"GREEN, John - bc1610, d1693, m1 Mercy (or Mary) Jarvis (d1657), m2 1658 Martha (Brett?) Finch (wd/o John).
John Green's background is uncertain because there were several John Greens who came to America in the early 1630s. He was in New Haven before 1650 and in Stamford by 1654 where he lived on the north side of East Street. He was a shepherd in 1669 and was a constable and a deputy several times. He moved to Bedford, NY in 1680 and died there. His sons Joseph and Benjamin returned to Stamford about 1685. They lived at the east end of town north of the road.

1414 RESEARCH NOTES:
1. Elizabeth Goodwin and John Crow are mentioned in the following excerpt of William Goodwin's biography: "The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633," Volumes I-III:
"William Goodwin
Origin: Braintree, Essex
Migration: 1632 on Lyon [Hotten 150] First Residence: Cambridge Removes: Hartford 1636, Hadley by 1659, Farmington by 1670... Estate: ...In the Hartford land inventory of February 1639 "Mr. William Goodwing elder there in Christ Church" held twenty-two parcels, seven of which had been granted to him: three acres with dwelling house, outhouses, yards and gardens; one acre, one rood and ten perches in the Little Meadow; thirty acres, three roods and twelve perches of meadow and swamp in the North Meadow; four acres and thirty-four perches on the east side of the Great River; fourteen acres in the Old Oxpasture; eight acres in the Cowpasture; and twenty-eight acres, three roods and twenty-eight perches on the west side of the Little River. Among the remaining parcels, acquired by purchase, was "one parcel belonging to Mr. Goodwin & to John Crow jointly lying on the east side of the Great River," which they had bought from several persons, totalling seven hundred sixty-six acres [HaBOP 23-28]. On 26 March 1645 "Mr. William Goodwin of Hartford upon Connecticut River, ruling elder in the Church of Christ there, and John Crow of the same town, planter," sold to "Thomas Newell of Tunkses Sepos [Farmington] and John Standly of Hartford ... all our buildings and dividend or dividends of land made or to be made at Tunkses Seposs" [Farmington LR 1:54]... Marriage: (1) Shalford, Essex, 7 November 1616 Elizabeth White, daughter of Robert White of Messing, Essex [NEHGR 55:24]; she died before January 1669/70. (2) After 7 December 1654 and by January 1669/70 Susan (Garbrand) Hooker, widow of Rev. Thomas Hooker; she died at Farmington 17 May 1676 [Farm VR Barbour 58, citing FarmLR 2:141]. Child: With first wife
i Elizabeth, b. say 1620; m. by about 1640 John Crow of Hartford (probably as his second wife, since his eldest daughter Esther was born about 1628 and so was too old to be daughter of Elizabeth Goodwin) [Goodwin Gen 105-07]. In 1674 "Ozias Goodwin aged 78 years and W[illia]m Goodwin aged about 45 years" testified that "Mr. W[illia]m Goodwin deceased and Mr. John Crow his son-in-law ... were copartners in their buyings and sellings" [Goodwin Gen 107-08, citing Connecticut Archives, Private Controversies, Volume One].
Associations: William Goodwin's first wife, Elizabeth White, was sister of Mary White, wife of Joseph Loomis of Braintree, and of Anna White, wife of John Porter of Windsor [NEHGR 55:22-31]... Bibliographic Note: The family of William Goodwin has been especially well treated in print, due mostly to the patronage of James Junius Goodwin and the research of Frank Farnsworth Starr. In 1891 a number of authors, at the behest of James Junius Goodwin, wrote lengthy chapters which were gathered as "The Goodwins of Hartford, Connecticut, Descendants of William and Ozias Goodwin," (Hartford 1891), cited herein as Goodwin Gen. A biographical account of William Goodwin himself was prepared by Rev. George Leon Walker (pp. 77-94), and a similar treatment of Ozias Goodwin was done by Charles J. Hoadly (pp. 97-102). Frank Farnsworth Starr compiled the genealogies of the descendants of these two immigrants (pp. 105ff.). James Junius Goodwin then commissioned Starr to compile an account of some of his ancestral lines, which did not include any Goodwin material, presumably since that had already been published in 1891 ("Various Ancestral Lines of James Goodwin and Lucy (Morgan) Goodwin of Hartford, Connecticut," 2 volumes [Hartford 1915], cited herein as Goodwin Anc). Finally, the same team produced a massive three-volume set based on decades of research on the Goodwin name in England ("English Goodwin Family Papers, Being Material Collected in the Search for the Ancestry of William and Ozias Goodwin, Immigrants of 1632 and Residents of Hartford, Connecticut," 3 volumes [Hartford 1921], cited herein as Goodwin Papers). The material of most interest to descendants of William Goodwin may be found in Volume Two (pp. 1123-24, 1171-77)."

2. NEHGS Register, Vol. 55, pages 22-31, 1901, see notes of Robert White for full transcript of article from which the following partial excerpt is taken:
"The children of Robert White of Messing, Co. Essex, England, Who Settled in Hartford and Windsor. By a Descendant...
William Goodwin and his wife Elizabeth left but one child, a daughter Elizabeth, who married John Crow, an early settler of Hartford. The date of her birth is not known, but it could not have been earlier than 1617, nor has the date of her marriage been found..."

3. The book, "Ancestors & Descendants of Clark Proctor Nichols and Sarah (Sally) Stoughton in England and America, 1620-2001, by Clara Pierce Olson Overbo (2002), pp. 158-59:
"JOHN CROW, born perhaps at Braintree, co. Essex, England; died at Hartford, Connecticut 18 January 1686; married ELIZABETH GOODWIN, daughter of William Goodwin. (See Goodwin Family)
John Crow probably came to New England with the group from Braintree under the leadership of William Goodwin in 1632 on The Lyon. This was the group that later was called "Hooker's Company." John, together with his father-in-law, William Goodwin, came to own a very large amount of land at Hartford. In fact, John Crow was considered the largest landowner. He had come to Hartford with the group from Newtown in 1636.
John, his wife, and family removed to Hadley in 1659 with the group of dissenters from the First Church of Hartford, which was at that time under the leadership of the Reverend Samuel Stone. Differences in opinion as to baptism and qualifications for church membership were the reasons for the exodus to Hadley. Sometime later, the Hartford church again split and the dissenters established a church in South Hartford.
Crow returned to Hartford in 1677/78, probably becoming a member of the South Hartford Church. He lived at Hartford until his death 16 January 1686.
Elizabeth, his wife, died at Farmington but the date is not known.
Children of John and Elizabeth (Goodwin) Crow:
i. Esther Crow, born about 1628, married, Giles Hamlen.
ii. John Crow, a merchant in Fairfield, Connecticut; died at sea.
iii. Samuel Crow, killed at Turner's Falls 11 May 1676 in an Indian skirmish', married 1671, Hannah Lewis.
iv. Nathaniel Crow, resided in Hartford; died 2 July 1695.
v. SARAH CROW (Lineal Ancestor. See g 2 below)
vi. Anna Crow, born 13 July 1649, married 7 March 1668, Thomas Dickinson.
vii. Elizabeth Crow, born about 1650, married about 1679, William Warren of Hartford and Hadley. They removed to Wethersfield, Connecticut.
viii. Mehitable Crow, born about 1652; married 24 September Samuel Partridge of Hadley.
ix. Mary Crow, married 1666, Noah Colonique of Hartford.
x. Ruth Crow, married 21 December 1671, William Gaylord of Windsor.
xi. Daniel Crow, born about 1656 resided at Hartford.
SARAH CROW, born at Hartford, Connecticut 1 March 1646/47; died 26 June 1710; married at Hatfield, Massachusetts 1 November 1661, DANIEL WHITE. (See White Family for children.)

4. The book, "Ancestors & Descendants of Clark Proctor Nichols and Sarah (Sally) Stoughton in England and America, 1620-2001, by Clara Pierce Olson Overbo (2002), pp. 160-61:
"WILLIAM GOODWIN, born probably at Braintree, co. Essex, England about 1591; died at Farmington, Massachusetts 11 March, 1673; married (I) ELIZABETH WHITE, daughter of Robert White of Messing, co. Essex, England; (see White Family) (2) SUSANNAH HOOKER, widow of Reverend Thomas Hooker.
Certainly William Goodwin's early life was spent at Braintree in co. Essex where he was living at the time he became the leader of the company which migrated to the New World. It is not known just how William Goodwin and Thomas Hooker became such close friends. Some have conjectured that Hooker may have lived with the Goodwins at Braintree for a time after he was evicted from his clergy position and before he found it necessary to flee to Holland to save his life. Hooker was an ardent and eloquent orator, well known throughout the entire area, and drew crowds to hear him speak. Naturally the Braintree group would wish for Hooker to come to New England and be their preacher which he did a year later.
The Braintree group of twenty-four, under the leadership of William Goodwin, arrived in New England September 1632 aboard The Lyon. They settled in a spot that they called Wollaston, but were soon ordered by the General Court of Massachusetts to remove to Newtown, which later became known as Cambridge.
Elder Goodwin, as he was called, became their church leader in the months that followed. Hooker and Stone arrived a year later amidst much rejoicing.
Reverend Thomas Hooker was then ordained as their pastor and Samuel Stone as their teacher. William Goodwin remained as the elder, which was a very important position in the church. At least he made it an important position.
Goodwin and his family were among the hundred or so people who left Newtown and trudged the long distance to their new home in Connecticut. There he assumed leadership in the establishing of the Hartford church and the body politic.
After Hooker's death in 1647, Reverend Stone became the clergyman of the Hartford church. Stone's ideas were somewhat different than Hooker's, and by 1659, a group under the leadership of Goodwin had moved back to Massachusetts and settled in the town of Hadley.
By 1670, the Goodwin family was living at Farmington where Samuel Hooker was the minister. Sometime after the Reverend Thomas Hooker's death, his widow, Susannah, married William Goodwin, becoming his second wife. This was probably in 1670 as Goodwin's wife had died in 1669/70. The reason for William and Susannah moving to Hadley may very well have been that Susannah's son, Samuel, was the minister of the church there.
William Goodwin died at Farmington 11 March 1673 after a life well spent in doing what he felt was right for him and for the colony of which he was a part.

1420 RESEARCH_NOTES
1. Per research notes of the Ship Brooklyn Association - Utah Chapter: President Richard H. Bullock at "silver2@aros.net," 9458 Quail Hollow Dr., Sandy, UT, 84 093, 801-943-9393: "Wife of B...H...Hall died 7 Nov 1872 and is buried in the Ogden City Cemetery Plot A, Block 2, Lot 11 with no stone." This information is incorrect. I reviewed obituaries located at Ogden Public Library. B.H. Hall is a misspelling for B.K. Hall who is actually Benjamin K. Hall, not Basil Hall. This corrected information sent to Brooklyn Association July 2000. Correct burial information in Virginia is noted below.

2. Censuses:
1830 US: New Jersey, Monmouth County, Dover Township, P.374: George K. Winner, 1 M 20-30, 2 F Under 5, 1 F 15-20. [Probably George, his wife, and Mary Ann and Elizabeth]. Note: Other Winners in NJ census: Abby Winner, Gloucester Co., Egg Harbor Twp., p.198; Isaac Winner, Sussex Co., Green Twp., p.187 [note: there are two Isaacs listed with exactly same info]; Samuel Winner, Burlington Co., Evesham Twp., p.84. Further research needed to reconstruct Winner families in New Jersey. Dover township is now part of Ocean County since 1850.

1840 US: New Jersey, Monmouth County, Dover Township, FHL film 016518: George K. Winner, Males (Ages: 1@under 5, 3@20-30, 1@30-40), Females (2@Under 5, 1@5-10, 1@10-15, 1@20-30), Four listed as Coastal Sailors. [Supposition: George was one of the "20-30" males and an "Ocean" sailor, the other three were sailing associates or relatives, the boy was Moroni [under 5], George's wife [20-30], Mary or Elizabeth [10-15; but why only 1 listed?], Louisa [5-10], Emmajean and possibly an unknown daughter [2@under 5: this is confusing - was there another unknown girl who died before the Ship Brooklyn sailing thus explaining the large gap of 6 to 7 years in childbirths?].

1850 US: Sep. 27, 1850 show Halls with two sons in Alexandria County (now Arlington), Virginia.

3. Many have reported Elizabeth as a possible twin to Mary Ann Winner. This appears to be speculation from the early Winner research of Enid Willardson. I have viewed Enid's records after her death and find no documentation. Ages given with burials show Mary Ann Winner older than Elizabeth. See notes below with "BIRTH" for more information.

4. There may be five children born to Elizabeth. Elizabeth was quite fertile reproductively. Her first child Ignatious was born 1848 within two years of marriage in Aug. 1848. #1 Bazil was born Jul 1850 [they were in VA by Sep. 27, 1850 census which means she may have travelled from California pregnant - what an accomplishment in those days]. There is a gap of 4 years before Elvira is born May 1854. Celina follows quickly in July, 1855. She was pregnant at the time of her murder in Dec. 1857. With all this child bearing, the four year 1850-54 gap is unusual. Mike Holmes sent me copies of bunch of either death or burial records as sequentially handwritten and numbered. They consistently over the years call Bazil as "Baswell" and list place of burial as "Va." Each entry over the many years is sequentially listed with Elizabeth as #661, Bazil as #7778, and Frances [2nd wife] as #7852. There are three deaths listed as as "Baswell Hall Child" in "Va": #587 on 16 Feb 1857, #592 on 24 Mar 1857, and #639 on 15 Sep 1857. Both Ignatious and Elvira survive beyond their mother's death of Dec, 1857 since they show up in the 1860 census. The 1850 census lists Ignatious and Bazil as the only children. We know that Basil [Jr.} and Celena were two of the deaths which leaves one more born after 1850 but dead by 1850 [most likely date would be 1852]. Imagine Elizabeth's state of mind having lost 3 children and imagine Bazil's when he also lost his wife in the same year. Based on this information, I believe we must assume another child, sex unknown.

BIOGRAPHY:
1. Age 17 upon arrival with her family via the ship Brooklyn in Yerba Buena (San Francisco) 31 Jul 1846.

2. Reva Scott, "Samuel Brannan and the Golden Fleece" (1944, The Macmillan Co., New York) has many references to the Winner family. The author notes that she has taken some liberties where detailed scenes are involved, but the story itself is based entirely upon historical fact and every incident has been verified. Some quotes:
a. Pp.103-107: In speaking of services aboard the ship Brooklyn: "On Sunday Sam preached a sermon, and on the many Sundays that followed he alternated with his counselors and William Glover, Barton Mowry, and George Winner, or other members of the company who could and would deliver some sort of sermon." Also mentions that Lizzie (Elizabeth) Winner led music probably including John Taylor's hymn "We Are Going to California":
"The Upper California, O! that's the land for me,
It lies between the Mountains and the great Pacific Sea:
The Saints can be supported there; And taste the sweets of Liberty.
We'll go and lift our standard, we'll go there and be free,
We'll go to California and have our jubilee,
A land that blooms with endless spring, A land of life and liberty.
We'll reign, we'll rule, and triumph, and God shall be our King,
The plains, the hills and valleys shall with hosannas ring,
Our tow'rs and temples there shall rise Along the great Pacific Sea."

b. P.143: Lizzie Winner had wasted no time in falling in love with one of the young service men, and when John Henry Brown heard that an immediate wedding was contemplated between Lizzie and her beloved, Basil Hall, he made haste to offer his hotel as setting for the ceremony. In a little room in the adobe building which had once been used as a Mexican calaboose, Sam Brannan said the words which made them man and wife. Afterward the guests played games.

2. "Passenger List per Brooklyn from New York, Capt. A.W. Richardson, June 22, 1846," found in Hawaii by Mr. John D. Fretwell, 4012 Maywood Dr. S., Fresno, CA 93703-3330. Copy of original which was folded and contained all names on ship: "Manifest of Passengers on board Ship Brooklyn wharf A.C. Richarson is master... [contains a full listing including the following]
George K. Winner, United States, 39 years, Coasting Captain.
Hannah Winner, United States, 37 years.
Six children."

3. In H.H. Bancroft's "History of California" pp. 676-679 in the chapter entitled "Local Annals of the North" is a map of landholders in 1847 [pre-gold rush]: "Geo. K. Winner (?)" owned lot 1 of block 16 [three story apartment building at N.E. corner of Stockton and California Streets across the street from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel] and Basil Hall, his son-in-law, owned lot 4 of block 9 [S.E. corner of California and Kearny Streets and current site of a sixty story office building just a couple of blocks down the hill from George's property.]" Both currently on cable car route bordering the Chinatown district. Old Portsmouth Square is a gathering place for local Chinese-Americans. The alley behind George's lot still is called "Brooklyn End." When downtown San Francisco was mainly abandoned due to men leaving for the goldfields, many Chinese took over the various homes in the area by squatters' rights thereby starting Chinatown. Basil and Elizabeth left California in 1850 for Washington D.C.

4. John H. Brown, "Reminiscences and Incidents of Early Days of San Francisco," p.127: "I will here give list of all the women who were residents in the city [San Francisco] in January, 1846 [16 names listed]. On the arrival of the ship Brooklyn, in July, 1846, many women came to the city, whose names I will now mention...Mrs. Winner and two daughters {evidently he was counting small children so these two daughters were Mary Ann and Elizabeth]..."

BIRTH:
1. Most family group sheets prepared by descendants, perhaps all based on Enid Willardson's original sheet, show 24 Sep 1828. No independent confirmation has yet been found by me including reviewing records in 2001 of Enid Willardson after her death. Elizabeth's tombstone indicates age 28 at time of death on 14 Dec 1857 making birth year 1829 until proven otherwise. 1850 Federal Census for Alexandria indicates she is 20 years old at time of census on Sep. 27, 1850.

MARRIAGE:
1. Will Bagley, ed., "Scoundrel's Tale, The Samuel Brannan Papers; Vol. 3, Kingdom in the West Series" (1999, The Arthur H. Clark Co., Spokane, WA) is a collection of many actual original letters, documents, and diaries which are very interesting with a very good bibliography. One quote on pp.176,177: "Amid these controversies, Brannan did not neglect his religious duties. He married George Sirrine and Emeline Lane shortly after the Brooklyn landed. Innkeeper John H. Brown credited Brannan with the delivering the 'first sermon delivered in the English language in Yerba Buena,' which was 'as good a sermon as any one could wish to hear.' Brannan performed the marriage service, 'according to the Mormon faith,' for Lizzie Winner and Basil Hall. 'There was a general invitation extended to all, a large quantity of refreshments had been prepared, and as there was plenty of music and singing, we had lots of fun. The festivities were kept up until twelve o'clock.' Brown remembered, 'I never enjoyed myself, and any gathering, as I did there." [Footnote: "Sirrine, A Little Sketch of the Life of George Warren Sirrine, LDS Archives, 8; and Watson, ed., "'Reminiscences and Incidents of Early Days of San Francisco;, 34. Warren Sirrine wrote that this was the first marriage 'performed on the Pacific Coast in the English language,' but Brown said the Hall-Winner marriage was the 'first wedding which took place after this city was under the protection of the American flag.' Like many Brannan 'firsts', the facts are impossible to determine with any certainty." [Brown's Hotel was located on southwest corner of Clay and Kearny streets.]

2. J. Kenneth Davies, "Mormon Gold, the Story of California's Mormon Argonauts," (Olympus Publishing Company, SLC, UT, 1984), pp.58,59 speaks of a letter from Mormon Battalion veteran James Ferguson [on his passage through San Fran. after being demustered] to the First Presidency: "He was critical of Sam Brannan and his common stock company which had left 'the many bereft and trodden upon, as they had always been...(while) the few who were the controllers and accountants of the firm became rich and haughty'. Ferguson criticized Brannan's doctrine of amalgamation by which 'several daughters of the brethren here had sacrificed their virtue and honor in disgraceful wedlock to sailors and vagabonds.' [Could this have reference to Elizabeth marrying Basil?]

3. Manuscript "Brief Sketches of Brooklyn Passengers," by William E. Homer, 19 Feb 1996: Elizabeth Winner married a young service man, Basil Hall, shortly after the 'Brooklyn's' arrival. The ceremony was performed by Sam Brannan in Brown's Hotel and was the first non-Catholic wedding in California." I don't believe this information to be correct. Brown's own account as quoted below contradicts location.

4. John H. Brown, "Reminiscences and Incidents of Early Days of San Francisco," p. 34: "The first sermon delivered in the English language in Yerba Buena was preached by Samuel Brannan, who is well known, and will probably be remembered by any of the present day, and they will, no doubt, be surprised on hearing of his serving in this capacity. He preached on the last Sanday in July,† 1846, as good a sermon as any one would wish to hear. The first wedding which took place after this city was under the protection of the American Flag, was celebrated in a building owned by the proprietors of the Portsmouth House. The ceremony was performed in a large room on the ground floor, which was generally used by the Mexicans as a calaboose or prison. The marriage took place among the Mormons, who had arrived so short a time before. The contracting parties were: Lizzie, the second daughter of Mr. Winner, and Mr. Basil Hall. The marriage ceremony was performed by Mr. Samuel Brannan, according to the Mormon faith. I was one of the guests, and I never enjoyed myself, at any gathering, as I did there. There was general invitation extended to all, a large quantity of refreshments had been prepared, and as there was plenty of music and singing, we had lots of fun. The festivities were kept up until twelve o'clock, when everyone returned to their homes, perfectly satisfied, and ready to pronounce the first wedding a grand success."

DEATH:
1. John H. Brown, "Reminiscences and Incidents of Early Days of San Francisco," p. 35: "Mr. Hall, the bridegroom, had accumulated considerable wealth in this country, and he left here in 1850, for Washington City. On his return home, he purchased a colored woman, a slave, Mr. Winner told me that Mrs. Hall treated the colored woman brutally; and the woman, tired of her treatment, and determined to have revenge, one day put Mrs. Hall's feet into the fire and held them there until she was burned to death." [Note: Elizabeth's death occurred 14 Dec 1857 meaning George Winner had contact with Mr. Brown sometime in 1858 or later.]

2. Alexandria Gazette and Virginia Advertiser, 15 Dec 1857, Tuesday, p.3: "Local Items. A Shocking Murder. The Washington Star of yesterday evening, gives the following particulars of a most shocking murder, committed upon the body of the wife of Bazil Hall, residing in Alexandria county, Va., about five miles from Washington. According to her deposition, her husband was walking over his farm, and the rest of the whites of the family were at church, when a slave woman named Jenny, the property of Hall, put an armful of dry plank on the fire, which Mrs. Hall ordered her to take off. She did so, but quickly put it on again. Mrs. Hall again ordered her to take it off. The negress then seized her, and forcing her head down between her (the assailant's) legs, backed her into the fire. Three times, according to Mrs. Hall's deposition, she managed to break loose from the fiend, who as often seized her and placed her back on the fire. On the last occasion, her screams brought other of the family negros and her husband to her rescue. Mrs. Hall died last night at midnight. Drs. Wunder and Locke did all they could to alleviate her sufferings, but in vain. The murderess, before committing her dreadful crime, took the precaution to send a small negro girl, who was in the room, to the spring for water. The negress, who has, of course, been committed to jail, denied the crime, alleging that her mistress fell into the fire. It is most fortunate for the ends of justice that Mrs. Hall survived sufficiently long to make an ante-mortem deposition. Hall tried to shoot the woman ere she was conveyed to prison, but was prevented from accomplishing his object. He and his family were considered by respectable persons in the neighborhood as being hard on servants; and not very long since he had a portion of his farm buildings burned by some of his own servants."

3. Death was 15 Dec 1857 [death #661] per death record index copied by Mike Holmes but not documented as to source but most likely of Alexandria County, Virginia. Death noted as "Mrs. Baswell Hall" in "Va." The same record also notes the death of three of her children previously in Feb., Mar., and Sep. of the same year as her death.

4. Alexandria Gazette and Virginia Advertiser, Jan. 6, 1858: "Conviction for Murder. - We stated yesterday, that a negro woman, named Jenny, slave of Mr. Bazil Hall of this county, was convicted of the murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Hall, (wife of Mr. Bazil Hall,) and condemned to be hung on the 26th of next month. The following is the testimony in the case taken before the Court.
Dr. Wunder sworn. - Three weeks ago, yesterday, (Sunday,) I was called to see Mrs. Hall; she was burned from the knee up the back, and also in front, pretty much in a crisp; she was in much pain, sick at stomach and throwing up blood; don't think the flame went down her throat, but the burning outside caused it; I was called in a 3 o'clock, P.M., Sunday; she died about 1 o'clock that night; I remained with her until 10 o'clock that night; she was dying when I left; I apprised her of her condition; she knew she must die, and appeared reconciled; she requested Mr. Hall to take good care of her children after she was gone, and write to her sisters. After that the deposition was taken. I applied remedies externally and internally; they relieved her pains; she said, 'Doctor, I am burnt to death.' When the deposition was given, she thought she must die; thinks her remarks about her children were after giving her deposition; she requested her husband to take good care of the children, and give them religious instruction; Mr. Febrey and Dr. Locke were present at the time the depostion was taken; Mr. Hall also; she was not conscious when I left; deposition was taken after dark; she first told me the circumstances when I was alone; afterwards she repeated the same to Mr. Febrey, in the same words. Before that time Dr. Locke and myself had told her she must die; I think she could not have any expectation of living; I am not Mr Hall's regular family phusician; I attended two of Mr. Hall's children; Mrs. Hall was in good health, I suppose, up to the time she was burned; she was pregnant at the time; I asked the question and she told me so; I am satisfied that her death was caused by the burning.
H. W. Febrey sworn. - I was at church that day; was informed that Mrs. Hall had been thrown in the fire, and requested to go over. When I got there, I met Mr. Hall in the yard and went with him into the kitchen, I asked if Mrs. Hall was badly burned; he said she was; he then showed me some fragments of burnt clothing, and the fire upon which she was thrown, and the bench upon which she was sitting when the attack was made upon her, also the tub with persimmons and water in it in which Mrs. Hall said she extinguished the fire. The Doctors, Locke and Munder were present when I took her deposition, with some others, I do not remember now who they were. I think she was conscious she would die. Depostion produced, identified as the one taken by witness. She made her statement in full; I then reduced it to writing, and read it to her, and she approved it. She know the object of the depostion. - When the Doctors told her she must die, she requested that a minister be sent for; that was before she gave her depostion; think Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Howard were present, with others, don't recollect who; it was about sundown when I got there; I was not present when she made the remarks about her children; she evinced no anger or vindictive feelings; she seemed calm at the time. I, as Justice of the Peace took her deposition in writing, and read it over to her in presence of Drs. Wunder and Locke; she said it was correct, and authorized me to sign it, to be used after her death.
The deposition was here produced by witness, and read as follows: -
'I told Jenny to go to the spring, and Salina to hurry about dinner, that it was late. I laid myself back on the bench upon which I was siting, and fell into a dose. When I roused up, I asked Jenny where was Salina, and she said she had sent her to the spring. I asked her why she had sent her to the spring contrary to my orders? She gave me some of her insolence and I slapped her in the mouth. She then took a piece of pine board, and put it on the fire. I told her that was wrong, as she knew I wanted the ashes saved to make ley [lye], that I was having nothing but hard wood burned. She then took it out of the fire. She again put it in the fire. I told her to take the board out of the fire again. She then caught me and put my head between her knees, and pushed me in the fire. I begged and plead with her not to do me so; my clothes were all in flames. Jenny ran out and shut the door, and held it so that I could not get out. I tore off my clothes as best I could. She again came in and threw me in the fire the second time. I again begged and plead with her not to do me so; if she would not, I would not have her whipped, I would get her master to set her free, and I would give her all the money that I had. She again went out and held the door. I got the fire out as best as I could. I tried to get out of the door, but could not. I then thought of the windows. (She had put all of her children in the other room, and tied the door.) I bursted the door open, and ran to the window, and in attempting to get out she heard me, and came in and caught me and pulled me back, and in doing so I fell in the cradle on her child. I told her she would kill her child. She took it by the arms and threw it on the bed, or back in the cradle, I know not which. She drew me back to the fire, and threw me in the third time. She also caught up her child's clothes, and the clothes that I had torn off, and held them over the fire. When they were all in flames, she held them on my head. She again went out at the door and held it. I then thought of a bucket of water. I ran to it and pulled it over, and in doing so it fell in a tub that was sitting under it with some permissions [persimmons] in it. I first put my head in it as far as I could, for my hair was all on fire; I then sat down it. I again ran to the window and succeeded in getting out, and got on the stile, and hallooed murder as loud as I could. I started to run but did did not get far before I fell. She then saw the servant man William, and called to him and told him to run here for mistress was almost burned to death. She then told him to run for his master. I begged him not, for I was afraid if he left me she would murder me. While I was pleading with him, my son came, I told him to go for his father, and he did so. [signed] Elizabeth Hall'
This deposition taken before me, in my County, this 13th day of December, 1857. H.W. Febrey, J.P.
I saw the burnt fragments of clothing, the tub with persimmons and water in it, the door with the string on it to tie it, and on the east side of the house the mark of a bloody hand on the wall; also a mark on the window sash, one on the sill, and two on the outside of the house, one on each side of the window, and some marks of blood on the stile. The woman Jenny's eye was swollen and she said her master hit her. There were two doors to the room. The bench was on the north side of the house, about four or five feet from the fire.
Salina, a negro woman being first duly charge and sworn, testified as follows:
Mistress told me to wash the dishes and Aunt Jenny to go to the spring - Aunt Jenny told me to go to the spring and said she would wash the dishes - I went to the spring and when I was coming back from the spring she met me half way and took the tub and gave me a bucket and sent me back to the spring - when I got half way from the spring again, she called me and told me to call Uncle William, that somthing was the matter - then I saw mistess coming over the stile and Jenny hold of her trying to pull her back - mistress got loose and ran down near the corn house when she fell - Jenny told me to tell her mistress that she and I were at the spring together - I have heard Jenny say she would cause a heap of trouble on that hill - I have heard her say so often - am not related to Aunt Jenny - It wont take over ten minutes to go to the spring if one went fast, but I did not hurry myself that morning - it was late when we took breakfast that morning, and it was a right smart while after breakfast when I went to the spring - when I met Jenny first time she took the water and told me to go back to the spring - she did not say anything more but walked back fast - when I saw mistress on the stile she said 'O Lord have mercy on me, Aunt Jenny has burnt me up alive.'
William Sprigg, a slave negro, being first duly charged, and sworn, deposed and said.
The girl Salina called to me to run there quick - I got over the fence in sight, and saw her about half way between the house and the spring, running for the house - I got a little farther, and saw mistess and Jenny between the corn house and stile. Mistress told me to carry her to the barn, or else Jenny would kill her. Jenny told me not to believe mistress, and said she fell in the fire herself - I stayed with mistress till Mr. Hall came, who arrived within three quarters of an hour. The only persons about the house were Mistress, Salina, Jenny, and the children. The children are small - I had been absent from the house about three quaarters of an hour. Mrs. Hall stated in Jenny's presence, that Jenny put her in the fire, and Jenny told me not to believe mistress, that mistress fell in the fire herself.
Mr. Bazil Hall: - I was summoned by Mrs. Moore, when about one half mile from the house - when I got to her she told me that my colored woman had killed my wife; when I got to the house my wife was in bed - her first remark was, 'Oh! Baz, Jenny done it,' - my wife said, 'I must die, I am burnt to death' - 'Jenny has burnt me up alive' - I tied Jenny on the porch - I went back to my wife, and she said 'Jenny had burnt her alive, and she wanted to tell me all about it' - I told her to reconcile herself, and keep as still as she could - she stated that she had ordered Jenny to go to the spring, and that Jenny had sent Salina - Jenny is about thirty years of age - my wife told me she asked Jenny why she sent Salina to the spring against her orders - Jenny gave her some insolence, and she struck her in the mouth; then Jenny caught her and put her in the fire, and held her there and beat her. After she was all on fire Jenny ran out the door, and held it so she could not get out - she then ran to the back kitchen door and tried to pull a board off to get out there - finding she could not, she ran to Jenny's room, which was fastened, and burst open the door. In trying to get out the window Jenny came in and pulled her back on to the cradle on Jenny's child - Jenny took up the child and threw it on the bed or into the cradle, she did not know which - she then pulled her back in the kitchen and again put her in the fire - held some clothes over the fire and then held them over her head - then ran out and held the door again - she thought of the window again and went to it and got out - she said Jenny caught her on the stile and tried to pull her back. I think it was about two o'clock when Mrs. Moore called me in the woods - when I first got into the house Mrs. Hall had a large lump on her forehead that appeared to full of blood - she had blood in her mouth as though she had been struck in the mouth - I think, but am not certain that Mrs. Hall said that in trying to get out of the fire she had bitten Jenny - Mrs. Hall's hands were very burnt and bleeding - The skin appeared to be entirely off her hands and arms - when I tried to tie Jenny she resisted me and I think I inflicted some blows upon her - my wife requested me not to shoot Jenny - Mrs. Hall did not see me load my gun - I loaded it with the intention of shooting Jenny, but I was prevented from so doing - Jenny asked me that morning if she might go to Mr. Summers'; I told her to ask her mistress - Her mistress said she could not go, as she had not done her work as she should have done it.
Mr. John Hall. - Mrs. Hall told me that Jenny put her on the fire and that in trying to get away from her she had bitten her on the finger - I examined Jenny next day after Mrs. Hall was burnt, in jail, and found scratches on her neck and marks upon her fingers - the occurrence took place in the kitchen, which is some fifteen yards from the house - the stile is below the kitchen.
Jenny is a woman of about 30 years of age. She plead not guilty and was very little affected when the sentence of death was pronounced upon her. She has a very young child which has been taken home. She has made no confession and stoutly denies that she comitted the murder."

5. Alexandria Gazette and Virginia Advertiser, Feb. 27, 1858: "Execution: The negro woman Jenny, convicted of murder of Mrs. Hall in this county, was hung yesterday according to the sentence, in the jail yard, at twelve and a half o'clock. She made no confession. There were but a few persons within the enclosure, but a large crowd, many from Washington and the County, were congregated outside the walls." Alexandria (Arlington) County, Virginia Death Records, 1853-1896 has the following entry: "[blank], Jenny, (s) of Bazil Hall, F. 26 Feb 1858, Alexa., hung, 45y, - , Alexa. Co., E. Sangster, sheriff."

From: Richard Bullock [mailto:silver2a@earthlink.net] February 22, 2006:
"Below is a page from my book that may shed some light on Bazil Hall and Elizabeths meeting in San Francisco. I am writing about the Kittleman family today and this paragraph came up. The underlined text is my underline and shows that Bazil very well could have just arrived in August 1846 and very soon after they were married....
"Elbert P. Jones, born 23 September 1814 in Kentucky, had come overland to California in early 1846 and made his way to Yerba Buena. Here he found work with Samuel Brannan as temporary Editor of The California Star until Edward C. Kemble came back from his adventures with John C. Frémont. Elbert Jones and Kemble didn't see eye to eye on many matters and after a fisticuffs in the street Jones lost his position as Editor. This is when he bought the Portsmouth House from John C. Brown and met miss Sarah Kittleman.
...A converted tavern became the city's first real hotel, Vioget House, in August, 1846. Its former bartender and first proprietor, John Henry Brown, providentially opened the hotel just before the arrival in August of eight or ten whaling vessels for a four-month stay. He almost immediately changed its name to the Portsmouth House after Captain Montgomery's sloop of war, then anchored in the Bay; its sailmaker and carpenter agreed to supply the hotel's sign if the premises were named for his ship.
The hotel's first registrant was a Captain Simmonds, one of the officers from the whaling fleet. His lodgings were furnished with articles made by various ship's carpenters who had previously touched port; his bed, covered with thick flannel blanketing and calico quilts, may have been mattressed with moss from the Sandwich Islands, or perhaps it was one of four feather beds bought from a party of Mormons who had arrived in July. 1
After a short time, Brown sold the Portsmouth House to Dr. Elbert Jones. He then briefly operated the more elaborate City Hotel, known familiarly as Brown's Hotel, across the Street on the corner of Clay and Kearny in the large adobe building owned by William Leidesdorff. When the landlord upped the annual rent to $3,000, Brown sold out. With Robert Parker, he started a new hotel which was still under construction in May, 1848, when Leidesdorff died.

BURIAL:
1. Gravesite of Basil Hall and his two wives moved from site of old family cemetery at Hall's Hill Plantation to Oakwood Cemetery in the 1930's to make room for a wing at Arlington Hospital which sits on the site of the old house. Tombstone at Site 11, 56 South, Section D, Oakwood Cemetery, Falls Church, Virginia reads: "Basil Hall, died May 14, 1888, aged 82 years; His beloved wife Elizabeth, died Dec. 14, 1857, aged 28 years; His beloved wife Frances, died Dec. 10, 1888, aged 53 years."

1421 RESEARCH_NOTES
1. Per website of Lynn Parham quoted from Mangum Family Bulletin, Vol. 13, Page 24 at
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/lynn.parham/migrate.htm: "William Mangum Sr. was a probably a son of John the immigrant. We first know of him in 1734 when he and his wife Mary record their son James' birth in the Albemarle Parish of Surry County, Virginia. This couple also recorded the births of other children in the parish. The early records concerning William Sr. and his family are very uncertain. William was born about 1709 although we have no direct evidence of his birth or his parentage. His wife Mary, according to one genealogy, may have been a daughter of Job Person and wife Lucy although we have not been able to document that theory. Another source says she was daughter of John Person who's will was probated in Surry Co., Virginia in 1738, but that theory presently seems doubtful. The available records do suggest that the Person family was close kin to the Mangums. William Mangum Sr. and his family remained in Virginia until at least June 1747 when William helped appraise the estate of Arthur Sherrod. By May 1748 the family was in North Carolina.
William Mangum Sr. and family apparently made the trek to the Southwest in 1748. In May of that year William Mangum witnessed a deed in that part of Edgecombe Co., N.C. that is now in Halifax County. They did not stay long there but continued on west into that part of Granville County that is now Warren County. William witnessed a deed there in June of 1748 and obtained land in 1749 when 350 acres were surveyed for him. The land was granted to him in 1751 by John Earl Granville. The grant calls him a planter of St. John's Parish. The tax lists for William begin in 1749 when he list two polls. One poll is William himself and we suspect the other is his son Samuel Mangum. William's last land grant was in 1760 and thereafter he began to sell his land. We have no definite proof as to when and where William Mangum Sr. died."

Palmer, Santa Rosa, 1992, FHL film 1697868, pp. 4-5, issue of John Mangum and Frances Mangum, second Child: "William, the ancestor of the author was b. ca. 1706, Albemarle Parish, Surry Co., VA, d. Orange or Granville Co., VA, aft 1787, m. ca. 1731 Mary Person, b. 1709, Albemarle Parish, Isle of Wight Co., VA, dau. of John Person III, b, ca 1668, Albemarle Parish, Isle of Wight, VA, and Mary or Sarah Partridge, b. abt. 1670, Albemarle Parish, Isle of Wight, VA, dau. of Thomas Partridge. It has been well established that the family of William Mangum, Sr. migrated to NC from Virginia by June 1748 where sons Solomon and Joseph were born. (Footnote 13.) William received a land grant of 150 acres from Lord Carteret, Earl of Granville, in 1751. He settled near where the Roanoke River crossed the Virginia line in what is now Warren Co., then Granville Co., NC. (Footnote 14.) William had joined the great migration of tobacco planters who came from Virginia south to find more fertile land for cultivating the 'golden weed.' (By the time of the 1790 Census of North Carolina, Absolom, Howel, James, Joseph, and William Mangum were identified as heads of household in NC, all residing in Granville and Orange Counties. Another Absolam Mangum was found in Union Co., SC, 96th District in 1790.)
Footnote 12: Will of John Person III, dated 8 Aug 1721, proved 21 Mar 1738, Surry Co., VA, identified in John Person's will included John Person, Thomas Person, Elizabeth Person of Joseph Tuke, Francis Person, Joseph Person, Benjamin Person, Samuel Person, William Jacob Person, and Mary Person who m. William Mangum.
Footnote 13: "Mangum Family Bulletin," #15, 1974, p. 17. William Mangum witnessed an indenture on 1 June 1748, Granville Co., NC (MFB #3, p. 36) James L. Parham, a Mangum descendant, has written this family builletin since March 1969, having published 28 issues of this journal dedicated to preserving and publishing Mangum family information. He has solicited and published Mangum family information from throughout the US and has made it possible for many Mangums to identify their early Mangum ancestors. Subcriptions can be arranged by contacting him at 324 Cumberland Drive, S.E., Huntsville, AL."
Footnote 14: MFB, #22, 1985.
Footnote 15 of this chapter provides a strong argument that John Mangum, the Revolutionary War soldier, is probably NOT the son of 1706 - William Mangum and Mary Person.) Foot note 15: Mrs. Joann Mangum Hoagland of 301 24th St., Silver City, NM, tel 505-38-4789, a descendant of John angum b. ca. 1732, wrote the author "I cannot tell you how strongly I feel about this relationship - that is 1732 John is not the son of 1706 William... I have studied carefully the documentation, which is pretty scarce, for placing 1732 John as the son of 1706 William. It just does not hold water... That Albemarle Parish register put me on to this. When the Parish entries are palced in chornological order, we see that 1706 Wm. entires end about 1747-8 when he moved to North Carolina. 1732 John entries begin and go until 1761, jus before he moved to Lunenberg, VA. In 1747-8 when 1706-Wm. moved, 1732 John is a teenager. He would surely have gone with his father to North Carolina. That, in itself, tells me that 1732-John is not the son of 1706-William. Instead, 1732 John stays in Surry-Isle of Wight. Nor does 1732 John seem to align himself with different people, at least on the Albemarle Parish register, than had his supposed father William." Mrs. Hoagland requests that those interested in this relationship write her at the address noted above. She has obviously made a strong agrument that this undocumented relationship is tenuous. By the process of elimination she systematically eliminated Joseph, whose sons are Micajah, Elisha, and Josiah; Nicholas; James, whose sons were all born too late to be 1732 John; and Henry whose sons were also later than her 1732 John. "That leaves us," she wrote, "with 1703-1744 John and wife Olive Savage as 1732 John's parents... I have not proof - process of elimination."

NOTE:
Jacobus Goelet, the ancestor of the well known family first appears as a school master and afterwards a bookseller and stationer, his place of business being the “Sign of the Bible”. This, which was also his dwelling place was in what is now Hanover Square, directly opposite No. 114 Pearl Street, New York City; here he had two dwelling houses which previously belonged to Abraham Delanoy who was also a school master. These buildings and many others around them were bought by the City in 1819. They were all removed, and Hanovor Square opened as at present. Jacobus Goelet was for many years before his death, the Clerk of the Dutch Church and the records of baptism and etc., were in his handwriting.

The senior line of Griswolds from this generation forward descend from Richard who is in the Visitation of 1619 and is so prominent in the history of St. Alphege.
They had 8 children: [John and Thomas are followed in Pemberton, pp. 42-44, the other children are followed by Philpott.

1428 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1 There are twelve different John Charltons having children christened from about 1685 to 1710 in Bellingham. The parish clerk differentiates between them by naming the farm or hamlet where they were residing at the time of christening. Two of the christenings have no residence noted -- one of those is the tentative christening of our Thomas Charlton, who was chr. 28 Mar 1701. I have merged the other Johns into families on FamilySearch based upon their reported locales. Please do not merge this John to the others in a willinilli manner not respecting these localities. To see the localities, see the extraction records on Find-My-Past and do not rely only on FamilySearch which does not show the detailed localities from the original records. No records exist before this time for this chapel, so we don't have much to work with in trying to determine the origins of any of these "Johns." Also marriage records only begin in the mid-1700s and the burials don't give ages or relationships, so wives and mothers cannot be determined. The list is as follows with our proposed line for our Thomas being the son of John listed first. Surprisingly, there is only one case of multiple children sharing the same farm and father. Perhaps "John" was itinerant moving from farm to farm, but trying to merge them creates conflicts in children and their ages. Further ancestral research looks impossible using parish records. The extraction list:
John (no farm or hamlet mentioned):
-Thomas chr. 28 Mar 1701
John (Newton):
-Jane chr. 29 Aug 1686
John (Reedmire):
-Mathew chr. 7 Feb 1691

BURIAL:
1. Indexing of the Bellingham Chapelry of Simonburn Parish shows the following burial dates of John Charlton. Reviewing the actual film will be necessary to add any distinguishing farms or residences if the church clerk included them. Judging from previous views of this film, it is rare that ages or relationships were given. Here are the dates from 1696 to 1732:
10 Apr 1696
11 Dec 1697

Introduction
Previous research indicated that Eva Stähle was born in Soultz-­sous-­Forêts, Bas­ Rhin, France in 1693, the daughter of Johannes Stähle and his wife Eva. A preliminary search in the parish records of Soultz­-les­-Forêts revealed the presence of two Hans­Eva Stähle couples having children at the same time. Research began with a focus on these two couples in order to learn if children of the families could be separated, and the identity of the correct ancestral couple could be ascertained.
Stähle family in Soultz­-sous­-Forêts
Eva Stähle was born and baptized in Soultz-­sous-­Forêts in November 1693, the daughter of Johannes Stähle and his wife Eva.1 Fortunately, the baptismal and marriage records of Soultz-­sous-­Forêts have been indexed and were available for consultation.
Unfortunately, it was discovered that there were two Hans and Eva Stähle/Stelle families having children in Soultz-­sous-­Forêts at the same time. Spelling for the two families varied for each record, making it difficult to ascertain the two separate families on that basis alone. A closer study of the two families proved successful in identifying which children belonged to each Hans Stähle/Stelle. The ancestor, Johannes Stähle, was consistently referred to by his occupation, a salter. Furthermore, by tracing the families through the early 1700s and looking through the indexed records, it was ascertained that the descendants of each Hans went by slightly different spellings of the surname. The ancestral line was later known as Stähle, while the descendants of the ‘other' Hans later went by Stell.
Eva Stähle's father, Johannes Stähle, was a salter in the town of Soultz­sous­ Forêts. He first appears in town in 1686, where he, as a bachelor, witnessed the baptism of Johann Schora on 25 August.2 The entry mentioning of him was written, "Johannes Stöll, of ___ [left blank], the single salter here." This indicates that Johannes Stähle did not originate in Soultz-­sous-­Forêts, as the priest left a space to later write his town of birth. The priest did not go back and fill in the entry. Johannes Stähle appears as a baptismal sponsor an additional five times between 1686 and 1688.
Johannes Stähle married Eva around 1688 or 1689, as indicated by Eva's 1699 death record.3 Unfortunately, the extant marriage records for Soultz-­sous-­Forêts have a gap between 1681 and 1737. The couple had three daughters: Margaretha (1690), the ancestress Eva (1693), and Maria Barbara (1697). Johannes Stähle's wife, Eva, died 24 January 1699.4 Johannes Stähle remarried shortly after his wife's death, as he and his second wife Catharina have their first daughter, Magdalena Stähle, on 9 April 1700 in Soultz-­sous-­Forêts.5 By 1702, the Stähle family had moved to nearby Retschwiller, where Johannes continued his trade as a salter, but between 1706 and 1714, the family moved back to Soultz-­sous-­Forêts. Johannes Stähle and his second wife had five children, including four sons, before his death on 28 December 1719.6 His age at death gave a calculated birth date of 7 March 1659; however, he was not born in Soultz­sous­ Forêts. Godparents for the children initially seemed to point to the Rempen family as perhaps related, as members of this family showed up in several children's baptisms. A closer look at other baptismal records in Soultz-­sous-­Forêts shows that the Rempen family was particularly popular as sponsors for numerous families, indicating a social connection rather than a familial one.
The origins of Eva Stähle
The death record of Eva Stähle and the one following hers are rather interesting documents that potentially provide clues into her parentage. Eva, wife of Johannes Stähle, died 26 January 1699 in Soultz-­sous-­Forêts.7 The document is difficult to read and in parts is illegible; this is the best translation of the entry:
"the 26th January 1699, died Eva, a devout working quiet housewife: Hans Stelle, the local salter, his wife of ten years, after which she until the 9th day, when began pricks in her [illegible], after which she had endured extreme pain, finally, with faith in God her savior, and very beautiful patience, her soul having believed in Him, after the 24th, in the night, softly and with a [illegible] departed, and the day following was buried.
Let such a soul rest, and give this body a happy resurrection. Her age 32 years."
Following her entry is this entry, for the death of Barbara Straub, also difficult to read and in parts illegible, and translated thus:
"Here, amazingly, after which was received word, and amazingly [illegible] her faith, died, only 5 days after the previously mentioned soul had died [illegible], died on the 31st of the same month and in the night, the same's mother: named Barbara, age in her life was a wife of [?Gadelsf.] after [illegible] was 5 days of illness; Hans Georg Straub, citizen and miller from Keffenach, County of Zweibrücken, [illegible] a surviving widow, otherwise originally from Wirtzberger Land [i.e. Württemberg], in holy rites was buried."
From this translation, it seems that Barbara, the mother of Eva, was the widow of Hans Georg Straub of Keffenach at the time of her death. Keffenach at the time belonged to the parish of Birlenbach. A search of those records revealed some conflicting information. Hans Georg Straub of Keffenach and his wife Barbara were the parents of three children baptized in the parish: an unnamed daughter in 1674,8 a daughter Margaretha on 15 April 1683,9 and a son Jacob on 30 July 1684.10 The only Straub death record found in Birlenbach was for Hans Georg Straub, "the old miller," who died 25 May 1683 in Keffenach.11 This death for Hans Georg Straub, "the old miller" seems impossible to be the same person as the Hans Georg Straub who married Barbara and fathered a child born in July 1684. Additionally, by calling him "the old miller" this may indicate that there was a young miller, i.e. Hans Georg Straub who married Barbara. The death records of Birlenbach between 1683 and 1691 are missing; perhaps Hans Georg Straub, husband of Barbara, died in this time period.
It is very strange that there are no entries of baptism for the Straub family prior to the 1674 entry, even though other children's entries show up from Keffenach in the 1660s and 1670s. Nor is there a marriage in the records for Hans Georg Straub and Barbara. If Eva is the daughter of Hans Georg Straub and his wife Barbara, her baptismal record should be in the records of Birlenbach, but may show up in other places. According to her death record, Eva was born approximately 1666 or 1667. There are two theories for the parentage of Eva, wife of Johannes Stähle:
1. A search through the parish registers of Soultz-­sous-­Forêts shows only one Eva baptized between 1665 and 1667 - Eva Wilhelm, daughter of Hans Wilhelm and his wife Barbara, baptized on 25 November 1666. Hans Wilhelm was a salter in Retschwiller, where he and his wife had four children between 1666 and May 1673. Several things make this a strong possibility - Hans Wilhelm has the same occupation as Johannes Stähle, the family lived in Retschwiller where Johannes Stähle later lived, the age of birth of this Eva would put her as age 32 years, 2 months at the time of death of Eva, wife of Johannes Stähle. There are some problems with this theory, however. For this relationship to work, Barbara, mother of Eva, would have to subsequently marry Hans Georg Straub of Kessenach, which would make him Eva's stepfather rather than her father. Hans Wilhelm would have had to die sometime in 1673 or 1674, after which Barbara marries Hans Georg Straub early enough to have a child with him in 1674 - or Hans Georg Straub had two wives named Barbara, the first of which had the child in 1674. Furthermore, there are no Wilhelms as baptismal witnesses in Soultz-­sous-­Forêts between 1684 and 1689, indicating the family had died or moved by then.
2. Hans Georg Straub and his wife Barbara had three children baptized in Kessenach, the first of which was an unnamed daughter between August and December 1674.12 Based on the death record of Hans Georg Straub in 1683, and a subsequent baptism of a Straub child in 1684, it seems likely that there were two Hans Georg Straubs, probably father and son, both millers in Kessenach, living in Kessenach at the same time. The miller Hans Georg Straub of Keffenach (uncertain of which of the two) appears first in the parish as a baptismal witness on 20 October 1667.13 Barbara, wife of Hans Georg Straub, miller of Keffenach, shows up first as a baptismal sponsor on 21 December 1668.14 She witnesses two more baptisms, but does not appear as a witness between 1672 and 1683.15 Baptismal records in Birlenbach are spotty in the 1660s, with only one appearing in 1664, but seem fairly complete after August 1667. It is possible that Eva was born in Keffenach in 1666 or early 1667, during the gap, and that the family had difficulty having children, with one child born in 1673 and two in short succession in 1683 and 1684. It is also possible that Barbara, the witness of the three baptisms in 1668­1672, was the wife of the earlier Hans Georg Straub. A search through the baptismal sponsors in Birlenbach through 1689 failed to show any Straubs, other than Hans Georg Straub the miller and Barbara, as witnesses. Nor was the marriage of Johannes Stähle and Eva found in the parish.
Conclusion
Through careful analysis of the records, the family of Eva Stähle was successfully identified in the parish of Soultz-­sous-­Forêts. A second marriage was identified for her father, Johannes. Descendants were found to be living in the town through the 1790s but were not researched. Due to missing records, there is some question about the identity of Eva Stähle's mother, Eva. Both theories were evaluated, and it seems likelier that Eva was born Eva Straub, the daughter of Hans Georg and Barbara Straub of the town of Keffenach.
Recommendations
• Search death records of Soultz­-les­-Forêts for information on the Wilhelm and Straub families.
• Continue searching earlier records of Schwabwiller for the Straub family.
• Contact city archives in Soultz­-les­-Forêts to identify potential record sets that may help in identifying the origin of Johannes Stähle.
• Search for additional descendants of Johannes Stähle for further clues that may show up in the baptismal sponsors.

2. Lynn Parham, longtime Mangum researcher and editor of the publication "Mangum Family Bulletin," includes the following treatise and summary of the English Bennetts from whom many believe the non-related Gov. Richard Bennett line of early Virginia descend. It has generally been agreed that our line in Virgiinia through Thomas Bennett appears to be unrelated to the Gov. Bennett line; however, Lynn appears to believe there may be some potential relationship to this English line since he includes it as background information. He does state: "Sadly, these controversies [of the Bennett origins] will not be solved in this book. I do hope to present here a clear understanding of the various theories of Bennett origins hoping that future researchers will eventually resolve them." From the book "Pleasant Mangum and All His Kin, the Story of the Bennetts, the Mangums, and the Parhams," comp. by James Lynn Parham, Gateway Press, Inc., Baltimore, MD, 1997, Chapter 2, Enter the Bennetts:
The Puritans
The Puritans were a religious sect who thought the English Reformation had not gone far enough in its separation from the Roman Catholic Church. In particular they thought that some of the retained ceremonies and forms were too suggestive of the papacy. They objected to the use of the cross in baptism, the clerical vestments, the custom of kneeling at the altar and other Catholic forms of worship, which had already been rejected by the reformed churches
on the European Continent
The Puritans came into their own during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. She, however, disliked Puritanism because of the simplicity and bareness of their worship. More importantly, many Puritans opposed the idea of royal power. Efforts were made to suppress them but with little success. Eventually the Puritans looked to America for freedom to worship as they pleased. They were very successful and powerful for a time although they did suffer some persecution. Their migration to the colonies stopped about 1640, however, when England gave them more religious freedom.
Edward Bennett
Edward Bennett was a wealthy London merchant and a Puritan. He was one of the pillars of the Puritan's "Ancient Church." He owned a fleet of trading ships, which was to play a major part in his dealing with the English colony of Virginia. He resided in Delft, Holland for a while and may have carried on his maritime trade from there and Amsterdam. He was deputy Governor of the English merchants at Delft. He may have later influenced the coming of Dutch trading ships to Virginia.
Edward Bennett was elected a free member of the Virginia Company on 2 May 1621. On 21 Oct 1621 he and several associates received a patent for a plantation in Virginia. It was conditioned on he and his associates bringing 200 immigrants and settling them in Virginia. Mr. Bennett's plantation, later called "Bennett's Welcome" was situated on the south side of the James River "in Warrascoyack County. The county was named after one of the local Indian tribes but was renamed Isle of Wight in 1637. 'Bennett's Welcome' was one of the first large plantations in Virginia and was known as a "Puritan Settlement".
In Feb, 1621/2 the "Sea Flower" arrived with 120 settlers, presumably Puritans, led by Capt Hamor for Edward Bennett's plantation. The settlers quickly busied themselves, preparing the site of the plantation. On 22 March 1621/2, just a month after their arrival, the Indians attacked. There was a huge massacre and the Bennett plantation at Warrascoyak suffered more than most. 53 of the 347 people killed in the massacre were killed at the Bennett plantation. The plantation was abandoned for a time because the colonists were ordered to congregate for protection in the city of Jamestown and other points which could be defended, The plantation was reoccupied a few months later, after the Indian threat lessened. Edward Bennett, on 7 Oct., 1622, requested and was granted permission to repossess the plantation.
Edward Bennett and his family eventually brought in about 600 immigrants. His two brothers, Richard and Robert, came to the New World to oversee the plantation. Edward must have thought that his oversight could be performed better in England because he only came to Virginia later and only for a short time. He must have come to Virginia in the spring of 1628, after the death of his two brothers. Edward married Mary (Bourne) Spencer in London, reportedly on 2 March 1628. It is unknown if his new bride accompanied him to the Virginia Colony. He represented his plantation in the House of Burgesses on 29 May 1628. That body commissioned him and another member to represent them in England, Edward returned to England soon thereafter, never to come to Virginia again. (1)
Edward died before 30 Sept 1664 in England and his Virginia estate was divided among his two daughters, Mary Bland & Silvestra Hill. Edward's widow may have been the Mary Bennett, who died in England 19 May 1661, buried 22 May 1661 at the parish Church of St. Thomas the Apostle.(2)
"Robert Bennett, brother of Edward was in Virginia during the massacre. He survived because he wrote a letter to his brother Edward Bennett in England on 9 June 1623. He died before 20 Nov. 1623. The census of 16 Feb. 1623/4 lists him as one of the dead in 'James Cittie' since the previous April.(3) Another brother, Richard, died in Virginia 28 Aug. 1626, according to the records of the General Court, held 13 Oct 1626.(4)
When Edward Bennett left Virginia and returned to England, he left his plantation in the charge of two of his nephews. By coincidence they had the same names as his two deceased brothers, Richard and Robert Bennett. One of those nephews, Richard Bennett, was destined to play a key role in the history of the New World.
Governor Richard Bennett:
Richard Bennett, 20 year old nephew of Edward Bennett, first appears in the Virginia court records on 29 March 1628.s He was apparently attending to the affairs of his uncle, Edward Bennett When Edward returned to England, Richard apparently became the leader of the Virginia Puritans. The Puritans, under his leadership, soon moved to Nansemond County, which was quickly becoming populated with that religious sect. Unfortunately the Nansemond County records were destroyed by fire in 1888.
Richard was a member of the House of Burgesses for Warrascoyak in 1629, Justice of Monthly Court in 1632 and a member of the Governor's Council in 1639-42. In 1649 he led a group of about 300 Puritans to Maryland but he returned to Virginia. He was made Governor of Virginia on 30 April 1652. He married Ann, widow of John Vtie, in 1614 but left no male descendants. One of his descendants, through the female line, was Confederate General, Robert E. Lee. Gov. Bennett's will was probated 3 Aug. 1676 in Nansemond County, Virginia as well as in England.
The Bennetts of 'Bennetts Welcome':
It has been difficult to determine exactly which English family these Bennetts came from. Research has focused on two families, possibly related. One family is the Bennets of Chillingham Castle and the other is the Bennets of Wiveliscombe, Somerset.
Most Bennett researchers agree that the Wiveliscombe family was the most likely family from which the Bennetts of 'Bennett's Welcome' descended. It was known that Richard Bennett, Governor of Virginia was a nephew of Edward Bennett the London merchant who was proprietor of 'Bennett's Welcome'. In 1656n Gov. Richard Bennett was in England negotiating with Lord Baltimore.6 The Governor made the following affidavit in the Admiralty Court in the case of Ewers against Watts, 12th day of February 1657. "J, Richard Bennett, an inhabitant of Virginia but at present living in London, born at Wilscombe in the county of Somerset, aged 49 years or thereabouts..."
Research has shown that Wilscombe is a common pronunciation of Wiveliscombe. Boddie reports that a search of the parish registers found both his (Gov. Bennett's) father's and grandfather's families.
The Bennets of Wiveliscombe.
Wiveliscombe in Southwest England is about 9 miles west of Taunton in Somerset. Wiveliscombe contains about 1500 people (1980). The parish registers there date back to 1538.
John Bennet, tanner, was the first Bennet we have records of in Wiveliscombe. His parentage is unknown. His wife "Margery" was buried in the local cemetery 3 Dec. 1564. We presume he was the father of the two younger Bennets there, Robert and John. As evidence of this, Robert named his first daughter "Margery" and his first son 'John', the same names as his supposed parents.
Robert was born about 1533 and he also was a tanner. He married in the Wiveliscombe Parish church 10 July 1558 to Elizabeth Edney (Ednye). His will, probated in Nov. 1603, lists many Children. Other children were inferred from the christenings and burials listed in the parish registers. In all he had as many as 15 or more Children, many having the same name as earlier children who had died. It appears that the three brothers of 'Bennett's Welcome' (Edward, Robert & Richard) were sons of this Robert and Elizabeth (Edney) Bennet. Edward Bennett was christened in the parish church at Wiveliscombe 2 Feb. 1577/8, the 15th and last child of his parents.
Thomas Bennet, oldest surviving son of Robert and Elizabeth (Edney) Bennet, was christened at Wiveliscombe, 2 April 1570. He was named sole executor of his father's will in 1603. One of Thomas's sons, Richard Bennet, christened 6 Aug. 1609, was the nephew of Edward Bennett who came to Virginia in 1628 and eventually became governor of Virginia.
This theory of the origins of the Bennetts of 'Bennetts Welcome' is not without its problems. The first problem is the date of birth of Edward Bennett. The parish registers show he was christened 2 Feb. 1577/8. However, Edward Bennett stated in an affidavit 24 Aug. 1635 that he was "...55 years of age or thereabouts?" The key question is how "thereabouts" is his statement of age? If he was indeed exactly 55 years old he would have been born no earlier than 1579, slightly at odds with his reported christening in 1577/8. Christenings were often performed long after births but the christening here in question seems to have occurred before the birth. Still, ages and dating was notoriously prone to errors in that day and time and the discrepancies may not be significant.
Another problem is that the nephew of Edward, (Robert Bennett), has not been positively identified in this family of Bennetts. Robert was probably not a brother of the Governor, Richard Bennett although both were nephews of Edward. Richard did have a brother named Robert but that individual was christened in 1601/2 while Robert Bennett, the nephew of Edward Bennett, was born about 1608.
Lastly, there is the fact that the arms of Governor Richard Bennett, (gules, three demi lions rampant, argent), are the same as those of the Earl of Arlington (Henry Bennett of the Clapcot Bennetts).(8) This prompted Virginia Secretary of State Ludwell to write to Lord Arlington in 1666 saying he believed that Governor Richard Bennett was, "of your Lordship's family as he has the same arms." It is unfortunate that the Wiveliscombe Bennetts recorded no pedigree and arms in the Visitations of Somerset.
Boddie explains the Secretary Ludwell's statement about the similarity of
arms and the possible family relationship as follows; "It is now evident that the Honorable Secretary of State for. Virginia was only guessing as all the descendants of Thomas Bennett of Clapcot. founder of this family, were traced without any connection being found with Governor Bennett's family."
These arms described above were the same arms used by the Bennets of "North Bavant," Wiltshire. It is possible that these "Norton" Bavant Bennets were the parent stock of both families. William Bennett of the Norton Bavant line, who died in 1574, had a brother John and an uncle John, both untraced. It is at least possible that one of these two John Bennets is the one who appears at Wiveliscombe in the 1500's.(9) Note the 'Anns' and pedigree at the beginning of this section on the Bennetts.
The Bennets of Chillingham & Clapcot (An Alternate View):
Mrs. Muriel Bennett Minium, in her book "Bennetts on the Bias" presents a theory that these New World Bennetts originated from the Bennets of Clapcot Manor. She is obviously basing her lineages on some earlier theories of Bennett origins, which other writers, Boddie & Archibald Bennett for example, appear to have discounted.(10)
In any case, her publication has a far more important role to play in our search for the origins of our own line of Bennetts through one Thomas Bennett of Warwick County, Virginia. She is the first author to offer a reasonable, if unproved, theory of the origin of our Thomas Bennett.
But first, more about the Chillingham Bennetts. In spite of the pedigree's title, "The Bennets of Chillingham Castle," Chil1ingham Castle did not come under the control of the Bennets until Charles Bennet married Lady Mary Grey in 1695. He became the 1st Earl of Tankerville. After Charles assumed control of Chillingham Castle the next seven generations of Bennets lived there. The pedigree is therefore titled "The Bennets of Chillingham Castle" although the pedigree actually begins with the Bennet line many generations before they possessed the castle. Our interests lie in those earlier generations, especially the one who possessed Clapcot Manor.
The pedigree of the Chillingham Castle Bennets began with Thomas Bennet of Newbury who was born about 1459. He died about 1509. Newbury is about 35 miles west of London in Berkshire while the Chillingham Castle is in Northumberland, in the Northern part of England.(11)
The next generation, after Thomas Bennett of Newbury, was Thomas Bennet, citizen of London. He was born about 1479 during the reign of Edward IV, King of England. The third generation was John Bennet of London and Newbury who died about 1559. He had son Thomas who was the first Bennet in possession of Clapcot Manor.
According to "Domesday Book" there were two Clapcots in 1066 AD.(12)
They were apparently close together and held by a man named 'Miles' in "Slotisford Hundred" of Berkshire. The 1086 Domesday map shows only one Clapcot almost on the border of Berkshire & Oxfordshire. Unfortunately, the borders of the 'Shires' appear to have changed since 1086. The location of Clapcot may now be in Oxfordshire. Mrs. Minium reports that one Clapcot is near Wallingford on the Thames. Wallingford is in Oxfordshire about 35 miles west and a little north of London. She also reports that the other Clapcot is near Malmesbury in Wiltshire. Maimesbury is about 40 miles west of Wallingford.
It is reported that Thomas married Anne, daughter of Sir Michael Molines, of Mackney, Berkshire. The Chillingham pedigree shows Thomas and Anne of Clapcot with five children. They were:
Richard who married Elizabeth, dau. of Thomas Tisdale of Lanford, Deanly, Berks.
Sir Thomas, Sheriff of London, 1594, and Lord-Mayor, 1603-04, when he received the honor of knight-hood; married Mary, dau. of Robert Taylor,d.16, Feb. 1626-27.
John, d.s.p.
Anna, m. William Dunscombe, of Brickhill, Bucks.
Margaret, m. Sir George Croke, Justice of the Common Pleas.
This pedigree conflicts with other published pedigrees including the one shown at the beginning of the section on the Bennetts. Those other pedigrees show the last three children above as children of the son, Sir Thomas Bennett, sheriff of London rather than the father, Thomas of Clapcot. In possible confirmation of these other pedigrees, the 1629 will of Ambrose Bennet, son of Sir Thomas the sheriff, mentions his "sister Dame Marie Crooke, now wife of Sir George Crooke".(13) This appears to mean that Sir Thomas' daughter was the one who married Sir George Croke, not the daughter of Thomas and Anne of Clapcot. It is unknown why the above pedigree calls her Margaret while Ambrose's will definitely says Marie and another brother John Bennett calls her Mary.(14)
Few of the individuals of Virginia's 'Bennett's Welcome' can be tentatively identified in the 'Chillingham' Bennet family. There probably was an Edward, son of Richard and grandson of Thomas and Anne of Clapcot. The will of Alderman Thomas Bennett, who also was a son of Richard, mentions his brother Edward Bennett.(15) Unfortunately, we have found nothing else about this Edward and we presently have no indication that he had brothers named Richard and Robert, as Edward Bennett of 'Bennett's Welcome' did.
Mrs. Minium reports that these two brothers, Richard and Robert were established in the will of Edward Brent, dated I Feb. 1624.(16) It is true that the will does mention Robert and Richard Bennett and the wording makes it clear that he was referring to the Bennetts of 'Bennet's Welcome." However, nothing in the will appears to link these Bennetts with the Clapcot Bennetts rather than the Wiveliscombe Bennetts.
The above shows that at present the theory that the 'Bennett's Welcome' Bennetts descended from the Clapcot Bennetts is unproven at best. That, however, does not distract from Mrs. Minium's theory of the origins of our Thomas Bennett line.
According to Mrs. Minium it was John, the son (or grandson) of Thomas of Clapcot that held the key to our Bennett line. In the pedigree he is listed as d.s.p. 'd.s.p,' is an abbreviation for the Latin 'decessit sine prone', meaning in general terms, 'deceased without Children'. Mrs. Minium's research showed that no one who came to the New World were listed in the pedigrees. She therefore believes that John, instead of dying without issue, came to America. She also believes, unfortunately without actual proof, that John was the father of our Thomas Bennett of Warwick.
On the negative side, John, if he was father of our Thomas, obviously did have issue. Thomas must have been born in England, about 1580. Also, John was not deleted from the pedigree as Mrs. Minium claimed happened to those who came to America. He was listed as deceased without issue (d.s.p.).
If this John Bennett did come to the Virginia Colony about 1609, as Mrs. Minium theorized, then he was likely the John Bennett who was one of the 'living' in the census of 1623/4 in Warwick Squeake. Warwick Squeake is located on the south side of the James River, 14 miles below Hogg Island. It seems to be just another name for Warrascoyack, now known as Isle of Wight County, Little else is known about this John Bennett and we find no direct evidence that he was the father of our Thomas Bennett. We do not find him in the census (Muster) of 1624/5. Mrs. Minium believes that John was father of Thomas because of the continuity of Christian names and the fact that they were located in the same vicinity. The 1623/4 census does not show John Bennett with a family. It is of course possible that he left a family in England, and that at least one son, Thomas, eventually came to America.
It is hoped that further research will eventually reveal the true ancestry of the two Virginia lines of Bennetts. Mrs. Minium's theory, however tenuous, is the only one we presently have for the origin of our Thomas Bennett. The destruction of records in the civil war may have relegated Thomas's origins to the 'unknowable' forever. We sincerely hope not.

1. The existence of an Elizabeth Graybill, daughter of John Peter Graybill and Christina Wampler, is speculative and not proven.
The source of Elizabeth seems to be the publication FHL book 929.273 P684pn: "Graybill/Stoker/Eller/Smith/Koons/Pitt Connections," by Norman E. 'Gene' Pitt, 1996, pp. 6-8 wherein is stated: "Elizabeth Graybill, b. 1798, Jefferson, Wilkes Co. (now Ashe), NC; d. aft 1880; md. abt 1819 to ___ Shaw. He was b. abt 1795. Their children (all born in NC) are Mary A., William, Thomas, John, Solomon, Alfred P., and Doctor."
The fact that these children belong to an Elizabeth Shaw in Ashe County is well established by the following four US Censuses:

"Quoted from the "Somerset County Historical Quarterly", July 1915: "About 1719 David Cossart came over from New York and purchased considerable property along the Raritan at or near Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey. Two deeds are recorded at Trenton from David Cossart to Aaron and Moses Lowzads, dated April 2, 1727, and July 29, 1734, and read that they are from "David Cosart of Somerset County, yeoman, to Aaron and Moses Lowzands, both of said county, merchants" and state that the lands are "in the town of New Milford (Bound Brook) on the North side of the river." "David Cossart had 1000 acres of land surveyed to him in Somerset County, New Jersey on May 29, 1729"

NOTES: LDS IGI 1993 Edition says David Christened 18 Jun 1671, Dutch Reformed Church, Brooklyn, Kings, New York.
HISTORY: (Sources are varied) The Descendants of David settled in Pennsylvania and from this family descended the late Alexander Johnson Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad System, and it is said that at one time he received the highest salary of any Railroad President; and Miss Mary Cassatt, believed by many to be the greatest artist that America has ever produced. Not only the Cassatts of Pennsylvania, but the Cozads in West Virginia, the Cassatta in Kentucky and some of the Cosarts in Kentucky and Tennessee can claim descent from this David, son of the immigrant. David was born in N.Y.C. June 18, 1671; married 1696 Styntje Joris Van Horne. He was a builder and contractor of N.Y.C. About 1700 removed to Bound Brook, Somerset County, N.J., where he purchased large quantities of land. Member of the Reformed Dutch Church. Couple had eleven children. Their descendents who removed to New York State are using the surnames of Cosart and Cossaart, etc. This individual was found on GenCircles at: http://www.gencircles.com/users/seamonkey1968/1/data/1956"

2. FHL book "The Cossart Family," by Joseph A. Cossairt, 1936:
"COSSART, COSART, COSSAIRT, CASSAIRT, COSSAART, COESART, COSAT, COSSATT, KOSSART, COZAT, COZATT, CASSAT, CASSATT, COZART, ETC.
9. David Cossart, the second son of Jacques Cossart (3) and Lydia Willems, immigrants, born in New York City, June 18, 1671, and died at or near Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey, about 1740, aged about 69 years.
David married at the age of 24 years on October 11, 1696 at the Dutch Reformed Church in New York City to Styntje Joris Van Horne, the daughter of the immigrant Joris Janses Van Horne and his wife Maria Rutgers of Flushing, Long Island. David was the last of the immigrant's children to marry, his younger brother Anthony (10) having married only two months previously.
The births of all the children of David and Styntje are recorded in the list of the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City where both parents were members. This church still exists, but under the name of "Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas", now located on 5th Avenue at the corner of 48th street. A bronze plaque on the front of the building facing on 5th Avenue reads: "Reformed Protestand Dutch Church of the City of New York. Originated under Peter Minuet, Director General of the New Netherlands, A.D. 1628. Chartered by William the III, King of England. This building was erected A.D. 1872." The original church building of this denomination was located on lower Broadway in the near vicinity of the Bowling Green.
David was a stone mason and engaged in the building and contracting trade in which he became quite wealthy for that period. The New York City tax records show that he was a property owner in both the north and south wards of the city, where he purchased and deeded property. This property was located in what is now the downtown business district of Manhattan, in the vicinity of where New York City's sky-line now begins.
Records also show that during the time David was living in New York City, he purchased lands extensively between the years of 1700 and 1728 at and in the near vicinity of what is now Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey.
As early as 1700, or before that time, the lands of Rudyard, with 877 acres adjoining it, belonged to John Royce, were purchased by a company consisting of David Cossart, Samuel Thompson and Jacob de Groot, David Cossart's house stood near the corner of now East and East Main Streets, Bound Brook, N.J. His house stood until 1881 when it was destroyed by a fire that consumed several old land marks of that time. On this very same site now stands (1936) what was once the "Mansion House", later changed to the "Bound Brook Hotel", and which name has recently been changed to the "Greenbrook Tavern". David sold 300 acres to Ebenezer Trimbly, which was inherited by his son Peter, who died May 20, 1797, and left to his daughters, one of whom married Teunis Ten Eyck, and the other to Colonel Staats. In the year 1700, the 1,171 acres of the original properties were purchased by this same company of men. By 1720 Hendrick Harpending, Louis and Moses Louzanda had also become purchasers of parts of this original tract, and subsequently, in 1746, Peter Williamson, James Hude Esq., Anthony Blackford, Bartholmew Kelso, Charles McEvers, Thomas Ervine, Joseph Stansbury, David Cossart (son of David 9), occupied parts and parcels belonging to it.
In front of the "Green Brook Tavern" on East Main Street, Bound Brook is the Battle Monument, a huge stone with a bronze plaque on it reading: "Bound Brook Battle Monument, this stone marks the site of the Battle of Bound Brook, fought April 13, 1777 between 500 American soldiers under Benjamin Lincoln and 4,000 British troops under Lord Cornwallis". During the battle the American cannon were located at this point.
The Hoogland Family in America, pp. 26 and 27 has the following newspaper article which appeared in the newspapers of 1712:
"New York, April 1712 - Some Corminton Negro slaves to the number of 25 or 30 and 2 or 3 Spanish Indians, having conspired to murder all Christians here, and by that means thinking to obtain their freedom, about 2 o'clock in the morning put their bloody design into execution and setting fire to a house they stood prepared with arms to kill everybody that approached to put out, and accordingly murdered the following persons that were running to the fire, Viz., Adrian Hoogland, Adrian Beekman, son of Geradus, merchant (stabbed on coming out of his door and died in the arms of his wife); Lieutenant Corbet, August Grasset, William Echt, Marschalk Jr., Braiser Jr., and Johannes Low.
These were also wounded, Lawrence Read, merchant, Hendrick Hoogland Jr., Johannes de Honneue, John Thorp, Thomas Stersent, George Ellsworth Jr., and DAVID COESART, the first and the last 'tis feared mortally. Upon which the town was soon alarmed which occasioned the murders fleeing into the woods, where several parties are out after them. Also -
"April 14, 1712. We have 70 negroes in custody. Six of these have been their own executors by shooting and cutting their own throats, One was burnt, another broke upon the wheel, and the third hung up alive, and nine more to be executed tomorrow".
Sometime after this incident David Cossart retired with his family to his estates at and near Bound Brook, New Jersey. The exact date of his coming to Bound Brook is unknown to the writer, but the Somerset County Historical Quarterly says: "About 1719 David Cosart came over from New York and purchased considerable property along the Raritan at or near Bound Brook
In an old church list of "The Church of the River and Lawrence Brook", dated 1717 appears the name among others that of "David Cussart", Later this same church became known as "Three Mile Run", and was located in the vicinity of what is now New Brunswick, N. J.
Published in the "First Things in old Somerset", 1899, page 15, by the Rev. A. Messler, D.D. appears: "North-east of Bound Brook and between the mountains, David Cosart, Daniel Hollinshead, the heirs of Anthony Sharp and others had in possession large tracts."
The "History of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, New Jersey", 1881, page 651, by Snell, mentions: "The tract (No. 107, about 1 1/2 miles north-east of Bround Brook - 100 acres) east of the 1000 acre lot of Cordington's Now. 32 was surveyed to David Cussart, May 23, 1729. This lot also extended to the mountains on the north, east to Green Brook, and south to the "Proprietors Lott", afterwards Rudyards. The changes of titles to those lots or tracts are too numerous to mention".
The Rev. T. E. Davis in his "First Houses of Bound Brook (1893) makes mention: "The Cossart House stood on the present site of the Mansion House. It was built in 1700 by George Cussart (David Cossart), who owned all the land between Bound Brook and Mountain Avenue, fronting on the Raritan River. George Cussart (David Cossart) died about 1740, and David Cossart, probably his son, came into possession of the property. During the Revolution the Cossart House was used as a Hotel. It was known as the "Washington Hotel", from a large swinging sign in front of it, on which was painted a portrait of Washington on horseback. Peter Staats was the landlord. He was a brother of Colonel John Staats, of Revolutionary fame, and like him was a true friend to the cause of American liberty. More than one Tory who dared to uphold the British came in the presence of Peter Staats, felt the power that lay in the strong patriot's arm. As a result of his loyalty he suffered very much from the depredations of the British soldiers. When Colonel Semico with the Queens Rangers, a band of native Americans who had enlisted in the army of Great Britain, passed through Bound Brook on the memorable raid of October 26, 1777, they stopped at the Hotel and robbed it of everything valuable which they could carry with them. After many changes and improvements the old Cossart House was entirely destroyed by the great fire of 1881."
Mr. Alfred R. justice, genealogist, for the late Edward Buchanan Cassatt of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, says: "The social status of David Cossart is indicated by his will in which he is called "Gentleman", and which makes it quite certain that his father Jacques Cossart (3) belonged to a manorial family."
THE WILL OF DAVID COSSART. (The following was copied from the Original will of David Cossart by Mrs. Anna M. North, Genealogist. The original will is in Somerset Box 1712-1741 and recorded in Liber C, folio 387 in the Office of the Secretary of State at Trenton, New Jersey).

Inventory of estate was made July 1, 1741, by Jacob De Groot and William Olden; consisting of the "Bown Broak" farm, and personal estate of 137, 10 s. 6 d. See New Jersey Archives 1st Series, volume xxx.
The burial place of David and Styntje are unknown to the writer, but it is believed that they are both buried in the old Presbyterian graveyard in Bound Brook, where other members of the Cossart family are buried, or somewhere in the near vicinity. However, the early burial places were usually small plats of ground on the different farms, most of which have been neglected and uncared for, where, in days gone by, many were buried, cultivation has encroached upon their borders year by year, as the ruthless hands of time has leveled the little mounds over the sleepers, and the humble slab that marked the spot has fallen prone to the ground.
The births of eleven of the children of David and Styntje are recorded in the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City as follows:
CHILDREN:

3. FHL book "The Cossart Family," by Joseph A. Cossairt, 1936, PP. 9-12:
"Jacques Cossart, son of Jacques (1), baptised at Leyden, Holland, May 29, 1639, and died at Bushwick (Brooklyn), Long Island, New York, about 1685. He was the first immigrant bearing the name of Cossart to come to the American Colonies. (See Baird's Huguenot Emigration to America, Volume 1, pages 182-3).
He was received into the Walloon Church in 1657 and was married subsequently to Lydia Willems (sometimes referred to as Lea Vilman) and went with his wife to Frankenthal, Pfalz Province, a small Huguenot village in the Bavaria highlands where three of his daughters were baptised; in about three years he returned to Leyden where they were received into the church, and again left there on April 7, 1660.
After taking their letter from the Huguenot Church at Leyden, Jacques with his wife and two children embarked on October 12, 1662, in the ship Pumerland Kerck, of which Captain Barentsen was skipper, and which on the 14th weighed anchor and passed the village on the Texel, bound with supplies to New Amsterdam. Of approximately ninety men, women and children passengers, the French composed a third and the Dutch colonists the remainder. Each adult was charged for passage and board 39 florins, children of ten years and under, except infants, half price, which was then considered a large sum of money. At that time a florin was worth about $1.60 of our money. The ship is said to have arrived early in 1663.
The charges for their passage stand thus in the accounts of the West India Company:
"Jacques Cossaris debet - Voor vrocht en cosight day hy A 1662, 12 October pr.'t Schip de Pumerlander Kerch, Schtppr Benjamin Barentsen, is herewaerts
gecomenFl. 39
Voor syn vrou 39
En 1 kinder unter 10 jaren19 1/2
T. FI 97 1/2
Some of the other passengers who accompanied Jacques and Lydia to the "new world" were:
"Claus Paulus and wife; Nictlas du put, wife and 3 children; Arnout du Tois, wife and 1 child; Gideon Merlit, wife and 4 children; Louts Louchman, wife and 3 children; Jan de Conchilier, wife and 5 children; Jacob Clopp, from Leyden, wife and 2 children; Judith jans, from Leyden, matden; jorsten Jansen; Ferdinandus de Mulder; Isaac Vermiel, wife and 4 children; Abolts Setshorn; and Claes Jansen Van Heynengen." (See Documentary History of New York, Vol. III, p. 60).
The Latinization of the name Cossart, by the addition of the letters "is" or "ius", is not uncommon. A similiar change occured in the name of Francis Daniel Pastortus, the founder of Germantown, Pa. The late Dr. Learned of the University of Pennsylvania, on visiting the town from which Pastortus came, ascertained that his name was Pastor, and the "tus" has been added.
The evolution of the name Cossart in the last 300 years makes a very interesting study in patronymics.
The Dutch in their effort to follow phonetically the spelling of French and English names, have made it quite difficult in many cases to trace families. The Christian names were nearly always recorded in the Dutch equivalent, and some surnames as well. Jacques became Jacob, Jacobus sometimes James and occasionally Jacob. Pierre was usually termed or translated Peter.
The Huguenots were generally well educated, and most of them came from the yeomanry, but as is well known, many belonged to manoral families. The social position of the Cossarts is evidenced from the will of David, son of Jacques (3), who calls himself "Gentleman".
Arrival in New Amsterdam.
The little town of New Amsterdam, nestled upon the lower end of Manhattan Island, presented a curious appearance to the strangers. Inclosed within the limits of Wall Street and Broadway, two hundred poorly constructed houses gave partial comfort to some fourteen hundred people. The Fort loomed up broadly in front, partly hiding within the Governor's residence, and the Dutch Church. The flag of the States General and a windmill on the western bastion, were notable indications of Holland rule.
Upon his arrival at New Amsterdam, as the City of New York was then called, he and his wife Lydia Willems, joined the Dutch Church on April 1, 1663. The births of their children are recorded here.
It is evident that Jacques Cossart was not a rich man; he with six other French immigrants sent in a petition March 19th, 1663, praying for a grant of land and seed grain with provision for six months.
He was among those that took the oath of allegiance to the British flag when New Amsterdam became New York. That he was an honest man, and trusted by both the Dutch and English alike, he was subsequently appointed collector of the church tithes; and it is supposed that he remained a member of this church until his death which occured about the year 1685; for his name appears on the tax books for the year 1684 and his wifes names appears in his place for 1686 and the following years. For collecting for the support of the clergy he was allowed a commission of 4%, and for collecting for the support of the soldiers he was alIowed a commission of 7 1/2% on his receipts, with the provision that he make good from his commission whatever shall fall short'. (See Court Minutes of New Amsterdam).
In October 1664 the names of Pieter G. Stuyvesart, Jacob Cossar, together with several others, swore allegiance to the British by the following oath:
"I swear by the name of the almighty God, that I will be a true subject, to the King of Great Brittaine, and will obey all such commands, as I shall receive from his Majestie, His Royal Highness James, Duke of York, and such Governors and Officers as from time to time are appointed over me, by his authority, and none other, whilst I live in any of his Majesties territoryes: So help me God." (See Documents relating to the Colonial History of the State of New York, 1853; Vol. III, by Broadhead).
In 1667 Jacques Cossart purchased a house and lot in New York City, the site of this property is now occupied by the New York Produce Exchange Building at the corner of Whitehall and Marketfield Streets. This is near the Bowling Green Park and Broadway. The tower of this building is directly over what was once the back yard to the property of Jacques.
The following is a description of the property acquired by him, the location of which was in Block D, Lot 1. "April 5, 1667 - Confirmed by Governor Nicolls to Jacques Cossart (Patents Albany IV: 39).
Recites transport Jacob Leenderston Vander Grift to Simon Jansen Romelin August 26, 1666 (See Liber B, New York Co. 101), and is by him since conveyed to Jacques Cossart.
Description: South Side Marketvelt Steegh joining on the east to Nicolas Boot; on the south to Jonas Bartletts (Bartelste); on the west to Frederick Aertsen; and on the North to said Lane; continuing in breadth on the north and south sides 20 feet 3 inches; on the east side in length 48 feet and on the west side 45 feet 6 inches, Wood measure. " (See The Inconography of Manhattan Island. The Dutch Grants, Vol. II, at page 375).
Sometime after 1673 Jacques removed to a small farm on Long Island at a place known as Bushwick (now in Brooklyn). After 1685 the name of his wife appears on an old church list as "Lydia Willems, widow of Jacques Cossart." The tax lists show that he first acquired about ten acres of land which was subsequently increased to about forty acres. Records show that in 1683 he paid a total tax on personal property and realestate of L 114. At this time he had 2 horses, 5 cows, 1 hog and 18 morgens of land.
There seems to be no record of the death of Lydia Willems, widow of Jacques Cossart. Her name does not appear on the census returns of 1698, she probably died before this date. The church buildings have all disappeared and with them most of the church books and documents. The burying grounds have disappeared likewise, and no one knows positively where he or his wife were buried. One might hazard the guess that the place of their burial now lies under the paving stones or skyscrapers of Brooklyn, and not be far from the truth.
In the Walloon Church records of Frankenthal, Germany, shows that Jacques Cossart and Lea Villemin were married there August 14, 1656.
There was a tradition among grand-children and great-grandchildren of Jacques to the effect that he had two brothers who came to America. One brother remained and the other renounced his Huguenot faith and returned to Europe to claim the family fortune. If this tradition is based on fact, this may account for Jan Cossart, a wealthy merchant of New York City, who died there about 1700. His will is of record. And also for a Dr. George Cossart living in New York City about this time. There was a Joris or George Cossart who, it is claimed returned to Europe on a ship that was never afterwards heard from. The writer has never been able to connect Jan and Joris Cossart up with other members of the Cossart family and assumes they are the traditional brothers of Jacques Cossart.
The children of Jacques Cossart and his wife, Lydia Willems (or Lea Villman) are of record as follows:
CHILDREN:
4. Lea Cossart, baptised at Frankenthal, Germany, in the Walloon Church, May 31, 1657. Is mentioned in the ship's log as aged five years in 1662. Her God-father was Philippe Le Febure, and her God-mother was Lea Lanoix, the wife of Elie Charteur (or Etie Chantem). This was the eldest child of the immigrants of which we can find no further record. It is presumed she died young.
5. Rachel Cossart, baptised in the Walloon Church at Frankenthal, Bavaria, November 11, 1658. Her God-father was Eli Charteur and her God-mother was Rachel Willmin, a step daughter of Eli Charteur. We can find no further record of Rachel. It is presumed that she died in Europe prior to the emigration of her parents.
6. Susanne Cossart, christened at Frankenthal, in the Walloon Church of that little town in the Bavarian highlands, February 3, 1661. Her God-father was Charles August, and her God-mother was Susanne Poland of that place. Susanne is mentioned in the ship's log as being 18 month old in 1662 when her parents took passage on the sailing ship the "Pumerland Church". We can find no further record of this child and it is presumed she died young.
7. Jannetje Cossart, baptised in the Dutch Church of New York City, N.Y. , November 28, 1665. She died Circa 1736. Married Jacobus Goelet of New York City.
8. Jacques (Jacob) Cossart, baptised April 11, 1668 in the Dutch Church at New York City. Died in 1731. Married Anna Maria Springsteen and they are the progenitors of the Coshow, Cashow, Cashaw, Kershaw and Kershow families.
9. David Cossart, born in New York City, July 18, 1671. Was a member of the Dutch Reformed Church of that place. Died Circa 1740. Married Styntje jorts Van Horne and they are the progenitors of the Cossatrt, Cozatt, Cassat, Cassatt etc. , families. One branch use Cozart.
10. Anthony Cossart, baptised November 19, 1673. Was a member of the Dutch Freformed Church. Died in Somerset County, N.J. Date of death unknown. Married 1st Elizabeth Tymensen Valentine; married 2nd Judith. Progenitors of the Cosad, Cozad, Casad and Cozart families."

In the census of the North Ward taken about 1703 her husband is given as David Hoesaert, household consisting of one male and one female adult, two male children and one female. The family later moved to Piscataway Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey, where on 6 Nov. 1759, Styntje Cussaar witnessed a will. On 11 Oct. (banns 18 Sept.) 1696 in the New York Dutch Reformed Church, Styntje married David Cossart, born in Flushing, Long Island, baptized 18 June 1671 in the New York Reformed Church, son of Jacques Cousseau and Lydia Willems.

1437 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
"ROBERT DE BRÉTEUIL, Knt., nicknamed “ès Blanchemains,” 2nd Earl of Leicester, Steward of England and Normandy, seigneur of Bréteuil and Paci in Normandy, son and heir, born before 1135 (adult by 1153). He married before 1155/59 PERNEL DE GRANDMESNIL, daughter of Hugh de Grandmesnil, of Hinckley, Leicestershire. They had three sons, William, Robert [3rd Earl of Leicester], and Roger [Chancellor of Scotland, Bishop of Saint Andrew], and four daughters, Arnice, Margaret (or Margery), Hawise (nun), and Pernel. He witnessed charter of his father in the period, c.1150-60. In 1172 his Norman fees consisted of 81 knights' fees of the honour of Bréteuil and 40 knights' fees of the honour of Grandmesnil. In 1173 he joined the revolt of Young King Henry, son of King Henry II of England. His English estates were confiscated and the town of Leicester was taken and burnt. King Henry II himself marched on Bréteuil, and captured and burned the place in Sept. 1173. Robert landed in England from Flanders the same month, at the head of a force of Flemings, and being joined by Hugh le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, they plundered Norwich and besieged and took the castle of Hagenet in October 1173. He and his wife were intercepted and taken prisoner at Fornham, near Bury St. Edmunds. In the king's treaty with Louis in Sept. 1174, provision was made for the earl's liberation. His castle of Leicester was demolished. His lands and honours were subsequently restored at the Council of Northampton in Jan. 1177, except for Mountsorrel Castle. He witnessed a charter of his cousin, Robert II, Count of Meulan, in 1180. In 1183 he was arrested and imprisoned with his brother-in-law, William, Earl of Gloucester. He was in attendence on the king at Christmas 1186. In 1189-90 he confirmed earlier grants to Nuneaton Priory made by Gervase Paynel, John de Cranford, and Roger Walensis. He attested a charter to the monks of Canterbury in 1189. He was present at the Coronation of King Richard I in 1189, where he carried one of the swords of state. A little after this ceremony, he departed for the Holy Land. Sometime before 1190 he confirmed the gifts of his parents to the leproserie of Bréteuil. He was a benefactor to the Abbey of Saint-Etienne of Caen, to that of Vaux-de-Cemai, to the Priories of Plessis-Grimoud and Sainte-Barbe in Auge, and also to the leproserie of Grand-Beaulieu in Chartres. At an unknown date, he granted the tithe of the fish in his fishponds at Groby, Leicestershire to Nuneaton Priory. At an unknown date, he granted one bovate of land in Groby, Leicestershire to his sister, Isabel, Countess of Northampton, which sometime in or after 1190, she gave to Nuneaton Priory with the provision that the service due be rendered to the earl of Leicester and his heirs. At an unknown date, he granted Saint-Etienne Abbey for the health of the soul of his wife, Countess Pernel, the right to have a turner in his forest of Bréteuil. SIR ROBERT DE BRÉTEUIL, 2nd Earl of Leicester, died at sea near Brindisi or in Rumania on the way to Jerusalem 31 August 1190, and was buried in Durazzo, Greece. In 1203 the king remitted to his widow, Pernel, the sum of 55 marks argent owed to Aaron, a Jew in Lincoln. In 1204 Pernel proffered 3,000 marks to have possession of Leicester, with its appurtenances, and for those fees which belonged to the honour of Grandmesnil. Saher de Quincy made counter-proffers and defeated Pernel's aims. Pernel, Countess of Leicester, died 1 April 1212.

ii. ROBERT DE BRÉTEUIL, 3rd Earl of Leicester, 2nd but eldest surviving son and heir. He married LORETTE DE BREWES (or BRAOSE), daughter of William de Brewes. They had no issue. Sometime after 1190 he granted six virgates of land in Wyken near Hinkley, Leicestershire to Nuneaton Priory, in exchange for the land of Bernard of Waltham in Waltham on the Wolds, Leicestershire. He was invested with the earldom of Leicester by King Richard I at Messina in 1191. He was captured by Philippe Auguste, King of France in 1193, while defending Rouen. Following King Philippe's conquest of Paci in Normandy in 1194 (which was confirmed by treaty by King Richard I in 1195-6), Earl Robert, who was then a captive, was forced to cede Paci as a ransom. He made two futile attempts in 1198 to recover Paci in Normandy. In 1203-4 he granted the church of Lincoln and William, Bishop of Lincoln, 16 virgates of land in Thurmaston, with his capital messuage in the same village, in augmentation of the exchange assigned for the manor of Leicester. In 1204 he and William Marshal were sent as ambassadors to negotiate a truce with King Philippe Auguste of France. ROBERT DE BRÉTEUIL, 3rd Earl of Leicester, died 20 October 1204.

“GEOFFREY FITZ PETER, Knt., of Wellsworth (in Chalton), Hampshire, Cherhill and Costow, Wiltshire, Chief Forester, Sheriff of Northamptonshire, 1184-89, 1191-94, Sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire, 1190-93, Constable of Hertford Castle, Justiciar of England, 1198-1213, Sheriff of Staffordshire, 1198, Sheriff of Yorkshire, 1198-1200, 1202-4, Sheriff of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, 1199-1204, Sheriff of Westmorland, 1199-1200, Sheriff of Hampshire, 1201-4, Sheriff of Shropshire, 1201-4, and, in right of his 1st wife, of Streadey, Berkshire, Amersharn and Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire, Pleshey, Essex, Digswell, Hertfordshire, Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, etc., younger son, born before 1145. Sometime in the period, 1157-66, he witnessed an exchange of land between Roger de Tichborne and the Bishop of Winchester. He held a fee in Cherhill, Wiltshire of new enfeoffment in 1166. Sometime in the period, c.1166-90, Elias de Studley conveyed to him his land held of the fee of William Malbanc in Heytesbury and Cherhill, Wiltshire at an annual rent of 20s. In 1184 he accounted for the farm of Kinver before the itinerant justices in Oxfordshire. He married (1st) before 25 Jan. 1184/5 BEATRICE DE SAY, daughter and co-heiress of William de Say, of Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, and Saham, Norfolk [see SAY 4.i for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Geoffrey de Mandeville [5th Earl of Essex], William de Mandeville, Knt. [6th Earl of Essex], and Henry [Dean of Wolverhampton], and two daughters, Maud and Alice. In 1186-7 King Henry II granted him the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire, to hold in fee and inheritance by the service of one knight, as his father Peter or his brother Robert held it. In the period, 1186-89, he and his two half-brothers, William and Hugh de Buckland, witnessed a charter of William, Earl of Ferrers, to Ralph Fitz Stephen. In the period, c.1189-99, he founded Shouldham Abbey, Norfolk, to which he gave the manor and the advowson of the church of Shouldham, Norfolk, together with the churches of Shouldham Thorpe, Stoke Ferry, and Wereham, Norfolk. In 1190 he obtained the lands to which his wife's grandmother, Beatrice, had become heir on the death of her nephew, William de Mandeville, Earl of Essex. From Easter 1190 he received the third penny of the county of Essex. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, Sibyl de Fiennes, daughter of Pharamus of Boulogne, conveyed to him 300 acres on Hyngeshill [?in Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire] at an annual rent of an unmewed sparrowhawk, or 12d. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, he granted the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire to his younger son, William de Mandeville. He was one of those excommunicated for his part in removing Longchamp in 1191. About 1195 he and his half-brothers, William and Geoffrey de Buckland, witnessed a charter of Geoffrey Fitz Nigel de Gardino to William de Ultra la Haia. In 1195 he owed £4 4s. in the vill of Lydford, Devon for making the market of the king there. His wife, Beatrice, died in childbed before 19 April 1197. Her body was initially buried in Chicksands Priory, Bedfordshire, but later transferred to Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1198 Eustace de Balliol and his wife, Pernel (widow of Geoffrey's brother Robert), quitclaimed all their right to lands in Salthrop (in Wroughton), Wiltshire to Geoffrey, in return for 30 marks silver. He was present at the Coronation of King John 27 May 1199, where he was girded with the sword of earl. In the period, 1199-1216, Geoffrey gave Shouldham Priory, Norfolk twelve shops, with the rooms over them, in the parish of St. Mary's Colechurch, London, for the purpose of sustaining the lights of the church and of providing the sacramental wine. Sometime in or before 1199, he made a grant to William de Wrotham, Archdeacon of Taunton, of all his land of Sutton at Hone, Kent to make a hospital for the maintenance of thirteen poor men and three chaplains in honour of the Holy Trinity, St. Mary, and All Saints. He was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Amersham, Buckinghamshire and Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire in 1200. In the period, 1200-13, he made notification that Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster had at his petition confirmed to the nuns of Shouldham all tithes pertaining to them in Clakelose Hundred, Norfolk, in return for £1 10s. due annually to the almoner of Westminster. In the same period, Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster granted him the vill of Claygate, Surrey to hold of them for his lifetime. In 1204 King John granted him the manor of Winterslow, Wiltshire, and, in 1205, the honour of Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire with the castle at a fee farm of £100 per annum. Geoffrey married (2nd) before 29 May 1205 (date of grant) AVELINE DE CLARE, widow of William de Munchensy, of Swanscombe, Kent, Winfarthing and Gooderstone, Norfolk, etc. (died shortly before 7 May 1204) [see CLARE 4.ii], and daughter of Roger de Clare, Earl of Clare or Hertford, by Maud, daughter and heiress of James de Saint Hilary [see CLARE 4 for her ancestry]. They had one son, John, Knt, and four daughters, Hawise, Cecily, ___, and Maud. He campaigned against the Welsh in 1206 and 1210. He was granted a significant part of the lands forfeited by Normans, including the manors of Depden and Hatfield Peverel, Essex, and other lands in Norfolk and Suffolk, all worth over £100 per annum. In 1207 the king confirmed his possession of the manor of Notgrove, Gloucestershire, which Geoffrey had by the gift of John Eskelling. The same year he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Moretonhampstead, Devon. Sometime before 1212, he was granted the manor of Gussage Dynaunt (or Gussage St. Michael), Dorset, which manor was forfeited by Roland de Dinan. At some unspecified date, when already earl, he granted all his right in St. Peter's chapel in Drayton to the canons of St. Peter's Cathedral, York. He was the founder of the first church of Whitney Priory, Hampshire. SIR GEOFFREY FITZ PETER, Earl of Essex, died 14 October 1213, and was buried in Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1213-4 the king commanded Geoffrey de Buckland to let the king have, at the price any others would give for them, the corn, pigs, and other chattels at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire which belonged his brother, Geoffrey Fitz Peter, lately deceased. About 1214 his widow, Aveline, granted the canons of Holy Trinity, London, in frank almoin, a half mark quit rent out of her manor of Towcester, Northamptonshire, part of whose body is buried there. In 1221 the Prior of the Hospital of Jerusalem in England sued her regarding two virgates and five acres of land in Towcester, Northamptonshire. Aveline, Countess of Essex, died before 4 June 1225.

“WILLIAM DE FERRERS, Knt., of Groby (in Ratby), Leicestershire, Woodham Ferris, Stebbing, and Fairstead, Essex, Ware, Hertfordshire, Newbottle, Northamptonshire, Constable of Scotland, 2nd son, born about 1240. In 1251 his father gave him the manor and advowson of Woodham, the manor of Stebbing, the capital messuage at Chiche (now St. Osyth), and lands in Fairstead, Essex, to hold in tail general, by the service of five knights' fees. Between four and five years later, before he was of age, he had livery of these lands; subsequently he exchanged them with his mother for lands in Scotland and Galloway, but he again had entry therein, with her consent, 16 days before her death in Feb. 1280/1. About 1260 his brother, Robert de Ferrers, Earl of Derby, gave him the manor of Bolton (in Great Bolton), Lancashire, together with all his lands in the wapentake of Leyland, Lancashire, including the manors of Bispham, Bolton, Bretherton, Charnock (in Chamock Richard), Chorley, Duxbury, Heath Chamock, Mawdesley, Shevington, and Welch Whittle, Lancashire. He married (1st) in 1270 ANNE DURWARD, widow of Colban of Fife, Knt., 8th Earl of Fife (died 1270), and daughter and co-heiress of Alan Durward, Knt., of Coull and Lumphanan, Aberdeenshire, Lintrathen, Angus, Lundin, Fife, Reedie (in Airlie), Forfarshire, Urquhart, Moray, etc., Usher of the King of Scots, Justiciar of Scotland, by Marjory, illegitimate daughter of Alexander II, King of Scots [see SCOTLAND 5.i for her ancestry]. They had one son, William, Knt. [1st Lord Ferrers of Groby]. He was summoned for military service from 18 March 1263/4 to 14 March 1282/3. He was among the prisoners taken after the conflict at Northampton 5 or 6 April 1264, and was committed by Edward the king's son to the custody of Roger de Leybourne. Roger demanded an excessive ransom, threatening to take him to Ireland if he did not pay it; on 5 Jan. 1264/5 Roger was ordered to release him and let him come to the king. William was admitted to the king's presence and pardoned all trespasses committed by him up to 11 July 1266. Sometime before 1272 he gave to Charley Priory, Leicestershire 5-1/2 acres near their sheepfold, for the purpose of enlarging the courtyard of the priory; he likewise gave the same priory 30 acres of land in the Milne-leghs by Charley, Leicestershire. His wife, Anne, was co-heiress in 1275 to her father, by which she inherited the baronies of Coull, O'Neill, and Lumphanan, Aberdeenshire. In 1275-6 Adam de Holand claimed and recovered 16 acres in Buxton, Lancashire of William de Ferrers. In 1277-8 Henry de Asteleg' arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Chorley, Lancashire. In the same period, William son of Henry de Holecroft arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching common of pasture in Chorley, Lancashire. In May 1280 the king permitted William to retain the manor of Groby (in Ratby), Leicestershire, of which his mother had enfeoffed him, for a fine of 40 marks. In 1280-1 Henry le Fevre arraigned an assize against him touching a fosse levied in Chorley, Lancashire. In 1280-1 he arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against John de Roselis touching a tenement in Newbotde, Northamptonshire. He was with the king in the army of Wales in 1282. He was summoned to attend the king at Shrewsbury 28 June 1283, by writ directed Willelmo de Ferrariis. He was summoned to a military council 14 June 1287. He married (2nd) ELEANOR DE LOVAINE, daughter of Matthew de Lovaine, Knt., of Little Easton, Essex, by his wife, Muriel. SIR WILLIAM DE FERRERS died shortly before 20 Dec. 1287. In 1288 custody of his lands was granted to Nicholas de Segrave [the younger] for a fine of 100 marks and £160 per annum. His widow, Eleanor, subsequently journeyed to Scotland with the view of obtaining possession of the jointure to which she was entitled from the lands held by her deceased husband in Scotland. She was abducted by WILLIAM DE DOUGLAS, Knt., nicknamed The Hardy, of Douglas, Lanarkshire, Faudon, Northumberland, etc., from the manor of Ellen la Zouche at Tranent, East Lothian, Scotland shortly before 28 Jan. 1288/9, on which date the Sheriff of Northumberland was ordered to take his lands into the king's hand and arrest and imprison him. Douglas was imprisoned in Leeds Castle, Kent, but was released 15 May 1290. Upon the payment of a fine of £100, the marriage of Eleanor was granted to him 18 Feb. 1290/1, which marriage soon afterwards took place, she becoming his second wife. They had two sons, Hugh [clerk] and Archibald, Knt. He is first mentioned in 1256, when his father, William de Douglas, Knt., declared before a court that he had provided him lands in Warndon, Northumberland, with two guardians, as he was then under age. In 1267 he was severely wounded in defense of his father's house at Faudon, Northumberland. In 1288 he imprisoned Hugh de Abernethy, Knt., in his castle of Douglas, who was one of the assassins of Duncan, Earl of Fife. In 1291 he was commanded by King Edward I of England to release the prisoner to William de St. Clare. The same year he and other Scottish magnates did homage to King Edward I as Lord Paramount of Scotland. He was one of the barons who disregarded the summons calling upon them to attend the first Parliament held by John de Balliol as King of Scotland 10 Feb. 1292. Shortly afterwards he refused to pay part of his mother's jointure, in consequence of which she proceeded against him before the justiciaries and obtained a judgment, appointing her to be infeft in certain lands, and awarding her 140 marks in damages. When the officers of the king proceeded to Douglas to execute this decree, he seized them and confined them for a night. He was arraigned before the king's second Parliament held at Sterling 3 August 1293. He pleaded that the officers were wrong in levying the damages so soon. He was, nevertheless, found guilty, and committed to prison, but soon released. In October 1295 he was appointed Governor of Berwick Castle when that place was besieged by King Edward I of England. The town having been taken by storm 30 March, he capitulated the same day on security for life and limb. After swearing fealty to the English monarch 10 June 1296, his lands in the shires of Fife, Edinburgh, Berwick, Dumfries, and Wigtown were restored to him by special favor; his manor of Fawdon, Northumberland, however, was made over to Gilbert de Umfreville, Earl of Angus. His submission was of short duration, however, for he soon joined Wallace in the spring of 1297, in consequence of which Robert de Brus laid waste his lands in Douglasdale, and carried his wife and family captive into Annandale. He obtained possession of Sanquhar Castle by stratagem, in which place he was besieged until relieved by Wallace. He was one of the leaders of the Scottish host, when in the neighborhood of Irvine, it found itself in the presence of the English army under the command of Percy 9 July 1297. He was one of the chief negotiators of the Treaty of Irvine then made, which treaty failed to secure the submission of Scotland. Finding that many of the barons for whom he had acted drew back from the agreement and delayed the delivery of their hostages, he considered himself bound in honor to surrender to the English generals, by whom he was conveyed to Roxburgh. On 12 October following, SIR WILLIAM DE DOUGLAS was sent to the Tower 12 October 1297, where he died shortly before 24 Jan. 1298/9. After his death, the lands which his widow, Eleanor, held in dower of her first husband were restored to her, those in England 24 Jan. 1298/9, and those in Scotland 22 July 1302. In 1305 she sued Robert de Umfreville and Lucy his wife for dower in the manor of Faudon (in Ingram), Northumberland. Eleanor married (39 shortly after 8 April 1305 (date of license to marry) WILLIAM BAGOT, Knt., of The Hyde (in Coppenhall) and Patshull, Staffordshire, son and heir of William Bagot, Knt., of The Hyde (in Coppenhall) and Patshull, Staffordshire, by his wife, Isabel. They had no issue. In 1295 John parson of Weston under Brewood sued him and his brother, Robert Bagot, clerk, for deforcing him of four acres of wood and 40 acres of pasture in Wilbrighton, Staffordshire. In 1296 he was about to proceed to Gascony with Robert Fitz Walter in the retinue of Edmund the king's brother. In 1297, as “William Bagod, junior,” he recovered a messuage and a carucate of land in Patshull, Staffordshire in a suit against Roger Peye. He was serving in Scotland in 1298, 1300, 1301, and 1306. In 1303 he obtained a grant of free warren in his demesne lands at The Hyde (in Coppenhall), Staffordshire. In 1305 the manors of The Hyde (in Coppenhall) and Patshull, Staffordshire were settled on him and his wife, Eleanor. In 1313 one messuage and a carucate of land in Wilbrighton, Staffordshire was settled on William and Eleanor, and the heirs of their bodies, with reversion to Archibald de Douglas, son of Eleanor. At an unknown date, William conveyed the manor of The Hyde (in Coppenhall), Staffordshire to Ralph de Stafford, Lord Stafford. He also sold the manor of Patshull, Staffordshire. SIR WILLIAM BAGOT died about 1324. In 1326 she conveyed her life interest in the manor of The Hyde (in Coppenhall) to Ralph de Stafford, Lord Stafford. She was living in 1327. At her death, she was buried in Dunmow Priory, Essex.

In 1335 his widow, Beatrice, was residing in the fortress of Cumbernauld, when it was besieged by the English. She and other noble ladies were compelled to surrender, but apparently were not kept prisoners very long. Sometime in the period, 1335-8, Duncan, Earl of Fife, granted the barony of West Calder, Midlothian to Beatrice and her son and heir, John de Douglas. Beatrice married (2nd) (as his 1st wife) ROBERT DE ERSKINE, Knt., of Erskine, High Chamberlain of Scotland, 1350-7,1363-4, Keeper of Stirling Castle, son and heir of William de Erskine, Knt. They had two sons, Thomas, Knt. and Nicholas (of Kinnoull), and one daughter, Marion (wife of Maurice Drummond, of Concraig). At an unknown date, he had a charter of lands in the holding of Erskine by Robert Stewart, Steward of Scotland, which grant was confirmed by the king in 1352. His wife, Beatrice, died before 1352. In some private quarrel, he wounded and imprisoned Walter de Menteith and his brother. To appease the feud thus engendered, a marriage was arranged about 1352 between him and Walter de Menteith's kinswoman, Christian Menteith, widow of Edward Keith, Knt., of Sinton, and daughter of John Menteith, Knt, of Arran, Strathgartney, and Knapdale. He and Christian were subsequently dispensed 6 March 1355 to remain in marriage, she and his 1st wife, Beatrice, being related in the 4th degree of consanguinity. They had no surviving issue. He was very active in promoting the release of King David II. In 1357 he was one of the Scottish plenipotentiaries sent to treat with England regarding the king's ransom. He was employed on several embassies, chiefly to England, but also to the French and Papal Courts. In 1358 he had a charter from Thomas, Earl of Mar, of the lands of Garioch. In 1361 he granted Kintulach, Perthshire to Cambuskenneth Abbey. In 1362 he granted the patronage of the church of Kinnoull to the same abbey. In 1368 he received a charter conferring on him and his wife, Christian, the lands of Alloa, Galbardstoun, Isle of Clackmannan, the New Park near Stirling, land called Brewhaugh in the Forest of Clackmannan, plus other lands. He did homage at the Coronation of King Robert II in 1371. In 1373 he exchanged the lands of Ednam for an annual rent of £100. In 1376 he resigned the barony of Dun, Forfarshire to his son, Thomas. He was a frequent attender of Parliament and Council up to 1384. SIR ROBERT DE ERSKINE died shortly before Martinmas 1385. His widow, Christian, died about 1387.

Children of Archibald de Douglas, Knt., by Beatrice de Lindsay:
a. JOHN DE DOUGLAS. He is mentioned in a charter dated 1335-8, as heir of his mother. He may be the John de Douglas who was at the court of King David II of Scotland in 1338-9. He appears to have accompanied King David II to Normandy, and in 1340 formed one of his household at Château Gaillard. He died without issue overseas before 29 May 1342, when the Douglas estates were settled on his younger brother, William, as heir of their father. Scots Peerage 3 (1906): 142 (sub Earl of Douglas). Watt Biog. Dict. of Scottish Graduates to A.D. 1410 (1977): 153 (biog. of John de Douglas).
b. WILLIAM DE DOUGLAS, Knt., 2nd son but only surviving son. He was heir in or before 1342 to his older brother, John de Douglas. He distinguished himself against the English in Scotland, 1346-56. He slew his kinsman, William de Douglas, of Liddesdale, in August 1353. He was wounded at the Battle of Poitiers 19 Sept. 1356. He married probably shortly before 13 Nov. 1357 MARGARET OF MAR, daughter of Donald, Earl of Mar, by Isabel Stewart. They had one son, James, Knt. [Earl of Douglas and Mar] [see BRUS 10.viii], and one daughter, Isabel [Countess of Mar and Garioch] (wife of Malcolm de Drummond, Knt., Lord of Mar, and Alexander Stewart, Knt., Earl of Mar and Garioch [see BRUS 10.iv.a]). By his sister-in-law, Margaret, Countess of Mar and Angus, he had one illegitimate son, George [1st Earl of Angus] [see BRUS 11.v]. By an unknown mistress, he also had two illegitimate daughters, Joan (wife of William Dacre, Knt., 5th Lord Dacre of Gilsland) and Margaret (wife of Thomas Johnson). He was present in the Parliament of Scotland held 20 Sept. 1397. In the following January, probably on the 26th, he was created Earl of Douglas. He attended the Coronation of King Robert II at Scone 26 March 1371. His wife, Margaret, was heiress c.1374 to her brother, Thomas, Earl of Mar, Lord of Garioch, by which she became suo jure Countess of Mar. SIR WILLIAM DE DOUGLAS, Earl of Douglas and Mar, died at Douglas in May 1384, and was buried at Melrose. His widow, Margaret, married (2nd) between 1385 and 27 July 1388 (as his 1st wife) JOHN DE SWINTON, Knt., of Swinton, and, in right of his wife, Lord of Mar. They had no issue. Margaret, Countess of Douglas and Mar, was living 5 Dec. 1389, and apparently 18 March 1390/1, but died before 22 Nov. 1393 (when her daughter is styled Countess of Mar).

c. ELEANOR DE DOUGLAS, married (1st) ALEXANDER DE BRUS, Earl of Carrick [see BRUS 7.v.a], illegitimate son of Edward de Brus, Earl of Carrick, by Isabel, daughter of John de Strathbogie, Earl of Atholl [see BRUS 7.v for his ancestry]. They had no issue. He was slain at the Battle of Halidon Hill 19 July 1333. She married (2nd) JAMES DE SANDILANDS, Knt., of Calder, Midlothian. They had two sons, James, Knt., and Patrick. In 1350 he and his wife, Eleanor, obtained a papal indult to choose confessors. In May 1350 King David II confirmed the charter of William de Douglas, lord of Douglas, granting to James de Sandilands and his wife, Lady Eleanor de Brus (sister of the said William de Douglas) the barony of West Calder, Midlothian in free marriage. SIR JAMES DE SANDILANDS died in 1358. In May 1358 Eleanor de Brus, Countess of Carrick, was granted safe-conduct to go to England with Queen Joan of England, wife of King David II of Scotland.

1445 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“WILLIAM DE FERRERS, Knt., of Groby (in Ratby), Leicestershire, Woodham Ferris, Stebbing, and Fairstead, Essex, Ware, Hertfordshire, Newbottle, Northamptonshire, Constable of Scotland, 2nd son, born about 1240. In 1251 his father gave him the manor and advowson of Woodham, the manor of Stebbing, the capital messuage at Chiche (now St. Osyth), and lands in Fairstead, Essex, to hold in tail general, by the service of five knights' fees. Between four and five years later, before he was of age, he had livery of these lands; subsequently he exchanged them with his mother for lands in Scotland and Galloway, but he again had entry therein, with her consent, 16 days before her death in Feb. 1280/1. About 1260 his brother, Robert de Ferrers, Earl of Derby, gave him the manor of Bolton (in Great Bolton), Lancashire, together with all his lands in the wapentake of Leyland, Lancashire, including the manors of Bispham, Bolton, Bretherton, Charnock (in Chamock Richard), Chorley, Duxbury, Heath Chamock, Mawdesley, Shevington, and Welch Whittle, Lancashire. He married (1st) in 1270 ANNE DURWARD, widow of Colban of Fife, Knt., 8th Earl of Fife (died 1270), and daughter and co-heiress of Alan Durward, Knt., of Coull and Lumphanan, Aberdeenshire, Lintrathen, Angus, Lundin, Fife, Reedie (in Airlie), Forfarshire, Urquhart, Moray, etc., Usher of the King of Scots, Justiciar of Scotland, by Marjory, illegitimate daughter of Alexander II, King of Scots [see SCOTLAND 5.i for her ancestry]. They had one son, William, Knt. [1st Lord Ferrers of Groby]. He was summoned for military service from 18 March 1263/4 to 14 March 1282/3. He was among the prisoners taken after the conflict at Northampton 5 or 6 April 1264, and was committed by Edward the king's son to the custody of Roger de Leybourne. Roger demanded an excessive ransom, threatening to take him to Ireland if he did not pay it; on 5 Jan. 1264/5 Roger was ordered to release him and let him come to the king. William was admitted to the king's presence and pardoned all trespasses committed by him up to 11 July 1266. Sometime before 1272 he gave to Charley Priory, Leicestershire 5-1/2 acres near their sheepfold, for the purpose of enlarging the courtyard of the priory; he likewise gave the same priory 30 acres of land in the Milne-leghs by Charley, Leicestershire. His wife, Anne, was co-heiress in 1275 to her father, by which she inherited the baronies of Coull, O'Neill, and Lumphanan, Aberdeenshire. In 1275-6 Adam de Holand claimed and recovered 16 acres in Buxton, Lancashire of William de Ferrers. In 1277-8 Henry de Asteleg' arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Chorley, Lancashire. In the same period, William son of Henry de Holecroft arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching common of pasture in Chorley, Lancashire. In May 1280 the king permitted William to retain the manor of Groby (in Ratby), Leicestershire, of which his mother had enfeoffed him, for a fine of 40 marks. In 1280-1 Henry le Fevre arraigned an assize against him touching a fosse levied in Chorley, Lancashire. In 1280-1 he arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against John de Roselis touching a tenement in Newbotde, Northamptonshire. He was with the king in the army of Wales in 1282. He was summoned to attend the king at Shrewsbury 28 June 1283, by writ directed Willelmo de Ferrariis. He was summoned to a military council 14 June 1287. He married (2nd) ELEANOR DE LOVAINE, daughter of Matthew de Lovaine, Knt., of Little Easton, Essex, by his wife, Muriel. SIR WILLIAM DE FERRERS died shortly before 20 Dec. 1287. In 1288 custody of his lands was granted to Nicholas de Segrave [the younger] for a fine of 100 marks and £160 per annum. His widow, Eleanor, subsequently journeyed to Scotland with the view of obtaining possession of the jointure to which she was entitled from the lands held by her deceased husband in Scotland. She was abducted by WILLIAM DE DOUGLAS, Knt., nicknamed The Hardy, of Douglas, Lanarkshire, Faudon, Northumberland, etc., from the manor of Ellen la Zouche at Tranent, East Lothian, Scotland shortly before 28 Jan. 1288/9, on which date the Sheriff of Northumberland was ordered to take his lands into the king's hand and arrest and imprison him. Douglas was imprisoned in Leeds Castle, Kent, but was released 15 May 1290. Upon the payment of a fine of £100, the marriage of Eleanor was granted to him 18 Feb. 1290/1, which marriage soon afterwards took place, she becoming his second wife. They had two sons, Hugh [clerk] and Archibald, Knt. He is first mentioned in 1256, when his father, William de Douglas, Knt., declared before a court that he had provided him lands in Warndon, Northumberland, with two guardians, as he was then under age. In 1267 he was severely wounded in defense of his father's house at Faudon, Northumberland. In 1288 he imprisoned Hugh de Abernethy, Knt., in his castle of Douglas, who was one of the assassins of Duncan, Earl of Fife. In 1291 he was commanded by King Edward I of England to release the prisoner to William de St. Clare. The same year he and other Scottish magnates did homage to King Edward I as Lord Paramount of Scotland. He was one of the barons who disregarded the summons calling upon them to attend the first Parliament held by John de Balliol as King of Scotland 10 Feb. 1292. Shortly afterwards he refused to pay part of his mother's jointure, in consequence of which she proceeded against him before the justiciaries and obtained a judgment, appointing her to be infeft in certain lands, and awarding her 140 marks in damages. When the officers of the king proceeded to Douglas to execute this decree, he seized them and confined them for a night. He was arraigned before the king's second Parliament held at Sterling 3 August 1293. He pleaded that the officers were wrong in levying the damages so soon. He was, nevertheless, found guilty, and committed to prison, but soon released. In October 1295 he was appointed Governor of Berwick Castle when that place was besieged by King Edward I of England. The town having been taken by storm 30 March, he capitulated the same day on security for life and limb. After swearing fealty to the English monarch 10 June 1296, his lands in the shires of Fife, Edinburgh, Berwick, Dumfries, and Wigtown were restored to him by special favor; his manor of Fawdon, Northumberland, however, was made over to Gilbert de Umfreville, Earl of Angus. His submission was of short duration, however, for he soon joined Wallace in the spring of 1297, in consequence of which Robert de Brus laid waste his lands in Douglasdale, and carried his wife and family captive into Annandale. He obtained possession of Sanquhar Castle by stratagem, in which place he was besieged until relieved by Wallace. He was one of the leaders of the Scottish host, when in the neighborhood of Irvine, it found itself in the presence of the English army under the command of Percy 9 July 1297. He was one of the chief negotiators of the Treaty of Irvine then made, which treaty failed to secure the submission of Scotland. Finding that many of the barons for whom he had acted drew back from the agreement and delayed the delivery of their hostages, he considered himself bound in honor to surrender to the English generals, by whom he was conveyed to Roxburgh. On 12 October following, SIR WILLIAM DE DOUGLAS was sent to the Tower 12 October 1297, where he died shortly before 24 Jan. 1298/9. After his death, the lands which his widow, Eleanor, held in dower of her first husband were restored to her, those in England 24 Jan. 1298/9, and those in Scotland 22 July 1302. In 1305 she sued Robert de Umfreville and Lucy his wife for dower in the manor of Faudon (in Ingram), Northumberland. Eleanor married (39 shortly after 8 April 1305 (date of license to marry) WILLIAM BAGOT, Knt., of The Hyde (in Coppenhall) and Patshull, Staffordshire, son and heir of William Bagot, Knt., of The Hyde (in Coppenhall) and Patshull, Staffordshire, by his wife, Isabel. They had no issue. In 1295 John parson of Weston under Brewood sued him and his brother, Robert Bagot, clerk, for deforcing him of four acres of wood and 40 acres of pasture in Wilbrighton, Staffordshire. In 1296 he was about to proceed to Gascony with Robert Fitz Walter in the retinue of Edmund the king's brother. In 1297, as “William Bagod, junior,” he recovered a messuage and a carucate of land in Patshull, Staffordshire in a suit against Roger Peye. He was serving in Scotland in 1298, 1300, 1301, and 1306. In 1303 he obtained a grant of free warren in his demesne lands at The Hyde (in Coppenhall), Staffordshire. In 1305 the manors of The Hyde (in Coppenhall) and Patshull, Staffordshire were settled on him and his wife, Eleanor. In 1313 one messuage and a carucate of land in Wilbrighton, Staffordshire was settled on William and Eleanor, and the heirs of their bodies, with reversion to Archibald de Douglas, son of Eleanor. At an unknown date, William conveyed the manor of The Hyde (in Coppenhall), Staffordshire to Ralph de Stafford, Lord Stafford. He also sold the manor of Patshull, Staffordshire. SIR WILLIAM BAGOT died about 1324. In 1326 she conveyed her life interest in the manor of The Hyde (in Coppenhall) to Ralph de Stafford, Lord Stafford. She was living in 1327. At her death, she was buried in Dunmow Priory, Essex.

i. HUGH DE DOUGLAS, clerk. He was born about 1294 (aged 2 in 1296). He was taken into custody at his father's manor of Stebbing, Essex when aged nearly two, at a time when his father was in rebellion against King Edward I of England. He became Canon of Glasgow before 17 May 1325, when he was noted as being absent from the meeting of the Glasgow chapter. He witnessed an act of John de Lindsay, Bishop of Glasgow in 1329. He was heir in 1333 to his nephew, William de Douglas, lord of Douglas, son of his older half-brother, James de Douglas. He made various grants from his inheritance in the period, 1332 12, including grants as lord of Douglas at Edinburgh dated 1342. He resigned the whole Douglas inheritance to the king at Aberdeen 26 May 1342; three days later it was granted to his. nephew, William de Douglas, Knt., afterwards 1st Earl of Douglas. He retained his tight as Prebendary of Old Roxburgh held in the Cathedral church of Glasgow until 8 Feb. 1347/8, when he resigned this position through his proctor on exchange for the church of Skirling, Peeblesshire. About 1362 he was still owing annates for this church, but he was described by the collector in his accounts as imp otens in facultatibus. He died unmarried.

ii. ARCHIBALD DE DOUGLAS, Knt., of Liddesdale, Regent of Scotland, 1333. He married BEATRICE DE LINDSAY, daughter of Alexander de Lindsay, of Crawford. They had two sons, John and William, Knt. [Earl of Douglas and Mar], and one daughter, Eleanor. In 1320 the king granted him lands in Morebattle, Roxburghshite and Kirkandrews, Dumfriesshire. In 1324 he was granted the lands of Rattray Orimond, Carnglass, and others in Buchan. He acted in vigorous opposition to the claims of Edward de Balliol to the Scottish throne. In 1332 Gilbert son of Robert de Umfreville sued him regarding the manor of Faudon (in Ingram), Northumberland. SIR ARCHIBALD DE DOUGLAS was slain at the Battle of Halidon Hill 19 July 1333. At the time of his death, he owned the baronies of Cavers, Drumlanrig, Terregles, and Westcalder, and part of Conveth in Aberdeenshire. In 1335 his widow, Beatrice, was residing in the fortress of Cumbernauld, when it was besieged by the English. She and other noble ladies were compelled to surrender, but apparently were not kept prisoners very long. Sometime in the period, 1335-8, Duncan, Earl of Fife, granted the barony of West Calder, Midlothian to Beatrice and her son and heir, John de Douglas. Beatrice married (2nd) (as his 1st wife) ROBERT DE ERSKINE, Knt., of Erskine, High Chamberlain of Scotland, 1350-7,1363-4, Keeper of Stirling Castle, son and heir of William de Erskine, Knt. They had two sons, Thomas, Knt. and Nicholas (of Kinnoull), and one daughter, Marion (wife of Maurice Drummond, of Concraig). At an unknown date, he had a charter of lands in the holding of Erskine by Robert Stewart, Steward of Scotland, which grant was confirmed by the king in 1352. His wife, Beatrice, died before 1352. In some private quarrel, he wounded and imprisoned Walter de Menteith and his brother. To appease the feud thus engendered, a marriage was arranged about 1352 between him and Walter de Menteith's kinswoman, Christian Menteith, widow of Edward Keith, Knt., of Sinton, and daughter of John Menteith, Knt, of Arran, Strathgartney, and Knapdale. He and Christian were subsequently dispensed 6 March 1355 to remain in marriage, she and his 1st wife, Beatrice, being related in the 4th degree of consanguinity. They had no surviving issue. He was very active in promoting the release of King David II. In 1357 he was one of the Scottish plenipotentiaries sent to treat with England regarding the king's ransom. He was employed on several embassies, chiefly to England, but also to the French and Papal Courts. In 1358 he had a charter from Thomas, Earl of Mar, of the lands of Garioch. In 1361 he granted Kintulach, Perthshire to Cambuskenneth Abbey. In 1362 he granted the patronage of the church of Kinnoull to the same abbey. In 1368 he received a charter conferring on him and his wife, Christian, the lands of Alloa, Galbardstoun, Isle of Clackmannan, the New Park near Stirling, land called Brewhaugh in the Forest of Clackmannan, plus other lands. He did homage at the Coronation of King Robert II in 1371. In 1373 he exchanged the lands of Ednam for an annual rent of £100. In 1376 he resigned the barony of Dun, Forfarshire to his son, Thomas. He was a frequent attender of Parliament and Council up to 1384. SIR ROBERT DE ERSKINE died shortly before Martinmas 1385. His widow, Christian, died about 1387.

Children of Archibald de Douglas, Knt., by Beatrice de Lindsay:
a. JOHN DE DOUGLAS. He is mentioned in a charter dated 1335-8, as heir of his mother. He may be the John de Douglas who was at the court of King David II of Scotland in 1338-9. He appears to have accompanied King David II to Normandy, and in 1340 formed one of his household at Château Gaillard. He died without issue overseas before 29 May 1342, when the Douglas estates were settled on his younger brother, William, as heir of their father. Scots Peerage 3 (1906): 142 (sub Earl of Douglas). Watt Biog. Dict. of Scottish Graduates to A.D. 1410 (1977): 153 (biog. of John de Douglas).
b. WILLIAM DE DOUGLAS, Knt., 2nd son but only surviving son. He was heir in or before 1342 to his older brother, John de Douglas. He distinguished himself against the English in Scotland, 1346-56. He slew his kinsman, William de Douglas, of Liddesdale, in August 1353. He was wounded at the Battle of Poitiers 19 Sept. 1356. He married probably shortly before 13 Nov. 1357 MARGARET OF MAR, daughter of Donald, Earl of Mar, by Isabel Stewart. They had one son, James, Knt. [Earl of Douglas and Mar] [see BRUS 10.viii], and one daughter, Isabel [Countess of Mar and Garioch] (wife of Malcolm de Drummond, Knt., Lord of Mar, and Alexander Stewart, Knt., Earl of Mar and Garioch [see BRUS 10.iv.a]). By his sister-in-law, Margaret, Countess of Mar and Angus, he had one illegitimate son, George [1st Earl of Angus] [see BRUS 11.v]. By an unknown mistress, he also had two illegitimate daughters, Joan (wife of William Dacre, Knt., 5th Lord Dacre of Gilsland) and Margaret (wife of Thomas Johnson). He was present in the Parliament of Scotland held 20 Sept. 1397. In the following January, probably on the 26th, he was created Earl of Douglas. He attended the Coronation of King Robert II at Scone 26 March 1371. His wife, Margaret, was heiress c.1374 to her brother, Thomas, Earl of Mar, Lord of Garioch, by which she became suo jure Countess of Mar. SIR WILLIAM DE DOUGLAS, Earl of Douglas and Mar, died at Douglas in May 1384, and was buried at Melrose. His widow, Margaret, married (2nd) between 1385 and 27 July 1388 (as his 1st wife) JOHN DE SWINTON, Knt., of Swinton, and, in right of his wife, Lord of Mar. They had no issue. Margaret, Countess of Douglas and Mar, was living 5 Dec. 1389, and apparently 18 March 1390/1, but died before 22 Nov. 1393 (when her daughter is styled Countess of Mar).

“WILLIAM DE FERRERS, Knt., of Groby (in Ratby), Leicestershire, Woodham Ferris, Stebbing, and Fairstead, Essex, Ware, Hertfordshire, Newbottle, Northamptonshire, Constable of Scotland, 2nd son, born about 1240. In 1251 his father gave him the manor and advowson of Woodham, the manor of Stebbing, the capital messuage at Chiche (now St. Osyth), and lands in Fairstead, Essex, to hold in tail general, by the service of five knights' fees. Between four and five years later, before he was of age, he had livery of these lands; subsequently he exchanged them with his mother for lands in Scotland and Galloway, but he again had entry therein, with her consent, 16 days before her death in Feb. 1280/1. About 1260 his brother, Robert de Ferrers, Earl of Derby, gave him the manor of Bolton (in Great Bolton), Lancashire, together with all his lands in the wapentake of Leyland, Lancashire, including the manors of Bispham, Bolton, Bretherton, Charnock (in Chamock Richard), Chorley, Duxbury, Heath Chamock, Mawdesley, Shevington, and Welch Whittle, Lancashire. He married (1st) in 1270 ANNE DURWARD, widow of Colban of Fife, Knt., 8th Earl of Fife (died 1270), and daughter and co-heiress of Alan Durward, Knt., of Coull and Lumphanan, Aberdeenshire, Lintrathen, Angus, Lundin, Fife, Reedie (in Airlie), Forfarshire, Urquhart, Moray, etc., Usher of the King of Scots, Justiciar of Scotland, by Marjory, illegitimate daughter of Alexander II, King of Scots [see SCOTLAND 5.i for her ancestry]. They had one son, William, Knt. [1st Lord Ferrers of Groby]. He was summoned for military service from 18 March 1263/4 to 14 March 1282/3. He was among the prisoners taken after the conflict at Northampton 5 or 6 April 1264, and was committed by Edward the king's son to the custody of Roger de Leybourne. Roger demanded an excessive ransom, threatening to take him to Ireland if he did not pay it; on 5 Jan. 1264/5 Roger was ordered to release him and let him come to the king. William was admitted to the king's presence and pardoned all trespasses committed by him up to 11 July 1266. Sometime before 1272 he gave to Charley Priory, Leicestershire 5-1/2 acres near their sheepfold, for the purpose of enlarging the courtyard of the priory; he likewise gave the same priory 30 acres of land in the Milne-leghs by Charley, Leicestershire. His wife, Anne, was co-heiress in 1275 to her father, by which she inherited the baronies of Coull, O'Neill, and Lumphanan, Aberdeenshire. In 1275-6 Adam de Holand claimed and recovered 16 acres in Buxton, Lancashire of William de Ferrers. In 1277-8 Henry de Asteleg' arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Chorley, Lancashire. In the same period, William son of Henry de Holecroft arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching common of pasture in Chorley, Lancashire. In May 1280 the king permitted William to retain the manor of Groby (in Ratby), Leicestershire, of which his mother had enfeoffed him, for a fine of 40 marks. In 1280-1 Henry le Fevre arraigned an assize against him touching a fosse levied in Chorley, Lancashire. In 1280-1 he arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against John de Roselis touching a tenement in Newbotde, Northamptonshire. He was with the king in the army of Wales in 1282. He was summoned to attend the king at Shrewsbury 28 June 1283, by writ directed Willelmo de Ferrariis. He was summoned to a military council 14 June 1287. He married (2nd) ELEANOR DE LOVAINE, daughter of Matthew de Lovaine, Knt., of Little Easton, Essex, by his wife, Muriel. SIR WILLIAM DE FERRERS died shortly before 20 Dec. 1287. In 1288 custody of his lands was granted to Nicholas de Segrave [the younger] for a fine of 100 marks and £160 per annum. His widow, Eleanor, subsequently journeyed to Scotland with the view of obtaining possession of the jointure to which she was entitled from the lands held by her deceased husband in Scotland. She was abducted by WILLIAM DE DOUGLAS, Knt., nicknamed The Hardy, of Douglas, Lanarkshire, Faudon, Northumberland, etc., from the manor of Ellen la Zouche at Tranent, East Lothian, Scotland shortly before 28 Jan. 1288/9, on which date the Sheriff of Northumberland was ordered to take his lands into the king's hand and arrest and imprison him. Douglas was imprisoned in Leeds Castle, Kent, but was released 15 May 1290. Upon the payment of a fine of £100, the marriage of Eleanor was granted to him 18 Feb. 1290/1, which marriage soon afterwards took place, she becoming his second wife. They had two sons, Hugh [clerk] and Archibald, Knt. He is first mentioned in 1256, when his father, William de Douglas, Knt., declared before a court that he had provided him lands in Warndon, Northumberland, with two guardians, as he was then under age. In 1267 he was severely wounded in defense of his father's house at Faudon, Northumberland. In 1288 he imprisoned Hugh de Abernethy, Knt., in his castle of Douglas, who was one of the assassins of Duncan, Earl of Fife. In 1291 he was commanded by King Edward I of England to release the prisoner to William de St. Clare. The same year he and other Scottish magnates did homage to King Edward I as Lord Paramount of Scotland. He was one of the barons who disregarded the summons calling upon them to attend the first Parliament held by John de Balliol as King of Scotland 10 Feb. 1292. Shortly afterwards he refused to pay part of his mother's jointure, in consequence of which she proceeded against him before the justiciaries and obtained a judgment, appointing her to be infeft in certain lands, and awarding her 140 marks in damages. When the officers of the king proceeded to Douglas to execute this decree, he seized them and confined them for a night. He was arraigned before the king's second Parliament held at Sterling 3 August 1293. He pleaded that the officers were wrong in levying the damages so soon. He was, nevertheless, found guilty, and committed to prison, but soon released. In October 1295 he was appointed Governor of Berwick Castle when that place was besieged by King Edward I of England. The town having been taken by storm 30 March, he capitulated the same day on security for life and limb. After swearing fealty to the English monarch 10 June 1296, his lands in the shires of Fife, Edinburgh, Berwick, Dumfries, and Wigtown were restored to him by special favor; his manor of Fawdon, Northumberland, however, was made over to Gilbert de Umfreville, Earl of Angus. His submission was of short duration, however, for he soon joined Wallace in the spring of 1297, in consequence of which Robert de Brus laid waste his lands in Douglasdale, and carried his wife and family captive into Annandale. He obtained possession of Sanquhar Castle by stratagem, in which place he was besieged until relieved by Wallace. He was one of the leaders of the Scottish host, when in the neighborhood of Irvine, it found itself in the presence of the English army under the command of Percy 9 July 1297. He was one of the chief negotiators of the Treaty of Irvine then made, which treaty failed to secure the submission of Scotland. Finding that many of the barons for whom he had acted drew back from the agreement and delayed the delivery of their hostages, he considered himself bound in honor to surrender to the English generals, by whom he was conveyed to Roxburgh. On 12 October following, SIR WILLIAM DE DOUGLAS was sent to the Tower 12 October 1297, where he died shortly before 24 Jan. 1298/9. After his death, the lands which his widow, Eleanor, held in dower of her first husband were restored to her, those in England 24 Jan. 1298/9, and those in Scotland 22 July 1302. In 1305 she sued Robert de Umfreville and Lucy his wife for dower in the manor of Faudon (in Ingram), Northumberland. Eleanor married (39 shortly after 8 April 1305 (date of license to marry) WILLIAM BAGOT, Knt., of The Hyde (in Coppenhall) and Patshull, Staffordshire, son and heir of William Bagot, Knt., of The Hyde (in Coppenhall) and Patshull, Staffordshire, by his wife, Isabel. They had no issue. In 1295 John parson of Weston under Brewood sued him and his brother, Robert Bagot, clerk, for deforcing him of four acres of wood and 40 acres of pasture in Wilbrighton, Staffordshire. In 1296 he was about to proceed to Gascony with Robert Fitz Walter in the retinue of Edmund the king's brother. In 1297, as “William Bagod, junior,” he recovered a messuage and a carucate of land in Patshull, Staffordshire in a suit against Roger Peye. He was serving in Scotland in 1298, 1300, 1301, and 1306. In 1303 he obtained a grant of free warren in his demesne lands at The Hyde (in Coppenhall), Staffordshire. In 1305 the manors of The Hyde (in Coppenhall) and Patshull, Staffordshire were settled on him and his wife, Eleanor. In 1313 one messuage and a carucate of land in Wilbrighton, Staffordshire was settled on William and Eleanor, and the heirs of their bodies, with reversion to Archibald de Douglas, son of Eleanor. At an unknown date, William conveyed the manor of The Hyde (in Coppenhall), Staffordshire to Ralph de Stafford, Lord Stafford. He also sold the manor of Patshull, Staffordshire. SIR WILLIAM BAGOT died about 1324. In 1326 she conveyed her life interest in the manor of The Hyde (in Coppenhall) to Ralph de Stafford, Lord Stafford. She was living in 1327. At her death, she was buried in Dunmow Priory, Essex.

i. HUGH DE DOUGLAS, clerk. He was born about 1294 (aged 2 in 1296). He was taken into custody at his father's manor of Stebbing, Essex when aged nearly two, at a time when his father was in rebellion against King Edward I of England. He became Canon of Glasgow before 17 May 1325, when he was noted as being absent from the meeting of the Glasgow chapter. He witnessed an act of John de Lindsay, Bishop of Glasgow in 1329. He was heir in 1333 to his nephew, William de Douglas, lord of Douglas, son of his older half-brother, James de Douglas. He made various grants from his inheritance in the period, 1332 12, including grants as lord of Douglas at Edinburgh dated 1342. He resigned the whole Douglas inheritance to the king at Aberdeen 26 May 1342; three days later it was granted to his. nephew, William de Douglas, Knt., afterwards 1st Earl of Douglas. He retained his tight as Prebendary of Old Roxburgh held in the Cathedral church of Glasgow until 8 Feb. 1347/8, when he resigned this position through his proctor on exchange for the church of Skirling, Peeblesshire. About 1362 he was still owing annates for this church, but he was described by the collector in his accounts as imp otens in facultatibus. He died unmarried.

ii. ARCHIBALD DE DOUGLAS, Knt., of Liddesdale, Regent of Scotland, 1333. He married BEATRICE DE LINDSAY, daughter of Alexander de Lindsay, of Crawford. They had two sons, John and William, Knt. [Earl of Douglas and Mar], and one daughter, Eleanor. In 1320 the king granted him lands in Morebattle, Roxburghshite and Kirkandrews, Dumfriesshire. In 1324 he was granted the lands of Rattray Orimond, Carnglass, and others in Buchan. He acted in vigorous opposition to the claims of Edward de Balliol to the Scottish throne. In 1332 Gilbert son of Robert de Umfreville sued him regarding the manor of Faudon (in Ingram), Northumberland. SIR ARCHIBALD DE DOUGLAS was slain at the Battle of Halidon Hill 19 July 1333. At the time of his death, he owned the baronies of Cavers, Drumlanrig, Terregles, and Westcalder, and part of Conveth in Aberdeenshire. In 1335 his widow, Beatrice, was residing in the fortress of Cumbernauld, when it was besieged by the English. She and other noble ladies were compelled to surrender, but apparently were not kept prisoners very long. Sometime in the period, 1335-8, Duncan, Earl of Fife, granted the barony of West Calder, Midlothian to Beatrice and her son and heir, John de Douglas. Beatrice married (2nd) (as his 1st wife) ROBERT DE ERSKINE, Knt., of Erskine, High Chamberlain of Scotland, 1350-7,1363-4, Keeper of Stirling Castle, son and heir of William de Erskine, Knt. They had two sons, Thomas, Knt. and Nicholas (of Kinnoull), and one daughter, Marion (wife of Maurice Drummond, of Concraig). At an unknown date, he had a charter of lands in the holding of Erskine by Robert Stewart, Steward of Scotland, which grant was confirmed by the king in 1352. His wife, Beatrice, died before 1352. In some private quarrel, he wounded and imprisoned Walter de Menteith and his brother. To appease the feud thus engendered, a marriage was arranged about 1352 between him and Walter de Menteith's kinswoman, Christian Menteith, widow of Edward Keith, Knt., of Sinton, and daughter of John Menteith, Knt, of Arran, Strathgartney, and Knapdale. He and Christian were subsequently dispensed 6 March 1355 to remain in marriage, she and his 1st wife, Beatrice, being related in the 4th degree of consanguinity. They had no surviving issue. He was very active in promoting the release of King David II. In 1357 he was one of the Scottish plenipotentiaries sent to treat with England regarding the king's ransom. He was employed on several embassies, chiefly to England, but also to the French and Papal Courts. In 1358 he had a charter from Thomas, Earl of Mar, of the lands of Garioch. In 1361 he granted Kintulach, Perthshire to Cambuskenneth Abbey. In 1362 he granted the patronage of the church of Kinnoull to the same abbey. In 1368 he received a charter conferring on him and his wife, Christian, the lands of Alloa, Galbardstoun, Isle of Clackmannan, the New Park near Stirling, land called Brewhaugh in the Forest of Clackmannan, plus other lands. He did homage at the Coronation of King Robert II in 1371. In 1373 he exchanged the lands of Ednam for an annual rent of £100. In 1376 he resigned the barony of Dun, Forfarshire to his son, Thomas. He was a frequent attender of Parliament and Council up to 1384. SIR ROBERT DE ERSKINE died shortly before Martinmas 1385. His widow, Christian, died about 1387.

Children of Archibald de Douglas, Knt., by Beatrice de Lindsay:
a. JOHN DE DOUGLAS. He is mentioned in a charter dated 1335-8, as heir of his mother. He may be the John de Douglas who was at the court of King David II of Scotland in 1338-9. He appears to have accompanied King David II to Normandy, and in 1340 formed one of his household at Château Gaillard. He died without issue overseas before 29 May 1342, when the Douglas estates were settled on his younger brother, William, as heir of their father. Scots Peerage 3 (1906): 142 (sub Earl of Douglas).

He had livery of Chardey Castle and the rest of his mother's lands 10 Nov. 1247. He was invested with the Earldom of Derby 2 Feb. 1247/8. In 1245 he was granted respite of forest offences because he "laboured under infirmity." He presented to the church of Brington, Northamptonshire in 1250. While passing over a bridge at St. Neots, Huntingdonshire, he was accidentally thrown from his chariot sustaining broken limb bones from which he never recovered. SIR WILLIAM DE FERRERS, 5th Earl of Derby, died at Evington, Leicestershire 24 (or 28) March 1254, and was buried at Merevale Abbey, Warwickshire. His widow, Margaret, presented to the churches of Keyston, Huntingdonshire, 1255, Irchester, Northamptonshire, 1267, and Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, 1268, 1275. She was co-heiress in 1264 to her father, Roger de Quincy, Knt., Earl of Winchester, by which she inherited the hereditary office of Constable of Scotland, together with the manors of Groby (in Ratby) and Thurnby, Leicestershire, Ware, Hertfordshire, Keyston and Southoe, Huntingdonshire, Chinnor, Oxfordshire, etc. In 1268-9 the Prior and convent of Lenton released the church of Irchester, Northamptonshire to Margaret de Ferrers, Countess of Derby, who in turn levied a fine of it to the use of herself and her heirs. In 1270 she resigned the office of Constable of Scotland to her brother-in-law, Alexander Comyn, Knt., Earl of Buchan. In 1270 Margaret and her sisters, Ellen and Elizabeth, gave license for the election of William de Shaldeston as Prior of the Hospital of St. James and St. John at Brackley, Northamptonshire. In 1272-3 Margaret arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against John le Fauconer, of Thurcaston, and others, touching a tenement in Groby, Leicestershire.

On the assignment of Quincy dower lands in 1275, Margaret was assigned a third part of the manor of Southoe Ferrers, Huntingdonshire, together with a third part of the chief messuage. In 1275-6 William de Karuill' arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against her touching a messuage and land in Brampton, Northamptonshire. Sometime in the period, 1275-9, she acquired the one-third share of the same manor assigned to her sister, Elizabeth Comyn, thus increasing Margaret's share to two-thirds. In 1276 Margaret had letters of protection, she then going to Scotland. In 1277-8 Alice widow of John de Kent arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her and others touching a tenement in Chardey, Staffordshire.

Margaret, Countess of Derby, died shortly before 12 March 1280/1, on which date custody of all lands late of the said Countess Margaret were granted by the king to Richard Fukeram to hold during pleasure, so that he cultivate and sow them and answer for the issues at the Exchequer. In 1282 custody of the manor of Southoe, Huntingdonshire late of Margaret, Countess of Derby, deceased was granted by the king to John de Aese, Vicomte of Tartas to hold during the minority of the heirs.
