301	I8785	CAREY	SIR HENRY (Suspected son of Henry VIII)	4 Mar 1525	23 Jul 1596	0	From https://www.theanneboleynfiles.com/did-henry-viii-father-mary-careys-children/965/ Henry Fitzhugh, who is descended from Catherine Carey, was inspired by “The Other Boleyn Girl” to dig around into his family’s past to see if he really was descended from King Henry VIII. He has written an excellent article on his findings:- http://www.philippagregory.com/documents/Thehistoryofthefitzhughfamily.doc In this article, he makes the following arguments as to why he believes that the Carey children could have been fathered by Henry VIII:- · Henry Carey was said to have resembled Henry VIII. · Henry Carey claimed in 1533 that he was “Our Sovereign Lord the King’s son” · John Hale, Vicar of Isleworth, wrote in 1535 of how a monk at St Bridget’s Priory Abbey had pointed out “yongge Master Care” as being the King’s bastard son. · The fact that Anne Boleyn became Henry Carey’s ward after the death of William Carey - Philippa Gregory reasons that this may have been so that the King had a legitimate heir if she was unable to provide him with a son. · William Carey was rewarded with royal grants in 1524 and 1526, which are thought to have been the birth dates of Catherine and Henry Carey. Fitzhugh feels that the King was compensating Carey for the fact that these were not his biological children and for being a cuckold. Henry Carey · Henry VIII’s admittance of his affair with Mary Carey - Henry VIII admitted “affinity” and “consanguinity” with Mary Carey and Fitzhugh points out that this dispensation probably would not have been necessary if no children had resulted from the relationship. · Both children were born inside the dates of the affair - It is thought that Henry would have expected Mary to be his alone and not to have any lovers, not even her husband. Some people suggest that Henry Carey may have been born after the affair but Catherine was definitely born in the right timeframe. · Elizabeth I had much affection for the Carey children - Henry Carey was knighted by Elizabeth and made Baron Hunsdon. Elizabeth also visited him on his deathbed and gave him the patent and robes of the Earldom of Wiltshire. It is also said that when Elizabeth died, Henry Carey’s son, Robert, received the ring taken from the Queen’s hand. Catherine Carey had attended the Queen, was buried at Royal expense and given a prominent memorial on her death. Could all this suggest that Elizabeth recognised the Careys as more than her cousins?	tree1

He withdrew from public life in 747 to take up the monastic habit, "the first of a new type of saintly king," according to Norman Cantor, "more interested in religious devotion than royal power, who frequently appeared in the following three centuries and who was an indication of the growing impact of Christian piety on Germanic society"	tree1

She was with him on the Eighth Crusade, when he was wounded at Acre, but the popular story of her saving his life by sucking out the poison has long been discredited.

311	I8348	CHADBOURNE	William	30 Mar 1582	Aft 20 Dec 1652	0	William Chadbourne, baptized on March 30, 1582, in Tamworth, Warwickshire, England, was a pivotal figure in the early colonization of New England. He was the son of Robert and Margery or Margaret (Dooley) Chadbourne. William married Elizabeth Sparry on October 8, 1609, in Tamworth. The couple had several children, but Elizabeth's life after their marriage remains largely undocumented, including her death date and place. In 1634, William arrived in New England aboard the ship "Pied Cow" with James Wall and John Goddard. They were under a contract with Captain John Mason of London's Laconia Company to build mills in Berwick. William, a master carpenter, played a significant role in constructing the first water-powered sawmill and gristmill in New England, starting on July 22, 1634. The house William built in Berwick, Maine, is believed to be the oldest in the state, with part of its foundation under a house at the northwest corner of Brattle and Vine Streets. This property was later deeded to his son-in-law, Thomas Spencer. The Chadbournes were not religious dissenters but members of the Church of England, possibly planning to return to England after fulfilling their contract with Mason. William's involvement in the construction of the Great House at Strawbery Banke (now Portsmouth, NH) is a subject of conjecture. While some sources attribute the building to his son Humphrey, it's more likely that William, given his expertise, was responsible for its construction. William's life in New England was marked by his active participation in community affairs. He was accused, along with his sons, by Mrs. Ann (Green) Mason, widow of Captain John Mason, of embezzling her husband's estate. However, their claim was upheld by the selectmen of Kittery and the Government of the Massachusetts Bay in New England. William was also involved in the establishment of a meeting house in Kittery and was a signatory of the Kittery Act of Submission in 1652. His last known appearance in records was on November 16, 1652. William Chadbourne's children, all baptized in Tamworth, include Patience, from whom we are descended. -------- The house William built may be the one said by Stackpole in 1926 to be the oldest house in Maine. Part of its foundation is under the present house on the northwest corner of Brattle and Vine Streets on the road from the Lower Landing (Hamilton House) to the original mill site at Asbenbedick (later Great Works) Falls. William Chadbourne deeded the home to his son-in-law, Thomas Spencer, and a nice picture of it appeared in the Boston Evening Transcript of 25 Jun 1938. Other accounts suggest that the property occupied by Spencer was actually a second, later house, and that the early home stood in the northwesterly angle of the intersection of Brattle Street leading to the mouth of the Great Works River and the highway to Eliot. The Asbenbedick Great Works was the site of a mill with nineteen saws built by the Leader brothers in the 1650s. The river was called Chadbournes River by many before and after, due to the Chadbourne dam and mill erected downstream in the late 1630s. ------	tree1

313	I2587	CHAMPNEY	Richard	1604	26 Nov 1669	0	Richard and Jane (unknown maiden name) Champney married in 1629 and had 6 children together, 2 born in England and 4 in Cambridge. The growing family emigrated on the Defence in1635 and setted in Cambridge, Massachusetts Bay where he became the ruling elder of the Cambridge church. And, like almost all the first settlers, he was a farmer. Richard engaged in numerous land transactions, being granted or purchasing hundreds of acres in Cambridge and Billerica. The inventory after his death in 1669 (Jane died the same year) listed real estate in Cambridge valued at over 1200 pounds and in Billerica valued at 410 pounds, making him one of the richest men in Massachusetts Bay.We are descended from Richard and Jane on the Wright (Tucker) side.	tree1
314	I11228	CHANDLER	Roger	4 Apr 1580	Between 1658 and 3 Oct 1665	0	Birth: 1580 Colchester Essex, EnglandDeath: 1665 Duxbury Plymouth County Massachusetts, USA Roger Chandler of Colchester England, married Isabella Chilton at Leiden, Holland on 21 July 1615. Isabella Chilton was the older daughter of Mayflower passengers James and Susanna Chilton. He was taxed in Plymouth 25 March 1633, and listed as a freeman the same year. This is believed to be the earliest record of him in New England. He was enumerated among those able to bear arms in Duxbury in 1643, and sold land there in 1644. He was listed among freemen of Duxbury in a tally presumed taken in 1658. In October 1665 the Plymouth Court granted 150 acres of land to the three (unnamed) daughters of Roger Chandler deceased. At least four children of Roger and Isabella have been identified: 1. Samuel was born in Leiden before 15 Oct 1622. 2. Sarah was born in Leiden before 15 Oct 1622. She married Solomon Leonard/Leonardson about 1640 and had six children. He died in Bridgewater before 1 May 1671. She died in Bridgewater before 27 Oct 1675. 3. Martha was born probably in the late 1620s. She married John Bundy by 1649 and had six children. She died in Taunton on 1 May 1674. He died in Taunton in 1681. 4. Mary was likely born in the late 1620s. She married Edmund Bruff by 1653 and had one son. She probably is the "Mary, wife of Edmund Burfe" who died in Boston on August 15, 1658. Part of the evidence for these children is a deed from Plymouth Colony to the daughters dated October 1665 in which Roger Chandler is reported to be deceased. Roger died probably at Duxbury, between 1658 and Oct 3, 1665.

315	I55	CHARLEMAGNE		2 Apr 742	28 Jan 814	0	Charles, the King of the Franks, was the first leader since the fall of the Roman Empire to rule over a united Western Europe, branding his legend and legacy over a geography that would today cover what is now Belgium, Luxembourg, France, the Netherlands, and western Germany. Charles’ goal was to unite all the Germanic people into a single Christian kingdom. However, Charlemagne perceived a purpose to Christian living apart from its spiritual benefits; his sense of order realized that people who lived by a uniform code of behavior served the nation better. Charles the Great reconfigured the map of Western Europe with his military conquests, restored Latin as the language of the educated, and bolstered the Papacy with his armies. He married often and fathered many children, some legitimate, some not; he lived long and, during his lifetime, his Empire flourished. But his heirs could not sustain his greatness -his unification of Western Europe did not last. His legend, however, is eternal. He is such an integral figure in medieval history that, had he not been born, lived, and ruled, the destiny of Europe would have been altered. He is regarded not only as the father of Europe, because he unified the continent from the North Sea to the Mediterranean Sea for the first time since Rome fell, but also as the father of modern France and Germany.	tree1

Pierre's body was dug up by the executioner, dragged from one end of the town to the other twice, then hanged by his feet on a scaffold in front of his barn. Marie lost all her rights to the marital property and was fined an additional 20 livres for not reporting the real way Pierre had died. This was appealed by Marie's son-in-law Jean Clouet and the sentence was overturned 20 Oct 1687. Marie's confiscated property and ifnes were returned to her and Pierre's family was allowed to exhume his body once again and bury him in holy ground. He was finally laid to rest in Beauport on 25 Oct 1687.	tree1
320	I19697	CHATEL	Thomine	Abt 1600	Aft 1667	0	Thomine's first husband died shortly after they were married, when she was pregnant with her second child. S quickly remarried as was necessary and expected in those days. Her second husband abandoned her by 1638, leaving her alone to care for her young daughter and son. As she was still technically married, she was unable to remarry and in May 1642 she requested and was given permission from governemnt authorities to sell the belonging she jointly ownder with her husband, as she needed the money. She received only 12 livres, an amount that illustrates her poverty. In 1646, she was recruited by Noel Juchareau, a recruiter for New France. He had been a witness at her second marriage, so he was someone Thomine knew. On March 16, 1646 she arranged to rent her farm to Giles Chastel and did something almost no woman woudl do at that time, boarding a ship with her two teenaged children, bound for New France. It is believed that they sailed on the La Marguerite that arrived in Quebec on August 6, 1647. Her daughter Francoise married soon after arriving in Quebec, and Thomine mostly likely lived with her. In 1656, she was one of several who received the Scapular of Mont-Carmel, and she was confirmed at Notre-Dame-de-Quebec on August 10, 1659. The last record of her was living in her daughter's household during the 1667 census.

321	I9678	CHATER	Lt. John	1618	19 Sep 1671	0	Except for two or three minor court actions, little is known about Chater's life at Newbury except an unhappy phase of his matrimonial experience. Sometime in 1652 he was lying seriously ill as was also one of his servants, Daniel Gunn, a Scotchman who had been deported and sold into servitude after the battle of Worcester. Alice Chater, carrying food to Gunn, told him that, if her husband should die, he should be her husband, of which prospect the young man took immediate advantage. Eighteen months later she confessed to her invalid husband in the hearing of William and Isabel Houldred, who were visiting them. Adultery was a capital offense and Gunn and Alice Chater were soon before the magistrates and in peril of their lives. The verdict of the jury before whom they were tried in the county court-whether it was "guilty" or "not guilty" does not appear-was not satisfactory to the judges, and the case was sent to the higher court in Boston as were the prisoners. On May 14, 1654, perhaps hesitating to inflict the death penalty, the governor and council stated that they were not guilty according to law but that, because of her shameful and unchaste behavior, Alice Chater should be severely admonished and stand tied to the whipping post for one hour and then be discharged that she might return to her husband, while Gunn, after Mr. Lunerius, the physician, had restored him to health, was to be whipped.5 The unhappy young Scot did not long survive his ordeal. In the meantime Newbury gossip was busy with the name of Isabel Houldred who was nursing Chater during his wife's absence, but the magistrates decided that it was unfounded when the usual presentment was made.	tree1

336	I3458	CHURCH	Benjamin	Abt 1639	17 Jan 1718	0	Benjamin Church, a notable figure in colonial American military history, was born around 1639 in the Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts. His life story is deeply intertwined with the early history of New England and its complex colonial and indigenous relations. Church's lineage traced back to the first English settlers in North America. His father, Richard Church, was a carpenter who arrived in the Plymouth Colony from England in the 1630s. Richard played a significant role in the development of the colony. Benjamin's mother, Elizabeth Warren, was the daughter of Richard Warren, a passenger on the Mayflower and a signer of the Mayflower Compact. This foundational document was crucial for the governance of the Plymouth Colony, highlighting the historical significance of Church's maternal lineage.(we are descended directly from Richard and Elizabeth through one of their younger son's, Caleb) Growing up in the Plymouth Colony, Church was immersed in an environment that was at the forefront of early colonial and Native American interactions. His upbringing in this community, combined with his family's standing, likely influenced his later military career and his approach to relations with Native Americans. Church's understanding of Native American languages and culture, which became crucial in his military campaigns, may have been shaped by his experiences during his youth in the colony. Church is best known for his role as a military leader during King Philip's War, a conflict between English colonists and Native Americans in New England. He developed innovative tactics in ranger warfare, adapting Native American techniques, which proved effective against the traditional European military strategies of the time. His approach was characterized by small, mobile units that could move quickly and strike effectively, a method that later influenced American military tactics. Church's military career began with his commission by Governor Josiah Winslow to form a company of rangers following the outbreak of King Philip's War in 1675. His unit, comprising both Englishmen and Native Americans, was instrumental in tracking down and killing the Wampanoag sachem Metacomet (also known as King Philip), which significantly contributed to the end of the war. During the French and Indian Wars, Church engaged in asymmetric warfare against the French and their indigenous allies. He led multiple expeditions into Acadia during King William's War and Queen Anne's War, employing tactics that combined traditional European methods with indigenous techniques. These tactics emphasized small, mobile, and flexible units adept at using the landscape for cover and surprise attacks, rather than relying on large formations and frontal assaults. Church's approach to warfare was innovative for his time. He stressed the importance of thorough planning, proper training, and equipping of troops, and building alliances with potential allies, including Native Americans. His methods prioritized minimizing unnecessary damage and harm, utilizing stealth and surprise, and understanding the broader strategic objectives of each operation. After King Philip's War, Church continued to play a role in colonial military affairs, including during subsequent conflicts such as Queen Anne's War. He authored an account of his experiences in King Philip's War, providing valuable insights into the conflict and the era. In addition to his military exploits, Church also held public office, serving as the first representative of Bristol to the Plymouth Colony legislature between 1682 and 1684. respect, combined with his military prowess, earned him a significant place in the history of colonial America. He passed away on January 17, 1718, in Little Compton, Rhode Island, where he was buried. Church's legacy in military history is significant and his military career was marked by a mix of combat success and diplomatic efforts. He was known for his attempts to negotiate and his respect for his Native American adversaries, a trait not commonly found among colonial leaders of his time. This His memoirs, published posthumously as "Entertaining Passages relating to Philip's War," are considered by some as the first American military manual. His great-grandson, Dr. Benjamin Church, would later become the first "Surgeon General" of the Continental Army. Furthermore, Church's tactical innovations influenced the formation of later ranger units, such as Rogers Rangers and Gorham's Rangers. In 1992, he was inducted into the U.S. Army Ranger Hall of Fame, acknowledging his contributions to military tactics and strategy. Benjamin Church's story is a fascinating blend of early American colonial history, military innovation, and cross-cultural interactions. His ancestry, rooted in the first settlers of New England, and his upbringing in the Plymouth Colony, shaped his unique approach to military leadership and diplomacy in a period marked by significant challenges and transformations.	tree1

I-III, Boston, MA 1995, p359 John gave his birth year as about 1641 in a deposition, so many have tried to indicate he was not the son of Garreth Church. However, there is no other explanation for him and where he came from. My hypothesis is that his year of birth was ither misstated or misrecorded and was the son of Garreth so I am keeping him listed as a son of Garrett Church and his wife Sarah for now.	tree1

344	I10298	Clare	Richard	1153	28 Nov 1217	0	Richard de Clare, 3rd Earl of Hertford (but generally styled Earl of Clare),[2] had the majority of the Giffard estates from his ancestor, Rohese.[3] "The most substantial of all the additions Earl Richard made to the family estate, however, came as a result of his marriage to Amicia, second daughter and eventual sole heiress of William, earl of Gloucester. The Gloucester inheritance was a vast one, comprising over 260 knights’ fees in England and extensive lands in Wales and the Marches."[11] He and Amice, "Countess of Gloucester"[12][13] (c.1160-1220), married about 1172.[3][14] Richard and his father-in-law William were both suspected of complicity, if not direct involvement, in Earl Hugh le Bigod's rebellion in 1173-74. Clare subsequently supported the king, when the king's son, Henry, whom he had crowned during his own lifetime, rebelled against his father.[2] In 1173 Richard succeeded his father, Roger de Clare, as 3rd Earl of Hertford.[12] Earl Richard was present at the coronation of King Richard I at Westminster, 3 September 1189.[3] "At the start of the reign of King Richard I, the barony of Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire (which had escheated to the crown in 1164) was divided between him and William Marshal, later Earl of Pembroke."[2] "In 1198 he excused himself from personal attendance on the king at Hertford",[2] on 27 May 1199 was present at the coronation of King John. He was also present at the homage of King William of Scotland at Lincoln.[3] "Richard de Clare, appointed to the Twenty Five,"[11] played a leading part in the negotiations for Magna Carta. He sided with the Barons against King John, even though he had previously sworn peace with the King at Northampton, and his castle of Tonbridge was taken.[12] In 1215, his lands in counties Cambridge, Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex were granted to Robert de Betun.[3] Both he and his son, Gilbert, were among the Barons excommunicated by Pope Pope Innocent III on 16 December 1215. On returning to fealty 5 October 1217, he had restitution.[2] Shortly after Earl Richard's death in 1217, his son and heir, Gilbert, assumed the combined titles of earl of Gloucester and Hertford. Countess Amicia lived out her last years in retirement, probably at Clare.[11] She is said to have died 1 January 1224/5.[2]	tree1

349	I16281	CLARKE	William	Abt 1586	May 1647	0	William Clarke's first wife (name unknown). With her, he had three children, including Sarah, our ancestor. William remarried in 1636 to Katherine Franklin (the Widow Gedney). They emigrated to New England by 1637, accompanied by the three children of his first marriage William, Thomas and Sarah, and at least two of Katherine's children by her first marriage, Robert and Rebecca Prince. In 1645 William was an innkeeper and proprietor of "The Ship's Tavern" in Salem, Massachusetts. He was quite a wealthy man, a property owner and an officer in Salem's military company. He probably enjoyed a relatively superior social position as he is described several times as "Mr. Clarke." in the Salem Town records. William died suddenly in the summer of 1647, he could have been a victim of an "epidemical sickness" that had smitten Salem residents in June of that year. He left a large and extesnive estate including a 200-acre farm, two houses, part ownership of two ships, 1500 lbs of tobacco, 3 hogsheds of sugar, 40 lbs of ginger and other food, and all the furnishings in the tavern. His wideow Katherine received a license to continue to manage the tavern business.	tree1
350	I8832	CLEEVE	George	1586	1667	0	George Cleeve was a vintner in England . George emigrated to what is now New England in 1630, settling first in Spurwink, Maine (near today's Cape Elizabeth), and at Falmouth (today's Portland) in 1633. In 1637, Sir Ferdinando Gorges granted George and associate Richard Tucker 1,500 acres at Machegonne (Portland Neck) that included the area of today's downtown Portland. George is known as the father of Portland, and a statue is erected in modern Portland commemorating this. His career was both contentious and litigious, engaged in frequent land disputes and vying with Gorges' Province of Maine for jurisdiction over the area north of Cape Porpoise. In a letter to Governor John Winthrop from a contemporary, he was described as"a firebrand of dissension and hath set the whole Province together by the ears." He married Joan Price in England in 1618; George made several trips back and forth to England during his career and it is unknown on which trip she emigrated. Even before he left England, George was involved in a suit against his father-in-law, John Price. Not muchy is known of Joan's life but she is a docoumented "Gateway Ancestor" to royalty. The early records of Maine are filled with less than admirable descriptives of his nature. His hatred for Ferdinando Gorges, and others of the titled class, was pronounced, and he attempted every coercion possible to defame those who stood in his way, or to misrepresent his aim to others in order to pursue his own gain. That he was initially, to those who knew nothing of his character, persuasive and charming, is apparent, but it was not long before he had alienated every person of power in both Maine and Massachusetts.	tree1
