    Deaths

    Died, at his lodgings in the city of Philadelphia, on the 3d instant, William Tunstall, Esq. of the county of Pittsylvania, aged 64 years.

    He had visited that city with the expectation of receiving surgical aid -- But how vain are all our expectations -- we know not what an hour may bring forth -- and have again brought feasibly to our minds, the fact, that "in the midst of life we are in death."

    Mr. Tunstall has been for more than 40 years the Clerk of the courts of his county -- has been most happy in his home, his children and his friends -- indeed, all were his friends -- and, in him, the poor and needy have to deplore the loss of a man whose best feelings were always enlisted in their cause, and whose hand was ever ready to minister to their wants -- society has lost a a fixed star, and the State of Virginia a most worthy citizen.

    Classification: Query

    There is a John Shewmaker who was born abt 1765 in Albermarle (now Amherst) co in Va, and moved to Ky around 1787, perhaps to Mercer Co. He married Nancy Peter, and they moved to the Willisburg area of Washington Co., where he died in 1811. They have numerous Shewmaker descendants in the area. Some reverted to Shoemaker, and then back to Shewmaker. Another line of Shewmakers moved to Missouri.

    I think John was the son of William Shoemaker, who was son of John Shoemaker, both born in Virginia. John Sr. was the son of John Shoemaker, born in England, and arrived in Henrico Co., Va abt 1652.

    Information on William and his descendants is from: Rhoades, Clara Lee Shewmaker. 1975. Ancestors and Heirs of the Elizabeth Catharine Davenport, S.T. "Doc" Shewmaker, and Elizabeth Corn Family of Mercer County and Washington County, Kentucky. Britton's Printing Service, Harrodsburg, Kentucky.

    Samuel married Mary Elizabeth Davis in 1703 in , Hanover, Virginia, USA. Mary (daughter of Nathaniel Davis and Mary Elizabeth Hughes) was born on 16 May 1682 in Haven Hill, Albemarle, Virginia, USA; died on 2 Feb 1756 in , Albemarle, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  4. 35.  Mary Elizabeth Davis was born on 16 May 1682 in Haven Hill, Albemarle, Virginia, USA (daughter of Nathaniel Davis and Mary Elizabeth Hughes); died on 2 Feb 1756 in , Albemarle, Virginia, USA.

    Notes:

    Samuel Burk (b. 1680) m. Mary Davis (b. 1685), daughter of NathanielDavis.
    (It is at this point that Indian blood enters the Burks family), as Nathaniel's wife was Elizabeth Hughes, daughter of a member of a colonial family and a Trader named Hughes and his Indian wife, Niketti, whose mother was Cleopatra, sister to Pocahontas. Or so it has been recorded in several genealogies. The Indian name Niketti translates as "She who sweeps the dew from the flowers."

    Documentation for the the Burks/Davis genealogy of Nicketti is given by Frank Wellington's daughter, Mary Wheat Burks Dean (819 Peaksview, Bedford, VA 24523, April 15, 1980). She is the researcher of this Burks genealogy, which was begun by her mother. It is supplemented by information from Faye S. Poss, 471 Mimosa Drive NW., Tucker, GA 30084. Faye Poss is researching the Burks who migrated to GA.

    There is positive and indisputable proof that Pocahontas had a sister named Cleopatra. This proof was located in the old library of the Maryland Historical Society, an item of three lines covering eleven years. During the period covered by the fragment, matters became so bad between the Whites and the Indians that Opechancanough , Chief of the Powhatans, was induced to agree upon a line being established which neither White nor Indian, excepting truce bearers, should cross under penalty of being shot on sight. To insure strict obedience to the compact, a law was passed at Jamestown imposing a heavy penalty on any people crossing the line without a special permit from the Commissioners Council and the General Court. This accounts for the item alluded to, which is given verbatim. It reads:


    "Dec. 17th, 1641 -- Thomas Rolfe petitions the governor to let him see Opechankeno to whom he is allied, and Cleopatra, his mother's sister."The record of the General Court was evidently intended to be a verbatim
    copy though they differ in phraseology and spelling:


    "Dec. 17th, 1641 -- Thomas Rolph petitions Gov. to let him go see Opechanko, to whom he is allied, and Cleopatre, his mother's sister."

    Thomas Rolfe was the son of John Rolfe and Pocahontas, and Cleopatra was unquestionably not his aunts Indian name. It is, however, the only name that has been passed to us historically, and we must accept it. One wonders if her name was not "Matachanna", the aunt-nurse associated with his mother in Thomas Rolfes earliest memories

Opechancanough, the celebrated chief of the Powhatans, *** left a lovely young daughter, the child of his old age, the Princess Nicketti, -- 'she who sweeps the dew from the flowers.' Some years after this graceful Indian maiden had reached the years of mature womanhood, a member (the name is not given) of one of the cavalier families of Virginia fell in love with her and she with him, and the result was a clandestine marriage, and a half-breed Indian girl, who married about the year 1680 a Welshman (others say a native of Devonshire, England), named Nathaniel Davis, an Indian trader, and according to some accounts a Quaker; and from this alliance many notable people in the East and in the West have descended. Their daughter, Mary Davis, born about 1685, married Samuel Burks, of Hanover (the ancestor of the Burks family of Virginia), and their daughter, Elizabeth Burks, married Captain William Cabell, the ancestor of the Cabells.
    "Martha Davis, senior, a son (the ancestor of the 'black Davises' of Kentucky and from whom Jefferson Davis descended), had a daughter, Abadiah (or Abigail) Davis, who married William Floyd, the ancestor of the Floyds of Virginia and of the West.
    "A daughter or granddaughter of the Quaker married General Evan Shelby, of Maryland, the ancestor of the Shelbys of the West.
    "Samuel and Philip Davis, of the Blue Mountains, were sons, and there may have been other sons and daughters.
    "William Floyd left the eastern shore of Virginia, went up the country as far as the present Amherst County, which was then a very wild region, where he met with this family of Davises, who had traded with the Indians and gotten much property this way. (the Quakers were much given to friendly trading with the Indians.)
    "William Floyd and his wife's brother, Robert Davis, junior, with their families emigrated to Kentucky with the first settlers, and finally located in the Bear-grass region near Louisville, where the kinsmen (Floyds and Davises) had a fort, called Floyd's Station.
    * * * * * * *
    "The Princess Nicketti's name has not been popular among her traditional descendents (it may be because the marriage was clandestine). The first Governor John Floyd named one of his daughters for her. I know no other namesake, but if tradition is true, no more lovely woman ever 'swept the dew from the flowers'."

    Drowning death of two(2) daughers

    Richard Tunstall, the clerk of King & Queen Court, was generally known as Colonel Richard Tunstall. He appeared in Essex as deputy clerk about 1722, and a few years later he married Ann Hill, dau. of Leonard Hill, and widow of Dr. James Walker. They were married in 1727-1728, and Colonel Richard Tunstall came to King & Queen and established himself at Orange Grove, which had been the patrimony of his wife's first husband Dr. James Walker.
    I n 1738, Richard Tunstall was appointed clerk of court of King & Queen Co., which office he held until he turned it over to his son John Tunstall.

    Mrs. Ann Tunstall (1705-1788) survived an attack of smallpox, which deprived her of her sight, and she died in 1788 or 9, at the age of 84 years.

    Col. Richard Tunstall, in addition to his duties as clerk, rose from Captain to Colonel in the militia oc(of) the county. He was a member of the Commission of Justices, and was Chairman of the Committee of Safety for King and Queen Co. The clerkship was turned over to his oldest son, John Tunstall, who had been a deputy for several years under his father. Colonel Richard Tunstall all died during 1775.

    From OLD NEW KENT COUNTY by M.H. Harris

    TUNSTALL OF VIRGINIA Compiled by Frances C. Griffin, Chesapeake, Va.
    Page 5

    Robert H. Tebbs and Eliza L. Tunstall were married Nov. 26, 1835

    James L. Tunstall and Eliza L. Croone of Ala. were married Dec. 12, 1837

    "Died on the 13th July 1867 at 12:00 o'clock Mrs. E. L. Tebbs, beloved wife of Dr. R.H. Tebbs."

    In 1691, the year King and Queen was formed from New Kent, Edmund Tunstall and Catherine, his wife, conveyed one acre of land for the use of the Pollard in 1828, when the King and Queen Records were intact.

    Edmund Tunstall died prior to 1707, when there was an arbitration which came out of a suit between Samuel Mathews and Catherine, his wife(formerly Catherine Tunstall, dau. of Edmund Tunstall) and Richard Wyatt in right of Mary Tunstall and Barbara Tunstall, for whom he was appointed guardian, and also in right of his wife, Catherine, who was formerly the wife of Edmund Tunstall, in right of her dower.

    There have been guesses as to the William Tunstall who owned "Beudley Plantation", which have been in a measure resolved by finding the Bible Records of his father Col. Richard Tunstall of Orange Grove. William Tunstall was born May 22, 1743. He attented Donald Robertson's School in 1761, and after this he is absent from contemporary records. However, he went to Williamsburg, where he was a clerk in the auditor's office, and when the county of Pittsylvania was formed by an Act of the General Assembly in 1767, William Tunstall was appointed clerk of court.

    It is not known from whom William Tunstall acquired the Beudlley estate, but is evident that he had it by purchase or a gift from his father, and the house which stood there was already on the property, when it was acquired. It was advertized in the Virginia Gazette in 1767.

    William Tunstall had become established in the new county of Pittsylvania, commissioned its first clerk of court, and his business affairs in King and Queen came to an end with the sale of the Beudley plantation by his father, Col. Richard Tunstall, and John Semple.

    Samuel Garlick Jr., son of Camm Garlick, had reached his majority and received the home place in King William County; his sister Sarah had married Richard Gregory Tunstall, and his sister Mary Camm had married Leonard Tunstall Jr.

    Richard G. Tunstall Jr. was in 1820 charged with 206 1/2 acres of land in King & Queen next to William Boyd. The same years the heirs of Leonard Tunstall jr. were named as owners of the Heartquake Mill and ten acres of land adjacent thereto. The estate of Camm G. Tunstall in 1820 was charged with 658 1/2 acres, which adjoined the Baylor Fleet Estate.

    OLD NEW KENT COUNTY by M.H. Harris
    States:
    Richard Tunstall, who was granted land at the mouth of Aquentenocko Creek on April 25, 1667, was the first of the family to settle in King & Queen Co. Little is know of him, but it is evident that he was the father of Richard Tunstall Jr. who, in 1686, was granted by patent 400 acres of land in the woods of the north side of Mattapony River and adjoining Capt. William Smith's land. The same year Edward Tunstall received 750 acres which joined the patent issued to Richard Tunstall Jr.

    There are no records left to establish the relationship of these three patentees, but it is probably that Richard Tunstall the first was father of Richard Tunstall Jr. and Edward Tunstall, who was later called Edmund Tunstall.

    Edmund Tunstall, who succeeded Richard Tunstall the first as owner of land at King & Queen Courthouse, was certainly a legatee of Richard Tunstall, and it is believed that he was a son. Edmund Tunstall married Catherine Long, and they were the parents of three daughters: Barbara Tunstall, Catherine Tunstall, who married Samuel Mathews, and Mary Tunstall, who married Thomas Fox, of King William County.

    The estate of Thomas Tunstall is mentioned in the accounts of John Baylor, the merchant, but his identity is not proved as related to the fore-going members of the family.

    Richard Tunstall, the clerk of King & Queen Court, was generally known as Colonel Richard Tunstall. He appeared in Essex as deputy clerk about 1722, and a few years later he married Ann Hill, dau. of Leonard Hill, and widow of Dr. James Walker. They were married in 1727-1728, and Colonel Richard Tunstall came to King & Queen and established himself at Orange Grove, which had been the patrimony of his wife's first husband Dr. James Walker.

    John Tunstall, the oldest son of Col. Richard and Ann Hill his wife, was born in 1733. He married When quite young, Sallie, daughter of Col. Joseph Temple and Ann Arnold his wife. He was trained in the clerk's office under his father and was his deput(y) before 1762.

    In time, John Tunstall succeeded his father in the office of Clerk of Court, and he also served as clerk of the Committee of Safety. His father, Col. Richard, as stated was Chairman and his brother Richard Tunstall was also a member, noted as Richard Jr., his father being then alive.

    One of the unsloved mysteries of the history of the county concerns the disappearance of John Tunstall from the clerk's office and the appointment of Richard Tunstall, his son, as clerk and guardian of his fahter's infant children. It appears from the records which are left that John Tunstall lived until about 1795, after which his land was charged to his estate.

    Richard Tunstall, son of John Tunstall, attended Donald Robetson's school, and John Tunstall paid his tuition. After the death of his grandfather, Col. Richard Tunstall, he became Richard Tunstall Junior, his uncle of the same name having become Senior.

    The other children of John Tunstall are known from records at King and Queen and at Louisa.---- "2 Feb. 1797, between Joseph Tunstall & Jane his wife, John Bell and Ann his wife, John Roggers and Sarah his wife, and Eliza Tunstall of the one part and Humphrey Temple --conveyed-- tract of land situate in King & Queen County --St. Stephen's Parish which John Tunstall dec'd lately occupied and sold to Humphrey Temple --200 acres surveyed by John W. Semple in 1788, adj. Edward Hill, Ryans Creek to Wm. Tunstall."

    These records postively establish the fact that John Tunstall's land was sold by his children who survived, and that Richard Tunstall, his son, who died in 1791, had already received from his grandfather's estate a liberal portion of land, which is recored under the title of Orange Grove.

    Richard Tunstall Junior was so captioned after the deth of his grandfather because his uncle Richard Tunstall became Senior. He married his cousin Catherine, dau. of George Brooke and Hannah Tunstall. After Richard Tunstall Jr. died in 1791, his wife Caty Tunstall was charged with his personal property. She became the guardian of her children, and around 1800 moved with them to Norfolk, where her sister resided. She died in the 70th year of her age in 1827.

    The children of Richard Tunstall and Ann Brooke were named in the Tunstall Bible Records:
    George Brooke Tunstall born 20 July 1782; Baptized by Rev. Mr. Jesse Carter, Sponsors: Elizabeth Price, Caty Bird, Mary Tunstall, Sarah and Joseph Tunstall, Richard Brooke, Robert Campbell, and Nicholas Lyne.

    Ann Brooke Tunstall born 14 May 1784 was baptized by the Rev. Mr. Jesse Carter. Sponsors: Esther and Agnes Tunstall, Sarah Tunstall, Temple Elliott and William Tunstall.

    Alexander Tunstall born 19 March 1787, babptized by the Rev. Mr. Jesse Carter. Sponsors: Jane Seaton, Ann Pollard, Robert Pollard, Richard Gregory Tunstall.

    It from the children of Richard Tunstall that the family of Tunstalls in Norfolk have sprung, and reached a degree of prominence in keeping with their ancestry.

    Joseph Tunstall (1758-1818), son of John Tunstall, married one of the seven Pierce sisters, Jane, on 10 Oct. 1781, and after a short residence in King & Queen County removed to Barren County, Kentucky, and his children resided in that state.

    This is all there is (6) pages. It seems this was part of an original genalogy because on the cover page it reads
    This is mostly too late (hand written). I hope this helps anyone researching the surname TUNSTALL and I can now go to bed and dream of the name Ha! Ha! I have typed it soooooo many times. Enjoy! Rochelle http://genforum.genealogy.com/tunstall/messages/412.html
