5Yeoman, definition of. "
The
term has changed its meaning over time. In the 13th to 15th centuries it was
principally applied to a knight's servants or retainers, though in the royal
household, the minor officials under the Chamberlain were known as the Yeomen of
the King's Chamber, Geoffrey Chaucer was once a yeoman in this sense.
Under the Tudors the use of the term was gradually widened to include the
prosperous working farmers below the rank of the gentry the class formerly known
as franklins. They worked their own land, but did not necessarily have to be
freeholders. Yeomen increasingly held their land by a variety of tenures:
freehold, copyhold* and leasehold.
The term had no legal precision but
was used informally to distinguish a farmer who was more prosperous than the
average husbandman. The wealth that was needed for a farmer to be judged a
yeoman by his neighbours varied from region to region and over time. The term
is, commonly found in the wills and inventories of the early modern period, but
during the 18th and 19th centuries both 'Yeoman' and 'husbandman' were gradually
abandoned in favour of the all embracing 'farmer'.
If the term 'yeoman'
is associated with land, or degree of land ownership, then it may have its
ancient roots in the early Anglo-Saxon rule of England or earlier (thus coming
full circle to its most likely etymological roots). In ancient times the land
was a strong indicator of social status, and wealth, since the period known as
the Dark Ages, and in terms like 'yeoman farmer' used in the 16th Century to
denote prosperous small farmers; whether land was copyhold, freehold, or a
mixture of both.
As land indicated social status, just as the term yeoman
farmer in the 1600's as an identifier of social status for small freeholders or
copyholders of land with and an indicated amount of wealth that is a determining
factor of his social standing. Not all yeomen owned land as many were indentured
or feudal servants in a castle. In earlier Anglo Saxon rule, the class of
'geneatas' would most likely be the classification a 'yeoman' in this period as
an aristocratic peasantry.
The 'yeoman' would be the connection between
royalty and nobility to the peasantry, thus a middling class of sorts in feudal
or manorial service to either the king, or a lord. Also possibly identified
within a class of libri homini (freemen) within Domesday, the 'yeoman' in
service to a king or lord would be known as serviens/sergeants, or
valet/valectus during the Norman period. There are also men known as 'socmen' or
'sokemen', usually derived from Anglian or Danish sources, equivalent in status
as 'radman', thus combining land status and servile status as equals
*Copyhold
Has its origin in medieval England, Copyhold tenure was tenure of land
according to the custom of the manor, the "title deeds" being a copy of the
record of the manor court.
Copyholds were gradually enfranchised (turned
into ordinary holdings of land-either freehold or 999-year leasehold) during the
19th century. Legislation in the 1920s finally extinguished the last of them.

HISTORY OF THE DRAGOONS
Light dragoons have
always been rather special troops. They were first raised in the middle of the
Eighteenth Century for reconnaissance and patrolling - in other words scouting -
but soon acquired a reputation for courage and dash in the charge. Originally,
each regiment of cavalry formed a light troop, but so successful was the idea
that whole regiments were formed. The 15th Light Dragoons were the first ever
(1759), and others quickly followed including the Eighteenth and Nineteenth. The
Thirteenth, raised as heavy dragoons (mounted infantrymen) as early as 1715,
were also converted to the light role.
These light dragoon regiments
fought all over the world in the half-century that followed, notably in India
and North America. They distinguished themselves under the Duke of Wellington in
Spain and Portugal in the Napoleonic wars, and three of them were present at the
battle of Waterloo (1815).(www.army.mod.uk) So Francis was probably injured
during the Battle Of Waterloo 1815.. "

the Church was struck by lightning and caught fire. The damage was so extensive

Bishop to reconsecrate the church.". "

12Coat of Arms - May, German origin
(www.houseofnames.com). "
German Origin.
The Shield: Blue background with
a silver tower.
The Crest: Five ostrich feathers.
The motto: None.
The German surname may first emerged in the Rhineland, and means, simply,
"May." The name was most likely originally borne by someone who was either born
in the month of May or particularly fond of the spring.
Spelling
variations include: May, Mai, Mais, Maye, Mey, de May, du May, Maya and many
more. First found in the Rhineland, where this family was a prominent
contributor to the development of the district from ancient times.". "
English Origin.
Shield: Red with a gold horizontal stripe between eight gold
squares.
Crest: A leopard's head emerging from a crown.
Motto: None.
The May family name dates back to 1066 when the Norman Conquest of England
introduced a plethora of new names and words into Britain. It comes from an
early member of the family who was a person born or baptized in the month of
May. The name May is derived from the Old French word mai, which has cognates in
the other European languages that were all derived from the Latin word Maius.
This name was also a nickname for a person with a particularly sunny disposition
or a person who had an anecdotal connection with the month of May. Often this
connection would be the time that feudal obligations were owed. Nicknames, such
as may, that described the time or season of the birth, baptism or conversion of
the original bearer were frequently adopted in the medieval era. Additionally,
numerous nicknames referred to various religious festivals, medieval name days,
or the particular day of the week when feudal services were fulfilled.
Spelling variations include: May, Mai, Maye and others. First found in
Sussex where they were anciently seated as Lords of the manor of Faunt."
