2	I9293		Lady Godiva		Aft 1066	0	The legend of the nude ride is first recorded in the 13th century, in the Flores Historiarum and the adaptation of it by Roger of Wendover. Despite its considerable age, it is not regarded as plausible by modern historians,[citation needed] nor is it mentioned in the two centuries intervening between Godiva's death and its first appearance, while her generous donations to the church receive various mentions. According to the typical version of the story,[20][21] Lady Godiva took pity on the people of Coventry, who were suffering grievously under her husband's oppressive taxation. Lady Godiva appealed again and again to her husband, who obstinately refused to remit the tolls. At last, weary of her entreaties, he said he would grant her request if she would strip naked and ride on a horse through the streets of the town. Lady Godiva took him at his word, and after issuing a proclamation that all persons should stay indoors and shut their windows, she rode through the town, clothed only in her long hair. Just one person in the town, a tailor ever afterwards known as Peeping Tom, disobeyed her proclamation in one of the most famous instances of voyeurism	tree1

Another son was Donald; also named, without giving the relationship, were John H. Corbett; John R. Corbett, and Roderick Corbett. Jessie was to inherit most of the estate. The will was presented for probate in February 1891, by John R. Corbett South Granville 16th June, Murdock Corbett, age 82, and on 27 December Ann McLeod, his widow, age 87. Both emigrated from Sutherlandshire in 1840 and were for many years consistent members of the Presbyterian Church, and died deeply regretted by a large circle of friends and relations.

9	I16857	(UNPROVEN)	John Richards	Abt 1710	1792	0	John figures in the history of the Indian wars; but every account published of him is not correct. The most reliable one seems to have been derived from his son Tristram, who used often to relate it in the hearing of his grandson, Samuel Richards, Jr. of S. Paris, Me., who has obligingly forwarded the following sketch, adding that the same, in substance, has been handed down among other descendants of this ancestor. "As he, and some of his neighbors, were at work in a field, at Rochester, N.H., they were suddenly surprised by a party of Indians, who ran towards them with terrific yells and whoops. Richards and his neighbors ran for his house, which was near by. Richards, however, concluded, as he neared the house, not to go in; and as his wife was at a garrison, at some distance, he directed his flight for her, but was soon brought down by a bullet. An Indian soon stood over him, with upraised tomahawk, and would soon have killed him, had he not called for quarter. The Indian, finding that he was not dangerously wounded, and that he could travel, spared his life, and took him, with another young man, as a prisoner to Canada. The men who ran inot Richards' house were all killed; their bodies being found by some of their friends soon after; and a web, which Mrs. Richards left in the loom unfinished, was found stained with the blood of her neighbors. Richards, and the other young man, having arrived in Canada, and appearing to be contented, were permitted to go out hunting with the Indians; and as they did not try to escape, were after about a year, allowed to go out alone. They then planned a way to escape. They found a large hollow log in the forest, and prepared it to hide in. as they passed that way they stowed a part of their provision there, and one evening crawled inot the log out of sight. The Indians, finding that Richards and his mate did not come home at dark, as usual, were soon searching for them, making the woods ring with their calls and answers, and many times passed over the log. after 24 hours search the Indians gave them up, and retired to their wigwams. Richards and his mate, hearing no more of the Indians, then crpet from their hiding and started for Rochester. Their scanty allowance was soon gone, and they began to suffer from hunger and fatigue. Richards' mate now gave himself up to die, as he could go no farther. Richards, being loth to leave him, carried him some distance, but finding his own strength failing also, and the young man begging Richards no to die with him, but to save his own life if possible, he reluctantly consented to do so. They found here the entrails fo a deer, which some hunter had left, and striking a fire, broiled it on the coals. This, said Richards, was the sweetest meat that I ever ate. He now left his companion, but had proceeded but a little way when he heard dogs barking behind him, and returnin, discovered that some hunters had found his friend. They were from Rochester, and carried Richards and his friend home." Of his sufferings and emotions in this events, fancy can paint but an imperfect sketch. Previous to his captivity, he m. at R., Abigail "Myers" or "Miles;" built his house by a living spring on the bank of the river, at Norway Plains in R., where he lived the rest of his days.	tree1

13	I12319	ABRAHAM	Marguerite	3 Jan 1645	9 Nov 1695	0	Marguerite was born on January 3, 1645 in the Parish of St-Eustache, Paris, Île-de-France, France to Godefroy (aka Guillaume Abraham) and Denise Fleury. Her father was about 30 when she was born, and according to online trees, he died shortly after, in the same year. Marguerite's mother, Denise, was 22 when Marguerite was born. The area in which she lived was the home of France's largest food market. Living in a single-parent household after the death of her father meant that Marguerite probably grew up in poverty conditions, altjhough there is no way to know for sure. Online trees also indicate that her mother Denise died in 1665 at the age of 42. If this is true, it provides context to the reasons Marguerite would have been willing to uproot her entire life for a harsh and distant land, that very same year. She would have had opportunities there that far exceeded what she would have had if she stayed living in France. Marguerite immigrated in 1665, on the ship "Le Saint-Jean-Baptiste, de Dieppe" departing on June 18, 1665 and arriving in New France on October 2, 1665. The ship was approximately 76' x 27.33' and 10.5' in depth and the crossing was made along with 130 soldiers and 81 other Filles du Roi. She brought a dowry of 100 livres with her. An unskilled worker in 1655 France woudl have made about 1 livre per 10-hour day worked, so 100 livres was rather significant and like the other Filles du Roi, this would have been provided by the king. Just one month after she arrived, on November 6, 1665, Marguerite married Joseph Ozanie (aka Ossany) Nadeau dit Lavigne on the Ile d'Orleans. Joseph was born in 1637 in Genouillac, Creuse, Limousin; a small, lightly populated commune in central France with a church dating back to the 13th century in which Joseph was baptized. Much of what we know of Joseph's life is thanks to the research of Ken Roy, published in 1998 as part of the Nadeau family reunion. http://www.royandboucher.com/genealogy/histories/joseph_ossany_nadeau.php Joseph was the son of Macia Nadeau and Jeanne Despins. He was a young man in his early 20s when he immigrated to New France, possibly in 1659 on the Le Sacrifice d'Abraham which sailed out of La Rochelle. It is believed that Joseph worked first as a wagon builder and wheelwright when he first arrived in Quebec, but became a farmer a few years later. After a brief stay in Quebec City, he settled in Chateau-Richer in the shore of the St Lawrence. On February 3, 1663, Lord Charny gave 3 acres of land to Joseph on the Ile d'Orleans in the Ste Famille area, the first parish that had been established on the island. When there were still only about 100 people on the entire island, Joseph cleared his land and built a 20'x15' cabin on what is now lots 224 and 226, just northwest of the Ste Famille church. After marrying in 1665, for the first two years, Marguerite and Joseph lived in Sainte-Famille, but then moved in 1667 to what became Sainte-Laurent after Joseph was granted 7 acres of riverfront that was also 40 acres deep by the Bishop of Quebec. He sold the land in Sainte-Famille on October 18, 1675 to Antoine Dionne (one of Jim's GGFs). Marguerite and Joseph had 5 children together, 4 who survived past infanthood and 3 who survived to adulthood. Our ancestor is Denis, their fourth child, baptized on June 18, 1673 in Sainte-Famille. Joseph died on February 10, 1677, when he was just 40 years old, and was buried two days later in Sainte-Famille. This left Marguerite a widow with several young child under the age of 10. The following year, on January 31, 1678, she married Guillame Chartier. They had no children together. Marguerite died at Beaumont sometime shortly after November 9, 1695 at about 50 years old.	tree1
14	I469	ADAMS	Abigail Amelia	14 Jul 1765	15 Aug 1813	0	Nabby Adams Smith was the eldest child and only surviving daughter of John and Abigail Adams and the sister of John Quincy Adams. She married William Stephens Smith in London on June 12, 1786 while her parents were in residence there but the marriage was not a happy one. Abandoned on numerous occasions while her husband went "seeking his fortune", Nabby showed herself to be a true child of her parents, strong-willed, uncomplaining and able to keep herself and her children together under one roof, earning the unstinting respect of John and Abigail and of John Quincy, who loved her dearly ... one of the few people he did love dearly. In October of 1811, Nabby discovered a lump in her breast and a mastectomy was performed without any anesthesia. Her parents were holding her hands during the brutal surgery and, according to John, she never cried out once. After recuperating at the Adams homestead in Quincy, she returned to her dreary life in New York. But the cancer proved too much for even Nabby's resilient spirit and, in the summer of 1813, in agony, she returned to her parents in Quincy and died in The Old Homestead. The elderly John Adams grieved in a letter to his old friend Thomas Jefferson: "Your friend, my only Daughter, expired, yesterday morning .... in the 49th Year of her age, 46 of which she was the healthiest and firmest of us all. Since which, She has been a monument to Suffering and to Patience." It has been said that neither John nor Abigail ever truly recovered from her death.	tree1

25	I393	ADAMS	Ebenezer	20 Jun 1753	1832	0	Ebenezer was a soldier at Crown Point and Ticonderoga during the Revolutionary War. Fort Ticonderoga was captured on May 10, 1775, when a small force of Green Mountain Boys led by Ethan Allen and Colonel Benedict Arnold overcame a small British garrison at the fort and looted the personal belongings of the garrison. Cannons and other armaments from the fort were transported to Boston and used to fortify Dorchester Heights and break the standoff at the Siege of Boston. After seizing Ticonderoga, a small detachment captured the nearby Fort Crown Point on May 11. Aug., 1776, in Capt. Caleb Hodgdon's Co., and in Capt. Abraham Perham's Co., Col. Pierce Long, Dec. 7, 1776, to Jan. 7, 1777; Notes from Debbie Wilson: Stuart Merrill in his History and Genealogy of the Barnstead Early Families, 1979, states that Ebenezer married Lydia Hoyt in 1779, that in the census of 1790 he included in his family two boys and three girls. He is buried on the farm according to Merrill. Merrill maintains that son James lived on his father's farm, and we know this from the pension information below. The pension file of Ebenezer reads as follows: "April 6, 1818, Ebenezer Adams of Barnstead, Strafford Co. New Hampshire aged 64 deposed: that he enlisted Nov. 1775 and served two months; enlisted again in March, 1776, and served four months; in August, 1776, enlisted at New Castle, New Hampshire under Capt. Abraham Perkins, in the New Hampshire Line, where he served as a sergeant for twelve months, and in August, 1777, was discharged at Stillwater, N.Y. He was in the battles of Fort Ann and Skenesboro. The same day Dudley G. Adams of Gilmanton, testified to service in the company commanded by Capt. Abraham Perkins, and Ebenezer Adams, Sergeant, as did Israel Huckins of Barrington, New Hampshire. William Walker , Noah Robinson and John Kinne, Selectmen, testify to soldier's need of a pension. Claim allowed and Certificate North 16498 was issued Feb. 14, 1820 Act March 18, 1818 for one years service as private. May 2, 1820 soldier submitted a schedule of his property, but stated that he owned a considerable amount. He mentions a wife, Lydia, aged 62 yrs, a daughter, 30 yrs. of age, and a grandson, 11 yrs. old in his family. His name was dropped from the rolls on account of property. In 1822 soldier applied for a renewal of pension, stating that when his name was dropped, his creditors foreclosed, and that now he has not more than fifty dollars' worth of property. A number of citizens of the town testify in his behalf, among whom were: James Adams (no relation stated), John Bickford, Abraham and Daniel Bunker, John Daniels, Reverend Enos George, Pastor of the Congregational church in town, of which Ebenezer is a member, Jeremiah Jewett, John and William Nutter, John Peavey and Joseph Tasker. November 25, 1824, James Adams of Barnstead, New Hampshire testified that he was present when Harrison Hoyt Adams, formerly of Barnstead, but now of Kittery, York County, Maine agreed to pay off what he owed to various persons, among whom were: Ebenezer Adams (who died June 1, 1820), Ebenezer Coe, store-keeper, Jedediah Leighton, Betsy Adams, who nursed the family in several illnesses, Dr. Thomas Shannon of Pittsfield, New Hampshire, Joanna Pease, Nancy Merrill, Charles Hodgdon . Esq., Stephen Watson, as well as Harrison Hoyt Adams and James Adams. Owing to business troubles, H.H. Adams was obliged to sell the farm, and it was bought by James Adams, etc. Ebenezer Adams was, therefore, restored to the roll; and a certificate with the same number was issued April 1, 1828, according to Acts of March 18, 1818, and May 1, 1820."	tree1

Thomas Dudley and Gov. John Winthrop of Massachusetts. He was known as "Reformation John Adams" and was a noted evangelist, serving many pas- torates in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. He died at Newmarket 30 Sept. 1850. John Adams was born in Newington, New Hampshire on February 14, 1791 to John Adams and Abigail Coleman Adams. As a teenager Adams converted to Methodism and as a young man he became an itinerant preacher. He was appointed elder of the Bristol Conference in Rhode Island in 1810. In 1820 he married Sarah Sanderson of Watertown, Maine. He was known for his emotional appeals and fiery preaching and remained a popular minister through the 1830s. His preaching career spanned the period of the “Second Great Awakening” and primarily took him throughout the New England area. In the 1840s his preaching style and mental instability caused him increasing difficulties. Since his religious message was often unwelcome, Adams turned to preaching about temperance issues and using his singing voice. Adams died in 1851 after a period of illness.	tree1

He settled in Newington but moved to Barnstead in 1792. He married Joanna Gilman, dau of Ezekiel Gilman and Sarah Dudley. The Adams genealogy says that Ezekiel was commander of the New Hampshire forces at the taking of Louisburg in 1745. According to the revised edition of the Gilman genealogy, "Ezekiel did not die at the Louisburg Garrison as has been stated. In 1749 he deeded land in Exeter to his son Bradstreet and in 1748 distinguished himself by his original device for transporting artillery over swamps. The Major was a lumberman and had drawn masts over boggy ground on sleds and adopted the same method with artillery with complete success, teams of men being used instead of oxen or horses." http://books.google.com/books?id=H89DXKVm4qcC&pg=PA2167&lpg=PA2167&dq=reverend+joseph+bass+adams&source=bl&ots=4UhEG4Jcu6&sig=N1EUKGR7sdHEkivAb8JAyc8UAto&hl=en&sa=X&ei=sg_yU__rJoOBygS4l4CQBg&ved=0CCIQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=reverend joseph bass adams&f=false	tree1

46	I32	ADAMS	Joseph Bass	4 Jan 1688	25 May 1783	0	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.

49	I399	ADAMS	Joseph Colbath	25 Feb 1815	10 Feb 1907	0	According to a History of Henry Adams, Joseph C. was born in Barnstead, Feb 25 1815 and was married Oct 29 1839 to Sarah B. Nutter the daughter of James and Hannah (Langley) Nutter. He was a blacksmith in Newburyport for many years. Joseph's father died in 1820 when he was only 5 years old. In October of 1821 the Strafford Court granted guardianship of Joseph (listed as Josephus in the court papers) and his siblings to his mother. Shortly after, also in1821, there was a notice in the paper that his father's 50 acre farm in Barnstead, NH was being auctioned to pay debts. I have also found the probate records ordering this sale as the estate owed $1200. It is unknown what his mother may have done then and where they lived, though by 1837 it is presumed they were living in the Newington/Portsmouth area as that is where his sister Sally Ann drowned (she was 17 at the time). In 1839, Joseph is listed in the city directory at 57 Daniel where he had a blacksmith shop. His mother was also living in town, at 25 Court St., Portsmouth. Joseph and Sarah married in 1839 and during the 1840 Census they were enumerated, living together, in Portsmouth. It appears that there may have been another Joseph Adams living next to them as neighbors. That is unusual and I don't yet know who it could be. By the 1850 Census, Joseph and his wife were living in Newburyport, MA and had 5 children, 5 daughters ranging in age from 9 (Sarah F my ancestor) to 2. Ariadna Nutter, Sarah's 24-year old sister was also living with them. The State of MA held a Census in 1855. Joseph and his family were living in Ward 6 of Newburyport and a son had now been born (he was 3 at this time), so they had 6 children. In the 1860 Census, Joseph's family was still with him in Newburyport and he is listed as owning $700 in real estate. MA had another Census in 1865. All his children are still living with him. Joseph's mother had just died the year before, in 1864. In the 1870 Census, Joseph and Sarah were in their 50s. It notes that he owns real estate valued at $400 and personal property valued at $1000. They have 4 adult children still living with them, no occupations listed for any of them. Annetta 28, Ada (assumed to be Ariadna) 22, and (Joseph) Gilman 18 According to the Municipal Register in Newburyport, MA for 1872, Joseph C. Adams was in the Common Council representing Ward 6. Joseph owned a home and blacksmith shop in 1872 located at 2 Merrimac Court. In the 1880 Census, Joseph is still living with his wife, his daughter Emma who is 35 and listed as a saleswoman and a granddaughter Nellie M. who is 4. Nellie May's gravestone says she died in 1886. Joseph's wife Sarah passed away Jan 11 1892. They had been married 53 years. On the 1900 Census Joseph is enumerated in Newington, NH, with his daughter Sarah and her husband Frederick DeRochemont (my 3rd great grandparents), his daughter Annetta now 57, and Sarah and Fred's children Frederick (23), Harry (32) and Harry's wife Annie and their 3 children Mabel, John, and Lawrence. In 1907 Joseph was living with his daughter Emily and her husband in Newburyport when he died at the age of 91 from heart disease. Emily did not know her grandmother's (Sally's) maiden name and misreported her grandfather's name as Joseph--though this is understandable as Ebenezer had died in 1820 when Joseph was only 5, long before Emily was born, so Emily never knew her grandfather. The newspaper stated that he had been returned to Newington for burial. Joseph and Sarah are buried in Newington. Their granddaughter Nellie is buried beside them.	tree1

Most accounts put the dead at around 48 and 80 taken prisoner. Amoung the dead were Philip Adams age 60 and his 15 year old son Nathaniel. A local poet expesses the horror of the day Hundreds were murdered in their beds, Wiyhout shame or remorse; And soon the floors and roads were strewed, With many a bleeding corpse. The village soon began to blaze, To heighten misery's woe; But, Oh! I scarce can bear to tell The issues of that blow! They threw the infants on the fire; The men they did not spare; But kill-ed all which they could find, Though aged or though fair. Another of our g grandfathers was also killed in this attack.

John Alden of Boston (son of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins of the Plymouth Colony), who would soon be accused of witchcraft in the Salem witch trials. The Indians set fire to all undefended houses on the north side of the York River, the principal route for trade and around which the town had grown. After the settlement was reduced to ashes, however, it was rebuilt on higher ground at what is today York Village. Although often referred to as the "Candlemas Massacre," Candlemas is traditionally celebrated by the Catholic Church on February 2, forty days after Christmas (or by the Church of England on that day or the Sunday between January 28 and February 3), the attack is reported in the diary of Samuel Sewall as having taken place on January 25 or 26: "Tuesday, Jan. 26, 1691/2.... This day...news was brought of an Attack made by the Indians on York."[2] Today the event is commemorated annually in York, with historical re-enactments and lectures, events presented by the Old York Historical Society and sponsored in part by the Maine Humanities Council.

64	I879	ADAMS	Sarah Frances	9 Aug 1840	10 Dec 1928	0	Sarah Frances Adams was born in Newburyport, MA on August 9, 1840 (date according to her gravestone), the oldest child of Joseph Adams, a blacksmith, and Sarah Nutter. She had 5 younger sisters and 1 brother, from 2 to12 years younger than her. She appears on the 1850 Census living in Newburyport with her parents, siblings, and her 24-year-old aunt (her mother's sister). She appears on the 1855 MA census living with her family, still in Newburyport. On 20 Mar 1867, Sarah married Frederick William deRochemont of Newington. They were married in Middleton, MA. By the 1870 Census, Sarah was living in Newington with her husband, their 2 year old son Harry and 8 month old daughter Amelia. Frederick is listed as working as a fire insurance agent. I don't know if they moved into the house as soon as they were married, but at least later in their marriage they lived in a house on Fox Point Rd. By the 1880, 3 more children had been born, Windelina, Frederick W. , and Joseph, for a total of 5 children in the family. Harry, at age 12, is the only child listed as attending school. Amelia at age 10 was not. The other children were all too young still. On this Census, Frederick is listed as a farmer. Frederick's younger brother Herbert and his wife Olive lived next door with their 2 year old daughter Charlotte. Sarah's mother died in 1892. She is buried in the Newington Cemetery. By 1900, Fred and Sarah were near 60. Harry was married by this time and living with them along with his wife Annie and their 3 children Mabel (4), John (2), and Lawrence (1). Frederick Jr. was still living with them. Sarah's father Joseph C and her sister Annetta had also come to live with them. In 1903, the Portsmouth Herald noted on May 7 that "Mrs. S. F. deRochemont returned on Tuesday from a visit to Newburyport where she had been the guest of her father J.C. Adams." So by this time, it appears that Joseph had returned to live in Newburyport. Sarah's father died in 1907. He is buried beside his wife in Newington. The Portsmouth Daily Herald, on 12 Apr 1909, reported on Sarah's husband's 68th birthday party. It was Easter and his children and grandchildren came to his home to help him celebrate. The article says that he had suffered an accident early in life and had been severely crippled,. but had always played an active role in the community nonetheless. It says Fred was born in Newington in 1841 in the house that his brother was living in when the article was written. In the 1910 Census Sarah and Fred were living with their son Harry (now 42) and his 6 children, ranging in age from 14-6. Harry's wife Annie had died in childbirth in 1906 and the baby died shortly after. There is also an Elizabeth Haughey, age 24 living with them. The Census says she was from Ireland and is their servant. Fred is still listed as a farmer and Harry as a watchman for the railroad. In the 1920 Census their were just 2 grandchildren still living with Sarah and Fred, Mabel and Orville. Mabel was 23 by now and working as a teacher. Fred died in 1926. Sarah died on 10 Dec 1928. Her death certificate says she died of chronic myocarditis. They are buried together in the Newington cemetery. General Notes: Son Harry's marriage record says that Sarah was born in Newburyport. Son Frederick's says she was born in Portsmouth. It was more than likely Portsmouth since the Adams genealogy shows the first two children, Sarah and Anetta as being born in Portsmouth. The 1840 census shows a Joseph Adams in Portsmouth, none in Newburyport and the 1850 census shows Joseph C Adams in Newburyport. Sarah was called "Little Grammie" as she was a tiny woman.	tree1

69	I7278	AELFGIFU			944	0	Saint Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury, also known as Saint Elgiva was the first wife of Edmund I (r. 939-946), by whom she bore two future kings, Eadwig (r. 955-959) and Edgar (r. 959-975). Like her mother Wynflaed, she had a close and special if unknown connection with the royal nunnery of Shaftesbury (Dorset), founded by King Alfred, where she was buried and soon revered as a saint. According to a pre-Conquest tradition from Winchester, her feast day is 18 May. According to William of Malmesbury, Ælfgifu would secretly redeem those who were publicly condemned to severe judgment, she gave expensive clothes to the poor, and she also had prophetic powers as well as powers of healing.	tree1
70	I7275	AELFTHRYTH		945	1000	0	The first king's wife known to have been crowned and anointed as Queen of the Kingdom of England. Mother of King Æthelred the Unready, she was a powerful political figure. She was linked to the murder of her stepson King Edward the Martyr and appeared as a stereotypical bad queen and evil stepmother in many medieval histories. King Edgar organised a second coronation on 11 May 973 at Bath, perhaps to bolster his claim to be ruler of all of Britain. Here Ælfthryth was also crowned and anointed, granting her a status higher than any recent queen.The only model of a queen's coronation was that of Judith of Flanders, but this had taken place outside England. In the new rite, the emphasis lay on her role as protector of religion and the nunneries in the realm. She took a close interest in the well-being of several abbeys, and as overseer of Barking Abbey she deposed and later reinstated the abbess. Ælfthryth played a large role as forespeca, or advocate, in at least seven legal cases. As such, she formed a key part of the Anglo-Saxon legal system as a mediator between the individual and the crown, which was increasingly viewing its role in the courts as a symbol of its authority as protector of its subjects. Ælfthryth's actions as forespeca were largely for the benefit of female litigants, and her role as a mediator shows the possibilities for women to have legal and political power in late Anglo-Saxon England.	tree1
71	I7272	AETHELRED	II	966	23 Apr 1016	0	Later perspectives of Æthelred have been less than flattering. Numerous legends and anecdotes have sprung up to explain his shortcomings, often elaborating abusively on his character and failures. One such anecdote is given by William of Malmesbury (lived c. 1080-c. 1143), who reports that Æthelred had defecated in the baptismal font as a child, which led St. Dunstan to prophesy that the English monarchy would be overthrown during his reign. This story is, however, a fabrication, and a similar story is told of the Byzantine Emperor Constantine Copronymus, another mediaeval monarch who was unpopular among certain of his subjects. Efforts to rehabilitate Æthelred's reputation have gained momentum since about 1980. Chief among the rehabilitators has been Simon Keynes, who has often argued that our poor impression of Æthelred is almost entirely based upon after-the-fact accounts of, and later accretions to, the narrative of events during Æthelred's long and complex reign.	tree1

73	I7177	AETHELWULF			13 Jan 858	0	Regarded as historians as king who consolidated and extended the power of his dynasty, commanded respect on the continent, and dealt more effectively than most of his contemporaries with Viking attacks. He is regarded as one of the most successful West Saxon kings, who laid the foundations for the success of his son, Alfred the Great. On his way back from Rome, Æthelwulf stayed for several months with Charles the Bald, King of the Franks and married Charles' twelve-year-old daughter, Judith. After Æthelwulf's death Æthelbald married his stepmother, to the later horror of Asser, the biographer of his youngest brother, Alfred the Great. Asser denounced the union as being "against God's prohibition and Christian dignity, and also contrary to the practice of all pagans",[1] but the marriage does not appear to have been condemned at the time. Æthelbald and Æthelberht appear to have been on good terms: when Æthelbald died in 860 Æthelberht became king of both Wessex and Kent, and they were never again divided.	tree1

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.	tree1

83	I603	ALDEN	John	15 Sep 1599	12 Sep 1687	0	The youngest of the Pilgrims who became involved in government at the start of Plymouth Colony; when they arrived he was 21. Alden was at first assigned to live with the family of Captain Standish and he lived with this family until he was married. There is a story that after the death of Mrs. Standish, the Captain asked John to ask for the hand of Priscilla Mullins on his behalf. John is said to have been qite handsome, and Priscilla responded to him "Prithee, John, why do you not speak for yourself?" Later, John and Priscilla married and it is fabled that Captain Standish never forgave John. However, history doesn't really support this as John and Captain Standish spent the rest of their lives working together in the government, worshiping in the same church, and their children intermarried. In 1626, John worked with Standish, Brewster, Howland and others to pay the debts, contracted in England, and to prevent the ruin of the colony's credit. In 1631, John moved to Duxbury and settled on the land that had been granted hin there on the South side of the Bluefish river. He bult his house near Eagletree Pond. The original grant gave him 169 acres. In 1633 he was appointed as a member of the Board of Assistants to the Governor, a position he continued in almost continually until his death. He often served as Deputy Governor and served as Governor in his absence. He was often on the council of war, many times an arbitrator, a surveyor of lands for the government and for individuals, and several times was authorized to serve as an agent or attorney for the colony. He was chosen treasurer in 1656 and held that office for 3 years. There was little pay for all these years of public service and while John Alden began with assets, these dwindled over time as he had little time to devote to his own affairs. When he died, he left an estate of only 50 pounds sterling. He is described as "He was possessed of sound judgment, and of talents, which though not brilliant, were by no means ordinary and disputable. The writers who mention him, bear ample testimony to his industry, integrity, and exemplary piety, and he has represented as a worthy and useful man, of great humility, and eminent for the sanctity of life. He was decided, ardent, resolute and persevering, indifferent of danger, a bold and hardy man stern and austere and unyielding, of incorruptible integrity, an iron-nerved puritan who could hew down forests and live on crumbs" He died in Duxbury at age 87 on 12 Sep 1686. He was the last surviving signer of the Mayflower Compact. The Mayflower Compact, signed by 41 English colonists on the ship Mayflower on November 11, 1620, was the first written framework of government established in what is now the United States. The compact was drafted to prevent dissent amongst Puritans and non-separatist Pilgrims who had landed at Plymouth a few days earlier. The Mayflower Compact was the first democratic document to be drafted in the New World, and became a model for later documents, such as the Constitution. Basically, the Mayflower Compact was the first governing document in America. The Mayflower Compact is the first document in American history demonstrating the attempt to form a government based of the concept that government should derive its power from the “consent of the governed.” The Mayflower Compact specified basic laws and social rules for the new colony and served as a foundation for the democratic structure of the settlers. The significance of the Mayflower Compact is that it contains extremely important concepts that helped to shape the History of America. Fact 1: The significance of the Mayflower Compact is illustrated as it was based on the concept of majority rule Fact 2: The significance of the Mayflower Compact is illustrated as it was the first known document that provided self-government in America Fact 3: The significance of the Mayflower Compact is illustrated as it was the first democratic government to be established in the colonies - The colonists agreed to choose their leaders and make their own laws which they agreed to follow Fact 4: The significance of the Mayflower Compact is illustrated because it stated that the adult males, not including servants, who settled at Plymouth, would have the right to vote on issues Fact 5: The significance of the Mayflower Compact is illustrated by its democratic concept of law made by and for the people Fact 6: The significance of the Mayflower Compact is illustrated as it expressed mutual regard for one another as equals in the sight of God Fact 7: The significance of the Mayflower Compact is because it is often cited as one of the foundations of the US Constitution setting a precedent as the foundational document for the Plymouth Colony The Mayflower Compact set a precedent and was an influential document for the Founding Fathers as they created the US Constitution. The Mayflower Compact made a significant contribution to the creation of a new democratic nation which would become the United States of America. Immediately after agreeing to the Mayflower Compact, the signers elected John Carver (one of the Pilgrim leaders) as governor of their colony. They called it Plymouth Plantation. When Governor Carver died in less than a year, William Bradford, age 31, replaced him. Each year thereafter the "Civil Body Politic," consisting of all adult males except indentured servants, assembled to elect the governor and a small number of assistants. Bradford was re-elected 30 times between 1621 and 1656. In the early years Governor Bradford pretty much decided how the colony should be run. Few objected to his one-man rule. As the colony's population grew due to immigration, several new towns came into existence. The roving and increasingly scattered population found it difficult to attend the General Court, as the governing meetings at Plymouth came to be called. By 1639, deputies were sent to represent each town at the other General Court sessions. Not only self-rule, but representative government had taken root on American soil. The English Magna Carta, written more than 400 years before the Mayflower Compact, established the principle of the rule of law. In England this still mostly meant the king's law. The Mayflower Compact continued the idea of law made by the people. This idea lies at the heart of democracy. From its crude beginning in Plymouth, self-government evolved into the town meetings of New England and larger local governments in colonial America. By the time of the Constitutional Convention, the Mayflower Compact had been nearly forgotten, but the powerful idea of self-government had not. Born out of necessity on the Mayflower, the Compact made a significant contribution to the creation of a new democratic nation.	tree1

85	I553	ALDEN	John	1626/27	14 Mar 1701/02	0	The most picturesque career of any of the children of the Pilgrim was that of Captain John Alden of Boston. Born in Plymouth about 1626, he passed his earlier years in Duxbury where the records show that he was admitted freeman in 1646. Three years later he removed to Boston, which was thenceforth to be his home, his dwelling being situated on a passage leading from Cambridge Street to Sudburv Street, and called after him "Alden's Lane," today known as Alden Street. In his youth he became a mariner and in later years rose to eminence in his profession and acquired by means of it what was in his day something of a fortune. He was for some years master of a merchantman owned by John Hull, and later for many years commander of the armed vessel belonging to the Colony of Massachusetts Bay which supplied the Maine posts with provisions and stores. He also saw service in the French and Indian wars, and in 1691 a vessel in his charge was taken by a French frigate, and he and his son were made prisoners, not, however, for a long captivity. But by far the most interesting episode in Captain Alden's career was his arrest and trial as a witch, and as of all those so accused he is the only one who has left us a written account of his experiences, his case is of exceptional interest. The narrative is given in Upham's "History of Witchcraft," as follows: "John Alden, Sr., of Boston, in the county of Suffolk, mariner, on the twenty-eighth day of May, 1692, was sent for by the magistrates of Salem, in the county of Essex, upon the accusation of a company of poor distracted or possessed creatures or witches; and being sent by Mr. Stoughton, arrived there on the thirty-first of May, and appeared at Salem Village, before Mr. Gedney, Mr. Hawthorne and Mr. Corwin. " Those wenches being present who played their juggling tricks, falling down, crying out, and staring in people's faces, the magistrates demanded of them several times who it was of all the people in the room that hurt them. One of these accusers pointed several times at one Captain Hill, there present, but spake nothing. The same accuser had a man standing at her back to hold her up. He stooped down to her ear; then she cried out, 'Alden, Alden afflicted her.' One of the magistrates asked her if she had ever seen Alden. She answered ' No.' He asked her how she knew it was Alden. She said the man told her so. " Then all were ordered to go down in the street,where a ring was made; and the same accuser cried out, ' There stands Alden, a bold fellow, with his hat on before the judges ; he sells powder and shot to the Indians and French. . . . ' Then was Alden committed to the marshal's custody, and his sword taken from him; for they said he afflicted them with his sword. After some hours Alden was sent for to the meeting-house in the village, before the magistrates, who required Alden to stand upon a chair, to the open view of all the people. " The accusers cried out that Alden pinched them then, when he stood upon the chair, in the sight of all the people, a good way distant from them. One of the magistrates bid the marshal to hold open Alden's hands, that he might not pinch those creatures. , Alden asked them why they should think that he should come to that village to afflict those persons that he never knew or saw before. Mr. Gedney bid Alden confess and give glory to God. " Alden said he hoped he should give glory to God and hoped he should never gratify the devil:but appealed to all that ever knew him, if they ever suspected him to be such a person; and challenged any one that could bring in anything on their own knowledge, that might give suspicion of his being such an one. Mr. Gedney said he had known Alden many years, and had been at sea with him, and always looked upon him to be an honest man; but now he saw cause to alter his judgment. Alden answered, he was sorry for that, but he hoped God would clear up his innocency, that he would recall that judgment again; and added that he hoped that he should, with Job, maintain his integrity till he died. " They bid Alden look upon his accusers, which he did, and then they fell down. Alden asked Mr. Gedney what reason there could be given why Alden's looking upon him did not strike him down as well, but no reason was given that I heard. But the accusers were brought to Alden to touch them; and this touch, they said, made them well. Alden began to speak of the Providence of God in suffering these creatures to accuse innocent persons. " Mr. Noyes asked Alden why he should offer to speak of the Providence of God: God, by his Providence (said Mr. Noyes), governs the world, and keeps it in peace; and so went on with discourse, and stopped Alden's mouth as to that, Alden told Gedney that he could assure him that there was a lying spirit in them ; for I can assure you that there is not a word of truth in all these say of me. But Alden was again committed to the marshal, and his mittimus written. " To Boston Alden was carried by a constable: no bail would be taken for him, but was delivered to the prison-keeper, where he remained fifteen weeks; and then, observing the manner of trials, and evidence then taken, was at length prevailed with to make his escape." From the prison Captain Alden made his way to Duxbury, where he aroused his relatives in the middle of the night with the information that " he was flying from the devil and the devil was after him." He remained there for several months, until the witchery scare had subsided, when he gave himself up to the authorities at Boston and no one appearing against him, he was discharged, but with a temper forever after soured against any mention of witchcraft. Captain Alden was married twice, each time to an Elizabeth. The first wife died before 1660, for this was the year in which he marriedElizabeth Everill, widow, who remained to share his home until 1695 or 96. He himself lived until 1702, when he died at the age of seventy-five. According to Ebenezer Alden's Memorial he was the father of fourteen children, at least four of whom died in early infancy. At the present day there are no descendants of Captain Alden bearing the name. When he first came to Boston Captain Alden united by letter with the "First Church" of that city, but later joined the secession from that church which resulted in the organization of the " Third Church," afterward the Old South Church, of which he was thus a charter member. Today his gravestone is one of three preserved under the portico of the New Old South Church building at the corner of Copley Square in that city. The story of its recovery is given in the Boston Transcript for April thirty, 1870, as follows: " Mr. Samuel Jennison, the owner of property on and about Carlton Place, has recently, on account of the widening ot Eliot Street, begun operations for the purpose of building there a new block. As the excavations have been going on some relics of the past have been dug up, including a lot of bones and quite a number of gravestones, some of them nearly whole. These are small slate stone tablets, such as may be seen in the King's Chapel, Granary, and other ancient buryinggrounds in the vicinity, and most of them have the old-fashioned death's head cut over their inscriptions." The inscription upon Captain Alden's stone reads, " Here lyeth the body of John Alden, Senior, aged seventy-five years. Deceased March fourteen, 1702." The stone was consecrated, in its present position, in 1884, Hamilton A. Hill delivering upon that occasion a memorial address.	tree1
86	I554	ALDEN	Jonathan	Abt 1633	14 Feb 1697	0	Capt. Jonathan Alden was the youngest son of the Pilgrim, John Alden, and was born about 1627. He lived on the paternal domain, and was much employed in the civil atfairs of the town, and a selectman for several years He was much respected and honored by his townsmen, and inherited the virtues of his father. He was admitted a freeman in 1657, and chosen ensign of the company in 167i, afterwards lieutenant, and then captain, and continued in this capacity until his death, which occurred in February, 1697. He was buried under arms on the 17th, when an Address was delivered at the grave by Rev. Mr. VViswall, from which these passages are selected, - Alden' s Epitaphs. " .Neighbours and friends, we are assembled this day in a posture of mourning, to solemnize the funeral of the present deceased, to pay our last tribute of respect to a person well known among us. I need not enlarge upon his character, but, in brief, am bold to say thus much. He stepped over his youth, without the usual stains of vanity. In his riper years he approved himself a good Commonwealth's man ; and, which is the crown of all, a sincere Christian, one whose heart was in the house of God, even when his body was barred hence by the restraints of many difficulties, which confined him at home. He could say, in truth. Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house. He earnestly desired the enlargement of Jerusalem, and inwardly lamented that the ways to Zion did mourn, because so few did flock to her solemn feasts ; but is now united to that general assembly, where is no more cause of sorrow on that account. " As to his quality in our militia, he was a leader, and I dare say rather loved than feared of his company. '• Fellow Soldiers, you are come to lay your leader in the dust, to lodge him in his quiet and solemn repose. You are no more to follow him in the field. No sound of rallying drum, nor shrillest trumpet will awaken him, till the general muster, when the Son of God will cause that trumpet to be blown, whose echoes shall shake the foundations of the heavens and the earth, and raise the dead. " Fellow Soldiers, you have followed him into the field, appeared in your arms, stood your ground, marched, countermarched, made ready, advanced, fired, and retreated ; and all at his command. You have been conformable to his millpdc tary commands and postures, and it is to your credit. But, let me tell you, this day he has acted one posture before your eyes, and your are all at a stand! No man stirs a foot after him ! But the day is hastening, wherein you must all conform to his present posture,- I mean, be laid in the dust." Mr. Wiswall, after olfering various solemn exhortations, with scriptural quotations, concluded his address thus :- " Fellow !:5oldiers ; Oh ! consider how dreadful it will prove, if, after you have with a matchless bravery of spirit acted the part of soldiers on earth, you should in the mean time forget your Christian armor and discipline, and bo numbered among those mentioned in Ezek. xxxii. 2(), 27, who, having been the terror of the mighty in the land of the living, yet went down to hell with their weapons of war, their iniquities remaining upon their bones! which that you may all escape, follow your deceased leader, as he followed Christ; and then though death may for a short space of time tyrannize over your frail bodies in the grave, yet you shall rise with him in triumph, when the great trumpet shall sound, and appear listed in the nmster roll of tlie Prince of the earth, the Captain of our eternal salvation."ommons@ hotmail.com.	tree1

Her cousing Rene Anceling traveled to New France when Francoise was about 10 years old and her father died about the same time. This was likely her motivation for immigrating to Canada herself in 1669. when she was only 14. On November 10 of that same year, Francoise married Guillame Valade dit Asselin. Guillame was born in about 1647 (so he was 22 at the time of his marriage) in Saint-Sauveur, La Rochelle, the son of Andre Valade and Sarah Cousseau. By 1666/67, he was living in Beauport, Quebec working as an indentured servant for Nicolas Juchereau. Guillame and Francoise lived in the village of Saint-Joseph at Charlesbourg.

97	I1533	ANDERSON	Sarah	Dec 1796		0	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.	tree1
