 Hmerican Women in Europe*
Mrs. George Cornwalls-West, better known as Lady Randolph Churchill, occupies
a unique position in English society. She was one of the first American women to marry
a distinguished titled Englishman and to come to London and attain a high social posi-
tion, having married Lord Randolph in 1874 one year before Miss Jane Frost, of St. Louis,
became the wife of Sir Lewis Molesworth.
Consequently, anything Mrs. West has to say about "American women in Europe"
is of much interest, and carries authority. In a recent contribution to the Pall Mall Ga-
zette, Feb. 22, 1903, she says:
"The steady progress of American women in theminds of Europeans can be gauged
by studying their present position in Europe. It is not to be denied that they are having
many of the 'seats of the mighty,' and the most carping, jealous critics cannot find fault
with the ways in which they fill them.
"In the political, literary and diplomatic worlds they more than hold their own.
They are a great success in the Old World." (London, Feb. .22, 1903.)
The raison d'etre of this status of the American woman abroad will be easily ac-
counted for by a careful perusal of this volume, wherein it is shown that many thousands
of American women bear in their veins the best blood of the most noble and royal lines
of Europe. Their fitness for the "seats of the mighty," in which they have been installed,
is a racial inheritance, and that they fill them worthily is not surprising.

— [Alex. Brown.]

"Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long," is the only com-
mandment given with promise. It is therefore our religious as well as filial duty to rescue
the memory of our ancestors from oblivion, and gather together and put in durable form
their family and historic records, before they are obliterated by the fast effacing finger of
Time.
This book of Ancestry, with portraits and coats-of-arms, intended to preserve our
family records for our children to the most remote generation, is no new departure; such a
volume was prepared many years ago. "Lodge's Portraits," of which Sir Walter Scott
said:
"It is impossible for me a work which ought to be more interesting than
to conceive
that which exhibits before our eyes, our fathers as they lived, accompanied by such memo-
rials of their lives and characters as enables us to compare their persons and counte-
nances with their sentiments and actions."
This is what I have endeavored to do. As far as possible, I have given pictures of
our ancestors, some of whom lived almost two centuries ago; and, appreciating the great
interest attaching to their portraits, coupled with the narratives of their lives, I have
added, as far as possible, the pictures of their descendants, which one hundred years
hence will give to their children's children the same pleasure that is now afforded us; the
perusal of the "persons and countenances" of their ancestors.
The "memorials of their lives and characters," I have endeavored to present in
the form of direct, authenticated pedigrees, which may be proven, making a book of refer-
ence far exceeding in historic value and interest the modest little volume which had been
contemplated in the beginning of this work.
Henry S. King, of London, England, prefaces his "History of the Norman People
and their Existing Descendants in the British Dominions and the U. S. of America," with
these words, "In the preparation of this work, common sense, history, chronology, armorial
bearings, public and private documents, and the earliest authenticated family records,
pertaining to the ancestors of these families have been examined, and an alphabetical list
compiled." can not do better than make this preface my own.

It would be impossible to gather in a single volume records of the gentle birth

of all the leading emigrants. In the course of this work of four years, there have been ex-
amined and compared many hundreds of volumes, and as many letters have been written in
order to authenticate the numerous records herein given. From this, it will be seen that it
is a serious task, not a mere pastime, nor the pursuit of the fashionable fad of the moment.

It is the employment of the student and historian for a verification of family genealogy
and traditions forms the basis of history. Biographies are the life of history. Great men
are the chief elements of a nation's power. These little biographical sketches of our fore-
fathers can not, therefore, be considered in any sense a book of "society." It is simply an

 encyclopedia of authenticated pedigrees of people of to-day, whose ancestors, by their
gentle birth and noble deeds, entitle them to a place in its pages. A hundred years hence,
they will have passed away, and their children and grandchildren will thank them for
having preserved in durable form, these records of their gentle birth.
No
greater advocate of the importance of genealogical research can be found than
Josephus, who of his own personal history boasts:
"I have traced my pedigree as I have found it upon the public tablets."
This is what
have endeavored to do for each individual herein represented. No
I

book of genealogy can be made without some errors creeping in, for the early records
were so imperfectly kept, and in Virginia, the "Genesis of the United States," so many
valuable public and private documents have been destroyed by fire, and during the Civil
War, that family traditions and family bibles have often been, of necessity, accepted by
the best genealogists, who have of course taken into consideration the credibility of the
person offering such testimony. As such they have passed into history, and of those
which I have accepted and collected, after painstaking care and investigation, in which
genealogists of renown, Stannard, Brock, Grinnan, Teetor, Abbott, Hall, Dandridge and
others have been employed, in this country, and in Europe, I can say that they are herein
presented, "as I have found them on the public tablets."
Membership in the "Craft Guild's" has been taken by some un-
p. J. . informed persons as a certain indication of plebeian blood. Such
is not the case. On the contrary, an education in these crafts
was an absolute requirement of eligibility to office, and is to-day
in Germany, where the Emperor himself learned the art of bookbinding. Kev. Horace
Hayden, who is authority upon all genealogical subjects, in his preface to his valuable
work, "Virginia Genealogies," explains this matter clearly, giving the following informa-
tion on the subject:
There were in all seventy of these guilds, twelve of which were considered the
superior guilds, one of them the "Marchauntailo," a great educational guild, which ranked
high as a feeding school for the colleges. It was first licensed temp Edward I. Henry
VI gave it a charter under the name of "Masters and Wardens of the Fraternity of St.
John the Baptist of London." Henry VII was a member of this guild and changed the
name to "Merchant Taylors," and many of the sons of the most notable Virginia colonists
were sent back to London to attend this school.
James I was a member Prince Henry Stuart, his
of the "Clothworkers Guild."
eldest son, belonged to the "Merchant Taylors," and the Earl of Southampton was one
of its apprentices. Sir Geoffrey Boleyn, father of Queen Anne Boleyn, was apprenticed
to the "Mercers' Guild," and after a service of seven years was elected an Alderman,
then Sheriff. Later he was elected Lord Mayor, then knighted. From this it will be
seen that when we read of the early colonists, that one was a farrier (blacksmith, or
horseshoer), another a weaver, or a printer, or a merchant or a clothier, it signified only
that they had duly been educated to a trade in order to meet the important require-
ments of office holding, and they were therefore ready to turn their education to account
in the NewWorld, where good tradesmen were of paramount importance. It is rather
a proof of gentle birth than otherwise.
By this is meant the inheritance of the blood of gentlewomen
and gentlemen. The term "gentleman" originally comprehended
wlPll;. a |j a b ove ti^ ran k of yeomanry, whereby even noblemen were
properly called "gentlemen." Woodward says: "A gentleman
is not merely a nobleman, but something more. The sovereign may ennoble a man, but
descent alone can make him a gentleman." Of course, this must be taken in the heraldric,
I not the conventional sense. There are many of the old families of Great Britain who
are far more proud of their long lines of descent, as plain "gentry," than they would be
of any recently conferred grant of nobility.

manned and sent out ships with
colonists, in charge of their younger sons, or relatives, to
represent their

interests.
Some of them came over in person, briDging with them the laborers and the bricks
with which to build the fine old colonial residences about which cluster so many pictur-
esque traditions, and they named them usually for the family seats at
home.
To these were added from time to time others, refugees from
political or religious persecutions. The Civil Wars divided En-

men, the Puritans, the gentle Quakers, the rugged Covenanters and Seceders, and
the noble

ment to plant their families in the wilderness of a strange country, where they might wor-
ship God according to the dictates of their own hearts.
The Puritans and the Huguenots, faced death from religious persecution about the

Leyden full of French refugees from the same cause. When, therefore, the Mayflower,
in 1624, sailed from Plymouth with one hundred passengers (see Appendix),
the English

refugees found on board with them a few of the French exiles, who had
unobtrusively

joined their ranks. Among them Priscilla Mullins, who passed into history
with John
Alden, her name originally Molines changed into Mullins, in the English spelling as
were
the names of the majority of our fathers in those phonetic days.
"The Pilgrim Fathers" became the "Fathers of New England," and many of that
company brought to this land in their veins the blood of nobles, and in their descendants
may be found many of the most illustrious men of our country. In the Speedwell, and the
Fortune, which soon followed the Mayflower, came with the Puritans, more French Protest-
ant exiles, and wherever they chose their abiding place the Huguenot blood blossomed
into genius, and their names, often corrupted, are found among the most
distinguished

sons of New
England.
Later, William Penn, of noble birth, came with his colony of "Friends," and settled
Pennsylvania (named for him), and soon Delaware and New Jersey became harbors of
safety for this persecuted sect, many of them of gentle birth.
From Scotland and Ireland came for conscience sake a noble race of men and
women, with the blood of princes and of peers in their veins, and bearing on their bodies

They settled chiefly in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia, and their descendants may
be found enrolled with honor in every war of their adopted country, as well as in legisla-

tive councils.

such of them as escaped slaughter, or burning in their homes, fled into

lapse of a
decade or more, despairing of ever being able to return to their native
land, they turned
their eyes westward to the new country, where other religious refugees
had found homes,
and, about 1700, there was a concerted Huguenot emigration to
America, this time to Vir-
ginia, where the king, appreciating the value of this great
acquisition, gave to them a
large grant of land on the James Kiver, where they settled the

But the states which welcomed them reaped rich reward from their presence, and
the sweet influence of their pure lives, exalted character, industry,

England, they soon gained
the same social status which had been theirs at home, and ere

 The Palatines of the Northern provinces were shortlived. The provincial charter of
Maryland was never revoked. The Palatine Principality established in Carolina 1663, lasted
sixty-five years, during which the "Proprietors" were absolute lords of land and water.
Under these charters, many noblemen of high degree were encouraged to establish
small principalities in the colonies. (See Appendix.)
Almost two centuries of colonial rule produced six or more gen-

transmitted their blood inherited not only from titled noble-
—
men, but from warriors, statesmen, and martyrs as well, to their children, the patriots of
1776; strong, as were their forefathers, heroes of many centuries gone by, to do and to
suffer.
Four centuries have now elapsed since began the commingling of the best blood of
representatives of all of the most powerful nations of that day, and the results produced,
are well worth the attention of students of heredity. Some one has said the germ of man
is like the seed of the thistle, blown from its sterile home, thousands of miles, to fall into

rich loam, where it will come up a thistle as all its fathers were. It may be warped by
strong winds, or increased in size and beauty by rich nourishment, but it will bear the un-
mistakable characteristics of its ancestors, quick to wound if handled too roughly. The
blood of a man is as strong to plant its likeness from generation to generation, as the sap
that colors the rose from year to year with unfailing fidelity in all climates, and in all
lands. If this is true, then it must be the blood of our forefathers, the Crusaders; the
Conquerers of England, and of the men who fought with Wallace, and with Bruce; of the
Cavaliers and Roundheads, of the Covenanters and the Huguenots, that made possible the
struggle for Independence, and crowned it with victory. The achievements of our Ameri-
can heroes then, and throughout the Eighteenth Century make many brilliant pages in the
history of the world. Contrast with it the history, the fiction, the drama, which portrays
the reign of Henry VIII and Louis XIV; of that corrupt epoch from which our country
sprung, and oDe must needs be convinced that the emigrant nobles brought not only
noble blood in their veins, but the best of it.
In fields of diplomacy our parliamentarians and statesmen have commanded the at-
tention, and won the admiration and respect of the foremost men of every land, repre-
sented in their commingled blood. Within the space of a little over one century of eman-
cipation, the United States have placed themselves in the front rank of the nations of the
earth, through the heroism and genius of their sons, who may in nearly every instance
trace back through many centuries, perhaps, —to the fountain head of noble blood, which
inspired their noble deeds, showing that the law of heredity in man is as immutable as that
of the animal and vegetable worlds. Yet, there are some who affect to despise what they
call "pride of birth."
It has only been within the last decade, that attention has been
called to the large number of Americans, who can claim descent

* from kings. A few years ago, Charles H. Browning, member of

the Historical Asso ciation and of the Genealogical Society of
Pennsylvania, startled society by producing a large volume styled, "Americans of Royal
Descent, a Collection of Genealogies of American families whose lineages are traced to the
legitimate issue of kings, reproduced from recognized authorities, etc." This volume in
its third edition, 1894, contained two hundred and forty-seven "Pedigrees," each of which

represented hundreds of unnamed persons of the same lineage. There were some mistakes,
of course, as in many genealogies embracing American records, since no law of primo-
geniture in this country compelled the colonists to keep a clear pedigree, and they and
their descendants have many of them been negligent. But where clear records can be
shown, connecting the people of to-day with their emigrant ancestors, there can be no mis-
takes. Heralds find no difficulty in tracing the ancestry of the leading emigrants, from
—
the mother country to its source, which may lie in a hundred kings. In the Appendix
(vi)
and elsewhere in the book may be found several charts of royal lineage compiled from
and compared with the best recognized authorities, among them Betham's "Genealogical
Sovereigns of the World. Boutelle's "Heraldry," Anderson's "Royal Genealogies," Dug-
dale's "Baronage of England," and the highest authority of all, "L'Arte de Verifier les
Dates." Through these charts, hundreds of Americans can trace their own "rnval
lineage."
Is the handmaid of Genealogy,and was esteemed by Ruskin an
Hei*aldlty essential to the study of the gentle arts. It is of the utmost im-
portance in establishing ancestral lines, and verifying family
traditions. The coats of arms used by our forefathers as seals upon their public and pri-
vate papers, and willed to their children, along with other valued possessions are unerring
guideposts in connecting the pedigrees of the colonists with their ancestry in the Old
World. They are found carved upon the gravestones in the old churchyards, and mutely
proclaim the kinship of the mouldering bones beneath to those who rest under the same
devices in Westminster Abbey, or in the churchyards of their native land. They realized
their value and that 1he insignia —"Achievements" they called them—of noble services ren-
dered by their ancestors to their king, or country or church, were something to be proud
of, and safe-guarded along with other valued possessions willed to their children.

Washington, the "Father of his Country;" Taylor, the progenitor of two Presi-
dents; Jefferson, and Adams, and many other patriots, prized highly these insignia of their
gentle birth. Washington's coat of arms was a shield of stripes of red and silver, the
bar across the top, set with red stars; an eagle for the crest. From this coat of arms
was drawn the American flag and shield, and the eagle serves for the seal of the United
States.

only five minutes' walk from the Tower, going to or returning from the grim fortress,
where so many gentle folk, in days gone by, lost their liberty or their lives. On one
of the ancient monuments in this ancient church (one hundred and fifty years old) may
be seen the Washington arms quartered with that of Col. William Legge, who died
1680, having married Elizabeth Washington. They are also found on another monument
in the same church, that of the first Lord Dartmouth. Here is shown two broad red
stripes on a yellow ground, surmounted by two red stars. One of the walls of the
church formed a portion of the Chapter House of a celebrated abbey built in the XV
century, called the Sorores Minories, or Little Sisters. After the disolution of the mon-
asteries the Abbey House was presented by Henry VIII to the Earl of Suffolk, father
of Lady Jane Grey. Several times the little church has been doomed to destruction, but
has been spared. It is often visited by Americans eager to trace for themselves the
origin of the stars and stripes which distinguish our flag. It is said that the Sons of
the American Revolution will probably interest their societies in its future preservation.
In this country there is no Herald's College to confirm to us the arms bequeathed
ns by our fathers, or the quartering adopted by them in colonial days as families intermar-
ried, but they are none the less valuable as illustrations of family history, and connecting
links with the ancestors who dwelt in the mother country. They may also prove an in-
spiration as suggested by Henry Seaton Merriman:
"When our forefathers looked around for some striking design of bird, or beast, or
fish to work upon their silken pennant, and casually asked a learned monk for a few words
in Latin or French to write beneath it, I wonder if they foresaw the responsibility they
were assuming? 1 wonder if they dreampt that in years to come when their bones were
mouldering beneath the moss grown stones of the little country churchyard (for mark you
those fellows rarely died in cities), I say I wonder if the dream ever came to them that
the bearers of their names long after would look up to the motto upon the church wall and
try to shape their lives according to Those words were a battle cry to them and they

are a battle cry now. Our ancestors have much to do with our lives, much more than we
think; a word or a name reaches into posterity. "Noblesse oblige."

 The earliest Greek records were genealogical histories of individuals, and in the
Greek Testament the whole structure of Christianity is laid upon the pedigree of the Great
Master, the Messiah; hence we find in the Bible, the oldest book of pedigree in the world,
that a positive obligation was laid upon the Israelites to keep well their family records.
Here too we find authority for the first coat of arms, for the escutcheon of each family was
inscribed upon a standard beside each tent, and when the command was given, "To your
tents, Oh Israel," there was no confusion, no hesitation, a banner marked the abiding
place of each tribe, and of each family.
Abbott defines coats of arms, as "hereditary marks of honor con-
GontS of Jlnms sisting of certain fixed colors, conferred by sovereign princes at
first, and generally, as a reward for military achievements, but

subsequently also in recognition of some signal public service, not necessarily of a mili-
tary nature. These marks serve to denote the descent and alliance of the bearer. These
grants of arms were sometimes made upon the field for some specially brave deed and
usually the device was chosen with reference to the valorous act for which it was con-
ferred."
This custom dates back certainly beyond the crusades, for the brave warriors who
followed the Emperor Conrad in the conquest of the French Provinces had their devices
to which augmentations were granted in 1033. Coats of arms were in use, and granted
during the crusades, for historic mention is made of the fact that some of the grand old
warriors quartered their arms with the Cross of the Knights of St. John. They were in
use, and also granted by the Norman King William at the battle of Hastings. Their an-
tiquity unchallenged, and they served not only the purpose originally intended, viz:
is

distinguishing, but they became also marks of distinction, "Achievements."

Are not of such ancient origin as the banners, coats and shields,
CPCStS They are also called "cognizance," because by them the wearers
were readily distinguished in battle. They were worn as orna-
ments upon the top of the helmet, and perhaps added to the protective power. They are
known to have been in use in English heraldry about the Fourteenth Century. Alexander
the Great is said to have adopted a lion for his crest, and Julius Caesar adopted a star to
denote his supposed descent from Venus. Richard I was the first English monarch who
wore a crest. He used the lion, which has since continued to be the crest of English
sovereigns.
Are more ancient than coat armor, owing their origin to the "Cris
IDottOCS ^ c guerre," as when each tenant under a feudal lord brought his
vassals into the field, they had their own war cry. Mottoes de-
spite their antiquity, are not hereditary, but are varied or relinquished at pleasure. The
earliest motto recorded, is that of the Garter, "Honi soit qui mal y pense," founded by Ed-
ward III.

that they came from the practice of knights at tournaments hav-
ing their shields supported by retainers disguised as lions, tigers, etc. Whatever their
origin,once assumed, they descended from father to son in succession. An absolute right
being given to continue such supporters, and no one of the descendants of such families
ought ever to alienate them, especially if they have been assumed prior to the time of the

Realm, Knights of the Garter, and Bath, and to those who have obtained them by Royal
Grant. In Scotland the right is conceded to the Chiefs of Clans. The Nova Scotia
Baronets obtained them with the patents of creation. In Ireland they are borne by the

series of generations, the use of supporters.
Mantling is a matter of taste, but must conform to the two main colors of the shield.
It may be dispensed with.
Cadencies, or differences, are made in the arms used by various members of a fam-
ily, brothers or different branches of the same family, by the introduction of certain marks
by which they can be distinguished, called "Marks of Cadency."
Concerning the use of arms by females, Abbott says: "The daughter of each house
should always bear the family distinction borne by her father, with differences, which may
be made in the tinctures." This custom gave rise to the quartering of arms upon the hus-
band's armour and marshalling of arms upon the shield until it became a compendium of
family genealogy.
As arms became and their use no longer confined to the battlefield, but
hereditary,
was largely extended to seals and ornaments, females naturally were granted by heralds
the right to use them. In America where there is no law of primogeniture, and these em-
blems are only preserved as a certain proof of genealogical succession and a distinguishing
mark of certain families, who by descent would be entitled to use them in the land of their
fathers, it would be absurd to question the right of women to their use upon their note
paper, china, silver, or upon their carriages. And since they can be used only as an illus-
tration of family history it would be equally absurd to deny the right to the use of arms
of the maternal side, —
for certainly the insignia brought into the family by a mother from
her father, is the insignia of her children's grandfather, if one wishes to insist upon pater-
nal qualifications.

[NOTE. — All of the records herein published

have been furnished by the families
interested; in most cases from data prepared for them by recognized genealogists, Ab-
bott, Brock, Brown, Dandridge, Grinnan, Hall, Hayden, Leigh, Stannard, Teetor and
others. Family records, with references to recognized authorities, have been accepted
and carefully authenticated. In this part of the work I am indebted to those invaluable
registers, "The Virginia Historical Magazine," "William and Mary Quarterly," "New
England Register," "Hayden's Virginia Genealogies," "Cabell's and Their Kin," Brown's
"Genesis of the United States," "Billon's Annals of St. Louis," "The Douglas Parish
Register," "Meade's Old Churches," "Old Settler," "Virginia Carolorum," "Baird's Hugue-
not Emigration," Charles P. Keith's "Ancestry of President Harrison," and many others
noted elsewhere in the book.
Concerning the spelling of proper names, many of them changed in colonial days
by an early tendency to phonetic spelling, I have given them as I have found them in the
records, varying sometimes in the spelling adopted by different branches of the same
family. In French names, the spelling is often suggested by the pronunciation, the
prefixes, de, du, la, and dela having become incorporated, capitals are use instead of
le,

the small letters; "Lord de la Warr" has in this way become Lord Delaware; and so on.
For Heraldry I am indebted to Burke, Anderson, Doyle, Betham, Browning, L'Arte
de Verifier les Dates, America Heraldica and others.
Many county and court and parish records have been received, properly attested,
and used in the compilation of this work.

ditional notes of family records found elsewhere. Errata, page 405.]

De L'lsle.
This one of the most ancient of the "Old French Families" of St. Louis; one of the
is
few families that has taken good care to keep an authentic and unbroken pedigree. Their
well preserved genealogical chart written on parchment shows a line of descent, un-
broken, from 1400, and also gives the history of the bestowal of the coat of arms. They
have also the actual seal used by the family for the past century positively, how much
longer with them is a matter of conjecture.

sitions; some of them counsellors of the king, others officers of the French Army; both
before and after the Revolution. The name in full is De L'Isle du Fief.

MONUMENT TO ALFRED THE GREAT, AT WANTAGE
 :

Appendix*
Alfred the Great.

Alfred, alone of all the English Kings, is called "The Great," and of him it has been
worthily said that he was a man against whom, though he lived in that fierce light that
beats upon a throne, there is no evil charge, and who might appropriately be termed "The
Good" as well as "The Great."
No one man has done so much to make Englishmen what they are, as King Alfred.
To him is due the fact that the Anglo-Saxon type so largely survives, for when it seemed
that they would pass, as. did the Celts and Romans before them, and that the heathen
Danes might take their place, it was to Alfred's courage then, and his wise and patient
work later, we owe the salvation of the Anglo-Saxon stock, which was the making of the
typical Englishman of to-day; the Englishman from whom so largely sprung our American
people. He spent his life laying broad and deep the foundations of the British Empire.
He united the petty kingdoms of Kent and Essex, and Wessex, and Norfolk, and Suffolk,
the Middle, and East and West Angles, t he Saxons, the Mercians, Wales, and together
they resisted the yearly incursions of the Danes, and in one battle he repulsed them after
nine years continuous defeat. He built up the walls, the gates, and bridges of London,
making it a walled city of defense. He created the navy, building larger and swifter
ships than those of the Danes; a fleet of one hundred sails, with which he defeated them
on their own element, the sea.
He was not the creator of the English law (the foundation of our American laws),
but he remodeled it, beginning his code with, "Thus Sayeth the Lord, 'I am the Lord thy
God.' " This was the key note; the laws of the people must conform to the laws of God
as recited in the Mosaic law and the Acts of the Apostles, closing finally with the in-
junction of St. Matthew, "Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, that do ye
even so unto them."
Alfred was born at Wantage, one of the royal residences of the Kings of Wessex,
849. He died, only fifty-three years old, Oct. 28, 901, worn out by the hardships and
privations and mental strain of his brave, arduous career, and was buried at New Minster,
founded by him at Winchester. His son Edward succeeded, and nobly carried on his
father's great work. Edward's daughter Elfrida, married Count Baldwin, of Flanders,
and became the mother of Matilda, wife of William the Conqueror.
"There is no portrait of him; the outer man has perished, but in deeds, there stands
revealed the most perfect character of our annals. From every critical ordeal Alfred
—
emerges resplendent, in renown still Alfred the Great."
In 1901, a statue was erected to his memory in the market place at Wantage,
celebrating the one thousandth anniversary of his death.

Genealogy of JHfoed the Great

The royal House of Wessex claim descent
from the heathen god, Wodin. His de-
scendants of to-day can point with greater
pride to descent from Adam, whom we are
told, was the Son of God. Asser gives his
genealogy from "the beginning of all
things." Students of genealogy agree that
the line may be correct as far back as Cer-
drick. —
It runs thus sixteen generations
Adam; Noah; Geat; Wodin, (the greatest
of all the heathen gods); Cerdick; Cresda;
Cynric; Ceawlm; Cuthwin; Cudan; Crot-
wold; Coenred; Ingeld; Eopa; Elmund;
Egbert, King of Wessex, 802-839; Ethel-
wulf ; ''Alfred the Great."—Elswith.

 Colonial Establishment.

It would be impossible a book of this nature to give more than a bare outline of
in
the establishment of the colonies in America, and only partial lists of the personages
who took active part in this great historic drama; sufficient, however, to show the ori-
gin of the "gentle blood"' inherited by many thousands of our American citizens, of both
high and low degree, from their noble sires. To many of them humble stations have
been allotted by fickle fortune, but it is a significant fact, that among the more favored,
such as have found their way back to the old world, have been received with the greatest
honor. It is interesting to note how many of our daughters are seated in the most
ancient halls of the mother country, honored wives of the leaders of the national councils
of Great Britain.
The Spaniards were the first to establish colonies in America with the idea of
founding a new Roman Empire in the west, and thereby restore the Roman Catholic Em-
pire in Europe. Protestantism was first planted in America 1516 by Jean Ribault, who
undertook the foundation of the first Huguenot colony at Port Royal, S. C. In 1564
a second colony of Huguenots was sent out under Capt. Rene de Londonniere, who
settled on the St. John's river, Florida, where they were massacred by the Spaniards. In
1565, those who escaped the massacre found their way to Wales, taking with them
samples of the products and giving such glowing descriptions of the country that many
private expeditions were set on foot by rich English adventurers, hoping to secure for
themselves some interest in this wonderful land. The House of Lords and the House of
Commons became interested. The Government was represented by the king, the royal
family and many great officials; the church by her most eminent theologians; the
trades by the city companies of London and by some of the greatest merchants of
England; the army, the navy and the learned professions by an assemblage of peculiarly
illustrious names. England had the earliest support of the New Netherlands and the
eyes of all Europe were looking upon their efforts "to spread the Gospel among the
heathen people of the New World, to plant an English nation there."
It was under the management of some of the greatest men in English history.
They selected one of the strongest positions on the Atlantic coast. They took fast hold
there and they prayed "unto the merciful and tender God, who is both easie and glad
to be entreated that it would please him to bless and water their feeble beginnings,
and that as he is wonderful in all his works, so to enrich this grain of seed that it may
spread until all of the people of the earth admire the greatness and seek the shade and
fruit thereof." And it pleased God to answer their prayer. All of the people of the
earth seek the shade and admire the fruits of the little seed planted a little over four
centuries ago. (See Genesis of United States.)
Queen Elizabeth first granted letters patent to Sir Humphrey Gilbert 1578, for the
inhabiting and planting of an English colony in America. It was 1583 before he finally set
sail from Plymouth with a fleet of five ships. He was lost on the return voyage. In
1584 letters patent were granted to his half-brother, Sir Walter Raleigh, who, with
Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlow, sailed from England and reached North Carolina in
July of the same year. They returned with glowing accounts of the country, which was
named for England's Virgin Queen, Virginia, To Sir Walter Raleigh was given a charter
to establish for the Crown, the Governor to be appointed by the Crown, and this ter-
ritory was finally extended so as to embrace the whole- Atlantic coast.
Sir Walter Raleigh's fleet of seven vessels made their second voyage to America
April 9th, 1585, commanded by Sir Richard Greville, and among the officers were
Thomas Cavendish, Mr. John Arundel, Mr. Raymond, Mr. Stukely, Mr. Bremige, Mr. Vin-
cent, Simon Ferdinando, Mr. Atkinson, Mr. Russell, Edward Gorges, Francis Brook,
Capt. John Clark and others. Capt. Ralph Lane, Philip Amidas, John White, Thomas
Hariot, Edward Stafford and about one hundred and three others who were by agree-
ment to remain in the colony one year at least. They landed on the present coast of
North Carolina.
In the same year, in response to the declaration of war upon England by the King
of Spain, Sir Philip Sidney and Sir Francis Drake started forth on their mission of
warfare. After the siege of Carthagenia, returning to England, they took St. Augustine,
Florida, en route, then visited the English settlement at Roanoke, where they spent a
month before "setting sail for England." Many of these officers returned later to the col-
onies with patents for land; their names may be found in the records of the land offices
and their descendants are numerous throughout the United States. Following is a list of
officers:

Ipatroons

Under the Dutch government, and the directors of the West India Co., a great
many Hollanders settled in what are now known as Kinderhook, Ghent, Stuyvesant, Stock-
port, and Claversack, the latter being the seat of the VAN RENSSELAERS, "Patroons" of
the lower manor which consisted of 170,000 acres of land. Kilraen, the first emigrant
came from Nieukirk, Gelderland, 1637, to New Amsterdam. The early records of the
Dutch Reformed Church, show that the well known county names of to-day are found on
the lists of the early settlers. They founded the "Manor Van Rensselaerwyck." THE
LIVINGSTONE Manor contained 160,000 acres, the patent being granted in 1685, to Robert
Livingstone, of Scotch descent, for Rev. John Livingstone, born 1603, exiled on account of
his religious convictions. He went to Holland, the birthplace of the American emigrant,
the first Lord of the Livingstone Manor. In the year 1710, Queen Anne purchased for him
6,000 acres for the settlement of the German Palatinates, who had served in the British
army, and formed the original settlement of Germantown. The Livingstones are descend-
ants of the Earls of Linlithgow and Colendar.
Stephen Van Cortlandt came over from the Netherlands in 1697, and obtained the
grant of the Manor of Cortlandt in New York.
Yrederijck Felypsen, came over from the Netherlands 1693, and became one of the
"Manor Lords," of New York. They are now known as the Philipses of Philipsboro.
Philip Pietersen Schuyler emigrated in 1650, and became one of the largest land-
owners by patent of the Albany District.
Bcvenvyck Isaac Kype, a descendant of Ruloff de Kype, a Norman lord, obtained in
1657, a large grant of land in the New York colony. It was erected as a manor by
patent dated 1688, for his descendants, Jacob, and Hendricks, under the name of Kyps-
burg.
Johannes de Peytser, came over from Haarlem, Netherlands, to New Amsterdam
1652, and was one of the six citizens who drew up the first charter.
William Beekman, originally from Cologne, came over from Hassalt, Overyssel, to
New Amsterdam, 1647.
Peter Stuyvesant, Governor of the New Netherlands, 1647, was the son of a Fries-
land clergyman.
Jan Jansen Bleecker, came to New Amsterdam from the province of Overyssel, Neth-
erlands, 1658.
Cornelius Berents Van Wyck, came from his native village of Wyck near Teck,
Holland, to the New Netherlands, 1660.
Charles Martensen Van Roosevelt, came from the Protestant Netherlands to New
Amsterdam, 1651, and from him is descended our President of the United States.
Jan and Jacobus Van Strycker obtained, in 1643, from the Staats General of the
Netherlands a grant of a large body of land, and came to New Amsterdam 1651-2.
Jacob Jacobson Schermerhooren, Joris Van Alst, the Van Sietorts, the Van Norts,
the Schencks, the Van Voorhees, and many others, Holland Dutch of noble descent, all
bearing arms, make up the old Knickerbocker Aristocracy, which began with the "Pa-
troons," or "Lords of the Manor," in the first third of the Seventeenth Century.

Zbe palatines
"The Lords Proprietor" were those English noblemen who received from their sov-
ereign princely grants of lands, with regal rights, the king only retaining a feudal tenure
over them. Such grants were given in Newfoundland, Maine, Long Island, Maryland,
Pennsylvania and Carolina. The northern provinces were shortlived, the provincial char-
ter of Maryland was never revoked; the Palatine Principality established in Carolina in
1663 lasted sixty-five years, during which time the Proprietors were absolute lords of land
and water within their boundaries. Could declare war, levy taxes, establish courts of
justice, and otherwise exercise kingly rights, such as the Counts Palatine, who played an
important part in the history of medieval Europe.
In 1634, Charles I granted to Sir Edmund Plowden and eight other petitioners the
whole of Long Island and forty miles of the adjoining continent including the present
states of Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, to be known as the County
Palatine of New Albion. In 1639, a Palatine principality was estabished in Maine by Sir
Ferdinand Georges, which lasted under his son ten years. In 1610 George Calvert, Lord
Baltimore, received a royal grant for the Province of Newfoundland, which he called the
Province of Avalon, and built him a magnificent home, and established a colony on the
eastern coast. On account of the climate he abandoned it. Returning to England in
1632, he received the magnificent grant of the Province of Maryland which contained "the
most ample rights and privileges ever granted by any sovereign." He died before the
charter was delivered, but his son Cecil Calvert, carried out his father's plans. In 1629
Charles I granted to Sir George Heath, a charter to the Carolinas. In 1633 King Charles
II granted to Edward Earl of Clarendon, George Duke of Albemarle, William Earl of
•Craven, John Lord of Berkley, Anthony, Lord Ashley (Earl of Shaftesbury), Sir John Car
teret, Sir John Colleton, and Sir William Berkley, all of the country between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, between parallels 31 and 36, called Carolina, in honor of Charles,
embracing North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi and finally Vir-
ginia. Portions of this patent were sold to Sir John Tyrrell, Henry Duke of Beaufort,
William Lord Craven, James Bertie Doddington, Greville, Sir John Colleton, Archibald
Hutchinson, John Collora, Joseph Blake, and John, Lord Cartoret. Sir Wm. Berkley, was
at that time Governor of Virginia, and the charter was issued to him and his associates.
In 1665, Sir John Yeamans established an important colony in old Clarenden Co.
Carolina, which did not flourish under the rule of the Lordsi Proprietor; their rights were
therefore purchased by the crown in 1728, and they became colonies of the English
Crown, and the Palatinate of the Lords Proprietors was abolished.
There were three orders of nobility created in the Carolinas by the Lords Propri-
etor, the charter granted by the crown authorizing such an establishment. 1st, the
Palatines, already named; second, the Landgraves, John Locke, Sir James Cartaret, Sir
John Yeamans, first governor of Carolina, 1671. Sir Edmund Andros, Col. Joseph West,
Thos. Colleton, Esq., Joseph Moreton, Esq., Daniel Axtell, Sir Richard Kyrle, James
Colleton, John Price, Thomas Smith, Esq., Col. Robert Daniel, John Archdale, Joseph
Blake, Thomas Amy, Edmund Bellinger, John Bagley, Esq., John Wyche, Sir Nathaniel
Johnson, Christopher, Baron de Graffenriedt, Maj. Edward Jacques, Abel Kentely, Esq., Mr.
William Hodgson, and Charles Eden. The third order of the nobility was the Caciques, of
which there were twelve: Capt. Henry Wilkinson, Mr. John Smith, Maj. Thomas Rowe,
Mr. Thomas Amy, John Gibbs, John Ashby, John Monk, Esq., Sir Nathaniel Johnson. Dr.
Christopher Dominick, Thomas Smith, Esq., Philip Ludwell, Esq., and William Hodgson.
In 1623, a quo warranto was issued whereby all of the charters were annulled and
Virginia ceased to be a Proprietary and beca me a Royal Government under the king, to be
dealt with as he saw fit.
Iu 1632, Charles I granted to Cecilias Calvert, Baron of Baltimore, the lands which
once formed a part of the Virginia charter. Will am Clayborne, an influential and promi-
;

nent colonist, had already settled the Isle of Wight, over which there was much conten-
tion, but Clayborne was upheld by the king and appointed Councilor and Secretary of
State for Virginia, and so continued.

Zbe Ibuguenot Emiovation

When King William sailed from Holland with an army of eleven thousand warriors,
bent on reclaiming his kingdom and crown of England, two thousand and fifty of this
small body of patriots were the Huguenot exiles of France, who contributed by their valor-
ous conduct to the success of his enterprise. Wishing to reward them for their assistance
at this critical time, he made them a grant of 10,000 acres of land in Henrico County,
Virginia, now known as Powhatan, which land was then occupied by the Monican Indians,
a warlike tribe, which had withstood the power of Powhatan, but soon disappeared before
the invasion of the whites. The Huguenots arrived in 1700, nearly all of them of noble,
and some of royal descent, and settled upon the south side of the James river, about 18
miles from Richmond. The little French settlement was called "The Manniken Town,"
and vestiges of it remain until the present day. The records show the following entry:
"At a general assembly begun and held at his Majesty's Royal College of William and
Mary, the 6th day of December, in the seventeenth year of his reign, an act, making the
said Manniken Town, a Parish by itself distinct from other Parishes, to be known and
called "King William Parish." In 1707, was built the first English Episcopal Church of
this new parish. (See Proem. Huguenots.)

LORDS PROPRIETORS OF VIRGINIA.

In 1649, Charles II granted to Ralph, Lord peper, and a little later in the names of
Hopton, Henry, Earl of St. Albans, John, Marguerite, Lady Culpeper, and Thomas,
Lord Culpeper, and others, among whom Lord Fairfax, who had married Lady Kath-

Mr. Thomas H. Fox, in his diary found in Virg. Hist. Mag.,

POX. April, 1897, No. 4, is mistaken in regard to the name of the an-
cestor of the Fox family of Virginia. As shown on the list of
Cavaliers, who came to Virginia, 1649, (p. 400), it was Major Richard Fox (not John) who
came over with Colonel Norwood, 1649. While preserving Mr. Fox's diary, (see p. 288),
the name has been changed from John to Richard, in conformity to a record found also
in the Colonial Entry Book. As this tradition is found in the family of John Fox, of
Gloucester, he must have been the son of Major Richard. The Colonial Entry is as
follows:
"Major Richard Fox, Major Francis Madison and Colonel Henry Norwood, officers in
the Royal Army, during the Civil War, refugees in Holland, determined, in 1649, to come
to Virginia. On September 13, they embarked on the Virginia Merchant, and arrived in
the Colony in November. After various adventures on the eastern shore, the three Cava-
liers crossed the Bay, and at Captain Ralph Wormley's house found several of their Cava-
lier friends, and were most hospitably entertained. They then visited Governor Berkley,
who showed signal kindness to Major Fox."
—
The John Fox, referred to in the diary, must have been the son of Richard the same
John Fox referred to as having received lands in Gloucester, 1685, (p. 288), father of
Henry Fox who married Anne West.

This name of Moyse Vermiel, one of the Huguenot refugees (see
VcPITlicL page 95) is variously spelled. The original was probably Viom-
enisle, of the same old French family from which was issued
Baron Viomenisle, the French officer, who commanded the old regiment D'Auvergne, at
Yorktown, which that night won the right to be called "D'Auvergne Sans Tache," and
carried the redoubt to the right of the enemy's line.

family, from which has come many gifted men, lawyers, teachers, preachers and writers,
among them, Dr. Weir Mitchell, the distinguished author, and David Starr Jordan. Miss
Modeste Jordan the well known writer is also of this line. The Jordans (Jourdans) are
of noble lineage. "Lady Jourdan," married a Fitz Gerald.

From papers recently discovered it is found that Dr. John Wood-

CUoodsOfl. son, did not come with Sir John Harvey, but "came to America
with his wife, Sarah, 1619, in Ship George, as Surgeon." He
was living with his wife Sarah, and six negroes, 1623, at Fleurdin Hundred, Surgeon to
this Colony. In 1644, he was called from his home and massacred by the Indians in sight
of his door. His wife and a shoemaker, Ligan, held the home against the Indians, as re-
corded p. 342. The old gun then used is still in the possession of Prince Edward Co.
Woodsons.

Since going to press, it has been ascertained from old wills, and
Fielding. records, that Hannah Fielding (p. 95) was issued from Ambrose
Fielding, "Gent." of King and Queen Co., Va.
The will of Richard Fielding, of Northumberland Co., Va., dated July 6, 1666, mentions
brother Robert, of Gloucester, Sister Elizabeth (F.) Gwyn, of Horton in Gloucester,
 ADDENDA. 405

Brother Ambrose Fielding, in case Ship Phoenix arrives, his plantation at Great Wiecom-
icco, Northumberland Co. To brother Edward Fielding all his part of Ship Phoenix, with
all of his tobacco and stocks of goods, on board, and all the rest of his estate in Va. and
elsewhere.
Henry Fielding, of King and Queen Co., Va., "Gent," will dated 26 October, 1704, leaves
to his daughter Frances, all of the residue of his property both in Virginia and England.
She married John Lewis, son of Colonel John Lewis, and Elizabeth Warner. In case of
her death before marriage the estate to be divided between his mother, Madame Frances
Fielding. She to be executor, with a Mr. Francis Thompson, England, executor (cousin),
and others. She to share estate with John and Mary Howell his step children; in case
of death, to go to his cousin Francis Thompson, in England. Since the Lewises, Addisons,
Howells and Thompsons inter-married it is likely that his mother was a Thompson.

Jean Baptiste Chauvin, an officer of the French army, came to

Cbauvln. Fort Chartres with the French troops stationed there. His
daughter, born 1742, in San Phillipe, the little French village
near the fort, married Mons. Beaulieu, a Frenchman, with large landed possessions. The
family moved later to Cahokia, where she was the director general in moral and medical
matters. She was possessed of a strong and active mind; was educated in Quebec, and
was a pattern of nobility and virtue; lived a long and useful life and died in Cahokia 1826.

beth Ramey, of the same family as William Ramey, now residing near Cahokia. One
of their daughters, Louise Palmier Ramey, married Frederick Myers, of German descent,
and had two daughters, Bessie, who married Walter R. Dray, of Scotch ancestry, and
has one son, Walter S. Dray. They are residents of Chicago.
Walter S. Dray, died 1894; was a lineal descendant of Capt. Stoddard, who received
