Following is a review written by Andy Pomeroy this last spring.
I am not sure why it is, but it seems like American genealogists are obsessed with the notion of having royal ancestry. The truth is, a significant number of us are a descendant of royal blood; however, proving so will bring you little more than bragging rights, which you will share with millions of other people. First, whether of a legitimate relationship, or the other type, given enough generations any royal will have millions of descendants. Second, even if you proved a connection, there is no crown, no throne, no glory waiting for you. What does that leave us? Bragging rights, and maybe a few more generations filled in on our pedigree. To be honest, that may be a reward in itself, regardless of the royal nature of that extended pedigree. Yet, we are still captivated by the possibility of our royal ancestry. In full disclosure, I too must admit I think it would be cool to be royal lineage. Just don’t ask me to explain why.
So what does this commentary have to do with anything? Well, because there is a book, Royal Families: Americans of Royal and Noble Ancestry. There is actually an entire series of books; however, for today, we will look at Volume Three. Within this book, you will find the five generations of descendants of Samuel Appleton and his wife Judith Everard, who were descended of William the Conqueror and of Louis IV. Together they came to the American colonies in the 1630s. There are over three thousand descendants in just five generations. The 3,000 would easily measure into the millions today, giving those of European descent a significant chance of tying our own ancestry into this family line.
You may be wondering just how this all works. Let me try and explain further. Samuel Appleton married Judith Everard in the early 1600s. Each was a descendant of royal ancestry. Here are their royal lineage lines:
Samuel Appleton
Mary Issac
Margery Whetehill
Sir Richard Whetehill of Calais
Margaret Worsley
Rose Revor
Angharad Puleston
Lowri ferch Gruffyd Fychan
Guffyd Fychan ap Gruffydd
Elizabeth Lestrange
John Lestrange V
Joan de Somery
Nichole d’Aubigny
Mabel of Chester
Hugh de Kevelioc
Maud of Gloucester
Robert de Caen
Henry I Beauclerc of England, King of England
William I, the Conqueror
In the book, spouses are also listed. One interesting fact is the spouse listed on this line for Henry I is simply “unknown mistress.” Here is Judith’s line:
Judith Everard
John Everard
Thomas Everard
Henry Everard
Mary Cornish
John Cornish
John Cornish
Iodena Hunt
Margaret Pecche
Sir Simon Pecche
Gilbert Pecche
Gilbert Pecche
Hamon Pecche
Alice Fitz Walter
Walter Fitz Robert
Matilda de Saint Liz
Matilda
Judith
Lambert
Matilda de Louvain
Gerberga
Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine
Louis IV “the Simple,” King of the Franks
Somewhere in my genealogy I have a similar list, created by one of my ancestors, also tying me to Henry I. Looks like I could have a few hundred thousand more cousins by way of Samuel and Judith.
Based on these lists, Samuel and Judith can trace their royal ancestry back to at least one king each. Thus, any descendant would also link to these two kings. While there may be other royals along other lines, this book only details these two lines. Still, the book outlines five generations of individuals, descendants, from Samuel and Judith. If you can find a family connection to any of the three plus names inscribed in this book, then you too can claim your own bragging rights to royal ancestry.
To put it another way, “The purpose of the book is to provide a genealogical history with documented sources (using vital records primarily) for the descendants of Samuel and Judith (Everard) Appleton. Where possible, the identity of the parents of each known spouse is also provided, along with relevant biographical, genealogical, and historical details.”
If your lineage connects to this family, then who might some of your more famous cousins be? “Americans linked to Samuel and Judith Appleton will find near or distant cousins among such distinguished individuals as President Franklin Pierce, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, Jr. Other descendants include “signer” William Whipple, Jr., Mrs. John Singleton Copley, James Russell Lowell, Francis Parkman, Jr., Phillips Brooks, Josiah Quincy, Jr., and poet Robert Frost.”
So in the end, why get the book? One, you may discover your own connection to royalty. Second, and in my opinion the more important reason, if you can connect your lineage to anyone in this book then you just opened up a huge addition to your family pedigree.

I am Janette Fay Robinson of Anderson, SC. Since 1980 I’ve searched for a man I believe to be of the Royal bloodline, he used the alias name Richard Donovan, the other two names I have are Charles or Charley and Freddy. I did find a Charles Freddy Rice but no where I search there is nothing. He was in the Navy. Could this be a cover up name for Prince Phillip or his son Charles? my DNA is 98 percent European; Italian and India Indian. I look at Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip I see the same dark circles around the eyes. Who was at port during 1955 around January and February? These powerful people use entertainers as a diversion when in the US. lovemetender1955@gmail.com or 138 Wellington St., Anderson, SC., 29624-4750. Please help 37 year search.
