| 1553 | Judith Taylor was born c1743, and may be a child to Robert TAYLOR who died in 1758 Edgecombe Co., NC., naming a daughter Judith in this will. Members of this TAYLOR family were found in Greene Co., MO., where John W. Lee's family lived according to the 1850 census records. Before they lived in Georgia, it could be that they lived in the area of Bertie and Craven Co., North Carolina. From this URL: http://www.inmind.com/people/dcooper/GoffbookUVW.htm, we find that there was a William Goofe in Orange Co., NC in 1755 and William GOUGH in Bertie, tax lists, for 1762 and 1774. If this William was our William and in Bertie Co., NC in 1762, he could well have been married to a Judith Taylor who was proven to be in Edgecombe Co., NC (border Bertie County). One Judith Gough was named in her father's will of 1758 in Edgecombe Co., NC., and Internet trees for this man, Robert Taylor and his wife, either Mary or Ann Hudson, show that the daughter, Judith Taylor, was born around 1743. However, this is just speculation at this time and not a proven connection. Deed records in Georgia from 1789 to 1795 indicate that William & Judith Gough owned land in Franklin Co., GA., before moving up to Logan Co., KY. On 04 Dec 1802, Wm. & Judith Gough sold 200 acres of land to Jonathan Gough, from land which had been surveyed on Sandy Creek that was granted to Wm. Gaugh Sr on 05 Dec 1796. The Sandy Creek Baptist church in Logan Co., KY was established in 1805. Among the first members were Wm. Gough Sr, Judith Gough, Jonathan Gough, Thomas Lawrence, Abigail Lawrence, Charity Doughety and it is believed that Wm. Gough Sr, Thomas and Abigail (Gough) Lawrence are buried at the original site of the church. | Taylor, Judith (I6711)

With him and his cousin, Sir John Bruce, of Exton (descendant of Bernard Bruce, brother of Robert Bruce), the royal male line of Bruce ended. The line continued to be represented, however, through the Stuart Kings of Scotland, the Earls of Sutherland, the Stewarts of Rossythe, and through (the junior branch) the Haringtons of Exton. | Of Bruce, David II (I7214)

| 1580 | Known as Cinead MacAlpin, King of Scotland. Kenneth I the Hardy (c. 810 858; Kenneth mac Alpin) succeeded his father, Alpin II, to the throne of Dalriada. He soon obtained the Pictish throne in 843 and became the first king to rule the Picts of Pictavia and the Scots of Dalriada. It is possible that intermarriage with the Picts helped secure Kenneth's throne. The joint kingdom was known as Alba from the Gaelic name for the area. He was the first king of the House of Alpin. It is considered unlikely that Kenneth was ever crowned king, he certainly did not get the papal blessing as this did not happen to a Scottish king until David II in 1329. Kenneth's importance in Scottish history lies in the fact that he is traditionally seen as the monarch who became the first king to unite the Picts and Scots. As usual with early history there is more than a touch of myth and legend surrounding him. It is not even true that he united the Picts and Scots for the first time, as several kings had already done so. The significance of Kenneth's reign is that after him the Picts and Scots stayed united. Kenneth has a reputation for having been skilful in politics as well In 841 AD, Kenneth MacAlpin became ruler of Dal Riada, a kingdom in Southwest Scotland where the Irish Scots lived. In 843 AD, MacAlpin invaded Pictland, or Alba. This was well timed, as the Picts had for some time been engaged in fighting the Vikings who were attempting to settle parts of the west and north of Alba. Because the Picts were exhausted the Scots won their battles and MacAlpin became king of the Picts as well. Legend has it that MacAlpin also had a claim to the Pictish throne through his mother. Alba soon became known as Scotia. Scotia was the result of the unification of the Picts and the Scots. Kenneth MacAlpin was always looking for ways to extend Scotia. The Angles (or English) were strong in the south, and also wanted to extend their country by taking Scottish land. Kenneth attacked the Angles six times. He crossed the River Forth (which was the border) into Bemicia, where they burned and looted villages. Kenneth MacAlpin died in 858 AD, and was buried on the island of Iona. He had held his United Scotia together for sixteen years, despite attacks from the Angles in Strathclyde and Vikings in the Northern Isles. Reigned 844 - 859. | Of the Scots, MacAlpin Kenneth I Mac Alpin (I8556)

His name appears in the covenant made between King John and the Barons [the Magna Charta], and as he did not die until 'the 3d of the Calends of December in the yeare after Christ 1218,' -- December 30, 1218, -- and there being no other prominent man of his name, it is very likely that he was the Surety named.
