A writer in a New York publication, pub-lication, having traced the purple ancestry of Colonel Roosevelt, finds that the common ancestry of King George of England and Roosevelt was Robert Bruce, king of Scotland. The royal lineage is as follows: fol-lows: Robert Bruce, King of Scotland, Robert Pmce, King of Scotland. Robert II., King of Scotland. Robert II , King of Scotland. Robert III., King of Scotland. Robert III , King of Scotland, James I., Kins of Scotland. Ellzabetb, m. James, Lord Douglas. James II., King of Scotland James. Lord Douglas of Dalkeith. James III., King of Scotland.

James Stephens Bulloch, of Georgia. Edward VII., King of England. Martha, nx Theodore Roosevelt. NT. George'V.. King of England. Theodore Roosovelt of New York. John Douglas, laird of Tiliwhilly, had much to do with the connecting link, as the ancestor of John Irvine of Savannah, Ga whose daughter was the mother of James Bulloch of Georgia, a familiar name in Roosevelt biography. That Roosevelt, because of this ancestry, was entitled to royal privileges in all the countries of Europe through which he traveled on his return from Africa, is set forth in a ramification of pedigree which shows him descended from kings and emperors of the Germans, Ger-mans, from the sovereign counts of Ringleheim, Oldenberg, Frioul, Bavaria, Schwabia, Altorf, Sundgaw, Worms, Saxony, Bohemia, Luxemburg. Gelders, Limbourg, Zeringen, Rhingaw, and other olden-time olden-time great German houses.. No matter which nation of civilization he honored with a visit he was a relative of it3 most precious fam- J ilies; in France, of the Counts of Anjou, Artois, Valois, Burgundy, Provence, Navarre, Aquitaine, Vermandois, Troyes, Blois, Cham-pagne, Cham-pagne, Chartres, Brie, Tours, etc.; in Sweden,, of the Jarls of Upland, Up-land, Vermeland, Solver, More, etc.; in Denmark, to its ancient kings; in Italy, to the ancient royal house of Naples, to the Doges of Venice, the Orseolo; to the Dukes of Poland, Salicia, Counts of Potenstein, Schweinfurt, Carinthie, Franconia, Olmutz, Pomerania, Zerengen, Westphalia, Walchigise, Pouille, Thoulouse, Spolette, etc. All these have contributed toward the being of our Theodore Roosevelt. Roose-velt. The people of this country little realize how near they came to being ruled by a king when Theodore sat in the White House. |
