Notes for William Wright Terrell:

William Wright Terrell was a steamfitter, buried College Hill Cem., DeKalb, TX. He lived for a time with his uncle, David A. Cobb, Jr. and was a farmhand (as was his brother, David) for the 1880 census.

Children of William Terrell and Mary Atchley are:

4. Edward Young Terrell, born Abt. 1837 in MS; died Abt. 1867 in Little River Co., AR. He was the son of 8. Thomas Terral and 9. Elizabeth <Unknown>. He married 5. Susan J. Cobb 02 Jul 1857 in Drew Co, AR.

5. Susan J. Cobb, born Abt. 1838 in NC; died Abt. 1885 in Little River Co., AR. She was the daughter of 10. David Allen 'Davie' Cobb and 11. Elizabeth Wilson.

Children of Edward Terrell and Susan Cobb are:

6. Seth Land Atchley, born 20 Sep 1839 in Sevier Co., TN; died 23 Nov 1886 in Sheridan, Grant, AR. He was the son of 12. Amos Russell Atchley and 13. Angelina B. Trotter. He married 7. Malissa Ann McClung 16 Feb 1868 in Jefferson Co., AR.

Notes for Seth Land Atchley:

Seth was a cabinet maker. He was a soldier in the Confederate Army under the command of Captain Telford Ware; he was wounded in the Battle of Shiloh and lived only a few years after the war was over. He kept a diary of his military service and engagements. He served in Co. A, 11th Infantry of Arkansas.

Notes for Malissa Ann McClung:

Sometimes called Melissa Jackson by descendants. The cemetery record (but not her grave!) indicates her presumed maiden name. She was said to have been born in Donequal, Ireland. Another Melissa buried nearby, named Melissa Brumbelow, was born 1846 and died 13 Nov 1921.

Researchers of the McClung family think that this women was actually Malissa McClung, daughter of David L. McClung and Mary Harrison. The marriage record, reproduced below, leads me to that conclusion as well. The middle initial of "Seth ... Atchley", often transcribed as "S", appears to be an "L" in the script of the clerk.

This is to certify that I, Calvin M. Gentry, a … ordained minister of the gospel of the Methodist Denomination, my credentials being duly accredited … church … of Jefferson County and … solemnize the rights of matrimony between Seth L Atchley and Malissa Ann McClung each of Jefferson County Arkansas each of … full age on the 16th day of February 1868.

Given under my hand this the 24 day of February 1868

11. Elizabeth Wilson, born 1815 in Duplin Co., NC; died 1866 in Little River Co., AR. She was the daughter of 22. <Unknown> Wilson.

Notes for David Allen 'Davie' Cobb:

David Cobb was living in Faison, NC and moved from ther to Arkansas in 1859, moving first to Drew Co., where he purchased two sections of land. Within two years, he had moved to Little River Co., just west of Ashdown, AR. (December, 1861).

"Two of Davie's boys were Zack and Dave, ages 16 yrs. and 14 yrs., respectively. Like all boys of that age they were full of adventurous spirit, and went exploring in the new neighborhood. In talking with some neighbors, they told of their father having $12.00 in gold. A Mr. Henry Daniel, hearing about all that gold, payed Mr. D.A. Cobb a visit and while there, he mentioned that he would like to sell part of his land, which he claimed was some of the finest in South West Arkansas. When Davie asked what he wanted for it, Mr. Daniel, looking as innocent and reliable as Henry Daniel could, replied that he thought a very reasonable price would be $12.00 in gold. Davie Cobb's eyes were about as wide open as they were the night they left Drew Co., Arkansas. However, there was no other alternative as he could not continue to live in a covered wagon with growing youngsters. The land was purchased and the two boys, who had such exploring minds, began to help building a three room log cabin. They felled trees and cleared ground to grow food crops.

"In a pen outside the chimney corner, they kept young pigs so as to protect them from the bear which were so plentiful then. There was a post hole that could be opened to watch and fire a gun, if need be. Even so, one night while everyone was asleep, a bear succeeded in getting one of the pigs.

"Most of the time, some member of the family remained at home to watch and care for their livestock. One Sunday afternoon while the rest of the family was out visiting, Davie was reading and enjoying a good warm fire, when he observed his fattening hogs were disturbed. He opened the post hole near the fire board and who should he see but Henry Daniels and his half brother driving the winter supply of meat away. Now if you are a Cobb, you know something about their determination. The best policy in a case like of this kind would be to put a stop to this once and for all. Davie poked his old muzzle loading shot gun through the post hole and let her sound -- not to kill, just to retrieve his supply of winter meat."

by Margaret Cobb Daniel.

David A. Cobb was listed as a Confederate soldier from Little River Co. Ark.

While the following D. A. Cobb is known to be a different person than our ancestor, he may be related:

Found on the internet on the family of James Sterling Green:

In 1831 a number of people in the Conasauga community, McMinn County, Tennessee, met at the home of David A. Cobb (or Cobbs) and organized the Mount Carmel Congregation (Church - Cumberland Presbyterian) denomination. The two leaders were D.A. Cobb and James S. GREEN.

http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/l/e/d/Michele-H-Ledoux/index.html

The only "southern" Cobb / Allen marriage located by the writer that may fit is of Caroline Co., VA and Matthew Cobb m Lucy Allen. No connection known. Several Massachusetts lines have marriages of both surnames in the right period.

A suggestion that David Cobb, Jr. who d 1817 in NC may be the father of this man.

Notes for Mary Harrison:

Mary married 2nd John Walker, after her husband died during the Civil War.

1870 census, Darysaw Twp., Grant Co., AR

A son was named Middleton McClung. An earlier family included John Harrison who married Sarah Middleton 22 Dec 1795 in Wake Co., NC, who also had a son named Middleton Harrison and whose descendants resided in Madison Co., AL. The ancestry of this family has been documented for several generations.

One John Harrison was b 1792 and resided in Limestone Co., AL and died 26 Feb 1876 in Hamilton Co., IL. He married Elizabeth McClung 17 Sep 1818 in Athens, Limestone, AL. John was said by some to be the son of Gideon Harrison b 1762 in Rockingham Co., VA and d Sep 1838 in Murfreesboro, Rutherford, TN. This family may be related to Mary Harrison, though Gideon's family is not thought to be related to the family of Middleton Harrison, above.

John Harrison who married Nancy Thomas 26 Apr 1838 in Athens, Limestone, AL was in the War of 1812 in Capt. Fleman Hodges company enlisting at Huntsville, AL. pension # 3870 issued 1871. Several land transactions are in the records of John Harrison with Joseph Harrison, and sold land to Lucas in 1829 (land he got from Joseph) and disappears from the census after 1830 probably removing to IL. Their home in IL was about 2 miles north of Logansport. This may be the same John Harrison that married Elizabeth McClung in 1818 and Nancy Thomas was his second wife.

Surety was John Harrison and Charles McLung documented in the Orphans Court of Madison Co., AL 17 Sep 1818

One family of Harrisons that was briefly in Talladega, AL included Richard Thomas Harrison, Benjamin D. Harrison and uncle Richard Johnson Harrison, likely of the Lincoln Co., TN branch which includes Revolutionary War patriots, of whom one brother was born in England and a brother born in Charles Co., MD. The Middleton name is not used in that line, however, and most descendants went to Claiborne Par., LA or to Allen Co., Kentucky.

Obit: Thomas Harrison in Huntsville Democrat, 18 Jan 1840, says he died 4 Nov 1839 at his residence in Coffee Co. TN, upwards of 80 years. he was born in England, and fought for TN. He and his brother Richard Harrison came to TN after serving in the NC Militia under Gen. Davidson. The obituary asks that Democratic papers in St. Louis and Talladega, AL pick up the obituary (Harrison Surname File, AL Archives)

Notes for William Trotter:

Not to be confused with the William Trotter born about 15 years earlier that married Keller.

Revolutionary Soldier. Possibly his parents may have been Willam and Elizabeth Ashley Trotter. (could this be Elizabeth Atchley, an otherwise unknown sister to Daniel Atchley or his father Joshua Atchley?) Was his brother Richard Amos Trotter?

His Revolutionary Claim for a pension was #S1598.

He appeared in court in Sevier Co. on 03 Sept 1832. He stated that he was 69 years old this past Christmas. He entered service in Augusta Co., VA in May 1781 as a substitute for Richard Trotter for 6 months. He served under Capt. Thomas Smith in Col. Samuel Lewis' Regiment of Militia. He was at the seige of Yorktown and the taking of Cornwallis. He was honorably discharged at Williamsburg. His 1st application was returned to be amended.

On July 23, 1833 he was again in court in Sevier Co. and provided more specific information. He was born at Christmastime near Philidelphia, PA and moved to Augusta Co., VA. He lived there 12 years after the Revolutionary War. He then lived in Jefferson County, TN for 3 years and moved to Sevier Co. in 1797.

The second application was accepted - Granted Certificate #22288, issued 18 Oct 1833. $20 per annum, retroactive to 04 Mar 1831. Act of June 7, 1832, East TN Agency.

Jeremiah Horn Compton of New Brunswick, Middlesex Co., NJ was also at the surrender of Cornwallis and ended up in Sevier Co. and may be close to this family. Sevier Co. may have been the location of a lot of bounty land for the war, also.

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rootsr/AL-hugh2.htm

possibly Benjamin Hugh McClung.

"His father was likely a John McClung as shown in Alabama Records, Vol. 24 Limestone County Deeds pg 215. This deed is registered in March 1828 showing a John McClung indebted to his sons: Hugh and David." Thanks to John McClung. pjmacmac@attbi.com

Between 1834 and 1837 Hugh purchased 9 land grants. This land was passed down or purchased from siblings until it all belonged to Anderson McClung, and then John Evans McClung. After John Evans McClung died in 1902, some of the 1,000 acres was sold - a little at a time - so his widow and an unmarried daughter could survive. By 1937, when John E.'s widow died, all of the land was gone, and the daughter had to leave the farm. Thanks to Ellen McClung Yarbrough BriarwdEss@surry.net

From a list of Private Claims made to the US House of Representatives, there was a Hugh McClung who made claim 20 May 1826 for "remuneration for lands of his granted to Indians in Tennessee".

By 1812 he was on the Wayne Co., MS tax rolls.

By 1819 he was on the Covington Co., MS tax rolls, where he was shown in the 1820 census.

By 1823 he was in Copiah Co., MS.

By 1827 he was in Jones Co., MS., where he also appeard on the 1830 census.

He died in 1833 in Jasper Co., MS, on the same property that was earlier in Wayne Co.

He did not pay poll tax in 1813, and may have been born in 1762 or 1763. He served during the Revolution.

The following from "Records of Jasper Co. Mississippi" by Jean Strickland & Patricia N. Edwards, 1995.

"The following story of a Revolutionary experience was told to John L. Lightsey by Edward Terral who fought in the great American struggle for Independence. John L. Lightsey in turn related it to his son, Joseph B. Lightsey, who recorded it in his diary Wednesday, October 12, 1853. This diary is now in possesion of D. M. Lightsey of Louin, Miss.

"The story goes as follows: Edward Terral, who enlisted in South Carolina, at one time was with a company of men who were taken prisoner by the Tories. Night coming on, they halted. Their captors prepared their prison by cutting down pine trees and building a pen of the logs, this they called a "Bull Pen", in which their prisoners were huddled after being tied. A guard was stationed in the door while the other members indulged in heavy eating and drinking.

"Sometime past the midnight hour when all were asleep, Mr. Terral succeeded in untying his hands, then one by one unloosed his comrades. He then told them they must make their escape, "to stay there till the break of day was certain death, for the Tories had condemned them all to be hung the next morning". All were more than ready to make the effort and follow directions with the exception fo one fellow who was regarded as the lazy member of the unfortunate band, he having given up hope and accepted his fate.

"Mr. Terral, the leader, then announced he would knock down the guard who sat knodding at the door, run over and past him, and they were to follow suit. So saying, he laid the guard full length on the ground and the stampede followed. All passed out into the open except the lazy fellow afraid to take the chance. The constant beating of heels against the ground aroused the sleepers who seized their guns, firing after them without affect.

"On and on they ran until they reached the American camp. Here the Captain with his company pushed back to give the Tories a fight. When they reached the "Bull Pen" the Tories were in the act of hanging their comrade they left behind, and just as the sun began to rise behind the eastern hills, a bloody fracas took place. The Americans killed and captured as prisoners each and every one of them. Those captured as prisoners, they hung.

"And so it was, they met the same fate they had planned for this brave little company of Americans whose ever present banner was "Give me Liberty or give me death". (Diary of Joseph B. Lightsey)"

Notes for Artalissa Stephens:

Children of Edward Terral and Artalissa Stephens are:

34. Rev. William Morris, born Abt. 1776 in near Marion, McDowell, NC; died 04 Aug 1846 in Jasper Co., MS. He was the son of 68. Thomas Morris. He married 35. <Unknown> Bet. 1796 - 1799 in prob. SC.

35. <Unknown>

Notes for Rev. William Morris:

Whether William Morris was the father of Mary Elizabeth Morris, and whether Drury Allen Morris was her half-brother are matters of speculation. Anyone offering proof or theories, please contact me!

The ancestry of Drury Allen Morris may be speculative.

This from a rootsweb query: Pauline Hallett Pollywog@rippers.com

"William Morris a Baptist preacher, his wife (Dora Smith?), he was b. in SC. In 1814 he had a son Drury A. Morris [or grandson through his son Joseph?] in Wayne Co. MS, he then is found in MS 1820 census Covington Co., they may have had a son there after census was taken, William J. Morris 1819-1820. The family had more children, need names and dates. They then moved to Jasper Co. where William the preacher at the Old Salem Baptist Church, he died in 1846.

"His father may have been a Joseph who died in the 1820s I think and his father the Rev. William Morris raised two sons of Joseph."

Note: One William Drury Morris was born in 1730 in Richmond (City or Co.), VA, and married Sarah S. Viney; a son Drury M. Morris b 1755 NC married Sarah Rachel Hampton, resided at one time Greenville Co., SC. Separately, Drury Allen was a prominent name in Virginia and the south. Many families of Drury Allen's descendants are in this file, with no known link to Drury Allen Morris.

Notes for <Unknown>:

Children of William Morris and <Unknown> are:

48. Joshua Atchley, born Abt. 1720 in NJ; died Aft. 1760 in Loudoun Co., VA. He was the son of 96. Thomas Atchley and 97. Ruth Maple. He married 49. Mary Martino Abt. 1745 in Middlesex Co., NJ.

49. Mary Martino, born Abt. 1725 in New Brunswick, Middlesex, NJ. She was the daughter of 98. Franco Martino.

Notes for Joshua Atchley:

Joshua Atchley "was born in New Jersey and lived there until young manhood. His father was James (sic) [Thomas] Atchley, the emigrant, who came to America from England. Joshua Atchley was married to [Mary] Martin. They were living near Brunswick, Middlesex County, NJ, during 1750....Joshua Atchley and family emigrated to Loudon County, VA, and there Joshua died. He was a baptist."

Joshua had a brother called Thomas Atchley, who "was a witness to the will, dated Oct. 22, 1747, of Derrick Huff, a blacksmith of Kingston, late of the City of New Brunswick, Middlesex Co., NJ. Kingston is just over the line in Somerset Co. (p.251, Vol.2, Abstract of Wills, New Jersey Archives).

"Nathaniel Atchley, a brother of Joshua Atchley, married Keziah Hull on July 2, 1764 (Vol.12, Abstract of Marriage Records)."

Notes for Mary Martino:

or Mary Martin

One indication, her father may be Franco Martino, evidenced by a War pension record.

The Martin and Trotter families are also related in New Jersey, and one Trotter spouse's name is "Ashley" which may be Atchley.

Children of Joshua Atchley and Mary Martino are:

50. Daniel Russell, born Abt. 1730 in Farnham, Richmond, VA; died 14 Sep 1805 in Jefferson Co., TN. He was the son of 100. Joseph Russell and 101. Sarah Smith. He married 51. Jemima Hendrick Abt. 1762 in Cumberland Co., VA.

51. Jemima Hendrick, born Abt. 1726 in Halifax Co., VA; died in Jefferson Co., TN. She was the daughter of 102. Adolphus Hendrick.

Child of Daniel Russell and Jemima Hendrick is:

52. William Trotter, born Bef. 1743. He was the son of 104. <Unknown> Trotter. He married 53. <Unknown>.

53. <Unknown>

Notes for William Trotter:

Thought to be William Trotter, but not proven. Some indicate that this must be Joseph Trotter who married Nancy Allison. The dates do not work for me.

Mr. Trotter likely was a Philadelphia-area resident when son William was born at Christmastime, 1763. Another Sevier Co., TN Trotter, John Trotter (b. 1777) (commonly attributed to the Augusta Co., VA branch which later resided in Bourbon Co., KY) may be closely related. Descendants of both branches married women with connections to to Haggard and Atchley families. As a result I suspect that William and John are brothers or uncle / nephew. An Amos Trotter is thought to be part of this family, possibly the father of John. Note: John and William likely resided in Augusta County for several years around the time of the Revolution, but are not siblings of the branch that moved to Bourbon Co., KY.

No evidence has been found to confirm that William Trotter (b 1763) had a father named William, but John's father has been so described [correctly or incorrectly?].

This may be William Trotter who married Elizabeth Ashley or Elizabeth Atchley.

The Trotter Family of Philadelphia, PA is documented for several generations and is in my file.

Ancestor of Brad Pitt ; probably all Trotters of Sevier Co., TN.

57. Hannah <Unknown>, died Aft. May 1797.

Notes for John A. McClung:

His ancestry is speculative, though it is obvious from intermarriages that he is part of the larger family to which he is connected.

Possibly closely related to William McClung and Euphemia Cunningham whose son James resided in Limestone County, AL.

This is:

Anderson John McClung or John Anderson McClung. Not to be confused with the John A. McClung who died in 1832 in Colbert Co., AL, who was the son of James McClung who md Elizabeth McPheeters.

Vol. 24 Limestone County Deeds pg 215. This deed is registered in March 1828 showing a John McClung indebted to his sons: Hugh and David

See a study of the Alabama McClung families:

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rootsr/AL-Index.htm

John McClung who came to Alabama by 1815, when he was entering land in Sec 9, Twp 4, Range 1W as an assignee of Frederick Barnes at the Huntsville Land Office, Mississippi Territory. He was listed as an inhabitant of Alabama in Madison County in 1816 along with William, Francis and Leslie McClung. (Leslie may be the "Lastley" enumerated in 1830 in Crittendon Co., AR b. in 1780s).

This may be the John mentioned in Greene Co., TN tax list of 1783, and he may have been the son or grandson of Hugh McClung who died in that county. Hugh died after 1786. It appears that these families moved into the northern part of Alabama when land opened there. Hugh who died in Franklin (Records in Greene Co,TN) was listed in the 1830 census, which indicates a likely one-generation gap.

Limestone county (Deeds, 24:215) indicate that John of Madison Co. was indebted to two of his sons: Hugh and David of Limestone County. John was in Sec. 7, Twp 4, Range 2W in Madison Co. The witnesses were Starkey Perkins, Elisha Parker, and John H. McClung and dated 1 Mar 1828.

The 1830 census index shows him as Alexander John McClung; State: Alabama Year: 1830; County: Madison Roll: M19_4; Township: 3rd and 4th Ranges Page: 112.

John A. McClung died in 1836. (Will Bk A:200) Benjamin McClung was appointed administrator with Daniel Wilson and Hugh McClung, securities.

In the 1830 census of Alabama includes in Madison County: Alexander M. and James W. McClung. In Limestone County, Hugh and James. Morgan county, just south of Limestone and Madison has Andrew, Charles, James and John McClung. Francis was in Jefferson County by then but tax records have him in Madison Co. in 1813. We do not find David in the 1830 census but we know he was there two years earlier.

Notes for Col. James Hubbert:

http://owslfl.tripod.com/adamguthrie/

"Thought to be" the son of George Hubbert.

From the History of Sevier Co., TN:

http://web.korrnet.org/schm/files/schistory.html

"In 1783 a number of settlers, who had recently located in the vicinity, assembled at Maj. [Major] Henry's, near the mouth of Dumplin Creek, and there built a fort. At about the same time, a friendly conference with the Indians was held at the house of a Mr. Gist. It was attended by Maj. James Hubbard, who had settled on the north bank of the French Broad River just above Bryant's Ferry, and who became notorious for his enmity toward the Indians. His father's family in Virginia had been cruelly murdered by the Shawnees, and he had sworn vengeance against the whole race. He spared no pains to create Indian disturbances in order to afford opportunity to gratify his revenge, and this occasion was no exception. He attempted to frighten the Cherokees in attendance upon the conference into some hasty action which might furnish a pretext for violating the truce, but in this he was prevented by Capt. James White, and for a time peace was secured. After this the settlements south of the French Broad increased quite rapidly."

Also see:

http://wovoca.com/hidden-history-murders-cherokee-chiefs.htm

which describes a massacre if Cherokee chiefs for which history does not hold James Hubbert in high esteem. Old Tassell, a Cherokee, and his son were murdered under a flag of truce in 1788 by the command of Major James Hubbard (Hubbert).

And another instance:

"When James Hubbard killed two Indians, settlers in Dumplin Valley expected retaliation from the native settlers. "The settlers assembled together at Henry's near the Mouth of Dumplin there built a station. A half-breed passing through the neighborhood was requested to procure a friendly conference between his exasperated countrymen and the settlers. The conference was held at Gist's. Six or eight Cherokees attended there, having crossed the river at Henry's." (Dawson, p. 7 Source: Annals of Tennessee by Ramsey, page 274.)

WILL OF THOMAS ATCHLEY

Text transcribed by T. Grant Maple from a photocopy provided by the Office of the Secretary of State, New Jersey Archives. This is the entry in the record book made by the surrogate at the time of probate. A photocopy of the original will was also provided, but portions containing witnesses names were unreadable. The recorded copy appears to be a faithful copy of the original, except in enumerating the sons, the word "five" was substituted for the figure 5 of the original.

Memo: Five Generations

Notes for Ruth Maple:

Children of Thomas Atchley and Ruth Maple are:

98. Franco Martino

Child of Franco Martino is:

100. Joseph Russell, born Bef. 1698 in Richmond Co., VA; died 1748 in Charles Co., MD. He was the son of 200. George Russell and 201. Elizabeth Bengey. He married 101. Sarah Smith 08 Nov 1722.

101. Sarah Smith, born Abt. 1698 in Northampton Co., VA; died 1772 in Cumberland Co., VA. She was the daughter of 202. Peter Smith and 203. Lydia <Unknown>.

Notes for Sarah Smith:

Child of Joseph Russell and Sarah Smith is:

102. Adolphus Hendrick, born Bef. 1685 in King William Co., VA; died Bef. 25 Jan 1763 in VA. He was the son of 204. Hans Hendrick and 205. Jane <Unknown>.

Notes for Adolphus Hendrick:

Adolphus Hendrick would appear to be the eldest son just reaching the age of maturity by the date of the deed of gift on 20 February 1705/6. The language of the deed of gift makes it clear that Adolphus had no male children as of that date.

Carooline Co., VA deed: # VPB 11 p2-3 20 Feb 1719/20 Alexander Spotswood Adolphus Hendrick 490a N Side of Pamunkey River in St

12 Jan 1747 (O.S.) -- Thomas Harvey patented 400 a. in Goochland County on both sides of Tear Wallet Run and bounded as followeth, "to wit, beginning at a pine on Robert Poak's corner . . . crossing Tear Wallet Run five times to a white oak . . . Wm. Kent's line . . . Adolphus Hendrick . . . Wm. Daniel . . ." (Va. Land Patent Book #28, pp. 308 - 309)

http://home.nc.rr.com/rwbaird/hendrick/hendrickhans.html (see footnotes and citations at this site)

He is the only son who can be proven, by the 1706 deed .... Given the timing and wording of this deed of gift, it is reasonable to speculate that Adolphus was the eldest son and had attained maturity (or was married) at about that time. He remained in King William County through at least 1740. He patented an additional 490 acres in King William in 1720 and, as a resident of King William, entered a patent for 1,000 acres in Spottsylvania County on the same day as his brother and father in 1728. He sold this 1,000 acres in 1740. He patented 400 acres in Goochland County on 1 February 1740 and purchased an additional 400 acres in Goochland a few months later, on both occasions still a resident of King William County. He had moved onto this land by 1746, when he appeared on the Goochland tithables list with two slaves and son-in-law Phillemon Childers. This part of Goochland County became Cumberland County in 1749. Adolphus Hendrick’s will is dated 25 January 1758, and was recorded on 4 October 1763 in Cumberland County. He left the 400 acres he patented to his son Benjamin, and the 400 acres he purchased to his son Moses. Benjamin also received slaves and half the household goods, additional slaves and the other half of the household goods going to son John. Benjamin and John were named executors. John and a fourth son named William received minor bequests. Several married daughters received slaves or money: Christina Evans, Rachel Guillintine, Alice Hubbard, Mary Childress, Betty Bostick, Jane Robinson, and Jemima Bradshaw. There are also several deeds of gift to some of these children. Oddly, after he wrote the will he deeded the land son Moses was to receive to somebody else, and formalized some of the other bequests in deeds of gift.

Children of Adolphus Hendrick are:

104. <Unknown> Trotter

Notes for <Unknown> Trotter:

The listed children are not likely brothers, but this record is here as a placeholder to show that two different families included similar names and went through Augusta Co., VA.

John Trotter is known to have emigrated to Philadelphia; William Trotter is known to have resided in Philadelphia. Both men later resided in Augusta Co., VA, though the William Trotter that moved to Sevier Co., TN is not the son of the John Trotter that went to Bourbon Co., KY (he had a son named William whose descendants are accounted for). These men may be uncle and nephew instead of brothers, or they may not even be (closely) related.

From: Historical Sketches of the Campbell, Pilcher, and Kindred Families:

"Charles Campbell was born in Ireland in 1703; died in October or November, 1778; his will was written in 1775, probated November 11, 1778; married about 1735, in Ireland, to Mary Trotter, who died, aged eighty-four years; they emigrated in 1740 to Augusta County, Virginia, by way of Philadelphia."

Philadelphia was, therefore, home to a long-standing Trotter family, and a port of emigration for a more recent family.

Memo: 5 generations

Children of <Unknown> Trotter are:

112. Hugh McClung, born Abt. 1730; died Aft. 21 Oct 1786 in Greene Co., TN. He was the son of 224. Hugh McClung. He married 113. Elizabeth <Unknown>.

113. Elizabeth <Unknown>, born Aft. 1730.

Notes for Hugh McClung:

Whether Hugh McClung is a son of James McClung or a Hugh McClung, Sr. is not certain. He is likely of the line that immigrated to PA and moved to VA.

"He is mentioned in the McClung Gen. (1904), p. 110-1, and associated with a note which was receipt for a loan from James McClung. This was signed by Hugh McClung and Francis McClung and witnessed by William McClung and dated 10 Oct 1777. The Francis McClung was supposed to be the same as one who provided the Virginia Militia two horses to aid in prosecuting the campaign against the Cherokee Indians about the year 1777. The name Francis was interpreted by someone to be the name of Hugh's wife. This Francis is most likely a son of Hugh as a woman would have spelled her name Frances. The male name for Francis has been found in Alabama records.

"There was a Hugh McClung whose will is on record in Greene County Tennessee for 21 Oct 1786. He registered it in the State of Franklin which was never recognized by Congress. In it he names his wife, Elizabeth, a son, whose name could not be read with certainty, and three daughters: Sarah, Elizabeth, and Susannah. He also names a grandson, John Gibson. The executors of the estate were wife, Elizabeth and Alexander Wilson. Witnessed by Andrew Martin, Alexander Wilson and John Wilson. (researched by H. R. McClung, 1983)

"If Hugh were making his will at age 50-60, we can estimate that he was born about 1730. We do not know the exact date that the McClungs immigrated but it is estimated between 1729-40. There is the possibility that this earliest Hugh McClung was born in Ireland. If this is correct, he is of the original family of (1-1) James McClung: James, William, Hugh, John, Charles, Matthew, Mary, and Isabel. (See McC Gen, p. 8)."

Children of Hugh McClung and Elizabeth <Unknown> are:

116. George Hubbert, born Abt. 1721.

Child of George Hubbert is:

128. William Terrall, born Abt. 1710 in Wales or poss. Hanover Co., VA; died 14 Oct 1784 in Bennettsville, Marlboro, SC. He married 129. Anne <Unknown>.

129. Anne <Unknown>

Notes for William Terrall:

"Came to Charleston, SC 1737 with wife and two children. "

When William Terrell petitioned for land in SC in 1737 he asked for 200 acres, meaning there were 4 in his family @ 50 acres apiece. That would seem to imply wife and two children born before 1737 elsewhere. (thanks to Robert Franklin Davidson rfdavid@aol.com)

Petitioned for bounty land, and was given land in the Welch Tract of St. David's Parish, later Marlboro County. Petition does not state where he came from. Some books claim he came from Wales (immigrating through Philadelphia, but not residing there long). I'd love to see the sources. Many of his neighbors came from Quaker churches in Delaware.

One record from the Ancestral File of the LDS Church indicates that William is the son of William b 1650 England. Pure speculation links that William to the William, identified as William Terrill, born 1650 England, in the right county at the right time with grandchildren marrying people with his wife's last name. The 60 year old age of the father raises eyebrows. I have chosen not to make the link.

The circumstantial evidence linking this family to the Virginia Terrells is high. Several Terrell families, including Richmond, Philemon and another, resided in a relatively small area on both sides of the river separating Marlborough Co., SC and Robeson Co., NC. Richmond Terrell is certainly from the Virginia family.

136. Robert Morris, born Abt. 1725 in Ireland.

Child of Robert Morris is:

195. Elizabeth <Widow> Lee, born Bef. 1676; died 08 Sep 1727 in Burlington Co., NJ.

Notes for George Russell:

George Russell left a Will written in 1728, probated 1731 North Farnham Parish, Richmond Co, Va

He names George, Lucy, Barbery and Charles.

Notes for Elizabeth Bengey:

Children of George Russell and Elizabeth Bengey are:

202. Peter Smith, born Bet. 1660 - 1670; died 31 Dec 1704 in Northampton Co., VA. He married 203. Lydia <Unknown>.

203. Lydia <Unknown>, born Bef. 1680.

205. Jane <Unknown>, born Bef. 1670; died 1742.

Notes for Hans Hendrick:

Hance Hendrick, Sr.; some say he was from Holland.

Hance Hendrick was patented 175 acres in the "Pamunkey Neck" area of King and Queen Co., VA on Oct. 28, 1702

On a 1706 King William Co., VA deed was Adolphus Hendrick / Hance Hendrick....... "near Thomas Hendrick old plantation." Hance to son Adolphus 1706 deed.

"Hance Hendrick Sr. would have claimed his children on a headright grant if he had imported them, thus the children were probably born in America. That leads us to speculate that Hance Hendrick Sr. was actually in America several years prior to his headright grant of 23 April 1701."

Notes for Jane <Unknown>:

Children of Hans Hendrick and Jane <Unknown> are:

224. Hugh McClung, born 1705 in Co. Antrim, Ireland; died 1780 in VA. He was the son of 448. John McClung and 449. <Unknown>.

Notes for Hugh McClung:

Speculative link.

Child of Hugh McClung is:

400. Dr. John Russell, born Abt. 1646; died Bef. 17 May 1675 in of N. Farnham Par., Richmond, VA. He was the son of 800. <Unknown> Russell. He married 401. Elitia Billington 11 Sep 1673 in Richmond, VA.

401. Elitia Billington, born Bef. 1655; died Bet. 1679 - 1686. She was the daughter of 802. Luke Billington and 803. Barbary <Unknown>.

Notes for Dr. John Russell:

It seems likely that Dr. John Russell descends from one of the earliest white men in Virginia, John (Chief) Russell and is likely his son. Unless there were men in two generations named Dr. John Russell, which is entirely possible, he was more likely a grandson. He married Elitia Billington in 1673, and is said to have had a son, George Russell, who was probably married soon after 1690. Of course, he could also have married another, sooner.

The author cited immediately below indicates that he is likely Dr. John Russell's son. He was Sheriff of Rappahannock County from 1688 to 1692, after Dr. John's death.

"Deeds & Wills No. 1 (Old) Rappahannock County 1665-1677". Luke Billington appointed Dr. John Russell to be a Trustee to his Last Will with Mr. William Travers and Mr. Giles Cale, May xx3th 1672. Right under the will is - "Henry Shears aged 35 years or thereabouts. John Russell aged 26 years or thereabts. Sworn and examined say that they saw the above named Luke Billington signe seale and publish this writing whereunto his hand & seale is annexed as his Last Will and Testamt and that then he was in perfect mind and memory to the best of their knowledge and further say not.

Henry Sheares

John Russell "

The following is a collection of quotes and paraphrases from "The Russell Family In Early Virginia", Chapter II of "The Russell Family in Virginia" by Louis des Cognets, Jr. The three John Russell names are separated as "Dr. John Russell" (the proven ancestor who married Elitia Russell), John (Chief) Russell (in Virginia in 1608) and John (Rappahannock) Russell, sheriff of Rappahannock Co., VA around 1690 (after Dr. John died).

Dr. John Russell was appointed a trustee in the 1671 will of Luke Billington, and was evidently a close friend, and John (Rappahannock) Russell acted as a witness and must also have been a frequent visitor in his household [Since the will was dated 1671, and John (Rappahannock) Russell must have been 21-26 years old, the author presumes a birth date of about 1645]. That two Russells should have been so intimately connected with the Billingtons, but in no way related to one another would be highly improbable. The most reasonable relationship for the two Russells would be that of father and son. In 1688 John (Rappahannock) Russell was Sheriff of Rappahannock County, a post he held until 1692, the year that Rappahannock was abolished by division into Essex and Richmond Counties. John (Rappahannock) Russell was likely born by 1645, which implies that Dr. John Russell may have been born by 1623 [presuming one to be the father of the other]. As that was the year in which John (Chief) Russell was known to be alive and at his plantation near Jamestown, he is qualified to the father of Dr. John Russell and grandfather of John (Rappahannock) Russell.

Dr. John Russell owned land on Chikacone Creek (Coan Creek) in Northumberland County 29 Nov 1658 with Colonel John Trussell and John Chandler (Chandeler) as neighbors on the same stream. Both Trussell and Chandeler appeared on the list of 1623 in proximity to John (Chief) Russell. John Trussell had been born in 1605, came to Virginia in 1622, and was a Burgess for Northumberland County between 1649 and 1655. He was presiding Justice in 1659, and died 21 May 1660. [John Trussell may be an ancestor of Mark Freeman on another line, though the exact link is not known.]

(end of quotes and paraphrases from "The Russell Family In Early Virginia", Chapter II of "The Russell Family in Virginia" by Louis des Cognets, Jr.

In May, 1675, Thomas Erwin deposed to the county court about some activities he had observed at John Russell's house, saying, "that on or about the beginning of March last past this Deponent being at the house & plantation called Island where John Russell then lived and the sd Russell being at the prsent deprived of his Speech but according to my Judgment in perfect Sence and memory did first according to this Deponts. understanding make signes to William Serjeant to follow him the sd Russell they went into a little Shed and the sd Russell took two pewter dishes in his hand & made signes to his Sonne to give him one of the sd Dishes and according to this Deponents understanding the sd Russell make signe to give the other Dish to his Daughter & coming out of the sd Shed went & opened a Small box & tooke out two Silver Spoones & delivered the one of the sd Spoones to his aforesd Son & the other Spoone according to this Deponents understanding the sd Russell made signes to give to his aforesd Daughter and afterwards the sd Russell took out a small box of which he took one Gold ring & one Silver seale & delivered the same to William Serjeant and sd Serjeant saying to the sd Russell what to me the sd Russell made signes to the Contrary, then the sd Serjeant said to the sd Russell what to my Wife the sd Russell then made Signes according to this Deponents understanding that he did give the same to the sd Serjeants Wife after all which signes the sd Russell put up the severall things above mentioned in the respective places where they were And there they continued till the sd Russells decease to the best of this Deponents Judgment & farther saith not May the 17th 1675.

Research notes: dcllr@email.msn.com Doris Collier, a Russell descendant of another (possibly related?) line:

Richard Russell was transported to New Norfolk Co., VA by James Knott, Mar. 24, 1634. Lower Norfolk Co. was created 1637 from New Norfolk Co. Richard Russell, Sept. 25, 1657, Northumberland Co., VA, land patent of 1,000 acres on Chincahan Creek, sometimes called Presley's. He abandoned this tract for some unknown reason, and it was taken up by James Pope on Oct. 12, 1660 who then sold it to William and Peter Presley, Apr. 24, 1661. Richard died 1667, leaving a will dated July 24, 1667, mentioning his son William. Richard's wife was Anne. Richard was also in Isle of Wight. He was a Quaker and a physician. On Mar. 23, 1704/5, Richard Russell of Northumberland Co. sued John Pope, son of James Pope. Richard Russell m. Hannah Franklin, widow of Henry Franklin. His will is missing but an inventory dated May 16, 1709 shows his to have been a man of considerable wealth.

Notes for Elitia Billington:

She married 2nd Samuel Bayley

or or Alice Billington, or Alicia Billington or Elisha Billington. She was of Rappahannock County and was administratrix for Dr. John Russell 22 Dec 1677, and gave a power of attorney to Dennis (Mc)Carty that is entered upon the Lancaster County Order book on that date. By 9 May 1677 she was a widow, otherwise she would not have been appointed administratrix of Nathaniel Richardson, even though she was his largest creditor.

The following year 26 May 1678 Samuel Baley brought suit against Captain David Fox, Jr., inasmuch as he had married the administratrix of Nathaniel Richardson, namely, Alice Russell.

Child of John Russell and Elitia Billington is:

Notes for <Unknown> Russell:

This may have been a "first" Dr. John Russell.

John (Rappahannock) Russell was likely born by 1645, which implies that Dr. John Russell may have been born by 1623 [presuming one to be the father of the other]. As that was the year in which John (Chief) Russell was known to be alive and at his plantation near Jamestown, he is qualified to the father of Dr. John Russell and grandfather of John (Rappahannock) Russell.

There appear to be two John Russells, each likely born in the mid-1640's, each thought to be closely related to or the son of Dr. John Russell.

Child of <Unknown> Russell is:

Notes for Luke Billington:

From: Warrens and Related Families of North Carolina and Virginia Revisited, by Dr. Holland D. Warren, 1999: "Planter. Billington lived on Farnham Creek near More Fantleroy. [Moore Fauntleroy] In 1656 he witnessed an agreement between Fantleroy and John Remerse regarding erection of a mill. In 1661 Billington gave a heifer to William Barber, Jr.'s daughter, Mary. Billington patented 329 acres adjacent to Col. More Fantleroy's land in 1663. In 1667, Mr. Branch gave a heifer to Billington's daughter, Elisha, and Thomas Williamson gave a heifer to Billington's son, Luke Jr. Billington Sr. was an attorney for others at various times. In 1668 Billington patented 679 acres in the country. He was deceased by May, 1672. Barbary was his wife and the executrix of his estate. Elisha Russell, Mary Daniel, Elizabeth Billington, Jane BIllington and Barbary BIllington were his daughters. Luke Billington, Jr. was his son, and William Daniel his grandson. Billington's Will named three overseers for the estate, one of whom was Justice Samuell Peachey. Billington's wife, Barbary, was deceased by October 1674. Luke Jr. was deceased by March 1687. Dr. John Russell was a trustee of Luke's will on 13 Nov. 1671.

1600. John Russell, born 1587 in England; died Aft. 1637. He was the son of 3200. Sir John Russell and 3201. Elizabeth Sheldon.

Notes for John Russell:

John (Chief) Russell.

The following is a collection of quotes and paraphrases from "The Russell Family In Early Virginia", Chapter I "The Russell Family in England" by Louis des Cognets, Jr.

"... was a student at Gloucester Hall (now Worcester College, Oxford), 17 Jan 1600/1, aged 13, of Worcester county, equitis fil (knight's son). As there was only one Russell family in Worcester who were knights, and as his father Sir John (Zutphen) Russell, had named his younger son John in his will of 1587, the identification is definite."

"... a member of the Second Supply ... sailed to Ameria under the command of Thomas West, Lord Delaware, a descendant of the Roger de la Ware who had possessed Strensham before the succession of James Russell in 1283. The bitter quarrl between his father and his mother's family, the Sheldons, might have been one factor that decided him to start life anew in a far country. ... is among a list of gentlement who landed at "James Cittie" in 1608."

The following is a collection of quotes and paraphrases from "The Russell Family In Early Virginia", Chapter II "The Russell Family in Virginia" by Louis des Cognets, Jr.

Presumed grandson John (Rappahannock) Russell was likely born by 1645, which implies that Dr. John Russell may have been born by 1623. As that was the year in which John (Chief) Russell was known to be alive and at his plantation near Jamestown, he is qualified to the father of Dr. John Russell and grandfather of John (Rappahannock) Russell. One fact that sustains this relationship ... John Bilington was reported as the owner of the manor of Churchill, not far from Strensham in 1397.

Dr. John Russell owned land on Chikacone Creek in Northumberland County 29 Nov 1658 with Colonel John Trussell and John Chandler (Chandeler) as neighbors on the same stream. Both Trussell and Chandeler appeared on the list of 1623 in proximity to John (Chief) Russell. John Trussell had been born in 1605, came to Virginia in 1622, and was a Burgess for Northumberland County between 1649 and 1655. He was presiding Justice in 1659, and died 21 May 1660.

John (Chief) Russell was mentioned in 1608 as one of the "gallants" of the Second Supply, and as a "proper gentleman". Walter Russell, Doctor of Physicke, Francis West and George Yarrington (Yarranton) were also among those classed as gentlemen.

The following year of 1609 Captain John Smith and John (Chief) Russell were left alone in a house with the Powhatan and a few squaws, when suddenly the crafty Indian disappeared, and a crowd of armed warriors surrounded the place. Without a moment's hesitation Smith and Russell charged out with drawn swords. This was so unexpected that the savage tribesmen were taken by surprise, and fled in such haste that they tumbled over one another to get away from the sharp blades of the two Englishmen.

On another occasion Captain John Smith went to see Opekankano (Opecancanough) in his village, which was located where the Pamunkey and the Mattapony Rivers unite to form the York. He was accompanied by George Percy, a younger son of the Earl of Northumberland, Francis West, a brother of Lord Delaware, and John (Chief) Russell. ... Captain ... Smith ... followed by Percy, West and Russell he dashed into Opekankano's house, andthere they "seized him by his long scalp-lock", and then "dragged him before the astonished multitude, and held a pistol to his breast." Such resolute behavior won a bloodless victory. Opekankano ordered his fighting men to fall back, which they did, and the little party of settlers returned safely to Jamestown.

In 1621 John (Chief) Russell was fortunate enough to escape the massacre of that year, for in 1623 he was listed as living on his plantation over against "James Cittie." Among his immediate neighbors were John West, Morice Loyd and Aron Conway. John Trussell was located at West and Shirley Hundred, and nearby him were Francis West, Isaac Maddeson (Madison), Mary Maddeson and Thomas Maddeson. Ann Ashley was living in James Cittie, John Throgmorton on the Eastern Short, and John Chandeler (Chandler) at Bass's Choice. These names all recur along the trail of the Russell family.

In 1637 John (Chief) Russell transported "Jon Asley" to Virginia. By 1730 evolution in spelling had changed it to "John Ashley," with William Russell acting as a witness for the purchase of some land in Spotsylvania County.

Notes for Sir John Russell:

Sheriff of Worcestershire in 1578; Member of Parliament for Worcestershire in 1584,6,8.

Sir John Russell is styled John (Zutphen) Russell to distinguish him from his cousins of the same name. His will dated 24 April 1587; he appointed Edward Russell, the 3rd Earl of Bedford, and Gilbert Littleton as Overseers. In a codicil dated 13 Dec 1587, witnessed by Samuel Butler (father of the author of "Hudibras") he had appointed his "good cousin, Sir William (Thornhaugh) Russell and Edmond Colles" in their place. Probated 31 July 1598, though his death was reported as 18 Sep 1593.

John Russell (b. 1552) was 18 years old when his father married Margaret Ligon. He was bred up away from home in the household of his noble kinsman, Francis, Earl of Bedford (Godfather of Sir Francis Drake). John formed the closest ties with the Earl's youngest son, his cousin, William, later Lord Russell of Thornhaugh (m. Elizabeth Long).

Notes for Sir Ralph Sheldon:

A major family dispute occurred, and he was denounced as a Papist, who was trying to turn his daughter against his Protestant husband. His son-in-law, meanwhile, was charged with mistreating his wife.

There was no doubt that he was a Papist, as in his will it was stated in the preamble that "he does humbly ... hope to die in the ... Catholicke Church.

Inherited his father's tastes in a variety of directions as well as a large fortune. Had seven daughters who married into influential county families, and all were alive in 1613 when he made his will. He left each of them a basin and ewer of silver, and ordered that they be engraved with the coats of arms of his seven sons-in-law impalied on his own.

A man of considerable education and varied interests. About 1554-1555 he sent his son to travel on the continent with Richard Hyckes as a companion and guide. While they were in Flanders, it is thought that Hyckes was "bound prentice to a Dutch arras weaver", and there learned the art of tapestry-weaving. William Sheldon was much pleased by the prospect of introducing a new craft to Worcestershire, and set up a number of looms. Many of the Sheldon tapestries woven at that time have become famous.

Brass Rubbing in Ashmolean Museum, Oxford:

Parish: St Mary Redcliffe, Bristol

Inscription: Philip Mede Esq. and 2 wives (1475)

Coat of Arms: Gules a chevron ermine between three trefoils slipped argent

From the verger of St. Mary Redcliffe:

"The tomb of the Mede family is approx. 10 ft high by 18 ft by 3 ft. It contains in one compartment the effigies of Thomas and his wife and in the other a brass of Philip and his two wives. This rectangluar brass shows Philip kneeling with his wife. Philip's helmet is seen in front of him leaving his head uncovered and showing his long hair. Philip Mede's daughter married Maurice the younger brother of William 12th Lord Berkeley. He was disinherited for marrying her but later became the 13th Lord Berkeley. Philip also supported with his men the Berkeley family at the last private battle fought on English soil at Nibley Green in 1470.

Philip Mede was Mayor of Bristol in 1459, 1462 and 1469. Thomas was also Mayor but is dressed in merchant clothing and as he had the tomb built with its fine carving I suppose he managed to gain the family wealth."

The Nevilles were the most powerful family in England in the 1460's and Richard Neville's son, another Richard Neville (the "King-Maker") was their greatest member.

On 24 August 1453 a quarrel between the Nevilles and thePercies developed into open warfare when a 700-strong force of men-at-arms in the Percy livery fell upon a party of Nevilles, including the Earl of Salisbury, his wife and sons, returning from a wedding between Thomas Neville, Salisbury's second son, and Matilda, niece and heiress of Ralph, Lord Cromwell. The wedding party was armed (another indication of the state of affairs) and a battle raged across the Yorkshire Moors for several hours, with a number of people being killed and many wounded, while the Neville ladies rode for shelter at the manor of Sheriff Hutton. (Source: "The Wars of the Roses", by Robin Neillands)

Notes for John 'of Gaunt' Plantagenet King of England:

Earl of Richmond 20.9.1343, Duke of Lancaster, Duke of Aquitaine, titular King of Castile

Beaufort was the name of a prominent 15th-century English family that was descended from John of Gaunt and his mistress Catherine Swynford. Although legitimized in 1396, they were barred from succession to the throne, which from 1399 to 1461 was occupied by their cousins of the house of Lancaster. Henry Beaufort, c.1377-1447, bishop of Winchester from 1404 and cardinal from 1426, was a dominant political figure during the reign of Henry Vl. His nephew, Edmund Beaufort, c.1407-1455, and the latter's son Henry, 1436-64, both dukes of Somerset, were the leaders of the Lancastrian party during the Wars of the Roses. The last of the line was Edmund's niece, Margaret Beaufort, 1443-1509, whose second marriage (1455) was to Edmund Tudor, earl of Richmond and half-brother to Henry Vl. Their son became king as Henry Vll after overthrowing Richard III in 1485.

Notes for Edward III Plantagenet King of England:

Edward III, the eldest son of Edward II and Isabella of France, was born in 1312. His youth was spent in his mother's court, until he was crowned at age fourteen, in 1327. Edward was dominated by his mother and her lover, Roger Mortimer, until 1330, when Mortimer was executed and Isabella was exiled from court. Philippa of Hainault married Edward in 1328 and bore him many children; the 75% survival rate of her children (nine out of twelve) was incredible considering conditions of the day.

The Hundred Years' War occupied the largest part of Edward's reign. He and Edward Baliol defeated David II of Scotland , and drove him into exile in 1333. The French cooperation with the Scots, French aggression in Gascony, and Edward's claim to the throne of France (through his mother Isabella; the Capetians failed to produce a male heir) led to the outbreak of War. The sea battle of Sluys (1340) gave England control of the Channel, and battles at Crecy (1346), Calais (1347), and Poitiers (1356) demonstrated English supremacy on the land. Edward, the Black Prince and eldest son of Edward III, excelled during this first phase of the war.

The Black Death swept across England and northern Europe throughout 1348-1350, removing as much as half the population. The Treaty of Bretigny in 1360 brought a respite until the resumption of hostilities in 1369. English military strength, weakened considerably after the plague, gradually lost so much ground that by 1375, Edward agreed to the Treaty of Bruges, which only left England Calais, Bordeaux, and Bayonne.

Domestically, England saw many changes during Edward's reign. Parliament divided into two Houses - Lords and Commons - and met regularly to finance the war. Treason was defined by statute for the first time (1352), the office of Justice of the Peace was created (1361), and English replaced French as the national language (1362). Philippa died in 1369 and the last years of Edward's reign mirrored the first; he was once again dominated by a woman, his mistress, Alice Perrers. Alice preferred one of Edward's other sons, John of Gaunt, over the Black Prince, which caused political conflicts in Edward's last years.

Edward, the Black Prince, died one year before his father. Rafael Holinshed intimated that Edward spent his last year in grief and remorse, believing the death of his son was a punishment for usurping his father's crown. In Chronicles of England , Holinshed wrote: "But finally the thing that most grieved him, was the loss of that most noble gentleman, his dear son Prince Edward ... But this and other mishaps that chanced to him now in his old years. might seem to come to pass for a revenge of his disobedience showed to his in usurping against him..."

Notes for Robert de Clifford:

Robert de Clifford, Lord Clifford, Captain General of the Marches of Scotland in 1299.

"History of Westmoreland", chapter about the Norman settlement, Barony of Appleby, page 101, gives pedigree, birth and death dates. Robert was the only son.

He was eight years old at his father's death. He was at an early age placed in high office, being Lord Warden of the marches when but twenty-three years of age. He was subsequently King's Lieutenant, and Captain-General in Cumberland, Westmoreland, Lancashire and the marches towards Scotland; Lord High Admiral of England and Earl Marshall; a justice of the King's forests north of Trent, and he was one of four guardians appointed by Edward I for his son Edward. Robert de Clifford had from Edward II a grant of the castle and baroy of Skipton in Yorkshire, on condition of surrendering the property in Monmouthshire he had inherited from his father. He was killed in the battle of Bannockburn, in 1314, leaving two sons. The record states he was forty when he died (but other dates conflict with that). From the book " ... that one of them (Cliffords) should die in his bed was an infrequent variation on their usual practice of being slain in battle."

Children of Robert de Clifford and Maud de Clare are:

3278568. Edward II Plantagenet King of England, born 25 Apr 1284 in Carnarvon Cast., Carbarvon, Wales; died 21 Sep 1327 in Berkeley Castle, Gloucester., England. He was the son of 3278606. Edward I 'Longshanks' of England and 3278607. Elenora de Castile. He married 3278569. Isabelle of France 22 Jan 1307/08 in Bolougne, France.

3278569. Isabelle of France, born Bet. 1292 - 1295 in Seine, France; died 22 Aug 1358 in Norfolk, England. She was the daughter of 6557138. Philippe IV Capet Roi of France and 6557139. Joan I de Navarre.

Notes for Edward II Plantagenet King of England:

Ruled England from 1307-1327. Prince of Wales 1301.

Edward II was born in 1284 to Edward I and Eleanor of Castille. He married Isabella, daughter of Philip IV of France, in 1308; Isabella bore him two sons and two daughters.

Edward was as much of a failure as a king as his father was a success. He lavished money and other rewards upon his male favorites, raising the ire of the nobility. The most notable was Piers Gaveston, his homosexual lover; on the day of Edward's marriage to Isabella, Edward preferred the couch of Gaveston to that of his new wife. Gaveston was exiled and eventually murdered for his licentious conduct with the king. Edward's means of maintaining power was based on the noose and the block - 28 knights and barons were executed for rebelling against the decadent king.

Edward faired no better as a soldier. The rebellions of the barons opened the way for Robert Bruce to reconquer much of Scotland. Bruce's victory over English forces at the battle of Bannockburn, in 1314, ensured Scottish independence until the union of England and Scotland in 1707.

War broke out with France in 1324, prompting Edward to send Isabella and their son Edward (later to become Edward III ) to negotiate with her brother and French king, Charles IV. Isabella fell into an open romance with Roger Mortimer, one of the Edward's disaffected barons. The rebellious couple invaded England in 1326, capturing and imprisoning Edward. The king was deposed, replaced by his son, Edward III.

Edward II was murdered in September 1327 at Berkeley castle, by a red-hot iron inserted through his sphincter into his bowels. The juxtaposition of Edward I and Edward II was beautifully described by Sir Richard Baker, in reference to Edward I in A Chronicle of the Kings of England : "His great unfortunateness was in his greatest blessing; for of four sons which he had by his Queen Isabella, three of them died in his own lifetime, who were worthy to have outlived him; and the fourth outlived him, who was worthy never to have been born." A strong indictment of a weak king.

Notes for Isabelle of France:

"The She-Wolf"

http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Isabella+of+England

Queen consort of Edward II of England 1308-1327. Nicknamed the "She-Wolf of France".

Isabella or Isabelle was the daughter of King Philippe IV of France and the sister of three French kings. Her mother was Joan, Queen of Navarre. Isabella was born in Paris some time between 1292 and 1295. She married Edward at Boulogne some time in January, 1308. He was already king, hence Isabella never held the title of Princess of Wales, as was wrongly portrayed in the film "Braveheart".

Although Isabella had four children from the marriage, the king was popularly believed to be homosexual, and lavished his attention on a succession of male favourites, including Piers Gaveston and Hugh Despenser. When her brother, King Charles IV of France, seized Edward's French possessions in 1325, she returned to France and gathered an army to oppose Edward, in alliance with Roger Mortimer, Earl of March, who had become her lover. Together they invaded England and defeated Edward, who then abdicated in favour of his eldest son, Edward III of England. Since the young king was only fourteen, they ruled as regents in his place.

Notes for Edward I 'Longshanks' of England:

Edward I, the oldest surving son of Henry III and Eleanor of Provence, was born in 1239. He was nicknamed Longshanks due to his great height and stature. Edward married Eleanor of Castille in 1254, who bore him sixteen children (seven of whom survived into adulthood) before her death in 1290. Edward reached a peace settlement with Philip IV of France that resulted with his marriage to the French king's sister, Margaret, who bore him three more children.

Edward I was a capable statesman, adding much to the institutions initiated by Henry II . In 1295, his "Model Parliament" brought together representatives from the nobility, clergy, knights of the shires, and burgesses of the cities - the first gathering of Lords and Commons. Feudal revenues proved inadequate in financing the bourgeoning royal courts and administrative institutions; summoning national Parliaments became the accepted forum of gaining revenue and conducting public business. Judicial reform included the expansion of such courts as the King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer, and the Chancery Court was established to give redress in circumstances where other courts provided on solution. Edward was pious, but resisted any increase of papal authority in England. Conservators of the Peace, the forerunners of Justices of the Peace, were also established as an instituion.

Foriegn policy, namely the unification of the island's other nations, occupied much of Edward's time. A major campaign to control Llywelyn ap Gruffydd of Wales began in 1277, and lasted until Llywelyn's death in 1282. In 1301, the king's eldest son was created Prince of Wales, a title still held by all male heirs to the crown. Margaret, Maid of Norway and legitimate heir to the Scottish crown, died in 1290, leaving a disputed succession in Scotland . Edward was asked to arbitrate between thirteen different claimants. John Baliol, Edward's first choice, was unpopular; his next choice, William Wallace, rebelled against England until his capture and execution in 1305. Robert Bruce seized the Scottish throne in 1306, later to become a source of consternation to Edward II

Edward died en route to yet another Scottish campaign in1307. His character found accurate evaluation by Sir Richard Baker, in A Chronicle of the Kings of England : He had in him the two wisdoms, not often found in any, single; both together, seldom or never: an ability of judgement in himself, and a readiness to hear the judgement of others. He was not easily provoked into passion, but once in passion, not easily appeased, as was seen by his dealing with the Scots; towards whom he shaowed at first patience, and at severity. If he be censured for his many taxations, he may be justified by his well bestowing them; for never prince laid out his money to more honour of himself, or good of his kingdom."
