SOME WINGFIELD GENEALOGICAL NJTES Hanover County

contributed by WILLIAM LYNN WINGFIELD, M.D.

~Virginia Magazine of History and Biography (April 1952), Volume 60, Number 2, published an article by John Goodwin Herndon entitled "Thomas Wingfield (1670-1720) of York River, Virginia: His Ancestry and Some of his Virginia and Georgia Descendants." Mr Herndon stated in his article that Thomas, the emigrant, had two sons, of whom John had "an only known son" named Charles.

53.

The :following notes were made by the Reverend Spottswood Harvey Johnson, a Methodist minister, :from information given to him by his grandfather Joseph Spottswood Wingfield, grandson of Charles Wingfield, who was himself a son of John. These notes explain the Wingfield tamily in Hanover County, and should be considered an addition to Herndon's article. Herewith follows the text of the manuscript notes.

"Concerning John Wingfield and some of his descendants. In the early 18th century he lived in Hanover County on a :farm called ''Walnut Shade." The :farm extended from what is now the Court House--Ashland road on the north to and across North Mechumps Creek to the South Mechumps. It is about 2 miles from the Court House and :five miles from Ashland. (The Court House dates :from 1732; Ashland :from about 1850). The buildings stood back about 4 or 500 yards :from the road. The road that now runs so close to the dwelling is a short cut, started "after the war," when rail fences no longer stopped trespassers About 1860 or 1861 at the death of its owner Joe ''Horney" Wingfield, the place was sold at auction to a Fredericksburg man as a safe investment for those troublous times. The house was unoccupied :for several years during and after the war.

John3 McKinne made his will in 1753. Montford Eelbeck was one of the executors, and the will was witnessed by Montford and Mary Eelbeck. In 1757, Montford Eulbeck, Benjamin Hardy and Wm. Richmond were appointed to auc:iit the accounts of Barna Pope, guardian of the orphans of John McKinney.

Mary McKinne, wife of John, made her v.ji.ll in 1754, naming her da\lghter, Angeliny Pope; sons John and Barna­by; daus. Mary, Patience, and Martha McKinne.

In 1758, Barnaby4 McKinne, son of William3 McKinne, was guardian of Barnaby the younger, son of John McKinne.

Of John McKinne 1s two sons, John died in infancy and Barnaby left no children. This seems to be the end of the male of Ba'rnaby2 McKinne. Richard3, m. Mary Kinchen and died in 1755 without issue. His widow married Blake Baker. Robert3, m. Martha. On Nov. 10, 1748, he and wife Mar­tha sold land on which they were living to William Speight. In 1762 he was living in Granville County. Unless he left sons it seems no one can claim descent from Barnaby Mc­Kinne through the male line~-

COOKE OFBRIBTOL.ENGLANDANDSURRY

Richard Cooke, of St. Augustine's Parish, Bristol\ County Gloucester, England, married, firstly , and they baptised their children in St. Augustine's Parish Church, as follows:

I. John Cooke, 23 October 1577. II. Anne Cooke, 9 April 1580. III. William Cooke, 10 March 1582 (-83). IV. Thomas Cooke, 21April1585. V. Philip Cooke, 27 December 1589, (see later). He married, secondly, Catherine Rawley, widow, in St.

Augustine's Parish Church, 22 May 1596; and they baptised in the said Church:

VI. Richard Cooke (2nd), 26 March 1598. Philip Cooke, shown above, a mariner, married, firstly

Elizabeth , and they baptised children in'St. Augustine's Parish, as follows:

I. William Cooke, 25 March 1613. (See Deposition; 50 yrs, old in 1663--17th Cent. I. of W. ). (see later).

II. Anne Cook, 2 October 1614. He married, secondly, and baptised the following

children in the St. Augustine Parish Church: III. Lucie Cooke, 5 February 1626 (··27). IV. Mary Cooke, 22 August 1628. V. Martha Cooke, 13 January 1630 (-31).

1. William Cooke (lsl), shown above, married, firstly, in St. Augustine's Parish Church 4 June 1632, Mary Blackborne. His son, William Cooke (2nd), must have been born about 1633, but no ref­erence to the baptism of any children of this first marriage is re­corded in St. Augustine's Parish Church Registers, so he must have been born either en route to, or in, Virginia.

William Cooke married, Secondly, Anne ___ ~ as the St. Augustine Parish Record states: "51.h January 1636 (-27) was bap­tised Philip Cooke the son of Will yam Cooke and Ann his Wyf e". This marriage did not take place at St. Augustine Parish, however, as the registers have been searched from 1633 to 1637.and there is no reference to it.

William Cooke (lsl) married, thirdly, Mary before 10 April 1665. 1. Williaml Cooke(l613-1679) came to Virginia sometime before September 29, 1664, for as William Cooke, Sr., he and William Miles patented 1100 acres in Isle of Wight County on the second branch of the Blackwater, adjacent John Oliver and. Francis England. 2. William 2 Cooke, Jr •• also pa tented 3 60 acres in Isle of Wight February 3, 1664, at the head of a branch of the Blackwater.

On April 10, 1665, William Miles, William Cooke and Mary Cooke sold to John Person, Jr. 100 acres on the Blackwater ad-

On November 6, 1667, William Miles conveys to William Cooke his right to 450 acres acquired in patent of llOO acres on September, 29, 1664.

On August 9, 1669, "William Cooke and Mary my now wife", sold to Thomas Carter, Jr. 400 acres in Isle of Wight "part of a patent we lived on before moving to Surry." This deed indicates he had been married before which confirms the St. Augustine Parish Register in Bristol. ·

William Cooke died in Surry before November 10, 1679, for on that date Robert Lacy of Surry County and Mary his wife sell to George Loether 90 acres in U. P. granted to William Miles and William Cooke late of Surry deceased.

Mctry Cooke married secondly, Robert Lacy. She must have been young when she married William Cooke for she survived both husbands and lived to a good old age dying in 1716. Robert Lacey died in 1702 and gave his land to his wife Mary for life and at her death to his brother George Lacey. Trustees to carry out these provisions were Samuel Cornwell, Samuel Hargrove and John Weaver. (Bk. 5, p. 246).

Mary Lacey and her second husband were Quakers as shown by their wills. ·she died in 1716 and gives bequests to her husbands "couzens", nephews, in England. Also tobacco for repairing the meeting house in Surry. Other legatees were Mary Bailey, Sarah Griffin, Frances Parsons, Ann Edwards and Elizabeth Griffin, daughter of John Griffin. (Bk. 7, p. 37).

William Cooke, her first husband, may have had other child­ren by former wi~es. A Henry Cooke made his will in Isle of Wight in 1698, John Cooke in 1705-04, and Isaac Cooke in 1728. In Surry James Cooke in 1702 left his whole estate to his wife, Elizabeth. 2. William Cooke, Jr., and Joan his wife, on November 10, 1665, sold to Thomas Woodward 360 acres formerly patented by him in 1664. On April 9, 1665, William Cooke, having married Joane, one of the daughters of Hugh Roper of Burnham in Somerset, appoints "George Stoat of Bristol, England to receive of my wife's brother, Hugh Roper, fegacy left by her father."

William Cooke made several transactions in land in Isle of Wight (See 17 Cent. ). Because he had a son, William, he also made his will as William Cooke, Sr., May 17. 1698 and same was pro­bated August 9, 1698. He gave his three sons, John, William and Reuben, each a plantation. He gave his wife, Joan the plantation "I now live on" and at her death to his son, Thomas who was not 21. Witnesses, Peter Vasser, Peter Hays, James Atkinson.

His wife, Joan, married, sctcondly, John Carrell, a neighbor. ' She made her will as "Joan Carrell" in Isle of Wight in 1720. She gave legacies to Elizabeth Weaver and Joanna Burrah ? who may have been her daughters not mentioned in will of Wilfiam Cooke, as he mentions only real property given to sons. Any daughters may have received their portions before his death.

JONES

The coat-of-arms of this family, as given by Robert Jones, Attorney-general of North Carolina, who was a descendant, was: Ermine three Lions (Wm. and Mary Quarterly, 1st Series, 19, p. 291). These are the arms of the Jones family of Kent and London. The first positively known ancestor of the family was James Jones of Charles City and Prince George Cos . , who was born about 1640-42 and died at an advanced age in Prince George Co. in 1719. James Jones was first granted land in Charles City Co. March 1, 1663 (Nugent, p. 504), his land being very close to that of Rev. Richard Jones, who may have been his father. However, it seems slightly more probable that both these men were sons of David Jones, b. 1594, d. in Charles City Co . between 1665 and 1673, who was settled in Virginia as early as 1624 (cf. Hotten, p. 214; Nugent, pp 25, 167, 535; Order Book 1655-65, pp. 104, 343, 529; Order Book 1672 /4, p. 524) . The above references show that David Jones had a son John, who died in 1657 and left a son John; and two daughters Mary and Ann; but since his land was in the Parish of Weyanoke, close to that of James Jones and Rev. Richard Jones, it is not improbable that they were, also, his sons. The names David and Richard were both perpetuated in the family of James Jones.

James Jones is mentioned in the will of Christopher Lewis, dated Sept. 1, 1673, and probated Oct. 20, 1673, in Surry Co . , who left a legacy to Mary Jones, daughter of James Jones, and appointed Mr. Jones his executor (Surry D. & W. 1672-84, p. 35). As executor, he deeded away the land that had belonged to Mr. Lewis July 7, 1696 (D. & W. 1693-1709, p. 99). The above may indicate a relationship to Mr. Lewis, perhaps through James Jones' first wife, whose name is otherwise unknown. The wife, Sarah Jones, referred to in his will , was probably his second wife and not the mother of his children. James Jones was again granted land in Charles City Co., in Weyanoke Parish in 1683 and 1684, and he had a grant in Surry Co. in 1702 (Grants Bks., 7, p. 329, p. 488; 9, p. 497). The will of James Jones, dated April 6, 1719, and probated in Prince George Co. May 12, 1719, leaves his property to "my lov­ing wife and my wife's two sons"; daughter Mary Darden and her

son Charles Williams; daughters Elizabeth, Hannah, and Rebecca; granddaughter Elizabeth Glover; grandson Thomas Chappell; granddaughter Jane Cooke, daughter of John Cooke; and son James. (Prince George D. & W., 1713-28, p. 350). A letter from Sarah Jones April 20, 1719, states that she is satisfied with the provisions made for her in the will (id., p. 311). James Jones hand only the one son, James. Of his four daugh­ters the following is known.

I. Mary Jones was born prior to 1673, as she is men­tioned in the will of Christopher Lewis in that year. She married (1) John Williams, and had three sons, James, Charles anp John Williams. These three men, stated to be sons of John Williams, deceased, were granted land in Bristol Parish, Prince George Co., April 25, 1702 (Grant Bk. 9, p. 451). John Williams, the son, died Jan. 16, 1725 (Bristol Psh. Reg.). The mother, Mary (Jones) Williams married (2) Richard Darden (Prince ,George D. & W. 1713-28, p. 864). The son Charles Williams, mentioned in the will of James Jones, was also left land by his uncle-in-law, Thomas Chappell, in Surry Co. , which he and his wife Anne deeded away Feb. 12, 1721 (D & W. 1715-30, p. 416). The children of Charles and Ann Williams, as shown by the Bristol Parish Register, were: 1. Charles, b. May 26, 1722. 2. Sarah, b. Sept. 20, 1725 3. Lucy, b. May 6, 1727 4. John, b. Mar. 17, 1729 5. Mary, b. Aug. 5, 1731 6. John, b. May 14, 1734.

II. Elizabeth Jones m. (1) Thomas CHAPPELL (d. 1702 /3), by whom she had four sons, Robert, Thomas, James (b. 1694), and Samuel Chappell (b. 1696)(see Chappell Family). She married (2) in 1704, Thomas Taylor, by whom she had four children, John Taylor, Thomas Taylor, Elizabeth, m. John Chambliss, and Katherine m. Edward Holloway, Jr. (cf. Prince George D. & W. 1713-28, p. 861; pp. 1108, 1109; Surry U'& W. 1730-38, p. 628).

III. Hannah Jones, mentioned in James Jones' will merely as "my daughter Hannah", may have been the wife of John Cooke and the mother of Jane Cooke, the grand­daughter mentioned also in the will. John Cooke died in Surry Co. in 1715, his inventory handed in by William Cooke, being dated Jan. 18, 1715. (Surry D. & W. 1709-15, p. 255).

IV. Rebecca Jones married William Cooke. Thomas Chap­pell deeded to William Cooke, Jr., June 19, 1722, 100 acres of land in Surry Co. left to Chappell by the will of James Jones (D. & W. 1715-30, p. 402). On Sept. 20, 1727, William Cook and Rebecca, his wife., deeded to William Briggs for their sons James and Reuben Cook the land left Rebecca by her father James Jones, de­ceased (id. p. 753-4). William Cook's will, dated May 1, 1740, and probated Nov. 19, 1740, in Surry Co., mentions sons William, Reuben and James; daughters Elizabeth wife of Thomas Tomlinson, Rebecca wife of James Andrews, Sarah wife of Henry Mitchell, Mary wife of William BRIGGS, Susannah, wife of Miell Hill, Hannah wife of William Gary, and Amy wife of John Maclin. Of the sons, William Cook, Jr., m. Elizabeth ---~' and lived in Albemarle Parish, three of his children's births being recorded in the Parish Register, namely, Thomas, b. Dec. 4, 1741; Sarah, b. Oct. 6, 1744; and Henry b. Feb. 26, 1750. William Cook's will, dated Nov. 8, 1764, and probated in Sussex Co. Dec. 20, 1764, mentions his daughters Hannah Goodwyn and Eliza­beth Irby, sons William, James ~nd Thomas Cook, daugh­ter Sarah Cook, sons Foster and Henry Cook, and wife Elizabeth (Sussex W. B. "B", p. 17).

There was another William Cook with wife, Naomi, the births of whose children are recorded in the Albe­marle Parish Register as follows: Mer..curius, b. April 12, 1742; Lazarus, b. April 30, 1744; Samuel, b. April 30, 1744; Ephraim, b. July 30, 1751. He may have been a son of John Cooke. Reuben Cooke, son of William and Rebecca (Jones) Cook, m. Anne , and died in Sus­sex Co. in 1764. His will, dated June 23, 1764, and probated Aug. 19, 1764, mentions his wife Anne, daugh­ter Mary Briggs, son Richard Cook, daughters Sarah and Elizabeth Cook, son Henry, and daughter Amy. The Albemarle Parish Register shows the following children of Reuben and Anne Cook: Joseph ( ?), b. Nov. 21, 1741; Richard, b. Aug. 1, 1744; Sarah, b. June 24, 1746; Elizabeth, b. June 11, 1748, Henry, b. Aug. 22, 1750. Another Reuben Cook, possibly a son of the above who predeceased his father, died in Sussex Co. in 1760, his will, which was probated Dec. 19, 1760, mentioning his wife, Mary, children William, John and Sarah, and brother John Reeks. The children were born as follows: William b. Dec. 3, 1755; John, b. Jan. 12, 1758; Sarah, b. 1760, christened April 6, 1760.

CHAPTER ONE

WILLIAM COOK(E) (1615-1679)

Immigrant to America Landed Proprietor of Virginia

and

JOHN PERSON(S) (circa 1630-1707)

Immigrant to America Planter of Virginia

WLUAM CooKE was born in England in 1615 in the twelfth year of the reign of James I. On July 4, 1635, he sailed from London on the Trans­port, and the record of his passage states he was twenty years old and a member of the Church of England.1 The Virginia colony was now twenty-eight years old, had about eight thousand inhabitants, and was well established. At this time, the Virginia tobacco was bringing high prices on the European market, so that the planters made it their principal crop.

William Cook ( e) settled in Isle of Wight County, where he owned lands on the Blackwater River, and married (probably about the year 1638) Mary (Miles?). If we make an effort to visualize the life of William and Mary Cook on their tobacco plantation during this period, a picture of the Virginia of 1642 given by one historian2 may be of interest:

The wives and daughters of the well-to-do planters wore dresses of silk and satin, trimmed with lace imported from England and of the latest London styles . . . . Food was abundant and in great variety. Beef, pork and mutton were at hand from the plantation stock. Venison called only for a gun. Wild geese, ducks and turkeys crowded the .swampland. The rivers were full of fish of many kinds. Sugar, spices and other delicacies came in with every ship, as did also wines, brandy and rum.

1

Consternation, however, briefly interrupted this abundant life in April, . 1644, when Opechancanough, Chief of the Powhatan Confederacy, plotted the massa­cre of every white in Virginia. In plan, the massacre was similar to that which he had carried out in 1622, when between three hundred and four hundred colonists were killed. The Indians became unduly friendly with the colonists over a long period of time, so that there would be no suspicion of their plot. Then, simultaneously they made their attack along a hundred-mile front. The Indians were repulsed, but about four hundred colonists had been slain.

Life, however, returned to normal, and became more peaceful than that in England, where civil war was raging between Puritan and royalist.

John Person, who was born about 1630, sailed from England to Virginia as early as 1648,8 and settled in Isle of Wight County. This was the year before the beheading of Charles I, and it was not possible for a colonist to be indifferent to the struggle in England.

John Person's plantation was on the Blackwater River, and he was prob­ably a neighbor of William and Mary Cook, whose daughter Frances he married about the year 1658. She was born about 1640. John and Frances (Cook) Person were the parents of only one child, John Person, Jr., who was born about 1660, the . year when the monarchy was restored in England.

In 1651 the colonists were subjected to the Navigation Acts, and in 1660 and 1663 these Acts were renewed and extended to give British manufacturers a sales monopoly. As a result, in 1664 the price of tobacco, the principal crop of the colon­ists, sank to a new low level.

For having paid the passage of twenty-two persons from England to the Virginia colony, William Cook, Sr., received (jointly with William Miles) a patent of 1, 100 acres of land "on the second branch of the Blackwater River at the upper corner of John Oliver's land and running down to Mr. England's." The patent was granted on September 29, 1664, during the reign of Charles II.'

On April 10, 1665, a part of this land was presented through a deed of gift by William and Mary Cook (jointly with William Miles) to John Person, Jr., at that time about five years old. The stipulation was made that the property was to remairi in the possession of John Person, Jr.'s parents, John Person the elder and his wife Frances, "until ye said John Person their sonne be of full age," The land was on the Blackwater River adjoining that of John Oliver.11

On June 17, 1667, William Cook, Sr., secured 850 additional acres of land by purchasing the rights of four persons who had paid the passage of seventeen colonists. 6

. On November 6, 1667, William Miles conveyed 450 acres of land to Wil-liam Cook.1

RICKS.

The Ricks family was a prominent Quaker family of Isle of Wight. A friend and near neighbor of the writer in his home town of Wilmette, Illinois, is Mr. Glen A. Ricks, a descendant of this family. Our families were members of the Society of Friends in Isle of Wight nearly 300 years ago. ·

The Ricks family probably originated in Norfolk County, England, as that is where most of the early wills of . the family are found.

Isaac Ricks was the first of the family in Virginia. He was clerk at the Friends meetings and died January 2, 1723, in his eighty-fifth year. His wife Kathereen died October, 1717. Their children were

no1s. SMITH OF SMITHFIELD.

Seated along the shores of the Blackwater in Essex, England, near the Wisemans of Rivenhall, who first settled Isle of Wight, and telated to them, was the Smith family of Blffkemore and the Jennings family of Dun­mow. It seems that several members of these two fami­lies later settled in Virginia. Among them was Colonel Arthur Smith, Burgess of Isle of Wight and his brother­in-law Thomas Jennings.

The first of the Smiths at Blakemore was John Smith, second son of Thomas Smith of Rivenhall. • • John Smith was one of the auditors of King Henry VIII and that monarch granted him the manor and site of the Priory of Blackmore or Blakemore in 1540.1 He married Doro­thy, daughter of Trymmell of Worcester who was also

a king's auditor. John Smith did not live long to enjoy his lands at

Blackmore for he made his will the 10th day of May, 1544, and died soon thereafter. His will is a remarkable docu­ment and is shown fully in the Essex Arch. Society Trans­actions (Vol. III, p·. 56) as a specimen of his times. He bequeathed his eldest son Thomas" all my harness, weap­ons and artillery that is in my· armory or gallery at Smythe 's Hall, Blackmore.''

** A long pedigree of the Smiths of Rivenhall is shown in the Visitations of Essex, but J. Horace Round, the noted British Antiquarian, has demolished this pedigree in . an article entitled, "The Carrington Im­posture'' in his book, ''Pedigree and Peerage,'' Volume II.

MACQUENNEY - MCKENNIE

Michael Macquenney was the first of his name in Virginia. The earliest records found of him is that of his will dated .April 15, 1686 in which he designates himself as "Michael Makquenney of the Western Branch in Isle of Wight county, planter". He be­queathed to wife Elizabeth "plantation I now live upon" during her life then to his young son" BARNABY. He gave to eldest son JOHN the rest of his land on the northwest side of the Forest Spring Branch provided he settle .upon it. Probated Aug. 9, 1686 by Robert Cooper, Jeremiah Exum, John Moore (D. B. 2, p. 254) Other records pertaining to Michael were evidently lost in the burning of Nansemond records.

Elizabeth Mackquenney married secondly Thomas Reeves for on February 10, 1701, Thomas Reeves aged about 62 years deposed that Barnaby Mackquenney1s land escheated and was entered upon by his brother John. Elizabeth Reeves, aged 60, also testified to the same. (D. B. 1-1688-1704, p. 339-40) Barna­by Mackquenney was not of age at the time his brother entered the escheat. John Mackenney was granted a patent for 450 acres which lay in Nansemond Oct. 20, 1697. (BK 9, p 98)

John2 MacKenney, the elder, died about 1710 leaving a son Michael M3.cKenney who with his wife Rose on April 1710 sold to Richard Exum of Nansemond 200 acres of the said 450 acres of the land granted my father John MacKenney adjoining Jeremiah Exum (Bk 1704-1715 -p 140). (See later)

Barnaby2 Macquenney on Sept. 10, 1703 and M:i.ry his wife sold to Richard Exum of Isle of Wight all of the land given by my father Michael Mackquenney's will, being part of an escheat Pat­ent granted to his brother John who died before he could execute a deed (I of W D. B. I-340).

Barnaby McKennie received grants in Isle of Wight for 5648 acres for the transportation of 109 persons between 1702 and 1714 which he and his wife so~~ l.in 55 deeds executed before they moved to North Carolina. HiS'>Vife Mary was the widow of Jacob Ricks and the daughter of Judge Jeremiah and Ann Exum. (17 W 60) He moved to what is now Edgecombe county about 1721 set­tling near Caledonia. He was a Justice of Peace, Judge of the General Court 1727, and member of the Assembly 1735 (Id). His will was dated Aug_. 31, 1737.

William3 McKinnie died 1739 before his father Barnaby2. In a deed-codicil to his will (Halifax Deed Bk. 1, pp 312-313) Barnaby2 McKinnie said: 11 1, Barnaby McKinnie of Edgecombe county by my will bearing date of the 30th day of August (1739) did bequeath unto PlY son William McKin­nie and the heirs of his body lawfully begotten and to their heirs forever a tract of land containing two hundred acres being the plantation whereon my son William then lived who having since departed this life therefor to prevent any ob­jection that may be urged against the descent of the said land as by the bequest in my said will .intended know that I, Barnaby McKinnie of Edgecombe County in the province of North Carolina, Esqr. out of natural love and affection which I have and do bear to my grandson Barnaby McKin­nie, son and heir-at-law of my son William McKinnie deed and for and in consideration of the sum of five shillings to me in hand paid, do by these presents rive grant alien en­force and confirm to him the said land' .

Barnaby, only son of William McKinnie, died unmar­ried in 1761. His will is dated Nov. 9, 1761. Following the preamble, it says "also for preventing Dispute which prob­ably might arise concerning the Distribution of such Estate as it hath pleased God to bestow upon me do hereby****** Give and Bequeath the tract of land and plantation whereon I n~w Live to my Nephew William Coupland and 1 also Give and Bequeath to sd William Coupland all my Negro Slaves (Segar and Sarah excepted) also all my other Estate of Ev­ery Kind Soever to the sd William****** But if sd William should die before he arrives to Lawful Age then****to his Brother Thomas Cou)>land and in case that he die before he arrives to Lawful age then the sd Estate To be Divided Be­tween the Sisters, Daughters of Joseph Coupland****"· The two slaves undisposed of were to be sold and the pro­ceeds of sale to be used to pay his debts. Nicholas Long and Joel Lane, executors. Witnesses: Sam11 Edwards, John Moore, Thomas Hall (Halifax Will Bk. 1, p. 47)

(Bk. 3, p 28: Will of William Coupland. Dau. Mary Coupland; sister Charlotte Coupland; god-son Mc'Kinne Long. Exrs. Nicholas Long of N.C. and Wilkinson Godwin of Va. Wit.: Chas Pasteur, I. Tillery, C. Saunders. Jan. 4, 1782)

William McKinnie had two children: Barnaby, and Mourning who married Joseph Coupland. Barnaby d. unmar. John3, d. 1739. John3 was probably one of the younger sons of Barnaby2 McKinne. He married before Dec. 30, 1736, when William Parrish's estate was divided between Mary McKinnie, his wife, and Sarah? (Angelina) Parish, daugh­ter of William Parrish. Angelina Parrish married Barnaby Pope, son of John and Mourning McKinne Pope. John and Mary McKinne had five children: 1. Barnaby, born av. 1738-39. He was of age in 1760 when

he made a deed to a tract of land inherited from his fa­ther. In that deed he called himself "Barnaby McKinne,

the Younger". Part of the land was granted to Emanuel Rogers, deed., and from him descended to his daughters, Elizabeth and Mary, and by them together with their hus­bands, John Hubbard and Montford Eelbeck, gentlemen, conveyed by deed 1742.

Barnaby, the younger, made his will March 15,1861; probated June Court 1761; Wife Anne; said wife's son, Isaac Ricks, and her daughter, Mary Ricks; sister Mar­tha McKinne; sister Patience McKinne. Executors wife and Robert Ricks. (Halifax Will Bk. 1, p 31) .

After death of Barnaby McKinne, Ann, his wife, m:irried Seth Prior. 1762- Nicholas Long and wife, Mary and others sued Robert Ricks, Seth Prior and his wife, executors of Barnaby McKinne. (Col. Records of N. C., v. 6, p 759)

2. Mary McKinne married Nicholas Long before 1762. She was not mentioned in the will of her brother, Barnaby.

3. Patience McKinne married John Geddy (Gaddy) before 1767, when the land of her deceased brother, Barnaby, was divided among his three sisters.

4. Martha McKinne was still a minor in 1767, when she re­ceived through her guardian, Joseph Montfort, one-third of the land of her deceased brother, Barnaby (Division Tripartite, Halifax Bk. 10, p. 28). She married Charles Pasteur.

5. John McKinne, born after his father's death. He evi­dently died very young as he is not mentioned in any of the numerous guardianship proceedings, nor in his brother's will and in the division of his brother's lands. In 1751, his father, John McKinne of Edgecombe Co., gave negroes to his children, Barnaby, Mary, Patience, and Martha. (Halifax Bk. 4, p. 152)

John3 McKinne made his will in 1753. Montford Eelbeck was one of the executors, and the will was witnessed by Montford and Mary Eelbeck. In 1 757, Montford Eulbeck, Benjamin Hardy and Wm. Richmond were appointed to audit the accounts of Barna Pope, guardian of the orphans of John McKinney.

Mary McKinne, wife of John, made her will in 1754, naming her 'daughter, Angeliny Pope; sons John and Barna­by; daus. Mary, Patience, and Martha McKinne.

In 1758, Barnaby4 McKinne, son of William3 McKinne, was guardian of Barnaby the younger, son of John McKinne.

Of John McKinne's two sons, John died in infancy and Barnaby left no children. This seems to be the end of the male of Ba'rnaby2 McKinne. • Richard3, m. Mary Kinchen a·nd died in 1755 without issue. His widow married Blake Baker. · Robert3, m. Martha. On Nov. 10, 1748, he and wife Mar­tha sold land on which they were living to William Speight. In 1762 he was living in Granville County. Unless he left sons it seems no one can claim descent from Barnaby Mc­Kinne through the male line.

JOHN MACKQUINNEY

ELDER SON OF MICHAEL AND ELIZABETH MACQUINNEY

by Miss Ray Barnett

John Mackquinney was born between 1660 and 1665. He was dead before 1701 when Elizabeth and Thomas Reeves made affi­davits concerning his redemption of his brother Barnaby's land. He was a resident of Nansemond Co., Va., as shown by the es­cheat patent granted to him in 1697. The name of his wife is un­known. That they were the parents of more than one child is proved by the bond for title from Barnaby Mackquinney to Rich­ard Exum in 1703. I. Michael Mackquinney, probably the oldest son, was born

about 1687; married Rose--------. They were probabl;' residents of Nansemond Co. Their deed, 1710, to Richard Exum says "in Isle of Wight", not "of Isle of Wight." Noth­ing is known of their children, but some of the unidentified McKinnes of N.C. may be descendants of Michael and Rose.

II. Benjamin McKinnie, was living in Edgecombe Co. , N. C. , 1720/1, as evidenced by deed from Nath 11 Holley and wife conveying 50 acres southside of Morattuck River and south of Michael's Meadows, March 16, 1720/1. Benjamin was of age in 17·20/l, and thus was born by 1699, or perhaps several years earlier.

In 1734, Benjamin McKinnie (no doubt son of above Benjamin) "for divers good causes me hereunto moving and in consideration of the sum of .50 pounds paid by my uncle Barnaby McKinnie 50 acres the aforesaid parcel of land being a part of a survey of .l,p.nd made for William Brown and by him lapsed and since is become due to the afore -said Barnaby McKinnie by virtue of a lapsed patent granted for the whold survey bearing date of 30th of July, 1720, which land was formerly sold by William Brown to Nathaniel Holly to Benjamin McKinnie. Wit.: Isaac Ricks, George Roberson (Edgecombe Co. Bk. 1, p. 32).

In 1743/ 4 Benjamin McKinnie executed a deed convey-

234

ing this same 50 acres to Richard McKinnie "for good causes*** land, sold by Benjamin McKinnie to Col. Barna­by McKinne bearing date 1734 but since it was judged that the said Benjamin McKinne was not of age to dispose of the said lands" this deed is to confirm the right of sale of this land to Richard McKinne being part of William Brown's lapsed patent. (Halifax Bk. 5, p. 353)

Col. Barnaby McKinne, called "my uncle Barnaby Mc­Kinne" in the deed, was the great-uncle of young Benjamin.

In 1741, Benjamin McKinnie received a grant of 740 acres, Edgecombe Co. (Col. Recs. N. C. Bk. 4, p. 592)

In 1741, Benjamin McKinnie sold to William Kinchen 740 acres in Edgecombe Co., 100 acres of old patent lands purchased of John McKinnie (Halifax Bk. 1, p. 239), and 640 acres to Kanakouary Swamp to Stevens' line and down the swamp to Stevens' corner to red oak in William For­esters' line, the 640 acres granted by patent to Benjamin McKinnie April 2, 1741 (See description of land given by John McKinnie to his cousins William and Mary Brown, and the gift to George Short).

In 1 753, Benjamin McKinney was living in Prince Frederick Winyaw Parish, S. C., where his son, Michael, 2 years old, and daughter, Christian, 7 months old, were baptized.

III. John McKenney. There can be little doubt that he was the son of John and grandson of Michael Mackquinney. He was married and the father of two children, John and Rachel, in 1715- thus born about 1690.

Will of Samuel Payne late of North Carolina***** to loving friend, John McKenney, 22 bbls. of Pitch now in Nansemond, also 22 bbls. pitch lying and to be delivered at the Northwest landing; to John McKenney, son of John, one young horse; to Rachel, daughter of John McKenny, pewter basin to be delivered by my executors in North Carolina; to James and John Caroon 640 acres of land ly­ing by Indian Island and all remainder of estate. James \ and John Caroon executors. Wit.: Thomas Crocker, Kath­erine Jones, James Tamrath. Jan. 7, 1715; Apr. 10, i 716. Proven in Cora tuck Pree.

It is probable that the John McKenny mentioned in above will was the John McKinnie of early records of Ber­tie and Edgecombe Precincts, and that these records did n not refer to John, son of Col. Barnaby McKinne. In 1723/ 25 grant to Barnabas McKinne Jr., 180 acres in Bertie Precinct on South side Morratuck River beginning at a gum in John McKinne 1 s corner. The foregoing is the first record of a grant to Barnaby Jr., that I have found. It is generally accepted that Barnaby Jr. was the oldest son of Col. Barna by, and that John was probably one of the young­est. If that be true, then John was too young to have r .. -ceived a grant in 1723 or 1725. Also, in a number of in­stances John, son of Col. Barnaby McKinne, is referred to as "John McKinne Jr".

On January 29, 1741/2, Mary McKinnie, probably wife of William McKinnie 1of Nansemond who held 200 acres in Nansemond in 1704 and who predeceased her, of Edge­combe Co., N. C., made a deed of gift to her three sons: f/Iatthew, William, and Michael, all under 18 years of age. Witnesses were John Crowell and Joseph Lane, indicating a close association between Mary and the family of Barna­by Sr. Mary's husband is unknown, although some McKinne descendants claim he was William, son of Barnaby Sr. North Carolina wills and deeds refute this claim. William McKinne Sr. of Wayne County, N. C. was the son of Mary McKinnie of the above deed of gift.

PACE FAMILY IN ENGLAND By TIMOTHY FIELD BEARD, F.A.S.G.

Marriage Register of St. Dunstan's. Stepney, Co. Middlesex, Eng .• p. 70

RICHARD PACE, "Carpenter" was of Wappi ng, 5 Oct. 1608 when he married ISABELL SMYTH [SMITH] of St. Dunstan's, Stepney, Co. Mi dd 1 es ex, Eng 1 and.

COMMENT by Timothy Fie 1 d Beard: In the 'Pace Socie.t.y of_ Ame11.-i..ca 8u.U .. e.t.i..n #1 J pub 1 i shed Sept. 1970, there appeared an article dealing with the POSSIBLE ancestry and origin of Richard Pace (ca. 1587-1627/18) of Va. This POSSIBLE ancestry begins with two brothers from Hampshire born in the late 15th century. Richard Pace (1483-1536) was a priest. He became Secretary to Cardi na 1 Woolsey; Ambassador from England to Switzerland, France and Germany; Secretary to King Henry VIII, and Dean of St. Paul's, London, before he fe 11 into disfavor in the late 1520's. A biography entitled 7<.-i..cha11.d 'Pace, A Tudo11. 0-i..pJ..omaJ..LJ.t. by Jervis Wegg, published in London in 1932, gives a good account of his 1 i fe. His brother John Pace is mentioned in the book. He was a customer at Lynn, Norf o 1 k, in 1522, and he is thought to have later been living in Stepney, London, where his brother Richard had a manor. A John Pace, presumably his son, was of Stepney, Middlesex when he was admitted to King's College, Cambridge at the age of 17 in 1539. He later became Jester of the Duke of Norfolk ~nd later Court Jester to Queen Elizabeth. It is thought that a Will of a John Pace of Boxford, Suffolk, who died in 1552 is the Wi 11 of John Pace, the brother of Richard Pace. He mentions sons, John, Robert and Anthony Pace and a "pyle of silver" to a Thomas Waters of Lynn in recompense for certain debts. John Pace the Jester is stated to have died in 1590, but no

mention is made of a search for his Wi 11 or ad­mi ni strati on. Next in the POSS IBLE 1 i ne is a Richard Pace who in 1591 held a close called "Wellfield" in West Ham, cross the River Lea from Stepney. It is THOUGHT that he might have been a grandson of John Pace, the Jester, and the father of Richard Pace, the Virginia settler.

THERE ARE TOO MANY QUESTIONS LEFT UNANSWERED AND TOO MANY SOURCES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN CONSULTED TO MAKE THIS PEDIGREE AUTHENTIC.

However, the identification of Richard Pace of Wapping Wall, Carpenter, who married Isabell Smyth at St. Dunstan's, Stepney, on 5 Oct. 1608, with the Virginia settler, Richard Pace, seems almost positive. The question of whether a car­penter could become the owner of "Paces Paines", a 400 acre holding in Virginia is easily an­swered. London carpenters were prosperous. Land in Virginia was cheap. Each headright was worth 50 acres which meant that a husband and wife could get 100 acres just for bringing themselves to the New Wor 1 d. 400 acres was not a great holding. An investigation of the ancestry of many a Virginia settler whose descendants were among the local gentry would show similar ori­gins. A good case is made in this Bulletin for the identification of Richard Pace, but I think that the author went off the deep end in suspect­ing that Isabell (variantly Izabella, Isabella, etc.) Smyth (Smith) was a relative of John Smith of Nibley in Gloucestershire. The Smiths of Nibley were minor Gloucestershire gentry looking upward, and it is doubtful that they would have 1 et a daughter cast her 1 ot with a Wappi ng Wall carpenter.

It would be much better to search the local London wills for the ancestors of Isabella Smith and Richard Pace than dream of illustrious ances­tors.

172 I SOUTHERN COLONIAL FAMILIES, v. 2

The tie in of William Perry, mariner, of Poplar (not far from Wapping), who married Elizabeth Withers, at St. Dunstan's, Stepney, on 30 Nov. 1618, with the Pace's neighbor, William Perry, who married the widow, Izabella Pace, works well on the social, economic and personal levels.

fRMMENT: To the above sketch of RICHARD 13 PACE 1 can also be added the information that he was of Wapping and married 5 Oct. 1608 ISA­BELL SMYTH, of St. Dunstan's, Co. of Middlesex, Eng. (See full citation later.). This additional information wi 11 appear in a new edition of 'PWlM. and 'Pe/l,Jon , now being prepared.

JESTER and HIDEN, Adven;tu;ieA--1 of_ 'PWL--1e and 'PVL­,1on, p. 258

This excellent compendium recites that RICHARD l3 PACE (l) and his wife were in Va. by or before 1616 as the assignment of dividends of 100 acres of land TO EACH so indicates ... after the massacre [22 Mar. 1622] "R I CHARD PACE repaired to James­towne" where he lived for six or eight months before addressing a petition to GEORGE WYATT and the Council which was sent between Oct. 1622 and Jan. 1622 / 23." In this petition he requested permission to return to his plantation "on t'other side of ye water [where] he hath bestowed great cost and charges upon building there and clearing ground, but at length was enforced to leave ye same by ye savage cruelty of Indians . . . he now purposes to fortify and strengthen the pl ace with a good company of able men and desires to inhabit there again." [Ref.: Records of the Va. Company of London, 1607-1622, 3: 682, by SUSAN MYRA KINGSBURY.] JESTER and HIDEN al so state that RICHARD 13 PACE (l) was still living in 1625 and in addition to his own plantation, was overseer for CAPT. WILLIAM POWELL'S. He evident­ly died after 1625 and BEFORE 21 Jan. 1627 [1628 N.S.] when his widow, ISABELLA, WIFE OF WI LLIAM PERR Y, obtained title to 100 acres of land .... [Ref.: Minutes of the Council and the General Court of Va., by H.R. McILWAINE (1924), p. 159.]

COMMENT: Both PACE and his plantation are mentioned in the historical accounts of this

Indian uprising and massacre. As reported" ... if God had not put into the heart of an Indian named CHANCO to disc 1 ose it the slaughter could have been even worse." This Indian, CHANCO, be-1 onged to CAPT. WI LL IAM PERRY. The night before the Indian attack, CHJl.NCO was at PACE'S and in the night told PACE of the impending attack for "he had used [i.e., treated] him as a sonne." Whereupon, PACE secured his own house and crossed the river to Jamestowne and warned the Governor who then spread the word as qui ck ly as possible and thereby saved many lives in the Jamestowne area. CHANCO, the Christi an convert, has become a Virginia hero.

COMMENT: This booklet was prepared in 1957 for the Va. 350th Anniversary Celebration, Wil­liamsburg, Va., by W. STITT ROBINSON, JR., who was an Associate Professor of Hi story, Univ. of Kan .... Some of the rules of the London Co. of Va. concerning its land policy are given below:

One additional document of 1618 was very significant because it outlined a uniform land policy. Identified by the term 'The Greate Charter,' it is listed in the records of the London Company as 'Instructions to Governor Yeardly' under the date November 18, 1618.

This 'Charter' outlined plans for distribution of land dividend and contained provisions for the head­right system which became a basic feature of the colony's land policy. One hundred acres were promised as a first dividend to all adventurers for each paid-up share of stock at £12 10s . , another 100 acres as a second dividend when the first had been settled ['sufficiently peopled']. 'ANCIENT PLANTERS,' that is, those who had come to the colony prior to the departure of SIR THOMAS DALE in 1616, were to receive similar grants if they had come to the colony at their own expense. These fore-

178 I SOUTHERN COLONIAL FAMILIES, v. 2

going grants were to be free of quitrent. 'ANCIENT PLANTERS' who came to the colony at the Company's expense would receive the same amount of land AFTER A SEVEN YEAR TERM OF SERVICE but would be required to pay a quit-rent of two shillings for every 100 acres.

For settlers arriving after the de­parture of DALE in 1616 or those migrating during the seven year peri­od, following Midsummer Day of 1618, separate regulations applied. If transported at Company expense, the colonist was to serve as a half-share tenant [50 acres] for seven years with no promise of a land grant .... If at his own expense, he was to receive as a headri ght, 50 acres as a dividend ....

COMMENT: Others have given this record as evidence that HENRY PERRY had married ELIZABETH, the daughter of GEORGE MENEFIE by or before this date ( 1642). This has to be a mi si nterpre­tati on of the true facts which are: (l) ELIZA­BETH was st i 11 under age and unmarried and re­ferred to as "my daughter, ELIZABETH MENEFIE [NOT PERRY]" IN HIS WILL DATED 1645, (2) HENRY PERRY was designated in this same Will as "MY SON-IN­LAW" which necessarily had to signify "STEP-SON" and therefore that his mother was the wife (or had been) of GEORGE MENEFIE, (3) the above record very clearly states the 1,500 acres from MENEFIE was "BY ASSIGNMENT" (i.e., BY SALE) and not "BY GIFT" (See later.).

GEORGE 12 PACE ' 2l

(Second generation in America)

COMMENT: By unimpeachable evidence, shown earlier, GEORGE 12 PACE, (2) HEIR-APPARENT OF RICH­ARD 13 PACE, ( 1 l DECEASED was proven as his son 1 Sept. 1628. In the same record, his mother, IZA­BELLA, had re-married to CAPT. WILLIAM PERRY ; both parents were "Ancient Planters" (i.e., in Va. before 1616); and RICHARD (!) and IZABELLA were married 5 Oct. 1608 at St. Dunstan's Church, Stepney, Co. Middlesex, England.

In examining the varied accounts of these first two generations in Va. we notice that there was much confusion among the PACE family gene­alogists and they became misled, probably by the assumptions and speculations which sadly befogged the matter ....

The 'Pace Society of_ Amel/..i_ca Bulletm, 13: 7,

182 I SOUTHERN COLONIAL FAMILIES, v. 2

(Sept. 1970), notes that doubt of the positive identification of RICHARD (!) PACE, in Va. before 1616 and RICHARD PACE, CARPENTER, "of Wapping" in Eng. and his marriage 5 Oct. 1608 to ISABELL SMYTH might be caused by the date ( 1 Sept. 1628) of the patent to GEORGE,(2) his son. The article pointed to the fact that GEORGE must, therefore, have been of full legal age (21 years), and would by this record have been born 1607 or earlier, and that this was the year before the marriage. The editor of this article very alertly directed attention to the fact that GEORGE PACE was desig­nated "heir apparent" and not "heir" and this distinction denoted that he was still underage. Seemingly this interpretation of the record (which this writer deems to be correct) did not fully convince or satisfy others. This forced us to resort to The Oxf-011.d !Jni.ve11.,ja.i.. Di.cliona11.y (1955), p. 885 which defines "heir apparent" as "the heir whose right is indefeasible, PROVIDED HE OUTLIVES HIS ANCESTOR." On p. 84 of this same source the term "apparent heir" is defined as "manifest, evident, applied to one who will un­doubtedly inherit IF HE SURVIVES THE PRESENT POS-

SESSOR."

By the 1628 record, GEORGE PACE very clearly survived his father and so, in his specific case, "heir apparent" had a different definition. The law of primogeniture, in which the eldest born son inherited a 11 his father's property on at­taining his majority, was in full effect and would be for another century and a half in Va. His mother, the only other possible residuary heir, would have lost or relinquished any pos­sible "life interest'1 she may have had when she re-married to CAPT. WILLIAM PERRY. By a process of elimination, there could not possibly have been any other reason for the term "heir appar­ent" than that he was not yet of full legal age, and the desire or necessity for his mother and

T: . APESTRY: Before we become completely absorbed in t he hi stori cal and genea lo­

gi cal details of the PACE [PASE, PAISE, PAYCE, etc.] family, we think it important to realize that in gathering evidence for any family pedigree there is usually a feast or a famine.

163

In this present undertaking we are blessed with a great wealth of material.

An enormous amount of time and effort has been expended by many dedicated individuals who are descendants of RICHARD l3 PACE (l) in searching for records to assist in extending the pedigree in both the ascendant and descendant phases. Not ab 1 e are the 1 ate MISS MAUD Mc LURE KELLY who first documented this lineage in a scholarly fashion, and many members of the very fine PACE SOCIETY OF AMERICA. In our effort to separate the wheat from the chaff and in sifting through this immense amount of materi a 1 we propose to use only such data which can be classified as having specific value to the genealogical structure.

VAL D. GREENWOOD in his classic 'R.eJea -'lche/L1

J t;uide to llme//.ican t;enealo91j, 1973, p. 44 advises, "During the research for your ancestor it wi 11 be to your advantage if you read and abstract all information relating to all persons of the surname(s) of interest in the locality of inter­est." In an analysis of family histories and genea 1 ogi es in t;enealog.i__ca./.. 'R.e.Jea//.ch S:tanda//.d.J, p. 357, DERECK HARLAND asserts, "Those few print­ed genealogies that actually reproduce al 1 the records used in their compilation present no problem of evaluation."

The cost of COMPLETELY documenting a printed genealogy is prohibitive. Mere references to vi ta 1 records and to Wi 11 s and Deeds prove not h­i ng except that the compi 1 er has consu 1 ted them and it is entirely possible that he made an in­correct deduction from the cited reference. We maintain that references ONLY to vi ta l records or primary sources DO NOT PROVE EVIDENCE. There needs to be a ful 1 exemp 1 ifi ed copy or a very careful abstract -- one or the other.

164 I SOUTHERN COLONIAL FAMILIES, v. 2

We must be a 1 so aware of family accounts published by incapable genealogists, built upon little other than speculations and "possible" relationships. No statement can be considered true mere 1 y because it has appeared in print. In this connection I 1 i ke to quote the Dean of Genealogists, DONALD L. JACOBUS, who expressed what he considers the favorite proverb of the genealogical moron, "It must be true, I seen it in print."

In preparing for this present compi 1 ati on we have reviewed several family studies which have recent 1 y appeared on the scene. As a re­sult, we wish to emphasize our desire to posi­tively avoid all such devices used by these family historians to cover their ineptness and failure to properly research, such as: "It is thought, it appears, it is be 1 i eved by some, we assume, it is probable, it is possible, etc." Then they resume their account as if the matter is firmly proven with p/L-Una /_aci..e evidence. Re­sorts to such terms as "From re 1iab1 e sources, it is family tradition, etc." should be regarded as dangerous. Modern research insists that it is the responsibility of the genealogist to pro­vide accurate, verif i ab 1 e, documented proof from primary sources and original records. Where such are no longer extant or available, a notation of the fact should be made forthwith and if pos­sible a hypothesis based on logic and reason at­tempted. This wi 11 at 1 east denote that a prob-1 em exists and wherein the weakness lies. It may then be possible for others, sooner or later, to concentrate on this detail and eventually so 1 ve it. There ca~not be a better ex amp 1 e of the solution to the mystery ·of the maiden name of the wife of RICHARD1 3PACE,(1llisted as IZABELLA in the author at at i ve lldventwu!A-1 o/_ 'PU/l-1e and 'Pe/L-1on, 1964 by JESTER and HIDEN.

ni shed this writer a record from the Marriage Register of St. Dunstan's, Stepney, Co. of Mid­dl esex, Eng., p. 70, showing that RICHAR D PACE, Carpenter of Wapping, on 5 Oct. 1608, married ISABELL SMYTH [SMITH] of Stepney, Co. of Middle­sex, Eng.

We contemplate, in this compilation, basing and reconstructing the PACE family pedigree primarily with: ( l) Ori gi na l records, obtained by competent genealogists, with full citations to sources; (2) References to such well document­ed accounts as found in JESTER and HIDEN' s -J·dven­tUAv1..-:; of_ 'PUA,1e and rp(Vl._,1on and NUGENT'S Cc i ·c: Ue.11..,1 and 'P,i._,oneV/_..1 ; (3) Facsimile copies of fam il y Bi­bles and letters of the period; and (4) The forty four 8u..f_).etm,1 (to June 1978) published by the PACE SOCIETY OF AMERICA, INC. This is a f amily organization of high repute which has cont ri buted a great deal to the history and drama of this early Virginia family. We note in 8uL : ... e ::. ~.'1 13, September 1970, that the PACE SOCIETY OF AMERICA, I NC., by systematic research, had al ready made the dilcovery of the marriage record of RiCHAR~ 3

PACE ( 1 to ISABELLA SMYTH in St. Dunstan's Mar­riage Register and had devoted the enti re issue #13 to its research in England with this marr iage record as the starting point. We believe that all readers interested in this particu lar phase of the search wi 11 enjoy this account and find it not only exciting but stimulating to even demanding experts.

Finally, we realize that the dedic ated family historian and genealogist stands in con­stant need of authoratat i ve answers an d a con­venient guide for references. To satis fy this formidable and never sated American appetite for more and more knowledge of one's ancestors, the emphasis is now on data quality. :n other words, something more than a corking tale of high adventure in far-off times and places. This

166 I SOUTHERN COLONIAL FAMILIES, v. 2

present endeavor wi 11 seek to exhibit i terns of unimpeachable proof, in chronological order, with citations to authority in order that the serious student of the PACE pedigree may be able to slay the hydra-headed serpent of presumptions, as­sumptions, misinterpretations and faulty con­clusions.

[COMMENT by DAVID A. AVANT, JR. Note that in the PACE family chapter DUAL generation num­bers are used. Numbers in parenthesis begin with the immigrant RICHARD PACE (l) and continues in DESCENDING order, while generation numbers NOT in parenthesis denote ASCENDING order. See "Working Chart." MR. TIMOTHY FIELD BEARD, F.A.S.G. of the New York Public Library has been asked to sum up the English research shown in the PACE family 8u{..f_etm No. 13 mentioned above and add any records available to him in the fol­lowing "Excursus."]

step-father to divide the land into the portions that each owned or would own.

We will next address the question of whether RICHARD 13 PACE, (1 l of Va. before 1616 and RICHARD PACE, CARPENTER, OF WAPPING in 1608 were the one and the same.... Most of the opposition seems to be concerned with the fact that RICHARD OF WAPPING was identified as a "carpenter" and thus unlikely to be a scion of a family of the lower nobility. This does not necessarily apply but English research will have to provide the answer.

Wapping and Stepney were located in the "East-End" of London and were the home ports of a great many of the ships which sailed to Va. in this and later periods. Most of the citizens were sea-farers, ship owners, ship builders, over-seas merchants and their employees. Here were located the docks, wharves, and warehouses and incidently, the Tower of London and St. Dun­stan's Church (the oldest medieval church in the London area). It therefore takes very little imagination to realize that RICHARD PACE, OF WAPPING, must have had much interest in all things relating to the sea and, since he was a carpenter, THAT HE MUST ALSO HAVE BEEN A SHIP ' S CARPENTER. This was an office of much merit aboard ship, especially after a storm, battle at sea or ship wreck.

CERINDA W. EVANS, in 1957, wrote a very in­formative little booklet for the 350th Jamestown celebration entitled Some Note,1 on ShlpbciJ..din.9 and Shlpp.i...n.9 .i...n. CoJ..orU.aJ.. V~~fJ-i-rU_a . On page 16 she notes that "Every colonizing expedition to the new world had been deeply impressed by the wealth of shipbuilding materials to be found ... mil-lions of acres of tall and sturdy trees .... Eng-land and Holland had been spending over a million pounds sterling each year in purchasing 1 umber

184 I SOUTHERN COLONIAL FAMILIES, v. 2

for their shipyards from Poland and Prussia."

This account recites further [p. 17J that "when CAPT. NEWPORT returned to Engl and in June 1607 he carried with him a request from the colonists to the company for carpenters to build houses and shipwrights to build boats.... Down through the years repeated appeals had been made to the company for ship-carpenters without success." In reply, a letter from the company in August 1621 gave the encouraging news that in the spring the company would send an excellent shipwright with 30 or 40 carpenters." [p. 13] "Most of the shi p-bui l ding done on the pl anta­ti ons was done by ship carpenters or men trained

by them."

A 11 the facts we have favor the premise that RICHARD PACE, CARPENTER, OF WAPPING IN 1608 AND RICHARD 13 PACE, (ll OF PACE'S PAINES OF VIR­GIN I A BEFORE 1616 WERE THE ONE AND THE SAME. It would be very difficult to prove they were not. BY THE SAME LOGIC AND REASONING MRS. IZA­BELLA PACE, ANCIENT PLANTER OF VIRGINIA BEFORE 1616 must have been the same person as ISABELL SMYTH, of Stepney, England, in 1608. At the time RICHARD 13 PACE (ll arrived in Virginia great effort was being made to import emigrants with the high­ly ski 11 ed trade of Carpenter. We have seen no evidence of a contrary nature to oppose this hypothesis.

COMMENT: This refers to the l,700 acres patented by GEORGE 12 PACE (2Jnd recorded above. He shortly thereafter ( 12 Oct. 1650) sold about one-half of this tract to THOMAS DREW ( 800 or 900 acres) which was confirmed in 1658/ 9 by his son, RICHARD 11 PACE (3) when he had reached legal age to do so (of this more later).

MACOCKE CMAYCOCKE) IN ENGLAND By TIMOTHY FIELD BEARD, F.A.S.G.

In the ~ace 5oci..ety of AmeALCa Dulleti..n #20 published Dec. 1974, there is a brief, but excel-1 ent, account of the origin of the Rev. Samuel Maycocke ( Macocke) who was baptised at Ye l ver­toft, Northamptonshire, on 7 Nov. 1594, and was unfortunately killed by Indians in the great massacre, 22 Mar. 1622 in Virginia.

In a cursory search of records in the Society of Genealogists in London in 1979, I could find no further information concerning the Rev. Samuel Maycocke and his ancestors than appeared in this Dulleti..n. However, I could see w~ere some further research should be done to possibly find the names of the wives of Roger Macocke and his son, Samuel, and even the fore­name of his father and other details of his ancestors.

The registers of the parish of Ye l vertoft, Northampton, begin in 1575. The first entries noted in the ~ace Dulleti..n abstracts concerning the Macocke family do not begin until 1590. Were these earlier registers checked, or were there no Macocke entries before 1590? I was unable to find transcripts of these parish records at the Society of Genealogists, but I have found that the ori gi na l records have been deposited at the Northhamptonshire Record Office, Delapre Abbey, Northampton NN4 9AW, and it would be possible to have a genealogist search the records there.

The neighboring Northamptonshire parishes of Lilbourne (1573), Crick (1559) Clay Coton (1541) and Winwick (1563) have 16th century registers which could turn up some missing wives or other Macockes. The parish of Yelvertoft also borders

190 I SOUTHERN COLONIAL FAMILIES, v. 2

on another county -- Warwickshire. The wills of that county should be checked for the surname, and the parish registers of Hillmorton (1564) which is next to Yeltertoft and Clifton-upon­Dunsmore ( 1594), Warwickshire, and other nearby parishes might shed light on the family. Interestingly enough, another county -- Leices­tershire -- is only a parish away from Yelver­toft. Catthorpe (1573), Swinford (1559), South Kilworth (1559), Shawell (1558), Misterton (1558) and Cotesbach ( 1558) are a 11 nearby Leicester­shi re parishes which might yield clues to the missing Macockes. The Wari ckshi re County Record office, Priory Park, Cape Road, Warwick CV34 4JS and the Leicestershire Records Office, 57, New Walk, Leicester LEl 7JB have some of these regis­ters, together with other records which might prove useful.

It would seem that to find additional mater­; al concerning the Maycockes, it wi 11 be neces­sary to go through a great mass of original and unindexed records. It is always possible that some of these registers have been microfilmed by the Mormons and placed on computers, if this is not the case then it would be best to hire local genealogists in Northampton, Warwick and Lei­cester, or someone who would go to a 11 three archives, to undertake further research.

RI CHARD 11 PACE( 3)

(Third generation in America)

COMMENT: Some of the earlier PACE family historians were evidently of a romantic tempera­ment and developed a very confusing habit of identifying their ancestors in successive genera­tions as GEORGE I, GEORGE II, RICHARD II, RICHARD IV, etc. These Roman numerals do not denote generations or father and son relationships and can only have been copied from the fashion of royalty.... It is therefore necessary to cor­rect this entirely unacceptable method and adopt a proper system.... Each i ndi vi dual wi 11 have a number denoting his specific generation in descent from the immigrant ancestor and a 11 his brothers and sisters will have the same identical DESCENDANT number proving not only their kinship but their parentage as well. [A DUAL system of generation numbers is used in this family. DESCENDANT generation numbers are enclosed in parenthesis, while ASCENDANT generation numbers are not in parenthesis. See "Working Chart" at beginning of chapter.]

COMMENT: This record gives us a speculative date for the marriage of RICHARD 11 PACE (3) to MARY

? . It has been claimed and widely published that she was a daughter of a JOHN KNOWLES and that this JOHN KNOWLES "MAY HAVE BEEN" the Puritan minister brought down from Waterford, Conn. in 1642 to preach to the people of Manse­mond Co. This deceptive theory has no evidence to support the a 11 egat ion except that a great grandson had the name of KNOWLES PACE. In spite of this absurdity we notice that some recent ac­counts still advance the claim in published form and thus perpetuate the delusion. Another school of thought believes that her maiden name was "BAKER" (of which more later).

A letter dated 20 May 1971 from MI SS MAUD Mc LURE KELLY (PACE family scholar) to MRS. ELEANOR (PACE) TERRELL states, "Do not be led astray by these wild guesses which claim that RICHARD(3) married MARY KNOWLES .... "

JESTER and HIDEN (p. 260), in the PACE Family Chapter states that, "It is probable that MARY PACE was the daughter of RICHARD BAKER, of Charles City Co. who on 21 Jan. 1664/ 5 made a Deed of Gift to

RICHARD PACE."

4. Elizabeth Taylor, m. Capt. John Hamblin 3. Richard Bradford, who married Frances Taylor, daughter of Sarah (Barker) and Richard Taylor, first appears in the records February 12, 1655, when Abraham Wood acknowledged that he had received full payment from him "of all debts due and demands from the beginning of the world" to that date. (Fleet, 10, p. 35.)

On July 21, 1656, Thomas Stegge received 1656 pounds of to­bacco "in full payment of Bradford's debts." (p. 46.) September 3, Howell Pryce assigns to Richard Bradford "half of 1200 acres lying at the head of Queens Creek." (p. 89 . ) On August 4, 1662, Howell Pryce sold him 11 1197 acres and 11 poles of land bounded according to patent already delivered. " (Fleet 11, p. 24. ) Also in 1662 he was appointed Administrator of James Phelps, deed., and in 1664 the probate of the will of John Robinson was given to him.

On November 27, 1671, Richard Bradford patented the above 1197 acres bounded on two sides by Old Tree Run and Fishing Run. (P. B. 6-385.) In 1710 Richard Bradford and Richard Bradford, Jr., then in Charles City, later Prince George, signed a petition to add part of James City to Charles City County. (18 V 399.) He was Sheriff of Charles City in 1705, and held 1397 acres in the Quit Rents of 1704. (17 V 155; 8 W 277.)

Richard Bradford and Richard Bradford, Jr. witnessed a deed of Ralph Bradford, another son of Richard Bradford, Sr., on July 14, 1716. (See below.) This seems to be the last appearance of these two in Prince George. They evidently lived in Charl~s City where the records are destroyed.

The children of Richard and Frances (Taylor) Bradford were: (1) Richard Bradford, Jr.; (2) John Bradford, (See later); (3) Ralph Bradford, who, on July 14, 1716, as Ralph Bradford of Prince George, deeded Edward Goodrich, David Goodgame and Joshua Goodgame of said county, for £ 10 current money, 400 acres in the parish of Westover which was in part given by the last will of James Ward, deed., to Frances, the mother of said Bradford, and the other part given by the will of Richard Taylor, deed., which land was "sold by my father, Richard Bradford, to James Tucker" and by the said Tucker to Edward Goodrich and the Goodgames . Teste: William Wynne, Richard Bradford, Rich­ard Bradford, Jr. (P.G. Bk. 1715, p.136.)

John Bradford (son of Richard and Frances Bradford) had 191 acres surveyed for him on the lower side of the Great Creek of the Meherrin River November 14, 1721. (1715-30, p. 759.) The main reason he is assigned as a son of Richard and.J'rances Brad­ford is because his oldest son was named "Richard 11 '8.nd his oldest daughter "Frances" (so named in his will). His second daughter was named "Rebecca", which was his wife's name, and his young·

,r •

153

est daughter was named "Sarah", probably for her grandmother, Sarah Barker. (See will later.)

John Moore, "son of Richard Moore", had 204 acres surveyed adjacent to John Bradford's 191 acres. John Bradford willed Mar­garet Moore 200 acres on Beaver Pond Creek, after her death to go to her son, Tobias Moore.

John Moore's wife was Tabitha Pace, daughter of Richard Pace, whose will was probated in Bertie, N. C., March 12, 1736. Richard Pace mentions seven married daughters, among whom were Ta­bitha Moore, and Rebecca Bradford. (See Pace.)

To further show a connection between Richard Pace and John Bradford, Richard Pace patented 285 acres in Prince George July 12, 1718. He afterwards assigned or gave this land to John Brad­ford. (Duke-Symmes, p. 71.) (See Pace.)

Rebecca Pace has previously been assigned as the wife of William Bradford, who died in Northampton Co., N. C. in 1763. (3 Tyler - 167. ) He was a son of a Thomas Bradford whose will was dated May 1761; probated November Court, 1762. (North­hampton Wills 1762-1791, Part I, p. 35.)

The examination of these facts makes it appear that inasmuch as John Moore was contemporary with John Bradford, and inas­much as he married Tabitha Pace, John Bradford married her sister, Rebecca Pace.

William Bradford, son of Thomas, was of a much later gene­ration. (See later relationship shown by the Moores, Paces and Bradfords in South Carolina.)

This article (3 Tyler 167) says, "Jesse Lane, born July 3, 1733, died October 28, 1806; married December 16, 1755. Wini­fred Aycock, daughter of William Aycock, who took out a grant of land in Northampton Co., N. C., 500 acres, August 26, 1746 (N. C. G. H. 1900) and August, 1779, was one of the grand jury in the first court held in Wilkes County, Georgia, (G. G. Smith's "Story of Georgia") and his wife, Rebecca Pace, the widow of William Brad­ford. Winifred Aycock was born April 11, 1741 and died in 1794."

Inasmuch as the William Bradford we are concerned with died in 1764 in Northampton, his widow could not have been the mother of Winifred Aycock, born in 17 41.

John Bradford died in Brunswick County, Virginia, in 1735. His will was as follows:

Will of John Bradford, Brunswick County, Virginia November 3, 1732 - Probated November 6, 1735 (29 V 507)

To eldest son, Richard: a survey of land on the south side of Foun­tain Creek, surveyed by the late Col. Thomas Cocke in 1732 -also 400 acres on north side of river called "Pamplico" when he is of age. He shall allow his mother, my wife, half the profits of the Mill.

Children of John and Rebecca (Pace) Bradford: 1. Richard, eldest son, was bequeathed by his father

land on Fountain Creek, also 400 acres called "Pamp­lico". Fountain Creek was in Northampton Co •• N. C •• as shown by grant to his brother Nathaniel, and "Pamp­lico" seems to be in Edgecombe Co •• N. C. He may have been the father of Thomas Bradford of Northamp­ton. (Will 1761. ) (See later. )

2. John was bequeathed 200 acres on south side of Foun­tain Creek. A captain John Bradford was executor of Hugh Hardy's estatt: in Halifax. N. C. 1761, also of Jennings Hackney in 1765. He may have been the Colonel John Bradford who was very prominent in Halifax during the Revolution. Colonel John Bradford died in 1787, leaving a large family. He is said to have been born in 1708. (D. A. R .• Vol. 137, p. 42.) He would hardly have been a colonel in active service at the age of 70. (N. C. Col. Rec. 12-509.) On Jan. 1, 1760, John Bradford and Patience, his wife, sold Jesse Pope 185 acres. (B. 7-264.)

3. Nathaniel, bequeathed 150 acres on the south side of Beaver Pond Creek in N. C.; also patented 300 acres near Fountain Creek in Northampton County. N. C •• April 11, 1745. (G. B. 5-338.) On April 28, 1750, he sold these 300 acres to Robert Jones, Jr. of Surry (BI-421). He evidep.tly moved to Edgecombe County where he had been willed 640 acres on the Tarr River.

· In 174 7, Nathaniel Bradford of Edgecombe sold 100 · acres to Benjamin Lane, part of a patent granted to

Thomas Brown March 2. 177 4, and sold to Nathaniel Bradford. (Halifax 3-280.) Nathaniel Bradford sold to John Bradford 185 acres granted March 20, 1749 for£ 25 on November 11, 1751. (Halifax 4, 167.) Captain Nathaniel Bradford of Edgecombe and wife Sarah sold land to Hugh Hardy. November 20, 1756. (BK, Part 14, 1756-61, p. 231.)

In 1745, Joseph Lane sold to John Bradford 200 acres on Hardy Branch, granted to Joseph in 1745. (Halifax 4-471.)

Joseph Lane (1710-177 4) was the father of Jesse Lane, who married Winifred Aycock December 16, 1755. the daughter of William Aycock.

It is evident that this is the Bradford family which was related to the Aycocks. for John and Nathaniel Bradford, Jr. and the Ay­cocks, Lanes and Pope,s moved to Wilkes County, Georgia.

Nathaniel Bradford Sr. of Edgecombe made his will October. 1756; same probated 1757. He mentions wife Sarah and children: (1) John; (2) Nathaniel; (3) Mary; (4) Patience.

Inventory of William Aycock's estate was filed in Wilkes Co .• Georgia, January 4, 1778. Among the debtors to the estate were: "John Bradford, to William Aycock dr. about the year 1745 for horse lent in Virginia. Henry Pope to William Aycock 1757 for a mare in Virginia." (History of Wilkes, Vol. I, p. 31.)

In 1802, Nathaniel Bradford had 200 acres in Wilkes, 287 in Washington, 287 in Franklin. (Do .• Vol II, p. 40. ) Nathaniel Bradford and wife Tamar sold land next to Burwell Pope and Tho­mas Wooten in 1790. (Do., 107.)

William Bradford of Virginia, on December 5, 1789, sold to John De Priest of Georgia 200 acres on north fork of Dover Creek, granted July 20, 1782. This deed was recorded in Elbert County, Georgia, and William Bradford seemed to be living there in 1792. (Habersham, Vol 3, 151.)

A Thomas Bradford appears early in the records of Bertie and Northampton Counties in North Carolina. He seems to be a sonor grandson of John and Rebecca (Pace) Bradford because of the re­lationship shown later between his children and the Pace and Moore families.

Thomas Bradford was residing in Bertie Precinct, N. C. in 1732, for on April 5, 1732 he and his wife Elizabeth of that pre­cinct (later Northampton County) for £ 10 sold to Phillip Mulkey of Edgecombe Precinct 180 acres on the south side of Moratuck River (later Roanoke) near Thomas Whitmel's corner. (Edge.1732-

41. p. 15.) There were but three counties in North Carolina at that time.

and the territorial divisions of these counties were called "pre­cincts." The designation of these precincts was changed to that of "county" in 1738. (Wheeler Hist. N. C.)

(Halifax 4, 167,) Captain Nathaniel Bradford of Edgecombe and wife Sarah sold land to Hugh Hardy, November 20, 1756. (BK, Part 14, 1756-61, p. 231.)

In 1745, Joseph Lane sold to John Bradford 200 acres on Hare Branch, granted to Joseph in 1745. (Halifax 4-471.)

Joseph Lane (1710-1774) was the father of Jesse Lane, who married Winifred Aycock December 16, 1755, the daughter of William Aycock.

It is evident that this is the Bradford family which was related to the Aycocks, for John and Nathaniel Bradford, Jr. and the Ay­cocks, Lanes and Pope_s moved to Wilkes County, Georgia.
