| 951 | John Cooke was born in late 1606 or early 1607, and was baptized at the French Walloon church in Leiden, Holland between January and March, 1607. John spent his early years in Leiden, Holland, and came with his father on the Mayflower in 1620 at the age of about 13 or 14. John was then raised in Plymouth; his mother and sisters came over on the ship Anne in 1623, along with his future wife Sarah Warren. He would marry Sarah, the daughter of Mayflower passenger Richard Warren, in 1634 at Plymouth. They would go on to have five daughters all born in Plymouth over the next twenty years. John would become a deacon in the Plymouth Church, and in 1636, Samuel Eaton (who was still breast-feeding when he came on the Mayflower) was apprenticed to him. At some point during the late 1640s, John Cooke "fell into the error of Anabaptistry," and was cast out of the Plymouth Church. The Church record states: "This John Cooke although a shallow man became a cause of trouble and dissension in our Church and gave just occasion of their casting him out; so that Solomon's words proved true in him that one sinner destroyeth much good." John Cooke removed from Plymouth and took up residence in Dartmouth, where he died in 1695. His wife Sarah was still alive in 1696, called "a very ancient woman"; her exact death date was not recorded but it was probably not long after. | Cooke, John (I26424)
|
| 952 | John Grundy was born in 1500 in Lancashire, England. John's children were: James Grundy (1530 - 1610) Margaret (Grundy) Parker (~1530 - 1606) John Grundy (~1540 - 1608) Alice (Grundy) Leete (~1545 - >1598). | Grundy, John (I6433)
|
| 953 | John Nerincx Buckman (1796-1845) first married Susanna Pierceall (1796-1833). They had five children, among them Clement Evermon Buckman (1821-1879) Caroline Shanks' father, Thomas Shanks and Sarah Woodward had two daughters. Caroline Ann Shanks (1812-1870) and Servilla Ann Shanks (1826-1901). Servilla Ann married Clement Evermon Buckman (1821-1879). On Susanna's death in 1796, John N. married secondly Caroline A Shanks. (1812-1870). Caroline was 16 years younger than John N. Buckman. (yes, sister to Clement Buckman's wife). They also had five children. On John N. Buckman's death in 1845, Caroline Shanks secondly married Ira Snow. They had one son. On Ira Snow's death, she thirdly married Clement Ignatius Buckman (1797-1871), son of Charles Buckman (1752-1827) and Jane Dunbar (1760-1837). They had two children themselves but Charles I. Buckman had eight children from a previous marriage with Harriet Fenwick (1809-1850). John N. Buckman and Clement I. Buckman were first cousins, both grandchildren of John Baptist Buckman (1730-1793) and Julia Ann Drinker (1732-1793). While appearing somewhat convoluted, it seems to be an efficient way of families taking care of families and that household sure ended up with a multigenerational group of children. (some 20 kids with birthdates from ranging some 40 years) | Shanks, Caroline Ann (I34472)
|
| 954 | John Osborn migrated to New England, arriving at Weymouth, Massachusetts Bay Colony by 1639. His parents and origins are unknown. He probably lived in Weymouth at least from 1639 to 1663. In the first division of land he had four acres then in the second division of December 14, 1663 he was granted an additional twelve acres. | Osborn, John Walter III (I12751)
|
| 955 | John Parkhurst (1465c) Parkhurst Manor, Guildford, married Ann Marie Baron (1472c Godalming) and they had five sons: John Parkhurst 1486c-1546c, Thomas Parkhurst 1488c, Richard Baron Parkhurst 1493 George Parkhurst 1495c-1546, Henry ‘of Shere’ Parkhurst 1495c West Clandon, Surrey, John Parkhurst died Ann Marie Parkhurst | Parkhurst, John (I46277)
|
| 956 | John's father died while he was still young and he was raised by his step-father John Bowles. When his step-father died, John received 50 pounds of tobacco from his estate. By 1753 he acquired 50 acres of "Freestone Point" and in 1757 part of "Mattingly's Hope" on the west side of St. Clements Bay. By 1762 he also had 100 acres of "Hayden's Fair" and 124 acres of "Hayden's Discovery". Both of these tracts bordered on his "Mattingly Hope" tract. He appears to have lived until his death on "Mattingly's Hope". On 4//27/1797 his sons Clement and Charles Buckman deeded "Mattingly's Hope with additions" and "Hayden's Discovery" which totaled 216 1/2 acres to Robert Saxton. (Alienations and Transfers of St. Mary's Co. p.50). NOTE: this would have been when the family moved to Kentucky. | Buckman, John Baptist Jr (I44634)
|
| 957 | Joseph Boynton was the second generation of Boyntons in North America, but the first generation born in North America. He was born in Rowley, Essex county, Massachusetts on May 13, 1644 or 1645, the oldest of seven children, with 3 brothers and 3 sisters, all of whom survived childhood and married. Apparently, Joseph was a respected civic leader in Rowley, serving as a Captain of the Military Company (militia) in Colonel Francis Wainwright's First Regiment (Red) in 1706 and 1707 of the Port Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada. | Boynton, Joseph (I23907)
|
| 958 | Joseph was a member of the Society of the Friends who resided with his family at Braintree until 1664 when they moved to Mendon, Massachusetts Bay Colony. On February 15,1681 he sold his farm in Mendon to Edward Linchford of Braintree and moved to Providence, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations by 1682. There he was chosen to be the sealer of weights and measures. | Aldrich, Joseph (I233)
|
| 959 | Katherine immigrated to Massachusetts Bay Colony with her husband, and possibly children, in 1636. They settled first in Dorchester where they had a one-acre houselot. In 1640, they moved to Mount Wollaston which later became known as Braintree. Her husband was granted a 20 acre parcel of land. Later on June 9, 1663 they sold their property in Braintree for 30 pounds of silver and moved to Mendon. There they were one of the first six settlers and were granted a forty acre lot. | Seald, Katherine (I4784)

| 963 | King John Lackland acknowledged his natural daughter Joan, so there is no question regarding paternity. Joan's mother, however, is the subject of an ongoing historical debate, which is summarized below. Joan was born at a time when both King John "Lackland" and Joan's mother were unmarried, according to letters of pope Honorius III in 1228 legitimating Joan. | Fitzjohn, Princess Of North Wales Of England Joan (I8559)

| 974 | Little is known about Alice, the wife of William Mullins. She is named only once: in the 1621 will of her husband William Mullins. It is not known if she is the mother of all his children, some of his children, or none of them. There is no evidence she had the Atwood or Poretiers surnames claimed by some 19th and early 20th century authors. Recent research into her origins, undertaken by Caleb Johnson and Simon Neal, has focused on the Browne, Dendy, Gardinar, Hammon, and Wood families of Dorking and Holy Trinity, Guildford. In 2012 (Mayflower Quarterly, 78:44-57), Caleb Johnson published a speculative hypothesis that William Mullins may have married twice, first Elizabeth Wood, and second Alice, perhaps widow of either William or Thomas Browne (possibly making Alice the mother or aunt of Mayflower passenger Peter Browne). While the speculative hypothesis matches all the known facts, it is by no means proven. No additional evidence, supporting or disproving that hypothesis, has been published since that time. | Atwood, Alice (I27629)
|
| 975 | Little is known about John Turner and his family--even the names of his two sons that came on the Mayflower remain unknown. They all died the first winter at Plymouth, likely between January and March 1621. John Turner was a merchant living in Leiden, and was granted citizenship there on 27 September 1610, making him one of the earliest members of the Pilgrim congregation to get his citizenship there. On 11 June 1620, the Pilgrims' business agent and fellow churchmember Robert Cushman wrote a letter saying "I received your letter yesterday, by John Turner ..." and later wrote "You shall hear distinctly by John Turner, who I think shall come hence on Tuesday night." This suggests Turner was traveling between England and Holland. Unfortunately there are far too many men named John Turner living in England for there to be any hope of identifying further details. John Turner had a daughter named Elizabeth who remained behind in Holland, came to New England later, and married there--perhaps in Salem. Unfortunately her identity has not been discovered, and with a common name like Elizabeth it will be extraordinarily difficult to do so with any level of certainty. | Turner, John (I9555)

| 976 | Lucy grew up in San Francisco, in the area called Pacific Heights, which is above the Marina and fairly near the Presidio. She went to school at the Burke school for girls at Sea Cliff. She liked sports a lot, and her school had a place where she could play hockey, basketball and baseball. Her life revolved around that area mostly. She had piano lessons and dance lessons. She remembers many times with the opera and Golden Gate Park, theater, and museums. She always felt there was a lot going on in San Francisco and that it was always exciting. As a young girl, Lucy rode horses with her father. They had two quarter horses and a five gaited warm blood named "Dinner Music" of which they kept at the stables in Golden Gate Park. Lucy continued to be an avid rider throughout her entire life. Don and Lucy celebrated their anniversary every year at R Lazy S ranch in the Tetons of Wyoming. Lucy and Don always said that riding horseback in each country they visited was a different way to see different aspects of the countries they visited. She vividly remembers in 1936, when the Golden Gate bridge first opened, walking across it on opening day. She wore cowboy clothes, like a 49er. She felt it was so exciting with their big fireworks, parades, and all other festivities. Don taught Lucy both snow skiing and tennis, both sports they continued to enjoy through their later years. Lucy and Don both shared a passion for history and travel. Thru the years they have traveled to over 100 countries, sometimes taking all their children and grandchildren with them. Together they have traveled to many of the countries of Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. They traveled the Silk Route, swam in the waters of the Amazon, trekked the plains of the Antarctic, viewed the Northern Lights from the Baltic and enjoyed the surf along Polynesian islands. While Lucy and Don loved to travel, they had a special connection to Yosemite. Lucy started going there as a young child and traveled there throughout her life. Yosemite was where Don and Lucy often camped during the summers with the Allens and taught their children to ski at Badger Pass with Nick Fiori in the winters and spring. They often enjoyed hikes in the area to many of the falls and in Tawalomee Meadows. The whole family even celebrated Lucy's 70th birthday at the Wawonee Lodge in 1996. | Harrison, Lucy Duncan (I6)
|
| 977 | Margaret Cecil was the daughter of Richard Cecil, esq, of Burghley by his wife Jane Heckington. Richard and Jane had one son, Queen Elizabeth's famous William Cecil Baron Burghley, and they had three daughters: Agnes (or Anne or Anneys) who married Thomas White of Wallingwells, Woodhead and Tuxford; Elizabeth who married Robert Wingfield and Hugh Allington; and this Margaret. It is not known to me the order of the daughters, nor even any good birthyears for any of the three, but she was the last married, which may indicate she was the youngest. By the date of her children's birth's, this Margaret had to have been between 1522 and 1547, and she was probably born at Bourne in Lincolnshire. | Cecil, Margaret (I38396)
|
| 978 | MARRIAGE: Hester le Mahieu, 20 July 1603 at Leiden, Holland. DEATH: 17 April 1663 at Plymouth. yDNA HAPLOGROUP: I-M223 (I-FGC57464) Francis Cooke was born about 1583. His origins have not been discovered, but it is probable he was born in England, perhaps from the Canterbury or Norwich areas. He married Hester le Mahieu on 20 July 1603 in Leiden, Holland; she was a French Walloon whose parents had initially fled to Canterbury, England; she left for Leiden sometime before 1603. Francis Cooke and Hester le Mahieu's marriage occurred in Leiden, Holland six years before the Pilgrim church made its move there, so he was living there long before their arrival and must have met up with and joined them afterwards. What brought Francis to Holland in the first place is unknown: religious persecution of Protestants in England did not really begin until after King James took power in 1604. In 1606, the Cookes left Leiden and went to Norwich, co. Norfolk, for a time (for what reason is not known), but returned to have their first son, John, baptized at the French church in Leiden, sometime between January and March, 1607. In Holland, Cooke took up the profession of wool-comber. Francis, and his oldest son John, came on the Mayflower to Plymouth in 1620. He left behind his wife Hester and his other children Jane, Jacob, Elizabeth and Hester. After the Colony was founded and better established, he sent for his wife and children, and they came to Plymouth in 1623 onboard the ship Anne. Francis lived out his life in Plymouth. Although he kept a fairly low profile, he was on a number of minor committees such as the committee to lay out the highways, and received some minor appointments by the Court to survey land. He was a juror on a number of occasions, and was on the coroner's jury that examined the body of Martha Bishop, the 4-year old daughter who was murdered by her mother Alice. He received some modest land grants at various times throughout his life. He lived to be about 80 years old, dying in 1663; his wife Hester survived him by at least three years and perhaps longer. | Cooke, Francis (I127)
|
| 979 | Mary Brewton reached 69 years of age and died in South Carolina on November 22, 1838. From Margaret Hayne's book "Items of Family History" written 1902, we find; "In 1791 William Alston married Rebecca Motte's daughter, the lovely Mary Brewton. In 1791 he bought from his mother-in-law the old Brewton home on King street that Miles Brewton had built, where Mary had spent so many happy years of her youth." "This house served as headquarters of Lord Rawdon during Revolutionary times. This historical house passed into the possession of Mrs. Alston's daughter, Mrs. William B. Pringle." "Mary Brewton, wife of Colonel William Alston, and Lucy, wife of Colonel Frank Huger, widely known as one of the liberators of Lafeyette from Olmutz Prison.” | Motte, Mary Brewton (I46071)
|
| 980 | Maurice Birdsall was born in 1826 in the State of New York. By 1860, he was living in Fenton with his wife Mary and two children. Birdsall enlisted in the Union Army on Aug. 8, 1861 as a private in Company F, 7th Regiment Infantry. The unit saw action at Ball's Bluff on Oct. 21, 1861 and Oct. 22 near Edward's Ferry. On Dec. 4, the unit was moved to Muddy Branch. Maurice was mustered out on Dec. 12, 1861 with a disability discharge. After living in Fenton, Birdsall settled in the Grayling area in 1881 to work the land. He was found dead at the age of 65 on the East Branch of the Au Sable River near his home in Maple Forest Township. Suspicious foul play is considered to have been a factor in his death. | Birdsall, Maurice (I8898)

| 981 | Maurice Edward Harrison, American lawyer Decorated Officer Legion of Honor. Member California Code Commission, 1929-1932; member United States Constitution Sesquicentennial Commission, 1935-1939; member Alien Enemy Hearing Board, 1942-1943. Regent University of California since 1944. Member Bar Association of San Francisco (president 1929-1930). (https://prabook.com/web/maurice_edward.harrison/1076494) Maurice E. Harrison, who is the oldest of the children born to his parents, attended the grade and high schools of San Francisco and received his more advanced intellectual training in the University of California at Berkeley, from which he was graduated with the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1908. He pursued the study of law in the same institution, and received the degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence in 1910. Then he became associated with his father in the practice under the firm name of Edward C. and M. E. Harrison. When the partnership was dissolved by the death of the senior member, he formed an alliance with his brother Gregory A. Harrison, as Harrison & Harrison. This was maintained until January 1, 1925, at which time he assumed a new affiliation which was known as Dunne, Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison. In 1926, the present firm of Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison was created, with offices in the Crocker building at 620 Market Street. They specialized to a great extent in corporation law, but also conducted much civil litigation. | Harrison, Maurice Edward (I33)
|
| 982 | Miles Brewton arrived in the Province of Carolina on 12 July 1684 at age nine with his parents and two sisters, possibly from Barbados. In early records he is called Michael, but the name Miles is used in later records. His occupation was goldsmith, a term that was also used for banker. In 1709 he was a captain of militia in Charles Town, and on 7 December 1717 he was named Powder Receiver for the province. He was called Colonel, perhaps in the militia. | Brewton, Colonel Miles (I354)
|
| 983 | Mormaer Domhnall of Lennox ruled Lennox in the years 1333-1365. He succeeded his father Maol Choluim II. Domhnall adhered to the cause of David II during the Second War of Scottish Independence. King David II stayed at Dumbarton on at least twelve occasions between 1341 and 1346. King David along with Malcolm Fleming and many other Scottish nobles were taken prisoner by the English at the Battle of Neville's Cross in 1346. Earl Domhnall attended the parliament at Edinburgh 26 September 1357 and with others there appointed the plenipotentiaries to negotiate the ransom of King David. The earl received a charter from King David II dated 2 May 1361 confirming an extensive grant of forestry made by Alexander III of Scotland.[1] Domhnall had one issue by an unknown wife of one daughter, Margaret who married a kinsman Baltar mac Amlaimh, more usually known as Walter of Faslane thus keeping the earldom in the same line. Domhnall died between May 1361 and November 1364 when Walter of Faslane was styled Earl of Lennox. | of Lennox, Earl Of Lennox Duncan (I42664)

| 985 | mtDNA HAPLOGROUP: H1a1 Elizabeth Tilley came on the Mayflower, at the age of about thirteen, with her parents John and Joan (Hurst) Tilley. Her parents, and her aunt and uncle Edward and Agnes Tilley, all died the first winter, leaving her orphaned in the New World. She soon married, about 1624 or 1625, to fellow Mayflower passenger John Howland, who had come as a manservant, or apprentice, to Governor John Carver who died in April 1621. John and Elizabeth Howland raised a large family with ten children, all of whom lived to adulthood and married. As a result, they likely have more descendants living today than any other Mayflower passengers. Some of their descendants include Franklin D. Roosevelt; both President Bush's; actors Alec and Stephen Baldwin, Humphrey Bogart, Christopher Lloyd; Mormon church founder Joseph Smith; poet Ralph Waldo Emerson; and Doctor Benjamin Spock. | Tilley, Elizabeth (I22639)
|
| 986 | mtDNA HAPLOGROUP: H6a1a9 Priscilla Mullins was born probably near Guildford or Dorking, co. Surrey, England, to William Mullins. She came on the Mayflower to Plymouth in 1620 with her father, brother Joseph, and mother or step-mother Alice. Her entire family, herself excepted, died the first winter. She was shortly thereafter, in 1622 or 1623, married to John Alden, the Mayflower's cooper, who had decided to remain at Plymouth rather than return to England with the ship. John and Priscilla lived in Plymouth until the late 1630s, when they moved north to found the neighboring town of Duxbury. John and Priscilla would go on to have ten or eleven children, most of whom lived to adulthood and married. They have an enormous number of descendants living today. | Mullins, Priscilla (I38201)
|
| 987 | mtDNA HAPLOGROUP: I4a The English origins of Mrs. Mary Brewster are not known. A number of theories have been proposed over the years, including maiden names such as Wentworth, Love, Wyrall, and others. However, no proof to support any of these hypotheses has been found. We know that Mary was born about 1569 because she stated she was 40 years old in an affidavit filed in Leiden, Holland on 25 June 1609. She was presumably from the vicinity of Doncaster, Yorkshire or Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, as she married William Brewster in that area about 1592 and had their first son Jonathan in Scrooby a year later. She next had a daughter Patience, born about 1600 or somewhat earlier. About 1606, the church congregation began more formally meeting at the Scrooby manor, where she and husband William resided. About this time, pressure from the English authorities was mounting, and the meetings became more and more secretive. She gave birth to another daughter at this time, which they named Fear. The couple fled just over a year later for Holland with the other members of the congregation, and in Leiden they buried an unnamed child: presumably one that had died in infancy. In 1611, she gave birth to a son they named Love, and two or three years later gave birth to their last son, whom they named Wrestling. Mary came to Plymouth on the Mayflower in 1620 with husband William, and her two youngest children Love and Wrestling. Mary was one of only five adult women to survive the first winter, and one of only four women to survive to the so-called "First Thanksgiving" in 1621. Son Jonathan Brewster joined the family in November 1621, arriving at Plymouth on the ship Fortune. Daughters Patience and Fear came on the ship Anne in 1623. Mary died in 1627 at Plymouth, having reached about the age of 60. Husband William survived her, and would live another 17 years before he died. | Wentworth, Mary Love (I7094)

| 989 | Note from Pamela Miller regarding this Ebenezer. Hi Kris, I am a related to Patrick and the source of some of his information. Ebenezer was long thought to be the son of Ebenezer Cutler and Mary Stockwell. However, I have a letter written by a grandson of Sarah Cutler Hill, daughter of Capt. Ebenezer Cutler and Anna Whitney telling that family legend was that Sarah had a brother, Ebenezer, who was a Loyalist and went to Nova Scotia. I later found Ebenezer's Loyalist claim. In it, he names his brothers, Zaccheus, Jonas and Elisha "the oldest". Then I found this baptism record: Town of Weston births deaths and marriages 1707- 1850 15 Jan 1748/9 Weston, Mass Church records, page 457. "Janry 15, 1748-9 Elisha, Jonas Anna, Mary, v.p.10 Sarah, Millecent, Ebenezer, Zaccheus, Eliakim - Children of Ebenezer & Anna Cutler." Listed with other Baptisms. More recently, Ebenezer is profiled in "Embattled Farmers" by Richard C. Wiggin. ----------------------------- From "The Loyalists of Massachusetts and The Other Side of the American Revolution" By James Star, 1910 Page 470: After a few years Ebenezer Cutler went to England on a visit and there married Mary, daughter of Colonel Hicks, of the 70th Regiment. Two Children were born in England and four in Nova Scotia. He was Protonotary of the County of Annapolis, and was a zealous Episcoalian. He died there in 1831, quite aged. Mary, his widow, died at the same place in 1839. He was proscribed and banished in 1779. August 3rd, the jedge appointed a commission to settle his estate. His first wife, Miriam, died at Northboro, Mass., and her estate was inventoried Sept. 10, 1784, amounting to 100 Pounds. He had by her eight children. Ebenezer Cutler, son of the aforesaid, was born at Oxford, Mass., August 27th, 1765. He was a student at Harvard at the commencement of hostilities, when he was obliged to leave. Opposite his name in the College archives, is the name “Traitor” which means just the opposite, that he was a Loyalist. He went to Nova Scotia with his father. He was an expert accountant, and crown land surveyor. Ebenezer Cutler, son of the aforesaid,* settled in the town of Oxford, Mass., as an inn keeper and trader. He married Miriam Eager, sister of his brother Zackeus’ wife, and daughter of James Eager of Westboro, Mass., Nov. 24, 1764. Mrs. Cutler was a sister of Colonel Eager, who was a Loyalist and settled in Victory, Nova Scotia. Before the commencement of hostilities he tried to be neutral, but when the tea troubles arose, he went quietly at night, and purchased a quantity of it, on the return with his supply a masked band interrupted him, took the tea from him and burnt it. That decided him, which side to take, and he became a staunch loyalist. | Cutler, Ebenezer UEL (I8413)

| 990 | On 10 Oct 1539 she was described as a "gentlewoman" when she was named as godmother in the baptismal record of Alice Sutton at Toft. There were in the sixteenth century and before, a number of Burgoynes living in Cambridgeshire and nearby Cambridgeshire and in some supporting evidence, the earliest known Burgoyne was Bartholomew of Boxworth, who was living in 1334. | Burgoyne, Helen (I10857)

| 991 | On January 21, 1742, Casper Walter warranted 400 acres of land in Antrim Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in the Conococheague settlement. This farm became part of Cumberland County in 1750, and the 1750 tax list for Antrim Township, Cumberland County lists Casper Walter. This farm is now located in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, near the city of Greencastle. In 1749, Casper Walter also purchased land in Augusta County, Virginia, (New Hampshire County, West Virginia), near the city of Romney, where his son Ephraim settled in 1765. On Sunday morning, July 8, 1756, the farm in Cumberland (now Franklin) County was attacked by a small band of Indians. Casper Walter, who had been sitting on the porch, reading his Bible, was instantly killed. His wife, Barbara, was tortured but survived. She later married, as her second husband, Henry Householder, of the same place. The three younger Walter children were murdered by the Indians, but the four eldest were spared and carried off by them. These children were: John, born 1743, Ephraim, born 1744, Mary, born 1745, and Rebecca Regina, born 1746 (others say 1736, which seems less likely, given the ages of her siblings, and family accounts placing her at ten years of age when carried off by Indians). | Walters, Casper Joseph (I8916)

| 993 | One thing that does stand out about this person is the middle name "Baptist". My intial reaction was that the family were somehow connected to The Separatist and/or Baptist religion which has historical importance as far as Lincolnshire is concerned but having found a website which refers to this family it appears that they were actually Catholic which whilst interesting does make tracing their lineage far more complex. It makes it far more likely that the name Baptist was in reference to the Catholic religion than the namesake one! One of the issues we face in the UK as genealogists is that whilst historically the government has issued laws to protect old parish registers for Church of England baptisms, marriages and burials many Catholic registers are still in the hands of the local churches and it is at their discretion who sees them. Some of them have been deposited for public viewing but there is no legal obligation for the church to do so. In Lincolnshire sadly only a handful of Catholic registers are in their archives and none of them cover the 17th century. From a genealogical perspective this has resulted in massive gaps when it comes to finding out who Catholic ancestors were. In addition, as John Baptist Buckman was born as far back as 1692 the chances of those baptism records having survived is minimal. The natural decay of many old registers as well as the fact that is wasn't compulsory to record vital information in the first place has resulted in so much missing genealogical information. To be honest with you I think there is very little chance of finding a baptism record for John Baptist and thus anything about his ancestry. I decided to enlarge the search to find other Buckman's in Lincolnshire at the time in hope of stumbling across something which may be linked to John. I have searched the available Anglican parish registers for the whole of Lincolnshire for the name Buckman and found that between 1622 and 1740 there is no record of any person with that surname. This strongly indicates that either the Buckman family weren't native to Lincolnshire or if they were their faith means that there are no existing records in the public domain. Perhaps if someone could pinpoint a specific town or village to him or his family rather than the country as a whole it may be possible to gain a better understanding of Catholicism in that area as well as possible reasons for him to leave. As far as possible emigration records are concerned at this time there are very rare as most were private concerns and it would be more likely for you to find something on the US side than th e English side. | Buckman, John (I24014)

Clovis H. Brakebill, compiler. 672pp. SAR. 1993 SAR Rev War Graves Register CD. Progeny Publishing Co: Buffalo, NY. 1998 The following paragraphs are from Margaret Haynes' "Items of Family History" written 1902; "Rebecca lived in the mansion built in Charleston by her uncle, Miles Brewton, and headquarters of Lord Rawdon during Revolutionary times." "Rebecca was undaunted by the presence of the British commander and his staff, she presided at the table, keeping the key of her well-filled wine cellar in the pocket with another key, more precious, that of the attic, where she guarded her three beautiful daughters, reserved for better men than the enemies of her country. Countless were the anecdotes that have been told of Mrs. Motte, but on none have been dwelt with more satisfaction than the one which manifested the care of the patriotic lady for her daughters." "It was a year or two afterwards that Mrs. Motte visited her plantation on the Congaree--"Fort Motte", where occurred the memorable incident of Mrs. Motte's heroism-- The burning of her home while surrounded by British troops. She moved in anticipation of danger to her overseer's house, and had communication with General Marion, encamped nearby, in the densest of swamps. Marion had refrained from burning the house out of respect to Mrs. Motte. She shot burning arrows from her refuge to set fire to the roof and thus removed an obstacle to the success of Marion and his brave comrades." "Rebecca was a convinced patriot and worked unceasingly for the success of the American cause. She at one time called her plantation force to Charles Town to mend the fortifications which were being erected for its defense. "I have no son to send to war," she said, "so I must do all a woman can." | Brewton, Rebecca (I430)
