| 56 | Little Page Hiatt 1880 Fremont Co., IA census: History of the State of Nebraska, Nemaha County... "The first sawmill in the precinct was one brought across the Missouri River by Willis Hill, in the spring of 1857, the owner dying before it was unpacked; that operation was performed by Little Page Hiatt, who set it up and continued to run it until the summer of 1858, when it was sold and removed to Pawnee City." "The first hotel was that of Little Page Hiatt, a large frame building erected early in 1857, and destroyed by fire in 1863; later in 1857 put up a substantial building for hotel purposes, which was also burned in 1862." | Hiatt, Little Page (I21)

| 57 | Marshal was a younger son of John Marshal and Sybilla, the sister of the earl of Salisbury, Patrick. This made him a younger brother of William Marshal, the advisor to Kings Henry II, Richard I, John and Henry III. Henry probably owed his appointment as Dean of York to his brother, and he took office as dean on 15 September 1189. He had only been consecrated a deacon that day. As Dean, he quarrelled with his superior, Geoffrey, Archbishop of York, and also served as a royal justice. In 1194, probably owing the patronage of his brother, as well as Hubert Walter, who was Archbishop of Canterbury, Marshal was selected to fill the see of Exeter which had been vacant since 1191.[1] He was nominated about 10 February 1194 and consecrated about 28 March 1194[2] at Canterbury by Hubert Walter.[1] While bishop, he gave to his cathedral chapter and built churches in his diocese. He supposedly finished the construction of Exeter Cathedral. Marshal died in 1206, possibly on 1 November.[2] His tomb in Exeter Cathedral is still extant and has the bishop's effigy on it. | Marshal, Henry Bishop of Exeter (I1392)

| 59 | Martha's first husband, Daniel Parke Custis died intestate. Marthat received the lifetime use of one-third of his property ("dower share"), with the other two-thirds held in trust for their children. The January 1759 Custis Estate inventory lists 285 enslaved Africans.[1] The October 1759 Custis Estate inventory lists 17,779 acres (71.95 km2) of land, spread over 5 counties.[2] John Parke Custis was the only one of their children to reach his majority, and became the sole heir. Upon her marriage to George Washington, the dower share, including the "dower negroes," came under Washington's control, pursuant to the common law doctrine of seisin jure uxoris, but upon his death, reverted to her, and then, upon her death, to her first husband's children. Because of Martha Washington's "dower share" (which included 153 enslaved Africans in 1799), the Custis Estate was not liquidated until after her 1802 death. | Dandridge, Martha (I1207)

| 61 | Mother of George Washington. "The Belle of Epping Forest" was born in 1708 in Lancaster County, Virginia to a well-to-do family. Her early years were spent between the homes of her half-sister Elizabeth and her guardian Colonel George Eskridge, being educated in the "feminine arts" of sewing, cooking, running an estate and etiquette. At the age of twenty, Mary traveled to London to visit her half-brother Joseph and there met Augustine Washington, who also lived in Virginia. They courted for two years before being married in 1731 and settling down at his estate, Pope's Creek, in Westmoreland County. Augustine was much like her father, having three children from a prior marriage and sufficiently successful, owning an ironworks. The following year on February 22, their first son George was born. Six years and four more children later, the family moved to Ferry Farm to be closer to Augustine's ironworks. Mary was left alone with the children often, as her husband did a lot of traveling for his business; it was during these times that she handled the overseeing of the farm and personally educating all of her children in everything from studying the Bible to horsemanship. In April of 1743, Augustine died unexpectedly and left Mary a widow at thirty-five with five children under twelve years old. She threw herself into managing the six hundred acre estate; while women were not allowed to own property at the time, Augustine had left Ferry Farm to George and she was allowed possession until he came of age. Unable to send George to England to be educated as was the custom of the time, she sent him to Mount Vernon to study with his elder half-brother Lawrence. At the age of fourteen, George wanted to enlist in the British Navy, but Mary put her foot down - he was needed at home. To combat his disappointment, she let him have his father's old surveying equipment and hired a tutor to train him; within years he was buying up land with the money he earned as a surveyor. Mary continued to live at Ferry Farm for forty-five years, never remarrying. Her land and her children were her life, there was no room for anything else. As she got older, however, she could not work as often as she liked and came to rely on some support from her children. In 1772, when she was sixty-four, George bought her a house in Fredericksburg a few blocks from Kenmore, the estate of her daughter Betty and her husband Fielding Lewis. The relationship between her and George was more strained than the one she had with the rest of her children, yet he was her main provider in her later years, even buying her a "riding chair" so that she could more easily visit her friends and neighbors. During the War for Independence, she would walk or ride to an outcropping of rock on Betty's estate, now referred to as "Meditation Rock" where she would pray for her son and his success. Mary lived to see her son George not only succeed in his drive to defeat the British in the War, but become the first President of the United States. He last visited her on his way to New York City for his inauguration in April 1789. Four months later, Mary Ball Washington died on August 25, 1789 at the age of eighty-one and was buried a few paces from Meditation Rock. | Ball, Mary (I1176)

| 65 | Philip confirmed his father's gifts to the abbey of St Florent in 1096. He was the first Braose Lord of Builth and Radnor, their initial holding in the Welsh Marches. Philip returned from the 1st Crusade in 1103. He built the Norman Church of St Nicolas at Old Shoreham and founded the port of New Shoreham. His lands were confiscated by Henry I in 1110, due to his traitrous support of William, son of Robert Curthose, but they were returned in 1112. Philip de Braose went on 2nd Crusade and died in Palestine. | De Braiose, Sir Philip Lord of Bramber (I110)

Few know of who tied the skunk to the traffic light or who blew the mailbox off the front of your father's house with a home-made firecracker. Remember riding on the truck hood while you drove and I shot coyote/rabbit at night in the fields. Headlites and guns blazing - Miss ya, TGH | Lindsey, Arlo Duane (I870)

| 75 | Robert Taliaferro, left England shortly before his 21st birthday. He boarded the ship 'Honor' at the Stepney docks only two days after his father, Francis Taliaferro, died and was buried. He left his older sister, Anne, to act as Administrator of their Father's estate. The date, August 1646, the likelihood that his uncle was a close adherent of the deposed King, and the haste of his departure in company of Robert Lee, seems to signal that Robert Taliaferro fled England in the wake of the defeat of King Charles I by the Parliamentary forces. Soon after he arrived in Virginia, he took up a patent adjacent to the earlier patent of Richard Lee, progenitor of Virginia's famous Lee family and a known Royalist. Richard Lee invited King Charles to take refuge in Virginia where he would be welcomed. | Taliaferro, Robert (I1902)

| 77 | Roy could grab a rattlesnake, crack it like a whip and the head would pop off. Then added the snake rattles to his collection. Once lived/worked on a farm with the living room kitchen in Kansas, bedrooms in Colorado. Barn in Kansas, work shed in Colorado. Had the best hand/foot powered tools in the work shed. Fond memories of spending hours pedaling the drill press, holes in every piece of wood I could find. Loved spending hours around the coal stove in the living room, lite by kerosene lamps and listening to stories of the old days. Taught me to milk cows and goats, collect eggs and arrange eggs in a nest when he wanted hen's to incubate the eggs. Lost an eye in a wheat harvesting accident as a child, would squint his bad eye whenever he'd smile, laugh. | Courtney, Roy Lester (I274)

| 80 | The line to the dukes of Normandy comes through Isabel St. Liz, and the line to Charlemagne comes through her husband, William Mauduit. The lines merge again with the marriage of Richard I, Duke of Normandy, and Emma, daughter of Hugh, who was -in all but name- King of France. His son, Hugh Capet, later assumed the title, and primogeniture began in the French line of kings. The two lines met again later with the marriage of Adele, daughter of King Robert II, and Richard III, Duke of Normandy. Richard I, "the Fearless"; named father's heir 29 May 942. Married first (Danish wife) Gunnora but betrothed ca. 945 and eventually married 960 to Emma. Richard was betrothed to Emma for some time but did not marry her until about 960, after the death of her father, Hugh the Great, in 956. Richard was the guardian of Hugh's son, the Duke of Paris, and eventually married Emma to strengthen his position. He did not treat her unkindly, he merely loved Gunnora. Poor Emma passed her life at Rouen alone and solitary, and eventually she pined away and died about the year 962. After Emma's death he married (Christian marriage) Gunnora to legitimize their children. | Normandy, Richard I (I1402)

| 82 | The new King Richard I arranged her marriage in August 1189 to William Marshal, regarded by many as the greatest knight and soldier in the realm. Henry II had promised Marshal he would be given Isabel as his bride, and his son and successor Richard upheld the promise one month after his accession to the throne. At the time of her marriage, Isabel was residing in the Tower of London in the protective custody of the Justiciar of England, Ranulf de Glanville.[7] Following the wedding, which was celebrated in London "with due pomp and ceremony",[8] they spent their honeymoon at Stoke d'Abernon in Surrey which belonged to Enguerrand d'Abernon.[9] Marriage to Isabel elevated William Marshal from the status as a landless knight into one of the richest men in the kingdom. He would serve as Lord Marshal of England, four kings in all: Henry II, Richard I, John, and Henry III. Although Marshal did not become the jure uxoris 1st Earl of Pembroke, Earl of Striguil until 1199, he nevertheless assumed overlordship of Leinster in Ireland, Pembroke Castle, Chepstow Castle, as well as Isabel's other castles in Wales such as the keep of Haverford, Tenby, Lewhaden, Narberth, Stackpole.[10] Shortly after their marriage, Marshal and Isabella arrived in Ireland, at Old Ros, a settlement located in the territory which belonged to her grandfather, Dermot MacMurrough. A motte was hastily constructed, a medieval borough quickly grew around it, and afterwards the Marshals founded the port town by the river which subsequently became known as New Ross. The Chronicles of Ros, which are housed in the British Museum, described Isabella and Marshal's arrival in Ireland and records that Isabella set about building a lovely city on the banks of the Barrow. In 1192, Isabel and her husband assumed the task of managing their vast lands; starting with the rebuilding of Kilkenny Castle and the town, both of which had been damaged by the O'Brien clan in 1173. Later they commissioned the construction of several abbeys in the vicinity. | De Clare, Isabel Countess of Pembroke (I4404)

| 84 | Walter de Beauchamp, 4th Baron of Elmley.

He married Bertha Braose, daughter of William, Lord Braose, by whom he had sons Walcheline and James. Of this nobleman we find further that being one of the barons-marchers he gave security to the king for his faithful services (with the other lords-marchers) until peace should be fully settled in the realm; and for better performance thereof gave up James, his younger son, as a hostage. | De Beauchamp, Walter Governor of Hanley Castle (I105)
