| 303 | Administrator of his father's estate. In a deed date 5 Aug 1702 William Dam and wife Martha gave to their son Pomfret Dam the island commonly known as Goat Island. This island was one of the points to which was connected the old bridge across Great Bay from Fox's Point to Madbury. In 1724 Pomfret Dam also received lands formerly belonging to his grandfather Lt William Pomfret. There are no records of the names of the children or the dates of their births. Mention of the oldest son is found in "Probate Records of the Province of New Hampshire," vol 2 pp 334-335, where is given the appraisal of Pomfret Dam's real estate by Paul Wentworth, Thomas Wallingford and Robert Evans; and it was "Allowed the last Wednesday in June 1736 and ordered that the oldest son Samuel Dam have two thirds of the estate and pay the other children their shares."

| 322 | After marrying Cincinnati businessman Frank Wiborg, Adaline would move first to that city, and then to New York. In New York, she and her husband maintained homes both in the city and on Long Island. —— CUSTOMS SEIZE TWENTY TRUNKS Undeclared Apparel Worth $5000, Property of Mrs Frank Wiborg, Detained From The Inquirer Bureau. NEW YORK, Sept. 11.--Customs inspectors seized today the contents of twenty trunks brought here from Europe last Friday on the steamer Mauretania by Mrs. Frank B. Wiborg, of Cincinnati, wife of the former Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Labor, and her three daughters, the Misses Sarah, Olga and M. Hoyt Wiborg. Most of the contents of the trunks was wearing apparel. The seizure of the trunks was decided upon after an investigation extending over several days. When Mrs. Wiborg and her daughters landed, the inspectors found mistakes in their declarations and, in searching their baggage, found articles which had not been declared at all. It was thought that the Wiborg's had merely forgotten to list all their foreign purchases and the trunks were sent to the appraisers' stores. There the inspectors found the original cost of the undeclared goods to be about $5000, duty on which would be about $3000. They so reported at a hearing today, and the case was placed in the hands of the United States District Attorney for further action. [Philadelphia Inquirer (PA), 12 September 1913] —— Mrs. Adeline Sherman Wiborg. [Jan. 3] Mrs. Adeline Sherman Wiborg, wife of Frank B. Wiborg of Cincinnati and New York, and a niece of General William T. Sherman, died yesterday at her home, 40 Fifth Avenue, following a stroke of paralysis several weeks ago. She was born in Des Moines, Iowa, the daughter of the late Major Hoyt Sherman and Sara Moulton. Mrs. Wiborg had been active in war relief work and recently returned from a trip to France in connection with the organizations in this city of which she was a member. Besides her husband, Mrs. Wiborg left three daughters, Mrs. Gerald C. Murphy, Miss Mary Hoyt Wiborg, and Mrs. Sidney W. Fish. [New York Times, 4 Jan 1917] | SHERMAN, Adaline Moulton (I43066)

| 323 | After moving to the Kalvgarden farm in 1906 he took the name Valrygg. Since then, the family used Valrygg as a surname. | BENDIKSEN VALRYGG, Ole Andreas (I2474)
|
| 324 | After the deaths of her parents, Sara briefly lived with her grandfather, Hoyt Sherman, the prominent Des Moines banker and insurance magnate who was a brother of General William Tecumseh Sherman and Senator John Sherman. Hoyt died in 1904, and Sara went to live with her aunt, Adaline, and Adaline's husband, Frank Wiborg. The Wiborgs were living in Cincinnati at the time, where Frank Wiborg was a prominent businessman. The family later moved to East Hampton, New York. Sara's life with the Wiborgs was not particularly happy, being overshadowed by the more glamorous, and more eccentric Wiborg daughters, and recording that she was treated as the 'poor country cousin'. After marrying Ledyard Mitchell in 1910, she returned to Cincinnati, then moved with him and their family to the Detroit area in 1917. Later, they would have homes both in Grosse Pointe, MI, and East Hampton, NY. —— SARA SHERMAN MITCHELL A Requiem Mass was said for Mrs. Mitchell on Monday, November 10, in St. Paul's Church. She died at her 60 Merriweather road residence on Friday, November 7. Born in Iowa, Mrs. Mitchell was the wife of the late W. Ledyard Mitchell and the mother of the late Mrs. Paul Deming. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. James Walker, of Oyster Bay, N.Y., Mrs. H. M. Campbell, III; two sons, Sherman and Ledyard, Jr.; 16 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Mrs. Mitchell was a member of The Grosse Pointe Club, The Garden Club of Michigan and a trustee of The Neighborhood Club. Memorial tributes may be made to The Neighborhood Club of Grosse Pointe or St. Paul's Church. Interment is in Mount Elliott Cemetery.

He was succeeded by his son Thorfin Hussakliffer. ----- Einarr was the youngest s/o Rögnvald Eysteinss/o Møre, Norway, by a concubine. Rögnvald's family conquered the Orkney and Shetland islands in the late ninth century, and Rögnvald's brother, Sigurd Eysteinsson, was made Earl of Orkney. After his death on campaign, Sigurd was succeeded by his son, Guthorm, who died shortly afterward. Rögnvald sent one of his sons, Hallad, to govern the islands but Hallad was unable to maintain control, resigned his earldom and returned to Norway as a common landholder. According to the Norse Heimskringla and Orkneyinga sagas, Rögnvald had little regard for his youngest son Einarr because Einarr's mother was a slave. The sagas record that Rögnvald agreed to provide Einarr with a ship and crew in the hope that he would sail away and never return. Einarr sailed to the Scottish islands, where he defeated two Danish warlords, Þórir Tréskegg (Thorir Treebeard) and Kálf Skurfa (Kalf the Scurvy), who had taken residence there, and established himself as earl. It is unclear whether the account in the sagas of Einarr's conquest is accurate. Though the Historia Norvegiæ, written at the same time as the sagas but from a different source, confirms that Rögnvald's family conquered the islands, it gives few details. The scene in the sagas where Einarr's father scorns him is a literary device which often figures in Old Norse literature. Much of Einarr's story in the sagas appears to be derived from five skaldic verses attributed to Einarr himself. The remainder of Einarr's long reign was apparently unchallenged, and he died in his bed of a sickness, leaving three sons, Arnkel, Erlend and Thorfinn. The sagas describe Einarr as tall, ugly and blind in one eye, but sharp-sighted nonetheless. Despite these apparent disabilities, as well as his low-born mother, Einarr established a dynasty which ruled the Orkney Islands until 1470.«s76» | RÖGNVALDARSON, Jarl Turf-Einar (I35228)

| 341 | ALDEN FULLER - CLOTHIER AND FARMER OF ACTON, MASS 1796-1875 A Yankee Heritage Beginning with John Fuller of Newton by Bruce Faulkner White, Linda Vandegrift and Ashley A, Thorndike Copyright 1987 Alden's childhood with his parents Ebenezer and Betsy is shrouded in uncertainty. Alden and all of his siblings were recorded, as being born in Concord yet there is sparse information about their lives there. The family never owned a home and based on the few tax records, lived meagerly at best. In the early years following the Revolutionary war the Nation was beset by economic difficulties and it was not until well into the nineteenth century that circumstances became more prosperous. And as the country prospered, so did our line of the Fuller family who we find in the neighboring town of Acton in 1822, where Alden made his home. Acton was incorporated as a township in 1735 and in the early years it was primarily an agricultural town. However, the Nashoba river winding through Acton Center, South Acton, West Acton and on towards the town of Littleton, provided a source of water power which ensured the growth of small local industries that served the surrounding communities for years to come. Acton in the 1800's, like so many rural New England towns, experienced the rapid changes brought about by the beginning of the industrial revolution. During the 1700's there were only two mills located in the west part of the town, owned at various times by the Faulkner family. By the nineteenth century many small industries had been established in town. Cooper shops abounded and accounted for a large share of the town's commercial revenue. In Acton Center the second meetinghouse was erected in 1807. When the decision was made to build the meetinghouse, Samuel Jones, Esq. began active real estate development to create a town center. He donated the greater part of the common as a free gift to the town; he built a hotel, a store, various shops for blacksmiths and coopers, and three houses. The several mills in Acton Center included a bellows manufacturer and a gristmill. In 1808, South Acton was known as Mill Corner and had only three dwelling houses within a radius of one-quarter mile, as well as a saw, grist, and fulling mill. In West Acton there was Bradley Stone's Blacksmith Shop (established in 1837), the Tin Shop of Henderson Rowell (1844), Oliver Wyman's Shoemaker Shop (1850) and Page's Tavern (1848). A business that became very successful in later years was A& 0. Mead & Co. established in 1840, the first refrigerated warehouse for the commercial storage of fruit in this country. (That bbusiness grew to become a very large and lucrative conglomerate.) In addition to those enterprises the area produced lumber products such as tubs, pails and churns and the abundance of apple orchards necessitated the erection of a local cider mill. On March 21,1822 when Alden Fuller was twenty-six years old he and Sarah Faulkner of Acton was joined in matrimony (recorded in the Harvard town records). Sarah's family was an old and respected family of Acton. The Faulkners had arrived in Acton about 1735 and were known for their early enterprises in textile manufacturing. Later local recognition was won by one Col. Faulkner's participation in the revolutionary war. Over the years the family continued to maintain an eminent position in the town. This ancestral family of ours has a very interesting history, which is presented in Chapter Eight. Sarah proved to be an extremely dutiful wife and a very durable woman; she bore fifteen children over the next twenty-three years, the last when she was forty-three years old. The first child was named Ephraim Warren (b.1823), his Grandparent's namesake. Following Ephraim an infant was born who died unnamed in 1824. On June 6 1825 Sarah gave birth to Emerson Faulkner, our direct lineal ancestor. The choice of Faulkner for a middle name is obvious. His first name, however, comes from a less direct Sarah's brother Nathanial Sidney Faulkner married a Sophia Emerson and from that connection Emerson received his given name.* Following Emerson came Luther Farwell (b.1827), George H. (b.1828), Susan Maria Faulkner (b.1829), Alden A (b.1832), Henry Alden (b.1833), Sarah Augusta (b.1834), Caroline (b.1836), Lucy Ann (b.1838), Francis L (b.1840),Harriet M. (b.1841), Chancey Upham (b. 1843), and last Mary Sophia (b.1846). Alden began purchasing property at the age of twenty-five. In 1821, shortly before his marriage, he purchased a fulling mill in the town of Harvard about seven miles west of Acton ( the mill was built about 1782 by Seth Gould of Sturbridge ). His older brother Ephriam, who had already established himself in the textile business in the town of Lancaster, and his association with the Faulkners, who had long been in the business, probably influenced Alden's decision. Although he did not marry Sarah Faulkner until the following year, Alden had probably developed close ties to the Faulkner family and thereby had gained a knowledge of the textile business by that time. In 1826 Alden, "a clothier", purchased from Mary Faulkner, "single woman", eight acres of woodland and the easterly front room in a dwelling house and chamber with kitchen privileges, in West Acton for $250. In 1830 the census for Acton records that there were eight persons in his household ( the census at that time listed the number of persons by age group with no names). The Fuller family by that time had grown to seven persons including Alden, Sarah and their year old baby Susan Maria so the eighth member of the household was not family, probably a hired hand employed to work on the farm or to help with the household chores. It was also in that year that Alden dissolved his partnership with John Whitney and they sold the fulling mill in Harvard to Joseph C. Green. It is doubtful that Alden maintained any activity in the fulling business as that industry was rapidly succumbing to the large textile mills that were growing in areas with more plentiful water power. By the end of the 1850's all such mills in Acton had ceased operations or had been modified to house more lucrative local enterprises. In 1848, Alden purchased ten and one-quarter acres of pasture and swamp in West Acton abutting land he already owned for $250. He again added to his holdings in 1850 with the purchase, from Silas Davis, of a two story house and an adjoining shed at a cost $500. In the same year he bought another half acre in West Acton for $100. In 1869 Alden bought land in West Acton from his son-in-law Frank Whitcomb for $3,000 (this transaction was actually a mortgage, a loan to Whitcomb). By 1850 Alden's estate was worth $2,750: $1,000 in buildings, forty acres of improved land valued at $1,000, and sixty-nine acres of unimproved land worth $750. In comparison, his wife's second cousin, Winthrop E. Faulkner ( owner of the Faulkner Mills) had an estate worth $6,436. In the 11860 Census Alden, listed as farmer, had improved his holdings to include real estate valued at $4,000 and a personal estate of $1,050. Records of Alden's early activities in the town are sparse. As a young man, he sang in the choir at the new meeting house ( erected in 1807) along with several of the Faulkner girls and his wife's great Uncle, Winthrop Faulkner, who was a "Chorister". In 1833, Alden became a member of the newly established Evangelical Church, the membership consisting of the orthodox members of the old Congregational Church whose new minister had introduced more liberal Unitarian ideas. He served as Selectman in 1841-42 and in 1846 was appointed to a committee to confer with the first parish about renting space in the lower part of their building for town meetings. When that meeting ended it was recorded that: "adjournment was made to Tuttle's Tavern to count the votes for state officers." When it was decided to build a monument (still standing on the Acton common) to Capt. Isaac Davis-the first American to fall in the Revolution in the fight at Concord Bridge-Alden and Winthrop Faulkner were appointed to a committee to organize and hold a 1000 plate dinner to celebrate the completion of the giant granite obelisk. During the time of the Civil War, at the age of sixty-five, he was head of the local committee for the West school and served again as a selectman in 1861-1862 (the latter, for which he was paid $17.00.) In Apri11861 he was on a committee to prepare a reception for the Davis Guard upon their return home from their tour in the Civil war: "The committee was instructed to procure either the Lowell Brass Band or Hart's Band of Boston and arrange to entertain at a dinner, the wives of the men of company E, together with other companies formed in town." In addition to paying it's public officials for their time and effort, the town paid its residents for necessary town maintenance as well as for other miscellaneous work. For instance, in 1861-62 Henry Hartwell was paid $3.40 for opening the Town Hall twelve times and $2.00 for tolling the bell for ten deaths. Thomas Moore was paid $26.87 for twenty-one and one half days work on the burying ground. Winthrop Conant received $4.50 for summoning thirty-seven persoons to take the oath of office and John Tenney $9.90 for digging graves and attending funerals with his hearse. Alden's son, Emerson Faulkner Fuller, and Winthrop E. Faulkner received payment for "breaking roads." Sometime after his father-in-law, Nathaniel Faulkner died Alden and his family moved into the old Faulkner homestead (on the road from West Acton to Stow), which had been purchased by Sarah's grandfather in 1764 and recently occupied by the late Nathaniel. There he and Sarah lived until his death in 1875 from "injuries received by falling." His obituary in the Concord Freeman states only his name, date of death and his age: " 77 years 7 months 7 days." Alden's will, written on the 15th day of July 1871, reads in part: The Will of Alden Fuller Flrst..l give and bequeath unto my wife Sarah Fuller if she survives me, a sufficient amount of my property to maintain her comfortably during her natural life... Second..l give and bequeath unto my daughter Mary S. Preston, wife of Oscar E. Preston, the sum of $300.00 Third...unto my daughter Francis L. Whitcomb, wife of Frank H. Whitcomb, the sum of $200.00 Fourth...the balance or residue of my estate, both real and personal, to my children Emerson, Luther, George, Alden, Chauncey, Sarah, Lucy A. Sawyer, Caroline, Francis, and Mary, to be divided among them equally... And I hereby appoint by son, Emerson Faulkner to be the sole executor of this my last will... Alden's first son Ephriam died before the making of the will and two of his married daughters passed away after the will was made but before Aldens death (their portion of the estate was divided among their heirs). His estate was worth a total of $7,222.89, most of that being in promissory notes. The estate was not settled until after the death of his wife Sarah in 1882. With expenses for both funerals, tablets and other incidentals mounting to $1,862.57, the residue, $5,360.32, was left to divide among his heirs. Those that remained of his fifteen children each received $441.85. Alden is buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery in West Acton along with his wife, Sarah. Nearby are buried Sarah's brother Nathaniel Sidney and his wife Sophia Emerson Faulkner and several of their children. | FULLER, Alden (I10524)

| 342 | Alexander and his older brother Duncan were shipped to the USA as prisoners in 1650 and arrived in Maine. According to family tradition, Duncan was born about 1623 in the parish of Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland. He was a soldier who was captured in the Cromwellian War and was shipped to Massachusetts, USA, as an indentured servant. Duncan Stewart was transported to Ipswich, Massachusetts sometime before 1649. He was enslaved as an indentured servant to George Hadley in whose service he worked as a shipwright. Duncan married about APR 1654 to Ann Winchurst who was an indentured servant of John Cogswell. Duncan and Ann were whipped for fornication by order of the church sometime prior to their marriage. —— Duncan Stewart was born in the Highlands of Scotland about 1623. He espoused the cause of his kinsman King Charles II, and in supporting him, either at the battle of Dunbar in 1650, or Worcester in 1651, was captured by the army of Cromwell, and with the other prisoners taken in those battles sent to the American Colonies, and indentured as servants to the Colonists. Duncan was landed at Ipswich, Mass., in 1654 and married Anna Winchurst of that town. They removed to Newbury in 1659 and for thirty years occupied a farm in Byfield Parish near the Rowley town line. They later removed to Rowley. In early Suffolk Court Records, Vol. 42, p. 75, dated 1698, on file at the courthouse in Boston, Mass., can be found the deposition of Duncan Stewart "About seventy-five years old" and witnessed by the court officer. The name of Duncan Stewart, and later a reference to his widow as "Old Widow Stewart" appears in Rowley town records. Duncan died in 1717, and his wife in 1729, probably over a hundred years old." - From "Sprague Journal of Maine History, Vol. VIII" "DUNCAN, Newbury, shipwright, perhaps br. of Alexander, had Martha, b. 4 Apr. 1659; Charles, 5 June 1661; James, 8 Oct. 1664; Henry, 1 May 1669; rem. to Rowley, had three more, [[vol. 4, p. 191]] and d. 1717, aged, as Coffin says, prob. from exagger. tradit. 100." - From Savage Their first child was Catherine. —— STEWART, Duncan m.

| 344 | Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson, FRS (6 August 1809 – 6 October 1892) was Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom during much of Queen Victoria's reign and remains one of the most popular poets in the English language.[citation needed] Tennyson excelled at penning short lyrics, such as "In the Valley of Cauteretz", "Break, Break, Break", "The Charge of the Light Brigade", "Tears, Idle Tears" and "Crossing the Bar". Much of his verse was based on classical mythological themes, such as Ulysses, although In Memoriam A.H.H. was written to commemorate his best friend Arthur Hallam, a fellow poet and fellow student at Trinity College, Cambridge, who was engaged to Tennyson's sister, but died from a brain haemorrhage before they could marry. Tennyson also wrote some notable blank verse including Idylls of the King, "Ulysses," and "Tithonus." During his career, Tennyson attempted drama, but his plays enjoyed little success. | TENNYSON, Lord Alfred (I4719)

| 347 | Alice de Toeni, Countess of Warwick (26 April 1284 – 1 January 1324/25) was a wealthy English heiress and the second wife of Guy de Beauchamp, 10th Earl of Warwick (1272 – 12 August 1315), an English nobleman in the reign of Kings Edward I and Edward II. He was one of the principal opponents of Piers Gaveston, a favourite of Edward II. Alice married three times; Guy was her second husband. Alice de Toeni was born on 26 April 1284[citation needed] in Flamsted, Hertfordshire, the only daughter of Ralph VII de Toeni, Lord Toeni of Flamsted (1255–1295) and his wife, Mary, about whom nothing is known except that she was born in Scotland. Alice's paternal grandparents were Roger V de Toeni, Lord Flamsted and Alice de Bohun. The latter was a daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, 2nd Earl of Hereford and Maud de Lusignan. Alice had an older brother Robert de Toeni, Lord Toeni of Flamsted (4 April 1276–1309), who married Maud, the daughter of Malise, 6th Earl of Strathearn, but died childless in 1309. Upon his death, Alice became his heir. Her inheritance included manors in Essex, Worcestershire, Wiltshire, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and the Welsh Marches. In 1300, when Alice was sixteen, she married her first husband, Sir Thomas Leybourne (died May 1307), s/o Sir William Leybourne, by whom she had one daughter: Juliana de Leybourne (1303/1304–1367), married firstly, John, Lord Hastings, by whom she had issue, secondly Thomas le Blount, and thirdly, William Clinton. On 28 February 1310, less than three years after the death of her first husband, Alice married secondly Guy de Beauchamp, 10th Earl of Warwick, the only s/o William de Beauchamp, 9th Earl of Warwick and Maud FitzJohn. He had been previously married to Isabel de Clare, the daughter of Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Gloucester and Alice de Lusignan of Angoulême, but the marriage, which had produced no children, was annulled. Guy had already distinguished himself in the Scottish Wars and was one of the Ordainers, who sought to restrict the powers of the King. Guy de Beauchamp was one of the chief adversaries of Piers Gaveston, King Edward's favourite, who often referred to Guy as The Mad Hound, due to the Earl's habit of foaming at the mouth when angry.[1] In 1312, Guy de Beauchamp captured Gaveston and took him to his principal residence Warwick Castle where Gaveston was held prisoner and afterwards murdered. Alice and Guy had two sons and five daughters: * Thomas de Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick (14 February 1313/1314 – 13 November 1369), married Katherine Mortimer, by whom he had fifteen children. * John de Beauchamp, Lord Beauchamp KG (1315 – 2 December 1360), carried the royal standard at the Battle of Crecy * Elizabeth de Beauchamp (c. 1316–1359), married in 1328, Thomas of Astley, 3rd Lord Astley, by whom she had a son William of Astley, 4th Lord Astley. * Maud de Beauchamp (died 1366), married Geoffrey de Say, 2nd Lord Say, by whom she had issue. * Isabella de Beauchamp, married John Clinton. * Emma de Beauchamp, married Rowland Odingsells. * Lucia de Beauchamp, married Robert de Napton. Following the sudden death of Guy de Beauchamp at Warwick Castle on 28 July 1315, which was rumoured to have been caused by poisoning, Alice married thirdly on 26 October 1316, William la Zouche de Mortimer, 1st Lord Zouche de Mortimer (see Baron Zouche), by whom she had a son and daughter:[2] * Alan la Zouche de Mortimer. (born 15 September 1317), participated in the Battle of Crécy, and died shortly afterwards. * Joyce la Zouche de Mortimer (born 1318) Alice de Toeni died on 1 January 1324/25.[3] The de Toeni lands and manors passed to her eldest son Thomas de Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick. Her widower, Lord Zouche, later abducted and married Eleanor de Clare, widow of Hugh Le Despenser, the Younger. Lord Zouche had been one of Le Despenser's captors and had led the siege of Caerphilly Castle. | DE TOENI, Alice (I43354)

Ayers, Ayhaire, Ayre, Ayres, Eaire, Eairs, Eares, Eayer, Wayr, Eayre, Eires, Eyer, Eyers, Eyre, Eyres and Heires. —— According to Thorpe's catalog of the legendary deeds of Battle Abbey, and W. E. Lincoln's genealogy of the Lincoln family, the traditional origin of this surname took place on the battlefield at Hastings in 1066 when Duke William was flung from his horse and his helmet driven into his face. One of his followers, Truelove, saw the accident, pulled off the helmet and re-horsed him. The Duke said to him, "Thou shalt hereafter from Truelove be called Eyre (Air) because thou hast given me the air I breathe." When William inquired about him later he found him severely wounded, his leg and thigh struck off. He ordered the finest care and later awarded him lands in Derby as well as "the leg and thigh in armour, cut off, for his crest, and this honorable badge is still worn by all the Eyres in England." Mr. Lincoln as well as other authorities also cite another possible, and more prosaic, origin, simply "the heir". The addition of the final s produces "s/o the heir". A common 13th century variation of the name was Le Heyer or Le Ayer. Other forms seen are Ayre, Aire, Eyer, Eire, and Hayers. Coat of Arms: Argent on a chevron sa 4 foils. Crest: Leg in Armour couped at thigh, and spur. http://www.ponderroses.com/SteveJohnsonFamily/ps10/ps10_055.htm | EYRE, Thomas MP (I6997)

| 367 | An adventurer by nature, Lord Richard would accompany Rhodesian army units into action while himself wearing army uniform and carrying a rifle. He was reported to have fired a rifle at insurgent targets on several occasions. He ignored warnings that such conduct was inappropriate and dangerous for a journalist. Lord Richard was a member of a 20 strong group of correspondents known as the "Bang Gang". This group was intimately involved in the Rhodesian cause, and went about their journalistic work heavily armed. Lord Richard was nicknamed "Young Winston" by fellow journalists. This referred to similarities between the early careers of Lord Richard and Winston Churchill. The nickname was not used kindly in every case. Some of his fellow journalists considered that his conduct exposed all journalists in Rhodesia to the charge of being combatants - and being treated accordingly in certain eventualities such as capture. On 20 April 1978, Lord Richard and his cameraman (Nick Downie) parachuted into insurgent dominated territory in North East Rhodesia with an army airborne unit. He was intending to record material for use in a film he was making about the Bush War. The unit became scattered during the parachute drop and their position was infiltrated by ZANLA guerrillas. While moving through dense undergrowth, Lord Richard encountered a ZANLA man who fired into him at a range of less than 5 metres. He was hit in the chest, stomach and legs, and died after a few minutes. The Rhodesian Ministry of Defence reported him as being "killed in action". His body was returned to England for burial. | CECIL, Richard Valentine (I10261)

He participated when the town divided the mowing of beach lots in 1654 and in 1657 he bought lot No. 35 of Mr. Hall's farm, which Hall had sold to the town, for £1: 18: 2. His name appears on several church lists and petitions. He also bought and sold several small planting lots, ox commons, etc., between 1650 and 1667. He was sworn constable of Salisbury on 9 April 1650 and was on the Grand Jury in the Salisbury Court of 2 December 1666. In 1677 he was in court twice: one on July 5 he complained that Sarah Taylor, his servant, had departed in a disorderly way, accusing his wife of beating her cruelly. The court ordered Sarah's mother to place her in some godly family and in the meantime Sarah was "to refrain from the company of Goodwife Houldredge and Sarah Buswell." In October Allen and his son, Jeremy, then aged 19, were sued by Joseph Greely to recover a horse which Jeremy had taken without Greeley's knowledge. Greeley won the case and Allen was ordered to return the horse within one month, if it was sound and well. If it was not, Greeley was to recover £5 in corn or neat cattle.

| 387 | Ancestor to President James Abram GARFIELD, President William Howard TAFT, President George Herbert Walker BUSH —— Thomas and his family came to America in 1635 on the ship "Marygould". They are listed on a passenger list as embarking from Weymouth, England. A deposition made Nov 2, 1666 by Thomas, states he is age 77 years and the company arrived at Dorchester, Jun 7, 1635: he was at Dorchester for about a fortnight then he moved to Weymouth where he built a house. Left Weymouth, England 30 Mar 1635 at age 34 in the Marygold with wife and oldest five children, arriving at Dorchester on 7 Jun 1635 and settling at Weymouth the same month. His will, dated 31 Dec 1668 with codicil 31 Dec 1673, and proved 24 Apr 1677, Weymouth, MA, names wife Jane, three sons, three married daughters, and grandchildren John, Peter and William Holbrook. Freeman 1645. A selectman at Weymouth six times (1641-1654), and a grantee of Rehoboth, MA, although he forfeited the grant and remained at Weymouth. ----- In compiling records for the Great Migration project, the editors discovered there were in fact two Thomas Holbrooks settled in Dorchester. This one was in Weymouth consistantly, while another one purchased land in Dorchester in 1649, sold it in 1652 (transactions attributed to this Thomas by Pope), bought other land “about three miles from Naticke” in 1652, and is linked in deeds in 1656, 1668 and 1672 as being of Medfield and then Sherborn by 1682. | HOLBROOK, Thomas (I2681)

| 388 | Ancestor to President John ADAMS & President John Quincy ADAMS John married Elizabeth Thompson (1594-1676) daughter of Rev. William Thompson, the Vicar of Westbury Parish, Wiltshire for 20 years (1603-1623) and Phyllis maiden name unknown on 10 September 1615, according to the parish records. His parents died soon after John married Elizabeth and he inherited: "The Mylls called Ripond, situate within the Parish of Frome Selwood". His occupation was manufacturing woolen fabric, broadcloths and kerseymeres. He had a very good reputation for a fine product. He is sometimes called a London merchant but that is because he probably had a commission house there, as it would have been the largest market for his product. —— He died on 29 November 1669 in Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts Bay Colony at the age of 77. He died intestate and the administration of his estate was granted to his wife Elizabeth on 29 March 1670. He was honored with a five mile long funeral procession and buried in the Old North Graveyard, also known as Highland, Cowles-Highland, Cowles Memorial, Highland-Cowles, Old Burying Hill, in Ipswich, Massachusetts. His wife is there beside him, but the graves are now unmarked. | COGSWELL, John (I43425)

| 390 | Ancestor to President Lesli Lynch “Gerald” FORD —— Mr Gove was known to have a forceful nature, to be quite frank, or even blunt. He did not hesitate to avenge himself if he felt he'd been wronged. This caused him to appear in court several times for "forceful language and personal assault." He was fined in 1673 for abusing Nathaniel Weare, also of Hampton, and calling him a thief. He was made a freeman 4 December 1678 and represented New Hampshire in the first assembly in 1680. Due to the forcefulness of his personality, he was selected to lead a rebellion against the governor, Edward Cranfield. There were land and other disputes. Basically, the governor was sent to New Hampshire to "enforce" a supposed old land patent from 1622, that would revert a quarter of New Hampshire's lands and parts of Maine, so that those now living there would be forced to pay rents to the English Crown. The rebellion was rushed and all wound up captured. Mr. Gove was sentenced to be hanged, drawn, and quartered, and was imprisoned in the Tower of London for treason. He eventually was pardoned, after three years, by Charles II and returned to New Hampshire; his lands to be restored. | GOVE, Capt Edward (I33844)

| 395 | Ancestor to President Stephen Grover CLEVELAND —— Made a will in Exeter, Rockingham Co, NH, 24 Nov 1715, proved 6 Dec 1715. —— A Genealogy of the Folsom Family by John Chapman. Dea. John Folsom was a man of high standing and good property, active both in church and in political affairs. He is among the worthies of the first centuries of Exeter, of whom Judge Smith, in his centennial address, July 4, 1838. says that "they filled acceptably the municipal and public offices conferred upon them." He was frequently sent to the general assembly. ?In the first volume of "Provincial Papers," already quoted with reference to his father, there is a deposition (pp. 554-7) from the son, as constable, bearing date 1684, "that he had received a list of names in Exeter, with fines annexed, amounting to 50£; that he was required by the Governor & council to go & demand the sum; but the people refused to pay, saying the taxes should be raised by the General Assembly, which answer he gave to Gov. & council : whereupon they took the scroll out of his hands & delivered it to Thos. Thurton, provost marshall, & he was ordered by a warrant from the Secretary to aid the said Thurton." ?This summary treatment was honorable to him from such a government as that of Cranfield's, and shows how "acceptably," at least to the people if not to the party in power, he filled that special office of constable by forbearing to push the demand for oppressive and unconstitutional taxes and fines. The following quotation from the same portion of the "Provincial Papers" will show the sort of " aid" he gave to the provost marshal, and that he could turn with wrath and contempt on the public foes, deacon though he was. Under date of December 29, 1684, there is a deposition of this Thurton, that "being sent to collect those fines, and one of 50 shillings on John Foulsham for neglecting the duty of his office as constable, Foulsham told him that if he came to levy execution at his house, he should meet him with a red-hot spit and scalding water ; and bade him go, like a rogue as he was." The women of the Gilman family must also have some of the fame of this affair; for the provost marshal adds, that "being at the house of Edward Gilman [s/o the first Edward, and lost at sea abt. 1653] the wife of James Gilman [grands/o the first Edward, b. 1659] told him she had provided a kettle of scalding water for him, if he should come." He thought it rather rough treatment, especially as no money had yet been demanded of them. In one instance, in which Dea. John's wife had been slandered by his sister-in-law Hannah, wife of his brother Nathaniel, he was determined the offender should smart for it ; and accordingly, making complaint before Mr. Commissioner Dalton, he obtained sentence against her that she should "make acknowledgment at some public town-meeting." —— WILL OF DEA.
