| 1 | "During the 1180s the king [William the Lion] struck up an alliance with Lachlan (or 'Roland'), lord of Galloway, who had married into the Anglo-Norman family of Moreville, and whose change of name neatly captures the interaction that was beginning between the native and foreign cultures. When in 1187 William was again faced by a northern uprising, it was Roland who captured its leader, Donald mac William, a distant kinsman of the king". p. 59: "Roland of Galloway's marriage to the Moreville heiress expanded the family's interests." [Ref: Political Development of the British Isles 1100-1400, by Robin Frame, Oxford, 1990, p. 42] "Roland, Lord of Galloway, the son of Uchtred. On the death of his uncle, Gilbert, in 1185, Roland rose in arms, and possessed himself of all of Galloway." Henry II threatened to invade in 1186; Roland agreed to swear fealty, give his three sons as hostages, and keep Uchtred's lands. Gilbert's son Duncan got Carrick. "Roland greatly increased his lands by marrying Eva, Ela, or Helena, daughter of Richard de Moreville, Constable of Scotland, who died 1196. Roland inherited the office of Constable. Issue: 1. Alan. 2. Thomas, Earl of Atholl. 3. ---, hostage in 1186. Daughter Ada married Sir Walter Bisset." [Ref: "Peerage of Scotland" by John Philip Wood, Edinburgh, 1813, v 1, pp. 612-13] "On the death of the cruel Gilbert in 1185, Roland, son of Uchtred, claimed the lordship of Galloway. . . . Roland, the father of Alan and Thomas, obtained extensive estates in the shires of Northampton, Huntingdon, and Bedford, in right of his wife, Elena de Moreville (Joseph Bain, "Calendar of Documents Relating to Scotland", vol. i, p. 47)." [Ref: A History of Dumfries and Galloway" by Sir Herbert Maxwell, Edinburgh, 1896, p 56] "In 1200 Lachlan, alias Roland, son of Uhtred lord of Galloway, remembered . . . that his wife Helen de Morville, heir of her father Richard and of her grandmother Beatrice de Beauchamp, was entitled to four knights' fees respectively at Bozeat, Northants, Whissendine and Whitwell in Rutland, Offord in Huntingdonshire, and Houghton Conquest beside Bedford--the 5 hides at Houghton having been originally acquired by Hugh de Beauchamp, Beatrice's grandfather, probably not long before 1086."

| 2 | 1. Alberic de Vere 1st Baron de Vere was the son of Alphonse, Count de Chisnes and Married Beatrix daughter of Henry Cartesian of Bourgboug. In the the latter years of his life he became a monk and at his death was buried in the church of Colhe Priory which he founded. Late medieval sources put forward claims of descent from Charlemagne through the Counts of Flanders or Guînes. In fact, the only connection of the Veres of England with Guînes in Flanders, was through a short-lived marriage; Aubrey I's grandson Aubrey de Vere III married Beatrice, heiress to the county of Guînes, in the 12th century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aubrey_de_Vere_I | d'Ver, Alphonsus Count of Ghesnes (I916)

| 8 | According to the medieval chronicler Widukind of Corvey, Hedwig was a younger daughter of the Saxon duke Henry the Fowler (c.?876-936), elected King of East Francia from 919, and his second wife Matilda of Ringelheim (c.?895-968). Her siblings were Otto I, who succeeded his father as king and was crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 962; Duke Henry I of Bavaria; Gerberga of Saxony, who married King Louis IV of France in 939; and Archbishop Bruno of Cologne. After her brother Otto I came to power in 936, an alliance and marriage was arranged with the West Frankish duke Hugh the Great, who sought support in his struggles with King Louis IV. Hedwig was Hugh's third wife. They married probably in May 937. When Hedwig's husband died in 956, her son Hugh Capet was still underage. Although Hugh inherited his father's estates, he did not rule independently from the beginning. Along with her brother, Archbishop Bruno, Hedwig acted as Hugh's regent and administrator of the Robertian estates until he came of age. Bruno also held guardianship over his nephew King Lothair of France, son of his sister Gerberga, and temporarily raised to one of the most powerful nobles in West Francia. Hedwig backed her brother in his conflict with Count Reginar III of Hainaut and arbitrated in the rivalry between her son Hugh Capet and King Lothair. Hedwig is last mentioned in 958 by the West Frankish chronicler Flodoard of Reims and may have died soon after; a 965 entry by Sigebert of Gembloux seems doubtful. | von Sachsen, Hadwig (I810)

| 13 | Agnes of Essex, Countess of Oxford (1151– 1212 or later) was the daughter of a royal constable Henry of Essex and his second wife, Alice. At the age of three she was betrothed to Geoffrey de Vere, brother of the first Earl of Oxford, and turned over to be raised by the Veres soon thereafter. She remained in the household of the earl of Oxford about three years, then moved to Geoffrey's care. In her eleventh year Agnes rejected the match with Geoffrey and by early 1163 was married to his eldest brother Aubrey de Vere III, 1st Earl of Oxford, as his third wife. In spring 1163, Agnes's father Henry was accused of treason and fought (and lost) a judicial duel. After her father's disgrace and the resulting forfeiture of his lands and offices, the earl of Oxford sought to have his marriage to Agnes annulled. On 9 May 1166, she appealed her case from the court of the bishop of London to the pope (the archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket, being in exile at the time). While the case was pending in Rome, the earl reportedly kept Agnes confined in one of his three castles, for which the bishop of London Gilbert Foliot reprimanded Aubrey. Pope Alexander III ruled in her favor, thus establishing the canon law requirement of consent by females in betrothal and the sacrament of marriage. The couple later jointly founded a Benedictine priory for nuns near their castle at Castle Hedingham, Essex around 1190. Countess Agnes long survived her husband and in 1198 paid the crown for the right to remain unmarried. She died sometime in or after 1212 and was buried in the Vere mausoleum at Colne Priory, Essex. Name Dispute Many mistakenly have called Earl Aubrey's third wife Lucia, rather than Agnes. This mistake is based on a misreading of a single document associated with a religious house at Hedingham, Essex. A woman named Lucia was the first prioress at Castle Hedingham Priory. On her death in the early thirteenth century, an illustrated mortuary or 'bede' roll was carried to many religious houses requesting prayers for her soul. In the preface of that document Lucia is called the foundress of the priory. As the role of "founder" is generally ascribed to lay patrons and the countess presumably cooperated with her husband in the founding of the house, 18th-century scholars erroneously assumed that the prioress was Earl Aubrey's widow. Royal records disprove that assumption. Children Agnes bore her husband four sons and a daughter, including two future earls of Oxford: 1. Aubrey IV and 2. Robert I. 3. Her daughter Alice married 1) Ernulf de Kemesech, 2) John, constable of Chester. 4. Agnes's son Henry appears to have become chancellor of Hereford Cathedral under his uncle, Bishop William de Vere, and later a royal clerk under King John of England. 5. Little is known of Ralph de Vere except that he may have been the second son (from the order in which he witnessed his father's charters) and died before 1214, when his younger brother Robert succeeded to the earldom on the death of Aubrey IV, 2nd earl. -- Wikiwand: Agnes of Essex, Countess of Oxford --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agnes of Essex, countess of Oxford (c.1151-c.1212) was the daughter of Henry of Essex and his second wife. She was betrothed at age three to Geoffrey de Vere, brother of the first earl of Oxford, and turned over to the de Veres soon thereafter. Agnes later rejected the match with Geoffrey and by 1163 had married his brother Aubrey de Vere III, the earl (died 1194), as his third wife. After her father's disgrace and forfeiture of lands and office in that year, the earl sought to have his marriage annulled. Agnes fought the action. On May 9, 1166, she appealed her case from the court of the bishop of London to the pope (the archbishop Canterbury, Thomas Becket, being in exile at the time).

| 15 | Alan of Galloway (before 1199 – 1234), also known as Alan fitz Roland, was a leading thirteenth-century Scottish magnate. As the hereditary Lord of Galloway and Constable of Scotland, he was one of the most influential men in the Kingdom of Scotland and Irish Sea zone. ... Alan was born sometime before 1199. He was the eldest son of Roland fitz Uhtred, Lord of Galloway, and his wife, Helen de Morville. His parents were likely married before 1185, possibly at some point in the 1170s, since Roland was compelled to hand over three sons as hostages to Henry II, King of England in 1186. Roland and Helen had three sons, and two daughters. The name of one of Alan's brothers is unknown, suggesting that he died young. The other, Thomas, became Earl of Atholl by right of his wife. One of Alan's sisters, Ada, married Walter Bisset, Lord of Aboyne. The other, Dervorguilla, married Nicholas de Stuteville, Lord of Liddel. ... Alan was married three times. His first wife was a daughter of Roger de Lacy, Constable of Chester. It was likely upon this union that Alan gained the English lordship of Kippax as maritagium from his father-in-law. Alan's second marriage, to David's daughter Margaret, is dated to 1209 by the Chronicle of Lanercost and Chronicle of Melrose. The date of Alan's third marriage, to Hugh [de Lacy]'s daughter Rose, is generally thought to date to 1229, as stated by the Chronicle of Lanercost. Another possible date for this marriage is about a decade earlier. Alan's second marriage. allied him to the Scottish royal family, and his first and third marriages allied him to the two main branches of the powerful Lacy family—firstly the Pontefract branch, and afterwards the Woebley branch. Alan had several children from his first two marriages, although only daughters appear to have reached adulthood. Marriage 1 1. One daughter died whilst a Scottish hostage of the English king, her death being reported in June 1213. 2. Helen, another daughter married Roger de Quincy. Although the date of this union is unknown, it may have taken place before Alan's death, and could well have been the point when her husband came into possession of Kippax. At some point before 1234, Marriage 2 1. Christiana married William de Forz. 2. In 1233, Dervorguilla, married John de Balliol, Lord of Barnard Castle. 3. Alan had a son named Thomas. A product of Alan's second marriage, he was his only known legitimate male offspring. Although the date of this son's death is unknown, he may have lived into in the 1220s. - Additionally, Alan had an illegitimate son, also named Thomas. Death Thomas, Alan's brother, died in 1231, possibly from injuries suffered in a tournament accident. Alan's death, about three years later in 1234, is recorded by the Annals of Ulster, the Chronicle of Melrose, and the Chronicle of Lanercost—the later specifying the month February. Alan's body was interred at Dundrennan Abbey, a Cistercian religious house founded by his paternal great-grandfather. ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_of_Galloway | FitzRoland, Alan Lord of Galloway (I858)

Roy was a member of that college's first basketball team when it was introduced there in 1903 and he was graduated from F & M with the class of 1904. After graduation, Roy engaged in teaching for about 14 years. During that time he served variously as a member of the faculties of Massanutton Academy, Carnegie Institute of Technology, Lancaster Boys High School and the former Reading Boys High School.

Between 1915 and 1920, he won several county tennis championships in Berks and Dauphin counties. It was during this period that he met GRACE DARLING THOMPSON whom he married 14 June 1916 at Reading, Pennsylvania. With a growing family to support, Roy left teaching and in 1919 entered the employ of the Narrow Fabric Company. During the years prior to his retirement in 1951, he served successively as manager of the company's New York office from 1922 to 1932, and then as vice president in charge of sales.

| 29 | Aubrey (Albericus) de Vere (died circa 1112-1113) was a tenant-in-chief in England of William the Conqueror in 1086, as well as a tenant of Geoffrey de Montbray, bishop of Coutances and of Count Alan, lord of Richmond. A much later source named his father as Alphonsus.[1] Biography His origins are obscure and various regions have been proposed for his birthplace, from Zeeland to Brittany. He may have been Norman, possibly from the region of Ver in the Cotentin peninsula of western Normandy, but the evidence is such that no certainty is possible. Late medieval sources put forward claims of descent from Charlemagne through the Counts of Flanders or Guînes. In fact, the only connection of the Veres of England with Guînes in Flanders was through a short-lived marriage; Aubrey I's grandson Aubrey de Vere III married Beatrice, heiress to the county of Guînes, in the 12th century but there was no issue and their marriage was annulled after six or seven years of their marriage. In the Domesday Book, he is listed as "Aubrey the chamberlain" and "Aubrey the queen's chamberlain" as well as Aubrey de Vere. He and his wife held land in nine counties in 1086. Both were accused of some unauthorized land seizures.[2] Aubrey's estates were valued at approximately £300, putting him in roughly the middle ranks of the post-conquest barons of England in terms of landed wealth.[3] He served King Henry I in the first decade of his reign as a chamberlain and local justiciar in the counties of Berkshire and Northamptonshire.[4] Sometime in or before 1104, Aubrey's eldest son Geoffrey fell ill and was tended at Abingdon Abbey in Berkshire by the royal physician, Abbot Faritius. The youth appeared to have recovered but suffered a relapse, died, and was buried at the abbey. His parents then founded a cell of Abingdon on land they donated for the purpose: Colne Priory, Essex. Within a year of the formal dedication in March 1111, Aubrey I joined that community and died soon. His youngest son William died not long after his father. Both were buried at the priory, establishing it as the Vere family mausoleum.[5] Aubrey de Vere II then succeeded to his father's estates. Aubrey I was married by 1086. As his spouse's name is recorded as Beatrice in 1104 and Beatrice is named as the mother of his eldest son, she was almost certainly his wife in 1086.[6] Beatrice attended the formal ceremony for the founding of Earl's Colne Priory. Besides sons Geoffrey, Aubrey II, and William mentioned above, the couple's children included Roger and Robert.[7] Estates The principal estates held by Aubrey de Vere in 1086: Castle Hedingham, Beauchamp [Walter], Great Bentley, Great Canfield, Earls Colne, [White] Colne, and Dovercourt, Essex; Aldham, Belstead, Lavenham, and Waldingfield, Suffolk; Castle Camps, Hildersham, Silverley, and Wilbraham, Cambridgeshire. He possessed houses and acreage in Colchester and a house in Winchester. As tenant of Geoffrey bishop of Coutances, he held Kensington, Middlesex; Scaldwell and Wadenhoe, Northamptonshire. Of the barony of Count Alan of Brittany, he held the manors of Beauchamp Roding, Canfield, and West Wickham, Essex. His wife held Aldham, Essex, in her own right of Odo bishop of Bayeux. The couple both were accused by Domesday jurors of expansion into Little Maplestead, Essex. Aubrey's seizures or questionable right of possession to estates included Manuden, Essex; Great Hemingford, Huntingdonshire; and Swaffham, Cambridgeshire.

["Alberico de Ver" attested a charter of Conan II Duke of Brittany[1072] (who ruled in his own name from 1057 to 1066).

Her birth date range is estimated from the birth of her first known son in [1110]. She became a nun at the Priory of St Osyth. Aubrey de Vere & his wife had nine children: a) ADELISA ([1105]-after 1185).

The same source, in another passage, records that “Alicia de Essex…est iiii.xx annorum” (presumably indicating "4 x 20 years" i.e. 80, which appears to be a more accurate assessment than the statement in the earlier passage that she was 60 years old, given the general chronology of these families) and held “Clavering sicut dotem suam, de feodo Henrici de Essex”, adding that she had “ii filios milites" and land "in comitatu Norhamton…de feodo comitis Willelmi"[1107]. m firstly ROBERT de Essex, son of [ROBERT FitzSwein & his wife Gunnor Bigod] (-[1132/40]).

| 31 | Aubrey de Vere, 10th Earl of Oxford (c. 1338 – 15 February 1400) was the third son of John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford and Maud de Badlesmere, daughter of Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Lord Badlesmere. Aubrey de Vere had three brothers, John, Thomas, and Robert, and three sisters. Margaret, Maud and Elizabeth. His eldest brother, John, married the daughter of Hugh Courtenay, Earl of Devon, but died in 1350 in his father's lifetime. Another brother, Robert, also died in his father's lifetime. Aubrey de Vere's third brother, Thomas, succeeded his father as 8th Earl of Oxford, and was in turn succeeded by his only son, Robert de Vere, 9th Earl of Oxford, who died in 1392 without issue, leaving Aubrey de Vere to inherit the earldom. In 1360 Aubrey de Vere was made steward of the royal forest of Havering in Essex. In 1367 was retained to 'abide for life' with the Black Prince, with a substantial allowance. He was knighted, made constable of Wallingford Castle in 1375 and also given the honours of Wallingford and St. Valery, though he gave up Wallingford in 1378 for Hadleigh Castle. Edward III used him as an ambassador in seeking peace with France. In 1381, de Vere became a Chamberlain of the Royal Household and member of the privy council. In 1388 his nephew, Robert de Vere, Duke of Ireland and 9th Earl of Oxford was deemed a traitor, causing Aubrey to lose his post of chamberlain. However, after Robert’s death in 1392, the king gave Aubrey the title of Earl of Oxford allowing him to take a seat in parliament. Aubrey’s son, Richard became the 11th Earl of Oxford on his death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aubrey_de_Vere,_10th_Earl_of_Oxford Aubrey de Vere, 10th Earl of Oxford was born circa 1339. He was the son of John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford and Maud de Badlesmere. He married Alice FitzWalter, daughter of John FitzWalter, 3rd Lord FitzWalter and Alianore de Percy. He died on 23 April 1400. He was Secretary to Edward, The Black Prince in 1371. He was Envoy to negotiate peace with France in 1377. He held the office of Constable of Hadleigh Castle in February 1377/78. He was appointed Privy Counsellor (P.C.) from November 1378 to January 1379/80. He held the office of Chamberlain of the Royal Household before January 1380/81. He was Envoy to negotiate peace with France in 1383. In January 1392/93 he got back his nephew, 9th Earl of Oxford's possessions, but not the Hereditary Master Chamberlainship of England.

| 32 | Aubrey de Vere, 1st Earl of Oxford (c. 1115 – 26 December 1194) was a noble involved in the succession conflict between King Stephen and Empress Matilda in the mid-twelfth century. He was the son of Aubrey de Vere, master chamberlain, and Alice (died c. 1163), a daughter of Gilbert de Clare. In 1136 or 1137 Aubrey de Vere married Beatrice, the daughter of Henry, Constable of Bourbourg, and the granddaughter and heiress of Manasses, Count of Guînes in the Pas de Calais. After the death of Manasses late in 1138, Aubrey travelled to Guînes, did homage to Thierry, Count of Flanders, and was made Count of Guînes by right of his wife. The marriage, however, may not have been consummated, due to the poor health of Beatrice. Aubrey de Vere succeeded on 15 May 1141, after his father had been slain by a mob in London at a time of civil war between King Stephen and the Empress Matilda over the succession to the crown. King Stephen had been captured at the Battle of Lincoln in February 1141, so Aubrey did homage to the Empress. His brother-in-law, the Earl of Essex, appears to have negotiated the grant of an earldom to Aubrey in July 1141, which grant was confirmed by Henry fitz Empress in Normandy. The latter charter provided that Aubrey de Vere would be Earl of Cambridgeshire, with the third penny, unless that county were held by the King of Scots, in which case he was to have a choice of four other titles. In the event, de Vere took the title of Earl of Oxford. Earl Geoffrey made his peace with King Stephen when the king regained his freedom late in 1141 and most likely Aubrey de Vere did as well. In 1143, however, the King arrested Essex and Oxford at St. Albans. Both were forced to surrender their castles to the King to regain their liberty. The earl of Essex retaliated by rebelling against the king; it appears that Oxford did not actively or openly support his brother-in-law. At some time between 1144 and 1146 the Constable of Bourbourg, arranged a divorce for his daughter Countess Beatrice with Earl Aubrey's consent, after which Oxford ceased to be Count of Guînes. In or before 1151 Oxford married Euphemia. King Stephen and his wife, Queen Maud, gave the manor of Ickleton, Cambridgeshire, as Euphemia's marriage portion. The marriage was short-lived; Euphemia was dead by 1154, leaving no known issue. She was buried at Colne Priory. On 3 May 1152 Queen Maud died at Oxford's seat of Castle Hedingham, and in the winter of 1152–3 Oxford was with the King at the siege of Wallingford, attesting important charters in 1153 as "earl Aubrey." In 1162 or 1163 Earl Aubrey took as his third wife Agnes, the daughter of Henry of Essex, lord of Rayleigh. At the time of the marriage Agnes was probably aged twelve. Soon after their marriage, Aubrey's father-in-law was accused of treason and fought (and lost) a judicial duel. By 1165 he attempted to have the marriage annulled, allegedly because Agnes had been betrothed to his brother, Geoffrey de Vere, but probably in reality because her father had been disgraced and ruined. Oxford reportedly 'kept his wife shut up and did not allow her to attend church or go out, and refused to cohabit with her', according to the letter the bishop of London wrote to the Pope about the case when the young countess appealed to the Roman Curia. The pope sided with Agnes and declared the marriage valid, but the earl continued to refuse to take her back as his wife. Agnes's friends appealed to the Bishop of London, and ultimately to Pope Alexander III, who in 1171 or 1172 directed the bishop to order Oxford to restore her to her conjugal rights or to suffer interdiction and excommunication. By Agnes, Oxford eventually had four sons, Aubrey de Vere, 2nd Earl of Oxford, Ralph, Robert de Vere, 3rd Earl of Oxford, and Henry, and a daughter, Alice. In 1184 Oxford obtained the wardship of the person of Isabel de Bolebec, daughter of Walter de Bolebec, but not the custody of her lands. In 1190 he paid 500 marks for the right to marry her to his eldest son and heir, Aubrey de Vere, later 2nd Earl of Oxford. Oxford served during the civil war of 1173–4, helping to repel a force under Robert de Beaumont, 3rd Earl of Leicester, which landed in Suffolk on 29 September 1173. He was present on 3 September 1189 at the coronation of King Richard I. Oxford died 26 December 1194, and was buried at Colne Priory. His third wife survived him, and later was buried by his side. Oxford was a benefactor to several religious houses, including Colne Priory, and Hatfield Regis Priory. He and his wife founded a small nunnery at Castle Hedingham in Essex. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aubrey_de_Vere,_1st_Earl_of_Oxford .....................................

| 33 | Aubrey I was married by 1086. As his spouse's name is recorded as Beatrice in 1104 and Beatrice is named as the mother of his eldest son, she was almost certainly his wife in 1086. Beatrice attended the formal ceremony for the founding of Earl's Colne Priory. Besides sons Geoffrey, Aubrey II, and William mentioned above, the couple's children included Roger and Robert. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Aubrey_de_Vere_I ----------------------------------------------------------------------- AUBREY de Vere, son of --- ([before 1040]-Colne Priory, Essex [1112], bur Colne Priory). ... m (before 1086) BEATRICE, daughter of ---. “Godefridus de Ver, Albrici senioris filius, Albrici junioris frater” donated property to Colne priory by undated charter, which names “matre sua Beatrice”[1078].

| 36 | Biography Johan Adam "Adam" Leitner was likely born before 1689. (This is a very rough estimate based on his being married when he emigrated from Holland in 1709.) Emigration On 3 July 1709, Adam Leitner, his wife Magdalena, and two children, boarded a ship in Rotterdam bound for London. They were part of a large contingent of emigrants from the Palatinate who travelled to London that summer. It has generally been assumed that the two children belonged to Adam and Magdalena, but it's possible that they were either Adam or Magdalena's younger siblings instead. [1] Cecil County, Maryland "Adam Lytner and Macklen his wife" next appeared in Cecil County, Maryland, where their daughter, Macklen, was born on 19 March 1716. [2] There are several theories for how the Leitners traveled from London to Cecil County, Maryland: • They may have arrived in New York with many other 1710 immigrants, and then made their way south to Cecil County. • They may have come directly to Cecil County in 1710. A ship full of immigrants from the Palatinate arrived unexpectedly in Chesapeake Bay that spring, and it's possible that the Leitners were aboard. Adam owned 100 acres in Bohemia Manor, which was a large tract of land in Cecil County located between Bohemia River and Back Creek on the Eastern Shore of Chesapeake Bay. His land was on the south side of Back Creek, and is now the site of the Back Creek Golf Club. When the Mason-Dixon line was set in the 1760s, this area became part of New Castle County, Delaware. No deeds have been found for Adam purchasing or selling the land, but he is mentioned in several records: • A 1723 Cecil County lease was for land "taken up by Adam Lightner and by him sold unto [Thomas] Bettel being part of Bohemia Manor. [3] • A 1722 Cecil County lease to John Noackre was for land adjacent to Adam's land. [4] A number of Cecil County residents, some of them close neighbors to Adam, moved to Leacock Township in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where they were again close neighbors. Several of those families intermarried with the Leitners: • Conrad Rutter was a witness when Samuel Bayard signed his will in Cecil County in 1717. He later owned land in Lancaster County adjoining Adam's land. Four of Conrad's grandchildren married four of Adam's grandchildren. • John Noacker leased land in Cecil County adjacent to Adam Lightner, and later owned a farm in Lancaster County several miles west of Adam. • Henry Skiles owned land in Lancaster County a mile east of Adam. • Jeremiah Everts owned land in Lancaster County a mile west of Adam. • Dietrich Elrod owned land in Lancaster County 4 miles northwest of Adam. Chester / Lancaster County, Pennsylvania By 1725, Adam and his family had moved to Chester County, Pennsylvania, where Adam appeared in the January 1724/5 tax list. [5] He also appeared in the 1725/6 and 1726/7 tax lists. In 1736, Magdalene acquired a warrant for 200 acres of land in Leacock Township, Lancaster County, from Anthony Prettor. (Lancaster County had been created from western Chester County in 1729.) She sold the land to her son Nathaniel in 1744. In order to create a clear title, Nathaniel had the patent confirmed on 13 March 1749. According to the document, the land was on a Branch of Mill Creek, formerly in Chester County, now in the County of Lancaster, And Whereas the said Anthony Pretter, by Deed Poll dated the fourth Day of March 1736, granted two hundred acres … unto Maudlin Lightner, And the said Maudlin Lightner by an Indorsement on the aforesaid Deed Poll dated the Eighteenth day of January 1744 for the Consideration of the Sum of twenty Pounds granted the said Two hundred acres unto her Son Nathaniel Lightner … [6] The land was located just north of what is now the village of Intercourse, between N. Hollander Road and N. Westview Drive, extending north from the intersection of N. Hollander Road and Diller St. The stream that runs through the property is Muddy Run, a tributary of Mill Creek, which eventually joins the Conestoga River. [7] The land survey identifies the creek as a branch of Pequea Creek, which appears to be incorrect. [8] Adam and his wife Magdalena were sponsors at the baptism of their grandson, Ignatius Leitner, who was born 7 August 1736. The baptism took place at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in New Holland, Lancaster County, not long after his birth. [9] New Holland was about 5 miles north of the Leitner farm. Adam (or sometimes Joh. Adam) continued to serve as a sponsor at baptisms in New Holland through 1743, but it is not clear whether it was this Adam or his son.

| 37 | Biography Family Alexander was the oldest son of William Comyn, earl of Buchan, and his second wife Margaret Buchan, countess of Buchan. His date of birth has been estimated as occurring circa 1214, based upon his parents' marriage "in or before" this same year. Alexander had two younger brothers: William and Fergus; and three sisters: Idonea Comyn, who married Gilbert de la Hay; Agnes Comyn, who married Philip Meldrum; and Elizabeth Comyn, who married William, earl of Mar. He also had a number of half-siblings from his father's first marriage: Richard Comyn; Walter Comyn, earl of Menteith, who married Isabella, countess of Menteith; David Comyn, lord of East Kilbride, who married Isabel de Valognes; William Comyn (a clerk); and Jean Comyn, who married William, 2nd earl of Ross. Political Alliances Alexander succeeded his mother, becoming earl of Buchan, sometime between 1242 (when he was styled "heir of Buchan") and 1244 (when he was listed in August of that year as "Earl of Buchan," one of the conservators of a truce with England). Along with his half-brother Walter, earl of Menteith, he quickly became a dominant force in Scottish politics. He became Justiciar of Scotland north of the Forth in 1252, was removed from that position in 1255 when the Comyn family fell from power, but was reinstated as Justiciar again in 1258 and held the office without interruption until his death in 1289. By 1264, he was also the sheriff of Wigtownshire and Dingwall. He held castles at Kingedward, Dundarg, Cairnbulg, Rattray, Slains, and Ellon as well as lands near Scone, and in Fife and Mortlach. With his marriage to one of the three co-heiresses of Roger de Quincy, he gained further lands in Fife, Galloway, Dumfriesshire, and Lothian, and extensive properties in England. In 1270 his wife's eldest sister Margaret, countess of Darby, resigned the hereditary office of Constable of Scotland (which had passed to her on her father's death) to Comyn. When his brother Walter died in 1258, Alexander Comyn became the de facto leader of the Comyn family and the head of its political party. He was named as a recurring witness on Alexander III's charters, and he had a military role in suppressing the threat to northern Scotland posed by Norway. Like his father he contributed financially to a number of religious institutions, thereby garnering political support from influential clergymen. He was a benefactor to Deer Abbey, Arbroath, Lindores, Inchholm, Scone, and St Andrews. And like his elder brother, the earl of Menteith, he consolidated his position even further by marrying all of his daughters to major Scottish barons: Patrick, earl of Dunbar; Malise, earl of Strathearn; Gilbert de Umfraville, earl of Angus; William Brechin; and Nichols de Soules. At the time of his death in 1289, he was the most senior of the Six Guardians who had been elected to govern the country on behalf of the absent Maid of Norway. Marriage and Children Alexander Comyn married Elizabeth (or Isabella) de Quincy, the daughter of Roger de Quincy, earl of Winchester and hereditary Constable of Scotland, and Ellen of Galloway, daughter and co-heiress of Alan, lord of Galloway. There were at least nine children from this marriage: Children: 1.) John Comyn, 3rd Earl of Buchan, b. c1259 and bef 3 Dec 1308. Married Isabella MacDuff. Alexander's successor as Earl of Buchan. 2.) Roger 3.) Lord Alexander Comyn, sheriff of Aberdeen, married Joan, sister of William le Latimer, and had issue. He d. bef 3 Dec 1308. Henry de Beaumont would claim the Earldom of Buchan through marriage to their daughter, Alice. 4.) Lord William Comyn, Provost of St. Mary's Church, St. Andrews 5.) Lady Marjorie Comyn, m. Patrick Dunbar, 8th Earl of Dunbar 6.) Lady Agnes Egidia Comyn, m. Maol Íosa III, Earl of Strathearn, aka Malise, 6th earl of Strathearn; d. aft. Aug 1320 (when she was sentenced to life in prison during the Black Parliament) 7.) Lady Elisabetha Comyn, m. Gilbert de Umfraville, 1st Earl of Angus, she d. bef. 17 Feb 1328/9. 8.) Lady Elena Comyn, m. Sir William de Brechin 9.) Lady Annora Comyn, m. Nicholas de Soules Death Alexander Comyn died shortly before 6 April 1289. At the time of his death, he was one of the wealthiest and most influential men in Scotland. | Comyn, Sir Alexander 6th Earl of Buchan, Constable and Justiciar of Scotland (I855)
