King of the Franks, Emperor Louis I
Holy Roman Emperor from 814 to 840. Succeeded his father, Charlemagne, 28 Jan. 814 and three years later yielded to the wishes of his sons and gave each of them a share of his dominions, which caused complications he was incapable of managing, and which resulted in the dissolution of the Empire. Called the Pious. He was the son and sole successor of Charlemagne. In 817, Louis made plans for an orderly succession among his sons: Lothair, Louis II (Louis the German), and Pepin of Aquitaine. Later he wanted to include in the succession Charles II (Charles the Bald), his son by a second marriage. Dissatisfied, his older sons rebelled (830, 833)against him and fought among themselves for supremacy as well. Pepin died in 838, and in 843 the empire was divided among the three surviving brothers.
King of the Franks Pepin the Short
Became king of the Franks and continued the Carolingian dynasty. Like his father, grandfather, and great-great-grandfather, Pepin served as mayor of the palace in the Merovingian kingdom in France and Germany. In each case, the mayor was the power behind the throne. In 751, an assembly of the Franks deposed Childeric, the last of the weak Merovingian kings, and proclaimed Pepin king. Pope Stephen II gave his approval when he annointed Pepin and his sons in 754. When the Pope was threatened by the Lombards of northern Italy, Pepin led an army that defeated them (754-55). He ceded to the pope territory than included Ravenna and other cities. This grant, called the Donation of Pepin, laid the foundation for the Papal States. Pepin added Aquitane to his own kingdom, and began many important religious and educational reforms. His son Charlemagne, carried on these reforms.

Hanson 2MJames W. Hanson obituary
"Mr. James W.Hanson, son of Mary Lisle and George Hanson, was born in Hunter, Belmont County, Ohio on Oct. 2, 1849 and passed from this earthly existence at Las Vegas, N. Mex. on Sept. 14, 1939, lacking at the time of his passing but 18 days of attaining the unique age of 90 years. In January 1876, at Chetopa, Kans. he was united in marriage with Sarah Ackridge. His good wife preceded him in death by 24 years. To this union was born five children. Two daughters have gone on before, one at birth, and miss Birdie Hanson at 19 years of age. Three children are left to feel the breaking of the parental tie, Mrs. Mayme Hanson Snyder of Las Vegas, Mrs. L. F. Wright of E1 Paso, Texas, and a son Mr. Wm. W. Hanson also of E1 Paso. These, with 3 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren and a number of other relatives and a host of friends are left to mourn the loss of a loved one. He was one of the original homesteaders in this community, coming here in a covered wagon in 1878. After the construction of the Santa Fe R.R. he was employed a number of years at their Montezuma bath houses. A few years later he moved to a ranch in the vicinity of Las Vegas on the Mora road. His last years have been spent in the homes of his children. It is interesting to note that his ancestry can be traced back to Revolutionary War days. A Brig. Gen., born in Ireland, named Richard Montgomery, was killed in the unsuccessful attack on Quebec, under Gen. Benedict Arnold. A great-grandfather, Capt. Elijah Hanson, also served in the Revolutionary War as commander of the N. Carolina Regiment. Mr. Hanson was one of the best shoemakers of his day, and is known to have made shoes for the notorious "Billy, the Kid."
While he never united with any church, Mr. Hanson always favored such work, himself living an honest and upright life, exemplifying in his life the teachings of our common Lord and Master."In 1890, James Hanson homesteaded 160 acres on the upper Gallinas River near Las Vegas in San Miguel Co., NM. Identified as Aliquot Parts of 43, Sections 6, 7 and 8, Range 14-E. The homestead location appears to have been on the Gallinas River in a beautiful mountain meadow now (2004) known as Terrell Ranch about 20 miles from Las Vegas.
His obituary indicated that his ancestry could be traced back to Revolutionary War Days to Brigadeer General Richard Montgomery. Gen. Montgomery, born in Ireland, was a former British Officer, but became an American General. General Montgomery was the first American General killed in the Revolutionary War while leading the unsuccessful attack on Quebec. Gen. Montgomery apparently had no children of record, so James Hanson may have descended from an illegitimate son of Gen. Montgomery.Death Certificate lists James W. Hanson as a Rancher, and that he had lived in San Miguel County for 50 years.

Mayor of the Palace Pepin of Herstal
Carolingian mayor of the palace, reunited the Frankish realms in the late Merovingian period. A grandson of Pepin the Elder, he succeeded to his position in the kingdom of Austrasia around 680. In 687, he extended the Carolingian rule to the other Frankish kingdoms, Neustria and Burgundy, but retained members of the Merovingian dynasty as figurehead monarchs in all three. Two years later, he extended his control over the Frisians, a pagan people living on the North Sea coast. Pepins death was followed by a civil war and the succession of his illegitimate son Charles Martel.
Pepin's grandfather, Pepin the Elder (580-639), founder of the Carolingian dynasty. A noble of the Frankish kingdom of Austrasia, Pepin the Elder, also known as Pepin of Landen, joined with Arnulf, bishop of Metz, in the struggle to overthrow Brunhild, queen of Austrasia in 613, and subsequently governed the kingdom as mayor of the palace for Brunhild's successor, Clotaire II. Pepin's decendants remained dominant in Austrasia, and in the following century displaced the Merovingians as the royal house of the Franks.
This line has been traced back to Old King Cole (died 170 A.D.) and his ancestor Beli the Great of Britain (died 72 B.C.).Foregoing from "Magna Charta", by John S. Wurts.

Pepin's descendants remained dominant in Austrasia, and in the following century displaced the Merovingians as the royal house of the Franks.
Mayor of the Palace Charles Martel
Illegitimate son of Pepin of Herstal, Carolingian mayor of the palace. When Pepin of Herstal died in 714 Charles was imprisoned by his father's widow, but he escaped in 715 and was proclaimed Mayor of the Palace by the Austrians. Ruled the Merovingian Franks from 719 to 741. He used the title of Mayor of the Palace, but he had the power of a king. In 732, Charles defeated the invading Moslems in a famous battle near Poiters in which the Muslim leader Abd-ar-Rahman, the emir of Spain,was killed. The progress of Islam, which had filled all Christians with alarm, was thus checked for a time. Charles drove the Muslims out of the Rhone Valley in 739 when they again advanced into France as far as Lyon, leaving them nothing of their possessions north of the Pyrenees beyond the Aude River.
For repeatedly attacking the Moslems, Charles later received the title of "Martel". meaning the Hammer. He built an army of mounted men by seizing church estates. He supported Saint Boniface in his conversion of pagans and his reform of the Frankish church.

"Charles Yancey, the immediate ancestor of this family in Lynchburg, came to Virginia about the year 1674 [1] with his wife, who was the granddaughter of Alexander Leighton [2], the famous Scotch Divine, whose persecution was one of the greatest scandals of the reign of Charles I. She was also a niece of Robert Leighton, another famous churchman, who was Bishop of DunBlane and later ArchBishop of Glasgow. Charles Yancey's name appears on the quit Rent Roll in 1704 for land in King William County [3]. The Will of Robert Yancey , his son, is recorded in 1745 on the first page of the first will book in Louisa County Courthouse. Though badly worm- eaten, the name of his wife and of his sons, Charles, Robert, James and Richard can be readily be made out [4].
