to the closets of those in power and their predecessors in this book. I will simply try to make interesting possibilities worth further research become apparent. Some of these 'possibilities' will be too far out or weird to appeal to some readers, but heck what can I say? They often were weird for me too. Here is one seldom heard about a character or three that deserve looking into.

SILAS DEANE: - This is a 'fella' who arranged for all the Masonic leaders of Europe to send troops to help the American War for Independence. He worked with Beaumarchais who was a known French monarchist spy (he also wrote the Barber of Seville and other books made into operas) and arms supplier.

I suggest the arms supplier really was Pierre Dupont de Nemours' family. He finalized the armistice between Britain and the US and was the gunpowder supplier to both sides. He came to America to live near the Randolph's of Jefferson and the Hapsburgs who are Holy Roman Emperors. He founded the armaments industries referred to in Eisenhower's exit speech.

"1737-89, political leader and diplomat in the American Revolution, b. Groton, Conn. A lawyer and merchant at Wethersfield, Conn., he was elected (1772) to the state assembly and became a leader in the revolutionary cause. He was (1774-76) a delegate to the Continental Congress, which sent (1776) him as diplomatic agent to France. There Deane worked with Pierre de Beaumarchais in securing commercial and military aid for the colonies, obtaining supplies that were of material help in the Saratoga campaign (1777). He recruited a number of foreign officers, such as the Marquis de Lafayette, Casimir Pulaski, Baron von Steuben, and Johann De Kalb. Late in 1776, Congress sent Benjamin Franklin and Arthur Lee to join Deane. Together they arranged (1778) a commercial and military alliance with France. Deane, however, was soon recalled by Congress and was faced with accusations of profiteering made against him by Lee. Embittered, unable to clear himself, and accused as a traitor after publication of some pessimistic private letters, Deane lived the rest of his life in exile. In 1842 Congress voted $37,000 to his heirs as restitution and characterized Lee's audit of Deane's accounts 'a gross injustice.'

But we must not assume these wars are much more than an Orwellian de-population game in some Hegelian 'play both ends against the middle' gambit that ensures certain parties will finance and arm whoever gives them what they want. For example we have the Hessians who had been the only trained standing army at this juncture fighting on the side of the British monarch who also financed the other side. Those Hessians were working with or for Mayer Amschel Rothschild at the castle of William of Hesse who was a founding funding member of Weishaupt's version of the Illuminati. The Hesse-Battenberg and Hapsburgs or other Royals always had the likes of Rothschilds or De Medicis who they were involved with in secrets beyond the pale of most people's imagination.

The Hapsburgs are Merovingians too and here are some notes about the ancestry of the current heir of the Holy Roman Empire or House of Hapsburg that include the wise Quakers who located in Pennsylvania colony and no doubt kept in touch with their ancestry. Yes, the Hapsburgs were very much a part of the region where Pierre Dupont de Nemours came and founded the American armaments Businesses after he arranged the end of the Revolutionary War.

"The recent marriage of Archduke Karl Thomas of Austria to Baroness Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza and the birth of their son is of some genealogical interest. Archduke Karl Thomas is, after his father (Crown Prince Otto), first in line to inherit the positions of Head of the House of Hapsburg, claimant to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, and principal heir of the Holy Roman Empire.

As is increasingly the case with young titled Europeans, both Archduke Karl Thomas and Baroness Francesca have some American ancestry. Archduke Karl Thomas's American ancestry has already appeared in print [The American Genealogist, vol 29, p. 139], and will not be reprinted here.

The American ancestry of the Thyssen-Bornemisza family has been referred to, obliquely, over the years, but has never, to my knowledge, been fully explored. The following material, taken primarily from the 1914 Harlan genealogy, should not be considered eit
