[30847] See http://www.thepeerage.com which reports: "She was the daughter of Sir Francis Knollys and Katherine Carey." Find A Grave Memorial 12605544 offers: "Lettice, Countess of Leicester, lady-in-waiting and romantic rival of Queen Elizabeth I, was one of the most notorious women in Tudor England. Born Lettice Knollys at Rotherfield Greys, Oxfordshire, into a staunchly Protestant family, she was Elizabeth's maternal cousin and her junior by six years. Cultivating their striking resemblance to the point of impersonation, she dressed and traveled in as regal a style as Elizabeth, who boxed her ears for her audacity. Unlike the famously virginal queen, however, Lettice married three times. Her first marriage to Walter Devereux, first Earl of Essex and a rising star at court, ended in his untimely death. While her husband was away on campaign and fatally ill, she dallied with his friend Robert Dudley, first Earl of Leicester and the queen's favorite. He and Lettice were secretly (and by some accounts, bigamously) wed c.1577, and the marriage so enraged Elizabeth she banished the couple from court. Although Dudley later regained the queen's favor, she never forgave her cousin, bitterly denouncing her as a "she-wolf". The Dudleys' marriage was largely successful none-the-less. After the death of their only child, a five-year-old son also entombed here, Lettice's ambitions focused on her children from Devereux. Scheming to marry a daughter to the King of Scotland, she also advised her son Robert Devereux, the second Earl of Essex, on how to gain and take advantage of the queen's favor. With her second husband's health rapidly failing in 1588, Lettice's intimacy with his young protege, Sir Christopher Blount, stirred gossip. She married him a year after Dudley's death, when she was 49 and her new spouse 25 years her junior, a May-December match which was mirrored in the queen's attachment to Lettice's dashing son. As Elizabeth's new favorite, he tried to reconcile her to his mother, but to no avail. He eventually led an armed rebellion against Elizabeth's advisors, and both he and Blount, who took part in the uprising, were executed for treason in 1601. Despite Lettice's close ties to both men and the animosity between herself and the queen, she was never accused of conspiracy. She outlived Elizabeth by over 30 years, dying at Drayton Basset, Staffordshire, on Christmas Day 1634 at the age of 95. Entombed in the Beauchamp Chapel next to her second husband, Dudley, her sarcaphagus is surmounted by a fine portrait effigy and bears the inscription "She did supply the wars with thunder and the court with stars". Her descendants include British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, Prince Charles, and his first wife, Princess Diana. (bio by: Nikita Barlow)"

Find A Grave Memorial # 25328346 offers:
Balthasar Romberger (the younger) was born in New Holland, Earl Township, Lancaster County, and died in Mifflin Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. He was a son of Balthasar Romberger (the elder). This name runs through the family a bit, and is often spelled Balthasar, Baltasar, Baltser, Baltzer and other variations.
This younger Balthasar Romberger married Elizabeth Sierer/Seacrer on December 25, 1802 Dauphin County. They had 11 children. My next direct descendant is their son Daniel Romberger, who, while he did not live a long life, managed to have three children with his wife Eva Romberger (later Hoffman) before his death at 23, to continue our line.
There was yet one more Balthasar to come- Balthasar the youngest -the youngest in this uninterrupted Balthasar string. He was the son of this Balthasar, and grandson of Balthasar (the elder). The youngest was Balthasar W Romberger 1825-1905.
Years ago I copied some online bio info on this second Balthasar, and because I just sought info and was not yet attuned to keeping source data, I do not recall where I got it, and hope to rediscover it. Still, this is what it said:
"Baltzer Jr. received a German education in subscription school in Lebanon Co. He was a farmer and blacksmith. Later in life he came to Lykens Valley and bought six hundred acres of land, for a part of which he paid $10 per acre; the land was all in timber. With the assistance of his family he cleared this land and erected upon it the necessary buildings, made fences, planted an orchard and engaged in stock raising."
"Baltzer Romberger, Jr., was married, in Lebanon, Pa., to Elizabeth Seacrer, born in Lebanon, daughter of Conrad Seacrer, a farmer of Lebanon county. They had eleven children: Mary, deceased, wife of Daniel Matter, farmer; Catherine, deceased, wife of Philip Matter; George and Daniel, deceased; Bengohan; Hannah, wife of Jacob woodside, Berrysburg, Pa.; Rebecca, deceased, wife of Jere Horner; David, deceased; Baltizer, farmer; Susan, deceased, wife of John Bordner; and Elizabeth, deceased, wife of Jacob Hoy. Mr. And Mrs. Romberger were prominent and active members of the Lutheran church. Mr. Romberger was deacon and elder. His politics were Democratic. He died in Mifflin township in 1838; his wife died in the same place in 1860, at the home of her son Bengohan, who watched over her in her declining years. She was exemplary in all the relations of life, and especially was she wise and faithful in the training of her family."
Note that he had two boys who died fairly young- Daniel and George. Daniel was of my line, and is the fellow mentioned above who did not live long but managed to have three kids, and his one son Gilbert the saddler would name his first two boys with each of these first names. There was George the lawyer, and "Professor" Daniel, my great grandpa, the schoolmaster, who eventually became a late-blooming successful entrepreneur.
