Baldwin de Boelare came to England in 1105 when he was granted the Lordship of Montgomery, Wales in marriage with Sybil de Falaise. Sybil was the 'niece' of King Henry I. In this country he is recorded as Baldwin de Boulers, de Boullers, de Bollers or de Bullers. All Phonetic variations of de Boelare.
Baldwin was of a Flemish family from Boelare and his father was Stephen, Baron de Boelare. Boelare is now known as NederBoelare and is part of the town of Geraardsbergen, East Flanders, Belgium.
The de Boulers were based at Hen Domen, the original site for Montgomery Castle and it is from Baldwin that Montgomery gets its Welsh name, Trefaldwyn "The Town of Baldwin".
The de Boulers continued as a prominent Shropshire family, becoming the Bowdlers.
Montgomery Castle had been built in the 1070s (not long after the Norman conquest) by Roger, Earl of Shrewsbury who named it after his home in Normandy and had became the property of the crown in 1102 when Robert of Montgomery rebelled against the king. It was in an important location just east of the ford of Rhyd Whyman over the river Severn.
Montgomery was held by Baldwin de Boulers, his son Stephen (slain by Llywelyn ap Madog of Powys in 1152) and grandsons Robert and Baldwin who succeeded him. The de Boulers lost the Lordship after they were overrun by the Welsh in 1207. It is presumably from the first or second Baldwin that the Welsh name of Montgomery, Trefaldwyn (a mutation from Tre Baldwin) arose.
The castle fell into decay although it was briefly reoccupied in 1223 when the area came back under English control and the new castle of Montgomery was built.
The original Montgomery castle of the de Boulers is on a site known as Hen Domen and is situated to the west of the modern Montgomery town (Powys, Wales).
What was once a timber castle is now a large earthen mound (c8 metres high and 40 metres in diameter) with the earthworks of the bailey. The site, which is now partially covered with trees, is the most extensively excavated timber castle in Britain.

Baldwin FitzGilbert (died 1090) (alias Baldwin the Sheriff, Baldwin of Exeter, Baldwin de Meulles/Moels and Baldwin du Sap) was an Anglo-Norman magnate and one of the 52 Devon Domesday Book tenants-in-chief of King William the Conqueror.
He was originally from Meulles or nearby Le Sap, in Calvados, Normandy. He was a younger son of Gilbert, Count of Brionne and Count of Eu, in Normandy.
Together with his eldest brother Richard FitzGilbert, in 1066 Baldwin accompanied William Duke of Normandy in the Norman Conquest of England.[2]
Following William the Conqueror's successful siege of the Saxon city of Exeter, that king appointed Baldwin castellan of the newly built Rougemont Castle in Exeter, a royal castle, and appointed him hereditary Sheriff of Devon, which position he held until his death. Exeter Castle was thenceforth the official seat of the Sheriff of Devon. King William I also granted him the very large feudal barony of Okehampton in Devon, at the caput of which he built Okehampton Castle.[3][4]
Baldwin's fiefdom in Devon was the largest in that county,[5] listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as comprising 176 holdings, mostly manors or estates, except the first two listed holdings which consisted of groups of houses in Exeter and Barnstaple.[6] He is listed in the Domesday Book as "Baldvinus Vicecomes", literally translated as "Baldwin the Viscount", a Norman title signifying deputy to the Count of Devon, another Norman title called in the Anglo-Saxon language "Earl of Devon", which office was almost synonymous with the Sheriff of Devon, an Anglo-Saxon office, for which reason Baldwin is commonly known as "Baldwin the Sheriff".[7] These landholdings comprised the feudal barony of Okehampton, later held by the Courtenay family, later also feudal barons of Plympton and Earls of Devon.
Marriage & progeny
He married twice, firstly to Albreda and secondly to Emma. He had three sons, all of whom died childless, and one, possibly two, daughters:[8]
Richard FitzBaldwin, eldest son and heir.
William FitzBaldwin
Robert FitzBaldwin
Adeliza FitzBaldwin, her father's ultimate sole heiress.
Matilda FitzBaldwin (uncertain). She married William fitzWimund, who is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as holding land at Dolton, Devon in North Tawton Hundred, from his father-in-law Baldwin.[9]
Baldwin died in 1090. Following the deaths of his three sons without heirs, his daughter Adeliza was his ultimate sole heiress. | FITZGILBERT, Baldwin (I672075739)

Baldwin III The Young of Flanders (940 - January 1, 962) was Count of Flanders, who briefly ruled the County of Flanders (an area that is now northwestern Belgium and southwestern Holland), together with his father Arnulf I.
Baldwin III was born c. 940, The son of Arnulf I, Count of Flanders and his second wife, Adele of Vermandois, daughter of Herbert II, Count of Vermandois. His father, Arnulf I had made Baldwin co-ruler in 958, but Baldwin died before his father and was succeeded by his infant son Arnulf II, with his father acting as regent until his own death.
During his short rule, Baldwin was responsible for establishing the wool manufacturing industry at Ghent and markets at other towns in Flanders.[2] Baldwin III died on 1 January 962. After Baldwin's death, Arnulf I arranged for King Lothair of France to become the guardian of Baldwin's son Arnulf II.
In 961 Baldwin had married Mathilde Billung of Saxony, daughter of Herman, Duke of Saxony[4], by whom he had a son, his heir, Arnulf II, Count of Flanders. | DE FLANDRES, Comte Baudouin (Baldwin) III (I671953263)

Baldwin was a Fleming from Boelare, Flanders and was son of Stephen, Baron of Boelare. He came to England in 1105 when he was granted the Lordship of Montgomery by Henry I King of England in marriage with Sybil de Falaise. Sybil was the illegitimate daughter of Henry.
The language of Flanders was Dutch so he would have been Baldwin van Boelare (Baldwin of Boelare). The Normans however spoke French so to them he was Baldwin de Boulers. He is recorded as several other phonetic variations on this such as Baldwin de Boullers, de Bollers or de Bullers.
Baldwins' son Stephen (slain by Llywelyn ap Madog of Powys in 1152) and grandsons Robert and Baldwin succeeded him. The family lost the Lordship after they were overrun by the Welsh in 1207. The lordship was eventually sold by Stephen de Stanton, a son of Sybil, daughter of the first Baldwin, to Thomas de Erdington, of Erdington (Warwickshire) in 1214-15. The sale was confirmed by King John who, however, handed the lordship to Gwenwynwyn, Prince of Powys, in 1216; but he was almost immediately driven out by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth (Llywelyn the Great), Prince of Gwynedd.
It is believed that all modern Bowdlers come from Robert de Bollers (c1140-1203). His descendants settled on the English side of the border in Shropshire, where they remained for many generations. | DE BOULERS, Baldwin Lord Montgomery (I12884)

BENJAMIN MATTHEWS apparently migrated to Edgecombe County, NC with his brothers JOSEPH and WILLIAM.
He bought 200 acres on the North side of Swift Creek in Edgecombe County, NC on Aug. 19, 1746 [Edgecombe Co., NC Deed Book 3, p. 7].
He died intestate prior to September Court, 1762, when his daughter PHEBE MATTHEWS was granted administration of his estate.
His estate was sold Oct. 9, 1762, and account of sale was returned to court in January Court, 1763 [Watson, "Estate Records of Edgecombe Co., NC," Durham, NC: Seeman Printery, Inc., 1970, p. 176]. | MATTHEWS, Benjamin (I41322)

Benjamin Rush Sr. and Benjamin Rush Jr.
A careful review of the court records for Westmoreland, King George, Prince William, Spotsylvania, Orange, Caroline and Richmond Counties (image) demonstrates that Benjamin Rush Sr. never lived on his 387 acres in Spotsylvania County. The earliest record for Benjamin Rush Sr. is on 3 April 1717 in Richmond County when he and Joseph Alssup made a Performance Bond for Amee (Amy) Elkins, recent widow of James Elkins, assuring that she as Administrix would prepare a "true and perfect Inventory" of her late husband?s estate. [67] By 1722 they were married and living on 150 acres of her former husband?s land. Richard Elkins, a brother of James Elkins, was living on the remaining 100 acres. After King George County was formed in 1720, this land fell into Brunswick Parish then Hanover Parish of King George. In May 1723 Benjamin Rush was appointed a Constable for King George [73] and in July 1727 he was appointed Deputy Sheriff. [74] In that capacity he did appear at the Spotsylvania County court on two occasions: 2 September 1729 when he "made return of Richard Bryants & c." [75] and 2 March 1730/31 when he " returned John Grave {? Grame}, Gent." [76] In early May 1734, Benjamin Rush Sr. "of King George County" sold his 387 acres in Spotsylvania County to Joseph Strothers. [77, 78] Ironically, on the same day at Spotsylvania court his older brother, William Rush IV, was appointed a Constable in place of Michael Holt. [79] The remaining Spotsylvania Court entries for a "Benjamin Rush" appear to be William Rush IV?s second son and Mary Mylam's brother, Benjamin.
Amy and James Elkins previously had at least one son, Joseph, who was a minor and who at age 16 chose Benjamin Rush Sr. to be his guardian. [80] Joseph as the eldest son would at majority inherit his father's entire 250 acres. Benjamin Rush?s sale of his Spotsylvania property and removal to Prince William County may have been prompted by this Joseph's decision to sell the land that Amy and Benjamin Rush Sr. lived on in King George County to James Jones, a bricklayer, in August 1732. [81] However, Amy Elkins Rush did not give up her right of Dower in this property until 5 July 1734 - shortly after Benjamin?s Spotsylvania land sale. [82] In September 1735, Benjamin Rush Sr. purchased through Lease and Release 112 acres in Prince William County which extended to the "Occoquan River...{and}...upon Marompsco {Marumsco} Creek". [83, 84] Benjamin Sr. did not become either a Constable or Deputy Sheriff in Prince William County and his court appearances significantly decreased. Almost twenty years later, in May 1753, a license was granted him "to keep an Ordinary {tavern} at his home". [85]
Four years earlier in June of 1749, Benjamin Sr. had purchased 640 acres of land in Granville County, later Bute County, Colony of North Carolina. [86] He died there in December 1766 and his Prince William County Will was approved at Bute County court in January 1767. [87, 88] It is not clear from Virginia records when exactly he relocated to North Carolina. My best guess for the time frame of his move is from the date of the last Prince William County court record identifying Benjamin Rush "Senior" on 5 May 1762 [89] until 7 March 1763 when his son, Benjamin Jr., was granted a license to keep an Ordinary. [90] I chose the latter date because Benjamin Jr. completed the sale of all of his land in Prince William County in December 1762 perhaps in preparation to take over his father?s Ordinary after Benjamin Sr. relocated to North Carolina. [91] After this time, Prince William County court records no longer add the suffix "Senior" or "Junior" following their name suggesting that there was only one Benjamin Rush in the county, Benjamin Rush Jr.
Benjamin Rush Sr.?s estate inventory submitted in Bute County by his son and excutor, Benjamin Rush Jr., in August 1768 was significantly larger than his father?s, William Rush III, and was impressive wealth for the time. Owning an Ordinary must have been quite profitable. In part, the inventory included:
"To cash in house 20 £ of Virginia Currency.....63 hogs....18 cattle...8 sheep...2 hogshead of tobacco... 4 ploughs...4 axes...a crop of corn, fodder, pease, beans and potatoes...3 feather beds and furniture...14 tables...11 plates...4 pewter dishes...8 tin pans...5 wooden plates...14 pewter spoons...4 butcher knives...5 table knives and 7 forks...4 butcher knives....1 ladle and flesh fork...1 frying pan...6 pair of sizzors...{many assorted dishes and flatware}...1 earthen cream pot...1 pewter chamber pot...a small spit to roast fowl...a small pocket pistol...1 gun...1 man?s saddle...1 woman?s saddle...2 bridles...1 off riding chair and harness...2 tables and chests...1 small trunk....1 safe.... 2 Bibles...{many farming utinsils}...{carpenter tools}...4 shoemakers awls....marking irons...1 pair sheep shears...6 padlocks...8 fish hooks...1 trowel...1 cooper?s axe...1 joyner...1 pair spectacles...1 smith?s bellows...3 pairs of tongs...3 hammers...1 wool wheel... one tobacco box...3 small snuff boxes...2 copper compasses...one ink pot...etc. {oddly, no horses are mentioned} Recorded. Teste: Ben McCulloch, Clerk of Court [92]
The 14 tables and 14 pewter spoons probably indicates that he again had an Ordinary (tavern) in North Carolina and makes the point that most people ate with spoons since food typically was prepared in large pots over an open fire in a fireplace i.e. porridges, soups, stews, etc. Frying and grilling of meat was reserved - as today - for better, more tender cuts of meat which most persons couldn?t afford. In fact, eating with a fork didn?t become fashionable in the courts of Europe until the 1760s and later for common folks. The Rush family did own one frying pan perhaps used occasionally when cooking for themselves. The collection of tools for carpentry, shoemaking, cooper?s axe and blacksmith?s bellows indicates the trades that Benjamin Sr. and his sons could perform. In fact, a May 1761 Dellingen Parish church Indenture in Prince William County records the following: "Benjamin Thomas, Orphan of William Thomas, deceased, age 11 bound until age 21 to Benjamin Rush. To be taught the art, mystery and occupation of cooper, and to read and write." [93] I also found a July 1755 Dellingen Parish Indenture for Benjamin Jr. for teaching an orphan blacksmithing: "William Fewell, an Orphan boy, age 10 on March 18 next; bound until age 21 to Benjamin Rush, Jr., Blacksmith. To be taught the trade, art or mystery of blacksmith and to read and write English." [94] These Parish records also demonstrate that they were members of the Church of England?s Dettingen Parish, Prince William County.

Berengar II of Rennes(died 896) was the Count of Bayeux and Rennes and Margrave of the Breton March from 886 until his death a decade later.
In 874, Brittany's internal politics were thrown into turmoil when King Salomon was murdered by a rival. The resulting surge of Viking attacks made possible by the power vacuum was narrowly held at bay by a hasty Breton-Frankish alliance between Alan the Great of Vannes and Berengar of Rennes. Between 889-90, the Seine Vikings moved into Brittany, hard on the heels of the Loire fleet that Alan and Berengar had successfully driven out (this latter force had broken up into several small flotillas and sailed west). Alain again joined forces with Berengar of Rennes and led two Breton armies into the field. Finding their retreat down the Marne blocked, the Vikings hauled their ships overland to the Vire and besieged Saint-Lo, where the Bretons virtually annihilated the fleet.
Roland and his successors under Guy of Nantes were aristocrats from Maine.
Berengar's kin became the first bilingual Breton and Gallo speaking lords holding residence within Brittany (Rennes and Penthièvre, rather than the Loire Valley-predominant Nantes or Vannes, which nevertheless had at least one Franco-Saxon conflict in Angers), as a consequence of the Breton nobility being more or less broken under the Norman invasions of the 880s and as a reward for holding his ground against their attacks.
Berengar was named for Berengar I of Neustria, but was most likely the son of Henry of Franconia, himself a member of the Senior Capets through the Babenberg lineage. He is likely to have been Henry's son because (1) Berengar named his daughter the feminine form of Poppo, a name common among the Babenbergs, and (2) the main Capetian branch had traditionally held the Breton March. Of course, this is all theoretical and the lineage of Berengar might very well have been Saxon, considering the known presence of a raiding colony of that people in the Bessin and the fact that the Frankish element of this region was never strong, despite involved forenames. Compare Wessex across the English Channel and their ethnic mixture with Cornwall, as well as the pre-Norman Conquest presence of Bretons in England, such as Alan II, Duke of Brittany or Ralph the Staller. These theories are alternatives to the traditionally Breton genealogical origin, because the area was once known as "New Brittany" in the Latin language: Brittania Nova, in Merovingian Francia. It may be said that this lineage was due to Berengar perhaps being descended from Breton expansionists in pre-Capetian West Francia and before the establishment of Normandy as a polity dependent upon the County of Rouen, which annexed Bayeux. All three ideas of origin are as intimately related to later conditions during the Hundred Years' War, as they are to the previous status of Britannia as a Roman Diocese within the Prefecture of Gaul and the general interrelatedness of the people and their bicoastal cultural character.
Berengar married the daughter of Gurvand, Duke of Brittany, by which relationship he attained the countship of Rennes. His brother-in-law, Judicael became Duke of Brittany. Berengar's son was Judicael Berengar, who succeeded him as Count of Rennes. His daughter was Poppa, who was strategically wed to Rollo of Normandy.

Bio
Greetings---I was born and raised in eastern Nebraska (Dodge Co.) and as of Dec. 2015 I am 84 years old. I now live in eastern North Carolina. I enjoy doing genealogical research on the internet. Find-a-grave has provided me with family information I did not previously have and I am grateful. My paternal ancestors migrated in 1635 from England to Virginia and thence over the years to North Carolina, Indiana, and Nebraska. My maternal grandparents came to America from Smaland province, Kalmar county Sweden in the late 1860s. They lived briefly in Chicago before homesteading near Stromsburg, Nebraska. Initially I created find-a-grave memorials for my close relatives but now I occasionally post memorials for non-relatives as well. Perhaps my postings will be of interest to someone. I will gladly transfer any of my "non-relative" memorials to a person who will add information and photos to make the memorial(s) more interesting & informative. | NEWSOM, Keith Russell (I11858)

Biographical Sketch HARRY S. TRUMAN 33rd President of the United States
Harry S. Truman was born in Lamar, Missouri on May 8, 1884, the son of John Anderson Truman and Martha Ellen (Young) Truman. The family, which soon included another boy, Vivian, and a girl, Mary Jane moved several times during Truman's childhood and youth - first, in 1887, to a farm near Grandview, then, in 1890, to Independence, and finally, in 1902, to Kansas City. Young Harry attended public schools in Independence, graduating from high school in 1901. After leaving school, he worked briefly as a timekeeper for a railroad construction contractor, then as a clerk in two Kansas City banks. In 1906 he returned to Grandview to help his father run the family farm. He continued working as a farmer for more than ten years.
From 1905 to 1911, Truman served in the Missouri National Guard. When the United States entered World War I in 1917, he helped organize the 2nd Regiment of Missouri Field Artillery, which was quickly called into Federal service as the 129th Field Artillery and sent to France. Truman was promoted to Captain and given command of the regiment's Battery D. He and his unit saw action in the Vosges, Saint Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne campaigns. Truman joined the reserves after the war, rising eventually to the rank of colonel. He sought to return to active duty at the outbreak of World War II, but Army Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall declined his offer to serve.
On June 28, 1919, Truman married Bess Wallace, whom he had known since childhood. Their only child, Mary Margaret, was born on February 17, 1924. From 1919 to 1922 he ran a men's clothing store in Kansas City with his wartime friend, Eddie Jacobson. The store failed in the postwar recession. Truman narrowly avoided bankruptcy, and through determination and over many years he paid off his share of the store's debts.
Truman was elected in 1922, to be one of three judges of the Jackson County Court. Judge Truman whose duties were in fact administrative rather than judicial, built a reputation for honesty and efficiency in the management of county affairs. He was defeated for reelection in 1924, but won election as presiding judge in the Jackson County Court in 1926. He won reelection in 1930.
In 1934, Truman was elected to the United States Senate. He had significant roles in the passage into law of the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 and the Transportation Act of 1940. After being reelected in 1940, Truman gained national prominence as chairman of the Senate Special Committee to Investigate the National Defense Program. This committee, which came to be called the Truman Committee, sought with considerable success to ensure that defense contractors delivered to the nation quality goods at fair prices.
In July 1944, Truman was nominated to run for Vice President with President Franklin D. Roosevelt. On January 20, 1945, he took the vice-presidential oath, and after President Roosevelt's unexpected death only eighty-two days later on April 12, 1945, he was sworn in as the nations' thirty-third President.
Truman later called his first year as President a "year of decisions." He oversaw during his first two months in office the ending of the war in Europe. He participated in a conference at Potsdam, Germany, governing defeated Germany, and to lay some groundwork for the final stage of the war against Japan. Truman approved the dropping of two bombs on Japan on August 6 and 9, 1945. Japan surrendered on August 14, and American forces of occupation began to land by the end of the month. This first year of Truman's presidency also saw the founding of the United Nations and the development of an increasingly strained and confrontational relationship with the Soviet Union.
Truman's presidency was marked throughout by important foreign policy initiatives. Central to almost everything Truman undertook in his foreign policy was the desire to prevent the expansion of the influence of the Soviet Union. The Truman Doctrine was an enunciation of American willingness to provide military aid to countries resisting communist insurgencies; the Marshall Plan sought to revive the economies of the nations of Europe in the hope that communism would not thrive in the midst of prosperity; the North Atlantic Treaty Organization built a military barrier confronting the Soviet-dominated part of Europe. The one time during his presidency when a communist nation invaded a non-communist one -- when North Korea invaded South Korea in June 1950 -- Truman responded by waging undeclared war.
In his domestic policies, Truman sought to accomplish the difficult transition from a war to a peace economy without plunging the nation into recession, and he hoped to extend New Deal social programs to include more government protection and services and to reach more people. He was successful in achieving a healthy peacetime economy, but only a few of his social program proposals became law. The Congress, which was much more Republican in its membership during his presidency than it had been during Franklin Roosevelt's, did not usually share Truman's desire to build on the legacy of the New Deal.
The Truman administration went considerably beyond the New Deal in the area of civil rights. Although, the conservative Congress thwarted Truman's desire to achieve significant civil rights legislation, he was able to use his powers as President to achieve some important changes. He issued executive orders desegregating the armed forces and forbidding racial discrimination in Federal employment. He also established a Committee on Civil Rights and encouraged the Justice Department to argue before the Supreme Court on behalf of plaintiffs fighting against segregation.
In 1948, Truman won reelection. His defeat had been widely expected and often predicted, but Truman's energy in undertaking his campaign and his willingness to confront issues won a plurality of the electorate for him. His famous "Whistlestop" campaign tour through the country has passed into political folklore, as has the photograph of the beaming Truman holding up the newspaper whose headline proclaimed, "Dewey Defeats Truman."
Truman left the presidency and retired to Independence in January 1953. For the nearly two decades of his life remaining to him, he delighted in being "Mr. Citizen," as he called himself in a book of memoirs. He spent his days reading, writing, lecturing and taking long brisk walks. He took particular satisfaction in founding and supporting his Library, which made his papers available to scholars, and which opened its doors to everyone who wished to have a glimpse of his remarkable life and career.
Harry S. Truman died on December 26, 1972. Bess Truman died on October 18, 1982. They are buried side by side in the Library's courtyard. | TRUMAN, Harry Shipp (I9690)

BIOGRAPHY
Agnes (sometimes called Anne) was the daughter of William Howard, 1st baron Howard of Effingham and his first wife, Catherine Broughton. Agnes married William Paulet, 3rd Marquess of Winchester, and was the mother of his legitimate children, William, Anne, Catherine, and Elizabeth. The lands retained by the de Boughtons passed by marriage to the Howard family. William Paulet and the Lady Agnes, conveyed the Manors of Broughton and Wolston Parva to Thomas Duncombe Esq. in Jan 1572
Broughtons Manor in Crawley was obtained in fee by the Broughton family, from whom it acquired its distinctive name. In 1351 John son of Robert de Broughton conveyed 60 acres of land, 1 acre of meadow, 2s. rent and ½ lb of pepper to John Bohun of Midhurst and Cecily his wife. Sixty years later John Broughton, grandson of the grantor, claimed this estate against the grantees? son John Bohun, and it was restored to him by order of court in 1427-8. This property, referred to in 1489 as the litell maner in More Craule called Broughtons, descended with lands in Broughton parish likewise retained by the Broughton family to Agnes Howard, wife of William Paulet, Lord St John by whom it was alienated in 1573 to Richard Morton.
From the History of Buckinghamshire: "...A mesne lordship in those parts of Crawley known by the late 15th Century as Broughtons Manor and Filliols Manor respectively was held under the Giffard Honour by the Earls of Oxford. Record of their interest in Crawley dates from the early 13th Century, and continued until the abolition of feudal tenure in the 17th century, a temporary grant of his prerogatives being made in 1584 by the Earl of Oxford to Peter Palmer..."
Her daughter Anne married Sir Thomas Denys of Holcombe Rogus. Her husband, however, kept a mistress, Jane Lambert, by whom he had four sons, and was estranged from Agnes. In 1578, Queen Elizabeth attempted to reconcile the couple but failed.
Agnes was often at court. Some authors says that the Marchioness had no oficial post at Court, other says she was lady of the chamber at various times. In 1587, she was one of two women of higher rank than countess who were available to serve as chief mourner at the funeral of Mary, Queen of Scots. When the Countess of Rutland was chosen instead, it was a deliberate insult to the Scottish Queen?s memory.
On 24 Nov 1588, the Marchioness carried Queen Elizabeth's train in the celebrations following the defeat of the Spanish Armada. This formal procession moved through London from Somerset House to St. Paul's. The Queen rode in a chariot. Agnes, her arms full of fabric, was on foot behind her.
In 1592 she conveyed the site of the manor of Gaynes Hall to William Wallopp and Richard Beckenshaw. The Marquess died in 1598, and in 1599 his widow was dealing with the manor. Later in the same year, with Sir Giles Broughton, kt., and his wife Catherine, her daughter, she conveyed to Oliver Williams, alias Cromwell, of Hinchingbrooke, the uncle of the future Protector, the manors of Gaynes Hall, alias Gaynes Perry and Dillington. In 1600 Oliver Cromwell, as of Godmanchester, assigned to Richard Cromwell of the same, his brother, a lease of Gaynes Park made to him in 1599 for 21 years by Agnes, Marchioness of Winchester, widow; and in 1601 he, with his second wife Anne, conveyed the manors of Gaynes Hall, alias Gaynes Perry, alias Dillington, to Sir Thomas Lake.
The Marchioness of Winchester died at Basing in 1601. | HOWARD, Agnes (I671953456)

Biography
Eldest son of Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk by his second wife, Agnes Tilney. Educated at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, under Gardiner, and came to court at an early age. In 1531 Howard went on his first embassy to Scotland, and was entertained by James V at St. Andrews. His mission seems to have been to propose a marriage between James and the Princess Mary. He was liked and trusted by Henry VIII and was with him at Boulonge; and at Anne Boleyn coronation was Deputy Earl Marshal; and he was sent on missions to Scotland and France. In Feb 1534-5 he went to Scotland to invest James V with the Garter (State Papers Henry VIII, v. 2 ; Diurnal of Occurrents, Bannatyne Club, 19). Chapuys, who suspected much more than was really designed by the mission, added, in his letter to Carlos V, 'People are astonished at the despatch of so stupid and indiscreet a man'. But Queen Margaret on 4 Mar wrote to Henry, commending Howard's 'honorable, pleasaunt, and wys' behaviour. King James V, who a few days previously bore similar testimony, offered him the confiscated lands and goods of James Hamilton, the sheriff of Linlithgow, brother of Patrick Hamilton. These Howard refused, and Hamilton was restored to favour. In 1535 he was in France on diplomatic business (Chronicle of Calais, Camd. Soc. p. 45). In Feb 1535-6 Howard was again sent to Scotland, in company with William Barlow, the bishop-elect of St. Asaph, to recommend to James and his court the adoption in Scotland of Henry's ecclesiastical policy. Howard was instructed to set forth 'his grace's proceed-inges', and to 'inculce and harpe uppon the spring of honour and proffit'. He had also to propose to James an interview with Henry. He returned to Scotland once more in Apr 1536 (Hamilton Papers, i. 29, &c.; Diurnal of Occurrents, p. 20).
Lord William Howard of Effingham, through his wife Catherine, succeeded to the Manor of Gaines, and was succeeded by his daughter Agnes.
In 1537 and 1541 Howard was engaged on an embassy to France (cf. State Papers Henry VIII, vol. viii. pt. v. contd.) While there Cromwell informed him and his colleague, the bishop of Worcester, of the death of Jane Seymour, and, at the King's request, asked them to report which of the French princesses would be suitable for her successor.
His wife, Margaret Gamage, was one of the ladies of his sister, Queen Catherine Howard. In Dec 1541, when Catherine was arrested, both Margaret and her husband were tried and found guilty of concealing her unchastity. They were later pardoned. They lost, however, the manor and rectory of Tottenham, which had been granted to them in 1537 (Newcourt, Repertorium, i. 753). Howard accompanied the Earl of Hertford in the invasion of Scotland of 1544. In the same year he took part in the siege of Boulogne, and in 1546 one of the many orders in council directed to him instructed him to prepare ships for the 'sure wafting' of the money which Wotton and Harrington were to convey to the army in France.
From 29 Oct 1552 to Dec 1553 he was Lord Deputy and Governor of Calais, and 14 Nov 1553 Lord High Admiral; Lord Clinton, however, the former admiral, did not resign at once, so that the patent was not made out until 10 Mar 1553-4. In Oct of that year Privy Councillor under Edward VI. On 2 Jan 1553-4 he received the Spanish ambassadors at the Tower wharf, and rode with them up through the city to Durham Place. William was made Knight of the Garter in 1554. When Sir Thomas Wyatt approached London, Howard was very active in the defence of the Queen. He shut Ludgate in Wyatt's face. 'And that night' (3 Feb 1553-4), says Wriothesley, 'the said Lord Admirall watched the [London] Bridge with iii c men, and brake the drawbridge, and set rampeers with great ordinance there'. Created Baron Howard of Effingham 11 Mar 1553/4 for his defence of London during the rebellion. The manor of Effingham (Surrey) had been granted to him by Edward VI in 1551.
Perhaps his arguments with the Queen saved the life of princess Elizabeth after that affair. He befriended Elizabeth, but his popularity with the Navy saved him from Mary resentment. He became Elizabeth's principal protector during the months that followed. By the next year his loyalty to the princess made him a suspected person; the Imperial Ambassador wrote to his master that it was "highly probable" that Howard knew of and consented to plots in which Elizabeth was believed to be involved. In Apr 1555, he urged in Council that her restrictions be removed and that she be brought back to Court. In 1554 he remonstrated with Gage for his ill-usage of the princess, had a conversation with her in the Tower in 1555, and when in 1558 Elizabeth came as a prisoner to Hampton Court, he visited her, and 'marvellous honorably used her grace'. His obvious support of the heir finally brought him the loss of his great office of Lord Admiral. He met Felipe of Spain when he came to England at the Needles, and though there were fears that he would carry him away to France, he brought him safely to Southampton. In 1555 he conveyed Felipe to Flanders. But he was still exposed to suspicion, the popularity that Elizabeth and her cause brought him made Howard a dangerous enemy, so Mary found it expedient to mollify him with a pension and finally with appointment as Lord Chamberlain. In 1558 Mary designed to send him on an embassy to France, but he was too ill to go.
When Elizabeth became queen he had great influence with her and filled several important posts. He was reappointed Lord Chamberlain and resumed his diplomatic role. Early in 1559 Lord Howard, accompanied with his eldest son, Charles, went as negotiator to the peace conference at Cateau-Cambresis. He supported the Queen against the northern earls in the rebellion of 1569 and in 1572, ceased to be Lord Chamberlain on becoming Lord Privy Seal.
Margaret, Lady Howard of Effingham, was listed among the ladies of honor in 1558/9. In 1578/9, she took delivery of New Year?s gifts for the Queen. Her name is sometimes written as ?Lady Haward?. There was a portrait of Margaret Gamage in the Pembroke collection in 1561.
William Howard was one of the considerable body of Elizabethan officeholders who went to their graves complaining that they were being driven into beggary by their sacrifices to the Queen's service. No doubt the complaints were uttered partly in the hope that travail would be rewarded and because their expense and responsability stood as evidence of the Queen's trust. But with Lord William the whimperings of sacrifice seem to have been justified. He received pensions and lands and had access to the Crown which should have brought a shower of gifts from office-seekers. But his expenses at court were high, his large family included several daughters to be married off, and the offices in his direct gift were not many. As a result he was never able to build more than a modesdy comfortable landed estate. From his father he had lands worth not quite £100 a year, but all except the manor of Little Bookham in Surrey had quickly been sold. From Henry VIII he had received Reigate Priory -which became one of the principal family residences and stayed in the hands of his descendants through the seventeenth century- Eastbrooke and Southwick manors in Sussex, West Humble in Surrey, and the priory of Barnstaple in Devon. From Edward VI, Howard got Great Bookham (an important Surrey manor), the smaller manor of Effingham from which he took his title, and a moiety of Reigate Manor. Mary gave him lands in Devonshire and Somersetshire, which he sold, and Elizabeth added the manor of Kingswood Liberty. In 1560 Howard bought Blechingley (valued at £45 a year), with another important residence and influence over a parliamentary borough, and lands at Lingfield, Hackstal, and Billeshurst. The properties, most of them in Surrey, were worth altogether about £400 a year. Salaries and pensions provided him with as much again, but he found that his total income of £86i 6s. 8d. was totally inadequate to meet his needs. In a document prepared for the Queen about 1565, he said that his expenses exceeded £l,500 a year without reckoning anything "put in to my persse for to spend in hawkyng and hontyng & in rewards gyvyn for my pleasiuir" or for repairs to his house or for the dowry of two hundred marks a year for his eldest daughter. His expense for going on progress ran to two hundred pounds a year, and gifts and rewards at Christmas and New Year's cost another hundred pounds. He was £2,OOO in debt and saw no way to recover himself or to provide a living for his younger children without a substancial gift from the Queen. Of course, William Howard may have been exaggerating the disparity between income and expense in the hope of maximizing the grant to relieve it. But certainly he thought that he was being ruined in his service to the crown and that the Queen should lift him up from poverty. In the next few years, he did make some kind of settlement with his creditors without selling any more lands, but he remained relatively poor for the rest of his life. There is a story that during his last years he begged to be made an Earl but was refused because he lacked the means to support such a dignity.
Lord William's friendship with the Queen and his recognized fidelity to her interests during difficult times had created a fund of good will upon which his son Charles could hope to draw. But it might also be possible to argue that during his last years Lord William, by occupying one of the major offices, may have kept Charles from receiving important preferment. Charles's father, however, was evidently declining by 1570, which mar have meant that Charles took over some partion of the chamberlain's duties. By the end of 1572, Lord William was no longer able to carry on and gave up his staff. But because he still needed any salary and perquisites the crown could supply him, he was made Lord Privy Seal, an officer whose responsibilities had become insignificant. He condnued to decline, and late in Jan 1573, he died "full of years and honour, being of most approved fidelity and unshaken courage". He was buried, in accordance with a will drawn up in 1569, in the church at Reigate.
By the terms of the will, he did not leave his son a rich man. Most of his properties had been settled by another instrument, which does not survive; the will mentions only the manor of Esher, which was to go to Charles along with his robes and collar of the Garter (a grant contrary to the statutes of the order). The younger son, William, got a small money grant, and the rest of the estate after debts were paid went to Lady Howard, who was asked to see that dowries were pro vided for daughters still unmarried. The language used concerning Esher implies that the manor was in Lord Howard's possession, but it had been given by Mary to the bishops of Winchester, who still held it in 1573. What Howard may have had was a promised lease, since Charles did get a lease in 1578 by threatening that if Bishop Horne would not co-operate he would "compass his object in some other way, without any regard for the Bishop's feelings". From sources other than the will it is known that the lands at Lingfield and Great Bookham were settled on the younger son and that Reigate and its lands went to the jointure of the widow. When she died in 1581, Charles Howard paid a livery fine of £58 3s. 6d. for delivery of lands into his possession.

In 1892, the Duke family opened their first textile business in Durham, North Carolina with Benjamin Duke at its head. In 1905, he and his brother James founded the Southern Power Company which became known as Duke Power. The company supplied electrical power to the Duke textile factory and within two decades, their power facilities had been greatly expanded and they were supplying electricity to more than 300 cotton mills and other industrial companies through an electrical grid that supplied cities and towns in the Piedmont Region of North and South Carolina.
Benjamin Duke and his brother were major contributors to the economic growth of the North Carolina economy and would expand into other areas with sizable investments in railroads and banks. Benjamin was a primary benefactor of Trinity College after it relocated to Durham in 1892. Over the years he donated substantial funds for improvements, additions, and scholarships. Between 1926 and 1929 he donated approximately $3,000,000 (more than $30,000,000 in 2005 dollars) to twenty-seven different southern institutions of higher learning. Today, Duke University offers the B. N. Duke Scholars program.
Following his passing at his home in New York City in 1929, Benjamin Duke's remains were brought back to North Carolina for interment with his father and brother James in Memorial Chapel in the Duke University Chapel on the campus of Duke University. | DUKE, Benjamin Newton (I11474)

Biography
from Jouett Taylor Prisley family history and genealogy:
William was fortunate to acquire some wealth from his uncle Thomas Stegg, brother of William's mother, Grace Stegg.
In 1673 he (William Byrd) married Mary Horsmander, daughter of Col. Warham Horsmander, and brought her to America in 1674 where they had their first child that year. They settled with other English colonists near the falls of the James River in Virginia. Stanard's Emigrants places them in Henrico and Charles City counties. In 1691, the Byrds moved to Westover VA where he was councilor, burgess and receiver general. As a prosperous planter, merchant, Indian trader and "solid citizen", they were on the way to establishing the Byrds with First Family of Virginia status.
Pedigrees were traced in London in 1702. In 1763 ancestry traced to Byrds of Brexton, Cheshire, as shown in Writings of Col. William Byrd.
Excerpt from the History of Byrd Family
John Byrd (a London goldsmith) and Grace Stegg
William Byrd I (b.1652) married in 1673 to Mary Horsmander (they settled in VA in 1674)[1]
William Byrd II (b. 28 Mar 1674-26 August 1744) married Lucy Parke
William Byrd III (b.1707)
Daniel Byrd I (b. 1755-1806) after the Rev. War he moved with Elijah, Solomon, Hezekiah and John Byrd and settled in the 96 District, Edgefield County, SC.; in the 1790 census Daniel Bird I was head of household with 2 sons and 5 daughters. His wife's name was Lucinda.
One daughter married Sanders Rearden, one married Jadock Magruder and one married Benjamin Tradwell.[2]
Father Col Warham St. Ledger Horsmanden[3]
Mother Susanna Beeching.
Maria's father was a Cavalier who fled to Virginia with his wife and children when Cromwell was in power.
Maria Horsmanden married firstly Samuel Filmer of East Sutton, Kent, England, third son of Sir Robert Filmer, who made his will on July 17th, 1667 and died in 1670 leaving Maria as a young widow in Virginia where they had lived for a time.
Samuel bequeathed mourning rings to his friends and cousins to include Mrs. Frances Stephens, the wife of Samuel Stephens in Virginia (afterwards Lady Berkeley); to Warham Horsmanden and Susan his wife, etc; and he gave to my friend and cousin Mrs. Mary Horsmanden, eldest daughter of the aforesaid Warham and Susan Horsmanden of Ham, in the parish of Lenham, County Kent (between whom and myself is an agreement of marriage), the whole of his real and personal estate, provided they had no children, who otherwise were to share in the estate. Samuel Filmer and Maria Horsmanden had no children.
In 1670 when the will was proved, his eighteen-year old widow, Maria, was living in Virginia though her parents were in England. It is possible that they came to Virginia after their marriage.
Maria remarried when she was about nineteen or twenty years old to William Byrd I of Henrico, Virginia, and later "Westover" in Charles City County.
It is not known if she brought property into the marriage. William Byrd refers to property which should have come to her under the will of Sir Edward Filmer, bachelor uncle of Samuel Filmer, and mentions a suit. His will (P.C.C.) was dated 17 July 1670.
Together they had five children, the most famous being their son, William Byrd II, the Black Swan of Virginia. Maria died 9 November 1699 and was buried at Westover, Charles City County, Virginia.
The epitaph of Maria Horsmanden Byrd at Westover reads as follows:
"Here Lyeth the Body of Mary Byrd Late wife of William Byrd Esq. and Daughter of Warham Horsmanden Esq Who Dyed the 9th Day of November 1699 in the 47th Year of Her age" Mary is in the "old" Westover Parish Cemetery on the grounds of Westover Plantation 1/4 mile from the mansion. About 1730 the construction of the present Westover Church was completed at its present site on Herring Creek about 1 1/2 mile north of Westover mansion.

Biography
From Wikipedia:
"James Buchanan Duke, known by the nickname "Buck", was born near Durham, North Carolina, on December 23, 1856 to Washington Duke and his second wife, Artelia Roney Duke."
"Washington Duke (1820?1905), had owned a tobacco company that his sons James Buchanan Duke and Benjamin Newton Duke (1855?1929) took over in the 1880s. In 1885, James Buchanan Duke acquired a license to use the first automated cigarette making machine (invented by James Albert Bonsack), and by 1890, Duke supplied 40% of the American cigarette market (then known as pre-rolled tobacco). In that year, Duke consolidated control of his four major competitors under one corporate entity, the American Tobacco Company, which was a monopoly in the American cigarette market."
"At the start of the 1900s, Duke tried to conquer the British market as he had done America, eventually forcing the then divided British manufacturers to merge into the Imperial Tobacco Company of Great Britain and Ireland, Ltd (Imperial Tobacco). After two years of intense competition in Great Britain, Imperial Tobacco took the fight to the U.S. market, forcing American Tobacco to look for a settlement. This resulted in an agreement whereby American Tobacco controlled the American trade, Imperial Tobacco controlled the trade in the British territories, and a third, cooperative venture named the British-American Tobacco Company was set up between the two to control the sale of tobacco in the rest of the world. During this time, Duke was repeatedly sued by business partners and shareholders. In 1906, the American Tobacco Company was found guilty of antitrust violations, and was ordered to be split into four separate companies: American Tobacco Company, Liggett and Myers, R.J. Reynolds, and the P. Lorillard Company."
"In 1892, the Dukes opened their first textile firm in Durham, North Carolina, that was run by Benjamin Duke. At the turn of the century, Buck Duke organized the American Development Company to acquire land and water rights on the Catawba River. In 1904, he established the Catawba Power Company and the following year he and his brother founded the Southern Power Company, which became known as Duke Power, the precursor to the Duke Energy conglomerate. The company supplied electrical power to the Duke's textile factory and within two decades, their power facilities had been greatly expanded and they were supplying electricity to more than 300 cotton mills and other industrial companies. Duke Power established an electrical grid that supplied cities and towns in the Piedmont Region of North and South Carolina. Lake James, a power-generating reservoir in Western North Carolina, was created by the company in 1928 and named in Duke's honor."
"In 1911, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld an order breaking up the American Tobacco Company's monopoly. The company was then divided into several smaller enterprises, of which only the British-American Tobacco Company remained in Duke's control. After his death in 1925, there was a great deal of controversy, and some historians suspect that some resentful Imperial Tobacco executives were feeling some anger at Duke for having lost the Tobacco War between Duke's company and Imperial Tobacco."
"Duke was married twice, first in 1904 to Lillian Fletcher McCredy. They divorced in 1906 and had no children. In 1907 he married the widow Nanaline Holt Inman, with whom he had his only child, a daughter, Doris, born November 22, 1912. Doris was raised at Duke Farms located in Hillsborough, New Jersey, where her father had worked with landscapers such as James Leal Greenleaf (a member of the firm of Frederick Law Olmsted), and Horatio Buckenham to transform more than 2,000 acres (8 km2) of farmland and woodlots into an extraordinary landscape containing 2 conservatories, 9 lakes, 35 fountains, 45 buildings, countless pieces of sculpture, over 2 miles (3 km) of stone walls and more than 18 miles (29 km) of roadway.[4] Duke died in New York City on October 10, 1925, and is interred with his father and brother in the Memorial Chapel on the campus of Duke University." | DUKE, James Buchanan (I11479)

Biography
John Cherry Jr [C1a], son of immigrant John Cherry and Elizabeth Faithful, was born about 1641 in Norfolk Co VA. He married Rebecca Maund about 1662. She was born about 1647. Records of Norfolk Co show an assignment from Andrew Etheridge and wife Ann to John Cherry on 6 May 1699. There is a deed dated 1 March 1665, recorded 25 February 1666, from Richard and Joan Yates of "Elizabeth River in ye county of Lower Norfolk" to John Cherry, taylor, also of Elizabeth River. The deed conveyed 350 acres on Deep Creek "being in ye southern branch of Elizabeth River" for 1,000 pounds of tobacco. This land was originally patented to Richard Yates on 6 March 1664. John also bought other land, in addition to that inherited as an elder son. He had about 595 acres at the time of his death, even though 105 acres of it was patented over a year after he died. John obviously lived along Deep Creek in Lower Norfolk Co, and was a tailor and a farmer. He lived near John Slough, Thomas Slow (Slough), Thomas Richardson, and George Ballentine. John Cherry Sr and William Maund witnessed the will of W H Whelten in Lower Norfolk Co on 13 September 1690. By this time John's father had been dead twenty years (per JY), and John himself had a son named John. Hence he was called John Sr in 1690. John made his will in Norfolk Co on 12 January 1698 (or 1699), and it was recorded on 18 July 1699 in Norfolk Co. The will is partially destroyed and water damaged, but about half is legible. In it John mentioned his wife Rebecca, daughter Rebecca, and sons John and William. It also names Faithful and Samuel Cherry, but does not state the relationship. The will, found in Norfolk Co Deed Book 6, page 131, mentions land on Deep Creek and a plantation bought from Isaack Seaborne. The executrix was his wife Rebecca and witnesses were William Maund and "Rebeckah Cherry Jr" (his daughter). And in 1704 "widow Churry" collected quit rents of £600 in Norfolk Co. John had at least five children, but other evidence indicates he perhaps had nine children-

Biography
John Cherry [C1]1 came from England to VA at the age of 16 in 1635. Patent book 1, part 2, page 487 shows an Oliver Sprye who received 300 acres in Upper Norfolk Co VA on 24 October 1637 for transporting six persons from England, by court order on 6 June 135: "James Hicks, John Longworthy, Tho. Bush, John Dawson, George Wilcock, John Cherry," by order of the court on 6 June 1635. The above Oliver Sprye was a southeast VA Puritan, was justice of the Nansemond Co court in 1646, and was a tobacco viewer for Nansemond (then Upper Norfolk) Co in 1639. John Cherry was the ancestor of many of the Cherry families of AL, AR, KY, TN, TX, and other states. There is no evidence that he was from England,2 although he apparently sailed from England (as did many of the Irish coming to America). (Young 3-5). [1]

Biography
Residence: Lower Norfolk Co., VA.
Samuel Maund Cherry [C1a7], son of John Cherry Jr and Rebecca Maund, was born about 1682 in Lower Norfolk Co VA. He married Frances Ballentine, daughter of George M Ballentine Jr and Frances Yates, about 1710. Samuel lived along the south branch of the Elizabeth River. He was on the tithable list in Norfolk Co on 10 June 1730, as was his brother Lemuel. Hence they were between the ages of 16 and 60. The 10 June 1734 tithable listing is the last one for Samuel, until June 1751 when his son Samuel was listed (the lists from 1737 through 1750 are missing). Since Samuel Jr wasn't named on any Norfolk Co tithable list until after 1736, he couldn't have been born before 1721, thus placing an approximate marriage date of about the 1710s. Samuel Maund left his will, dated 19 January 1733, and proven on 16 May 1734, in Norfolk Co (it is now at Portsmouth, VA). It was witnessed by George Ballentine and Solomon Cherry. Samuel left 200 acres to his wife, land along Indian Creek. He only named the eldest and youngest two children in his will. Youngest son Dunson received 80 acres on the north side of Deep Creek, and son Samuel Jr received 200 acres lying at the head of Indian Creek. Samuel did not name his wife in the will, but her father did in his 14 November 1733 will. Samuel signed his will with a mark "M" which would be a very poor letter M, or just a scribble of an illiterate person. Samuel's sons listed in his will (Sam Jr and Dunson), and others claimed to be children by Thigpen, were-
a. Elizabeth Cherry, b abt 1710s
b. Patience Cherry, b abt 1710s
c. Frances Cherry, b 1710s?
d. Samuel Cherry, b abt 1721
e. Dunson Cherry, b 1721-1735
Frances Yates was a daughter of Richard Yates and his wife Joan. George Ballentine, called "Senr" in his 14 November 1733 will which was proven four days later in Norfolk Co, named his son George as the executor, his daughter "Frances Cherry" (received "one looking glass"), "son Sam'l Cherry" 200 acres of land, and named other children (George Ballentine, Mary Deale, Susan Bishop, and Dorothy Tucker) and grandchildren. It was not uncommon then to name a well beloved son-in-law as a son. George Ballentine Sr of Lower Norfolk Co left a will in 1703 naming his son George. (57,69, 114, WD,28p) [1]
Research Notes
So much confusion among the Samuel/Lemuel/Samuel Maund/Samuel M Cherrys. George Ballentine, Sr., (1636-1702) had a daughter named Frances who married Henry Deale (named in his 1700 will, proved 1702). George Ballantine, Jr., (1663-1733) had a daughter named Frances who married a Cherry (named in his 1733 will).
The case is made above that Dunson could have been born 1721-1735, but Samuel died in 1733. Was it even legal to leave land to a minor?

Biography
George Washington Duke (December 18, 1820 ? May 8, 1905) was famous as an American tobacco industrialist and philanthropist who fought in the American Civil War.
Born 28 Dec 1820 in Orange County, North Carolina, USA
Son of John Taylor Duke and Dicey Jones
Brother of William James Duke, Mary Polly Duke, Reany Duke, Amelia Duke, Kirkland R Duke, Malinda Duke, John T Duke, Doctor B Duke and Robert F Duke
Husband of Mary Caroline (Clinton) Duke ? married 9 Aug 1842
Husband of Artelia (Roney) Duke ? married 9 Dec 1852
Father of Sidney Taylor Duke, Brodie Leonidas Duke, Mary Elizabeth (Duke) Lyon, Benjamin Newton Duke and James Buchanan Duke
Died 8 May 1905 in Durham, North Carolina, USA
From Wikipedia[1]:
"Duke was born in Orange County, North Carolina (present day Durham County, North Carolina), to Taylor Duke (c1770?1849) and Dicey Jones (c1780?1860). On August 9, 1842, he married Mary Caroline Clinton (1825?1847) with whom he had two children: Sidney Taylor Duke (1844?1858) and Brodie Leonidas Duke (1846?1919)."
"After Mary Duke's death at age twenty-two, he married Artelia Roney (1829?1858) on December 9, 1852. Both Mary and Artelia died of typhoid fever. With Artelia Duke, he had three children: Mary Elizabeth Duke (1853?1893) who married Robert E. Lyon; Benjamin Newton Duke (1855?1929) and James Buchanan Duke (1856?1925)."
"Washington Duke served in the Confederate Navy (1863?1865) during the American Civil War against his will. He was vigorously opposed to slavery though some have mistakenly concluded that he owned slaves because he once purchased a slave. In reality he was purchasing the slave's freedom and he set her free immediately after the purchase as is shown by the census records shortly thereafter when she was living on his land as a free woman. It is also alleged that he was once recorded selling slaves but this is not correct either. He mentioned that slaves might be sold at the same time as a sale of his property. He did not say they were his slaves and, in fact, the 1860 census, just prior to this "recorded" event shows that he did not own slaves. The third reason some claim that he owned slaves is that he once hired a slave from a slave owner to work for him on a temporary basis during which that slave escaped. It has been reported that he actually assisted the slave in the escape and he hired him so that the slave would have time to get to a northern state before Washington reported him missing."
"After the war, he grew tobacco, but in 1874, he sold his rural home and moved to the city of Durham, where he began his tobacco business. His workers hand processed tobacco into a form that could be sold by the bag for pipe smokers or hand rolled into cigarettes. In 1881, the W. Duke Sons and Company was established as a tobacco manufacturer and was soon a marketer of pre-rolled cigarettes. In 1884 he was nominated by the Republican Party for North Carolina State Treasurer, an elected position, and lost."
"After a "tobacco war" among the five large manufacturers, Washington's son James Duke became president of the dominant American Tobacco Company and son Benjamin its vice-president. They would build the company into a multi-national corporation and a monopoly. In 1880 the Dukes were residing in Durham, and Washington was living with his son James and two sisters-in-law: Bettie Roney (born c.1830) and Annie Roney (born c.1846). Also in the household were Jennie Procter (born c.1862) as "house assistant" and two servants: Louisa Sparkman (born c.1867); and Laura Hopkins (born c.1869)."
"Duke used his influence to have Trinity College moved to Durham. The institution opened its new campus in 1892 with him and son Benjamin as its principal benefactors. In 1896, Duke gifted the college with $100,000 (about $2,200,000 in 2005 dollars) on the condition that it open its doors to women. Trinity College was renamed in honor of Duke in 1924, becoming Duke University."
"Washington Duke was interred in Memorial Chapel in the Duke University Chapel on the campus of Duke University. He is memorialized by a statue at the entrance to Duke's East Campus."

The following is text excerpted from "The Dukes of Durham,"
+On 04 Apr 1864, he signed a receipt for a private's uniform at Camp Holmes in Raleigh, Wake, North Carolina. He was in duty in the Confederate Navy. He was aboard the ship Indian Chief in the port of Charleston, South Carolina in June 1864. His duty at Charleston was cut short, however, by needs that grew out of the desperate situation of the Confederate forces near Richmond, Virginia. The James River Squadron of the Confederate Navy finally had to man artillery batteries on the banks of the river, and in Sep 1864, Washington Duke, together with additional members from Charleston, was transferred to Virginia. There he became an able artillerist, was promoted to the rank of orderly sergeant, and survived the rain, mud, and flood waters that harassed the men at Battery Brooke on the James. In the confusion surrounding the Confederate evacuation on April 01-02, 1864, Washington Duke was captured by Union troops. He was imprisoned in Richmond only a week before General Robert E Lee's surrender on April 09 at Appomattox Court House. Gaining his parole later in the spring or early summer, Washington Duke was sent by ship to New Bern, NC. From there he walked home to his reunion with his children--Brodie, Mary, Ben, and Buck.
When General William T Sherman accepted the surrender of General Joseph E Johnston and the last major Confederate force east of the Mississippi at a nearby farmhouse (The Bennett Place Homestead), Durham gained its first claim to the world's attention. Consisting of fewer than a hundred people at the end of the war, the hamlet lay some four miles to the south of Washington Duke's farm.
In addition to the coming of the railroad, the development of a new variety of tobacco, bright leaf, had a great deal to do with the rise of Durham and the postwar career of Washington Duke.
FROM TRINITY TO DUKE
a brief history from DukeHomestead.org website: "Tell them every man to think for himself."
After retiring from the tobacco business in1880, Washington Duke began working to bring a small Methodist college to Durham. Trinity College, located in Randolph County, was adopted by the Methodists of North Carolina in 1856. By the late 1880s, the school barely had enough money to operate. The Methodist Church in North Carolina did not have the funds to support the institution, and the school lacked the leadership of a strong president. With the appointment of Pres. John Crowell in 1887, things began looking up for Trinity. Ben Duke gave the struggling institution $1,000 that year, beginning the family's association with Trinity.
The new president aimed to grow the struggling school to compete with top universities in the nation. Part of this vision involved a move from rural Randolph County to a city.
Durham, the quickly-growing factory town, sought a college. Durham bid against Raleigh for a Baptist Female Seminary (what became Meredith College), and he lost. Washington Duke felt Durham?s embarrassment at this loss, and turned his focus to Trinity College. He offered to match Raleigh?s bid of $35,000 and provide an additional endowment of $50,000. Julian Shakespeare Carr, another prominent Durham businessman, provided fifty acres of land as a site for the school. The college accepted Durham?s bid. Work on the new
campus began in 1890, and it opened to students in 1892.
The Duke family continued to support Trinity in its early Durham years, with Washington serving on the building committee and Ben and Buck Duke lending monetary support. Trinity was not the only institution to receive the support of the Duke family in the late 19th century. The family regularly gave to the Oxford Orphan Asylum and Kittrell College for African Americans. Long before the existence of Duke Hospital, the family became heavily involved with both Watts and Lincoln Hospitals.
As for Trinity, Washington Duke endowed the school with $100,000 in 1896. Though he refused to have the school renamed as "Duke College," Washington informed Trinity that the money did come with the condition that the college "open its doors to women, placing them on equal footing with men."
The Duke family?s support helped Trinity to grow its student body and campus, as well as the quality of the faculty and fields of study. In addition to funding, the family supported the academic freedom of Trinity College?s professors. Members of the Duke family also began to attend Trinity, with both Ben Duke's son and daughter graduating in the early 1900s.
Through the 1910s, members of the Duke family planted the seeds of what would become "The Duke Endowment." However, it was not until 1924 that James B. Duke signed the indenture for the endowment, handing over $40,000,000 to its trustees. With the endowment, Trinity College became Duke University. Today visitors to Duke?s East Campus will see a sculpture of Washington Duke, sitting in a chair and watching over the school he and his family helped to build.

Biography
Mary Elizabeth Duke (1853-1893) was the first child and only daughter of Wash Duke and his second wife, Artelia Roney. Mary, along with her father and brothers, worked in the family tobacco business after the Civil War. Her job was filling, closing, and labeling the cotton bags in which their processed tobacco was sold.
Mary briefly attended the New Garden School (later Guilford College) and, as the family business grew, took on some management responsibilities. She married Robert Edwin Lyon, a Durham businessman. She and three of their children later died of pneumonia
The Duke family financed two buildings in their sister's memory: a science building at Guilford College and a new home for the Southern Conservatory of Music, at Duke and Main streets near the Duke's tobacco factory and Washington Duke's home, in Durham. Mary's daughter, Mary Stagg, and her husband, J.E. Stagg, donated the carillon at Duke Memorial Methodist Church in memory of their mothers.

Sir William Howard, 1st Baron of Effingham (c. 1510 ? January 21, 1573) was an English nobleman and courtier during the reigns of King Henry VIII, King Edward VI, Queen Mary I, and Queen Elizabeth I. He was the second son of Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk and his first wife, Elizabeth Tilney.
In 1547, Howard was appointed as a member of the Privy Council and held various government positions including Lord Chamberlain of the Royal Household, Lord High Admiral, and Lord Privy Seal. He was knighted in 1547 and created Baron Howard of Effingham in 1572.
The title was named after the village of Effingham in Surrey, England, where he had acquired land and held influence.
Howard is perhaps best known for his role as commander of the English fleet against the Spanish Armada in 1588. However, this was actually his son Charles Howard, who was also a prominent naval commander.
William Howard was a staunch Catholic and during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, he was known for his opposition to the English Reformation. He was briefly imprisoned in 1569 for his alleged involvement in the Northern Rebellion, a Catholic uprising against the queen.
Howard was married twice and had several children, including Charles Howard, 1st Earl of Nottingham, who served as Lord High Admiral during the reign of King James I. Sir William Howard died on January 21, 1573, and was buried in the Howard family chapel at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Stoke-by-Nayland, Suffolk.

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION PROVIDED BY TERRY ASCHE:
I just came across your Family Tree entry in Ancestry.com a little while ago. It was fun because it connects to mine!
For me, the line goes: Robert S. Bailey, Francis Marion Bailey, Martha Almeady Bailey Hanson, William Franklin Hanson, Evielou Rachel Hanson Thomas, Evelyn Thomas West, and then me - Terry West Asche.
In our family, Francis Marion Bailey's daughter was always known as Almeady. It was only later than I discovered she was also Martha Almeady and in one census, she is listed as Amandy. (I never heard her called Amy - I would love to know where that one came from!!).
She died in 1929 in Villa Rica, Carroll Co., GA and is buried in the Wesley Chapel Cemetery. There is a genealogist there (Myron House) who has wonderful information on the family. We visited him at the university library and we exchanged a lot of information.
Almeady's 1st marriage was to John Robert Hanson on Jan 3, 1868 in Carroll Co., GA. Their first child was my great grandfather - Wililam Franklin Hanson (Jan 3, 1869). Their next 2 children were twins born Oct 22, 1872 - Francis Marion "Bose" Hanson and Lucy Ann Johnson Hanson. We believe, but I have not yet proven, that she was the one my great-grandfather always called "Lutey."
Almeady's 2nd marriage was to James Franklin Marion Hanson, who was her 1st husband's uncle. They were married ca 1873, but I haven't been able to get any documents on that one. There children were:
Reuben W. July 1875 married Martha "Maggie" Benton (7 kids)
Margaret A. Mar 20, 1876 "Maggie" or "Aunt Sis" married John Blair
Thomas A. and John Brown were twins born Sep 12, 1878.
Wesley R. Quillan "Quill" Aug 15, 1880 married Mary Elizabeth Phillips (11 kids)
Henry Lemuel "Lem" Feb 1882
Robert Richard "Bob" July 24, 1884 married Mabell Daughtry (12 kids)
Edgar born 1889-189
Almeady is in the 1850 census in Floyd Co, GA at age 2, and in the 1860 in Carroll Co at age 15 (she aged fast in that decade!!). In 1880, she is the wife of JFM in Carroll Co and in 1920 she is living with her daughter and son-in-law, John and Maggie Blair.
Yet another version of her name comes from her son, John Brown Hanson's Soc Sec Application Form SS5: Al Mealia Bailey. I just think none of them really knew how to spell it!
I have so much information on all of this line, but this should do for a starter. I also have one picture of Almeady - the only one I have been able to find!

_______________________________________________________________________________
NOTE: The following information and thoughts provided by John Mallory Land, McKinney, TX.
The exact date Robert S. Bailey and family moved from Anderson, SC to Georgia is not known at this time; however, a newspaper article from the Anderson Intelligencer in 1828 may provide some information. The article was found in a compilation of newspaper articles Brent H. Holcomb, "Marriage and Death Notices from Pendleton SC Intellengencer, 1807-1851". October 1, 1828 Issue, "Married on the 23 by Rev. Sanford Vandiver, Mr. Noah Archer of Andersonvillage to Miss Hannah Bailey, daughter of Mr. Robert S. Bailey."
Page 29 I have the following in my files, from notes made by Martha P. (ADERHOLD) SPARKS (b. ca. 1845 Carroll Co, GA), daughter of George W. & Nancy Elizabeth (BAILEY) ADERHOLD. She resided at Tyus, Carroll Co, GA.
She states in part:"Father's father [sic - should read "My father"] married Elizabeth BAILEY. Her father [Robert S. BAILEY] moved from SC near Anderson[,] then they [moved] to Carroll [sic] County Georgia then to Carroll County[.] her father's home and farm was on Snakes Creek[;] he lived and died there and was buried at the grave yard on the place. His wife was Elizabeth COPLAND and her people come from Ireland. Her husband was Inglish[.] Billy COPLAND was her Cousin[;] he was a first cousin, [while] I'm a third cousin.
M.P.S."If I have a copy of the original notes, I cannot put my hands it right now, so I am working from a typed transcription a cousin made, and I can't be sure whether or not any of the errors here are the result of the transcription. (Punctuation/comments in brackets are my additions.) I would love to know the correct name of the Georgia county where the Robert S. BAILEY family resided prior to moving to Carroll Co., but the original may contain the same redundancy as the transcription. At any rate, this account places the family near Anderson in SC prior to moving into Georgia. Based on birthplace data from various censuses (which as you know are not entirely reliable), it seems that Robert S. & Betsy (COPLAND) BAILEY (both ca. 1778) and all of their children (the last about 1819) were born in SC. I would expect to find the family on the 1820 federal census of SC. How much longer they remained there is a matter of speculation at this point. It is not clear whether Robert and Betsy's children who married and had children while still in SC moved to GA at the same time as the rest of the family. ________________________________________________________________________________
WILL OF ROBERT S. BAILEY
NOTE: The following transcription and compiler notes provided by Mr. John Mallory Land, McKinney, TX. From Carroll Co, GA, Annual Returns, Book B (1841-53), pp. 303-04: In the name of God Amen. I Robert S. BAILEY of the County of Carroll in the State of Georgia being weak in body but of sound mind and memory blessed be God for his mercies do make and ordain this my last will and testament in the words following that is to say.

[Compiler's notes: the widow Betsy BAILEY was nee COP(E)LAND. The kinship of Syrena (Serena) COPELAND is not known at this time. Deeds in which heirs sold their interest in the land bequeathed in this will (lots 61, 36 and 29 in the Fifth Land District in Carroll Co, GA) indicate that there were nine shares. These equal shares went to (in the order in which they appear in the will; based on available information, the nine children or their survivors are probably named in chronological birth order and probably all b. in SC.
NOTE: Complier notes provided by John Mallory Land, McKinney, TX. William C. BAILEY (b. 1800's?) Sarah BAILEY (b. ca. 1806, m. bef. 1823 SC? Robert McCALISTER/McCOLLISTER) Hannah H. BAILEY (b. ca. 1808, m. bef. 1834 SC? Noah ARCHER, was dead by MAR 1843) John M. DALE (b. 1807) - wife Mary Jane said to be b. 1809 William GABLE (b. 1836) - less $20 paid to his father Harmon GABLE (b. ca. 1812) - wife Jane probably b. 1810's (m. 1835 Carroll Co, GA) Charles G. BAILEY (b. ca. 1812?), m. Nancy UNKNOWN John B. BAILEY (b. ca. 1814, m. bef. 1835 Sarah KNIGHT) Nancy E[lizabeth] BAILEY (b. ca. 1817, m. 1837 Carroll Co, GA to George W. ADERHOLD) Francis M[arion] BAILEY (b. ca. 1819, m. 1840 Carroll Co, GA Lucinda Ann "Lucy" DUKE)
Note that, although all three daughters named are known to have been married before the will was made, they are listed by their maiden names. Hannah's husband Noah ARCHER had died before MAR 1843, but Sarah's and Nancy Elizabeth's were still living. John Messer DALE had m. 1829 in Gwinnett Co, GA to Mary Jane BAILEY (AUG 1809 - JUL 1849). In the will, Robert BAILEY calls John M. DALE his friend - which indeed may have been the case - but he could not refer to him as his son-in-law because DALE had remarried. It is probable that Harmon GABLE's wife Jane BAILEY, whom he m. 1835 in Carroll Co, GA, was also deceased, as he is apparently the Harmon GABLE who m. 1842 in Carroll Co, GA, to Louisa WEEMS. This is probably the same woman as his wife Eliza on the 1850 census of Carroll Co. William GABLE is listed as the only heir of Jane evidently because he was the only (surviving) child she bore. According to a deed in Book H, p. 476, William GABLE, Robert's grandson, sold his interest in lots 61, 36, and 29 in the Fifth Land District to John M. DALE (instrument dated 11 JUL 1857 and filed with the Carroll Co, GA, Superior Court on 12 JUL 1857). I have not yet obtained a copy of this document. Robert and his wife (d. 1850's?) are probably both buried with other family members in the BAILEY family plot, which was located near the residence on the above referenced property.

Born about 1778 in South Carolina. Married, probably between 1800 and 1806 in South Carolina, to Eliabeth "Betsey" COPLAND. The BAILEYS were originally English and the COPLANDS, Irish.
Robert owned land in Carroll County, Georgia, by October 3, 1827, when a tract of land he owned was sold in a sheriff's sale; they probably had moved to Georgia by 1824, as it seems this lot was drawn in the 1827 Georgia Land Lottery.
Robert evidently heads a household on the 1830 census of Campbell County, Georgia (this county is now defunct, but was east of and adjacent to Carroll County). He heads a household on the 1840 census of General Militia District #729 in Carroll County, Georgia.
Heads a household in the Eleventh District of Carroll County, Georgia, in 1850; he was farming and his holdings were valued at $2500. With him are his wife and a grandson, Hezekiah ARCHER, aged 16 years. Died between January 16, 1852, when his Last Will and Testament was made, and February 7, 1852, when this LWT was proved in the Carroll County Court of Ordinary. Burial in the family grave yard on the old Bailey place inferred - Dr. Joseph Robertson HOOD mentions this family burying ground in a letter, and Robert's grandson, Robert S. ADERHOLD (who was evidently named for him), was buried there in 1862. | BAILEY, Robert S (I3371)

Born about 1778 in South Carolina. Married, probably between 1800 and 1806 in South Carolina, to Robert S. BAILEY. They evidently had moved to Georgia by 1824 and were residing in Carroll County, Georgia, by October 3, 1827. Mother of at least nine children.
According to an account by Dr. Joseph Robertson HOOD, in a letter to one of his grandchildren: as of 1855, the widowed Mrs. Betsy (COPLAND) BAILEY resides on the "large, well-improved and very fine farm on Snake's Creek in Carroll Co, GA," including a large and extra-fine body of bottom land, which her husband has left her. The public road from Carrollton to Palmetto runs through this farm, and family members are buried in a graveyard near the residence. [Much of this bottom land is now evidently under a lake formed by damming Snake's Creek.] Mrs. BAILEY's son-in-law George W. ADERHOLD resides on the farm and will attend to her business for the remainder of her life [Betsey is apparently deceased by March 3, 1860, when George W. & Nancy Elizabeth (BAILEY) ADERHOLD sell her interest in land lots 61, 36, and 29 in the Fifth Land District in Carroll Co, GA, which N. Elizabeth had inherited]. | COPELAND, Elizabeth "Betsy" (I3372)

Brother of Reginald Fitz-Urse, one of the 4 knights who murdered Thomas a Becket. The name "Fitz-Urse" is French or Norman, "Fitz" meaning "son", "Urse" meaning "bear". The date of Richard's birth is not known but he was an adult in the year 1170 when his brother, Reginald Fitz-Urse was a Knight at the Court of King Henry II of England. The King was in Normandy with his Court when he heard of more trouble being caused him by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket. Henry, in his outrage, asked, "Won't anyone rid me of this troublesome Priest?"

BURIAL: Danby Rural Cemetery
Also known as Curtis Cemetery; Was once known as Beers Cemetery
Town of Danby, Tompkins County, NY Located on Curtis Road Cemetery is active; records are complete to the 1980s, plus updates sent in by volunteers.
Dr. Lewis Beers came to the Danby area in 1797. He owned the first framed house in the town located on Curtis Road. The family Cemetery some distance from the house, is now the Danby Rural Cemetery. In the early days a path lined with daffadils connected the house and "burying ground." Each spring still finds many of golden blooms threading a trail of color through the grass. (Written by Lois O'Connor in CROSSROADS COMMENT 1949)
BURIAL: DANBY RURAL CEMETERY ASSOCIATION was incorporated under the general law, July 1, 1871. The land was donated for the purpose by E. L. B. Curtis. Trustees, Charles B. Curtis, Luther G. Genung ,Levi C. Beers, E. L. B. Curtis,; the latter was the first president; the first secretary was G. F. Nourse. Present officers: E. L. B. Curtis, President; Levi L. Beers, Secretary, Lucian B.

Born about 1728 in Stafford County, VA.

Called Elizabeth. Born about 1818 in Georgia. Daughter of Robert S. & Betsy (COPELAND) BAILEY. Married September 24, 1837, in Carroll County, Georgia, to George W. ADERHOLD, son of John George & Margaret (HASSELBERGER) ADERHOLD. Homemaker and mother of at least seven children: Serena Adeline ADERHOLD (m. William Walter "Buck" RICHARDS, Sr., d. bef. 1884); Robert S. ADERHOLD (d. 1862); Luna Jackson ADERHOLD (m. Ada Jane HOOD, d. 1893); Martha P. ADERHOLD (twin, m. Moses Andrew Jackson SPARKS, d. 1923); Mary ADERHOLD (twin); Josephus Wood ADERHOLD (b. ca. 1854, disabled). Elizabeth's burial at the Bailey Cemetery is speculative but likely: her parents and a son who died in 1862 are buried there, and she was living in the same vicinity when she died in the 1860s; also, in 1870, her widower George W. ADERHOLD is living next door to Samuel P. & Sarah WILSON, who are buried at Sparks Cemetery.
