Here is proof Cynthia McCarthy and Denny Lawhern violated my Copyrights that go back to 2002.

American and European taxpayers are going to spend a trillion dollars containing the ambitions of Putin who wants to restore Czar rule. He know the genealogies. Georg Friedrich Ferdinand, wants to restore German royalty.

John Presco

Georg Friedrich Ferdinand, Prince of Prussia, (legal name: Georg Friedrich Ferdinand Prinz von Preußen)[1] (born 10 June 1976) is the current head of the House of Hohenzollern, the former ruling dynasty of the German Empire and of the Kingdom of Prussia. He is the great-great-grandson and historic heir of William II, the last German Emperor and King of Prussia, who was deposed and, initially, went into exile upon Germany’s defeat in World War I in 1918.

At high noon on July 27, 2024, I John Presco found proof, Denny Lawhern oppressed my posts on the Belmont Historical Society, and, he wanted me to go away – AND DIE! But more than that – he wanted to UPROOT my family DNA from Belmont – even more than he had!

I did not hear from Lawhern because he was scouring my blog to find evidence I was not related to Carl Janke. Not once did he or Cynthia McCarthy comment on the photographs in the Stuttmeister-Janke crypt of me introducing my daughter and newborn grandson – TO THEIR ROOTS. Any genealogist would have been thrilled to help me with MY RESEARH of my family tree, accept the co-founder of the Belmont Historical Society. The really BIG QUESTION, is, Did Denny research Doris Vannier’s FAMILY TREE – and find me? The next BIG QUESTION, is, did Denny find my DNA Battle with Ian Sinclair? I think he did. Then, he looked at the star of his DNA,

Awakening America’s Royal Muse

The Palace

Several years ago I was invited by Anne Fermor to go to England and meet Lord Hesketh. I had to decline because I did not have the money. If the Rice Trust had distributed earlier, then I could have gone.

Anne and I spent many hours on the phone discussing our genealogies. I put her in touch with Peter Sharon who inherited the Sharon genealogy and was considering rekindling the Sharon Family Reunion at the Palace Hotel in Shan Francisco uilt by William Ralston who lived in Ralston Hall where William Stuttmeister marred Augusta Janke. When William Windsor got engaged to Kate Middleton I talked about having this reunion coincide with the royal wedding where two houses across the water can be united. Flora Sharon lived at Ralston Hall and Easton-Neston. Flora Hesketh just married a wealthy banker, and was once considered a suitable mate for Prince Georg Frederick who just got married.

Anne Fermor and I exchanged e-mails and discussed the family tie to John Witherspoon, the Signer, who appears to descend from John Knox who married a Stuart. The Peerage had John within, but gives none of his history. Is this deliberate, and all he being a Patriot? My niece, Drew Benton, is kin to John and the Stuarts via the union of Hon. Mary Stewart and Phineas Preston.

Above is a photograph of Christine Rosamond Benton, at the Getty Mansion.

Hon. Mary Stewart and Phineas Preston

She was the daughter of William Stewart, 1st Viscount Mountjoy and Hon. Mary Coote.1,2 From 1692, her married name became Preston.2 From 1709, her married name became Forbes. As a result of her marriage, Hon. Mary Stewart was styled as Countess of Granard on 24 August 1734.

Mary Preston2 b. 1696, d. 1749
Colonel John Preston+2 b. 1699, d. 1747

Florence Louise Breckinridge was born in November 1881 at California, U.S.A..2 She was the daughter of John Witherspoon Breckinridge and Florence Louise Tevis.1 She married Thomas Fermor-Hesketh, 1st Baron Hesketh, son of Sir Thomas George Fermor-Hesketh, 7th Bt. and Florence Emily Sharon, on 9 September 1909 at British Embassy Church, Paris, France.1 She died on 4 March 1956 at age 74 at Easton Neston, Towcester, Northamptonshire, England.3,4 She was buried at St. Mary’s Church, Easton Neston, Northamptonshire, England.4
From 9 September 1909, her married name became Fermor-Hesketh.1 As a result of her marriage, Florence Louise Breckinridge was styled as Baroness Hesketh on 25 January 1935.

The eccentric Englishman Lord Hesketh met up with Anthony ‘Bubbles’ Horsley, and the pair entered various Formula Three events around Europe in 1972, with the mission objective simply to have as much fun as possible. Unsurprisingly, given Horsley’s lack of experience, results were thin on the ground.
Hesketh then met up with James Hunt, who had a reputation for being very fast, but also for writing off cars, and at the time was unemployed. Hesketh took on Hunt as one of his drivers for F3.
The Hesketh team had a growing reputation for their playboy style, arriving at races in Rolls-Royce cars, drinking champagne regardless of their results, and checking the entire team into five-star hotels.
By the middle of the season Hunt and “Bubbles” had written off both Formula Three cars. Horsley decided to leave the cockpit, switching to the team management. Hesketh rented a Formula Two March for the rest of 1972, and bought Hunt a Surtees Formula Two car for 1973. Hunt then promptly wrote the car off at the Pau Grand Prix, and in typical style, Hesketh worked out the cost involved in competing in the top flight was hardly more expensive than F2, he decided to move the team up to Formula One.

Easton Neston is a country house near Towcester, Northamptonshire, England, and is part of the Easton Neston Parish. It was designed in the Baroque style by the architect Nicholas Hawksmoor.[1] Easton Neston is thought to be the only mansion which was solely the work of Hawksmoor. From circa 1700 Hawksmoor was to work on many buildings, including Castle Howard and Blenheim Palace, with Sir John Vanbrugh, often providing the technical knowledge to the less qualified Vanbrugh. Hawksmoor’s work, even after their many collaborations, was always more classically severe than Vanbrugh’s. However, Easton Neston predates this partnership by some six years. The house is a Listed building Grade I.[2]
[edit] Architect
Hawksmoor was commissioned to build Easton Neston by Sir William Fermor, later created Lord Leominster;[3] Hawksmoor had been recommended to Fermor by his cousin by marriage Sir Christopher Wren, [4] who had advised on the building of a new mansion on the site circa 1680. However, no details of quite what Wren envisaged survive, and work seems to have ceased following completion of the two service blocks, of which only one survives. Following Fermor’s marriage to an heiress, Catherine Poulett, in 1692, he decided to resurrect the idea of a new mansion, and subsequently Wren’s pupil Hawksmoor received the commission circa

THE former owner of Easton Neston has become the most high profile member of the Conservative party to defect to UKIP.
Lord Alexander Hesketh, who still owns Towcester Racecourse, cites Prime Minister David Cameron ruling out a referendum on the EU as the reason for his defection.
In a statement, Lord Hesketh, who sold Easton Neston to fashion mogul Leon Max in 2005 for £15million, said: “I have been a Conservative all my adult life but the recent decision by the Prime Minister to rule out a referendum on EU membership has angered me greatly.
“On this, and many other matters, UKIP’s views chime with mine and I am delighted to join the party which is fast becoming a real force in British politics.”
Lord Hesketh was treasurer of the Conservative Party between 2003 and 2004 and was chairman of the Conservative Party Foundation between 2003 and 2010.
He held a number of positions within the governments of Margaret Thatcher and John Major, and in May 1991 he was appointed chief whip in the House of Lords by John Major, a position he held for nearly two-and-a-half years.
He launched Formula 1 team Hesketh Racing in the 1970s which found success with British driver James Hunt.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage said: “Over the last few months a number of former Conservatives have joined UKIP as they have become disillusioned with the Conservative Party”

Marriage
On 21 January 2011, Georg Friedrich announced his engagement to HSH Princess Sophie Johanna Maria of Isenburg (born 7 March 1978), who studied business administration in Freiburg and Berlin and works at a firm that offers consulting services for nonprofit business.[8] The civil wedding took place in Potsdam on 25 August 2011,[2] and the religious wedding took place at the Church of Peace in Potsdam on 27 August 2011, in commemoration of the 950th anniversary of the founding of the House of Hohenzollern.[9][10] The religious wedding was also broadcast live by local public television.[2]
Princess Sophie’s parents are Franz-Alexander, Prince of Isenburg and his wife, née Countess Christine von Saurma-Jeltsch.[11] The couple share descent (being 6th cousins once-removed) from Charles II, the first reigning Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and a brother of Charlotte of Mecklenburg, queen consort of George III of the United Kingdom. Princess Sophie’s father is head of the senior branch of the mediatised princely House of Isenburg, known under the Holy Roman Empire and subsequent German Empire as the Büdingen-Birstein line. In 1913 Franz Alexander’s grandfather, Franz Joseph, dropped the und Büdingen zu Birstein suffix from his title as Fürst von Isenburg.
The princess has two brothers, and her elder sisters are, respectively, Archduchess Katharina (born 1971), wife since 2004 of Archduke Martin of Austria-Este, and Princess Isabelle (born 1973), wife since 1998 of Carl, Prince of Wied.

Hesketh has been making love to Miss Florence Sharon , a most charming girl , daughter of Senator Sharon and the engagement was announced in the Chronicle & Newsletter . The American girls knew what they were up to ; they had this cash , which would allow them to become objects of interest .

Also , it was a passport to Europe , to a certain degree of freedom and what they saw as a more sophisticated environment . So they traded money for access to what they saw as the cream of world society.

The new lady of the manor quickly set out to spend some of that money when she found things not entirely to her liking . She had hoped for a ‘rambling, medieval’ home and had to work to instill those qualities in Nicholas Hawksmoor’s graceful Baroque masterpiece of architecture . Florence Sharon had definite ideas of what an English house should look like, and she encouraged her husband to go out and acquire works of art that she thought were right for the house , and she also had a very , very keen eye for luxury , and so the wardrobes or beds or so on tend to be of the best variety and stood the test of time . The admiral’s comfort came at no expense to Easton Neston , which continued to be maintained by a steady flow of American dollars from San Francisco – interrupted , only in 1906 by the great earthquake .

Aha- So thus another connection. Now I am very curious about the German side of my family- my mother’s side…..

Good one, Jon- you’re still awake too I see. I have been finding more Fermor/Farmer links. Earlier today I went to Office depot to photocopy the letters I wrote to you and noticed 2 pages 23 & 25 are missing. Today I also talked with my evil sisters 1st husband to see if she got to anyone in the UK. She may have but is doubtful as at that time not interested in the heritage stuff. Whew. However he cautioned me to protect myself and my mother and warm the English relatives- which I’ve already started to do last trip.
I’m staying up past my usual bedtime to FAX my lease agreement back to the UK to secure my housing there. The time zone difference is a sleep deterrant,,,,
Now and always-
Anne

“He was a great great grandson of John Knox (1505 -1572) and his second wife,
Margaret Stuart (1548 -1612).

Baron Hesketh, of Hesketh in the County Palatine of Lancaster, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1935 for Sir Thomas Fermor-Hesketh, 8th Baronet, who had previously briefly represented Enfield in the House of Commons as a Conservative. As of 2010[update] the titles are held by his grandson, the third Baron, who succeeded his father in 1955. Lord Hesketh held junior ministerial positions in the Conservative administrations of Margaret Thatcher and John Major. However, he lost his seat in the House of Lords after the House of Lords Act 1999 removed the automatic right of hereditary peers to sit in the upper chamber of Parliament.
The Hesketh Baronetcy, of Rufford in the County Palatine of Lancaster, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain in 1761 for Thomas Hesketh, with special remainder to his brother Robert, who succeeded him as second Baronet. The latter’s great-great-grandson, the fifth Baronet, sat as a Conservative Member of Parliament for Preston. His grandson, the eighth Baronet, was elevated to the peerage as Baron Hesketh in 1935.
The former seat of the Barons Hesketh was Easton Neston in Northamptonshire. The house was previously the seat of the Fermor family (Earls of Pomfret since 1721), and came into the Hesketh family through the marriage in 1846 of Sir Thomas George Hesketh, 5th Baronet, to Lady Anna Maria Isabella Fermor, sister and heiress of George Richard William Fermor, 5th and last Earl of Pomfret. However, the house was sold by the current Baron in 2005.
The original seat of the Hesketh family was Rufford Old Hall in the village of Rufford in Lancashire. This house was sold to the National Trust by the first Baron Hesketh in 1936.

Lord Hesketh at Belmont

I had plans for my daughter that her mother and aunt undermined in every CONCIEVABLE way. I discovered Lord Hesketh named his yacht after the Lancashire Witches who were put on trial around the time my ancestor, Reverend John Wilson, and fellow Puritans were conducting Witch Trials. Lord Hesketh sailed his yacht into the Golden Gate in order to marry Florence Emily Sharon, the daughter of William Sharon, who became the President of Bank of America, after William Ralston ‘The Man Who Built San Francisco’ died. I believe Ralston Hall is one of the six portable houses brought from the East Coast by my great grandfather, Carl Janke the co-founder of Belmont. The Hesketh sisters are suitable mates for royals. Prince Georg Friedrich was eyeing them. With my claim to palaces once owned by the Schwarzenberg family, I see a Prussian Kingdom in the West – especially now the neo-Confederate Insurectionists are rigging the way we vote in a Democracy. With the backing of large corporations, we are looking at the formation of feudal dynastic companies who are willing to thwart the rise of Evangelicalville and their Fake King David. The Astors are still in the mix. My kin, Senator Thomas Hart Benton was John Astor’s attorney. John was German.

If California, Oregon, and Washington, become the New Bohemian German State, then the return of the castles would be desirable, and help create a Economic Powerhouse that will compete with China and Russia, while the squalid Confederate Nobodies For Jesus and Ignorance, further digress into hateful savages.

Princess Florence von Preussen

Princess Florence is the great-great-granddaughter of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the last emperor of Germany, and an heiress to the Guinness fortune (her grandmother was Lady Brigid Guinness). Her parents are Prince Frederick of Prussia and Victoria Mancroft. The London-born 35-year-old OKA stylist had a knack for attracting London’s most eligible bachelors: a former flame was Nat Rothschild, the heir to the title of Baron Rothschild. Those days are over now, for back in May she married Old Etonian brewery heir, fund manager and friend to Prince William, James Tollemache. The wedding was attended by Scarlett Johansson, on the arm of former husband, Romain Dauraic. Also in attendance were Samantha Cameron’s parents, the Viscount and Viscountess Astor.

Chapter 1 – Senator Benton and the St. Louis Junto – MarkGoodmansen.com

Thomas Hart Benton came to St. Louis before 1817 hoping to gain political prominence. Benton pushed early for a “Road to India” across the United States to link eastern U.S. trade routes and western routes to the Pacific Ocean for trade with the Orient. In this plan he joined efforts with John Astor and the Missouri representatives of the American Fur Company owned by Astor. Members of the Chouteau family were early founders of St. Louis and their extended family dominated the fur trade and trade with the Indians. They too joined Astor in the American Fur Company. Benton joined August Chouteau in forming the Bank of Missouri in 1817 with Lilburn Boggs as cashier. Promoting his political ambitions, Benton published in a local newspaper his 13 point agenda which included plans to push for a canal to link Lake Michigan with the Illinois River and a canal to link Lake Superior to the Mississippi River. He sought other initiatives to aid his Chouteau friends and associates who were later referred to as the St. Louis Junto. In St. Louis Benton demonstrated his ruthless determination to realize his ambitious plans. He killed an adversary in a duel and forced a closure of a competing bank. Benton was elected to the US Senate in 1822 and quickly secured passage of key legislation to aid his friends and allies.

For more than 20 years Elisabeth Pezold has been suing the Czech government to recover family property confiscated after the Second World War. Pezold, the granddaughter of Prince Adolph Schwarzenberg (1890-1950), has submitted around 150 claims since 1992, many of which have only had their first hearing this year. Pezold is seeking the return of around 55,000 hectares of land that belonged to her grandfather. The estate, valued at hundreds of millions of euros, comprises two palaces, 15 castles, including a Unesco World Heritage Site in Cesky Krumlov, and the vast art collections from those properties. Works include Meissen porcelain, Roentgen furniture and an 85-piece series of 17th-century tapestries. The Schwarzenberg inventories are also believed to include paintings by Titian, Velázquez and Rubens.

Pezold’s long-running restitution claim has been thwarted in the Czech courts because of a unique law, the Lex Schwarzenberg, passed by the Czechoslovakian government in 1947 with the sole aim of stripping Adolph Schwarzenberg of his property. “From 1938 to today, my family has faced continued persecution,” says Elisabeth’s son Adam Pezold. “There is a widespread mentality in the Czech Republic that aristocrats accumulated their wealth by stealing it from the Czech people. Our family bought and inherited the lands over the past 350 years.” In 2002, Elisabeth Pezold sought justice from the United Nations Human Rights Committee. This ruled that she was “repeatedly discriminated against in being denied access to relevant documents, which could have proved her restitution case.” But the verdict carried no judicial weight and Pezold continues to find her case blocked. Last year, Pezold sued the Czech Republic’s Ministry of Culture for suppressing the inventories of her grandfather’s holdings. The case is yet to have a hearing.

THE HON. SOPHIE HESKETH
As the first girl Harry is rumoured to have ever kissed, flaxen-haired Sophia, 26, will no doubt always hold a place in the Prince’s heart. They were last seen dancing together at a charity ball in 2007, despite the fact that Chelsy was also there.

Georg Friedrich, Prince of Prussia – Wikipedia

He owns a two-thirds share of his family’s original seat, Hohenzollern Castle, while the other share is held by the head of the Swabian branch, Karl Friedrich, Prince of Hohenzollern. He also owns the Princes’ Island in the Great Lake of Plön. In 2017 he founded a beer trademark called Kgl. Preußische Biermanufactur (Royal Prussian Beer Manufactory) producing a Pilsner brand called Preussens.

Prince Georg Friedrich continues to claim compensation for land and palaces in Berlin expropriated from his family, a claim begun in March 1991 by his grandfather Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia under the Compensation Act (EALG).[11]

As a Protestant descendant of Queen Victoria, Georg Friedrich was in the line of succession to the British throne from his birth until his marriage in 2011. As he married a Roman Catholic, according to the Act of Settlement 1701, he was thus debarred from the British line of succession until the implementation in 2015 of the Succession to the Crown Act 2013, which restored any succession rights to British dynasts who had earlier forfeited them to marry Roman Catholics.

In mid-2019 it was revealed that Georg Friedrich had filed claims for permanent right of residency for his family in Cecilienhof, or one of two other former Hohenzollern palaces in Potsdam, as well as return of the family library, 266 paintings, an imperial crown and sceptre, and the letters of Empress Augusta Victoria.[24] This sparked a public debate about the legitimacy of these claims and the role of the Hohenzollern during and before the Nazi regime in Germany, specifically Crown Prince Wilhelm‘s involvement.[25][26]

In June 2019, a claim made by Georg Friedrich that Rheinfels Castle be returned to the Hohenzollern family was dismissed by a court. In 1924, the ruined castle had been given to the town of St Goar, under the proviso it was not sold. In 1998 the town leased the ruins to a nearby hotel. His case made the claim that this constituted a breach of the bequest.[27]

She did marry an Englishman, albeit one born in the United States, Waldorf Astor; when he was twelve, his father, William Waldorf Astor had moved the family to England, raising his children in the English aristocratic style. The couple were well matched, as they were both American expatriates with similar temperaments. They were of the same age, and born on the same day, 19 May 1879. Astor shared some of Nancy’s moral attitudes, and had a heart condition that may have contributed to his restraint. After the marriage, the Astors moved into Cliveden, a lavish estate in Buckinghamshire on the River Thames that was a wedding gift from Astor’s father.^[10] Nancy Astor developed as a prominent hostess for the social elite.^[b]

Alexander Spencer-Churchill | Official Profile on The Marque

In 1682, Frederick William, the prince-elector of Brandenburg, who was intensely involved in the navy’s affairs, secured the navy a base at Greetsiel, but they shifted to Emden a year later.

Frederick William died in 1688, and his descendants took no interest in the Brandenburg Navy. Frederick III and his grandson Frederick the Great recognized that they could never compete directly with the great maritime powers and concentrated instead on building the best army in Europe while maintaining good relations with naval powers such as Denmark and the Netherlands. The overseas colonies were eventually sold to the Dutch in 1721. In 1701, Frederick was crowned King in Prussia, marking a shift from Brandenburg to Prussia as the most important Hohenzollern realm. The Brandenburg Navy was consequently merged into the Prussian Navy that year.

The Hohenzollern Chinese Navy? Part One | Center for International Maritime Security (cimsec.org)

The Chinese and Hohenzollern navies have many commonalities in origin, training and choice of force structure. Their strategy, operational art and tactics are also remarkably similar to Kaiser Wilhelm’s fleet of the late 19th and early 20th century. The Chinese Navy may have also replicated the fatal flaw that left the High Seas Fleet incapable of achieving the victory it came so close to achieving in late 1917. Like the German imperial elite of the late 19th century, the Chinese Communist Party is now also seeking “a place in the sun” through President Hu Jinatao’s “new historic missions” assignment of 2004. China may too think that “its future is on the water” as did the Kaiser’s navy over a century ago. Such visions, however, for a fleet that has not seen battle against a peer opponent since 1894, can be dangerous. Georg Friedrich, Prince of Prussia – Wikipedia

The Lost Treasure of Goddess Island

Posted on January 8, 2020 by Royal Rosamond Press

At 2:01 P.M. I discovered Lord Hesketh named his yacht after the Lancanshire Witches who were put on trial around the time my ancestor, Reverend John Wilson, and fellow Puritans were conducting Witch Trials. Lord Hesketh sailed his yatcht into the Golden Gate in order to marry Florence Emily Sharon, the daughter of William Sharon, who became the President of Bank of America, after William Ralston ‘The Man Who Built San Francisco’ died. I believe Ralston Hall is one of the six portable houses brought from the East Coast by my great grandfather, Carl Janke the co-founder of Belmont.

Today I discovered that I am kin to Albert Sydney Johnston who married Henriette Preston. Albert was the commander of Fort Point. He is kin to the Benton family, and John Fremont. The Prestons are kin to the Stewarts. I am poised to author a Harry Potter series – in the West!

For many years I have considered a large statue that Rena Easton is the model for. I have been authoring a proposal to Meg Whitman that will include her funding this large statue that I want erected on Treasure Island that I see as World Literary Center, more so than for the Arts. Fort Mason is dedicated to the Arts. My claim on the property the Fremont family once owned, is solid. I am the caretaker of so my Creative History.

CNN is doing a series on the Windsors. I have rescued our connection to British gentry. Sophie Hesketh was considered a suitable mate for Harry Windsor. Rena has to be contacted to see if there exist nude photos of her. If she is dead, her skeleton must be exhumed and measured. She has perfect proportions. How can she complain, or, accuse me of stalking, when her form and image will welcome millions into the Golden Gate. She will be the Western Colossus. Consider Pacifica and Britania!

It’s time modern man be exposed to full frontal nudity, and all aspects of Womankind, who has been stalked and tried as a Witch for a thousand years! Here is a chance for Humanity to turn those dark images around, and honor all women, There exist a proposal to rebuild Pacifica, but, she is rendered all things to men – and women! In this form, she is harmless. Rena was threatening and scary in ways that have been lost. Powerful Women are scary to both sexes. Christian women wanted this kind of woman – burned! This sick movement to make all women – not culpable – is destroying civilization. What are women guilty of?

Today, millions of Christian women prepare to vote for Trump, again, even though they know he is a egregious lair guilty of abusing women. He slanders a woman every week. He is a Great Sinner who is not held culpable for his sins. I suspect the Christians oppose Goddess Worship and perceive Trump is destroying the recent resurrection of this worship that Hillary Clinton would have promoted – if she got elected the First Woman President!

I would like to see a replica of the Lancashire Witch made and docked at Treasure Island. It is my desire to marry Rena Easton some day and spend our honeymoon onboard. Rena is my inspiration for Victoria Bond.

EXTRA! At 3:45 I quit posting for the day and turned on T.V. to hear Harry and Meghan Windsor are stepping out of their paid rolls. This is huge! I said I wanted them to head the New Puritan Church! Johnston quit his post to join the Confederacy that was very serious about not allowing Black Slaves to be free to earn a living. Many White women oppressed Black Women. This couple is in a position to lead a progressive movement not seen since Lincoln free the slaves and Radical Republican went into the South and put Black Men in office. Southern women oppose the taking down statue of Confederate soldiers. I am kin to Robert E. Lee!

I just saw Senator Merkley on T.V. He and others out outraged with the interview with brass for why they killed the Iranian General. They are suspecting the Trumpire did this to distract from the Impeachment. But, it really inflames the idea Trump and Putin are on the same team, and so is Iran. There could be FAKERY here that is targeting the Democrats!

I am going to ask that the British Defence Staff protect Harry and Meghan whose son has Romanov blood that Putin is after! Why not the Templars? Why not build a home for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on Treasure Island, or the property owned by the Fremonts. This Windsor couple could carry on the Salon that was held at Black Point.

Earlier private ownership by John C. Frémont[edit]

The nucleus of Fort Mason was a private property owned by John C. Frémont, the explorer of the western U.S., who also spearheaded the conquest of California from Mexico, and ran as the first presidential nominee of the extant Republican Party in 1856. As alleged in a 1968 federal lawsuit^[6] filed by his descendants over the 70-acre parcel then at issue, Frémont bought a 13.5-acre property in the mid-1850s for $42,000, and then improved it by about $40,000.

Appointed a major general in the Union army at the start of the Civil War, Frémont’s repeated serious conflicts with President Lincoln led him to resign by late 1862. In 1863, the government seized the property without payment, by executive order of Lincoln, on the grounds it was needed for the war effort. Frémont would again contest the US presidency in 1864, running as the candidate of Radical Democracy Party, only resigning the effort when Lincoln fired a political enemy in his cabinet as a concession.

The 1868 lawsuit was perhaps the last shot of a century-long legal struggle^[7] to obtain compensation for the seized realty. In 1870, the government returned property to 49 parties in the vicinity, but not to Frémont and a few others. At that time, Frémont was still very preoccupied with enough of the vast fortune he had made through gold-mining before the Civil War that the matter was unlikely of concern to him; but by 1872^[8] he was in grave financial trouble he would never escape before his death in 1890. Over the years, at least 24 Congressional committees would vote to compensate Frémont, and finally in February 1898 President William McKinley signed a bill directing that the court of claims fix the compensation due. But in 1968 the Frémont heirs complained it had failed to carry out this direction, with John Frémont then recently dead and his widow Jessie over 70 years old.

The fort as government property[edit]

The Civil War prompted the construction of several coastal defense batteries located inside the Golden Gate. Initially these defenses were built as temporary wartime structures rather than permanent fortifications and one of these was constructed in 1864 at Point San Jose, as the location of Upper Fort Mason was then known. A breast-high wall of brick and mounts for six 10-inch (250 mm) Rodman cannons and six 42-pounder guns were built on the site. Excavation in the early 1980s uncovered the well-preserved remains of the western-half of the temporary battery, and it has now been restored to its condition during the Civil War.^[9]

The fort was named Fort Mason in 1882, after Richard Barnes Mason, a former military governor of California.^[10]

They enter a mysterious mansion, and becoming trapped in a chamber and locked into enchanted or mechanically-contrived chairs three of them are muffled by bell-masks which descend from the ceiling, and then plunged through traps in the floor. Flapdragon appears and attempts to help them find Ebba, while Paston, Ginger and Thorneycroft find Rougemont and confront him with pistols, but Rougemont is impervious to the bullets. Thorneycroft, Tinker and Sandman are trapped in a pit over which an iron roof closes by a giant mechanical contrivance, and Ebba is never found again. Auriol, meanwhile, awakes to find himself in Elizabethan costume, chained in a vaulted dungeon. The voice of Rougemont addresses him, telling him that he has been mad, but that he has given him a potion to heal him, and is his keeper. James I is now the King of England. Old Dr Lamb is still living, and his dwarf Flapdragon, and Auriol is taken to him, where they begin to hope that Auriol’s cure has been effected.

John Witherspoon Owen Breckenridge

Posted on July 5, 2011by Royal Rosamond Press

The great grandmother of John Witherspoon Owen Breckenridge, is the Ann Witherspoon, the daughter of Signer, John Witherspoon. His great grandfather, was John Breckenridge, Attorney General of the United States in the Cabinet of President Thomas Jefferson. I lived with Dottie Witherspoon in Boston, and met many Witherspoons in South Carolina who are kin to the actress, Reese Witherspoon.I have been exchanging e-mails with a member of the Sharon family about revising the Sharon Family reunion at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. I was invited to go to Europe with a member of the Hesketh-Fermor family, who are kin to my niece, Drew Benton, and thus the Prescos. We are all kin to Lloyd Tevis the President of Welles Fargo Bank.

I have put on pause my homework of family relations. I do know some of the California Sharons and I am familiar with the reunion that use to take place in San Francisco, but I have been swamped. I would love to refresh the reunion for our family. I am not familiar with the names on your email yet. I don’t know if you sent email to Philip or had misplaced my name. I will start more family connections with the Sharon clan soon.

Witherspoon Owen Breckenridge married Louise Tevis Breckenridge Sharon, the daughter of Lloyd Tevis, president of Wells Fargo and one of the richest men in California. When he became president of Wells Fargo, it was an express coach company. When he retired, it was a bank as we know it today. Tevis was assessed by the state of California as having a fortune worth $1,590,000.00 in 1880
John Witherspoon Breckenridge, son of Congressman, Senator, Vice President, Presidential Candidate and Confederate General John C. Breckenridge, c. 1878 and lived in San Rafael, CA. Their marriage ended in divorce and she married secondly Frederick W. Sharon.

Frederick Sharon was the son of Senator William Sharon (right), one of California’s very richest men. Sharon arrived in San Francisco in 1849, first investing in real estate, then also in mining and banking. By 1880, the state of California assessed his personal fortune at $4,470,000.002 and he was the largest single taxpayer in the state. Louise and Frederick were married at Sharon’s 55,360 square foot palatial estate ‘Belmont’ in 1884 (below).

The information found here comes from The Prestons of Smithfield and Greenfield in Virginia by John Frederick Dorman who is one of the preeminent authorities of Virginia genealogy. The descendants of John Preston and Elizabeth Patton are remarkable for the number of outstanding individuals spread over several generations. There are literally dozens of politicians, military men (including generals on both sides of the Civil War), preachers, doctors and authors. This is only a sampling of people who caught my attention. I strongly recommend anyone interested in this family to find The Prestons of Smithfield and Greenfield in Virginia.

Henry Clay (1777-1852)was an American statesman known as “The Great Compromiser.” Clay was a congressman, senator, speaker of the house, and secretary of state. He was a major promoter of the Missouri Compromise in 1820, the compromise tariff of 1833 that ended the Nullification crisis, and the Compromise of 1850, all efforts to balance the rights of free and slave states. He was twice the unsuccessful Whig candidate for president. His wife, Lucretia Hart Clay, was the daughter of Colonel Thomas Hart. They had eleven children — six daughters and five sons.

Lucretia Hart Clay was a daughter of Col. Thomas Hart and Susanna Gray. The Hart family was established in Hanover County, Virginia, in 1690. The only son of a pioneer was Thomas Hart, who married Susanna Rice, and their oldest son was Col. Thomas Hart, who was born in 1730 and accompanied his mother and the other children to North Carolina in 1760. He became prominent in the Colonial and Revolutionary history of North Carolina, being a member of the Provincial Congress at New Bern of August 25, 1774, also attended the Convention of April 4, 1775, and was a delegate to the Assembly at Hillsboro August 21, 1775. He was an officer in the Revolutionary army, and was a member of the famous Transylvania Company. His brother, Captain Nathaniel Hart, was killed by the Indians near Boonesboro, Kentucky in 1782, and it was Susanna, daughter of Capt. Nathaniel, who married Col. Isaac Shelby, first governor of Kentucky. Col. Thomas Hart reared in his home his orphan niece, Ann, who became the wife of Jesse Benton, and her oldest son was the famous Thomas Hart Benton, the distinguished United States senator from Missouri.

Louise (Tevis) Breckinridge married (2nd) Frederick William Sharon (son of Senator William Sharon) d.1882 & Maria Malloy.

The life story of Louise Tevis Breckinridge Sharon gives insite into the impact of California gold on global banking and who directed it.

Francis G. Newlands (1848-1917) was a young San Francisco lawyer. Early in his practice he had become an attorney for William Sharon, a senator from Nevada from 1875 to 1882, who made a tremendous fortune revitalizing and managing the rich Nevada Comstock Lode. In 1874 Newlands married Sharon’s daughter. Following her death, in 1882, and William Sharon’s death, in 1885, Newlands became trustee of Sharon’s huge estate, was himself one of the heirs, and managed major land holdings in California and Nevada.18481917, American legislator, b. Natchez, Miss. After practicing law in San Francisco from 1870, he moved (1888) to Nevada. He became well known for his interest in irrigation and reclamation and for his advocacy of free silver. He was (18931903) U.S. Congressman from Nevada and served (190317) as a Democrat in the U.S. Senate. He wrote the Newlands Act of 1913, concerning mediation and conciliation in labor controversies, and the Reclamation Act of 1902. He played a!
n important role in the establishment of the Federal Trade Commission (1914) and in preparing the way for the Transportation Act of 1920

It looks like Louise Tevis Breckinridge Sharon, was the grand dowager with
control of the purse strings of her mother Susan’s half of the Tevis Estate
and whatever control came to her from her second husbands portion of the
Sharon estate. (California and Nevada community property laws). She would
also have had a great influence on her sister in-law Flora Sharon
Fermor-Hesketh and guided the Fermor-Hesketh marriage of her own daughter
Flora Breckinridge.
Her son John Caball Breckinridge seems to have been part of Victorian
England without a fortune of his own and he didn’t marry one. He and his
marriage were kept in the shadows. I would suspect he had a rough time of it.
The life story of Louise Tevis Breckinridge would give a unique in site
into the impact of California gold on global banking and who directed it.
Well you know all of this already.I will let you know if I come across any

Awakening America’s Royal Muse

Thanks to my new computer, alas I was able to open the New York Times archive on the wedding of Flora Sharon to Lord Hesketh. Here is Sleeping Beauty’s castle. Those who decorated Ralston Hall, used the name ‘Flora’ as their theme. There were flowers galore. Briar Rose and Princess Rosamond were raised from the dead. Here is America’s Royal Muse being wed to an English Lord whose great granddaughters have kissed Prince Harry, and have been considered royal mates for the Windsors. But, what is truly amazing, Flora Sharon’s Bridesmaid was Bessie Sedgwick, the kindred of Andy Warhol’s Muse, Edith Sedgwick.

https://www.nytimes.com/svc/oembed/html/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F1881%2F01%2F02%2Farchives%2Fa-regal-wedding-feast-marriage-of-miss-sharon-and-sir-thomas.html#?secret=5VMYlqTdz6

Also present was General Irvine McDowell a close kindred of Jessie and Susan Benton who held Salons on Paris and San Francisco. There is little doubt that my kindred, the Jankes and Stuttneisters, attended this wedding that brought a thousand guests on a special train that also brought folks to Belmont Park where they danced around a great redwood. My great grandparents were married at Ralston Hall that was a portable house the video below says Count Cipriani shipped from Italy, but I believe it was one of the six Janke houses that were shipped around the Cape in 1848. The video talks about how it was added to.

My book has become as big as Gone With the Wind! Warhol did prints of my kindred, Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor – that have sold for hundreds of million of dollars. Edith was a member of the Bohemian Harvard crowd. My ex-wife was a member of the Bohemian Cornell scene. The Hesketh sisters are Boho fashion models that sell cloths to the royalty of Europe. Add to this the Benton Artist, and it all comes together at ‘Beautiful Mountain’.

The Sedgwick Family is one of America’s most patriotic and prestigious families who got close to America’s wealthiest family who lived in Oakland and Piedmont. Together with the Preston-Hart-Clay family, this is the gene pool that made America great. We are worthy of our own Jubilee. It’s time for new beginnings.

I have communicated with two members of the Sharon-Hesketh family about restarting the family reunions held at the Palace Hotel that William Ralston ‘The Man Who Built San Francisco’ inagurated.

It is time to enjoin my family history to one of the most cultured histories – in the world! I have made my way through the thorns. Now, with a kiss, I awaken all the sleeping beauty.

Let it be known that the God I know, meant for us to own a earthly kingdom, as well as a eternal one. I have seen both. I am forever amazed!

1888: From the Daily Alta, an article on the marriage of Dr. William O.
Stuttmeister and Augusta D. Janke.
Daily Alta California, Volume 42, Number 14175, 24 June 1888
STUTTMEISTER-JANKE.
One of the most enjoyable weddings of the past week took place at
Belmont, Wednesday morning last, the contracting parties being Miss
Augusta Janke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Janke of Belmont,
and Dr. Wm. Stuttmeister of San Francisco. The house was
handsomely decorated with a rich profusion of ferns and flowers, and
at the appointed hour was filled with the relatives and intimate friends
of the contracting parties. At 11 o’clock the wedding march was played
and the bridal party entered the parlor. The bride was attended by Miss
Alice Stuttmeister, a sister of the groom, and Miss Minnie Janke, a
sister of the bride, as bridesmaids, and Dr. Muldownado and Wm.
Janke, a cousin of the bride, were groomsmen. The Rev. A. L. Brewer
of San Mateo performed the beautiful and impressive ceremony under
an arch composed of flowers and greens very prettily arranged, after
which the guests pressed forward and offered their congratulations.
The bride was attired in a very pretty and becoming costume of the
crushed strawberry shade, and wore a corsage bouquet of orange
blossoms. She carried a handsome bouquet of white flowers. After the
guests had paid their compliments the bride and groom led the way to
the dining-room, where the wedding dinner was served and the health
of the newly married pair was pledged. The feast over, the guests
joined in the dance, and the hours sped right merrily, interspersed with
music singing and recitations, until the bride and groom took their
departure amid a shower of rice and good wishes. Many beautiful
presents were received. Dr. and Mrs. Stuttmeister left Thursday
morning for Santa Cruz and Monterey, where they will spend the
honeymoon. On their return they will make their home in Belmont.

Flora Sharon Sedgwick (b. November 03, 1879, d. November 05, 1945)
Flora Sharon Sedgwick (daughter of John Sedgwick and Malvina Davis) was born November 03, 1879 in San Francisco, CA, and died November 05, 1945 in San Francisco, CA.

Edith Minturn “Edie” Sedgwick (April 20, 1943 – November 16, 1971) was an American actress, socialite, fashion model and heiress. She is best known for being one of Andy Warhol’s superstars. Sedgwick became known as “The Girl of the Year” in 1965 after starring in several of Warhol’s short films in the 1960s.[1][2] She was dubbed an “It Girl”,[3] while Vogue magazine also named her a “Youthquaker”.[4]

[edit] Family background and early lifeEdie Sedgwick was born in Santa Barbara, California, to Alice Delano de Forest (1908–1988) and Francis Minturn Sedgwick, (1904–1967, known as either “Duke” or “Fuzzy”), a philanthropist, rancher and sculptor.[5] She was named after her father’s aunt, Edith Minturn, famously painted with her husband, Isaac Newton Phelps-Stokes, by John Singer Sargent.

Sedgwick’s family was long established in Massachusetts history. Her seventh-great grandfather, English-born Robert Sedgwick,[6] was the first Major General of the Massachusetts Bay Colony settling in Charlestown, Massachusetts in 1635.[7] Edie’s family later originated from Stockbridge, Massachusetts where her great-great-great grandfather Judge Theodore Sedgwick had settled after the American Revolution. Theodore married Pamela Dwight of the New England Dwight family[8] who was the daughter of Abigail (Williams) Dwight, which means that Ephraim Williams, the founder of Williams College, was her fifth-great grandfather.[9] Theodore Sedgwick was the first to plead and win a case for the freedom of a black woman, Elizabeth Freeman, under the Massachusetts Bill of Rights that declared all men to be born free and equal.[10] Sedgwick’s mother was the daughter of Henry Wheeler de Forest (President and Chairman of the Board of the Southern Pacific Railroad and a direct descendant of Jessé de Forest whose Dutch West India Company helped to settle New Amsterdam).[11] Jessé de Forest was also Edie’s seventh-great grandfather.[12] Her paternal grandfather was the historian and acclaimed author Henry Dwight Sedgwick III; her great grandmother, Susanna Shaw, was the sister of Robert Gould Shaw, the American Civil War Colonel; and her great-great grandfather, Robert Bowne Minturn, was a part owner of the Flying Cloud clipper ship and is credited with creating and promoting Central Park in New York City.[13] And her great-great-great grandfather, William Ellery, was a signatory of the United States Declaration of Independence.[10]

She was the first cousin, once removed, of actress Kyra Sedgwick. Kyra is the daughter of Henry Dwight Sedgwick V (Edie’s first cousin), the son of Robert Minturn Sedgwick, who was the older brother of Francis Minturn Sedgwick.

Despite her family’s wealth and high social status, Edie’s early life was troubled. All the Sedgwick children had deeply conflicted relationships with their father Fuzzy—they adored him, but by most accounts he was narcissistic, emotionally remote, controlling and frequently abusive. Her eldest sister Alice (“Saucie”) eventually broke with the family and her two older brothers died prematurely. Francis (known as “Minty”), who had a particularly unhappy relationship with Fuzzy, suffered several breakdowns, eventually committing suicide in 1964 while in a psychiatric hospital. Her oldest brother Robert (“Bobby”), who also suffered from mental health problems, died in a motorcycle accident in 1965. Edie had a very difficult relationship with her father, who openly carried on affairs with other women. On one occasion she walked in on him while he was having sex with one of his paramours. She flew into a rage, but Fuzzy claimed that Edie imagined the whole event. As a result of her emotional problems, Edie developed anorexia by her early teens and settled into a lifelong pattern of binging and purging.

The Sedgwick children were raised on their family’s California ranches. Initially schooled at home and cared for by nannies, their lives were rigidly controlled by their parents; they were largely isolated from the outside world and it was instilled into them that they were superior to most of their peers. At age 13, (the year her grandfather Babbo died) Edie began boarding at the Branson School near San Francisco, but, according to Saucie, she was soon taken out of the school because of her anorexia. In 1958, she was enrolled at St. Timothy’s School in Maryland. She was eventually taken out of the school due to her anorexia.

In the fall of 1962, at Fuzzy’s insistence, Sedgwick was committed to the Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, Connecticut. According to fellow patient Virginia Davis, the regime was very lax there, and Edie and her friends often left the hospital after lunch and went into town on shopping sprees, charging up thousands of dollars worth of goods on credit at local stores. Edie easily manipulated the situation at Silver Hill, but her weight kept dropping to just ninety pounds. Consequently, her family had her transferred to a “closed” facility at Bloomingdale, the Westchester County, New York division of the New York Hospital. There, thanks to the strict treatment program, Edie’s condition improved markedly. Around the time she left the hospital she had a brief relationship with a Harvard student, became pregnant and procured an abortion with her mother’s help.

In the fall of 1963, Sedgwick moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts and began studying art with her cousin Lily Saarinen.[14] During this period she partied with members of the bohemian fringe of the Harvard social scene, which included many gay men.

Sedgwick was deeply affected by the loss of her brothers, who died within 18 months of each other. Francis (nicknamed “Minty”) also had a troubled life; he became an alcoholic in his early teens, triggering a downward spiral of drug and alcohol abuse, and in late 1963 he suffered a serious breakdown and was admitted to Bellevue Hospital before being transferred to Silver Hill. According to her friend Ed Hennessy, Sedgwick told him that Minty had finally admitted to his father that he was homosexual, and that this had enraged Fuzzy, who said that he would never speak to him again. Shortly after this, in May 1963, on the day before his twenty-sixth birthday, Minty hanged himself with a tie from the door of his bathroom at Silver Hill.

By the time of Minty’s death, Sedgwick had moved to New York City. She lived at first with her senile grandmother, who had an apartment on 75th Street, but in late fall 1964 she took an apartment in the East Sixties between Fifth and Madison, which her mother decorated lavishly. Edie embarked on a constant round of partying and spent her trust fund at an astonishing rate; according to friend Tom Goodwin she went through eighty thousand dollars in just six months and bought huge amounts of clothing, jewellery and cosmetics. After her ‘chauffeur’ crashed the gray Mercedes she had been given by her father, she began using limousine services constantly, moving from company to company each time she had exhausted her credit. She also began experimenting with drugs and was reportedly introduced to LSD by friends from Cambridge who knew Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert.

Sedgwick’s eldest brother Bobby was also experiencing serious mental health problems, and in late 1963, a few months before Minty’s breakdown, Bobby too suffered a breakdown and his sister Saucie had to have him admitted to Bellevue. He became increasingly self-destructive, crashing a sports car and habitually riding his powerful Harley Davidson motorcycle without a helmet. Bobby was asked not to attend the Sedgwick Christmas gathering in California (according to Saucie, his father told Bobby he was a “bad influence” on the other children) and on December 31, 1964 Bobby suffered critical head injuries when his bike slammed into the side of a bus on Eighth Avenue in New York City; he never regained consciousness and died in hospital twelve days later, aged 31. Edie told her friend Gillian Walker that she knew that Bobby was going to die and that he had killed himself. In Walker’s view, Sedgwick dealt with these tragedies by suppressing her feelings and throwing herself back into the New York party world.

Shortly after Bobby’s death, Sedgwick was herself injured in a car accident in California, in which she suffered a broken knee. She was afraid that her father might use this as a reason to have her sent back into psychiatric care, so with her mother’s help she surreptitiously left California and returned to New York.

[edit] The Factory daysIn March 1965, Sedgwick met artist and avant-garde filmmaker Andy Warhol at Lester Persky’s apartment. She began going to The Factory regularly in March 1965 with her friend, Chuck Wein. During one of those visits, Warhol was filming Vinyl, his interpretation of the novel A Clockwork Orange. Despite Vinyl’s all-male cast, Warhol put Sedgwick in the movie. She also made a small cameo appearance in another Warhol film, Horse, when she entered towards the end of the film. Although Sedgwick’s appearances in both films were brief, they generated so much interest that Warhol decided to create a vehicle in which she could star.

The first of those films, Poor Little Rich Girl, was originally conceived as part of a series featuring Sedgwick, called The Poor Little Rich Girl Saga. The series was to include Poor Little Rich Girl, Restaurant, Face and Afternoon. Filming of Poor Little Rich Girl started in March 1965 in Sedgwick’s apartment. The first reel shows Sedgwick waking up, ordering coffee and orange juice, and putting on her makeup in silence with only an Everly Brothers record playing. Due to a problem with the camera lens, the footage on the first reel is completely out of focus. The second reel consists of Sedgwick smoking cigarettes, talking on the telephone, trying on clothes, and describing how she had spent her entire inheritance in six months.

On April 30, 1965, Warhol took Sedgwick, Chuck Wein and Gerard Malanga to the opening of his exhibition at the Sonnabend Gallery in Paris. On returning to New York City, Warhol asked his scriptwriter, Ronald Tavel, to write a script for Sedgwick, “something in a kitchen – something white, and clean, and plastic”, Warhol is to have said, according to Ric Burns’ Andy Warhol: A Documentary Film. The result was Kitchen, starring Sedgwick, Rene Ricard, Roger Trudeau, Donald Lyons and Elecktrah. After Kitchen, Chuck Wein replaced Ron Tavel as writer and assistant director for the filming of Beauty No. 2, in which Sedgwick appeared with Gino Piserchio. Beauty No. 2 premiered at the Film-Makers’ Cinematheque at the Astor Place Playhouse on July 17.

Warhol’s films were not commercially successful and rarely seen outside The Factory circle, but as Sedgwick’s notoriety grew, mainstream media outlets began reporting on her appearances in Warhol’s underground films and her unusual fashion sense. During this period, she developed her “trademark” look – black leotards, mini dresses, and large chandelier earrings. Sedgwick also cut her hair short and colored her naturally brown hair with silver spray, creating a similar look to the wigs Warhol wore. Warhol christened her his “Superstar” and both were photographed together at various social outings.

Throughout 1965, Sedgwick and Warhol continued making films together – Outer and Inner Space, Prison, Lupe and Chelsea Girls. However, by late 1965, Sedgwick and Warhol’s relationship had deteriorated and Sedgwick requested that Warhol no longer show any of her films. She asked that the footage she filmed for Chelsea Girls be removed and it was replaced with footage of Nico, with colored lights projected on her face and The Velvet Underground music playing in the background. The edited footage of Sedgwick in Chelsea Girls would eventually become the film Afternoon.

Lupe is often thought to be Sedgwick’s last Warhol film, but Sedgwick filmed The Andy Warhol Story with Rene Ricard in 1966, almost a year after she filmed Lupe. The Andy Warhol Story was an unreleased film that was only screened once at The Factory. The film featured Sedgwick, along with Rene Ricard, satirically pretending to be Andy Warhol. It is thought to be either lost or destroyed.[citation needed]

[edit] Bob Dylan and Bob NeuwirthFollowing her estrangement from Warhol’s inner circle, Sedgwick began living at the Chelsea Hotel, where she became close to Bob Dylan. Dylan’s friends eventually convinced Sedgwick to sign up with Albert Grossman, Dylan’s manager. Sedgwick and Dylan’s relationship ended when Sedgwick learned Dylan had married Sara Lownds in a secret ceremony – something she apparently learned from Warhol during an argument at the Gingerman Restaurant in February 1966.

According to Paul Morrissey, Sedgwick had said: “‘They’re [Dylan’s people] going to make a film and I’m supposed to star in it with Bobby [Dylan].’ Suddenly it was Bobby this and Bobby that, and they realized that she had a crush on him. They thought he’d been leading her on, because just that day Andy had heard in his lawyer’s office that Dylan had been secretly married for a few months – he married Sara Lownds in November 1965… Andy couldn’t resist asking, ‘Did you know, Edie, that Bob Dylan has gotten married?’ She was trembling. They realized that she really thought of herself as entering a relationship with Dylan, that maybe he hadn’t been truthful.”[15]

Several weeks before the December 29, 2006, one-week release of the controversial film Factory Girl (described by a review in The Village Voice as Edie for Dummies[16]), the Weinstein Company and the film’s producers interviewed Sedgwick’s older brother, Jonathan, who asserted that she “had an abortion of the child she was (supposedly) carrying by Dylan”.[17] Jonathan Sedgwick, a retired airplane designer, was flown in from Idaho to New York City by the distributor to meet Sienna Miller, who was playing his late sister, as well as to give an eight-hour video interview with details about the purported liaison between Edie and Dylan, which the distributor promptly released to the news media. Jonathan claims an abortion took place soon after “Edie was badly hurt in a motorcycle crash and sent to an emergency unit. As a result of the accident, doctors consigned her to a mental hospital where she was treated for drug addiction.” No hospital records or Sedgwick family records exist to support this story. Nonetheless, Edie’s brother also claimed “Staff found she was pregnant but, fearing the baby had been damaged by her drug use and anorexia, forced her to have the abortion.”[18][19] However, according to Edie Sedgwick’s personal medical records and oral life-history tape recorded less than a year before her death for her final film, Ciao! Manhattan, there is credible evidence that the only abortion she underwent in her lifetime was at age 20 in 1963.

Throughout most of 1966, Sedgwick was involved in an intensely private yet tumultuous relationship with Dylan’s closest friend, Bob Neuwirth. During this period, she became increasingly dependent on barbiturates. Although she abused many drugs, there is no evidence that Sedgwick ever became a heroin addict. In early 1967, unable to cope with Sedgwick’s drug abuse and erratic behavior, Neuwirth broke off their relationship.

[edit] Later yearsSedgwick auditioned for Norman Mailer’s play The Deer Park, but Mailer thought she “wasn’t very good… She used so much of herself with every line that we knew she’d be immolated after three performances.”[20]

In April 1967, Sedgwick began shooting Ciao! Manhattan, an underground movie. After initial footage was shot in New York, co-directors John Palmer and David Weisman continued working on the film over the course of the next five years. Sedgwick’s rapidly deteriorating health saw her return to her family in California, spending time in several different psychiatric institutions. In August 1969, she was hospitalized in the psychiatric ward of Cottage Hospital after being arrested for drug offenses by the local police. While in the hospital, Sedgwick met another patient, Michael Brett Post, whom she would later marry. Sedgwick was in the hospital again in the summer of 1970, but was let out under the supervision of a psychiatrist, two nurses, and the live-in care of filmmaker John Palmer and his wife Janet. Staunchly determined to finish Ciao! Manhattan and have her story told, Sedgwick recorded audio-tapes reflecting upon her life story, which enabled Weisman and Palmer to incorporate her accounts into the film’s dramatic arc.

[edit] Last years and deathSedgwick married Michael Post on July 24, 1971, and under his influence she reportedly stopped abusing alcohol and other drugs for a short time. Her sobriety lasted until October, when pain medication was given to her to treat a physical illness. She remained under the care of her physician Dr. Wells, who prescribed her barbiturates, but she would demand more pills or claim that she had lost them in order to get more, and often combined the medications with alcohol. Post was later put in charge of administering her medication; by his account, she took at least two 300 mg Quaalude tablets and two capsules of three-grain Tuinal every night, in addition to alcohol and whatever other drugs she may have been secretly consuming.

On the night of November 15, 1971, Sedgwick went to a fashion show at the Santa Barbara Museum, a segment of which was filmed for the television show An American Family.[21] After the fashion show, she attended a party where (according to the accounts of her husband and brother-in-law) a drunken guest insulted her by calling her a heroin addict and repeatedly asserting that her marriage would fail. Sedgwick phoned Post, who arrived at the party and, seeing her distress at the accusations, took her back to their apartment around one in the morning. On the way home, Sedgwick expressed thoughts of uncertainty about their marriage.[22] Before they both fell asleep, Post gave Sedgwick the medication that had been prescribed for her. According to Post, Sedgwick started to fall asleep very quickly, and her breathing was, “bad – it sounded like there was a big hole in her lungs”, but he attributed that to her heavy smoking habit and went to sleep.[23]

When Post awoke the following morning at 7.30 am, Sedgwick was dead. The coroner ruled Sedgwick’s death as “undetermined/accident/suicide”. The death certificate was signed at 9:20 am and states the immediate cause was “probable acute barbiturate intoxication” due to ethanol intoxication. Sedgwick’s alcohol level was registered at 0.17% and her barbiturate level was 0.48 mg%. She was 28.[24] Allegedly when learning of Sedgwick’s death, film director Paul Morrissey responded with “Edie who?”[25]

Sedgwick was buried in the small Oak Hill Cemetery in Ballard, California. Her epitaph reads “Edith Sedgwick Post – Wife Of Michael Brett Post 1943–1971”.[26] Her mother Alice was buried next to her in 1988.

Flora Sedgwick
by Adele Cole
Many of us are blessed by special friends in our lives, persons who have led and inspired us. Flora Sedgwick comes readily to mind. My husband John and I met her in 1989 when she and Grant moved to Covenant Manor (now Covenant Village). From the start we shared a love of literature, laughter, and faith.
Flora taught at Minnehaha Academy in the 1960s, and had become more than a teacher in the lives of many of her students, forming bonds that lasted the rest of her life. Many of them attended the Memorial Service held in her honor this January, and it was very meaningful for me as they recounted fond memories of Flora’s impact on their lives. Several recalled the inspiration that seemed to be woven into her teaching, and without exception they remembered her love of Guy Fawkes Day, a festival celebrated with good humor as an appendage to the established curriculum.
In its Spring 2006 issue, The Arrow, published by Minnehaha Academy, contains a tribute to Flora, which appropriately closes with these lines: “All who knew her remember her as a faithful friend, a woman with a steady glisten of humor in her eye, a dedicated teacher, a loving mother and wife, and a good Christian who knew what it meant to be a steward who took care of the gifts and opportunities she had in her life.”
John and I cherished our friendship with Flora and Grant, and we especially remember having “walked through the valley” with them when their precious daughter Priscilla died. Then in 2001 Flora walked alone with us, following the death of Grant. She was resilient, and bore her grief while trusting in God’s love, and yet was not afraid to repeat with feeling “Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief.”
Always the teacher, Flora helped start two book groups. One consisted of five couples who read poetry and short stories chosen by Flora for our study together. The second group was (and is) a melding of nine women from various careers who have met for 17 years. The 14 books Flora chose for our study were challenging, as was she. Examples include Pride and Prejudice, Crime and Punishment, Madame Bovary, and others in a list that has since grown to more than 140 books. Not too bad for an octogenarian group and, in a real way, it is a tribute to the “founder!”
Flora loved poetry, and one of her favorites was read beautifully by her daughter Sara during the Memorial Service. It is entitled “God’s Grandeur” by Gerard Manley Hopkins, and reads in part: “The world is charged with the grandeur of God… because the Holy Ghost over the bent world broods with warm breast and with…Ah! bright wings.” The voice was Sara’s, but the flawless delivery personified Flora. We thank God for sending us those “bright wings.”

[edit] Early life and education
His father was Benjaman Sedgwick (1716-1755). His paternal immigrant ancestor Major General Robert Sedgwick arrived in 1636 in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, as part of the Great Migration.[1]
The younger Sedgwick attended Yale College, where he studied theology and law. He did not graduate, but went on to study law (“read law”) under the attorney Mark Hopkins of Great Barrington. (He was the grandfather of the Mark Hopkins who later became president of Williams College.)
[edit] Early career
Sedgwick was admitted to the bar in 1766 and commenced practice in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. He moved to Sheffield. During the American Revolutionary War, he served in the Continental Army as a major, and took part in the expedition to Canada and the Battle of White Plains in 1776.[2]
[edit] Marriage and family
After his first wife died, Sedgwick married a second time on April 17, 1774 to Pamela Dwight of the New England Dwight family. She was born June 9, 1752 and died September 20, 1807, and was the daughter of Brigadier General Joseph Dwight of Great Barrington and his second wife, the widow Abigail Williams Sargent. Abigail was the daughter of Colonel Ephraim Williams, and half-sister of Ephraim Williams, Jr. the founder of Williams College.[1]
The Sedgwicks had ten children, although three died within a year of birth, reflecting the high infant mortality of the time. They were:[1]
1. Elizabeth Mason Sedgwick, born April 30, 1775, married Thaddeus Pomeroy, and died October 15, 1827.
2. A child died at birth March 27, 1777.
3. Frances Pamela Sedgwick, born May 6, 1778, married Ebenezer Watson and died June 20, 1842.
4. Theodore Sedgwick II, born December 9, 1780, became a lawyer, and died 1839. He married Susan Anne Livingson (1788–1867). Their son Theodore Sedgwick (1811–1859) was a lawyer and author.
5. Catherine Sedgwick, born July 11, 1782 and died March 4, 1783.
6. Henry Dwight Sedgwick, born April 18, 1784 and died March 1, 1785.
7. Henry Dwight Sedgwick, born September 22, 1785, married Jane Minot (1795–1859) and died December 23, 1831. Their grandson was also a lawyer, Henry Dwight Sedgwick III (1861–1957).
8. Catharine Maria Sedgwick, born December 28, 1789, became one of the first noted female writers in the United States,[3] and died July 31, 1867.
9. Charles Sedgwick, born December 15, 1791, became clerk of Massachucetts Supreme Court, married Elizabeth Buckminster Dwight (1801–1864), and died August 3, 1856. Their grandson was the anatomist Charles Sedgwick Minot (1852–1914).

This coat-of-arms is one commonly used by Sedgwicks. One Sedgwick who apparently used it was William Sedgwicke, father of General Robert Sedgwick who emmigrated to Charlestown, Massachusetts about 1635.
The shield is “Or, on a cross gu. five bells of the field.” The crest is “A Lion Passant through sedge on cap of maintenance.”
The lion is red, the sedge green, the crown of the cap is red and the ermine trim white. The shield is gold with a red cross. The five bells are gold.
The motto is “Confido in Domino” which is Latin and means “Trust in God.”

This variation of the above coat (or is the above a variation of this?) was sent to me by an art historian. She found it as a bookplate glued inside each book of a ten volume set of the works of Shakespeare published in 1767.
Apparently John Sedgwick of Nottingham, born 1751 owned the set. Apparently this is the coat-of-arms he or his ancestors used. I found it interesting in that it does not have the lion and cap of the above. Is that grass (sedge) or rye? (See below)

In a recent archeological excavation a wine bottle was found with a seal which features another variation of the above coat-of-arms

I found in a book (I can’t find the copy of the title page) this image with the description: “Sedgewick, or Sedgewicke, two ears of rye, in saltier, or.”

This is another Sedgwick arms. Mark A Sedgwick, webmaster of SedgwickResearch.com found this description in a book that claimed to quote Burke’s General Armory:
“Sa. An inescutcheon ar. an orle of martlets of the last.”
When translated the blazon also describes the original colors of the Sedgiwck arms as:
“Black; a small silver shield; an inner border of silver martlets.”
above the shield and helmet is the crest which is described as:
“Two gold ears of rye crossing diagonally.”
The first photo is more true to color, the second is color enhanced to better show the detail.
Note the crest is exactly the rye crest above, “two ears of rye, in saltier.”

[edit] Early life
Hesketh succeeded in the barony on 6 October 1955, aged four, when his father, Frederick Fermor-Hesketh, 2nd Baron Hesketh, died at age 39.[1]
He was educated at Ampleforth College, Yorkshire, England.[2] He went on to work for Dean Witter Inc in San Francisco before returning to manage his family’s businesses.[3]
[edit] Family
He married Hon. Claire Georgina Watson, daughter of Joseph Rupert Eric Robert Watson, 3rd Baron Manton and Mary Elizabeth Hallinan, on 21 May 1977 and has three children, Hon. Flora Mary Fermor-Hesketh (born 1981), Hon. Sophia Christian Fermor-Hesketh (born 1984) and the Hon. Frederick Hatton Fermor-Hesketh (born 13 October 1988).[2] The children use the surname Hesketh day-to-day.
[edit] Political career
Hesketh automatically became a member of the House of Lords but took no active part in politics until he met Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher after the Irish Republican Army’s bomb attack on her in Brighton on 12 October 1984. Thatcher visited Easton Neston and in conversation, Hesketh explained that he did not occupy his seat in the House of Lords. He later explained, “Mrs. Thatcher asked me if I served on a regular basis in the House, and when I told her no, she said, ‘You must. It’s your duty, and I expect you to be there.’”[1] From that point Hesketh worked under Thatcher, whom he described as “the most outstanding person I ever worked with”[4] and held the office of Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Environment between 1989 and 1990 and was Minister of State in the Department of Trade and Industry between 1990 and 1991. On 22 May of that year, he became Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms (Government Chief Whip in the House of Lords) under the next Prime Minister John Major, a position he kept until the 16 September 1993.[2] During his period in office as Chief Whip he helped secure the Local Government Finance Act 1992, which introduced council taxes, and the European Communities (Amendment) Act 1993,[5] which ratified the Maastricht Treaty. In 2003, he became Treasurer of the Conservative Party, resigning in 2006 due to his own financial difficulties, and was formerly a board member of The Conservative Party Foundation.[3] On 10 October 2011, Lord Hesketh defected to the UK Independence Party, in response to Prime Minister David Cameron ruling out a referendum on Britain’s membership of the European Union.[6]

Spiffing time: Sophia Hesketh, Alice Rothschild and Laura Lopes at Ben and Mary-Clare’s wedding

It is alleged the first girl Prince Harry Windsor kissed, was Sophia Hesketh. Sophia appears to have dated Freddy Windsor. Sophia’s sister, Flora, is also a British Socialite. These sisters are my distant kin, related to the Witherspoons. I lived with Dottie Witherspoon. Being facebook friends of William and Harry, I suggested Will invite Reese Withersppon to his wedding in order to extend hands across the water. To the Hesketh sisters acknowlege their American roots?

Lord Hesketh married Florence Louise Breckinridge, of Kentucky, daughter of John Witherspoon Breckinridge, and granddaughter of General John C Breckinridge, Vice-President of the United States, in 1909. They had three sons and two daughters (Flora and Louise[1]). Their eldest son Lieutenant the Hon. Thomas Sharon Fermor-Hesketh was killed in an aeroplane accident in France in 1937. Lord Hesketh died in July 1944, aged 62, and was succeeded in his titles by his second son Frederick. His third son John married Patricia Macaskie Cole in 1946[1]. His grandson Alexander Fermor-Hesketh, 3rd Baron Hesketh, is a former Conservative government minister. Florence, the Dowager Lady Hesketh died 1956.

Ephriam McDowell was descended from Somerled (or Somervil), Lord of the Isles, then from his son Dougall who founded the Clan of Dougall or MacDougal, one of the eldest of the fifty-two Highland Clans proper. In the coat of arms of the McDougals or McDowells ins quartered the lymphiad or ancient four-eared galley found in the armorial bearings of the clans of the western part of Scotland.

Ephraim’s father (Abraham McDowal [1648]) left Scotland with his father, Joseph “the Calvinist” and with his family during the period of the English Civil Wars (abt. 1650). The name Mc Dowell is a modification of the Gaelic: Mac Dhu ghall, or MacDougal, meaning son or descendant of the dark stranger or Dane. The name was given over ten centuries ago to Norse settlers in Galloway, Scotland and the descendants of a son of Prince Fergus and Princess Elizabeth de Galloway, daughter of King Henry I of England.

They soon drew around them other Scotch and Scotch-Irish families: McClungs, McElroys, McCampbells, McKees, Paxtons, Caruthers, Cowans, Campbells, Lyles, Irvins, Caldwells, Colquhouns, Stuarts—names which have since illuminated every page of Southern and Western history. In the field, in the pulpit, at the bar, in the senate, by their eloquence, learning, courage and patriotism, everywhere they have been conspicuous and have helped to build up and render famous the country with whose history and growth their illustrious names are identified.

Ephraim McDowell lived in Augusta County until his death, having accumulated an estate which was regarded as very large in those days. He was esteemed by all for his intelligence, usefulness and probity, wielding a singular and beneficent influence among the intrepid and independent spirits by whom he was surrounded, and retaining the possession of all his faculties to the last. He is buried in an enclosed cemetery between Lexington and Staunton, Virginia. The children of Governor James McDowell, together with the children of his sisters, Mrs. Taylor and Nrs. Benton, erected there a monument to their grandfather Colonel James McDowell. Ephraim McDowell’s name appears upon the monument, as will be seen in the following copy of the inscriptions upon said monument which is cut out of the dark marble common in Rockbridge County.

North Face.
Near this spot repose the remains of Ephraim McDowell, the first of his name in America, who died about 1780; John McDowell, his son, who was killed by the Indians in 1742; (December 25th) James McDowell, his son, born 1739, died 1772, and Elizabeth his wife, who died about 1810; and also their daughter Elizabeth McGavock, who died 1803.

East Face.
James McDowell was born August, 1770 and died September, 1838. Distinguished by native talent of high order, a gallant and fearless spirit, a noble sense of justice, a lofty courage and an invincible power of will, he lived honorably and usefully, discharging with singular ability and fidelity, the trusts, civil and military, committed to him, and died universally regretted. His remains repose here with those of his ancestors for three generations.

West Face.
Sarah McDowell, daughter of Col. William Preston, and wife of James McDowell, was born May 23, 1768, and died July 3rd, 1841. Born in the stormy period of our national history, her character, moulded by the spirit and developed by the struggle of the times, was eminently truthful, patriotic and elevated; Yet to those traits she added the gentler qualities of the tender and devoted woman and the sincere christian.

South Face.
To commemorate the virtues, to perpetuate the memory; to record the truth, honor, patriotism and public and social fidelity that impressed the generations to which they belonged and enabled them to transmit an honored name to their descendants; and also to testify the gratitude and reverence of their family,

This Monument
is erected to their grandparents, James and Sarah McDowell, by the surviving children of Susan P. Taylor, Elizabeth Benton, and James McDowell, in the year 1855.

McDowell was born in Columbus, Ohio, son of Abram Irvin McDowell and Eliza Seldon McDowell.[2] He was a cousin-in-law of John Buford,[3] and his brother, John Adair McDowell, served as the first colonel of the 6th Iowa Volunteer Infantry Regiment during the Civil War.[2]

In July 1864, McDowell was given command of the Department of the Pacific. He later commanded the Department of California, the Fourth Military District (the military government for Arkansas and Louisiana during Reconstruction), and the Department of the West. He was promoted to permanent major general in the regular army in 1872.
