| 22 | Sir John Morden was born in 1623. In 1662 he married Susan, or Susanna, the daughter of Joseph Brand of Suffolk. Morden was a prosperous merchant, a member and director of the Turkey or Levant Company and also of the East India Company. He was also briefly a Member of Parliament, and was appointed one of the Commission for a Survey of the King's Manor of Greenwich to define the boundaries and encroachments of the manor. Sir John and Lady Susan had no children, and towards the end of his life he devoted almost all of his fortune to the foundation and endowment of Morden College [Blackheath?]. It was set up for the relief in old age of 40 decayed merchants, and was intended as an almshouse for traders and merchants engaged in similar entreprises to his own, who had become destitute through no fault of their own. There is a story, persistent but probably untrue, that his desire to found the college came about because three ships of his own were lost at sea and only returned after a long period when all hope for them had been abandoned. He himself had therefore experienced the poverty that such 'Perrills of the Seas' could bring about. The foundation of the College cost £10,000, and he settled £1,000 per annum on it. Building began around 1695 and was completed in 1702, but the first pensioners had already been admitted on 24 June 1700, 14 to start with. Sir John died on 6 September 1708 aged 86 and was buried in the College chapel. Lady Susan Morden, was born in 1638 and died on 26 June 1721 aged 83. As a trustee and the sole executrix of his will, she had to direct the charity after her husband's death. Sir John had ensured that the offices of Chaplain and Treasurer for the foundation should be filled by members of his or his wife's family then and in the future. Failing this, the duty fell to the Turkey Company and after this the East India Company. | Morden, Sir John (I173270)

| 26 | ......................CONTINUED FROM HANAH'S NOTES: All went to work again to prepare for another year's crops, when on May 1 we received orders from the Pennamites to leave the place. They had a treaty with the Indians, and had hired them to come and plunder and drive off the settlers. Many of the settlers not wishing to engage in any more warfare, prepared to move, some going to Connecticut, others went up the river about thirty miles to a place called Bowman's Creek. We started the 18th for that place. The first day we went ten miles. There were sixty or seventy in the company, and each one that was able carried a pack or bundle. The heavy articles were carried in canoes. At night they would unload and camp until daylight. The second morning we saw a boat returning, and mother got a passage for my youngest sister, Sally, in a canoe, and left Anna and myself to make our way the best we could with the others. We kept in their company until we came to Uncle Daniel Gore's on Bowman's flats. We had driven down some stakes and peeled bark, and wove in and made a small room. Mother returned in a few days. At that time father was at the assembly in New Jersey and did not return until June. After making their families as comfortable as they could, the men went back to defend their rights. They had a battle and a number were killed on both sides. They proposed coming together the next day. All laid down arms, and as soon as the attention of our men was drawn towards the speaker their commander gave 'Order Arms' and they secured the guns of our men and took most of them prisoners. My brother was one of them, and was kept in jail until there was a settlement with the colonies. Colonel Swift tried to fire the fort in their possession one dark night. He was discovered and was wounded by a shot from the fort. His men carried him away and concealed him until he could be carred farther. They brought him to our house, where he remained three weeks. He left as soon as he was able, for the enemy were on the lookout for him. He started in the morning for Owego. That night there came a company and surrounded our house; two or three came in so still that none awoke until they lit a candle, when the light awoke father. They asked for Swift. Father told them he left here in the morning, and he thought him out of their reach for that time. They searched until they were satisfied, then lay down upon our floor (which was composed of solid earth) until morning. Our house was in part, the one I spoke of, my uncle's building of stakes and barks. After father returned he added another room of bushes and there we lived until November. Then father and mother went down the river to get the rest of their goods, and left my three sisters and myself alone. The second day we saw a boat coming up the river: we heard their voices, we watched it and it did not pass, nor could we see anyone. Being accustomed to the fear of men, we put out the light, covered the fire and sat out doors most of the night. We were not disturbed and we learned afterwards that they had been stealing plums, as there was a large plum orchard near. In November, father, with two other families, moved about forty miles up the river. The season had been very dry and warm amd the river low. Our goods were carried in canoes with hands to row them. The rest travelled on foot along the bank of the river. The boats often got stuck, and we had ropes fastened to them to pull them along. All took hold to help, and some of them were in the water most of the time while assisting in towing the boats. My uncle had the fever and ague and every other day he rode on horseback. His fits came on in the afternoon, and Wealthy and myself took turns going ahead to wait on him while his fits were on. We would go as far as we thought the company would go that day, then make what preparations we could for their coming. One night the boats did not come. The boys got there with the cows. I carried a drinking cup and we all had our supper and breakfast from the cup. I had the saddle for a pillow and the boys found their beds as best they could. The rest of the company came up about ten o'clock. They had had more than usual trouble with the boats. After taking a rest we all moved on. We settled near the mouth of the Chemung river, on Queen Esther's flats: remained there one year, then moved ten miles down the river upon the opposite side in the town of Sheshequin. There my parents spent the remainder of their days, and there Grandmother died in 1801, aged 83 years. At the age of 19, October 19, 1788, I was married to Elisha Durkee and moved to Scipio, Cayuga county, New York, in company with William Patrick and family. One company had gone before us. They followed the old Sullivan road to the head of Seneca lake. There they fixed up some boats left by the army and went down the lake, and from Seneca river up the outlet of Cayuga lake. Our boat was leaky and we had to unload and caulk it often and dry our clothes. We had but little, and it took but little time to unload. We would go ashore and camp at night. When we arrived at our destined place, Mr. Durkee drove down two stakes in front of a large log, put up some poles, covered the top with bark and set up branches at the end. There we spent the summer of 1789. In the fall we built a log house on the east shore of Cayuga lake, about half way between Aurora and where Savannah now stands. All the boards used were split and hewed. In December I gave birth to a daughter (Betsey Durkee Sweetland). She was the first white child born in the town of Scipio. We lived there two years, during which time it had become settled all along the shore for miles. Captain Franklin, who married Mrs. Lester, moved here and settled on a farm where Aurora now stands, with money to pay for it when it came for sale: but not being able to see his neighbors starve around him, he had lent his money to buy provisions with, so he could not pay for the whole. He agreed with a man to deed the whole and lease him half. The man had a friend who was willing to join him in robbing Franklin of it all. That was too much for him: he became deranged and shot himself. It was a heavy blow to the whole settlement, for he had been a father to all. We lived on the Indian reserve and got title of them in 1791. Governor Clinton sent orders to drive off the inhabitants and burn their buildings and fences, and we were again compelled to be homeless. Our house was burned as well as those of all others. I had two children at that time. I remained there and cooked by the fire of our house one week, then started on horseback with my children for Sheshequin. Mr. Durkee built a rail pen, chinked it with buckwheat straw, and remained there throughout the winter to care for his cattle. In the spring he moved to the old Watkins farm at Scipioville and lived there one year. Then he bought a farm of 200 acres at Gilberry Tracy at $1.25 an acre, one mile west and one mile south of what is called Scipio Center. Elisha Durkee's mother's maiden name was Molly Benjamin. Her father was sent to England as a representative of the Connecticut colonies, was taken sick and died there. His grandmother's maiden name was Molton. She was a Scotch woman and noted doctress." | Family F43964

| 34 | Although the older Peerage writers believed that Sir John was the son of William Livingston, it is more likely that he was a younger brother. He succeeded to the family estates before his second marriage in 1381. He was knighted between 1381 and February 13, 1390. In January 1399, the Duke of Rothesay was appointed King’s Lieutenant for a period of three years. Sir John was appointed one of the Duke’s Council. He was one of the feudal barons whose support to the Crown was secured by the payment of annuities out of the Royal Exchequer. In July 1402, he audited the accounts of the customars and bailies and of the account of Robert, Duke of Albany. He was killed at the battle of Homildon Hill in September 14, 1402. | Livingstone, John of Callendar (I77197)

| 45 | Blenheim Water is part of a centuries old tradition which began in the twelfth century when Henry II built a pleasure pool for his mistress, Rosamund Clifford, at what is now Blenheim Palace. The pool was fed by an ancient spring which, legend maintains, has never dried. Rosamund's well can be seen to this day and the water has been highly valued ever since. When demand for Blenheim Water outstripped supply in recent years, a further source was found in the Park and a bottling plant was established. It is from here that this prestigious and delicious drink now springs, and provides income for their Grace, the Dukes of Marlborough. | Spencer-Churchill, Lt.-Col.

| 46 | Bobby Spencer, as he was known familiarly, entered the House of Commons in 1880 as Liberal member for North Northamptonshire. No less a person than Gladstone described his maiden speech as "highly effective". In July 1887 he married Margaret Baring, daughter of the first Lord Revelstoke. This shy woman, who disliked parties and was totally free from snobbery, might seem an odd wife for the one-time socialite Bobby Spencer who, if Frederick Ponsonby spoke the truth, "should not have been but distinctly was a snob". The marriage, however, was a happy one. He shared her love of music and enjoyed playing her accompaniments while she in turn took the deepest interest in his parliamentary career. When on 4 July 1906 his wife died, all the warmth and happiness of family life died with her. Her sister Susan, who had married the royal physician, Sir James Reid, did what she could for her desolate nephews and nieces; but she saw too little of them to be of real help, although when their father inherited the title in 1910 and moved into Althorp, there were great Christmas gatherings of Spencers and Reids. Shattered by the loss of his wife, the once lighthearted Bobby Spencer froze into a remote and chilly character, who did his duty by his children but failed to develop any warm or loving relationship with them. For the rest of his life he wore tokens of mourning and wrote on black-edged paper. He never spoke of his wife. Little Margaret, who had been named after her dead mother, knew nothing about her and never heard her name mentioned. Although he regained his seat in 1900 and for a while served as Junior Whip, Spencer made little impact on political life, being known to fame chiefly as the best-dressed man in the House of Commons. The only offices he held were ones which, though in origin political, were in practice concerned with duties about the Court.In 1886 he had been made groom-in-waiting, in 1895 Vice-Chamberlain, and finally in 1905 Lord Chamberlain of the Household. Since this last post was always held by a peer, he was now created Viscount Althorp. His father had filled the same position; but what had been for Frederick Spencer a pleasant retiring post after a lifetime spent in the Navy, was for the son the peak of a career which in the course of the years had come to centre not on Parliament and politics but on the Court and the Royal Family. The position of Lord Chamberlain suited Spencer admirably. Like his royal master, Edward VII, he was an expert on dress and etiquette, on uniforms and medals; and he shared Edward's mania for punctuality. He frequently accompanied the king when travelling abroad, and in consequence, amassed a remarkable collection of foreign Orders. Staying with Queen Alexandra's Danish relations, he found the food just as dull and the entertainment just as tedious as his half-brother had done some forty years previously. After Edward VII's death, Spencer remained on as Lord Chamberlain to George V but, in 1911, resigned because of ill-health and retired to Althorp. In the summer of 1912 he entertained King George and Queen Mary who had come to attend army manoeuvres, which that year centred on Northampton.When war broke out in August 1914, he was of course too old for active service; but he wore the uniform of Honorary Colonel of a battalion of the Northamptonshire Regiment, and interested himself in the doings of the troops who camped in the park and used it as a training ground. His two sons were both in the fighting services. When the war ended, Lord Spencer settled down once more to the comparatively uneventful life of a country magnate. His health, however, was not good and he died suddenly. | Spencer, Earl Charles Robert 6th Earl Spencer (I7367)

| 47 | Born at Rome, c. 1216; elected at Viterbo, 25 November, 1277; died at Soriano, near Viterbo, 22 August, 1280. His father, Matteo Rosso, was of the illustrious Roman family of the Orsini, while his mother, Perna Gaetana, belonged to the noble house of the Gaetani. As senator Matteo Rosso had defended Rome against Frederick II and saved it to the papacy. He was a friend of St. Francis of Assisi and belonged to his third order, facts not without influence on the son, for both as cardinal and pope the latter was ever kindly disposed towards the Franciscans. We have no knowledge of his education and early life. Innocent IV, grateful for the services rendered to the Holy See by his father, created the young Orsini (28 May, 1244) cardinal-deacon with the title of St. Nicholas in Carcere Tulliano, and gave him benefices at York, Laon, and Soissons. Probably at an earlier date the administration of the Roman churches of San Lorenzo in Damaso and of San Crisogono had been entrusted to him. One of five cardinals, he accompanied Innocent IV in his flight from Cività Vecchia to Genoa and thence to Lyons (29 June, 1244). In 1252 he was dispatched on an unsuccessful mission of peace to the warring Guelphs and Ghibellines of Florence. In 1258 Louis IX paid an eloquent tribute to his independence and impartiality by suggesting his selection as equally acceptable to England and to France for the solemn ratification of the peace concluded between the two countries. His integrity was likewise above reproach, for he never accepted gifts for his services. So great was his influence in the Sacred College that the election of Urban IV (1261) was mainly due to his intervention. Urban named him general inquisitor (1262) and protector of the Franciscans (1263). Under Clement IV (1265-68) he was a member of the delegation of four cardinals who invested Charles of Anjou with the Kingdom of Naples (28 June, 1265). Later he played a prominent part at the elections of Gregory X, who received the tiara at his hands, and of John XXI, whose counsellor he became and who named him archpriest of St. Peter's. After a vacancy of six months he succeeded John as Nicholas III. True to his origin he endeavoured to free Rome from all foreign influence. His policy aimed not only at the exclusion of the ever-troublesome imperial authority, but also sought to check the growing influence of Charles of Anjou in central Italy. At his request Rudolf of Habsburg renounced (1278) all rights to the possession of the Romagna, a renunciation subsequently approved by the imperial princes. Nicholas took possession of the province through his nephew, Latino, whom he had shortly before (12 March, 1278) raised to the cardinalate. He created Berthold, another nephew, Count of the Romagna, and on other occasions remembered his relatives in the distribution of honourable and lucrative places. He compelled Charles of Anjou in 1278 to resign the regency of Tuscany and the dignity of Roman Senator. To insure the freedom of papal elections, he ordained in a constitution of 18 July, 1278, that thenceforward the senatorial power and all municipal offices were to be reserved to Roman citizens to the exclusion of emperor, king, or other potentate. In furtherance of more harmonious relations with the Byzantine court, the pope also aimed at restricting the power of the King of Naples in the East. To his efforts was due the agreement concluded in 1280 between Rudolf of Habsburg and Charles of Anjou, by which the latter accepted Provence and Forcalquier as imperial fiefs and secured the betrothal of his grandson to Clementia, one of Rudolf's daughters. The much-discussed plan of a new division of the empire into four parts is not sufficiently attested to be attributed with certainty to Nicholas. In this partition Germany, as hereditary monarchy, was to fall to Rudolf, the Kingdom of Arles was to devolve on his son-in-law, Charles Martel of Anjou, while the Kingdoms of Lombardy and Tuscany were to be founded in Italy and bestowed on relatives of the pope. Nicholas's efforts for the promotion of peace between France and Castile remained fruitless. Unable to carry out his desire of personally appearing in Hungary, where internal dissensions and the devastations of the Cumani endangered the very existence of Christianity, he named, in the fall of 1278, Bishop Philip of Fermo his legate to that country. A synod, held at Buda in 1279 under the presidency of the papal envoy, could not complete its deliberations owing to the violent interference of the people. King Ladislaus IV, instigator of the trouble, was threatened in a papal letter with spiritual and temporal penalties if he failed to reform his ways. The king temporarily heeded this solemn admonition, and at a later date suppressed the raids of the Cumani. The appointments of worthy incumbents to the Archbishoprics of Gran and Kalocsa-Bacs made under this pontificate further helped to strengthen the cause of Christianity. The task of Nicholas III in his dealings with the Eastern Church was the practical realization of the union accepted by the Greeks at the Second Council of Lyons (1274), for political reasons rather than out of dogmatic persuasion. The instructions to the legates whom he sent to Constantinople contained, among other conditions, the renewal by the emperor of the oath sworn to by his representatives at Lyons. The maintenance of the Greek Rite was granted only in so far as papal authority did not consider it opposed to unity of faith; those of the clergy opposed to reunion were required to obtain absolution of the incurred censures from the Roman envoys. These were more rigorous conditions than had been imposed by his predecessors, but the failure of the negotiations for reunion can hardly be attributed to them, for the Greek nation was strongly opposed to submission to Rome and the emperor pursued temporal advantages under cover of desire for ecclesiastical harmony. At the request of Abaga, Khan of the Tatars, the pope sent him in 1278 five Franciscan missionaries who were to preach the Gospel first in Persia and then in China. They encountered considerable obstacles in the former country and it was not until the pontificate of Nicholas IV that their preaching produced appreciable results. The realization of the pope's desire for the organization of a Crusade was frustrated by the distracted state of European politics. On 14 August, 1279, he issued the constitution "Exiit qui seminat", which is still fundamental for the interpretation of the Rule of St. Francis and in which he approved the stricter observance of poverty (see FRANCIS, RULE OF SAINT). While the Vatican had been occupied from time to time by some of his predecessors, Nicholas III established there the papal residence, remodelled and enlarged the palace, and secured in its neighbourhood landed property, subsequently transformed into the Vatican gardens. He lies buried in the Chapel of St. Nicholas, built by him in St. Peter's. He was an ecclesiastically-minded pontiff of great diplomatic ability and, if we except his acts of nepotism, of unblemished character. | Church, Pope Nicolas III of the Roman Catholic (I193913)

| 48 | Bran, King of Siluria, and commander of the British Fleet. In the year anno domini 36 he resigned the crown to his son Caradoc and became Arch-Druid of the college of Siluria, where he remained some years until called upon to be a hostage for his son. During his seven years in Rome he became the first "Royal" convert to Christianity, and was baptized by the Apostle Paul, as was his son Caradoc and the latter's two sons, Cyllinus and Cynon. Henceforth he is known as Bran the Blessed Sovereign. He was the first to bring the faith of Christ to the Cymry. His recorded proverb is: "There is no good apart from God". He also introduced the use of vellum in to Britain. The Silurians were a powerful and warlike tribe in ancient Britain, occupying approximately the counties of Monmouth, Brecon and Glamorgan. They made a fierce resistance to the Roman conquest about a.d.48...their town Venta Silurum (Caerwent, 6 miles West of Chepstow) became romanized. Its massive Roman walls survive,and excavations have revealed a town hall and market square, a temple, baths, amphitheatre, etc. | Siluria, Bran Fendigaid 'Le Béni' of (I172289)

| 50 | Camille Armand Jules Marie, Prince of Polignac, was born on February 16, 1832, in Millemont, Seine-at-Oise, France. Born into a distinguished French family, he served with honor in the French army during the Crimean War. Resigning his commission in 1859, he came to Central American to explore and study the plant life there. When the Civil War began, he offered his services to the Confederacy, and was appointed Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard's chief of staff, with the rank of lieutenant colonel of infantry. He fought at Shiloh and Corinth, and was later promoted to brigadier general. Polignac's greatest contribution to the Confederate effort was his victory in the Red River Campaign in the spring of 1864. On June 13, 1864, he was promoted to major general. Polignac went to France in March of 1865 to ask Emperor Napoleon III for aid for the Confederacy. Before he got very far in negotiations, he learned of General Lee's surrender, and decided to retire to his estate in France. There, he wrote articles about the Civil War, and outlived all other Confederate major generals. Polignac died in Paris, on November 15, 1913, and was buried in Germany. | Polignac, Camille Armand Julien Marie de (I198991)
