The Volunteer by R. Tait McKenzie
The Volunteer is a tribute to 48 men of Almonte and area who were killed in WW1, as well as a tribute to an individual soldier.
Alexander Rosamond was heir to the prosperous Rosamond Woollen Company, a textile mill in Almonte. He happened to be in the UK on business in August 1914, and enlisted in the British army. In June 1915, he was granted a commission in the Canadian Expeditionary Force and joined the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLIs) in February 1916. He was killed at the Battle of Courcelette on September 15, 1916, aged 43. He has no known grave and his name is on the Vimy Memorial. He left behind his wife Mary and four daughters.
In a codicil to Rosamond’s will was a bequest: I instruct my executors to erect in some promising place in the Town of Almonte, a permanent memorial to all those who lost their lives in the present war who were from the Town of Almonte, Township of Ramsay and surrounding district. The town granted land for the purpose on Bridge St, beside the town hall. The figure was designed by sculptor (and WW1 physician, physical therapist and physical educator) R. Tait McKenzie. The monument was dedicated on September 11, 1923, “to the men of Almonte who fell for freedom.”

The Volunteer, by poet Ethel O’Neil McKenzie (wife of Tait McKenzie)
He watches – in a little northern town
Through winter cold and parching summer heat
Where quiet folk go simply up and down
O’er stony bridge and narrow crooked street.
He guards – alone – alert, with clenched hand
In readiness with his young manhood’s might
To spring to action at a word’s command
Uphold his honour and defend his right.He watches – while the children leave their play
To lay their garlands clustered at his feet
Zinnias and asters from home gardens gay
In little hands held close and warm and sweet.
He smiles – he leans – and every winsome maid
Feels in her heart this joyous chivalry
And lads look starry-eyed and unafraid
To grow to manhood strong and brave as he.He watches. Oh, ye men with him who fell!
Mighty of valour, bold, unflinching free!
Here, in this place, your spirits seem to dwell
Drawn to the home of your mortality.
He waits! Nor shall his vigil be in vain
Men like to him shall ever pay the price
Shun all dishonor, scorn the thought of pain
And make the great immortal sacrifice!
A memorial to Alexander Rosamond published by his grandchildren in the Ottawa Citizen and the Globe and Mail on September 17, 2016 notes that two of Mary Rosamond’s brothers were killed the same year.

Victoria Rosemond Bond got an urgent call from Clive de Rougemont and was given instructions to fly to Canada where a important meeting was being held in the old Rosamond Woolen Mill. When they entered, she and Miriam were greeted by these great beams that reminded Starfish of the cross her savior was crucified upon. She felt very uneasy. Was this – a trap? A figure emerged from the dark wearing a long white robe with a red cross on it.
“Follow me.”
Coming into a vaulted room with skylights, there stood about twenty men and women wearing white robes. They were standing before a table upon which was placed a famous relic.
“Approach. Look. What do you see?”
Starfish, gasped! For the first time in her life – she felt faint!
“This is the Shroud of Turin! How did it get here?”
“This is the image of a Grand Master of the Knights Templar, and not Jesus. He is your ancestor, Victoria, as is the Rougemont Knights Templar of Rougemont and Fontenette. Some are buried at a small temple in Bellevaux. Others are entombed in this mill. There is a major crisis brewing. We bid you to kneel, and be knighted into the Order Of The Knights Templar of Rougemont!”
When I got on my computer this morning and read the headlines, I came across this question..
“What if the coup attempt had succeeded?“
The ex-President is launching more propaganda campaigns from the Republican Party that was founded by my kindred, John Fremont. Republicans are putting their names to THIS FICTION in order to weaken the Democrats – and our Democracy – so that they can appear to be saviors, when in truth, they are Saboteurs. This is how our neighbor sees it. Canada is alarmed by Republican Extremists who invite Armed Militias to take up the Republican cause, which is the cause of Neo-Confederates – who hate the Abolitionists and Lincoln. These Traitors – have seized the truth! Therefore, I am bid to turn my Bond book into a work of Patriotic Historic Fiction aimed at protecting Canadian and American Democracy.
Some of these Insurectionists have employed the Knights Templars in the treacherous propaganda. Fight fiction – with fiction? Is this the way to go? Are there real truths – to own? I believe a right-wing group was behind Trump’s run for President, they never expecting him to win, just cast aspersions upon the fairness of our voting system. Militias lived in Never Never Land. Trump never declared he was the President of All Americans. He showed disdain for Canada and its leader who has declared some of these militias – terrorists groups. In a fictional manner, Victoria and Miriam are obligated to protect Canada – and the Queen!

The monarchy of Canada is the institution in which a person serves as Canada‘s sovereign and head of state, on a hereditary basis. It is at the core of Canada’s constitutional federal structure and Westminster-styleparliamentarydemocracy.[6] The monarchy is the foundation of the executive (Queen-in-Council), legislative (Queen-in-Parliament), and judicial (Queen-on-the-Bench) branches of both federal and provincial jurisdictions.[10] The Queen of Canada (and head of state) has been Elizabeth II since 6 February 1952

What if the Jan. 6 insurrection had succeeded in illegally installing Trump? (msn.com)
As we approach the first anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, many questions remain. Among these, one of the most important is, “What if?”
What if the coup attempt had succeeded? What if the election results had been overturned? What if Donald Trump were illegally installed for a second term as president of the United States?
It could have happened several different ways. Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman might have been out sick last Jan. 6 and not in place to divert the mob away from fleeing and hiding members of Congress. The Trumpist horde could have found their way to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Vice President Mike Pence or other members of Congress and killed or injured them.
Had they done so, it might have resulted in postponing the certification of the election and in the ensuing time, despite whatever national outrage was triggered, the former president and his supporters might have engineered politically motivated challenges in key states throwing the election’s results into question.
Do you doubt that? Then your memory has faded much in the past year. Because a coup attempt occurred, five people died, more than 140 police officers were injured, for the first time in American history we did not have a peaceful transfer of power, and the backlash with the leadership and rank and file of the GOP was shockingly minimal.

Chapter Four – The Old Roseville Garage
For over a year I have talked about getting funding, or, getting Hollywood, to make a propaganda movie in order to – WARN THE PEOPLE! With this warning from a Candian named Homer, perhaps I can hit on the Canadian Government, and, The Queen, to make a “What if?” movie.
“Under the less-optimistic scenarios, the risks to our country in their cumulative effect could easily be existential, far greater than any in our federation’s history. What happens, for instance, if high-profile political refugees fleeing persecution arrive in our country and the US regime demands them back. Do we comply?”

WHAT IF?……..Nazi Germany won the war, and, Canada held out?
Chapter….The Fall of Roseville
When the Panzer tanks rolled into Roseville, they headed for the Southern Pacific railyard where Good Ol’ Joe Wislon was coupling freight cars destined for Chicago. When a Tiger pulled on the rails and pointed it big eighty-eight at Joes head. Joe – who had killed Germans in World War One – thought about opening the throttle, but, he would be toast in a second. Engineer Joe, held up his hands as he walked towards Colonel Waltzerwitz.
In months Old Joe is showing Nazi propaganda movies in the alley outside his Good Ol Garage where the neighbors gathered in the summer, and had a Bar-B-Que. Two months later, he is asked to put on a Nazi uniform and start hauling American Traitors back on American soil. Canada, had fallen. However, there was a resistance of American and Canadian Mountain Men – that would never surrender. Joe had a good idea the Americans he carried in box cars, were going to be executed.

Peter Navarro Describes Trump-Backed Plan to Overturn Election Results – Rolling Stone
One way or the other, GOP voters are determined to believe the 2020 election was stolen no matter what the facts are. As a recent Monmouth University poll found, “Nearly 3 in 4 Republicans (73%) cling to the idea that Biden won through fraud,” while about one-third of the American public holds that belief.
Those findings generally reflect the results of other polls asking about 2020 fraud, but the Monmouth survey also asked a question that demonstrated just how deep and stubborn those GOP delusions are.
Regarding Arizona’s sham “audit” of the state’s 2020 results released in September, 57% of Americans accepted the results of the review, correctly saying it had either concluded Joe Biden won Arizona fairly (36%) or saying they weren’t sure about the report but guessed it found Biden the winner (21%).
But when it came to Republicans, 62% misstated the results of the sham audit, with 32% saying the so-called audit found evidence of fraud and 30% saying it probably found fraud, when in fact the report located no 2020 fraud.
So even when a sham process initiated by GOP lawmakers, promoted by Donald Trump, and conducted by pro-Trump sympathizers finds no fraud, a substantial majority of Republicans reject and distort the findings.
OTTAWA, June 25 (Reuters) – Canada officially named the U.S. right-wing militia group Three Percenters a terrorist entity on Friday, saying it posed a “significant threat” to Canadian domestic security.
Earlier this month U.S. prosecutors obtained a conspiracy indictment against six men associated with the Three Percenters, the latest in a series of such charges arising from the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol by former President Donald Trump’s supporters. read more

Proud Boys Named ‘Terrorist Entity’ In Canada : NPR
In February, Canada added three right-wing groups to its list of terrorist entities. Included on that list, the Proud Boys. And that’s an organization founded in 2016 by a Canadian living in the U.S. While the Canadian government said its investigations predated the January attack on the U.S. Capitol, the designation is highlighting Canada’s different approach to confronting far-right groups. Here is Emma Jacobs.
One Year Later: U.S. Democracy in Peril as Far-Right Extremism Spreads Globally
- January 4, 2022
Watching the violent events unfold at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 last year was horrifying for all of us. For the first time, the Capitol was under attack by Americans intent on subverting democracy. Never before has a mass movement been inspired by a president trying to stop the certification of a free and fair presidential election. Not to mention the violence: January 6, 2021 was the deadliest attack on the Capitol ever, killing five people and injuring 140 police officers.
As shocking as the events of that day were, they were not a surprise. Analysts of the radical right had been warning for years of the consequences of allowing the far-right to grow unchecked and had even issued multiple warnings in the days prior. Some law enforcement agencies had also sent intelligence directives about possible violence on that day. For those paying attention, the possibility of violence at the Capitol that day was clear and littered all over internet chat rooms and social media.
In the lead up to the attack, 2020 was harrowing. The pandemic supercharged far-right movements and ideas, and extremists sought out new online recruits – people glued to their screens and social media while stuck at home. All the while, Trump and his allies continued to push anti-lockdown, anti-vaxx, and anti-democracy messaging. The QAnon conspiracy movement exploded. Hate against marginalized populations, rage over Covid measures, and outrage over a possible Trump loss mingled online and created a combustible environment. The violence spilled offline against BLM protesters and in plots including the attempt by militia members to kidnap the governor of Michigan, an attempt by far right Boogaloo Bois to bomb BLM protesters in Las Vegas, and dozens of car ramming attacks.
The situation has become so serious that a member of the CIA’s Political Instability Task Force warned in December that the U.S. is “closer to civil war” than most would ever believe. Professor Barbara Walter pointed out that, “if you were an analyst in a foreign country looking at events in America – the same way you’d look at events in Ukraine or Ivory Coast or Venezuela – you would go down a checklist, assessing each of the conditions that make civil war likely…And what you would find is that the United States, a democracy founded more than two centuries ago, has entered very dangerous territory.” Walter believes that the U.S. has passed through stages of “pre-insurgency” and “incipient conflict” and may now be in “open conflict,” beginning with the Capitol insurgency. Walter also says the U.S. has become an “anocracy” – “somewhere between a democracy and an autocratic state.”
Walter is not alone in warning about the perilous state of American democracy. The European think tank International IDEA now calls the U.S. a “backsliding democracy” heading towards authoritarianism. This is part of a global pattern, as the number of countries trending toward authoritarianism in 2020 outnumbered those moving in a more democratic direction. Furthermore, Trump’s allegations during the 2020 election had a “spillover effect” on elections in Brazil, Mexico, Myanmar and Peru. Freedom House reported in March that America’s democracy score fell another three points, for a total of 11 over the past decade. Freedom House concluded that although the U.S. remains a “free country,” it is now more akin to states with less robust democracies, such as Romania, Croatia, and Panama.
Threat from the Far-Right Is Complex and Growing, Not Enough is Being Done
Over the past year, the U.S. domestic terrorism landscape has become even more complex, as online networks grow, merge, and proliferate. DHS official John Cohen said in December that the threat had “not lessened” and was in fact worse since the Biden administration published its domestic terrorism strategy in June. “We continue to face a threat environment that is dangerous, complex and highly volatile,” Cohen said, adding that “the volatility of the environment is not going to change.”
Perhaps most worrying in terms of violence is the continued growth of accelerationist networks, populated by violent neo-Nazis, who share terrorism manuals online and whose members have committed murders and other violence offline. The groups are called accelerationist as they aim to “accelerate” the collapse of democratic systems through mass violence including civil war. The three groups with members charged with conspiracy for their acts on January 6 – the white supremacist Proud Boys and the anti-government, paramilitary organizations the Oath Keepers and the Three Percenters – had already been involved in considerable violence in the years prior. The prosecutions of those involved in the insurrection has failed to shut down these groups, as has the participation of active-duty military and veterans failed to inspire serious measures to weed-out extremists and prevent troops from being radicalized.
The barriers that once existed between divergent forms of far-right extremism are dissolving. Seeing militiamen among the violent white supremacists who rioted in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017 was novel. That kind of mixing and collaboration is now typical, especially online, where the pandemic has fueled extremist and conspiracy movements that have exploded into offline threats and violence.
White Rage Against Change
There were a number of reasons for the explosion of violence on January 6. But the predominant factor driving the growth in the far-right extremism movement is the near certainty that America and other Western countries are moving towards a diverse future, where the white population will no longer dominate numerically. For years, this reality has fueled white supremacist and anti-government movements, who now regularly spread fears via social media of being “replaced” by people of color and immigrants. They explain natural demographic shifts using a racist conspiracy theory called the “Great Replacement,” which alleges demographic change is a plot against white people, often instigated by Jews, to reduce their power. This racist idea stayed on the fringe of the far-right for years, but has increasingly been voiced by mainstream conservatives and politicians and spread by far-right media personalities –both in the U.S. and around the world. The racist, extremist, and often violent reactions to changing demographics will likely get worse in the coming years, in the U.S. and abroad, setting the stage for even worse violent events in the months and years to come.
Thriving democracies are key to achieving equality and fairness, racial justice, solutions to climate change, and economic justice. Free and fair elections are the linchpin to a better world. As these anti-civil rights and anti-democracy movements continue to grow, they threaten liberal democracy in multiple countries, some inspired by the U.S. Capitol insurrection. As they gain power, liberal democracy is becoming more fragile, and a better future for all is threatened.
For the U.S., the big question remains, was January 6 a one-off? Or was it more akin to Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch, a precursor to more ominous developments to come?
Though it is obviously dangerous territory to make such stark historical comparisons, the concerns that January 6 might be the first in future coup attempts aren’t just coming from progressives, but rather from historians who see worrying parallels between today and the 1930s. The increasing numbers of Republicans buying into the big election lie and working to undermine electoral infrastructure undergird these analyses. Trump allies like Steve Bannon have been blatant about their attempts to manipulate the American electoral system. In an April call to supporters to take over local election boards, Bannon said, “They’re not going to be welcomed with open arms…But hey, was it nasty at Lexington? Was it nasty at Concord? Was it nasty at Bunker Hill?” Then, in October, Bannon said that “shock troops” need to be prepared to take over and “deconstruct” the state when the next Republican president is elected.
Radicalization of the GOP
The growth of white supremacist and other extremist movements is always concerning, especially in terms of the violence inherent to those movements, but the infiltration of their racist and unfair ideas into the mainstream conservative movement is absolutely terrifying. A thriving democracy needs competitive political parties pursuing legitimate agendas that give options to voters. But a year after January 6, elements of the GOP are increasingly adopting formerly fringe and potentially violent conspiracy ideas, like QAnon, with many of its members also downplaying the events of January 6 and spreading extremist views themselves.
So, too, is the racist Great Replacement conspiracy theory finding a home on the right. The idea has been pushed by powerful conservatives, including Fox News host Tucker Carlson and GOP heavyweights including Newt Gingrich and Trump advisor Stephen Miller. This is a blatant white supremacist concept, once consigned to the racist movement, that inspired the 2019 mass shootings at mosques in Christchurch, N.Z., the massacre in El Paso, and other attacks.
There is no question that Trump bears much of the blame for stoking these fires. He decimated American social norms, stoked racism and anti-immigrant hatred, and spread noxious conspiracies that impacted globally. But the most dangerous thing Trump has done is undermine our nation’s faith in democracy by pushing the idea that his electoral “win” was stolen–and that future elections will be as well. The long-term implications of how this could undermine American democracy are serious.
A considerable number of Republicans – nearly 75 percent – have bought into Trump’s vision that elections are no longer free and fair and that January 6 was perpetrated by righteous patriots. A September poll by the Public Religion Research Institute finds that nearly a third of Republicans agree that “true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country.” A CBS/YouGov poll earlier this year found that half of Republicans believe that the insurrectionists who invaded the Capitol last January were “defending freedom.” Once a center right party, political scientists now place the Republican Party in the same bucket as very far-right parties like the anti-Muslim and anti-refugee Alternative for Germany, parts of which are considered officially extremist by the German security services.
Additional data also gives pause. Research from the University of Chicago now identifies an American insurrectionist movement made up of about 21 million people who believe that “Use of force is justified to restore Donald J. Trump to the presidency” and that “The 2020 election was stolen, and Joe Biden is an illegitimate president.” This group of people also share two other central beliefs – 63 percent believe in the Great Replacement conspiracy theory and 54 percent in QAnon. Made up of “mainly highly competent, middle-aged American professionals,” the researchers conclude that the radicalization of this insurrectionist movement “does not bode well for the 2022 midterm elections, or for that matter, the 2024 Presidential election.”
This radicalization of many conservatives even has our military concerned. Three retired generals warned in a December opinion piece, “We are chilled to our bones at the thought of a coup succeeding next time.” They pointed to a number of factors, including that a group of 124 retired military officials, under the name “Flag Officers 4 America,” released a letter echoing Donald Trump’s false attacks on the legitimacy of American elections. The generals called on the military to immediately introduce civics courses for active-duty troops, that all leaders of the insurrection be held to account, and for military intelligence to root out possible extremists before 2024. They also pointed to a terrifying possibility that rogue military units might reject an election outcome and support a losing presidential candidate.
Canadian political scientist Thomas Homer-Dixon said in early January that “By 2025, American democracy could collapse, causing extreme domestic political instability, including widespread civil violence.” The Atlantic put it this way: “Trump’s next coup has already begun…January 6 was practice. Donald Trump’s GOP is much better positioned to subvert the next election.”
January 6 as a Global Problem
This isn’t just an American problem. The movements that came together on January 6 to upend American democracy have spread throughout the globe, bolstering and feeding anti-democracy tendencies and far-right populist movements in multiple countries. Attacks on serious policy issues like climate change, addressing the pandemic, and civil and human rights are worldwide. And the cause is often the same, changing demographics exploited by far-right movements.
QAnon networks are now found in most European countries, and dozens of others, with adherents mixing in with anti-lockdown and anti-vaxx movements in increasingly violent street actions. The theory, and its diehard support for Trump who often tweeted out QAnon material and is backing an adherent to run Arizona’s elections, even made its way to Japan, with splinter groups focusing on various aspects of the “theory” and online channels with thousands of adherents. Anti-vaxx and anti-lockdown ideas have also migrated from the U.S. abroad. In Germany, an anti-vaxx plot to murder political figures was uncovered in December and an EU MEP was physically attacked with a Molotov cocktail thrown into his home. Violence at anti-vaxx and anti-lockdown protests has broken out across the continent, as the pandemic continues to radicalize portions of the population into these conspiracy movements. This fraught environment is giving fuel as well to populist movements on the continent who have harnessed anger at pandemic measures to further their political fortunes, while scapegoating vulnerable populations for these troubles.
The Great Replacement conspiracy theory is also widespread, particularly in Europe having actually been formulated by a Frenchman, Renaud Camus. Far-right candidates in multiple countries, including France, Netherlands, Poland, and Hungary, are exploiting the idea as an excuse for anti-immigrant crusades. America isn’t the only country where lone actors engaged in domestic terrorism because they believed the Great Replacement was real. Witness attacks on synagogues and politicians in Germany and Anders Breivik’s violent Oslo rampage as an example.
Our Precarious Future
Looking ahead to 2022, far-right extremism will continue to grow and be cause for great concern, as will the radicalization of the GOP. Without a doubt the biggest cause for concern is the threat to the foundation of our democracy. Already several states have passed laws making it harder to vote. More alarming is the success of far-right conservative activists working to undermine America’s election infrastructure, proposing changes that could put election results in the hands of partisan legislatures, rather than the popular vote. If the 2024 election is politicized in this way, what we saw on January 6 will seem quaint given the widespread unrest that will surely follow. It is not an overstatement to say that 2021 could be a harbinger for the outcome of the 2022 midterm elections in the U.S., and what’s to come in 2024.
The U.S. isn’t the only country facing elections in 2022, as France, Brazil, the Philippines, Austria, and Sweden are holding elections for their highest offices. They all face rising far-right populism and extremism and must also be protected.
There is much that can be done to avoid a dark future. The recently released Department of Defense rules against extremism among active-duty troops is a step in the right direction and may, if properly implemented and enforced, reduce insurrectionist tendencies. Similar measures have been put in place in other countries, particularly Germany, where military extremism is on the rise.
In terms of domestic terrorism, several countries including the U.K., Australia, and Canada, have banned extremist groups such as the Proud Boys and The Base. The U.S. has no process for doing the same given constitutional constraints, but the Biden administration has laid out a strategy for confronting the same movements. But we need to see these strategies implemented sooner rather than later.
Social media companies have a lot of work to do, in particular they need to apply community standards to all users. The recent disclosures of “whitelists” for political figures as well as the lack of fact-checking standards for political advertising must end, as these practices fuel far-right extremism and populism in the U.S. and abroad. The fact that social media companies haven’t committed the necessary resources to moderate content in languages other than English also needs to be resolved. In places such as India, Brazil and The Philippines, lack of content moderation has fueled rights-restricting movements.
The U.S. democracy and democracies across the globe, the ones that ensure continuing world peace and a global economy, are under attack to a degree that we’ve never witnessed. The far-right, following Trump’s lead, is recruiting and radicalizing people who were formerly less inclined to join these extreme movements. Racism, hate, and extremism are everywhere you look, including within the mainstream conservative movement.
To avoid another Jan 6th, or worse, now is the time to take these steps. And, at GPAHE, we are committed to doing everything we can, to ensure that people pay attention to our collective futures and those of the generations to come.

Rougemont Templars of Til-chatel
Posted on July 19, 2016by Royal Rosamond Press
Rougemont Family Templars Worshipped at Fontenotte and owned the Shroud of Turin.
The First Preceptor of La Fontenotte
My mother’s maiden name has been traced to Rougemont who appear to have ties to the Windsors, thus much of the royalty of Europe. I am sharing this discovery with Robert Sinclair, and Ben Toney, who may be related to the Robert de Ros who lived in Belvoir castle that belonged to the House of Toney.
Because the world is going mad, and in order to strengthen Britain and recreated a European Union co-founded by Denis de Rougemont, I revive the order of Knight Templars, whom the Sinclairs are now tied via Anges de Toney.
Alexandre, and Francois de Rougemont are buried with Knight Templars as Til-Chatel. Gui 1er de Rougemont married Etinnette de Ruffey. Here are the Seigneur de Til-Chatel. Guy 2 de Rougemont Thibaut V de Rougemont 1306-1333 Guillaume de Rougemont Humbert de Rougemont married Alix Neufchatel Aymon 2 (Aimon) de Rougemont married Guillemette de Ray daughter of Othon de La Roche, owner of the Shroud of Turin. Thibaut V1 de Rougemont father of Catherine de Rougemont who married Jean de Neufchatel the son of Margarita de Castro e Souza from who the Windsors descend.
The fifth son of Guy II of Rougemont and Guillemette de Coublant,
Etienne de Rougemont was lord of Pichanges. In December 1265, having
recalled the donations made to the temple by Aimon IV and Guy II, he
gave to the Templars, with the agreement of his elder brother, Jean,
Lord of Rougemont, the right of pasturage on his lands of Pichanges
and Spoy. He died in 1271 and was buried before the altar in the
chapel of Fontenotte and conferring his Templar rank of Preceptor
(priest-templar).
After the death of Etienne, Jean de Til-Chatel had to confirm in 1274
the rights of the Templars over Fontenotte. In 1278 his younger
brother, Guy, who had been curate of Til-Chatel in 1242 then
archdeacon of Le Tonnerois in the church of Langres, succeeded him at
the head of the lordship of Pichanges.
In May, 1274, Jean de Rougemont, Marshal of Burgundy legally
recorded “for the repose of his soul and that of his elder brother,
Etienne de Rougemont, who lies in the cemetery of the said Temple,
and of the souls of his forebears”, granted to Henri de Dole,
Commander of the House of Fontenotte:”
I have found a Hughes/Hue de Rougemont who a “grand maître du
Temple”in two accounts, and the maître du Temple of Burgundy in
another.This Hugues appears to be related to Humbert de Villersexel
who wasthe Lord of Rougemont and Til-Chatel. Is this the Hughes that
preceeded Bernard de Tramelay/Dramelay? Did this Hugues come after
Bernard. In the Fromond/Dramelay genealogy we find a line of De La
Roches, and thus the Rougemonts are kin to another Templar Grand
Master, Amaury de La Roche.

Today I found the Templar Chapel of Fontenotte where the Rougemont
family of Knights Templar worshipped.
http://www.petit-patrimoine.com/fiche-petit-patrimoine.php?
This Templar Order came to own the Templar Seal of Etienne de Til-
Chatel.
http://www.ordotempli.org/the_first_preceptor.htm
In this genealogy we see the Lords of Rougemont are also the Lords of
Til-Chatel, and Trichatel which is the same place.
“Bernard de Tramelay (died August 16, 1153) was the fourth Grand
Master of the Knights Templar. He was born in the castle of Tramelay
near Saint-Claude in the Jura. According to Du Cange, he succeeded a
certain Hugues as Master of the Temple, although this Hugues is
otherwise unknown. He was elected Grand Master in June of 1151, after
the abdication of Everard des Barres, who had returned to France
following the Second Crusade.et”
“Hugues de Rougemont, grand maître du Temple””and Hugues de
Rougemont, large main of the Temple”
Humbert de Rougemont owned the Shroud of Turin. Humbert is a Hue name
and is kin to at least two Templar Grandmasters. Humbert was also the
Lord of Villersexel. He married the great granddaughter Geoffrey de
Charnay a Templar Grand Master. This is to say this Knights Templar
family, and thus the Knights Templars, owned and protected the Shroud
of Turin that they may have seized at Ascalon along with a great
treasure which would account for the large number of castle owned by
this very large Templar family. Never has such a constellation of
Knights Templars gathered in one place, under one roof as they did
come Sunday in Fontenotte.

My search for my ancestor, Sergeant Rougemont, has led me to a

“I have three separate pages for Rosamond families we believe are
descended from a Sergeant Rosamond, a Huguenot who left France in
1685 at the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and fought in the
Battle of the Boyne in Ireland in 1689. We have not yet been able to
definitively tie these three families together, but each family was
independently aware of the story of Sergeant Rosamond and claimed him
as an ancestor. We are hoping that as research continues we will find
records showing us the relationship between our families.”

Humbert de Rougemont owned the Shroud of Turin. Humbert is a Hue name and is kin to at least two Templar Grandmasters. Humbert was also the Lord of Villersexel. He married the great granddaughter Geoffrey de Charnay a Templar Grand Master. This is to say this Knights Templar family, and thus the Knights Templars, owned and protected the Shroud of Turin that they may have seized at Ascalon along with a great treasure which would account for the large number of castle owned by this very large Templar family. Never has such a constellation of Knights Templars gathered in one place, under one roof as they did come Sunday in Fontenotte.
Amaury and Othon de La Roche brought Jacque de Molay into the Templar Order, the last Grand Master. Amaury disappears from history, it alleged he was in keeping of the Templar Treasure. Did he go to Holland where the Roesmont live, they members of the Swan Brethren and Masters of Janskirk church?

Templars Asleep In Abbey Bellevaux
Posted on February 15, 2013 by Royal Rosamond Press
I just found the Abbey Bellevaux where the Lords of Rougemont, and the Bishops of Besançon are buried. The Rougemonts were Knights Templar and owners of the Shroud of Turin as were the Lords of La Roche. Pons La Roche was the founder of Bellevaux where very possibley my Rougemont ancestors are buried. Pons is close kindred of the De Bar and Habsburg family. Why would the Habsburg keep their connection to the Knights Templar and Shroud of Turin a secret? The Habsburgs were ‘defenders of the Catholic faith’.
I am going to make a pilgrimage to this Abbey Bellevaux and own the end of my book. I am looking for backers of my expedition. Who would like to go with?
The Lords of Rougemont and Ferrette also owned Florimont (mountain of flowers) castle where modern day (1785) Knights of Ferrette gathered, and a Raja M built a house dedicated to the troubadours. (1892) Are we looking at the first pseudo-history of the Templars?
Thibaud Rougemont was a co-fpunder of the Priory Marast.

Living Museum of the Holy Democratic Grail
Posted on July 10, 2013by Royal Rosamond Press
I have long been envious of Templar scholars who travel, they given the money to do so by publishers and folks who support their cause, which in some cases is to find proof Jesus founded a lineage of divine royals who have blessed western man with many attributes, but, not with the Gift of Democracy.
When you are a British subject, ones history if full of royal history and their reign over commoners. thus, any theory that these royals were bid to do the will of Jesus in any manner, falls short of claiming Jesus and God wanted us to be ruled in a Democratic manner. Having pointed this out to several Templar groups I belonged to, I found myself ousted, set out in the gutter because I refused to straddle the fence and pretend I am a wanna-be royalist member of the British empire. Being an American citizen of a true democracy, I am automatically disqualified by all European – thinkers?
Yesterday I took a train trip to Salem Oregon that I had signed up for month earlier. I did not know what our destination was the Willamette Heritage Center until I arrived at Mill. I was blown away because this mill looked like the Rosamond Mill in Almonte Canada. When I began to question the woman at the desk, I felt faint, because she is telling me Marion County was named after Marion Francis the Swamp Fox. I had her repeat this so I could capture this amazing fact on camera, for, here is the core of my blogs, and search for the Rose of the World Grail. I told this woman my grandfather Frank Rosamond was named after Francis, as were other Rosamonds because James and his brother, Samuel Rosamond, fought alongside Francis. Also, the Witherspoon family named their descendents after Francis. According to the historian at the Marion County historical Society located next to the mill, early settlers had read the book the ‘Life of General Francis Marion. Unbelievable! What is going on here? Here is the marriage of the Rosamond and Benton family history that also came together when Christine Rosamond Presco married Garth Benton. There is a Benton County.
I took photos of the beams that reminded me of the photos of the beams in the Rosamond Mill.

A visit to the Willamette Heritage Center at The Mill is a stroll through the history of the Willamette Valley. The five-acre campus is home to fourteen historic structures that present the stories and richness of Oregon’s past.https://www.youtube.com/embed/GrSUg9Y7YXc?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en&autohide=2&wmode=transparent
Pioneer buildings at the Willamette Heritage Center at The Mill take visitors back to the early settlement of western Oregon. The 1841 Jason Lee House, arguably the oldest standing wooden frame house in Oregon, pre-dates the first wagon trains crossing the Oregon Trail. These structures provide a glimpse into the lives of the missionaries and pioneering families when these early founders were putting down roots in the Valley.
The 1895 Thomas Kay Woolen Mill, one of the best-preserved Victorian-Age factories in the West and designated an American Treasure by the National Park Service, vividly tells the story of industrialization in the West. See how it was to work in what was once a leading textile factory in Oregon, the legacy of which is continued today by Pendleton Woolen Mills. Changing exhibitions at the Willamette Heritage Center at The Mill explore and highlight the rich and diverse cultural heritage of the Mid-Willamette Valley.https://www.youtube.com/embed/S3BNit3ZhAc?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en&autohide=2&wmode=transparent
One Large County
It was not always so. In the early 1840s, when officials delineated the four districts that comprised the Oregon Country, Champoeg/Marion stretched east from the Willamette to the Great Divide and south to the California and Nevada borders. By 1853, when Washington Territory was separated from Oregon, the northern, southern, and western borders remained as they are today but, easterly, the County extended to the Rocky Mountains. Not until 1856 did Marion County acquire its present boundaries.
Name Change to Marion
Champoeg County had been renamed Marion in September of 1849 – – a total departure from the previous use of local names as the other three original districts were Clackamas, Yamhill, and Tuality. As of Oregon’s receiving Territorial status, many new counties were formed from those districts: Washington, Linn, Benton, and Polk (all of which reflected a place or person significant to Oregon’s history).
How, then to account for Marion, named in honor of a Revolutionary War hero, General Francis Marion, the legendary “Swamp Fox?” As General Marion was long gone from the American scene by that time, having died in South Carolina in 1795, and, as most of the new Oregon officials had not served with Marion’s militia troops in the Revolution at all, there must have been some other reason for his name being chosen for a county 3,000 miles away.
It is tempting to speculate that some of the earliest settlers might have been from South Carolina and urged the adoption of one of their state’s most illustrious heroes for the County name. Not so in this case, for most were Yankees from New England, New York, and points in the Northern tier of states; none had originally come from South Carolina, although there were two Southerners prominent in Oregon’s Provisional government: Georgian James O’Neil (who had provided the form for Oregon’s Constitution), and Virginian Joseph L. Meek (Oregon’s first U.S. Marshal).
There is however, the possibility that one of Oregon’s very earliest settlers actually knew of General Marion during the Revolution, William Cannon. By 1780, the main theater of action in the War had moved to the Southern colonies; Cannon, born in 1762 Virginia, would have been old enough to serve with some of the Southern militia units and, either heard firsthand of Marion’s exploits, or may have even met him on the battlefield.
Another possible explanation may be that pre-1849 settlers had come from states that already had Marion Counties, or they were familiar with counties by that name through which they had passed on their way to Oregon. In the Eastern states were 14 so-named counties, the closest to Oregon being that of Marion County, Iowa, and one Eastern county even had a Salem for its Marion County seat – – Illinois. Those Eastern states with Marion Counties in them were Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. Adding Oregon, Kansas, and West Virginia later, the total is now 17.
A further logical reason behind the change from Champoeg to Marion at that particular point in time is that the latest of at least three version of General Marion’s life had been published just five years before, extolling the hero’s exploits in the War for Independence. Or, perhaps, the choice of Marion for our County’s name was simply a combination of all three of these circumstances.

One of my grandfathers was named after Francis Marion ‘The Swamp Fox’ who fought the British in the thick growth of the swamp.
Marion Francis “Frank” Rosamond (1848-1935)
Above is a photograph of Bennett Rosamond the Grand Master of the Orange Order in Canada. Bennett is with members of Lodge 389 in Lanark, or, Almonte. The image on the banner is that of William of Orange who is carried in Orange Parades. That is Bennett on the far right, looking like Gandalf, or, a Levite Prophet.
According to the History of the Rosemond Family by Leland Rosemond, the Rosamond family were members of the Orange Order in Leitrim Ireland, and fled to Canada after a Rosamond son killed a Catholic lad who was invading the Rosamond home with a gang bent on doing my kindred harm.
Marion Francis “Frank” Rosamond (1848-1935)
Francis Marion (c. 1732 – February 27, 1795[1]) was a military officer who served in the American Revolutionary War. Acting with Continental Army and South Carolina militia commissions, he was a persistent adversary of the British in their occupation of South Carolina in 1780 and 1781, even after the Continental Army was driven out of the state in the Battle of Camden.
Due to his irregular methods of warfare, he is considered one of the fathers of modern guerrilla warfare, and is credited in the lineage of the United States Army Rangers. He is known as the Swamp Fox.
The British especially hated Marion and made repeated efforts to neutralize his force, but Marion’s intelligence gathering was excellent and that of the British was poor, due to the overwhelming Patriot loyalty of the populace in the Williamsburg area.
Colonel Banastre Tarleton was sent to capture or kill Marion in November 1780; he despaired of finding the “old swamp fox”, who eluded him by travelling along swamp paths. It was Tarleton who gave Marion his nom de guerre when, after unsuccessfully pursuing Marion’s troops for over 26 miles through a swamp, he gave up and swore “[a]s for this damned old fox, the Devil himself could not catch him.”[6] Once Marion had shown his ability at guerrilla warfare, making himself a serious nuisance to the British, Gov. John Rutledge (in exile in North Carolina) commissioned him a brigadier general of state troops.
Marion was also tasked with combating groups of freed slaves working or fighting alongside the British. He received an order from the Governor of South Carolina, to execute any blacks suspected of carrying provisions or gathering intelligence for the enemy “agreeable to the laws of this State”.[7]
Benjamin meets with his former commanding officer Colonel Harry Burwell (Chris Cooper) and is given the rank of colonel to lead the local colonial militia due to his combat experience, tasked with keeping Lord Cornwallis’s (Tom Wilkinson) British regiments pinned south through guerrilla warfare. French Major Jean Villeneuve (Tchéky Karyo) helps train the militia and promises more French aid. Benjamin’s militia harass British supply lines, capture goods including some of Cornwallis’ belongings, and burn half the bridges and ferries leading to Charleston. Lord Cornwallis perceives these actions as uncivilized and blames Tavington for creating this reaction with his brutal tactics. Irritated at his lack of progress and insulted by Benjamin’s clever ploy to free some of the captured militia, Cornwallis reluctantly allows Tavington to use whatever means necessary.
Bennett may have been a Freemason as well – and an Oddfellow. There is a long history of the Rosamonds belonging to Guilds. They were members of the Swan Brethren.

The Ulster-Scots and the Rosamond Mill
Posted on April 16, 2013 by Royal Rosamond Press
Today at 1:30 P.M. I will be seeing an attorney in order to DISINHERIT my daughter, Heather Hanson, and make Jennifer Dundon, my Heir. I do this because my daughter is stupid, and Jennifer is a Historian. I can’t take our amazing family history with me, and my daughter hates my history. I have very little hope that my grandson, Tyler Hunt, will have an interest in his family, because he is being raised to be stupid too.
What I am going to leave Jennifer Dundon is my Intellectual Property. After I reveal the Norse Grail tomorrow, the name Rosamond will forever be associated with the Grail. Rosamond is a Family Brand Name, a Trademark I have developed over the years. It is associated with the Hobbit stories as well. I have long seen the Dundons as the Dunadan.
“In J. R. R. Tolkien’s legendarium, the Dúnedain (singular: Dúnadan, “man of the west”) were a race of Men descended from the Númenóreans who survived the sinking of their island kingdom and came to Eriador in Middle-earth, led by Elendil and his sons, Isildur and Anárion. They are also called the Men of the West and the Men of Westernesse (direct translations of the Sindarin term). They settled mainly in Arnor and Gondor.”
“Intellectual property (IP) is a legal concept which refers to creations of the mind for which exclusive rights are recognized.[1] Under intellectual property law, owners are granted certain exclusive rights to a variety of intangible assets, such as musical, literary, and artistic works; discoveries and inventions; and words, phrases, symbols, and designs. Common types of intellectual property rights include copyright, trademarks, patents, industrial design rights, trade dress, and in some jurisdictions trade secrets.”
Last week I had dinner with the Dundons. I tried to engage Jeremy Dundon in a conversation about his post on the Hobbits, to no avail. Like so many he is content to be a master of Pseudohistory. I percieve he thinks I am mad, but, masters of fake history are threatened by what I am doing, not just for my family, but, the family of Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor. Liz and I share the same grandfather. When I assicate the name of this famous actreess with the Grail, many will take note.
Above is a photp of me with Dottie Witherspoon who desends from John Knox Witherspoon ‘The Signer’ and John Knox the Father of the Reformation. This link is in question because John Knox married Mary Stewart, who I and all Rosamonds are kin to via the marriage of the world famous artist, Christine Rosamond Benton.

Billy Boys originated in the 1920s as the signature tune of the Brigton Boys, a Protestant street gang in Glasgow led by Billy Fullerton. The gang often clashed with Catholic gangs such as the Norman Conks.

In 1825, in the village of Fenagh in county Leitrim in Ireland, a
gang of Catholic youths attacked the Rosamond home. The Rosamonds were
staunch Protestants. James, aged 20 (born 1805) and his brother Edward, aged
15, attempted to protect their mother. A shot was fired by Edward and a
youth was dead. The boys fled to Canada. James went to Merrickville where he
worked for James Merrick as a weaver. Edward, still fearing arrest, worked
his way eventually to Memphis, Tennessee.
I am looking for descendants of Philip Rosemond and Moses Morton Rosemond
who lived in Guernsey County, OH in the mid-1800s. This family descended
from a James Rosemond who lived in County Leitrim, Ireland in the early
1700s. Other members of this same family settled in Lanark, Ontario, Canada.
The southern Rosamond family is also said to be descended from this same
family, as are the Rosamond families in Australia and New Zealand. I am
trying to tie all the branches of the family together. The information on
the family in Guernsey County, OH is shown below. I’d appreciate hearing
from anyone who has any information regarding this family.
The reference for the earlier generations of this family is the booklet “The
History of the Rosemond Family” by Leland Eugene Rosemond, 1939.
Thanks.
Descendants of Moses Morton Rosemond
Every fine day Rosamunda walked the hills, seldom seeing another living creature other than sheep, or, very rarely, a doe or faun. She did not walk south to Hobbiton, however, except on errands or for an appointed visit. She had not forgotten her “understanding” with Bilbo. And Bilbo did not forget her, either.
While I don’t necessarily love all the changes Mr Jackson has made to the Hobbit, I absolutely love the music that went with it, and what that has inspired others to do; e.g. this:

Two days ago I awoke and wondered how best to tell my readers how
the Rougemonts became the Orangemen and Ulstermen, and how their
Dream that was forced flee the ancient lands of their ancestors,
came to dwell in America. Then it struck me, the very ground that
lay at my feet rose up and gave me a good bump, for we go to where
we have been, and back again, and it was time to bring the
Grandfather’s home. And we go there with the words Tolkien’s
Rosamunda, and we return with the words of my grandfather, Royal
Rosamond, for they are very much the same.
I jumped out of bed and rushed to my computer. Had any other writer
taken note of how similar the Hillbillies are to the Hobbits? In no
time I found the observations of the author, Karlton Douglas. I then
went to my book shelf and pulled out ‘Ravola of Thunder Mountain’
published in 1947 the years my late sister was born. Inside the
cover is this dedication;
“To BERTHA MAY ROSAMOND (now Mrs. Bigalow), my second daughter, who
has steadfastly clung to the belief that her Father would leave
Literary Footprints on the SANDS OF TIME.

On the evening before my frined Hollis Williams died, I got a call from my kin and old freinds, Micahel Dundon who wanted to move from Hawaiwi back to Oregon where his three chilcen and numerous grandchildren live. I told him I think my friend is dying, but, refused to let me take him to the hospital. I was glad to have an old freind to talk to about this, maybe he had an idea as what to do. What I got, was total silence, and then this;
“When are we going to talk about me?”
For a couple of months I had been getting calls from Michael whom I knew since he was fsixteen. His older brother married my younger sister when she was fifteen. Jim Dundon was twenty four. Micahel was worried sick about this move,and sought my help in making a soft landing in the States. I told him I would do all I could to help.
The Williamite war in Ireland (1689–91) was fought between Jacobites who supported the restoration of the Catholic James II to the throne of England and Williamites who supported the Protestant William of Orange. The Protestant Ulster community, including the Scots, fought on the Williamite side in the war against Irish Catholics and their French allies. The fear of a repeat of the massacres of 1641, fear of retribution for religious persecution, as well as their wish to hold onto lands which had been confiscated from Catholic landowners, were all principal motivating factors.
The Williamite forces, composed of British, Dutch and Danish armies as well as troops raised in Ulster, ended Jacobite resistance by 1691, confirming the Protestant monopoly on power in Ireland. Their victories at Derry, the Boyne and Aughrim are still commemorated by the Orange Order into the 21st century.
Finally, another major influx of Scots into northern Ireland occurred in the late 1690s, when tens of thousands of people fled a famine in Scotland to come to Ulster.[9][10]
The Ulster Scots (Ulster-Scots: Ulstèr-Scotch;[3] Irish: Ultais) are an ethnic group[4] that has lived in Ireland since the 17th Century, and are predominantly subjects of the United Kingdom. Their ancestors were Lowland Scottish and Northern English people, many being from the “Border Reivers” culture. These people migrated to the island of Ireland in large numbers with the Plantation of Ulster, a planned process of colonisation which took place under the auspices of James VI of Scotland and I of England on land often confiscated from the Irish nobility, most extensively in the Province of Ulster. The term “Ulster-Scots” refers to both these colonists of the 17th century and, less commonly, to the Gallowglass who began to arrive from what is now northwest Scotland centuries earlier.
Ulster-Scots were largely descended from colonists from Galloway, Ayrshire, and the Scottish Borders Country, although some descend from people further north in the Scottish Lowlands and the Highlands. Ulster-Scots emigrated in significant numbers to the United States and all corners of the then-worldwide British Empire — Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa along with the British West Indies — and to a lesser extent to Argentina and Chile. Scotch-Irish is a traditional term for Ulster Scots who later emigrated to what is now the United States; “Scots-Irish” is a more recent form of the American term,[5] and is not to be confused with Irish-Scots, i.e., recent Irish immigrants to Scotland.
Margaret Knox née Stewart (1547- after 1612), was a Scottish noblewoman and the second wife of Scottish reformer John Knox, whom she married when she was 17 years old and he 54. The marriage caused consternation from Mary, Queen of Scots, as the couple had married without having obtained royal consent.[1]
[edit] Family
Margaret Stewart was born in 1547, the daughter of Andrew Stewart, 2nd Lord Ochiltree, and Agnes Cunningham. The family was staunchly Protestant, and also related to the Scottish royal family and the Hamiltons.[2] Margaret had three sisters and four brothers, including James Stewart, Earl of Arran.
[edit] Marriages and children
On 26 March 1564, she married her first husband, John Knox, leader of the Scottish Reformation, and a close friend of her father. His first wife, Marjorie Bowes had died in December 1560, leaving him with two small sons, Nathaniel and Eleazer. The marriage was strongly criticised by Queen Mary, as they had married without having first obtained her consent. Margaret, as the Queen’s relative,[3] was required to ask the monarch for permission to marry.
The couple made their home on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, and together they had three daughters:[4]
Martha Knox (1565–1592), married Alexander Fairlie, by whom she had issue.
Margaret Knox (b.1567), married Zachary Pont, by whom she had issue.
Elizabeth Knox (1570- January 1622), married in 1594, John Welsh, minister of Ayr, by whom she had issue.
Margaret served as Knox’s secretary, and later, when he became ill, his nurse. Following Knox’s death in November 1572, the General Assembly, at the suggestion of the Regent Morton, allowed Margaret to receive, for the year succeeding her husband’s death, his pension of 500 merks.[5]
In January 1574, she married her second husband, Sir Andrew Ker of Faldonside. He had been part of the conspiracy of Protestant nobles, led in March 1566 by Patrick Ruthven, 3rd Lord Ruthven, who had stabbed to death Queen Mary’s Italian secretary, David Rizzio in the presence of the Queen, who was almost six months pregnant at the time.[6] It was Ker who had held his pistol at Mary’s side, while she was constrained to watch Rizzio’s killing.[7]
Together they had a number of children.
On 8 April 1574, a Charter of Alienation confirmed Kerr’s provision for Margaret, in her widowhood, of the liferent of a third of ancestral lands in Haddingtonshire.[5] Kerr died on 19 December 1599, and she did not remarry.

The spring sun was warm now, brightening as with happiness in the
open fields, the broad land resembling a crazy quilt because of the
wooded patches everywhere. Already the wild grapes were in bloom,
and if the sun continued smiling there would be, in every Hillman’s
cellar, many, many jars of grape juice for making jelly, and wine
for those who knew the trick of making it. Those pink-white blossoms
on the pale yellow bushes hard against warm hillside rocks were
huckleberries in bloom. The wild grapes and the huckleberries once
ripe, tangier here in Shannon County, Missouri, than most any other
place in the Ozarks.
I walked on, for I had yet a long way to go before nightfall. Now it
was but a mite after mid-day. After leaving the train at Winona, I
could have perhaps caught a ride to Eminence had I stayed with the
wagon road instead of footing it up the spur-track leading northward
to cross Jack’s Fork at the Hodge place where I left to journey up
Possum Trot toward Little Wonder Schoolhouse and Tucked Away Church
House, above which in the ride to the north, I lived – the place
where I was born and which I called home, where my parents had
settled in their youth and planned some day to die. The way was
long, the trail lonesome and ofttimes steep. As wild a region as
ever grew outdoors. No matter. I wanted to stretch my legs and let
the April breeze take the orders of a Saint Louis foundry away from
me.
I went home on a visit once a year – had already worked five years
up there, long enough to forget how to talk (or write) hillbilly
talk, it seemed like. Still, I didn’t mind being called a hillbilly.
Life in the Ozarks had a tang. I liked everything about them, from
the blooming of the redbud and dogwood in springtime to pumpkin pies
and possum and coon hunting and listening to fox hounds in the fall.
I was born and bred here. This wilderness was in my blood. I felt as
much a part of it as does a back log to a fireplace. I was twenty
six years old now, and when I become fifty, I intend to retire, and
go sit on pappy’s rocker there on the front porch and rock and smoke
and think until I die.
Here on the side of Grapevine Mountain, high above the glistening of
Jack’s Fork below, for days and weeks and years back into the dim
past she had lived in splendid isolation, the silence, save for the
passing Hillman on the road below her cabin, as vast as the greenery
of the heaving land-billows rising higher and ever higher toward the
summit of the far ridge leaning against the blue heaven on the west,
below which was the great spring from which the stream Jack’s Fork
nursed and found perpetual substance. A skinny, faded creature in
her late forties, seemingly as antiquated as the furniture in the
two small rooms in her rustic cabin, yet she possessed the amazing
gift of cheerfulness. Even though her income was very meager, yet
she contrived to spread a spirit of near-opulence and comforting
friendliness about herself which was as convincing as was Mr.
Russell’s plush appearing abundance. In summer she mothered her
pansy beds, naming the little faces, as she called them, after the
little girls she taught in winter, the boys unslighted by living as
vegetables in her garden, the more refractory being a gooseberry
busy or wild plum tree.”
“From first sight, even the site of the new cottage had enchanted
her, dug as it was into the southeast side of a grassy hill in the
midst of Boffin lands, populated with Boffin sheep. There was a
little copse below it, just to the side, and a spring-fed well, all
of which reminded her of her childhood home. The place had come down
to Odovacar through his mother’s side, a Boffin. He had used it as
asort of base, when he and his friends had gone out hunting.
Theywould stock the little hole with gear and rations. Then, with
their bows, and a pony for their gear, they would make forays west
ornorth, towards the Downs or up to the Moors, or, closer still,
intoBindbale Wood. But that was years ago, when the game had not
yetmoved so far off. When Rosamunda had viewed it more carefully,
she saw the hole was inconsiderable disrepair. Also, it was a bit
too small. She had new rooms dug, so that there was a parlour and a
kitchen, a bedroom for each (and one to spare), along with extra
chambers further back fo rstore. When it was finished, it suited
Rosamunda very well. Especially, she loved the light. Situated
facing south-east, the light poured through the windows in the
mornings, her favourite time of the day. And, when she stood
outside, she could see the land stretching east and south far into
the distance. Illuminated by the late afternoonsun, the prospect was
especially fine. From the top of the little knoll that made the
cottage’s roof, she could see far to the northand west, where sheep
dotted the rolling hills. The sky at nighttook her breath away. And,
all day, the birds sang, the wind blew,and the Water, which ran
nearby, just to the west, mostly narrow andquick as it came down out
of Long Cleeve and Needlehole, could justbe heard when the wind
dropped and everything was still. She loved its peace and quiet, so
tucked away and so private. Yet,it was just an hour’s walk over the
hills to Bag End or to Hobbiton. Overhill, to the east, was even
closer. Every fine day Rosamunda walked the hills, seldom seeing
another living creature other than sheep, or, very rarely, a doe or
faun. She did not walk south to Hobbiton, however, except on errands
orfor an appointed visit. She had not forgotten
her “understanding”with Bilbo. And Bilbo did not forget her, either.
Regularly, he sent her gifts of wine or ham or fruit in season, as
tokens of his neighbourly regard. She appreciated the way he could
show marks ofparticular notice, without making her feel the burden
of obligation.”
Ann Witherspoon was born before 1771. She was the daughter of John Witherspoon.1 She married Reverend Samuel Stanhope Smith.

Born in Carleton Place, Upper Canada, the eldest son of James Rosamond and Margaret Wilson, Rosamond was educated at the grammar school in Carleton Place. He was president and managing director of the Rosamond Woollen Company and vice-president and managing director of the Almonte Knitting Company. He was Reeve and Mayor of Almonte. He was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons in a 1891 by-election for the riding of Lanark North. A Conservative, he was re-elected in 1896 and 1900.
In 1825, in the village of Fenagh in county Leitrim in Ireland, a
gang of Catholic youths attacked the Rosamond home. The Rosamonds were
staunch Protestants. James, aged 20 (born 1805) and his brother Edward, aged
15, attempted to protect their mother. A shot was fired by Edward and a
youth was dead. The boys fled to Canada. James went to Merrickville where he
worked for James Merrick as a weaver. Edward, still fearing arrest, worked
his way eventually to Memphis, Tennessee.
They were also the setting for social events which brightened the lives of Almonte people, such as the Masonic Ball held at Cole’s Hotel in January, 1868 when the hall was decorated with evergreens and mirrors which reflected the swirling crinolines of the dancers. The annual suppers given to their employers by the male employees of Rosamond’s Woolen Company were sometimes held at Cole’s Hotel. After a copious supper the evening consisted of toasts and speeches interspersed with songs and music, often provided by the Almonte Brass Band.
Ulster Scots Founding Fathers
The rapid development of the Ards and north Down was due to certain Ulster-Scots gentlemen, namely James Hamilton, Hugh Montgomery and their Scottish tenants, known as “The Founding Fathers of the Ulster-Scots.” They arrived in May 1606, and these Ulster Scots settlers, Hamilton and Montgomery acquired two thirds of the huge O’Neill estates; one third was given to Hugh Montgomery by the O’Neills as a reward for freeing Con O’Neill from jail in Carrickfergus and for securing him a Royal pardon from Montgomery’s friend the new King James I. James Hamilton, friend of the King used his influence to acquire one third of the O’Neill estate. These new Ulster Scots settlers arrived several years before the Plantation of Ulster occured.
On his return to Scotland he led the Protestant Reformation in Scotland, in partnership with the Scottish Protestant nobility. The movement may be seen as a revolution, since it led to the ousting of Mary of Guise, who governed the country in the name of her young daughter Mary, Queen of Scots.

The Ulster Scots (Ulster-Scots: Ulstèr-Scotch;[3] Irish: Ultais) are an ethnic group[4] that has lived in Ireland since the 17th Century, and are predominantly subjects of the United Kingdom. Their ancestors were Lowland Scottish and Northern English people, many being from the “Border Reivers” culture. These people migrated to the island of Ireland in large numbers with the Plantation of Ulster, a planned process of colonisation which took place under the auspices of James VI of Scotland and I of England on land often confiscated from the Irish nobility, most extensively in the Province of Ulster. The term “Ulster-Scots” refers to both these colonists of the 17th century and, less commonly, to the Gallowglass who began to arrive from what is now northwest Scotland centuries earlier.
Ulster-Scots were largely descended from colonists from Galloway, Ayrshire, and the Scottish Borders Country, although some descend from people further north in the Scottish Lowlands and the Highlands. Ulster-Scots emigrated in significant numbers to the United States and all corners of the then-worldwide British Empire — Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa along with the British West Indies — and to a lesser extent to Argentina and Chile. Scotch-Irish is a traditional term for Ulster Scots who later emigrated to what is now the United States; “Scots-Irish” is a more recent form of the American term,[5] and is not to be confused with Irish-Scots, i.e., recent Irish immigrants to Scotland.

In a paper, like this, it is rather unfortunate that I am not permitted to specify more in detail that which all advanced Orangemen know and understand as the result of initiation (view Orange degrees in full). Doubtless many Orangemen, of less thought and study, have not put a name to their belief coming from their ceremonies of introduction to the various degrees. A child knows pain when it has no word for pain. A rose gives out sweet perfume to man and animals alike, though they may or may not have words to express their sensations. In like manner, tens of thousands of Orangemen have become undoubted believers in our much-loved teaching, long before they heard of British Israelism. But as with the child and pain, so with the hundreds of thousands of Canadian Orangemen who have taken only a few of the degrees; they are permanent believers. I have had the pleasure, privilege and great responsibility of speaking to many hundreds of Orangemen in Canada on this subject. In every case I have found that it required but little explanation and no argument to discover that as soon as the language was given and the terms explained my audiences would rise practically to a man and manifest appreciation of the belief and facts.
I now affirm, as a matter of knowledge, that practically every strongly intelligent Orangeman in the British Empire is a believer in Anglo Israel teaching, in general terms. He cannot be otherwise, or he has not understood or grasped the significance of his vows. Is not this statement of prime importance? I think this is the first time this affirmation has been given to the public for perusal.
John Knox Witherspoon was born at Gifford, a parish of Yester, at East Lothian, Scotland, as the eldest child of the Reverend James Alexander Witherspoon and Anne Walker,[3] a descendant of John Welsh of Ayr and John Knox.[4] This latter claim of Knox descent though ancient in origin is long disputed and without primary documentation.[5] He attended the Haddington Grammar School, and obtained a Master of Arts and Bachelor of Divinity from the University of St. Andrews. He also obtained a Master of Arts from the University of Edinburgh in 1739. He remained at the University to study divinity.

I am looking for descendants of Philip Rosemond and Moses Morton Rosemond
who lived in Guernsey County, OH in the mid-1800s. This family descended
from a James Rosemond who lived in County Leitrim, Ireland in the early
1700s. Other members of this same family settled in Lanark, Ontario, Canada.
The southern Rosamond family is also said to be descended from this same
family, as are the Rosamond families in Australia and New Zealand. I am
trying to tie all the branches of the family together. The information on
the family in Guernsey County, OH is shown below. I’d appreciate hearing
from anyone who has any information regarding this family.
The reference for the earlier generations of this family is the booklet “The
History of the Rosemond Family” by Leland Eugene Rosemond, 1939.
Thanks.

Cyprian Rougemont visits a deserted mansion at Stepney Green, where he finds the portrait of his ancestor (of the same name), a Rosicrucian brother of the 16th century, one of the Illuminati. Satan has appeared to him in a dream and promised him an ancestral treasure, the price for which is his own soul, or that of Auriol Darcy. Cyprian strikes the portrait and a plaque falls away, revealing the access to the ancestral tomb. There in a seven-sided vault lit by the ever-burning lamp and painted with kabbalistic symbols he finds the uncorrupt body with a book of mysteries, a vial of infernal potion, and a series of chests filled with gold, silver and jewels. With use of the potion, he lures Auriol into a compact whereby he is given a magnificent mansion in St James’s Square and £120,000, in exchange for a female victim whenever Rougemont requires one from him. Thus Auriol can win the woman he loves, Elizabeth Talbot; but Rougemont, once the contract is signed, demands Elizabeth Talbot as his first victim, in a week’s time. Auriol seeks to defy him and to marry her within the week, but he is thwarted and Elizabeth is abducted on the seventh night

Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton PC (25 May 1803 – 18 January 1873), was an English politician, poet, playwright, and novelist. He was immensely popular with the reading public and wrote a stream of bestselling novels which earned him a considerable fortune. He coined the phrases “the great unwashed”,[1] “pursuit of the almighty dollar”, “the pen is mightier than the sword”, as well as the infamous opening line “It was a dark and stormy night”.[2]

On February 11th. I summonded the Rougemont Templars from the dead in what can be called “sabre rattling”. Severl Neo-Nazi groups have clamed the Templars are on their side. They are liars. “A top Russian official appeared to threaten France with “real war” on Tuesday as he responded to saber-rattling comments from the French finance minister about the effects of punitive Western sanctions.
In an interview with French radio on Tuesday morning, Bruno Le Maire said the West aimed to “cause the collapse of the Russian economy” through an “economic and financial war on Russia,” for which the Russian population “will also pay the consequences.”
Dmitry Medvedev, Russia’s former prime minister and now deputy chairman of its security council, was quick to respond on Twitter.
He said: “A French minister said today that they have declared an economic war on us. Watch what you say, gentlemen! And don’t forget that in the history of mankind, economic wars have often turned into real wars.”
