Sources: I used the following sources, some of which are to be used judiciously; therefore there may be some mistakes in this tree, particularly the further back you go (where I used Wikipedia to fill in historical information). What you see here is as accurate as I can conclude given the sources I have perused. Lines and information are labeled unverified/questionable where applicable. ~ Jamie Johnson

b. ca. 1030-1035
Bristol, England
d. 1068

According to Cheryl Grubb Christenson's Family Index,
m. possibly to
Rissa (De Montgomery) Berkeley (widow of Roger De Berkeley)
b. 1044
St. Germain, Montgomery, Normandy, France
d. 1069 or 1090
Berkeley, Gloucestershire, England		 According to Wikipedia, Eadnoth "was an Anglo-Saxon landowner and steward to Edward the Confessor and King Harold II. He is mentioned in Domesday Book as holding thirty manors in Devon, Dorset, Somerset, and Wiltshire, before the Norman conquest. He may have been the same man as Eadnoth of Ugford, also known as Alnoth. Eadnoth was killed at Bleadon in 1068, leading a force against the two sons of Harold II, who had invaded Somerset. His son Harding became sheriff reeve of Bristol, and one of his grandsons was Robert Fitzharding, the ancestor of the Berkeley family of Berkeley Castle."

According to Wikipedia, Harding "was sheriff reeve of Bristol, with responsibility for managing a manorial estate and perhaps similar duties to those of a magistrate. He was the son of Eadnoth the Constable, an Anglo-Saxon thane who served as steward to Edward the Confessor and Harold II. He was the father of Robert Fitzharding who became lord of Berkeley, Gloucestershire."

Livida De Meriet
b. 1073
Tickenham, Long Ashton, Somerset, England
d. 1101
Whetonhurst, Gloucestershire, England		 According to Cheryl Grubb Christenson's Family Index, The families with a "Fitz-" prefix go back to some of the supporters and soldiers of William the Conqueror, the first Norman king of England. It is an Anglican adulteration of the French phrase of "fils de" meaning "son of". This is typical naming technique found in Scandinavia and Scandinavian settlements such as in Scotland or Ireland where "Mac" is used. This prefix identifies the family with associations to early Scandinavian invaders and settlements of Normandy, France and England. Normandy was the home of Viking families and supporters of the Edward the Confessor, Harold and William the Conqueror.

According to A New England Genealogy, Ancestry of Pam & Jeff Martin:
Harding held as his principle holding the manor of Merriott (from whence de Meriet) in 1086 in Crewkerne, Somerset, England. He lost most of the lands previously held by his father, much of which had gone to Hugh of Chester, in 1086. He was a young man in 1086, since his second son lived until the 1170's.(1)

William of Malmesbury, speaking of Harding as then alive, tells us (3) that he was 'better used to whet his tongue in strife than to wield his arms in war.' This Harding may probably be identified with the Harding who, in 1062, subscribed the confessor's Waltham charter as 'reginæ pincerna' (4), and continued after the Conquest in the household of Eadgyth, appearing as a witness to the sale of Combe to Bishop Gisa, transacted in Eadgyth's presence at Wilton in 1072 (5). In 1086 he held lands in Gloucestershire in pledge of a certain Brihtric, who held them in the time of Edward the Confessor (6). It is safe to assume that Robert FitzHarding was his son. It is possible that Harding had an elder son, Nicolas, the ancestor of the family of Meriet. If this was so, the younger son soon outstripped the older in wealth.(7)

The parentage of Harding (living c. 1125) has been long and hotly disputed. He has been termed "son of the King of Denmark" (as in the petition of 1661), "Mayor of Bristol", and so forth. The view now generally accepted is that he was the son of Eadnoth (killed 1068), "Staller" to King Harold and to Edward the Confessor. E.A. Freeman pronounces this descent "in the highest degree probable." Eyton (in his "Shropshire") devoted much attention to the subject. Reference may also be made to the valuable researches of A. S. Ellis, and to Greenfield's most valuable Pedigree of Meriet, tracing the descent of that family from Nicholas de Meriet, elder brother to Robert Fitz Harding. The charters of Berkeley Castle were edited for Lord FitzHardinge in 1892 by I. H. Jeayes. Some genealogy websites also purport that Harding married the daughter of the King of Denmark, apparently confusing the above-mentioned petition of 1661. (8)

The following was in Dugdale's Baronage:

...That Harding... is by some said [Vet. MS. in castro de Berkley Lel Coll. Vol. 1. 912] to have been the youngest Son to one of the Kings of Denmark; and by [Lel. Itin. 420] others, Ex Regia Prosapia Fegum Daniæ ortus, Descended from the Royal Line of those Kings (which little differs in point of honor and dignity:) And that, accompanying Duke William of Normandy, in that signal expedition which he made into England, he was in that memorable Battle, with him, against King Harold, wherein being victor, he thenceforth became King of this Realm. But all I have farther seen of this Harding, is, That after that Conquest, he held Wirenhort (now called Whetenhust) in Com. Gloc. of Earl Brictrick, in mortgage; and that he died 6 Nov. 16. Hen. 1. Other Sons this Harding, before-specified, had, viz. Nicholas, who in 12 Hen. 2. residing in Somersetshire, held there two Knights Fees, and an half of the King; Elias, Jordan, and Maurice; as also three Daughters, Agnes, the Wife of Hugh de Haselee, Maud, and Cicely.(9)

According to Wikipedia, Robert "was an Anglo-Saxon nobleman from Bristol who was granted the feudal barony of Berkeley in Gloucestershire. He rebuilt Berkeley Castle, and founded the Berkeley family which still occupies it today. He was a wealthy Bristol merchant and a financier of Henry Plantagenet, Duke of Aquitaine, who was the rival of King Stephen (1135-54) during the period known as The Anarchy and who subsequently became King Henry II (1154-89). Fitzharding founded St. Augustine's Abbey, which after the Reformation became Bristol Cathedral. Many members of the Berkeley family were buried within it, and some of their effigies survive there. As J. Horace Round asserted he was one of the very few Anglo-Saxon noblemen who managed to retain their noble status in Norman England and successfully integrate with the Norman nobility, if not the only one.

Newby Name Meaning
English: habitational name from any of the various places in northern England named with the Middle English elements newe 'new' + by 'farm', 'settlement' (of Old Norse origin).
Source: Dictionary of American Family Names ©2013, Oxford University Press
According to page 171 of The History of the Hunt Family by Roger D. Hunt (2011), "The unusual surname Newby is of medieval English origin, and likely adopted from any of the various places named that in northern England. For example, Newby in Cumberland is recorded as 'Neubi' in the Register of the Priory of Wetherhal (ca 1165); the place in Westmorland is registered in the Early Yorkshire Charters as 'Neuby' (ca 1160); and in Yorkshire as 'Neuby' in the Percy Chartulary (ca 1240). All of the locations are believed to have been given the name from the Middle English words 'newe' meaning new and 'by' meaning a farm; hence a 'new farm.'" The name is also seen in records as Neuby, Neubi, Newbie and Nubi.

Note: The first Newby ancestor I am certain of is James Newby listed below. These earlier generations are possibly in his ancestry.

Bootle, England
He was in Marblehead, Massachussetts by 1644-1645 or before

"Edmund Nicholson also appeared in court relatively often; he seems to not have been a person afraid of standing up for his rights or defending himself in disputes."

d. drowned at sea 4 June 1660
Massachusetts

"Incredibly, because of Elizabeth's leanings towards Quakerism, which church leaders despised with a fanatical vengeance, Elizabeth and her two sons were accused of drowning her husband." Refer to the right for details.

Source for above quotes and this couple: The History of the Hunt Family by Roger D. Hunt, 2011, pp. 281-282

 m. ca. 1637 Elizabeth Simpson
b. 1617
Boothy, England
d. 1674
Essex, Massachusetts		 "George Bishop, in his book New England Judged originally published in 1667, provided an account of the court's charges against the family. In his book, which addressed the Boston officials, Bishop wrote that Elizabeth and her sons were 'charged with the death of Edmund Nicholson, her husband, and their father, who was found dead in the sea.' This was based on the solid evidence that the three were witches. Remember, Marblehead was next to Salem, and nobody loved a good witch trial quite like the lunatics in Massachusetts. According to Bishop's contemporaneous account, Elizabeth was fined 'a great sum' which was taken in 'good fish' and 'in barrels of mackerel, so devouring the widow's house.'

Elizabeth's two sons were placed in a butcher's cub (holding pen) at Boston, where they were forced to stand for hours under a gallows with ropes around their necks. The sons were also 'whipped in your market-place, which was performed with many bloody lashes.' The young men were 'whipped also at Salem, where Michelson, the marshal, a bloody-spirited man, came to see it executed, where it was so mercilessly done, that one of the young men sunk down or fainted away under the torture of his cruel suffering, whose body they raised up again, and his senses came to him.' As historian Ray Winslow Jr. wrote, the charges were founded 'upon no evidence but stemming from the official prejudice against Quakers, the matter became an example of the lengths to which Massachusetts would go in persecuting Quakers.'

Eventually, after they got their fill of witch torture, the court let the three go."

Abigail Bailey "was the eldest child, and married William Charles in Rhode Island before moving to North Carolina. The proof that 'Abigall Balie,' wife of William Charles, was the same person as Abigail, the eldest child of William and Grace Bailey, comes from the will of Abigail's daughter Jane Charles, dated 1688 in Perquimans Precinct, North Carolina, in which she named, among others, her 'Aunt Marce Stepney' who was Mercy (a.k.a.

"Samuel Nicholson was a justice of the Perquimans County court from January 1696/1697 to April 1701. He was also a Burgess in the colonial Assembly in 1708."

 m. 16 December 1688 in Perquimans, NC

"Elizabeth was the young lady, who at the age of about 18, became the head of the family because her parents and five older siblings had all died. The couple married 'at ye quarterly meeting' at Jonathan Phelps' house."

 Elizabeth Charles or Kent
b. 8 January 1671/1672
Perquimans County, North Carolina
d. btwn 12 March 1746 and January 1747
Perquimans, NC

Don't confuse this Elizabeth with her alleged older sister of the same name. Regarding this Elizabeth, "by the time she was 18 had become the head of the family due to the fact her parents and five older siblings had all died. She was the second child in the family to have the name Elizabeth, the first transported with her older brother William and who must have died young" (The History of the Hunt Family by Roger D. Hunt, 2011, p. 276).

↓		 Researcher Joanne Skelton questions whether or not Elizabeth's maiden surname was Charles. After reviewing the marriage records for Perquimans Precinct after 1679, she found the following:
  • William Charles, oldest son of William and Abigail, married Elizabeth Kent on 8 Nov 1683.
  • Jeles Longe married Elizabeth Charles on 11 Aug 1687
  • Samuel Nicholson and Elizabeth Charles were married at a Quaker meeting 16 Dec 1688
Skelton indicates that "by 1684 we have at least two women named Elizabeth Charles: the daughter of William and Abigail and the wife of William Charles (2). Why does this make a difference? Because William (2) died sometime between 4 Apr 1687 when he made his will and 23 Sep 1687 when the will was probated, so now there is a widow named Elizabeth Charles who probably married either Jeles Longe or Samuel Nicholson." Skelton later indicates that this Elizabeth was "Elizabeth Kent, born 1 Jun 1667, the daughter of Thomas and Ann Kent, and also the widow of William Charles."

However, other reputable sources support that Elizabeth's maiden surname was Charles among other things:

  • The well-researched Geni.com master profile of Elizabeth Nicholson has multiple references and shows that she was married twice: first to Samuel Nicholson and second to Zachariah Nixon. It also shows that her parents were William Charles and Abigail Bailey.
  • The FamilySearch profile agrees and lists her parents as William Charles and Abigail Lury Balie.
  • RootsWeb echoes likewise.

?? The Questionable Ancestry of Albert Albertson ??

↓ (scroll to read all) ↓

"It is frequently repeated that Albert Albertson was the son of Nicholas Albertson of Scituate, Massachusetts. The Scituate inhabitant was called 'Nicholas Albeson the Swede' in a report by soldiers of the town during Phillip's War in 1676. Records of the Colony of New Plymouth identify Nicholas Albeson in 1674 as one who was brought before the court for various offenses, including 'breach of the Sabbath and pilfering and telling a lye in his examination' and who was 'centanced by the Court to be publickly whipt' which 'accordingly was inflicted.' ... The book Old Scituate also describes that in 1676, the hut of 'Nicholas the sweede Albeson' burned down and the town later voted to allow him three pounds towards rebuilding his house.

Though it is possible that our ancestor, Albert Albertson, could have been related to the Nicholas Albertson of Massachusetts, it is not likely, and there is no evidence whatsoever to support that hypothesis. It is more likely that our ancestor, Albert Albertson, was of English origin. Albertson is an English language patronymic surname meaning the obvious, i.e., 'son of Albert,' and records of its use for centuries can be found in that country" (p. 289, The History of the Hunt Family by Roger D. Hunt, 2011).

The parentage of Samuel Newby

In Lew Griffin's research, which references William Wade Hinshaw, Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy Vol I North Carolina (Caution!), p. 5 in Supplement, "Samuel, Little River, m Elizabeth Albertson, at ye Lower MH" and in my research here (which is backed by The History of the Hunt Family by Roger D. Hunt, 2011, p. 286, 291), we have Jeams and Sarah (Nicholson) Newby as the parents of Samuel Newby (b. 1704). However, the Geni profile of Samuel Newby had his parents as Gabriel Isaac Newby and Mary (Tomes) Newby (which was removed later by a curator since it was in error). Questioning the conclusion of Geni.com, I had corresponded with Lew and looked into sources used. Lew mentioned that apparently, a Gabriel Newby left a will which does mention a son Samuel. He is unsure if it is the same Samuel or a different one. Lew referred to the FamilySearch profile of Gabriel Newby. I glanced at the sources used there and found nothing supporting Gabriel and Mary Tomes Newby being the parents of Samuel Newby who married Elizabeth Albertson. In fact, one of their sources (p. 107 of the very Hinshaw source -- to be used with caution -- Lew references) supports that Jeams Newby (James Newby) is the father of Samuel b. 23 August 1704, which supports what we have and agrees with the Hunt book. So, I think that settles it, then, that what I have here is the accurate parentage of Samuel Newby b. 23 August 1704.
