Dear Newsgroup ~

Today I had the opportunity to further research the matter of Theobald deVerdun's wife, Margery.

VCH Gloucester 11 (1976): 12 indicates about 1170, Hugh, Earl of Chester,granted the fee of Bisley, co. Gloucester to Humphrey de Bohun,son-in-law of Miles of Hereford. Humphrey was to hold the property forthe service of 3 knights fees out of the 5 owed for the fee.

VCH Gloucester 11 (1976): 1 further shows that in 1274, the Hundred Rollsshow that the hundred of Bisley was held by Peter Corbet (in rightof hiswife, Joan), Tibbald le Botiler (in right of his wife, Margery), andRichard le Eyer. Half of the profits belonged to Peter, the other halfwas sharedequally by Tibbald and Richard.

In 1303, a total of 2 3/4 fees in Bisley and Stroud were held from theearl of Hereford. including parts of Bisley manor, which fees were in thepossession respectively of Joan Corbet, Tibbald de Verdun, and Richard ofBisley [Reference: FeudalAids, 2 (1900): 251].

In 1309, at Theobald de Verdun's death, it was recorded that he owned acapital messuage and lands at Bisley, co. Gloucester "in free marriage ofthe earl of Hereford by service of rendering 1 lb. cummin yearly."[Reference: Cal. IPM, vol. 5 (1908): 96].

The above information, taken together with the abstract of the legalcaseI posted earlier today, make it clear that Theobald de Verdun's wife,Margery, was the daughter of Humphrey de Bohun,and that she had a 1/4share of the manor and hundred of Bisley, co. Gloucester in freemarriage. Also, it appears that Margery was married previously to acertain Robert de W., who evidently died prior to 1274, without maleissue. For an abstract of the legal case, see my earlier post which isshown below.

As to which Humphrey de Bohun was Margery's father, it appears that thecorrect Humphrey is the Humphrey de Bohun, born say 1230, died 1265, whomarried before 1249 Eleanor, daughter of William deBreuse, lord ofAbergavenny, by Eve, daughter of William le Marshal, Earl of Pembroke.This Humphrey was never Earl of Hereford, he having died in his father'slifetime. This would explain why Theobald de Verdun's statements refer tohim only as "one Humphrey" and not as "Humphrey, Earl of Hereford."

It is unusual that a high born marriage for a Bohun woman should haveescaped the attention of so many people prior to this time. Thissituationappears to have been caused by the tangled history of the hundred andmanor of Bisley, co. Gloucester,which properties had multiple owners. Itis fortunate indeed that a record of Theobald de Verdun's statementsregarding his wife's parentage were preserved in the Yearbooks of EdwardI and that his inquisition clearly show that he acquired the property atBisley in free marriage, held under the Earls of Hereford.

Given that some 40 odd immigrants descend from Theobald de Verdun and hiswife, Margery de Bohun, this new discovery doubtless affects the ancestryof a good many people here in the newsgroup.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

Tenth President
1841-1845

Dubbed "His Accidency" by his detractors, John Tyler was the first Vice President to be elevated to the office of President by the death of his predecessor.

Born in Virginia in 1790, he was raised believing that the Constitution must be strictly construed. He never wavered from this conviction. He attended the College of William and Mary and studied law.

Serving in the House of Representatives from 1816 to 1821, Tyler voted against most nationalist legislation and opposed the Missouri Compromise. After leaving the House he served twice as Governor of Virginia. As a Senator he reluctantly supported Jackson for President as a choice of evils. Tyler soon joined the states' rights Southerners in Congress who banded with Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and their newly formed Whig party opposing President Jackson.

The Whigs nominated Tyler for Vice President in 1840, hoping for support from southern states'-righters who could not stomach Jacksonian Democracy. The slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" implied flagwavingnationalism plus a dash of southern sectionalism.

Clay, intending to keep party leadership in his own hands, minimized his nationalist views temporarily; Webster proclaimed himself "a Jeffersonian Democrat." But after the election, both men tried to dominate "Old Tippecanoe."

Suddenly President Harrison was dead, and "Tyler too" was in the White House. At first the Whigs were not too disturbed, although Tyler insisted upon assuming the full powers of a duly elected President. He even delivered an Inaugural Address, but it seemed full of good Whig doctrine. Whigs, optimistic that Tyler would accept their program, soon were disillusioned.

Tyler was ready to compromise on the banking question, but Clay would not budge. He would not accept Tyler's "exchequer system," and Tyler vetoed Clay's bill to establish a National Bank with branches in several states. A similar bank bill was passed by Congress. But again, on states' rights grounds, Tyler vetoed it.

In retaliation, the Whigs expelled Tyler from their party. All the Cabinet resigned but Secretary of State Webster. A year later when Tyler vetoed a tariff bill, the first impeachment resolution against a President was introduced in the House of Representatives. A committee headed by Representative John Quincy Adams reported that the President had misused the veto power, but the resolution failed.

Despite their differences, President Tyler and the Whig Congress enacted much positive legislation. The "Log- Cabin" bill enabled a settler to claim 160 acres of land before it was offered publicly for sale, and later pay $1.25 an acre for it.

In 1842 Tyler did sign a tariff bill protecting northern manufacturers. The Webster-Ashburton treaty ended a Canadian boundary dispute; in 1845 Texas was annexed.

The administration of this states'-righter strengthened the Presidency. But it also increased sectional cleavage that led toward civil war. By the end of his term, Tyler had replaced the original Whig Cabinet with southern conservatives. In 1844 Calhoun became Secretary of State. Later these men returned to the Democratic Party, committed to the preservation of states' rights, planter interests, and the institution of slavery. Whigs became more representative of northern business and farming interests.

When the first southern states seceded in 1861, Tyler led a compromise movement; failing, he worked to create the Southern Confederacy. He die din 1862, a member of the Confederate House of Representatives.
