I would be interested in anything you find on the court of James II.  I'm
trying to trace my Stuart roots.  Suposedly my 5th great grandfather is a
bastart son of charles II.  He was granted lands in the Pennsylvania
wilderness by James II.  Charles Ruger was his name. They had a tradition of
naming the men Charles and Isaac.  My greatgrandmother says in her old
journal that his mother was a lady in waiting.
