909 Hugh de Vere, 4th Earl of Oxford (c. 1200 - December 1263) was the only son and heir of Robert de Vere, 3rd Earl of Oxford and Isabel de Bolebec, daughter and eventual sole heiress of Hugh de Bolebec.

Hugh de Vere was born about 1200. Hugh's mother, Isabel de Bolebec, Countess of Oxford, purchased her son's wardship from the crown for 6000 marks.[1] Hugh did homage to King Henry III in October 1231, and was knighted by the King at Gloucester on 22 May 1233.[2] Two days later the King 'girt him with the sword of the Earldom of Oxford and directed the sheriff to let him have what he ought to have in the name of the Earldom of Oxford as his predecessors had had'.[3]
 
DE VERE, Hugh (I10332)
 
910 Hugh fought on the side of Thomas, 2nd earl of Lancaster, at the Battle of Boroughbridge (16 Mar 1322), where he was taken prisoner and his lands forfeited. He was transferred from Berkampstead prison to Nottingham Castle in 1325, from whence he later escaped. His lands were restored in 1327 and he was made Sheriff of Rutland (1327-47), then appointed Guardian of the Coast of Essex (May 1336). He became 8th Earl of Gloucester in 1337. Hugh took part in the Siege of Dunbar, which continued until 1338 when a truce was made as the besiegers wished to accompany King Edward III on his expedition to France. Hugh was also present at the Battle of Sluys on 24 Jun 1340." (Ref: Maurice Boddy) AUDLEY, 1st Earl of Gloucester, 1st Baron Audley Hugh (I10288)
 
911 Hugh le Bigod, born around 1182 and dying in 1225, was a member of the powerful early Norman Bigod family and played a crucial role in the events surrounding the Magna Carta. He was the eldest son of Roger Bigod, 2nd Earl of Norfolk, and Ida de Tosny.

Hugh's life was marked by his involvement in the baronial opposition against King John of England. In 1215, he was one of the twenty-five sureties of the Magna Carta, a document that sought to limit the powers of the king and establish certain legal protections. His role in this pivotal moment in history highlights his status and influence in the political landscape of the time.

Hugh married Maud Marshal, daughter of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, and Isabel de Clare, around 1206 or 1207. This union brought him closer to one of the most powerful families in England. Together, they had several children, including Roger Bigod, 4th Earl of Norfolk, and Hugh Bigod, Justiciar of England.

Hugh succeeded to his father's estates, including Framlingham Castle, in 1221. He also inherited the positions of Steward of the royal household and warden of Romford Forest, Essex. His tenure as the 3rd Earl of Norfolk was marked by his continued involvement in the political affairs of the realm.

In the years 1221 to 1225, Hugh made various grants and took part in a campaign against Llewelyn of Wales in 1223. On 11 February 1224-5, he witnessed the confirmation of the Magna Carta. Hugh died shortly after, on 18 February 1225. His wife, Maud, survived him and later remarried William de Warenne, 5th Earl of Surrey.

Hugh Bigod's life illustrates the complex interplay of power, loyalty, and rebellion in medieval England. His involvement in key historical events like the Magna Carta and his role as a surety baron reflect his significant role in the struggle for rights and governance during this period.

913 Humphrey de Bohun received many of Robert Bruce's forfeited properties. It is unknown whether Humphrey was a long-time friend or enemy of Robert Bruce, but they were nearly the same age and the lands of the two families in Essex and Middlesex lay very close to each other. After Bruce's self-exile, Humphrey took Lochmaben, and Edward I awarded him Annandale and the castle. During this period of chaos, when Bruce's queen, Elizabeth de Burgh, daughter of the Earl of Ulster, was captured by Edward I and taken prisoner, Hereford and his wife Elizabeth became her custodians. DE BOHUN, Humphrey (I8949)
 
914 Humphrey Wise, the immigrant, was living in Ipswich, Massachusetts in 1635, although we do not know just when he came to America. He had a one acre house lot on the south side of the river, and apparently owned other property. His wife's name was Susanna (Susan), but her surname is not known. Humphrey lived in New England for a short time as he died in 1638; subsequently little information is available about him. He did not leave a will.

After Humphrey's death Susanna married secondly in 1639, Samuel Greenfield of Salem, who was later accused by the court of having taken into his possession without legal order, the property which had belonged to Humphrey. On Jan. 13, 1639, the General Court of Boston ordered the Court at Ipswich "to examine and settle all things belonging to the estate of Humfrey Wisse, including all the land sold and unsold." The Ipswich Court on Jan. 26, 1639, asked for an inventory of the estate which amounted to about 140 lbs. Mr. Greenfield must have been able to convince the court of his honesty, as it approved the sale of the house and land and such other sales as had already been made, and appointed him as administrator of the estate. He gave bond to handle the money and to bring up the five minor children until the boys were 21 and the girls 18 years of age, at which time each was to receive a cretain portion of the estate.

The court further agreed that with the consent of Samuel Greenfield and Susan, his wife, that Benjamin the oldest boy, should be apprenticed to his brother-in-law, Abraham Perkins, for seven years from Sept. 29, 1638. Since the apprenticeship was dated back it is probable that Benjamin had been living with his sister, Mary, since that date.

Humphrey and Susanna had eight children, all or most of whom must have been born in England. We do not have their birthdates or order of their births, except that the last five named were minors at the time of their father's death. The three oldest were apparently married and had received their share of the estate before Humphrey's death.

917 I am ready to definitively say Donald McKenzie is John’s father. When John and Barbara were married, it stated John was from lot 67. So was Donald.

From Wikitree:
There was a Donald McKenzie who owned a Schooner named MARGARET that was registered for all ports of PEI. The vessel was constructed in 1822 and was said to have a crew of three people. Donald was said to be a planter/farmer. The I826024 was the registration number.
Schooner Owner: Index of Surnames from the Ships and Seafarers of Atlantic Canada. CD-ROM. Maritime History Archive, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada.

Also from Wikitree:

The search for the parents of Donald and Margaret MacKenzie has been a long one. We know that they were born in Scotland and immigrated to Prince Edward Island in the early 1800s. We can only confirm one child born in 1844.

We can confirm that three boats from Scotland did arrive in Prince Edward Island in 1803: the "Polly" (April 5, 1803), the "Dykes" (April 7, 1803), and the "Oughton" (Aug 27, 1803). A few MacKenzie's are listed and the father of a Hector MacKenzie was said to have arrived on the Polly. Additionally, there was a "DONALD McKENZIE," known as a successful farmer and blacksmith at Flat River, was born in Lot 60, Prince Edward Island, on May 1, 1840, and is a son of John and Elizabeth (Williams) McKenzie. The father was born in Rosshire, Scotland, and was a passenger on the ship "Polly" in 1803, settling in Lot 6o, Queen’s county, where he followed farming. In 1874 Mr. McKenzie married Miss Christina F. McRae, a daughter of John and Christie (MacRae) MacRae, natives also of Scotland, and who came to Prince Edward Island with Mr. MacRae’s parents on the ship "Polly." The subject’s maternal grandfather Williams was the first land agent for Lord Selkirk in Prince Edward Island. To the subject and his wife have been born the following children: James, at home; John F., deceased; Roderick and Alexander Sinclair, at home; Eliza M. is a physician at Charlottetown; Jane B. is at home; Elsie F. is a student of Prince of Wales College, at Charlottetown; Grace C.; Christie A., deceased; and two who died in infancy. In politics, Mr. McKenzie gives his support to the Liberal party, and in religion is a member of the Presbyterian church. He is industrious and practical in his methods" P&P, Pg. 412 [5]

922 I have surfed & surfed the web trying to find concrete proof to nail down who the parents of Abigail Phillips really were. There is a lot of conflicting info. Some seem to contend that Nicholas Phillips of Weymouth (1611=1672) was the father, and that he may even have married twice. I've seen a death date of 1649 for Elizabeth Jewson. What seems to rule out this Nicholas marrying Hannah Salter (who died in 1696) is that his will does not mention a wife at all. The other issue I had was with Elizabeth being the mother of this Abigail. She would have been at least 48 if not 50 when she gave birth to her. I know it has happened, but really! The attached article seems to shine a light in a different direction. That there were in fact two Nicholas Phillips, one of Weymouth, & the other of Boston, a shopkeeper & victualler. This article states that the Nicholas of Boston was really the father of this Abigail & that he married Salter. Another attached article by a descendant states, "Our grandfather Deacon Nicholas Phillips must be distinguished from Nicholas Phillips of Boston who dies March 15, 1669/70." The two Nicholas theory fits & makes more sense to me so that's what I'm going with... PHILLIPS, Abigail (I8842)

Name: Zebulon CORSON
Sex: M
Birth: 17 JUN 1712 in Dover, Strafford County, New Hampshire 1
Death: 28 APR 1786 in Lebanon, Maine 1
Note:
Zebulon was a laborer, and his wife, Mary, were both of the Somersworth
section of Dover, New Hampshire, sold to Thomas Wallingford of the same
town, for 25 pounds (British) that portion of an 80 acre grant not yet sold or disposed of that had been originally granted to Captain Samuel Tebbets, Mary's grandfather, and conveyed to her father, Samuel Tebbets and inherit-
ed by Zebulon and Mary. The deed was witnessed by G. Wentworth and M.
Hogden. The deed was signed by the 'X' marks of Zebulon and Mary, dated
April 17, 1742 and recorded on February 16, 1745. Zebulon was in the Somersworth Army under the command of Captain Thomas Wallingford as of
July 23, 1746. Zebulon was apparently residing at the time in the Rochester/Somersworth area of Dover, New Hampshire. (Somersworth was
only an administrative district of Dover). He later moved from there and sometime before 1766 was an early settler at Lebanon, Maine. This was
according to the journals of Reverend Isaac Hasey. Hasey was at Zebulon's
on February 4, 1773 and again on February 11, 1773. On April 5, 1773, reference is made to Zebulon having Hasey's horse to go to Pine Hill, in
Berwick, Maine. Zebulon was baptized as an adult by Rev. Hasey on June
27, 1773. Rev. Hasey was at Zebulon's house again on August 2, 1773, to
pray with his sick daughter, Lydia.

924 Ida never married. NUTTER, Ida Antoinette (I10593)
 
925 Ida's husband, Baldwin sold some of his property to the Bishopric of Liège in order to take the cross in the First Crusade. In 1098 he was sent to Constantinople with Hugh of Vermandois after the siege of Antioch, to seek assistance from the Byzantine emperor. He disappeared during a raid by the Seljuk Turks in Anatolia, and was presumably killed.

While on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1106, Ida organized a search for her lost husband in Anatolia but to no avail.

930 Illegitimate, b. Ebenezer Thompson, then took step-father's name, and then legally took his father's name before he married Mary Lord. HILTON, Ebenezer (I6723)
 
931 In 1055 he was allied with Geoffroy Martel, Count of Anjou, against William, Duke of Normandy, and he participated in the siege of Ambrières, a castle built by William on the border of the County of Maine. After returning to Thouars in 1056, he joined the army of the Duke of Aquitaine to fight against the Saracens in Spain. He participated in the capture of Barbastro and brought a rich booty back to his hometown of Thouars.

In 1066, he was in England as part of the invading army of William the Conqueror. At the Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066, he commanded a corps composed of Poitevins, Bretons, and Angevins. Aimery IV did not settle in England, however, but received ample reimbursement and returned to France.

In Thouars, he rebuilt the castle in 1080. Aimery IV was also lord of La Chaize (near La Roche-sur-Yon), where he built a castle and a church dedicated to St. Nicolas.
Early in 1090, he made war on Pierre de Mortagne and took his castle. The Viscount of Thouars was assassinated by two of his own knights in 1093. He was buried in the church of Saint Nicolas in La Chaize. 
AIMERY, IV (I7325)
 
932 In 1096 Fulk wrote an incomplete history of Anjou and its rulers titled Fragmentum historiae Andegavensis or "History of Anjou." The authorship and authenticity of this work is disputed. Only the first part of the history, describing Fulk's ancestry, is still in existance. The second part, supposedly describing Fulk's own rule, has not been recovered. If he did write it, it is one of the first medieval works of history written by a layman.

The younger brother of count Geoffroy III "le Barbu", Fulk rebelled against his brother and captured him in 1067, and then again in 1068, when he imprisoned his brother again (not releasing him until 1096), and assumed control of the Angevin possessions. He persuaded the French king Phillipe I to accept this arrangement by ceding his paternal heritage of Gâtinais to the king. His later years were troubled by rebellion from his elder son Geoffroy (IV) Martel, who predeceased him, and Fulk was succeeded by his second son Foulques V in 1109. 
ANJOU, Fulk IV of (I2226)
 
933 In 1170 Eleanor married King Alfonso VIII of Castile in Burgos.[1] Her parents' purpose in arranging the marriage was to secure Aquitaine's Pyrenean border, while Alfonso was seeking an ally in his struggles with Sancho VI of Navarre. In 1177, this led to Henry overseeing arbitration of the border dispute.[8]

Around the year 1200, Alfonso began to claim that the duchy of Gascony was part of Eleanor's dowry, but there is no documented foundation for that claim. It is highly unlikely that Henry II would have parted with so significant a portion of his domains. At most, Gascony may have been pledged as security for the full payment of his daughter's dowry. Her husband went so far on this claim as to invade Gascony in her name in 1205. In 1206, her brother John granted her safe passage to visit him, perhaps to try opening peace negotiations. In 1208, Alfonso yielded on the claim.[9] Decades later, their great-grandson Alfonso X of Castile would claim the duchy on the grounds that her dowry had never been fully paid.

Of all Eleanor of Aquitaine's daughters, her namesake was the only one who was enabled, by political circumstances, to wield the kind of influence her mother had exercised.[10] In her own marriage treaty, and in the first marriage treaty for her daughter Berengaria, Eleanor was given direct control of many lands, towns, and castles throughout the kingdom.[11] She was almost as powerful as Alfonso, who specified in his will in 1204 that she was to rule alongside their son in the event of his death, including taking responsibility for paying his debts and executing his will.[12] It was she who persuaded him to marry their daughter Berengaria to Alfonso IX of León. Troubadours and sages were regularly present in Alfonso VIII's court due to Eleanor's patronage.[13]

Eleanor took particular interest in supporting religious institutions. In 1179, she took responsibility to support and maintain a shrine to St. Thomas Becket in the cathedral of Toledo. She also created and supported the Abbey of Santa María la Real de Las Huelgas, which served as a refuge and tomb for her family for generations, and its affiliated hospital.[14]

When Alfonso died, Eleanor was reportedly so devastated with grief that she was unable to preside over the burial. Their eldest daughter Berengaria instead performed these honours. Eleanor then went sick and died only twenty-six days after her husband, and was buried at Abbey of Santa María la Real de Las Huelgas.[15] 
ENGLAND, Eleanor of (I871)
 
934 In 1196, she succeeded her father as suo jure 3rd Countess of Salisbury. There is a story that immediately following her father's death she was imprisoned in a castle in Normandy by one of her paternal uncles who wished to take her title and enormous wealth for himself. According to the legend, Ela was eventually rescued by William Talbot, a knight who had gone to France where he sang ballads under windows in all the castles of Normandy until he received a response from Ela

Ela has been described as having been "one of the two towering female figures of the mid-13th century", the other one being Margaret de Quincy, Countess of Lincoln. 
SALISBURY, Ela of (I7238)
 
935 In 1640 Thomas Roberts succeeded Capt John Underhill as the fourth Governor of the Dover colony. Roberts served until the Massachusetts Bay colony achieved its ambition of annexing, in 1642, the Piscataqua River settlements, Dover, Strawberry Bank and Exeter, also Hampton, and making them a part of Norfolk County.

He had a leading part in the formation and establishment, in 1640, of “The Dover Combination,” an improved scheme of local self-government. He was one of 21 of the 42 signers of the Combination agreement in 1641, a protest against annexation to Massachusetts.

Gov Roberts was not of Puritanic mold. He possessed a liberality of thought which led him 20 years later to embrace the teachings of the Quaker missionaries, who had come here early in the ‘60s, and secured a following from among the orthodox Church people, only to be driven out of Dover in mid-Winter under harrowing conditions in accordance with Massachusetts laws against Quakers.

While he sympathized with the missionaries and was fined by being deprived of his cow for attending their meetings and staying away from public worship, his two sons, John and Thomas, both constables, zealously executed their appointed part of Massachusetts’ order expelling the missionaries from its jurisdiction. 
ROBERTS, Sergeant Thomas III (I4056)
 
936 In 1649, Charles was listed as a servant to Noel Juchereau, the New France recruiter who had recruited Francoise's mother to Thomine to come to New France with her two teenaged choldren. GUILBAULT, Charles (I19691)
 
937 In 1653, Jean Valiquet was among the hundred or so young Frenchmen recruited by Paul de Chomedey, Sieur de Maisonneuve, to come to New France. In an initiative dubbed "la Grande Recrue" (the great recruitment), de Maisonneuve travelled through Maine and Anjou to find single young men willing to clear land and become soldiers. Jean and his fellow recruits signed contracts with the Companie de Montréal, which promised them a salary, lodging and food, as well as passage if they chose to return to France. Jean, an armorer and locksmith by trade, signed a five-year contract as a militiaman , at a salary of 80 livres per year. Before leaving, he received 114 livres in advance wages. The objectives of the Grande Recrue were to increase the population of Ville-Marie (present-day Montréal) and protect it from Iroquois attacks.

Jean left France aboard the Saint-Nicolas from the port of Saint-Nazaire on June 20, 1653. Maisonneuve was also on the ship, as was Marguerite Bourgeoys. After some severe ship trouble and a short stay on l’île Saint-Nicolas-des-Défunts, the Saint-Nicolas arrived in Montréal on November 16. Jean completed his five-year engagement and decided to stay in the colony.

938 In 1659 the town granted to Richard Tozier sixty acres adjoining to William Pyles lott above the Salmon falls; Here Tozier had a garrison house, and here, he was killed by Indians 16 Oct. 1675. The house was standing till within half a century. The house occupied by Charles Collins now marks its site. Nathan Lord, who married Martha Tozier, lived there.

Birth: 1631

The first attack in Richard Tozier's house was made 25 Sep 1675 when he was absent and serving in the command of Capt. Wincoll. Two Indians attacked the house that was occupied by 15 women and children. A girl of 18 perhaps a daughter of Richard, closed and held the door while the others escaped through the rear door. The Indians chopped through the door, struck the girl on her head and body with their hatchets and left her for dead while they pursued the escapees. The escapees fled to the neighboring house. A three year old girl did not escape and was murdered. A seven year old girl was carried off into captivity but was returned safely after several months. the wounded child made a complete recovery.

In 1675, Richard Tozier's house was attacked by Indians for the second time and he was murdered. Lieutenant Plaisted and 20 soldiers went out to bring in his body but the Indians were waiting and ambushed them, killng the lieutenant and one son and mortally wounding another. 
TOZER, Richard (I4400)
 
939 IN 1727, Lieutenant Governor Wentowrth granted the charter for the Town of Barnstead to Rev. Joseph Adams and others. At the time it was a complete wilderness with hostile Indians living there, and so no attempt to settle the land was made until 1765.

The Reverand's son Ebenezer was the first person, who with his family, settled in Barnstead (date unknown) on a lot located near the north line of Barrington (now Strafford). The homes of the first settlers were just crude log homes. The cost of the first road built was passed to the charter owners through taxes, and due to the unusually high burden of this, many gave up their rights to the land at that time and had it sold at auction.

In the original charter the settlers were bound to build a meeting house for worship within three years of the Indian hostilities ending, so Rev Adams, who was living in Newington came to the town and selected land for the church. The site was described as "in a valley, near a stream of water, about a mile north of the Strafford line." Rev. Adams gave the first service at the church, and the workmen who had built the log structure attended.

Previously, in 1758 while in Newington, he was one of 8 clergyman selected bu the Congregational Convention to apply to Givernor Wentworth for a charter for a college. This was granted in 1769.

President John Adams, the Reverend's nephew described him "That in conversation he was vain, locquacious, though somewhat learned and entertaining; his sermons were delivered in a beautiful and musical voice, quoting scripture, and preaching without notes.

When Rev. Adams died in 1783, he was the oldest living minister in New England. It was reported in a letter written to President John Adams regarding his uncle's death that the last sermon he had preached was on the topic of peace and he had spoken about how proud he was that his own blood relative had played such a big part in achieving that.

940 In 1900 Elizabeth was called Jennie. She declared that she had been married for 27 years and had had no children. With her was her husband called "Usher" Parsons and adopted daughter Ida May, aged 17. In the New York state census of 1905 Ida was not with the family, but there were two foster children, Henry Maas, farm laborer and aged 17, and Margaret Erbes, servant and aged 17. DEROCHEMONT, Elizabeth Jane Jennie (I897)
 
941 In 1900, Celina was living in South Berwick, Maine. However, it appears that she was counted twice. Once at the home of her parents, and once at the home she shared with her husband and 2 children. Both indicate that she was working as a weaver in a mill.

In 1920, Celina was married and living on Grant Street in South Berwick with her husband, 2 daughters, 4 sons, her brother-in-law, and mother-in-law.

945 In 987, after the death of Louis V, the last Carolingian king of France, Hugh was elected the new king with Adelaide as queen. They were proclaimed at Senlis and blessed at Noyon. They were the founders of the Capetian dynasty of France. Hugh apparently trusted in her judgement and allowed her to take part in government: he proposed her to negotiate for him with the regent of the German Empire, empress Theophanu, committing himself beforehand to their agreement AQUITAINE, Adelaide of (I7296)
 
946 In about 1638 George and Elizabeth (Penn) Wheeler emigrated to America with 3 children, settling in Concord. They had 5 more children born in America. He appears to have been a person of some influence, and his name appears often on town records. He was selectman in 1660. His house lot of 11 acres was at the (present) corner of Main and Walden Streets, and in conjunction with Capt. Timothy Wheeler, who was probably his brother or nephew, he owned a large amount of land in the center of the town including the original part of what is now The Colonial Inn in Concord. He also had land near the "frog-ponds" and at Walden Pond, and at Nut Meadow Brook. WHEELER, George (I20030)
 
947 In an 1865 administration filed in Exeter for her father, Sarah deposed that she was the only child of Carsten de Wit living in this state. Her husband John was the son of William Shannon, superintendant of the alms house at Christian Shore. DE WIT, Sarah Julia (I1608)
 
948 In early September 1666, the Great Fire of London demolished large sections of the City. It's probable that the Perry family decision to emigrate was predicated by the loss of property and livelihood. Watertown as the chosen destination may have been selected because his brother-in-law Nathaniel Holland was already there. PERRY, John (I8678)
 
949 In her court deposition concerning Pickering and Wife v. De Rochemont, Sarah deposed that she came to Demerara circa 1802 as a little girl, lived with the de Wits in one end of the Water Side House so-called after she married Leonard and for about ten months after he died. She then moved up the Demerara River above the tide. She reached it by a row boat, and it took about six hours to reach on a good tide. She then returned to Georgetown after having lived in the country for six months and was appointed mistress of the Free School until she removed to the United States. She had already visited the states once and England once. She also stated that she had three daughters and a son by her first husband.

Sarah sponsored the baptism of Frederick's son William Henry in September of 1829 as Sarah Anderson. Leonard C DeWitt sponsored him as well as did Henry Howes and JA Odde.

I think it is her daughter who married Carsten B De Witt.

951 In January 1141, Earl Ranulf and Countess Matilda were at Lincoln Castle when it was besieged by the forces of King Stephen of England. The following month, a relief army loyal to Empress Matilda and led by her father Robert earl of Gloucester defeated and captured the king in the fierce fighting, later known as the First Battle of Lincoln. In return for his help in repelling the king's troops, the countess's father compelled her husband to swear fealty to Empress Matilda, who was Earl Robert's half-sister. GLOUCESTOR, Maude of (I7562)

954 In Sally Ann's death notice it specifically notes that she is a duaghter of the late Ebenezer Adams of Barnstead.

In the article that describes her deat, it says she left her mother, a sister, and several brothers.

Sally Ann's death was by drowning. She was out with friends and had gone to Wood Island (Portsmouth/Newington) in 2 boats. Coming back Sally Ann was in the smaller boat with 2 young men and two other females. It capsized and she sank and drowned. The others barely escaped. Going out she had gone in the larger boat, but coming back she wanted to be in the smaller boat as she said it went faster.

968 In the early 1300s, the Twyford family's status and wealth significantly expanded due to the marriage of Sir John Gifford le Boef to Alexandra de Gardinis. Alexandra, as the heiress of the De Gardinis family, brought with her a portion of the lands belonging to the old Norman lineage of De Arsic. This family's history traces back to one of its co-heiresses, Alexandra's great grandmother, who was a descendant of William de Arsic. William de Arsic was notably one of the eight knights assigned by William de Fiennes to oversee Dover Castle during the reign of William the Conqueror. This union thus not only linked the Twyford family to notable historical figures but also considerably enhanced their landholdings and influence.

969 In the early 17th century, a Nipissing woman, whose name is not recorded in historical documents, became the mother of Euphrosine-Madeleine Nicolet, born around 1628. This woman was a member of the Anishinaabe people, specifically the Nipissing, who inhabited the area around Lake Nipissing in what is now northern Ontario.

As a Nipissing woman, she would have been an integral part of her community. Her daily life likely involved gathering food, preparing meals, and crafting clothing from animal hides. The Nipissing were known for their extensive trade networks and their strategic location between the Ottawa River and the Great Lakes.

Her relationship with the French explorer and interpreter Jean Nicolet resulted in the birth of Euphrosine-Madeleine. This union occurred during a period of increasing contact between the Nipissing people and European settlers, particularly French traders and explorers.

Jean Nicolet's decision to bring Euphrosine-Madeleine back to Quebec occurred around 1633 or 1634, when he returned to the French settlements after his extended stay with the Nipissing and other Indigenous peoples. Nicolet had spent many years living among various Indigenous groups, learning their languages and customs, which made him a valuable interpreter and diplomat for the French. When he was recalled to Quebec by Samuel de Champlain to assist in colonial affairs, Nicolet chose to bring his young daughter with him. This decision was likely influenced by several factors, including his own cultural background, the colonial policies of the time that encouraged the assimilation of Indigenous children, and possibly a desire to provide his daughter with opportunities within French society.

The decision for Euphrosine-Madeleine to be raised and educated in Quebec among the French settlers raises questions about the mother's perspective and wishes. While we cannot know her thoughts with certainty, it's important to consider the complex factors that might have influenced this decision:

Cultural values: The Nipissing people placed great importance on their traditions, language, and community life. Education within the Nipissing community would have focused on traditional skills, spiritual practices, and oral histories.

Maternal concerns: The separation from her daughter and the potential loss of Nipissing cultural identity through French education may have been significant worries for the mother.

Pragmatic considerations: Despite potential concerns, she might have recognized the opportunities that a French education could provide, including economic prospects and the ability to navigate both French and Indigenous societies.

Safety and stability: Given the conflicts of the time, including the Beaver Wars and Iroquois attacks, the French settlement might have been seen as a safer environment for her daughter.

The arrival of French settlers brought significant changes to the Nipissing way of life, including intensified participation in the fur trade, exposure to new goods and technologies, and pressures of cultural assimilation. Epidemics introduced by Europeans also had devastating effects on the Nipissing population.

While her name may be unknown, the story of Euphrosine-Madeleine's mother provides insight into the complex dynamics of cultural exchange and adaptation in early colonial North America. Her experience reflects the challenges faced by Indigenous women during this period of significant social and cultural change.

970 In the early 17th century, Henry Donnell emerged from the church and borough records of Barnstable, Devon, as a man embroiled in legal disputes. By 1631, his name, alongside George Jewell's, became a fixture in these records. Little did he know that his life would soon intertwine with the vast landscapes of New England and the bustling life of a fisherman and innkeeper.

Henry's journey to New England likely began around 1631, possibly on a fishing voyage with George Jewell. By 1635 or 1636, he found himself in York, Maine, a world away from his English roots. Here, Henry transitioned from a fisherman, at times partnering with Sampson Angier, to an innkeeper, a role that would define much of his life in the New World.

His inn, strategically located on the road from York Street to Stage Neck, became a hub for transient fishermen and travelers. By 1649, Henry was recognized in the community, paying an excise tax for drawing liquor, a testament to the bustling nature of his establishment. His entrepreneurial spirit also led him to establish a fishery on Bragdon's Island.

For about 18 years, Henry lived and managed a fishing enterprise on Jewell's Island in Casco Bay, which he acquired shortly after Jewell's death in 1638. Meanwhile, his wife, Frances, adeptly ran the inn back in York. Their partnership was a blend of business acumen and resilience, with Frances even taking over the management of a neighboring inn at one point.

The couple's life was not without its challenges. Court records indicate that Henry and Frances lived apart prior to 1667, with Frances authorized to retain earnings from her own industrious management of the inn. In 1671, she was noted for furnishing beer for the county courts, further highlighting her role in the community.

Henry's life was deeply intertwined with the community of York. He served as a juror and selectman multiple times, reflecting his standing in the town. His oath of allegiance to Massachusetts in 1652 marked his commitment to his new homeland.

Despite the challenges, including disagreements over land divisions and the turbulent times of King Philip's War, Henry and Frances carved out a life of significance in early American history. Their story, from the records of Barnstable to the shores of Maine, paints a vivid picture of resilience, adaptability, and the pursuit of opportunity in a new world.

973 In the History and Genealogy of the Barnstead Early Families, Stuart Merrill asserted that Dependence Colbath was the son of Benjamin Colbath. This is incorrect. He is the son of James and Olive (Leighton) Colbath and Benjamin was his uncle. Benjamin did have a son named Dependence, but he was at leas 15 years younger than "our" Dependence and he also moved to New York state, where he died in 1840.

In 1816, Dependence and Eeleanor lived on lot 13, 1st division, below Roy Witham's property. In 1808, he owned lot 58, 1st division.

According to the census, in 1790, Dependence Colbath's family was the only Colbath family in Barnstead. There were nine people in the household; two males over 16, one under 16, and 6 females (one would have been Eleanor). So, Dependence probably had 2 sons and 5 daughters, although birth records have proved impossible to find. Unforunately, many of Barnstead's records were lost in a fire, so these may have been among them.

978 In the Stoneham city directories 1913-1917, Roy and Susan were at 29 1/2 Pond St and he was a machinist. In 1931 Mrs Sue Neill was a shoe worker who lived at 10 1/2 Flint Ave.

On his divorce record, Roy was the libelant. At that time Susan was of Stoneham, Massachusetts. In 1923 he took a job in Laconia selling cars. He lived, however, in Farmington for a long time.

His funeral notice in the Exeter Newsletter is as follows: Funeral Services Held for Roy V Neill of Epping. Roy V Neill, aged 73, of Main St, Epping, died June 15 at Exeter Hospital after a long illness. He was a native of Newington and had formerly lived in Farmington and had lived in Epping for three years. He leaves his wife, Mrs Ruby May Neill. A high mass of requiem was held on Saturday morning at St Joseph Church, Epping, conducted by the pastor, Reverend. Louis Langevin. Burial took place in Farmington Cemetery where Reverend Fr. Langevin said the prayers at the grave.

Roy's WW II registration in 1942 showed that he lived at 9 Orange St in Farmington. He had gray hair, ruddy complexion and blue eyes. He was 5' 7" and weighed 190 pounds. His contact was Lucina Neill of Farmington.

His WW I registration gave the same physical description other than his hair was black. He worked as an auto mechanic for Henshaw Motors, Beacon St, Boston. He listed as dependents a wife and a child, neither by name.

979 In the tumultuous era of King Philip's War, a period marked by violent conflicts between Native American tribes and English settlers, the story of Ann Mitton Brackett and her family stands out as a remarkable tale of resilience and survival.

Ann Mitton, a granddaughter of George Cleeves, one of the earliest settlers and founders of Portland, Maine, then known as Casco, was married to Anthony Brackett. They lived on a farm along Back Cove, near the area that is now home to Deering Oaks and the University of Southern Maine campus. This picturesque region, with its abundant natural resources, was also a flashpoint for the escalating tensions between the English settlers and the Native American tribes.

The Bracketts, like many settlers, were caught in the crossfire of these growing hostilities. Their lives were upended in August 1676 when Simon, known as "the Yankee Killer," a Native American who had escaped from captivity in Massachusetts, led a war party in a surprise attack against Casco. The Brackett family, including Ann and Anthony, their children, and a slave, were captured during this raid.

The capture of the Brackett family was a harrowing experience, but it was Ann's ingenuity and skills that turned the tide. Known for her adeptness in needlework, Ann played a crucial role in their escape. She skillfully repaired a damaged canoe, which the family then used to navigate across Casco Bay. This daring escape was a testament to Ann's resourcefulness and determination to save her family from captivity.

After a perilous journey across the bay, the Brackett family reached Black Point. There, they found a vessel bound for Piscataqua, which offered them safe passage and a route to freedom. This escape was not just a physical journey but also a symbol of the resilience and courage that many settlers had to summon in the face of adversity.

The story of Ann Mitton Brackett and her family is set against the backdrop of King Philip's War, a conflict that had far-reaching consequences for both the Native American tribes and the English settlers. The war, characterized by its brutality and the profound sense of fear it instilled in the communities, marked a significant chapter in the history of New England.

Ann Mitton Brackett's story is a poignant reminder of the individual struggles and acts of bravery that occurred during this turbulent period in American history. Her actions not only ensured the survival of her family but also left a legacy of courage and resilience that continues to be remembered and honored. 
MITTON, Anne (I8826)
 
980 In the wilderness of New France, around 1628, Euphrosine-Madeleine Nicolet was born, daughter of the French explorer and interpreter Jean Nicolet and a Nipissing woman whose name has been lost to history.

As one of the first known French-Canadian Métis, Euphrosine-Madeleine's early years were likely spent in the Nipissing territory, immersed in her mother's traditions. However, her father, recognizing the importance of education in the burgeoning colony, brought her to Quebec while she was still young. There, at the Jesuit mission in Sillery, she was introduced to Christianity and the French way of life, beginning a lifelong journey of navigating between two worlds.

At the age of fifteen, Euphrosine-Madeleine married Jean LeBlanc, a French settler. Over the next two decades, she bore five children, experiencing both the joys of motherhood and the heartbreak of losing two infants. Tragedy struck again in 1662 when her husband was killed by the Iroquois, leaving her a widow with three surviving children.

In 1663, she married Elie Dussault dit Lafleur, a sailor. Together, they had four sons, expanding her already diverse family.

Throughout her life, Euphrosine-Madeleine was an integral part of the Quebec City community. Her mixed heritage, while presenting challenges in a society grappling with cultural differences, also positioned her as a living bridge between the Indigenous and French worlds. She likely faced prejudices, but her successful marriages and large family suggest a level of acceptance within the colonial society.

On September 30, 1689, Euphrosine-Madeleine's remarkable life came to an end in Quebec City. She left behind a legacy that speaks to the complex social dynamics of 17th-century New France and the pivotal role played by Métis individuals in shaping early Canadian society.

984 Ingegerd was declared a saint, by the name of St. Anna, in Novgorod and Kiev. The reason was that she initiated the building of the Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kiev as well as the local version, the Saint Sophia Cathedral in Novgorod, along with many good doings.

The following was stated by the church in reference to her sainthood:

St. Anna, Grand Duchess of Novgorod, She was the daughter of Swedish King Olaf Sketktung, the "All-Christian King," who did much to spread Orthodoxy in Scandinavia, and the pious Queen Astrida. In Sweden she was known as Princess Indegard; she married Yaroslav I “the Wise“, Grand Prince of Kiev, who was the founder of the Saint Sophia Cathedral in 1016, taking the name Irene. She gave shelter to the outcast sons of British King Edmund, Edwin and Edward, as well as the Norwegian prince Magnus, who later returned to Norway. She is perhaps best known as the mother of Vsevolod of , himself the father of Vladimir Monomakh and progenitor of the Princes of Moscow. Her daughters were Anna, Queen of France, Queen Anastasia of Hungary, and Queen Elizabeth (Elisiv) of Norway. The whole family was profoundly devout and pious. She reposed in 1050 in the Cathedral of Holy Wisdom (St. Sophia) in Kiev, having been tonsured a monastic with the name of Anna.

986 Inquisitions Post Mortem:

Inquisition in Preston by Faversham, Kent (1394): An inquisition was held in Preston by Faversham, Kent, on the Thursday before November 20, 1394. The jurors reported that Sir Thomas Giffard, a knight, owned half of a property called Jardynes in Leisdon, Isle of Sheppey. This property was held directly from the King and was valued at 10 shillings annually. Sir Thomas Giffard passed away on September 25, 1394. His son and heir, Roger Giffard, was over 26 years old.

Inquisition in Burcestre, Oxford (1394): Another inquisition took place in Burcestre, Oxford, on the Monday before November 11, 1394. The jurors stated that Sir Thomas Giffard held half of the manor of Somerton from the King, valued at nearly 20 marks. He also jointly held with his wife Sybil (who was still alive) half of the manor of Firyngford, valued at 12 marks annually. Additionally, he owned properties in Bekbrok and Newenton Jewell, valued at 5 and 7 marks yearly, respectively. Sir Thomas died on September 29, 1394, and his son Roger was his next heir, aged over 27 years.

Inquisition in Hertaye by Faversham, Kent (1360): An inquisition in Hertaye by Faversham, Kent, on December 29, 1360, discussed a proposal for John Giffard to transfer a 5-mark rent in Leisdon to his son Thomas and Elizabeth de Musenden, with future rights to John's heirs. This rent was part of the barony of Arsyk and held from the King.

Inquisitions in Ixning, Suffolk, and Oxford (1360): Similar inquisitions in Ixning, Suffolk, and Oxford in December 1360, addressed John Giffard's assignments of the manor of Ixning and his properties in Somerton and Feringford, Oxfordshire, to his son Thomas and others, with various conditions for inheritance and rights.

Inquisition in Dadyngton, Oxford (1367/8): An inquisition in Dadyngton, Oxford, on January 4, 1367/8, discussed granting John Gifford permission to transfer lands in Feryngford and part of the manor of Feringford to Thomas Giffard and Margery his wife. These lands were held from the King and were part of a knight's fee. John Gifford also held other properties in Somerton.

These inquisitions provide a detailed account of the land holdings and familial relationships of the Giffard family in the 14th century, reflecting the complex system of land tenure and inheritance during that period.

John Emery, born on September 29, 1598, in Romsey, Hampshire, England, embarked on a significant journey to the New World with his family. He, along with his wife Alice Grantham and their children, accompanied by his brother Anthony Emery, set sail from Southampton on April 3, 1635, aboard the ship "James." They arrived in Boston on June 3, 1635, and soon after, John settled in Newbury, Massachusetts.

In Newbury, John was granted a half-acre of land at the Lower Green for his house. He quickly became an integral part of the community, becoming a freeman in 1641. He was recognized as one of the ninety-one proprietors with rights in Newbury's common lands. His involvement in the community extended to participating in a committee in 1645, tasked with constructing a grist-mill in Newbury. Despite the town's offer of £20, ten acres of upland, six acres of meadow, and tax exemption, the mill's construction was delayed.

John Emery faced legal issues in 1663 for entertaining Quakers, a controversial act at the time. He was fined £4 and court costs for his hospitality towards them. He passed away on November 3, 1683, in Newbury.

John Emery Jr., born around 1628 in Romsey, Hampshire, England, accompanied his father to Newbury in 1635. In 1644, he was granted eighty acres of upland near Merrimack River.

993 Isabella was slender and pale-skinned, although the fashion at the time was for blonde, slightly full-faced women, and Isabella may well have followed this stereotype instead.[14] Throughout her career, Isabella was noted as charming and diplomatic, with a particular skill at convincing people to follow her courses of action.[15] Unusual for the medieval period, contemporaries also commented on her high intelligence.[16] FRANCE, Isabella of (I7613)

996 It has been suggested that Charles' nickname was used ironically and not descriptively; i.e. that he was not in fact bald, but rather that he was extremely hairy CHARLES, II (I229)
 
997 It is uncertain when John Gee came to New England. There was a John Gee who at age 18 came in the ship Transport in 1635, but there is no evidence that this is the same person. There was a Peter Gee, fisherman, living at the Isles of Shoals in 1653, and was of Boston in 1667; he may have been a brother of John. John Gee and Hazelelponi Willix married in Boston, Massachusetts by 1662. GEE, John (I19424)
