| 3151 | From Find-A-Grave: Riley Frost Petree was a deeply religious man, and his son placed the family bible in his coffin to be buried with him. (losing some valuable dates). Family sources state that Riley fought for the Union during the Civil War, however there is a R. F. Petree listed in the Confederate States Home Guard. He could have served on both sides. It is believed that Riley disagreed with his father on taking sides during the Civil War. His father disinherited Riley from his will, giving him only the sum of 25 cents. Riley was interested in public affairs as well as in his farm and family. After the Civil War a Constitutional Convention was called to meet in Raleigh, North Carolina Jan. 04, 1868 to Mar. 17, 1868. Riley represented District 19 Stokes County, North Carolina in this session in which several changes were made from previous constitutions. Riley was a man of integrity and was willing to work to help rebuild peace in the state. He died in 1902 in the home of his son, Riley Jeffery Petree. | Petree, Riley Frost (I56004)

| 3155 | From Genealogical and Personal History of Western Pennsylvania (Volume 2) The Speer family of Coraopolis, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, descends from an ancient Highland Clan who, in their own land, Scotland, were powerful and influential, bearing arms and controlling large estates. (I) James Speer, the American progenitor of the family, came to America in 1750, with his wife and a family of children, all born in Scotland. They sailed up the Chesapeake Bay, landed in Maryland, where they remained for about fifteen years, then removed to where McKeesport, Pennsylvania, now stands, traveling by way of the Ohio and Monongahela rivers. At the expiration of eleven years Mr. Speer removed to a place six miles from Pittsburgh, on the Coraopolis road, Robinson township. There, in a log house across the road from the frame house now occupied by his grandson, Alexander Speer, he and his wife, Margaret (Braden) Speer, lived to a good old age, Mrs. Speer dying at the house of her son Andrew, at the advanced age of one hundred and one years. They were both buried on the hillside below the log house and above the spring house. At the time of the death of Mr. Speer only two of his sons were living, and his property in Robinson township was divided between them. James and Margaret (Braden) Speer had children: i. Robert, who did not come to Pennsylvania with the others of the family, but removed to a place in Kentucky, and later to the middle west, where his descendants still live ; the Rev. Mrs. Collins, who died recently in Pittsburgh, was a granddaughter, and the Rev. Robert E. Speer is a great-grandson. 2. Andrew, of further mention. 3. Alexander, started on a return trip down the river, was never heard from again, and it is presumed that he was captured by hostile Indians. 4. James, of further mention. 5. Ann. 6. Jane. 7. Elizabeth. 8 and 9. Jean and Ginny, did not come to America with their parents, but lived and died in Scotland. (II) Andrew Speer, son of James and Margaret (Braden) Speer, was born in Maryland in 1758, and died July 4, 1838. He was young when the family removed to Pennsylvania, and was variously engaged prior to his settlement in Robinson township, where he owned a good farm of one hundred and seventy-five acres. He married Elizabeth Boyd, born in county Down, Ireland, brought to this country when young by her parents, and lived to an advanced age. Mr. Speer and his wife were active members of the United Presbyterian church, and among the founders of the Union Church in Robinson township. They had children: i. James, of further mention. 2. Andrew, died unmarried. 3. Alexander, was a farmer all his life, having inherited a part of the original Speer homestead, and died at the age of sixty-three years ; he married Hannah Philips, and had children : George Samuel, Emma, Arra, Ella and Laura. 4. Martha, married (first), (second) a Mr. McWhirter, and moved to Ohio. 5. Margaret, married Samuel McCoy, her cousin, and lived in Robinson township. 6.

Ann, married Samuel McCoy, a nephew of her sister Margaret's husband, and lived in Robinson Township. (III) James (2) Speer, eldest son of Andrew and Elizabeth (Boyd) Speer, was born in Robinson township, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, in 1800, and died there in 1837. He grew to manhood on the home farm, and after his marriage rented a nearby farm of Alexander McKee, which he cultivated until his early death at the age of thirty-seven years. He married Elizabeth McCoy, born in Robinson township in 1810. died in March, 1880. She never remarried, but after the death of her husband removed to the farm he had left to the wife and children of his son James. There she built a house in 1842, which was her residence until its destruction by fire in 1878, two years prior to her death. Elizabeth (McCoy) Speer was the daughter of William and Elizabeth (Speer) McCoy, and granddaughter of Thomas and Jane McCoy, who came from county Down, Ireland, in 1790, finally settling in Robinson township, where the family became extensive land owners. John McCoy, brother of William McCoy, married Sarah King, and became one of the prosperous men of the township, and founded a family that is now represented by Thomas (2) McCoy. William McCoy, son of Thomas and Jane McCoy, was born in Ireland. He owned a large tract on Chartiers' creek, near the Steubenville pike, where he died about 1835, being survived by his wife, Elizabeth Speer, until 1850; she was a sister of Andrew Speer. Children : William, died unmarried in early manhood ; Robert, died unmarried ; John, died unmarried : Samuel, married Margaret Speer, and moved to Guernsey county, Ohio; Elizabeth, married James Speer, as previously mentioned; Margaret (Peggy), married George McCready.

This farm was willed to his mother and her children by Andrew Speer, their grandfather, and after the death of Elizabeth (McCoy) Speer, Andrew Braydon Speer bought out his sister's interest and became the sole owner. The barn on the farm was built in 1854 and the house in 1879. The homestead is devoted to general farming, although market gardening is a prominent feature.

| 3161 | From the book: An Illustrated History of Nobles County, Minnesota Published 1908 "Henry H Read, in whose honor the town in which he noe resides was named, is one of the pioneer settlers of Nobles County. He is a native of Mongomery County, Ohio, where he was born Feb. 17, 1851, son of Joseph E. and Czarina (Houser) Read, natives of Maryland and Ohio, respectively. Both parents are dead, the mother having passed away in 1884 and the father four years later. On his father's side Mr. Read is of German and Irish descent; on his mother's side, German. In his native county Mr. Read lived untill he was four years of age, at which time the family moved to Pulaski county, Ind., when hat part of the state was a new and wild country. Henry Read recived his education in the Pulaski county schools, finishing with a course in a graded town school in Ohio. In the fall of 1868 the Reads moved to Shelby county, Ohio, and there our subject lived, engaged in farm work, untill April 1873. He was married in Logan county, Ohio, April 17 1873, to Eliza Catherine Hill, daughter of George and Jane (Gish) Hill. Her father died in 1894; her mother in 1905. Mrs. Read's great grandfather came to America when an infant and founded the American branch of the family. Both the parents died during the trip over, and the passengers, not knowing the family, took care of the infant and named him Hill. After his marrieage Mr. Read moved to Worthington, arriving in that town May 2, 1873. He contested a tree clain on land upon which the village of Reading is now situated, but by reason of the grasshopper scourge changed the filing to a preemption and proved up on it. He did not at once move onto his land, but from 1873 to 1876 farmed his father's farm on Loon Lake, in Jackson county. In the last named year he took up his residence on his Summit Lake township farm, and that has been his home ever since. For a number of years Mr. and Mrs. Read lived in a little shack, which was without a floor and many other accommodations. When Reading was formed in 1899, Mr. Read retired from active farm work. In the early days he served as a member of the board of supervisors of Summit Lake township three or four years, was township treasurer one term, and has held the office of director or clerk of school district No. 7 nearly all of the time he has resided in the county. Mr. Read is a member of the prohibition party and a temperance worker. It has been largely through his influence that saloons have been kept out of Reading." | Read, Henry Houser (I11640)

| 3170 | Fulk (in French: Foulque or Foulques; 1089/1092 Angers - 13 November 1143 Acre), also known as Fulk the Younger, was Count of Anjou (as Fulk V) from 1109 to 1129, and King of Jerusalem from 1131 to his death. He was also the paternal grandfather of Henry II of England. Count of Anjou: Fulk was born in Angers between 1089 and 1092, the son of Count Fulk IV of Anjou and Bertrade de Montfort. In 1092, Bertrade deserted her husband and bigamously married King Philip I of France. He became count of Anjou upon his father's death in 1109. In the next year, he married Erembourg of Maine, cementing Angevin control over the County of Maine. He was originally an opponent of King Henry I of England and a supporter of King Louis VI of France, but in 1118 or 1119 he had allied with Henry when Henry arranged for his son and heir William Adelin to marry Fulk's daughter Matilda. Fulk went on crusade in 1119 or 1120, and became attached to the Knights Templar. (Orderic Vitalis) He returned, late in 1121, after which he began to subsidize the Templars, maintaining two knights in the Holy Land for a year. Much later, Henry arranged for his daughter Matilda to marry Fulk's son Geoffrey of Anjou, which she did in 1127 or 1128. Crusader and King: By 1127 Fulk was preparing to return to Anjou when he received an embassy from King Baldwin II of Jerusalem. Baldwin II had no male heirs but had already designated his daughter Melisende to succeed him. Baldwin II wanted to safeguard his daughter's inheritance by marrying her to a powerful lord. Fulk was a wealthy crusader and experienced military commander, and a widower. His experience in the field would prove invaluable in a frontier state always in the grip of war. However, Fulk held out for better terms than mere consort of the Queen; he wanted to be king alongside Melisende. Baldwin II, reflecting on Fulk's fortune and military exploits, acquiesced. Fulk abdicated his county seat of Anjou to his son Geoffrey and left for Jerusalem, where he married Melisende on 2 June 1129. Later Baldwin II bolstered Melisende's position in the kingdom by making her sole guardian of her son by Fulk, Baldwin III, born in 1130. Fulk and Melisende became joint rulers of Jerusalem in 1131 with Baldwin II's death. From the start Fulk assumed sole control of the government, excluding Melisende altogether. He favored fellow countrymen from Anjou to the native nobility. The other crusader states to the north feared that Fulk would attempt to impose the suzerainty of Jerusalem over them, as Baldwin II had done; but as Fulk was far less powerful than his deceased father-in-law, the northern states rejected his authority. Melisende's sister Alice of Antioch, exiled from the Principality by Baldwin II, took control of Antioch once more after the death of her father. She allied with Pons of Tripoli and Joscelin II of Edessa to prevent Fulk from marching north in 1132; Fulk and Pons fought a brief battle before peace was made and Alice was exiled again. In Jerusalem as well, Fulk was resented by the second generation of Jerusalem Christians who had grown up there since the First Crusade. These "natives" focused on Melisende's cousin, the popular Hugh II of Le Puiset, count of Jaffa, who was devotedly loyal to the Queen. Fulk saw Hugh as a rival, and it did not help matters when Hugh's own stepson accused him of disloyalty. In 1134, in order to expose Hugh, Fulk accused him of infidelity with Melisende. Hugh rebelled in protest. Hugh secured himself to Jaffa, and allied himself with the Muslims of Ascalon. He was able to defeat the army set against him by Fulk, but this situation could not hold. The Patriarch interceded in the conflict, perhaps at the behest of Melisende. Fulk agreed to peace and Hugh was exiled from the kingdom for three years, a lenient sentence. However, an assassination attempt was made against Hugh. Fulk, or his supporters, were commonly believed responsible, though direct proof never surfaced. The scandal was all that was needed for the queen's party to take over the government in what amounted to a palace coup. Author and historian Bernard Hamilton wrote that the Fulk's supporters "went in terror of their lives" in the palace. Contemporary author and historian William of Tyre wrote of Fulk "he never attempted to take the initiative, even in trivial matters, without (Melisende's) consent". The result was that Melisende held direct and unquestioned control over the government from 1136 onwards. Sometime before 1136 Fulk reconciled with his wife, and a second son, Amalric was born. Securing the borders: Jerusalem's northern border was of great concern. Fulk had been appointed regent of the Principality of Antioch by Baldwin II. As regent he had Raymund of Poitou marry the infant Constance of Antioch, daughter of Bohemund II and Alice of Antioch, and niece to Melisende. However, the greatest concern during Fulk's reign was the rise of Atabeg Zengi of Mosul. In 1137 Fulk was defeated in battle near Barin but allied with Mu'in ad-Din Unur, the vizier of Damascus. Damascus was also threatened by Zengi. Fulk captured the fort of Banias, to the north of Lake Tiberias and thus secured the northern frontier. Fulk also strengthened the kingdom's southern border. His butler Paganus built the fortress of Kerak to the south of the Dead Sea, and to help give the kingdom access to the Red Sea, Fulk had Blanche Garde, Ibelin, and other forts built in the south-west to overpower the Egyptian fortress at Ascalon. This city was a base from which the Egyptian Fatimids launched frequent raids on the Kingdom of Jerusalem and Fulk sought to neutralise this threat. In 1137 and 1142, Byzantine emperor John II Comnenus arrived in Syria attempting to impose Byzantine control over the crusader states. John's arrival was ignored by Fulk, who declined an invitation to meet the emperor in Jerusalem. Death: In 1143, while the king and queen were on holiday in Acre, Fulk was killed in a hunting accident. His horse stumbled, fell, and Fulk's skull was crushed by the saddle, "and his brains gushed forth from both ears and nostrils", as William of Tyre describes. He was carried back to Acre, where he lay unconscious for three days before he died. He was buried in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Though their marriage started in conflict, Melisende mourned for him privately as well as publicly. Fulk was survived by his son Geoffrey of Anjou by his first wife, and Baldwin III and Amalric I by Melisende. | Foulques, King of Jerusalem V (I7777)

| 3171 | Fulk I of Anjou (about 870 - 942), called the Red, was son of viscount Ingelger of Angers and Resinde "Aelinde" D'Amboise, was the first count of Anjou from 898 to 941. He increased the territory of the viscounty of Angers and it became a county around 930. During his reign he was permanently at war with the Normans and the Bretons. He occupied the county of Nantes in 907, but abandoned it to the Bretons in 919. He married Rosalie de Loches. He died around 942 and was succeeded by his son Fulk II. The modern day Queen of the United Kingdom, Elizabeth II, is a descendant of his, along with various other European monarchs. | Fulk, I (I37288)
|
| 3172 | Fulk II of Anjou (died 958), son of Fulk the Red, was count of Anjou from 942 to his death. He was often at war with the Bretons. He seems to have been a man of culture, a poet and an artist. He was succeeded by his son Geoffrey Greymantle. Fulk II died at Tours. Fulk's date of death 11 November 958 is given by Christian Settipani in his work La Noblesse du Midi Carolingien, but it's unclear upon what primary evidence this is based. By his spouse, Gerberge, he had several children: Adelais of Anjou, married five times Geoffrey I, Count of Anjou, married Adelaide of Vermandois | Anjou, Fulk II of (I37286)
|
| 3173 | Fulk IV (in French Foulques IV) (1043 - 14 April 1109), called le Réchin, was the Count of Anjou from 1068 until his death. The nickname by which he is usually referred has no certain translation. Philologists have made numerous very different suggestions, including "quarreler", "rude", "sullen", "surly" and "heroic". Life: He was the younger son of Geoffrey II, Count of Gâtinais (sometimes known as Aubri), and Ermengarde of Anjou, a daughter of Fulk the Black, count of Anjou, and sister of Geoffrey Martel, also count of Anjou. When Geoffrey Martel died without direct heirs he left Anjou to his nephew Geoffrey III of Anjou, Fulk le Réchin's older brother. Fulk fought with his brother, whose rule was deemed incompetent, and captured him in 1067. Under pressure from the Church he released Geoffrey. The two brothers soon fell to fighting again, and the next year Geoffrey was again imprisoned by Fulk, this time for good. Substantial territory was lost to Angevin control due to the difficulties resulting from Geoffrey's poor rule and the subsequent civil war. Saintonge was lost, and Fulk had to give the Gâtinais to Philip I of France to placate the king. Much of Fulk's rule was devoted to regaining control over the Angevin baronage, and to a complex struggle with Normandy for influence in Maine and Brittany. In 1096 Fulk wrote an incomplete history of Anjou and its rulers titled Fragmentum historiae Andegavensis or "History of Anjou", though the authorship and authenticity of this work is disputed. Only the first part of the history, describing Fulk's ancestry, is extant. The second part, supposedly describing Fulk's own rule, has not been recovered. If he did write it, it is one of the first medieval works of history written by a layman. Family: Fulk may have married as many as five times; there is some doubt regarding the exact number or how many he repudiated. His first wife was Hildegarde of Beaugency. After her death, before or by 1070, he married Ermengarde de Bourbon in 1070, and then in 1076 possibly Orengarde de Châtellailon. Both these were repudiated (Ermengarde de Bourbon in 1075 and Orengarde de Chatellailon or Châtel-Aillon in 1080), possibly on grounds of consanguinity. By 1080 he may have married Mantie, daughter of Walter I of Brienne. This marriage also ended in divorce, in 1087. Finally, in 1089, he married Bertrade de Montfort, who was apparently "abducted" by King Philip I of France in or around 1092. He had two sons. The eldest (a son of Ermengarde de Bourbon), Geoffrey IV Martel, ruled jointly with him for some time, but died in 1106. The younger (a son of Bertrade de Montfort) succeeded him as Fulk V. He also had a daughter by Hildegarde of Beaugency, Ermengarde, who married firstly with William IX, count of Poitou and duke of Aquitaine and secondly with Alan IV, Duke of Brittany. | Foulques, comte d' Anjou IV (I11698)

| 3198 | García Fernández, called of the White Hands (Spanish: Él de las Manos Blancas) (Burgos, 938 - Córdoba, 995), was the count of Castile and Alava from 970 to 995. The son of Count Fernán González, he continued to recognise the suzerainty of the Kingdom of León, even though he was practically autonomous. In order to expand his frontiers at the expense of the Moors, in 974 he expanded the social base of the nobility by promulgating decrees stating that any villein of Castrojeriz who equipped a knight for battle would enter the ranks of the nobility. He was succeeded by his son, Sancho I of Castile. | Castile, García Fernández of (I37400)

| 3199 | García Sánchez II, sometimes García II, III, IV or V (died 1000-1004), called the Trembling, the Tremulous, or the Trembler (in Spanish, el Temblón) by his contemporaries, was the king of Pamplona and count of Aragón from 994 until his death. He was the son of King Sancho II and Urraca Fernández. Throughout his reign, his foreign policy seems to have been closely linked to that of Castile. His mother was aunt of count Sancho García of Castile, and also of the powerful count of Saldaña, García Gómez of Carrión, and she appears to have played a role in forming a bridge between the kingdom and county. He joined his cousin Sancho in attempting to break from the submission his father had offered to Córdoba, as a result of which he had to face Almanzor. In 996 he was forced to seek peace in Córdoba. In 997 during an expedition into the land of Calatayud, García killed the governor's brother. Almanzor took revenge by beheading 50 Christians. At the Battle of Cervera in July 1000, he joined, along with count García Gómez of Saldaña, in a coalition headed by count Sancho García of Castile that was defeated by Almanzor (that count Sancho led the group is thought to reflect García's decline). Tradition names him one of the Christian leaders at the 1002 Battle of Calatañazor, which resulted in the death of Almanzor and the consequent crisis in the Caliphate of Córdoba, but there is no contemporary record of him after 1000, while his cousin Sancho Ramírez of Viguera may have been ruling in Pamplona in 1002. García was certainly dead by 1004, when his son Sancho Garcés III first appears as king. Domestically, he granted the rule in Aragon to his brother Gonzalo, under the tutelage of his mother Urraca.[1] A tradition reports that he freed all of the Muslim captives being held in the kingdom. He had married by August 981, Jimena, daughter of Ferdinand Vermúdez, count of Cea by Elvira Díaz (aunt of count García Gómez of Saldaña). Among their children were the future king Sancho and Urraca, later the second wife of Alfonso V of Leon. | Pamplona, King of Pamplona García Sánchez II of (I37394)
