Here is a transciption of the letter which was probably translated from Dutch. Amsterdam July 12th 1865 Dearly beloved Nephew and Niece! You have certainly already thought, that I have not received your letter. Yes, worthy nephew, but many occupations hindered me from answering Your to me so dear letter sooner, for I wished so much to write much; for I was so filialy rejoiced, the Lord our God was so good to me, that, although I have never seen your face, I nevertheless might receive letters written with own hand from the children of the brother and sister of my so heartily loved father. O beloved ones, if you had known that good honest man, you certainly would have loved him too; life’s adversities & troubles never have disturbed his peace & his greatest happiness was the welfare of my dear mother (who also from all her children was heartily beloved) and his children. The Lord had given him eleven children. The oldest, my sister Maria Elizabeth was married, now widow without children & without means; the 2nd Agnita Maria Louise, married, both died, have left 7 children; the 3d Carolina Petronella Wilhelmina, married, both died in the Lord as the former; the 4th is I Carel Peter Wilhelmus (named in honor of our grand father, as also the former) married; Wynandus Elbertus, the fifth, twice married, has 2 children, Abraham Fortunatus (my father’s name) & Wyndelina Elberta (my mother’s name). The 6th Henrietta Louisa Elonora has had two husbands & is widow with 6 children; the 7th Suzetta Henrietta, married, both died, left 4 children. The 8th Wilhelmus Leonardus, unmarried, went as mate to sea in 1854, nothing heard of him since. Cornelia Wyndelina Carolina, the 9th died after a lifetime of 20 years. The 10th Jacoba Elizabeth Antonia Johanna, married, has 3 children living, her husband H van Binnendyk is instructor in a religious school in Vreesland. Jerard Abraham, the 11th, married has 5 children & sails as mate on a steamboat. Here is worthy nephew a small short account of my brothers and sisters. There live also besides children of the brother of our grandfather CPW deRochemont & our grand-tante J.H. Abraham named but all I have to bear many cares & adversities, but this is indeed the promises for this world of our great God & Savior. I have had no opportunity yet, to inquire about your aunt van der Hass, born de Wit, but as soon as I get some opportunity for it, I will enquire hereafter. Your wife, my dear niece’s brother de Wit was in Middleburg in the family de Rochmont….learnd….was the sister of our grandfather Susette Henrietta de Wit, there died, then….died. I was in the Indies, there I also asked & noticed thereof not much, but I still have a copy of testament, in case your family has nothing received, shall I hereafter inform & give notice thereof to you; then I was yet seaman,--then I was at the nautical seminary, where also my father & uncle Henry have been. Have I still written to Aunt de Wit (Aunt Maria), I had then a great desire to go to Rio Demerarie but could not find an opportunity. O I should have liked so much to see the dear Sister of my good father in the place where our dear grandparents are buried, but it was not granted to me, and now it is my good luck, that I can yet write to her children, it grieves me not to be quick enough to converse in English, then it would be easier for both of us. I have had from your mother de Wit a letter in good Hollandish, o could you also, dear niece, write in Hollanish. You have seen my second sister also has had your name. She was a dear sister, daughter, mother & wife, her memory remains blessed. I have also received a letter from your brother B P Shillaber with portraits of his wife & 2 daughters Lizzie & Emma; it would please me much if you will be so kind, to give him previously the most heartfelt Thanks, I hope to write him soon, but the time is to crowded with business; You have seen how many widows & orphans there are of my brothers & sisters, those all must be from time to time be helped & cared for, a very great blessing have I received from my faithful God & Father, a very healthy & stout body and peace for my aim through Jesus Christ, and this is the greatest treasure. I have been 20 or 25 years ago at Curacao in West Indies & have found also there the family de Rochemont, of the branch of the brother of the father of our grandfather, they had the esentcheon of the family, as with which my letter is sealed, I know not, whether you possess the same, if not, then will I willingly make one for you & send it to you, it is our french esentcheon of nobility; there are also several officers de Rochemont in East Indies, descendants of our uncle Abraham, grand & great grand children. I have found among my papers the certificate of baptism of your father Maximilian Johannes; shall I send it? And now, worthy & dearly beloved nephew & niece shall I close, it is two hours after midnight, , I hope soon again to hear of you & your family & when one of you comes to Halland & to Amsterdam, so is my residence at Amsterdam in the Bantammerstraat, merchant in fuel, porcelain & earthenware& beloved ones, praise to God, that the united states are calmed again; how has my heart beaten when I read in the newspaper the situation of your country & people, what prayers have been sent up to God for you! With fear have I read daily the events in the U. States, now so disunited. But God thanks, he has granted you, God & Jesus Christ might guard you henceforth. O might it happen that we might see us once! But if not on this earth, then above there, where Christ sits at the right hand of his father & where our dear parents, brothers & sisters are, and now worthy & beloved nephew and niece, great all sisters brothers children and other members of your family from me & my dear wife, who is with heart & soul addicted to my dear parents and family, also my brothers & sisters greet all of you, and believe me to be your loving nephew & friend. v. | DEROCHEMONT, Charles Peter Wilhelm (I2184)

| 720 | From https://www.theanneboleynfiles.com/did-henry-viii-father-mary-careys-children/965/ Henry Fitzhugh, who is descended from Catherine Carey, was inspired by “The Other Boleyn Girl” to dig around into his family’s past to see if he really was descended from King Henry VIII. He has written an excellent article on his findings:- http://www.philippagregory.com/documents/Thehistoryofthefitzhughfamily.doc In this article, he makes the following arguments as to why he believes that the Carey children could have been fathered by Henry VIII:- · Henry Carey was said to have resembled Henry VIII. · Henry Carey claimed in 1533 that he was “Our Sovereign Lord the King’s son” · John Hale, Vicar of Isleworth, wrote in 1535 of how a monk at St Bridget’s Priory Abbey had pointed out “yongge Master Care” as being the King’s bastard son. · The fact that Anne Boleyn became Henry Carey’s ward after the death of William Carey - Philippa Gregory reasons that this may have been so that the King had a legitimate heir if she was unable to provide him with a son. · William Carey was rewarded with royal grants in 1524 and 1526, which are thought to have been the birth dates of Catherine and Henry Carey. Fitzhugh feels that the King was compensating Carey for the fact that these were not his biological children and for being a cuckold. Henry Carey · Henry VIII’s admittance of his affair with Mary Carey - Henry VIII admitted “affinity” and “consanguinity” with Mary Carey and Fitzhugh points out that this dispensation probably would not have been necessary if no children had resulted from the relationship. · Both children were born inside the dates of the affair - It is thought that Henry would have expected Mary to be his alone and not to have any lovers, not even her husband. Some people suggest that Henry Carey may have been born after the affair but Catherine was definitely born in the right timeframe. · Elizabeth I had much affection for the Carey children - Henry Carey was knighted by Elizabeth and made Baron Hunsdon. Elizabeth also visited him on his deathbed and gave him the patent and robes of the Earldom of Wiltshire. It is also said that when Elizabeth died, Henry Carey’s son, Robert, received the ring taken from the Queen’s hand. Catherine Carey had attended the Queen, was buried at Royal expense and given a prominent memorial on her death. Could all this suggest that Elizabeth recognised the Careys as more than her cousins? | CAREY, 1ST BARON OF HUNSDON SIR HENRY (Suspected son of Henry VIII) (I8785)

| 721 | From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sutton-131 Sir John De Sutton, Lord of Dudley Castle, Staffordshire, England, from 1326, died about 1359. He married Margaret De Somery, who died in 1384, the Baroness Dudley, sister and heir of John de Somery. From 1316-1320 he was engaged in wars in Scotland, and from 1318-129 he was in the retinue of his brother-in-law, John de Somery. He was accused of complicity in the rebellion of Thomas Earl of Lancaster against the king, and was extorted to give up all his right and interest in the castle and town of Dudley to Hugh le Despencer. In addition he gave up the manors of Sedgley, Swinford and Rowley-Somery, as well as other lands, not obtaining restitution until Edward III became king. He was knighted in 1326.[3] | DE SUTTON, John I (I17200)

| 722 | From L. Vernon Briggs’ History and Genealogy of the Briggs Family: Thomas began to practice law in 1690, and became a lawyer of note, a contemporary of Judge John Cushing, the first, and of Judge Joseph Otis. He was likewise contemporary with the Quaker preacher, Michael Wanton, and although of different religious beliefs, they became very friendly. In 1711 Thomas Turner was a Representative to the Provincial Legislature, and served on various committees. He was a member of the committee for promoting the trade of the Province; to take account with the Treasurer and destroy torn and defaced bills of colonial currency, etc. He was returned as Representative in 1718 and 1719. | TURNER, Thomas (I17715)

He married prior to 1398 Eleanor, daughter of Sir Thomas Drakelowe, Jr., and Ankeret his wife, and died in 1405. His widow then remarried Thomas Chambre of Sprotton, and died between 1445 and 1454. By her William Vaux III. had three children: William Vaux IV., Esq., born about 1400, who married about 1430-35 Maud Lucy, and was Sheriff of Northants in 1436 and Member of Parliament for Northants in 1441; Eleanor, who married about 1429 Thomas Giffard of Twyford, co.

| 726 | From the History of New Hampshire, Volume 1 by Stackpole (1901): Captain Thomas Wiggin came here in 1631 as an agent of the Bristol Company and the town he founded on Dover Neck was first called Bristol as shown on a 1634 map. About 2 years later the Bristol men sold their share of the patent (about 2/3, the other 1/3 owned by Shrewberry) to "lords and gentlemen" in 25 shares. Thomas Wi\ggin continued to be the agent of the company. He returned to England and then to Salem, MA in the ship James, arriving 10 Oct 1633 with about 30 other men. It was the design of Capt. Thomas Wiggin to found a city or compact town on Dover Neck, about one mile north from Hilton's Point. Old deeds mention High street and Low street and Dirty Lane. The location was ideal, commanding a view for many miles around. Each settler had a home lot of three or four acres, while out lots, or farms, were assigned by common consent on the shores of Back River and other streams, easily reached by boat. Soon a meeting house was erected on Low street, to be succeeded by a larger one on High street in 1654, used after 1675 as a fortification. Conspicuous among the first settlers of ancient Dover were Captain Thomas Wiggin, leader and governor of the colony on Dover Neck, who later settled in what is now Stratham, became one of the early judges and founded an extensive and well known family. The settlers of the first four towns believed emphatically in home rule. Their Combinations were mutual consents to selfgovernment. They were in effect little democratic republics, electing their own rulers and making their own laws. They were guided by the known laws and customs of England, adapted to new conditions. In their legislation they tried to express what seemed to the majority to be right. Nothing was done arbitrarily and in the spirit of tyranny. Yet their power was limited and some bold spirits defied their authority. They feared to try capital cases and appealed to Massachusetts to punish some offenders. At least this was the case in Dover, although Captain Thomas Wiggin was politically a Puritan and leaned toward the jurisdiction of the Bay Colony. He may have taken this course as a step toward union therewith. It is certain that the authorities in Boston felt that they had a trustworthy friend in Captain Wiggin and that he would do all in his power to get their claims recognized. JOHN WINTHROP wrote in his Journal, October ii, 1638, "Capt. Wiggin of Pascataquack wrote to the Governor, that one of his people had stabbed another and desired he might be tried in the Bay if the party died. The Governor answered that if Pascataquack lay within their limits (as it was supposed), they would try him." Thus early had the men of Massachusetts Bay begun to claim more than belonged to them. Wlien New Hampshire was swallowed up by Massachusetts the formation of a new county became expedient. Norfolk County was formed May 10, 1643. It consisted of the towns of Salisbury, Hampton, Haverhill, Exeter, Dover and Strawberry Bank, or Portsmouth. The early judges and associates were Francis Williams, Thomas Wiggin, George Smyth, Samuel Dudley, Robert Clements, Ambrose Lane, Brian Pendleton, Henry Sherburne, Major Richard Walderne, Major Robert Pike, Edward Hilton, Richard Cutt, Valentine Hill, and Reynold Fernald. | WIGGIN, Governor Thomas (I1338)

| 727 | From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Mullins_(Mayflower_passenger) In the March 2012 Mayflower Quarterly, noted Mayflower researcher and biographer, Caleb Johnson, presented a hypothesis that William Mullins first married Elizabeth Wood who gave birth to his first four children, and died sometime prior to 1604; whereupon, he married Alice_____ who gave birth to his youngest child, Joseph. In that article, he stated, “I here put together this very speculative hypothesis, and leave it up to future research to determine if there is any further evidence to support, or disprove, this possibility. It should be emphasized that this is a speculative hypothesis based on limited concrete data....”[21] Unfortunately, some have interpreted his hypothesis as factual rather than speculative. It has been nearly ten years since Mr. Johnson wrote that article in the Mayflower Quarterly and in his own words “no additional evidence, supporting or disproving that hypothesis, has been published since that time.”[22] In October 2021, Mr. Johnson added a second paragraph to the profile of Alice Mullins in his website, Mayflowerhistory.com. The profile of Alice Mullins, as it is currently written follows in its entirety: “Little is known about Alice, the wife of William Mullins. She is named only once: in the 1621 will of her husband William Mullins. It is not known if she is the mother of all his children, some of his children, or none of them. There is no evidence she had the Atwood or Poretiers surnames claimed by some 19th and early 20th century authors. “Recent research into her origins, undertaken by Caleb Johnson and Simon Neal, has focused on the Browne, Dendy, Gardinar, Hammon, and Wood families of Dorking and Holy Trinity, Guildford. In 2012 (Mayflower Quarterly, 78:44-57), Caleb Johnson published a speculative hypothesis that William Mullins may have married twice, first Elizabeth Wood, and second Alice, perhaps widow of either William or Thomas Browne (possibly making Alice the mother or aunt of Mayflower passenger Peter Browne). While the speculative hypothesis matches all the known facts, it is by no means proven. No additional evidence, supporting or disproving that hypothesis, has been published since that time.”[22] Accordingly, this section has been revised to remove Elizabeth Wood as his first wife and conform the family to the presentation in Volume 16, Part I of Mayflower Families through Five Generations, commonly referred to as the Silver Books.[23] | UNKNOWN, Alice (I781)

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, Edward (I8062)

| 729 | From: https://www.oocities.org/weallcamefromsomewhere/Kebec/the_bourdons.html There is a lot of confusion over his personal life. Some have even given him three wives (married to two at the same time), and attributed accomplishments long after his death. However, in the days of early settlement, there were two Jean Bourdons, possibly brothers, who were both employed by the Company of 100 Associates. Jean or Jehan (b: 1612 and d: October 23, 1665) was an Attorney, and spent most of his time in France, while Jean-Francois was a Surveyor and former 'doctor' (barber at lowest end of the medical profession). The first was married to Marguerite Legris, but only one son Jacques, would eventually settle in Quebec. His wife and other six children never left Normandy. As for this Jacques; he was born on June 5, 1645 at St. Godard Parish in Rouen, Normandy and died on August 7, 1724 at Boucherville, Quebec. He married Marie Menard, the daughter of the Merchant Jacques Menard and Catherine Fortier. Jacques and Marie had fourteen children.. | BOURDON, Jean (I20244)

They lived on Union Street in Portsmouth before moving to 376 Court St, the house owned by Judge Aldridge of Cambridge. Garland and his wife were caretakers of the Aldridge House and Museum next to theirs. They lived there rent-free with the understanding that the house would be given to Strawbery Banke when they died. Garland had an affair with Mary Blue (spelling unknown). She supposedly worked on the Navy Yard with him. She got pregnant, and Garland brought home the baby for his wife to raise. Daughter Jean did not know about all this until she was a grown woman and did eventually meet the woman who lived somewhere in Massachusetts.

From David Jenkins in response to my questions about the other Ann Gale family in England. I have seen this before, and they may or may not our family , but they do have Ann Gale's death place as Kittery Maine. As the LDS, I'm not sure in which one to believe in Reginald left England and came to America on the 'Agnes' sailed sometime after March 26, 1636, with John Winter, master, and arrived May 24, 1636. The 'Agnes' returned to England in June with a Captain Bowes as master. The passengers were: Reverend Richard Gibson, an Anglican minister from Cambridge, who was at Richmond Island; Arthur Gill of Saltash, Cornwall, at Richmond Island; Peter Gullett, at Richmond Island and died later in 1636; Andrew Heifer, at Richmond Island; Reynold Jenkins, who may have come from Broomfield, Somerset, was at Kittery; and, John Lopes and Tobias Short, who were at Richmond Island and probably returned to England. Reginald was indentured to Winter, fishing on Richmond Island, the men in Winter's employ 'there were forty-seven in 1637'slept in one of these chambers, and each man had his close-boarded cabin or bunk. Reginald was living here on the Newichawannock (South Berwick, Maine) about 1640 Reginald Reynolds Jenkins was affiliated with the Quakers from the beginning of their preaching in Dover, New Hampshire, and Kittery, Maine and he and neighboring 'Friends' (Quakers) were more than once presented at Court for not attending the services of the church on the Lord's Day. Reginald, settled in Kittery, Maine (Eliot, Maine) 1647, and took oath of allegence to Massassachusetts goverment on November 16,1652. As a quaker,in 1652, Reginald was petitioned to be under Massachusetts 'We whose names are written vunder do acknowledg our selves subject to the government of the Massachusetts Bay in New England' maybe his family didn't come to America until he became a freeman, this could cause the confusion, or other poss. is that they reported the births back to England. I have seen this often when two towns or more have been reported to be the birthplace of the same person. So at this time i am sticking with Ann Gale is the wife, Edward and Joan as the parents since the above story (Reynold Jenkins, who may have come from Broomfield, Somerset,) seem to point at this is our true ancestor, [but please continue letting me know more of your theories, because maybe we will solve this | JENKINS, Reynold (I4391)

| 745 | Geoffrey V (24 August 1113 – 7 September 1151) — called the Handsome (French: le Bel) and Plantagenet — was the Count of Anjou, Touraine, and Maine by inheritance from 1129 and then Duke of Normandy by conquest from 1144. By his marriage to the Empress Matilda, daughter and heiress of Henry I of England, Geoffrey had a son, Henry Curtmantle, who succeeded to the English throne and founded the Plantagenet dynastyto which Geoffrey gave his nickname. | PLANTAGENET, Count of Anjou Geoffroy V (I85)

| 746 | George Cleeve was a vintner in England . George emigrated to what is now New England in 1630, settling first in Spurwink, Maine (near today's Cape Elizabeth), and at Falmouth (today's Portland) in 1633. In 1637, Sir Ferdinando Gorges granted George and associate Richard Tucker 1,500 acres at Machegonne (Portland Neck) that included the area of today's downtown Portland. George is known as the father of Portland, and a statue is erected in modern Portland commemorating this. His career was both contentious and litigious, engaged in frequent land disputes and vying with Gorges' Province of Maine for jurisdiction over the area north of Cape Porpoise. In a letter to Governor John Winthrop from a contemporary, he was described as"a firebrand of dissension and hath set the whole Province together by the ears." He married Joan Price in England in 1618; George made several trips back and forth to England during his career and it is unknown on which trip she emigrated. Even before he left England, George was involved in a suit against his father-in-law, John Price. Not muchy is known of Joan's life but she is a docoumented "Gateway Ancestor" to royalty. The early records of Maine are filled with less than admirable descriptives of his nature. His hatred for Ferdinando Gorges, and others of the titled class, was pronounced, and he attempted every coercion possible to defame those who stood in his way, or to misrepresent his aim to others in order to pursue his own gain. That he was initially, to those who knew nothing of his character, persuasive and charming, is apparent, but it was not long before he had alienated every person of power in both Maine and Massachusetts. | CLEEVE, George (I8832)
|
| 747 | George Cleve; Cleeve; Cleaves; CleevesComment:Esquire, as designated in the patent of Gorges to him 27 Jan. 1636, came to New England about 1630. Settled at Spurwink, built a house, planted, etc. having a promise from Gorges of 200 acres of land, as he claimed. In 1632 he bought a share in the patent which Richard Tucker had purchased of Richard Bradshaw. John Winter, as agent of Robert Trelawney, ejected him from the land in 1633, and seized upon his houses. [Testimony in Maine court at Saco June 25, 1641.] He had a lawsuit in court at Saco 25 March, 1636. He visited Boston in 1643 with Mr. Rigby, "a lawyer and a parliament man, wealthy and religious," who had purchased the "Plough Patent"; they sought to obtain the help of Mass. in establishing the claims of that patent; desired to join "the consociation of the United Colonies." [W.] He petitioned the Gen. Court of Mass. 5 (3) 1645, "on behalfe of the people of Ligonia," asking protection against the claims of Mr. Vines and others, basing his claims on the Rigby patent. [Mass. Arch. 3, 179.] As agent of "Collonell Alexander Rigby, President and proprietor for the province of Laconia," he leased lands in 1651. Took oath of allegiance to Mass. govt. 13 July, 1658. As deputy president of the Assembly of Lygonia, 22 (7) 1648, he was chairman of the committee to sit at Richmond Island and report on the estate of Winter. He deeded 20 May, 1658, to his grandchild Nathaniel Mitten, land adjoining that formerly granted to his father Michael M. Was sued by Robert Jordan in 1659, and his goods attached in a rough manner; bed and clothing taken from his sick wife, then 87 years of age. Nathaniel Mitten was alleged by "Richard Powssley of ffalmouth" in 1687, to have been a grandson of Cleve. See also Bradshaw, Bucknall, Jordan, Macworth, Moses, Tucker, Winter. | CLEEVE, George (I8832)

| 748 | George Edwin SHOREY (#525) was born in Lebanon, York Co., ME October 1848. George died 12 August 1864 in Andersonville, GA, at age 15. His body was interred 12 August 1864 in Grave #5405, Andersonville, GA. He answered the call to arms during the Civil War by enlisting on 30 March 1864 as a soldier in the U.S. Army for three years at Concord, N.H. His application states he was born in Rochester. He was described as having dark eyes, brown hair, and dark complexion, and as 5 feet, 4-1/2 inches tall, and 18 years old. He was mustered into Company C of the First regiment of the N.H. Cavalry as a private, commanded by Capt. P.L. Wiggins. Where he served from his enlistment to June 13 is unknown, but we next find him at White Oak Swamp, Cold Harbor, Va. where he was listed as being captured. One account we have seen listed him as being captured "when his horse failed him," but we have no substantiation. Two days later he was confined at Richmond, VA, and then on June 21 he was transferred to Andersonville, a "hell-hole" for the Yankee prisoners. In a memorandum from prisoner of war records No.8519, citing Vol.4, Pages 307 and 531-2, Vol. 17, p.137 and Vol.3, p.276, it is noted that he died in quarters 12 Aug. of diarrhea. His name was erroneously recorded as "Shoritz" in at least one place. | SHOREY, George (I779)

| 749 | George Moses was the founder of the Maine or Scarborough group of the family, and the discovery by Mr. J.M. Moses of the deed of records, which prove it, adds more than a hundred years of American lineage to all of the said group. Records of deeds Vols. 30, 39, 40, 49, and 64 recite that "Josiah Moses, tanner, wife Abigail, and George Moses, cordwainer," owned two small lots on Islington Creek, Portsmouth. They mortgage and redeem these lots, george finally owning one of them. On October 4th 1754, "George Moses of Scarborough, York Co., Mass. (Massachusetts included all of Maine and New Hampshire at the time) cordwainer, and wife Frances" convey the other lot and the house in which Josiah then lived. George Moses removed from Portsmouth and settled on a farm owned by Joseph Prout on Scottow's Hill. Scarborough, Maine (then Massachusetts), in 1754. Scottow's Hill was a landmark and was used in the early surveys, it is but a short distance from the sea, and from the site of the original Moses home, vessels may be seen passing to and from the harbor. | MOSES, George (I8270)

| 750 | George was employed as a Shoemaker in Rochester, NH. He died of carcinoma of the lip. Probably as a result of smoking a pipe. | TUCKER, George W (I1014)
|
| 751 | George's obit is as follows: George W Neill died suddenly this morning at his home, 44 Melbourne Street. He was a native of Newington and the son of Andrew and Amelia (deRochemont) Neill. Mr Neill has been a resident of Portsmouth for the past twenty-five years and was employed in the navy yard as a machinist. He was well liked by his associate workmen who received the announcement of his death with much sorrow. He has been very active in bowling circles for several years and has been affiliated with many of the fast local teams. He thoroughly enjoyed this line of sport and exercise. He was a good workman and had an excellent record in the ranks of the civilian force in the government reservation. He is survived by his wife, daughter Miss Irene Neill, a mother, Mrs Albert Garland, two sisters, Mrs Margaret Provost of Worcester, Massachusetts, Mrs Julia Patch of this city and a brother Roy Neill of Rochester. | NEILL, George Andrew (I945)

|
| 753 | Gilbert de Clare, born in 1180, was a notable figure in medieval England, remembered as the 4th Earl of Hertford and 5th Earl of Gloucester. He was the son of Richard de Clare, 3rd Earl of Hertford, and Amice Fitz William, Countess of Gloucester. Gilbert's life was marked by his involvement in significant historical events, including the Magna Carta and the First Barons' War. Inheriting his father's titles and estates in 1217, Gilbert became one of the most influential and wealthiest nobles of his time. His mother's heritage also brought him the estates of Gloucester and the honor of St. Hilary, along with a portion of the Giffard estates from his ancestor, Rohese Giffard. His holdings and influence were further expanded through his marriage to Isabel Marshal, daughter of William Marshal, one of the most powerful men in England. Gilbert's role in the Magna Carta was significant. In 1215, he and his father were among the barons who became sureties of the charter, a document that sought to limit the powers of the king and establish certain legal protections. His involvement in this pivotal moment in history highlights his status and influence in the political landscape of the time. During the First Barons' War, Gilbert initially supported Louis le Dauphin of France against King John of England. He fought at the Battle of Lincoln under the baronial banner but was captured in 1217 by William Marshal. This capture led to a change in allegiance, and he later married Marshal's daughter, Isabel, on her 17th birthday. Gilbert's military prowess was not limited to the English shores. In 1223, he joined an expedition into Wales and, two years later, was present at the confirmation of the Magna Carta by King Henry III. His leadership and martial skills were again on display in 1228 when he led an army against the Welsh, capturing the notable Welsh leader Morgan Gam. Gilbert's life, however, was not solely defined by warfare and politics. He was also a patron of religious and charitable institutions, a role typical of the nobility of his time. His contributions to the social and religious fabric of his estates were significant, reflecting the responsibilities and interests of a medieval lord. Gilbert de Clare's death in 1230, while on an expedition to Brittany, marked the end of an influential career. His body was returned to England and buried in Tewkesbury Abbey, a testament to his status and the respect he commanded. His legacy continued through his children, who maintained the de Clare family's prominence in English history. Gilbert de Clare's life exemplifies the complex interplay of power, loyalty, and warfare in medieval England. His involvement in key historical events like the Magna Carta and the First Barons' War, combined with his vast estates and influential marriage, cements his place as a significant figure in the history of medieval England. | DE CLARE, Gilbert (I10296)

| 771 | Guillaume Couillard, born around 1591 in either Saint-Malo or Paris, arrived in New France about 1613. A skilled carpenter, seaman, and caulker, Couillard quickly became an integral part of the fledgling colony. His marriage to Guillemette Hébert, daughter of Louis Hébert, the first farmer in New France, in 1621 cemented his place in the colony's history. Guillemette Hébert, born around 1606 in Paris or Dieppe, came to New France in 1617 with her parents, Louis Hébert and Marie Rollet. As one of the first European families to settle permanently in Quebec, the Héberts played a crucial role in the colony's early development. The union of Guillaume and Guillemette on August 26, 1621, officiated by Father Georges, a Recollet priest, and witnessed by Samuel de Champlain, marked the beginning of one of New France's most influential families. They had ten children, whose numerous descendants would form the backbone of French-Canadian society. Following Louis Hébert's death in 1627, Couillard inherited half of his father-in-law's estate. He expanded these holdings and continued Hébert's agricultural innovations. In 1628, Couillard became the first person to use a plough in New France, significantly advancing the colony's farming practices. By 1632, he had nearly 20 acres under cultivation and owned a flour mill by 1639. Couillard's contributions to the colony were numerous and varied. He was appointed as a "clerk responsible for inspecting the sown lands and the food of the settlers of Quebec" in 1639. He also engaged in shipbuilding, lime production, and participated in the defense against Iroquois raids. During the British occupation of Quebec from 1629 to 1632, the Couillards were the only complete family to remain in the colony, demonstrating their commitment to New France. Champlain entrusted them with the care of two young Indigenous girls he had adopted. Guillemette was equally active in colonial life, serving as godmother to numerous children, both French and Indigenous, and participating in various social and religious activities. Her role in maintaining community cohesion during the colony's challenging early years was significant. In recognition of his services to New France, Couillard was ennobled by the king in December 1654. His coat of arms, featuring a dove with an olive branch, symbolized his role as a peacemaker and pioneer. Guillaume Couillard died on March 4, 1663, and was buried in the chapel of the Hôtel-Dieu in Quebec, honoring his contributions to that institution. Guillemette survived him by more than 20 years, continuing to manage their affairs and contribute to the colony's development. In 1666, she sold a significant portion of their land to Bishop Laval for the establishment of the Seminary of Quebec. The legacy of Guillaume Couillard and Guillemette Hébert is immeasurable. Their efforts in agriculture, community building, and defense helped transform New France from a precarious outpost into a thriving colony. Today, their descendants number in the hundreds of thousands, and they are remembered as key figures in the founding of French Canada. A statue of Guillaume Couillard stands near Louis Hébert's monument in Quebec City, a testament to their enduring importance in Canadian history. | HEBERT, Marie Guillemette (I20262)

The chronicler Jan van Boendale writes in his Brabantsche Yeesten that Guy lay wounded and abandoned on the battlefield, until he was discovered by a scavenger the next day, who killed and robbed him. When this plunderer tried later to sell his booty, he was hanged. | LUXEMBOURG-LIGNY, Guy I of (I17301)

| 782 | Hatevil Nutter, originally from Warwickshire, England was in Dover by 1637 when he purchased property, described as being east of Fore River, west of High Street. It is unknown whether Hatevil married Anne Ayers in England or once he was in Dover. Together they had four children and we are descnded on the Laviolette (DeRochemont) side through their son Anthony and also their daughter Mary. In 1647 Hatevil made an agreement with the selectmen of the town to set up a sawmill on the Lamprey River. He was one of the wealthy men of the colony and was largely engaged in the lumber business and in ship building. As an early Elder of Dover's First Church, organized in November 1638, Hatevil was a fervent supporter of the church. Hatevil became known for his strong opposition to the Quaker missionaries Anna Coleman, Mary Tomkins, and Alice Ambrose in 1662, who he believed were spreading harmful teachings. He played a role in their persecution, advocating for their forced removal from Dover. The treatment of these Quaker women was brutal. Richard Waldron, the deputy, ordered them to be stripped, tied to a cart, and whipped through several towns as a punishment for their beliefs. This was done in front of the meeting house, with Hatevil Nutter present, urging on the constables. The account of their suffering is vividly described, highlighting the harshness and cruelty of their persecution. Despite this, the Quaker women endured and sang amidst their pain, astonishing those who watched. This event didn't deter the Quakers. They eventually returned to Dover and successfully established a Quaker church. Over time, a significant portion of Dover's population converted to Quakerism. | NUTTER, Hatevil (I2991)

| 784 | Hawise of Chester, 1st Countess of Lincoln suo jure (1180- 6 June 1241/3 May 1243[1]), was an Anglo-Norman noblewoman and a wealthy heiress. Her father was Hugh de Kevelioc, 5th Earl of Chester. She was the sister and a co-heiress of Ranulf de Blondeville, 6th Earl of Chester. She was created suo jure 1st Countess of Lincoln in 1232.[2] She was the wife of Robert de Quincy, by whom she had one daughter, Margaret, who became heiress to her title and estates. She was also known as Hawise of Kevelioc. | KEVELIOC, Hawise (I10303)

| 788 | He began his reign by ravaging the Britons, probably as an act of vengeance, but his name is also included among a group of northern and western kings said to have made submission to the Anglo-Saxon king Edgar in 973, perhaps at Chester; and the chronicler Roger of Wendover (Flores Historiarum, under the year 975) states that shortly afterward Kenneth received from Edgar all the land called Lothian (i.e., between the Tweed and the Forth rivers). This is the first mention of the River Tweed as the recognized border between England and Scotland. Kenneth was slain, apparently by his own subjects, at Fettercairn in the Mearns. ------- John of Fordun, a 14th-century historian, narrates that Kenneth II, King of Scotland from 971 to 995, sought to alter the royal succession laws. His aim was to ensure his descendants' ascension to the throne, thereby excluding Constantine III and Kenneth III, also known as Gryme. These two, feeling threatened by Kenneth II's plans, conspired against him and roped in Lady Finella, daughter of Cuncar, Mormaer of Angus. Finella had her own vendetta against Kenneth II, who was responsible for her son's death. The Chronicles of the Picts and Scots, compiled by William Forbes Skene, and dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries, corroborate the story of Finella's revenge on Kenneth II. However, these chronicles do not mention her connection to Constantine or Gryme. The Annals of Ulster, on the other hand, simply state that Kenneth II was deceitfully murdered, without specifying the perpetrator. According to Fordun's account, Constantine III and Gryme were relentlessly plotting the king's and his son's demise. Kenneth II, while on a hunting trip near his residence, ventured into the woods and ended up in Fettercairn, where Finella lived. Finella, feigning loyalty, invited the king to her home, claiming she had critical information about a plot against him. She lured Kenneth II into a secluded cottage rigged with a deadly trap: a statue connected to crossbows. When Kenneth II touched the statue, he triggered the crossbows, which fatally shot him from all sides. Finella managed to flee and join her co-conspirators, Constantine III and Gryme. The king's hunting party later found his body but could not capture Finella. In retaliation, they burned down Fettercairn. Historian Smyth regards the intricate plot and the mechanical trap as fictional embellishments but acknowledges the core truth of the narrative: Kenneth II's succession plans ultimately led to his assassination. | SCOTLAND, King Kenneth II of (I7312)

| 789 | He built a house in Billerica which stood there until 1878. He was a leading citizen of Billerica, selectman, town clerk and representative to the general court, captain of the military company. He became a land surveyor and laid out farms, highways and in the book of land grants at Billerica alone his descriptions fill out 200 pages. | DANFORTH, Captain Jonathan (I2660)

| 793 | He first resided at Salem, Massachusetts and later removed to Malden. For a brief period he had a tavern license there, but he was in disfavor of the residents for testifying against Rev. Marmaduke Mathews, and did not prosper in his business, and shortly thereafter removed to Lynn. At Lynn he obtained another license for an ordinary, but shortly after lost that license for committing forgery. | HATHORNE, John (I2953)

| 794 | He had a farm in Lebanon on River Rd. in sight of the bridge over the Salmon Falls River at East Rochester. Roger Gray says the farm was on the corner of the old River Road and the old county road that ran from East Rochester across the bridge over the Salmon Fall River, once called Garland's Bridge, and then east to Sanford, ME. The farm was on the east side of River Rd. and must have run north along the road for about a half mile. A little way up River Rd. on the right (going north) is an old abandoned building on a little rise (if it hasn't been torn down). This was the old school house and was on a lot taken from the farm. He was an elder and preacher (unpaid) of the Free Will Baptist Church. He presided at the marriage of some of his children including Eliza and Jeremiah Shorey. In 1992 an old account book was found in the attic of an old house in Lebanon, ME. The book was in fairly good condition, and Roger Gray and Mabelle Corson were able to borrow it for examination. The book was the property of Rev. Charles Corson, and had been primarily used by him to record the accounts of his customers who had brought wool to be carded in a mill set up by Charles. The mill is described in "The History of East Rochester, NH: by Arlene Stone, as a "grist mill and carding rolls." This was the beginning of the woolen industry in East Rochester. Actuall the mill was erected across the Salmon Falls River from East Rochester in South Lebanon. The earliest date noted in the account book was 1815 and the mill data ends with the terse statement "Factory burned Oct. 18, 1857." Many of Charles Corson's customers paid for his wool carding services by goods and services; very little cash seems to have been available. It was in this mill - about 1841 - that his daughter, Harriet Corson, lost a hand; however, Harriet grew up to become the first school teacher in East Rochester. "The History of East Rochester" states that in about 1847 two local businessmen bought what machinery Corson had, including the set of cards. Two years later they expanded the mill and began manufacture of blankets. This brings into question how long Charles had operated this mill.

| 795 | He is claimed to be a direct descendant of Flavius Afranius Syagrius, being a rare case for descent from antiquity. Bishop and member of the court of the Frankish king Theodebert II of Austrasia, sometimes called Arnuiph or Arnulf of Metz. A noble, Arnulf married Doda, and their son was Ansegisel. Ansegisel married Beggia, the daughter of Pepin of Landen, starting the Carolingian dynasty of France. Doda became a nun, and Arnulf made plans to enter a monastery but was named the bishop of Nletz around 616. He continued his court services, making Clotaire of Neustria the king of Austrasia. He also served as counselor to Dagobert, King Clotaire's son. In 626, Arnulf retired to a hermitage at Remiremont, France. | SAINT AMULF (I7208)

| 799 | He was a great-grandson of King Henry I of France, and half-brother to Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester, Waleran IV de Beaumont, Count of Meulan, and Hugh de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Bedford. Anglo-Norman nobleman who fought in England during the Anarchy and generally remained loyal to King Stephen. He participated in the Second Crusade. | DE WARENNE, William III (I225)

| 800 | He was a member of the family later called the Carolingians and it can be argued that he was instrumental in consolidating their power at the expense of the ruling Merovingian kings of the Franks. He withdrew from public life in 747 to take up the monastic habit, "the first of a new type of saintly king," according to Norman Cantor, "more interested in religious devotion than royal power, who frequently appeared in the following three centuries and who was an indication of the growing impact of Christian piety on Germanic society" | CARLOMAN (I7369)
