| 2102 | Waramaug succeeded Squantz in 1725 as sachem of the Potatuck Native American tribe, folded into the current Schaghticoke tribe, who lived along the length of the Housatonic River, until his death in 1735.[1] He was succeeded as sachemship of the Potatuck after his death by one of Chief Squantz's sons, Mauwehu. According to Tomaino citing Smith, he ruled in a time when the Wepawaugs, Pequannocks, Paugassetts, and Pootatucks were reblending into a single tribe.[1][2] According to Tomaino citing Orcutt, "That Waramaug was 'the most potent prince of that or any other day in this colony,' is probably a very correct judgment, and would have been demonstrated had there been any occasion for Indian Wars, since he could have called into the field all the warriors of Western Connecticut."[1][3] A monument to Waramaug was erected after his death in 1735, near the gorge to the northeast of Falls Mountain.[1][3] Lake Waramaug is named after him. An alternative name of "Wehanonaug" is given in Tomaino https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waramaug | (CHU-SHU-MACH), Weramaug Mohegan (I1626)

| 2103 | Well, I found the tentative link. According to some online genealogies, and repeated in the book The British Chronicles, Volume 1, by David Hughes, pg 128 states (emphasis mine) that: It is generally accepted that Maximus (Macsen "Wledic") was the eldest of the three sons of the Roman Governor Eucharius(355-8 & 371) and his wife Flavia, daughter of the earlier British usurper Carausius II (353-356) . The book also discusses two other lineages, but this seems to be the one relevant to the question. It appears little is known about this Carausius II : Carausius II is the name given by historians to a possible imperial usurper in Roman Britain between the years 354 and 358. Coins appear during this period bearing the name which is the same as an earlier British usurper emperor, Carausius. So it appears Maximus was descended from a Carausius, just probably not the Carausius (Marcus Aurelius Mausaeus Valerius Carausius) indicated by wikipedia. | Macsen Wledig Western Roman Emperor (I30871)

| 2104 | Who joined the loyalists and assisted in the restoration of Malcolm Ceanmore in 1057. For this service he was, according to the family historian, raised with many others to the dignity of a “Lord Baron,” on the 25th of April in that year; but such dignities it seems were not hereditary in Scotland in those days, but ended with the lives of those on whom they were conferred, though, in many cases, they were renewed to their sons. This does not appear to have happened in the case of the Camerons, and the dignity died with its first possessor. He was succeeded by his eldest son. http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/atoc/History%20of%20the%20Camerons%20to%20p%2021.pdf page 10 | CAMERON, Gillespick de (I26502)

| 2105 | Who made a great figure in the reign of King Robert Bruce, whose time the clan appears to have been numerous in Lochaber. He was one of the Highland chiefs who signed famous letter to the Pope by the Scottish Nobility in 1320, in which they plead for the king’s title to the Scottish Crown and for the Independence of Scotland. He was succeeded by his son | CAMERON, John de (I26494)

| 2106 | Who married Marion, daughter of Kenneth, thane of Lochaber, and sister of Bancho, a fact which amply proves that Angus was a person of rank and dignity, even at that early period; for Bancho, in addition to his position as a Royal Prince, was governor of one of the largest Provinces in the Kingdom, Lochaber being said to comprehend, Who married Marion, daughter of Kenneth, thane of Lochaber, and sister of Bancho, a fact which amply proves that Angus was a person of rank and dignity, even at that early period; for Bancho, in addition to his position as a Royal Prince, was governor of one of the largest Provinces in the Kingdom, Lochaber being said to comprehend, at that time, all the lands between the River Spey and the Western Sea. Angus is alleged to have been instrumental saving Fleance, the son of Bancho, his own lady’s nephew from the cruelty of Macbeth, and to have been rewarded and highly esteemed on that account. He was succeeded by his eldest son. http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/atoc/History%20of%20the%20Camerons%20to%20p%2021.pdf page 10. | Angus (I26503)

He is also mentioned in connection with some marches, in the Diocese of Aberdeen, in 1233; and in 1250 he is found designed “Johannes de Cambrun, Miles,” etc. He had two sons – 1. Robert, his heir and successor. 2. John, mentioned in Pryme’s Collections, in 1296. He is alleged to have been progenitor of the Camerons of Glenevis, though others maintain, with more probability, that they were originally Macdonalds. Sir John died in the reign of Alexander II.,and was succeeded by his eldest son http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/atoc/History%20of%20the%20Camerons%20to%20p%2021.pdf page 11. | CAMERON, John de (I26496)

| 2110 | Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Preston,_Lord_Fentonbarns ------> the lands of Penycuke were sold to Mr. John Prestoun of Fentonbarns. He received his charter from the Crown on 31st March 1604, and immediately entered into possession. It is possible, I think, that lie purchased the estate of Brunstane from the Crichtounes about the same time. The career of this gentleman is well worthy of record. The son of a baker in Edinburgh, he studied for the law and passed in due time as advocate. He was commissary of Edinburgh from 1580 to 1599, and also one of the town assessors. For some time he held the offices of Clerk Register and Collector General of the King's Augmentations. He received the appointment of a Senator of the College of Justice on 12th March 1595, and was a member of Privy Council and of the Scottish Parliament. On the 23d December 1607 he was appointed vice-president of the Court of Session, and on 6th June 1609 he was promoted to the high position of Lord President of that court. In October 1606 an Act was passed in his favour, ratifying gifts of pension of £1087, 10s. and 24 bolls of meal to him and his eldest son for life. Again, on April 1611, on account of his old age and long services to the State, he received a further grant of pension for life of £1000 per annum, to be continued to his two younger sons, George and James, between them, with benefit of survivorship. Mr. Prestoun was twice married, first to a lady of the Scott of Balwearie family, and secondly to Lilias Gilbert, the daughter of a wealthy Edinburgh merchant. Prior to his purchase of Penycuke he had acquired the estate of Fentonbarns in East Lothian, also Good-trees, now Moredun, near Edinburgh. He died on 14th June 1616, and was succeeded in the ownership of the Penycuke estates by his eldest son, John Prestoun. This gentleman, like his father, had studied for the law, and lie became Solicitor-General about the year 1621. He was also a member of the Scottish Parliament, and was created Baronet on 22d February 1628. Sir John was married to Elizabeth, only daughter of William Turnbull, the owner of Airdrie, Thomastoun, Sypsies, Pitkerrie, and other estates. William Turnbull died in 1614, and on 9th August of that year Dame Elizabeth, wife of Sir John Prestoun of Penycuke, was served heir to her father in his numerous lands, the list of which occupies nearly a whole column of the retours. Soon after her death, which occurred in the year 1623, Sir John again married, the lady being Agnes, daughter of John Lundine of that Ilk. | PRESTON, John Lord Fentonbarns, President of the College of Justice (I18616)

| 2113 | William Wallace came to the Clyde Forest after successfully ambushing the English at Loudon Hill, in July 1296. After the skirmish Wallace took refuge near Lanark in order to rest his men. It is at this time that Wallace may have met Marion Braidfute for the first time. Marion was 18 years of age and the daughter of the laird of Lamington. Marion Braidfute is described by Blind Harry "She suffered all and bore herself right lowly, so amiable she was, so benign and wise, courteous and sweet, full of noblesse, of well ordered speech." Wallace fell in love with Marion, but according to some sources, he decided that it would not be wise to marry till Scotland had been freed from the English. She informed Wallace that the Sheriff, whom Blind Harry describes as “cruel, outrageous and spiteful in his actions.' had put to death her brother who had come along with Marion to stay in his father's town house in Lanark, supposedly to avoid trouble. "From that time forward, whenever Wallace was in town, he would secretly visit with her. Marion would encourage him and helped him to get into her house through a back entrance in an alley behind the house. The sheriff Heselrig had made plans for Marion to be wed to his son. This made their affair a very difficult one. Soon after William and Marion promised to each other that as soon as he had freed his country he would return and claim her as his wife. It is noted elsewhere though, that William and Marion did in fact get married and Marion bore unto him a daughter Elizabeth. | WALLACE, William (I34898)

| 2115 | Zang Tu was originally a military general serving under Han Guang, the king of the Yan state. Around 207 BC, when rebellions broke out all over China to overthrow the Qin dynasty, Zang Tu was sent to lead an army to assist rebel forces from the insurgent Zhao state, which were under attack by a Qin army led by Zhang Han. Following the defeat of Qin forces at the Battle of Julu, Zang Tu joined a coalition rebel army under the command of Xiang Yu of the Chu state, and followed Xiang Yu as they fought their way to the Qin capital Xianyang. In 206 BC, after the fall of the Qin dynasty, Xiang Yu divided the former Qin Empire into the Eighteen Kingdoms and appointed Zang Tu as the King of Yan (燕王). Part of the former Yan kingdom was granted to Han Guang, who was appointed by Xiang Yu as the King of Liaodong. Zang Tu then returned to the Yan kingdom and attempted to force Han Guang to move to his allocated kingdom in the Liaodong Peninsula, but the latter refused to comply. As a result, Zang Tu attacked Han Guang and killed him at Wuzhong, thereby becoming king of a united Yan kingdom. In 204 BC, after his victory against the Zhao kingdom at the Battle of Jingxing, Han Xin followed Li Zuoche's advice and sent a messenger to Zang Tu, asking him to pledge allegiance to Liu Bang, the King of Han. Zang Tu agreed. In 202 BC, Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and unified China under his rule, proclaiming himself Emperor of China and establishing the Han dynasty on 28 February. Zang Tu became a vassal of the Han Empire and retained his kingly title and territories. Later that year in c.August, Zang Tu rebelled against the Han Empire, invading and capturing territory in the Dai kingdom. Liu Bang personally led an army to suppress the rebellion. Zang Tu was defeated in battle and captured in c.October. He refused to surrender and was executed by Liu Bang. | Zang Tu 臧荼 (I34589)
