11101 The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planche, Somerset Herald. London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.

We hear nothing of Herleve after the birth of William until she appears as the lawful wife of a Norman knight named Herluin de Conteville, [Pere Anselm, vol. ii, p. 470, has the following astounding marginal note: ?" D'autres le nomment Gilbert de Crepon"! There may be "more in this than meets the eye" at present.] of whom little is known beyond the fact that he was a widower, father of a son named Ralph, on whom William is said to have bestowed large domains, besides heaping honours and possessions on Herluin, both in Normandy and England, though no one knows what or where. He held the honour of Sainte Marie Eglise, a portion of the Comte of Mortain, but whether the gift of the Conqueror to him, or a family possession, does not appear. He had a castle there, and founded in its neighbourhood the Abbey of Grestain, in which he and his wife were buried.

11102 The dates and associations listed are the 'most likely' although not all proven, as data is collected from many conflicting sources. Doug Goodman lists birthplace as Pentcaitland, Lothian, Scotland and date as either 1682 or 1685. James A. Willhite lists birth as 1668 in Perthsire. Willhite also lists marriage in about 1690 and immigration to US in about 1700. Gail Budda lists birth date in 1682 in Perthshire and immigration via Staten Island in about 1706.
Listed in census of Staten Island NY in 1706, Stillwell's vol. no. 1, aged 24 yrs. Will dated Feb. 12, 1732, proved Aug. 7th, 1734 (Sect. of States Office, Trenton N.J., xxxt104 Book H.H. Page 34.
Per: http://terisha4.tripod.com/kingreed/id9.html Duncan Oliphant was a member of the Anglican Church, and an active supporter of it even after he came to this country. He was well thought of enough to be appointed Constable of Staten Island. This indicates he was not in the same dire straits as John and Janet Gilchrist Oliphant (unproven and unlikely parents as speculated by some). He had the money to buy the property in New Jersey, though admittedly this could have come from the dowry of his wife. He named his eldest son David. Naming patterns followed in Scotland in that time period dictated that the eldest son be named after the father's father. This supports the other prevalent theory that he was the son of David Oliphant, born abt 1648 in Perthshire, Scotland, son of Sir Laurence Oliphant and his wife, Lillias Oliphant. Sir Laurence and his cousin, Lillias, married in 1634. She was the daughter of Patrick Oliphant his wife, Elizabeth. David died in 02 Feb 1717 in Edinburgh and is buried at Greyfriars Abby. I have been unable to find the name of his wife or any record of his children.

e-mail from Evylene A. Canup, 15 Dec 2001; Descendants of Walter Oliphant ; The Oliphant family can be traced back to David Oliford who came to England with his brother Stephen. He was a good son of King David I of Scotland and Secretary to the King after the rout of the forces of Matilda at Winchester in 1141. He became the earliest Judge of record in Scotland. David Oliford, died between 1190 and 1200, whose son Sir Walter Oliphant (changed spelling of name) was Lord Justice General of Scotland and Justice of Lothian, died in 1249. He married a daughter of the Earl of Strathorn, etc. etc.
The first Oliphant I have a record of who came to the Colonies was William Oliphant who was a passenger on the "Henry & Francis" in 1685. It is generally believed that he was Duncan's brother. The "Henry & Francis" was a prison ship from Scotland. Our Colonial ancestor, Duncan Oliphant who was born 1682 in Perthshire, Scotland, the son of David Oliphant. Duncan came to New York around 1695 to 1700 and married in 1705; to Mary Garrison who was born 1686 in Scotland, the daughter of Lambert Garrison. They worshiped at the Old Dutch Church on Staten Island and the church records show that some of their children were baptized at this church. In the Census of Staten Island, New York, 1706, Stilwell's Vol. I list, Duncan Oliphant named as age 24 years. He was constable for the North Precinct, Richmond County, Staten Island, New York in 1709. Duncan moved his family in 1721-24 to East Amwell, New Jersey, where he had purchased a large tract of land in Hopewell Township, Burlington County, New Jersey (now Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey) where he was chosen Freeholder of Amwell Township. Until 1725 the Anglicans had heard services in their own houses. Then on January 22, 1725 William Lummox granted eleven acres of land to John Knowles and Duncan Oliphant in trust for an Anglican Church. Organized under Crown Charter as St. Andrew's the first church on this site was built. Today nothing remains of the original St. Andrew's but a fragment of the graveyard that may be seen next to the Old Yorke Inn in the village of Ringoes. It is said that Duncan Oliphant was buried in this graveyard.

DNA Testing Yields More Garrison Descendants in New Jersey & New York; with further records of Johannes3 Gerritsen (Jan2 Gerrits, Gerrit1 Jansen) of Staten Island & Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey as the heretofore unknown father of John4 Garrison (say 1701? 1774) of Amwell Township, New Jersey & Staten Island, New York and the ancestor of the Garrison family of Amwell and Bethlehem Townships in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, probably including Jane (Garrison) Krusen, wife of Derrick/Richard6 Krusen (Francis5, Derrick4, Francis3, Derrick2, Garret1 Croesen) of Greenwood, NY and with insights on the brother-in-law of Johannes3 Gerritsen, Duncan Oliphant (ca. 1682? 1734) of Staten Island & Amwell Township, New Jersey," (January, February, March 2010; Volume 15, Number 1 and April, May, June 2010; Volume 15; Number 2).

11106 The earliest document record of a Nathaniel Parker being the father of Susannah (Parker) Daughhetee and the Elder John Parker is from page 16 of the 1934 book The History of the Daughhetee's. It's unknown whether the above referenced confusion of the Nathaniel Parker of Sumner Co. TN. as the father was already occurring. If so, then Nathaniel Parker as the father may be a red herring and the early Baltimore County, MD. records need to be searched for the parents of the Elder John Parker, Daniel Parker, Susannah (Parker) Daughhetee, Arron Parker..... PARKER, Susannah (I2313)
 
11107 The eldest son of Saher IV and MARGARET was ROBERT II, who was knighted in 1213, when his father was granted an aid from his tenants for that purpose. If the grant of knighthood to ROBERT II took place about the age of twenty, he must have been born about 1193 and his parents might have married about 1190. Robert did not inherit the earldom of Winchester because he was in rebellion at the time of his father's death. QUINCY, Robert De (I608)
 
11108 The eminent family of Vavasor, or Valvasour (as Camden has it), derived their name from their office, being formerly king's valvasor, a degree then little inferior to the baronial. "There are," say Bracton, "for the civil government of mankind, emperors, kings, and princes, magnates or valvasors, and knights."

Sir Mauger le Vavasor is mention in Doomsday Book as holding in chief of the Percys, Earls of Northumberland, considerable manors and estates in Stutton, Eselewood, Saxall (Saxon), &c. He was father of another Sir Mauger le Vavasor. [John Burke, History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. I, R. Bentley, London, 1834-1838, p. 51, Vavasour, of Weston]

11109 The emperor Constantius (Chlorus) I and his wife Theodora had sixchildren: Flavius Dalmatius, Julius Constantius, Hannibalianus,Constantia, Anastasia, and Eutropia. Constantia's full name was FlaviaJulia Constantia. The date of her birth is not known; even the relativeages of the six siblings are unknown, so that any list is ratherarbitrary in order. If one accepts 293 as the year of her parents'marriage --- that date, however, has been called in question -- then onemay assume that she was born at the very earliest in the following year.Nor is there direct evidence for her place of birth. But a good case canbe made for Trier, since this city served as Constantius' principalresidence during the years 293-306, and here, too, she must have spenther childhood years.

Late in 311 or early in 312, Constantine I, Constantia's half-brother,betrothed her to his fellow-emperor Licinius. She was then eighteen yearsold at most, while Licinius was more than twice her age. The marriagetook place some months later, probably in February of 313, on theoccasion of Constantine's meeting with Licinius in Milan. But therelationship between the two emperors was a strained one, and openhostilities, the bellum Cibalense, erupted in 316. Constantia remained ather husband's side. In about July of 315 she bore him a son namedValerius Licinianus Licinius.

A second war between Constantine and Licinius took place in 324.Licinius. was defeated twice, on July 3 at Adrianople and on September 18at Chrysopolis, and soon thereafter surrendered to Constantine.Constantia interceded with her half- brother for the life of her husband,and Constantine spared Licinius' life, ordering him to reside atThessalonike as a private citizen. A few months later, in the spring of325, Constantine ordered Licinius to be executed, violating an oath whichhe had sworn to Constantia. A year or so later, in 326, the youngerLicinius also fell victim to Constantine's wrath or suspicions.

The loss of both husband and son must have been a severe blow toConstantia and must have strained her relationship to Constantine.Nevertheless she occupied a position of honor and influence atConstantine's court, held the rank of nobilissima femina, and receivedConstantine's loving attention; Constantine was at her side when she diedca, 330, before reaching the age of forty. We do not know when, where, orhow Constantia first embraced Christianity. We do know that Eusebius,bishop of Nicomedia from ca. 317 on, wielded considerable influence atcourt. On one occasion Constantia exchanged letters with the otherEusebius, bishop of Caesarea. Jerome, Rufinus, Socrates, Sozomen, andTheodoret, while not in full agreement on some of the details, all reportthat she was a defender of the person and doctrine of Arius. She alsoattended the Council of Nicaea, where she counseled the representativesof the Arian party. 		Flavia Julia Constantia Constantius (I26180)
 
11110 The estates of Owen Roby and Susanna Roby were settled on 4 Apr 1815. Their living children were named and each received ?838.2.10 ? , with a few specific adjustments for some of the children. The children named were: William, Mary Rigges, Ann Moreland, Deborah Parrell [sic, should be Parriott], Statea Angle, Elizabeth Rigges, Owen, Isaac, Susanna Whitten. Administrators of the estates were William and Owen Jr.[2]

The land was described as "one hundred and thirty two poles of land" being "on the east side of the waggon road, leading from William's-Port to Isaac Houser's Mill" and "with the outline of Owen Robey deceased, his part of Chews Farm." The deed was signed by Bazel Riggs, Mary Riggs, Richard Parriott, Deborah Parriott, Edmund Riggs and John Witten. Elizabeth Riggs, Jacob Moler and Anna Moler signed with their marks. The deed was witnessed by Robert McCulloh, Isaac Houser, Jr. and William Yates. The deed was recorded on 26 June 1816.[3]

11112 The facts concerning Mary Key, the wife of Matthias Chitwood, Sr., are sometimes confusing but have been verified from multiple sources. She was apparently born before or soon after her parents' marriage in 1695. While her place of birth is said to be Northumberland County, Virginia, at least two of her younger brothers were supposed to have been born in England. It is certain that her father, Richard Key, Sr., was born in England where he is buried in St. Paul's Covent Garden. It seems possible Mary was also born in England.
More is known about the ancestors of Richard Key, Sr. His father was John Key, born on January 23, 1623, in Wilcombe, Oxfordshire, England; he died in 1695. He married Mary Lenman on May 2, 1645.
John Key's parents were Richard Key, born February 19, 1575, in Widell, Lancashire, England, and Elizabeth Cowper. His father was Thomas Keye (note different spelling), born in 1540 in Widell, Lancashire, England; died about 1575. He married Mary Flower. As an interesting side note, Thomas had an uncle (also named Thomas) whose wife, Mary Grey-Keye, was sister to Lady Jane Grey, Queen of England.
Thomas Keye's father was Roger Keye, born 1496 in Shepelbothan, Lancashire, England, who married Elizabeth Hurst on September 11, 1539. Roger Keye's father was John Keye, born 1471 in Littlewood, Lancashire, England, who married Margaret Nadem about 1495. He died in 1571.
The earliest direct ancestor who can be verified is Nicholas Keye, the father of John Keye. He was born in 1420 in Woodsome, Lancashire, England. I have been unable to find the name of his wife or the date of his death.

Mary's brother Philip Key was the Great Grandfather of Francis Scott Keye the author of the Star Spangled Banner. 		KEY, Mary (I3302)

11116 The first documented information on the Stockons is a land deed of 1739 in Goochland County, VA which later became Albemarle County. Davis Stockton's will was probated in 1762. Date of death from "Albemarle County in Virginia", by Rev. Edgar Woods. It is known that, on 12 March 1739, Davis was in Goochland (Albemarle) County, Virginia, where he obtained a grant of 400 acres adjoining land of Adam Godylouch. (This surname is spelled in numerous ways, including Goudylock.)

Since we now know through DNA testing that Davis and Robert Stockton cannot be related to Richard's line, it also means the Judges Thomas and John in Ireland c1660 can't be the parent either. Both of them are from London. Irish records were burned in the 1921 uprising, so we don't have much to go on.

Between the Robert Stockton descendants combing PA records, and Richard
Stockton descendants doing the same in New England, the only "proof"
we've found is that there is NO record for Davis Stockton before the 1739
Goochland Co., VA land patent. His brother Robert is on the 1732 Lancaster PA Tax list, but no Davis. That's the brick wall.

Per "Echos of Their Voices" by Carl R. Baldwin - British rule had become too burdensome for them (Davis & Sarah) as they reached maturity. By 1710 they were living in Chester County, PA. Stockton began to prosper as a farmer, although sites in eastern Pennsylvania for an expanding family were becoming difficult to find. He sold out in Chester County and by 1732 was a resident of Pennsylvania's lancaster County. There he met Michael Woods, like himself an immigrant from North Ireland. They became fast friends. During their stay in William Penn's colony, Davis and Sarah had seven children - Richard, Ann, Thomas, Hannah, William, Elizabeth and Samuel. Woods heard of virgin land being opened for settlement in Virginia's newly created county of Goochland. he went there to investigate in 1737m, entering Goochland County from the west, through a gentle defile in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Both the pass and the creek that traversed it became known as Woods's Gap. Before returning to Pennsylvania to fetch his family, Woods obtained title to acreage at the confluence of Woods's Gap and the Mechum Riber, and at the headwaters of Ivy Creek. The Stocktons, and probably other families, joined Woods when he journed back to Goochland County to work his property in 1739. After crossing through Woods's Gap, the Woods family and the Stockton's separated, Woods continuing straight ahead to the land he had staked out. Stockton bore to the left and found his virgin soil along the lower stretches of Ivy Creek, new the modern town of Batesville. For many years residents of the area wondered about the large initials - "D.S." - carved in a tree near Woods's Gap. They apparently were made by the sentimental Stockton to mark the point of parting. In 1739, Stockton obtained title to 400 acres on Ivy Creek and two years later, obviously with his older children in mind, he acquired 800 more at the north and south forks of Mechum Riber. Goochland County was broken up in 1744. The Woods and Stockton families found themselves living in the newly formed Albemarle County. No Stocktons remain in Albemarle, but they left their name on the land. The north fork of Mechum's River is still called Stockton's Creek. In early times the south fork, on which the Stockton's operated the first mill in that part of Virginia, was called Stockton's Mill Creek. Once a defile in the mountains now know as Israel's Gap was called Stockton's Thoroughfare.

Davis Stockton's estate was inventoried on January 2, 1762 Albermarle Co., Virgina as follows:
To 9 hogs, a horse and 4 cattle,
to a bed and furniture and a tea chest,
to a riding coat and a waist coat, to pewter, 2 iron potts,
to knives and forks,
to a parcell of wooden ware,
to two books, to a cow sold, to a churn, to one pound weight of pearls, to a bell and a barrel, to iron ware, to a mare and a colt.
Total 36 pounds 0 shillings 9 pence

11117 The first of the Whitings in Virginia is believed to have been Henry' Whiting, of Gloucester county, who is mentioned in the records of York county Feb., 1671-2, as "Dr. Henry Whiting." On April 16, 1683 "Mr. Henry Whiting" was brought before the Governor and Council and accused that he had in the Session of Assembly, 1682, said "If care was not taken to make a cessation [of tobacco planting] we must all go a plundering." He was suspended from holding any military or civil office until his Majesty's pleasure be known. But the storm soon passed. Henry Whiting, who had in 1680 been a justice for his county, and major of horse in the militia, was appointed to the Council in 1691 and Treasurer of Virgina July 1612. In 1670 he bought suit in the General Court is right of his wife Apphia, widow of Richard Bushrod.. He married secondly, Elizabeth _______, who was living in 1729 (Abingdon Register).

Issue: 2. Major Henry2 and Ann (Beverley) Whiting had Gloucester. On Oct. 30, 1722, at the age of fifteen, he matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford, as "son of Henry Whiting, of Virginia, gentleman." Major Henry2nd of Gloucester County, sheriff 1723, was a Burgess for Gloucester 1740- ch and December 1776.

He married Ann, widow of Henry Whiting, of Gloucester Co., and eldest daughter and co-heiress of Peter Beverley, Esq." Dame Susanna Randolph, widow of Sir John Randolph, of Henrico, said Elizabeth being second daughter of Peter Beverley, of Henrico, eldest son of Elizabeth Randolph, late wife of William Randolph, of Henrico, said Elizabeth being second daughter of the said Peter Beverley, of the 1st part; Thomas Whiting, the elder, and Bayley Seaton, of Potsworth parish, Gloucester, of the 2d part, and Henry Whiting, of Middlesex, gent., of the 3d part; 3. Col. Francis', of Ware Parish, Gloucester sheriff 1718, married Mary (1684-1731-2), daughter of Thomas Perrin (and had issue: Francis\\ John, Elizabeth Mordecai Cooke, and Mary married Warner Thomas", Betsworth Matthew", Perrin (and Gloucester Thomas", (Clerk of Gloucester County). Married He married (1st) Elizabeth: Beverly married John Clayton (1695-1774) (1st) Elizabetii Beverly (161774), botanist, and (Clerk of Gloucester county; 6. Catherine" married John Washington, of "Highgate", Gloucester. Her tomb there was an epitaph stating she was a daughter of Major Henry and Elizabeth Whiting, and also a coat of arms: Washington impaling: on a cliez'ron between three wolves heads. three trefoils. Crest: A wolf's head (?). This must be intended for Whiting; but none of the ordinary books of heraldry assign such a coat to any of the name

11118 The first Oliphant I have a record of who came to the Colonies was William Oliphnt who was a passenger on the "Henry & Francis" in 1685. It is generally believed that he was Duncan's brother. The "Henry & Francis" was a prison ship from Scotland. OLIPHANT, Willliam (I1872)
 
11119 The following information about Walter was taken from the Culpepper Family Website, gen.culpepper.com, citing as a source, Fairfax Harrison, "The Proprietors of the Northern Neck":

She is named in her father's will (1514) 'my daughter Elizabeth Welford,' and referred to in her mother's will (1532) as then dead, by provision for 'the children of Elizabeth, my daughter? the children of Thomas Wylford.' The m. was noted at the Visitation of Kent, 1619, not only in the Culpeper pedigree but in that of the Wylfords (Harl. Pub., x1ii, 53, 61, 104). From the latter it appears that the James Wylford, who witnessed his maternal grandmother's will in 1532, was that outstanding soldier, Sir James Wylford (1516-1550), who distinguished himself at the battle of Pinkie (1547) and subsequently withstood a notable siege at Haddington (D. N. B. re-issue, xxi, 236; Froude, Edward VI, chap. ii).
.
As a family, the Wylfords had several ties with Virginia. One sister of Sir James in. Archbishop Sandys (see her MI. in Morant Essex, ii, 34) and another in. Leonard Digges of Wooton, co. Kent, from whom descended the Edward Digges of Belfield, York County, Virginia, Governor of the colony, 1655-58, whose name was long a synonym for the best Virginia mild tobacco, the 'E Dees' (Va. Mag., xvii, 292). It would be interesting to prove a connection with these Wylfords of that Dr. Robert Wellford of Fredericksburg, of the generation after the American Revolution whose descendants have inter-married with Virginia families. See W. & M. Quar., xi, I; x, 139. 		CULPEPER, Elizabeth (I13322)
 
11120 The following is copied from Stewart Baldwin's website: King's of the Isle of Man:

Note: Harald ("Aralt") is referred to as the grandson of Ivar in AI. CS calls him a son of the grandson of Ivar, i.e., of Sitric ("Aralt mac .h. Imair .i. mac Sitric, R? gall Luimnigh, do marbad la Connachto?bh"). If the account of CS is literally true, and the "grandson" of AI just means descendant in general, then Harald would probably be a brother of Olaf Cuaran, as shown in the table. However, Ivar also had a son named Sitric (d. 896), so if the "mac .h." is a mistake for just ".h." (a common abbreviation for the word "ua" ["grandson'] and its various declensions), then Harald may have been son of this earlier Sitric.

Note 1: The Harald who was father of Godred is not identified in the primary sources, but the king of Limerick of that name seems like the most likely individual. In the list of the kings of Man, NHI (vol. 9, p. 466) suggests that the Harald who was father of Godred might have been Harald of Denmark (son of Gorm the Old), but this seems unlikely. Some would include a certain "Magnus", also a son of Harald, as another king during this period, but it is likely that this is a mistake. The existence of a "Magnus" son of Harald is given only in late sources, and seems to be a error for "mac Arailt" in the earlier sources, in which "mac" became "Maccus" and then "Magnus" in successive corruptions of the records. In further support of this, observe that the personal name "Magnus" is based on the Latin word magnus ("great"), and, if we are to give any credence to the account of Heimskringla, the name derives more directly from Charlemagne ("Carolus Magnus" in Latin), with king Magnus "the Good" of Norway being the first individual of that name. This would seem to exclude the possibility that a Viking bore that name as early as the tenth century. While it is possible that "Maccus" is a corruption of some other Scandinavian name, it seems much more likley that the "mac Arailt" who appears in the annals was the son of Harald about whom we already know, i.e., Goffraid mac Arailt. 		LIMERICK, Harald (Aralt) King Of (I12624)

The only known brother of Gunnor was Arfast/Herfast, of whom we gain what little insight we have from a trial of heretics conducted by Robert II. Arfast testified that he had pretended to join the sect, all the better to denounce them when the time arose. He later donated lands to the monastery of St. Pere, to which he retired. He had at least two sons: Osbern, who was steward to the later Dukes, and was murdered by William de Montgomery while defending the young Duke William; and Ranulf, known from charters. Osbern maried a niece of Richard I (the daughter of his half-brother) and by her was the father of the Conquest baron William Fitz Osbern.

11124 The following is excerpted from a post to SGM, 30 May 2003, by John Ravilious:

1.2a.2 John de Weyland
----------------------------------------
Death: bef 30 Oct 1312

kt., of Blaxhall, Middleton, Swilland[1] and Ashbocking, Suffolk & c.

received from his father in 1287
'...all his Irish lands plus his Suffolk manor of Middleton, evidently in anticipation of his marriage to Mary, the daughter of Richard and Mary de Braose.'

the Irish lands referred to are identified in grant of 1303, cited by Rosie Bevan:
'32 Edw I John de Weyland - free warren in Wyttinesham, and Blakeshall, Clopton manor market and fair in Suffolk. Free warren in Balicover and Kylotheran [Killotheran], co. Waterford, Ireland'

[the charter for the market and fair at Clopton, Suffolk dated 19 Dec 1303, from CChR 1300-26, p. 43

had a grant of free warren in his manor of Blaxhall, 1304

re: Blaxhall and other holdings of Sir Thomas de Weyland, Copinger wrote:
' On Thomas de Weyland abjuring the realm for felony in 1289, the manor was taken into the King's hands [IPM, 18 Edw. I. 51], and a dispute arose as to whether it had escheated or not. Roger Bigot, Earl of Norfolk, claimed it as held of him, and it is said he obtained a verdict by means of a packed jury [R.P. i. 46]. John de Weyland, Thomas's son, however, in proceedings in 1290 recovered the manor from the King and the Earl.
'The proceedings, which are interesting, will be found in the Abbreviation of Pleas in 1290 [18 Edw. I., Trin. 62 (plea), 18 and 19 Edw. I. Mich. 54 (judgment)].' Copinger, V:110

[See also Farrer, Honors and Knights' Fees, II:231 which states,
'...Thomas de Weyland, who abjured the realm for a felony, made an agreement with Sir James son of Gilbert, whereby the said Sir Thomas granted by fine to the said Sir James and his son James the manors of Hedenham and Kelling, saving the advowson of Hedenham for the term of his life, and Sir James granted to the said Sir Thomas and John his son in tail the manor of Blaxall, Suff., to be held of the said Sir James and his heirs, which properties they had previously exchanged by mutual consent.' Farrer cites Cal. of Misc. Inq. i. 421]

The manor of Rouse Hall, Suffok was probably the maritagium of his wife:
'...we meet with a fine levied of the manor in 1288 by John de Weyland and Maria his wife against Richard de Brewse and Alice his wife, and there can be no doubt that by virtue of this the manor became vested in John de Weyland ' [Feet of Fines, 16 Edw. I. 7, as cited by Copinger, Vol. I-Rouse Hall, p. 32]

had a grant of free warren [at Rouse Hall] in 1301, and the grant of a market and fair in the manor in 1304

d. 30 Oct 1312,
'...holding a moiety of Blaxhale Manor and advowson as 1 Fee, Manors of Assch 1/2 Fee, Wantisden, Middilton 1/4 Fee, Clopton, Swynland, Wythisham, Cokefeld, and Brompton in Withernisham 3/4 Fee, Onhous, and Whelwitham, with mess. at Pethage, and leaving s. h. Richard, 22 (Inq.).'

11127 The following Life Sketch appears to have been written by SharonRichards66 with edits by others. It clearly states Eleanor's will but another member thinks it's a hoax and is trying to "prove" that Darnall's children were not by Eleanor, that she had no children after Brooke's death. I'm adding an abstract of the will here at the top in hopes that it can't be ignored.

Eleanor's will was written 31 Mar 1724, probated 21 Feb 1725. (Abstracted from "Maryland Calendar of Wills" page 223.

Children:

Thomas Brooks
Clement Brooks
Mary Witham
Eleanor Diggs
Mary Carroll
Ann Hill
Henry Darnall

This proves four of her Darnall children. Son Philip and daughter Eleanor are not mentioned because of his early deaths.

============================================


In 1658 Brooke married as his second wife Eleanor Hatton (1640? 1725). She was born in Lymm, Cheshire in 1640, and immigrated to Maryland in 1649 with her widowed mother and family. Eleanor's uncle Hon. Thomas Hatton (d. 1654), had been Secretary of the Province.

After the death of Thomas Brooke (1632? 1676), the widowed Eleanor, then only 36, married Col. Henry Darnall (1645? 1711) of "Woodyard" and "Darnall's Delight". Her son Thomas Brooke, Jr. (1660? 1730) became the stepson of Col. Darnall and the half brother of Henry Darnall II, Esq. (d. 1737). Eleanor Brooke Darnall died on February 21, 1725 at "Portland Manor", Anne Arundel Co., Maryland.

Eleanor was the daughter of Richard Hatton, Sr. (1605? 1648) and Margaret (ca. 1610), who married secondly, Capt. Richard Banks, Sr. (ca. 1612-1667). Richard Hatton was born Frodsham, Cheshire.

Elinor was the niece of Thomas Hatton the Secretary of Maryland, who was slain at the battle of the Severn in 1655, and daughter of Richard and Margaret Hatton. She emigrated to St. Mary's County in 1649 with her widowed mother Margaret and brothers William and Richard and sisters Mary, Elizabeth and Barbara.

When she was about twelve in 1654, Luke Gardiner was charged with enticing her to his house "to train her up in the Roman Catholic religion", which was deemed "a great affront to the government, and of very dangerous and destructive consequences in relations to the peace and welfare of the province." Elinor did later convert to Catholicism, and Gardiner married her sister, Elizabeth. Three of Elinor's son's became Jesuit Priests; Robert, Ignatius and Matthew.

Elinor married first, Thomas Brooke, son of Robert Brooke and his first wife Mary Baker in 1660. She married second, Henry Darnall.

Elinor's will was dated March 31, 1724 and probated February 21, 1725. Her bequests to her children were unequal, and some of her children were omitted from her will, possibly indicating favoritism or the possibility of previous gifts. She bequeathed ?10 each to her son Thomas Brooke and her daughter Mary Witham. Her daughter Elinor Diggs received ?100 and Elinor's sons Henry and Philip Darnall Diggs received ?50, being the debt due them from their father (Elinor's son-in-law) William Diggs. Her son Clement's debt of ?460 due to John Hyde & Co., merchants of London, was to be paid before dividing the estate. She gave ?25 to Rev. George Thorold (1670-1742), who had been the Catholic priest at St. Francis Xavier in Newton, St. Mary's Co. from 1723. She also gave ?10 to the poor. The residue of her estate was to be divided between Edward Diggs, and her step-children Mary Carroll, Ann Hill, and Henry Darnall. Henry was named executor.

11128 The following post to SGM, 30 Sep 1998, by John Carmi Parsons, gives some details of Mary:

From: John Carmi Parsons ([email protected])
Subject: Henry VIII's bastards
Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.medieval
Date: 1998/09/30

Henry VIII is said to have fathered by Mary (or Elizabeth) Berkeley, afterwards wife of Thomas Perrott of Istingston and Harroldston, Pembs., a son known as John Perrott (1527?-1592). "Commonly reputed" (_Dict. of Natl Biography_, s.v. "Perrott, sir John") as the king's son, Perrott bore a remarkable resemblance to the king and in later years openly referred to himself as Elizabeth I's brother. He was created K.B. for the coronation of Edward VI in 1547 and, in the official account of Elizabeth I's coronation procession through London, Perrott is the only individual apart from Elizabeth herself who is mentioned by name. He served as Deputy of Ireland for Elizabeth I and in connection with his tenure of that office (not his birth) he was accused of high treason but died in the Tower before he could be convicted (in fact Elizabeth may well have been preparing to pardon him at the time of his death, and later restored his son to his estates).

He married twice:

First to Anne, da. of Sir Thomas Cheyney of Shurland (Kent), and had one son, Sir Thomas Perrot, m. Dorothy Devereux, dau. of Walter, earl of Essex

Second to Jane dau. of Hugh Pruet of Thorny, Devon, and had another son William (d. unm 1597), a dau. Anne m. John Philips, and a dau. Lettice m. first, Roland Lacharn of St Bride's; second, Walter Vaughan also of St Bride's (from which marriage the present viscount St David's descends).

Sir John Perrott also left three natural children:

1-2. Sir James Perrott (1571-1637) by Sibyl Jones of co. Radnor; and also by her a dau. who m. one David Morgan, gent.

3. Elizabeth, dau. of Sir Christopher Hatton (!), he had a dau. Elizabeth m. Hugh Butler of Johnston.

Perrott's living progeny must be innumerable by now. But few biographies of Henry VIII refer to him and many historians are unaware of his existence. Has anyone any confirming evidence for his paternity?

Many historians are also unaware of the existence of at least one other bastard child of Henry VIII, his daughter Etheldreda or Audrey Malte, the child of Joan Dingley or Dyngley, said to have been a royal laundress. Joan Dingley subsequently married a man named Dobson. It appears that the king's tailor, John Malte, was persuaded to recognize Audrey as *his* illegitimate daughter, but that hardly explains the extensive lands Henry granted the girl.

Like John Perrott, Audrey seems to have been born during the years in which Henry's marriage to Katherine of Aragon was deteriorating but before Anne Boleyn became his official mistress and bedfellow--i.e., in the late 1520s. Audrey Malte married in the year of King Henry's death (1547) John Harrington (d. 1582). She was living in 1555 (Cal. Patent Rolls 1555-57, pp. 95-96), but had died without issue by around 1559 when her husband must have remarried (his eldest son by his second wife was born ca 1560). Her widower obtained much of her property after her death. See N. E. McClure, _Letters and Epigrams of Sir John Harington_ (Philadelphia, 1930), p. 64; _Misc. Genealogica et Heraldica_, N.S., iii, p. 18, and iv, p. 191.

So, with the ill-fated Henry fitz Roy, duke of Richmond, Henry VIII had in all as many as 3 bastards. This should bring about some revision of the position taken in Ives' _Anne Boleyn_ that Henry suffered from low fertility. After all, Katherine of Aragon conceived at least 6 times by Henry within 9 years (1509-18); Henry fitz Roy was conceived in 1518 or 1519, for a 7th pregnancy Henry caused within those same 9 years. As above, John Perrott and Audrey Malte were probably both born in the late 1520s after Henry had ceased to cohabit with Katherine of Aragon. Had Henry kept a single mistress in those years, there might have been a more regular pattern of births, but his sexual liaisons at that time seem to have been brief.

Anne Boleyn conceived at least 3 times between December 1532 and late 1535--that is, 3 times in 3 years. Ives' argument that Anne's pregnancies were oddly spaced, that Henry seemed "unable" to make her pregnant for more than a year after she miscarried in 1534, seems strained and tendentious.

Jane Seymour married Henry in May 1536 and must have conceived Edward VI in February 1537, only 9 months after their marriage.

Probably Henry never consummated his marriage with Anne of Cleves.

If Katherine Howard never conceived by Henry, neither did she conceive by a lover, suggesting that (a) she was lucky in this if in little else; (b) her early promiscuity left her barren through abortion, miscarriage or venereal infection; (c) she had access to some kind of efficacious contraceptive lore. Her grandmother's house had clearly been a hothouse of sexual activity among the young girls living there, who would clearly have had every reason to welcome such contraceptive information, and it might later have stood Katherine in good stead. (Or maybe not.)

If Henry VIII did cohabit with Katherine Parr, he may well have suffered from lower fertility levels by that time in his life because of his chronic osteomyelitis, resulting from a tournament injury suffered early in life. Katherine was certainly fertile at this time, for she married her 4th husband, Thomas Seymour, in May 1547 and died in childbirth in September 1548.

11129 The following post-em from Curt Hofemann, [email protected], puts doubt on her name (at minimum) and probably even her existence. I can't say that I disagree (Marmaer is a title, not usually a name).

I've seen this listed this way all over the internet. Also her gf is listed as "Lord of Mormaer", from Paget. To my knowledge Mormaer was a title not a place. So saying Lord of Mormaer is thus redundant. Also "of" or "de" Mormaer is like saying a king's dau was called (?) of King or (?) de King. (And why the French "de" in Scotland in the 900's?)

It is also doubtful that Cr?n?n's dau would ever be titled Mormaer. If she inherited the honor, which is extremely doubtful considering she had brothers, her husband would have carried the title not her. Whether there was a special title for the wife of a Mormaer (eg; an English earl's wife = countess), I am unaware of what it was.

If you find that I am wrong about this, I would be most grateful should you be so kind as to let me know. Thanks.

11132 The following seems to be the source of the controversy of Saby Wyatt and Sabory McGuire:
Zachariah BUNCH - b. about 1751, prob. Louisa Co., VA; d. Apr.-Aug. 1794, Clark Co., KY. Son of Henry BUNCH and Ann.

Zachariah sold land in Bedford Co., VA by deed dated Sep. 1, 1772, making it likely that his first child was born in that county. He appears on the 1784 tax list of Botetourt Co., VA, and on the 1789 tax list of Mercer Co., KY. His will, dated Apr. 3, 1794, Clark Co., KY, and proved by witnesses John SUMMERS, Sr., and Peter DEWITT, Jr. and Sr. on Aug. 26, 1794, and by Saby BUNCH on Aug. 28, 1794. The will names wife Saby, six children, and grandson James CUBBAGE. Son in law John HOLLOWAY was security for the executrix. An inventory of the BUNCH estate was taken Nov. 24, 1794 and recorded Dec. 23, 1794, clearly indicates Zachariah was a livestock farmer, including seven horses, 24 head of cattle, 14 hogs and 7 sheep. Married about 1771.

Sabory - Wife of Zachariah in 1793, and possibly the mother of his children. The following entry appears in a volume of Mercer Co., KY Court Records: 'Indenture from Zachariah Bunch and Sabory Bunch, his wife, to Lawrence McGuire, was acknowledged and dower relinquished and ordered recorded.' This record provides Saby's full given name, and suggests a lead that may uncover her ancestry. Research continues.

Hi Jim

Came across some bits of info from British Kings and Queens by Mark Ashley and thought would pass them on to you.

Cadell ap Einion died abt 1018 - page 335
(It shows he ruled 1005-1018 and then says" Their exact fate [referring to Cadell and his brother Edwin] is unknown, and they may have been killed at this time, for they are not mentioned in any later records" This refers to a challenge by Aeddan ap Blegywyd who succeeded in deposing Cadell and Edwin.) 		EINION, Cadell Ap (I11399)
 
11134 The Heruli were a Germanic people originally from Scandinavia. Theyraided towns in the Roman Empire, scoring their greatest success in AD267, when they captured Byzantium and sacked Greek cities [includingAthens]. Two years later, the eastern Heruli were crushingly defeated bythe Roman emperor Claudius II Gothicus in a battle near Naissus (modernNis, Yugos). From then until the mid-6th century, when they vanishedfrom history, their fortunes varied. They were subjugated first byErmanaric the Goth, then by Huns. Their kingdom on the middle Danube,founded in the late 5th century, fell to the Lombards early in the 6thcentury. [Encyclopaedia Britannica]

The fact that Gratian chose him as his new colleague does not necessarily mean that he enjoyed a particularly good reputation as the best general of his day.

11140 The Life Summary of Henry
When Sir Henry Sinclair II, Baron Of Roslin, 2nd Earl Of Orkney was born in 1389, in Orkney Islands, Orkney, Scotland, United Kingdom, his father, Henry 1st Earl of Orkney Baron of Rosslyn Sinclair, was 37 and his mother, Jean Haliburton, was 39. He married Countess Egidia Jill Douglas of Orkney on 17 February 1404, in Perthshire, Scotland, United Kingdom. They were the parents of at least 4 sons and 6 daughters. He died on 1 February 1422, in Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland, at the age of 33, and was buried in Midlothian, Scotland.


Henry Sinclair, 2nd Earl of Orkney (c. 1375 ? 1420) was a Norwegian nobleman and Planter of Scotland.

He was son of Henry Sinclair, the Earl of Orkney, by his wife Jean, daughter of John Halyburton of Dirleton. Sinclair was one of those captured following the Battle of Homildon Hill in 1402, but released on ransom. He had succeeded his father, de facto, as Earl by 1404; there is no record that he was ever officially installed as Earl, and no certain record that he ever visited his Earldom.

He was one of those who accompanied James Duke of Rothesay on his journey to France aboard the Maryenknyght, which was captured by English pirates off Flamborough Head in 1406. He followed the prince into captivity, but was soon released. Subsequently he was often in England on business connected with the king's imprisonment. He also spent some time in the service of the Duke of Burgundy.
In about 1407 he married Egidia Douglas, daughter of Sir William Douglas of Nithsdale and maternal granddaughter of King Robert II of Scotland.

11145 The Life Summary of John
When John Beaufort 1st Earl of Somerset was born on 29 January 1371, in Kettlethorpe, Lincolnshire, England, his father, John of Gaunt Duke of Lancaster, was 30 and his mother, Katherine de Roet Duchess of Lancaster, was 20. He had at least 3 sons and 2 daughters with Margaret Holland Duchess of Clarence. He registered for military service in 1397. In 1404, at the age of 33, his occupation is listed as lord high constable of England. He died on 16 March 1410, in London, England, at the age of 39, and was buried in Canterbury Cathedral, Canterbury, Kent, England.

John Beaufort, 1st Marquess of Somerset and 1st Marquess of Dorset, later only 1st Earl of Somerset, KG (c. 1373-16 March 1410) was an English nobleman and politician. He was the first of the four children of John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster, and his mistress Katherine Swynford, whom he married in 1396. Beaufort's surname probably reflects his father's lordship of Beaufort in Champagne, France.

The Beaufort children were declared legitimate twice by parliament during the reign of King Richard II of England, in 1390 and 1397, as well as by Pope Boniface IX in September 1396. Even though they were the grandchildren of Edward III and next in the line of succession after their father's legitimate children by his first two wives, the Beauforts were barred from succession to the throne by their half-brother Henry IV.

Early life
Between May and September 1390, Beaufort saw military service in North Africa in the Barbary Crusade led by Louis II, Duke of Bourbon. In 1394, he was in Lithuania serving with the Teutonic Knights.

John was created Earl of Somerset on 10 February 1397, just a few days after the legitimation of the Beaufort children was recognized by Parliament. The same month, he was also appointed Admiral of the Irish fleet, as well as Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports. In May, his admiralty was extended to include the northern fleet. That summer, the new earl became one of the noblemen who helped Richard II free himself from the power of the Lords Appellant. As a reward, he was created Marquess of Somerset and Marquess of Dorset on 29 September, and sometime later that year he was made a Knight of the Garter and appointed Lieutenant of Aquitaine. In addition, two days before his elevation as a Marquess he married the king's niece, Margaret Holland, sister of Thomas Holland, 1st Duke of Surrey, another of the counter-appellants. John remained in the king's favour even after his older half-brother Henry Bolingbroke (later Henry IV) was banished from England in 1398.

Later career
After Richard II was deposed by Henry Bolingbroke in 1399, the new king rescinded the titles that had been given to the counter-appellants, and thus John Beaufort became merely Earl of Somerset again. Nevertheless, he proved loyal to his half-brother's reign, serving in various military commands and on some important diplomatic missions. It was Beaufort who was given the confiscated estates of the Welsh rebel leader Owain Glyndwr in 1400, although he would not have been able to take possession of these estates unless he had lived until after 1415. In 1404, he was named Constable of England.

Family
John Beaufort and his wife Margaret Holland, the daughter of Thomas Holland, 2nd Earl of Kent and Alice FitzAlan, had six children. His granddaughter Lady Margaret Beaufort married Edmund Tudor, 1st Earl of Richmond, the son of Dowager Queen Catherine of Valois by Owen Tudor.

Somerset died in the Hospital of St Katharine's by the Tower. He was buried in St Michael's Chapel in Canterbury Cathedral.

His children included the following:

1.) Henry Beaufort, 2nd Earl of Somerset (1401-25 November 1418)

2.) John Beaufort, 1st Duke of Somerset (baptized 25 March 1404-27 May 1444), father of Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond and Derby, grandfather of King Henry VII of England

2.) Joan Beaufort, Queen of Scotland (1404-15 July 1445) married James I, King of Scots.

5.) Thomas Beaufort, Count of Perche (1405-3 October 1431)

6) Edmund Beaufort, 2nd Duke of Somerset (1406-22 May 1455)

7.) Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Devon (1409-1449) married Thomas de Courtenay, 13th Earl of Devon.

Titles, styles, honours and arms
Arms
As a legitimated grandson of the sovereign, Beaufort bore the arms of the kingdom, differenced by a bordure gobony argent and azure.

The family emblem featuring the portcullis was shown on the reverse of British pennies minted between 1971 and 2008.

According to genealogists, a few of Beaufort's notable descendants include British actor Benedict Cumberbatch and codebreaker Alan Turing. Coincidentally, Cumberbatch portrayed Turing in the film The Imitation Game.

Wikitree:
It is suggested here that Margaret was born about 1410 daughter to Alexander Seaton of Gordon. (note that a generation earlier John Ogilvy of Inverquharity married Marion Seaton a daughter of Willaim Seaton of Gordon.)
Margaret is known only as Margaret, Lady Ogilvy, Countess of Moray. It thus appears that she married firstly to James Dunbar, earl of Moray who died about 10 Aug 1430. He was released as a hostage for King James I in 1427 and probably at the time he succeeded to the earldom and married on his return. It is said by MacFarlane but without confirmation that the earl married Katherine or Janet a daughter of Alexander Seaton of Gordon. It thus appears probable that Margaret was that widowed Countess.
By James Dunbar margaret had two daughters:
1. Elizabeth, (or Mary or Agnes0 who married before 26 April 1442, to Archibald Douglas, who was created Earl of Moray.
2. Janet, married, between 1442 and 1446, to James,second Lord Crichton.

After the death of her first husband, Margaret, Countess of Moray married Sir John Ogilvy of Lintrathen about 1431.

Stewart, John 2nd Lord of Lorne (Sir ) [929] 4 5 6

Born: 1400 1 Marriage (1): MacDougall, dau. [15692] circa 1429 in Argyll, Scotland 1 Marriage (2): MacLaren, dau. [3929] in 1463 2 3 Died: 20 December 1463, Dunstaffnage, Argyll, Scotland at age 63 1 7
Cause of his death was killed by a renegade MacDougall in the pay of the English.
Another name for John was Stewart, John "Mourach" of Lorne.
General Notes:
1 - On the murder of John, the second Stewart Lord of Lorne, in 1463 by a renegade MacDougall in the pay of the English, the Lordship and castle passed to his brother Sir Walter. There was a dispute, since the murdered man was on his way to be married to his mistress so as to legitimate his natural son. The last Stewart Lord of Lorne is said to have died on the threshold while reciting his marriage vows. Local sympathy seemingly favored the boy and for six years there was conflict in Lorne. Sir Walter, perhaps finding the lands more trouble than they were worth, exchanged the Lordship with Colin Earl of Argyll for richer and more peaceful lands in eastern Scotland. The exchange was ratified by royal charter in 1470.

2 - Tradition tell us that in 1445, while returning to his seat at Dunstaffnage castle from the great cattle tryst at Crieff, Sir John met and fell in love with the daughter of MacLaren of Ardvech. Although married, he began an affaire with his new love which one year later produced a son. He was christened Dugald and was to be the first Chief of the Stewarts of Appin. After the death of his first wife, Sir John waited, for reasons we are unaware of today, for 5 years until setting up the marriage between himself and Dugald's mother, but it may have had something to do with the politics of the day. In 1463, Sir John set a wedding date and sent for Dugald and his mother to come to Dunstaffnage. Unknown to Sir John, there was a plot to kill the Lord of Lorne. It is not fully known, but it is thought to have been set up by the Lord of the Isles who was in a power struggle with the King of Scots, and who saw it as being in his best interest to neutralize this powerful and loyal representative of the King in the west highlands. The other plotters, which some feel included Colin Campbell, Lord Argyll, Sir John's son-in-law, were primarily represented by Alan MacCoul, the illegitimate grandson of an earlier MacDougall Chief. As the lightly armed wedding party made it's way from Dunstaffnage to the small chapel located approximately 180 yards from the castle walls, they were attacked by a superior force lead by Alan MacCoul. Although better armed, MacCoul's force was defeated, but not before mortally wounding Lord of Lorn. Sir John was rushed into the chapel and MacCoul and his henchmen ran into and occupied the deserted Dunstaffnage. With his last breath Sir John married Dugald's mother, legitimizing him and making him the de jure Lord of Lorne. After receiving the last rites, Sir John expired and a new chapter in west highland history was opened. 8

John married dau. MacDougall [15692] [MRIN: 1529] circa 1429 in Argyllshire, Scotland.1 (dau. MacDougall [15692] was born circa 1412 in Argyll, Scotland.)

John possibly married dau. MacLaren [3929] [MRIN: 2451], daughter of ?? MacLaren of Ardveich [22529], in 1463.2 3

11149 The Life Summary of Mariota
When Mariota Leslie Countess of Ross was born about 1370, in Dundonald, Ayrshire, Scotland, her father, Walter Leslie Earl of Ross, was 49 and her mother, Euphemia Ross, was 40. She married Donald MacDonald 8th Lord of the Isles about 1391, in Harlaw, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, United Kingdom. They were the parents of at least 2 sons and 2 daughters. She died in 1440, in Dingwall, Ross and Cromarty, Scotland, United Kingdom, at the age of 70.

From Wikipedia:

Mariota, Countess of Ross
Born:Scotland
Died:1440, Scotland
Spouse:Donald of Islay, Lord of the Isles
House:Clan Donald
Father:Walter Leslie, Lord of Ross
Mother:Euphemia I, Countess of Ross

Mariota, Countess of Ross (Mairead, also called Mary and Margaret; died 1440) was the daughter of Euphemia I, Countess of Ross and her husband, the crusading war-hero Walter Leslie, Lord of Ross. Upon the death of her brother, Alexander Leslie, Earl of Ross, she became the heir-presumptive of her niece Euphemia II, Countess of Ross although her husband Domhnall of Islay, Lord of the Isles pressed Mariota's superior claim to the earldom.

Domhnall attempted to gain control of the earldom, and sometime after 1405 but before 1411, Domhnall gained control of Dingwall Castle. In the year after the death of the nominal king Robert III of Scotland (1406), in August 1407, Domhnall sent emissaries to England to the heir of the throne, the captive James Stewart. King Henry IV of England sent his own emissaries the following year to negotiate an alliance against Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, the Guardian of Scotland who was controlling Euphemia and the earldom.

With control over the principal seat of the earldom of Ross and support of the exiled heir to the Scottish throne, in 1411 Domhnall felt strong enough to march against Albany's main northern ally, Alexander Stewart, Earl of Mar. At the Battle of Harlaw Domhnall failed to inflict a decisive victory, and withdrew back to the western highlands. In the aftermath, Albany was able to retake Dingwall and seize control of Easter Ross. In 1415, Euphemia was persuaded by Albany to resign the earldom to his own second son, John Stewart, Earl of Buchan. This action was challenged by Domhnall of Islay, who continued to claim the earldom on behalf of Mariota.

After the return of King James the latter destroyed the power of the Albany Stewarts, executing the Albany's son and successor Murdoch Stewart, Duke of Albany. Domhnall had died in 1423, but Mariota continued to enjoy the support of his successor and her own son, Alexander. Alexander took over her claims, and in 1437 her son was recognized as earl by the king. She died in 1440. She had two known children, Alexander and Mariota.

DONALD, LORD OF THE ISLES; AND MARGARET LESLIE, Tenth Countess of Ross.

Lady Margaret Leslie, daughter of Walter Leslie, Earl of Ross, by his wife Euphemia, Countess of Ross, married Donald, Lord of the Isles. When Lady Margaret's niece, Euphemia, Countess of Ross, daughter of her deceased brother, Alexander, Earl of Ross, had declared her intention to take the veil, Donald of the Isles asserted his claim to the earldom of Ross as next heir, in right of his wife, in conformity with the entail made by William, Earl of Ross, her grandfather, in 1370. He disputed the destination made by his wife's niece Euphemia, as being made in prejudice to his wife, who was the lawful heir to the earldom. The Duke of Albany, and his son John Stewart, Earl of Buchan, wishing to keep what they had got, insisted that the resignation of the Countess Euphemia was legal, and they declared that they would maintain it. Whereon Donald resolved to assert his right by force of arms; and he so far took possession that he held the castle of Dingwall, the residence of the Earls of Ross. He raised an army of 10,000 men in the Hebrides and Ross, and marched through Moray into the Garioch, on Mar, intending, it is said, to attack the city of Aberdeen.

Alexander Stewart, Earl of Mar and Lord of the Garioch, the king's lieutenant in the North, collected a body of troops in haste, and met the invader at Harlaw, on the river Urie, about eighteen miles north-west of the city of Aberdeen, 24th July 1411. Although Mar's army was inferior in number, the battle was most obstinately contested, with great loss on both sides. It proved indecisive, however. Both parties claimed the victory. On the side of Donald, the chiefs of Macintosh and Maclean fell, with about 900 men ; Mar lost 500 men, besides many persons of rank. Sir Andrew de Leslie, third Baron of Balquhain, who commanded Mar's horse, lost six sons in the battle.

Donald of the Isles was so much weakened by this sanguinary battle, that he was forced to retire, and the Duke of Albany, Regent of the kingdom, shortly afterwards proceeded with a force to the north, and took the castle of Dingwall; and in the following year, 1412, he invaded Donald's territories, and obliged him to abandon his pretensions to the earldom of Ross, and to give hostages for his future observance of peace.

John Stewart, Earl of Buchan, was now styled Earl of Ross, and he held the title till his death at the battle of Verneil, in Normandy, 17th August 1424; and his brother, Sir Robert Stewart, being also killed in the same battle, and neither of them leaving any male issue, the earldom of Ross, in virtue of the limitation in the charter granted to them by their father, the Regent, in 1415, devolved on the crown.

It would appear that although the Stewarts got forcible possession of the earldom of Ross, yet Lady Margaret Leslie did not forego her just claims, and she retained at least the title of Countess of Ross, as is shown by the following document: ?

"John Byschop of Ross, Dame Margaret of the Ile, Lady of the Yles and of Ross, Huchen Fraser, Lord of Lovat, John Urchard, Lord of Crommathy, Donald of Kalder, Thayne of that like, with many others, till all and sundry, &c. We mak knowyn, truche thir presents that in August 16 year 1420, in the kyrk yharde of Rosmarkyn, compeart Willyam the Grame, son and heyr umquhile of Henry the Grame, in presence of us before a nobil Lord and a michty Thomas Erie of Murreff, his ovyr Lord of the barony of Kerdale, resyngnan over of his auyn fre will in til handes of the sayde Lord the Erie the sayde all his lands of the barony of Kerdale Scheradom of Inverness, and all other lands, to be gyffyn to the sayde Willyam the Grame and his heyris-male, and faylzand them, to Willyam the Hay. Upon the quhylkes thyngis the sayde Willyam the Grame and Willyam the Hay requirit us in witnesyng by our letters testimonial and our seals. The quhilk we grawntit at the place and day before sayde."

Lady Margaret Leslie, Countess of Ross, had by her husband, Donald, Lord of the Isles, issue ?

I. Alexander, who succeeded as Lord of the Isles, and assumed the title of Earl of Ross; II. Mariot, married to Alexander Sutherland. She and her husband, Alexander Sutherland, in 1429, got a grant of the lands of Duchall from her brother, Alexander, Lord of the Isles and Earl of Ross.
Donald, Lord of the Isles, died before 1427. Margaret, Countess of Ross, and her son, Alexander, Lord of the Isles, were arrested by King James I. when he held a parliament at Inverness, in 1427. The Lord of the Isles was soon released, but his mother, the Countess of Ross, was detained a prisoner, and died about 1429. ----------------------------------------------- Margaret (Mariota) Leslie ?
