______________________

William Mackintosh, 15th of Mackintosh (died 1550) was the chief of the Clan Mackintosh, a Scottish clan of the Scottish Highlands. He was also chief of the confederation of clans that was known as the Clan Chattan.
William Mackintosh, 15th of Mackintosh was the son of Lachlan Beg Mackintosh, 14th of Mackintosh and his wife Jean Gordon, daughter of Sir Alexander Gordon of Lochinver. His father, Lachlan Beg Mackintosh, had been murdered in 1524 when William was just three years old. Therefore, Hector Mackintosh, natural son of Ferquhard Mackintosh, 12th chief was chosen as his tutor and temporary leader of the clan. Hector's leadership was not universally acknowledged by the clan and as a result the Earl of Moray who was also a relation of William had him and his mother removed to his own house. He also arranged for William's mother to re-marry. The newly elected leader of the Clan Mackintosh and Clan Chattan, Hector, with the support of the clan saw the Earl's actions as an insult to themselves to use their young chief for his own designs. The removal of their chief was resented so much that the clan invaded the Earl of Moray's lands and during the year 1527 the Earl's tenants were in a perpetual state of alarm constantly having their crops in flames and their cattle lifted. Subsequently, a royal mandate was issued on 9 November 1528 for the extermination of the invading Clan Chattan, during the reign of James V of Scotland. It was addressed to the sheriffs of Kincardine, Aberdeen, Banff, Elgin, Forres, Nairn and Inverness and to the Earl of Moray himself, who was lieutenant general of the north. It was also issued to the Earls of Sutherland and Caithness, John Lord Forbes, Hugh Fraser, 3rd Lord Lovat, John Grant of Freuchy, Ewen the Captain of Clan Cameron and John Mackenzie, 9th of Kintail, all to attack and kill the Clan Chattan.

According to 19th historian Alexander Mackintosh-Shaw, if this mandate had been acted upon by all of the persons to whom it was addressed, then the history of the Clan Chattan would have probably been ended. However, owing to the friendly efforts of chiefs in the north and the unwillingness of the Earl of Moray to take such extremities, it was not. It did however stop the Clan Chattan from invading the Earl of Moray's lands. The leader of the clan, Hector Mackintosh, is not mentioned in these disturbances which seem to have been carried out by the clansmen. Two years later the Earl of Moray marched into Mackintosh country and took 300 prisoners, many of whom were executed including Hector's brother, also called William. Hector escaped and remained for some time in hiding. Upon the advice of Dunbar, Dean of Moray, Hector surrendered himself to the king who forgave him for past offences and placed him in royal favour and this may have been because at the time the king was dissatisfied with the Earl of Moray.

William Mackintosh, 15th of Mackintosh married Margaret, daughter of Alexander Ogilvie, 1st Baron Findlater. Their children were:
1. Margaret Mackintosh, who was married successively to the lairds of Grant, Abergeldie, Pitsligo and William Sutherland, 9th of Duffus.
2. William Mackintosh, who died young.
3. Lachlan Mor Mackintosh, 16th of Mackintosh, heir and successor as chief of the Clan Mackintosh and Clan Chattan.

The misfortunes of the tutor Hector's quarrel with the Earl of Moray that had been brought upon the clan appear to have been of a temporary nature and William Mackintosh, 15th chief took up his position as head of the clan in about 1540, aged nineteen.

In 1544, the Clan Chattan became involved in the dispute over the chiefship of the Clan Macdonald of Clanranald. The son of the previous chief of Clan Ranald was John of Moidart who was challenged by his relative, Ranald, who was married to a daughter of Hugh Fraser, 3rd Lord Lovat who in turn gave Ranald his support. George Gordon, 4th Earl of Huntly was the king's lieutenant in the north and also supported Ranald and Fraser of Lovat, who together with the Clan Grant and Clan Chattan marched against John of Moidart. On this occasion William Mackintosh, chief of Clan Mackintosh and Clan Chattan, was followed by 1500 men. The Gordons, Grants, Mackintoshes and Clan Chattan separated from Lord Lovat's force. Lovat and his clan were defeated by John of Moidart in the subsequent Battle of the Shirts in which it is said that only eight MacDonalds and four or five Frasers survived, with John of Moidart succeeding in his claim to the chiefship of Clan Macdonald of Clanranald.

In 1547-48, the Earldom of Moray was conferred upon the Earl of Huntly. William Mackintosh, 15th of Mackintosh was inclined to support the doctrine of the Reformation which Huntly was a staunch opponent to. According to 19th century historian Alexander Mackintosh-Shaw, chief William Mackintosh commanded a following more numerous than Huntly could raise from his own estate and Huntly deprived Mackintosh of his office of deputy lieutenant. He goes onto say that Lachlan Mackintosh who was the son of the man who had murdered William's father, Lachlan Beg Mackintosh, 14th chief, had been sowing the seeds of discontent among the Clan Macpherson who were part of the Clan Chattan and that he was no well-wisher of William. Huntly, at the same time of withdrawing William's office from him gave lands to the conspiring Lachlan who then accused William of conspiring to take the life of Huntly. Huntly then seized chief William Mackintosh and put him on trial on 2 August 1550 at Aberdeen. Thomas Menzies, the Provost of Aberdeen defended William Mackintosh with some success. However, on 23 August 1550, William Mackintosh suffered death by the axe. There are other accounts, including that by William Forbes Skene, that state that William Mackintosh had burned Huntly's Auchindoun Castle which is why Huntly had him executed, but Alexander Mackintosh-Shaw states that this story is entirely fictitious. Huntly had made the traitor, Lachlan, Sheriff-depute of Inverness, jointly with Munro of Foulis. However, Lachlan the traitor was killed one year later in his house by some indignant clansmen. Parliament later held an inquiry into Huntly's actions and found that his execution of William Mackintosh was illegal and he had to compensate the Mackintosh family. In 1554, Huntly, along with the Earl of Argyll were ordered to exterminate the Clan Macdonald of Clanranald, but both failed in their objectives; Huntly, because the Highlanders were so much exasperated against him for having executed William Mackintosh in 1550, that he declined to face Clan Ranald with such an army, disbanding his forces. 		MACINTOSH, William 15th of Mackintosh, 16th of Clan Chattan (I594777402)
 
12607 William married Ann Wilds, widow of Thomas Wilds, in 1665 in Isle of Wight County.

12608 William Montagu, alias de Montacute, 1st Earl of Salisbury, 3rd Baron Montagu, King of Mann (1301 – 30 January 1344) was an English nobleman and loyal servant of King Edward III.
The son of William Montagu, 2nd Baron Montagu, he entered the royal household at an early age and became a close companion of the young Prince Edward. The relationship continued after Edward was crowned king following the deposition of Edward II in 1327. In 1330, Montagu was one of Edward's main accomplices in the coup against Roger Mortimer, who until then had been acting as the king's protector.

In the following years Montagu served the king in various capacities, primarily in the Scottish Wars. He was richly rewarded, and among other things received the lordship of the Isle of Man. In 1337, he was created Earl of Salisbury, and given an annual income of 1000 marks to go with the title. He served on the Continent in the early years of the Hundred Years' War, but in 1340 he was captured by the French, and in return for his freedom had to promise never to fight in France again. Salisbury died of wounds suffered at a tournament early in 1344. ...
Salisbury died on 30 January 1344. He was buried at Bisham Priory in Berkshire, adjoining his home, Bisham Manor. He had founded the priory himself in 1337, on his elevation to the earldom.[31] King Edward's financial obligations were never paid in full during the earl's lifetime, and at Salisbury' death the king owed him £11,720. Of this, some £6374 were written off by his executors in 1346.

Family
In or before 1327 Salisbury married Catherine, daughter of William de Grandison, 1st Baron Grandison. Two anecdotal stories revolve around Catherine Montagu; in one she is identified as the "Countess of Salisbury" from whose dropped garter Edward III named the Order of the Garter. In the other, Edward III falls in love with the countess, and arranges to be alone with her so he can rape her. Neither story is supported by contemporary evidence, and the latter almost certainly is a product of French propaganda.

William and Catherine had six children, most of whom made highly fortunate matches with other members of the nobility. The first Earl of Salisbury made enormous additions to the family fortune; at the time of his father's death, the lands had been valued at just over £300. In 1344, only the annual income of the lands has been estimated to more than £2,300, equivalent to about £2 million in present-day terms. Edward was also free with granting franchises to Salisbury, including the return of writs, which gave the earl authority in his lands normally held by the royally appointed sheriff. Salisbury's oldest son William succeeded his father in July 1349, while still a minor, as William Montagu, 2nd Earl of Salisbury. The younger William was one of the founding members of the Order of the Garter, but he never enjoyed the same favour with the king as his father had.

The children of William and Catherine were as follows:
1. Elizabeth Montagu, died 1359, married first, Hugh le Despencer, Baron le Despencer (1338) before 27 April 1341, married second Guy de Brian, 4th Baron Brian, after 1349.
2. William Montacute, 2nd Earl of Salisbury, born 1328, died 1397, succeeded his father 11 June 1349.
3. John de Montacute, 1st Baron Montacute, born 1330, died 1390, father of John Montacute, 3rd Earl of Salisbury.
4. Philippa Montagu, born 1332, died 1381, married Roger Mortimer, 2nd Earl of March.
5. Sibyl Montagu, married Edmund FitzAlan, the disinherited son of Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel.
6. Agnes Montagu, contracted to marry John, eldest son of Roger Grey, 1st Baron Grey de Ruthyn.
7. Alice Montagu, married Ralph Daubeney, son of Helias Daubeney, 1st Baron Daubeney. (This may be an error see William Montagu, 2nd Baron Montagu)

12614 William Speight was born est 1778, in NC. His first born was Albert, born in Wake County in 1800. William then moved to Dickson County TN where the remaing three of his sons were born. (Jesse, William, Arthur). Two fellow researchers have said his wife's name is Mary Berton (or Benton), or Sally Bish. I have found a William & Sally Bish, but cannot prove them this is the only marriage or relative of mine. I have found little info on Mary Berton (or Benton).

WILLIAM SPEIGHT settled in Dickson County from Wake County NC around 1800 or a little after. An old biography written by Tom Speight's great uncle said William settled on the "Westside of the Harpeth River around 1800". He had a son, Albert S. born around 1800.

12615 William T. Anderson[a] (c. 1840 – October 26, 1864), known by the nickname "Bloody Bill" Anderson, was a soldier who was one of the deadliest and most notorious Confederate guerrilla leaders in the American Civil War. Anderson led a band of volunteer partisan raiders who targeted Union loyalists and federal soldiers in the states of Missouri and Kansas.

Raised by a family of Southerners in Kansas, Anderson began to support himself by stealing and selling horses in 1862. After a former friend and secessionist turned Union loyalist judge killed his father, Anderson killed the judge and fled to Missouri.[1] There he robbed travelers and killed several Union soldiers. In early 1863 he joined Quantrill's Raiders, a group of Confederate guerrillas which operated along the Kansas– Missouri border. He became a skilled bushwhacker, earning the trust of the group's leaders, William Quantrill and George M. Todd. Anderson's bushwhacking marked him as a dangerous man and eventually led the Union to imprison his sisters. After a building collapse in the makeshift jail in Kansas City, Missouri killed one sister, and left another permanently maimed, Anderson devoted himself to revenge. He took a leading role in the Lawrence Massacre and later took part in the Battle of Baxter Springs, both in 1863.

In late 1863, while Quantrill's Raiders spent the winter in Sherman, Texas, animosity developed between Anderson and Quantrill. Anderson, perhaps falsely, implicated Quantrill in a murder, leading to the latter's arrest by Confederate authorities. Anderson subsequently returned to Missouri as the leader of his own group of raiders and became the most feared guerrilla in the state, robbing and killing a large number of Union soldiers and civilian sympathizers. Although Union supporters viewed him as incorrigibly evil, Confederate supporters in Missouri saw his actions as justifiable. In September 1864, Anderson led a raid on the town of Centralia, Missouri. Unexpectedly, his men were able to capture a passenger train, the first time Confederate guerrillas had done so. In what became known as the Centralia Massacre, Anderson's bushwhackers killed 24 unarmed Union soldiers on the train and set an ambush later that day which killed over a hundred Union soldiers. Anderson himself was killed a month later in battle. Historians have made disparate appraisals of Anderson; some see him as a sadistic, psychopathic killer, while others put his actions into the perspective of the general desperation and lawlessness of the time and the brutalization effect of war.

Death:
Union military leaders assigned Lieutenant Colonel Samuel P. Cox to kill Anderson, providing him with a group of experienced soldiers. Soon after Anderson left Glasgow, a local woman saw him and told Cox of his presence.[141] On October 26, 1864, he pursued Anderson's group with 150 men and engaged them in a battle called the Skirmish at Albany, Missouri.[142] Anderson and his men charged the Union forces, killing five or six of them, but turned back under heavy fire.[143] Only Anderson and one other man, the son of a Confederate general, continued to charge after the others had retreated. Anderson was hit by a bullet behind an ear, likely killing him instantly.[144] Four other guerrillas were killed in the attack.[143] The victory made a hero of Cox and led to his promotion. 		ANDERSON, Lt. William "Bloody Bill" Tompson (I594784552)
 
12616 William Thrall is the founder of the Thrall family in the United States. He was born in 1605 in Sandridge, Hertfordshire, England and came to the Colonies on the "Mary and John" in the year 1630. The "Mary and John" was a vessel of four hundred tons captained by a man named Squeb and the vessel sailed with 180 passengers.
William was part of a company of Puritans under the leadership of Rev. John Wareham of Exeter and Rev. John Meverick, both ministers of the Church of England Setting sail from Plymouth, England on 20 March, they first came ashore on 30 May 1630. They disembarked with what goods they had, to some high land in the salt meadow, now a part of the city of Boston. They named the place Dorchester, which was selected by the captain of the "Mary and John" as he came from Dorchester, England. Page 277 of Prince's Chronology of New England records "May 30, Lord's Day. Mr. Wareham and his church, and their goods, were put ashore at Nantasket Point. The went immediately to Charlestown, and from thence to Mattepan, and began a town and named it Dorchester, and the native Indians were kind to them."
Revs. Wareham and Meverick and their group stayed in Dorchester less than five years, as a number of their menfolk had discovered more fertile land below the first falls of the Connecticut River, at the junction of the Farmington River just above Hartford. Part of the Colony went by boat and the remainder traveled across the one hundred miles of virgin forest, to establish the town of Windsor. Windsor was unofficially known as Thrallville in the early years.
The first we know of William Thrall is that he is listed with the following men who were among the thirty men who went from Windsor to join in the fight against the Pequod Indians in May 1637. Capt. John Mason, Sgt. Benedict Alvord, Thomas Barber, Thomas Buckland, George Chappel, John Dyer, James Eggleston, Nathaniel Gillet, Thomas Gridley, Thomas Styles, Sgt. Thomas Stares, Richard Osborn, Thomas Parsons, William Thrall. The Indian village in this case was so completely destroyed that for many years, the settlers had no further trouble with the Indians. Some years later, the participants were given land grants. To quote from Dr. Styles records with regard to the first Indian war in New England, "The danger was imminent, and so complete the victory that it caused universal rejoicing throughout New England, and a grant of land was given each soldier and officer, and to this day the memory of an ancestor who was in the Pequod fight, is an honorable heirloom in every Connecticut family".
William Thrall is mentioned many times in the early records. His lot shows up in the first plot of Windsor, between the lots of Nicholas Palmer and Thomas Bascomb, and ran from the road to the Farmington River. In 1646, William sold this lot to Nicholas Palmer and moved to Simon Hoyte's place, north of the village. Robert Wilson bought a half interest with William in the Hoyte's 80 acres, but sold his half to Thrall in 1654. This 80 acres has been part of the holdings of the Thrall family ever since, thanks to William Thrall's will
We know very little about the wife of William Thrall. She is referred to in the Old Windsor records as Goode Thrall, but "Goode" was an expression applied to women with families and it is simply an abbreviation of "Goodwife". Whether she came over to New England on the "Mary and John" with her husband or they met in Dorchester, has never been established The record of her death simply states, "Goode Thrall, wife of William, died 30 July 1676". 		THRALL, William (I6320)
 
12617 WILLIAM UNDERWOOD (1720-1773) and ELEANOR (ELLEN) HACKLEY. William was a lawyer and apparently the 5th WILLIAM in a direct line of WILLIAM UNDERWOODs who---going backwards in time---lived in Fauquier Co., Prince William Co., King George Co., Westmoreland Co., Richmond Co., and Lancaster Co. in Virginia's "Northern Neck" between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers. This William left a will naming only a daughter Jaely Underwood, but it is believed he bestowed legacies upon other children before he made his will; among whom was believed to be son John Underwood and son Annet Underwood. WILLIAM UNDERWOOD V, Esq., was the son of:

WILLIAM UNDERWOOD IV and JAEL SHIPPE (related to Pres. Harry S. Truman and William Barrett Travis of the Alamo, and also to the Hackley family just mentioned). William IV was the son of:

WILLIAM UNDERWOOD III and JOAN UNDERWOOD---she was apparently an Underwood, but unrelated to our main line [one researcher suggested her maiden name may have been HURLEY]. "Major William Underwood" is sometimes found in records. William III was the son of:

WILLIAM UNDERWOOD II ("Colonel") and MARY MOSELEY. Col. William II was the son of:

WILLIAM UNDERWOOD I ("Captain") and MARGARET DEW / DEWE. William was a tobacco merchant and planter, but Margaret's identity regarding her origins and surname has been elusive until recently. There has long been the idea that this Margaret was a ROBERTS or a MASON. This is mainly due to the fact that a marriage record exists for the marriage to Margaret ROBERTS, pairing a couple in the right period with the right first names. The MASON marriage was proffered as an alternate possibility, due to the fact that later UNDERWOOD family documents and even business entanglements include at least one member of the MASON family (one Josiah MASON) in such as way as to imply a familial relationship; hence, an assumption that that this could be the point of connection. (It has later been seen that the Josiah MASON in question was an in-law, rather than a true cousin.)

When more data is uncovered in England, we see more clearly that the DEWE family documents and wills from that period indicate that both Margaret and her sister Elizabeth married UNDERWOOD men, and that Margaret's husband was William, and that they and their young family moved from London to Isle of Wight County Virginia, via Bermuda, in the 1630's---in fact probably before 1632. The family connections of neighbors, friends and other associates and relatives all fit this scenario in London, Hertfordshire, Kent, and Isle of Wight County Virginia, as does later connections in Virginia's Northern Neck. Margaret's DEW / DEWE family connections include her in-laws the BENNETT family, the same as that of one of the Colonial Governors of Virginia. Captain WILLIAM and MARGARET UNDERWOOD were the parents of at least 1 son and upwards of 5 daughters. This ordinary couple were the direct ancestors of U.S. Presidents JAMES MADISON and THEODORE ROOSEVELT, First Lady ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, General GEORGE SMITH PATTON, JR., and General-of-the-Army GEORGE CATLETT MARSHALL.

Prior to our line settling in eastern Culpeper County and southern Fauquier County in the early-to-mid 1700's, the main family properties were:
1) "Claymont": Held by the family since its patent by WILLIAM UNDERWOOD II in 1658, it was about 10,000 acres in its original total, being held until about 1720. The old manor house is gone, but its location can be traced by satellite image. Claymont is in modern Westmoreland Co., at its far N/W border with King George Co., where is now the Ingleside Winery and the Rappahannock River Valley National Wildlife Refuge. The old house site is just about 5 miles due West of GEORGE WASHINGTON's birthplace and 3 miles S/W of JAMES MONROE's birthplace.
2) Land in Richmond County is the first land that WILLIAM UNDERWOOD II patented on Virginia's Northern Neck in about 1650. Between Richmond County Courthouse at Warsaw and the Tappahannock Bridge which crosses over to Essex County, there is a magnificent 1730's plantation house called "Sabine Hall" built by Landon CARTER at the edge of UNDERWOOD's original land.
3) Land in Isle of Wight Co., VA, on the James River, was acquired by WILLIAM UNDERWOOD I and settled in the 1630's.

The 1st WILLIAM UNDERWOOD in America---our immigrant ancestor---has been difficult to distinguish from other William UNDERWOODs in the same time period in England and Virginia. It would seem, however, from Wills and Probates in England, and from genealogies on file in the College of Arms in London and other public records, that our WILLIAM UNDERWOOD I was apparently the 2nd son of:

EDMUND UNDERWOOD (Sr.) (1576-1631) and ROSE FAIRCLOUGH (1580-1656). Edmund was a Grocer in London and in full business partnership with his younger brother ROBERT UNDERWOOD (1580-1638) who married Rose's younger sister DOROTHY FAIRCLOUGH (1584-1531). They owned "The Woolsack" in Bucklersbury [a lane in the geographic center of the old City of London], which was a grocery, apothecary, warehouse, and dual dwelling house which consisted of two huge houses that adjoined, with business and warehousing on the street level, more warehousing in the multiple cellar levels below, and several stories high of dwelling space in the upper floors. Both Underwood brothers had huge families, as was common, and technically each family had their own house. On the business side, the apothecary area also served as a sort of small medicinal clinic, and temporary overnight boarders with medical needs were apparently common in the Underwood houses.

ROSE & DOROTHY FAIRCLOUGH were the daughters of JOHN FAIRCLOUGH and ANNE SPENCER of the very famous SPENCER family (ancestors of Winston CHURCHILL, Princess Diana, and several famous Americans). The FAIRCLOUGH family (also seen as FAIRCLOTH, and countless other odd spellings) had a manor house at Fairclough Hall a mile or so S/E of Weston, Hertfordshire, and also had a 2nd home in Goldington, just across the county line into Bedfordshire. They originally came from Lancashire sometime before c.1430.

EDMUND & ROBERT were born at their ancestral home in Weston, Hertfordshire, about 40 miles North of London, where, according to a 1634 pedigree, the family had resided since about the early 1300's. They were sons of:

GEORGE UNDERWOOD (Sr.) (1541-1597) and ALICE PAPWORTH (c.1543-after 1600; dau. of William PAPWORTH of Hitchin). George was the son of

WILLIAM UNDERWOOD, Constable of Weston (c.1502-1560) and JOHANNA CLARKE (c.1515-aft.1572; dau. of John CLARKE of Stevenage, and sister of the earlier Sir Edward CLARKE of Berkshire). William was the son of:

THOMAS UNDERWOOD (c.1475-1561) and ISABELLA _______. Thomas and his son William and HIS son George all had many children, including many sons with the same names from one generation to the next. Lots of these men found work in London and nearby areas, and leads to the tangle of duplicate names among 1st- and 2nd-cousins who very obviously are related to one another, but often it is difficult to say from which father and grandfather they descend. Other contemporary documents exist, but are expensive to have researched, as it must be done by a herald of the College of Arms or some wealthy and hopefully knowledgeable family member who could travel to London and Hertfordshire to do the research in person. Thomas was apparently the son of:

WILLIAM UNDERWOOD, JR. (c.1445-c.1500) and ALICE ______. William Jr. was the son of:

WILLIAM UNDERWOOD, SR. (c.1420-_____) and JOAN _______. William Sr. was the son of:

JOHN UNDERWOOD (c.1396-_____), who was the son of:

WILLIAM UNDERWOOD (Sr.) (c.1360-aft.1428), beyond which it is difficult to tell from the local land records. These manorial court records (of Weston Manor, compiled by the PRYOR family a century ago and donated to the Hertford County records office) helped with these earliest 4 generations of UNDERWOOD names and dates.

The actual extended pedigrees apparently exist in the College of Arms in London, which would take this line back at least 2 more generations and maybe more. It is supposed that most of the older Underwood families in the Counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Dorsetshire, Devonshire, Shropshire, and so forth, are all descended from the main trunk of the family which would probably prove to be centered around Leicestershire in the 1200's and Nottinghamshire from the 1100's on back. An Underwood family in Roxburghshire on the Scottish border appears to also have origins in the early 1600's much further to the south, possibly even to our London family.

The families in Weston Hertfordshire, and those in Bedfordshire and possibly Warwickshire and Buckinghamshire are believed to all be linked from the late 1200's and early 1300's onward. There is a branch in Dorchester Dorsetshire which seems to be fairly closely connected to our Hertfordshire and London family. Our London family also owned property in Shorne and Greenwich parishes in County Kent (London's S/E suburbs and connected routes to the S/E); as well as property in the South Riding portion of County York in northern England. There is also a branch in Cambridgeshire/Huntingdonshire and another in Northamptonshire which seem to be part of the Hertfordshire branch.

The UNDERWOOD family in Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean is proven to be of our London family origin, and actually may account for some of the seemingly unconnected UNDERWOODS (at least one Thomas U. for example) that show up in Virginia in the latter 1600's and early 1700's. Lastly, it is proved that during the 1640's and 1650's, our UNDERWOOD family in London purchased land in County Tipperary in Ireland, and there may have been some family members actually move there and settle.

The UNDERWOODS that settled in Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania seem to mostly come from our London family. The New England branches of the family have multiple origins 		UNDERWOOD, William (I594767895)
 
12618 William was born in 1800 in North Carolina.

Pioneers of Morgan Co Indiana. They had been married 66 years and have been apart only three consecutive days and two nights since their marriage. There were born to them 26 children (single births), 13 girls and 13 boys. Seven of these lived to adult age; the others all died in infancy. Only 3 of the 26 are living (at time of writing), 2 sons and one daughter. Three sons went into the army. One was captured near Vicksburg and died in a Rebel prison. One died in the Union Hospital at Nashville. The other one came home and died of consumption not long afterward. The old father and mother are quite sad when speaking of the deaths of their sons, particularly of the one who was made a prisoner, for, like Benjamin, he was the youngest?

William married Delilah Ray. Their known children are Joseph 1826-1880, Moses 1829-1891, William H 1830-1916, Mitchell 1839-1865, Thomas 1841-1865 Rebecca 1843-1928 and Benjamin the youngest born around 1845.

William's wife's name was Delilah Ray, born in Crab Orchard, Kentucky the first of November, 1800. Mr. Parker came to Indiana in 1819, stopping near Madison for a short time. Delilah and William married on Christmas day, 1823. William was tall and slender. A tough, wiry man, with the powers of endurance to sustain him at hard work from dawn to dark. He was a great axman, and cleared year after year acres of land in the White River bottoms. He was of light complexion and singuine temperament. He and his wife were members of the Christian church since 1845 according to "The Pioneers of Morgan County," by Noah J. Major and Logan Esarey, Indiana Historical Society Publications, Volume V Number 5, Copyright 1915.

William died in 1894 and is buried at Williams Cemetery in Morgan County, Indiana. 		PARKER, William (I594779610)

12627 William was only 12 when his father died. The wardship of William and the de Braose lands were granted by Henry III to Peter des Rievaux. On his fall in 1234 these custodies were passed on to the king's brother Richard, Earl of Cornwall. When William came of age he took control of the Braose lands in Gower, Bramber and Tetbury. He confirmed the grants made by his father of the rents of cottages in Tetbury (they are still there) to the priory at Aconbury, founded in the memory of Maud de St Valery by her daughter Margaret.

He was plagued throughout his life by a series of legal battles over land rights with his female relatives.

See Cottages of Tetbury.


William de Braose, in the 41st Henry III [1257], when Llewellyn ap Griffith menaced the marches of Wales with a great army, was commanded by the king to defend his own marches about Gower, and the next year he had a military summons to attend the king Chester. In two years afterwards, he was again in arms under Roger de Mortimer against the Welsh, and was one of the barons who became pledged for King Henry, abiding the award of Louis, King of France. He d. in 1290, leaving by Isabel de Clare, his first wife, a son, William de Braose. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 72, Braose, Baron Braose, of Gower]

----------

Peter de Braose, half-brother of William, Lord Braose, of Gower. Peter's son, Thomas, was found heir to his grandmother, Mary de Ros (his grandfather, William de Braose's 2nd wife). [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage Ltd, London, England, 1883, p. 73, Braose, Barons Braose]

NOTE: From the above information it is certain which William de Braose was Peter's father, for only this one William was summoned to parliament as a baron. However, in attempting to connect Mary de Ros to William, there are some pretty glaring date inconsistencies. e.g., William died in 1290, and Mary wasn't born until around 1298. It's possible the approximated year of birth for Mary is somewhat off, but surely not that far off. According to Burke, her father, William de Ros, was b. 1255, thus, she could have been born as early as perhaps 1271. Her father d. in 1316, and her grandfather died 16 June, 1285. Her 2nd husband, Thomas of Brotherton, was born 1 June, 1300. Had she been born as early as 1271, she would have been 29 years older than her 2nd husband. It's almost as if there had been two separate individuals named Mary de Ros, yet Burke says "Mary m. 1st, to William Braose, and 2ndly, to Thomas de Brotherton, Duke of Norfolk." 		BRAOSE, William V De Lord Of Bramber & Gower (I12997)
 
12628 William was Sgt of Arms for Henry VII. He had a large fortune which he left to daughter Joan according to "Hawkins Family Records" by J. Montgomery Seaver in 1929. AMADOS, William Carol (I11589)
 
12629 William was the son of John Speight and wife Elizabeth. The proof of this can be found in the will of William Powell of Isle of Wight Co, VA, Bk 4, p. 85. John Speight and brother William Speight were the executors of William Powell's will dated 13 Sep 1747, pr 12 Nov 1747. William Speight of Edgecombe Co, NC sold 75 acres in Isle of Wight Co, VA given to William Speight by the last will & testament of William Powell, dec'd. William Powell gave a deed of gift to his dau-in-lw Elizabeth Speight now the wife of John Speight 70 acres in Lower Parish of Isle of Wight during her natural life land on the western branch in Isle of Wight. Bk 4, p. 200 deeds, 1732. Deed BK 4, p. 230 to my loving kinsman John Speight and his wife Elizabeth 50 acres adj. Richard Hutchins & Jacob Powell (1733). William Speight & Abigail sold land in Edgecombe (Halifax deed Bk 8, p. 431 stating he was of Johnston Co, NC. Wake formed in 1771 from Johnston Co, NC.

On 18 November 1760, William Speight requested his brother John's patent of 300 acres be transferred to him since John had recently been killed (Colonial Records of North Carolina, Vol. 6, p. 341).

NOTES BY DORIS SCOTT: William Speight was probably born in Virginia as the Speights were in Nansemond County, Virginia, in the late 1600's and early 1700's before migrating to North Carolina through Perquimans and Chowan Counties and settling in Craven County in the section that became Johnston County in 1746 and then part of Wake County in 1770. Several land grants are recorded for William Speight in Craven County from 1751 to 1765. William Speight served as a captain in the Johnston County Militia in the French and Indian Wars in 1754.

Sometime before 1746, William left Isle of Wight and migrated west to what is now Halifax County, settling on land on the Conoconnar Swamp and the Roanoke River.

William served as an officer in the Colonial Militia of Johnston County. He mustered in 1754 at the outbreak of the French and Indian War., While in the militia, he served in Colonel Lewis Derosset's Regiment, He likely never saw much action, however, they were prepared to move out upon short notice whenever trouble came near their turf,. While on active status he was promoted from Ensign to the rank of Captain. 		SPEIGHT, William (I29043)
 
12630 William Whiteside was born about 1710 in England or Ireland and died in 1777 in Tryon (now Rutherford) County, North Carolina. He married Elizabeth Stockton, a daughter of Davis Stockton of Albemarle County, Virginia.

Tryon Resolves / American Revolution:
Generally, Whiteside genealogists [ … ] believe patriarch William Whiteside signed the Tryon Resolves with his son [Davis Whiteside]. However, William Whiteside [the patriarch] signed documents with his mark in 1767, 1768, and 1769, as well as his will in 1777. It is possible [Davis Whiteside] signed the Tryon Resolves for his father, but others signed the Resolves with their mark. William R. Whiteside [former professor at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville] therefore believes that it was William [… a son of patriarch William Whiteside] who signed the Resolves [ … ] .[1]

William Whiteside of Virginia and North Carolina, by Jerry J. Stockton.

"The family name Whiteside originated in England. The earliest record is of a Robert Wyteside appearing in 1230 records in Warwickshire, England. Genealogist Don Whiteside believes most Whitesides throughout the British Isles are descended from Whitesides in the town of Poulton-le-Fylde in Lancashire County, England." Borderlands: The Goshen Settlement of William Bolin Whiteside, Ben Ostermeier. 2016-2020.[2]

Dr. Donald Whiteside (1931-1993), the foremost expert on the Whiteside family, did not show parents for William Whiteside who married Elizabeth Stockton. Dr. Whiteside did show William was a brother of Thomas Whiteside who lived on Stockton's Branch of Mechum's River in Albemarle County, Virginia.

William Whiteside's exact date of birth is unknown and his place of birth is unknown. It appears that William was probably born in either England or Ireland in about 1710. It is also not known when William came to America. By March 15, 1741, William was in Goochland (now Albemarle) County, Virginia, but before that date nothing is known about where he lived.

William Whiteside married Elizabeth Stockton, a daughter of Davis Stockton (c.1685-1761) of Albemarle County, Virginia. Davis Stockton is known to have been living in Goochland (now Albemarle) County, Virginia, by June 10, 1737, and William Whiteside is known to have been living there by March 15, 1741.

William Whiteside appears to have been living in Goochland County before his March 15, 1741, patent. He married Elizabeth Stockton, a daughter of Davis Stockton who had settled in the Ivy Creek area of then Goochland County, Virginia.

Davis Whiteside is thought to be the first child of Elizabeth (nee Stockton) and William Whiteside and is thought to have been born in about 1741. William Whiteside and Elizabeth Stockton probably met and married in then Goochland County, Virginia, in about 1740. In 1744, this area became Albemarle County, Virginia.

Captain James Nevill, Samuel Stockton, William Stockton, Adam Gaudylock, William Whiteside, Henry Brenton and Michael Woods, Jr., were among the 56 men mentioned as members of the Albemarle Company of Militia in William Waller Hening's 1820 book. Samuel and William Stockton were sons of Davis Stockton. Adam Goudelock and William Whiteside were sons-in-law of Davis Stockton. Adam Goudelock married Hannah Stockton, a daughter of Davis Stockton. William Whiteside married Elizabeth Stockton, also a daughter of Davis Stockton. Either Henry or Robert Brenton might have been a son-in-law of Davis Stockton. A 1773 record shows "Sarah Branton (late Sarah Stockton)." Michael Woods, Jr., was a neighbor of Davis Stockton.

"Whiteside Creek. - William Whiteside, the immigrant, found a home in the midst of the stout Scotch-Irish colonists, who, coming down the Valley of Virginia, had crossed the Blue Ridge into Albemarle at and after the year 1737. His entry called for "four hundred acres lying and being in the county of Goochland, on both sides the South Fork of Mechums River." He occupied that place from the 15th of March, 1741, until the 7th of July, 1767, when he sold it to Adam Dean for £250 "current money of Virginia." The most important memorial of his residence of six and twenty years in this home appears in the fact that the "South Fork of Medium's river" that ran through his farm acquired the name of Whiteside Creek, which it has carried ever since on the maps of Albemarle. Dr. Wood, the historian of Albemarle, in describing Medium's river, p. 17, ubi sup., says : "It receives on its north side Virgin Spring Branch, Stockton's, Beaver and Spring Creeks, and on its south Whiteside, Pounding Branch and Broadaxe Creeks." Whiteside Creek passes through the village of Batesville in the western section of Albemarle, and a goodly portion of its waters has been diverted in recent years by the celebrated Miller School of that neighborhood, and conveyed into a reservoir whence is supplied the power for running their large electric plant and various other kinds of machinery."

Several members of the Whiteside/Underwood family are buried at the Buffalo Cemetery, Lake Lure, Rutherford County, North Carolina.

Rutherford County was formed from Tryon County in 1779. Tryon County was formed from Mecklenburg County in 1768. When William Whiteside arrived it was Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.

William Whiteside, who married Elizabeth Stockton, is not shown on any documents as William Franklin Whiteside. There are several documents that show him as William Whiteside, but there are no known documents that show him as William Franklin Whiteside or William F. Whiteside. William was born about in 1710, a time when middle names were very uncommon. Elizabeth (nee Stockton) and William Whiteside had nine sons, none were named Franklin and none appear to have Franklin as a middle name.

The name of Franklin was used many years later as a middle name in the Whiteside family, however, that was probably for "Benjamin Franklin." The later use of the middle name of Franklin in the Whiteside family is not evidence that William Whiteside was William Franklin Whiteside. Several deed records, church records, military records show him as William Whiteside and his will shows him as William Whiteside three times. No documents show him as William Franklin Whiteside.

Elizabeth (nee Stockton) and William Whiteside are shown by some researchers as being from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The family of Elizabeth (nee Dawson) and William Whitsitt (sometimes shown as Whiteside) were from Lancaster County. They later located in Amherst County, Virginia, and then Orange County, North Carolina. The information that the Elizabeth (nee Stockton) and William Whiteside family were connected to Orange County, North Carolina, appear to be incorrect.

Whiteside Family Association. 2008.
Dr. William Heth Whitsitt in his family history cites some Albemarle County, Virginia deeds and church records dated between 1754 and 1770 as evidence of the existence of Elizabeth Dawson Whitsitt, some of which contain her given name. One document in particular that Dr. Whitsitt references is dated in 1770. It tells of Elizabeth, wife of William Whiteside of Amherst County, being examined about her dower rights in the sale of land in Albemarle County by her husband William. This seemed to be good evidence that Elizabeth was alive as late as 1770. However, we can now show that these documents are in fact associated with Elizabeth Stockton and her husband William Whiteside later of Rutherford County, North Carolina. Significantly, 1770 is about the time this couple and their large family removed from Virginia to North Carolina. The Albemarle County records dated in the 1750's would contradict our assertions that both William Sr. and William Jr. were in Pennsylvania during that decade. However, a careful analysis of these records show that almost without exception they refer to William and Elizabeth Stockton Whiteside, not William and Elizabeth Dawson Whitsitt. The records document the settlement on Ivy Creek and Mechum's River by the Whiteside and the Stockton families. The Stockton name almost always shows up somehow with the Whitesides in these documents.

The Stockton relatives and in-laws of Elizabeth and William Whiteside witnessed several of the deeds involving William Whiteside of Albemarle County. A look at historical maps of Virginia, taking in account the changes in county boundaries does little to help us distinguish the William of Ivy Creek on Mechum's River from either of the William Whitsitts who came to Amherst County from Pennsylvania during the 1760's. Both of these families were in Amherst County at one time or another. However, the Amherst County records pertaining to the Pennsylvania family usually use the name "Whitsitt" rather than "Whiteside." We had one advantage over Dr. Whitsitt when we were doing our research. We knew about William and Elizabeth Stockton Whiteside. I feel certain that Dr. Whitsitt did not, or he probably would have noticed some of the discrepancies that indicate these were two separate families. I believe that we need a more thorough examination of Virginia Colonial records to help us clarify who was who, and who was where during the Amherst period of their lives. 		WHITESIDE, William Franklin (I3381)

[Burke's Peerage]

-----------------------------------------

When the Lancastrian insurrection [War of Roses] broke out in 1469, Edward IV commissioned the Sir William Herbert, Knight, Earl of Pembroke, and his brother, Sir Richard Herbert, Knight of Coldbrook, to command an army of 18,000 Welshmen against the rebels. In July of 1469, the army was defeated at the Battle of Edgecote. The Herberts were captured by Richard, earl of Warwick and beheaded the next day in Northamptonshire. They were buried in the priory chapel on July 27, 1469, beneath the arch which separates the Herbert Chapel & the choir in St. Mary's Priory Church.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
Copied from Herbert, George biography, 88.1911 encyclopedia.org/H/HERBERT_GEORGE.htm:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------

His sons William and Richard both partisans of the White Rose, took the surname of Herbert in or before 1461. Playing a part in English affairs remote fron the Welsh Marches, their lack of a surname may well hav inconvenienced them, and their choice of the name Herbert can only be explained by the suggestion that their long pedigree from Herbert the Chamberlain, absurdly represented as a bastard son of Henry I, must already have been discovered for them. Copies exist of an alleged commission issued by Edward IV to a committee of Welsh bards for the ascertaining of the true ancestry of William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke, whom "th chiefest men of skill in the province of South Wales declar to be the descendant of Herbert, a noble lord, natural son b King Henry the first", and it is recited that King Edward, after the creation of the earldom, commanded the Earl and Sir Richard his brother to "take their surnames after their first progenito Herbert fitz Roy and to forego the British order and Inanner". But this commission, whose date anticipates by some years the true date of the creation of the earldom, is the work of one of the many genealogical forgers who flourished under the Tudors.

Sir William Herbert, called by the Welsh Gwilim Ddu or Black William, was a baron in 1461 and a Knight of the Garter in the following year. With many manors and castles on the Marches he had the castle, town and lordship of Pembroke, and after the attainder of Jasper Tudor in 1468 was created Earl of Pembroke. When in July 1469 he was taken by Sir John Conyers and the northern Lancastrians on Hedgecote, he was beheaded along with his brother Sir Richard Herbert of Coldbrook.

The second Earl while still a minor exchanged at the king’s desire in 1479 his Earldom of Pembroke for that of Huntingdon. In 1484 this son of one whom Hall not unjustly describes as born "a mean gentleman" contracted to marry Katharine the daughter of King Richard III, but her death annulled the contract and the Earl married Mary, daughter of the Earl Rivers, by whom he had a daughter Elizabeth, whose descendants, the Somersets, lived in the Herbert’s castle of Raglan until the cannon of the parliament broke it in ruins. With the second Earl’s death in 1491 the first Herbert Earldom became extinct. No claim being set up among the other descendants of the first Earl, it may be taken that their lines were illegitimate. One of the chief difficulties which beset the genealogist of the Herberts lies in their Cambrian disregard of the marriage tie, bastards and legitimate issue growing up, it would seem, side by side in their patriarchal households. Thus the ancestor of the present Earls of Pembroke and Carnarvon and of the Herbert who was created marquess of Powis was a natural son of the first Earl, one Richard Herbert, whom the restored inscription on his tomb at Abergavenny incorrectly describes as a knight. He was constable and porter of Abergavenny Castle, and his son William, "a mad fighting fellow" in his youth, married a sister of Catherine Parr and thus in 1543 became nearly allied to the king, who made him one of the executors of his will. The Earldom of Pembroke was revived for him in 1551. It is worthy of note that’all traces of illegitimacy have long since been removed from the arms of the noble descendants of Richard Herbert.

-------------------------

on the history of the Earldom of Huntingdon:

Eight years later William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke, gave up his existing Earldom to the Crown and was made in compensation Earl of Huntingdon. So even at this late date a peerage title could be treated as something which one could simply resign. [Burke's Peerage, p. 1474] 		HERBERT, William Kg, 1St Earl Of Pembroke (I5052)
 
12637 Willliam was the oldest of 11 children. He was in the Civil War as a Confederate cavalry soldier, and was one of Morgan's Raiders. He was captured on the Ohio River and was a prisoner of war at Camp Morton, near Indianapolis, and then sent on to Camp Douglass on the south side of Chicago. Amanda bore him three sons, with descendants from the two elder boys and the youngest son was alive through 1880, where further info on him cannot be found yet. Amanda died in 1864, six months before her husband was paroled by the Yankees, leaving her three sons as wards of her father-in-law. Her husband remarried five years after her death, but he had no other children. (Info from Linda Chesser of Indiana) READ, William Benjamin (I14022)
