| 3051 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] Walter was Lord of Longueville and a companion of William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings, 1066. For a discussion of him and his ancestry, see "Falaise Roll" (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1994), pp. 21-22. One of his sons was chancellor to King William Rufus and was made bishop of Winchester by King Henry I. | Giffard, Walter (I1269)
|
| 3052 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] Walter was Sheriff of Wiltshire and was "of Chitterne." He founded the Bradenstock Priory. | de Salisbury, Walter ("the Sheriff") (I1088)
|
| 3053 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] Waltheof II, Earl of Northumberland, Huntingdon and Northampton and Lord of Hallamshire, Wolthamstow and Toteenhard; married Lady Judith Lens who was the King's cousin and who founded the Nunnery of Elstow. {Cf. ID2151 - apparently there is a discrepancy in fathers; information for ID2614 from "Royal Ancestors of Magna Charta Barons," by Carr P. Collins, Jr., Dallas, 1959, p. 143 - not always reliable.} Waltheof II was beheaded on St. Giles' Hill near Winchester. | Waltheof, Earl of Northumberland II (I1115)
|
| 3054 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] Warren and his wife resided in the large house opposite the post office on Main Street in Castine. His ancestor, William Hooper, was a Signer of the Declaration of Independence. For Hooper genealogy, see "History of Castine," by George A. Wheeler, p. 417. | Hooper, Warren Perkins (I2239)

|
| 3057 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] Widow of Charles II the Bald. | Bourges, Richilde of (I1798)
|
| 3058 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] William appears to be son of _____ Malet, a descendant of Robert (son of Maleth, living 990), and a daughter of Leofric (ID3229) and Godiva (ID3230)[see "Falaise Roll..." table cited for ID3229]. Carr P. Collins, Jr., "Royal Ancestors of Magna Charta Barons" (Dallas: 1959), pp. 176 & 258, suggests that William, "Lord Malet," was Governor of York Castle and a General and Companion of William the Conqueror, that he may be a brother of King Harold's wife, that he is called a grandson of Godiva of Mercia, and that his wife is Hesilla (Elsie) Crispin - and offers a chart showing Hesilla as daughter of Gilbert Crispin and William as son of Alfgar III (Earl of Mercia) and wife Princess Elfgifu (dau. of King Ethelred II of England)(Alfgar III is son of Earl Leofric III and Lady Godiva). Cf. Arthur Malet, "Notices of an English Branch of the Malet Family." "Ancestral Roots..." (Balt., 1992) 234A-25 states William is "of Granville St. Honorine, Normandy, at Battle of Hastings, 1066..." | Malet, William I (I1185)

|
| 3064 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] William the Marshal, Earl of Pembroke (via his young wife), Lord of Striguil and Regent of England (in the minority of Henry III) was appropriately eulogized at his funeral by Archbishop Langton of Canterbury who said, "Here lies all that remains of the best knight of all the world who has lived in our time." William was renown across Europe for his courage, honesty and loyalty to his country, and served with much distinction as a chief officer of several kings. {His biography is "L'Historie de Guillaume le Marechal," probably written by his squire, John Earley. His life and importance are summarized in "The Magnificent Century," Thomas B. Costain (Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Co., 1951), pp. 41ff.} He fought in more than 500 duels in the tilting ring and lost none nor was seriously injured in any of the many battles in which he fought. He was in the Holy Land on crusade c. 1185-87, was one of the regents during Richard's absence (1190), etc. His five sons succeeded him one by one as earl. For more information, try this site on the World Wide Web: http://www.castlewales.com/marshall.html Also see "L'historie de Guillaume de Marchale, Comte de Striguil et de la Pembroke: The History of William the Marshal, Earl of Striguil and Pembroke" (written about 1225 and translated and edited by Paul Meyer, 3 vols., Societe de l'Histoire de France, Paris, 1891-1901. | Marshal, Sir William The (I1026)
|
| 3065 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] William was a blacksmith and resided at Penobscot, Maine. The first schoolmaster in the village, James Whitelaw, for many years "taught in the home of William Conner, as early as 1785 and as late as 1791." {-"Penobscot Bicentennial" [booklet], p.31} John and Elizabeth had a large family; the children listed here are those whose names were remembered by Fred S. Conner in 1938 and Ardelle M. Conner in 1932 (in a letter to her niece Luena) - they are not listed in birth order. | Conner, William (I2014)
|
| 3066 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] William was Chamberlain to Alexander III, King of Scotland. His first wife is Elizabeth Comyn, who died in 1267. | William Earl of Mar (I1005)

|
| 3069 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] William was son of Samuel Dunbar (bookkeeper for a ship's chandler and later a merchant) and Clara P. Wardwell. Samuel Dunbar (b. 2 Sept 1826, d. 14 April 1908) is son of Reuben Dunbar (d. 15 Aug 1881, age 83 yr. 6 mo.) and wife Elizabeth F. Parker (d. 20 Dec 1878, age 75 yr. 10 mo. 14 days, dau. of Simeon and Mary nee Perkins). Reuben Dunbar is son of Capt. David Dunbar, d. 7 Oct 1843 age 60 y. 8 mo. 26 d., and wife Nancy W., d. 21 May 1866, age 79 yr. 6 mo. | Dunbar, William Fernald (I1896)
|
| 3070 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] William's family history is given in "A Family of the Bagaduce: The Ancestry and Genealogy of William Conner, Jr....," by Albert E. Myers (Harrisburg, PA, 1976). His middle name is Henry per plaque under his portrait in the Wilson Museum, Castine, Maine; this plaque notes that Capt. Conner sailed clipper ships to the West Indies and other ports, and later sailed to the Grand Banks. He is not to be confused with person of the same name in coastal Waldo County, Maine. The ship William H. Conner, built in Searsport, was named for this other William H. Conner, who d. 13 Sept 1875 at age 57, resident of Belfast, ME, merchant and shipbuilder (m. Caroline R. Porter 22 Sept 1839, she d. 13 Sept 1875) - the ship was the largest and last full-rigged ship built at Searsport [launched in June, 1877, 210' long, 40' beam, 24' depth, 1496 tons]. A fine description of fishing on the Grand Banks under sail is given in Chapter 26 of "Coastal Maine: A Maritime History," Roger F. Duncan (New York: W.W.Norton, 1992). Also see "Maine Sea Fisheries: The Rise and Fall of a Native Industry, 1830-1890," by Wayne M. O'Leary (Boston: Northeastern University Press). By 1860 Castine was the wealthiest town in Maine, due to its fishing fleet. | Conner, William Henry Jr (I2639)
|
| 3071 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] William, grandson of King Henry II, was Lord of Glamorgan and Cardiff Castle and 2nd Earl of Gloucester (succeeding his father). | Robert, Earl of Gloucester William Fitz (I1047)
|
| 3072 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] Witichin is traditionally given as Robert's father, but more recent scholarship disputes this. {See New England Historic and Genealolgical Register, October, 1963, pp. 268-71.} Robert, Count of Anjou and Blois, was one of the great leaders in the Carolingian period and became Rector (Lay Abbot) of St. Martin de Marmoutier, near Tours, in 852. He was killed in action against the Norsemen. He was created Count of Anjou and of Blois, and acquired the countships of Auxerre and Nevers. He is remembered for his heroic defense of the Frankish realm lying between the Seine and Loire rivers against the Norse and Bretons. His title of "Duke" was military, not hereditary. Modern scholarship states that he is Rutpert IV, Count in the Wormsgau as early as 836, whose father is Rutpert III, Count of record from 812, dead by 834. "Ancestral Roots..." (Balt., 1992), line 48, shows his mother to be Adelaide or Aelis of Tours and Alsace (b. ca. 819, d. ca. 866), widow of Conrad I, Count of Aargau and Auxerre (d. 863) and dau. of Hugh, Count of Tours. | Robert, Duke Duke (I1636)
|
| 3073 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] Witteking was the last King of the Saxons (769-85) and the first Duke of Saxony (785-807){per Carr P. Collins, "Royal Ancestors of Magna Charta Barons," Dallas, TX, 1959, p. 222 - his ancestry is also from this source}. Note: He is the same person as ID7175 in this database, shown here as his brother!! | Witteking, Duke Duke (I1842)
|
| 3074 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] Yaroslav "the Wise" brought Kievan Rus to a pinnacle internally and in its foreign relations; he build a cathedral (Santa Sophia) in Kiev, codified laws, expanded westward into Poland and defeated the Petchenegs. John L. LaMonte, "The World of the Middle Ages" (New York: Appleton..., 1949), p. 149, states "...Russia had in the eleventh century a culture and civilization far superior to that of England, Frank or Western Europe generally...Kiev was the greatest capital of Christendom after Constantinople." | Yaroslav, Grand Prince of Kiev I (I1237)

|
| 3076 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] [Another correspondent reports Elmer d. 14 March 1971, crippled since age 16 from polio. Sylvia Conner Wardwell lists his dates as 1910-1973 in 9/96 letter.] | Young, Elmer (I2379)
|
| 3077 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] [Kraentzler, op. cit., p. 60, gives her name as Hadeburge de Beaudemont, dau. of Raoul IV de Beaudemont, Viscount de Mans, and Ermensinde de Montreveau (first marriage for both).] | Hildeburg (I1284)
|
| 3078 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] [Line from "The Plantagenet Ancestry," W.H.Turton (Balt.: Gen. Pub. Co., 1968), p. 88, 100:] Gilbert "accompanied his uncle [William the Conqueror] into England, and participating in the triumph of Hastings, obtained a grant of the lands of a Danish proprietor, named Tour, with numerous other lordships. This Gilbert happened to be in York, anno 1069, and had a narrow escape, when the Danes, in great force on behalf of Edgar Etheling, entered the mouth of the Humber, and marching upon that city, committed lamentable destruction by fire and sword, there being more than 3,000 Normans slain. Like most of the great lords of his time, Gilbert de Gant disgorged a part of the spoil which he had siezed to the churches, and amongst other acts of piety restored Bardney Abbey, co. Lincoln, which had been utterly destroyed many years before by the pagan Danes, Inquar and Hubba." - Burke's "Dormant and Extinct Peerages," 1883, p. 227. Gilbert is "son of Baldwin, Earl of Flanders, by Maud, sister of William the Conqueror". [An alternate ancestry is given elsewhere in this database. Also see "Falaise Roll" (Baltimore: Gen. Pub. Co., 1994), p. 30.] | Gant, Baron of Folkingham Gilbert de (I1363)
|
| 3079 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] [Malcolm phps. m. a daughter of Sigurd, Jarl or Earl of Orkney, who died 23 April 1014 in the Battle of Clortarf, Ireland, and wife Donada (Alice) of Scotland. S's ancestry is known as far back as Sveide the Viking, a Norse King who died in 760.] Malcolm II reigned 25 March 1005-1034 & was murdered. Malcolm frequently invaded northern England and at the battle of Carham in 1015 finally secured Lothian for Scotland. OR Malcolm "is said to have m. an Irishwoman from Ossory" [more likely]. | MacKenneth, King of Scots Malcolm II (I1210)
|
| 3080 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] [Parents are presumed - cf. W.H.Turton, "The Plantagenet Ancestry" (Balt.: Gen.Pub.Co., 1968), p. 112. "Ancestral Roots..." (Balt., 1992) 250-17 reports she is Eldegarde, (dau. or niece of Ermenfroi, Count of Amiens ?, prob. a Carolingian princess), who m. (2) Waleran, a count...." However, it is highly unlikely that this Hildegarde of Flanders could have been the daughter of Arnulf I "The Elder", Count of Flanders -- if Raoul died in 936 and Arnulf married Alix De Vermandois in February 934. Supposedly Hildegarde is a daughter from this marriage, but it appears unlikely even if the years are not exactly correct that a daughter of this marriage married Raoul De Gouy.] | Flanders, Hildegarde of (I1658)
|
| 3081 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] [There appears to be a missing generation, probably Pepin I, Ct. of Senlis and Valois, d. ca. 893, between Pepin II and Pepin, Ct. of Vermandois. Cf. W.H.Turton, "The Plantagenet Ancestry" (Balt.:Gen.Pub.Co.,1968),p.112.] | Pepin, Count of Senlis II (I1660)
|
| 3082 | [dunbar_tree.FTW] [Two Gardiner families appear in the Visitation of Surrey, 1623] John was servant to Kenelm Winslow early at Plymouth; John moved to Hingham ca. 1650, and r. 1656 in south part of town. Larry Gardner on Prodigy 12/91 reports that "Early Settlers of Maryland" demonstrates that Gardners also used the name Garnett. A Richard Gardner emigrated to Maryland in 1637 with wife Elizabeth and children - some of his sons took the name Garnett. Carolyn Hartman (suprmm234@aol.com) offered 1 Jan 2003: "According to our family history, John Gardner came to Duxbury, Mass when he was 16 years old. He came from London with Governor Winthrop's brother in 1627. When Mr. Winthrop went back to London, John did not wish to go with him and so was put out as an apprentice and had to serve seven years. He came to Boston when he married, 6/10/1651 to a woman whose name was Mary. They settled in Hingham and had 10 children. The children were: John;7/17/1652:Samuel 3/23/1655: Stephen 8/14/1662: Christian 6/3/1668: Frances 3/31/1653: Deborah 7/5/1657: Thomas 6/5/1664: Mary 11/19/1654: Jane 2/4/1659: Benjamin 4/7/1666. He died 11/24/1668. Mary then married a second time to Nathaniel Chubbuck. His son Stephen was born in Hingham 8/14/1662. He married Dec. 20, 1687 to Sarah Warren, daughter of John and Deborah (Wilson)Warren of Boston. They had 9 children. He died 11/2/1715. She lived to be 101 years old." | Gardner, John (I378)
