23. Sarah F Bruner, born 07 Oct 1867 in Florida; died 02 Dec 1929 in Texas. She was the daughter of 46. Daniel Bruner and 47. Elizabeth Johns.
Notes for William Dempsey/Dempson Ledbetter:
Have date born as November 20, 1846 yet there is one Census says May 1854 and all the other birthdates have been the same on those as others, another says abt. 1861, another says 1848, and yet another says 1848-1849, so it is veery confusing as to when he was actually born. After looking at actual copy of death Certificate it days say birthdate is 11/20/1846 so I will use that date. 1846 would make him 19 years older than Sallie. Was he this much older? I wish I knew so I could track him down before 1881 when he gets married to Sallie.

**************************************************
SALT SPRING VALLEY SCHOOL
(Also known as Felix) 1860
A school was built in the late 1860's in this valley by ranchers Tower and Bisbee. Their ranch, sometimes known as The White House Ranch, also served as a stage and teamster stop on the Milton-Angels road. The schoolhouse was located near the center of Salt Spring Valley, overlooking the reservoir, so as to be convenient to the various ranch families then living in the valley. Mrs. Jacob Tower, (Mary L. Howard), who had come around the Horn in 1863 from Ann Arbor, Michigan, organized parties and dances to raise money for books and furniture for the new school.
When the Salt Spring Valley School District was formally organized in 1869, and the new schoolhouse erected four years later, the old Tower and Bisbee school building was moved to the ranch headquarters at Felix to serve as the post office. There it still stands, the oldest building in the valley other than certain farm structures. The school was closed in 1947 and the district was combined with Copperopolis, Jenny Lind, and Milton two years later. The schoolhouse, however, has been preserved by former students.
Teachers were from 1899-1912: Agnes Foster (Mrs. Willard Tower), Jessie Gourley, Mabel Wilson, Kate Bund, L. Platt, Agnes Gregg, V. Parkhurst, and Rebecca Gardner.

William C. Hall's wife Mary Copeland Daniels made a deposition in Tishomingo, Indian Territory October 8, 1889 that she was the widow of William Hall deceased and that she was the mother of William M. Hall, L.C. Hall and Mary P. White, legal heirs of William Hall a Choctaw Indian by blood and lived in the Choctaw Nation. Records for the three Hall children are:
William M. Hall
1900 Choctaw Nation Census, ED 113, Sheet no. 8 showing daughter, Carrie age 10 years born in Indian Territory. Son, age 14 born in Texas, making this family move from Texas into Indian Territory between 1886 and 1890.

From these records it appears that Louis C. Hall was the first into Indian Territory by 1885 when he had a son born there. William M. Hall was next to arrive having a daughter born in 1890, however Mary P. White was also shown in the 1890 Chickasaw Nation Census.

Notes for Larkin John DeWitt:
Larkin J. Dewitt 10-16-1853 / 9-12-1928. Census says he was from Missouri. This Larkin is buried in Maguire-Fairview cemetery in Cleveland Co. Ok. His wife Emma is buried beside him. His first child was born in Texas the the next 3 children were born in "Indian Territory" so they must have been in Ok. before it was a state. Also my sister-in-law just discovered a daguerreotype of him in her mothers belongings. Her mother died 2 weeks ago so all this is new to us. She also found a photo of Emma Hawkins his wife. Other than the fact that they lived in Noble and what was on the 1900 census I have no other information so seeing your information was truly exciting. I hope we have a match here.

LOWER HOPE or BADGER CEMETERY, EDDY COUNTY, NEW MEXICO
Records extracted by Shary Bullock
Typing by Shary Bullock Feb 2000
Submitted by Shary Bullock Feb 2000
This cemetery is located on S.E. of Hope, NM.
On the East side of Hope turn off Hwy. US-285 on County Rd.#6 (Hayride Rd.). Go 1/2
mile then turn South on Coounty Rd.#7 and go South 1.8 miles. Turn East on County Rd.#9
for just 1/10 mile. The gate to the cemetery will be on the South. The cemetery can
be seen as you proceed South down a lane shaded by pecan trees. Be sure to close the
gates. This is private land. The GPS Coordinates are 32 degrees 46 min. 53 sec. North
X 104 degrees 43 min. 9 sec. West. Rate of error is 42 ft. The altitude is approx
3900 ft.
The first settlement in this area was called Badgerville or Badger. It was settled
in about 1886 on the bank of the Penasco River. The town eventually moved to
higher ground to the North and West, and the name was later changed to Hope. This
is the oldest cemetery in the area. There are many realy old and unusual markers,
the earliest being 1892. We found one Confederate Soldier's grave and one
of an 1847 Mexican War veteran and one of the Texas Frontier Force. There are 56 known
graves that are not marked. I did a walk-through of this cemetery in Feb.2000. I also
used the earlier records of Chester Walkup, 1979 and Fern McCabe Wilson,1986 as reference.

Re: Calloway County Marriages.
After searching on the Web site for KYGenWeb Calloway County (www.USGenWeb.com), I sent an inquiry by e-mail to the person who maintains it - Bill Utterback at: [email protected]. He replied that there are only 2 marriage records for John Copeland in the 1827-1830 time frame.
1- John Copeland (legal age) & Sally Irvan (consent of father by certificate - not named)
License 5 January 1828, married 10 January 1828 by Morgan Williams, MG.
2- John Copeland (legal age) & Sally Duncan (legal age). License 27 January 1831, married 9 Jan. 1831 by John Irvan, JP. (There is no explanation why the marriage date is before the license date. . ??)
Maybe the marriage date is February ?????
(I WONDER IF BOTH MARRIAGES ARE FOR 'OUR' JOHN COPELAND ???)
UPDATE: September 2001
Contact made, and information received from Carol Ann Walker Hibbert, a descendant of John Irvan, clarifies these marriages. Both John Copelands are the same person. Sally Irvan died @1830 and John, a widow, (with one child, Martha) married Sally Duncan in 1831.
Carol also furnished a report "Descendants of John Irvan" through 6 generations.

I believe that John and Absalom II, b. 1812, were cousins, and that they came to Hunt County, Texas, probably together, to obtain land grants. Hunt County land records show both names as having received grants. (Lillian Johnson Underwood)

Notes for Elisha B. Jennings:
Assumption: I am assuming that E.B., Rhoda, and Lucinda Jennings are all siblings. E.B.'s wife Rebecca is the sister of Mary (mother of Louis) married to William C. Hall. Lucinda is the mother of Nancy DeWitt and E.B.'s sister this would show how Nancy and Louis may have met in Oklahoma and later married. Children of Lucinda and John, Rhoda and Thomas, E.B. and Rebecca tend to have similar names.
Assumption Proven on May 21, 2004 - Found Thomas and Rhoda living in Cooper, Missouri next door to Mary Jennings, Elisha Jennings (born 1830), and Lucinda Jane (born 1837) in the 1850 census records.

68. Larkin DeWitt, born 05 Sep 1794 in Near Salisbury,Herkimer Co.,New York; died 03 Sep 1873 in Cooper County, Missouri. He was the son of 136. Benjamin DeWitt and 137. Molly Larkin. He married 69. Hannah Potter 20 Jul 1820 in Booneville, Cooper County, Missouri.
69. Hannah Potter, born 20 May 1801 in Kentucky; died 20 Jun 1837 in Cooper County, Missouri. She was the daughter of 138. George Bher Potter and 139. Hannah Fitzhugh.
Notes for Larkin DeWitt:
Larkin DeWitt served in the war of 1812 and was released from the army in St. Louis, MO. (Gary Farley)
War of 1812 Pensions
(from National Archives files in Washington DC)
Pensions for War of 1812 established in 1836
DeWitt, Larkin - Capt. Ramsey's Co. Regt. from 18 Sep 1812 to 17 Sep 1817 - 1871 - in Cooper Co. Missouri md. Priscilla Casteel 12 Jul 1840 - Cooper Co. Missouri (she died 19 May 1887) Larkin died 3 Sep 1873 - Pettis Co. Missouri
Larkin DeWitt, son of Benjamin DeWitt, the immigrant, was botn in the colony of New York, September 5, 1794, and was left an orphan at 8 years of age. During the War of 1812 he enlisted at Sacckett's Harbor, New York, September 18, 1812, for a term of 5 years and served as a private, U.S. Rifles, Captain William Smith's Company and was discharged September 17 or 18, 1817, at Bell Fontaine, Missouri, by reason of expiration of Service. (National Archives, Washington, D.C.) Larkin DeWitt served under Colonel Forsyth at the battle of the Thames in which battle the Indian Chief Tecumseh, who was fighting fro the British slipped up and killed Colonel Forsyth by lying in wait and catching him between Canada and the Tavern. In the Battle of the Thames, Chief Tecumseh was mortally wounded. Larkin DeWitt was the first man to the Chief and was preparing to scalp him when Tecumseh said, "Young man, please don't scalp me". Larkin DeWitt then took Tecumseh's sword, pistol, and watch to Tecumseh's widow and gave the sword and pistol to his commanding officer.
Once while on guard duty during the War of 1812, Larkin DeWitt was looking toward a wheat field and noticed a sprout growing in the wheat. He turned his head and when looked again the sprout had moved. Knowing Indian customs, this attracted his attention and he watched the sprout and an Indian jumped out and fell dead. The sprout was a signal to the rest of the Indians who were approaching.
After the expiration of his term of service and discharge at belle Fontaine, Missouri, Larkin DeWitt made his way up the Missour River to Boonville and took charge of a farm in Cooper County as an overseer in 1820. After working there for awhile he married Hannah Potter (Ewing) a widow on July 20, 1820.
Larkin DeWitt went to Green County, Missouri, and settled on the Little Sac about 1832. John Ross, William Ross and R. Ross went with him and werer early settlers in Campbell Township, which comprised teh greater portion of Green County. He later returned to Cooper County where he lived the remainder of his life and died there September 3, 1873 and is buried in the Potter Cemetery in Cooper County not far from Clifton City, Missouri.
One time when Larkin DeWitt was walking along the main street in Boonville, Missouri he saw a man approaching who was his sworn enemy. he saw that this man was armed and as he was unarmed himself and knowing that the man would attempt to kill him, he stepped into a store and borrowed a horse pistol and went out to meethim. When they were within firing range the other man attempted to draw and Larkin DeWitt being the faster drew and fired, shooting the pistol out of the other man's hand and breaking his hip. This ended the feud.
The first settlers of Franklin Townshipo like those of other parts of Green County had to go to St. Louis and Boonville for their supplies. Sometimes the journey was made with Ox teams andd the trip occupied a month. Sometime in 1831, James K Alsop, Samuel Scroggis, and Daniel Johnson settled on the Little Sac, and were followed in 1832 by John Headlee and two brothers-in law, Benjamin Johnson and James Dryden.
In the same year came Thomas P. Whitlock, the father of W.P. Whitlock. he arrived in June, from Harkeman County, Tennessee, and settline in what is now Franklin Township, in the north part of the county. He brought with him a wife and son. Zachariah Simms, Benjamin Johnson, Henry Morrison, David and John Roper, Drury Upshaw, and Larkin DeWitt, all settled about the same time in that part of the country.
Larkin DeWitt, John Ross, William Ross, and R. Ross were early settlers of the section of the country now comprising the great portion of Green County-then called Campbell Township.
All of the above is from the book "Bennett-DeWitt and related families" by Paul Bennett.
According to records on Pettis County, Missouri Larkin was only a second generation in United States and was of Dutch descent, however, family has been traced back to early 1600's in United States originating in France and that Larkin's father Benjamin changed name from Witt to DeWitt. Per our family Nancy DeWitt granddaughter of Larkin was Indian. Her children were born on the reservation and went to Indian schools. Per the National Archives in Washington (as stated in the Bennett-DeWitt Family book by Paul Bennett) it stated in the Civil War Military records for Larkin's sons Ezra and Martin that they had Black eyes and Black hair and dark complexion. Martin was 5'6" and Ezra was 5'5". Most of Larkin's children married into Anglo families. I feel that the Jennings family and the Copeland family were indian. This caused the families to move into Oklahoma onto the reservations.

Notes for Rev. Elijah Newton Farley:
Elijah Newton Farley was a farmer and a pioneer Baptist Minister. He is listed in the census of Johnson Co., MO of 1850 as a farmer and in the 1860 census for the same county as minister. He served briefly in the Union Army in the War between the States. He was in Co "B", 27th MO infantry Union Army. He was in the battle of Lexington in LaFayette Co. in the late summer--early fall of 1861. He and his company including his oldest son, John Thomas Farley, were captured. Elijah contracted pneumonia and never fully healed and died at his home in October 1863 when he was 45 years old. Elijah was buried near the house. Mary, his wife,
was pregnant with their daughter, Susan. Elijah never saw his only daughter. The old homestead, located 5 mi. south of Knob Nobster State Park, eventually was sold to a Mr. Ellis and became a cemetery and a pasture field for cattle. During the following years of the Civil War whenever the rebel soldiers came by the house Mary would take the children and go down in the holler that wasn't far from the house and hide until the soldiers left. For the next 18 years Mary became a woman of substance. She raised the children and worked the farm. After 1870 she moved to Pettis County where she opened a general store and farmed.

[ElijahNewtonandMaryPolly(DeWitt)Farleyandchildren.FTW]
A great many thanks to Gary Farley for sharing the following lineage notes on the Pettis county, Missouri web site. <sites.rootsweb.com/~mopettis/lineages/>
He was born in Tennessee in 1818. He moved with his family to Missouri in 1833. He married in 1842, Mary (Polly) DeWitt, a neighbor, three years his junior. Her father was Larkin DeWitt. He was a native of New York State, of Dutch descent.
He fought in the War of 1812 and was released from the army in St. Louis. In BENNETT-DEWETT AND RELATED FAMILIES it is reported that he fought the Shawnee Indian chief, Tecumseh, in Canada and was present when he died. Larkin married Hannah Potter DeWitt Ewing, a widow with one child. Their vows were heard by Rev. Finis Ewing, probably some kin to her first husband. The Potters and Ewings were early settlers in Cooper County. Finis Ewing was one of the founders of the Cumberland Presbyterian denomination. He took some land in the area and formed a "preacher" school to train ministers in the village of New Lebanon. Later Finis moved on to Lexington, Mo., where he managed the land office for the U.S. government and pastored the First Cumberland Presbyterian congregation. (A fine old Presbyterian church house still stands in New Lebanon. After bearing 7 additional children for Larkin DeWitt she died in 1837 at age 39. He remarried to a Casteel (Castile) woman, probably a Farley cousin, and she bore an additional 9 children. They lived for a while in the Springfield, Mo., area as one of the earlier settlers. Later he moved back to Cooper County. Among the children of Larkin and Hannah was Mary. (Among her kin were several Potters and DeWitts who participated in the 1849 Gold Rush.)
The 1850 census finds Elijah and Polly on a small farm in Johnson County, about 5 miles south of the village of Montserrat. It was near the Clear Fork of the Blackwater River. A trail from Boonville to Fort Scott, Kans., passed through the community. It was later to be known as the Sedalia Trail and was to become in the years after the Civil War one of the early cattle trails. (Recall the Rawhide TV show in the early 1960s with Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates.)
In the 1860 census Elijah is listed as a farmer and minister. The form says Methodist, but this must be wrong. He is listed in the 1860 minutes of the Blue River Baptist Association as a licensed minister (not ordained) along with John
DeWitt, who is probably his brother-in-law. They were members of the Clear Fork Baptist Church. Like many other congregations on the Western frontier it did not survive the Civil War. And its records seem to have been lost. (Well after the war the area became active as a coal mining region and two new Baptist congregations are to be found. In the 1920s they merge to become Pleasant Bethel. Francis Marion Farley, a son, was an important lay leader there.) I have found several marriage licenses in county records where Elijah was the one who signed the bonds as minister. I do not know if he pastored a church, but at the very least, he performed pastoral duties. Many Baptist churches of that era had multiple "elders." The biographical information on Mary DeWitt Farley's brother, John, does not mention his having been a minister. He was among the early settlers in Oklahoma territory. His trade is listed as being a blacksmith.
Elijah and Polly had 10 children, 9 boys and one daughter. By all accounts the war in Western Missouri was terrible for non-combatants. Bushwhacking was widespread. No one was safe. Elijah and his two oldest sons served. (Why would a 43-year-old minister with 9 children be among the first volunteers to join the Union home guard?) Son Will contacted Rubeola at the Jefferson barracks at St. Louis and died. Son John T. served with the Company B of the Missouri 27 Mtd. (This is the same unit in which Elijah served.) Elijah was involved in the Battle of Lexington, an early scrap (September 20, 1861). He was taken prisoner. While in the custody of the Confederates, or while making his way back home, he became ill with consumption. Later he escaped or was paroled. At home he was able to father his 10th child, but died in 1863 a few months before she was born. He was buried on his home place. The graveyard has since become known as the Ellis cemetery and can be reached off of country route Y. I did not find his stone there, but his name is listed in an census of the cemetery in the Johnson County historical library. The library is next to the old Johnson County Courthouse, a building that dates from the days of E. N. Farley. (There is a request for a Civil War widow's pension which reports most of the above.) A family story tells of General Sterling Price's army marching along the Sedalia Trail. When they ask about the whereabouts of Elijah, and old Black man, Sam, tells a lie and saves Elijah's life.
Following the war Polly apparently moved most of her children to a village of Lookout, along the Pettis/Cooper county line. This is an area where her DeWitt and Potter kinspeople are heavily present. She ran a store at Lookout. (That settlement is now gone. The store location is a hole in the field. The village also boasted a post office. Nearby are the ruins of the school house. Granddaughter, Myrtle, once taught there.) I wonder what Mary's life was like. Left a widow and pregnant. In a dangerous time and place. How did the family make it through? I have heard that she was red-headed and strong willed.
I came across an interesting document in the Pettis County marriage book from the early 1880s. Polly DeWitt Farley contracted to marry William Kabler. In essence the document allows each to pass the property they will bring to the marriage on to their children. I found the marriage license. And I have seen the documents where she is referred to as Mrs. Kabler. But her gravestone in the Potter-DeWitt cemetery does not mention Kabler. Had she already had the stone made? Did her heirs not recognize the marriage? Did it not last? She died in 1891. Another interesting note is that in the 1880 census record she has some of her grandchildren living with her. I believe that a little later this was also the case for the first three children of Daniel Lee Farley. A further story concerning her is that she provided a 40-acre farm for each of her children. I have some verification for this in a deed from her to Daniel Lee for just such a place
near Lookout, signed Mrs. Mary Kabler.
Let me list the children John (Barnhart and McMullin), Francis Marion (Roark), Jasper Newton (White and Black), Larkin Dewitt (Berry), Daniel (Aikens, Lee, and Ross), George Washington (Bowles), James Henry (Davidson and Frost), Andrew Jackson
(Lee and Wasson/Henderson), Susan Hannah (Farris). The descendants of the children of Elijah are many. We have many of them listed. They were born in the last quarter of the 19th and the first of the 20th centuries. Most lived in and around Sedalia, Missouri. This was the age of the railroad, and Sedalia was a rail center with shops for the MKT and the MoPac. Many of the descendants of Elijah Newton and Polly Dewitt Farley moved from subsistance farming to modern agriculture or to working for the railroad.
Ken Farley, 8464 W. 66th Circle, Arvada, Co. 80004, has developed the list of descendants with the addresses and some information about many of them.

Notes for Benjamin Franklin DeWitt:
Benjamin Franklin DeWitt, was born on a farm in Cooper County, Missouri, October 2, 1830. In 1849 whenhe was 19 years of age, he and his two brothers, Thomas P. DeWitt and John P. DeWitt (my ancestor) together with Abraham Potter and Thomas Pindar Potter left Cooper county on foot headed fo California and the gold fields. He had only $2.50 in money, his rifle, and some ammunition when he left home. They left in the spring of 1849 and walked barefoot, carrying their boots so that they would have them to wear in the mountains. The first day they walked to William Potter's place near Warrensburg where they spent the night and the next morning left for Independence, Missouri, where their trail crosed the Santa Fe Trail. Here they separated and Thomas P DeWitt and John P DeWitt took the Santa Fe Trail. Benjamin with Abraham and Thomas Pindar Potter took the overland or Oregon Trail and tramped up the trail to Tecumseh Nebraska and followed the North Platte River to Fort Laramie, Nebraska which is now in Wyoming. On the way, Thomas pindar Potter took sick with the cholera. They had to camp a few days' however, they could not wait long and they decidedone night that if he wasn't better by morning they would leave him some water and provisions and go on. By morning he was much better and accompanied them on to California and returned home with them. On their way they saw grizzly bears in the mountains but as they were inexperieced and knew that they were very hard to kill, they did not shoot at them. At Fort Laramie, Wyoming, which was then Nebraska they spent the winter of 1849-1850. In the spring they resumed their journey by way of the Overland Trail. Once while riding a mule through the mountains at night, he heard an Indian warwhoop up a canon which was answered by an Indian from down in the canyon. Fearing the mule might bray and give awy his location, he got off the mule and knocked him in the head and proceeded on foot. At Fort Laramie he hired to the Government and drove 6 oxen and hauled a wagon loaded with barrels of whiskey to San Francisco. He crossed the great salt desert on foot and paid $0.50 a pint for water to drink from a man who was taking water out on the desert and selling it to those who were crossing. On the trip to California after they had joined the wagon train at Fort Laramie, one fellow boasted that he was going to kill the first Indian that he saw. They tried to persuade him not to start any trouble unless they were attacked, but he would not listen to them. The first Indian that he saw was a squaw and in spite of their warnings, the man killed the squaw. That evening the Indians surrounded their camp and demanded they turn over to them the man who had killed th esquaw and they would not harm the rest of them. In order to prevent a fight, they trned the man over to the Indians who took him a short distance aside and in full view of those in camp they skinned him alive with their skinning knives and the man soon died. After many hardships Benjamin Franklin DeWitt and the Potter boys reached California and set up their mining camp at Rough and Ready where they mined gold until they left for home in 1855. while at their mining camp toward the end of their stay a couple of strangers set up camp near by and pretended to be prospecting for gold. However, these stranger seemed more interested in watching what he an dthe Potter boys were doing than in their own mingin operations. The strangers kept coming over to see what he and the Potter boys were doing, so one day after they had prepared buckskin bags for their gold and after sacking and hiding their gold and getting everything in readiness for their departure they went to town pretending to be restocking for another 6 week stay. The strangers followed them to town and came into the store where he and the potter boys were trading. In their presence he and the Potter boys purchased another 6 week supply of provisions and said "when we eat these up we are going where the women do the cooking as we are tired of batching". They returned to their camp and store their provisions in their shack as though they were going to stay a while longer and that night they loaded their gold and slipped away and headed for San Francisco. They carried the buckskin bags of gold under their arms suspended by straps over their shoulders with a loose out coat or duster concealing the bags. The next day about the middle of the afternoon the strangers overtook them on their way to San Francisco and attempted to rob them of their gold, but he and the Potter boys got throught to San Francisco with all of their gold and took a ship down to Panama where they purchased mules and rode across the Isthmus of Panama on mules and took a ship and sailed for New york. From there they went to Philadelphia where they had their gold minted. They returned to Cooper Coutny, Missouri.
After returning home he and the Potter boys built the Lamine Baptist Church, furnished it and secured a preacher and were regular attndants at services there. Uncle Frank and Aunt Ann as he and his wife were affectionately called, usually rode horseback to church, she riding her side saddle. They were often a little late, but th congregation would wait for them. When they saw them coming would say, "We can now have services--here comes Uncle Frank and Aunt Ann."
After returning home Benjamin Franklin DeWitt rode horseback to McDonald County, Missouri, and visited relatives. He retuned home and on March 13, 1856 married Permelia Ann Potter, sister of the Potter boys who had made the trip to the gold fields of California in 1849, at Thomas Potter's residence in the presence of a large number of young people.
AFter his marriage he began to purchase land and accumulated 17 forties. He built a large frame home which is still standing and is now owned and occupied by his grandson Elmer DeWitt and family.
While in California, flour cost $1.00 per pound and an axe cost $5.00 without the handle.
Benjamin Franklin DeWitt died testate at his home on the farm in Pettis County, Missouri, on July 3, 1917. His son Joseph A DeWitt was named executor in his Last Will and Testament and administered upon his estate. See Probate Records of Pettis County, MO 5017-178-3. Those named as surviving heirs:

Notes for Elisha B. Jennings:
Assumption: I am assuming that E.B., Rhoda, and Lucinda Jennings are all siblings. E.B.'s wife Rebecca is the sister of Mary (mother of Louis) married to William C. Hall. Lucinda is the mother of Nancy DeWitt and E.B.'s sister this would show how Nancy and Louis may have met in Oklahoma and later married. Children of Lucinda and John, Rhoda and Thomas, E.B. and Rebecca tend to have similar names.

KANSAS
(3-YEARS)
Fifth Cavalry. -- Cols., Hampton P. Johnson, Powell Clayton
Lieut.-Cols., John Ritchie, Powell Clayton, Wilton A. Jenkins,
Thomas. W. Scudder; Majs., James H. Summers, Wilton A.
Jenkins' S. E. Hoffman, Samuel Walker, Thomas W. Scudder,
Stephen R. Harrington.
This regiment was mustered into the U. S. service at Camp
Denver, near Barnesville, Dec. 31, 1861, for three years.
Prior to its regular organization and muster in on the above
date, portions of the command saw considerable active service.
Cos. A; and F formed part of the expedition to Harrisonville,
Mo., under command of Col. Weer of the 4th Kan. and upon
returning to Kansas City escorted a supply train to Fort
Scott, where Cos. B. C and E, and two infantry companies
joined them and Col. Johnson took command of the regiment.
It took part in a number of skirmishes around Fort Scott and
lost a few men wounded. In a gallant charge at Morristown,
Mo., Sept. 17, Col. Johnson fell at the head of his men,
pierced by nine bullets. Later the regiment was engaged with
Price's force at Osceola and West Point, Mo., as a part of
Lane's brigade, then joined the army under Gen. Fremont for a
time, but finally returned to Kansas and went into winter
quarters at Barnesville.
Col. Powell Clayton assumed command of the regiment in Feb.,
1862, and the organization rapidly improved in discipline and
efficiency under his able management. From April 10 to May 25
it was stationed at Springfield, Mo., and became very
proficient in drill.
The regiment was then ordered to join the Army of the
Southwest near Helena, Ark. A detachment of 150 men under
Capt. Creitz, escorting the regimental train engaged the enemy
with loss at Salem, Ark., at the crossing of the Black River
near Jacksonport, and received warm commendation from Gen.
Osterhaus for their bravery and skill in bringing the train
safely through.
The regiment remained in the vicinity of Helena until Aug.
1863, and while there was engaged in numerous expeditions,
almost daily skirmishing with the enemy's cavalry. A list of
its engagements during this period includes Trenton,
Parkersville, Oakland, Little Rock road, Mount Vernon, Polk's
plantation, and two actions at Helena.
In the battle of Helena, July 4, the 5th fought from sunrise
until 2 p. m. against Marmaduke's cavalry, finally routing it
with great loss. On Aug. 15 the regiment started for Little
Rock as a part of Gen. Steele's expedition and was engaged at
Brownsville and Little Rock.
On Sept. 14, it was ordered to Pine Bluff, fought a sharp
engagement with Marmaduke's outpost at Tulip early in October
and gained a brilliant victory. Col. Clayton had command of
the post at Pine Bluff and with his force of about 600 men
successfully defended the place against an attack by Gen.
Marmaduke with 3,000 men and 12 pieces of artillery. The loss
of the 5th was 27 killed wounded and missing.
The regiment was again engaged in Jan., 1864, with Shelby's
forces at Branchville, skirmished at Mount Elba, and late in
March participated in the engagements with the enemy under
Gen. Dockery, at Monticello, Long View and Mount Elba, which
resulted in driving the Confederates from the country between
the Mississippi and Saline rivers and the capture of several
hundred prisoners.
After the disastrous ending of Gen. Banks' Red River
expedition; Steele's army was forced to retreat and abandon
the region south of the Arkansas River. In April, 1864, a
portion of the 5th shared in the disaster at Marks' Mills,
where Steele's train was captured, the loss of the regiment
being 5 killed, 7 wounded and 44 captured.
The last important engagement of the 5th was at the Warren
cross-roads with a brigade of Texas cavalry, where it lost 1
killed, 4 wounded and 1 missing. During the remainder of its
active service the regiment was occupied in scouting,
picketing and the usual arduous duties of a cavalry regiment,
but sustained few additional losses.
A part of the regiment was mustered out in Dec., 1864, at
Leavenworth, and the rest at Devall's Bluff, Ark., in June,
1865. The services rendered by this gallant regiment were
second to none sent into the field by Kansas.
Its losses were 2 officers and 51 men, killed or mortally
wounded, 2 officers, 219 men died of disease and other causes.
It numbered 900 officers and men when it first took the field
in 1862, and had a total strength during service of 1,320.

"March 19, 1875: Father (Robert Ainsworth Mercer) age 75, departed this life about 3:15 a.m.; he had been confined to his bed for about four months and had been gradually sinking until this A.M. when he died"
"Frank started to Corpus to bring Jane (who had moved from Mobile to Corpus in 1873)...."
"Captain Heah came to the house, and helped put father in the coffin. March 20, 1875: At about 1 p.m., Captain Heath, Parry Humphreys, Tom Rattray, Captain Robert, Frank Stephenson and John Runnel wer pall-bearers. Ned read the Burial Service."
"April 30, 1876 - Frank Stephenson made some fencing for graves in Corpus. John and Ned made a box to put Father's coffin in..."
"May 1, 1876 - Frank Stepenson, his children, his father and mother, left for Corpus... John, Ned, Jake, Joe Hull and George Stephenson dug up Father's coffin (from Mustang Island!) and taken it aboard the Doaga to go to Corpus Christi. Coffin was in good state of preservation."
"May 2, 1876 - Ned and Jake buried Father and Mother side by side in the Catholic burying ground."

She felt unwell last Sunday and grew worse, sent to Rockport and got Dr. Clarke, but he said her complaint was very serious and her liver was affected, and it was doubtful whether she would get over it, which she did no. God be merciful to her poor soul! May she rest in peace.

From Lookup done by Buel Bell in Alabama:
Jacob Henry Schroebel was a shoemaker and tanner in Claiborne and was converted to the Baptist faith by Alexander Travis. He was born and married in Charleston South Carolina before he came to Claiborne, Monroe county Alabama in 1825. His father is likely John Schroebel of Charleston. Jacob came to Mobile Alabama in 1841 as a Baptist preacher and died in 1843 of yellow fever. His will, tombstone, and obituary are below. His widow Louisa A. remarried in 1848 to Mathew D. Thomason.

St. Anthony Street Baptist Church pages 16-17
At the meeting on the 11th of April, 1841, J. C. Costly, J. N. Gradick and A. B. Couch were chosen deacons. On the 30th of the month, Rev. Jacob Henry Schroebel presented his letter, and assumed the pastoral care of the church, to which he had been invited on March 7th, preceding.
On the 1st of May, the deacons elect were ordained, and the pastor installed.
From this time, for one year, and, it may be added, during the entire pastorate of Bro. Schroebel, the church received constant accessions. We find, from a report to the Association, under the date of September 2nd, 1842, that the number of members at the beginning of '41 was 175; that the church received, by baptism, during the year, 107; that the church received, by letter, during the year, 54; and that eight were restored, making a total of 344, less 45, (12 dismissed, 27 excluded, and 6 dead), leaving at the date mentioned a net membership of 299.
J. C. Borum elected deacon, March 31st, 1843.
In September, 1843, the church lost its beloved pastor, Jacob Henry Schroebel, who died of yellow fever, taken while visiting the sick; thus sacrificing his life for the good of others. At this time the church had a membership of 390. The record shows that during the time in which this brother was permitted to labor with the church, he was eminently successful in building up his Master's Kingdom. He was much beloved by the brethren, and deservedly popular in the community.
March 16, 1848 after 8 years the church disbanded.

OBITUARY
Died, on the 21st instant, of yellow fever, the Rev. Jacob Henry Schrobel, Pastor of the Baptist Church in this city. Mr. S. was born March 17th, 1801 in the city of Charleston, S.C., where he married July 10th, 1823. From Charleston, he removed to Claiborne Ala. in 1825. There he professed religion in May 1828 and became a member of the Baptist Church, of which he lived and died an exemplary member and useful minister. He was ordained a Minister of the Gospel, December 19th, 1830 and was called to the pastoral charge of the Church in Claiborne, where he then resided, and where he labored until the year 1841, when he was called to take the pastoral charge of the Baptist Church in this city. Here he labored with great zeal and usefulness until called home to his reward.
He was a man of good mind, of undying energy, and great ministerial zeal and enterprise. Faithful to his flock and vigilant in his pastoral duties, he added many to his charge.
But hoping some one whose opportunities have been better than mine, of an intimate acquaintance with his life and labors, will give a more satisfactory detail of circumstances, I shall content myself with only further stating that our brother S. as a faithful sentinel fell at his post. He remained with his Church, in the city, visiting and praying with the sick and dying, exposed to the prevailing epidemic (yellow fever) until Friday evening last when he fell sick, and retired to his summer residence on Cottage Hill - and after a few days violent sickness, expired, amidst the tears of his bereaved family and a large circle of his pastoral charge. The writer frequently visited him - and on introducing the subject of his change and prospects beyond the grave, found him calm and triumphant. Indeed it has indeed been my privilege to witness so much firmness and assurance of faith in the struggle of death as was exhibited. "Sir, said he, I have not an intervening doubt - my way is clear." He often expressed himself thus, and finally gave his dying charge to his family and the church of which he was pastor (for many of them were around his bed) and rendered up his charge as a faithful watchman. He died, as a minister of God, strong in faith, and full of immortal hope.
"Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord".
Jesse Boring
G. F. Heard was called to begin the pastorate February 14, 1836.
"At that time they had no house of worship, but met in the court house, and for a time they met in the house belonging to the African Baptist Church. The African Church is in a prosperous condition; their number is about 90."
In this city and county the colored people had more liberty and better treatment than in any other section of the State. The free people and those who hired their time often supported schools for the education of their children. Revs. Wm. Dossey, P. Stout, A. Travis, J. H. Schroebel, Mr. Hawthorne and Mr. Spence (all white) are mentioned as pioneers and fathers of the work at this point. Near this old French town, June 13, 1845, the writer was born, and in this county and city he spent the first fourteen years of his life, and many years since. For some years prior to the late civil war, the Stone Street and St. Louis Street churches (colored) were both noted for their numbers and their financial strength.
Published in the Alabama Baptist by A. B. Couch 8/26/1880:
Bro. Teague's articles "Their Way and End" are interesting and instructive and ventilate a subject that has been to much neglected. But in his communication in the insite of our paper of Aug. 12 he exhibits a want of correct acquantance with the history of Eld. Jacob Henry Schoebel and family.
It was through the influence of Eld. Alexander Travis not Watson, that he was brought into the Baptist church at Claiborne, Alabama. As regards his tannery, preaching, and demise, Bro T is correct. His widow kept boarding house in Mobile for several years after the death of her husband and with what she had to start with and the assistance of friends such as Thos P Miller, Claiborne, I have learned she made a comfortable living. She married a Methodist Preacher named Thomason but remained a member of the the Baptist church to the day of her death. She had no children by her second husband.
His only son, Henry (Note: actually Charles Henry), went to California when quite a young man where he has lived ever since. His eldest daughter, Julianna, married John R. Battelle, a brother-in-law of Thos P Miller. Bro. Battelle was a prominent grocer in the city for many years. His wife and himself were bothe members of the Baptist church. His second daughter Laura, married a Mr. Ruggles of Mobile. Mr. Ruggles was a respected and industrious man, and made a good living for his family. His widow is the very efficient and popular matron of the Protestand Orphan Asylum of this city. They were both members of the Baptist church. His third daughter Margaret, married a steam boat man named Mercer, who made a good living for his family up to the time of his death. His widow raised her children in Mobile, where she was a member of the Baptist chuch up to a short time ago, when she and her children went to California, where her brother Henry is. His fourth daughter Jane, is the present wife of Samuel E. Stokes, a prominent citizen and thriving merchant on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay. They are both members of the Baptist church. His grand children so far as I know are Baptists.
Thus his influence as a Baptist preacher is extending and widening and will continue to be felt in future ages. His son Henry has never been a member of any church. Sister Schroebel, as Bro. Schroebel, died a triumphant death, and at the request of her children, I preached her memorial in the St. Francis Street Church in this city. I have known the family intimately since the year 1837

Obituary:
Bethlehem Baptist Association Records of 1843
Pages 12 and 13
On Monday of the present Session of the Association, she received the painful intelligence of the death of Elder Jacob H Schroebel, who, for fifteen successive years had been a member, and the great part of the time, her stated clerk.
It is not the purpose of this notice to panegyrise the subject of it, nor would the Association depart from the usual course in recording the death of ministers of her body, if he ever whom she is now called to mourn, had not deservedly held unusually strong claims upon her affection. In this instance, she trusts the cause of virtue and religion may be subserved by a short biographical sketch of his eventful life, just closed in the zenith of its usefulness.
He was born of German parents in the city of Charleston, South Carolina, on the 17th of March, 1801. His father was a respectable Minister of the Methodist Church, his mother a worthy member of the Lutheran Church, to which his predilection inclined him, and of which at the proper age he was confirmed a member.
In early life he exhibited evidences of that strength of intellect, high sense of honor, and decision of character, which stood out so prominent when his whole character was fully developed. When quite young, he was indented an apprentice to the Tanning and Currying business, of which he acquired through knowledge. On the 10th day of July, 1823 he married Miss Louiza Colzy of an ancient and repectable French family, whom he leaves widowed with seven children; of whose bereavement and feeling of desolation it were vain to attempt a description. May the Lord God of the widow and the fatherless, soothe their sorrows, bind up, and pour into their wounded spirits the consolations of his grace, and be to them a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Early in 1825 he removed from Charleston to Claiborne, in this State, where he successfully pursued his avocation until the Spring of 1841, when he removed to Mobile.
In all the business and relations of life, he maitained an unblemished reputation, while his bland manners and social disposition made him a general favorite.
Although his moral habits were good, it does not appear that he had any special concern about the state of his soul, until early in 1828, when the eyes of his understanding were opened, and he beheld himself a poor condemned helpless sinner; his repentance was deep and abiding, until by faith he was enabled to trust in Jesus Christ as savior of sinners, in whom he saw such fullness and fitness as met every desire of his burdened heart, and made him rejoice with joy unspeakable, and full of glory. On the 18th day of May, 1828 he, and his companion, who was then a member of the Methodist Church, were baptized and became members of the Claiborne Baptist Church.
His love to his Savior, and concern for the salvation of sinners, now constrained him to activity in the cause of his master; he soon began to pray and exhort in public. His mind being exercised on the subject of preaching and the Church believing he possessed useful gifts and that the Lord had called him to the Gospel Ministry; on the 18th day of September, 1830, licensed him to preach, in which he engaged with all the energies of his ardent sould. His gifts and usefullness were so apparent, that on the third Lord's day in December following, he was ordained, and fully invested with the office of a Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Immediately after this event Elder Alexander Travis, under whose ministry he was awakened, and by whom he was immersed, resigned the pastoral care of the Church and Elder Schroebel was unanimously elected his successor.
The field of his labors now opened extensively, and he yielding to the calls from the neighboring Churches and destiture settlements, preached the word with great success; the Mount Gilead Church soon called him as Pastor, as did the churches of Limestone and Flat Creek, which four churches he continued to serve faithfully, acceptably and profitably, until his removal to Mobile. In the Fall of 1840 he organized a Church of a few members at Montgomery Hill, where for some time he had been preaching, which has increased in numbers until it has become a strong, prosperous and happy one.
While thus laboring in the ministry, he was under the necessity of employing his time diligently throughout the week in the support of his family.
Early in March, 1841, the St. Anthony Street Church in Mobile, unanimously elected him Pastor, which, upon the advice of a few friends, and mature deliveration he concluded it was his duty to accept; dissolving his connexion with the four first named churches, he settled in Mobile.
It is proper here to state, that at this time the Church was a small, feeble body, divided, and struggling with difficulties that threatened her very existance.
Under these untoward circumstances, with an oppressive diffidence in view of his qualifications, he entered upon the duties and responsibilities of his new charge the latter end of April. In all the delicate and often perplexing circumstances in which his position placed him, his course was marked by such evident singleness of purpose, and christian prudence, as tended materially to restore harmony in the body, while his affectionate disposition and conciliatory manner won the affection and confidence of the membrs. He gave himself to the work of the Lord, in which he was indefatigable both in public and private. The chief shepherd smiled upon his efforts, and made him the honored instrument by which he has poured out his mercy upon the Church and community in sweet, refreshing showers; the fruits of his labors in part are to be seen in the fact that the Church has increased to upwards of seven hundred members of whom he immersed near three hundred.
It was however in the pulpit, that the stronger features of his moral and intellectual nature, and the power of his masculine mind were most clearly developed. Notwithstanding it was his misfortune to have received but a very limited English education in early life, an circumstances by which he was surrounded (until his removal to Mobile) were unfavorable; he had gathered a rich fund of useful knowledge, in despite of all the disadvantages under which he labored. - His sermons were remarkable for clearness of perception, distinctness, and accuracy fo arrangement, powere, and compass of thought, expressed in rich and strong language, accompanied by an artless, graceful manner, deliverd with great energy: but the points of chief excellence in them were seen and felt, in his extensive and critical knowledge of the scriptures, the number and aptness of his quotations and illistrations, he preached the word; it was indeed, the Alpha and the Omega.

Introduction to Memorandum Book (printed 1983)
Jacob Henry Schroebel was born March 17, 1801 , in Charleston, S.C. He was married there in July, 1823. He moved to Claiborne, Alabama in 1825 where he was engaged in the tannery and currying business, a trade he learned by being apprenticed at the age of twelve years to such a business.
Coming under the influence of Alexander Travis, pastor of the Claiborne Baptist Church, Schroebel was converted and baptized by his pastor on May 18, 1828. Soon he was made a deacon in the church, and on June 14, 1830 was licensed to preach the gospel, followed by his full ordination to the ministry in December the same year.
Alexander Travis soon resigned the pastorate of the Claiborne Church and Elder Schroebel was called to the vacancy. He shortly beecame pastor of other churches in Monroe County, among them, Mount Gilead, Flat Creek, and Limestone. The last named, Limestone, is the only one of these to survive to the present. Limestone became the First Baptist Church, Monroeville, Alabama.
In 1840 Schroebel responded to a call from Montgomery Hill, Alabama, (now Tensaw, Ala.) in north Baldwin County, to help organize a church. he became the first pastor. It, too is an active church today.
St. Anthony Street Baptist Church, in Mobile, needed a pastor. They turned to Elder Schroebelfor the strong leadership potential which this young pastor seemed to show. He was called to the church in 1841. Some evidence seems to indicate that Schroebel did not immediately relinquish all ties with his work in Monroe County, although he moved his residence to Mobile. Probably he gave up his business at this time to devote his full time to the ministry.
His was destined to be a short ministry and much too-short life. In the midst of the yellow fever epidemic wich ravaged the city of Mobile in 1843, he faithfully fulfilled his duties to the sick, the dying, and to the sorrowing. At last to ill to continue, he retired to his summer home at Cottage Hill, (whence his family had been sent to escape the dangers of the pestilence). There, after a fe days of violent illness, he died on September 21, 1843.
This, his Memorandum Book, records, by his own hand, the last baptism administered by him on September 8, just thirteen days before his death.

HEADLINE:
Letter of Area Baptist Pastor of 132 Years Ago Given College
Aged documents going back 132 years which were among the effects of the first Baptist Church, organized in Mobile have been given to the library of Mobile College and will be placed in a display case in the library.
The Rev. J. H. Schroebel, who was pastor of the St. Anthony Street Baptist Church, incorporated as the "First Baptis Church of Christ" in Mobile, kept a "Memorandum Book" dating back to 1831, when he was pastor at Claiborne, Ala. the book and two of his letters are among the documents donated to the college.
Presented by Mrs. William Yuille, 27 S. Lafayette St., the papers include early publications of the Mobile Baptis Association. Mrs. Yille is now a member of the First Baptis Church of Mobile, which was formed by 37 members of the disbanded St. Anthony Street Church.
On Sept. 13, 1843, the Rev. Schroebel wrote a friend in New York, "Our city has been very healthy untill (sic) the last week, since which time sickness has been on the increase and the rumor this morning is that there were two cases of yellow fever yesterday. I am in hopes that it is not true." But on Sept. 21, Pastor Schroebel died of yellow fever. Both letters written by the Baptist pastor were to Thomas P. Miller in New York. Before the days of stamps, the letters were merely folded, edges glued together, addressed and postmarked "Mobile, Alabama" with the date. In a separate spot, one is stamped "paid" apparently referring to the numeral "30" written on it.
In his Memorandum Book the Rev. Schroebel noted the baptism of many slaves as well as white people with much prases as "baptised Tom, slave of Wm. Clark."
The last letter deals almost entirely with the efforts of the pastor to assist "a colored Bptist preacher who was her the last winter and in the spring left for Liberia." The negro preacher had secured the return of three of his children to Africa, according to the letter and Pastor Schroebel was endeavoring to arrange for the return of a fourth child. the end of the story is not known since the writer fell a victim of yellow fever soon after.

Notes for Edward Ledyard Smith Schroebel:
1840 census shows Jacob with two boys which would be Edward and Charles Henry. 1850 Laura, Edward, and Jane are listed as Thomason instead of Schroebel. Can't find Edward in 1860.
Namesake info
1840 also shows Edward L Smith age 40-50 living in Monroe County with the Schroebel family my guess is this is who they named him for as their previouse son was named for Alexander Travis. 1850 shows Edward L Smith is 56 from Connecticutt wife is Martha.

Notes for Janie Theodora Schroebel:
The information below is from the Book DAPHNE A HISTORY OF ITS PEOPLE AND THEIR PURSUITS AS SOME SAW IT AND OTHERS REMEMBER IT by Florence Dolive Scott and Richard Joseph Scott
In 1893, Hans Peter Hanson, sailed in his boat, the Mahalia Frances, up to Stokes Wharf, having on board with him a young Baptist preacher, Joseph M. Kailin, a native of North Alabama. Mr. Stokes met and took them to his home where they enjoyed all hospitality. Mr. Stokes' wife, Jane Schoebel Stokes, the daughter of a Baptist Minister who came to Mobile from the New England States, and was one of the ministers serving the First Baptist Church of Mobile, received them with all courtesy. Bro. Kailin then became pastor of the Bay Shore Baptist Church (later named Daphne Baptist Church). He courted and married Louise Stokes. They served in the Mobile Association many years. Later in 1914 when the Baldwin County Baptist Association was established in a meeting at Bay Minette Church, Mrs. Kailin came over from Mobile to assist the Baptist women in establishing their organization. During the year of 1893, Charles Hall (Clerch of the Court to Judge Gasque, Postmaster at Daphne from 1889-1891, Probate Judge for 12 years) was clerk and Superintendent. The report shows 31 members, Church expenses- $ 12.00, Pastor's salary- $ 21.66, Missions- $ 2.40, Total including $ 1.10 for minutes was $ 39.36, which is $ 2.20 over figure listed. House was valued at $ 1,000.00.
From Page 13 to 16 THE STOKES AND NEIGHBORS AT THE VILLAGE
When Mr. Samuel Stokes returned from the Civil War there was nothing left of his home and family as he had known it; his wife, Sarah, and three of their small children had died and the house denuded of all furniture. After one night spent in desolation he went to Mobile with the intention of settling there; however, one of his friends persuaded him to return and restore the home. In line with that he asked "Mammy" Rose Jerkins to come and keep house for him. At first she refused, but the next day she appeared with her belongings and from then on she was an important factor in the Stokes family.
Mr. Stokes' second marriage was to Miss Jane Schroebel, the daughter of a Baptist minister who came to Mobile from the New England States and was on e of the early ministers serving the First Baptist Church of Mobile. To this union were born six daughters: Louise, Kari, Laura, Clara, Elizabeth, and Sallie. The grew up in teh atmosphere of a loarge and happy household; all looked after by Mammy Rose and receiving their schooling in the customary way of that day by private teachers at home.
One of their favorite pastimes was riding the big bay horse named "Paul", sometimes singly and sometimes several at a time. He served as a means of transportation for the family carriage as well as hauling groceries for the general store that was jointly owned by Mr. Stokes and Major Starke. After Mr. Stokes bought out Major Starke's share of hte store he relocated in practically on the beach in front of the home. "Paul" was included in the store transaction and when Paul died, after a long and useful life, there was great distress felt be the entire family.
When the girls were are a point for higher education, three of them, Louise, Laura, and Clara attended Miss Bagby's School for Young Ladies in Mobile and graduated there. Clara and her younger sister, Sallie, went into the business world in Mobile, each one being with a law firm. Since bay boats were the only means of transportation then and the schedule was not aadapted to office hours, they had to live in Mobile during the week and come home to Daphne on weekends and holidays. Louise taught school for awhile in the Judge hall School and one of the Hll daughets was named Louise after her. Later, she married the Reverend Joseph M. Kailin , a native of north Alabama and they made their home in Mobile. There were no children.
Elizabeth Stokes, or "Miss Bessie", as she was usually called, married Mr. William Yuille of Daphne. An account of their wedding was found in an old scrapbook and this is the way it reads: "Mr. William Yuille and Miss Elizabeth Stokes were united in marrage at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. S. E. Stokes, in Daphne, Wednesday mornuing (this was June of 1900) the Reverend J.M. Kailin officiating. The wedding was a very quiet affair, only the immediate relatives of the contracting parties being present. Immediately after the ceremony, the happy couple left on the morning boat for Mobile where they took the train to St. Louis." After their return, they made their home in Mobile; no children were born to this union. Clara, Sallie, and Kari Stokes never married.
A member of the household when the children were growing up was Mr. Stokes' sister, Miss Mary Stokes, who had taken care of his little daugher, Mary, when her mother died, and she now took and active part in the many things that go with the rearing of a large family. Mr. Stokes passed away in August of 1894 and was laid to rest in the family burial plot on the back of their property. His family continued to live in the big home at Daphne for a number of years but eventually they moved to Mobile so they could all be together. When Mrs. Stokes died in February 1930, she was placed in the Schroebel family plot in Magnolia Cemetery, Mobile. After the death of Mrs. Stokes and her daughter, Sallie, within three weeks of each other, Miss Bessie and her husband moved back to Daphne and for a few years made their home in the old Stokes place. Then they went to live in the cottage next door which, by an amicable division of property, had gone to Miss Bessie.
To go back a bit, Miss Laura Stokes married Mr. T.W. Richerson of Stockton, a widower at the time. His oldest daughter, Myrtle, was already married then, but the four other children; Errol, T.W., Jr., LaVelle, and Mazie, all were a part of the new household. It is with Mr. Errol Richerson that Miss Bessie, now a widow and the last of the Stokes girls living, makes her home. Miss Bessie is still the dainty and gracious person I remember her to have been through the years and it is from her that I have gleaned much of the content of this chapter.
The Stokes home, located near the old Village, is now the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. Howard Ellis; Mr. Ellis being one of the leading architects of Mobile. They have a son and a daughter each married and livng in other sections of the country.
The Stokes family burial plot, about twenty-five feet square, is enclosed by and iron fence; it is situated about fifty feet north of the Daphne Baptist Cemetery and about one hundred feet west of the old country road. The oldes headstone in this plot is a very handsome one with the carving of a weeping willow at the top. Its inscription reads as follows: "In memory of Sarah M., wife of Samuel E. Stokes and daughter of Lewis and Louisa Stark, born April 15, 1832 and died February 21, 1863. Age 30 years 10 months and 6 days." Then there is her husband's grave, Samuel E Stokes Nov. 15, 1824-Aug. 7, 1894, and his sister's; Mary C Stokes Sept. 20, 1815-Sept. 16, 1905. Mr. Stokes daughter and that of his first wife, Sarah, is marked Mary S. Gustin Nov 21, 1852-March 16, 1930 and there, also, are the graves of their three other children who died as infants. Mammy Rose Jerkins, too, was laid to rest in the Stokes lot and her grave has a stone with word "Mammy" on it. The only other interment is that of William Yuille, August 18, 1869-April 21, 1940, husband of Miss Bessie.

Author: Brant & Fuller (1893)
SAMUEL E. STOKES, the enterprising merchant of Daphne, Ala., was born in
Clarke county, in the same state, November 15, 1824, the son of David F. and
Sarah (Parker) Stokes. The father, David F., was a native of North Carolina, was
reared to farming, and was married in his native state, in his twenty-second
year. Soon after his marriage he came to Alabama and settled in Clarke county,
where he lost his wife in 1845; in 1846 he married Mrs. Flournoy, sister of
Abraham Debous, of Clarke county. David F. Stokes was a thorough farmer, a
representative man and a zealous democrat, and died in 1864. Mrs. Sarah (Parker)
Stokes. was also a native of North Carolina, was married in her eighteenth year,
bore her husband six children, all of whom reached maturity. She united with the
Primitive Baptist church early in life and adhered to its teachings until her
death. Samuel E. Stokes was reared on the Clarke county homestead, and what time
could be spared from his farm duties was devoted to gaining an education at a
school-house six miles away. He went to Mobile in 1845 and effected an
engagement with T. R. Crawford, as a clerk, with whom he remained for eleven
years; he then entered the employ of the M. F. Stetson Co. as clerk, and was
still so engaged when the civil war came on. By this time Mr. Stokes was well
provided with capital and was preparing to engage in business on his own
account, but the call to arms frustrated his design. He at first enlisted in
1861, in a company organized for home protection, but so great became the demand
for strong young men for field duty that he joined company I, Fifteenth Alabama
cavalry, as a private, and served with it in the valley of the Mississippi
throughout the struggle, eluding capture and escaping serious injury, although
he took part in some of the most serious engagements, numberless skirmishes, and
endured many hardships and privations. He received his final parole at
Gainesville, Ala., April 24, 1865, and returned to Mobile to find his wealth
swept away and obstacles insuperable to overcome. After several ineffectual
attempts to gain a business foot-hold in Mobile, he crossed the bay to Daphne,
where he owned some land, which was his only possession not annihilated by the
destroying hand of war, and by pawning his watch and by other management
succeeded in securing a small capital and began his present business. He has now
a fine store-building, and one of the most picturesque homes, as well as several
tenements in the vicinity, Mr. Stokes was united in marriage, in 1854, to Miss
Sarah Stark, daughter of George A. F. Stark, and to this union were born four
children, of whom there survives but one - Mary, the wife of F. M. Gustin, of
New Orleans. Mrs. Stokes passed away during the progress of the war, a
consistent member of the Missionary Baptist church. In 1866, Mr. Stokes took,
for his second wife, Miss Jane T. Stroble, daughter of Rev. Jacob Stroble; this
gentleman established the first Missionary Baptist church in Baldwin county and
his life was devoted to the cause of Christ. Mrs. Jane T. Stokes was reared in
Mobile, was twenty-four years of age when married, and became the mother of six
children, as follows: Louisa, Caroline, Laura, Clara, Bessie and Sallie. In
politics Mr. Stokes is a democrat of the Jacksonian school. Near his house
stands an historic tree, whose gigantic trunk is seven feet in diameter and
whose branches reach fully 100 feet in every direction, and whose limbs are
clothed in long pendants of somber Spanish moss; under this great live oak,
tradition tell us, Gen. Andrew Jackson camped for the night and held his council
of war on his famous march from Mobile to Pensacola to subdue the Spaniards.
Mrs. Stokes and family are members of the Missionary Baptist church.

Bro Samuel E. Stokes died suddenly at his home, Daphne, Ala., August 7th. A loarge family, a number of relatives and a host of friends mourn his death. With these we sympathize in their great loss. Bro S was a man of large physique, remarkably hale and strong, although over seventy years of age. His energy had brought him much of properity as well as adversity. His view of life was practical, and like Paul, he was not ashamed to labor with his hands.
Reared, as he was, in the stormy period of Southern history, he was loyal to the South. Her heroes furnished him a fruitful theme of conversation. To the young it was a treat to sit at his feet and listen as he spoke of the past.
Bro S. loved the Bible. He kept a copy on the desk in his store. His family were brough up in hte fear of the Lord, and a happier home than his could not be found. To the minister of the gospel he was a friend indeed. He and his wife a daughter of the lamented Brother Schroebel, made their home the home of every preacher who sought rest and shelter. Many of these will bless his memory. He has left us, but we hope to meet again.

Two brothers, George and Thomas Potter, both of London, England came to America as British soldiers during the Revolutionary war. Family tradition has it that they were both taken prisoner by the American Army and later served in the American Army and became American citizens, but we find nothing about them in the National Archives: however, the records are incomplete and it is possible that such tradition could be fact but we have no way of verifying it.
George Potter was born in London, England in the year of 1755 and came to America during the Revolutionary War. On June 6, 1782 he married Hannah Fitzhugh who was born August 20, 1758. their marriage was not recorded until June 11, 1782.

=============================================================
Last Will of George Potter (This is a letter of testimony)

***************************************************************************
Notes from Bill Scroggin:
It is believed that George Potter was born in London, England in 1755 and came to America during the Revolutionary War, probably with his brother Thomas. The family rumor that abounds is that George and Thomas were taken prisoner by the American Army and later renounced their citizenship to England, and became American citizens. There is no record of this, but the story has been told so often in and out of the family, one can only guess at its truthfulness!
George married Hannah Fitzhugh June 6, 1782. She was the daughter of Robert Fitzhugh and Margaret Bell.
George and Hannah came to Missouri in 1807, with a family named Cole. It is believed that they came to Missouri on the advise of Daniel Boone. They settled in Cooper County around 1817, in what is now the Northeast corner of Main and Chestnut in downtown Boonville, MO.
George Potter died January 17, 1826, and Hannah Fitzhugh Potter died February 16, 1831. Both are buried in a private cemetery in Cooper County, MO.
Book published in the early 1970s by Paul Bennett and his wife Ada Dewitt Bennett. "Bennett-Dewitt and Related Families". They placed it in lots of libraries. Sedalia, the State Hist. Soc. library at MU etc. PP. 282-299 deal with the Potters.
The head of the line was George Potter. He came to America as a British soldier. Defected during the Rev. War. married Hannah Fitzhugh in Bedford Co., Va. Lived briefly in Ky and moved on to Cooper County early. They had 7 children who grew up--John, Elizabeth, Samuel, Frances, Mary, William and Hannah.

Notes for Charles Rose:
AN ADOPTED ROSE
CHARLES ROSE OF GALLATIN CO., KENTUCKY AND KING GEORGE CO., VIRGINIA
A descendant of Charles Rose of Gallatin Co., Ky. (born 1756 King George Co., Va., died in Gallatin Co., Kentucky, m. 1st Miss Hutchison, 2nd Lucinda 'Goings) did not match with any Roses, but did match with three Thorntons in a Thornton DNA project. This confirms information which some of that family's branches had that there was an adoption in this group of Roses. In this case, it seems clear that Charles Rose was a Thornton by birth, and thus the reason he named one of his own sons Thornton Rose. This testing shows again the power of DNA tests, which in this case confirmed a family's tradition.

Dear Ms. Crnkovich,
Thanks for your message.
I find in our index of ministers who have been members of the SC Annual
Conference that John Schroeble was admitted on trial to the conference
in 1819, and was discontinued in 1820. The records show him as serving
Orangeburg in 1819 with Matthew Rayford and Cypress Circuit in 1820,
with John Taylor.
Because he left the conference, there is no other information in our
records on John Schroeble.
I'm sorry that we are unable to help.
Best wishes,
(Dr.) Phillip Stone
Archivist
Our records for the period before 1850 are very thin. We don't have any quarterly conference or membership records for Cypress Circuit - which was located in modern-day Dorchester and Colleton Counties. For many years, there was a Cypress Camp meeting in that area.
Matthew Rayford or Raiford was admitted to the conference in 1819 and transferred to Georgia in 1830 when the Georgia Annual Conference was organized. He served mostly in Georgia in the years that he was part of the SC Conference - the conference covering churches in both states as well as Alabama and Florida at times. The circuit that he and Schroebel served together - Orangeburg - would have been quite a few churches, and I'd guess that they split up and visited the preaching places separately.

I also checked the City Directories to see about finding the house in which the family lived. Here are the relevant entries:
1803 C. Colzy, tailor, 19 Church St.
1806 C. Colzy, tailor, 20 Church St.
1807 Christian Colzy, merchant tailor, 29 Church St.
1809 Charlemagne Colzy, 29 Church St.
1813 no listings for Colzy
1816 Charlemagne Colzy, 43 Church St.
1819 Charlemagne Colzy, 43 Church St.
1822 --- Colzy, widow of Charlemagne, tailoress, 111 Church St.
1825 Mrs. Angelica Colzy, 33 Meeting St.
1829 A. Colzy, 111 Church St.
1830 Angelique Colzy, widow, 111 Church St.
1835 and beyond, no listings
City Directories are terribly inaccurate about spellings and street numbers. Charleston did not have a good street numbering system until after the Civil War. Before that, whole streets were renumbered and even street names changed on a year to year basis as houses were added and lots subdivided. Still, lower Church St. was built out pretty early. Without doing a lot more historical research (architectural research is really my thing, and I just help out with genealogical research because of the overlap), I am pretty confident that the reference to 33 Meeting St. is wrong based on what I know about that house. I am not sure what accounts for the 19 and 20 Church St. references. I think it can pretty safely be assumed that they family did indeed live at 29 Church St., 43 Church St., and 111 Church St. (especially based on the obit that mentioned 43 Church St.) since they were continuously listed in multiple directories.
43 Church St. is still standing. 111 Church St. is a newer building (although the numbering of upper Church St. might have been different from the 1830s). 29 Church St. is an old house, but I think it only dates from the 1830s.
*****************************************************************
Information below was found August 6, 2004 by Kevin Eberle ROAGK.org volunteer in Charleston, South Carolina.
Had Frank Guerin 27 and Margaret J. Guerin 25 from South Carolina living with her and Matthew in the 1860 census. May be Family.
Well, I have good news for you. I went to the Charleston County Library's South Carolina Room and did some research on your family last night and found some useful information.
First, on May 5, 1799, Mr. Lewis Charlemagne Colzy married "the agreeable Miss Angelique Guerin." (According to The CIty Gazette, May 8, 1799.) He apparently went by different names. For example, according to a notice in the City Gazette on June 26, 1819, friends and acquaintances were invited to attend the funeral of "Charles Colzy." According to that same notice, he was a resident of 48 Church St. (but that might have been a reference to 43 Church St. as explained below). On the other hand, the interment records of St. Mary's Catholic Church recorded his name as Charlemain Colzy. The church records listed his age at the time of his death as 49 and reported that he was a native of Lyons, France. (So his first name was probably Louis and not Lewis; the newspaper back then was pretty loose on spellings.) His will had been written on June 24, 1819, leaving his estate to this wife for the duration of her life and then to the couple's children. The will was admitted on June 30, 1819. Unfortunately, the will did not name his children.
Fortunately, Angelique's will did. But, I'm getting ahead of myself. First, Angelique died on July 24, 1837, in Charleston and is, like her husband, buried at St. Mary's. According to the City of Charleston Death Records, she was 60 years, six months of age when she died of cancer. (Sorry to have to be the one to tell you that you have a family history of cancer!) She had lived in Charleston for 45 years, but she had been born in Martinique.
Now, back to her will. Angelique's will has some great information about her family. She devised her estate in various percentages to her children and grandchildren. She left 1/4th to her son Theodore and 1/4th to her son Adolphe. Then, 1/12th went to her daughter Margaret Drege, the wife of Peter Drege. (There is an accent mark over the second e in Drege, but I don't know how to type that.) A 1/6th interest was given to her daughter Louisa, the wife of “Jacob Schrobel of Alabama.” Then, a 1/12th interest was to be divided between the two unnamed children of her son Eugene. Finally, a 1/12th interest was left to each of the unnamed children of her daughter Eugenia Guerin. (I'll save you the adding of the fractions and tell you that Eugenia must have had two children for the entire estate to add up to 12/12ths.) The will was written on July 14, 1837, and proved on October 19, 1837. (Admitted and proved are terms we lawyers in Charleston still use to refer to the submission of a will to the Probate Court for recognition by the Court.)
Those, however, were not the Colzys only children. On August 2, 1821, the City Gazette ran a notice stating that the friends and acquaintances of Mrs. A. Colzy (Charlemagne/Charles was already dead) and of her son John F. Colzy were invited to attend the funeral of the latter. That notice gave John's last address as 43 Church St. According to the City Death Records, John (whose name was listed in the city records as John B.F. Colzy) died at the age of 18 on August 2, 1821 of bilious fever and was buried at St. Mary's.
As an aside, let me say that the City records can often be off a bit. It seems unlikely that a funeral was planned and that a notice was put in the newspaper on the same day John Colzy died! I'll also throw out that I suspect that the newspaper was wrong about either John or his father's address. If John died at 18, it is unlikely that he was already living by himself on lower Church St. (a nice section of town even then) and the fact that the two addresses were 43 and 48 makes me wonder whether one or the other was a scrivener's error. Maybe your information from the City Directories can answer that.
So, what about those other children? I'm glad you asked, because I found some information about them too. Well, not all of them. I didn't find any other references to Theodore. Adolphe, though, showed up in the City Death Records. His name there was listed as Adolphus P. Colzy (although I would put more stock in his mother's spelling from her will). He died at 18 years, 2 months, 16 days old on December 4, 1837, from consumption and is buried at St. Patrick's Burial Ground. He was a native of Charleston.
Next, Margaret's middle name was given as Felicite according to a newspaper notice announcing her marriage to Peter Drege of Charleston on February 3, 1816. (The CIty Gazette, Feb. 7, 1816)
The only information I could find about Louisa was that blurb about her marriage to Jacob in her mother's will. I don't know if the "of Alabama" reference in the will meant Jacob was originally of Alabama or whether he was living there at the time.
So, that leaves Eugenia Guerin Colzy and Eugene Colzy. Based on their mother's will, we know that each of them had had at least two children by the time their mother wrote her will. The City Death Records include a reference to a 24 year old named E. Colzy who had been born in Charleston and who died of consumption on December 29, 1831. The E. Colzy was buried at St. Mary's. That could be either Eugene or Eugenia, but I'll suggest that it was probably Eugene since otherwise it means that Eugenia was still going by her maiden name when she died even though she had two children.
St. Mary's is still in operation at exactly the same place right in downtown Charleston. The church burned in 1838 and was rebuilt right away. Some of the graves from before the fire might have been destroyed, but I'll bet that some other family markers are still there. I rode my bike to my office this morning and stopped by, but the gates were still locked. I'll check it out this weekend. St. Patrick's is also still here, but I don't know anything about its cemetery.
So, I hope that all this helps and that some of this is new to you. I'll check and see if I can find anything about Angelique's parents. Based on the information from the various sources, Angelique arrived in Charleston in about 1792 at the age of about 15. It is highly unlikely that a 15 year old from Martinique would arrive in Charleston in 1792 without a family. If so, maybe her parents are also buried at St. Mary's. I think doing much more research at St. Mary's might be a problem though because its records were written in French until the 1820s and lots of the gravestones are in French. A big portion of its congregation came from the Caribbean as refugees from slave revolts in the late 18th century. Any way, other than that, I'm sort of out of leads, but I'll check up on anything else you need.
All I ask is that if you need to send someone to the Caribbean or south of France to do any more research on Charlemagne or Angelique, keep me in mind!

Also, the family must have REALLY been into tailoring. I checked the City Directories to see if there was any info on the Drege family. The first reference came in 1809 when Madam Drege was listed as a shopkeeper on Motte St. In 1816, Peter Drege was listed as a clothing store owner. The store was located at the corner of East Bay and Queen St.. By the 1830s, his business was known as Peter Drege & Co., and he lived on East Bay Street.

Notes for Mary Eugenia Colzy:
Info from ROAGK volunteer Kevin Eberle
Funny you should ask. I stopped at St. Mary’s last evening and checked for any graves. The cemetery is nothing more than a little bit a land around the church and does not have more than probably 200 gravestones. I did not see any for Colzy, but there was no one there to see if there is an index or something. I’ll check again later. However, there was a marker on the building which was made out to Mary Eugenia Guerin who was identified as the “consort of John Guerin.” At the library, there is a book which is a compilation of Roman Catholic deaths in Charleston during the early 19th century. (I presume this had a VERY limited printing!) Anyway, the author compiled records from several different places. I checked Guerin to see if I could identify Angelique’s parents, but I couldn’t. However, there was an entry of Mrs. Marie Eugenie Clozy Guerin drawn from something called the Catholic Miscellany. It listed her date of death as September 5, 1836, and said she was a native of Charleston and had died of consumption at the age of 27 years, 2 months, and 12 days. Angelique’s will simply referred to “my daughter Eugenia Guerin.” I had assumed that must have been her middle name since the husband of Louisa had been specifically named and since Guerin was a family name. However, now, I think that she must have been married to John Guerin by the time of her mother’s will.

279. Margaret Bell, born Abt. 1740; died Bet. 1800 - 1810 in Logan Co, KY.
Notes for Robert Fitzhugh:
Robert Fitzhugh sold 155 acres to John Bales for 160 pounds VA currency on 26 Sep 1797 in Bedford, VA. He died between 1800 and 1810 in Logan, KY.
My will is, that if my son Robert should return to this state he shall be paid one shilling out of my estate, my reason for which is that he at the commencement of the late war quit the business which I had allotted for his living, since which I have never heard of him therefore I leave him to the providence of a just and merciful God.
The following is from a 1955 letter from Mary Trowbridge Elkins (a descendant of Solomon Fitzhugh):
"The first records we have of Robert was when he went to Bedford Co., Virginia on a small farm and his son Peter was born in Bedford Co., VA in 1760. They paid taxes there from 1782-1797 and the record of Peter's, Robert , Jr., Hannah's marriages are there in Bedford Co. all before 1797. I saw a copy of the marriage records. The record shows also that they sold all this land they owned in Bedford Co. Sept. 26, 1797 about 155 acres. Some of the family were in the revolution, but so far no one has taken the trouble to prove it. Until now the family had not been traced. One relative got in to the D.A.R. on the strength of Robert Jr., but she traced the family wrong and we are to prove that now.
In the tax lists of 1799 the first Robert, Peter and Robert Jr. are given as living in Logan Co. KY. After that only the names of Peter and Robert Jr. show on the tax lists. Walter Lane did this research. Robert Sr. must have died or gone back to Va. We know nothing more of him."
1787 Bedford Co. p. 194, Per. Prop. Tax List A: Robert, Sr. (1 horse, mare, colt, or mule and 3 cattle) not tithable. (Reasons for being exempt included: being a woman; being old and infirm---in which case one should be able to find in the county Order Books a law making him exempt; and an occupation of clergyman or professor. Certain political jobs--from constable---at county level--to governor---at the state level--made one exempt. White males between sixteen and twenty-one were subject to a county parish tithe, but not to the state poll tax. Indians were exempt. Persons living out of the county may be listed because they owned property in the county, but they themselves were exempt except in the county in which they resided. Sometimes the tax commissioner notes the county or state in which out-of-county taxpayers lived.)
p. 211 Taxpayers By Date Commissioner Received Their Lists. (The commissioner was required to note the day he visited each taxpayer. This makes it possible to rearrange the lists and determine probable neighbors.) Robert, Sr.--4/4----also Peter, Robert, Jr., and George Potter who married Robert, Sr.'s daughter, Hannah.
Cousin Jan Wolford of TX visited Logan Co., KY cemeteries in Sept. 1996 to locate Robert's grave--did not find it but found that of Robert's son, Robert in Terry Burying Ground.
(This line continues down through Solomon Fitzhugh.)
=====================================================================
According to Walter Guy Lane, first mention of Robert Fitzhugh is in the Bedford Country, Virginia, Deed Book, No.2 on page 198, dated May 24, 1763, when Richard Stith of Bedford on behalf of the executors of Richard Randolph deeded to Robert Fitzhugh of the same county 105 acres in Bedford County o the south side of Jones Fort of Otter River adjoining Yoatem, being part of the land conveyed by the executors of Richard Randolph, deceased, to the said Richard Stith by power of attorney, Nov. 7, 1761 and recorded in the General Court. Recorded, Bedford, May 23, 1763.
==========================================
(I have found that WGL was mistaken about this. The John F who m. E. Harrison was born in 1729/30 and not the brother of Robert.)
As Bedford County was cut from Lunenberg County in 1754, it is possible that Robert Sr. was previously a resident of Lunenberg County. His marriage license record to Margaret _________has not yet been found. However, the marriage license of John Fitzhugh, an unrecorded son of Major John, was found in Lunenberg records. On Jan. 31, 1760, he was married to Elizabeth Harrison. So it is possible that some members of this branch of the family were identified with this county before it was divided.
(From WGL's manuscript _Fitzhugh, Dawson, and Logsdon Family Lineages: Fitzhugh Narrative_
=======================================================================
WGL reported that "a recent search on Robert Jr.,'s burial lot has unearthed two stones with the initials R and M on them, which undoubtedly indicates Robert Sr., and his wife, Margaret." This must have been in the 1940s or 1950s.

Notes for Peter Fitzhugh:
Peter (son of Robert Fitzhugh) was a participant in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse on 15 Mar 1781 in Guilford, NC. Received a land grant of 78 3/4 acres, which was surveyed 15 Aug 1799. The watercourse was listed as Little Whippoorwill and Big Spring Creek in Logan, KY. He appeared on the census of 1810 in Logan, KY. His headstone is inscribed "In memory of Peter Fitzhugh, who was born May 8th 1760, dec'd February (sic) 8th 1828". The plot next to him has no stone. Buried at Red River Meeting House Cemetery located 1 mile west of Schochoh, KY. His will was probated 3 Mar 1828 in Logan County, KY, with his estate left to wife, Nancy Fitzhugh, and children: George, John, Mary Marty, Gabriel, Sollaman (sic). Executor: Gabriel Fitzhugh. (This info from Sam Fitzhugh) (From Charleen: I have a photo of his headstone which Sam Fitzhugh took. Not all Peter's children were mentioned in his will.)
1787 Census: Bedford Co. Person Property Tax List A: Lists Peter.
Peter Fitzhugh was a native of VA, moved to Logan Co., KY, where he was afterwards engaged in general farming until his death. He served as a soldier in the war of 1812, enlisting with two of his brothers, both of whom were killed on the field of battle.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to Walter Guy Lane, it is significant that Peter began selling his land in Bedford Co. in 1797. Perhaps the fact that people were migrating westward to what is now Kentucky, but which before 1792 was considered a part of Virginia, prompted the Fitzhughs to plan on moving to a new frontier. In January 1797, Peter and his wife, Nancy, sold to Bartlett Gaskins for 25 Pounds, 100 acres of Stony Fork of Otter River in Bedford Co being part of a survey of 248 acres granted to Peter by patent Aug. 20, 1794. On August 28, 1797 Peter deeded to John Boise for 40 pounds a tract of 140 acres in Bedford Co. near the Peaks of Otter adjoining Bartlett Gaskins.
Then on Sept. 26, 1797 Robert Fitzhugh, Sr., and wife, Margaret, Peter Fitzhugh and wife, Nancy, Robert Fitzhugh, Jr. and wife, Anne, sold to John Boles for 60 pounds all these tracts of land at present in the possession of the said Fitzhughs, lying in Bedford County on the branches of Stony Creek and bounded by the lands of Robert Boles, Robert Rosebrook, Abraham Carnes, and the Heirs of Thomas Wood, deceased, containing about 155 acres. (Note: John Dawson's wife was Susan Wood, Daughter of John Wood.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to WGL: Peter's will is as follows: To wife, Nancy, ample support out of estate during her life. To son George improvements he made and one half of my claim in land containing 78 acres. To son John the remaining half of said claim including his improvements. To daughter Mary (Polly) Moultry 40 acres to pass through my farm parallel with the row of trees and on the upper end of my farm. To Gabriel and Solomon balance of land, including house where I live, containing about 80 acres. To wife Nancy all my personal goods.

557. Ursula Beverly, born Abt. 1729 in Blandfield, Essex Co, VA; died Aft. 1766 in VA. She was the daughter of 1114. Col William Beverly and 1115. Elizabeth Bland.
Notes for Col William Fitzhugh:
William (son of John "Marmion" Fitzhugh) rose to become a member of the VA House of Burgesses, like his father and grandfather, and was there privileged to witness one of the most far reaching events to occur in the New World. It was in 1765 when Patrick Henry, a firey orator, revolutionary, (and also a direct ancestor of ours through the marriage of his granddaughter to Philip Fitzhugh, William's grandson, offered his Resolution against the Stamp Act. The following year, 1766, William had the pleasure of a visit at Marmion from Thomas Jefferson. (Hist. of the F. Family)
1787 Census: King George Co. listed William and sons Daniel, Phil, Theodoric, Beverly
Col William Fitzhugh built the present mansion at the Marmion Estate. (I think that this is wrong and that it was build about the time of William's birth by his father Major John Fitzhugh.) The living room of this house is now in the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
According to the DAR PATRIOT INDEX, 1990, William Fitzhugh had Patriotic Service during the Rev.
There is recorded in King George a deed dated May 31, 1786, from William Fitzhugh, of Marmion, and Hannah his wife. Also a deed dated March 6, 1780, from William Fitzhugh, of King George County, conveying to his son Daniel Fitzhugh, 1,200 acres "where Rappahannock Quarter now stands," purchase by John Fitzhugh, father of said William from John Lisle, merchant, of London, by deed dated October 26, 1725, and recorded in Lancaster Co., July 13, 1726. He was probably the William Fitzhugh, Jr., who was major in the Stafford militia in 1752 (Cal. Va. State Papers). It is possible that he, instead of William Fitzhugh, afterwards of Maryland (who, as appears from a deed, lived in Cople parish, Westmoreland, in 1744), was burgess for Stafford 1748 and 1751. His will was dated March 13, 1789, and proved in King George June 2, 1791. Legatees: to wife her clothes, all her jewels, her gold watch, such furniture, plate and books as she should choose, the coach and horses, eight slaves, and, during her widowhood, the Marmion plantation mansion, with houses, gardens, orchards, a supply of groceries, &c., and also 60 pounds per annum. He states that he had provided for his sons, Daniel (McCarty) and Theoderick. Gives son John the negroes he had lent him. To son Philip the remainder of the estate not otherwise bequeathed. If son Robert should return to the State he is to have one shilling, "because at the commencement of the late war he quitted the business I had allotted for his living, since which I have heard nothing from him.' Son William Beverley Fitzhugh, two negroes. Daughter Lucy Campbell 600 pounds, Daughter Elizabeth 500 pounds if she marries, if not 25 pounds per year. Same provision for daughter Anna. Bequests to daughters Sall, Molly and Maria, and daughter Finch. William Hooe, of "Pine Hill,' and "my son-in-law" Alexander Campbell, executors. (Virginia Historical Magazine)
William Fitzhugh, son of John and Anna Barbara Fitzhugh, was baptized on May 14, 1725. God Fathers: Colonel John Tayloe and Daniel McCarty. God Mothers: Madam Sarah McCarty and Winwood (sic) McCarty.
Westmoreland Co., VA. Book V. p. 510 show that "John Fitzhugh of Stafford Country, Gent." married Anna Barbara, the eldest daughter of Daniel McCarty, Gent., of Westmoreland county before or about Dec. 5, 1715. (_St. Paul's Parish Register 1715-1798_ compiled by John Bailey Calvert Nicklin, p. 75, note 18)
In 1797 Marmion was purchased by Major George Lewis (1757-1821), nephew of George Washington, and is now in possession of his descendant Mrs. Robert Carter Nicholas Grymes (nee Lucy Lewis)---
this info is dated 1961. Doctor Robert Wellford (1753-1823), physician of Fredericksburg, was several days at Marmion attending Catherine (Daingerfield) Lewis (1764-1820), wife of Major George Lewis, in her last illness. As Doctor Wellford sat by the fire in the little parlour at Marmion on a cold day in February 1820 he wrote in his diary, reflecting upon former days:
"At the particular desire of Mrs. Lewis I remained the whole day in the house and slept on the subsequent night once more and for the last time in the little parlour in which room in time past I have witnessed such sociality and more merriment that in any other room in the whole course of my life. ....
Mr. William Fitzhugh, the hospitable owner of the mansion (Marmion) and the estate surrounding same, his sons, his brother Daniel, and his son William; the Rev. Thomas Thornton; that truly respectable Gentleman, the late William Fitzhugh (of Chatham); Mr. Grymes of the Wilderness and his namesake of Eagle's Nest; Mr. Robert Allison; Mr. John McCoy (with the musicians, Victor, Olliver, &c. in the subordinate range of assembly) formed a group not often collected together in the Northern Neck of Virginia. But they are all gone and 'the place that hath known them shall know them no more.' The worthy proprietors of this most hospitable mansion are also removed from the cares of this world and are (I sincerely hope) at rest in Heaven although the place of their interment in the Graveyard of the Old Orchard cannot (from the changes that have occurred) be easily found by their former friends and acquaintances."

Notes for Philip Fitzhugh:
Philip leased "Langley" from Henry Lee in 1805.
VA Historical Mag.: From a record in King George it appears that in 1797, "Marmion" was surveyed at the request of Philip Fitzhugh. It contained 1,821 acres, and the "Rappahannock Tract," adjoining, contained 792 acres. Both had belonged to William Fitzhugh, father of Philip. About 1800, is a deed in King George from Philip Fitzhugh and Charlotte, his wife, and Daniel McCarty Fitzhugh, and Ann, his wife, conveying the "Rappahannock Tract" to Hooe and Wallace. There is also in King George a deed dated June 9, 1804, from Philip Fitzhugh of Fairfax County, conveying land in King George to Daniel McCarty Fitzhugh, of Fairfax. Daniel Fitzhugh (no doubt the same) and Susanna Potter were married in King George, October 24, 1772. In a case in one of the Virginia reports, it is stated that Philip Fitzhugh, son of William Fitzhugh, of Marmion, inherited a very large real and personal estate; but died in 1807, utterly insolvent.

Notes for Cyrus Broyles:
Steve Broyles database:
Cyrus was named after Ziriakus Fleshman, his grandfather, and his name shows up as Ziriakus in the Hebron Church records in Virginia. His nickname seems to have been 'Caesar'. [1]
Like his brother Michael and sister Catharine, Cyrus lived to a ripe old age. He lived on Limestone Creek in Washington Co., TN, and shared a property line with his brother Nicholas. Cyrus seems to be the original owner of the Broyles mill. There is a mill ('the old Taylor mill') in present day Broylesville on Limestone Creek. It isn't clear whether this is Cyrus's mill, or one that was built later.
It appears that all of his children were by his first wife Mary. They are found in the lawsuit regarding the settlement of his estate. Note that several sources made an error in assigning Cyrus's daughter Mary, wife of John Stout, as a daughter of Adam Broyles, son of Conrad.
19 Mar 1761 - Cyrus buys 200 acres from his father. This land once belonged to his grandfather Fleshman, Madison Co., VA. Part of a patent to Ciriakus and Peter Fleshman. Sold to Jacob Broyles by John Shafer, 16 May 1754. [1] This purchase probably marks his marriage.
1 Sep 1761 - Tobias Wilhoite makes his will, and mentions daughter Mary Broile. {5JKB26},{W & M, 254} Given that Tobias and Mary had a son named Tobias, there can be no doubt that Cyrus's wife was the daughter of Tobias Wilhoit.
6 Sep 1782 - Cyrus Broyles and wife Mary sell 1761 land to William Herndon. Since wife Mary was sick and unable to attend the court, a commission was appointed to examine her privately, which was done 27 Sep 1782, at which time her consent was obtained. [1]
c. 1782 - Cyrus moves to Washington Co., TN. Noting that the above record showed that wife Mary was ill, it is possible that she died before the move to Tennessee, however, no record of his second wife Jean appears until 1797.
5 Aug 1783 - Nicholas Broiles and wife Dorothy sell in 2 deeds to Sirus Broiles, 100 and 320 acres on the north side of the Nolachuckey River, Washington Co., TN. [1]
16 Oct 1786 - Surus Broyles is granted 28 acres on the Little Limestone, "beg. at White tree, etc.", Washington Co., TN, joining Joseph Buller. [1] However, [77] gives this as North Carolina grant #683, and the year is 1784.
1787 - Cyrus Broyls is taxed for 400 acres, 2 polls, no slaves over 12 years old. Washington Co., TN. [54]35:113
6 Aug 1790 - Syrus Broils sells to son Daniel Broils 110 acres on the west side of Little Limestone, part of the grant to Joseph Buller. wit: Abraham Broyls, Solomon Yeager, Samuel Broyles. [1]
6 Aug 1790 - Syrus Broyls, farmer, sells to son Samuel Broyls 240 acres on the west side of Little Limestone. Below Syrus Broil's land to corner of Daniel Broils. wit: Abraham Broyls, Solomon Yeager, Daniel Broyle. [1]
1790...1801 - Cyrus/Syries Broyles is taxed for 100 acres and two black polls in Washington Co., TN. [56]
12 Sep 1797 - Cyrus Broyles sells to son Tobias Broyls, 100 acres on the north side of the Nolachuckey River, on the Little Limestone, with exception that said Cyrus Broyle and wife Jenny Broyls shall have possession of all appurtenances through life excepting so much as is necessary for the support of Tobias Broyles and family. wit: John McAllister, Daniel Broyles. [1]
19 Sep 1797 - Cyrus Broyles sells to Rosanna Broyles, widow of Reuben Broyles, dec'd, one lot of 1/2 acres on Little Limestone, joining Cyrus and to enclose her house. wit: Abraham Broyles, Samuel Broyles. [1]
19 Sep 1797 - Cyrus Broyle sells to Daniel Broyles, Tobias Broyles, and Rosanna Broyles, land on the Little Limestone, beginning on the line between Nicholas and Cyrus, and "including my grist mill." wit: John McAllister, Abraham Broyles. [1]
15 Sep 1806 - Cyrus Broyls sells a negro girl to John Stout. On same date, John Stout sells the negro girl to Samuel Broyl, to be delivered at the death of Syres Broyles. [1]
1 Jul 1809 - Tobias Broyles sells to Adam Broyles 100 acres on the Little Limestone with the reservation that Adam Broyles is not to have possession until after the death of Cyrus Broyles, Senr. and Jean, his wife. [1]
3 Jul 1810 - Daniel Broyles, Tobias Broyle, and Adam Broyle, Junr., sell to Thomas Telford land on the Little Limestone including Broyles mill and a set of sawmill irons. wit: Alexander M. Nelson, William Mitchell, and Ira Green. [1]
19 Oct 1813 - Cyrus Broyles sells to son-in-law Adam Broyles land on the Little Limestone. wit: Daniel Broyels and Samuel Broyles. [1]
1814...1819 - Cyrus is on the tax list of Washington Co., TN. He is taxed for 98 acres.
30 Apr 1818 - Cyrus Broyles sells to Adam Broyles a negro girl, daughter of Esther now in Cyrus's possession, and heretofore sold to John Stout but not to be delivered until the death of Cyrus. wit: Ira Green, Joseph H. Green. [1]
28 Feb 1826 - Cyrus signs a note for $75.00 to Adam Broyles. [1]
- He is said to have died when he was 94. [1] This would place his birth year as 1732.
4 Jul 1826 - Sale of Cyrus' estate. Among the buyers were: James Broyles, Isaac Broyles (grandchildren), Mary Broyles, Joshua Green, George Greenway, Gabriel Walker, Jona Prather, William Wilson, Allen Stout. Cyrus owed a total of $92.58 to Adam Broyles, and was owed $600 (William Vaught, husband of Lean Broyles), $24.50 & $8.00 (Thomas D. Broyles), and $99.70 (Tobias Broyles, then in Indiana.) [1] It is not clear who the Thomas D. Broyles is. Presumably he is a close relative, given that Cyrus seems to have only lent to his children and step-children. He might be either Cyrus's son Daniel, or Daniel's son Thomas.
1828 - Cyrus's estate is settled. [1]
19 May 1829 - Samuel Broyles sues Adam Broyles and wife (Rosannah), Daniel Broyles, William Rush and wife, children of Polly Stout, dec'd, John Lemons and wife (Rachel), Joseph Willet and wife, Tobias Broyles, and William royles (administrator of Adam Broyles, dec'd.) He sued in regard to the settlement of Cyrus's estate. [11]:35
16 May 1832 - The Court finds in favor of Samuel. Cyrus Broyles had divided his land among his children (15 Sep 1806), except Rachel and Rosannah whose husbands received cash. All children received an amount equal to $333.03. Samuel's complaint regarded a slave worth $300 given to Adam Broyles (Rosanna's husband) by Cyrus in 1818. This was not taken into account in the estate settlement. It is noted that sons Tobias and Daniel might not be solvent. [11]35

Notes for Tobias Wilhoite II:
Tobias Wilhoit (5/10/1750 Orange Co VA--7/1/1839 Pleasant HIll KY) and Mary (Polly) Shirley (1/4/1755-21/1/1844 Pleasant Hill KY)
Tobias was a Revolutionary War soldier (as noted on monument in Harrodsburg, KY). Mary was the daughter of James Shirley (b. 1735 or 39, England, served in Va. militia in Revolution) and Judith Garriott, daughter of Moses Garriott (French Huguenot).Much of the family (Judith was already married) moved to the Shaker community at Pleasant Hill, KY around 1806, converting after being impressed by the piety of two Shaker brothers who came to buy salt. Abram, Betsy, Desire, Lewis, Rhonda Ann, Nathaniel, Patsy, Polly Jr., Polly Sr., and Tobias {Wilhite} are all buried in the Shaker graveyard

643. Mary Catherine Fleishman, born 26 Jan 1703/04 in Badenm, Wurrtemburg, Germany; died Bet. 1744 - 1799. She was the daughter of 1286. Cyriachus Fleishmann and 1287. Anna Barbara Schone.
Notes for Hans Jacob Broyles:
Importation in the Colonies:
On petion (sic) of Jacob Bryoll in order to prove his right to take up land according to the Royall charter, made oath that he came into this country about nine years since in Capt Scott, and that this is the first time of his proving his said Importation where upon certificate is ordered to be granted him of the right to take up fifty acres of Land.
Notes from Steve Broyle Database:
Jacob made the voyage to America at the age of 12 with his father, mother, brother and sister. It appears that all of his children lived to adulthood. His descendants comprise the Broyles family, while his brother Conrad was progenitor of the Briles line.
2 May 1727 - Jacob Bryoll proved his right to take up land and was granted 50 acres. He apparently sold this right to Jacob Manspoil (see the entry below dated 3 Oct 1734). [1] On the same day his father did the same, and patented 200 acres. Jacob would thus appear to be on his own, and probably recently married.
28 Sep 1728 - Jacob Broil patented 400 acres in Spotsylvania Co., VA, St. George's parish, in the great fork of the Rappahanock River on Jacob Crigler's line. [2]:90
1734 - Jacob Broill is taxed for 1 tithe, in the precinct of John Mikell.
3 Oct 1734 - Jacob Manspoil receives a patent of 400 acres, based on the importation of 3 persons, including Jacob Bryell. (see 2 May 1727) [1].
28 Jul 1737 - Jacob and Mary Catherine Broyle buy 156 acres of land "by the river side" from Ziriakus Fleischman. On same date Ziriakus sold 200 acres to Henry Sluchter and wife Sarah. In 1743 he sold his remaining lands to Peter Fleshman. [1] We know from the church records of Neuenbürg in Germany that Ziriakus had two surviving children, Peter and Maria Catharina by his wife Anna Barbara. As well, he had a stepson Heinrich (Henry) Sluchter by one of Anna's previous husbands. [4]27:6 These transactions show that Jacob's wife Mary Catherine was the daughter of Ziriakus Fleischmann. If additional proof is desired, one need only look at their son Cyrus, the English form of Ziriakus.
Nonetheless, [1] also speaks of a tradition saying Jacob married a Wayland.
c. 1738 - He is taxed as 1 tithable in the precinct of John Mickell. [112]27:26
1739 - 1 tithable in the precinct of ( ), Orange Co., VA. [73]2:136
- Jacob Broyl is mentioned in the suit "Jacob Stover vs. George Home". He and John Landrum received a total of £16.15.0
28 Aug 1741 - Jacob Broyles sues John Sutton, claiming that in December 1739 he had sold cattle & hogs to a Thomas Botts who was to pay for them the following March, April, or market-time, but who had sold them to Sutton and run off. [1]
22 Feb 1742 - Jacob Broyl witnesses deed of John Thomas to Michael Thomas. [1]
23 Jan 1743 - Jacob Broyle witnesses sale of land by Ziriakus Fleshman to Peter Fleshman.
29 Jan 1743 - Isaac Smith sues Ludwig Fisher. Jacob Broyle is security for the defendent. [1]
10 Aug 1743 - He witnesses the will of John Nicholas Blankenbeeker. Signed his name "x". Orange Co., VA. [114]1 The will was probated 22 Sep? 1743, and 'dear friend Jacob Broil and eldest son Zacharias are named executors. [2]:85
11 Aug 1743 - He witnesses a codicil to the above will.
26 Jul 1744 - Jacob and Conrad Broil convey to Adam Wilhite 200 acres of land patented 24 Jun 1726 by John Broil. This was their inheritance, and would indicate that their mother had died.
25 Mar 1746 - Jacob Brayell reports, as executor, the value of Henry Fireback's property. Orange Co., VA. [114]2
25 Mar 1752 - Jacob Breil is a sponsor at the baptism of Zacharias, son of Zacharias Blankenbaker, born this date. Catherina Breilin was a sponsor of other of Zacharias' children. [1]
16 May 1754 - Jacob buys 200 acres from John Shafer. Culpeper Co., VA. [1]
19 Mar 1761 - Jacob sells to his son Cyrus 200 acres for "love and affection". This land is part of a patent to Ciriakus and Peter Fleshman. It had been sold to Jacob by John Shafer on 16 May 1754. [1]
3 Nov 1761 - Jacob's will is written. Culpeper Co., VA. [90]
17 Jan 1763 - "we the subscribers have met at the plantation of Jacob Broiles, dec'd. and have valued and appraised his estate." Adam Wayland, Adam Wilhit, Adam Yager. [57] The estate valuation is listed in [3]1:31. The date would appear to be in error because estate valuations took place after the will was proven and the executor or administrator was given power to settle the estate. Generally speaking, the probate (proving a will valid) occurred quickly after death, while it often took months or years to settle an estate. A possible explanation, given that the entry was for the first court in a new year, is that the clerk forgot the year had changed to 1764.
21 Apr 1763 - Jacob Brayell was named executor of the will of Matthias Blankenbaker. The court appointed John Blankenbecker as executor, which means that Jacob was either incapacitated or dead at this time. [2]:87
19 May 1763 - Jacob's will is probated. wit: Samuel Klug, Peter Fleshman, Robert Fleshman. [90]
18 Nov 1771 - Mary Catherine Broyle, Adam Broile, Matthias and Eve Broile sell 166 acres to John Glassell. This appears to refer to the 156 acre tract from Jacob's will. [2]:90
1776 - On the 17th Sunday after Trinity, Catharina Breilin is listed on the communion roll of Hebron Church. [113]20:386
Children of Hans Broyles and Mary Fleishman are:
i. Adam Broyles, born Abt. 1728; died 1782 in TN; married Mary Wilhoit 1760; died Unknown.
Notes for Adam Broyles:
Steve Broyles Database:
The identity of Adam's wife is a mystery. Prof. Keith had posited in [2] that she was Mary Wilhoit, daughter of Tobias. (Tobias Wilhoit made reference to his daughter Mary Broyles in his will.) It is now generally agreed that Mary Wilhoit married Cyrus Broyles, and that they named their son Tobias after Mary's father. Keith corrected his error in [1].
Judging from the land records in Virginia, and his estate inventory in Washington Co., TN, Adam would appear to have been the most financially secure of Jacob's sons.
Along with several of his brothers, Adam made the move from Virginia to Tennessee around the year 1780. Like them he also patented land in Kentucky, though he never took up the claim. His dreams were cut short by his untimely death at the age of 54 or so.
Eldest son Moses chose to stay in Virginia, but the rest of the children made the journey to Tennessee. After Adam's death, most of the children and their families moved to Pendleton District, SC (later Anderson Co.). Son Aaron achieved prominence there.
Note that there were several men by the name of Adam Broyles in East Tennessee at the same time. This Adam generally spelled his name without an 's' and the end.
10 Mar 1753 - Adam Broyle, assignee of George Moyer, patents 375a on Island Run, now called White Oak Run, adjacent to: Moyer's patent of 24 Jun 1726, Adam Yeager, Michael Kaifer, Christoper Moyer. (This looks like the area Harnsbarge and Motz patented.)
6 Aug 1754 - George Moyer sells to Adam Broyl 150 acres. This may mark his marriage. [1] Though, see next.
6 Aug 1754 - George Moyer, with "indenture of feofment" transfers 375a to Adam Broyle. Adam apparently sued Moyer and won the case.
1754 - The estate of William Nash, dec'd "to Adam Broile £6.10.6 ..." [57]A This deserves some investigation. Perhaps Adam's wife was William Nash's daughter, though this may be nothing more than a note.

[1] This was probably the 156 acres that Jacob Broyles had willed his son Matthias.

19 Apr 1782 - Soon after their arrival in Tennessee, Adam makes his will. wit: Conrad Willhight, Mathias Broyles, John Waddle. Exec: Joseph Brown, Moses Broyles, and William Moore. See [3]1:33 for the will.
May 1782 - The will is probated, Washington Co., Tenn. There is no mention of his wife, which indicates that she has already died. He does mention Kentucky lands.

22 May 1789 - Moses Broyles (Adam's son) transfers execution of his father's will to "trusty friend John Shields." [3]5:104 Though Moses was named an executor, he was living in Virginia, and would have thus been unable to complete his duties. (This date certainly looks suspicious; probably an error for 1782)

Notes for Jacob Broyles:
Notes from Steve Broyle database:
Like several of his brothers, Jacob seems to have made the move to Tennessee around the year 1780. He is also the only one of his father's sons to have married a woman of English ancestry. It is even possible he was the only grandson of Johannes Broyle to have done this.
His birthdate of 1735/36 is calculated from his placement in his father's will and the fact that he purchased land in 1756. His wife and children are listed by name in his will.

Apr 1799 - The will is probated by Ephraim and Matthias Broyles. [15]:95 However, [1] has evidence of a death date of 7 Jun 1799. This date is therefore in error, but it can certainly be said that Jacob died in the spring of 1799.

Notes for Cyrus Broyles:
Steve Broyles database:
Cyrus was named after Ziriakus Fleshman, his grandfather, and his name shows up as Ziriakus in the Hebron Church records in Virginia. His nickname seems to have been 'Caesar'. [1]
Like his brother Michael and sister Catharine, Cyrus lived to a ripe old age. He lived on Limestone Creek in Washington Co., TN, and shared a property line with his brother Nicholas. Cyrus seems to be the original owner of the Broyles mill. There is a mill ('the old Taylor mill') in present day Broylesville on Limestone Creek. It isn't clear whether this is Cyrus's mill, or one that was built later.
It appears that all of his children were by his first wife Mary. They are found in the lawsuit regarding the settlement of his estate. Note that several sources made an error in assigning Cyrus's daughter Mary, wife of John Stout, as a daughter of Adam Broyles, son of Conrad.
19 Mar 1761 - Cyrus buys 200 acres from his father. This land once belonged to his grandfather Fleshman, Madison Co., VA. Part of a patent to Ciriakus and Peter Fleshman. Sold to Jacob Broyles by John Shafer, 16 May 1754. [1] This purchase probably marks his marriage.
1 Sep 1761 - Tobias Wilhoite makes his will, and mentions daughter Mary Broile. {5JKB26},{W & M, 254} Given that Tobias and Mary had a son named Tobias, there can be no doubt that Cyrus's wife was the daughter of Tobias Wilhoit.
6 Sep 1782 - Cyrus Broyles and wife Mary sell 1761 land to William Herndon. Since wife Mary was sick and unable to attend the court, a commission was appointed to examine her privately, which was done 27 Sep 1782, at which time her consent was obtained. [1]
c. 1782 - Cyrus moves to Washington Co., TN. Noting that the above record showed that wife Mary was ill, it is possible that she died before the move to Tennessee, however, no record of his second wife Jean appears until 1797.
5 Aug 1783 - Nicholas Broiles and wife Dorothy sell in 2 deeds to Sirus Broiles, 100 and 320 acres on the north side of the Nolachuckey River, Washington Co., TN. [1]
16 Oct 1786 - Surus Broyles is granted 28 acres on the Little Limestone, "beg. at White tree, etc.", Washington Co., TN, joining Joseph Buller. [1] However, [77] gives this as North Carolina grant #683, and the year is 1784.

[1]

- He is said to have died when he was 94. [1] This would place his birth year as 1732.

Among the buyers were: James Broyles, Isaac Broyles (grandchildren), Mary Broyles, Joshua Green, George Greenway, Gabriel Walker, Jona Prather, William Wilson, Allen Stout.

[1] It is not clear who the Thomas D. Broyles is. Presumably he is a close relative, given that Cyrus seems to have only lent to his children and step-children. He might be either Cyrus's son Daniel, or Daniel's son Thomas.
1828 - Cyrus's estate is settled. [1]
19 May 1829 - Samuel Broyles sues Adam Broyles and wife (Rosannah), Daniel Broyles, William Rush and wife, children of Polly Stout, dec'd, John Lemons and wife (Rachel), Joseph Willet and wife, Tobias Broyles, and William royles (administrator of Adam Broyles, dec'd.) He sued in regard to the settlement of Cyrus's estate. [11]:35
16 May 1832 - The Court finds in favor of Samuel. Cyrus Broyles had divided his land among his children (15 Sep 1806), except Rachel and Rosannah whose husbands received cash. All children received an amount equal to $333.03. Samuel's complaint regarded a slave worth $300 given to Adam Broyles (Rosanna's husband) by Cyrus in 1818. This was not taken into account in the estate settlement. It is noted that sons Tobias and Daniel might not be solvent. [11]35

1056. Nicholas Copeland, born 1697 in Essex County, Virginia; died 1742 in Orange County, Virginia. He was the son of 2112. Joseph Copeland and 2113. Mary Elizabeth Woodley. He married 1057. Nancy Jane Lott.
1057. Nancy Jane Lott, died Unknown.
Notes for Nicholas Copeland:

By 1721, much of Essex was divided into three additional counties. These
were:
Spotsylvania County in 1721 which then changed in 1734 into ORANGE COUNTY.
This is where Nicholas Copeland died as a Surveyor of the Court in 1742. His
death is documented only because he was to appear in court as the court appointed
surveyor to give a written description of disputed land that was the focus of
a lawsuit. His two assistant surveyors presented the material requested by
the court and note that Nicholas Copeland was not present nor signed the
document in question since he had died prior to the Fall Term of Court, 1742.
In 1728 a portion of the northern section of Essex county became known as
CAROLINE COUNTY. Nicholas Copeland owned some land in this area which later went
to his son Peter Copeland. From this I have surmised that Peter was the oldest
son since he was the only one who did not leave Virginia and remained behind
while the other sons left for new lands opening up in North Carolina.
I offer this up to you to illustrate the man did not move any great distance.
But from 1651 until 1734 the region fell under several different name and
boundary changes. It may be even more confusing to know that Rappahannock
County was made up of three smaller parishes, one of which was known as Sittenburne
Parish, which is where Nicholas had his land, This parish changed its name
into two parishes: St. Mary's parish and St. Anne's parish. It is in the St.
Anne's parish in 1704 that Nicholas' land is then absorbed into the newly created
Essex County which was formed in 1692 with not so clearly defined boundary
lines.

Children of Nicholas Copeland and Nancy Lott are:
i. Joseph Copeland, born 1728 in Chatham County, North Carolina; died 1816 in Jefferson County, Tennessee; married Sarah Seahorn; died Unknown.

This is all I have about the Dill family Bible. The
gentleman from whom I got the info may have more
details. The "uncle William" who raised James is my
direct ancestor.
JAMES COPELAND was born in 1742 in Virginia and was
the last son born to NICHOLAS COPELAND and wife NANCY
LOTT. He was born in the year of his father's death.
His father was a surveyor and was killed before
providing his survey to the court in regards to a
legal battle over some contested land. It was at this
time that the Copelands and children appear in North
Carolina. Young James was raised by his
uncle William Copeland and wife Margery who was the
sister of Nancy Lott. James Copeland married Lydia
Dill who was the daughter of Peter Dill of Rowan
County, North Carolina. William Copeland lived on
Second Creek, before moving to Chatham County. Peter
Dill lived on Abbotts Creek. The marriage of Lydia
Dill to James Copeland is recorded in the JOHN DILL
BIBLE dated 1820 and records that they were married in
1769 in Salisbury. The Bible states that James is "
THE SON OF NICH. COPLAND OF VIRGINIA" and his bondsman
is " WM. COPLAND, his uncle." Records also indicate
that he lived in Sullivan County, TENN. which was once
a part of western North Carolina. Three land grants
were given to JOSEPH COPELAND - WILLIAM COPELAND_ and
JAMES COPELAND. James was a neighbor of Archibald
Dill, a cousin to LYDIA DILL COPELAND, who was living
close to him on the Long Island of the Holstein. In
1786 James tried to sell his land to a man named
RUSSELL. For whatever reason, the sale fell through.
James sold the land to his brother William and it was
witnessed by Joseph Copeland. William Copeland and the
man named Russell remained in this area and both were
signers of the petition for the State of Franklin.
Joseph Copeland went to Jefferson with his desc. being
born and buried in Overton. James Copeland and wife
Lydia went to Greenville, South Carolina. He appeared
on the 1790 Census for that county . He left in 1799
and went to Roane county, Tenn. and then to Madison
County, Alabama where he died in 1811. his son , James
Copeland, Jr (b. 1791 in SC) wife, and his mother
Lydia went to Wayne County, Tenn in the 1820s. They
are all buried in a family cemetery located now in
Hardin County.

1112. John "Marmion" Fitzhugh, born Abt. 1690 in "Bedford" Stafford, VA; died 21 Jan 1732/33 in Stafford Co, VA. He was the son of 2224. William "The Immigrant" Fitzhugh and 2225. Sarah Tucker. He married 1113. Anna Barbara McCarty 1719 in Overwharton parish, Stafford Co, VA.
1113. Anna Barbara McCarty, born 30 Nov 1702 in Westmoreland Co, VA; died 12 Dec 1737 in St Paul's parish, Prince William Co, VA. She was the daughter of 2226. Captain Daniel McCarty and 2227. Sarah Elizabeth Pope.
Notes for John "Marmion" Fitzhugh:
John Fitzhugh (son of Wm the Immigrant) owned the Marmion Estate. Ann Barbara McCarty was the daughter of Dennis McCarty. John Fitzhugh was known as Major John. In Feb. 1727, his name appears among many others as a Trustee in the founding of the Town of Falmouth, undoubtedly a commercial venture. There is also a letter written by one Anne Jones on June 27, 1732, in which she refers to Major John Fitzhugh's copper mine in VA. (Hist. of the Fitzhugh Family)
Marmion, probably built by John Fitzhugh early in 18th century and later named for Scott's poem. About 1785 it passed from Philip Fitzhugh to George Washington's favorite nephew, who died there. The place has come down in the Lewis family in direct line from him. The richly decorated interior is one of the best in Virginia. Location--King George County, 2.3 mi. west of King George (east of Fredericksburg)
(Source: _A Guidebook to Virginia's Historical Markers_ compiled by John S. Salmon. University Press of Virginia.)
Marmion still stands but is not open to the public.
Solomon Fitzhugh (1804-1884) who came to OR in 1849 is from this line.

Notes for Anna Barbara McCarty:
Excerpt from Bill McCarty's unfinished book ms., _The McCartys of the Northern Neck_:
Anna Barbara McCarty (1700-?) was the eldest (proven by the inscription that was on the McCarty tomb in Old Yeomocico church listing the children). She was born ca. 1700 (Capt. Daniel was m. 19 Oct 1699) and m. Major John Fitzhugh of MARMION in StafCo by 5 Dec 1715 (MRC:246*), (VMHB, VII: 317-19*). It appears that Anna Barbara was only 15 at the time of her marriage. We know that Capt. Daniel McCarty was pleased by this marriage because on 5 Dec 1715, he made a deed of trust of 9 negro slaves (six females with "one large girl" and three males) for the newlywed couple (WCo DB 5:510-13*). Another reason for his pleasure might have been that he was married to the widow (Ann Lee Fitzhugh of John's eldest brother (Wm Fitzhugh). Thus John Fitzhugh was both son-in-law and brother-in-law to Capt. D. McCarty. Even more indicative of his regard for John Fitzhugh, Capt. D. McCarty made him executor of his will and John Fitzhugh was to "take the tree youngest children" to raise. Perhaps Capt. D. McCarty remembered his own childhood when he had non-related guardians. By Maj. John Fitzhugh, Anna Barbara had seven children. In SPVF, this is described as the MARMION branch of the Fitzhughs.
1. Barbara Fitzhugh m. 6 Feb 1739 to Rev. William McKay
2. Elizabeth Fitzhugh
3. William Fitzhugh III who m. Ursula Beverley. Their son was also named Daniel McCarty Fitzhugh III. m. 2) Hannah?
4. Sarah Fitzhugh b. 30 April 1727, m. on 2 Apr 1747 to Francis Thornton.
5. Anna Fitzhugh
6. John Fitzhugh who m. Alice Thornton. Their tenth son was Daniel McCarty Fitzhugh III. (b. 9 May 1763; d. 2 May 1823. d.s.p.). Apparently, John m. 2) Elizabeth Harrison on 31 Jan 1760 at St. Paul's (MSVR:30).
7 Daniel McCarty Fitzhugh b. 28 June 1733, d. 1786. He m. 1) Elizabeth?, 2) Susanna Porter on 24 Oct 1772, and 3) Catherine ? (SPFV:565-566). (Note: there are three persons with the name of Daniel McCarty Fitzhugh between 1760 and 1786).

William A. Crozier, ed., _Westmoreland County Wills_ (Virginia County Record Publications, n.s. 1, 1913), p. 80, citing Will Book 16:
"Fitzhugh, Daniel 17 sept. 1777; 28 Mar 1786

===============================
From _The Register of Overwharton Parish Stafford County Virginia 1723-1758_ compiled and edited by George Harrison Sanford King, 1961
Daniel Fitzhugh (1733-1786) married three times and left issue a child by each wife, viz: (1) Catherine, probably nee Hore, who is mentioned as a granddaughter of John Triplett of King George County in a deed there in 1766 - she was the mother of his only son, William Fitzhugh, mentioned by Doctor Wellford; (2) in 1771 to Alice Riden (Riding) and (3) in 1772 to Susanna Potter. By his last will and Testament of record in Westmoreland County, William Fitzhugh (I think the author must mean Daniel) requested that he be buried "in my brother William's burial ground." Daniel Fitzhugh's will was dated September 17, 1777 and recorded March 28, 1786; it indicates his three wives predeceased him. Jane, his daughter by his second wife, married on June 17, 1790 Henry Dade Hooe, and Susanna, his daughter by his third wife, married on May 13, 1790 Rice Wingfield Hooe.

1115. Elizabeth Bland, born 29 May 1705 in Jordan's, Prince George Co, VA; died Unknown. She was the daughter of 2230. Richard Bland and 2231. Elizabeth Randolph.
Notes for Col William Beverly:
No record of the dates of the birth and death of Col. William Beverley had been preserved, although it was thought he was born about 1696 and died about 1756. But on April 16, 1929 a gold "mourning ring" was unearthed, while working a road in the town of Urbana, a few miles from "Blandfield", by Mr. J. Walter Hazlewood. On this ring, which is in perfect condition and a beautiful piece of art, is inscribed "The Hon. William Beverley, Ob. Feb. 28, 1756, al 60". It is evidently one of the old time "mourning rings", which it was customary in the 18th and part of the 19th centuries, in Virginia, for persons of position to provide by will, as gifts of remembrance to their children, grandchildren, and closest friends. This ring was purchased from Mr. Hazlewood by the late William Beverly of Winchester, a great great great grandson of Col. William Beverley, and give to his sister Rebecca Duval Beverley who now, 1-'45, has it.
(from _The Beverley Family of Virginia_ p. 535)
Before 1750 William Beverley (1698-1756), son of Robert Beverley, the historian and grandson of Robert Beverley, the immigrant, build Blandfield, which he named for his wife, Elizabeth Bland. He acquired this large plantation about 1730. Blandfield was stripped of its fine paneling when the parches were added seven years before the War between the States. During the war much of the furniture and all the portraits were taken away by Union soldiers. (p.451---but of what book?

Notes for Robert Beverly:
Like the sons of many other wealthy Virginians, Robert Beverly was educated in England. Upon his return to the Colony, unlike other young well-to-do Virginians, he sought no political post, but led a quiet life with his friends and family. The only office he ever held was that of Magistrate. He was once elected to the State Legislature--1780--but did not take his seat. He was so conservative that at the time of the Revolution his feeling was that the Colony should not break away from the mother country. In addition to "Blandfield", he owned the "Elkwood tract" of 13,000 acres in Culpeper Co., which he left to his son Munford, who sold in in 1805 to Daniel Grinnon, who built" Presque Isle", which is still standing (in the 1940s) and owned by the Willis family.

Notes for Johann Michael Willheit:
Source: Paul E. Lawrence - Johann remained in Germany until 1717 and it is said that he spent a few years in England before coming to America about 1720 but no record of him has been found in England. A ship record has not been found. The first record of him in America was when he bought land from agents of Gov. Spotswood. Of his children born in Germany, only two, Tobias and Johannes, show up alive in VA. The two wives of Johann are cousins. The dates of the various records (birth, marriage, and death) are as given in the Schwaigern records, but this was at the time of the change-over from the old to the new calendar. Warren Wilhite says, "It was not that any hanky-panky was going on, they just didn't know what year it was. It even caused riots in England". Michael made a will January 1, 1742 in Orange Co., VA Text is located at Paul E. Lawrence website. He is believed to have been a member of the second Germanna Colony established in 1717. The firs Germanna Colony consisted of Germans recruited by Governor Alexander Spotswood from the Naussau-Siegen area as skilled laborers for his iron works. These immigrants have been thoroughly researched and documented. The second colony established in 1717 has been more of a mystery. Much of the mystery has been resolved by the examination of records in Wurttemberg and Baden by Cerni and Zimmerman in "Before Germanna No.1". "The member of the second colony, comprised of Lutherans, left Germany on 12 July 1717 for Pennsylvania. Their choice of vessel was unfortunate. The vessel made the customary stop in London, but the colonists were detained for several weeks while the captain of the vessel was imprisoned for debt. Food supplies dwindled while the passengers waited for the captain's release. Starvation claimed several lives at sea. There are no details of the crossing but the captain did not land in Pennsylvania. Instead he took the approximately 100 passengers to Virginia where he sold them as indentured servants to Spotwood to pay for their passage and confiscated their belongings. Spotswood may have recognized the injustice done these immigrants, but he nonetheless profited from the situation to extract eight years of indentured labor from them. They were not released until 1725 a year longer than was customary." Even though he was not among the 19 colonists being sued by Spotswood, the belief that Johann was part of the second colony is based on the fact that his name disappears from parish records in Schwaigern after 13 Dec. 1715, the birth of his son, Johan Cristian; he was granted land at the same time in 1724 and in the same Robinson River area as other recognized members of the second colony; and his family attended the Hebron Church in Orange County where the German Lutherans of the second colony worshipped.

Notes for Catherine Broyles:
Info from Steve Broyles Database:
That Catherine is a daughter of Johannes Broyle is proven by the land transactions
26 Jul 1744 - Jacob Briel and Conrad Briel sell 200 acres to Adam Wilhite. Jacob and Conrad were well established at this time and had their own land. This land they had just inherited from their father, whose will directed that it be split among his surviving children after his wife's death. Since Jacob and Conrad comprise two shares of their father's estate, and Johannes owned 400 acres at his death, we can conclude that there were two other surviving children of Johannes. We can also assume they were daughters since there are no other references found to additional male heirs. This deed also states that Adam was already in possession of the 200 acres. In other words, he was already living there. [1]:23
30 Mar 1763 - Adam makes his will, probated 21 Jul 1763, Culpeper Co., VA. He makes bequest to wife Catherine, and names the above children. Exec: Adam Broyle and Nicholas Broil. Wit: John Wayland, William Eastham, Jacob Broil. [1] The executors and witnesses are all Adam's nephews via his wife's brother Jacob, with the exception of William Eastham.
The will directs the distribution of Adam's 300 acre estate by leaving son George 100 acres to be laid off lengthwise, and sons John and Michael to receive 200 acres laid off with a cross line. We know that he acquired 200 acres in the deed noted above, but there is no record of him acquiring any additional acreage. We believe he acquired it through his wife Catharine as part of the settlement of Johannes Broyles' estate. No deed would have been necessary for this sort of transfer.
It appears then that Adam and Catharine married c. 1740 and came to live with Ursula Broyles, widow of Johannes. When she died a few years later they acquired adjoining pieces of the tract from Jacob and Conrad

Source: Website for Broyles Family by George W. Durman
Johannes Breyhel, son of Conrad and Margaretha (Schelling) Breyhel, was christened 1 May 1679, in Dußlingen (Dusslingen), Württemberg (Wuerttemberg), just south of Tübingen (Tuebingen) in present day Germany. For reasons unknown he moved about 50 miles away to Ötisheim (Oetisheim), probably around 1700, where on 6 Nov 1703 he married Ursula RUOP, daughter of a local grave digger. It is in Ötisheim that they raised their family. A number of their children died as infants: Conrad (who was a twin to Hans Jacob), Mattheus, and probably also Jerg Martin. In the tradition of the times they used the name Conrad again for their fourth child.
Johannes and family emigrated to Virginia in the summer of 1717, with about twenty other families from nearby villages. Gov. Spotswood of Virginia, who paid their passage in return for an indenture of seven years, settled them at "Germanna" where he had located an earlier group of German immigrants in 1714. (Germanna is located where Virginia Rte. 3 crosses the Rapidan River west of Fredericksburg.) (Added Note: The "2nd Colony" arrived in Virginia on the ship, "Scott", whose Captain was Tarbett.)
Johannes proved his importation to America on 2 May 1727, as John BRYOLL. It was about this time that many of the Germanna immigrants moved to present day Madison Co., VA, took up land, and founded the Hebron Lutheran Church. John's son Jacob (Hans Jacob) was the progenitor of the BROYLES family, and son Conrad was progenitor of the BRILES family, while his daughter Catherine, through her marriage to Adam WILHITE, is a "grandmother", to a major portion of all the WILHITE/WILHOIT descendants in America today .
It is believed, though not proven, that Johannes and Ursula had additional children after arriving in America. They were certainly young enough. Based on the records of land sales, it is certain that Adam WILHEIT's (WILHITE's) wife Catherine was a daughter of Johannes and Ursula. She would have been born circa 1720. One probable son, "Christley Browel", is mentioned in the 1739 tithable list of Orange Co., VA. From this it would be expected that he was born circa 1718. He must have died or left the area by 1744, the year Jacob and Conrad sold their part of their father's farm. Based on the order of tax taking and comparing it to the Carpenter map of original land patents in Madison Co. (nicely updated in a recent Beyond Germanna), Christley seems to have been living with Matthias Smith, or nearby.
One other mystery, concerns a name, or names, found on the Tithe Lists for present-day Madison County, VA (then Orange County). On the 1736 Tithe List, there is listed a Cotley Broyle. On the 1739 Tithe List, there are listed Christley (Christian?) Browel and Cortney Browel. Some researchers think this is evidence of a heretofore unknown Broyles; however NO other written documentation of such a person has ever been found. To further the mystery, Johannes Breyhel (John Broyles) had two known sons, Hans Jacob and Conrad. A Jacob Broyle is listed on the 1739 Tithe List; Conrad does not show up. Is it possible that the "Cortney" or "Christley" or "Cotley" Broyle/Browel is, in fact, Conrad Broyles?
Update on the Cotley/Christley/Cortney BROYLES Mystery: Thanks to Steve Broyles, some of this mystery has been cleared up. Here is an extract from a post Steve made to the GERMANNA_COLONIES Mailing List on 14 December 2000:
"It turns out that the name Curt is a nickname of Conrad. This may be surprising to us English speakers, but it is no more strange than Dick being a nickname of Richard, or Bill being a nickname of William.
"Little Curt" is Curtle/Curtli and the like. English speakers use a variation of this idea by adding an 'ee' sound to the end of a name, e.g., Billy, Stevie, Bobby, etc. The name Curtli could be rendered any number of ways by English speakers. Courtley is certainly among them, and it's only a tiny leap to get to Courtney or Cotley.
"Christley, on the other hand, is a distinct name. I've examined the tax list handwriting and it is clearly Christley, and not some other name. Christley looks to be a nickname for Christian, but I have not confirmed this. In any case, I've assumed that Christley Browel was a son of Johanne and Ursula, born in VA after their arrival, probably 1718, based on his appearance in the poll list of 1739 when he was 21. Ursula would have been in her 30's when he was born, and, generally speaking, we'd expect them to have had children on this side of the pond. Christley's birth, c. 1718, also explains the fact that he doesn't show in earlier lists. What happened to him is not known. I'd love to know if he is found on any tax lists after 1739.
"Jacob and Conrad, sons of John Broyles, sell 200 acres of John's estate in 1744. Since John appears to have owned 400 acres at his death, we might expect that he had four heirs. One is certainly daughter Catherine. The other is unknown, leaving room for a son such as Christley."

Info from Steve Broyles database
Johannes and Ursula are the progenitors of the Broyles, Broiles, and Briles families in America.
Though born in the village of Dusslingen in Württemberg, Johannes moved, perhaps around the year 1700, to Ötisheim, a small village approximately 40 miles north as the crow flies. There he met and married Ursula Ruop, daughter of a local gravedigger. And there he and Ursula began raising their family.
Johannes' father Conrad was a farmer, and Johannes was the eldest son, thus entitling him to a good inheritance, but he forsook this to make his living as a weaver in Ötisheim. Perhaps it was this sense of trying the unknown that prompted him and Ursula to join a group of families making the voyage to the New World.
There can be no doubt that Johannes and Ursula Breyhel of Ötisheim are identical to John and Urseley Broyle of Germanna. The names and ages of their children match perfectly with what is known, and they disappeared from the Ötisheim records at just the right time.
1717 - Johannes and family emigrate to America with about 20 other German families, and come to live at Germanna, in Virginia.
24 Jun 1726 - John Prial is granted 400 acres in the "first fork of the Rapidan River." [1]
2 May 1727 - John Bryoll proves his importation. He is granted the right to take up 200 acres. He states that he came to this country about nine years since with Captain Scott, and that he brought with him his wife Urseley, and children Conrad and Elizabeth. On the same day, Jacob Bryoll (John's son) proves his right to take up land, and is granted 50 acres.
7 Mar 1732 - John Broyle makes his will, Spotsylvania Co., Va., Book A, page 209: "I, John Broyles, being willing to setel my affairs, knowing that in this trancitory life we are in ye mids of death. I does after by wife's deceas leve my land, Goods, and catel to be "be" equally divided amongst all my children mail and female as witness hand. This being my last will Testament his John / Broyles mark wit: Michael Holt, Balthasar (Paultus) Blankenbaker, and Nicholas Blankenbaker.
5 Feb 1733 - At a court held for Spotsylvania County: "Urseley Broyle, widow of John Broyle decd Exhibied the above will which was proved by oath of Paultus Blankepaker one of the witnesses thereto and desired the same might be recorded which was granted."
26 Jul 1744 - Jacob and Conrad Broil convey to Adam Wilhite 200 acres of land patented 24 Jun 1726 by John Broil, and bequeathed to them. This was their inheritance, and would indicate that their mother had died. Since it appears that John Broil owned 400 acres at his death, this would also indicate that he had four children who survived him, because the estate was to be divided equally among his heirs

Notes for William "The Immigrant" Fitzhugh:
William (the Immigrant) Fitzhugh came to America about 1674 (or 1670 depending on who you believe). He was well educated, a shrewd business man, a lawyer, and was religious. His church was the established church of England. The only thing he regretted about America was the lack of good schools. He wrote: "Good education of children is almost impossible and better be never born than ill bred." He owned 54,000 acres or more of land with four big houses on them. The houses were Eagle's Nest, Bedford, Bellaire, and Boscobel. ( I need to look up the documentation for this.)
William Fitzhugh came to Westmoreland County, a young lawyer whose family may have been descended from the Fitzhughs, barons of Ravensworth. The family coat of arms had been recorded in 1566 and if his view of life was thus somewhat baronial there was nothing in the new world to stand in the way of achieving his ideal. Lord Culpepper before him had laid claim to all of the Northern Neck of Virginia and had proved his claim and Robert Carter after him was to carve an actual Kingdom from the new territory. (We now know that it's the wrong coat of arms and that he was NOT descended from the barons of Ravensworth.)
William Fitzhugh married Sarah Tucker of Westmoreland and moved to Stafford County where he built Eagle's Nest near the Potomac. He practiced law, served in the House of Burgesses and was a Lt. Col. in the Stafford militia. He was also agent for the Fairfaxes who inherited the Northern Neck from Lord Culpeper. It was during this tenure that he confirmed the grant of Ravensworth in what was then upper Stafford County. He had bought the grant from a man named John Matthews in 1685 and had it regranted and finally confirmed by 1694. His was 21,996 acres paralleling the (John) Alexander grant, later Alexandria, and covering the approximate territory from what is now part of Falls Church to Pohink Church and from the present Fairfax Court House almost to Alexandria.
Colonel Fitzhugh was not, as some of the historical novelists would have us believe our forefathers were, unscrupulous, brash, and fascinatingly immoral. The records indicate that he was religions, hones, and a fine lawyer, quoted the Scriptures while pleading a case. He was very sympathetic to French Huguenots who fled France when the Edict of Nantes was revoked by Louis XIV. Unlike the Sun King, he looked upon them as the most desirable of citizens and offered them land to settle.
At his death Colonel Fitzhugh left approximately 54,000 acres of land in Virginia besides property in Maryland and England to his five sons and one daughter. The Ravensworth tract was divided between two sons, Henry and William, Henry receiving 12,585 acres to the north and William a little over 9,000 to the south.

Richard Cary sells to Wm Fitzhugh, the grandfather of Wm Fitzhugh and whereas Wm Fitzhugh did by will Oct 1701 give unto his son George all the land he bought of Mr. Cary.
"June 14, 1682. Minutes of Board of Trade and Plantations. The addresses of the Assembly and the Governor of Virginia, and several speeches of Mr. Fitzhugh were read, showing the people are extremely desirous of a cessation of planting tobacco."
In a letter dated April 22, 1686, William Fitzhugh describes his dwelling house: "Upon this same land is my own dwelling house furnished with all accommodations for a comfortable and gentle living, with rooms in it, four of the best of them hung (with tapestry), nine of them plentifully furnished with all things necessary and convenient, and all houses for use, furnished with brick chimneys, four good cellars, a dairy, dove cote, stable, barn, henhouse, kitchen and all other conveniencys, and all in a manner new, a large orchard of about 2,500 apple trees, most grafted, well fenced with a locust fence, which is a durable as most brick walls, a garden a hundred foot square, well paled in, a yard wherein is most of the aforesaid necessary houses palisaded in more lasting than any of our bricks."

It is out of print. In the fall of 1996 Cousin Elizabeth Butler of Fredericksburg, VA informed me that there were still some copies at the VHS. I called, ordered my copy (they still had "a couple of dozen" copies), and then e-mailed all my Fitzhugh contacts. In 1 1/2 weeks all the copies were gone.....for the 1963 price of $10.00! The only way it can be obtained now is to have a bookstore do a search.)

Notes for Sarah Tucker:
"In that same year, 1674, Rose's daughter, Sarah (Tucker), who had reached the age of eleven, was chosen by William Fitzhugh to be his bride. And, Rose apparently consenting to the marriage, recorded her deed of gift 26 August 1674, written the day before (Ibid., pp.200-201, Abstractors Vol 3 p 10) 'In consideration of a marriage had and contracted between Wm. Fitzhugh and my eldest daughter Sarah'---
giving to him numerous items, including two negroes, cattle, a gelding, jewelry and many household items 'from the place known as Mr. Tucker's Plantation;, no doubt fulfilling part of the wording of Sarah's father's will.
"The story is well told in 'Wm Fitzhugh and his Chesapeake World' (1963) - R. B. Davis, Introduction pp 10, 11, saying that 'Family tradition insists that the young husband sent his wife to England for two years of education before the marriage should be consummated,' etc. As related also, young William Fitzhugh, bpt 1651, Bedfordshire, England, had come alone to the Colony of Virginia, apparently to try his fortune, and settle in Westmoreland Co., then later in Stafford Co. where in 'two and a half years after his marriage, the young lawyer-planter was elected to the House of Burgesses from Stafford Co.' He became a prominent citizen and large land holder."

Notes for Esq. William "Eagles Nest" Fitzhugh:
Captain William Fitzhugh of "Eagle's Nest" inherited 1800 acres of land in Stafford and Westmoreland Counties. He was the Justice of Stafford Co., and High Sheriff in 1707; member of the House of Burgesses in 1700, and a Governor of the College of William and Mary in 1702.
William Fitzhugh inherited under his father's will 18,723 acres of land in Stafford and Westmoreland; was residuary legatee of all lands not bequeathed, and rights to lands in Virginia, Maryland and England; eight negroes; 18 pieces of silver plate; L200 sterling out of his father's money in England; half the household furniture; "my own and my wife's pictures, the other six pictures of my relations, and the large map in the study", half of his father's "study of books", & c. He was appointed clerk of Stafford county, July 18, 1701, and was a member of the House of Burgesses for that county, 1700, 1701 and 1702 (Stafford Records). Possibly he was a member in other years. On Dec. 13, 1711, the Lords of Trade and Plantations presented a representation to the Queen, recommending William Fitzhugh, Esq., as a person fully qualified to fill a vacancy in the Council, being a good estate, and being well affected towards her Majesty's government (Sainsbury Abstracts). The appointment made on Dec. 19 and Fitzhugh took the oaths in Virginia, October 15, 1712 (Council Journal). His tenure of office was short, for his last appearance in Council was in Nov. 8, 1713, and Jan. 27, 1713-14, there is an entry in the Council Journal that he was dead. Besides the offices named, Wm. Fitzhugh was a justice of Stafford, and high sheriff in 1707. If he made a will it was doubtless recorded in Stafford, but the books of that date have been lost. He married Ann, daughter of Richard Lee, Esq., of Westmoreland county (member of the counci)l. (Sent to me by Ruth and Robert Teesdale)

Later became a Tobacco Agent, Justice of the Peace and Burgess, and was know as "Blind Henry" because, judging by his portrait, he had one bad eye.
Henry, born at Eagles Nest, built the Bedford Estate in VA, married, and died there. (p.171) He and Susannah had 9 children (p.172)
(History of the Fitzhugh Family pp. 55 and 56)

Notes for Captain Daniel McCarty:
Daniel McCarty, Esq. buried : Old Yeocomico Church, VA. He was Burgess, Justice and Sheriff of Westmoreland, in 1715-20; he was speaker of the Assembly.
The Southern Churchman, in 1999 published the following:
"Close to the base of the right and east gable is the rocky foundation of a vault, to size 15x18 feet; it is now a grassy mound with several cedar trees growing up it. Near the center of this mound is a gray stone tablet, much defaced by time. and it was only after repeated efforts that I have finally suceeded in making out the inscription, which is as follows: 'Here lyeth the body of Daniel McCarty, who departed this life the fourth of -----1724. In the forty-fifth year of his age. He was endowed with many virtues and good qualifications, but the actions proceeding from them bespeak their praise. Here also lyeth the body of Thaddeus McCarty, youngest son to Danile McCarthy (sic), Esq., who died the 7 of Frebruary, 1731, in the 19th year of his age. "Near this place likewise is the body of Penelope, wife to Daniel McCarty, second son of Daniel McCarty, Esq., and daughter to Christine Higgens, Gent, who departed this life the 26 of March, 1732, in the 19 year of her age, with one child."

Immigrant to Westmoreland County and worshipped at Yeocomico, between the years 1655 and 1706, according the Rev. J. Poynte Tyler in _Colonial Churches_, p. 302.
"In 1705 and 1706 he was one of the representatives from Westmoreland County to the House of Burgesses. The Journals of that body show that on October 20, 1705, the House "Resolved that Mr. George Eskridge and Mr. Daniel McCarty are Duly Returned Burgesses to serve in this Present
General Assembly for the County of Westmoreland", and in the same month he was appointed one of the four members of the "Committee for Privileges and Elections." On August 3rd, 1715, he was elected Speaker of the House of Burgesses succeeding Peter Beverley, and on April 23rd, 1718, he was
elected to the same important office. It has been said that this session over which Daniel McCarty presided, was "chiefly memorable for a bitter quarrel between Governor Spotswood and the House of Burgesses", and the session of 1718 is also described in the preface of the printed Journals as "one of the most exciting that occurred in Virginia colonial history." It required much tact and good judgment on the part of the presiding officer to meet the situations that arose over the bitter quarrel between the Governor and the House. McCarty, however, seems to have been held in high esteem by his fellow members and on May 20th, 1718, the House passed the following resolution: "That the sume of One hundred pounds out of the money in the Treasurer's hands be paid to the Speaker as a token of the Respect the House beares him." Still quoting: Daniel McCarty secured a number of patents [for land],
and his landed properties at the time of his death were situated in four counties, viz: Westmoreland, Richmond, Stafford, and Prince William, and four years after his death his executors acquired for his estate another tract of land in Spotsylvania County. Listed in his inventory was "The Library of Daniel McCarty", (considered quite extensive) and in his will, couched in all the extravagant wordage of the time, he disposes of a large estate of lands, houses, slaves, jewelry and plate of much value. Copy pp. 11, 12, 13. His Executors were: Col. John Tayloe; Humphrey Pope; Nicholas Minor; Daniel Peachy. His name is listed with others on the Memorial Gateway Tablet at entrance to Yeocomico Churchyard. Also listed among the Speakers of the House of Burgesses on a Memorial plaque in old Bruton Church, Williamsburg.

Lee, shall think fit objects of charity. Item. It is my will if please God my wife survives me and lives until the last ten Negroes allotted to be bought for her use aforesaid, is bought for her, that then I give her liberty at any time in her life or at her death to dispose of any two of them or their increase if she remains single or is married at the time and to such person or persons as she is pleased or to declare she desires should have them. I give & confirm the said two Negroes according to her desire. Item. The mill called Flynt’s Mill, which I have lately agreed for, & bought & paid for, I give to my son Daniel & his heirs forever. Item. It is my will that accounts of my estate be fairly kept & annually made up & returned to Westmoreland Court, debts & credits and if increase to pay said to my younger sons or the survivors of them to have the benefit thereof or to bear the loss if it decreases. I will that John Warner serve the rest of his time in the employment as now to teach school and the writing for my estate as my trustees shall order and that his wife remain with him to be employed as my wife shall think fit for my family’s service and, if they behave well to the end of their servitude, I then order that they be both clothed well from or with a Carolina hat & black hood, cloth drugget stuff, good dowlix or Irish lining each three shifts & a pair of shoes & worsted hose and I also give him my surveyor’s instruments & appurtenances and one hundred acres of my land at Aquia during his life. But if he misbehaves then it is my desire they have justice as the law directs and no more. But if my wife is not pleased with this my will, so that she will take what the law allows, then it is my will & I do hereby order that Mr. Humphrey Pope come & live on my now dwelling plantation as master there & look after that & all my other plantations, keep the account to the others and have thirty pounds sterling annual wages & a horse of my estates to do my business until my son Daniel arrives to twenty years of age. And that Mr. John Fitzhugh take my three youngest children to his house & John Warner & his wife to teach & serve them and that they be in all respects supported & maintained out of my estate and the charges thereof annually given in court. Item.

Item. It is my will that all the gold in my purse, that my daughter Sarah made for me, being at the time of my death be hers & to her my said daughter I give the same over and above what I have before given her.

Notes for Sarah Elizabeth Pope:
Married first to William Payne, by whom she had 4 children, whose descendants are listed in "Paynes of Virginia," by Co. Brooke Payne.
W. M. McCarty says Capt. Daniel McCarty's will mentions his first wife's children Elizabeth Sherman (Sturman?) and Mary Burns (nee Payne).
Arthur Leslie Keith in William & Mary Quarterly writes: "Col. Daniel McCarty was buried at Yeocomico Church. Daniel's tombstone in "West'd Co., near Montross" now erased by time read:
"Here lyeth the body of Daniel McCarty, who departed this life the forth of May, 1724, in the forty-fifth year of his age. He was endowed with many virtues and good qualifications, but the actions proceeding from them bespeak their praise. Here also lyeth the body of Thaddeus McCarty, youngest son to Daniel McCarty, Esq. He died the 7th of February, 1731, in the 19th year of his Age. Near this place Like Wise is the Body of Penelope, Wife to Daniel McCarty, Second son of Daniel McCarty, Esq., and daughter to
Christine Higgins, Gent., who departed this life the 26th of March, 1732, in the 19th year of her age, with one Child." In 1907 as his tomb was being righted, an unknown and unsuspected slab was found beneath his tomb. This slab is hopelessly defaced in places, but it still gives very valuable information. It marks the burial place of Elizabeth, first wife of William Payne and second of Daniel McCarty." It

2229. Ursula Byrd, born 29 Nov 1681 in VA; died 31 Oct 1698 in Jamestown, VA. She was the daughter of 4458. William Byrd I and 4459. Mary Horsmanden.
Notes for Robert Beverly, Jr.:
Robert Beverley, Jr., historian of Virginia, the second son of Major Robert Beverley, was "born on his father's dwelling plantation in Middlesex Co., and was sent thence, for education, to England, being there at the time of his father's death in 1686."
He inherited the "Poropotank" plantation, in Gloucester Co. and "Beverley Park", in King and Queen Co., upon which basis he served as Clark for that county. He owned considerable other property and was well off.
He was interested in agriculture, especially in the growing of grapes for wine and thought that the production of wine should be developed in America as one of its industries, and he did some experimental work on that subject.
He is best known, however, for his "History of the Present State of Virginia", which for many years was used in the schools and had six editions in all---one being translated into French, followed by two 'pirated' editions of the French translation.
(from _The Beverley Family of Virginia: Descendants of Major Robert Beverley (1641-1687) and Allied Families_ compiled by John McGill (Deceased 1951), The R. L. Bryan Company, Columbia, SC, 1956.)
The second Robert Beverly (1673-1722), in 1705 published his _History and Present State of Virginia_, which included an unbiased account of his father's career. The work has survived for two centuries, because of its originality, shrewd observations, and humorous comments. (p. 453 but of what book?)
The eleven hundred and eighty-fifth note in a series on the Germanna Colonies:
About 1710, Robert Beverley, the historian, had marked 13,000 acres beyond the frontier which he proposed to patent. The size of the tract alone tells us that he was beyond civilization. Otherwise, it would be impossible to find a tract of that size in one piece. We know where the land lay; it was stretched out on the south side of the Rapidan River above (to the west) of where the future Fort Germanna would be built.
Just a slight discourse here on the procedures that were involved. First, one had to find land to which no one else had any pretensions. What constituted a pretension? Some markers with your name on them. A common form of marker was to shave a spot on the side of a tree down to the wood and then to carve one's initials into this. When an area was rapidly developing and several people might be looking for land, there could be an element of compromise. Legally, one should file for a patent on the land as soon as possible. This involved getting the land surveyed which cost money. Then one paid the fees to the colony which might be in the form of head rights or cash. Once the patent issued, your pretensions were now embedded in law. Still, it paid to keep your boundary markers in place so that all comers would know the extent of one's claim. The more expensive part of proving up the land was the requirement that it be developed with a certain amount of land cleared, an orchard planted, and a house built.
When a person set his initial boundary markers, he had in mind that he wanted a certain number of acres. But when he set his boundaries, he had only a crude idea of how much land was included. The rule was probably to be generous to yourself and set the boundaries a little bigger than for the
number of acres you had in mind. When the surveyor came, you might tell him that you wanted 400 acres surveyed and he would find that amount in your claim. Probably though there would be a little extra left over in that your initial claim was larger than the surveyor would measure out. Just because your initial estimate was oversize, one did not retreat to the surveyed boundaries. One left the original markers and told everyone who inquired that these markers were your boundaries even though you did not have a legal claim to the extra land.
Later when you were a little better off financially, you might call the surveyor in again for a resurvey that was made to the extent of the original markers which you had been claiming even though there was no legal title to this extent. The term that the surveyors used was "on a resurvey surplus land of xxx acres was found." On occasion, 400 acres would blossom into something like 800 acres as the surplus land was included.
Robert Beverley had probably ridden over the land he was interested in. He had a surveyor mark the boundaries taking into account other claims that might exist. The normal next step would be to pay his fees at the rate of 5 shillings per 50 acres. This would have given him a temporary title to the
land. Then he would have settled a number of people on the land and prove it up. If the land were not proven up, the title could revert to the crown. Until the land was proven, the title was only temporary. If the colony took the land back for failure to prove it, they did not refund the monies which
had been spent.
John Blankenbaker
The eleven hundred and eighty-sixth note in a series on the Germanna Colonies:
Robert Beverley had his 13,000 acres laid out and perhaps he had even had a surveyor go over the land and mark the boundaries. His next step would be to pay his fees to the colony at the rate of five shillings per fifty acres or one shilling per ten acres. Thus his fee would be 1,300 shillings or 65 pounds sterling. Then he had to think to about where he was going to find people who would be willing to live on this land. This land was to the west of Fort Germanna and the fort had not even been built yet. He very correctly came to the conclusion that he should hold on to his 65 pounds and wait until his chances of getting settlers would be better. (Meanwhile his markers would discourage anyone else from claiming the same land.) This was about 1710 or the time that Alexander Spotswood arrived to take up his duties as Lt. Gov.
Probably in the first year that Spotswood was in Virginia, Beverley approached him and discussed what they might do on the western lands. Beverley said that they might form a partnership with his land and some more land. However, this did not solve the question of where they were going to find settlers. The dangers of settling on the frontier were brought home with wars in North Carolina between the Indians and the whites in 1711. Indirectly this led to a solution of where the settlers were to be found. Christoph Graffenried proposed to move his North Carolina colony to Virginia where it would be safer. Spotswood, on mulling this over, came up with the idea of settling these Germans and Swiss on the frontier to serve
as a barrier between the Indians and the Virginians. When another group of Germans landed on his doorstep in 1714, he settled them at the place now called Germanna which served two purposes. The official purpose was to be a barrier to the Indians in that part of the country. The off-the-record reason was his proposed silver mine which was only a few miles from Germanna (and adjacent to the Beverly 13,000 acre tract).
Very quickly, Spotswood, Beverley and all of the large planters in Virginia saw what the impact of the Germans would and could be. The land out to Germanna became very attractive and beyond was a possibility. In 1716 several of the people who were interested in land organized an exploration beyond Germanna. Again, there was an official reason and there was an unofficial or real reason. To the people back in London, the reason given was to see the pass over the Blue Ridge Mountains. This was described as a measure of defensive action against the hated French.
The real reason for the trip was to scout for land to satisfy the appetite for it. Barely was the trip over when Spotswood was having 40,000 acres laid out that stretched from almost Germanna to beyond the present day courthouse in Culpeper County. (The 40,000 acre tract was an understatement for, when plotted, it shows about 65,000 acres.) This included the 13,000 acres of Beverley. Spotswood claimed still other people joined in the enterprise though their names never seem to have been recorded.
Though the land was laid out, there were still no settlers for it. Within eighteen months, Spotswood had that problem solved.

I do have Jacob Witt, but I was interested in your comment that he was from France. The story passed down through the family was that the family had land in France which had a 99 year lease. Supposedly a town grew up on the land. My mother told me that it was Booneville. Could be Bon Ville. Anyway at the end of the lease the family sent Jeff DeWitt and a lawyer by the name of Potter to check on the inheritance. They claimed that when they got to New York that they wired France and were told that they were a day too late and that the inheritance had fallen to the crown. Until your statement that Jacob came from France, I had not been able to connect the family to France.. Interested to know how you found that Jacob was from France.. Winn

Re: Rose's maiden name----footnote from _The Fitzhugh Family of King George Co., VA_ by Elizabeth N. Lee:
Norma Tucker, _Virginia Colonials and Their Maryland Relatives_, (Baltimore, 1994), p. 35. The maiden name Sturman is not positively proved but Norma Tucker gives evidence that leads one to believe that this is most likely correct.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------
The will of Rose Newton, widow, was proved in Westmoreland, January 28th, 1712. She gave her son Thomas Newton her lands in Virginia and Maryland and all rents and arrearages for lands left her by her former husband Thomas Gerrard, &c, &c. Thus it appears that Thomas was omitted in his father's will, and the only child named in his mother's.

Notes for Dennis McCarty:
Dennis McCarty, immigrant; also McCarty Index Dennis McCarty, prob. identical with the Dennis McCarty, Ensign in the Susquehanna War 1676, married Elizabeth Billington, dau/o Luke Billington Dennis died
1694. Deed: Dennis McCartee of Rappahannock County. then patent 26 Oct 1692 from Gov. Francis Nicholson. Next entry: 15 Sep 1691 grant descr. on east and south side of a branch of the Wicomico R. in Northumberland Co. "It is clear ... in the colony as early as 1675, ... best evidence is that in
March of that year, he married an English lady, Elizabeth Billington, dau of Luke Billington of Farnham Parish, now Richmond but then in Rapp. Co ....he and his wife lived in or near Farnham Parish in 1678, since the register of Farnham Parish Church on file in the County Clerk's Office at Warsaw, VA,
carries entries of the births of two of their children: "Catherine, dau of Dennis and Elizabeth McCarty, April 10, 1678, and Daniel, son of Dennis and Elizabeth McCarty, March 10, 1679." Dennis McCarty d. 1694 as the probate of his will clearly shows." Order Bk No. 1, Richmond Co., will adm.
probate on 4 Apr 1694; also, Vol. 17, William and Mary Quarterly, "I am informed by the County Clerk that the Book containing the record of Dennis McCarty's will is lost with Will Book No. 1. However, the probate on COB says his children, Catherine and Daniel, were minors, nevertheless enter in
the probate proceedings." [Note by Mary Lou: I think 1668 is date given for marriage of Dennis and Elizabeth in book American Marriages Before 1699]. See Daniel McCarty. Clancarty: On p. 72 Miss McCarty says Burke (Armorial authority) gives the arms of Clancarty and Viscount Muskerry, attainted by (king) William in 1690, as those engraven on the silver. Title restored 1721. She mentions House of Munster.
------------------
An esteemed genealogist, Reverend Horace Hayden, mentions in an article 20 serving pieces of sterling with a McCarty crest, that of a knight, and said he did not doubt Daniel was of the Mount Cashel McCartys. Hayden thought there was one Thaddeus b. in 1739, but there were two McCarty men of that name. See also Complete Peerage, listings Mount Cashel, Muskerry, Clancarty. In VA Wills and Administrations, p. 275, Macarty, Danl. 1680 w.(will) Accomack (?). Also named is Macarty, Denis1702i (indexed) Princess Ann Co. VA, and Denis Maccarty names son Daniel and dau Katherine, minors, as his children and co-heirs. George W. McCartey, Ldn (Loudon) 134A, is listed, p. 283, Felldin's Index to the 1820 Census of VA. One Daniel MacHarty, 1680, America, is in Coldham's, ?perhaps the one who d. 1680, Accomack? Huguenot John Fontaine's early 1700s diary (recently published) mentions visiting tax collector Daniel McCarty and discussing prospects in VA, and indicates he was told they were not good which might have been due to waterways as means of travel and also the problem with fevers. Oxford Directory of Irish Families reports several McCarthys were kings of Munster, one was king of Desmond.
The McCartys were loyal to the Stuart kings and were Episcopalians and served in the church in many ways in America.
Daniel McCarty b. 1830 md. 1853 to Angeline Zimmerman and he resided in Champaign & Auglaize OH had a son Enoch who had a son Benjamin Harrison McCarty. See listing of John McCarty.
Daniel McCarty-- there are a number of others, all covered in Miss McCarty's book.
On p. 95 she quotes Old Virginia Days and Ways, Reminiscences of Sally McCarty Pleasants, ed. by her dau. Lucy Lee Pleasants: "My grandmother McCarty (Sarah Mason) had ten sons and one daughter ... `Cedar Grove' became the scene of continued frolicking. Fox-hunting was a favorite pastime, especially of Daniel, the eldest son. One day when the chase had been unusually long and hard, he became separated from his companions and followed the quarry until, after many doublings and windings, it ran
unexpectedly into the wooded lawn of a gentleman's home. Daniel rushed after in hot pursuit to find himself confronted by a beautiful young woman in whose arms the fox had taken sanctuary. With flashing eyes she dared him to touch it and he instantly concluded that the little animal must be a pet in
the family. Confused and contrite, he threw himself from his horse and, hat in hand, stammered his apologies. Alas! the fox got the better of the hunter that October day, for Daniel was so hard hit that he never rested until he won the spirited damsel for his wife. The temper, however, that had seemed
so charming in the maid proved less attractive in the spouse. Poor Uncle Daniel died before he was forty, and his friends were accustomed to say in speaking of him that in chasing the fox he caught a vixen."
By Revolution, several little Daniel McCartys were drummer boys, on both sides.

(Randolph Family Genealogy)
From _Virginia: Guide to the Old Dominion_, 1940, p.629:
Brick gateposts about 2 miles past Curles Neck are at the entrance to Turkey Island, ancestral seat of the Randolph family. The present house, near the James, is relatively modern. Within a walled enclosure are ironstone table tombs, that of the immigrant bearing the Randolph arms. The plantation, so named for an island near by where the first explorers of the river found many wild turkeys, was owned in 1676 by Colonel James Crews, who was hanged for participating with his neighbor, Bacon, in the rebellion. In 1684 the land was sold to William Randolph (1657-1711).
Of "Turkey Island," on James River, Henrico Co, VA, having arrived there in 1674. Clerk of Henrico 1683 to 1711while also serving as Burgess beginning in 1685, Speaker 1690, Clerk of House 1702, Attorney General 1696, and a member of the Royal council. His tombstone there read "Col. William Randolph of Warwickshire, but late of Virginia, Gent., died April 11, 1711. Mrs. Mary Randolph, his only wife. She was the daughter of Mr. Henry Isham by Catherine his wife. He was of Northamptonshire, but late of Virginia, Gent."

Notes for Thomas Randolph:
[Randolph.FTW]
Thomas Randolph of "Tuckahoe", second son of the original William Randolph of "Turkey Island" was born there in June, 1683. He settled on land about fifteen miles above the falls of James River and built between 1714 and 1720 the noted old residence. He named his estate "Tuckahoe," from the Indian name of the Creek flowing through it, and resided there until his death in 1730. Goochland County, where the estate is located, was created in 1728, and he became the presiding justice and the Lieutenant of the County. He married October 16th, 1712, Judith Fleming, daughter of Charles Fleming and Susanna Tarleton of New Kent County, and left three children: William, Judith and Mary Isham. There is some suggestion that there may possibly have been another daughter, but, if so, she does not appear on the records.

Notes for Col. Richard Randolph:
From _Virginia: Guide to the Old Dominion_, 1940, p.629:
Stone gateposts mark the entrance to Curles Neck, a modern dairy farm that was the seat of the leader of Bacon's Rebellion. The Colonial house has been supplanted by the large brick mansion. On a steeplechase course here the owner holds horse shows each spring.
Curles Neck was patented in 1617 by Edward Gurgany. Later it was acquired by Nathaniel Bacon, who, campaigning without authority against the Indians in June 1676, offended Governor Berkeley, was arrested, brought to trial, acquitted and 'forgiven.' When the governor attempted his arrest for a second trial, 500 Virginia farmers, who had resented the governor's failure to give them protection from the aborigines, gather here and began a civil war.
In 1698 'Curles, formerly Longfield,' and 'Slashes,' 'late in the seizen and inheritance of Nathaniel Bacon.....and found to escheat to his most sacred Majesty by the attainder of .....Nathaniel Bacon, Junr., of high treason' were purchased for 150 lbs. by the immigrant, William Randolph, who gave the land to his son Richard.
On p. 630: Randolph Monument. This area-----Park Woods-----was part of the Turkey Island estate and maintained by the Randolph family as a park. The obelisk, 18' high, relates that, 'The Foundation of this Pillar was laid in the calamitous year 1771 when all the Great Rivers of this Country were swept by inundations never before experienced which changed the face of Nature and left traces of their violence that will remain for ages. In the year 1772 this monument was raised to the memory of the first Richard and Jane Randolph of Curles.'

William Randolph I of Turkey Island
(Henrico County) Virginia and His Immediate Descendants: by Wassell Randolph, President, Cossitt Library (Memphis, TN) published by Seebode Mimeo Service, Memphis, TN, 1949.
"Richard Randolph left a will by which he devised what, for that period, was an immense estate, of both real and personal property, to his widow and seven children, viz., four sons, Richard, Brett, Ryland and John, and three daughters, Mary, Jane and Elizabeth. The will was dated November 18, 1747 abd
was probated in June of 1749 in Henrico County. As he had given before his death his two plantations "Tuckahoe" and "Green Mountain" to his son Richard, Jr., he divised his remaining plantations among his other three sons. He gave to his widow the plantation "Curles" for life and made other generous
provisions for her. He gave money to each of his daughters so as to make each> one's fortune aggregate 1000 pounds.
Long after Richard Randolph's death his executors on Nov 5, 1757 published in a newspaper a notice that persons who had been driven from their lands by Indians, or who desired to settle upon new lands, might enter upon the estate's unsettled lands in Bedford County, and without let from the executors build upon and cultivate it, rent free, for seven years.
Jane Randolph survived her husband, Richard Randolph, and died March 4, 1766 aged sixty-two years. She left a will dated March 2, 1766 which was probated June 1, 1767 in Henrico County in which she named all her children.

Notes for John Copeland:
17 July 1999
The following notes are taken from a genealogy forum Web Page, www.genforum.com/copeland, written by Michael G. Copeland of Arlington, Texas (unless otherwise noted). Michael has been researching the Copeland ancestry for over 30 years and is very thorough, and particular about verifying information. He will indicate that he has not verified a piece of information and unless he can, he will not pass it on as fact.
14 June 1998
"The information I have in my research does not support William and Mary as being the parents of Nicholas. Their land was in Middlesex, Va., and the two children they did have were properly christened in the church. There is not support for Nicholas being their son. However, there is support for NICHOLAS being the son of JOHN COPELAND who owned land in Old Rappannock which became Essex, then Spotsylvania and later Orange County. John was acturally born in 1612 (not in 1616 as reported in other written genealogies) and was christened in St. Mary's Church in Lancaster, Lancashire, England; and his father is listed as being Lawrence Coopelande (Copeland) of Dolphinholme, which is 6 miles to the south of Lancaster. Dolphin Leigh may have been the name of the manor estate according to those in the Preston Record Office. John came to Virginia in 1635 on the ship Assurance de lo and landed near Jamestown. He was twenty three (not 19 as some have reported) and he married Sarah Ratchiff. Nicholas may have been married as many times as you report. I can say with some degree of assurance that he was, without any doubt, married to Ann Ransome as you say. The land deed records support this. I am sorry to say that there is no support for JOHN COPELAND who was born in 1612 and sailed to Virginia in 1635 as being the same JOHN COPELAND who was the Quaker. It is fanciful to think they are one in the same. They are not. They are perhaps related, but are not the same. John the Quaker was from Yorkshire and was active in London in 1650 with George Fox as the Quaker movement was in it's beginning stages. John the Quaker was not a land owner in Virginia, but may have visited his relatives there before going to Massachusetts, where he suffered the loss of his ear."

"There are two JOHN COPELANDS and I make this distinction only for the sake of giving them each their due. The John Copeland born in 1612 was born in Dolphinholme and not in Dolphin Leigh as reported in a variety of written genealogies. This error was first reported in D. Graham Copeland's manuscript. The original is in the South Carolinian Library. D. Graham Copeland made the assumption that Dolphin Leigh was a village or hamlet in Lancashire. Actually it was the name of the manor estate of Laurence Copeland who was a wealthy member of the gentry in Lancashire. When John was born in 1612 (not 1615 as written in his manuscript) his christening was reported in the Church of St. Mary's and his father was identified as being Laurence Copeland of Dolphinholme. Dolphinholme is located about six miles to the southeast of Lancaster in Lancashire. The Ratliff family is also from Lancashire. John Copeland probably married Sarah Ratliff in Virginia after his arrival in Virginia in 1635. He came over on the ship Assurance and it is in his line that Lott Copeland descends. The John Copeland who came to America as a Quaker never to the best of my knowledge owned land in America. He did visit with the Quaker communities in Virginia, and had an ear removed by the Puritans of New England. This has been written up in several historical journals including Hinshaw's book on American Quakers. This John Copeland made several trips to America and when he died was returned to York where he was buried, at North Cave. The Copelands of Lancashire and the Quaker John Copeland of Yorkshire are two separate families. I hope this will help to clarify the matter for you rather than to perpetuate an error that others seem to accept without any basis in fact."

Notes for Justin "Cashell" McCarty:
Munster, House of, kings.
P. 69, author Clara McCarty says nationalism non-existent in Ireland until end of seventh century, country divided into provinces, the septs had their independent leaders who ruled as kings in their own right. Henry VII subdued the King of Munster, depriving him of all kingly attributes. Thereafter, they ruled as dignitaries of lesser degree than king. These septs were often at war with each other or with such alliances as best suited ... the ruler.. "All their wars are merry, And all their songs are sad." McCarthys ruled Munster (South Ireland) since the dawn of history, one, Carthaigh, giving the name (Mac, meaning "son of"). They equal any in involvements, about which reams of material are extant. Only a few highlights will be presented..conflicts of England will be pertinent to this story. P. 69: In 1541, Sir Anthony St. Leger was sent over to Ireland charged with special instructions to get the Irish and Anglo-Normans to acknowledge Henry VIII as their liege lord and his supremacy as head of the Church, abjuring the Holy See. This struggle held over until Donal (Gaelic for Daniel) ruled Munster and Elizabeth was Queen of England. At that time the Desmond Rebellion occurred. Now, a bitter feud existed between Desmond and Munster, and Donal sided with the Queen. For this service she wrote to Sussex on the 25th April 1558, expressing her desire that Donal McCarthy should be rewarded "with honour". Finally, on June 2, 1565, he was created "Earl of Clancar" (footnote says Clancar means the same as Clancarthy and is only a bad attempt at Gaelic pronunciation). Donal McCarthy married Honoria, dau of his brother-in-law James 15th
Earl of Desmond. At his death, the title was in contest. Under the Irish law of tanistry, a daughter could not inherit. Among the claimants, was Donal's "natural" son, Donal, whose claim was intermittently acknowledged and denied. Finally, the title lapsed. [Note by M. L. Ramsey - I am certain that one source says Donal's son was Teige or Tadhg, which I believe is Gaelic form of Thaddeus.] About a hundred years later, when Cromwell decimated the Irish gentry, many escaped by land and sea. With continued allegiance to the cause of Charles I, Donogh McCarthy (which I think is Gaelic for Dennis), Lord Muskerry, followed in exile the fortunes of the rightful heir to the throne. Returning for the Restoration in 1660 with Charles II who, by patent dated from Brussels the 27th of November had created him "Earl of Clancarty", he was fortunate in having his dignities and properties restored, although the bill introduced for that purpose was strongly opposed by those upon whom Cromwell had bestowed the properties. This order of restoration was passed in 1661, and set forth that Donogh, Earl of Clancarty and his son, Viscount Muskerry, shall be restored to all titles, honours, dignities, etc., which they enjoyed on the 22nd October, 1661. Donogh had three sons by his second wife. He died in London in 1665.
His eldest son, Cormac (Irish Gaelic for Charles, another form of Charles is Tearlac) did not inherit the title. because the same year of his father's death, he was engaged in a sea fight off Harwich with the Dutch under Van Ogden. He was on the same ship with Duke of York (afterwards King James II) [a Stuart and youngest brother of Charles II] and received wounds from which he died. It was decided that he should be honored with a public funeral in Westminster Abbey. This was done with all pomp and solemnity, "attended by many of the English nobility, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Lord Chancellor."
Callighan, second son of Donogh, succeeded as the second Earl of Clancarty. He was being educated for the priesthood but, hearing of his brother's death, left the monastery, and became a Protestant. He married Elizabeth Fitzgerald, sixth dau of George Fitzgerald, seventh Earl of Kildare. He died in 1676, and was succeeded by his son Donogh, as 3rd Earl of Clancarty. Justin, third son of Donogh was the fourth Earl. He entered in the French service at an early age and was well known in the Court of Louis XIV under the name "Muskry". Returning to Ireland, he attained the rank of Lord Lieutenant of County Cork and was made a Privy Counsellor. He succeeded in stamping out all attempts of Williamite risings in Munster, and as the best qualified officer was appointed by King James, Master General of Artillery in Ireland. In the Parliament opened by King James, he being the Lord Lieutenant of County Cork, sat as its representative. On the 3rd June, he was created Lord Mount Cashel. Succeeding his brother Charles II, James II began to show favor to the Catholic Church by appointments. His public declaration of liberty of conscience for all denominations (1687) aroused public fear of Roman Catholic tyranny, resulting in the English nobles inviting his son-in-law William of Orange, to be their King. This precipitated the Williamite War. Meeting reverses in England, James II fled to France in Dec 1688 then landed in Ireland, 1689.
The Earl of Clancarty was in command of the Munster force when the cause of James II went down to defeat in the decisive Battle of the Boyne, 1690. The Earl was stripped of his titles and properties. With James, he went to France where King Louis put him in command of all the Irish forces that had escaped with the king.
(The Treaty of Limerick, 1691, granted privileges to the Irish Catholics). The Earl died 1694. She continues: Let not these brief facts, selected from a sea of material, becloud the greater fact of activity of the House of Munster in the building of castles, chapels and abbeys, many of which, memorializing their memory, are standing today; others in a state of crumbling ruins. Among these may be noted such strongholds as Blarney, Mount Cashel, Muckross, Kilcrea (burial place for many)...all bespeaking deeply rooted religious experiences that seemed to find outlet in war and worship, whatever the alliance. It has been stated as tradition-- perhaps more accurately, an observation, that all of the name ending in "t-y" are Protestant, while the "t-h-y" are Catholic.
Certain it is, that the early colonists of this study were strong adherents to the Established Church in the Colony of Virginia. Continuing on p. 72, she says: Now, to the connecting link in Virginia: Recall that in the will of Daniel, 1724, to his son Dennis, "family plate and rings not to be parted with as they were brought from Ireland by my father (Dennis son of Cashell d.1694 as stated above the Earl died 1694)." In turn, son Dennis, in his will, 1742, "my plate" to son Daniel; and so on down the line to seventh generation, William Page McCarty who, in 1884, wrote to Horace Hayden (noted Virginia genealogist): "Captain Daniel McCarty was exiled by the Treaty of Limerick. He was a scion of the Irish house of McCarty. His silver, which I have, is all blazoned with the shield ad crest of that house. Though the tradition is that he was the Earl of Clancarty, it is more likely that he was the son of Mount Cashel (who upon death othe older family members would have inherited the title), the head of the younger branch of the family, as the helmet on he arms is a knight's and not an earl's and that his people merely considered him Earl after the elder branch became extinct [however in a Note by Mary Lou: Horace Hayden said the silver crest is that of a knight not of an earl; the 1st earl was a knight before he was created an earl by Charles II so the Earl's Crest would have probably been that of a Knight.]
, as represented in Ireland by the youger branches than the Colonial one". She then puts: (Before commenting on this letter it must be remembered that this tradiion had come down through nearly two hundred years by oral transmission.) Hayden adds: "I have seen this silver...blazoned with the arms...I do not doubt the descent of this family from the Clancarty or Mount Cashel line, but Captin McCarty's claim that Daniel of 1724, was head of the Virginia line, who was exiled by the Treaty of Limerick, October 1691, is disposed of by date of Daniel's birth as given on his tomb (1679-1724)." Burke (Armorial auhority) gives the arms of Clancarty and Viscount Muskerry, attained by William in 1690, as those engraven on the silver. Title restored 1721. And p. 73: The McCarty crest, a mailed hand grasping a lizard, had its origin in remote antiquity when a small part of Ireland lay waiting for a bold explorer. McDermott and McCarty set forth keel to keel and agreed whoever touched land first should possess it. McCarty's keel first touched the sand. McDermott in a fit of rage smote off his left hand with his sword and flung it on the land. McCarty leaped from his boat and seizing a lizard from the shore, held it up as a token of possession. Neither established a clear claim.
Munster, kings; Desmond, king: The Oxford Illustrated History of Ireland, publ. 1991, ed. R. F. Foster appears to be good source. I made some notes: Cormac Fionn McCarthy, King of Desmond, 1230-47; Donal McCarthy (Diarmait MacCarthaigh) 1185, King of Cork; Donal Rua McCartaigh, king of Desmond, d. 1302; Cormac McCarthy, king of Munster, 1127-34; Finghin MacCarthy d. 1261. I had thought that one Tadgh was also mentioned as king long ago, but my notes don't so indicate.
Duel: John B. Mordecai and William Page McCarty, 8 May 1873, is described on page 115. Seconds to Mordecai: W. L. Royall and Wm. Trigg. Seconds for McCarty: Col. W. B. Tabb of W.Va. and John J. Meredith; Physicians: Dr. Hunter McGuire and Dr. J. Dorsey Cullen. The duelists were friends, had fought for South in Civil War. McCarty became engaged one winter to young lady of Richmond, they quarreled, engagement broken, soon her engagement to Mordecai announced. Then at a dance she refused to dance with McCarty. The next night at another dance and a young man whispered to her to please dance with McCarty and not let there be trouble. She did, silently. McCarty wrote a few lines about her which was printed in the newspaper. Title was The Figure of a German (dance): When Mary's form divine I press/ In Straus's sweetest waltz, I would as well her lips caress, Although those lips be false, etc. The lady was offended and told Mordecai. Things were nearly smoothed over, but finally ended in the duel after Mordecai struck McCarty in the face. The time was 6 p.m. and the place was on the York River railroad, about one half mile from Balkey's Mill. Mordecai's first bullet took off the single button of McCarty's coat as he stood sidewise to him. McCarty's ball passed wide of Mordecai. The seconds should have ended the duel then. The men shot again and this time Mordecai fell on his face and soon died. McCarty recovered after six months in bed and legal problems regarding the duel cost him his fortune. After being shot, Mr. McCarty was carried to the residence of his mother on [204] Main Street between 2nd and 3rd. The seconds were jailed. One person, Mr. T. C. Crawford, said: "It cost him all the fortune he had; but the fact of his having placed his own life absolutely in the balance against Mordecai and the latter had provoked the quarrel, finally freed him." McCarty paid a $500 fine and was pardoned by Governor Kemper. Dr. J. Dorsey Cullen testified at the trial. Richmond, VA.

Luke Billington appears in Accomac County, VA, in 1654 (patent of land). p. 57. In 1663 patented 679 acres in Rappahannock County (Old). Luke Billington in Farnham Parish, Rappahannock (now Richmond) Co., made will, Nov. 13, 1671, probated May 23, 1672. He names wife Barbara as executor-- names one son, five daughters. One dau. Elizabeth md. Dennis McCarty. Another dau., Barbara married Joseph Tayloe of Lancaster. pg. 57 (quoting Keith, W. & M. Quarterly).
A VA source [Hayden or Keith] mentions Countess Clancarty and her sons Lord Muskerry and Justin McCarty and that Fluornoy, a Huguenot, was tutor of these boys in Virginia. A countess is wife of an earl, so at least for a time the earl's wife was apparently in VA, late 1600s I think. A man, Florence McCarty, d. VA 171_, VA. Some McCartneys of Loch Urr, Scotland, 1600s, descended from one Donough McCarty per History of Galloway, v. 2 p. 174. Loch Urr is on southern coast of Scotland in area called Galloway Dumfriesshire. Luke Billington Sr.'s only son Luke, Jr., d. young, made nuncupative will, leaving his pistols to "little Daniel McCarty." These pistols were passed down in Daniel's will to son Dennis, and were donated to a museum by a later McCarty, and are said to have been owned by Captain John Smith (who was otherwise known as John ap Dade). The McCartys and other VA families passed down the given name Billington. One red-haired Miss McCarty was in her yard when a fox hunter came dashing in on his horse just as the fox jumped into her arms. She chided the man, and later married him.

In that year Administration was granted to Warham Horsmanden, her father of the estate of Samuel Filmer her first husband, who was then described as "of East Sutton, Gent. and formerly of Virginia, but died in the City of Westminster."

Notes for Lawrence Copeland:
The following is an e-mail received by Lillian Underwood from Deborah Coley, a Copeland descendant who spent several months (maybe a year) in England and Scotland doing research on the Copeland Clan, particularly our earliest ancestor, Lawrence Copeland.
2 September 1999
(From [email protected] (Patrick Coley) )
Dear Lillian,
Yes indeed, it was the trip of a lifetime. Dolphinlee (as it is written on English documents) was an estate/farm of the Copeland family from 1623 (evidence of family tennancy before this) till the Copeland line died out in the early 1700's.
It sits just on the outskirts of Lancaster and the M6 Motorway can be seen from where the house sat. It was torn down about 20 years ago (late 1970's) when the land became part of a young offenders' prison farm. We stayed at a bed and breakfast on what was once part of the estate of Dolphinlee, now owned by the Whitaker family. Mr. Whitaker is in his early 70's and his Aunt and Uncle lived in the Dolphinlee house when he was a boy. So he remembered exactly where the house was and drove us there after receiving permission from the prison farm to let us on.
Mr. Whitaker also made us an appointment at the Lancaster Museum to visit with the curator, Dr. Andrew White. Dr. White took me to the storage area of the museum where the lintel stone from over the front door of Dolphinlee is stored. I have pictures of the stone and will attempt to send to you on our scanner later today when my daughter has time to show me how to work it.
I found a black and white early photo of the house Dolphinlee in a Lancashire history book in Preston while researching in the area. It was an impressive house. I will attempt to scan that also but it is in black and white so I don't know how it will turn out.
The Preston archives were closed the week we were there so I wasn't able to check wills for documentation, but I got quite a bit of history of our ancestors from the Lancashire history volumes at the Preston Library. According to these volumes, Lawrence was Catholic and refused to worship in the Anglican church. For this he was punished, at least financially, and lost two thirds of his land. Many in this area were strong Catholics at this time. Like other homes in the area, Dolphinlee was a safe haven for priests who would come to the area to deliver the mass, etc. There were 2 secret rooms in the house where they could hide the priest.
I have read on familytree.com that Lawrence was a roundhead. I believe from the histories I found that he was not a roundhead (one who fought for Cromwell and Parliament during the English Civil War) but a royalist as were many of his neighbors and friends.
Lord Dalton, who owned much of Lanchashire County, held Dolphinlee as part of his lands. Our Lawrence was his estate manager for Dolphinlee and also for his estate of Aldcliffe. There was a house at Aldcliffe where Lord Dalton's two spinster sisters lived. They were fairly famous for their Catholicism and hiding of priests.
It seems that Lawrence's oldest son, Robert, continued with the estate after Lawrence died and one history I read says that Robert was able to buy back the rest of the estate his father lost, years later. I still have many unanswered questions so someday hope to make the trip again. I read where there were 42 killed for thier religious beliefs in Lancaster at that time. I would like to see a list of names to see if our Lawrence died in this manner. I remember reading in one Copeland history that Lawrence was "killed for his beliefs".
I am also curious why it appears the other children did not retain the Cahtolic religion upon coming to America, at least our John, b. 1612. As you are surely aware, many of these Copelands were Quakers, who were probably related to our John.
Well, I've rattled on enough for now. I hope to be able to send you a few pictures today if I can manage to operate the scanner with my daughter's help. We just got back from taking our son to college in Missouri (my home state), and he has been my resident computer fix-it man. Now I feel quite lost. I hope this has been interesting to you, I have really enjoyed finding all of this. Let me hear from you on your thoughts about this family and possibilities of further research.
Very sincerely,
Deborah
***************************************************************
The Lancashire Branch of the Copelands has been traced back to the 1500's. The head of this branch was a solid Roundhead, and for his religious faith, he died because of his faith -- Puritan.
Roundheads the name given to the supporters of the parliamentary cause during the English civil war.
His estates were sequestered by the Crown for recusancy. The eldest son Robert, tried to obtain these estates, but results...Claim allowed with arrears from the fathers death on fuller proof of the death and on the sons taking the oath of adjuration. Robert does not appear to have done this and it is believed that he and his brother Lawrence sailed to America. The other two sons John and Thomas are believed to have joined their relitives in Stanffordshire.

Source: Johni Cerny and Gary Zimmerman
Georg Willert is mentioned in a 1610 court case. In 1617, agnes Willert, daughter of the deceased Georg Willert, married Maring Ebelmann. The earliest record to mention the Willheit family is a 1539 tax record in Schwaigern. Variations in the spelling of the surname are Wylhart, Wilheitt, Wilheyt, and Wilhatt in that tax record. Those taxed were Michael Wylhart, Jerg Wyhart, Jacob Wilheitt, Anthoni Wilheyt, and Quirin Wilhatt. It is impossible to connect any of these to Johann Michael Willheit, the immigrant to Virginia

**********************************************
John is sometimes given the title "King of Castile and Leon", a reference to his marriage to Constance of Castile.
Because John's romance with Katherine Swynford has been such a distinctive part of his biography, it is easy to overlook the devotion he apparently felt for his first wife, Blanche. After her death, he established a number of chantries to say masses for her soul, and funded an expensive yearly memorial service. John's great biographer, Sidney Armitage-Smith reports that there is no evidence that John was ever unfaithful to Blanche.
In 1377, King Edward III changed the status of John's county of Lancaster, making him the Earl Palatinate, as John's late father-in-law, Henry of Grosmont had been. This had significant implications for the county as a revenue unit, and formed the basis on which John's son Henry IV sectioned off the Duchy of Lancaster to keep its fortune separate from that of the crown. Over the years, the set of transactions has had enormous financial implications for the holder of the duchy (its revenues, for instance, funded much of the Lancastrian war effort in the Wars of the Roses). The duchy's bondsmen were in technical thrall long after serfdom was abolished in England, and Elizabeth I manumitted a great number of them.
John's third wife, Katherine Swynford, had been his mistress for many years. After they married, their four grown children were legitimized by Richard II as the Beaufort family.
Among John's lesser-known achievements: some historians credit him with introducing morris dancers to England from Spain.
According to some sources, John died at Leicester Castle.
John is depicted in a stained-glass window in the chapel of All Soul's College, University of Oxford. The window apparently shows him late in life, because his hair and beard are almost white.
In his lifetime, nobody called him John of Gaunt after his very early childhood; the name only became popular 200 years later after Shakespeare used it in Richard II.
A character in Shakespeare's play Richard II, who says one of the playwright's most famous lines: "This royal throne of kings, this sceptr'd isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall, Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands; This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England..." Richard II Act 2, scene 1
In Richard II, Shakespeare assigns John a number of good speeches. After John's son Henry is banished, John gives him some advice: "GAUNT. Call it a travel that thou tak'st for pleasure. BOLINGBROKE. My heart will sigh when I miscall it so, Which finds it an enforced pilgrimage.... GAUNT. All places that the eye of heaven visits Are to a wise man ports and happy havens. Teach thy necessity to reason thus: There is no virtue like necessity." Richard II Act 1, scene 3
As Gaunt is dying, he admonishes his nephew, King Richard: "Why, cousin, wert thou regent of the world, It were a shame to let this land by lease; But for thy world enjoying but this land, Is it not more than shame to shame it so? Landlord of England art thou now, not King." Richard II Act 2, scene 1

Notes for Prince of England Thomas Plantagenet:
(8) Thomas of Woodstock (1355–1397), Duke of Gloucester.
The Great Seal of Edward IIIThomas, who was one of the Lords Appellant influential under Richard II, was murdered or executed for treason, likely by the order of Richard II; his eventual heir was his daughter Anne, who married into the Stafford family, whose heirs became the Dukes of Buckingham. Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, descended on his father's side from Thomas of Woodstock, and on his mother's side from John Beaufort. He rebelled against Richard III in 1483 but failed to depose him. This failed rebellion left Henry Tudor as the Lancastrians' primary candidate for the throne.
Thus, the senior Plantagenet line was ended with the death of Richard II, but not before the execution of Thomas of Woodstock for treason. The heirs presumptive through Lionel of Antwerp were passed over in favour of the powerful Henry IV, descendant of Edward III through John of Gaunt. These Lancaster kings initially survived the treason of their Edmund of Langley (York) cousins but eventually were deposed by the merged Lionel/Edmund line in the person of Edward IV. Internecine killing among the Yorks left Richard III as king, supported and then betrayed by his cousin Buckingham, the descendant of Thomas of Woodstock. Finally, the Yorks were dislodged by the remaining Lancastrian candidate, Henry VII of the House of Tudor, another descendant of John of Gaunt, who married the eldest daughter of Yorkist King Edward IV.
**********************************************************************
Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester (January 7, 1355 – September 8 (or 9), 1397) was the thirteenth and youngest child of King Edward III of England and Queen Philippa. He was the fifth of the five sons of Edward III who survived to adulthood. Thomas was murdered in Calais in 1397 on behalf of his nephew, King Richard II of England, causing an outcry amongst the nobility of England which is considered by many to have added to Richard's unpopularity.
Early life
Thomas was born after two short-lived sons, one of whom had also been baptised Thomas. He was born at Woodstock Palace in Oxfordshire. He married Eleanor de Bohun in 1376, and inherited the title Earl of Essex from his father-in-law, Humphrey de Bohun, 7th Earl of Hereford. Woodstock's wife's younger sister, Mary de Bohun, was subsequently married to Henry "Bolingbroke," who eventually became Henry IV of England.
At the age of 22, in 1377, Woodstock was created Earl of Buckingham. In 1385 he received the title Duke of Aumale, and at about the same time was created Duke of Gloucester.
Offspring and heirs
Thomas and his wife had one son and four daughters. Following his murder (probably on the orders of his nephew, King Richard II of England), at Calais in 1397, his title was forfeit and did not pass to his son, Humphrey.
His eldest daughter, Anne of Gloucester, married into the powerful Stafford family, who were Earls of Stafford and Dukes of Buckingham, and four generations after Thomas, the disposition of the de Bohun estates may have been a motivating factor in the involvement of Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham in plots against the crown during the period of Richard III.

Notes for King of England Edward Plantagenet II:
from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_II_of_England
Edward II, (April 25, 1284 – September 21, 1327), of Caernarvon, was King of England from 1307 until deposed in January, 1327. His tendency to ignore his nobility, in favour of low-born favourites, led to constant political unrest and eventually to his deposition. He is today perhaps best remembered for the brutal method of his alleged murder, which was linked to his reliance on the corrupt family of Hugh le Despenser.
Prince of Wales
The fourth son of Edward I of England by his first wife Eleanor of Castile, Edward II was born at Caernarfon Castle. He was the first English prince to hold the title of the Prince of Wales, which was formalized by the Lincoln Parliament of February 7, 1301. (The story that his father presented Edward II as a newborn to the Welsh as their future native prince is unfounded; the story first appeared in the work of 16th century Welsh "antiquary" David Powel.)
Edward became heir to the throne when he was just a few months old, upon the death of his elder brother Alfonso. His father, a notable military leader, made a point of training young Edward in warfare and statecraft starting in his childhood. The prince took part in several Scots campaigns, but "all his father's efforts could not prevent his acquiring the habits of extravagance and frivolity which he retained all through his life". The king attributed his son’s problems to Piers Gaveston, a Gascon knight some believe to have been the prince's lover. Gaveston was exiled by the king after the then Prince Edward bestowed upon him a title reserved for royalty. Ironically it was the king who had originally chosen Gaveston to be a suitable friend for his son, in 1298. When Edward I died, on July 7, 1307, the first act of the prince, now King Edward II, was to recall Gaveston. His next was to abandon the Scots campaign on which his father had set his heart.
King of England
The new king was physically as impressive as his father. He was, however, lacking in drive and ambition and was "the first king after the Conquest who was not a man of business" (Dr Stubbs). His main interest was in entertainment, though he also took pleasure in athletics and in the practice of mechanical crafts. He had been so dominated by his father that he had little confidence in himself, and was always in the hands of some favourite with a stronger will than his own.
Richard II
In the early years of his reign Gaveston held this role, acting as regent when Edward went to France, where, on January 25, 1308, he married Isabella of France, the daughter of King Philip IV of France, "Philip the Fair"; she was the sister of three French kings. The marriage was doomed to failure almost from the beginning. Isabella was neglected by her husband, who spent much of his time with the few friends he shared power with, conspiring on how to limit the powers of the Peerage in order to consolidate his father's legacy for himself. Their marriage nevertheless produced two sons, Edward (1312–1377), who would succeed his father on the throne as Edward III, and John of Eltham, Earl of Cornwall (1316–1336), and two daughters, Eleanor (1318–1355) and Joanna (1321–1362), wife of David II of Scotland. Edward had also fathered at least one illegitimate son, Adam FitzRoy, who accompanied his father in the Scottish campaigns of 1312, and who died shortly after on 18 September 1322.
Piers Gaveston, Earl of Cornwall
Edward II, depicted in Cassell's History of England, published circa 1902Gaveston received the earldom of Cornwall with the hand of the king's niece, Margaret of Gloucester. The barons grew resentful of Gaveston and twice insisted on his banishment. On each occasion Edward recalled his friend, whereupon the barons, headed by the king's cousin Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, went to war against king and favourite and in 1312 assassinated Gaveston. Edward was not strong enough to avenge his loss.
He stood aside, allowing the country to come under the rule of a baronial committee of twenty-one lords ordainers, who, in 1311, had drawn up a series of ordinances, which substituted ordainers for the king as the effective government of the country. Parliament meant to the new rulers an assembly of barons just as it had done to the opponents of Edward's grandfather, Henry III, in 1258. The Commons were excluded. The effect was to transform England from a monarchy to a narrow oligarchy.
Conflict with Scotland
During the quarrels between Edward and the "ordainers", Robert the Bruce was steadily re-conquering Scotland. His progress was so great that he had occupied all the fortresses save Stirling, which he besieged. The danger of losing Stirling shamed Edward and the barons into an attempt to retrieve their lost ground. In addition, Edward saw a chance for his sworn revenge against Lancaster, if he were to return home in front of a large, victorious army. In June 1314 Edward led a huge army into Scotland in the hope of relieving Stirling. On June 24, his ill-disciplined and badly led force was completely defeated by Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn. Henceforth Bruce was sure of his position as King of Scots, and took vengeance for Edward I's activities by devastating the northern counties of England.
Political factions
Edward II's disgraceful defeat made him more dependent on his barons than ever. Thomas of Lancaster now had an opportunity of saving England from the consequences of the king's incompetence. He had shown some ability as a leader of opposition, but lacked creativity. He was suspected of having made a secret understanding with Bruce, in hopes of keeping the king weak.
Before long the opposition split into fiercely contending factions. Under Aymer of Valence, Earl of Pembroke, a middle party arose, which hated Lancaster so much that it supported the king. After 1318, the effect of its influence was to restore Edward to some portion of his authority. However, the king hated Pembroke almost as much as Lancaster, and now found a competent alternative adviser in Hugh le Despenser, 1st Earl of Winchester, a baron of great experience.
His son, Hugh the younger Despenser, became a personal friend and favourite, who effectively replaced Gaveston. The fierce hatred which the barons had for the Despensers was equal to their hatred for his previous favourite. They were indignant at the privileges Edward lavished upon father and son, especially when the younger Despenser strove to procure for himself the earldom of Gloucester in right of his wife Eleanor de Clare, daughter of Gilbert de Clare, 7th Earl of Hertford and Joan of Acre and niece of Edward II.
Rule of the Despensers
In 1321, the barons met in parliament, and under Lancaster's guidance had Hugh le Despenser and his son banished. This inspired Edward to act. In 1322 he recalled the Despensers from exile, and waged war against the barons on their behalf. Lancaster, defeated at Boroughbridge, was executed at Pontefract. For the next five years the Despensers ruled England. Unlike the ordainers, they took pains to get the Commons on their side, and a parliament held at York in 1322 revoked the ordinances because they encroached upon the rights of the crown. From this time no statute was technically valid unless the Commons had agreed to it. This marks the most important step forward in Edward II's reign. But the rule of the Despensers soon became corrupt. Their first thought was for themselves, and they stirred up universal indignation. In particular, they excited the ill-will of the queen, Isabella of France.
Deposition by Isabella of France
A dispute broke out between England and France over the building of a fortified town in the English possession of Aquitaine by Isabella's brother Charles IV of France. The Despensers then sequestered the queen's vast estates, banished Isabella's loyal French servants and took three of her children into their custody. Eleanor de Clare was also imposed on Isabella as her 'housekeeper' to control her actions. Queen Isabella kept silence until 1325, when she went to France to negotiate a solution to the dispute. Her eldest son, Edward of Windsor, followed on later to do homage for Aquitaine to Charles IV when a settlement was reached. Isabella's polite attitude to Despenser and her husband concealed her deep animosity and she was considered loyal.
When her business was over, Isabella declined to return to her husband as long as the Despensers remained his favourites. In Paris, she formed a liaison with Roger Mortimer of Wigmore, one of the barons, who had been exiled in 1323 when he rebelled after his lands had been seized by the Despensers. On 24 September 1326 Isabella landed with a large force in Essex accompanied by Mortimer and her son, declaring that she was come to avenge the murder of Lancaster and to expel the Despensers. Edward's followers deserted him, and on October 2 he fled from London to the west, where he took refuge in the younger Despenser's estates in Glamorgan. When Isabella entered London, there was a violent revolution in her favour and weeks of anarchy followed. His wife and her army followed Edward and the Despensers, and after a futile effort to escape by sea, Edward and a handful of supporters were captured on 16 November and escorted to Monmouth Castle. According to legend, his capture took place at Pant-y-Brâd ("the dell of treachery"), near Llantrisant. He was later transferred to Kenilworth Castle. It was thought prudent to compel the captive king to resign the crown, and this occurred on January 20. The Articles of Deposition accused Edward of many offences including: being incompetent to govern, unwilling to heed good counsel, allowing himself to be controlled by evil councillors, giving himself up to unseemly works and occupations, and plundering the kingdom.
A parliament met at Westminster in January 1327, which proclaimed Edward's son to be king as Edward III. Both Despensers were tried and executed.
Life in captivity and death
Edward II's tomb at Gloucester CathedralThe government of Isabella and Mortimer was so precarious that they dared not leave the deposed king in the hands of their political enemies. On April 3 he was removed from Kenilworth and entrusted to the custody of two dependents of Mortimer. He was imprisoned at Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire. Contrary to the polemical chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker, record evidence shows that he was well-treated in captivity. It was later rumoured that Edward had been killed by the insertion of a piece of copper into his anus (later a red-hot iron rod, as in the supposed murder of Edmund Ironside), supposedly as a deserved end of a homosexual. It also supposedly had the added benefit that it would appear that the king had died a natural death; this is due to the fact that a metal tube was inserted into the rectum first, allowing the iron rod to penetrate the innards without leaving a burn on the anus. This was elaborated in a history by Sir Thomas More:
"On the night of October 11 (1327 AD) while lying in on a bed (the king) was suddenly seized and, while a great mattress... weighed him down and suffocated him, a plumber's iron, heated intensely hot, was introduced through a tube into his secret parts (into his anus) so that it burned the inner portions beyond the intestines."
This method is unnecessarily complicated, as simple suffocation would have met the objectives and so is unlikely.
Following the king's death, the rule of Isabella and Mortimer did not last long. Mortimer and Isabella made peace with the Scots with the Treaty of Northampton but this was highly unpopular. On March 19, 1330, the Earl of Kent, brother of Edward II, was executed for plotting the restoration of Edward II. Some say Mortimer had fed him the information that Edward was still alive hoping to entrap him. However Mortimer's execution of the earl lost him his remaining support. Consequently as soon as Edward III came of age in 1330, he executed Roger Mortimer on charges of treason, the most important of which was the murder of Edward II. Edward III spared Isabella and gave her a generous allowance, but he ensured that she retired from public life. She died at Hertford on 23 August 1358.
The Fieschi Letter
A letter was written to Edward III in circa 1337 by a Genoese priest Manuele de Fieschi, Bishop of Vicelli, which has been a source of controversy ever since a copy was discovered in 1878 in Montpellier, because it claims that Edward II was not murdered but escaped. Supporters of this letter say that the accounts of the murder, including le Baker's, were not written until long after Edward's death. Edward's tomb was a valuable source of revenue from pilgrims and the story of a gruesome murder would have been useful. Furthermore the events at Berkeley Castle were only known to a few people who were sworn to secrecy. No-one doubts the authenticity of Fieschi's letter, only its veracity, and it contains details that few people knew at the time and was written long before the accepted accounts of the flight, imprisonment and murder.
In the Fieschi letter the flight to Wales, the arrest, the escape to Glamorgan and imprisonment at Kenilworth and Berkeley are described. According to Fieschi Edward heard that he was to be killed and changed clothes with a servant. On reaching the gate, he is reported to have killed the gate-keeper and went to Corfe Castle where he stayed for 18 months.
Edward is then said to have stayed in Ireland for nine months, crossed to the Low Countries and travelled to Italy, visiting the Pope in Avignon on the way. Edward is then reported to have lived in monastic hermitages near Milan. Supporters of the letter say that he knew that he had no support at home and never tried to regain the throne, especially after his son, Edward III, had removed Mortimer. In the Italian town of Cecima, (75 km from Milan), there is a tradition that a king of England was buried there and there is an empty mediaeval tomb said to be the place of his burial before his body was repatriated to England by his son.
Supporters of the letter say that the elaborate funeral in Gloucester of the person supposed to be Edward II may have been that of the gate-keeper. Many local dignitaries were invited to view the body from a distance, but it had been embalmed and may have been unrecognisable. For the first time a carved wooden effigy of the dead king was carried through the streets rather than the body on a bier.
Diplomatic documents also show in 1338 that Edward III travelled to Koblenz to be installed as Vicar of the Holy Roman Empire and there he met someone called William le Galeys, or William the Welshman, who claimed to be the king's father. (Edward II was born in Caernarvon and was the first Prince of Wales.) Claiming to be the king's father would have been dangerous, and it is not known what happened to William. Many historians claim that the person was William Ockle.
Opponents of the letter say that the letter is an attempt by the bishop of Maguelone who had been sent to Germany to disrupt an Anglo-German alliance. The letter may therefore be an attempt to blackmail Edward III by undermining his position at the German court. Fieschi held various church appointments in England from 1319 and may also have been attempting to gain royal patronage.
Notes for Queen of England Isabella Capet:
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabella_of_France
Isabella of France (c.1295 – August 22, 1358), known as the She-Wolf of France, was the Queen consort of Edward II of England.
Isabella was born in Paris sometime between 1288 and 1296, the daughter of King Philip IV of France and Queen Jeanne of Navarre, and the sister of three French kings. While still an infant, her father had promised her in marriage to Edward II to resolve the conflicts between France and England over the latter's continental possession of Gascony and claims to Anjou, Normandy and Aquitaine. Pope Boniface VIII had urged the marriage as early as 1298 but was delayed by wrangling over the terms of the marriage contract. The English king, Edward I had also attempted to break the engagement several times. Only after he died in 1307 did the wedding go forward.
Her groom, the new King Edward II, looked the part of a Plantagenet king to perfection. He was tall and athletic, and wildly popular at the beginning of his reign. She married Edward at Boulogne-sur-Mer on January 25, 1308. Since he had ascended the throne the previous year, Isabella never was titled Princess of Wales.
At the time of her marriage Isabella was about twelve, described by Geoffrey of Paris as "the beauty of beauties...in the kingdom if not in all Europe." This may not merely have been a chronicler's politeness, as Isabella's father and brother were likewise very handsome men. Despite her youth and beauty, King Edward paid little attention to his bride, bestowing her wedding gifts upon his favorite, Piers Gaveston.
Edward and Isabella produced four children, and she suffered at least one miscarriage. The itineraries of Edward II and Queen Isabella also show that they were together 9 months prior to the births of all four surviving offspring. Their children were:
Edward, born 1312
John, born 1316
Eleanor, born 1318, married Reinoud II of Guelders
Joan of the Tower, born 1321, married David II of Scotland
Although Isabella produced four children, the king was notorious for lavishing sexual attention on a succession of male favourites, including Piers Gaveston and Hugh le Despenser the younger. He neglected Isabella, once even abandoning her in a dangerous situation in Scotland, at Tynemouth. She barely escaped Robert the Bruce's army, fleeing along the coast to English soil. Isabella despised his favorite, Hugh the younger Despenser, and in 1321, while pregnant with her youngest child, she dramatically begged Edward to banish Despenser from the kingdom. Despenser was exiled, but Edward recalled him later that year, and this act seems to have finally turned Isabella against him altogether. She may have helped Roger Mortimer escape from the Tower of London in 1323.
When her brother, King Charles IV of France, seized Edward's French possessions in 1325, she returned to France and gathered an army to oppose Edward, in alliance with Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March, who had become her lover. Enraged by this, Edward demanded that Isabella return to England. Her brother, King Charles, replied, "The queen has come of her own will and may freely return if she wishes. But if she prefers to remain here, she is my sister and I refuse to expel her."
Isabella and Mortimer left the French court in summer 1326 and went to William III, Count of Hainaut and Holland, whose wife was Isabella's cousin. He provided them with eight man-of-wars in return for a marriage contract between his daughter Philippa and Isabella's son, Edward. On September 21, 1326 Isabella and Mortimer landed at Suffolk with their mercenary army. King Edward offered a reward for their deaths, and even carried a knife in his hose with which to kill his wife, and said that if he had no other weapon he would crush her with his teeth. Isabella responded by offering double the reward for the head of Hugh the younger Despenser, in a manifesto from Wallingford Castle.
King Edward's few allies deserted him; the Despensers were killed, and Edward himself was captured and abdicated in favour of his eldest son, Edward III of England. Since the young king was only fourteen when he was crowned on January 25, 1327, Isabella and Mortimer ruled as regents in his place.
Isabella and Mortimer famously plotted to murder the deposed king in such a way as not to draw blame on themselves, sending the famous order "Edwardum occidere nolite timere bonum est" which depending on where the comma was inserted could mean either "Do not be afraid to kill Edward; it is good" or "Do not kill Edward; it is good to fear".
When Edward III attained his majority, he remembered their disloyalty, and had both Isabella and Mortimer taken prisoner, despite Isabella's cries of "Fair son, have pity on gentle Mortimer". Mortimer was executed for treason, but Isabella's life was spared and she was allowed to retire to Castle Rising Castle in Norfolk. She did not, as legend would have it, go insane; she enjoyed a comfortable retirement and made many visits to her son's court, doting on her grandchildren. Isabella took the habit of the Poor Clares before she died on August 22, 1358, and her body was returned to London for burial at the Franciscan church at Newgate. She was buried in her wedding dress, with Edward's heart interred with her.

Notes for King of England Edward Plantagenet II:
from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_II_of_England
Edward II, (April 25, 1284 – September 21, 1327), of Caernarvon, was King of England from 1307 until deposed in January, 1327. His tendency to ignore his nobility, in favour of low-born favourites, led to constant political unrest and eventually to his deposition. He is today perhaps best remembered for the brutal method of his alleged murder, which was linked to his reliance on the corrupt family of Hugh le Despenser.
Prince of Wales
The fourth son of Edward I of England by his first wife Eleanor of Castile, Edward II was born at Caernarfon Castle. He was the first English prince to hold the title of the Prince of Wales, which was formalized by the Lincoln Parliament of February 7, 1301. (The story that his father presented Edward II as a newborn to the Welsh as their future native prince is unfounded; the story first appeared in the work of 16th century Welsh "antiquary" David Powel.)
Edward became heir to the throne when he was just a few months old, upon the death of his elder brother Alfonso. His father, a notable military leader, made a point of training young Edward in warfare and statecraft starting in his childhood. The prince took part in several Scots campaigns, but "all his father's efforts could not prevent his acquiring the habits of extravagance and frivolity which he retained all through his life". The king attributed his son’s problems to Piers Gaveston, a Gascon knight some believe to have been the prince's lover. Gaveston was exiled by the king after the then Prince Edward bestowed upon him a title reserved for royalty. Ironically it was the king who had originally chosen Gaveston to be a suitable friend for his son, in 1298. When Edward I died, on July 7, 1307, the first act of the prince, now King Edward II, was to recall Gaveston. His next was to abandon the Scots campaign on which his father had set his heart.
King of England
The new king was physically as impressive as his father. He was, however, lacking in drive and ambition and was "the first king after the Conquest who was not a man of business" (Dr Stubbs). His main interest was in entertainment, though he also took pleasure in athletics and in the practice of mechanical crafts. He had been so dominated by his father that he had little confidence in himself, and was always in the hands of some favourite with a stronger will than his own.
Richard II
In the early years of his reign Gaveston held this role, acting as regent when Edward went to France, where, on January 25, 1308, he married Isabella of France, the daughter of King Philip IV of France, "Philip the Fair"; she was the sister of three French kings. The marriage was doomed to failure almost from the beginning. Isabella was neglected by her husband, who spent much of his time with the few friends he shared power with, conspiring on how to limit the powers of the Peerage in order to consolidate his father's legacy for himself. Their marriage nevertheless produced two sons, Edward (1312–1377), who would succeed his father on the throne as Edward III, and John of Eltham, Earl of Cornwall (1316–1336), and two daughters, Eleanor (1318–1355) and Joanna (1321–1362), wife of David II of Scotland. Edward had also fathered at least one illegitimate son, Adam FitzRoy, who accompanied his father in the Scottish campaigns of 1312, and who died shortly after on 18 September 1322.
Piers Gaveston, Earl of Cornwall
Edward II, depicted in Cassell's History of England, published circa 1902Gaveston received the earldom of Cornwall with the hand of the king's niece, Margaret of Gloucester. The barons grew resentful of Gaveston and twice insisted on his banishment. On each occasion Edward recalled his friend, whereupon the barons, headed by the king's cousin Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, went to war against king and favourite and in 1312 assassinated Gaveston. Edward was not strong enough to avenge his loss.
He stood aside, allowing the country to come under the rule of a baronial committee of twenty-one lords ordainers, who, in 1311, had drawn up a series of ordinances, which substituted ordainers for the king as the effective government of the country. Parliament meant to the new rulers an assembly of barons just as it had done to the opponents of Edward's grandfather, Henry III, in 1258. The Commons were excluded. The effect was to transform England from a monarchy to a narrow oligarchy.
Conflict with Scotland
During the quarrels between Edward and the "ordainers", Robert the Bruce was steadily re-conquering Scotland. His progress was so great that he had occupied all the fortresses save Stirling, which he besieged. The danger of losing Stirling shamed Edward and the barons into an attempt to retrieve their lost ground. In addition, Edward saw a chance for his sworn revenge against Lancaster, if he were to return home in front of a large, victorious army. In June 1314 Edward led a huge army into Scotland in the hope of relieving Stirling. On June 24, his ill-disciplined and badly led force was completely defeated by Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn. Henceforth Bruce was sure of his position as King of Scots, and took vengeance for Edward I's activities by devastating the northern counties of England.
Political factions
Edward II's disgraceful defeat made him more dependent on his barons than ever. Thomas of Lancaster now had an opportunity of saving England from the consequences of the king's incompetence. He had shown some ability as a leader of opposition, but lacked creativity. He was suspected of having made a secret understanding with Bruce, in hopes of keeping the king weak.
Before long the opposition split into fiercely contending factions. Under Aymer of Valence, Earl of Pembroke, a middle party arose, which hated Lancaster so much that it supported the king. After 1318, the effect of its influence was to restore Edward to some portion of his authority. However, the king hated Pembroke almost as much as Lancaster, and now found a competent alternative adviser in Hugh le Despenser, 1st Earl of Winchester, a baron of great experience.
His son, Hugh the younger Despenser, became a personal friend and favourite, who effectively replaced Gaveston. The fierce hatred which the barons had for the Despensers was equal to their hatred for his previous favourite. They were indignant at the privileges Edward lavished upon father and son, especially when the younger Despenser strove to procure for himself the earldom of Gloucester in right of his wife Eleanor de Clare, daughter of Gilbert de Clare, 7th Earl of Hertford and Joan of Acre and niece of Edward II.
Rule of the Despensers
In 1321, the barons met in parliament, and under Lancaster's guidance had Hugh le Despenser and his son banished. This inspired Edward to act. In 1322 he recalled the Despensers from exile, and waged war against the barons on their behalf. Lancaster, defeated at Boroughbridge, was executed at Pontefract. For the next five years the Despensers ruled England. Unlike the ordainers, they took pains to get the Commons on their side, and a parliament held at York in 1322 revoked the ordinances because they encroached upon the rights of the crown. From this time no statute was technically valid unless the Commons had agreed to it. This marks the most important step forward in Edward II's reign. But the rule of the Despensers soon became corrupt. Their first thought was for themselves, and they stirred up universal indignation. In particular, they excited the ill-will of the queen, Isabella of France.
Deposition by Isabella of France
A dispute broke out between England and France over the building of a fortified town in the English possession of Aquitaine by Isabella's brother Charles IV of France. The Despensers then sequestered the queen's vast estates, banished Isabella's loyal French servants and took three of her children into their custody. Eleanor de Clare was also imposed on Isabella as her 'housekeeper' to control her actions. Queen Isabella kept silence until 1325, when she went to France to negotiate a solution to the dispute. Her eldest son, Edward of Windsor, followed on later to do homage for Aquitaine to Charles IV when a settlement was reached. Isabella's polite attitude to Despenser and her husband concealed her deep animosity and she was considered loyal.
When her business was over, Isabella declined to return to her husband as long as the Despensers remained his favourites. In Paris, she formed a liaison with Roger Mortimer of Wigmore, one of the barons, who had been exiled in 1323 when he rebelled after his lands had been seized by the Despensers. On 24 September 1326 Isabella landed with a large force in Essex accompanied by Mortimer and her son, declaring that she was come to avenge the murder of Lancaster and to expel the Despensers. Edward's followers deserted him, and on October 2 he fled from London to the west, where he took refuge in the younger Despenser's estates in Glamorgan. When Isabella entered London, there was a violent revolution in her favour and weeks of anarchy followed. His wife and her army followed Edward and the Despensers, and after a futile effort to escape by sea, Edward and a handful of supporters were captured on 16 November and escorted to Monmouth Castle. According to legend, his capture took place at Pant-y-Brâd ("the dell of treachery"), near Llantrisant. He was later transferred to Kenilworth Castle. It was thought prudent to compel the captive king to resign the crown, and this occurred on January 20. The Articles of Deposition accused Edward of many offences including: being incompetent to govern, unwilling to heed good counsel, allowing himself to be controlled by evil councillors, giving himself up to unseemly works and occupations, and plundering the kingdom.
A parliament met at Westminster in January 1327, which proclaimed Edward's son to be king as Edward III. Both Despensers were tried and executed.
Life in captivity and death
Edward II's tomb at Gloucester CathedralThe government of Isabella and Mortimer was so precarious that they dared not leave the deposed king in the hands of their political enemies. On April 3 he was removed from Kenilworth and entrusted to the custody of two dependents of Mortimer. He was imprisoned at Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire. Contrary to the polemical chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker, record evidence shows that he was well-treated in captivity. It was later rumoured that Edward had been killed by the insertion of a piece of copper into his anus (later a red-hot iron rod, as in the supposed murder of Edmund Ironside), supposedly as a deserved end of a homosexual. It also supposedly had the added benefit that it would appear that the king had died a natural death; this is due to the fact that a metal tube was inserted into the rectum first, allowing the iron rod to penetrate the innards without leaving a burn on the anus. This was elaborated in a history by Sir Thomas More:
"On the night of October 11 (1327 AD) while lying in on a bed (the king) was suddenly seized and, while a great mattress... weighed him down and suffocated him, a plumber's iron, heated intensely hot, was introduced through a tube into his secret parts (into his anus) so that it burned the inner portions beyond the intestines."
This method is unnecessarily complicated, as simple suffocation would have met the objectives and so is unlikely.
Following the king's death, the rule of Isabella and Mortimer did not last long. Mortimer and Isabella made peace with the Scots with the Treaty of Northampton but this was highly unpopular. On March 19, 1330, the Earl of Kent, brother of Edward II, was executed for plotting the restoration of Edward II. Some say Mortimer had fed him the information that Edward was still alive hoping to entrap him. However Mortimer's execution of the earl lost him his remaining support. Consequently as soon as Edward III came of age in 1330, he executed Roger Mortimer on charges of treason, the most important of which was the murder of Edward II. Edward III spared Isabella and gave her a generous allowance, but he ensured that she retired from public life. She died at Hertford on 23 August 1358.
The Fieschi Letter
A letter was written to Edward III in circa 1337 by a Genoese priest Manuele de Fieschi, Bishop of Vicelli, which has been a source of controversy ever since a copy was discovered in 1878 in Montpellier, because it claims that Edward II was not murdered but escaped. Supporters of this letter say that the accounts of the murder, including le Baker's, were not written until long after Edward's death. Edward's tomb was a valuable source of revenue from pilgrims and the story of a gruesome murder would have been useful. Furthermore the events at Berkeley Castle were only known to a few people who were sworn to secrecy. No-one doubts the authenticity of Fieschi's letter, only its veracity, and it contains details that few people knew at the time and was written long before the accepted accounts of the flight, imprisonment and murder.
In the Fieschi letter the flight to Wales, the arrest, the escape to Glamorgan and imprisonment at Kenilworth and Berkeley are described. According to Fieschi Edward heard that he was to be killed and changed clothes with a servant. On reaching the gate, he is reported to have killed the gate-keeper and went to Corfe Castle where he stayed for 18 months.
Edward is then said to have stayed in Ireland for nine months, crossed to the Low Countries and travelled to Italy, visiting the Pope in Avignon on the way. Edward is then reported to have lived in monastic hermitages near Milan. Supporters of the letter say that he knew that he had no support at home and never tried to regain the throne, especially after his son, Edward III, had removed Mortimer. In the Italian town of Cecima, (75 km from Milan), there is a tradition that a king of England was buried there and there is an empty mediaeval tomb said to be the place of his burial before his body was repatriated to England by his son.
Supporters of the letter say that the elaborate funeral in Gloucester of the person supposed to be Edward II may have been that of the gate-keeper. Many local dignitaries were invited to view the body from a distance, but it had been embalmed and may have been unrecognisable. For the first time a carved wooden effigy of the dead king was carried through the streets rather than the body on a bier.
Diplomatic documents also show in 1338 that Edward III travelled to Koblenz to be installed as Vicar of the Holy Roman Empire and there he met someone called William le Galeys, or William the Welshman, who claimed to be the king's father. (Edward II was born in Caernarvon and was the first Prince of Wales.) Claiming to be the king's father would have been dangerous, and it is not known what happened to William. Many historians claim that the person was William Ockle.
Opponents of the letter say that the letter is an attempt by the bishop of Maguelone who had been sent to Germany to disrupt an Anglo-German alliance. The letter may therefore be an attempt to blackmail Edward III by undermining his position at the German court. Fieschi held various church appointments in England from 1319 and may also have been attempting to gain royal patronage.
Notes for Queen of England Isabella Capet:
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabella_of_France
Isabella of France (c.1295 – August 22, 1358), known as the She-Wolf of France, was the Queen consort of Edward II of England.
Isabella was born in Paris sometime between 1288 and 1296, the daughter of King Philip IV of France and Queen Jeanne of Navarre, and the sister of three French kings. While still an infant, her father had promised her in marriage to Edward II to resolve the conflicts between France and England over the latter's continental possession of Gascony and claims to Anjou, Normandy and Aquitaine. Pope Boniface VIII had urged the marriage as early as 1298 but was delayed by wrangling over the terms of the marriage contract. The English king, Edward I had also attempted to break the engagement several times. Only after he died in 1307 did the wedding go forward.
Her groom, the new King Edward II, looked the part of a Plantagenet king to perfection. He was tall and athletic, and wildly popular at the beginning of his reign. She married Edward at Boulogne-sur-Mer on January 25, 1308. Since he had ascended the throne the previous year, Isabella never was titled Princess of Wales.
At the time of her marriage Isabella was about twelve, described by Geoffrey of Paris as "the beauty of beauties...in the kingdom if not in all Europe." This may not merely have been a chronicler's politeness, as Isabella's father and brother were likewise very handsome men. Despite her youth and beauty, King Edward paid little attention to his bride, bestowing her wedding gifts upon his favorite, Piers Gaveston.
Edward and Isabella produced four children, and she suffered at least one miscarriage. The itineraries of Edward II and Queen Isabella also show that they were together 9 months prior to the births of all four surviving offspring. Their children were:
Edward, born 1312
John, born 1316
Eleanor, born 1318, married Reinoud II of Guelders
Joan of the Tower, born 1321, married David II of Scotland
Although Isabella produced four children, the king was notorious for lavishing sexual attention on a succession of male favourites, including Piers Gaveston and Hugh le Despenser the younger. He neglected Isabella, once even abandoning her in a dangerous situation in Scotland, at Tynemouth. She barely escaped Robert the Bruce's army, fleeing along the coast to English soil. Isabella despised his favorite, Hugh the younger Despenser, and in 1321, while pregnant with her youngest child, she dramatically begged Edward to banish Despenser from the kingdom. Despenser was exiled, but Edward recalled him later that year, and this act seems to have finally turned Isabella against him altogether. She may have helped Roger Mortimer escape from the Tower of London in 1323.
When her brother, King Charles IV of France, seized Edward's French possessions in 1325, she returned to France and gathered an army to oppose Edward, in alliance with Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March, who had become her lover. Enraged by this, Edward demanded that Isabella return to England. Her brother, King Charles, replied, "The queen has come of her own will and may freely return if she wishes. But if she prefers to remain here, she is my sister and I refuse to expel her."
Isabella and Mortimer left the French court in summer 1326 and went to William III, Count of Hainaut and Holland, whose wife was Isabella's cousin. He provided them with eight man-of-wars in return for a marriage contract between his daughter Philippa and Isabella's son, Edward. On September 21, 1326 Isabella and Mortimer landed at Suffolk with their mercenary army. King Edward offered a reward for their deaths, and even carried a knife in his hose with which to kill his wife, and said that if he had no other weapon he would crush her with his teeth. Isabella responded by offering double the reward for the head of Hugh the younger Despenser, in a manifesto from Wallingford Castle.
King Edward's few allies deserted him; the Despensers were killed, and Edward himself was captured and abdicated in favour of his eldest son, Edward III of England. Since the young king was only fourteen when he was crowned on January 25, 1327, Isabella and Mortimer ruled as regents in his place.
Isabella and Mortimer famously plotted to murder the deposed king in such a way as not to draw blame on themselves, sending the famous order "Edwardum occidere nolite timere bonum est" which depending on where the comma was inserted could mean either "Do not be afraid to kill Edward; it is good" or "Do not kill Edward; it is good to fear".
When Edward III attained his majority, he remembered their disloyalty, and had both Isabella and Mortimer taken prisoner, despite Isabella's cries of "Fair son, have pity on gentle Mortimer". Mortimer was executed for treason, but Isabella's life was spared and she was allowed to retire to Castle Rising Castle in Norfolk. She did not, as legend would have it, go insane; she enjoyed a comfortable retirement and made many visits to her son's court, doting on her grandchildren. Isabella took the habit of the Poor Clares before she died on August 22, 1358, and her body was returned to London for burial at the Franciscan church at Newgate. She was buried in her wedding dress, with Edward's heart interred with her.

Notes for the tanner's daughter Arlette:
Herleva (c. 1003 - 1050) also known as Arlette, Arletta, and Herlève, was the mother of William I of England.
The background of Herleva and the circumstances of William's birth are shrouded in mystery. The written evidence dates from a generation or two later, and is not entirely consistent. The most commonly accepted version says that she was the teenage daughter of a tanner named Fulbert from the small Norman town of Falaise, where they lived. Translation being somewhat uncertain, Fulbert may instead have been a furrier, embalmer, or a person who laid out corpses for burial.
It is argued that Herleva's father was not a tanner but rather a member of burgher class[1]. The idea is supported by the fact that her brothers appear in a later document as attestors for an under-age William. Also, the Count of Flanders later accepted Herleva as a proper guardian for his own daughter. Both facts would be nearly impossible if the father (and therefore her brothers) of Herleva was a tanner, little more than a peasant.
Legend has is that it all started when Robert, the young Duke of Normandy saw Herleva washing in the river near his castle. He was unable to resist her and took her for his mistress. She later gave birth to his son, William, in 1027, and a daughter, Adelaide, in 1030, who married first Enguerrand II of Ponthieu, second Lambert of Lens, and third Odo, count of Champagne.
Their love affair didn't last and the Duke cast his mistress aside and with his consent Herleva married Herluin de Conteville in 1031. Robert went on a successful pilgrimage in 1035 and died on his way home.
From her marriage she had two sons: Odo who later became Bishop of Bayeux and Robert who became Count of Mortain, and both of them became prominent during William's reign. They also had at least one daughter, who married William, lord of La Ferté-Macé.
Herleva probably died around 1050, probably in her forties.

Notes for King of the Franks Pepin Martel:
First Carolingian king
Since Pippin had control over the magnates and actually had the power of the king, he decided it was time to do what his father had never bothered to do: make the Carolingian name royal in law as well as fact. Pippin asked Pope Zachary who should be the royal ruler: the person with the title of King, or the person who makes the decisions as King. Since the Pope depended on the Frankish armies for his independence, and had depended on them for protection from the Lombards since the days of Charles Martel, and Pippin, as his father had, controlled those armies, the Pope's answer was determined well in advance. The Pope agreed that the de facto power was more important than the de jure power. Thus, Pippin, having obtained the support of the papacy, discouraged opposition to his house. He was elected King of the Franks by an assembly of Frankish leading-men (it must be noted he had a large portion of his army on hand, in the event that the nobility inclined not to honor the Papal Bull) and anointed at Soissons, perhaps by Boniface, Archbishop of Mainz. Meanwhile, Grifo continued his rebellion, but was eventually killed in the battle of Saint-Jean de Maurienne in 753.

Notes for Duke of the Franks Charles Martel:
Charles Martel (or, in modern English, Charles the Hammer) (23 August 686 – 22 October 741) was the mayor of the palace and duke of the Franks. He expanded his rule over all three of the Frankish kingdoms: Austrasia, Neustria, and Burgundy. Martel was born in Herstal, in what is now Wallonia, Belgium, the illegitimate son of Pippin the Middle and his concubine Alpaida (or Chalpaida).
He is best remembered for winning the Battle of Tours in 732, which has traditionally been characterized as an action saving Europe from the Muslim expansionism which had devoured Iberia. "There were no further Muslim invasions of Frankish territory, and Charles's victory has often been regarded as decisive for world history, since it preserved western Europe from Muslim conquest and Islamization." [1]
Though primarily remembered simply as the leader of the Christian army that prevailed at Tours, Charles Martel was a truly giant figure of the Dark Ages. A brilliant general in an age generally bereft of the same, he is considered the forefather of western heavy cavalry (chivalry), founder of the Carolingian Empire, and a catalyst for the feudal system that would see Europe through the Dark Ages
Consolidation of power
In December 714, Pippin the Middle died. He had, at his wife Plectrude's urging, designated Theudoald, his grandson by Plectrude's son Grimoald, his heir in the entire realm. This, however was immediately opposed by the nobles, for Theudoald was a child of eight years. Plectrude, however, was a vigorous woman and she immediately seized Charles Martel, her husband's eldest surviving son, a bastard, and put him in prison in Cologne, the city which was destined to be her capital. This prevented an uprising on his behalf in Austrasia, but not in Neustria.
Civil war of 715-718
In 715, the Neustrian noblesse proclaimed one Ragenfrid mayor of their palace on behalf of, and apparently with the support of, Dagobert III, the young king, who in fact had the legal authority to select a mayor, though by this time the Merovingian dynasty had lost most such regal powers.
The Austrasians were not to be left supporting a woman and her young boy for long. Before the end of the year, Charles Martel had escaped from prison and been acclaimed mayor by the nobles of that kingdom. The Neustrians had been attacking Austrasia and the nobles were waiting for a strong man to lead them against their invading countrymen. That year, Dagobert died and the Neustrians proclaimed Chilperic II king without the support of the rest of the Frankish people.
In 716, Chilperic and Ragenfrid together led an army into Austrasia. The Neustrians allied with another invading force under Radbod, King of the Frisians, and met Charles in battle near Cologne, still held by Plectrude. Charles had little time to gather men, or prepare, and the result was the only defeat of his life. In fact, he fled the field as soon as he realized he did not have the time or the men to prevail. He fled to the mountains of the Eifel. The king and his mayor then turned to besiege their other rival in the city and took it and the treasury, and received the recognition of both Chilperic as king and Ragenfrid as mayor. Plectrude surrendered on Theudoald's behalf.
At this juncture, events turned in favour of Charles. Having made the proper preparations, Charles fell upon the triumphant army, as it returned to its own province, near Malmedy and, in the ensuing Battle of Amblève, routed it and it fled. Several things were notable about this battle. First, Charles set the pattern for the remainder of his military career: he appeared where his enemies least expected him, while they were marching triumphantly home and far outnumberred him. He also attacked when least expected, during midday, when armies of that age traditionally were resting, and he attacked them how they least expected it—he used a feigned retreat to draw his opponents into a trap.The feigned retreat was next to unknown in Western Europe at that time: it was a traditionally eastern tactic. As a tactic, it required both extraordinary discipline on the part of the troops and exact timing on the part of their commander. In short, Charles had begun demonstrating the military genius that would mark his rule, in that he never attacked his enemies where, when, or how they expected, and the result was a victory streak until his death.
In Spring 717, Charles returned to Neustria with an army and confirmed his supremacy with a victory at Vincy, near Cambrai. He chased the fleeing king and mayor to Paris before turning back to deal with Plectrude and Cologne. He took the city and dispersed her adherents. He allowed both Plectrude and Theudoald to live, and treated them with kindness—unusual for those Dark Ages, when mercy to a former jailer, or a potential rival, was rare. On this success, he proclaimed one Clotaire IV king of Austrasia in opposition to Chilperic and deposed the archbishop of Rheims, Rigobert, replacing him with one Milo, a lifelong supporter.
After subjugating all Austrasia, he marched against Radbod and pushed him back into his territory, even forcing the concession of West Frisia (later Holland). He also sent the Saxons back over the Weser and thus secured his borders—in the name of the new king, of course. More than any other prior mayor of the palace, however, absolute power lay with Charles. Though he never cared about titles; his son Pippin did, and finally asked the Pope "who should be King, he who has the title, or he who has the power?" The Pope, highly dependent on Frankish armies for his independence from Lombard and Bzyantine power (the Byzantine emperor still considered himself to be the only legitimate "Roman" Emperor, and thus, ruler of all of the provinces of the ancient empire, whether recognised or not), declared for "he who had the power" and immediately crowned Pippin. Decades later, in 800, Pippin's son, Charlemagne, was crowned emperor by the pope, further extending the "he who had the power" principle by delegitimising the nominal authority of the Byzantine emperor in the Italian peninsula (which had, by then, shrunk to little more than Apulia and Calabria at best) and ancient Roman Gaul, including the Iberian outposts Charlmagne had established in the Marca Hispanica across the Pyrenees, what today forms Catalonia. In short, though the Byzantine Emperor claimed authority over all the old Roman Empire, as the legitimate "Roman" Emperor, and this may have been legally true, it was simply not reality. The bulk of the Western Roman Empire had come under Carolingian rule, the Bzyantine Emperor having had almost no authority in the West since the sixth century, though Charlemagne, a consummate politican, preferred to avoid an open breach with Constantinople. What was occurring was the birth of an institution unique in history: the Holy Roman Empire. Though the sardonic Voltaire ridiculed its nomenclature, saying that the Holy Roman Empire was "neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire," it constitued an enormous political power for a time, especially under the Saxon and Salian dynasties and, to a lesser, extent, the Hohenstaufen. It lasted until 1806, by then a nonentity. Though his grandson became its first emperor, the "empire" such as it was, was largely born during the reign of Charles Martel.
In 718, Chilperic, in response to Charles' new ascendancy, allied with Odo the Great (or Eudes, as he is sometimes known), the duke of Aquitaine, who had made himself independent during the civil war in 715, but was again defeated, at Soissons, by Charles. The king fled with his ducal ally to the land south of the Loire and Ragenfrid fled to Angers. Soon Clotaire IV died and Odo gave up on Chilperic and, in exchange for recognising his dukeship, surrendered the king to Charles, who recognised his kingship over all the Franks in return for legitimate royal affirmation of his mayoralty, likewise over all the kingdoms (718).
Foreign wars from 718-732
The ensuing years were full of strife. Between 718 and 723, Charles secured his power through a series of victories: he won the loyalty of several important bishops and abbots (by donating lands and money for the foundation of abbeys such as Echternach), he subjugated Bavaria and Alemannia, and he defeated the pagan Saxons.
Having unified the Franks under his banner, Charles was determined to punish the Saxons who had invaded Austrasia. Therefore, late in 718, he laid waste their country to the banks of the Weser, the Lippe, and the Ruhr. He defeated them in the Teutoburg Forest and, in doing so, became the first outside power since the legions of Varus in AD 9 to venture into that forest. Unlike Rome, he defeated the inhabitants with ease. In 719, Charles seized West Frisia without any great resistance on the part of the Frisians, who had been subjects of the Franks but had seized control upon the death of Pippin. Charles did not trust the pagans, but their ruler, Aldegisel, accepted Christianity and Willibrord, bishop of Utrecht, the famous "Apostle to the Frisians," went to convert the people at Charles behest. Charles also did much to support Winfrid, later Saint Boniface, the "Apostle of the Germans."
When Chilperic II died the following year (720), Charles appointed as his successor the son of Dagobert III, Theuderic IV, who was still a minor, and who occupied the throne from 720 to 737. Charles was now appointing the kings whom he supposedly served, these rois fainéants were mere puppets in his hands and by the end of his reign, they were so useless, he didn't even bother appointing one. At this time, Charles again marched against the Saxons. Then, the Neustrians rebelled under Ragenfrid, who had been left the county of Anjou. They were easily defeated (724), but Ragenfrid gave up his sons as hostages in turn for keeping his county. This ended the civil wars of Charles' reign.
The next six years were devoted in their entirity to assuring Frankish authority over the dependent Germanic tribes. Between 720 and 723, Charles was fighting in Bavaria, where the Agilolfing dukes had gradually evolved into independent rulers, recently in alliance with Liutprand the Lombard. He forced the Alemanni to accompany him, and Duke Hugbert submitted to Frankish suzerainty. In 725 and 728, he again entered Bavaria and the ties of lordship seemed strong. From his first campaign, he brought back the Agilolfing princess Swanachild, who apparently became his concubine. In 730, he marched against Lantfrid, duke of Alemannia, who had also become independent, and killed him in battle. He forced the Alemanni capitulation to Frankish suzerainty and did not appoint a successor to Lantfrid. Thus, southern Germany once more became part of the Frankish kingdom, as had northern Germany during the first years of the reign.
But by 730, his own realm secure, Charles began to prepare exclusively for the coming storm from the west.
In 721, the emir of Córdoba had built up a strong army from Morocco, Yemen, and Syria to conquer Aquitaine, the large duchy in the southwest of Gaul, nominally under Frankish sovereignty, but in practice almost independent in the hands of the Odo the Great since the Merovingian kings had lost power. The invading Muslims besieged the city of Toulouse, then Aquitaine's most important city, and Odo immediately left to find help. He returned three months later just before the city was about to surrender and defeated the Muslim invaders on June 9, 721, at what is now known as the Battle of Toulouse. The defeat was essentially the result of a classic enveloping movement on Odo's part. After Odo originally fled, the Muslims became overconfident and, instead of maintaining strong outer defenses around their siege camp and continuing scouting, did neither. Thus, when Odo returned, he was able to launch a near complete surprise attack on the besieging force, scattering it at the first attack, and slaughtering units which were resting, or who fled without weapons or armour.
Charles had watched the Iberian situation since Toulouse, convinced the Muslims would return, and while he was securing his own realms, he was also preparing for war against the Umayyads. It is vital to note that Charles had used an extremely — for the time — controversial method of maintaining a standing army, one he could train as a core of veterans to add to the usual conscripts the Franks called up in time of war. During the Early Middle Ages, troops were only available after the crops had been planted, and before harvesting time. Charles believed he needed a standing army, one he could train, to counter the Muslim heavy cavalry, of which, at the time, he had none. To train the kind of infantry which could withstand heavy cavalry, Charles needed them year-round, and he needed to pay them, so their families could buy the food they would have otherwise grown. To obtain this money, he seized church lands and property, and used the funds to pay his soldiers. The same Charles who had secured the support of the ecclesia by donating land, seized some of it back between 724 and 732. The Church was enraged, and, for a time, it looked as though Charles might even be excommunicated for his actions. But then came a significant invasion.
Eve of Tours
It has been noted that Charles Martel could have pursued the wars against the Saxons—but he was determined to prepare for what he thought was a greater danger. Instead of concentrating on conquest to his east, he prepared for the storm gathering in the west. Well aware of the danger posed by the Muslims after the Battle of Toulouse, in 721, it has been explained that he used the intervening years to consolidate his power, and gather and train a veteran army that would stand ready to defend Christianity itself (at Tours).
It is also vital to note that the Muslims were not aware, at that time, of the true strength of the Franks, or the fact that they were building a real army, not the typical barbarian hordes which had infested Europe after Rome's fall. They considered the Germanic tribes, of which the Franks were part, simply barbarians and were not particularly concerned about them. (the Arab Chronicles, the history of that age, show that awareness of the Franks as a growing military power came only after the Battle of Tours when the Caliph expressed shock at his army's disastrous defeat) Further, the Muslims had not bothered with the normal scouting of potential foes, for if they had, they surely would have noted Charles Martel as a force to be reckoned with in his own account. Martel's thorough domination of Europe from 717 on, and his sound defeat of all powers who contested his dominion, should have alerted the Moors that, not only was a real power rising in the ashes of the Western Roman Empire, but a truly gifted general was leading it. Thus, when they launched their great invasion of 732, they were not prepared to confront Martel and his Frankish army.
This, in retrospect, was a disastrous mistake. Emir Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi was a good general and should have done two things he failed to do.
The emir failed to assess the strength of the Franks in advance of invasion assumimg that they would not come to the aid of their Aquitanian cousins; and he failed to scout the movements of the Frankish army and Charles Martel. Having done either, he would have curtailed his lighthorse ravaging throughout lower Gaul, and marched at once, with his full power, against the Franks. This strategy would have nullified every advantage Charles had at Tours: the invaders would have not been burdened with booty that played such a huge role in the battle. They would not have lost a single warrior in the battles they fought prior to Tours. (Although they lost relatively few men subduing Aquitane, they did suffer some casualties - losses that may have been significant at Tours).
Finally, the Moors would have bypassed weaker oppononts such as Odo, whom they could have picked off at will later, while moving at once to force battle with the real power in Europe, and at least partially picked the battlefield. While some military historians point out that leaving enemies in your rear is generally unwise, the Mongols proved that indirect attack and bypassing weaker foes to eliminate the strongest first is a devastatingly effective mode of invasion. In this case, those enemies posed virtually no danger, given the ease with which the Muslims destroyed them. The real danger was Charles and the failure to scout Europe adequately proved disasterous. Had Emir Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi realized how thoroughly Martel had dominated Europe for 15 years, and how gifted a commander he was, he would not have allowed Charles Martel to pick the time and place the two powers would collide, which historians agree was pivotal to his victory.
Leadup and importance
The Cordoban emirate had previously invaded Gaul and had been stopped in its northward sweep at the Battle of Toulouse, in 721. The hero of that less celebrated event had been Odo the Great, Duke of Aquitane, who was not the progenitor of a race of kings and patron of chroniclers. It has previously been explained how Odo defeated the invading Muslims, but when they returned, things were far different. In the interim, the arrival of a new emir of Cordoba, Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi, who brought with him a huge force of Arabs and Berber horsemen, triggered a far greater invasion. Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi had been at Toulouse, and the Arab Chronicles make clear he had strongly opposed the decisions of the then Emir to not secure outer defenses against a relief force, which allowed Odo and his infantry to attack with impunity before the Islamic cavalry could even assemble or mount. Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi had no intention of permitting such a disaster again. This time the Muslim horsemen were ready for battle, and the results were horrific for the Aquintanians. Odo, hero of Toulouse, was badly defeated in the Muslim invasion of 732 at the Battle of the River Garonne—where the western chroniclers state, "God alone knows the number of the slain"— and the city of Bordeaux was sacked and looted. Odo fled to Charles, seeking help. Thus, Odo faded into history, and Charles marched into it.
The Battle of Tours earned Charles the cognomen "Martel", for the merciless way he hammered his enemies. Many historians, including the great military historian Sir Edward Creasy, believe that had he failed at Tours, Islam would probably have overrun Gaul, and perhaps the remainder of western Christian Europe. No power existed, had Martel fallen at Tours, to stop the Muslims from conquering and occupying Italy, and Rome, in addition to all of Western Europe. Certainly, Gibbon made clear he believed the Muslims would have conquered from Rome to the Rhine, and even England, with ease, had Martel not prevailed. Other reputable historians that echo Creasy's belief that this battle was central to the halt of Islamic expansion into Europe include William Watson, and Gibbon believed the fate of Christianity hinged on this battle. This opinion was very popular for most of modern historiography, but it fell somewhat out of style in the twentieth century. Some historians, such as Bernard Lewis, claimed that Arabs had little intention of occupying northern France. This opinion has once more fallen out of style, and the Battle of Tours is usually considered by historians today as a very significant event in the history of Europe and Christianity.
In the modern era, John Julius Norwich, the most widely-read authority on the Byzantine Empire, says the Franks halting Muslim Expansion at Tours may have literally preserved Christianity as we know it. Certainly all historians agree that no power would have remained in Europe able to halt Islamic expansion had the Franks failed. While some modern assessments of the battle's impact have backed away from the extreme of Gibbon's position, Gibbon's conjecture is supported by other historians such as Edward Shepard Creasy and William E. Watson. Most modern historians such as Norwich and Antonio Santosuosso generally support the concept of Tours as a macrohistorical event favoring western civilization and Christianity. Military writers such as Robert W. Martin, "The Battle of Tours is still felt today," also argue that Tours was such a turning point in favor of western civilization and Christianity that its after-effect remains to this day.
Battle
The Battle of Tours probably took place somewhere between Tours and Poitiers (hence its other name: Battle of Poitiers). The Frankish army, under Charles Martel, consisted mostly of veteran infantry, somewhere between 15,000 and 75,000 men. Responding to the Muslim invasion, the Franks had avoided the old Roman roads, hoping to take the invaders by surprise. Martel believed it was absolutely essential that he not only take the Muslims by surprise, but that he be allowed to select the ground on which the battle would be fought, ideally a high, wooded plain where the Islamic horsemen, already tired from carrying armour, would be further exhausted charging uphill. Further, the woods would aid the Franks in their defensive square by partially impeding the ability of the Muslim horsemen to make a clear charge.
From the Muslim accounts of the battle, they were indeed taken by surprise to find a large force opposing their expected sack of Tours, and they waited for six days, scouting the enemy, and summoning all their raiding parties so their full strength was present for the battle. Emir Abdul Rahman was a good general, and did not like the unknown at all, and he did not like charging uphill against an unknown number of foes who seemed well-disciplined and well-disposed for battle. But the weather was also a factor. The Germanic Franks, in their wolf and bear pelts, were more used to the cold, better dressed for it, and despite not having tents, which the Muslims did, were prepared to wait as long as needed, the fall only growing colder.
On the seventh day, the Muslim army, consisting of between 60,000 and 400,000 horsemen and led by Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi, attacked. During the battle, the Franks defeated the Islamic army and the emir was killed. While Western accounts are sketchy, Arab accounts are fairly detailed in describing how the Franks formed a large square and fought a brilliant defensive battle. Rahman had doubts before the battle that his men were ready for such a struggle, and should have had them abandon the loot which hindered them, but instead decided to trust his horsemen, who had never failed him. Indeed, it was thought impossible for infantry of that age to withstand armoured cavalry.
Martel managed to inspire his men to stand firm against a force which must have seemed invincible to them, huge mailed horsemen, who, in addition, probably vastly outnumbered the Franks. In one of the rare instances where medieval infantry stood up against cavalry charges, the disciplined Frankish soldiers withstood the assaults, though according to Arab sources, the Arab cavalry several times broke into the interior of the Frankish square. But despite this, Franks did not break, and it is probably best expressed by a translation of an Arab account of the battle from the Medieval Source Book:
"And in the shock of the battle the men of the North seemed like a sea that cannot be moved. Firmly they stood, one close to another, forming as it were a bulwark of ice; and with great blows of their swords they hewed down the Arabs. Drawn up in a band around their chief, the people of the Austrasians carried all before them. Their tireless hands drove their swords down to the breasts of the foe."
Both accounts agree that the Muslims had broken into the square, were trying to kill Martel, whose liege men had surrounded him and would not be broken, and the battle was still in grave doubt, when a trick Charles had planned before the battle bore fruit beyond his wildest dreams. Both Western and Muslim accounts of the battle agree that sometime during the height of the fighting, scouts sent by Martel to the Muslim camp began freeing prisoners, and fearing loss of their plunder, a large portion of the Muslim army abandoned the battle, and returned to camp to protect their spoils. In attempting to stop what appeared to be a retreat, Abdul Rahman was surrounded and killed by the Franks, and what started as a ruse ended up a real retreat, as the Muslim army fled the field that day.
Both histories agree that while attempting to stop the retreat, Abd er Rahman became surrounded, which led to his death, and the Muslims then withdrew altogether to their camp. The Franks resumed their planlax, and rested in place through the night, believing the battle would resume at dawn of the following morning.
The next day, when the Muslims did not renew the battle, the Franks feared an ambush. Charles at first believed the Muslims were attempting to lure him down the hill and into the open - the one tactic he knew he had to avoid at all costs. Only after extensive reconnaissance by Frankish soldiers of the Muslim camp - which by both accounts had been hastily abandoned, even the tents remaining, as the Muslim forces headed back to Iberia with what spoils remained that they could carry -- was it discovered that the Muslims had retreated during the night. Later, the Arab Chronicles would reveal that the varying generals from the different parts of the Caliphate, Berbers, Arabs, Persians and far more, could not agree on a leader to take Abd er Rahman 's place as Emir, or even a single battlefield commander. Only the Emir, Abd er Rahman, had a Fatwa from the Caliph, and thus absolute authority over the faithful under arms. With his death, and the varied nationalities and ethnicities present in an army drawn from all over the Caliphate, politics, racial and ethnic bias, and personalities reared their head, and the surviving generals, bickering among themselves, were unable to agree on a commander to lead them the following day. It was that inability to select anyone to lead, which led to the wholesale withdrawal of an army that probably still could have defeated the Franks. Martel's ability to have Abd er Rahman killed when he could, using a clever ruse he had carefully planned to cause confusion, at the battle's apex, combined with years of rigorously training his men to do what was thought impossible: Martel's Franks, virtually all infantry without armour, managed to withstand both mailed heavy cavalry with 20 foot lances, and bow-wielding light cavalry, without the aid of bows or firearms. [2] This was a feat of war almost unheard of in medieval history, a feat which even the heavily armored Roman legions proved themselves incapable of against the Parthians, [3]and left Martel a unique place in history as the savior of Europe [4] and a brilliant general in an age not known for its generalship.
After Tours
In the subsequent decade, Charles led the Frankish army against the eastern duchies, Bavaria and Alemannia, and the southern duchies, Aquitaine and Provence. He dealt with the ongoing conflict with the Frisians and Saxons to his northeast with some success, but full conquest of the Saxons and their incorporation into the Frankish empire would wait for his grandson Charlemagne, primarily because Martel concentrated the bulk of his efforts against Muslim expansion.
So instead of concentrating on conquest to his east, he continued expanding Frankish authority in the west, and denying the Emirite of Córdoba a foothold in Europe. After his victory at Tours, Martel continued on in campaigns in 736 and 737 to drive other Muslim armies from bases in Gaul after they again attempted to get a foothold in Europe beyond al-Andalus.
Wars from 732-737
Between his victory of 732 and 735, Charles reorganized the kingdom of Burgundy, replacing the counts and dukes with his loyal supporters, thus strengthening his hold on power. He was forced, by the ventures of Radbod, duke of the Frisians (719-734), son of the Duke Aldegisel who had accepted the missionaries Willibrord and Boniface, to invade independence-minded Frisia again in 734. In that year, he slew the duke, who had expelled the Christian missionaries, in battle and so wholly subjugated the populace (he destroyed every pagan shrine) that the people were peaceful for twenty years after.
The dynamic changed in 735 because of the death of Odo the Great, who had been forced to acknowledge, albeit reservedly, the suzerainty of Charles in 719. Though Charles wished to unite the duchy directly to himself and went there to elicit the proper homage of the Aquitainians, the nobility proclaimed Odo's son, Hunold, whose dukeship Charles recognised when the Arabs invaded Provence the next year, and who equally was forced to acknowledge Charles as overlord as he had no hope of holding off the Muslims alone.
This naval Arab invasion was headed by Abdul Rahman's son. It landed in Narbonne in 736 and moved at once to reinforce Arles and move inland. Charles temporarily put the conflict with Hunold on hold, and descended on the Provençal strongholds of the Muslims. In 736, he retook Montfrin and Avignon, and Arles and Aix-en-Provence with the help of Liutprand, King of the Lombards. Nîmes, Agde, and Béziers, held by Islam since 725, fell to him and their fortresses were destroyed. He crushed one Muslim army at Arles, as that force sallied out of the city, and then took the city itself by a direct and brutal frontal attack, and burned it to the ground to prevent it's use again as a stronghold for Muslim expansion. He then moved swiftly and defeated a mighty host outside of Narbonnea at the River Berre, but failed to take the city. Military historians believe he could have taken it, had he chosen to tie up all his resources to do so - but he believed his life was coming to a close, and he had much work to do to prepare for his sons to take control of the Frankish realm. A direct frontal assault, such as took Arles, using rope ladders and rams, plus a few catapults, simply was not sufficient to take Narbonne without horrific loss of life for the Franks, troops Martel felt he could not lose. Nor could he spare years to starve the city into submission, years he needed to set up the administration of an empire his heirs would reign over. He left Narbonne therefore, isolated and surrounded, and his son would return to liberate it for Christianity. Provence, however, he successfully rid of its foreign occupiers, and crushed all foreign armies able to advance Islam further.
Notable about these campaigns was Charles' incorporation, for the first time, of heavy cavalry with stirrups to augment his phalanx. His ability to coordinate infantry and cavalry veterans was unequaled in that era and enabled him to face superior numbers of invaders, and to decisively defeat them again and again. Some historians believe the Battle against the main Muslim force at the River Berre, near Narbonne, in particular was as important a victory for Christian Europe as Tours. In Barbarians, Marauders, and Infidels, Antonio Santosuosso, Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Western Ontario, and considered an expert historian in the era in dispute, puts forth an interesting modern opinion on Martel, Tours, and the subsequent campaigns against Rahman's son in 736-737. Santosuosso presents a compelling case that these later defeats of invading Muslim armies were at least as important as Tours in their defence of Western Christendom and the preservation of Western monasticism, the monasteries of which were the centers of learning which ultimately led Europe out of her Dark Ages. He also makes a compelling argument, after studying the Arab histories of the period, that these were clearly armies of invasion, sent by the Caliph not just to avenge Tours, but to conquer Christian Europe and bring it into the Caliphate.
Further, unlike his father at Tours, Rahman's son in 736-737 knew that the Franks were a real power, and that Martel personally was a force to be reckoned with. He had no intention of allowing Martel to catch him unawares and dictate the time and place of battle, as his father had, and concentrated instead on seizing a substantial portion of the coastal plains around Narbonne in 736 and heavily reinforced Arles as he advanced inland. They planned from there to move from city to city, fortifying as they went, and if Martel wished to stop them from making a permanent enclave for expansion of the Caliphate, he would have to come to them, in the open, where, he, unlike his father, would dictate the place of battle. All worked as he had planned, until Martel arrived, abeit more swiftly than the Moors believed he could call up his entire army. Unfortunately for Rahman's son, however, he had overestimated the time it would take Martel to develop heavy cavalry equal to that of the Muslims. The Caliphate believed it would take a generation, but Martel managed it in five short years. Prepared to face the Frankish phalanx, the Muslims were totally unprepared to face a mixed force of heavy cavalry and infantry in a phalanx. Thus, Charles again championed Christianity and halted Muslim expansion into Europe, as the window was closing on Islamic ability to do so. These defeats were the last great attempt at expansion by the Umayyad Caliphate before the destruction of the dynasty at the Battle of the Zab, and the rending of the Caliphate forever, especially the utter destruction of the Muslim army at River Berre near Narbonne in 737.
Interregnum
In 737, at the tail end of his campaigning in Provence and Septimania, the king, Theuderic IV, died. Martel, titling himself maior domus and princeps et dux Francorum, did not appoint a new king and nobody acclaimed one. The throne lay vacant until Martel's death. As the historian Charles Oman says (The Dark Ages, pg 297), "he cared not for name or style so long as the real power was in his hands." Echoing Oman, Norwich has said:
He kept no court, cared not for titles, and the thought of a crown amused him. All that interested him was the true essence of power, and what could be done with it. He believed he had a mission to preserve what his ancestors had struggled so to build after Rome's fall, and intended that it not be destroyed during his stewardship. For a man of such enormous power—the real master of today's Europe at his life's end—he cared naught for show, but only for results.
The interregnum, the final four years of Charles' life, was more peaceful than most of it had been and much of his time was now spent on administrative and organisational plans to create a more efficient state. Though, in 738, he compelled the Saxons of Westphalia to do him homage and pay tribute, and in 739 checked an uprising in Provence, the rebels being under the leadership of Maurontus. Charles set about integrating the outlying realms of his empire into the Frankish church. He erected four dioceses in Bavaria (Salzburg, Regensburg, Freising, and Passau) and gave them Boniface as archbishop and metropolitan over all Germany east of the Rhine, with his seat at Mainz. Boniface had been under his protection from 723 on, indeed the saint himself explained to his old friend, Daniel of Winchester, that without it he could neither administer his church, defend his clergy, nor prevent idolatry. It was Boniface who had defended Charles most stoutly for his deeds in seizing ecclesiastical lands to pay his army in the days leading to Tours, as one doing what he must to defend christianity. In 739, Pope Gregory III begged Charles for his aid against Liutprand. But Charles was loathe to fight his onetime ally and ignored the Papal plea. Nonetheless, the Papal applications for Frankish protection showed how far Martel had come from the days he was tottering on excommunication, and set the stage for his son and grandson to literally rearrange Italy to suit the Papacy, and protect it.
Death
Charles Martel died on October 22, 741, at Quierzy-sur-Oise in what is today the Aisne département in the Picardy region of France. He was buried at Saint Denis Basilica in Paris. His territories were divided among his adult sons a year earlier: to Carloman he gave Austrasia and Alemannia (with Bavaria as a vassal), to Pippin the Younger Neustria and Burgundy (with Aquitaine as a vassal), and to Grifo nothing, though some sources indicate he intended to give him a strip of land between Neustria and Austrasia.
German historians are especially fervant in their praise of Martel, and their belief that he saved Europe and Christianity from then all-conquering Islam, while they also praise him as driving back the ferocious Saxon barbarians on his borders. Schlegel speaks of this " mighty victory " in terms of fervent gratitude, and tells how " the arm of Charles Martel saved and delivered the Christian nations of the West from the deadly grasp of all-destroying Islam", and Ranke points out,
"as one of the most important epochs in the history of the world, the commencement of the eighth century, when on the one side Mohammedanism threatened to overspread Italy and Gaul, and on the other the ancient idolatry of Saxony and Friesland once more forced its way across the Rhine. In this peril of Christian institutions, a youthful prince of Germanic race, Karl Martell, arose as their champion, maintained them with all the energy which the necessity for self-defence calls forth, and finally extended them into new regions."
He is considered a hero in the Netherlands, a vital part of the Carolingian Empire, and the low countries. In both France and (especially in) Germany, he is revered as a hero of epic proportions.
Gibbon called him "the paramount prince of his age" and a strong argument can be made that Gibbon was absolutely correct.
Legacy
At the beginning of Charles Martel's career, he had many internal opponents and felt the need to appoint his own kingly claimant, Clotaire IV. By his end, however, the dynamics of rulership in Francia had changed, no hallowed Meroving was needed, neither for defence nor legitimacy: Charles divided his realm between his sons without opposition (though he ignored his young son Bernard. In between, he strengthened the Frankish state by consistently defeating, through superior generalship, the host of hostile foreign nations which beset it on all sides, including the heathen Saxons, which his grandson Charlemagne would fully subdue, and Moors, which he halted on a path of continental domination.
Charles was that rarest of commodities in the Dark Ages: a brilliant stategic general, who also was a tactical commander par excellance, able in the crush and heat of battle to adapt his plans to his foes forces and movement — and amazingly, defeated them repeatedly, especially when, as at Tours, they were far superior in men and weaponry, and at Berre and Narbonne, when they were superior in numbers of brave fighting men. Charles had the last quality which defines genuine greatness in a military commander: he foresaw the dangers of his foes, and prepared for them with care; he used ground, time, place, and fierce loyalty of his troops to offset his foes superior weaponry and tactics; third, he adapted, again and again, to the enemy on the battlefield, cooly shifting to compensate for the unforeseen and unforeseeable.
He was also a skilled administrator and ruler, organizing what would become the medieval european government - a system of fiefdoms, loyal to barons, counts, dukes and ultimately the King, or in his case, simply maior domus and princeps et dux Francorum. ("First or Dominant Mayor and Prince of the Franks") His close coordination of church with state also began the medieval pattern for such government. He created the first western standing army since the fall of Rome. In essence, he changed Europe from a horde of barbarians fighting with one another, to an organized state.
Beginning of the Reconquista
Although it took another two generations for the Franks to drive all the Arab garrisons out of Septimania and across the Pyrenees, Charles Martel's halt of the invasion of French soil turned the tide of Islamic advances, and the unification of the Frankish kingdoms under Martel, his son Pippin the Younger, and his grandson Charlemagne created a western power which prevented the Emirate of Córdoba from expanding over the Pyrenees. Martel, who in 732 was on the verge of excommunication, instead was recognised by the Church as its paramount defender. Pope Gregory II wrote him more than once, asking his protection and aid [5], and he remained, till his death, fixated on stopping the Muslims. Martel's son Pippin the Younger kept his father's promise and returned and took Narbonne by siege in 759, and his grandson, Charlemagne, actually established the Marca Hispanica across the Pyrenees in part of what today is Catalonia, reconquering Girona in 785 and Barcelona in 801. This sector of what is now Spain was then called "The Moorish Marches" by the Carolingians, who saw it as not just a check on the Muslims in Iberia, but the beginning of taking the entire country back. This formed a permanent buffer zone against Islam, which became the basis, along with the King of Asturias, named Pelayo (718-737, who started his fight against the Moors in the mountains of Covadonga, 722) and his descendants, for the Reconquista until all of the Muslims were expelled from Iberia.
Military legacy
In his vision of what would be necessary for him to withstand a larger force and superior technology (the Muslim horsemen had the stirrup, which made the first knights possible), he, daring not to send his few horsemen against the Islamic cavalry, trained his army to fight in a formation used by the ancient Greeks to withstand superior numbers and weapons by discipline, courage, and a willingness to die for their cause: a phalanx. It is notable he trained his men year round, using mostly Church funds. After using this infantry force by itself at Tours, he studied the foe's forces, and further adapted to them; initially using stirrups and saddles from the foe's dead horses recoverred from the battlefield, and armour from the dead horsemen. After 732, he began the integration of heavy cavalry, using the stirrup, and mailed armour, into his army, and trained his infantry to fight in conjunction with cavalry, a tactic which stood him in good stead during his campaigns of 736-7, especially at the Battle of Narbonne. Martel's ability to use what he had, integrate new ideas and technology, earned him his reputation for brilliant generalship in an age generally bereft of same, and was the reason he was undefeated from 716 to his death, against a wide range of opponents, including the Muslim cavalry, at that time the world's best, and the fierce barbarian Saxons on his own borders, and despite virtually always being outnumbered. His incorporation of heavy armoured cavalry into the western forces created the first "knights" in the west. He was the only general in the Dark Ages in Europe to use the eastern battle technique of feigned retreat. His ability to attack where he was least expected, when he was least expected, and how he was least expected, were legendary. The process of the development of the famous chivalry of France continued in the Edict of Pistres of his great-great-grandson and namesake Charles the Bald.
The defeats Martel inflicted on the Muslims were absolutely vital in that the split in the Islamic world left the Caliphate unable to mount an all out attack on Europe via its Iberian stronghold after 750. His ability to meet this challenge, until the Muslims self destructed, is of macrohisorical importance, and is why Dante writes of him in Heaven as one of the "Defenders of the Faith." After 750, the door to Europe, the Iberian emirate, was in the hands of the Umayyads, while most of the remainder of the Muslim world came under the control of the Abbasids, making an invasion of Europe a logistical impossibility while the two Muslim empires battled. This put off Islamic invasion of Europe until the Turkish conquest of the Balkans half a millennium later.
It is notable that just as his grandson, Charlemagne, would become famous for his swift and unexpected movements in his campaigns, Charles was legendary for being where he was not expected, and never doing what his enemies forecast he would do. It was this ability to do the unforeseen, and move far faster than his opponents believed he could, that characterized the military career of Charles Martel.
It is also interesting that the Northmen did not begin their horrific raids until after the death of Martel's grandson, Charlemagne. They had the naval capacity to begin those raids at least three generations earlier, but chose not to challenge Martel, his son Pippin, or his grandson, Charlemagne. This was probably fortunate for Martel, who despite his enormous gifts, would probably not have been able to beat off the Vikings in addition to the Muslims, Saxons, and everyone else he defeated. However, it is notable that again, despite the ability to do so, (the Danes had constructed defenses to defend from counterattacks by land, and had the ability to launch their wholesale sea raids as early as Martel's reign), they chose not to challange Charles Martel.

Son of Saint Sigebert III, king of Austrasia, an area found in modern France and Germany. Upon Sigebert's death in 656 when Dagobert was still a child, the throne was stolen by Dagobert's guardian Gimoald in order to make his own son, Childebert, king. Dagobert was kidnapped and exiled to Ireland and England where he was placed with Dido, bishop of Portiers. He attended school at the court of the king. Friend of Saint Wilfred of York. He married an English princess, and had several children including Saint Irmina of Oehren and Saint Adela. Fought against Theodercus III. Eventually recalled to Austrasia for a supposed reunion, he died in a "hunting accident" that most considered a murder committed to permanently remove him from the throne.

Notes for King of the Salian Franks Merowig/Merovich:
Merowig (fl. c.450) (Latin: Meroveus or Merovius; German: Merowech; Spanish: Meroveo; French: Mérovée, other spellings include Merovech, Merovich, Merwich) is the legendary founder of the Merovingian Dynasty of Frankish Kings. He was King of the Salian Franks in the years after 450. No contemporary record of him exists, and there is little information about him in the later histories of the Franks. Gregory of Tours records him as the possible son of Clodio. He was supposed to have led the Franks in the Battle of Chalons in 451.
According to legend, Merowig was conceived when Clodio's wife encountered a Quinotaur, a sea monster which could change shapes while swimming. Though never stated, it is implied that she was impregnated by it. This legend was related by Fredegar in the seventh century, and may have been known earlier.
The legend is probably a back-formation or folk etymology used to explain the Salian Franks' origin as a sea coast dwelling people, and based on the name itself. The "Mero-" or "Mer-" element in the name suggests a sea or ocean (see Old English "mere," Latin "mare," or even the Modern English word "mermaid," etc.). The "Salian" in "Salian Franks" is, in fact, a reference to salt, a reminder of their pre-migration home on the shores of the North Sea.
The "-wig/weg/veus" part of the name could have been seen as a reference to a traveller, trail, or conveyance (see German "weg," Latin "via," or even the Modern English word "way"). By this interpretation, "Merowig," "Mérovée," et al. would simply mean "from the sea."
A slight variant of this interpretation would follow through the Old High German/Old Saxon word "wiht," (thing or demon"), related to the now-obsolete English word "wight" (meaning a human or human-like creature). Thus, "Merowig" and its spelling variants could easily have been rationalized by Frankish chroniclers as a reference to a sea-creature of some sort, thereby giving rise to the sea-origin legend -- whatever the original meaning of the name.
Merowig was the father of Childeric I who succeeded him.

Reference in popular culture
The legend about Merowig's conception was adapted in 1982 by authors Henry Lincoln and Richard Leigh in the 1982 book Holy Blood Holy Grail, as the seed of a new idea. They hypothesized that this "descended from a fish" legend was actually referring to the concept that the Merovingian line had married into the bloodline of Jesus Christ, since the symbol for early Christians had also been a fish. This theory, with no other basis than Lincoln and Leigh's concoction, was further popularized in 2003 via Dan Brown's bestselling novel, The Da Vinci Code.

Notes for Pharamond:
Clodio1 (c. 395 - 447 or 449) or, the Long-Haired or the Hairy, was a semi-legendary king of the Salian Franks from the Merovingian dynasty (426 - 447). His successor was Meroveus, after whom the dynasty was named. Legend has it that his father was duke Pharamond and his mother was Argotta, from Thuringia. His grandfather may have been Marcomer, a duke of the Franks.
There are basically only two sources of information on Clodio's history: the writings of Gregory of Tours and Sidonius Apollinaris.
Clodio lived in Dispargum, a name that is believed to be that of a castle, rather than a village. Around 431, he invaded the territory of Artois, but was defeated near Hesdin by Aëtius, the commander of the Roman army in Gaul, Western Roman Empire. However, Clodio regrouped and soon was able to seize the town of Cameracum. Eventually, he occupied all the country as far as the Somme River and made Tournai the capital of the Salian Franks.
Clodio's aggressive action to seize more territory led to centuries of expansion by his successors that ultimately created what we know today as the country of France. Clodio died sometime between 447 and 449 and power passed on to Meroveus. It is not known if Meroveus was his son or another chieftain of the tribe who ascended into the leadership role.
