2205	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.	VAN EGMONT, Cornelis Sergetsen (I594769122)

2209	Aeneas Shaw of Tordarroch, 9th Chief of Clan Ay was the son of Alexander Shaw of Tordarroch, 8th Chief of Clan Ay and Anna McIntosh. He married Isabel Dallas, daughter of William Dallas of Cantray and Isobel Dallas. --- He was also known as Angus Shaw. --- He gained the rank of Lieutenant in 1715 in the Mackintosh's Regiment. He fought in the Battle of Preston in November 1715, where he was taken prisoner at Preston and confined to Newgate Prison. He was sent to the American Plantations but was pardoned after some years on giving security for his future allegiance to the reigning family. --- In 1720 he had a grant of Tordarroch from The Mackintosh. On 15 September 1724 he was present with the other Chiefs of Clan Chattan at Moy, when Lachlan Macpherson of Cluny renounced his claim to the heaship of Clan Chattan in favour of The Mackintosh. In 1727 he subscribed to the Clan Fund of. In 1745 in accordance with his promise of allegiance avoided the Rising and was afterwards appointed a Magistrate. --- Children of Aeneas Shaw of Tordarroch and Isabel Dallas • Anne Shaw • Margaret Shaw2 d. 1833 • Alexander Shaw of Tordarroch, b. 1737, d. 30 May 1811 • Aeneas Shaw b. 1739/40, d. 6 Feb 1814 • Major John Shaw2 b. 1748 Citations [S37] BP2003 volume 3, page 3587. See link for full details for this source. Hereinafter cited as. [S37] [S37] BP2003. [S37] --- 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.

2210	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.

2211	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] Source: lorenfamily.com	WESSEX & KENT, Aethelwulf King Of (I7176)
2212	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.	PERCY, Ralph (I5009)
