I84344: Elizabeth BALDWIN (ABT 1742

Notes

"In May 1740, William Bryant and wife, now of Edgecombe County, sold to Thomas Uzell "the plantation whereon James Bryant formerly lived" which was "part of a patent granted to Richard Braswell," and also "100 acres bought from John Dew in Jul 1730" (Deed Bk F- 133). Another deed appears to record the same transaction for: "320 acres whereon James Bryant deceased formerly lived. Patent granted to Richard Braswell for 640 acres in Nov 1706, which patent being endorsed to James Bryant I in Mar 1708, and recorded in Chowan County... Being the same 300 acres of land given James Bryant II by his father James Bryant I deceased and also 100 acres I bought of John Dew, dated Jul 1730." The land was adjacent to William Bryant and John Dew (Deed Bk F-136). The patent of 1706 to Richard Braswell is not listed in Hofmann's book on early NC land patents and has apparently been lost."

Notes

1st Earl of Pembroke Named in Magna Charta. : 3rd Earl of Pembroke, Marshall of England, Protector, Regent of the Kingdom, 1216-1219, buried in the Temple Church, London.

"During a truce between King Stephen and William's father at the siege of Newbury Castle in 1152 William was given as hostage. William's father immediately broke the truce by sending in reinforcements. "Stephen's entourage urged him to hang William at once, but the king was unwilling to execute the child without giving his father a chance to surrender Newbury. But John Marshall, having four sons and a fruitful wife, considered the youngest of his sons of far less value than a strong castle. He cheerfully told the king's messenger that he cared little if William were hanged, for he had anvils and hammers with which to forge still better sons. When he received this brutal reply, Stephen ordered his men to lead William to a convenient tree. Fearing that John planned a rescue, the king himself escorted the executioners with a strong force.

William, who was only five or six years old, had no idea what this solemn parade portended. When he saw William, Earl of Arundel twirling a most enticing javelin, he asked him for the weapon. This reminder of William's youth and innocence was too much for King Stephen's resolution, and taking the boy in his arms, he carried him back to camp. A little later some of the royalist had the ingenious idea of throwing William over the walls from a siege engine, but Stephen vetoed that scheme as well. He had decided to spare his young prisoner." from "William Marshal" by S. Painter (Baltimore, 1933)

"On the occasion of the Coronation of Henry III: "By God's sword," said William Marshall, "this advice is true and good; it goes straight to my heart, that if everyone else abandoned the king, do you know what I would do? I would carry him on my shoulders, step by step, from island to island, from country to country, and I would not fail him, not even if it meant begging for my bread." the Barnwell Annalist.

"When the King(Henry III), who loved William devotedly, heard the news of his death and saw his dead body coverd with a cloth, he heaved a deep sigh and said: "Alas, woe is me, is the blood of blessed Thomas the martyr(Becket) not even yet avenged"." Mathew Paris

"William the Younger (Eldest son of William Marshal, 1241 - All sons and direct male descendents of William Marshal whom could carry on the Marshal name are dead."

Site dedicated to Wm Marshall: http://www.icweb.com/marshal
"1219 - on Tuesday, May 14, William Marshal, once Earl of Pembroke, Marshal to four kings, Protector of the Royal Treasury, and finally Regent of England - succumbs to death after a long illness. When word reaches the palace of Philip of France, he openly weeps, declaring that the Marshal was the true flower of chivalry."

"Pembroke Castle, built on an earlier site by William Marshall in 1190. Bounded on three sides by a tidal inlet, the imposing castle, with its 16-ft thick limestone walls, was the birthplace of Harry Tudor, later Henry VII. The circular Great Keep is 75 ft high and 24 ft in diameter, with walls 19 ft thick at the base. There are many nooks and crannies, turrets and rooms to be explored. One staircase leads down to the Wogan, a large natural cavern.

Pembroke's old town walls can be traced in many places. The Church of St Deniol at the ruined Monkton Priory has been restored, to something like its original condition. Its windows are decorated with the symbols of free masonry. St. Mary's and St. Michael's churches are both of 13th century origin. Pembroke contains the unique National Museum of Gypsy Caravans, Romany Crafts and Lore and the Castle Hill Museum.

Southwest Wales: The Ancient Kingdom of Dyfed: The Southwest is a region of soft, gentle farmlands and verdant valleys, hidden coastal villages, rocky, dramatic sea scapes, ancient fishing villages, and great, green empty moorlands. In this part of West Wales, there are sharp divisions between Welsh and English speaking regions, but the landscapes all betoken centuries of peaceful co-existence. This is the home of the coracle; of Wales' first designated area of natural beauty, and of its finest 20th century poet. It also contains Britain's only coastal national park."
