Dear Will, Bill, Kay and others,
I found some interesting
things concerning Barbara ( de Swinburne) de Strivelyn on the Rootsweb.com site "
Ancestors of a Modern British Family" by Richard Hodgson who based most of his
information on Sirnet.com. She is said to have been born in 1293 to Sir Adam
de Swinburne died 1318, somettime Sheriff of Northumberland who was married
as his 2nd wife between 1274-1279 Idonea de Graham born abt 1242, daughter of
Sir Henry de Graham,kt. of Dalkeith and his wife a daughter and heiress of Sir
Roger Avenel. Henry was one of the Magnates who swore to make King Alexander
III of the Scots grandaughter Margaret of Norway Queen. The Grahams had been in
the Comyn following since the early thirteenth century and when John Baliol
was deposed by King Edward I of England, Adam invaded Northumberland with
them, burning most of it, including his father John Swinburne`s village of East
Swinburne. He was captured and sent to Berwick Castle as a prisoner by King
Edward I who later pardoned him with the rest of Comyn`s followers.
Sincerely,
James W Cummings
