101	I7345	ANJOU	Fulk III of	970	1040	0	Celebrated as one of the first great builders of medieval castles. He constructed an estimated 100 of them, along with abbeys, across the Loire Valley in what is now France. He fought successive wars with neighbors in Brittany, Blois, Poitou and Aquitaine and traveled four times to Jerusalem on pilgrimage during the course of his life. Fulk was a natural horseman and a fearsome warrior, with a keen sense of military strategy that saw him get the better of most of his opponents. Fulk was also a devout Christian, and built, enlarged or endowed several abbeys and monasteries, such as the Abbey of Beaulieu-les-Loches, Saint-Florent-le-Vieil, Saint-Aubin, and a convent, Notre Dame de la Charité at Ronceray in Angers. Although he never learned to write, he endowed a school with revenue to provide poor students with an education. Fulk also undertook four pilgrimages to Jerusalem.	tree1
102	I2226	ANJOU	Fulk IV of	1043	14 Apr 1109	0	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.	tree1

He served King Sigbert III of Austrasia (634-656) as a duke (Latin dux, a military leader) and domesticus. He was killed sometime before 679, slain in a feud by his enemy Gundewin. Through his son Pepin, Ansegisel's descendants would eventually become Frankish kings and rule over the Carolingian Empire.	tree1

With the support of the duke of Normandy, the count of Anjou, and the count of Flanders, Henry overthrew his brother. Crowned Henry I, he then pardoned Robert and granted him the duchy of Burgundy. In the meantime, however, the conflict weakened the French monarchy.	tree1

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.

126	I19813	AUSTIN	Elizabeth	1636	9 Feb 1704	0	Elizabeth Dicer, born Elizabeth Austin around 1650, found herself in the midst of the Salem Witch Trials, a period that cast a shadow over her family and the entire community of Cape Ann, Massachusetts. Her life, intertwined with the Tarr family through her daughter's marriage to Richard Tarr, was deeply affected by the hysteria that swept through the region. Elizabeth married William Dicer on November 20, 1664, in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony. The couple had two daughters, Elizabeth and Honnor. The family's life in Gloucester was typical of the era, marked by the hardships of colonial living and the ever-present fear of the unknown. This fear manifested dramatically in 1692 when the Salem Witch Trials began. As the witchcraft hysteria intensified, Elizabeth Dicer was accused alongside another Gloucester woman, Margaret Prince. On September 3, 1692, a warrant for their arrest was issued, and they were taken into custody two days later. Elizabeth's reputation had been marred by previous fines for slandering Mary English's mother, calling her "a black-mouthed witch and a thief." This history only fueled the suspicions against her. During this tumultuous period, Elizabeth's son-in-law, Richard Tarr, found himself in a challenging position. The Tarr family, like many others in Cape Ann, did not escape the widespread panic. In July 1692, Ebenezer Babson, a neighbor, and his family were tormented by mysterious nightly disturbances, leading to accusations of witchcraft against several local women, including Elizabeth Dicer. Richard Tarr's courage and sense of justice were evident when he signed a bond on December 15 for Elizabeth and another local victim of the witch trials. This act, during a time of public hysteria, is the earliest surviving document confirming his residency in Gloucester and highlights his bravery in standing against the tide of fear and suspicion. Elizabeth Dicer was eventually released on bond and never brought to trial, a stroke of luck in an era when such accusations often led to execution. She lived until February 9, 1704, witnessing the end of the witch trials and the release or acquittal of many of the accused. Elizabeth's experience during the Salem Witch Trials serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of mass hysteria and the importance of justice and due process. The story of Elizabeth Dicer and the Tarr family remains a poignant chapter in the history of Cape Ann and the Salem Witch Trials.	tree1

132	I16570	AYRES	John	Aft 1615	2 Aug 1675	0	John Ayres, born around 1615-1625 in England, was a notable figure in the early history of colonial America. His journey from England to the New World was driven by the same quest for religious freedom and opportunity that motivated many of his contemporaries during the period of the Great Puritan Migration. Upon settling in Ipswich, Massachusetts, John quickly integrated into the community, contributing to its growth and development. His marriage to Susanna Symonds solidified his position in the community, and together they raised a family, adapting to the challenges of life in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. John's life in Ipswich was marked by his active involvement in the community. He was known for his work ethic and commitment to the burgeoning town. However, the relative peace of his life in Ipswich was starkly contrasted by the events that unfolded during King Philip's War, a brutal conflict between Native American tribes and English settlers. In the summer of 1675, John Ayres found himself in the midst of this conflict. He was part of a group led by Captain Edward Hutchinson and Captain Thomas Wheeler, tasked with negotiating with the Nipmuck tribe. The delegation, seeking to ease tensions and find a peaceful resolution, traveled to a prearranged meeting spot near a swamp. However, the meeting turned into an ambush by the Nipmuck warriors, leading to a violent skirmish. John Ayres was among the eight men killed in this unexpected attack. The death of John Ayres had significant repercussions. Following the ambush, the survivors, including the wounded Captain Wheeler, retreated to Brookfield. In a desperate bid for safety, they gathered in John Ayres' tavern, which served as a makeshift fort. This building became a crucial stronghold for the settlers during the Siege of Brookfield, one of the key events of King Philip's War. The siege saw the settlers, including women and children, barricaded inside John Ayres' tavern, defending themselves against continuous attacks by the Nipmuck warriors. The tavern, being one of the sturdiest structures in the town, provided crucial refuge during this critical time. The occupants endured days of assault, with limited supplies and under constant threat, until they were eventually relieved by a colonial militia. John Ayres' untimely death and the subsequent siege at his tavern highlight the volatile and dangerous nature of life on the colonial frontier. His story is emblematic of the struggles and conflicts that characterized the early years of American colonization. The legacy of John Ayres is not only in his personal contributions to his community but also in the pivotal role his tavern played during a critical moment in the history of Brookfield and the broader context of King Philip's War.	tree1

145	I18064	BANNE	Marie Gillette	1632	9 Jun 1672	0	The Tragic Tale of the Bertault Family: In 1672, in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, a family was ensnared in a desperate situation that led to a harrowing series of events. At the heart of this story were Gillette Bonne, her husband Jacques Bertault, and their young daughter Elizabeth. Elizabeth, at the tender age of 12, was married to Julien LaTouche, a man 18 years her senior. This union, marked by a significant age gap, soon turned into a nightmare for Elizabeth. LaTouche, known for his heavy drinking, subjected Elizabeth to physical abuse and failed to provide for her basic needs. Elizabeth often found solace and sustenance at her parents' home, escaping the torment of her marital life. Witnessing their daughter's suffering, Gillette Bonne and Jacques Bertault were driven to a state of desperation. In an attempt to rescue Elizabeth from her abusive husband, they resorted to a drastic and fatal measure. With what appeared to be Elizabeth's tacit approval, they poisoned Julien LaTouche. However, when the poison did not yield the intended result, they resorted to killing him by beating him with a garden hoe The murder of Julien LaTouche led to the arrest and trial of Gillette Bonne, Jacques Bertault, and Elizabeth. The trial revealed the extent of the family's turmoil and the desperate measures they took. Gillette Bonne and Jacques Bertault were sentenced to death by hanging, but their punishment was to be preceded by a public act of penance. They were required to beg for forgiveness on the church steps, a symbolic gesture of atonement for their crime. As further punishment, Jacques Bertault was subjected to having his arms and legs broken. This brutal punishment was not only inflicted upon Jacques but was also a psychological torment for his wife and daughter, who were forced to witness it. After this spectacle, Jacques was hanged, followed by the hanging of Gillette Bonne. Elizabeth, spared from execution due to her young age, was subjected to the traumatic experience of witnessing the execution of both her parents. This story is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of life in New France and the extreme measures to which individuals were sometimes driven in the face of desperation and despair. It paints a vivid picture of life and justice in 17th-century Canada, and the murder and subsequent trial marked a significant moment in the region's history.	tree1

152	I7746	BARNES	JOHN	1608	Bef 30 Aug 1671	0	Man of high social standing but in court a lot; dark side to him and at odds with authority figures. Frequent drunkenness. From GMB (p102): "John Barnes appeared in the court records constantly, giving us a detailed view of a complicated personality. He was a man of high social standing, for he was frequently referred to as "Mr.," and he was a man of wealth who engaged in mercantile activity. But there was a dark side to his character, which placed him constantly at odds with the authorities, and prevented him from taking the place in Plymouth society which should have been his based on his wealth and social standing." "His trading activities are seen on occasion as the records of normal transactions [e.g., PCR 1:9, 13, 138, 2:31, 54], but more frequently when he engaged in some practice which the General Court deemed illegal, or at least unfair." 1 Dec 1640: presented [to court] "for exaction in taking rye at four shillings per bushel, and selling it again for five without adventure or long forbearance in one and the same place" (found not guilty) [PCR 2:5] 2 Mar 1640/1: presented "for selling black and brown threads at five shillingsn, four pence per lb."; (found not guilty) [PCR 2:12); see more examples at PCR 7:120-22. "John Barnes was also in court frequently as either plaintiff or defendant in civil suits, usually over debts arising from his business activities. These cases cover a period of thirty years from 1636 to 1667... "... Barnes was occasionaly in court under accusation of having slandered one of his neighbors. On 9 Jun 1653: accused Winifred Whitney of lying but was unable to bring forth proof and acknowledged his fault in making the accusations. [PCR 3:38] On 1 Mar 1663/4 Samuel Allin complained that Barnes had defamed him by stating that he was one of three men who might have been the father of the child of William Newland's daughter; Barnes wrote an apology, exaplining that he was merely passing on a rumor. [PCR 7:114]" "Evidence of his wealth ay also be seen in the frequency with which he was acquiring the time of servants from other men, or otherwise involved in disputes over his servants... "Another side of John Barnes may be seen in the frequency with which he was called on by others to stand surety for them when they had problems, as on 16 April 1639 when he posted bond for L20 for Richard Derby when he was accused of poisoning John Dunford [PCR 1:121]... "The worst of the difficulties encountered by Barnes were the frequent occasions when he was presented at court for drunkenness... [1638, 1642, 1650, 1652/3, 1659] ... on 10 Jun 1661 the Court ordered that the 'ordinary keepers of the town of Plymouth are hereby prohibited to let John Barnes have any liquors'... under penalty of 50s fine.[PCR 3:219] More: http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/plymouth/BARNES2.htm The following is purely the speculation of one of the researchers, some based on fact, and some based on wild imagination. This should not be used for purposes of reference or research: Given to both "civil" and "less civil" interactions, John Barnes dealt with all walks of life in Plymouth Colony. He was a businessman in the truest sense, even in today's terms. He had enough gumption and gall to poison a snake, and still have some left over to pass around the room (who else would "pet" a bull; granted, the bull "stroked" him back). When refinement was demanded, Barnes was there to muddle through, but he was also a man given to the "darker byways" of colony life,(26) a lover of drink and pipe. Barnes gives us a glimpse at a Plymouth reality that our eyes have not been trained to see.	tree1

156	I3909	BARRON	Ellis	1605	30 Oct 1676	0	Ellis Barron Sr. was born around 1605 in England and died on October 30, 1676, in Watertown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. His first marriage was to Grace, with whom he had several children. He later married Hannah or Anne (Hammond) Hawkins, a widow, on December 14, 1653, in Watertown. Ellis Barron Sr. immigrated to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, likely shortly before he became a freeman in Watertown on June 2, 1641. He served as a constable in 1658 and as a selectman in 1668 and 1673. In Watertown, Ellis owned a homestall of ten acres and was involved in various community roles. His will, dated October 26, 1676, and proved on December 19, 1676, mentions his wife, seven children (Ellis, John, Moses, Mary, Susanna, Hannah, and Sarah), a granddaughter Elizabeth Barron, and a male Negro servant. The will also references an agreement made with his wife at the time of their marriage regarding her return to her properties if he died first. Ellis Barron Sr.'s children were mostly born before 1640, the date of his immigration. His children include Mary Barron, who married Daniel Warren; Ellis Barron Jr., who married Hannah or Anna Hawkins and later Lyda (Prescott) Fairbanks; Susanna Barron, who married Stephen Randall; Hannah Barron, who married Simon Coolidge; John Barron, who married Elizabeth Hunt; Sarah Barron, who married Phesant Eastwick; and Moses Barron, who married Mary Learned. The inventory of Ellis Barron Sr.'s estate included various items such as barber instruments, books of divinity and physic, and a Negro valued at twenty pounds. His wife Hannah's will, dated August 18, 1683, also mentions Ellis and their Negro servant Shippio. Ellis Barron's origins have been disputed, with some sources claiming he was from Ireland and descended from a noble family. However, these claims are considered unproven and unlikely, as they are based on information from a known forger of pedigrees, Albert Welles. Therefore, Ellis Barron's exact origins remain uncertain.	tree1

158	I933	BASS	Deacon Samuel	Abt 1600	30 Dec 1694	0	Samuel Bass, came to New England with his wife Anne, and probably one or two young children, among the first settlers of the Massachusetts colony about 1630, or soon after, and settled in Roxbury. Their names were enrolled among the earliest members of the first church in that town, which was gathered as early as 1632, where they may be seen at this day. He was admitted freeman, May 14, 1634, and lived in Roxburv until about 1610, when he removed his family to Braintree, Massachusetts. He was admitted a member of the “First Congregational Church,” having been dismissed and recommended to them from the church in Roxbury. He was chosen and ordained the first deacon of the church in Braintree, which office he held for about fifty years. Deacon Samuel Bass was a man of strong and vigorous mind and was one of the leading men of the town for many years. He departed this life upon the thirteenth day of Sept., 1694, and was the father and grandfather, and great-grandfather of one hundred and sixty-two children before he died. He was buried at Hancock Cemetery, Quincy, Massachusetts.

168	I6318	BELANGER	François	Abt 1612	25 Oct 1685	0	HIGHLIGHTS: François was known for his industriousness and business acumen. In 1647, he secured a loan of 100 livres from Pierre Legardeur de Repentigny to purchase wheat, using all his property as collateral. By 1667, he owned 50 arpents of cultivated land and 13 animals, marking him as one of the wealthier colonists. In 1653, he was elected mayor of the Quebec region near Longue Pointe (now Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré). François was known for his strong, often confrontational personality. He was described as resourceful and honest, but also authoritative, demanding, and prone to legal disputes. His reputation for litigiousness was well-established, often causing tension with neighbors and family members. CONNECTIONS: François Belanger is Jim's 9th GGF on the Vermette/Gilbert branch and Michelle's 11th GGF on the Laviolette branch. LIFE STORY: François Bélanger, one of the early settlers of New France, was born around 1612, likely in Normandy, France. While his exact origins and parents remain uncertain, records from his confirmation in 1660 indicate he was from the diocese of Lisieux. In 1634, François immigrated to New France (now Quebec, Canada) as part of a group of settlers recruited by Robert Giffard. He quickly established himself in the colony, working as a mason alongside fellow settlers like Jean Guyon and Zacharie Cloutier. On July 12, 1637, François married Marie Guyon, daughter of Jean Guyon and Mathurine Robin. Marie, born around 1624 in Mortagne-au-Perche, France, was only about 13 years old at the time of their marriage. Despite her youth, Marie proved to be a capable partner and mother. François was known for his industriousness and business acumen. In 1647, he secured a loan of 100 livres from Pierre Legardeur de Repentigny to purchase wheat, using all his property as collateral. By 1667, he owned 50 arpents of cultivated land and 13 animals, marking him as one of the wealthier colonists. Throughout his life, François held several important positions: In 1653, he was elected mayor of the Quebec region near Longue Pointe (later Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré). From 1663 to 1677, he served as Captain of the Militia for the Beaupré coast. In 1662, he was named trustee of the affairs and guardian of the children of Olivier Le Tardif. François was known for his strong, often confrontational personality. He was described as resourceful and honest, but also authoritative, demanding, and prone to legal disputes. His reputation for litigiousness was well-established, often causing tension with neighbors and family members. Despite his difficult nature, François earned the respect of colonial authorities. When the Sovereign Council was founded in 1663, he was referred to as "one of the principal inhabitants of the region" who had the confidence of both authorities and colonists. On July 1, 1677, in recognition of his services, Governor Frontenac granted François the Seigneurie of Bonsecours (later L'Islet). This vast concession, "a league in frontage by two leagues in depth on the south bank of the river," was officially recorded by the Sovereign Council on October 24, 1680. The 1681 census lists the Bélanger family in the seigneury of Bellechasse, with five arpents of cleared land and four servants. François had only recently moved to this new property and begun its development. François Bélanger died on October 25, 1685. In his final act, he bequeathed all his remaining property to his son Jacques, "in return for good and loyal service." This included his lands at Bonsecours, a house, a barn, a mill, livestock, and various equipment. Marie approved this bequest on April 25, 1687, suggesting François had passed away sometime before this date. Marie Guyon outlived François by nearly a decade, passing away on September 1, 1696, at Cap-Saint-Ignace. She was about 72 years old at the time of her death. François and Marie had twelve children together, ten of whom survived to adulthood. Their numerous descendants have played significant roles in the history of Quebec and beyond, contributing to the rich tapestry of French-Canadian heritage.	tree1

180	I18066	BERTAULT	Élisabeth-Isabelle	22 Jan 1659	18 Mar 1736	0	The Tragic Tale of the Bertault Family: In 1672, in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, a family was ensnared in a desperate situation that led to a harrowing series of events. At the heart of this story were Gillette Bonne, her husband Jacques Bertault, and their young daughter Elizabeth. Elizabeth, at the tender age of 12, was married to Julien LaTouche, a man 18 years her senior. This union, marked by a significant age gap, soon turned into a nightmare for Elizabeth. LaTouche, known for his heavy drinking, subjected Elizabeth to physical abuse and failed to provide for her basic needs. Elizabeth often found solace and sustenance at her parents' home, escaping the torment of her marital life. Witnessing their daughter's suffering, Gillette Bonne and Jacques Bertault were driven to a state of desperation. In an attempt to rescue Elizabeth from her abusive husband, they resorted to a drastic and fatal measure. With what appeared to be Elizabeth's tacit approval, they poisoned Julien LaTouche. However, when the poison did not yield the intended result, they resorted to killing him by beating him with a garden hoe The murder of Julien LaTouche led to the arrest and trial of Gillette Bonne, Jacques Bertault, and Elizabeth. The trial revealed the extent of the family's turmoil and the desperate measures they took. Gillette Bonne and Jacques Bertault were sentenced to death by hanging, but their punishment was to be preceded by a public act of penance. They were required to beg for forgiveness on the church steps, a symbolic gesture of atonement for their crime. As further punishment, Jacques Bertault was subjected to having his arms and legs broken. This brutal punishment was not only inflicted upon Jacques but was also a psychological torment for his wife and daughter, who were forced to witness it. After this spectacle, Jacques was hanged, followed by the hanging of Gillette Bonne. Elizabeth, spared from execution due to her young age, was subjected to the traumatic experience of witnessing the execution of both her parents. This story is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of life in New France and the extreme measures to which individuals were sometimes driven in the face of desperation and despair. It paints a vivid picture of life and justice in 17th-century Canada, and the murder and subsequent trial marked a significant moment in the region's history.	tree1
