INDEX

[685]

Robert is said by John of Hexham to have been created an earl by King Stephen after the Battle of the Standard, 1138. Robert inherited his father's large English fief and is reported to be third son of Henry ("The Complete Peerages, Vol. 4" [London: St. Catharine Press, 1916], p. 191). He commanded the Derbyshire forces in 1138. See the Dictionary of National Biography at http://www.lordbramhall.co.uk/dnb.htm (in 2003).

In 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_of_Derby offers:

"'Ferrer' is Norman French and means 'to bind with iron' or 'to shoe a horse' (cf. farrier). Ferrières in Normandy, the hometown of the de Ferrers family, was an important centre for ironwork. The Ferrers coat of arms shows six black horseshoes on a silver background. They were descended from Henry de Ferrers, 1st Earl of Ferrières, Lord of Longueville, Normandy, and a Domesday Commissioner; he built Tutbury Castle and Duffield Castle and had large holdings in Derbyshire as well as 17 other counties. Robert de Ferrers, 1st Earl of Derby, 2nd Earl of Ferrières (1062-1139) was created Earl of Derby by King Stephen in 1138 for his valiant conduct at the Battle of Northallerton. He was married to Hawise de Vitre and died in 1139. His son Robert de Ferrers (?-bef.1160) became the next earl and was married to Margaret Peverel . He founded Darley Abbey and Merivale Abbey. His son William de Ferrers (?-1190) was married to Sybil de Braose. He rebelled against King Henry II and was imprisoned at Caen, Normandy. He died in the Crusades at the Siege of Acre. He was succeeded by his son William de Ferrers (?-1247) who married Agnes de Keveliok, daughter of the Earl of Chester. He was succeeded by his son William de Ferrers (?-1254) who married Sibyl Marshall and then Margaret De Quency with whom he had his son and heir Robert de Ferrers (1239-1279), who became the next Earl. He rebelled against King Henry III and was arrested and imprisoned first in the Tower of London, then in Windsor Castle and Wallingford Castle, and his lands and earldom were forfeited, including Tutbury Castle which still belongs to the Duchy of Lancaster. The line eventually gave rise to the Earls Ferrers. Laurence Shirley, 4th Earl Ferrers, was the only peer of the realm to be hanged for murder."

INDEX

[59255] Mary's obituary: "Mary Iona Simmons, 85, passed away peacefully, on February 9, 2017. She was surrounded by family, while receiving Hospice Care from her grand-daughter, Nicole Stephenson (Nan and Pap’s 'Nurse Good-body'), and the wonderful staff at Down East Community Hospital. Mary was born in Jonesport on October 30, 1931 to the late Winfred and Sarah (Tracy) Wright, and resided in Addison with her loving husband of 39 years, Leo Simmons. Community was always an important part of her life, and she contributed by volunteering on many occasions, including counting votes on election days, baking brown breads for the Addison Auxiliary meetings, and serving as a volunteer driver for WHCA for many years. She and Leo were founding members of the Fish and Game Club with honorary lifetime membership. Mary enjoyed cooking and sharing her baked breads, jams, and pies with neighbors and friends. She and Leo spent many hours traveling with family members, and as a great story-teller, she had many, many hilarious stories about their adventures. Words cannot express how much Mary will be missed by her family. Mary was pre-deceased by her parents, Winfred and Sarah Wright, her first husband, Roger Norton, several siblings, her oldest daughter, Nancy Eastman, and her first great-grandson Tyler Stephenson. She is survived by her husband, Leo Simmons of Addison, her daughters Noreen Baba and her husband, Mitsukuni of Mundelein, IL, and Norma Rolfe and her husband, Allen of Addison. Mary had ten grandchildren, Nicole Stephenson, Richard Norton, Normand Bosse, Akie Baba-Coleman, Leo Chandler III, Yayoi Baba-Fugane, Rebecca Willey, Hikari Baba-Baarson, Allen Rolfe III, and Seth Rolfe. She also had six great grand-children, all of whom held a special place in her heart. She was very much looking forward to holding and loving two more great-grandchildren expected to arrive very soon."
