    Notes:

    "Selby Families of Colonial America" by Donna Valley Russell,

    Thomas Selby was probably born before 1630 and died at his plantation, Simpleton in Somerset County, Maryland, between 28 October 1701 and 24 October 1702. He married first (name unknown) by who he had a son Thomas. He married second in Virginia by 1656 Mary (maiden name unknown) Cornelius, widow of Jan Cornelius. She was the mother of his other children. He married third Ann Jones Rickards, daughter of Ann Jones Michaels and widow of Michael Rickards, Senior.

    Thomas Selby first appears in Virginia records on 27 November 1652, when John Brown of Northampton County was granted 1000 acres of land near Matchepongo at Phillips Creek for transporting twenty persons to Virginia, on of whom was Thomas Solbie. On 9 July 1657, Thomas Selby discharged a debt from Samuel Jones. On 9 January 1659, at a meeting held in the town of Accomack, the Court stated that future meetings would be held at the house of Mr. Thomas Selby. On the same day Thomas and wife Mary Sellbe sold to Jno. Willcock their 400 acre plantation on the north side of Hungar's Creek adjoining Major William Andrews. On 4 January 1660, Thomas Selby, planter, filed a deed recording a debt to Capt. William Whittington, also of Northampton County, for 3700 pounds of tobacco, due by 10 October next, with security of one gray mare called Jane and her increase, "Now at my plantation at Hungars Creek."

    Thomas was surely born by 1630, possibly in Ireland, but likely in England, if he was related to Daniel Selby who came to Virginia by 1670. Both settled in the part of Virginia which later became Worcester County, Maryland. Thomas was probably older, basedon the face that he had been married and had a son Thomas by the time he married Mary Cornelius (widow of Jan Cornelius), shortly after 1656. This earlier marriage is made clear by a document dated November 1694 in which Selby distinguishes between "my" son Thomas and "our" daughters. this document also identified Andrew Selby, as Thomas' brother. Thomas and Mary had three daughters by 1661. Mary is named as a headright when Thomas claimed land from Maryland, and died by 4 May 1674, by which time Thomas had married Ann Rickards, widow of Michael Rickards, Senr. this identification is established by the will of Ann's mother, Ann Michaels dated 4 May 1674 and a Northampton County deed of 29 July 1696, in which Selby was granted judgment for a debt against Francis Shipps.

    Thomas acquired a tract in Northampton County through his wife, Mary, which Jan Cornelius had purchased in 1652 from Ann Stockdell Ward and her husband, William Ward. Cornelius, who, with Mary, was claimed as a headright by Governor Samuel Matthews, was probably not transported by him, as the Governor's family had no known connections with the Eastern Shore. Cornelius had apparently been squatting on the land of Thomas Burbage, located near the land Jan later owned. On 9 January 1659, Thomas Selby and wife Mary sold the 400 acres to John Willcocks. This land was in present Franktown on the bayside of the county. By 1664, Thomas Selby acquired, probably from Robert Windley, although there is no record of the sale, 500 acres called Allen's Quarter, and during that year Thomas and Mary sold, or more likely mortgaged, the south half to Henry Bishop, which Selby repurchased two years late, and then sold the entire parcel to John Hopkins of Bristol, England. This tract was in the southern part of Accomack County in present Belle Haven Town, and is probably the land Selby was taxed on in 1663-1666.

    Thomas Selby's will was made on 28 October 1701; he died before 24 October 1702, when it was probated. He left his entire estate, house, plantation, and cattle to his un-named wife for her lifetime, except son Thomas was to have the use and privileges of the plantation and to maintain the fence in the neck used for watering the stock. After wife's death, if son Thomas died without lawful heirs, the estate was to go to testator's grandchildren Selby Clavell and Selby Onion, "now living in Virginia", both sons of his daughter Elizabeth Selby Clavell Onions. Jones Richard was allowed the privilege of Selby's pastrue while wifee Ann was alive. At her death, son Thomas was instructed to give the following grandchildren each a heifer: Selby Clavell, Elizabeth Baker, Comfort Clavell, Rebecca Clavell, John Onions, Thomas Onions, and Selby Onions. Also, at wife's death, son Thomas was to have the copper kettle, two feather beds, and furniture, "and also one feather bed and furniture belonging it to my grandson Thomas Selby."

    Additional headright and land information as well as other details on the will and estate are in the book on pages 13 16.
