Dear Newsgroup ~
Complete Peerage 6 (1926): 528–531 (sub Holand) has a good account of Sir Robert de Holand, 1st Lord Holand, who died in 1328. Regarding his marriage to Maud la Zouche, the following information is provided on page 530:
"He married, about 1311, certainly before August 1314, Maud, daughter and coheiress of Alan (la Zouche), Lord Zouche, with whom he acquired extensive estates, including the manor of Brackley, Northamptonshire." END OF QUOTE.
In footnote i on page 530, this couple is further discussed. The source for the August 1314 date in the main text appears to be Cal. of Patent Rolls, 1313–1317 (1898): 226, which reads as follows:
"Date: 13 July 1314. Commission of oyer and terminer to Henry Spigurnel and John de Cave, touching the persons who broke the coffers of Nicholas de Sancto Mauro [Seymout] and Elena his wife, and of Robert de Holand and Matilda his wife, at Brackele, co. Northampton, and carried away their goods and their charters, writings and other muniments." END OF QUOTE.
The above item may be viewed at the following weblink:
https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=gri.ark:/13960/t0wq2kg62&view=1up&seq=240
As we can see above, the item in question actually indicates that Robert de Holand and Maud his wife were married before 13 July 1314, not August 1314.
There is yet another contemporary record which indicates that Robert de Holand and Maud la Zouche were married before 13 May 1306. This record consists of a fine of that date whereby Maud la Zouche’s great aunt, Emeline Longespée, widow of Maurice Fitz Maurice, Knt., settled the manor of Denford (in Kintbury), Berkshire on herself for life, with remainder to Robert de Holand and Maud his wife and the heirs of Maud.
An abstract of the above mentioned fine is found on Chris Phillips' great website at the following weblink and is also copied further below:

The original fine may be viewed at the following weblink:
http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT7/CP25(1)/CP25_1_9_36-38/IMG_0065.htm
In summary, we see that Sir Robert de Holand and his wife, Maud la Zouche, were married before 13 May 1306 (date of the fine), not about 1311, as claimed by Complete Peerage.
For interest's sake, the following is a list of the numerous 17th Century New World immigrants that descend from Sir Robert de Holand, 1st Lord Holand, and his wife, Maud la Zouche.
Robert Abell, Barbara Aubrey, John Barclay, John Baynard, Dorothy Beresford, John Bevan, Essex Beville, William Bladen, Elizabeth Bosvile, Thomas Bressey, Obadiah Bruen, Stephen Bull, Charles Calvert, St. Leger Codd, Humphrey Davie, Edward Digges, Robert Drake, Rowland Ellis, Agatha, Alice, Eleanor, Jane & Martha Eltonhead, John Fenwick, Henry Fleete, Thomas Gerard, Muriel Gurdon, Mary Gye, Elizabeth & John Harleston, Warham Horsmanden, Patrick Houston, Anne Humphrey, Mary Launce, Nathaniel Littleton, Thomas Lloyd, Gabriel, Roger & Sarah Ludlow, Thomas Lunsford, Oliver Manwaring, John and Margaret Nelson, Philip & Thomas Nelson, Thomas Owsley, John Oxenbridge, Herbert Pelham, William & Elizabeth Pole, Henry & William Randolph, George Reade, Thomas Rudyard, Katherine Saint Leger, Richard Saltonstall, Mary Johanna Somerset, John Stockman, Rose Stoughton, James Taylor, Samuel & William Torrey, John & Lawrence Washington, Olive Welby, John West, Hawte Wyatt, Amy Wyllys.

descent from this couple to the immigrant Richard Saltonstall
(~1610-1694). No such descent appears to be in Richardson's RA, nor in
Genealogics, nor in several other sources I've been able to consult. Am
I missing something?

Thanks, Douglas, for posting this information about the 1306 fine.
My ancestress Katherine (Craighead) Homes and her brother Thomas Craighead (early 18th century immigrants) have the following descent:
Robert de Holand = Maud la Zouche
Thomas de Holand = Joan Plantagenet of Kent
Thomas de Holand = Alice Fitz Alan
Eleanor Holand = Roger Mortimer
Anne Mortimer = Richard of Conigsburgh
Richard Plantagenet = Cecily Neville
Edward IV = Elizabeth Woodville
Elizabeth of York = Henry VII
Margaret Tudor = James IV
James V & Euphemia Elphinstone
Robert Stewart & unknown
Christian Stewart = John Mowat (son of Andrew Mowat and Ursula Tulloch)
Jean Mowat = David Heart
John Heart = Agnes Baxter
Agnes Heart = Robert Craighead
Katherine Craighead (d. 10 Apr 1754, Chilmark, Dukes County, Massachusetts) = (26 Sep 1693, Londonderry, Ireland) William Homes
Thomas Craighead (d. Apr 1739, Newville, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania) = Margaret Wallace (daughter of Michael Wallace and Barbara Cunningham)

Dear Patrick ~
Thank you for your post. Much appreciated.
Yes, Richard Saltonstall was listed in error as a descendant of Sir Robert de Holand, 1st Lord Holand, and Maud la Zouche. Mea culpa.
I can, however, add a new immigrant Jane Greene to the list to replace Richard Saltonstall. And Jan Wolfe has added two more: Katherine (Craighead) Homes and her brother Thomas Craighead.
Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

Or was there something wrong about this line, as shown in Hansen/Thompson, _Ancestors of Charles II_? I vaguely remember someone posting about it fairly recently.

Thanks for posting this record, John. Perhaps the date (1666) of this record further refines the death date of Jean Mowat's husband David Heart. We previously had "Jean Mowat relict of umqll David Heart of Rusland" as a witness in a baptism record dated 11 August 1672 as the date before which David died. (He was living on 9 August 1654 when he wrote a letter to the Earl of Dunfermline.)

Does the date just immediately above, "sextie-thrie," indicate 1663?
It seems that this document was copied and attested three times, probably with the middle instance attested by David Heart and William Heart.

Yes, I had forgotten about this record. The date is 28 July 1663. David was presumably living on 8 March 1656, the date of this record, http://catalogue.nrscotland.gov.uk/nrsonlinecatalogue/details.aspx?reference=GD190/2/213, which refers to "George Heart, son of David Heart of Rusland."

The History and Antiquities of the County of Dorset, vol. 1,
states that William Frampton and Katherine Tregonwell had
4 daughters.
One of them was Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Turberville:

What evidence is there that Elizabeth moved across the country

Greetings,
Re. the error in Anc of Chas II. The error was the identification of the parents of Eleanor Holand (#1139). On p299, the cross refs for #2278 & #2279 should be to #534 Thomas Holand [2nd Earl of Kent] and #535 Alice Fitz Alan/Arundel).
The correction will appear in the Fall issue of TG. I never got a response from GBR, but the error also appears in RD900:107#4 in the description of Eleanor's parents, but does not affect that line of descent.

Somewhere in the MIDDLE of either the 10th or 11th generation of the Charles II ancestor table, there is a footnote to a couple, stating, concerning the wife, that "x is the MATRILINEAL ancestress of Charles II ... and of Queen Victoria."
Now, Charles II and Victoria may have the same matrilineal line for all I know, but it struck me as odd that they were claiming this for a woman who occurs in the middle of the particular generation of ancestors (obviously, the matrilineal ancestress is always the final entry in any given generation of an ancestor table).
I even tried to make their statement work by assuming the matrilineal ancestress occurred elsewhere within the list of ancestors due to cousin intermarriage and generations of variable lengths -- I could not make that solution work, either.

The person being referred to here in the Charles II ancestry is #1631, Blanca Núñez de la Cerda, who appears on page 232 of the book. She does indeed appear in the matrilineal line of both Charles II and Victoria. You can verify this through Genealogics:

For Charles II:
https://www.genealogics.org/lines.php?personID=I00000005&tree=LEO&parentset=0&showall=1&generations=4
For Victoria:
https://www.genealogics.org/lines.php?personID=I00000007&tree=LEO&parentset=0&showall=1&generations=4
What's curious to me is why the authors chose to mention the common matrilineal ancestor just at this point, since the most recent common matrilineal ancestor is Anna, Princess of Hungary who is #31.
As to why this matrilineal ancestor appears in the middle of a generation rather than at the end as you expect, that's simply due to "pedigree collapse" - i.e., the occurrence of duplicate ancestors. In the case of Charles II, the matrilineal ancestors do appear at the end of each generation through generation 8. At that point ancestors 254 Gaston IV, Count of Foix, and 255 Leonor, Queen of Navarre are referenced back to their earlier appearance at 212 and 213. From that point on, the matrilineal ancestry will appear somewhere in the middle of each generation.
So, no error to be corrected....

That might have been the way to proceed in a serial article, where conceivably one entire installment might, embarrassingly, be nothing but a meager skeleton list of duplicated names with "see" notes.
In book form, I think it would have been wise to include every duplicated name. It creates a very wrong impression to someone who is not paying attention to skipped numbers.

Repeating duplicate ancestors over multiple generations quickly becomes a massive waste of space - particularly when duplicates first appear in relatively early generations. To cite a good example, in the ancestry of Prince Charles repeats first show up in generation 6, which has only 32 people in it. By the time you get to generation 10, roughly half of the 1,024 slots in that generation are filled by repeated ancestors. Including duplicated ancestors in every generation would greatly increase the length of a printed publication - with only limited, if any, benefit. And it gets much worse the further out you go.
For Charles II, the first duplicates also occur in generation 6. I can't readily project the cascading effect of duplicate ancestors in subsequent generations for Charles II, but I imagine that it would not be significantly different than the results for Prince Charles.
Perhaps this is a matter of personal taste, but I think that most genealogists are familiar with - and comfortable with - the practice of omitting full details for duplicate ancestors after the first occurrence.

The title of the book appears to actually be "The Wills Family Tree", apparently published in 1991. According to Worldcat, only one library in the US has a copy, Rutgers University in New Jersey.

If you have copied any material from the book, perhaps you could tell us what sources it may list for the parentage of Elizabeth Olive Frampton.
The source as cited above is exactly the same as appears in a Wikitree profile for Elizabeth Olive Frampton, which appears to have been lifted from some other online genealogy - probably Geni. A subsequent contributor to Wikitree pointed (as Leslie Mahler did earlier in this thread) that Elizabeth's parents William Frampton and Katherine Tregonwell had a daughter Elizabeth, but she was married to Thomas Turberville. That contributor suggested that Elizabeth Frampton who married Daniel Wills should be disconnected from these parents. Based on the current state of the evidence, I think that's an appropriate decision.

When WorldCat only shows one copy of a book, this is a red flag. Any person, self-published, and other, can deposit a book in a library. That is not a good recommend for that work being a worth-while source. Esp. as this was published so recently as 1991.

I, too, was intrigued by the heart used in the decoration. Can anyone describe the crest by looking at the photo? (I couldn't see it clearly even when I enlarged it as much as Google allowed and snipped it.) The author states, "For the intricate outline of the crest, he [the maker of the chair] may have turned to an imported English looking glass for inspiration." The citation for footnote 2 following this statement is, I think, on page 403, which unfortunately is not part of the Google Books preview of the book.
Speaking of John Allen, there is an ongoing Allen y-DNA study that appears to have found that John Allen's grandfather Samuel Allen of Braintree (d. 1669) and George Allen of Sandwich (d. 1648, and ancestor of Barack Obama, Gerald Ford, and Winston Churchill) are of the same male line. Perhaps that will turn out to be a useful clue in finding the Allen ancestors in England. (Just thought I should mention that to bring the discussion back to the possibility of finding a late medieval or early modern connection in this discussion.)

can anyone tell the newsgroup if there is documentation for the claim
sometimes made that Churchill's mother had Native American ancestry?
If not, it would be interesting to know what other basis there may have
been for the idea originally. I gather that many American families pass
on legends of this kind - now that Elizabeth Warren has run into
politically-correct - not to say proto-racist - criticism for this, on
the grounds that a small part of her lineage is not pure enough to
justify identifying with it in case it may offend someone with more of
the blood she is proud of, I wonder if some have felt bullied into
dropping such traditions.

The furniture book mentions that the maker of the chair is unknown. It occurred to me that John and Margaret (Craighead) Allen's son-in-law Handley Chipman was a cabinet maker (as well as a judge). Handley Chipman and Jane Allen were married in 1740, more that a quarter century before John and Margaret Allen died.
Handley Chipman did not mention in his family history memoir the ancestors of Katherine Craighead except to say that they had "suffered terribly formerly under the persecution of the Papists against the Protestants" which he offers as a reason for the emigration from Ireland of the Homes family at the end of the reign of Queen Ann.

claim, but this is not what happened with Senator Warren: in her case
the criticism came mainly from some Native Americans assuming
proprietary rights over their ethnicity and barring from it anyone whose
blood was too mixed for their liking. And of course some Republican
opportunists, like the President who called her Pocohontas in a misfired
insult. Evidently he didn't have the wit to use a fictitious name like
Minnehaha, that would have been more effective for his petty purpose.

I know someone who claims Native American ancestry based on his family being from Oklahoma, and an earlier, female, ancestor in Ohio having an unknown surname. I found no evidence for either one.

According to the study, the Haplogroup of the "Allen Patrilineage 2" descendants is R-L21->DF13->ZZ10->BY12512. See http://www.johnbrobb.com/JBR-ALLEN-R.htm#George1_and_Samuel1.
Researches interested in immigrants Samuel or George Allen have typically looked in Somerset for them. I, too, had noted Handley Chipman's comment and noted that Wales and Sommerset are geographically close. For the original of Handley Chipman's memoir, see http://openarchive.acadiau.ca/cdm/compoundobject/collection/HChipman/id/5/rec/13.
Nora Ellen Groce in _Everyone Here Spoke Sign Language_ suggests that James Allen and James Skiffe of Sandwich were from Kent. See https://books.google.com/books?id=m1sAHKKKs8AC&pg=PA35. James Allen was a son of Samuel Allen and the father of the John Allen who married Margaret Homes.
Also see Groce's paper https://www.researchgate.net/publication/32899159_Everyone_Here_Spoke_Sign_Language for Groce's discussion of the attempt by Alexander Graham Bell to understand the hereditary deafness historically prevalent on Martha's Vineyard. Some of the section of Groce's book about the hereditary nature of the deafness is available in the Google preview starting here, https://books.google.com/books?id=m1sAHKKKs8AC&pg=PA21.

The link above mentions the possible connection of the early Lamberts with deaf traits. (I think, however, the known Lambert/ Lumbert/ Lombard origin is in Somerset or Dorset, per TAG articles.)
Abigail Linnell _may_, mother of Jonathan Lambert, have a Kentish connection, although she is not the daughter of Peninah House/ Howse, kinswoman of Rev. John Lathrop's wife. Peninah was her step-mother, I believe (2nd wife of Robert Linnell). The House family had Kentish ties, so perhaps the Linnell/ Linnetts did, as well.

week, and were startled to come across a display about the Rev. William
Homes, husband of Katherine Craighead. "Donegal-born Holmes settled as
the minister in Chilmark, Massachusetts. He published books and his
diary is a valuable source of local historical information. Holmes's
son Robert was a sea captain, and through him Holmes encouraged
hundreds of Ulster-Scots to emigrate to America. In 1716, Robert Holmes
married Benjamin Franklin's sister Mary."
Eli Todd Tappan was a son of Benjamin Tappan, Jr., an early US Senator
from Ohio. In his youth, Benjamin Jr. studied painting under Gilbert
Stuart, which is probably how his otherwise not-amazingly-distinguished
parents Benjamin Tappan, Sr. and Sarah Holmes (a great-granddaughter of
the Rev. William Homes) got their portraits painted by Stuart -- or,
more likely, by someone in the large Stuart workshop, working in the
highly recognizable Gilbert Stuart style.

Dear Newsgroup ~
Below is my line of own descent from Sir Robert de Holand, 1at Lord Holand, died 1328, and his wife, Maud la Zouche. My late wife Rozanne shared the same descent as I do from the New World immigrant, John Baynard, Gentleman, of Maryland. So my children and my soon to be born grandson have not one but two descents from the Holand-la Zouche couple as outlined below.
1. Sir Robert de Holand, 1st Lord Holand, died 1328, married Maud la Zouche.
2. Elizabeth de Holand, ddied 1387, married Sir Henry Fitz Roger, of Chewton, Somerset.
3.John Fitz Roger, of Cherwton, Somerset, died 1370-72, married Alice.
4. Elizabeth Fitz Roger, died 1414, married Richard Stucley, Esq., of Merston, Sussex.
5. Hugh Stucle, Esq., of Affeton (in West Wolrington), Devon, died 1457, married Katherine Affeton.
6. Nicholas Stukeley, Esq., of Affeton (in West Wolrington), Devon, died 1488, married Thomasine Cokeworthy.
7. Joan Stukeley, married Philip Baynard, Esq., of Lackham, Wiltshire, died 1522.
8. Robert Baynard, Esq., of Lackham, Wiltshire, died 1537, married Anne Blake.
9. Thomas Baynard, of Wanstrow, Somerset, died 1608, married Elizabeth Barnes.
10. Henry Baynard, Gent., of Blagdon, Somerset, died 1621, married Anne Hobbes.
11. Thomas Baynard, Gent., of Blagdon, Somerset, died 1652, married Martha Prickman.
12. Thomas Baynard, Esq., of Blagdon, Somerset, died 1691, married Mary Bennett.
13. John Baynard, Gent., of Talbot Co., Maryland, died 1704, married Elizabeth Blackwell.
Do you have a descent from Sir Robert de Holand and Maud la Zouche? If so, I'd very much appreciate seeing it here on the newsgroup.

Well, now, that's a very interesting question. Interesting, because I have never seen Richard Woodhull on a list of Gateway Ancestors. It seems likely Walter of Flanders fought with the Conqueror at Hastings, even if he isn't mentioned by any of the sources that would make him an official Companion of William the Conqueror. That seems noteworthy in itself. And Richard descends from Walter, and is the first Woodhull to come to the US. But he's never mentioned as a Gateway Ancestor. I'm not at all concerned with him being on that list (it seems like a very arbitrary list), except insofar as it would mean this line of descent is correct:

...from whence one can also see Manfredi's spoofs of several other

We have drifted well afield of the marriage date of Sir Robert de

I wanted to suggest a slightly different solution to the problem of the Cunningham family behind Rev. Thomas Craighead's wife Margaret Wallace (well, there were multiple Cunninghams behind her, but I'm interested in her mother, Barbara Cunningham's, agnate line). Jan Wolfe has her own tentative solution on her website:
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~bobwolfe/gen/person/g11467.htm
It is a pretty confusing matter to me, but I speculate that John Cunningham "of Dalkeith [also called Dankeith]" who married Janet Lockhart MAY have actually been descended from the Clonbeith Cunninghams, not the Dalkeith or Dankeith Cunninghams.
It looks like Daniel Cunningham of Dalkeith (m. Mary Wallace) and his son William Cunningham (m. Jean Cunningham), at some time, probably around 1623, SWITCHED their land holdings with a William Cunningham of Clonbeith (who had m. [1] Agnes Cunningham; m. [2] Sarah Jowssie or Josie). The full text is on this webpage:
Evidence from the National Records of Scotland
2 January 1623: Extract registered contract between Daniel Conynghame of Dankeith and William Conynghame, his eldest son and apparent heir with the consent of Mary Wallace, spouse to the said Daniel and of Jean Conynghame, spouse of the said William, on the one part and William Conynghame of Clonbeith with the consent of Sara Jowssie, his spouse and of John Conynghame, his eldest lawful son and apparent heir procreated between him and unquhile Agnes Conynghame, his first spouse and also the said Sara with consent of Sir William Nisbet of Dean, knight and John Stark of Auchinwoll, her loving friends, on the other part whereby the said first parties sell to said William Cuninghame and the heirs lawfully procreated between him and unquhile Agnes Conynghame, his first spouse, which failing to his own nearest and lawful heirs and assignees whomsoever, 44s 6d land of old extent called Dankeith and Haggis of Dankeith, 2 merk land of old extent of the Freiries of Dankeith, that 16s land of old extent of the 4lib land of Symontoun called the Craigis, the Temple lands of Hoilhous, Templehou and yard in Symontoun, all lying in the parish of Stewarton, Bailliary of Kylestewart and Sheriffdom of Ayr, for which causes the said William Cuninghame with the consent of his spouse and son, dispones to said Daniel Coninghame of Dankeith and Mary Wallace, his spouse and the longest liver of them two during all the days of their lifetime, and to William Cuninghame, their son and the heirs lawfully procreated or to be procreated between him and Jean Cunynghame, his spouse, which failing to the said William, his own nearest and lawful heirs and assignees whomsoever, in fee, the foresaid lands of Clonbeith and Darmule. Dated at Edinburgh. Recorded in the Books of Council and Session, 16th November 1630. National Records of Scotland, Papers of the Montgomerie Family, Earls of Eglinton, reference GD3/1/3/5/16
See ...
https://www.geni.com/people/John-Stark-of-Auchinvole/6000000084911671057
Notice that while nothing is said about any living children of William Cunningham and his wife Jean Cunningham, the other party, William Cunningham "OF CLONBEITH," certainly had a son John living in 1623:
"...William Conynghame of Clonbeith with the consent of Sara Jowssie, his spouse and of John Conynghame, his eldest lawful son and apparent heir procreated between him and unquhile Agnes Conynghame, his first spouse and also the said Sara [i.e., second spouse] with consent of Sir William Nisbet of Dean, knight and John Stark ..., her loving friends ..."
Then, in September 1631, John Cunningham of Dalkeith / Dankeith, in a document in the NAS catalog, seems clearly to indicate his own father William was the same one who married, second, to Sarah Jowsie:
Instrument of sasine in favour of Sir William Cunyngham of Caprintoun of the lands of Craigis in the parish of Symontoun following on a bond of warrandice by John Cunynghame, younger of Dankeith, son of William Cunynghame of Dankeithe, in respect of Sir William's cautionry in the contract of marriage between William and umquile SARAH JOSIE dated 23 July 1614.
http://catalogue.nrscotland.gov.uk/nrsonlinecatalogue/details.aspx?reference=GD149/141
So, in other words, the William who married Sarah Jowssie / Josie was not Sir William, first party named in the sasine, but the William who was John Cunningham's OWN FATHER. I speculate that after they switched lands, the OTHER William (m. Jowssie) would henceforth be known as "of Dankeith."
John, later of Dankeith/ Dalkeith, was by the first wife Agnes Cunningham, not by Sarah Jowssie, apparently.
Agnes Cunningham, John's mother, had died in 1612 at Clonbeith, according to this account:
https://books.google.com/books?id=OvEHAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA253&dq=clonbeith+%22agnes+cuninghame%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwinxrWYoYXjAhVimeAKHStaDQ0Q6AEIKDAA#v=onepage&q=clonbeith%20%22agnes%20cuninghame%22&f=false
Further down in that discussion, Daniel Cunningham is mentioned as "of Clonbeith" and incorrectly implied as child or heir of William and Agnes, but the surviving documents really show it was a switch-of-lands, not a father-to-son inheritance.
Another document, possibly from 1642 [?], mentions the William "quondam de Clonbeith (... postea de Dankeith) ..." and his second wife Sarah (Daniel Cunningham, Mary Wallace, William Cunningham, and Jean Cunningham are also mentioned):
https://books.google.com/books?id=HnAhAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA443&dq=%22sare+jossy+ejus%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj-rIerpYXjAhWwiOAKHWXjDMMQ6AEIKDAA#v=onepage&q=%22sare%20jossy%20ejus%22&f=false
Does anyone with expertise in Scottish matters know how common a land-switch would be in this period? I take it that it at least happened occasionally.
