UNPROVEN PARENTAGE
According to the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy's Medieval Lands Index, Adelais's parentage has not been proven:
"Ives m secondly ADELAIS, daughter of --- (-8 Apr 1099). “Ivo comes de Bellomonte et Adelhidis uxor eius” donated “ecclesia Sanctæ Honorinæ de Confluencio” to the monastery of Bec by charter dated 1080[34]. [Depoin says that Adelais “devait appartenir à la maison de Gournay”, citing the necrology of Beaumont-Saint-Léonor which records the death of Hugues de Gournay (“X Kal Nov...Hugo de Gornayo”[35]) and suggesting that Hugues, younger brother of Mathieu [I] Comte de Beaumont, was named after him[36]. However, there is no indication to which Hugues de Gournay this necrology entry relates, nor of the time when he lived. The idea is interesting, but the data on which the hypothesis rests is too imprecise to suggest that it is probable.]" [1] | GOURNAY Adele (I60126)

↑ Some gedcom list him as, "Hunroch Artois," but the evidence for this is very slim.
↑ Previously, it was thought that Engeltrude and Uruouch had a daughter, who married Suppo III. But this is speculation.[3]

Urraca married, as his first wife, Ramiro I de Asturias.
Research Notes
Urraca has been disconnected as the daughter of Diego Castilla.
It appears that Salazar y Castro[1] deduced that Paterna was King Ramiro's first wife and that his second wife was Urraca, daughter of Diego Rodríguez Conde de Castilla, but this is clearly impossible chronologically given the likely birth date range of Conde Diego. [2]

Ursula, later known as Saint Ursula, is said to have been born a princess in the kingdom of Dumnonia (now Devon, Cornwall, in southwest England) c.305 C.E. Her father was Dionotus and her mother Geruma; thus, the name Ursula 'verch Dynod' is medieval Welsh for 'daughter of Dynod' (Dionotus). They were Christian, Ursula devoutly so, and had vowed herself to God.
After her father, 'King' Donaut, agreed to her marriage with Governor Conan Meriadoc of Armorica (Brittany), Ursula set sail to join him along with 11,000 virginal handmaidens. However, a miraculous storm brought them over the sea in a single day to a Gaulish port, where Ursula declared that before her marriage she would undertake a pan-European pilgrimage. Together, the British maidens headed for Rome where Ursula persuaded Pope Cyriacus and Sulpicius, Bishop of Ravenna to join her happy band of followers. She was later welcomed Pantulus, Bishop of Basle & Jaques, Bishop of Liège, and 'King' Ethereus arrived from Britain with Prince Conan himself. Together, they set out for Cologne which was being besieged by Huns. In a dreadful massacre, the Huns beheaded all the virgins and, with bow & arrow, their leader shot St. Ursula dead. Ursula and her virgins were buried in Cologne where a great church is dedicated to her. Conan, her husband, apparently survived. [1]
Legend[2] has it that Ursula was promised in marriage to Conan, king of Armorica (Brittany today). Three years later, Ursula and a hundred (give or take 10,900) virgins set sail, but were blown off course by a violent storm, up the Rhine. They sailed as far as Basel, Switzerland, where Ursula ventured off on a side-trip to visit the Pope in Rome, all the while gaining a huge following of Hun-made widows and orphans.
On the journey back, when the entourage reached the Roman Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium, Rhineland (now Cologne, Germany), Ursula and her followers were slaughtered by the Huns. The cathedral in Cologne contains thousands of bones attributed to the martyred women.
In spite of these setbacks, Ursula is said to have been the mother of Conan's first son, Gadeon, after Conan met up with her and married her in Rome. Gadeon went on to become a king of Dumnonia.

Vasseur, Charles, the grantee of Park lot No. 6, Tiny, in 1834. He was born at St. Maurice, Quebec, served with the "Voltigeurs,: then went west with the Hudsons Bay Company. He joined the British forces and was at the capture of Mackinaw in 1812. There were six brothers and all went to Mackinaw and followed the British to Drummond Island, thence to Penetanguishene. While at Mackinaw Charles married a young half-breed woman, named Marguerite Langlade, a near relative of the famous Captain Langlade and cousin of the Langlades of Tiny. Charles and several others, under Captain James Darling, walked all the way to Toronto and back during the Rebellion of 1837. He brought the first cow and the first yoke of oxen ever used in Penetanguishene from Georgia, around by Point Mara, the "Narrows" (Orillia) and Coldwater, thence home; the latter portion of the way being only an Indian trail so narrow and bad that he often had to carry the yoke on his shoulders and drive the animals ahead in single file. His mother visited Penetanguishene twice while living at Mackinaw, after which she moved to Green Bay, Wis., where she died. Charles drowned near Manitoulin Island, where his remains are buried. His wife died at Ontonagon, Mich., where is son Louis still lives. He had a family of fifteen children, only the eldest having been born on Drummond Island. I gleaned these reminscences from his son Paul, living at Penetanguishene, who claims that his father had a medal won fighting for the British, but that it has been lost. | VASSEUR Charles (I55227)

Jean, Sieur de la Motte-Desgry, councillor in the Parliament of Paris, husband of Louise le Maistre, was the father of Antoinette Lhuillier, who married Claude de Marle.[1]
Jean Luillier is named, as minor child of a first marriage, among the heirs of Imbert Luillier on 4 February 1496.[2]
In 1506, as heir of Imbert Luillier, seigneur of la Motte d'Egry, he did homage for the land and seigneury of la Motte d'Egry.[3] One source also shows Jean as seigneur of Boissy-le-Brouart.
He probably died before 25 February 1536, at which date "the late Jean Lhuillier" is replaced by Bertrand Lelièvre as councillor.[4] The distribution of his and his wife Louise Le Maistre's estate took place in 1543.[5]
An obligation of 24 October 1539 notes Étienne LaPite sieur de Courances was the tutor/guardian of the minor children of the deceased couple Jean Luillier and Louise Lemaitre. These were Antoinette and Madeleine who were the sisters of Étienne's second wife Michelle Luillier. (Étienne is also mentioned in Antoinette's marriage contract of 1545.) Étienne appears to have died in July 1548, his widow requested an inventory on 6 August of that year, which noted the family was living on the rue Saint-Antoine in Paris. Michelle herself contracted a second marriage in 1560.[6]
Estimated birth date
He was born before 1485 since at this date his father, Imbert Luillier, was already married to his second wife Françoise de Marigné.[7]
Since his mother Marguerite Bracque's birth can be estimated as circa 1450 (her parents marriage was contracted in 1445) and Jean was one of four children born before 1485, his birth circa 1475 seems a reasonable estimate. He was probably the oldest son as he inherited the seigneury held by his father Imbert Luillier.

Very little is known of this person. Historical records do not identify the wife of King Malcolm II of Scotland. There is some evidence to suggest she was from Ossory, Ireland.[1] As she married a king it is likely she is a highborn lady from the Kingdom of Ossary (Osriage) but even this is not certain.
Some genealogists have put forth Sigurd I Magnusson (c. 1090 – 26 March 1130) as her father. Sigurd's wife, Blathmin O'Brien, also called Blathmin Ní Briain, Blathmin Ua Briain, being an Irish princess. This latter claim does not make sense as Malcolm was dead by 1034, long before Sigurd was born.
The seventeenth century historian Frederic van Bossen (citing Tulloch) claims that Malcolm's wife and the mother of his children was Gunnora, a daughter of the second duke of Normandy.[2]
Others suggest that Malcolm's wife was a daughter of Brian Boru (c. 941 – 23 April 1014), a famous King of Ireland. While this is at least possible, no one has as yet put forth any proof of this.
Possibly named Aelgifu.

Vigor, seigneur of Champagne (or Champaigne) was the son of Guillaume de Maillard and Elisabeth or Isabelle Whitney -known to French sources as Ysabeau Hutenay. In 1477 Vigor married Renée de la Vove daughter of Pierre de la Vove and Michelle de Tourneboeuf.[1][2] The couple were the parents of a son Jacques who married Bénigne LeBouteillier.
Research notes
On the seigneurie of Champagne see the notes on his son Jacques’ profile, but it should not be confused with the former French province of Champagne.

Vina's sister Amanda also ended up in St. Paul. She married Milton W. Taylor born 1854 in Wisconsin, in late 1888 or 89. She maybe had married for the first time in 1878, but at this time I don't know to whom or where. Milton may have children from his first marriage but they had no children together. He also worked for the railroad as a car repainter. They lived at #925 Fremont St., St. Paul. They witnessed the marriage of George Smith and Vina Pulsifer on April 17th, 1888, at the Ramsey County Courthouse in St. Paul, Minnesota. Lorraine talked many times of visisting Aunt and Uncle Taylor, because they lived close to the Smith home on 3rd Street. When she and her brother Bob were all dressed up for their 1st Communion they were taken to see Aunt and Uncle Taylor. Uncle Taylor answered the door and wanted to know who the bride and groom were, a happy memory for a little girl. | TAYLOR Milton W. (I37218)

Luther Sisson's obituary in the "Yates County Chronicle" 5 January 1871: Luther Sisson (77 years and 5 days) died at his home in Dresden, January 2, 1871. He was the son of George and his wife Bethany Luther Sisson, natives of Rhode Island. His parents were firm and devoted members of the Friend's Society [led by "the Friend" Jemima Wilkinson, not to be confused with the Society of Friends, the Quakers], and his birth Dec 27, 1793, is said to have been the third in the Friend's Settlement. He was the youngest of the children. His brothers were Benoni and Jonathan, and his sisters Lydia and Lament. Benoni married Mary Meek, and was the father of John and James Sisson of Jerusalem. Jonathan married Catherine Vosbinder and was the father of six children, among whom is Harrison H. Sisson of Jerusalem. Lydia married isaac Prosser and has a son living in Torrey. Lament was the wife of Richard Hayes. George Hayes, her son, lived in Dresden. Luther Sisson grew up under the immediate influence of the Friend's Society, attending the meetings with his parents. In conversation with the writer of this notice in 1868, he spoke with the highest respect of the Friend, and declared in the most emphatic terms that he held statements adverse to her integrity to be utterly false. Mr. Sisson was one of the early school teachers having commenced at the age of 19 in Larzelere Hollow in Jerusalem in 1812. He taught school several years, and was at one time a clerk in the store of William Huston at Eddytown. He married Sarah Maria, sister of Wright Brown, Jr. of Torrey who is still living. They had a son, Charles H. Sisson, who resides at Dresden. Mr. Sisson was in his more vigorous years a man of activity and quietness of thought, and nearly always held some town office. In 1854 and 1855 he was supervisor of the Town of Torrey. As a constable he frequently attended court at Canandaigua, before Yates County was erected, and took a number of persons to jail there when imprisonment for debt was the law of the land. He was a Justice of the Peace, a teacher, merchant, and farmer by turns, and lived to a good old age, retaining his mental vivacity to the lastest period. He was a descendant of Richard and Mary Sisson of 1608 ca. | Sisson Luther (I52744)

Vratislav was the younger son of Bořivoj, Duke of Bohemia and Ludmila. He became Duke of Bohemia in 915 after the death of his older brother Spytihněv. He continued the policies started by his brother which established the Přemyslids as the preeminent ruling family of Bohemia. The sparse historical records do not allow to attribute specific details to each brother, but it is certain that in 897 several Bohemian princes represented Bohemia in Regensburg whereas in 929 Vratislav's son Vaclav was the sole ruler of the land.[1]
Vratislav married around 906 Drahomíra of Stodor, the probable daughter of the leader of the Hevellians, also known as Stodorans, a tribe of the Polabian Slavs.
The chronicle Gesta Hungarorum states that he died February 13, 921, most likely from wounds suffered during a Hungarian raid into Bohemia and Moravia.[2][3]

Count Gerolf Frisia received as reward for his role in expelling the Normans of the East Frankish king Arnulf van Karinthië on August 4 889 some goods in Teisterbant in full ownership . It involved a number of farms and houses, among other Tiel, Aalburg and Asch. Gerolf had two sons, Waldger and Dirk . Dirk the progenitor of the counts of Holland, was 898-928 Waldger was listed as Earl of Teisterbant. [2] He was succeeded by his son Radboud, possibly called "Poppo".
History - The Teisterbant name probably comes from the Gaelic and means approximately "rightward" (compare infest the Latin dexter, that "right" means). It would be the counterpart of Swifterbant , 'leftward'. It was already a well-known area in 8th century. [1] From 843 ( Treaty of Verdun ) to the death of Lothair II in 869 heard Teisterbant under the kingdom Lorraine . Then came Teisterbant 870 ( Treaty of Meerssen ) to Lothario's uncle Lodewijk de Duitser and became part of East Francia .
[1]
Snippet from Wikipedia
Doubts about the founding of the House of Holland
Only since the late nineteenth century is Gerolf regarded as the founder of the House of Holland. This is based on a poem composed around 1120. It locates the tombs where members of the house were interred. The poem begins with: "The first Dirk, brother of Waldger was a glorious man ..." In another work Waldger is named: "Waldgarius Freso, Gerulfi filius", which translates as: "Waldger the Frisian, son of Gerolf".
However, it appears unusual that, following the death of Gerolf, the eldest son Waldger received Teisterbant, while the younger brother Dirk inherited the comital title, although the title wasn't necessarily inheritable, but often rather by appointment. Also surprising is that Waldger's eldest son was named Radboud and a possible second son (or other relation) of his was named Hatto. It was customary in those days, that the eldest son received the name of his father's father. It is therefore thought that Gerolf was not the father but the foster-father of Waldger and Dirk. Filius in this case meaning foster-son.
The most likely candidate for the biological father of Dirk and Waldger is Radboud, prince of the Frisians.

About Waldrade de Worms, Mistress of Lothaire II of Lotharingia
Lothaire II's Mistress (1): (from [855]) WALDRADA, daughter of --- (-9 Apr after 868). One manuscript of the Gesta Treverorum names "Waldradam sororem…Guntheri Coloniensis archiepiscopus" when recording her adulterous relationship with King Lothaire II[45].
The Cæsarii Heisterbacensis Catalogus of archbishops of Köln records that the concubine of "Lotharius" was "Waldradam, sororem Guntheri archiepiscopi Coloniensis" and that her brother encouraged Lothaire to leave his legitimate wife for Waldrada, for which he was excommunicated by the Pope[46].
The Annales Novesienses record that “Guntherus episcopus Coloniensis” had “sororem…Vastradam…aliis Waldradam” whom “dux Lotharingiæ Lotharius…superdixit” after her brother approved his divorce from “legitima uxore Tyberga”[47].
According to Baron Ernouf[48], Gunther archbishop of Köln was uncle of Waldrada and Thetgaud archbishop of Trier was her brother, but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified.
The Annales Bertiniani names "Hlotharius Waldradam concubinam" when recording that Lothaire purported to marry her in 862 and crowned her with the support of "Liutfrido avunculo suo et Waltario"[49].
Waldrada was also related to the Etichonen Grafen im Nordgau (ALSACE), as shown by the Vita Sancti Deicoli which names "Waldrada…Heberardo comitis consanguinitatis"[50], but the precise relationship is not known.
Folcuin records King Lothaire's excommunication after repudiating his wife for Waldrada[51].
King Lothaire purported to marry Waldrada in [Aug/Sep] 862 and crowned her as Queen, but this was not recognised by the church[52].
She became a nun at Remiremont.
King Lothaire II had four illegitimate children by Mistress (1):
a) HUGUES ([855/60]-after 895). Duke of Alsace 867, until after Aug 869. The Annales Bertiniani record that King Lothaire invested "filioque suo de Waldrada Hugoni" with "ducatum Elisatium" in 867[53]. Herimannus names "Hugonem, Lotharii regis ex Waldrada filium" when recording his rebellion in 879[54]. After his father's death, Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks invaded Alsace and Hugues was obliged to submit to him. The Gesta Francorum records that "Hugo, Hlutharii et Waldrada filius" caused tyranny in France in 879[55]. Pope John VIII excommunicated "Hugonem Lotharii Regis quondam filium non legitimum" in 878[56]. Hugues challenged Louis II "le Bègue" and his son Louis III "le Jeune" in Lotharingia in 879, but was defeated in 880 and swore allegiance at Gondreville in May 881 to Louis "le Jeune" who gave him the abbey of Lobbes. The Annales Fuldenses record that Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks sent "legatis nepotum suorum" to fight "Hugonem tyrannidem exercentem in Gallia" in 880[57]. Charles III "le Gros" King of the East Franks gave him domains of the Bishopric of Metz in 882, but Hugues rebelled in the same year, was defeated once more and took refuge in Burgundy. He rebelled again in 885 and sought support from his brother-in-law Gotfrid in Frisia[58]. The Annales Vedastini record that "Hugo…filius Hlotharii regis" was blinded in 885 on the advice of "Heinrico duce"[59]. He was shut in the monastery of Fulda, later transferred to Sankt-Gallen, and finally to the abbey of Prüm[60]. m (883) as her fourth husband, FRIDERADA, widow firstly of ENGUERRAND, secondly of BERNARIUS, and thirdly of WICBERT, daughter of ---. Regino names "Friderada" as wife of "Engilrammo ex qua filiam quam postmodem Richwinus comes in coniugem accepti", also referring to her subsequent marriages[61]. "Hugo filius Lotharii Regis" had "Wicbertum comitem" murdered and married his wife "Frideradam" in 883[62].
b) GISELA ([860/65]-[21 May/26 Oct] 907). Regino records the marriage in 882 of "Gisla filia Hlotharii" and "rex Godofridus Nordmannorum"[63]. The Annales Fuldenses record the marriage of "Gotafrid Nordmannus qui superiore anno fuerat baptizatus" and "Hugone Hlutharii filio eiusque sororem" in 883[64]. Abbess at Nivelles and Fosses, after her husband died. "Zendeboldus…rex" gave "proprietatem…in loco…VII Fontes" to "propinqua nostra…Kisla…regis Lotharii filia…abbatisse" by charter dated 30 Jul 896[65]. "Zuendebolchus…rex" gave property to "neptis nostre…Gissele…Nyuialensis abbaciæ" for her abbey by charter dated 26 Jul 897[66]. m (882) GODEFRID, son of HARALD "Klak" & his wife --- (-murdered Jun 885). He was one of the leaders of the Danes who ravaged large parts of territory between the Rhine and the Somme. He converted to Christianity, and Emperor Charles "le Gros" granted him large parts of Frisia as dux.
c) BERTA ([863]-8 Mar 925, bur Lucca, Santa Maria). "Hugo comes et marchio" names "patris mei Teutbaldi et matris meæ Berthe…" in a donation by charter dated 924[67]. "Berte" is also named as mother of "Hugo rex" in the latter's donation to Cluny for the souls of his parents dated 8 Mar 934[68]. Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the Annales Bertiniani which name "Hugonem Lotharii iunioris filium" and “sororium illius Theutbaldum” in 880[69]. Her origin and second marriage are confirmed by the epitaph of "Comitissæ…Bertha" specifies that she was "uxor Adalberti Ducis Italiæ…regalis generi…filia Lotharii" and records her death in 925[70]. Liudprand provides the proof that Berta, who married Marchese Adalberto, was the widow of Theotbald when he names "Berta matre regis Hugonis", specifying that she was previously married to Adalberto, when recording her death[71]. She was regent of Tuscany after the death of her second husband in 915. m firstly ([879/80]) THEOTBALD [Thibaut] Comte d’Arles, son of HUBERT d'Arles, Comte de Transjuranie & his wife --- (-[Jun 887]/[895]). m secondly ([895/98]) ADALBERTO II Marchese of Tuscany, Conte e Duca di Lucca, son of ADALBERT I Marchese of Tuscany & his wife Rothildis of Spoleto (-[10/19] Sep 915, bur Lucca Cathedral).
d) ERMENGARDE (-6 Aug after [895/898], bur Lucca, Santa Giustina). Her epitaph at Lucca records the death "VIII Id Aug" of "Ermingardis…dicata deo" as daughter of "rex…Lotharius"[72]. Nun at Santa Giustina in Lucca. Gingins-la-Sarra suggests that Ermengarde was the wife of Berlion [I] Vicomte de Vienne, suggesting that she went to Provence with her sister Berta who married Thibaut Comte d´Arles[73]. He says that the charter dated 25 Dec 923, under which “Ludwicus…imperator augustus” confirmed property “in comitatu Viennensi seu et in Lugdunensi in villa…Tadernaco” to “Ingelbertus…et uxori eius Nonie” (Engelbert being this couple´s son)[74], refers to Engelbert as “propinquus” of the emperor. He says that the term was never used in charters which name Berlion [I] and therefore deduces that the relationship must have been through Engelbert´s mother. However, the text of the charter in question does not appear to apply the word “propinquus” specifically to Engelbert. It is used in the phrase “propinquorum et fidelium suorum”, as part of the introductory words in the charter, while Engelbert is named in the document as “fidelis noster”. There appears to be no other basis for this speculation. If the hypothesis were correct, it would be difficult to explain why Ermengarde would have left Provence (presumably after the death of her supposed husband, dated to [912]) and established herself as a nun at Lucca, while her two sons remained in Provence.

Lothair II of Lotharingia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lothair, whose desire for the divorce was prompted by his affection for his mistress, Waldrada, put away Theutberga, but Hucbert took up arms on her behalf, and after she had submitted successfully to the ordeal of water, Lothair was compelled to restore her in 858. Still pursuing his purpose, he won the support of his brother, Emperor Louis II, by a cession of lands and obtained the consent of the local clergy to the divorce and to his marriage with Waldrada, which took place in 862.
A synod of Frankish bishops met at Metz in 863 and confirmed this decision, but Teutberga fled to the court of Charles the Bald, and Pope Nicholas I voided the decision of the synod. An attack on Rome by the emperor was without result, and in 865 Lothair, threatened with excommunication and convinced that Louis and Charles at their recent meeting had discussed the partition of his kingdom, again took back his wife. Teutberga, however, either from inclination or compulsion, now expressed her desire for a divorce, and Lothair went to Italy to obtain the assent of the new pope, Adrian II. Placing a favourable interpretation upon the words of the pope, he had set out on the return journey, when he was seized with fever and died at Piacenza on the August 8, 869. He left, by Waldrada, a son Hugo who was declared illegitimate, and his kingdom was divided between his uncles Charles the Bald and Louis the German by the Treaty of Mersen.

Walter de Beauchamp, of Elmley Castle, Worcestershire, died 1130-1133[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
The origin of William de Beauchamp is uncertain. Baker[3], tentatively, and then Burke[4] linked him to a Hugh de Beauchamp of Bedfordshire.
His year of birth is unknown and is estimated as c 1080.
Marriage and Children
His wife was a daughter and heiress of Urso d'Abitot, constable of the castle of Worcester and hereditary sheriff of Worcestershire (who was brother of Robert le Despenser, steward to the Conqueror).[1][2][3][4][5][8][9] That her name was Emmeline was first noted by Dugdale in his work of the 17th century.[1] There are, however, no primary sources which verify her name was Emmeline.
The marriage is presumed to have been before 1114.[7]
Children:
William de Beauchamp/de Bellocampo[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][10] (may have married Berta or Maud, daughter of William Braose[3][4]; succeeded his father as dispencer before 1133[7])
[uncertain] Walter de Beauchamp[7]
Regarding William:
Willelmus de Bello campo omnibus ministris suis et ballivis de Wirecestre scira salutem, Sciatis me concessise et confirmasse donationem illam, quam pater meus Walterus fecit Priori et Monachis de Wirecestria de una virgata terrae quam Elfredus capellanus Ursonis de Abbetot avi mei tenuit. Et volo, ut teneant eam liberam et quietam de geldis et omnibus secularibus exactionibus, sicut elemosinam patris mei et matris meae. [Confirmation by William de Bellocampo of a gift made by his father Walter of land held by William's grandfather Urso Abbitot].[11]
Regarding Walter:
In 1166 a Walter de Bellocampo held half a fee in Worcestershire of the Abbey of Westminster.[10]
Lands
"Walter de Beauchamp, of Elmley Castle, Worcestershire, having married Emeline, daughter and heiress of Urso d'Abitot, constable of the castle of Worcester and hereditary sheriff of Worcestershire (who was brother of Robert le Despenser, steward to the Conqueror), was invested with that sheriffalty by King Henry I, and obtained a grant from the same monarch (to whom he was already steward), of the bulk of the lands (specifically those of Worcestershire), belonging to Roger d'Abitot of Worcester, with a confirmation of certain lands given to him by Adelise, widow of his father-in-law, the said Urso."[4]
Elmley Castle was the caput of the Worcestershire honour of the Beauchamps. The chief part of the honour descended to them from Urse the Sheriff, but Elmley Castle came to them from Robert, Urse's brother. The honour seems to have consisted of the land which Urse held of the Bishop of Worcester in 1086, and was held in 1166 and in the 13th century by the Beauchamps for fifteen knights' fees.[8]
The manors of Wick, Holt and Little Witley, in Worcestershire, were held by Urso d'Abitot and passed to the Beauchamps.[12]
Urso d'Abitot's lands at Redmarley, Worcestershire, passed to his descendants the Beauchamps, who continued as mesne lords until they acquired the manor at the beginning of the 15th century.[13]
Salwarpe, Worcestershire: In 1114, Roger d'Abitot's lands were granted to Walter de Beauchamp.[14]
Death
He died between 1130 and 1133.[10]
Research Notes
According to Baker[3] Walter de Beauchamp had a son Stephen de Beauchamp who married Isolde, daughter of Robert Ferrers. However, Isolde was said to be a widow in 1185, with a son aged four and five daughters.[15] In Medlands[7], Stephen was placed as a son of a Richard de Beauchamp.

Walter de Cormeilles was born about 1157, probably at Hope where his family had resided since the manor was granted to his great-grandfather Ansfrid de Cormeilles, before the Domesday Survey in 1086.[1] The manor of Hope was in Greytree hundred, Herefordshire, England.[2]
Walter was the son of Richard Cormeilles son of Richard Cormeilles.[1]
Richard de Cormeilles, the Hereford baron, died in 1177, holding the Honour of Cormeilles which in Gloucestershire included land in Elkstone, two fees in Elkstone, one fee in Winstone, one fee in Weston Marmium, 1/2 fee in Norton Giffard, and many smaller estates.[3] Also in 1177, Beatrice, the widow of Richard de Cormeilles, the Hereford baron, paid 40 marks for her land, probably in Winston and Norton.[3] In 1180, Beatrice, Richard's widow, owed 60 marks.[3]
Walter was the brother of:
Richard de Cormeilles, the great Hereford baron, who in 1192, represented by his brother, Walter, paid for a writ of mort d'ancestor for a decision regarding half a fee in Winston[4] or Winson, Bibury parish, Gloucestershire.
Walter married Albreda Marmion[1] had four known children, all daughters, who divided his inheritance four ways:[5]
Margaret Cormeilles, who married (1) Walter de Stokes, by whom she had two heiresses, and (2) Hugh le Poer.
Alice, who married (1) Thomas son of William and (2) Godfrey de Craycumbe or Crawcombe. She died without issue and her inheritance went to the families of her sisters.
Sibyl, who married (1) Ralph Belet and (2) Hugh Giffard, with whom she had issue.
Albreda, who was married to John [?Richard] le Brun.[1]
Walter died about 1204, as explained by Sanders:[5]:
In 1203 Walter was given quittance for scutage but in 1204-6 his lands were controlled by Peter de Stokes (Pipe Roll, 5 John, p.57; idem 8 John, pp. 66, 68; C.R. 1204-24, p.5).
After Walter's death, his estates were partitioned between his four daughters.[1] Margaret received the manors of Hope and Aston, County Hereford, the manor of Pauntley and other land in Gloucestershire.[1]

Walter was the son of Elias Giffard and Bertha FitzRichard/FitzPons. He and his parents are named in the the a record of the period 1148-1179. He lived at Boyton, Wiltshire. He and his brother Gilbert are recorded in 1177.[1] His birth date is not known and has been guesstimated.
Note
The following is excerpted from a post to SGM, 2 Jun 2002, by Ivor West:
"The Boyton line and the Brimsfield line of John Giffard, 1231 - 1299, come together at the common ancestor, Elias II of Brimsfield. Elias III and Walter of Boyton, father of Hugh, were brothers. This makes John Giffard of Brimsfield second cousin to bishop Godfrey of Boyton and to Willam, the suggested father of Margaret. Because of the longer generations in the Brimsfield line, John and Margaret would seem to be related as alleged, in the third and fourth degrees ( John - Elias IV - Elias III - Elias II ), ( Margaret - William - Hugh - Walter - Elias II )."[2]

Waltheof was involved in a revolt, although he never openly rebelled against the King. Nevertheless, he was jailed and after more than a year was executed by beheading on St Giles's Hill outside Winchester on 31 May 1076.[6]
"Waltheof was the last of the Old English earls to survive under William I, his execution for treason in 1076 marking a significant stage in the aristocratic and tenurial revolution which followed 1066.
As one of the few English magnates not from the Godwin faction, he accepted and was accepted by William I, witnessing royal charters and remaining loyal to the new regime until 1069 when he joined with the Danes in their invasion of Northumbria.
He was prominent in their capture of York, hoping, no doubt, to be restored to his father's position. This opportunism is perhaps more characteristic of English magnate reactions to the political turmoil of 1065-70 than any supposed national feeling. However, the revolt and invasion were defeated by William's winter campaign of 1069-70.
It is a measure of William's insecurity that when Waltheof submitted in 1070 he was restored to royal favour and, in 1072, added the earldom of Northumbria to his holdings. To bind him more tightly to the Norman dispensation, William gave him his niece Judith in marriage. But in 1075, Waltheof was implicated in the largely French revolt led by Ralph, earl of Norfolk, and Roger, earl of Hereford. Despite his lack of military action, his confession, apparent contrition and the support of Archbishop Lanfranc, Waltheof was executed on 31 May 1076.
The king's motives are obscure. Waltheof was the only prominent Englishman to be executed in the reign. Perhaps his removal was part of William's justifiably nervous response to the problem of controlling Northumbria. It may have made sense to take the chance to remove a potential --- and proven --- focus of northern discontent. Yet Waltheof's heirs were not harried, one daughter, Matilda, marrying David I of Scotland (1042-53), and another Ralph IV of Tosny, a leading Norman baron.
Waltheof is a significant reminder that the period around 1066 was transitional, with no necessarily definite beginnings or endings. Waltheof adapted to the new order, falling foul, it seems, of the ambitions and schemes of others, not least of parvenus Frenchmen. He married into the new elite, yet embodied the old. Heir to both English and Anglo-Danish traditions, it was he who completed one of the most celebrated of Anglo-Saxon blood-feuds.
In 1016, Uchtred, earl of Northumbria was murdered by a northern nobleman called Thurbrand. He was, in turn, killed by Uchtred's son and successor, Ealdred, who was himself slain by Thurbrand's son, Carl. Waltheof's mother was Ealdred's daughter and he avenged his great-grandfather and grandfather by massacring a number of Carl's sons.
Burial
bur. Crowland Abbey where,[7]
(Royal Ancestry) Waltheof, Earl of Northumberland was executed at Winchester, Hampshire 31 May 1075 (or 1076). Two weeks afterwards the king allowed his body to be removed to Croyland Abbey, Lincolnshire, where the abbot buried him in the chapterhouse.; his remains were subsequently translated into the church near the altar.
Waltheof had posthumous fame in a cult that venerated him as a saint by the mid-twelfth century[8] Yet his career in the north shows that not far beneath the measured tones of Norman propagandists or the efficient gloss of English bureaucratic procedures simmered the violence of Dark Age epic.[9]

When the coffin was opened, it is reported that the corpse was found to be intact with the severed head re-joined to the trunk. This was regarded as a miracle, and the abbey, which had a financial interest in the matter began to publicise it. As a result, pilgrims began to visit Waltheof’s tomb.
After a few years healing miracles began to occur in the vicinity of Waltheof’s tomb, often involving the restoration of the pilgrim’s lost sight.

WARNING
(see image below) This profile derives from a genealogy going back to Adam, constructed by Archdeacon Ralph de Diceto for William, King of Scots. Expert historians do not agree on dates for individuals in this period of Scots/Irish history
Biography
Research Notes
Eochad Riada (the same as Caipre Riada), son of Conaire, son of Mog Lama is listed as an ancestor of William, King of Scots by Ralph de Diceto in his Imagines Hlstoriarum; and included by Allan Orr Anderson in his Scottish annals from English chroniclers, A.D. 500 to 1286
Cairpre Riata, ancestor of the Dál Riata; & of the Síl Conairi (Carbrey alias Eochaid Riada, a quo Dal Riada in Scotland) Parts of the northern Irish counties of Antrim and Derry once comprised the ancient territory of Dalriada, named after Cairbre Riada, son of Conaire, the second monarch of Ireland in the second century. [1]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conaire_C%C3%B3em Looking at the disputed dates for the father: The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with that of the Roman emperor Commodus (180–192).[2] The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 136–143,[3] that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 157–165.[4] His children including the one on this profile: Conaire had three sons by Conn's daughter Saraid. From his third son came the Síl Conairi, named after Conaire Cóem himself or his ancestor Conaire Mór.
Cairpre Músc, ancestor of the Múscraige and Corcu Duibne
Cairpre Baschaín, ancestor of the Corcu Baiscind
Cairpre Riata, ancestor of the Dál Riata
So, Father's dates from above earliest 136 and latest 180 as the start of this reign. Latest date of death is 192. So all of the children would need to be born prior to 192 as worst case. I think we can safely put before 275 as a date of death allowing for a long life which was not really the norm back then.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lieutenant Edward Annable
1753-1836
Revolutionary War Campaigner
On March 11, 1948, Mr. F. R. Blair of General Motors Overseas Operations, New York, wrote about Lieut. Edward Annable, his Revolutionary ancestor, and loaned the following letter, circa 1887, to Anthony Anable (9th generation) to be copied. This letter was written by Fernando C. Annable, son of Lieut. Annable, to Desire Fuller Ormsby, his niece. She was the grandmother of Mr. Blair.
----------------------
Letter from Fernando C. Annable to his niece, Desire Fuller Ormsby, circa 1887:
"Respected Niece-
Go back in your imaginaion to colonial days-so far that the mist of time makes many things obscure and tradition may magnify the facts--there lived two girls, Dolly Dimick and her sister, Desire Dimick, belles of Boston. Dolly married John Ellis, Jr., and Desire married Samuel Annable, Jr. They moved to Ashfield (New York) and were farmers. This John Ellis, Jr. and Dolly Dimick had a son Dimick Ellis, who married his cousin, Polly Annable, the daughter of Samuel Annable, Jr., both of whom died in Sempronius (New York),and the first funeral I remember of going to was hers. She was over ninety when she died and now I am eighty-two. (This will give you some idea of time.)
"This Dimick Ellis and Polly Annable had a son, who is now living in Brooklyn (New York) and has become wealthy in the oil trade. He has written many pamphlets on the new dispensation of Swedenborg (as he calls it ) and last summer went to Europe, and lectured in one of their institutions. He has sent me a number of his books. He is Puritan, purified by Swendenborg. I never saw him but think he is older than I am by a few years. You can easily find him, and he will be delighted to see you.
"Your Grandfather, Edward Annable (my father) was eighteen years old when the battle of Lexington was fought and, as soon as he heard the news, he went down to Boston (about 70 miles) and enlisted for a short time, and was at the battle of Bunker Hill. He had some powder and three bullets and one of them was a pewter one. (This I heard him say often.) His father was a Tory, and, when he heard that Edward had enlisted, he hoped he would never come back. (This last item my mother told me.)
"Now I will relate what I have heard him relate of the Stony Point attack and surrender. When the men for that attack were called for, the regiment to which he belonged was paraded in a straight line and it was announced by an officer (I think Anthony Wayne, but am not sure) that a certain expedition was required and of so dangerous a nature that it would be no disgrace to any soldier should he decline it, but all who desired to be detailed might shoulder arms. All arms were shouldered. Then an officer passed along the line and touched every other man, saying to him, "Advance". This new line was told again that the expedition was a dangerous one, and it should be no disgrace to decline, but no one would decline, and no one thought of Stony Point.
"Out of these men so detailed, a forlorn hope (as father called it) were drawn by ballot to carry axes to cut away the abates. There was a Virginian who was not drawn on the forlorn hope, who told a soldier who was drawn, that his father, who was a planter in Virginia would honor any draft he might draw on him which he would give him, to have his chance in the forlorn hope. This was refused and the Virginian haughtily turned round and said, "I have ever been unfortunate from birth. I have reason to curse my wayward stars. I came within one of dying on the field of honor." Father told me this story more than once when I was a small boy, and it made such an impression on me, to think that a man wanted to die in battle, that I have remembered it until now.
"Father was on guard in camp and could distinctly hear the cannon, but did not know where it was. After the expedition had gone out, which everybody knew but did not know what for, Washington was seen walking forward and back in very measured steps. When the cannon was heard he stopped, stood motionless until it ended, and then walked rapidly to his quarters and was not seen again that night. The next morning a messenger brought the news of the surrender. It was then that father's company, or a detail from the regiment (I don't know which), was ordered to Stony Point to relieve Wayne and his men. When he went in to the fort, the clotted blood was to be seen on the ground and looked like butchering hogs (as he expressed it to me).
"Father first enlisted for a short period and subsequently for the duration of the war. He never took a furlough, but continued in the service till the close of the war. I do not know at what time he became a lieutenant, but the only captain I ever heard him speak of was Captain Wigglesworth, a Prussian officer, highly educated, who brought many books with him and came over with Lafayette. He had served under Frederick, the Great. He was a very courteous gentleman, well beloved in camp, but a tyrant on parade. From him I think father obtained his education, which was considerable, especially in writing and Roman history.
"Father was one of the detailed guard that conducted (Major) Andre to the gallows, and who stood close by. He distincly heard his last words. I will tell you the story as he told it to me.
"He was a slim man and had a long neck, and, after taking off his neck handkerchief, he took out three pins from his collar and wove them into his coat sleeve very nicely. His hand trembled while doing it. He was blindfolded and his arms were very loosely tied behind him. Then Colonel Schamel said to him, "if he had anything to say, he could say it now" Then, with some little effort, he raised the handkerchief from his eyes and said, "Gentlemen, I wish you to bear me witness that I meet my fate like a brave man." Then turning towards Colonel Schamel said, "Gentlemen, you may proceed". (These last words were not in the proof sheets you saw and I have called the writer's attention to it).
"Father was in the battle of Saratoga, but I never heard him say much about it, that I remember, more than that there was firing going on at different times for three days. He was in the battle of Brandywine, but I do not remember that he said much about that, but often spoke of it and of Lafayette who he thought was a brilliant young man and did well that day. He was not at Yorktown when Cornwallis surrendered, but was left under (General) Putnam with the New England troops to watch New York City, which that general always wanted to attack and was always importuning Washington to do, and was discontented because he was denied the privilege of doing so.
"The battle of Monmouth is a long story as he told it to me. I have never written it before, nor have I told it to my children, but this is what he said about it. It was the hottest day he ever saw, and his regiment went into that battle in their shirt sleeves. They piled their coats on the ground and a guard was placed over them. He was in Lee's division who made the first and abortive attack, for which Lee was censured so severely by Washington. His division again marched forward to the front and received the enemy's fire until they retreated. Following up their retreat was terrible suffering. The enemy filled up the wells behind them. There were no streams nor water to be had and men fell out of the ranks exhausted. On this retreat they found (I think) seven dead Hessions in the shade of an apple tree, who wore their uniforms buttoned up, as on parade, who were not wounded, but had died of heat.
"Father said he saw much of Washington that day, galloping his horse about the field, stopping for a few moments in one place and going to another for a few seconds. At one time he stopped, then he galloped off to some other place. I have heard him say that some soldiers died of drinking water, but nothing about Washington's care for them, but probably other officers took care of their soldiers, who knew the danger. I remember that it was thought the heat and fatigue of that day caused his fever sore, and it may be true, but I now think it was probably due to another cause, and I will give you my reason.
"Washington wanted to remove the army sixty miles distant. (I do not remember when nor where.) There was no enemy on the route, and the men were told they might break ranks and go as they pleased. A strife got up to see who would go the farthest, and father was one of the few who went through the first day. He carried his musket, cartridge box with twelve rounds of powder and balls, his canteen, three day's provisions, and all the clothes he wore for one year. Twice he performed a similar feat. My mother said he had for years varicose veins, or bunches, as she called them, in the veins many years before they broke out into a sore-but this is beside the question.
"All these stories were told to me while a small boy, often to keep me at work. He taught me the letter which Andre wrote to Washington to change the mode of his death, which I can repeat yet, and when I was old enought to read them in history I was greatly surprised to find them printed, for I really supposed that father and I were the only persons that knew it.
"Now I have written you a great deal of history that will do you no good if you take the trouble to read it, and it will do you but little hurt if you never tell of it, and I promise never to do it again.
Yours Sincerely,
(signed) F. C. Annable

Reverend Clement H. Beaulieu
Bayfield Progress Newspaper
Bayfield, WI
Tuesday, October 16, 1916
Reverend Clement H. Beaulieu, of Le Sueur, Minnesota, has revisited the place of his birth. Though well past man's allotted span of life and without any particular pull from those "fond recollections" of which the he speaks he has entertained longing to once again see the region were the days of his childhood were spent. Accompanying friends to Ashland, he seized the opportunity afforded him, came to the city Friday and crossed by boat to Madeline Island, setting foot once again upon the soil not trod during a period of 68 years.
Reverend Beaulieu’s father, whose name was identical with the sons, was stationed on Madeline Island for some years as agent for American Fur Company, the great early day corporation which builded the fortune that the New York Astor family have since been adding to and spending.
The island post, a fort like structure, was attached to what the corporation new as the Fond du Lac District, the headquarters being at the head of Lake Superior where the city of Duluth has since come into being. In log-walled room within the Madeline island fort the claimant was born in on a rigorous night in January twenty-year 1841. There, except for occasional family excursions to Fond du Lac, he remained (a brother and sister being his only playmates, except for the Indian children who lived on the island or whom crossed occasionally from the mainland with their fur-bartering parents) until 1848, in which year the family removed.
In the old, and now overgrown, burial ground that it joined the company post repose the bones of Reverend Clements’s paternal grandfather and those of his father's brother, both of whom died there while in service of the fur company. There also are the graves of the two Beaulieu children who died while the family lived on the island. These graves the visitor of last Friday found and to them he gave some attention. The lapse of years in the long lack of attention has resulted in the following of the marking slab's and in the partial obliteration of the inscriptions; but the most noticeable evidence of the passage of time was seen in the tree of body-large size that had grown squarely in the center of the graves of grandfather Beaulieu.
>From Madeline Island the family went to Minnesota, finally finding location in St. Paul when civilization had created such a place. The Reverend Beaulieu attended school, going finally to Elizabeth town, New Jersey, and in finishing just his schoolwork at Fay Academy. Entering his own ministry in the Protestant Episcopal Church, he has since served continuously in that work, that service being rendered chiefly within the state of Minnesota.
>From the state his brother Charles served with distinction and gallantry as captain of a company in the ninth Minnesota infantry during the Civil War. Despite his years of reverent Beaulieu is still vigorous somebody and agile of mind and, though there is no left in all this region practically nothing (not even the lands contour) to be recognized as of the long-ago, he greatly enjoyed his brief visit.

Wayne was born in Momence, IL, the third child and second son of Delia O'Connell and John Wilson, Jr. He went to one-room country schools and attended Momence High School.
He served in WWII in the Army Air Corp and was stationed at Chenute Field for a time. He was then sent to the Aleutian Islands.
Wayne was always working with his hands...he loved making things. In the service when plastic was first on the market, he made his niece, Sonja, a beautiful clear plastic heart that had a red interior, looking much like tiny veins. He also made himself a false tooth when he had a tooth that needed a crown instead of going to have it fixed by a dentist!
After he was discharged from the service, he returned to Grant Park, married and started an electrical business with his younger brother, Gaylord. They were known for miles around as the Wilson Bros. Electrical Contractors.
His love for making things extended to the making of wonderful, custom guns. These were muzzle-loaders made to exact replicas of days past. Every part of the gun, down to the screws were made by hand. His most prized possession was a muzzle-loader he had made and later willed it to his favorite niece, Sonja Mortensen, daughter of his sister, Ruby. Sonja has since given it to her only son, Raymond Black, to keep it in the family.
Wayne was the quiet one, unlike his siblings. He was serious, thoughtful and also very caring.
He had for sometime, been very ill. The doctor in Grant Park was treating him for a liver ailment. The area under his right lung was swollen. When his nephew, Dr. John Mortensen came to visit him and checked him over, he discovered the real problem was a severe heart condition and he was in heart failure. Wayne was taken immediately to the VA hospital where a pacemaker was implanted just under the skin. His nephew had saved his life for many more years. He regained his energy and strength after years of suffering from this unknown heart condition.
The misdiagnosis would not be the last in this family. The same doctor in Grant Park also misdiagnosed his brother, Jack, a few years later that resulted in his untimely death.

Weis, Ancestral Roots, says she was Aremburge, daughter of Henry, Count of Nevers, and Duke of Burgundy.
It appears that amongst the many merges leading to this article the name Vergy was taken, with a note placed to say it would be put in this way and marked uncertain.
In fact, this profile for the mother of Gervaise II, d. ca. 1095, lord of Château-du-Loir is the subject of an article on the Henry II website of Stewart and Farmerie. They state very simply:
"Elisabeth, whose parentage is unknown, was named by Gervais de Château-du-Loir as his mother in a charter of 1067×8 [Cart. Château-du-Loir 15-6], and she was still living in a charter dated about 1095 [Cart. Château-du-Loir 32], but deceased in a charter dated about 1097 [Cart. Château-du-Loir 32-3]."[1]
They give more information about her family on the article for her husband, Robert "Brochard" de Château-du-Loir.[2]

Welf (Hwelf) is the earliest documented ancestor of the Welf dynasty (sometimes known as Guelph, Guelf, Guelfe). His name is perhaps a shortened form of Welfhard or Bernwelf.[1]
The first time he appears in the records is in the Gesta Hludowici imperatoris (Life of Emperor Louis the Pious), written by Thegan of Trier in about 836-837,[2] where he is mentioned as the father of Louis' second wife, Judith; married in 819.
Ancestry
Although Welf was a noble in the Carolingian empire, its not clear exactly where. Thegan calls him a Duke in Bavaria ( Hwelfi ducis ... noblissima progenie Bawariorum) though he never held the title Duke or Count of Bavaria, which appears in many secondary sources.[3]
It's also possible he was a Count in Argengau a district later included in the Duchy of Swabia and also the northern section of the Kingdom of Burgundy, based on his possible father or grandfather, and then his son, ruling that area.
In secondary sources, he is often called Count of Altdorf, but again there are no primary sources to confirm this and it is later members of the family who ruled there.
His parentage is unknown, but his father or grandfather may have been Rothard (Ruothard/Chrothard), Count in Argengau,[4] see that profile for further details.
Another theory is that his father is Isanbart, a Count in Allemannia, the son of a Count Warin and Hadellinde.[3]
Birth date
The only date that can be assigned to him, is the marriage date of his daughter Judith in 819, when it would be supposed that he was still alive. Given that a birth date of about 800-805 is proposed for her and she is thought to be his eldest daughter and possibly eldest child[5] then a birth date of about 770 seems reasonable for Welf.
Family
His spouse was Heilwig, (family name unknown but from the nobility of Saxony)[6]
Judith (c.805 - 19 April 843), Empress and Queen of the Franks[1][2]
Konrad "l'Ancien" (d. 22 March 862/66), Graf von Linzgau und Argengau, Comte de Paris, husband of Adelais de Tours
Raoul/Rudolf I (d. 15 Oct 866), Comte de Sens, husband of Hruodun (d. after 867)
Emma/Hemma (d. 31 Jan 876), Queen of Bavaria and Carinthia[3]
Possible child
Hrodroh/Ruadroh, appears in a list of names after Konrad and Rudolf and before Hemma, and it thought to be another son, died 1 February, year unknown.[3]
Unverified children
Eticho, is listed in a late 12th century document; Historia Welforum Weingartensis, as the son of Welf, and ancestor of the German Welfs.[3] He has continued to appear in many works[7] but there are no primary documents that name him and he is thought to be legendary or at least not a son of Welf.
Deda (Edith), appears in online genealogies as the daughter of Welf and Heilwig, and married to Bernard de Toulouse, Count of Barcelona. According to Cawley, his wife is called Dhuoda (Doda) and her parents are unknown. There seems to be no primary sources that call her the daughter of Welf and Heilwig and the relationship must be from a much later source and should be disregarded.
Death
He died on 3 September, probably before about circa 825, when his wife was appointed Abbess of Chelles.[3]

Wellsboro Agitator, Tioga, PA-- Wednesday, October 9, 1912 Charles Bulkley, one of the best known farmers of the Cowanesque valley, died at his home in Osceola on Sept. 28, at 7 o'clock, following an illness of several months. He was born on the farm where he died, Nov. 25, 1827, and would have been 85 years old the 25th of the coming November. He was the son of Ira Bulkley and succeeded his father to the home farm and he also acquired by purchase the larger part of his grandfather's estate which gave him about 500 acres. He is survived by his third wife, also 2 daughters, Mrs Myra Tubbs, widow of the late Henry Tubbs, of Osceola and Carrie, wife of Dr. F. F. Knapp of Elkland. | Buckley Charles (I51709)

When first married, they lived with his brother, Daniel P. M. Davison, near the head of Second Pond. Afterwards, he bought a farm on the east side of Long Pond, in Grafton, NY, where he resided several years. Aunt Fanny Parks, a maiden sister of Aunt Sally Parks-Davison, made her home with them all the rest of her life, and went with them to Illinois, where she died.
He lived on a very rough, stoney farm. The great stone heaps and stone walls he built are a tribute to his strength and energy. He always took a great interest in religious matters, being a Deacon in the Baptist Church. In politics, he was a Jackson Democrat and held the highest offices in the town. He was for several years Captain of the Grafton Rifle Co., of New York State.
Socially, Uncle Milton's was one of the best places in the world to go visiting. They were always so kind and pleasant. They left the farm and kept the Quackenskill Hotel for awhile before they came to Illinois in 1855. In fact, all the Davisons have left OLD GRAFTON, where our branch of the Davison Family originated. I was there a few years ago, and there was not one there, and no relatives, except by marriage in town. (Written by A. A. Davison in 1905)
Milton came to Illinois and took up land west of Minonk, on Grand Prarie. came from rocks and stones of OLD GRAFTON, to where you could seldom find a stone large enough to throw at a bird. Tell that in Grafton, and you would find our veracity at stake. He showed the same dilligence and perserverance that he did in Grafton, and soon established another homestead, and by hard work and increased value of land, acquired a large fortune. Aunt Sally Parks-Davison died May 27, 1885. He then lived with his children about ten years, to the good old age of 83 years, 6 months, and passed away March 19, 1895, after a life well spent in Church, Sunday School, State and Home.
They are buried in the Yankee Town Cemetery, eight miles west of Minonk, Illinois. | DAVISON John Milton (I35661)

When I was a little girl my grandmother, Araminta, used to say that her grandmother was a witch. A good witch mind you. She was apparently a mid-wife and herbalist and she "sat with the dead" after the formal wake was over. She was apparently a respected healer in her community of Castine. She had a "big black book of herbal lore and "spells" that Gram used to mention was taken by the "Green side of the family". Flora was married twice, first to a man whose last name was Green and lastly to my Great-Great Grandfather, Amos J. Perkins.
The psychic part comes in when her second husband was lost at sea. She was apparently upstairs in her little house in Castine when she heard some coach wheels and a horse pull up at the house. She looked out the window and saw a black coach and horse with a single lit lantern swinging in front. Knowing that this was the coach that sent messages of loved ones lost at sea, she knew that her husband Amos was dead.
She went downstairs to greet the messenger formally, but when she got to the front door, the coach had disappeared! A few days later the real coach showed up and she knew that what she had seen was a "sending". Pretty spooky, huh? I guess it's a little late for Halloween...By the way, the story was passed from Flora's daughter Minta to my grandmother to me. Minta apparently had a reputation for telling a pretty mean ghost story. | GRINDLE Flora H. (I38233)

Whether she appears as Genvissa, Genuissa, Genissa, Gwenissa or Venissa, she cannot be considered historical. [1] Two reasons support this statement: first, she does not appear sources that may be considered reliable. Secondly, the notion of a Roman emperor Claudius giving his daughter -- even if she were an illegitimate daughter -- in marriage to a barbarian at the edge of the Empire would have been so unusual as to virtually guarantee written notice -- which does not exist.
Research Notes
The account of Genvissa first appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth's peseudohistorical Historia Regum Britanniae, written in the 12th century, a thousand years after Genvissa's claimed existence. The sketch which follows generally reflects Geoffrey.
Daughter of Claudius
Genvissa was a daughter of the Roman Emperor Claudius, whom he gave in marriage to the British king Arvirargus once he had submitted to Rome. [2]
According to Geoffrey's account Genvissa was very beautiful, and so enchanted Arvirargus that he preferred her company to anyone else's. He founded Gloucester, supposedly named after Claudius, in her honour. When Arvirargus fell out with Rome and Vespasian was sent to enforce a reconciliation, Venissa acted as mediator between them.[3]
Venissa cannot be considered historical because she is not mentioned in authentic Roman history; her supposed husband Arvirargus is known only from a cryptic reference in a 2nd-century satirical poem by Juvenal; and it is in any case inconceivable that a daughter, even an illegitimate daughter, of a Roman emperor could be given in marriage to a barbarian without attracting comment. Nonetheless, she and her husband, identified with the historical Caratacus, appear in many uncritical genealogies originating in the Tudor period.
Claudius’s natural daughters are accounted for in Roman history; further information would be welcome on this Roman lady of the Emperors kindred [Source: Enderbie, p142], as Genvissa and Arviragus founded a Brito-Roman dynasty, which ruled on after them in the persons of their son Marius, Coel I & Lucius; the Romans accepted Arviragus's kingship of Roman-controlled Britain at this time – probably the area to the south and east of the Fosse Way, fosse being the Roman word for a defensive ditch; later on Arviragus went into rebellion and the Roman general Vespasian was sent to bring Britain back into the imperial fold; peace was brokered by Genvissa, again indicating her status; in this period, AD 70s, Cogidubnus may have come out of Roman retirement briefly to become client king in the south of the country, probably based at the Roman-style villa at Fishbourne near Chicester; he may well also have been such in the AD 40s, after the death of the usurper Verica, who seems to have been his kinsmen. [4]
Birth Year Estimation
Wikipedia estimates the birth year of Genvissa's husband 's brother Caratacus as 10 CE, so estimate her husband's birth year the same -- and estimate her's five years later.
Husband of Arviragus
...Claudius and Arviragus went to Winchester, where they sojourned together, and the emperor immediately sent ambassadors to Rome for his daughter Genois. In the meantime, while the ambassadors were performing their journey, Claudius, with the assistance of Arviragus conquered the isles of Orkney, and some others; after which the ambassadors returned from Rome, bringing the daughter of Claudius. [5]
...Aviragus marrying the daughter of the Emperour, joining the Brittish and Roman Regal and Imperial lines together, thereby ended all debates between them. [Source: Enderbie, p143]
Arviragus is treated as a real ruler in many early historical validation of his existence has not been found.
Gardner presents Genuissa as Venus Julia, daughter of Emp;eror Claudius, married to King Gwenivyth (Arvirarus) of Siluria and mother of King Marius of Siluria. [6]
In a table of Arthurian descent, Gardner shows Arviragus, King of Siluria (44-74) married in 45 to Genuissa, daughter of Emperor Claudius. Their child King Marius of Siluria (74-125) married Penardun, protegee of Queen Boudicca. Penardun, in turn, is shown as the daughter of Archdsruid Bran the Blessed (Bron) of Siluria) and his wife Anna (Enygeus), daughter of Joseph of Arimathea and his wife Anna. [7]
Reign of son Marius
After the death of the good King Arviragus, reigned his son Maurius [Marius], who had been brought up at Rome among the relatives of his mother Genois (Genvissa). [5]

Appendix: Genuissa, Arviragus, and Claudius
Dr.J. C. Marler [8] writes:
To the best of my knowledge, everything that can be known about Genuissa (aka Venissa or Venus Julia) is to be found in Geoffrey of Monmouth, the 12th century British chronicler who wrote the Historia regum Brittaniae.
Below, I reproduce the transcription of a passage which, in 1929, Acton Griscom made from the Latin of a 12th century manuscript of the Historia. The orthography of the Latin is consistent with what Griscom found in the manuscript. I also give Lewis Thorpe's modern English translation of this passage and, furthermore, I give Robert Ellis Jones's translation of the Welsh abridgement of the Latin text, taken from a manuscript copied in the 15th century.
Neither Tacitus, Suetonius, nor Dio Cassius, the Roman historians, have anything at all to say about Genuissa. But Griscom, in his lengthy introduction to the Historia, is much concerned to defend Geoffey's credibility. And, if Geoffrey, who relied upon sources to which we may not now have access, can be believed, then grounds may exist for saying that Genuissa was the daughter of Claudius and the spouse of Arviragus. Thorpe agrees with Griscom that, on the whole, Geoffrey is likely to be something better than a fabulist.
Juvenal
The historicity of Arviragus himself has some support from this passage from Juvenal, the 2nd century (AD) Roman satirist (Satire 4.124-128):
. . . "ingens omen habes," inquit, "magni clarique triumphi; regem aliquem capies, aut de temone Britanno excidet Arviragus. Peregrina est belua, cernis erectas in tergas sudes?" (Veiento addresses the Emperor: . . . "A mighty presage hast thou," he says, "of a great and glorious victory. Some king will be thy captive; or Arviragus will be hurled from his British chariot. The brute is foreign-born: dost thou not see the prickles bristling upon his back?")
This poetic fragment, the text and translation of which are taken from Juvenal and Persius, trans. G. G. Ramsay (Cambridge, MA: 1929), is also cited by Geoffrey after his giving credit to Genuissa for establishing peace between Arviragus and Vespasian. Juvenal, as is well known to Classical scholars, was somewhat adverse to things not historically Roman. The Historia regum Brittaniae of Geoffey of Monmouth, ed. Acton Griscom (London: 1929).
Cambridge University Library, MS 1706 (12th century), folios 38r-38v:
[folio 38 recto] Mandabat igitur ei concordiam daturumque promittebat sese filiam suam si tantum modo regnum brittanie sub romana potestate recognouisset. Post positis ergo debelationibus suaserunt maiores natu aruirago promissionibus claudii acquiescere. Dicebant autem non esse ei dedecori subditum fuisse romanis cum totius orbis inperio potirentur. His uero & pluribus aliis mitigatus paruit consiliis suorum & subiectionem cesari fecit. Mox claudius misit propter filiam suam romam & auxilio aruiragi uersus orcadas & provintiales insulas potestati sue submisit. Emensa hyeme deinde redierunt legati cum filia [folio 38 verso] eamque patri tradiderunt. Erat autem nomen puellae genuissa eratque tanta pulchritudo ut aspicientes in ammiratione ducerat. Et ut maritali lege copulata fuit tanto feruore amoris succendit regem ita ut ipsam solam cunctis rebus preferret. Vnde locum quo ei primo nupserat celebrem esse uolens suggessit claudio ut edificarent in illo ciuitatem quae memoriam tantarum nuptiarum in futura tempora preberet. Paruit ergo claudius precepitque fieri urbem quae de nomine eius kaerglou id est gloucestria nuncupata usque in hodiernum diem in confinio kambrie & loegrie super ripam sabrine sita est. Quidam uero dicunt ipsam traxisse nomen a gloio duce quem claudius in illa generauerat cui post aruiragum gubernaculum kambrit ducatus cessit.
Modern English translation of the above passage, as given in Geoffey of Monmouth, The History of the Kings of Britain, trans. Lewis Thorpe (London: 1966), p. 121:
He (Claudius) therefore proposed peace to him (Arvirargus), promising to give him his own daughter, if only he would recognize that the kingdom of Britain was under the sway of Rome. His nobles persuaded Arvirargus to abandon his plans for battle and to accept the proposals of Claudius. Their argument was that it could be no disgrace for him to submit to the Romans, since they were the acknowledged overlords of the whole world. Arvirargus was swayed by these arguments and by others of a similar nature. He accepted their advice and submitted to Claudius. Claudius soon sent to Rome for his daughter. With the help of Arvirargus he subdued the Orkneys and the other islands in that neighbourhood.
At the end of that winter the messengers returned with Claudius' daughter and handed her over to her father. The girl's name was Genvissa (= Genuissa). Her beauty was such that everyone who saw her was filled with admiration. Once she had been united with him in lawful marriage, she inflamed the King with such burning passion that he preferred her company to anything else in the world. As a result of this Arvirargus made up his mind to give some special mark of distinction to the place where he had married her. He suggested to Claudius that the two of them should found there a city which should perpetuate in times to come the memory of so happy a marriage. Claudius agreed and ordered a town to be built which should be called Kaerglou or Gloucester. Down to our own day it retains its site on the bank of the Severn, between Wales and Loegria. Some, however, say that it took its name from Duke Gloius, whom Claudius fathered in that city and to whom he granted control of the duchy of the Welsh after Arvirargus.
English translation by Robert Ellis Jones from the Welsh manuscript cited as Oxford, Jesus College, MS LXI (15th century). The Welsh translation is printed in Griscom's edition of the Latin. The Welsh manuscript, as is plain to see, gives an abridged translation of Geoffrey's Latin. This passage is found on fol. 80r.
[folio 80 recto] When Gloywkassar (= Claudius Caesar) saw this, he sent to the Bryttaniait to ask for peace, and forthwith peace was made between them; and to confirm the peace, Gloyw kassar gave his daughter to Gwairydd (= Arviragus) to wife. And after this, with the power of the Bryttaniaid, the men of Ryfain (= Rome) subdued the Ork islands, and the other islands about them. And when winter slipped away, the maid, matchless in her form and fairness, came from Ryfain, and Gwairydd married her. And then Gloyw kassar built a city which he called kaer-loyw (= Gloucester) on the bank of Hafren (= Severn), on the boundary betwen kymrv (= Wales) and lloegr (= Loegria).

While several standard sources state that Joan Basset was the mother of Alberic II, giving a rough marriage date of Alberic I and Joan as "ca 1160", even if this date is not accurate, it is patently clear that Joan could not have been Alberic II's mother. Joan Basset is known to have married twice before her marriage to Alberic I, with her second marriage occurring "circa 1152". This, combined with all other known chronology for Alberic II and his antecedents, has resulted in a change in thought among the professional genealogical community. It is now accepted that Alberic II was the son of his father's first wife. (Ref; Geneajourney 30 Nov 2014)
Marriage
Alberic III de Dammartin married, firstly Joan Basset (as her third husband) ca. 1159/60. There is no known child of this marriage.
He married, secondly after 1162, Mathilde/Mahaut de Clermont, daughter of Renaud de Clermont (-en-Beauvais). They had several children:
Children
Renaud, Count of Dammartin, who was deprived of Dammartin by Philip Augustus
Simon, Count, jure uxoris, of Ponthieu
Raoul
Alix, wife of Jean de Trie
Agnès, married Guillaume de Fiennes
Clémence, married Jacques de Saint-Omer
a daughter? grandmother of Enguerrand and Renaud de Picquigny (Cawley)
Juliane (unproven) wife of Hugues de Gournay.
Alberic died in Lillebonne in 1200 and was buried in the abbey of Jumièges[1].

Research Notes
This is Alberic (Aubri) III de Danmartin, son of Alberic II and ---. The family name "Mello" would be explained by the theory that this Dammartin family would be descended from Aubry de Mello - see https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maison_de_Dammartin-Montdidier#Hugues_de_Dammartin, https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famille_de_Mello, https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maison_de_Dammartin. I cannot judge of the accuracy of this, but even if incorrect, it can still explain the name of Mello given to Alberic de Dammartin. Rassinot-1 21:52, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

Widukind (8th/9th centuries; modernized name Wittekind) was a Germanic leader of the Saxons and the chief opponent of Charlemagne during the Saxon Wars. Widukind was the leader of the Saxons against the Frankish king Charlemagne (later emperor of the West). In 782, when Charlemagne organized Saxony as a Frankish province and ordered conversions of the pagan Saxons of Widukind to Roman Catholicism, the Saxons resumed warfare against the Franks. In later times, Widukind became a symbol of Saxon independence and a figure of legend.
Widukind or Wittekind (743-807) was the leader of the Saxons and the first known by name Duke of the Duchy of Saxony. Originally the Saxons chose their dukes only as army commander (which is also the literal meaning of the word Duke) who had to resign again in peacetime.[1]
By Widukind's tactic of permanent revolt, however, he remained in power for decades and this way the Saxons got used to be under a centralized regime.[1]
With this, he also increased the influence of his family, from whom several Saxon dynasties emerged as the Ottonians, Guelph, and House of Ascania Billungen. Widukind was the leading force in the Saxon Wars for independence of the Franks and the preservation of their own religion.[1]
After Charlemagne had defeated the Saxons in 777, he sought refuge in the Danes. [1] In the Bardengau in 785, Widukind agreed to surrender in return for a guarantee that no bodily harm would be done to him. Widukind and his allies were then baptized in Attigny in 785, with Charlemagne as his godfather.
Wife of Widukind was the Danish princess Geva Eysteinsdotter (From Denmark / Van Raumerike / Van Westfold Saxony). For what's known so far there were three children [1] :
Wigebert Duke of Saxony (799-827),
Hasalda of Engern (756-)
Wittekind II Wettin.
Widukind probably died in 807 in a battle against the Swabians. It's said he was buried in Enger Herford (in current North Rhine-Westphalia), but the monumental tomb there dating not the ninth century, and the body therein is therefore likely to be of another.[1]
Since the 9th century, Widukind had been idolized as a mythical hero. Around 1100, a tomb for him was made in Enger; recent excavations have found that the contents of the tomb are indeed early medieval, but it is impossible to decide whether the body is Widukind's.
When in the 10th century Saxon kings (of the Ottonian dynasty) replaced the Frankish kings in East Francia (the later Holy Roman Empire), these kings proudly claimed descent from Widukind: Matilda, the wife of King Henry I, was apparently a great-great-great-granddaughter of Widukind. The House of Billung, to which several Dukes of Saxony belonged, had Matilda's sister among its ancestors and thus also claimed descent from Widukind.

Research Notes
Legendary Saxon Line of Descent from Witigail to Witikind
George Fisher [2]in 1832 published his Genealogical Companion in which he presented a line of descent of princes and kings in Saxony from Hengist's father Witigail to Witikind the Great, conquered by Charlemagne. While many of these princes exist only in legend, they appear in many popular genealogies and therefore their line of descent is presented here for reference. Birth years are estimated and not part of Fisher's table.
Wihtgils or Witigail, born 380, King of the Saxons, died 434
Hengist, born 425. First king of Kent, died 488.
Audoacer or Hartwaker, born 455, succeeded his father as 15th Prince of the Saxons, died 480.
Hatwigate, born 475,Prince of the Saxons, died 524
Hulderic. born 500, King of the Saxons, died 540
Bodicus, born 525, Prince of the Saxons, died 586
Berthold, born 550, King of the Saxons, died 633.
Sighard, born 630, King of the Saxons, died 691
Dieteric, born 670,, King of the Saxons, died 740, married Dobogesa, daughter of Billung, King of the Vandals
Wernich, born 705, son of Dieteric, King of the Saxons, died 768. Wernich had a brother Ethelbard, also son of Dieteric, also King of the Saxons. Ethelbard had two sons; Albion, was baptized by his cousin Witikund the Great, son of Ethelbard, 785, and Herman was slain by Charlemagne 798,
Witikind the Great, born 755, the last King of the Saxons, conquered by Charlemagne, 785. Consentng to be baptized, the conqueror made him the first Duke of the old Upper Saxony, or on the Weser. He died 807 and was the patriarch of many great families in Europe, amongst whom may be reckoned the present Royal Family of England.

Wigeric (appearing in the records as Widiacus, Windricus, Wigericus, Widricus) first appears as a Count (comes) in the Carolingian era appearing in an act of King Zwentibold on 23 January 899. His comitatus or county included at least part of the country of Bidgau, east of modern Luxembourg near Bitburg.
He consented to the rights of Treves (Trier) passing to the bishop in an act of King Louis 'the Child' dated 19 September 902.[1]
He gave his lands in Itzig in Woevre to the Abbey of Echternach in February 903 or 904, and witnesses a charter dated 1 January 909 where he is referred to as Count in pago Bedinse, (Count in Bidgau).[1]
He gave his lands in Itzig in woevre to the Abbey of Echternach in February 903 or 904, and witnesses a charter dated 1 January 909 where he is referred to as Count whose county included at least part of the pagus of Bedinse.
Wigeric is listed in a group of Frankish nobles as comes palatii (Count Palatine) dated 19 January 916.[1] However there is no record of where he was Count Palatine, so sources naming him Count Palatine of Lotharingia,[2] or Count Palatine of Aachen[3] are not supported by the primary evidence.
This is the last time Wigeric appears in the records and he must have died after that date. He isn't named in a similar list of Frankish nobles dated 13 June 919 and may have died before then, but there is no proof of this. Wigeric's wife, Cunegonde married secondly Ricuin, Count of Verdun, who died 15 November 923, so Wigeric had to have died in time for this second marriage to occur.[1]
Whenever he died, it occurred at the abbey of Hastière an der Maas where he was also buried.[1]
Marriage
A charter issued by Charles the Simple, dated somewhere between 908-915 refers to count Windricus and his wife, Cunigundis and one of their sons Adalbero, referring to Adalbero as nepos of Charles.[1]
An eleventh century genealogy, names Cunegonde as the daughter of Ermentrude, and maternal granddaughter of Louis II 'the Stammerer' (le Beque), King of Western Francia, without naming her father, which would make her son Adalbero, great nephew of Charles the Simple.
It is now generally accepted that Cunegonde the daughter of Ermentrude is the same person as the wife of Wigeric.[4];[5]; [6] Also see the article about Cunegonde by Stewart Baldwin for an extensive discussion.[7]
Children
There has also been much discussion over whether the six or seven children (depending on whether the son named Sigefroid/Siegfried is the same person as the son named Sigebert) are all fathered by Wigeric, or whether some may be with Cunegonde's second husband Ricuin, or even an unnamed third husband.[7]
Werner[4] and Rösch[5] consider Wigeric the father of all six children and Baldwin, that Adalbero, Luitgard and Gozlin are definitely Wigeric's children, Frederic and Sigefroid probably his sons, and Giselbert could be either the son of Wigeric or Ricuin.[1]
For the purposes of making a decision, they will all be considered the children of Wigeric with further discussion eventually on their profiles.
The children are (birth dates from Werner[4] unless otherwise cited):
Adalbero I, probably born in period circa 905-910,[1] succeeded as Bishop of Meta;
Gozelo, born circa 910, succeeded as Count in Bidgau, married and had issue;
Frederic I, born circa 912, succeeded as Count of Bar, Duke of Upper Lorraine, married and had issue;
Giselbert, born circa 915, succeeded as Count in Ardennengau;
Luitgard, born circa 915, married (1) Adalbert; (2) Eberhard;
Siegfried, born circa 915-917, Count in Moselgau, married and had issue;
Research Notes
Wigeric (III)
Cawley names him as Wigeric (III)[8] but there seems to be no reason to do so, as its not clear who was named Wigeric before him and and no other source uses this name.
Parents
The parents of Wigeric are unknown although there have been a number of possibilities proposed, none of which seem to have full support.[1]
First marriage
Wikipedia proposes a first marriage to Eva or Eve[2] but Baldwin considers that the existence of Eve is doubtful, and it is based on a late source that contains legendary figures.[1]

Wilelmo (fr: Guillaume) d'Arles (later Guillaume III Comte de Provence) was born in about 985 likely in or near Arles - which was the home of his parents Wilelmo / Guillaume II "le Libérateur" Comte d'Arles et Marquis de Provence and his second wife Adelais / Adélaïde Blanche d'Anjou. HIs mother, who was called Adelais "Blanca" or in French Adélaïde "Blanche", was the daughter of Foulques II Comte d'Anjou and Gerberge de Gâtinais. She was married to four husbands of noble families - Wilelmo's father (Guillaume II de Provence) being the last. Her immediately prior marriage in about 980 was to King Louis V of France, called "le Fainéant" (the Do-nothing) - the two being crowned King and Queen of Aquitaine - but their marriage ending in an annulment. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Note regarding Names of Subject and Father:
His and his father's first name as reflected in records generally appear as a version of Wilelmo (Lat: Wilelmus or Vuilelmi) - and the territories of Provence and other parts of Bourgogne (Burgundy) only became a part of France in the late-1400s. However, subsequent French historians typically referred to them by their French equivalent as "Guillaume" - which often appears in summaries and citations, and is therefore used below.
Note regarding Names of Mother:
His mother's first name in records generally appears as a version of Adelais or Adalaidis (Adelaidis, Adalaiz etc.) - often with her dit name as Blanca or Candida. However, subsequent French historians typically referred to her by the French equivalent as "Adélaïde Blanche".
Territories and Accessions
Royaume(s) de Bourgogne
(879-1033)
The kingdoms of Basse-Bourgogne (Lower Burgundy, which comprised the County of Arles and the later Marquisate of Provence as well as Cisjurania to the north) and Haute-Bourgogne (Upper Burgundy, which extended into the Alps) were united as the Royaume de Bourgogne (Kingdom of Burgundy) in 933. [8]
Note regarding Kingdom of Burgundy versus France:
While Provence and much of the Kingdom of Burgundy (later the Kingdom of Arles from 1033) are part of modern-day France, the region did not become a part of France until 1483. [9]
Accessions of Counts of Arles and Counts / Marquis of Provence
Guillaume's grandather Boso II Comte d'Arles first appeared in an act of King Conrad of Burgundy on 7 Oct 949 as Count Boso (Boso comes) and is referred to by historians as Boso II Comte d'Arles. [10]
Guillaume's father Wilelmo / Guillaume II Comte d'Arles et Marquis de Provence appeared as the Count of Arles by 20 Aug of 967 or 970 (... in Arelate civitate, publice, ante domno Willemmo, inlustrissimo comite ....). He was noted as the Marquis of Provence (incliti marchionis Vuilelmi) on 12 May 979. Since there was a prior Guillaume of Arles / Avignon (his father's brother), he is sometimes referred to by historians as Guillaume II Comte d'Arles and Guillaume I Marquis de Provence. [1] [2]
Guillaume succeeded following the death of his father in 992, becoming Wilelmo / Guillaume III Comte de Provence. He did not receive the title of Marquis of Province, which was held by his father's brother Rotbaud / Rotbald I Marquis de Provence. [1] [2] [4]
Marriage into the Burgundian / Italian Nobility
In 1002, Guillaume de Provence married Gerberga de Mâcon (Gerberge de Bourgogne), who was a member of the Burgundian and Italian nobility as the daughter Ottone Guglielmo di Ivrea (Otte-Guillaume (fr) / Otto William (en)) I Comte de Borgogne et de Mâcon and his first wife Ermentrude de Roucy. Ottone's grandfather and father were both Kings of Italy, as King Berengar II of Italy and King Adalbert I of Ivrea, respectively. After the death of King Adalbert in 971/5, Ottone's mother Gerberga married Henry I, the Duke of Burgundy, who was also the younger brother of Hugues (Hugh) Capet, the King of France. [11] [12] [13] [14]
Family
Guillaume III Comte de Provence and his wife Gerberge had three sons:
Wilelmo (Guillaume)
Fulco Bertan (Foulques Bertrand)
Gaufredo (Geoffroi / Geoffrey)
Death and Succession
Guillaume died in 1018 and was buried at the Abbaye Saint-Pierre de Montmajour in Arles which was associated with the Burgundian nobility of Provence. His wife donated property in his memory the following year, in a charter reflecting her and their three sons: [1]
Geriberga comitissa donated property to Saint-Victor de Marseille for the soul of senioris mei Guilelmi comitis Provincie and for filiorumque nostrorum…Wilelmo, Fulcho, Jozfredus by charter dated 1019.
Guillaume III was succeeded by his eldest son, who became Guillaume IV Comte de Provence. [1]

Mackinac Island Fur Trader-Native American Roots Twice Verified by Daughters' DNA
...by Marie Rundquist and Richard Wiles
Mackinac Island on Lake Huron is central to the histories of North America's fur-trading industry in the the 18th and 19th centuries and the Wachter, Fraser, Fisher, and Farlinger (also known as Farling and McFarland) families of northern Michigan. On Mackinac Island, a 3.8 square mile spit of land located at the “tip of the mitten,” mid-way between Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas, the North American fur-trading industry found its nexus, and a culture, comprised of Canadian fur-traders and their Native American wives, had its beginnings.
At the root of this family genealogy and cultural heritage is grandmother “Nancy-Anne Fraser,” whose storied, Scottish surname evokes discussion of John Fraser, a founding partner in Canada's McTavish, Fraser and Co. -- chief suppliers and fur brokers for the legendary North West Company. According to Harry Duckworth, John Fraser had engaged in Canadian business affairs throughout his career, traveling between London and Canada to restore a failed financial position while under the firm of Fraser and Young. John's association with the North American fur-trading industry began in earnest in the early 1790s, when he was at the mid-point of his life, and the McTavish, Fraser and Company was founded 1.
Based in Montreal, Fraser's company engaged in commerce with Mackinac Island fur trading society 2, fostering the inter-dependency of the two regions: with Mackinac Island serving as a supplier of furs and Montreal acting as its agent and vital link to the markets of Europe 3. In addition to his wife, Jeanne McKenzie, and two daughters, Justina and Mary, John Fraser had three sons: James, John (whom he helped place on the board of supervisors of the amalgamation of fur-trading giants, the North West and Hudson Bay Companies), and another who became a priest. According to Duckworth, daughter Mary married an unrelated, “James Fraser of Belladrum 4.” Through his partnership with McTavish, Fraser, and Company, John Fraser had in his later years, re-gained his fortune, established a Fraser family legacy in the North American fur-trading business, and he died in 1825, at the age of eighty-three. 5
In the early 1790s, when the McTavish, Fraser and Company was gaining a foot-hold in the local fur-trading economy, “Nancy-Anne Fraser,” of unknown parentage, was born. According to her husband's military records, Nancy-Anne Fraser was a half-breed, a “Metis,” of Anishinaabe (Ottawa (ODAWA)- Chippewa (Ojibwa)) and European (Scottish) ancestry. The Metis culture on Mackinac Island was born of the Native American “country wives,” and the Canadian fur-traders they never “officially” married, but with whom they had first or second families. This kinship-centered, social structure, an integral component of the fur-traders' economic sphere, survived and thrived on Mackinac Island, despite the political struggles between the United States and Britain in the late 18th century 6.
Family genealogy has, that in 1814, Nancy-Anne Fraser married James Farlinger, a blacksmith born in Ontario; she and her husband began their family on the nearby Drummond Island, following the
James Wachter
settlement patterns of other fur-trading families who sought British protection after the War of 1812. Daughters Marie (born 1824), Josephee (Josette) (1815), Elizabeth (1817) and Nancy (1819), were of an age to have attended a Protestant mission school, established on Mackinac Island, for the purpose of educating Indian children, but whose students were mostly the offspring of fur traders and their Native American “country wives 7.” James Farlinger and Nancy Fraser divorced after 1824, and James Farlinger remarried a Lamorandiere. By the mid-1840s, all four daughters had left Drummond Island to marry and begin their own families.
The Farlinger daughters' choices of spouses and eventual life circumstances crossed political boundaries and cultures. Daughter Marie and husband Charles Wachter, whose family was part of a commercial, fishing enterprise, married on Mackinac Island, Michigan (1845), and remained close to home. Daughters Josephee (Josette) and Nancy followed the paths of other fur-trader families who moved to Canada with the British: Josephee (Josette) married husband Thaddeus Lamorandiere (1837), and Nancy married David McArthur (1838) at Penetanguishene, Ontario, Canada. Daughter Elizabeth married into the Beaulieu fur-trading family, established for generations on the Great Lakes 8; she and husband Clement Hudon married in 1835, in St. Joseph, Michigan, an area that was historically sympathetic to the French 9. Daughters Elizabeth and Nancy died in Minnesota, on the White Earth Reservation, in 1903 and 1879, respectively, with Elizabeth's name appearing opposite a number on an Indian Roll, her origins described as “mixed blood.” Daughter Marie died in 1871 on Mackinac Island; her sister Josephee (Josette), died in 1890, in Saginaw, Michigan.
Fast-forward to the twenty-first century, where in 2006, the late-descendant of Nancy Farling combed the Internet, visiting family genealogy websites with a singular mission: to uncover the origins of her earliest recorded grandmother, Nancy-Anne Fraser, and a hidden family line. Long after her passing, her posts remain published on the Internet, her earlier questions, and replies received, offering a series of clues, that six years later, in 2012, Petoskey, Michigan historian, researcher Richard Wiles, followed, bread-crumb fashion, as he researched the Wachter et. al. family history. The late descendant left an especially significant clue for Richard to find, one that revealed Nancy-Anne Fraser's earliest roots – her haplogroup “A” (Native American) mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) test results, which were published on a DNA project website next to the name of her earliest ancestor, “Nancy Fraser.” Of genealogical concern, the published haplogroup “A” mtDNA test results revealed the Native American ancestries of Nancy-Anne Fraser and her maternal-line descendant, now deceased.
After researching the haplogroup A mtDNA test results with Family Tree DNA representatives and the Administrator of the Amerindian Ancestry out of Acadia Project, Richard Wiles determined that to verify Nancy-Anne Fraser's Native American ancestry, he would need to locate another test participant. In search of a second candidate, he compiled the genealogies assessed for the Wachter et. al. family, referenced earlier in the article, tracing maternal-line ancestries from mother to mother, through each of Nancy-Anne Fraser's four daughters, and discovered a second, maternal-line descendant, who agreed to test.
At this point, it is critical to recapitulate the maternal line genealogies of the two candidates: the first candidate, now deceased, descended from Nancy-Anne Fraser through daughter Nancy (Farling), who died on a reservation. The second candidate, discovered through genealogy research, descended from Nancy-Anne Fraser through daughter Marie (Farling), who died on Mackinac Island. For researcher Richard Wiles to verify the accuracy of the compared genealogies, and the Native American ancestry of Nancy-Anne Fraser, the two candidates' mtDNA test results must match!
After several weeks, the second candidate's mtDNA test results were returned: a match had been found between the first and second set of mtDNA test results. The original haplogroup A mtDNA finding received by the first candidate, the late descendant of Nancy (Farling), had resolved to the subgroup “A2i,” as the second candidate, a descendant of Marie (Farling), had completed the full mitochondrial sequence DNA test.
For the Wachter et. al. family, the discovery of a Native American ancestry, twice-verified by matching haplogroup A / A2i mtDNA test results, revealed the family's historic, Native American – fur trader legacy. As a result of Richard Wiles' persistence in locating a second descendant, and pursuing further mtDNA tests, an esteemed, Native American 10, Mackinac Island cultural heritage that had been destroyed by physical isolation, politics, and prejudice has been recovered for the Wachter, Fisher, Fraser, and Farling families.

The late descendant left an especially significant clue for Richard to find, one that revealed Nancy-Anne Fraser's earliest roots – her haplogroup “A” (Native American) mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) test results, which were published on a DNA project website next to the name of her earliest ancestor, “Nancy Fraser.” Of genealogical concern, the published haplogroup “A” mtDNA test results revealed the Native American ancestries of Nancy-Anne Fraser and her maternal-line descendant, now deceased.
After researching the haplogroup A mtDNA test results with Family Tree DNA representatives and the Administrator of the Amerindian Ancestry out of Acadia Project, Richard Wiles determined that to verify Nancy-Anne Fraser's Native American ancestry, he would need to locate another test participant. In search of a second candidate, he compiled the genealogies assessed for the Wachter et. al. family, referenced earlier in the article, tracing maternal-line ancestries from mother to mother, through each of Nancy-Anne Fraser's four daughters, and discovered a second, maternal-line descendant, who agreed to test.
At this point, it is critical to recapitulate the maternal line genealogies of the two candidates: the first candidate, now deceased, descended from Nancy-Anne Fraser through daughter Nancy (Farling), who died on a reservation. The second candidate, discovered through genealogy research, descended from Nancy-Anne Fraser through daughter Marie (Farling), who died on Mackinac Island. For researcher Richard Wiles to verify the accuracy of the compared genealogies, and the Native American ancestry of Nancy-Anne Fraser, the two candidates' mtDNA test results must match!
After several weeks, the second candidate's mtDNA test results were returned: a match had been found between the first and second set of mtDNA test results. The original haplogroup A mtDNA finding received by the first candidate, the late descendant of Nancy (Farling), had resolved to the subgroup “A2i,” as the second candidate, a descendant of Marie (Farling), had completed the full mitochondrial sequence DNA test.
For the Wachter et. al. family, the discovery of a Native American ancestry, twice-verified by matching haplogroup A / A2i mtDNA test results, revealed the family's historic, Native American – fur trader legacy. As a result of Richard Wiles' persistence in locating a second descendant, and pursuing further mtDNA tests, an esteemed, Native American 10, Mackinac Island cultural heritage that had been destroyed by physical isolation, politics, and prejudice has been recovered for the Wachter, Fisher, Fraser, and Farling families.

Mackinac Island Fur Trader-Native American Roots Twice Verified by Daughters' DNA
...by Marie Rundquist and Richard Wiles
Mackinac Island on Lake Huron is central to the histories of North America's fur-trading industry in the the 18th and 19th centuries and the Wachter, Fraser, Fisher, and Farlinger (also known as Farling and McFarland) families of northern Michigan. On Mackinac Island, a 3.8 square mile spit of land located at the “tip of the mitten,” mid-way between Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas, the North American fur-trading industry found its nexus, and a culture, comprised of Canadian fur-traders and their Native American wives, had its beginnings.
At the root of this family genealogy and cultural heritage is grandmother “Nancy-Anne Fraser,” whose storied, Scottish surname evokes discussion of John Fraser, a founding partner in Canada's McTavish, Fraser and Co. -- chief suppliers and fur brokers for the legendary North West Company. According to Harry Duckworth, John Fraser had engaged in Canadian business affairs throughout his career, traveling between London and Canada to restore a failed financial position while under the firm of Fraser and Young. John's association with the North American fur-trading industry began in earnest in the early 1790s, when he was at the mid-point of his life, and the McTavish, Fraser and Company was founded 1.
Based in Montreal, Fraser's company engaged in commerce with Mackinac Island fur trading society 2, fostering the inter-dependency of the two regions: with Mackinac Island serving as a supplier of furs and Montreal acting as its agent and vital link to the markets of Europe 3. In addition to his wife, Jeanne McKenzie, and two daughters, Justina and Mary, John Fraser had three sons: James, John (whom he helped place on the board of supervisors of the amalgamation of fur-trading giants, the North West and Hudson Bay Companies), and another who became a priest. According to Duckworth, daughter Mary married an unrelated, “James Fraser of Belladrum 4.” Through his partnership with McTavish, Fraser, and Company, John Fraser had in his later years, re-gained his fortune, established a Fraser family legacy in the North American fur-trading business, and he died in 1825, at the age of eighty-three. 5
In the early 1790s, when the McTavish, Fraser and Company was gaining a foot-hold in the local fur-trading economy, “Nancy-Anne Fraser,” of unknown parentage, was born. According to her husband's military records, Nancy-Anne Fraser was a half-breed, a “Metis,” of Anishinaabe (Ottawa (ODAWA)- Chippewa (Ojibwa)) and European (Scottish) ancestry. The Metis culture on Mackinac Island was born of the Native American “country wives,” and the Canadian fur-traders they never “officially” married, but with whom they had first or second families. This kinship-centered, social structure, an integral component of the fur-traders' economic sphere, survived and thrived on Mackinac Island, despite the political struggles between the United States and Britain in the late 18th century 6.
Family genealogy has, that in 1814, Nancy-Anne Fraser married James Farlinger, a blacksmith born in Ontario; she and her husband began their family on the nearby Drummond Island, following the
James Wachter
settlement patterns of other fur-trading families who sought British protection after the War of 1812. Daughters Marie (born 1824), Josephee (Josette) (1815), Elizabeth (1817) and Nancy (1819), were of an age to have attended a Protestant mission school, established on Mackinac Island, for the purpose of educating Indian children, but whose students were mostly the offspring of fur traders and their Native American “country wives 7.” James Farlinger and Nancy Fraser divorced after 1824, and James Farlinger remarried a Lamorandiere. By the mid-1840s, all four daughters had left Drummond Island to marry and begin their own families.
The Farlinger daughters' choices of spouses and eventual life circumstances crossed political boundaries and cultures. Daughter Marie and husband Charles Wachter, whose family was part of a commercial, fishing enterprise, married on Mackinac Island, Michigan (1845), and remained close to home. Daughters Josephee (Josette) and Nancy followed the paths of other fur-trader families who moved to Canada with the British: Josephee (Josette) married husband Thaddeus Lamorandiere (1837), and Nancy married David McArthur (1838) at Penetanguishene, Ontario, Canada. Daughter Elizabeth married into the Beaulieu fur-trading family, established for generations on the Great Lakes 8; she and husband Clement Hudon married in 1835, in St. Joseph, Michigan, an area that was historically sympathetic to the French 9. Daughters Elizabeth and Nancy died in Minnesota, on the White Earth Reservation, in 1903 and 1879, respectively, with Elizabeth's name appearing opposite a number on an Indian Roll, her origins described as “mixed blood.” Daughter Marie died in 1871 on Mackinac Island; her sister Josephee (Josette), died in 1890, in Saginaw, Michigan.
Fast-forward to the twenty-first century, where in 2006, the late-descendant of Nancy Farling combed the Internet, visiting family genealogy websites with a singular mission: to uncover the origins of her earliest recorded grandmother, Nancy-Anne Fraser, and a hidden family line. Long after her passing, her posts remain published on the Internet, her earlier questions, and replies received, offering a series of clues, that six years later, in 2012, Petoskey, Michigan historian, researcher Richard Wiles, followed, bread-crumb fashion, as he researched the Wachter et. al. family history.

Willelm de Warenna, as his contemporaries might have known him,[1] was a relative and close ally of his ruler, William "the bastard", Duke of Normandy, who he helped become "the conqueror" and King of England. In England he became one of the most important landholders in England when the 1086 "Domesday Book" was made. Maps and documentation illustrating his landholdings are available on specialized websites:
PASE: http://domesday.pase.ac.uk/Domesday?op=5&personkey=39074
Open Domesday: https://opendomesday.org/name/william-of-warenne/
His English lands are frequently commented upon because of their political and military importance, during the takeover of England:
One of his most important clusters of holdings was in the militarily important "Rape of Lewes" in Sussex near Hastings and the coast south of London. This came to be seen as a feudal barony.[2]
In the rebellious north he held another militarily important position in Conisborough, Yorkshire, a large old royal manor, which "occupied the gap between the marshes at the head of the Humber estuary and the Pennine foothills, and commanded the fords where the main road north crossed the River Don".[3]
Far more valuable than the above was William's concentration of holdings in and around Norfolk, where he was "the largest landowner in a large and wealthy shire". His chief residence here was Castle Acre, "where Warenne built not a castle but a large stone manor house".[3]
William was the son, but probably not the eldest son, of Ralph de Warenne, who was a relatively minor landholder in Normandy. Despite his small inheritance, records consistently indicate that William was considered to be a blood relative of the king.[3] In particular, both the chronicler Robert of Torigny, and some generations later a fellow monk at Bec St Anselm, wrote as if William de Warenne's mother was the daughter of a sister of Gunnora, who was the wife of Duke Richard I of Normandy, King William's great grandfather.[4] The identity of William's mother has been the subject of different published opinions. Most importantly:
Loyd (p.107), who presumed that there was only one Ralph de Warenne, who must have had two wives, Beatrix and then Emma, pointed out that Beatrix was still living in 1053. If Emma started having children after Beatrix then William, who fought in the Mortemer campaign in 1054, could not possibly be Emma's son.[4] Unfortunately, at least one contemporary document, the Holy Trinity of Rouen cartulary, says that Emma was his mother!
More recently Keats-Rohan proposed that this problem could be resolved by assuming that there were two generations of Ralphs. The grandfather of William married Beatrix, and the father married Emma.
Regarding the relationship between William de Warenne and William the conqueror, Keats-Rohan also suggests that Beatrice the wife of the first Ralph (in her scheme) was a "great niece" of Gunnora.[5] Keats-Rohan therefore adds more generations between William and his common ancestry with the king - one between Beatrix and William, and one between Beatrix and Gunnora.
The male line of the family has not been traced beyond Ralf (or the two Ralfs, as per Keats-Rohan), who first start appearing in records in the 1030s. Their surname is derived from a hamlet named Varenne, on a small river named Varenne.[4] Modern Varenne is within Saint-Aubin-le-Cauf and the postcode is 76510. Loyd (p.111) suggested that William's original inheritance as younger son was limited to Louvetot in the canton of Caudebec and Allouville-Bellefosse in the canton of Yvetot. His older brother Ralf III probably inherited the majority of the family lands, although there is no detailed evidence to give us the details.[4]
His French lands also included the castle of Mortemer, which had been forfeited by his kinsman (Keats-Rohan believes he was a paternal uncle), Roger de Mortimer, after the Battle of Mortemer in 1054. Although his uncle received many lands back later, William was able to establish his French base at Bellencombre, and he held various fiefs in the immediate area.
In England William and his wife Gundrada founded Lewes priory as a cell of Cluny abbey, about 1078-82, and they already planned a daughter of this in Castle Acre, which their descendants established.
William married twice:
m1. Gundred, sister of Gerbod the Fleming, earl of Chester, hereditary advocate of the Abbey of St. Bertin at St. Omer. She died in child-birth, 27 May 1085, at Castle Acre, Norfolk, and was buried the chapter-house at Lewes. William and Gundreda. They had children:
William, 2nd Earl of Surrey (d. 1138);
Reginald/Reynold de Warenne, who inherited lands from his mother in Flanders and died before 1118;
Edith de Warenne who married (1) Gerard de Gournay, and (2) Drogo de Monchy.[1]
m2. The sister of Richard Guet (living 1098) who was a landowner in the Perche region in France.
As noted by Lewis in William's modern ODNB biography:[3]
In the turmoil which enveloped England after the death of William the Conqueror in September 1087, William de Warenne stood firm by William Rufus. His reward, some time between Christmas 1087 and the end of March 1088, was the titular earldom of Surrey and very probably three valuable Surrey manors, Reigate, Dorking, and Shere. Warenne fought for the king during the invasion of England by supporters of Robert Curthose and was wounded by an arrow during the siege of Pevensey Castle in spring 1088. He was carried to Lewes and died there of his wounds on 24 June.
The burial locations of William and Gundrada were redisocvered in 1845-47 when the railway to Brighton was built through the site of the priory and among the finds were lead caskets thought to contain the bones of William de Warenne and his wife Gundrada, the founders of the priory. Two lead caskets were found with their names inscribed on them. The remains inside were later moved to the parish church of St John in Southover, Lewes.[3]
Research notes
The 17th-century antiquarian Dugdale also thought William had a daughter who married Ernise de Colungis. On Wikitree she is Warenne-99, and it is suggested she is a sister of William, not a daughter.

Art History
In December 942, at the peak of his good relations with Louis, Arnulf called for a peace conference with William; there, William was murdered (traditionally, Arnulf is said to have arranged the murder).
A Planctus (mourning poem) was composed probably shortly after William's death; Jules Lair suggests plausibly if not definitively that it was in 943. (Catalog references: Chevalier 10576; Walther 10205; Schaller & Ewald Könsgen 8813; Yearley L81.) This poem, although it survives only in corrupt and incomplete versions and is largely hagiographic in content, nevertheless is a critical source for early Norman history. It is by far the earliest work written about the Normans from a Norman point of view, and some historical nuggets can be gleaned from it.
There is a 13th-century bust which, according to tradition, is that of William Longsword. It is found in the Musâee de l'Abbaye, logis abbatiale de Jumiáeges.

William de Beauchamp (d.1170) of Salwarpe and Elmley allegedly married Bertha dau. of William de Braose (d.1211). The latter's great grandson, William de Braose (d.1230) of Abergavenny had a dau. & coheir Maud (d.1301) who married Roger de Mortimer (d.1282) of Wigmore. Saunders gives no marriage of a Bertha de Braose (or of a Maud de B) to William de Beauchamp. Turton does give the marriage of Bertha and William based on information from the first edition (1910) of Cokayne's *Complete Peerage*. As far as I can tell the second edition omits any reference to the early Beauchamps. B Burke's *Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages of the British Empire* (London, 1883) p.29 has William Beachamp marrying a Maud de Braose. Since (1) Burke is to be treated with extreme caution, (2)it seems that the editors of the second edition of *The Complete Peerage* deleted material on the early Beauchamps and (3) Saunders notes marriages between the baronial families dealt with but omits this marriage, the upshot would seem to be that there is no hard evidence of a Braose marriage to William Beauchamp (d.1170).

William de Beauchamp, died 1170
William was a son of Walter de Beauchamp.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] His mother was a daughter of Urso d'Abitot.[2][3][4][7][8]
His year of birth is unknown and is estimated as c 1105.
Marriage and Children
The name of his wife is uncertain. Baker[3], Burke[4] and Keats-Rohan[7] indicated he married Berta de Braose. Cawley states:[8] "according to Domesday Descendants, the wife of William de Beauchamp was Bertha, daughter of William de Braose. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified..." However, there is some doubt about this and it has been suggested Bertha de Braose may have married his son, also named William (see Research Notes).[9]
Possible children:
William de Beauchamp[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
Robert de Beauchamp[8]
Peter de Beauchamp[8]
John de Beauchamp[8]
Walter de Beauchamp[8]
Emma de Beauchamp (married Ralph de Sudley)[3][8]
Career
Henry I King of England confirmed the inheritance by "Willelmo filio Walteri de Bello Campo, dispensario meo" of "terram totam patris sui" by charter dated to [1130/May 1133].[7][8] Granted the shrievality in 1139 and the office hereditarily in 1141.[7]
Charter of William de Beauchamp in which he confirmed a grant of a virgate of land given to Worcester priory by his father, 'which Elfred, chaplain of my grandfather Urso de Abbetot, held'.[9][10][11]
The Annals of Tewkesbury record that “Willelmus de Bello Campo” was captured by “Radulpho de Mandeville” in 1151.[8]
William de Beauchamp, who, for all his zeal in the cause of the Empress Maud, was dispossessed of the castle of Worcester by King Stephen, to which, and all his other honours and estates, however, he was restored by King Henry II; and in that monarch's reign, besides the sheriffalty of Worcestershire, which he enjoyed by inheritance, he was sheriff of Warwickshire (2nd Henry II), sheriff of Gloucestershire (from 3rd to the 9th Henry II), sheriff of Herefordshire (from the 8th to the 16th Henry II, 1167-70, inclusive). Upon the levy of the assessment towards the marriage portion of one of King Henry's daus., this powerful feudal lord certified his knight's fees to amount to fifteen.[4][12]
Death
The Annals of Worcester recorded the death in 1170 of "Willelmus de Bello Campo" and his burial "ad ostium capituli Wigorniæ".[8][13]
Research notes
Regarding a Beauchamp/Braose marriage, one theory is that the manor of Tetbury, Gloucestershire, came into the possession of the Braose family shortly after the death of Bernard de St. Valery in 1097. A William de Braose subsequently granted a "rent" from Tetbury to William de Bello Campo and his wife Berta, daughter of William de Braose. The William de Bello Campo is presumed to have been the William Beauchamp who died 1197 and not the William Beauchamp who died 1170.[9] The relevant sources are:
Tetbury, Gloucestershire: "The estate later called the manor of Upton originated as the portion settled by William de Breuse (d. 1211) on the marriage of his daughter Bertha to William Beauchamp, lord of Elmley Castle (Worcs.)".[14]
An Inquisition of 1305 recorded that a William de Breouse "gave the said rent, a hundred and sixty more years past, to William de Bello Campo, great grandfather of the said Earl [William de Bello Campo, Earl of Warwick], and Berta, daughter of the said William de Brewose, in free marriage".[15]
The William Beauchamp who died 1197 may also have married Avice, lady of Salwarpe. "A reference was lately noted in the VCH for Worcester to a grant of land in 'Boicot' to the priory of Westwood by 'Alicia, the lady of Salwarpe', which grant was made 'for the good estate of her own soul and of her children and for the souls of her husband William Beauchamp and her son William, the grant being confirmed by Walter Beauchamp.' [VCH Worcester II:148.]. The text of this charter (unfortunately minus certain details, incl. names of the witnesses) was then found in the section of Monasticon Anglicanum for the priory. The VCH version agrees with the Latin text and designated title, with one important exception: while the title given is 'Carta Aliciae de Salewarp..', the text of the charter identifies the grantor as "ego Avicia domina de Salewarp' [Dugdale, Monasticon Anglicanum VI(2):1004]. Her name therefore appears to have been Avicia, or Hawise, with the error by the editor of the Monasticon volume calling her 'Alicia' then being carried to the VCH text."[9][16]
There was a further relevant discussion in 2017.[17]

William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey (died 1138), was the son of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey and his first wife Gundred. He is more often referred to as Earl Warenne or Earl of Warenne than as Earl of Surrey.
This nobleman, William de Warrenne (Earl of Warrenne), 2nd Earl of Surrey, joined Robert de Belesmé, Earl of Arundel and Shrewsbury, in favour of Robert Curthose against Henry I, and in consequence forfeited his English earldom and estates, but those were subsequently restored to him and he was ever afterwards a good and faithful subject to King Henry. His lordship m. Isabel, dau. of Hugh the Great, Earl of Vermandois, and widow of Robert, Earl of Mellent, by whom he had issue, William, Reginald, Ralph, Gundred, and Adeline. The earl d. 11 May, 1138, and was s. by his eldest son, William de Warrenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey. [1]
Marriage and Children
In 1115, Elizabeth de Vermandois Countess of Meulan was apparently carried off or abducted by Warenne, which abduction apparently concealed a long-standing affair. Elizabeth also known as Isabel was born about 1085 to Hughes of France and Adelle de Vermandois. There was some kind of separation or divorce between Meulan and his wife, which however did not permit her to marry her lover. The elderly Count of Meulan died, supposedly of chagrin and mortification in being thus publicly humiliated, in the Abbey of Preaux, Normandy on 5 June 1118, leaving his properties to his two elder sons whom he had carefully educated. The historian Planche says (1874) that the Countess was seduced by or fell in love with a younger nobleman, William de Warenne (b. ca. 1071 - d. 11 May 1138) himself the thwarted suitor of Edith of Scotland, Queen consort of Henry I of England. Warenne was said to want a royal bride, and Elizabeth fitted his requirements, even though she was also another man's wife.
In 1118 William acquired the royal-blooded bride he desired when married Elizabeth de Vermandois. She was a daughter of count Hugh of Vermandois, a son of Henry I of France, and was the widow of Robert de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Leicester.
By Elizabeth he had three sons and two daughters:
William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey;
Reginald de Warenne, who inherited his father's property in upper Normandy, including the castles of Bellencombre and Mortemer. He married Adeline, daughter of William, lord of Wormgay in Norfolk, by whom he had a son William (founder of the priory of Wormegay), whose daughter and sole heir Beatrice married first Dodo, lord Bardolf, and secondly Hubert de Burgh; Reginald was one of the persecutors of Archbishop Thomas in 1170.
Ralph de Warenne
Gundrada de Warenne, who married first Roger de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Warwick, and second William, lord of Kendal, and is most remembered for expelling king Stephen's garrison from Warwick Castle;
Ada de Warenne, who married Henry of Scotland, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon, s. of David I, King of Scotland, by whom she was mother of Malcolm IV and William the Lion, Kings of Scotland, who made many grants to the priory of Lewes.
Child: Ada de Warenne
Marriage Date: 1118[2]
Child: William III de WARENNE
Child: Reginald de WARENNE
Child: Ralph de WARENNE
Child: Gundred De Warenne
Child: Adelian de WARENNE
Career
In 1090 he fought in Normandy against Robert de Belléme (afterwards 3rd Earl of Shrewsbury), who was supported by Duke Robert. In January 1091, William assisted Hugh of Grantmesnil (d.1094) in his defense of Courcy against the forces of Robert de Belleme and Duke Robert.
Sometime around 1093 he tried to marry Matilda (or Edith), daughter of king Malcolm III of Scotland. She instead married Henry I of England, and this may be the cause of William's great dislike of Henry I, which was to be his apparent motivator in the following years.
He accompanied Robert Curthose (Duke Robert) in his 1101 invasion of England, and afterwards lost his English lands and titles and was exiled to Normandy. There he complained to Curthose that he expended great effort on the duke's behalf and had in return lost most of his possessions. Curthose's return to England in 1103 was apparently made to convince his brother to restore William's earldom. This was successful, though Curthose had to give up all he had received after the 1101 invasion, and subsequently William was loyal to Henry.
To further insure William's loyalty Henry considered marrying him to one of his many illegitimate daughters. He was however dissuaded by Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury, for any of the daughters would have been within the prohibited degrees of consanguinity. The precise nature of the consanguinous relationship Anselm had in mind has been much debated, but it is most likely he was referring to common descent from the father of duchess Gunnor.
William was one of the commanders on Henry's side (against Robert Curthose) at the Battle of Tinchebray in 1106. Afterwards, with his loyalty thus proven, he became more prominent in Henry's court.
In 1106 he commanded a division of the royal army at the battle of Tinchebrai. In 1109 he was at a Great Council at Nottingharn; and in 1110 he was a surety for the performance of the treaty with the Count of Flanders. In 1111 he was one of the nobles sitting in judgement in Normandy.
In 1110, Curthose's son William Clito escaped along with Helias of Saint-Saens, and afterwards Warenne received the forfeited Saint-Saens lands, which were very near his own in upper Normandy. By this maneuver king Henry further assured his loyalty, for the successful return of Clito would mean at the very least Warenne's loss of this new territory.
In 1131 he attended the Council at Northampton.
He fought at the Battle of Bremule in 1119, and was at Henry's deathbed on 1 December 1135 at Lyons-la-Foret; after which the councillors put him in charge of the district of Rouen and the pays de Caux. Later he went to England, and he was at Westminster with Stephen at Easter 1136. He was probably still living in June 1137. He was a benefactor, or confirmed previous benefactions, to the abbeys of St. Evroul and St. Amand (Rouen), and the priories of Lewes, Castle Acre, Wymondham, Longueville and Bellencombre.
He encouraged Henry to fight when William (de Tancarville) the Chamberlain urged him to retreat. His alleged speech to the King before the battle is given in "Chron. Men de Hida", pp. 316-7.
Death and Burial
The death of William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, was recorded in the register of the Priory of St. Pancras aka Lewes Priory, Sussex, on died 11 May 1138, and was he buried at his father's feet in the chapter house there. His wife Elizabeth had died on 13 February 1131 in England.

William Goldsmith Brown was born on March 3, 1812 in Whitingham, Vermont. William Goldsmith was the second son of Nathan Brown sr. and Betsey Goldsmith Brown. William’s brother Nathan jr., as mentioned earlier, was 5 years older. There were also, 2 daughters, Sophia and Nancy, of which I find only brief mention.
William Goldsmith and his older brother Nathan, shared a passion for education, both attending William College. Nathan graduated Valedictorian in 1827 at the age of 20. In 1833 William Goldsmith entered Williams College but was forced to leave at the end of his junior year because of poor health. William had received a serious hip injury from a fall from a horse drawn wagon when in his teens, an injury from which he never fully recovered. All of his life he walked with a limp and often used a cane. His name was later placed on the alumni roll at Williams College.
Nathan married Eliza Ballard, sister of a classmate at Williams College. William Goldsmith married Eunice Fisher of Halifax, Vermont, a nearby town. William and Eunice had 5 children; Anna Judson, Addison, Mary E. Fred C. and Francis Fisher. Eunice Fisher Brown died in Wisconsin sometime before 1868.
William Goldsmith received his early schooling in New Hampton, NH and at the Bennington, Vt. seminary where his brother Nathan was a teacher. In spite of his injury, William became a teacher and at various times taught school in Bennington, Whitingham, Holyoke and Shelburne Falls.
William Goldsmith took up the challenge of a newspaper editor and publisher in 1840 as editor of the Vermont Telegraph, then later, The Voice of Freedom, both papers were published in Brandon, Vt. and still later, the Chicopee Journal, in Chicopee, MA. When William Goldsmith left Brandon, Vermont, he turned the publishing of the Voice of Freedom paper over to his brother, Nathan.
While in college Nathan had written a poem that he attempted to have published, he was just nineteen years old. The poem entitled “The Missionary’s Call” was offered to a number of publishers without success. No one was interested in publishing his work at that time, but he was heard to say, that if ever his poem was published, it would be his sign from God for him to enter the mission field. When Nathan took over the job as publisher of the Brandon newspaper from his brother, he published his own poem! His message from God heeded, he began to prepare for the mission field.
In 1832 Nathan resigned his position with the Telegraph and enrolled in Newton Seminary (presently Andover Newton) to study for the ministry. In December of that same year Nathan and his wife embarked for Burma as a missionary for the Baptist church. For two years he was stationed at Maulmain, Burma. Nathan learned the Burmese language and then was transferred to a station 800 miles from Calcutta into the country of Assam. He then had the challenge of learning yet another language. In 1855, after twenty-two years of toil and suffering in Assam, India the Browns returned to America. Two of their children died while in India. Much of his story is told in the book, The Whole World Kin, edited and compiled by Nathan’s wife, Mrs.E.W.Brown.
Seventeen years later, after recovering his health and after working as editor of a publication for the Baptist church, in America, he completed his life’s work in Japan.
In 1873 he left his home in Claremont, New Hampshire for Yokohama, Japan. Learning yet another language. He died in Yokohama in 1886 at the age of 79. One of the projects he is remembered for is the translation of the Bible into Vernacular Japanese. A copy of that Bible is in the archives at Harvard Theological College library.
There is enough material on record to write a whole book just on the life of Nathan Brown. I do not thing I will attempt it. I will say this though; Nathan left a long list of accomplishments in America, India and Japan. He was known as a linguist and found languages easy to comprehend and translate.
In 1856 William Goldsmith moved his family to Springfield, Mass. where he lived while editor and publisher of the Chicopee Journal. His son Francis Fisher attended high school there in Chicopee. Shortly before the Civil war William Goldsmith went west, eventually locating in Farmington, Wisconsin. His daughter, Anna Judson joined him there in 1865 when she was twenty-five years of age.
_______
In the U.S. Census of 1870, William Goldsmith Brown, Eunice Brown, Anna J. Preston and Frank Preston all lived in Farmington.
Later moving to a farm in Linwood, Wisconsin, which was near his shingle mill on Mill Creek.
William Goldsmith Brown had a talent for writing, especially poetry. Over the years he acquired a name for himself as an author and editor and eventually was honored by being declared Poet Laureate of Portage County, Wisconsin.
A selection of Brown’s poetry follows this chapter.
Their son Francis Fisher Brown, carried on the tradition of writer and author. During his lifetime he made a name for himself with the Dial Magazine in Chicago. One of Francis fisher’s best known works, “The Everyday life of Abraham Lincoln” has been reprinted and declared to be one of the best accounts of the life of Abraham Lincoln ever written.
Francis Fisher Brown was is business in Chicago and one year before the famous Chicago fire, he lost his printing business to fire. His friend Frank Lloyd Wright, designed his new reading room and publishing house there in Chicago.
*Just a note: Francis Fisher Brown was of frail health from a sickness suffered during the Civil War of which he never fully recovered his physical strength. He operated his publishing business in Chicago and raised his family in Pasadena, California. A close friend and fellow writer in California was John Muir the naturalist.
William Goldsmith’s brother Nathan had a heart for God. In his boyhood he established his role as a missionary.
The following is a quote from the book the Whole World Kin as compiled by Nathan’s wife, many years later.
“One day some seventy-five years ago a little lad came out of the doorway of a low, unpainted farm-house in Vermont, with a sorrowful, yet determined expression on his face. He trudged along the country road for a considerable distance; his countenance growing more troubled as he proceeded, till at length overcome, apparently by fear or distress, he turned and ran home, the tears coursing down his cheeks. After being comforted and encouraged by his mother, he started out again, but was overcome and turned back as before. He had evidently undertaken some difficult or unpleasant business, but it was not given up; again he set out, furnished now with a trifling commission from his mother, to open the way for his own more serious errand. On he marched with more heart to the house of a rather remote neighbor. It was Mr.---, an isolated, rough-mannered man, of whom the country people reported strange things; that he believed in no life apart from this green earth; that he had been heard to say that he should come back as one of the birds, squirrels or cattle when done with this body; and worse than all, that the Bible was not true, and that there was no God! Filled with concern by these reports, the little boy had for some days been thinking the matter over; had become oppressed I with a sense of responsibility, and determined to visit the atheist. His mother had noticed his seriousness, discovered his plan and fearing that he might encounter harshness and profanity, had tried to dissuade him from going, till, finding that the idea was a fixed conscientious purpose, she had at length consented, and the child has set out on his errand. At last the two mile walk along the hilly road was accomplished; the house was reached, and the mother’s message delivered. The real object of the visit was then discovered by the question. “Mr.---do you believe the Bible?” “No; no more than I believe in the dog’s barking.” Not daunted by this blunt negative, the little missionary commenced trying to convince the unbeliever that there is a God. “Who the h*$#&*---sent you here to tell me that?” was the angry retort.
“Nobody sent me,” returned the boy, “but I came to tell you THERE IS A GOD.” He said it as he would have told a blind man there is a sun; and then turned homeward, his mission accomplished, his mind at rest.
Transcript of a letter from Alice Mable Preston Eggelston believed to be written in 1965. As a child of 12, Alice talked to her grandfather, William Goldsmith Brown, hearing many stories, words of wisdom and more. She was able to capture the following bits of family history.
“The Ancestors of this Brown family came to America from England to join his brother Peter Brown of the Mayflower colony in 1600 **see note. Joshua Brown was born in the 1700’s and he and his brothers served in the Revolutionary War. A record of all these facts is written in the book the Whole World Kin.

3. Charles Loghry died two years later on 13 Aug. 1882.
The following is from a letter written by Phil Loghry, gg-grandson of William H. H. Loghry:
By the way, he generally preferred to use his second name, Henry. Henry enlisted in the Union Army on March 29, 1864. He was later captured by the Confederate Army, and held for seven months in the Andersonville Prison. He was ultimately released on a prisoner exchange agreement, April 1, 1865, and was honorably discharged on May 30, 1865. During his time in prison, his wife, Elizabeth took ill and died, leaving their children (Charles, JULIA, and Freddie) homeless. By the way, Freddie was a girl...notice the female spelling of the name; also Charles' obit states his brother (Frank), and two sisters (JULIA and Freddie) preceded him in death. Ok, back to the homeless children; I can only assume that brother Frank and wife Elizabeth Sicklar Loghry took the children into their home and cared for them until after their father was discharged from the Army, since both families at that time lived in St. Anne, ILL. (Real estate records show Frank as owning a home in St. Anne during this period. Henry is not listed of owning property there.) Some of this is only speculation on my part, but it could answer the confusion about who JULIA's parents were...I have no doubt that Wm. Henry, and Elizabeth Williams Loghry were her parents, but (speculation) Uncle Frank and Aunt Elizabeth Sicklar Loghry took her & siblings in for quite a long time, since father Henry needed to re-establish a home after the war. On Oct 16, 1866, William Henry married again, to Mrs. Henrietta Swan, a soldier's widow. There were nine children from this union.

He was sometimes called "William the Bastard". This was not meant in
a cruel way, but to show that his parents weren't married and so he
would not inherit unless his father acknowledged him as his son and
there were no other living legitimate heirs, which as the case here.

William Morrison
Posted by Dick Campbell on Mon, 12
Apr 1999
"William Morrison, one of Becker County's earliest white settlers,
was born in Montreal, Canada, March 7th, 1785.
His father was a Scotch immigrant named Allan Morrison, a native of
Stornoway, on the Lewis, one of the Hebrides or western Isles,
forming part of Scotland, and his mother a Canadian French lady named
Jane (or Jessie) Wadin.
William having received a common school education, commenced clerking
in a store in Montreal before he was fifteen years of age.
Montreal was at that time the home and general headquarters of the
British and Canadian fur traders, who came down the Ottawa and St
Lawrence Rivers, in mackinaw boats and birch-bark canoes, every
summer, with their winter's collectionof furs, and returned the same
season, to the far Northwest, with a new supply of goods for the next
winter's business.
The few avenues to fortunes presented to the ambitious young men by
the Canada of that day, coupled with the tales of adventures, and
stories of the large profits made in the fur trade, fired young
Morrison's ambition, and he at the early age of sixteen, was
apprenticed by his father with the Northwest Fur Company, then the
great rival of the more ancient Hudson's Bay Company, and started for
old Grand Portage on Lake Superior, the Company's western
headquarters, with the returning boats.
The next year, in 1802, he was sent to Leech Lake and thence to an
outpost on the headwaters of one of the streams tributary to the Crow
Wing River, from which point they collected furs from their Indian
hunters scattered through what is now Becker and Otter Tail Counties.
These Indians were Pillager Chippewas, and from information gathered
from some of the old Indians I knew at Leech Lake in 1870, and who
remembered well "Sha-gah-nansh-eence," the "Little Englishman," as he
was called by the Chippewas, I would locate this outpost at Shell
Lake.
In 1803-4 Morrison wintered at Upper Rice Lake on the head waters of
the Wild Rice River, and it was during that winter and the spring of
1804 that he visited Lake Itasca and the various smaller lakes which
form part of the source of the Mississippi River. No white man had
ever visited that country before Morrison, and he rightfully claimed
to be the discoverer of the source of this great river, although
Nicollet, Beltrami and Schoolcraft all claimed this honor several
years later.
It being the policy of the Northwest Fur Company not to allow any of
its traders to remain more than one or two years at the game outpost,
Morrison was, in this manner, enabled to visit many places, and
became well acquainted with the fur resources of a vast territory;
the knowledge so acquired soon proved of great value to him.
His industrious habits and natural shrewdness, coupled with his
ability to handle the rough "voyageurs" and his popularity among the
Indians, soon attracted the notice of his employers, and after
several years spent in managing various trading posts tn Minnesota,
he was placed in charge of a number of them, with headquarters at
Sandy Lake, on the upper Mississippi River. It was while stationed
there that an incident occurred, illustrating his popularity with,
and influence over the Indians.
Tecumseh's brother, "The Prophet," had sent out his tobacco to all
the western and northwestern tribes, with a secret message to the
Indians to join him in a general massacre of the whites in the Indian
country.
Such was the reputation and influence of this famous grand medicine
man, the prophet, over the Indians, that although the Chippewas were
of a peaceful disposition and had no great cause of complaint against
their traders, they dared not refuse the invitation. The tobacco sent
was smoked in secret council, the Indians withdrew away from the
trading posts, and generally assumed an unfriendly attitude.
Morrison had left Sandy Lake and gone on a business trip to Fond du
Lac, to meet with the other chief traders and the managing board of
the Northwest Company. While there, messengers came in from Sandy
Lake and a number of other trading posts, with reports, that the
Indians were acting in an unfriendly manner, and that their actions
indicated there was mischief a brewing, but none of the traders'
employes could find out what the trouble was.
The assembled traders decided that Morrison was the only one able to
get the secret out of the Indians, and he started at once for Sandy
Lake, his own post, with the messenger who had brought the report.
They had a light birch canoe and traveled rapidly, so that on the
forenoon of the third day they paddled out of Prairie River into
Sandy Lake.
Some young Indians, who were returning from a deer hunt, recognizing
him, hurried home to spread the news, that the "Little Englishman"
was coming home. From stray hints heard while at Fond du Lac,Morrison
had made up his mind that "The Prophet" was at the bottom of the
trouble, and he soon decided on his plan of action. Paddling close to
the shore he was soon opposite the wigwams of the Indians, but
contrary to custom he never stopped to enquire about the news and
kept on as if in a great hurry. This nettled the suspicious Indians,
and one of them was sent on to intercept Morrison above one of the
small portages which cut across the points formed by the long bends
of the Mississippi River, below the mouth of the Sandy Lake River.
His face was painted black, and as Morrison did not seem to notice
him, the Indian hailed the canoe, when the paddlers stopped. "You
seem to be in great hurry," said the Indian, "what news where you
come from?" "Nothing," answered Morrison, "and what is going on
here?" "Nothing here either." Then Morrison slowly began paddling
away; stopping suddenly, he half turned around saying: "Oh yes, there
is some news I was forgetting. The great medicine man, "The Prophet,"
has been killed by the Long Knives, (the Americans). Then he resumed
paddling and soon reached his stockade, a short distance down the
Mississippi. The next day the Indians flocked in and resumed friendly
relations, without showing the least sign of ill feeling.
As luck would have it, messengers came a few days afterwards from
Lake Superior; confirming his report of the death of "The Prophet,"
and all circumstances connected with the plot came out.
It was a lucky hit. Morrison had calculated that if he could get the
Indians to come around, he would succeed in getting them started out
deer hunting, birch-bark raising, etc., and get them scattered, so
they could not spend their days of idleness in plotting more
mischief.
William Morrison stayed with the Northwest Fur Company until in 1816,
when being offered better inducements, he joined the American Fur
Company (John Jacob Astor's), and was placed in charge of the
department of Fond du Lac, with headquarters at Old Superior,
Wisconsin. This department embracing within its territory, Lake
Vermillion, Red Lake, Sandy Lake, Leech Lake, Lake Winnebagoshish,
Cass Lake, Otter Tail Lake, Crow Wing on the Mississippi, and Grand
Portage on Lake Superior. He remained in charge of John Jacob Astor's
business there until 1826, when having acquired what was called a
competency for those day', he retired from the fur trade and returned
to Canada. There to purchased a large island, since known as
Morrison's Island, in the St. Lawrence River, between Old Fort
William Henry, now Sorel, on the south shore, and Berthier-en-Haut,
on the north shore of the river.
For some years he was engaged in farming, but pastoral life was too
quiet and unexciting for his active mind, and after a few years spent
on the farm, he settled in Berthier, where for many years he carried
on a mercantile business, and was also judge of the county court.
While trading in the upper Mississippi country, he married a Pillager
Chippewa woman, by whom he had two boys and a girl. His wife dying
soon after the birth of the last born, the children were, according
to Indian custom, taken care of by the wife's mother, who always
thereafter followed and lived with her grandchildren. When Morrison
left the Indian country in 1826, he made arrangements to take his
three children with him, but on the eve of the day set for the
departure of the boats, from Superior for Mackinoe, the grandmother
stole the children and disappeared during the night. Search for them
was made for several days, but with-out success, and they were
necessarily left behind. They returned eventually to Leech Lake, and
in course of time the two boys grew to be great hunters and warriors,
and many Sioux scalps dangled from their belts whenever they went out
with a war party.
In spite of their Indian bringing up, and thanks to the good advice
given them by their uncle, Allan Morrison, they never forgot that
they were of white blood, and always exercised their influence over
their reckless tribesmen to keep them from molesting the whites, and
but for the stand take n by Joseph, (or Ay-gans as the Indians called
him), at Leech Lake during the outbreak of 1862, there would have
been a massacre of the employes and traders at the agency.
Hole-in-the-day, head chief of the Mississippi Chippewas, had stirred
up the Pillagers to such a pitch that they had robbed the stores and
made the whites prisoners. They had met in several councils and the
most reckless of them had decided that the whites must die the next
morning. Ay-gans had taken an active part in the councils, but had
always taken the part of the prisoners. At last, when he saw that all
his efforts had been in vain, he got up and spoke about their
comradeship in war and in the hunts, and also on their relationship
to one another and of that law of nature which binds kin to kin, and
then he bared his arm, displaying his light skin, saying: "You are
talking of killing our white friends. and you say they must die
tomorrow. Look at this arm; it is light colored, the blood that runs
through it is white man's blood, and when you kill our white friends
you will kill me also." That last part of the speech was telling. Ay-
gans was a brave man, and his last words, were to Indian ears, both
defiant and threatening. The next morning other brave men took sides
with the whites and their lives were spared. They were marched down
to Gull Lake as prisoners, and turned over to the care of the Gull
Lake Indians, and afterwards liberated.
Descendants of this Jos. Morrison are now settled on the Wild Rice
River in Norman County, but formerly were a part of the first
contingent of Otter Tail Chippewas, who removed with their father to
Becker County in 1872, and settled around the present agency and the
Old Trading Post.
The daughter was taken into the family of one of the missionaries and
followed them to Stillwater, where she married a German farmer, and
died several years ago. Joseph died at Beaulieu, Minn., in January,
1889. His older brother Richard, or Dekaince, died at Otter Tail Lake
about 1870.
William Morrison's second wife was a Miss Ronssain, daughter of a
Fond du Lac, Minn., Indian trader. She was the mother of two sons and
two daughters, and went with her husband to Canada, where she died a
few years afterwards. William, the older of the two boys, left Canada
for the. west and eventually joining one of Col. Fremont's
expeditions to the Pacific coast, went to California, where he
settled and died about 1850.
The younger son, Donald George, left Canada before he was twenty
years of age, and worked his way through Michigan, Illinois and
Wisconsin to Minnesota, where he settled in the Red River valley near
the boundary line, and became a member of the territorial Legislature
of Minnesota. A few years later he settled in Old Superior;
Wisconsin, where he was elected register of deeds of Douglas County,
an office he held for years afterwards. He died in Superior, in 1898.
After the death: of his second wife, William Morrison found himself
with four young children, with none but hired help to manage and care
for them, so after a couple years of this kind of existence, he
married Miss Elizabeth Ann Kittson, an elder sister of the late
Commodore N. W. Kittson of St Paul, Minnesota. Four daughters were
born of that union.
Mrs. Morrison died in February, 1864, and her husband, who had been
blind for several years could not bear up long under the blow. He
aged rapidly after this, and although surrounded by kind friends who
endeavored by their attentions and company, to keep his mind
interested in the events of the day, he lost all interest in life and
gradually passed away. He died on Morrison's Island August 7th, 1866,
and was buried in Sorel, alongside of his last wife.
In religion he was an Episcopalian, and in politics a Conservative,
and a strong supporter of the Canadian government in the troublesome
years of 1837-38, and possessed of much influence with the
authorities. This he used to good advantage after the rebellion, and
was instrumental in saving the lives and liberty of many of his
patriotic friends."
