207	According to legend, Ermesinde saw the Virgin Mary, and planned the construction on that spot of the Clairefontaine Abbey.[1] In her will she asked that she be buried at this location. The abbey was built by her son, Henry V.[3] After many years, the abbey was destroyed in the late 18th century by French troops. In 1747, shortly before the old abbey was destroyed by French troops, the nuns had hidden Ermesinde's remains in a chapel, where they were found by the Jesuits during 1875-1877 reconstructions. The remains are now in the crypt of the chapel of Clairefontaine.	ERMESINDE (I17314)

210	Adelaide was the daughter of the count palatine Adalard of Paris. Her great-grandfather was Bégon, Count of Paris. Her great-grandmother, Alpaïs, wife of Bégon, was the illegitimate daughter of Louis the Pious by an unnamed mistress. Adelaide was chosen by Charles the Bald, King of Western Francia, to marry his son and heir, Louis the Stammerer, despite the fact that Louis had secretly married Ansgarde of Burgundy against the wishes of his father. Although Louis and Ansgarde already had two children, Louis and Carloman,[1] Charles prevailed upon Pope John VIII, to dissolve the union. This accomplished, Charles married his son to Adelaide in February 875. However, the marriage was called into question because of the close blood-kinship of the pair. When on 7 September 878 the pope crowned Louis (who had succeeded his father in the previous year), the pope refused to crown Adelaide.[2] When Louis the Stammerer died in Compiegne on 10 April 879, Adelaide was pregnant, giving birth on 17 September 879, to Charles the Simple.[3] The birth of this child led to a dispute between Adelaide and Ansgarde. Ansgarde and her sons accused Adelaide of adultery; Adelaide in turn disputed the right of Ansgarde's sons to inherit. Eventually, Adelaide succeeded in winning the case; but despite this, Ansgarde's sons Louis and Carloman remained kings until their deaths without heirs in 882 and 884 respectively, with the crown then being contested between Odo, Count of Paris and Charles the Fat. Charles eventually succeeded to his father's throne in 898; his mother assisted in crowning him. She died in Laon on 10 November 901 and was buried in the Abbey of Saint-Corneille, Compiègne, Picardy.	PARIS, Adelaide of (I135)

217	After her death, she was remembered by her subjects as "Matilda the Good Queen" and "Matilda of Blessed Memory", and for a time sainthood was sought for her, though she was never canonized. Matilda is also thought to be the identity of the "Fair Lady" mentioned at the end of each verse in the nursery rhyme London Bridge Is Falling Down. The post-Norman conquest English monarchs to the present day are related to the Anglo-Saxon House of Wessex monarchs via Matilda of Scotland as she was the great-granddaughter of King Edmund Ironside, see House of Wessex family tree.

260	Alan of Galloway, a prominent figure in the 13th century, was a Scottish magnate known for his significant influence in the Kingdom of Scotland and the Irish Sea zone. Born before 1199, Alan was the eldest son of Roland, Lord of Galloway, and Helen de Morville. His lineage connected him to the kings of England and the Isles, positioning him as a key player in the political landscape of his time. Alan's rise to prominence began around 1200, following his father's death, when he inherited the lordship of Galloway and the prestigious position of Constable of Scotland. This role, passed down from the Morvilles through his mother, placed him in charge of leading the king's royal forces, a testament to his military prowess and leadership. Throughout his career, Alan demonstrated a keen ability to navigate the complex political environment of the era. He was an advisor to King John of England concerning the Magna Carta and played a significant role in King Alexander II of Scotland's ambitions in northern England during the turbulent period following the repudiation of the Magna Carta. Alan's influence extended beyond Scotland. He was actively involved in the English colonization of Ulster, receiving a substantial grant in the region from the English king. This move not only served English interests but also bolstered the security of the Scottish realm. His involvement in Ulster and the Isles, regions under nominal Norwegian authority, even provoked a significant military response from King Hákon Hákonarson of Norway, highlighting the extent of his influence. As the ruler of the semi-autonomous Lordship of Galloway, Alan was a figure of considerable military might, courted by both Scottish and English kings. He was recognized in Norse saga-accounts as one of the greatest warriors of his time. His military and political acumen was evident in his ability to serve both his liege lords - the kings of England and Scotland - successfully, up until the political situation in England began to deteriorate with King John facing increasing baronial resistance. Alan's involvement in the negotiations of the Magna Carta in 1215 further underscores his significance. His name appears among the twenty-seven advisors in the preamble of the charter, indicating his role in counseling the king regarding this landmark document. Alan's death in 1234 marked the end of his dynasty's rule over Galloway. Under Celtic custom, his illegitimate son could have succeeded him, but feudal Scottish law dictated that his nearest heirs were his daughters. This led to the partition of the lordship amongst them, an event that Alexander II used to further integrate Galloway into the Scottish realm. Alan of Galloway's legacy is that of a powerful lord who navigated the complex political waters of his time with skill and acumen. His contributions to the history of Scotland and the British Isles during a period of significant upheaval and change are still recognized today.	GALLOWAY, Alan of (I7253)

262	Albert lived on Woodbury Avenue at Christian Shore on Maplewood Ave after they moved from Raitts Court where they lived in 1920. He last resided at the Wentworth Home. Prior to that he had lived for several weeks with daughter Amelia. Since he was left an orphan at a young age, Albert was given to a Coleman family in Newington where he worked for room and board from childhood. An honest man with no formal education, he never traveled more than fifty miles from his home. I cannot find Albert in the 1880 census. In the 1900 census Albert was a single farm laborer in Newington, not too far from where Amelia and first husband Israel Neill were living. In 1920 he was listed as a baggage master with the railroad. With him were his wife, daughter Amelia and widowed brother Frank, aged 65 who had no occupation. In 1930 he and wife Amelia were alone, and Albert was a laborer of odd jobs. They rented their very primitive home on Woodbury Ave for $6 a month. They were very poor, proud people.	GARLAND, Albert Haven (I2)
263	Alfonso II died in Palermo, Sicily, Italy, while accompanying his sister Constance to her wedding with Frederick II, Holy Roman Empero	ALFONSO, II (I17646)
264	Alfred is venerated as a saint by some Christian traditions, but an attempt by Henry VI of England in 1441 to have him canonized by the pope was unsuccessful. The Anglican Communion venerates him as a Christian hero, with a feast day or commemoration on 26 October, and he may often be found depicted in stained glass in Church of England parish churches. Alfred commissioned Bishop Asser to write his biography, which inevitably emphasised Alfred's positive aspects. Later medieval historians, such as Geoffrey of Monmouth also reinforced Alfred's favourable image. By the time of the Reformation Alfred was seen as being a pious Christian ruler, who promoted the use of English rather than Latin, and so the translations that he commissioned were viewed as untainted by the later Roman Catholic influences of the Normans. Consequently, it was writers of the sixteenth century who gave Alfred his epithet as 'the Great', rather than any of Alfred's contemporaries.The epithet was retained by succeeding generations of Parliamentarians and empire-builders who saw Alfred's patriotism, success against barbarism, promotion of education and establishment of the rule of law as supporting their own ideals. Alfred successfully defended his kingdom against the Viking attempt at conquest, and by the time of his death had become the dominant ruler in England. Alfred had a reputation as a learned and merciful man of a gracious and level-headed nature who encouraged education, proposing that primary education be taught in English, and improved his kingdom's legal system, military structure and his people's quality of life. In 2002, Alfred was ranked number 14 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons.	GREAT, King of Wessex Alfred the (I7173)
265	Alice Holland, Countess of Kent (c. 1350[1] - 17 March 1416), LG, formerly Lady Alice Fitzalan, was an English noblewoman, a daughter of the 10th Earl of Arundel, and the wife of the 2nd Earl of Kent, the half-brother of King Richard II. As the maternal grandmother of Anne Mortimer, she was an ancestor of King Edward IV and King Richard III, as well as King Henry VII and the Tudor dynasty through her daughter Margaret Holland. She was also the maternal grandmother of Joan Beaufort, Queen of Scotland. She was appointed a Lady of the Garter in 1388.	FITZALAN, Countess of Kent; Lady of the Garter Alice (I17426)
266	Alice, the only daughter of William de Warenne (1256-1286) and Joan de Vere, daughter of Robert de Vere, 5th Earl of Oxford, was born on 15 June 1287 in Warren, Sussex, six months after her father was accidentally killed in a tournament on 15 December 1286. On the death of her paternal grandfather, John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey in 1304, her only sibling John de Warenne, 7th Earl of Surrey succeeded to the earldom. He became estranged from his childless wife and they never reconciled, leaving Alice as the heir presumptive to the Surrey estates and title. The Earl of Arundel and his brother-in-law John de Warenne were the only nobles who remained loyal to King Edward II, after Queen Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March returned to England in 1326. He had allied himself to the King's favourite Hugh le Despenser, and agreed to the marriage of his son to Despenser's granddaughter. Arundel had previously been granted many of the traitor Mortimer's forfeited estates, and was appointed Justice of Wales in 1322 and Warden of the Welsh Marches in 1325. He was also made Constable of Montgomery Castle which became his principal base. The Earl of Arundel was captured in Shropshire by the Queen's party.[3] On 17 November 1326 in Hereford, Arundel was beheaded by order of the Queen, leaving Alice de Warenne a widow. Her husband's estates and titles were forfeited to the Crown following Arundel's execution, but later restored to her eldest son, Richard.	DE WARENNE, Alice (I10326)
267	All his children's weddings and baptisms took place at St Mary Magdalene in Taunton, England	COGGAN, Henry (I10539)
268	All info from Debbie Patch: He remained in Holland after his parents died in Demerara. He became rich, was married and had no children. Could he have been the one who left a legacy to the de Wit children in Demerara?	DEROCHEMONT, William Leonard (I2179)
269	All my info here came from Debbie Patch: Tikwis Begby of Melbourne, Australia sent me the following, "Carle Pieter Wilhelm de Rochemont, magazinjn-en waagmeester te Demerary 1790". This would place Carle in Demerara by this date. Waag means "scales", meester "master", magazine probably in the artillery sense. A little pamphlet entitled "Commemorative Gathering. Notes of Proceedings at the Meeting of the De Rochemont Family, at Newington, on Piscataqua. August 23, 1866", was published in Boston by Rockwell and Rollins, Printers, 122 Washington St. In it is a short history of the family as it was known in 1866. It mentions that one of Maximilian's ancestors was a Huguenot minister who had settled in Holland. It also says "we find it recorded" that Maximilien was born in Tournay, French Flanders, Sept. 24, 1781. The pamphlet further states that Maximilian's father was a captain of cavalry, a soldier, a brave man. He moved from Tournay to Amsterdam and then to Demerara, a Dutch colony, where he was ordered with his troop. He took with him his wife, his brother, and his six children--four boys and two girls. One girl, it states, married the de Wit. The mother, father, and father's brother subsequently died from the "colony fever". The children, orphans, returned to Amsterdam where they were cared for by an aunt, the teacher of a seminary. According to the appendix of the Commemorative Gathering notes with information given by Charles Peter William De Rochemont, Charles was son of Abraham Fortunatus and named for his grandfather and great grandfather.	DEROCHEMONT, Carel Pieter Wlhelm (I1216)
270	Allan's marriage was noticed in the Rochester Courier, and I am presuming that the marriage took place in Rochester. He was a resident, however, of Portsmouth.	DE ROCHEMONT, Allen Cleveland (I1356)
271	Almira was a resident of Newburyport but died in Chelsea of typhoid according to her death record.	STAPLES, Almira (I1918)
272	Along with his brother Roger, indicted for felonies and trespass in Yorkshire, 1354.	BIGOD, Escheator of Yorkshire, Justice of the Peace for Yorkshire. Sir John (I7240)
273	Alpaida (also Alphaida, Alpoïde, Elphide, Elfide, Chalpaida; ca. 654 - ca. 714) was a noblewoman of the House of Pepin, who hailed from the Liège area.[1][2] The daughter of Alberic of Austrasia and Adèle of Poiters, she was Pepin II's (635 or 640 - December 16, 714) second wife and mother to two sons, Charles Martel (Charles the Hammer) (d. October 22, 741) and Childebrand (678-751).[3]	ALPAIDA (I7203)
274	Also in the 1860 census are the following: Mary age 84 and Elizabeth age 30. Since there is no surname with them, I assume them also to be Nutters. John Peverly age 32 is also in the household.	NUTTER, Charles Wesley (I1361)
275	Also known as "Mike" because when he was in the service he could never reemember anyone's name and so he always called them (all of them0 by one single commong name (like Bob - nobody knows what the name was). So his fellow soldiers jokingly nicknamed him "Mike" and it stuck.	WRIGHT, Thomas Christopher (I756)
276	Although Eleanor was completely devoted to her husband King Henry III, and staunchly defended him against the rebel Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester, she was very much hated by the Londoners. This was because she had brought a large number of relatives with her to England in her retinue; these were known as "the Savoyards", and they were given influential positions in the government and realm. On one occasion, Eleanor's barge was attacked by angry citizens who pelted her with stones, mud, pieces of paving, rotten eggs and vegetables.	PROVENCE, Eleanor of (I7515)
277	Although the French chronicler Jean Froissart called her "the most beautiful woman in all the realm of England, and the most loving", the appellation "Fair Maid of Kent" does not appear to be contemporary.	KENT, Lady of the Garter Joan of (I17347)
278	Although twins, Anne was baprized a month after her brother	GAGNON, Anne (Twin) (I13675)
279	Amelia was born in the Old Parsonage in Newington. Within the year, she had moved to Maplewood Ave near the mall, then to Raitt's Court. On her marriage record from Kittery Point, her age was given as 18, but she was only 15.	GARLAND, Amelia Julia (I941)
280	An anonymous 13th-century vida of William remembers him thus: The Count of Poitiers was one of the most courtly men in the world and one of the greatest deceivers of women. He was a fine knight at arms, liberal in his womanizing, and a fine composer and singer of songs. He traveled much through the world, seducing women. In a striking departure from the typical attitude toward women in the period, William seems to have held at least one woman in particularly high esteem, composing several poems in homage to this woman, who he refers to as midons (master):[8] Every joy must abase itself, and every might obey in the presence of Midons, for the sweetness of her welcome, for her beautiful and gentle look; and a man who wins to the joy of her love will live a hundred years. The joy of her can make the sick man well again, her wrath can make a well man die, His frankness, wit and vivacity caused scandal and won admiration at the same time. He is among the first Romance vernacular poets of the Middle Ages, one of the founders of a tradition that would culminate in Dante, Petrarch, and François Villon. Ezra Pound mentions him in Canto VIII: And Poictiers, you know, Guillaume Poictiers, had brought the song up out of Spain with the singers and viels... In Spirit of Romance Pound also calls William IX "the most 'modern' of the troubadours":	DE AQUITAINE, Guillaume IX (I392)
281	An heirress, born into a prominent Warwickshire family	GYBBES, Ann (I10213)
282	An important Domesday tenant-in-chief, de Mandeville was one of the ten richest magnates of the reign of William the Conqueror. William granted him large estates, primarily in Essex, but in ten other shires as well.[6] He served as the first sheriff of London and Middlesex,[7] and perhaps also in Essex, and in Hertfordshire. He was the progenitor of the de Mandeville Earls of Essex.[8] About 1085 he and Lescelina, his second wife, founded Hurley Priory as a cell of Westminster Abbey.[	DE MANDEVILLE, Geoffrey (I11109)
283	An intense physical relationship between the spouses was demonstrated by the fact that, during her 12 years of marriage, Hildegard had 8 pregnancies (including one set of twins) and remarkably chronicles never mentioned either miscarriages or stillbirths. She accompanied Charlemagne on many of his militar campaigns: she gave birth her second child and first daughter, Adelaide, during the siege of Pavia, capital of the Kingdom of the Lombards (September 773/June 774), but she died during the return journey to France. In 778, Hildegard accompanied her husband as far as Aquitaine, where she gave birth the twins Louis and Lothair.[9] In 780/781 she traveled with Charlemagne and four of their children to Rome, where the sons Louis and Carloman (renamed Pepin after his baptism by Pope Adrian I) were appointed sub-kings of Aquitaine and Italy, respectively. This contributed to the strengthening of the alliance between the Carolingians and the Papacy.[10] Because of her frequent pregnancies, can be presumed that Hildegard accompanied her husband on further campaigns, at least temporarily. What is also remarkable about Charles, particularly during that era, is the genuine affection that he had for his children. They travelled with him everywhere he went, the sons at his side, the daughters behind. They dined with him. He was reported to be so fond of his daughters that none of them was allowed to marry; this may have been less out of affection than out of a reluctance to offer land and power to sons-in-law. He had originally contracted a marriage for his eldest daughter Rotrude with Constantine VI of Byzantium, but when the girl was eleven years old, the engagement was annulled. He was not opposed to the daughters having unofficial relationships with men who were not their husbands, and he refused to believe stories that were told about the daughters’ unseemly behavior.

291	Ann described her captivity in detail: "Ann Jenkins, of full age, Testifieth and saith, that at Oyster River, on the eighteenth of July last past, in the morning about the dawning of the day, my husband being up, went out of the door and presently returning cried to me and our children to run for our lives, for the Indians had beset the town: whereupon my husband and myself fled with our children into our cornfield, and at our entrance into the field, Bomazeen, whom I have seen since I came out of captivity in the prison, came towards us and about ten Indians more; and the said Bomazeen then shot at my husband and shot him down, ran to him and struck him three blows on the head with a hatchet, scalped him and run him three times with a bayonet. I also saw the said Bomazeen knock one of my children on the head, and took off her scalp, and then put the child into her father's arms, and then stabbed the breast. And Bomazeen also then killed my husband's grandmother, and scalped her, and then led me up to a house, and plundered it, and then set it on fire, and carried me and my three children into captivity, together with the rest of our neighbors, whose lives were spared, being at first forty-nine: but in one mile's going, or thereabouts, they killed three children, so there remained forty-six captives. And that night the company parted, I, this deponent, numbered one hundred and forty of Indians, and fourteen Frenchmen, and then when I took the account, there were more firing at Woodman's garrison, and at Burnham's garrison: but the number unknown to me. Myself with nine captives more, were carried up to Penecook and were left with three Indians. And that party went to Greaten Bomazeen, being their Commander. In nine days they returned, and brought twelve captives: and from thence with their canoes, sometimes afloat, and sometimes carried, until that we came to Norridgewock, which took us fifteen days, and stayed about two months there, then dispersed into the woods, two or three families in a place, until they brought us down to Pemaquid, and delivered us to Capt March. Bomazeen was my Master: his wife my Mistress, until Bomazeen was taken at Pemaquid; after that I belonged to his wife, until about two months before I was brought down to Pemaquid: for then the Indian Minister, called Prince Waxaway, bought me, when I was brought to great weakness and extremity by their bad usage, and showed me great kindness; by whose means, under God, my life was preserved. My mistress was very cruel to me, and I was cruelly whipped seven times, and they intended to so proceed, once a week, until they had killed me: but that Indian Minister had compassion on me, and rescued me. That Indian Minister also bought three captives more, and freed them from their hard usage. Their names are Nicholas Frost, Sarah Bragginton, and Thomas Drue. The mark of Ann Jenkins." More info: Bomazeen the Indian Chief controlled the Indian raids at Oyster River and surrounding area. He was a fearless warrior who killed many of the early settlers in 1694. He was captured and sent to Boston where he was put on trial. Several witnesses of the massacre spoke against him. Bomazeen escaped with his life at the trial, but was later slain in an attack on the Norridgewock's village in 1724. Bomazeen died that August day in 1724 as he rushed to warn the Norridgewock mission that the English troops, led by Captain Jeremiah Moulton, Captain Johnson Harmon, Captain John Brown, and Captain Joseph Bean were on their way to destroy them. Captain Moulton had tried before, but today he would not fail. Chief Bomazeen perished in a hail of gunfire as he attempted to cross the Kennebec River. This beautiful spot in the river is known today as Bomazeen Rips. We also know that Chief Bomazeen was at the brutal massacre of York, Maine. And in the oddest twist of fate, this is the very place where a five-year-old Jeremiah Moulton was taken hostage by the Indians and marched along with 100 other pilgrims up the Kennebec River to Norridgewock. Little Jeremiah was later released in an instance of gratitude to the English for releasing some Indian hostages. Who would have guessed that years later Jeremiah Moulton, now Captain Moulton, would return to Norridgewock to exact his revenge. Chief Bomazeen was taken hostage in an act of treachery by the English in 1696 and held in a brutal Boston prison on Deer Island. It was here, while starved, beaten, and emaciated that he is said to have told his English captors (according to clergyman Cotton Mather) that his French teachers (the Jesuit Father Sebastian Rale) had instructed the Indians that 'Jesus Christ was of the French Nation and that his mother, the Virgin Mary, was a French woman: that the English had been his murderers: that he rose and went to heaven, and that all who would gain his favor must revenge his quarrel upon the English as much as possible.' Many argue that Chief Bomazeen never spoke these words, but nonetheless, the English belief that the French friars were active in inciting the Indians to commit depredations upon the English settlers led the General Court of Massachusetts to pass an act to eject them entirely from the colony.

292	Anna is often cited as having died 13 Oct 1759. There was a Hannah Frost who died that day, but I don't think this is Anna. Anna is listed as the mother of a daughter who was born 5 days later (18 Oct) as well as of sons who were born years later.	FRENCH, Anna (I2440)
293	Anne Cloutier, born on January 19, 1626, in St-Jean-de-Mortagne, Perche, France, was one of the earliest settlers of New France and a pivotal figure in the colony's early history. The daughter of Zacharie Cloutier, a master carpenter, and Xainte Dupont, Anne's life story encapsulates the challenges and realities faced by the first generation of French-Canadian settlers. At the age of eight, Anne embarked on a life-changing journey across the Atlantic with her family. They arrived in New France on June 4, 1634, as part of Robert Giffard's recruitment of skilled artisans to establish the Beauport settlement near Quebec City. The Cloutiers were among the vanguard of the Percheron migration that would significantly shape the demographic and cultural landscape of New France. Anne's childhood in the colony was likely filled with the daily challenges of frontier life. While her father worked on constructing essential buildings and fortifications, Anne would have assisted her mother in managing their household in the harsh New World environment. Perhaps the most notable event in Anne's short life was her marriage to Robert Drouin. On July 27, 1636, at just ten years old, Anne was betrothed to Drouin, a bricklayer and employee of Robert Giffard. Their marriage contract, signed in the home of Jean Guyon, holds the distinction of being the first recorded in New France. Due to Anne's youth, the contract included provisions postponing the consummation of the marriage. The actual wedding ceremony took place a year later, on July 12, 1637, at the Church of Notre-Dame de Quebec. Even then, the couple was required to wait two more years before living together as husband and wife. This arrangement reflects the complex realities of life in the early colony, where marriages often served strategic social and economic purposes. Despite her young age at marriage, Anne bore several children with Robert Drouin. Their first child, Agnes, was born in 1641 but sadly died within a week. Anne would go on to have five more children, though only two daughters, Geneviève and Jeanne, survived to adulthood. Notably, Michelle is descended through Anne's daughter Geneviève, while Jim's lineage traces back to Jeanne through the Vermette/Gilbert branch. Tragically, Anne's life was cut short at the age of 22. She passed away on February 3, 1648, in Quebec City, leaving behind her husband and young children. Her funeral, as described in the Jesuit Relations, provides a poignant glimpse into the communal nature of life and death in early New France. Though her life was brief, Anne Cloutier's story is a testament to the resilience and fortitude of the women who helped establish New France. Her early marriage, her role as a mother in a challenging frontier environment, and her position as a daughter of one of the colony's founding families make her an important figure in the early history of French Canada.

294	Anne Hutchinson (née Marbury; July 1591 - August 1643) was a Puritan spiritual advisor, religious reformer, and an important participant in the Antinomian Controversy which shook the infant Massachusetts Bay Colony from 1636 to 1638. Her strong religious convictions were at odds with the established Puritan clergy in the Boston area and her popularity and charisma helped create a theological schism that threatened the Puritan religious community in New England. She was eventually tried and convicted, then banished from the colony with many of her supporters.	MARBURY, Anne (I3561)

297	Ansegisel (also Ansgise, Ansegus, or Anchises) (c. 602 or 610 - murdered before 679 or 662) was the son of Saint Arnulf, bishop of Metz, and his wife Doda. He served King Sigbert III of Austrasia (634-656) as a duke (Latin dux, a military leader) and domesticus. He was killed sometime before 679, slain in a feud by his enemy Gundewin. Through his son Pepin, Ansegisel's descendants would eventually become Frankish kings and rule over the Carolingian Empire.	ANSEGISEL (I7206)
298	Anthony Emery, a carpenter from Romsey, Hampshire, England, set sail for America with his wife Frances Porter aboard the ship "James" in 1635. Together with his brother John and John's family, they embarked on a journey that would significantly shape their lives and the Emery family lineage in the New World. Upon arrival in Boston on June 3, 1635, Anthony initially settled in Newbury, Massachusetts. Around 1640, he moved to Dover, where he became an influential community member, signing the "Dover Constitution" and running an "Ordinary" (an establishment serving wine and food). He was also appointed as a selectman and was granted the right to operate a ferry and an inn in 1650. Despite facing fines for questioning the authority of the court in Kittery and for entertaining Quakers, Anthony's prominence in the community was evident. He served multiple times as a juryman and selectman, acknowledging himself subject to the government of Massachusetts Bay. In 1660, seeking greater liberty, Anthony and Frances moved to Portsmouth, Rhode Island. He continued his civic engagement, serving as constable and deputy to the General Court. Anthony's last known record is from 1680, transferring land in Portsmouth to his daughter Rebecca Sadler. Both Anthony and Frances eventually returned to Newbury, Massachusetts, where they passed away. Their legacy continues through the rich history of the Emery family, a testament to their pioneering spirit and resilience in shaping early American society.	EMERY, Anthony (I8236)
299	Aoife MacMurrough, also known as Eva of Leinster, was a prominent Irish noblewoman born around 1145. She was the daughter of Dermot MacMurrough, the King of Leinster, and his second wife, Mor O'Toole. Aoife's life was deeply intertwined with the significant historical events of her time, particularly the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland. Raised in the royal household of Leinster, Aoife was educated in the law of the land and was literate in Church-Latin. Her privileged upbringing ensured that she was well-prepared for the roles she would later assume. In 1170, following her father's request for assistance from the Anglo-Normans, Aoife was married to Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, known as Strongbow. This marriage was not only a political alliance but also a fulfillment of Brehon law, which required mutual consent for marriage, indicating Aoife's agreement to the union. The marriage to Strongbow brought Aoife into the forefront of the Norman invasion of Ireland. Under Anglo-Norman law, this union gave Strongbow succession rights to the Kingdom of Leinster. Aoife herself played a significant role in this new era of Irish history. She is sometimes referred to as Red Eva (Aoife Rua) and is known to have led troops in battle, showcasing her leadership and martial prowess. Aoife and Strongbow had two children: Gilbert de Clare, who inherited the title of Earl of Pembroke but died young, and Isabel de Clare, who became a significant figure in her own right. Through Isabel, Aoife's descendants included much of the European nobility, including all the monarchs of Scotland since Robert I and those of England, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom since Henry IV. After Strongbow's death in 1176, Aoife did not remarry. She devoted herself to raising their children and defending their territory. Aoife's death is believed to have occurred around 1188. She was buried in Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire, alongside her father-in-law, Gilbert FitzGilbert de Clare. Aoife MacMurrough's life represents a fascinating blend of Irish tradition and the new Anglo-Norman influence. Her marriage to Strongbow was a turning point in Irish history, leading to significant political and cultural changes. Her legacy is reflected not only in the historical records but also in her descendants, who played pivotal roles in the shaping of European history.	MACMURROUGH, Aoife (I7448)
