3151 Some records indicate Sarah was born around 1854 in Ohio. The 1900 census gives Sep 1856 in Kentucky, with her father born in Germany and her mother born in Ohio. Clinger, Sarah E. (I12332)

3152 Some records show her as Nellie Mary. Jourdan, Mary Nellie (I15937)

3153 Some records show Lewis's first name as Louis. Aldrich, Lewis Rodman Sr. (I70)

3154 Some sources list Ann as the daughter of Thomas Halsey and his wife Phebe. [Rootsweb WorldConnect Sutton Folk Family Tree] HALSEY, Ann (I4479)

3155 Some time following the death of William Jr's father's first wife, William Jr. left North Carolina presumably for India. He later returned to Scotland and died in South Ronaldsay Island, Orkney Island, Scotland. Cromartie, William Jr. (I195)

3156 Sometimes given as Chilton and typically given with middle name or initial as Rufus or R., but his birth record shows Chilt and has no middle name. McCormick, Chilt Rufus (I16022)

3157 Sometimes William is shown with a surname of Breeam. This is due to how the handwritten surname appears in the death record of his daughter, Martha. Close examination reveals that the "am" portion is actually "den" with the ascender of the d not showing in this image. On that page, all lower case e's are closed like an i without the dot. Breeden, William (I13392)

3158 Somewhere in Mr. Cannon's lineage is surname Carson, unrelated to his wife's maiden name of Carson. Cannon (I5576)

3159 Son died 20 minutes after birth Fletcher, John W. Jr. (I12653)

3160 Son Ira's Florida death record shows his mother's name as Elizabeth G. Wills, born in Stratford, CT. WELLS, Elizabeth C. (I3317)

3161 Son, Charles (Charlie) H. Richmond's Fayette County, WV death certificate shows his parents as Merridia Richmond and Mary Richmond. Family: Merridia Richmond / Mary Richmond (F1355)

3162 Son, Nicholas 1578 born long after 1559. Perhaps this Nicholas 1530's actual death date was misread/transcribed and is actually 1599? SNOW, Nicholas (I911)

3163 Sons Johnathan and Benjamin were by first wife, Lydia Chandler. It is said Richard had 10 children by his second wife, Mary Yates. Richard came to Plymouth in 1633.

Doug Couch notes 2008:

In initial online records viewed, Robert Higgins was given as husband of Julian Meals, daughter of Christopher Meals and Elizabeth. While this relationship may exist at some point, more documented records show that this Julian Meals was married to Edward Higgins (given as Robert's father in the online records), with a quote from Julian's gravestone, verifying her marriage to Edward. Thus, the relationship has been unlinked from Robert and relinked to Edward. HIGGINS, Richard (I5204)

3184 Starting sometime after Marge's divorce in 1976, she lived with Gerry, at least partly in the Hayward/Oakland area. Together, they ran a pawn shop in Oakland. My wife and I visited them there.

Information from a family member was sketchy. No last name was provided for Gerry and unfortunately I cannot remember it. Her being with a Mr. Cook was given (but unclear if this was Gerry or not). A son named Jerry/Gerry was given but exactly who his parents were was not given, indicating he might have been the son of Gerry or a significant other. Information clarifying this would be most welcome.

Briefly, I knew Marge as my older first cousin, Joann, when her family traveled from West Virginia and visited my mother (her aunt) and my family in Mission Valley, San Diego Co, California sometime before 1955. Miller, Margaret Joann (I65)

3185 Stella's birth record shows her as born in 1914. If correct, she was only 16 when married in 1930. Her marriage certificate says she was 22 in 1930. Dotson, Stella Mae (I18611)

I don't have a great deal of information about the Gywns, but an ancestor of mine married Nathan Hunt Gwyn of Caldwell Co, NC. According to the county marriage records, his parents were Enoch Newton Gwyn and Mary Jane jones (dead) of Wilkes Co, NC.

3225 The "LAPICE BROTHERS" Copartnership legal notice of 1856 and his 1857 marriage record to Jennie (Watson) Donelson, show that although usually called Bergondy, he was Peter M. Lapice. The Will of his mother, Marie Louise Demie (Lapice), shows his middle name is Michael. Lapice, Peter Michael Bergondy (I19376)

3226 The "unnamed partner" of Pedro was a "freed slave". The article excerpt (PDF) on the pages of Pedro and his sons, Jose and Carlos Dupard, gives a little insight into the struggles and status in society of these two sons at the time, as children considered illegitimate by their own parent and others of his class.

3229 The 1880 census in Zanesville, Muskingum Co, OH shows Ann as 79 years old. However, her gravestone shows an 1811 birth year; which is undoubtedly correct, making her a couple years older than her husband, Joseph Bevis. Partridge, Ann (I16088)

3230 The 1920 census in Cleveland, OH gives Frank as immigrating in 1866, and naturalized in 1872 while living on Clark Avenue where he also lives in 1920. Sprosty, Frank Jr. (I4563)

The Arisan Maru was a Japanese freighter POW ship, one among many. It was sunk 24 October 1944 by an Allied forces torpedo. The two possible submarines which sank the Arisan Maru were the USS Shark or the USS Snook, with inadequate or conflicting information about which submarine was responsible. These two submarines were part of a wolf pack of allied submarines responsible for the many sinkings of the Japanese convoy MATA-30 heading for Takao. The USS Shark was sunk in Luzon Strait by Japanese destroyers on 24 October 1944. The last contact from the USS Snook was on 8 April 1945 in Luzon Strait.

3236 The Ardvorlich Stones in Dundurn Chapel, listing the chiefs of Clan Stewart at Ardvorlich, gives "Robert STEWART (7th) of Ardvorlich and wife Margaret STEWART of Annat, 1760" Family: Robert Stewart, 5th of Balimeanach, 7th of Ardvorlich / Margaret Stewart, of Drumvaich of the Annat Family (F26899)

3237 The baronial family of Braose came from originally from Briouze, near Argentan, Normandy. William de Briouse was one of the most powerful barons in William the Conqueror's army. He received large possessions, chiefly in Sussex, including the whole Rape of Bramber, where he built Bramber Castle, which was his seat. In 1075 he executed the foundation charter of the Sele Abbey, Sussex, founded the Abbey of Braiose in the time of William I. and made grants to St. Florent Saumer. Gunnora, his mother, in 1082 held lands from Hugh Pincera and Roger de Cuilli. The date of his death is unknown, but he was succeeded by his son, Philip de Briouse, during the reign of William Rufus; he increased the vast estates of his father by marriage with Beta, sister and co-heir of William, Earl of Gloucester. He is mentioned by Oderic Vital in 1096 as supporting William Rufus against his brother Henry, who held the strong castle of Domfront in Normandy, from which he carried on his operations. Philip was the ancestor of the house of Braose, barons of Bramber, Brecknock, Gower, and Totness, and of William de Braose, who obtained from King Henry II. a grant of the "whole kingdom of Limerick" in Ireland for the service of sixty knight's fees. Numerous branches existed also in Sussex, Bedford, Hampshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Wales, and from him descended also the Wingfields, Viscounts Powerscourt. The family must not be confused with that of Brius, Bris, or Brix, of which Robert de Brix was the representative at Hastings. DE BRAOSE, William (I7584)

3238 The birth & christening record for Felicite gives her birth year as 1819 (Vital, Louisiana Births and Christenings, 1811-1830, 1854-1934). Compiled database is drawn from sources which may be unreliable at times (submissions of family trees, etc.). Due to this, I am using the 1814 birth year estimation from her death certificate; which states she was about 22 years old in 1836. Images of both records are included below. Ricard, Felcite (I19303)

3239 The birth place for Emezetta, according to her own information when she married Sanford, was Cabell County, Virginia. The later document, her death certificate, gives Kanawha County, West Virginia. Note that death certificates are according to the much later recollection of family or friends. Also, West Virginia did not exist as a state until 1863, 12 years after her birth. Wheeler, Emezetta (I16984)

3240 The birth year of Claude Grenot is verified in the 1733 Inventory After Death Grenot, Sgt. Claude (I19471)

3241 The BMD Index shows them in 1788, possibly when the marriage was officially recorded. Family: Charles Bernard Grenot / Anne Petronille Deronville (F2537)

3242 The Chester Everts Howell book gives Flora's father as married to Janet. MacNab, Robert 1st of Dundurn, Perthshire, Scotland (I8962)

3243 the children listed with Henry and Anne cannot all be children to that union. Giles is born when his mother would be 14...possible, but the last four children were all born after Henry's death.

a Frances Sanford 1567 is also said to be Henry's wife. There were apparently several Frances Sanfords in that time and place, and I have no documentation of any of these relationships, which would have Giles born when she was 37, much more likely

at least two marriages makes more sense PYNCHON, Anne (I5465)

3244 The city of Philadelphia is coterminous with Philadelphia County, the municipalities having been consolidated in 1854, and all remaining county government functions having been merged into the city after a 1951 referendum. Family: Jacob Stover, Sr. / Sarah Boone (F846)

3245 The compiled records list gives the mother for Sadie Turley as Minnie Turley; however the death certificate of her husband Charles Turley gives her as Mamie, as does her marriage record in 1895. Childress, Mamie Belle (I19080)

3246 The dark still voice of death hovered over the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Litherland and called from our midst a devoted christian and a loving neighbor, a kind friend and a highly respected citizen.

Uncle Joe as he was commonly called was admired and loved by both old and young and he was the means of influencing many to be christians.

Uncle Joe was a devoted christian having been truly in the service of the Master full fifty years. He united with the U.B. church at Nye chapel when quite young and will be greatly missed in the church where he attended regularly and worked faithfully. He has passed through many trials and tribulations but has conquered and won victory.

Joseph Litherland, son of Wm. and Susan Litherland was born in Perry county, Indiana, November 12, 1845, and departed this life June 19, 1921, aged 75 years 7 months and 7 days.

6-23-1921 LITHERLAND, Joseph (I4046)

3247 The date of his birth as 28 Jun 1797 is from an 1855 Passport Application, signed by him (view document). Lapice, Pierre Michel Ambroise (I19371)

3248 The death certificate of his son, Alexander gives his middle name as Harry and his birthplace as Pocahontas County, VA (now in WV...and about100 miles north of Botetourt County, VA). Sadler, Henry Charles (I18750)

3249 The descendants of Joel Bostwick Couch through James Ladow Couch was received from Darren Couch at COUCH@CKT.NET of Girard, KS, in 2005. COUCH, Joel Bostwick (I2781)

3250 The earliest known ancestor of the Kuntze, Coons, Coonces that settled in Virginia is Hechin Cuntze (abt.1500)*. He lived in Niederndorf of the Nassau-Siegen region of Germany in the early to mid 1500s. Kuntze, Henchin (I8794)

3251 The earliest notice of this family occurs in the time of Henry I., when Gilbert Mareschall, and John, his son, were impleaded by Robert de Venoiz, and William de Hastings, for the office of Mareschel to the king, but without success. The son (bearing the same surname, derived from his office), John Mareschall, attaching himself to the fortunes of Maud, against King Stephen, was with Robert, the consul, Earl of Gloucester., at the siege of the Winchester Castle, when the party of the empress sustained so signal a defeat. Upon the accession of Henry II., however, his fidelity was amply rewarded by considerable grants in co. Wilts; and in the 10th year of that reign, being then marshal, he laid claim, for the crown, to one of the manors of the see of Canterbury, from the celebrated prelate, Thomas a Becket, who about that period had commenced his contest with the king. This John was succeeded by his son and heir, John Mareschall, to whom King Henry II. confirmed the office of marshal, and the lands which he held of the crown of England, and elsewhere. At the coronation of Richard I., the John Mareschall bore the great gilt spurs, and the same year obtained a grant from the crown of the manor of Boseham, in Sussex, in fee farm, paying 42 pounds yearly, to the exchequer; with other extensive lordships. He died soon after, and it appears without issue, for his brother, William Mareschall, Earl of Pembroke, succeeded as his heir. We now come to the nephew of the said William, Earl of Pembroke, Sir John Marshal, who married Aliva, elder daughter and co-heir of Hubert de Rie, feudal lord of Hingham, co. Norfolk, by whom he acquired that lordship. Espousing the cause of King John against the barons, Sir John Marshal acquired from the crown, all the forfeited lands of the Earl of Evreux, in England, as also the lands of Hugh de Gornay, lying in the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, whereof the said Hugh was possessed when he deserted the royal banner; and he likewise obtained a grant in fee, of the office of Marshal of Ireland. He was subsequently, in the same reign, constituted guardian of the marches of Wales, and sheriff of Lincolnshire, and afterwards joined with John Fitz-Robert, in the sheriffalty of the cos. of Norfolk and Suffolk, and the custody of the castles of Norwich and Orford. He was likewise made governor of Dorchester Castle; moreover, he had the same year, livery of the office of marshal of Ireland, and whatsoever did appertain thereto; so that he should appoint a knight to execute its duties effectually. Continuing steadfast in his allegiance to King John, he was made sheriff of Worcestershire, and governor of the castle of Worcester; and he was one of those who marched with the king into the north, to waste the lands of the insurrectionary barons there. Upon the accession of Henry III., Sir John Marshal was constituted sheriff of Hampshire, and governor of the castle of Devizes, in Wilts, and retained, during the remainder of his life, the favor of that monarch. He died in 1234, and was succeeded by his son, John.

John Marshal, who dying in 1242, was succeeded by his son and heir, William. William Marshal, who, adopting a different line of politics, joined the baronial standard, in the 49th year of the reign of King Henry III., and died about the same period (1264), leaving two sons, John and William, then underage, who, the next year, through the intercession of William de Saye, obtained the king's pardon for their father's transgression, and had permission to enjoy his lands, with whatever possessions they had, by gift of Aliva, their grandmother.

The elder of these sons, John Marshal, died in the 12th year of Edward I., and was succeeded by his son, William Marshal, who in the 34th year of Edward I., was in the wars of Scotland, and was summoned to parliament as a Baron, from January 9, 1309, to November 26, 1313. He died in the next year, and was succeeded by his son, John.

John Marshall, 2nd baron, in the 7th year of Edward II., this John attended the Queen into Scotland, and the ensuing year doing his homage, had livery of his lands, lying in the cos. of Norfolk and Lincoln. He died soon after, about the year 1316, leaving his sister, Hawyse, wife of Robert, Lord Morley, his heir, who carried the Barony of Marshal into the Morley family, from which it passed into that of Lovel, and thence to the Parkers, when it fell into abeyance, at the decease of Thomas Parker, Lord Morley, in 1686, between the issue of that nobleman's aunts, Katherine, wife of John Savage, 2nd Earl Rivers, and Elizabeth, wife of Edward Cranfield, Esq., and amongst whose descendants it so continues. MARSHAL, Gilbert (Mareschall) (I7295)

3252 The fifth son was Adam Fitz-Alan, mentioned in a charter, given by David I in 1139. Fitz-Alan, Adam (I9605)

3253 The first of these sons was William Fitz-Alan, 1105-1160 (Fitz, meaning "son of", for there were no surnames used at this time). He was ancestor of the Earls of Arundel (England), which title, in 1546, passed through an heiress, to the Duke of Norfolk. Fitz-Alan, William (I9602)

3254 The following note is an attempt to clarify the apparent relationships between 4 persons named Isabelle (also Isabel or Isabella). This note is offered as part of the record for Isabelle #2 below:

Will of Isabelle Johns (Isa. #1) 1793, gives a daughter, Isabelle Cowan (Isa. #2). As Isabelle Johns (Isa. #1) is the grandmother of Isaac Cowan Lamb's daughters (Isabel (Isa. #3) & Eleanor Lamb, given in her will), this Isabelle Cowan (Isa. #2) is most likely her daughter by a former marriage (Cowan). Isabelle Cowan's (Isa. #2) will 1836 also shows an Isabelle Cowan, Jr. (Isa. #4).

In the 1836 will (Isa. #2), listed are: Isabelle Cowan, Jr., Robert C. Ormsby; Thomas Cowan's children; John B. Cowan; Samuel C. Cowan; Thomas Cowan; Harris Cowan; Maria Rivenbark; Hugh Cowan. (Exr. Friend, John Moore, Sr.) (relationships not given in the will)

Gen 1 Thomas Lamb --- Isabelle Johns --- Mr. _____ Cowan
Gen 2 Isaac Cowan Lamb Isabelle Cowan
Gen 3 Isabel (or Isabella) Lamb Isabelle Cowan
Gen 3 Eleanor Lamb Cowan, Isabelle (I250)

3255 The funeral was delayed till John could come from Connecticut. It was to be so ordered - as said the summons, dated "your father's parlor," despatched by fleet-footed Indian messenger, the ever troublesome Bellingham its first signer-" that it may appeare of what precious account & desert he hath ben, & how blessed his memoriall." It took place April 3, being conducted " with great solemnity and honour," both civic and military. The place of interment was what is now called the King's Chapel Burying-ground, - the spot to be seen at this day. Winthrop, Gov. John Sr. (I2677)

The George W. Bennett born 19 Sep 1828 in OH & died 29 Jun 1891 in KS, which some represent as father of Temperence Almira Bennett, does not seem likely for several reasons:

1. George has no relatives mentioned as living in Kansas, where he might have gone to live with or near. And Kansas is a very long distance from Ohio.

2. There is no war being fought in which he would suddenly go to Kansas.

3. All census records (1860, 1870, 1880 & 1900) show him in Ohio, and indicate an age that would make his birth year approximately 1830, not 1828.
  • 1860: George is 30, Susan is 31
  • 1870: George is 40, Susan is 41
  • 1880: George is 50, Susan is 51
  • 1900: George is 70, Susan is 71
The unusually consistent ages along with consistency of children indicates these are all the same set of parents.

4. The George W. Bennett shown in censuses as the father of Temperence A. or Almira show him with Susan/Susanna as his wife, not Anna M. (as given on the gravestone of the George W. Bennett with 1828 & 1891 dates), indicating with the other data that the 1828-1891 George is not the same George as given in the census data with a birth year of 1830.

5. In 1880, George is shown in Jackson County, Ohio with wife Susan and 7 of their children (all reasons he would be likely to remain in that area unless the family moved together)...including son, Alonzo, born 1877.

6. In 1900, George is still living and again shown in Jackson County, Ohio at age 70 with wife Susan at age 71. They are shown with Alonzo, who is given as their grandson, and yet his birth year is 1877. Although age-wise, it would be possible for George's oldest child to have a son Alonzo aged 23 years, the census records for Thomas Bennett do not show such a son. Most likely, Alonzo is George's son. Lelia M. Jinks born 1884, also shown, may indeed be a granddaughter as indicated, but I've found no other record of her.

7. All George Bennetts (middle initial W or none) actually born IN Ohio from 1828-1832, in the 1850 census, whether living in Ohio at the time of the census or not:
  • born 1828: Living in Brush Creek, Muskingum Co, OH with Joshua & Amelia Bennett
  • born 1829: Living in Brunswick, Medina Co, OH with Esther & William Bennett
  • born 1829: Living in Somers, Preble Co, OH with Margaret Bennett family
  • born 1830: Living in Illinois with Baker family
  • born 1831: Living in Indiana with John & Susan Bennett
  • born 1831: Living in Brush Creek Highland Co, OH with Joshua & Sarah Bennett
Map showing relative distances between these states: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois & Kansas

Note: The red balloon indicates Lyon Co, KS, where a George W. Bennett is buried, but doesn't show in the 1850 census.

8. The Kansas censuses (1885 & 1905) cited to indicate George was married to Elizabeth & "E.P.". The gravestone of the George W. Bennett shown gives his birth and death years as 1828-1891 and a spouse of Anna M. In the 1885 census, he is 55 and Elizabeth is 45 and has different children born as early as 1859. In the 1905 census (14 years after the gravestone says he was dead), he is 70 and E.P. is 60, still a 10 year difference, and yet 20 years after the 1885 census should show them as 5 years older than this.

There is no basis for concluding that George W. Bennett, father of Temperence Almira Bennett (wife of George W. Brooks) is the same George as cited in the Kansas censuses or on the gravestone shown.

Bennett, George W. (I14554)

3258 The Hewiit/Hewett surname was also spelled Huit in some records. Hewitt, Lydia (I15576)

3259 The Litherland name took on many spellings in the Kentucky, Indiana,
Illinois area: Leatherland, Letherland, Litherland, Leitherland,
Latherland. Generally, the individuals were not literate neither reading
or writing. The resulting spelling in tax records or census reflected how
the the recorder heard
the name being pronounced. By the late 1800`S the spelling of
"Litherland"seems to have become the
accepted form for this particular family.

George, of Middlesex, was convicted of stealing a silk handkerchief,
valued at 4 pence. He was sentenced in January 1741 to be transported
from Newgate Prison to the colonies (Maryland). During that period in

3264 The marriage between Jasper Skaggs & Lida Campbell is Jasper's 4th marriage (per this marriage's record). This is Lida's 3rd marriage. The marriage record gives her father's surname as Tomblin. Family: Jasper Scaggs / Lida Tomblin (F1614)

3265 The marriage certificate of George Washington Ford & Laura M. Sims gives his parents as Adison & Virginia Ford. Addison Ford was married in 1866 to Mary Virginia Keenan, at that time she was age 17. In 1868, Virginia, wife of Addison, passed away. As George's gravestone shows he was born in 1872, Mary Virginia could not be the Virginia shown as his mother. Ford, George Washington (I16796)

3266 The marriage date and place given here are from the 1754 (Canadian) Migrant Record of Claude Grenot. Family: Sgt. Claude Grenot / Marie Clothilde Delage (F2533)

3267 The marriage of William McCauley and the widow, Katherine Johnston Long, occurred the same year William and family arrived from Ireland in the 1770s. — William V. Burlingame, 2017 historical summary, The McCauley Cemetery with subsection The McCauleys in North Carolina. (This marriage remains undocumented. No statement is made about whether she was of North Carolina, or perhaps also emigrated from Ireland before becoming his wife.) Family: Col. William McCauley / Katherine Johnston (F7899)

3268 The marriage record of Samuel Tilden Russell & Clara Erskine says he was a widower when they married in 1916. His first wife, Sarah Blankenship survived him, passing in 1941. So it is unclear if Samuel had a second wife briefly before Clara; who died during the time his first wife was remarried once or twice. Family: Samuel Tilden Russell / Clara Erskine (F1583)

3269 The name of Robert W. McClellan's wife is unclear on the grave monument image. Mary Barr was one interpretation given, but needs to be ascertained by direct viewing of the actual gravestone. Barr, Mary (I5542)

3270 The name Warrene originates from the river Varenne near Dieppe. William came from France with the invasion of 1066 and was created the Earl of Surry with castles at Lewes, Castle Acre and Reigate. He was granted the Wakefiled estates by his father-in-law. William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey (died 1138), was the son of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey and his first wife Gundred. He is more often referred to as Earl Warenne or Earl of Warenne than as Earl of Surrey.

William de Warren II, 2nd Earl of Warren and 2nd Earl of Surrey, joined Robert de Belesme, Earl of Arundel and Shrewsbury, in favor of Robert Curthose, against King Henry I., and in consequence forfeited his English earldom and estates; but those were subsequently restored to him, and he was ever afterwards a good and faithful subject to King Henry. He married Isabel Vermandois, Countess of Leicester, daughter of Hugh the Great, Earl of Vermandois, and Alice, his wife, daughter of Hubert, 4th Count de Vermandois, son of Henry, 3rd Count de Vermandois, by his wife, Edgina, daughter of Edward the Elder, King of England, son of Alfred the Great, King of England. Isabel was also the widow of Robert, Earl of Mellent, and granddaughter of King Henry I of France.

In January 1091, William assisted Hugh of Grantmesnil (d.1094) in his defense of Courcy against the forces of Robert de Belleme and Duke Robert. Sometime around 1093 he tried to marry Matilda (or Edith), daughter of king Malcolm III of Scotland. She instead married Henry I of England, and this may be the cause of William's great dislike of Henry I, which was to be his apparent motivator in the following years. He accompanied Robert Curthose (Duke Robert) in his 1101 invasion of England, and afterwards lost his English lands and titles and was exiled to Normandy. There he complained to Curthose that he expended great effort on the duke's behalf and had in return lost most of his possessions. Curthose's return to England in 1103 was apparently made to convince his brother to restore William's earldom. This was successful, though Curthose had to give up all he had received after the 1101 invasion, and subsequently William was loyal to Henry. To further insure William's loyalty Henry considered marrying him to one of his many illegitimate daughters. He was however dissuaded by Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury, for any of the daughters would have been within the prohibited degrees of consanguinity. The precise nature of the consanguinous relationship Anselm had in mind has been much debated, but it is most likely he was referring to common descent from the father of duchess Gunnor.
William was one of the commanders on Henry's side (against Robert Curthose) at the Battle of Tinchebray in 1106. Afterwards, with his loyalty thus proven, he became more prominent in Henry's court. In 1110, Curthose's son William Clito escaped along with Helias of Saint-Saens, and afterwards Warenne received the forfeited Saint-Saens lands, which were very near his own in upper Normandy. By this maneuver king Henry further assured his loyalty, for the successful return of Clito would mean at the very least Warenne's loss of this new territory.
He fought at the Battle of Bremule in 1119, and was at Henry's deathbed in 1135. William's death is recorded as 11-May-1138 in the register of Lewes priory and he was buried with his father at the chapter-house there. 2ND EARL OF WARREN, William (I6811)

3272 The online records where Mary is listed as child of Edmund Chandler and Jane Gitton, also give her as married to Hezekiah Bradford. Hezekiah Bradford did marry a Mary Chandler; however, they were married in 1714, and had a child together...at which marriage year, this Mary would be 98 years old.

Kaylor and Hix [Hicks]
Pages 639-641
Footnotes added by Carol Benjamin (1993)

Susan and Love Kaylor were twin daughters of Michael Kaylor, and were born August 20, 1781. Love Kaylor4 married John Hix, and was the grandmother of Robert Hix, the present overseer of the poor of Green Sulphur District.

John Hix, the original Hix ancestor of the honorable family of that name, was a native of Monroe County, Virginia, now West Virginia, and settled at Green Sulphur Springs. He was killed by a bull in 1807, near the residence of the Hon. M. Gwinn. John Hix, Jr. son the John Hix above referred to, was born August 31, 1778, in Cumberland County, Virginia, and died on the farm on which Robert Hix now resides, near New Richmond. William and Andrew Hix were twin sons of John Hix, Jr. born July 27, 1823, Andrew died in 1900. He was a brave Confederate soldier under McCausland. William is still living, and is the father of Robert Hix. William Hix is one, if not the oldest, of the citizens now living in Green Sulphur District.

He has a wonderful recollection of things which are apparently ancient to the younger generation. He remembers distinctly seeing Indians, in his boyhood days from his father's farm, on their way to Washington City. He was then about fourteen years old and it was about the year 1837. The three brothers, John, William and Andrew, each lived to be very old men. They were Democrats in politics before the war, and continued their affiliations with that party during their entire lives. William resides with his only son, Robert, who is one of the leading citizens of Green Sulphur District, one of the leaders of the Democratic party, member of the Executive Committee, and a very loyal citizen, but not an office-seeker, never having been a candidate for any office, although he permitted the use of his name as deputy for Mr. O. T. Kesler, in his last race for the shrievalty.

In religious affairs, Mr. Hix and all of the family are identified with the Missionary Baptist Church6. Robert married a Miss Lusher, daughter of Thomas D. Lusher. John Hix, Jr., left the following family: Elizabeth, born October 13, 1804; Catherine, born November 27, 1806; Michael8, born January 4, 1809; John, born December 5, 1811; Adeline, born July 18, 1816, who married John Duncan who lives at Green Sulphur Springs. William and Andrew were twins, born July 27, 1823. William Hix married Jane Kincaid, September 17, 1845, and the following children were born to them; Martha, born July 7, 1850, now deceased; Robert, born January 1, 1852; Susan, who married Mr. Edwards, born October 3, 1853; John L., born November 20, 1856, now deceased; Virginia, who married Robert Gwinn, born March 3, 1861; Minerva Ella married Charles Withrow, and was born August 3, 1853. The wife of William Hix died9 December 29, 1828. Michael Hix, living on the Hump Mountain, a son of Michael, who died during the war10, is also of this family. He was a brave Confederate soldier and a good citizen, as was also Andrew Hix, his uncle, who was severely wounded during the war11.

One of his daughters married George W. Ayres12. John Hix lived on the Swell Mountain at a very high point, where, at one time, the lightning struck his barn, killing one son and severely wounding another, Marion, who now lives near Hinton. John Hix was a president of the Board of Education of Green Sulphur District, as was also his son, James M. Hix, who now lives on Lick Creek-another of the soldiers of the Confederacy.

No one by the name of Hix was ever known to vote any ticket except the Democratic. Michael Hix, Sr., married Jeriah Duncan13, who lived to be a very old lady, near Lick Creek, adjoining the S. F. Taylor place.

West Virginia was Good

Pages 6-9

One of the old men in the community we boys heartily despised. He had hired a substitute to go the war for him. The man he hired to take his place in the Civil War draft was Andy Hicks, who lived just above us on Hicks' Branch, a tributary to Laurel Creek. Mr. Hicks was a little above the draft age in 1861, so that he might have stayed out of military service. But for a horse and saddle and $100 cash, he rode off on the horse and joined a Confederate cavalry unit. He got home three years later, unharmed. I served in the same outfit in World War I with a grandson of this old man Hicks, named Benny Bryant.

As a neighbor boy I attended the funeral of Mr. Hicks. But the funeral was not conducted at the time of burial. The old man was buried on a bad winter day. As was done not infrequently in those days, his funeral was delayed until about the next August. Then to me at least, it seemed quiet a gala occasion when the funeral was "preached" out in the big orchard of the Hicks farm when apples were just getting at their best. Quite a crowd attended from nearby farms. They sat on chairs, boxes, logs and rocks. The preacher, Rev. Rhodes, was a venerable man who had the habit of sucking at his little mustache about every tenth word. He wore a long swallow-tailed coat that was faded to a dim brown that might have been black twenty years earlier. He shed tears as he talked, although I saw nobody else crying.

In our community it was an accepted practice for a group of neighbors and friends to sit up all night with a dead body prior to burial. There was no such thing as an undertaker or mortuary. Neighbors came in after a death, and "laid out" the body--prepared it for the coffin. Nearly every family, as did ours, has keepsake coins that had been laid over the eyelids of a departed member to hold them shut until rigor mortis made weights no longer necessary. More often than not the coffin was made by someone in the community, of whatever boards might be at hand.

People gathered for the wake at nightfall. Many brought food. The wake proper began with the reading of a passage from the Bible, than a prayer might run out to some length. After that, the singing of hymns was begun by someone as king to hear a certain song. Hymn after hymn was sung, with short pauses between. Perhaps every two hours or so a man would read from the Bible and pray again.

This went on all night. People would pause to eat, drink coffee and visit in subdued voices. Nearly everybody would get hoarse. Some licked salt to overcome hoarseness. A few would go home after midnight. Replacements arrived, but in limited numbers. By morning perhaps only half a dozen of the most faithful would be there to sing the last song and read the last verse of Scripture.

Even as late as 1920, I was present all night at the wake of a coal miner who had been electrocuted accidentally in the mine. I was there more or less as the informal representative of the coal company in whose store I worked and in whose mine this man had been killed. I found myself forced to take charge, with few helpers. No more than a dozen persons showed up, and this number diminished to three or four by daylight. Not all of those present could sing. It was a squalid little company house, three rooms and an outside toilet. Each end of the cheap gray coffin rested on a chair with the back of the chair turned away. Nobody brought even a pie for the midnight snack. I think I was the only one present who knew even the rudiments of procedure on such an occasion. That night remains a stark memory with me.

In contrast, the funeral of the aged Andy Hicks in mid-summer of 1899, after he had been buried six or eight months, lingers with me as a rather pleasant something to have experienced. A good crowd, lots of kids there, an orchard with ripe apples and in me, six years old, no sense of loss of an old man who when young had gone to war in the place of a shirker, at a price of $100. a horse and saddle.

Our interest often centered on the Hicks' farm. Ann Hicks, daughter of the veteran Andy Hicks, had married Ben Bryant, an individual of greater intelligence and sophistication than the common run of men thereabouts,. He was a conductor on the C&O Railroad. He came home only occasionally for a brief stay with his wife and five children. About the year 1900 he brought in carpenters, stonemasons and painters for the building of what in that community amounted to a magnificent framed house with two stone chimneys.

The stonemasons were four Negro men from Alderson. On Laurel Creek black people seldom ever were seen, but at Lewisburg and Alderson, neither more that thirty miles away, about a third of the people were black, having no place to live on the Hicks farm, the four Negro masons rented our smoke house for the summer, with some arrangements for their building a chimney for my father after they had finished at the Bryant home. Dad was building a new house*, not much smaller that the new Bryant house, but he was doing most of the carpenter work himself, even to making the roof shingles . He had to build by stages, as he could afford nails and boards. And when he could take time from cropping and clearing land.

*This house accidentally burned after we'd been gone from it twenty years.

3277 The second son was Walter Fitz-Alan (d. 1177). He went to Scotland in the service [as a Knight] of King David I, and had large possessions conferred on him in Renfrewshire. Under the reign of Eadgar, King of Scotland (1097-1107), the Croun authority only extended south of the Forth of Clyde. The western islands and extreme north were possessed by the Norwegions. Eadgar was son of King Malcolm Canmore (reigned 1058-1093), and St. Margaret, sister of Eadgar Aetheling, who was sole representative of the Saxon Ruler of England after the death of King Harold and his brothers, at the battle of Hastings in 1066.

Scotland and England, then at peace, and during this and the later reigns of Alexander I (1107-1124) and David I (1124-1153) many Norman Nobles entered the Scottish service in the wars against the Norwegians being rewarded by large grants of the captured lands.

David I had been educated in England under the Norman teachers, and brought Normans and Norman customs with him to Scotland, amongst whom was Walter Fitz-Alan. He was created Dapifer (Steward or Seneschal) of the Royal Household, which title became hereditary in the family. He founded the Monastery of Paisley in 1160, and he and De Morville were witness to a charter of David I, to the Abbey o Melrose. Fitz-Alan, Sir Walter 1st High Steward of Scotland (I9567)

3288 There is a John Starkey, b. 1788 CT, residence in NY 1850 census. No Sarah Mary in household, but by then she would have been married with children and grandchildren. He is the right age to be possible father. STARKEY, John (I2953)

3289 There is also a leaning toward Joshua Pitman being the father of Jonathan, but again no documents have been discovered to prove such a relationship. Family: Isaac Pitman / (F172)

Hankinson, parents David L. & Emily and the 1885 state census in Powesheik, Jasper County, Iowa where she is shown with parents and sister, Hattie. Hankinson, Alice R. (I16257)

Their Aegender notes: Aug 1999

Circumstantial evidence points to John Agner, Jr. and his wife Barbara being the parents of our Archibald Egnor!

Original findings concerning John Jr. are being re-examined. We now believe that the Johns in Rockbridge were confused and that John Jr. did go to Monroe County about 1823. Based on this and other circumstantial evidence, we are assuming that John Jr. is the father of Archibald and Elizabeth Egnor.

==========
Doug Couch notes 2008: Also given as "? Egnor" in One Family Tree family records. Gould family records show father of Archibald as Egnor with wife Mary. Apparently, there are serious errors with this lineage. Where shown as John Agner, wife Barbara, daughter Mary is born when he is 11, and dies when he is 98, an unlikely but not impossible relationship. The above comment from the Aegender family records-notes, about the "Johns in Rockbridge" being confused, is unclear. To keep children groups, and people given as spouses organized, Barbara is shown with her children, and Mary (Polly?) is shown with hers. The claim that John Agner (Jr.) and Barbara are the parents of Archibald does not agree with the family linkage given in the same database where the comment was entered. Therefore, it is here "assumed" that there were two spouses, and that Mary and/or Polly is the mother of Archibald...until better documentation can be found. Agner, John Jr. (I5087)

3297 This undocumented marriage of William to an unknown spouse occurred prior to his emigrating to the Americas in the 1770s. She is reportedly the mother of his two children born in Ireland, James and Jane, who emigrated with him. William remarried just after his arrival in North Carolina. — William V.

3298 This ancestral lineage of Robert the Bruce 1274-1329 is incorrect. His father was Robert de Brus, 6th Lord of Annandale, preseded by Robert 5th, Robert 4th, etc. Lineage people need to be reviewed, detached or deleted, and correct lineage linked. Family: Robert Dictus Boyt / (F26998)
