Ancestry.com let its members search UK records last weekend for free. I found this page, by my distant cac relative I guess , that has extensive history about that side of my family. Turtle Bunbury - Award-winning travel writer, historian and author based in Ireland
This knight, Sir William Stanley, had a grandson who went to VA as an indentured servant, had slaves, which begat my family.
The knight had apparently been responsible for major Uk military victories. He was given reign over Lismore Castle in Ireland. Meanwhile he conspired with Spain to overthrow Queen Elizabeth several times. Got caught and was banished from the UK.
