Hildene and the Robert Todd Lincoln family
Hildene
Hildene - Historic Home of Robert Todd Lincoln in Manchester, Vermont
The PBS special, "Abraham and Mary Lincoln: A House Divided" has renewed a lot of interest in the Lincoln's and their kin. The beautiful Hildene, the home of Abraham and Mary's son, Robert Todd Lincoln, is a good place to start. Hildene is remarkably reminescent of the ancient home of Landon Carter, Sabine Hall (pictured below), located on Virginia's Northern Neck...which also shares Lincoln/Todd roots. (See post below)
Sabine Hall
Robert Todd Lincoln & the Lincoln Family
Robert Todd Lincoln, the only son of President Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln to survive to maturity, married Mary Harlan, the 22 year old daughter of a U.S. Senator from Iowa. They had three children - Mary, Abraham II and Jessie. Abraham II, their only son, died at the young age of 16. Mary married Charles Isham and had a son, Lincoln Isham. At this point I would direct the reader to composer and musician, Mark Isham, whose music if often as glorious as a Lincoln address.
Jessie bore two children by her first husband, Warren Beckwith -- Robert "Bud" Lincoln Beckwith and Mary "Peggy" Lincoln Beckwith. Peggy never married and was the last Lincoln descendant to occupy Hildene. Lincoln Isham and Robert "Bud" Beckwith both married, but neither bore fruit. Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith died in 1985.
Warren Beckwith's ancestry includes the ancestors of Marmaduke Beckwith of England and Matthew Beckwith of Connecticut.
The Beckwiths
"Mary Lincoln Beckwith, more affectionately known as "Peggy," inherited Hildene in 1938 at the age of 40. She was an active woman with a fondness for animals and a love of the outdoors. Peggy piloted her own planes and flew in and out of Manchester from a hangar and airstrip which existed on Hildene's Meadowlands. Photography, art, sculpting and skiing were just a few of her hobbies. She was known by Manchester residents to be a shy, but generous and caring person. Never married, Peggy lived at Hildene until her death in 1975."

In the 13th century the monasteries owned much of the land and had granges where sheep were grazed. The monks used tracks, such as Scotland Lane and Staircase Lane, as they travelled from their outlying granges to Kirkstall Abbey. At the dissolution of the monasteries Henry VIII gave the land to the Earl of Cumberland. In the 16th century the Dyneley family moved into the area and acquired Bramhope Hall. In 1649 they built the Puritan Chapel, which was taken over by the Church of England after the Restoration.

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.

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)

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.
