Maj. Lewis Burwell II
Hon. Lewis Burwell (1652-~1710) was the son of Maj. Lewis Burwell and Lucy Higginson, born circa 1652. He was married twice, first to Abigail Smith (11 Mar 1656/57 - 12 Nov 1692, cousin of Nathaniel Bacon), daughter of Anthony Smith and Martha Bacon, 1672 at Gloucester Co., Virginia and second to Martha Lear, daughter of Col. John Lear.He resided at King's Creek, York Co., Virginia. He resided at Carter's Creek, Gloucester Co., Virginia. He was a governor of the College of William and Mary in 1702. He was a member of Council between 1702 and 1711 at Virginia. he died circa 1710. He is the namesake of "Burwell's Bay" in Isle of Wight County This bay was originally called Warascoyack Bay until he acquired significant land upon its shores.

The Burwells (known as the Burls among Virginians) were among the First Families of Virginia in the Colony of Virginia. John Quincy Adams once described the Burwells as typical Virginia aristocrats of their period: forthright, bland, somewhat imperious and politically simplistic by Adams' standards. In 1713, so many Burwells had intermarried with the Virginia political elite that Governor Spotswood complained that " the greater part of the present Council are related to the Family of Burwells...there will be no less than seven so near related that they will go off the Bench whenever a Cause of the Burwells come to be tried." The Family was closely associated with the Fairfield Plantation, Gloucester County, Virginia, but several Burwells also built other famous Virginia plantations. Lewis Burwell III built the Kingsmill Plantation's manor house beginning in the 1730s. A few years later, Carter Burwell built Carter's Grove immediately to the east in what became the modern day Grove Community. Several place names such as Burwell's Bay in Isle of Wight County, Virginia are named after the Burwells. Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller, (aka Chesty Puller) is a war hero (from West Point, Virginia) takes his name from three generations of Lewis Burwells who had a large influence on early Virginia. The Burwell family of Virginia originally came from England – Bedfordshire. Their early history is not completely known but by 1607, they were living in Harlington, Bedfordshire, at Harlington House – now known as Harlington Manor.

Lewis Burwell 1621-1653

Lewis Burwell 1621-1653

Lewis Burwell was born to Edward and Dorothy (Bedell)Burwell in Harlington,
County Bedford, England. His mother's brothers,Gabriell and John Bedell, were
members of the Virginia Company and came toJamestown with the Second Supply in
1608.

After the death of his father, his mother had marriedRoger Wingate. In October
1633 Wingate and Edward Kingswell arrived inJamestown aboard the ship Mayflower
with a plan to create a settlement inCarolina. Finding that their promised
transportation to Carolina was notyet available, they remained at Jamestown
through the winter until early springwhen they decided to give up the project.
In March Wingate left with hisfamily and returned to England and Kingswell
followed in June. They shouldhave been more patient, for the promised ship
arrived in July.

Lewis Burwell arrived at Jamestown about 1640 - a timewhen the original first
generation had failed to carry their leadership over tothe next generation. The
new immigration of 1640, of which Burwell and hisbrothers were a part would give
to Virginia the progenitors of her greateighteenth-century families.

Roger Wingate, Burwell's stepfather, was the residuarylegatee of the land for
which his now deceased partner, Kingwell, had claimed bythe headright system.
Wingate did not immediately claim the land to whichhe was entitled until the
spring of 1648. 2300 acres were granted jointlyto Burwell and Thomas Vause on
the "lower part in Yorke River about 7 miles upthe Narrow on the South side
thereof". In the summer of the same yearBurwell claimed the headrights he
inherited form his stepfather, he received2350 acres "lying upon the North Side
of York River up Rosewell Creek on theSouthward side thereof" for the
transportation of forty-seven persons. This was the largest patent issued in
1648.

Nevertheless, the estate could not have been so large asto have guaranteed
Burwell and his descendants a position ofundisputed eminence in the colony.
But while everything did notproceed smoothly, he appears to have been a hard
worker who devoted much of hisefforts to the acquisition of land. His
landholdings expandedrapidly, and in 1650, for the transportation of thirty-two
persons, he received1600 acres in Northumberland County "upon the South side of
Potomeck River andEast side of Machotick River". The next day he was alloted
500 acres -this time on the "South side of Potomeck River upon West side of
NomenyRiver". Two years later, in October, 200 acres "100 acres of which
lyeswithin the Pallisade at the Middle plantation...the other with out
thePallisade" were granted to "Major Lewis Burwell and Lucy, his wife".

When he died in 1653, he had been in Virginia for lessthan fifteen years.

Lewis married Abigail Bacon Smith on 4 Mar 1674 in , Gloucester, Virginia, USA. Abigail (daughter of Anthony Smith and Martha Bacon) was born on 11 Mar 1656 in Colchester, Essex, England; died on 12 Nov 1692 in Abingdon, Gloucester, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

DANIEL LUCY, the first recorded Lucy in America, emigrated to Jamestown, Virginia on the ship 'Susan' in June 1624. Research has suggested that Daniel Lucy was the son of Timothy Lucy and Susanna Fanshawe, the youngest son of Sir William Lucy (c1510-1551) and Ann Fermer of Charlecote.

Daniel Lucy was given a patent of four acres of land on Jamestown Island and served on two juries. Present day descendents are related to his eldest son Samuel Lucy (1618-1662). Daniel died in Virginia in 1627, owing five hundred pounds of tobacco to his kinsman, RICHARD KINGSMILL. Richard's parents are believed to be Sir William Kingsmill (1555-1618) and Anne Wilkes. Sir William Kingsmill was the cousin of CONSTANCE KINGSMILL, the wife of Sir Thomas Lucy (1551-1605) of Charlecote. The full genealogy is scheduled below.

When King James I assumed responsibility for the colony of Virginia after he dissolved the Virginia Company of London in 1624, he ordered Virginia's leaders to make a record of the colony's inhabitants and their provisions. RICHARD KINGSMILL (spelt Kingsmell) with his wife Jane, son Nathaniell (aged 5) and daughter Susan (aged 1) were resident at the 'Neck-of-Land' near 'James Citty' in the Virgina Muster (survey) of 4th February 1624/25. His servants are recorded as Horten Wright, John Jackson, Isbell Pratt and Edward (a negro). Richard arrived on the ship 'Delaware' while his wife and servant on the ship 'Susan'. This is the first census ever held in America. There is no record of Daniel Lucy in the survey as her arrived in Jamestown later the same year. Richard Kingsmill owned five houses and one boat at this location.

In 1619 the second church minister at Jamestown, the Rev. Richard Buck (1582-1624) had patented 750 acres of land in the 'Neck-of-Land' for the first time; the land separated by water from the north side of Jamestown Island. Buck apparently relied on indentured servants to improve the land, including his caretaker, Richard Kingsmill. On Buck's death in 1624, the land passed to his caretaker and Richard became the guardian of his children. In 1624 there were many transient tenants working the land on 100-200 acre plots, primarily for Kingsmill, who also owned a house in Jamestown and served on the General Assemblies of 1624, 1625 and 1629. Both Richard and his wife had died by 1638 leaving an only heir, their daughter Elizabeth who was born at 'Neck-of-Land' in 1625. This area eventually became known as the Kingsmill tobacco plantation.

The surname of LUCY was a locational name 'of Luci', a parish in the arrondissement of Neufchatel in Normandy, France. The name was borne by a young Sicilian maiden and an aged Roman widow, both martyred under Diocletian and venerated as saints. Local names derive from a place name, indicating where the man held land, or the place from which he had come, or where he actually lived. Many of the French place-names denote the seat of noble families, but many of the modern surnames merely indicate migration from a French place. The name was taken to Ireland by settlers from Oxfordshire, where it was spelt O'Luasaigh, mainly a County Cork name. The earliest French hereditary surnames are found in the 12th century, at more or less the same time as they arose in England, but they are by no means common before the 13th century, and it was not until the 15th century that they stabilized to any great extent; before then a surname might be handed down for two or three generations, but then abandoned in favour of another. In the south, many French surnames have come in from Italy over the centuries, and in Northern France, Germanic influence can often be detected. When the sparse Irish population began to increase it became necessary to broaden the base of personal identification by moving from single names to a more definite nomenclature. The prefix MAC was given to the father's christian name, or O to that of a grandfather or even earlier ancestor. At first the coat of arms was a practical matter which served a function on the battlefield and in tournaments. With his helmet covering his face and armour encasing the knight from head to foot, the only means of identification for his followers, was the insignia painted on his shield and embroidered on his surcoat, the draped and flowing garment worn over the armour. Early records of the name mention Godfrey de Lucey of the County of Lincolnshire in 1273. Reginald de Lucy was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax of 1379.A powerful Anglo-Norman family called Lucy, took their name from Luce in Orne, Normandy. Richard de Lucy (died 1179) was a baron and chief justiciary of England. He fought in Normandy and commanded the castle of Falaise, returning to England in 1140. His son Godfrey de Lucy (died 1204) became bishop of Winchester in 1189.

Samuel married Henrietta Maria in 1638 in , , Virginia, USA. Henrietta was born in 1622 in , , , England; died in 1660 in Jamestown, James City, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Dorothy Bedell Burwell Wingate Notes
Dorothy Wingate, widow of Roger Wingate, Esq., gift of the quit rents, remaining due to her husband, to her "only and well beloved son, Lewis Burwell", dated 21st of July, 1648. Visitation of Bedfordshire (pub. by Harleian Society) shows that Edward Burwell's wife was Dorothy, daughter of William Bedell of Catworth, Huntingdonshire, and married, secondly, Roger Wingate, Esq.

Dorothy’s family appears to have been of somewhat more prominence than that of her husbands. Two of her brothers, Gabriell and John Bedell, were members of the Virginia Company and went to Jamestown with the second supply in 1608. Their names are on the Second Charter, May 23, 1609. Gabriell Bedell is listed on a document of 1618/19 as one of the "Adventurers in Virginia", and both brothers are recorded in "A Declaration of the State of the Colony and Affaires in Virginia". Their last appearance in the colonial record is in 1623-1624.

Letters of administration on her husband Edward Burwell's estate were issued to her on November 9, 1626. Dorothy and Edward had two daughters and three sons, and possibly two more sons. Dorothy and Roger had at least one daughter. Dorothy was a widow when she married Roger Wingate.

Clayton Torrence writes:
"Wingate, with his wife and family, returned to England in March, 1634.
Roger, and his wife Dorothy, returned to Virginia, and he was Treasurer of the Colony from 1639-1641 and member of the Governor's Council, 1639."

Roger Wingate and his wife Dorothy are mentioned in the will of Edward Kingswell, of London, Esquire (dated January 30, 1635/6; proved April 6, 1636), as 'My Brother and sister Mr. Roger Wingate and Dorothie, his wife.'"
ROGER WINGATE: Roger was distinguished for his interest in colonial affairs. He was a partner with Edward Kingswell in a venture to plant a colony in Carolina in 1633. In October that year Kingswell and Wingate, with their families and forty persons, arrived at Jamestown in Virginia, on the way to make a settlement in Carolina, but, as no vessel was there to carry them to their destination, they waited in Virginia until the next spring, when the proposed colony seems to have been abandoned.

The expedition was abandoned and Wingate returned to England in March 1634.
When Kingswell died, his will was proved in 1636, and headrights passed on to Roger Wingate. Roger was made Treasurer of Virginia in 1639. He was a member of the Council.
