Tryphosa Lee was born in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, in about 1597.
She married Stephen Tracy, also from Great Yarmouth, in Leyden
on 2 January 1620/21 and their first daughter, Sarah, was born
there in 1622. They were among the Dissenters who camped in Holland
while arrangements were made to go to America, and Stephen sailed
without Tryphosa (who was pregnant again) on the "Anne," arriving
at Plymouth in 1623. Tryphosa followed with the rest of the family
on the "Jacob" in 1625. It is not clear whether Sarah went with
her father on the "Anne" or later with her mother on the "Jacob."
I believe Sarah, who married George Partridge and is the ancestor
of many Americans today, can trace her ancestry,k through her
mother Tryphosa, to at least two of the villains of Runnymeade.
Neither Tryphosa, nor Stephen (who although he returned to England
was a very active colonist), nor Sarah, nor her husband George
Partridge, is mentioned in the list of "Colonists whose ancestry
is discussed" in the new edition of Weis et al., Magna Carta Sureties
although most of the first ten generations or so of the following
tables are in the book.

Firstly, I offer for criticism a descent from Robert Fitzwalter
of Woodham, the chief traitor:

Interesting. This descent isnt found in Gary Boyd Roberts _Royal Descents of
500 Immigrants".
(http://www.aracnet.com/~gwyddon/RD500.htm)

Is this a well documented line, with evidence for each generation,
or is it just a line pedigree found in an old book, without any
documentation??

So far as published works available to me are concerned, the parentage and
ancestry of Tryphosa (Lee) Tracy are unknown. Nothing appears in the
discussions in
Jacobus's Waterman Family, vol. 1, Jacobus's Ackley-Bosworth Acestry, or in
Wakefield's discussions in TAG vol. 51 (1975).

Hence I too would like to know the evidence for Tryphosa's parentage before we
take the discussion further!

Does it have to be all one or all the other? The farther back you go,
the more likely it is that it is just a line pedigree found in an old
book called Weis, Magna Carta Sureties (5th Ed. 1999). The later
ancestry of Anne Hungerford was originally based on an ahnentafel
I found at genserv.com and of which I was very suspicious because
of problems in the de Fiennes part of it (not relevant here), but
I think the Shelley connection was "blessed" in this NG a while back.
I think the key issue is the immediate parentage of Tryphosa Lee.
What is shown about that here is widely accepted by dummies like
me and published in many websites. See

Yes they (and I) can all be wrong, based on some common erroneous
source recklessly propagated. But the wide acceptance of the
parentage makes it worthy of investigation rather than of summary
dismissal. And it is a very important issue, because Anne Hungerford
may prove to be a gateway to English and Spanish royalty.

There is also a question regarding Tryphosa Lee on the newsgroup
soc.genealogy.britain posted 2001-09-07 regarding a possible link to U. S.
Grant.

The source shown as connecting Tryphosa Lee to Anne Hungerford is stated to
be "Aelteste Genealogie der Familie Bischoff" in Basel. It supposedly
reports (according to the newsgroup posting)
"Husband: Joos Lee, born 1570 "of Leiden, South Holland, Holland." He
married, about 1590, in England, to Anne Hungerford. Joos died 8 Jul 1671 at
Leiden, South Holland, Holland. Anne was born at Farleigh Hungerford. Their
child: Tryphosa Lee born 1596-1599 in Leiden. She married 2 Jan 1619/20 in
Leiden to Stephen Tracy. She died 1655 at Plymouth, MA."

Maybe this is something that can be verified. Maybe it is just junk.

I have subscribed to this newsgroup for about 3 months now. I am a fledgling
amateur family historian. Although I have learned a lot from this group, I
don't pretend to even know enough to be dangerous.

I think however that if there is truth to this, it would be a wonderful find.
My only link back to royalty so far is through a "daughter" Alice Freeman
Thompson Parke. If Tryphosa's line turns out to be genuine it would give me
a possible line to Magna Carta, again through a daughter.

Ladies and gentlemen of this learned group, here's hoping that Tryphosa
piques your interest.

Ive looked at most of the sites you listed.

Unfortunately, they cant agree as to where Tryphosa was born, in either
Great Yarmouth, England, or Leiden in the Netherlands.

The baptismal registers for Yarmouth begin in 1558, and they've been put into
the IGI. That source shows no extracted [ie, original] baptism for
Tryphosa there. Theres a chance that a gap exists in the register, but more
likely, she wasnt baptized there [I looked at it once years ago, and it seemed
to be complete].

Some of the sources you listed show Joos Lee living up to about 100 years old
in the Netherlands. Its unfortunate that no one provides any documentation.

The point I was trying to make, without the rudeness displayed by [censored],
is that the parentage of Tryphosa (Lee) Tracy remains unknown, as appears in
_The Great Migration Begins_ 3:1830-32. I made an effort to test the
Hungerford hypothesis on behalf of a client and it did not work out; there is
evidence against it. When you have yourself studied a matter it is not
"pompous" to express an opinion based upon that study.

Sam, laying aside the oxymoron in your protest, <censored> is "allowed"

nobody is set up with power to filter out (suppress) "objectionable" posts.
Would you have it otherwise? I've seen remarks by others here that might

Well said, but it would have been better said in the earlier post. That is,
what you now say about your previous test of the "Hungerford hypothesis"
is far less abrupt, and far more reasonable, than what you said earlier.
I still would say that "remains unknown" implies "not disproven," wherefore
every new piece of evidence turned up should call for a fresh look. And
apparently the Basel document has not yet been looked at. Is it just another
unsupported family chart, or does it offer any fresh sources? The fat lady
hasn't sung yet.
However, I must give credit to Thia Montgomery for the URL she cited. Among
the things to be found there is a potential DISproof of the "Hungerford
hypothesis." It appears that when Bridget Lee, probably a sister of Tryphosa,
married Samuel Fuller, her witnesses were "Josephine Lee (mother)" and
"Samuel Lee (brother)." If Bridget Lee was Tryphosa's sister and Bridget's
mother's name was Josephine (which it was, if the document proves up), then
the probability is that Tryhosa's mother's name was not Anne. I still
hope to see more about that Basel document, but would say at this point that
rehabilitation of the "Hungerford hypothesis" will require a satisfactory
explanation of the purported record of Bridget's marriage.

This fellow was, by his own account, a charter member of the so-called
"Free Speech Movement" [FSM] at the University of California, Berkeley,

For those who have not heard of these idiocies, this involved parading
around Berkeley with large signs bearing the words _F--K_, _C--T_, and
so forth. They thought this was great fun and attracted the media, of
course. It led these pogues to think they were famous, or what-not ----
15 minutes of fame.

Sloan now proves, indubitably, that he is NOT in favour of Free Speech,
if HIS ox is being gored.

Sloan is only in favour of Free Speech for those who AGREE with him and
buy into his rampant lunacies ---- not the others.

He came here to flack his tawdry little self-published book, was
repeatedly exposed as a fraud and a charlatan ---- and now he's angry.

Henry does not claim your posts are off-topic he STATES they are. So has
Todd and a number of other people. What is it that makes you think Jefferson
was medieval.? What have you contributed to the discussion of medieval
topics? Wake up Sam! The operative word here is MEDIEVAL.

Hi David:

At this web page are various source documents from Leiden:

http://www.leidenarchief.nl/

By hitting the link for Pilgrims, then search for "Lee", one finds 22
source docs for the Lees.

I have not been through these for awhile, so will not back through the
22 again here today; but will report that the marriages for both
Stephen Tracy to Tryphosa Lee and for Samuel Fuller to Bridget Lee
(his third marriage) are found here.

Bridget Lee's marriage was witnessed by mother Josephine Lee - which
may have been the source of confusion for the name of a "Joos" Lee -
although it is odd that this name of "Joos" given to a father by some,
rather than a mother.

___________

Marriage record:


"1032 / B 64 / 27-5-1617 Marriage certificate

Parties: Samuel Fuller, widower of Ann Carpenter, sayworker,
England; Bridget Lee, spinster, England;

Marriage certificate Samuel Fuller and Bridget Lee, 1617

Witnesses: Samuel Lee, fut. brother-in-law, Josephine Lee, her
mother. "

_____________


At any rate, Bridget and Tryphosa Lee were apparently contemporaries,
living in Leiden at the same time, and lived in America in approximte
proximity (Plymouth vs Duxbury). There was a brother of Bridget named
Samuel Lee who is probably the Samuel Lee mentioned in several more
Leiden documents well past the time that Tracy and Fuller went to
America. I don't know if following up with this brother would lead
anywhere or not.

There are several Lee names that "pop up" in these records - it would
sure be interesting if someone could tie them together: Jane Lee,
Martha Lee, etc.

For example, a Rose Jennings witnessed the will of Stephen Tracy to
Tryposa Lee in 1621; while a Jane Lee witnessed the marriage of John
Jennings to Sarah Carey in 1614.

I understand there is presently a Leiden project underway - a
genealogical dictionary of Leiden in the 1600's tieing all of these
names together would sure be interesting.

At any rate, I have found nothing to support this "Joos Lee / Mary
Hungerford" pair, who they were, any document showing their names, or
any document tieing them to a wife of Stephen Tracy.

They ARE off-topic - look at the charter. While you are there,
find the place where it tells you its OK to cross-post to a chess
group. (Didn't find it? That should tell you something.)

There are two types of posts here. Those about medieval
genealogy, and those that are off-topic.

No need to do that.

Don't Return ---- just cuddle up somewhere with those who are as
ignorant as yourself.

That way your coveted Self Esteem won't suffer ---- and you can lick

The Basel Document appears to be a genealogical chart of the Bischoff
(Bishop) family which is in the Library at the University at Basel,
Switzerland. I e-mailed and received a response back from the library that
the document is there but based on the dates it isn't likely that there is
anything on Tryphosa in it as I was assured that there was nothing in the
17th century at all.

The Lee part of Tryphosa appears also to be conjecture as the photocopy of
the marriage document that can be found on the web shows only Le ---- looks
like Le or maybe it is Li but it doesn't appear to be clearly Lee.

It looks like somebody put two and two together and came up with what had to
be the last name because it would fit with the others in the group. There is
a Lisle in the same group who was known as Lee so it is possible that
Tryphosa's name is Lisle, or anything else for that matter.

If Josephine Lee were Tryphosa's mother, why wasn't she the witness for the
bride as she was for her other daughter Bridget? Quite possibly, she is
Bridget's mother as it states on that marriage document and neither she nor
Bridget are any relation to Tryphosa.

Since some of this group are known to have come from the Ancient Church, it
is also possible that they were not part of the Brewster contingent at all.

There doesn't appear to be any credible evidence to support who Tryphosa's
parents are.

Possibly there will be some clues in colonial New England. Or Tryphosa may
remain a mystery.

Regards to all,

Thia
