Alan resided at Oswestry in Salop and was Sheriff of Shropshire. The Web site http://www-personal.umich.edu/~tseaton/Genealogy/Family/FG02/FG02_203.htm in 2003 reports that Alan also had a son, Walter Fitz Alan (d. 1177) who was first High Steward about 1060 and who m. Eschina de Londris, daughter of Thomas De Londris; Walter and Eschina had Alan Fitz Walter, second High Steward (d. 1204; m. Alesta, daughter of Morgund, Earl of Marr). Cf. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/9466/duntanlich.html which reports "He married Avelina de Hesdin, daughter of Ernulf de Hesdin, and had three sons - (1) Simon (Jordan) fitz Alan, Dapifer of Dol; (2) William fitz Alan, ancestor of the fitz Alans, Earls of Arundel; (3) and Walter fitz Alan, First High Steward."
http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/FITZALAN.htm states "having participated in the Conquest, obtained by the gift of King William the Conqueror, the barony and castle of Oswaldestre, Salop, and Milcham, Norfolk, some of which belonged to Meredith, Prince of Powys ap Bleddyn, King of Powys. He received the shreivalty of Shropshire from King Henry I. While his parentage is more or less obscure, there is evidence to show that Flaald, his father, lived in Brittany and was a brother of Alain, seneschal of Dol, descended from the old Armonican counts of Dol and Dinan. Alain Fitz Flaald was also the father or grandfather of William Fitzalan, steward to David I, King of Scotland, ancestor of the Stuarts, kings of that country. Alain Fitz Flaald was also the father of William Fitzalan, to whom Henry II gave in second marriage Isabel De Say, baroness of Clun, the greatest heiress of Shropshire. He was ancestor of John Fitzalan, who married Isabel, sister and co-heiress of Hugh d'Albigny. Upon a division of Hugh's property at his death in 1243, the castle of Arundel was assigned to John, son of the aforementioned John and Isabel, who thus became the first Earl of eventually passed to Mary, daughter and heiress of Henry Fitzalan, who carried it, together Arundel of the Fitzalan line. This property with the earldom and the barony of Maltravers, to her husband Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, in which family it still remains. Alain Fitz Flaald and his wife Adeline were benefactors to priory of Castle Acre, early in the reign of Henry I. The Complete Peerage vol.V,pp.391-392."
http://encyclopedia.jrank.org/STE_SUS/STEWART_STUART.html states: "Alan the son of Flaald, which Flaald was a brother of Alan, steward (or seneschal) of Dol in Brittany. This elder Alan, whose name occurs in Breton documents before 1080, went on crusade in 1097, and was apparently succeeded by his brother Flaald, whose son, the younger Alan, enjoyed the favour of Henry I., who bestowed on him Mileham and its barony in Norfolk, where he founded Sporle Priory. By the daughter of Ernulf de Hesdin (in Picardy), a Domesday baron, he was father of at least three sons: Jordan, who succeeded to the family office of steward of Dol; William, who inherited Mileham and other estates in England, and who founded the great baronial house of Fitz Alan (afterwards earls of Arundel); and Walter, who was made by David I steward (dapifer) or seneschal of Scotland."

[24742] The LDS Church's unverified Ancestral File (8L9X-9T) states that Anthony is son of Peter Thatcher (b. 1545/1549 and of, Queen Camel, Somersetshire; buried 7 May 1624 in St. Barnabas Parish, Queen Camel). A file in Ancestry.com offers: "Yarmouth's oldest settler" (by 58littleflower on 2 Apr 2008in Ancestry.com) "Yarmouth on Cape Cod is one of the most beautiful towns on the Cape, and at one time included not only the present Yarmouth but also Dennis, which was made a separate township in 1794. The First Church of Yarmouth was founded in 1639, the early ministers in their order being Rev. Marmaduke Matthews, Rev. John Miller, Rev. Thomas Thornton and Rev. John Cotton, a grandson of John Cotton. It is particularly interesting to learn that one hundred and ninety-one Indians attended this little church during the pastorates of Miller and Thornton. The names of those to whom the first grant was made were Antony Thacher (usually spelled Anthony), Thomas Howes and John Crow, who proceeded at once to organize the town, erecting a fort at Fort Hill near the old cemetery. Anthony Thacher was the oldest settler of the town and the most helpful man in the colony, his descendants being among the leading citizens of Yarmouth and Boston at the present day. The farm now owned by a member of the family, Hon. Thomas C. Thacher, belonged to his ancestor, and in his memory in 1905 he and others of his family placed a stone on the supposed site of the old house; the inscription reads as follows:- Near this Site Lived and Was Buried Antony Thatcher. He came to America in 1635 from Somersetshire England. Shipwrecked on Thacher's Island 1635. Settled in Yarmouth 1639. Three years later the Thacher family gave to the town a road called the Thacher Shore Road, built over what is supposed to be the location of the old Colonial road laid out by the early settlers of Yarmouth. Much of it runs through the Anthony Thacher farm. There is an inscription on a tablet placed at its eastern end, worded as follows:- Thatcher Shore Road - Given to the Town of Yarmouth in memory of Henry C. Thatcher by his wife and children 1908." "Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, Vol. 4," James Savage (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1994)., pp. 270-271, offers details about this family. Also see "Pioneers of Massachusetts - 1620-1650," Charles Henry Pope (Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2013), p. 449.
