My Tancre Family History
This part of my family, through my G3 grandmother, Lucretia Tankersley, has a long history dating back
to a town that was built around 900 AD in South Yorkshire, England.
I had a difficult time accessing a good enough Anglo-Saxon dictionary to figure out what the name
Tanchere means. Tanchere is a personal Saxon name that comes from Þanc (thanc) → tanc [agreeable] +
hére [dignity, majesty], Agreeable Majesty. Being set apart by its meadow, the town became known as
the meadow (leia, pronounced “lee”) of Tanchere. or Tancresleia. Over time, Tancresleia (Tanchere's
meadow) would evolve into Tankersley (Lit.: Tanchere's Leia), so a Tancre (pronounced “Tanker”) like
myself is an agreeable majesty. Tancres descended from Tankersley, however, are descended the town
from the meadow, namely one of the three parishes of South Yorkshire that became a flourishing town
about 900 AD.
The earliest written record of a Tancre may be found recorded in the "Domesday Survey” of 1086, written
in Latin that pretty much indicated that the town was already well established and populated by that year.
In that record, the town is listed as "Tancresleia" and not " Tankersley." In addition to the “Domesday
Survey” of 1086, into the 1300s, the "Yorkshire Archaeological Society" Record Series [Vol. LIV. For
the year 1915, page 23] states:
In 1372 a feoffee for the manor of Elland and a moiety of the manor of Tankersley (Yorkshire
Fines, 1347-77, page 157.)
This Elland mentioned here may be related to Hugh de Eland, husband of Ales Tankersley or someone
from that family.
The Domesday Survey
Thanks to the “Domesday Survey” of 1086, commissioned by William the Conqueror, Duke of
Normandy, in December 1085, we are able to have a detailed description about the geography of the lands
that William the Conqueror invaded in 1066 after defeating the Anglo-Saxon king Herold II at the Battle
of Hastings, which is how William became the king of England. In 1085 England was again threatened
with invasion, this time from Denmark. William had to pay for the mercenary army he hired to defend
his kingdom. To do this he needed to know what financial and military resources were available to
him. The first draft was completed in August 1086 and contained records for 13,418 settlements in the
English counties south of the rivers Ribble and Tees (the border with Scotland at the time).
The name “Domesday” comes from the Christian concept of Judgment Day, when Christ is foretold to
come and judge the living and the dead, known as Doomsday.
Page |3
Written in Latin, the Domesday Book is the starting point of history for the majority of towns and
villages in England. It lists places, landowners and tenants, tax assessments, cultivated land,
numbers of oxen and plough teams, property values, legal claims, illegal activity and social
classes such as freemen, villeins, smallholders, cottagers, slaves, priests and burgesses.
The total value of all property in England in 1086 was calculated at £75,000 - which in today's
money would be £1 trillion. The dozen wealthiest individuals were each richer than any later
billionaires in English history, with fortunes ranging from the equivalent of £56bn to £104bn
today.1
There is a parish and church in Tankersley, England, called "The Parish and Church of St. Peter, South
Yorkshire." The first Tancre was Richard de Tankerle, a priest at the parish in 1089. I’m not sure if my
Tancres are related, but so far, I have been able to authenticate my line to Sir Henry de Tankersley, b.
1595 in Wortly, England, d. 1690 inYorkshire, England. However, we remain uncertain whether the
Henry documented as our Reuben’s father is our Henry or another Henry. We also are uncertain whether
our Henry is the one married to Lady Agnes Pictaveus. Authentication is hopefully forthcoming.
Wortley is one of three shires near Sheffield, England, so it very well could be our Henry, the other two
locales being Pilly and Tankersley. I need help either authenticating that the following information in red
font below is true or correcting it. I highly doubt they are correct.
Tankeresleia
Tankeresleia was an 1800 acre Lordship and was held prior to the Norman Conquest by Ledwin, a Saxon
Lord. William the Conqueror deprived Ledwin of his Lands and gave the land to Earl Meriton (or
Moreton), and it passed down several generations and passed to a family who assumed the name “de
Tankersley”.
TANKERSLEY Castle Recorded in Society Pages
The small town of TANKERSLEY has a manor (or castle)—more correctly, has the remains of one that
still stand today. Again, we don't know for sure how old the town and manor (castle) are. Tradition
claims the manor was built around 900 AD. The earliest written record of TANKERSLEY may be found
in the Doomsday Survey of 1086 [as noted below].
A TANKERSLEY Church?
There is a parish and church in Tankersley, England, called, "The Parish and Church of St. Peter, South
Yorkshire." It seems the church has been there since before 1086 - that's the year the first priest is listed
in the rector.
TANKERSLEY Is Called Both Tancresleia and TANKERSLEY
There are no known records indicating when the town of Tancresleia, or Tankersley, was built or
established. The town was called by the names Tancresleia and Tankersley for several centuries. [The
earliest written record of Tankersley [town of Tancresleia] may be found] recorded in the "Doomsday
Survey of 1086" indicating the town was already well established and populated by that year. In that
record, the town is listed as "Tancresleia" and not " Tankersley." [In that record, the town is listed as
"Tancresleia" and not "TANKERSLEY."] In addition to the Doomsday Survey of 1086, [Later in the
1300's,] the "Yorkshire Archaeological Society" Record Series, Vol. LIV. For the year 1915, page 23,
states:
In 1372 a feoffee for the manor of Elland and a moiety of the manor of Tankersley
(Yorkshire Fines, 1347-77, page 157.)

The Town of TANKERSLEY Has A Manor (Castle)
The town of Tancresleia (or TANKERSLEY) currently has the ruins of a manor (or castle). Certain
information suggests that both the town of Tancresleia and the Tancresleia Manor (or Castle) were built at
the same time around 900 AD.
The Town Is Distinctively English
The original town of TANKERSLEY, which was built around 900, is located near Sheffield, which is a
city, county, parliamentary borough of West Riding in South Yorkshire, England. The English "borough"
is a town with a municipal corporation and rights to self-government granted by royal charter; a town that
sends one or more representatives to Parliament; and any fortified town larger than a village. The English
"shire" is any of the former districts or regions in Great Britain coinciding generally with the modern
county.
Sheffield, a very common borough in England, is located "central, north central" in England. It is 43
miles SE of Manchester and 159 miles NNW of London. It is a short distance north of the center of
England. There are three small towns in Sheffield namely—TANKERSLEY, Pilley, and Wortley. These
are just minutes apart from each other. They are closely related to each other in every respect, and are
heavily dependent upon one another (or at least have been in past centuries).
English Law Require Surnames for Families
Around 1100, English law required every person throughout England (and later throughout the British
Empire) to have a surname—which is a second name or family name. As a result of this law, heads of
families registered their surnames with government officials. The selection or choosing of surnames
became an interesting matter.
The surname TANKERSLEY appears to be locational in origin, and is believed to be associated with the
English, meaning, "one who came from, or lived near Tankersley, in South Yorkshire."
Surnames Aid the Government
Before 1100, no nation had ever mandated their people to have more than one name. Then
however, around that time the need for surnames did in fact become necessary. By having more
than one name, the government could keep track of people easier when it came time to:
o
o
o
o
Tax the people
Conduct census of the population
Determine number of people available for military service
Document or record royal blood lines (lineage), etc.
The First TANKERSLEY Person on Record
The very first person to use the name Tankersley seems to be Richard Tankersley in 1086, a priest of the
Tankersley Church. There exists today a copy of all the "Rectors of Tankersley" (or priests of the
Tankersley Church) since its beginning for the "Parish and Church of St. Peter, Tankersley, in the Diocese
of Sheffield." It shows the very first priest to be Richard Tankersley. We find the following statement in
the Tankersley Church:
Rectors of TANKERSLEY
1086 A Priest Richard de Tankerle
Richard Was From Town Of TANKERSLEY, Not TANKERSLEY Family
Note that Richard spelled his name T-A-N-K-E-R-L-E. As previously mentioned, the TANKERSLEY
name has many variants of spelling. It is suspected that Richard did not assume the TANKERSLEY
name as his surname, but rather only to indicate that he was “from” or “of” the town of TANKERSLEY.
Of course, it remains that he must be one of the earlier TANKERSLEY ancestors.

Tankersley, South Yorkshire, England
From Wikipedia
Tankersley is a village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley in South Yorkshire,
England. At the 2001 census it had a population of 1,414.2
The village is to the west of junction 36 of the M1 motorway and north of the A61 road. The parish
church of St Peter is to the south of the A61, as is Tankersley Manor, now a hotel. The nave and chancel
of the church are 14th century. the tower 16th century, and the interior mainly 19th century3. It has a
stained glass window designed by Edward Burne-Jones. It was traditional practice for young people to
join hands and form a ring around the church in a ceremony called "Embracing the Church".4
The parish also includes the village of Pilley to the north and the Wentworth Park Industrial Estate to the
west of Tankersley village. Tankersley Post Office is part of a general store in Pilley.
It was the site of a battle in the English Civil War 1643.5
Tankersley has been represented in the FA Cup by two football clubs over the years - Tankersley F.C. and
Tankersley United F.C.6
Later, the Town and Church of TANKERSLEY Flourished
Centuries later, we find the following statement at the TANKERSLEY Church:
The Parish of TANKERSLEY was for many years one of the richest livings in the North of
England, if not in the country. Tithe records for the early years of the 18th century show an
income of over One thousand Pounds from tithes alone.7
A. Lineage From Enfulsus qui erat apud Conquestum
The following line is a different genealogical line than mine, but I am presenting it to show that Sir
Rychard Tankersley is not connected any Tancre line.
A1. En-fulsus qui erat apud Conquestum [En-fulsus aka Enfulus de TANKERSLEY]
B. c. 1075
 A1.1. Jordanus filius Enfalsi
[Jordan de Tankersley]
B. c. 1100
The first Tancre was Richard de Tankerle in 1087, so if this person was born in the 1060s and even mid1070s, he can be identified as none other than En-Fulsus Qui Erat Apud Conquestum which means
“Enlightened one who was in Conquest” and it may suggest that he was a revered priest amidst the
conflicts transpiring during the Crusades.

The Thirteenth Century
It is interesting to note that the first two priests of the Tankersley Parish were as follows: Rectors of
Tankersley 1086 A Priest -- Richard de Tankerle and 1225 A Priest -- William de Tankerle. There is a
gap of time between the first two priests, which several gaps of time are found through the centuries at
this church. During some of those gaps, England was at war with invaders, etc. Also, certain English
kings caused some of those gaps when they persecuted the Church. So, for periods of time, there were no
Churches or priests unless they went underground.
There is found a miscellaneous note stating the following: and before 1225 there is a note of Henry de
Tankerle presenting his son, Richard, to the Benefice. Henry Tankersley might have become a priest
during this gap of time and never officially recorded in the annals. There is no more available
information at this time on Henry.
Richard de Tankersley was the first person to use the Tankersley name. This however, does not mean that
his whole family used the surname of Tankersley. It only means that Richard himself personally used the
name. It doubtful if any family "as a whole" in the year 1086 used a surname, although certain
individuals did.
According to the research in the British Museum, which helps to uncover the history of the family as a
whole, the Tankersley family began with a Dolphyn de Tankersley who was recorded as being alive in

1200 AD. This was established by reference to the Harleian Manuscripts (No 4630, page 615 -"Herald's Visitation of Yorkshire"). [Reference]9

Notes:
Key to The Ancient Parish Registers of England and Wales by A. M. Burke.
Parish = Tankersley
County = York
Earliest Entry = 1598
According to the Burke's General Armory in England, the Tankersley Arms are recorded as
follows: Gu. two bars betw. nine martlets ar. three, three, and three. When translated, the arms
description is: red, two horizontal bars between nine silver birds without feet, three, three, three.
Family mottoes are believed to have originated as battle cries in medieval times.
A statement about the Tankersley Coat of Arms is found as follows: This coat of arms was in
existence long before heraldic records were kept, the Visitation of 1585 being held to establish

the rights of those who claimed coats of arms to display them. Like many dating from the earlier
times, it carried no crest or motto--these were added to heraldry much later. The Tankersley Coat
of Arms was allowed to Sir George Savill, as a quartering, at the Visitation of York.
The Family arms are without crest or motto, and antedate the establishment of the College or
Arms in London, where a record of them may be found and a copy obtained. They are described
as: "Arms: Argent, on a bend gules, three scallops, or." They may be found described also in
Burke's "Record of Arms, or General Armory." This coat of arms was allowed to Sir George
Savill, as a quartering, at the visitation of York in 1585. When and to whom the first grant was
made is not recorded, but it is said by well informed persons that it was at a time when the use of
crests and mottoes was unknown, and that the pictorial legend and figures in the coat of arms of
the Tankersley family carry its origin back to the crusades. [Reference]

At this point, a Richard Tankersley, b. 1570, and a Sarah Thornhill were created to fictitiously connect us
to En-fulsus qui erat apud Conquestum. In the process of updating the information and correcting it,
Richard, b. 1570, wound up having a brother named Sir Rychard, b. c. 1233, meaning that the first guy
was born when his father was 365 years old, and his brother was 337. Yikes! Speak of putting lead in
your pencil, man!
Also note that this genealogy stops as it pertains to the Tankersleys because their son Henry died without
heirs (descendants). Making things up to connect us to someone important like a Native America
princess, as with the Dudley family genealogy, is a very common occurrence in doing genealogy. Wellmeaning people do their best to put their family bibles together to make their family history as complete
as possible and these false connections are created. This is also what happened a lot with the Old and
New Testament. However, in one record, Richard and Sarah have a third child after these two girls; his
name is Henry. Meanwhile, I can only follow Alice’s line to the year 2000 when her last descendant
passed away, and none of her descendants intermarried with Tancres, Fontaines, or anyone else in my
family as far as I know to date.
My Tancre Family Genealogy
1.101. Henry Tankersley, b. 1595
The counterpart to this Henry is Lord Henry de Tankersley, b. c. 1183, son of Dolphin Tankersley, b. c.
1158 whose Tankersley lineage ends with Richard Tankersley, b. c. 1233, due to 1) no males to carry on
the Tankersley name; 2) no intermarriage with Tancres; 3) Ales Le Tyas’ line ending in 2000; 4) Joan’s
line being traced recent enough to know that there were no Tancre intermarriages as far as the 1600s to
make any of the information previously connecting us to En-fulsus qui erat apud Conquestum to have any
P a g e | 10
basis of fact; and 5) Henry had no offspring. When Henry, Reuben’s supposed father, was born and
where, along with any information about him, who he married, etc. remains unknown at this time. I
believe that he was completely made up in order to connect us to En-Fulsus qui erat apud Conquestum.
For all I know, Reuben’s father’s real name could be Rychard or John or George or even Ringo. We do
know that Henry Tankersley is our actual ancestor, so this is where my Tancre history begins for now. I
introduce you now to my ninth great grandfather.

B. 1640 in South Yorkshire, England
1670: M. to Sara Ann Beverly in South Yorkshire, England
B. 1650 in South Yorkshire County, England
D. 1681 in Hanover, King George, Virginia, USA
1699: Settled in Hanover Parish, King George County, Virginia13
Reuben Tankersley, his wife, Sarah Ann, and their children, Richard and George, were the first of our
family to arrive in America from England. Lewis' Topographical Dictionary, published in 1844, states
that Richard and George Tankersley, sons of Rueben Tankersley and his wife Sarah Ann Beverly, landed
in Virginia and settled at Port Royal, near the head of the Rappahannock, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay,
in King George County, Virginia. It is likely that they came from an influential and still wealthy family
because they acquired large estates in the Hanover Parish as Crown Grants, under the reign of Queen
Ann, and later expanded on them by marriage and purchase. [Reference]

Reuben Tankersley and Sarah Ann Beverly, his wife, came to America during the reign of Queen Anne and
settled in King George Co, VA, c. 1708, where they acquired large landed estates by grant from the Crown, by
marriage or by purchase. (Genealogy of the Tankersley Family in the United States, by Charles W Tankersley, 1895,

George Tankersley operated the ferry over Rappahannock River, succeeding William Taliaferro at The Mount,
above present Rappahannock Academy in Caroline County. The ferry cross to land of Joseph Berry near Dogue
Creek in King George County. Taliaferro had been a magistrate of Caroline in 1735. Tankersley was a vertryman
(1723-57) of Hanover Parish, King George, and tabacco inspector at John Moore's tobacco warehouse opposite Port
Royal. Tankersley's will was proved in King George in 1758. (“The Diary of Robert Rose - A View of Virginia by a
Scottish Colonial Parson - 1746-1751”, Edited & Annotated by Ralph Emmett Fall, Port Royal, Virginia, 1977.p.

King George Co, VA: The following were the names of vestrymen between the years 1723 and 1779:-John
Grimsley, Joseph Murdock, Joseph Jones, George Tankersley, Thomas Jett, Thomas Hodges, George Marshall . . .
etc. Whether all these belonged to Hanover parish I think doubtful. ("Old Churches, Ministers, and Families of
Virginia" by Bishop Meade Article LXIII - Parishes in King George County p 186)

Richard moved to America with his parents. By 1699, he had settled in King George County, Virginia
with his brother George. Richard acquired a large estate in Caroline County, Virginia. His wife,
Margaret Rowland was born in America in Richmond County, Virginia. Margaret Rowland is listed as
the daughter of James and Jennett Mathews yet she went by the last name Rowland instead of Mathews.
It is quite possible that she was actually the stepdaughter of James Mathews, and kept the last name of
her real father, Jennett’s first husband Rowland. YES DNA! [Reference]

Richard Tankersley and his family lived in Caroline County, Virginia. Three of Richard Tankersley’s
sons enlisted their service in the Revolutionary War. Richard served in the in the 7th Virginia regiment in
Captain Charles Fleming’s company in 1778. George Edward served as a private in the Virginia Troops
and William served in the Dixon County, North Carolina Continental Line. William was awarded a Land
Grant on February 17, 1824, in Tennessee for his service in the Revolutionary War. Richard’s wife,
Elizabeth Fontaine, was the daughter of James Fontaine and Lucretia Desjarrie. James Fontaine sailed
from Ireland to Virginia in April 1717 with his wife and infant daughter Elizabeth. Their vessel sprung a
leak, and they had to work at the pumps for 26 days and nights to keep from sinking. His brother John,
who had prepared a house for them on his plantation, met them at York Town. John left the plantation in
James’ hands when he fell ill and went to live with his brother-in-law, Matthew Maury.

It is unclear whether all of the listed children from 1.1.2.1.1.4.2. through 1.1.2.1.1.4.8. are all Larkin and
Hannah’s children or Richard’s and Charlotte’s. With no birthdates or other notes, it is difficult to tell, so because of
how Charles and or Rachel listed them, I am going to assume that they are all siblings.

Bennet Tankersley and Laura Gardner prior to this point in the listing are not listed in “GENEALOGY of
The TANKERSLEY Family in The United States” by Charles W. Tankersley, which was printed in 1895.
I initially assumed that it was Bennett Tankersley and Laura Battle; however, this couple’s oldest son was
born two years after this Bennett. I found online a Bennett, b. 1774 in SC, who died in Lincoln County,
TN, married in SC to a Laura Battle/Gardner where their son Littleton is born in 1796 and not 1776.
Based on these facts and other research, I am going to assume thus.

My Fontaine Family Genealogy
Our family name means “spring. Recorded as Fontaine, Fountain, Fountian,
Fontane, Fonteyne, Lafontaine, and others this is an Anglo-French surname. It
is residential for someone who lived near a spring or well, from the pre 7th
century Late Latin word "fontana", or who came from one of several places in
France called Fontane or La Fontaine. The word as fountain was introduced
into England by the Normans after the Invasion of 1066, and rapidly became

quite popular. Residential surnames were amongst the earliest to be created as natural and man-made
features in the landscape provided easily recognisable distinguishing names in the small communities of
the Middle Ages. Locational surnames usually developed when former inhabitants of a place moved to
another area to seek work, and were best identified by the name of their birthplace. An example of an
early church register recording is that of Jacob Fountain, the son of Peter and Mary Fountain, christened
on December 6th 1648 at St. Gabriel's, Fenchurch Street, in the city of London. A coat of arms granted to
the family has the blazon of a red field charged with a gold, and in the chief sinister, a silver cinque. The
first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Hugo de Funteines. This was dated 1202,
in the Pipe Rolls of Kent, during the reign of King John of England, 1199 - 1216. Surnames became
necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was sometimes known as the
Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading
to astonishing variants of the original spelling.37
I believe that the following which is not verifiable belongs before 2.1. Jean below, but all Fontaine
genealogy prior to James the Martyr so far is highly questionable, but yet there is obviously some existing
evidence that we are indeed descended somehow from Jean de la Fontaine, born 1070 A.D. As you go
through this genealogy and the one by William Ballard Fontaine, you will discover a lot of discrepancies
in the dates, but at the same time, you’ll also find a lot of similarities in the genealogical order of names.
B. False But Well Accepted Fontaine Genealogy
For the moment, we’ll not mind the discrepancies in the dates. What is not verified or authenticated, we
will keep in red font. When verified, we’ll automate to normal font.

This marriage is definitely not true because Emma, the oldest of Robert de Beaumont’s children was only
7 years old when he married into the family. Sir Robert was in his 50s when he married Isabel in 1096.

I believe that there are two generations missing between B1.X6 Pierre and B1.X7 Jean due to the age
difference and average life expectancy of that time.
 B1.X5 Jean de la Fontaine
B. Before 1253 in France [B1.X6 Pierre was at most 83 years old]
According to his tomb, he was actually born 1297; however, being a 44 year discrepancy, it is possible
that this is the father of another Jean de la Fontaine, who is the father of B1.X7 Jean.
Based on the information on this line so far, this is the Jean de la Fontaine who was born 1297, died
1375, and is buried at Dijon Cathedral, Dijon, Departement de la Côte-d'Or, Bourgogne, France, but I
believe that there are a couple of generations missing between two of the above ancestors. Meanwhile, I
absolutely believe that this is more closely to accurately tracing my genealogy so far.

Walter de Fontaines‫‏‬
B. about or after 1140
D. 1175 [at about age 35]
In 1159 Philip married Elisabeth of Vermandois, also known as Isabelle, elder daughter of count Raoul I
of Vermandois and Petronilla of Aquitaine. When his brother-in-law died (1167), his wife inherited the
county of Vermandois. This pushed Flemish authority further south, to its greatest extent thus far, and
threatened to completely alter the balance of power in northern France.
Philip and Elisabeth were childless. In 1175, Philip discovered that Elisabeth was committing adultery
and had her lover, Walter de Fontaines, beaten to death. 38
When the call came to liberate the Holy Land from the infidel, Chevalier des Fontaines joined the 3rd
Crusade under their king Philip Augustus and Richard "Coeur de Lion" of England. During the battle
before Acre which began April 13 and lasted until July 8 in the year 1191, Chevalier Fontaine speared to
death an armored elephant which attacked him. The Saracens fought with elephants, whose snouts were
wrapped with brass. Just by wielding their snouts, they could kill a dozen men. For this brave deed,
Chevalier was awarded an elephant's head with tusks elevated for the crest of his Coat of Arms.
Another Fontaine won a naval battle, which gave them for the lower part of their silver shield, a threemasted ship with sails spread and a pennant at the prow.
The connection to the child in the tree is simply a place-holder.39

1297. I also think the dates provide in the information above is guestimated at being too late.
2.1.X10 Jean de la Fontaine, Chevalier (Knight) and Buyonne de Monthibault
For the Fontaine family researcher, it’s important to realize that there has been no evidence surfaced yet
that Jean de la Fontaine, the most famous French fabulist and one of the most widely read French poets
of the 17th century, b. 8 July 1621, d. 13 April 1695, is related to us, except possibly distantly.
This Jean De La Fontaine, actually b. 1297, is believed to have descended from Jean de la Fontaine who
fought in the first Crusade under Godfrey at Jerusalem in 1099 and who established the de la Fontaine
family at Fontenay, anciently prominent in Normandy, Anjou, Maine, Poitou and Picardy which
maintains descent from Arthur, Duke of Brittany.
P a g e | 71
To understand the importance of the de la Fontaine history it is important to understand that
Departement de la Côte-d'Or (Department of the Golden Slope) is a location. The forming of locations
into departments took place on March 4, 1790, during the French Revolution. Of the 83 departments, this
one is located in the eastern part of France which was formed from part of the former province of
Burgundy.
Verification from this point back is needed. From this point forward, for the most part, most of the
information below can be verified or at least one should able to verify. I just have not had the means of
authenticating the information for myself yet.
Our earliest known ancestor married Buyonne de Monthibault in the early fourteenth century. He is
believed to have descended from Jean de la Fontaine who fought in the First Crusade under Godfrey at
Jerusalem in 1099, and who established the de la Fontaine family of Fontenay, anciently prominent in
Normandy, Anfou, Maine, Poitou, and Picardy which maintains descent from Arthur, Duke of Brittany.40

If our records were correct, then that would mean that his father was 78 years old when he was born.
Not only that, his father died eight years after his birth. The information on father and son provide good
reason to be skeptical. He is also said to be born about 1400 in other records.

2.1.X15 Jean de la Fontaine AKA James The Martyr
B. 1500 in Maine, near the borders of Normandy, France [Maine-et-Loire, Pays de la Loire, France]
The following excerpt was writting by my 10th great uncle.
He was born in the province of Maine, about the year 1500, and as soon as he was old enough to bear
arms, his father procured him a commission in what was then called Les ordonnances du Roi in the
household of Francis I of France. It was in the tenth or twelfth year of this monarch’s reign that he
entered his service, and he conducted himself so honourably and uprightly, that even after his father and
himself had embraced Protestantism at its first preaching in 1535, he remained in the same situation, and
continued there during the reigns of Henry II of France, Francis II of France, and until the second year
P a g e | 73
of Charles IX. He married, and had at least four sons, when he retired from a service in which he had
remained so long, only as a sort of safe-guard from persecution. The king’s officers were protected by
right of their office; and our ancestor, it would appear, was much beloved by all his Juniors in the
service, which made the Roman Catholic party afraid to meddle with him, though at the same time they
thirsted for his blood, not only on account of his exemplary piety, but of the exercise of a power his office
conferred upon him, and which he had freely used, of assisting the poor Protestants, many of whom he
had shielded from persecution.
Resigned his commission about 1562 and retired to his estate in Maine where he actively supported the
Protestant Church. In 1563, he, his wife, one son, and a faithful valet were assassinated by a group of
ruffians from the city of Le Mans who had been dispatched by members of the Catholic Church.41
From the year 1534 to April 1598, when Henry IV of France granted the Edict of Nantes, the professors
of the pure faith were continually subjected to every variety of injustice and cruelty, as you have read in
the history of France
Religion: French Huguenot (French Protestants)

B. 1510 Maine, Charente, Poitou-Charentes, France
D. May 10, 1563 in Maine, Charente, Poitou-Charentes, France
D. May 10, 1563 in Maine-et-Loire, Pays de la Loire, France [Le Maus, Maine, France]
Together with his wife,42 Jean was murdered in his house in the city of Le Maus, Maine, France because
of their religion… they were murdered by Catholic troops in 1563. The fortified château at Sévilly, just
outside the small town of Ste.-Sabine-sur-Longève in the Department of La Sarthe, France, is still
standing. The house was identified through meticulous research by Paul Mason of West Sussex, England.
Converted to a protestant (Huguenot) in 1535. At an early age his father Jacques got a commissio] for
Jean in the court of Francis I, in what was called ,"Les Ordonnances du Roi". While he was at court and
before 1535 he married his wife.
After he converted, his allegiance to the unpopular faith was known at court, he was retained because of
his honorable conduct and rare abitlities, through the reigns of Francis I, Henry II,and the first two years
of Charles IX minority.
When the Edit of Pacification was pronounced Jan. 17, 1562, Jean thinking the persecution of the
Huguenots had ended, resigned his comission at court and retired to his paternal estates in the province
of Maine. Here he,his wife, their oldest son and a valet were murdered.
Four children:
name unknown; born about 1545. Murdered with his parents.
Jacques (James in English); born about 1548.
Abraham; born about 1551.
name unknown; born about 1554.
To escape the attack and murder of the family members Jacques led his younger siblings to Rochelle, a
protestant stronghold on the coast, where a shoemaker took them in.43

On May 10, 1563, a group of Catholic fanatics were dispatched from
the city of Le Mans to attack John's house at night. He was taken by
surprise, was dragged out of doors, and had his throat cut. His wife,
who was within a few weeks of her confinement, rushed after him in the
hope of softening the hearts of these midnight assassins and inducing
them to spare the life of her husband. They murdered her also. A
faithful valet shared the same fate. It is believed that the oldest son,
about eighteen, was also massacred. John left at least two sons, James

A shoemaker took them in and taught Jacques II how to mend and to make shoes. He not only supported
himself and his brothers on his meager wages, but soon was able to establish his own business, in which
he prosperred. He married in the early part of 1603 and his first son Jacques III was born the same year.
After his wife's untimely death, Jacques remarried. His wife, apparently in order to inherit his fortune,
tried to poison him. Prompt medical attention saved his life. In spite of Jacques' efforts to hush up the
poison attempt, his wife was tried and condemned to death. Upon learning that King Henry IV was
visiting at la Rochelle, Jacques applied to him for a pardon for his wife.
King Henry IV "wanting to judge from the man's appearance whether there was an excuse for the wife's
act", de-manded that Jacques appear before him. When he saw him, he
shouted, "Let her be hanged, let her be hanged. He is the handsomest man
in my Kingdom".45
When Jacques II died in 1633, he left his family 9,000 livres, which was
then considered a sizeable fortune.

1688: Disliking the Church of Englands' persecution of the Presbyterians and their unfriendly
attitude toward the Huguenots, he ceased to worship in the Church and asked to be examined for
the ministry by the Presbyterian Synod meeting at Taunton.
June 10, 1688: His holy orders were received from them. He began his ministry by serving his
fellow Huguenots. Needing other financial means, Jaques or James established a small cloth
weaving business for himself and fellow Huguenots. By devising a method of weaving a superior
cloth, known as Calimanco, he became a competitor to the English weavers who soon forced him
to close up shop and leave Taunton in 1694. He moved his family to Bear Haven on the Irish
coast of Cork.
1699: Moved his family to Bear Haven, on the Irish coast of Cork, Ireland, preaching and
teaching and where he fished and farmed and later maintained a fort. Was captured and held for
ransom by French Privateers. Later moved to Dublin where he resided until his death.
1709: Established a classical preparatory school in St. Stephens Green

1711: M. to Lucretia Desjarrie (possibly Des Jardins) in the Diocese of Cork and Ross, Ireland
P a g e | 80
Possible granddaughter of Hugh Des Jarrie, brother of St. Gilbert Des Jarrie, Chevalier (Knight)
of Malta of Aubière, France51 who was born in 1585.
B. 1690 in County Cork, Ireland
D. December 28, 1739 in King William County, Virginia
Burial: Bruington Baptist Church Cemetery, Bruington, King and Queen County, Virginia, USA
Doing the genealogical research on the Des Jarrie line is quite difficult; however, the city of Jarrie,
France, whence came the name of Jarries or the Jarrois or Jarroises, is located in the department Isère
located in the region Auvergne Rhône Alpes in France. The English version of the word is “jarrow” as
in the English city called Jarrow.
The Angles re-occupied a 1st-century Roman fort on the site of Jarrow in the 5th century. Its
name is recorded around AD 750 as Gyruum, representing Old English [æt] Gyrwum = "[at] the
marsh dwellers", from Anglo-Saxon gyr = "mud", "marsh". Later spellings are Jaruum in 1158,
and Jarwe in 1228. Today Jarrow residents' popular nickname for Jarrow is "Jarra".52
The area of Jarrie in France is 1326 hectares (13.26 km2 or 3276.617358 acres) with an altitude
minimum of 259 meters (849.737533 feet) and a maximum of 733 meters (2404.855643 feet). The
inhabitants are called Jarriods or Jarrois. Jarroises are a family of nobility that somehow got lost in
history, but how Lucretia, a daughter of a Jarrois, became born in Ireland is a mystery. At any rate, we
now at least know that her name is mud.
April 1717: Sailed to Virginia with Lucretia, Lucretia’s mother, and their daughter Elizabeth,
arriving at Williamsburg in October 1717 and proceeded to a plantation near West Point, in King
William County, VA
October 1717: Migrated to Yorktown, Virginia
27 March 1718: received a letter from his brother-in-law Matthew Maury, husband of his sister Mary
Ann, whom he had married in Dublin in 1716.
22 April 1718: went to Williamsburg where he found his brother-in-law Matthew Maury

In a book called “Old King William Homes and Families: An Account of Some of the Old Homesteads and
Families of King William County, Virginia” by Peyton Neale Clarke, it says that Peter was born in 1696. This is
incorrect. 2.1.X15.2.3.11.7. Francis was born in September 16, 1696, and 2.1.X152.3.11.4. Peter was born December

James Maury (1718-1769) was a prominent Virginia educator and Anglican cleric during the American
Colonial period. He was a figure in the notable lawsuit that became
known as "The Parson's Cause" in 1763, in which the young attorney
Patrick Henry argued that the colony had the right to establish its
own method of payment to clergy (which had been vetoed by the
Crown).
Born in Dublin of French Protestant "Huguenot" descent, James
Maury came to the Virginia colony as an infant with his parents. He
became educated and attended The College of William and Mary. He
went to England to become ordained as an Anglican minister in 1741.
He established his own classical school for boys, where he taught the
young Thomas Jefferson among others.
In February 1742, Maury went to England and was ordained as an Anglican cleric of the
established Church of England. Returning to Virginia, Maury was in charge for one year

of a parish in King William County and then served for 18 years in Louisa County at
Fredericksville Parish.[1] He was highly regarded for his piety and learning. Maury was
in charge of his parish until his death on June 9, 1769.68

Actor/manager Ludlow established a chain of theaters: first along the Mississippi & later along the Ohio
& Missouri Rivers. The theater featured actors, ballet dancers & circus performers in order to appeal to
all audiences. Ludlow's troupe traveled to Lousiana where they performed "The Honeymoon," the first
play ever performed in Natchez. The troupe then traveled to New Orleans, Nashville & finally St. Louis,
where they joined with some amateur actors in a theatre in 1819. This was the first time theatre had been
performed West of the Mississippi.71

Matthew Fontaine Maury (January 14, 1806 – February 1, 1873), United States Navy, was an American
astronomer, historian, oceanographer, meteorologist, cartographer, author, geologist, and educator.
He was nicknamed "Pathfinder of the Seas" and "Father of Modern Oceanography and Naval
Meteorology" and later, "Scientist of the Seas," due to the publication of his extensive works in his books,
especially The Physical Geography of the Sea (1855), the first extensive and comprehensive book on
oceanography to be published. Maury made many important new contributions to charting winds and
ocean currents, including ocean lanes for passing ships at sea. 72

B. A de la Fontaine Genealogy: Michael Strong’s Family Tree
Provided By Karen Nichols-Rexwall73
The following has been researched but not verified yet by Karen Nichols-Rexwall
I have to note first that the above genealogy and this one are definitely connected, but the information
between the two are difficult to synchronize between Jean de la Fontaine b. 1297, and James the Martyr,
b. 1500. However, after careful study of the genealogy below by William Ballard Fontaine, you discover
that they look alike but they are actually completely different branches of the Fontaine family tree than
this one by Karen Nichols-Rexwall and the one above that I gathered through numerous verifying sources
such as birth, death, marriage, and other records, tombstone pictures, diaries, and so forth, but even still
the family tree I gathered together has many questionable gaps and questions that complicate this
research.

B1. Jean de la Fontaine
B. c. 1070 in Bourgoyne, France
1109: M. into de Beaumont Family
Daughter of Robert de Beaumont
I find it difficult to believe that he would marry a 7 year old and have a child around age 9 or 10.
 B1.1. Etienne de la Fontaine
B. After 1109 in France [after B1. Jean was about 39 years old]
M. into Dus Family
B1.1. Etienne de la Fontaine and [?] Dus
 B1.1.1. Pierre de la Fontaine
B. After 1139 in France [When B1.1. Etienne was at about 20 years old]
M. into the Danette Family
B1.1.1. Pierre de la Fontaine and [?] Danette
 B1.X4 Pierre de la Fontaine
B. After 1170 in France [When B1.X5 Pierre was about 41 years old]
M. to [unknown]
B1.X4 Pierre de la Fontaine and [Unknown]
I believe that there are two generations missing between B1.X6 Pierre and B1.X7 Jean due to the age
difference and average life expectancy of that time.
 B1.X5 Jean de la Fontaine
B. Before 1253 in France [B1.X6 Pierre was at most 83 years old]
According to his tomb, he was actually born 1297; however, being a 44 year discrepancy, it is possible
that this is the father of another Jean de la Fontaine, who is the father of B1.X7 Jean.
Based on the information on this line so far, this is the Jean de la Fontaine that is buried at Dijon
Cathedral, Dijon, Departement de la Côte-d'Or, Bourgogne, France, but I believe that there are a couple
of generations missing between two of the above ancestors. Meanwhile, I absolutely believe that this is
more closely to accurately tracing my genealogy so far.
B1.X5 Jean de la Fontaine and [Unknown]
 B1.X6 Joseph de la Fontaine and [Unknown]
B. btwn. 1263 and 1295 [A 32 year range, meaning before B1.X5 Jean was about 10 years old and
after about 42 years old]
M. into Le Memorie Family
This is the birth date range for Jean de la Fontaine buried at Dijon Cathedral, Dijon, Departement de la
Côte-d'Or, Bourgogne, France.
B1.X6 Joseph de la Fontaine and [?] Le Memorie
 B1.X7 Luc de la Fontaine
B. after 1305 in France
B1.X7 Luc de la Fontaine and [Unknown]
 B1.X8 Charles de Fontaine
B. After 1359 in France [When B1.X9 Luc was about 44 years old]
B1.X8 Charles de Fontaine and [Unknown]

B. After 1432 in France
Btwn. 1450 and 1470 [a 20 year range]: M. to Jeanne de la Remonde
D. 1497 in France
No record of a son named Guy de la Fontaine in this research, but the information on Pierre seems to
match up.
B1.X10 Jean de la Fontaine and Jeanne de la Remonde
 B1.X13 Pierre de la Fontaine (Ecuyer, Seigneur des Fontaines et Berthival, Capitaine de Crespy)
Could this be the real name of Gilles de la Fontaine? It could be based on the dates provided for the two.
B. after 1450 in France
B1.X13 Pierre [Gilles?] de la Fontaine
 B1.X11 Jean de Fontaine [1.1.X5 James the Martyr?]
B. 1500 in St. Lo. Maine Province, Normandie, France
November 25, 1519 : M. Nicole d’Arguillieres [James the Martyr’s fire wife is identified as Guyonne
le Royer whom he married in 1545 in France]
Daughter of Jean d’Arguillieres
D. 1584 in Maine Province, Normandie, France [If James the Martyr, this date is incorrect]
B1.X11 Jean de Fontaine and Nicole d’Argruillieres
Notice that there is no Jacques (James) de la Fontaine II b. 1549 in Rochelle, Poitou Providence, France
which means that B1.X14 Jean is most likely not the same person.

C. A de la Fontaine Genealogy per William Ballard Fontaine
Like the two Fontaine genealogies above this one begins with Jean de la Fontaine b. c. 1070. This is the
starting point for all three, but all three have gaps, missing information, and so forth, but somehow,
although two different branches on the same tree, they look an awful lot alike. I present this information
in the event that they somehow fill in blanks in one or the other’s record.
C1. Jean de Fontaine, chevalier Banneret, who was "signed with the Cross," and joined the crusade to
Jerusalem on July 15, 1099 under Godfred de Boierllon "to restore de la Terre Saints," - the land of the
Saints.
Marriage:
On returning to Burgoyne, he "espoused in the year 1109 a Demoiselle by the name of Beaumont" who
was the daughter of Robert de Beaumont," lst Earl of Leicester (and who died June 5, 1118) who married
Isabel, daughter of Hugh, Earl of Vermandoise, their oldest child having been born in 1102.
I find it difficult to believe that he would marry a 7 year old and have a child around age 9 or 10.
Children:
They had three children
 C1.1. Etienne de Fontaine
B. after 1109 [Assuming that his father was born in 1070 A.D., his father was over 39 years old]
1139: m. to Madamoiselle Dus [when C1. Jean was about 40 years old]
 C1.2. Unknown
 C1.3. Unknown
C1.1. Etienne de Fontaine and Madamoiselle Dus
 C1.1.1. Pierre de Fontaine "Established Picardie"
B. after 1139 [when his father was about 40 years old]
1170: M. Demoiselle Danette [when he was about 31 years old]
C1.1.1. Pierre de Fontaine and Demoiselle Danette
 C1.X4 Pierre de Fontaine II
B. after 1170 [when his father was about 31 years old]
This birth date range is what we would normally guess, but based on the information below, I believe
that C1.1.1. Pierre is C1.X4 Pierre II’s grandfather and C1.X4 Pierre II is the grandfather of Jean who
was born in 1297.
Was living in the time of Louis, King of France, 1260 [about age 90].
According to the histories of that period, served the King in the year 1297 [about age 127]. No name
of his wife was recorded but, their son...
This is 37 years of his life accounted for.
C1.X4 Pierre de Fontaine II and Unknown
 C1.X5 Jean de Fontaine,
B. not known [Guestimate: 1210-1240 when his father was about 40-50 years old][Assuming that I’m
correct in filling in the gap above, then his father was about 13 -23 years old, both ages for that time
was not uncommon.]
1263: M. to Unknown. Name of his wife not given [when his father was about 93 years old]
1267: is recorded as his son and was living in that year
Four years of his life is accounted for. I believe that C1.X5 Jean is the father of Jean who was born in
1297, which is five years before C1.X7Joseph gets married.
C1.X6 Jean de Fontaine and Unknown
 C1.X7 Joseph de Fontaine
P a g e | 98
B. About 1263 [when his father was over 20 years old]
About 1305: M. to the daughter of le Memorie [when he is about 42 years old]
The gap here means there must be a missing generation. Here’s what I believe belongs here.
 2.1. Jean de la Fontaine, Lord of Seville
B. 1297 in France [He is also said to have been born 1375, the date given as possibly another Jean de
la Fontaine, but that Jean was married to Buyonne de Monthibault]
WFT Est. 1323-1399: M. to Buyonne [Guyonne?] De Monthibault in FRANCE
B. c. 1303 in FRANCE
D. 1399
D. 1367 in Dijon, Departement de la Côte-d'Or, Bourgogne, France
Burial: Dijon Cathedral, Dijon, Departement de la Côte-d'Or, Bourgogne, France
While this genealogy compares significantly to The Strong Family Tree, there is also a disconnect
somewhere
C1.X7 Joseph de Fontaine and [?] le Memorie
 C1.X8 Luc de Fontaine
B. about 1305 [I suspect he was born about 1320 considering when his son C1.X9 Charles was born.
This record has him being eight years older than 2.1. Jean.]
1359 : m. to Unknown. No name is given of the wife.
C1.X8 Luc de Fontaine
 C1.X9 Charles de Fontaine
B. after 1359 [when C1.X8 Luc was about 54 years old according to this record and about 39 based on
my guestimate.]

Had "4 enfants", One son.

D1.1.1.2. Roger de Beaumont, known as le Barbe († 1094), who succeeded his father, feudal lord
(French: seigneur) of Beaumont-le-Roger and of Pont-Audemer in Normandy, was a powerful
Norman nobleman and close advisor to William the Conqueror.
Roger de Beaumont was a second cousin once removed of William the Conqueror. His Norman feudal
lordship had its caput and castle at Beaumont-le-Roger, a settlement situated on the upper reaches of the
River Risle, in Normandy, about 46 km SW of Rouen, the capital of the Duchy. He was also feudal lord of
Pont-Audemer, a settlement built around the first bridge to cross the River Risle upstream of its estuary,
shared with the River Seine.
Robert was a powerful Norman nobleman, one of the Companions of his cousin William the Conqueror
during the Norman Conquest of England, and was revered as one of the wisest men of his age.
Chroniclers spoke highly of his eloquence, his learning, and three kings of England valued his counsel.
