Jess Browning

This story is about Jess who descended from a long line of ancestors who lived in Europe, Virginia, Kentucky, and Missouri. While there is a lot of speculation about his ancestors, there is also a good deal of disagreement. That is also true in the broader sense. Anyone with an interest in their family's genealogy needs to realize that a single case of infidelity or name change some place along the line can upset the apple cart. This gave Jess's son Jeb, the author of this small tome, the motivation to examine his family's ancestry more closely. He has traveled to the United Kingdom and has done research there as well as sources online. Any genealogy is suspect and has to be examined in the context of time and space. If a suspected ancestor lived at a given time and in a given place based on court and/or parish records one can be fairly certain of the likelihood of a relationship. That isn't to say that it is confirmed nor that the relationship is positive. One can only assume that there may be a relationship.

This compendium of stories is taken from 12 books of the ancestors of the author in America. Most of the stories have dialogue which makes the stories interesting. The stories are based on fact, they are historical fiction which means that when sources are not available the author kind of "ad libs" with words that are in line with the intent of the story. The author hopes that the reader enjoys it because a good time was had putting it all together.

Edmund was thought by some to be Caleb's father rather than an older brother. Edward Franklyn Browning (EFB) wrote a book in 1908 that was titled "Brownings in America" that was a wonderful book explaining the genealogy of both the southern and northern line in America of the Browning family. EFB makes disclaimers that his book did not always have sources to back up what was printed but that he was diligent in his work and when he did not have a source, he used the best estimates available based on good reasoning. Some people jumped on that reasoning and, . based somewhat on a legal Will, claimed that Edmund was not Caleb's brother, who EFB states was born in 1734. Some say that Edmund was really Caleb's father and that Caleb was born later. Edmund was a good father however as the will indicates. He moved from his birthplace in Virginia where he became a prosperous farmer and land owner. He was married earlier in Virginia and moved to North Carolina in the latter part of the Seventeenth Century

The purpose of this book is to tie a lot of loose ends together and focus on England's King Edward the Second who was active in conflicts with France and the beginning of the Hundred Years war in the 14th century. He was incarcerated under Guard of our supposed maternal ancestor John Maltravers. King Edward II was murdered in 1327 while under Maltravers watch. It is an interesting, historical and informative story that was put into a play by William Shakespeare's associate, Christopher Marlowe. The author was introduced to Marlowe in a freshman English class where he did a paper on the playwrite. The play is in the public domain and is included in this story after editing and bringing it up to date with modern words and spelling. Since it was scanned a long time ago, the play was difficult to read and in the editing process, some changes were made but the intent of the story is the same. My wife Vicki and I traveled by surface transport to the western Cotswold's in England in October and November of 2016 to check out some of the places where I had done research on the family.

This book on ontology was written to construct a foundation for ordering what can be known and understood in considering socioeconomic conditions (both real and abstract) over time and space. It provides the setting for elucidating the processes taking place within and between regions. It provides a way of conceptualizing time and space in a regional context and to illuminating socio-economic conditions. Its purpose is not to offer prescriptions about what should be done to correct regional problems, but to offer conceptual ways in which economic theorists and policy practitioners can examine and perhaps better explain the processes that take place within and across regions.

This story has a mystery novel wrapped into it to make it more interesting and informative. The novel begins by describing the characters in Chapter 2. The main character, Henry, is one of those people who has to communicate with people in many organizations. Many of us have had trouble in dealing with an issue with some organization over the telephone. We have to wait as an automated voice tells us what we need to do next in making a call. This is after telling us to push a button on our phone to let them know in what language we want to communicate. Then we may be told to choose from a menu, telling us what button to push. We are then often advised that the wait time is going to be a number of minutes. Sometimes, the computer generated voice tell us that "due to the call volume" we may need to call back at another time. Often they just tell us to leave a message. In the story, Henry seems to understand all this. He knows that his old childhood friend who works for the CIA has become a criminal and possibly a murderer. He was getting drugs, especially the opiate variety, from an orderly who worked in a medical center. Henry's old friend whose name was Frank was repackaging the stolen drugs after diluting them which made some of the drugs very dangerous. The opioids were in greater supply due to the restriction policies of the FDA. Henry had come to Seattle at the request of Frank but, as he learned more about what was going on, he wanted no part of it. Henry found that people, including Frank, had serious character flaws that hindered his investigations .

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prevents Congress from making any law respecting an establishment of religion, prohibiting the free exercise of religion, or abridging the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the right to peaceably assemble, or to petition for a governmental redress of grievances. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights. This book focuses on Freedom of Speech. One justice wrote in the majority opinion that a jacket fell in the category of protected political speech despite the use of an expletive saying one man's vulgarity is another man's lyric. In all cases before the Umited States Supreme Court, the determining factors in a decision deal basically with two tests; 1)balancing test which is based on the 2)clear and present danger test Even in the cases of Libel and Slander the same tests above apply to where actual malice has to be proven. The first test needs to be taken with the second or there is much room for argument. In all the various topical cases the key word is speech taken in the context of the two tests. Basically if the topic is agreed to be speech does the case present a balanced, clear and present danger?

Professor Morgan D. Thomas, was past President of both the Western Regional Science Association in 1961 and the Regional Science Association International in 1975. He was a leader in regional economic development research and education. He was well known for his research and teaching in the field of regional economics. His specialization dealt with the role of innovation and technology in regional economic growth theory. The author of this book referenced Professor Thomas' work in an earlier study, which concentrated on the role of technology, and economic theory in government policy to promote economic development and jobs. Excerpts of Thomas' contribution in the study are presented in this book as they were categorized earlier. The main categories include structural change, unemployment and government policy; conceptualizing structures and processes; theories and employment change; technological change and trajectories; and policy decisions. A conceptual framework that is based on Professor's Thomas' teaching is presented. It was developed by the author to organize and explore linkages between theory and policy. The elements making up the framework include "technological change", "economic theories", "forces influencing change", and "policy decisions". The framework was used to show how structural change as related to technological change can be impacted by policy decisions that may, or may not, come from accurate interpretations of economic theories.

Mordred who is featured in this book is a character in the Arthurian legend, known as a notorious traitor who fought King Arthur at the Battle of Camlann, where he was killed and Arthur was fatally wounded. Tradition varies on his relationship to Arthur, but he is best known as Arthur's illegitimate son resulting from an incestuous relationship with his half-sister Morgan le Fay. King Arthur is a legendary British King who, according to medieval histories and romances, led the defense of Britain against Saxon invaders in the late 5th and early 6th centuries AD. The details of Arthur's story are mainly composed of folklore and literary invention and his historical existence is debated and disputed by modern historians. Le Morte D'Arthur was one of the earliest printed books in England, published by William Caxton in 1485. Most of the later works are derivative of Malory's as is this series of books. According to William Caxton, Sir Thomas Malory's original book titled Le Morte D'Arthur (The Death of Arthur) was finished in the ninth year of Edward IV. It was about King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. This book is an edition based on Caxton's Book XXI, Volume Two which was translated into English from Malory's French in the late 1400s. Claxton's own story of how the book was brought to him and why he printed it may be read in his own preface. From this we learn also that he was not only the printer of the book, but to some extent its editor also, dividing Malory's work into twenty-one books, splitting up the books into chapters. The book has been upgraded with modern words and spelling which make it easier to read. If the reader wants to read all the books in Volume One and/or Volume Two they may be purchased as listed under the title "Times and Death of King Arthur."

Sir Galahad is a knight of King Arthur's Round Table and one of the three achievers of the Holy Grail. At the Round Table, he was assigned the perilous seat or the "Siege Perilous." He is the illegitimate son of Sir Lancelot and Elaine of Corbenic, and is renowned for his gallantry and purity. Emerging quite late in the medieval Arthurian tradition, Sir Galahad first appears in the Lancelot-Grail cycle, and his story is taken up in later works such as the Post-Vulgate Cycle and Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur. The Holy Grail was a vessel used by Christ at the Last Supper. Given to his grand-uncle, Joseph of Arimathea, it was used by him to collect Christ's blood and sweat while Joseph tended him on the Cross. Later, Joseph travelled to Britain with his family and several followers. He settled at Ynys Witrin (Glastonbury), but the Grail was taken to Corbenic where it was housed in a spectacular castle, guarded always by the Grail Kings, descendants of Joseph's daughter, Anna (Enygeus) and her husband, Brons. Centuries later, the location of the Great Castle of Corbenic became forgotten. At the Court of King Arthur, however, it was prophesied that the Grail would one day be rediscovered by a descendant of Joseph: the best knight in the land, the only man capable of sitting in the mysterious Siege Perilous. When such a man arrived in the form of Galahad, the son of Lancelot, along with a miraculous, though brief, vision of the Grail itself, a quest to find this holiest of relics began.

The King James Version of the Bible has been compared to Martin Luther's Bible written about a hundred years earlier in German and was translated from Greek and Hebrew. The King James Bible was based on both Greek and other translations by others. This comparison and that they were both printed on the earlier printing press validates the comparisons. Since it's inception in 1611, the Bible has undergone three revisions with many words added. Luther had published his German translation of the New Testament in 1522, and he and his collaborators completed the translation of the Old Testament in 1534, when the whole Bible was published. Others had translated the Bible into German, but Luther tailored his translation to his own doctrine. He is dealing with the main point of Christian doctrine, namely, that we are justified by faith in Christ without any works of the Law. The King James Version, also known as the King James Bible or simply the Authorized Version is an English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England begun in 1604 and completed in 1611. The books of the King James Version include the 39 books of the Old Testament, an intertestamental section containing 14 books of the Apocrypha (most of which correspond to books in the Vulgate Deuterocanon adhered to by Roman Catholics), and the 27 books of the New Testament. Protestant Bibles in the 16th century included the books of the Apocrypha - generally, following the Luther Bible. This book "Four Centuries of English Bible, 1611-2017" is written in celebration of the Reformation movement in Germany which took place 500 years ago. Martin Luther (1483-1546) was the name associated with the movement. He was an Augustinian monk and university lecturer in Wittenberg when he composed his "95 Theses," which protested the Catholic Pope's sale of reprieves from penance, or indulgences. This book was originally written by F. T. Tagg and was edited from the first edition in 1911 of the book titled "The Ter-century of the Authorized Version of the English Bible, 1611 -1911."

The details of Arthur's story are mainly composed of folklore and literary invention and his historical existence is debated and disputed by modern historians. The development of Arthurian legend and the character of Arthur came to light in Le Morte d'Arthur, Thomas Malory's retelling of the entire legend in a single work in English in the late 15th century. Malory based his book on various previous romance versions, Malory's primary source, in particular was the religious The Noble Tale of the Sangreal in the French Vulgate Cycle's La Queste Del Saint Graal. It appears that Malory attempted to create a comprehensive collection of Arthurian stories with various references to the Sangreal (Holy Grail). According to William Caxton, Sir Thomas Malory's original book titled Le Morte D'Arthur (The Death of Arthur) was finished in the ninth year of Edward IV. It was about King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Caxton, in his editing, created two volumes of 21 books. A knight is usually a large, mighty man that has a huge reputation to live up to. He is granted the title of knighthood by a monarch or other leader for service to the monarch or country, especially in a military capacity. Historically, in Europe, knighthood was conferred upon mounted warriors. During the Medieval era, knighthood was considered to be a class of moderate nobility. The lords trusted the knights, who were skilled in battle on horseback; they needed to be proficient in jousting with a spear and sword. The modern female equivalent in the United Kingdom is Dame although in medieval times it meant noble lady. If the reader wishes to purchase a compendium of all the books in Volumes One and Two they are listed under the title "Life and Death of King Arthur." The intent of Malory and Caxton's work has been retained while making it easier for the reader to follow the story using modern English and updated spelling. This edition retains the chapters of Malory's Book edited and printed by Caxton. This book is XIII, Volume 2.
