1511	8th Lord of Knockin Le Strange The Le Strange family was created as the Baron Strange de Knokyn or Baron Strange of Knokyn in 1299. Interestingly the baronies of Strange were created by writ, which means that they can pass through both male and female lines. He married into the Woodville family who had a time of influence when his wife Jacquetta's sister, Elizabeth married King Edward IV. They were married in secret which led to great national difficulties when Edward died at a young age, and his son Edward V was a child. The Woodvilles were greatly enriched by this alliance, but their advancement incurred the hostility of Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, 'The Kingmaker', and his various alliances with the most senior figures in the increasingly divided royal family. This hostility turned into open discord between King Edward and Warwick, leading to the Wars of the Roses, between the Houses of Lancaster and York, leading to the rise of the Tudor dynasty. What had been an important alliance though marriage was now leading to a tricky political situation. His mother-in-law and sister-in law were accused of witchcraft, his wife's nephew, Edward V, along with his brother Richard, Duke of York were the Princes in the Tower who mysteriously disappeared [were presumed murdered], allowing Richard, the brother to Edward IV to take the crown, as Richard II. His brother-in-law Anthony was arrested and later executed, and his wife's family had few friends. This struggle between the House of York and the House of Lancaster became known as the War of the Roses. The House of York was in power, but Richard II was not a popular king. John allied himself with Lady Margaret Stanley, born Lady Beaufort, and espoused the cause of Margaret's son Henry Tudor, a great-great-great-grandson of King Edward III. Henry Tudor won the crown at the Battle of Bosworth Field, and become Henry VII of England and married Elizabeth of York, John's niece, the start of the Tudor Dynasty. John was the uncle by marriage to the Queen of England, and his daughter, who inherited the Le Strange title in the absence of a male heir, married into the Stanley family, an alliance made during the War of the Roses, who were stepbrothers to the future King of England, Henry VII. While much is not known directly about his life and participation in the War of the Roses, we can safely say he had friends in high places.

1520	A History Of Farmington Maine 1776-1885, Francis Gould Butler, New England History Press, 1983, Pages 371-372 Eliphalet BAILEY, son of Timothy Bailey, was a resident of Dunstable, Mass., in the last century. He was born about the year 1758. He shared the patriotic sentiments which animated all the citizens of that ancient town during the Revolutionary struggle.. We find his name on the roll of Capt. Oliver Cummings' company, raised for defense in March 1776. He also served on the "guards" at Cambridge, and received by a vote the parish five pounds a month for his service. In company with John F. Woods, Lemuel Perham, and his brother, Oliver Bailey, he came to the Sandy River township in April, 1788, and took up a part of back lot No. 26, east side, in the locality popularly known as Bailey hill. In the long and perilous journey, Mr. and Mrs. Bailey had the grief of burying a little child by the way. On the farm he took up, he passed the remainder of his life, and died in May, 1836. Mr. Bailey was a deacon in the Baptist Church and a pillar in that communion so long as he lived, giving his last labors to its up building.. He married in Dunstable, Rebecca, daughter of Lemuel Perham, she died in 1806, and he married (2) Nov. 3, 1806, Mary Smith. Eight children by first marriage.	Bailey, Eliphalet (I13137)

1527	A Journey Through Time: The Dean Family From Sixteenth Century England to Modern Day Dorchester County Maryland By Milton W. Dean, Jr. Elizabeth Dampier was a cousin of Dampier the famous navigator who was born in East Oker, Near Yeovil, Somerset in 1652. The family originally hailed from the Dampierre in Normandy.

1528	A Journey Through Time: The Dean Family From Sixteenth Century England to Modern Day Dorchester County Maryland By Milton W. Dean, Jr. William Gilbert Deane lived in Dorset, England, and was a noted shipbuilder and shipmaster, and it is with him that we will begin our journey across time. He was married to Alice Talbot, and their son, William Henry Deane followed in his father's footsteps and became a noted shipbuilder and shipmaster also. There is still is an estate called "Dene's Hill" just outside Horwood (which is a suburb of Dorchester). Actually, DENE is the correct spelling of the Dean name, but it was corrupted by prefixes to Norman names by the Anglo-Saxons, and then by deletion of these same prefixes by predecessors of the Norman-Angloes. The name actually went through the following changes: DENE, ADENE, ADENNE, ADEANE, DEANE, and finally DEAN.	Deane, William Gilbert (I36469)
1529	A Journey Through Time: The Dean Family From Sixteenth Century England to Modern Day Dorchester County Maryland By Milton W. Dean, Jr. William Henry never actually settled in Maryland. He was a well known shipsmaster and shipbuilder. He commanded a privateer, 'The Betty', which was his own ship. He investigated the possibility of building ships somewhere on the Chesapeake Bay where timber was cheap, but the cost of transporting metals and ship's fittings, together with a scarcity of skilled craftsmen caused him to discard the idea. He also investigated the possibility of establishing trading posts at settlements on both sides of the bay with Indian tribes, but after several voyages to and from England, he decided that the risks involved were too great for the profits derived. He was at St. Mary's off and on for several years and then at Fox Creek in Dorchester Co. for a short time but returned to Dorset, England. His wife Elizabeth never came to America. He and his wife are buried near Dorchester, Dorset, England.	Deane, William Henry (I36467)

Hezekiah signed several of the petitions circulated in the 1790's supporting the formation of Tazwell County from Russell and Wythe Counties. From this time on he was mentioned repeatedly in the court records of Tazewell County. He was appointed the first surveyer of Tazewell County in 1800, having served as deputy surveyor of Wythe County for several months. His first assignment was to survey the land given by William Peery and Samuel Ferguson for the county seat for which he was allowed $5.25 compensation. In 1800, Governor James Monroe appointed Hezekiah a Justice of the County Court. He sat on the bench until 1830, part of that time as Presiding Justice. He was appointed lieutenant, captain, major, and colonel of the 112th Regiment of the Militia of Virginia and served until March 1830, when he became sheriff of Tazewell Co. His will, dated Jan 25 1845, mentions ten children. Hezekiah was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1815. He conveyed to the trustees of the church (of which he was one) "one acre around Bethel meeting housing on the head of Clinch (river)." Hezekiah was a slave holder as evidenced by his will. He stated that his slaves were to be liberated upon his wife's death if the law would permit their freedom. If not, the slaves were to choose any one of his children to be their guardians.
