Royal Line for the Sanborn Brothers

I did some poking around and I found what could be the royal line for the Sanborn brothers.  The full article on their English origins in TAG won't be published for six months, so until then:

1.  Henry III, King of England m. Eleanor of Provence

2. Edmund, Earl of Lancaster m. Blanche d'Artois

3. Henry, 2nd Earl of Lancaster m. Maud Chaworth

4. Eleanor m. John de Beaumont, 2nd Lord Beaumont

5. Henry de Beaumont, 3rd Lord Beaumont m. Margaret de Vere

6. John de Beaumont, 4th Lord Beaumont m. Katherine de Everingham

7. Elizabeth de Beaumont m. William Botreaux, 3rd Lord Botreaux

8. Margaret Botreaux m. Robert Hungerford, 2nd Lord Hungerford

9. Eleanor Hungerford m. John White

10. Robert White m. Margaret Gaynsford

11. Anne White m. Nicholas Tichborne

12. Dorothy Tichborne m. John Samborne

13. Richard Samborne m. Anne Milborne

14. Richard Samborne, Jr. m. Ann Bachiler

 

 

The Queen's Platinum Jubilee

Today 70 years ago, the Queen began her long reign.  Only Louis XIV of France has reigned longer (72 years) and he started at age 3 and didn't reign really until 18 (mommy was in charge).  I've lived through her 25th, 50th, and 60th anniversaries. 

She is an example par excellence of duty and kindness.

We are both descendants of Edward III (1327-1377) making her my 22nd cousin.  Or so.

Long live the Queen!

 

Additional Royal Lines for Anne Skipwith Goforth

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:

1. Edward III m. Philippa of Hainault
2. Lionel, Duke of Clarence m. Elizabeth de Burgh
3. Philippa, Countess of Ulster m. Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March
4. Elizabeth Mortimer m. Sir  Henry Percy "Hotspur"
5. Elizabeth Percy m. John Clifford, 7th Lord Clifford
6. Thomas Clifford, 8th Lord Clifford m. Joan Dacre
7. John Clifford, 9th Lord Clifford m. Margaret Bromflete
8. Elizabeth Clifford m. Sir Robert Aske
9. Julian Aske m. Thomas Portington
10. Henry Portington m. Maude Tyrwhit
11. John Portington m. Anne Langton
12. Thomas Portington m. Elizabeth Skipwith
13. Anne Portington m. William Skipwith, her first cousin
14. Willoughby Skipwith m. Honora Saunders
15. Anne Skipwith m. William Goforth

The second line is:

1. Edward III m. Philippa of Hainault
2. John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster m. Catherine de Roet
3. Joan Beaufort m. Robert Ferrers, 2nd Lord Ferrers
4. Elizabeth Ferrers, Lady Wem m. John Greystoke, Lord Greystoke
5. Anne Greystoke m. Sir Ralph Bigod
6. Elizabeth Bigod m. Sir John Aske
7. Sir Robert Aske m. Elizabeth Clifford, see #8 above.

 

Was Eleanor, the wife of Thomas Lamkin, a Jernigan?

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.

 

Thomas Jernigan c. 1617-1682 of Nansemond County, Virginia

1. Thomas Jernigan born ca. 1617 and died by 10 November 1682 at Nansemond County, Virginia was the son of Thomas and Elinor (---) Jernigan of Bishops Stortford, England.  His wife's name is unknown.  He had at least three sons: Thomas, John and Henry.  Thomas has a valid royal line to Edward I.
2. John Jernigan born ca. 1650, married Temperance Moore.  He had at least one son: Thomas.
3. Thomas Jernigan born ca. 1690 married Elizabeth (---).  He had at least one son: John.
4. John Jarnigan born ca. 1720 married Mary Bynum, born ca. 1724, daughter of John and Mary (Evans) Bynum.  They had at least one son: Thomas.
5. Thomas Jarnigan born 25 November 1746 at Pittsylvania, Virginia and died 26 February 1802 at Jefferson County, Tennessee.  He married Mary Lavinia Witt, born 4 April 1753 at Halifax, Virginia and died 7 August 1830 at Jefferson County, Tennessee, daughter of Charles and Lavinia (Harbour) Witt.  They had at least one son: Chesley.
6. Chesley Jarnagin was born 20 November 1772 and died 17 April 1826 at Jefferson County, Tennessee.  He married there 14 March 1793, Martha Barton, born 16 February 1774 at Pittsylvania, Virginia and died 5  August 1843 at Jefferson County, daughter of Isaac and Keziah (Murphy) Barton.  Chesley had eleven children: Spencer, Sarah, Mary, Ann, Thomas Barton, Bynum, Lavinia Lea, William Calvin, Hampton Lea, Elizabeth and Susan.
7. Lavinia Lea Jarnagin was born 7 June 1808 at Jefferson County, Tennessee and died 24 March 1880 at Neosho, Missouri.  She married at Jefferson County on 27 June 1826, William Isaac Irvine Morrow, born 25 November 1802 at Jefferson County and died 4 March 1875 at Neosho, Missouri.  Lavinia and William had eleven children: Mary Jarnagin, David Chesley, William Lindsey, Sarah Rebecca, George Doherty, James Martin, Barton Jarnagin, Spencer Jarnagin, Ephraim Foster, Martha Priscilla, and Anna Lavinia.

Isabella d'Angouleme 1188-1246

Isabella is well known as the second wife of King John of England and the mother of his heir Henry III.  But Isabella remarried after John's death to Hugh X de Lusignan, Count of La Marche and had more children.  Here are two descents from children of the second marriage of Isabella d'Angouleme.

3. Sir William de Warenne m. Joan de Vere

14. Elizabeth Clifford m. Sir Ralph Bowes
15. Margery Bowes m. Sir Ralph Eure
16. Anne Eure

There are many descents from couple #5 that can be traced.  This is but one.

 

Scottish Kings to Anne Eure

The most obvious king of Scotland behind Anne Eure or Edward III is Malcolm III King of Scotland 1058-1093.  His daughter Mathilda married Henry I of England.  But there are other lines from the Scottish Kings that are not so obvious.

1. Alexander II King of Scotland 1214-1249 m. Isabell Countess of Atholl
2. Marjory m. Sir Alan Durward, Earl of Atholl
3. Anne Durward m. Sir William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby
4. Sir William de Ferrers, 1st Lord Ferrers m. Margaret de Segrave
5. Anne Ferrers m. Sir Edward le Despencer
6. Edward le Despencer, 4th Lord Despencer m. Elizabeth de Burghersh
7. Anne le Despencer m. Sir Hugh Hastings
8. Sir Edward Hastings, 8th Lord Hastings m. Muriel de Dinham
9. John Hastings, 9th Lord Hastings m. Anne Morley
10. Hugh Hastings, 10th Lord Hastings m. Anne Gascoigne
11. Muriel Hastings m. Sir Ralph Eure
12. William Eure, 1st Lord Eure m. Elizabeth Willoughby
13. Sir Ralph Eure m. Margery Bowes
14. Anne Eure

 

1. William "the Lion" King of Scotland (father of Alexander II) with Isabel Avenal
2. Ada m. Patrick, Earl of Dunbar
3. Patrick, 6th Earl of Dunbar m. Euphemia de Brus
4. Isabel of Dunbar  m. Roger Fitz John, 4th Lord Warkworth

6. Eupheme Fitzroger m. Ranulph de Neville, 1st Lord Neville of Raby
7. Ralph de Neville, 2nd Lord Neville m. Alice  de Audley
8. Margaret de Neville m. Henry de Percy Earl of Northumberland
9. Henry Percy "Hotspur" m. Elizabeth Mortimer
10. Elizabeth Percy m. John Clifford, 7th Lord Clifford
11. Thomas Clifford, 8th Lord Clifford, m. Joan Dacre
12. John Clifford, 9th Lord Clifford m. Margaret Bromflete
13. Henry Clifford, 10th Lord Clifford m. Anne Saint John
14. Elizabeth Clifford m. Sir Ralph Bowes
15. Margery Bowes m. Sir Ralph Eure
16. Anne Eure

These are but two lines.  There are myriad more.

 

 

Isaac II Angelos, Istanbul and me

As I mentioned in another post, anyone descended from Edward III of England is also a descendant of the Byzantine emperor Isaac II Angelos who lived 1156-1204.  In fact there are a myriad of descents from him to people who descend from Anne Eure:

Issac II Angelos, Emperor of Byzantium m. Irene

Irene Angelica m. Philip II, Emperor of Germany

Maria m. Henry II, Duke of Brabant

Matilda of Brabant                                  Henry III, Duke of Brabant

m. Robert I, Prince of France         m. Alix of Burgundy

 

Blanche of Artois m. 1^st                             Marie of Brabant m.

Henry King of Navarre                        Philip III of France

 

Joan of Navarre m.                                    Marguerite of France m.

Philip IV of France                                    Edward I of England

 

Isabelle of France m.                                 Thomas, Earl of Norfolk m.

Edward II of England                                Alice de Hales

 

Edward III of England                        Margaret of Norfolk

 

By her second marriage:

Blanche of Artois m. Edmund, Earl of Lancaster

Henry, 2^nd Earl of Lancaster m. Maud de Chaworth

I descend from four of their daughters: Maud, Joan, Eleanor, and Mary.

So that's a total of seven lines (two from Edward III, one from Margaret of Norfolk, and 4 from Henry, 2nd Earl of Lancaster).

 

So  when I visited Istanbul in 2014 and stepped into the Haggi Sophia, it was first time in 800 years my particular bloodline was there.  Of course, Isaac II worshiped there all the time.  Also he was Eastern  Orthodox and his daughter immediately upon marriage became Catholic as were all my ancestors up to the 1500s when they all became protestant.  Then I converted back to Eastern Orthodox as an adult.  So I have both a historical and theological tie to Isaac II  Angelos.
