Royal Ties pt. 2 - Paternal



On my father's paternal side

My father's 3rd Great-Grandmother, Elizabeth J. Browning, born in 1823, was the daughter of Williamson Browning and Sarah J. Alexander.

Williamson Browning's great grandmother, Anne Williamson, is a descendant of the Clan Fleming in Scotland. Her 4th Great Grandfather being John Earl of Wigtown Fleming, and his wife Lillias Graham. This couple is descended from King John of England to King Henry III of England Plantagenet; King Llywelyn of Wales; King Philip IV of France; King Robert of Scotland Bruce to King James IV of Scotland Stewart.

Lillias Graham just also happens to be a direct descendant of William 3rd Earl of Marischal and Elizabeth Gordon. Thus creating another "cousin connection" to my mother. I've lost count how many that makes.




Sarah Alexander's mother, Unity Murphy, is a descendant of: King Philip IV of France; King Henry I of Spain; King John of England to King Edward III of England Plantagenet. This lineage is through both her Great-Grandfather Sir George Neville,

and through his wife Lady Mary Stafford.
