INTRODUCTKWL

THE following work, for which the undersigned alone is responsible. it
having proceeded neither from the suggestion, nor under the supervision, of
any one else, is published for its merits as an attempt to show, not merely
the paternal line, but all the other forefathers of an individual. The
actual forefathers being arranged in a chart, data which have been found as
to the collateral branches of some of the families are included, with the
evidence for the direct lines, in this Introduction and the notes which follow
it, headed by the various names, and an effort has been made to give an
account, complete to date, of the Irwin and of the Ramsey family. It is
not pretended that the pedigree adds to the distinction of a man who has been
President of the United States of America. That office, to he sure, is neither
the apex of a system of caste, like a European king’s, nor the object of
eighteen centuries’ veneration, like the Pope’s, nor the control of the lives
and property of millions, like the Czar’s or the ruler of China’s; but, at
the head of such a nation as ours has become, it is one of the very greatest
positions on the earth. Its constitutional functions affect double the extent
of territory that Charlemagne ruled. Surrounding the incumbent with no
luxury, and rigidly subjecting him to law, it nevertheless resembles, with
its unpretentious title, its actual power, its operation through a Senate, its
preponderance in a hemisphere, that of the early Roman emperors, before
the abrogation of republican forms. Few contemporary lives are as much
studied as those culminating, or suggested to culminate, in the \Vhite House;
and, as the ancestry of any man is a fact, important or otherwise, in his
history, it is supposed that, while genealogists will value any work showing
how far in each line, male and female, the ancestors of a living American
can be traced, other people will be interested in such data concerning a
President. The paternal line of the one whose term ended on the 4th of
last March is unique from the standing anterior to the Revolutionary \Var,
and the service during it and since. Moreover, while it is rare, in this
young country, to find, even among the Presidents, any person all of whose
great-grandfathers were Americans, he descends from many families known
to have been here nearly two hundred years before his birth. This makes
such a work relating to Benjamin Harrison a contribution to the genealogy
of many of his fellow—citizens.

All the known ancestors who lived in America are mentioned in the
chart. An effort has been made to trace back of this country nearly every
surname thus introduced; and each has been carried as far as appeared

certain, except that the Bedell pedigree, which can be found in the Visita-
tion of Ifitntingclonshire, has not been transcribed. The ancestral lines met
with through the wives of men who never came to America, have been fol-
lowed where they seemed to lead to interesting personages; and, indeed, as
we advance into ancient times, we can be positive of the genealogy of those
only who were so conspicuous that theirs was of public notoriety. I have
succeeded in working out the ancestry, with a fair amount of evidence for
every step, further than any other American’s has been extended, as far as
1 am aware, In so doing, however, I must not be charged with furnishing
a basis for pride of birth. Nothing could be more democratic than
genealogy carried far enough to point out the descent or kinship between
the most exalted and the humblest. As the number of a man’s ancestors
back of a few centuries is enormous, having doubled with each generation,
except where, being relatives, they had lines in common, some historical
celebrities must be included. Three hundred years ago, no difference of
'aste separated the poorer gentry of England from the yeomanry and trades—
people; and five hundred years ago, the royal family intermarried with sub—
jects as frequently as with foreign potentates. So a far-off king is likely
to have descendants in all stations of life. There is nobody living except a
Bourbon known to be a legitimate descendant of any king or emperor men—
tioned in this chart through males; but through females the blood of
Clovis, of Charlemagne, and of Alfred must flow in the veins of vast
numbers of people, while even that of the Conqueror or of the early Plan-
tagenets is probably in so many that it cannot be claimed as distinguishing.
\Ve mean by legitimate descent. Starting with fifteen grandchildren of
King Edward :l., which fifteen are known to have married and left lawful
issue, and allowing to each of them two children married and having lawful
issue, and so on, assuming the number of such descendants to double in
each generation, we obtain nearly 4,000,000 in the twentieth generation
from the king. That this estimate is not too large, that, except when out
off by war, or narrowed by intermarriages, families spread more rapidly,
there is an instance in the chart. The estimate would allow for four grand—
children of President \Villiam Henry Harrison having families: there are
Six times that many.

N0 line in this work is carried through any person whose birth appears
to have been illegitimate. There is no suspicion of illegitimate birth as to
any one mentioned in the work who lived in America, or in fact who was
born since A.D. 1400. \Vhere the legitimacy depends upon the validity of
a marriage under peculiar circumstances, of which there are several cases in
the older part, I have been controlled by the acquiescence or the decision of
the contemporary ecclesiastical power, then the recognized arbiter of such
matters. Thus the marriages of King Henry II. of England with the
divorced Eleanor, and of the divorced Earl of Arundel with a daughter of

Introduction. 5

the Earl of Lancaster, and of the divorced Lord Mowbray with another
daughter of the Earl of Lancaster, have been treated as valid,- but the
parents of Louis IV., “d’Outremer,” King of France, and of Ferdinand
III., King of Castille, are not mentioned, because the marriages of the
parents were not deemed lawful. But in popular language, and a layman’s
View, the only real bastards in the chart were Hameline Plantagenet,
William the Conqueror, and Bernard, King of Italy, and possibly Charles
Martel; and perhaps also the issue of Chilperic 1., heathen King of the
Franks, and the abducted wife of a king of Thuringia, said issue being
Clovis, the first Christian King of the Franks, would be so considered.

Much of the American part of the chart will be found in either Bishop
Meade’s Old Churches, fifinisters, and Families of Virginia, which is authority
for so much family history as may be supposed to have lain within the
knowledge of his contemporaries, or Savage’s Genealogical Dictionary of
New England, Vinton’s Syninics llfcmorial, or Tuttle’s Deccndants of Wil—
liam and 1971.216me Tattle. I have derived my knowledge of the records
in Virginia other than parochial, and of the tombstone inscriptions not
taken from fllishop Meade’s work, made use of either in the chart or in the
accounts of families following this Introduction, from the publications of
the Virginia Historical Society, or articles in periodicals by, and em'respond-
ence with, Mrs. Ella Bassett \Vashington, Pres. Lyon G. Tyler, Alexander
Brown, \V. G. Stanard, It. A. Brock, and others. In that part of the chart
which consists of a table of the descendants of President \Villiam Henry
Harrison, I have made use of much data collected by Fran k \Villing Leach
for his projected work on the descendants of the Signers of the l,)eclaration
of Independence.

In the absence of a contemporaneous statement, it is hard to discover
and fix positively the parentage of a former emigrant, unless the date of
his birth can be closely approximated, and he has left some memorandum
of the parish in which he was born, and the records of that parish are
accessible. Despite the contrary notion somewhat prevalent, very few of
those who removed to Virginia, or any other part of North America,
during the colonial period, figure in the peerage books or county his-
tories of the British Isles; and the herald’s visitations which have been
published, are too far from complete, and, even with the continuations
made by the copyists, are mostly too early to be of assistance. The
notes following this Introduction will explain how the respective fami-
lies have been traced back of this country. I will here give the authori-
ties for the longest line. The Colonial grandee, born about the end of
the year 1663, who has been called “King Carter,” who named one of his
children Ludlow, was, it is agreed, the son of John Carter and Sarah
Ludlow, his wife. The tombstone over that couple and three other wives
tells us that Sa'ah’s father was “ Mr. Gabriel Ludlow.” There was a

6 Introduction.

Roger Ludlow, Deputy Governor of Massachusetts, and afterwards of Con-
necticut, and a George Ludlow, member of the Virginia Council, whose
will, styling him of York County, was probated August 1, 1656. The
celebrated Parliamentary General Ludlow speaks in his Memoirs of this
kinsman’s services to the Parliamentary side. George left most of his prop—
erty to the children of his brother Roger, and the children of his brother
Gabriel. The latter’s daughter Sarah is mentioned in the will of Gabriel’s
widow dated September 20, 1657, which appears in Brown’s Abstracts of
Somerselsliire Wills. Sarah’s brother Thomas received his uncle’s farm in
York County, Virginia, and probably brought her to America. A pedigree
of the Ludlow family has been prepared recently by Henry I—Iungerford
Ludlow-Bruges of Seend, Melksham, England, a portion being reprinted
in the A7010 England Ilislorical and Genealogical Register. It shows us
that Roger, George, and Gabriel aforesaid were first cousins of General
Ludlow’s father, and were the sons of Thomas Ludlow 0f Dinton, and
grandsons of George Ludlow of the old seat at Hill Deverill. The mar-
riage of Edith, daughter of Lord \Vindsor, to George Ludlow of Hill
Deverill is mentioned in terms of selflcmigratulation in Lord \Vindsor’s
will, dated in 1543, abstracted in Nicholas’s Teslamenta Vetusta. That
this Edith was the mother of Thomas of Dinton is proved by family deeds,
as well as by a herald’s visitation made in 1565, in the lifetime of his father.
The latter’s ancestry as far as it is set forth in the chart also appears in this
visitation. The memorandum of the wills, I have taken from the pedigree
recently prepared. The ancestry of Lord \Vindsor’s father-in~law, I have
taken mainly from Sir Alexander Croke’s Genealogical IIistory of the
Ora/cc Family, originally named Le Blount. For so much of the Spanish
pedigree as I have used, he appears to have had as authority the writings
of the celebrated statesman and author, Don Pedro Lopez de Ayala, who
was uncle of Sir \Valter Blount’s wife, and who speaks of her marriage
with “un Cavellero de Inglaterra que dijeron Mossen Gauter Blont, del
qual 0v0 fijos a Mossen Juan Blonte, un buen Cavallero, qui murio en la
cerca de Roa,” etc. The C’ronicas de la C’asa dc Viscaya in the British
Museum, Egerton MS. 897, which I have consulted independently, cor-
roborate the statement that Don Lope Diai (le Haro had as his third legiti—
mate son Don Lope Ruys, whom it calls Don Rui Lopez.

In the rest of my work, I have not merely transcribed heralds’ visita-
tions, Dugdale’s Baronage of England, Dugdale’s own Addenda thereto
(printed in C’olleclanca ’I’opograpliica ct Genealogica), or Anderson’s Royal
Genealogies. I have weighed their authority, and tried to verify any state—
ment requiring verification. As there had been for a long period prior to
the settlement of America a body of officials who had the regulation of
coats of arms, and whose business it was to know descents and relation—
ships, it perhaps would be sufficient to cite documents prepared by them;

but I have not contented myself with this. I have sought better evidence,
and have depended upon their statements only where they appear to be
founded on charters or records of the time of which they speak, or the
I knowledge which living persons had of their nearest ancestors. The earliest
of the heralds" visitations took place in the time of King Henry ‘VIII.; but
most of the genealogical notes of which I have made use were written about
the year 1600. The earliest work on the peerage which I have consulted,
although it is not the earliest extant, is Baronagium Anglize, AJ). 1587,
a manuscript in the British Museum. It is nearly contemporary with the
first Lord \Vindsor, but does not give his ancestry: it mentions his wife,
“Elizabetha soror et una heredum Edwardi Blont Dni de Montioy.”
This manuscriptiand all others in England which I have consulted, except
parish registers, but including wills and administrations, were examined
and transcribed, or abstracts of them made, by Miss Emma M. VValford,
46 Great Coram Street, \V. 0., London. Of much value, as a guide at
least, has been an elaborate tabular view of the ancestry of Lord Thomas
\Vindsor, prepared evidently soon after March 30, 1610, found in Harleian
codex 1195. It professes to give “The true and Auncyent descent of ye
right Honorable Thomas Lord \Vindsor deduced {from ye Body of Sr.
\Valter \Vindsor a Norman and ffrom ye Conquest, as it was gathered out
of ye Auncient records of that honorable tfamilye vnto this present yere,”
of which male line I have copied very little; but several maternal lines
are also given, and such of these as blend in the children of Sir Andrews,
first Lord Windsor, 1 have investigated.

The will of Sir Andrews Windsor’s grandmother, Elizabeth Andrews,
and that of her “sister,” step—sister, or sister—in—law, Alice Wyche, and that
of Thomas \Vindsor, appear in Yestamcnta Vetusm, and verify the line as
far as Mrs. Andrews, not disclosing, however, her parentage. Collins, in
his Peerage of England, which seems to be the best work on that subject,
gives her father.

Blomefield’s IIislory of Norfolk says that Augustine Stratton, Esq., and
John Stratton, citizen and mercer of London (Augustine, I suppose, being
John’s father), purchased Tye Hall in 1416, that John Stratton was lord
of Tye Hall, Lyons, and Aldenhams in Weston in the 8th year of Henry
VI., when they were settled on John and his wife Elizabeth and their heirs,
and that by said wife he had an only daughter, who married John Andrews,
Esq., of Baylham, Suffolk, to whom and Elizabeth his wife, in the 8th of
Edward IV., the manor of \Veston was transferred. Blomefield, who may
have reached the conclusion independently of the authorities which I have
consulted, expresses the opinion that Stratton’s wife Elizabeth was daughter
of Andrew or Hugh Luttrell. Various genealogical manuscripts make her
the daughter of Sir Andrew, notably the pedigree on f. 376 of No. 5521- of
the Additional M83. in the British Museum, of the date of the preparation

of which I am ignorant. To a pedigree, in the same handwriting, of the
Suliard family, Sir John Suliard, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas,
having married the other daughter of John and Elizabeth Andrews, there
has been added, in later handwriting, the latter’s descent from the Luttrells,
as follows: Elizabeth being daughter of “John Straiton of Weston in Suf—
folk” by “ Elizabeth,-dar. and heire” of “ Huge Lutterell K.” by “ Katherin,
dar. to John Beamont a. y. bary of 6.” There is thus an agreement that
Elizabeth Andrews’s mother was daughter of a Luttrell. She was, indeed,
the daughter of Sir Hugh, as the tabular view of Lord Thomas Windsor’s
ancestry declares, and H. C. Maxwell Lyte, C. 13., now Deputy Keeper of
the Public Records of England, has so stated in a pedigree of the Lut-
trell family prepared in 1882. He has communicated to me the proof
that Sir Hugh had a daughter Elizabeth, which is found in a deed of
the year 1406, preserved at Dunster Castle, settling upon her the manor
of Debenham, she marrying \Villiam Harleston. That afterwards she
married John Stratton, is stated in the inquisition in the 2lst year of
Edward 1V. upon the death of her son William Harleston, which speaks
of her as the daughter of Sir Hugh, and says that she had a daughter
Elizabeth by John Stratton, and had departed this life. The notes on the
Harleston family in additional MS. 19134 in the British Museum quote the
genealogical collections of Norris to the effect that the elder \Villiam Har—
leston died in 1419, and his wife Elizabeth, da. of , afterwards married
John Stratton of Suffolk, Esq., and was the latter’s wife in 1439. By will
dated 4 Kal. October, 1138, also quoted, Peter Maudby appointed as exec—
utors, Elizabeth, wife of John Stratton, and her son, \Villiam Harleston.
An account of Elizabeth’s father, Sir Hugh, and of her grandparents, Sir
Andrew Luttrell and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of the Earl of Devon, _
is found in Collinson’s IIislory and Antiquities of the County of Somerset;
and Blomefield’s 111'leij of Norfolk has some further information. “ Hugh
Lutterell” is named in the will of Margaret, Countess of Devon, in 1391,
as is also the testatrix’s “daughter Lutterell :” see ’l'eslamenta Velusla. The
dates relating to the Princess Elizabeth in the chart have been taken
from Green’s Lives of the Princesses of England.

The tabular view of Lord VVindsor’s ancestors shows the connection
given in the chart with the Echynghams. It is confirmed by a book on
the Echg/nghams of Echyngham by Spencer Hall. This and an article on
Echingham Church in the Sussex Archaeological Collectibns, setting forth
the monumental inscriptions and escutcheons, carry that family to Joanna,
wife of Sir \Villiam. Although I have not undertaken to trace his pro-
genitors, they had been of importance since the reign of King John.
One of them, in Edward II’s. reign, had been summoned as a baron to
Parliament. A recent predecessor of Sir \Villiam had built the church
referred to, which is still standing. So there was no such disparity between

 

Introduction. 9

the lord of that manor and a grand-daughter of the House of Arundel as
would make a matrimonial alliance between them unlikely. The state-
ment made, not in the tabular view aforesaid, but in the works above
mentioned, that Joanna was a daughter of John of Arundel, Lord Mal-
travers, is found in various genealogical manuscripts, particularly some
notes on the Family, prepared possibly near the year which is mentioned in
one of the pedigrees, viz. 1596, included in the Collections relating to
Sussex of the celebrated herald Augustus Vincent, which Collections are
new in the College of Arms, in London. Perhaps a little earlier than this,
viz., during the life apparently of a certain Edward Echingham of Bassam,
claiming descent from this family, a pedigree was prepared, which is in
Harleiau MS. 1174 in the British Museum, making the same statement.
It is perhaps the only pedigree in which the statement appears, which seems
to have been gotten up to flatter anybody; yet it seems merely to give the
known data about Edward’s family, and about the older line, and to leave
blank the connecting links. The earliest statement of this marriage of
which I have knowledge, was in the writings consulted for “Genealogia
familize de Fitzalen Comitum Arundcllzc,” on f. 11 ot' a volume of collec-
tions by the celebrated antiquary William Camden, written in his own
hand, entitled “Miscellanea ex variis scriptoribus collecta, 1573," which
is No. 229 of the Lansdowne MSS. in the British Museum. The date of
the original writings is unknown, but, if they were old in the year 1573,
they may have come from a time when accurate knowledge ot‘ Joanna’s
identity was still preserved by tradition. That John of Arundel had a
daughter Joanna appears at least by his will, dated November 26, 1379,
abstracted in Testamenla Vetusta. Nobody else could be the legatee called
“my (laughter Joan,” the surname not being given, in the will of John
of Arundel’s widow, found among the Lambeth wills. The testatrix,
originally a Maltravers, who brought that title to her said husband, calls
herself “Alianor Arundell,” although she had married, secondly, Sir Regi—
nald Cobham. This instance of the retention of former name points to
the possibility that when, in a will dated September 0, 1401, her daughter—
in-law, Agnes de Arundel, speaks of “my sister lady Brian,” Lady Brien
may have indeed been already married to Ecllyngham: for Sir \Villiam
Echyngham and a Joanna his wife had a charter in second year of Henry
IV. (between September 30, 1400, and September 30, 1401). It scarcely
was a former wife. Sir William bad a wife whose name is given as Alice
in Howard’s Jlfisccll. Genoa]. ct IIcraZdica, Vol. II., and who is said therein
to have had daughters only; and one of these daughters we find in the will
of his son Thomas Echyngham as “Domine Elizabeth Lewkenore sorori
mee,” while Thomas H00, apparently Elizabeth’s son by her former hus-
band, was made an executor. Sir William de Brien of Kemsyng married
a daughter of John of Arundel, and died without issue, and Joan the

10 Introduction.

widow had dower allotted to her December i2, in let year of Richard H.
(1397). Now, did Sir VWilliam Echyngham marry this widow? and was
she the Joanna buried with him and with her son Thomas in Echingham
church? If so, the date of her death on the monument, viz., September
1, 1404, is probably wrong, being twenty-five days before September 26
in 5th year of Henry IV., which is the date of her mother’s will leaving
her some trinkets. An error of a month was not unlikely by the time the
monument was erected, more than forty years after Joanna’s death, doubt-
less pursuant to her son’s will “corpus mcum ad sepeliend. in Cancel]. beate
hTarie Virginis de Echyngham juxta sepulturam domine Johanne matris
mee.” In those days the method of denoting the colors on coats-of-arms
by lines, dots, etc., had not been invented, or at least was not in use, and on
the aforesaid monument there is nothing to show the colors, which would have
settled the question of her identity, if the reader thinks that any remains;
but the monument, with the figures inlaid in brass, of Sir William, Joanna,
and Sir Thomas, “filius eorum,” has still decipherable an escutcheon im—
paling as her arms: quarterly, first and fourth, a lion rampant, and, second
and third, fretty of six; which were the bearings of Fitz Alan and iVIal-
travers respectively, and appear on the Garter plate of \Villiam, son of John
of Arundel, “fretty” being a fret in the description in Burke’s General
Armory. The wife’s half of the impaled shield on the monumental brass
of Sir \Villiam de Brien, former husband of Joanna Arundel, has been
described in a genealogical work as follows: quarterly, first and fourth,
gules, a lion rampant or, and, second and third, sable, fretty or, the colors
being perhaps denoted by letters. Boutelle’s erralrlry lfzisto'rical and
Popular has a drawing of the seal of Joanna’s nephew or great—nephew
John, Earl of Arundel, where the fret, composed of six pieces, covers its
quarters of the shield, and may be said to be fretty.

The lives of the Earls of Arundel, with carefully prepared tables of
the family, are given in T ierney’s History and Antiquities of the Castle and
Town of Arundel. Thomas Echyngham, son of \Villiam and Joanna, is
said, in the tabular View of Lord \Vindsor’s ancestry, to have married
Margaret, daughter of Sir Thomas Knivet, or Knyvett, and by her to have
been father of the next Thomas: but this I am unable to verify. The
volume on the Eehynghams says that he married twice, one wife being the lady
aforesaid. He certainly married Margaret, widow of Sir Thomas Marny,
who died about 1414; a lease preserved in the Public Record Office, and
appearing in the Catalogue of Ancient Deeds, printed by the Record Com—
mission, dated February 20, in the 18th year of Henry VI., from John
Marny, excepts the part of a manor assigned as dower to Margaret, wife
of Thomas de Eehyngham, Kt, late wife of Thomas, brother of said
John. This Margaret, who was evidently then in the enjoyment of the
dower estate, was probably mother of the second Thomas Echynghatn, who,

Introduction. 1 1

being over twenty years of age at his father’s death, was born in 1423
or 1424, and, doubtless, the “wife Margaret” mentioned in the first
Thomas Echyngham’s will.

That the second Thomas Echyngham married 1\Iargaret, daughter of
Reginald \Vest, Lord de la \Varr, which Margaret is said in Betham’s Jhbles
to have married Sir Thomas Erpingham, is stated in the tabular View afore—
said, and in some of the genealogies of the Echynghams before mentioned.
On this point they are better authority than concerning Joanna, because
more nearly contemporary; but the proof is also an escutcheon on the
husband’s monument. The wife of the second Thomas is represented by
quarterly, first and fourth, gules, a lion rampant between six cross crosslets
or, and, second and third, azure, three leopards’ heads jessant fleurs—de-lis or,
that being the description written in 1776. The more honorable quarters
are given to the maternal line of La \Varr, ancient rolls of arms showing
the barons of that family to have borne gules crusily and a lion rampant
argent, while the second and third quarters have the old arms of Cantelupe,
which Sir Thomas West bore about the years 1392—97. The descent of
Reginald iVest from Thomas of Brotherton, son of King Edward I., by
the (laughter of the French king, is given in Betham’s Genealogical Tables
of the Sovereigns of the ll’orlcl. Various old accounts of the Mowbrays are
silent as to the second John, Lord hfowbray, having any daughter who
married De la Warr; and I was inclined to believe the latter’s wife a
daughter of the first John, although none such appears in any of the old
accounts. De la \Varr’s daughter, who married \Vest, could have been
born, even if posthumous, no later than June, 1371, and De la \Varr’s
wife at that time could not have been eighteen years old, if she was
daughter of the second John, Lord Mowbray; for the latter’s wife was
thirteen years and perhaps a few months old in 1353. According to one
account of the family, John himself was born in 1340; so, if that is
correct, his being the father of De la \Varr’s wife is barely within the
possibilities. I had intended omitting this descent from the chart, but
have found in the Lives of the Ber/celeys, by John Smyth of Nibley,
prepared about 1630, and recently published, the mention of a manuscript
at Berkeley Castle, written in the time, Smyth says, of William, Marquess
Berkeley, who married another daughter of Reginald \Vest, Elizabeth,
sister of Margaret Echyngham, alleging that such marriage was nullifiable,
because of near relationship, inasmuch as both William and Elizabeth were
descended from the second John, Lord hTowbray, and Elizabeth Segrave,
and giving the descent of Margaret’s sister as I have given Margaret’s
in the chart. \Villiam, Marquess Berkeley, was great—grandson of the
second John, Lord Mowbray, and Elizabeth Segrave, and inherited lands
as a co-heir of the blood of Thomas of Brotherton, and was surely
informed, and could have communicated to the person from whom the

1 2 Introduction.

manuscript may have emanated, as to whether a particular person was de-
scended from his own great-aunt. \Vere it not for this manuscript, or if
it could be supposed to have been the incorrect statement of a stranger, the
descent from St. Louis of France would be stricken out, but there would
remain the possibility of De la VVarr’s wife being (laughter of the first
John, Lord Mowbray, and so descended from St. Louis’s father. \Vere the
entire descent of Margaret Echyngham who married Blount from Louis
VIII., as well through Joanna, Sir William Ecliyngham’s wife, as through
De la \Varr’s wife aforesaid, to be stricken out, there could still be traced a
legitimate descent of Edith, daughter of Lord \Vindsor, from Chilperic of
Burgundy and his son-in—law Clovis; for Raymond Bercnger, Count of
Provence, father—in-law of Henry III. of England, was also descended
from Sancho TIL, King of Navarre, called Emperor of Spain. This last
descent is omitted for want of space. Margaret Echyngham may have
been the child of an earlier wife of Lord De la \Varr than Margaret Thorley,
and so only half-sister of Elizabeth 73erkeley: but there is no evidence that
he had an earlier wife, and Dugdale’s Addenda, quoting Vincent’s Collec~
tions, make all the children to have been by Margaret, dau. of Robert
Thorley, mentioning among them Margaret, and stating her to have mar-
ried Thomas, Lord Echyngham. The son and heir was by Margaret
Thorley, notwithstanding what some works on the peerage say; for Legh, in
his Acccdcns of t-lrmoric, mentions the Lord De la \Varr of Henry VIII.’s
time as bearing the arms of Thorley. In corroboration of what has been
obtained from other sources, Hasted’s .Ifistmy (and ’l'ojmgrap/t. Survey oftlzc
County of JCcnt, says: Thomas Echyngham died without male issue, and
Margaret, his only (this is incorrect, there being two daughters) daughter,
carried the manor of Jacques Court in marriage to Sir \Villiam Blount, Kt,
eldest son of Sir \Valter Blount, Lord Mountjoy, who died before his
father, leaving one son Edward and two daughters, and Edward, after
succeeding to the estate, died without issue, and on a partition one of the
sisters, Elizabeth, tarried it to her husband Sir Andrew (sic) \Viudsor,
whose son \Villiam sold it.

When we treat of the Plantagenets and their connections, it is hardly
necessary to specify the standard authorities which have been followed,
much less to go over the work of writers who have gathered full informa-
tion from public archives and contemporary histories. \Vhere the lines in
this chart have been carried past England into Continental Europe, I have
decided every step by the great authority of L’Art dc Verifier [cs Dates;
and that part. of this work, except the Byzantine genealogy derived from
Du Cange, is wholly extracted from the same.

THE ARMISTEAD FAMILY.

THERE is a tradition that the Armisteads derive their name and origin
from Darmstadt; and the seat of the elder line in Virginia was called
“ Hesse.” XVithout deciding when or whether in modern times they crossed
the German Ocean, it is sufficient to say that they were Englishmen for
several generations before William Armistead came to Americz , the name,
with varied spelling, frequently appearing in Yorkshire records of the time
'of Queen Elizabeth. The emigrant to America seems, from the names of
his children, Anthony and Frances, to have been the son of Anthony
“Armitstead” of Kirk Deighton, Yorkshire, and Frances 'J‘hompson of
the same place, who obtained a marriage license in the year 11508. On
August 3, 1610, “ \Villiam ye son of Anthony Armstced of Kirk Deigh-
ton” was baptized in All Saints’ Church, the only church in the parish.
Search for a few years later discloses the fact that this child, whom 1 sup—
pose the emigrant, passed safely through the period of tender infancy; at
least no burial can be found. His father continued to reside there, having
other children, and a contemporary named Thomas Armsteed, who also had
a family. The emigrant’s marriage did not take place there, if, as I assume,
it was later than 1627, and prior to 1634. \Villiam “ A rmestead” received
a patent in 1636 from Captain John \Vest, Governor of Virginia, for 450
acres in Vlfilizabeth City County, lying southeast upon the land of Mr.
Southcll, northeast upon the land of John ,l3rancz (Branch 2’), easterly upon
the creek, westerly into the woods; among the persons he had transportml
to the colony being his wife Anne. The name is spelt “AI-instead” in
a patent of 1651. As far as I can learn, he had the following issue, prob-
ably by the same wife, and probably born in America:

WILLIAM ARMISTEAD, his lieir—at—law, who patented land, and d. s.
p., his brother John being his heir,

JOHN ARMISTEAD, the Councillor, and ancestor of both Presidents
Harrison, see next page,

ANTHONY Armrsrrm), see p. 18,

FRANCES ARMrs'rEAn, d. 1686, 111., 1st, Rev. Justinian Aylmer,
and, 2nd, Anthony Elliott, Lieut. Col., who (.1. about Jany.,
1665—6, and, 3d, Christopher VVormeley, Colonel, step-son of
Governor Sir Henry Chicheley.

It is difficult to give a complete account of the earlier generations of a
Virginia family, owing to the transmission of real estate by the law of
primogeniture, and the destruction or inaccessibility of records. For what

follows, there is evidence derived from the best genealogical sources at my
command.

JOHN ARMISTEAD, the Councillor, son of the emigrant, is called brother
by Robert Beverley, but it is impossible to say whether one married the
othcr’s sister or the sister of the other’s wife. Beverley was married twice.
It is uncertain whether Armistead had any other wife than Judith, said to
have been a Bowles in an article in The Standard, published in Richmond;
but, this being probably a distortion by tradition of the marriage of his
grandson into that family, her parentage is unknown.

BACON.

WHEN, in 1676, Nathaniel Bacon raised the revolt against the Governor
of Virginia, and made himself memorable in the name “ lacon’s Rebellion,”
by which the revolt has been known, an older Nathaniel Bacon, a near
relative, was a member of the Governor’s Council. The “ rebel” was ex—
pected to be the heir of this childless namesake, but died before him; and
the namesake in 1688 became President of the Council, and, as such, the
chief magistrate of the colony. Dying on March 115, 1691—2, he left the
bulk of his property to the Burwells. I do not know what proof there is
that his wife was a Kingsmill, as Bishop Meade says. That name may
have been given to the Burwell seat for a different reason. The Burwells
of “Kingsmill” were not descended from Bacon’s niece. \Villiam Bassett
(see notes on that family) called Nathaniel Bacon “ brother.” Bassett was
not a step-brother, and did not marry a Bacon, but a (,‘ary (see Bassett
and Cary notes) ; so I conclude that Bacon married a Bassett, probably dead
before August 28, 167], when Bassett made his will. Bacon’s wife
whose death occurred November 2, 1691, in her 67th year, Elizabeth, was
the widow of Colonel \Villiam Tayloe of King’s Creek, York County, as
is recited in a deed from the latter’s heir~at-1aw to Lewis Burwell, who at
her death procured a warrant of escheat for land devised to her by said
husband (communicated to me by \Vilson Miles Cary, Esq, of Baltimore).

The arms on the tomb of Nathaniel Bacon are those borne by some of
his forefathers, viz. : quarterly, Bacon and Quaplad.

The tombstone of Lewis Burwell the seCond of that name in Virginia,
calls his first wife “Abigail Smith of the family of the Bacons ;” and her
tombstone, which does not give her own name of Smith, says, “who was
descended of the illustrious family of the Bacons, and heiress of the Hon.
Nathaniel Bacon, Esq., President of Virginia.” Nathaniel’s tomb says
that his “ descent was from the Ancient House of ye Baeons (one of whom
was Chancellor Bacon and Lord Verulam).” According to the rest of the
inscription, he had been in Virginia over forty years; so that he could not
have arrived later than 1651. The will of Rev. James Bacon, Rector of
Burgate, Suffolk, England, is among the Bury Wills and Invei‘ttories pub—
lished by the Camden Society, and when compared with the will of this
Nathaniel Bacon, identifies him with the clergyman’s son of that name;
and the inscription on the tombstone of Rev. James Bacon tells us that
the latter was son of Sir James Bacon, Kt, prior to whom we can get
information as to the genealogy from Kimber and Johnson’s Baronetage of

22

Brtcon. 23

England, supported by the Visitation of London, Stow’s Survey of London,
etc. The ancestry has been carried much further than will be found in the
Chart, but- prior to John, the father of Robert, there is a contradiction
between the different accounts as to Christian name. As far as the Chart
gives it, the relationship of the Bacons prior to Sir James appears in wills of
which I have obtained abstracts. As to the father-in—law of Sir James, i. 6.,
Francis Bacon, and flf‘rancis Bacon’s parentage, wife, and only daughter, we
are informed by a brass effigy of him in Pettistree Church. The wills of
Francis’s father and grandfather have been examined, and make that part of
the Chart certain.

The records of 'li‘riston Church give the baptism of “Nathaniel Bacon,
eldest son of Sir James Bacon, Knight,” and his birth, May 15, 1593, and
his burial, August 7, 1614. The baptism of Nathaniel’s daughter Elizabeth,
October 9, 1628, is mentioned, but not that of his son Thomas, who was
father of the “rebel.” The “ rebel,” being great-nephew of Rev. James,
was first cousin once removed of Nathaniel Bacon, President of the Virginia
Council, and second cousin of Abigail Smith, who married Lewis Burwell.

The statement in the A7020 Ear/[and .llz'st. and Gene/Ll. Register, Vol.
XXXVII., that Rev. James Bacon’s daughter hIartha, who was unmarried
on September 24, 1647, the date of her father’s will, married a Mr. Smith
of Colehester, led to finding in the register of St. James’s Church, Col-
ehester, the entry of Abigail Smith’s baptism, with date of birth, calling
her the daughter of Anthony Smith and, Martha, his wife. The will of
the father confirms the identification. Anthony Smyth of Colehester, tanner,
speaks of his two oldest daughters, Anna and Martha, and makes the
eldest, Anna, evidently by a former wife, executrix, with the care of the
three youngest children, Elizabeth, Abigail, and George; and speaks of the
lands which were to be divided between Mrs. Burroughs, Mrs. \Vilkinson,
and said George after “ Mrs. Peekes her death my Mother in Lawe;” and
appoints Mr. Thomas 3urroughs of Bury St. Edmunds, as one of the
supervisors. The latter was the son-in—law named in Rev. James Bacon’s
will, Mrs. Burroughs and Mrs. W'ilkinson were two of Rev. James laeon’s
daughters, and the son George was the heir of the third daughter, then
deceased, while the widow of ltev. James Bacon had become Mrs. Peck.
Mr. Henry F. Bacon of Aldershot, England, sends me a copy of a mem—
orandum to the effect that .ltev. James Bacon by his wife “ Martha Honey-
wood,” had a daughter Martha, who married —— Smith of Colehester,
and by him had a son and heir, George Smith, aged 14 in 1666. It will be
seen further on that Honeywood 0r Honywood was not the maiden name
of Mrs. Bacon. Anthony Smyth (or Smith)’s daughter, aller “Elizabeth
Sherry sister of aforesaid Abigail” in Nathaniel Bacon’s will, doubtless
married her cousin, son of the man whom Smith calls “my brother, Mr.
Thomas Sheriff of Diss in Norfolk,” who, Blomefield tells us, was greatly
respected and beloved, a Justice of the Peace in the days of the Common-

24 Bacon.

wealth, who had saved many Royalists from ruin. The following inscrip—
tion, recorded by Blomefield, may be that of Mrs. Burwell’s sister: “M. S.
Elizabethae Johaunis Sheriffs, hujus Oppidi dudum Incolze uec non Medici
inclyti Viduze pientissimze, Quorum Sobolis Pietas l’arentum Moribus
imbutze hoe Monumentum poni voluit. Illa autcm, pacifica spe Beatze
Resurrectionis ad Vitam sempiternam, Natures Debitum solvit Anno Aetatis
46, Nov. V, 1702.” The arms impaled on the tomb with those of Sheriff
are described as a chevron between three rouudels, and Burke’s General
Armory gives many instances of Smiths bearing a chevron between three
roundels (bezauts or plates), with crosses pattée fitchée on either chevron or
roundcl, or some such variation. It is to be regretted that we can not posi-
tively say which wife of Rev. James Bacon was Mrs. Smith’s mother,
although the mention of Martha after Elizabeth in his will makes it probable
that Martha was younger than Elizabeth, and we know that the latter was a
child of the wife who survived him. That wife, moreover, was, like Mrs.
Smith, named Martha. She was not a Honywood, but a daughter of George
\Voodward of Buckinghamshire, by his second wife, Elizabeth Honywood.
Both the \‘voodwards and Honywoods were well known families. The
mother of George was a Boulstrode, and the mother of Elizabeth was the
celebrated Mrs. Honywood, whose maiden name was Atwater or 'Waters.
Stories are told of the latter’s religious melancholy, and she was memorable
for the great number of her progeny, having 16 children, 114 grand-
children, and 228 great—grandchildren up to her death in her 93d year, May
16, 1620, her only husband, Robert Houywood, having died April 22,
1576. One of her grandsons was Sir Robert Honywood of Cromwell’s
Council of State, and another was Sir Thomas Honywood of Cromwell’s
Other House, which took the place of a House of Lords, while a son of
Sir Robert was Sir Philip Honywood, a Royalist, who came to Virginia in
1649, but afterwards returned to England, selling his land in Virginia to
William Bassett, who called Nathaniel Bacon his “brother,” and made him
an executor of his will. In Ear]. MS. 1533, f. .1, is a pedigree of the
Woodwards, originally prepared in the latter part of the XVIth Century,
but continued in a later handwriting about 1637. It traces the family to
John \Voodward, whose son George was clerk of the castle of \Vindsor.
George’s son John had by his wife Margaret, daughter of George Boulstrode
“of higher Bowlstrod in Com. Buck,” a son, George \Voodward, who 11].,
1st, “Kath: daur. of The. \Vodford of Brightwell,” and, 2nd, “Elizab:
da. of Honewod of Marks Hall in Essex.” The pedigree gives the follow-

ing issue of George \Voodward by the first of these wives:
“Edward \Vodward of Upton now Liveing, 16534” : “Elizab:
sister of Sr. Robt. Oxcnbridg of Husborne in Hampshire ob.

20 March, 1637,”
Issue:

“ Thomas \Vodward of Lincolns Inne dyed sans issue
“John ma: ye da: of Manfield,”

\Vhich John was living at the date of his stepmother’s will, and his
wife’s name was Bridgett.

The marriage license of George \Voodward, “gent,” and Elizabeth
Honywood, “spinster, of the City of London,” was granted December 9,
1579. The pedigree aforesaid gives them the following issue:

“ Margaret mar. to Sr. Jon. Ashburnham srvant to ye Q. of Bohemia
Bridgett mar. to Sr Tho Lydall & after to Tho: Heneage
Sara mar. to Agar of Staffordshire
Henry dyed young
Robert dyed young
Isaack dyed young

Anne Ma: to Doctor Shefi" Prebend of \Vindsor
Rebecka Mar. to \Veston
Rachell Mar. to Giles Poulton of Lond. Mrehant
Martha Mar. to Mr. Bacon of ~——."

The will of Elizabeth ‘Voodward, mother of the above named, is dated
August 3, 1631, and mentions her daughters St. Nicholas, Lydall, Poulton,
Ashburnham, Sheaffe, Bacon, and Agard, her son-in-law Sir John Ash—
burnham, her “son” Dr. Sheaffe, and her “son Poulton ;” and leaves to a
number of persons, among them her grandsons, Thomas Lidall and Edward
Sheaffe, and two god—daughters, “Elizabeth, (laughter of my said daughter
Rachel Poulton,” and “Elizabeth, daughter of my said daughter Martha
Bacon.” This last beduest shows us that Elizabeth, first named among
Rev. James Bacon’s daughters in his will before mentioned, was the child
of the wife who survived him, who is called in some church notes, pre-
pared about 1655—1665, in the British Museum, “dau. of Honeywood
Esq. She was grandchild of that famous Mrs. Honeywood so often made
mention by devises (sic) in regard to her long distress of conscience and
brought up by her. The husband of Mrs. Honeywood was a man of
£3000 per annum in those times. She was, after the death of Mr. Bacon,
married to Mr. Robert Pecke, Rector of Hingham in Norff, a woman of
singular parts.” So we have the marriage of Rev. James Bacon and
Martha \Voodward at least as early as 1629; for not only was Elizabeth

26 Bacon.

born, but the records of Burgate show the baptism on November 18, 1631,
of “Anna, filia Jacobi et Marthze Bacon.” This Anne was the last named
daughter in her father’s will. The Honywood MSS., published in the
Topographer and Genealogist, make it clear that Martha Wood ward, whose
marriage is not mentioned by the original compiler, had no children at the
death of her grandmother Honywood, and, as there are entries therein of
the year 1622, unlikely that Martha was married before 1623; so Nathaniel
Bacon, President of the Council of Virginia, was not her son, for he was
born about 1619. If the Rev. James was intended by Lady Anne Drury,
when, in her will dated June 1, 1621, published among the Bury Wills
and Inventories, .she left 20/. to “ my eosen James Bacon and his wyfe
to bestowe in some plate to remember me,”~«Lady Anne Drury and
Rev. James being children of first cousins,——-it can be supposed that the
latte-r’s first wife was still living. ()ne of the witnesses to the will was
“ Martha Bacon :” the first wife may have had the same Christian name as
the one who survived him. I do not know the date of birth of Mrs.
Smith; her baptism does not appear in the register of Burgate or of the
other parishes where it seemed likely to have taken place. \Vhile the
probability is that she was daughter of Martha Woodward, it is not proved
by Anthony Smyth’s use of the term “mother—in-law,” which could have
meant stepmother-in-law.

Sir Thomas Lyddal, Knt., called “Sr Tho Lydall” above, name now
Liddell, was the eldest son of Thomas, and is said in Collins’s Peerage of Eng-
land to have died in 1627, “in his father’s lifetime, leaving issue by Bridget
(who was maid of honour to the Queen of Bohemia), daughter of Edward
(sic) \Voodward of Lee, near Windsor, Esq., one son Sir Thomas.” Col—
lins adds, “(She was secondly married to Thomas Heneage of Battersea in
Surry, Esq., nephew of Sir Thomas Heneage, Kilt)” Thomas Lyddal, the
father of Bridget’s first husband, had a fifth son, George: was not this
the resident of York County, Virginia, who was eo—executor of Bassett’s
will with Nathaniel Bacon, Esq.‘? Sir Robert Peake, Kt, citizen and
goldsmith of London, in his will dated May 15, 1666, abstracted in New
England J-Iist. and Geneal. Register, Vol. XXXVII., leaves 300l. to “my
cousin and sometime servant George Lyddall, in Virginia, gentleman.”
Another Bacon family or branch of this Bacon family came to Virginia;
and Lyddall appears among the Christian names subsequently borne by
them.

BASSETT.

MRS. LEWIS \VASIIINGTON (Ella Bassett) has kindly given me the
benefit of certain family papers in her possession, including a copy of the
will of the second \Villiam Bassett in the Chart, the first of the family who
came to Virginia. Styling himself “of the Parish of Blissland, County
New Kent, gentleman,” he desires to he buried in the upper church of that
parish “by my dear wife and boy,” by which, I am confident, he meant wife
and son then living. The rest of the will is to the following effect: “my
nephew Joseph Foster” land purchased of John Pouncey, being a neck
between Diaseon and Mr. Richmond ilJerrill’s, New Kent, “ a Virginia forty
foot house” to be built for him upon this, and “ the middle silver tankard”
and a couple of silver Spoons; “unto his two sisters Anne and Mary
Foster” 6000 lbs. each of tobacco when of age or married ; “to my mother
Mrs. Anne Dickeson ;” “to my sister Mary Scott . . . all my interest in a
house in New [rest of word does not appear] in the Isle of “right in
which my mother now lives near the town gate,” “ wife Bridgett Bassett,
the house and land I now live on formerly bought of Charles Edmonds”
for her life, and “the housing due to me as intermarrying with her or by

 

me purchased of Emanuel Wills who married her sister Elizabeth,” or if
said house should be sold by an order formerly given to Mr. Simon Hurle,
the proceeds to be paid to said Bridget; to only son \Villiam Bassett, tract
bought of Col. Robert Abrahall and John Brock, being 1800 a., and 1200
a. adjoining taken up by testator; and, if son die, to nephew Joseph Foster,
residuary estate to son, and, if he die under eighteen, two—thirds to wife,
and one—third to Joseph Foster, and, if he die under age without issue, to
his said sisters or the survivor. The executors were “my deare Brother
Nathaniel Bacon, Esqr.” and George Lyddall. The will was dated Aug.
28, 1671, witnessed by said Abrahall and Brook, and proved by their oath
on Jany. 4, 1671—2. A very great amount of time and trouble. has been
expended by me in endeavoring to ascertain the testator’s ancestry. The
name of his descendants’ seat, “Eltham,” suggested that he sprang from
James Basset, gentleman of the Royal Chamber, who died in 1558, and
his scholarly wife Mary, daughter of \Villiam Roper of Eltham, in Kent,
England. Mary’s mother was a daughter of Sir Thomas More, Lord
Chancellor of England, who, moreover, had descendants in Virginia, spell-
ing their name Moore, and calling their seat “ Chelsea,” after the suburb of
London, which was his residence. Strange to say, the will of \Villiam
Roper mentions no Bassets; and any will of James Basset’s widow, I have
27

28 Bassett.

been unable to find. James Basset’s will mentions a son Philip, and pro-
vides for an expected child. An unsigned pedigree appearing in the Supple-
ment to the Visitation of Devon, 16:90, published by the I-Iarleian Society,
says that James had a son Philip, who had daughters, leaving us to infer
that the name in that branch became extinct: but this is not conclusive;
nevertheless, I can not find the grandchildren of James. Burke’s Landed
Gentry says that James had two sons, Philip and Charles, and, as the former
was a “Popish recusant,” I am inclined to think that Charles was the Dr.
Carolus Bassettus, or Bassett (the genitive case is given), whose two servants
were among the Englishmen in Rome in 1582, as appears in a list published
in C'ollectcmea, Ilbpographica et Genealogica. The pedigree aforesaid omits
the four younger sons of Sir Arthur Basset of Umberley by his wife
Elinor Chichester. Of these four sons, Arthur was knighted in Ireland
by his uncle, the first Lord Chichester, when Lord Deputy, and d.s. p.
1640, I having a copy of his will; another, Francis, obtained in 1624 by
the influenee of his uncle, the second Lord Chichester, a captaincy under
Count Mansfeldt; another, \Villiam, was matriculated at Oxford in 1603,
aged twenty, but did not take his degree; and John, the youngest, born in
1585, survived Arthur, and was zulministrator (1.1). n. of the latter, being
probably also a resident of Ireland, but I can not trace him further. John,
it would seem, married; for his uncle, the first Lord Chichester, in his
will dated Mob. 8, 1624, leaves to not only Sir Arthur Bassett and
Francis Bassett, but also “the little wenche Peggye Basset.”

It is rather odd that the names Abrahall and Foster, which occur in the
emigrant Bassett’s will, appear with Bassett of Beaupre and Basset of
Ewley, among the persons marrying into the Denis family, flourishing
about this period, descended from the Berkeley's, in Smyth’s Lives of the
Berkeleys ; and that Col. Henry Norwood, hereafter mentioned as a friend
of the emigrant, belonged through a female line to the Denises. Basset of
Ewley, I have traced down, and perhaps as to Bassett of Beaupre, whose
name is spelt with two t’s, like the emigrant’s, there is only a coincidence.
The arms on the tomb of the emigrant’s son and on silver of the family,
are barry wavy, or three bars wavy, and a chief: three bars wavy being
the arms given in the Supplement to the Visitation aforesaid for the Bassets
of Umberley, and barry wavy being new borne by their representative.
The inscription on the aforesaid tomb calls the emigrant “ William Bassett
Esqr. of ye County of Southampton in ye Kingdom of England,” perhaps
to distinguish him from another \Villiam Bassett in Virginia, step-son 0f
\Villiam Felgate. Newport being the chief town of the Isle of Wight,
and the emigrant’s mother, Anne Dickeson, being at the date of the emi~
grant’s will a resident of a town there of which the first part of the name
was New, there is no doubt that the emigrant was son of \Villiam Bassett
“of Newport, yeoman,” on whose estate letters of administration were
granted Feb. 28, 1647, to Anne the widow, as appears at \Vinchester,

Bassett. 29

England. From the silence of the parish register at Newport, which has
no entry of the family prior to the baptism of Richard, son of \Villiam,
Aug. 15, 1642, I suppose that \Villiam and Anne removed thither from
some other part of the shire, a number of Bassetts appearing in the records
of \Vinchester. Neither will nor any administration on the estate of Mrs.
Dickeson has been found. As the emigrant married a Cary, which is
proved by the wife of \Vills being her sister (see notes on the Cary family),
it is evident that besides Mary Scott and the mother of the Fosters, prob—
ably distinct from Mary Scott, there was a sister of the emigrant who had
marrie( “ Brother Nathaniel Bacon,” and in addition to these there was an
“Anne Dafter of \Vill Bassate” baptized at Newport, May 27, 1646, and
buried in 1648, in the entry of which burial the father’s name is correctly
spelt. The father’s burial appears on Dec. 1, 1616.

James \Vaylen’s recent work The Ubusc of Cromwell and the Story of
Dunkirk has some amusing instances how, after the Restoration, participants
in the previous struggle on the Republican side were credited by family
tradition with more fashionable principles, and transmitted to remoter pos-
terity as Royalists. It might have instanced Sir Bryce Cochran, who is
said in Douglas’s standard Peerage of Scotland to have been killed in the
king’s cause in 1650, but who appears in \Vaylen’s work as an officer in
1658 in the very successful expedition sent by Cromwell against Dunkirk.
In the list, Aug. 17, 1659, of captains to be commissioned in Sir Bryce’s
regiment, called Sir Brian’s, published among the State Papers, appears
William Bassett. There was also a lieutenant named \Villiam Bassett, but
the emigrant is frequently spoken of as Captain in the Virginia records.
Col. Henry Norwood and Sir Philip Honywood (as to which latter, see
notes on the Bacons) had been among the Royalists who came to Virginia
in 164.9. Both returned to the Old World. Norwood was made Deputy—
Governor of Dunkirk in March, 1661—2, and saw Bassett there. The place
was, by treaty between Charles 11. and Louis XIV” delivered to France;
and was evacuated Nov. 18, 1662. Norwood was afterwards at Tangiers.
In a letter, \Villiam Bassett, the emigrant, thanks Norwood for advice to
him on leaving Dunkirk. Bassett saw Sir Philip Honywood at White
Hall, and there agreed with him, or reached a final agreement, to purchase
land belonging to Honywood in ’Virginia, as appears by papers in possession
of Mrs. Washington.

BEDE LL AND BURWE LL.

BY a deed dated July 28, 1648, found by W. G. Stanard among the
records of York County, Va, Dorothy \Vingate, relict. of Roger \Vingate,
Treasurer of Virginia, conveyed to “her well-beloved son Lewis Burwell”
all rents due at said Roger’s decease, and confirmed to her by the King.
The Visitation of Bedjords/Lirc with Additional Pedigrees- (the latter pre—
pared in 1637), published by the Harlcian Society, tells us that Roger Win-
gate, living in London in January, 1637, married Dorathey, dau. of \Villiam
Bedell of Catworth, County Huntingdon, widow of Edward Burwell of
Harlington, County Bcdford. The records of Great Catworth covering a
long period were examined for me by the Rector; and, while the marriage
of \Villiam Bedell was not found, having probably occurred in Northamp-
tonshire, the baptism of his daughter Dorothy was. Some entries of the
surname in the records aforesaid are followed by the word “generosus,”
indicating the rank of the family; and the inquisition upon the death of
the \Villiam Bedell who is called “of Moldesworth” in Camden’s Visitation
of Ifuntingdonsh’ire, printed by the Camden Society, identities him as at one
time styled “of Catworth Magna.” So the paternal line of Dorothy, the
mother of the first Lewis Burwell, can be traced to a John Bedell of
\Vollaston, Northamptonshire, who died in 1485, with whom the pedigree
in Camden’s Visitation starts. The inquisition mentions several sons of
\Villiam Bedell, besides Silvester, his heir, who alone is mentioned in the
Visitation, and, among them, Henry Bedell, who is called “brother" in
Edward Burwell’s will; and the name of the last wife of William was
Elizabeth, the Visitation calling his wife Bridget Power of Northampton-
shire.

Blaydes’s G’encalogia Bedfordicnsis has extracts from parish records re—
lating to the Burwells, from which we find that Edward had the following
children, the word “gent.” appearing in each entry after the father’s name:

EDWARD, bapt. at Honghton Conquest, Apr. 14, 1616, bu. at
Ampthill, Mch. 4, 1620,

DOROTHY, bapt. Ampthill, June 24, 1618, perhaps m. \Vood-
ington, as Elizabeth Vaulx conveyed land to her “ kinsmen” John
and Charles \Voodington about 1657,

ELIZABETH, bapt. Ampthill, February 25, 1620, probably m.
Robert Vanlx or Yause, of London and some time of Virginia,
merchant, who made a power of attorney to his “ brother” Lewis
Burwell, and whose wife about 1656 is called Elizabeth,

Virginia,

GEORGE, bapt. at Ampthill, May 17, 1624,

EDWARD, bapt. at Ampthill, Feb. 19, 1625.

The will of Edward Burwell was nuncupative, as follows:

“Oct. 18, 1626, Directions taken from my brother Burwell being upon
his sick bed,” desired that his children be brought up in the fear of God,
left his whole estate to his wife Dorothy, desired his sister Sheafe to take his
eldest daughter, and keep her as servant, and his sister \Vingate to take
his daughter Elizabeth, cntreats Lord Bruce to consider his faithful service
to him, his brother \Vingate to be overseer, and with him his brother Henry
Beadles (sic)and Mr. Edward Blofield : \Vitnesses, John Orpin Clerke(clerk ?)
and Edward \Vingate. Letters of administration were issued to Dorothy,
the widow, on Nov. 9, 1626. Probably this Edward illurwell was the one
baptized at Toddington, Aug. 24, 1579, described as son of Edward; and,
while possibly the son of another wife, was no doubt the son of the Edward
Burwell, called “Edmunc ” in one copy, who is mentioned in the Visitation of
Bedfordshire aforesaid as having married Jane, daughter of Edmond \Vin—
gate of Sharpenhoc, by his wife Mary, dau. of \Vm. llelfield (Qa. the same
name as “Blofield” in the will?). The “sister VVingate” in the will was
Jane Burwell, married at Maulden, Aug. 25, 1619, to Edward \Vingate;
she is called in the Visitation the daughter of Ed w’d Burwell of Harling—
ton, County Bedford, and that her mother was a \Vingate appears from
George Button’s will, dated Dec. 4, 1618, before Jane’s marriage, mention-
ing his .“ brother Wingate’s niece Jane Burwell,” “Edward Burwell,
gent,” apparently this Jane’s father, and Lewis’s grandfather, was buried
at Amptbill, Nov. 19, 1620. Can we doubt that he was the one who is
named in the Charter dated May 30, 1609, commonly called “ the Second
Charter,” to the Virginia Company?

The tombstone over the first Lewis Burwell says “descended from the
ancient family of the Burwells of the counties of Bedford and North-
ampton in England, who nothing more worthy in his birth 'than Virtuous
in his life,” etc. The family of his father-in—law, l’ligginson, I have not
succeeded in tracing, although it is described as “ancient.” Burwell’s
widow Lucy, by her third husband, Philip Lud well, who had been Governor
of Carolina, had (see New England I'Iist. and (Jamal. Register, Vol.
XXXHI.) a daughter, who m. Daniel Parke of Virginia, killed while
Governor of the Leeward Islands, and a son Philip, of the Virginia
Council, who m. Hannah Harrison. Allowing for step-relations helps us
to explain Governor Spotswood’s complaint that the Council embraced too
many of one family. He says in one of his published Letters that six out
of the ten members were related to Ludwcll, who, as has been shown above,
was step—uncle of the Burwells; and, on Mch. 9, 1713, probably having
in mind some persons like Nathaniel Harrison, whose brother had married

36 Bedcll and Burwcll.

a Burwell, declares: “The greater part of the present Council are related
to the Family of the But-wells. . . . If Mr. Bassett and Mr. Berkeley
should take their places, there will be no less than seven so near related
that they will go off the Bench whenever a Cause of the Burwells come to
be tryed.”

The second Lewis Burwcll by Abigail Smith (see notes on the Bacon
family), his first wife, had according to her tombstone four sons and .six
daughters. They were probably as follows, the parents’ marriage not
likely to have taken place before 1671, Nathaniel Bacon, in his will dated
Mch. 15, 1691—2, naming those then living:

THE inscription on the tombstone of Col. Miles Cary, the first of the
name in Virginia, gives the name of his father, mother, and maternal
grandfather. It calls him the “only son,” which, I think, is incorrect,
even if meaning the only son who attained full age. The ancestry of
John Cary has been derived from a pedigree registered in 1699 in the
Heralds’ College, London, by John Cary of Bristol, England, gentleman,
and his brother Richard Cary, Alderman of London, grandsons of an
elder brother of said John. With the pedigree are filed copies of wills,
etc., proving it. A confirmation of arms was duly granted in 1699, setting
forth that the branch of the family seated at Bristol had “time out of
min(” borne the arms of the family of Cary of Devonshire, viz.: argeut,
on a bend sable, three roses argent, with a silver swan for their crest (which
arms are on the tombstone of Col. Miles Cary, the emigrant), and also
that Robert Cary, Lord Hunsdon, had personally acknowledged them as
kinsmen, and Edward Cary of illorre Abbey, Esquire, heir male and
principal representative of the .llevonshire family, had declared that he
had heard that the Bristol Carys had sprung from a younger branch of
the same.

Henry Hobson was buried in the Church of All Saints, Bristol, on
March 29, 1637), and a funeral certificate was duly filed in the College of
Arms. His coat-of~arms was: urgent, on a chevron azure between three
pellets as many ciuque—foils argent, with a chief chequy or and azure. His
will mentions Henry, Matthew, ,tichard, Miles, Alice, Mary, and Honor
Cary, as children of John Cary of Bristol, draper, by the testator’s
daughter Alice.

“,lf‘ather—iu-law Thomas Taylor dcceaseU’ is mentioned in the will of
the emigrant Cary, dated June 9, 1667, probated June 21, as well as “ my
loving wife,” whose Christian name is not given. From deeds and patents,
Wilson Miles Cary, leq., of Baltimore, who has furnished me with nearly
all the information I possess as to the family, finds that her name was
Anne. The will directs two houses in Baldwin and St. Nicholas Streets
in Bristol to be sold for the benefit of three daughters, Anne, Bridgett,
and Elizabeth, when married. This property is doubtless “the housing”
to which William Bassett (see notes on Bassett) in his will refers as having
been acquired by marriage and purchase from Emanuel \Vills; while Mr.
Simon Hurle, mentioned by Bassett as having an order to sell the same,
was doubtless the “Mr. llurle” under whose guardianship Cary’s son

4O Cary.

Miles was at school in England, according to Cary’s will. The son Wil-
liam was left to the care of Mr. William Beaty to be educated and brought
up in Virginia. The overseers were “ friends Mr. Thomas Ludwcll, Coll.
Nathaniel Bacon, Major Edward Griffith and Mr. \Vm. Beaty.” The
emigrant died June 10, 1667, of wounds received in the attack by the
Dutch fleet upon Old Point Comfort, where he had been ordered to build
a fort in 1665. His tombstone at “Cary’s Quarter,” at the intersection
of the James and the \Varwick Rivers, enumerates his children: Thomas,
Anne, Henry, Bridgett, Elizabeth, Miles, and William. Henry was
ancestor of the Carys of' “Ampthill,” and Henry’s great-granddaughter
Anne 1n. Thomas Mann Randolph of “Tuckahoe” (see p. 15); Bridgett,
(laughter of the emigrant, m. about 1670 William Bassett; Elizabeth, her
sister,’ m. Emanuel \Vills; and Miles was Burgess, Colonel, Surveyor-
General, and Rector of the College of William and Mary, and was ancestor
in the male line of \Vilson Miles Cary, Esq.

HARRISON.

A TRADITION, mentioned by President \Villiam Henry Harrison, made
him a descendant of the regicide General Thomas Harrison. It has not
been generally accepted throughout the family, and is certainly untrue as
fa' as it involves direct descent,- for the regieide was a contemporary of
the Harrison who emigrated to this country, and was probably a few years
younger. If the tradition may be construed to mean that both were of
the same family, we cannot at once reject it, finding it extant among the
children of persons born within seventy years of the regicide’s execution.
That took place in October, 1660: Benjamin Harrison the Signer was
born about 1726, and his brother Carter Henry Harrison a few years later;
to one of the Signer’s children the tradition has been traced as aforesaid,
while Rev. Joseph Cabell Harrison, a descendant of Carter H., communicated
the same to my correspondent, James Findlay Harrison of Kansas. Like
other names ending in “son,” which is supposed to indicate Danish origin,
the name Harrison is very common in England : it was such as would be
adopted by or applied to the children of numerous Harrys or Henrys not
known to be related to each other. Until the present century, the rcgicide
was the most celebrated person who bore it. Sprung from the yeomanry,
he rose by his bravery and religious zeal. until he held at one time, during
Cromwell’s absence, the command of the military forces in England.
Best remembered as having the custody of the doomed King, but more
important in the later days of the Commonwealth as the head or the hope
of the “ Fifth 1\10narchy” men, he met his own (loath with the fortitude
and confidence of a martyr. After the Restoration, there would have been
shame to acknowledge a relationship to him: after our Revolutionary
\Var, there was temptation to imagine it. 1: have been unable to prove
any between him and the Presidents’ ancestor who came to Virginia; but
I do not know the parentage of either. Although the historian Clarendon
says that the regicide was born at Nantwich, Cheshire, which is about
fifteen miles from Newcastle—under—Lyme, the latter, in Staffordshire, is
generally supposed his birthplace. His father and himself certainly resided
in Staffordsl'lire. On April 11, 1618, he petitioned for the release of John
Lawton of Lawton, Cheshire, which is nearer to Newcastle aforesaid than
to Nantwich, speaking of him as his “loving neighbour.” On Feb. 3,
1654, Harrison was ordered to retire to his father’s house in Statibrdshirc,
and Roger \Villiams, the founder of Rhode Island, in a letter of July,
1654, says that Harrison was confined within five miles of the elder Har-

rison’s house, that is, not allowed to travel outside that limit, but had dis-
obeyed the order. So the regicidc’s father was living at the beginning of
the year, and there are other indications that, instead of being born in
1606, as has been stated (see Dictionary of National Biography, edited by
Leslie Stephen), Harrison was still a young man at the breaking out of
the Civil War, and under fifty when he suffered death. He resided in
Staffordshire when the King’s officers arrested him. Some Harrisons of
that county, like others of the name elsewhere, claim descent from him.
I have had a search made through the Harrison wills prior to the Civil
\Var at Liehfield, where was an archidiaconal court having jurisdiction over
Staffordshire, and no Benjamin is mentioned in any of them. If, as seems
likely, the Virginia I-Iarrisons came from another part of England, they
may have been related to the regicide through his wife, who, as is shown in
Notes and Queries, 6th Series, Vol. II., p. 383, was Catherine, daughter
of Ralph Harrison, Esq., of Highgate, Middlesex. Of Ralph’s early
history I am ignorant: he was a colonel in the army, and left his widow
the goodly annuity of £200.

Another interesting character of the name, and, moreover, one who, as
far as age is concerned, may have been the father of the emigrant to Vir-
ginia, was John Harrison, soldier, religious writer, and agent to Sallee
for the release of the English captives of the Emperor of Morocco, and
who in 1622 was sent to the Somers Islands, or Bermudas, as Sheriff of
that colony, and by the death of the Governor succeeded him, and was
Governor during the early part of 1623. He is the one who has been called
Governor of Virginia, from somebody’s hasty glance at Capt. John Smith’s
Gena-all Il'islorie, which treats of both Virginia and the Somers Islands.
Those colonies in the XVIIth Century were closely connected, being at one
time under the same Company; so that the genealogists who have started
the line of Virginia Harrisons with that Governor are not proved wrong
by his residence being in the Somers Islands instead of on the Continent,
to which they were a half—way station. One is tempted to conclude that
he was the ancestor or a near relation of the ancestor from the residence
in those Islands, almost at the same time with him, of a Benjamin Harri—
son, who was probably the one who afterwards came to Virginia, and from
John Harrison’s son or nephew—he appears in the State Papers as nephew
of John Harrison’s sister—being named Peter Harrison, like the younger
son of the emigrant to Virginia. I can find no tradition, however, to cor—
roborate such a conclusion. Of John’s parentage I am ignorant. He
frequently spoke of himself as a poor “gentleman.” His sister was in some
way mother-in-law of Sir Jerome Lindsay, Lion King-at-Arms, whose first
wife was a Colville, her parentage being unknown, and his second wife a
daughter of Sir David Lindsay, Lion King. Sir Jerome was a son of
David Lindsay, Bishop of Ross, who may have married Harrison’s sister
as his second wife. Sir Jerome had a son, Rev. David Lindsay, Minister

LEW-{8071. 4 3

of a church in Virginia, whose tombstone gives his father’s name. Alex~
ander Brown, in his Genesis of the United States, has made the mistake, not
unnatural, of identifying the Governor of the Somers Islands with Sir
John Harrison. The published Slate Papers tell us that the former had
been a soldier in Ireland three years during Queen Elizabeth’s reign, and
a servant of Henry, Prince of \Vales, for ten years, and that his wife was
Elizabeth, daughter of Ambrose \Vheeler, quarter—man in the King’s
service.

A number of Harrisons settled in Virginia in the XVIIth Century. The
connection between but few of them is known. Those who emigrated
before Benjamin the Clerk, apparently died without issue. Brown is right
in making George, who was killed in a duel, the brother of Sir John.
Very soon after 1640 appeared Thomas and Edward, the former figuring
in Neill’s works on Virginia history, first as Governor Berkeley’s chaplain,
and then as a non—conformist divine. They are mentioned also in Savage’s
Genealogical Dictionary of New England, as they resided there for some
time. They are embraced in the following tradition, brought over from
England by Rev. Joseph Harrison, a native of Skipton, Yorkshire, who
lived in the city of New York in the early part of the present century,
viz., four brothers of the name went to America, whom the Rev. Joseph
Harrison called Thomas, Richard, Benjamin, and Nathaniel, of whom, his
own father had told him, two went north and two south, a fifth brother,
Edward, a clergyman, remaining in England, Cromwell being a member
of his Church. Now, as we have seen, the name of the clergyman was
Thomas, and he was one of those who came to America. Yet afterwards
he preached in London, and accompanied Henry Cromwell to Ireland.
Edward, too, was one of those who came to America. I can find no
Nathaniel here at that time, nor any Benjamin in such registers in York-
shire as have been examined; but the Richard of the tradition appears to
be identical with the Richard living in New Haven in 1644: he may have
been the father of Thomas, who was of New Haven in 1654, and of Bran-
ford in 1666 (one of whose sons was called Nathaniel), as well as of Richard,
who had a son Benjamin, born in 1655. Four sons of Richard the younger,
viz., John, Joseph, George, and Daniel, removed to New Jersey. Thus
we have two brothers going to Virginia and two other branches of the
family, descended from a third brother, settling in Connecticut and New
Jersey. The Harrisons of the latter State claimed that one of their family
went to Virginia, and a removal thither at the beginning of the XVIIIth
Century is not improbable. Among the other Harrisons who came to
Virginia were Dr. Jeremy and his wife Frances, the latter as a widow
receiving in 1654 a patent for 1000 acres in \Vestmoreland Co. In 1655,
1000 acres were granted to her brother—in—law John Harrison in tail,
remainder to her, remainder‘to Giles Brent of Peace in said county. The
records of S. Runwald’s Parish, Colchester, give us the baptism Dec. 31,

44 Harrison.

1610, of John, son of Sydney Harrison, and Dec. 31, 1612, of Jeremy,
son of Sydney Harryson.

Benjamin as a baptismal name had some popularity in the century fol—
lowing the Reformation, or, rather, the revival of interest in the Old Tes-
tament. It does not argue relationship to find a number of Harrisons in
the time of King James I. bearing the name of the youngest of the patri-
archs. There was :1 Benjamin among the Harrisons of Northampton
appearing in the Visitation of Nort/Lmnptonshire of 1619, but there is no
evidence that he was the emigrant to Virginia. He was of the generation
born prior to the year 1600, so that he would not have been under fifty
when the emigrant’s eldest son was born. It would be gratuitous to assume
that Benjamin, mentioned in the Visitation, had a son of the same name
who was the emigrant to Virginia. The coat of arms was never claimed
by the Virginia family. However, there is little argument to be made
from coats of arms, when they first appear in the family several generations
after the emigrant, as seems to have been the case with the Virginia Har-
risons, who moreover at different times have used different ones. There is
none on the tomb of the emigrant’s son, and the arms on the tomb of the
grandson, Benjamin of “Berkeley”, are those of the Burwell family. On the
tombstone of Mrs. Mary (Digges) Harrison, who died in 1744, and was
the wife of the emigrant’s great—grandson, is impaled gules, two bars sable
between six estoiles placed three, two, and one; which with the difference
of azure instead of gules are those of the Harrisons who for some time
past have been seated at Copford Hall, near Colchester, Essex. It is note-
worthy that there was a Benjamin among the brothers of John Harrison of
St. Michael’s, \Vood street, London, who, by his will dated Feb. 19, 1638,
devised lands “ lately given unto me and my heirs by my grandmother
situate in Lence in the parish of Coppeford in Co. Essex,” to his brother
Francis and his heirs, and, in default of issue, to his said brother Benjamin
in fee. This Benjamin lived at Aldham and Ipswich, Suffolk, and had a
son of the same name, mentioned in the will of Judith Harrison in 1638,
and of Robert Harrison in 1641 ; but I do not suppose the son old enough
to have been Clerk of the Virginia Council about 1630; and perhaps both
Benjamins are accounted for in the grant of letters of administration on
the estate. of persons of the name, one of Ipswich on Oct. 18, 1665, to his
rclict Susan, and the other “lately in parts beyond the seas, bachelor,” on
Sep. 26, 1682, to Thomas Younger, a creditor. The only Benjamin men—
tioned in the Harrison wills of Essex was the son of George by his wife
Emma, Emma having. died in or before 1616, as she was then spoken of as
deceased by her mother Susan, who also had married a Harrison. This
Benjamin survived the emigrant four years, being appointed in 16:33 super—
visor of the will of a brother George, and may have been the Benjamin
Harrison of St. Sepulchre’s, London, on whose estate letters of administra-
tion were granted on April 29, 1663, to his rclict Elizabeth.

Perhaps it is better that a family so associated with the history of this
country—even in its early existence as a group of colonies, each generation
holding a respectable position in the government of the largest—should
look to no other country as the licld of any of its greatness, in fact, that its
standing in the Old \Vorld should not be precisely known. It is not cer-
tain that even the name of the cmigrant’s father would have been ascer—
tained it' all the Harrison wills of the XVI lith Century in the British Isles
could have been examined. There were, except in the days of the Com-
monwealth, a great number of probate courts, acting under the respective
archbishops, bishops, arehdeaeons, etc., even in some localities under
borough authorities. I have had such wills examined as my supposed
clues called for, including all those of the name during certain periods
in the Prerogative courts of Canterbury, and in those courts usually acting
for London, Middlesex, Essex, Kent, Suttblk, Lincolnshire, Staffordshire,
and Yorkshire, and can assert nothing. To have been employed as Clerk
of the Virginia Council indicates that Harrison the emigrant had education
and ability, and the sooner this happened after his arrival, the more likely
that he had some early acquaintance with important persons in the colony
or belonging to the Company. A clerk was appointed by the Governor
or Council on the death or absence of the Secretary of the Colony. On
June 1], 162], the Virginia Company removed John Pory from the Sec-
retaryship, and elected Christopher Davison, a brother of Francis Davison
the poet, and a son of a Secretary of State under Queen Elizabeth (see
Neill’s Virginia Ctu'olorum). Davison died, and in 162—}. Edward Sharp-
less was made Clerk. He had not served much more than a year when he
was removed, and his ears cut oft, for disclosing public documents. On
Mch. 4, 1625—6, \Villiam Clayborne was commissioned Secretary by the
King. Clayborne was not in the Province when, about January, 1629—30,
Governor Harvey arrived, bearing a commission dated Mch. 22, 1627—8,
which also reappointed Clayborne as Secretary. Before Harvey’s departure
from England, a number of planters from the Somers Islands (now Ber-
mudas) united in a petition presented to parliament on June 41, 1628, setting
forth that most of them had lived there since the infancy of the plantation,
Le. for over six years, had lately brought to England their small means in
tobacco, which had lain in the custom-house four months under a higher
duty than it would yield, and they were in great necessity, some having
been arrested for their board, and praying to have their tobacco by bills
of store for the present year. There was a Ben Harrison joining in this
petition; but, as all the names appended are in one handwriting, his signa—
ture can not be compared with that of the Clerk of the Virginia Council of
that name. On the tobacco being released at a smaller duty, this Somers
Islander may have transported himself to Virginia, a colony closely con-
nected with the other. Nobody else appearing in the records as Clerk, be
may have been employed as such as soon as William Clayborne left the

colony, or he may have arrived with Harvey, and, the Secretary not being
there, have been made clerk at the new Governor’s suggestion. The influ-
ence of Capt. John Harrison, the agent to Sallee, would be an explanation,

Jif indeed he was a relative. Harvey was a military character, and bore,
like John Harrison, the title of “Captain,” receiving knighthood on being
appointed Governor. They probably met before Harvey sailed, which was
subsequent to August 13, 1629; for Harrison made a petition on September
20. The time of Benjamin Harrison’s appointment is calculated from the
statement that he served several years. On Mch. 15, 1633—4, he certified
to the copy of Abraham Pierscy’s will, signing himself “Ben Harryson,
Cleo. Con.” In December, 1631, Richard Kemp, duly commissioned Sec-
retary, arrived. There are no wills on record in the Bermudas prior to 1660.
There is none of any Benjamin Harrison afterwards.

The earliest acquisition of land in Virginia by the emigrant was by deed
from John Davis of Kiskiake, dated July 9 in ninth year of King Charles
I., for 200 acres on \Varrosquioake Creek, which, in a patent for it dated
July 7, 1635, was said to be in the tenure of Thomas Jordan. Other
patents followed, but “Berkeley” and “Brandon,” the celebrated seats of the
family on the James River, were acquired by later generations: “ Brandon,”
as far as I can tell, by the emigrant’s son; “Berkeley,” by the first Harrison
styled “of Berkeley” in the Chart, who may have inherited it through his
maternal line. The operation of a mill probably made the emigrant’s son
a richer man than if he had been a mere planter. Benjamin of “Berkeley”
was rich independently of his father, in whose lifetime he died, possessed of
large tracts of land.

The first Harrison appears to have left but two children surviving him,
Benjamin and Peter, both by his wife Mary, who afterwards married Ben-
jamin Sidway; and as in a patent, dated Oct. 9, 1649, it is recited that 500
acres granted to Benjamin Harrison dec’d on Mch. 21, 1643, were due to
Benjamin, Jr., as “ his son and heir,” we conclude, the law of primogeniture
being in force, that Benjamin was the eldest son, and that the property
belonging to Peter in his minority was not inherited, but devised to him,
probably by his father, whose will has not been found. On Jany. 16, 1652,
Benjamin Sidway, by order of Court, conveyed certain land belonging to
“ Peeter Harrison, orphan of Benjamin Harrison.” In a patent dated 1655,
quoted by The Critic, published in Richmond, certain land is said to adjoin
that of “Peter Harrison, son of Benjamin Harrison deceased and son—in-
law of Captain Sidney,” the last word being doubtless “Sidway.”

Peter Harrison appears to have died without issue before middle age,
as he is not mentioned in the will of his mother, Mary Sidway, dated
Mob. 1, 1687~8. It gives as follows: “Item. I give & bequeath unto my
Grand Daughter Hannah Harrison the horse colt that sucks on the black
mare. Item. I give & bequeath unto Jno. Kersey one yearling hepher.
And for the rest of my estate my will is after myjust debts paid that it

Ifarrison. -1.7

be equally divided between my two sons Eenja: Harrison and Tho: Sidway
whom I do make my exors. to see this my will performed.” The will
was witnessed by Lyddeia Norwood and Sam’l Alsebrook, who proved it
on May 29, 1688.

Thomas Sidway, half—brother of Harrison, appears to have died child-
less. His will, dated Jany. '16, 1694, probated Dec. 3, 1695, gives all his
land and personal property to his wife Jeane for life, and at her d hath to
\Villiam Stringer and his heirs. The wife was named as exeentrix, and
the witnesses were Benj. Harrison and Sarah l’edington. Harrison also
left something to \Villiam Stringer, it he came to this country, meaning
probably that he had gone to England. So it is evident that he was nearly
related to or connected with Sidway’s and I‘Iarrison’s mother. He appears
to have been the William Stringer, of Charles City County, who Jany. 1,
1682, made Elias Osborne his attorney in the lawsuits between him and
\Vm. Pielterill and Thomas Hayard of Surry County. The witnesses to
the letter-of-attorney were l’anl \Villiams, John Harrisson, and George
Jennings.

The tombstone of Benjamin Harrison of Surry, the Councillor, and
Hannah his wife, gives the date of her birth and death, but not her parent-
age, and the destruction of so many of the public records and the incom-
pleteness of family records prevent our discovering this. The. late \Vil—
liam Byrd Harrison of “Upper Brandon” was of opinion that she was a
Churchill, but there is nothing to confirm this, and it may have been derived
from the marriage of her granddaughter Hannah with Mr. Churchill.

The children of Benjamin Harrison the Councillor were:

SARAH HARRISON, of whose birth the date on the tombstone at
Jamestown has been printed both 1670 and 1078, the latter being
clearly wrong, as Hannah was born in that year,—If 1670 be
correct, it shows that all the children, except perhaps Mrs. Ed—
wards, but probably including her, were by wife Hannah, as
Sarah is declared to have been, the tombstone saying: “She was
daughter of Col. Jenjamin and Mrs. Hannah Harrison ot’ Sorry.

for life, and then to his nephew Benjamin Harrison of Berkeley.

It tends to confirm the regicide tradition that the descendants of John
and Lucy Grymes (p. 49) have a tradition (see Meade) that their ancestor,
whose name apparently was not Grymes, was Lieutenant-General Thomas
of Cromwell’s army. It is of course possible that Hannah, wife
of Harrison the Councillor, was daughter of Harrison the regicide.

IRWIN.

THERE is a tradition, which I have not succeeded in verifying, that
the Irwin family in the Chart were descended from the John Irwin who
received a manor in Ireland in Cromwell’s time.

Alchibaltl Irwin, the great—great-grandfather of President Benjamin
Harrison, appears to have been born in that country. Mrs. Newcomer of
Indianapolis, among other information kindly furnished me, tells me that
this Archibald settled where his son and grandson of the same name after—
wards resided, four miles south of the site of Mercersburg, Franklin County,
Pa. This was formerly in Peters Township, Cumberland County, and a
list of owners of land in that Township in 17653 mentions an Archibald
Irwin with two hundred acres, for which the warrants had already been
issued, twenty acres being cleared, and nine sown, and with two horses and
two cows. John, James, \Villiam, and another John appear in the same
list, each having more acres cleared than Archibald. It is probable that
this first Archibald, rather than his son, was the Ensign Archibald Irwin
of the Rev. John Steel’s company of Armstrong’s battalion in ‘175G,during
the French and Indian \Var.

The first Archibald had issue, the order of birth being uncertain :

ARCHIBALD IRWIN, gr:at—gramltather of President Benjamin Il‘arrison,
was probably born in Ireland. During the Revolutionary War, he was
Quartermaster of Col. Samuel Culbertson’s battalion of Cumberland County
militia. This Archibald built a line stone dwelling-house, and operated a
flour-mill and saw-mill, whence the place came to be called “Irwinton
Mills.” He is sometimes styled “merchant” in the records. He was an
elder of the Presbyterian Church at B'Icreersburg. He died of palsy in the
\Vinter of 1798—9.

MCDOWELL.

ACCORDING to tradition communicated to me by \Villiam II. McDowell
of' Chambersburg, I’m, \Villiam McDowell, his great—grandfather, was born
in Scotland, and went to the North of Ireland during the time of religious
persecution. As he was in his infancy when the persecution of the Presby—
terians took place, he must have been taken to Ireland by his father, and
the latter must have been the person who sought an asylum. \Villiam
McDowell, if', indeed, he was not born in that country, certainly married
there, and had three or four children before coming to America. He and
his family came over about 1718, and settled in Chester County, Pennsyl—
vania, where they remained until the fall of 1730 or spring of 1731, and
then removed to the foot of Parnell’s Knob, about ten miles west of
Chambersburg. They were driven away by the invasion of the Indians,
following Braddock’s def-at. \Villiam McDowell died in 1757, aged about
seventy—seven, near the present town of' Wrightsville, York County, and
was buried at the Presbyterian Church at Donegal, Lancaster County.

RAMSEY.

THE Rev. William Speer, D.D., now of \Vashington, Pa., who has long
been interested in the family history, and has assisted me greatly in the
collection of data as to the descendants, has ascertained that the first James
Ramsey in the Chart was born in 1725, and came to America from Glasgow,
Scotland. Search has been made, at my order, by Rev. \Valter MacLeod,
112 Thirlestane Road, Edinburgh, in the registers covering Glasgow, viz. :
City Parish, Barony Parish, and Govan Parish, and no baptism of any
James Ramsey, or Ramsay, in 1725 or the year following has been found.
Although it is more likely that the emigrant was born elsewhere, and in
the year alleged, and merely dwelt in Glasgow before coming to America,
nevertheless the following entry in the register of the City Parish may
refer to him: “ 1722 September 20 George Ramsay and Isabel Littlejohn,
a lawful son James: witnesses, Robert Littlejolm, Alexander Ramsay.”
The same couple had a son George, baptized Jany. 23, 1724.

The family tradition makes the emigrant a sea captain by profession,
leading us to suppose that he landed at Philadelphia in that capacity. He
abandoned the sea at a remarkably early age. His will, dated April 23,
1755, when he was only thirty, or—if the aforesaid baptismal entry refers
to him—thirty-three, styles him of “York County, Pa., yeoman.” It
leaves one-third of his property to his wife Mary, and the residue to his
children James Ramsey and Mary Ramsey and any others to be born, his
silver watch, shoe buckles and knee buckles, and stock buckle to his son
James, and the sleeve buttons to his daughter Mary; the wife to be execu—
trix, with the assistance, if necessary, of \Villiam \Vaugh. The will was
probated May 28, 1757, and letters were granted to the widow. He (lied
April 16, 1757.

The statement having been made that he married Mary Porter on Oct.
2, 1746, and that this was after he came to America, it seemed worth while
to inquire whether the marriage, which does not appear in the published
records of the Philadelphia churches, had taken place in Glasgow. Ac-
cordingly the records from August to November, 1746, of the three parishes
above named, which remained the only ones of the Kirk of Scotland cov—
ering Glasgow, were examined by Rev. Mr. MacLeod, and the tradition is
confirmed so far, at least, that the marriage is not mentioned therein. More-
over, between 1725 and 1730 no Mary Porter appears to have been born
within those jurisdictions. Porter being a common name, the following
couples having children baptized about this time were found (the Scotch

72

Ramsey. 73

records mentioning the wife by her maiden name), viz., James Porter and
Janet \Vilkie, James Porter and Jean Biggar, James Porter and Janet
_I)I,meau, John Porter and Margaret Alexander, and James Porter and
Elizabeth Lyel. \Vhether Mary who married Captain James Ramsey was
any relation of the Porter Family to which Elizabeth who married her son
belonged, I do not know. That marriage occurring within twenty years
after Captain Ramsey’s death, his widow, as to whom I have no trace, may
readily have been living.

SYMMES.

MATHER’S .Muynalz'ct Christi Americana contains a sketch of Rev.
Zechariah Symmes, the emigrant, giving the name of his father and grand‘
father. It quotes from a record made by Rev. \Villiam Symmes in, to use
Mather’s words, “a book which was made by a godly preacher that was
hid”—Que7‘e, the book or the preacher ?—in the house of Rev. Zechariah’s
grandfather during the Marian persecution. The record closes thus:
“Both my father and mother were favourers of the Gospel, and hated
idolatry under Queen Mary’s persecution. I came by this book by this
means: going to Sandwich in Kent to preach the first or second year after
I was ordained minister Anne 1587 or 1588, and preaching in Saint Mary’s,
where Mr. Pawson, an ancient godly preacher, was minister, who knew
my parents well, and me too at school, be after I had finished my sermons,
came and. brought me this book for a present, acquaiuting me with the
above mentioned circumstances. I charge my sons Zechariah and \Villiam

. . that you never defile yourselves with any idolatry or superstition
Scripsi Dec. 6, 1602.” It thus appears that the parents of Rev. \Villiam
were married before November, 1558, when the reign of “Bloody Mary”
closed with her death; that Rev. \Villiam, to have been of canonical age
for ordination to the priesthood in the Church of England, and we are not
to presume a dispensation, was born before 1-562; and that to have been
known while at school to Rev. Thomas Pawson, who became Rector of St.
Mary’s during Rev. VVilliam’s youth, he probably attended the grammar
school at Sandwich founded in 1564 by Sir Roger Manwood. From this
I have inferred that the family belonged to that neighbourhood. The only
marriage of any of the name, in its varied spelling, appearing prior to
1559 in the registers of St. Mary’s and St. Peter’s parishes, Sandwich, the
former searched from 1538, and the latter from 15—19, was: “ 15:31 Will’m.
Si’me and Elizabeth lden the 13 of Ap’ll.” If this was the grandfather
of Rev. Zechariah, there is nothing to show that Elizabeth was his only
wife before Queen Mary’s death; for another could have been married in
some neighbouring parish, whither \Villiam seems to have removed. The
only baptism in either of the three parishes into which Sandwich is divided,
of any person of this surname, down to 1570, St. Clement’s register, how-
ever, beginning in 1563, was: “1553 John Sym sonn of \Villiam Sym ‘25
Oct.” There are many Symmes, Symes, Symme, Syme, etc. wills in the
arehidiaconal court at Canterbury, but they will not make a connected
pedigree. The will of \Villiam Sy’me of Ash next Sandwich, dated Oct.

83

84 Symmes.

10, 1573, mentions children William, Richard, and Elizabeth, and wife
Sybell, as well as “brothers Robart Sy’me and Mr. Brounemayde of
Canterbury” and kinsman John Neame. The register of Ash, beginning
in 1558, contains no entry relating to the name down to 1567, but has
been mutilated so that the part covering the last five months of 1561 and
first six months of 1562 is missing.

Edward Johnson’s U’onder— lVor/chzg Providence, written in 1652, speaks
of Rev. Zechariah’s and his father’s or his wife’s father’s (Le. his children’s
grandfather’s) sufferings “for Christ’s Kingdom,” and gives the lines:

“ Come Zachary thou must reedify
-x- as as ++ as
Thy father’s spirit doubled is upon
Thee, Syinmes, then war: thy father lighting (lied.
In prayer then prove thou a like champion !”

It is not unlikely that Zechariah’s brother \Villiam was the \Villiam
Symmes appointed preacher at Leicester in the days of the Commonwealth:
for Zechariah’s will, dated Jany. 20, 1664—5, shows that “my dear brother
Mr. William Symmes” was still living, and the prefix “Mr.” in that
Century most frequently indicated a minister.

The epitaph of Rev. Zechariah Syinmes says that he had lived 49 years
and 7 mos. with his virtuous consort, by whom he had thirteen children,
five sons and eight daughters. I have no clue as to her maiden name.

The 2nd wife of \Villiam, son of Rev. Zechariah, 1. am inclined to
identify with Mary, b. Mob. 8, 1647, daughter of John Carter of \Voburn
by his wife Elizabeth. \Vlien letters of administration were granted on
\Villiam’s estate to his widow, her sureties were Matthew Johnson Senr.
and John Carter, both ofWVoburn. \Vhen the inventory was filed, James
Convers Senr., Matthew Johnson Senr., and James Convers 2nd were the
appraisers. Savage’s Genealogical Dictionary of New England does not
state whom Mary, daughter of John Carter the elder, married : the other
children who lived to grow up were Abigail, b. Apr. 24, 1648, Hannah,
b. Jany. 19, 1651, and John, b. Feb. 6, 1653, who, or else his father, was
the surety aforesaid, while Hannah m. Jany. 1, 1668, James Convers 2nd,
one of the appraisers. John Carter 2nd lived until April, 1727, and he
and his wife may have been the uncle and aunt mentioned in a letter of
Timothy Syinmes to his brother \Villiam at \Veymouth dated June 28,
1707 (see Vinton’s Syomnes ZlIemorial). The bequest in 1681 by Sarah
Bowles’s will to “Tilliain Symmes can be explained by supposing his first
wife to have been a daughter of said Sarah by her first husband, John
Sibley of Charlestown.

TUTHILL.

BROWNING’S Americans of Royal Descent gives an ancestral line of the
emigrant Tuthill, through Grafton the Chronicler and the Earls of Chester,
to Alfred the Great: but 1 am unable to verify it. It has moreover too
many generations of Tuthills in this country. The first Tuthill named in
the Chart may have been son of John of Saxlingham, Norfolk, mentioned
in the Visitation ofEsserc in 1634 as second son of John Tuthill and his
w. Elizabeth \Voolmer, and grandson of a John Tuthill of Saxlingham.
The sons of the elder brother of the first above named John are enumer—
ated, and no Henry appears among them. The records of St. Mary’s,
Tharston, Norfolk, give the burial of “Elizabeth Tuttell widowe” —-could
she be John’s‘?——on Feb. 7, 1587, and the burial of Henry Tuthill 011
Mch. 26, 1618, and the following baptisms of the children of Henry
Tuthill (spelling it also '1‘utthill,’1‘uttill, and Tuttell) and Alice his wife,
viz.: John on Oct. 25, 1607, \Villiam on Oct. ‘29, 1609, Henrye on June
28, 1612, and Elsebeth on Mch. 9, 1616.

William H. '1_‘uthill’s Genealogy (in chart form) of the Tut/Lil! and Ifcnt
Families says that the Henry who was born in 1665 married Bethiah Horton
in 1706, thus leaving a doubt, which I can not resolve, whether the date
is seventeen years too late, or the son Henry, born in 1690, was the child
of a former wife. The Rev. Epher \Vhitaker, D.D., author of History of
Sout/zold, who has kindly given me much information, believes Bethiah to
have been the mother of Henry, and accordingly married in or before 1690.
She was born in 1671-. The will of her father Jonathan Horton mentions
her as wife of Henry Tuthill; but is not dated early enough to settle the
point. Jonathan Horton was son of Barnabas, said to have been b. at
Mousely, Leicester‘shire, England, July 13, 1600, emigrated to Hampton,
Mass, and afterwards to Southold, and son of a Joseph Horton. Jona-
than’s wife was Bethiah, daughter of \Villiam \Vells, Recorder of Southold
and Sheriff.

There is a tombstone to “ Hanna wife of Henry Tuthill,” giving as date
of her death “ in ye 24th year of her age Dec. 1, 1715.” This Henry
seems to have been the one born in 1690, his marriage to Phebe Youngs
taking place in 1717; so that Hanna was apparently the mother of the
Henry who was born in 1715. The later connection of the family with
New Jersey strengthens the likelihood of the identity of the Henry born in
1690 with the Henry Tuthill who on Oct. 22, 1711, with Elizabeth Crouch
received letters of administration in New Jersey on the estate of Richard

85

8 6 Tuthill.

Crouch, or Croutch, of Essex County, New Jersey. It is fair to presume
that Henry Tuthill had married Croueh’s daughter: thus Hanna, whose
tombstone we have mentic‘med, would have been a Crouch.

The will of the Henry Tuthill who was born in 1715 names his wife
Phebe, but whether she was the one who was mother of Mrs. John Cleves
Symmes, I do not know. The Iforton Genealogy says that Phebe, dau.
of Caleb Horton, who lived in New Jersey, m. Henry Tuthill. This
Phebe was born about 1722. Her descendants are not given in that work.
Caleb Horton’s will, dated May 16, 1759, and codicil, dated Jany. 2, 1768,
mention Phebe, but do not tell us whether she was married or single when
they were written.

VARIOUS VIRGINIA FAMILIESI

A CLUE to the ancestry of John Carter, the Virginia Councillor men-
tioned in the Chart, seemed to be allin'ded in the will of Edward Carter of
Edmonton, M iddlesex, esquire, dated and probated in 1682 (New England
[£816. and Geneal. 1669., Vol. XLVII). disposing of much property in
Virginia, and speaking of having resided on Nanseinond River, showing
that he must have been the Col. Edward Carter who was in Virginia
about 1660, and who may naturally be supposed to have been brother of
John Carter. The will gives to a son Edward “my third part (the whole
in three parts to be divided) of and in all those niessuages, tenements, lands,
and hereditaments in Chalfont St. Peter’s, Bucks.” It would seem that
the last-named property must have been inherited, and the locality the seat
of the family. Accordingly, I have had the Carter wills of the arch-
deaconry of Buckinghamshire examined, but with no result. Probably
John Carter’s wife Anne, daughter of Cleave Carter, was cousin—in fact,
first cousin—0f her husband; so there is ground for supposing that the
grandmother was a Cleave, particularly as that name was given to one of
the seats of the family in Virginia. Otherwise, it would seem strange that
the offspring of Sarah Ludlow would perpetuate the family name of another
wife. The published lists of London marriage licenses include one Oct. 25,
1611, for John Carter of Stepney, Middlesex, mariner, and Jane Cleaves
of All Hallows, Barking, widow of John Cleaves of same, mariner, doubt—
less relations-in—Iaw, and possibly parents of the Virginia Councillor or of
Cleave Carter. Mr. \V. G. Stanard finds that John Carter married at least
five times, viz.: '

lst (at least, as far as known), Jane, dau. of Morgan Glyn, she being
buried with her husband and her son George, and, if indeed the first wife,
being mother not only of George, but of John Carter, who m. Elizabeth
’VVormeley, and of Elizabeth, who m. Nathaniel (1°) Utie, said Elizabeth
Utie being mentioned in her father’s will as having received her portion;

2nd, after April, 1655, and before April 9, 1656 (when John Carter
speaks of Eltonhead Connaway as his niece), Eleanor, néc Eltonhead, widow
of Capt. William Brocas (see Hayden’s Virginia Genealogies), this Eleanor
being probably the Elenor Carter who is buried with John Carter, and
whom Bp. Meade and others have supposed to have been a daughter of
Jane, and it is probable that Eleanor had no children by Carter;

3rd, Anne, dau. of Cleave Carter, she being buried with her husband,
and appearing to have had no children by Carter, and to have (I. in or

before 1662, to allow time for Carter to have married again, and have had
a son born after Aug. 4, 1663, and before Aug. 4, 1664;

4th, Sarah, dau. of Gabriel Ludlow, she being buried with her husband,
and her daughter Sarah, and having died in or before 1668, having been
mother not only of Sarah, but also, according to tradition, of Robert,
“King Carter,” who (1. Aug. 4, 1732, in his 69th year;

5th (contract in view of marriage dated Oct. 24, 1668), Elizabeth Sherley
of Gloucester County, spinster, she not buried with her husband, but men-
tioned in his will with her son Charles.

John Carter’s will was dated Jany. 3, 1669.

The Thomas and Mary Landon mentioned on the tombstone of Betty,
2nd wife of ” King Carter,” as her parents, were perhaps the Thomas Lan—
don of Credenhill, gentleman, eldest Groom of His Majesty’s Buttery, and
Mary called “his now wife” in the will, dated Feb. 6, 1679, of his kins-
man, another Thomas Landon, who styles himself “ of Monington Stradell,
in the parish of Youchureh in County Hereford, gentleman, yeoman to the
Buttery of King Charles 1., and now in the same office to King Charles II.”
Betty was born after the will was made. Credenhill is the birthplace in-
tended on Betty Carter’s tombstone. Thomas of Credenhill aforesaid was
the son of Silvauus Landon of St. Martin’s in the Fields, Middlesex, gent,
whose will also was executed prior to Betty’s birth. Silvanus’s 2nd wife
was Frances, néc Scott, widow of Sir Anthony St. Leger. Thomas, son
of Silvanus, had a son Thomas, and it is possible that he took a wife
named Mary, lived at Credenhill, and was father of Betty. Among the
MSS. of Sir Hans Sloane in the British Museum is a letter addressed to him
by a Mary Landon dated Aug. 24, 1716, expressing a design “ to spend
her days in the service of God and the study of philosophy.” From the
Credenhill branch of the family descended Letitia Elizabeth Landon, who
wrote over the initials L. E. L. After figuring out the children that “King
Carter” had by Judith Armistead, the tombstone giving the number of
them, I am obliged to contradict the Carter Family Tree, and place Anne
wife of Benjamin Harrison among the children by Betty, nee Landon.

The tradition of any ncar relationship between the \Villiam Churchill of
the Chart and the celebrated Duke of Marlborough is contradicted by there
having been at North Aston, Oxfordshire, where XVilliam’s will says he
was born, a Henry Churchill who died as early as 1629, distinct from the
Duke’s ancestral line. This Henry is mentioned in the will of a Thomas
Churchill of Blackthorne, Oxfordshire, dated Mch. 29, 1615. Neither of
these persons appears in the account of the Churchills of Muston, Dorset,
in Burke’s Landed Gentry, although the emigrant to Virginia used as a
seal the arms of that family. The will of Henry of North Aston names
three sons,—John, Henry, and Justinian. \Villiam the emigrant is erro-
neously said in the Chart to have died in 1711. He died on Nov. 8, 1710.

The mother of Sarah Ludlow, who in. John Carter, appears to have been

Various Virginia, Homilies. 89

Phillis, the wife who survived Gabriel Ludlow, and who, as far as is known,
was his only wife. Her will, leaving everything to said Gabriel’s children,
each of' whom she called “ my son” or “my daughter,” gives no clue as to
her maiden name, and the compiler of the Ludlow pedigree mentioned in
the Introduction has failed to ascertain it. Gabriel Ludlow is mentioned
as a kinsman in the will of George VVilloughby, who was a trader in the
East Indies. He was son of Alhinus Willoughby whose nuncnpative will,
made Aug. 1, 1606, named Gabriel Pile as an overseer, which may indicate
that the relationship between George VVilloughby and Gabriel Ludlow was
through the Piles (see the Chart). The nncommonness ot' the names
“ Albinus,” or “Alban,” and “Phillis” tempts us to identify Phillis Lud-
low with Phillis VVakelyn, one of the Four daughters of Alhan \Vakelyn
of Henley on Thames, Oxfordshire, whose will was dated April 21, 1602,
and probated Feb. 10, 1602—3, but I. can not trace the family later, except
that Mary \Vakelyn, who m. Matthew Bentley of Banbnry, afterwards In.
Washington, and as “Mary Bentley alias Washington” took letters
41. b. n. c. L‘. a. on April 30, 1624. Alban VVakelyn was originally of
Eydon, Northalnptonshire, and was a grandson of Alban Butler of Aston le
\Valls, and, although the wife of Alban Wakelyn mentioned in his will was
named Amye, he is known to have married and this former wife may
have been Phillis’s mother—Anne, daughter of Robert \Vashington and
aunt of Rev. Lawrence Washington, whose son was the emigrant ancestor
of George \Vashington.

In regard to the Bassetts, Mrs. Lewis \Vashington disseuts from my
determination of the parentage of the emigrant.

The Ensign Archibald Irwin of the French and Indian War was evidently the Archibald who died
in the winter of 1798-9, the name of his father being, not Archibald, but James. The lattcr’s will,
dated May 26,1770, probat. Apr. 21, 1778, leaves to son Archibald the plantation adjoining that on
which the testator resided, and mentions a wife Jean and the children as on p. .53, except that Mary is
omitted, but son-in-law Wm. Nesbit is named, and instead of two married to McConnells, there were
Elizabeth, wife of Aaron Torrens, formerly wife of Wm. McCune, and Margaret, wife of Thomas
Patton.

PAGE 88.

The tombstone over “King” Carter’s first wife, erected presumably by himself or his son, is decorated
with two shields each bearing the Carter paternal arms (a chevron bet. 3 cartwheels) impaled. The
female side of one shield bears 3 crosses crosslet, and is to be interpreted as representing the emigrant
John Carter’s mother or paternal grandmother. The female half of the other shield, a chevron bet. 3
heads, erased, of animals evidently martins (as borne by Ludlow), confirms the statement, first printed
by Bp. Meade, apparently from records or tradition gathered by John Minor, that “ King” Carter was
the issue of the Ludlow marriage. Minor, who was great-gmat-grandson of “ King” Carter and his 2nd
wife, Betty, says that Betty’s mother was a St. Leger. Betty’s father came to Virginia, and his will
identifies him with Thomas, son of Silvanus Landon, which Silvanus married, as his 2nd wife, the
widow of St. Leger. Thomas may have married St. Leger’s daughter.
