He is Lora Jean Winger Simpson's 24th great grandfather. His two sons (your 23rd great granduncles), Nicholas and Peter,were among the rebelling barons who forced King John of England to sign the Magna Charta in 1215. They forfeited their great estates, which were restored after the agreement was reached. In 1215 Nicholas purchased an estate in Weybridge, Surrey Co., England. He was Lord of Sradbrooke, Suffold Co., and Lord of Shelton in 1257 I went out on the Internet and found the following: Magna Charta, 1215 "In the first place we have granted to God, and by this our present charter confirmed for us and our heirs forever that the English Church shall be free, and shall have her rights entire, and her liberties inviolate:(...) We have also granted to all freemen of our kingdom, for us and our heirs forever, all the underwritten liberties, to be had and held by them and their heirs, of us and our heirs forever." The above is what your two uncles, Nicholas and Peter, fought so hard to obtain.
