Story from "The Collins Book" by Maxwell M McDonald	Collins, Richard Francis (I7019)
725	Robert de Vere, 3rd Earl of Oxford and Lord Chamberlain of England (c.1170 - October 25, 1221) also took part as a crusader in the holy wars. Robert had already reached middle age when the death of his childless elder brother Aubrey in 1214, made him third earl and hereditary great chamberlain of England. Robert pursued a different course than his brother, Aubrey. He was one of the celebrated 25 barons who took up arms against the King and operating "in the defense of England" forced King John to sign the Magna Carta (in the 15th year of his reign). Robert and the others were appointed as Sureties to enforce the observance of the Magna Carta (for which he and the others were excommunicated by the Pope.)The Barons offered the crown of England to Louis, son of the French King, and a French force landed and established themselves at Colchester Castle. The invaders were soon attacked by King John and forced to surrender. John then turned his wrath on Castle Hedingham, which he put under siege in 1216. It was only after a long fierce resistance, that the rebel forces surrendered and John took the castle. The Dauphin and his soldiers returned in 1217 and laid siege to Hedingham. After a long fight it was re-taken. On the death of King John, the new King Henry III made peace with the Barons, and Robert de Vere was returned to favor. Hedingham and all of his estates were returned. In the beginning of the reign of King Henry III the third Earl of Oxford appears to have been one of the judges in the Court of King's Bench (as evidenced from a fine levied before him and others). This Earl of Oxford has, by some, been described as a judge of the royal court, on the strength of this single record of fines levied before him in 1220. Also, as a younger son, he might very well have been brought up to study the law. But Robert may have only been presiding, as peers often did, over a body of itinerant justices. In fact, he is recorded as acting in that capacity in Hertfordshire later that same year. He was also one of the party to the covenant which assigned to the barons the custody of the city and tower of London. Robert obtained livery of his lands (through payment of a thousand marks fee) and purchased the wardship of the heir of William FitzOates to marry to his own niece.In 1208 Oxford bought a license to marry Isabel Bolebec (c. 1176- Feb. 3, 1245) , daughter and co-heir of Hugh de Bolebec, and sister and heir of Walter de Bolebec, by whom he had the following issue: 1. Hugh de Vere (c. 1210-1263), his successor, 4th Earl of Oxford, 2. Henry de Vere, of Great Addington, co. Northampton, whose son, Robert, was father of Richard de Vere, who married Isabel Greene. Bountiful additions to the family estates were obtained through the marriage of Robert de Vere to the heiress of the Bolebecs, whose ancestor, Hugh, had obtained large estates in Buckinghamshire at the Conquest. It is through this match that the Earls of Oxford later assumed the title of Viscount Bolebec.The third earl died October 25, 1221, and was buried in the Benedictine priory of Hatfield, Broadoak, near Bishop's Stortford in Essex, priory at Hatfield Broadoak (Regis), which had been founded by his grandfather as a cell of St. Melaine at Rennes. In the year of Oxford's death his widow gave a site in the city of Oxford to the Dominicans (the black friars) who had recently come into England. Robert was succeeded by his eldest son, Hugh.In some accounts, Robert de Vere has been credited as the 'primus fundator' [first founder] of the priory. His effigy, shown with crossed legs, remains in the local Hatfield parish church, where it was placed after removal from the old priory church. Curiously, Robert's heraldic arms as seen on his effigy bear a unique difference from other representations of the de Vere arms. On his shield the silver star in the first quarter was displayed, not as by all other Veres upon a red background (a field gules), but upon one of "France ancient." By Robert Brazil	De Vere, Robert 3rd Earl of Oxford (I1449)
726	Robert de Vere, 5th Earl of Oxford; hereditary Master Chamberlain of England; knighted 1264 (by Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester on the eve of the Battle of Lewes); as a supporter of de Montfort's was taken unawares at Kenilworth 1 Aug 1265 and temporarily deprived of the Earldom till the provisions of the Dictum of Kenilworth (which among other things restored it to him) came into force 1266; the Chamberlainship, of which he had also been deprived, was not restored him though he appears to have been permitted to perform its duties at Edward I's coronation 1274; married Alice, daughter and heiress of Gilbert de Sanford, and died by 7 Sep 1296. [Burke's Peerage] Robert de Vere, 5th Earl of Oxford and 6th Great Chamberlain, was a follower of Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, who knighted him on the field of battle in 1264, and summoned him to the parliament of 1265. Just a few days before the battle of Evesham Robert and young Hugh de Montfort were attacked at Kenilworth and taken prisoner. The Battle of Evesham, August 4, 1265, erupted when an alliance of rebellious barons under Simon de Montfort attacked royal forces under Prince Edward, who would later be crowned Edward I. Montfort and the rebels were incensed by poor governance and outrageous spending on foreign wars by Henry III. Montfort's success at the Battle of Lewes had given him de facto control of the government, and he pushed through reforms that led eventually to the parliamentary system of government by representation. The plan, however, came undone by his dissention among the rebel allies, and Prince Edward escaped from captivity to raise the royal flag in Wales. Simon de Montfort intended to join forces with his son Hugh at Kenilworth Castle, near Warwick. But Prince Edward arrived first, arresting Hugh Montfort and Robert de Vere, and surprising Simon on his arrival at Evesham. Legend has it that Montfort, seeing the trap his army was in, said, "Let us commend our souls to God, because our bodies are theirs." Montfort's precarious situation was made worse when his Welsh allies deserted just before battle began, leaving him facing an enemy four times the size of his own. Montfort's men bravely charged against the royal lines, but the Princes troops converged on Montfort's flanks and there was massacre. Even the deserting Welshmen were chased down and slaughtered. Montfort's body was torn apart, and parts were sent to different parts of the kingdom. His torso was stashed at Evesham Abbey, where his tomb later became a popular destination for pilgrims.Henry III was restored to power and the remaining sons of Montfort fled the country. Earl Robert made his peace with the Crown, under the "Dictum de Kenilworth," and shortly thereafter was employed by King Edward I (Longshank) in further battles against the Welsh.Robert's marriage to Alice Saundford (also spelled Saunford or Sanford), the heiress of Gilbert de Sanford, brought to the Vere family the office of Chamberlain to the Queen (a role that Gilbert had exercised in 1236, when the earl's father had similarly acted as chamberlain to the king). Through this marriage, the later Earls of Oxford were able to include, in their list of titles, that of "Lord Sanford."Robert and Alice had, with other issue, the following children: 1. Robert de Vere, his successor, 2. Alphonsus de Vere, married Jane, daughter of Richard Foliot, Knight, and had a son, John de Vere, who succeeded as 7th Earl of Oxford and 8th Great Chamberlain, 3. Hugh de Vere, Baron Vere, 4. Joane Vere, (who married William de Warren), and 5. Lora, married Reginald de Argentein. During the 1290s King Edward I gave the De Veres permission to hold a fair and there has been a yearly carnival in the Vere area of the shire of Essex ever since.Earl Robert died in 1296, and was succeeded by his son, Robert.

727	Robert Garbutt, of the Township of Smith, was born on the old Garbutt homestead, where he still resides, in 1850. He is the youngest son of Isaac Garbutt, sen'r, long and prominently connected with the public affairs of the township and county. He was reared on the farm, and is a farmer. He married in 1871, a daughter of Nathan McIlmoyle, one of the first settlers in the township. He is a Conservative in politics, and in religious persuasion a Baptist, while in all matters which tend to the progress of this highly prosperous agricultural community, he is one of the solid men of the place; and for so young a man, a gentleman whose opinion is much respected.

735	Sam settled on Kincardine Township, Con 1, Lot 55 in 1852. Obtained the Crown Deed to this lot in 1853 and bought Lot 54 from David McKendrick in the same year. He came from Goderich Township at the same time as his brothers George, Frank and John. Samuel was known as "Big Sam". Samuel was noted for his industry and hard work and his family learned this way of life quite young. He was named by a travelling minister, as a "diamond in the rough". When Sam died, his casket was carried by the pall bearers from the house to the Bervie Anglican Church Cemetery, with the mourners following behind. Sam's son Thomas and his wife Sarah Shelton lived at lot 55 for a few years, then sold it to James Arnold and moved to Pinkerton. Sam Colwell set aside the South West corner of Lot 54 for an Anglican Church and Cemetery. The 1861 Census enumerator, John Mosley, reported "Church of England capable of containing 350 persons, value $900." A church shed, originally the old lof school, was located east of the church. One old church record reports that on May 23, 1897, forty-two persons were confirmed in the Bervie church, proving how important the Word of God was in the homes of our forefathers. To the east of where the church shed stood lies the cemetery. Although church records and gravestones reveal many of those at rest, the list will never be complete.

738	Sarah Curran (1782 – 1808-05-05 was the youngest daughter of John Philpot Curran, an eminent Irish lawyer. She lived in the priory in Rathfarnham. She was Robert Emmet's great love. She met Robert through her brother Richard. Richard Curran was a fellow student with Robert Emmet at Trinity College. Sarah's father considered Robert unsuitable, and their courtship was conducted through letters and clandestine meetings. Notable is Robert's letter to Sarah. Robert and Sarah were secretly engaged in 1803. When her father discovered that Sarah was secretly engaged, he treated her so harshly that she had to take refuge with friends in Cork, where she met and married Captain Robert Sturgeon in November 1805. The two had a child who died in infancy. Sarah died of consumption (tuberculosis). Rathfarnham has a pub named after Sarah Curran and the road leading past St. Enda's Park is called Sarah Curran Avenue. Parker Family History records Sarah as the lover of Robert Emmet (1783-1803), Irish Nationalist, who was defended by John Philpot Curran at his trial and later hanged for sedition. Sarah went to live in France, and during her exile Thomas Moore (1779-1852) Irish poet and close friend of Sarah and Emmet, wrote two Ballads which were inspired by their romance: "She is far from the land where her young hero sleeps", and "Oh breathe not his name." While in France she married a Captain Sturgeon, and reputedly died a few months later from a broken heart. - Columbia Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition, 1950, page 492. Thomas Moore (1779-1852) wrote the words to "Oh Breathe not his name". The subject of the tune is the Irish patriot, Robert Emmet. Robert Emmet (1778-1803) helped plan and lead an uprising in Dublin in 1803. Forced to act early because of an explosion at one of the arms depots, the uprising disintegrated into chaos. Wearing a green and white uniform Emmet and a small troop marched on Dublin Castle, killing the Lord Chief Justice on the way. He fled, hoping to escape to America with his fiance Sarah Curran. He was captured and hung. At his trial Emmet requested that no epitaph be written for him until Ireland took her place among the nations of the earth. Another song by Thomas Moore's She Is Far From the Land was also inspired by Emmet. OH, BREATHE NOT HIS NAME Oh, breathe not his name,Let it sleep in the shade,Where cold and unhonored,His relics are laid;Sad, silent and darkBe the tears that we shed,As night dew that weepsOn the grave o'er his head.But the night dew that falls,Tho' in silence it weeps,Shall brighten with vendureThe grave where he sleeps;And the tears that we shed,Tho' in secret it rolls,Shall long keep his memoryGreen in our souls. SHE IS FAR FROM THE LAND She is far from the landWhere her young hero sleeps,And lovers are round her, sighing;But coldly she turns From their gaze, and weeps,For her heart in his grave is lying.She sings the wild songsOf her dear native plains,Ev'ry note which she loved awakening -Ah! little they thinkWho delight in her strains,How the heart of the Minstrelis breaking.He had lived for his love,For his country he died,They were all that to lifeHad entwined him -Nor soon shall the tearsOf his country be dried,Nor long will his loveStay behind him.Oh! make her a graveWhere the sunbeams rest,When they promise a glorious morrow;They'll shine o'er her sleepLike a smile from the West,From her own lovedIsland of sorrow.

(pg 473-474) SAMUEL COLWELL Sam Colwell homesteaded the N.E.1/4 16-16-24, and harvested his first crop in 1910. Nanton was where he bought supplies when he firstr came, and later patronzied Vulcan and Kirlcaldy. The store in Kirlcaldy was first run by Gunder Neirson, followed by MacKenzie and later Frost. Closest neighbors were the Dorch brothers, Bill Ish, Dan Simms, Jack Hill, Severs, Charlie Grant and Joe Myers. Mr. Colwell was a great man to walk, and long years after he had graduated from horse and buggy to automobile he would still walk down to Kirlcaldy nearly every day, with a bucket for drinking water in one hand and a basket for supplies in the other. He walked over to the Rannels and bought an occasiohnal home made loaf of bread in the early days. This was a real treat. He became a very good cook in later years and the children who were here at the time will remember teh Pull-taffy party he gave them prior to leaving for Calgary. Both Sam and his wife, the former Maisie Hodgins, were born in Bruce County, Ontario. They were married at Abernethy, Saskatchewan in 1911. They had one daughter, Kathleen, who reside in Calgary. In the '20s he wrote and published a book of poems. He also had the honor of being the only official male member of the Kirkcaldy Women's Institute, an honor earned by making the coffee for all the meetings held in the hall at Kirkcaldy. His brother, Ben Colwell lived with him for a few years in the late '20s, gaving previously farmed at Rosetown, Saskatchewan. He finally retired at the coast. The Sunset 'Twas evening way back in the home land. Across o'er the hills I could see The gorgeous and beautiful sunset, And my soul it rejoiced within me. The shadows hung long o'er the meadow, The bee ceased its humming I know, 'Twas silent all 'round and about me, In the barn-yard the cock ceased to crow. My heart thrilled and thrilled as I lingered Entranced by the gorgeous array, Oh beauty so big and unchallenged, Oh grandeur, unrivalled to-day.-- The shadows seemed warm, they seemed mellow, They played back and forth at my feet, As hues in the far distant west land Seemed making a gallant retreat.
