Ulrich or Uldrick Winegar (Wiennegar) (1668 - 1754)
Birth: 1652 Zurich Bezirk, Zürich, Switzerland
Death: Mar. 3, 1754 Dutchess County, New York, USA

Uldrick came to the United States as part of the Palatine Migration from Germany in 1710. They actually went to England first, then to America. The Palatine region in Germany was attacked by the French (The Thirty Years War) over religous and political issues. As a final blow, the winter of 1708 destroyed much of the farming/vineyard livelihood of many of the inhabitants. This instability was probably a major factor in Uldrick choosing to leave the Palatine with his family and join a group of emigrants to England. The group fled to England but the British government soon sent them onward to the United States in 1710. The Winegar's were one of the families in this group.

His name has many different spelling variations, including Ulrick, Ulrich, Uldrich and even Olric.

Ulster's Earliest Suffers for Freedom
The winter of 1683-4 was extremely severe. Crops had been short the preceding summer because of dry weather, and the people were complaining. One day Captain Thomas Chambers met Henry Pawling on the road, and they talked over their grievances. When Pawling reached Slecht's mill he met some neighbors and they discussed a propositon he made that they petition the governor for a redress of grievances, as Chambers had proposed. The suggestion took, and a meeting was called for January 26th, 1684, at the house of William de Myer. The following paper was drawn and 63 of the inhabitants of Kingston, Hurley and Marbletown signed it. It is given as worded in the antique phraseology and spelling of the day:

To the Right Honorable Coll. Thomas Dongan, Governor General of all his royal highnesses territory in America:
The humble petition of the inhabitants of Esopus in the county of Ulster:
That, whereas, the inhabitants of Esopus, in the county of Ulster, for the owne part, having bought and paid for of ye Indyans their land to the full satisfaction of the same, and peaceable possesss for severall yeares, and then it pleased God there was a combination among the Indyans and they made wars and it fell upon these our parts, killed severall of the inhabitants took severall prisoners and burned our dwellings to ye great losse of goods and blood and spoyle of our place we seedes dured three weekes and soe thorrow God's assistance we beat them of and then were forced to plowe, seew, moow, and all other worke with a great guarde at our owne chage, no receiving monies or relief of any other part of the country to the repairing of our lossess, and since the settlement of the government by his royal highness it pleased Governor Nicholls and Governor Lovelace to settle severall of the soldiers amongst us in the town of Marble to be governed among the rest by the laws of his royal highness, and we have allways yielded our allegiance and obedience to the same rendering and paying such duties as were required by us both to the governors, or to his royal higness customs: Therefore, your honor's petitioners humbly pray that wee may have the liberty by charter to this county to choose our own officers to every towne court by the major vote of the freeholders, and that they may decide all actions of debt to the value of five pounds or more, it being very prejudicall to this county it moste among the poor farmers and charges of higher courts will prove very burdensome for such small summes; and that wee may make such orders among ourselves in every towne court in this county for the preservation of the corn fields, meadow ground, goods and chattels according as ye concenience of ye yeare and place doe require, and that all such fines levyed by the towne courts may be for the use of the same, not exceeding twenty shillings according to the laws of his Royall Highnesses. And further that wee may have liberty to transport all grayns, flower, beefe, porke, and all other such produce as are now or hereafter maybe within this county, rendering and paying all such dues and customs as required by the lawes of this government.
"And honors petitioners as in duty bound, shall ever pray and etc."

Governpr Dongan was full of wrath when this petition was presented. He immediately ordered the petitioners to be arrested as rioters. The orders were placed in the hands of sherrif who carried it out with due speed. No court having jurisdiction would sit until June. So they had the alternative of giving bail until June, or of being locked up. They choose the former. On June 6th Matthias Nicoll, of New York, came up as presiding judge and opened court by charging the grand jury to indict each prisoner. This was done. All were put upon trial at once. William de Myer was tried first, as he was a leader and had circulated the petition. His indictment recited that:
On or about the 26th day of January, in the 35th reign of the yeare of the reign of our sid Lord the king; by force of arms at Kingston, tumultously and seditiously endeavoring and wholly intending the laws, and customs and usages of this county of Ulster to subvert and destroy, and new laws and customs and usage instead of them to serve and bring in tumultously and seditiously a certain petition containing the subversion of the well settled laws and peace of our said Lord the King in the county.

He maede no defense, but pleaded guilty, and was fined five pounds, with four pounds, four shillings costs. Nicholas Anthony, Matthys van Keuren, Moses DePuy, and Henry Pawling pleaded guilty and received like judgment.
Jacob Rutsen, Jan Foeken, Cornelis Hogeboom, William de la Montgne, Robert Bickerstaff, Jacob Jansen, Jan Elting, Johannes de Hooges, Cornelis Cole, and Jan Willemse Hooughteling were arraigned together and fared no better.
Wessel Ten Broeck, Jan Hammel, Mattys Slecht, Thomas Quick, Roeloff Kierstede, Severyn ten Hout, Cornelis Slecht, Peter Cornelissen, Hendrick van Weyen, Hendrick ten Eyck, Jan Laurens, Abraham de la Meter, Benjamin Provoost, Harmen Hendricks Rosencrans, Jan Matthyse van Keuren, Jacobus Elmendorf, Jacob Aertsen van Wagenen, Jan Hendrix, Tjerck Claese DeWitt, Claes Teunisse, Jan Albertse Roosa, Mattyse Ten Eyck, Heyman Albertse Roosa, Arian Albertse Roosa, Matthys Blanchan, Gysbert Krom, Henry Albertse and france Goderis were let off with three pounds less because they were neither civil or military officers.

Egbert Hendricks, Claes Juriense, Abel Westphalen, Jan Schut, Simon Cole, Hendrick Kipp, Bruyn Hendricks Gysbert van Garden, Arent Teunisse, Johannes Westphalen, Peter Barent Cole, Lodewyck Ackerman, Peter Peterson, William van Vredenburgh, Matthew Blanshan, Jan Peterse Tack, Hendrick Aertsen, and Cornelis Ten Hout confess the fact, plead their ignorance to have done an ill act but, in regard of their poverty were only condemned to pay cost.

Thomas Chambers chose a bolder and more independent course. They accused him of originating, inciting, abetting, and alluring divers and many evil affected persons to the number of 62 disturbers of the peace in the 10th day of February 1684, at which time he addressed a meeting of citzens held in the town hall, in the village of Kingston. He did not deny or affirm this, but claimed the rights of Englishmen and put himself on his country. This compelled the judge to order the sheriff to empanel a jury, when the court adjourned until the next day.

In the morning Edward Whitaker, Peter Lossing, Evert Pels, Anthony Telba and Gerrit Aertse van Wagenen of Kingston; Roeloff Swartwout and Thomas Swartwout of Hurley; Jeremiah Kettle, Willem Schutt, Jan Decker, Arian Gerritse and Gerrit van Vliet of Marbletown were sworn as juryman and the trial proceeded. The attorney for the crowns produced witnesses, among them Henry Pawling, through whom he proved that as early as December, 1663, and at divers other times, Chambers had talked to them over the distressed condition of the times, the want of proper laws to suit the locality the laxity in the administration of justice, the partiality of officers, and at the same time suggesting a remedy, through a petition to the governor for a dedress of grievances. It was also shown that he drew up the petition, circulated it and induced Pawling and others to do likewise; that on the 10th of February he addressed a large meeting as herinbefore stated; and at the same time used language derogatory to the laws and crown.

In answer, Thomas Chambers, pleading for himself, acknowledge his signature, and that he not only drafted the seditious paper, but tried to and did get others to sign it; that it did not contain a word derogatory to the crown, but only asked for the abatement of evils incidental to new countries, but which strangers could not understand, therefore, could not abate. He thought it was not insulting, nor tumultous, nor riotous, for subjects of the British crown to respectfully state their desires and ask for a remedy. It was a born right of an Englishmen. As to the charge of having spoken in public he averred that he was not the only one who did; Pawling and others did likewise, but he did not offer this in mitigation, for he had only done as he had seen others do at home. H e was an Englishmen.

This incontrovertible argument illustrates how the desires for self-government had its inspiration in the hearts of men, here as elsewhere, at this early period in our colonial history. But it did not free Chamber. He was found guilty on charge of the court, and fined fifty pounds, which he promptly paid, and then became surety for those who had confessed judgment and placed themselves at the mercy of the court.

I have often thought Chambers, considering the boldness of his stand, came out much easier than might have been expected but he was a titled lord (of a manor) by letters-patent, and had earned his title by being the founder of Esopus, its bravest soldier, its wisest counssellor, and most successful financier. This with an acquaintanceship with the judge doubtless saved him from a worse penalty. His promptness in paying, as well as the fame of his principles was not without its immediate good results, for Governor Dongan remitted the fines under the admonitions of Royality. This was the last time the right of petition was denied our citizens, for the assembly, which had but just been organized, took upon itself the defense of the people.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

JAMES J. RICE AND EBENEZER RICE, OF SALINA, NEW YORK; LAURA RICE ADMINISTRATRIX OF SAID JAMES J. RICE, DECEASED.

GRAVEL-PUMP FOR EXCAVATING WELLS, etc.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 883, dated August 15. 1838.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Ebenezer Rice, of Salina, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, in conjunction with James J. Rice, deceased, late of Salina aforesaid, have invented a new and useful machine which we denominate a "gravel-pump" for the purpose of excavating wells and sinking shafts in soils composed of coarse gravel and sand; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description.

First a cast iron tube or cylinder represented by Figure 1 in the annexed drawing from eleven to twelve inches in diameter

I5:4nd three fourths of an inch in thickness represented by letter (A.) At about twentyone inches from the bottom at (B.) it is reduced by bevel of two and one half inches to a neck (C.,) of eight and one half inches

20 in diameter and 'fifteen inches in length, in which the piston of the pump will operate when in use. At its lower extremity it should have triangular spaces of about one inch (D) to prevent it from becoming too

25 firmly fixed in the sand. A bottom of some strong wood not liable to split about two inches in thickness with a circular opening in the center, of at least six inches, is firmly connected to the inside of the pump by bolts,

30 nails, or screws, immediately above the triangular openings. In the upper side of the bottom, are inserted in a secure manner, about twelve pieces of whale-bone of five and six inches, alternate in length, inclin

35 ing to a point at top so as to form a cone, to prevent the escape of coarse gravel when received in the vacuum. This cone may be formed of slips of tough wood, plates _ of elastic metal, or any other substitute which

40 will preserve a conical form, easily admitting the substance to be excavated and preventing its escape. Whale bone is found to answer the purpose perfectly, can easily be replaced when broken, is elastic, strong, and

45 cheap. To prevent sand and fine gravel from escaping, a shirt or piece of canvas, of about the size of the inside of the pump, is nailed or otherwise attached to the bottom, immediately and closely around the inser

50 tion of the whale-bones. It is about twelve inches in length and open at the top, and collapsing around the cone prevents the passage of air substances from the bottom of the pump except water.

The piston (E.) is in the usual form of 55 cast iron, firmly attached to its rod, and having from eight to twelve holes of an inch or less in diameter, to permit the escape of the water, but should not be so large as to permit coarse gravel to pass, which, by be- 60 coming wedged between the outside of the pump and the tubing^ would obstruct the removal of the pump when charged or . loaded with gravel. Encircling the rod is a thin cast iron cap or valve (F) with leather 65 secured to its under side and allowed to play or slide upon the rod about three inches to a bulb or enlargement of the rod (Gr.) The upper extremity of the neck is surrounded by a band (H.) attached by rivets, and 70 bent so as to form holes or eyes (I) for the attachment of the bail (J) which encircling the rod at its curve, its extremities pass through the eyes, and for its more ready connection and detachment, are secured by the 75 split, or double wedge elastic keys ?.(&).

Fig. 2 represents a longitudinal section of the machine, with the apparatus cornbind as in operation. A. the body of the pump; B, the bevel; C, the neck; D, the bot- .80. torn or block, with its circular opening E; F, the whale bones connected with the bottom forming a cone; G, shirt or canvas surrounding whale bones; H, piston with the cap or valve resting upon it; I, hole 85 in the piston to permit water to pass; J, piston rod; K, bulb on piston rod; L, bail; M, eye in the band of the pump for bail; N,:key hole in the bail; O, O, double wedge or elastic keys; P, Q, nuts or screws on 90 the extremities of the piston rod.

Fig. 3: A, the piston; B, cap on valve; C, bulb on the piston rod; D, nut on top of the rod; E, screw on top of the piston rod to attach pole or rope; F, nut on bottom of rod 95 to secure piston thereto; G, G, &c., holes in the piston to permit escape of water; H, bail; I, key holes in bail.

Fig. 4 represents the bottom, or block of the machine, with its circular opening, and 100 the canvas encircling the cone of whale bones, in the situation it would appear when exhausted, and filling with gravel. A, bottom; B, circular opening; C, canvas or shirt inclosing cone of whale bones. ;. 105

Use: This pump, or machine, is inserted in a well, or shaft, which should be properly tubed, with cast or sheet iron or other

883

proper material with space to permit it to pass readily, and having a rope, or rods connected with the end of the piston, is worked in the manner of a pump, until suf5 ficiently charged with the substance to-be removed, when it is raised by a windlass or other power. It is particularly adapted to the excavating of shaft pan'brine, and was discovered while excavating wells for that

10 purpose, as no instrument was known, which would readily raise the gravel from the bed without great delay, and difficulty, and at same time leave the sides of the well loose, and pervious to the transmission of the brine;

15 the ordinary process of drilling merely crowding the stones from the shaft, and rendering the sides of the well compact, hard, and nearly excluding the passage of small streams of'brine into the well. It can be made

20 of any size corresponding with the tubing, or capacity of the shaft, but the above is recommended as a suitable size, which has been found by practice, to answer a valuable purpose. It may also be used to excavate sand,

25 or gravel, from docks, or rivers, and to

raise articles from beneath deep water, when their location is known.

What we claim in behalf of Ebenezer Rice'and'the legal representatives of James and the legal representatives of James J. 30 J. Rice, deceased, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is??

The manner in which we have combined and connected the respective parts of the above described machine, for the purpose 35 of excavating wells and shafts, and the removal of sand and gravel therefrom; that is to say, we claim the combination of the exhausting apparatus with the cylinder, the conical bars of whale-bone, or other mate- 40 rial, and the canvas surrounding the same, constructed and operating in the manner set forth. ??:'?'-''

Ursula Adams
Ursula was the beloved daughter of Henry Adams, said to be "the immigrant ancestor of the Adams family which has given to the United Sates two Presidents, a minister to Great Britain" and respected theologians in the early, religiously orthodox days of the Massachusetts Colony.1

She was the fifth child of nine and the only daughter of Henry and Edith (Squire) Adams, born July 19, 1619, in Somerset, England, near the southwest England Bristol Channel, just south of Wales. She was nineteen, and her youngest brother barely nine years old when Henry Adams gathered his family and sailed for the New World on one of the probably nine ships from England that braved the north Atlantic in 1638.

They arrived in a year that beset the colonists with the most extreme weather Massachusetts can offer up, as recorded by Governor John Winthrop: "The spring of 1638 was so cold in New England that the settlers were forced to plant corn two to three times, for it rotted in the ground. This was followed by a warm summer and two tempestuous storms (hurricanes), the first August 3rd and the second on the 25th of September. The rains continued throughout the autumn and a considerable amount of snow arrived in October."2

The first concern of those early settlers was procuring food. Captain Roger Clapp came ashore at what was to become Watertown in May, 1630, and remembered that "the then un-subdued wilderness yielded little food." Writing of the years up to 1640, Clapp observed, "Fish was a good help to me and others. Bread was so very scarce, that sometimes I thought the very crusts of my father’s table [in England] would have been very sweet unto me. And when I could have [corn]meal and water and salt boiled together, it was so good, who could wish better?"3

By the time Henry Adams' family settled south of Boston in Braintree, property lines had been established and substantial houses built in the several settlements that had sprung up within a few miles of the rocky coast. The Cambridge of 1638 was " but a little village, scarcely 300 yards from north to south and 400 yards from east to west on the northerly bank of the Charles River, three miles west of Boston. Its area was divided by four short streets parallel to the river, crossed from north to south by four others. Within the area were forty or fifty unpainted wooden houses with shingled roofs. A little church of hand-hewn logs, stood near the center of the village. Extending eastward from Harvard Square in what is now Massachusetts Avenue was a row of houses which formed the northerly limit of the town."4

That Ursula was a favorite is marked by the fact that, upon her father's death in 1646, Henry's only daughter was remembered with a bequest of land "in the Neck ... during the terme I was to enjoy it, until returne into the towne's hand againe from whom I had it" even though she was the married mother of three children living with her husband in Charlestown at the time.5

Stephen Streeter arrived in Massachusetts Colony from Kent, England, in the same year that Ursula and her family had landed. Stephen and Ursula were married in 1640, two years later. He was at least the third generation of Streeter tradesmen employed as shoemakers. As did his colonial neighbors, Stephen also farmed. He is noted as a "freeman,"6 a distinction of citizenship that as few as 1 in 10 of the colony's inhabitants were qualified to enjoy.7 To be recorded as a freeman by the General Court, one had to be a mature male church-member, and must have experienced a transforming spiritual awakening by God's grace as attested by the applicant himself and confirmed by church leaders.8 Taking the oath as a freeman allowed one to vote in the affairs of the community in meetings generally held at the village church and, through his local meeting, be represented at convening of the council of the Colony. By this rigorous qualification and the stringency of the oath — oath-taking being a serious matter upon which one's salvation hinged — the church fathers sought orderly governance as well as maintained their influence upon the more temporal concerns of the colony.

Stephen Streeter died after twelve years of marriage and after giving Ursula seven children. Mary, Ursula's youngest child, was born after the death of her father, and one presumes that the young widow had to rely upon her brothers and neighbors following her husband's death for help with the farm, while she looked to providing for the increase of her estate.

Half of Stephen's Charlestown homestead was willed to his son, Stephen, inheriting at the age of 12, and presumably the balance remained to the benefit of his wife, who was about to turn 33 years old at the time of her first husband's death. The sum of Stephen's worldly goods was carefully enumerated by his friends and neighbors Samuel Cartar and Robert Cutler to include his leather-working lasts, lead and hammer, and his household goods comprised of a "little feather bed, coverlet, bolster and pillow, a pewter item, curtains, three bedsteads with six bed sheets, an iron pot and a kettle, skillet and 'a skomer', pot hangers in the fireplace, a fire shovel and tongs with gridiron, twenty pounds of yarn and five keys with matching locks, a Bible and sundry lumber" whose estimated worth was £6.6, locally, by my reckoning.9

Miss Adams became a woman of ample means by virtue of her hale constitution: she was married no less than four times, inheriting properties in towns separated by tracks winding through forest whose control by the aboriginal Indians made distances of a couple of hour's walk quite distinct from one another — Watertown from Cambridge, Cambridge to Roxbury, for example10 — and to walk from one to the other was to chance grievous harm. Nonetheless, after Stephen died, the combination of domestic husbandry, physical need and emotional want caused widowers of the Colony to hazard the distance to court her, and from her first three husbands, the third of which, the unfortunate Mr William Robinson, for example, she gained his "dwelling house, orchard, meadow, hempyard, that part of the new barn and old barn I now enjoy, stable, cow yard, one-half the pasture, [nine] acres salt marsh by the river, and half the fresh meadow by Thomas Trott's and all the planting ground near his house being [eleven] acres." 11

By 1668, the year of the hapless Mr Robinson's untimely death, the property lines of Watertown were well established and recorded, as were those of the other communities of the Anglo pioneers on Massachusetts' shores, as can be discerned from the exactitude of Dr. Henry Bond's graphic record:

1600s Watertown, Massachusetts

While widowed, before marrying Griffin Crafts, Ursula sold Watertown holdings consisting of "a dwelling house and 130 acres of land" (presumably Robinson's estate) on June 27, 1671.12

Ursula made Griffin Crafts a widower March 26, 1673, dying at the relatively young age of 53, having labored with steadfast perseverance to establish an unshakable legacy for her new nation.

Adams, Ursula (I32716)

7172

Ursula is reported to be the 3rd grandmother of Eli Whitney and the 7th grandmother of Percival Lowell (http://www.radix.net/~huston/familyweb/Henry__Adams.html).

She was the fifth child of nine of Henry and Edith (Squire) Adams, born July 19, 1619, in Somerset, England, near the southwest England Bristol Channel, just south of Wales.

She was nineteen, and her youngest brother barely nine years old when Henry Adams gathered his family and sailed for the New World on one of the probably nine ships from England that braved the north Atlantic in 1638.

She married a total of four times, surviving all of them, including Stephen Streeter, Samuel Hosier, William Robinson and Griffin Crafts.

She married Stephen Streeter in 1640 and were married for twelve years. They had seven children together, including one born after his death.

"Urslin Streeter," widow of Stephen Streeter married Samuel Hosier in Charlestown 13 October 1657. They had no children.

She married William Robinson, who died an untimely death in 1668 and married Griffin Crafts married in Dorchester, 15 July 1673.

Ursula died 20 February 1679.

Several dates for vital events in this family are reportedly found in a Streeter family Bible. In that record the death date for Griffin Crafts is given as 21 August 1690, whereas his death date from his inventory was given as 4 October 1689, and the inventory was taken on 27 November 1689, so the 1690 date must be wrong. The death date for Ursula Adams is recorded in the Bible as 20 February 1649, which is wrong by decades, and the year of death of 1679 is an editorial suggestion. (The original author notes that when the date of a vital event is found only in this Bible, then, it should be treated with some skepticism).

VA PROMINENT FAMILIES VOL 4 Chapt XII BOLLING FAMILY

For over a year Pocahontas was held as a hostage by Gov. Dale and lived in his family. During these months she proved a willing and apt scholar in many things. An old chronicle says quaintly, "When instructed in the Christian religion she made good progress and was baptized." While staying with Gov. Dale, she met a young Englishman, one Capt. John Rolfe, Gent., of the old family of Beacham Hall, County Suffolk, England. They were married at Jamestown, and, a year or so later, Capt. Rolfe took her to England, where she became the guest of the Virginia Company, was introduced at court and received marked attention from the Queen and her ladies. She was also "entertained with special and extraordinary state festival and pomp by the Lord Bishop of London." Imagine what the contrast must have been to her, taken from the wigwam of an Indian chief, to the palace of England's queen. Some one has said, "It was small wonder this wild flower of the wilderness drooped and died when transported to the hot bed of civilization."

The health of Pocahontas became affected by the excitement and strain of court life, and she pined for her baby boy. In 1617 Capt. Rolfe determined to return to America, and took passage on a vessel belonging to the Virginia Company, which was specially fitted up for the comfort of his wife; but on the eve of her embarkation, she died at Gravesend, and was buried under the chancel of St. George's Church, where the tablet erected to her memory and record of her death and burial may still be seen. On the tablet is inscribed, "Pocahontas Rebecca Rolfe, b. 1595; d. 1617, wyff of John Rolfe, Gent." At "Beacham Hall," Norfolk, England, there is a handsome portrait of her, painted in 1616, by de Passe.

The name of Rolfe is Danish and first occurs in history when Rolfe Kroke was King of Denmark. This special branch of the Rolfes are recorded as owners of Beacham Hall, County Norfolk, where they were living as far back as 1560. The first entry in the record is the marriage of Eustace Rolfe to Jener (Joanna). These were the grandparents of John Rolfe. The record further states that John Rolfe, son of John Rolfe and Dorothea Mason, was b. May 6, 1585. John Rolfe, Jr., was one of the prominent characters of his time, being the first Secretary of State and Recorder General of Virginia, also a member of the Royal Council for the colony. Thomas Rolfe, the only child of John Rolfe, Jr., and Pocahontas Rebecca, b. 1615 in the colony, after the melancholy death of his young mother was taken in charge by his uncle, Henry Rolfe, of London, by whom he was reared to manhood. In 1640, when he was twenty-five years old, he came to Virginia and took possession of his property, called "Varina," located some sixteen miles below Richmond. The Rev. William Stith, President of William and Mary College, speaks of him in his "History of Virginia" as "a man of distinction and fortune" in the colony. In Hening's Statutes we find the following entry, "And be it further enacted and granted that Left. Thomas Rolfe shall have and enjoy for himself and his heirs forever ffort James, ole Chickahominy ffort, with four hundred acres of land adjoining the same, with all the houses and edifices belonging to the said ffort, provided the said Left. Rolfe doe keepe and maintaine sixe men upon the place during the term and tyme of three years, for which tyme he, said Left. Rolfe, for himself and sixe men, are exempted from publique tax." That Thomas Rolfe should have been entrusted by the government with so important a position shows him to have been a man of high standing, possessing the confidence of the leading men of the time.

Lieut. Thomas Rolfe, b. 1651, son of Capt. John Rolfe and Pocahontas, married Jane Poythress, daughter of Lieut. William Poythress, of Jamestown, Va. They had one child, a daughter, called Jane Rolfe, who married (1675) Col. Robert Bolling.

Vaden origin
"...Henry I is the first documented member of the family in the colony in 1686. This was in old Henrico County, VA (now Chesterfield County). He later patented 800 acres of land in that county on the second branch of Swift Creek. Generally speaking they are of French Huguenot heritage and had been living in the Channel Islands for centuries, but may have spent some time in England before migrating to the colonies.

Vanlandi or Vanlande (Old Norse "Man from the Land of the Vanir") was a Swedish king at Uppsala of the House of Yngling in Norse mythology. He was the son of Sveigðir whom he succeeded as king. He married a girl from Finnland, but forgot about her. In revenge, the girl arranged so that Vanlandi was hag ridden to death. He was succeeded by his son Visbur.

Snorri Sturluson wrote of Vanlandi in his Ynglinga saga (1225) (note that the translator has rendered Finnland as Finland and Svíþjóðar as Sweden ):
Vanlandi hét son Svegðis, er ríki tók eptir hann ok réð fyrir Uppsala auð; hann var hermaðr mikill, ok hann fór víða um lönd. Hann þá vetrvist á Finnlandi með Snjá hinum gamla, ok fékk þar dóttr hans Drífu. En at vári fór hann á brott, en Drífa var eptir, ok hét hann at koma aptr á þriggja vetra fresti; en hann kom eigi á 10 vetrum. Þá sendi Drífa eptir Huld seiðkonu, en sendi Vísbur, son þeirra Vanlanda, til Svíþjóðar. Drífa keypti at Huld seiðkonu, at hon skyldi síða Vanlanda til Finnlands, eða deyða hann at öðrum kosti. En er seiðr var framiðr, þá var Vanlandi at Uppsölum; þá gerði hann fúsan at fara til Finnlands, en vinir hans ok ráðamenn bönnuðu honum, ok sögðu at vera mundi fjölkyngi Finna í farfýsi hans. Þá gerðist honum svefnhöfugt, ok lagðist hann till svefns. En er hann hafði lítt sofnat, kallaði hann ok sagði, at mara trað hann. Menn hans fóru til ok vildu hjálpa honum; en er þeir tóku uppi til höfuðsins, þá trað hon fótleggina, svá at nær brotnuðu; þá tóku þeir til fótanna, þá kafði hon höfuðit, svá at þar dó hann. Svíar tóku lík hans, ok var hann brendr við á þá er Skúta heitir. Þar váru settir bautasteinar hans.

Vanlande, Swegde's son, succeeded his father, and ruled over the Upsal domain. He was a great warrior, and went far around in different lands. Once he took up his winter abode in Finland with Snae the Old, and got his daughter Driva in marriage; but in spring he set out leaving Driva behind, and although he had promised to return within three years he did not come back for ten. Then Driva sent a message to the witch Huld; and sent Visbur, her son by Vanlande, to Sweden. Driva bribed the witch- wife Huld, either that she should bewitch Vanlande to return to Finland, or kill him. When this witch-work was going on Vanlande was at Upsal, and a great desire came over him to go to Finland; but his friends and counsellors advised him against it, and said the witchcraft of the Finn people showed itself in this desire of his to go there. He then became very drowsy, and laid himself down to sleep; but when he had slept but a little while he cried out, saying that the Mara was treading upon him. His men hastened to him to help him; but when they took hold of his head she trod on his legs, and when they laid hold of his legs she pressed upon his head; and it was his death. The Swedes took his body and burnt it at a river called Skytaa, where a standing stone was raised over him.

Snorri also quoted some lines from Ynglingatal composed in the 9th century:

En á vit
Vilja bróður
vitta véttr
Vanlanda kom,
þá er trollkund
of troða skyldi
liðs grímhildr
ljóna bága;
ok sá brann á beði Skútu
menglötuðr,
er mara kvalði.
And Vanlande, in a fatal hour,
Was dragg'd by Grimhild's daughter's power,
The witch-wife's, to the dwelling-place
Where men meet Odin face to face.
Trampled to death, to Skytaa's shore
The corpse his faithful followers bore;
And there they burnt, with heavy hearts,
The good chief killed by witchcraft's arts.
The Historia Norwegiæ presents a Latin summary of Ynglingatal, older than Snorri's quotation:

Iste [Swegthir] genuit Wanlanda, qui in somno a dæmone suffocatus interiit, quod genus dæmoniorum norwegico sermone mara vocatur. Hic genuit Wisbur [...]

He [Sveigde] sired Vanlande, who died in his sleep, suffocated by a goblin, one of the demonic species known in Norwegian as 'mare'. He was the father of Visbur, [...]

The even earlier source Íslendingabók cites the line of descent in Ynglingatal and also gives Vanlandi as the successor of Svegðir and the predecessor of Visbur: v Svegðir. vi Vanlandi. vii Visburr. viii Dómaldr.

Geographical note: According to the article Skuttunge in Nationalencyklopedin, the creek skutá passed its name onto the village of Skuttunge and the parish of Skuttunge (sv). The area does not only contain raised stones, but also 45 grave fields (most from the Iron Age), including a dolmen. The creek is today named after the village.

The area has undergone considerable Post-glacial rebound. Rising about 0.5 m each 100 years. This has significantly changed the position of the seashore, lakes, rivers and human settlements over time.

Virginia's Welcome for the Huguenots
This is part of a chapter of Colonial Men and Times, an out-of-print book which was written by Lillie DuPuy VanCullen Harper in 1915. The text is available at openlibrary.org*

The names of the boats of the French Refugees were: First, sailed from the Thames, England, in 1700, the “Mary Ann;”Second, the “Peter and Anthony.” Third boat, unknown and list lost in the Revolutionary War. Fourth boat, “The Nassau.” With Louis Latane, pastor. Each brought about two hundred. One hundred and thirty-three acres were given to each. The church, the parsonage, and the school house were built first, and a community of five hundred was organized.

By an Act of the Virginia Legislature in the year 1700, all those who had built houses near the town of Mannikin were formed into a district Parish, which received the name of King William’s Parish. Privileges and immunities were bestowed upon them to prevent them from dispersing and to induce them to remain united in the vicinity of Mannikin. They were exempted from all parochial contributions which weighed upon the English parishes. It was also declared they should be exempted from the general taxes of the province and from the private taxes of the county of Henrico. This was for seven years, but at the end of that time the Congress of Virginia renewed it.

Visbur or Wisbur (Old Norse "Certain/Undoubted Son") in Scandinavian mythology was a king of the House of Ynglings and the son of Vanlandi. He was burned to death inside his hall by the arson of two of his own sons in revenge for rejecting their mother and denying them their heritage. He was succeeded by his son Dómaldi.

Snorri Sturluson wrote of Visbur in his Ynglinga saga (1225):
Vísburr tók arf eptir Vanlanda föður sinn; hann gékk at eiga dóttur Auða hins auðga ok gaf henni at mundi þrjá stórbœi ok gullmen. Þau áttu 2 sonu, Gisl ok Öndur. En Vísburr lét hana eina ok fékk annarrar konu; en hon fór til föður síns með sonu sína. Vísbur átti son er Dómaldi hét; stjúpmóðir Dómalda lét síða at honum úgæfu. En er synir Vísburs váru 12 vetra ok 13, fóru þeir á fund hans ok heimtu mund móður sinnar, en hann vildi eigi gjalda. Þá mæltu þeir, at gullmenit skyldi verða at bana hinum bezta manni í ætt hans, ok fóru í brott ok heim. Þá var enn fengit at seið ok siðit til þess, at þeir skyldu mega drepa föður sinn. Þá sagði Huldr völva þeim, at hon mundi svá síða, ok þat með, at ættvíg skyldu ávalt vera í ætt þeirra Ynglinga síðan. Þeir játtu því. Eptir þat sömnuðu þeir liði, ok kómu at Vísbur um nótt á úvart ok brendu hann inni.

Visbur succeeded his father Vanlande. He married the daughter of Aude the Rich, and gave her as her bride-gift three large farms, and a gold ornament. They had two sons, Gisle and Ond; but Visbur left her and took another wife, whereupon she went home to her father with her two sons. Visbur had a son who was called Domald, and his stepmother used witchcraft to give him ill-luck. Now, when Visbur's sons were the one twelve and the other thirteen years of age, they went to their father's place, and desired to have their mother's dower; but he would not deliver it to them. Then they said that the gold ornament should be the death of the best man in all his race, and they returned home. Then they began again with enchantments and witchcraft, to try if they could destroy their father. The sorceress Huld said that by witchcraft she could bring it about by this means, that a murderer of his own kin should never be wanting in the Yngling race; and they agreed to have it so. Thereafter they collected men, came unexpectedly in the night on Visbur, and burned him in his house.

Snorri included a piece from Ynglingatal (9th century) in his account in the Heimskringla:

Ok Visburs
vilja byrgi
sævar niðr
svelga knátti,
þá er meinþjóf
markar öttu
setrs verjendr
á sinn föður;
ok allvald
í arinkjóli
glóða garmr
glymjandi beit.
Have the fire-dogs' fierce tongues yelling
Lapt Visbur's blood on his own hearth?
Have the flames consumed the dwelling
Of the here's soul on earth?
Madly ye acted, who set free
The forest foe, red fire, night thief,
Fell brother of the raging sea,
Against your father and your chief.
The Historia Norwegiæ presents a Latin summary of Ynglingatal, older than Snorri's quotation:

Hic [Wanlanda] genuit Wisbur, quem filii sui cum omni curia sua, ut citius hærenditarentur, vivum incenderunt. Cujus filium Domald [...]

He [Vanlande] was the father of Visbur, whose sons burnt him alive with all his hirdsmen, so that they might attain their inheritance more swiftly. His son Domalde [...]

The even earlier source Íslendingabók cites the line of descent in Ynglingatal and also gives Visburr as the successor of Vanlandi and the predecessor of Dómaldr: vi Vanlandi. vii Visburr. viii Dómaldr.
