| 6201 | When Jonathan died, his widow Betsey m. soon Moses Rowell, of Gilmanton, and their grandfather, Abraham Folsom took charge of the two small children & brought them up in his family, and gave them a share in his estate. | FOLSOM, Jonathan (I11816)
|
| 6202 | When Roger was about a year old, he came to the New World from England in 1635 with his parents, Roger and Margaret, and settled in Plymouth. Tragically, Roger Sr. passed away a few years later. The widowed Margaret Toothaker married Ralph Hill, and the family subsequently relocated to Woburn before finally reaching Billerica by 1653, establishing themselves as some of the earliest settlers in the area. Hill was even granted a sizable tract of land. Roger received land from his stepfather, situated "on the east side of the Concord River, below the great bridge." His dwelling stood as one of the northernmost homes in Billerica, quite distant from the town's center. On June 9, 1665, Roger married Mary Allen of Andover, and over the next 18 years, the couple welcomed eight children into the world, although three did not survive to adulthood. Roger’s occupation is unknown, but records related to the Salem witch trials refer to him as a Doctor, and Roger was known to discuss his knowledge of natural healing arts. During the precarious and dangerous late 17th century, Roger was arrested on May 18, just ten days before his sister-in-law, Martha Carrier. His wife Mary (Martha's sister) and nine-year-old daughter Margaret were also included in the same complaint as Martha. Although accused and jailed, Roger never faced a trial; he passed away in Boston jail on June 16. The subsequent coroner's inquest determined that he died of natural causes. The jails were cold, damp, and full of disease. He could have died from anything. —— Roger & Mary had nine children born between 1666 and 1683, but he apparently had trouble supporting them. In 1682-83, he was brought before the selectmen and "spoken unto concerning many things amiss in his family." In 1684, he was living in Salem, Massachusetts, although his wife and children remained in Billerica. On December 15, 1684, the selectmen sent him a letter asking him to come for his family. Apparently he did not respond so the town aided his wife and "bound out" two of his children. This meant that the children went to live with another family for a time, as servants, to pay off debts through their labor. Roger practiced as a doctor, although he must have been self-taught. He was living in Salem without his wife and family in 1692 during the witch scare. He was brought before the court on May 20, 1692: "The Deposition of Thomas Gage Aged aboute thirty six years This deponent saith & doth testifie that sometime this Last spring of ye year, that Doctor Toothaker was in his house in Beuerly (upon some occasion) & was discoursed about John Marstons Childe of Salem that was then sick and having unwonted fits and Likewise another Childe of Philip Whites of Beverly who was then strangely sick. I persuaded said Toothaker to goe and see said Children and said Toothaker answered he had seen them both already and his opinion was that they were under an Evill hand And farther said Toothaker said that his Daughter had killed a witch and I asked him how she did it and said Toothaker answered readily that his daughter had learned something from him..." | TOOTHAKER, Roger (I47259)

| 6203 | When the family came to America on the Mayflower in 1620. Jonathan stayed behind in Holland with his first wife. However when she and their infant son died, Jonathan came to America in 1621 on the ship Fortune, joining his parents, William and Mary, at Plymouth Colony. | BREWSTER, Jonathan (I18523)

|
| 6205 | When William and Dorothy decided to make the voyage to America in 1620 on the Mayflower, they left behind their son John in Leiden, presumably with the intention of sending for him as soon as the colony was built and more stable and suitable for a young child. | BRADFORD, Lt John (I40570)
|
| 6206 | When William died of TB in May 1885 he only left the family $8. When his debts were finally settled, the family moved back east to Lawrence, Massachusetts. | FROST, William Prescott (I4690)
|
| 6207 | While in England, they had four children – Samuel Jr., Margaret, Hester (or Esther), and Lydia. About 1636, they sailed to America where they had four more – James, Judah, Mary and Helped. | STRATTON, Margaret (I46297)

| 6208 | While Jacob and Content Hamblen were buried in this cemetery, the land for which he had donated to the town, their original markers are no longer present. This stone, the largest in the cemetery, is likely a late 19th century replacement by descendants. In the mid-19th century Jacob's original marker stood near the northeast corner of the cemetery. It read "In memory of Mr. Jacob Hamblen, who Died June 3rd 1774, Aged 72 Yrs." Content married one James Miller after Jacob's death and it is possible that she was buried with him though neither of their stones is now present. Jacob was among the founders of Gorham. He was living there by 1743 and remained throughout the Indian War of 1745. He kept a tavern and "house of entertainment" from 1757 until the time of his death in 1774. —— The following is recorded about Content (Hamblen) (Hamblen) Miller in McLellan's 1903 "History of Gorham," pp. 533-534: "Mrs Hamblen in her day was a famous comber of wool for the purpose of making worsted. Few of the present generation have ever seen this operation of combing wool on the old-fashioned ketchel, or flax comb, laying the fibers all one way, straight and smooth, and winding it into balls in order to spin it on the small, or flax wheel, into very fine thread. In an old account book we find Mrs. Hamblen has credit for combing worsted, five shillings, and for one cabbage plants, two shillings. At this time there were no factories, and imported cloth was rare and expensive. Every household was expected to manufacture its own cloth and clothing, and the lady who came to the possession of a worsted gown, colored with dye made from the bark of trees or roots of the forest, and manufactured by her own hand, had a treasure of which she was deservedly proud, and was thought to be well dressed. In our notices of the early settlers of Gorham it is possible we may sometimes not do them justice in relation to their religion and piety. In those days matters of neglect and dereliction were subject to penalties of the civil law, and we fear sometimes conscience had but little to do in those matters. But in speaking of old Mrs. Content, the wife of Mr. Jacob Hamblen, from what we have heard of the old lady we are inclined to believe her conscientious in some things. She made it strictly the rule of her house, for herself and every member of her family, to attend all the meetings on the Sabbath day, or keep close within doors. Fast and feast days were rigidly observed according to law and the ordinances of the church. No person within her house was allowed to eat a morsel of food on fast days between early morning and evening, if she could prevent it. Even the cattle within her barns had to come under the rule; they were fed the night before, and allowed no more till the day had passed, and consequently were allowed an abundance of feed on Thanksgiving day. Whether the old lady was one of those who believed that all dumb animals would be found on their knees at twelve o'clock on Christmas eve, in thanksgiving for the birth of the Savior, we cannot say; nevertheless it was once the current belief of the day, and some there be at this time who are unwilling to give it up. Of the children of Jacob and Content Hamblen, there is no record. They had two sons, Joseph and Daniel. Tabitha, who married Samuel Crocket, Jr, of Gorham (published Feb. 2, 1771), is believed to have been their daughter. Mrs. Content Hamblen, the widow of Jacob, married, Mar. 1, 1780, Mr. James Miller, from Cape Elizabeth. She lived with her husband Miller, in a house which stood in the Alexander McLellan garden, directly back of what is now the Joseph Ridlon store. In an old record kept by the Rev. Caleb Jewett, we find that "Mr. Miller died May 16, 1787." After his death Mrs. Miller lived alone in her house for several years, and was held as a fortune teller. She was often visited by the young people to learn their future destiny. Of her decease there is no record, but we conclude that she died about the year 1790, certainly before 1800." | HAMLIN, Content (I4405)

| 6209 | While Louis VIII only briefly reigned as king of France, he was an active leader in his years as crown prince. During the First Barons' War of 1215-17 against King John of England, his military prowess earned him the epithet the Lion. After his victory at the Battle of Roche-au-Moine in 1214, he invaded southern England and was proclaimed "King of England" by rebellious barons in London on the 2 June 1216. He was never crowned, however, and renounced his claim after being excommunicated and repelled.[1][2][3][4] In 1217, Louis started the conquest of Guyenne, leaving only a small region around Bordeaux to Henry III of England. Louis's short reign was marked by an intervention using royal forces into the Albigensian Crusade in southern France that decisively moved the conflict towards a conclusion. He died in 1226 and was succeeded by his son Louis IX. | CAPET, King Louis VIII (I40318)

| 6210 | While technically married to Stephen Batchelder (he had moved to England), Mary heroically attempted to live her life by starting a relationship with Thomas HANSCOM (Hansom) in another part of New England (Connecticut). A local woman recognized her and switched to the authorities, and the relationship was quashed. "June 29, 1654 Wee present Thomas Hunsscome and Mary Batchelder the wife of Mr. Batcheller for frequently comeing togeather, after sufficient warneing given them by some of the Graynd Jurie... Tho: Hunescome and Mary Batcheller do bind them selves In a bond of 20 li not to come frequently or unseasonably togeather or suspitiously, upon the forfeiture thereof. This bond was acknowledged by them before the Court by whome they are with an Admonition Sett free paiing 10s. to the officers." (Province and Court Records of Maine- Vol.1, p.164) Mary Batchelder was quite notorious in the area. Her husband was the Rev. Stephen Batchelder who was in his 80's at this time. Mary was only in her late 20's and was evidently tired of living with an old man for besides her relationship with Thomas she was convicted of adultery with George Rogers. http://www.geocities.ws/mainegenie1/HANSCOM.htm Thomas Hanscom had many run-ins with the courts - mostly as a consequence of his violent temper. His mother, Tamson, apparently had a temper of her own and was accused of beating Thomas with a broom handle. His children were also frequently in trouble. Mary was better off without him. —— In October, 1656, Mary Beetle Bachiler petitioned the Court, in the following words, to free her from her husband, Rev. Stephen Bachiler: To the Honored Governor, Deputy Governor, with the Magistrates and Deputies at the General Court at Boston: The humble petition of Mary Bachelor sheweth--Whereas your petitioner, having formerly lived with Mr. Stephen Bachelor, a minister of this Collany, as his lawfull wife, and not unknown to divers of you, as I conceive, and the said Mr. Bachelor, upon some pretended ends of his owne, hath transported himself unto ould England, for many yeares since, and betaken himself to another wife, as your petitioner hath often been credibly informed, and there continueth, whereby your petitioner is left destitute, not only of a guide to her and her children, but also made uncapable thereby of disposing herselfe in the way of marriage to any other, without a lawful permission; and having now two children upon her hands, that are chargeable unto her, in regard to a disease God hath been pleased to lay upon them both, which is not easily curable, and so weakening her estate in prosecuting the means of cure, that she is not able longer to subsist, without utter ruining her estate, or exposing herself to the common charity of others; which your petitioner is loth to put herself upon, if it may be lawfully avoided, as is well known to all, or most part of her neighbors. And were she free from her engagement to Mr. Bachelor, might probably soe dispose of herselfe, as that she might obtain a meet helpe to assist her to procure such means for her livelyhood, and the recovery of her children's health, as might keep them from perishing; which your petitioner, to her great grief, is much afraid of, if not timely prevented. Your petitioner's humble request therefore is, that this Honored Court would be pleased seriously to consider her condition, for matter of her relief in her freedom from the said Mr. Bachelor, and that she may be at liberty to dispose of herselfe in respect of any engagement to him, as in your wisdomes shall seem most expedient; and your petitioner shall humbly pray. MARY BACHELER. | BAILY, Mary Magdalene (I626)

| 6211 | While there is much conjecture about Robert's wife, the leading candidate is Marsaili MacGillEion b.839-932, daughter of a Scottish warlord and head of a large mercenary navy. They had two sons, in addition to several speculated daughters whose existence or identity as Robert's daughters cannot be definitively shown: Odo of France, King of Western Francia Robert I of France, King of Western Francia. | MACGILLEION, Marsaili (I40312)
|
| 6212 | While Martha (Doane) Harding who died in Plymouth in 1638 obviously was married to a man named Harding, no evidence has been found that establishes his name or otherwise identifies him. In the profile for Martha (Doane) Harding of Plymouth in Robert Charles Anderson's 1995 Volume II of Great Migration Begins, (1) the first name of Martha's husband was left blank, indicating that Anderson and his team found no reliable evidence as to what his name was, and (2) Anderson stated that Martha's husband probably died before Martha sailed for New England. | DOANE, Martha (I42875)

| 6253 | William Cecil was interested in genealogy and there is a contemporary pedigree in existence attributing to the Cecils a descent from Sitselt, or Sitsell, who in 1091 received lands in Wales from Robert FitzHamon. This pedigree is traced through the Sitsilts (or Sitsylts) of Altyrennes, Co. Hereford. English statesman, the chief advisor of Queen Elizabeth I for most of her reign, twice Secretary of State (1550–1553 and 1558–1572) and Lord High Treasurer from 1572. Albert Pollard wrote, "From 1558 for forty years the biography of Cecil is almost indistinguishable from that of Elizabeth and from the history of England." —— In 1547 the office of Custos Brevium in the Court of Common Pleas, the reversion to which his father had obtained some years before, fell in, and Cecil found himself independant. About the same time he was appointed Master of Requests by Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset, Uncle of Edward VI. This office entailed on Cecil the duty of private secretary and advisor to the Duke, then Protector of the Realm during the minority of the boy King. He was present at the Battle of Pinkie on 10 Sep, 1547, when the Scots suffered a severe defeat; it is said that Cecil narrowly escaped with life at this battle. Mildred, daughter of Sir Anthony Cooke of Gidea Hall On 13 Oct 1549 he was sent with Somerset to the Tower, but was released under a bond for a thousand marks. The date of his enlargement was 25 Jan 1549/50 (old style). In Oct 1551 he was knighted and in Apr 1552 he was appointed Chancellor of the Order of the Garter. After the fall of Somerset Cecil became a member of the Privy Council and he was an unwilling signatory to the instrument which sought to disinherit the sisters of Edward VI, Mary and Elizabeth. He protested against the plot of John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, to transfer the crown from the Tudor Dynasty to his own House, which he hoped to effect by the marriage of Lady Jane Grey to his son, Lord Guildford Dudley. | CECIL, Lord William (I10071)

| 6254 | William changed his surname from William Galbraith Cobb to William Gustavis Carr, purportedly because he had deserted from the Union Army. It is reported that he reenlisted under the name of Carr. There are too many soldiers with these names to verify. | CARR, William Gustavis (I16512)

| 6255 | William Cole of Sudbury married Catalina, or Catherine, daughter of Ferdinando de Gallegos, a Spaniard of noble extraction, and had two sons, of whom the elder, Robert, married Anna, daughter of Cooke of Kersey, in Suffolk, and died 8. p, ; and the second, Roger, was, in 1623, of the parish of St. Saviour's, in Southwark, in the co. of Surrey, gent. ; he married Anne daughter of Edward Maisters of Rotherhithe, in Surrey, by whom he had issue, 1 Roger, 2 Roger, 3 John, who all died young, Elizabeth, married to William Oland of London, Susanna married to William Locke of Merton, in Surrey, Anne and Catalina.

|
| 6256 | William de Beauchamp, 9th Earl of Warwick (1237–1298) was an English nobleman and soldier, described as a “vigorous and innovative military commander”. He was active in the field against the Welsh for many years, and at the end of his life campaigned against the Scots. His father was William de Beauchamp of Elmley Castle, his mother, Isabel Mauduit, sister and heiress of William Mauduit, 8th Earl of Warwick. He had a sister, Sarah, who married Richard De Talbot. He married Maud FitzJohn. Their children included: * Isabella de Beauchamp[8], married firstly, Sir Patrick de Chaworth and, secondly, Hugh le Despenser, Earl of Winchester * Guy de Beauchamp, 10th Earl of Warwick, who married Alice de Toeni, widow of Thomas de Leyburne —— Occupied Warwick Castle (originally built by William the Conqueror) and installed the first windows to face the river. | BEAUCHAMP, Earl William (I43355)
|
| 6257 | William de Braose's eldest son, William, although captured in hiding with his mother and starved to death in 1210, had fathered four sons. They were John, Giles, Phillip and Walter and although they were also held imprisoned they were granted release in 1218. John, the eldest, was said to have been brought up in secret, on Gower, by a Welsh ally or retainer. On release he came under the care of his uncle Giles de Braose. John made a claim to being rightful heir of the de Braose lands and titles and although the courts did not find for him, his other uncle Reginald de Braose was able to cede by a legal convention the Baronies of both Gower and Bramber to him for a fee. This established the junior branch of the dynasty in its own right and further positioned the dynasty for survival at worst and at best opportunity, continued future power and influence. | DE BRAOSE, William (I35187)
|
| 6258 | William de Braose, 1st Lord of Bramber had been rewarded with a Barony and lands in Sussex and the Welsh Marches of Wales. Philip was born about 1070 to 1073 in Bramber, his mother being Agnes de St. Clare (born 1048 to 1054) (died 1080) of Barnstaple in Devon. Philip's task as heir was to consolidate these lands and expand them wherever possible. In 1096 he confirmed his father's gifts to the Abbey of St. Florent. Through marriage to Aenor, daughter of Juhel of Totnes or Totenais (born 1084) he also acquired land in Totnes, Devon and held this valuable Lordship also. It was Philip de Braose who conquered the Welsh borderlands at Builth and New Radnor and established new Norman Lordships over them as a Marcher Lord. He seems to have gone on the First Crusade in 1103. He was responsible for the building of St. Nicolas' Church, Old Shoreham in Sussex and founded the port at New Shoreham. He supported King Henry I of England against Robert Curthose and then in 1110 revolted against King Henry I of England who confiscated his estates as a result. He regained his Lordships and his lands in 1112 and was thereafter able to retain them, in 1130 passing them intact to his eldest son in turn, named William de Braose, 3rd Lord of Bramber. He also fathered a second son, also called Philip and two daughters, Basilia and Gillian. It is thought that he died between 1131 and 1139, possibly 1134 on a crusade in the Holy Land.«s76» | DE BRAOSE, Sir Philip (I35200)

| 6259 | William de Braose, 4th Lord of Bramber (1144/1153 – 9 August 1211), court favourite of King John of England, at the peak of his power, was also Lord of Gower, Abergavenny, Brecknock, Builth, Radnor, Kington, Limerick, Glamorgan, Skenfrith, Briouze in Normandy, Grosmont, and White Castle. In 1175, William de Braose carried out the Abergavenny Massacre, luring three Welsh princes and other Welsh leaders to their deaths. His principal antagonist was a Seisyll ap Dyfnwal, of Castell Arnallt near Llanover in the valley of the River Usk near Abergavenny, whom he blamed for the death of his uncle Henry. After having invited the Welsh leaders to a Christmas feast at Abergavenny Castle under the pretence of peace and the start of a new era at the end of the year (a traditional time for settling outstanding differences amongst the Welsh), he had them murdered by his men. This resulted in great hostility against him among the Welsh, who named him the "Ogre of Abergavenny". Gerald of Wales exonerates him and emphasises the religious piety of de Braose and his wife and de Braose generosity to the priories of Abergavenny and Brecon. William de Braose did however reputedly hunt down and kill Seisyll ap Dyfnwal's surviving son, Cadwaladr, a boy of seven. In 1192 William de Braose was made Sheriff of Hereford, a post he held until 1199. In 1196 he was made Justice Itinerant for Staffordshire. In 1195 he accompanied King Richard I of England to Normandy and in 1199, William de Braose fought beside Richard at Chalus, where the king was mortally wounded. He then supported King John's claim to the throne of England, supported the new king in making various royal grants and was in attendance with John in Normandy at the time of Arthur of Brittany's death in 1203. Arthur was John's nephew and was seen by many as the rightful heir to the English throne. De Braose served in the war of 1204 against King Philip II of France in France. He was greatly favoured by King John early in his reign. John granted him all that he might conquer from the Welsh in Radnorshire, gave him lordship over Limerick in Ireland (save for the city itself), possession of Glamorgan castle, and the Lordship of Gower with its several castles. In 1203, William de Braose was put in charge of Arthur of Brittany, whom he had personally captured the previous year at the Battle of Mirabeau. William was suspected of involvement in Arthur's disappearance and death, although no concrete evidence ever came to light. There is somewhat better evidence that he at least knew the truth of the matter. In 1206 King John gave William de Braose the three great neighbouring trilateral castles of Gwent (Skenfrith Castle, Grosmont Castle, and White Castle). These have been interpreted as bribes encouraging silence on the demise of Arthur, seen by many as a rightful heir to the throne occupied by John of England. At this point only an earldom separated him from the greatest in England. But soon after this William de Braose fell out of favour with King John of England. The precise reasons remain obscure. King John cited overdue monies that de Braose owed the Crown from his estates. But the King's actions went far beyond what would be necessary to recover the debt. He distrained de Braose's English estates in Sussex and Devon and sent a force to invade Wales to seize the de Braose domains there. Beyond that, he sought de Braose's wife Maud who, the story goes, had made no secret of her belief that King John had murdered Arthur of Brittany. Gerald of Wales describes Maud de St. Valery, as a 'prudent and chaste woman' who bore her husband three sons William, Giles and Reginald de Braose. De Braose fled to Ireland, then returned to Wales as King John had him hunted in Ireland. In Wales, William allied himself to the Welsh Prince Llywelyn the Great and helped him in rebellion against King John. In 1210, William de Braose fled Wales in disguise as a beggar, to France. His wife and eldest son were captured, and he died the following year in August 1211 at Corbeil, France. He is buried in the Abbey of St. Victor in Paris by a fellow exile and vociferous opponent of John of England, Stephen Langton, the Archbishop of Canterbury. His hopes to return alive to Wales and a burial in Brecon were to be unfulfilled. William's wife, Maud, and eldest son, William, once captured were murdered by King John, possibly starved to death incarcerated in Windsor Castle and Corfe Castle in 1210. While William had aroused the jealousy of the other Barons during his rise, the arbitrary and violent manner of his fall very likely discomfited them and played a role in the Baronial uprisings of the next decade. The historian Sidney Painter, in his biography of King John, called it "the greatest mistake John made during his reign, as the King revealed to his Barons once and for all his capacity for cruelty". | DE BRAOSE, Lord William (I35183)

| 6260 | William de Braose, First Lord of Bramber born 1049 in Briouze, Normandy (today part of the Argentan Arrondissement in the region of Basse-Normandie). (d. 1093/1096) was a Norman nobleman who participated in the victory at the Battle of Hastings over King Harold Godwinson in support of William the Conqueror as he and his followers invaded and controlled Saxon England. His name at this early stage would have been Guillaume de Briouze. De Braose was given lands in Sussex, England at Bramber in 1073, where he was lord of the Rape of Bramber and where he built Bramber Castle. De Braose was also awarded lands in the Welsh Marches, and became one of the most powerful of the new Lords of the early Norman era. He continued to bear arms alongside King William in campaigns in England, Normandy and Maine in France. He was a pious man and made considerable grants to the Abbey of St, Florent, Samur and to endow the formation of a Priory at Sele, West Sussex near Bramber and a Priory at Briouze. He was soon installed in a new Norman castle at Bramber, to guard the strategically important harbour at Steyning and so began a vigorous boundary dispute and power tussle with the monks from Fécamp, in Normandy to whom King William I had granted Steyning, brought to a head by the Domesday Book, completed in 1086. It found that de Braose had built a bridge at Bramber and demanded tolls from ships travelling further along the river to the busy port at Steyning. The monks also challenged Bramber's right to bury people in the churchyard of William de Braose's new church of Saint Nicholas, and demanded the burial fees for themselves, despite it being built to serve the castle not the town. The monks then produced forged documents to defend their position and were unhappy with the failure of their claim on Hastings, which were very similar. The monks claimed the same freedoms and land tenure in Hastings as King Edward had given them at Steyning. Though on a technicality William was bound to uphold all aspects of the status quo before Edward's death, the monks had already been expelled 10 years before that death. King William wanted to hold Hastings for himself for strategic reasons and ignored the problem until 1085, when he confirmed their Steyning claims but swapped the Hastings claim for land in the manor of Bury (near Pulborough in Sussex). In 1086 the King William called his sons, Barons and Bishops to court (the last time an English king presided personally, with his full court, to decide a matter of law) to settle this. It took a full day, and the Abbey won over the baron, forcing William de Braose to curtail his bridge tolls, give up various encroachments onto the Abbey's lands, including a farmed rabbit warren, a park, eighteen burgage plots, a causeway, and a channel to fill his moat, and organise a mass exhumation and transfer of all Bramber's dead to the churchyard of Saint Cuthman's Church in Steyning. —— Built Bramber Castle. William De Braose, 1st feudal baron, constructed the castle in about 1070, including a Norman church, on a natural mound. Most of the surviving masonry dates from this time. Except for a period of confiscation during the reign of King John (1199–1216), Bramber Castle remained in the ownership of the de Braose family until the male line died out in 1326. Little is known of Bramber Castle's history. Records dating from the Civil War mention a 'skirmish' fought in the village in about 1642. The church suffered badly as a result of Roundhead guns being set up in the transepts, where they afforded a better vantage point to fire on Bramber Castle. | DE BRAOSE, William (I35205)

| 6276 | William was born in 1617 in Ormsby, Norfolk, England. He was the son of John Moulton and Mary Smith. In April 1637, William came to America. He came from Ormsby with the family of Robert Page. He was a "minor, 20 years of age" at the time. He was examined on April 11, 1637 before leaving England. William sailed aboard either the "Rose" of Yarmouth, or the "John and Dorothy" of Ipswich. The two ships sailed together and both were commanded by William Andrew and his son. In the shipping records, William is listed as a servant to Robert Page and family. The group landed at Boston and from there, they went to Newbury, Massachusetts. A little over a year later William went with the Pages when they moved to Winnacunnett, now Hampton, New Hampshire in 1639. This was when the town was first settled. Thomas and John Moulton were also among the first settlers of Hampton. There is some evidence that these men were William's brothers. All three Moultons built houses on the same street. John Moulton, his wife and five children had sailed to America on the same ship as William. Also, aboard was a Mary Moulton, a 30 year old "wydow". William traveled to America as the servant of Robert Page. At the time, Page and his wife had three children. Margaret Page was the middle child and was 7 when they came to America. William and Margaret married about 1645, probably in Hampton, New Hampshire. He was 28, and she was about 15. They had eight children; Joseph 1646, Benjamin 1648, Hannah 1652, Mary 1654, Sarah 1656, Ruth 1659, Robert 1661, and William 1664. All the children were born in Hampton. William received land in Hampton in the land divisions of 1645. He was elected a Selectman in 1649, 1653 and again in 1658. He was made a freeman in October 1654. William died in April 1664 in Hampton. He was only 47 years old. He made his will about a month before his death. It was proved in October 1664. Even though he had come to America as a servant, William did well in the twenty years before he died, and left a large estate. When he died, Margaret was 8 months pregnant and their last child was born after his death. The baby was a boy and named William. Margaret remained a widow for seven years. In 1671 she married John Sanborn and probably moved to Essex, Massachusetts. (William Moulton that was born after William's death, became a famous silversmith in New England and founded the "Towle" Company.

| 6278 | William wrote extensively about his experiences during the war in “From The Rapidan To Richmond And The Spottsylvania Campaign: A Sketch In Personal Narration Of The Scenes A Soldier Saw “ Following is an excerpt: “I went into service at the very start. Was made 1st Lieutenant of a company of boys in Danville, Va – my home: This company – the oldest of which – even boys of 17 years of age offered their services to the Government for the war. Which offer was refused on account of the youth of the boys comprising it. The company was then broken up & most of its members – all who were allowed – join other organizations. I then – having been to a military school was detailed for a time to drill raw volunteers: Then I served a little time in the 38th Va. Infantry Reg: was then transferred to a Cavalry Company – which we intended as a “body guard & special couriers for Genl Lee” – as this was a little slow in materializing – I then was transferred to the 1st Richmond Howitzers Artillery of the A. N. Va -- & served in this Battery through the war, being surrendered at Appomattox. My Battery was in all the operations of the Army of Northern Virginia & I was never absent from my gun – in battle – save once & then I was desperately ill – at home – with typhoid fever – And I am sorry that I was absent that once. I didn’t mean [to] do it & I’ll never do it again.” —— William Meade Dame (1844-1923) was born in Virginia, the s/o George Washington Dame (1812-1895). He attended the Danville Military Academy and in 1862 at the outbreak of the American Civil War enlisted, at age 17, in the 1st Company of the Richmond Howitzers. After the war he attended the Virginia Theological Seminary and served several parishes in Virginia. In 1869 he married Susan Meade Funsten. Moving to Baltimore in 1878 he was rector at the Episcopal Memorial Church where he remained for 45 years, until his death in 1923. —— Biography from “Baltimore Its History and Its People” Pub by Lewis Historical Publishing Co, New York, Chicago: 1912. ed by Arunuah Shepherdson ABell. WILLIAM MEADE DAME That the influence of the church is declining is a remark frequently made by those who lack the discernment to perceive that, while creeds and outward observances are undoubtedly losing their hold upon the world-atlarge, there is convincing evidence that the essentials of religion are daily becoming more deeply rooted in the heart of mankind. By reas/o its breadth of view and liberality of sentiment the Protestant Episcopal church is peculiarly fitted to exercise influence at the present time especially when its representatives are such men as Dr. William Meade Dame, who has been for more than thirty-three years rector of the Memorial (Protestant Episcopal^ Church of Baltimore. On the paternal side the ancestors of Dr. Dame came from Cheshire, England, John Dame settling in Dover, New Hampshire, in 1633. At what period one or more of his descendants emigrated to Virginia, we are not informed. On the maternal side Dr. Dame is descended from John Page, of Middlesex, England, who came to the colonies in 1650, establishing his home in Williamsburg, Virginia, and also from Thomas Nelson, "of York," who came from Penrith, Cumberland county, England, in 1700, and settled in Yorktown, Virginia. Among the ancestors of Dr. Dame may be mentioned: William Nelson (1711-72), president of the Council of the Colony of Virginia; Thomas Nelson (1738-89), signer of the Declaration of Independence, governor of Virginia and major-general of the American army; and Carter Page, a distinguished soldier in the Revolutionary War. Dr. George Washington Dame, father of Dr. William Meade Dame, was a prominent clergyman of the Protestant Episcopal church, and for the remarkably long period of fifty-six years was rector of Camden parish, Danville, Virginia. He was at one time Professor of Latin in HampdenSidney College, and for several years held the office of superintendent of public schools in Pittsylvania county, Virginia. He was a man of "dauntless energy, gift for teaching, utter unselfishness and great charity toward all men." He married Mary Maria, daughter of Major Carter Page, of "The Fork," Cumberland county, Virginia, and his wife, Lucy (Nelson) Page. William Meade Dame, s/o George Washington and Mary Maria (Page) Dame, was born December 17, 1844, at Danville, Virginia, and as a boy, living on the outskirts of a small town, was able to enjoy to the full fishing, riding and hunting. He showed even then that fondness for history, especially the early history of his own country, which in later life became with him a favorite line of study and reading. The influence of his mother on his intellectual and spiritual life was marked and strong, while the genial companionship to which he was admitted by his father was a no less powerful factor in his development. He studied at the Danville Male Academy and afterward at the Danville Military Academy. Homer, Caesar, the history of the Revolutionary and Mexican wars, and the novels of Fenimore Cooper and of Marryat were his favorite reading at this period of his life. In 1861, though only in his seventeenth year, he became a private volunteer in the Confederate army of Virginia, serving in the first company of Richmond Howitzers until the surrender at Appomattox. Of his decision to be a minister he writes: "In the last two months of the war, in the trenches at Petersburg, came to me the definite purpose, born of the feeling that as God had saved my life and health through the dangers of a long and bloody war, I was bound to that line of duty for life which would most entirely serve Him. My own choice made me a soldier, and after the war a worker; the example, the training and the prayers of my parents, and the Spirit of God made me a minister." From 1866 to 1869 he pursued his studies at the Theological Seminary of Virginia. From 1869 to 1870 he was deacon in charge of the Protestant Episcopal Church of Haymarket, Virginia, and from 1870 to 1874 was rector of St. John's parish, Loudoun, Fauquier county, Virginia. For the next two years he served as rector of St. Luke's, at Norfolk, Virginia, and in 1876 he became rector of the historic Old Christ Church, at Alexandria, Virginia. After two years there he was invited to Baltimore and in 1878 became rector of the Memorial Church. For thirty-three years he has been identified, not only with the work of his own parish and with the councils and the business of the Protestant Episcopal church, but with all that is best in the religious and social life of Baltimore. He is a man without pretense, thoroughly genuine, free from small importances, a characteristic of smaller minds, and wholly absorbed in his work. When in 1903 the Memorial Church celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of his rectorship, not only the clergy of the Protestant Episcopal church in his own state, and many visitors from other cities and states, took part in the observance, but the city of Baltimore showed in many ways its warm appreciation of the minister who for a quarter of a century had done such faithful parish work. These twenty-five years showed an increase of communicants from two hundred to nine hundred and three, a Sunday school of six hundred, with a separate building, and such social and religious auxiliaries in the church work as the Girls' Friendly Society, the Woman's Auxiliary, the Junior Auxiliary, a Men's Club, the Church Aid Society, the Junior Brotherhood of St. Andrew, the Brotherhood of St. Andrew and a number of other kindred organizations. Congratulations from former students, from members of the parishes which he had served in earlier years, and from church papers and periodicals throughout the South were received in large numbers and were most gratifying to the friends of Dr. Dame. A man of deeply embedded convictions as to right and duty, and as true to such convictions as is the magnetic needle to the pole, abounding in sympathy with the sorrowing, a man of broad views, large faith and a great heart, such is Dr. Dame. His style of speaking is original and a deep earnestness and sincerity pervade his utterances and carry conviction with them. In 1893 St. John's College at Annapolis, Maryland, conferred upon Dr. Dame the degree of Doctor of Divinity. He has been claimed for the special service of chaplain by many societies, notably the Confederate Society in Maryland (since 1878), the Fifth Regiment of the Maryland National Guard (commissioned in 1890), the Sons of the Revolution and the Daughters of the Revolution in Maryland, since their organization. He has been a member of the standing committee of the Diocese of Maryland for the last twelve years, and is now the president of the standing committee. In 1901-04-07-10 he was a deputy from Maryland to the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States. Dr. Dame is a Master Mason, a Royal Arch Mason and a Knight Templar, and he is chaplain of these orders. He is identified politically with the Democratic party, and in answer to a question as to whether he had ever changed his political allegiance, has been known to reply, "Never changed—mind still sound!" While his favorite indoor amusement is chess, Dr. Dame has always been somewhat of an athlete. He has done a good deal of systematic work in the gymnasium, is still a good shot in the field, marches and camps with his regiment, the Fifth Maryland, and rides the wheel vigorously. He says, "I do the visiting in a large congregation of nine hundred communicants, a task worthy of an A-i athlete, as I declare, who am a judge, having practically tried almost all other forms of athletics!" Dr. Dame married, September 30, 1869, Susan Meade, daughter of David and Susan (Meade) Funsten, the former colonel of the Eleventh Virginia Infantry, Confederate States Army, and member of the Confederate Congress for Virginia. Dr. Dame and his wife have had five children, four of whom are living. Their son, the Rev. William Page Dame, is now associate rector with his father. Mrs. Dame is a woman of culture and charm, winning the warm friendship of all who are brought within the sphere of her influence, and performing with tact and grace the many and exacting duties which devolve upon the wife of a clergyman who presides over a large city parish. Dr. Dame is a man of strong personality and of imposing presence. Absolutely without fear, he has never hesitated to denounce what he believed to be wrong and to uphold what he believed to be right, and has always given his influence to those interests which promote culture, works for the Christianizing of the race and recognizes the common brotherhood of man. His ripe and varied experience, his judicial mind and his careful observation have rendered him the trusted counselor of his people at all times and in all phases of their lives. Young and old seek him alike to settle doubts and disputes, to adjust differences and to effect reconciliations. A life which has allied itself to the lives of so many others by genial friendship and kindly service has won for the man who has lived it the right to be listened to with exceptional interest when he offers suggestions which may be helpful in attaining true success. "Don't put the blame for your failure on God, or on other men and women, but on yourself. Pick your flint and try again, learn wisdom from past mistakes, and you will surely 'get there' and do the work and fill the place in the world that is really meant for you." Although Dr. Dame is by descent, by birth, by his student training and by his early pastoral work, a Virginian, so thoroughly have the last thirty-three years identified him with all the best interests of Baltimore that Baltimoreans claim him as their own, and it is the sincere wish, not of his parishioners alone, but of all his fellow-citizens, that his rectorship may, like his father's exceed the half-century limit, and that his golden jubilee may be celebrated in the Monumental City. | DAME, Rev William Meade (I1617)

| 6280 | William's third son, Reginald de Braose reacquired his father's lands and titles for himself through simply seizing them back by force following the death of Giles. Reginald did not actually come to terms with the Crown until 1217 and the new, young King Henry III of England, after the death of King John. This in turn aroused the anger of Llywelyn the Great who had an understanding with Giles de Braose and the seeming duplicity caused the Welsh to attack de Braose lands in Brecon and Abergavenny and Gower. Abergavenny Castle had to be rebuilt as a result. Reginald de Braose died in 1228.«s76» | DE BRAOSE, Lord Reginald (I35175)

| 6281 | WILLIAM, b. abt. 1488; succeeded to the manor of Hodyford and other lands under the will of his father. Child: 1. Agnes, mentioned in her grandfather's will in 1530. | HATCHE, William (I47163)
|
| 6282 | William, born probably in Hornsea about 1617 (aged six years at the time of his father's death [Inquisition post mortem]), died in 1639. The express statement in the inquisition taken after the death of Walter Carlton, that William "is his son and heir," at first occasioned some perplexity. It is, however, readily explained by a careful reading of the will and inquisition together: the half of a house and five bovates or ox gangs of freehold land (approximately 75 acres) in Hornsea Burton given to William by the will is the same property as that mentioned in the inquisition, and was the only land held of the King in capite, and therefore the only land to be considered by the jurors, who understood that William was the heir to this particular property, and made their report accordingly. William evidently preferred a seafaring life to farming, and "being about to take a voyage into New England" in May 1639, made a nuncupative will, proved the following August, administration being granted to his brother Thomas. "His sister Thomasin," to whom he bequeathed a gold ring, was possibly the wife of his brother Thomas, but more probably his half sister, daughter of his mother by her second husband, named after her sister, Thomasine (Gibbon), wife of William Day. The bequest of another ring to "my mother" indicates that Jane (Gibbon) (Carlton) Birkell was still living at this time. This projected voyage of William Carlton to follow his brother Edward to New England furnishes additional confirmation that Edward is placed in the right family. The nuncupative Will of WILLIAM CARLETON of Hull, 1639. Memorandum that William Carleton of Kingston upon Hull within the Dioces of Yorke, mariner, about the tenth day of May last, being about to take a voyage into New England, he being then pr'sent in the shopp of one Cuthbert Prestwood in Kingston upon Hull, did give unto Thomas Carleton his brother the remainder of xxx owing to him by Robert Whiteing of Hornsea Burton in Holderness in the County of Yorke, husbandman, after xxx thereof paid to Lancelot Truslove, draper, and vijli to Cuthbert Prestwood, Mercer, Lancelott Truslove and Cuthbert Prestwood being then present, and he did then use such speeches, That they did verely conceive and doe believe that Willm Carleton's intencon was to make the said Thomas his executor, and they have seene a note or letter whereunto Willm Carleton is subscribed and written to his Sister Thomasin, and which they verely believe to be his hand, wherein these words are written That I have spoke to my brother Thomas Carleton; if that it please God to call me before I see you againe to buy you a gold ring, and my mother another gold ring about Twenty Shillings price, and of this as above are Witnesses: Lancelott Truslove, Cuthbert Prestwood. Proved 29 August1639; administration granted to Thomas Carlton brother of the deceased. (York Probate Registry, Filed will.) The Carleton family belonged to the class of small gentry on the edge of yeomanry. They held positions of responsibility and prominence in their various communities, and Edward, the immigrant to America, was called "Mr." --a title not given to everyone. Various records show that considerable land was held by men of this name both in England and America. | CARLETON, William (I37259)

| 6283 | William, John’s son by Matilda, had died two years previously, by a peculiar quirk of English law, Sir John was succeeded in his estates - of Foxley (Bray) and East Court (Finchampstead) in Berkshire, Bramshill in Hampshire, Apuldrefield (Cudham) in Kent and Rumboldswyke in Sussex - by his eldest illegitimate son, Thomas, who was designated 'bastard aisné.' His eldest legitimate heir, Katherine, the wife John Warbleton of Sherfield-upon-Loddon (Hampshire) and Warbleton (Sussex), could not have been best pleased however and there were major land disputes in later generations. http://www.berkshirehistory.com/bios/jfoxley.html | DE FOXLEY, Katherine (I40480)

| 6284 | WILLIAM, mentioned in the will of his brother John Carleton. He is perhaps the William Carleton who had two daughters, Ann and Elizabeth, baptized in Preston in 1581 and 1585, respectively, and possibly alsothe William Carleton of Coniston on whose estate administration wasgranted to his relict Alice Carleton 14 Apr. 1608. Possibly belonging to one of these families was a certain William Carleton of Kingston-upon-Hull, whose family is recorded in the parish register of Holy Trinity Church, but who cannot be definitely placedin this pedigree. | CARLETON, William (I37266)

I give and devise to my wife, Elizabeth Cicell, all my Negroes, household furniture, tobacco, horses, cattle, pigs and all of my personal estate. After her death, or marriage, the same to be equally divided between all my children. My wife, Elizabeth, to be Executrix. Is/ John (X) Cecil, Jr. 4 Jul 1757" (Greenup, Witten, Cecil, page 230) ELIZABETH SOLLERS, wife of (C-l) JOHN CECIL, was the daughter of JOHN SOLLERS, one of the early immigrants into Maryland. John Sollers is believed to have come from Clouester, England, as he was mentioned in the will of Anthony Salvvay in 1672. Mr. Salway died in Anne Arundel County between 23 Oct 1668 when his will was written and 23 Aug 1672 when it was proven. One of the first wills to be recorded in the Maryland Land Office was that of John Sollers who is listed in the "Landed Gentry of Maryland". His wife is believed to have been ANN SABRETT from a French Huguenot family. (Greenup, Witten, Cecil, page 295) | SOLLERS, Elizabeth (I4216)

| 6288 | Winslow Lewis (1770-1850) was a sea captain, engineer, inventor and contractor active in the construction of many American lighthouses during the first half of the nineteenth century. A resident of Wellfleet, Massachusetts, Lewis began developing his ideas during the embargo of American shipping during the Napoleonic wars. He created a new lighting system based on Argand lamps; in 1812 the United States Congress purchased his patent rights for the system. In so doing, it awarded him a contract to equip all American lighthouses with the lamps. The fitting took four years; afterwards, Lewis won another contract, this one allowing him to supply oil to all the stations, and to visit them yearly to ensure their smooth operation. Lewis soon branched out into contracting work, winning bids to build new lighthouses around the country. When Stephen Pleasonton took over the responsibility for these contracts in 1820, he formed an alliance with Lewis, who was soon being awarded most lighthouse construction deals in the United States. While demand for the towers was high, funds were short, and Pleasonton took great pride in the fact that Lewis was able to do cheap, fast work. Lewis soon had a set of standard plans drawn up to meet demand; these plotted out five different sizes of lighthouses, at 25, 30, 40, 50, and 65 feet high. Many such towers were built; most were made of brick, but a few were constructed of stone. But Lewis knew little about proper engineering practices, and most of the lighthouses were either poorly constructed, or they were too short. Most had to be replaced; only a handful survive today. Little is known of Lewis' later career. His nephew, I. W. P. Lewis, was also a lighthouse builder and engineer.«s76 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winslow_Lewis» | LEWIS, Winslow (I13588)
