1703 Samuel and Mary moved up the Salmon Falls River to the new settlement of Lebanon, York Co. ME in about 1770 where Samuel cleared land and built a log cabin. His parents and siblings located there also. Samuel is mentions in the "Soldiers of the American Revolution of Lebanon" but it seems he didn't serve. CORSON, Samuel (I3031)
 
1704 Samuel Bass, came to New England with his wife Anne, and probably one or two young children, among the first settlers of the Massachusetts colony about 1630, or soon after, and settled in Roxbury. Their names were enrolled among the earliest members of the first church in that town, which was gathered as early as 1632, where they may be seen at this day.

He was admitted freeman, May 14, 1634, and lived in Roxburv until about 1610, when he removed his family to Braintree, Massachusetts. He was admitted a member of the “First Congregational Church,” having been dismissed and recommended to them from the church in Roxbury.

He was chosen and ordained the first deacon of the church in Braintree, which office he held for about fifty years.

Deacon Samuel Bass was a man of strong and vigorous mind and was one of the leading men of the town for many years. He departed this life upon the thirteenth day of Sept., 1694, and was the father and grandfather, and great-grandfather of one hundred and sixty-two children before he died. He was buried at Hancock Cemetery, Quincy, Massachusetts. His Memorial has a photo of his headstone, a brief biography with speculation about his parents and links to those of his wife and children.

1705 Samuel Brackett was the son of Thomas Brackett and Mary Mitton. After his parents' death when he was around six years old, he was taken captive by Indians. Upon his redemption from captivity by his grandfather, he went to live with his aunt Martha in Kittery, Maine. He married Elizabeth Botts on November 20, 1694 BRACKETT, Samuel (I8822)
 
1706 Samuel Shorey and Mary were fined 10 shillings each by the York County Grand Jury for fornication. First child was born too soon after their marriage (Mary born in September) Family: SHOREY, Samuel / RHODES, Mary Thompson (F835)
 
1707 Samuel, along with Bartholomew Stevenson, Peter Mason Jr. and Stephen Jenkins were charged in September 1701 with aiding in the escape of Grace Hall, daughter of the Deacon John Hall, after being charged with bastardy (she was 27 years old at the time). Samuel was witness against Joanna Potts, his mother-in-law, for selling drink in 1707.
He owned 20 acres of land in 1719, presumably on his father Cornelius' grant on Fresh Neck Creek in Dover, left to him by his father. In 1719 Richard Waldren filed a suit in court against a dozen people "Pretenders to Land at Cocheco Point", including "Samuel Cosen. Planter." The suit dragged on for nine years and was settled in 1728 by dividing the land in question and giving half to Waldren. It appears that Samuel left his father's grant early in the 1720's but not because he was dispossessed. During the time of the lawsuit Samuel held a homestead in the Rollingsford (or Somerswirth) section of Dover. He was granted land in 1722 in Rochester, receiving a "thirdly third share," or one share to be divided equally between three poeple. He sold this property in 1725, but never lived on it, as the first permanent settler didn't move into Rochester until 1728.
Samuel's land was noted in Somersworth 9 March 1727 in a plan to lay out a highway from Salmon Falls to Cocheco, passing between Samuel Corson's land and the Wallingford's land.
Samuel "Cason" along with other inhabitants at the Somersworth section of Dover, signed a petition 17 April 1729 asking to separate Somersworth from Dover, stating: "the Dwellin places of your Ptitioners are at a great distance from the house of the Publick Worship of God in the Town of Dover where your petitioners live, by which their attendance thereon is rendered very difficult....It is humbly prayed by them that your Excellency .... sett them off as a Parish .... amongst themselves."
Samuel is believed to have moved into Berwick, Maine in the early 1730s, probably shortly after 17 March 1729/30 when he and his wife sold their homestead to Thomas Wallingford. The earliest mention of his name in York County was "Samnuel Corson of Berwick" among a group of men who bought the mill privileges at Great Falls in Somersworth in 1737. On 6 June 1739, Samuel Colson of Berwick, labourer, sold his property to Samuel Lord for 50 pounds. By 1742 Samuel was on the Rochester tax list, and there is no evidence he lived in Rochester before that date.
Samuel signed his "O" mark 19 Sept. 1753 in a deposition with two other men stating the "mark and dry pitch pine standing .... exact location then given .... seen the Letters thereon and have known it to be the reputed Bounds of Dover ... for thirty years past and upwards and further saith not." He received a summons issued to him in February 1756 for defaulting on a note on behalf of Job Clememnts.Judgement was obtained in Portsmouth by Clememnts for the balance plus two pounds, 18 shillings and 6 pence in costs.
He lived probably to 1764, and had moved over the Rochester line into Somersworth. In the First Annual Report of the City of Sommerworth a new road "over ye rocky hills" is described as "running ... to the old way below Samuel Corson's house."
By this time there were two other Samuel Corsons - one Samuel's son removed to Cherryfield, Maine, and his grandson Samuel (son of Zebulon) and in his 30s. His grandson was in the list of inhabitants of Lebanon, ME in 1760 and had purchased the land he was living on by 1766.

1709 Sancho was the eldest son of King Alfonso VII of León and Castile and Berengaria of Barcelona.[6] He was endowed with the "Kingdom of Nájera" in 1152, and according to Carolina Carl never appears in documents as "king of Nájera".[7] His father's will partitioned the kingdom between his two sons: Sancho inherited the kingdoms of Castile and Toledo, and Ferdinand inherited León.[8] The two brothers had just signed a treaty when Sancho suddenly died in the summer of 1158, being buried at Toledo. CASTILE, Sancho III of (I10404)

1711 Sarah Frances Adams was born in Newburyport, MA on August 9, 1840 (date according to her gravestone), the oldest child of Joseph Adams, a blacksmith, and Sarah Nutter. She had 5 younger sisters and 1 brother, from 2 to12 years younger than her.

She appears on the 1850 Census living in Newburyport with her parents, siblings, and her 24-year-old aunt (her mother's sister).
She appears on the 1855 MA census living with her family, still in Newburyport.

On 20 Mar 1867, Sarah married Frederick William deRochemont of Newington. They were married in Middleton, MA.

By the 1870 Census, Sarah was living in Newington with her husband, their 2 year old son Harry and 8 month old daughter Amelia. Frederick is listed as working as a fire insurance agent.

I don't know if they moved into the house as soon as they were married, but at least later in their marriage they lived in a house on Fox Point Rd.

By the 1880, 3 more children had been born, Windelina, Frederick W. , and Joseph, for a total of 5 children in the family. Harry, at age 12, is the only child listed as attending school. Amelia at age 10 was not. The other children were all too young still. On this Census, Frederick is listed as a farmer. Frederick's younger brother Herbert and his wife Olive lived next door with their 2 year old daughter Charlotte.

Sarah's mother died in 1892. She is buried in the Newington Cemetery.

By 1900, Fred and Sarah were near 60. Harry was married by this time and living with them along with his wife Annie and their 3 children Mabel (4), John (2), and Lawrence (1). Frederick Jr. was still living with them. Sarah's father Joseph C and her sister Annetta had also come to live with them.

In 1903, the Portsmouth Herald noted on May 7 that "Mrs. S. F. deRochemont returned on Tuesday from a visit to Newburyport where she had been the guest of her father J.C. Adams." So by this time, it appears that Joseph had returned to live in Newburyport.

Sarah's father died in 1907. He is buried beside his wife in Newington.

The Portsmouth Daily Herald, on 12 Apr 1909, reported on Sarah's husband's 68th birthday party. It was Easter and his children and grandchildren came to his home to help him celebrate. The article says that he had suffered an accident early in life and had been severely crippled,. but had always played an active role in the community nonetheless. It says Fred was born in Newington in 1841 in the house that his brother was living in when the article was written.

In the 1910 Census Sarah and Fred were living with their son Harry (now 42) and his 6 children, ranging in age from 14-6. Harry's wife Annie had died in childbirth in 1906 and the baby died shortly after. There is also an Elizabeth Haughey, age 24 living with them. The Census says she was from Ireland and is their servant. Fred is still listed as a farmer and Harry as a watchman for the railroad.

In the 1920 Census their were just 2 grandchildren still living with Sarah and Fred, Mabel and Orville. Mabel was 23 by now and working as a teacher.

Fred died in 1926. Sarah died on 10 Dec 1928. Her death certificate says she died of chronic myocarditis. They are buried together in the Newington cemetery.

General Notes:
Son Harry's marriage record says that Sarah was born in Newburyport. Son Frederick's says she was born in Portsmouth. It was more than likely Portsmouth since the Adams genealogy shows the first two children, Sarah and Anetta as being born in Portsmouth. The 1840 census shows a Joseph Adams in Portsmouth, none in Newburyport and the 1850 census shows Joseph C Adams in Newburyport. Sarah was called "Little Grammie" as she was a tiny woman.

She turned over to a guardian in 1791 in Peterborough, Hillsborough, NH.77402 Parents: Thomas TEMPLE and Sarah PARKER.
Spouse: Moses TUCKER. 
TEMPLE, Sarah (I2267)
 
1714 Sarah's father, Henry Travers, sometimes spelled Travis, originated from London, England. He arrived on the "Mary and John" in early 1634. While some secondary sources claim Irish ancestry, there is no concrete evidence supporting this. The "Mary and John" passengers initially settled in Agawam, now Ipswich, Massachusetts, and in 1635, many, including Henry Travers, relocated to Newbury. There, he received six acres of salt marsh in the Great Marsh and a half-acre house lot near the First Landing Place, along with four acres in another part of Newbury. He was listed as one of the 91 freeholders of Newbury on December 7, 1642.

Henry's wife, Bridget, might have been related to Richard Fitts of Ipswich and Newbury, Massachusetts. Richard Fitts' will, dated December 2, 1672, mentions his sister "Travisse's" daughter. The term 'sister' could imply a sister-in-law, suggesting Richard Fitts might have been a brother-in-law or a step-relation. After Henry's departure, Bridget remarried Richard Window of Gloucester, Massachusetts, on March 30, 1659. There's speculation that Bridget might have been previously married to a Goodwin before marrying Henry Travers. It's also possible that Henry had a wife in England before coming to America, but this remains uncertain.

In a court held at Ipswich, Massachusetts, on September 29, 1646, John Emery was fined for his misconduct with Henry Traverse's wife, Bridget Traverse, who was also fined for her misdemeanors.

Henry Travers was a seaman. In 1648, he traveled to London and never returned, leaving behind his wife Bridget, daughter Sarah, and son James. Before his departure, he wrote a will, leaving various items to his daughter Sara, including livestock and household goods.

In 1655, Bridget petitioned the court regarding the estate, indicating that Henry had left seven years prior and she had only heard from him once, five years after his departure. It seems he chose to stay in England, abandoning his family in America. His estate was inventoried on July 15, 1659, posthumously referring to him as "late of Newbury, deceased."

At a court session in Ipswich on September 27, 1659, Henry Travers' will was presented but not proved. Administration was granted to his widow, Bridget, now Richard Window's wife. The court ordered the distribution of the estate among the family members.

After marrying Richard Window in 1659, Bridget moved to Gloucester. Richard's will, dated May 2, 1665, and proved on June 27, 1665, mentions the Travers children, particularly concerning James Travis's inheritance.

Bridget was widowed again and had passed away by November 9, 1673, when her estate was in probate. Administration was granted to Nicholas Wallingford and James Travis. An inventory conducted on October 9, 1673, totaled 11 pounds, 12 shillings, and 3 pence. Testimonies regarding her will were given, detailing the distribution of her estate among her children and grandchildren. Elizabeth Worcester, who later married Onesiphorus Marsh, Sarah Travers' third husband, was involved in the testimony.

1717 Scotland's only royal saint, Margaret was the mother of three kings of Scotland (or four, if one includes Edmund of Scotland, who ruled Scotland with his uncle, Donald III) and of a queen consort of England. According to the Life of Saint Margaret, attributed to Turgot of Durham, she died at Edinburgh Castle in 1093, just days after receiving the news of her husband's death in battle. In 1250 she was canonized by Pope Innocent IV, and her remains were reinterred in a shrine at Dunfermline Abbey. Her relics were dispersed after the Scottish Reformation and subsequently lost. SCOTLAND, Margaret of (I3)

1754 She was the great-granddaughter of the first Norman earl, William and his Flemish wife Gundred.[2] When her father died in the Holy Land c.1148 she inherited the earldom of Surrey and was married to William of Blois, the younger son of King Stephen, who became Earl in her right.[1][2] The marriage occurred at a critical moment in The Anarchy as part of the king's attempt to control the de Warenne lands. The couple did not have any children and after William's death in 1159, King Henry II's brother, William X, Count of Poitou sought her hand in 1162/3, but Thomas Becket refused a dispensation from affinity on the grounds of consanguinity. In April 1164, the countess married Hamelin of Anjou, a natural half-brother of King Henry, who became jure uxoris Earl of Surrey.

1759 Shortly after his proclamation as king, he had to face several military threats. King Olaf III Guthfrithson conquered Northumbria and invaded the Midlands; when Olaf died in 942, Edmund reconquered the Midlands.[2] In 943, Edmund became the god-father of King Olaf of York. In 944, Edmund was successful in reconquering Northumbria.[3] In the same year, his ally Olaf of York lost his throne and left for Dublin in Ireland. Olaf became the king of Dublin as Amlaíb Cuarán and continued to be allied to his god-father. In 945, Edmund conquered Strathclyde but ceded the territory to King Malcolm I of Scotland in exchange for a treaty of mutual military support.[3] Edmund thus established a policy of safe borders and peaceful relationships with Scotland. During his reign, the revival of monasteries in England began.

Died at age 25 in a skirmish while attempting to defend his steward from a thief named Leofa.

1761 Sir John de Morteyn, born in 1274 in Tillsworth, Bedfordshire, England, was a knight and a trusted servant of the English crown during the reigns of Edward I, Edward II, and Edward III. His life was marked by significant military and civic contributions.

John de Morteyn's military service began at the age of 22 when he was summoned on 1 March 1296 to perform military service against the Scots, mustering at Newcastle upon Tyne. He participated in the campaign against Berwick-upon-Tweed, where Edward I ordered his army to take the town, resulting in the massacre of 7,500 people.

Inheriting the manor of Marston Morteyn after his father's death in 1296, John became a significant landholder. He was again summoned for military service against the Scots on 24 June 1301, mustering at Berwick-upon-Tweed.

John was knighted alongside Edward, the Prince of Wales, and about 300 others, including notable figures like Piers Gaveston and Roger Mortimer, on 22 May 1306 at Westminster. This event was described as the greatest since King Arthur's coronation at Caerleon.

On 20 January 1307, Sir John de Morteyn was returned as Knight of the Shire for Bedford to Parliament at Carlisle. He was also appointed a Commissioner of the Peace for Bedford.

In 1324, John was appointed Constable of Rockingham Castle, Northamptonshire, and given the stewardship of the forest of Rockingham. His duties included overseeing royal grants, assisting in the execution of traitors, keeping state prisoners in custody, paying garrisoned soldiers, and defending the possessions of the Church.

John de Morteyn was involved in various commissions of array, responsible for raising soldiers for the defense of the realm, especially against threats from France. He was also involved in legal matters as a Commissioner of oyer and terminer, investigating and determining court cases.

In his later years, John de Morteyn faced a conspiracy by the Augustinian prior of Dunstable, John of Cheddington, who accused him of supporting Henry, Earl of Lancaster. John successfully defended himself, and the prior was imprisoned.

Sir John de Morteyn passed away in 1346 at about the age of 72 in Bedfordshire, England. 
DE MORTEYN, Sir John (I17571)
 
1762 Sir John Gifford, born around 1301, was a prominent figure in 14th-century England. He was the son of Sir John Gifford of Twyford, Buckinghamshire, and his wife, Alexandra.

John Gifford's life was characterized by his active involvement in military and political affairs of the time. He inherited the family estates upon his father's death, which included Twyford in Buckinghamshire, amongst others. This inheritance not only brought wealth but also responsibilities and opportunities for greater involvement in the affairs of the realm.

In 1338, during the Hundred Years' War between England and France, Gifford was tasked with assembling a military contingent from Buckinghamshire. This contingent included 10 men-at-arms, 20 armed men, and 40 archers, a significant force indicating his standing and influence in the county. His military role continued as he accompanied King Edward III to France, participating in the King's division at the Battle of Crécy in 1346, a pivotal battle where the English longbowmen played a decisive role.

Gifford's service extended beyond the battlefield. He was appointed as a commissioner of the peace in Buckinghamshire in 1349, 1351, and 1361, a role that involved maintaining law and order in the county. His responsibilities grew as he was named one of the commissioners of array in Buckinghamshire for the French War on 14 March 1360. This position involved organizing and equipping troops for military service, a crucial task during the ongoing conflict with France.

In 1368, Gifford, alongside Reynold de Grey of Ruthyn, was again appointed as a commissioner of array. This repeated appointment underscores his continued importance in military matters and his reliability as a royal servant.

Sir John Gifford's life reflects the typical career of a knight in medieval England, where military service, land management, and local governance were intertwined. His involvement in key historical events like the Battle of Crécy and his various administrative roles highlight his significance in the political and military landscape of 14th-century England.

1763 Sir John Grey was killed in the Second Battle of St Albans in 1461, fighting for the Lancastrian cause.[1] His widow, Dame Elizabeth Grey, later secretly married Edward IV who was the successful Yorkist claimant to the throne. GREY, Sir John (I9212)
 
1764 SIR JOHN MARMION, son and heir. In 1278 he was distrained for knighthood as holding a knight's fee in Sussex. On 2 November 1281 he was pardoned for a sum taken by his father from the Sheriff of Yorkshire during the disturbances of 1265. In 1284-85 he was returned as holding the manor of Quinton, co. Gloucester, of Philip Marmion (of Tamworth), who held it of the Earl of Leicester, who held in chief. On 16 April 1291 he was summoned for military service, to be at Norham on 3 June. On 5 May 1292 he had a grant to him and his heirs of free warren in his demesne lands in East Tanfield, Carthorpe, (Little) Langton, co. York, Winteringham, co. Lincoln, Luddington, Northants, Nether and Over Quinton, co. Gloucester, and Berwick, Winton and Pikehay, Sussex. On 8 June 1294 he was summoned to attend the King wherever he might be on urgent affairs, and on 14 June was excepted from service in Gascony. On 16 December 1295 he was summoned to be at Newcastle on 1 March following for military service against the Scots. In 1296 he did homage to the Archbishop of York for tenements in Ripon. On 26 January 1296/7 he was summoned to attend the Parliament at Salisbury on 24 February and on 15 May 1297 was summoned to be in London on 7 July for service overseas with the King. In the same year and in 1298, 1300-1, and 1306 he was again summoned for service against the Scots, and in 1303 was ordered to place himself with his forces under the command of the King's lieutenant in Scotland. He was elected a Knight of the shire for co. Lincoln, to be present at the Parliament at York on 25 May 1298. On 18 March 1298/9 he, as lord of Tanfield, agreed with Fountains Abbey to abide by the charter of Avice his grandmother with respect to the property held of him by the monks in Melmerby. In 1303 he was returned as having held of Robert de Tateshale 8 carucates in Hunmanby by the service of one knight's fee. On 2 July 1304 he agreed to alienate in mortmain to the Abbot and convent of Peterborough the manor of Lullyngton (Lutton), which he held by the service of 1/2 knight's fee. In the same year a perambulation was ordered to be made between his land and that of Alice de Lacy in Lincolnshire. On 23 July 1310 he had licence to alienate in mortmain a messuage, two bovates of land, and 44s. 4d. rent in Winteringharn and Beelsby for the maintenance of a chaplain to celebrate divine service daily in the chapel of St. Nicholas, Winteringham, for the souls of the grantor, Isabel his wife, of Alexander Peck, and their ancestors and successors. and 1322 he was again summoned for service against the Scots. He was summoned to Parliament from 23 September 1313 to 2 May 1322, by writs directed Johanni Marmyon or de Marmioun, whereby he is held to have become LORD MARMION. On 8 February 1313/4 John Marmion the elder, John Marmion the younger, and others were the subject of complaint by the Abbot of Fountains for various trespasses and assaults. On 24 September 1314 he was granted a licence to crenellate his dwelling-place called 'Lermitage' in his wood of Tanfield, and on 26 September 1317 a weekly market and a yearly fair at his manor of Winteringham, with free warren in his demesne lands in Willingham.

He married Isabel (l). He died before 7 May 1322. [Complete Peerage VIII:518-20, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(l) This appears from his foundation of the Winteringham chantry, and it is possible that she was the daughter of Alexander Peck, but for this there is no sufficient evidence available. 1622

1765 Sir Robert de Ros (c. 1182-1226/7) was an influential Anglo-Norman feudal baron, soldier, and administrator, remembered primarily as one of the twenty-five barons appointed to enforce the observance of the Magna Carta by King John of England. Born to Everard de Ros and Roese Trussebut, Robert inherited significant estates, including the baronies of Helmsley in Yorkshire and Wark on Tweed in Northumberland.

Robert's early life was marked by the death of his father, leaving his lands in the custody of the Chief Justiciar of England, Ranulf de Glanvill. In 1191, he married Isabella, an illegitimate daughter of King William I of Scotland, and inherited a third of the Trussebut estates, including lands in Normandy, where he became hereditary bailiff and castellan.

Throughout his career, Robert had a complex relationship with the English crown. He initially supported King Richard I and later King John, witnessing royal charters and participating in diplomatic and military missions. However, tensions with King John emerged around 1205, leading to the seizure of his lands and the taking of his son as a hostage. Despite these challenges, Robert regained favor and was sent on a diplomatic mission to Scotland in 1209.

In 1212, Robert entered a monastic order, but he returned to secular life the following year, serving as sheriff of Cumberland and participating in the reconciliation between King John and William de Forz. Despite his initial loyalty to John, Robert joined the baronial rebellion in 1215, attending the baronial muster at Stamford and being appointed to control Yorkshire and possibly Northumberland.

Robert's participation in the rebellion led to his excommunication by the Pope and the forfeiture of his lands. He remained on the rebel side even after King John's death in 1216, supporting Prince Louis of France. Eventually, he submitted to the new government and regained most of his lands.

In his later years, Robert witnessed the reissue of the Magna Carta in 1225 and re-entered a monastic order, possibly the Knights Templar, by the end of 1226. He died in 1226 or 1227 and was buried in the Temple Church in London.

Robert de Ros's life reflects the turbulent political landscape of early 13th-century England. His involvement in the Magna Carta and the baronial rebellion against King John highlights his significant role in the struggle for rights and governance during this period.

1766 Sir Thomas Gresley, a name synonymous with wealth and influence in 14th-century Derbyshire, stood as a testament to the power of land and lineage. He was the fortunate heir to the estates of his paternal grandfather, Sir John, and the extensive properties of his mother, Thomasina Wastneys. The Gresleys, originally centered around Drakelow, Linton, Lullington, and Gresley in Derbyshire, expanded their reach through strategic marriages into the Wastneys family, acquiring manors across Staffordshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Yorkshire.

Before his death around 1395, Sir John Gresley entrusted all his estates to his grandson. Thomasina, passing away by July 1405, left her land to Sir Thomas, who then transferred it to a group of distinguished feoffees, including Thomas Langley, the Bishop of Durham and Chancellor of England. Sir Thomas's wife, Margaret, though not an heiress, significantly boosted his annual income.

Sir Thomas's wealth continued to grow, and by 1436, he was taxed on landed revenues of £200 a year, a conservative estimate given that his Derbyshire property alone was valued at £65 per annum in 1412. He held the right of presentation to the Augustinian priory at Gresley and the parish church of Dalbury in Derbyshire.

Little is known of Gresley's early life, which was relatively uneventful. However, he later became embroiled in a bitter dispute with the abbot of Burton on Trent, leading to legal interventions and mutual sureties for good behavior. Gresley's influence extended to his return to six Parliaments as a knight of the shire and his frequent appointments to royal commissions. He was a sought-after feoffee-to-uses and arbitrator in private disputes, despite his own disdain for the law.

Gresley's social standing was further enhanced by the marriages he arranged for his children. His elder son married Elizabeth Clarell, his daughters married into prominent families, and his son Sir John prospered under the patronage of John, Duke of Bedford.

Sir Thomas's service to the Crown included an annuity from the Duchy of Lancaster and participation in the 1415 French expedition. He also held administrative roles on the duchy's estates and faced occasional legal challenges, including an inquiry into his management of the Walsh estates.

In his later years, Gresley retired from public life, possibly influenced by controversies surrounding electoral procedures. Despite these issues, he remained a popular arbitrator and litigant. He passed away in September 1445, leaving his estates to his elder son, who only outlived him by five years. Sir Thomas Gresley's life, marked by land acquisition, family alliances, and occasional legal skirmishes, paints a vivid picture of the life of a medieval English nobleman.

1774 Soldier and supporter of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. He later supported John's son and heir Henry Bolingbroke in his bid to become King Henry IV and in later battles against his enemies. At the Battle of Shrewsbury he served as the royal standard-bearer, was mistaken for the king and killed in combat.

He appears as a character in Shakespeare's play Henry IV, part 1, in which he epitomizes selfless loyalty and chivalry.

1780 Something strange. In 1920 Gladys was enumerated as the step-daughter of Carl E Tibbetts of Kittery, Navy Yard worker. First wife Helen Brucher had died in 1912. With him in 1920 was Elizabeth H Tibbetts, his wife and Gladys' mother and Mary E Woodward, Glady's grandmother. In 1930 Gladys was with Archie Derochemont. There seems to be confusion as to who Gladys's father was. There is no birth record that I can find in Maine. Nor can I find her anywhere in the 1910 census, even searching everything by first name only. MANSON, Gladys Maud (I11)

Historical Sketches of Andover, Massachusetts by Sarah Loring Bailey, published by Houghton Mifflin in 1880

Colonel Dudley Bradstreet was serving as the Justice of Peace in Andover during the witch hysteria. Though he didn't believe the witchcraft delusion, his duties required him to issue almost 50 arrest warrants before he finally refused to issue any more. Afterwards, both Dudley and his wife, Ann were also accused. They temporarily fled the area, evading arrest.

Dudley's father, Simon would serve as the Colonial Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony from 1670 to 1686. After Simon's wife Anne died, he moved back to Salem and Dudley moved into his father's residence in Andover, as well as taking over his father's leadership role in the town. Dudley was an attorney, a colonel in the militia, schoolteacher, and served as a selectman and town clerk in Andover. He would also serve as a Deputy to the General Court of Massachusetts and later, was a member of the Governor's Council. Though he opposed the entire witchcraft delusion, he found himself in the unenviable position of Justice of the Peace in Andover during the hysteria. In the eight weeks from July 15, 1692 until the "touch test" on September 7th, Bradstreet granted out arrest warrants against, and committed, some 30 Andover persons to prisons for supposed witchcrafts. On September 7th, after the ludicrous "touch test," he dutifully wrote out an additional 18 warrants. However, after he had issued those warrants, he refused to grant any more. Not long afterwards, both he and his wife Ann Wood (widow of Theodore Price), were themselves, accused of witchcraft, with the "afflicted" claiming that they had killed at least nine people. In response, Colonel Bradstreet and his wife fled the area. However, he later returned to Andover and his name appears first on the petition written in late December. The petition, presented to the Superior Court of Judicature at Salem at its opening session on January 3, 1693. It was signed not only by Colonel Bradstreet, but also the Reverend Francis Dane, Reverend Thomas Barnard, 38 other men, and 12 women. The petition was on behalf of Mary Clement Osgood, Eunice Potter Frye, Deliverance Haseltine Dane, Sarah Lord Wilson and Abigail Wheeler Barker, who were all church members who had been arrested together at the Andover touch test. He died in Andover, Massachusetts in 1706.
