| 12551 | Will of Jeremiah Bunch 8 March 1796 Bertie, NorthCarolina Son: Henry Bunch, Jeremiah Bunch, Nehemiah Bunch, Frederick Bunch, William Bunch, Nannie Bunch Collins, Jeremiah Bunch Sr and his brother Embrey Bunch were listed as "householders" in Bertie County NC in 1755. Their father Henry Bunch's will is probated in Bertie NC in 1775 and he appears to have done well as he is able to distribute money, possessions and his land and plantation and (sadly) some slaves to his children (Jeremiah, Tomerson, Susannah, Rachel, Nanny and Embrey) and grandchildren (Cader and Zadock) They were all very active in land records of Bertie County from the 1760's onward. They are farmers, planters and plantation owners. Jeremiah Bunch Senior deeded land to his grandson Jeremiah Bunch, son of Jeremiah Bunch Junior. All 3 generations of Jeremiah Bunches lived and died in Bertie Co. They appear to be very religious according to their preponderance of Biblical family names along with the Williams and Henrys. Jeremiah and Nehemiah being very notable. Many of them attended local congregations, gave land and support to and involvement in their churches and at least 2 became ministers. The Jeremiah Bunches belonged to churches that also allowed African Americans as members. Sadly slavery is accepted as ok. Apparently some had an unusual amount of and sophistication of carpentry tools suggesting a possible vocation in carpentry. There is a very nice Jeremiah Bunch Plantation home of about 1800 vintage in Bertie County. Some of the early descendants of Henry and Jeremiah Bunch moved into a variety of states: South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee to name a few. | BUNCH, Jeremiah Sr. (I594769199)

| 12566 | Will: August 03, 1760 Halifax Co., NC Probate: March 1761 Halifax Co., NC Peter Hayes and Martha Sledge are reported by some to have had 12 children one of whom was John Hays. (Once in North Carolina the spelling of the name changed from Hayes to Hays) His son, John Hays and his wife Phebe had at least six children one of whom was another John Hays (1735-1782). Peter joined the migration of settlers pushing south into the great virgin forests of the Tidewater, after the Tuscarora War. From the earliest records it would seem that Peter who homesteaded on Urashaw Swamp, and his sons, were more interested in buying and selling land than in farming. The many grants and estate transfers in which they were involved would indicate that the Hayes men obtained a comfortable living from real estate, or what would be considered comfortable in those frontier days. INFO: Peter Hayes of Urashaw born on the Hayes Blackwater plantation in Isle of Wight Co. Just across the river in Surry County was the plantation of Charles Sledge. Peter married Martha Sledge, daughter of Charles. Peter Hayes was the executor of Mary (Clarke) Sledge's will (Boddie, Southside Va. Families, Vol. I, p. 366). The record of a grant of 640 acres in the Urashaw Swamp region has not been found, but it is mentioned in a land transfer. In 1720 Peter Hayes and his eldest son William were listed as having arms and able to defend the colonies against the Indians. This list constitutes a military roster for Capt. Patterson's company, and was made up of all the male residents of the upper part of Chowan Precinct, an area today found in Hertford and Northampton Counties. (Hathaway, Register, Vol. I, p. 443). His will dated August 3, 1760 and probated in March 1761 in Halifax County, North Carolina, names his wife Martha as executrix and gives each of his younger children five shillings. His wife was to have the estate and to see that the childr4en were educated and cared for. The three eldest children were not mentioned in the will; they had been established with their own families.

| 12567 | Will: May 07, 1678 Isle of Wight Co., VA Probate: March 10, 1678/79 Peter Hayes matriculated at Queens College, Cambridge, England. He then entered Law School and was under the protection of his cousin Thomas Hayes, Lord Mayor of London (1614-1615). Afterwards he became employed by James Hay, Lord Doncaster, who was a Scottish Noble, and held the office of Master of the Wardrobe. James Hay was also a councilor and diplomat. In 1622 James Hay became Earl of Carlisle. In 1628, a dispute arose in the West Indies as to who was the Governor. King James had granted these islands to the Earl of Carlisle, but Phillip Herbert, Lord Montgomery claimed them and had placed an illegal Governor in Barbadoes. King Charles sent a Royal Commission to arrest the illegal Governor, and Peter Hayes was appointed envoy with the Royal Comission to the West Indies. The work of the Commission ended in 1640 and Peter Hayes continued on to Virginia where his father was already established on Pagan Creek, (Southern Genealogies #1, Historical Southern Families, Vol. XV, FTM CD 191) //////////////////// Will of Peter Hayes W: 07 May 1768 P: 10 Mar 1678 Leg: mother Sister: Ann Cornish Reversion to my cousin Thomas Bevan (Son of Thomas Bevan).

He lived his life on the Blackwater River and he was employed by Robert Flake, one of the wealthiest men of Virginia. He married Elizabeth Flake, dau of Robert. He left a will probated March 1720/21.

He lived his life on the Blackwater River, that waterway which flows directly south to North Carolina. At maturity he was employed by Robert Flake Sr., a wealthy landowner. Robert Flake is said to have been one of the richest men in Isle of Wight County (Boddie, Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight Co., p 202.) Peter Hayse married Elizabeth Flake about the year 1669. Peter left his will, probated Mar 1720/21. There is also a deed of gift from Robert Flake Sr [Deed dated Aug 16 1691] wherein he gives 200 acres to each of his three grandsons: Robert, Samuel, and Peter Hayes. Robert Flake d ca 1698. These parcels of land were located on "the second swamp of the Blackwater". The Quit Rent Roll for Isle of Wight County, 1704, shows Peter Hayes paying taxes-rent on another 600 acres which seems to have been the dowry of his mother, Elizabeth Flake.

Marriage 3 Nov 1695 in Newport Parish, Isle of Wight. Virginia. Married Martha Flake, Daughter of Robert Flake IV. Brother of Samuel Hayes ( first of three) 1685-1728, Arthur Hayes 1691-1776, Katherine Hayes 1696-____, Richard Hayes 1700- 1766. Samuel Hayes I, died near Jonestown Road, before 4 Jan 1728. Arthur Hayes died near Jonestown Road in 1776. Richard Hayes died after 6 April 1747 on Three Creeks, Surry County, Virginia. In 1720 Peter Hayes becomes a planter ( sharecropper) for William Brasswell and Hardy Councell both living in the Isle of Wight area. On 10 November 1721, Peters father, Peter Hayes III dies on the Hayes Blackwater plantation (present day Jonestown Road) where his wife Elizabeth was given 600 acres to be divided between three sons after her death. In 1720, Peter Hayes, Samuel Hayes, and Peter's son William Hayes they follow Braswell, Hardy Councell, and William Bennett south into Chowan Precinct. On 13 August 1728, Peter Hayes is listed on a deed of William Brasswell who is the next door neighbor to the East of Hardy Councell On Plaquet Branch ( Dick Harmony Road). Peter is working as a planter on the plantations on Urahah Swamp and nearby plantations. Sometime in 1728 Peter is deeded / Paid 100 acres on Plaquet Branch and Antonkey Marsh (Dick Harmony Road on Urahah Swamp) for planting work he has done for Hardy Councell, (the property is basically worthless swamp land that adjoins the plaquet Branch Swamp following the swamp up to the west border of William Brasswell on Urahah Swamp). Peter Hayes realizes that he has been swindled by Hardy Councell and leaves and moves to three Creeks in virginia. On 4 January 1731, Peter buyes 100 acres from James Atkinson. Peter sends word to his brother Richard in Chowan that he needs help to work his patent. On 8 May 1733, Hardy Councell aknowledges the sale of 100 acres to Peter Hayes on Plaquet Branch. On 19 August 1733, Peter Hayes' mother dies on the Hayes Blackwater Plantation. Peter Hayes and his brother Richard are living on Three Creeks. On 9 November 1736 a petition was read in Bertie Precinct in open Court. concerning the taxation of worthless swampland on Plaquet Branch. On 22 Feb 1743, Peter Hayes is finally able to sell his 100 acres to John Sherrard. On 22 Sep 1743, Peter Hayes and his Brother in law withness a land deal on Three Creeks, Surry, Virginia. On 6 April 1747 Peter witnesses a 185 acre deed from his brother Richard Hayes to Joseph Tharp. Richard Dies soon afterward. On 20 Sept 1784, Peter gets awarded a land patent of 130 acres adjoining his 100 acres on Three Creeks. Peter begins to have debts pile up. On 6 March 1749, Peter was forced to sell 100 acres of his 230 acre tract to Henry Ivey Jr. 13 March 1754, Peter Hayes IV became heavily indebted to John Frances Hilliard and for partial payment of debts, sold his remaining 130 acres to him. Peter and Martha Hayes due to poverty were forced to go live with Peters son Reuben Hayes in Halifax. After Peter's death on 1 Mar 1761, he was still heavily indebted to John Francis Hilliard and in 1786 ( some 25 years later) at the estate closure of his grand-son Arthur Hayes, Peter's debts were finally paid in full. It has been rumored that Peter Hayes IV lived on Cashey Swamp, however that is not the case. The Peter Hayes that lived on Cashey Swamp who married Bether (Beatrice) Watson. was the son of Thomas Hayes and Sarah his wife. Who also had a son named Richard. And Thomas Hayes (1706) and John Hayes (1705), the John Hayes Planter who gifted Jesse Hayes, Son of Arthur Hayes and Mary Winborne 100 Acres on Urahah Swamp in 1778, the same John and Thomas Hayes that bought land in Elk Marsh, Halifax, North Carolina, were the sons of Peter Hayes IV. Sawyer Hayes, was also the son of Peter Hayes.

| 12571 | William Arnold (24 June 1587 – c. 1676) was one of the founding settlers of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, and he and his sons were among the wealthiest people in the colony. He was raised and educated in England where he was the warden of St. Mary's, the parish church of Ilchester in southeastern Somerset. He immigrated to New England with family and associates in 1635. He initially settled in Hingham in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but he soon relocated to the new settlement of Providence Plantation with Roger Williams. He was one of the 13 original proprietors of Providence, appearing on the deed signed by Roger Williams in 1638, and was one of the 12 founding members of the first Baptist church to be established in America. After living in Providence for about two years, Arnold moved with his family and others to the north side of the Pawtuxet River forming a settlement commonly called Pawtuxet, later a part of Cranston, Rhode Island. He and his fellow settlers had serious disputes with their Warwick neighbors on the south side of the river and, as a result, separated themselves from the Providence government, putting themselves under the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. This separation from Providence lasted for 16 years, and Arnold was appointed to keep the peace as the head of the settlement. He died sometime during the great turmoil of King Philip's War in 1675 or 1676. His son Benedict succeeded Roger Williams as President of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations in 1657, and he became the first Governor of the colony under the royal charter of 1663. | ARNOLD, William (I594766953)

| 12573 | William Ball arrived in America on the English ship "Planter" about April 1635 with his six sons - Alling, Francis, John, Samuel, Richard and William according to "The Name AND Family of BALL", compiled by The Research Bureau of Washington, DC (page 21) and affirmed by a genealogist with the Institute of American Genealogy of Chicago. Some sources state incorrectly that William of Lincoln's Inn was also married to Dorothy Tuttle. Our majority of sources dispute this and record Dorothy married to William's son Alling Sr. [SOURCE: Larry Chesebro' - CHESEBRO' GENEALOGY] One of four Attorneys in the office of pleas in the Exchequer. Capt. Ball married three times first to Joanna King, second to Dorothy Tuttle and third to Alice Waltham. | BALL, Capt. William (I2646)
|
| 12574 | William Ball was born in 1615, studied law in London and served in the Royal Army in the Civil Wars under Charles I. With the regicide in 1650, he lost the greater part of his English estates and fled to Virginia. He had married Hannah Atherall (Atherold) 2 July 1638 in London and immigrated to Virginia with his wife and three children--Hannah, Joseph, and William. He did not apply for a land grant in Virginia for eight years, waiting for the restoration of the 1660 Stuart kings. He settled in Narrow Neck (now Ball Point) on the west side of the Corrotoman River in 1663. Ball operated the vessel Merchant between England and Virginia as a tobacco merchant. He acquired 2000 acres in Virginia, served on an Indian peace-treaty council, and administered Lancaster County affairs as a Colonel. He built a Georgian mansion, Millenbeck, and led the defense of the county to help quell Bacon's Rebellion. One of his land grants for 300 acres adjoined the land of Daniel Fox, who married his daughter Hannah. He was a Warden of Christ Church in Lancaster and also owned land in Rappahannock County. He served as a Burgess from 1699-1173 and was George Washington's great grandfather. ? He died at Millenbeck in 1680 and left his estate to his wife and two sons. THE BALL FAMILY FROM THE MT. VERNON LIBRARY: The Ball family line connects to George Washington through his maternal lineage. The first member of the Ball family to come to America was George Washington's great-grandfather, William Ball (1615- c.1680). In Virginia, Ball began acquiring land, engaging in commerce, and taking part in colonial politics. He served as a major in the militia of Lancaster County, Virginia, and as a member of the House of Burgesses from 1668 until 1676 and again from 1676 to 1677.

In the 2nd of King John [1201], he had special license to make a park at Stoke, in Northampton, and liberty to hunt the fox and hare (it lying within the royal forest of Rockingham). Afterwards, however, he took up arms with the other barons and, leaving Belvoir well fortified, he assumed the governorship of Rochester Castle, which he held out for three months against the Royalists, and ultimately only surrendered when reduced to the last state of famine. Upon the surrender of Rochester, William Albini was sent prisoner to Corfe Castle, and there detained until his freedom became one of the conditions upon which Belvoir capitulated, and until he paid a ransom of 6,000 marks. In the reign of Henry III, we find him upon the other side and a principal commander at the battle of Lincoln, anno 1217, where his former associates sustained so signal a defeat.

He was accordingly, on 28 June 1483, created EARL OF NOTTINGHAM, while, on the same day, Lord Howard was created Duke of Norfolk and Earl Marshal. At the coronation of Henry VII, 30 October 1485, he was Bearer of the Third Sword, having been created joint Lord High Steward and Earl Marshal for the occasion. On 19 February 1485/6 he was created EARL MARSHAL and GREAT MARSHAL OF ENGLAND, with remaider to the heirs male of his body. On 9 November 1487 he was joint Lord High Steward at the coronation of Elizabeth, the Queen Consort.

Of his inheritance from his mother's family he gave over 50 manors to King Henry VII. William was challenged to battle by Viscount Lisle, heir of the Earl of Shrewsbury. In the last battle between private hosts on English soil, the battle of Nibbley Green, the Viscount was defeated and killed by William's superior forces, including archers from the forest of Dean. William's forces rode at once to Wooton, to sack the place. The Viscount's widow promptly miscarried, and so the direct Talbot line ended. This finally ended the dispute between the two families. William became Lord Berkeley, Earl Marshal of England, Earl of Nottingham, Viscount Dursley, Marquis of Berkeley, and probably lots of other things as well. He outlived his three children, but then disinherited his brother because he had "married beneath him"; an Alderman's daughter named Isabel Meade. He left Berkeley Castle and its estates to the crown for 'entail male', which meant that only with the extinction of the Royal male line on the death of King Edward VI (-1553) did the Castle revert once more to the Berkeley line. My own person feelings about this man are that given the events surrounding the end of the Plantagenet line, and the start of the Tudors, with Henry VII's victory at Bosworth, and his subsequent ruthless purging of all those who stood in his way, it would not be surprising to find that William found himself with little choice but to make over the bulk of his wealth to the King's line. | BERKELEY, Lord William (I13428)

| 12587 | William de Braose, 3rd Lord of Bramber (fl. 1135– 1179) was a 12th-century Marcher lord who secured a foundation for the dominant position later held by the Braose family in the Welsh Marches. In addition to the family's English holdings in Sussex and Devon, William had inherited Radnor and Builth, in Wales, from his father Philip. By his marriage he increased the Braose Welsh holdings to include Brecon and Abergavenny. William remained loyal to King Stephen during the 12th-century period of civil war. He became a trusted royal servant during the subsequent reign of Henry II, accompanying the king on campaigns in France and Ireland. He served as sheriff of Herefordshire from 1173 until 1175. The family's power reached its peak under his son William during the reigns of kings Richard I and John. Lands and family William was the eldest son of Philip de Braose, lord of Bramber. His mother was Aenor, daughter of Juhel of Totnes. He was the third in the line of the Anglo-Norman Braose family founded by his grandfather, the first William de Braose. After his father died in the 1130s William inherited lordships, land and castles in Sussex, with his caput at Bramber. He also held Totnes in Devon, and Radnor and Builth in the Welsh Marches. He confirmed the grants of his father and grandfather to the abbey of St Florent in Anjou and made further grants to the abbey's dependent priory at Sele in Sussex. In about 1155, he also inherited through his mother's family one half of the honour of Barnstaple in Devon, paying a fee of 1,000 marks for the privilege. William became an internationally recognised figure. When Archbishop Theobald of Canterbury was asked by Pope Adrian IV to inquire into the background of a certain Walter, canon of St Ruf, his reply, dated to 1154/9 read: The facts which you demand need but little enquiry; for they shine so brightly in themselves that they cannot be hid; so great is the brilliance of his noble birth and the glory of all his kin. For Walter, as we know for a fact, was the son of a distinguished knight and born of a noble mother in lawful wedlock, and he is closely related by blood to the noble William de Braose. Marriage William had married Bertha, daughter of Miles of Gloucester and Sibyl de Neufmarché, by 1150. When each of Bertha's four brothers (Walter de Hereford, Henry FitzMiles (or Henry de Hereford), Mahel de Hereford and William de Hereford) died leaving no issue, William's marriage became unexpectedly valuable. He gained control of the lordships of Brecon and Abergavenny after 1166 when the last brother died. These additional land holdings greatly expanded the territorial power and income of the Braose family. They now held a vast block of territory in the Welsh Marches as well as their extensive interests in Sussex and Devon. William's daughters were able to make good marriages, notably 1. Sibyl to William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby. 2. Maud was married to John de Brompton of Shropshire. 3. William's son and heir, another William de Braose, became a major player in national politics under King John. Royal service Empress Maud, the only legitimate living child of Henry I, landed in England in 1139 in an attempt to press her claim to the monarchy. She was soon besieged by King Stephen's forces at Arundel Castle. Stephen allowed Maud a safe conduct to Bristol and provided her with an escort, which included William de Braose, suggesting that he was an adherent of King Stephen. William was present as a witness when three charters were issued by Stephen at Lewes dated to the years 1148– 53, therefore it appears that he remained loyal to the king until the Treaty of Wallingford ended the hostilities. William was in Sussex in 1153, but he followed Duke Henry, soon to become King Henry II, to Normandy in 1154. William was frequently with the new king. He was one of the military leaders who supported Henry at Rhuddlan in 1157. He witnessed one of the king's charters at Romsey in 1158, and he is recorded at the king's court in Wiltshire in 1164 when the Constitutions of Clarendon were enacted. He accompanied the king on expedition to France, witnessing at Leons in 1161 and Chinon in 1162. William is also documented on the Irish campaign at Dublin in 1171 and Wexford 1172. William's younger brother, Philip, also accompanied the king to Ireland, and remained with the garrison at Wexford. In 1177 Philip was granted the kingdom of Limerick by Henry but failed to take possession after the citizens set fire to the town. When Henry was facing war with his sons in 1173, William was appointed as sheriff of Herefordshire at Easter. He maintained the king's interests in Herefordshire until 1175. Later life and death King Henry withdrew his favour from the family after William's son organised the murder of Seisyll ap Dyfnwal and other Welsh princes at Abergavenny in 1176. There is little subsequent record of William in public life, and it is likely that he retired to his estates in Sussex.

| 12591 | William emigrated to America, about 1642. He died in 1697, aged 90 years. William is believed traditionally to be the son of James Haviland (1553 - 1613), Mayor of Salisbury, England, and Thomassine Maindonail (ca 1560 - 1641). [1] The only evidence cited is a Christening record in 7 Sep 1606 at St. Thomas's, Salisbury, Wiltshire, England for a "William Havelan." (James had other children by a previous marriage.) This relationship has been debated, with James' brother Thomas being proffered as an alternative father. See Haviland Family Mysteries. Due to full consideration of all the facts, this profile will, for the time being, maintain William as the son of James until more evidence and information can be found and analyzed. Marriage William appears to have married Hannah Hicks ca 1652, a daughter of John and Horodias (Long) Hicks (a couple who suffered a divorce of notoriety) at Newport, Rhode Island William Haviland emigrated to America between 1639 - 1646, but probably closer to 1639-1640, for in 1646 he was listed as a Church Warden in Newport, R.I. [citation needed] He was recorded as a freeman of Newport in 1653, along with Benedict Arnold (the eventual president and then governor of Rhode Island). In 1655 he was received as Freeman from Newport in a General Election held at Providence, R.I. [4], very likely to re-elect Roger Williams as President of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, with whom William's views were almost certainly in alignment given his immigration to specifically Rhode Island and his religious beliefs. On 21 May 1656 he was listed as a Commissioner to the General Court at Portsmouth, R.I., from Newport. [4] This station should be understood within the context of the political and religious context of Rhode Island at that time. "While many arrived seeking freedom from religious persecution, unfortunately it continued, and by 1656 some newly arrived Quakers were quite expressive and extreme and sought to exasperate that conflict. William Haviland's colleague Benedict Arnold succeeded Roger Williams as the President of the Colonies, and was forced to respond to these matters. William Haviland, while not a Quaker at this time, was arguably Protestant and probably distressed by the events of that year, given that in the last two generations of his family there were persecutions of Protestants in England. And so he became involved in the local politics wherein the separation of Church and State and freedom of religious expression, for which Roger Williams was a strong proponent and probably William Haviland also, was a major issue There is a reference to grants by Pettaquamscutt land purchases to William Haviland on 1 May 1663. [12] William then removed to Long Island, ca 1667, for in that year he purchased 100 acres of land from his brother-in-law, Thomas Hicks, on what is now Little Neck, (then called "Cornbury"). [4] On 24 Mar 1685 he signed the renewal-charter of the Patent of Flushing, as did his wife's brother Thomas Hicks. (Flushing is now a township in the borough of Queens, New York, NY.) "The first patent of Incorporation of the Town of Flushing was granted by the Dutch Governor, William Keift, and was dated October 10th, 1645. This was renewed under the English authority. The renewal-charter was dated March 24th, 1685. These manuscripts were probably lost in the fire [of October, 1789, as they were kept in the house of the John Vanderbilt, the Town Clerk, set ablaze deliberately by his slaves]. The only manuscript the Town has, relative to its Incorporation, is termed an "Exemplification of Flushing Patent." It is dated Feb. 24th, 1792; one hundred and seven years after the renewal by the English, and one hundred and forty-seven years after the original grant by the Dutch authorities. We found it in possession of Capt. George B. Roe, who kindly placed a copy at our disposal. It is only sixty-seven years old [as of 1859], but already many parts are nearly obliterated and can with difficulty be deciphered." [13] William Haviland's name was preserved in this document, as it was a reproduction of the renewal charter of 1685. A "Joseph Havyland" also signed the document. He may be Joseph, son of William. The Will of Benedict Arnold William Haviland is mentioned by name in the will of Benedict Arnold, the Governor of Newport, R.I., wherein we find evidence that Arnold purchased land from Haviland and had neighboring (or nearby) property: ...and to her heirs and assigns to have and to hold, possess and enjoy as her and their own true rights and lawful inheritance forever, that is to say, ye lands and tenements hereafter mentioned, namely: ye house and two acres of land, be it more or less, that I bought of William Haviland, being and lying in ye precincts of ye town of Newport, above said, bounded on ye South and on ye East parts on land now or later in the possession of Thomas Clifton or his assigns, on ye West by a highway belonging to said town, and on ye North by land that I have bequeathed to my son Josias Arnold, and I order ye said line of fence to be made and forever maintained by ye occupants of ye premises which I bought of Wm.

Summoned to Parliament (a) on 3 December 1441 as Earl of Arundel (b). Justice in Eyre of all forests south of the Trent 1459-61 and 1483-85. Took part with the Yorkists in their defeat at the second battle of St. Albans, 17 February 1461. On 1 May 1471, he was Constable of Dover Castle, and the Warden of the Cinque Ports, and again 1483 till his death. K.G. 1471. He assisted as Pincerna at the coronation of Richard III, as also as that of Henry VII, which King received knighthood at his hands shortly before that ceremony. He founded the "Arundel Mass" [by gift of the manor of Aynho, co. Northampton] to be celebrated at Magd. Coll., Oxford. He married, after 17 August 1438 [when his marriage was granted to his future father-in-law], Joan, 1st daughter of Richard [Nevill], Earl of Salisbury, by Alice, suo jure Countess of Salisbury. She [who was a sister of Richard, Earl of Warwick] died shortly before 9 September 1462, and was buried at Arundel. He died there late in 1487, in his 71st year and was buried there. [Complete Peerage I:248-9, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] (a) This summons was not till eight years after the admission (1433) which confirmed the Earldom of Arundel to the Fitz Alan family. The delay is accounted for by the absence in France of Earl John, and the minority of his successor [Hymphrey]. It is probable, also, that this William may have been summoned some two or three years earlier, bu the lists of summones from 1438 to 1441 are unfortunately lost. (b) PRECEDENCY of the EARLS of ARUNDEL. In 1446 Thomas Courtenay, Earl of Devon, challenged the precedence of the Earl of Arundel. The decision of the King, with consent of the Lords of Parliament, was "that William, now Earl of Arundel, have, keep, and enjoy his seat, place and pre-eminence in the High Court of Parliament, and in the King's Councils and elsewhere in the King's high presence, as Earl of Arundel, by reason of the Castle, Honour and Lordship of Arundel, as worshipfully as ever did any of his ancestors, Earls of Arundel, afore his time, above the said Earl of Devonshire and his heirs, without letting, challenge or interruption of the said Earl of Devonshire or of his heirs or of any other person." "Thus ended," adds Canon Tierney, "a controversy which, in its results, confirmed this Parliamentary decision of 1433 and established the Earldom in its original supremacy of honour above every other similar title of dignity." | FITZALAN, William 16th Earl Of Arundel, Kg, Sir (I14325)

| 12594 | William Francis Holcomb, and his discovery received the appropriate name Holcomb Valley. Holcomb Valley’s principal town Belleville, during the Civil war years, ranked second or third in population for Southern California. In addition to being a prospector Bill Holcomb was a noted hunter, and because of the accuracy of his rifle Holcomb was chosen to supply meat for the Bear Valley miners. It was on one of these hunting trips that Holcomb crossed over the mountains at the south side of Bear Valley and shot bears in the little valley beyond. After shooting three grizzlies in as many attempts Holcomb was chagrined when his fourth shot only wounded a bear. It ran off leaving a trail of blood. The next day Holcomb and a companion returned to track the wounded grizzly which they found dead a short distance away. Ever the prospector, Holcomb paused to chip at a piece of soft rock, which to his surprise contained sizable chunks of gold. He staked out a claim, butchered the bear, and returned to camp jubilant over his discovery. Files in the office of County Recorder Ted R. Carpenter show that on May 5, 1860, William Francis Holcomb and Ben Ware located five gold claims in Holcomb Valley, five mile north of Bear Valley. That was the start of the Holcomb Valley gold rush. Holcomb, a native of Indiana, had come to California at the height of the gold rush. His party had encountered more than the usual hardships enroute, losing both wagons and oxen. He reached California on foot. After unprofitable attempts at mining in the High Sierra and later in the Kern River field Holcomb and a companion Jack Martin, reached Los Angeles. There they heard of the Bear Valley diggings near San Bernardino. Holcomb and Martin set out determined to make one more try at mining. All the way from Los Angeles they inquired about Bear Valley, but none they asked had heard of the place. At Lytle Creek they stopped at George Lord’s ranch. George told them that there was such a place as Bear Valley and that if they ascended the Santa Ana River Canyon they would find it. Near the mouth of the Santa Ana they encountered F.M. (Mack) Van Luven who had helped outfit several miners for the rough trail. Holcomb and Martin had to force their horses through deep snow to reach the Bear Valley diggings which were at Converse Flats. They found a discouraged group of diggers, and already Bear Valley had been dubbed “Starvation Flats”. Fortunately, soon after Holcomb’s arrival one of the miners panned some earth from under the pine trees a few hundred feet up the slope. The hillside proved for a time a comparative bonanza and probably saved the Bear Valley diggings from abandonment prior to the Holcomb Valley discovery. Word that the Bear Valley diggings had petered out had already reached San Bernardino when one day the miners chipped in and sent Martin to town for flour. Martin bought his flour at the Meyerstein store. His paying for it with gold dust started half the men in San Bernardino for the diggings, which then included the even richer sand and shale’s of Holcomb Valley. In July and August a real gold rush was on in the Holcomb Valley. In September, Sidney Waite, who had been mining in Bear Valley since March moved over to Arrastre Creek and started mining on squartz ledges. Winter reduced the miners to short rations. Spring not only brought the bear out of hibernation but also the biggest gold rush southern California had seen. The Bear Valley diggings were practically deserted as numerous rich strikes were made up and down Holcomb Valley where one had only to scratch the surface to pan out a good day’s wages. These miners referred to their new claims as being in “The Valley of Holcomb”. The incomplete surveys of the period did not include this new valley much less give it a name. As location notices flooded the recorder’s office the place named “Holcomb Valley” was soon written in large letters on San Bernardino county geography. The fame of the new gold region spread far more rapidly than one might expect in the day of slow transportation and just as slow communication. Not even the steep pack trail up Santa Ana canyon deterred the gold hunters of 1860. Van Luven’s ranch near canyon mouth was passed by three or four parties of gold seekers daily. With the miners came the camp followers of all description intent on making a fast dollar. Soon the sprawling town of Belleville boasted a motley collection of saloons and dance halls as well as stores and a couple of blacksmith shops. Clustered around were the cabins of miners, the first ones built with no thought of parallel streets. Most of the cabins were of logs with two bunk beds hung on the wall. In addition to a considerable number of genuine Confederate sympathizers it is said that the cause of secession drew both lip and gun service from many in Holcomb Valley who were happy to take any stand that gave an excuse to oppose constituted authority. The miners didn’t welcome this ill-assorted group which their gold attracted. Claim jumping was common, but still the living juniper at Arrastre Flats give mute evidence that the honest miners often succeeded in maintaining their legitimate claims. A colorful sidelighting on the time was found in a long preserved notice which reads “Joe Brown takes his ground. Jumpers will be shot.” It was not unusual either for a miner ti sight someone nearer his claim than he considered necessary and shoot without asking questions. If by chance the shot proved fatal the common defense would be that the victim had been mistaken for someone else. Law and order had no easy path in those days. No one asked a man’s name and the early records of Belleville township are filled with such nicknames as Greek George, Red River Jake, Hard Rock Hank, Charlie the Chink, and others which successfully hid the identity of the individual. By the fall of 1861 Holcomb Valley had become something of an indefinite term applied to a number of adjoining valleys. Rich placer diggings were found farther down the creek in what is now known as lower Holcomb Valley. Upstream, Arrastre Flats was popular with the hard rock or quartz miners. There was a placer gold in paying quantity along Arrastre creek. An early recorded sale notes that Sidney Waite disposed of Arrastre creek claims through Dr. David Noble Smith, founder of the first Arrowhead Springs sanitarium, and his partner Horace Rolfe, the latter an early superior court judge. Waite then moved to Van Dusen Flats where his location notices served to start another extensive field of placer operation. Later, Waite became the publisher of a pioneer San Bernardino newspaper. It remained for a miner named Elias Jackson Baldwin to first stake claims in Van Dusen canyon and to give the region a nationwide reputation. He was the “Lucky” Baldwin, later of Santa Ana, who developed the Gold Hill mine with it’s 100 stamp mill. Near Gold Mountain rose the town of Dable. Also nearby was a town that existed only on paper in an early lot-selling scheme whose recorded maps are spelled both as “Bairsdtown” and “Beardstown”. When the Holcomb Valley region began numbering it’s residents in the thousands the steep and narrow trail up Santa Ana canyon to Bear Valley and thence north to Holcomb Valley either via Van Dusen or Polique canyon was far from adequate as a supply route. Typical of the period the miners banded together and hired a town blacksmith, Jed Van Dusen, to build a road. Van Dusen agreed to build the road for $1,500. A subscription list was started with Holcomb and his partners heading it with the largest contribution. The Van Dusen road ran to the west and to the northwest, first along the side of the mountain past Garvey’s Green Lead mine then dropped down the canyon by Coxey’s ranch and Rock Springs. From Rock Springs it crossed the desert for 12 miles to the site of Hesperia, where it turned south to connect with the terminus of John Brown’s toll road through Cajon Pass. Even before Van Dusen’s road had been completed, wheeled vehicles began entering Holcomb Valley piled high with lumber, merchandise, and provisions. Belleville, the town named for Van Dusen’s daughter Belle, was considerably larger than San Bernardino and it was not long before some of its residents decided it should become the county seat. An election was held on September 4, 1861. Research indicates that in all probability a majority of the county voters chose Belleville over San Bernardino; but the official returns, which are fragmentary, do not so indicate. These official returns, by the way, indicate that the entire vote of one Belleville precinct was missing. This is explained by the oft-told pioneer’s story that the ballots were counted around a bonfire at the courthouse in San Bernardino and that during the tally, either by accident, or by design, one ballot box was kicked into the bonfire. It is evident that the burned box was that of the missing Belleville precinct. With the vote of this precinct missing, San Bernardino retained the seat of the county government by a margin of only two votes. Though the perspective of nearly 95 years it is interesting to speculate on what might have happened had Belleville been declared the county seat of San Bernardino county. During the Fall of 1861 and throughout the following year the region served as a rendezvous for irregular Calvary ostensibly recruited to join the confederate armies. This secessionist element was in informal alliances with other lawless groups and together they were in actual control of the gold region for a considerable period. County officials and their deputies, particularly the sheriff, thought twice before interfering. Crime was prominent; no one interfered if shootings were confined to the lawless element. But even during the roughest days miners united when one of their own number had been selected as a victim. Greek George whom records indicate was the king pin of the gamblers ran a notorious honky-tonk. He was surrounded by numerous gunmen. During the Fourth of July celebration in 1860 George killed three men, one of whom he suspected of sawing the horns off a bull pitted in a bull and bear fight. George’s second victim was a bystander who injudiciously cheered when George’s horse came in second in a match race. His third victim of the day was an inoffensive Chinese cook whom George shot, but in turn fatally stabbed the bully before dying. Both George and his third victim of the day are buried at the base of “The Tree of the Living Cross”. George’s death ended Holcomb Valley’s reign of terror. Peaceable citizens were tired of having their cabins and tents punctured by wild shots at all hours. Two members of George’s gang who outstayed their welcome were hanged from Arrastre Flat’s famous juniper. Placer mining in the region continued into the 1870s. Several quartz mines have been operated at various times in the present century. William Frances Holcomb who had been born in Tippecanoe county Indiana January 27, 1831, was elected the first justice of the peace at Belleville. He soon resigned to devote more time to his mines. He returned to San Bernardino in the fall of 1861 only to have house destroyed by the flood of 1862. Left destitute by the flood he went back to the mountains where he spent the summer in mining which proved profitable enough for him to pay his debts on the home he lost in the flood. In 1863 he removed temporarily to Arizona where he stayed for over a year mining and hunting in the vicinity of Prescott. On his return to San Bernardino he worked in mountain lumber camps for four years until his election as county assessor in 1871, an office he held for three terms. In 1882 he again entered politics and was elected county clerk. Following his service as assessor and county clerk Holcomb entered business in San Bernardino. He married Miss Nancy Stewart in 1860 and had five sons and two daughters. Many of his descendents are numbered among San Bernardino Valley’s foremost citizens. It is a well authenticated story about an incident in Holcomb’s service as assessor which illustrates the character of this quiet leader who did things well with little shouting. It seams that the Southern Pacific objected to its assessment and refused to pay its tax bill. Holcomb and one deputy drove over to Colton armed with a log chain. padlock, and a writ of attachment. These they affixed to the railroad’s yard engine, and drove off with out saying a word. Two hours later a foam-flecked livery team was driven up to the San Bernardino courthouse. Out jumped an SP official with a draft for the railroad’s taxes. Holcomb had collected them without wasting a single word in the procedure. | HOLCOMB, William Francis "Bill" (I19094)

Nathainelwas a prisoner in Bermuda for 14 month ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following was excerpted from the book "Millard Fillmore Biography ofa President by By Robert J. Rayback" Only a few years before his birth, his father and mother, Nathaniel andPhoebe Fillmore, had been in the vanguard of a great westward migration.They had been only two among the hopeful-thousands who had crossed theAppalachian Mountains, east of which the nation had huddled for nearlytwo centuries. They had added their day-to-day activities to those ofothers to make the great central plateau and valley of the continentburgeon with homemaking, lumbering, farming, road and canal building,cotton growing, and moral and political reform. Later generations were to look with awe and wonder at their ancestors'tremendous re-creation of civilization. Yet the Fiflmores, like otherpioneers, had not sought heroism. Rather a combination of slicksalesmanship and personal frustration had tricked them into abandoningtheir native New England for a fresh start in a region only recentlyfreed of bloody Indian wars. The Fillmores were more prone to curse thancelebrate the events that had pushed them into this wilderness. During the Revolution, New York had set aside nearly one and one-halfmillion acres of land in central New York to pay bonuses promised its warveterans. Few qualified veterans ever settled in the reserved area. Likethe remainder of New York's vast twelve-million-acre public domain, thisMilitary Tract, too, had passed quickly into the hands of real estatepromoters. The process was common throughout the nation, and the salesmenof these land promoters traveled the globe for customers. FarmerNathaniel Fillmore, whose stone-strewn lands near Bennington, Vermont,gave little hope for the future, fell easy prey to a land agent's glowingpicture of the fertility of central New York's Military Tract. In 1799 heand his brother Calvin purchased sight unseen, a farm in Locke township,Cayuga County. Expectations of a better life had warmed them to the back-breaking tasksof clearing fields and raising a cabin while their wives filled thechinks between the logs. Yet their anticipations were ill-founded.Instead of fertile loam, the Fillmore brothers found unyielding clay.Instead of prosperity, they found poverty. For Nathaniel the birth of Millard was a brief distraction from mountingmisfortunes. To his woes of poor crops, poor weather, and a crowded cabinwas added a defective land title a common frontier ailment that waspeculiarly vicious in the Military Tract. Faulty surveys, claim-jumping,ignorance, and downright chicanery had so confused the region's legaltitles that the state sent a team of commissioners to review and settleall land titles in the area. The Fillmore brothers, unable to defendtheir ownership against the commissioners' findings, packed theirfamilies and few belongings on the farm wagon and moved a few miliesnorth to Sempronius. William Henshaw and his family took up land in Milton Township, Cayuga Cojust a few miles from the Fillmore's prior to 1796. James and Joshuamarried in that area in 1801 and moved to Aurora Township, Erie County afew years later. The Fillmore Family also moved to Aurora Township, ErieCounty about 1822. | HENSHAW, William Lt. (I17515)

| 12599 | William I (of England), called The Conqueror (1024-1087), first Norman king of England (1066-1087), who has been called one of the first modern kings and is generally regarded as one of the outstanding figures in western European history. Born in Falaise, France, William was the illegitimate son of Robert I, duke of Normandy, and Arletta, a tanner's daughter, and is therefore sometimes called William the Bastard. Upon the death of his father, the Norman nobles, honoring their promise to Robert, accepted William as his successor. Rebellion against the young duke broke out almost immediately, however, and his position did not become secure until 1047 when, with the aid of Henry I, king of France, he won a decisive victory over a rebel force near Caen. During a visit in 1051 to his childless cousin, Edward the Confessor, king of England, William is said to have obtained Edward's agreement that he should succeed to the English throne. In 1053, defying a papal ban, William married Matilda of Flanders, daughter of Baldwin V, count of Flanders and a descendant of King Alfred the Great, thereby strengthening his claim to the crown of England. Henry I, fearing the strong bond between Normandy (Normandie) and Flanders resulting from the marriage, attempted in 1054 and again in 1058 to crush the powerful duke, but on both occasions William defeated the French king's forces. About 1064, the powerful English noble, Harold, earl of Wessex, was shipwrecked on the Norman coast and taken prisoner by William. He secured his release by swearing to support William's claim to the English throne. When King Edward died, however, the witenagemot (royal council) elected Harold king. Determined to make good his claim, William secured the sanction of Pope Alexander II for a Norman invasion of England. The duke and his army landed at Pevensey on September 28, 1066. On October 14, the Normans defeated the English forces at the celebrated Battle of Hastings, in which Harold was slain. William then proceeded to London, crushing the resistance he encountered on the way. On Christmas Day he was crowned king of England in Westminster Abbey. The English did not accept foreign rule without a struggle. William met the opposition, which was particularly violent in the north and west, with strong measures; he was responsible for the devastation of great areas of the country, particularly in Yorkshire, where Danish forces had arrived to aid the Saxon rebels. By 1070 the Norman conquest of England was complete. William invaded Scotland in 1072 and forced the Scottish king Malcolm III MacDuncan to pay him homage. During the succeeding years the Conqueror crushed insurrections among his Norman followers, including that incited in 1075 by Ralph de Guader, 1st earl of Norfolk, and Roger Fitzwilliam, earl of Hereford, and a series of uprisings in Normandy led by his eldest son Robert, who later became Robert II, duke of Normandy. BIOGRAPHY: Acceded: 25 Dec 1066 Reigned 1066-1087. Duke of Normandy 1035-1087. Invaded England defeated and killed his rival Harold at the Battle of Hastings and became King. The Norman conquest of England was completed by 1072 aided by the establishment of feaudalism under which his followers were granted land in return for pledges of service and loyalty. As King William was noted for his efficient if harsh rule. His administration relied upon Norman and other foreign personnell especially Lanfranc Archbishop of Canterbury. In 1085 started Domesday Book. William I (c. 1028 – 9 September 1087), usually known as William the Conqueror and sometimes William the Bastard, was the first Norman monarch of England, reigning from 1066 until his death in 1087. By 1060, following a long struggle to establish his throne, his hold on Normandy was secure. In 1066, following the death of Edward the Confessor, William invaded England, leading an army of Normans to victory over the Anglo-Saxon forces of Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings, and suppressed subsequent English revolts in what has become known as the Norman Conquest. The rest of his life was marked by struggles to consolidate his hold over England and his continental lands, and by difficulties with his eldest son, Robert Curthose. William was the son of the unmarried Duke Robert I of Normandy and his mistress Herleva. His illegitimate status and his youth caused some difficulties for him after he succeeded his father, as did the anarchy which plagued the first years of his rule. During his childhood and adolescence, members of the Norman aristocracy battled each other, both for control of the child duke, and for their own ends. In 1047, William was able to quash a rebellion and begin to establish his authority over the duchy, a process that was not complete until about 1060. His marriage in the 1050s to Matilda of Flanders provided him with a powerful ally in the neighbouring county of Flanders. By the time of his marriage, William was able to arrange the appointment of his supporters as bishops and abbots in the Norman church. His consolidation of power allowed him to expand his horizons, and he secured control of the neighbouring county of Maine by 1062. In the 1050s and early 1060s, William became a contender for the throne of England held by the childless Edward the Confessor, his first cousin once removed. There were other potential claimants, including the powerful English earl Harold Godwinson, whom Edward named as king on his deathbed in January 1066. Arguing that Edward had previously promised the throne to him and that Harold had sworn to support his claim, William built a large fleet and invaded England in September 1066. He decisively defeated and killed Harold at the Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066. After further military efforts, William was crowned king on Christmas Day, 1066, in London. He made arrangements for the governance of England in early 1067 before returning to Normandy. Several unsuccessful rebellions followed, but William's hold was mostly secure on England by 1075, allowing him to spend the majority of his reign in continental Europe. William's final years were marked by difficulties in his continental domains, troubles with his son, Robert, and threatened invasions of England by the Danes. In 1086, he ordered the compilation of the Domesday Book, a survey listing all the land-holdings in England along with their pre-Conquest and current holders. He died in September 1087 while leading a campaign in northern France, and was buried in Caen. His reign in England was marked by the construction of castles, settling a new Norman nobility on the land, and change in the composition of the English clergy. He did not try to integrate his various domains into one empire but continued to administer each part separately. His lands were divided after his death: Normandy went to Robert, and England went to his second surviving son, William Rufus. ... One factor in William's favour was his marriage to Matilda of Flanders, the daughter of Count Baldwin V of Flanders. The union was arranged in 1049, but Pope Leo IX forbade the marriage at the Council of Rheims in October 1049. The marriage nevertheless went ahead some time in the early 1050s, possibly unsanctioned by the pope. ... Family and children William and his wife Matilda had at least nine children. The birth order of the sons is clear, but no source gives the relative order of birth of the daughters. 1. Robert was born between 1051 and 1054, died 10 February 1134. Duke of Normandy, married Sybilla, daughter of Geoffrey, Count of Conversano. 2. Richard was born before 1056, died around 1075. 3. William was born between 1056 and 1060, died 2 August 1100. King of England, killed in the New Forest. 4. Henry was born in late 1068, died 1 December 1135. King of England, married Edith, daughter of Malcolm III of Scotland. His second wife was Adeliza of Louvain. 5. Adeliza (or Adelida, Adelaide) died before 1113, reportedly betrothed to Harold Godwinson, probably a nun of Saint Léger at Préaux. 6. Cecilia (or Cecily) was born before 1066, died 1127, Abbess of Holy Trinity, Caen. 7. Matilda was born around 1061, died perhaps about 1086. Mentioned in Domesday Book as a daughter of William. 8. Constance died 1090, married Alan IV, Duke of Brittany. 9. Adela died 1137, married Stephen, Count of Blois. 10. (Possibly) Agatha, the betrothed of Alfonso VI of León and Castile. There is no evidence of any illegitimate children born to William. Death William led an expedition against the French Vexin in July 1087. While seizing Mantes, William either fell ill or was injured by the pommel of his saddle. He was taken to the priory of Saint Gervase at Rouen, where he died on 9 September 1087. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_the_Conqueror Also substantiated by "The White Ship" by Charles Spencer, published 2020, pg 30-31.

His absence from the Norman primary sources which have so far been consulted in the preparation of this document suggests that he was of lowly birth.
