11552 Wikipedia

William de Courcy was an Anglo-Norman nobleman and baron.

William was the son of William de Courcy and his wife Emma de Falaise.[1] Through his mother, William inherited the barony of Stogursey in Somerset, as his mother was the sole heir of William de Falaise, the lord of Stogursey in Domesday Book.[2] William and Emma were also the parents of two other sons: Richard and Robert.[1]

William married Avice, the daughter and coheir of William Meschin,[1] and Cecily de Rumilly.[2] The marriage took place around 1125.[1]

William, along with his brother Robert, confirmed the gift of his father of the advowson of the church of Nuneham Courtenay in Oxfordshire to Abingdon Abbey.[3] This reconfirmation of his father's grant was recorded in the abbey's chronicle, the Historia Ecclesie Abbendonensis,[1] like the original grant had been. William then gave further lands to the abbey, including a meadow named "cow mead" and a pasture large enough for 300 sheep, 8 oxen and 10 cows.[3]

William died before 1130.[1] William's widow married William Paynel, son of Fulk Paynel, as his second wife.[4] His heir was his son William de Courcy. Another son was Robert, who was steward to King Stephen of England.[5] But Marjorie Chibnall thinks this Robert is a cousin, from the Norman branch.[6]

11553 Wikipedia

William III (913 ? 3 April 963), called Towhead (French: T?te d'?toupe, Latin: Caput Stupe) from the colour of his hair, was the "Count of the Duchy of Aquitaine" from 959 and Duke of Aquitaine from 962 to his death. He was also the Count of Poitou (as William I) from 935 and Count of Auvergne from 950. The primary sources for his reign are Ademar of Chabannes, Dudo of Saint-Quentin, and William of Jumi?ges.

William was son of Ebalus Manzer[1] and Emilienne. He was born in Poitiers. He claimed the Duchy of Aquitaine from his father's death, but the royal chancery did not recognise his ducal title until the year before his own death.

Shortly after the death of King Rudolph in 936, he was constrained to cede some land to Hugh the Great by Louis IV. He did it with grace, but his relationship with Hugh thenceforward deteriorated. In 950, Hugh was reconciled with Louis and granted the duchies of Burgundy and Aquitaine. He tried to conquer Aquitaine with Louis's assistance, but William defeated them. Lothair, Louis's successor, feared the power of William. In August 955 he joined Hugh to besiege Poitiers, which resisted successfully. William, however, gave battle and was routed.

After the death of Hugh, his son Hugh Capet was named duke of Aquitaine, but he never tried to take up his fief, as William reconciled with Lothair.

He was given the abbey of Saint-Hilaire-le-Grand, which remained in his house after his death. He also built a library in the palace of Poitiers.

Family background, marriage and issue

His father was duke Ebles Manzer, who already was a man in his middle years when he was born in about 913. According to the chronicle of Ademar de Chabannes, William's wife was Geirlaug (French: Gerloc, also known as Ad?le), a daughter of Rollo of Normandy. The less reliable Dudo of Saint-Quentin has William rather than Ebles marrying Gerloc, perhaps about 936, in a match that may have been arranged by William I of Normandy.

With Gerloc, he had at least one child whose filiation is clearly attested:

William, his successor in Aquitaine. He abdicated to the abbey of Saint-Cyprien in Poitiers and left the government to his son.
Many[who?] genealogies accept the high likelihood[vague] that they also had a daughter:

Adelaide, who married Hugh Capet
But her parentage is not reliably documented of their era and is regarded only as a good possibility by usual modern genealogical literature.

Wilhelm Werghaupt (lat. Caput stupe, frz. T?te d'Etoupe; * um 900; ? 3. April 963) war als Wilhelm III. Herzog von Aquitanien und als Wilhelm I. Graf von Poitou, Limoges und Auvergne aus der Familie der Ramnulfiden.

Wilhelm war der ?lteste Sohn von Ebalus Mancer, dem er nach dessen Tod 934 im Poitou nachfolgte. Wilhelm war ein Feind der Robertiner, deren Oberhaupt Hugo Magnus sich 936 Poitiers bem?chtigte. Unter Ausnutzung des Konfliktes Hugos mit K?nig Ludwig IV. dem ?berseeischen konnte Wilhelm die Stadt 938 zur?ckerobern. 942 wurde er vom K?nig zum Laienabt der Abtei von St. Hilaire ernannt, die seither im Besitz der Familie blieb.

Seinen vorrangigsten Kampf f?hrte Wilhelm gegen den Grafen Raimund Pons von Toulouse, der ihm die Herrschaft ?ber die Auvergne streitig machte. Nach dem Tod K?nig Ludwigs IV. (954) huldigte ihm aber die Noblesse der Auvergne, 955 erlangte er die Herrschaft ?ber die Grafschaft Limoges. Seine Position als Herzog von Aquitanien war jedoch umstritten: Einerseits durch die Grafen von Toulouse, die 935 das Herzogtum von K?nig Rudolf verliehen bekamen, und vor allem durch Hugo Magnus, der seinen dominierenden Einfluss auf K?nig Lothar geltend machte und sich von diesem mit dem aquitanischen Herzogtum belehnen lie?. 955 zog Hugo Magnus mit einem k?niglichen Heer vor Poitiers und schlug Wilhelm in einer Feldschlacht. Poitiers konnte aber erfolgreich verteidigt werden. 956 starb Hugo Magnus und obwohl dessen Sohn Hugo Capet die Politik des Vaters aufnahm, sollte die Herrschaft Wilhelms in Aquitanien nicht mehr gef?hrdet werden. Erst jetzt war er unbestrittener ?Herzog der Aquitanier".

Kurz vor seinem Tod wurde Wilhelm M?nch in der Abtei von Saint-Cyprien, wo er auch bestattet wurde.

Wilhelm war seit 935 mit Gerloc-Adele (? nach 969) verheiratet, einer Tochter des normannischen Grafen Rollo. Sie hatten zwei Kinder:

Wilhelm Eisenarm (* um 937; ? 995/996), Graf von Poitou (Wilhelm II.) und Herzog von Aquitanien (Wilhelm IV.)
Adelheid (Aelis) (* wohl 950; ? 1004) 8 im Sommer 968 mit Hugo Capet, Herzog von Franzien und ab 987 K?nig von Frankreich

He succeeded to the baronetcy and estates on the death of his father in December 1616. He was also owner of Great Bradley, Suffolk. In 1618 he was awarded MA by the University of Cambridge.[2]

In 1621, Peyton was elected Member of Parliament for Cambridgeshire. He was High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire from 1622 to 1623. In 1625 he was re-elected MP for Cambridgeshire and was returned again in 1626.[3] He took an active part in the Civil War on the Parliamentary side, but so impoverished himself that he had to sell Isleham.[1]

He was a Puritan supporter of his boyhood friend Oliver Cromwell and wrote religious pamphlets attacking the immorality of the Stuart court. He was, however, always against dictatorship. The English Civil War started in 1641causing great turmoil in the land. In the ensuing cataclysm he lost his fortune, including having to sell Isleham by 1642. He was later regared by Cromwell as disaffected, suffering financially from both sides during the war.(785 vol 1:71,76)

11555 Wikipedia - The House of Courtenay

House of Courtenay is located in France

Location of Courtenay in the G?tinais (Loiret), France. It is situated about 65 miles SE of Paris and was thus well within the control of the French kings and had no connection to any west-coast French possessions of the English kings (i.e. Normandy, Anjou, Aquitaine etc.), from which originated most early continental incomers to England. In this respect the English Courtenay family is unusual.
The House of Courtenay was a medieval noble house, with branches in France, England and the Holy Land.

Origin
The house was founded by Athon, the first lord of Courtenay in France. Athon took advantage of the succession crisis in the Duchy of Burgundy between Otto-William, Duke of Burgundy and Robert II of France to capture a piece of land for himself, where he established his own seigneury (lordship), taking his surname from the town he founded and fortified.

Athon was succeeded by his son Joscelin, who had three sons: Miles, who was Lord of Courtenay after him; Joscelin, who joined the First Crusade and became Count of Edessa; and Geoffrey, who also fought in the Holy land and died there.[1]

In the 12th century, Reginald de Courtenay (d.1190), son of Milo de Courtenay (d.1127), quarrelled with King Louis VII of France and moved to England: His French lands were forfeit, and passed, with his daughter Elizabeth, to Louis' brother Peter, who took the name "Peter de Courtenay".

The Crusader house of Courtenay
Joscelin de Courtenay arrived in Outremer with the third wave of the First Crusade and proved himself capable, becoming in turn Lord of Turbessel, Prince of Galilee,[2] and (in 1118) Count of Edessa.[3] He was succeeded in 1131 by his son, Joscelin II, but the county was lost in 1144, and Jos died in captivity in 1159. His son, Joscelin III, was the titular Count, while his sister, Agnes, became Queen of Jerusalem by marriage to King Amalric and was mother to two monarchs, Baldwin IV and Sibylla. Joscelin III died in the 1190s, succeeded by two daughters; his last property was passed by them to the Teutonic Order.

The English House of Courtenay
Reginald de Courtenay's grandson, Robert de Courtenay (d.1242), feudal baron of Okehampton, Devon, in right of his mother Hawise de Curcy (d.1219),[4] married Mary de Redvers, daughter and heiress of William de Redvers, 5th Earl of Devon (d.1217). Robert's great-grandson, Hugh de Courtenay, 9th Earl of Devon (d.1340), inherited the Earldom of Devon in 1335 on the extinction of the male line of the de Redvers family. The title was subsequently recreated for Hugh de Courtenay, nephew of Hugh Despenser the Elder. The family is one of the most ancient in England, currently headed by Charles Courtenay, 19th Earl of Devon.

The Capetian House of Courtenay
See also: Houses of Montlh?ry and Le Puiset
Reginald de Courtenay's daughter, Elizabeth, was given in marriage, together with his forfeited French lands, by the French Capetian King Louis VII with whom he had quarreled, to his youngest brother Peter of France (d.1183), henceforth known as Peter I of Courtenay. Peter and Elizabeth's descendants were members of the Capetian House of Courtenay, a cadet branch of the House of Capet, the French Royal House. Their descendants acquired through marriage the County of Namur and the Latin Empire of Constantinople. This branch became extinct in the male line in 1733, with the name Courtenay passing on to the Bauffremont family.

Claim to French royal status
The House of Bourbon, which acquired the French throne with the accession of Henry IV of France in 1589, was another cadet branch of the Capetian dynasty. Under the Salic law, males descended in male line from Hugh Capet are princes of the blood? i.e., they have the right to succeed to the French throne in the event that the male line of the royal family and of more senior princes die out. Hence, the then-impoverished Capetian House of Courtenay, being agnatic descendants of Louis VI of France, sought to be acknowledged as "princes du sang" (Princes of the Blood Royal) and "cousins to the king", two titles normally reserved for the members of the royal family and prized for the seats at the Royal Council and the Parliament of Paris that they conferred upon its holders.

Moreover, the Bourbons had difficulty producing surviving male dynasts in quantity until the mid-17th century. The Capetian Courtenays were, after the Bourbons, the most senior surviving agnatic branch of the House of Capet, and under strict application of Salic law the Crown would pass to them should the Bourbons fall extinct.

Three Bourbon kings in a row? Henry IV, Louis XIII and Louis XIV? turned down their petitions. That the Bourbon monarchs confined the French royalty to the descendants of Louis IX is evidenced by the Treaty of Montmartre (1662) which named the non-Capetian House of Lorraine as the next in line to the French throne after the Bourbons, thus bypassing the Courtenay branch, a Capetian family. Although the Courtenays protested against this clause, their claims to the princely title were never acknowledged by the Paris Court of Accounts.

The last male member of the French Courtenays died in 1733. His niece married the marquis de Bauffremont, and their descendants assumed the title of "Prince de Courtenay" with dubious validity, which they bear to this day. The marquis de Bauffremont was made on 8 June 1757 Prince of the Holy Roman Empire (inheritable by all male-line descendants); this title was recognised in France. Bauffremont-Courtenay are also princes of Carency and dukes of Bauffremont.

11556 Wikipedia bio:
Patrick Gray, 4th Lord Gray (c. 1518 -1584) was a Scottish landowner and Sheriff of Angus, active during the war of the Rough Wooing as a supporter of the Scottish Reformation.
Family:
Patrick Gray was the son of Egidia Mercer and Gilbert Gray of Buttergask (half-brother of Patrick Gray, 3rd Lord Gray), and the grandson of Andrew Gray, 2nd Lord Gray (d. 1514). Patrick became Lord Gray in April 1541, after the death of his uncle. In order to succeed to the Gray lands, as heir of his grandfather, he had to pay 10,000 marks to the Treasury of King James V of Scotland, and was confirmed Lord Gray on 14 September 1542. He was still paying James Hamilton, Regent Arran, in 1543.
Patrick Gray firstly married Marion Ogilvy in 1537. Their son was Patrick Gray, 5th Lord Gray (1538? 1608). They also had another son, James Gray, who was the second husband of Elizabeth Bethune, a mistress of King James V of Scotland. Patrick secondly married Margaret Ker, daughter of Sir Walter Ker of Cessford, in 1557. The chief residence of the Grays was Fowlis Castle, near Dundee, Scotland, and they also lived as well at Castle Huntly, nearby. In 1583, an English list of the Scottish nobility described Patrick with an interesting but inaccurate English pedigree;
"an aged man, esteemed to come of English bloode, that came into Scotlande with the Lady Somerset, wyef to King James the Firste. In religion suspected; of no greate power or frendes. His eldest sonne married th'erle of Gowrie's father's sister, and his other the daughter of Lord Glamis."
Rough Wooing:
Lord Gray was captured by the English at the Battle of Solway Moss and was held by the Archbishop of York. When he returned to Scotland he made a band of friendship or 'manrent' with Cardinal David Beaton at St Andrews on 22 October 1544.
On 11 March 1547, during the siege at St Andrews Castle, Gray made a pledge to Edward VI of England. This contract stated that for English assistance in re-instating his rights over Perth, and the return of his brother, who was a hostage (called a "pledge" in the language of the time) in England; Patrick Gray would further the marriage of Mary, Queen of Scots to Edward VI, and deliver Broughty Castle and the Spey Tower at Perth to the English army. This instrument was witnessed by Norman Leslie, James Kirkcaldy of Grange, Henry Balnaves, and Alexander Whitelaw of Newgrange.
Gray asked to be compensated for his fishing rights at Broughty; he was duly paid ?1000 on 14 November 1547 by Sir Andrew Dudley, an English soldier and brother of the Duke of Northumberland. At the same time, the Master of Ruthven, whose father was Provost of Perth and Gray's rival, offered to deliver Perth to the English. In June 1548, Thomas Fisher brought him the Lord Protector's thanks, a gold chain, a pension of 1000 crowns and a gift of 300 crowns. Gray was captured by French troops in November 1548 and summoned for treason on 18 December 1548. D'Ess?, the French commander, wanted him executed, but Regent Arran and the other Scottish lords protested.
Later life:
During the crisis of the Scottish Reformation, Mary of Guise wrote to Lord Gray on 11 May 1560 to inform him of the defeat of an English assault at the Siege of Leith. In August 1560, Lord Gray attended the Scottish Reformation Parliament, and signed the commission for the marriage of James Hamilton, 3rd Earl of Arran to Elizabeth I of England, (which had no effect). Some years before, Gray had been captured by the English at a border incident called the Raid of Swinton. In 1562 he was detained in England, on account of his old bail conditions ? he had been, "lattin hame upoun ane band." Mary, Queen of Scots, wrote to Elizabeth to complain at his ill-treatment.

Adelaide of Maurienne, also called Alix or Adele[1] (1092 ? 18 November 1154) was a queen of France as the second wife of King Louis VI (1115-1137).

Family
Adelaide was the daughter of Count Humbert II of Savoy and Gisela of Burgundy.[2] Adelaide's older brother Amadeus III succeeded their father as count of Savoy in 1103.[3] Adelaide had the same name as her paternal great-grandmother Adelaide of Susa, ruler of the March of Turin, and her second cousin, Adelaide del Vasto, queen of Jerusalem.[4] Through her father, Adelaide was also related to Emperor Henry V. On her mother's side, Adelaide's relatives included her uncle Pope Callixtus II, who visited Adelaide at court in France, and her first cousin King Alfonso VII of Le?n and Castile.[5]

Queenship
Adelaide became the second wife of King Louis VI of France, whom she married on 3 August 1115 in Paris, France.[6] They had nine children, the second of whom became Louis VII of France.

Diploma issued by King Louis VI and Queen Adelaide for the canons of the cathedral chapter of Paris (1127).
Adelaide was one of the most politically active of all France's medieval queens.[7] Her name appears on 45 royal charters from the reign of Louis VI.[8] During her tenure as queen, royal charters were dated with both her regnal year and that of the king.[9] Among many other religious benefactions, she and Louis founded the monastery of St Peter's (Ste Pierre) at Montmartre, in the northern suburbs of Paris.[10]

After Louis VI's death, Adelaide did not immediately retire to conventual life, as did most widowed queens of the time. Instead, she married Matthieu I of Montmorency,[11] with whom she had one child. She remained active in the French court and religious activities.

Death
In 1153 she retired to Montmartre Abbey, which she had founded with Louis VII. She died there on 18 November 1154.[11] She was buried in the cemetery of the Church of St. Pierre at Montmartre. The abbey was destroyed during the French Revolution, but Adelaide's tomb is still visible in the church of St Pierre.[12]

Legend
Adelaide is one of two queens in a legend related in the seventeenth century by William Dugdale. As the story goes, Queen Ad?laide of France became enamored of a young knight, William d'Albini, at a joust. However, he was already engaged to Adeliza of Louvain and refused to become her lover. The jealous Ad?laide lured him into the clutches of a hungry lion, but William ripped out the beast's tongue with his bare hands and thus killed it. This story is almost without a doubt, apocryphal.[13]

Issue
Louis and Adelaide had seven sons and two daughters:

Philip of France (1116? 1131).
Louis VII (1120 ? 18 November 1180), King of France.
Henry (1121? 1175), Archbishop of Reims.
Hugues (b. c. 1122).
Robert (c. 1123? 11 October 1188), Count of Dreux.
Constance (c. 1124? 16 August 1176), married first Eustace IV, Count of Boulogne and then Raymond V of Toulouse.
Philip (1125? 1161), Bishop of Paris. Not to be confused with his elder brother.
Peter (c. 1125? 1183), married Elizabeth, Lady of Courtenay.
a daughter, whose name is not known, who died in infancy and was interred at the Abbey of Saint-Victor, Paris.
With Matthieu I of Montmorency, Adelaide had one daughter:

Ad?le (or Aelis or Alix) of Montmorency.

11558 Wikipedia-

Antonia Minor[a] (31 January 36 BC - 1 May AD 37) was the younger of two surviving daughters of Mark Antony and Octavia Minor. She was a niece of the Emperor Augustus, sister-in-law of the Emperor Tiberius, paternal grandmother of the Emperor Caligula and Empress Agrippina the Younger, mother of the Emperor Claudius, and maternal great-grandmother of the Emperor Nero. She outlived her husband Drusus, her oldest son, her daughter and several of her grandchildren.

Biography
Birth and early life
She was born in Athens, Greece, and after 36 BC was taken to Rome by her mother with her siblings. She was the youngest of five: her mother had three children, named Claudia Marcella Major, Claudia Marcella Minor, and Marcus Claudius Marcellus, from her first marriage and another daughter, named Antonia Major by the same father. Antonia never knew her father, Mark Antony, who divorced her mother in 32 BC and committed suicide in 30 BC. She was raised by her mother, her uncle, and her aunt, Livia Drusilla. Having inherited properties in Italy, Greece, and Egypt, she was a wealthy and influential woman, who often received visitors to Rome. She had many male friends, including Alexander the Alabarch, a wealthy Jew, and Lucius Vitellius, a consul and the father of Aulus Vitellius, a future emperor.

Marriage and family
In 16 BC, she married the Roman general and future consul (9 BC) Nero Claudius Drusus. Drusus was the stepson of her uncle Augustus, second son of Livia Drusilla and brother of future Emperor Tiberius. They had many children, but only three survived: the famous general Germanicus, Livilla and the Roman Emperor Claudius.[1] A poem by Crinagoras of Mytilene mentions Antonia's first pregnancy, which may be of a child before Germanicus whom must have died in infancy or early childhood.[1][2][3] Drusus died in June 9 BC in Germany, due to complications from injuries he sustained after falling from a horse. After his death, although pressured by her uncle to remarry, she never did.

Antonia raised her children in Rome. Tiberius adopted Germanicus in AD 4.[4] Germanicus died in 19 AD, allegedly poisoned through the handiwork of Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso and Munatia Plancina. Tacitus suggests but does not outright say in Annals 3.3 that, on the orders of Tiberius and Livia Drusilla, Antonia was forbidden to go to his funeral. When Livia Drusilla died in June 29 AD, Antonia took care of her younger grandchildren Caligula, Agrippina the Younger, Julia Drusilla, Julia Livilla and later Claudia Antonia.

Conflict with Livilla
In 31 AD, a plot by her daughter Livilla and Tiberius' notorious Praetorian prefect, Sejanus, was exposed by Apicata, the estranged ex-wife of Sejanus, to murder the Emperor Tiberius and Caligula and to seize the throne for themselves. Livilla allegedly poisoned her husband, Tiberius' son, Drusus Julius Caesar (nicknamed "Castor"), in 23 AD to remove him as a rival. Sejanus was executed before Livilla was implicated in the crime. After Apicata's accusation, which came in the form of a letter to the emperor, several co-conspirators were executed while Livilla was handed over to her formidable mother for punishment. Cassius Dio states that Antonia imprisoned Livilla in her room until she starved to death.[5]

Succession of Caligula and death
When Tiberius died, Caligula became emperor in March 37 AD. Caligula awarded her a senatorial decree, granting her all the honors that Livia Drusilla had received in her lifetime. She was also offered the title of Augusta, previously only given to Augustus's wife Livia, but rejected it.

Six months into his reign, Caligula became seriously ill. Antonia would often offer Caligula advice, but he once told her, "I can treat anyone exactly as I please!" Caligula was rumored to have had his young cousin Gemellus beheaded, to remove him as a rival to the throne. This act was said to have outraged Antonia, who was grandmother to Gemellus as well as to Caligula.

Having had enough of Caligula's anger at her criticisms and of his behavior, she committed suicide. Suetonius Caligula 23, relates how he might have poisoned her.

When his grandmother Antonia asked for a private interview, he refused it except in the presence of the prefect Macro, and by such indignities and annoyances he caused her death; although some think that he also gave her poison. After she was dead, he paid her no honour, but viewed her burning pyre from his dining-room.

Antonia died on 1 May 37.[6]

When Claudius became emperor after his nephew's assassination in 41 AD, he gave his mother the title of Augusta. Her birthday became a public holiday, which had yearly games and public sacrifices held. An image of her was paraded in a carriage.

2. JOHN MERVYN (M5JY-R6S) (Thomas), of Ramsey, co. Essex, yeoman the testator of 1533, may have
been born about 1480. He was of age in 1503, and was co-executor of his father's will. He died at Ramsey
between 16 September 1533 (the date of his will) and 17 December 1533 (the date of probate), and was buried
in the Church of St. Michael the Archangel at Ramsey. He is identical with the man whose name Mr. W. T. R.
Marvin did not know (though he suspected it might be John), who is No. 7 in the English Ancestry, and appears
on pp. 31 and 38-41 in that work. Mr. Marvin, however, believed him to be a son of John (M14P-R9X), and
ANCESTRY OF REINOLD AND MATTHEW MARVIN 5
grandson of Roger Mervyn (KNDQ-HCV) of Ipswich; and it has been shown that that belief is erroneous. John
Mervyn Was a man of very considerable wealth. In his will, he disposed of lands and tenements in the parishes
of Ramsey, Great Oakley [Myche or Much Ockley] and Little Oakley., The names of some of his lands were
Janecoxe, Waxe, Bennettes, Rolfes, Nether lands, Gesses, Brandons, and Milkes. He also had interests in the
town of Harwich, which he left to his brother Thomas, a resident of that town. John Mervyn married
MARGARET (L5GX-1NN) -?? , who survived him, and was co-executrix of his will. From the terms of the
will, it is obvious that she was the. mother of all his children. She was undoubtedly the "Widow Marvin"
(L5GX-1NN) who was taxed 153.on her movables at Ramsey in the Lay Subsidy of 1540 (English Ancestry, p.
38). The date of her death is not known.
Children (order uncertain):
5. i. JOHN (9HGG-SBS), "my eldest son," co-executor of his father 's will, of age in 1533, b. (say) 1510.
6. ii. RAYNOLD, REINOLD or RYNALDE (9HW4-1JW), under 21 in 1533, b. (say) 1513.
7. iii. THOMAS (L417-K9R), under 21 in 1533.
iv RICHARD (LD79-MML), under 21 in 1533.
v. JOHN the younger (K2JK-9YR), under 21 in 1533.
vi MARGARET (K489-9KR) unmarried in 1533, apparently later m. JOHN COOPER (LT54-C3M),
of Harwich (see English Ancestry, pp. 41, 56, 166, 167). He was buried at St. Nicholas 's Church,
Harwich, 29 July 1580. She was bur. there 20 Dec. 1587, leaving a. will, dated 8 Dec. 1587, which was
proved 24 Jan. 1587/8.

3. William (LHWW-8MC), b. before 1559.

vii. CHRISTIAN (LC5B-V72), unmarried in 1533, later m. THOMAS HERDE (K4V3-7NP), of
Ramsey (see English Ancestry, pp. 39, 83, 84; Descendants, pp. 15, 16). She d. shortly before 14 Oct.
1561. Her husband, survived her, and was executor of the will of his brother-in-law Thomas Mervyn
(L417-K9R) (No. 7). They had issue,
viii. MARION (LKVF-497), unmarried in 1533, later m. SWATTOCKE (KXM2-RB5) (see English

11578 Will of Jeremiah Bunch
8 March 1796
Bertie, NorthCarolina
Son: Henry Bunch, Jeremiah Bunch, Nehemiah Bunch, Frederick Bunch, William Bunch, Nannie Bunch Collins,

Jeremiah Bunch Sr and his brother Embrey Bunch were listed as "householders" in Bertie County NC in 1755. Their father Henry Bunch's will is probated in Bertie NC in 1775 and he appears to have done well as he is able to distribute money, possessions and his land and plantation and (sadly) some slaves to his children (Jeremiah, Tomerson, Susannah, Rachel, Nanny and Embrey) and grandchildren (Cader and Zadock) They were all very active in land records of Bertie County from the 1760's onward. They are farmers, planters and plantation owners. Jeremiah Bunch Senior deeded land to his grandson Jeremiah Bunch, son of Jeremiah Bunch Junior. All 3 generations of Jeremiah Bunches lived and died in Bertie Co.

They appear to be very religious according to their preponderance of Biblical family names along with the Williams and Henrys. Jeremiah and Nehemiah being very notable. Many of them attended local congregations, gave land and support to and involvement in their churches and at least 2 became ministers. The Jeremiah Bunches belonged to churches that also allowed African Americans as members. Sadly slavery is accepted as ok.

Apparently some had an unusual amount of and sophistication of carpentry tools suggesting a possible vocation in carpentry.
There is a very nice Jeremiah Bunch Plantation home of about 1800 vintage in Bertie County.

Some of the early descendants of Henry and Jeremiah Bunch moved into a variety of states: South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee to name a few.

11593 Will: August 03, 1760 Halifax Co., NC Probate: March 1761 Halifax Co., NC

Peter Hayes and Martha Sledge are reported by some to have had 12 children one of whom was John Hays. (Once in North Carolina the spelling of the name changed from Hayes to Hays) His son, John Hays and his wife Phebe had at least six children one of whom was another John Hays (1735-1782).

Peter joined the migration of settlers pushing south into the great virgin forests of the Tidewater, after the Tuscarora War. From the earliest records it would seem that Peter who homesteaded on Urashaw Swamp, and his sons, were more interested in buying and selling land than in farming. The many grants and estate transfers in which they were involved would indicate that the Hayes men obtained a comfortable living from real estate, or what would be considered comfortable in those frontier days.

INFO: Peter Hayes of Urashaw born on the Hayes Blackwater plantation in Isle of Wight Co. Just across the river in Surry County was the plantation of Charles Sledge. Peter married Martha Sledge, daughter of Charles. Peter Hayes was the executor of Mary (Clarke) Sledge's will (Boddie, Southside Va. Families, Vol. I, p. 366). The record of a grant of 640 acres in the Urashaw Swamp region has not been found, but it is mentioned in a land transfer. In 1720 Peter Hayes and his eldest son William were listed as having arms and able to defend the colonies against the Indians. This list constitutes a military roster for Capt. Patterson's company, and was made up of all the male residents of the upper part of Chowan Precinct, an area today found in Hertford and Northampton Counties. (Hathaway, Register, Vol. I, p. 443). His will dated August 3, 1760 and probated in March 1761 in Halifax County, North Carolina, names his wife Martha as executrix and gives each of his younger children five shillings. His wife was to have the estate and to see that the childr4en were educated and cared for.

Peter Hayes matriculated at Queens College, Cambridge, England. He then entered Law School and was under the protection of his cousin Thomas Hayes, Lord Mayor of London (1614-1615).

Afterwards he became employed by James Hay, Lord Doncaster, who was a Scottish Noble, and held the office of Master of the Wardrobe.
James Hay was also a councilor and diplomat. In 1622 James Hay became Earl of Carlisle.

In 1628, a dispute arose in the West Indies as to who was the Governor. King James had granted these islands to the Earl of Carlisle, but Phillip Herbert, Lord Montgomery claimed them and had placed an illegal Governor in Barbadoes. King Charles sent a Royal Commission to arrest the illegal Governor, and Peter Hayes was appointed envoy with the Royal Comission to the West Indies.

The work of the Commission ended in 1640 and Peter Hayes continued on to Virginia where his father was already established on Pagan Creek,

Peter Hayes IV,
born about 1673 near present day Jonestown Road and Rattlesnake Trail in Newport Parish, Isle of Wight, Virginia.

Marriage 3 Nov 1695 in Newport Parish, Isle of Wight. Virginia. Married Martha Flake, Daughter of Robert Flake IV.

Brother of Samuel Hayes ( first of three) 1685-1728, Arthur Hayes 1691-1776, Katherine Hayes 1696-____, Richard Hayes 1700- 1766.

Samuel Hayes I, died near Jonestown Road, before 4 Jan 1728.
Arthur Hayes died near Jonestown Road in 1776.
Richard Hayes died after 6 April 1747 on Three Creeks, Surry County, Virginia.

In 1720 Peter Hayes becomes a planter ( sharecropper) for William Brasswell and Hardy Councell both living in the Isle of Wight area. On 10 November 1721, Peters father, Peter Hayes III dies on the Hayes Blackwater plantation (present day Jonestown Road) where his wife Elizabeth was given 600 acres to be divided between three sons after her death.

In 1720, Peter Hayes, Samuel Hayes, and Peter's son William Hayes they follow Braswell, Hardy Councell, and William Bennett south into Chowan Precinct.

On 13 August 1728, Peter Hayes is listed on a deed of William Brasswell who is the next door neighbor to the East of Hardy Councell On Plaquet Branch ( Dick Harmony Road). Peter is working as a planter on the plantations on Urahah Swamp and nearby plantations.

Sometime in 1728 Peter is deeded / Paid 100 acres on Plaquet Branch and Antonkey Marsh (Dick Harmony Road on Urahah Swamp) for planting work he has done for Hardy Councell, (the property is basically worthless swamp land that adjoins the plaquet Branch Swamp following the swamp up to the west border of William Brasswell on Urahah Swamp).

Peter Hayes realizes that he has been swindled by Hardy Councell and leaves and moves to three Creeks in virginia.

On 4 January 1731, Peter buyes 100 acres from James Atkinson. Peter sends word to his brother Richard in Chowan that he needs help to work his patent.

On 8 May 1733, Hardy Councell aknowledges the sale of 100 acres to Peter Hayes on Plaquet Branch.

On 19 August 1733, Peter Hayes' mother dies on the Hayes Blackwater Plantation. Peter Hayes and his brother Richard are living on Three Creeks.

On 9 November 1736 a petition was read in Bertie Precinct in open Court. concerning the taxation of worthless swampland on Plaquet Branch.

On 22 Feb 1743, Peter Hayes is finally able to sell his 100 acres to John Sherrard.

On 22 Sep 1743, Peter Hayes and his Brother in law withness a land deal on Three Creeks, Surry, Virginia.

On 6 April 1747 Peter witnesses a 185 acre deed from his brother Richard Hayes to Joseph Tharp. Richard Dies soon afterward.

On 20 Sept 1784, Peter gets awarded a land patent of 130 acres adjoining his 100 acres on Three Creeks. Peter begins to have debts pile up.

On 6 March 1749, Peter was forced to sell 100 acres of his 230 acre tract to Henry Ivey Jr.

13 March 1754, Peter Hayes IV became heavily indebted to John Frances Hilliard and for partial payment of debts, sold his remaining 130 acres to him. Peter and Martha Hayes due to poverty were forced to go live with Peters son Reuben Hayes in Halifax.

After Peter's death on 1 Mar 1761, he was still heavily indebted to John Francis Hilliard and in 1786 ( some 25 years later) at the estate closure of his grand-son Arthur Hayes, Peter's debts were finally paid in full.

It has been rumored that Peter Hayes IV lived on Cashey Swamp, however that is not the case.

The Peter Hayes that lived on Cashey Swamp who married Bether (Beatrice) Watson. was the son of Thomas Hayes and Sarah his wife. Who also had a son named Richard. And Thomas Hayes (1706) and John Hayes (1705), the John Hayes Planter who gifted Jesse Hayes, Son of Arthur Hayes and Mary Winborne 100 Acres on Urahah Swamp in 1778, the same John and Thomas Hayes that bought land in Elk Marsh, Halifax, North Carolina, were the sons of Peter Hayes IV.
Sawyer Hayes, was also the son of Peter Hayes.

16 August 1691 Deed from Robert Flake to three grand-sons: GPS coodinates are as follows:
1. 36 degrees 57 minutes 17.4 seconds North. Southeast corner.
2. 36 degrees 57 minutes 21.97 seconds North, Southwest corner.
3. 36 degrees 58 minutes 12.96 seconds North, Northwest corner.
4. 36 degrees 58 minutes 10.96 seconds North, Northeast corner.
5. follow the run of Mill Swamp to the first station. This is the famed Hayes "Blackwater Plantation". Jonetown Drive and Rattlesnake Trail run through Peter Hayes IV's middle division. Where Jonestown Drive turns Southeast at Mill Swamp is the south boundry of Peter's division. Where you see a cross in the middle of an orchard (field) is the north boundry of Peter's division. This middle division was split North-South at this cross by Arthur Hayes.

11600 William and his line are called "Taillefer" ("cleaver of iron"); died or buried at St. Cybard Abbey per Collins.

William was the first called Taillefer. He took the surname from slaying Norman King, Stosis, by one blow. Angouleme is a city of Southwestern France, Capital of Department of Charente, formerly of the provence of Angounois, of wich it was also the captial. The countship dated from the 9th century. Gen. New Series II, p. 8-9; Shull, Burdsall, Stockton and Allied Families by McCahan p. 224.
