[Stanley Family.FTW]
Weemsana1977] has: "The earliest known individual ancestor of the Weems Family was one Malcolm Canmore whose name was saved from obilvion by records which were found by an inquisitive antiquarian in the little Church of The Markish in the Scottish Lowlands across the Firth of Forth from Edinburg in Fifeshire. Records from this church show that Malcolm had a son named Ethelred or Aethelred. Other information indicates that Malcolm rose from the position of a petty king of the Picts or celtic chief to the dignity of Malcolm I, King of Scotland."
King Malcolm III of Scotland, also known as King Malcolm Canmore (c1031-November 13, 1093) and his wife Queen Margaret (c1047-November 16, 1093), who later became St. Margaret, also known as the Pearl of Scotland. They married in 1070 in Scotland and had six children.They lived in the royal palace at Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland and at Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh.King Malcolm was son of King Duncan (who was killed by Macbeth) and Queen Aelflaed of Northumbria.Through his father, King Malcolm was descended from the first kings of Scotland who in turn descended from the kings of Ireland.King Malcolm also was descended from the royal line of the Picts, the indigenous peoples of Scotland.Queen Margaret was daughter of Edward Atheling and Agatha and the granddaughter of King Edmund Ironside and Ealdgyth.Queen Margaret was of royal Saxon heritage and among her ancestors are the early kings of England, including King Alfred the Great.Her lineage also includes royal lines in Scandinavian and Germany, and according to the Icelandic Prose Edda, extends even to Asia Minor, to King Priam of Troy.More information on the lineages of King Malcolm III and Queen Saint Margaret can be found in history books as well as in the royal data bases of the Internet.

!Colonial and Revolutionary Lineages of America (973 D2ah) Vol. 2 Called Ceannmor or Canmore, succeeded to the throne of Scotland by the defeat of Macbeth in 1054. During his reign he carried on almost constant warfare, most of which was successful. He gave support to his brother-in-law, Eadgar Atheling, in fighting William the Conqueror in Northumbria. In 1072 William invaded Scotland and succeeded in a temporary conquest of the country, returning to England after Malcolm did homage. Later, in 1091, Malcolm raided Northern England, in return for which William Rufus invaded Scotland and once more Malcolm did homage. In 1092, when in Gloucester, England, he declined to do homage and returned to Scotland in anger. He invaded Northumberland in 1093, but was ambuscaded near the Castle of Alnwick and slain.
