THE KIMBALL CHART
"A great chart of genealogy, some fifteen by three feet in dimensions,
was finished in 1912 by the junior author ot this book and presented to the senior
author as an aid in his course of university lectures on Genetics. This chart,
far too large for reproduction, gives a fragment of the list of descendants of
Isabel de Vermandois, a Norman lady born about 1070, who died on Feburary 13,
1131, in the reign of King Henry I of England. She married successively to Norman
lords, Robert de Bellomont, Earl of Leicester, and later William de Warrenne,
Earl of Warren and Surrey. Isabell was the daughter of Hugh the Great, Duke
of France and Burgundy, and through six seperate strains descended from Charlemagne,
while her mother, Adelheid de Vermandois, was a lineal descendant of Alfred the
Great. The virtues and charms of this far-off lady concern us very little; so
also the manly qualities of either of the earls, although all three of these
once exalted personages were no doubt ancestors of yours, gentle reader, as well
as of both the present writers. It should also be noted that a very large (althought
indefinable) percentage of British and American families of marked originality
and energy are descended from Isabel.
By the Earl of Leicester, Isabel had two children, Robert and Elizabeth de
Bellomont; by the Earl of Warren, several others, among whom were William, Reginald,
Gundred, and Ada de Warren. (Among the descendants of Ada de Warren and her husband,
Prince Henry of Scotland, was King Robert Bruce). Each of these lines of descent
then passes through a long series of English and Scottish nobility, each allowing
a younger son or daughter or daughter's son to drop from time to time into the
undistinguished ranks of the middle class or even into the commond peasantry,
while a few of the line of Elizabeth de Bellomont, though by no means the most
eminent of their group, were set apart by laws of inheritance as occupants of
royal thrones. Meanwhile, as I have implies, the elder sons, holding lands and
titles, remained in the Cavalier-Troy-Conservative caste, while their disinherited
brothers and sisters became Dissenters, of whom many of the most obstinate or
most enterprising sought freedom or fortune in the New World." Your Family
