| 2602 | From Life Sketch Geoffrey V (24 August 1113 – 7 September 1151) — called the Handsome or the Fair (French: le Bel) and Plantagenet — was the Count of Anjou, Touraine, and Maine by inheritance from 1129 and then Duke of Normandy by conquest from 1144. By his marriage to the Empress Matilda, daughter and heiress of Henry I of England, Geoffrey had a son, Henry Curtmantle, who succeeded to the English throne as King Henry II (1154-1189) and founded the Plantagenet dynasty, whose name was taken from Geoffrey's epithet. His ancestral domain of Anjou gave rise to the name Angevin, for three kings of England, and what became known as the Angevin Empire in the 12th century. | Plantagenet, Duke Geoffrey V (I25438)

| 2603 | From Life Sketch Henry, 3rd Earl of Leicester and Lancaster (c. 1281 – 22 September 1345) was an English nobleman, one of the principals behind the deposition of Edward II of England. He was the younger son of Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl of Lancaster, Earl of Leicester, who was a son of King Henry III by his wife Eleanor of Provence. Henry's mother was Blanche of Artois, Queen Dowager of Navarre. Henry's elder brother Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster, succeeded their father in 1296, but Henry was summoned to Parliament on 6 February 1298/99 by writ directed to Henrico de Lancastre nepoti Regis ("Henry of Lancaster, nephew of the king", Edward I), by which he is held to have become Baron Lancaster. He took part in the Siege of Caerlaverock in July 1300. Petition for succession and inheritance After a period of longstanding opposition to King Edward II and his advisors, including joining two open rebellions, Henry's brother Thomas was convicted of treason, executed and had his lands and titles forfeited in 1322. Henry did not participate in his brother's rebellions; he later petitioned for his brother's lands and titles, and on 29 March 1324 he was invested as Earl of Leicester. A few years later, shortly after his accession in 1327, the young Edward III of England returned the earldom of Lancaster to him, along with other lordships such as that of Bowland. Revenge On the Queen's return to England in September 1326 with Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March, Henry joined her party against King Edward II, which led to a general desertion of the king's cause and overturned the power of Hugh le Despenser, 1st Earl of Winchester, and his namesake son Hugh the younger Despenser. He was sent in pursuit and captured the king at Neath in South Wales. He was appointed to take charge of the king and was responsible for his custody at Kenilworth Castle. Full restoration and reward Henry was appointed "chief advisor" for the new king Edward III of England, and was also appointed captain-general of all the king's forces in the Scottish Marches. He was appointed High Sheriff of Lancashire in 1327. He also helped the young king to put an end to Mortimer's regency and tyranny, also had him declared a traitor and executed in 1330. Loss of sight In about the year 1330, he became blind. | Plantagenet, Henry (I25598)

| 2609 | From Life Sketch: Bet. 11 Jan 1556-10 Jan 1557 in Oswestry Mersete St. Asaph Welsh, Selattyn, Shropshire, England. From Genealogy of Cole Family: The name of this ancient and noble family, which gave five knights of the shire to Cornwall, has been in different ages spelt in various ways; but l'Arcedekne, and Erchdeken seem to have been the most usual. The family was originally of Devon, but afterwards became by inheritance possessed of "two noble seats in Cornwall; of which the castle of Ruan-Lanihorne, then called Shepestall, was perhaps the most superb." In later times, however, the manor of East Anthony, which was obtained by marriage with the heiress of D'Auney, became the chief residence of this house. In the reign of Henry III. Sir Michael Erchdekne owned the manor of Showbrooke in Devon, which, it is supposed, was acquired through a marriage with the heiress of the Clavells, who had been lord thereof from the time of the Norman Conqueror. His son and heir Sir Thomas Ercedekne, knight., sheriff of Cornwall, 7 Edward I., was father of Odo or Endo le Ercedekne, who, in 1289, gave the lands of Westlydeton, to the abbey of Tavistock, and, in 1312, held the lordship and castle of Trematon. Odo was living in 18 Edward I., as was also his son and heir, Thomas, who afterwards received the honour of knighthood, and was made governor of Tintagel Castle. He served frequently as knight of the shire, was summoned to parliament as a Baron, from 15 May, 14 Edward II. (1321) to 13 September, 18 Edward II., and died at a patriarchal age in 1329. He married, first, Alice, daughter and eventual co-heir to Sir Thomas, Lord de la Roche; and his second wife was Maud, daughter of the Lord Mulys (or Moels). By the latter he had no issue, but by the former he had a son and heir, Sir John Archedekne (aged about 25 years at his father's decease), who was knight of the shire in IO Edward III., and much engaged in that monarch's wars with France and Scotland. He had summons to 'parliament as a Baron in 16 Edward III. (1342), and married Cecily, daughter and heiress to Sir Jordan de Haccombe (by his wife Isabel, daughter and heiress of Sir Mauger St. Aubyn, knight., of Pidekeswell in Georgeham, co. Devon), and by her had nine sons. Ralph, the eldest, died, a.p.; Sir Warren A., knight., the second son, succeeded to Lanheme, &c., married Elizabeth, daughter and co-heir of Sir John Talbot of Richards Castle, co. Hereford, and had a daughter, Philippa, who married Sir Hugh Courtenay of Boconnoc, brother to Edward, Earl of Devon, and second son of Hugh, the tenth Earl; Odo, the third son ( Esch. 9 Henry IV., no. 39) was father of John l'Erchdekne, who, by Maud his wife, had a son and heir John, the father of Philippa and of another John (Each. 13 Edward IV.), who had two sons, viz., John, the father of Joan, his heir, who was married to -Winter, of Cornwall (Escli. l Henry VIII), and Thomas, whose daughter Mary married John Cole, asin the text. The other six sons were Richard, who married Joane, daughter of Richard Bosowr, and had Thomas, in whom the heir male of this family took an end; John ; Robert ; Martyn; Reignald ; and Michael | Archdeacon, Thomas FitzAlan (I25241)

A manuscript relating to the Mowbray family records the birth “V Kal Dec…apud Hovingham” in 1310 of “Johannes filius Dñi Johis de Moubray”[734]. He succeeded his father as Lord Mowbray de iure when the latter was hanged in 1322. However, his father's estates were confiscated for supporting the rebellion of Thomas Earl of Lancaster in his rebellion. John de Mowbray was imprisoned in the Tower 26 Feb 1322. His inheritance was restored on the accession of King Edward III. A manuscript record of the Mowbray family states that “Johannes filius [Johannis]” was buried “apud Bedford”[735]. m firstly (after 28 Feb 1327) JOAN of Lancaster, daughter of HENRY Duke of Lancaster & his wife Maud Chaworth ([1312]-7 Jul [1349], bur Byland Abbey, Yorkshire).

Barony by Writ. III. 1322. John (de Mowbray), Lord Mowbray, son and heir, born 29 Nov. 1310, at Hovingham, Yorks, and baptized in All Saints Church there. On 26 Feb. 1321/2 he was imprisoned in the Tower. On the accession of Edward III his inheritance, of which many grants had been made, was restored, and on 3 Feb. 1326/7 the wardship of Axholme was granted to Joan, Countess (de Warenne) of Surrey. On 5 Apr. 1327 he was summoned for service against the Scots, and on 22 Apr. was ordered, as lord of Gower, to bring his men from Wales personally to Newcastle. On 27 July, the King having taken his homage, he had livery of all his father's lands (excepting those of the Templars), though he was still under age. He was summoned to Parliament from 10 Dec. 1327 to 20 Nov. 1360, and frequently to Councils from 1328 to 1359. He is said to have been present at Amiens, 6 June 1329, when Edward III did homage to the King of France. He was at Swansea on 1 Aug. 1332, and at Fountains on 24 Aug. From now on he was put on numerous commissions of array, oyer and terminer, and in July assisted in the retaking of Berwick. He was at Oystermouth, in Gower, on 16 Aug. 1334, but appears to have have returned to Scotland to guard the Border. In Mar. 1336/7 two ships were provided for him for going to Scotland, and he had remission of 300 marks owing to the Exchequer. In Oct. 1338 he was ordered to take all his forces to Sussex to defend the coast, and was continuously in the King's service up to the summer of 1341, being ordered from Sussex to Scotland again at Michaelmas 1339, and appointed, 15 Apr. 1340, Keeper of Berwick-on-Tweed for a year, and justice in the parts of Scotland occupied by the King of England. In Nov. 1342 the King, who had arrived at Brest in Oct., ordered him to furnish men-at-arms and archers as quickly as possible for the campaign in Brittany, and to send them on if he could not come himself. On 20 Nov. he was summoned to a Council with Prince Edward, and on 13 May 1343, as lord of Gower, was ordered to be intendant to the Prince, who had been created Prince of Wales. On 22 July 1345 he was at Byland Abbey, and in July 1346 he was again in garrison at Berwick, and was ordered to select and send for the French campaign 150 Welshmen from Gower; he was also directed to send a deputy to the Parliament summoned for Sept., as he was needed on the Scottish border. At the defeat of the Scots at Nevill's Cross, Durham, 17 Oct. 1346, he led "the 3rd battle" with the Bishop of Lincoln, and was among the Northern magnates who received the King's thanks for their services then. With other Northern magnates he was summoned, 10 Dec., to a Council at Westminster on Scottish affairs, and shortly after Easter 1347 returned to Scotland on service. He was summoned to Councils again in Mar. 1350, and in 1352 and 1353. He is said to have taken part in the naval defeat of the Spaniards off Winchelsea, 29 Aug. 1350. From 1351 onwards he was a justice of the peace in Lincs and other counties. He was one of the five commissioners appointed in May 1352 for the defence of the Yorkshire coast against an expected invasion, and as lord of Gower was ordered to provide 30 Welshmen. In the spring of 1355, as John de Mowbray, baron, he was present with his son (as John de Mowbray, nephew of the Earl of Lancaster) at the confirmation of the statutes of St. Mary's, Leicester. Towards the end of that year he was in Scotland with the King, and on 20 Jan. 1355/6 witnessed the surrender by Baliol of his claim to the Scottish crown in favour of Edward. Having lost the lordship of Gower, he from about this time styled himself "lord of the Isle of Axholme and of the honour of Bramber." He was one of those who took the oath that the treaty of Bretigny should be observed. He married, firstly, John, sixth and youngest daughter of Henry, Earl of Lancaster. She died 7 July (? 1349), and is said to have been buried before the high altar at Byland. He married, secondly, Elizabeth, widow of Hugh de Courtenay (dead 1349), son and heir of Hugh, 2nd Earl of Devon, and daughter of John (de Vere or Veer), Earl of Oxford, by Maud, widow of Robert FitzPayn, and second daughter of Bartholomew, Lord Badlesmere.

| 2612 | From Life Sketch: Birth: 1635, England Death: Sep. 25, 1707 Springfield Burlington County New Jersey, USA Richard "The Emigrant" Stockton" Richard Stockton and his wife Abigail were the founders of the New Jersey branch of the Stockton family. Richard was born about 1635, probably in England. They are buried on their property Richard purchased from George Hutchinson. This property is located on Annaricken Brook in Springfield Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. Annaricken was also known as Annaniken, Oneanickon, Oneakiekon, and An-na-nicken. There are horse farms located on what was Richard Stockton's property. History of the Stockton Family by J.W. Stockton "that the tract of land purchased by Richard Stockton in West Jersey was originally known by the Indian name of An-na-nicken; that it was over two miles in length and one in width; and that the mansion house of the late James Shreve is on the site of the house built and occupied by Mr. Stockton until his death." At Flushing on 22 Apr 1665, Col. Nicolls (Nichols), as governor of NY, commissioned Richard Stockton a Lieutenant of Horse. On 9 Apr 1669, the then governor of New York, Francis Lovelace, gave under this hand: "Whereas I intimated lately that I did approve of Richard Stockton to be Lieutenant of the Company of Foot, but I am since informed he was before enlisted and engaged in the Horse service, and I have thought fit to acquit him either as Officer or otherwise from the Foot service.

RICHARD INGLESBY. - Journal of John Bowne, 1650 - 1694 "to enquyer for Richards stoktons Ounkel {uncle} his name is Thomas Stockton a docker of fisick liueing in Cole harber in or nere london." John Bowne was a neighbor of Richard "The Emigrant" Stockton in what was then Vlissingen, Long Island, New Netherland, now Flushing, Long Island, New York. John Bowne's Journal includes information about life in Flushing and his Quaker missions to England. It appears that Richard "The Emigrant" Stockton requested John Bowne enquire about his uncle Thomas Stockton who lived in "Cole harbor" in or near London. "Cole harbor" is probably the district of Coldharbour that is in the center of London. John Bowne shows Richard's uncle Thomas Stockton as a "docker of fisick." In the 1600's a Doctor of Medicine was known as a "Doctor of Phyic." Coldharbour was destroyed by the 1666 Great Fire of London. - Please see: Owen Stockton (c.1548-1610) Richard and Abigail's son: Job Stockton (c.1676-1732) Richard and Abigail's great-grandson: Richard "The Signer" Stockton (1730-1781) Children of Richard and Abigail Stockton: Richard Stockton (c.1665-1709) ~ m.

| 2613 | From Life Sketch: Eleanor Of Castile, Spanish Leonor De Castilla born 1246—died Nov. 28, 1290, Harby, Nottinghamshire, England, queen consort of King Edward I of England (ruled 1272–1307). Her devotion to Edward helped bring out his better qualities; after her death, his rule became somewhat arbitrary. Eleanor was the daughter of King Ferdinand III of Castile and his wife, Joan of Ponthieu. In 1254 Eleanor was married to Lord Edward, son of England’s King Henry III. In honour of the event, her half brother, Alfonso X of Castile, transferred to Edward his claims to Gascony. When Henry III’s baronial opponents seized power in England in 1264, Eleanor was sent for safety to France; she returned in October 1265, after Edward had crushed the rebels. Eleanor accompanied Edward on a crusade from 1270 to 1273. The story that she saved his life at Acre (now in Israel) by sucking poison from a dagger wound is evidently apocryphal. After Edward ascended the throne, Eleanor was criticized for allegedly mistreating the tenants on her lands. Upon her death, Edward erected the famous Eleanor Crosses—several of which still stand—at each place where her coffin rested on its way to London.

| 2617 | From Life Sketch: Joan of Lancaster was born circa 1312 at Grosmont Castle in Monmouthshire. Her father was the son of Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl of Lancaster and Blanche of Artois, Queen Dowager of Navarre, a granddaughter of Louis VIII of France and Blanche of Castile. Her paternal great-grandparents were Henry III of England and Eleanor of Provence. Joan was thus doubly descended from Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Joan's mother was a half-sister of Edward II's favorite, Hugh le Despenser the Younger, through the remarriage of Maud's mother, Isabella de Beauchamp, to Hugh le Despenser, 1st Earl of Winchester. Joan had one brother, Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster, and five sisters, Blanche, Baroness Wake of Liddell, Isabel, Abbess of Amesbury, Maud, Countess of Ulster, Eleanor, Countess of Arundel and Warenne, and Mary, Baroness Percy. Joan's niece, Elizabeth de Burgh, Countess of Ulster, married Lionel of Antwerp, Duke of Clarence, the second surviving son of Edward III and Philippa of Hainault, a marriage that would create a line of descent to strengthen the Yorkist claim to the throne in the Wars of the Roses. Another niece, Blanche of Lancaster, married the third surviving son of Edward III, John of Gaunt, and became the mother of the first Lancastrian king of England, Henry IV. | Plantagenet, Lady Joan of Lancaster (I25425)

| 2632 | From LifeSketch Eadmond of Wessex "Ironside" m (Malmesbury, Wiltshire [Jun/Aug] 1015) as her second husband, ÆLDGYTH, widow of SIGEFERTH, daughter of --- . The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that "prince Edmund…abducted [Siferth's widow] against the king's will and made her his wife" but does not name her[1888]. Simeon of Durham records that Edmund married "Algitha widow of Sigeferth" in 1015[1889]. According to Ronay, she was the daughter of Olof "Skotkonung" King of Sweden and his concubine Edla of Vindland, but the author cites no primary source to support this suggestion[1890]. If the assertion is correct, it is surprising that Ældgyth is not mentioned with the Swedish king's other children in the Saga of Olaf Haraldson[1891]. In addition, there would be no explanation for Ældgyth's first marriage to an obscure Northumbrian nobleman, especially as King Olof's two known daughters made high-profile marriages with the Grand Prince of Kiev and the king of Norway. Simeon of Durham records that, after Ældgyth's first husband was murdered on the orders of Eadric "Streona/the Acquisitor" Ealdorman of Mercia, Ældgyth was arrested and brought to Malmesbury on the orders of King Æthelred II who had confiscated her husband's properties in the north of England[1892]. She was abducted and married, against the king's wishes, by her second husband who proceeded to take possession of her first husband's properties. No mention has been found of Queen Ældgyth after the death of her second husband. King Edmund "Ironside" & his wife had two children: Ealdgyth Ældgyth of England Morcarsdottir Algitha widow of Sigeferth Queen consort of England Tenure 23 April 1016 – 30 November 1016 Born c. 992 Died After 1016 Spouse(s) Sigeferth Edmund, King of England Issue Edward the Exile Edmund Ætheling Ealdgyth (floruit 1015–1016) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ealdgyth (circa 992 – after 1016), modern English Edith may have been the name of the wife of Sigeferth son of Earngrim, thegn of the Seven Burghs, and later of King Edmund Ironside. She was probably the mother of Edmund's sons Edward the Exile and Edmund Ætheling. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that Sigeferth and his brother Morcar, described as "foremost thegns of the Seven Burghs" were killed at an assembly of the English nobility at Oxford. Ealdorman Eadric Streona is said to have killed them "dishonourably" after having invited them to his rooms. The Seven Burghs, otherwise unknown, are presumed to have been the Five Burghs and Torksey and York. Following the killings, King Æthelred the Unready had the property of Sigeferth and Morcar seized and ordered that Sigeferth's widow, whose name the Chronicle does not record, should be detained at Malmesbury Abbey. The chronicle of John of Worcester calls her Ealdgyth.[1] In the late summer of 1015, at some time between 15 August and 8 September, Edmund Ironside raised a revolt against his father King Æthelred. Either then, or perhaps even earlier, he removed Sigeferth's widow from Malmesbury, against his father's wishes, and married her. Sigeferth and Morcar's friends and allies supported Edmund after this.[2] While two charters issued by Edmund which mention his wife survive from about this time, neither of them contain her name in the surviving texts.[3] It is generally, but not universally, supposed that Ealdgyth, if that was her name, was the mother of Edmund Ironside's sons.[4] These were Edmund, who died young in exile, and Edward the Exile, who returned to England late in the reign of his uncle King Edward the Confessor and died soon afterwards. Whether she went into exile with her children following Edmund's death in 1016 is unknown. One reason advanced for supposing that John of Worcester may have been mistaken in naming this woman Ealdgyth is that Sigeferth's brother Morcar had also been married to a woman named Ealdgyth.[5] This Ealdgyth was the daughter of Ælfthryth, and niece of Ælfhelm, Ealdorman of York and Wulfric Spot. While Ealdgyth is a common female name in the period, this coincidence has raised the suspicion that the Worcester chronicler has confused Sigeferth's widow with his sister-in-law.[6] Notes 1.

| 2635 | From LifeSketch Walter Giffard, Lord of Longueville, Normandy (a.k.a. 'Giffard of Barbastre'), was a Norman baron, a Tenant-in-chief in England, a Christian knight who fought against the Saracens in Spain during the Reconquista and was one of the 15 or so known Companions of William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Life Walter[a] was the son of Osborne de Bolbec, Lord of Longueville and Avelina,[b] sister of Gunnora, Duchess of Normandy. As such he was a cousin of William the Conqueror. From the mid 1040s Walter's name appears among the loyal supporters of William the Conqueror. Walter was at the Battle of Mortemer and was among the Norman barons who surprised and defeated Counts Odo and Renaud leading the French contingent attacking Normandy from the east. In particular, he and another great vassal Robert of Eu encountered Odo's army encamped in the village of Mortemer with no sentries and the soldiers were drunk. The Normans attacked the French while they slept, most being either killed or taken prisoner. While Odo himself escaped, when King Henry I learned of the fate of his brother Odo's army he promptly withdrew his remaining forces and left Normandy. In 1054 Walter was in charge of maintaining the siege of Arques castle, against William of Talou, who had rebelled against the Conqueror. Like many other Norman and French knights during the eleventh and early twelfth centuries, Walter served as a Christian knight in Spain (c. 1064-65) against the Saracens. His epithet le Barbastre[c] was earned when he took part in the Siege of Barbastro, an undertaking sanctioned by Pope Alexander II against the Moors in 1064, one of the more famous exploits of that time. By the time of the Conquest, Walter had returned to Normandy bearing a gift of the King of Spain for Duke William, a magnificent war-horse. The same Spanish war-horse duke William called for on the morning of the Battle of Hastings. The Spanish king in question was in all probability Sancho Ramírez of Aragon (1063–94) who was known for making friends and recruiting knights and soldiers from Northern France. Walter was also one of the first, if not the first in England to go on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, which he did after the siege of Barbastro and before returning to Normandy. In early January of 1066, after Duke William received news of the crowning of Harold Godwinson as king of England, he called together a meeting that included six of his key magnates, Walter Giffard being one of them. After telling them of his plan to invade England and take the crown they all advised him they supported him fully but suggested he call a meeting of all his vassals, which William did. In the preparation stage for the Battle of Hastings, Walter was one of the Norman magnates who provided ships for William's invasion fleet. In his case, he provided thirty. Walter was one of two who, having been offered the privilege of carrying William's standard in the battle, respectfully refused. Although by this time an older warrior with white hair, he wanted both hands free to fight. As a reward for his participation, Walter was granted the feudal barony of Long Crendon, comprising 107 manors, 48 of which were in Buckinghamshire, of which the caput was at Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire. The date of his death is not recorded, but his son Walter succeeded him before 1085. Family Walter was married to Ermengarde, daughter of Gerard Flaitel. Walter and Ermengarde were the parents of: Walter Giffard, 1st Earl of Buckingham. William Giffard, Bishop of Winchester. Rohese Giffard (d. aft. 1113), married Richard fitz Gilbert, Lord of Clare. Lora Giffard, married Sir Robert de Hampden. Notes This Walter has been confused with his son, Walter Giffard, 1st Earl of Buckingham. Orderic confused reports of father and son while Freeman, not realizing that the elder Walter had died in the lifetime of the Conqueror, assumed William Rufus had created the first Walter as earl of Buckingham when in fact it was his son Walter who became the first earl. See: Records of Buckinghamshire, Vol 8, Ed. John Parker (Aylesbury: G.T. de Fraine, "Bucks Herald" Office, 1903), pp. 289-293. Robert of Torigni calls her Weva, The Complete Peerage, Vol II, 386 note (a) states she was Avelina, and both were names of sisters of Gunnora, but it remains uncertain which was which. Also Europäische Stammtäfeln II, 695 calls her Weva. As examples of some of the pitfalls found in translations of earlier works, Walter Giffard’s epithet de Barbastre appears in a verse by Geoffrey Gaimar. The first of his English translators guessed that De Barbastre referred to Walter being a barber. Geoffrey's second translator thought de Barbastre was a reference somehow to Walter's cousin, William the Conqueror, being a bastard. In fact, 'Walter de Barbastre' was an honorific gained at the successful siege of Barbastro in Aragon, near Saragossa. See: Archer, 'Giffard of Barbastre', EHR, 18, 70 (1903), pp. 304-05; Lomax, 'The First English Pilgrims ot Santiago de Compostela', Studies in Medieval History: Presented to R.H.C.Davis Ed.

So Mrs. Hugh McQuaig came to me again with a sad lonely heart and asked me if I could write some verses for her baby boy, so by the help of my Heavenly Father I wrote the following. In Loving Memory of Vernon Cecil Infant child of Mr. And Mrs. Hugh McQuaig, Hulbert, Ont., aged three months, died Sept. 1st, 1905. I We have not lost our little babe, He’s only crossed the tidal wave, He’s only gone to swell the band, In that holy happy land. II He’s just across the other shore, With hands outstretched, He beckons us o’er, Where many friends have gone before. III Our little babe so sweet and fair Has gone to dwell with the angels there, He wears a robe of purest white, And dwells in God’s everlasting light. IV Our little babe stands at the gate To welcome father, there he waits, And brothers too, babe speaks to you. Make ready now to join our crew. V My grandma dear, just look up here, And see this band at God’s right hand. Here’s a mansion too, all ready for you, And a palm, and a robe, and a crown. VI Our little babe has crossed the sea, And calls out mother! come to me, I’m watching here, both early and late, To welcome you through the pearly gate. We have a lamb from sorry free, Safe, gentle Shepherd, safe with Thee, A little pledge in mercy given, So guide our steps the way to heaven.

| 2637 | From Maria Grant MCQuaig n the year 1905 Robert McQuaig’s wife took ill and died of tuberculosus. Her sister Mrs. Hugh McQuaig asked me to write some verses in memory of Mrs. Robert and I told her I would if God gave me some to write, but that I could not do it of my self; so I went home and prayed to God to give me some verses as a memoriam, well I prayed several times and still the verses were not given, but I continued to ask for them and one Sunday morning I was not very well, not able to go to church and either Wesley or his father stayed with me and when evening came I told them both to go, that I could stay alone and when they started I got my Bible and Hymn book and sat down by the table. I told them before they started away that I’d have church of my own. So when I sat down with my Bible and Hymn book, before I had opened either of them my Heavenly Father gave me the following. Obituary In loving memory of Sarah Gallagher, beloved wife of Robert B. McQuaig, Winchester, Ont., aged 44 years, 4 months, 15 days, died August 24th 1905. The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. F.Tripp, who preached a very appropriate sermon from the words, :”Death is swallowed up in victory” I Cor.XV,54. Deceased was a very devoted wife, an affectionate tender mother and a kind obliging neighbor. She was a writer of both prose and poetry, also …….artist. She leaves a husband, two sons, one brother and sister and mother to mourn, but not as those who have no hope for Mrs. McQuaig was converted at a revival in the Methodist Church at Hulbert, conducted by the Revs. A.A.Smith and McAdoo in the year 1880, and continued faithful to God until death. I My husband dear could you but see, I’m from all care and sorrow free, You would not grieve nor shed a tear, But long to cross and come up here. II My dear companion I’m not dead, I’m living here with Christ my head My body sleeps beneath the clay My soul’s alive through endless day. III You teach the boys as God commands, And gently lead them by the hand. There tender heart will need a guide To lead them to the Saviour’s side. IV This is the time, do not delay, But hasten while ‘tis called to-day, And lead them to the Saviour’s breast ‘Tis there they’ll find eternal rest. V While sheltered there beneath his care He will protect from every snare, Will guide their youthful steps aright, And bring them here to endless light. VI The light is from the household gone My voice forever more is still, A place is vacant in your hearts Which God alone can fill. VII My life on earth is past, my work is done, Freed from its clay my spirit flies To inherit the mansion in the skies Prepared by God’s own son.

| 2639 | From Medieval Lands: RICHARD (-[30 Oct/28 Nov] 1217, bur Clare). Robert of Torigny records the death in 1173 of "Rogerius comes de Clara" and the succession of "Ricardus filius eius"[870]. He succeeded his father as Earl of Hertford. He sided with the Barons against King John, and played a leading part in the negotiations for Magna Carta. The Chronica de Fundatoribus et Fundatione of Tewkesbury Abbey records the death in 1206 of “Ricardo de Clare” and his burial “apud Clare”[871]. m ([1180], divorced before 1200) AMICE of Gloucester, daughter of WILLIAM FitzRobert Earl of Gloucester & his wife Hawise de Beaumont (-1 Jan 1225). An anonymous continuation of the Chronicle of Robert of Mont-Saint-Michel records (in order) "Comitissa Ebroicensis…uxor Guillelmi Comitis de Clara, tertia…in manu Dei et domini Regis" as the three daughters left by "Guillelmus Comes Glocestriæ" when he died[872]. The Chronica de Fundatoribus et Fundatione of Tewkesbury Abbey names “Mabiliam comiti de Evereis in Normannia nuptam…Amiciam…Isabellam” as the three daughters of “comes Willielmus” and his wife, adding that Amice married “domino Richardo de Clare comiti de Hertford”[873]. Benedict of Peterborough records "uxori comitis de Clara" as "Willelmus filius Roberti filii regis Henrici primi comes Gloucestriæ…filiam ipsius comitis"[874]. Robert of Torigny records the death in 1173 of "Rogerius comes de Clara" and the succession of "Ricardus filius eius", recording that the latter was married to "filiam Guillermi comitis Gloecestriæ"[875]. In another passage, Robert of Torigny records the death in 1183 of "Guillermus comes Gloecestriæ" leaving three daughters as his heirs, of whom one (mentioned second) was "uxor Guillermi comitis de Clara"[876]. She was recognised as Ctss of Gloucester in her own right after [1210], following the death of her nephew Amaury [VI] de Montfort Comte d’Evreux. Richard & his wife had three children: a) GILBERT de Clare ([1180]-1230). The Chronica de Fundatoribus et Fundatione of Tewkesbury Abbey names “Gilberto” as son of “Amiciam, Ricardo de Clare nuptam” and his succession as Earl of Gloucester[877]. He succeeded his father as Earl of Hertford, and his mother as Earl of Gloucester. - EARLS of GLOUCESTER. b) RICHARD de Clare (-killed London 4 May 1228). The Annals of Tewkesbury record the death in 1228 of “Ricardus de Clare frater ¨Gileberto de Clare comiti Glocestriæ]” killed “apud Lundoniam die Ascensionis”[878]. c) MATILDA [Joan] de Clare ([1185/90]-). The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales records that "Rhys the Hoarse married the daughter of the earl of Clare" in 1219[879]. Her supposed first marriage is referred to in numerous secondary sources but the primary source on which it is based has not been identified. William de Briouse’s wife is named Matilda in primary sources. However another possibility for her identity has been proposed: according to Elwes (who cites no primary source), she was “the daughter of Ralph and sister and coheir of John de Fay”, adding that “after her first husband Wm de Braose’s death in 1210, [she] married Roger de Clere”[880]. The question is discussed in detail under BRIOUSE. [m firstly WILLIAM de Briouse, son of WILLIAM de Briouse & his wife Mathilde de Saint-Valéry Dame de la Haie (-Corfe 1210).] m [secondly] (1219) as his second wife, RHYS ap Rhys "Gryg/the Hoarse", son of RHYS ap Gruffydd & his wife Gwenllian of Powys (-Llandeilo 1234, bur St David’s).

| 2642 | From Nürnberger Künstlerlexikon: Bildende Künstler, Kunsthandwerker, ... https://books.google.com/books?isbn=3110912961 Grunhofer, Christoph, tradesman, benefactor, died between 21 Sept. and 14 Dec. 1519 in Nuremberg. Married Ursula ( died June 1527 ), daughter of Hans Schlüsselfelder II. Since 1486 provable. 1501-19 named. In 1497, he donated to the St Sebaldus Church [ across the Albrecht-Dürer-Platz from the Old City Hall ] a vestment of blue damask with gold stars, which was provided with the escutcheons of the Grunters and the Schüsselfelders. Around 1500, his property was estimated by Christoph Scheurl at 1000 florins. He owned the property at Heugäßchen [ “Hay Alley”, 355 yards east of St Sebaldus Church ] 6 in 1492, the same year he bought the house at Heugäßchen 12. In 1509 he bought the house at Heugäßchen 9. In 1501 he bought the manor of Hummelstein [ now a neighborhood on the south side of Nuremberg, 1.6 miles southeast of St Sebaldus Church ]. In 1509 he appeared in the final statement on the printing of the Schedelschen Weltchronik [ Schedel's Chronicle of the World ], which he had probably co-financed. Lit.: Roth. 1802; Hampe, 1928, p. 193; Zahn, 1991, p. 188; Kohn, NHb Sebald. From Wilbur Hanson Kalb It was the publication of the Nuremberg Chronicle. Published in 1493, it was an instant bestseller in both Latin and German, not just in Germany but all over Europe. Only the Holy Bible sold better. The scholars and the Church knew the Nuremberg Chronicle by its Latin title, Liber Chronicarum [ Book of Chronicles ] but everybody else, including Christoph Grunhofer, knew it by its German title, Der Schedelschen Weltchronik. Grunhofer might have thought that he was making money from a sure thing but the 1509 summary showed that 539 Latin editions and 60 German editions were still left in stock. Perhaps the prices might have been a problem — the version with black-and-white illustrations cost three guilders but the one with hand-colored illustrations cost six guilders. But Grunhofer shouldn’t feel disappointed. That book was still, as the late Ed Sullivan might say, a “really big deal” and Grunhofer will forever be in the books in all languages about the Nuremberg Chronicle so he really did get his money’s worth after all. You can read more about the Nuremberg Chronicle at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Chronicle and its author, Dr Hartmann Schedel ( 1440 - 1514 ), at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartmann_Schedel. The illustrators were Michael Wohlgemut and his step-son, Wilhelm Pleydenwurff, with assistance from Albrecht Dürer and possibly the Rosenthaler Brothers. Here’s an example of their labors from the book, a traveler’s view of Nuremberg, with St Sebaldus’s Church identified. This printing is used as Christoph's portrait. http://www.herrensitze.com/hummelstein.html Hummelstein Figure location and directions Manor house, former fortified manor house Hummelstein 45 City of Nuremberg One of the better known fortified manor houses in the south of the city of Nuremberg is Hummelstein. Its formation was preceded by the fact that the council of the imperial city in 1487 the Council jur. Nikolaus Hummel on inheritance several ponds left. In May 1487, the acquirer was then allowed to "pawen a lusthewlein" to his weyer, which should receive a massive basement storey. After the death of Nikolaus Hummel in 1501, the new summer residence came to Christoph Grünhofer. Allegedly, the Weiherhaus is said to have been destroyed in 1502 in connection with the Battle of Affalterbach by troops of the Margrave Casimir. However, in the exploration of the land area ordered by the council shortly before the outbreak of the Landshut War of Succession in 1504, "the Hummels weyerhaus" was noted with no restrictions whatsoever. The seat fell in 1520 Anton Tetzel, after the widow Ursula Grünhofer was in financial trouble and had to sell. Wolf Horneck soon became the owner and in 1526 had a very extensive conversion carried out, which brought with it a significant expansion and attachment of the seat. In this measure, a outside corridor was built with four round corner towers as a punishment, provoking the Margrave to a vain suit at the Imperial Court. In 1528, the new headquarters was in the hands of Dr. Ing. Sebald Horneck, who at that time was privileged by the council with a firewood law. This message also makes it clear that the seat was not a traditional, forested property. On Horneck followed by a marriage with Ursula Horneck of Montanunternehmer Kilian Flentz as owner. He was co-owner of the mining company Flentz & Tramel, which also operated the metallurgical plant at Dutzendteich. Flentz probably died before 1550. As a widow Ursula Flentz experienced in the Second Margrave War, as the castle was burnt down on May 24, 1552. The ruin was initially not rebuilt. After the death of the widow, the destroyed property was sold by the heirs to the Nuremberg citizen and merchant Christoph Freydell / Friedell. The remains of the three-storey, tower-like main building were demolished and replaced by a building with a massive earthwork and a timber-framed upper floor, which was not built exactly in the old location. It is not certain whether the construction report from 1583, according to which Freydell's son of the same name had applied to the forestry department Timber for the "projecting speeches half to Hummelstein", refers to this building or outbuilding. The younger Freydell died in early 1591 leaving behind underage children. Their guardians Hummelstein sold in March 1593 to the robe dealer Melchior Büttel. Apparently, the new building under the previous owner was not just high-quality, because around 1607 he was already considerably dilapidated and for Büttels claims too small. After the originally planned extension of the forestry office had been prohibited, Büttel wanted 1607 still satisfied with an expansion of the roof and the renovation of the stables and the gardener's apartment. In 1613 he decided then but to demolish the mansion and a three-storey new building on the bottom of the 1552 destroyed castle. However, the imperial city wanted to enforce a restriction to a two-storey construction, as the second floor of the destroyed predecessor allegedly consisted only of a gun ground, were placed on the four cannons. The death of Büttel in 1614 and the outbreak of the 30-year war prevented further measures, which had also been pursued for a time by the community of heirs. She then agreed to a transfer to co-heir Veit Christoph Büttel, who emigrated to 1625 to Amsterdam. Büttel's brother-in-law, the Princely Brandenburg Councilor Christoph Agricola, married to Anna Sabina Büttel, acquired the seat as curator of his two underage daughters. Agricola wanted 1639 expand the stables in the forecourt. He did not stick to building regulations and argued for many years with the forest office and the council of the imperial city. The authorities also accused him of operating unauthorized cookers and transferring landmarks. Probably by marriage with Anna Maria Agricola Georg Waldmann arrived from Neustadt / Aisch to the property, which is said to have sold him, meanwhile considerably dilapidated, before 1683 to the council clerk Johann Wöhrlein. In 1691, Dr. med. Michael Friedrich Lochner the degenerate Ansitz. Lochner was a well-known naturalist, was one of the Nuremberg scholar circle around Johann Christoph Volkamer and later became director of the Leopoldina, the Imperial Academy of Sciences in Vienna. In Hummelstein, the scientist first created an artful bitter orange and lemon garden, which included the construction of an orangery for wintering the plants. On this occasion, it was first known that the Swedes in 1632 had created a hill in the castle garden, which has now been eliminated. After Dr. Lochner 1703 had built a new horse stable, he requested in 1706 the new building of the manor, whose dilapidation allegedly no longer allowed a safe dwelling. In the end, the new building was transformed into an extensive conversion and extension. 1710 was followed by a major renovation of the economy building and 1720 the Voithaus. With the death of the builder in 1720 Hummelstein fell to the daughter Anna Maria, with the doctor. Christoph Ludwig Goeckel was married. From this marriage, four sons emerged, who inherited in 1759, but apparently did not even leave male heirs. The widow of Dr. jur. Heinrich Lorenz Goeckel sold the estate in 1774 to the deacon of St. Lawrence Hieronymus Conrad Wagner. The new owner had to endure in 1814 the seizure of the castle by the imperial Russian army. The military set up a powder and cartridge factory in the manor, causing great damage to the equipment. Even the ornate fountain in the garden should have been destroyed on this occasion. After Wagner's death in 1820 had the daughter Carolina Maria, widowed Balbach, the manor until 1855. The Rostock Consul Paul Howitz acquired him and let the mansion by Karl Alexander Heideloff neo-Gothic redesign. According to plans of the master builder, the historicist chapel was also built in the garden, where Howitz was buried in 1880. The Heirs community Howitz sold the manor in 1895 to the city of Nuremberg, in 1925 at the castle create a school garden. In the bombing nights of the Second World War, the main building was only partially damaged, but the chapel was destroyed in 1944. Today, the city maintains an environmental education center in the mansion. | Grünhofer, Christoph (I26898)

| 2648 | From Rosl Reuter: I discovered a "Joachim Mörlin from Coburg" who started a school career in Pforta on the 24.10.1573. At that time, one of the most well-founded schools in Protestant-German-speaking countries was prepared in preparation for the university in this princely school. Only very gifted boys were allowed to attend this school-free (!). Presumably, this Joachim is identical to the 1559 born Johann. A school start in Pforta at the age of 14 years could just fit. Otherwise only a son born before 1555 would be considered. But at least a 19-year-old would have visited the university. How much hope may the father have associated with these boys! But these do not seem to have been fulfilled. In contrast to other students, the Pforta educational institution did not write down anything about his future life in a later commemorative publication - so he did not gain any importance, nor did he become a pastor. | Mörlin, Joachim (I272)

She was the oldest of 6 children. She had 4 brothers and 1 sister. The Meistrell family lived in Missouri for a few years, but later lived in the Davey and Emerald area in Lancaster County. She attended school in Emerald. She became the bride of Eugene S. Sullivan in May, 1914 and moved to the Sullivan family farm where she spent her entire married life. This farm, located southeast of Denton on Section 25, Lancaster County, was part of the original Sullivan Settlement, Nebr. In the late 1970's the Eugene Sullivan Farmstead was chosen to receive the Nebraska Pioneer Farm Award from the Knights of AK-SAR-BEN in recognition of the farm being in the same family for 100 years. Laura and Gene celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with a special Mass and dinner at St Mary's Catholic Church in Denton in 1964. Laura was an active member of the Altar Society all her life."

| 2650 | From Shirley Douglas: Obituary from the Lincoln Nebraska Newspaper in 1925: "CHILD KILLED BY AUTOMOBILE" . "Bertha Sullivan, 3, Victim of Accident At Home Near Denton." "Bertha Sullivan, 3 year old daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Eugene Sullivan of Denton, died at St Elizabeth's Hospital late Monday afternoon from injuries received when she was run over by an automobile at her home earlier in the afternoon. She was playing in the yard back of the car, which had no occupants, when the automobile started to roll backwards toward the child. The child was caught under the wheels as it ran down the slope. The motor was not running, it was stated. The girl was rushed to Lincoln in a car, but died here at 6 o'clock. Death probably resulted from internal injuries, it is thought. She is survived by her parents, three sisters and a brother. The body is being held at Splain and Schnell's chapel pending funeral arrangements. Funeral services will be held at St Mary's Catholic Church in Denton at 9 A.M., Wednesday. Rev. Corcoran will have charge. Burial in Calvary Cemetery. The body is being held at the home." | Sullivan, Bertha (I9109)
