural divides in New France. After settling his daughter with Le Tardif, Roch and his wife are believed to have lived with a Huron band at Sillery, a Christian mission near Quebec City. This move suggests Roch's continued navigation of both Indigenous and French colonial worlds. The exact date of Roch's death is uncertain, with some sources suggesting 1644, though this is not definitively established. Regardless of when he passed, Roch Manitouabeouich's life story encapsulates the complex interactions, cultural exchanges, and personal decisions that characterized Indigenous-French relations in 17th century New France. His legacy, carried on through his daughter Marie and her descendants, continues to be a part of Canada's rich multicultural heritage. | MANITOUABEWICH, Roch (I17661)

| 1680 | Roger Bigod, 2nd Earl of Norfolk (c. 1144/1150 - 1221), was a significant figure in the baronial opposition against King John of England and a key player in the events surrounding the Magna Carta. Born to Hugh Bigod, 1st Earl of Norfolk, and Juliana de Vere, Roger inherited a complex legacy of loyalty and rebellion. Roger's early life was marked by his father's involvement in the Revolt of 1173-74 against King Henry II. Unlike his father, Roger remained loyal to the king, fighting on the royalist side at the Battle of Fornham in 1173. This loyalty was rewarded when King Richard I confirmed him in his earldom and other honors in 1189, and later appointed him as an ambassador to France. During most of King John's reign, Roger was frequently with the king or on royal business. However, his relationship with John soured over time, leading him to join the baronial party that obtained John's assent to the Magna Carta. Roger and his son Hugh were among the twenty-five barons who were to ensure the king's adherence to the terms of that document. The pair were excommunicated by the pope in December 1215, and in 1216, John laid siege to Roger's seat of Framlingham Castle. The castle surrendered, most likely for political expediency, but Roger's loss was temporary as he made peace with the regents of John's son, Henry III, in 1217. Roger married Ida de Tosny, and they had several children, including Hugh Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk. Roger's marriage to Ida, a former mistress of Henry II, further complicated his ties to the royal family. In his later years, Roger seems to have retired from public life. He died in 1221, leaving behind a legacy as a respected figure whose life was intertwined with significant historical events. His involvement in the Magna Carta and the baronial rebellion against King John highlights his significant role in the struggle for rights and governance in medieval England. | LE BIGOD, Sir Knight Roger (I7438)

| 1694 | Saer de Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester (c. 1155 - 3 November 1219), was a prominent figure in the baronial rebellion against King John of England and a major player in both the Scottish and English political landscapes during the late 12th and early 13th centuries. Born to Robert de Quincy and Orabilis, heiress of the lordship of Leuchars, Saer's early life was largely spent in Scotland, where he witnessed several charters of the Scottish kings. His rise to prominence in England was partly due to his marriage to Margaret, daughter of Robert de Beaumont, Earl of Leicester. Upon the death of his brother-in-law, the Earl of Leicester, in 1204, Saer and his wife became co-heirs to the vast earldom, leading to his eventual appointment as the Earl of Winchester in 1207. Saer de Quincy's military and diplomatic career was notable. He served Richard the Lionheart in 1198 and was with John in Normandy in 1202 and 1203. He and Robert FitzWalter jointly held the strategic Norman stronghold of Vaudreuil but surrendered it to King Philip of France in 1203, a decision that led to their imprisonment and a temporary fall from King John's favor. Despite his initial loyalty to the crown, Saer de Quincy became a key figure in the baronial opposition to King John. In 1215, he joined the rebel ranks at Brackley and marched to London, playing a significant role in the negotiations that led to the Magna Carta. He was one of the 25 barons appointed to ensure the king's adherence to the charter. Following the outbreak of the First Barons' War, Saer continued his opposition to John, even after the king's death, supporting the French Prince Louis's claim to the English throne. He was captured in the Second Battle of Lincoln in 1217 but later reconciled with the crown under Henry III. In 1219, Saer de Quincy embarked on the Fifth Crusade, joining the siege of Damietta in Egypt. He fell ill soon after his arrival and died in November of that year. His body was buried in Acre, and his heart was returned to England for interment at Garendon Abbey. Saer de Quincy's career illustrates the complex interplay of property disputes, political allegiance, and international relations during a turbulent period in medieval history. His involvement in the Magna Carta and the baronial rebellion against King John marks him as a significant figure in the struggle for rights and governance in medieval England.. | DE QUINCY, Saer (I7254)

| 1700 | Saint Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury, also known as Saint Elgiva was the first wife of Edmund I (r. 939-946), by whom she bore two future kings, Eadwig (r. 955-959) and Edgar (r. 959-975). Like her mother Wynflaed, she had a close and special if unknown connection with the royal nunnery of Shaftesbury (Dorset), founded by King Alfred, where she was buried and soon revered as a saint. According to a pre-Conquest tradition from Winchester, her feast day is 18 May. According to William of Malmesbury, Ælfgifu would secretly redeem those who were publicly condemned to severe judgment, she gave expensive clothes to the poor, and she also had prophetic powers as well as powers of healing. | AELFGIFU (I7278)
