Show Amanda Barnes Royal Birthr ight - page 2 'Ihe one other line establi shed to Jacob is the Leviti cal line of priest hood line through the Prophe t Jeremia h to Levi. A secortd branch through Azaria h, his brothe r, and on through their father Hikih up to Levi. I have located ancest ral lines which run through both these rren. In all, Arranda' s descen dants can claim kinship through the Royal lines of Englan d, Belgium , France , Spain, Italy, Austri a, Genrany and Russia as well as the Nordic h countr ies of Denmark, SWeden, Noi:way, Greece Troy and other ancien t countr ies borde~ ing upon the ~diter ranean Sea. We can claim lines through Scottis h and Welch kings, in all I have followe d eight separa te lines back. No one can claim nore extens ive star-stuck:led lines than ours. '!hey run from 226 genera tions to 150 in length s. Archib ald F. Bennet t publish ed a full sheet on the Birthr ight of Joseph The Seer, in the Saturda y edition of the Desere t News, Decerroer 10, 1932. I have kept this yellow ing origin al sheet s..riowing three of Joseph 's lines going through his nother , Lucy Mack. Here I find Amarrl.a' s 19th great grandp arents who is the prophe ts ·17th great grandf ather. We follow identic al lines back through Anteno r I (443 AD) Cllief Prince of Israel and King of the Cinmir ains tip through Asia Minor, (Greeks , etc) to Zarah, Ju:iah and on to Adam. Our line is 135 genera tions, the Prophe t's is 133. Two other lines back through Belie, the great, son of Anna, said to be cousin to the Virgin Mary, and daught er of Joseph of Arimat hea running through British royalty --nostl y Welch- -are also ours as well as Joseph 's. 'Ihe article is pricele ss in its explan ations of ancien t scriptu re and their curren t fullfil lrrent. I have made copies of it--it can't be found elsewh ere. "TO MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN" In additio n to these lines, I have proved lines to 14 of the Barons titled Suretie s to the Magna Carta. Eleven of these are direct line ancesto rs of Amanda. Three were son's-i n-law and a grands on-in-l aw of other ten Suretie s. When the Barons forced King John "Lockla rrl" to sign the Bill of Rights for all rren of Britain (or great-( Magna )charte r) which is the founda tion of English and our Arreric an laws, 24 Barons plus the Mayor of London, were author ized to enforce the charte r or see that John kept it. Of these rren only 17 have living descerr lants today. We can claim 13 of these and perhap s when I have tine, I will locate our connec tion to the other three. Four lines of ours I have traced back to Adam. To 'cap it all up,' I discov ered King John mo signro was also a direct ancesto r: I have collect ed the docurre nts of these mmy lines and the page reference in Volmte 8 of the Magna Carta by Johns . Wurtz for those mo want them ·or copies of any of the lines group sheets or Bennet ts article , but I cannot supply copies , get them mailed , etc. However, I am anxiou s to share these for copying with anyone mo will call or write rre and set up a tine to CXJrre.
