Carol Middleton's Webpages
Reconstructed by D La Pierre Ballard
BalCro, 19-JAN-2007
This webpage is dedicated to the memory of Carol Middleton who passed
away on 20-SEP-2000. She did phenomenal genealogical work on the
Bassano and Lanier families. She was also a renowned writer and
artist.
Many of Carol's webpages were saved as text files while her website
was still in place. This file is from those text files.

CHAPTER: 001: Carol Middleton's Introductory Page

Carol Middleton's Genealogy Home Page
When I was a little girl, I knew I was an artist. I drew and drew and
drew. Perfectly natural, my mother told me. After all, she herself was
a gifted artist as was her Lanier mother. How right Mother was! After
reading about the Laniers and also the Bassanos, I am sure where we
got our artistic gifts. The Laniers and Bassanos were artists, poets,
writers and musicians of long ago ... and of now! Add to my Lanier
grandmother, my mother, and me-- all the many gifted others with
Lanier and Bassano blood. We have the gift! It is in our genes!
Ponder the LANIER / BASSANO LEGACY.
Thus, the LANIER line is where I start. I know also of the artistic
and musical gifts of my BASSANO family. But I want to know about the
others, whose lines branch into and out of the Lanier / Bassano
lines-- the MALONES, the BIRDS, the WYNNES, the FOWKES, the
THOROWGOODS and all the others. Their pages are here too. And what am
of my Scottish ancestors -- the NICOLS, the MacKINNONS, and the
DOUGLASSES. Maybe my love of exploring and an abiding love of the
land. It seems the more I learn of my ancestors, the more I understand
myself. To paraphrase an old friend of the family, "... we are such
stuff as genes are made of."

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamonds glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
when you awaken in the mornings hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die ...
A poem thought adapted from a saying of the Makah Indians, and here
from a Florida grave marker, shared by Fanny Young.

CHAPTER: 002: Arderne
**********************************************************************
Carol Middleton's Arderne line
Lynn Arderne shares with us the family's place in history: during the
English Civil War of the 17th century Sir Ralph Arderne (1608)
supported Oliver Cromwell but his son, Sir John Arderne, supported
King Charles II and went into exile with him until the Restoration,
when he was knighted at Whitehall and appointed Sheriff of Cheshire. A
similar situation arises during the Wars of Roses when our family
supported the Lancastrians, through marriage and property ties.
Sir John de ARDERNE and Margaret de ALDFORD
Sir Walkyn de ARDERNE and Agnes de ORREBY
Sir Peter de ARDERNE and Margery (-?)
Sir John de ARDERNE and Margery ap MADOC
Sir John de ARDERNE and Alice de VENABLES
Peter de ARDERNE and Cicely de BREDBURY
Charles de ARDERNE and Elizabeth RADCLIFFE
John ARDERNE and Ellen DUNCALFE
George ARDERNE and Katherine PALMER
Richard ARDERNE and Margaret GREENE
Alice ARDERNE and John DENNE
With thanks to Steve Brown, Lynn Arderne and Bruce Ardern Note from
Lynn Arderne: There is a South African branch to the family., begun in
the early 1800s, when a young Arderne son, Richard Crewe Arderne,
decided to make his fortune in South Africa. Unfortunately he and his
wife died shortly after arriving in SA in 1849 but their son, John
George Arderne (b. 1838), was the first male Arderne born in Africa
and the Southern African branch are all descended from this one man.
Bruce Ardern has Ardernes in Cheshire -- Altrincham, Timperley &
Mere.
DISCLAIMER: please bear in mind, some of the information on these
Arderne pages, especially the dates may be skewed. Since I am still
gathering material, I have not corrected the more obvious. Please
pardon those errors and know that in time, I hope to get it right.
Some newer material gleaned from "The Magna Charta Sureties" by
Frederick Lewis Weis.

James WATTS and Susanna TAYLOR
With thanks to Jim Woodyard and many thanks to Dawn Watts Westfall,
Steve Etheridge and Al Walker
Husband: James Watts
LifeNotes: He was a private in the SC lines during the Revolution
(from DAR Records Vol. 108, Pages 170-171, "Southern Watts, Colonial
and Revolutionary Soldiers").
There is a 1769 deed acknowledgement between James and Susannah Watts
and Nathaniel Manson in the court records of Halifax Co, VA. James
Watts was a witness 12/12/1768 to the Halifax Co, VA will of James
Taylor, who gave all to wife Allis (Alice?); other witnesses were John
Shackelford and Beaverley Longan. There is note that in 1769 some of
James Taylor's account was paid to James Watts. He is listed among
others, as a defendant against Alice Taylor in 1770 and 1771.
There is an additional Halifax Co, VA 1773 court reference to him in
a proceeding involving Ralph McNair with William Caison (Cason??) as
surety.
Born: 11/6/1729 in Middlesex Co, VA. (year and place from "Southern
Watts, Colonial and Revolutionary Soldiers".) A second birthdate has
been given for him in a DAR document of 1/6/1719. He was the first
deacon of Greenville Presbyterian Church. My feeling is that the 2nd
birthdate might be correct, considering his parents' marriage date of
4/12/1716.
Married: 1755
Died: 2/16/1781 SC; buried Greenville Presbyterian Church, Abbeville
Dist., SC
Parents: John Watts and Elizabeth Bailey

CHAPTER: 006: Bassano1
**********************************************************************
The sudden appearance of Emilia Bassano (Madame Lanier) might seem
strange in this series on women musicians, for Emilia was not a
musician, and it is above all as a poet that she is present for us
today. But when researching the musical life of Venice in the late
16th century by chance one discovers the Bassano family and the
fascinating destiny (though still laden with mystery) of Emilia, how
can one resist the desire of sharing this stroke of luck? In the wake
of Emilia, the beautiful Moor, appear other characters who are more
well known, including a certain Shakespeare ...
The adventure begins in Venice at the beginning of the 16th century,
when a family of musicians originating from Bassano, a small nearby
town, established itself there. The probable reason for their move?
The Bassanos were of Jewish descent, and the town of Bassano most
likely expelled them. They found in Venice a city more tolerant, for
the moment. The first document mentioning a musician by the name of
Bassano comes from the archives of the Scuola di San Marco, concerning
a procession in which "Ser Alvise da Bassan di maestro Jeronimo"
figured as trumpeter or cornettist: Alvise de Bassano, son of
Jeronimo, for whom other documents attest his existence as member of
the Doge's band of piffari. To give the details of Alvise's career in
Venice, and later Bologna, would take us too far afield, but for those
interested in the lives of the Bassanos, we mention a basic work which
has been most valuable to us in the preparation of this article: The
Bassanos, Venetian Musicians and Instrument Makers in England, 1531
1665, by David Lasocki and Roger Prior, published by Scholar Press.
In the 1520s, Alvise seems to have made a trip to England as a player
of the sackbut. In fact, the documents concerning the musicians at the
court of Henry VIII mention, in addition to the four (!) English
musicians stemming from the court orchestra (which had sunk quite low
since it had been left to Henry by his father) six newly arrived
Italians, among the names of which one finds "Alvisy de Blasia." If
the transcription of Alvise for Alvisy seems obvious, what can
"Blasia" mean? There are various opinions: perhaps it can be traced to
San Biasio, one of the churches in Venice? Whatever the case may be,
what is certain is that Alvise returned to Venice in 1528. In 1531, he
went back to England, this time with three of his brothers, Jasper,
John, and Anthony, all in the musical service of Henry VIII. They
returned to Venice in 1536. Then, in 1537, another brother, Baptista,
left for England. This brother is even more interesting, since he is
the future father of ... Emilia. The fascinating quadrille continued,
with the departure for London in 1538 of Anthony, followed by Jacomo,
another brother, as instrument maker / wine importer! To say the
least, the Bassano family was not put off by traveling! What also
seems evident is that the talent of the six sons of Jeronimo (in order
of birth, Jacomo, Alvise, Jasper, John, Anthony, and Baptista), as
instrumentalists and makers of wind instruments, was recognized not
only in Venice but also in London. In the years 1535 1540, Henry VIII
decided to improve the musical staff at his court, and he charged his
Venetian agent, Edmond Harvel, to recruit the Bassano brothers. The
Bassanos demanded substantial guarantees, for in order to leave
Venice, they were required to obtain the authorization of the Doge and
would lose their employment there. Even more important, the Bassanos
were of Jewish origin, which meant that they ran certain risks in the
contemporary political climate of London, even if Henry VIII, who had
broken definitively with Rome, sought their goodwill.
The negotiations were successful, and at the end of 1539, Alvise,
John, Baptista, and Jasper, along with their respective families, made
a definitive departure from Venice for England, rejoining Anthony
there. (Jacomo had returned to Italy on the death of his father,
Jeronimo, probably to take over his business as instrument maker).
Here we are unable to follow their adventure: for this one should
consult the book mentioned above. In three generations, the
Bassanos-musicians, jurists, and merchants- became, through a few
solid alliances, one of the more respectable families of the English
"gentry," endowed with a family crest and several properties. And now,
finally, to our female character, Emilia. (This preamble was necessary
to introduce our character and understand her personality.)
Emilia Bassano was baptised on January 25, 1569. We know the details
of her youth through the notebooks of the astrologer Simon Forman,
whom she consulted a number of times, starting in 1597. Thus, we learn
that she lost her father at about the age of seven, then her mother,
at the age of 18. Her father, Baptista Bassano, was one of the six
brothers mentioned above. Her mother was Margaret Johnson, Baptista's
concubine. Shortly before the passing of her mother, Emilia became
lady-in-waiting for the Countess of Kent, thus coming into contact
with the Court, where her great beauty, dark complexion, and black
hair (unusual in England) made her stand out. Numerous conquests are
attributed to her, but she was officially the recognized mistress of
the old Lord Henry Hunsdon, the Lord Chamberlain, who kept her in
sumptuous fashion. She had a son by him, also named Henry. To make the
birth more respectable, Emilia was married off to Alphonso Lanier,
musician of the Queen, in October 1592. From their union Odillia was
born, to die at the age of nine months.

CHAPTER: 007: Bassano2
**********************************************************************
The Masque of Oberon was performed for Prince Henry at Whitehall for
New Year's, 1611. This was the year of publication of Emilia Bassano's
book: the coincidence is too striking to not take this disc as an
illustration of her biography, especially as compositions by the
Bassanos are included. During the masques, which frequently punctuated
life at court, the members of the royal family mixed with aristocrats,
dancers, musicians, and actors amidst sumptuous settings and costumes.
Surviving in a very fragmented state, this masque was very patiently
reconstructed by Philip Pickett, who even took care to arrange the
musicians in the same way as in the Banqueting House of the English
court. Needless to say, the visual aspect of the entire experience is
lacking, but the effectiveness of the musical performance is
sufficient to transport us back in time several centuries, and to
imagine Emilia Bassano amidst the fairies.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Lanier family was already linked to the Bassano family, since
Nicholas Lanier, court musician, had married in his second marriage
Lucretia Bassano, daughter of Anthony, and thus Emilia's cousin.
Huguenot, originally from Rouen, the Lanier family arrived at the
court (represented by Nicholas, flutist and cornettist) in 1561.
Nicholas also had six musical sons (the parallel between the two
families is fascinating), including Alphonso, born in 1563 from his
first marriage. Alphonso Lanier tried unsuccessfully to have himself
ennobled, particularly after accompanying the Count of Essex on his
Irish Campaign. This permanent barrier to a higher social rank, and
thus a better financial situation, would make Emilia say (to her dear
astrologer) that her husband had ruined her and obliged her to ply the
trade of courtesan in order to survive. Whatever the case, the poor
Alphonso Lanier would never be more than Captain of Arms ... Alphonso,
who died on September 20, 1613, used far more energy in attracting the
attention of his protectors to his feats of arms, and in seeking
financial support, than he did in plying his subaltern trade of
flutist. After the death of Queen Elizabeth in 1603, he no longer
appeared on the lists of musicians of her successor, James I.
Emilia began her confidences with Simon Forman in 1597, on the
occasion of one of the military expeditions of her husband, this time
to the Azores. Simon Forman was reputed to be attentive to his
clients, the relationship being part of the treatment which he
advertised. What exactly would he have received from Emilia? We do not
know very much: perhaps she let herself be drawn in by the astrologer,
but not to the point of becoming his mistress. What is certain is that
in 1600 all relations between them ceased, Forman addressing her very
amiably as sorceress. Unfortunately for us, from this date on it
becomes rather more difficult to trace the existence of Emilia
Bassano. It is known that she stayed for a while with the Countess of
Cumberland at Cookham. Then, four years after the death of Alphonso,
she obtained authorization to open a school in the parish of
St-Giles-in-the-Fields, from which she obtained some income toward
living expenses. (The passing of her husband had given rise to a long
lawsuit between Emilia and the Lanier family.) She lived the rest of
her life in relative poverty, was arrested and evicted from her
school-home in 1619 for non-payment of rent, and was buried on April
3, 1645, at St. James Clerkenwelle at the age of 66. Her son, Henry,
who had in turn become flutist at the court, predeceased her in 1633.
Such an existence, interesting but scarcely unusual from the point of
view of the women of her time, does not justify her posterity. A
beautiful courtesan, from a lineage of musicians, adored, then
abandoned, Emilia is first and foremost the author of an undisputed
masterwork of English poetry, Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum, published in
1611, when she was 42. The first woman published at the end of the
English Renaissance, she reveals in this work not only an effective
pen but also a strong character, which one would describe today as
proto-feminist. Each of the nine poems which make up the collection is
preceded by a dedication (sometimes lengthy) to women of her time: in
order, Queen Anne, Princess Elizabeth, "all virtuous women in
general", and the Countess of Cumberland, her protector. Passionately
converted, Emilia opts nevertheless for a title which salutes God
first of all as King of the Jews. In the contemporary context, how
could one have any doubt about her background? Moreover, Emilia does
not hesitate to reinterpret the Scriptures in her own way: the
principal subject is a meditation on the Passion of Christ,
attributing the responsibiblity for the Crucifixion to men alone. In a
section entitled "Eve's Apologie in Defense of Women", Emilia gives
Adam the responsibility for original sin, and deduces from this that
today women must defend their religious, social, and political
equality with men. This was in 1611, let us remember!
Finally, the other claim to fame for Emilia Bassano was that of
having been, without a doubt, the mistress of William Shakespeare. We
say "without a doubt", though this theory, advanced in The Times by
the historian A. L. Rowse, is subject to controversy. But all the
evidence seems to suggest it. Emilia's mother, as we know, was named
Margaret Johnson: she was the aunt of Robert Johnson, lutenist and
composer, musician for Shakespeare's theater company. Another piece of
evidence is the fact that the Lord Chamberlain, Lord Hunsdon, Emilia's
lover, became in 1594 the patron of Shakespeare's company of actors.
The scant facts which are known of Shakespeare's biography will never
allow absolute certainty. Shakespeare's sonnets are made up of two
parts: the first, dedicated to a young man he became very attached to,
most probably the young Count of Southampton the second has for its
theme the love of the poet for a woman of easy virtue ("The bay where
all men ride"), though married, with dark hair and eyes, known as the
"Dark Lady". We know that Emilia, Italian, was of Sephardic Jewish
origin, thus of a very Mediterranean type. Another strange
coincidence: the romantic character in the Merchant of Venice is a
Venetian named ... Bassanio. Where did Shakespeare hunt up this name,
and where did he get his detailed knowledge of Italy? Moreover, actors
and musicians mixed freely at the Court, and one knows that
Shakespeare, as well as Ben Jonson, collaborated with Thomas Lupo,
another relative of Emilia's through marriage. Finally, Shakespeare,
in one of these sonnets, calls his mistress "my music". Who, more than
Emilia-Bassano by birth, Lanier by marriage-was immersed in music,
even if we do not know if she herself was a musician?
Emilia Bassano, poet, courtesan, mistress of Shakespeare? Whatever
the truth may be, Emilia, as we see her, is a fascinating and
mysterious woman who, today as yesterday, does not reveal herself
completely and retains her independence. But she is worthy of being
known, and above all serves as a guide to lead us into the musical
life of England in the late-16th and 17th centuries.
In 1994, a musician named Peter Goodwin, born in 1945, a member of
the Philharmonia Orchestra, professor of sackbut and trombone at the
Royal College of Music in London, member of His Majesty's Sagbutts and
Cornetts, the English Baroque Soloists, and The English Concert,
decided to change his name: from then on he would be called Peter
Bassano. He was the distant descendant of one Giovanni Bassano. From
henceforth, he consecrated himself to the repertoire of his forebears
...

patron to William Shakespeare's theatrical company. When Emelia became
pregnant with Henry's child, a marriage was arranged for her by the
Queen (cousin to Lord Hunsdon).
I suspect our Emelia knew How to Make an Elizabethan Corset. You can,
too. Visit While there pick up tips for making other necessary items
such as fartheringales and bumrolls.
While you're there, drop by Ye Olde Dress Shoppe.
Emelia married Alphonse Lanier of the Lanier family of musicians; he
was in turn given a position in the Irish Service and so he was often
away. The child was named Henry, after his father. Emelia had a second
child, a daughter, Odilla, who died as an infant. She ended her affair
with Hunsdon in the early 1590s. She was a published feminist poet.
See a bit of Elizabethan gossip about Emelia and a family friend named
William Shakespeare.

Lucreece BASSANO and Nicholas LANIER
Visit a Renaissnace Town.
Wife: Lucreece Bassano
LifeNotes: she was the daughter of the Bassano family of musicians
who came to England to serve Henry VIII. They probably originated from
the city of Bassano del Grappa near Venice. At that time, the fabulous
Renaissance courts of the Medici were winding down and the artists and
musicians of those courts were seeking work elsewhere.
So one can imagine that our Lucreece was of a very cultured
background. Assuredly, she was as instrumental as her husband,
Nicholas Lanier, in passing her own enlightenment on to her children.
Born: probably 1530-40, London, England
Married: before 1565 in England
Died: about 1/4/1633-34; buried in buried at St Alphege, East
Greenwich, England
Parents: Anthony Bassano and Elena de Nazzi. See their Bassano page.
Husband: Nicholas Lanier
LifeNotes: Nicholas Lanier of Rouen, France, played the flute and the
cornet. He was master flutist to Henri II of France.
During the Protestant persecutions, he was a Huguenot to England with
safe passage arranged for him by his patroness, the widowed queen
Catherine de Medici. Nicholas arrived at the new court of Elizabeth I
in 1561.
Behold Elizabeth I and check out her garments!
The bright young queen Elizabeth I, thrilled at the New Age she
generated, drew artists, poets, scholars and musicians to England from
all over Europe. Naturally they wished to be near the brilliant star
Elizabeth. Here the Arts were glorified. Here was the epicenter of a
cultural explosion. This was the time of William Shakespeare and Ben
Johnson. Explorers such as Francis Drake were discovering new worlds;
Walter Raleigh was forming expeditions colonize them.
The Laniers were right in the midst of it. In court, marriages were
arranged by the Queen. Nicholas Lanier, was paired with Lucreece
Bassano, daughter of an Italian musician of the Royal Orchestra.
Nicholas was made Master of Flutes. The couple prospered, acquiring a
great deal of property in East Greenwich, Blackheath, and nearby.
Three generations of this remarkable family served the British
Monarchy as court musicians, poets and artists; their efforts are
well-documented- and their efforts were well-rewarded.

There is a book, published by Clarkson N. Potter, called The Poems of
Shakespeare's Dark Lady (a reprint of the original, printed in 1611).
In his introduction to this book of Emelia Bassano Lanier's poetry
(Salve Deus Rex Judeorum--Hail, God, King of the Jews), the
Elizabethan scholar and author A. L. Rouse speculated that Emelia was
The Dark Lady of Shakespeare's Sonnets.
Prior to her marriage to Alphonse Lanier, she was involved with the
Lord Chamberlain, Lord Henry Hunsdon, son of Mary Boleyn, nephew of
Anne Boleyn. It is said that the son Henry Lanier, born to Emelia, was
Lord Hunsdon's. The marriage to Alphonse was arranged by the Queen to
settle the problem. Alphonse was conveniently at sea most of the
time-- a gentleman volunteer, on voyages under command of the Earl of
Southampton.
The affair with William Shakespeare supposedly took place soon after
this marriage. We know Shakespeare wrote hints of his own life into
his work -- all artists do that. Remembering this, one can "read in"
all sorts of "proof", when looking at his plays.
Looking at the Sonnets to the Dark Lady, it is clear theirs was a
passionate, if uneasy, affair. There are enumerable defensive "swipes"
at her. In reading Emelia's poems, it is clear she was high-spirited
--a powerful personality, as Rouse puts it-- with a gift for words.
And she was also a woman with a cause, that of women wronged.
Still there are glimpses of Emelia's relationship with William
Shakespeare. It took place during his early days in London where he
had moved his family to live in Bishopsgate. It was also during the
early stages of patronage by the Earl of Southampton.
Rouse describes a skit of Love's Labour's Lost, played out at the
house of the Earl of Southampton, with Emelia as Rosaline and the
actor-dramatist Shakespeare himself as Berowne (Biron). And imagine A
Midsummer's Nights Dream, before it was officially presented, played
in the forests of Southampton's estate. See Emelia as Hermia, seeking
her fickle lost love ... Delicious!!

William BEALL and (-?)
Husband: William Beall
LifeNotes: He was a braboner -- a linen weaver -- in St. Andrews,
Fife, Scotland.
"The Index of Testaments for the Commissariot of St. Andrews, records
on 8th November 1653 the will of Christian Traill. The Testament was
given up by her husband William Bell, younger, braboner in St.
Andrews, and mentions William Bell, elder, also a braboner in St.
Andrews, presumably her father-in-law.
It is possible that the William Beall who witnessed the baptism of
Alexander Bell's son William in 1647 was this William Bell, elder,
braboner in St. Andrews. Also that William Bell, elder, was the father
of both Alexander Bell who married Margaret Ramsay and William Bell,
younger. Readily available records in Scotland revealed nothing else
identifiable with this familiy in Fife County or St. Andrews parish."

This suit begins with Wyatt complaining that he has been slandered by
being called a thief in public. Caswell then explains that Wyatt had
been "something in drink more than was convenient at the time". Four

This case continues with statements by Bird that the agument between

William Tucker. A Prince George County record of 7/11/1723, says "...
300 acres ordered to William Tucker from Nathaniel Malone, for whom it
was surveyed ..." Was left no land in his father's will because he had
received the land 8 years before hs father died. Known as William
Malone of Bristol Parish, Prince George Co, VA (or Dinwiddie Co.)
In 5 /1748, William began to amass his Brunswick Co, VA property for
the apparent purpose of providing land for his children., On 5/5/1748,
"William Malone of Bristol Parish, Prince George Co, for the love I
have for my son-in-law Drury Robertson of St. Andrews Parish in
Brinswick Co, deed 180 acres in St. Andrews Parish on the south side
of the Meherrin River ..." Later a deed gift of a slave girl named
Phan was given for "love, good will and affection to my son-in-law
Drury Robertson."
On 7/29/1762, "William Malone of Dinwiddie Co. deeds to George Malone
of Brunswick for 5 shillings "one negroe Toney" and acreage on the
north side of Taylor's Creek; "the land on whicxh he now lives, the
same that was granted to the said William Malone in Williamsburg."
On 1/1/1764 in a deed, "William Malone of Bristol Parish, Dinwiddie
Co. deeds for affection to son Reuben Malone of Brunswick Co. all the
land belonging to William Malone on the south side of Taylor's Creek,
and one negro boy, Signed: William Malone and Ann (X) Malone."
Note that William's eldest son William did not receive a deed gift
because by law the eldest son would inherit his father's lands in
Bristol Parish.
Additional land deeded to William Malone of Bristol Parish in
Dinwiddie Co, for 100 in current money, by John and Martha Williamson
of Prince George County on 6/19/1753 355 acres bounded by Stony Creek

Cornelius CARGILL and his wives Sarah Roberts, Mary LUCY Anderson,
widow, Elizabeth Daniel, maybe Judith Walker, and Hannah (-?) Blanks,
widow
Husband: Cornelius Cargill
LifeNotes: The earliest mention of him in court records occurs
12/21/1715 in Surry Co, VA, although that does not mean he lived
there. He probably was living in Prince George Co, VA at that time.
Around 1717 he was appointed Constable of that county. He bought
property -- 50 acres on Cat Tail Swamp-- from Charles Anderson (son of
Mary Lucy Anderson Cargill) 3/4/1718 in Prince George Co, VA. The part
of Prince George Co. where he lived became part of the new Brunswick
Co, VA. In 1728 there was a record of a land transfer in his name in
Brunswick Co.
There is record of a land transfer in 1727 in Surry Co, VA., land he
had bought from Mary's sons. He received monetary rewards many times
for killing wolves who roamed the county-- 4 pounds, 20 shillings each
time, according to custom. In 1736, Cornelius Cargill was appointed
overseer of the road from the Roanoke River near Hogans to the Long
Branch; such an appointment was considerd an honor for it was every
man's duty to assist in the making and upkeep of public roads.

Thanks to Joy King for the following 5 items: In 1746, he was made a
Justice of the Court in the new county of Lunenburg Co, VA; he kept
that position for 17 years.
1746-48 Sunlight On The Southside by Landon C. Bell p.55: At May
Court, 1746 the County Court of Lunenburg Co, VA made appointment of
list takers, as shown by the following orders: ... "Cornelius Cargill,
gent., is appointed to take the list of tithables in this county from
the mouth of Little Roanoke River to the mouth of Blew Stone, and so
to the county line, and also in the fork of Roanoke." ... p.55 None of
the lists taken pursuant to these appointments have been found.
At June Court, 1747 ... Cornelius Cargil, "in the fork of Roanoke."
... None of the lists taken for 1747, pursuant to these appointments,
have been found.
At June Court, 1748 ... Cornelius Cargill, "in the fork and to
Butcher's Creek." ...
Note jk: pp.64-66: His list has 78 names on it including William,
Ephriam, Henry, James & Edward Sizemore.
On 7/1/1755, a deed states Cornelius sold 400 acres known as
Cargill's Elkhorn, to Theophilus Field; this land may have been in
Prince George Co. He also bought 2 Black slaves, 4 feather beds, 15
cattle and 20 hogs. interestingly, another deed states that he sold
the same to William Byrd later. It is thought that much was passed
back and forth in gambling transactions. See further extracts.
After the death of Hannah Blanks, Cornelius no longer had a home, he
then bought 400 acres on the north side of the Stanton River in
Halifax Co, VA. Two years later he gave this land to Menoah Tinsley,
his son-in-law in return for the payment of all his debts.

Byrd made a notation of this fact in his diary (Boyd, William K. and
Percy C. Adams, William Byrd's Histories of the Dividing Line betwixt
Virginia and North Carolina, p. 307). She was still a femme sole on 25
Aug 1731 when she was granted, as Elizabeth Daniel, 466 acres (New
Land) on south side of Jeneto Creek, adjacent William Watts corner &
George Hicks, even though by that time she probably had had most or
all of her children by Cornelius (Nell Marion Nugent, Cavaliers and
Pioneers, Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents and Grants, Vol. 3, p.
405). She was finally called his wife on 2 Jul 1735 in a deed from
Cornelius and Elizabeth Cargill to Philip O'Reiley (Brunswick Co, VA.
Deeds, Vol. 1, pp. 196-97).

Cornelius (Neil) CARGILL and Sarah WILSON Harris
Not of my direct line but of interest to others
Thanks to Emily Davis and to Elaine Ratliff and thanks for the
updated material on Cornelius III from Julie Kersey Brewer based on
"And the Tree Grew" by Millie Wolf
Husband: Cornelius (Neil) Cargill
LifeNotes: He received several grants in SC, the oldest grant dated
1767 (400 acres in Berkeley Co, warrant 3/3/1767, the land was on a
branch of Little River called Beaverdam Branch, bounded on the east by
land laid out to John Cargill and on land laid out to David Tyger and
... to James Ryan, and to the west on land laid out to Macheness Good.
All other sides vacant); this is thought to be the land on which they
were living when their daughter Tabitha was born. In 1772, he received
350 acres on Cane Creek in Craven Co, SC and 100 acres on Raeburns
Creek.
In 1779 Cornelius received 200 acres on the same river; this land,
surveyed by Pat Cunningham 12/7/1789, bounded land laid out to James
Boyd, John McNeese, Thomas Dendy, John Cargill, and David Degert.
From History of Edgefield County, South Carolina, the following is an
account of Neil Cargill's death:
"Spring of 1781 ... siege of the Fort at Ninety-Six by General Greene
... Col. Cruger the commander of the Fort ... The Tories under
Carghill went up early in the Spring to the assistance of Cruger ...
After Cruger left 96, having abandoned the fort, while passing down
the country, he permitted Carghill's men to visit their homes, and
they on their way passed the house of Captain Solomon Pope, where they
found three of Pope's men, Aaron Wever, Joe Allen, & Fred Sissan, whom
they made prisoners. Having no place of confinement after the loss of
Ninety-Six, they took them into a swamp near by on Mine Creek and put
them to death.
Captain Pope immediately called his company together, hastened to
Mount Williang and called on Capt. James Butler for assistance. With
their forces united they met the troops under Carghill in the fork of
Cloud's Creek and Little Saluda, where a bloody fight ensued, in which
Carghill's men were completely exterminated. It is said that about
half of them were killed after they surrendered, so great was the
exasperation of the Whigs at their conduct in murdering Pope's men a
short time before. Only one man was left alive, Henry Etheridge."

Clan Currie, known in the old days as Clan McMuhurrich, were founded
by Muiredach O'Daly of the bardic family. The designation of Bard was
heriditary. Muiredach was forced to flee to Scotland in 1213 after
slaying the Chief of the O'Donnels (who had the NERVE to demand rent
from the great poet), settling in Finlaggan, stronghold of Donald,
Lord of the Isles (grandson of the Celtic-Norse founder of the Kingdom
of Innesgal) and giving support against the Stewarts.

church, which was begun in 1800, was a log meeting house built on the

following exerrpt from the oldest extant minute book of the church,
from a book entitled "Sketch of the History of Harmony Church"and
written, as R. C. describes it, in a beautiful script:
"In the summer or fall of the year anno domini 1800, Murdoch
McMillan, then a licentiate of Orange Presbytery preached a sermon at
the house of Daniel Gill, about five miles from the site of the since
Harmony church, to a crowded audience.It being, in a manner, a
destitute place, and the the people being pleased with him, to
encourage his service among the, they soon after built for him and
themselves a temporary log meeting house at John McLean's"
"Alexander Nicholson and Angus Curry were ordained Elders in the fall
of the year AD 1833 by the Rev'd John Warnock. Mr. Curry moved to
Barbour County, Ala. in December AD 1834 where he now lives". R. C.'s
Note: The "Sketch" was written in 1838 by a minister serving the
church at that point in time. A "destitute place" as mentioned above
means that there was not preaching of the Word of God in that
vicinity.)

William de BRAOSE and Matilda / Maud de St.VALERY
Husband: William de Braose
LifeNotes: Was Lord of Bergavenny and Brecknock by inheritance from
his mother. Was 4th Lord of Bramber, inherited Bramber, Builth and
Radnor from his father. Was the strongest of the Marcher Lords
involved in constant war with the Welsh and other lords. He was
particularly hated by the Welsh for the massacre of three Welsh
princes, their families and their men which took place during a feast
at his castle of Abergavenny in 1175. He was sometimes known as the
"Ogre of Abergavenny". One of the foremost Norman warriors, he was
with King Richard at Chalus in 1199 (when Richard received his fatal
wound).
William de Braose received Limerick in 1201 from King John. He was
also given custody of Glamorgan, Monmouth and Gwynllwg in return for
large payments. William captured the King's nephew Arthur, Count of
Brittany at Mirebeau in 1202 and was in charge of his imprisonment for
King John. Among his many favors, he was granted Gower in 2/1203. He
may have known of the murder of Arthur. He was awarded Limerick by
John in July. He was restored to the office of Sheriff of
Herefordshire by John for 1206-7. He had held this office under
Richard from 1192 to 1199
But in about 1209, when the kingdom labored under the Pope's
interdiction, and John deemed it expedient to demand hostages from his
barons to ensure their allegiance, should the Pope proceed to the
length of absolving them from obedience to the crown, his officers who
came upon the mission to the Baron de Braose, were sent by Maud, his
wife, and peremptorily informed that she would not intrust any of her
children to the king, who had so basely murdered his own nephew,
Prince Arthur. William rebuked her, however, for speaking thus, and
said that if he had in any way offended the king, he was ready to make
satisfaction, according to the judgment of the court, and the barons,
his peers, upon an appointed day, and at any fixed place, without
however giving hostages. This answer being communicated to the king,
an order was immediately transmitted to seize upon the baron's person,
but de Braose heard of this and fled with his family to Ireland.

Reginald de BRAOSE and Groecia BRUERE / de BRIWERE
Husband: Reginald de Braose
LifeNotes: Was Lord of Abergaveny. Had his grant confirmed by King
Henry III., and he had livery of the castle and honor of Totness, with
the honor of Barnstaple, having had previous possession of other
estates.
Reginald de Braose supported his brother Giles de Braose against King
John. They were both active against the King in the Barons' War.
Neither was present at the signing of Magna Carta because they were
still rebels who refused to compromise. King John aquiesced to
Reginald's claims to the de Braose estates in Wales in May 1216. He
became Lord of Brecon, Abergavenny, Builth and other Marcher Lordships
but was very much a vassal of Llewelyn Fawr, Prince of Gwynedd and now
his father-in-law.
He was restored to favor by Henry III and got back the Bramber
estates which had been taken from William de Braose by King John in
1217. Seeing this action as betrayal, Reginald's nephews, Rhys and
Owain, princes of Deheubarth, were incensed and took Builth (except
the castle). Llewelyn Fawr also became angry and beseiged Brecon.
Reginald eventually surrendered to Llewelyn and gave up Seinenydd
(Swansea). By 1221 they were at war again with Llewelyn laying seige
to Builth. The seige was relieved by Henry III's forces. From this
time on Llewelyn tended to support the claims of Reginald's nephew
John de Braose concerning the de Braose lands.
Reginald de Braose was a witness to the re-issue of Magna Carta by
Henry III in 1225.

William de BRAOSE, 6th Baron of Aberg and Lady Eva MARSHALL
Husband: William de Braose, 6th Baron of Aberg
LifeNotes: Was of Abergavenny. He was suspected of a dalliance with
the wife of Llewellyn, Prince of Wales, who invited William to his
castle for an Easter feast, then threw William in prison after the
banquet. William de Braose was thereafter hanged as was Prince
Llewellyn's unfaithful wife, Joan.
The Annals of Margam (in T. Gale, ed, Historiae Britannicae et
Anglicanae Scriptores XX (Oxford, 1687), 2-18, [anno] MCCXXX) implies
that the "intimacy" was devised by Llywelyn to avenge himself on
William for political injuries inflicted not only by William but by
the entire Braose family; the execution was hailed by the Welsh as a
vindication of a blood-feud against the Braoses dating from at least
1176. Indeed, shortly after the execution Llywelyn wrote to William de
Braose's widow Eva and to her brother William Marshal, Earl of
Pembroke, stating, in effect, that as far as he was concerned, the
intended marriage between Llywelyn's son Dafydd and Eva Marshall's
daughter Isabella could go forward as planned, and that he could not
have prevented the Welsh magnates from taking their vengeance. See J.
Goronwy Edwards, Calendar of Ancient Correspondence concerning Wales
(Board of Celtic Studies of the University of Wales, History and Law
Series, 2) (Cardiff, 935), pp 51-52, nos. XI.56a, 56b. The marriage in

Maud de BRAOSE and Roger MORTIMER
Wife: Maud de Broase
Born: 1230
Married: 1247
Died: 1300-1
Parents: William de Broase of Brecknock,3rd Earl of Pembroke, and
Lady Eva Marshall
LifeNotes: She was co-heiress of her father William de Braose, of
Brecknock. Thus the line ended with Maud and her sisters.
Husband: Roger Mortimer, Lord Mortimer, of Wigmore
Born:
Married: 1247
Died: by 10/10/1282
Parents: Ralph de Mortimer and Gladys Dhu
LifeNotes: Roger was a great-grandson of King John. In the 31st year
of King Henry III, paid 2,000 marks to the king, had livery of all his
lands, excepting those whereof Gladys Dhu, his mother, then surviving,
was endowed.
During the following 6 years, Roger de Mortimer attended the King
Henry III to Gascony, and later, when Llewellyn, Prince of Wales,
began again to make incursion upon the marches, was commanded to
assist Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, in the defense of the
country lying between Montgomery, and the lands of the Earl of
Gloucester. In the 42nd year of the same reign he had another military
summons to march with the King Henry III against the Welsh; and being
in that service, had a special discharge of his scutage for those
twenty-six knights' fees and a sixth part which he held in right of
Maud, his wife, one of the daughters and co-heirs of William de
Braose, of Brecknock.
In two years afterwards Roger Mortimer was made captain-general of
all the king's forces in Wales, all the barons marchers receiving
command to be attendant on him with their whole strength; and he was
the same year constituted the Governor of the castle of Hereford. But
notwithstanding this extensive power, and those great resources, he
was eventually worsted by Llewellyn, and constrained to sue for
permission to depart, which the Welsh price conceded, owing to his
consanguity. After this he took and active part in the contest between
Henry III. and the insurrectionary barons in favor of the former. He
was at the battle of Lewes, whence he fled into Wales, and afterwards
successfully planned the escape of Prince Edward. Having accomplished
his prince's freedom, Mortimer, directing all his energies to the
embodying a sufficient force to meet the enemy, soon placed Prince
Edward in a situation to fight and win the great battle of Evesham
(August 4, 1265), by which the king was restored to his freedom and
his crown. In the celebrated conflict Mortimer commanded the third
division of the royal army, and for his faithful services obtained, in
the October following, a grant of the whole earldom and honor of
Oxford, and all other the lands of Robert de Vere, Earl of Oxford, at
that time and by that treason forfeited. The Dictum of Kenilworth
followed soon after the victory of Evesham, by which the defeated
barons were suffered to regain their lands upon the payment of a
stipulated fine, but this arrangement is said to have caused great
irritation among the barons marchers, (Mortimer with the rest), who
had acquired grants of these estates.
Roger Mortimer was, however, subsequently entrusted, by the crown,
with the castle of Hereford, which he had orders to fortify, and he
was appointed Sheriff of Herefordshire. After the accession of Edward
I, he continued to enjoy royal favor, and had other valuable grants
from the crown.
Upon received a knighthood from King Edward I, Roger Mortimer held a
tournament, at his own expense, at Kenilworth, where he entertained a
hundred knights and as many ladies, for three days, in a grand manner,
the like of which was never before known in England; and there began
the round table, so called from the place wherein they practiced those
feats, which was encompassed by a strong wall, in a circular form.
Upon the 4th day the golden lion, in token of triumph, having been
yielded to him, he carried it to Warwick. His fame spread afar and it
happened that the Queen of Navarre sent him certain wooden bottles,
bound with golden bars and wax, under the pretense of wine, but in
truth filled with gold, which for many ages after were preserved in
the Abbey of Wigmore. Whereupon for the love of that queen, he had
added a carbuncle to his arms.
Their children were:
* Ralph de Mortimer
* Roger de Mortimer. Succeeded his father at age 16. 5th Lord of
Wigmore, Lord of Chirke, part of the territories of Griffith ap
Madoc.Married-1st: Joan Geneville, daughter of Peter de Geneville and
Joan Lusignan. Married-2nd: Maud de Lacy, daughter of Walter de Lacy,
Lord of Meath.
* William de Mortimer. Was of Bridgewater. Married Hawise Musegros,
heir of Robert de Muscegros and Agnes Ferrers.
* Isabella Mortimer. Married John FitzAlan, Earl of Arundel, son of
John FitzAlana and Maud de Verdon. Their son: Sir Richard FitzAlan,
Earl of Arundel.
* Sir Edmund de Mortimer, 7th Baron of Wigmore, born about 1261.
Succeeded his father in the 10th year of King Edward I. Married
Margaret Fiennes, daughter of William de Fiennes and Blanche Brienne
(Blanche was the great-granddaughter of Jean de Braose, King of
Jeruselem).Their children: Roger de Mortimer (succeeded his father),
John Mortimer (slain at age 18 in a tournament, 12th year of King
Edward II, by John de Leyborne), Hugh Mortimer (was a priest, rector
of the church at old Radnor), Maud Mortimer (m. Theobald de Verdon),
Joan Mortimer (was a nun), Elizabeth Mortimer (was a nun). The year
after his succession, while doing his homage, Sir Edmund had livery of
his lands. He afterwards constantly employed in the Welsh wars, and
was summoned to Parliament as a baron, from 6/8/1294, and from
6/23/1295, to 6/2/1302. He was mortally wounded at the Battle of
Buelt, against the Welsh, and dying almost immediately, at Wigmore

William de BRIWERE and Beatrice de VAUX
Husband: Sir William de Briwere, Lord of Derby, Lord Horsley
LifeNotes: William Briwere, son of Henry Briwere, "... in
consideration of xxxi Marks in Silver purchasing from Hawise de
Ilesham, Raphe her Husband, Roger her Son and Heir, and Auger his
Brother, the Inheritance of all their Land at Ilesham, and that Right
therein, which they held of him, by the Service of half a Knights Fee
... In which year, being constituted Sheriff of Devon, he continued so
till the end of that King's Reign.
After the death of King Henry II, Sir William stood in such high
esteem, with Richard I, "That, upon the going of that King into the
Holy Land, in the first year of his Reign, he and Hugh Bardulf were
associated to the Bishops of Durham and Ely, in the Government of the
Realm."
Furthermore, in 3rd year, Richard I, the King being then in the Holy
Land, and doubting that the Bishop of Ely might not perform his Trust,
as he expected; this William was one of the three, to whom the King,
by his special Letters, gave command, That they should assume the
government into their Hands. Thus much for the Trusts and Favours
which he received from King Richard I. Nor were they less from King
John, after he assumed the Crown "In which year (viz. 17 Joh.) the
King having raised two great Armies, the one to restrain the Irruption
of those Rebellious Lords who staid in London; the other to march into
the North, for the wasting of those Countries; he constituted this
William one of the Principal Commanders of that which staid near
London."
In 7th year Henry III, William de Briwere was constituted Governor of
Newcastle upon Tine. And, as in the time of King Henry II, and King
Richard I, he had "for divers years undergone the Care and Trust of
the Sheriffalty in several Counties of this Realm." So did he, in like
sort, for many years of King John's and King Henry III's reign. And,
having married Beatrix de Valle, a Concubine, as 'tis said, to
Reginald Earl of Cornwall (which is probable, for in a Grant made by
Henry Son to the same Reginald, unto this William, of the Mannor of
Karswell, and Land of Hakford, he calls him his Brother) he had Issue
by her two sons, viz. Richard, who died in Life-time, as it seems and
William: as also five Daughters, viz. Grecia, married to Reginald de
Braose; Margaret to William de Ferte; Isabel, first to ----- Dovre,
and afterwards to Baldwin Wake; Alice to Reginald de Mohun; and Joane,
to William de Percy: and departing this Life in 11 H. 3. was buried
before the High-Altar in the Abby of Dunkeswell before-mentioned."---

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Daniel DOUGLASS and Effie McLEAN
Husband: Daniel Douglass
LifeNotes: May have been named Donald at birth and later chose to use
the English version Daniel. He and Effie immigrated to America from
Isle of Skye, Scotland, before the Revolutionary War. He was in
Richmond Co, NC by 1778. On 7/30/1779, he applied to State of North
Carolina for a grant in (then) Montgomery Co, NC (formerly Anson Co)
-- 50 acres including improvements. This was land on which Daniel was
already living, located "beginning at a black jack in Caleb
Tombstone's line and running hence south forty-five degrees east
forty-five poles to a stake in Allen McSwain's line, etc." Shown on a
tax list, paying taxes on the land for 1780-82. It is speculated that
the land was adjacent to the property of the legendary Scottish
heroine Flora McDonald and her husband Captain Allan McDonald; they
bought their land-425 acres- from Caleb Tombstone in late 1775 (this
land was confiscated from the McDonalds in 1777, due to their being
Loyalists and the couple left the area). Daniel Douglass is not shown
as loyal to any side during the War. Since he received the grant, that
would indicate he was not an active Tory.
Note: Many Scots immigrated into North Carolina and other areas in
the 1700s. Bee Lane tells us that all immigration ceased from late
1775 until the peace treaty was signed in 1783.
Daniel Douglass moved to Richmond Co, NC in 1784 (Richmond Co. was
formed from Anson Co, 11/10/1779). Daniel bought Richmond Co. property
in 1785 (100 acres), 1792 (50 acres), 1795 (30 acres), 1799 (25
acres), 1806 (50 acres, a 25-acre swap, 355 acres). Most of this land
now lies in Scotland Co, NC which was part of Richmond until 1889.
Daniel Douglass was considered a very successful planter.

Angus DOUGLASS and Sarah CURRY
My gggggrandparents
Husband: Angus Douglass
LifeNotes: Arrived in America -- in Richmond Co, NC after late 1785,
before 10/1787. He settled some 10-15 miles from his father's home,
closer to Rockingham, the county seat.
From Bee Lane: In the Court of Law and Equity of Richmond Co, NC on
29 Sept 1813 he became a naturalized citizen of the USA., along with
38 other aliens who had arrived before Jan 1795. Great Britain
prohibited emigration from there to the American colonies during the
Revolutionary War (1776-1783). Only those who came after the war were
considered aliens, thus being required by the States to register,
swear allegience to the USA and seek citizenship. The War of 1812 with
Britain stirred up the enforcement of this law.
Bought 75 acres north of Mark's Creek from Norman McLeod in 1793. In
2/1815, bought 150 acres at Sheriff's sale for $300, property of
Daniel Munroe, on Mark's Creek near Hall's (Hale's?) Bridge joining
land of Daniel Lackley (this land was sold by his son Duncan C.
Douglass on 8/14/1819 to Peter M. Cole). In 10/1817, bought 200 acres,
land joining McCaskill and McIntosh. The chaincarriers for the survey
were Angus Douglass and his son Alexander Douglass.
Born: 1759 in probably the Highlands of Scotland, according to
grandson, John Love MacKinnon, Jr., author of "The History of Walton
Co." [FL]
Married: ca 1793
Died: 6/30/1819 in Richmond Co, NC. Died intestate-without a will.
See the estate records. Angus was buried Old Sneads Grove Cemetery,
Laurel Hill, NC, which is an abandoned cemetery near present-day
Laurenburg in that part of Richmond Co, NC which is now Scotland Co,
NC.
Parents: Daniel Douglass and Effie McLean
Wife: Sarah Curry
LifeNotes: it is said she was quite young when she married Angus
Douglass. She was named in her father's will (dated 11/15/1807;
probated 6/1813, Richmond Co, NC) in which she received a cow, as did
her sisters Mary Curry Nicholson and Abigail Curry McDuffie. Their
brother William Curry and their mother received the bulk of the Curry
estate which included 200 acres on each side of Mark's Bridge. See her
Curry page.
Born:
Married: ca 1793
Died: 1/30/1833 Walton Co, FL
Parents: Angus and Christian (-?) Curry. Angus's will dated
11/15/1807, probated 6/1813, Richmond Co, NC.
Their children were:
* Alexander Douglass, born ca 1794-5 in Richmond Co, NC. On 1/3/1822,
bought land next to Murdock MacKinnon, Sarah Douglass and Daniel
McSwain. Migrated with his mother Sarah Curry Douglass and brother
Daniel B. Douglass (and possibly sister Mary Douglass) to FL about
1826; stayed on the Chipola River in Gadsden Co, FL for 2 years and
farmed. He was appointed and served in the 1825 FL Legislative Council
of the Territory representing Gadsden Co, FL. He later tried to join
others in Walton Co, FL; he was held back by a rise of the waters. He
surveyed the river and the land and made the first crossing at the
spot referred to as Douglass Ferry, which was named for him. The
crossing became a popular spot for travelers. At age 55, married Mary
(Oates?), listed in the 1850 census for Walton Co, FL as age 23, born
AL and in the 1860 census as age 35, born AL. Alexander is listed in
the Walton Co, FL 1850 census as age 42 and 1860 census as age 65,
born in NC. Their daughter Mary E. Douglass, born ca 1857-8. (listed
in 1860 census as age 3). On 11/29/1864, Alexander Douglass died of
exhaustion while moving his cattle in the waters of the Lincoln
Freshet. He is buried with other relatives in the Euchee Anna
Cemetery.
* Duncan C. Douglass, born ca 1796 Richmond Co, NC. As Bee Lane puts
it, Duncan seemed to have a penchant for getting into trouble. His
record is spread all over Richmond Co, court records. On 6/15/1815, in
the Court of Pleas and Quarterly Sessions of Richmond Co, NC, Duncan
was ordered to pay Catherine McLeod the sum of $20 with Angus Douglass
as security for payment for maintenance of a child born of Cartherine;
this sum was to be paid in quarterly amounts for a year. Caty was
granted the right to keep the child for another year with payments of

Catharine DOUGLASS and John Love MacKINNON
Wife: Catharine Douglass
LifeNotes: She migrated from the green North Carolina mountains with
her husband, babies, and many other Gaelic-speaking families to the
exotic beauty of the Florida Territory. Catharine and John settled on
Bruce Creek, west of the Indian Fields. They called their home
Pleasant Hill. They were friendly with the Euchee Indians who lived in
the Valley. Later the Euchees left the Valley, and relations with
other Natives deteriorated.
At the close of the Creek War of 1813-14 in Alabama, fought so
fiercely by men such as Andrew Jackson, David Crockett, and Sam Dale
against Creeks such as Menawa, Osceola, Peter McQueen, and William
(Red Eagle) Weatherford, many Creeks moved west. Some, however, went
south to live with the Seminoles in Florida; one of these was Osceola.
The Seminoles hated the whites. Also living with the Seminoles were
Blacks who were runaway slaves. Florida was under Spanish rule at this
time. In 1817, General Jackson went into Florida and burned every
Seminole village he found. He burned his way to the Spanish fort in
Pensacola; then he took the fort. With this threat in hand, President
John Quincy Adams then demanded that the Spanish government restore
order. In 1818, Spain ceded the Florida Territory to the United
States.
The Seminoles were forced to live on an island reservation conditions
were terrible; many died; many, however, got stronger in their hatred.
Osceola led them. In 1832, in the Treaty of Payne's Landing, the
whites arranged for them all to be moved west. Enraged ever more, the
Seminoles began to raid the settlers with a new vengeance. Many died
on both sides. Fear was rampant.
The situation became so serious that in 1836-7, the Seminole War
resulted. While John took command of the troops in his area, Catharine
kept a refuge for her neighbors. When her husband brought home two
small Native boys that he had found during a battle, Catharine took
them in. She cared for them for several months until the boys could be
returned to their own people. For more about the Seminole War, see
John Love McKinnon's page.

Campbells, the MacRaes, the McLeans and others. These families settled
in Euchee Valley, Knox Hill, Euchee Anna on Bruce Creek and in Mossey
Bend. in the lush beauty of the Florida panhandle.

Tillieres. He was seigneur de Saint Hilaire de Ferriers near Bernay
and the son, of Walkelin de Ferrers, who fell in a contest with Hugh

upon the King's return from captivity. Joined the Earl of Chester in
the successful seige of Nottingham Castle. Was given a seat on the
great coucil at Nottingham as reward. Furthermore, he was honored as
one of the 4 persons to carry the canopy over the King Richard's head
at the second coronation.
When King John came to the throne, William joined the Earl of
Chester, the Earl of Clare and others in swearing fealty to the new
king, on the condition that every person should have his right.
William attended the coronation of King John. He was created Earl of
Derby soon after. He was "girt with a sword by the king's own hands
(being the first of whom in any charter that expression was used)."
Was granted 1 penny out of three of the fees paid the sheriff. Was
given for the sum of 4000 marks, the manor at Higham-Ferrers,
Northampton Co, with the hundred and park, plus the manors of
Bliseworth and Newbottle, in the same shire; which were part of the
lands of his great grandfather, William Peverel, of Nottingham.
Additionally King John also conferred upon him a mansion-house,
situated in the parish of St. Margaret, within the city of London,
which had belonged to Isaac, a Jew, at Norwich, "to hold by the
service of waiting upon the king (the earl and his heirs), at all
festivals yearly, without any cap, but with a garland of the breadth
of his little finger upon his head." Thus William de Ferrers
maintained allegiance to the King foaaasr his life and after that King
died, the loyalty went to the next King Henry II.

Gerard FOWKE and Ann THOROWGOOD Thanks to Mike McGuire
Husband: Gerard Fowke
LifeNotes: Gerard was Gentleman of the Bedchamber for Charles I.
Colonel of Horse. Fled to Northern Neck of Virginia in 1651, soon
after the Battle of Worcestor, transported to VA before 1654 by his
brother Thomas Fowke.
He may have had a first wife Hope ?, according to Margaret Bean
Langley (this from Linda Reno)
Acquired a great deal of land in Westmoreland Co, VA. Was Colonel of
Troops there.
"The Englishmen on the banks of the Potomac mingled elegant pleasures
with rude labors and perilous enterprises. There is a record of a
contract in 1670 between John Lee, son of Col. Richard Lee, then
deceased, Henry Corbin, Isaac Allerton, and Dr. Thomas Gerrard, for
building a banqueting house at or near their respective lands. The
English colonist acted as far as the circumstances would permit,
precisely as he would in London. It was a rare thing if the richer
settlers did not visit the mother country once during the year ...
Among those who resided in the "suburban" area (Westmoreland Co. VA)
above Machodic, at Nomini Creek, were: Walter Brodhurst, Edmund Brent,
Nicholas Spencer, Valentine Peyton, Maj. John Hallowes (Hollis), Above
Nomini resided at Appomattox Creek (now Mattox) Col. John Washington,
his father-in-law, Col. Nathaniel Pope, William Butler, the minister,
and Andrew Monroe, who lived in Maryland, in 1643.
Still further up the river, beyond Nomini, were Samuel Hayward, Col.
Giles Brent, and his famous sister, Margaret Brent, at "Peace" on
Acquia Creek. Other settlers were Capt. John Ashton, Capt. John Lord,
brother of Rich'd Lord, of Hartford, New England; Capt. William
Hardwich, a tailor from Maryland, brother-in-law of Mrs. Washington;
Thomas Sturman, of Maryland Daniel Hutt, formerly of London; John
Rosier, minister, Anthony Bridges, Capt. George Mason (born in 1629),
John Hillier, Capt. Thomas Ewell, Col. Gerrard Fowke, Col. Thomas
Speke, Capt. William Pierce, Capt. John Appleton, Col. Tomas Blagg,
Capt. Alexander Bainham, Col. John Dodman, Lewis Markham, Clement
Spelman, William Browne, of Plymouth, Daniel Lisson, Robert Vaulx, and
Capt. Thomas and William Baldridge." ( Genealogies of VA Families"
from Wm. & Mary Quarterly, Vol. V, p.903-907.) (this information
posted to MDCHARLE by Pat Obrist)
From Elizabeth Wellborn Scheiffelin, "In Search of a Magna Charta
Signer": Was brought before the Assembly, Gerard Fowke, along with
Captain Giles Brent, John Lord, and Captain George Mason, was charged
with having affronted Wahonganocke, King of the Potomac Indians. The
Burgesses ordered that the men pay Wahonganocke 100 arms length of
Roanoke (wampum) apiece, or "match coats instaed, at 20 arms length
every coat." For permitting a "murtherer" delivered into his custody
by Wahonganocke to escape, Fowke was ordered "to pay to the publique
tenne thousand lb. of tobacco." Furthermore, Fowke and Brent were also
fined 15000 lb. tobacco for imprisoning said Wahonganocke, and "that
they bee incapable of bearing any office, civil or military, in this
countrey", plus they had to give bond for themselves and pay charges.
Interesting to note that despite the harsh judgement of the Burgesses
against Gerard, he was elected to the Burgesses for Westmoreland Co,
VA 2 years later. A year later, he was in Charles Co, MD in the 1660s.

Vance Graves.

information.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thomas GRAVES and Katherine CROZIER or CROSHAW
Husband: Thomas Graves
LifeNotes: Kenneth Vance Graves states: "Thomas Graves, gentleman,
arrived in Virginia in October of 1608, coming from England in the
ship 'Mary & Margaret' with Captain Christopher Newport's second
supply."
Graves tell us that Thomas Graves was one of the original Adventurers
(stockholders) of the Virginia Company of London and one of the very
early planters who founded Jamestown, Virginia, the first permanent
English settlement in North America. Thomas is listed as "Thomas
Grave" on page 364, Records of the Virginia Company of London, vol.
IV.
From Graves: "The First Colony (consisting of knights, gentlemen,
merchants and others of the city of London) made a settlement at
Jamestown on May 13, 1607, which became permanent." Thomas was active
in the colony. He went on an exploring expedition and was captured by
Indians and taken to Opechancanough [half-brother of Powhatan and
uncle of Pocahontas]. Thomas Savage, who had come to Virginia with the
first supply on the "John and Francis" in 1608, rescued him.
It is thought perhaps that Thomas Graves regularly and frequently
traveled to England, Ireland, Holland, and New England because he is
regularly recorded in Virginia then there are lapses. It appears that
Katherine and the three oldest children were in Dublin, Ireland, then
came to America later. See the note re: John Graves below.
"In 1617 the Virginia Company, hoping to expand population and
agricultural production in the colony, encouraged private or voluntary
associations organized on a joint stock basis to establish settlements
in the area of the Virginia Company's patent. The Society of Smith's
(or Smythe's) Hundred (later called Southampton Hundred) was organized
in 1617. In addition to Captain Thomas Graves, the Adventurers also
included Sir Thomas Smith, Sir Edwin Sandys, and the Earl of
Southampton.
Soon after April 29, 1619, Governor Yeardley wrote to Sir Edwin
Sandys: "I have entreated Capt. Graves, an antient officer of this
company, to take charge of the people and workes". Captain Thomas
Graves was a member of the First Legislative Assembly in America, and,
with Walter Shelley, sat for Smythe's Hundred when it met at Jamestown
on July 30, 1619 and was a representative from Smythe's Hundred to the
first meeting of the House of Burgesses.
The Records of the Virginia Company state that in 1622 was granted "a
patent to Thomas Graves of Doublin in the Realm of Ireland, gent.."
He is shown on "A List of Names of the Living in Virginia Feb. 1623"
as living on the Eastern Shore. His patent was for 200 acres in then
Accomack Co, VA, now Northampton Co, VA (Patent Book No. 1, p. 72,
Land Registrar's 0ffice, Richmond, VA.). The land was on the east side
of Chesapeke Bay, west of the land of Captain Henry Flute. By 1625,
there were 51 people living on the Eastern Shore. Thomas was given the
task of determining direction of local affairs. He was one of several
appointed a Commissioner "for the Plantacon of Acchawmacke".
He was in the House of Burgesses, representing Accomack, for the
1629-30 season and for the 1632 session. He attended many of the
meetings of the Commissioners, but he was absent from Dec 30, 1632/3
until Oct. 23, 1633/4, probably abroad.
Born: ca 1575-80
Married: probably about 1610, in maybe England
Died: 1635-6, Accomack Co, VA
Parents:
Wife: Katherine (maybe Croshaw?)
LifeNotes: There was a Raleigh Chroshaw, Gent., who arrived with the
second supply with Thomas Graves; some think Raleigh was Thomas'
brother-in-law. Katherine is shown living at the Old Plantation,
Accomack, as of 5/20/1636.
Born: ca 1586
Married: probably about 1610, in maybe England
Died: 5/20/1636, Accomack Co, VA
Parents:
Their children were:
* John Graves, born ca 1611, probably in England as he did not
receive land as an "Ancient Planter" (All persons in Virginia prior to
1616 received an additional 50 acres; this is the proof that Thomas
Graves did not bring his wife and children when he first came to
Virginia). Married in ca 1624 or later, (-?) maybe Perrin, the
daughter of "... the illustrious Perrin family, large property owners,
and prominent in Virginia history, " according to family historian
John Card Graves. Their children were: Ralph Graves (b. by 1629; m.
Rachel Croshaw ca 1652-4; d. 5/9/1667), William Graves (b. by 1631; m.
to ?; d. before 1668), Thomas Graves (b. by 1631; m. Elizabeth -?),
Sarah Graves (m. Thomas Dipnall, a Burgess from James City Co, VA in
1654; d. by 1661), Daughter Graves (m. William Grenther).
John Graves was "of~ age" (21 years of age or older) before
2/19/1634/5, for he had sued John Parramore (Accawmacke 1, p.26),
proving he was born at least by 1614, and on that date the Acchawmacke
Court's decision was "John Parramore ordered to pay a debt of 100 lb.
tobacco to John Graves".
John Graves received a patent 8/9/1637 of 600 acres in Elizabeth City
Co. near the upper end of Back River "due in right of descent from his
father Thomas Graves, who transported at his own cost himself,
Katherine Graves his wife, John Graves the patentee, and Thomas
Graves, Jr., and 8 persons." (Cavaliers and Pioneers, Nugent).
Interestingly, the land was near that of Captain Adam Thoroughgood
(see his page on this site). John Graves receievd patents in 1638 and
1639 too.
The holdings of John Graves were near the York County line and almost
directly opposite Hungar's Creek in Northampton Co. (formerly
Accawmacke) on the Eastern Shore, where his father had lived and where
his sisters were still living at that time.
John Graves died about 4/1640 intestate in Elizabeth City County.
William Parry was named his administrator and bond was made
(Northampton CO., Book 2. p. 281) . Capt Roper, William Cotton and
Capt. Stone, brothers-in-law and also administrators of the estate of
Capt.Thomas Graves, were originally appointed administrators of
Graves' estate, but in 4/1640 they resigned and William Parry was
appointed.
* Thomas Graves, born ca 1616-7, probably in England. Known as
"Thomas Graves, Sr. of Timberneck Creek, Gloucester Co, VA planter."
Married (-?). Their children: Thomas Graves (b. ca 1639; m-1st: Mary
-? before 1677; m-2nd: Elizabeth -?), Jeffrey Graves (m. Dorothy ?
before 1680), William Graves (m. Mary -? by 1686), maybe Mary Graves.
Thomas Graves died ca 1674-5, Gloucester Co, VA., leaving his
considerable land holdings to his sons Thomas, Jefferey and William.
On 6 Mar 1674-5 Thomas Graves and Jeffery Graves, sonnes of Tho
Graves, Senr., dec'd, were granted land in Gloucester Co, Abbington
Par. due them under the will of their father.
* Verlinda Graves, born ca 1618 in VA. Married in Hungar's Parish,
Accomack Co, VA before 1640 to Captain William Stone. See his will.
William and Verllinda were in MD where William Stone later became
Governor, appointed Governor of the Colony by Lord Baltimore. The
Stones relocated to first St. Mary's County and then to Charles
County, MD by 1648 when he was governor. Stone served as governor from
1648 to 1656 (with two interruptions) and was a member of the Council
from 1656 until his death in 1659-60. In 1654, he received Poynton
Manor, an estate of about 5000 acres, mostly in Charles County, MD,
from Lord Baltimore. Their children: Elizabeth Stone (m. William

Albertus HENDRICKS and Aeltje / Helchey (-?)
John or Johannes HENDRICKS and his wives Francis Bezer and Rebecca
(GROESBECK-?)
Henry HENDRICKS and Jane (-?)
Eleanor HENDRICKS and John ODELL
Many thanks to Herb Hendricks and based on his work and the work of
Mary Hunt Copeland, Wilma Kirkland, and Gene Hays.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Albertus HENDRICKS and (-?) Aeltje or Helchey (-?)
Husband: Albertus Hendricks
LifeNotes: He was a cooper. Appears on a ships list 5/29/1662 of
"Gulden Aurent", Captain Jacob Janz Huys. Thought to be an indentured
servant of Joost de la Grange.
Thanks to Bill Hendricks for the following: Col Meredith Hendricks
was the source. He believed Albertus came as one of the unnamed
servants of Joost de la Grange. Joost purchased Tinicum Island but his
widow lost it back to the seller for failure to make all payments. In
the settlement the judgement provided that Albert (who is the
husbandman) is to perform his condition formerly made with Mr Carr
(widow de la Grange's new husband) to Jufroe Popegay. (the original
seller of Tinicum Island.) If this is true, then Albertus immigrated
May 29,1662 aboard the Gulden Arent.
Albertus Hendrickson was the first recorded public official in
Pennsylvania history after the Duke of York formally organized the
government. He took office in 1676 as constable of Upland.
From researcher Gene Hays: "Records from New Jersey Colonial
Documents, Salem surveys #2, p 551, 28 March 1685, Memorandum of
Agreement. Wm. Fleetwood sells to Albert Hendricks, 400 acres of land.
Albert Hendricks' land is shown on a Delaware Co. map as being five
miles down the river from Tinicum Island abuting the river with eldest
son James' land just below it. It is on the lower part of Chester City
with the upper edge being where the Commodore Berry (Perry?) bridge
crosses the Delaware River. Albert said he took his patent to Wm. Penn
when Penn first arrived but it was never returned to him.
On 11 May 1702/3 Francis Lovelace, Esquire to Albert Hendricks, 500
acres, recited patent to Albert Hendricks for the same tract which was
found on resurvey to contain 570 acres, patent date 11 March 1702/4.
In 1697 Albert Hendricks gave to his son James Hendricks 100 acres
(son James was about 30 years old then), Thomas Bright, Albert's
son-in-law received or bought 64 acres; Caleb Pussey bought 60 acres
and 20 acres were transferred to John Bayles in 1692 for the use of
the mill. 10 June 1701 deeds of 50 acres to son John and 70 acres to
son Albert Jr. This left Albertus with about 206 acres which he
bequeathed to his son Tobias Hendricks dated 5 Jan 1714/15.
In 1686 Albert Hendricks was appointed by the court to supervise the
construction of a horse bridge to Chester. On pages 110 of History of
Delaware Co. Albert Hendricks was the first known constable of the
area. Also Albert Hendrix and son Jacobus or James appear on the tax
list. Albert Hendrickson was a juror in 1681/82.

W. Richard HIGHTOWER and Kate McKinnon TERVIN or TARVIN
Husband: W. Richard Hightower
LifeNotes: He was from a Monroe Co, AL (Burnt Corn) family and
married into a DeFuniak Springs (Walton Co, FL) family. He and his
wife Kate Tervin Hightower had several children; the family lived in
Freeport, FL Dick Hightower worked at Southern States Land & Timber
Company's mills, Millview, FL. His sister Queen Hightower lived in
DeFuniak Springs; she was married to John Mott Ackerman. Sadly, a
month after the birth of Kate, their baby, Kate Hightower was taken
ill with yellow fever, and she died. The younger children and the new
baby were sent to relatives in Talladega until their father make
better arrangements.
On July 3. 1892, Dick took his 11-year-old son Jamie and some other
children for a sailing excursion in Perdido Bay. Far from shore,
things went terribly wrong-- Jamie fell overboard. Dick went into the
water to save his dear boy. The children left in the boat did not know
how to handle the boat and it drifted away from Dick and Jamie.
According to reports, Dick made a valiant struggle to pull his child
to shore, but his strength gave out and both drowned. See the write-up
of the accident.
So were left orphaned three very small children, Clarence, Katherine
and baby Kate Hightower. Kate was taken in by the McLean family (Emma
Tervin McLean) and friends but Clarence and Katherine were put in
Talladega Orphanage where they were adopted by Miss Lucy Smith of
Columbiana, AL.
The happy ending here is that those children grew up to be wonderful
productive people; they were very close to each other all their lives.

Matthew HOWARD, Sr. and his wives Elizabeth (-?) and Ann (-?)
Husband: Matthew Howard, Sr.
LifeNotes: Came to Virginia by 1635 as he was involved in a court
suit with a Mr. Evans that year. Was in VA with the Thoroughgood
family by 2/8/1637-38 when he was in the Upper County of New Norfolk
on the western branch of the Elizabeth River. (This information comes
from a land patent granted to Robert Taylor, which describes the land
grant boundaries as on the West Branch of the Elizabeth River bounded
on the west with Matthew Howard running nearly into the woods and
Sly.) Mathew Howard was the executor of the will of Richard Hall in
1648.
From Norfolk Co, Minute Book, 163746, page 6: "Oct. 26, 1637, Court
Proceedings ... Lower Couty of Norfolk. "Whereas it doth appear that
John Boulter did buy of Matthew Heyward four bbls. of Indian Corn
being in the house of Robert Jones ... the aforesaid Boulter coming to
demand a while after, without any notice or token from under Heyward's
hand the said Jones denied to deliever, but being very earnest for it,
the said Jones delivered two barrels and a bushel of it. It is
therefore ordered that the said Robert Jones shall repay the aforesaid
corn by the 1st of January, or else executiuon to be awarded."
The will of Richard Hall: left "Anne Howard a cow calf and a barrow
shote, Elizabeth Howard two cows and their increases, to Mathew Howard
the younger a sow shote, to Cornelius Howard a sow and my hat, to John
Howard my wigg and new clothes, to Samuel Howard, my money and
tobacco, and to old Mathew one yearling Stear calf and my best paor of
breeches." This will was proved 11/15/1648 by Matthew Howard.
Governor Berkeley of Virginia demanded that colonists swear loyalty
to the Anglican church and attend services. Governor William Stone of
Maryland negotiated with the dissenters being banished from Virginia
to come to Maryland. Matthew Howard appears to have been one of these.
He went to MD with Edward Lloyd to get land (see below), returned to
VA and died before making the final move with his children to MD. The
MD lands were never confirmed to him. (Maryland and Virginia
Colonials: Genealogies of Some Colonial Families, Sharon
Doliante,1991, Clearfield Company)
Received a grant / patent for 300 acres of land on 7/3/1650 in Anne
Arundel Co, MD, a tract of 650 acres called "Howard" was surveyed
7/3/1650 for Matthew Howard on the south side of Severn River. In the
1707 rent rolls, the comment was made that it could not be found that
this land was ever patented, but "ye Survey Supposed to be altered by
Howard into others."
The children went to Maryland and chose land near Matthew's grant and
the land they chose was pateneted to them. Ann and Elizabeth were of
age by then and they led their younger siblings into MD.

LifeNotes: she was apparently the subject of a slander case "Simon
