From The Armistead Family: 1635-1910 By Virginia Armistead Garber page 200

This clipping from Times-Dispatch by Mrs. Sallie Nelson Robins, seems to belong right here:

"virginian Descent From Royalty.

"To most of us Americans this has a spurious ring, and the desire for royal descent in the heart of a citizen of the United States seems somewhat of an anacronism. But no stranger is it than the pleasure which a denizen of the region north of Mason and Dixon's line experiences in the fact that he comes from a Southern planter who was also a slaveholder. This is a distinction that even the fiercest abolitionist covets. No one who frequents the Virginia Historical Society and sees the genealogical fanatics can doubt this fact. The 'searcher' may belong to the Grand Army of the Republic or live in Kansas or Ohio—but if he has a Southern forbear he rejoices, and if this forbear held slaves the better pleased is he.

"There are only twelve royal personages from whom the 'people' may derive descent. They are known as 'the twelve royal leakages'; from some of them American citizens come.

"So one child of John, one of Henry III., five of Edward I., four of Edward III., and one of Henry VII. form the twelve 'leakages' of the royal blood.

"It is mostly through a succession of female lines that descent from royalty can be traced.

"Lately there seems to be a revival of interest in the 'Daughters of the Crown,' an American organization, and these notes may be useful to some who aspire to this honor. There are, of course, many attractive features of this society, but perhaps the visible sign of membership—the insignia, or badge—is most compelling. It is so beautiful that one can hardly restrain one's self from addressing the happy owner as 'Your Royal Highness!' or 'Your Grace!'

These non-essentials have their place and power, and make one of the many recreations of life."

For those of the Lawrence Smith line who care to trace back to titled lineage, I give the following:

King Edward Third of England married and had among others, Lionel, Duke of Clarence, whose only daughter, Lady ^PhUlipa Plantagenet, married Edward Mortimer, Earl of March. Their daughter, Lady Elizabeth Mortimer, married Sir Henry Percy (Hotspur). His son, Henry Percy, married Lady Eleanor Neville. Issue: Henry Percy, third Earl of Northumberland, who married Lady Eleanor Poynings; their daughter, Lady Margaret Percy, married Sir William Gascoigne. Their daughter, Lady Elisabeth Gascoigne married Sir George Telboise, a Norman knight, follower of William the Conqueror. Their daughter, Lady Anna Telboise, married Sir Edmund Dymoke,⁎ Master of Schrivelsby Court. His daughter, Frances Dymoke, married, August 20, 1566, Sir Thomas Windebank," Clerk of the Signet to "good Queen Bess." Their daughter, Mildred Windebank, married Robert Reade, Esquire, of Yorkshire. Their son. Honorable George Reade, came to Virginia in 1637, married Elizabeth Martian. ... "

Mrs. Sallie Nelson Robins, the versatile writer, editor of those charming genealogical bits in the Sunday Times-Dispatch, in speaking of descent from royal blood, says: "The burden of such extended obligation fairly takes one's breath away—one seems to elongate like a modern sky rocket and then go out in a 'fiz.'"

In addition to above, the following clipping from TimesDispatch is inserted:

"George Reade, who settled at Yorktown in the seventeenth century, was the son of Robert Reade, of Linkenholt, and Lady Mildred Windebank, and through her his descendants have for a progenitor Louis VII. of France. These descendants are so numerous that to give the surnames only is impossible, but among them are the Washingtons, Nelsons, Pages, Seldens, Marshalls, Taliaferros, etc. Old George Reade is a joke among genealogists.
"He bobs up serene and unperturbed on the majority of the papers of those who aspire to membership in patriotic societies. Charlemagne, Emperor of the West and King of France, is represented in Virginia by the Burwells, Bassetts, Amblers, Colstons, Harrisons, Armisteads, Baylors, Mayos, and these names derive this distinction from Abigail Smith, whose mother was a Bacon. This family dominated in Virginia by the intrepid rebel, has a most interesting line, embracing such fascinating personalities as the Lody Poppa, daughter of Pepin de Senlis, Count Berengarins, of Bayen and Valois. Who would not be proud of such stately cadence, if nothing else. "Pepin de Senlis was grandson of Bernard, King of Lombardy, and he was grandson of Charlemagne of the West. This is no fairy tale, but scientifically demonstrated; chapter and verse can easily be given."

Excerpt from Lewis of Warner Hall

M.E. Sorley - page 37

"The second son of Edward III of England was Lionel Plantagenet, K.G. Duke of Clarence, Earl of Ulster, etc., this son married, when she was but thirteen, Philippa de Burgh, daughter of William, Earl of Ulster. Lionel and Philippa were the parents of Philippa Plantagenet, who in turn married Edmund Mortimer, Earl of March, and had a daughter, Elizabeth Mortimer.

This Elizabeth Mortimer became the wife of the famous "Hotspur"--Sir Henry Percy. Shakespeare has preserved much of the story of the Mortimer's and the Percy's in his histories dealing with the Wars of the Roses. "Hotspur" was one of a long line of those named Sir Henry Percy, but, unlike others of his name, he died before his father and never became Earl of Northumberland. The earldom descended successively to Hotspur's son and grandson, both of whom were likewise named Henry Percy.

Hotspur's grandson had a daughter, Margaret Percy, who married Sir William Gascoigne. Elizabeth Gascoigne, their daughter, married Sir George de Talboys, of Kyme. Anne Talboys, daughter of the last-named couple, married Sir Edward Dymoke of "Scrivelsby", Lincolnshire, and their daughter, Frances, was the grandmother of Col. George Reade. (through her daughter Mildred who was 3rd wife of George Reade)
