For those of you who have Facebook accounts, there are new photos taken at the memorial picnic for our brother and cousin, Gale Easton, on the private Jones Gathering Place Facebook group that may interest you. It was a fun way to celebrate his life. Thanks to those who were able to make it.
We’re entering the WayBack machine once again to find our 17th great grandfather, John of Gaunt. He never became king himself, but he is an ancestor to every monarch who came after him, including the current one, Elizabeth II. Our line runs through his daughter, Joan Beaufort, a product of his marriage to Katharine Swynford. She was his mistress whom he later married. The marriage legitimized his four children with her.
Click on the picture below to learn more about him. This memory popped up in my email this morning. R.I.P., Aunt Leona. Click on the photo to link to her obituary.. What an interesting life she led!
