I have no idea how I missed you. My grgrandfarther's name was James Percival (son of James Percival who married Mary Jane Nobles). I have always hit a brickwall at this point. I have been in contact with THouston on a few occasiona via email. She sent me as she has probably sent you the family history she has gathered over the years. Could you please shed some light on James Percival and Mary Jane Nobles....my grgrandparents left the South and came north. This is where the family stories get a little confusing. When did he come to the U.S.? Why was he an indentured servant? What was his parents name? My goal is to collect as much information to pass on to my children and grandchildren.

Alexander Percival

jane_happell — 2009-05-15 01:30:49Z

I am looking for a Alexander Percival born about 1761 in either England or Ireland. He seems to be the earliest Percival in the Leitrim /Longford area of Ireland and we have no idea where he came from. His sons were probably Thomas, John, William,Arthur and Samuel and daughters and grand daughters....Elizabeth and Frances.They were protestant and most of them were farmers except the first Alexander who died in 1860 and had been in the constabulary at least some of his life.
Does anyone have these names in their families?

Re: Percivals from Chappel Essex

parkavenue47 — 2008-09-08 16:38:35Z

There is a marriage recorded at St Giles, Colchester on 9 March 1788 between Edward Pasfield and Susanna Evans. Percivals were often recorded as Pasfield, or something similar, in those days.
It is known that Susannah Percival is shown in the 1851 census as having been born in Great Tey c1770. Was she Susanna Evans? Quite possibly yes, as there is a baptism for a Susanna Evans at Great Tey on 10 Dec 1769, the daughter of John and Elizabeth Evans.
Furthermore, one of the witnesses to the marriage had the surname Blackwell, a name that was prominent in Great Tey!
It does seem likely that this was the marriage of Edward and Susannah Percival, although perhaps the evidence is not absolutely conclusive!

Anna Maria Perceval

AUSTFoulds — 2008-06-17 05:50:32Z

Hi,

I have a Miss Anna Maria Perceval of Knightsbrook, co. Meath, who married Colonel (later Major-General) Thomas Hawkshaw/Hawkeshaw of the East India Co. in 1807 in London. He died 1819 in London and she died 1854 in Perth, Scotland.

Thomas' eldest daughter from his marriage to Gertrude Christiana Hatfeldt (nee van Renen), Charlotte Wilhelmina Hawkshaw/Hawkeshaw, married Westby Percival of Knightsbrook, co. Meath on 14 Jan 1813 at Marybone/Marylebone Church. Charlotte died a widow in 1856.

They had a son, Westby Hawkshaw Perceval, who married Sarah Brook Bailey, in 1851 at Southsea, Hampshire. Westby and Sarah went to New Zealand and had a son along the way, Westby Brook Perceval in Launceston, Tasmania in 1854. He married Jessie Maria Rose Johnston on 11 May 1880.

I can't figure out how Anna Maria Perceval and Westby Perceval are related. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks for your help

sir james percival, missing or misplaced children

momac46 — 2007-06-22 03:08:23Z

there are a few sources that show 2 sets of children born to james and mary rainsford. john b 1654, james b 1656, elizabeth b 1658 and another eliz born 1662!
it doesnt make sense as the parents were married in 1671 and then the other set of children begins with james b 1671, eliz b 1675, mary 1677, john 1680!
i found a record in virginia of an eliz and john immigrating there in a ship in 1654. someone please help me find out if these earlier children are real. too many times children die and they name the next one the same name and it is possible that james had an earlier marriage bef he came to america. or was he really born in MA???

hello, its been a long time since you put this in here! have you found what you are looking for? i recognize several names here! i am trying to find an elizabeth percival born in the mid 1600's as well as a brother named john and james. my records show they belong to sir james and mary rainsford but they didnt get married until 1671. you show that as a birth date?
what do you have now?

Re: Irish Indentured Servants

momac46 — 2007-06-20 00:35:00Z

i too am looking for more info on sir james percival. i have a short nnote on how he got the title sir but it isnt proven. my frustration is in finding who 3 repeated names of children are listed as his. john, james, elizabeth. born in the mid 1600's+. my records show that he didnt get married until 1671 and had a john, james and eliz. aft that time. i cant find any documentation that they existed as far as the dates/names/places i have listed. perhaps they belong to another mother before mary rainsford? and they all died or were sold as slaves or something??? anyone know if they exist or are they an assumption?

Re: Irish Indentured Servants

momac46 — 2007-06-24 14:46:18Z

thank you for your reply. i have the same info but still needed to know for sure that the earlier dates found in a few resources online where just errors for the same children since they always named the next child the same name aft one died. so confusing! i ran across a tidbit on ancestry but i lost it bef i could record it. anyway it was talking about some kind of gov upset that caused people to flee the states. something about children slavery. i just couldnt help but wonder if that had something to do with him stealing a boat and fleeing with his children?! anyway interesting thought.

Re: Percival/Percifull - North Crawley, Buckinghamshire

poussinpaints — 2008-07-11 22:21:36Z

Hi Katherine

I was in Bucks County Archives today and found out that Walter Eli's father was William Percifull/Percival. Walter was born in 1863 and his father in 1839. Ann Percival it turns out was William's elder sister, born a year earlier.

I looked through the original North Crawley Marriages Register from 1837 to 1955 and Ann's marriage is in it to Reuben Glidewell on Nov 6 1860.

It would be very interesting to compare further notes with you as you have clearly gone back a long way! This is my wife's Ancestry account so it may be easier to contact me at martinpercival@yahoo.com

I can find no Percival in Chester at that time. Later,an Orrin E. Percival b. 1802, married a Maria Toogood. Therefore I thought possibly Hannah was sister to this Orrin.

Percivals from Chappel Essex

tkirkland181 — 2008-07-28 09:13:15Z

Hi have started a family tree for percivals,,and cannot seem to go back further than Edward and Susanne about the 1700's can anyone shed any light on ancestors before this time,,many thanks

Re: Percivals from Chappel Essex

parkavenue47 — 2008-08-13 08:44:05Z

I am a descendant of James Percival (1802) through his son William (1829), and I have also failed to find the marriage of Edward and Susannah, c1788, which might have enabled the family to be traced back further.
There were Percivals living in various villages in the northern part of Essex. Edward might have come from one of these places, but the best "match" I have found so far is an Edward Percival, baptised Gestingthorpe in 1764. Our Edward was recorded as aged 51 when he died in 1818, but it is always possible that his age could have been wrongly stated, as most people were illiterate and innumerate in those days. Our Edward might have been the Gestingthorpe man, but it seems unlikely that this can be proved conclusively! It is also possible that he was not an Essex man at all.
According to the 1851 census, Susannah (recorded as "Percifull") was born in Great Tey, but there is definitely no marriage for Edward Percival and Susannah X recorded there, nor at Chappel or other nearby places.
I think there are several of us looking, maybe someone will find something one day!

Re: Irish Indentured Servants

ackruszka — 2007-06-24 14:51:43Z

There are no records of a prior marriage or children. There were no other Percivals on the boat. There was an Isham however.

What is the info about James earning the title "Sir". I find this highly suspect as I have seen the Sir in reference to him, but have never seen any proof on this.

Re: Irish Indentured Servants

ackruszka — 2007-06-24 03:56:22Z

-Elizabeth Percival, daughter of James & Mary Rainsford Percival was born in 1675, legitimate daughter of James & Mary. She married Joseph Ashley.
-James Percival, Jr. born 1671, married Abigail Robinson. I descend from this line.
-John Percival born about 1680, married Mary Bourne.

I have not heard this story of how James, Sr. received his so-called title. He does appear, however, in Plimoth Court records as being fined for stealing a boat in Virginia and sailing it to Massachusetts.

Re: sir james percival, missing or misplaced children

oldbuckhouse51 — 2007-06-22 20:21:42Z

Hello again,

There's something else I neglected to mention, regarding the marriage date of Lt Sir James Percival and Mary Raynsford Bassett Percival.....

I happened on, "Immigrants to New England", one section is about Edward Rainsford, father of Mary (above). She was the twin to Josiah, and children of his first wife. Following the listing of children from the first marriage of Edward, it is noted under Mary:

b 1 June 1632; bp 17 June 1632; m "by about" 1652 to William Bassett, son of (blank); m (2) "by about" 1671 James Percival (eldest known child b Sandwich 18 Jan 1671/72

The marriage year, 1671, is "about". If there's any documentation stating they were married is this year, most of us would certainly like to be pointed in that direction.

Happy Hunting!

Re: sir james percival, missing or misplaced children

oldbuckhouse51 — 2007-06-22 15:01:12Z

Hello,

What you located on Eliz and John may very well be a sib, as James does name a child John. I'm not inclined to believe there are 2 sets of children, though. Where did you see the sources?

Lt (Sir) James Percival was in Virginia prior to MA. There's an intersting story as to how he arrived in MA; taking a ship and sailing it there. Details of this incident can be read by making a search on the net. It may be at Virginia State Library.

I also found a record for South Carolina 1670-1674:

Primary Immigrant, Andrew Percival, wife Essex (possibly Elizabeth), son Andrew, son James and dtr Mary.
I'm more inclined to research this data.

You can contact me,

James and Mary Raynsford Bassett Percival are my 9th great grandparents.

In 2005, I ran across a Passenger and Immigration record, 1670-1674 for South Carolina. Listed:

Andrew Percival, wife Essex (possibly Elizabeth), son Andrew, son James and dtr Mary. I've not had a chance to delve into this at great lengths, but this could possibly be Lt Sir James' parents and sibs?????

Happy hunting,

Hi, I don't have a Walter in my tree but I'm sure we're talking about the same family.

My great great granny was Ann Percival from North Crawley, born 1838. Her father, D'Oily an agricultural labourer and lay preacher was born in 1812. His father, James had Ringtail Farm, which I beleive is still there. James was born around 1790 just down the road in Wavendon. I think his father was William born around 1765 also in Wavendon. His father, John was born in Newport Pagnell around 1727. His father was Edward, born around 1687, also from Newport Pagnell. His father's name was Thomas but that's all I know about him. Best wishes. Katherine Morris
