Ananias Dare (c. 1560 – June 27, 1587, ''legal death'') was the husband of Eleanor White, whom he married at St Bride's Church〔(St Bride's: American Connections )〕 in Fleet Street, City of London. He was the father of Virginia Dare, whose birth on August 18, 1587 was the first recorded to English parents on the continent of North America. Dare was a London tiler and bricklayer.〔Miller (2000), p. 27〕 Very little else is known of Dare other than the birth of his child, but his father-in-law, John White, was appointed Governor during the second attempt to settle Sir Walter Raleigh's Roanoke colony in 1587. White also accompanied the 1585 to 1586 expedition, led by Greenville at sea and Ralph Lane on land. The illustrations White made during his stay at Roanoke were published in 1590 along with Thomas Harriet's "A Brief and True Report." ==English descendants== According to the ''Index to Acts of Administration in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury 1596 – 1608'', Ananias had a son by the name of John who was placed into the custody of a John Nokes of London in April 1594 and "decreed" his son in June 1597. Both John Nokes and a certain Robert Satchfield had originally applied to the Canterbury Court for the guardianship in 1594. This Robert Satchfield may be the same Robert Sackville, 2nd Earl of Dorset. The following is an exact quote from the abbreviated entry: :''Dare, Ananias, St. Bride, Lond. To Jn. Nokes, k., dur. min. of Jn. D., s. (by Decree), (prev. Gnt. Apr 1594, p. 95), Jun 1597, p. 213'' ::Translation ... "''dur. min.''" means: "during minority" and is usually written: "''durante minore aetate''"; and basically concerns the "minor person of", and then the name. "''Aetate''", which means "age", is understood and can, as in this case, subtly refer to a person's estate. Such "double talk" is typical in Latin with things alluded to having an outward meaning as well as an additional "subtle" meaning "reserved" for those of an ominous "inner circle". So that immediately the children of the missing persons from the Colony were placed into respective guardianships, and all of them were eventually declared dead by the Prerogative or other appropriate court. The external link below indicates that Ananias and his wife were married in the same church as that mentioned in the quote above, St Bride's, London, and a carving of Virginia Dare's bust is situated above the font of the church. In Frances Rose-Troup, ''John White, the Patriarch of Dorchester and the Founder of Massachusetts'' (1930), the author mentions John White who appears to be the son of the same above-mentioned John White. There, the author also gives mention of a certain George Dier (1579–1672) and his relationship to the Rev. John White. In Charles Edward Banks, ''The Planters of the Commonwealth'' (1930, 1st edition) there is an important mention of a vessel by the name of ''Mary & John'' that the same above-mentioned Rev. John White sponsored from Plymouth, England to Dorchester on March 20, 1630. On that vessel's ship's list are a mention of a John Drake, close relation of Sir Francis Drake, as well as that of a George Dyer – the same George Dier that is mentioned in Rose-Troup. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ananias Dare」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
