The Preußisch Stargard district was a Prussian district that existed from 1772 to 1920 with varying borders. It was in the part of West Prussia that fell to Poland after World War I through the Treaty of Versailles in 1920. Its county seat was Preußisch Stargard. From 1939 to 1945 the district was re-established in German-occupied Poland as part of the newly established Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia. Today the territory of the district is located in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship.

Arrived 1635 according to Passenger List Index COLDHAM, PETER WILSON. The Complete Book of Emigrants.
Francis Speight was born in 1614 in England. His parentage is unknown. He is our immigrant ancestor coming to America in 1635 at the age of twenty-one. Almost all Speight's in America (except the family of North Carolina Governor Richard Dobbs Speight whose line died out when his son went childless) descend from Francis Speight. He sailed from Gravesend, England aboard the ship, "Thomas and John", captained by Richard Lambard. Before the ship left the English port, a minister would have certificated that the Virginia bound passengers conformed to doctrine and practices of The Church of England, followed by an oath of allegiance to King James I.
It is anyone's guess as to what Francis might have been thinking and feeling the day he boarded the ship for America. He was leaving kin and friends. Sailing to America in the early 1600s was anything but a pleasant voyage. They usually did not leave on schedule because they had to wait for a favorable wind and a rising tide to get under way. This was before they had a steam-tug to pull the ship out to sea. The ships were crowded, cold, drafty, and damp. Passengers would have squeezed into any available space not taken up by the crew, cargo, baggage, and farm animals. The ships were never designed for passengers. Crossing the Atlantic was always a dreadful passage with most of the passengers getting sick. There was also the possibility that the ship would not make the voyage. Although the sailing vessels were well constructed and made of sturdy material, they were no matches for the fierce storms of the Atlantic. If the ship made the voyage one out of five passengers died en route. Living conditions were deplorable. The passengers ate poorly. They would have cooked a communal meal in a large cast iron pot. When the sea was rough, meals could not be cooked because of the danger of fire aboard the ship. For days they would eat raw food. Francis would have packed necessities for insuring his survival in the New World in a sea trunk.
He arrived at Jamestown, Virginia on June 16, 1635 after two and half months at sea with one hundred and three other passengers. Just twenty-eight years after the founding of Jamestown. Jamestown was commonly regarded as the first permanent English settlement in what is now the United States. Francis was among fifteen people indentured to Puritan leader William Eyres for seven years working on Chuckatuck Creek Plantation in what is now Suffolk, Virginia.. Indentured servants worked out their loans for passage money to America (known as a temporary white slave). If you were an indentured servant it was not the person, but the work of the servant that was owned by the master. That was a large different than a black slave being owned by their master. In the 1600s three-quarters of all English colonists served as indentured servants. Half of them died before their service was completed. One quarter remained poor afterward and the other quarter achieved a degree of prosperity. As a whole, women fared somewhat better than men. A female servant who had completed her service could easily find a husband. Francis was the first and only indentured servant of the Speight Family and the first one to have indentured servants working for him.
After his seven-year term as an indentured slave, on May 23, 1642 Francis received fifty acres of wilderness land from Mr. Eyres in Indian Branch (now Lake Prince in Suffolk, Virginia). This meant that Francis had saved enough money for the legal fees, tools, seed, and livestock needed to become a planter (which then meant farmer). Indian Branch was an important waterway. Flat bottom boats transported hogsheads of tobacco to market. Francis married in 1642 shortly after his land was deeded to him. Francis' first priority would have been building shelter and digging a well for his family. The family house would have been a thatched roof hut. Its roof was made by bundling reeds from a nearby swamp. "Cottages" had an end-hooded chimney and a hard packed dirt floor. In the English tradition they were called cottages not cabins or huts. In the spring of 1643 the Speights were blessed with their first child, John. In 1644 the Opechancanough Indians attempted to run the colonists from their land, killing almost five hundred colonists, but the population had grown too large for them to succeed.
After eight years at Indian Branch, Francis and his family moved eight miles south through wilderness to land located on Old Major's Creek and Mill Creek, which was later named Speights Run, which made up the head waters of the Nansemond River. The journey would have been a tedious, tiresome, and dangerous one. There were no roads, dangerous Indians. Again Francis' first priority would have been to build shelter and to dig a well for his family. In 1650 Francis Speight and James Arrorke jointing patented fifty acres on the north side of Speights Run. In 1653 Francis and his wife had their second child, William. In 1654 at the age of forty, Francis, his wife, and two sons made their final move to a three hundred acre tobacco farm in Sunbury, North Carolina. This land was located on higher ground bordering a stream (present day Raynor Swamp) that connects with Bennett's Creek, which flows into the Chowan River. Locating near the waterway was necessary for transporting the half-ton tobacco packed hogsheads. For the third time Francis would have to build shelter for his family. One of the reasons for moving would have been to obtain fresh land as tobacco quickly depleted the soil.
Life for Francis and his family was not easy. They had to be strong. Routine tasks of plowing, planting, tool sharpening, baking, mending, washing clothes, grinding corn, milking cows, butchering meat, brewing beer (water was usually contaminated), and other backbreaking efforts required to keep a Virginia plantation together. Raising tobacco was a very labor-intensive job (picking suckers, worms, and insects from the tobacco plants). The fields were cleared and barns built. From sunup to sundown, each family member worked at tasks necessary to survive. Later in 1654 Francis acquired six indentured servants. This group consisted of five males, Abraham Standford, James Prouce, Alexander Dunbarr, John Jackson, Thomas Lightoll and one female, Mary Wells. With the arrival of help, work began on a large house. Mrs. Speight and Mary Wells would have had their hands full feeding eight adults and two children plus all the other daily tasks.
Francis still owned the land at Speights Run and in 1664 he gave that land to his oldest son, John who would be known as "John of Speights Run". Since the land had been left uncultivated for ten years it was ready once again for growing tobacco.
By 1682 Francis was a widower and closed his house at Sunbury. He went north and patented five hundred acres of land on Somerton Creek (now Pittmantown), Virginia where he lived until his death. At this location he had ten indentured servants, Eliza White, John Harris, Walter Price, William Booker, Hum Green, Edward Harris, Richard Catach, Jane Catach, Thomas, Frost, and Richard Jones. This was the largest and last piece of land owned by Francis. In the winter of 1684 Francis died at the age of seventy. The burial place of Francis is unknown. He could be buried in Pittmantown, the place he spent his last two years or more likely he was taken back to Sunbury where he would be laid to rest beside his beloved wife on their plantation. | SPEIGHT, Francis (I29761)

As found in Burch Book Records it states: He was a Mayflower passenger together with his father Stephen Hopkins and sister Constansa.
Addl Info:
BAPTISM: 30 January 1607/8 at Hursley, Hampshire, England, son of Stephen and Mary (Kent?) Hopkins.
MARRIAGE: Catherine Whelden on 9 October 1639 at Plymouth.
CHILDREN: Mary, Stephen, John, Abigail, Deborah, Caleb, Ruth, Joshua, William, and Elizabeth.
DEATH: Between 5 March 1688/9 and 16 April 1690 at Eastham.
Giles Hopkins was baptized on 30 January 1607/8 in Hursley, Hampshire, England, to parents Stephen Hopkins and his first wife Mary (Kent?). It should be noted that the long-standing Constance Dudley myth was disproven in 1998: the Hopkins family of the Mayflower was not from Wortley, Gloucester as had been previously speculated and published.
Giles came with his family on the Mayflower in 1620, at the age of 12. He volunteered for service in the 1637 Pequot War but was not called. He married Catherine Wheldon in 1639 at Plymouth; the family moved shortly thereafter to Yarmouth, living there for about five years before moving on to settle at Eastham, where he died sometime between 1688 and 1690.

Biography
Early Years
Giles Hopkins was the eldest son of Stephen Hopkins of Plymouth. He was born in England, and came over with his father's family in the Mayflower in 1620. Along with the other members of his father's family, he survived the first winter's sickness, which swept off so many of that company. Of his boyhood days, little appears.
He appeared to have been of a retiring disposition, only forward when duty compelled. In 1637, the Pequots, a tribe of brave Indians inhabiting the eastern part of Connecticut, commenced war with the English in that region. Plymouth Colony concluded to send a company to assist in the overthrow of the Indians, so Giles, with Stephen, his father and younger half-brother Caleb, volunteered to go out in the company in the defense of his Connecticut neighbors. Happily for the company, before they were ready to go forth, the troops, under Captain Mason, had 'vanquished' the enemy, and the company was not needed.
The next year, Stephen Hopkins was allowed by the Old Colony court 'to erect a house at Mattacheese,' now Yarmouth, 'to cut hay there' and 'to winter his cattle.' It is supposed his son, Giles, went down there and had charge of his cattle. The permission given to Stephen in 1638, however, to build a house on the Cape specified that he was not to leave Plymouth permanently. It was not until 1639 that the Plymouth Colony Court authorized a permanent settlement in Yarmouth. At any rate, Giles was in Yarmouth in 1639, and with Hugh Tilley and Nicholas Sympkins, 'deposed' to the last will and testament of Peter Warden, the elder, deceased.
Marriage and Adulthood
While in Yarmouth, Giles cultivated the acquaintance of a young lady by the name of Catherine Whelden, supposed daughter of Gabriel Wheldon. They married on October 9, 1639 in Yarmouth, Plymouth Colony, New England. They soon became the occupants of the first house (as is supposed) "built by the English on the Cape below Sandwich." Its location, says Swift's History of Old Yarmouth,
"was in a field belonging to Capt. Charles Basset, about 75 yards northwesterly from the house of Mr. Joseph Hale."
The house he occupied while a resident of Yarmouth stood a little to the northwest on the declivity or knoll. It is believed by Mr. Amos Otis to have been the first house built below Sandwich, and certainly it must have been, if it were the one built by Stephen Hopkins by order of Plymouth court. Mr. Otis, in his account of Andrew Hallett, Jr., says it was sold by Giles Hopkins in 1642 to Mr. Hallett.
It would seem that Giles Hopkins was not a resident of Yarmouth in 1643, as his name does not appear in the list of those able to bear arms that year in the township, but evidence is quite conclusive that he was a resident June 6, 1644. At that date his father made his will, and several times speaks of Giles being at Yarmouth in charge of the cattle. It is probable he was not enrolled on account of being physically unable to do military duty.
Later, the town of Nauset was founded just beyond Yarmouth. Among the founders was Giles Hopkins' brother-in-law, Nicholas Snow, married to his full-sister Constance (Hopkins) Snow. By 1650, Giles had also settled in Nauset (which was to change its name the following year to Eastham). In what year he removed to Nausett, or Eastham, is not known. He was there in 1650, occupying the position of surveyor of highways, which he subsequently occupied for several more years. For some reason, now inexplicable, his father's will, made Caleb, his younger son by Elizabeth Fisher Hopkins, his 'heir apparent,' and consequently the whole of his real estate, which was large, passed into the hands of Caleb upon Stephen's death. Caleb Hopkins, soon after his father's death in July, 1644, gave a very large tract of land to Giles, his only surviving brother, located in what is now Brewster.
As his half-brother Caleb's heir (Caleb was a mariner, and died single on the West Indies island of Barbados before 1657), Giles came into possession of several more large tracts of land. In 1659, he also had land granted him in Eastham. In 1662, with Lieut. Joseph Rogers and Josiah Cooke, he had liberty allowed him by the Colony court to look out for land for his accommodation between Bridgewater and Bay Line. In 1672, with Jonathan Sparrow and Thomas Mayo of Eastham, he purchased Sampson's Neck in what is now Orleans, then called by the Indians 'Weesquamseutt.' The tract was a valuable one; it embraced the territory between Higgin's river on the north, and the Potonumecot river on the south.
Giles Hopkins seems to have been a very quiet man, caring but little for public positions. He was in 1654 drawn into a lawsuit by the noted William Leveridge, who had defamed him. Giles Hopkins claimed damages in the amount of 50 pounds. Mr. Leveridge was ordered to pay 2 pounds and some shillings for the offense.

June 4, 1650, he is named as one of the surveyors of highways for Nauset (later Eastham).
Oct. 3, 1654, Giles Hopkins in an action of defamation against William Leverich obtained judgement for L20 and 10s. 6d. costs of the suit.

'In 1662 with Lt. Joseph Rogers and Josiah Cooke he had liberty to look out for land between Bridgewater and the bay line.

Death
The latter years of Giles Hopkins' life were of weakness, so much so that he was not able "to provide for" his and his wife's support, and he agreed that his son Stephen take all of his "stock and moveable estate" and use it for his and his wife's comfortable support. The exact date of Giles Hopkins' death is not now known, but there is reason to believe it occurred in the latter part of March or early part of April, 1690. His wife, Catherine (Wheldon) Hopkins, survived his passing. The exact date and place of her death is also Unknown.
Will
The will of Giles Hopkins bears the date January 19, 1682, and a codicil was dated March 5, 1689. It was presented for probate and proved on April 16, 1690, indicating his death shortly beforehand. The executor was his eldest son, Stephen Hopkins. The witnesses to the will were Jonathan Sparrow and Samuel Knowles, his neighbors; the witnesses to the codicil were Mark Snow and Jonathan Sparrow. Mark Snow was his nephew, being the eldest son of his sister, Constance (Hopkins) Snow. He mentions no daughters. His landed estate he disposed of to his sons: Stephen, Joshua, Caleb, and William. To Stephen he gave all his land, purchased or unpurchased, "at Satuckit" within the lines defined. To Caleb and Joshua he gave in equal parts all his purchased or unpurchased upland and meadow in Paomet, one third part of Sampson's Neck, all his land lying in Pochet, and all other land that fell to him "as a purchaser," aside from what was given to their older brother, Stephen Hopkins. To his son, Joshua Hopkins, he gave meadow at Namskaket, and after his mother's death "the housing and land" given her for her use during her life. For the support of his son, William, who appears not to have been able to care for himself, he left means in the hands of Stephen, the executor, and his widow "Catorne" [aka Catherine]. William was to have a living out of the estate "during his natural life in a comfortable decent manner," but he did not long survive his mother's passing.

At some point Gordian III became aware of his General Philip's intentions. Seeking a compromise he apparently offered to resign as Augustus and to reassume the position of Caesar (junior emperor) under Philip. But Philip was not interested in compromise. Knowing the outcome in advance, Philip put it to the soldiers to vote for whom they wanted, him or Gordian. And so on 25 February AD 244 near Zaitha on the Euphrates the soldiers elected Philip emperor and Gordian III was killed. The senate though was informed he had died of natural causes.

At the orders of her brother, she was devoted to virginity, a situation she did not find to her liking. Circa 449 she was apprehended in a love affair with the overseer of her estates; both supposedly were engaged in a plot to seize power for Honoria. As a result, her lover was executed and she was exiled to Constantinople. She then appealed for help to Attila the Hun, at which the eastern emperor Theodosius II, who already had enough problems with the Huns, immediately dispatched her back to Italy -- with the recommendation that Valentinian turn her over to Attila. Valentinian, meanwhile, was enraged, and only spared her life because of the earnest entreaties of their mother. She then was compelled to marry a reliable senator named Flavius Bassus Herculanus and subsequently she was kept under close guard.

At the site of Thomas Huntley's grave, there is a headstone which has Thomas Huntley and Zilpha S. Meadows inscribed. An unknown family member has paid for the headstone restoration and the original is unknown or underneath.
James Allison wants further proof of this connection, and I have considered his assertion of absolute proof, but feel with the daughter being named Zilpha (after the mother) and the recollections of others, I am happy that burden of proof is not absolute, but most likely. Sarah was purportedly the middle name of Zilpha and they are probably one in the same as mentioned in the 1802 will of Thomas. I am happy to concede Zilpha Sarah Meadows is not proven, but remains as best lead until further documentation if ever comes to light.
See below by James:
The Meadows surname was brought to the attention of Huntley family members by John Wilson Huntley, after the year 1914. Prior to that time, the Meadows information was unknown to the Huntley family.
Zilpha was later added as the first name by an unknown individual to a DAR application. Prior to 1975, the DAR was less stringent about source documentation to prove family lineage. I have copies (available to anyone who is interested) of the pages from John Wilson Huntley's Ledger #2, which mention the claim that Meadows was the surname of Thomas Huntley's wife. I understand that John Wilson Huntley's original ledgers are in the South Carolina Archives. The ledger entry on pages 42 to 43 regarding the Meadows surname follows:
"The Wadesboro Ansonian March 18th 1914 Since writing my last, I have been asked whom the first of setler Thomas Huntley married I could not then answer the question but think I can now, with some degree of certainty. Having ascertained that a considerable part of the land around about where Thomas Huntley lived was once owned by the Meadows family, I use this as a key to unlock the mistery, having in my rambles, called on Rev. Joe Ratcliff (col) [(colored)] I asked him if he knew where Thomas Huntley settled, the answer was he did then I asked him whom Thomas Huntley married, whereupon he assumed a meditative mood, saying that he knew if he could think, so I called over several prominant families, asking him if he married any of those, and he answered me in the negative, I then called the name Meadows and he slapped his hands and said yes, yes, yes - I asked him what her given name was, He said he [she] was a sister of Obediah Meadows I have written it just as I received it."
Does this ledger entry meet modern standards of genealogy proof or was it just speculation by Rev. Joe Ratcliff?
Also, the recent grave marker at the traditional site of Thomas Huntley's burial, identifies his wife as Zilpha S. Meadows. Prior to the recent grave marker, there was a brick encasement with a metal plaque, which was heavily damaged (and the plaque was stolen) by vandals in the 1940's. Clearly, whatever an original gravestone (if there was one) from the early 1800's recorded, has now been lost. The use of "Zilpha S. Meadows" on the recent grave marker is arbitrary. What about "Sarah"?
To this day, no other source documentation has come to light concerning the Zilpha Meadows claim.
