4 Early legendary kings of Denmark.
# Note:
# Note: The kings of Denmark, like the Saxon, Norwegian, and Swedish rulers, all claim descent from Odin. Odin's real name, according to the old stories, was Sigge Fridulfson, but he called himself Odin so that people would worship him.
# Note:
# Note:

Odin is said to have come from Asgard, the legendary home of the gods. (Interestingly, the twelth-century Danish historian Saxo identifies Asgard with Byzantium.) Traveling north from Asgard in the first century AD, Odin allegedly founded the
Kingdom of the Svear in Uppsala sometime before the Christian era.

# Note:

King Odin, we are told, had five sons. They reigned over various parts of Scandinavia, and at least two of them ruled in Denmark. (One must remember that Denmark at that time included Skane. Although this region has belonged to Sweden in modern
times, it was Danish from legendary through medieval times.) We shall not endeavor to mention all the legendary kings of Denmark, but rather highlight some of the more famous and interesting heroes of the sagas.

# Note:

The Danish kings, like those of Norway and Sweden, did not always follow a direct line of succession from father to son. But they were required to be of noble blood, and they were elected by a gathering of nobles known as the "Thing". [Royal
Families of Medieval Scandinavia, Flanders, and Kiev]

# Note:

There was a sea-king called Solve, a son of Hogne of Njardo, who at that time plundered in the Baltic, but had his dominion in Jutland. He came with his forces to Sweden, just as King Eystein was at a feast in a district called Lofond. Solve came unexpectedly in the night on Eystein, surrounded the house in which the king was, and burned him and all his court. Then Solve went to Sigtun, and desired that the Swedes should receive him, and give him the title of king; but they collected an army, and tried to defend the country against him, on which there was a great battle, that lasted, according to report, eleven days. There King Solve was victorious, and was afterwards king of the Swedish dominions for a long time, until at last the Swedes betrayed him, and he was killed. Thjodolf tells of it thus: --

"For a long time none could tell
How Eystein died -- but now I know
That at Lofond the hero fell;
The branch of Odin was laid low,
Was burnt by Solve's Jutland men.
The raging tree-devourer fire
Rushed on the monarch in its ire;
First fell the castle timbers, then
The roof-beams -- Eystein's funeral pyre.[Ayres.FBC.FTW]

23. OF ALRIC AND ERIC.

# Note: The sons of Agne were called Alric and Eric, and were kings togetherafter him. They were powerful men, great warriors, and expert at allfeats of arms. It was their custom to ride and break in horses both to walk and to gallop, which nobody understood sowell as they; and they vied with each other who could ride best, andkeep the best horses. It happened one day that both the brothers rodeout together alone, and at a distance from their followers, with theirbest horses, and rode on to a field; but never came back. The peopleat last went out to look after them, and they were both found deadwith their heads crushed. As they had no weapons, except it might betheir horses' bridles, people believed that they had killed each otherwith these. So says Thjodolf: --

"Alric fell, by Eric slain,
Eric's life-blood dyed the plain,
Brother fell by brother's hand;
And they tell it in the land,
That they worked the wicked deed
With the sharp bits that guide the steed.
Shall it be said of Frey's brave sons,
The kingly race, the noble ones,
That they have fought in deadly battle
With the head-gear of their cattle?"

7 Killed by brother King Alf and Alf was killed in same fight.
Yngvi was a successful warrior and his brother Alf sat at home and was unfriendly. Alf's wife. Queen Bera was beautiful and happy. She told Alf that Yngve was really a better catch for a woman and this made him angry. As Yngve and Bera sat by thethrone in Uppsala one night after returning from a raid, Alf ran a sword through Yngvi and Yngve did the same to Alf and both died. They were buried at Fyresvollene. Alf had a son Hugleik. Son of Alrek; joint king with his brother Alf. He and his bro. killed each other in the royal hall by the high-seat. [History of Sweden, p. 36]

# Note: 24. OF YNGVE AND ALF.

Alric's sons, Yngve and Ali, then succeeded to the kingly power inSweden. Yngve was a great warrior, always victorious; handsome,expert in all exercises, strong and very sharp in battle, generous and full of mirth; so that he was both renowned and beloved. Alf was a silent, harsh, unfriendly man, and sat at home in the land, and never went out on war expeditions. His mother was called Dageid, a daughter of King Dag the Great, from whom the Dagling family is descended. King Alf had a wife named Bera, who was the most agreeable of women, very brisk and gay. One autumn Yngve, Alric's son,had arrived at Upsal from a viking cruise by which he was become very celebrated. He often sat long in the evening at the drinking-table; but Alf went willingly to bed very early. Queen Bera sat often till late in the evening, and she and Yngve conversed together for their amusement; but Alf soon told her that she should not sit up so late in the evening, but should go first to bed, so as not to waken him. She replied, that happy would be the woman who had Yngve instead of Alf for her husband; and as she often repeated the same, he became very angry. One evening Alf went into the hall, where Yngve and Bera sat on the high seat speaking to each other. Yngve had a short sword upon his knees, and the guests were so drunk that they did not observe the king coming in. King Alf went straight to the high seat, drew a sword from under his cloak, and pierced his brother Yngve through and through. Yngve leaped up, drew his short sword, and gave Alf his death-wound; so that both fell dead on the floor. Alf and Yngve were buried under mounds in Fyrisvold.Thus tells Thjodolf of it:

"I tell you of a horrid thing,
A deed of dreadful note I sing --
How by false Bera, wicked queen,
The murderous brother-hands were seen
Each raised against a brother's life;
How wretched Alf with bloody knife
Gored Yngve's heart, and Yngve's blade
Alf on the bloody threshold laid.
Can men resist Fate's iron laws?
They slew each other without cause."

8 : Another Yngling king in Sweden was Ingjald Illrade. From his saga, we learn something about how kings were chosen. When a king died, his successor was supposed to attend the funeral feast and there sit at the foot of the throne. A huge horn beaker was brought in. The heir had to pledge to do some mighty deed of valor, and then drain the beaker to the bottom. After this ceremony, he was led to the throne and proclaimed king.

When Ingjald planned the funeral of his father Anund the Cultivator, he invited all the petty king and jarls (earls) of the neighboring areas to attend the feast. There he stood up, made a vow to increase his kingdom by the half on every side, and drained the beaker. He then allowed his guests to drink until they became intoxicated. At this point, he left the hall, surrounded it with his men, set it on fire, and thus killed all his potential rivals. The people hated him for his treachery, and named him Ingjald Illrade, or ill-ruler.

King Ingjald is said to have been the last king of the Yngling dynasty to rule in Sweden. According to the sagas, he died about 600 AD, by setting fire to his palace on Lake Malaren and thus destroying both himself and his daughter. It was a fitting end for a man who had murdered his vassals by that very method.

# Note: In Swede, Ingjald Illrade was succeeded by Ivar Vidfamne (Wide Reacher). Ivar started a new dynasty, called Ivarska after himself.

# Note: The line of the ill-ruling Ingjald, however, did not die out. His son Olof Tretelgia (Olaf Tree-Hewer) escaped to Norway, where he became the progenitor of the Norwegian Yngling kings.

9 Battled 9 times with father's ex-slave, Tunni, and finally killed Tunni with help of others. Died by being gored by a bull that first gored his horse

Not much of a warrior -- a bad thing for a Viking. Had to have help from the Danish King Frode to subdue a revolt of one of his subjects. [WBH - Sweden]

FOSTER, MINOR, BURR, WAITE, NEWLIN LINES

!Soon after the 6th century opened the Swedes of Uppland were ruled by an aged but formidable monarch, the anglicized from of whoe name was Ongentheow. In Old Norse this should be represented by a form like Angantyr. The Ynglinga Saga calls this king, Egill. The Swedes and Geats were natural enemies, and Hethcyn, king of the Geats, in answer to the onslaughts and ambuses of Ongentheow's sons, led a raid into Swedish territory and carried off Ongentheow's aged wife. The the Swede, 'old and terrible', gave pursuit, killed Hethcyn, and rescued the lady, though stripped of her ornaments of gold. The Geat survivors escaped to an unidentified Ravenswood, where he surrounded and through the night taunted them with a propsect of the gallows in the morning. But before first light they heard the warhorns of Hygelac, prince of Geats, as he came hastening along their bloody track with the chivalry of the Geats. Hygelac's warriors overran the Swedish entrenchments. Egill was killed in the battle. Egill was succeeded by his younger brother, Onela/Ali. [A History of the Vikings, pp. 33-37]

King Egil was the son of Ane, and like his father, no warrior. Under his reign and that of his son, King Ottar, Sweden suffered a good deal of trouble from Denmark. The Danish King Frode had helped Egil against the revolt of one of his subjects, and demanded from his son a scat, or tribute, in return. [History of Sweden, p. 37]

# Note: 30. OF EGIL AND TUNNE.

Egil was the name of On the Old's son, who succeeded as king in Sweden after his father's death. He was no warrior, but sat quietly at home. Tunne was the name of a slave who had been the counsellor and treasurer of On the Old; and when On died Tunne took much treasure and buried it in the earth. Now when Egil became king he put Tunne among the other slaves, which he took very ill and ran away with others ofthe slaves. They dug up the treasures which Tunne had concealed, and he gave them to his men, and was made their chief. Afterwards many malefactors flocked to him; and they lay out in the woods, but sometimes fell upon the domains,pillaging and killing the people. When King Egil heard this he went out with his forces to pursue them; but one night when he had taken up his night quarters, Tunne came there with his men, fell on the king's men unexpectedly, and killed many of them. As soon as King Egil perceived the tumult, he prepared for defence, and set up his banner; but many people deserted him, because Tunne and his men attacked them so boldly, and King Egil saw that nothing was left but to fly. Tunne pursued the fugitives into the forest, and then returned to the inhabited land,ravaging and plundering without resistance. All the goods that fell into Tunne's hands he gave to his people, and thus became popular andstrong in men. King Egil assemble dúan army again, and hastened to give battle to Tunne. But Tunne was again victorious, and King Egil fled with the loss of many people. Egil and Tunne had eight battles with each other, and Tunne always gained the victory. Then King Egil fled out of the country, and went to Sealand in Denmark, to Frode the Bold, and promised him a scatt from the Swedes to obtain help. Frode gave him an army, and also his champions, with which force King Egil repaired to Sweden. When Tunne heard this he came out to meet him;and there was a great battle, in which Tunne fell, and King Egil recovered his kingdom, and the Danes returned home. King Egil sent King Frode great and good presents every year, but he paid no scatt to the Danes; but notwithstanding, the friendship between Egil and Frode continued without interruption. After Tunne's fall, Egil ruled the kingdom for three years. It happened in Sweden that an old bull, which was destined for sacrifice, was fed so high that he became dangerous to people; and when they were going to lay hold of him he escaped into the woods, became furious, and was long in the forest committing great damage to the country. King Egil was a great hunter, and often rode into the forest to chase wild animals. Once he rode out with his men to hunt in the forest. The king had traced an animal a long while, and followed it in the forest,separated from all his men. He observed at last that it was the bull,and rode up to it to kill it. The bull turned round suddenly, and the king struck him with his spear; but it tore itself out of the wound.The bull now struck his horn in the side of the horse, so that he instantly fell flat on the earth with the king. The king sprang up,and was drawing his sword, when the bull struck his horns right into the king's breast. The king's men then came up and killed the bull.The king lived but a short time, and was buried in a mound at Upsal.Thjodolf sings of it thus:

"The fair-haired son of Odin's race,
Who fled before fierce Tunne's face,
Has perished by the demon-beast
Who roams the forests of the East.
The hero's breast met the full brunt
Of the wild bull's shaggy front;
The hero's heart's asunder torn
By the fell Jotun's spear-like horn."  		Egil Aunsson

11 The British origins of Richard Bowen have been highly contested over the years, but TAG article The Ancestry, Wives, and Children of Richard Bowen of Weymouth and Rehoboth, Massachusetts by Richard LeBaron Bowen, Jr. (2001), settles most of the arguments, namely:

1. Richard could not have been the son of James Bowen & Ellen (some say wrongly Eleanor) Griffith for two reasons: the son named "Richard" associated with James was clearly labeled "mort" (deceased); two, James' will (proved 1626)also makes no mention of Richard who was still alive at the time of James' death.

2. The supposed coat of arms associated with Richard Bowen did not come into documented existence until 4-5 generations later on the gravestone of descendant Jabez Brown (in the 1800s). NO gravestone of Richard Bowen survives (if there even ever was one), much less a coat of arms on it. There are no known gravestones of Richard Bowen, his children or his grandchildren.

3. Many say Richard Bowen was brother or uncle to Griffith Bowen of Boston, both being sons of James or Owen. No documentation supports this.

4. Others propose he was the son of Thomas Bowen of Kettle Hill, including:
"a. Colonial Families of America, 1951, pages 153-156 has the lineage of Richard Bowen as the son of Thomas [d. 1587, and wife Jane Williams, dau of Harry Williams of Brynoch] being the [parents] of Richard. [This same source claims lineage of Richard and Thomas back to Gwraldeg, King of Brecknockshire in the first century, citing the following sources: "As shown in genealogical records compiled by Alfred R. Justice, giving the following references: History of Brecknockshire--Jones. Welsh manuscript of Llewelyn Offeiriad. Manuscript of Jesus College, Oxford; also: Morganiae et Glamorganiae, pp. 193, 204, 225, 515-- George T. Clark.] "b. Americans of Royal Descent, Charles H. Browning, 6th ed., Phil., Pa., 1905, pages 462-463 has Richard Bowen as the son of Thomas Bowen. "c. A chart from one of the Visitation books showing the connection of Thomas to Richard."
5. No marriage record is found for Richard Bowen; no record exists for the first or last (maiden) name of his first wife. No record exists concerning when he left England or on which ship. No baptisms of his first three children (likely born in Wales) have been found.

Add to Sources: Burke's Landed Gentry, pages 57-58.

[edit]

? Life in New England

The first known record of Richard Bowen in New England is described in the History of Weymouth: It describes the "earliest land record of Richard1 Bowen," dated 1642: "Tenn acres Eyght of them upland two of swampe lying in the plaine first given to Thomas White bounded on the East with the land of Martin Phillipes, of Ralph (Allin) on the west, of his owne on the south, a highway on the north."

Almost immediately after, though, he was one of the 50 or so people who left Weymouth to settle Seaconk. Not initially attached to either Massachusetts Bay Colony or Plymouth, it became attached to the latter and was named Rehoboth. He was regularly recorded in Rehoboth town records:

1643: Chosen, among others, as first board of Rehoboth Selectmen on Dec. 9.

1645: Made freeman on 4 June; On Dec 20 or 29, layed out the neck of land called Wanamoyat. It is estimated that his first wife died about this time.

1646: Appointed with several others to get fences in Rehoboth on March 16.

1647: Elected townsman (selectman) on 26 May [R.L. Bowen, 1:28, 3:121 and 142].

1648: In November, he married in either Hingham or Weymouth Elizabeth Rey, widow of George Marsh who d. Hingham, 2 Jul 1647.

1651: Elected to serve Rehoboth as deputy to Plymouth Colony's general court.

1653: On May 13, "Richard Bowen & James Ridwaye" were chosen "for overseers of the wayes," and a list of "the Subscriptions of the Inhabitants" of Rehoboth empowering Richard Bowen, Stephen Paine, Thomas Cooper and William Sabin to represent them in settling the status of Rehoboth lands lying within the bounds of the new Sowams purchase was drawn up on 28 June 1653 [R.L. Bowen, 1:18 and 126].

1654: In the spring it was found necessary to appoint William Carpenter, Richard Bowen and John Allen as arbitrators in a dispute between Richard Titus and Nicholas Ide over a parcel of salt meadow [R.L. Bowen, 2:138].

1671: recorded as having been assessed 3/7 in taxes, a figure somewhat below the median

1672: 28 May: recorded as having sold his one-half share in the 1666 North Purchase distribution to Thomas Ormsbee [R.L. Bowen, 1:39 and 41].

1675: Second wife of Richard Bowen buried in Rehoboth (Rehoboth VR, volume I, #53, p. 800)

His twelve acre home lot was adjacent to the "Ring of Green" of Rehoboth, which was a common pasture for the town, as well as the location of the first meeting house. This area faces Pleasant Avenue and is just south of Newman Avenue in present East Providence, Rhode Island.

Leonard Bliss, in his History of Rehoboth [45], stated that Richard Bowen served as town clerk. Richard LeBaron Bowen, Jr. pointed out in a letter of 16 May 1994 that the records [1:108] of the Rehoboth town meetings make it clear that it was Richard Bullock who was chosen town clerk on 14 Seventh Month 1654.

14 Both Francis and Lee had previous marriages. Francis first married Caroline Easterling and had 10 Children. She must have died between 1870 and the 1880 census). Lee Ann had two children from her first marriage to Mr. Sikes. Her actual maiden name is Harris.
There was almost 30 years between Francis and Lee (referred to this way in 1900 census). She was only six years older than Francis' son Francis. This caused some real consternation for me.
I haven't found a marriage license for their marriage.
In speculation, it seems Caroline had died not long before Francis and Lee got together. She was alone with two small daughters. It may have begun as a marriage (if actually married) of convenience, both having need for the other, but Francis and Lee had seven children together - something must have worked well for them.

One more tidbit of speculation: Their tombstone states he was born in 1925, but in the 1910 census he stated he was born in 1928, making him 29 or 30 years older than her (depending on her birthday). The 1900 census corroborates this, stating he is abt 29 years older than she.
Her name is spelled Lean on the tombstone, but I believe that is incorrect as well. She is referred to as Lee. This could have been short for Lee Ann.

17 Thomas Burgess arrived with his wife in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1630, at the age of 27, and remained for a time in the adjoining community of Lynn, about ten miles northeast of Boston. (They are believed to have arrived on the ship 'The Blessing of the Bay'.) A section of land was assigned to him, 3 July 1637, in Duxbury, 30 miles south of Boston; but in the same year there appeared on the map, 64 miles south of Boston, the township of Sandwich, in the colony of Plymouth, to which he moved the following year, making his permanent abode in that section of the township which has come to be known as Sagamore... He was one of the original eleven male members of the first Congregational Church in Sandwich and was known among his contemporaries as "Goodman Burgess."

20 c.1008?1060, king of France (1031?60), son and successor of King Robert II. To defend his throne against his mother, his brothers Robert and Eudes, and subsequently against the count of Blois, he secured, at the cost of territorial concessions, the aid of Robert I, duke of Normandy, and of Geoffrey Martel, count of Anjou. After the submission of his brother Robert, Henry unwisely invested him with the duchy of Burgundy, setting up a powerful rival to the French kingdom. He found the chief enemy of his later reign in Robert of Normandy?s son William, later William I of England, who successfully resisted two invasions by Henry. Henry was succeeded by his son Philip

21 The Clayton Family of Clayton-le-Moors
The Clayton family dates from the time when Robert de Clayton came to England with William the Conqueror and was granted lands known as Clayton-le-Moors for his important military services during the invasion of 1066. Clayton Hall dates back to the12th century and the present-day park is situated on what remains of the vast estate of the De Clayton family. It is reputed that the Royalist army were stationed at Clayton Hall before its attack on Manchester and Oliver Cromwell is said to have stayed there. Clayton Hall is said to boast three ghosts. The Claytons continued to own Clayton Hall until one Adam de Grimshaw married Cicely Clayton and made Clayton his home. It is thought that he took on the surname of Clayton, while the remainder of the Grimshaw family remained in their native Crowtree near Blackburn.
Through marriage the Grimshaws acquired the lordship of Clayton, which eventually became the residence of the Byron family. Later, during Tudor times, the family had rebuilt Clayton Hall as a moated manor house, which remained in the Byron family until it was sold to Sir Humphrey Chetham in 1620 - he died there in 1653.
The Manor of Adlington in Lancashire was purchased by Thomas Clayton sometime around 1688. In addition to the Manor of Adlington, Thomas Clayton bought the adjoining manor of Worthington from Edward Worthington. Thereafter the properties of Adlington and Worthington were passed by descent to members of the Clayton family, most notable among whom were Richard Clayton who became Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in Ireland from 1765 until his death in 1770, and another Richard Clayton who studied law and served as Recorder of Wigan from 1815 to 1828 and was Constable of Lancaster Castle and British Consul at Nantes. The latter Richard was created a Baronet in 1774 and died at Nantes in 1828. Robert Clayton, brother to Baron Richard Clayton, succeeded to the Baronetcy and estates.
In the 19th century, upon the death of Richard Clayton Browne-Clayton in 1886, the Adlington Hall Estate was sold. The estates and lands. comprising 129 acres was eventually bought by Wigan Corporation in 1921 for the princely sum of £4000.  		Robert Clayton
 
22 DANIEL appears in the records of Plymouth Colony about 1633 with his brothers, Job and John. Daniel was named freeman 1645 and held several political offices in Yarmouth and Eastham MA. In 1661 he was licensed to retail "wine and strong waters." Daniel married at Plymouth Colony RUTH (unknown). Ruth's maiden name is controversial and some researchers are of the opinion that she was Ruth Collier, a daughter of William Collier; this has not been conclusively proven to be correct. Other researchers are of the opinion that her maiden name was Ruth Chester but with no evidence that this is correct. Ruth was born about 1627; died 15 Dec 1694. Daniel was born about 1614; died at Eastham MA 21 Dec 1694, one week after his wife died. The estate of Ruth was administered 15 Jan 1695. Both are buried at Eastham Cove Burial Ground, Eastham MA.
There is speculation that Daniel, his brothers, Job, and John were also brothers to James Cole. I believe this to be true because their offspring seemed to know each other. Daniel's grandson,Zacheus, married Mary Cole, who came from the line of James. James is known to have run a pub. Daniel received his liquor license in 1666. The two families come together again in Washington County, VA from the mid to late 18th century under the care or Rev. Thomas Woolsey.
I believe Israel I, II, III were cousins to Hugh I, II, III. I've yet to prove it, but it seems very probable, given the circumstances.
 		Daniel Cole
 
23 Came to America 1632-3 with father James

"Apr 8,1634 it was agreed with James Cole that his son Hugh shall keep the cowes from Apr 15 to November and shall have for his pay fifty bushels of corn. He shall bring them up every morning to be milked and then carry back to feed and bring them home at night.

On the 1643 Plymouth list of men able to bear arms.[5]

On 6 Jun 1655, the grand jury presented "Hugh Cole, and Mary Foxwell, his now wife, in keeping company each other in an undecent manner, at an unseasonable time and place, before marriage." Hugh was fined 20s.[6]

He was made surveyor of highways at Barnstable and granted 100 acres of land at Acushauett. In 1667 with others he purchased of King Phillip 500 acres of land on the west bank of what was named for him, Coles River. He was a shipwright and civil engineer, and may of the tracts of land of Swansea were surveyed by him. He was a selectman of Swansea for many years, and was representative and deputy to the general court in the years, 1773,74,75,80,83,84,85,86, and 89.

He was for years the friend of King Phillip ( the Indian chief). Havng been requested by the Plymouth colony council to visit King Phillip and report the conditions made the following. "Swansea. Apr 1, 1671. Most honorable sirs; - yours I received this day whereby I perceive you desire to know what posture the Indians are in. I do not find them to continue in a posture of war as they have been. I went to mount hope last second day on purpose to see their proceedings and was in many of their houses, but saw nothing as intending to war. But asking them of their reason of continuing together at Mt. Hope, they answered, it was to see Phillip's child buried, and I have seen some return but the greater part of them are together. And they gave as the reason because the wind does so blow against them that they cannot go home with their canoes - not else. Rest assured I am yours to command what I am able.

"Oct 27, 1669" Hugh Cole Hugh Cole was granted fifty acres of land lying between Manneonest Point and salt marsh with all the appurtenances thereunto belonging unto him and his heirs forever. (page 149, vol. 3 Plymouth records). He was granted by the court respecting his father's grant, he being an ancient freeman. Six score acres of land between the Mattapoiset River and the bounds of Acushassett.

In June, 1675 at the commencement of the war with King Phillip, two of Hugh Cole's sons were made prisoners by the Indians and taken to Phillip at Mount Hope. Phillip ordered them set a liberty because as he said Hugh Cole had always been his friend. He sent word to Hugh that he could no longer restrain his warriors, and for him to take his family and immediately remove to Rhode Island. This he did and one hour afterward his home was in flames. While he had been on such friendly terms with Phillip, his was the first house burned and Gershom Cole was the first person killed. After leaving his home Hugh Cole located at Portsmouth, RI. The town records of Portsmouth show that, Oct 12, 1675, Hugh Cole was granted liberty to use some of the windfalls that are down to build a small frame and to make wheels for the use of the townsmen for their money. Savage says "Hugh was a sergeant in the war against King Phillip." After the war in his election as representative he is always spoken of as sergeant.

After the close of the war , 1677, he returned to Swansea and built a house a few rods from where Miss Abby Cole now lives (in 1900). The well walled by him on the bank of the Kickemuit River is still there. This part of the land has descended by will, no deed having been made for it; it has never passed out of possession of the Cole family and is now owned by Miss Abby Cole. Part of the land owned by him in Swansea is now a part of Warren. RI. He died in Swansea , Jan 22 1699 and was buried in the southern extreme of Meadow Neck, now known as Howland Meadow in Barrington in what is known as the Tyler Point Cemetery. He had ten children - the first seven were born in Plymouth, the other three in Swansea.

His land was still owned by the Cole family in 1908.

He is said to have been the wealthiest man in Eastham at the time of his death, and his funeral was reported in both the New England Courant and the Boston News Letter, viz: "In return for his father's extraordinary frugality in his life and good will at his death, Israel Cole Jr., ordered themost magnificent internment for him that has been known in New England, which was peformed in the following manner: The corpse being enclosed in a beautiful coffin was decently laid in a sled, and drawn to the grave by a yoke of oxen, who not withstanding they supplied the place of potters and pall bearers, and had neither gloves, scarves nor rings for their trouble, yet 'tis not doubted but this neglect is entirely owing to the traders in these parts, who deal in such funeral ornaments as are fit only for humane beings. The heir attended the funeral without anything of mourning apparel which must be attributed to a generous scorn of the deceitful pomp and glory of hypocritical mourners, and not to any narrowness of spirit in him, whose spacious soul extends to the uttermost bounds of his land and to the very bottom of his chests." The paper concluded with this epitaph:

"Here lies Old Cole, but how or why
He lived, or how he came to die,
His son and heir may best declare it,
Who's doubly blest with his Father's spirit,
And who, when'er he comes to breath all,
His useless breath away, and leave all,
To such another son and heir
He may be thrown ... but God knows where,
Perhaps in some black chymist's dark hole,
Where out of wood he extracts charcoal."  		Israel Cole

27 He appeared frequently in Plymouth Court, sometimes for rather colorful reasons: on 2 Jan 1637/8, he was noted as drinking excessively at Mr. Hopkins; in 1652, Robert Willis spent the night at James' house drinking before he went out fishing and drowned; in Oct. 1653, he was presented for "entertaining townsmen in his house." He was also fined repeatedly for "drawing wine without a license." In 1669, he was fined 5s. for selling wine to the Indians and allowing several women to drink on Sunday. Despite the rowdiness of his establishment, he earned enough money to loan money to others in the area. In 1670, his son James took over the ordinary. The place apparently quieted down, though in early 1671, John Sprague was fined for misbehavior which included riding his horse into the parlor.

As a more respectable member of society, he served on several juries from 1637 to 1648, as constable in 1642 and 1644, and as surveyor of highways 1641, 1642, 1651 and 1652. (Source:Great Migration)

29 He raided Finnland and killed King Frosti and many others and took much booty and Frosti's daughter, Skjalf, as prisoner and married her. He was hanged by wife, Skjalf, with the help of her followers when drunk after a banquet he put on for Frosti's funeral at her request.
One summer he invaded Finland with his army. When the Finns gathered there was a great battle, in which Agne gained victory, subduing all Finland. The daughter of a conquered chief, Skialf, was carred back to Sweden as his bride. After a drinking feast, Agne was hanged in a tree by Skialf and her men. The place where this happened was called Agnefit, and is said to be identical with the site of Stockholm, the later capital of the country. [WBH - Sweden

34 Sir Ralph de Assheton, the Black Knight of Ashton, struck so much fear into the heart of English people that his death is still celebrated more than 500 years later! The Black Knight Pageant and festival held annually in Ashton-on-Lynn keeps the legend alive.

It is said Sir Ralph rode around the countryside on his black steed looking for peasants to torture and kill. One of his legendary methods was to roll them downhill in a barrel spiked with nails!

He became so feared as Vice-Constable of England that children are said to have prayed this nightly prayer: "Sweet Jesus, for thy mercy's sake And for thy bitter passion, Save us from the axe of the Tower, And from Sir Ralph of Ashton."

Was Sir Ralph as notorious as legend tells us? We will probably never know. Yet whatever the local people thought of him, he was a man of influence among the nobility and in the royal court.

Sir Ralph was most likely born sometime around 1421 to Sir John de Assheton (Ashton) and second wife Margaret Byron. He served as a "page of Honour" to King Henry VI in 1428, a right usually given to a child around 7 years old. In 1438 he contracted to marry Margaret (Margary) Byron, daughter and heir of John Byron, Lord of Middleton. The marriage occurred either that year or the next. This began the tenure of the Asshetons as Lords of the Manor at Middleton.

Under King Edward IV, Sir Ralph held the offices of Knight Marshal of England and Sheriff of York. He was knighted in 1482 for his courage at the battle of Hutton field and King Richard III rewarded him for his support with huge land grants. In 1483 he became Lieutenant of the Tower of London and Vice-Constable of England in 1483. On June 6, 1486 he was pardoned by King Henry VII for supporting King Richard III. The year and circumstances of his death are uncertain, but no mention is found of him after 1486. One legend says he was killed by a relative on the Monday after Easter.
Here is a poem I wrote about him, or at least what is said to be of him.

THE BLACK KNIGHT (My 16th great grandfather)

Birthed to privilege and stature he entered life's fair stage,
Raised royal with entourage he was Henry's favored Page.
The capture of Berwick upon Tweed brought knighthood as ought,
And later, Vice-Constable of England fulfilled his lot.

He did not lack in courage, nor forsake his men in sway,
His bravery each day, like he, were always on display.
He moved through peers, with manners dear, a gentleman demure,
But, for the Marigold, he boldly tormented the poor.

Bereft of tender mercies toward peasants in the field,
The Black knight's scorn brought torture born 'pon all that he had killed.
No tithe could acquiesce or sooth his gnashing ire,
Sprung from the Earth he claimed their birth as kindling in the fire.

The fear he spread, such awful dread, dispersed in every prayer,
When his death came no blame was sought and none, in truth, despaired.
Each Easter Monday depicts how Sir Ralph de Assheton died,
In Ashton under Lynne, the Black Lad makes his final ride.

By John Greyson (Dec. 2013)

35 Fulbert of Falaise (fl. 11th century) was the father of Herleva, mother of the illegitimate William the Conqueror, the 11th-century Duke of Normandy and King of England. The Walter of Falaise named by Orderic Vitalis is likely a son.

Fulbert has traditionally been held to be a tanner, based on translations of Orderic's additions to the Gesta Normannorum Ducum. He writes that during the siege of Alençon (1051-2), the natives had been mutilated by William after they called him a pelliciarius (pelterer), because his mother's kinsmen had been pollinctores (corpse preparers). One later poetic source interpreted the occupation to be that of tailor, but in part due to flawed transcripts of the original, many historians have concluded he was a tanner.[1] Others have favored a more literal reading, that Herleva's family had been undertakers or embalmers.[2]

Orderic also added to the Gesta that Fulbert served as the Duke's chamberlain (cubicularii ducis).[3] It has been suggested that this occurred after William's birth.[4] Perhaps linking Orderic's two additions, contemporary practice made the chamberlain one of the persons responsible for burials.[5]

41 Jonathan Dean among the first children born in the new town of Jamaica, Long Island. He owned land in Jamaica as early as 1681. A "List of the Towne Estate of Jemaica" for 1683 shows "Jonathan Deine" as owning 1 horse, 2 cows and 18 acres of land.

An early court record shows Jonathan accused of stealing a neighbor's horse. According to Jamaica Town Records, on the "5th of June Anno 1682, At a Towne court held by the constable and overseors, Daniell Denton plaintiff, Hope Carpentor and Jonathan Deine defendants, the plaintiff enters an action of the case against the defendants declareing that the plaintetives did doe him gret damage in molesting of his horse upon the commans driveing his horse into the myre and brought the horse to the Towne and put him into a barne without his order. The testimony of Samuell Mils being sworne is hee saw Hope and Jonathan drive the plaintiffs horse into the myre in the Medowse in the owld Towne Neck and there catch him and then he sawe them leade him to the mill and farther say he not. John Oldfield juneor being sworne testefyeth that he saw Jonathan Deine and Jonas Wood drive the plaintetive horse into the myre and then they catcht him and after he was catched Hope held the horse and Jonas rid him and saw them leade him to the Mill as soe from thens to the Towne and farther sayth not. Capt. John Carpentor being sworne in the case betwene Dan Denton plaintiff and Hope Carpentor and Jonathan Deine defendants sayth that he hearde Daniell say that he would give the plainitivs a dayse work though he had noe nede of him but he would give noe more but charged them to ____ or drive the horse to the plase from whense they fetched him and farther sayth not. Thomas Smith juneor being sworne in the same case testefyeth that upon Daniels request hee went to Capt. Carpentors barne to see the horse and suddenly after Jonathan Deine came in and asked Daniell what he would give for the bringing up of his horse and Daniell sayd hee would give them a dayse work and one of them sayde he should not have them for a dayse work. Whereupon Daniell bid them turne the horse to the plase from whens they had him and farther saythe not." The outcome of the case could not be determined from the records.

On January 12, 1699, Wait Smith of Jamaica conveyed a parcel of upland with timber trees to "Samuell Deane & Jonathan Deane his son," witnessed by Daniel Dean (Jonathan's brother) and others. On September 10, 1700 Jonathan received three parcels of land from his father: "(1) 20 acres of upland with housing, barn, orchards, gardens & fences, bound east on John Smith of little plains and Wait Smith; north on John Freeman and Benjamin Smith; south on Samuel Carpenter and John Smith; west by the country road; (2) a seven and one-half acre lot upon the hill, bound west by the Rocky Hollow; north by the line dividing the town of Flushing and Jamaica; east on Richard Wright; south on John Everett; (3) a 5 acre meadow lot called by the name Haw Tree Neck belonging to Samuell Deane now of Jonathan Deane (Deeds B:430). " On August 2, 1703 Daniel Whitehead of Jamaica conveyed to Jonathan "the one-third part of a 14 acre meadow lot formerly of Thomas Foster (deceased) at Hether East Neck, bound east on Richard Oldfield; west of the rest of said lot; north on upland; south with same bounds of rest of lot, for a valuable consideration from Samuel Deine Jr. and John Dein (brothers of Jonathan). "

In 1704, Jonathan was among those protesting a decision by the town to set up a mill on the Plaine Run River; in 1705 he was among those selected to report on any illegal fencing of Town commons; and in 1706 he was elected tax collector for the ensuing year at Jamaica.

In 1707 "Jonathan Dean defends self before the Friends Meeting at Flushing in regard to a charge on non-payment made by Garet Clason & Hendrick Lot of New York City. Jonathan admitted he refused to pay, but stated he had received bad goods, and that in the future his actions would be such as not to give the Friends a bad name (LDS microfilm,377, Friends Meeting at Flushing, 1670-1760)." NOTE: "Friends" refers to the Quaker Church.

On March 15, 1715 "Jonathan Dean witness(ed) with Benjamin Carpenter and Adrian Hegeman, for will of Nicholas Sneathen of Mosquito Cove, Oyster Bay, a carpenter who may have been brother of Jonathan's wife Margaret."

Jonathan died October 1, 1718. His gravesite in unknown. His last will and testament, dated September 23, 1718, is on file at the Office of the County Clerk at Jamaica, NY. It reads as follows:

44 After much research I have noticed some people dispute Jonathan "Jack" Parker Dean being related to Ebenezer or Jonathan Dean Jr. I have discovered in the 1850 Searcy Co. Census the location of J. P. Dean and family. Just below his entry is the entry of Jonathon Dean and wondered could this be Jack's grandfather. The details of Jonathon's entry is pretty strong evidence that he was indeed Jonathan Dean Jr. Jonathan was born in NY, his wife's name is Mary, born in VA, their ages are correct with the time line - it is too much info to be accidental.
Jonathan Dean Jr. was born in NY, his wife, Mary Cole, was born in VA. He was ten years older than she, as the Census reports, they lived alone, they must be the two recorded.
I suppose one could argue that Jonathan Dean Jr. and Mary Cole were there, but that fate simply put them all in the same County at that particular time of life, but that seem's implausable to me. There were a total of five Dean families recorded on the 1850 Searcy Co. Census. The odds that they were not related realistically seems extremely high. 		Jonathan Parker Dean
 
45 Nancy and Thomas had six children: one unknown, William b. 1875, Kern/Curn b. 1877, Arve b. 1880, Lula Elizabeth b. 1883, and Sam b. 1887.

The 1850 Searcy County, AR (Calf Creek Township) has Nancy listed with J.P. Dean and Martha E. Dean, her parents and another female child named Martha. Nancy was five months old at this time. Her grandparents, Jonathan and Mary Dean live in Wiley's Cove Township, same county.

The 1860 Searcy County census has Nancy, now 9, living with the Martin Dean family. Her older sister, Martha, and her grandmother, Mary Dean, are also living with Martin's family.

Nancy's mother died in 1855, her grandfather, Jonathan, died in 1853. Her father, Jonathan "Jack" Parker Dean joined the Civil War and died as a soldier in 1863.
Mary Dean must have died within months of the census in 1860, or remarried in her old age.
Nancy lost both parents and, probably, both grandparents by 1863. Nancy would have been twelve at that time. She is listed with Martin Dean's family in 1860 so I'm going to assume (with an open eye) they lived with his family until adulthood or marriage. 		Nancy Mary Dean
 
46 Samuel's name appears in various records as Deane, Dean, Deine and Dane.

Samuel Deane came to America sometime prior to 1653. On September 24, 1653, he was living in Lancaster, Mass, when he signed the town covenant, subscribing to the "lawes and orders" of this newly incorporated town. The Geneological Register of the First Settlers of New England lists " Samuel Deane, Lancaster 1653."

According to a Documentary History of Jamaica, Long Island, "a party of English folk, of the Presbyterian faith for whom life in New England had been made uncomfortable by their Puritan neighbors, migrated in 1644 from Stamford, Connecticut, to Long Island and settled at Hempstead." Some of these later petitioned the Dutch Governor-General in Nieuw Amsterdam for additional land and this was granted on March 21, 1656. The first town meeting was held on November 25, 1656 of the "true owners . . . living at the new plantation near unto the bever pond, comonly called Jamaica." Seventeen persons signed themselves as the "true owners." The next town meeting on record, dated March 1, 1657, "adds the following (seven) new names to the town roll," including "Samuel Dein." The meeting record indicates that Samuel was granted "a House Lott lying upon ye South quarter of ye Town." Each of the townspeople was also granted 10 acres of planting land and 20 acres of meadow. Records of the Town of Jamaica confirm the above facts.

On August 6, 1657, a small ship, the Woodhouse, arrived in Nieuw Amsterdam carrying a band of Quakers. Quakerism, a religious movement begun in England by George Fox in 1652, was based on the belief that "God and access to the truth reside within every person." The Quakers were zealous preachers at that time and were not welcomed in the colonies [10]. Laws were passed against their presence in all but Rhode Island and they were frequently imprisoned and tortured for their beliefs, which treated organized religions of the day with disdain. Despite persecution, Quakerism gained a foothold on Long Island and grew, especially after the English regained New York from the Dutch in 1664. Samuel and Elizabeth were among those attending a Quaker meeting held at Jamaica January 9, 1661 and Samuel was one of the Quaker Petitioners from Jamaica who on March 3, 1661 asked the Dutch that they "be relieved of soldiers quartered with them."

Samuel was left a bequest by his father-in-law, Richard Chasmore, on February 15, 1663. The will presented March 2, 1663, according to Jamaica records.

Quaker founder George Fox came to America and preached near Jamaica on June 7, 1672. In that same year Samuel witnessed a deed given over by Anthony Wright for a Friend's meeting house in nearby Oyster Bay. Quaker records indicate that Samuel Deane was an "active member from 1672," that his wife became a Quaker on August 30, 1675 and "was an active member from 1676," and that "Friends meetings were appointed in 1687, at Samuel Dean's, Jamaica."

On April 12, 1681, Samuel was taxed on 231/2 acres of land in Jamaica. Samuel's name and that of his three oldest sons appear on the Jamaica rate list of 1683. His three oldest sons were John, Jonathan (our direct ancestor), and Samuel, Jr. The rate list indicates that Samuel owned 34 acres, 2 horses, 4 oxen, 6 cows and had a net worth of 139 pounds. In the latter regard, he was one of the wealthiest persons listed. His son John had 5 acres and a worth of 40 pounds; Jonathan, 18 acres and 58 pounds; Samuel, Jr., 4 acres and 22 pounds.

On June 23, 1705, Samuel conveyed "to my son Daniel Dean... my home lott and dwelling house ... (also) ten acres at the end of Abel Gail's home lot (also) one small island on ye south side of ye Town commonly called Deanes Island containing about 2 acres of upland, with one share of Boggy meadow, excepting 15 acres of ye said lott of meadow which I granted to my other sons Samuell, John and Jonathan."

At a town meeting of Jamaica, September 27, 1684, "Samuell Dean , ... Chosen by ye Town to take kere of ye Towne afairs. That things of publike consernment may not be neglected." At a town meeting, November 19, 1685, "Samull Dean . . . are chosen by the Town to take kare of Towne afairs for Repairing of hy ways or any other thing of nesesity. An they are herby impowred to call forth any man or men to imploy about Town Servis." Also, "Att a metting held att Jamaica January ye first 1693/94 in order to the building a metting house for ye Towne of Jamaica ther was choasen John Owkea Samll Deine Samll Denton Captn Carpenter & John Smith which abovsd five men are to devid ye Towne into five squadrons and to see timber and stones & lime all gotten and fittd proportionably as shall be necessary for sd worke."

On December 30, 1696, it is recorded that Samuell Deine sold 18 of his acres at a place called Millers Necke to Daniell Whitthead.

On June 23, 1705 Samuel Dean of Jamaica conveyed his home lot and dwelling there to son Daniel Dean, and several other parcels of land "excepting 15 acres . . . which I granted to my three other sons Samuell, John and Jonathan ."

One researcher suggests that Samuel Deane was "possibly a native of Yorkshire. " One descendant, John Candee Dean, believed that Samuel was a son of John Dean who, with his brother Walter, settled in Taunton, Mass, around 1637. Another descendant, Bashford Dean, believed that Samuel was the son of Samuel Deane of Stamford, Connecticutt.

47 # He was reported to have understood the speech of birds and had a pet sparrow that brought him news. The sparrow disappeared in Gotland when a farmer killed it with a stone. King Dag raided the area with his army and fleet and killed many and tookmany prisoners, but a slave hurled a pitchfork at the king's group and struck him in the head and killed him.

The remarkable stories go on and on for thirty generations. King Dag, who understood the speech of birds, perished in battle while seeking to avenge the death of his slain pet sparrow. [Royal Families of Medieval Scandinavia, Flanders, and Kiev]

49 Fell in battle against the jarls of Frode. Mentioned in Beowulf as Ohthere. A contemporary of the Danish King Hugleik, who died 515 AD. Suffered a great deal of trouble from Denmark. The Danish King Frode had helped King Egil against the revolt of one of his subjects, and demanded from his son a scat in return. [WBH - Sweden]

!Took a fleet to Denmark and devastated Vendil in Jutland, but ws overwhelmed in a naval battle in the Limfjord. The victorious Danes carried his body ashore and exposed it on a mound for beasts and birds to ravage. They took a tree-crow (or a crow of wood) and sent it to Sweden with the taunt that Ottar their king was of no more account than that. However, it has been argued that Ottar was nicknamed not from Vendil in Jutland but from Vendil in Uppland in Sweden, where the chief burial mound has traditionally been known as Ottars Hog, King Ottar's Howe, or the mound of Ottar Vendel-crow. It is Ottar's father Egill who is called vendilkr aka, Vendel-crow. [A History of the Vikings, p. 36-9]

Son of King Egil. Ottar fell in battle against the jarls of King Frode of Denmark. Both he and his son Audils, who ruled Svithiod after him, are mentioned in Beowulf as Ohthere and his son Eadgils of the royal Swedish line of the Scylfingas (Skilfings). This fact gives to Swedish history its first reliable date. The Danish king Hugleik, a contemporary of King Ottar, died in 515 AD, which renders with a certainty Ottar's reign as falling in the first part of the 6th century. [History of Sweden, p. 37-38]

# Note: 31. OF KING OTTAR.
# Note:
# Note:

Ottar was the name of King Egil's son who succeeded to the domains and kingdom after him. He did not continue friendly with King Frode, and therefore King Frode sent messengers to King Ottar to demand the scatt which Egil had promised him. Ottar replied, that the Swedes had never paid scatt to the Danes, neither would he; and the messengers had to depart with this answer. Frode was a great warrior, and he came one summer with his army to Sweden, and landed and ravaged the country. He killed many people, took some prisoners, burned all around in the inhabited parts, made a great booty, and made great devastation. The next summer King Frode made an expedition to the eastward; and when King Ottar heard that Frode was not at home in his own country, he went on board his own ships, sailed over to Denmark, and ravaged there without opposition. As he heard that a great many people were collected at Sealand, he proceeds westward to the Sound, and sails north about to Jutland; lands at Lymfjord; plunders the Vend district;burns, and lays waste, and makes desolate the country he goes over with his army. Vatt and Faste were the names of the earls whom Frode had appointed to defend the country in Denmark while he was abroad.When the earls heard that the Swedish king was laying Denmark waste,they collected an army, hastened on board their ships, and sailed by the south side to Lymfjord. They came unexpectedly upon Ottar, and the battle began immediately. The Swedes gave them a good reception,and many people fell on both sides; but as soon as men fell in the Danish army other men hastened from the country to fill their places,and also all the vessels in the neighbourhood joined them. The battle ended with the fall of Ottar and the greater part of his people. The Danes took his body, carried it to the land, laid it upon a mound of earth, and let the wild beasts and ravens tear it to pieces.Thereafter they made a figure of a crow out of wood, sent it to Sweden, and sent word with it that their king, Ottar, was no better than it; and from this he was called Ottar Vendelcrow. Thjodolf tellsso of it: --

"By Danish arms the hero bold,
Ottar the Brave, lies stiff and cold.
To Vendel's plain the corpse was borne;
By eagles' claws the corpse is torn,
Spattered by ravens' bloody feet,
The wild bird's prey, the wild wolf's meat.
The Swedes have vowed revenge to take
On Frode's earls, for Ottar's sake;
Like dogs to kill them in their land,
In their own homes, by Swedish hand."  		Ottar (Vendlkraka) Egilsson
 
50 It is either this John or his father, Jean who moved from France to England with other Huguenot refugees.

John 2 Emery was born ca 157x at Winchester, Hants. and died 29 June 1627 at Romsey, Hants. He married, in 1597 at Romsey, Hants, Agnes Northend who was born 1576 and died ca 16xx both at Romsey, Hants. That John 2 Emery's wife was named Agnes is noted in a number of documents. That her surname is Northend is noted in the "Revised Genealogical Records of John Emery of Newbury, Ma." compiled by Judith E. Burns, 1982. Agnes Northend is noted as being born in 1576 as the daughter of Ezekiel and Edna Halsted Northend. But the known Ezekiel Northend who married Edna Halstead was born in 1622 and married Edna Halstead in 1648. It would truly be a rare coincidence if there was another Ezekiel Northend who married an Edna Halstead ca 157x. There was a John Northend who died prior to 1608 who had a son born in 1575. If Agnes, the wife of John 2 Emery, surname was Northend, then in all probability she was the daughter of John Northend who died pr 1608. The other observation concerning Agnes "Northend" is that Hunsley, Yorks, the location of the Northends, is quite a wee bit of distance from Romsey, Hants.

John 2 Emery is not listed in a subsidy (tax roll) during the time frame of 157x to 1600 which indicates that he owned no land and probably had small personal wealth. One would have to assume that he was a tenant farmer. It is possible that he was a carpenter which was the vocation of two of his sons, i.e., Anthony and John 3. Little else of record is known of John 2 Emery and his family.
