INDEX

[3897]

An account of the high-spirited Ela Devereaux is given by Thomas B. Costain in "The Conquerors," pp. 350 f., and "The Magnificent Century," pp. 50, 105, (crediting her with the building and endowment of Lacock Abbey). She was heir of Earl William. See Cokayne, "Complete Peerage [note 7], 11:379-82; Douglas Richardson, "Plantagenet Ancestry" (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 2005), p. 456. {Cf. "The Genealogist," XIV:361-68.} http://www.guide2womenleaders.com/womeninpower/Womeninpower1150.htm offers: "1196-1261 Hereditary Sheriff and 3rd Countess Ela d'Everux of Salisbury (United Kingdom); 1226-28 and 1131-36 Countess of Wiltshire; 1240-57 Abbess of Lacock - Daughter of William d'Everux, Earl of Salisbury, she was married to William Longspee, Earl of Salisbury by the right of his wife (d. 1226), natural son of king Henry II. She and her husband each laid a foundation stone of the new Salisbury Cathedral. During one of his long journeys abroad, when others feared he had been lost, she refused to marry any of the suitors who had their eye on her fortune and steadfastly believed in her vision of his return. She founded two religious houses in his memory, one for men at Hinton Charterhouse and the other for women at Lacock. She joined Lacock Abbey as a nun in 1238, and in 1241 became its first abbess. She lived (1187-1261)." Cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ela,_3rd_Countess_of_Salisbury.

From The History Drop on Facebook:
England, 1196. A nine-year-old girl inherited everything her father owned, making her one of the richest children in the kingdom. Within weeks, she disappeared.
Her uncle didn't waste time grieving. He smuggled Ela of Salisbury across the channel to Normandy and locked her away in a fortress tower. No rescue party. No ransom demands. Just silence. If she stayed forgotten long enough, her lands, her title, her fortune would all become his.
But one English knight refused to accept she was gone.
William Talbot crossed into Normandy disguised as a wandering pilgrim. His strategy seemed insane. He walked from castle to castle, stopping below tower windows to sing. Ballads. Folk songs. Melodies that echoed off stone walls. Then he'd listen. Wait. Move on.
Years of this. Most people assumed he'd lost his mind. Or that the girl was already dead.
Then one afternoon, from a tower window in some forgotten Norman fortress, a voice sang back.
Talbot found her. However he managed the escape, whether through stealth or bribery or sheer audacity, he got Ela back to England. King Richard himself arranged her marriage to his half-brother, William Longespee. That should have been the ending, the rescued heiress becoming a quiet noble wife.
Ela had other plans. She co-founded Salisbury Cathedral. After William died, powerful men swarmed to claim her and her estates. She invoked her widow's rights, refused every proposal, and became High Sheriff of Wiltshire instead. Then founded Lacock Abbey. Then became its Abbess.
The girl they tried to erase became one of medieval England's most powerful women.

INDEX

[9908] Polly m. Nathan Snyder (1833-1917) and r. Uniontown, OH where they are buried in the Reformed Cemetery. Perhaps her given name is Melinda, as Nathan Snyder's wife has this name in the census of Green Twp., Summit Co., OH which also shows their children: In the 1 June 1860 census Nathan, age 24 (b. in OH) and a farm laborer, is in the household of his parents, Yost (age 75, b. in PA) and Mary (age 45, b. in PA) Snyder with "Malinda" (age 23, b. in OH). In the 28 July 1870 census Nathan and Melinda [sic] are in the household next to Yost and Mary, and have children Lucy (10), Minnie (7), Birdie (5) and Braxton (1). In the 8 June 1880 census Nathan and Melinda have in their household Minerva (16), Birdie (14), Braxton (11) and Mary (Nathan's mother, age 67). Myers families are nearby in all three censuses.
