Well, lots of it is in PA2 ---- p. 335.

"All America lies at the end of the wilderness road, and our past is not a
dead past, but still lives in us. Our forefathers had civilization inside
themselves, the wild outside.

We live in the civilization they created, but within us the wilderness still
lingers. What they dreamed, we live, and what they lived, we dream."

| Looking at Leo's interesting website, www.genealogics.org, I noticed
| that the names of the first and third wives of [Sir] Charles Somerset
| of Ross are left blank. (By his second wife, Catherine Baskerville,
| he was the father of Maria Johanna Somerset, of Maryland).
|
| A little pedigree chart in Surtees' _Durham_ (4:33) gives details on
| all three of his wives and shows his daughter "Mary-Johanna":
|
| 1. "Jane, dau. of Walter Thomas, of Swansea, co. Glamorgan, rel.[ict]
| of .... Aubrey."
|
| 2. "Catherine, dau. of Walter Baskerville, Esq.[,] widow of George
| Sawyer, Esq."
|
| 3. "Elizabeth, dau. of John Goodyere, of Burghope, co. Heref."
|
| Is all of this in PA2? (I no longer have a copy.)

Check John Steele Gordon's web site, it should be there as he is a Maria
Johanna Somerset descendant.

I have personally done research on Katherine Baskerville and am prepared
to swear that she is indeed Katherine, dtr. of Walter. Her first
marriage was to George Sawyer, but he wasn't of Canon Pyon.

I don't think Charles had issue by his first wife.

For Charles' ancestry, have you checked the Ruvigny series? I think
there is something there to use as a place to start.
