| 12501 | WikiTree ID: Reade-10 Colonel George Reade, Esq. Immigrated to Virginia in 1637 Married Elizabeth Martiau about 1641 Virginia Secretary, Acting Governor, House of Burgesses, King's Council Ancestor of US President George Washington Origin Colonel George Reade was the son of Robert Reade,[3] Gent., and his second wife, Mildred Windebank.[4][5] He was baptized at Linkenholt, Hampshire in 1610. He was born at Linkenholt Manor, Hampshire, England, probably about 1608, into a very prominent and well-documented English family, the Reade family of Facombe.[citation needed] A possible date of birth is enscribed on his headstone: 25 October 1608, however no birth record has been found to substantiate this date. Associations Brother Robert Reade was the private secretary to Sir William Windebanke who was Secretary of State in England. Immigrated to Virginia George likely immigrated to Virginia with Sir John Harvey's party, when Harvey returned to the colony under orders of the king to fulfill the office of Governor. George is first documented as being in Virginia in a 1637 letter written to family in England. He wrote that he was "still at the Governor's House."George was a friend and loyal supporter of Governor Harvey and Secretary Kempe. Family George married in 1641 at Charles River County, Virginia to Elizabeth Martiau, daughter of Nicholas Martiau. They were probably married at her father's plantation, at the site of present-day Yorktown. Elizabeth's age at the time of her marriage is uncertain (see her profile). Researchers disagree about the children of Col. George Reade and Elizabeth Martiau. According to du Bellet in Some Prominent Virginia Families, and also Richardson in Royal Ancestry, there were seven children: five sons, George, Robert, Thomas, Francis, Benjamin, and two daughters, Mildred (Reade) Warner and Elizabeth (Reade) Cheesman. Van horn of the Nicolas Martiau Descendant Association agrees, identifying both George and Elizabeth as children.According to McAllister, George and Elizabeth had five children, four sons (Robert, Francis, Benjamin and Thomas) and one daughter, Mildred, who married Augustine Warner. Their oldest child, daughter Mildred Reade, married Colonel Augustine Warner Jr., of Warner Hall, and the daughter of this marriage, Mildred Warner, married Lawrence Washington, the grandfather of George Washington. Children of George and Elizabeth Martiau: Mildred Reade[1] (born 2 October 1643, died 1694),[citation needed] married Col. Augustine Warner.[1] Robert Reade[1] (born ca. 1644, died before 16 March 1722/23 in York Co., Virginia), married Mary Lilly ca. 1688.[citation needed] George Reade[1] (born ca. 1648) died without issue; Gov. Berkeley gave him a bay mare in 1665.[citation needed] Francis Reade[1] (born 1650 York Co., died ca. 1694), married 1st Jane Chisman, 2nd Anne Unknown.[citation needed] Elizabeth Reade[1] (born ca. 1654, died 18 November 1717 in Charles Parish, York Co., Virginia),[citation needed] married Capt. Thomas Cheesman.[1] Benjamin Reade[1] (born ca. 1667, one of the two youngest, minor in 1687), married Mary Gwynne/Gwyn, daughter of Edmund/Edmond Gwyn.[citation needed] Thomas Reade[1] (one of the two youngest, minor in 1687), married Lucy Gwynn, daughter of John Gwynn and granddaughter of Col. Hugh Gwynn.[citation needed] The following profiles are NOT children of George and were detached (possibly they are grandchildren, as some of the older texts can be confusing): Andrew Read Margaret Reade Mary Reade Ann Reade Virginia Government George Reade was involved in Virginia government from the moment of his arrival in 1637, as he was appointed acting Secretary of the colony in 1637.[11] and was Acting Governor in 1638/9,[11] when Governor Harvey was recalled to England. On 27 August 1640, he was officially elected Secretary of the Virginia Colony.[5][12][8] He was Burgess for James City County in 1649, and again in December 1656[7] for York.[11][13] In 1652, he served as a Justice for York County.[8] George served as a member of His Majesty's Council, elected March 13, 1657/8.[7] He took the oath of office on April 3, 1658,[13] and served until his death in 1671.[7][11] In 1659 he was named Colonel of York County.[5] Middle Plantation Soon after their marriage in 1641, George and Elizabeth established a plantation home at Middle Plantation (later Williamsburg), Virginia Colony.[8] By 1652, the family had removed to Yorktown; Stoudt suspects it was to be near Elizabeth's ageing father.[8] Death and Legacy The will of Colonel George Reade was probated 20 November, 1671.[14] He was buried at Grace Episcopal Churchyard, Yorktown, Virginia, and his wife was later buried at his side.[1][15] The gravestones of both George and his wife, Elizabeth, were discovered buried while excavating on Buckner Street in Yorktown. In 1931, descendant Letitia Pate Evans had them restored and moved to the churchyard of Grace Episcopal Church in Yorktown, York County, Virginia.[16] Unfortunately, the new stones contain errors. George Reade's stone says he died in Oct. 1674, "he being in the 66th yr of his age."[6] The death date should be 1671 (will probated). Therefore, either the age shown or year of his birth (or both) must be incorrect. (For errors on the stone for Elizabeth Martiau, see her profile.) The Find a Grave memorial includes a photo of George Reade's stone.[6][17] Lineage In addition to being descended from Magna Carta Surety Barons (see below), Col. George Reade was the 9th Great-grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II through his daughter Mildred to the Bowes-Lyons family[18] (Queen Elizabeth, wife of George VI, parents of Queen Elizabeth II). Colonel Reade is also the great-great-grandfather of the first U.S. President, George Washington (also through his daughter Mildred). | READE, Col. George (I594779433)

| 12502 | WikiTree Sep 2024 Biography 1776 Project Captain John Carney served with 1st North Carolina Regiment, Continental Army during the American Revolution. What follows abstracts material collected by Jim Carney, a presumptive direct descendant of John Carney.[1] Some census data places John Carney's North Carolina birth before 1750. K Johnson attributes his birth as 15 Apr 1748. Martha "Patsy" Carney, the last daughter, was born about the time the family likely traversed Natchez Trace, about 1783, when they settled in the newly formed Whites Creek, Davidson County, North Carolina, later Tennessee. At that time, more than 80% of western North Carolina was still Indian Lands, surrounding Davidson County. Settlers were isolated in this territory, numbering about 200. In 1795, hostilities with the Indians ended. Of note is that Tennessee was not formed until 1790, when it was entirely organized and ceded from western North Carolina. Some of the birth location attributions may have had more to do with realigned borders, as opposed to resettlement. Historians postulate that John Carney was related to William and Arthur Carney. Both were Indian Traders, documented regionally from 1783 onwards in towns including St. Augustine, Pensacola, Mobile, Chickasaw Bluffs, New Orleans Fernandina, Bon Secour, et al. Other traders of note were Turner Brashear, Lachlan and John McGillivray, John Turnbull, and others. Turnbull has a close family relationship with the Carneys, in local records including the Brashears (Brassiers) and the Leflores. Another John Carney, Half-Sibling of John Carney, and DNA Testing DNA testing of several Carney Family volunteers has confirmed the Mississippi John Carney (born 1775) line is related through an exact match with 46 markers to the Tennessee John Carney (born 1748) line. Despite the speculation of other researchers, this evidence suggests that we should not merge Iklannabee (often referred to as John Carney, especially later in his life) into the John Carney born in 1748. Instead, it is presumed that they were half-brothers. Arguments are well-described in the RootsWeb source material, giving logistics on birth dates for each of the men and their children. John Carney in The Records During the American Revolutionary War (ca. 1775-1783), John Kearney (Carney) was assigned to the Army of General George Rogers Clark and Crockett's Regiment, with Richard Brashear, who was at Cahokia 31 May 1780. Crockett's Virginia Regiment: Lt. Colonel Joseph Crockett; Major George Walls; Surgeon Charles Greer Captains: John Chapman (killed); William Cherry, John Kerney, Benjamin Kinley (died), Peter Moore, Abraham Tipton, Thomas Young Approx 650 men in the Crockett regiment. See https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/4241740.pdf?refreqid=fastly-default%3Aef43e48bb9f65ae02a09f1ebc5be9371&ab_segments=&origin=&initiator=&acceptTC=1 John is the son of Arthur Kearney, who married Celeste Brashear. Most of Richard Brashear's regiment resettled in Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama. Kinship probably facilitated John's resettlement of his family after service from North Carolina to Tennessee following the war. "The men in Captain Roger's Old Militia Company lived in the North East part of Davidson County from Dry Fork/Whites Creek to Sycamore Creek."[2] John Carney appears in the records of 1787, about four years after his arrival in Davidson County, as a juror in a trial: "Defendant came to plaintiff('s) house, picked up a chair, knocked plaintiff down, (and) bit his thumb."[3] Father John Carney and sons William and Elijah are later mentioned in the 1798 Sumner County Tax Roll. Sumner County was formed from the east portion of Davidson County. A year later in 1799 they are also mentioned in a Davidson County road improvement filing: "Isaac Earthman to oversee the Road beginning at the foot of The ridge thence to the head of Long Creek, down said creek about one mile to the tree marked with a large O with all lands above Dry Fork East & West of said Creek To wit: William Smith, JOHN CARNEY, WILLIAM CARNEY, ELIJAH CARNEY... and all taxables (taxable persons) in (said) bounds."[4] Elijah CARNEY and Vincent CARNEY both bought more land holdings on Dry Fork Creek on the same day (6 Jun 1809) from Frederick Stump. 1812 John CARNEY and William CARNEY bought land on nearby Marrowbone Creek in February 1812. On 7 Feb 1812, the worst earthquake in US history occurred in Northwest Tennessee, when a large land mass dropped several feet, tidal waves occurred, and a back-flow of the Mississippi River resulted in the formation of the 13,000-acre Reelfoot Lake. John Carney bought 40 acres at Marowbone, land known as "Edward Blackburn's old place" on 25 Mar 1812. Later, it is noted there were four of these men (John, William, Elijah and Vincent) listed on the rolls of the 1812 Davidson County Militia. John and William were in one regiment, and Elijah and Vincent were in another. It is believed that this John was not a participant, but it would have been nephew John Jr (born 1775), as this John would have been in his 60s. It cannot be ascertained with certainty if these Militia members were involved in only defense or saw any action in nearby states against the Spanish. Militia members were not entitled to land grants following the war. Such grants were reserved for those serving three years in the regular military. We find JOHN KERNEY in the 1830 Davidson County, Tennessee Census 2 males - under 5; 1 male - age 15/20; 1 male - 80/90; 1 female - under 5; 1 female - age 15/20; 1 female - age 20/30; 1 female - age 60/70; 1 female - age 80/90. This indicates that John remained married as late as his eighties. This is the last mention that we find of John Carney in the records. Children William CARNEY, b. 1770, South Carolina d.

OLD RESEARCH NOTES: John Carney was born in North Carolina around 1748-1750, as determined from censuses of him and his children. K. Johnson has birth as 15 Apr 1748. Most of his children were also born in North Carolina, but some (if not several), as noted on the Census rolls including sons William, Elijah and Vincent, and daughter Lucy - may have been born in east North Carolina/Tennessee. Martha "Patsy" Carney the last daughter was born about the time the family may have came up through the Natchez Trace in 1782/83 and settled in White's Creek, Davidson County, North Carolina (later Tennessee), which had just formed as a county in 1783. At that time, over 80% of western North Carolina was still Indian Lands which surrounded Davidson County isolated in the middle of this semi-hostile territory with only 200 able bodied men in all settlements. Until the Indian wars ended in 1795, only a trickle of settlers entered. It is important to note, that Tennessee was not formed until 1790 as it was entirely organized and ceded from western North Carolina. It is possible, some of the family children did not move far at all from their birth places and the borders were what moved. It is suspected John Carney was related to William and Arthur Carney, who were Indian Traders found trading in these areas from 1783 onwards, in towns such as St. Augustine, Pensacola, Mobile, Chickasaw Bluffs, New Orleans Fernandina, Bon Secour, etc. Other traders of note were Turner Brashear, Lachlan and John McGillivray, John Turnbull, and others. Turnbull has a close family relationship with the Carneys as seem to be locally the Brashears (Brassiers) and the Leflore's DNA testing of several Carney Family volunteers has confirmed the Mississippi John Carney (B: 1775) line is related through an exact match with 46 markers to the Tennessee John Carney (B: 1748) line. Despite other researchers speculation, we cannot merge Iklannabee into John Carney (B: 1748) who is believed to be his half-brother. Reasons: (1) This John Carney has children with sufficient documentation proving that they were born and partially raised in the North Carolina and then arrived in Tennessee territory in 1783 - Iklannabee birthdate firmed up about 1758 and would have been father at 12. (2) Iklannabee was Indian in appearance, and ½ breeds were not then allowed to own land in Tennessee/North Carolina or serve as juror. (3) It is shown in several Censuses that John and his children were never mentioned to be anything other than white. The plausible conclusion as evidenced by the DNA testing and rolls, censuses, land deeds, etc is that Iklannabee of Mississippi and John Carney (B: 1748) of Tennessee have the same father, believed to be the same Indian Trader who plied his wares in Indian Territory. The Choctaw Indian Territory extended from Mississippi to eastern Alabama and up the Natchez Trace into Tennessee. The first mention of John Carney in official records is in 1787, four years after arrival confirmed when he was a juror in a trial.

Elijah CARNEY and Vincent CARNEY bought more land holdings on Dry Fork Creek on the same day (6 Jun 1809) from Frederick Stump. John CARNEY and William CARNEY bought land on nearby Marrowbone Creek in February, 1812. John Carney bought land known as "Edward Blackburn's old place" on March 25, 1812 - 40 acres on Marrowbone. This follows the worst earthquake in U.S. History which occurred February 7th in Northwest Tennessee where a vast land area drops several fee, tidal waves and a back flowing Mississippi River result in 13,000 acre Reelfoot Lake. During the war of Independence from English rule, John Kearney (Carney) was assigned to The Army of General George Rogers Clark and Crockett's Regiment with Richard Brashear who was at Cahokia on 31 may 1780. John is believed to be related to Arthur Kearney, who married Celeste Brashear indicating at least a familiarity with the Brashear family further strengthening the connection to Arthur as John's relative. Most of Brashear's regiment resettled in Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama. This would fit with John's resettlement of his family after service from North Carolina to Tennessee in 1783 following the war. Source Book: "Pioneers of Davidson County, Tennessee" - By: Edythe R. Whitley "The men in Captain Roger's Old Militia Company lived in the North East part of Davidson County from Dry Fork/Whites Creek to Sycamore Creek" By 1790, The newly formed United States had 230,000 immigrants from England, and the second most prolific immigrants were 142,000 settlers from Ireland. Together with other immigrant nationalities and all their descendants, the population was now 3,929,326. In 1917, The Irish (later termed Scotch-Irish in 1970's), begin deserting Ireland following 100 years of leasing land with oppressive rents by absentee Anglo landlords and a crumbling linen trade, famine and droughts. The Presbyterians who predominated the Irish were disadvantaged by the Penal laws of the Church of England, but were just a likely to become Methodists and Baptists upon settlement in America. It is estimated over 200,000 Ulster Irish-Scotts relocated to America, followed my more when the potato famines later occurred. Most of the earlier settlers found there independent and unique ways were unwelcome in Boston, Philadelphia, etc unlike the potato famine refugees in later years, and found themselves traveling to the backwoods of America and the Appalachian region, settled almost exclusively by these Irish. The typical migration involved small networks of related families/clans that settled together, intermarried and avoided outsiders. After many years of English oppression in Ireland, these Irish were ardent patriots of their new land America. Later, it is noted there were four of these men (John, William, Elijah and Vincent) listed on the rolls of the 1812 Davidson County Militia. John and William were in one regiment, and Elijah and Vincent were in another. It is believed that this John was not a participant, but it would have been nephew John Jr. (B:1775) , as this John would have been in his 60's. It cannot be ascertained with certainty if these Militia members were involved in only defense or saw any action in nearby states against the Spanish. Militia members were not entitled to land grants following the war, only those who served for three years in the regular military. We find JOHN KERNEY in the 1830 Davidson County, Tennessee Census 2 males - under 5; 1 male - age 15/20; 1 male - 80/90; 1 female - under 5; 1 female - age 15/20; 1 female - age 20/30; 1 female - age 60/70; 1 female - age 80/90. This would indicate he was married as late as his eighties, but to whom it is not known. The rest of the family is well documented in the area for years to come with children, families, extended families etc, but further mention of John Carney after 1830 is not confirmable in context to be our John Carney, and his death was believed to be around 1838. | CARNEY, Capt.

| 12503 | WIKITREE: Stephen Hopkins was baptised on 30 April 1581 at Upper Clatford Parish, Hampshire, England, the son of John Hopkins[1][2][3] and Elizabeth Williams. Shortly after his birth and baptism in Upper Clatford, the family moved to Winchester. Marriages Stephen Hopkins first married Mary Kent[4][5] by 13 May 1604 (baptism of a child) with a residence in Hursley. She died (no proof that it was of plague) while her husband was in Bermuda, on 9 May 1613, and was buried at Hursley, Hampshire. She bore him three children. Stephen married second, Elizabeth Fisher 19 Feb 1617/18 at St. Mary's, Whitechapel, London.[6][4][7] Mayflower Families (1975)[8] stated that she died after 4 Feb. 1638/9. But a later edition (2001)[9] revises her death date to "before 06 Jun 1644, the date Stephen executed his will. February 4, 1638/9 is the date of the Plymouth court session that weighed the situation of Stephen Hopkins' pregnant servant, Dorothy Temple; Stephen's wife is not mentioned.[10] She was certainly dead by the time her husband executed his will as he directs his executor to bury him beside his deceased wife.[11] Together they had seven children. Children of Stephen and Mary Kent All baptized at Hursley:[12] Elizabeth Hopkins, bp. 13 May 1604, living in 1613 when she was mentioned in her mother's estate records; no further record found. Constance Hopkins, bp. 11 May 1606; m. Nicholas Snow, by 22 May 1627, when they appeared in Stephen Hopkins' "Companie" in the division of cattle. Giles Hopkins, bp 30 Jan. 1607/8; m. Plymouth, 9 Oct. 1639, Catherine Wheldon.[13][14] The parish registers of Hursley contain the following baptismal entries, transcribed from the original Latin:[15] (1604) decimo tercio die maij Elizabetha filia Stephani Hopkyns fuit baptizata [13th day of May, Elizabeth, daughter of Stephen Hopkins, was baptized] (1606) undecimo die Maij Constancia filia Steph Hopkyns fuit baptizata [11th day of May, Constance, daughter of Steph(en) Hopkins, was baptized] (1607/8) tricesima die Januarij Egiduis Filius Stephani Hopkyns fuit baptizatus [30th day of January, Giles (Egidius is the Latin form of the English name Giles), son of Stephen Hopkins, was baptized.] The following burial record was also discovered, entered in English: (1613) Mary Hopkines the wife of Steeven Hopkines was buried the ix (9th) day of May. Children of Stephen and Elizabeth Fisher The children of Stephen and Elizabeth (Fisher) Hopkins:[9] Damaris Hopkins, b. say 1618, d. before 22 May 1627 (division of cattle). Either Damaris or Oceanus must have d. before the 1623 land division, which indicates as Robert Wakefield has shown, that there were then five members in Stephen Hopkins' family.[16] Oceanus Hopkins, b. on the Mayflower (and named to memorialize that) between 6 Sept. and 11 Nov. 1620 (Old Style), the dates that the ship was at sea, d. before 22 May 1627 (division of cattle) and possibly before the 1623 land division. Caleb Hopkins, b. say 1623, living Plymouth, 30 Nov. 1644, when he signed an agreement with Richard Sparrow to rear his sister Elizabeth, d. Barbados, before spring 1651, when Bradford called him deceased. Deborah Hopkins, b. Plymouth, say 1626; m. Plymouth, 23 April 1646, Andrew Ring (widow Mary).[17][18] Damaris Hopkins (again), b. Plymouth, say 1628 (after May 1627 [division of cattle]); m. shortly after 10 June 1646 (antenuptial agreement), Jacob Cooke (son of Francis of the Mayflower).[19][20] Ruth Hopkins, b. say 1630 (after 22 May 1627 [division of cattle]), d. unmarried after [30 Nov.?] 1644 (distribution of father's estate) and before spring 1651 (since Elizabeth must be the unmarried sister mentioned by Bradford). Elizabeth Hopkins (again), b. say 1632 (after 22 May 1627 [division of cattle). She had left Plymouth by 29 7m [Sept.] 1659 when the process of settling her estate began; the records, however, are careful not to state that she was dead. Voyage on the Sea Venture (1609) Jamestown ships Steven arrived in Jamestown aboard the ship Sea Venture in 1609. It is stated by some that Stephen Hopkins, prior to his migration on the Mayflower, was hired as a clerk for Reverend Richard Buck, assisting aboard the 300-ton "Sea Venture,"[21][22][23] one of a fleet of 7 ships and 2 pinnaces that started a voyage from Plymouth, England to the Virginia Colony on July 23, 1609 and travelling with Sir Thomas Gates, Deputy Governor of the Virginia Colony, and "the old sea rover" Sir George Summers, Admiral of the Seas. The fleet was caught in a hurricane that began July 24, causing much damage.[24][25] The Sea Venture was wrecked on 28 July 1609, driven ashore on the uninhabited Somers Island in Bermuda with 150 men, women & children. The group survived on birds, wild hogs and turtles. A year later, survivors reached Virginia in a small boat they had built. During the sojourn Hopkins undertook to persuade others that it was no breach of honesty, conscience nor religion to decline from the obedience to the Governor since the authority ceased when the wreck was committed. His arguments prevailed little and he was placed under guard, brought before the company in manacles and the Governor passed the sentence of a Martial Court upon him such as belongs to mutiny and rebellion. But so penitent he was and made so much moane...that the whole company besought the Governor and never left him until we had got his pardon. This contemporary account of events is included in William Strachey's record of the voyage and the wreck of the Sea Venture, which also notes that while Hopkins was ultra religious, he was contentious and defiant of authority and had enough learning to undertake to wrest leadership from others. Strachey wrote, "Yet could not this be any warning to others who more subtly began to shake the foundation of our quiet safety. And therein did one Stephen Hopkins commence the first act or overture, a fellow who had much knowledge in the Scriptures and could reason well therein, whom our minister therefore chose to be his clerk to read the psalms and chapters upon Sundays at the assembly of the congregation under him; who in January the twenty-four [16101 brake with one Samuel Sharpe and Humfrey Reede-who presently discovered it to the governor-and alleged substantial arguments both civil and divine (the Scripture falsely quoted!) that it was no breach of honesty, conscience, nor religion to decline from the obedience of the governor, or refuse to go any further led by his authority, except it so pleased themselves, since the authority ceased when the wrack was committed, and with it they were all then freed from the government of any man; and for a matter of conscience it was not unknown to the meanest how much we were therein bound each one to provide for himself and his own family. For which were two apparent reasons to stay them even in this place: first, abundance by God's providence of all manner of good food; next, some hope in reasonable time, when they might grow weary of the place, to build a small bark with the skill and help of the aforesaid Nicholas Bennit, whom they insinuated to them -- albeit he was now absent from his quarter and working in the main island with Sir George Summers upon his pinnace-to be of the conspiracy, that so might get clear from hence at their own pleasures; (that) when in Virginia, the first would-be assuredly wanting, and they miglff-well rear to be detained in that country by the authority of the commander thereof, and their whole life to serve the turns of the adventurers with their travails and labors."[26][27] Although there is no complete list of the shipwrecked party who eventually reached Jamestown in the 2 pinnaces Patience and Deliverance built on the islands, Hopkins did not remain on the Somers Islands and the conclusion is that he traveled to Jamestown with the others before returning to England.[28] Life on the island of Bermuda proved to be so easy, that when Sir George Summers ordered a smaller ship be built from the wreckage of the Sea Venture to take the survivors to Jamestowne, some members of the crew refused to cooperate. In September 1609 there were "dangerous and secret discontents" among the seamen, who tried to lure the would be settlers to the cause of abandoning the effort to reach Jamestown. Before they could carry out their plan, Governor Gates discovered their plot and gave them their wish. They were deposisted on a remote island without provisions, insted of sentencing them to death, the usual punishment for this type of offence.[29] [30] In January, the following year, another rebellion brewed and this time, their leader was Stephen Hopkins. He was apprehended and tried for mutiny and given a much harsher sentence than the sailors, sentenced to death. He was both the captain and only follower of this revolt so death seems rather extraordinary, given the light sentence previously imposed on the group of sailors. It may be due to him verbally opposing Gates right to authority when he spoke to the two listeners. He pleaded for his life, for the sake of his wife and children, so eloquently that he was pardoned. That may be due as much or more to William Strachey and Vice Admiral Christopher Ward who came to Gates asking for leniency. "With humble entreaties and earnest supplication...[we] nebver left him until we had got [Hopkins'] pardon."[31] [32] Jamestown (1610) flag of the Jamestowne Society Steven Hopkins is a Qualifying Ancestor of the Jamestowne Society What do Jamestowne, the Mayflower and Shakespeare have in common? The answer is Stephen Hopkins, a Jamestowne settler,[33] a Mayflower Pilgrim and a survivor of the wreck of the Sea Venture, supposedly the basis for Shakespeare's comedy, "The Tempest ". In May, 1610, the survivors reached Jamestowne. His mutinous efforts in Bermuda gained him such notoriety that Shakespeare wrote him into "The Tempest" as the plotting butler. While "The Tempest" contains only one direct reference to the Bermudas, when Ariel tells how Prospero called him 'to fetch dew...From the still-vex'd Bermoothes' , Stephanos could easily refer to Stephen Hopkins, a caricature portrayed as a drunken clown or court jester with ambitions of grandeur. William Shakespeare moved in the same circle as a fellow writer, William Strachey. Both were writers. Strachey wrote a letter dated July 15, 1610, to an unnamed 'Excellant Lady'. The letter was started while in Bermuda and finished in Jamestown. [34] This letter was the original abbreviated account of the temporary exile and trip to Jamestown. A longer and more polished version was written after he became secretary of the Colony and was published in 1625, now known as A True Reportory. Both the letter and the longer account would have circulated quickly among the Londoners belonging to the Virginia Company. He may have even learned about the voyage from the sailors returning home or from his friends, the Earls of Southampton and Pembroke, who had business interest in the expedition. The theory is that Stephen Hopkins remained in Virginia until at least late 1614, when the death of his wife (May 1613) forced his return to England. A brief English docket item dated 20 September 1614 records a letter was sent "to Sir Thomas Dale Marshall of the Colony in Virginia, to send home by the next return of ships from thence Eliezer Hopkins"[35] Apparently, an examination of the court record by Michael J. Wood verified that this is the correct reading, and the docket item does not refer to Stephen Hopkins. But, as is so often the case, the name could have been entered into the court record incorrectly. The original letter is lost. The date fits when that sort of an order would have been issued for Stephen. If he didn't leave then, he may have finished out the 7 year indenture agreement and left 1616.[36] Back in England (1614-1620) Back in England, Mary's Probate was executed at Hursley, Southhampton, England.[37] We learn from this record that they were shopkeepers, there was a lease on the home and she is listed as a widow, though the burial record calls her his wife. We can assume that the administrator or court thought it more expedient to list her as a widow so the estate could be available for their children's care more quickly, especially since they didn't know if he was alive or dead.[38] Stephen married Elizabeth Fisher in 1617/8. Their home had been just outside of London Wall on the high road entering the city at Aldgate in the vicinity of Heneage House. In this neighborhood lived John Carver and William Bradford of the Mayflower Company; Robert Cushman, the London agent for the Pilgrims; and Edward Southworth, who later came to New England. Perhaps wanting more adventure, he returned to the New World, this time with his wife and three children as they joined the voyage of the Mayflower in 1620. Mayflower Passenger (1620) Stephen Hopkins was invited to and did return to America aboard the Mayflower departing London before the end of June, 1620, with his second wife, Elizabeth, and children, Constance (Constanta), Giles, and Damaris. A fourth child, Oceanus, was born on the ship during the voyage. Hopkins signed the Mayflower Compact on November 11, 1620.[39] At the time of the voyage, he was considered a tanner or leather maker, but later was a merchant and planter.[40] Hopkins was one of twelve Mayflower passengers given the title "Mr." which was reserved for men of high societal standing. This is also reiterated by the fact that he brought along two servants, Edward Leister and Edward Doty. On the 6th of December Stephen Hopkins, in the company of 17 other men, Capt. Standish at the head, started on a second voyage of discovery, with the shallop, which lasted 5 or 6 days, during which they had an encounter with the Indians. They entered Plymouth bay and landed on the 11th of December. In Pilgrim Hall, Plymouth, Mass., there is a painting by Henry Sargent, a Boston artist, a member of the family to which the celebrated John Singer Sargent belongs. A group of men, women, and children are greeted by the Indian chief, Samoset. In the background, a portion of a ship with a British flag can be seen. Text printed under image identifies the figures as: I. Allerton & wife; Elder Brewster; F. Billington; William White & child; Richard Warren; John Turner; Gov. Bradford; John Alden; Gov. Carver & Family; Miles Standish; Samoset; John Howland; Wife of Standish; Steph. Hopkins, wife & child; Gov. Winslow; E. Tilley; Dr. Fuller; Mrs. Winslow[41][42] Life in New England "Steuen Hobkins" received six acres in the 1623 division of land, indicating five people in his household (since Stephen should have had an extra share).[43][44] In the Division of Cattle, 22 May 1627, the seventh lot "fell to Stephen Hopkins & his companie Joyned to him"; wife Elizabeth Hopkins, Gyles Hopkins, Caleb Hopkins, Debora Hopkins, Nickolas Snow, Constance Snow, Wil[l]iam Pallmer, Frances Pallmer, Wil[l]iam Palmer Jr., John Billington Sr., Hellen Billington, and Francis Billington.[45] That Stephen Hopkins was a man of more than ordinary force of character and influence is shown by the part he played in the early history of the colony. In Howard and Crocker's Popular History of New England, we read: "No one can ponder the annals of the early settlement of New England without being profoundly impressed with the rare excellency of the material that went into its foundation. Consider the names of such primitive Pilgrims as Carver, Bradford, Brewster, Standish, Winslow, Alden, Warren, Hopkins, and others."[46] And Moore, in his Lives of the Colonial Governors, says, "Of the Pilgrims who remained in 1634, Stephen Hopkins, Miles Standish, and John Alden were the most prominent individuals. Hopkins was the one of the principle magistrates...Stephen Hopkins was not only one of the first men among the Pilgrims, but he had extraordinary fortune in being concerned with many of the first things that happened to the colonists, whether for good or for evil. Thus, he was one of the signers of the first Declaration of Independence in the New World-the famous Compact, drawn up and signed in the cabin of the Mayflower, November twenty-first, 1620; it has been called 'the nucleus around which everything else clustered-unquestionably the foundation of all the superstructures of government which have since been reared in these United States.[47] Stephen Hopkins headed a list of persons chosen to arrange for trade with outsiders-- a sort of incipient chamber of commerce. He was added to the Governor and Assistants in 1637 as an assessor to raise a fund for sending aid to the Massachusetts Bay and Connecticut colonies in the impending Indian War. In the same year, he and his two sons, Giles and Caleb, were among the forty-two who volunteered their services as soldiers to aid these same colonies. We find also him repeatedly mentioned as an appraiser of estates, administrator, guardian, juryman (foreman, apparently), etc. On 18 June 1621, Edwards Doty and Leister (Mr. Hopkins' two servants) fought what was the first duel on record in New England, with sword and dagger. Hopkins petitioned for the release of his servants from cruel punishment. Both were wounded, one in the hand and the other in the thigh. They were sentenced by the whole company to have their heads and feet tied together and so to lie for 24 hours without meat or drink, 'but within an hour, because of their great pains, at their own & their master's humble request, upon promise of better carriage, they are released by the governor.' [48] Stephen Hopkins also became Indian Ambassador of the Plymouth Colony, during which time he befriended and invited the famous Native American, Squanto, to live in his home. He went with Governor Winslow and Squanto on the first embassy sent to the Massasoit to conclude a treaty. It was in Hopkins' home that the first ever Indian treaties were signed. As Indian Ambassador, Stephen Hopkins participated in the arrangement and planning of the first Thanksgiving. Mr. Hopkins opened the first bar, built the first port of ships and erected the first trading post in American history. He was engaged in trade, selling liquors and various other articles. He was charged at times with abuse of his traffic in liquors and with selling liquors and other articles at excessive rates, according to the views of the period, but he never lost the confidence of the leading men. In January 1633, Hopkins became assistant to the new governor of the colony, Edward Winslow. The former Governor, William Bradford and Miles Standish served as assistants also. He was chosen for this position three years in succession, 1632-5. Jan. 1, 1632/3.[49][50] He was also chosen one of the council for the ensuing year, Edward Winslow being chosen governor. On Jan. 10 of the same year, he was a member of a court that tried a servant who had run away. The servant was privately whipped before the court. Jan. 2, 1633/4: He and John Jenny were the appraisers of the estate of Samuel Fuller, the elder, which included about 30 books.[51] Oct. 1, 1634: He was appointed the first of a committee to treat with the existing partners as to the future management of the trade.[52] Oct. 2, 1634: He and Robert Hicks took the inventory of the goods of Stephen Deans.[52] June 7, 1636: John Tisdale, yeoman, brought an action of battery against Mr. Hopkins, assistant to the government, by whom he alleged he was dangerously wounded. Hopkins was fined L5 sterling to the use of the King, whose peace he had broken, wch he ought after a special manner to have kept, and was adjudged to pay 40s. to the plaintiff.[52] Jan. 1, 1634/5: ""Mr. William Bradford was elected gouernour, & to enter vponit the first Tuesday in march next ensueing, & to serue from the same time one whole yeare. "At the same time wer elected for Asistants, to enter with the Gouernour the day aboue mentioned, and to continue the whole yeare, -- Mr Tho. Prince, Mr Edward Winsloe, Mr John Alden, Mr Steuen Hopkins, Captayne Miles Standish, Mr John Houland, Mr William Collier."[52][53] Jan. 5, 1635/6: ": "Mr. ed: Winslow was chosen Gouer, and William Bradford, Tho: Prence, John Alden, Wm Collier, Steuen Hopkins, Tim: Hatherly, John Browne, Assistants… "At ye same Courte, Jane Waren sued Weekes for 50 li, which she had lent him, to be paid vpon demand. He was ordered to put so much goods into ye hands of Mr Hopkins & Kenelemne Winslowe as should contrauele ye money, & had 3 months time alowed to sell them, or other good, to make her paymente."[54] March 14, 1635/6: He was authorized to mow the marsh between Thomas Clarke and George Sowle, and it was ordered that he and Clarke have the marsh up the river as formerly.[55] Nov. 7, 1636: A way between his land and that of Thomas Pope, Richard Clough and Richard Wright, 'at the fishing point, neer Slowly Field,' is mentioned.[56] Jan. 3, 1636/7: Stephen Hopkins was an assistant on the same date he was made one of a committee to arrange an agreement with those that have the trade in theire hands and report to the court. March 7, 1636/7: In a list of freemen, dated, he is styled "gentleman." 7 March 1636: "Concerning the trade of beaver, corne, & beads, &c., with the Indians, it is agreed, by the consent of the Court, that they that now haue yt shall hold yt vntill the next Court, the beginning of June; and then further conference to be had for the mannageing thereof, that such further course may be taken therein as shalbe thought fitt. And in the meane season, Mr Hopkins, Mr Atwood, Mr Done, & Jonathan Brewster shalbe added to the gounor and Assistant, to aduise vpon such pposicons and wayes so as the said trade may be still continued to the benefit the collony."[57] March 20, 1636/7: Action was taken as to the use of the hay grounds and Mr. Hopkins was made one of a committee to view those grounds between the Eel river and the town of Plymouth, that each man might be assigned a proper portion. He and Thomas Clark were given the hay ground they had the past year.[58] May 10, 1637: A jury impaneled for the purpose rendered a verdict (which was delivered to the General Court July 7, 1637) laying out highways to the Eel river from Plymouth, which mentions Mr. Hopkins' house, one of the ways passing it on the west. June 7, 1637: He with the governor and assistants and other persons formed a committee to consider how the trade in beaver, etc., (which was likely to go into decay) might be upheld.[59] On the same date the committee of which Mr. Hopkins was a member reported that the expenses of the Pequot service would amount to L200, of which L100 was to be paid by Plymouth and L50 each by Duxbury and Scituate. Among the names of those entered June 7, 1637, who willingly offered themselves to assist the people of Massachusetts Bay and Connecticut in their warrs against the Pequin Indians, in reveng of the innocent blood of the English wch the sd Pequins have barbarously shed, and refuse to give satisfaccon for, were Mr. Stephen Hopkins and his 2 sons Caleb and Giles. The soldiers who volunteered for the Pequot war were, however, not required to take the field. On the same date Mr. Hopkins for the town of Plymouth was 1 of 2 men who, together with the governor and assistants, were to form a board to assess the inhabitants for the expenses of that war. July 17, 1637: Stephen Hopkins sold for L60 lawful money of England, to be paid 1/2 on May 1, 1638, and 1/2 Sept. 29, 1638, to George Boare of Scituate his message, houses, tenements and outhouses at the Broken wharf towards the Eel river, together with the 6 shares of land thereunto belonging, containing 120 acres. October 2, 1637: He was appointed one of a committee for the town of Plymouth to act with the governor and assistants and committee from Eel river, Jones river and Duxbury in agreeing upon an equal course in the division of about 500 acres of meadow between the Eel river and South river.[60] 2 January 1637/8: "Presentment by the Grand Jury. "1. William Reynolds is psented for being drunck at Mr Hopkins his house, that he lay vnder the table, vomitting in a beastly manner, and was taken vp betweene two.

[61] Death & Legacy Stephen Hopkins died in Plymouth between 6 June 1644 (date of his will) and 17 July 1644 (inventory of his estate).[62] Among the earliest wills probated at Plymouth, Massachusetts, was that of Stephen Hopkins, 6 June 1644 - August 1644, directing that he be buried near his deceased wife, naming son Caleb, "heir apparent," mentioning other children and naming Captain Myles Standish as overseer of the will.

Myles Standish and Caleb Hopkins with Richard Sparrow that Sparrow would have "Elizabeth Hopkins as his owne child untill the tyme of her marryage or untill shee be nineteene years of age," noting "the weaknes of the Child and her inabillytie top[e]rforme such service as may acquite their charge in bringing of her up and that shee bee not too much oppressed now in her childhood wth hard labour...." On 15 8th month [Oct.] 1644, Richard Sparrow acknowledged receiving "the half of a Cow from Capt MIles Standish wch is Ruth Hopkins," and on 19 May 1647, Myles Standish acknowledged receiving "two young steers in full Satisfaction for halfe a Cow which was Ruth hopkins which Richard Sparrow bought of me..."[63][64] The "Cattle that goeth under the Name of Elizabeth hopkinses" were valued on 29 7th month [Sept.] 1659, and an inventory of her estate was taken on 6 October 1659. On 5 October, the court ordered that, "incase Elizabeth hopkins Doe Come Noe more," the cattle be awarded to Gyles Hopkins, and that he not "[d]emaund of, or molest...Andrew Ringe or Jacob Cooke in the peacable enjoyment of that which they have of the estate of Elizabeth hopkins."[65][66] From The Mayflower Society: Stephen Hopkins was one of the most adventurous of the passengers aboard the Mayflower. He traveled with his second wife, Elizabeth (Fisher) Hopkins, and children Constanta, Giles and Damaris. Elizabeth was pregnant during the voyage and gave birth to a son Oceanus while at sea. Two indentured servants accompanied the family, Edward Doty and Edward Leister. Stephen was baptized at All Saints Church, at Upper Clatford, Hampshire, England, on the last of April, 1581, the son of John and Elizabeth (Williams) Hopkins. He died at Plymouth, between 6 June and 17 July 1644. Stephen married 1) before 13 May 1604, Mary Kent; he married 2) at St. Mary Matfellon, Whitechapel, Middlesex, 19 February 1617/18, Elizabeth Fisher. This was not Stephen's first voyage to the New World. In 1609 he signed on as a minister's clerk, aboard the Sea Venture at Plymouth, England, the flagship of a fleet of seven headed to Jamestown, along with Jamestown's Governor Sir Thomas Gates and the Rev. Richard Buck. Stephen left his wife Mary and three children behind and would be gone seven years. After a hurricane which sent their damaged ship to Bermuda, they spent many months repairing it so they could continue to Jamestown. During this time, Stephen argued that the Governor had no authority over them while they were on land. He was found guilty of "Mutinie and Rebellion" and sentenced to death. He was so penitent, asking the court to consider the plight of his wife and children, that he was pardoned. The group eventually made their way to Jamestown and spent the next few years rebuilding the colony. When Stephen returned to England by 1616, he learned that his first wife had died. Stephen Hopkins was a signer of the Mayflower Compact, signed at Provincetown, 11 November 1620. In the 1623 land division, he received six acres. The cattle division of 1627 lists he and his wife Elizabeth, with children Gyles, Caleb, Deborah, and daughter Constance and her husband Nicholas Snow. Stephen's experiences in Jamestown made him valuable to the Plymouth settlement. He helped determine a suitable place to settle, and his dealings with the Native Americans were especially helpful. When Samoset and Squanto began their visits to Plymouth in 1621, they were housed in Stephen Hopkins' home. It was also Hopkins who was chosen by Governor Carver to go with Edward Winslow and first approach Massasoit. Stephen went on to serve as an Assistant of the Governor for many years, however he sometimes found himself on the other side of the law. In 1636, in his office as Assistant, he was fined £5.40s for breaking the King's peace in dangerously wounding John Tisdale. At least three times he was fined for allowing men to drink excessively at his house, and several times fined for charging excessive prices for liquor and goods. Children of Stephen and Mary (Kent) Hopkins: Elizabeth Hopkins, baptized at Hursley, 13 May 1604; died after 1613. Constance Hopkins, baptized at Hursley, May 11, 1606; died at Eastham, mid-October, 1677; married at Plymouth, circa 1626, Nicholas Snow and they had 12 children: Mark, Mary, Sarah, Joseph, Stephen, John, Elizabeth, Jabez and Ruth Snow, as well as three children whose names are not known. The possibility that one of the three unknowns may be the wife of Daniel Doane has not yet been proven. Giles Hopkins, baptized at Hursley, 30 January. 1607/08; died at Eastham, between 5 March 1688/89 and 16 April 1690; married at Plymouth, 9 October 1639, Katherine Whelden and had ten children: Mary, Stephen, John, Abigail, Deborah, Caleb, Ruth, Joshua, William and Elizabeth Hopkins.

He died at Ramsey between 16 September 1533 (the date of his will) and 17 December 1533 (the date of probate), and was buried in the Church of St. Michael the Archangel at Ramsey. He is identical with the man whose name Mr. W. T. R. Marvin did not know (though he suspected it might be John), who is No. 7 in the English Ancestry, and appears on pp. 31 and 38-41 in that work. Mr. Marvin, however, believed him to be a son of John (M14P-R9X), and ANCESTRY OF REINOLD AND MATTHEW MARVIN 5 grandson of Roger Mervyn (KNDQ-HCV) of Ipswich; and it has been shown that that belief is erroneous. John Mervyn Was a man of very considerable wealth. In his will, he disposed of lands and tenements in the parishes of Ramsey, Great Oakley [Myche or Much Ockley] and Little Oakley., The names of some of his lands were Janecoxe, Waxe, Bennettes, Rolfes, Nether lands, Gesses, Brandons, and Milkes. He also had interests in the town of Harwich, which he left to his brother Thomas, a resident of that town. John Mervyn married MARGARET (L5GX-1NN) -—— , who survived him, and was co-executrix of his will. From the terms of the will, it is obvious that she was the. mother of all his children. She was undoubtedly the "Widow Marvin" (L5GX-1NN) who was taxed 153.on her movables at Ramsey in the Lay Subsidy of 1540 (English Ancestry, p. 38). The date of her death is not known. Children (order uncertain): 5. i. JOHN (9HGG-SBS), "my eldest son," co-executor of his father 's will, of age in 1533, b. (say) 1510. 6. ii. RAYNOLD, REINOLD or RYNALDE (9HW4-1JW), under 21 in 1533, b. (say) 1513. 7. iii. THOMAS (L417-K9R), under 21 in 1533. iv RICHARD (LD79-MML), under 21 in 1533. v. JOHN the younger (K2JK-9YR), under 21 in 1533. vi MARGARET (K489-9KR) unmarried in 1533, apparently later m. JOHN COOPER (LT54-C3M), of Harwich (see English Ancestry, pp. 41, 56, 166, 167). He was buried at St. Nicholas 's Church, Harwich, 29 July 1580. She was bur. there 20 Dec. 1587, leaving a. will, dated 8 Dec. 1587, which was proved 24 Jan. 1587/8. Children (surname Cooper; order of older ones uncertain): 1. Thomas (LR5S-G8J), b. before 1559, when the Registers of St Nicho1as's, Harwich, commence. 2. Peter (LZJR-SBP), b. before 1559. 3.

Owen (LZJR-378), bap. at Harwich 14 Aug. 1564; d. before his mother (K489-9KR). vii. CHRISTIAN (LC5B-V72), unmarried in 1533, later m. THOMAS HERDE (K4V3-7NP), of Ramsey (see English Ancestry, pp. 39, 83, 84; Descendants, pp. 15, 16). She d. shortly before 14 Oct. 1561. Her husband, survived her, and was executor of the will of his brother-in-law Thomas Mervyn (L417-K9R) (No. 7). They had issue, viii. MARION (LKVF-497), unmarried in 1533, later m.

| 12522 | Will of Jeremiah Bunch 8 March 1796 Bertie, NorthCarolina Son: Henry Bunch, Jeremiah Bunch, Nehemiah Bunch, Frederick Bunch, William Bunch, Nannie Bunch Collins, Jeremiah Bunch Sr and his brother Embrey Bunch were listed as "householders" in Bertie County NC in 1755. Their father Henry Bunch's will is probated in Bertie NC in 1775 and he appears to have done well as he is able to distribute money, possessions and his land and plantation and (sadly) some slaves to his children (Jeremiah, Tomerson, Susannah, Rachel, Nanny and Embrey) and grandchildren (Cader and Zadock) They were all very active in land records of Bertie County from the 1760's onward. They are farmers, planters and plantation owners. Jeremiah Bunch Senior deeded land to his grandson Jeremiah Bunch, son of Jeremiah Bunch Junior. All 3 generations of Jeremiah Bunches lived and died in Bertie Co. They appear to be very religious according to their preponderance of Biblical family names along with the Williams and Henrys. Jeremiah and Nehemiah being very notable. Many of them attended local congregations, gave land and support to and involvement in their churches and at least 2 became ministers. The Jeremiah Bunches belonged to churches that also allowed African Americans as members. Sadly slavery is accepted as ok. Apparently some had an unusual amount of and sophistication of carpentry tools suggesting a possible vocation in carpentry. There is a very nice Jeremiah Bunch Plantation home of about 1800 vintage in Bertie County. Some of the early descendants of Henry and Jeremiah Bunch moved into a variety of states: South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee to name a few. | BUNCH, Jeremiah Sr. (I594769199)

| 12537 | Will: August 03, 1760 Halifax Co., NC Probate: March 1761 Halifax Co., NC Peter Hayes and Martha Sledge are reported by some to have had 12 children one of whom was John Hays. (Once in North Carolina the spelling of the name changed from Hayes to Hays) His son, John Hays and his wife Phebe had at least six children one of whom was another John Hays (1735-1782). Peter joined the migration of settlers pushing south into the great virgin forests of the Tidewater, after the Tuscarora War. From the earliest records it would seem that Peter who homesteaded on Urashaw Swamp, and his sons, were more interested in buying and selling land than in farming. The many grants and estate transfers in which they were involved would indicate that the Hayes men obtained a comfortable living from real estate, or what would be considered comfortable in those frontier days. INFO: Peter Hayes of Urashaw born on the Hayes Blackwater plantation in Isle of Wight Co. Just across the river in Surry County was the plantation of Charles Sledge. Peter married Martha Sledge, daughter of Charles. Peter Hayes was the executor of Mary (Clarke) Sledge's will (Boddie, Southside Va. Families, Vol. I, p. 366). The record of a grant of 640 acres in the Urashaw Swamp region has not been found, but it is mentioned in a land transfer. In 1720 Peter Hayes and his eldest son William were listed as having arms and able to defend the colonies against the Indians. This list constitutes a military roster for Capt. Patterson's company, and was made up of all the male residents of the upper part of Chowan Precinct, an area today found in Hertford and Northampton Counties. (Hathaway, Register, Vol. I, p. 443). His will dated August 3, 1760 and probated in March 1761 in Halifax County, North Carolina, names his wife Martha as executrix and gives each of his younger children five shillings. His wife was to have the estate and to see that the childr4en were educated and cared for. The three eldest children were not mentioned in the will; they had been established with their own families.

| 12538 | Will: May 07, 1678 Isle of Wight Co., VA Probate: March 10, 1678/79 Peter Hayes matriculated at Queens College, Cambridge, England. He then entered Law School and was under the protection of his cousin Thomas Hayes, Lord Mayor of London (1614-1615). Afterwards he became employed by James Hay, Lord Doncaster, who was a Scottish Noble, and held the office of Master of the Wardrobe. James Hay was also a councilor and diplomat. In 1622 James Hay became Earl of Carlisle. In 1628, a dispute arose in the West Indies as to who was the Governor. King James had granted these islands to the Earl of Carlisle, but Phillip Herbert, Lord Montgomery claimed them and had placed an illegal Governor in Barbadoes. King Charles sent a Royal Commission to arrest the illegal Governor, and Peter Hayes was appointed envoy with the Royal Comission to the West Indies. The work of the Commission ended in 1640 and Peter Hayes continued on to Virginia where his father was already established on Pagan Creek, (Southern Genealogies #1, Historical Southern Families, Vol. XV, FTM CD 191) //////////////////// Will of Peter Hayes W: 07 May 1768 P: 10 Mar 1678 Leg: mother Sister: Ann Cornish Reversion to my cousin Thomas Bevan (Son of Thomas Bevan).

He lived his life on the Blackwater River, that waterway which flows directly south to North Carolina. At maturity he was employed by Robert Flake Sr., a wealthy landowner. Robert Flake is said to have been one of the richest men in Isle of Wight County (Boddie, Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight Co., p 202.) Peter Hayse married Elizabeth Flake about the year 1669. Peter left his will, probated Mar 1720/21.

These parcels of land were located on "the second swamp of the Blackwater". The Quit Rent Roll for Isle of Wight County, 1704, shows Peter Hayes paying taxes-rent on another 600 acres which seems to have been the dowry of his mother, Elizabeth Flake.

Marriage 3 Nov 1695 in Newport Parish, Isle of Wight. Virginia. Married Martha Flake, Daughter of Robert Flake IV. Brother of Samuel Hayes ( first of three) 1685-1728, Arthur Hayes 1691-1776, Katherine Hayes 1696-____, Richard Hayes 1700- 1766. Samuel Hayes I, died near Jonestown Road, before 4 Jan 1728. Arthur Hayes died near Jonestown Road in 1776. Richard Hayes died after 6 April 1747 on Three Creeks, Surry County, Virginia. In 1720 Peter Hayes becomes a planter ( sharecropper) for William Brasswell and Hardy Councell both living in the Isle of Wight area. On 10 November 1721, Peters father, Peter Hayes III dies on the Hayes Blackwater plantation (present day Jonestown Road) where his wife Elizabeth was given 600 acres to be divided between three sons after her death. In 1720, Peter Hayes, Samuel Hayes, and Peter's son William Hayes they follow Braswell, Hardy Councell, and William Bennett south into Chowan Precinct. On 13 August 1728, Peter Hayes is listed on a deed of William Brasswell who is the next door neighbor to the East of Hardy Councell On Plaquet Branch ( Dick Harmony Road). Peter is working as a planter on the plantations on Urahah Swamp and nearby plantations. Sometime in 1728 Peter is deeded / Paid 100 acres on Plaquet Branch and Antonkey Marsh (Dick Harmony Road on Urahah Swamp) for planting work he has done for Hardy Councell, (the property is basically worthless swamp land that adjoins the plaquet Branch Swamp following the swamp up to the west border of William Brasswell on Urahah Swamp). Peter Hayes realizes that he has been swindled by Hardy Councell and leaves and moves to three Creeks in virginia. On 4 January 1731, Peter buyes 100 acres from James Atkinson. Peter sends word to his brother Richard in Chowan that he needs help to work his patent. On 8 May 1733, Hardy Councell aknowledges the sale of 100 acres to Peter Hayes on Plaquet Branch. On 19 August 1733, Peter Hayes' mother dies on the Hayes Blackwater Plantation. Peter Hayes and his brother Richard are living on Three Creeks. On 9 November 1736 a petition was read in Bertie Precinct in open Court. concerning the taxation of worthless swampland on Plaquet Branch. On 22 Feb 1743, Peter Hayes is finally able to sell his 100 acres to John Sherrard. On 22 Sep 1743, Peter Hayes and his Brother in law withness a land deal on Three Creeks, Surry, Virginia. On 6 April 1747 Peter witnesses a 185 acre deed from his brother Richard Hayes to Joseph Tharp. Richard Dies soon afterward. On 20 Sept 1784, Peter gets awarded a land patent of 130 acres adjoining his 100 acres on Three Creeks. Peter begins to have debts pile up. On 6 March 1749, Peter was forced to sell 100 acres of his 230 acre tract to Henry Ivey Jr. 13 March 1754, Peter Hayes IV became heavily indebted to John Frances Hilliard and for partial payment of debts, sold his remaining 130 acres to him. Peter and Martha Hayes due to poverty were forced to go live with Peters son Reuben Hayes in Halifax. After Peter's death on 1 Mar 1761, he was still heavily indebted to John Francis Hilliard and in 1786 ( some 25 years later) at the estate closure of his grand-son Arthur Hayes, Peter's debts were finally paid in full. It has been rumored that Peter Hayes IV lived on Cashey Swamp, however that is not the case. The Peter Hayes that lived on Cashey Swamp who married Bether (Beatrice) Watson. was the son of Thomas Hayes and Sarah his wife. Who also had a son named Richard. And Thomas Hayes (1706) and John Hayes (1705), the John Hayes Planter who gifted Jesse Hayes, Son of Arthur Hayes and Mary Winborne 100 Acres on Urahah Swamp in 1778, the same John and Thomas Hayes that bought land in Elk Marsh, Halifax, North Carolina, were the sons of Peter Hayes IV. Sawyer Hayes, was also the son of Peter Hayes.

| 12542 | William Arnold (24 June 1587 – c. 1676) was one of the founding settlers of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, and he and his sons were among the wealthiest people in the colony. He was raised and educated in England where he was the warden of St. Mary's, the parish church of Ilchester in southeastern Somerset. He immigrated to New England with family and associates in 1635. He initially settled in Hingham in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but he soon relocated to the new settlement of Providence Plantation with Roger Williams. He was one of the 13 original proprietors of Providence, appearing on the deed signed by Roger Williams in 1638, and was one of the 12 founding members of the first Baptist church to be established in America. After living in Providence for about two years, Arnold moved with his family and others to the north side of the Pawtuxet River forming a settlement commonly called Pawtuxet, later a part of Cranston, Rhode Island. He and his fellow settlers had serious disputes with their Warwick neighbors on the south side of the river and, as a result, separated themselves from the Providence government, putting themselves under the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. This separation from Providence lasted for 16 years, and Arnold was appointed to keep the peace as the head of the settlement. He died sometime during the great turmoil of King Philip's War in 1675 or 1676. His son Benedict succeeded Roger Williams as President of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations in 1657, and he became the first Governor of the colony under the royal charter of 1663. | ARNOLD, William (I594766953)

Some sources state incorrectly that William of Lincoln's Inn was also married to Dorothy Tuttle. Our majority of sources dispute this and record Dorothy married to William's son Alling Sr. [SOURCE: Larry Chesebro' - CHESEBRO' GENEALOGY] One of four Attorneys in the office of pleas in the Exchequer. Capt. Ball married three times first to Joanna King, second to Dorothy Tuttle and third to Alice Waltham. | BALL, Capt. William (I2646)
|
| 12545 | William Ball was born in 1615, studied law in London and served in the Royal Army in the Civil Wars under Charles I. With the regicide in 1650, he lost the greater part of his English estates and fled to Virginia. He had married Hannah Atherall (Atherold) 2 July 1638 in London and immigrated to Virginia with his wife and three children--Hannah, Joseph, and William. He did not apply for a land grant in Virginia for eight years, waiting for the restoration of the 1660 Stuart kings. He settled in Narrow Neck (now Ball Point) on the west side of the Corrotoman River in 1663. Ball operated the vessel Merchant between England and Virginia as a tobacco merchant. He acquired 2000 acres in Virginia, served on an Indian peace-treaty council, and administered Lancaster County affairs as a Colonel. He built a Georgian mansion, Millenbeck, and led the defense of the county to help quell Bacon's Rebellion. One of his land grants for 300 acres adjoined the land of Daniel Fox, who married his daughter Hannah. He was a Warden of Christ Church in Lancaster and also owned land in Rappahannock County. He served as a Burgess from 1699-1173 and was George Washington's great grandfather. ? He died at Millenbeck in 1680 and left his estate to his wife and two sons. THE BALL FAMILY FROM THE MT. VERNON LIBRARY: The Ball family line connects to George Washington through his maternal lineage. The first member of the Ball family to come to America was George Washington's great-grandfather, William Ball (1615- c.1680). In Virginia, Ball began acquiring land, engaging in commerce, and taking part in colonial politics. He served as a major in the militia of Lancaster County, Virginia, and as a member of the House of Burgesses from 1668 until 1676 and again from 1676 to 1677. During this time period, Ball had dealings with John Washington, George Washington's paternal great-grandfather. The four children of William Ball and Hannah Atherold were Richard Ball (died in Maryland in 1677), William Ball (II) of Virginia, Hannah Ball (later the wife of Colonel David Fox, and Joseph Ball (1649-1711). ======================================================== WILLIAM BALL IMMIGRATION RECORDS FROM LANCASTER COUNTY: William's earliest immigration date was recorded in Lancaster County, VA-24 OCT 1653. Certificate granted to Capt. Henry Fleet for importation of 21 people, including William Ball. (DB 1, p. 89) Lancaster County, VA-19 MAY 1657.

Lancaster County, VA-2 JUN 1657. Land Patent to Domick Theriott of Lancaster County, land on Clapham's Creek and adjacent to Edwin Conway, due for importation of 32 persons, including William Ball four times and Richard Ball.
