Since publication in 1984 of American Ancestors and Cousins of The Princess
of Wales, co-authored by William Addams Reitwiesner and me, the genealogical
community and to a lesser extent the general public has become familiar with at
least some of the myriad kinships between Americans and the British royal
family, especially the young Princes William and Henry. further underscored this
awareness with addenda articles to the above book, and further coverage of the
Virginia ancestry and noted Southern-derived cousins of H. M. Queen Elizabeth
The Queen Mother, in NEXUS 2(1985): 125-27, 159-60, 4(1987):24-28, 8(1991
):28-31. The genealogical community also knows that various colonial immigrants,
descendants of Spanish “gateway ancestor” Sancha de Ayala (d. 1418, daughter of
a mayor of Toledo and wife of an English knight, Sir Walter Blount, d. 1403)
were fourth cousins various times removed of Ferdinand II, King of Aragon (and
V, King of Castle), often called the first king of United Spain, husband of
Queen Isabella of Castle and co-sponsor, with his wife, of Columbus’s “discovery
of America.” See National Genealogical Society Quarterly 51
(1963):235-38, Lindsay L Brook, Studies in Genealogy and Family History in
Tribute to Charles Evans (1989), pp.263-7l (both articles by Milton
Rubincam) and my own charting of Sancha’s presidential descendants (Washington,
the two Harrisons, Cleveland, F. D. Roosevelt, Ford, Bush and possibly Hoover)
in Ancestors of American Presidents, preliminary ed., revised (1989,
henceforth AAP), pp. 294-97.
A third major link between the New World and European royalty, of which the
genealogical community is largely unaware, is particularly appropriate for
publication this year as the 500th anniversary of Columbus’s first voyage
reminds us of Italian, as well as Spanish, contributions to American life. This
surprising connection #5, also an addition of sorts to features in the December
1991 NEXUS on Boston Italian-Americans and the tracing of ancestors in
Italy, is the descent of Italy’s four kings - Victor Emmanuel II, Umberto I,
Victor Emmanuel IIl and Umberto II, who reigned from Italy’s unification
(actually 17 March 1861) until 1946 - from a sister of philanthropist and
soldier James Edward Oglethorpe (1696-1785), the founder of Georgia. As outlined
in detail below, Charles Albert, King of Sardinia 1831-49, father of Victor
Emmanuel II and only a half second cousin twice removed of the preceding king of
Sardinia, was the son of a prince of Carignano whose mother, a princess of
Lorraine-Lambesc, was the daughter of a princess de Rohan-Rochefort of the
French nobility. The mother of this last was Catherine Eléonore Eugenie de
Bethisy, daughter of Oglethorpe’s sister Eleanor (ca. 1684-1775, in 1707) and
her much older husband, the French general Eugene Marie de Bethisy, Marquis de
Mézières (1656-1721). That the king of Sardinia during the revolutions of 1848
was a great-great-great-grandson of Oglethorpe’s sister is startling enough and
certainly one of the most stunning examples of the descent of nineteenth- and
twentieth-century continental figures from Jacobite, Irish, Scottish or “soldier
of fortune” English forebears of the preceding 200 years (Oglethorpe’s mother
was Anglo-Irish and his father, Sir Theophilus Oglethorpe, served James II and
for a while followed him to France). But the consequent genealogical connections
are much wider. Daughters of Victor Emmanuel II married Louis (Luiz) I, King of
Portugal and the Prince Napoleon, head of “the Imperial House of France” (the
Bonapartes); a daughter of Victor Emmanuel III married Boris III, King of the
Bulgarians; Amadeus I, King of Spain 1870-73, a younger son of Victor Emmanuel
II, is a great-great-grandfather of Archduke Lorenz of Austria, husband of
Princess Astrid of Belgium (niece of King Baudouin) and father of three children
now recognized as princes of Belgium and heirs to its throne; and another
princess de Rohan-Rochefort of Oglethorpe descent married a prince Reuss zu
Greiz and was the maternal grandmother of Eleonore, Princess Reuss-Köstriiz,
second wife of Ferdinand II, King of the Bulgarians. Thus kings of Portugal from
1862 to 1910 were also Oglethorpe descendants or the husbands of such
descendants, as were kings of the Bulgarians 1908-18, 1930-46 and heads of the
house of Bonaparte since 1879, and as are three current princes or princesses of
Belgium - the only Oglethorpe descendants now in line to an existing European
crown.
In addition, James Edward Oglethorpe’s paternal grandfather, Sutton
Oglethorpe (b. 1612), was a cousin of numerous seventeenth-century immigrants to
the American colonies and a descendant of Edward I, King of England (d. 1307)
through Suttons, Halls, Wingfields, Goushills, FitzAlans and Bohuns. Examining
these kinships between Oglethorpe and various cousins much as we did connections
between certain immigrants and ancestors of Charles Robert Darwin through the
Foleys (see NEXUS 8:146-50) we can begin by noting that Oglethorpe
forebears Sir William Calverley and Agnes Tempest were possible ancestors
of Elder William Wentworth and Christopher [63] Lawson of Exeter, N H.,
and possible ancestors too of Constant and Thomas Southworth of Mass.; and Sir
William’s parents, Walter Calverley and Elizabeth Markenfield, were ancestors of
Mrs. Elizabeth Bosvile Harlakenden Pelham of Cambridge, Massachusetts, second
wife of Harvard College treasurer Herbert Pelham. Sir John Rodney and Anne
Crofts were great-great-grandparents of William Rodney, sometime of New York
City (whose son, William Rodney of Delaware, was the grandfather of “signer”
Caesar Rodney, Jr.) and ancestors also of Dr. John Strachey (1709-56) of
Virginia. Edith Latimer, later Lady Mordaunt, was a
great-great-great-grandmother by John Greene, her first husband, of Henry
Sampson of the Mayflower, who was thus a half fourth cousin of Susan
(Sutton) Oglethorpe, mother of Sutton and great-grandmother of James Edward and
Eleanor. Among Henry Sampson’s living descendants, I might note, is First Lady
Barbara (Pierce) Bush. The immigrant progeny of Richard Vere and Isabella Greene
includes Acting Governor Jeremiah Clarke of Rhode Island and Henry Isham of
Bermuda Hundred, Virginia, whose daughter, Mary Isham, wile of colonial official
and Tidewater “ur-father” William Randolph of Turkey Island, was a
great-grandmother of Thomas Jefferson.
Francis Hall and Elizabeth Wingfield were great-great-grandparents of Mrs.
Mary Bourchier Whitaker and great-great-great-grandparents of Sir Grey Skipwith,
3rd Bt., and his sister, Mrs. Diana Skipwith Dale, all three immigrants to
Virginia. Sir John Wingfield and Elizabeth FitzLewis were great-grandparents of
Edward Maria Wingfield, adventurer and first president of the Virginia colony,
and ancestors also of Francis Dade of Virginia. Sir Henry Wingfield, brother of
Sir John, was a great-great-great-grandfather of James Claypoole of Philadelphia
(one of whose great-grandsons, John Claypoole, was the third husband of
flagmaker Betsy Ross, born Elizabeth Griscom) and ancestor too of Thomas
Wingfield of Virginia. Elizabeth Wingfield, sister of Sir John and Sir Henry,
married Sir William Brandon and was both the paternal grandmother of Charles
Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk (second husband of Princess Mary Tudor, sister of
Henry VIII) and a great-great-great-grandmother of Dr. Richard Palgrave of
Charlestown, Massachusetts, an ancestor of Presidents F. D. Roosevelt and G. H.
W. Bush. As shown in “The Mowbray Connection,” my life’s work, now a manuscript
in 23 volumes at the Society, the New York Public Library and the Society of
Genealogists in London, American immigrant descendants of Lady Elizabeth
FitzAlan (d. 1425), whose second and third husbands were Thomas Mowbray, 1st
Duke of Norfolk, and Sir Robert Goushill, number well over 100: 60-plus through
daughters by Mowbray, and 40-plus, including some just listed, through daughters
by Goushill.
Outlined below, then, in a format similar to that used for the royal descents
of Charles Robert Darwin and Mrs. Karl Marx - generation by generation, king to
notable figure, with standard abbreviations, no places, dates in years only,
full documentation and notes on descents from italicized ancestors of other
American immigrants is the line from Edward I to James Edward Oglethorpe, and
from Oglethorpe’s sister Eleanor to kings of Italy and Portugal, kings of the
Bulgarians, heads of the house of Bonaparte, and princes of Belgium. For kings
only first names by which they are known (usually translated into English) are
given; for other royal figures all first names are included but names by which
they were known are italicized. For sources, listed thereafter, I am once again
much indebted to the splendid collection of continental works given to NEHGS by
John Hutchinson Cook, and to conversations several years ago with Mr. Cook and
the late John Insley Coddington in Bordentown, New Jersey.
