The cause of her death (at the age of 49) on Wednesday, November 29th, 1290 was from ,alaria-surviving in 1290 was difficult Source beginning in 1287, Eleanor became ill (possibly with malaria) that left her weak and open to illness-in the summer of 1290 she toured her properties and her final stop was at the village of Harby, Nottinghamshire, less than 7 miles (11 km) from Lincoln The journey was then abandoned, and the queen was lodged in the house of Richard de Weston, the foundations of which can still be seen near Harby's parish church2 |

Her devotion to Edward helped bring out his better qualities; after her death, his […] | |
Historical fact | She See note. Eleanor was well loved and is warmly remembered by history as the queen who inspired the Eleanor crosses, but she was not so loved in her own time. Her reputation was primarily as a keen businesswoman. Eleanor's property dealings made her widely unpopular. | |

Historical fact | 1254 | She See note; marriage; in 1254. Eleanor's marriage to the future King Edward I of England was not the first marriage her family planned for her The kings of Castile had long made a tenuous claim to be paramount lords of the Kingdom of Navarre in the Pyrenees, and from 1252 Ferdinand III's heir, Eleanor's half-brother Alfonso X of Castile, hoped she would marry Theobald II of Navarre To avoid Castilian control, Margaret of Bourbon (mother and regent to Theobald II) in August 1253 allied with James I of Aragon instead, and as part of that treaty solemnly promised that Theobald would never marry Eleanor |

Historical fact | 1284 | She See note; in 1284. Arranged royal marriages in the Middle Ages were not always happy, but available evidence indicates that Eleanor and Edward were devoted to each other. Edward is among the few medieval English kings not known to have conducted extramarital affairs or fathered children out of wedlock. The couple were rarely apart; she accompanied him on military campaigns in Wales, famously giving birth to their son Edward on 25 April 1284 at Caernarfon Castle, either in a temporary dwelling erected for her amid the construction works, or in the partially constructed Eagle Tower. |

Note | Research note Date: July 30, 2021 at 2:12:19 PM EDT From: [email protected] I [Tina] am writing on behalf of my husband David to let you all know that we appreciate any help you can give us in solving the mystery of Edna. While I have found several articles about her and the family, there have been no [obvious] pictures So far what I have gathered has left more questions about Edna and her life We still do not know if "Mary" is the child that Edna had in Minnesota, and gave her up for adoption. We were told [by ?] that there was a daughter she had that she may have kept and one that she gave up; they said it was "confusing" We initiated a birth mother search in the early 90's; Edna's daughter was adopted through Hennepin County, Minnesota-both declined to share any information. The daughter even said "never contact her again". Edna told them "her life was never any better". The office said it "wasn't a good situation and probably best not to look into it" Around 2009 we decided to search again; oddly enough, the reason we wanted to search and find out more was due to some mental health/substance abuse issues with our children. We had been told that there was nothing like that in the history and yet they did tell us of the suicide We were not given Edna's name until after she had passed away. We were shocked to find she lived so near us. We had always assumed that she was from Minnesota We also wondered if Edna's situation added to what seemed to be an unexpected suicide of her father, furthering any estrangement? Someone mentioned that maybe Edna had left to go have a baby in Minnesota...perhaps that [child] was Mary? That would have to have been when she was 16? She married Harold Wilbur Jacobs in July 1939 when she was 17, and had Peter in Jan 1940, Peggy in 1941 and Grace in 1942. They were divorced in 1943 (also shown as sourced Jan 1958) on the grounds of cruelty [We are] not sure what happened in those next years with her children. The court records show that they petitioned for control after they were left neglected in 1953 It seems that their father remarried (twice) and moved to Florida so it doesn't look like he kept the children. I wondered if they were raised in the Masonic home? We have yet to have contact with anyone on this side of the family other than you all A couple of people that are a little more distant are also adopted trying to find their parentage Do you know if Edna lived in California before 1992? Was she ever married again? What was the Minnesota connection? family? We are also unraveling Dave's paternal side since we were finally able to figure out his father. I may have shared that Dave's biological father Virgil Gutzke was living in Minneapolis with his wife and 3 children when he met Edna as she was living there at the time. He is deceased now. He and that wife weren't married much longer [thx] Tina and David Sampson. | |

Historical fact | about August 1946 | She The death of her son (by James Montana) who died suspiciously right after his birth--see note; in Meriden, New Haven County, Connecticut, United States (North America)G, about August 1946. [ text extracted from a newspaper cutting / date is early 1947 ] Eliminating murder as a motive in the death of a new-born baby boy last August, Coroner James J. Corrigan, of New Haven, in the finding issued yesterday afternoon found Edna K. Jacobs, of Old Colony Road, criminally responsible in the death of her child Captain Walter L. Kurcon, head of the detective bureau, said Miss Jacobs, who is free in bonds of $1,000 on the charge of secretly delivering a baby, will be charged with infanticide Coroner Corrigen said he questioned the unmarried woman and Officer David Doherty of the Meriden police, and found that Miss Jacobs gave birth to a son at 1am Aug 3rd, 1946, and that the baby's body was found at 9:30am Aug 5th in the South Meriden dump by Frank Erdos, trucker, who had picked it up at about 7:30am that morning in a barrel of rubbish at the boarding house where the mother lived. [he stated that] "I find that the baby's parents had known each other for about eighteen months prior to the birth and had been on intimate terms during all of the time. As a result of their relationship the mother became pregnant at some time toward the latter part of 1945. When she was unable to communicate with the father [James Montana] because he was in Vermont on a fishing trip, I find that she started to take pills, and that the baby was born in her room at 1am Aug 3rd. She claims that the baby was born dead. At the inquest she testified that [with] her pain and discomfort, she allowed the baby to remain in bed until approximately 6am, at which time she wrapped him up and put him in the refuse barrel. Her first statement to the police, though, was to the affect that she wrapped him up in the sheets from her bed right after he was born; that she then put the sheets and the baby in a paper bag and wrapped the entire bundle in a raincoat, after which she put him in the barrel in the hall. The cause of the death was asphyxiation, and, whether the mother deliberately smothered the child or whether it was the result of this wrapping, I find that she was guilty of some crime of homicide. If she did not do it deliberately, the degree of negligence in wrapping the child in such a way that it was deprived of air constitutes negligence of a very high degree and one that under our law is criminal. There were no witnesses […]" [ con't on a different page / not yet available ] |

Note | [ from an HTML file ] Son of William Bradford, William IV was the second governor of Plymouth Colony Bradford Jr was assistant to the colony, deputy governor, treasurer and a Major (see Military fact) [ from a Word file ] William Bradford pp 3031 Cyclopedia of American L William Bradford was born at Ansterfield (sic), in the north of England, in 1588. He was educated as a farmer, and inherited a large patrimony Embracing at an early age the tenets of the Puritans, he connected himself with the congregation of the celebrated John Robinson, and at the age of nineteen, after two unsuccessful attempts, joined his associates at Amsterdam. He remained in Holland until 1620, when he formed one of the ship’s company of the Mayflower. While exploring the bay in a small boat, for the purpose of selecting a place for settlement, his wife was drowned. After the death of Governor Carver, April 5, 1621, he was chosen his successor. He established by gentleness and firmness a good understanding with the Indians, and conducted the internal affairs of the colony with equal sagacity. He was annually re-elected for twelve years, and then, in the words of Governor Winthrop, “by importunity, got off” from the cares of office for two years, when he was re-elected, and continued in power, with the exceptions of the years 1636, ’38, and ’44, until his death May 9, 1657. He was twice married, and left two sons by his second wife, Alice Southworth. The eldest, William, was deputy governor of the colony, and had nine sons and three daughters Numerous anecdotes are related of Governor Bradford, indicative of ready wit and good common sense. When in 1622, during a period of great scarcity in the colony, Canonicus, Sachem of Narragansett, sent him a bundle of arrows tied with the skin of a serpent, the messenger was immediately sent back with the skin stuffed with powder and ball, which caused a speedy and satisfactory termination to the correspondence. Suspecting one Lyford of plotting against the ecclesiastical arrangements of the colony, he boarded a ship, which was known to have carried out a large number of letters written by him, after she left port, examined them, and thus obtained evidence by which Lyford was tried and banished Governor Bradford’s reputation as an author is decidedly of a posthumous character. He left a MS. History, in a folio volume of 270 pages, of the Plymouth colony, from the formation of their church in 1602 to 1747. It furnished the material for Morton’s Memorial, was used by Prince and Governor Hutchinson in the preparation of their histories, and deposited, with the papers of the former, in the library of the Old South Church, in Boston. During the desecration of this edifice as a riding school by the British in the Revolutionary War, the MS. Disappeared. (It was given up for lost till 1655, when it was found complete in the Fulham Library, England.) A copy of a portion closing with the year 1620, in the handwriting of Nathaniel Morton, was discovered by the Rev. Alexander Young in the library of the First Church, at Plymouth, and printed in his Chronicles of the Pilgrim Fathers of the Colony of Plymouth, in 1841. A “letter-book”, in which Bradford preserved copies of his correspondence, met with a similar fate, a portion only having been rescued from a grocer’s shop in Halifax, and published in the Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, in 1794, vol. iii. of the first series of Collections with a fragment of a poem on New England. These, with two other specimens of a few lines each, first published by the same society in 1838, (third series, vii.) with the exception of some slight controversial pieces, the whole of his literary productions “I commend unto your wisdom and discretion,” he says in his will, “some small bookes written by my own hand, to be improved as you shall see meet. In special, I commend you to a little booke with a black cover, wherein there is a word to Plymouth, a word to Boston, and a word to New England, with sundry useful verses” OF BOSTON IN NEW ENGLAND O Boston, though thou now art grown To be a great and wealthy town, Yet I have seen thee a void place, Shrubs and bushes covering thy face; And house then in thee none were there, Nor such as gold and silk did weare; No drunkenness were then in thee, Nor such excess as now we see We then drunk freely of thy spring, Without paying of anything; We lodged freely where we would, All things were free and nothing sold And they that did thee first begin, Had hearts as free and as willing Their poor friends for to entertain, And never looked at sordid gain Some thou hast had whome I did know, That spent theirselves to make thee grow, And thy foundations they did lay, Which do remain unto this day When thou wast weak they did thee nurse, Or else with thee it had been worse; They left thee not, but did defend And succor thee unto their end Thou now hast grown in wealth and store, Do not forget that thou wast poor, And lift not up thyself in pride, From truth and justice turn not aside Remember thou a Cotton had, Which made the hearts of many glad; What he thee taught bear thou in mind, It’s hard another such to find A Winthrop once in thee was known, Who unto thee was as a crown Such ornaments are very rare, Yet thou enjoyed this blessed pair But these are gone, their work is done, Their day is past, set is their sun: Yet faithful Wilson still remains, And learned Norton doth take pains Live ye in peace. I could say more Oppress ye not the weak and poor The trade is all in your own hand, Take heed ye do not wrong the land, Lest he that hath lift you on high, When, as the poor to him do cry, Do throw you down from your high state, And make you low and desolate FRAGMENTARY POEM ON NEW ENGLAND [...]Famine once we had, But other things God gave us in full store, As fish and ground-nuts, to supply our strait, That we might learn on Providence to wait; And know, by bread man lives not in his need But by each word that doth from God proceed. But a while after plenty did come in, From his hand only who doth pardon sin. And all did flourish like the pleasant green, Which in the joyful spring is to be seen Almost ten years we lived here alone, In other places there were few or none; For Salem was the next of any fame, That began to augment New England’s name; But after multitudes began to flow, More than well knew themselves where to bestow; Boston then began her roots to spread, And quickly soon she grew to be the head, Not only of the Massachusetts Bay, But all trade and commerce fell in her way And truly it was admirable to know, How greatly all things here began to grow New plantations were in each place begun, And with inhabitants were filled soon All sorts of grain which our own land doth yield, Was hither brought, and sown in every field: As wheat and rye, barley, oats, beans and pease, Here all thrive, and they profit from them raise All sorts of roots and herbs in gardens grow, Parsnips, carrots, turnips, or what you’ll sow. Onions, melons, cucumbers, radishes, Skirets, beets, coleworts and fair cabbages Here grow fine flowers many, and ‘mongst those, The fair white lily and sweet fragrant rose Many good wholesome berries here you’ll find, Fit for man’s use, almost of every kind, Pears, apples, cherries, plumbs, quinces and peach, Are now no dainties; you may have of each Nuts and grapes of several sorts are here, If you will take the pains them to seek for * * * * * * * * * * * * * * But that which did ‘bove all the rest excel, God in his word, with us he here did dwell; Well ordered churches, in each place there were, And a learn’d ministry was planted here All marvell’d and said: “Lord, this work is thine, In the wilderness to make such lights to shine” And truly it was a glorious thing, Thus to hear men pray, and God’s praises sing Where these natives were wont to cry and yell To Satan, who ‘mongst them doth rule and dwell Oh, how great comfort it was now to see The churches to enjoy free liberty! And to have the Gospel preach’d here with power, And such wolves repell’d as would else devour; And now with plenty their poor soul were fed, With better food than wheat, or angel’s bread, In green pastures, they may themselves solace, And drink freely of the sweet springs of grace; A pleasant banquet is prepar’d for these, Of fat things, and rich wine upon the lees; “Eat, O my friends (saith Christ), and drink freely, Here’s wine and milk, and all sweet spicery; The honey and its comb is here to be had; I myself for you have this banquet made: Be not dismayed, but let your heart rejoice In this wilderness, O let me hear your voice; My friends you are, whilst you my ways do keep, Your sins I’ll pardon and your good I’ll seek” And they, poor souls, again to Christ do say: “O Lord, thou art our hope, our strength and stay, Who givest to us all these thy good things, Us shelter still, in the shadow of thy wings: So we shall sing, and laud thy name with praise, “Tis thine own work to keep us in thy ways; Uphold us still, O thou which art most high, We then shall be kept, and thy name glorify, Let us enjoy thyself, with these means of grace, And in our hearts shine, with the light of thy face; Take not away thy presence, nor thy word, But, we humbly pray, us the same afford” [ from a Word doc ] William Bradford IV About William Bradford, IV Major William Bradford was born on 17 June 1624 in Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts.
