4367	Husband of Corinne, father of five - four sons and a daughter - Frank worked primarily as a carpenter throughout the Hutchinson area. He also was a truck driver and worked at the "Strawboard" among other jobs. He was a veteran of World War II, serving in Europe with the U.S. Army. He often took on extra jobs after hours, often for those - family or not - who needed a person they could trust to get the job done and done right. He was known for sharing his skills and knowledge with the younger guys on the job, and helping them to grow in their own skills. He also volunteered his expertise for church and civic organizations and found the time to support his children's pursuits.	Gibson, Frank Raymond (I41781)

4379	Hywel Dda (c. 880 - 950), (English: Hywel the Good;, sometimes anglicized to Howell the Good) was a well-thought-of king of Deheubarth in south-west Wales, who, using his cunning, eventually came to rule Wales from Prestatyn to Pembroke. As a descendant of Rhodri Mawr through his father Cadell, Hywel was a member of the Dinefwr branch of the dynasty and is also named Hywel ap Cadell. He was recorded as King of the Britons in the Annales Cambriae and the Annals of Ulster. He is remembered as one of the most responsible native Welsh rulers of all time. His name is particularly linked with the development of the Welsh laws, generally known as the Laws of Hywel Dda. The latter part of his name ('Dda' or 'Good') refers to the fact that his laws were just and good. The historian Dafydd Jenkins sees in them compassion rather than punishment, plenty of common sense and a sense of respect towards women. Hywel Dda was certainly a well-educated man, even by modern standards, having a good knowledge of Welsh, Latin, and English. In April 2008 a merger of Pembrokeshire & Derwen, Ceredigion and Mid Wales, and Carmarthenshire NHS Trusts was named the Hywel Dda NHS Trust in his honour. Hywel was born at around 880, the younger son of Cadell, himself the son of Rhodri the Great. In 905, Cadell, having conquered Dyfed, gave it to his son to rule on his behalf. Hywel was able to consolidate his position by marrying Elen, whose father Llywarch ap Hyfaidd had ruled Dyfed until his death. Following his father's death in 909, he acquired a share of Seisyllwg, and on his brother's death in 920, he merged Dyfed and Seisyllwg, creating for himself a new kingdom, which became known as Deheubarth. Following the death of his cousin Idwal Foel in 942, he also seized the Kingdom of Gwynedd. Hywel's reign was a violent one, and he achieved an understanding with Athelstan of England. Athelstan and Hywel ruled part of Wales jointly. Such was the relationship between the neighbouring countries that Hywel was able to mint his own coinage in the English city of Chester. He was the first Welsh ruler to produce coinage for at least a thousand years, since the coinage of his Celtic predecessors. His study of legal systems and his pilgrimage to Rome in 928 combined to enable him to formulate advanced ideas about law. A comparative study of law and lawmaking at the time reveals a deep concern for law and its documentation throughout Europe and also the Islamic world, the Cordoba Islamic Law translation schools being a fine example, from Greek to Arabic to Latin. The Hywel 'Law' book was written partly in Latin, about laws of court, law of country and the law of justices. Opinions vary as to the motives for Hywel's close association with the court of Athelstan. J.E. Lloyd claimed Hywel was an admirer of Wessex, while D.P. Kirby suggests that it may have been the action of a pragmatist who recognized the realities of power in mid-10th century Britain. It is notable that he gave one of his sons an Anglo-Saxon name, Edwin. His policies with regard to England were evidently not to the taste of all his subjects. Athelstan and Hywel had similar interests. They both developed a coinage; they both had a kingdom; both were attributed a Law book. Hywel was aware of the greater power and acceded to it. A Welsh language poem entitled Armes Prydein, considered by Sir Ifor Williams to have been written in Deheubarth during Hywel's reign, called for the Welsh to join a confederation of all the non-English peoples of Britain and Ireland to fight the Saxons. The poem may be linked to the alliance of Norse and Celtic kingdoms which challenged Athelstan at the Battle of Brunanburh in 937. No Welsh forces joined this alliance, and this may well have been because of the influence of Hywel. On the other hand neither did he send troops to support Athelstan. The conference held at Whitland circa 945, was an assembly in which Welsh law was codified and set down in writing for posterity. According to tradition, much of the work was done by the celebrated clerk, Blegywryd. Following Hywel's death, his kingdom was soon split into three. Gwynedd was reclaimed by the sons of Idwal Foel, while Deheubarth was divided between Hywel's sons. However, his legacy endured in the form of his laws, which remained in active use throughout Wales until the conquest and were not abolished by the English Parliament until the 16th century. A surviving copy of a Latin text of the Law (ms Peniarth 28) is held at The National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth and can be seen online. More than 30 manuscripts were recently selected for a discussion of the "Law" of Hywel, by a Welsh professor of Medieval studies, Hywel Emanuel. Only five of them were considered to be of sufficient antiquity, dating back to the 13thC or earlier, to merit serious attention. Three of them were in Latin and two in Welsh.	Dda, Hywel (I15981)
4380	I am sure of our Thompson branch of the tree through William J Thompson... After him is all a guess... Family story states: 7th Great Grandfather Thompson came from Scotland and settled in Maryland, his son 6th Great Grandfather Thompson was raised and lived in Maryland, 5th Great Grandfather Thompson moved to Virginia with his family (name was thought to be William, but research is pointing me towards Richard), His son, my 4th Great Grandfather was William J Thompson. William J died of cholera around 1832 and he left 3 orphaned children: William Laffayette (my 3rd Great Grandfather), Martha and John Thompson. After William J Thompson died, the children were brought to Palmyra, MO and raised by a cousin, Moses Howe. I have not been able to find Moses Howe yet in Missouri... FamilyTreeDNA does show Scottish descent, but my research and the family story don't seem to fully line up...	Thompson, William J (I14126)
4381	I have found last name as Pennick, Pennock, Pennix, Pinnack. Thomas Pennick married Ann Almon on 15 Mar 1769 in Baltimore Co, MD. From the Register of Births, Marriages and Deaths in St. John's and St. Georges Parrish Baltimore and Harford Counties. Vol. 1, p 258. This entry is listed under St. John's Harford Co. Register, 1769-1849.	Pinick, Thomas (I11059)
4382	I was told by Robert Barnett, that John Cooper may be the father of William Barnett. William was born out of wedlock and raised by his grandparents.	Cooper, John (I44035)
4383	I'm guessing that Clarissa Steele/Robinett is the mother of Mary Belle Steele. But not sure yet how this all fits together... 1850 Census had David and Martha Steel with daughter Clarissa age 25 1860 Clarraice (Clarissa) is head of household living with a Wilburn Robinett and children John, Mary and Martha all with the last name Steel 1870 She's now Clarissa Robinett with Wilburn Robinett and the children are still listed as Steel: Erastus, Mary Belle, Martha M, Viola E, Francis M and Margaret E 1880 Clarissa and Wilburn Robinett but now the children are Robinett as well: Viola E, Francis M H, Emma M and Lorus K	Steele, Mary Belle (I43558)

Jerig and his wife Anna Maree and son Johannes immigrated on board the ship Pink Plaisance from Germany. They landed in Philadelphia Sept. 21, 1732. They settled in Bucks County, Pa.	Bast, Jerig (I1346)
4390	In 1404, Elisabeth was widowed while her son, the successor of her spouse, was still a minor. She thereby became regent. She was forced to the political act of handing the guardian regency over the County of Holstein to her former brother-in-law, Bishop Henry of Osnabrück, and the guardian regency of the Duchy of Sønderjylland, as well as the custody of her son, Duke Henry, to Queen Margaret I of Denmark and King Erik: her son Duke Henry was taken to Denmark, and her daughter Ingeborg was by Queen Margaret sent to Vadstena Abbey in Sweden. In the following years, Queen Margaret acquired large parts of Sønderjylland as security (Tønder fief, Frisland, episcopal manors in Svabsted and Stubbe), by purchase (Trøjborg, Skinkelborg, Grødersby); King Erik took over Haderslev fief as security from the fiefholder Helene Ahlefeldt, and Flensborg by the queen. When Gottorp was about to be taken over by the Danish crown, however, Elisabeth called her son Henry back from Denmark (1408) and had a declaration of hostility sent to King Erik 14 June 1410. This led to a number of feuds, instability and the pawning of several fiefs. Her own dower lands Als, Ærø and Sundeved was taken by King Erik. Several foreign princes, among them her brother Duke Henry the Mild of Brunswick and Lunenburg (Wolfenbüttel), tried to intervene and mediate but without lasting peace. In 1415, her son Henry was declared of legal majority, the reign of Elisabeth ended and she is no longer mentioned much in the documents. In 1417, she was present in Rendsborg at the side of her son when King Erik took Slesvig and when Henry was forced to seek help from Hamburg. In 1423, her sons formed a complaint that their mother had been assaulted by the royal soldiers despite the promise that she was to be left out of the conflict: her carriage had been attacked and her male staff had been mugged and captured. This is the last time she is mentioned.	Brunswick, Duchess consort of Sønderjylland and Schleswig Catherine Elisabeth of (I37042)
4391	In 1779 three of Michael Prewitt's sons, Elisha, Rober and Joshua, went with members of six of their neighboring Virginia families to the wilderness of Kentucky. Major Herman Bowman, in a desposition taken by John D. Shane, which is recorded in the Draper Manuscript, 13cc170 No. 41, owned by the Wisconsin Historical Society, tells of the famous Bowman Expedition, as follows: "Father came to Boman's Station, 1779, through the wilderness. had been to Kentucky in 1777. Seven families came in from Virginia together. Got out of floure at the Holston. the mill in the neighborhood was impressed for public service, and then set out with a scarcity of flour for the winter. Got to Cumberland River, and there a deep snow fell, and another when we got to Rockcastle. Occupied tents only to protect us from the winter. Walker and Henderson were running the line, and marking it with red paint very plain (on the top of the Cumberland Gap) while we were crossing. They told us that an Indian had killed one of their men, or that one of their men had killed an Indian the day before, which alarmed us somewhat, though we saw none. We got so far out that there was fine cane, and good range for out stock. Had ten cattle and expected eight calves in the spring, but lost all our stock, but one head. had no fear of Indians, whatever, it was so cold. Snow covered the vegitation, and cane-breaks scattering. 2 men were left to take care of them, but they became alarmed, run away, left them, and they scattered everywhere to get grapes, and only one of my father's was found...." Robert Boman, Stephen Collins, Joseph Collins and Joel Collins left his family in Virginia. Was one of the best hunters that ever came to Kentucky. Elisha Prewitt and Robert Prewitt left their family in Virginia. Joshua Prewitt had no family. His sons having verified by personal experience the reports of the beauty and fertility of Kentucky over the mountains, Michael Prewitt removed from Campbell County, Virginia (His home was between the Staunton and Falling Rivers) with members of his family and some neighboring souther Virginia friends. Robert Prewitt was left behind with a Power of Attorney to sell his Virginia holdings and to settle his affairs there. Michael Prewitt, Sr., and the following of his children, set out in October, 1789, after the year's crops were harvested for Kentucky; Daniel and Judith Prewitt Michell; James and Elizabeth Stree Prewitt; Elisha and Tabitha Collins Prewitt; Byrd and Sarah Hurt Prewitt; Joseph and Leah Moss Prewitt; Joshua and Sarah Adams Prewitt; Elizabeth Prewitt Adams and her husband Mr. Adams. Rachel Prewitt, who had marrie Robert Shipely; Michael Prewitt, Jr., and his wife Elizabeth Hurt; still living in Virginia in 1802 when he wrote a letter to his brother in Kentucky - then went to Tennessee about 1805; and Robert Prewitt, who remained to settle up the family's affairs after which he and his famly removed to Fayette County, Kentucky, in 1794, were not in the party with their father and other members of the family when they made their memorable trip. Members of the family settled in Jessamine County, shelby County and Henry County, Kentuckey. Michael Prewitt, Sr., settled on Mulberry Creek in Shelby County and Died in Jessamine County while on a visit to his children; was buried in the family cemetery near Nicholsville on land which came into the possession of George Bryan and Elziabeth Prewitt Bryan, daughter of Byrd Prewitt and Sarah Hurt, whose land lay on Clear Creek. Jessamine's County Seat, Nicholsville, is laid out on part of the former land of Joseph Prewitt. Michael Prewitt,Sr., and his sons, wrote good legible letters and documents, they seemed to spell their name in many different ways. These documents are in the possession of descendants in Winchester, Kentucky. Michael Prewitt, the father, wrote the name Prewet, "Michael Prewet, sen", except when he signed his Will, when he wrote "Michael Prewitt, sen", but in the body of the document, which is filed in the courthouse at Shelbyville, Shelby County, Kentucky (Will Book I, page 41), he spelled the name Prewit and Prewitt. The Will is filed under the name Prewitt. James Prewitt used "Prewit" in one document and Joshua sometimes spelled the name as Prewet and Prewett. Michael Prewitt, Jr. apparently always spelled his name Pruitt. Robert Prewitt apparently went to Kentucky as early as 1777, having spent the winter at the fort of Harroldsburg. Reference History of Kentucky, Collins, Vol. II Copy of Original Document Prewitt to Pow Atty. Prewite 461 Recorded To all to whome these presents shall come Know ye that I Michael Prewet Senior of the County of Campbell State of Virginia for divers good causes & considerations me thereunto moeving Have Consituted & appoint my son Robert Prewit of the County and State aforesaid my true and lawful attorney for me and in my name to sue and recover all such sums of money as are due me in the said State of Virginia or elsewhere, or in my name to Grant such Acquittances or other Receits as shall be Lawful And to sell and Dispose of all my Lands in the County of Campbell and State afresaid that remain now unsold and Convey the same to the Purcheser or purchasers in fee Simple as fully and Absolutely as I might or Could do were I personally Present Satisfying and Confirming Whatever my said Attorney shall Lawfully Do in and about the premises.

4392	In 1848, the news of discovery of gold in California reached the Ohio Valley. The next spring, in 1849, thousands joined the Gold Rush. For ten years George W. Forrester struggled to overcome the desire, but in 1859 he departed for the gold fields of the West. The last word from him was received by his wife in July 1869, when he was in Elko, Nevada, on his way to White Pines Mines in Nevada. It is supposed he was murdered by Indians.	Forrester, George Washington III (I4858)
4393	In 1861 Robert Gilmore Penn owned over eight hundred acres of land, five slaves, eighty horses, one hundred cattle, twenty sheep, and other miscellaneous property. The total was worth an impressive $11,760. As with the estates of his brothers, William and John Wesley, the progression of the war seemed to have little impact on his fortunes at first. The value of his lands held steady; he maintained his slaveholding status; and the size of his herds made modest increases. His total estate climbed to $12,690 in 1862, but in 1865 his holdings were worth only $5,890. The devaluation of real and personal property was but one of the manifestations of the economic uncertainty, even chaos, brought on by the Civil War. But for the Penn family whose sons were of fighting age, the confusion and loss proved more than economic. Robert Gilmore Penn's older brother, William Penn, was killed at Pea Ridge, Arkansas (see above). His brother John Wesley Penn, commanded troops (see above). Robert Gilmore Penn began his military service as a member of the Cedar Hill Cavalry Company. As a private, he served with the Home Guard also under Captain Richard L. Sullivan. But later Robert joined the Texas Cavalry in the Regiment of Colonel Nathaniel M. Burford who was a prominent Dallas resident. On March 21, 1862, he enlisted at Dallas and served in Captain Allen Beard's unit. When he was mustered in, Robert was described as being twenty-six years of age, standing five feet and ten and one-half inches tall, and having grey eyes and black hair. He served in the regiment along with seventy-five other men and was a member of Company B. Robert was mustered in on March 21 and on May 8, 1862; he received bounty pay of $50 on June 24, 1862. The Nineteenth Regiment of the Texas Cavalry was attached to Hawes', G. W. Carter's, Flourney's, W. Steele's, and W. H. Parson's Brigade, Trans-Mississippi Department. Five men were killed, nineteen wounded, and nine were missing from the unit after Marmaduke's Missouri Raid. The unit continued its service, fighting in Arkansas, and then serving in the operations against Bank's Red River Campaign. The regiment returned to Arkansas and then ended the war at Marshall, Texas, where it disbanded in May 1865. The following is a copy of a letter he wrote during the Civil War: Camp Calley's Ridge, Arkansas May 18, 1863 Dear Brother and Sister: I received your very welcome letter yesterday dated 15th Apr. 1863 and was glad to heare that you all was well. We are now camped about 45 miles east of Jackson Port. We wil remaine here - or near here - for about two weeks to rest our horses and get them shod - unless routed by the enemy. We camped in Missouri on the 18 night of Apr. for the first time. We went to Petersen on a forced march traveling almost day and night. There was about 600 feds stationed at Paterson. Our brigade went one rode(sic) and a Missouri Brigade went another. The two Brigades were to meet at Paterson at the same time, Colonel Carter's Regt. was in the advance of our Brigade. I suppose he thought it would be an easy game and rushed on with his Regt. and Captain Pratt's Battery and got to Paterson about two hours before the Mo. Brigade. ................. R. G. Gilmore After the war Robert Gilmore Penn's estate depreciated further. During the late 1860's Robert G. Penn began selling some of his land, essentially reducing his acreage that he held within each of his surveys. He maintained an estate equal to approximately half of his antebellum estate and continued to keep horses and cattle and to retain a good amount of miscellaneous property following the war. In 1870, he was thirty-four years of age, a farmer whose real estate was valued at $4,500 and personal property at $1,785. He was a thirty-second degree Mason. He traded land in Duncanville for large land tracts in Concho County, Texas, but lost it all in a swindle, involving British investors. He went to Altus, Oklahoma, and filed for a section of land. He stated in some papers that his land was in Greer County, but this is not where Altus is at the present time, possibly the boundaries have changed over the years. He later married (2) Betty Shikles.	Penn, Robert Gilmore (I29798)

4395	In the 1860 slave census it states that Ephraim and his wife Margaret were slave owners living in Hickory County Missouri. After the Civil War ended Ephraim and his wife Margaret applied for a Civil War pension for a helpless child. In the 1870 census it states that Ephraim and his wife Margaret were living in Hermitage Missouri Hickory County. It lists his occupation as a farmer. Also living with them were their children Alanson, Calvin, Emiline, Mary and Margaret. In the 1880 census it states that Ephraim and his wife Margaret were living in Center Missouri Hickory County. It lists his occupation as a farmer. Also living with them were their children Emiline, Mary, Margaret and Martha. In the 1900 census it states that Ephraim was a widower living in Center Missouri Hickory County. It lists his occupation as a retired farmer. Also living with him was his children Emiline, Margaret and Martha. In the 1910 census it states that Ephraim was a widower living in Center Missouri Hickory County. 1870 census E F Halbert Hermitage, Hickory, MO abt 1832 Tennessee White Male Margaret T Halbert Hermitage, Hickory, MO abt 1834 Tennessee White Female Alanson F Halbert Hermitage, Hickory, MO abt 1857 Missouri White Male Calvin B Halbert Hermitage, Hickory, MO abt 1860 Missouri White Male Millie Halbert Hermitage, Hickory, MO abt 1862 Missouri White Female Mollie Halbert Hermitage, Hickory, MO abt 1864 Missouri White Female Maggie Halbert Hermitage, Hickory, MO abt 1868 Missouri White Female Edward D Halbert Hermitage, Hickory, MO abt 1847 Missouri White Male E F brother «u»Ephraim HALBERT «/u» Self M Male W 48 TN Farmer SC TN «u» Margaret F.

4399	In the time of William the Conqueror, Alan, the son of Flathald (or Flaald) obtained, by the gift of the King, the castle of Oswaldestre, with the territory adjoining, which belonged to Meredith, Prince of Powys as Bleddyn, King of Powys. This Alan, having married the daughter and heir of Warine, Sheriff of Shropshire, had, in her right, the Barony of Warine and was s. by his son, William FitzAlan. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages,Ltd., London, 1883, p 200, Fitz-Alan, Earls of Arundel, Barons Maltravers]. Received from Henry I, extensive fiefs in Salop and Norfolk. (Ren Neville, Ancestry.com) Alan obtained soon after the Norman conquest, a grant of the castle of Oswestry.
