Biography
Roger was born about 1550, the son of Roger Gregory of East Stockwith and his wife Margaret Newborne, daughter of Thomas. [1]
It’s likely that he married his first wife Mary Wigley of Middleton, Derbyshire in about 1567 as his eldest son and heir William was baptised on 16 November 1568 in Gainsborough, Lincoln, England.[1][2] Marie was buried on 14 April 1589 in Gainsborough All Saints, Lincolnshire, England.[3]
After his wife died he married Isabell Brocklesbie, the widow of Christopher Thornton, and they had one daughter Anne. There’s no register entry that agrees with the baptism date in Lincolnshire Pedigrees of 1593, there is one for 14 February 1596, Ane the daughter of Mr. Roger Gregorie.[4]
The Will of Roger Gregory, written 30 July 1598, proved at London 15 November 1598.[1][5]
The Will of Roger Gregory 1598 East Stockwith
People mentioned in the Will
John represented Granville County in the Provincial Congress on 4 April, 1776 and took an Oath of Allegiance there in 1778. [2] [3] John co-signed the currency North Carolina issued in 1779 to finance the Revolutionary War; and he further contributed to the war effort by furnishing provisions for the army on 25 February, 1780.

John Taylor was possibly the paternal fourth great-grandfather of Dame Elizabeth Rosemond “Liz” Taylor (1932 – 2011).

Revolutionary War Continental Brigadier General. In 1753, he joined a militia company to fight in the French and Indian War, but did not see action. During the 1760 Cherokee War, he served as a Lieutenant under Captain William Moultrie. In 1773, he established Pond’s Bluff Plantation and was elected to the South Carolina Provincial Congress. Upon the outbreak of hostilities against the British, he was made a Captain in the 2nd South Carolina Regiment. In November 1775, he participated in Snow’s campaign against the Tories. Promoted to Major in February 1776, he attempted to fortify the Charleston Harbor, and defended the left side at Fort Sullivan on June 28 of that year. Promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, he assumed command of the 2nd South Carolina regiment on September 23, 1778. A year later, he was called upon to fight at the second Battle of Savannah, Georgia. On May 12, 1780, he escaped capture at the fall of Charleston because he fractured his ankle at a party. In July, he marched with General Horatio Gates to Camden, South Carolina, where General Gates ordered Marion to set up a spy ring in Charleston (among his men in this operation are James and Micajah Pickett). After Gates’ defeat, Francis Marion and his men set up a guerrilla movement to harass and destroy the British, giving rise to the legend of “Swamp Fox.” In December of 1780, Governor John Rutledge promoted Francis Marion to Brigadier General. Joining with General Nathanael Greene, Continental forces slowly pushed General Lord Cornwallis out of the South and consolidated their hold. In 1782, Colonel Thompson led a 700 man force from Charleston and managed to scatter Marion’s men, but was subsequently defeated. Francis Marion’s last action in the war was on August 29, 1782, when he ambushed 200 men under Major Thomas Fraser at Fair Lawn, who attempted to reverse the trap and was left with an ammunition wagon. After the war, he was elected to the South Carolina State Senate in 1782 and 1784. When the state appointed him commander of Fort Johnston, the salary he earned helped him to rebuild his plantation, which was destroyed during the war. In 1790, he was elected to the Constitutional Convention, in which to served effectively. He had to resign his post at Fort Johnston. He was elected again in 1791 and voted for the federal union.
Yes, Francis Marion served in the South Carolina State Senate in 1782, elected to the Jacksonborough General Assembly. He was reelected in 1784 and also served from 1783–1786, 1791, and 1792–1794.
- 1782 Election: Marion was elected to the state legislature, which met at Jacksonborough, during his absence from his brigade.
- Legislative Actions: The Jacksonborough Assembly, while Marion was serving, voted to confiscate Loyalist estates.
- Subsequent Service: He was reelected in 1784 and continued to serve multiple terms in the senate, which were crucial in shaping the post-war government of South Carolina.
Details on the elections themselves are pretty scarce. The 1778 constitution limited the vote to free white men who professed a belief in God, who were at least 21 years old, and who owned at least 50 acres of land, among a few other restrictions. There were no private ballots in the 18th century, so men had to declare their votes publicly, in front of everyone. Loyalists could not vote, and it appears that the military was in charge of the elections in many places.
Whatever the limitations, the elections marked a return to civilian government after two years without any legislature at all. Many of those elected were also military leaders. Generals Sumter and Marion both became senators, as did Colonels Hugh Horry, Thomas Taylor and William Thompson. General Pickens was elected to the House, as was Continental Colonel John Laurens. The governor’s brother Hugh Rutledge, was elected Speaker of the House.
A more controversial debate focused on slaves. Senator John Laurens had long supported the idea of arming slaves to fight and offering them their freedom in exchange for service. Those suggestions had been shot down pretty overwhelmingly in the past. This time, Laurens tried to push the idea into one that focused on the popular idea of confiscation from the loyalists. He proposed that 2500 slaves, confiscated from loyalist plantations, be formed into regiments that would fight under white officers. The state was under an obligation to provide more soldiers to the Continental Army and could not seem to raise them among the white population. Since no patriots would lose slaves under this plan, and because this would resolve the problem of raising more Continental Regiments in the state, Laurens hoped that it might be more palatable to the delegates.
The other big slave debate during this session was over Sumter’s policy of paying militia with slaves seized from loyalist plantations. This also proved controversial. Sumter, as you might guess, was a vocal supporter of the bill, which authorized what he had been doing. Marion was a leading opponent. The Assembly ended up neither approving or disapproving of the practice, which had already been in place for months. In fact, the Assembly disbanded without coming to any decision on how to pay the state’s soldiers. Some of the slaves seized from the loyalists under the Confiscation Act that was passed would be used to pay Continental recruits. The Assembly also voted to grant immunity from suit for all officers who had seized private property for public use. So, although they did not approve Sumter’s practices of seizing slaves for his soldiers, they made sure he could not be sued for doing so.
ee’s resignation letter to Greene, and subsequent letters over the next few days as Greene attempted to get him to change his mind, indicated his level of frustration. Lee believed he had received insufficient credit for his deeds at Eutaw Springs. He also seemed to show frustration at Laurens’ involvement in the attack on John Island. After Greene determined that Laurens would take over Lee’s Legion after his departure, Lee criticized the appointment. He told Greene that Laurens was not experienced enough and that he would “waste the troops very fast.”
Benton Genealogy

The Bentons were originally established in Lincolnshire England. A branch of the family went to South Wales. In 1731, three brothers, Benton, came from Wales to America. They intended to settle on Chesapeake Bay, but contrary winds drove the ship south, and the brothers landed on Albermarle Sound, North Carolina, whence they went to the uplands and settled at Hillsboro, Orange County, N.C. These brothers were Samuel, Abner, and Jesse. The latter never married. Abner married in Wales, Samuel in North Carolina. This sketch has to do with Abner Benton and heirs. To him was born Jesse B. and Catherine. The latter never married, both born in North Carolina U.S.A. Jesse B. Benton was sent to England and educated. On his return from England, he was appointed (by the Crown), Secretary to the Lord Tryon, Governor of the Province. Afterwards an ugly British General in the Revolutionary War, Jesse B. Benton broke with his chief in the War for American Independence, and was an officer in the American Patriot Army. He, Jesse B. Benton, was married during the War for Independence to Ann Gooch, the daughter of a disreputable English officer under Lord Tryon. Her mother was named Hart and was American born, and Ann Gooch always said, “I came from a family of Harts.” Her cousin Col. Nathaniel Hart was killed at the “River Raisin”, in a battle with British and Indians, during the War of 1812. To the union between Jesse B. Benton and Ann Gooch, there was born Thomas Hart [the Senator], Jesse, Samuel, Nathaniel, Susan, and Catherine Benton. Susan and Catherine never married. In 1793, at the age of 46, Jesse B. Benton died at Hillsboro, N.C.
In 1796, the year Tennessee was admitted to the Union, Jesse B. Benton’s widow Ann, with her family, moved to Tennessee, and settled some forty miles south of Nashville, on land provided by her husband during his life. In 1800 Ann Benton’s sons Thomas H. and Nathaniel returned to North Carolina and entered the State school at Chapel Hill. Neither of them graduated. Of the four brothers Thomas H., Jesse, Samuel, and Nathaniel, the following facts are worthy of record: Samuel married in 1808, a Miss Grundy, and raised six children all born in Carroll County, West Tennessee. Four of these were boys, Nathaniel, Abner, Thomas H., and Samuel (the latter twins) and Catherine and Sarah. Catherine never married. The elder, Nat, went to California and reared a family. Abner died in youth. Thomas H. settled in Iowa, was a Democrat, was a Colonel and Brig. General in the U.S. Army during the Civil War. Was father of Maria Benton, a brilliant woman who married Ben Cable of Illinois and is living. Samuel settled in Holly Springs, Mississippi, reared a family, was twice a Whig Candidate for Congress, was a Confederate Colonel and brevet Brigadier General, was wounded at Resaca, Ga., and died in 1864. Sarah married a Brandt, reared a family and lived and died in St. Louis. Jesse, son of Jesse B. and Ann Benton, married in middle Tennessee, Mary (Polly) Childress, both of whom in old age died near Nashville without children. Thomas Hart, the eldest son was a member of the Tennessee Legislature, a lawyer and a Lieut. Colonel in the War of 1812. An unfortunate break between Generals Jackson, Carroll and Coffee, and Thos. H., Jesse and Nathaniel Benton brothers, resulted in a street duel in Nashville, in September 1813, in which General Jackson and General Carroll were both shot. In 1814 Thos. H. and Nathaniel moved to the Territory of Missouri. Thos. Hart Benton was elected one of the two first United States Senators for Missouri, and served thirty consecutive years, followed by two years in the lower House of Congress. After becoming a Senator he married a daughter of Governor McDowell of Virginia. To this union were born: Sarah, Mary, Jesse Ann, Elizabeth, and Randolph Benton. The latter died in his minority. Sarah married Baron Bolieau, French Minister to the U.S. in the forties, and was the mother of the celebrated artist Philip Bolieau later of New York, now deceased. Mary married a Mr. Jacobs of Jefferson County, Kentucky, an extensive Planter. Jesse Ann married Jon C Fremont, a U.S. Lieutenant of French descent, and afterwards the California Pathfinder, and later in 1856 the first Republican Candidate for President, against James Buchanan, and was not supported by Col. Benton, his father-in-law. Fremont was a Major General U.S.A. in the Civil War. Fremont and Jesse Ann Benton, had born to them John C. (who was a U.S. Naval Captain), and Lilly, who never married but lived to be sixty years old. John C. Jr., died a Captain and has a son John C. now a Captain in the U.S. Navy, and two girls not married. Elizabeth married Commodore Jones, U.S.N. and died in Florence, Italy in 1903.
Nathaniel Benton (our direct ancestor), was born in February 1788, in Hillsboro, Orange County, North Carolina, moved with his mother and family to middle Tennessee in 1796, spent afterwards two years in the North Carolina University and in 1810 married Dorothy Myra Branch, daughter [cousin] of Governor Branch of North Carolina. To this union were born Nathaniel in 1811, Alfred in 1814, Columbus in 1819, Abner in 1816, Susan in 1822, Thomas Hart in 1825, Rufus in 1829, and Maecenas in 1831. Nathaniel and Alfred were born in middle Tennessee; Abner, Columbus and Susan were born in Jefferson County, Missouri; Thomas Hart, Rufus and Maecenas were born in Dyer County, Tennessee. The elder of this family Nat Benton, spent two years at West Point Military Academy, resigned, and with his mother’s family (his father Nat Benton having died in 1833) moved to Texas in October 1835, and settled on the Brazos, near Waco. In February 1836, Nat Benton together with his brother Alfred joined the army of General Sam Houston for the liberation of Texas from Mexican domination. Nat Benton, however, accidentally shot himself in the foot, and came near passing away. Alfred Benton and Ben McCulloch were with Houston at San Jacinto and helped in Texas Independence in 1836. Nat Benton in 1837 returned to Tennessee and married Harriet, the sister of Henry and Ben McCulloch. To this union was born Benjamine Eustace Benton. Nat Benton’s wife died in 1845. In 1853 Nat Benton and son left Dyersburg, Tennessee and went to Texas. Both he and his son Eustace were in the Texas Rangers, and while so engaged Eustace was badly wounded, losing one eye. Captain Nat Benton married again during the’50s to a Miss Harris and children were born to this marriage, but the family history to which I had access did not state how many children, nor where the second Mrs. Benton died.
Nat Benton was a soldier in the Confederate army attaining the rank of Colonel, and was badly wounded at Port Hudson. He returned to Sequing Texas, and lived there till his death which occurred in 1873. His son Capt. Ben Eustace Benton married during the Civil War on April 15 1863, Miss Margaret C. Walker, daughter of General B.W. Walker, and to this union was born Miss Eulalia Benton now living in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Capt Ben E. Benton died at Pine Bluff, Arkansas June 13 1914.
Alfred Benton, second son of Nat and Dorothy M. Benton, after serving in the war for Texas Independence, died in Texas in 1838. Abner the third son, married Mary Ann Wardlaw of Ripley, Lauderdale County, Tenn., and to this union were born eleven children. Fannie, the eldest, married Tom W. Neal at Dyersburg, had two children. Ella N. Crook, now of Little Rock, Arkansas, and Lillian Simpson, and died in 1880. Alfred lives in Louisville, Ky., Ed at Trenton, Tennessee, Hattie at Memphis, Annie at Dyersburg, Tenn., and Minne at Memphis, others all dead. Columbus Benton died in infancy. Susan married one Boggess, had eleven children, none of whom are living to my knowledge, and she died in June 1885.
Thos H. Benton Jr, son of Nat and Dollie Benton, married Mary Ellen Eason, whose father was Carter T. Eason, and mother Ellen, daughter of Gen. Daniel Morgan who defeated Tarleton at the “Cow Pens”. To this union were born Maecenas E., Mary Ellen, Nat (both the latter died in infancy), Jesse Ann, Thomas H. (both of whom died when about grown), Dollie who married Frank E. Miller and had one child named Mary Ruth Miller. Dollie Benton Miller died May 1895. Samuel Abner born in 1863 died in 1894, and Fannie May, who married E.L. Logan and has had two children, Sam Benton and Ernestine. They live in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Maecenas E. Benton, the eldest of this family is a lawyer, born in Obion County, Tennessee, removed to Missouri in 1869. Was two terms State’s attorney, one term as State Representative, one term United States Attorney, and five terms a member of Congress. He was married in 1888 to Elizabeth Wise of Waxahachie, Texas and of Kentucky parentage. To whom were born Thomas Hart [the artist], Mary Elizabeth, Nathaniel Wise, and Mildred Benton, all now grown.
Rufus and Maecenas, the youngest of the children of Nat and Dorothy Benton and brothers of Nat, Abner, and Thomas H., died in youth.
This statement covers the direct line from Abner Benton the Englishman who came to America in 1731, down to and including all of the present generation of whom the writer has any knowledge.
Compiled by Maecenas E Benton of Neosho, Missouri, from old family records, from Dorothy Myra Benton’s family bible and from his personal knowledge.

uspect Marion County was name after a group of Hillbillys that came into Missouri, and Senator Thomas Hart Benton, sent them into the Oregon Territory on a mission.
Marion County
Posted on June 3, 2019 by Royal Rosamond Press
Marion County Oregon is named after Francis Marion ‘The Swamp Fox’ who was depicted in the movie ‘The Patriot’. I suspect Benton and the Freemasons brought the Scotch-Irish West to Oregon from Missouri and South Carolina, where Marion was a hero. This is why there are so many redheaded folks in Oregon. Their ancestors adored Senator Thomas Hart Benton, who was prepared to found a New Nation In the West for them because they did most of the fighting against the British. Benton is Scotch-Irish, and so was his wife. To suggest he was a low-life racist who came to Oregon just to kick around Indians and whip some slaves, is a great insult to the Ulster-Scots, that he saw going to the Orient to trade, and, marry Asian women and have children by them.
This is the Scottish Diaspora, who will know about the eviction by Ed Ray and Oregon State University! You made the wrong people feel unwelcome. We are marching to Oregon to confront the Nameless marchers who insulted our history! We will take back our Country! We will cast out the Un-Americans!
The Scottish people went to India and back hundreds of years ago. They have mixed-race descendants there. I suspect Benton was prepared to lead an Exodus if the Confederates, and their allies, won the Civil War. Benton knew what was going on in Burma and Ceylon. He was preparing his people – just incase. He was their Moses!
The Scottish diaspora throughout the world was significant but in India it was huge with every two out of three families having family members working and living in India, Burma and Ceylon.
In Sunset Magazine, Jessie Benton, said the British had a plan to deport most of the Irish-Catholics to the San Juaquin alley in order to exterminate the Scot-Protestants. Jessie edited her husband’s accounts of exploring Oregon. There were tribes that were paid by the British to harass Americans who they feared would invade Canada.

For a major university to outlaw and expunge some of the most amazing world history, in order to appease thirty Latinos marching around and disturbing the peace, is an outrage! Up until a week ago, these thugs – who refused to give their names – thought they had achieved a great victory by wiping out the White Man’s history.
You wanted a Revolution Joseph Orosco? You got it! I’m a white man who isn’t buying your racist bullshit. You looked at a photograph of Senator Thomas Hart Benton, and you saw a superior man. Some men are superior to other men. It’s in our genes! Every dog has their day. You have had yours! It will forever be Benton Hall!
We are ‘The Rose of the World’. We have overcome the world! It’s time to have a White Pride Day….. and march to drums and bagpipes! It’s time to honor the Williamites! A sleeping giant have been awoken!
There has been much ignorant discussion about the source of the name Willamette. I decree it was named after the Protestant Scotts who first settled here. They were the Williamites! Long live the Williamites in their beloved Green Valley!
Ed Ray and his tiny band of nameless men believe they have made inroads in changing the Emerlad Valley into what they want it to be! But, OSU is Ed’s fiefdom and he is the dictator-lord therein. My ancestors shed real blood to form a Democracy! We are the voice of the real people, and we will have our day. Our real protest will come, and crash down the gates of the puppet masters, and raise our Nations’ Flag!
Freedom!
I just sent this to Ed Ray! Senator Thomas Hart Benton’s family is overflowing with men who ran for, and held public office in this Democracy. To attack Benton, is to attack every man and woman whoever cast a vote!
“Every feudal lord has his day, and you have had yours. Long live real history, and the people who made it!
fiefdom
estate or domain of a feudal lord. anything, as any organization or real estate, owned or controlled by one dominant person of group
Here is Joseph Lane on the same ticket with John Breckenridge who was the Confederacy and the South. This family has more elected Senators and Congressman than the Clays. I didn’t need a gang to back me up and give me courage to go after these tyrants – that are in my family tree! I didn’t need to own non-white skin. All I needed to know was the difference between wrong and right! How many people in the photo above, voted? How many have relatives who held office? None! Was Ed Ray elected President of OSU?
NO!
These slave owners ran for office – and voted! You can’t fault them – completely! Our Founding Father’s didn’t free the slaves, or give women the right to vote! Who knows this better than all the Presidents of all the Universities? PUTIN – and his think tanks! Our think tanks are waging war against the bodies of American Women – and the Last Hippie they cant defeat!

I began a propaganda novel against the Soviet Redneck Menace. I am doing my duty to protect our democracy while being attacked from all sides! How dare Ed Ray not respond to my first letter to him! What a chicken shit! I am sure he contacted the FBI to see if I am a shooter. I have already contacted the FBI about other assholes who have threatened and harassed me. Go get Putin – you morons – because he is coming for you! I have put Victoria Bond and Miriam Starfish Christling in his way! I am fucking with his mind, like we original hippies fucked with the mind of the CIA, the FBI, and the Military – for years! Where did Ed Ray stand on the Vietnam War? Did he serve?
I want my Bond book to be made into a Broadway musical. There radical are things I can not talk about. There is so much that needs to be done. But radicals of color have made this democracy leery of strong white men. This is why they voted for Trump. Duh!
I’m not looking to start a career, or, get a degree! I’m not looking to join a movement, or revolution, because, I am what’s left of the greatest revolution in history! I go my cast already to go. I want Yulia Rose to play Starfish! I want to kick Putin’s butt! Who’s with me? Let’s go! Aren’t you sick of playing Who is the Sexist Pig? Who is the Racist Bigot? Don’t you want to win! You can’t lose with a name like Yulia Rose. Help her become a Movie Star so she can get the fuck out of Russia!
FREE YULIA! Have you no mercy?
America is about IMMIGRANTS! Did Joseph Orosco make any new allies and friends? You need allies! Sometimes you got to play hardball. I hate violence, but there is one solution to families paying money to cayotes to get to the U.S. in order to save their lives and the lives of their child. HIRED GUNS! Pay for hired assassins to off dangerous gang members. It has been done before. Then when no one wants to join a gang like they used to, you pay for protection. You stay home. You earn money in your own country and practice family and national traditions. Trump is paying billions for a political stunt, to get more Americans to become a Red State Bubba. Trump’s Traitors are playing the Hired Gun gambit on fellow Americans. El Trumpo is offering protection! Wake up!

The Rose Atom
How many of my readers are utterly distracted by Yulia Rose, and don’t care to read the rest of this post? Joseph Orosco says he has a degree in psychology. I doubt it. If Yulia said this, I would be the first to call for Benton Hall to be renamed Rose Hall.
“Please! I want to immigrate to Oregon in order to study how to be an actress at the OSU Drama Department. But, I saw it was near Benton Hall. Senator Benton was an enemy of the Russian People! I have been traumatized! Help me!”
Hey! Ed! Don’t you want Ms. Rose to succeed? Hit up Peter DeFazio for some State Funding for our Anti-Troll Think Tank. Trump will not give you a dime. Is there an old room under the bleachers where you can put Joseph and I, along with our Russian secretary, who will tell us if our bullshit, our con game, is good enough for the Big League! Just put ‘The Producers’ on the door. My ex-wife was recruited by the CIA while attending Harvard with her lover, Thomas Pynchon, who I suspect was also recruited.
Oakland Tommy
You literally have fucked with the wrong person, Joseph and Ed. You couldn’t have chosen a better enemy. This is what is making you wonder and look for ways to undermine me, discredit me, and destroy me. Your historians have feasted on the fake abuser site that Alley Valkyrie used to slime me! What this should tell you, is, history is on my side! When the Alley Gang came after me, they were shocked I was not afraid!
After I took the Mafia to court in Boston, and won, my friend introduced to me to Dottie Witherspoon.
“She needs to be saved!”
My friend had me go with her to a bar in Roxbury and meet with a top Mafia guy. I prepared her.
“He will pull out a gun, point it at your head. Just look him in the eye, and say no!”
After she said no, we left the bar. This dude was raving about how white people could be living in a all black neighborhood. He took out his gun again – and fired into the air.
“Come and get me, niggers!”
Dottie took me down to South Carolina to meet all the Witherspoon’s. Her great grandfather, Signer John Witherspoon, was a President of Princeton. The Rosamond’s and Witherspoon’s owned slaves. This truth was an abomination to us. Go here to find a Rosamond Will, where human beings are left to our children. Read it and weep! This is not a course you can take at OSU, and then make “STOP” signs for a grade! A man who knows he is a sinner searches his soul, and, begs for forgiveness. Who dare intercept this lesson from arriving, via the mere banishment of name?
“Out – dman spot!”

Dottie and I parted ways when she became a Christian. I was a follower of Meher Baba. Twenty-eight years ago I became a theologian who figured out what Jesus wrote in the dust. For 2,000 years no Monk in his cell all day, got it right!
Judging the Adulteress
When I was a boy I wanted to be a great soldier. I became a architect at eleven, then an artist. But, I will die a great General, because I know when it is time to surrender to love. Jesus was a great General who taught that people can be shown the error of their ways, and turn their lives around 180 degrees. OSU left this part out, when they threw the baby out with the bathwater!
I have seen the bad guys, Ed and Joseph. They tired to murder me, and failed! This nation was not built on the color of a man’s skin. It was built on his guts to stand up to Tyranny! There is real Tyranny in the world. OSU failed to find it. End of story!
Being kin to Ian Fleming, via my cousin. Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, I am authoring a Bond novel, starring Victoria Bond. For attempting to be brave I have been banned from an 007 Fan club. But,Victoria has the last word when she is told “there will be trouble”. Trouble is a Scot-Irish middle name.

Victoria’s Orange Parade
Posted on April 19, 2018by Royal Rosamond Press
Being part Dutch, and able to trace her lineage to William The Silent, got Victoria Bond an invite to march in the Orange Parade. But, when she insisted she play her ‘Contraption’, some of the most diplomatic folks of the Isles slithered up to her, and, as calm as can be, tried to talk her out of it.
“There will be trouble!”
“What kind of trouble? There’s always trouble. I’m not giving up my pipes – mon! That would be like me, asking you, to give up your nuts. Coo’mon! Drop em!”

It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

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.
The Williamite War in Ireland (Irish: Cogadh an Dá Rí, meaning “war of the two kings”) was a conflict between Jacobites (supporters of Catholic King James II) and Williamites (supporters of Protestant Prince William of Orange) over who would be King of England, Scotland and Ireland. It is also called the Jacobite War in Ireland or the Williamite–Jacobite War in Ireland.

Jessie was raised in Washington, D.C., more in the manner of a 19th century son than daughter, with her father, who was renowned as the “Great Expansionist,” seeing to her early education and introducing her to the leading politicians of the day, an unusual thing for the period.[2] Jessie was very close to her father and stuck by his side. He shared with her the many books and maps in the valise that always accompanied him on their trips to and from Missouri and Virginia. She began, too, to share his dream of a nation stretching from ocean to ocean. In this manner, she became well educated in the ways of social structure and the disciplines of politics, history, literature and languages. After attaining some fluency in French and Spanish, Jessie helped in the translation of government documents.

My kindred, Samuel Rosamond, Lemuel Benton, and Gavin Witherspoon, fought under the Francis Marion ‘The Swamp Fox’ in the War of Independence. John Witherspoon is a Signer and is kin to the Preston family, as are the three Patriots above. These four men are kindred to the Stewart family, and thus William and Harry Windsor. Add to this roster, the Hart and Hull family, then here is America’s most illustrious and Patriotic Family.

He sent Lt. Col. Lemuel Benton with sixteen men to seize the pass over Horse Creek. Horry’s men stumbled over a sentry who fired a shot, and they quickly rushed Sumter’s home with Col. Marion’s remaining 134 men closely behind them. In a brief fight, they killed or captured 22 British Regulars and two Loyalists. One of the Continental prisoners, Capt. Perry Benson of the 5th MD Regiment, was wounded as well.

Francis Marion Templars
Posted on September 7, 2014by Royal Rosamond Press
The call for another Crusade is coming from many leaders. Pope Francis uses language that puts a Crusader Sword at the foot of President Barack Obama, as does Ambassador Yousef Al Otaiba United Arab Emerate.
Above is a photo of a black man sitting at a table of European Leaders. Millions of Americans hate our President, and the truth he was born of a white woman who married a black man. Hatred of Interracial Marriage is common amongst neo-Confederates in the Red States. In this blog I identify racism as the No.1 enemy of America, and the world, now that our President is called upon to take military action against a truly evil enemy. I am going to publish a small book calling for the formation of the New Knights Templar. I will describe the true enemy of these Knights which will not be difficult. All I need do is compare ISIS to the Confederacy that employed ministers to preach the enslavement of men women and children. When other Americans did not buy the lie that Jesus was pro-slavery, disloyal Americans armed themselves and committed acts of treason and terrorism. If We the People are going to fight terrorists wherever they are found, then it stands to reason anything, or anyone, who resembles ISIS, is OUR enemy.
Patriot, Francis Marion, owned a black slave that was his good friend. Oscar Marion was honored by President Bush. My kindred fought for Francis in North and South Carolina. The Rosamond and Witherspoon family named their children after Francis for he was childless. No children for Oscar has been found. There is a genealogy for slaves with the name Marion that means “Star of the Sea”.
Francis (Frenchman) is considered the Father of Rangers, a special military force of the kind being summoned to fight ISIS. The word “lineage” is used in describing the Rangers that comes from Rangar, or Rover, and thus the roving Norseman, the Vikings.
Bernard Dramelay was a Knights Templar who was elected after Hughes de Rougemont. These Knights are kin to the family that came to own the Shroud of Turin, that has been a banner for Christians when there were no democracies in the world. Denis de Rougemont co-founded the European Union and the United Nations. Consider the halo of stars around the head of Stella Maris. What banner will the Templar Knights of Francis Marion carry into battle? The TKFM will dedicate ourselves to making sure the flag of the Confederacy is identified as a ISIS banner, and, see to it that it never again fly over this Land of the Free!
In the spirit of my Fremont and Benton kindred, who co-founded the Abolitionist Republican Party, I encourage black men and women to join the TKFM, and existing Special Forces of the United States.

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 was known as the Swamp Fox.

The bloodline of Hodge and Rosamond families are found at the base of South
Carolina’s history. The Hodge family also fought under Marion, as did the
Witherspoons. We shed our blood for Liberty. Our blood rises from the ground in
South Carolina. Our graves are still being found. A New South has risen. The Old
South is cut off, and withers away.
Oscar Marion was the servant of General Francis Marion (1732–1795), the legendary “Swamp Fox.” In December 2006, Oscar Marion was recognized as an “African American Patriot” in a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol, and a proclamation signed by President George W. Bush expressed the appreciation of a “grateful nation” for Oscar Marion’s “devoted and selfless consecration to the service of our country in the Armed Forces of the United States.”[1]
It is believed that, following custom, Oscar was made to take the last name of his owner, and he was one of perhaps 200 slaves (many with the last name of Marion) who served Francis Marion. But there may have been a close personal connection between the general and his slave, as some accounts of the general comment on the constant companionship and “faithfulness” of his servant Oscar, according to genealogist Tina C. Jones, a descendant of some of Francis Marion’s slaves.
Merrill’s Marauders (named after Frank Merrill) or Unit Galahad, officially named the 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional), was a United States Army long range penetration special operations jungle warfare unit, which fought in the South-East Asian theatre of World War II, or China-Burma-India Theater (CBI). The unit became famous for its deep-penetration missions behind Japanese lines, often engaging Japanese forces superior in number.
The 75th Ranger Regiment is now a light infantry combat formation within the United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC). The six battalions of the modern Rangers have been deployed in wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and saw action in several conflicts, such as those in Panama and Grenada. The Ranger Regiment traces its lineage to three of six battalions raised in WWII, and to the 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional)—known as “Merrill’s Marauders”, and then reflagged as the 475th Infantry, then later as the 75th Infantry.
Hughes de Rougemont of Villersexel was a Grand Master of the Knight Templars. Who is he?
Statement of Ambassador Yousef Al Otaiba On Challenging Regional Extremism
Islamic extremism is a Middle East problem but it is quickly becoming the world’s problem too. It is a transnational challenge, the most destabilizing and dangerous global force since fascism.
For certain, the United States and the West have a big interest in this battle. But no one has more at stake than the UAE and other moderate countries in the region that have rejected the regressive Islamist creed and embraced a different, forward-looking path.
Now is the time to act. The UAE is ready to join the international community in an urgent, coordinated and sustained effort to confront a threat that will, if unchecked, have global ramifications for decades to come.
Any action must begin with a clear plan for direct intervention against ISIS but must address the other dangerous extremist groups in the region. It is also critical to tackle the support networks, the entire militant ideological and financial complex that is the lifeblood of extremism.”

By this Charter, Ponce de Moysia, prior of Gigny, together with John of Chalon, count of Burgundy, soul, Lord of Coligny and of Andelot and Hugues de Rougemont, Grand Ma tre of the Temple, gave its seal authenticity to a famous donation. This was the one that Manasses of Coligny, brother of soul, made to the order of the Temple by receive Knight of the suzerainty of Montagna, Broissia, Eperigna (closed at Montfleur) and Holy Fountain (La Balme of Epy). This Charter, which also contains the name of the property, is one of the oldest written in French language. It mentions a large number of sites across the country and is of interest in more than one respect. Since this donation, the village of Montagna was nicknamed the Templar by distinction of Montagna-le-renewed, near Saint-Amour.

Hugues de Payens: the birth of the Templars: the memory regainedBy Thierry Leroy (Champagne historian
Humbert de Rougemont owned the Shroud of Turin
http://gilles.maillet.free.fr/histoire/famille_bourgogne/famille_rougemont_faucogney.htm
“June 1418: The widowed Margaret de Charny marries Humbert of
Villersexel, Count de la Roche, Lord of St.Hippolyte sur Doubs.”
Humbert de Villersexel is Humbert de Rougemont.
“1208 – Pons de la Roche presents to Amadeus de Tramelay, Archbishop
of Besançon, the Shroud that his son Othon de la Roche, Latin Duke
of Athens, had sent him from Constantinople.”
Aymon 2 de Rougemont was the Seigneur of Villersexel. He married
Guillemette de Ray, the daughter of Othon 2 de la Roche.
Othon 1 de la Roche (-before 1161) had a son named Pons de la Roche
the Seigneur de Ray. He first married Marguerite Tilchatel who may
be a Rougemont who came to own Til-Chatel. Guillaume, Gui, Humbert4,
Gui 2, and Thibaut 6 were Seigneurs of Til-Chatel. Othon then
married Pontia de Rougemont/de Dramelay the daughter of Thiebaud 2
de Rougemont. They has three children. Humbert, Thiebaud, and
Sibylle de la Roche. This union makes the Shroud the Rougemont
family icon, or relic.

It has long been suspected the Knights Templars came to own the
Shroud of Turin, some scholars suggesting it is the Holy Graal
itself. Here is evidence this was the case.
Jeane de Vergy, the grandniece of Othon de la Roche, son of Pons de
la Roche, presented the shroud to Amadeus de Tramelay, Archbishop of
Besancon, and Latin Duke of Athens. Tramelay is also spelled
Dramelay, as in the case of Bernard Dramelay/Tramelay, the fourth
Grand Master of the Knights Templar. Fromond Dramelay married
N.Rougemont, and from them descend the de la Roches, they the Lords
of Neufchatel. You can follow the Rougemont line to Aumiry de
Rochefoucauld who was the Grand Master of the Templars in Paris.
