Today I posted to Jean-Pierre Paats Williams, and others a redaction of the below (with attachments not on this note):
When I began my wild Hogg chase in Orange County, North Carolina, I was sure I was chasing some form or fashion of the great Welsh Williams (Wales) family (see picture of Lion Rampant coat of arms, attached). But the lion seems to be associated with ancient Judeans, and/or their Syrian sympathizers.
To my surprise, I found that it was not the Willams spoor I was tracking, but the trail of that great English joker Edward de Vere, sometimes known as William Shakespeare. The Deveres are, of course, that mysterious Merovingian “Dragon” family of the Transylvanian Drakula souche, with whom Pates are vaguely and modestly associated in the Blackwood House of Lesmahagow, in Lanarkshire, Scotland, where Scottish Hoggs are famous.
To all those smugly laughing at my naivete’, I can only say, shame on you for so long having fooled an ignorant old man. Now the joke is on you. The joke is still as well hidden as ever before. We only see what we are conditioned to see, but attached are DeVere, Were, Weir, and Plantagenet arms crests, and Hogg means High in old Dutch.
