Robin Hood, Beckwith and Little John
ROBIN HOOD'S YORKSHIRE
Campsall Church
Campsall Church is very ancient and reputed to be the place where Robin and Marian were married. Near the end of the Geste, Robin begs the King to allow him to return to the north to pray at the chapel of St. Mary Magdalen in Barnsdale. The Cluniac priory of Monk Bretton, near Robin Hood's Well, is dedicated to that saint, as too was Campsall and one of the chantry chapels in Wakefield. The Magdalen cult was strongly involved with the legends of the Holy Grail, the Merovingian royal family in France, Knights Templar and the medieval Cathar heresy, although it is not certain whether any of these influences had found their way into the English Church.
Campsall
"CAMPSALL, a parish-town, in the wapentake of Osgoldcross, liberty of Pontefract; (the seat of the Rev. E.B. Frank,) 8 miles N. of Doncaster and Pontefract, 9 from Ferrybridge, 30 from York. Pop. 389. The Church is a vicarage, dedicated to St. Mary Magdalen, in the deanry of Doncaster, value ~£16. 16s. 8d. p.r. !£120. Patron, Cook Yarbrough, Esq.
The Church of St. Mary Magdalene, Campsall

Sandal Castle & The De Warrennes
In Norman times, Wakefield was held by the De Warenne Earls of Surrey. However, by 1157, they had abandoned their castle there for a strong position above the River Calder, two miles further south at Sandal Magna.

The History of Lathom House
Records indicate the construction of the original house on the site in the 12th century as principal residence of the Lathom family. In the early 15th century the Lathom and Stanley families were joined by the marriage of Isabel de Lathom and Sir John Stanley, the younger son of Thomas the first Earl of Stanley, later to be made Earl of Derby following the battle of Bosworth in 1485. In 1496 the house was substantially remodelled into a substantial fortress by the Earl in preparation for a visit by his father-in-law King Henry VII.
Stanley, John Saunders, Shenstone etc
Descendants of David Lloyd
David Lloyd of Mathavarn, Merioneth, Wales. Born about 1402.
It is conjecture that the David Lloyd who had son Evan also had son John who married Mallt, d. of Hugh ap Ievan. It is likely that these David's are a good 40 years apart in age. If they are one and the same person however, David probably married Damasen d.of Thomas Ireland, late in life and it is likely that there was a large discrepancy in their age, she being very young. (Conjectured from C-437, p. 575 & 579)
It is the father of Evan ap David LLoyd that the rest of this information applies. David's full name was David Lloyd ap Llewelyn. He was from Mathavarn and had an extensive estate on both sides of the Dyvi above Machynlleth. He was a voluminous poet, a Barrd, a Brudiwr (a Prophet) with numerous enigmatical predictions to his credit. He is said to have been the "Esq'r of the body of Henry VII."
Several of his writings are still in existence. When Richmond won Bosworth, the Welsh bards celebrated the victory in their addresses to Henry VII. David's poem of this follows: "King Harry hath fought, and bravely done, Our friend the golden crown hath won; The bards resume a cheerful strain; For the good of the world little R. was slain. That straddling letter, pale and sad, In England's realm no honour had; For ne'er could R. in place of Iowerth (Edward), Rule England's people loyally; Nor stem the foe with puissant hand, Nor on the breach like Edward stand. How odious the vile cur to spy, With withered shank for brawny thigh, Partake the banquet's circling cheer, Where Gloucester's cunning cheats the ear." (C-437, p. 579)
Source: Robert Jesse Harry, The Ancestors and Descendants of Hugh Harry and Elizabeth Brinton.
Found this fascinating tidbit about Mathavarn:
They live in caves, secret regions of the mountains & forests. Their homes are hidden from mortal vision. They are called knockers because they knock where there is ore. Their other name is “goat head” [gobhar + ceann]. They were created by the Fomorian giants in year 225 of the Second Age of the Sun. One of their strongholds is Beacon Mountain in Wales. In Germany they guard the salt mines which are the burial places of the dead. They are the servants of the goddess Nessa, The Loch Ness Monster. When seen above ground they dance the Morris dance in circles. The Bogle has the 29th of March as a celebration day in Scotland. The Dancing Place of the Goblin is at Ffridd y Ywen: The Forest of Yew at Mathavarn, Llanwrin, Wales. A magical yew-tree grows exactly in the middle of the forest.

The result of these plotting is as follows: a constellation of points is formed which composes a rough circle around what was in 1777 a triangular, 151-acre parcel of land. The tract was one of two almost-touching but distinct parcels purchases on December 23 of that year by Griffin Murdock Fauntleroy-the same well-bred planter who was one of Joseph Hanks' employers in 1781. The road for which Joseph Hanks was surveyor (i.e., maintenance inspector) nearly touched this tract of land at the tract's northwestern corner. What is more, the lands owned or leased by the other four court appointees who lived in the neighborhood effectively box in the 151-acre Fauntleroy tract on two of its three sides. Fauntleroy himself, it has been learned, lived on the other of two tracts he purchased in North Farnham Parish in 1777-the one just a little to the east, which bordered on Farnham Creek and Richard Beale's plantation. The 151-acre piece was a less desirable, rather swampy, and largely wooded property.
Teh writer concludes that it is likely-but not certain-that Joseph Hanks and his family resided in the central or western portion of this 151-acre tract of land owned by Hanks' co-employer Griffin Murdock Fauntleroy. But it is certain, in his judgement, taht they lived within half a mile of a point in the north-central portion of that tract. The location is within three miles of the Rappahannock River and the modern community of Sharps. The tract adjoined or was near the back boundaries of several of the grand Rappahannock riverfront plantations of the era: Woodford, Woodberry, Milden Hall, Riverdale, and Hornby Manor-as they were called at that time, or a little later.

On 2 August 1727 at Richmond Co., Virginia, was recorded in the court records "Joseph Bragg is appointed surveyor of the highways for this ensuing year from Rappahannock Bridge to Colls Carter's Mill and from the upper bridge by John Metcalfe's Mill into Westmoreland County and from the main road by Leonard Dozier's to Duke Beckwith's Mill and from the said road by John ___ plantation to Pantill run and from Michael Windor's ___ field along the Howling road to Lisson's Landing and ordered that he forewith clear all the said roads according to law.
See Omohundro Millpond, which is, I think, nearby.

Warwick CAMMOCK appears in numerous Virginia records over the next ten years, but "mysteriously" disappears after 28 Feb 1679/80 when "Warwick CAMMOCK and Bethridge (her mark) HENSLE make a sworn statement concerning Mr. Fran: DOUGHTY delivering a cow to Adam WOFENDALE for the use of Thom: WINDOR.

The tithes, which had belonged to the living in Saxon times, were taken possession of by Ralph de Paganell, one of William the Conqueror's barons, who handed them over to the Abbey of Marmontre, in Touraine, and this church was thenceforth served by the canons of the priory of Holy Trinity, York, which was a cell to that abbey. At the Dissolution these tithes were granted to Sir Leonard Beckwith, and were ultimately bought, in 1556, by Sir William Fairfax, Knight, of Steeton. In this family they remained as private property till they came into the hands of the great Lord Fairfax, who gave them to his domestic chaplain, Thomas Strellon - a non-conforming minister - on condition of his finding "a preaching minister to officiate at Bilbrough." Lord Fairfax, by his will, left these tithes in trust for ever with his family for a preaching minister.

Dover
Dover was built for James Morson, a lawyer from Fredericksburg who was married to Ellen Bruce. She was raised at Berry Hill; her father, James Coles Bruce was one of the wealthiest men in the nation. Dover's interior was a sumptuous display of classical detailing.
Mannsfield
The measurements of the main house at Mannsfield, 69 by 51 feet, were almost exactly those of Mount Airy. Mann Page III, the builder of Mannsfield, was married to Mary Tayloe of Mount Airy.
Greenway Court
At Greenway Court, in what was then the backwoods, Thomas, sixth Baron Fairfax of Cameron, positioned himself to administer effectively the rent and sale of his five-million-acre inheritance, the Northern Neck proprietary. He changed to frontier garb and became a recluse.

The measurements of the main house at Mannsfield, 69 by 51 feet, were almost exactly those of Mount Airy. Mann Page III, the builder of Mannsfield, was married to Mary Tayloe of Mount Airy.
Greenway Court
At Greenway Court, in what was then the backwoods, Thomas, sixth Baron Fairfax of Cameron, positioned himself to administer effectively the rent and sale of his five-million-acre inheritance, the Northern Neck proprietary. He changed to frontier garb and became a recluse.

Beckwith Collection brings Indian Culture to Life
Beckwith Collection brings Indian Culture to Life
FROM THE ARTICLE:
When Jim Phillips leads tours of schoolchildren through display cases filled with bowls and other artifacts from the University Museum's Beckwith Collection, he points out that the things in their own cupboards at home could end up in a museum in a thousand years.
"We want to get them thinking that this is not a dead people," the curator of the Beckwith Collection said. "These are things they used every day."
The Collection is a product of the work and collections of Thomas Beckwith, and is located in Missouri. This is from the university:
The Museum's archaeological display features representative artifacts from the Thomas Beckwith Collection, which contains nine hundred whole ceramic vessels and effigy fragments plus approximately two thousand lithics. Most of the objects in the collection were excavated by Thomas Beckwith at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries from mounds on his property in southeast Missouri. In 1913, Beckwith donated his collection to the Third District Normal School, the predecessor to Southeast Missouri State University. Since 1976, the Collection has been housed in the Southeast Missouri Regional Museum. Today the Collection provides unique insights into the culture and lives of prehistoric Native peoples of this region.
