The first Architect of the Capitol, William Thornton, was raised in
England and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh in
Scotland. Dr. Thornton traveled extensively on a study tour in
Europe before briefly practicing medicine in Philadelphia
(1786-1790) where he met and married Anna Maria Brodeau. His
descendants can now be found across the United States, including
Virginia, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio, Illinois and
Florida. Originally from Yorkshire, England the name Thornton means
"thorn hill."
Much has been written about the Knights Templar; their code of
conduct, their way of life, the battles and political machinations
that took place, the trials which ended their order, and the 9 men
who founded their order, and the one who commanded them at the end,
Jacque de Molay. While some work has been done to identify the men
and women who served as Templars in individual kingdoms and
countries, this is the first comprehensive work to merge all of
them together and to review the commanderies where they served.
Volume 2 of this series identifies the commanders, seneschals,
treasurers, drapers, turcopoliers, and more in Spain, Portugal,
Switzerland, Italy, Rhodes, Malta, Cyprus, Jerusalem, Outremer,
Turkey, Greece, Armenia, Syria, Egypt, Germany, Poland and the
Netherlands and the commanderies and fortresses that they built.
Tour the castles and fortresses that they commanded and learn how
each area played a part in the Crusades.
The parish registers of St. James Parish on Herring Creek in Anne
Arundel, MD - established 1692 - have long been out-of-print.
Because of this, the author has transcribed the parish records
books of the St. James Parish, along with those in Christ Church,
West River, and Cliffs. All are in Anne Arundel County, MD and
include dates back to the middle 1600's through the 1700s. There
are two (2) sections to this book. The first is an index of all the
individuals, birth, marriage and death dates along WITH their
spouse's name. At the center of the book is the index for Part 1.
Part 2 gives basically the same information but includes the place
of birth, marriage and death, WITHOUT the names of their spouses.
The index at the end of the book is for Part 2. To place these
names into family groups, please see ancestry.com for the family
file called Anne-Arundel. Front cover photo: St. James Parish today

The McAllister family. Clifford McAllister father comes from a
family who joined the Mormon Church in Ireland and emigrated to the
Americas in the 19th Century. Descended from the Ancient Kings of
Ireland from Tara Castle, they first moved to Alabama and later
moved to Indiana where they became business people, teachers,
doctors, attorneys and soldiers. Clifford's mother's family came
from England to Virginia in the early 1700s and soon moved to
Georgia, North Carolina and Alabama. Related to Winston Churchill,
Prime Minister of England, they descend from the Merovingians Kings
of Normandy, Welsh Kings, William The Conqueror, Robert de Bruce of
Scotland and the Sea-Kings of Norway. A compilation of everything
that has been done by other members of the family, there is still a
lot of research to be done, and lots to learn about individuals in
this amazing genealogy. Descended from powerful, enigmatic leaders
of the past, they have paved the way for our future.
Few individuals can document their ancestry back 85 generations.
Even fewer can trace their ancestry to the Merovingian, Capetian,
and Carolingian Kings, the Sea-Kings of Norway, the Ancient Irish
Kings of Tara, and the Grail Fisher Kings of ancient Wales. These
ancestry lines extend as far back as 780 BC in the ancient city of
Jerusalem, at Tara Castle in Ireland, and Skarra Brae in ancient
Orkney. Family names such as Wolter, Schwartz, Hanke, Kittlesby,
Rolefson, Austin, Scott, Thorndyke, Madill, Easley and Russell soon
give way to Grunewald and Albrechts from Germany, Brandt from
Norway and Allington, Sinclair, Plantagenet, Redmayne, DeGotham,
Waldegrave, de La Tour, DeVere, de Coucy of Britain and Normandy -
to Rollo, Halfdan Sveidisoon, Thorfinn of Orkney, Frosti, King of
Kvenland and Owain of Wales. Queens, Kings, Earls and Templar
Knights, Lords and Barons dominate the lines; all ambitious,
powerful and enigmatic leaders of the past who encouraged and
fought for the future that we enjoy.
