Thomas, Earl of Lancaster (c. 1278 - March 22, 1322) was one of the leaders of the baronial opposition to Edward II of England. Thomas was the eldest son of Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl of Lancaster and Blanche of Artois. His paternal grandparents were Henry III of England and Eleanor of Provence. His maternal grandparents were Robert I of Artois and Matilda of Brabant. Matilda was a daughter of Henry II, Duke of Brabant. From his father Thomas inherited the Earldoms of Lancaster, Leicester, and Derby. By his marriage to Alice de Lacy, Countess of Lincoln, daughter of Henry de Lacy, 3rd Earl of Lincoln, he became Earl of Lincoln, Earl of Salisbury and the 11th Baron of Halton upon the death of his father-in-law in 1311. Master of five earldoms, he was one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in England. He served in the coronation of his cousin, King Edward II of England, on February 25, 1308, carrying Curtana, the sword of St Edward the Confessor. At the beginning of the king's reign, Lancaster openly supported Edward, but as the conflict between the king and the nobles wore on, Lancaster's allegiances changed. He despised the royal favourite, Piers Gaveston, who mocked him as "the Fiddler", and swore revenge when Gaveston demanded that the king dismiss one of Lancaster's retainers. Lancaster was one of the Lords Ordainers who demanded the banishment of Gaveston and the establishment of a baronial oligarchy. His private army helped separate the king and Gaveston, and Lancaster was one of the "judges" who convicted Gaveston and saw him executed. His marriage to Alice de Lacy was not successful. They had no children, though he had two illegitimate sons. In 1317 she was abducted from her manor at Canford, Dorset by Richard de St Martin, a knight in the service of John de Warenne, 8th Earl of Surrey. This incident caused a feud between Lancaster and Surrey; Lancaster divorced his wife and seized two of Surrey's castles in retaliation. King Edward then intervened, and the two earls came to an uneasy truce. Although divorced from his wife, he continued to hold the powerful earldoms of Lincoln and Salisbury. This was due to the marriage contract the two families had agreed, in effect upon the death of his father-in-law, Earl Thomas held these earldoms in his own right, not in right of his wife. Coats of Arms of Edmund Crouchback, Earl of Lancaster, and his successors.After the disaster at Bannockburn in 1314, Edward submitted to Lancaster, who in effect became ruler of England. He attempted to govern for the next four years, but was unable to keep order or prevent the Scots from raiding and retaking territory in the North. In 1318 a new faction of barons arose, and Lancaster was deposed from office. Pontefract Castle, Lancaster's favourite residence.The new leadership, eventually headed by Hugh le Despenser, 1st Earl of Winchester and his son Hugh the younger Despenser, proved no more popular with the baronage, and in 1321 Lancaster was again at the head of a rebellion. This time, however, he was defeated at the Battle of Boroughbridge, and taken prisoner. He was tried by a tribunal consisting of, among others, the two Despensers, Edmund FitzAlan, 9th Earl of Arundel, and King Edward. Lancaster was not allowed to speak in his own defence, nor was he allowed to have anyone to speak for him. Because of their kinship and Lancaster's royal blood, the king commuted the sentence to mere beheading (as opposed to being drawn, quartered, and beheaded) and Lancaster was convicted of treason and executed near Pontefract Castle. Upon his death his titles and estates were forfeited, but in 1323 his younger brother Henry successfully petitioned to take possession of the Earldom of Leicester. In 1326 or 1327 Parliament posthumously reversed Thomas's conviction, and Henry was further permitted to take possession of the Earldoms of Lancaster, Derby, Salisbury and Lincoln. Thomas became venerated as a martyr and saint within a few months of his death. Hagiographies were written about him, and Edward III wrote three times to the Pope requesting his canonisation. He was never canonised, though rumours to that effect arose in the 1390s, when his cult experienced something of a revival. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

THRUSTON, ALGERNON SIDNEY (1801-1864). Algernon Sidney Thruston, soldier and lawyer, was born on May 19, 1801. He married Harriet C. Jacques of St. Louis, MO. They resided in Louisville, Kentucky, where Thruston practiced law. George C. Childress q.v. recommended Thruston to Stephen F. Austin q.v. as a man of quality and a good soldier. Thruston arrived in Houston in September 1837, began practicing law with Henry W. Fontaine, and became involved in local politics. Thruston served as commissary general for the Republic of Texas q.v. in 1837 and as quartermaster general in 1838. Sam Houston q.v. nominated him for attorney general on November 13, 1838, but Mirabeau B. Lamar q.v. became president before the nomination was approved by the Senate, and Thruston never filled the position. He received a headright and bounty certificate from the republic. He was a member of the Masonic Holland Lodge No. 1 of Houston and was a charter member of the Grand Lodge of Texas. He died on March 5, 1864.

Traveling was a slow and laborious undertaking in the “1800’s” when my mother came across the desert country with two small children, my brother Bob and I, via covered wagon drawn by oxen, alternating with horses. My father, Joseph Yancey, a southerner, born and reared in Tennessee had preceded us by perhaps a year. We, my mother, brother and I came out with a caravan consisting of about from ten to fifteen wagons. Several armed men on horseback rode as guards.
I was too young to remember much of anything, not quite two years of age. My brother Bob being three years my senior remembered some of the occurrences that took place during the journey and me not wanting to be outdone imagined I could remember as much as he could. To add insult to injury, soon after starting out on the pilgrimage, Bob and I were attacked with whooping cough in a severe form. What a trial for my poor mother. We started from Tucson, Arizona Territory late in July landing in the Julian area (not named yet) the later part of October.
We encountered many obstacles that caused delay. Heavy thunder storms would wash away miles of the shoestring road completely, thus holding up progress to rebuild and repair said road.
It was frequently necessary to make camp for a week at a time to allow the tired and footsore animals to rest. Also for the weary population to rest and make repairs and preparations for resuming the journey.
Apache Indians were a source of apprehensive terror while traveling through the Apache infested territory. Although we were not attacked we encountered in small numbers a band of four or five. If the stock was not carefully guarded they would drive off several head of both horses and cattle.
At Fort Yuma the caravan disbanded. Only a few of the wagons proceeded this way, coming as far as the old Butterfield Stage Station at Vallecito. From there, the small caravan, after resting for several days, proceeded on to San Bernardino and Los Angeles Counties.
We were met at the Butterfield Station by my father who brought us to what is now Julian. We camped in an old cabin somewhere in the Whispering Pines district. During the winter or early spring we returned to the Butterfield Station where we lived for about two years.
We then went to Santa Ysabel where my father was engaged in hay and grain farming for a short time. We then returned to Julian where we remained and in the course of time another brother Frank had come into the family, followed by five little sisters, namely Lola or Nella, Maymie, Nita, Edna, and Belle, making us a family of eight children. Eventually my sisters and brothers were grown and decided to leave Julian and take up residence in other parts of the State. Our mother going also while I remained here. | Yancey, Louisa "Lula" (I2995)

Louis Hill Gourley was the U.S. Consul to Warsaw, Poland circa 1924. He met my father, Raymond Serge (Sergei Vladimovich Voronkoff) when visiting a Methodist orphanage near Warsaw, Poland in 1923-24, when my dad acted as a translator for him. A friendship was struck and Mr. Gourley subsequently arranged to bring my father to the U.S. and to educate him here. He also encouraged him to use the name Gourley, though I am not sure if any legal adoption took place. I have a formal photo of Mr. Gourley (with his signature) kept with our family papers. My dad was educated in McKenzie Military School in Spring Hill, Tennessee and then at the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa) in 1928-29 where he was enrolled in the School of Commerce. He was a member of Lambda Chi fraternity there, where they referred to him (in the Corolla yearbook) as "the Russian count." (Interestingly enough, I was a faculty member in the School of Library and Information Service on the same campus from 1985-1998!) It is my understanding that Louis Hill Gourley never married. After his appointment in Warsaw, he received a consular appointment in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
My father, Raymond Serge Gourley, was born in Munich, Germany on February 8, 1908. His mother was a Frenchwoman, Marie Catherine Chabredier, from Lyon, France. Born in 1878, she died in San Francisco circa 1953. His father, Vladimir Voronkoff, was the chief surveyor to Tsar Nicholas. He died of typhoid fever during the Russian Revolution (1917). My father served in the U.S. Army, attaining the rank of Major. He was the first Russian instructor hired, in 1946, at the Presidio of Monterey-Army Language School in Monterey, California, where he was chairman of the Russian Department. He married my mother, Frances (Efrosinia) Eliseyevna Kovtynovich in Reno, Nevada on August 13, 1946. My father died in Pebble Beach, California on 25 October 1972. My mother was born in Kisselyovka,Chernobya,Ukraine on 13 September 1912 and died in Carmel on 11 November 1978.
I was born in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California on April 29, 1948 and my sister, Frances Tamara Gourley Rutherford, followed on September 24, 1949. There's more, but this is probably enough for the moment! | Gourley, Louis Hill (I14427)
