1801 According to the "Dictionary of National Biography", in the article on Hugh of Avaranches, Earl of Chester, Thurstan (Toustein) was unfaithful to DUKE WILLIAM [of Normandy (RIN 798)] in 1040 and helped HENRY, KING OF FRANCE (RIN 1198) in his invasion of Normandy. His son RICHARD remained loyal and made his father's peace with THE DUKE GOZ, Thurstan I Le (I673)
 
1802 According to the author of Virginia Roots: "Nicholas' wife was claimed to be Mary Travers, daughter of Rawleigh and Hannah Travers who he married 5 May 1654 in Essex, Virginia, British Colonial America. According to "Hale/Haile/Heal genealogy, the biographical information of Nicholas Hale indicated that he and his wife only had 3 children. However, "Nicholas Hale, no doubt had several sons in addition to Nicholas, Jr. However, the births of of the older children are listed in the local parish records and marriage dates are, of course unavailable on those who had already moved west." Yet in addition to George, his sons appear to have been: John, who with George when he was laying out the town of Lancaster in 1682; Francis; Joseph; Richard and Nicholas or others who spread among the Tidewater counties of the Chesapeake."
__________________________________________________

The father of George Hale, Sr. of Lancaster was Nicholas Hale, the immigrant, who came to Elizabeth City County, Virginia, in 1645. He had a plantation in York County in 1648 and acquired large holdings in Lancaster County following its formation 1651.
Nicholas Hale was living on his plantation in York County, but he moved to Lancaster County in 1655 and was living there as late as 1663. His sons, in addition to George, appear to have been: John, who with George was paid for laying out the town of Lancaster in 1682; Francis; Joseph; Richard; Nicholas; and possibly others, who spread among the Tidewater counties of the Chesapeak Bay, their descendants being legion."
Due to the custom of primogeniture (passing property down from father to oldest son) George Heale/Haile succeeded to Nicholas' property was the eldest son.
He married Ellen Rogers well before his 30 Dec 1697 death date. George was probably a son of Nicholas Heale/Haile of Elizabeth City, York, and Lancaster counties. The bride was a daughter of Capt. John and Ellen Rogers of North Carolina. (See Virginia, Marriages of the Northern Neck of Virginia.)
The pedigree chart in Memories shows George Haile c1647-1697 married Ellen Rogers 1655-1710, and they were the parents of Nicholas Hale c1679-1730 who married Frances "Broad" Garrett. (Pedigree in "The Family of Cleveland Eldred Shook" by Henry Earl Close, Jr.) These relationships are also supported in "Roots in Virginia" pages 6-8.
The source "Roots in Virginia" pages 7-8, states Nicholas Hale, Sr. of Baltimore County, Maryland married Frances "Broad" Garrett, and lists their children.
The next paragraph states "George Hale, father of Nicholas, Sr. of Baltimore County, was a Justice in Lancaster County, Virginia, in 1684, a Burgess 1695-1697, and his will, leaving a large estate in lands, was probated January 12, 1698... George Hale and his wife, Ellen, who died in 1710, left in addition to their son had the following children:
[1.] Nicholas, Sr., who settled in Maryland, [and married Frances "Broad" Garrett]
[2.] Hannah, who married Col. William Ball, the third generation of a distinguished name in Virginia;
[3.] Capt. George Hale, Justice and Sheriff of Lancaster, who married Catherine Chinn, daughter of John Chinn, and among whose children were Ellen who married David Ball and Catheirne who married John Cannaday of Maryland;
[4.] John, a Justice of Lancaster County;
[5.] Joseph, a Justice, whose daughter Anne married Moore Fauntleroy, son of William of Richmond County;
[6.] Ellen;
[7.] Elizabeth;
[8.] Sarah, who married Newman Brockenborough of Richmond County;
[9.] William, who married Priscilla Downman, daughter of William and Million (Travers) Downman, and granddaughter of Col. Rawleigh Travers...
This was George. He expanded his father's holdings along the Corotoman and served as Justice in Lancaster County during the 1680s and '90s. He married the daughter of a Captain John Rogers. They had three children: George, Nicholas a.
In 1654, when he gave a power of Attorney to Dr. Thomas Roots of Lancaster County, Nicholas Hale was living on his plantation in York County, but he moved to Lancaster County in 1655 and was living there as late as 1663. His sons, in addition to George, appear to have been: John, who with George was paid for laying out the town of Lancaster in 1682; Francis; Joseph; Richard; Nicholas; and possibly others, who spread among the Tidewater counties of the Chesapeake Bay, their descendants being legion."

William Ball is named as son in law and overseer and is also a witness to the will of George Heale, Hannah Heale's father. Item number 7 in George Heale's will reads as follows: #7 - My son George to be Executor and my loving friend ROBERT CARTER and my SON IN LAW Mr. WILLIAM BALL ye overseers of this my will written 30 December 1697.. /s/ George Heale Wit: Joseph Ball, James Innes, William Ball

George Heale was born in the 1650's in Virginia, he married Ellen sometime before 1682. His home in Lancaster County was known as Peach Hall. He received grants for land in Lancaster County around 1692. His will was dated December 1697. And Ellen died around October 1710 in Lancaster County.

George was a justice of Lancaster Court 1684, and he served in House of Burgesses 1695, 1697. Ellen's parents were Captain John Rogers of Northumberland Co (1620-1680) and his first wife, Ellen, according to research done by Carlton Lee Hudson (in The Virginia Genealogist, 1967)

1803 According to the Compton/Wyngates John Compton the 1st would be the son of Thomas Compton and his father was Henry Compton and His Father was Peter Compton. This is where it get confusing Henry Compton Had nephew named Henry he was The Bishop of London He adopted John the 1st when his father Thomas Died and brought him back to England and then sent him back to America. -------------------- Comptons are an ancient family, traceable to the Anglo-Saxon Alwyne, circa (ca.) 1042, a contemporary to King Edward the Confessor, in the times before surnames. "Compton" means a settlement (town) in or on a hill. Alwyne's son Turchill (or Turchid), Saxon Earl of Warwick at the time of the Norman conquest (1066), did not assist the English King Harold (contrary to his father, who "fought valiantly" against the invading forces according to Comptonology), thereby earning the gratitude of William the Conqueror. (See also Wynyates for a narrative of this early history. Lord Compton cites Collins, whom I have been unable to locate.) He was therefore allowed to retain his lordship and many landholdings, and an inspection of the Domesday Book is replete with Compton estates. Turchill became one of the early English to have a surname "de Eardene" (presumably from his residence at Arden). His son Osbert had several sons, including Philip (ca. 1200), who were the first in the line to take the surname de Compton. Philip was followed in the line by Thomas, Philip, Robert, Robert, Thomas, Edmund, William, Robert, Edmund, William (where the Wm. Bingham Compton document ends, ca. 1482), son Compton (possibly Peter, b. ca. 1500), Henry, William, Spencer, to our first American William, b. 1622 in Gravesend, New York. The researcher can compare the Bingham Compton document to Wyngates and observe the close (but not completely consistent) parallels in the genealogies. There is an ancestral (portions dating back to the 12th century) castle in Warwick, England, called Compton Wynyates [sometimes referred to as Wyngates], or "Compton in the Hole" (for its topography), which has been modified over the years and circumstances. The castle is the principal subject of Compton Wynyates. COMPTONS For a discussion of this and other coats of arms, see Compton Wynyates, p,. 28 citation infra. This one is the most distinguished of the Comptons, traceable to Sir William Compton. The royal lion here was conferred by Henry VIII.

1804 According to the Hatcher Families Genealogy Association -
https://hatcherfamilyassn.com/getperson.php?personID=I40980&tree=WmTheIm

Susannah
The Hatcher surname previously given is almost certainly an error. Both sons John Burton and Abraham Burton can be presumed to have Y-DNA from William Hatcher, Sr. because many of their direct male descendants test positive for that Y-DNA. The most plausible theory as to how this happened is that Susan married a son of William, Sr., specifically William, Jr., and that all of the sons of William, Jr., became step sons ("sons-in-law" in those days) of Thomas Burton. (The best argument against this is wondering if all of the sons were renamed, including the eldest son as Thomas Burton, Jr.? However, in those days, Sr. and Jr. meant mostly "the elder" and "the younger," and if William Jr. had named his son Thomas, and Thomas Burton adopted him and gave him his last name, Thomas would indeed have become "the younger Thomas Burton.")

The next best theory asks whether or not Thomas Burton, Sr. is a son (bastard or otherwise) of William Hatcher, Sr., who gave a Deed of Gift to Thomas Burton, Jr. for some unknown reason. This latter theory stretches credulity, and is thus discounted, because the surrounding facts (dates, relationships, etc.) don't easily line up. (Thomas Burton, Sr. is believed to have been born in 1620-1630, whereas William Hatcher is believed to have been born about 1613. Records of Burton arrivals in Virginia do not include Thomas, etc.)

The Burton chronicles suggest Susan's surname might be Lockett because when Thomas Lockett made his will on 1 Jun 1686 he mentioned a daughter Susan. Lockett was a near neighbor of Thomas Burton, and their names appear on several documents related to both in various capacities. However, other documents seem to negate this possibility, proving that Susan Lockett married somebody else.

Susannah (Lockett?) Hatcher is presumed to have married Thomas Burton, Sr. at some point after the conception of her youngest child, Anne (given that Abraham and Anne are so close in age; Abraham is proven to be a Hatcher by Y DNA). This could have been any time after the death of her presumed first husband, William Hatcher, Jr.

From the Burton Chronicles we learn that Thomas Burton, Sr. and his presumed brother, John Burton, acquired the Cobbs estate circa 1656. Five years later, in 1661, John patented his own estate of "Longfield," which was located on the north bank of the James River (it is not known when he actually moved). John is believed to have married before 1650, which meant that John and his wife provided a family for Thomas, and when they left for the other side of the James, Thomas would have been left almost alone. Presumably this provided some motivation for Thomas to marry the widow Susannah.
Descendants of at least John Burton, Sr. and youngest son Abraham test out as having Y DNA the same as men who descend from William "the immigrant" Hatcher. William, Sr. had a son, William, Jr., who was listed as unmarried at the time of an early death. The best view of the evidence is that Susannah Hatcher was William, Jr.'s spouse instead of William, Sr.'s daughter, and that upon remarriage, step-father Thomas Burton, Sr. gave his surname to William, Jr.'s biological children (this would have not been unusual in that day and age).

While Thomas Burton, Jr. died without issue, it is true that William, Sr., gave him a special deed of gift, which was his only written will. So, there was clearly a close connection between these Burton and Hatcher families. Why didn't the deed of gift also mention the other sons of Thomas, Sr.? The answer lies in the habits of England in those times, where the main property descends to only the eldest son, while the other children receive smaller gifts and bequests out of what remains. So, it seems that William Hatcher, Sr. decided to make a special bequest to the eldest son of his own (deceased) eldest son, William Hatcher, Jr., which would again not have been unusual in those times.

If multiple sons of Thomas Burton, Sr. have Hatcher Y-DNA, then how about Thomas, Sr.? There are some indications that Susannah's surname was not actually Hatcher (somebody may have ascribed that surname to her based upon William, Sr.'s, deed of gift). So, maybe Thomas, Sr. was the actual (bastard) son of William, Sr.?

These questions and many more await factual proof before we can deduce answers.

1805 According to the records kept by George Wright, Sr., James was wealthy in England but was defrauded of his property, so he came to America with his wife and children. He settled in Saybrook, CT, near the mouth of the Conn. River, where he farmed there the remainder of his life.

Immigrated to Saybrook in 1750.

The Founding of Peace Church in 1743 Main History Page Martin Luther and The Reformation Peace Church Today Parts of the following accounts on this page and the next are paraphrased from the book: Faith and Community A History of Peace-Tohickon Evangelical Lutheran Church By Susan Wombwell Clemens, 1992 By 1625, German, Dutch and Scandinavian Lutherans came to the New World seeking religious freedoms, They initially settled in New Amsterdam (New York City).
In 1638, more Lutherans came to Delaware. Later, in the early 1700's many Germans arrived in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Pastor Henry Melchior Muhlenberg came to Trappe, Pennsylvania in 1742, seven years later he founded the first Lutheran synod in North America. This brings us to the founding of our own congregation in Bucks County, over 250 years ago. (links to ELCA Homepage references) In 1743, on a piece of land approximately one mile north of the present location of Peace-Tohickon Lutheran Church was the property of a German settler named Peter Gruber. His family, along with neighbors formed the first congregations known in that time as St. Peter's Union Church.
Lacking a separate church building, these families likely met in Gruber's home or barn for worship services. Muhlenberg notes that "regular ministers" began visiting the congregation sometime between 1743 and 1744 at Birkensee (German pronunciation of the English word, Perkasie. This area of land, located in the Manor of Perkasie was originally part of William Penn's land grant from King Charles II in England. The name Perkasie is derived from the local Indian word for this area, "Poekskos-sing". Transcribed literally, it means, "Where hickory nuts were cracked".) (link to Perkasie Historical Society?)
The term "Union Church" comes from the sharing of two separate congregations in the same building. At the time, neither the Lutherans nor Reformed congregations of this area could afford to build separate places of worship. Thus, Upper Bucks County is home to many former Union Churches that often share similar names within a single community, with one congregation Lutheran ? and the other belonging to the United Church of Christ. The early name of the Peace Lutheran congregation was called Tohickon Lutheran church, reflecting its close proximity to the Tohickon Creek nearby.
The first actual church building was standing by 1753 when a portion of land was deeded over to the trustees of the Reformed and Lutheran congregations. The actual details of this building are unknown, and it is assumed that the building may have been a typical log type structure. Thirteen years later on May 8th, 1766 a new stone church was dedicated on the site. Henry Rapp, the Lutheran Pastor named the new church "templum pacis" or Peace Church. In the years that followed, Peace Church stood through the American Revolution and the birth of a new nation.
The bond between the Lutherans and St. Peter's Reformed congregation continued to grow throughout the early 1800's. With the combined resources of the two congregations in 1838 a new stone church was erected for $3,000.00 (This building still exists today as St. Peter's United Church of Christ). The new church boasted a new wooden floor, replacing the dirt floor of the old church. The new building also had another modern marvel ? a heating system.
Finally, a new Krauss Organ was installed to provide music for the sanctuary. That mid 1800's saw many changes to the area surrounding the church. While the land directly around the church remained rural farmland, Perkasie grew tremendously with the coming of the "Iron Horse". Much of this growth can be attributed to the North Pennsylvania Railroad (RR Map) extended its line into upper Bucks County.
As an interesting footnote; the run of the line from Philadelphia to Allentown reached an abrupt halt where "The Ridge" met the Railroad. The wall created by the mountainous ridge required the building of the tunnel. The tunnel, which is still in use today was hand dug and completed by 1853. In its day, the Perkasie tunnel was one of the longest in the world. From the founding of the church, until the early 1900's the liturgy of Peace-Tohickon Lutheran Church was always spoken in German. During the First World War, pressure was put upon German speaking Lutheran congregations to conduct their services in English.
Peace gradually complied by interspersing more and more English services until the German voice was silent in the church. Today, Peace-Tohickon conducts a partial service in German on our annual "Old Fashioned Sunday" in October. On Christmas Eve 1999 Peace once again recognized their German heritage by singing Stille Nacht (Silent Night) in German. Another interesting feature from the early 1900's were the "wagon sheds" next to the church. Although many families walked to the church, more came from the surrounding countryside by horse and buggy. The church built 6 to 8 parallel rows of sheds to accommodate and protect the horse and buggy during the inclement weather.
By 1933, the sheds fell into disrepair and were torn down. 100 tons of crushed stone later created a modern parking lot for the new vehicle -- the automobile. Music has always been at the heart of the Lutheran service. In 1918, a Durner Organ was installed for $2850. This nine stop, air driven instrument gave plenty of exercise to the church sexton who was in charge of hand pumping during the service.
Finally, in 1930 when electricity arrived at the church, the air was supplied via electric blowers, much to the relief of the church sexton. In the time following World War II, growth and prosperity was felt across the nation. Both the Reformed and Lutheran congregations grew in numbers and programs. It became evident in the 1950's that the current church building would need major modifications or a more radical solution. That radical solution was to arise in 1957. Earlier in the decade "seeds" were planted by the Ministerium to encourage the dissolution of Union churches. Later in the decade it became clear that both congregations would benefit by creating separate worship facilities. Thus, a bond that lasted 215 years was legally broken on August 25, 1957.
In the end, the Reformed congregation stayed in the 1838 stone building. The Lutherans set out to build their own church. Marriage 1 Anna Barbara ? b: ABT 1709 in Palatinate Section , German speaking country Married: ABT 1730 in Palatinate Section , Germany

1812 Ad?le of France[a] known also as Adela the Holy or Adela of Messines; (1009 ? 8 January 1079, Messines), she was the Countess of Normandy (January 1027? August 1027), Countess of Flanders (1035? 1067).Ad?le was the second daughter of Robert II (the Pious), and Constance of Arles.[1] In January 1027 she married Richard III, Duke of Normandy.[2] The marriage was short-lived for on 6 August of that same year Richard III suddenly died.[2] Adela then married Baldwin V, Count of Flanders in 1028.[3]

Ad?le's influence lay mainly through her family connections. On the death of her brother, Henry I of France, the guardianship of his seven-year-old son Philip I fell jointly on his widow, Ann of Kiev, and on his brother-in-law, Adela's husband, so that from 1060 to 1067, they were Regents of France.[4Ad?le had a strong interest in Baldwin V's church reforms and was behind her husband's founding of several collegiate churches. Directly or indirectly, she was responsible for establishing the Colleges of Aire (1049), Lille (1050) and Harelbeke (1064) as well as the abbeys of Messines (1057) and Ename (1063). After Baldwin's death in 1067, she went to Rome, took the nun's veil from the hands of Pope Alexander II and retired to the Benedictine convent of Messines, near Ypres. There she later died and was buried at the convent. Honoured as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church, her commemoration day is 8 September.[5]

Bertiniana names "filiam Rodberti regis Francorum Adelam" wife of "Balduinum Insulanum"[231]. The Genealogi? Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Alam comitissam Flandrensem" the daughter of King Robert[232]. Corbie was her dowry[233]. The Liber traditionum of Gant Saint-Pierre commemorates the donations of "Baldwinus junior marchysus filius Baldwini marchysi et Odgev? comitiss? cum conjuge sua Adala", undated[234]. She founded the Benedictine monastery at Messines near Ypres. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "VI Id Jan" of "Adelaidis comitissa"[235].

1813 Adalbert was the Duke of Alsace beginning after 683 and probably until his death. He was the second duke of the family of the Etichonids and the first to inherit the duchy from his father.

The son of Adalrich and Berswinda, Adalbert was created Count of the Sundgau by his father circa 683. It is unknown if Adalbert appointed another count to succeed him after taking over the ducal office, exercised the comital powers himself, or left the office vacant. Under Adalbert, Etichonid control of the offices of the duchy of Alsace and of the monasteries of the region became entrenched.

Adalbert seems to have concentrated his power in northern Alsace (the later Nordgau) around the Diocese of Strasbourg. He founded the convent of Saint Stephen at Strasbourg and installed his daughter Attala as its first abbess. In 722 he established a monastery in honour of the Saint Michael the Archangel on an island in the Rhine north of Strasbourg. This last establishment was co-founded by a group of monks from Ireland led by the first abbot, Benedict. Honau passed to King Theuderic IV on Adalbert's death.

Adalbert's first wife was Gerlinda (perhaps of Aquitaine); his second wife was Ingina,[1] a wealthy woman of Alsace. Adalbert had three daughters: Eugenia, Gundlinda and Attala.[1] The first two entered the nunnery of their aunt Odilia at Hohenburg, where Eugenia eventually succeeded as abbess. Gundlinda was later abbess of Niederm?nster. In 845 the Emperor Lothair I confirmed all the charters which Adalbert had granted to his foundation at Strasbourg. Some attribute the daughters to Gerlinda while others attribute them to Ingina. Adalbert had two sons: Liutfrid and Eberhard. Liutfrid made Eberhard a count as early as the 720s. The sons are consistently attributed to Ingina.

1814 Adalbert's first wife was Gerlinda (perhaps of Aquitaine); his second wife was Ingina, a wealthy woman of Alsace. Adalbert had three daughters: Eugenia, Gundlinda and Attala.

1815 Adalrich (Latin: Adalricus; reconstructed Frankish: *Adalrik; died after c. 683 AD), also known as Eticho, was the Duke of Alsace, the founder of the family of the Etichonids and of the Habsburg,and an important and influential figure in the power politic of late-seventh-century Austrasia.

Adalrich's family originated in the pagus Attoariensis around Dijon in northern Burgundy. In the mid-seventh century they began to be major founders and patrons of monasteries in the region under a duke named Amalgar and his wife Aquilina.[2] They founded a convent at Br?gille and an abbey for men at B?ze, installing children in both abbacies. They were succeeded by their third child, Adalrich, who was the father of Adalrich, Duke of Alsace.

Adalrich first enters history as a member of the faction of nobles which invited Childeric II to take the kingship of Neustria and Burgundy in 673 after the death of Chlothar III. He married Berswinda, a relative of Leodegar, the famous Bishop of Autun, whose party he supported in the civil war which followed Childeric's assassination two years later (675). Adalrich was duke by March 675, when Childeric had granted him honores in Alsace with the title of dux and asked him to transfer some land to the recently founded (c. 662) abbey at Gregoriental on behalf of Abbot Valedio. This grant was most probably the result of his support for Childeric in Burgundy, which had often disputed possession of Alsace with Austrasia. Later writers saw Adalrich as the successor in Alsace of Duke Boniface. After Childeric's assassination, Adalrich threw his support behind Dagobert II for the Austrasian throne.

Adalrich abandoned Leodegar and went over to Ebroin, the mayor of the palace of Neustria, sometime before 677, when he appears as an ally of Theuderic, who granted him the monastery of B?ze. Taking advantage of the assassination of Hector of Provence in 679 to bid for power in Provence, he marched on Lyon but failed to take it and, returning to Alsace, switched his support to the Austrasians once more. After the assassination of Dagobert II, Adalrich was dispossessed of his lands in Alsace by the now undisputed king Theuderic III, who was controlled by Ebroin. Adalrich's possessions fell to the Abbey of B?ze that year.

1816 Adam Binkly, general merchant, was born in what is now Cheatham County, February 23, 1838. He is the son of James and Lucinda (Smith) Binkly and is of German extraction. His father was born about the year 1801 in Tennessee, and his mother about 1816. His grandfather was Jacob Binkly who immigrated to Tennessee at an early day and died in this State. BINKLEY, Adam F. (I26872)
 
1817 Adam de Swynburn (Swynburne)

Adam Swinburne was born about 1258 at Hexham, Northumberland, England.

Adam was the son of John de Swinburne and his wife, Anicia.

Adam was dead before 5 September, 12 Edward II [1318].

Marriages
He married first to Margery, by whom came the manor of Lanerton near Bramton in Cumberland.

He married second to Idonea, daughter of Henry Graham, by whom came the manor of Simunburn.

Children By Margery:
1.) Christiana de Swynburn, married John de Widdrington.

2.) Elizabeth de Swinburne, married Roger Heron of Ford and Crookham, Knt.

By Idonea:
1.) Barnaba, born circa 1292, aged 34 on 11 November 1326;

2.) Henry, born 1296-7, aged 21 or 22 and heir to his father in 1318, not his father's heir in 1326 so presumably dead by then without any surviving children.

A Writ regarding Adam de Swynburne was issued on 5 September, 12 Edward II, after which Inquisitions held the same year in Northumberland and Cumberland found that Henry his son, aged 21 or 22 was his son and heir.

Eight years later, on 12 December, 20 Edward II [1326], a second Writ was issued regarding Adam de Swynburn alias de Swynburne, and the subsequent Inquisitions held that year found that Adam's heirs were: his daughter, Barnaba, aged 34 on the feast of St Martin in the Winter [11 November] last; Gerard de Woderyngton, aged 24 on the feast of St Michael [29 September] last, son of Adam's daughter, Christiana; and William Heron, aged 22 on the feast of St Andrew last [30 November], son of Adam's daughter, Elizabeth.

Adam held property in:

Cumberland:
* Bothcastel, the manor held of Ranulph de Dacre, lord of Gillesland, and his wife, Margaret de Multon, as of the inheritance of Margaret, as of the manor of Burgh, which had been partly destroyed by the Scots;

* the manor of Lunorton (Lanerton) also held of Ranulph de Dakre and Margaret his wife;

1820 Adam Mott was born in Cambridge, England, on 12 August 1596 to John Mott and Elizabeth Hollis.
He [Adam] married1 Elizabeth Creel on 28 October 1616. They had four children: John (1618), Adam (1623), Jonathan (1626), and Elizabeth (1629) who married Edward Thurston in Rhode Island.

1632 - 1635 July
[Spouse1] Elizabeth died in 1632, and Adam married [Spouse2] Sarah Jennings Lott on 11 May 1635. Sarah had a daughter from her previous marriage to Engelbert Pieters Lott. Her [dtr's] name was Mary Lott (b. 1630). Adam, his wife Sarah, and their five children boarded the ship Defence [Defiance] in London in July [1635] for the voyage to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in New England. Those listed above are on the passenger list for the ship.
Before embarking, Adam "brought testimony from the Justices of [the] Peace, and minister in Cambridge, of his conformity to and discipline of the Church of England". In all likelihood, Adam, a tailor, also had all of his wealth -- we have no idea how much that may have been.

Taking a moment here: the planning for this move had to have begun long before Adam married Mary [Sarah]. To cut his ties to England he would have to liquidate all his property and convert it to gold or currency. There was probably no business to sell, and whether or not he owned his home is unknown. There may have been little or no wealth. But, there was not such thing as having his English bank wire his whatever funds there may have been to his American bank. One would assume that Mary [Sarah] was aware of Adam's plans when they were married [on 11 May 1635].

1635 Oct 8 - 1636 May 25
Arriving in Boston after a three-month voyage on 8 Oct 1635, with [we believe] all the family having survived, Adam set up residence in Roxbury where he is recorded as a Freeman on 25 May 1636 [Freeman = Landowner]. Roxbury was one of the first settlements in the Colony and "It was said that the best people settled in Roxbury. They were people of substance, many of them farmers, none being 'of the poorer sort."

Adam and Sarah were members of the 'First Church' at Roxbury. The denomination is not known but most certainly Puritan. Adam later removed his family to Hingham, MA where he received a Land Grant. How he acquired the property in Roxbury or the Hingham Land Grant is unknown; nor is his occupation known; historically he was a tailor by trade.

What is known: Adam moved to Massachusetts with evidence of conformity with the Anglican Church of England. The Pilgrims left England in 1620 and settled in Plymouth because they were unhappy with the lax practices of the Church of England. The Puritans arrived in Massachusetts Bay (Boston) and Puritanism became the official religion of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
They began civil trials, rendering punishments to those who did not comply/conform with their religious laws. In the same month Adam & his family landed in Boston, 'Roger Williams' was convicted in Civil Court of failure to conform to religious laws and was ordered to leave the colony [and the Church].

? 1636 Roger Williams
By the summer of 1636 [Roger] Williams had relocated to Narragansett Bay and purchased Aquidneck Island from the Narragansett Indians for some colored beads. The Indians used colored seashells as currency, so colored beads were just another denomination of currency. Williams had good relations with the Narragansetts, and he and the Indians welcomed new settlers to the island.

1638
By 1638 Adam Mott moved his family to the island [Aquidneck] and was one of the first settlers who signed the compact of government.
Adam and Sarah had 3 more sons during their early years in Massachusetts and Rhode Island: Eleazer, Gersham, and Jacob.

? 1638-1667 Colonial Records
The colonial records indicate the following entries for Adam and his family:
1638 - Adam Mott is granted one of the thirteen lots on the west side of the spring for building.
1638 - January 2. Adam Mott is present at a general meeting of the Body for Town of Portsmouth.
1638 - Adam and John Mott are listed among the persons "admitted to be Inhabytants of the Island now called Aqueedneck." [Previously, Rhode Island was known by its Indian name: Aquidneck Island. On maps both names were listed, until Aquidneck Island was dropped in 1930.]
1640 - April 26. Adam Mott given on loan one yearling goat.
1640 - Adam Mott among those asking "to be reunited to this body" [in the General Court in the town of Newport].
1640 - Adam Mott and others "are chosen to the service of laying out the Lands for the Towne of Portsmouth."
1641 - March 16. Adam Mott in list for "the Court of Freemen, with the officers, as they were elected on the 16th of March, 1641."
1642 - March 17, Adam Mott is elected as clerk for the General Court at Newport, 1644, May 27. Adam Mott mentioned as having a "lower lott" [land]
1644 - "It is further ordered, that Mr. Baulston shall have nine pound a yeare for John Mott's washing and diett"
1653 - May 17, Jonathan Mott is listed as a Freeman of Portsmouth.
1655 - Adam Mott, Sr., and Adam Mott, Jr., listed as Freemen of Portsmouth.
1659 - Adam Motts' home was used as a Friends Meetinghouse.
1667 - 6 May, Adam Mott serving on the Grand Jury of "The Genrl Court of Tryalls " held at Newport.

? Amsterdam, New Netherland 1646-1648
In addition to the Rhode Island colonial records, Adam is recorded as having visited the Dutch community of New Amsterdam on numerous occasions:
23 Aug 1646 -"Patent. Adam Mott; 25 morgens land on the west side of Mespachtes Kill."
14 Aug 1647 - "Appeared before us, Cornelius Tienhoven, Secretary in New Netherlands, Adam Mott, as attorney of Mr. Richard Smith, who acknowledged that he received from William Thomassen, skipper, on the Falconer, the sum 85 Guilders, for which sum William Thomassen aforesaid remained bail on the 14th of August, 1647. And will in behalf of John Wilcox and Isaac Allerton, appear for the note of hand signed by John Wilcox. Wherefore Adam Mott discharged William Thomassen aforsaid of his bailment for John Wilcox, and promises that he will not molest him in any manner on this account. In truth whereof the discharge was signed by Adam Mott, John Rodenhurgh, Jacob Kipp, as witnesses, last of August, 1648, in New Netherlands."
17 Jul 1648 - "Adam Mott; I intreat you to receive ___ Guilders of skipper Witt, for the use of your loving friend; Richard Smith."
30 Sep 1647 - "Declarations: William Cock and Adam Mott, that George Homs' wife called Robert Butler's wife a w---e."
31 Aug 1648 - "Receipt Adam Mott, agent of Richard Smith, for 85 guilders paid by William Tomassen, skipper."
31 Aug 1648 - "It seems indubitable that besides the two men of this name in Portsmouth, R.I., there was another with precisely the same name at Manhattan Which one of the three is alluded to here, and in the later references, must be left to the judgment of the reader. The close connection with Richard Smith shown by the entries in Vol. III , July 17, and Aug. 31, 1648 , suggests the presence in New York, for a time, of the younger Adam of Portsmouth."

[The colony of New Netherlands was established by the Dutch West India Company in 1624. The successful Dutch settlement on the southern tip of Manhattan Island was later christened New Amsterdam, the capital of New Netherlands. In 1664 'Nieuw Amsterdam', alias Fort Orange, came under British control and was renamed Albany, after the Duke of Albany, who organized the Dutch surrender of New Amsterdam.]

1829 Adelheid von Aquitanien (franz?sisch Ad?la?de d'Aquitaine; * wohl 950; ? 15. Juni wohl 1004) war durch Heirat K?nigin von Frankreich und Stammmutter der Kapetinger.

Adelheid (auch Adelais) war die einzige Tochter des Herzogs Wilhelm III. von Aquitanien und dessen Ehefrau Adela von Normandie, einer Tochter des normannischen Jarl Rollo, Graf von Rouen, und dessen zweiter Frau Poppa von Bayeux. Adelheids Bruder war der Herzog Wilhelm IV. Eisenarm (? 995/96).

Adelheid heiratete Hugo Capet, den ?ltesten Sohn des Dux Francorum Hugos ?des Gro?en" ? gemeint ist hier ?der ?ltere" ? und dessen dritter Ehefrau Hadwig, Tochter des deutschen K?nigs Heinrich I. Die Ehe diente der Etablierung friedlicher Beziehungen zwischen den Robertinern, die ihre Machtbasis im Norden (Franzien) hatten, und den aquitanischen Herz?gen, deren Herrschaftsbereich sich zwischen Loire, Rhone und Garonne erstreckte.

Aus der Ehe gingen vier Kinder hervor:

Hedwig (Avoie, * wohl 969, ? nach 1013) ? um 996 Graf Reginar IV. von Hennegau und Mons (? 1013) (Reginare)
Gisela (* wohl 970, ? um 1000) ? vor 987 Hugo I. von Montreuil, Graf von Ponthieu
Robert II. der Fromme (* 972, ? 1031)
Adelheid/Aelis (* wohl 973)

Als Erzieher ihres Sohns Robert bestellte Adelheid Gerbert von Aurillac, der sp?ter als Silvester II. Papst wurde. Unter dem Einfluss seiner Mutter erhielt Robert eine streng christliche Erziehung.[7]

An der Seite ihres Gatten wurde Adelheid wohl am 3. Juli 987 in Noyon zur K?nigin von Frankreich gekr?nt. In dieser Stellung blieb sie bis zu Hugo Capets Tod am 24. Oktober 996. Laut Gerbert von Aurillac nannte Hugo Capet sie ?Gef?hrtin und Teilhaberin unseres K?nigtums".

Die fromme Adelheid gr?ndete die k?nigliche Kapelle (Chapelle royale oder Sainte Chapelle) und sp?tere Kirche Saint-Frambourg in Senlis. Im 17. Jahrhundert wird ihr auch die Translation der Reliquien des heiligen Frambourg zugeschrieben, die nach anderen Quellen bereits ein Jahrhundert zuvor erfolgte. Ferner stattete Adelheid die auf ihre Initiative wiedererrichtete Abbaye de femmes in Argenteuil mit zahlreichen G?tern aus. Als K?niginwitwe unterschrieb sie mehrere Urkunden ihres Sohns Robert, der nach dem Tod Hugo Capets neuer franz?sischer K?nig geworden war. Sie starb um 1004.

Adelheid of Aquitaine (French Ad?la?de d'Aquitaine; * probably 950; ? June 15, probably 1004) was Queen of France by marriage and progenitor of the Capetians.

Adelheid (also Adelais) was the only daughter of Duke Wilhelm III. of Aquitaine and his wife Adela of Normandy, a daughter of the Norman Jarl Rollo, Count of Rouen, and his second wife Poppa of Bayeux. Adelheid's brother was Duke Wilhelm IV Eisenarm (? 995/96).

Adelheid married Hugo Capet, the eldest son of Dux Francorum Hugos "the Great" - meaning "the elder" - and his third wife Hadwig, daughter of the German King Heinrich I. The marriage served to establish peaceful relations between the Robertines, the had their power base in the north (Francia), and the Aquitanian dukes, whose dominions stretched between the Loire, Rhone and Garonne.

The marriage produced four children:

Hedwig (Avoie, * probably 969, ? after 1013) ? around 996 Count Reginar IV of Hainaut and Mons (? 1013) (Reginare)
Gisela (* probably 970, ? around 1000) ? before 987 Hugo I of Montreuil, Count of Ponthieu
Robert II the Pious (* 972, ? 1031)
Adelheid/Aelis (* probably 973)

Adelheid appointed Gerbert von Aurillac to tutor her son Robert, who later became Pope Silvester II. Under the influence of his mother, Robert received a strict Christian upbringing.[7]

Adelheid was probably crowned Queen of France in Noyon on July 3, 987 at her husband's side. She remained in this position until Hugo Capet's death on October 24, 996. According to Gerbert von Aurillac, Hugo Capet called her "companion and partner in our kingdom".

The pious aristocracy founded the royal chapel (Chapelle royale or Sainte Chapelle) and later the church of Saint-Frambourg in Senlis. In the 17th century, she is also credited with translating the relics of Saint Frambourg, which according to other sources took place a century earlier. Adelheid also endowed the Abbaye de femmes in Argenteuil, which had been rebuilt on her initiative, with numerous goods. As dowager queen, she signed several charters from her son Robert, who had become the new French king after the death of Hugo Capet. She died around 1004.
Adelheid (also Adelais) was the only daughter of Duke Wilhelm III. of Aquitaine and his wife Adela of Normandy, a daughter of the Norman Jarl Rollo, Count of Rouen, and his second wife Poppa of Bayeux. Adelheid's brother was Duke Wilhelm IV Eisenarm (? 995/96).

Hedwig (Avoie, * probably 969, ? after 1013) ? around 996 Count Reginar IV of Hainaut and Mons (? 1013) (Reginare)
Gisela (* probably 970, ? around 1000) ? before 987 Hugo I of Montreuil, Count of Ponthieu
Robert II the Pious (* 972, ? 1031)
Adelheid/Aelis (* probably 973)

Adelheid appointed Gerbert von Aurillac to tutor her son Robert, who later became Pope Silvester II. Under the influence of his mother, Robert received a strict Christian upbringing.[7]

Adelheid was probably crowned Queen of France in Noyon on July 3, 987 at her husband's side. She remained in this position until Hugo Capet's death on October 24, 996. According to Gerbert von Aurillac, Hugo Capet called her "companion and partner in our kingdom".

The pious aristocracy founded the royal chapel (Chapelle royale or Sainte Chapelle) and later the church of Saint-Frambourg in Senlis. In the 17th century, she is also credited with translating the relics of Saint Frambourg, which according to other sources took place a century earlier. Adelheid also endowed the Abbaye de femmes in Argenteuil, which had been rebuilt on her initiative, with numerous goods. As dowager queen, she signed several charters from her son Robert, who had become the new French king after the death of Hugo Capet. She died around 1004.

Adolf on his interview at Ellis Island 6 July 1907 listed: his occupation: Mason Mother: Therzia R. Pink?? Going to Chicago to stay with uncle Anton Radakovis. Ship: Main, from Bremen.

Adolfs mother Theresia married Franz Wehofer as his third wife.

Marriage Records added Nov 2021: https://www.the-burgenland-bunch.org/ChurchRecords/Mischendorf/MischendorfMarriages.htm Mischendorf Marriage Records: 1895-1921 lists 3rd Marriage to Theresia Radakovits, and lists Father Michael Wehofer and mother Johanna Walter. Also records for 2nd marriage to Cacilia Schneller in 1905. This marriage didn't last long, as Franz was already in a relationship with Theresia Radakovits when Paul Wehofer went to America because Paul was already calling Theresia's son Adolf, his brother in 1908 even though Franz and Theresia were not married until 1910 (with records proof).

Theresia had an affair with Franz Wehofer when he was still married to C?cilia it is assumed, because by 1908 Adolf Radakovits was already being reffered to as a brother (step-brother) of Pal "Paul" Wehofer.

Theresia's son Paul came to America, he listed his destination on his immigration forms as Chicago Illinois to visit his brother Adolph (Radakovits).

1838 Adopted the last name van Voorhoudt AFTER arriving in America*

Is an ancestor of the Egmont and Schermerhorn families of Albany, New York City, and Staten Island. He is a descendant of the royal Egmont family of Holland. He was born about 1598/99 in the town of Voorhout, a small village near Leyden and Amsterdam, Holland.

"He is said to be descended from the Egmond Family that played an important role in the Netherlands during the Middle Ages, and has traced their descent from the Pagan kings,
(King Radboud I648-719 of Frisia)
Their chateau was on the North Sea, about three miles west of Alkmaar, and from 1423 to 1558, they were at the height of their power."

Egmond is today a village on the North Sea coast, part of the municipality of Bergen in the present-day Dutch province of Noord-Holland. Apart from being the centre of the medieval family which is shown below, Egmond was the location of one of the most important Benedictine abbeys in the county of Holland, founded in the 10th century.

Cornelis Segers by Stefan Bielinski

In November 1663, one Cornelis Segers Van Voorhout filed a joint will with his wife, one Bregje Jacobsen. At that time, he was identified as a farmer of "Rensselaerswyck Colony." The Dutch language document named a son, three daughters, and referenced the children of another deceased son. That New Netherland pioneer also was known by a variety of names and appears to be the first American ancestor of those Albany residents who would identify under the surname "Seeger."

Cornelis Segers appears to have arrived in the colony in 1642. In August 1643, he signed a contract and took up residence on a farm on Castle Island. Within a few years, the couple had drafted a will that stated "they possess nothing."

At the time of his arrival, his wife "Bregje" (the subject of a number of compiled profiles) was forty-five years old and, by that time, the couple reputedly had six children - all or most of them born in Europe. Thus, Cornelis Segers (the patriarch) may have been born prior to 1600.

In 1646, he appears to have taken over the other farm on the island formerly held by Adrian Van Der Donck.

In March 1649, he is said to have engaged the son of Thomas Coningh to help him with the harvest. It is unclear whether this and subsequent references to similarly named individuals (including a namesake son) refer to the Seeger family patriarch or to one of his descendants or other kin.

He appears to have died prior to 1680. With so many similarly unassignable references, and missing important demographic data, we move on for now from the life of the pioneer settler known as Cornelis Segers.
=========
Cornelius (Cornelise, Cornelis) Segerse (Segertse, Segersen) was an early settler in New Netherland. According to Richard Schermerhorn, he made a contract with Patroon Van Rensselaer on 25 August 1643, before sailing from Holland to America the following month aboard "Het Wapen Van Rensselaerwyck." The contract document gives his name as Cornelise Segertse van Egmont.

Cornelis was born born about 1599 at Egmond, North Holland, Netherland. He emigrated September 1643 from Voorhout, South Holland, Netherland to Rensselaerwyck, New Netherland on the Wapen Van Rensselaerwijck with his wife and six children, and settled at Rensselaerwyck.

At the time of his emigration he was about 44 years old. Accompanying him on the journey were his wife Brechje Jacobsen, 45 years old, and 6 children: Cornelis, 22; Claes, 20; Seger, 14; Lysbeth, 16; Jannetie, 10, and Neeltie, 8.

He settled in Rensselaerwyck and became a farmer at a time when most of the other Rensselaerwyck settlers were making their living as fur traders. His first farm was one of the two farms on Castle Island, near Albany, and was previously occupied by Brant Peelen, who had died. In 1646, he took over the other farm on the island for the remaining 3 years of the lease to Adrian Vanderdonck, thus controlling the entire island. An 1651 inventory of the farm of Cornelis Segers named his farm as Welysburgh and indicated that he owned 13 horses and 22 cows, that the farm contained 70 morgens, and the rent was 1210 guilders.

He made his will on 22 November 1662 and signed his name Cornelis Segersen [4] Richard Schermerhorn hypothesized that he belonged to the original Egmont family of Holland, but came to America from the town of Voorhout, which is near Leyden, and about 20 miles southwest of Amsterdam.

He died about 1677.

The '15 Rising

Under the command of William Mackintosh of Borlum, the tribes of Clan Chattan rose for the exiled King James VIII on 15, September 1715 near Tordarroch at Farr. Led by Robert Shaw, Younger of Tordarroch, with his brother Angus as Lieutenant, the Shaw contingent of Clan Chattan was often noted for being the most resolute, the best armed, equipped and composed in the Earl of Mar's army. After the collapse of the rising at Preston, both Robert and Angus were cruelly abused at the infamous Newgate Prison. Because of the severe tortures inflicted on him, Robert Shaw died soon after his release in 1718. Angus Shaw was transported to Virginia Colony where he lived and worked as an "indentured servant" or slave until he was ransomed by several Clan Chattan gentlemen and pardoned in 1722. On his return to the Highlands, he was forced to sign an oath of loyalty never to raise arms against the Hanoverian government again. Angus Shaw spent much of his adult life enlarging and improving Tordarroch.

The '45 ~ The Last Rising Of The Clans

At the commencement of the Rising of 1745, Angus Shaw of Tordarroch never forgot the harsh suffering he and his brother had undergone in prison after 'the Fifteen. Long did he remember the agonies of transportation and servitude in the Americas. Although sorely tempted, he forbid Clan Ay from taking up arms against the Government. Following Tordarroch's example, the elderly James Shaw of Dell remained at peace as well. As late as 1750, it was reported that ?the Shaws have two Chieftains of equal degree, Shaw of Tordarroch in Strathnairn and Shaw of Dell in Rothiemurchus, neither of whom were in arms, but some of their men were sent out under command of some gentlemen who had nothing to lose. ... In early April 1746, as the two opposing forces marched into Clan Chattan country, Angus Shaw of Tordarroch's sworn oath of loyalty to the Hanoverian government was near the breaking point. On the bitter morning of the 16th, with the two armies nearby at Culloden, Angus was prevented from fighting under the yellow banner of Clan Chattan only by the courage and common sense of his wife Isabel, who hid his weaponry, accoutrements and clothing and locked and bolted him in a sturdily secured closet.

SHAW, Lieut. Angus (I594771756)
 
1843 Aethelred I (d. April 871), king of Wessex and of Kent (865/866-871), son of Aethelwulf of Wessex.

By his father's will he should have succeeded to Wessex on the death of his eldest brother Aethelbald (d. 860). He seems, however to have stood aside in favour of his brother Aethelberht, king of Kent, to whose joint kingdoms he succeeded in 1865 or 866. Aethelred's reign was one long struggle against the Danes. In the year of his succession a large Danish force landed in East Anglia, and in the year 868 Aethelred and his brother Alfred went to help Burgred of Mercia against this host, but the Mercians soon made peace with their foes. In 871 the Danes encamped at Reading, where they defeated Aethelred and his brother, but later in the year the English won a great victory at a place called "Aescesdun." Two weeks later they were defeated at Basing but partially retrieved their fortune by a victory at "Maeretun" (perhaps Marden in Wiltshire), though the Danes held the field. In the Easter of this year Aethelred died, perhaps of wounds received in the wars against the Danes, and was buried at Wimborne. [Encyclopaedia Britannica]

1844 Aethelwulf, also spelled ETHELWULF (d. 858), Anglo-Saxon king in England, the father of King Alfred the Great. As ruler of the West Saxons from 839 to 856, he allied his kingdom of Wessex with Mercia and thereby withstood invasions by Danish Vikings.

The son of the great West Saxon king Egbert (ruled 802-839), Aethelwulf ascended the throne four years after the Danes had begun large-scale raids on the English coast. In 851 he scored a major victory over a large Danish army at a place called Aclea in Surrey. Aethelwulf then married his daughter to the Mercian king Burgred (853), and in 856 he himself married the daughter of Charles II the Bald, king of the West Franks. Aethelwulf was deposed by a rival faction upon his return from a pilgrimage to Rome in 856, but he continued to rule Kent and several other eastern provinces until his death. In addition to Alfred the Great (ruled 871-899), three of Aethelwulf's other sons became kings of Wessex. [Encyclopaedia Britannica]

1845 Affiliation
During 1462 and 1463, the Lancastrians attempted to destabilise the kingdom, ruled by their Yorkist enemy, Edward IV. These attempts were concentrated in the north of England and directed by the Lancastrian Queen, Margaret of Anjou (Henry VI's wife). The Earl of Warwick led campaigns to neutralise the Lancastrians in the north in the early 1460s. As a result, Sir Ralph Percy surrendered Bamburgh Castle to Edward IV, on Christmas Eve 1462 in return for a free pardon. Sir Ralph swore allegiance to Edward IV and, as part of Edward IV's policy of conciliation, Percy's lands were then returned to him. Sir Ralph took control of both Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh Castles, under his surrender agreement with Edward. Fighting in the north continued, exacerbated by a Scottish invasion led by James III, Margaret of Anjou and Henry VI in 1463. When the Scots sued for peace, Lord Montague was sent to arrange terms. On 25 April 1464, Montague was on his way to Norham. The Duke of Somerset (who had surrendered and sworn allegiance with Percy) and Percy, forswearing their oaths, attacked Montague with 5,000 men. The site of that battle was Hedgeley Moor, seven miles south of Wooler. Percy led Somerset's vanguard and was killed.
