WOOD CEMETERY
Located NE 3/4 of SW 1/4 of section 60, township 57, range 31 on the farm of the late Mrs. William Irminger, 1 1/2 miles southeast of Liberty, Missouri
Through the courtesy of the late Mrs. William Irminger, who subsequently became owner of the Wood farm, information was obtained of the Wood burial ground. The cemetery is about one hundred feet to the right of the house as it faces the main highway. But there is nothing there now to indicated this sacred spot of pioneer dust. The little fence that once surrounded it, had been removed, as has all the white Italian marble headstones, that once marked the different graves that laid out under the protecting arms of a tree. The ground has been plowed over, and all that remained was the decaying stump of this tree. A sad picture, but the march of time and progress seems to level all things, and those who laid the foundation of our great country, have passed into the forgotten realm. There were some headstones left, badly damaged and not easy to decipher. Here is the list of those found, though there are suppose to be many others. The information listed here was given by Virginia Stewart, Kansas City (1944). Miss Stewart is a descendant of William & Sarah Wood.

vi. Jesse Seamonds, born Abt. 1747 in Caroline County, Virginia; died Bef. 1829 in Stokes County, North Carolina; married (1) Millie Simmonds; died Abt. 1800; married (2) Nancy Tilly 07 Sep 1808 in Stokes County, North Carolina; born 1751 in Caroline County, Virginia.
Notes for Jesse Seamonds:
The above information comes from several sources and there is a conflict about dates. The family uses the spelling as Simmons.
Some soures have listed the date of his death as 1836 in Montieau, Missouri, others state he died in North Carolina. He is on the 1820 Stokes County, N.C. census with his children, Bell, John and Ephraim listed as heads of households. He is not on the 1830 census, either as head of household, or living with one of his sons. Jesse & Milly had 10 children. There were no children by his 2nd wife Nancy Tilley Hawkins.
Jesse served in the 3rd Virginia Regiment under Col. Buford at the battle of Charleston during May 1780. He then moved to Stokes Co., NC.
His wife Nancy Tilly Hawkins was a widow of William Hawkins when they married, she was also the mother-in-law of Jesse's son Bell.
These are some resources that have been given, it is impossible to prove which dates are correct.
In the book "Jeremiah Smith" by Stiffler, page 153 (Jesse Simmons was born in 1760, and lived in Stokes County, N.C. presumable of English descent. He came to Missouri with his family in 1830, and died in 1836."
In application (National #579996) by Anna Mary Simmons East, for membership to the D.A.R., descendant of Ephraim Simmons the information seems more accurate. It states (#566109) that Jesse was born 1745, probably Caroline Co., VA and died (1830) 1836 at Stokes Co., N.C. or Moniteau Co., MO and was married about 1766 to name unknown and she died before 1808.
The "Family Reunion Souvenir for the Descendants of Noah Simmons" book states Jesse died 1827 and Bell left his brothers behind in N.C. when he went to Missouri in September 1830, and the Pedigree chart shows Jesse was born in 1745, married ca 1766, and died ca 1828, in Stokes Co., N.C.

Notes for Thomas Stone:
Thomas Stone moved to Albemarle County, Virginia, purchasing land in 1775 and additional land on Marsh Run in 1779. (There was an earlier cluster of Stones in Albemarle, but they do not seem to have been related to the Marylanders.)
In a 1785 tax list he is charged with 12 white souls, 1 dwelling, and 6 other buildings.14 The 1810 census found Thomas, Henry, John and Kinzea, all prospering. There among the foothills of the Blue Ridge he and his wife Sarah raised eleven children, six boys and five girls, who are named in his will, dated 12 July 1812. Their dates of birth are mostly unknown, but can be estimated. Their marriage arrangements, like those many of their Virginia neighbors, led to some complicated kinships in later generations. Family members appear in court records of Albemarle and nearby counties. Although most of their children moved to new lands in the west with their families, some may have remained near the Blue Ridge.

Notes for William M. Golding:
Spotsylvania Co., VA; Estes vs Golding ~ Amended bill 1823
September 24, 1823
Fredericksburg Circuit Court
File 95
To the Honourable Wm. Brown Judge of the Superior Court of Chancery for the Fredericksburg District.
Humbly complaining shew to your Honour your Complainants William
Estes and Frances his wife, William Estes Jnr. Littleton Estes, Sarah
Harvey, and William Golding that the said Complainants William Estes,
William Estes Jnr, Littleton Estes Sarah Harvey and William Golding
heretofore filed a bill of complaint in the said Superior Court of Chancery against Reuben Golding Richard Golding John Golding Elizabeth Estes, Polly Pugh John Stone and Sally Stone, and now by way of amendment to the said Bill with leave of the Court for that purpose first had and obtained your Complainants respectfully shew to your Honour that William Golding formerly of Orange County made his last will and testament bearing date on the 13th day of March 1809 and died on the 26th day of August 1811 without altering or changing said will which has been duly presnd. & recorded in the County Court of Orange and a copy thereof is exhibited with the bill heretofore filed in this Cause as is prayed to be considered also as a part of this amendment. After the death of said testator the said Reuben and Richard Golding the Executors who proved and undertook the execution of said will delivered to Thomas Foster the specific devisee & Legatee named in said will the land & negro therein devised and bequethed to him which he sold & then removed to the Western Country where he died during the late war with G.B. intestate, insolvent, unmarried & without issue & no person has taken administration upon his estate in the state of Virginia. That the said Executors sold a portion of the testators estate immediately after his death and as your Complainants imagine has recd the whole or a considerable part of the proceeds thereof, but has not as yet fully accounted with the respective legatees many of whom purchased at the said sale for their respective shares thereof. Your Complainants further shew that Sarah Golding the widow of the testator and the tenant for life under the will departed this life in October 1818 intestate & not having intermarried with any person after the death of the said William Golding, possed of the real and personal estate devised and bequeathed to her by sd Wm Golding, and also possessed of & entitled to sundry Goods Chattels rights & credits
which she had acquired in her life time after the death of said testator.
That upon her death the said Reuben and Richard Golding as the testators Executors resumed possession of the personal estate which the said Sarah had held under the will & recd. the rents issues & profits of the lands. They also as Executors de son tort took possession of the proper Goods and Chattels of the said Sarah & Collected the debts due to her particularly sundry debts due to her for the hire of her negros. All of which they have converted to their own use & refuse to account with the distributees of the said Sarah for any part thereof. Your complainants further shew that after the death of the said Tenant for life the said Executors in order to effect a division sold the Real & personal estate held by her under the will which said sale was made by the said Executors without the knowledge or consent of several of the Legatees particularly Sarah Harvey, William Golding John Golding & Polly Pugh & probably others, under a belief that the said will empowered them to sell the same & indeed such were the impressions of your Complainant William Estes who became the purchaser of a part of the land as heretofore stated. But your Complainant the said William Estes has been since advised that the said Executor was not authorized by the will to sell either the said land or negros. That the authority to sell was confined exclusively to the negros which the testator directed to be divided immediately after his death and did not extend to the land & negros left to his widow. At any rate the authority to sell (if any) was conditional depending on the disagreement of the parties to a division in kind, which condition could not be ascertained to exist until the persons interested had in due form signified their election to have the property sold which was not done.
Your Complainant the said William is therefore advised that in this view
of the Case he has not a good title to the land so purchased by him
having a deed from the said executors alone and that it would be
competent for any of the devisees who may not have formerly assented to or subsequently ratified said sale to assert their rights to their shares
of said land hereafter, although your said Complainant should have paid
every cent of the purchase money, which your said Complainant apprehends would be done in the event of said Executors failing to pay over to them their share of the purchase money and this your said Complainant believes the said Executors will fail to do from their past conduct, & being imprudent & improvident and declining rapidly in their pecuniary concerns your said Complainant seriously apprehends the insolvency of said executors one of whom does not reside in this state & as it may be well questioned whether their securities would be bound for the acts of said Executors in relation to the funds arising from the sale of this land, the only recourse which would avail the said devisees would be to come against your Complainant for their shares respectively of the land. In this view of the case your said Complainant & the said William Estes Jnr & Littleton Estes his securities frankly ask whether it would be right under existing circumstances to compel them to pay the purchase money for said land? They respectfully suggest that it would not. Your
Complainants Sarah Harvey says that it is pretended by the said Richard Golding that he purchased out her interest in said land during the life term of the tenant for life & your Complainant William says it is
pretended by said Richard that he purchased of him his share in said
land. But your Complainants decry the fact they say that the said land
was real estate until the sale was made by the said executors, and as
such no contract for the sale thereof can be charged upon them or carried into execution unless a memorandum of the agreement were made in writing and signed by the parties agreeably to the act of assembly in that case made & provided which in this case has not been done. Your Complainants Sarah Harvey & William Golding say that even if they had made a parol agreement with said Richard it ought not to be binding upon them because of the gross inadequacy of consideration the price being very low & extremely unreasonable price which is alledged to be agreed to be given 1. Maddox. 336 & because such contracts by Executors are against public policy and more especially as even this sum has not been paid to them.
Your Complainant Sarah Harvey denies that she has ever [?] recd a cent of said Richard Golding for her share of said land. The credit on her bond for $120 to the Contrary notwithstanding, which your Complainant believes was indorsed [?] since the institution of this suit as the character & condition of the ink indicates. Indeed the bond being given to both of the Exexutors, the credit necessarily suffers from its phraseology that the sale was made to both the executors (which is not pretended) and in any view of the case it appears from the defendants own shewing that the whole trade was carried on & effected (if at all) upon the funds of the estate of the testator at which time the said Executors were largely indebted to several of the legatees & still remain indebted to them.
Your Complainant William Golding says that John Golding was not his agent to receive of said Executors particularly money for the sale of his land more especially to make a contract for him the said John being about to remove with his family from Orange County to the state of North Carolina where the said William resided [ illegible] Executors being
largely in his debt for his interest in the personal estate sold by them
immediately after the testators death the said William authorised said
Executors to lend this money out to them by said John Golding but which
bye the bye they did not do. The said Executors choosing rather to hold
on to the funds no doubt with a view to further fraud & speculation.
Your Complainants further shew that the Children of said Wm. Golding
& Sarah Golding who are entitled under the will to the testators estate &
who are also distributees of said Sarah Golding are as folllows. William
Estes & Frances his wife, Sarah Harvey William Golding, Reuben Golding, Richard Golding John Golding, now decd, Elizabeth Estes, widow of Elisha Estes decd, Polly Pugh & John & Sally Stone Children of Nancy Stone decd, making on the whole nine shares. That the said John Golding died in North Carolina in 1814, intestate, leaving a widow who died in a day or two afterwards, and 7 children, towit Milly wife of Joel Hill Betsy wife of James Hollingsworth, William, Robert & John Golding (adults) & two infant sons whose names are unknown to your Complainants. That there has been no administration in Virginia in said John Goldings estate. That Sally Stone who was a grand-daughter of the testator intermarried with Warner Cox of Orange & she died in the year 1822 and was survived by said Cox 4 infant Children whose names are not known to your Complainant.
That there has been no administration on the estate of said Sally. That
the said John Stone for valuable consideration and in due form sold his
interest in said land to your Complainant William Estes & now resides in
Alabama. That the said Elizabeth Estes also sold her interest in said
land to said William Estes for valuable consideration. The said Polly
Pugh resides in Caroline County & has 9 children whose names are as
follows, Richard Pugh, Nancy Pugh, Betsy Pugh, John Pugh, Wm Pugh,
Golding Pugh, Fernille Pugh [name of Fernille Pugh has been crossed out], & Thomas Pugh, & James Pugh infants.
That the said Executors have not account for said testators Estate
and your Complainants further shew that there are no debts due from the estate of said Sarah Golding as far as they know or believe nor has there been any administration on the same. In Consideration of the premises and for as much as your Complainants are without adequate relief at law but are peculiarly relievable in this Court to the End therefore that the said Reuben Golding and Richard Golding in their own rights and as Executors of William Golding decd. Joel Hill & Milly his wife, James Hollingsworth and Betsy his wife, William Golding & John Golding (& the other two Children of said John Golding decd whose names are unknown at present to your Complainants (by a Guardian to be appointed for them by the Court) when their names are discovered) Elizabeth Estis, Polly Pugh and her Children named above mentioned John Stone, Warner Cox and the infant Children of said Sally Cox formerly Sally Stone, (by a Guardian to be appointed for that purpose by the Court) may be made defendants to this bill and answer the premises.
That the said Executors may now come to settlement of their accounts of administration on the said estates, that is to say the estate of said William & the proper estate of said Sarah Golding the last of which they have recd as executors de son tort. That said defendants may answer and say whether they confirm the sale of said Land, if not that such relief as is proper in that case made be extended to your Complainant William Estes. That the said Executors may be compelled to make distribution of said estates according to the said will the act of
distribution of intestates estates & the several rights of the parties.
That the said pretended purchases by the Executors or either of them of
the share of Sarah Harvey & Wm Golding may be declared null & void & the said Executors made to account with them for the value of the same
according to the sale made to Wm. Estes, the said Sarah Harvey & William Golding being willing that the same shall be paid by Wm Estes over to their attornees [?] in fact in the first bill mentioned. That such other & further relief as in the premises is proper may be extended to the plaintiffs [ illegible] & your Complainants will ever pray &c.

Notes for John Foster:
John Foster was the child of Robert and Elizabeth Garnett Foster. He was the third of eight sons and three daughters. As a near-middle child he was probably more influenced by his older brothers than his parents. He, most likely, grew up quickly and independently. We know that he went to school, as he was literate. His birth has been set between 1681 and 1689 in Gloucester County, Virginia prior to his parent's removal to Essex County.
John married Isabella Golding prior to 1721 in Essex County for it was this year that he and Isabella bought land in Spotsylvania County where they lived until 1741. They moved in that year to a plantation that John had purchased in western Orange County, Virginia on Beaverdam and Marsh Runs. Isabella is thought to be a sister or daughter of John Golding of Essex County, but this has not been proven. John Golding is thought to be the father of William Golding who married John's younger sister, Elizabeth. Remember, John was deeded 125 acres of land by his father (James chose the 75 acre plot). However he sold this land to his mother and her new husband, Robert Charleswood, as she was required by the will to turn over the plantation on which she lived to her son, Robert, Jr. heir at law of Robert Foster Sr.
John then became heir at law of the land deeded to his older brother, Robert Foster, Jr., when he died, leaving the land to his wife. He purchased the land and plantation from Ann Lloyd Foster, his sister-in-law, for 25 pounds sterling. John then sold the land and plantation house to James Ridgeport. Now, needing a place to live, he purchased on December 2, 1721, 84 acres of land from Robert King in Spotsylvania County and from all indications, John, Isabella and their family moved into the plantation house. By this time John and Isabel were the parents of two and possibly three children: Sarah, Thomas, and John, Jr.
John Foster must have been quite active in politics as his name is mentioned a number of times in the activities of Spotsylvania County: witnessing deeds, wills, and serving for several years as deputy sheriff. In 1733 John received a land grant of 599 acres in what is now Culpeper County. More than likely John and Isabella retained their home in Spotsylvania County for they were still living there in 1735 when he sold the 599 acres of land to John Rucker that he had patented in Culpeper County. At the time of the sale of this land his wife, Isabella was "so sickly and impotent" that she could not travel to the seat of Orange County to waive her dower rights to the land. They had to send three commissioners to her home to interview her and make sure she had agreed to the sale, which of course, she had.
By 1735 John and Isabella had two and possibly three other children: Philadelphia, Anthony, and possibly Judith. If there were other children they have not been identified or possibly had died. Even though John and Isabella were living in Spotsylvania County they had begun to purchase land in Orange County. John had started to buy land in Orange County as early as 1734 or 1735. In 1734 Thomas, oldest son of John and Isabella, was apparently not of legal age to own land, which was 21 years, for in that year he and his father co-patented 1000 acres of land in what is now the eastern portion of Orange County. The land was located between Berry's Run and Riga Run. William Wolford had originally patented the land, however his patent had lapsed due to his not making sufficient improvements. It appears that John Foster may have patented this land for his son Thomas to improve and develop as a plantation. One can assume that the land or a portion of it had been put into cultivation, for even though John and Isabella had not moved to Orange County, John was there on several occasions witnessing deeds. It is possible that his son, Thomas Foster, was living on the land and attending to it clearing and cultivation. Thomas was not yet married.
On November 26, 1740 John and Thomas Foster made an application to the Orange County Court for an evaluation of the improvements that had been made on this 1000 acres of land. Andrew Harrison, Henry, Isabel and George Smith returned a report to the Orange County Court on May 28, 1741, giving a value of L164-6s-8p which included "the cost of 16 journey of 16 miles (from their home in Spotsylvania County) for corn and salt and of 4,000 nails brought from Northumbeland County, one dwelling house, one small dwelling, 480 fruit trees, twelve acres of cleared ground, 280 panels of fence with nine logs to each panel."
During 1739 and 1740 John and Isabella started selling off their holdings in Spotsylvania County in the preparation of a move to Orange County in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. On May 28, 1741 John Foster bought from Joseph Phillips of Orange County a tract of 490 acres of land between March and Beaverdam Run in the Far West end of the present day Orange County near the boundary of Greene County. Moving with John and Isabella were their son Thomas and his wife, Ann (he had married Ann Garnett in 1741) and their daughter, Philadelphia and her husband, John Snell, (John Foster had witnessed in 1740 a purchase of land by his son-in-law, John Snell.)
In 1745 John and Thomas Foster sold the 1000 acres of land they patented in 1734 and improved upon in Orange County to James Garnett, brother to Ann Garnett Foster. Actually, they had resold the land as in 1738 they had sold the land to George Street, however it reverted back to them when Mr. Street was unable to make payment. Since this deed was acknowledged by both of their wives (Isabel Foster and Ann Foster) by their relinquishment of the dower rights to the land, it proves that Thomas Foster was married to Ann Garnett prior to February 1744. Since Thomas' oldest child, Sarah was born ca. 1743 according to her will, it is certain that Thomas Foster was only married once and was never married ca. 1743 to an Elizabeth Smith in Middlesex County as had been erroneously claimed by some Foster researchers. Ann Foster was the only wife of Thomas Foster and the mother of his eleven children.
Isabella Foster died sometime after June 4, 1747, for it was on this date that she and her husband John Foster along with John Haskew and his wife, Rachel, sold jointly to John Coffee of Spotsylvania County a tract of land in Orange County containing 137 acres. (100 acres was taken from John Foster's tract of 337 acres and 37 acres were taken from Haskew's land.) This land was located on Beaverdam Run and was part of the land that John Foster bought from Zachary Taylor in 1740. This was the last appearance of Isabella in the records of Orange County.
In Orange County, like in Spotsylvania, John Foster continued to be politically active with frequent references in county records witnessing deeds and wills of neighbors, providing security bonds, serving on juries and viewing routs of public roads. The last entry of John Foster in Orange County records was in 1760. As to date no will has ever been found for John Foster. He either died in 1760 as some have recorded or was infirm shortly after or moved away from Orange County to live with one of his children until his death.

701. Mary Poage, born Abt. 1695; died Abt. 1728.
Notes for William Bell:
William Bell (1685-1757) was one of the earliest settlers in the Beverly Manor Patent area. He and his wife Mary McGowin came to the New World with their children, settling in Augusta County, Virginia some time before 1742.
William Bell, the immigrant ancestor was a member of the large Scotch-Irish colony settled in the North of Ireland. Here he was born about the year 1685. With many of his name and kindred, he emigrated to America about 1735, probably entering the Delaware Bay and river and landing first in Pennsylvania. He settled in Augusta county, Virginia, about eight miles northeast of the site of Staunton, in 1738-40, certainly prior to 1746. He was a staunch Presbyterian and founded the family locally known as "The Stone Church Bells," by which name they have always been distinguished from other families of the same name in Augusta county. The Bell family was closely allied, by blood and marriage, to the Andersons, Allens, Craigs, Trimbles, Henderson, Millses and other prominent Augusta county families.
Most of the settlers in this part of the Valley were Scotch-Irish Presbyterians who wasted little time in setting up their churches. In 1740, the Congregation of the Triple Forks of the Shenandoah, established two meetinghouses; Tinkling Spring and the Augusta Stone, both served by Reverend John Craig. The Virginia Colony, although somewhat tolerant of other religions, was an English Colony. All dissenting churches were called “meeting houses” while the word “church” applied only to the Church of England.
There was at least one other Bell family living in the area so William’s family identified themselves with the Presbyterian meetinghouse they attended. The “Stone Church Bells” attended the Augusta Stone Meeting House located just outside the Beverly Patent near the present day community of Ft. Defiance.
Children of William Bell and Mary Poage are:
350 i. John William Bell, born 1720 in Ireland; died 1790 in Wayne County, Virginia; married Elizabeth Cave 1754 in Orange County, Virginia.
ii. Captain David Bell, born 1722 in Ulster, Ireland; died 1779 in Fayette County, Kentucky; married Florence Henderson; born 1738 in Augusta County, Virginia; died Abt. 1809 in Kentucky.
Notes for Captain David Bell:
David Bell (1722-1779), son of William Bell and Mary McGowin, immigrated from Ulster, Ireland to Augusta County, Virginia, married Florence Henderson, and moved later to Fayette County, Kentucky.
Captain David Bell, of Augusta County, Virginia, served both in the French and Indian war and in the War of the Revolution.
iii. Samuel Bell, born 1724 in Ireland; married Jane Holmes Abt. 1759 in Augusta County, Virginia.
Notes for Samuel Bell:
Samuel Bell was born in Ireland in 1724 and came to America with his parents. He married a woman named Jane Holmes about 1759 in Augusta County. Samuel and Jane had twelve children; the seventh was a daughter, Elizabeth.
When Samuel Bell wrote his will in 1800, he mentioned his daughter, Elizabeth, by her married name. “5TH Item… I give and bequeath unto my daughters Elizabeth GLAVES and Sarah Kerr sixty seven dollars each”. The majority of the estate went to Elizabeth’s mother and several of her brothers. There is no reference to the fact that Elizabeth would have been living in Pendleton County, Kentucky at the time. Samuel died in 1803 and his will was probated in May of that year.
702. Captain Benjamin Cave, born 1704; died 1762 in Orange County, Virginia. He married 703. Hannah Bledsoe 1720.
703. Hannah Bledsoe, born 1710 in Spotsylvania County, Virginia; died 1769 in Orange County, Virginia. She was the daughter of 1406. Captain William Bledsoe and 1407. Anne.
Notes for Captain Benjamin Cave:
Benjamin Cave came from England in 1725. Benjamin was an overseer of several other road and bridge building projects. Benjamin was overseer of the Germana Road in place of Robert Slaughter on November 2, 1726. Benjamin was given a county levy of 1240 lbs. tobacco for "Marking and Clearing" a road from Germana to Northanna on November 8, 1727.
He and Abraham Bledsoe (his brother in law) patented 1000 acres on the Rapidan in 1728.
He was a vestryman of St. Thomas Parish from 1740 until his death. He also represented Orange County in the Virginia House of Burgesses from 1756 to 1760.

Notes for Richard Cave:
RICHARD CAVE was one of the pioneer preachers of central Kentucky, and was very useful among the early settlers. He was the son of Captain
Benjamin Cave of Orange county, Virginia, where he was born not far from the year 1750. At an early age, he was led to Christ, under the
preaching of the famous Samuel Harris and James Read, and united with Upper Spottsylvania [sic] church. He was set apart to the ministry, by this church, while he was quite young. After preaching a few years in
his native county, he followed Lewis Craig, whose sister he had married, and his brother, William Cave, who had moved the fall before, to the wilderness of Kentucky, in 1782. He settled in Garrard county, where he united with Gilbert's Creek church. This was the same church he had first joined, but now, in a new location, and bearing a new name.
He remained at Gilbert's Creek some two years after Lewis Craig, the old pastor, had moved away, and, with George Stokes Smith, supplied the church with the ministry of the word. In the spring of 1785, he moved
to Woodford county, where he went into the constitution of Clear Creek
church. Here he was associated in the ministry with John Taylor, John
Dupuy, James Rucker and, soon afterwards, with John Tanner and the
venerable John Sutton. He was regarded as a man of great piety, and was very zealous and useful, especially during a great revival that
commenced under the ministry at Clerk Creek, in 1800. The church
received 326 by baptism, during one year, and was increased to 558
members. This was the most useful period of Mr. Cave's ministry; for
not long afterwards, he fell into the pit that has ineffaceably spotted
the garments of multitudes of good men. He contracted the habit of
drinking too freely. When reproved for this sin, he repented bitterly,
and could never again be induced to taste spirituous liquors. His zeal
for the cause of Christ was undimished, but his usefulness was much
impaired. Not long before his death, he arose to close the exercises of
a meeting he attended, but was overpowered by a flood of tears and
compelled to sit down. He died of protracted diarrhea, in July, 1816.
A few days before his departure, he expressed great serenity of soul,
and a patient acquiescence in the divine will. He had been a teacher of
music, and was an excellent singer. A little before his last breath, he
sang in a loud voice, the words: -
"O for an overcoming faith
To cheer my dying hours;
To triumph o'er the monster death,
And all its frightful powers."

Notes for Captain Thomas Stockett:
Captain Thomas Stockett was born in Kent, England after 1622/3. Thomas Stockett immigrated to Anne Arundel Co., Maryland in 1658 with his brothers, Francis and Henry. Their elder brother, Lewis Stockett joined them in 1664. They were from Kent(shire), England. They had apparently been from the strictest faithful followers of Charles I and II. When Charles II was exiled, they mortgaged their property and followed him. At their return, they had no money to redeem their mortgage. They immigrated to America to get a new start. There they received grants of land from the newly restored Calvert government located near the Susquehann River in Harford County, MD. Thomas obtained a patent for land called "Bourne." Brother Henry's was called "Rapalta" and Dr. Francis Stockett's was " Delph" and "Delph Island".
It is thought that these Stockett sons are the children of Thomas and Frances Aylesworth Stockett II of Canterbury, England. This Thomas and Frances were first cousins. They also were grandchildren of a Lewis Stockett who "was a member of the household of Queen Elizabeth I."
He married Mary Wells before 1667. She was born before 1652. Mary was the daughter of Richard Wells and Frances [?]. She died circa 1698. Her body was interred 21 Jan 1698/9 in Anne Arundel Co., MD. Her will was probated in Anne Arundel Co., MD, 29 Mar 1699.
Thomas Stocket held many highly respected positions in his Maryland home. He served in the Lower House at St. Marys on April 17, 1661 in Maryland and continued as a delegate through 1666. He was a Justice of Baltimore Co. from 1661-1668. In 1668 he was appointed High Sheriff of Anne Arundel Co, to which he and his brothers Henry and Francis then moved. They purchased las located on a stream adjacent to the Patuxent River they named "Stockett's Run. Thomas, himself, owned 400 acres in Baltimore Co. and 664 acres called "Obligation" north of Arundel Manor which was on the south/east of "Stocket's Run". (Surveyed Jul. 19, 1669) He held the title of Deputy Surveyor General (1670-1671), Captain, and High Sheriff at the time of his death in 1671. His other two brothers remained on Stockett's Run and died in residence there. The Coat of Arms they used in Maryland was "a lion rampant, sa. on a chief of the last, tower triple towred, ar. between two bezants."
One of his "indentured servants", George Aslop, published early historical and geographical accounts of Maryland life. In his writings, he mentioned the kind treatment he received from Capt. Thomas Stockett and the abundance in the Stockett Mansion. (C-650)
Thomas died before 4 May 1671 at approximately 47 years of age. His will was probated in Anne Arundel Co., MD, 4 May 1671. (Captain Thomas Stockett, Will Liber 1, Folio 430, filed 4 May 1671, Anne Arundel Co., MD)
Notes for Mary Wells:
Mary was born in Virginia and was transported with them in 1653 when they moved to Maryland. One source estimates her birthdate as 1637. Montgomery estimates it at 1644 and the seventh child of Richard. She is listed in her father's will as the wife of Thomas Stockett and appears to have been in her father's favor.
One source, Mrs. O. F. Weissgerber from Chula Vista Ca. lists a daughter, Elizabeth, by Mary's second husband, George Yates. She had several more sons and daughters with her second husband. She was widowed a second time when he died in 1691. He was also of gentle birth with a seal of Coat of Arms on his silver.
Children of Thomas Stockett and Mary Wells are:
i. Mary Stockett, born 1664; married (1) George Odd; married (2) Mark Richardson 1683 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
ii. Francis Stockett, born 1665; married Mareen Duvall.
iii. Ann Stockett, married ------------- Yate.
iv. Elizabeth Stockett, born 1662 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland; died 1736 in Prince George's County, Maryland; married Thomas Plummer 1667; born Abt. 1642 in Ringmer, County Essex, England; died Abt. Jan 1694/95 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
Notes for Thomas Plummer:
Thomas was the original immigrant to come to America in this line in 1667 from England. He gained passage from William Stanley who received 250 acres headrights for transporting him.
Thomas Plummer received 100 acres of land "Bridge Hill" from his brother-in-law, Thomas Stockett on May 20, 1676. On July 28, 1686, his wife's uncle, Dr. Francis Stockett, purchased 64 acres, part of "Deden," adjacent to "Bridge Hill". By Dec. 15, 1686, he owned a tract called "Level Addition" surveyed by his step-father, George Yate. It was on the west side of the Susquehanna River. He purchased two other tracks that were part of Prince George's Co. when is was separated from Calvert in 1696: "Seaman's Delight" and "Scotts Lot".
He wrote his will in 1694 in which he calls himself a religious man. His religious affiliations have not been found. His will lists wife Elizabeth, children: Thomas, Margaret, Mary, Susannah, and Elizabeth. Witnesses were Capt. Henry, Elizabeth and Jos. Hanslap and Edw. Brucebank. It is signed Eliz. Plummer, ex. of the last will & testament of Thomas Plummer, late of Anne Arundel Co., deceased.

Notes for Major John Welsh:
Major John Welsh was born about 1622 in England. Major Welsh arrived in Maryland prior to 1668, when he was a "Gentleman Justice" of Anne Arundel County. He was Commissioner of the County Court in 1667. He was Commissioned Justice for several years and was a member of the Quorum in 1676. In 1677 or 1678, he was appointed High Sheriff of Anne Arundel County. He was considered the most important official in the county, responsible only to the "Proprietor". In 1678, there was a period of Indian warfare, the "Nanticoke War". Major Welsh was responsible to suppress any Indian uprisings. As recognition for his military valor, he was granted 1000 acres which was named "Three Sisters". This was a great honor to have bestowed upon him.
In 1681, a new Indian warfare outbreak occurred. Indians killed one of Welsh's servants and two Englishmen on his plantation. The Indians also attempted to enter the home of some of the other settlers. It appears that Major Welsh had gained the reputation of an Indian fighter. He was held in high esteem for his leadership abilities and his character.
In 1682, Major Welsh was chosen as one of twenty four commissioners, "men of the highest importance, the civil and military officers of the counties", to represent Anne Arundel County in the initiation of the "Act for the Advancement of Trade". Major Welsh was the fifth name on the list. He died the following year in 1683. He was considered one of the "worthies in American history who helped to lay the foundation of our nation as it is today."
Major John Welsh was first married to Anne, widow of Honorable Roger Grosse. He had an older brother Sylvester Welsh born about 1670.
Anne died before 1675 and Major John married second to Mary, daughter of Damaris and stepdaughter of Nicholas Wyatt. Mary later remarried to James Ellis.
Major John Welsh's will was made in Anne Arundel County,Maryland, January 6, 1683 and recorded March 3, 1683-4 (Liber 4, Folio 35). It names his wife, Mary; sons, Silvester (oldest), John & Benjamin; and daughters, Mary, Eliza, Sarah & Damaris; unborn child [Robert]; and brother, Henry.

Notes for Elizabeth Ripley:
Elizabeth Ripley did not arrive in America on the same ship as her twin sister and other family members. The ship's name is unknown at this time. She did not live with father William and the family in Massachusetts, but took up residence with her older half brother Richard in Virginia. Her son William Golding, however, is named after her father, and her son Richard is named after her older brother Richard.
Children of John Golding and Elizabeth Ripley are:
696 i. John Golding, born 1670 in Gloucester County, Virginia; died 1734 in Caroline County, Virginia; married Cassandra Tucker 1695 in Virginia.
ii. William Golding, born Abt. 1675 in Essex County, Virginia; died Abt. 14 May 1747 in Essex County, Virginia.

1395. Elizabeth Frances Moss, born 1652. She was the daughter of 2790. Robert Moss and 2791. Rebeckah Wales.
Notes for Laomedon Tucker:
Laomedon Tucker was a headright of Thomas Powell who patented 500 acres on the north side of Rappahannock River October 24, 1650. He is subsequently mentioned in the will of Robert Moss of Rappahannock County dated August 8, 1665, probated April 3, 1689, as follows: "I give unto Laomedon Tucker or his two children already borne (to wit) Daniel and Mary Tucker, one mare foal and two yearling heifers. I give to Daniel Tucker the use and benefit of housing and ground to plant his crop as long as said Daniel shall live." His wife was named Rebecca and his only son was named Robert. It seems they must have made a deed of gift to Laomedon Tucker of the above land for on April 10, 1712, Daniel Tucker of St. Ann's Parish, Essex, sold Cornelius Sale of same parish for 2200 lbs. Tbco. 100 acres on S. W. side of Occupation Creek adjacent Robert Garner and Will Bates. Said land formerly conveyed by deed of gift from Robert and Rebecca Moss to Laomedon Tucker September 2, 1679. Elizabeth Tucker, wife of Daniel, and Cassandra Golding relinquished their right of Dower. Cassandra may have been the wife of Laomedon Tucker who had remarried. A John Goulding held 200 acres in Essex in 1704 and Edward Goulding 380 acres.

Child of Laomedon Tucker and Elizabeth Moss is:
697 i. Cassandra Tucker, born Abt. 1670 in Essex County, Virginia; died Aft. 1715 in Essex County, Virginia; married (1) ------ Cooke; married (2) John Golding 1695 in Virginia.

1397. Elizabeth Garnett, born 1663 in Gloucester County, Virginia; died 1744 in Amelia County, Virginia. She was the daughter of 2794. John Garnett.
Notes for Robert Foster:
In his will dated 1715, he described himself as a yeoman meaning below the gentry, one who cultivates his own land. He moved to Essex County with his brother John in 1692 and acquired several tracts of land before his death.
Children of Robert Foster and Elizabeth Garnett are:
i. John Foster, born 1682 in Essex County, Virginia; died Abt. 1760 in Orange County, Virginia; married Isabella Golding 1716 in Essex County, Virginia; born 1699 in Essex County, Virginia; died Aft. 04 Jun 1747 in Orange County, Virginia.
Notes for John Foster:
John Foster was the child of Robert and Elizabeth Garnett Foster. He was the third of eight sons and three daughters. As a near-middle child he was probably more influenced by his older brothers than his parents. He, most likely, grew up quickly and independently. We know that he went to school, as he was literate. His birth has been set between 1681 and 1689 in Gloucester County, Virginia prior to his parent's removal to Essex County.
John married Isabella Golding prior to 1721 in Essex County for it was this year that he and Isabella bought land in Spotsylvania County where they lived until 1741. They moved in that year to a plantation that John had purchased in western Orange County, Virginia on Beaverdam and Marsh Runs. Isabella is thought to be a sister or daughter of John Golding of Essex County, but this has not been proven. John Golding is thought to be the father of William Golding who married John's younger sister, Elizabeth. Remember, John was deeded 125 acres of land by his father (James chose the 75 acre plot). However he sold this land to his mother and her new husband, Robert Charleswood, as she was required by the will to turn over the plantation on which she lived to her son, Robert, Jr. heir at law of Robert Foster Sr.
John then became heir at law of the land deeded to his older brother, Robert Foster, Jr., when he died, leaving the land to his wife. He purchased the land and plantation from Ann Lloyd Foster, his sister-in-law, for 25 pounds sterling. John then sold the land and plantation house to James Ridgeport. Now, needing a place to live, he purchased on December 2, 1721, 84 acres of land from Robert King in Spotsylvania County and from all indications, John, Isabella and their family moved into the plantation house. By this time John and Isabel were the parents of two and possibly three children: Sarah, Thomas, and John, Jr.
John Foster must have been quite active in politics as his name is mentioned a number of times in the activities of Spotsylvania County: witnessing deeds, wills, and serving for several years as deputy sheriff. In 1733 John received a land grant of 599 acres in what is now Culpeper County. More than likely John and Isabella retained their home in Spotsylvania County for they were still living there in 1735 when he sold the 599 acres of land to John Rucker that he had patented in Culpeper County. At the time of the sale of this land his wife, Isabella was "so sickly and impotent" that she could not travel to the seat of Orange County to waive her dower rights to the land. They had to send three commissioners to her home to interview her and make sure she had agreed to the sale, which of course, she had.
By 1735 John and Isabella had two and possibly three other children: Philadelphia, Anthony, and possibly Judith. If there were other children they have not been identified or possibly had died. Even though John and Isabella were living in Spotsylvania County they had begun to purchase land in Orange County. John had started to buy land in Orange County as early as 1734 or 1735. In 1734 Thomas, oldest son of John and Isabella, was apparently not of legal age to own land, which was 21 years, for in that year he and his father co-patented 1000 acres of land in what is now the eastern portion of Orange County. The land was located between Berry's Run and Riga Run. William Wolford had originally patented the land, however his patent had lapsed due to his not making sufficient improvements. It appears that John Foster may have patented this land for his son Thomas to improve and develop as a plantation. One can assume that the land or a portion of it had been put into cultivation, for even though John and Isabella had not moved to Orange County, John was there on several occasions witnessing deeds. It is possible that his son, Thomas Foster, was living on the land and attending to it clearing and cultivation. Thomas was not yet married.
On November 26, 1740 John and Thomas Foster made an application to the Orange County Court for an evaluation of the improvements that had been made on this 1000 acres of land. Andrew Harrison, Henry, Isabel and George Smith returned a report to the Orange County Court on May 28, 1741, giving a value of L164-6s-8p which included "the cost of 16 journey of 16 miles (from their home in Spotsylvania County) for corn and salt and of 4,000 nails brought from Northumbeland County, one dwelling house, one small dwelling, 480 fruit trees, twelve acres of cleared ground, 280 panels of fence with nine logs to each panel."
During 1739 and 1740 John and Isabella started selling off their holdings in Spotsylvania County in the preparation of a move to Orange County in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. On May 28, 1741 John Foster bought from Joseph Phillips of Orange County a tract of 490 acres of land between March and Beaverdam Run in the Far West end of the present day Orange County near the boundary of Greene County. Moving with John and Isabella were their son Thomas and his wife, Ann (he had married Ann Garnett in 1741) and their daughter, Philadelphia and her husband, John Snell, (John Foster had witnessed in 1740 a purchase of land by his son-in-law, John Snell.)
In 1745 John and Thomas Foster sold the 1000 acres of land they patented in 1734 and improved upon in Orange County to James Garnett, brother to Ann Garnett Foster. Actually, they had resold the land as in 1738 they had sold the land to George Street, however it reverted back to them when Mr. Street was unable to make payment. Since this deed was acknowledged by both of their wives (Isabel Foster and Ann Foster) by their relinquishment of the dower rights to the land, it proves that Thomas Foster was married to Ann Garnett prior to February 1744. Since Thomas' oldest child, Sarah was born ca. 1743 according to her will, it is certain that Thomas Foster was only married once and was never married ca. 1743 to an Elizabeth Smith in Middlesex County as had been erroneously claimed by some Foster researchers. Ann Foster was the only wife of Thomas Foster and the mother of his eleven children.
Isabella Foster died sometime after June 4, 1747, for it was on this date that she and her husband John Foster along with John Haskew and his wife, Rachel, sold jointly to John Coffee of Spotsylvania County a tract of land in Orange County containing 137 acres. (100 acres was taken from John Foster's tract of 337 acres and 37 acres were taken from Haskew's land.) This land was located on Beaverdam Run and was part of the land that John Foster bought from Zachary Taylor in 1740. This was the last appearance of Isabella in the records of Orange County.
In Orange County, like in Spotsylvania, John Foster continued to be politically active with frequent references in county records witnessing deeds and wills of neighbors, providing security bonds, serving on juries and viewing routs of public roads. The last entry of John Foster in Orange County records was in 1760. As to date no will has ever been found for John Foster. He either died in 1760 as some have recorded or was infirm shortly after or moved away from Orange County to live with one of his children until his death.

Four Royalist brothers, staunch supporters of King Charles II, emigrated to Maryland in 1658, after spending several years in exile in France. During that time their Kentish {English} estates were destroyed or confiscated by the Puritans; since these could not be redeemed when amnesty was declared, the four headed to Maryland for a new start.

Notes for Doctor Richard Abraham Wells:
Richard Wells could be the son of John and Elizabeth Elyott Wells of Saltash, England. Harry Wright Newman supports this theory because Richard's son, George, used a seal on his documents that was highly similar to the arms of the Wells of Saltash, County Cornwall, England. That Wells family settled in County Cornwall about 1530 from Lincolnshire. Their arms included a shield with a chevron with three birds and horse's head for the crest. This evidence suggests that the Wells in Saltash need to be studied closely.
What we know for sure about Richard is that he was a staunch Puritan of wealth and influence at a period of history when the Puritans were in power. He and his wife were both the immigrant ancestors in this line. He immigrated from England to Virginia before September 13, 1637. Richard was unmarried when he arrived and settled south of the James River in Virginia. He received head rights in Charles City County, Virginia and received fifty acres of land on the River between two creeks. He apparently had property back in England. He is sometimes confused with another Richard Wells also in Virginia. Our Dr. Richard Wells is apparently the Richard who was a Surgeon. He was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1645. He and his family probably moved to Maryland to seek religious freedom offered by Lord Baltimore in 1653. The fact that he was a liberal puritan provoked the move. He took with him all of his children but Martha who had not been born, plus his servants, Thomas Boone, Henry Symonds, George Hall, Thomas Linstead, Edward Howard and Martha Windright.
The birthplace of his children was Virginia. Only their daughter, Martha's, birthdate and place is unknown.
In Maryland, he was granted 600 acres on Herring Bay that he named "Wells". He built the Manor House they lived in throughout their days on that property. He was appointed a member of the Parliamentary Commission on July 22, 1654, a year after arriving in Maryland. He along with Capt. Fuller, Richard Preston, William Durand Edward Lloyd, Capt. John Smith, Leonard Strong, John Lawson, John Hotch, and Richard Ewen controlled Maryland's government from 1654-1658. Any four of them could act as long as one of them was Fuller, Preston or Durand.
He held multiple offices for the courts. He accumulated much wealth in the form of land and a sixteenth of a ship called "The Baltimore." In checking public record, one family researcher has found this Richard Wells and his sons to be ambitious, furious when thwarted, and unsympathetic to those who could not further their interests.
After his death in 1667, his son Richard returned to England where his father's will was probated at the Prerogative Ct. of Canterbury, (1668). He still owned land in England at that time. His estate was appraised on Dec. 5, 1667 by Capt. John Howell and Godfrey Bayley. In it, a "chirugeon chest" contained interest in the ship "Majesty". His total worth was L1,735/6/4 plus 57,145 pounds of tobacco, several servants, silver plate, L7/8/9 currency. His Majesty owed him several sums on top of that. His will was witnessed by Francis Stockett, Bonham Turner and Wm. Linckhorne. He named five sons and three daughters. He wished all things to be divided including things in Maryland (the plantation where he lived), Virginia and England.
Compiled from the "Book of Shipwrecks and Fisherman" Immigrants coming to America from England Richard Abraham Wells, Age 17 yrs. August 7, 1625,on the ship "Globe" , b 1608 d 1687 m. Frances White, trade doctor. Had 1 son David, b. 4/18/1630. Richard Abraham Wells willed everything to David (1632),Lunenburg Co. Courthouse. John J. Wells, married in the 1700's to Patsy Caroline Flournoy. They had 1 son, Samuel Sykes Wells (abt 1790). He married and had 3 children. Daughters, Martha Wells Wallen,Elizabeth Wells Cross and one son David Sykes Wells.
Children of Richard Wells and Frances Whyte are:
i. Ann Wells, married Doctor John Stansbury.
Notes for Ann Wells:
Ann is listed in her father's will as the wife of Dr. John Stansby. Her marriage to Dr. John Stansby, apparently was against direct orders from her father, and she was left only 12 pence in his will. The executors of Richard's estate would not pay Dr. John Stansby's bill as attending physician to Richard and John sued the estate.
ii. Elizabeth Wells
Notes for Elizabeth Wells:
Elizabeth probably died between 1653 and 1667, after they moved to Maryland and before her father's will. She is not in his will.
iii. Martha Wells
Notes for Martha Wells:
This is the only child whose birthplace is not known. She is listed as the wife of Anthony Saloway in her father's will. She was not in her father's favor in his will, being listed as the sometime wife of Anthony Saloway and receiving only 12 pence. Her husband, Anthony, had two of his servants commit suicide in 1663.
iv. Richard Wells, born Abt. 1635; died Aft. 11 May 1671; married Sophia Ewen Abt. 1660; died Abt. 1675.
Notes for Richard Wells:
Richard was born about 1635 according to Montgomery. He came with his parents to Maryland around 1652-3. He was the oldest son and heir, but seemed rather quiet compared to his more aggressive brothers in court records.
Richard is mentioned in his father's will. He went to England after his father died and returned to Maryland on July 20, 1669 while importing sixteen persons. He filed claim for their headrights on that date. He deeded a gift of land, 300 acres of Planters Delight, to his brother George in 1670. He and his wife were childless when he died in his thirties. He left his lands to his brother George as he appeared to have the only male heir at that time.
v. William Wells, born Abt. 1638 in Norfolk County, Virginia; died Bef. 22 Jun 1667.
Notes for William Wells:
He was not in his father's will. No record of his marriage or death date has been found. He died young according to Newman. He did come with his family to Maryland in 1652-3.
vi. George Wells, born Abt. 1640 in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia; died 1695 in Baltimore County, Maryland; married Blanche Goldsmyth Abt. 1667.
Notes for George Wells:
George was a Captain in George Gouldsmith's Company. He later married his daughter. He was a Colonel in 1681 who commanded the "foote" as well a Justice. In 1685, he met with Indian leaders at his home at the head of the bay to help reduce danger from them. He gave each Indian a "match coat". In the tax lists of 1695, he had 10 tithes - Benjamin Wells, Ralph William, John English, Philemon Runegam and 5 slaves.
George was in his father's will. He wrote his own will on Feb. 20, 1695 in Baltimore Co., MD and it was probated in that same year.
He and his wife had at least five children. He was the only brother in 1671 who had had a male heir and therefore received land from Richard Jr. at his death.
vii. John Wells, born Abt. 1640 in Virginia; died Abt. 1714 in Queen Anne's County, Maryland.
Notes for John Wells:
He and his wife had one son and an unborn child mentioned in John's will, dated Mar. 10 1713/14. His will was proved on Nov. 15, 1714. This John may be confused with another John Wells who died in 1680 whose estate was of wealth, with no listed wife or heirs.
1301 viii. Mary Wells, born Mar 1630/31 in Norfolk County, Virginia; died Jan 1698/99 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland; married (1) Captain Thomas Stockett 1665 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland; married (2) George Yates Aft. 1671.
ix. Robert Wells, born Abt. 1642 in Virginia; died Aft. 22 Jun 1667.
Notes for Robert Wells:
No birth, marriage or death records have been found for this Robert. He was brought to Maryland by his parents in 1652-3. He inherited "West Wells" in Anne Arundel Co., MD in his father's will. He was also in business with his brother, Benjamin.
x. Benjamin Wells, born Abt. 1646; died Abt. 1702; married Frances Haslap; died May 1697.
Notes for Benjamin Wells:
Benjamin was the youngest son of Richard Wells. The birthdate is a guess by Montgomery who believes him to be the 8th child in birth order. Benjamin inherited "Benjamin's Choice" from his father's will in 1667. He had two children by his wife, both girls who died as young infants. His wife died giving birth to his second daughter. She is buried at All Hallow's Parish.
xi. Frances Wells, born Bef. 1653.
Notes for Frances Wells:
Frances moved to Maryland with the family but is not mentioned in her father's will. She is the youngest child or 11th in birth order according to Montgomery.

William Ripley; Mrs. ....Ripley; Mary Ripley; John Ripley; Abraham Ripley; Sarah Ripley".... The Ripley family probably boarded the Dilligent in London, and probably stayed with brother Abraham while awaiting departure.)
Also on board this ship was William's aunt, wife of Robert James, who was born in Yorkshire February 21, 1591.
The child Mary Ripley was born January 10, 1640, or rather was baptized then, at the Church of England. Parish Church of Morton (near Bourne, Lincolnshire).

William was made Freeman in May of 1642.
William Ripley was not from Wymondham or even Norfolk County. He probably boarded the Dilligent in London, where he had a brother living, but William's home was in Lincoln County, specifically on a farm near the town of Moulton. He was in fact born in Yorkshire, which is the home for the Ripleys who came to America and Canada.

After the "starving time" in the winter of 1609-1610, the first settlers were discouraged and ready to abandon the enterprise. However, the arrival of Lord Delaware with new colonists and fresh supplies convinced them to remain. Thomas Garnett was a part of this company. Elizabeth's arrival in 1618 made her one of the first women in the colony. A year later, a boat full of women destined to be wives for the settlers was brought to Virginia.
In the records of the first meeting of the elected assembly at Jamestown on August 3, 1619 Thomas Garnett's conflict with his master, Capt. William Powell is recorded. One wonders if Elizabeth is the widow cited in the action below:
Captaine William Powell presented a pettition to the generall Assembly against one Thomas Garnett, a servant of his, not onely for extreame neglect of his business to the great loss and prejudice of the said Captaine, and for openly and impudently abusing his house, in sight both of Master and Mistress, through wantonnes with a woman servant of theirs, a widdowe, but also for falsely accusing him to the Governor both of Drunkennes and Thefte, and besides for bringing all his fellow servants to testifie on his side, wherein they justly failed him. It was thought fitt by the general assembly (the Governour himself giving sentence), that he should stand fower dayes with his eares nayled to the Pillory, viz: Wednesday, Aug. 4thm and so likewise Thursday, fryday, and Satturday next following, and every of those dayes should be publiquely whipped.
In 1624/25 a muster was taken of the Inhabitants of Virginia. In "Thomas Garnett and his Muster" show Thomas aged 40 and Immigrated to America in the "Swann" in 1610. His wife Ellzabeth was aged 26 and came to America in the "Neptune" in 1618. Their daughter Susan was aged 3 and was born in Virginia. Ambrose Griffith and Joyce Griffith were on the muster with the Garnett Family. Ambrose Griffith was aged 33 and came to Virginia in the "Bona Nova" 1619 and Joyce Griffith
aged 20 came in the "Jacob".

Notes for Sir Lodivicus "Lewis" Stockett:
Several sources cite the royal service of Lewis Stockett to Elizabeth I, among them Frank H. Stockett, who notes that Lewis Stockett was "an officer in the household of that queen." (The Stockett Family, Baltimore, MD: Wm. Boyle & Son, 1892, p. 3). He notes further, though providing no documentation for most of his assertions, that Lewis Stockett was born in 1558 and died in 1603. Also, William Berry, County Histories; Pedigrees of the Families of Kent, London: 1830, Newberry Library, Chicago, IL, E694478.1, p. 303, notes that Lewis Stockett was "of the household of Queen Elizabeth."
Lewis was an officer in the the household of Queen Elizabeth I. They were probably of Saxon descent. The family was established in St. Stephans Parish, Co. Kent, England with an estate of considerable size. They had the right to display a Coat of Arms. The records of St. Stephans Parish and Co. Kent need to be checked for improved knowledge on this line.

Notes for Thomas Whyte:
Thomas White
(Alias BLACKLOW, BLACLOE, ALBIUS, ANGLUS).
Born in Essex, 1593; died in London, 6 July, 1676. Through his mother, Mary Plowden who married Richard White of Hutton, Essex, he was grandson of the lawyer, Edmund Plowden. Educated at St. Omer, Valladolid, and Douai, he was ordained priest on 25 March, 1617; he studied at the Sorbonne, became bachelor of divinity, and returned to Douai to teach theology, which he did, with intervals, till 1630, when he became president of the English College, Lisbon. In 1633 he resigned and returned to England, where he devoted himself to the writing of about forty works, which caused a bitter theological controversy. Not only was he accused of employing new expressions and manners of speech not usual in Scholastic theology, but his views on purgatory, hell, and the infallibility of the pope, were unsound. Exception was also taken to his politico-religious views, especially his teaching in favour of passive obedience to any established government. Several of White's opinions were censured by the Inquisition in decrees dated 14 May, 1655, and 7 Sept., 1657, and many of his friends and former students publicity disclaimed his principles. Finally, he withdrew the censured opinions and submitted himself and his writings to the Holy See. He was chiefly opposed by George Leyburn, the president of Douai, and Robert Pugh, the latter of whom wrote a life of him, not known now to exist, also a work called "Blacklo's Cabal", in which he accuses him of opposition to the regulars and to episcopal authority, and disloyalty to the pope. White, however, counted amongst his friends some of the leading secular clergy, who defended the solidity of his fundamental doctrine and maintained his loyalty to the Church, while disclaiming the doctrines to which exception was taken and which he had retracted.

Notes for Captain Isaac Chapline:
Isaac Chapline, born in England in 1585, was the latest in a long line of aristocratic Chapline's. He entered the English Royal Navy, where, as a result of his high family position, soon became a Captain of one of her Majesty's ships. In 1606 he married Mary Calvert, daughter of Leonard Calvert of the founding Maryland family, that governed for 139 years from 1632 to 1771.
Isaac first came to America on June 9, 1610, on his ship "Starr" bringing Lord Delaware the first governor of Virginia. The "Starr" and the other two ships accompanying him were loaded with 200 settlers and supplies.
They arrived in the James River near Jamestown just as the last few remaining early Jamestown residents had given up hope and boarded their ship to return to England and forsake this difficult land.
England had already had several major setbacks in America and was ready to give up on colonizing the new world, but with the new people and fresh supplies, Jamestown was saved and reestablished. Isaac was appointed a member of the Kings's Council to the colonies, a position he held for many years. All lands at this time were known as Virginia, named for the Virgin Queen. Maryland was sectioned out and established in 1632 when Charles Calvert came as the Lord Proprietary.
Isaac and Mary had their first son, John, born in England in 1607. Isaac and his family decided to immigrate to America in 1622. They brought with them their five servants and were granted several large tracts of land in what was then still Virginia. In 1623 Isaac and his wife Mary had daughter Mary and in 1625, son William was born.

Notes for William Chapline:
William Chapline was born in 1625. He died in 1669 in Calvert County, Maryland. William Chapline was born at the "Chapline's Choice" Plantation. He returned to England for school and in 1648, after coming back to Virginia, married Elizabeth Bancroft, a widow, with one daughter, Alice by her first marriage. She bore him his first child, Elizabeth in 1649. They immigrated to Maryland in the summer of 1649, with his wife's seven servants, where upon he received several tracts of land on the Patuxent River near Cedar Branch.
His wife Elizabeth died shortly after the move. In 1650 William married Mary Hooper of Dorchester County. He received a grant of 300 acres on Hooper's Island and used this to grow tobacco. He had a small home for his family plus houses for his servants and workers. William owned a large sloop which he used to travel back and forth across the bay, to manage his two plantations, haul his tobacco and visit his wife's family on Hooper's Island.

Notes for Edmund Plowden:
Edmund Plowden
Born: 1518 at Plowden Hall, Shropshire
Treasurer of the Middle Temple
Died: 6th February 1585 at London
Edmund was the son of Humphrey Plowden Esq. of Plowden Hall in Shropshire, by his wife, Elizabeth. He was educated at Cambridge but, taking no degree, went on to the Middle Temple, in 1538, to study law. Through hard work, he was thus able to become the most distinguished lawyer the late Tudor Age. It is said that, among the men of his profession, he was, not only easily first in knowledge of the law, but also second to none in integrity of character. He studied at Oxford for a while too and qualified as a surgeon and physician in 1552. Upon the accession of the Catholic Queen Mary, he was appointed one of the Council of the Marches (of Wales). In 1553, he was elected Member of Parliament for Wallingford (Berkshire), followed, the next year, by the same office for both Reading (Berkshire) and Wootton Bassett (Wiltshire). The unusual breadth of his religious views were shown early in his career when he, however, withdrew from the House, on 12th January 1555, because he disapproved of the proceedings there.
He continued to lecture on law at Middle Temple and was Treasurer there from 1561-1567. While occupying of this office, the magnificent hall of the inn was begun and, afterwards, he stayed on as “procurator and promoter for building the new Hall and making collections”. He was prevented from gaining further promotion under Queen Elizabeth on account of his steady loyalty to the Roman Catholic faith; and was viewed with increasing suspicion by the Privy Council which, in 1569, forced him to give bond to be on good behaviour in religious matters. At one time the Queen had wished to bestow the Lord Chancellorship upon Plowden, and wrote him a letter to that effect, asking only that he should join the Anglican Church in return, but his answer was as follows:
Hold me, dread Sovereign, excused. Your Majesty well knows, I find no reason to swerve from the Catholic Faith, in which you & I were brought up. I can never, therefore, countenance the persecution of its professors. I should not have in charge your Majesty's conscience one week, before I should incur your displeasure, if it be your Majesty's intent to continue the system of persecuting the retainer's of the Catholic Faith.
It is much to Elizabeth’s credit that this bold answer did not alter the esteem in which she continued to hold her faithful lawyer and servant to the end of his life. Perhaps this was because his opinions seem to have been held with a moderation equal to their firmness. He asked for a week in which to consider the Act of Uniformity before he sent in his refusal to observe it, and is said to have sometimes attended the services of the Church of English until 1570. It was apparently not until 1580 that articles were exhibited against him on the matter of religion.
Plowden’s written works include 'Les comentaries ou les reportes de Edmunde Plowden' (1571) (otherwise known as 'Quares del Monsieur Plowden') and 'A Treatise on Succession' which attempted to prove that Mary, Queen of Scots, was not debarred from the English throne under Henry VIII’s will. Edmund successfully defended Bishop Horne of Winchester, and helped other Catholics with his legal knowledge. On one occasion, while defending a gentleman charged with hearing Mass, he worked out that the service had been performed by a layman for the sole purpose of informing against those present, and exclaimed, "The case is altered; no priest, no Mass", and thus secured an acquittal. This incident has given rise to a common legal proverb: "The case is altered, quoth Plowden".
Edmund married Catherine Sheldon of Beoley and by her had three sons and three daughters. He succeeded to his father’s Shropshire estates in 1577; but, when not in London, seems to have resided mostly at Shiplake Court (Oxfordshire) and Wokefield Park (Berkshire) where he became associated with many of the local Catholic gentry. The protector of itinerant Catholic priests, Francis Perkins of Ufton Court, was his son-in-law and Plowden acquired the guardianship of young Francis Englefield, the nephew of the famous recusant, Sir Francis Englefield of Englefield. However, despite his over-generous dealings with the latter, he received little thanks in return.
Plowden died on 6th February 1585, leaving, as his heir, his eldest son and namesake. There is a portrait effigy on his tomb in the Temple Church and a bust in the Middle Temple Hall copied from one at Plowden.

Notes for Leonard Calvert:
Leonard Calvert was a country gentleman, apparently in easy circumstances, who owned land and raised cattle. He married about 1575 (estimated) Grace Crossland, daughter of Thomas and Joanna (Hawksworth) Crossland of Crossland Hill, Yorkshire. (See Foster's Visitations of Yorkshire) and descended from Roger de Crossland, of the time of Henry III.
Children of Leonard Calvert and Alicia Crossland are:
i. John Calvert, born Abt. 1574; died 1617 in North Ireland.
ii. George Calvert, born Abt. 1579.
Notes for George Calvert:
George was the son of Leonard and Alicia (de Crossland ) Calvert . He was born around 1580 in Kiplin Hall, Bolton-on-Swale. At 14 he was at Oxford where he graduated in 1597. He became secretary to a leading gentleman in English government, Robert Cecil. With Robert as a mentor and with encouragement from King James I, George attained a seat in Parliament, became a member of Privy Council, and became secretary of state. This much responsibility brought obvious difficulties however, and it became necessary for him to defend James I's unpopular Continental diplomacy. He also actively examined Irish grievances and acquired knighthood in 1617. He converted to Catholicism, and resigned as secretary of state. As a reward for his services the King titled him Baron Baltimore, and he became the First Lord Baltimore.
George Calvert was elevated to peerage in 1624 and became Baron Baltimore of Baltimore. He was granted lands in America north and east of the Potomac River, lands now known as the State of Maryland.
Baron Baltimore had been interested in the American colonies for years and had invested in the Virginia Company, located in Jamestown. He was a member of the Council for New England. In 1623 he obtained a charter from to be a founder of a new private colony in Newfoundland, and had feudal control over this land, a medieval authority. This allowed him to award titles of nobility, in his new colony, which he called Avalon. In 1627 he visited Avalon and his wife, Anne Mynne, daughter of George Mynne, Esquire of Herfordshire, went on to Virginia, later her ship was lost at sea. Baron Baltimore, George Calvert found Newfoundland to be a struggling colony and he decided to invest further in Virginia, he was not well received in Virginia and applied for a land grant for an area north of Virginia and he received the land grant for Maryland via his son Cecilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore because George had died. Maryland was named after the new King's wife, Henrietta Maria. Maryland was settled by the Calvert's in 1634 by Cecilius' brother Leonard Calvert who became one of the first settlers of Maryland.
George Calvert died before taking possession of the lands and his first son, Cecil Calvert, inherited both lands and title according to the law of primogeniture. Cecil appointed his younger brother, Leonard Calvert, First Governor of the Colony of Maryland.
The Great Seal of Maryland was brought to the Colony of Maryland from England in 1634 by Governor Calvert. That seal was decorated with the Arms of Calvert and Crosland quartered according to heraldic order. The same heraldic markings were much later adopted by the State of Maryland as the flag of the state.

83225. Joan, born Abt. 1537; died Bef. 1566.
Notes for Lord Sir Thomas Cornwell:
King Edward VI gave him the title of Lord of Fairsted in 1550. Although we do not know Thomas' ancestry, a descendant of this line of Cornwell's named Martin Nelson Cornwell supposedly was paid some small amount of monies by the Queen England in 1872 to relinquish all royal claims to the throne. Legend has it that he owned a shipping business on the Great Lakes in the United States when the "Great Fire" struck on Oct. 8, 1871. He and his family narrowly escaped with only themselves and the family bible. To start a new life, using only the family bible as evidence, he convinced an agent of Queen Victoria that he was entitled to a share of an inheritance to the "Estates of Cornwall" in England. For this he received a modest sum of money in return for his resignation of such rights in 1872. Soon after, Queen Victoria dissolved the Earldom of Cornwall/Cornwell. Galen Cornwell, a current day researcher, had inherited the 1872 document of the resignation of the rights of inheritance in a stack of papers which he did not open until 1990. At this point the document simply fell apart as he tried to open it. As for the family bible, it has not yet been located. A descendant from one generation previous to Galen Cornwell stated that it was in the possession of Franklin Cornwell's descendants of Liberty Twp., Decatur Co., Kansas. Any information leading to a simple previewing of this bible would be appreciated by many Cornwell descendants.

83301. Agnes Milliton, died 1553. She was the daughter of 166602. John Milliton.
Notes for Agnes Milliton:
No firm date is given in the Strode Visitations pedigree for the marriage of Richard Strowde of Newnham to Agnes Milliton, daughter of John Milliton of Meavy, but that it must have taken place sometime before 1512 can be deduced by a consideration of other information. Richard Strowde died on 5th December 1552, and on that date his son and heir, William Strode, was said to have been at least 40 years old. This lineage is actually correct for the marriage occurs in the line which is mapped out by the heraldry on the 1637 tomb to William Strode of Newnham, which can be seen in the church at Plympton St Mary.

Notes for Sir Ambrose Cave:
Sir Ambrose Cave, (d. 1568), chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster, was fourth son of Roger [Richard] Cave of Stanford, Northamptonshire, by his second wife, Margaret Saxby. It is stated that he was a student at one time at St. John's College, Cambridge, and at another at Magdalen, Oxford. In 1525 he visited Rhodes as a knight hospitaller of St. John of Jerusalem. He was a brother of the Knights' Hospital at Shingay, Cambridgeshire, the governorship of which he tried hard to obtain, and in 1540, when the order was dissolved, received a pension of 66£. 13s. 4d. He became sheriff of Warwickshire and Leicestershire in 1548, M.P. for Leicestershire 1545, 1547, and 1553, and for Warwickshire 1558, 1559, and 1562, a privy councillor on Elizabeth's accession, as one 'well affected to the protestant religion,' a commissioner to compound with holders of land worth 50£ a year who refused to be knighted 20 Dec. 1558 and 28 March 1559, chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster 22 Dec. 1558, and a commissioner 'for the northern parts towards Scotland and Berwick' a day later. In parliament Cave played a very small part. On 6 March 1558-9 he stated that a London alderman, Sir Thomas White 'misliked the Book of Common Prayer,' and White was summoned to the house, which readily accepted his explanation. Cave was busily employed in 1559. He was nominated a commissioner to administer the oath of supremacy, 31 March; a searcher of the books and lodgings of two bishops, White of Winchester and Watson of Lincoln, suspected of papist leanings, 3 April; a joint-lieutenant of Warwickshire, 26 May; a commissioner for the visitation of the dioceses of Oxford, Lincoln, Lichfield and Coventry, and Peterborough, 22 July; a commissioner for raising men in Warwickshire and Shropshire for service at Berwick, 25 Sept. On 13 Feb. 1563-4 he went on a special commission for the trial of murders, burglaries, and other felonies. Cave was often at court, and the story runs that he once picked up the queen's garter, which had slipped off while she was dancing; Elizabeth declined to take it from him; he thereupon tied it on his left arm, and said he would wear it all his life for the sake of his mistress. A portrait of Cave with the garter round his arm was formerly the property of the Rev. Sir Charles Cave of Theddingworth, Leicestershire. Cave died 2 April 1568, and was buried at Stanford.
He married Margaret, daughter of William Wilmington of Barcheston, Warwickshire, and widow of Thomas Holte, justice of North Wales. By her he had one child, Margaret, wife of Henry Knollys, son of Sir Henry Knollys, K.G.
Thomas Cave of Stanford, the grandson of Sir Ambrose's eldest brother, was created a baronet by Charles I 30 June 1641. Sir Thomas's family still survives, and bears the surname of Cave-Browne-Cave (Foster, Baronetage, pp. 110-11).

Notes for Walter de Hungerford:
Walter Hungerford was son and heir of Sir Thomas Hungerford, by his 2nd wife, Joan, was strongly attached to the Lancastrian cause at the close of Richard II's reign, his father having been steward in John of Gaunt's household. On Henry IV's accession he was granted an annuity of 40 pounds out of the lands of Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk, and was knighted. In Oct 1400 he was returned to Parliament as member for Wiltshire, and was re-elected for that constituency in 1404, 1407, 1413, and Jan 1413-14, and represented the county of Somerset in 1409. He acted as speaker in the parliament meeting on 29 Jan 1413-14, the last parliament in which he sat in the House of Commons.
Hungerford had already won renown as a warrior. In 1401 he was with the English army in France, and is said to have worsted the French King in a duel outside Calais; he distinguished himself in battle and tournament, and received substantial reward. In consideration of his services he was granted in 1403 one hundred marks per annum, payable by the town and castle of Marlborough, Wiltshire, and was appointed sheriff of Wiltshire. On 22 Jul 1414 he was nominated Ambassador to treat for a league with Sigismund, King of the Romans, and as English envoy attended the council of Constance in that and the following year. In the autumn of 1415 Hungerford accompanied Henry V to France with twenty men-at-arms and sixty horse archers. He, rather than the Earl of Westmoreland, as in Shakespeare's 'Henry V', seems to have been the officer who expressed, on the eve of Agincourt, regret that the English had not ten thousand archers, and drew from the King a famous rebuke. He fought bravely at the battle of Agincourt, but the assertion that he made the Duke of Orleans prisoner is not substantiated. He was employed in May 1416 in diplomatic negotiations with Ambassadors of Theodoric, Archbishop of Cologne, and in Nov 1417 with envoys from from France. In 1417 he was made Admiral of the fleet under John, Duke of Bedford, and was with Henry V in 1418 at the siege of Rouen. In Nov of the latter year he is designated the steward of the king's household, and was granted the Barony of Homet in Normandy. He took part in the peace negotiations of 1419, and on 3 May 1421 was installed Knight of the Garter.
Hungerford was an executor of Henry V's will, and in 1422 became a member of Protector Gloucester's council. In 1424 he was made steward of the household of the infant King, Henry VI, and on 7 Jan 1425-6 was summoned to the House of Lords as Baron Hungerford. The summons was continued to him till his death. Hungerford became treasurer in succession to Bishop Stafford, when Bishop Beaufort's resignation of the great seal in Mar 1426-7 placed Gloucestershire in supreme power. He acted as carver at Henry VI's coronation in Paris in Dec 1430, but on the change of ministry which followed Henry VI's return from France in Feb 1431-2, he ceased to be treasurer. He attended the conference at Arms in 1435. He died on 9 Aug 1449, and was buried beside his first wife in Salisbury Cathedral, within the iron chapel erected by himself, which is still extant, although removed from its original position. By his marriages and royal grants Hungerford added largely to the family estates. He was a man of piety, and built chanteries at Heytesbury and Chippenham, and made bequests to Salisbury and Bath Cathedrals. In 1428 he presented valuable estates to the Free Royal Chapel in the palace of St. Stephen at Westminster. He also built an almshouse for twelve poor men and a woman, and a schoolmaster's residence at Heytesbury. The original building was destroyed in 1765, but the endowment, which was regulated by statutes drawn up by Margaret of Botreaux, wife of Hungerford's son Robert, still continues. Hungerford's will is printed in Nicolas's 'Testamenta Vetusta,' pp. 257-9. He left his 'best legend of the lives of the saints' to his daughter-in-law, Margaret, and a cup which John of Gaunt had used to John, Viscount Beaumont.

Germond, of Barkaway, and, the youngest (Thomas, of Ferrers) to Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Gurdon, of Assington, whilst his two other sons, Julian and Barnaby, both died without issue. William, the eldest son of William Waldegrave, of Ilford, married Dorothy, daughter of Richard Donnington, of Hackney, the issue of that marriage being two daughters, Margaret and Dorothy, both of whom died unmarried. Thomas, the youngest son of Thomas Waldegrave, took up his father's residence at Ferrers, Bures Hamlet, and had Thomas (who married Margaret, daughter and heir of John Holinshead, of Hempstead, Essex, and had Margaret, who died unmarried), John and William, who died without issue, and two daughters, Elizabeth and Mary, the latter marrying Isaac Wyncoll.

2. "One of the most distinguished members of the Waldegrave family was Sir William Waldegrave, who was nominated 5 Henry VIII as one of the most discreet persons for assessing and collecting the Subsidy." - Proceedings of the Suffolk Archaeological Society, vol. iv., pp. 357, 358. Queen Elizabeth twice visited Smallbridge in her progress through the Eastern Counties; once in 1561 and again in 1579 - Ibid.
In proof of the above, the following references are interesting:- Harl. MSS. 1541, fo. 71b., gives the whole of these quarterings to our ancestor, Waldegrave, as does Harl. MSS. 4600, p. 21/12 to Graye of Pelham. Copy of Visitations made by Harvey, Clarancieux Herald, and Harl. MSS. 1531, fol. 55, Visitation of Bedfordshire, 1566, give Graye the quarterings 7 to 14 with the following pedigree, which shows Elizabeth Graye to have been an heiress, and that her husband and heirs were entitled to the quarterings.3
According to Morant, the Waldegrave family is "said to have flourished in this Kingdom before the Conquest and to have been originally seated in Northamptonshire, where they gave name to the parish of Waldegrave. John de Waldegrave, it is reported (see Weever's Funeral Monuments, p.757-758), lost his lands upon the Conqueror's invasion, but having an only daughter and meeting with a namesake of his in William's service that was come out of Germany, upon conferring together they found they were related, and the German promised the other to obtain a restitution of his lands, and a pardon from the Conqueror if he would give him his daughter in marriage. It was accordingly performed. The pardon and re-grant of the lands, in old French, with King William's seal, remained in the possession of the Lord of Navestock Manor in the year 1612" (see Morant's Essex, vol. i. p.181).

Notes for Sir John Fray:
So early as in the reign of Richard II, John Fray held the manor of Coldridge or Codered, in Hertfordshire; for which county he was returned to parliament in 8 Henry V. In 2 Henry VI., being then Recorder of London, he was one of the commissioners appointed with the mayor of that city to enquire into the treasons of John Mortimer.
He was raised to the bench as a baron of the Exchequer in 4 Henry VI, 1425-6, and is mentioned in that character on July 15, 1428. Dugdale does not introduce him into that court till February 8, 1435, 13 Henry VI.; but that is the date of his advancement to be the second baron. In February the seventh year he was sent as a justice of assize into Norfolk, from which it may be inferred that he was a serjeant-at-law; and in every subsequent year both before and after Dugdale's date was he so employed.
In the twenty-second year of Henry VI, Chief Baron John Fray received "for his winter robe against Christmas, 'x' ells of violet in grain; trimmed with various minever." The same judge received "for his summer robe, against Whitsuntide, ten ells of green cloth long, and half of a piece of green tartarin."
When he had presided in the court for twelve years he was succeeded on May 2, 1448, 26 Henry VI., by Peter Arderne. Two years afterwards we find him delivering a silver seal out of the treasury to the new chancellor, Cardinal Kempe, being described as "deputatum Jacobi Fenys, militis," the treasurer of England. As it is not likely that he should have held the office of sub-treasurer at that time, it is probable that he acted on the occasion as an accidental substitute for the absent officer.
In the same year an act was passed for the resumption of all of the king's grants, from which he was exempted 40 # yearly out of 100 marks given to him for live out of the ferm of London and Middlesex, with a yearly robe, vesture, and furrure. It is worthy of remark that his patent for this was dated in 21 Henry VI., when he was chief baron; and that the robe, &c. was continued to him after he had retired from the office.
Among his possessions in Hertfordshire was the manor of Munden, in right of which he had the patronage of Rowheiny or Roweney nunnery. The prioress of it having, in consequence of its lands and revenues being insufficient for its support, surrendered them and the house to him, he obtaining a licence dated June 30, 1459, 37 Henry VI., empowering him to transfer the property to a chantry he had founded in the church of the nunnery, to be called the chantry of Saint John the Baptist of Roweney, for a perpetual chaplain to pray for the souls of the founders and for the good estate of the king, &c., and of John Fray. He was also a benefactor to the Abbey of St. Albans and to the Priory of Elsingspitle.
There is no other evidence of the part he took in the contest between the Roses, except that he made a loan (perhaps a compulsory one) of 200 # to King Edward IV, in this first year. At the close of that year, 1461, he died, and was buried in the church of St. Bartholomew the Little, in London; in which Margaret, one of his daughters and co-heirs, then the wife of Sir John Leynham, afterwards built a chantry.
He left large estates in the counties of Bedford, Essex, and Hertford; which as he had no sons, were divided among his five daughters. His wife Agnes, or Annes, one of the daughters of John Danvers, of Cothorp, Northamptonshire, and sister of the judges Sir Robert and Sir William Danvers, survived him till 1478, having since his death had two other husbands, viz., John, Lord Wenlock, who was killed in the field of Tewkesbury in 1471; and Sir John Say, knight, who also died before her.

Notes for Sir Ralph de Neville:
Ralph, 1st Earl of Westmoreland was the eldest son of John Neville. He appeared as Earl Westmoreland in the plays Henry IV, part 1 part 2, and Henry V by Shakespeare. He was born circa 1364 in Castle Raby, Staindrop, County Durham, England. He was the son of John (de Nevill), 3rd Lord Neville and Maud Percy. He was was knighted in the French expedition by Thomas of Woodstock in 1380. He married Margaret de Stafford, daughter of Hugh, 2nd Earl of Stafford and Philippe de Beauchamp. 4th Neville Baron of Raby, County Durham, England, 1388. He married Joan Beaufort, Lady Ferrers de Wemme, daughter of John, "of Gaunt," Duke of Lancaster and Catherine de Roët L.G., on 29 November 1396 in Chateau de Beaufort, Meuse-et-Loire, France; His 2nd. Her 2nd (widow). 1st Earl of Westmoreland, 29 September 1397. He was secured the deposition of Richard II, supporting the siezure of power by his brother-in-law, Henry IV, in 1399. Marshall of England, September 1399. He was granted, for life, the valuable honour of Richmond, Yorkshire in October 1399. He was nominated into the Order of the Garter, #105, circa 1403. He helped suppress the Percy rebellion in the North in 1403. He was intercepted rebel forces at Shipton Moor, near York in 1405. Tricking them into surrender, the rising in Yorkshire thus lost much strength. He was a member of the Council of Regency under John, Duke of Bedford, in 1415. He took no part in the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. Shakespeare thought he was present. Nor was he in later French campaigns. He had now become very experienced in Scottish affairs, having long been a warden of the West March of Scotland, and was charged with the safekeeping of the northern border during Henry V's absences in France. He left a will on 18 October 1424. He died on 21 October 1425 in Raby Castle, Staindrop, County Durham, England. Ralph, 1st Earl of Westmoreland was buried in St. Marys, Staindrop, County Durham, England. "The fortunes of the village of Staindrop have always depended on the lords of Raby, and the church of St Mary houses many of their bones under opulent memorials. Particularly splendid is the alabaster memorial to Ralph Neville (died 1425), grandfather of Edward IV and Richard III." MS Auto-Route Express GB 98. His estate was probated between 14 November 1425 and 7 October 1426.
Notes for Lady Joan de Beaufort:
Born in about 1379, Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmoreland, was the fourth child (and only daughter) of John of Gaunt and his mistress Katherine Swynford. Joan married Robert Ferrers, 2nd Baron Ferrers of Wemme, and they had two daughters before he died. Along with her three brothers, Joan was privately declared legitimate by their cousin Richard II of England in 1390, but for some reason their father secured another such declaration from Parliament in January 1397. Perhaps the reason was that on 3 February 1397, when she was 18, Joan married Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmoreland, who had also been married once before. They had at least ten children, one of whom was Cecily Neville (1415 - 1495) ("Proud Cis"), who married Richard, Duke of York (1411 - 1460), and two of their children became Edward IV of England and Richard III of England.
Joan died on 13 November 1440 and was entombed next to her mother in the sanctuary of Lincoln Cathedral. Joan's is the smaller of the two tombs; both were decorated with brass plates -- full-length representations of them on the tops, and small shields bearing coats of arms around the sides -- but those were damaged or destroyed in 1644 during the English Civil War. A 1640 drawing of them survives, showing what the tombs looked like when they were intact, and side-by-side instead of end-to-end, as they are now.

Notes for Richard Plantagenet:
Richard, Duke of York, 1411-60, English nobleman and claimant to the throne, was descended from Edward III through his father, Richard, Earl of Cambridge, grandson of that king, and also through his mother, Anne Mortimer, great-granddaughter of Lionel, Duke of Clarence, who was the third son of Edward III. Richard was brought up as a royal ward, having become Duke of York on the death of his uncle Edward in 1415. He inherited (1425) the vast estates of another uncle, Edmund de Mortimer, 5th Earl of March, which made him the richest landholder in England. He served in the retinue of Henry VI in France (1431) and was lieutenant general of France and Normandy (1436-37). In 1438 he married Cecily Neville, daughter of the earl of Westmoreland. He served again as lieutenant general in France from 1441 to 1445 but became increasingly discontented with the English government, which diverted men and funds from his operations to those of John Beaufort, 1st Duke of Somerset. The death of the king's uncle Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, in 1447 made York heir presumptive to the throne, and the government, to get him out of the way, promptly ordered him to Ireland as lieutenant. He did not go until 1449 and returned in 1450 to struggle against the growing power of Queen Margaret of Anjou and Edmund Beaufort, 2d Duke of Somerset. In 1453 a son born to Henry VI displaced York as heir to the throne, but the onset of the king's insanity enabled York to secure control of the government as protector (1454). Dismissed when the king recovered, York resorted to arms (see Roses, Wars of the) and, with the help of his wife's relatives, most notably Richard Neville, earl of Warwick, won the first battle of St. Albans (1455), in which Somerset was killed. After this victory York once more became protector, but by 1456 the queen's faction had regained power. Forced to flee to Ireland in 1459, York returned after the victory of his supporters at Northampton (1460) and for the first time laid claim to the throne. A compromise was arranged by which York was recognized as protector and heir apparent to the throne, but Margaret (whose own son had thus been disinherited) gathered her forces and defeated the Yorkists at the battle of Wakefield, in which York was slain. His son, Edward of York, however, was to secure the throne as Edward IV.

Notes for Sir Henry de Percy:
Henry , 2nd Earl of Northumberland (1414-1455):
Henry was 17 years old when his grandfather died. When Henry was 12 he and James (youngest son of the Scottish King) were sailing to France where they were to be educated, when their ship was captured by English privateers. They were taken prisoner and sent to Windsor Castle. Here Henry and the Prince of Wales became close childhood friends.
The Prince was eventually crowned King Henry V, he restored back to his close friend, Henry Percy, all of his honors and estates in 1414. When King Henry V invaded France his trust in his close friend was so great he made Henry General Warden of the Marches, a post which he held throughout Henry V’s reign and the early years of King Henry VI. Like his forefathers before him Henry fought against the Scots throughout his lifetime.
"About 1424 the town of Alnwick was burnt by the Scots." In 1436, Henry leading his force up the Breamish river towards Scotland was defeated by Douglas at Piperden. Henry’s cousin Sir Richard Percy was killed. "This fight is interesting as it probably forms the source of the legendary Battle of Chevy Chase. Northumberland retired to Alnwick where he rallied his forces and marched to the relief of Roxburgh, which was holding out gallantly against the Scots. Under the walls of that town he defeated and dispersed the Scottish army. This Scottish expedition became known an the ‘Dirtin Raid’."
In 1448, Henry to revenge the burning of the town of Alnwick, burnt Dumfries in Scotland. Henry returned to Scotland again with a large army which ended in defeat at the river Sark in Annandale. His son saved Henry’s life here, but his son (Henry) was captured by the Scots. In 1452 the Wars of the Roses began. Henry took the Lancastrian side, and was killed in the first battle in this long struggle for supremacy, at St. Albans in 1455. Henry was succeeded by his son Henry.

Notes for Richard de Neville:
Richard "Prudence", Earl of Salisbury was constituted by the Yorkists as Lord Great Chamberlain of England. He bore his paternal arms, Gules a Saltire Argent, which, as a cadet, he differenced with a label of three points in the Lancastrian colors of silver and blue, a reference to his mother, Joan Beaufort, the legitmated daughter of John of Gaunt.

He inherited, on the death of Thomas Montagu, Earl of Salisbury, the Salisbury and Monthermer titles and arms (Quarterly Argent, three fusils conjoined in fess gules and Gold an Eagle displayed Vert) through his wife, who was Earl Thomas' heir, and these he quartered with precedence before his own paternal coat in 1428. He married Alice, Countess of Salisbury, daughter of Thomas de Montagu, 4th Earl of Salisbury and Lady Eleanor, in 1428. 5th Earl of Salisbury, England, between 1428 and 1460.

Richard "Prudence", Earl of Salisbury was buried in St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, England. His Order of the Garter Stall Plate is in South 11.
Notes for Lady Alice de Montague:
Alice Montague daughter of General Thomas, became at his death Countess of Salisbury.
She married Sir Richard Nevil, who in her right became Earl of Salisbury. He was the eldest son of Ralph, first Earl of Westmoreland. He followed the York party, was taken prisoner in a battle at Wakefield and beheaded. At his death, their eldest son, Richard Nevil, succeeded to the title of Earl of Salisbury, and, in right of his father, Earl of Warwick.
He was that Earl of Warwick, to whom the House of York owe their ascent to the throne. He also bore the titles of lord Monthermer, great chamberlain and High Admiral of England, lord Warden of the north marches toward Scotland and High Steward of the Duchy of Lancaster, and among his many titles, was also known as "the: King maker." He was a man of invincible courage and took delight in dangers, engaged his country in a fresh civil war in which he lost his life. He was slain at the battle of garnet, 14th April, 1471, though some authors affirm that he was murdered by his own party.
John Nevil, the younger of the two sons of Richard and Alice (Montague) Nevil, Earl of Salisbury, was 1st of Edward IV. created Baron Nevil of Montague, and 10th of the same reign, Marquis of Montague.
He was slain at the battle of garnet, (some say murdered) 147r, while endeavoring to succor his brother Richard, Earl of Warwick.
They were both laid in state at Westminster, London, and afterward were carried to Bisham Abbey and buried among their ancestors.
Richard Nevil, Earl of Salisbury and Warwick, had two daughters namely, Isabel, married to George, Duke of Clarence, and Anne, married first to Edward, Prince of Wales, son of Henry VI; second to King Richard III.
George, Duke of Clarence, was murdered in a hogshead of wine, leaving his wife Isabel with an only son Edward who was beheaded on Tower hill at the age of fifteen by order of Henry VII, and an only daughter Margaret who became Countess of Salisbury in right of her mother. She was the last Countess of Salisbury and with her death the title became extinct until revived in the person of Cecil, in the year 1605 by King James.
The title of Countess of Salisbury had been restored to Margaret by Henry VIII in full parliament about the fifth year of his reign.
Both George, Duke of Clarence, (who was a brother of both King Richard III and Edward IV) and his unfortunate son, the young Edward, were taken to Bisham Abbey and buried among their ancestors. Margaret the last Countess of Salisbury, married Sir Richard Pole (also often spelled Poole), and had four sons and one daughter. Ursula, married Henry Stafford, son of the Duke of Buckingham. She was beheaded 27th of May, z3d of Henry VIII. The sons were, Henry Pole, created Baron Montague, Sir Arthur, Sir Jeffray, and Reginald Pole who was Dean of Winburne, then made a Cardinal by Pope Paul III., and afterward Archbishop of Canterbury. He was, for his religion, banished from England by King Henry VIII. He went to Rome and became eminent with Pope Paul III., at whose death he was unanimously chosen Pope, as. his successor. This he refused to accept. " Thereupon, one night the Cardinals came unto him, being in bed, and sent him word they came to adore him (which is one special kinde of electing the Pope) but he being awakened and made acquainted with it was firm in his refusal."-(Baker's Chronicles). The Cardinals remained with him all night.
Her son, Henry Pole, was made Baron Montague in 1504 by King Henry VII. He married Jane, dau. of Sir George Nevil, lord of Abergeveney. Being connected with a plot to re-instate his brother, Reginald, Cardinal Pole, he was beheaded upon Tower hill in 1538, together with his co-plotters and relatives, Henry Courtney, Marquis of Exeter, and Sir Edward Nevil. Sir Jeffry Pole was concerned in the same plot but gained his pardon by becoming informer. Sir Reginald the Cardinal was chosen to become the husband of Queen Mary (Bloody Mary) to whom he was much attached. He died the 18th November, 1558, on the next day after the death of Queen Mary. The mother, Margaret pole, Countess of Salisbury, now at the age of seventy years, was beheaded by Henry VIII. in the year 1541.
Anne, the other daughter of Richard Nevil, Earl of Salisbury and Warwick, married King Richard III. They had one only son Edward whom his uncle, King Edward IV., in the 17th year of his reign created Earl of Salisbury, and Richard his father, usurping the Kingdom, made Prince of Wales. He died young and his mother soon after died, not without suspicion of poison. While King Richard himself perished upon the field of Bosworth.
Thus in darkness and blood, and in a violent manner, upon the scaffold, perished the descendants of Alice Montague the gentle and only daughter of General Thomas Montague, fourth and last Earl of Salisbury of the name of Montague, and this branch so prolific in great men, who bathed all England in blood during the dissensions of the Houses of York and Lancaster, became extinct.
Their lineage has thus been traced to its final ending, not because it is supposed the American family were lineally descended from any of these personages who are so well known in history, but because they all lived previous to the year 1550, at which date the will of William Montague, from whom it is known that the American family are descended, was proved, and therefore it would not be out of place to mention their history as descendants of the Earls of Salisbury.

Notes for Richard Neville:
Richard Neville
(1428-1471)
Born: 22nd November 1428
traditionally at Bisham, Berkshire
Earl of Warwick
Earl of Salisbury
Died: 14th April 1471
at the Battle of Barnet, Essex
Commonly known as the “King-Maker,” Richard Neville was the eldest son of his namesake, Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury, by Alice daughter and heiress of Thomas Montacute, 4th Earl of Salisbury. He is said to have been born at the family manor of Bisham in Berkshire on 22nd November 1428. Richard’s Earldom of Warwick came from his marriage, at the age of six, to the sister of the last of the Beauchamp family who held that title and was, at that time, the richest and most powerful Earldom in England. His greatest castles were Warwick (Warks), Cardiff (Glams), Abergavenny (Monmouths) and Barnard (Durham), but he also favoured Caversham (Oxon) and others.
The Earl of Salisbury’s sister was married to the Royal claimant, the Earl of York. Her brother and nephew therefore became the greatest supporters of the Yorkist cause against Margaret of Anjou and the Beauforts, who swayed the mind of the unworldly Henry VI. In this capacity, the Earl of Warwick won for the Yorkists the first battle of the civil wars, at St. Albans, in 1455. After this victory, poor Henry was obliged to make his enemy 'Captain of Calais', a position which gave Richard command of the only real standing force in the English dominions. It also gave him command of a considerable fleet with which, in 1458-9, he did good service against Spanish fleets in the Channel. In the same year, Warwick joined his uncle, the Duke of York, in the West of England, was defeated with him by the Lancastrians at Ludford and fled back to Calais by way of Guernsey. Thence in 1460 to Ireland and then again to Calais. In the summer of that year, he was back in England and helped to win, for the Yorkists, the Battle of Northampton. While York and Warwick's father, Salisbury, went northwards to meet the forces which Queen Margaret had raised in Scotland and Yorkshire, Warwick remained in London in charge of Henry, whom he still professed to regard as King. His father's death at the Battle of Wakefield left Warwick head of the Neville family and added to his castles the great Yorkshire strongholds of Middleham and Sheriff Hutton. While York's death - though it left the nominal headship of the party to his son, the young Earl of March - gave Warwick undisputed command of the policy of that party.
In February 1461, the Earl marched out, with poor Henry in his train, to meet the great Lancastrian army at St. Albans. He was beaten by it and fled to join March, who in the West had won the Battle of Mortimer's Cross. Edward IV, as March now claimed to be, entered London as a victor, with Warwick as his “King-Maker” by his side. It was not, however, Warwick but Edward himself whose generalship was responsible for the final Yorkist victory at Towton on Palm Sunday 1461. Edward rewarded his great subject with the wardenships of the Cinque Ports and of the Scottish Marches and the office of Chamberlain; and Warwick's riches must have been enormous.
Warwick seems to have had some skill in diplomacy and, for the first few years of the reign, Edward left most things in his hands. But he was anxious that the King should marry either one of his own daughters or a French princess chosen by himself. Wherefore Edward's marriage with Elizabeth Woodville and, still more, the favours which he showered on her relations, soon roused the jealousy of the Earl. By the year 1468, he seems to have determined to upset Edward's throne by some means or another. However, as too deep a stream of blood which he himself had spilt seemed to run between him and the Lancastrians, he turned to Edward's second brother, the Duke of Clarence. He married the young duke to his eldest daughter and raised an insurrection which he allowed Clarence to think would ultimately put him upon the throne. Edward, a lazy man, was caught napping and allowed Warwick to take him prisoner; but then Warwick altogether belied his reputation for craft and reconciled himself to Edward, who, as soon as he was free, drove him from the Kingdom.
There was now but one thing for the Earl to do. He must throw himself at the feet of the haughty Queen Margaret, whom he had slandered and vilified in every possible way, and by her agency raise the flag of King Henry. Louis XI of France, Warwick's steady friend, was able to mediate this astonishing alliance. The Nevilles rose for Warwick and the Western Lancastrians for Henry. Edward was driven from his Kingdom to the Burgundian Court, where his sister was queen, and the Kingmaker landed in England in October 1470. He thus 'remade,' as he had previously unmade, Henry VI as King of England; but Queen Margaret delayed her return. The restored government was profoundly unpopular in London and Clarence, nominally Warwick's ally, became discontented when Warwick married his other daughter to Prince Edward of Lancaster. This situation enabled King Edward to return in March 1471. He caught Warwick in a trap at Barnet, slew him and then advanced to meet and destroy the true Lancastrian army at Tewkesbury. He was laid to rest in his mother’s family mausoleum of Bisham Abbey (Berks).
Warwick, in spite of his great reputation, was merely a selfish baron of the worst type of the bastard-feudal age of the fifteenth century. His enormous riches bought him a following, which he was able to reward from the goods and lands of his enemies.

Notes for Sir William Cary:
Sir William Cary, Knight, son of Philip, was born in 1437. He married Elizabeth Paulett. He was known as the Knight of Cockington.
He was an ardent supporter of the House of Lancaster, and took an active part in the struggle between the adherents of Henry VI and Edward IV in the War of the Roses.
At the battle of Tewksbury on May 4, 1471, the Lancastrians were defeated, and William with others took refuge in the Abbey Church. According to the customs of those times the church was a "sanctuary," and they could not be taken out of it. They were enticed out on a promise of pardon and two days later were beheaded. His property was confiscated as usual in such cases, but Henry VII restored it to his son Robert. I cannot ascertain for what reason, but probably because that king was a scion of the House of Lancaster in whose cause his father lost his life and property.
William left two sons, Robert, born in 1460, and Thomas born in 1465. From Thomas sprang the three lines of nobles, and from Robert the families of Clovelly, Torre Abbey and Somersetshire. --Reign of Henry VI and Edward IV
