| 15 | Aunt Agnes' journal: In March 1845 the family set sail for America with the father, mother and six small children. They were on the Atlantic for six weeks and a severe storm forced them out of their course and the ship landed them in Canada, where they remained until autumn. They came to Pittsburg on the train and there changed to a train which came through Enon Valley. At Enon they took the canal and were to get off at Big Bend. But the captain neglected to tell them the place and took them on to Erie. There was no boat back that week so the family of eight started to walk to Mercer County. They got some rides and people were very kind to them. On a Saturday afternoon they stopped at the Carpenter farm near Millburn for directions and Mr. Carpenter took then into his home for supper as it was late. They had for supper buckwheat cakes, which they had never tasted. Mr. Carpenter filled his wagon bed with straw and drove his team with the eight newly arrived Boyds to the home near Indian Run where the father, mother and brother William resided. Late that night, the grandfather [William] cut out shoes for his little grandsons Alex and William, but the shoes were never finished for he took seriously ill on Sunday with acute indigestion and died early Monday morning at the age of 66. | Boyd, Robert (I599)

| 18 | by Kate Stahlin Shannon: In 1847 our grandparents [George and Elizabeth Konig] and family with Grandma's sister and family, left their homes for the new country. They left Grampa Goldbach sick in bed, he urging them to go, that he'd soon be gone as well. Dear old Gramma Goldbach's grief was so great at her mate's illness and bidding farewell to her family, that she slipped away and hid until they were gone. O, the heartache they must all have endured. And this wasn't all for those sisters. When the boat was loaded, there wasn't room for Grampa and Gramma and their children. And our great-aunt and her family were already aboard, and so the second terrible heartache for these sisters. How much they would have meant to each other in this new country. A week later they went aboard a sailboat and were on the ocean ten weeks. Our uncle John was born during this voyage. The wheelsman on this boat did not always attend to his business when ladies were about. And one day there were two maidens making eyes at him, and he forgot to steer the boat. A large wave dashed up and nearly upset the boat. The Captain ran up and told everyone to get on the other side of the boat so as to help balance it. After everything was over, the Captain was so angry at the wheelsman that he was going to throw him overboard but Grampa [George] interceded for him and said it was time to thank God that they were saved, and to let the man alone. And so a prayer was wafted heavenward. Our grandparents were very religious. Theirs was the Lutheran Creed. After their ocean voyage they located in Canada six miles from Berlin. at this time Grampa had fifty cents left on him. But with stout heart and faith in God he hired out to a farmer and things were soon right. These two sisters wo came to the United States never saw each other again after they parted on the dock in Germany. No trace could ever be found of what became of the others who left on the first boat. | Goldbauch, Elizabeth (I419)

| 23 | Duke of Normandy (as Guillaume II ) William I of England, William of Normandy, William the Conqueror and William the Bastard. He was the illegitimate son of Robert the Magnificent, Duke of Normandy, and Herleva, the daughter of a tanner. Born in Falaise, Normandy, now in France, William succeeded to the throne of England by right of conquest by winning the Battle of Hastings in 1066 in what has become known as the Norman Conquest. William succeeded to his fathers Duchy of Normandy at the young age of 7 in 1035 and was known as Duke William II of Normandy. He lost three guardians to plots to usurp his place. King Henry I of France knighted him at the age of 15. By the time he turned 19 he was himself successfully dealing with threats of rebellion and invasion. With the assistance of King Henry, William finally secured control of Normandy by defeating the rebel Norman barons at Caen in the Battle of Val-s-Dunes in 1047. William The Conqueror, or The Bastard, or William Of Normandy, French Guillaume Le Conqubbrant, or Le Bbbtard, or Guillaume De Normandieduke of Normandy (as William II) from 1035 and king of England from 1066, one of the greatest soldiers and rulers of the Middle Ages. He made himself the mightiest feudal lord in France and then changed the course of England's history by his conquest of that country. William was the elder of two children of Robert I of Normandy and his concubine Herleva, or Arlette, the daughter of a burgher from the town of Falaise. In 1035 Robert died when returning from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and William, his only son, whom he had nominated as his heir before his departure, was accepted as duke by the Norman magnates and his feudal overlord, King Henry I of France. William and his friends had to overcome enormous obstacles. His illegitimacy (he was generally known as the Bastard) was a handicap, and he had to survive the collapse of law and order that accompanied his accession as a child. Three of William's guardians died violent deaths before he grew up, and his tutor was murdered. His father's kin were of little help; most of them thought that they stood to gain by the boy's death. But his mothe rmanaged to protect William through the most dangerous period. These early difficulties probably contributed to his strength of purpose and his dislike of lawlessness and misrule. By 1042, when William reached his 15th year, was knighted, and began to play a personal part in the affairs of his duchy, the worst was over.But his attempts to recover rights lost during the anarchy and to bring disobedient vassals and servants to heel inevitably led to trouble. From 1046 until 1055 he dealt with a series of baronial rebellions, mostly led by kinsmen . Occasionally he was in great danger and had to rely on Henry of France for help. In 1047 Henry and William defeated a coalition of Norman rebels at Val-bbs-Dunes, southeast of Caen. It was in these years that William learned to fight and rule.

| 32 | From Brittania.com: The fifty-year reign of Edward III was a dichotomy in English development. Governmental reforms affirmed the power of the emerging middle class in Parliament while placing the power of the nobility into the hands a few. Chivalric code reached an apex in English society but only masked the greed and ambition of Edward and his barons. Social conditions were equally ambiguous: the export of raw wool (and later, the wool cloth industry) prospered and spread wealth across the nation but was offset by the devastation wrought by the Black Death. Early success in war ultimately failed to produce lasting results. Edward proved a most capable king in a time of great evolution in England. Edward's youth was spent in his mother's court and he was crowned at age fourteen after his father was deposed. After three years of domination by his mother and her lover, Roger Mortimer, Edward instigated a palace revolt in 1330 and assumed control of the government. Mortimer was executed and Isabella was exiled from court. Edward was married to Philippa of Hainault in 1328 and the union produced many children; the 75% survival rate of their children - nine out of twelve lived through adulthood - was incredible considering conditions of the day. War occupied the largest part of Edward's reign. He and Edward Baliol defeated David II of Scotland and drove David into exile in 1333. French cooperation with the Scots, French aggression in Gascony, and Edward's claim to the disputed throne of France (through his mother, Isabella) led to the first phase of the Hundred Years' war. The naval battle of Sluys (1340) gave England control of the Channel, and battles at Crecy (1346) and Calais (1347) established English supremacy on land. Hostilities ceased in the aftermath of the Black Death but war flared up again with an English invasion of France in 1355. Edward, the Black Prince and eldest son of Edward III, trounced the French cavalry at Poitiers (1356) and captured the French King John. In 1359, the Black Prince encircled Paris with his army and the defeated French negotiated for peace. The Treaty of Bretigny in 1360 ceded huge areas of northern and western France to English sovereignty. Hostilities arose again in 1369 as English armies under the king's third son, John of Gaunt, invaded France. English military strength, weakened considerably after the plague, gradually lost so much ground that by 1375, Edward agreed to the Treaty of Bruges, leaving only the coastal towns of Calais, Bordeaux, and Bayonne in English hands. The nature of English society transformed greatly during Edward's reign. Edward learned from the mistakes of his father and affected more cordial relations with the nobility than any previous monarch. Feudalism dissipated as mercantilism emerged: the nobility changed from a large body with relatively small holdings to a small body that held great lands and wealth. Mercenary troops replaced feudal obligations as the means of gathering armies. Taxation of exports and commerce overtook land-based taxes as the primary form of financing government (and war). Wealth was accrued by merchants as they and other middle class subjects appeared regularly for parliamentary sessions. Parliament formally divided into two houses - the upper representing the nobility and high clergy with the lower representing the middle classes - and met regularly to finance Edward's wars and pass statutes. Treason was defined by statute for the first time (1352), the office of Justice of the Peace was created to aid sheriffs (1361), and English replaced French as the national language (1362). Despite the king's early successes and England's general prosperity, much remained amiss in the realm. Edward and his nobles touted romantic chivalry as their credo while plundering a devastated France; chivalry emphasized the glory of war while reality stressed its costs. The influence of the Church decreased but John Wycliff spearheaded an ecclesiastical reform movement that challenged church exploitation by both the king and the pope. During 1348-1350, bubonic plague (the Black Death) ravaged the populations of Europe by as much as a fifty per cent. The flowering English economy was struck hard by the ensuing rise in prices and wages. The failed military excursions of John of Gaunt into France caused excessive taxation and eroded Edward's popular support. The last years of Edward's reign mirrored the first, in that a woman again dominated him. Philippa died in 1369 and Edward took the unscrupulous Alice Perrers as his mistress. With Edward in his dotage and the Black Prince ill, Perrers and William Latimer (the chamberlain of the household) dominated the court with the support of John of Gaunt. Edward, the Black Prince, died in 1376 and the old king spent the last year of his life grieving. Rafael Holinshed, in Chronicles of England, suggested that Edward believed the death of his son was a punishment for usurping his father's crown: "But finally the thing that most grieved him, was the loss of that most noble gentleman, his dear son Prince Edward . . . But this and other mishaps that chanced to him now in his old years might seem to come to pass for a revenge of his disobedience showed to his in usurping against him. . ." | Plantagenet, III Edward (I1390)
