| 1072 | Searches of the local paper sees her mentioned regularly in the society pages. Notably, in 1912 as hostess of the Berkeley Charity Society, and again in 1913 as co-hostess for children benefits.

| 1073 | Shanks' wife Abigail is shown by a patent book to be a servant transported in 1650 to Maryland by Robert Brooke, Esq. Another patent book provides the names of Brooke's servants brought by him in 1650, and the only maid servant named Abigail is "Abagail Mountague". Also bolstering this statement is the fact that John Shanks in his 1683 will named an Indian servant boy living in his house that he called "James Monticue." Robert Brooke, Esq. (1602-1655), had ties to Hampshire, Sussex, and London. There was an Abigail Montague christened in London in 1639 who left neither a marriage or death record there. That might be a place to check for the origin of John Shanks' wife. | Mountague, Abigail (I8750)

| 1077 | Sir Alexander Napier, second of of that name of Merchistoun, administrator and diplomat; was the eldest son of Alexander Napier, 1st of Merchistoun, Provost of Edinburgh in 1438. The Crown confirmed a feu charter at Edinburgh on 15th May 1459 to James Douglas, Earl of Mortoun, Lord Dalkeith, and Jonete his spouse, of the lands of Easter Balbartanis and Wester Balbartanis, with the mill etc., at Kinghorn in Fife, which Alexander Napier of Merchistoun personally resigned. In 1439 Napier was wounded when he tried to help Joan Beaufort (d.1445), widow of King James I, when she was imprisoned by Alexander Livingston of Callendar, Guardian of James II. As a reward, on 7 March 1449/50, after the fall of the Livingstons, James II rewarded Napier with the lands of Philde, Perthshire, forfeited by Livingston's son and on 24 September 1449 he was appointed Comptroller of the Royal Household. He was one of the Ambassadors sent to England in 1451 when he took the opportunity of going on a pilgrimage to the shrine of St. Thomas á Becket at Canterbury. He held the office of Provost of Edinburgh between 1453-5 and 1457. He was knighted in 1460/1, possibly at James III's coronation. In a safe-conduct for him as one of the Ambassadors to the court of England dated 24th September 1461 he is designated a Vice-Admiral of Scotland. He had another Safe-Conduct in 1464. On 1468 he was sent to Denmark, with the Lord Chancellor, to negotiate the marriage between King James III and the Danish King's daughter, Princess Margaret. He was employed on several other public occasions, and in his later years held the off ice of Master of the Household to King James III. In 1470 he is again recorded as Provost of Edinburgh. | Napier, 2nd Lord Provost of Merchiston Alexander (I19642)

| 1078 | Sir John Skene, Lord Curriehill was a Scottish prosecutor, ambassador, and judge. He was regent in St Mary's College, St Andrews from 1564-5 and became an advocate in 1575. He was joint Lord Advocate from 1589 to 1594, and served as the Scottish ambassador to Holland from 1591. He was appointed Lord Clerk Register and Lord of Session, with the judicial title of Lord Curriehill in 1594, serving until 1611. | Skene, Lord Of Curriehill John (I46300)

| 1079 | Sir Ralph Lane (c. 1532 - October 1603) was an English explorer of the E l izabethan era. He helped colonise the Kingdom of Ireland in 1583 and w a s sheriff of County Kerry, Ireland, from 1583 to 1585. He was part of t h e unsuccessful attempt in 1585 to colonise Roanoke Island, North Carol i na . He was knighted by the Queen in 1593. Lane is best remembered for his attempt to establish a settlement on Ro a noke Island at the request of Sir Walter Raleigh. Queen Elizabeth was l o o k i n g for places to colonise and the Americas appeared ripe for Englis h e x p a n sion. The voyage began on 9 April 1585. The fleet comprised the T i g e r ( G renville's), the Roebuck, the Red Lion, the Elizabeth, and the D o r o t h y. The voyage on the Tiger proved difficult, as Lane quarrelled wi t h t h e a g gressive leadership of Grenville, whom he found a person of "i n t o l e rable pride and insatiable ambition". Unfortunately, during a seve r e s t o r m off the coast of Portugal, the Tiger was separated from the re s t o f t h e f leet. The Tiger arrived on 11 May to Baye's Muskito (Guayan i l la , P u erto Rico). While waiting for the other ships, Grenville establ i s h e d r elations with the Spanish (whilst at the same time participating i n p r i v a teering against their ships) and also built a small fortress. Th e E l i z a beth arrived shortly after construction of the fortress. Despite trouble with the natives (because of the attitudes of the Engli s h ) a n d t he shortage of food, Lane and 107 other settlers were left on R o a n o k e Island, Virginia, on 17 August 1585 to establish a colony on its n o r t h e n d. They built a small fort, probably similar to the one at Guaya n i l l a B ay, but Lane and Grenville fell out with each other, a foretaste o f t h e t r o ubles that dogged the colony until the end. Almost immediately , G r e n v ille and his crew set sail for England, promising to return in A pr i l 1 5 8 6 with more men and fresh supplies. April 1586 passed with no news of Grenville. In June, Sir Francis Drake a r r i v e d at Roanoke and offered Lane and his men a return voyage to Engla n d , w h i ch Lane readily accepted because of a weakened food supply and i n c r e a sed tensions with local tribes. Drake's fleet reached Portsmouth o n 2 8 J u l y , at which the settlers of Roanoke introduced snuff, corn, and p o t a t o es to England. The Account of Ralph Lane first appeared in Richar d H a k l u yt's Principall Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques and Discoveries o f t h e E n g lish Nation in 1589. Lane later participated in other expeditions. In January 1592 he was ap p o i n t ed muster-master general of Ireland and was knighted the following y e a r b y S i r William FitzWilliam, the Lord Deputy of Ireland. | Lane, Governor Of Roanoke Ralph (I25729)

| 1081 | Some family histories show his middle name as NERINCKX. Tradition stated that it was after the priest in the area, BUT Father NERINCKX did not arrive in the rolling fork area until 1805. The Rolling fork church was started on 15 Nov 1804 and renamed the Holy Mary Church. At the time of his father's death in 1814, John Nerinckx Buckman chose as his guardian Cornelius Pierceall. John married Susanna Pierceall on 1/28/1816 presided over by Rev. Charles Nerinckx at Holy Mary Church, Calvary Kentucky. In the 1820's John and his family, moved with his brothers to Union County, Kentucky. On 9/12/1834 John acquired 750 acres on the Ohio River (deed B2:75).

| 1082 | Source: A 1932 family history recorded in vol. 9, page 53 of the Records of the Families of California Pioneers in the California State archives. Benjamin Franklin Campbell is the source for this report. John O. Campbell started west with his family in the 1840's. Starting from Pennsylvania, he went to Missouri, where his family joined a wagon train led by David Burris to Calif. thru Salt Lake City in 1856. Leaving from Council Bluffs, Iowa with their five children. The family started out with a fine outfit, oxen, cattle, a carriage, horses. By the time they reached the last high mountains they had lost their treasures one by one. They finally arrived in Placerville with nothing but one old cow which had but one eye the other had been shot out by an Indian arrow. From Placerville the family came to Petaluma, or as it was spelled at the time Patoloma. The family settled in Petaluma. | Campbell, John Oliver (I308)

| 1087 | Stephen Bovyer, Senior, was a Huguenot. His family were in France in the years 1598 to 1785 where their name had the French spelling of Boyer. A complete story is printed in "An Island Refuge" Loyalists and Disbanded Troops on the Island of Saint John written by Doris Haslan and Edited by Orlo Jones. Pages 41 thru 45. Stephen is referred to as Reverend Stephen Bovyer. In the War of Independence in America, the sympathies of Stephen Bovyer and those of his wife and family remained with the British. Near the close of the Revolutionary War, Stephen Bovyer Sr. owned property near the entrance to Boston Harbor. He was ordered to use his oxen to haul cannon near the shore and to open fire on a ship of the Royal Navy, H.M.S. Renown, which entered Boston Harbor in 1775 or 1776, he stoutly refused to do so. Some years later during his short stay in Stanhope, he became very friendly with the Reverend Theophilus DesBrisay, the first Anglican clergyman on the Island, and told him this story. On comparing dates, Mr. DesBrisay found he was serving as a naval chaplain on board the Renown on that occasion - an early example of the small world we live in. | Bovyer, Stephen (I8638)

| 1092 | The correct territorial designation is John Napier of Rusky & Merchistoun. That said, normally only the principal estate would suffice so probably Merchistoun was worth more at the Exchequer than Rusky, given its location, so really just John Napier of Merchistoun would be correct.

| 1094 | The Fenstermacher family with which we are most familiar, and whose representatives are quite numerous in this and nearby counties, has its origin in Mathias Fenstermacher, a native of the German Palatinate, who crossed the sea on the good ship "Glasgow" which landed at Philadelphia, on 9 September 1738. On the original list of passengers his age is given as sixty years, and he was therefore born about 1678. He was accompanied to America by his two sons, Jacob, then twenty-nine years of age, and Wilhelm, twenty-five years of age. These three were preceded to the new world by a third son, Philip, who was removed to Alburtis and there carried on a general store business until he died in 1809. Altogether he followed the life of an enterprising, successful merchant for upwards of forty years. a passenger on the good ship, Samuel, and qualified at Philadelphia, 30 August 1737. He was then twenty-four years of age." "There is a tradition that the family first settled in Oley township, Berks County. The first positive record we have, however, is in the Berks County tax list of 1753, where Longswamp Township is given as the residence of the father and of his two sons, Jacob and Philip. Concerning the other son, Wilhelm, who accompanied his father to the new world, nothing further is known at this time. The name of Mathias Fenstermacher appears in the early tax lists as late as 1761, at which time he probably died, being then eighty-three years old."

| 1095 | The following paragraphs are from Margaret Haynes' "Items of Family History" written 1902; Jacob's father sent to Dublin in 1709 for his wife, nine year old son Jacob and his two small daughters Sarah and Anna. Jacob never forgot that voyage from Cork to Charles Town. It lasted five weeks, which was excellent time for those days when passengers often tossed for two, even three months on a stormy ocean and were reduced to a fare of moldy biscuits, salt beef and stale water. In 1713 he was bound as an apprentice to Francis Le Brasseur "for the term of seven years which he faithfully served out. He then entered into partnership in a iron monger's shop with his uncle Charles Hill until the year 1725, when he married. In 1743 Jacob Motte was appointed Public Treasurer of the Carolinas, a post he held for almost three decades. | Motte, Jacob (I12518)

| 1096 | The following paragraphs are from Margaret Haynes' "Items of Family History" written 1902; The Marquis' son, John Abram, who bore the angelized name of Motte, was Dutch Consul at Dublin for a while, later chose to become a British subject. He was an adventurous person and soon sailed away to Antiqua in the West Indies, hoping to bring over his family later when he as established. Not progressing as he wished in Antiqua, he agree, in true pioneer spirit, to go on to Carolina Province in 1704 and take up settlement for a very wealthy investor by the name of John Perrie, to remain there for ten years as manager of this estate and as compensation to receive half of the annual profits. Motte arrived on a vessel bearing the cheerful name of "Success": and secured the plantation "Youghal" in Christ Church Parish, as well as another estate of eight hundred acres near the site of Georgetown. John Abram Motte sent to Dublin in 1709 for his wife, nine year old son Jacob and his two small daughters Sarah and Anna.
