Thomas PLANTAGENET Prince of England ("of Brotherton")
Thomas of Brotherton was born 1 June 1300 at the manor house at Brotherton, Yorkshire, while his mother was on her way to Cawood, where her confinement was scheduled to take place.[1] According to Hilton, Margaret was staying at Pontefract Castle and was following a hunt when she went into labour.[2] The chronicler William Rishanger records that during the difficult delivery his mother prayed, as was the custom at the time, to Thomas Becket, and Thomas of Brotherton was thus named after the saint and his place of birth.[3]
Edward I quickly rushed to the queen and the newborn baby and had him presented with two cradles. His brother Edmund was born in the year after that. They were overseen by wet nurses until they were six years old. Like their parents, they learned to play chess and to ride horses. They were visited by nobles and their half-sister Mary of Woodstock, who was a nun. Their mother often accompanied Edward on his campaigns to Scotland, but kept herself well-informed on their well-being.[2]
His father died when he was 7 years old. Thomas's half-brother, Edward, became king of England and Thomas was heir presumptive until his nephew Edward was born in 1312. The Earldom of Cornwall had been intended for Thomas, but Edward instead bestowed it upon his favourite, Piers Gaveston, in 1306. When Thomas was 10 years old, Edward assigned to him and his brother Edmund, the estates of Roger Bigod, 5th Earl of Norfolk who had died without heirs in 1306.
Career[edit]Ruins of the Abbey of Bury St Edmunds where Thomas of Brotherton was buried
In 1312, he was titled "Earl of Norfolk" and on 10 February 1316 he was created Earl Marshal. While his brother was away fighting in Scotland, he was left Keeper of England. He was known for his hot and violent temper. He was one of the many victims of the unchecked greed of the king's new favourite, Hugh Despenser the Younger and his father Hugh Despenser the Elder, who stole some of the young earl's lands. He allied himself with Queen Isabella and Roger Mortimer when they invaded England in 1326, and stood as one of the judges in the trials against both Despensers. When his nephew Edward III reached his majority and took the government into his own hands Thomas became one of his principal advisors. It was in the capacity of Lord Marshal that he commanded the right wing of the English army at the Battle of Halidon Hill on 19 July 1333.
He died about 20 September 1338, and was buried in the choir of the Abbey of Bury St Edmunds.[3][4][5]
He was succeeded by his daughter, Margaret, as Countess of Norfolk.[3] She was later created Duchess of Norfolk for life in 1397.[5]
As a son of Edward I of England, he was entitled to bear the coat of arms of the Kingdom of England, differenced by a label argent of three points.[6]

Obituary: Mrs. Catherine Barningham Mrs. Catherine Barningham, wife of the late James Barningham, died at the family residence in Thompson township, Dec. 24, and was buried in Scales Mound cemetery Sunday Dec. 27. Rev. James Lowery preached the funeral sermon. The deceased was born in Artendale, Yorkshire, England, May 3, 1831, aged 65 years. She came to this country in 1850, and was united in marriage to James Barningham in 1851, at Council Hill. They lived for years on their farm in Thompson township.
Her husband was one of the most prominent men of the town, and was a leading member of the M. E. church, taking an active part in all church work. He passed away a number of years ago, and his wife remained on the farm. Seven children were the fruits of their marriage - Mrs. Mark Wright of Council Hill, Mrs. Wm. Jaggers of Thompson, Mrs. H. O. Malone, Mrs. Wm. Stauss, and Mrs. Enoch Barrett of Apple River, and son Marr, who resides on the farm.
The deceased was converted and united with the M. E. church at Council Hill at the age of 21 years, and has lived up to her belief ever since. She was afflicted with a stroke of paralysis four years ago, from which she never fully recovered. Her last illness was of short duration, and when she could no longer speak the praises of God she pointed toward Heaven, folded her arms peacefully, and fell asleep in Jesus. All the children were at her bedside when she died, except one.

She was born in Yorkshire and was married in Council Hill in August 1851, to James Barningham. After their marriage they settled on a farm in Thompson and by hard work and economy they were very successful from the start. The deceased has been a faithful wife, a true and loving mother. The community will lose much by her demise, as she was a very charitable woman. She was a member of the M. E. church. Her kindness and good deeds will be remembered for years to come. She raised a family of seven children, six of whom are living. She has done everything in the power of a Christian mother to educate her family and has had the pleasure of seeing them all prosper. She received the best of care, nothing was left undone that could comfort her in her sickness, but the time had come when her affectionate family had to bid good-bye to a mother who had devoted an entire life for their sake. Following are the names of her children: Mrs. John Meloy of Normal, Ill.; Mrs. Sarah Jaggers of Thompson; Mrs. Wm. Stauss and Mrs. Barrett of Apple River; and Marv, the only son, who lives on the homestead. The funeral took place Sunday, interment at Scales Mound. Re.
