LAST WILL OF LEWIS PARKER
STATE OF GEORGIA, HART COUNTY
In the name of God, Amen.
I. Lewis Parker of said state and county, of advanced age and knowing that I must shortly depart this life, deem it right and proper both as respects my family and myself that I should make a disposition of the property with which a kind Providence has blessed me, do therefore make this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all others heretofore made by me.
1st Item. I desire and direct that my body be buried in a decent and Christian-like manner, suitable to my circumstances and conditions of life. My soul, I trust, shall return to rest with God who gave it.
2nd Item. I desire and direct that all my just debts be paid by my executors hereinafter appointed.
3rd Item. It is my will and desire that my three single daughters, Barbara Rebecca Jane, Frances Clemantine, and Elvira Manerva, have the use of the homestead and plantation, or such portions of it as they may need together with the family tools and stock of every kind after selling off enough to pay the debts, with the growing crop and provisions on hand so long as they or either of them remain single, or until they voluntarily forsake it as a home.
It is my will and desire that my three unmarried daughters have each a cow, a bed, and furniture all to be worth fifty dollars whenever they may need them to make them equal with those married.
It is my will and desire that my youngest son, Seaborn Parks, have the sorrel colt not yet a year old which I consider, when he comes to maturity, will be equal in value to the horse and saddle of my other sons.
When my plantation is no longer required as above mentioned it is my will and desire that it be sold together with the farming tools and stock and whatever else pertains to it, and distribute as follows:
4th Item. I give and bequeath to my daughters, Arminda E. A. Allison, to my daughter Nancy C. Pearman; to the orphan child of my deceased daughter Mary C.

"Oulde" John Mott 1570-1656 Immigrant
Most of what is known of Oulde John Mott come from articles published in the "American Genealogist" back in 1942-43.
John Mott was born in about 1570 in Saffron Waldon, Essex, England, possibly the son of John Mott and Frances Gutter. Saffron Waldon appears to have been a town larger that a mere village. There was an old castle there at the time and at leat one house from medieval times still stands. There would have been more opportunities to make a living from just farming, although we don't know what he did for a living. He was apparently married several times, to Elizabeth. Catherine and possibly Mary.
John was already an old man when he came to the New World, his son Adam having arrived first with his family. John was made a Freeman at Aquidneck in 1638, the year of it's founding, so at the time he must have been relatively healthy. Aquidneck is the large island of the state of Rhode Island and some very interesting people lived there, such as Anne and William Hutchinson and John Dyer. It would have been a collection of free-thinkers, Quakers and others who were not welcome or comfortable in Massachusetts. John Mott had land in 1639, but by 1644, the town of Portsmouth was providing for his care. he was apparently desperately ill in 1652 when the town ordered that a stone house be built "for the more comfortable being" of oulde John Mott in the winter. The house was not enough, so on the 23 January 1654/55 the town shipped him off to Barbados Island with admonition to the ship owner to bring him back if he "cannot be received there". He was brought back and son Adam was to provide him with a cow and a supply of corn in addition to what the town supplied.

"Robert Brooke immigrated on June 30, 1649 to Charles Co., MD. He resided in 1650 at 'Brooke Place Manor', Charles Co., MD. He and Mary Mainwaring were members of Council on July 22, 1650 at Maryland. He was Acting Governor in 1652 in Maryland. He was President of Council in 1652 at Maryland." (Another excerpt from the source below)
Early life
Robert Brooke was born in Whitemarsh, Southampton on June 23, 1602, son of Hon. Thomas Brooke (1561? 1612) of Whitchurch and Susan Foster, daughter of Sir Thomas Foster (1548? 1612) of "Etherstone".[2] He matriculated at Wadham College, Oxford University on April 28, 1618. He received the degree of B.A. July 6, 1620; consequently, in 1624, without further study or examination, he also received a Master of Arts degree. He was admitted to Orders,[3] but it is doubtful whether he was ever the incumbent of a parish.
The Brooke family arms were recorded in the Visitation of Hampshire, 1634.[3]
First family
Brooke married first, on February 25, 1627, Mary Baker (1602? 34), daughter of Thomas Baker of Battle in Sussex, England.[3] Robert and Mary (Baker) Brooke had four children:
Baker, married Anne Calvert, daughter of Gov. Leonard Calvert, first Governor of Maryland
Mary
Thomas, married Eleanor Hatton, daughter of Richard Hatton and wife Margaret
Barbara
Second family
Brooke married second, on May 11, 1635, Mary Mainwaring, daughter of Roger Mainwaring (1582? 1653), Dean of Worcester and Bishop of St David's, and his wife Cecilia Proper. Robert and Mary (Mainwaring) Brooke had thirteen children:[4]
Charles, never married.
Roger, married:
Dorothy Neale, daughter of Capt. James Neale and Anna Maria Gill
Mary Wolseley, daughter of Walter Wolseley and Mary Beauchamp.
Robert, married Elizabeth Thompson, daughter of William Thompson and Mary Bretton.
John, married Rebecca Isaacs.
Mary.
William.
Ann, married Christopher Beanes.
Francis, never married.
Basil, died in infancy.
Henry, never married.
Elizabeth, married Capt. Richard Smith Jr.
Emigrants to Maryland[edit]
Leonard Calvert
(Florence MacKubin, 1914)
On September 20, 1649, Brooke was issued with a commission as Commander of "one whole county" (in the province of Maryland) "to be newly set forth, erected, &c".[5] He was to receive a grant of 2,000 acres (8.1 km2) for every ten persons he transported. Brooke is said to have emigrated (June 1650) aboard his own ships and at his own expense, along with his wife, ten children, 28 servants, and a pack of hounds. On July 22, 1650, along with his two sons, Baker and Thomas Sr., he took the oath of Fidelity to the Proprietor. His sons each received separate grants of land in various counties of Maryland. Robert Brooke was constituted as Commander of newly formed Charles County in Maryland on October 30, 1650.[4]
Political activities[edit]
In 1652, under the Cromwellian Government, Brooke was made Governor,[1] and served in this capacity from March 29 to July 3, 1652. His co-operation with the Bennett-Claiborne Puritan faction brought him the displeasure of Lord Baltimore and the loss of his proprietary offices. Later he allied himself with the conservative Catholic Party.
Property
Like most of the wealthy emigrants who came to Maryland under the patronage of the Proprietor, Brooke amassed many thousands of acres of land. He constructed three large estates, each named for himself:
"De La Brooke Manor" (2,000 acres (8.1 km2), granted July 28, 1650) in St. Mary's County, Maryland; now the home of a hunting club.[6]
"Brooke Place Manor" (2,100 acres (8.5 km2)) on Battle Creek, Calvert County, across the Patuxent, where he built a home almost a replica of "De La Brooke".[7]
"Brooke Court" (2,000 acres (8.1 km2)) in what is now Prince George's County.
By the time of his death on July 20, 1655,[8] Brooke is said to have accumulated 8,000 acres (32 km2) of land.

His wardship was granted to Hubert de Burgh. He married (1st) at St. Edmund's Bury before Michaelmas 1236 MARGARET DE BURGH, daughter of Hubert de Burgh, Knt., Earl of Kent, by his 3rd wife, Margaret, daughter of William the Lion, King of Scotland [see BARDOLF 8 and SCOTLAND 4.iii for her ancestry]. They had no issue. When the marriage was discovered, the couple was at once parted, he being interned in his own castle at Bletchingley, Surrey. Margaret died in November 1237. He married (2nd) about 25 Jan. 1237/8 MAUD DE LACY, daughter of John de Lacy, Knt. Earl of Lincoln, Magna Carta Baron, by Margaret (or Margery), daughter and heiress of Robert de Quincy [see LACY 3 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Naseby, Northamptonshire.

In 1243-51 he reached agreement with Walter de Cantelowe, Bishop of Worcester, regarding the charging of tolls for the bishop's men coming to the market at Fairford and the presence of the earl's pigs in the bishop's glade in the forest of Malvern. He engaged in an expedition against the Welsh in 1244-5, and was knighted by the king in London 4 June 1245. He was co-heir in 1245 to his uncle, Anselm Marshal, 9th Earl of Pembroke, by which he inherited a fifth part of the Marshal estates, including Kilkenny and other lordships in Ireland. Sometime after June 1247 he confirmed the grants of Hamo de Blean, John son of Terric, and William Box to the Priory of St. Gregory, Clerkenwell. He went on pilgrimages to St. Edmund at Pontigny in Champagne in 1248 and to Santiago in 1250. In 1248 Isabel, wife of William de Forz, Count of Aumale, sued Earl Richard and his wife, Maud, on a plea of warranty of charter. In 1250 he settled a dispute with the Abbot of Tewkesbury about the right of infangthef or punishment of thieves taken on the Abbey's lands, allowing the jurisdiction and gallows-right of the abbey. The same year, he was appointed joint Ambassador to Pope Innocent IV. In 1254 he was appointed joint Ambassador to Castile. He was sent to Edinburgh in 1255 for the purpose of freeing the young king and queen of Scotland from the hands of Robert de Roos. In 1256 he and Richard, Earl of Cornwall, were employed by the king in settling differences between Archbishop Boniface and the Bishop of Rochester. In March 1258 he was appointed joint Ambassador to France. In July 1258 he fell ill, being poisoned with his brother, as it was supposed, by his steward, Walter de Scotenay. He recovered, with the loss of his hair and nails, but his brother died. In 1259 he was appointed chief Ambassador to treat with the Duke of Brittany. At the commencement of hostilities between the king and the nobles, occasioned by Henry's predilection for his Poitevin relatives, he favored the Baronial cause. SIR RICHARD DE CLARE, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, died testate at Ashenfield (in Waltham), Kent 15, 16, or 22 July 1262 (rumored that he had been poisoned at the the Cathedral Church of Christ at Canterbury, where his entrails were buried before the altar of St. Edward the Confessor; the body was forthwith taken to the Collegiate Church of Tonbridge, Kent, where the heart was buried; and thence the body was finally borne to Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, and buried there in the choir at Tewkesbury Abbey at his father's right hand 28 July 1262.

"MAUD FITZ THOMAS, born about 1269-72 (aged 26 in 1295, aged 30 in 1302). She married before June 1282 JOHN BOTETOURT (or BUTETURTE, BOUTECOURTE, BOTECOURT, BUTECOURT), Knt., of Little Effingham and Upton, Norfolk, Great Bradley, Suffolk, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire, Linslade, Buckinghamshire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, etc., Admiral of the North Fleet, Warden of the Forest of Dean and Constable of St. Briayels Castle, 1291-1308, Governor of Framlingham Castle, son and heir of Guy Botetourt, Knt., of Little Effingham, Cantley, Cranworth, Fishley, Kimberley, Upton, and Woodrising, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada. They had four sons, Thomas, Knt., John, K.B., Otes, Knt., and Robert, and three daughters, Joan, Ada, and Elizabeth. He began his household career as a falconer in the 1270s. He first campaigned in Wales in 1282 as a squire of the household. His wife, Maud, was co-heiress in 1283 to her brother, Otes Fitz Thomas, and sole heiress in 1285 to her sister, Joan, wife of Guy Ferre, by which she inherited the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint, together with the manors of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Belchamp Otton, Gestingthorpe, and Gosfield, Essex, Woodmancote, Gloucestershire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, and a one-third share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire. In 1286 he claimed view of frankpledge and free warren in Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. Sometime in the period, 1291-1302, Maud was heiress to her cousin, Joan, daughter of Hugh Fitz Otes, Knt., by which she inherited the manor of Isetthampstead (in Chesham), Buckinghamshire. In 1292-3 he was a justice of gaol delivery in Warwickshire and Leicestershire. In 1293 he and his wife Maud his wife quitclaimed to the Abbot of Colchester their right to the advowson of the church of Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. In 1294 when the king faced the threat of French galleys raiding the south coast of England, he appointed two household knights, William de Leyboume and John Botetourt as captain and sub-captain of the fleet. In the following year they were described as admirals - the first use of the term in England. In 1296 he commanded 94 ships taken from ports between Harwich and King's Lynn, the great majority from Yarmouth. In 1298 and 1299 he served on four commissions of oyer and terminer. In 1298 he had letters of protection for one year, he then going to Scotland. He was accompanied in that campaign by his younger brother, Guy Botetourt, and his valet, William Botetourt. In 1300 he complained William de Wolcherchehaw, taverner, beat one of his carters and did "other enormities;" the defendant came into court and pledged a cask of wine to him. He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300; the metrical chronicler of that siege described him as "light of heart and doing good to all." The same year he was appointed one of three commissioners to inquire into cases of exportation of sterling money, gold and silver, plate, wool, etc., and the exchange of the same for base coin which was imported into England and unlawfully changed. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301. In 1304 he led a raid into Nithsdale with 130 cavalry and 1,770 infantry. The same year the king ordered him to assist Robert de Brus, then on the English side, in transporting one great engine in preparation of the siege train for the siege of Stirling in Scotland. He was summoned to Parliament from 13 July 1305 to 13 Sept. 1324, by writs directed Jobanni Botetourt, whereby he may be held to have become Lord Botetourt. In 1305 he was appointed one of the justices of trailbaston. The same year he was sent to treat with the Scots on the affairs of that kingdom. In 1306 he enrolled himself as performing the service of one knight in Scotland, but in fact he had a contingent of three knights and eleven squires with him. In 1307 he again commanded a raid against the Scots. Sometime before 1309-10, he and his wife, Maud, conveyed land in Linslade, Buckinghamshire to William Rous. In 1309-10 William Fitz Walter conveyed the manor of Great Bradley, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1310 he obtained a license to alienate lands and rents in Mendlesham, Suffolk in mot twain to the value of 100s. for a chaplain to celebrate in Mendlesham church. In 1311 he and his wife, Maud, were granted the reversion of the manors of Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire and Great Carbrooke, Norfolk by Baldwin de Manners, Knt., who died childless in 1320. John sold the former manor to William la Zouche Mortimer, Knt., Lord Zouche, and Alice his wife in 1323; the latter manor was held in 1327 by John Botetourt's son-in-law, William le Latimer. In 1312 John Botetourt and several others were granted letters of safe-conduct by the king to confer in London with Arnold, Cardinal of St. Prisca, and Louis, Count of Evreux, who were sent to help effect a reconciliation between King Edward II and the disaffected earls. In 1314 he commanded the fleet employed in the expedition against Scotland. The same year Peter de Burgate, Knt., released all his right in the manor of Mendlesham, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1315 he complained that those recruited for his company were "feeble chaps, not strong enough, not properly dressed, and lacking bows and arrows." In 1316 he presented his brother, Master Roger Botetourt, as rector of Great Bradley, Suffolk. In 1318 he again presented to the church of Great Bradley, Suffolk. The same year he and his wife, Maud, complained that Richard, Abbot of St. Edmunds, William de Cleye, and many others came to Tivetshall, Norfolk, where Maud and some of the servants of the said John were lodged, maliciously raised a hue and cry against them, expelled the said Maud and the servants from the inn, carried away the goods of the said John, and assaulted the said servants. Either he or his grandson, John Botetourt, was heir sometime after 1318-19 to his brother, William Botetourt, by which he inherited the manor of Cantley, Norfolk. In 1319 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Woodmancote, Gloucestershire to Robert de Swynburn. In 1320 he obtained a license to alienate one acre of land in Fishley, Norfolk, together with the advowson of a moiety of the church of Fishley, Norfolk, to the Prior and Convent of St. Mary's, Weybridge, and for them to appropriate the said moiety, to find a chaplain to celebrate divine services for the soul of the said John and the souls of his ancestors. In 1321 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire to John de Wysham, Knt., and his wife, Hawise de Poynings; in 1322-3 he conveyed the manor and advowson of the church of Little Effingham, Norfolk to the same couple. John joined the rebellion of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and fought at the Battle of Boroughbridge 16 March 1321/2. He was subsequently fined ?1000, and received a pardon 8 October 1322. In 1323 he and his wife, Maud, conveyed the manor of Isenhampstead Chesham), Buckinghamshire to Hugh le Despenser the younger, but, on Hugh's execution and attainder in 1326, the manor escheated to the crown and custody was re-granted to Maud Botetourt. In 1323-4 they made a settlement of the manor of Great Carbrooke, Norfolk, evidently in connection with the marriage of their daughter, Elizabeth, to William le Latimer, as William was lord of this manor in 1327. In 1324 John paid the Italian bankers, the Peruzzi, 100 marks, evidently in payment of a debt he owed to Hugh le Despenser the younger. SIR JOHN BOTETOURT, 1st Lord Botetourt, died 25 Nov. 1324. In 1325 his widow, Maud, sued Andrew de Bures, Robert de Bures and his wife, Hillary, and John de Wysham and his wife, Hawise, for one third part of the manor of Little Effingham, Norfolk, which she claimed as her dower. In 1327 she likewise sued Robert son of John Botetourt, John de Wynchestre and others regarding unspecified land in Suffolk. In 1328 she obtained a license to enfeoff Master William Artoys of a messuage and land in Renhold, Bedfordshire. On 12 Nov. 1328 she obtained a license to convey to her daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth and William le Latimer, her share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire, including the manors of Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire. Maud, Lady Botetourt, died shortly before 27 Nov. 1328. In May 1329 her son-in-law, William le Latimer, was pardoned for having previously purchased from her without license the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint. In 1330 John and Maud's son, Otes Botetourt, obtained a license to alienate in mortrnain a messuage, 30 acres of land, and 30s. in rent in Mendlesham, Suffolk to a chaplain to celebrate divine services in the parish church of Mendlesham for the souls of his parents.
(Note: F.N. Craig published a brilliant article entitled "The Parentage of John Botetourt (died 1324)" in TAG 63 (1988): 145-153, which article provides compelling evidence that Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, is the son and heir of Sir Guy Botetourt (died c.1316), of Effingham, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada (living 1311-12). Specifically, Mr. Craig showed that Sir Guy Botetourt had the manors of Effingham (his chief seat), Uphall (in Cantley), and Upton, Norfolk, all of which passed to Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, or his descendants. For additional evidence of Sir John Botetourt's parentage, see Byerly & Byerly Recs. of the Wardrobe & Household 1286-1289 (1986): 258, which mentions Robert brother of John Botetourt. This Robert appears to be the same individual as Robert son of Guy Botetourt, a priest, who occurs in 1306; a Roger son of Guy Botetourt, also a priest, is named in 1306 [see Papal Regs.: Letters 2 (1895): 15, 211.

He was heir in 1209 to his uncle, Robert de Courtenay. He married in 1210-11 (grant of her marriage) MARY DE VERNON, widow of Peter de Preaux, Knt.,* of Alton, Hampshire, Sudbury (in West Ham), Essex, etc., lord of the Channel Islands, Constable of Rouen (living 1209), and daughter of William de Vernon, Knt., 5th Earl of Devon, by Mabel, daughter of Robert II, Count of Meulan [see VERMANDOIS 8 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included lands in Crewkerne, Somerset, with the foreign hundred and the chace there. They had three sons, John, Knt., William, Knt., and Robert [Dean of Auckland], and two daughters, Egeline and Hawise. In 1209 he paid a fine to the king of 400 marks and two great horses to have seisin of the manor of Sutton, Berkshire. In 1211 he owed 1,200 marks to have the honour of Oakhampton, Devon, which had been in the king's hands. In 1217 he was ordered by the king to release Exeter Castle and the stannaries and coinage of Devon to the queen mother. In 1214 he sued Roger Chike and two others regarding lands in Sutton, Berkshire. In April 1218 he offered 5 marks to have a jury concerning the hundred of Redlane which he said was his and pertains to his manor of Iweme, which hundred, and the hundred of Gillingham, were withdrawn from him and his ancestors. In July 1218 the king committed custody of the manor of Sutton, Berkshire to John of Wiggonholt for as long as it pleases the king, so that he answer for the issues of the same manor to Stephen de Croy, merchant of Amiens, for the debt which Robert de Courtenay owed him. In 1219 the king ordered the Sheriff of Devon that he cause Robert de Courtenay to have full seisin of all lands and appurtenances in Devonshire formerly of Hawise de Courtenay, his mother, which fell to the said Robert by inheritance. In 1220 he was granted a two day fair at his manor of Okehampton, Devon. In 1220 John de Saint Helen sued him regarding half a hide of land in Sutton, Berkshire. The same year Maud de Courtenay (his aunt and step-grandmother) sued him regarding the manors of Oakhampton, Chulmleigh, Kenn, and Musbury, and Sampford, Devon and Hemington, Somerset, which she claimed as her right. In 1224 he made fine with the king to render ?30 to him annually at the Exchequer of the ?190 8s. 7d. due from him to the king; he was allowed such costs he incurred, by order of the king and the same justiciar, to fill a breach in the wall of Exeter castle. In 1227 the king committed the manor of Sedborough (in Parkham), Devon with its appurtenances to his wife, Mary. In 1230 he was overseas in the service of the king. In the period, 1230-2, he settled a long standing dispute with Abingdon Abbey regarding digging turves from the manor of Culham for the repair of Sutton mill, Berkshire. SIR ROBERT DE COURTENAY died at Iweme, Dorset about 27 July 1242, and was buried at Ford Abbey, Dorset. His widow, Mary, was living 15 July 1250.

They had no issue. He accompanied King Richard I on crusade in 1190. He distinguished himself at the Siege of Acre in 1192. In the period, 1194-9, he served King Richard I throughout his wars against Philip II of France. In 1203 he was in charge of the escheats of Normandy and the Jews, except for the Jews of Rouen and Caen. The same year he was granted all the land which Peter de Meulan (his Wife's uncle) held at Sens, Normandy. In 1204, in agreement with the leading men of the city, he surrendered Rouen to King Philippe Auguste of France. He was living in 1209.]

Nonetheless, cousins they were, so that in 1217, when Robert de Courtenay was asked to surrender Exeter to Isabella, he is described in King Henry III's letter as 'our kinsman.' Perhaps because of his kinship to one of the leading families of France, Robert de Courtenay of Okehampton appears to have been singled out for particularly harsh treatment by Louis and the French during the civil war of 1216-17, being deprived of his lands in one of Louis' few surviving English charters. The fact that the original of this charter survived amongst the Courtenay family archives in France provides further proof, if such were needed, of the kinship between the English and French Courtenays.

"ELA OF SALISBURY, suo jure Countess of Salisbury, daughter and heiress, born in or about 1191. She married before Sept. 1197 WILLIAM LONGESP?E, Knt., Earl of Salisbury, Lieutenant of Gascony, 1202, Seneschal of Avranches, 1203, Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports, 1204-6, Sheriff of Wiltshire, 1204-7, 1213-26, Lord of the Honour and Castle of Eye, 1205, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, 1212-16, Sheriff of Devon, 1217-18, Sheriff of Somersetshire, 1217, Sheriff of Lincolnshire, 1217-21, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1223-4, Constable of Portchester, Southampton, and Winchester Castles, 1224, Keeper of the March of Wales, illegitimate son of Henry II, King of England, by his mistress, Ida, daughter of Ralph de Tony, of Flamstead, Hertfordshire [see ENGLAND 4 for his ancestry]. He was born say 1175-80.
They had four sons,
1. William, Knt. [Earl of Salisbury],
2. Stephen, Knt.,
3. Richard [Canon of Salisbury], and
4. Nicholas [Bishop of Salisbury],
and six daughters,
5. Ida,
6. Mary,
7. Isabel,
8. Ela,
9. Ida (2nd of name), and
10. Pernel.
In 1191 he was granted the manor of Kirton, Lincolnshire by his brother, King Richard I. He was present at the Coronation of his brother, King John, in 1199. In 1200 he witnessed the homage of William the Lion, King of Scots to King John at Lincoln. In 1202 he went on a diplomatic mission to France. In 1204 he escorted Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales, to the king. In 1206 he was in the escort of William the Lion, King of Scotland, to meet King John at York. In 1209 he headed an embassy to the prelates and princes of Germany, on behalf of the King's nephew, Otto, King of the Romans. In 1212 he and his wife, Ela, instituted suit in the king's court against Ela's kinsman, Henry de Bohun, for the entire barony of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Henry's chief fief. The king assumed control of the honour, but allowed Earl William's agents to levy scutage from its tenants. In 1213 Earl William was joint commander of an expedition to help the Count of Flanders against France. In 1214, as Marshal of the King of England, he commanded forces which recovered nearly all of Flanders for the Count; after which he and the Counts of Flanders and Boulogne were captured at the Battle of Bouvines and thrown into prison in chains. He was released before May 1215, and returned to England. In 1215 he was present at Runnymeade on the king's side at the signing of the Magna Carta [Great Charter]. He was granted the manor of Andover, Hampshire in 1215 by his brother, King John. He remained a zealous royalist until June 1216, when he surrendered Salisbury Castle to Prince Louis. He returned his allegiance to the king before 7 March 1216/7, when his lands were restored to him. In August 1217 he was with Hubert de Burgh in the victory over the French fleet off Thanet. In 1217 he was granted the manor of Aldbourne, Wiltshire by the king. In 1220 he and his wife laid the 4th and 5th stones at the founding of the new Cathedral at Salisbury, Wiltshire. In 1222 he gave the manor of Heythrop, Gloucestershire to certain monks and brethren of the Carthusian order, and assigned part of his revenues towards the building of a monastery for them there. In 1223 he took part in the successful expedition against Llywelyn. In 1225 he went with Richard, Earl of Cornwall as a supervisory commander on a successful expedition to Gascony. He gave Bradenstoke Priory the advowson of the church of Rogerville (Seine-Inf?rieure), together with land and rents there and in Sandouville (Seine-Inf?rieure), and a virgate of land in Chitterne and one in Amesbury, Wiltshire. At an unspecified date William, with consent of Ela his wife, granted the land called "Chandewyk" to William de Nevill, which property he had by grant of Jordan de Saint Martin. SIR WILLIAM LONGESP?E, Earl of Salisbury, died at Salisbury Castle, Wiltshire 7 March 1225/6, and was buried in Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire. He left a will dated Midlent 1225. Among other bequests he left 200 marks to the new building of the Salisbury Cathedral Church, plus ?200 to the building of St. Mary Bentleywood, Wiltshire, together with his traveling chapel-furniture, breviary, and numerous head of cattle. In 1226 Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, brought an action against Earl William's widow, Ela, over the castle and honour of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, including lands in Bishtopstrow, East Coulston, Manningford Bruce (in Wilsford), Newton Tony, Staverton (in Trowbridge), Trowbridge, and Wilsford, Wiltshire; the suit was settled by compromise in 1230, whereby the two parties divided the honour between them. In Jan. 1227 the king transferred Salisbury castle, together with the shrievalty of Wiltshire, to Ela during his pleasure, which she held until 1228. Further evidence of Ela's high standing in royal favour is indicated by the king's regular gifts of venison to her throughout the late 1220s, including one in Sept. 1227 to celebrate the forthcoming nuptials of her daughter, Mary. In 1227 the monks of Heythrop not liking their habitation, prevailed on Ela to remove them to Hinton, Somerset, where, in her park, she began a monastery for them, which was completed in 1232. In 1227 she granted all her land west of Bendeywood, Wiltshire to the Hospital of St. Nicholas' Hospital for the sustenance of the poor and infirm. In 1229 Countess Ela founded Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire. In April 1231 Ela secured custody of the county of Wiltshire and Salisbury Castle for the term of her life for a fine of 200 marks, the king stipulating that neither the countess or her heirs possessed any legal claim to the castle and county by hereditary right. She was co-heiress c.1232-3 to her mother, Eleanor de Vitr?, by which she inherited an interest in the manor of Cowlinge, Suffolk. In Feb. 1236 her son and heir, William Longesp?e, guaranteed her gifts to Lacock Abbey, while she agreed to surrender all her lands, rents and rights to him on 1 Nov. following. On 25 October 1236 Ela, Countes of Salisbury, reached agreement with William Longesp?e, her first born son, that she may grant a moiety of the manor of Heddington, Wiltshire to Lacock Priory, which property fell to her on the death of Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford. In the winter 1236-7 she resigned her custody of the county of Wiltshire. She subsequently entered her religious foundation at Lacock, where she took the veil before spring 1238. She served as abbess there from 1240 to 1257. In 1249 she gave formal license to her son, William, to depart on a crusade. In 1250, on the eve of the battle in which he was killed in Egypt, she saw a vision of him standing fully armed entering heaven, being joyfully received by attendant angels. She died 24 August 1261, and was buried in the convent choir beneath the altar at Lacock Abbey.
Note: William Longesp?e, Earl of Salisbury has long been known to have been an illegitimate child of Henry II, King of England, allegedly by his mistress, Rosamond Clifford. As early as 1902, however, it was suspected that William Longesp?e's mother was connected to the Akeny family, a cadet branch of the Tony family [see Wordsworth 15th Cent. Cartulary of St. Nicholas' Hospital, Salisbury (1902): xxv, footnote 1]. New evidence has surfaced in recent years which proves conclusively that William Longesp?e was the son of King Henry II by another mistress, a certain Ida de Tony, afterwards wife of Roger le Bigod (died 1221), Earl of Norfolk [see C.P. 9 (1936): 586-589 (sub Norfolk); Kemp Reading Abbey Cartularies 1 (Camden 4th Ser. 31) (1986): 3711. For evidence that William Longesp?e was the son of Countess Ida le Bigod, see London Cartulary of Bradenstoke Priory (Wiltshire Rec. Soc. 35) (1979): 143, 188, which includes two charters in which Earl William Longesp?e specifically names his mother, Countess Ida. It is known from contemporary records that Countess Ida le Bigod had a younger son named Ralph le Bigod [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b]. Among the English prisoners captured at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, there was a certain Ralph [le] Bigod, who a contemporary French record refers to as "brother" [that is, half-brother] of William Longesp?e, Earl of Salisbury [see Recueil des Historiens des Gaules et de la France 17 (1878): 101 (Guillelmus Armoricus: "Isti sunt Prisiones (capti in bello Bovinensi) ... Radulphus Bigot, frater Comitis Saresburiensis"); see also Malo Un Grand Feudataire, Renaud de Dammartin et la Coalition de Bouvines (1898):199, 209, which author identified Ralph le Bigod as brother of William Longesp?e, Earl of Salisbury]. For evidence that Countess Ida was a member of the Tony family, see Morris Bigod Earls of Norfolk (2005): 2, who cites a royal inquest dated 1275, in which jurors affirmed that Earl Roger le Bigod was given Ida de Tony in marriage by King Henry II, together with the manors of Acle, Halvergate, and South Walsharn, Norfolk [which properties were formerly held by Earl Roger's father] [see Rotuli Hundredorum 1 (1812): 504, 537]. Morris shows that Earl Roger le Bigod received these manors by writ of the king, he having held them for three quarters of a year at Michaelmas 1182 [see PR 28 Henry II, 1181-1182 (Pipe Roll Soc.) (1910): 64]. This appears to pinpoint to marriage of Ida de Tony and Earl Roger le Bigod as having occurred about Christmas 1181. As for Countess Ida's parentage, it seems certain that she was a daughter of Ralph de Tony (died 1162), of Flamstead, Hertfordshire, by his wife, Margaret (b. c.1125, living 1185), daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester. | FITZPATRICK, Countess Of Salisbury Ela Countess Of Salisbury (I13628)

"Selby Families of Colonial America" by Donna Valley Russell,
Thomas Selby was probably born before 1630 and died at his plantation, Simpleton in Somerset County, Maryland, between 28 October 1701 and 24 October 1702. He married first (name unknown) by who he had a son Thomas. He married second in Virginia by 1656 Mary (maiden name unknown) Cornelius, widow of Jan Cornelius. She was the mother of his other children. He married third Ann Jones Rickards, daughter of Ann Jones Michaels and widow of Michael Rickards, Senior.
Thomas Selby first appears in Virginia records on 27 November 1652, when John Brown of Northampton County was granted 1000 acres of land near Matchepongo at Phillips Creek for transporting twenty persons to Virginia, on of whom was Thomas Solbie. On 9 July 1657, Thomas Selby discharged a debt from Samuel Jones. On 9 January 1659, at a meeting held in the town of Accomack, the Court stated that future meetings would be held at the house of Mr. Thomas Selby. On the same day Thomas and wife Mary Sellbe sold to Jno. Willcock their 400 acre plantation on the north side of Hungar's Creek adjoining Major William Andrews. On 4 January 1660, Thomas Selby, planter, filed a deed recording a debt to Capt. William Whittington, also of Northampton County, for 3700 pounds of tobacco, due by 10 October next, with security of one gray mare called Jane and her increase, "Now at my plantation at Hungars Creek."
Thomas was surely born by 1630, possibly in Ireland, but likely in England, if he was related to Daniel Selby who came to Virginia by 1670. Both settled in the part of Virginia which later became Worcester County, Maryland. Thomas was probably older, basedon the face that he had been married and had a son Thomas by the time he married Mary Cornelius (widow of Jan Cornelius), shortly after 1656. This earlier marriage is made clear by a document dated November 1694 in which Selby distinguishes between "my" son Thomas and "our" daughters. this document also identified Andrew Selby, as Thomas' brother. Thomas and Mary had three daughters by 1661. Mary is named as a headright when Thomas claimed land from Maryland, and died by 4 May 1674, by which time Thomas had married Ann Rickards, widow of Michael Rickards, Senr. this identification is established by the will of Ann's mother, Ann Michaels dated 4 May 1674 and a Northampton County deed of 29 July 1696, in which Selby was granted judgment for a debt against Francis Shipps.
Thomas acquired a tract in Northampton County through his wife, Mary, which Jan Cornelius had purchased in 1652 from Ann Stockdell Ward and her husband, William Ward. Cornelius, who, with Mary, was claimed as a headright by Governor Samuel Matthews, was probably not transported by him, as the Governor's family had no known connections with the Eastern Shore. Cornelius had apparently been squatting on the land of Thomas Burbage, located near the land Jan later owned. On 9 January 1659, Thomas Selby and wife Mary sold the 400 acres to John Willcocks. This land was in present Franktown on the bayside of the county. By 1664, Thomas Selby acquired, probably from Robert Windley, although there is no record of the sale, 500 acres called Allen's Quarter, and during that year Thomas and Mary sold, or more likely mortgaged, the south half to Henry Bishop, which Selby repurchased two years late, and then sold the entire parcel to John Hopkins of Bristol, England. This tract was in the southern part of Accomack County in present Belle Haven Town, and is probably the land Selby was taxed on in 1663-1666.
Thomas Selby's will was made on 28 October 1701; he died before 24 October 1702, when it was probated. He left his entire estate, house, plantation, and cattle to his un-named wife for her lifetime, except son Thomas was to have the use and privileges of the plantation and to maintain the fence in the neck used for watering the stock. After wife's death, if son Thomas died without lawful heirs, the estate was to go to testator's grandchildren Selby Clavell and Selby Onion, "now living in Virginia", both sons of his daughter Elizabeth Selby Clavell Onions. Jones Richard was allowed the privilege of Selby's pastrue while wifee Ann was alive. At her death, son Thomas was instructed to give the following grandchildren each a heifer: Selby Clavell, Elizabeth Baker, Comfort Clavell, Rebecca Clavell, John Onions, Thomas Onions, and Selby Onions. Also, at wife's death, son Thomas was to have the copper kettle, two feather beds, and furniture, "and also one feather bed and furniture belonging it to my grandson Thomas Selby."
Additional headright and land information as well as other details on the will and estate are in the book on pages 13 16.

"the Hammer" BIOGRAPHY: Charles Martel, Carolingian ruler of the Frankish kingdom of Austrasia (in present northeastern France and southwestern Germany). Charles, whose surname means 'the hammer', was the son of Pepin of Herstal and the Grandfather of Charlemagne. Pepin was mayor of the palace under the last kings of the Merovingian dynasty. When he died in 714, Charles, an illegitimate son, was imprisoned by his father's widow, but escaped in 715 and was proclaimed mayor of the palace by the Austrasians. A war between Austrasia and the Frankish kingdom of Neustria (now part of France) followed, and at the end of it Charles became the undisputed ruler of all the Franks. Although he was engaged in wars against the Alamanni, Bavarians, and Saxons, his greatest achievements were against the Muslims from Spain, who invaded France in 732. Charles defeated them near Poitiers in a great battle in which the Muslim leader, Abd-ar-Rahman, the Emir of Spain, was killed. The progress of Islam, which had filled all Christendom with alarm, was thus checked for a time. Charles drove the Muslims out of the Rhone valley in 739, when they had again advanced into France as far as Lyon, leaving them nothing of their possessions north of the Pyrenees beyond the Aude River. Charles died in Quierzy, on the Oise River, leaving the kingdom divided between his two sons, Carloman and Pepin the Short. Microsoft Encarta 98 Encyclopedia. BIOGRAPHY: The Battle of Tours near Poitiers October 11 ends the menace of a 90,000-man Moorish army that has invaded southern France under the Yemenite Abd ar-Rahman, who has crossed the Pyrenees, captured and burned Bordeaux, defeated an army under Eudo, duke of Aquitaine, and destroyed the basilica of St. Hilary at Poitiers. The Moors march on Tours, attracted by the riches of its famous church of St. Martin, but they are routed in battle by the Frankish leader Charles Martel (Charles the Hammer), 44 whose men kill Abd ar-Rahman. The Moors retreat to the Pyrenees, and their advance into Europe is terminated, partly by their loss to Charles Martel and partly by a frvolt of the Berbers in North Africa. BIOGRAPHY: Charles Martel, Mayor of Austrasia and Neustria, conquers, Burgundy. BIOGRAPHY: Pope Gregory III asks Charles Martel to help fight the Lombards, Greeks, and Arabs. BIOGRAPHY: Charles Martel dies October 22 at age 53 after dividing his realms between his elder son Carloman and younger son Pepin, although the country has had no true king since the death of Theodoric in 737. Lands to the east, including Austrasia, Alemannia, and Thuringia, have gone to Carloman along with suzerainty over Bavaria, while Pepin has received Neustria, Burgundy, and Provence.

"The Signer"
Per Jerry Stockton:
John Stockton was a signer of the Albemarle Declaration of Independence.
Note: "The first book that included information about the Davis Stockton family of Virginia was by Dr. Thomas Coates Stockton in 1911. In his book he shows the John Stockton who signed the Albemarle County, Virginia, Declaration of Independence as the son of Richard 2 (Davis 1) Stockton. This was thought to be correct until about the 1960's. At that time several researches came to the correct conclusion that all of Richard 2 Stockton's children had moved to the southern Virginia counties of Henry, Pittsylvania and Franklin before the 21 April 1779 signing of the Albemarle County document." "Only the family of Thomas 2 (Davis 1) Stockton still live in Albemarle County in the late 1770's. The book Davis Stockton of Virginia, 1972, credits John 3 (Thomas 2, Davis 1) Stockton as being "The Signer." This appears correct to me and I do not know of anyone who debates this point."
Albemarle Co., VA Deed Book 9, pg 57; 10 March 1785; Thomas and Fannie Stocton to John Stockton 148 acres on Stockton's Creek, fork of Mechums River and Virgin Creek for 160 pounds current money of Virginia; signed and sealed by Thomas Stockton only.
*Albemarle Co., Deed Book 9:507; "This indenture made 21 May in the year of our Lord ..(1788) Between John Stockton and Margaret his wife of Albemarle County on the one part and Jesse Stockton of the County aforesaid of the other part witnesseth that the said John Stockton and Margaret his wife for and in Consideration of the Sum of 80 pounds to them in hand paid by the said Jesse Stockton the Receipt whereof they do hereby acknowledge have given bargained sell ... one Certain tract or parcel of land containing 148 acres lying in the fork of Mechams River on the head of Virgin Creek Bounded as followeth... that they the said John Stockton and Margaret his wife at the time of the Ensealing of these presents are and Seized of a sure Certain & Indefeasible Estate of Inheritance in fee simple in the land and premises before mentioned ...

"the Torrey book, as well as the two supplements to it, so I took a look for you:"
Pg. 493 - MARVIN, Matthew (1600-1680) & 1/wf Elizabeth [?GREGORY]; b 1623; Hartford/Norwalk
MARVIN, Matthew (1600-1680) & 2/wf Alice [BOUTON] (1610-1680), w John; ca 1647; Hartford/Norwalk
Pg. 788 - WEBB, Richard (1580-1665) & 1/wf Grace WILSON; in Eng, May 1610; Cambridge/Boston WEBB, Richard ( - 1665) & 2/wf Elizabeth [GREGORY]/BUCHARD?/GRANT ( - 1680); b 1635; Cambridge/etc.
So, he evidently saw something that led him to believe that the Elizabeth who married Matthew MARVIN might have been a GREGORY, but he was uncertain. He certainly didn't mention who her father was. Neither supplement mentioned MARVIN or WEBB. You can order the microfilm of Torrey's original manuscript, which contains his notes, through your local Mormon library. Then you can check to see what led Torrey to suspect she may have been a GREGORY.
In Pope's __Pioneers of Massachusetts__ pg. 303-304, under MARVIN it says "Matthew, husbandman, ae. 35, with wife Elizabeth, ae. 31, (children) Elizabeth ae. 13, Matthew, ae. 8, Marie, ae. 6, Sarah, ae. 3, and Hannah , ae. 1 1/2 yr., came in the Increase April 15, 1635." No source for this information is listed, but it sounds like it came from a passenger list.
Pope had nothing much under GREGORY, nor did Savage. Torrey evidently found information to dispute Savage's dates for Matthew, since Savage said that Matthew died in 1687 but Torrey said 1680.
So, it sounds as if there is no definitive reason to say Elizabeth was a GREGORY, although it is possible. You'd best check out Torrey's notes on microfilm.

"WICHINGHAM's MANOR. In the 1st of king John, William de Bellamont, and Muriel his wife, conveyed by fine to Gilbert de Langtoft, the service of two knights fees, and the third part of one in this town, Saxlingharn, Bintry, Ickburgh, &c. and Sarah de Wychingham was found, in the 31ft of Henry III. to hold the fourth part of a fee here of Robert Langtoft, he of the earl of Gloucester, and the earl of the king: she was then the widow of Walter de Wychingham, descended of an ancient family, who had very soon after the conquest an interest here. William, son of Wycher de Wychingham, was living in the reign of king Stephen, and Roger de Wychingham was father of Walter aforesaid, whose son Walter was living in the 53d of Henry III. when Robert de Newton, sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, received 10s. 8d. of him to excuse him from being a knight; and the said Walter was lord, and kept a court in the 7th of Edward 1.
"Roger, son of Walter, was living in the said reign, and granted messuages, lands, &c. to Sarah, widow of Walter.
"Sir William de Wychingham, son of Richer de Wychingham, was lord in the 33d of Edward III. ..."[1]
It would appear that "Roger" is the same as "Richer": Sir William de Wychingham's father Richer is the same as "Roger, son of Walter."

John Steele (Richard, Richard,Robert) immigrated to Cambridge in 1633 and removed to Hartford in 1635 and to Farmington in 1645. He was made a freeman in Cambridge 14 May 1634. He was appointed Massachusetts Bay commissioner for new settlements on the Connecticut River on 3 Mar 1635/6. He was deputy to the General Court for Cambridge on 4 Mar 1634/5, 6 May 1635, and 2 Sep 1635. He is reported to have been leader of a pioneer contingent from Cambridge who traveled in the autumn of 1635 to the new location on the Connecticut River, ahead of the group led by Rev. Hooker the next year to this new settlement eventually named Hartford. John Steele had moved to Farmington, CT, about nine
miles west of Hartford, by 1652 - even though he had served as recorder for Farmington starting in 1645. He was admitted to the church in Farmington "about the 30th day of January, 1652." He left a lengthy will, dated 30 Jan 1663/4 and proved 15 Jun 1665.
He was educated enough to be recorder at Hartford and Farmington. His estate inventory included two bibles and 14 other books.
