[1598] In 2007 http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/BURGUNDY.htm offers: "The parentage of Giselbert is proved by a combination of documents: 'Hirmingardis comitissa . . . Walonis filii eius, Gilleberti filii eius alterius' subscribed the testament of 'Heriveus . . . Æduorum episcopus' dated 1 Nov 919 which names 'genitricis nostræ domnæ Hirmingardis venerabilis comitissæ et fratrum nostrorum . . . domnus Walo pius Præsul et noster avunculus'; the Vita Sanctii Viventii Presbyteri names 'Manasses . . . filius Gislebertus eiusdem Burgundiæ Dux'; 'Warulfus . . . virum nobilem . . .filio equivoco eius Warulfo' petitioned 'Ermengardis comitisse . . .seu filii eius Gisleberti comitis' for some donated property of Saint-Marcel-lès-Chalon by charter dated Jun 924. Comte d'Autun. 'Gisleberto comiti' is named in a charter of 'Vuarulfo' dated 5 Jun 926. He became Giselbert Duke of Burgundy, after his brothers-in-law Raoul and Hugues 'le Noir' ceded him their rights to Burgundy in [936]. The Annales Nivernenses record the death 'apud Parisius post pascha 956' of 'Gislebertus comes'. The Chronico Senonensi Sanctæ Columbæ records that 'Gisleberto Principe Burgundionum' died 'feria tertia post Pascha'. After Giselbert died, Lothaire King of France asserted control over the duchy of Burgundy. m (before May 926) ERMENGARD ---. 'Ermengars' sold land in Colonicas (pago Matisconense), with her husband 'Gillevertus', by charter dated May 926. According to Du Chesne in 1625, she was Ermengard, daughter of Richard 'le Justicier' Duke of Burgundy. More recently this affiliation has been challenged, in particular because she is not mentioned in her supposed mother's will. In addition, if it is correct that Giselbert's mother was the daughter of King Boso, she would have been her husband's first cousin."
[41508] This person is from an unverified file in Ancestry.com in 2016 which states Thomas is son of Edward Cannon (b. 1615 in Co. Middlesex, England) and wife Ann _____. Ancestry.com offers: "Cannon Name Meaning - Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Canann or Ó Canann (Ulster), or Ó Canáin (County Galway) son (Mac) or descendant (Ó) of Canán, a personal name derived from cano wolf cub. In Ulster it may also be from Ó Canannáin descendant of Canannán, a diminutive of the personal name. English: from Middle English canun canon (Old Norman French canonie, canoine, from Late Latin canonicus). In medieval England this term denoted a clergyman living with others in a clergy house; the surname is mostly an occupational name for a servant in a house of canons, although it could also be a nickname or even a patronymic."

[8689] "The Perry County Times, 23 September 1926," p. 5: "William Ritter, son of David Susan McClade Reapsome Ritter, suddenly at his home near Loysville Saturday about, 10 a. in., aged 33 years, 5 months and 23 days. Mr. Ritter had suffered a sun stroke several years ago, but had apparently recovered when his health begun to fail about a year ago, gradually sapping his strength. His sudden death is a terrible shock to his family and friends. He was a hard working, industrious young man, who was a farmer, living on the old Ritter homestead, his father's farm, and where he was born and raised. The success of the farm was largely to his credit, even before his parents' removal to a nearby home some years ago. A faithful son to his parents, his mother's standby, energetic and capable since boy hood, assuming the most of the labor of hauling lumber, etc., for the house and barn his parents built in recent years, He has also always been a kind, faithful, loving husband, father and brother, respected and honored by many. He was a member of the Loysville Lutheran Church, serving as deacon at one time, Mr. Ritter was married to Miss Edith Barnes, of Donnally Mills, in January, 1918 by the Rev. A. R. Longanecker, then pastor of the Loysville Lutheran charge. His wife, with four daughters, born to them, survive, namely: Janet, 7, Lenore and Larue, twins, 5 and Sara Louise, 1 year old. Also surviving are his parents and the following sisters and brother: Annie, of Harrisburg; Margaret, Mrs. Charles Smith, of Blain ; Sara, Mrs. .lames Bowers, of Mifflin, and Paul, at home."

HENRY SEWALL (III).
Henry Sewall the Second's only son was born at Manchester in 1614 Henry II not liking the English hierarchy sent his son, Henry III, to New England, where he established himself and became the ancestor of the Sewalls in America.
When Henry III was twenty years old he came with his party in the ships Elizabeth and Dorcas, commanded by Captain Watts. He was plentifully provided with cattle, provisions, English servants, etc. for a plantation. There were in all about forty persons who accompanied him[1]. They landed in Boston in 1634 (274 years ago). They wintered at Ipswich, Mass., and in 1635 removed to Newbury where Henry Sewall III received the second grant of land in the town. They came from Ipswich to Newbury by water through Plum Island Sound and up the river which was afterward named for Dr. Parker. Tradition says they landed on the north bank of the river about one hundred rods below the spot where the bridge at Newbury now stands. Their number was few for a town, but the population increased rapidly-fifteen ships arriving in June, one ship in August, one in November and one in December.
Henry Sewall II, with his family, afterward followed the son to Newbury, lived there several years and later moved to Rowley, where he remained for the rest of his life.
March 25, 1646, Henry Sewall III, aged 32, married Jane Dummer, aged 19, (eldest daughter of Stephen Dummer).
In 1647 Henry Sewall III moved back again to England where he remained some time; first, at Tamworth where his oldest child, Hannah, was born; later, at Bishopstoke where the oldest son, Samuel, was born; and at Baddesly (Hants Co.) where John, Stephen and Jane were born. In these places he was a successful minister.
In 1659 he returned temporarily to Newbury, after the death of his father. (He carried with him a letter of recommendation from Richard Cromwell, the Protector, to the Governor of Massachusetts, John Endicott, asking that assistance might be granted him in the speedy settlement of his father's estate). The accession of Charles II changed his plans and he remained in America and sent for his family. Three daughters were born after the return to Newbury: Anne, Mehitable and Dorothy. Hannah, born 1670, married Mr. Jacob Toppan[1]; Samuel I, the oldest son, was first of the Massachusetts line of Sewalls; John II, second son, was born 1654, and was the first of the Maine branch of the family; Stephen I, born 1657, died 1725, gave rise to the Canadian branch of the family; Jane, born in 1659, married Moses Gerrish; Anne, born in 1662, married (1) Wm. Longfellow[4] and (2) Henry Short; Mehitable, born 1665, married Wm. Moody; Dorothy, born in 1668, married (1) Ezekiel Northend and (2) Moses Bradstreet. Descendants of the daughters are numerous in Newbury, Rowley, Byfield and vicinity. The three sons have numerous descendants in Boston, Salem, Newbury and Marblehead, Mass., at Portsmouth, N. H., at Quebec and Montreal, Canada, and throughout Maine and Illinois.
Henry Sewall III died May 16, 1700, aged 86 years. He was buried in the first parish burying ground in Newbury. Mrs. Sewall died January 13, 1701, aged 74 years.
The oldest son, Samuel, was a graduate of Harvard College, and chief justice of Massachusetts. During the 160 years which have elapsed since the supreme court was first established in Massachusetts, a place among its judges has been held for 84 years collectively by six descendants of Henry Sewall III. Four of these, three in Massachusetts and one in Canada, held the office of chief justice (collective term 18 years).
