That was after he served in the closing years of the Civil War, enlisting in the 37th New Jersey Volunteers, 10t h Army. —— Waldron and Elizabeth were married by a Rev. Nelson Rulison in New York. Their first three children were born in New York while the remainder were born in Titusville, PA where Waldron was the city clerk for 30 years. They moved there between 1875 and 1879 (NYGBR). —— Waldron was graduated at the Brooklyn Academy, and studied law in the office of R and R M Ingraham, Brooklyn, NY, in May 1867, enlisted at 18 in the 37th NJ Volunteers, 10th Army Corps, in 1864, served until discharged at the end of the war. For 30 years he was City Clerk of Titusville., | DAME, Waldron Moore (I1991)
|
| 6135 | Walter Carlton was the first of the family to leave the old homestead, for which he had such an affection that he returned to Beeford for the christening of his first two children (and most fortunately, since the early Hornsea register is lost). It may be imagined that his ability immediately commended him to the Gibbon family. In the year following his marriage he was joined with the mother of his very young wife in the administration of the estate of Peter Gibbon, who had died probably just about the time of his daughter's marriage to Walter. A similar expression of confidence is to be seen twelve years later, when he was named supervisor in the will of his wife's stepfather, William Ombler. In his various land transactions, as evidenced by the fines and by the Hornsea Survey of 1608, he was associated with the Gibbon inheritance. In his will, dated 15 Mar. 1622, but not proved until 1626, it may he inferred that Walter Carlton's most important lands (in Great Hatfield, probably part of the Gibbon estate) went to his son Edward. It may be noted that the Widow Margery Gibbon had also held "Shirewater," given to his daughter Anne, in 1608. This same property, "Sherewater," was in the custody of Walter Carlton in 1610, when his cattle broke out of a pasture there, and put him under the necessity of paying a small fine, together with his brother-in-law, William Day. This is the only appearance of the Carleton name in the local court rolls during a period of fifteen years.

Administration on the goods of the same deceased was granted to Robert Moore and William North, coexecutors named in the will, being previously sworn. Inventory above 40 pounds. (York, Act Book, Holderness Deanery, 1626.) [:ITAL] Mrs. Jane (Gibbon) Carlton presumably had to sacrifice her house and land in Hornsea Burton when she married again, 23 Jan. 1626, at Hornsea, William Birkell, Jr., of Mappleton. She probably took the younger children there with her, though Edward Carlton reMed in Hornsea until 1629 at least. The loss of Hornsea and Mappleton registers precludes tracing her further. King's Court, Westminster. 9 James I (1611/12) in Octaves of Hilary. Walter Carlton and wife, Jane, and their heirs, quitclaim land toThomas Hornbye, consisting of 1 messuage, 30 acres of land, 10 acres of meadow, 10 acres of pasture, and common pasture for all beasts in Hornsey (Hornsea), in Holderness, for the sum of 41 pounds.

| 6136 | Walter de Burgh was 2nd Lord of Connaught and 1st Earl of Ulster (after its restoration), the second son of Richard Mor de Burgh and Egidia de Lacy. He founded Athassel Priory. Walter was succeeded by his eldest son, Richard Og de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster (The Red Earl of Ulster). Other children: Theobald William Thomas Egidia who married Sir James STEWART (1243-1309), High Steward of Scotland | DE BURGH, Sir Walter (I43278)

| 6137 | Walter Deane sailed on the ship “Speedwell” from England to Plymouth Colony on 22 April 1637. He apparently brought six servants with him. He became a freeman of Plymouth Colony on Dec 4 1638. | DEANE, Walter (I38692)
|
| 6138 | Walter married Elizabeth Prickett, baptized at Kendal 19 March 159 2, daughter of William Prickett of Natland. They had four sons and four daughters, set forth in Sir William Dugdale's Visitation of Yorkshire, 1666 (Publications of the Surtees Society, vol. 36, 1859). Probably some descendant of this family placed in Kendal church the modern memorial window to the Chamber family, but we have been unable to locate such descendants. | CHAMBER, Walter (I37281)
|
| 6139 | Walter Strickland, born 5 Apr. 1516, died 8 March 1569, was the eldest son and heir of Sir Walter Strickland and Katherine Neville. His marital affairs are not entirely clear. On 8 March 1535, while under age, he was contracted to marry Margaret Hamerton, daughter of Sir Stephen Hamerton, but there is no record of the marriage ever taking place, and it is said that Margaret took her own life a few days before the expected marriage. In records of 1537, Walter is mentioned as having a wife, Agnes. It is entirely possible that Agnes is the same as Ann, a younger daughter of Sir Stephen Hamerton, and she may also be the mother of Ellen, since Ellen and John named their first child Ann. Whatever the name and identity of the mother, Walter recognized Ellen as his "natural daughter" and made provision for her in his will. Ellen also apparently lived with her father in Sizergh Castle. Walter married ca. 1560/1, Alice (Tempest) Place, widow of Christopher Place, Yorkshire. After Walter's death, Alice married Sir Thomas Boynton. It was during the time that Walter and Alice (Tempest) Strickland lived in the castle that all the Elizabethan part was built and paneling installed. Alice reMed at Sizergh Castle after the death of Walter and her marriage to Sir Thomas Boynton to Look after the young Strickland children. Being a lady of great taste, she was responsible for much of the paneling and other 16th Century ornamentation. After Sir Thomas Boynton's death, Alice moved to Yorkshire and here the marriage of Ellen to John Carleton took place. Alice also made provision in her will for Ellen Strickland, daughter of her deceased husband, Walter. Sizergh castle still stands and is in good condition. It was given in 1950 to the National Trust and is open for tours. The present Strickland family lives in one wing of the castle. Re: The castle The unusual name of Sizergh, originates from the Scandinavian occupation in the ninth or tenth centuries. Anciently spelt Sigaritherge, Siritherde, Sigrittserh and other variations; the first element represents a personal name, Sigarith, being often met with as the feminine form of Sigred, Sigar or Siric. The second element erg denotes a summer pasture or dairy farm. | STRICKLAND, Walter Esq (I43965)

| 6144 | Was a distinguished and successful military officer. He commanded a company in the unfortunate Cuban expedition in 1740, and was colonel in the expedition to Nova Scotia in 1755. Was general and commander-in-chief at Fort William Henry on Lake George in 1756 during the French and Indian War. His obituary refers to him as "General", although in the administration of his will in June of 1776 referred to John Winslow "of Hingham, reduced Captain in Colonel William Shirley's 1st Regiment of Foot". He was also a councillor of the Province. His surviving children apparently removed to Nova Scotia, as he had renounced during the Revolution. John, soldier, born in Plymouth, Massachusetts, 27 May, 1702; died in Hingham, Massachusetts, 17 April, 1774. with the exception of Sir William Pepperell, was the most distinguished military leader in New England at that period. The council appointed him, on 14 August, 1740, captain of the company that was raised in Boston to serve in the expedition against Cuba. He went as a commissioner in 1752 to Fort St. George, Maine, to adjust territorial and other disputes with the Indians. While a major-general of militia and captain in the British army in 1755, he was directed by Governor William Shirley, who was advised by Governor Lawrence, of Nova Scotia, to proceed to that province to remove the Acadians. The most responsible persons for the manner in which that act was accomplished appear to have been Lawrence and his council, and Admirals Boscawen and Moysteyn. Winslow acted under written and positive instructions, and he said to the Acadians, before reading the decree, that it was "very disagreeable to his natural temper and make," but that it was not his business to "animadvert, but to obey such orders as he should receive." The following year he took the field with about 8,000 men to serve against the French. Receiving from Governor Hardy, of New York, in July, a commission as major-general and commander-in-chief, he established himself at Fort William Henry on Lake George" but Montcalm, fearing to risk the encounter, turned aside to capture Oswego. That general then returned to Canada, and the army of Winslow to Massachusetts. He served again as major-general against the French in the expedition of 1758-9 to the Kennebec. In 1762 he was appointed chief justice of the court of common pleas in Plymouth county, He participated as a commissioner in the first effort that was made to solve the vexed question--Which is the true river St. Croix?--in determining the easterly line of Maine with James Otis and William Brattle, in 1762. During the stamp-act troubles he was a councillor of the province in the legislature, and was associated on various occasions with Samuel Adams and others in preparing documents upon that controversy. The town of Winslow in Maine was named, in 1771, in his honor. His house in Plymouth is still standing, and in Pilgrim Hall are his sword and a portrait of him in military dress. | WINSLOW, Gen John (I13211)

In 1778 he was proscribed a traitor and banished from Massachusetts. After the war, in April 1783, he took his family to Nova Scotia where they remained two years, then moved to New Brunswick to take up land granted by the British Crown for his war service.

|
| 6155 | Was born into the House of Wittelsbach as the eldest daughter of Duke Stephen III of Bavaria-Ingolstadt and Taddea Visconti of Milan. She became Queen of France when she married King Charles VI in 1385. At age 15 or 16, Isabeau was sent to France on approval to the young French king; the couple wed three days after their first meeting. Isabeau was honored in 1389 with a lavish coronation ceremony and entry into Paris. In 1392 Charles suffered the first attack of what was to become a lifelong and progressive mental illness, resulting in periodic withdrawal from government. The episodes occurred with increasing frequency, leaving a court both divided by political factions and steeped in social extravagances. A 1393 masque for one of Isabeau's ladies-in-waiting—an event later known as Bal des Ardents—ended in disaster with the King almost burning to death. Although the King demanded Isabeau's removal from his presence during his illness, he consistently allowed her to act on his behalf. In this way she became regent to the Dauphin of France (heir apparent), and sat on the regency council, allowing far more power than was usual for a medieval queen. Charles' illness created a power vacuum that eventually led to the Armagnac–Burgundian Civil War between supporters of his brother, Louis of Orléans and the royal dukes of Burgundy. Isabeau shifted allegiances as she chose the most favorable paths for the heir to the throne. When she followed the Armagnacs, the Burgundians accused her of adultery with Louis of Orléans; when she sided with the Burgundians the Armagnacs removed her from Paris and she was imprisoned. In 1407 John the Fearless assassinated Orléans, sparking hostilities between the factions. The war ended soon after Isabeau's eldest son, Charles, had John the Fearless assassinated in 1419—an act that saw him disinherited. Isabeau attended the 1420 signing of the Treaty of Troyes, which decided that the English king should inherit the French crown after the death of her husband, Charles VI. She lived in English-occupied Paris until her death in 1435. Isabeau was popularly seen as a spendthrift and irresponsible philanderess. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries historians re-examined the extensive chronicles of her lifetime, concluding that many elements of her reputation were unearned and stemmed from factionalism and propaganda. | WITTELSBACH, Queen Isabelle (I40288)

Henry married Matilda of Scotland but continued to have a large number of mistresses by whom he had many illegitimate children. —— Henry campaigned throughout the autumn, strengthening the southern frontier, and then travelled to Lyons-la-Forêt in November to enjoy some hunting, still apparently healthy. There Henry fell ill – according to the chronicler Henry of Huntingdon, he ate a number of lampreys against his physician's advice – and his condition worsened over the course of a week. Once the condition appeared terminal, Henry gave confession and summoned Archbishop Hugh of Amiens, who was joined by Robert of Gloucester and other members of the court. In accordance with custom, preparations were made to settle Henry's outstanding debts and to revoke outstanding sentences of forfeiture. The King died on 1 December 1135, and his corpse was taken to Rouen accompanied by the barons, where it was embalmed; his entrails were buried locally at Port-du-Salut Abbey, and the preserved body was taken on to England, where it was interred at Reading Abbey. —— Henry and his first wife, Matilda, had at least two legitimate children: 1. Matilda, born in 1102, died 1167. 2. William Adelin, born in 1103, died 1120. 3. Possibly Richard, who, if he existed, died young. Henry and his second wife, Adeliza, had no children. —— His older brothers, Robert Curthose and William Rufus, inherited Normandy and England, respectively, leaving Henry landless. William died in a hunting accident (where Henry was present), and Henry then seized the English throne. Henry then invaded Normandy, defeated Robert, and imprisoned him for the rest of his life. —— Said to be a harsh but effective ruler. | BEAUCLERC, King Henry I (I43657)

| 6194 | When a group of Indians attacked Friendship in May 1758, while pounding corn, the Bradfords missed hearing the garrison's alarm shots from a nearby garrison. Joshua, Hannah, and their infant son Winslow were killed. Two boys were taken to Canada by the Indians but eventually escaped and returned to Meduncook [Friendship]. The other 5 children escaped. ——- "The Boston News Letter" of June 1, 1758, quotes from a letter dated May 22, 1758, to wit: "They (the Indians) killed and scalped Mr. Bradford, his wife and Mr. Mills' wife and killed her children. Two of Mr Bradford's boys they carried off prisoners, wounded one of his daughters and a boy of Mills dangerously." Joshua Bradford was grinding corn outside that morning and did not hear the warning shots. Since he had earlier that winter saved the life of the the Chief when he was drowning, Joshua did not fear the local Indians. Sarah hid with one of her younger siblings, but two of her brothers were taken captive and brought into Canada. It is said that many years later the two boys returned to the family, but did not like living with them and returned to the Indian Villages that they had been raised in. It is also said that their daughter Melatiah had hid under the bed with her brother, Elisha. when Elisha cried, she crept out and dashed toward the fort. The Indians saw her as they were leaving and started in pursuit. One gave her an ugly wound which was supposed to have severed two lower ribs from the spine. A soldier from the fort where the other children had taken refuge, succeeded in rescuing her. —— According to the family legend from the Bradford Family of Charlotte Co. (New Brunswick) and Washington Co. (Maine), there was a terrible event that occurred at Friendship, Maine in the late 1750s. The area was then called "Meduncook" but was later changed to "Friendship" because of the horrible association the former name had with the Native people of Maine. "Friendship" signified a new beginning to the people of Maine and gave closure on this unfortunate event. The story, according to oral legend, is that Joshua Bradford, a great-grandson of Gov. William Bradford of Plymouth, Massachusetts, was brutally murdered at the hands of Indians while living at Friendship. A few years prior to this event, Joshua, along with his wife Hannah, settled the area after leaving the area of Plymouth. Sometime in a winter, during these earlier years, Joshua saved a man who had fallen through the ice, that man was actually a local Penobscot Indian chief. The two men formed a friendship. During the settlement of Friendship, the British erected a garrison on a small island in the harbor, just off the point from where the Bradford family had their homestead. The island was accessible to the mainland by foot when the tide was low. Early in the morning of May 22, 1758, a group of Indians, not from the area, proceeded to Friendship. On route to attack the garrison via the point, they came across the homestead of Joshua Bradford. Seeing the approaching Indians and believing that they were of the same tribe as the Chief that he befriended, Joshua did not take heed of the alarm shots coming from the British Garrison. Most settlers in that area were living safely at the Garrison for some time. The Indians attacked Joshua, killing him and his wife Hannah. Some suggest that they were brutally scalped! One of the Bradford children, an infant son (Winslow), was also killed as was another local woman (Mrs. Mill) and her child. The other Bradford children hid in the homestead. One daughter (Melatiah Lydia) hid under the bed with a younger brother (Elisha). When the young child cried, she took him and made a dash for the Garrison. The Indians gave chase and succeeded in striking her in the back with a tomahawk. She managed to continue to the Garrison where she and the younger child were escorted to safety. She survived her wounds. Witnessing these events, the men of the Garrison took up arms and went out to rescue to the Bradford family. Before fleeing, the Indians took two of the Bradford boys (Joshua, Jr and Benjamin) with them. The surviving Bradford children were recovered and taken to the Garrison. The Indians took the two Bradford boys and continued to move north. Some say that they boys were taken as far north into what is now the Canadian border area of St. Croix and Downeast Maine. The boys were given little to eat by their captors and left to gather their own food. On one occasion, the boys were caught stealing bread from a settler's homestead. After convincing the settlers that they were prisoners of Indians, they were given a map to get them back to Meduncook and so they fled back along the coastline of Maine, eventually returning after being held by the Indians for some time. The wounded daughter (Lydia) eventually married and raised a large family in Vermont. The two boys that were taken captive also went on to raise large families. Joshua Jr. married and raised his family in the area of Friendship. Benjamin moved to Canada with the British Loyalist in the 1780s. He settled outside of the town of St. Andrews, Charlotte Co., New Brunswick and had at least eight children. The younger Bradford children were sent to family in Plymouth Co., Massachusetts. Those that were killed at this event were buried on the island. With the passage of time, their headstones were lost (likely used as ballast in a ship). As well, the remnants of the Garrison slowly vanished. For decades, local Indians refused to travel to the area. Garrison Island is now privately owned by the Carlson family. http://www.heritagecharlotte.com/bradford/massacreatfriendship.html —— Joshua Bradford, s/o Israel, born June 23, 1710, married Hannah, daughter of Elisha Bradford and his wife Hannah (Cole), and who was half-sister to the mother of the famous “Deb (Bradford) Sampson” who under the feigned name, Robert Shurtleff, served three years as a private soldier in the army of the Revolution, and was badly wounded in the skirmish at Tarrytown, carrying in her body the bullet through life. Joshua Bradford removed from Kingston to what later became Friendship, Maine, and was there killed by the Indians May 27, 1756, and their children carried to Canada, where they remained in captivity until Quebec was taken by General Wolfe; they then returned to the Maine home. | BRADFORD, Joshua (I40539)

II On March 11, 1863, at the age of 16, he enlisted into the U.S. Army, Territory of Nebraska. The enlistment reads; "I, Adolphus D.L. Orcutt born in Lewis, in the State of Kentucky, aged 18 years, and by occupation a farmer, do hereby acknowledge to have volunteered this 11 Day of March, 1863, to serve as a soldier in the army of the United States of America."

Mary Ann died in 1882, and in 1885 Adolphus married Adaline Hodge, the daugter of Alvin Hodge, a Creek Indian Judge. A.D. and 2nd wife Adaline Hodge Orcutt had eleven children together also, thus A.D. was the father to 22 children total. The Dawes Act of 1887 was legislation to enroll the Creek Indian people and document the degree of each tribe member's Creek "blood". The completion of this process was done in 1898, and each member was allotted 160 acres. Some of the members had to give up their large plantations, while other members were allotted much more land. Col. A.D. Orcutt's family consisted of eight enrolled children and his wife, Adaline. The large family obtained 1,440 acres of land which was in an area southeast of Tulsa, OK. Col. Orcutt built a house near Coweta, Indian Territory, and was responsible for establishing the first school in Coweta, as well as being the founder and publisher of the newspaper, the Coweta Courier. In addition he was instrumental in bringing the railroad to Coweta. Col. Orcutt was a charter member of the Lucius Fairchild Post, G.A.R. of Tulsa, also a member of the Masonic Fraternity, and The Independent Order of the Odd Fellows. His interest were vast, from organizations, to receiving a grant from the Dutch to investigate the possibility of starting a colony in Honduras for the purpose of logging mahogany timber. Col. A.D. Orcutt was the postmaster of Coweta, and because of his blemish free reputation and his giving ways to the community was elected to the First State Legislature, representing Wagoner County. When Oklahoma become a State in 1907 Col. Orcutt was one of 18 Republicans who were sent to Guthrie, the Capital of the new state, and served the one term of 1907-1908. Col A.D. Orcutt died in 1913 while on a visit to see his brothers,"Labe" and "Coll", at Estilline in the Texas Panhandle. 1. Source unknown, but appears to be of a history book. Has picture andthe following remarks: A. D. Orcutt, 1872. Orcutt, was a pioneer rancher and farmer of the Tulsa area. He suggested the name, "TULSA" for the little Indian Creek Nation village, and he helped lay out the first street and founded one of the first hardware stores. Swan Lake was once known as Orcutt Lake. It was built by Orcutt as a watering pond for his large herd of cattle. A. D. Orcutt founded the town of Coweta and he was a member of the first State Legislature in 1907 when the Indian Territory became the State of Oklahoma. | ORCUTT, Col Adolphus De Lorraine (I18383)

Fourteen years after the terrible trials, Ann Putman admitted that she had lied and apologized for the part she had played in the witch trials in 1706. http://www.legendsofamerica.com/ma-salemafflicted3.html —-- "I desire to be humbled before God for that sad and humbling providence that befell my father's family in the year about '92; that I, then being in my childhood, should, by such a providence of God, be made an instrument for the accusing of several persons of a grievous crime, whereby their lives were taken away from them, whom now I have just grounds and good reason to believe they were innocent persons; and that it was a great delusion of Satan that deceived me in that sad time, whereby I justly fear I have been instrumental, with others, though ignorantly and unwittingly, to bring upon myself and this land the guilt of innocent blood; though what was said or done by me against any person I can truly and uprightly say, before God and man, I did it not out of any anger, malice, or ill-will to any person, for I had no such thing against one of them; but what I did was ignorantly, being deluded by Satan. And particularly, as I was a chief instrument of accusing of Goodwife Nurse and her two sisters, I desire to lie in the dust, and to be humbled for it, in that I was a cause, with others, of so sad a calamity to them and their families; for which cause I desire to lie in the dust, and earnestly beg forgiveness of God, and from all those unto whom I have given just cause of sorrow and offense, whose relations were taken away or accused." | PUTNAM, Ann (I40433)

By 1638 Richard Goodale had settled in Newbury where the Abraham Toppans were living and where Mrs. Elizabeth Goodale arrived, so far as we know, at about the same time. Presumably they came together. He brought with him his wife Dorothy and two children, who, judging from evidence had been born before 1625. Soon after his arrival Richard must have moved across the Merrimac river to the new town first called Colchester and later Salisbury where he was an original grantee and commoner and the recipient of further grants in 1639, 1643, and 1654. He is called planter and turner. He was a member of the Norfolk grand jury in 1652 and 1654. Tradition says that he was a great hunter. He had an Irish servant, Cornelius Conner. Richard's will was proved on 9 October 1666. All his goods, housings, lands, orchards, pastures, meadow, either marsh or upland, plow land and any other land and cattle he left to be equally divided between his son Richard Goodell and his daughter Allen, with some exceptions. To his granddaughter Hubberd, a cow named Primrose. To Cornelius Conner, formerly his servant, all his wearing apparel, both linen and woolen. Executor: his son Richard. Overseers: loving brethren (in the church sense) Edward French, John Wheelright, Joseph Stower. From the inventory it appears that Goodale had let his house to Joseph Lancaster and gone to live with his daughter Ann Allen. There was due to her husband, William Allen, payment for "diet and attendance", at 10s. a week from the 3rd of May to the 16th of September 1666. Also there was an uncertain amount due to the estate from the lessee of "the barq." With the aid of the overseers the property was divided between Richard Goodale the younger and William Allen on 4 December 1666. —— RICHARD, Newbury 1638, was from Yarmouth, Co. Norf. rem. to Salisbury, among first sett. 1639 or 40; had w. Dorothy, wh. d. 27 Jan. 1665; ch. Ann, wh. m. William [p.271] Allen; and Richard of Boston. He d. 166, says Coffin. The same writer gives in his list Eliz. G. also from Yarmouth, wh. d. 8 Apr. 1647, at Newbury, hav. ch. Susanna, wh. m. Abraham Toppan; and Joanna m. John Oliver, both bef. 1644. I presume she was his mo. A wid. Mary G. d. at Salisbury 3 May 1683. | GOODALE, Richard (I31713)

| 6200 | When John II came to power, France was facing several disasters: the Black Death, which caused the death of nearly half of its population; popular revolts known as Jacqueries; free companies of routiers who plundered the country; and English aggression that resulted in disastrous military losses, including the Battle of Poitiers of 1356, in which John was captured. While John was a prisoner in London, his son Charles became regent and faced several rebellions, which he overcame. To liberate his father, he concluded the Treaty of Brétigny (1360), by which France lost many territories and paid an enormous ransom. In an exchange of hostages, including his son Louis, John was released from captivity to raise funds for his ransom. Upon his return in France, he created the franc to stabilize the currency and tried to get rid of the free companies by sending them to a crusade, but Pope Innocent VI died shortly before their meeting in Avignon. When John was informed that Louis had escaped from captivity, he voluntarily returned to England, where he died in 1364. He was succeeded by his son Charles V. | DE VALOIS, King Jean II (I40406)
