Notes:

Walter Chiles was born in 1608 in England and died in 1653 in Jamestown, Virginia. Walter married Elizabeth Maury. She was born ca. 1602 in Middlesex, England and died in 1672.

The first mention of the original Chiles emigrant to Virginia is found in the records of the High Court of Admiralty Examinations in England. In the record of Examination No. 301 dated 24 July 1637 the Witness was Walter Chiles, Sr. of Bristol, a clothworker ages 29 who signed his own name to the document. He states that he was a passenger on the ship 'Blessing', of Falmouth and was employed to assist Henry Tuton, the ship’s purser. The ship was at James Town, Virginia for fourteen weeks. The date of Walter Chiles's first arrival in Virginia was probably 1636.

Some six months later after the 24 Jul 1637 Examinations, Walter Chiles, Sr. had outfitted his own ship and by 1 Mar 1638 was again in Virginia. On that date he was awarded 400 acres in Charles City County. The award stipulation was: “50 acres being due for his own personal adventure, 50 for his wife Elizabeth, 50 for his son William, 50 for son Walter and two hundred for the transportation of four other persons, viz: Henry Fulton, John Govey John Shaw and Sarah Cole, to the colony.” The location of the land was Westerly upon the Appamattuck River, Northerly upon land of Edward Tunstall and Southerly towards the falls.

The records of 20 Oct 1642 granted Walter Chiles 613 acres in Charles City Couty, “At Appamattocke River, beginning at the upward bounds of Mr. Tunstall’s land and adjoining William Sanders. Due by virtue of a former patent and transportation of 4 persons:.....(page 1)

We do not know the name of Walter Chiles's ship in 1838, but the name of his ship in 1652 was, “The Fame of Virginia”, and it was engaged in trade with Holland and England.

He was chosen Speaker of the Assembly of the House of Burgesses Jun/July 6, 1652 but he refused at that time because he was having a dispute with the authorities over his ship. (see page 2). He was a member of the 1641 Virginia Assembly. He was held in high esteem by the colonists. He represented Charles City in the House of Burgesses in 1642 and 1643, represented James City in 1645,46,49, and in 1652 was elected Speaker of the House. Other records are missing so he may have been a representative for other years.

Governor William Berkeley, in 1649, sold the home known as the “Kemp House” to Walter Chiles for the sum of 26,000 pounds of tobacco. It was the first brick house in America and was located in Jamestown.

Walter married Elizabeth Maury. Elizabeth was born in 1602 in , , Middlesex, England; died in 1672 in Jamestown, James City, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
