This Bible is from 1881. It was a wedding present to my great-great-grandparents in 1887. The spine was coming off and the Bible needed care and attention if it was to make it another 140 years. So I turned to Craft Bookbinding Co. They restored the Bible to its former glory. I am so pleased. I cannot recommend Craft more highly. Not cheap. But they are experts.
In a previous posting many years ago, I outlined, with sources, the descent from Edward III to Anne (Skipwith) Goforth 1642-1723. Those lines (a double descent) went through Edward's youngest son, Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester. But I was informed that there are additional lines to Edward III from two of his other sons. Those lines are presented below:
The second line is:
While working on Michael's lines this year, I was working on his Jernigan/Jarnigan line which is through his father. Thomas Jernigan is of known royal descent (Edward I of England) and his ancestry is established. But as I was looking at Michael's Lamkin line (through his mother), I noticed the third child of Thomas and Eleanor Lamkin was named Jarmingham. Source: “The Descendants of Thomas Lamkin of the Northern Neck of Virginia” by Harold E. Wilkins (Newbury Street Press, Boston, 2001), to which I contributed.
Jarmingham is close enough to Jernigan to think that Eleanor used her maiden name as a given name for a child. Thomas Jernigan (the immigrant) is the son of Thomas Jernigan and Eleanor Kemp. Wouldn't they have had a daughter Eleanor named after the wife? These two things, plus the timeline works, seems to point at the discovery of Eleanor (---) Lamkin as a sister of Thomas Jernigan. And therefore, also of royal descent.
So Michael has a Jernigan line on both sides of his family.
I've already reviewed the 20 channels to which I subscribe. I think that's a fair amount and any more would mean spending an undo amount of time on Youtube. Nonetheless, the algorithm sends channels my way that I occasionally view. I follow all these people on Instagram.
Lance The Driver. Young gay man in his 30s going back to college. Loves cars.
Steps of 2 Foreigners. Gay couple traveling the world and navigating mental health.
The Endless Adventure. Traveling couple going to RV life. They do a good job with food.
Dominick Whelton. Young gay man in West Hollywood.
Joel Wood. Young Christian gay man in London.
Travis Bryant. Young gay man in Los Angeles with bipolar disorder.
Davey Wavey. The granddaddy of gay sex channels. Education and openness.

The Travelling Gays. London gay couple who travel the world but are right now settling down for the arrival of their baby in October. They had the most spectacular wedding in Crete.

Damon Dominique. Young gay man who travels the world. He actually learns and speaks foreign languages (unlike most American travelers).
Andrew Goes Places. Young gay man now in Washington state. Travels.
Ian Paget. Young gay man, performer on Broadway.
Lost Leblanc. Traveler. Perhaps the best travel vlogs on Youtube. His cinematography is great. The trouble is he's too heterosexual and insensitive to where he travels (Uganda, UAE, Saudi Arabia).
I have studied three main families and published lengthy articles on them for five or more generations. These families are the Wallis, Pinkham and Yeaton families. I have done many more articles but those articles only cover 2-3 generations (Rider, Runnels, Clark (2 families), Barrows, Buss). In each of my longer articles I uncovered the ancestry, or the correct placement of certain people that heretofore were not placed in the family correctly. I have just posted the ancestry of these three men: William Weymouth Wallis, Abijah Pinkham, and Hopley Yeaton. I don't descend from any of these men but I do descend from their families. William Weymouth Wallis is related to me twice over since both his parents were Wallises. I descend from his mother's brother (who was his father's first cousin). Likewise I am related to Hopley Yeaton twice over (his mother was my ancestor's half sister and his father was my ancestor's nephew). Abijah Pinkham is the most remote relation being a second cousin many times removed.
I am very proud of having published these things. Previous generations and books missed them but now they have their rightful place in their families.
Here's the ancestry of Captain Hopley Yeaton, father of the U.S. Coast Guard.
see: Who Were the Parents of Hopley Yeaton, New Hampshire Genealogical Record, Vol. 20 (2003):49-56 and the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire.
This is from my article The Pinkhams of Strafford County, New Hampshire, New Hampshire Genealogical Record 23 (2006):27-76 and the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire.
The second part of my article on the descendants of George Wallis will be published shortly. In this installment, we find the correct placement of William Weymouth Wallis who went by Weymouth Wallis early in his life and Wallace towards the end. Up to now if you look at the Internet or go to the DAR website, Weymouth is given as a Scotsman and immigrant. Nothing could be further from the truth. I published on this blog, his ancestry 13 years ago. Now it will be in print. Here's an ahnentafel for his child Samuel which shows all the ancestry lost to his descendants who don't know the truth.

British traveler. Goes to very interesting and different places such as North Korea and Ethiopia. Good cinematography. When the pandemic hit however, he did not pivot to van life, but simply stopped traveling more or less. His last video is six months ago on a trip through Mexico. He is about to start traveling again through Central America.
I like his travel content. He, like Christian Leblanc, quit an ordinary office job and set out to see the world. He made his Youtube channel viable and it turns out he has an artistry with a camera.
