THE PETERSON FAMILY by Claiborne T. Smith, Jr.

A study of the Peterson family of southside Virginia appeared in Historical Southern Families, volume 1, by Jonn B. Boddie (195?). TThis will be referred to henceforth as Boddie. 3 Since that timej much new inf ormatioji has become available and sections of the Boddie ai-ticle are now found to be in error. The family descends from John Peterson who died in i67S in the part of Charles City County which became Prince George County after 1702. John Herbert Peterson (1?'^-1330) of "Spring Garaen'' in Prince George County wrote a memoir in 1823 on both the Peterson and Claiborne (his mother's) families. [This will be cited hereafter as Memoir. 1 He was the great-great- grandson of the immigrant John Peterson. He stated from papers then in his possession that it appeared his ancestor came to Virginia in 1660 or 1670 from Great Britain. This memoir edited by Clayton Torrence. was published in the Ulilliam and Ilary O.uarterly, 2nd series, volume 2. Appended as a footnote was niention of the naturalization of John and Christian Peterson in 1670 by the colonial government of Virginia. No further information was given on these individuals, and Torrence did not make any judgment about their connection with John of Charles City. However, the mention was sufficient to lead many to ass'jme that the John, naturalized in 1670, was the same as John of Charles City. There is no reason to doubt .the ancestry in Memoir . and Peterson is a fairly common English surname, one John Peterson being claimed in 1675 as an headright of Thomas Cocke in Henrico County (Nugent 2-165).

Johni Peterson married Elizabeth, the daughter of Col. Henry Soane. See Henry Soane. Progenitor of Thomas Jefferson. Dabney Neff McLean (1985). The will of Henry Soane has been lost, but it may be inferred that he devised a 400 acre tract known as the "sawmill divident" to his two daughters Judith and Elizabeth. The property was located at the falls of Swift Creek in what is now Chesterfield County. John Peterson died early in 1679. On 13 February of that year Abraham Odium and his wife petitioned the Charles City County court, stating that John was recently deceased and, before his death, had said that said Odium should have the care of his children and their estates (Boddie. 158). It would appear that Elizabeth Soane Peterson had died before her husband. This record proves ttie existence of other children besides son John. It seems likely that Elizabeth, the wife of Nathaniel Urvin of Prince George Count.v was a daughter. She was later closely associated with John Peterson in Isle of Wight County. There may have been OT^hers. Burrell and Jeremiah Brown, presumed brothers, were provided for in the 1731 will (Isle of Wight Co. ) of John Peterson. It has been suggested, but without evidence, that they were the sons of

27

y«o another daughter of the first John Peterson.

According; to the Bristol Parish Register Chenceforth BPRl , Nagdaline, the daughter of Israel Peterson, was born 21 Nov. 1740. Israel later appeared in Amelia County, VA.- and eventually in upper South Carolina. There 1.3 no evidence that he was related to the John Peterson family.

JOKNi AND ELIZABETH SCANE PETERSON had issue;

1. Jonni-- Peterson, ca. 1674.-i731

2. Elizabeth^ Peterson, died 1736, married Nathaniel Urvin

John^ Peterson was born by 1674, as he shared in the division of the sawmill divident in Henrico Co. that he had inherited .from his mother. For the first fifty years of his life, he lived at his father's original settlement on Bailey's Creek in Prince George Co. , a little south of th© present city of Hopewell. The 1704 quit rent roil lists him with tracts of 428 and 373 acres in Prince George Co. His probable niarriage to a daughter of Capt. Henry Batte (1646-1700) and a possible second marriage to a widow Brown are discussed in Boddie, p. 158. It may be of significance that the name riartha Peterson appears frequently in the descendants of his daughter Anne Peterson Thweatt [see this magazine, henceforth listed as SSV, vol. 7, p. 24j . Peterson was unmarried when he deeded land in 1723.

Late in 1710, the area between the Nottoway and Meherrin rivers was opened to settlement by the Virginia government (Henings . vol. 4, p. 546). There was a great rush for these lands and John Peterson received his first grant on the Neherrin in 1715 in what was then Isle of Wight Co. (Nugent 3-180). Also in that year, he assisted in the resettling of the Saponi Indians at Fort Christiana some distance west in Brunswick. Co. In 1720 he received a special grant for this service (Nugent 3—225). By grant and purchase he amassed almost 4000 acres in the Meherrin area before his death in 1731. Prince George Co. deeds show that he moved to these new lands late in 1723. On 12 Nov. 1723 h© deeded to John Fitzgerald the Froghole Mill on Bailey's Creek in Prince George Co. with three adjacent tracts-a total of 118 acres. On 24 Jan. 1724 as a resident of Isle of Wight Co. , he deeded to his son Johns Peterson. Jr. 100 acres at the head of Froghole Mill Pond, with an acre across the westerly run. This appears to have been another potential mill site. On 3 Oct. 1726, John Peterson of Isle of Wight sold to William Pride 208 acres in Henrico Co. on the north side of Swift Creek, being the upper half of the sawmill divident (Henrico County. Virginia. Deeds. 1706-1737. B. B. Weisiger, 1985). Peterson's new settlement was on Goose Pond near Dutchman's Meadow in the extreme ©astern portion of the present Greensville Co. , a few miles west of the Meherrin River. This was a section of Isle of Wight Co. that shortly after his death was added to Brunswick Co. and was located about 60 miles from his previous residence

28

in Prince George Co.

Jofin^ Peterson made his ijill on 1 ^*arch 1731. It was recorded on 24 Jari. 1732 in Isle oF Wight Co. Tor-rence included an abstract in Memoir. In addition to his children and a » grandson John Eppes, he mad© small legacies to John Smith and Mat hew Parham and substantial becjuests to Burrell and Jeremiah Brovn. The latter tv)o were listed first in his wiil^ promptins suggestions that they were either nephews or step-sons. Extensive research has failed to locate any clues to establish a relationship. Certain bequests of personal property suggest that they uer-e starting out in life and were probably members of the Peterson household. The homeplace was devised to Burrell Brown who was married to Peterson's Cp'~obable3 neice Mary Urvin. Another hint as to a possible relationship cones in the will of an otherwise unidentified Susannah yallace in 1757. She died testate in Brunswick. Co. mentioning among numerous other legatees - Jeremiah Brown, John Peterson, and Martha, wife of Timothy Thorpe. They were listed together in that order. Burrell Brown was deceased (1750); John and Martha \j&r& the children o.f Batte Peterson, deceased (1751). Their remaining sibling Mary Hicks was dead. This is the only hint among surviving records of a blood connection between the Petersons and Browns.

bR0UB4 EXCURSUS. Burrell Brown married Mary Urvin and will be discussed below. According to Brunswick. Co. order books, Jeremiah Brown obtained permission to build a grist mill on Fountain's Creek in 1755. He was also a carpenter and in 1753 was paid by the county for building a bridge across Fountain's Creek at Peterson's. At Sept. 1759 court, he was discharged form building a bridge over the Meherrin River at Hicks Ford. Jeremiah Brown disappears from the Brunswick Co. records after 1763, probably moving to South Carolina. One of the naxae is a member of High Kill Meeting House on the Santee near Statesboro. He died intestate in 1782 leaving a widow Elizabeth and a son William as administrators. Her identity is not known. From South Carolina deeds he appears to be the father of: Robert; Burrell; Henry; and Mary, wife of James Clark and mother of Isham Clark. One Urvin Brown married Sarah, a daughter of Richard Bradford, and died intestate in Claremont Co. , SC in 1817. He is probably a member of this family. One Jaraes Brown is a witness to many Peterson and Brown family deeds and wills, but no connection with either family has been established.

John5^ Peterson and wife unknown had issue:

1. Johns Peterson — see later.

2. Battes Peterson — see later.

3. Mary3 Peterson — see below.

4. Judiths Peterson married John Thweatt (.SS\/_, vol.7, p. 135)

5. Annes Peterson married James Thweatt (SSV, vol.7, p. 24)

29

6. Tablthaa Peterson married John Eppes. At the time o£ his death he uas living in Charles City Co. where an inventory of his estate was ordere-1 on 1 July 1725 (Charles City Co. Records 1724—31, p.AO). Tabitna did not Ions survive hini as accounts oF both estates were returned by William Eppes, administrator on 2 .Nov. 1726 (Ibid. . pp. 135-138 >. John and Tabitha had only one child, a son John-*- Eppes, born in 1723. At Nov. 1737 court, John Eppes, son and orphan of John and Tabitha chose Benjamin Harrison as his guardian (CharJ.es City Co. Order Book 1735—51, p. 21). At Pipril 1740 court, adjiiinist ration on the estate of John Eppes, deceased was granted to William Cryer, the nearest of kin appearing in court cxrid. relinquishing thair right thereto (Ibid. , p. 125). John Eppes had been devised SOO acres of land and slaves in the will of his grandfather John Peterson. On his death without issue, the bequest reverted by will to his uncles John and Batte Peterson.

SPAIN EXCURSUS- Ilarys Peterson (Johnz, Johr.i ) married Wiliiain Spain, the son of John Spain, trho was listed with 116 acres in the Prince George Co. 1704 quit rent roil. On 17 Aug. 1720 John was granted 287 acres in Prince George Co. on the west side of Whipponock Creek (Nugent 3—224). This land seen^ to have been inherited by Wiliiani Spain. According to the Bristol Parish Vestry Book, he and John Ellington were ordered to procession the land between Whipponock and Namozine creeks on several occasions between 1727 and 1733. This area is in the north central section of what became Dinwiddle Co. in 1754. The Spain family continued to own land on the Wnipponock for the next hundred years. According to the Dinwiddle Co. land tax lists in 1S07, Abraham, the son of John Peterson Spain, owned 143 acres on that creek and, in 1815, Captain Stephen Spain, then living in Tennessee, was taxed on land on the Whipponock, described as being 16 miles north of Dinwiddle Court House.

Mary3 Peterson and William Spain had issue (BPR.):

1. John"*- Spain born 1721.

2. William'* Spain born 1723.

3. Joshua-*- Spain born 1725.

4. Eliza* Spain born 1731.

5. Batte Peterson-*- Spain born 1733.

There were undoubtedly other children who do not appear in the register. A strong possibility is Daniel Spain who was granted 239 acres on 12 June 1761 in Dinwiddle Co. adjoining William Watkins (formerly John Ellington), Thomas Hill, William Spain, and John Nexjman (Dinwiddle Co. Surveyor's Plat Book, 1755-1865).

The descendants of William and Marys (Peterson) Spain are difficult to work out as the early Dinwiddle Co. records have been destroyed. Fifteen Spains appear on the 1782 Dinwiddle Co. land tax lists, but it is uncertain whether all of them are descendants of Mary Peterson. Specifically designated in some of the lists vjere John and Daniel, sons of Batte, and William,

30

son of Jc'tin. Many of the family moved as o groiip to Champaign Co. , OH in 1805, includins a John Peterson Spain.

According to geneailo;i;ists of the Eppes family, four brothers- Isham, John, Jo3hua, Peterson Eppes— were probsbiy tha sons of a William Eppes in Dinwiddle Co. As both the nansss Joshua and Peterson appear in the Sppes family for the first time, it has been suggested that their .mot ho r uas a Spain, possibly a daughter of riary^ Peterson and Wj.lliain Spain. Peterson Eppes died in 1631 leaving a son Daniel Spain Eppes (17S7-1863) further hinting at this posited relationship. In aadition to Daniel, Peterson Eppes had five other chiJdren, including Mary Elizabeth (1786-1623) who ma.rried Patrick. Henry Poythress. The were the parents of Wi'-liaia Peterson Poythress (1810-1863) of Richmond, founder ir. 13b6 of the pharmaceutical company bearing his naine.

Elizabeths Peterson (?Johni ) married Nathaniel Urvin of Prince George Co. He appears in that county in the 170A quit rent roll with l&O acres. Nothing is known of his antecedents. In July 1717, Robert Hicks of Surry and David Crawley, Richard Jones, and Nathaniel Urvin of Prince George 'j>ere licensed to trade with the western Indians (Calendar of State Papers, vol.1, p. 155). On 13 Feb. 1715, Urvin sold to David Crawley two land parcels totalling 108 acres, on which Urvin resided- his wife Elizarieth relinQuishing her dower (Prince George Co. Wills S Deeds, 1713-28, p. S5). There is no further record of Nathaniel Urviii and his date of death is unknown. On 20 Feb. 1723 Elizabeth Urvin of Prince George Co. was granted 420 <icr^iH in isle of Wight Co. on the south side of the Meherrin, adjoining John Peterson and Wiiliara Auidridge, near tha lower end of Goose Pond (Nugent 3-259). It would appear that she joined her prosuraed brother John Peterson in his move south. The Mary Urvin who patented 100 aci-es on the Notto».>ay in 1724 (Ibid. , p. 278) was probably her youngest daughter. Elizabeth Urvin '.s will, dated 1726, was recorded in Brunswick Co. in 1738. She mentioned her three daughters and devised to her son-in-law Robert Hicks all of her land. The will was witnessed by John Peterson, Batte Peterson, and Mathew Parhare. In 1733 she deeded to Hicks the land he was bequeathed in the will, being the same tract she was granted in 17^3.

Eiizabeth2 Peterson and Nathaniel Urvin had issue:

1. Puny3 Urvin married Thomas Wilson of Henrico and Brunswick counties. No record after 1736.

2. Marys Urv5. n married 1) Burrell Brown 2) Col. John WalJ —

see later.

3. Eli.^abetha Urvin married Robert Hicks- see later.

Mary3 Urvin married Burrell Brown, mentioned in the will of John Peterson in 1731. Brown was a surveyor in Brunswick Co. in 1737 and a justice in 1746 (Brunswick Co. order books). He and his wife sold land in Brunswick in 1733. The will of Burrell Brown was dated Jan. 1750 and recorded shortly

31

thereafter. He mentioned his wife Mary, underage son Urvin, and. daughter Betty. There was also a bequest to a Uiiiiara Wood, relationship not stated. Kis wife and friend Nathaniel Kicks were appointed executors, and the witnesses were Batte Peterson, Jeremiah Brown, and Thomas Rives.

Marys Urvin and Burrell Brown had issue;

1. Urvin-*- Brown married Mary-* Thweatt, daughter of John and Judiths Peterson Thweatt. See SSV. Vol. 7^ p. 168.

2. Elisabeth-*- Brown married in Brunswick. Co. on 21 Sept. 1759 John Cooke, John Peterson, surety, and Batt© Peterson, witness. They moved to Fairfield Co., SC. See Southside Virginia Families, John B. Boddie (1355), vol.1, p. 164.

llarys Urvin Brown married secondly Col. John Wail. John Wall died testate in Brunswick Co. in 1761. His will, dated in 1752, mentioned his wife Mary "lately married to Burrell Brown" and son George who was left 1000 acres. The daughter Mary was not mentioned, fixing her birthdate after 1752. Mary Urvin Brown— Ulali died testate in 1763. Her will mentions sons— George Wall and Urvin Brown, daughters- Betty Cooke and Mary Wall, grandson Burrell Cooke.

Mary-^ Urvin and John Uaii and had issue:

3. George'^ Wall seems to have died without issue in 1768, intestate in Brunswick Co.

4.. Mary* Wall seems to have married John Macl.in. He died testate in 177S in Brunswick Co. He had been the executor of her half-brother Urvin Brown in 1776 and of his widow in 1778.

Mary-*(?) Wail and John Maclin had issue:

1. IrwinB^ Maclin died without issue in Greensville Co. in 1797.

2. Edmunds Maclin married Elizabeth Pettway on 27 Dec. 1737 in Greensville Co..

3. Janes Maclin married Richard Stith.

4. Marys Maclin married in Greensville Co. in 1788 John Mason. He d. s. p. in 1733 in Greensville Co. She married secondly in 1795 Ira Ellis,

Elizabeth^ Urvin (Elizabeths Peterson, John*) married Robert Hicks, the son of Robert Hicks- the Indian trader for whom Hick's Ford was named- and his first wife Winifred Evans. The . Brunswick Co. will of Robert Hicks, Jr. was dated in 1736 and recorded in 1737. That of his widow was dated in 17^39 and recorded in 1740. When Elizabeth's estate was divided in 1742, the daughter Winifred had married a Rives.

Issue of Elizabeths Urvin and Robert Hicks:

32

1. Nathaniel* Hicks- of whom later,

2. Winifred^ Hicks married Rives.

3. Martha''- Hiclcs urit raced.

4. Sarah* Hicks unt raced.

5. Nary* Hicks unt raced.

6. Elizabeth* Hicks married Thomas Lanier (1722-1805), according to Mrs. Cai-stairs Bracey's study of the Hicks f ariiiy.

RIVES EXCURSUS. It is probable that the iWinifred above was the first wife of Robert Rives of Prince George Co. whose will was dated in 1772 and recorded in 1774. A copy of the will was found in a Greensville Co. sui*"- thus urvivina the destruction of the Prince George Co. recorU:.; , I'u is published in Relic;ues of the Rives. J. R. Chi Ids (1329), p. 311. The author aissumed that as the wife mentioned in the will was named Elizabeth, she was Elizabeth Hicks, daughter of Robert and Elizabetn. However, as noted above, Elizabeth is said to have married Thomas Lanier. It would thus appear that after the death of Winifred, Rives jiKvrried secondly an Elizabeth, surname unknown.

Issue of Uinifred* Hicks and Robert Rives:

1. Williams Fiives. He had one child: Robert Hickss Rives.

2. Nathaniel^ Rives. He moved to Chester Co. , SC.

3. Urvin^^ Rives. Died without issue.

4. ilarthaB Rives married William Fox and had issue, including Winifreds Fox, who married in Greensville Co.

in 1781. James Robin.3on.

Nathaniel* Hicks, only son of Robert and Elizabeths Urvin riicks, lived in Brunswick County most of his life. However, there is no record of his estate and the date of his death is not known. Ke witnessed the will of his cou.sin Urvin Brown in Brunswick Co. in 1776 and he was dead by 1732. He married first a second cousin, the daughter of Batte Peterson of Brunswick Co. Cdied 1751). Her name is presumed to ha^'e been tiary, as Nathaniel and Mary Hicks sold land in 1749. In the loose estates papers for Brunswick Co. there is an undated receipt for a third of Batte Peterson's personal estate paid to Robert Hicks, son of Nathaniel Kicks, the widow's dower havins been previously deducted. It would appear Mary had died by that time and Robert was her only issue. Nathaniel Hicks may lae the same person who married by 1768 Charity, the daughter of Henry and Fortune (Maget ) Watkins of Surry Co. There is no record of issue by this marriage.

Roberts Hicks, son of Nathaniel, married first Angelina Gooduyn. He had bought land in Bute Co. , NC, and, when he sold this land in 1774, they were living in Craven Co., SC. Angelina Hicks was mentioned as daughter in the will of William Goodwyn, Sr . , dated 1783, and probated in 1784 in Camden District, SC.

33

[Se^a A History or' Richland County. SC. Edwin L. Green (1932)]. William Gooduyn was born in V/irginia. Robert Hicks had one daughter by J^ngelina - Marys Hick-s. He appear.^, to hav^e divorced i-ingelina, whicn was against South Carolina law at the tisje. This may have prorn.pted his r'eturn to Virginia. Robert Kicks married secondly Ilary Greenway, daughter of Dr. James Greenuay, and sister of the wives of his cousins John and Kinchen Peterson. There was one child by this second marriage: Martha Dixon Greenways HicK.s. The v^ill of Robert Hicks, dated 1736, was recorded in 1798 in both Greensville Co. , VA and Richland Co. , SC Hicks Chappel had the management of the South Carolina property. The will mentions his wives Angelina and Mary and his daughters Marys and Martha D. G. s Hicks. The widow Mary Hicks married secondly in 1799 in Greensville Co. Br-axton Robinson. They had one child — Mary G. Jane Robinson who married in 1821 in Greensville Co. to Charles W. Johnston.

Robert Hick's daughter Marys Hicks married in SC Peter Chambiiss and eventually left him. She married secondly John Watson in 1734 in Greensville Co. , VA. There was no issLie by either marriage. There was subsequent litigation over "New Market'', the plantation devised to Mary by her father, when Watson's sister Hepzibah tried to sell it in 1820.

Martha D.G.s Kicks, only issue by the second marriage of Robert Hicks, married in 1808 in Greensville Co. to Richard H. Avery. They had only one child - Mary J. G. ^ Avery. She roarried in Greensville Co. in 1825 to George Smith. Martha D.G. Avery died testate in Greensville Co. in 1828, mentioning the following heirs: daughter Mary J. G. Smith, wife of George; niece Sally Greenway Johnston; nephew Charles williara Johnston; former guardian Capt . Braxton Robinson; sister Mary Jane Johnston; grand-daughter Martha Rebeccas Smith; aunt Martha Peterson; and Richard Henry Avery.

J0HN3 PETERSON (J0HN2. JOHNi ) was born circa 168A and died in November of 1773. He remained in Prince George County in 17^3 when his father ^nd brother Batte moved to Isle of Wight County. He was of age by 1717, when a Prince George Co. deed referred to his father as John Peterson, Sr. According to Memoir, he lived at "Spring Garden" on Bailey's Creek. When the tract was inherited by his grandson John Herbert Peterson by 1797, it contained 817 acres (Prince George Surveyor's Record, 1796—1824, p. 20). The property was originally owned by the Batte family and it is not known when the Petersons acquired it, or whether it was the residence of the first John Peterson (d. 1879). According to a Charles City Order Book, in 1654, William Batte recorded t'nat his brothers Thomas and Henry had an equal interest with him in the plantation in Charles City Co. commonly called "Spring Garden. " In 1702 it fell into the new county of Prince George. Peterson deeds regarding the place in 187^ refer to a half acre reserved as a graveyard (Prince George Co. Deed Book 23, pp. 331, 450). Doubtless many generations of the fairdly lie buried there, but only three tombstones are extant - John

34

Herbert Petsrson (1776-1830), his wifa Mary Herbert Harrison (1766-1833), and Virginia Ann Thweatt (1800-1824), ths first wife of their son John f\. Peterson. The original house, shoun on early maps as being on the old courthouse road, disappeared many years ago.

John3 F'eterson and his first uife Frances, whose identity is unknown, had two children listed in the B. P. R. : Nathaniel-*-, b. 1720 and WiliiairH- b. 1723, both of whom died young. By 1731 John had luarried Martha, the daughter of James and Judith (Soan©) Thweatt. (S.S.V. , VII, # 1-52). It was argued in Boddie, p. 160 that these two marriages might indicate two separate generations but a careful stu-^y of existing records indicate that the same John was involved. Boddie also suggested that Frances, the first wife of John Peterson may have been an Eppes but no supportive evidence has been found. According to Memoir John died in Nov, . 1773. His will, now lost, was referred to in a 1775 Brunsv^^ick deed from his son Thomas to John Sturdivant, Jr. Memoir states John Peterson and Martha Thweatt had three sons and three daughters.

A SOUTHSIDE SOLDIER OF THE REVOLUTION

by John Hale Stutesman

Eduard Moseley was commissioned Captain of Chesterfield County militia in October 1775. (1) He held that rank and responsibility throughout the War for Independence.

In January 1781, traitor Benedict Arnold led a British raid up the James River to loot and burn Richmond. The American militia swarmed like angry wasps. A veteran recalled, "In January 1781 CI] was called into service under Captain Edward Moseley CofD Chesterfield County. " (2) Another old soldier, applying for a pension, noted:

"In the early spring of 1781 CI] was called out in Chesterfield County in the company of Captain Edward Moseley, Lt . John Hall (?Hill), Ensign Robert Wooldridge. CUeT marched to the south east part of Virginia Cwhere] we were pursued by the British Army to Petersburg and fought there. " (3)

A few months later, "in the warm season of 1781 CI] marched with Captain Moseley from Chesterfield County to Williamsburgh to join the main Army. (4) That veteran's memory concerned the gathering of militia to support General Washington and the French Allies in the successful siege of Yorktown in the late summer and fall of 1781.

One other personal account, a memoir written in his old age by Dan Trabue, cheerfully describes how, in March 1781, he was drafted into the Chesterfield County militia company commanded by "My nearest Neighbour, Capt. Edward Mosley, a Wilthy (wealthy) Man. " (5) That narration follows the company to the bitter fight at Petersburg and the retreat through Chesterfield County. Then, in a classic guerrilla warfare, "Captain Mosley, (my) Brother William and my self took several tours on the enemie's lin(es) in the night. " They rode along

41

the James to scout and kill the invaders.

Who was this "Uilthy" Edward Moseley who was a leader of his neighbors during that long war?

He First appears in official records 24 September 1770, when "Edward Moseley" made bond in Cumberland County Court for his marriage to "Hinson Wager Harris, daughter of Benjamin Harris of Manakin Town. " (6) Her father signed a "release" for her marriage, which suggests that she was then under 21 years old. The groom's date of birth is now unknown, but it is very likely that he was at least in his mid— twenties when he was commissioned Captain of his community's armed bands in 1775.

In August 1771, "Edward Mosley of Chesterfield County" received from his father, "Francis Moseley the Elder of the County of Buckingham" 796 acres in Chesterfield County. (7) That land lies in the upper Tomahawk Creek watershed of northwest Chesterfield County, near to the site of modern Midlothian.

In 1776, "daughter Hinson Wager Moseley" was bequeathed cash and slaves by her rich father. (8) In February 1777, "Capt. Edward Moseley of the Parish of Manchester in Chesterfield County", Joined by "Henson Wager Moseley, wife of Edward", sold some land. (9) In 1779, Edith Harris made a bequest to her "sister Henson Wager Moseley", and appointed Edward Moseley to be an executor. (10) Edward and Henson (Harris) Moseley were fortunate, indeed.

The fortune continued after the war, when Francis Moseley died 1782/83. His 988 acres and numerous slaves in Buckingham County came to his son Edward Moseley. (11) Land tax records of that county show (1797) "Colonel Edward Moseley - 988 acres"; but the next year that land was taxed to "Francis" Moseley, a son of Edward.

Edward Moseley remained in Chesterfield County, where his first wife died circa 1795. He then married the "wife Susanna" whom he named in his will. Her maiden name eludes this searcher, as do the date and place of that marriage.

On December 19, 1814, Edward Moseley made his will in Chesterfield County, naming "wife Susanna", son Wm. A. B. Moseley, under 21, son Francis Moseley, to whom he confirmed "my land in Buckingham County, " son Edward H. Moseley, daughters "Pricilla Wager Moseley, Salley Moseley, Virginia Gilpin", and "granddaughter Polly Clarke. " (12) That will was probated January 9, 1815, which places the death of Edward Moseley about Christmas 1814, a sad season for the family.

The widow may have been the "Mrs. Susanna Moseley" who

42

died May 31, 1820 in Manchester, certain.

(13) This is, however, not

A record written in a Bible is preserved at the Virginia State Library: "Children of Henson Wager Harris and Capt. Edward Moseley, Manchester Parish". (14)

To those must be added the two children named in their father's will, Virginia and William A. B. Moseley, who evidently were children of the second marriage.

The parents of Edward Moseley were Francis and Martha (Wat kins) Moseley. The parents of Henson Harris were Benjamin and Priscilla (Wager) Harris. (15)

Some data can be added in regard to the lives of the children of Edward Moseley. The son, Francis, who went to Buckingham County, was buried there under a tombstone inscribed:

'FRANCIS MOSELEY Born 7 June 1774 Died 6 Mar. 1826'

(16)

His sister Elizabeth married John Clarke in 1791 in Chesterfield County and lived in his handsome home, Keswick, in Powhatan County until her death in 1806. (17)

Priscilla Wager Moseley never married. The Bible record quoted above adds the fact of her death in 1857.

Edward Hake Moseley married Mary Temple Murchie in 1828 in Chesterfield County, and died at the famous homestead "Malvern" in Powhatan County in 1850. (18)

Sarah Moseley, born in 17^1, was the "Miss Sarah Moseley" who died in 1822 "at the residence of Mr. A. Gilpin in Manchester (Va)", according to her obituary. (19) Alban Gilpin had married Sarah's half— sister Virginia in 1810 in Chesterfield County. William A. B. Moseley vanishes from my view after he was after he was mentioned in his fathers "s will at the end of 1814.

Deposition of Wood Tucker, taken at the Tavern of James Durell

in the town of Petersburg on 9 Sept. 1812.

He knew Meriah who belonged to Robert Evans who said Robert

Evans gave to his daughter Molley Evans (since Molley Moore)

that the said Meriah was always said to be the daughter of Tab,

who also belonged to the said Robert Evans.

He was acquainted with Joshua Wynne [who gave his deposition in

the cause of the paupers] for upwards of 30 years and always

heard him called a man of strict truth and always had a high

opinion of him, believing him to be a man of profound truth and

honesty.

Deposition of Peter Binford, taken at the house of Batty Harwell

53

on motion 11 Aug. 1810 to be read in evidence in suit in Superior Court of Prince George Co. in suit between Pallace, Bridget, 8c bs. Mary Hill and Tuckers. [This is a copy included in the suit as bearing evidence significant to the case]. He was, a considerable time ago, a neighbour of Joshua Wyn and one day asked Uyn if he thought the plaintiffs would ever get their freedom. His reply was that as sure as you are free, they will if they ever could come to trial. He considered they could not get a trial because the white people had more money than the Indians. The deponent always believed Joshua Wyn to be an honest and upright man. Witnesses: Thomas Atkinson, Edward Wat kins.

Lunenburg Co. 27 September 1813. Molly Moore made oath that Dolley Gwynn a very old lady of state of Kentucky is a very material witness and without her evidence she cannot in safety go to trial.

Deposition of Lucy Evans. Dinwiddle Co. 20 Oct. 1808. She was well acquainted with Tab the mother of Morier and that she always understood form reports that they were of Indian extraction but that of her own knowledge she is entirely ignorant. She heard Thomas Evans, brother to Robert Evans say that if justice was done she [Tab, Morier, and others of the same family] would enjoy their freedom, but he would not swear against himself unless compelled. This evidence is hearsay.

Deposition of Edward Pegram Senr. Dinwiddle Co. 21 Oct. 1808. To be taken for suit in District Court of Petersburg. After Mr. Wynne was sworn he began his testimony and in some short time he appeared to be confused, and at a loss to proceed. He asked the deponent, the eldest magistrate present, if he might withdraw to refresh his memory. He left the room and Isaac Tucker, one of the defendants, observed that Wynne only wanted to counsel one of the defts. [Sam] who acted as agent for the rest. Wynne had not been out but a few minutes when Mr. Tucker observed that he was right in his conjecturing for said Wynne and Sam were in the yard in close conversation. It was observed by this deponent. Shortly afterwards, Wynne returned and proceeded with his testimony; he stopped again after a few minutes and stepped out, conversed with Sam returned and finished his deposition.

Deposition of John Flanders. Dinwiddle Co. 20 Oct. 1808. He went to the house of Joshua Wynn with Selatheal Weeks who was an agent for the paupers that is to say: Sam, Bridgett, and others against Tucker 8, c. The said Weeks produced a copy of his deposition in the suit pending in the District Court of Petersburg. The said Wynn refused to give said Weeks another deposition saying he had done that which was wrong and would do so no more; Weeks observed that the said Wynne ought to so justice to the paupers who were held in slavery. Wynne said if

54

he did as Weeks said it would not be justice as the deposition was nothing but hearsay. This was well known to Edward Pegram that he went out several times and consulted with Sam. Joshua Wynn said that he would not have given the deposition had it not been for the difference between him and the Richard Hill who held some of the same family of negroes as the Tuckers & c. Wynn said he was sorry he ever gave the deposition for he had done wrong and the knew nothing of his own knowledge. The deponent formerly lived a near neighbour to the said Wynn and transacted most of his business fOT 4 or 5 years before his death. It was the greatest grievance to the said Joshua Wynne that he had given the deposition and he nothing of his own knowledge — this Wynne stated on his death bed.

Deposition of Mary Herring taken 12 Nov. 1808 by Joseph Yarbrough and Jesse Hamlett. She was well acquainted with the family of Robert Evans^ father of Molly Moore Cthe present def t . D She knew a negro girl in the family named Mariah or Murrier which she believes to be the same person as the plaintiff. She also knew a negro woman owned by said Robert Evans named Tabb, who was called the mother of said Mariah or Murrier. The said Tabb lived and died the slave of Robert Evans.

Examination of William Evans taken 5 March 1814 at house of John Terry in District of Edgefield in South Carolina.

Did you know a negro woman named Murrier given by Robert Evans

to his daughter Molly Evans, since Moore [the deft.]?

I' knew a negro girl in possession of Robert Evans named Murrier and that he had no other by that name.

Did you know Tab the mother of said Murrier?

I knew Tabb said to be the mother of said Murrier about 45 of 50 years ago; she then appeared to be about 50 or 60 years of age and lived and died a slave.

Did you know the mother of said Tabb?

I did not. I have often heard that Tabb ' s mother was named Murrier, and that Murrier 's mother was named Bess an African slave, who had an Indian fellow named Jack for her husband, who was the father of said Murrier.

Did you know Trading John Evans?

Trading John Evans was my grandfather and from his papers and books of accounts I now have in my possession and have here produced, he died about one hundred and two years ago.

Whose property did you generally understand said Bess was? I have always understood Bess was the property of my grandfather John Evans until his death at which time she became the property of my uncle John Evans, and died his property at his Nottoway plantation.

Deposition of George Pegram.

In the last week of August or first week of September 1789

55

Edward Pegram, Joseph Turner, and the deponent met at the Tavern of William Scott called the Court house for the purpose of taking the deposition of Joshua Wyne (alias Joe) and Sarah liiles in a suit pending and undetermined in the District Court of Petersburg between Will, James, & others paupers and pltfs. against Isaac Tucker, commonly called Goose Pond. Isaac Tucker and his counsel David Robertson were present. Three questions were put to said Joshua Wyn - 2 by this deponent and 1 by David Robertson which Uynn said he could not answer till he had some little time to consider. At the first question he retired to the chimney and returned and answered. At the second question he walked across the room and returned and answered the question. At the third he walked across the room to a window and as Isaac Tucker observed talked with Sam who was standing near the window. He then returned and answered the question. The questions were relating to the names and then owners of the younger branches of the paupers. Shortly afterwards notice was given by Daivd Lewis to said Isaac Tucker that the deposition of Mary Wyn would be taken at her own house in Pittsylvania County some time in the month of March following. This deponent was at the house of Thomas Worsham in Pittsylvania County agreeable to the notice where the said Mary Wyn lived or called her home. The said Mary Wyn refused to give her deposition saying she had given it once, unless this deponent would bring her an attested copy of her former deposition. The deponent observed to said Mary Wyn that he had been at a great deal of trouble in preparing to take her deposition and wondered why she refused to give it especially as her brother Joshua Wyn came voluntarily and had given his at Dinwiddle Court house, she made answer that she had understood a few weeks before by Littleberry or Colson Tucker sons of the said Isaac that her brother had given in his deposition and that she should be glad to see it or hear it read. The deponent informed her that he had it in his pocket and that she might read it if she pleased. She then requested the deponent to read it to her which he did. He asked her if it were right. She said it was all true as far as it went. The deponent said he would not have gone to the trouble to come this far if he had not thought she knew more about the matter than her brother. She answered that she was several years older than her brother and certainly did know more of the business than her brother, but she still pointedly refused to give her deposition. She said that one thing in her brother's deposition did surprise her - he mentioned some circumstances in it although strictly true, she supposed him too young to remember them. Several days after this deponent came home from Pittsylvania, Joshua Wynne came to his house to enquire after his sister's health and asked if she had given her deposition. The deponent stated that she had refused, at which Joshua Wynne stated that he was sorry that he had given his deposition. The deponent stated that he had not yet turned it in and that he might make any necessary corrections. Wynne stated that everything was true, but that his neighbours who owned the

56

paupers all looked strange at him. The deponent says he uas acquainted with said Joshua Wynne for over 20 years and he believed him to be honest and upright.

Deposition of Tabitha Bott, aged about 67 years. She lived a near neighbour to Robert Evans from her childhood until his death. She knew a woman in his possession named Tabb who was called an Indian, who had long black hair and was of a reddish complexion - not resumbling that of a common mulatto. Tabb was always called the mother of Mareer who was also in said Evans' possession. Said Mareer and her two children namely Douglas and Tyler were in the possession of Molly Moore [then Evans] when she moved away. Some time after the death of said Robert Evans one of the daughters of Tabb and sister of said Mareer by the name of Bridget fell to John Tucker by marriage since which time she has obtained her freedom in the Superior Court of Prince George County.

I am about the same age as Joshua Wynne the son of Joseph Wynne and knew nothing of her myself. I have frequently heard that Tabb's mother was named Murrier, the daughter of an African slave named Bess who it is said had an Indian fellow named Jack for her husband and who was the father of Murrier.

Question 1. I knew a negro girl in the possesion of Robert

Evans named Murrier and that he had no other by that name.

The said woman was generally called an Indian. The deponent knew the said woman Bess and that she spoke plain English when Re first knew her, but he heard her sign in an unknown language — Bess called it Indian and said they were psalms. Bess called the girl Maria, the property of Capt. John Evans, her daughter and the said John Evans was always understood to be an Indian trader. The deponent said that the descendants of Maria were Moll, the property of William Jones, Jenny, the property of Thomas Evans, and Tabb, the property of Robert Evans.

From her complexion and hair (being long, coarse, straight and black) he believes her to have been an Indian. Was she called a slave belonging to the Jones' family?

I do not know but I believe she lived in the family as

such. Have you frequently seen Indians in your early life?

I have seen many. Do you think it easy to distinguish an Indian from a white person, a negro, or a common mollato?

I do. Did you know any of Molley's children or persons called and reputed as such; and what were their names and to whom did they

60

belong"?

There were four persons who lived at the same place with her — which form their complexion I did suppose to be her children the names of which were: Tom, Will, Phib, and Gib.

Did you ever understand that Robert Hicks and John Evans were

Indian Traders?

I have heard it said they were.

Did you know a man by the name of Joshua Wynne who lived near

the before mentioned Mill?

I have frequently seen and was for many years acquainted with a man called Joe Wynne, who lived very near the said mill and which I believe to be the one alluded to.

Did you consider the said Wynne to be a man of truth and

honesty?

I do and never heard any person say to the contrary.

form the Prince George Superior Court saying that the plaintiff

Maria is a sister of Bridget by the same mother. Defendants

objected, but overruled.

After the death of Robert Evans, Mareer and her 2 children — Douglas and Tyler— were possessed by Molly Moore (then Evans), Sam and Bridget by Robert Evans Jr. , Amey by Patsey Evans, Jemmy and Phebe by Batt Evans and Rachel by Betty Evans. After the death of Robert Evans, Jr. said Bridget fell to John Tucker my marriage, since which time Bridget has obtained her freedom in the Superior Court of Prince George County.

Deposition of B. J. Hill taken in Dinwiddle Co. on 20 Feb. 1809. Sometime in the year 1795 or 6, he was at the house of Joshua Wynn Sr. when Salathael Weeks and Frederick Bonner came to take the deposition of said Wynn in a suit then pending in the District Court of Petersburg between Pallas & others v. Mary Hill extx. of Richard Hill, deed. They produced a copy of the deposition taken some time previously in the suit of Tab 8 others v. Tucker, in which Pallas, etc. were named although no suit was then instituted against Richard Hill who then held them. They merely wished him to confirm his previous statement. He replied that he had no wish to injure his neighbours. They then observed to him that he appeared to be very near the grave and that it was his duty to do justice to an oppressed people held unjustly in slavery. Wynn said that were he to do what

61

they wished he would not do justice. Wynn was at that time confined to his bed and desired Weeks and Bonner to depart and let him die in peace.

Deposition of Elizabeth Miles taken in Dinwiddle Co. on 23 Feb. 1809.

Some 20 odd years ago^, I was well acquainted with Sarah Miles a witness in the above suit and whose deposition was taken and filed in the District office of Petersburg. At that time she was subject to fits and of course her intellect considerably impared, having frequently heard the said Sarah Miles talk in a manner which perfectly convinced me she was not competent of giving testimony correctly. She has frequently heard said Sarah Miles say that she regreted extremely having given her deposition, frequently appearing in a violent passion in consequence of the same, stating that she knew nothing of the subject.

Deposition of Susannah Miles taken at her house in Dinwiddle Co. on 23 Feb. 1809.

She heard Sarah Miles, a witness whose deposition was filed in the office of the District Court in Petersburg, say that she would never have given her deposition had not she been compelled by her son James Miles who had received $100 in consequence fo the said Sarah Miles giving her deposition. She knew nothing of the matter.

Deposition of George K. Watts taken in Dinwiddle Co. on 20 Feb. 1809.

In the year 1801 or 1802 he went with Richard Jones a constable for Dinwiddle Co. to the house of Lucy Evans to search for sundry stolen goods. After searching two pieces of nankeen were found under her bed. Upstairs nine additional pieces of nankeen were found in a trunk. Previous to the search Evans had said there was not a piece of nankeen to be found in the house and had been none for a year. The daponent saith that Lucy Evans bears a most infamous character generally in her neighbourhood, having understood that she has a mulatto child, and this deponent hath heard her said Lucy Evans call him her son. [This deposition was not read as evidence at the trial at Apr. 1814].

Deposition of Richard Jones taken in Dinwiddle Co. on 20 Feb. 1809.

In 1801 or 1802 Samuel T. Kirbey a magistrate for Dinwiddle Co. issued a warrant to search the house of Lucy Evans for sundry stolen goods. The deponent acted as constable. He went to her house, told her he had a search warrant to look for stolen property. She denied there was any in her house and he could search her house. He said the greater part was nankeen, she stated that there had been none in her house in 12 months. He searched her house and found 2 pieces under her bed. He went

62

upstairs and found a locked chest. She did not wish to open it, but finally did so, where he found 8 pieces of nankeen. This deponent says that said Lucy Evans has been brought before a magistrate several times for her bad conduct and also has a mulatto child and knows her to be under as infamous a character as any person or more so than any person in Dinwiddle Co. and her oath would not have any weight where she is known.

Bond of Molly Moore for $20000 dated 22 April 1811 with Samuel Booker and Pearce Basbeech securities.

Assault 8 against Battery S

False Imprisonment John Tucker

This day the parties and their attornies came also a jury to wit: Gabriel Grantham, Bartho. Rollings, Saml. L. Raines, Joseph Mason, Grief Grammar, Danl. Stringer, Robert Stewart, Benjamin Harrison, H. P. Heath, Rob. Simmons, Robt . Titmarsh, Collin Alfriend. They returned a special verdict in these words "we the jury find that the plaintiffs are lineally descended in the maternal line from a native American Indian, named Bess, who was of the Appalachian tribe of Indians, and that the said American Indian named Bess was somewhat prior to the year 1705 brought to that part of the then colony of Virginia which was settled and occupied by the white people, by one Robert Hicks, and kept as a slave by the said Ro. Hicks and those claiming under him until the time of her death, as her descendants from the times of their births respectively have been, until the present time.

If therefore the law be for the Plaintiffs; we find for the Plaintiffs, that they are free persons 8 not slaves 8 do assess their damages to one cent. If the law be for the defendants, we find for the defendants.

And the matters of law arising, thereupon being considered by the court it seems to the Court that the law is for the Plaintiffs. Thereupon it is considered by the court that the Plaintiffs recover their freedom and one cent damages assessed by the jury, and their costs by them about their suit in this behalf expended and the said defendants &c. * * * * * * *

[Summary]. The circumstances existing in this case agreeable to

63

the best information I can obtain are as follows — it will probably be proved by one or two old persons that the statement made by said Maria is so far correct that they knew her grandmother who was an Indian woman. I believe it will be proven that the present holder of the applicants acknowledges the facts as stated by them in their petition that the neighbours generally have said they might get their freedom if they sue for it, there is depositions as I have been informed of persons who are dead by which the same facts may be proven, some of the applicants have somewhat the appearance of Indians and I am of opinion that upon the foregoing statement the applicants are entitled to their freedom.

THE PETERSON FAMILY

by Claiborne T. Smith

(Continued from Vol. VIII no.l, p. 40)

Batte3 Peterson (John^, John* ) c. 1695— 1751, does not appear in the extant records of Prince George County which cover the years 1713—1728 and may have settled on the Meherrin River soon after his father first acquired land there in 1715. A prominent man in early Brunswick Co. , Batte was a vestryman of St. Andrew's Parish in 1735 and a captain of militia. The name of

74

his first uiFe, the mother of his children is not known. It has been suggested, without evidence, that she was Temperance Gale, daughter of Simon, who sold Peterson 920 acres in Brunswick Co. in 1733 [patented in 1726 by Nathaniel Bradford]. It is probable that a misinterpretation of the deed of lease and release prompted an early researcher to infer a connection that did not exist. Peterson married secondly, probably early in 1749, Frances Hicks, the widow of Richard Ransome, whose will was probated in Oct. 1748. Peterson died early in 1751 and his widow married thirdly on 25 Sept. 1751 Seymour Powell. She was still living in 1763 when her stepson John Peterson made his will, but was dead by 1780 when Powell died testate without issue in Greensville Co. None of the Petersons were mentioned in the will, but James Ransome of Warren Co. , NC, a son of Frances by her first husband, was a major heir.

Batte Peterson died intestate in 1751. His estate account was not recorded until 20 July, 1758 (Brunswick W. B. 3-257). Notation was made that the widow Frances had married Seymour Powell and after her dower was set off, a third of the estate had been given to John Peterson. This implies that Peterson left three children. In the loose estate papers in Brunswick Co. , Nathaniel Hicks received a share of Batte 's estate in behalf of his son Robert Hicks. As discussed earlier in this article Nathaniel Hicks' wife, daughter of Batte Peterson, is presumed to have been Mary, and she had died before the division of her father's estate was made. Unfortunately, there is no receipt for the third heir but she is generally assumed to have been Martha, wife of Timothy Thorp of Southampton Co. Boddie. p. 162 is in error as listing a daughter named Christian. No reference is given for this statement. Issue of Battes Peterson and his first wife, name unknown:

1. Martha-* Peterson — born 1716 — probable of whom later.

2. John-* Peterson — of whom later.

3. daughter, probably Mary* Peterson, m. Nathaniel Hicks.

Martha-* Peterson (Battes, Johnz , Johni ) , the wife of Timothy Thorp of Southampton is generally accepted as the daughter of Batte although absolute proof is lacking. Suggestive evidence is the deed discussed below, the use of Peterson as a given name for the Thorp's oldest son, and the listing of John Peterson and Martha, the wife of Timothy Thorp together in the 1757 Brunswick Co. will of Susannah Wallace discussed earlier.

On 8 Oct. 1739 John Peterson of Prince George County deeded to Timothy Thorp of Isle of Wight for 10 shillings two tracts of land in that county on the north side of the Meherrin River; one of 200 acres bounded by William Batte and the other of 220 acres bounded by Peterson's other land. Witnesses to the deed were

75

John Peterson Jr. and Batte Peterson. The token fee may be significant but is not proof. These tracts were patented by Johni Peterson but not specifically devised in his will. His sons John2 and Battel were residual legatees and sole executors of John's 1731 will. It was probable that the deed from John Peterson of Prince George to the probable son— in— law of his brother Batte was part of the final settlement of their father's estate. The land in question fell in Southampton Co., when it was formed from Isle of Wight in 1749. Timothy Thorp died in 1763. On 14 Aug. 1766 John Peterson of Brunswick County, a witness to the 1739 deed, conveyed the same land to Timothy's son Peterson for 5 shillings. The original grants to John Peterson d. 1731 were cited and the deed was probably made to confirm Peterson Thorp's title in land that had already been passed to him by his father. The second deed was witnessed by John Blunt, Mary Peterson, and James Brown. The identity of Mary is unknown.

The will of Timothy Thorp, dated 3 Sept. 17^3, and probated the following October, mentioned wife Martha, the children listed below and grand— daughter Martha Jarrell. Son Peterson and son— in— law William Person were named executors. The marriages of his daughters Mary, Lucy, Martha, and Temperance are proven by the final account of his estate, filed in Southampton Co. in 1773. His widow Martha married secondly James Jones, whose Southampton Co. will was dated 1771 and recorded 1773. There was no issue by this marriage. Martha herself left a will, dated 1780, and recorded 1781 in Southampton Co. in which she mentioned her son Timothy and several grandchildren. The birth dates of Martha Peterson Thorp— Jones and her children were found among the loose papers in a court suit in Southampton County, with the notation that the originals were copied into the Bible of James Jones at the request of his wife, the mother of the children (See S.S.V. Vol.1, p. 68). The birth of Martha was recorded as 20 Feb. 1716. The dates below are those found in the suit papers. Issue of Capt . Timothy Thorp and his wife Martha-*, presumedly Peterson:

According to the Va. Gazette of 21 Nov. 1777 Timothy Thorp, administrator of Peterson Thorp, deed, offei'ed for rent a plantation belonging to the estate on the Meherrin River, four miles below Hick's Ford. This seems to have been the property John Peterson deeded to Peterson Thorp in 1766, as discussed earlier. Peterson and Martha had a son and two daughters. The girls, Ann and Patsy were mentioned in the will of their grandmother Martha Thorp Jones.

Brunswick County Judsments 1825, M— R, Box 88

by B. H. Browder

To the vjorshipful court of Brunswick County sitting in chancery

Humbly complaining sheueth to your worships your executrix Mary Parham widow & relict of Lewis Parham late of this County ( 8, who was commonly called Doctor Parham) dec'd that your oratrix' said husband Lewis Parham by his last will and testament which is duly recorded in this worshipful court & which she prays to be taken & considered a part of this bill devised and bequeathed to your oratrix all his estate during her widowhood in the words following "I lend my beloved wife Mary Parham all my estate during the time she remains my widow, " and at the expiration of that time he disposes of his estate in the following words — that is to say — "At the expiration of that time all the property that came by her and their increase meaning the negroes she has to dispose of at her own discretion The balance is to be the property [illegible ] my brother William Parham, for the use of raising & educating his children But at his death that part of my estate is to be divided among his children or the grand children each drawing a part which might have fallen to their father or mother if living except my lands containing twelve hundred and sixteen acres more or less, which is to go to my brother William Parham ' s son Lewis Edward Branch Parham to him and his heirs and assigns forever — " by which provisions in the said will your oratrix is entitled to all the slaves that came by her & which her husband acquired by his intermarriage with her, as her own absolute property & to dispose of as she things proper. Your oratrix avers most solemnly that there are twenty three slaves belonging to her husband's estate which either came by her on her intermarriage or are the descendants of female slaves brought by her 8 so acquired by her husband by his intermarriage with your oratrix whose names are hereinafter particularly enumerated but that the

legatees to whom the rest of his slaves are bequeathed by the testator to wit the children of his brother William believing or confidently concluding that from the great length of time since the intermarriage of your oratrix with her husband being ^ considerably more than forty years past & from the death of witnesses & the omission in the [crossed out] his last will 8, testament to name particularly those slaves & the descendants of the females of them whom the testator acquired by his marriage with your oratrix & to discriminate them from her other slaves that it will be impossible to distinguish those slaves that came by her 8 the descendants of the females from the slaves otherwise acquired by the testator especially if your oratrix should by the kindness of the author of all good things be

permitted to live some years longer S that this difficulty of discriminating between the tuo sets of slaves those that came by her from those otherwise acquired will be continually increasing with the progress of time so as to make this distinction though at this time practicable in a few years impossible — that your oratrix can by the testimony of several persons now living prove the identity of those twenty three slaves as having come by her to her husband or being the descendants of the females of those slaves so acquired by the testator by virtue of his intermarriage with her; that the adult children Legatees of William Parham well know or have strong reason to believe & do believe that the said twenty three slaves really came by [blot] or are descendants of some of the females that came by her but that they have refused to [words crossed out] acknowledge the fact to be so before witnesses or subscribe an acknowlegment , declaration or admission to that effect, so as to [crossed out] prevent litigation 8 disputes at a future day & to secure to your oratrix the right 8 benefit intended her by her husband to dispose of the slaves he acquired by her at her own discretion that those legatees can only be influenced in their refusal to make such an admission acknowledgment or declaration by a hope that they may hereafter [illegible ] the slaves as their own property ?or/as? being otherwise acquired by the testator 8 devised to them if it cannot be established by proof that they came by your oratrix. Your oratrix can only secure to herself the right of disposing of those slaves so come by her by perpetuating[?] in this worshipful court the testimony of witnesses now living who knew those slaves to have been so acquired by her husband by his intermarriage with her or heard the testator explicitly admit the fact to be so Your oratrix states that the following are the twenty three slaves hereinbefore referred to as given to her by the said last will 8 testament to be disposed of at her own discretion because they came by herself or as the descendants of female slaves that came by her, namely John a negro man that your oratrix had as her own 8 brought to her husband when she married him and four negro men named Sharper, Dick, Amos 8 George 8 a woman called

Chloe, Priscilla a girl 8 Jesse a boy which said four men, woman named Chloe, girl named Priscilla 8 boy named Jesse are all children of a negroe woman named Amey (who was sister to the said negroe man named John) that came by your oratrix aforesaid, but who died in the year 1804 — also Hannah a negroe woman that came by your oratrix to her husband, and two men named Tom 8 Ned sons of the said Hannah, 8 two negroe woman Rachel and Pat 8 acquired by the testator by his intermarriage with your oratrix

- and David sometimes called David Jackson, Henry 8 Nelson sometimes called Nelson Curie

three negroe boys sons of the said negroe woman Pat and Hannah a female and the youngest child of the said negroe woman named Pat

THE PETERSON FAMILY By Claiborne T. Smith, Jr. (Continued from Vol. 8, p. 80)

John ■* Peterson (Battea, Johnz , Johni ) was the only son of his father. He lived all his life in the extreme eastern part of Brunswick County in the area which later became Greensville County, not far from the final residence of his grand— father, John Peterson (d. 1731). He was married at least three times. According to a 1759 Brunswick deed, his wife was named Martha. She was still living in 1762 when, as John and Martha Peterson, they conveyed land in Northampton Co. , N. C. Martha had died by

110

21 April 1764 when the marriage bond of John Peterson "of Brunswick Co. " and Elizabeth, the daughter of George Briggs was recorded in Sussex. The death of Elizabeth Briggs Peterson was listed in the Sussex Co. Albemarle Parish Register in June 1766. John married a third time, Boyce Brewer, of whom nothing is known. The prenuptial agreement filed in Brunswick Co. • on 28 Feb. 1767 stipulated she receive fifty pounds in lieu of her dower. This unusual agreement very likely reflects John Peterson's frustration regarding the long dower tenure of his stepmother Frances Hicks Ransome— Peterson— Powell who was still alive when he wrote his will in 1763. There is no further record of Boyce Brewer Peterson after the payment of her jointure, recorded in the estate account of John Peterson. It may be significant that the 1782 Greensville will of Thomas Morris mentioned a wife Boyce and among others, daughter Bethia and her husband John Brewer.

KINCHEN EXCURSUS. Evidence is strong that Martha, presumed first wife of John Peterson and the mother of his surviving children, was the daughter of William Kinchen, c. 1692—1779. He was the subject of a celebrated passage in William Byrd's 1728 History of the Dividing Line. Kinchen later moved from the Meherrin to Occonechee Neck in Northampton Co. N. C. and finally settled on Swift Creek in Edgecombe. He was the son of William Kinchen who died testate in Isle of Wight Co. Va. in 1735 and his wife Elizabeth, whose identity is unproven. It has been suggested she was a member of either the Raiford or Joyner families. By 1740 Elizabeth was in Bertie Co. N. C. where as "late of Isle of Wight" she deeded personal property to her son William and his son William, and his son William, her grandson (Bertie D.B. "F", pp. 176, 203).

The identity of Mary, the first wife of William Kinchen d. 1779, is unknown. From deeds it appears they had at least three children: William, who died testate in Edgecombe in 1758; Henry; and Mary who m. 1st Richard McKinnie and 2nd Blake Baker. There may well have been other daughters, including Martha, the wife of John Peterson. The use of the name Kinchen among the descendants of John and Martha, and especially the combination "Martha Kinchen" supports such a relationship. The issue of William Kinchen by his first wife is the only logical place for this to occur. According to a prenuptial agreement in Northampton in 1758, this William Kinchen married secondly Sarah, the daughter of Robert House. (Northampton D.B. 2-500). His Edgecombe will, dated July, 1779 and probated later the same year, mentions only wife Sarah and her two children Mourning Ball and son Mathew. There is no mention of his family by the earlier marriage. Later Edgecombe deeds show Mourning married Spencer Ball and Mathew married Elizabeth Bellamy. This couple moved to Hancock Co. Ga. where so many of the Peterson connections had settled. The widow Sarah House Kinchen married

111

2nd about 1784 Elisha Rogers of Edgecombe who d.s.p. in 1786. (Edgecombe D. B. 4-pp. 193,284).

Henry Kinchen, above, is of particular interest as there is evidence in the records of an association with the John Peterson family. He and Batte Peterson, oldest son of John and Martha, both witnessed a deed in Northampton from Ulilliam Lankford to William Kinchen in 1757. On 11 July, 1761 both Henry and Batte bought lots in the town of Tarboro which had only recently been laid out. Peterson was styled as "of Brunswick Co. Va. " The lots did not adjoin. They were the only lot purchases in the town for several months. (Edgecombe D. B. "C", pp 20,23). The titles cannot be traced in the Edgecombe registry and may have lapsed for some reason. Also pertinent is the name Henry Kinchen given to the eldest son of John Peterson, d. 1799, brother to Batte, and Batte Peterson appearing as a witness to a

1757 Edgecombe deed from Joseph Lane to Blake Baker, husband to Mary Kinchen, the sister of Henry. Henry Kinchen d. s. p. intestate, seemingly prior to the 1762 Northampton poll tax. In

1758 his father William deeded him 1100 acres in Occoneechee where William had lived. (Northampton Co. N. C. D. B. 2-p. 502). In 1770 this identical tract was sold by John Kinchen, oldest son of William d. 1758, no doubt as heir at law of his uncle Henry. (Ibid. Book 5-p. 48).

John Peterson, though a resident of Virginia, obtained a grant of 200 acres in Johnston Co. N. C. in 1752, in an area in which William Kinchen had also invested. This tract later fell in Dobbs County and was in Wayne County when John's son William sold it in 1786. (Wayne Co. D. B. 4-22). Both William Peterson and his brother Kinchen lived in Dobbs for a time.

John Peterson made his will in 1763 and the same was recorded in Brunswick in 1769. He did not rewrite his will following his 1764 marriage to Elizabeth Briggs and neither the child by that marriage or his last wife Boyce are mentioned in the document. At the time the will was written, only son Batte was of age and Temperance was the only married daughter.

In the records of Middlesex County Robert Mickelburrough was referred to as orphan of Edmund Mickleburrough, deed, in 1737.

At that time only 2 of the testator's daughters were unmarried — your oratrix, Tabitha Randolph, and her sister Elizabeth Gilliam. Peter continued to keep under his care the 8 negroes of which he was a 3/5 owner. He died a few years past. William Mayo, Esq. is the acting executor of said Peter Poythress and continues to hold possession of said 8 slaves, though often requested to give your oratrix her share. She desires an accounting of the 8 slaves and their issue with ages and sex given - then her 1/5 of said slaves and 1/5 of labor since death of said Peter Poythress to be allotted to her.

TUEy^ER EXCURSUS: Simon Turner, died intestate Greensville Co. Va. c. 1818, and his wife Elizabeth, the daughter of Thomas Person, had four sons: Joseph; Green; Person; and Simon; of whom three married into the Peterson family. Joseph and Person married respectively Ann and Mason Taylor Peterson, daughters of Battes Peterson while their brother Green Turner married Dorcas Turners, daughter of Batte 's sister Patience Peterson^ and her husband Thomas Turner. Simon Turner, the fourth son, married Polly, the daughter of John Peters, Greensville Co. m. B. 1800 and had issue. For the daughters of Simon and Elizabeth (Person) Turner, see S.S.V. 7— p. 53.

Simon Turner, d. 1818, above, sometimes referred to in the records as "minor" was in turn the son of Joseph Turner who died intestate in Brunswick Co. Va. 1737 and his wife Burchett, the daughter of James Lundy whose Isle of Wight will was dated 1717 and recorded 1723. According to an Isle of Wight deed, John Turner deeded his son Joseph a tract he had patented in that county in 1686. This land passed to Joseph's son James who willed it to his sister Elizabeth Jordan, of whom later. On the death of Joseph, his widow Burchett married 2nd Edward Green and moved to Warren Co. N. C. According to an account of the Green family in Alston op. cit. ,p. 334, Edward Green and the widow Turner, who is incorrectly identified therein as Henrietta Powell, each had ten children by their prior marriages and had themselves a son William Green (1739-1799) of Warren who married Mary Christmas and left many descendants.

Of the legendary ten children of Joseph and Burchett (Lundy) Turner, only eight can be accounted for in the will of their son James and by certain Brunswick. County deeds.

GREENWAY EXCURSUS: Dr. James Greenway, b. circa 1720 in England, settled in Virginia where he married Martha Dixon, parentage unknown. The Greenways lived in Dinwiddle. It may be significant that James was granted 208 acres in that county in 1771, adjoining among others, Thomas, Henry, and Frederick

150

Dixon. Of this grant, 79 acres was part of a previous patent to Thomas Dixon in 1751. James Greenway and Martha Dixon were the parents of ten children, of whom, three daughters married into the Peterson connection. Dolly Greenway married John Petersons while her sister Martha married his brother Kinchens, sons of Batte Petersons. Mary Greenway was the second wife of Robert Hicks son of Nathaniel Hicks and Mary Peterson. (S. S. V. 8— p. 33). Robert Greenway, d. 1838, the only surviving son of Dr. Greenway, married Ann Eliza Kennon Wyatt, d. 1839, and had a son and two daughters, of whom Martha E. Greenway married Dr. John Peterson Goodwyn, grandson of Col. Peterson Goodwyn and his wife Elizabeth Peterson. (S. S. V. 7— p. 141). Dr. James Greenway was an amateur botanist of note. For more information on this family, see Tyler's Quarterly Vol. 8, p. 65 and ibid . Vol. 17 pp. 210—223 and also Dinwiddle, The Country of the Apamatica, W. P. A. (1942).

John Petersons, Battes, John''-, married Dolly Greenway. His will, dated Hancock Co. Ga. and probated in Greensville Co. Va. 1806, devised a third of his estate to his wife and the remainder to his children not named. In 1810 Simon Turner gave a legal title to land to Dolly, the widow of John Peterson and the four children listed below. This land was originally conveyed from Joseph Turner to John Peterson (Greensville Co. Va. D.B. 4— p. 147). Boddie is in error in stating that John Peterson married secondly Dolly Sturdivant in Sussex in 1801. Dolly Greenway Peterson moved to Georgia with her three surviving children — Batte, Rebecca, and Martha - where they all appear in Jones County at the time of the 1830 U.S. census. She later joined her son Batte and daughter Martha Eaton in their move to Macon Co. Ala. where she made her will in 1838, probated in 1842. Her will mentioned son Batte; daughter Martha wife of Charles Eaton; daughter Rebecca Clark, and her grandson John T. Peterson, then an infant who was left a gold dollar.

1. Batte Peterson"^ and Dolly Greenway.

2. Rebecca Ann Peterson^ m. Joshua Clark — of whom later.

3. Mary Greenway Peterson^ m. Dr. Littleberry Robinson -see below.

4. Martha Dixon Peterson^ m. 1820 Greensville Co.,Va. M. B. Charles Rust Eaton and d. s. p. Macon Co. Ala.

Mary Greenway Peterson"^, above, married Greensville Co. Va. M. B. 1818, Dr. Littleberry R. Robinson, M. D. University of Pa. 1810, and seemingly the son of Littleberry Robinson of Greensville. Mary survived her husband and died testate Greensville, will dated and recorded in 1823. She mentioned her two infant sons Braxtons and Litt leberrys; brother Batte,

151

mother Dolly; sister Martha Eaton and a house and lot in Mi iledgevi lie, Georgia. There is no estate record for Dr. Robinson in Greensville and he may have died in Georgia. Greensville records show that Littleberry, son of the above had d.s.p. by 1828. (Greensville D.B. 6-p. 387). Braxton is unt raced.

Rebecca Ann Peterson"^, b. 1795, (Johns, Batte s), married 1812, Northampton Co. N. C. N. B. Joshua Clark, b. 1789. They were living in Jasper Co. Ga. at the time of the 1850 U.S. Census. Only record of issue is a son Batte Peterson Clarks, b. 1820, though census records suggest there were others. Batte Clark, married his cousin Mary Eliza Thweatt"?, b. 1817 in Upson Co. Ga. in 1843. She was the daughter of the Rev. Thomas Thweatt^, son of Elizabeth Petersons, John-*. See earlier in this article. Batte P. Clark and his wife are listed in the 1850 Macon Co. Ala. census with a daughter Sarahs, b. 1845 and a son Alberta, d. 1848.

Batte Peterson^, John©, Batte& , settled in Macon Co. Ala. where he died testate in 1851. The will refers to wife Sarah but does not list the children by name. Batte and his family do not appear in the 1850 census. According to the 1860 census Batte and Sarah had the sons listed below. John T. Peterson, mentioned in the division of his father's estate and in the will of his grand— mother Dolly Peterson, was living in a different household in 1860. Batte Peterson married Sarah C. Pinckard on 24 May 1836 in Monroe Co. , Ga.

3. Batte Petersons - b. 1844 Ga.

4. Peter Petersons - b. 1847, Ala.

5. James B. Petersons - b. 1849, Ala.

Patience Petersons, John-*, Battes married Thomas Turner of Southampton prior to 1779 as they both witnessed a deed in that year. His parentage has not been determined. By 1799, they were living in Halifax Co. N. C. when as Thomas and Patience Turner, they sold land in Southampton County. Thomas Turner eventually settled in Northampton Co. , N. C. On the death of Patience, he married 2nd Mrs. Jane Powell Warren, Northampton M. B. 1818. She survived Thomas, dying testate in Northampton, will dated 1831, probated 1835, with her nephew Collin W. Barnes as executor. She had no issue of her own and no Turner stepchildren are mentioned in the will. According to the Northampton will of Thomas Turner, dated January 1826 and probated the following June, he and Patience Peterson were the parents of the children listed below. Also mentioned in the will was John, son of Polly Arrington of Halifax who has not been identified.

Issue of Thoma and Patience (Peterson) Turner:

1. Elizabeth Turners m. 1st William Haley, 2nd Exum Holloman —of whom later.

2. Arthur Turners m. Elizabeth. See below.

see below

8. Dorcas Turners m. Green Turner — of whom later.

Arthur Turners, above, died in the lifetime of his father. The latter left a legacy to Arthur's children. Their residence was not specified. From the wording of Thomas Turner's will, Arthur's widow Elizabeth had remarried.

Sarah W. Turners, above m. 1st Benjamin Wilson and by 1826 was married to one Woodson. Her father left slaves to her children by Wilson. It is probable that both Sarah and her brother Arthur had moved out of the state.

Turners. Thomas Turner's bequest to his grandejon

Mathew C. Turner^ and naming him as residual legatee with his other children, suggests that he was the issue of another son, name unknown who died in the lifetime of his father. It may be significant that a Presly Turner, who cannot be identified witnessed deeds to Thomas Turner in Halifax Co. n. C. 1788 and 1799. Mathew C. Turner appears in the 1830 U. S. census for Halifax in the age group 30— 40 and unmarried. His grand— father 's estate records refer to his large gambling and tavern debts. No further record.

Etheldred Turners m. and died in Halifax Co. N. C.

A suit was filed in Halifax Superior Court on behalf of the orphan for funds due Etheldred from a land sale Thomas Turner had made in Southampton.

Dorcas Turners, Patience Petersons, John-*, married Green Turner, see above. His relation to Thomas Turner is not known.

He married Sarah, the daughter of Samuel Lockhart and by the census of 1810, was living across the Roanoke River in Halifax County with a wife and a son under the age of 10. Batte deeded William B. Lockhart, his brother-in-law, a slave in 1824 in Northampton. Ibid.- Book 22-135). This is the last mention of him and there is no record of his estate.

LOCKHART EXCURSUS: Samuel Lockhart was born in Norfolk Co. Va. 1738, the son of John Lockhart, will dated and proven in 1746 and his wife Sarah who married secondly William Hodges. Her will, as Sarah Hodges, dated and proven in 1761, named as executors sons Samuel Lockhart and William Hodges. Samuel Lockhart had moved to Northampton Co. N. C. by 1762 when he was deeded land by John Duke as the husband of Duke's daughter Elizabeth. There was no issue by this marriage. Lockhart married secondly Elizabeth, mentioned as daughter Elizabeth. There was no issue by this marriage. Lockhart married secondly Elizabeth, mentioned as daughter Elizabeth Lockhart in the

157

Northampton Co. will of her father Thomas Barrett, dated 1797 and probated 1809. Elizabeth's sister Martha had married John Peterson, uncle to Batte Peterson uho married Sarah, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Barrett) Lockhart, see above. Samuel Lockhart in 1775 deeded land to his older brother Lemuel uho followed him to Northampton. This deed has been erroneously interpreted, Lemuel being read as Samuel. There was only one Samuel in the county at that time. His distinguished career as cabinetmaker. Revolutionary officer and public servant is set forth in The Furniture of Coastal N. C. . John Bivins Jr. , (1988). Samuel's relationship to Patience (Veal) Lockhart who with her children were listed in the 1766 Northampton will of her brother Morris Veal and in the 1783 Northampton estate division of her brother Richard has not been worked out. The Veals were also from Norfolk and Patience and her children may well have remained in that county. There is no evidence they were ever in Northampton Co. Samuel Lockhart died intestate about 1799. His widow outlived him for many years and died testate in Northampton, will dated and probated 1832. She also out lived many of her children. According to the estates records of Samuel, his son John and the will of Elizabeth, they had eight children.

However, given the proximity of Barbour to Morgan Co. Ga. and the usual migration patterns, he is likely the son of B. W. Peterson. According to the 1850 census he was born in Georgia in 1818 and had daughters Martha, b. 1841 and Eugenia b. 1845, both born in Alabama. Dr. Peterson ran for Congress in 1857 but was defeated by E. S. Shorter and seems to have moved to Texas shortly thereafter. According to his obituary. Dr. Batte Peterson of Texas, formerly of Barbour Co. Ala. died in April, 1872 in Little Rock, Ark. Dr. John Marshall UJellborn, age 33, died in Millican, Texas 18 November 1869. He had married Martha, the daughter of Dr. Batte Peterson formerly of Barbour. He was survived by his wife and a son and daughter.

CONCLUDED

159

ARE THERE DESCENDANTS OF SILVESTER (BENNETT) HILL?

By L. H. Hart

This brief article will seek to present arguments indicating that, contrary to popularly accepted genealogical works, especially those of John B. Boddie, there are no living descendants of Silvester (Bennett) Hill, daughter of Edward Bennett and wife of Nicholas Hill.

The concensus has been that of the six children listed by Colonel Nicholas Hill as the children of his then wife Silvester only three survived to marry — Martha, Mary, and Elizabeth.

The first, Martha, married John Best. She was a widow when she died in 1695, leaving a nuncupiative will, sworn to by her mother [Isle of Wight Co. Will Book A, p. 149] . Her sole legatee was Luke Havi(e)ld. Immediately following this will is a deed from John Jennings and his wife Mary, in which they confirm to Luke Havield the bequest of their sister Martha and giving up "every pte and parcell thereof as being heir at law unto the said Martha Best. This important statement has been omitted in previous abstracts of the will and accompanying deed.

The second daughter Mary married John Jennings, Jr. This is confirmed by the above deed. Shortly thereafter, Mary seems to have died, as she is not mentioned in the will of her husband dated 31 December 1695. He does mention a son George, a sister Sarah Lucks, a brother William Thomas, and mother Mrs. Silvester Hill. Jennings died in 1698. His son is said to have died without issue.

The third daughter Elizabeth is assumed to have married William Thomas because of the statement in Jennings' will. She is the presumed ancestress of a numerous progeny who moved into North Carolina. It is interesting to note that Jennings does not mention the wife of his brother William Thomas — his wife's supposed sister and the only real connection between the two men. It is also worth noting that we do not really know the name of the wife of the William Thomas listed as brother by Jennings. It has been accepted to be Elizabeth by those forwarding the claim that she is a Hill and ancestress of the North Carolina families; but, there is no proof gi'ven. It is stated that William Thomas was living as late as 1710 and the proof is a power of attorney Qlsle of Wight Co. Deed Book 2, p. 190] from John Thomas, witnessed by William Thomas and John Collier. However, examination of this document does not state anything about the ancestry of the parties involved; the witnesses seem to indicate that the family is an entirely different line from the Thomas family later of North Carolina. People with the same names as the three parties involved in the

160

power of attorney are listed as children or in— laws of William Thomas of Surry, who died testate in 1719 [Deeds 8 Wills, 1715—30, p. 243] . This seems to eliminate the power of attorney from consideration as documentation of the descent of the William Thomas under consideration.

Stated concisely, there is no evidence of the name of the wife of William Thomas, "brother" of John Jennings, nor any proof of his actual connection to Jennings. It is quite possible that he was married to a sister or step— sister of Jennings. John Jennings, Sr. , the father of John had several daughters — Martha, liary, and Sarah Ingram— Lucks-Wheadon. He had married a widow Seward, who also had children. One of these is equally as possible a wife of William Thomas — and that would also establish the "brother" connection.

A deed between Mrs. Silvester Hill and William Thomas is also cited as proof of the relationship. This 1701 record is a lease for the life of William Thomas and makes no mention of any familial connection between the lessor and lessee. It seems to be possibly charitable in nature, but does not attempt to provide for the wife or any heirs of William Thomas.

In addition to the lack of concrete evidence as to the identity of William Thomas and his wife, there is the strong evidence of the will of Mrs. Silvester Hill in 1706. She mentions a god-daughter as a major legatee. She also mentions a niece and several great -nephews. There is no menl^ion of any children or srandchlldren. She is mentioned in her nephew James Day's will in 1700, as are other of his relations, but there is no mention of her children.

To summarize the above, there is no definite indication that Elizabeth Hill, daughter of Silvester Hill, married William Thomas. She is not mentioned in the. will of her sister Martha Best, her brother— in— law John Jennings, Jr. , or her mother. Perhaps even more negative is the fact that Mary Jennings is listed as the heii — at — law of her sister Martha Best — the legal implication being that she is the only surviving heir. While, no attempt has been made in this article to determine whom William Thomas did marry, it is hoped that the evidence here presented will cause researchers to seriously reconsider the validity of previous claims that his wife was Elizabeth Hill, daughter of Nicholas and Silvester (Bennett) Hill.

HATTON OF NORFOLK COUNTY, VIRGINIA by Claiborne T. Smith, Jr.

John Hatton, b. 1599, and his wife Olive, b. 1593 appear in the muster of the inhabitants of Virginia, taken in the winter of 1625. According to this source John came to Virginia in the ship "Treasurer" in 1613 and his wife in the "Abigail" in 1620. They had no children listed in the muster. They were living in the part of Elizabeth City County south of Hampton Roads from which New Norfolk was formed in 1636. John's English antecedents are unknown but the surname is common in Gloucestershire and Bristol. There are few references to the immigrant John Hatton in the surviving records. He is possibly the person of that name mentioned in the 1630 Jamestown will of Thomas War net t. (Genealogical Gleanings in England. Henry F. Waters, (1969) p. 39-40. There is no record of issue by his first wife Olive. She was dead by 1634 when he had a son John by his second wife Dorothy, whose surname is unknown. John Hatton 's will, dated 17 Feb. 1649, recorded 16 June 1650 devised to wife Dorothy the cow he had of Thomas Browne for life, then to son John. The will is damaged but the same disposition seems to have been made for his land. Reference was made to "all

167

my children" and the document witnessed by John Hill and Thomas Browne. From various records John and Dorothy had the three sons listed below. It is possible that there were daughters whose names have been lost.

Issue of John Hatton and Dorothy :

1. Johns, b. 1634 - of whom later

2. Robert^ - of whom later

3. P'rancis2. He married but left no issue. His Norfolk, will, dated 1687, recorded 1688, mentioned wife Sarah, brother John, and cousins Thomas Sayer, John Dean and John Wright. The last named may be the husband of Hatton 's niece Ann, daughter of John Hatton. Sayer and Dean have not been identified.

On the death of John Hatton, his widow Dorothy married by

1652 Thomas Tooker, b. 1614. He soon died, heavily in debt and had abused the estate of the Hatton orphans. Dorothy married by

1653 for the third time Gregory Parrott. A person of property, he had been granted 300 acres in Lower Norfolk in 1652 and 150 acres in Isle of Wight in 1653 on the main River. (Nugent 1—229, 274). Parrott also soon died and in 1654, his relict, not named, was ordered to take administration of the estate and to pay "a great sum of tobacco and corn" to Lt . Col. Cornelius Lloyd for the servants wages. (Va. Colonial Abstracts. LowerNorf oik. 1641-1654, Beverly Fleet, (1948), p. 468. There is no further record of Dorothy. It is possible she married yet again. There is no record of the lands patented by Parrott in Isle of Wight and Lower Norfolk. It is possible she was the Dorothy Parrott named as a headright in the 1663 grant to George Catchmaid for 2200 acres in the Albemarle section of what later became North Carolina. (Nugent 1-501). She was dead by 1681 when her son John, as son of Dorothy Hatton, deeded land to the heirs of his brother Robert. The 1650 will of John Hatton seemingly left Dorothy a life interest in the property.

EXCURSUS. There were others of the surname Hatton in early Virginia, even in the Norfolk area who do not seem to have been related to John d. 1650 and his family. On 31 Oct. 1655 John Hatton of Bristol, watchmaker, was bound to Edward Tyson of Briston, merchant, to serve four years in Virginia. (The Complete Book of Emigrants 1607-1660. Peter Coldham (1987), p. 300). Several Hattons appear as headrights in seventeenth century patents, including John and Mary Hatton who were headrights for John Molton in a 1694 Nansemond grant (Nugent 2—388). In Norfolk County, Martha Hatton witnessed the will of Joan Yates in 1664 and Capt. William Hatton appears as witness to the will of John Elliott in 1693. One Thomas Hatton settled in Maryland in 1646 and in 1652 was secretary of that colony. He and his family are the subject of an article by Dr.

168

Christopher Johnson published in the Mill jam and Mary Quarterly , (I) Vol. 23, p. 113 et seq. Just to the south of Norfolk County, one John Hatton died testate in Pasquotank Co. N. C. in 1698, leaving no family. (Grimes . 157) . Another John Hatton was clerk of the N. C. General Court in 1718, and in the same year, as of Bath County, was given power of attornery by Patrick Maule and Richard Case respectively. (Beaufort Co. , N. C. D.B. 1-291, 292). In 1719 John Hatton sold land for Edmund Porter of Albemarle County.

(Ibid —358). It is of interest that Porter was a native of Norfolk. There is no further reference in the N. C. records to this John Hatton.

There were unrelated Hattons in eighteenth century Virginia as well. The only Hattons listed in the rent roll of 1704 were Samuel Hatton-22& acres, and the orphans of John Hatton, 93 acres, all in Warwick County. In Sept. 1751, both the Philadelphia and New York papers carried the death notice of George Hatton, a native of Nansemond Co. Va. who had died at Amwell, N.J. in his 103rd year. He had been a soldier under Nathaniel Bacon. (Gen. Abstracts 18th Cent. Va. Newspapers. Robert K. Headley (1987), p. 156. Nothing is known of him. A cursory examination of the printed colonial records of New Jersey has only one reference which may pertain to him. The 1741 will of Richard Green in the Trenton area mentions a tract of land George Hatton had lived on. A Thomas Hatton died intestate in Isle of Wight Co. Va. in 1761, apparently without issue. Towards the middle of the eighteenth century, a family of Hattons, antecedents unknown appeared in Frederick Co. in the Valley of Virginia. A Thomas Hatton married Mrs. Ann Redwood in 1791 according to their M. B. in Petersburg Hustings Court. The birth of their daughter Delilah Ann Southall Hatton in 1793 appeared in the Bristol Parish Register. They did not remain in the Petersburg area and census records suggest they may have settled in Amelia.

John Hatton2, Johni . According to an affidavit 16 May 1701 Norfolk D.B. 6-206, he was born in 1634. He first appeared as an adult in the Norfolk records in 1657. He was granted 300 acres on the western branch of the Elizabeth River near the head of Brownes Creek in 1652. (Nugent 1-269). Hatton received a re— grant of 240 acres of the same tract in 1673, apparently 60 acres had been disposed of. (Nugent 2-125). As Capt. John Hatton, he was granted lOO acres in Lower Norfolk in 1682 (Nugent 2—241) and in 1693 was confirmed in his title to land inherited from John Hatton, deceased, apparently his son who died without issue. (Nugent 2-384). John Hatton was a justice of the county court for a number of years. The name of his first wife, the mother of his surviving daughter Ann and the son John above, is not known. Possibly she was the Martha Hatton who witnessed a will in Norfolk in 1664. Capt. John married 2nd Hannah [Hadden ?] . According to a 1701 deposition, she was born in 1668. (Norfolk D.B. 6-206). There was no issue by this

169

marriage. She married 2nd Jonas Holladay and survived him as well, dying testate without issue in 1726. In her will, discussed below, she mentioned brothers by the name Hadden, implying that this was her maiden name. Hadden in itself is a surname but in the early records Hatton was often spelled this way.

The will of John Hatton, dated 1702, is recorded in Norfolk Co. Record Book 6, p. 257. It is badly damaged. The legatees that can be made out are wife Hannah, grandson Francis Wright and daughter Ann Gregory, and the witnesses Henry Bowes and Richard Webb. It appears that Francis Wright was residual legatee of Hatton 's plantation, orchards and still after the death of Hannah. Christopher Wright was a legatee whose name is not legible in the damaged will. In Record Book 6, p. 263 Hannah Hatton, relict of Capt . John Hatton and one of the executors of his will had married Jonas Holladay and Ann Gregory, one of the executors thereof had married Thomas Martin. On 15 Sept. 1703 Thomas and Ann Martin were listed as guardians and next of kin to Francis and Christopher Wright, legatees of Capt. John Hatton. As will be seen below, they were the two youngest sons of Ann3 Hatton by her first husband John Wright.

John2 Hatton and his wife had issue.

1. Johns Hatton-d. s. p. before 1694.

2. Anns Hatton m. 1) John Wright, d. 1698 2) John Gregory d. ca. 1701 3) Thomas Martin.

Jonas Hollyday, second husband of Hannah LHaddon] Hatton was the son of Anthony Hollyday and wife Anne of Isle of Wight Co. Va. In a discussion of this family in 17th Century Isle of Wight Co. Va. by John B. Boddie (1938) cited henceforth as Boddie . Jonas is said to have died in Norfolk County in 1718 without issue. He had been granted 93 acres on Langley's Creek in Norfolk adjoining Capt. John Hatton in 1711 for importing two persons, one of whom was his wife Hannah. (Nugent 3-119).

Hannah Hatton— Hoi laday left a remarkable will, dated Norfolk Co. 27 Nov. 1725 and offered for probate 16 Sept. 1726 in which she mentioned about 30 people and a good deal of personal property. In an unusual bequest, she freed her slave girl Sarah and left 5 pounds for her transportation to an unspecified destination. The majority of the legatees were the descendants of her step— daughter Ann who is not mentioned by name and was probably deceased. Jonas Holladay, son of Samuel Holladay, the brother of her husband Jonas and his sister Mary Knott were mentioned as well as her own siblings John, Thomas, and William Haddon, Mary Brooks and Ann, the wife of William Green. To each of her siblings Hannah left 5 pounds instead of personal property, implying they were not residents of the

170

Norfolk area. Several people who are known to have been local residents were listed in the will and were probably personal friends as no relationship can be determined. Grandson William Wright was made executor and residual legatee.

Anna Hatton, Johns, Johni m. 1st John Wright, 2nd John Gregory and 3rd in 1703 Thomas Martin. John Wright was dead by 1698 as on 14 Sept. of that year. Ann and William and Joseph Wright, executors of the last will of John Wright of Nansemond Co. Va. gave a power of attorney to John Porter to collect debts due the estate in North Carolina. N. C. Higher Court Records 1697-1701 M. Parker ed. (1971) p. 545. Ann's 2nd marriage to John Gregory was brief. He may have been the son the Rev. John Gregory, mentioned as rector of the Upper Parish in Nansemond in 1680. He had died before 1702 leaving an only son John. Thomas Ilartin, the last husband of Ann Hatton survived her and died testate in Norfolk County, will dated May 1740 and proved the following month. He directed his lands in Virginia and N. C. to be sold and left his estate to his sons— in— law William Wright and John Gregory of Nansemond County. Issue of Anna Hatton and John Wright:

1. William''- Wright

2. John-* Wright

3. Joseph"*- Wright

4. Francis''- Wright — deceased before 1726

5. Christopher-* Wright - apparently d. s. p. in 1726. He is probably the person of the name who received a grant for 234 acres in Norfolk Co. on the western branch of the Elizabeth River in 1718. (Nugent 3-208).

The following relationships pertaining to the children listed above are mentioned in Hannah Holladay's 1726 will.

William-* Wright's wife is not mentioned but he had sons Edwards and Williams who was married to Mary and had a son Christophers .

John Wright-* was married to Ann and had daughters Anns and Marys.

Joseph"* Wright was married to Elizabeth and had a daughter Marys.

Frances-* Wright was deceased but left a son Franciss.

171

Ann3 Hatton and her 2nd husband John Gregory had one child, a son John''-, who uas mentioned in the will of Hannah Holladay and a legatee of Thomas Martin in 1740. He is seemingly the Ma j . John Gregory who resigned from the vestry of Suffolk Parish in 1758. The name of his wife is unknown. Issue from the Chowan Co. N. C. will of his daughter Mary Gregory, dated 25 Nov. 1761.

1. Marys Gregory-d. s. p. 1761

2. Elizabeths Gregory m. the Rev. Daniel Earle, St. Paul's Parish, Edenton, N. C. She d. s. p.

3. Christians Gregory m. Josiah Cranberry.

4. Jamess Gregory. He is said to have married Patience, b. 1726, the daughter of Thomas and Mary Godwin. Boddie p. 478. He is probably the Capt. James Gregory a vestryman of Suffolk Parish, Nansemond Co. who died 24 Mar. 1761. (Suffolk Parish Vestrybook. W. L. Hopkins (1988) p. 22. It will be noted that the will of his sister Mary, made later that year, does not mention James but lists his five children: Williams, Thomass, Johns, JamesB, and Anns. The last named married Josiah Granberry, the nephew of the Josiah who married Christian Gregory above. Johns never married and died testate in Gates Co., N. C. d. 1782 - probated 1784, lists his four siblings as above. He had been a Capt. in the 15th Va. Regiment of the Continental Line and the bounty land claim of his collateral descendants gives information on several generations of the descendants of Jamess and Patience (Godwin) Gregory. See Va Mag. 15 p. 442-444.

Robert Hatton^, Johni . He m. Elizabeth, surname unknown. His will, dated Norfolk Co. 1675 was probated 16 Feb. 1681. He devised his son Robert, then under the age of 21 all his land, after the death of his wife, and two fowling pieces. Also mentioned was his daughter Elizabeth, under the age of 16. He appointed his wife executrix and his brothers Capt. John Hatton and Francis Hatton as overseers. The will was witnessed by Eleazer Hart and George Home. In 1682, John Hatton of Lower Norfolk "whose mother was Mrs. Dorothy Hatton" deeded to her son, my brother Robert Hatton, deed. , land to the orphan and widow of my brother Robert Hatton, deed. — his cousin (nephew) Robert Hatton, son of late brother Robert Hattonj Elizabeth, the wife of brother Robert Hatton, deed, one third of land during her natural life. (Norfolk Co. D. B. 4-134).

Robert and Elizabeth Hatton had issue:

1. Roberta — of whom later

2. Elizabeths — no record.

Roberta Hatton, Robert^ , Johni . Little is known of him and the surname of his wife Eleanor is unknown. His will, dated Oct. 1719 was proved in 1720 with James Grimes and Thomas Wright as witnesses. He only mentioned son Francis, to whom he devised

172

all his land and son Robert. Wife Eleanor was named executrix. Issue of Robert and Eleanor Hatton:

1. Francis'* of whom later

2. Roberf- see below.

3. Ann* m. John Barney who d. s. p. Norfolk Co. testate 1742. Ann herself made a will in 1743, recorded 1744 leaving her estate to her brother Francis Hatton and his daughter Ann.

Robert* Hatton, Roberts, Robertz , Johni . There are several conveyances to him in the deed books of Norfolk County. On 19 Dec. 1729 Thomas Brown of the Western Branch sold him 50 acres on Browns Creek. The deed was witnessed by Francis Hatton and Thomas Martin. Robert Hatton, according to later deeds lost all his property before he died intestate in 1758. In 1761, Dempseys Hatton, as eldest son and heir of Robert Hatton, deed, confirmed a deed his father had made in 1757. The name of the wife of Robert Hatton and those of his other children are not known. Dempsey Hatton, mariner, made a deed in 1769. There is no further record of him. It seems probable that one Francis Hatton who married Margaret Manning, the daughter of Anne Manning, Norfolk Co. M. B. 1766 was another son of Robert. It is likely that Robert Hatton was the ancestor of several of the name who appear in the Norfolk records for the next 50 years who cannot be placed. Being involved in the maritime economy of the area, there is no record of accumulation of land and slaves and these later descendants have not been worked out. Among the probable descendants are Robert Hatton who died testate in Norfolk leaving wife Keziah and children Robert and Sally and Thomas Hatton, who d. s. p. testate in 1797, freeing a family of slaves who seem to have been his only estate. His executor was Samuel Hatton of Indian Creek who was probably his brother. A Robert Hatton, possibly the son of Robert above, married Sarah Wilson in Norfolk in 1798. They had no children. According to a Norfolk newspaper, Capt . Robert Hatton of the brig "Nautilus" of Norfolk, age 57 died at Cape Megsurada Africa 16 Mar. 1828. His will, dated 1811, was recorded in Norfolk City in 1828. His widow Sarah age 49, died 1 Oct. 1830. Her will was recorded in Norfolk City in that year.

Francis* Hatton, Roberta, Robert^ , Johni . He made his will Norfolk County 10 Feb. 1746 and the same was probated the following June. He mentioned wife Catherine, his son John who was devised the manor plantation he then lived on; son Lewis who received the plantation over the creek and his pistols and sword, and "the rest of the children". Brother Robert was appointed executor and the will was witnessed by Kaley Wright and Mary Hatton. The identity of Catherine is unknown but her son Lewis had a daughter Catherine M. Hatton. Issue of Francis and Catherine Hatton: 1. Johns— see below

173

2. LewisE-- of whom later

3. Anns, mentioned in the will of her aunt Ann Barney.

JohnE Hatton, Francis^, Roberts, Robert^ , Johni . In 1758 John and his wife Elizabeth of the western branch of the Elizabeth River sold to Martin Bayne 3 acres at the mouth of Clarke's Creek, known as the louer point. The deed was witnessed by Lewis Hatton, Thomas Harris and Dicey Hatton. (Norfolk D.B. 18-165). In Feb. 1761, John and Elizabeth Hatton sold to Lewis Hatton "mariner, " 100 acres on the north side of the western branch of the Elizabeth River, being the land held by John Hatton under the will of his father Francis Hatton dated 1746. (Norfolk D.B. 19-183). The identity of Elizabeth Hatton is unknown. John and Elizabeth Hatton left the Norfolk area at this time and there is no further record of them. He is possibly the John Hatton who appeared on the tithable list of Pitt Co. N. C. in 1762. Pitt had been formed from Beaufort in 1761. John Hatton does not show up in the records of Beaufort just prior to the division and no relationship can be found with the earlier John Hatton in Beaufort in 1718. (see above). The tithable lists for Pitt are incomplete but John shows up again in 1763 and 1764. He continued to live in the county but acquired no land until a state grant in 1782. He may have been a merchant.

John Hatton achieved a degree of prominence in his new home and was appointed a member of the Pitt Committee of Safety in July 1775, just before the Revolution. His descendants are hard to work out as the Pitt wills prior to 1857 have been destroyed. The deeds, however, are intact and there are numerous Hatton entries prior to 1832 with the given names of Lewis Francis, John, and Robert suggesting a connection with the Norfolk family. A John Hatton died in 1798, probably the presumed immigrant from Norfolk. Index and Abstracts of the Deeds of Record of Pitt Co. N. C. Judith DuPree Ellison, in 4 vols. 1761-1832. (1968). Twenty miles west of Pitt, a Peter Hatton settled in Nash Co. N. C. in 1785 and left descendants. He does not appear in the Pitt deeds and cannot be placed. Francis Hatton [probable son of John] of Pitt Co. married by 1797 Frances, the daughter of Thomas Grimes of Edgecombe Co. which borders Pitt on the west. Grimes himself was a native of Norfolk. Francis Hatton died testate in Edgecombe 1827/1828 and in his will directed that his children be settled in Alabama.

LewisB Hatton, Francis'*, Robera , Robert^ , John^ . He is referred to in the Norfolk records as mariner and is said to

174

have prospered as a privateer during the American Revolution. He married Elizabeth Goodrich (1750-1824) by 1774, the daughter of Edward Goodrich of Isle of Wight Co. Va. (Isle of Wight D. B. 13, p. 210). She was mentioned in her father's 1759 Isle of Wight will. He had married Juliana, the daughter of John Davis of Isle of Wight. (Isle of Wight D. B. 8-272). See study of the Goodrich family in Boddie . p. 227 et seq. Lewis Hatton died testate Norfolk Co. , will dated Nov. 1784 and recorded 20 Jan. 1785. He mentioned wife Elizabeth, sons Edward and Lewis and "the rest of his children. " Reference was made to his half share in his sloop and her cargo should she return from the seas. Executors appointed were his son Edward, brother-in-law John Goodrich and John H. Grimes. Elizabeth Hatton survived her husband by many years and died testate Norfolk Co. 17 Oct. 1823, recorded 17 Mar. 1824. She mentioned grand-daughter Catherine Hatton Corbell, and left her to the care of her daughter Julia Armistead. Other legatees were her son John, daughter Elizabeth deBec, the children of deceased son Edward, and the child of her deceased son Goodrich Hatton. Her son John was appointed executor. The death of Elizabeth Hatton, 21 Feb. 1824 at age 74 was reported in a Norfolk newspaper Lftmerican Beacon and. CommBrcial Daily] . Any vital records pertaining to the children and grandchildren of Elizabeth Hatton, unless otherwise stipulated, are from the same source.

EATON OF PRINCE GEORGE AND GRANVILLE CO.,N.C. by C.T. Smith, Jr.

William Eaton appeared in Prince George Co. , Va. by 1717 when on 11 Nov. of that year, he bought 200 acres on the north side of the Blackwater Swamp from James Thweatt, bordering, among others, George Rives. According to Religues of The Rives, by J. Rives Childs, Eaton later married Mary, the daughter of this George Rives. Eaton became remarkably successful and prior to his death in Granville Co. N. C. in 1759, had accumulated a large landed estate. Many genealogists in the past have tried to place him in the York Co. Va. Eaton family, one of whom, John Eaton, owned land in Prince George. However, William Eaton came directly from England. According to the Mecklenburg Co. Va. Order Book, I, p. 24, Willaim appeared in court 3 May, 1739 and declared he had never made use of his importation right, although he had been imported into the colony from Great Britain 20 odd years ago. An unidentified tradition in Granville Co. N. C. affirmed that Eaton had come directly to Virginia from England and was a native of Gloucestershire. The International Genealogical Index lists the christening of a William Eaton 4 April 1696 in the parish of Awr with Blakeney in Gloucestershire, the son of Thomas and Jane Eaton. As the age is right for the immigrant William Eaton who d. 1759, and as his oldest daughter was named Jane, and his second son Thomas, it is highly probable he is the one who was baptized in 1696. He would have been a little over 21 when he made his first land purchase in Prince George in 1717.

184

The recent research of Brian Frith, Esq. of Gloucester, England produced the following information on Thomas Eaton, father of William, b. 1694, and his family. The Thomas Eaton in question uas likely the son of Thomasi and Jane Eaton who was baptized in the parish of Dymock, Gloucestershire 29 July 1666. His parents listed as Thomas Eaton, Cleric, Dymock and Jane P'oord, widow of Newent, had been married 5 July 1665 in the church of St. Nicholas, Gloucester. They only had the one child and Thomas Sen. soon died. As Thomas Eatoni , the elder of Dymock in the diocese of Gloucester, clerk he made his will 30 Mar. 1667 , devising 20 shillings to his wife Jane and all the rest of his property to his son Thomas, who was made sole executor. He appointed his brother Richard Eaton and his brother— in— law as overseers of his will, leaving them each a shilling for their trouble. Administration was granted to Jane, the relict 26 April 1667 during the minority of Thomas, son of the deceased.

Thomas^ Eaton, Thomasi was married to Jane Messer in the parish of Oxenhall 10 Dec. 1687 with Thomas Foorde, bondsman. Oxenhall was not far from Dymock. The parentage of Jane and her date of birth is unknown. Thomas Foorde may have been half brother to Thomas as his mother was a widow Foorde. Thomas and Jane (Messer) Eaton had two children born in Oxenhall. In 1692 or 1693 they moved to Blakeney in the parish of Awr, about ten miles north of the city of Bristol, also in Gloucestershire. Several of their children were baptized in the parish church of St. Andrew in Awr. In the register Thomas was listed as the founder at the Blakeney furnace. There is no record of his death or the disposal of his estate.

Issue of Thomas2 and Jane (Messer) Eaton. The dates are those of baptisms.

1. Richard a Eaton - 17 May, 1690 - Oxenhall

2. Jane 3 Eaton -21 May, 1692 Oxenhall

3. Elizabeth 3 Eaton -22 Aug. 1694- Awr

4. Williams - 4 April 1696 - Awr probably to Virginia

5. Mary 3 Eaton - 10 May 1698 Awr

6. Anne 3 Eaton - 19 April, 1700 Awr.

The account of Williams Eaton (1696-1759) and his family as published in Southside Va. Families. Vol. I by John B. Boddie (1955) is essentially correct though some additional facts have become available since that time. Jane-*, the oldest daughter of William Eaton married Anthony Haynes by whom she had issue. She then married Col. Nathaniel Edwards of Brunswick, d. 1771. Although many published accounts list her as the mother of his children, the final agreement among the heirs of William Eaton regarding his estate in the Bute Co. N. C. court minutes in Aug. 1770 show she had no issue by Edwards. The name of the last wife of Thomas Eaton-*, son of Williams, d. 1759 was unknown at the time of the Boddie article. According to the records of L.H.Hart [see the estate papers of Priscilla Williamson of

185

Northampton Co. , NC] , she was Elizabeth, the only issue of John and Priscilla (Weldon) Jones. John was the nepheu of Robert Jones who had married as his 2nd wife Mary, the daughter of William Eaton and sister to Thomas. On the death of Jones, his widow Priscilla married Lewis Williamson. (Brunswick Co. Va. D.B. 13—143). Elizabeth tJonesJ Eaton died before her husband. On 28 Nov. 1800 administration on her estate was granted to her widower Thomas Eaton. (Warren Co. N. C. W. B. 11—5). They had an only child Mary Allen Eatons who married her paternal first cousin Eaton Pugh.

Boddie was not aware of the identity of Rebecca, the wife of Thomas Eaton^, d. 1808, William'^, Williams. She was the daughter of James Dancy and his wife Elizabeth Edwards. Estates Records of Northampton Co. N. C. Vol I (1987) item # 153.

Rebecca Cocke, widow of William Eatons, d. 1775, William^, Williams married 2nd William Mallory. (Ibid— item #9).

Contributed by John W. Lewis

Whereas in the year 1819, Philip J. Lightfoot died leaving no children or descendants nor any father or mother, by reason whereof his estate if he had died intestate would have passed to his brothers and sisters and their descendants, subject only to the claim of his widow for dower and a distributive share: And whereas at a Court held for Charles City County at the Courthouse thereof on the 15th day of July 1819, a writing was admitted to probate as the last Will and Testament of the said Philip J. Lightfoot, by which writing if the same were a valid will, the decedent gave to his wife such estate as by the laws of the land she would be entitled to, bequeathed a legacy of two thousand dollars to William Hall, emancipated a slave named Cornelius and gave all the rest and residue of his estate to his nieces and nephews in equal portions, viz the children of his sister Mary E. B. Blackey, the son of his deceased brother William Lightfoot, the children of his deceased brother Francis Lightfoot and his deceased sister Ann Lewis's children: And whereas afterwards, to wit, in the year 1830, William A. Baker and Sarah Ann his wife who was Sarah Ann Lightfoot a sister of the half blood of the said Philip J. Lightfoot and as such an heir and distributee if he died intestate appeared and by bill exhibited to the Superior Court of Chancery formerly holden in Richmond contested the validity of the writing so admitted to probate as the said Philip J. Lightfoot 's will, and in the said suit which stood in the name of Baker and wife against Lightfoot 's executor and others and was transferred to the Circuit Superior Court of Law and Chancery for the County of

189

Henrico, it was ordered that an issue be made up to try whether the said writing was the Will of the said decedent or not, and the said issue was tried by a jury, but the jury were unable to agree upon a verdict: And whereas it has been agreed by and between the said Baker and wife on the one part, and the parties interested in sustaining the said writing as a valid will on the other, that the said Baker and wife shall receive the sum of four thousand five hundred dollars in lieu of what they would have been entitled to on account of the said Sarah Ann's right as heir or distributee of Philip J. Lightfoot, in case the said Will had been ascertained to be invalidj that upon receiving that sum the said Baker and wife shall by good and sufficient deed, release and convey to the parties who are interested as devisees or legatees and whom the payment is made, all the right which the said Sarah Ann would have as heir or distributee of Philip J. Lightfoot if the Will should be set aside: And thereupon that this suit contesting the validity of the Will be dismissed: And whereas the parties who are interested as such devisees or legatees are the following, to wit: 1st the children of the decedent's sister Mary E. B. Blackey: living at the decedents death, viz: A. W. Blackey who has married B. M. Tomlin, and Thomas H. Blackey: 2nd the son of the decedent's brother William Lightfoot.

Lightfoot, John Francis Lightfoot, Carter P. Lightfoot, and Elizabeth Virginia Lightfoot now the wife of Frederick B. Scruggs: 4th the decedent's sister Ann Lewis's children. Ann Lewis left only one child, to wit, Mary Ann Lewis who afterward intermarried with William Bernard and died on or about the 14th December 1829 leaving no children or descendants, father or mother, nor any brother or sister, or descendants of brothers and sisters, by reason whereof her ninth of the real estate of the said Philip J. Lightfoot is to be divided into two moieties one of which goes to her paternal and the other to her maternal kindred. On the father's side, she left no grand— father nor grand-mother but the following uncles and aunts and descendants of uncles and aunts, to wit, William Lewis, Hudson Lewis, and Jane E.

Tidewater virginia families

Virginia Lee Hutdieson Davis

Covering an incredible 375 years, this book sets forth the genealogical his- tory of some forty families who have their roots in Tidewater Virginia, families whose very history mirrors the social development of Virginia itself. Starting with the earliest colonial settler, the origins of the following Tidewater families are presented: BELL, BINFORD, BON- NER, BUTLER, CAMPBELL, CHEADLE, CHILES, CLEMENTS, COTTON, DEJAR- NETTE(ATT), DUMAS, ELLYSON, FISH- BACK, FLEMING, HAMLIN, HAMPTON, HARNISON, HARRIS, HAYNIE, HURT, HUTCHESON, LEE, MOSBY, MUNDY, NEL- SON, PEATROSS, PETTYJOHN, RUFFIN, SHORT, SPENCER, TARLETON, TATUM, TAYLOR, TERRILL, WATKINS, WINSTON, and WOODSON.

All families tie in with the earliest Hutcheson, Peatross, Butler, and Lee settlers in the colony of Virginia, and in each instance the family his- tory, its vital statistics, and the events of the time are reported, as are brief accounts of collat- eral issue in each generation. (Note that a family chart is included to make the progression from one generation to the next easier to follow.) The settlers tieated here range from a "Bridewell or- phan" to an early secretary of the colony, and the time-frame extends from the arrival of the George in 1619 to contemporary times.

With the benefit of myriad sources both in print and manuscript, and with the expert as- sistance of numerous county archivists, Mrs.

Davis has developed a microcosmic genealogy of Tidewater Virginia, an area until now sadly lacking in well-documented genealogical com- pilations. Even so, says the author in the pre- face, "since so many of the Tidewater counties of Virginia have had their records lost in fires or removed during a war, the reconstruction of these families is difficult at best. I hope I have been able to bring together information that will be useful to those interested in reading about their early ancestors in Virginia and also provide important information to those doing serious research. I have tried to search carefuUy, docu- ment well, and interpret with caution. Perhaps I have also performed a service in saving informa- tion that may not survive for later generations. "

Modesty aside, this is a landmark publication: so powerful a contribution to Virginia genealogy that it will be numbered among the handful of genealogical compendia that command the re- spect and admiration of all serious genealogists. For those with Tidewater Virginia ancestry, in particular, it will mark the natural beginning of their search.

Note that Tidewater Virginia Families includes the counties of Amherst, Caroline, Charles City, Chesterfield, Dinwiddle, Elizabeth City, Essex, Fairfax, Fauquier, Gloucester, Goochland, Han- over, Henrico, Isle of Wight, James City, King William, Lancaster, Mathews, Middlesex, New Kent, Northampton, Northumberland, Prince William, Prince George, Spotsylvania, Surry, Sussex, and York.

VIRGINIA'S

COLONIAL

SOLDIERS

Lloyd DeWitt Bockstruck

American military history begins with the establish- ment of the Virginia colonial militia in the seven- teenth century. This ill-trained militia was the colony's only defense against Indian attacks and invasion by hostile powers. The records they left behind — fragmentary and widely scattered — are prized by genealogists because they can be used to establish a place of origin or to prove that a particular person existed in a given locality at a specific time. The difficulty has always been to locate the records and to make them accessible.

With the publication of Virginia's Colonial Soldiers that problem is now behind us. From research based on county court minutes and orders, bounty land applica- tions and warrants, records of courts martial, county militia rosters, Hening's Statutes at Large, the Draper manuscripts, and manuscripts in the Public Record Office in London, we now have an authoritative register of Vir- ginia's colonial soldiers — a register so comprehensive that it may cause the genealogical history of Virginia to be re-written.

Nor is it merely a dry catalogue of names and dates. The military found it necessary, for instance, to resort to "size" rolls to prevent multiple enlistments by the same soldier and to apprehend those who deserted. The size rolls published here routinely give, the soldier's place of nativity, age, residence, occupation, and physical descrip- tion. Sometimes the enlisting officer recorded his impres- sions of the soldier. John Williams was described as being fond of liquor, John Wade as having a villainous appear- ance, John Atwood as being thin-nosed, pock-pitted, and

in-toed, John Bridgman as being spare-made with a wrinkled visage, and Thomas Deekins as being a likely handsome fellow. Nor was frontier warfare genteel. John Potter was shot through his heel and had his jaw broken by a tomahawk in 1754, and William Shaw was taken pris- oner in 1756 and had his toes cut off one by one. And so on and on, though of course not all the records are so in- teresting and informative.

Little is known about the ordinary people of colonial Virginia, but though they left no diaries or journals, we have the rare privilege of coming almost face to face with them in this magnificent book.

"Once again, the Genealogical Publishing Company has done the genealogical community a notable service. . . . This volume loill be of interest to all who trace their ancestries to one or more colonial Virginians. The location of a prog- enitor in the commonwealth through colonial military- service records is now a matter of a minute rather than one of days of difficult research.. ..All citations are thoroughly referenced to original sources. The index to persons con- tains over 17,000 names with over 35,000 entries. There is also an index to places.... No researcher of forebears in colonial Virginia can afford to overlook this model of what a genealogical reference book should [^e." — NATIONAL GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY QUARTERLY Qune 1989)
