Grace Chetwood (Chetwode) was a descendant of the House of Anjou-Plantaganet. She also was a descendant of Magna Charta Sureties Saier de Quincy and John de Lacy. Others in her ancestry were the House of Normandy, Kings of Scotland, House of Capet, Kings of France, Carolingians, Emporers of the West, Emporers of the East, Princes of Wales, and Spanish Rulers. From Bulkeley "...Grace Chetwood was descended form an ancient family of Buckinghamshire [Chetwode]...we rely chiefly on the pedigree from the parchment roll which some years ago was in the possession of Sir George Chetwode...She...stemmed from manorial families and it so chances that through her great-grand-mother, Anne Talbot, she descended from many of the great historic families of England, such as the Talbots, the Percys, and the Nevills...Anne Talbot had fourteen legitimate lines of descent from the first Plantagenet King of England." | Chetwood, Grace (I616)

He was connected with the royal house of Scotland through his mother Margaret, a sister of William the Lion, an alliance which no doubt assisted him in obtaining the earldom from John He was among the twenty-five barons (the Sureties or "King's Ordainers") who were elected by their fellows to enforce the terms of the Magna Charta of 1215.

Hubbardton is a town in Rutland County, Vermont, United States. The town was named for Thomas Hubbard, a landholder. The population was 752 at the 2000 census. The town was the site of the Battle of Hubbardton where British forces attacked Americans during the Saratoga Campaign of 1777.
Battle of Hubbardtown One of the most successful rear guard actions in American history, the Battle of Hubbardton was the only Revolutionary War battle fought entirely in Vermont. During the early morning hours of July 7, 1777, British General John Burgoyne's army met the resistance and bravery of Americans for the first time in the Battle of Hubbardton. A massive British invasion from Canada chased the Continental Army from Mount Independence south to Hubbardton. The British strategy was to continue to New York and divide New England from the rest of the colonies. The advancing British were seasoned Regulars. The Green Mountain Boys stayed behind to slow down the Redcoats so that the main force could retreat. On a grassy hill, the scrappy New Englanders made their stand. While the British held the field and technically won the battle, their losses were so heavy that they gave up chasing the Americans to tend to their casualties. The Battle of Hubbardton marked the beginning of the end for Burgoyne and his great plan. On August 16 he suffered a stunning blow at the Battle of Bennington. Soon after Burgoyne wrote about the people of Vermont as "the most active and most rebellious race on the continent" and that they were hanging "like a gathering storm" on his left. On October 17, 1777, after the battles of Saratoga, he surrendered with his entire Army. | Beach, Cooley (I1867)

Ira Morgan Barnhouse was born 14 Aug 1848 at Sharon, Noble County, Ohio. His youth was spent on a farm at the place of his birth. He enlisted in Co. B, 66th Ohio Volunteer Infantry* when but 15 years of age and served in the Union Army under Gen. Sherman on his triumphal [and unnecessarily destructive] "March to the Sea" through Georgia from Atlanta to Savannah then north through the Carolinas to Washington DC. He was honorably discharged at Louisville Kentucky July 20, 1865. He taught school in Ohio and Missouri from 1867 to 1873. He was married 3 Aug 1875 to Mary Francis Albin at Laurelville, Hocking County, Ohio to which union three children were born: Perl Travisd, Edna Maude, and Rose Ann Elizabeth. He engaged in various mercantile and industrial pursuits removing to Missouri, Nebraska, and Colorado in turn. He homesteaded February 1887 near Abbott, Washington County, Colorado. He was a Mason, having taken the degrees in Caldwell, Missouri at the age of 21. He was a Presbyterian by faith, having united with that church in 1876. His love of home and family gave him zeal and persistence in the field of human endeavor in their behalf. His wonderful energy but slight physical strength culminated in his enforced retirement from the more arduous labor of farm life in 1904 at which time he came to Akron, Colo. His confidence in its future was manifested in his real estate promotions at a time when many faltered. A nearly fatal accident** on 7 Nov 1907 from which he recovered through his power of will alone, left an imperfect cicatrice*** on his cheek. He was elected County Judge and began service in 1908. The facial problem he received in his accident, however, began to trouble him in 1911. It developed into cancer a year later and he was forced to resign his judgeship in 1912. The unequal struggle ended in his death at the Hahnemann Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., at four o'clock on the fourth day of April, 1914.

Jakob is the German spelling of the name Jacob in English. Jacob is a common male first name and a less well-known surname. Since 1999 and through 2010, Jacob has been the most popular baby name for newborn boys in United States. It is a cognate (a word is cognate with another if both derive from the same word in an ancestral language) of James. Jacob is derived from Late Latin Iacobus, from Greek Iakobos, from Hebrew Ya?qob, Ya?aqov, or Ya?aqo?, the name of the Hebrew patriarch, Jacob son of Isaac. It is a speaking name, referring to the circumstances of Jacob's birth, meaning "heel grabber" (from the Hebrew root "heel"; literally, it is a finite verb formed from this root, and would translate to something like "he heeled", since he held on to the heel of his twin brother Esau inside Rebekah's womb [who says so?]. Jacob may also mean "follower of God" in Aramaic. In a Christian context, the name Jacob - as James in English - is also associated with the apostles James, son of Zebedee who was the object of great veneration in the European Middle Ages, notably at Santiago de Compostela; James the Just, brother of Jesus, who led the original Christian community in Jerusalem; and James, son of Alphaeus. - Wikipedia | Bornhaus, Jakob Shreiner (I1299)

James Butler, 1st Earl of Ormond (c.1305- 6 Jan 1338 in Gowran, County Kilkenny), was a noble in the Peerage of Ireland. He was the son of Edmund Butler, Earl of Carrick, Justiciar of Ireland, (1268 - 13 Sep 1321) and Joan FitzGerald, Countess of Carrick. Upon his father's death in 1321, the only hereditary title that James held was that of Chief Butler Of Ireland. A gap of 7 years was to follow before James was rewarded for his loyalty to the Crown with an earldom in his own right. His benefactor, King Edward III created him the 1st Earl of Ormond by patent, bearing date 2 Nov 1328 at Salisbury. In 1336 he founded the friary of Carrick-Begg (a townland on the River Suir opposite Carrick-on-Suir) for Franciscan Friars. On 3 Jun 1336 he gave the friars his castle and estate of Carrick. He married in 1327, Lady Eleanor de Bohun, (17 Oct 1304 - 7 Oct 1363) daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford by his spouse Princess Elizabeth of Rhuddlan, the eight daughter of King Edward I of England and Eleanor of Castile.
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.
The peerage title Earl of Ormond and the related titles Duke of Ormonde and Marquess of Ormonde have a long and complex history. An earldom of Ormond has been created three times in the Peerage of Ireland. It was originally created in 1328 for James Butler. The fifth earl was created Earl of Wiltshire (1449) in the Peerage of England, but he was attainted in 1461 and his peerages were declared forfeit. The earldom of Ormond was restored to his younger brother, John Butler, the sixth earl. The de facto, if not indeed the de jure earl, Piers Butler, was induced to resign his rights to the title in 1528. This facilitated the next creation by awarding the titles of Ormond and Wiltshire to Thomas Boleyn, who was the father of Ann Boleyn. At that time, Anne was the mistress of King Henry VIII of England. As a maternal grandson of the 7th Earl, Thomas Boleyn has a slim claim to the title. Through his daughter, Anne, he was the grandfather of Elizabeth I of England. On the death of Boleyn, these peerages of the second creation became extinct because he lacked male heirs, his son George having been executed for treason. | Butler, James (I1238)

James Butler, 2nd Earl of Ormond (4 Oct 1331 - 18 Oct 1382) was a noble in the Peerage of Ireland. He was Lord Justice of Ireland in 1359, 1364, and 1376. He was given in ward 1 Sep 1344, to Maurice FitzGerald, 1st Earl of Desmond, for the fine of 2306 marcs and afterward to Sir John Darcy who married him to his daughter Elizabeth. He was usually called The Noble Earl, being a great-grandson of King Edward I of England. He died 18 October 1382 in his castle of Knocktopher (near which he had, in 1356, founded a Friary for Carmelite friars). He was buried in St. Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny. | Butler, James (I1236)

He was called the "White Earl" and was the patron of the Irish literary work, The Book of the White Earl. He was appointed Lord Deputy of Ireland in 1405, and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1420, 1425, and 1442. He built the castles of Nenagh, Roscrea and Templemore in the north of Tipperary and Tulleophelim in County Carlow. He died at Ardee on 23 August 1452 and was buried in St. Mary's Abbey near Dublin. | Butler, James (I1232)

Margaret May Sears was born 23 May 1912 in Akron, Washington County, Colorado, to Nelson Evans Sears and Edna Maude Barnhouse. She was born in her parent's house on the east side of town as were her elder brother, Alva Raymond, in 1910, and her younger sister, Faye Eleanor, in 1914, all delivered by a Dr. Kaylor. That house on the northeast corner of the block at present 5th and Date had some interesting history. Margaret's maternal grandparents, Ira Morgan Barnhouse and Mary Francis Albin, had moved the entire house from the country (Woodrow) into the east side of Akron several years before and had lived there until Nelson and Maude moved-in in 1910 just before Alva's birth. Ira and Mary consequently moved to a newly-built house on the southeast corner of the block (at present 4th & Date). But there's more. Nelson and Maude also moved their entire country house in (also from the Woodrow area) and had joined it to the house left by Ira and Mary. Margaret describes their house on the northeast corner of the block: "There was a driveway leading into the yard from the north where a car (or maybe a wagon, earlier) could park right by the back door. Across the driveway, west of the house, was our windmill. That's where we got our water for everything. Mother used a galvanized tub and a wash basin to do the [clothes] washing. The tub was moved into the kitchen for our weekly baths [our kitchen] opened out onto the back room (we always called it the back room) where mother washed [dishes] and where some things were stored and where the cellar was." The cellar (probably a storm cellar used to escape the dust) was a place of dark mystery: "A lift-up door opened up to the cellar where mother kept the jars of food she canned in the fall. Other foods that had to be kept cool were stored there. A black and scary hole in the ground I thought it to be." A barn stood to the west of the house, across what would now be the alley of that block. That barn, in fact, still stands in 2007 as depicted in the picture above. Margaret describes the barn: "There was the big red barn west of the house the north part of the barn was a garage. In the south part [were] stalls and mangers with an aisle running between them. My father kept a sow (for our supply of milk, plus a few families we sold to) for several years and in the west stall a horse named Dick." While the cellar was a mysterious hole in the ground the barn was a cornucopia of childhood delights, especially for the two girls of the family: "When we children were small we had a swing in the aisle that ran between the east and west stalls. What fun it was to swing there. The hayloft entrance was at the north end of the aisle, a ladder leading straight up to the left. We used to play up in the loft, jumping around in the hay and having lots of fun." Ira Barnhouse had been in the Civil War, having participated in Sherman's March to the Sea, but returned in poor health with dysentery for the rest of his life. He died 4 Apr 1914 and is buried in Akron Cemetery. Margaret didn't remember her grandpa Ira but she had vague memories of her grandma Mary. When Margaret started school (kindergarten) in 1917 the old grade school building, built in the late 1890s, was undergoing remodeling and expansion so she attended classes in the old Akron School north of the Methodist Church and later in an upstairs room in the high school. Finally, in 1919 the project was completed and the new school was opened where she completed her elementary schooling graduating from 8th grade in 1925. She entered Washington County High School at Akron (just built in 1916) in late 1925 graduating in 1930 in the largest class in the history of the Washington County School System, 41 seniors. Commencement was held Friday, May 23, 1930. In high school she and her best friend, Helen McCabe, were known as the "Ukulele Girls" for their ukulele duo and flapper styles, the naughty rage of the 20s. She entered Colorado State Teachers College in Greeley, Colo. in the fall quarter of the 1931-1932 school term. With the school year beginning in the fall of 1933, Margaret began teaching in rural Washington County, Colorado at the South Buena Vista School, Dist. 58. In the fall of 1934 she began teaching at Pleasant Hill school, Dist. 42, "often called the Johnson school" at that time. It was located east of the Buttes, and the Harry Johnson home was just a half mile east of the schoolhouse. "There was an old pump organ in the school, and I really loved playing it," she said in her writeup "My Years of Teaching" for the Washington County History pub 1989. "We had singing every morning." She taught at this school for three years. She wrote of the dust bowl years: "It was in the latter part of 1934, and 1935 that the dust storms were the worst. The most terrible of these storms came one afternoon (I don't remember the date.) We could see a huge black cloud rolling in from the northwest. When it came roaring over us, the schoolroom became dark and the smell of dust was heavy in the air. The parents came and got their children. I took the McDonald girls to their home which was on my way to town. I could not see the road, and all the way to town I kept squarely in the middle between the fence posts, which I could just barely see on each side. I did make it into town all right, but will always remember this frightening experience." On 21 Jun 1936, Margaret and Clifford Coyne Cooley, son of Robert Berton Cooley and Carrie Louella Miller, were married at the Presbyterian manse in Akron by Reverend G. Grey Dashen. The newlyweds, accompanied by the groom's parents, left after the ceremony for a honeymoon trip to Niagara Falls. They returned 6 Jul 1936 to begin residence in the Rena Lewis Apartments at Main St. and 5th Ave in Akron. She began her third and final year in the Pleasant Hill, Dist. 42, in the fall of 1936. In her words, "As a contrast to the previous year, there were several heavy snow storms in the school year 1936-1937. Many times snow drifts blocked sections of the road, and I had to take to the fields and pastures, opening gates and, in one instance, taking down the fence, and then of course, stopping again to close gates and put the fence back up. It was a joy one day late in the winter of 1937 when I saw the first fleecy white clouds in the sky and knew that spring was on the way". For the 1937-1938 school year she transferred to Center School, Dist. 21, north of Platner. She taught there for just one term. In the 1938-1939 school term she taught at Pleasant, Dist. 15, south of Platner. After just one year Pleasant School, to May of 1939, she began a six-year hiatus from teaching due to the duties of motherhood and demands of World War II. Coyne and Margaret's first child, a son, Daniel Berton, was born 25 October 1939 in the Anderson home in west Akron at present 581 Fremont St. (refurbished and still standing in 2007). They were still residing in the Lewis Apartments when Daniel was born but shortly after his birth they acquired (with help from R.B. Cooley) the property known as Lot Three in Block Three of the First Addition of Akron, Colorado, from J. B. Fisher. They built a Cape Cod-style house on the lot costing them just $2000. Coyne and Margaret's second child, a daughter, Catherine Lou, was born 14 Nov 1943, also in the Anderson Home. With end of World War II she resumed teaching in September 1945 at Star School, Dist. 11, for the 1945-1946 school term. for the 1946-47 school she taught at Platner, Dist 16 (8 mi E of Akron). Her salary was $116.67 per month. The next year on Sept 1, 1947 Margaret renewed her Teacher's Contract with the Dist. 16 Board of Directors to teach for the period beginning 1 Sep 1947 and ending 180 days later. Her salary was $150 per month. The school term 1947-1948, still at Platner, would be final one in Margaret's teaching career. Coyne and Margaret's third child, a daughter, Jo Ellen, was born on 13 Nov 1953. Margaret was an accomplished musician (piano, ukuele, vocal). She was a "Ukuele Girl" in her younger years. After her years of teaching in rural schools, she gave piano lessons in the 50s through the 80s. She accompanied on the piano numerous students in their instrument solo endeavors (including her son, Danny, who played, among other pieces, "Willow Echoes", on the baritone horn). While not playing the piano in any scheduled manner, she was often called upon to play for funerals and other church functions. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church Choir, faithfully singing every Sunday morning. Margaret had a life-long enthusiasm for books and writing. She served as librarian at the Akron Public Library from 1970 until her death in 1987. She fervently believed that the community should become more involved with books and their local library so she wrote the weekly newspaper column "From Off the Shelves" for the local newspaper, The Akron News Reporter. In 1976 she applied for and received a grant from the State of Colorado to engage in a Bicentennial-Centennial Oral History Project. The project's goal was to preserve valuable history that would otherwise be lost to the next generation. Various Washington County residents were interviewed and the interviewees life, work, remembrances, anecdotes and personal feelings about his/her years lived especially in Washington County were recorded onto cassette tape. Margaret died Sunday, Jan. 18, 1987, at Washington County Hospital aged 74, and is interred at the Akron Cemetery | Sears, Margaret May (I3)

Merton Beth Cooley was born to Herbert Merton (Mert) and Elizabeth Holliday Cooley on Dec 7, 1907, in Crofton, Neb. His mother died in 1908 from complications of childbirth. His father was editor and publisher of the Crofton Journal so Beth and his elder brother, Ronald literally grew up in the newspaper business. On 14 Nov 1914, a car in which Herbert Merton was a passenger plunged off the Yankton pontoon bridge over the Missouri River drowning him and another passenger in the car. His body was never recovered. Robert Berton Cooley (a twin brother of Herbert Merton) and his wife Carrie Louella Miller had homesteaded to a farm near Flagler Colorado in 1910 and in 1912 Bert had started the Otis Independent in Otis, Colo., 59 miles north of Flagler. Upon learning of his brother's death, Bert sold the Independent and he and his wife and two sons moved back to Crofton to take over the newspaper. They immediately took in and raised Beth and his elder brother Ronald as members of the family. Beth was still just a small boy at this time but he was already working in the family business. "I could read upside down when I was about four or five, and I was hand-setting type before I went to school. To get the paper out, we were hand-setting type day and night. Us kids never knew anything else." In 1916, because of a worsening allergy condition, Bert sold the Crofton Journal and the family returned to Colorado to resume operation of the Otis Independent, this time with two more "sons" in tow. Beth attended school in Otis, graduating from Otis High School in 1927. He also proved to be a fine football player. In his younger years, Beth played trumpet in a local dance band called "The Night Hawks" and became an excellent performer. After graduation, Beth attended the University of Colorado for a short time, later moving back to Otis to help Bert with the newspaper. Beth married Viola Myfanwy Kyffin on May 25, 1929, in Otis and they had one son, Herbert Merton. His Uncle Bert continued to operate the Independent until the fall of 1928 when, in a trade, he swapped the Otis Independent for ownership in the Monte Vista Tribune, Monte Vista, Colorado. Within a few months, Bert disposed of the Tribune and the family moved to Akron, Colo., where he bought the Akron Semi-Weekly News and the Akron Reporter combining the two papers on February 28, 1929 into the Akron News-Reporter. Its first edition was published on 7 Mar 1929. Beth was an adept Linotype operator and he had a natural bent for mechanics of all kinds. Through the years he became known as one of the best repairmen on all printing machinery and was sought after by other newspapers in northeastern Colorado for repair work. On the retirement of the original owners of the Akron News-Reporter, his Uncle Bert and Aunt Lou, Beth and his cousin, Coyne Cooley, became the sole owners of the Akron News-Reporter, which they continued to operate until 1979. All in all, Beth had worked in the weekly newspaper business almost 68 years: from a four-year-old kid folding newspapers at the Crofton Journal to the sale of the Akron News-Reporter in 1979. In keeping with his interest in mechanics, he had a life-long love affair with the automobile (his favorite, Buick). Beth was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and a charter member of the Akron Rotary Club. He was honored as a Paul Harris Fellow. Merton Beth Cooley died at Sterling Regional MedCenter on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 1992 ae 84. Funeral services were held Friday, Nov. 6 at 10 a.m. from the First Presbyterian Church in Akron with Rev. Kyle Weir officiating. Interment followed in the Akron Cemetery with Yeamans & Gordon Memorial Chapel in charge of arrangements. | Cooley, Merton Beth (I26)

Morris County was created on March 15, 1739, from portions of Hunterdon County. The county was named for the Governor of the Province of New Jersey, Colonel Lewis Morris. In later years Sussex County (on June 8, 1753) and, after the revolution, Warren County (on November 20, 1824, from portions of Sussex County) were carved out of what had been the original area of Morris County under English rule. The county was the site of the winter camp of the Continental Army after the Battles of Trenton and Princeton during the winter of 1777, as well as another winter camp at Jockey Hollow during an extremely cold winter of 1779\endash 80 which occurred during the Little Ice Age. | Beach, Aaron (I1866)

In 1880 he moved with his father Charles Madison and his second wife, Celia Chambers, to Scranton, Iowa living for two years on the old John Henning farm two miles from town. In 1882 he returned to his home state where he made his home with his grandparents, Archibald Sears and Rachel Maria Carver, in Sandwich, Illinois. In May of 1886, he traveled to Nebraska to live with his father on a farm near Aurora. Four years later, in 1890, he returned to Plano to attend school. In 1896 he returned to Aurora to work on his father's farm. In the winter of 1898-1899 he attended Business College in Lincoln, Nebraska. In 1899 he began farming 80 acres of land in Nebraska which his grandmother had bought for him in 1897 for $2600. Nelson sold his Nebraska land early in 1901 for $7200 and traveled to Colorado in an emigrant car chartered by a David Titler arriving in Akron in March of that year. He worked in the harvest fields southwest of Akron for Ira M. Barnhouse. However, after a brief trip to California, he returned to his father's farm in Aurora, Nebraska in the fall of 1901. He returned to Colorado in 1903 where he resumed work with Ira M Barnhouse. In May of 1905 under the Homestead Act of 20 May 1862, Nelson E Sears obtained the South half of the SE quarter of Section 3, and the West half of the NE quarter of Section 10 both in Township 1S of Range 55W of the Sixth Principal Meridian, Washington County, Colorado containing 160 acres. On 20 Sep 1907 he was united in marriage to Ira Morgan Barnhouse's daughter, Edna Maude. Nelson proved up his homestead on 17 May 1909 and was issued Homestead Certificate No. 0585 of the Register of the Land Office at Sterling, Colorado. Later in 1909 Nelson and his wife Edna moved from their homestead into the town of Akron, Colorado where he purchased Lots 1, 2, & 3 facing Golden St. and Lots 10, 11, & 12 facing Gunnison St, Block 11, Original Town of Akron. On 22 Mar 1910 Nelson and Edna's first child, Alva Raymond Sears, was born in Akron. Their second, Margaret May Sears, was born 23 May 1912, and their third and last child, Faye Eleanor Sears, was born 8 Aug 1914. In 1916 Nelson began carrying mail on RFD (Rural Free Delivery) Route 1 out of the Akron Post Office. He carried mail for 25 years until 1941 at which time he retired from the Post Office and assumed the duties of Justice of the Peace for Washington County, Colorado, a position he retained until his death, 17 May 1948.
--------------*According to Nelson Sears' journal dated 1895. Sears is, indeed, an English name traceable back to Richard Sares, who arrived in America before 1632 but the Evans family, Evans typically a Welsh name, actually emigrated from Co. Wicklow, Ireland. | Sears, Nelson Evans (I29)

*The Red Hat Society (RHS) is an international social organization that was founded in 1998 in the United States for women age 50 and beyond, but now open to women of all ages. In the fall of 1997, Sue Ellen Cooper, an artist from Fullerton, California, bought a red hat and gave it to a friend as a birthday gift. She was inspired by the Jenny Joseph poem, "Warning", that was popularized by a Reader's Digest article written by Liz Carpenter in which a poem begins: "When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple, with a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me...". Cooper repeated the gift to several other friends who eventually bought purple outfits and held a tea party on April 25, 1998, at which the Red Hat Society began. Cooper facilitated the growth of the organization and now serves as "Exalted Queen Mother" of the organization. She has written two books about the society: The Red Hat Society: Friendship and Fun After Fifty (2004) and The Red Hat Society's Laugh Lines: Stories of Inspiration and Hattitude (2005). With Chapters online and offline across the globe, membership in the Red Hat Society offers powerful interpersonal connections and emotional support systems for women from all walks of life. | Cooley, Luanne Mildred (I88)

Robert Carver's first appearance in the New World was in New Plymouth Colony* on 3 Sep 1638 (18 years after the Mayflower), when at a Court of Assistants held at New Plymouth "Robert Carver is graunted 20 acres of land lying on the norwest side Greenes Harbor River and a garden place upon Stoney River" (in Duxbury)." He was made a freeman of the colony 7 Jun 1648. He left no will but soon after the death of his son John (the only child of whom there is any record) Robert made an agreement with John's widow, Millicent, whereby he was to live with her the remainder of his life. In return, she and her children were to have his entire estate until her eldest son, William, attained his majority at which time William was to acquire half of Robert's estate. Upon the death of Millicent, William was to acquire the other half of the estate.
*In September 1620, during the reign of King James I, approximately 100 English men and women, many of them members of the English Separatist Church, set sail for the New World aboard the Mayflower, a three-masted merchant ship. The ship landed two months later on the shores of Cape Cod, in present-day Massachusetts, and in late December anchored at Plymouth Rock, where they would form the first permanent settlement of Europeans in New England [but not in the New World]. Though more than half the original settlers died during that grueling first winter, the survivors were able to secure peace treaties with neighboring Native American tribes and build a largely self-sufficient economy within five years. - http://www.history.com/topics/plymouth
Marshfield is an early Pilgrim town, originally part of the "New Colony of New Plimoth in New England," which was established in 1620. It was first established as a separate settlement in 1632 by Edward Winslow, third signatory to the Mayflower Compact, who became a governor of New Plymouth Colony. He became a negotiator and diplomat for the Colony in its dealings with the Native Americans and with the British. Edward Winslow established the first church and the first school in the town, near the cemetery which today still bears the Winslow name.
On 02 Jun 1685 Plymouth County was created as one of three original counties in New Plymouth Colony. (Ply. Laws, ch. 6/p. 19) | Carver, Robert (I1635)
