12503 While various researchers have hypothesized that Elizabeth (unknown) maiden name Taliaferro, Bond or Giles, no known document confirms such a hypothesis. I will only use Taliaferro as "most likely" - unproven.

Her husband John Parker 1700-1760's will lists his wife as 'Elizabeth' but she was the step-mother to his children. John Parker 1700-1760's 1st wife was Catherine Pearson. See link to 'Origins of John Parker 1700-1760 on the SOURCE tab for the PROOF.

The Hopewell Township, Washington, PA 1792 'Will' of Thomas McGuire states that his wife's name was Mary Randles and that prior to moving to Hopewell he lived in Hampshire Co., VA. I've only seen records for one Thomas McGuire in Hampshire Co., VA. and his 2nd wife was Elizabeth Parker (*) (died in 1786), the widow of John Parker who died in Nov 1760.

A 1765 Hampshire Co., VA land indenture (attached in Sources) states that "Thomas McGuire and his wife Elizabeth ( ) Parker, relic of John Parker' transfer land to John Parker's children. Nathaniel, Robert, Aaron, Richard, Elizabeth Nalles, and Catharine Foreman that had belonged to John Parker their father.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
* - Note" IF the estimated birth year for Ellizabeth ( ) Parker, relic of John Parker is correct, then she would have been about 56 years of age when she married Thomas McGuire and thus statistically unlikely to have borne any children during her marriage to Thomas McGuire.

12508 Widow of John Bouton, possibly Alice Kellogg. Surname from NEHGR, 1889 [see Marvin file].

From: "Evelyn Beran" Old-To: Subject: Re: [CTFAIRFI-L] Gregory, Burt and Marvin Date: Fri, 6 Aug 1999 15:00:38 -0500

Whether Matthew Marvin's second wife, Alice, was a KELLOGG is also open to question. If anyone can supply proof of her identity, it would be most welcome. The most reliable sources do not give Alice's maiden name. They agree that she married (1) before 1636 John Bouton, and married (2) about 1645 Matthew Marvin as his second wife.

There was considerable early confusion over Alice's identity. The Genealogy of the Marvin Family published in NEHGR 16:250 said Matthew Marvin married (2) in Norwalk "Mrs. Alice Kellogg" and the Memorial History of Hartford County, Conn on p. 251 repeated this error. Early genealogies confused the John Bouton who married Alice with their son John Bouton who married Matthew Marvin's daughter Abigail. Some called Alice the daughter of John Bowton rather than his widow. The fact that she was John's widow is proved by her own will, as well as that of her second husband. These were published by William Marvin in NEHGR 51:330-334, correcting the earlier errors.

Willis Boughton, in his sequel to the error-filled genealogy by James Boughton, says that Alice PRATT married John Bouton in England and came to Boston with him on the ship Assurance in 1635. Later he writes that Alice may have been Alice Kellogg, however. The Pratt Directory" by Jayne Pratt Lovelace calls her "Alice Pratt."

Some sources call her Alice KELLOGG. In TAG 11:114-118 Part 1, William Jones notes that there are errors in James Bouton's Bouton-Boughton genealogy, and mentions an excellent account in C. A. Hoppin's "Washington Ancestry" 3:489-514. In Part 2 of the same article, Donald L. Jacobus says the most serious mistakes in James Bouton's genealogy regarding the first two John Boutons were corrected in an article by William Marvin in NEHGR 51 (1897), and cites as "substantially correct" his own account in "Families of of Old Fairfield", and the Hoppin "Washington Ancestry" (1932) likewise, with the exception of the wives of John3 and John4 Bouton, which Jacobus then corrects. In summary, Jacobus lists the four John Bouton's and their wives, calling the wife of John1 Bouton "Alice __", but noting "according to the statements of some of the earlier compilers, she was a Mrs. Alice Kellogg; that supposition has been disproved, and according to the "Washington Ancestry" she was born a Kellogg. While that is possible, no evidence for her maiden name has been seen by the present writer."

Charles Nelson Hickok in his Hickok Genealogy, says that John Bouton, age 20, came on the Assurance from Gravesend to Boston late in 1635. "He appears as a single man, left Boston at once for Newtown, later renamed Hartford, on the Connecticut River. He was too young to be an important man in this migration to Hartford and as he died there in less than nine years after arriving he did not take a prominent part in anything of a public nature. He was serviced to another, doubtless associated at Hartford with Nathaniel Kellogg. It is fairly claimed John Bowton married Alice Kellogg in 1636/7, she was his only wife and he her first husband. (cites Kelloggs in Old World and New, p. 31.)
... "When she married (1) about 1636, John Bowton, she was about 26 years old. Doubtless she came to New England 1635/6 with Nathaniel Kellogg, but it is not clear whether she was his sister, niece, cousin, or granddaughter of William and Alice Kellogg of Saffron Walden, Essex."

I have the will of Nathaniel Kellogg, who died without issue, and left bequests to brothers and sisters -- no bequest to Alice, so I assume that means she was not his sister. My Kellogg information concentrates on Martin Kellogg, and does not give enough information on the descendants of his brothers and sisters to identify Alice's parents if she was, indeed, a granddaughter of William and Alice Kellogg.

12523 Wikipedia

William de Courcy was an Anglo-Norman nobleman and baron.

William was the son of William de Courcy and his wife Emma de Falaise.[1] Through his mother, William inherited the barony of Stogursey in Somerset, as his mother was the sole heir of William de Falaise, the lord of Stogursey in Domesday Book.[2] William and Emma were also the parents of two other sons: Richard and Robert.[1]

William married Avice, the daughter and coheir of William Meschin,[1] and Cecily de Rumilly.[2] The marriage took place around 1125.[1]

William, along with his brother Robert, confirmed the gift of his father of the advowson of the church of Nuneham Courtenay in Oxfordshire to Abingdon Abbey.[3] This reconfirmation of his father's grant was recorded in the abbey's chronicle, the Historia Ecclesie Abbendonensis,[1] like the original grant had been. William then gave further lands to the abbey, including a meadow named "cow mead" and a pasture large enough for 300 sheep, 8 oxen and 10 cows.[3]

William died before 1130.[1] William's widow married William Paynel, son of Fulk Paynel, as his second wife.[4] His heir was his son William de Courcy. Another son was Robert, who was steward to King Stephen of England.[5] But Marjorie Chibnall thinks this Robert is a cousin, from the Norman branch.[6] 		DE COURCY, William (I594767098)
 
12524 Wikipedia

William III (913 – 3 April 963), called Towhead (French: Tête d'étoupe, Latin: Caput Stupe) from the colour of his hair, was the "Count of the Duchy of Aquitaine" from 959 and Duke of Aquitaine from 962 to his death. He was also the Count of Poitou (as William I) from 935 and Count of Auvergne from 950. The primary sources for his reign are Ademar of Chabannes, Dudo of Saint-Quentin, and William of Jumièges.

William was son of Ebalus Manzer[1] and Emilienne. He was born in Poitiers. He claimed the Duchy of Aquitaine from his father's death, but the royal chancery did not recognise his ducal title until the year before his own death.

Shortly after the death of King Rudolph in 936, he was constrained to cede some land to Hugh the Great by Louis IV. He did it with grace, but his relationship with Hugh thenceforward deteriorated. In 950, Hugh was reconciled with Louis and granted the duchies of Burgundy and Aquitaine. He tried to conquer Aquitaine with Louis's assistance, but William defeated them. Lothair, Louis's successor, feared the power of William. In August 955 he joined Hugh to besiege Poitiers, which resisted successfully. William, however, gave battle and was routed.

After the death of Hugh, his son Hugh Capet was named duke of Aquitaine, but he never tried to take up his fief, as William reconciled with Lothair.

He was given the abbey of Saint-Hilaire-le-Grand, which remained in his house after his death. He also built a library in the palace of Poitiers.

Family background, marriage and issue

His father was duke Ebles Manzer, who already was a man in his middle years when he was born in about 913. According to the chronicle of Ademar de Chabannes, William's wife was Geirlaug (French: Gerloc, also known as Adèle), a daughter of Rollo of Normandy. The less reliable Dudo of Saint-Quentin has William rather than Ebles marrying Gerloc, perhaps about 936, in a match that may have been arranged by William I of Normandy.

With Gerloc, he had at least one child whose filiation is clearly attested:

William, his successor in Aquitaine. He abdicated to the abbey of Saint-Cyprien in Poitiers and left the government to his son.
Many[who?] genealogies accept the high likelihood[vague] that they also had a daughter:

Adelaide, who married Hugh Capet
But her parentage is not reliably documented of their era and is regarded only as a good possibility by usual modern genealogical literature.

Wilhelm Werghaupt (lat. Caput stupe, frz. Tête d'Etoupe; * um 900; † 3. April 963) war als Wilhelm III. Herzog von Aquitanien und als Wilhelm I. Graf von Poitou, Limoges und Auvergne aus der Familie der Ramnulfiden.

Wilhelm war der älteste Sohn von Ebalus Mancer, dem er nach dessen Tod 934 im Poitou nachfolgte. Wilhelm war ein Feind der Robertiner, deren Oberhaupt Hugo Magnus sich 936 Poitiers bemächtigte. Unter Ausnutzung des Konfliktes Hugos mit König Ludwig IV. dem Überseeischen konnte Wilhelm die Stadt 938 zurückerobern. 942 wurde er vom König zum Laienabt der Abtei von St. Hilaire ernannt, die seither im Besitz der Familie blieb.

Seinen vorrangigsten Kampf führte Wilhelm gegen den Grafen Raimund Pons von Toulouse, der ihm die Herrschaft über die Auvergne streitig machte. Nach dem Tod König Ludwigs IV. (954) huldigte ihm aber die Noblesse der Auvergne, 955 erlangte er die Herrschaft über die Grafschaft Limoges. Seine Position als Herzog von Aquitanien war jedoch umstritten: Einerseits durch die Grafen von Toulouse, die 935 das Herzogtum von König Rudolf verliehen bekamen, und vor allem durch Hugo Magnus, der seinen dominierenden Einfluss auf König Lothar geltend machte und sich von diesem mit dem aquitanischen Herzogtum belehnen ließ. 955 zog Hugo Magnus mit einem königlichen Heer vor Poitiers und schlug Wilhelm in einer Feldschlacht. Poitiers konnte aber erfolgreich verteidigt werden. 956 starb Hugo Magnus und obwohl dessen Sohn Hugo Capet die Politik des Vaters aufnahm, sollte die Herrschaft Wilhelms in Aquitanien nicht mehr gefährdet werden. Erst jetzt war er unbestrittener „Herzog der Aquitanier".

Kurz vor seinem Tod wurde Wilhelm Mönch in der Abtei von Saint-Cyprien, wo er auch bestattet wurde.

Wilhelm war seit 935 mit Gerloc-Adele († nach 969) verheiratet, einer Tochter des normannischen Grafen Rollo. Sie hatten zwei Kinder:

Wilhelm Eisenarm (* um 937; † 995/996), Graf von Poitou (Wilhelm II.) und Herzog von Aquitanien (Wilhelm IV.)
Adelheid (Aelis) (* wohl 950; † 1004) 8 im Sommer 968 mit Hugo Capet, Herzog von Franzien und ab 987 König von Frankreich 		William (Guillaume) III Duke Of Aquitaine (I8502)

Sir Edward Peyton, 2nd Baronet (died April 1657) was an English landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1621 and 1629. He fought for the Parliamentary cause in the English Civil War.

Biography
Peyton was the eldest son of Sir John Peyton, 1st Baronet of Isleham and his wife Alice Osborne, daughter of Sir Edward Osborne, Lord Mayor of London.[1] He was educated at Bury School. He was knighted at Whitehall on 18 March 1611. On 16 August 1611, he was admitted to Gray's Inn.

He succeeded to the baronetcy and estates on the death of his father in December 1616. He was also owner of Great Bradley, Suffolk. In 1618 he was awarded MA by the University of Cambridge.[2]

In 1621, Peyton was elected Member of Parliament for Cambridgeshire. He was High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire from 1622 to 1623. In 1625 he was re-elected MP for Cambridgeshire and was returned again in 1626.[3] He took an active part in the Civil War on the Parliamentary side, but so impoverished himself that he had to sell Isleham.[1]
Peyton died at Wicken, Cambridgeshire and was buried at St Clement Danes in London.[1]

Family
Peyton married firstly on 24 April 1604, at Streatham, Surrey, Martha Livesey, daughter of Robert Livesey, of Tooting, Surrey. She died in 1613 and he married secondly on 6 June 1614, at St Bartholomew-the-Less, London, Jane Thimblethorpe, widow of Sir Henry Thimblethorpe, and daughter of Sir James Calthorpe, of Cockthorpe, Norfolk. He married thirdly on 13 December 1638 at St. James', Clerkenwell, Dorothy Minshaw. His widow married Rev. Edward Lowe, Vicar of Brighthelmstead, Sussex, who survived her. Peyton was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son by his first wife .[1]

12616.0 Sir EDWARD PEYTON, 2nd Baronet of Isleham
He was born about 1578 in Isleham, Cambridgeshire, England. He was educated at Cambridgeand trained in law at Gray's Inn and was a great scholar. He was knighted at Whitehall on 4 February 1610, and he succeeded his father to the baronetcy in December 1616.(785 vol 1:71)

Jane must have died because Edward later married Dorothy Minshaw, maybe a widow, daughter of Edward Ball of Stockwell, Surrey. They had at least 2 children:(785 vol 1:71)

.1 EDWARD
.2 JOSEPH

Edward represented Cambridgeshire in Parliament beginning in 1621, during the reign of James I, and serving until 1628, in the reign of Charles I. Sir Edward clashed vehemently with the Stuarts and their Devine Right of Kings position. Charles I tried to have him tried for treason and only his powerfull position in Parliament saved him. He was a Puritan supporter of his boyhood friend Oliver Cromwell and wrote religious pamphlets attacking the immorality of the Stuart court. He was, however, always against dictatorship. The English Civil War started in 1641causing great turmoil in the land. In the ensuing cataclysm he lost his fortune, including having to sell Isleham by 1642. He was later regared by Cromwell as disaffected, suffering financially from both sides during the war.(785 vol 1:71,76)

Edward died a broken man in 1657 and is buried at Wicken, Cambridgeshire.(785 vol.1:71)

12526 Wikipedia - The House of Courtenay

House of Courtenay is located in France

Location of Courtenay in the Gâtinais (Loiret), France. It is situated about 65 miles SE of Paris and was thus well within the control of the French kings and had no connection to any west-coast French possessions of the English kings (i.e. Normandy, Anjou, Aquitaine etc.), from which originated most early continental incomers to England. In this respect the English Courtenay family is unusual.
The House of Courtenay was a medieval noble house, with branches in France, England and the Holy Land.

Origin
The house was founded by Athon, the first lord of Courtenay in France. Athon took advantage of the succession crisis in the Duchy of Burgundy between Otto-William, Duke of Burgundy and Robert II of France to capture a piece of land for himself, where he established his own seigneury (lordship), taking his surname from the town he founded and fortified.

Athon was succeeded by his son Joscelin, who had three sons: Miles, who was Lord of Courtenay after him; Joscelin, who joined the First Crusade and became Count of Edessa; and Geoffrey, who also fought in the Holy land and died there.[1]

In the 12th century, Reginald de Courtenay (d.1190), son of Milo de Courtenay (d.1127), quarrelled with King Louis VII of France and moved to England: His French lands were forfeit, and passed, with his daughter Elizabeth, to Louis' brother Peter, who took the name "Peter de Courtenay".

The Crusader house of Courtenay
Joscelin de Courtenay arrived in Outremer with the third wave of the First Crusade and proved himself capable, becoming in turn Lord of Turbessel, Prince of Galilee,[2] and (in 1118) Count of Edessa.[3] He was succeeded in 1131 by his son, Joscelin II, but the county was lost in 1144, and Jos died in captivity in 1159. His son, Joscelin III, was the titular Count, while his sister, Agnes, became Queen of Jerusalem by marriage to King Amalric and was mother to two monarchs, Baldwin IV and Sibylla. Joscelin III died in the 1190s, succeeded by two daughters; his last property was passed by them to the Teutonic Order.

The English House of Courtenay
Reginald de Courtenay's grandson, Robert de Courtenay (d.1242), feudal baron of Okehampton, Devon, in right of his mother Hawise de Curcy (d.1219),[4] married Mary de Redvers, daughter and heiress of William de Redvers, 5th Earl of Devon (d.1217). Robert's great-grandson, Hugh de Courtenay, 9th Earl of Devon (d.1340), inherited the Earldom of Devon in 1335 on the extinction of the male line of the de Redvers family. The title was subsequently recreated for Hugh de Courtenay, nephew of Hugh Despenser the Elder. The family is one of the most ancient in England, currently headed by Charles Courtenay, 19th Earl of Devon.

The Capetian House of Courtenay
See also: Houses of Montlhéry and Le Puiset
Reginald de Courtenay's daughter, Elizabeth, was given in marriage, together with his forfeited French lands, by the French Capetian King Louis VII with whom he had quarreled, to his youngest brother Peter of France (d.1183), henceforth known as Peter I of Courtenay. Peter and Elizabeth's descendants were members of the Capetian House of Courtenay, a cadet branch of the House of Capet, the French Royal House. Their descendants acquired through marriage the County of Namur and the Latin Empire of Constantinople. This branch became extinct in the male line in 1733, with the name Courtenay passing on to the Bauffremont family.

Claim to French royal status
The House of Bourbon, which acquired the French throne with the accession of Henry IV of France in 1589, was another cadet branch of the Capetian dynasty. Under the Salic law, males descended in male line from Hugh Capet are princes of the blood— i.e., they have the right to succeed to the French throne in the event that the male line of the royal family and of more senior princes die out. Hence, the then-impoverished Capetian House of Courtenay, being agnatic descendants of Louis VI of France, sought to be acknowledged as "princes du sang" (Princes of the Blood Royal) and "cousins to the king", two titles normally reserved for the members of the royal family and prized for the seats at the Royal Council and the Parliament of Paris that they conferred upon its holders.

Moreover, the Bourbons had difficulty producing surviving male dynasts in quantity until the mid-17th century. The Capetian Courtenays were, after the Bourbons, the most senior surviving agnatic branch of the House of Capet, and under strict application of Salic law the Crown would pass to them should the Bourbons fall extinct.

Three Bourbon kings in a row— Henry IV, Louis XIII and Louis XIV— turned down their petitions. That the Bourbon monarchs confined the French royalty to the descendants of Louis IX is evidenced by the Treaty of Montmartre (1662) which named the non-Capetian House of Lorraine as the next in line to the French throne after the Bourbons, thus bypassing the Courtenay branch, a Capetian family. Although the Courtenays protested against this clause, their claims to the princely title were never acknowledged by the Paris Court of Accounts.

The last male member of the French Courtenays died in 1733. His niece married the marquis de Bauffremont, and their descendants assumed the title of "Prince de Courtenay" with dubious validity, which they bear to this day. The marquis de Bauffremont was made on 8 June 1757 Prince of the Holy Roman Empire (inheritable by all male-line descendants); this title was recognised in France. Bauffremont-Courtenay are also princes of Carency and dukes of Bauffremont. 		DE COURTENAY, Athon de Châteaurenard (I594767121)

Patrick Gray, 4th Lord Gray (c. 1518 -1584) was a Scottish landowner and Sheriff of Angus, active during the war of the Rough Wooing as a supporter of the Scottish Reformation.
Family:
Patrick Gray was the son of Egidia Mercer and Gilbert Gray of Buttergask (half-brother of Patrick Gray, 3rd Lord Gray), and the grandson of Andrew Gray, 2nd Lord Gray (d. 1514). Patrick became Lord Gray in April 1541, after the death of his uncle. In order to succeed to the Gray lands, as heir of his grandfather, he had to pay 10,000 marks to the Treasury of King James V of Scotland, and was confirmed Lord Gray on 14 September 1542. He was still paying James Hamilton, Regent Arran, in 1543.
Patrick Gray firstly married Marion Ogilvy in 1537. Their son was Patrick Gray, 5th Lord Gray (1538– 1608). They also had another son, James Gray, who was the second husband of Elizabeth Bethune, a mistress of King James V of Scotland. Patrick secondly married Margaret Ker, daughter of Sir Walter Ker of Cessford, in 1557. The chief residence of the Grays was Fowlis Castle, near Dundee, Scotland, and they also lived as well at Castle Huntly, nearby. In 1583, an English list of the Scottish nobility described Patrick with an interesting but inaccurate English pedigree;
"an aged man, esteemed to come of English bloode, that came into Scotlande with the Lady Somerset, wyef to King James the Firste. In religion suspected; of no greate power or frendes. His eldest sonne married th'erle of Gowrie's father's sister, and his other the daughter of Lord Glamis."
Rough Wooing:
Lord Gray was captured by the English at the Battle of Solway Moss and was held by the Archbishop of York. When he returned to Scotland he made a band of friendship or 'manrent' with Cardinal David Beaton at St Andrews on 22 October 1544.
On 11 March 1547, during the siege at St Andrews Castle, Gray made a pledge to Edward VI of England. This contract stated that for English assistance in re-instating his rights over Perth, and the return of his brother, who was a hostage (called a "pledge" in the language of the time) in England; Patrick Gray would further the marriage of Mary, Queen of Scots to Edward VI, and deliver Broughty Castle and the Spey Tower at Perth to the English army. This instrument was witnessed by Norman Leslie, James Kirkcaldy of Grange, Henry Balnaves, and Alexander Whitelaw of Newgrange.
Gray asked to be compensated for his fishing rights at Broughty; he was duly paid £1000 on 14 November 1547 by Sir Andrew Dudley, an English soldier and brother of the Duke of Northumberland. At the same time, the Master of Ruthven, whose father was Provost of Perth and Gray's rival, offered to deliver Perth to the English. In June 1548, Thomas Fisher brought him the Lord Protector's thanks, a gold chain, a pension of 1000 crowns and a gift of 300 crowns. Gray was captured by French troops in November 1548 and summoned for treason on 18 December 1548. D'Essé, the French commander, wanted him executed, but Regent Arran and the other Scottish lords protested.
Later life:
During the crisis of the Scottish Reformation, Mary of Guise wrote to Lord Gray on 11 May 1560 to inform him of the defeat of an English assault at the Siege of Leith. In August 1560, Lord Gray attended the Scottish Reformation Parliament, and signed the commission for the marriage of James Hamilton, 3rd Earl of Arran to Elizabeth I of England, (which had no effect). Some years before, Gray had been captured by the English at a border incident called the Raid of Swinton. In 1562 he was detained in England, on account of his old bail conditions – he had been, "lattin hame upoun ane band." Mary, Queen of Scots, wrote to Elizabeth to complain at his ill-treatment.

Adelaide of Maurienne, also called Alix or Adele[1] (1092 – 18 November 1154) was a queen of France as the second wife of King Louis VI (1115-1137).

Family
Adelaide was the daughter of Count Humbert II of Savoy and Gisela of Burgundy.[2] Adelaide's older brother Amadeus III succeeded their father as count of Savoy in 1103.[3] Adelaide had the same name as her paternal great-grandmother Adelaide of Susa, ruler of the March of Turin, and her second cousin, Adelaide del Vasto, queen of Jerusalem.[4] Through her father, Adelaide was also related to Emperor Henry V. On her mother's side, Adelaide's relatives included her uncle Pope Callixtus II, who visited Adelaide at court in France, and her first cousin King Alfonso VII of León and Castile.[5]

Queenship
Adelaide became the second wife of King Louis VI of France, whom she married on 3 August 1115 in Paris, France.[6] They had nine children, the second of whom became Louis VII of France.

Diploma issued by King Louis VI and Queen Adelaide for the canons of the cathedral chapter of Paris (1127).
Adelaide was one of the most politically active of all France's medieval queens.[7] Her name appears on 45 royal charters from the reign of Louis VI.[8] During her tenure as queen, royal charters were dated with both her regnal year and that of the king.[9] Among many other religious benefactions, she and Louis founded the monastery of St Peter's (Ste Pierre) at Montmartre, in the northern suburbs of Paris.[10]

After Louis VI's death, Adelaide did not immediately retire to conventual life, as did most widowed queens of the time. Instead, she married Matthieu I of Montmorency,[11] with whom she had one child. She remained active in the French court and religious activities.

Death
In 1153 she retired to Montmartre Abbey, which she had founded with Louis VII. She died there on 18 November 1154.[11] She was buried in the cemetery of the Church of St. Pierre at Montmartre. The abbey was destroyed during the French Revolution, but Adelaide's tomb is still visible in the church of St Pierre.[12]

Legend
Adelaide is one of two queens in a legend related in the seventeenth century by William Dugdale. As the story goes, Queen Adélaide of France became enamored of a young knight, William d'Albini, at a joust. However, he was already engaged to Adeliza of Louvain and refused to become her lover. The jealous Adélaide lured him into the clutches of a hungry lion, but William ripped out the beast's tongue with his bare hands and thus killed it. This story is almost without a doubt, apocryphal.[13]

Issue
Louis and Adelaide had seven sons and two daughters:

Philip of France (1116– 1131).
Louis VII (1120 – 18 November 1180), King of France.
Henry (1121– 1175), Archbishop of Reims.
Hugues (b. c. 1122).
Robert (c. 1123– 11 October 1188), Count of Dreux.
Constance (c. 1124– 16 August 1176), married first Eustace IV, Count of Boulogne and then Raymond V of Toulouse.
Philip (1125– 1161), Bishop of Paris. Not to be confused with his elder brother.
Peter (c. 1125– 1183), married Elizabeth, Lady of Courtenay.
a daughter, whose name is not known, who died in infancy and was interred at the Abbey of Saint-Victor, Paris.
With Matthieu I of Montmorency, Adelaide had one daughter:

Adèle (or Aelis or Alix) of Montmorency. 		SAVOY, Alix (Adbelahide) Countess Of of Maurienne (I6615)

Antonia Minor[a] (31 January 36 BC - 1 May AD 37) was the younger of two surviving daughters of Mark Antony and Octavia Minor. She was a niece of the Emperor Augustus, sister-in-law of the Emperor Tiberius, paternal grandmother of the Emperor Caligula and Empress Agrippina the Younger, mother of the Emperor Claudius, and maternal great-grandmother of the Emperor Nero. She outlived her husband Drusus, her oldest son, her daughter and several of her grandchildren.

Biography
Birth and early life
She was born in Athens, Greece, and after 36 BC was taken to Rome by her mother with her siblings. She was the youngest of five: her mother had three children, named Claudia Marcella Major, Claudia Marcella Minor, and Marcus Claudius Marcellus, from her first marriage and another daughter, named Antonia Major by the same father. Antonia never knew her father, Mark Antony, who divorced her mother in 32 BC and committed suicide in 30 BC. She was raised by her mother, her uncle, and her aunt, Livia Drusilla. Having inherited properties in Italy, Greece, and Egypt, she was a wealthy and influential woman, who often received visitors to Rome. She had many male friends, including Alexander the Alabarch, a wealthy Jew, and Lucius Vitellius, a consul and the father of Aulus Vitellius, a future emperor.

Marriage and family
In 16 BC, she married the Roman general and future consul (9 BC) Nero Claudius Drusus. Drusus was the stepson of her uncle Augustus, second son of Livia Drusilla and brother of future Emperor Tiberius. They had many children, but only three survived: the famous general Germanicus, Livilla and the Roman Emperor Claudius.[1] A poem by Crinagoras of Mytilene mentions Antonia's first pregnancy, which may be of a child before Germanicus whom must have died in infancy or early childhood.[1][2][3] Drusus died in June 9 BC in Germany, due to complications from injuries he sustained after falling from a horse. After his death, although pressured by her uncle to remarry, she never did.

Antonia raised her children in Rome. Tiberius adopted Germanicus in AD 4.[4] Germanicus died in 19 AD, allegedly poisoned through the handiwork of Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso and Munatia Plancina. Tacitus suggests but does not outright say in Annals 3.3 that, on the orders of Tiberius and Livia Drusilla, Antonia was forbidden to go to his funeral. When Livia Drusilla died in June 29 AD, Antonia took care of her younger grandchildren Caligula, Agrippina the Younger, Julia Drusilla, Julia Livilla and later Claudia Antonia.

Conflict with Livilla
In 31 AD, a plot by her daughter Livilla and Tiberius' notorious Praetorian prefect, Sejanus, was exposed by Apicata, the estranged ex-wife of Sejanus, to murder the Emperor Tiberius and Caligula and to seize the throne for themselves. Livilla allegedly poisoned her husband, Tiberius' son, Drusus Julius Caesar (nicknamed "Castor"), in 23 AD to remove him as a rival. Sejanus was executed before Livilla was implicated in the crime. After Apicata's accusation, which came in the form of a letter to the emperor, several co-conspirators were executed while Livilla was handed over to her formidable mother for punishment. Cassius Dio states that Antonia imprisoned Livilla in her room until she starved to death.[5]

Succession of Caligula and death
When Tiberius died, Caligula became emperor in March 37 AD. Caligula awarded her a senatorial decree, granting her all the honors that Livia Drusilla had received in her lifetime. She was also offered the title of Augusta, previously only given to Augustus's wife Livia, but rejected it.

Six months into his reign, Caligula became seriously ill. Antonia would often offer Caligula advice, but he once told her, "I can treat anyone exactly as I please!" Caligula was rumored to have had his young cousin Gemellus beheaded, to remove him as a rival to the throne. This act was said to have outraged Antonia, who was grandmother to Gemellus as well as to Caligula.

Having had enough of Caligula's anger at her criticisms and of his behavior, she committed suicide. Suetonius Caligula 23, relates how he might have poisoned her.

When his grandmother Antonia asked for a private interview, he refused it except in the presence of the prefect Macro, and by such indignities and annoyances he caused her death; although some think that he also gave her poison. After she was dead, he paid her no honour, but viewed her burning pyre from his dining-room.

Antonia died on 1 May 37.[6]

When Claudius became emperor after his nephew's assassination in 41 AD, he gave his mother the title of Augusta. Her birthday became a public holiday, which had yearly games and public sacrifices held. An image of her was paraded in a carriage. 		MINOR, Antonia (I9169)
 
12530 WikiTree ID: Reade-10
Colonel George Reade, Esq.

Immigrated to Virginia in 1637
Married Elizabeth Martiau about 1641
Virginia Secretary, Acting Governor, House of Burgesses, King's Council
Ancestor of US President George Washington

Origin

Colonel George Reade was the son of Robert Reade,[3] Gent., and his second wife, Mildred Windebank.[4][5] He was baptized at Linkenholt, Hampshire in 1610.

He was born at Linkenholt Manor, Hampshire, England, probably about 1608, into a very prominent and well-documented English family, the Reade family of Facombe.[citation needed] A possible date of birth is enscribed on his headstone: 25 October 1608, however no birth record has been found to substantiate this date.

Associations

Brother Robert Reade was the private secretary to Sir William Windebanke who was Secretary of State in England.

Immigrated to Virginia

George likely immigrated to Virginia with Sir John Harvey's party, when Harvey returned to the colony under orders of the king to fulfill the office of Governor. George is first documented as being in Virginia in a 1637 letter written to family in England. He wrote that he was "still at the Governor's House."George was a friend and loyal supporter of Governor Harvey and Secretary Kempe.

Family

George married in 1641 at Charles River County, Virginia to Elizabeth Martiau, daughter of Nicholas Martiau. They were probably married at her father's plantation, at the site of present-day Yorktown. Elizabeth's age at the time of her marriage is uncertain (see her profile).

Researchers disagree about the children of Col. George Reade and Elizabeth Martiau. According to du Bellet in Some Prominent Virginia Families, and also Richardson in Royal Ancestry, there were seven children: five sons, George, Robert, Thomas, Francis, Benjamin, and two daughters, Mildred (Reade) Warner and Elizabeth (Reade) Cheesman. Van horn of the Nicolas Martiau Descendant Association agrees, identifying both George and Elizabeth as children.According to McAllister, George and Elizabeth had five children, four sons (Robert, Francis, Benjamin and Thomas) and one daughter, Mildred, who married Augustine Warner.

Their oldest child, daughter Mildred Reade, married Colonel Augustine Warner Jr., of Warner Hall, and the daughter of this marriage, Mildred Warner, married Lawrence Washington, the grandfather of George Washington.

Children of George and Elizabeth Martiau:

Mildred Reade[1] (born 2 October 1643, died 1694),[citation needed] married Col. Augustine Warner.[1]
Robert Reade[1] (born ca. 1644, died before 16 March 1722/23 in York Co., Virginia), married Mary Lilly ca. 1688.[citation needed]
George Reade[1] (born ca. 1648) died without issue; Gov. Berkeley gave him a bay mare in 1665.[citation needed]
Francis Reade[1] (born 1650 York Co., died ca. 1694), married 1st Jane Chisman, 2nd Anne Unknown.[citation needed]
Elizabeth Reade[1] (born ca. 1654, died 18 November 1717 in Charles Parish, York Co., Virginia),[citation needed] married Capt. Thomas Cheesman.[1]
Benjamin Reade[1] (born ca. 1667, one of the two youngest, minor in 1687), married Mary Gwynne/Gwyn, daughter of Edmund/Edmond Gwyn.[citation needed]
Thomas Reade[1] (one of the two youngest, minor in 1687), married Lucy Gwynn, daughter of John Gwynn and granddaughter of Col. Hugh Gwynn.[citation needed]

The following profiles are NOT children of George and were detached (possibly they are grandchildren, as some of the older texts can be confusing):

Andrew Read
Margaret Reade
Mary Reade
Ann Reade

Virginia Government

George Reade was involved in Virginia government from the moment of his arrival in 1637, as he was appointed acting Secretary of the colony in 1637.[11] and was Acting Governor in 1638/9,[11] when Governor Harvey was recalled to England.

On 27 August 1640, he was officially elected Secretary of the Virginia Colony.[5][12][8] He was Burgess for James City County in 1649, and again in December 1656[7] for York.[11][13] In 1652, he served as a Justice for York County.[8] George served as a member of His Majesty's Council, elected March 13, 1657/8.[7] He took the oath of office on April 3, 1658,[13] and served until his death in 1671.[7][11]

In 1659 he was named Colonel of York County.[5]

Middle Plantation

Soon after their marriage in 1641, George and Elizabeth established a plantation home at Middle Plantation (later Williamsburg), Virginia Colony.[8] By 1652, the family had removed to Yorktown; Stoudt suspects it was to be near Elizabeth's ageing father.[8]

Death and Legacy

The will of Colonel George Reade was probated 20 November, 1671.[14] He was buried at Grace Episcopal Churchyard, Yorktown, Virginia, and his wife was later buried at his side.[1][15]

The gravestones of both George and his wife, Elizabeth, were discovered buried while excavating on Buckner Street in Yorktown. In 1931, descendant Letitia Pate Evans had them restored and moved to the churchyard of Grace Episcopal Church in Yorktown, York County, Virginia.[16] Unfortunately, the new stones contain errors. George Reade's stone says he died in Oct. 1674, "he being in the 66th yr of his age."[6] The death date should be 1671 (will probated). Therefore, either the age shown or year of his birth (or both) must be incorrect. (For errors on the stone for Elizabeth Martiau, see her profile.)

The Find a Grave memorial includes a photo of George Reade's stone.[6][17]

Lineage

In addition to being descended from Magna Carta Surety Barons (see below), Col. George Reade was the 9th Great-grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II through his daughter Mildred to the Bowes-Lyons family[18] (Queen Elizabeth, wife of George VI, parents of Queen Elizabeth II). Colonel Reade is also the great-great-grandfather of the first U.S. President, George Washington (also through his daughter Mildred). 		READE, Col. George (I594779433)

Biography
1776 Project
Captain John Carney served with 1st North Carolina Regiment, Continental Army during the American Revolution.

What follows abstracts material collected by Jim Carney, a presumptive direct descendant of John Carney.[1]

Some census data places John Carney's North Carolina birth before 1750. K Johnson attributes his birth as 15 Apr 1748. Martha "Patsy" Carney, the last daughter, was born about the time the family likely traversed Natchez Trace, about 1783, when they settled in the newly formed Whites Creek, Davidson County, North Carolina, later Tennessee.

At that time, more than 80% of western North Carolina was still Indian Lands, surrounding Davidson County. Settlers were isolated in this territory, numbering about 200. In 1795, hostilities with the Indians ended. Of note is that Tennessee was not formed until 1790, when it was entirely organized and ceded from western North Carolina. Some of the birth location attributions may have had more to do with realigned borders, as opposed to resettlement.

Historians postulate that John Carney was related to William and Arthur Carney. Both were Indian Traders, documented regionally from 1783 onwards in towns including St. Augustine, Pensacola, Mobile, Chickasaw Bluffs, New Orleans Fernandina, Bon Secour, et al. Other traders of note were Turner Brashear, Lachlan and John McGillivray, John Turnbull, and others. Turnbull has a close family relationship with the Carneys, in local records including the Brashears (Brassiers) and the Leflores.
Another John Carney, Half-Sibling of John Carney, and DNA Testing

DNA testing of several Carney Family volunteers has confirmed the Mississippi John Carney (born 1775) line is related through an exact match with 46 markers to the Tennessee John Carney (born 1748) line. Despite the speculation of other researchers, this evidence suggests that we should not merge Iklannabee (often referred to as John Carney, especially later in his life) into the John Carney born in 1748. Instead, it is presumed that they were half-brothers. Arguments are well-described in the RootsWeb source material, giving logistics on birth dates for each of the men and their children.
John Carney in The Records

During the American Revolutionary War (ca. 1775-1783), John Kearney (Carney) was assigned to the Army of General George Rogers Clark and Crockett's Regiment, with Richard Brashear, who was at Cahokia 31 May 1780.
Crockett's Virginia Regiment: Lt. Colonel Joseph Crockett; Major George Walls; Surgeon Charles Greer
Captains: John Chapman (killed); William Cherry, John Kerney, Benjamin Kinley (died), Peter Moore, Abraham Tipton, Thomas Young
Approx 650 men in the Crockett regiment. See https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/4241740.pdf?refreqid=fastly-default%3Aef43e48bb9f65ae02a09f1ebc5be9371&ab_segments=&origin=&initiator=&acceptTC=1

John is the son of Arthur Kearney, who married Celeste Brashear. Most of Richard Brashear's regiment resettled in Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama. Kinship probably facilitated John's resettlement of his family after service from North Carolina to Tennessee following the war.

"The men in Captain Roger's Old Militia Company lived in the North East part of Davidson County from Dry Fork/Whites Creek to Sycamore Creek."[2]

John Carney appears in the records of 1787, about four years after his arrival in Davidson County, as a juror in a trial:

"Defendant came to plaintiff('s) house, picked up a chair, knocked plaintiff down, (and) bit his thumb."[3]

Father John Carney and sons William and Elijah are later mentioned in the 1798 Sumner County Tax Roll. Sumner County was formed from the east portion of Davidson County. A year later in 1799 they are also mentioned in a Davidson County road improvement filing:

"Isaac Earthman to oversee the Road beginning at the foot of The ridge thence to the head of Long Creek, down said creek about one mile to the tree marked with a large O with all lands above Dry Fork East & West of said Creek To wit: William Smith, JOHN CARNEY, WILLIAM CARNEY, ELIJAH CARNEY... and all taxables (taxable persons) in (said) bounds."[4]

Elijah CARNEY and Vincent CARNEY both bought more land holdings on Dry Fork Creek on the same day (6 Jun 1809) from Frederick Stump.
1812

John CARNEY and William CARNEY bought land on nearby Marrowbone Creek in February 1812. On 7 Feb 1812, the worst earthquake in US history occurred in Northwest Tennessee, when a large land mass dropped several feet, tidal waves occurred, and a back-flow of the Mississippi River resulted in the formation of the 13,000-acre Reelfoot Lake. John Carney bought 40 acres at Marowbone, land known as "Edward Blackburn's old place" on 25 Mar 1812.

Later, it is noted there were four of these men (John, William, Elijah and Vincent) listed on the rolls of the 1812 Davidson County Militia. John and William were in one regiment, and Elijah and Vincent were in another. It is believed that this John was not a participant, but it would have been nephew John Jr (born 1775), as this John would have been in his 60s. It cannot be ascertained with certainty if these Militia members were involved in only defense or saw any action in nearby states against the Spanish. Militia members were not entitled to land grants following the war. Such grants were reserved for those serving three years in the regular military.

We find JOHN KERNEY in the 1830 Davidson County, Tennessee Census 2 males - under 5; 1 male - age 15/20; 1 male - 80/90; 1 female - under 5; 1 female - age 15/20; 1 female - age 20/30; 1 female - age 60/70; 1 female - age 80/90. This indicates that John remained married as late as his eighties. This is the last mention that we find of John Carney in the records.

OLD RESEARCH NOTES:
John Carney was born in North Carolina around 1748-1750, as determined from censuses of him and his children. K. Johnson has birth as 15 Apr 1748. Most of his children were also born in North Carolina, but some (if not several), as noted on the Census rolls including sons William, Elijah and Vincent, and daughter Lucy - may have been born in east North Carolina/Tennessee. Martha "Patsy" Carney the last daughter was born about the time the family may have came up through the Natchez Trace in 1782/83 and settled in White's Creek, Davidson County, North Carolina (later Tennessee), which had just formed as a county in 1783. At that time, over 80% of western North Carolina was still Indian Lands which surrounded Davidson County isolated in the middle of this semi-hostile territory with only 200 able bodied men in all settlements. Until the Indian wars ended in 1795, only a trickle of settlers entered. It is important to note, that Tennessee was not formed until 1790 as it was entirely organized and ceded from western North Carolina. It is possible, some of the family children did not move far at all from their birth places and the borders were what moved.

It is suspected John Carney was related to William and Arthur Carney, who were Indian Traders found trading in these areas from 1783 onwards, in towns such as St. Augustine, Pensacola, Mobile, Chickasaw Bluffs, New Orleans Fernandina, Bon Secour, etc. Other traders of note were Turner Brashear, Lachlan and John McGillivray, John Turnbull, and others. Turnbull has a close family relationship with the Carneys as seem to be locally the Brashears (Brassiers) and the Leflore's

DNA testing of several Carney Family volunteers has confirmed the Mississippi John Carney (B: 1775) line is related through an exact match with 46 markers to the Tennessee John Carney (B: 1748) line. Despite other researchers speculation, we cannot merge Iklannabee into John Carney (B: 1748) who is believed to be his half-brother. Reasons: (1) This John Carney has children with sufficient documentation proving that they were born and partially raised in the North Carolina and then arrived in Tennessee territory in 1783 - Iklannabee birthdate firmed up about 1758 and would have been father at 12. (2) Iklannabee was Indian in appearance, and ½ breeds were not then allowed to own land in Tennessee/North Carolina or serve as juror. (3) It is shown in several Censuses that John and his children were never mentioned to be anything other than white.

The plausible conclusion as evidenced by the DNA testing and rolls, censuses, land deeds, etc is that Iklannabee of Mississippi and John Carney (B: 1748) of Tennessee have the same father, believed to be the same Indian Trader who plied his wares in Indian Territory. The Choctaw Indian Territory extended from Mississippi to eastern Alabama and up the Natchez Trace into Tennessee.

The first mention of John Carney in official records is in 1787, four years after arrival confirmed when he was a juror in a trial.

The Carney men, John, William and Elijah are later mentioned on the 1798 Sumner County Tax Roll. Sumner County was formed from the right (east) portion of Davidson County. A year later, they are also mentioned again in a road improvement filed in Davidson County, Tennessee Court Minutes July 1799 page 20 Isaac Earthman to oversee the Road beginning at the foot of The ridge thence to the head of Long Creek, down said creek about one mile to the tree marked with a large O with all lands above Dry Fork East & West of said Creek To wit: William Smith, JOHN CARNEY, WILLIAM CARNEY, ELIJAH CARNEY...and all taxables in sd bounds.

Elijah CARNEY and Vincent CARNEY bought more land holdings on Dry Fork Creek on the same day (6 Jun 1809) from Frederick Stump. John CARNEY and William CARNEY bought land on nearby Marrowbone Creek in February, 1812. John Carney bought land known as "Edward Blackburn's old place" on March 25, 1812 - 40 acres on Marrowbone. This follows the worst earthquake in U.S. History which occurred February 7th in Northwest Tennessee where a vast land area drops several fee, tidal waves and a back flowing Mississippi River result in 13,000 acre Reelfoot Lake.

During the war of Independence from English rule, John Kearney (Carney) was assigned to The Army of General George Rogers Clark and Crockett's Regiment with Richard Brashear who was at Cahokia on 31 may 1780. John is believed to be related to Arthur Kearney, who married Celeste Brashear indicating at least a familiarity with the Brashear family further strengthening the connection to Arthur as John's relative. Most of Brashear's regiment resettled in Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama. This would fit with John's resettlement of his family after service from North Carolina to Tennessee in 1783 following the war. Source Book: "Pioneers of Davidson County, Tennessee" - By: Edythe R. Whitley "The men in Captain Roger's Old Militia Company lived in the North East part of Davidson County from Dry Fork/Whites Creek to Sycamore Creek"

By 1790, The newly formed United States had 230,000 immigrants from England, and the second most prolific immigrants were 142,000 settlers from Ireland. Together with other immigrant nationalities and all their descendants, the population was now 3,929,326. In 1917, The Irish (later termed Scotch-Irish in 1970's), begin deserting Ireland following 100 years of leasing land with oppressive rents by absentee Anglo landlords and a crumbling linen trade, famine and droughts. The Presbyterians who predominated the Irish were disadvantaged by the Penal laws of the Church of England, but were just a likely to become Methodists and Baptists upon settlement in America. It is estimated over 200,000 Ulster Irish-Scotts relocated to America, followed my more when the potato famines later occurred. Most of the earlier settlers found there independent and unique ways were unwelcome in Boston, Philadelphia, etc unlike the potato famine refugees in later years, and found themselves traveling to the backwoods of America and the Appalachian region, settled almost exclusively by these Irish. The typical migration involved small networks of related families/clans that settled together, intermarried and avoided outsiders. After many years of English oppression in Ireland, these Irish were ardent patriots of their new land America.

Later, it is noted there were four of these men (John, William, Elijah and Vincent) listed on the rolls of the 1812 Davidson County Militia. John and William were in one regiment, and Elijah and Vincent were in another. It is believed that this John was not a participant, but it would have been nephew John Jr. (B:1775) , as this John would have been in his 60's. It cannot be ascertained with certainty if these Militia members were involved in only defense or saw any action in nearby states against the Spanish. Militia members were not entitled to land grants following the war, only those who served for three years in the regular military.

We find JOHN KERNEY in the 1830 Davidson County, Tennessee Census 2 males - under 5; 1 male - age 15/20; 1 male - 80/90; 1 female - under 5; 1 female - age 15/20; 1 female - age 20/30; 1 female - age 60/70; 1 female - age 80/90. This would indicate he was married as late as his eighties, but to whom it is not known.

The rest of the family is well documented in the area for years to come with children, families, extended families etc, but further mention of John Carney after 1830 is not confirmable in context to be our John Carney, and his death was believed to be around 1838. 		CARNEY, Capt. John (I112680638)
 
12532 WIKITREE:
Stephen Hopkins was baptised on 30 April 1581 at Upper Clatford Parish, Hampshire, England, the son of John Hopkins[1][2][3] and Elizabeth Williams. Shortly after his birth and baptism in Upper Clatford, the family moved to Winchester.

Marriages
Stephen Hopkins first married Mary Kent[4][5] by 13 May 1604 (baptism of a child) with a residence in Hursley. She died (no proof that it was of plague) while her husband was in Bermuda, on 9 May 1613, and was buried at Hursley, Hampshire. She bore him three children.

Stephen married second, Elizabeth Fisher 19 Feb 1617/18 at St. Mary's, Whitechapel, London.[6][4][7] Mayflower Families (1975)[8] stated that she died after 4 Feb. 1638/9. But a later edition (2001)[9] revises her death date to "before 06 Jun 1644, the date Stephen executed his will. February 4, 1638/9 is the date of the Plymouth court session that weighed the situation of Stephen Hopkins' pregnant servant, Dorothy Temple; Stephen's wife is not mentioned.[10] She was certainly dead by the time her husband executed his will as he directs his executor to bury him beside his deceased wife.[11] Together they had seven children.
Children of Stephen and Mary Kent

All baptized at Hursley:[12]

Elizabeth Hopkins, bp. 13 May 1604, living in 1613 when she was mentioned in her mother's estate records; no further record found.
Constance Hopkins, bp. 11 May 1606; m. Nicholas Snow, by 22 May 1627, when they appeared in Stephen Hopkins' "Companie" in the division of cattle.

The parish registers of Hursley contain the following baptismal entries, transcribed from the original Latin:[15]

(1604) decimo tercio die maij Elizabetha filia Stephani Hopkyns fuit baptizata [13th day of May, Elizabeth, daughter of Stephen Hopkins, was baptized]

The following burial record was also discovered, entered in English:

(1613) Mary Hopkines the wife of Steeven Hopkines was buried the ix (9th) day of May.

Children of Stephen and Elizabeth Fisher

The children of Stephen and Elizabeth (Fisher) Hopkins:[9]

Damaris Hopkins, b. say 1618, d. before 22 May 1627 (division of cattle). Either Damaris or Oceanus must have d. before the 1623 land division, which indicates as Robert Wakefield has shown, that there were then five members in Stephen Hopkins' family.[16]
Oceanus Hopkins, b. on the Mayflower (and named to memorialize that) between 6 Sept. and 11 Nov. 1620 (Old Style), the dates that the ship was at sea, d. before 22 May 1627 (division of cattle) and possibly before the 1623 land division.
Caleb Hopkins, b. say 1623, living Plymouth, 30 Nov. 1644, when he signed an agreement with Richard Sparrow to rear his sister Elizabeth, d. Barbados, before spring 1651, when Bradford called him deceased.
Deborah Hopkins, b. Plymouth, say 1626; m. Plymouth, 23 April 1646, Andrew Ring (widow Mary).[17][18]
Damaris Hopkins (again), b. Plymouth, say 1628 (after May 1627 [division of cattle]); m. shortly after 10 June 1646 (antenuptial agreement), Jacob Cooke (son of Francis of the Mayflower).[19][20]
Ruth Hopkins, b. say 1630 (after 22 May 1627 [division of cattle]), d. unmarried after [30 Nov.?] 1644 (distribution of father's estate) and before spring 1651 (since Elizabeth must be the unmarried sister mentioned by Bradford).
Elizabeth Hopkins (again), b. say 1632 (after 22 May 1627 [division of cattle). She had left Plymouth by 29 7m [Sept.] 1659 when the process of settling her estate began; the records, however, are careful not to state that she was dead.

Voyage on the Sea Venture (1609)
Jamestown ships
Steven arrived in Jamestown aboard the ship Sea Venture in 1609.

It is stated by some that Stephen Hopkins, prior to his migration on the Mayflower, was hired as a clerk for Reverend Richard Buck, assisting aboard the 300-ton "Sea Venture,"[21][22][23] one of a fleet of 7 ships and 2 pinnaces that started a voyage from Plymouth, England to the Virginia Colony on July 23, 1609 and travelling with Sir Thomas Gates, Deputy Governor of the Virginia Colony, and "the old sea rover" Sir George Summers, Admiral of the Seas. The fleet was caught in a hurricane that began July 24, causing much damage.[24][25] The Sea Venture was wrecked on 28 July 1609, driven ashore on the uninhabited Somers Island in Bermuda with 150 men, women & children. The group survived on birds, wild hogs and turtles. A year later, survivors reached Virginia in a small boat they had built.

During the sojourn Hopkins undertook to persuade others that it was no breach of honesty, conscience nor religion to decline from the obedience to the Governor since the authority ceased when the wreck was committed. His arguments prevailed little and he was placed under guard, brought before the company in manacles and the Governor passed the sentence of a Martial Court upon him such as belongs to mutiny and rebellion. But so penitent he was and made so much moane...that the whole company besought the Governor and never left him until we had got his pardon.

This contemporary account of events is included in William Strachey's record of the voyage and the wreck of the Sea Venture, which also notes that while Hopkins was ultra religious, he was contentious and defiant of authority and had enough learning to undertake to wrest leadership from others. Strachey wrote,

"Yet could not this be any warning to others who more subtly began to shake the foundation of our quiet safety. And therein did one Stephen Hopkins commence the first act or overture, a fellow who had much knowledge in the Scriptures and could reason well therein, whom our minister therefore chose to be his clerk to read the psalms and chapters upon Sundays at the assembly of the congregation under him; who in January the twenty-four [16101 brake with one Samuel Sharpe and Humfrey Reede-who presently discovered it to the governor-and alleged substantial arguments both civil and divine (the Scripture falsely quoted!) that it was no breach of honesty, conscience, nor religion to decline from the obedience of the governor, or refuse to go any further led by his authority, except it so pleased themselves, since the authority ceased when the wrack was committed, and with it they were all then freed from the government of any man; and for a matter of conscience it was not unknown to the meanest how much we were therein bound each one to provide for himself and his own family. For which were two apparent reasons to stay them even in this place: first, abundance by God's providence of all manner of good food; next, some hope in reasonable time, when they might grow weary of the place, to build a small bark with the skill and help of the aforesaid Nicholas Bennit, whom they insinuated to them -- albeit he was now absent from his quarter and working in the main island with Sir George Summers upon his pinnace-to be of the conspiracy, that so might get clear from hence at their own pleasures; (that) when in Virginia, the first would-be assuredly wanting, and they miglff-well rear to be detained in that country by the authority of the commander thereof, and their whole life to serve the turns of the adventurers with their travails and labors."[26][27]

Although there is no complete list of the shipwrecked party who eventually reached Jamestown in the 2 pinnaces Patience and Deliverance built on the islands, Hopkins did not remain on the Somers Islands and the conclusion is that he traveled to Jamestown with the others before returning to England.[28]

Life on the island of Bermuda proved to be so easy, that when Sir George Summers ordered a smaller ship be built from the wreckage of the Sea Venture to take the survivors to Jamestowne, some members of the crew refused to cooperate. In September 1609 there were "dangerous and secret discontents" among the seamen, who tried to lure the would be settlers to the cause of abandoning the effort to reach Jamestown. Before they could carry out their plan, Governor Gates discovered their plot and gave them their wish. They were deposisted on a remote island without provisions, insted of sentencing them to death, the usual punishment for this type of offence.[29] [30] In January, the following year, another rebellion brewed and this time, their leader was Stephen Hopkins. He was apprehended and tried for mutiny and given a much harsher sentence than the sailors, sentenced to death. He was both the captain and only follower of this revolt so death seems rather extraordinary, given the light sentence previously imposed on the group of sailors. It may be due to him verbally opposing Gates right to authority when he spoke to the two listeners. He pleaded for his life, for the sake of his wife and children, so eloquently that he was pardoned. That may be due as much or more to William Strachey and Vice Admiral Christopher Ward who came to Gates asking for leniency. "With humble entreaties and earnest supplication...[we] nebver left him until we had got [Hopkins'] pardon."[31] [32]
Jamestown (1610)

What do Jamestowne, the Mayflower and Shakespeare have in common? The answer is Stephen Hopkins, a Jamestowne settler,[33] a Mayflower Pilgrim and a survivor of the wreck of the Sea Venture, supposedly the basis for Shakespeare's comedy, "The Tempest ".

In May, 1610, the survivors reached Jamestowne. His mutinous efforts in Bermuda gained him such notoriety that Shakespeare wrote him into "The Tempest" as the plotting butler. While "The Tempest" contains only one direct reference to the Bermudas, when Ariel tells how Prospero called him 'to fetch dew...From the still-vex'd Bermoothes' , Stephanos could easily refer to Stephen Hopkins, a caricature portrayed as a drunken clown or court jester with ambitions of grandeur. William Shakespeare moved in the same circle as a fellow writer, William Strachey. Both were writers. Strachey wrote a letter dated July 15, 1610, to an unnamed 'Excellant Lady'. The letter was started while in Bermuda and finished in Jamestown. [34] This letter was the original abbreviated account of the temporary exile and trip to Jamestown. A longer and more polished version was written after he became secretary of the Colony and was published in 1625, now known as A True Reportory. Both the letter and the longer account would have circulated quickly among the Londoners belonging to the Virginia Company. He may have even learned about the voyage from the sailors returning home or from his friends, the Earls of Southampton and Pembroke, who had business interest in the expedition.

The theory is that Stephen Hopkins remained in Virginia until at least late 1614, when the death of his wife (May 1613) forced his return to England. A brief English docket item dated 20 September 1614 records a letter was sent "to Sir Thomas Dale Marshall of the Colony in Virginia, to send home by the next return of ships from thence Eliezer Hopkins"[35] Apparently, an examination of the court record by Michael J. Wood verified that this is the correct reading, and the docket item does not refer to Stephen Hopkins. But, as is so often the case, the name could have been entered into the court record incorrectly. The original letter is lost. The date fits when that sort of an order would have been issued for Stephen. If he didn't leave then, he may have finished out the 7 year indenture agreement and left 1616.[36]
Back in England (1614-1620)

Back in England, Mary's Probate was executed at Hursley, Southhampton, England.[37] We learn from this record that they were shopkeepers, there was a lease on the home and she is listed as a widow, though the burial record calls her his wife. We can assume that the administrator or court thought it more expedient to list her as a widow so the estate could be available for their children's care more quickly, especially since they didn't know if he was alive or dead.[38]

Stephen married Elizabeth Fisher in 1617/8. Their home had been just outside of London Wall on the high road entering the city at Aldgate in the vicinity of Heneage House. In this neighborhood lived John Carver and William Bradford of the Mayflower Company; Robert Cushman, the London agent for the Pilgrims; and Edward Southworth, who later came to New England. Perhaps wanting more adventure, he returned to the New World, this time with his wife and three children as they joined the voyage of the Mayflower in 1620.
Mayflower Passenger (1620)

Stephen Hopkins was invited to and did return to America aboard the Mayflower departing London before the end of June, 1620, with his second wife, Elizabeth, and children, Constance (Constanta), Giles, and Damaris. A fourth child, Oceanus, was born on the ship during the voyage. Hopkins signed the Mayflower Compact on November 11, 1620.[39]

At the time of the voyage, he was considered a tanner or leather maker, but later was a merchant and planter.[40]

Hopkins was one of twelve Mayflower passengers given the title "Mr." which was reserved for men of high societal standing. This is also reiterated by the fact that he brought along two servants, Edward Leister and Edward Doty.

On the 6th of December Stephen Hopkins, in the company of 17 other men, Capt. Standish at the head, started on a second voyage of discovery, with the shallop, which lasted 5 or 6 days, during which they had an encounter with the Indians. They entered Plymouth bay and landed on the 11th of December.

In Pilgrim Hall, Plymouth, Mass., there is a painting by Henry Sargent, a Boston artist, a member of the family to which the celebrated John Singer Sargent belongs. A group of men, women, and children are greeted by the Indian chief, Samoset. In the background, a portion of a ship with a British flag can be seen. Text printed under image identifies the figures as: I. Allerton & wife; Elder Brewster; F. Billington; William White & child; Richard Warren; John Turner; Gov. Bradford; John Alden; Gov. Carver & Family; Miles Standish; Samoset; John Howland; Wife of Standish; Steph. Hopkins, wife & child; Gov. Winslow; E. Tilley; Dr. Fuller; Mrs. Winslow[41][42]

Life in New England

"Steuen Hobkins" received six acres in the 1623 division of land, indicating five people in his household (since Stephen should have had an extra share).[43][44] In the Division of Cattle, 22 May 1627, the seventh lot "fell to Stephen Hopkins & his companie Joyned to him"; wife Elizabeth Hopkins, Gyles Hopkins, Caleb Hopkins, Debora Hopkins, Nickolas Snow, Constance Snow, Wil[l]iam Pallmer, Frances Pallmer, Wil[l]iam Palmer Jr., John Billington Sr., Hellen Billington, and Francis Billington.[45]

That Stephen Hopkins was a man of more than ordinary force of character and influence is shown by the part he played in the early history of the colony. In Howard and Crocker's Popular History of New England, we read:

"No one can ponder the annals of the early settlement of New England without being profoundly impressed with the rare excellency of the material that went into its foundation. Consider the names of such primitive Pilgrims as Carver, Bradford, Brewster, Standish, Winslow, Alden, Warren, Hopkins, and others."[46]

And Moore, in his Lives of the Colonial Governors, says,

"Of the Pilgrims who remained in 1634, Stephen Hopkins, Miles Standish, and John Alden were the most prominent individuals. Hopkins was the one of the principle magistrates...Stephen Hopkins was not only one of the first men among the Pilgrims, but he had extraordinary fortune in being concerned with many of the first things that happened to the colonists, whether for good or for evil. Thus, he was one of the signers of the first Declaration of Independence in the New World-the famous Compact, drawn up and signed in the cabin of the Mayflower, November twenty-first, 1620; it has been called 'the nucleus around which everything else clustered-unquestionably the foundation of all the superstructures of government which have since been reared in these United States.[47]

Stephen Hopkins headed a list of persons chosen to arrange for trade with outsiders-- a sort of incipient chamber of commerce. He was added to the Governor and Assistants in 1637 as an assessor to raise a fund for sending aid to the Massachusetts Bay and Connecticut colonies in the impending Indian War. In the same year, he and his two sons, Giles and Caleb, were among the forty-two who volunteered their services as soldiers to aid these same colonies. We find also him repeatedly mentioned as an appraiser of estates, administrator, guardian, juryman (foreman, apparently), etc.

On 18 June 1621, Edwards Doty and Leister (Mr. Hopkins' two servants) fought what was the first duel on record in New England, with sword and dagger. Hopkins petitioned for the release of his servants from cruel punishment. Both were wounded, one in the hand and the other in the thigh. They were sentenced by the whole company to have their heads and feet tied together and so to lie for 24 hours without meat or drink, 'but within an hour, because of their great pains, at their own & their master's humble request, upon promise of better carriage, they are released by the governor.' [48]

Stephen Hopkins also became Indian Ambassador of the Plymouth Colony, during which time he befriended and invited the famous Native American, Squanto, to live in his home. He went with Governor Winslow and Squanto on the first embassy sent to the Massasoit to conclude a treaty. It was in Hopkins' home that the first ever Indian treaties were signed. As Indian Ambassador, Stephen Hopkins participated in the arrangement and planning of the first Thanksgiving.

Mr. Hopkins opened the first bar, built the first port of ships and erected the first trading post in American history. He was engaged in trade, selling liquors and various other articles. He was charged at times with abuse of his traffic in liquors and with selling liquors and other articles at excessive rates, according to the views of the period, but he never lost the confidence of the leading men.

In January 1633, Hopkins became assistant to the new governor of the colony, Edward Winslow. The former Governor, William Bradford and Miles Standish served as assistants also. He was chosen for this position three years in succession, 1632-5. Jan. 1, 1632/3.[49][50] He was also chosen one of the council for the ensuing year, Edward Winslow being chosen governor. On Jan. 10 of the same year, he was a member of a court that tried a servant who had run away. The servant was privately whipped before the court.

Jan. 2, 1633/4: He and John Jenny were the appraisers of the estate of Samuel Fuller, the elder, which included about 30 books.[51]

Oct. 1, 1634: He was appointed the first of a committee to treat with the existing partners as to the future management of the trade.[52]

Oct. 2, 1634: He and Robert Hicks took the inventory of the goods of Stephen Deans.[52]

June 7, 1636: John Tisdale, yeoman, brought an action of battery against Mr. Hopkins, assistant to the government, by whom he alleged he was dangerously wounded. Hopkins was fined L5 sterling to the use of the King, whose peace he had broken, wch he ought after a special manner to have kept, and was adjudged to pay 40s. to the plaintiff.[52]

Jan. 1, 1634/5: ""Mr. William Bradford was elected gouernour, & to enter vponit the first Tuesday in march next ensueing, & to serue from the same time one whole yeare. "At the same time wer elected for Asistants, to enter with the Gouernour the day aboue mentioned, and to continue the whole yeare, -- Mr Tho. Prince, Mr Edward Winsloe, Mr John Alden, Mr Steuen Hopkins, Captayne Miles Standish, Mr John Houland, Mr William Collier."[52][53]

Jan. 5, 1635/6: ": "Mr. ed: Winslow was chosen Gouer, and William Bradford, Tho: Prence, John Alden, Wm Collier, Steuen Hopkins, Tim: Hatherly, John Browne, Assistants… "At ye same Courte, Jane Waren sued Weekes for 50 li, which she had lent him, to be paid vpon demand. He was ordered to put so much goods into ye hands of Mr Hopkins & Kenelemne Winslowe as should contrauele ye money, & had 3 months time alowed to sell them, or other good, to make her paymente."[54]

March 14, 1635/6: He was authorized to mow the marsh between Thomas Clarke and George Sowle, and it was ordered that he and Clarke have the marsh up the river as formerly.[55]

Nov. 7, 1636: A way between his land and that of Thomas Pope, Richard Clough and Richard Wright, 'at the fishing point, neer Slowly Field,' is mentioned.[56]

Jan. 3, 1636/7: Stephen Hopkins was an assistant on the same date he was made one of a committee to arrange an agreement with those that have the trade in theire hands and report to the court.

March 7, 1636/7: In a list of freemen, dated, he is styled "gentleman."

7 March 1636: "Concerning the trade of beaver, corne, & beads, &c., with the Indians, it is agreed, by the consent of the Court, that they that now haue yt shall hold yt vntill the next Court, the beginning of June; and then further conference to be had for the mannageing thereof, that such further course may be taken therein as shalbe thought fitt. And in the meane season, Mr Hopkins, Mr Atwood, Mr Done, & Jonathan Brewster shalbe added to the gounor and Assistant, to aduise vpon such pposicons and wayes so as the said trade may be still continued to the benefit the collony."[57]

March 20, 1636/7: Action was taken as to the use of the hay grounds and Mr. Hopkins was made one of a committee to view those grounds between the Eel river and the town of Plymouth, that each man might be assigned a proper portion. He and Thomas Clark were given the hay ground they had the past year.[58]

May 10, 1637: A jury impaneled for the purpose rendered a verdict (which was delivered to the General Court July 7, 1637) laying out highways to the Eel river from Plymouth, which mentions Mr. Hopkins' house, one of the ways passing it on the west.

June 7, 1637: He with the governor and assistants and other persons formed a committee to consider how the trade in beaver, etc., (which was likely to go into decay) might be upheld.[59]

On the same date the committee of which Mr. Hopkins was a member reported that the expenses of the Pequot service would amount to L200, of which L100 was to be paid by Plymouth and L50 each by Duxbury and Scituate.

Among the names of those entered June 7, 1637, who willingly offered themselves to assist the people of Massachusetts Bay and Connecticut in their warrs against the Pequin Indians, in reveng of the innocent blood of the English wch the sd Pequins have barbarously shed, and refuse to give satisfaccon for, were Mr. Stephen Hopkins and his 2 sons Caleb and Giles. The soldiers who volunteered for the Pequot war were, however, not required to take the field.

On the same date Mr. Hopkins for the town of Plymouth was 1 of 2 men who, together with the governor and assistants, were to form a board to assess the inhabitants for the expenses of that war.

July 17, 1637: Stephen Hopkins sold for L60 lawful money of England, to be paid 1/2 on May 1, 1638, and 1/2 Sept. 29, 1638, to George Boare of Scituate his message, houses, tenements and outhouses at the Broken wharf towards the Eel river, together with the 6 shares of land thereunto belonging, containing 120 acres.

October 2, 1637: He was appointed one of a committee for the town of Plymouth to act with the governor and assistants and committee from Eel river, Jones river and Duxbury in agreeing upon an equal course in the division of about 500 acres of meadow between the Eel river and South river.[60]

2 January 1637/8: "Presentment by the Grand Jury. "1.

[61]
Death & Legacy

Stephen Hopkins died in Plymouth between 6 June 1644 (date of his will) and 17 July 1644 (inventory of his estate).[62]

Among the earliest wills probated at Plymouth, Massachusetts, was that of Stephen Hopkins, 6 June 1644 - August 1644, directing that he be buried near his deceased wife, naming son Caleb, "heir apparent," mentioning other children and naming Captain Myles Standish as overseer of the will. The will was witnessed by Governor Bradford and Captain Standish.

The last Will and Testament of Mr. Stephen Hopkins[11] exhibited upon the Oathes of mr Willm Bradford and Captaine Miles Standish at the generall Court holden at Plymouth the xxth of August Anno dm 1644 as it followeth in these wordes vizt.

Witnesses hereof By me Steven Hopkins

William Bradford

The portions of the estate for the daughters Debora, Damaris, Ruth, and Elizabeth were divided "equally by Capt Myles Standish [and] Caleb Hopkins their brother" at a date not given, and an agreement was reached on 30 9th month [Nov.] 1644 between Capt. Myles Standish and Caleb Hopkins with Richard Sparrow that Sparrow would have "Elizabeth Hopkins as his owne child untill the tyme of her marryage or untill shee be nineteene years of age," noting "the weaknes of the Child and her inabillytie top[e]rforme such service as may acquite their charge in bringing of her up and that shee bee not too much oppressed now in her childhood wth hard labour...." On 15 8th month [Oct.] 1644, Richard Sparrow acknowledged receiving "the half of a Cow from Capt MIles Standish wch is Ruth Hopkins," and on 19 May 1647, Myles Standish acknowledged receiving "two young steers in full Satisfaction for halfe a Cow which was Ruth hopkins which Richard Sparrow bought of me..."[63][64]

The "Cattle that goeth under the Name of Elizabeth hopkinses" were valued on 29 7th month [Sept.] 1659, and an inventory of her estate was taken on 6 October 1659. On 5 October, the court ordered that, "incase Elizabeth hopkins Doe Come Noe more," the cattle be awarded to Gyles Hopkins, and that he not "[d]emaund of, or molest...Andrew Ringe or Jacob Cooke in the peacable enjoyment of that which they have of the estate of Elizabeth hopkins."[65][66]

From The Mayflower Society:
Stephen Hopkins was one of the most adventurous of the passengers aboard the Mayflower. He traveled with his second wife, Elizabeth (Fisher) Hopkins, and children Constanta, Giles and Damaris. Elizabeth was pregnant during the voyage and gave birth to a son Oceanus while at sea. Two indentured servants accompanied the family, Edward Doty and Edward Leister.

Stephen was baptized at All Saints Church, at Upper Clatford, Hampshire, England, on the last of April, 1581, the son of John and Elizabeth (Williams) Hopkins. He died at Plymouth, between 6 June and 17 July 1644. Stephen married 1) before 13 May 1604, Mary Kent; he married 2) at St. Mary Matfellon, Whitechapel, Middlesex, 19 February 1617/18, Elizabeth Fisher.

This was not Stephen's first voyage to the New World. In 1609 he signed on as a minister's clerk, aboard the Sea Venture at Plymouth, England, the flagship of a fleet of seven headed to Jamestown, along with Jamestown's Governor Sir Thomas Gates and the Rev. Richard Buck. Stephen left his wife Mary and three children behind and would be gone seven years. After a hurricane which sent their damaged ship to Bermuda, they spent many months repairing it so they could continue to Jamestown. During this time, Stephen argued that the Governor had no authority over them while they were on land. He was found guilty of "Mutinie and Rebellion" and sentenced to death. He was so penitent, asking the court to consider the plight of his wife and children, that he was pardoned. The group eventually made their way to Jamestown and spent the next few years rebuilding the colony. When Stephen returned to England by 1616, he learned that his first wife had died.

Stephen Hopkins was a signer of the Mayflower Compact, signed at Provincetown, 11 November 1620. In the 1623 land division, he received six acres. The cattle division of 1627 lists he and his wife Elizabeth, with children Gyles, Caleb, Deborah, and daughter Constance and her husband Nicholas Snow.

Stephen's experiences in Jamestown made him valuable to the Plymouth settlement. He helped determine a suitable place to settle, and his dealings with the Native Americans were especially helpful. When Samoset and Squanto began their visits to Plymouth in 1621, they were housed in Stephen Hopkins' home. It was also Hopkins who was chosen by Governor Carver to go with Edward Winslow and first approach Massasoit.

Stephen went on to serve as an Assistant of the Governor for many years, however he sometimes found himself on the other side of the law. In 1636, in his office as Assistant, he was fined £5.40s for breaking the King's peace in dangerously wounding John Tisdale. At least three times he was fined for allowing men to drink excessively at his house, and several times fined for charging excessive prices for liquor and goods.

Children of Stephen and Mary (Kent) Hopkins:
Elizabeth Hopkins, baptized at Hursley, 13 May 1604; died after 1613.
Constance Hopkins, baptized at Hursley, May 11, 1606; died at Eastham, mid-October, 1677; married at Plymouth, circa 1626, Nicholas Snow and they had 12 children: Mark, Mary, Sarah, Joseph, Stephen, John, Elizabeth, Jabez and Ruth Snow, as well as three children whose names are not known. The possibility that one of the three unknowns may be the wife of Daniel Doane has not yet been proven.
Giles Hopkins, baptized at Hursley, 30 January. 1607/08; died at Eastham, between 5 March 1688/89 and 16 April 1690; married at Plymouth, 9 October 1639, Katherine Whelden and had ten children: Mary, Stephen, John, Abigail, Deborah, Caleb, Ruth, Joshua, William and Elizabeth Hopkins.

2. JOHN MERVYN (M5JY-R6S) (Thomas), of Ramsey, co. Essex, yeoman the testator of 1533, may have
been born about 1480. He was of age in 1503, and was co-executor of his father's will. He died at Ramsey
between 16 September 1533 (the date of his will) and 17 December 1533 (the date of probate), and was buried
in the Church of St. Michael the Archangel at Ramsey. He is identical with the man whose name Mr. W. T. R.
Marvin did not know (though he suspected it might be John), who is No. 7 in the English Ancestry, and appears
on pp. 31 and 38-41 in that work. Mr. Marvin, however, believed him to be a son of John (M14P-R9X), and
ANCESTRY OF REINOLD AND MATTHEW MARVIN 5
grandson of Roger Mervyn (KNDQ-HCV) of Ipswich; and it has been shown that that belief is erroneous. John
Mervyn Was a man of very considerable wealth. In his will, he disposed of lands and tenements in the parishes
of Ramsey, Great Oakley [Myche or Much Ockley] and Little Oakley., The names of some of his lands were
Janecoxe, Waxe, Bennettes, Rolfes, Nether lands, Gesses, Brandons, and Milkes. He also had interests in the
town of Harwich, which he left to his brother Thomas, a resident of that town. John Mervyn married
MARGARET (L5GX-1NN) -—— , who survived him, and was co-executrix of his will. From the terms of the
will, it is obvious that she was the. mother of all his children. She was undoubtedly the "Widow Marvin"
(L5GX-1NN) who was taxed 153.on her movables at Ramsey in the Lay Subsidy of 1540 (English Ancestry, p.
38). The date of her death is not known.
Children (order uncertain):
5. i. JOHN (9HGG-SBS), "my eldest son," co-executor of his father 's will, of age in 1533, b. (say) 1510.
6. ii. RAYNOLD, REINOLD or RYNALDE (9HW4-1JW), under 21 in 1533, b. (say) 1513.

iv RICHARD (LD79-MML), under 21 in 1533.
v. JOHN the younger (K2JK-9YR), under 21 in 1533.
vi MARGARET (K489-9KR) unmarried in 1533, apparently later m. JOHN COOPER (LT54-C3M),
of Harwich (see English Ancestry, pp. 41, 56, 166, 167). He was buried at St. Nicholas 's Church,
Harwich, 29 July 1580. She was bur. there 20 Dec. 1587, leaving a. will, dated 8 Dec. 1587, which was
proved 24 Jan. 1587/8.
