755	Anne Talbot of Albrighton was a descendant of Humphrey De Bohun (himself a descendant of Magna Charta Surety Henry De Bohun) who m. Elizabeth Plantagenet of the House of Anjou-Plantagent (Kings of England). Albrighton was mentioned in the Domesday book as Albricston or the home/farm of Albric, it received its charter in 1303, which was renewed in 1662 for rather unusual reasons. The charter declared that "because Albrighton (then) adjoined Staffordshire on the east, south and west sides, felons and other malefactors fled Staffordshire to escape prosecution because there was no resident justice of the peace in that part of Shropshire". The parish church, dedicated to Mary Magdalene was completed in around 1181, and some rebuilding work was done in 1853. It is built of red sandstone in the Norman style. The church contains an Alabaster monument to Sir Craig Wilson, as well as the Albrighton Mace donated to the village in 1663, by Lady Mary Talbot. The east window of the church dates from the 14th century. For most of the 14th century and into the 15th the manor of Albrighton, together with Ryton, was held by the Carles, Careles or Careless family. The Carles were connected by marriage to the Lestranges (Lords Strange of Blackmere) and the Talbots. Albrighton left the control of this family with the marriage of an heiress to a member of the Corbet family in the reign of Henry VI. The Earl of Shrewsbury is the premier Earl of England and until 1918, the biggest land owner in Albrighton. They were originally the Talbot family, many of whom are buried in Albrighton Church. Early in the 17th century, Albrighton was noted for making buttons and then in the 18th century clock making flourished. By 1880 it was bricks, but by and large, agriculture was the main industry before the building of the railways.	Talbot, Anne (I1202)
756	Another Pioneer Gone; Mrs. Rachel M. Sears died Friday, March 11, at Aurora, Neb. Mrs. Rachel M. Sears, widow of the late Archibald Sears, died last Friday morning [10 Mar 1905] at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. F.C. Mather, of Aurora, Neb., where she had made her home for the last eight years. Death resulted from the infirmity of old age, Mrs. Sears having been in her 87th year. After a service at Aurora Sunday, the body was brought to Plano accompanied by Mrs. Mather, Charles Sears of Hyannis, Neb., and Miss Ethel Henning, who was upon a visit to Aurora when the death of her grandmother occurred. The final service was held at the residence of the eldest daughter of the deceased, Mrs. E.L. Henning, at 1:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, and besides the relatives was attended by a number of friends from Chicago and Steward and from Sandwich, where Mrs. Sears resided for twenty-two years. The Rev. G.H. Robertson of Sandwich conducted the service. The burial was in the Archibald Sears lot in the Plano Cemetery. Rachel Carver was one of the fast dwindling little band of surviving pioneers who settled the vicinity of Plano. She was the daughter of David T. and Sharley Carver and was born at Hebron, Conn., October 26, 1818. She was one of eleven children of whom Mrs. George Steward of Plano is the sole survivor. In 1836 when a girl of 18 years, Rachel Carver started on the pioneer journey which brought her eventually to Illinois. She stopped first with her sister, Mrs. John Hollister, at Hollisterville, Pa., where she taught school for two years. In the spring of 1838 she joined the party composed of John Hollister's and Marcus Steward's families which was starting for the west. She accompanied the pioneers to Angola, Ind., where she joined her brother William and Dr. Lewis Carver. There she taught school until she was married November 1, 1840 to Adonijah Smith. Two children born in this union died in infancy and in 1844 Mr. Smith died also. In 1845 she started for Illinois to join her sister, Mrs. Hollister, who was then settled on the site of the future Plano. For two years she taught school at Bristol and August 23, 1850, she was married to Archibald Sears. The following sixteen years the family lived on the farm east of Plano removing in 1866 to Sandwich and in 1888 returning to Plano where Mr. Sears died in 1893. Mrs. Sears is survived by one sister, Mrs. George Steward, six children--Charles Sears and Mrs. F.C. Mather, Aurora, Neb., Sherman Sears, Hyannis, Neb., Mrs. E.L. Henning and Albert Sears, Plano, and Mrs W.L. Miller, Crawfordsville, Ind., by a step-son James M. Sears of Plano, twenty grand-children and one great grand-child. - Kendall County News, 15 Mar 1905	Carver, Rachel Maria (I128)

758	Benjamin4 Cooley was born 5 Nov 1701, probably in the long meddowe precinct of Springfield, Hampshire County, Massachusetts. He was twice married, first to Elisabeth Charles, second to Mary Needham. In Mass Vital Records microfilmed by LDS Church there is an entry: #9-Greenwich p36 "Mary daughter of Benjn Cooley by Mary his wife was born Dec 24, 1768". This is highly unlikely since there was already a Mary Cooley b. 1750, d. 1769. While the first Mary died young in 1769 and sometimes families, who lost a child renamed a later child the same name, there is overlap here.	Cooley, Benjamin4 (I53)
759	Bertrade de Montfort (c. 1070 - 14 February 1117) was the daughter of Simon I de Montfort and Agnes, Countess of Evreux. Her brother was Amaury de Montfort. The oft-married Fulk IV, Count of Anjou, was married 1089, when the lovely Bertrade de Monfort caught his eye. According to the chronicler John of Marmoutier: "The lecherous Fulk then fell passionately in love with the sister of Amaury de Montfort, whom no good man ever praised save for her beauty." Bertrade and Fulk were married. William of Malmesbury says: "Bertrade, still young and beautiful, took the veil at Fontevraud Abbey, always charming to men, pleasing to God, and like an angel." A son from this marriage was Fulk V of Anjou who later became King of Jerusalem. The dynasties founded by Fulk IV's sons ruled for centuries, one of them in England (the Plantagenet Kings), the other in Jerusalem In 1092 Bertrade left Fulk IV and took up with King Philip I of France whom she married 15 May 1092, despite the fact that they both had living spouses. Pope Urban II excommunicated Philp in 1095 an action that prevented him from taking part in the First Crusade. According to Orderic Vitalis, Bertrade was anxious that one of her sons succeed Philip so she sent a letter to King Henry I of England asking him to arrest her stepson Louis. Orderic also claims she sought to kill Louis first through the arts of sorcery, and then through poison. Whatever the truth of these allegations, Louis succeeded Philip in 1108. -Wikipedia	de Montfort, Bertrade (I1255)
760	Billerica Massachusetts. In the early 1630s a Praying Indian village named Shawsheen was at the current site of Billerica. In 1638, Massachusetts Bay Colony Governor John Winthrop and Lt. Governor Thomas Dudley were granted land along the Concord River in the wilderness which was called Shawshin by the local Native Americans. Most of the settlement was to take place under the supervision of Cambridge; however, financial difficulties in the colony prevented this from taking place, and the issue of settling Shawshin continued to be deferred. Finally, in 1652, roughly a dozen families from Cambridge and Charlestown Village, later Woburn, had begun to occupy Shawshin as well. Wishing to replace the foreign-sounding Shawshin with a name more familiar, the settlers chose the name Billerica, likely due to the fact that the majority of the families living in the settlement were originally from the town of Billericay in Essex, England. The town was incorporated as Billerica in 1655, on the same day as nearby Chelmsford and Groton.	Baldwin, John (I680)
761	Bohun is the name of a family that played an important part in English history during the 13th and 14th centuries. It was taken from a village situated in the Cotentin between Coutances and the estuary of the Vire. The Bohuns came into England at, or shortly after, the Norman Conquest. The lands of the family lay chiefly on the Welsh Marches.	de Bohun, Humphrey (I1807)

764	Clarissa Wood Cooley The death of Mrs. Cooley deserved more than a passing notice, and as in the case of the late Marcus Wood (brother), should have had it several weeks ago, nothing but a lack of data preventing it. Mrs. Cooley was born March 16, 1814 in Oneida Co, NY. Moved to Niagara [County] NY wither her parents Andrew and Azubah Wood, in her 18th year. She was united in marriage to Benjamin Cooley Feb 26th 1832. In October of the same year, in company with her husband, his father and mother, and three brother, she left Niagara for the purpose of making a him in the then wilderness of Michigan [Territory]. She came with team through Canada arriving at the home of Samuel Cooley, one mile south, and 3/4 miles west of Romeo (on what is now known as the Westbrook farm) about the 23d or 24th of the same month [October 1832]. She moved to the farm [which farm] on which she afterward lived until called away by death Feb 23d 1887. She was 72 years and 11 months old. Her funeral was held Feb 26, that day being the anniversary of her wedding. Those who knew her for so many hears speak in the highest terms of her character as wife, mother, and neighbor. - From a newspaper clipping only; no newspaper or date saved.	Wood, Clarissa (I2322)

766	Concord Massachusetts. The area that became the Town of Concord was originally known as "Musketaquid", situated at the confluence of the Sudbury and Assabet rivers. Native Americans had cultivated corn crops there; the rivers were rich with fish and the land was lush and arable. However, the area was largely depopulated by the smallpox plague that swept across the Americas after the arrival of Europeans. In 1635, a group of British settlers led by Rev. Peter Bulkley and Simon Willard negotiated a land purchase with the remnants of the local tribe; that six-square-mile purchase formed the basis of the new town, which was called "Concord" in appreciation of the peaceful acquisition. The Battle of Lexington and Concord was the initial conflict in the American Revolutionary War. On April 19, 1775, a force of British Army regulars marched from Boston to Concord (pausing for an early-morning skirmish at Lexington, where the first shots of the Battle were fired) to capture a cache of arms that was reportedly stored in the town. Forewarned of the British troop movements, colonists from Concord and surrounding towns repulsed a British detachment at the Old North Bridge and forced the British troops to retreat. The battle was initially publicized by the colonists as an example of British brutality and aggression: one colonial broadside decried the "Bloody Butchery of the British Troops". A century later, however, the conflict was remembered proudly by Americans, taking on a patriotic, almost mythic status in works like the "Concord Hymn" and "Paul Revere's Ride".	Heywood, Sarah (I679)
767	Cooley, Andrew Wood, the first Bishop of the Brighton Ward (Salt Lake Stake), Salt Lake county, Utah, was born May 24, 1837, at Bruce, McComb county, Michigan, the son of Benjamin Cooley and Clarissa Wood. In 1858 (June 1st) he married Dinah Briggs at St. Claire, Michigan. She never came to Utah and had no children. Bro. Cooley migrated to Utah in 1863, where he became a convert to "Mormonism" and was baptitzed in 1864, being the only one of his father's family who joined the Church and also the only one of his father's children who raised a family. In Utah he engaged in farming and stock raising, and in 1866 (Feb. 17th) he married Mary Asenath Huntington, who was born May 31, 1846, in Cambria, Niagara county, New York, and bore her husband seven children, namely, Clarissa M., Andrew W., Benetta B., George W., Harold Ghesa, Chester N., and May Asenath. When the Saints residing on the west side of the Jordan river, immediately west of Salt Lake City, were organized into the Brighton Ward of the Salt Lake Stake, Bro. Cooley was chosen and ordained a Bishop and set apart to preside over said Ward, the ordination taking place Feb. 24, 1867. He held that position until 1877. In 1868 (Feb. 22nd) Bishop Cooley, yielding obedience to the higher law of marriage, was united to Jane Jenkins, who was born June 25, 1844, and who bore her husband eight children, namely, William J., John B., Henry W., Alva L., Melissa J., Fanny Elizabeth, Samuel B., and Ethel C. On the same date (Feb. 22, 1868) Bro. Cooley married Rachel Caroline Coon (daughter of Abraham Coon of Ohio and Elizabeth Yarbrough of Tennessee) who was born March 22, 1848, at Council Bluffs, Iowa, and came to Utah with her parents in 1850. She bore her husband nine children, namely, Samuel B., Idabel, Maretta E., Isabel, Lucretia May, Oscar W., Andrew W. junior, Abraham C., and Francis Ann. In 1870 (February 14th) Bro. Cooley married Ann Hazen (daughter of Robert Hazen and Mary Ann Bainbridge of Newcastle, England) who was born Sept. 25, 1854, in England. Her children (eight in number) were Marcus R., John S., Ezra H., Mary A., Martha J., Inez, Arthur D., and Walter A. Bishop Cooley died Oct. 11, 1887, at his home in Brighton. His descendants in 1919 numbered more than 120 souls; they are all members of the Church and all abstainers from the use of intoxicants and tobacco. A number of them are occupying prominent Church and secular positions in the community. Thus Ezra H. Cooley acts as Stake superintendent of Sunday schools in the Hyrum Stake, Utah; Henry W. Cooley is superintendent of the West Jordan (Salt Lake county) Sunday school; Lucretia May is treasurer in the Liberty Stake Relief Society, and many others hold positions in different Wards. Abraham C. has filled a mission to Germany, Ezra H. to Australia and Henry W. to the Central States. Arthur Dyke Cooley is a practising physician at Brigham City, Utah; Abraham C. Cooley is agriculturist, in charge of demonstration of reclamation projects for the U. S. government in sixteen western States, and Lucretia May held the position of deputy county clerk in Salt Lake county for nine years. This large family has been remarkably united, each working for the benefit of the whole, with four of the best mothers that were ever given in marriage to any man. For so-called infraction of the Edmund's law* Bishop Cooley served two terms in the Utah penitentiary, during which he suffered severely from the illness which soon after his release caused his demise. * The Edmunds Act, also known as the Edmunds Anti-Polygamy Act of 1882, is a United States federal statute, signed into law on March 23, 1882 by president Chester A. Arthur, declaring polygamy a felony in federal territories. The act is named for U.S. Senator George F. Edmunds of Vermont. The act called for heavy fines and imprisonment for those guilty of "unlawful cohabitation".	Cooley, Andrew Wood (I2311)

Unfortunately, records from that period are missing. William was described as a glover* by occupation when his youngest son Joseph was baptised in 1618. *Glover - a person who makes or sells gloves.

769	Coventry was first settled in the early 18th century, when the town was part of Warwick. Since the area was so far away from the center of Warwick, the area that became Coventry grew very slowly. However, by 1741, enough farmers (about 100 families) had settled in the area that they petitioned the General Assembly of Rhode Island to create their own town. The petition was granted, and the new town was named Coventry, Coventry was named after the English city of Coventry. For the rest of the 18th century, Coventry remained a rural town populated by farmers. During the War of Independence, the people of Coventry were supporters of the patriot cause. Nathanael Greene, a resident of Coventry, rose through the ranks to become a leading general of the American army. By the end of the war, Greene was second in command in the US army after George Washington. Kent County is a county located in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It was formed in 1750 from the southern third of Providence County. As of 2010, the population was 166,158.	Welch, Rachel (I1869)
770	DAR Patriot: Connecticut, Ensign, 9th Co, 4th Regt, Jan 1780 Letter of Administration, Dutchess County, New York from Surrogate Office's Records Liber C p33. Summary: Lyman Sherwood appointed executor of Jehiel Sherwood's estate; officially recorded at Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, New York on 24 Oct 1807 The People of the State of New-York by the Grace of God, Free and Independent. To Lymen Sherwood of the town of South East in this County of Dutchess son of Jehial Sherwood deceased. Whereas Jehial Sherwood of the Town of South East in said County as is alledged, lately died intestate, having whilst living, and at the time of his Death, Goods, Chattels, or Credits within this state...do grant unto you the said Lymen Sherwood full power by these presents, to administer, and faithfully dispose of all and singular the said Goods...And we do by these presents, depute, constitute and appoint you the said Lymen Sherwood Administrator of all and singular the Goods, Chattels and Credits which were of the said Jehial Sherwood. IN TESTIMONY whereof, we have caused the seal of office of our said Surrogate to be hereunto affixed. Witness James Talimadge(?)...Esquire, Surrogate of the said county, at Poughkeepsie, the twenty fourth day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seven and of our Independence the thirty second...James ______ Dutchess County...Recorded the preceding Letter of Administration to Lyman Sherwood this twenty fourth day of October 1807 "James Sears was present in the probate of Jehiel Sherwood's estate" - taken from a letter to Hubert Andrew Arnold from a professional genealogist identified as "Box 480, Salt Point" [Salt Point is a hamlet in Dutchess County, New York, United States. It lies northeast of Poughkeepsie following New York Route 115, the Salt Point Turnpike]. This statement is very important with respect to establishing circumstantial evidence that Mehitible Sherwood, James Sears' wife, was the daughter of Jehiel Sherwood. South East, New York The first settler arrived around 1730. The area first exploited was called "The Oblong," and was outside of the land claimed by the Philipse Patent. Due to a border dispute between New York and Connecticut the area between the undisputed border of NY and the undisputed border of CT was an approximately 4-mile-wide area which ran the full north-south dimension of Dutchess County. This was called the Oblong. Land was sold in this area both by the governor of NY and the King of England for Connecticut, with conflicting deeds. The boundary was settled in New York's favor by the 1731 Treaty of Dover. A southern portion of the Oblong was alternately known as Southeast as it was the southeasternmost town in Dutchess County. It consisted of the eastern half of the current Town of Patterson, and the eastern half of the current town of Southeast. The western half of the current town of Southeast was part of the large Phillipse Patent which had not yet been divided into towns. The most heavily-settled area of the Oblong at this point was the "city" of Frederickstown, now the hamlet of Patterson. The town of Southeast, then still including its portion of the Oblong, was founded in 1788, and formed the southeast corner of Dutchess County. In 1795, the town that had been Southeast's neighbor, Frederickstown was divided into the present Carmel, Kent, and Patterson, the latter two known at first as "Frederick" and "Franklin." At that time, Southeast lost its northern half to Patterson, and expanded to the west to become the shape it is now. Putnam County split from Dutchess in 1812. The most densely populated area in the town is the village of Brewster.	Sherwood, Jehiel (I141)

Grandaughter of Benjamin Cooley and Ruth Beach. Benjamin Cooley (1747-1810) commanded a company of Vermont militia, 1778. He responded to various alarms under Col. Ebenezer Allen and Col. Gideon Warren. He was born in Greenwich MA and died in Pittsford VT. Greenwich was originally part of an area known as Narragansett Township Number Four and was settled by land grantees in the 1730s who had served England in the Indian Wars against the Narragansetts. The area became known as "Quabbin Parish" or "Quabbin Plantation" when the Rev. Pelatiah Webster was ordained in 1749. The towne of Greenwich was incorporated per Chapter 37 of the Massachusetts laws on April 20, 1754. It was located along the East and Middle branches of the Swift River. Greenwich and three other towns were disincorporated on April 28, 1938 as part of the creation of the Quabbin Reservoir. Upon disincorporation, portions of the town were annexed to the adjacent towns of Hardwick, New Salem, Petersham, and Ware. It is now largely below water, except for the hilltops of Curtis Hill, Mount Liz, and Mount Pomeroy which are now islands. Extracts From the Rutland Weekly Herald 1800-1805 by Dawn D.

776	Eastham In November of 1620 a hunting expedition from the Mayflower landed in the area on Cape Cod that became known as Eastham. This led to the "First Encounter": the Pilgrims and the local Nauset Native American tribe. However, the area, then known as Nauset, would not be settled by Europeans until 1644. By that time the settlers had become disenchanted with Plymouth with William Bradford writing of "the straightness and barrenness of the land" and commenting on the desire of many colonists to find a better location. A committee of seven freemen, led by Thomas Prence, was sent to evaluate Nauset and it was determined it was too small and remote to accommodate the entire population of Plymouth. Nonetheless, those seven men and their families, 49 hardy souls in all, remained and formed the new settlement with a strip by the harbor at the east side reserved for the Nausets to grow corn. Nauset continued as a settlement until 1646, when the General Court of Plymouth incorporated it as a town. The name of the town was changed to Eastham in 1661.	Crosby, Sarah (I481)

778	Edward Aston of Tixall was a descendant of William de Ferrers who was a descendant of Margaret de Quincy who was a descendant of Magna Charta Suriety Saier de Quincy (a Crusader who died in Palestine 3 Nov 1219). Tixall is a small village and former civil parish in the English county of Staffordshire lying on the western side of the Trent valley between Rugeley and Stone, Staffordshire and roughly 4 miles east of Stafford. Deriving from the Old English 'Ticheshale' the name is said to mean 'hollow of the goats'. The village, and former civil parish, of Ingestre is nearby. The civil parishes of Tixall and Ingestre were merged into a single parish of Ingestre with Tixall in 1979. A notable building of Tixall is Church of St John the Baptist. At this site a free chapel has existed since the 12th century but the present church was built in 1848 by the Hon John Chetwynd Talbot, son of the 2nd Earl Talbot of Ingestre. It is built of local sandstone with a roof of Staffordshire blue tiles. The floor tiles are by Minton. The oldest grave in the churchyard is reputed to date from 1627.	Aston, Edward (I1196)
779	Edward I House of Plantagenet, King of England 1272-1307 Known as "Longshanks" for his extraordinary height, Edward, son of King Henry III, was a strong-willed, militaristic king who succeeded in subduing Wales but failed to conquer Scotland. He made significant changes to feudal law, strengthening both the Crown and Parliament at the cost of the old nobility. Edward Longshanks was a statesman, lawyer and soldier. He formed the Model Parliament in 1295, bringing together the knights, clergy, nobility and burgesses of the cities, bringing Lords and Commons together for the first time. Aiming at a united Britain, he defeated the Welsh chieftains and desgnated his eldest son Prince of Wales.	Plantagenet, Edward I Longshanks (I1242)
780	Eleanor de Bohun, Countess of Ormond (17 Oct 1304 - 7 Oct 1363) was an English noblewoman born in Knaresborough Castle to Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford and Elizabeth daughter of King Edward I of England and Eleanor of Castile. After the deaths of her parents, she was placed in the care of her aunt Mary Plantagenet and brought up at Amesbury Priory. Eleanor was married twice; first in 1327 to James Butler, 1st Earl of Ormond, (son of Edmund Butler, Earl of Carrick and Lady Joan FitzGerald) who died in 1337 and secondly, in 1343, to Thomas de Dagworth who was killed in Brittany in 1352. By her first marriage, Eleanor was an ancestor of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Parr, Queen consorts of King Henry VIII of England. Other descendants include the dukes of Beaufort, Newcastle, Norfolk, earls of Ormond, Desmond, Shrewsbury, Dorset, Rochester, Sandwich, Arundel, and Stafford.	de Bohun, Eleanor (I1239)
781	Eleanor of Castile (Abt 1241 - 28 Nov 1290) was the first queen consort of Edward I of England. She was also Countess of Ponthieu in her own right from 1279 until her death in 1290, succeeding her mother and ruling together with her husband. Eleanor was born in Castile [Hispania] daughter of Saint Ferdinand, King of Castile and Leon and his second wife, Joan, Countess of Ponthieu. Her Castilian name, Leonor, became Alienor or Alianor in England, and Eleanor in modern English. She was the second of five children born to Fernando and Jeanne. Her elder brother Fernando was born in 1239/40, her younger brother Louis in 1242/43; two sons born after Louis died young. For the ceremonies in 1291 marking the first anniversary of Eleanor's death, 49 candlebearers were paid to walk in the public procession to commemorate each year of her life. This would date her birth to the year 1241. Ponthieu was one of six feudal counties that eventually merged to become part of the Province of Picardy, in northern France. Its chief town was Abbeville. During the Hundred Years' War* (roughly 1337-1453), Ponthieu changed hands a number of times In late August of 1346, during his campaigns on French soil, Edward III of England reached the region of Ponthieu. While there, he restored the fortress at Crotoy that had been ruined. In April, 1369 Charles V of France conquered Ponthieu, and a month later declared war on England. In 1372 an English army under the leadership of Robert Knolles invaded Ponthieu, burning the city of Le Crotoy. Also during the Hundred Years' War; in 1435, Charles VII of France bribed Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, to break his alliance with the English in exchange for possession of Ponthieu. *The Hundred Years' War was a series of wars waged from 1337 to 1453 by the House of Valois and the House of Plantagenet, also known as the House of Anjou, for the French throne, which had become vacant upon the extinction of the senior Capetian line of French kings. The House of Valois claimed the title of King of France, while the Plantagenets claimed the thrones of both France and England. The Plantagenet kings were the 12th-century rulers of the kingdom of England, and had their roots in the French regions of Anjou and Normandy. The conflict lasted 116 years but was punctuated by several periods of peace, before it finally ended with the expulsion of the Plantagenets from France (except from the Pale of Calais) by the House of Valois. However, the war nearly ruined the Valois, while the Plantagenets enriched themselves with plunder. France suffered greatly from the war, since most of the conflict occurred in that country. The "war" was in fact a series of conflicts and is commonly divided into three or four phases: the Edwardian War (1337-1360), the Caroline War (1369-1389), the Lancastrian War (1415-1429), and the slow decline of Plantagenet fortunes after the appearance of Joan of Arc (1412-1431). Several other contemporary European conflicts were directly related to this conflict: the Breton War of Succession, the Castilian Civil War, the War of the Two Peters, and the 1383-1385 Crisis. The term "Hundred Years' War" was a later term invented by historians to describe the series of events	Leanor of Castile (I1243)
782	Elizabeth Butler was a descendant of Humphrey De Bohun (himself a descendant of Magna Charta Surety Henry De Bohun) who m. Elizabeth Plantagenet of the House of Anjou-Plantagent (Kings of England). Carrick-on-Suir (originally called Carrig Mac Griffin) was formed on an island settlement upstream of Waterford. (The town remained as an island until the 18th century, when small rivers were diverted to form dry land north and west of the town).The earliest known records of a settlement are dated to 1247, when a charter of 3 fairs per year was awarded to Matthew Fitzgriffin, Lord of the manor of Carrick, and a member of the Hiberno-Norman nobility. By the early 14th century, Carrick Mac Griffin had become home to a prosperous Hiberno-Norman family - the Butlers. The first significant leader of the Butler clan, Edmond Butler (a.k.a. Edmund le Bottilier) was created Earl of Carrick in 1315. However, his son James did not inherit the title. Instead, 7 years after the death of his father, he was created Earl of Ormond in his own right. In 1447, Edmund MacRichard Butler founded the first bridge over the estuary at Carrick-on-Suir. Other notable members of the Butler clan were Thomas Butler, 10th Earl of Ormond (a.k.a. Black Tom) who built the Tudor Manor House extension to Ormonde Castle and James the 12th Earl and 1st Duke of Ormond, who founded the town's woollen industry in 1670. Edmond le Bottiler erected two large, heavily garrisoned castle keeps named the Plantagenet Castle on the north bank of the Suir, just east of what is now Main St. In the 15th century, a four towered castle was erected on the same site, two of which are now incorporated into the Elizabethan Manor House built by Black Tom Butler, c. 1560.

First marriage In April 1285 there were negotiations with Floris V for Elizabeth's betrothal to his son John I, Count of Holland. The offer was accepted and John was sent to England to be educated. On 8 Jan 1297 Elizabeth was married to John at Ipswich. In attendance at the marriage were Elizabeth's sister Margaret, her father, Edward I of England, her brother Edward, and Humphrey de Bohun. After the wedding Elizabeth was expected to go to Holland with her husband, but did not wish to go, leaving her husband to go alone. It was later decided Elizabeth should follow her husband so she and her father traveled through the Southern Netherlands between Antwerp, Mechelen, Leuven and Brussels, before ending up in Ghent. On 10 Nov 1299, John died of dysentery. No children had been born from the marriage. Second marriage On 14 November 1302 Elizabeth was married to Humphrey de Bohun at Westminster Abbey.	Plantagenet, Elizabeth (I1241)
785	Empress Matilda was the daughter of Henry I, King of England and granddaughter of William the Conqueror thus a descendant of the House of Normandy, Kings of England. She was married 22 May 1128, to Geffroi Plantagenet at Le Mans Cathedral and was declared heir-presumptive by her father, Henry I, and acknowledged as such by the barons. However, upon Henry I's death in 1135, the throne was seized by Matilda's cousin, Stephen of Blois after which The Anarchy followed. Matilda was de facto ruler for a few months in 1141, but she was never crowned and is rarely listed as a monarch of England.	Matilda of England (I1251)
786	Ermengarde Heiress of Anjou was born circa 1010/1015 and died on March 21, 1076. Ermengard was the sister of Geoffrey "Martel", Count of Anjou who was born on October 14, 996 and d.s.p. (decessit sine prole, died without issue) on November 14, 1066. Thus, Ermengard's descendants became the Counts of Anjou.	Ermengarde (I1256)
787	Farmington Hills is the second largest city in Oakland County in the U.S. state of Michigan and a northwestern suburb of Detroit. The first white settler in what became Farmington Township was a Quaker from Farmington, New York, named Arthur Power. He purchased land in 1823, left, then returned in 1824 with a group of family and associates to clear the land. The settlement became known as Quakertown. A post office was established Quakertown in January 1826 with the name of Farmington. Shortly, the township of Farmington was organized in 1827. In 1839 a post office named East Farmington was established but it only lasted for three years. In 1847, a post office named North Farmington was established a mile south of the township line as Wolcott's Corners. After the death of postmaster Chauncey D. Walcott in 1865, the office moved to the township line in the northeast quarter of section 4 (near the intersection of 14 Mile Road and Farmington Road). The settlement incorporated as the village of Farmington in the winter of 1866-67. A fire on October 9, 1872, destroyed many buildings in the center of the village. Farmington incorporated as a city in 1926. Farmington Hills initially was part of the city of Farmington but it incorporated as a seoarate city in 1973.	Cooley, Mary Isabel (I82)

The Crusaders set up the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem after killing many thousands of the Arab and Jewish inhabitants of the area. At its greatest extent under Fulk "le Jeun", the Kingdom comprised most of present day Israel and part of Syria. Muslim counterattack steadily shrank the size of the crusading kingdom. In 1187, Jerusalem was retaken by by Saladin. Eventually, the last Christian stronghold at Acre surrendered in 1291 and the Crusaders departed from the Holy Land.

794	Geoffrey "the Fair" Plantagenet was the first to use the Plantagenet name. One story relates that his father, Fulk the Younger atoned for some evil deed by being scourged with broom twigs or planta genista before the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Another story relates that Geoffrey wore a sprig of broom or planta genista in his hat. Regardless, it is generally agreed upon that the family name of-"Plantagenet"-has its origins with the planta genista or broom plant. The ancient arms of Anjou borne by the Plantagenet are described as "Gules, a Chief Argent over an Escarbuncle" which means "a red shield with a silver bar at the top and a gold cross of eight rays set with knobs and the arms ending in fleur-de-lis". Shields were sometimes strengthened with iron bands radiating from the centre which eventually became a part of the coat of arms under the term escarbuncle.	Plantagenet, Geoffroi V "the Fair" (I1250)

797	Gershom Bulkeley 1636 ManuscriptsHis manuscripts are currently in the collection of the Menczer Museum of Medicine and Dentistry*. After his return from King Philip's War, he asked a dismission from the church in Wethersfield, Colony of Connecticut, which was granted in 1677. He removed to the east side of the Connecticut River, and commenced practice as a physician, which he continued for over thirty years. As a magistrate and statesman, he was opposed to the assumption of the government by the colonial authorities in 1689. In that year he published, at Philadelphia, a pamphlet on the affairs of Connecticut. The same year he wrote a work titled: Will and Doom, or the miseries of Connecticut by and under usurped and abitrary power; being a narrative of the first erection and exercise, but especially of the late changes and administration of government in their Majesties Colony of New England in America. Though never printed for wide distribution, it was sent to England by the Governor of New York some dozen years later as the most reliable account of New England to be found. -------------*The Menczer Museum of Medicine & Dentistry is closed to the public as of October 1, 2008. We are packing the exhibits in preparation for the move to The University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington CT in 2009. The displays will be changing and not all items will be on exhibit as in the past. Some parts of the collection will be at the Tunxis Community College and the local hospitals. The Fones School of Dental Hygiene will also have some significant pieces from the dental collection. Apparently Menczer has moved one more time since 2009, back to Hartford where Its new address is 230 Scarborough St, Hartford, CT 06105. However, conflicting information states: "[The] collections now at area hospitals and Tunxis Community College". - Wikipedia	Bulkeley, Gershom (I1734)
798	Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford, 7th Earl of Gloucester (2 Sep 1243 - 7 Dec 1295) was a powerful English noble. He was also known as Gilbert the Red probably because of his hair colour. Gilbert de Clare was born at Christchurch, Hampshire, England, the son of Richard de Clare, Earl of Hertford and Gloucester, and of Maud de Lacy, Countess of Lincoln, daughter of John de Lacy and Margaret de Quincy. Gilbert inherited his father's estates in 1262. He took on the titles, including Lord of Glamorgan, from 1263. He was a Magna Charta Surety. In April 1264, Gilbert de Clare led the massacre of the Jews at Canterbury, as Simon de Montfort had done in Leicester. On 20 October 1264, Gilbert and his associates were excommunicated by Pope Clement IV, and his lands placed under an interdict. In the following month, by which time they had obtained possession of Gloucester and Bristol, the Earl was proclaimed to be a rebel. On 24 June 1268 he took the Cross at Northampton in repentance and contrition for his past misdeeds. He died at Monmouth Castle on 7 December 1295, and was buried at Tewkesbury Abbey, on the left side of his grandfather Gilbert de Clare. His extensive lands were enjoyed by his surviving wife Joan of Acre until her death in 1307. Monmouth Castle is located close to the centre of Monmouth town, Monmouthshire, Wales on a hill towering over the River Monnow, behind shops and the main square and streets. Once an important border castle, it stood until the English Civil War* when it was damaged and changed hands three times before suffering the indignity of slighting to prevent it being fortified again. After partial collapse in 1647, the site was reused and built over by Castle House. It was built by William FitzOsbern, 1st Earl of Hereford, the castle builder, in around 1067 to 1071 and shares some similarities with Chepstow Castle, another of FitzOsbern's designs further south on the River Wye in Monmouthshire. *The English Civil War (1642-1651) was a series of armed conflicts and political machinations between Parliamentarians (Roundheads) and Royalists (Cavaliers). The first (1642-46) and second (1648-49) civil wars pitted the supporters of King Charles I against the supporters of the Long Parliament, while the third war (1649-51) saw fighting between supporters of King Charles II and supporters of the Rump Parliament. The Civil War ended with the Parliamentary victory at the Battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651. The wars led to the trial and execution of Charles I, the exile of his son, Charles II, and replacement of English monarchy with first, the Commonwealth of England (1649-53), and then with a Protectorate (1653-59), under Oliver Cromwell's personal rule. The monopoly of the Church of England on Christian worship in England ended with the victors consolidating the established Protestant Ascendancy in Ireland. Constitutionally, the wars established the precedent that an English monarch cannot govern without Parliament's consent, although this concept was legally established only with the Glorious Revolution later in the century.	de Clare, Gilbert (I1222)
