| 221 | William I (c. 1028 – 9 September 1087), usually known as William the Conqueror and sometimes William the Bastard, was the first Norman monarch of England, reigning from 1066 until his death in 1087. By 1060, following a long struggle to establish his throne, his hold on Normandy was secure. In 1066, following the death of Edward the Confessor, William invaded England, leading an army of Normans to victory over the Anglo-Saxon forces of Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings, and suppressed subsequent English revolts in what has become known as the Norman Conquest. The rest of his life was marked by struggles to consolidate his hold over England and his continental lands, and by difficulties with his eldest son, Robert Curthose. William was the son of the unmarried Duke Robert I of Normandy and his mistress Herleva. His illegitimate status and his youth caused some difficulties for him after he succeeded his father, as did the anarchy which plagued the first years of his rule. During his childhood and adolescence, members of the Norman aristocracy battled each other, both for control of the child duke, and for their own ends. In 1047, William was able to quash a rebellion and begin to establish his authority over the duchy, a process that was not complete until about 1060. His marriage in the 1050s to Matilda of Flanders provided him with a powerful ally in the neighbouring county of Flanders. By the time of his marriage, William was able to arrange the appointment of his supporters as bishops and abbots in the Norman church. His consolidation of power allowed him to expand his horizons, and he secured control of the neighbouring county of Maine by 1062. In the 1050s and early 1060s, William became a contender for the throne of England held by the childless Edward the Confessor, his first cousin once removed. There were other potential claimants, including the powerful English earl Harold Godwinson, whom Edward named as king on his deathbed in January 1066. Arguing that Edward had previously promised the throne to him and that Harold had sworn to support his claim, William built a large fleet and invaded England in September 1066. He decisively defeated and killed Harold at the Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066. After further military efforts, William was crowned king on Christmas Day, 1066, in London. He made arrangements for the governance of England in early 1067 before returning to Normandy. Several unsuccessful rebellions followed, but William's hold was mostly secure on England by 1075, allowing him to spend the majority of his reign in continental Europe. William's final years were marked by difficulties in his continental domains, troubles with his son, Robert, and threatened invasions of England by the Danes. In 1086, he ordered the compilation of the Domesday Book, a survey listing all the land-holdings in England along with their pre-Conquest and current holders. He died in September 1087 while leading a campaign in northern France, and was buried in Caen. His reign in England was marked by the construction of castles, settling a new Norman nobility on the land, and change in the composition of the English clergy. He did not try to integrate his various domains into one empire but continued to administer each part separately. His lands were divided after his death: Normandy went to Robert, and England went to his second surviving son, William Rufus. ... One factor in William's favour was his marriage to Matilda of Flanders, the daughter of Count Baldwin V of Flanders. The union was arranged in 1049, but Pope Leo IX forbade the marriage at the Council of Rheims in October 1049. The marriage nevertheless went ahead some time in the early 1050s, possibly unsanctioned by the pope. ... Family and children William and his wife Matilda had at least nine children. The birth order of the sons is clear, but no source gives the relative order of birth of the daughters. 1. Robert was born between 1051 and 1054, died 10 February 1134. Duke of Normandy, married Sybilla, daughter of Geoffrey, Count of Conversano. 2. Richard was born before 1056, died around 1075. 3. William was born between 1056 and 1060, died 2 August 1100. King of England, killed in the New Forest. 4. Henry was born in late 1068, died 1 December 1135. King of England, married Edith, daughter of Malcolm III of Scotland. His second wife was Adeliza of Louvain. 5. Adeliza (or Adelida, Adelaide) died before 1113, reportedly betrothed to Harold Godwinson, probably a nun of Saint Léger at Préaux. 6. Cecilia (or Cecily) was born before 1066, died 1127, Abbess of Holy Trinity, Caen. 7. Matilda was born around 1061, died perhaps about 1086. Mentioned in Domesday Book as a daughter of William. 8. Constance died 1090, married Alan IV, Duke of Brittany. 9. Adela died 1137, married Stephen, Count of Blois. 10. (Possibly) Agatha, the betrothed of Alfonso VI of León and Castile. There is no evidence of any illegitimate children born to William. Death William led an expedition against the French Vexin in July 1087. While seizing Mantes, William either fell ill or was injured by the pommel of his saddle. He was taken to the priory of Saint Gervase at Rouen, where he died on 9 September 1087. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_the_Conqueror Also substantiated by “The White Ship” by Charles Spencer, published 2020, pg 30-31. PONS (-[before Oct 1066]). No information is known about Pons other than his name, which appears in the patronymics attributed to his five sons. It is assumed that he lived in Normandy. His absence from the Norman primary sources which have so far been consulted in the preparation of this document suggests that he was of lowly birth. His absence from English records suggests that he died before the Norman invasion in England in 1066. m ---. The name of Pons´s wife is not known.

| 224 | William Thompson, #105 on George S. Stewart's Captured at Dunbar list1 Surname variations: Thompson (common in England), Thomson (common in Scotland) IMPORTANT UPDATE! (Jul 2018) According to, Christopher Gerrard, Pam Graves, Andrew Millard, Richard Annis, and Anwen Caffell, Lost Lives, New Voices: Unlocking the Stories of the Scottish Soldiers at the Battle of Dunbar 1650, (England: Oxbow Books, 2018),2 on page 252, William is categorized as: Probable [that he is a Dunbar prisoner transported on the Unity] Thompson/Thomson/Tompson/Tomson, William. Residences: Dover NH, Kittery ME. Appears: 1656. D.1676. Granted land at the same time as Scots who worked at the Great Works. However, a Thompson family was already living in the area, so he may not be a Scot. [Exiles; Banks; DR; SPOWS; Ch.7 & 8]34516 Suggested edit: "Scotch Prisoners Deported to New England by Cromwell, 1651-1652, William is listed as being from the Battle of Dunbar and working at the Great Works Saw Mill managed by Richard Leader, who fled to Barbados in 1656 after getting into a bit of trouble with ruling politics between Maine and Massachusetts. He left the SPOWs destitute and it is unclear if he set them free at that time. However, grants of land for these men began appearing in court records at that time." Contributor: Valarie Thompson Orcutt (47099294) • ================== William THOMPSON (1630c.-1676) received a grant of land in Dover, New Hampshire in 1656. This was laid out, 17 March 1558/59, "beyond Cocheco Logg Swamp." There is no evidence that William THOMPSON ever lived on this grant. On 15 October 1656, a grant made to John WHITE in 1651, was assigned to William THOMPSON. It was in Kittery, Maine, a short way below Sturgeon Creek. "Several indications suggest that he had married, about this time, the daughter of John WHITE." Sinnett, Rev. Charles N., OUR THOMPSON FAMILY in MAINE, NEW HAMPSHIRE and the WEST (Concord, N.H. 1907), p.5. --- William THOMPSON married about 1656, probably to a daughter of John WHITE. They had children: John; William; Robert; James; Alexander; and Judith. --- William Thompson was presented at York court in 1659 "for rebellion against his father and mother-in-law." He bound himself to the court in a bond of 20 pounds "that he will be of good behavior towards all men, especially towards his father and mother." (State copy of Court Records, Vol. I, page 331.) --- William THOMPSON died 1676 in Kittery, Maine. His estate ---was appraised, June 22 of that year, at 52 pounds and 18 shillings. He left twenty-three acres of land, a house and orchard in Kittery, Maine, and fifty acres in Dover, N.H., which he gave to his sons, William and Robert and to John WHITE. His wife appears to have died before 1676. In 1677 the names and ages of the children of William THOMPSON, deceased, are given as follows: John THOMPSON, aged 18; [He married Sarah WOODMAN.] William THOMPSON, aged 16; [he m. 4 Sep 1692 to Mary LOVERLING.] Robert Thompson, aged 13; "living with Toby Hanson in Dover;" James THOMPSON, aged 11; [He married 3 March 1700/1 to Elizabeth FRYE.] Alexander THOMPSON, aged 6; [He married Anna CURTIS.] Judith THOMPSON, aged 2. | Thompson, William (I297)

| 225 | ZACHARIAH FRANKLIN LIGHTNER was born 26 April 1861, was the first in his family to graduate from high school, and is mentioned in the 29 May 1879 issue of "The Womelsdorf Herald" as being assistant to the newly appointed Post Master of Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania. It was also noted in the article that "Zach F Lightner" had previously been a clerk in Augustus Bausch's store - perhaps his first job. On 10 October 1882, Frank of "Hartsville in the state of Pennsylvania" married HANNAH GERTRUDE MUIR, the daughter of Alexander Francis Muir and Mary Cope of Philadelphia. His work with the Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) Railroad meant many moves: Cuba (1885), Missouri; Carpenter (1891), Delaware; Darby (1893) and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Then as Railway Mail Supervisor, to Elizabethtown, Lancaster and Harrisburg. Frank retired to Belmar, New Jersey and then to Manoa, Pennsylvania where he died 7 November 1933. | Lightner, Zachariah Franklin (I21)
