5. Title: Appendix I of "Ancestors and Descendants of John Price: Immigrant to Virginia: 1610-11"
   Note: Although the book is compiled by Vina Chandler Price, Appendix I was included at the request of Mrs. Margaret Scruggs Carruth, and was researched by Miss Kett and by Mr. H. E. Forrest (after the death of Miss Kett, which took before 1930). Both Miss Kett and Mr. Forrest were reputed to be professional genealogists. Mr Forrest is also referred to as the "Antiquarian Editor" of the Shrewsbury Chronicle I looked H. E. Forrest online and found that he is also the editor of the following books: --"Shrewsbury Burgess Roll", published in 1924 by the Shrewsbury and Shropshire Archaeological and Parish Register Society --"The old Churches of Shrewsbury: Their History, Architecture and Associations", published in 1920 by Shrewsbury, Wilding & Son --"Some Old Shropshire Houses and their Owners: Braggington (with a plate), Dinthill, Whitley, & Play-Y-Court", published in 1915 by Shropshire Archaeological & Natural History Society. Margaret Scruggs Carruth is a charter member of "Daughters of the Barons of Runnemede". She served as Registrar when it was first organized, and is listed as member #22. To be eligible for membership, a person must descend from one or more of the Barons of Runnemede. The Barons forced King John to agree to the Magna Carta, a charter constituting a fundamental guarantee of rights and privileges. Mrs. Scruggs claims eligibility for membership through John Price who supposedly descended from eleven of the Barons. Appendix I provides two different lineages. One is from Robert Fitzwalter (who was one of the Barons of Runnemede) to John Price (born 1584-5), and the titular character of this book. The 2nd is from Elystan Glodrydd app Cyhelin ap Ifor (933-1010) (who was Prince of Ferlllys and founder of the Fourth Royal Tribe of Wales) back to the same John Price.
   Page: On pg. 517 (13th Gen), Elizabeth de Burghersh is identified as the daughter of Bartholmew de Burghersh, the wife of Edward Lord de Spencer, and the mother of Margaret de Spencer.

   Note: Elizabeth Despencer, 3rd Baroness Burghersh (c. 1342 – August 1402) was an English noblewoman born to Bartholomew de Burghersh, 2nd Baron Burghersh and Cicely, de Weyland. Elizabeth de Burghersh Baroness Burghersh Reign 5 April 1369-August 1402 Predecessor Bartholomew Burghersh Successor Richard Despenser, 4th Baron Burghersh Born c. 1342 Died August 1402 Noble family de Burghersh Spouse(s) Edward Despenser, 1st Baron Despenser Issue Margaret le Despencer Elizabeth le Despenser Thomas Despenser, 1st Earl of Gloucester Hugh Despencer Cicely Despencer Anne Despencer Father Bartholomew Burghersh Mother Cicely Weyland Some recently constructed genealogies purport that she was first married, some time after 1347, to Maurice FitzGerald, 4th Earl of Kildare (d. 25 August 1390) and by him had at least four children. Yet it is more consistent with known dates of death of the 4th Earl of Kildare that he married instead Margaret, a daughter of the 1st Baron Burghersh. Otherwise there would be record of Kildare's divorce from Elizabeth and probably a mention in the original records of her 'remarriage' rather than of her 'marriage' to le Despencer. But these 'recently constructed genealogies' appear to be incorrect. It is impossible that Elizabeth, wife of Maurice FitzGerald is the lady who remarried 2ndly Edward le Despencer. The reason is that Maurice died on 25 August 1390, well before Edward le Despencer's marriage. This makes it more certain that le Despencer married Elizabeth, daughter of Bartholomew de Burghersh the younger, 2nd Baron Burghersh. She was married (it is said for the second time) some time before 1373, to Edward le Despencer, 1st Baron le Despencer (c. 24 March 1335-6 – 11 November 1375) and they had six children. Upon the death of her father on 5 April 1369, she inherited the title of Baroness Burghersh. Children By Maurice FitzGerald: Gerald FitzGerald, 5th Earl of Kildare John FitzGerald, "de jure" 6th Earl of Kildare; on his brother's death he failed to take possession of the Earldom, but was the father of Thomas FitzGerald, 7th Earl of Kildare Thomas FitzGerald, High Sheriff of County Limerick Joanne, who married Donal MacCarthy Reagh, 5th Prince of Carbery. By Edward le Despencer: Margaret le Despencer (died 3 November 1415), married Robert de Ferrers, 5th Baron Ferrers of Chartley Elizabeth le Despenser (died 10 April/11 April 1408) married (1) John FitzAlan, 2nd Baron Arundel (2) William la Zouche, 3rd Baron Zouche Thomas le Despencer, 1st Earl of Gloucester (22 September 1373 – 13 January 1400), married Constance of York Hugh Despencer Cicely Despencer Anne Despencer (died 30 October 1426) married (1) Hugh Hastings (2) Thomas de Morley, 4th Baron Morley
