201 IGI Marriage Family: William Nichols REDMAN / Mary WALLIS (F351)

207 James Whidden was among the first settlers of Truro. He was a Grantee of the township. WHIDDEN, James * (I202482666948)
 
208 James Whidden, b. about 1710 in Canterbury, NH (baptized in 1713 at Greenland, NH). By the mid-1740s he was living in nearby Nottingham, NH. He and his family lived there for about 15 years and then in 1761, at the age of about 48, he decided to move to Nova Scotia. Jane Wile (5) speculates that for the sake of his children he wanted to take advantage of the new lands that were opening up in NS and there was also the fact that one of the agents organizing emigration to NS was Jacob Longfellow, the brother-in-law of his son John. After the expulsion of the Acadians, the British government wanted the vacated lands to be colonized by British protestants and strongly promoted immigration from New England. According to Wile (5), the family traveled to Nova Scotia on a ship belonging to the famous John Hancock of Boston, an American founding father, who was a friend of James. A grandson of James (a son of David) would later be named John Hancock Whidden in his honour.

James and his son David received land grants at Truro, James receiving a full share of 500 acres. His son John (and Jacob Longfellow) settled at Cornwallis. In Truro, James was a farmer and miller (both sawmill and grist mill). As a farmer, he principally grew flax, for the production of linen. James was the founder of the Whidden line of Colchester County, NS.

James married three times. The Miller book had indicated that Mary Lyons [sic] was the mother of his children but this is not the case; Mary Lynds was in fact his third wife. He first married Abigail Sanborn on March 26 1734 in Greenland, NH; she was the mother of his seven children (see following section). She was born October 24, 1715 in Hampton, Rockinham, NH, daughter of Samuel Sanborn and Sarah Philbrick. She died in the late 1750s, possibly in Nottingham, NH, leaving a family of young children. James then married Abigail Tilton before January 30 1759 (date of a legal document in which she delegated to her husband James Whidden of Nottingham the administration of the estate of her late son Jonathan Prescott). She thus must have been previously married to a Prescott. She was born May 20 1706 in Hampton, NH, daughter of Samuel Tilton and Meribah Page. She died before 1774 (date of James's third marriage); it is not clear whether or not she emigrated to NS with her husband in 1761.

227 Margaret de Bohun, Countess of Devon (3 April 1311 - 16 December 1391) was the granddaughter of King Edward I and Eleanor of Castile, and the wife of Hugh Courtenay, 10th Earl of Devon (1303-1377). Her seventeen children included an Archbishop of Canterbury and six knights, of whom two were founder knights of the Order of the Garter. Unlike most women of her day, she received a classical education and was a lifelong scholar and collector of books.

Early life
Lady Margaret de Bohun was born on 3 April 1311 at Caldecote, Northamptonshire, the third daughter and seventh child of Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford, Lord Constable of England by his wife Elizabeth of Rhuddlan, the youngest daughter of King Edward I and Eleanor of Castile. Her paternal grandparents were Humphrey de Bohun, 3rd Earl of Hereford and Maud de Fiennes. She was named after her maternal step-grandmother, Margaret of France, the second queen consort of Edward I.
On 11 August 1325, at the age of fourteen, Lady Margaret married Hugh de Courtenay, the future 10th Earl of Devon, to whom she had been betrothed since 27 September 1314. Her dowry included the manor of Powderham near Exeter. The marriage agreement was formally made on 28 February 1315, when she was not quite four years old. The first earl of Devon promised that upon the marriage he would enfeoff his son and Margaret jointly with 400 marks' worth of land, assessed at its true value, and in a suitable place.

Margaret assumed the title of Countess of Devon on 23 December 1340.
Hugh and Margaret had 17 known children, most of whom reached adulthood. Their descendants include members of the British royal family and former British Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill.

Their family chantry was expanded at Naish Priory in the family's manor of Coker in Somerset, at the end of the 14th century when it was owned by her most notable son, William Courtenay, Archbishop of Canterbury.

Margaret died on 16 December 1391 at the age of eighty. She is buried in Exeter Cathedral.

Marriage and issue
On 11 August 1325, in accordance with a marriage agreement dated 27 September 1314, she married Hugh Courtenay, 10th Earl of Devon (1303-1377), by whom she had eight sons and nine daughters:

Issue:
Sir Hugh Courtenay (1326/7-1348), KG, eldest son and heir, who died shortly before Easter term, 1348, having predeceased his father. He married, before 3 September 1341, Elizabeth de Vere (d. 16 August 1375), daughter of John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford, and Maud de Badlesmere, daughter of Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere, by whom he had an only son, Hugh Courtenay, 3rd Baron Courtenay, (d. without issue 20 February 1374).

Edward Courtenay, 11th Earl of Devon (d. 1419), who married Maud Camoys. The earldom remained in their descendants until their great-grandson, Thomas Courtenay, 14th Earl of Devon, was beheaded at York on 3 April 1461 after the Battle of Towton, dying without issue. All his honours were forfeited by attainder, and the earldom eventually passed, after a brief period of confusion during the Wars of the Roses (for which see Earl of Devon), by a new creation in 1485 to Edward Courtenay, 1st Earl of Devon (d. 1509), the grandson of Sir Hugh Courtenay of Haccombe and Bampton (1358-1425), brother of the 11th Earl.

Cleaveland, E. A Genealogical History of the Noble and Illustrious Family of Courtenay. (1735): pp. 151-153. (author states, "Hugh Courtenay, third Baron of Okehampton and second Earl of Devonshire ... he had by his Countess six sons and five daughters, saith Sir William Dugdale; but Sir Peter Ball, Sir William Pole, and Mr. Westcot do say, he had eight sons and nine daughters.") [It appears that the majority of British antiquaries concurred that Sir Hugh Courtenay, 2nd Earl of Devon and Margaret de Bohun had 17 known children.]
