Signed Morel, missionary priest 26 August, 1669 Translation of information found in the museum on the I’le d’Orleans VERMET Antoine (c.1636 - Ant. 13-08-1713) said Laforme Son of Fleury Asquet (Vermet) and Marie Leblanc, of the Saint-Nicaise parish of the of city d* Arras in Atois, he married at Sainte-Famille, the Island of Orléans on Monday, August 26, 1669, Barbe Menard, daughter of René Ménard and Judith Veillon, of the city of La Rochelle in Aunis. Eight children were born from their union. This ancestor married in 1669 and settled at Saint-Famille and then Saint-François of the Orléans Island in a land of three acres frontage. On February 5th 1670, Marie-Barbe of Boulogne, widow of Louis Dailleboust, rented him a cow for five years, with 20 pounds the first year and 25 pounds for each of the remaining years. At the Census of 1681, he lived at the extreams of Saint-Famille and Saint-François of the Orléans Island. August 16, 1682, François Garinet sold a land to him at Saint-Francois of the Orléans Island at the price of 150 pounds. The first of August 1684, he commited his daughter Marie-Anne to Étienne Landron, until she was married, at 36 pounds of wages the first three years and 50 pounds of wages for each of the remaining years. On the 30th of January 1685, he committed his daughter Marie-Madeleine to this same Étienne Landron untill she is ready to marry, because of 30 pounds the first three years and 40 pounds for each of the remaining years. His wife died at Sainte-Famille of the Orléans Island on 16 June 1685. On the 19th of March 1688, it is his daughter Marguerite, aged thirteen, whom he committed to Louise Delestre for three years, with his housing, his food, his maintenance and 30 pounds of wages annually. On 8th of May 1702, he committed his son John aged sixteen for four years as an apprentice Barber at Jean Chevalier with his housing, its food and its maintenance. We do not know the precise of his death before August the 13th 1713, date of the marriage contract of his son Jean.

| 2022 | Unlike the "King Duncan" of Shakespeare's Macbeth, the historical Duncan appears to have been a young man. He followed his grandfather Malcolm as king after the latter's death on 25 November 1034, without apparent opposition. He may have been Malcolm's acknowledged successor or Tànaiste as the succession appears to have been uneventful. | DUNCAN, I (I7308)

| 2025 | Update as of 10/24/23 Every online tree I have found have Hannah’s parents listed incorrectly. A transfer of deeds by Abednego Leather’s children and heirs in 1821, make it clear that Hannah is actually the child of Abednego Edwards and Elizabeth Woodward. I have not yet found a birth certificate, but this is the only reasonable explanation of relationships. ----- Inconsistency:The Massachusetts, Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988 asserts that The parents of Martha G. Witherell who died in 1896 at the age of 86 were Joseph Stevens of Lee, NH and Hannah Langley of Nottingham, NH. Previous line of research: I have come to believe that Hannah's maiden name was actually Leathers and not Langley. The major fact this is based on is the Rockingham County deed Book 233 pp-48-52 in which Hannah is indicated as an heir to Abednego Leather's property. Additionally, her daugther Araiadna's birth record names her Hannah Leathers. We know that many 19th centure Leathers in NH changed their names because of the stigma it carried. Could this be true of Hannah? If so, it seems most likely that she was a daughter of Abednego Leathers (1770-?) and Sarah Sally Langley (1779-?), although in the deed, she is called out as an heir along with Polly, Abednego, Martha, Mehitable, and Charity as an heir. All of these individuals were children of Abednego Leathers (1742 - 1?) and Elizabeth Woodman (1745-1809). Due to birth dates, it seems impossible that she is of this generation, but why would she be the only one of the next generation named? | LEATHERS, Hannah (I172)

| 2044 | Very little is known about Abraham and Abigail Margaret (Gifford) Temple. They were married before 1623 in England and had 5 children. They were in Salem in 1636 where he was granted ten acres, a relatively small grant. Robert, our ancestor, was the only one of their children born in America. Abraham dropped out of public records after 1639, so it is likely he had died. Abigail Margaret died sometime after 1651. | TEMPLE, Abraham (I2731)

| 2062 | When Cecily was just six months old, both her father, Lord Harington, and grandfather, William Bonville, were executed following the disastrous Battle of Wakefield on 30 December 1460. The Bonvilles, having fought with the Yorkist contingent, were shown no mercy from the victorious troops of Margaret of Anjou (wife of King Henry VI of England), who headed the Lancastrian faction, and were thus swiftly decapitated on the battlefield. Cecily's maternal grandfather, Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury, was also executed after the battle which had been commanded on the Lancastrian side by Henry Beaufort, 3rd Duke of Somerset, while Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, had led the Yorkists and was consequently slain in the fighting. Margaret of Anjou, Queen of England, was in Scotland at the time raising support for her cause and so had not been present at Wakefield.[5] In less than two months, the Yorkists suffered another major defeat at the Second Battle of St Albans on 17 February 1461, and the Lancastrian army's commander Margaret of Anjou, in an act of vengeance, personally ordered the execution of Cecily's great-grandfather, Baron Bonville, the next day.[6] These executions left Cecily Bonville as the wealthiest heiress in England,[7][8] having inherited numerous estates in the West Country,[9] as well as manors in Lancashire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, and Cumberland.[10] She succeeded to the title of suo jure 7th Baroness Harington of Aldingham on 30 December 1460,[11] and the title of suo jure 2nd Baroness Bonville on 18 February 1461. | BONVILLE, 7th Baroness Harington of Aldingham; 2nd Baroness Bonville Cecily (I9205)

| 2066 | While King Louis the German was preoccupied with Imperial politics, Liudolf, relying on the rank as well as the allodial lands he had inherited from his ancestors, rose to a leading position among the Saxon nobles - made evident by the marriage of his daughter Liutgard with King Louis the Younger.

| 2067 | While the paternal ancestry of Thomas Dudley has long been questioned, after a careful reading of the following documents attached to this record, for our family tree I have accepted the lineage hypothesized and detailed by Marshall Kirk in 1993. This is the most accepted lineage of all the hypotheses put forth and H. Allen Curtis' extensive research and docuentation seems to confirm this beyond any reasonable doubt. For more details, please read the following PDFs attached to this record: Roger Dudley's Father Proved to be Captain Henry Dudley The Mystery of Thomas Dudley's Paternal Ancestors Marshall Kirk on Thomas Dudley's Paternal Line More notes on Roger Dudley: Capt. Roger Dudley: Roger Dudley (born between 1535 and 1545 -1586?/1590) was an English soldier. Dudley was born in London, England, but some[who?] say that he was baptised in Yardley Hastings, Northamptonshire. However Dudley's parentage has never been satisfactorily established. Genealogist and researcher Marshall Kirk in 1993 published the results of his exhaustive survey of the Dudley families, and came to the conclusion that he was the son of Henry Sutton Dudley. Roger may be the Roger Dudley who was matriculated as pensioner at Christ Church College, Cambridge, in 1566, but left without a degree. It is believed that he married, on June 8, 1575, at Lidlington, Bedfordshire, Susannah (Thorne), herself recorded as having been born on March 5, 1559/60 in Northamptonshire, and baptised at Yardley Hastings, the daughter of Thomas Thorne and Mary Purefoy. He is reported to have been a Captain in (the Earl of Leicester)'s militia, fighting with a commission from Elizabeth I, and under the banner of Henry of Navarre. He is thought to have died at the Battle of Ivry, France in 1590. Yet in 1586, four years earlier, the Reverend Cotton Mather of Boston wrote: "Thomas Dudley's father was Captain Roger Dudley, -- slain in the wars, when -- his son, and one only daughter were very young". The will of Thomas Dorne (Thorne) of Yardley Hastings, Gent., dated 29 Oct 1588, bequeathed "to the children of Susan Dudley, my Daughter, widow, to be equally divided". (S1,S11). Therefore, he was apparently dead by the time of the will of his father-in-law, which was written in 1588, which eliminates the time of the Battle of Ivry as a possibility for his death. It is most probable that he died at the Siege of Zutphen in 1586, having followed a relative, Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, who was a principal figure in that battle. Marshall K. Kirk suggests that Roger made his home after his father's death with Peter Grey, a "Queen's servant", whose manor of Segenhoe was two miles from Lidlington, (Bedfordshire), where Roger was later married. Roger and Susannah Dudley raised at least five children, listed as: Thomas Dudley (second governor of Massachusetts) Mary Dudley Richard Dudley (b. 1583 – d. 20 Aug 1603) Dorothy Dudley.

| 2070 | While the son of a king, he did not himself seek a royal wife. In c. 975-80 he married Ermentrude of Roucy whose maternal grandmother, Gerberga of Saxony was a sister of Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor and by this marriage alliance it caused a web of consanguinity between later kings of France, Germany, Burgundy and the Carolingians. | OTTO-WILLIAM (I7529)

| 2071 | While the title of Hereditary Lay Abbot was a feudal position that was often exercised in name only, Crinán does seem to have acted as Abbot in charge of the monastery in his time. He was thus a man of high position in both clerical and secular society. The magnificent semi-ruined Dunkeld Cathedral, built in stages between 1260 and 1501, stands today on the grounds once occupied by the monastery. The Cathedral contains the only surviving remains of the previous monastic society: a course of red stone visible in the east choir wall that may have been re-used from an earlier building, and two stone ninth - or tenth-century cross-slabs in the Cathedral Museum. In 1045, Crínán of Dunkeld rose in rebellion against Macbeth in support of his grandson, Malcolm III's claim to the throne.[3] Crínán was killed in a battle at Dunkeld. | DUNKELD, Crínán of (I7309)

| 2072 | Whilst travelling through Poitou, Duke William IX of Aquitaine met the "seductive" Dangereuse.[5] This led to her leaving her husband for Duke William, who was excommunicated by the church for "abducting her"; however, she appeared to have been a willing party in the matter. He installed her in the Maubergeonne tower of his castle in Poitiers, and, as related by William of Malmesbury, even painted a picture of her on his shield.[6][7] Upon returning to Poitiers from Toulouse, William's wife Philippa of Toulouse was enraged to discover a rival woman living in her palace. She appealed to her friends at the court of Aquitaine and to the Church;[8] however, no noble could assist her since William was their feudal overlord, and when the Papal legate Giraud complained to William and told him to return Dangereuse to her husband, William's only response to the bald legate was, "Curls will grow on your pate before I part with the Viscountess." Humiliated, in 1116, Philippa chose to retire to the Abbey of Fontevrault. | ISLE BOUCHARD, Dangereuse Maubergeonne (I2235)

| 2077 | Wilfred the Hairy has become a figure of importance for contemporary Catalan nationalists. Nineteenth century European Romanticism looked to the medieval world for references and links to modern national and cultural identities, and in the context of Catalan nationalism and its search for its historical foundations in a distant and idealised past, Wilfred soon arose as a figure of independence, the de facto founder of the House of Barcelona, and, by purported extension, one of the forefathers of the latter Catalonia. One of the legends that has arisen around his person is that of the creation of the coat of arms from which the Catalan flag (the Senyera) derives today. After being wounded in battle (some versions say against the Moors; others, the Normans), the Frankish king Charles the Bald rewarded his bravery by giving him a coat of arms. The king slid Wilfred's blood-stained fingers over the Count's copper shield, and thus was the Senyera first born, with its four pallets in Gules on Or. As much as this legend is popular and extended, there is no historical evidence to support it. | URGEL, Wilfred I Count of (I11011)

| 2078 | William and Elizabeth lived in Salisbury, MA, where he was a proprietor in 1639. They were members of the Salisbury church, but, apparently Elizabeth Brown was "cancelled" from the church list of 1687. This may have had something to do with her being "bewitched" by Susanna Martin, as explained in the following deposition made by William Brown at the Salem witchtrials of 1692: "The Deposion of william Browne of salsbury aged: 70 years or ther about who testifying sayth.

| 2081 | William Chadbourne, baptized on March 30, 1582, in Tamworth, Warwickshire, England, was a pivotal figure in the early colonization of New England. He was the son of Robert and Margery or Margaret (Dooley) Chadbourne. William married Elizabeth Sparry on October 8, 1609, in Tamworth. The couple had several children, but Elizabeth's life after their marriage remains largely undocumented, including her death date and place. In 1634, William arrived in New England aboard the ship "Pied Cow" with James Wall and John Goddard. They were under a contract with Captain John Mason of London's Laconia Company to build mills in Berwick. William, a master carpenter, played a significant role in constructing the first water-powered sawmill and gristmill in New England, starting on July 22, 1634. The house William built in Berwick, Maine, is believed to be the oldest in the state, with part of its foundation under a house at the northwest corner of Brattle and Vine Streets. This property was later deeded to his son-in-law, Thomas Spencer. The Chadbournes were not religious dissenters but members of the Church of England, possibly planning to return to England after fulfilling their contract with Mason. William's involvement in the construction of the Great House at Strawbery Banke (now Portsmouth, NH) is a subject of conjecture. While some sources attribute the building to his son Humphrey, it's more likely that William, given his expertise, was responsible for its construction. William's life in New England was marked by his active participation in community affairs. He was accused, along with his sons, by Mrs. Ann (Green) Mason, widow of Captain John Mason, of embezzling her husband's estate. However, their claim was upheld by the selectmen of Kittery and the Government of the Massachusetts Bay in New England. William was also involved in the establishment of a meeting house in Kittery and was a signatory of the Kittery Act of Submission in 1652. His last known appearance in records was on November 16, 1652. William Chadbourne's children, all baptized in Tamworth, include Patience, from whom we are descended. -------- The house William built may be the one said by Stackpole in 1926 to be the oldest house in Maine. Part of its foundation is under the present house on the northwest corner of Brattle and Vine Streets on the road from the Lower Landing (Hamilton House) to the original mill site at Asbenbedick (later Great Works) Falls. William Chadbourne deeded the home to his son-in-law, Thomas Spencer, and a nice picture of it appeared in the Boston Evening Transcript of 25 Jun 1938. Other accounts suggest that the property occupied by Spencer was actually a second, later house, and that the early home stood in the northwesterly angle of the intersection of Brattle Street leading to the mouth of the Great Works River and the highway to Eliot. The Asbenbedick Great Works was the site of a mill with nineteen saws built by the Leader brothers in the 1650s. The river was called Chadbournes River by many before and after, due to the Chadbourne dam and mill erected downstream in the late 1630s. ------ | CHADBOURNE, William (I8348)

| 2082 | William Clarke's first wife (name unknown). With her, he had three children, including Sarah, our ancestor. William remarried in 1636 to Katherine Franklin (the Widow Gedney). They emigrated to New England by 1637, accompanied by the three children of his first marriage William, Thomas and Sarah, and at least two of Katherine's children by her first marriage, Robert and Rebecca Prince. In 1645 William was an innkeeper and proprietor of "The Ship's Tavern" in Salem, Massachusetts. He was quite a wealthy man, a property owner and an officer in Salem's military company. He probably enjoyed a relatively superior social position as he is described several times as "Mr. Clarke." in the Salem Town records. William died suddenly in the summer of 1647, he could have been a victim of an "epidemical sickness" that had smitten Salem residents in June of that year. He left a large and extesnive estate including a 200-acre farm, two houses, part ownership of two ships, 1500 lbs of tobacco, 3 hogsheds of sugar, 40 lbs of ginger and other food, and all the furnishings in the tavern. His wideow Katherine received a license to continue to manage the tavern business. | CLARKE, William (I16281)

| 2083 | William de Huntingfield, a medieval English baron, played a significant role in the events surrounding the Magna Carta and the First Barons' War. He died around 1225 and was a key member of the baronial opposition against King John of England. William was one of the twenty-five sureties of the Magna Carta, a group chosen to oversee the observance of this landmark charter. Born into a family with connections to East Anglian landowners, William de Huntingfield held seven knights’ fees of the honor of Eye in Suffolk, including the manor of Huntingfield, from which he took his name. He also held several knights’ fees of other baronies, including that of Lancaster. Initially, William served King John loyally, acting as the temporary custodian of Dover Castle in 1203, an itinerant justice in 1208-1209, and as sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk in 1209-1210. He participated in John's expedition to Ireland in 1210 and served with the king in Poitou in 1214. Despite his royalist inclinations, William joined the baronial opposition in 1215, likely influenced by financial grievances and a sense of disillusionment with John's rule. He was part of the rebel muster at Stamford during Easter of that year. After his appointment to the Twenty Five, he joined forces with Robert FitzWalter and William de Mandeville to assert rebel control over East Anglia and offered assistance to Louis of France after his arrival in England. William's active participation in the rebellion led to his capture at the Battle of Lincoln in May 1217. In September of the same year, negotiations for his ransom were conducted by two of his knights. He died before October 1225, leaving behind his son Roger, who succeeded him, and a daughter Alice, the widow of Sir Richard de Solars. William de Huntingfield's life and actions reflect the complex dynamics of loyalty and opposition during King John's reign. His transition from a royalist to a key figure in the baronial rebellion and his role as a surety of the Magna Carta highlight his significance in this turbulent period of English history. NOTE: The phrase "held seven knights’ fees of the honor of Eye in Suffolk" refers to a specific type of feudal landholding and obligation in medieval England. Knights’ Fees: This term refers to a unit of land sufficient to support a knight, which could vary in size but was typically enough to generate the income needed to equip and maintain a knight. The concept of knights' fees was part of the feudal system, where land was held in exchange for military service. The Honor of Eye: An "honor" in medieval England was a large estate or collection of lands and holdings. The Honor of Eye refers to a specific group of such estates centered around Eye, a town in Suffolk. It was a significant administrative and territorial unit. Held: To "hold" land in this context means to have control over it, along with the rights and responsibilities that come with it. This usually included the right to collect rents and dues and the responsibility to provide military service or its equivalent to a superior lord or the king. So, when it is said that William de Huntingfield "held seven knights’ fees of the honor of Eye in Suffolk," it means he controlled an area of land within the larger estate of Eye in Suffolk, which was large enough to support seven knights. This would have made him a significant landholder with considerable responsibilities, including providing military service (or the financial equivalent) for the defense of the realm. | DE HUNTINGFIELD, William (I19756)

| 2084 | William d’Albini, a key figure in the baronial opposition against King John of England, was born after 1146 and died on 1 May 1236. He was the son of William d’Albini II and Maud de Senlis. William inherited a substantial lordship, including Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire, which was dramatically sited on a ridge west of Grantham and became the family's home for many generations. William came of age around 1172, following his father's death in 1167 or 1168. He served in various capacities under Kings Henry II and Richard I, including as constable of the castle of the Peak and as sheriff in several counties. His loyalty to the crown was rewarded with lands confiscated from rebels, and he even traveled to Germany in 1194 to greet King Richard upon his release from captivity. Initially a supporter of royal authority, William's stance shifted over time. He was critical of some of King John's policies, particularly regarding military service in Normandy. His eventual support for the baronial cause in 1215, after the barons took over London, was influenced by his disillusionment with John's oppressive rule and his kinship ties with other rebel leaders, including his first cousin Robert FitzWalter and his nephew Robert de Ros. William's military expertise was recognized with his appointment to the Twenty Five, a group of barons responsible for ensuring the king's adherence to the Magna Carta. He played a crucial role in the First Barons' War, notably leading the defense of Rochester Castle against King John in 1215. Despite fierce resistance, he was captured and imprisoned after the castle fell. Following King John's death and the accession of Henry III in 1216, William shifted his allegiance back to the crown. He fought for the royalist side at the Second Battle of Lincoln in 1217 and became a committed supporter of the new regime. His loyalty was rewarded with appointments such as the constable of Sleaford Castle. William d’Albini's later years were marked by continued service to the crown. He participated in campaigns against the Welsh and was present at the final reissue of the Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest in 1225. He died in 1236 at his manor of Uffington, near Stamford, and was buried at Newstead Abbey, with his heart interred at Belvoir Priory. William d’Albini's life reflects the complex loyalties and political dynamics of his time. His involvement in key historical events like the Magna Carta and the First Barons' War, combined with his military prowess and strategic alliances, cements his place as a significant figure in the history of medieval England. | D’ALBINI, William (I10277)

| 2085 | William Freethy, born around 1612, embarked on a journey to the New World that would significantly shape his life and legacy. It is believed that he arrived on the ship Speedwell in 1635, joining the wave of English settlers seeking new opportunities in America. In the early years of his settlement, William found himself on Richmond Island, off the coast of Maine. Here, he was involved in a notable mutiny, a reflection of the challenging and often harsh conditions faced by early colonists in these remote outposts. In 1636, John Winter, who managed Robert Trelawny's fishing operations in Maine, encountered a challenging situation with his crew. He wrote to Trelawny on June 28, 1636, detailing the issues. The crux of the problem was a dispute over payment: the crew members were upset because Winter wouldn't issue them bills for additional money they believed they were owed beyond their agreed shares. Winter himself was unsure if this additional payment had been made. This disagreement led to a serious conflict, with some crew members, believing they were treated unfairly, deciding to leave the plantation. They planned to start fishing on their own, heading westward, though their exact destination was unknown. The mutineers included Lander, suspected to be the ringleader, along with William Ham, Oliver Clarke, John Bellin, William Freethyy, and John Simmons - six men in total. Their return to Trelawny's service was uncertain. After his time on Richmond Island, William moved to Portsmouth, where he married Elizabeth in about 1640. Later, as s a ferryman in York, Maine, he played a crucial role in providing transportation across waterways, facilitating the movement of people and goods, and contributing to the local economy. William Freethy and his wife Elizabeth experienced a series of legal troubles spanning several years, primarily in Portsmouth, where they moved in 1640. Their encounters with the law began with William's indictment by the Saco grand jury for profaning the Sabbath by carrying boards, a violation of His Majesty's law, resulting in a fine of 20 shillings. Further issues arose in August 1643 when William was accused of neglecting religious ordinances and refusing to lead an orderly life among his neighbors. This was followed by another incident in September 1645, where he faced a fine for engaging in a fight. William's legal troubles continued into the latter part of the 1660s. On October 19, 1667, a grand jury member, James Grant, reported that William was drunk. Acknowledging this offense, William was fined five shillings. Despite these challenges, William and Elizabeth were granted land by the town of York on March 18, 1671/72. In the same year, Elizabeth faced her own legal issues. On July 1, 1671, she was convicted of defaming Mrs. Rishworth and excessive drinking. The court fined her 30 shillings for these offenses. However, either due to refusal or neglect on William's part to pay the fine, Elizabeth was subjected to a harsher punishment of fifteen stripes. | FREETHY, William (I9145)

| 2086 | William Furber was a passenger on the "Angel Gabriel," that wrecked at Pemaquid, off the coast of Maine in 1635. Eventually settling in Dover, he married Elizabeth Clarke in 1642. Elizabeth's parents are unknown. The Furbers are among the first settlers in Dover and he was a signer of the Dover Combination. | FURBER, Captain William (I2088)

| 2087 | William Ham ca. 1598-1673 of Portsmouth, New Hampshire I've seen in print that some people think this William Ham is the father of John Ham of Dover, but that is not true. These are two separate families. There are no records between these two men. It is just a coincidence that two men of the same surname lived so close to each other in early New Hampshire. 1. William Ham was born about 1598 and died June 1673 at Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He married at Plymouth, Devonshire, England on 22 November 1622, Honour Stephens, baptized there on 4 February 1601/2 and died after 1667, daughter of William and Mary (Woode) Stephens. William was a fisherman. William and Honour had two children: Elizabeth and Matthew. | HAM, William (I9835)

| 2088 | William Ham, an early settler in New England, embarked on a remarkable journey that began in Plymouth, England. According to family tradition, he was of Scottish ancestry, but his path to the New World started in June 1635, when he joined a company sent out by Robert Trelawny, a merchant from Plymouth. Trelawny, who had been granted extensive lands and rights in Maine by Gorges, was looking to establish a foothold in the New World. His grant included Richmond's Island and several thousand acres on the mainland, stretching from Sperwick River to Cape Elizabeth, just below Portland. The Trelawny family, with ancestral roots in Ham or Hame in Devonshire, had a long-standing reputation. There was speculation that the Ham family might have derived their name from this place, but no concrete evidence ever surfaced to support this theory. Trelawny's first group, led by John Winter in 1632, focused on hunting, fishing, and trading with the Native Americans. William Ham arrived three years later with Nares Hawkins and others, working under a system of shares and wages. However, the new settlers, including Ham, soon found themselves in a dispute, claiming they had been cheated by Winter and Hawkins. In June 1636, disillusioned, they left Falmouth and headed westward to Portsmouth. Winter's correspondence from June 28, 1636, lists those who departed, including William Ham, Oliver Clark, John Bellin, William Freythe, and John Simmons (Simonds). By 1646, Ham had settled in Exeter. A few years later, in 1652, he received a fifty-acre land grant in Portsmouth, where he likely spent most of his subsequent years. His homestead, known as Freeman's Point or Ham's Point until 1833, was located just above the Portsmouth Bridge, on the road to Kittery, Maine. This area, known for its beautiful scenery, became the site of Ham's house, which stood for many years. He also owned Noble's Island, once called Ham's Island. In Portsmouth, Ham played an active role in the community. He was part of the first squadron in the 1653 division of inhabitants into garrisons and contributed to the minister's maintenance fund from 1658 to 1666. William Ham passed away on January 26, 1672, at the age of seventy-two. His will, proved in Exeter, bequeathed his estate to his daughter, Elizabeth Cotton, and his grandsons, the children of his son Matthew. The relationship between William Ham of Portsmouth and John Ham of Dover remains a mystery, with no clear evidence to define whether John was William's nephew, brother, or cousin. William Ham's story, from his departure from Plymouth to his life in Portsmouth, paints a vivid picture of the challenges and triumphs of an early settler in New England. | HAM, William (I9835)

| 2089 | William Hilton emigrated to America in 1621 on the Fortune. He lived at first in Plymouth Colony and his wife and two children (William b. 1617 and Mary) joined him in 1623. This can be a bit confusing, but after his first wife (name unknown) died, William married Frances Hayward and William our ancestor) was born in 1653. These two Williams brothers were decade apart in age and while it wasn't common, it wasn't unknown that a father woudl name two children the same name with two wives. From: https://www.nh.gov/almanac/history.htm?fbclid=IwAR06qmB-n-Kp0zI71dAXbQn0LdTfj0Oaj2ee3X35oO0k1rz_xzyHw-dzCLc Early historians record that in 1623, under the authority of an English land-grant, Captain John Mason, in conjunction with several others, sent David Thomson, a Scotsman, and Edward and Thomas [William] Hilton, fish-merchants of London, with a number of other people in two divisions to establish a fishing colony in what is now New Hampshire, at the mouth of the Piscataqua River. One of these divisions, under Thomson, settled near the river’s mouth at a place they called Little Harbor or "Pannaway," now the town of Rye, where they erected salt-drying fish racks and a "factory" or stone house. The other division under the Hilton brothers set up their fishing stages on a neck of land eight miles above, which they called Northam, afterwards named Dover. Nine years before that Captain John Smith of England and later of Virginia, sailing along the New England coast and inspired by the charm of our summer shores and the solitude of our countrysides, wrote back to his countrymen that: "Here should be no landlords to rack us with high rents, or extorted fines to consume us. Here every man may be a master of his own labor and land in a short time. The sea there is the strangest pond I ever saw. What sport doth yield a more pleasant content and less hurt or charge than angling with a hook, and crossing the sweet air from isle to isle over the silent streams of a calm sea?" Thus the settlement of New Hampshire did not happen because those who came here were persecuted out of England. The occasion, which is one of the great events in the annals of the English people, was one planned with much care and earnestness by the English crown and the English parliament. Here James the first began a colonization project which not only provided ships and provisions, but free land bestowed with but one important condition, that it remain always subject to English sovereignty. | HILTON, William (I6750)

| 2093 | William Stewart of Lynn is believed to have been the same William captured at the Battle of Worcester and transported on the John & Sara in May 1652 and put to work in the Iron Works at Saugus. William testified in Middlesex County court in 1653, aged twenty-four. That puts his birth at about 1629. Sarah Abbott died 16 February 1715/16, 'a. abt. 69 y.' That puts her birth at about 1646/47. As a servant of the Iron Works, William is unlikely to have had a young family who somehow managed to follow him from Scotland. It seems more likely that Sarah was William's very young widow who married Thomas Abbott nine months after William died in 1664. | STEWART, Sarah (I9996)

| 2094 | William was a good friend of Amalric and described him in great detail. "He had a slight impediment in his speech, not serious enough to be considered as a defect but sufficient to render him incapable of ready eloquence. He was far better in counsel than in fluent or ornate speech." Like his brother Baldwin III, he was more of an academic than a warrior, who studied law and languages in his leisure time: "He was well skilled in the customary law by which the kingdom was governed - in fact, he was second to no one in this respect." He was probably responsible for an assize making all rear-vassals directly subject to the king and eligible to appear at the Haute Cour. Amalric had an enormous curiosity, and William was reportedly astonished to find Amalric questioning, during an illness, the resurrection of the body.[5] He especially enjoyed reading and being read to, spending long hours listening to William read early drafts of his history. He did not enjoy games or spectacles, although he liked to hunt. He was trusting of his officials, perhaps too trusting, and it seems that there were many among the population who despised him, although he refused to take any action against those who insulted him publicly. He was tall and fairly handsome; "he had sparkling eyes of medium size; his nose, like that of his brother, was becomingly aquiline; his hair was blond and grew back somewhat from his forehead. A comely and very full beard covered his cheeks and chin. He had a way of laughing immoderately so that his entire body shook." He did not overeat or drink to excess, but his corpulence grew in his later years, decreasing his interest in military operations; according to William, he "was excessively fat, with breasts like those of a woman hanging down to his waist." Amalric was pious and attended mass every day, although he also "is said to have absconded himself without restraint to the sins of the flesh and to have seduced married women..." Despite his piety he taxed the clergy, which they naturally opposed. As William says, "he was a man of wisdom and discretion, fully competent to hold the reins of government in the kingdom." He is considered the last of the "early" kings of Jerusalem, after whom there was no king able to save Jerusalem from its eventual collapse.
