On 14 March 1634, at Mortagne, Guyon and his fellow-countryman Cloutier signed an undertaking with Robert Giffard. Guyon settled at Beauport that year with his wife and most of their children, of whom there were at least eight. When he received from Giffard an arriere-fief near the Rivière du Buisson, he assumed that nobiliary surname. Several of his descendants now bear the name Dion.

Dinah Meador, daughter of John Meador Sr and Mary Awbrey

Dinah was probably the first child of her father's second marriage, born about 1696-7 in Old Rappahannock County, Virginia and died between 1741/3 in Caroline County, Virginia. In her father's will of 1721, she was given only one shilling. Apparently this was because of her husband. Her mother, Mary (?) Awbrey was a daughter of Henry Awbrey, a wealthy merchant. Dinah was the sister of Jonas and Jason Meadors. Jason had land dealings with JEFFREY CROWLEY (sometimes shown as CRAWLEY).

Dinah married about 1720 to George Tribble of Essex, son of Peter Trible (Essex Will Bk 6:142 dated 6 Apr 1738; probated 16 Jul 1739). Peter Trible of Southfarnham Parish in Essex County owned land near the Road that led from Piscataway Ferry to the Ferry over Hoskins Creek. The John Burnett (I) family lived on Piscataway Creek and the John Gatewood family lived on Hoskins Creek with a ferry going between the two. John Burnett II married Amee Gatewood. The Meadors were friends and neighbors of the two families. George and Dinah was found living in Spotsylvania County, Virginia by 2 October 1722 when he witnessed a deed for Larkin Chew. One month later, George purchased 228 acres from Larkin Chew in Spotsylvania County, although George had bought property in King and Queen County, he was still in Spots. County where he witnessed several more deeds for Larkin Chew. Finally by 1725, he and Dinah were living in King and Queen County when he sold the Nov 1722 land he purchased from Chew and then followed other family members to Caroline County by November of the following year. At this time, "George Tribble was fined in court for not keeping his road in repair." Since Dinah's brother Jonas Meador was appointed to take over in George's place, Jonas and brother Jason were probably living in the same neighborhood. George and Dinah Trible appear together as witnesses to the will of Abraham Brown On 14 Sep 1735 (Caroline Court Order Bk 1732-1740, p.275).

Dinah died there between 1741 and 1744 as on the latter date, George Trible was married to Ann (last name illegible). Fearful that George would embezzle the estate of Ann's late husband, two of the administrators demanded extra security from George and Anne Trible (Caroline Court Order Bk 1740-1746, p.306 dated 11 Aug 1744).

There were several children of this marriage, including:

1) George Tribble II
2) Joseph Tribble
3) Dinah Tribble
4) Rev. Andrew Trible (Tribble) was born 1741 in Caroline Co, Va; married Sally Ann Burris. An "Old Ironsides" Baptist minister, he was a Chaplain in the Virginia Line during the Revolution. He died in 1822 in Clark County, Kentucky. His descendants are well documented by the Kentucky Historical Society (Register of the Kentucky Historical Soc, Vol 24:187).

Discussion from Genealogy.com
Regarding Story of Jane Bolling Clack

Jane Bolling as first or second child of Robert Bolling and Jane Rolfe would have been without a mother to care for her as an infant; Jane Rolfe Bolling died at childbirth of infant Jane or her brother. Father Robert would have been busy with duties in Virginia militia and rebellions, so both children probably were initially cared for by the local parish. When father Robert remarried, presumably he took back his son, but not daughter Jane, as her care probably was easier at the parish church. Also, sentiment in the area was strongly anti Indian. Robert Bolling needed to maintain political support; being father to an Indian child would have been unpopular. Letting baby Jane remain with the parish church to receive a "proper" Christian upbringing would have been deemed prudent. Thus Jane Bolling would have been raised in the parish church; sixteen years later the young woman raised by the church would have been a "perfect" wife for the just arrived Reverend James Clack from England, come to take over duties as the parish minister. Circumstantial, but compelling.

When Jane Rolfe Billing died, she had one child, a son; but may also have had an infant daughter as well. Robert Bolling later acknowledges a son, but no mention of a daughter is found in the records. The argument in support of the existence of a daughter includes circumstantial evidence and later testimony by descendants who would have had to have come from this Line in order to have been Pocahontas descendants.

It needs to be noted that circumstantial evidence needs to include consideration of the society and events at that time in Virginia. In the 1600's there was a large gap between European settlers, Christianity, and social norms vs. native American culture, beliefs, and practices. Col. Robert Billing held a position of authority in the Virginia colony, and the responsibilities of his position may have pushed him into making decisions that made him sacrifice his personal life and family duties to maintain his position in the community. There was conflict, Indian wars, and rebellion all at the time of the death of his wife (Jane Rolfe Bolling). There was a great deal of hatred and mistrust between the two cultures.

Pocahontas was required to convert to Christianity before her marriage to John Rolfe was allowed. Of the three generations of descendants of Chief Powhatan who lived in the new society, not the old (native American), the only one whohad lived a long life at that point, was Thomas Rolfe, who was totally isolated from native American culture since he was raised by his grandparents in England. The other two generations, his mother Pocahontas, and his daughter Jane Rolfe, lived in white society in Jamestown, but were clearly able to remain in contact with their native American roots. They both died very young.

IF in fact, Jane Rolfe Bolling left an infant son AND a daughter, the decision of who to raise these infants may have been a difficult one. If they were initially cared for by the local church, it is plausible that a decision was made that the daughter Jane should be cared for by the local church, so that she "would fit in better" as an adult, while the son would do fine with his father as a role model at home.

Given that later generations claimed to be descended from Pocahontas, and that all these individuals are descended from Rev. James Clack and his wife Jane; it is reasonable to conclude that Jane Clack was Jane Bolling Clack.

"Presumably her granddaughter, Sarah (Clack) Maclin, was reliably
informed concerning her grandparents and it is certain that she claimed
descent from the Bolling family and from the Indian chieftain, Powhatan,
and his daughter, Pocahontas. Abundant cumulative evidence in all the various branches of her descendants is to that effect. Many of her descendants, early as well as later ones, were given the names, Bolling, Powhatan, and, Pocahontas."

Rebecca was the name that the white settlers gave Pocahontas.
There were other names in their descendants Jane, Powhatan, Pocahontas, etc..

Disputed Origin and Wife

There are various internet claims that William Davis was either the husband or the son of Elizabeth Shelton. These claims are groundless, without any evidence to support them. Elizabeth Shelton (who definitely married a man named William Davis) may have been the Elizabeth Davis of Culpeper County who was granted letters of administration for the estate of her deceased husband William on 21 July 1763.[1]

It has been claimed that William Davis of Pittsylvania County married Susanna Wills (as his second wife) in 1772 in Halifax County, but that was a different William Davis, and court records in Halifax County show that this other William Davis was the guardian of Susanna’s son by her first husband for several years into the 1780s. Personal property tax records show two very different William Davises living in Halifax County around this time.

William Davis of Pittsylvania County is sometimes confused with a different William Davis of Lunenburg and Mecklenberg Counties, who married Jane Hopkins and left a will in 1801 -- this is clearly a different family.[2]

"Mr. William Chuck Davis [d. 1962, grandson of William, who was son of Thomas, youngest son of William who died 1791] said three Davis brothers came from Wales. One settled in Lunenburg County, Virginia and two from Mecklenburg, and from them three other brothers came to Pittsylvania County and settled. Two of them were our William, his brother, Noire and Thomas. Chuck believes our William and brothers were children of John Davis of Charlotte Court House."[3]

Chuck Davis was unaware that Noire Davis never lived in Pittsylvania County, but there was a John Davis in Pittsylvania County, living near William, with children intermarrying with the same families as William’s children, who could have been William’s brother. In addition, the claim that William had a brother Thomas leads to the question: Which one? There were two early Thomas Davises in Pittsylvania County: Thomas Davis the miller, revolutionary soldier, tavern-keeper, and resident of Stinking Creek; and Thomas Davis (who died in 1809) identified as “taylor” in the tax records.

It seems likely that William Davis, who first shows up in Pittsylvania County in March 1779 when he bought a mill and 850 acres of land, was the same as the William Davis who with wife Sarah sold 850 acres of land in Culpeper County three months before, in December 1778. Supporting this supposition is the fact that William’s eldest daughter Mary was the husband of George Myers, originally of Culpeper County, who first appears in Pittsylvania County in 1779, together with his neighbor William Davis. The year after William Davis appeared in Pittsylvania County, his son Benjamin joined a militia regiment made up primarily of Culpeper men.

William of Pittsylvania’s daughter Sarah had a son with the unusual given name of Graves. Speculation for further research: Several land records in Spotslyvania and Culpeper Counties show a connection between William Davis of Culpeper and a Graves family, leading to the supposition that William's wife Sarah was a daughter of John Graves, Jr. (died after 1772) of Spotsylvania County. There is one bit of contradictory evidence for this: William of Culpeper is reported to have signed various deeds with a rather common mark -- an "I" with a cross-hatch. However, William Davis of Pittsylvania is reported to have signed his will with a different mark -- a thick vertical bar.

The available evidence indicates that William's eldest daughter Mary married George Myers of Culpeper County around 1766, suggesting a birth year for Mary (and marriage year for William) in the late 1740s. George and Mary Myers' three eldest sons were witnesses to William Davis's will in 1790. George Myers first appears in the Pittsylvania County in 1779[4], the same year as his father-in-law and neighbor William Davis.

William Davis of Culpeper County
It appears that William Davis, who first appears in the Pittsylvania County records with a March 1779 purchase of 850 acres, is the same as the William Davis whose final appearance in Culpeper County was three months earlier, when he SOLD 850 acres in December 1778. This Culpeper County land was bought in 1761 as follows:

"17 August 1761 - DEED: Sarah Minor, widow and relict of John Minor, Gentleman, late of Spotsylvania County, Decd., and John Minor, acting executor of said Minor, Decd., to William Davis, planter, of Spotsylvania County, for £150, 850 acres in Culpeper County on both sides of North Rush River, being land purchased by John Minor, Decd., from Francis and John Strother, and devised by said Minor, Decd., to his son William, who has since died underage and unmarried... /s/ Sarah Minor, John Minor. Wit: John Waller (Clerk), Wm Davenport, Jno Arnold, Thomas Minor, J. Lewis, Thos Minor [sic], Francis Meriwether, James Graves."[5]

However, at least one researcher believes that this William Davis who disappeared from Culpeper County in 1779 is the same as the William Davis who settled in Garrand County, Kentucky before dying in Fayette County, Kentucky.[6] Another researcher suggests that this William Davis (d. 1823) was the son of Benjamin Davis (d. 1763) of King William, Spottsylvania, and Culpeper Counties. According to this theory, the John Davis who settled in Pittsylvania near William Davis (d. 1791) was a son of this Benjamin Davis.[7]

William Davis of Pittsylvania County
William Davis (d. 1791) first appeared in Pittsylvania County in 1779. There were two other William Davises who lived earlier in Pittsylvania County, and there were also two early William Davises in neighboring Halifax County. These various William Davises often get confused with each other.[8]

On 16 Mar. 1779 William Davis of Pittsylvania County bought 850 acres of land on both sides of the Bannister River and Cherrystone Creek, near Chatham in the middle of Pittsylvania County, from John Booth of Henry County, bordering land owned by Thomas Hardy, Sr., George Prosize, Robert Adams, John Short, John Parks, and Robert Wooding, for 1400 pounds.[9] This land included the “William Pigg” mill, which had been built in 1768.

The stone house that William Davis built on this land is still standing but is in bad repair; photos are on the internet.[10]

William Davis appears in the 1779 tithable list in Pittsylvania in a large household including Benj, Garret, and Daniel Davis, and negroes Lemus, Jim, Sue, and Filly. (Daniel appears in the 1778 list, apparently the first of the family to locate in Pittsylvania County. At least one of William’s sons named a son Garret, supporting the supposition that Garret was a son of William. Perhaps Garret and Daniel died in the Revolutionary fighting in 1780; many Pittsylvania militiamen took part in the military campaign in the Carolinas.)

William Davis patented an additional 400 acres on the branches of Bannister River and Cherrystone Creek, bordering the land of Thomas Hardy and Finney. A survey for this land was done 24 Apr. 1780[11], and he received the patent for the land on 1 Sept. 1780. (Another William Davis received land elsewhere in Pittslyvania County on the same day; this day appears to have been a busy one for clearing out a backlog of patent grants.)

A marriage bond was registered in Pittsylvania County on 16 Nov. 1781 for William’s daughter Sarah to marry Thomas Maide (who later spelled his name Meade); surety for the bond were Thomas Maide and Benjamin Davis (William’s eldest son).[12]

In 1782 the yearly tithable lists were replaced by personal property tax lists. In this year William Davis is shown with two “tithables” (white men over 21, presumably William and son Benjamin), nine slaves, four horses, and 16 cattle.[13]

The 1782 land tax shows William Davis with 700 acres,[14] which seems puzzling in light of his purchase of 850 acres (“more or less”) in 1779 and an additional 400 acres in 1780. William Davis gave land to his son-in-law George Myers (part of which was donated to the Upper Bannister Baptist Church),[15] so presumably this accounts for part of the discrepancy, as the 1782 land tax shows George “Miers” with 200 acres. Another possibility is that the total acreage that William bought in 1779 was exaggerated in the deed (indicated by the phrase “more or less”), to match the number of acres that he had just sold in Culpeper County. But this is just speculation; further research should be done in the land records to ascertain just what happened to the two tracts of land that William Davis bought.

William Davis doesn’t appear in the personal property tax records in 1783. Perhaps this was just an omission by the recorder.

In 1784 William Davis appears in the personal property tax list with two white men over 21 (William and son Benjamin), five slaves over 16; four slaves under 16; four horses, and 15 cattle.

On 17 May 1784, William’s son Benjamin entered into a marriage bond with Daniel Bradley, who married William’s daughter Elizabeth.[16]

The 1785 personal property tax list shows William Davis with two white men over 21 (William and son Benjamin), six slaves over 16, four slaves under 16, four horses, and 17 cattle. William had one additional slave and two more cows, compared to the previous year.

On 18 Feb. 1786 (recorded on the 20th), William Davis and John Davis of Pittsylvania County sold to Holt Richardson of King William County a Negro man named Ruben. Is this the same William Davis as the miller of Cherrystone Creek? And if so, who was this John Davis? A brother sharing an inheritance? Witnesses to the deed were Samuel Parks and John Bowden, and Samuel Parks would witness an 1786 deed from William Davis to his son-in-law Daniel Bradley (see below), and serve as surety in 1787 for the marriage bond of William Davis’s daughter Susanna.

The 1786 land tax shows William Davis with 700 acres, same as in 1782. William Davis was consistently taxed for 700 acres until his death in 1791.[17] The 1786 personal property tax list shows William Davis with two white men over 21, eight slaves over 16, ten slaves under 16, four horses, and 17 cattle. William had eight more slaves than the previous year. Had he recently come into an inheritance?

On 1 Dec. 1786 William Davis sold 100 acres on the north side of the Bannister River, "being part of the same tract whereon the said William Davis now lives," to his son-in-law Daniel Bradley.[12][18] Witnesses to the deed were Thomas H. Wooding, Samuel Parks, and William Ming.

On 19 Feb. 1787, Samuel Parks entered into a marriage bond with William Corbin, who married William Davis’s daughter Susanna. Together with the bond was a note by William Davis, witnessed by son Benjamin and by Samuel Parks, giving permission for Susanna to marry.

The 1787 personal property tax list shows that William Davis paid on April 18, with zero men over 21 (aside from William; the recordkeeping was strange this year), six slaves over 16, eight slaves under 16, three horses, and 15 cattle. William had lost four slaves, a horse, and two cows compared to the previous year. On Apr. 20 William’s son Benjamin paid his tax, showing zero men over 21 (besides Benjamin), 1 slave over 16, 1 slave under 16, and 1 horse. This accounts for the horse and two of the slaves. William’s new son-in-law William Corbin had a slave in 1787, perhaps a wedding gift from William.

The 1788 personal property tax list shows William “Davise” with one white male over 21, four slaves over 16, 1 slave 12-16, and four horses. (Starting this year, the number of cows wasn’t listed.) Benjamin “Davise” paid on the same day, with 1 white male over 21 and one slave over 16. John “Davise” paid on the same day, with one male over 21, one slave over 16, and three horses. This was presumably the John Davis who bought 200 ares on Green Rock Creek (near William Davis) on 1 July 1788, and NOT William’s son John. This John Davis appears in Pittsylvania County as early as 1782, but apparently didn’t own land until 1788. This John Davis had one slave until 1786, when he suddenly had four slaves and a stud horse (similar to William, who also shows a sudden influx of slaves in 1786.) John Davis had the same number of slaves (and the stud horse) in 1787, but in 1788, the year he bought the land, he was back to one slave (and no stud horse). Once again, it seems reasonable to speculate that this John was a brother of William Davis, and that it was these two who sold the slave Ruben to Holt Richardson in 1786 (see above).

The 1789 personal property tax list shows that William Davis paid on April 20, with two white males over 21 (presumably William and middle son John), five slaves over 16, and three horses. William’s son Benjamin had paid on March 16 (with one slave and one horse), the same day as John Davis (with one slave and three horses).

On 4 June 1789 John Davis (presumably William’s son who had recently turned 21) entered a marriage bond with William Rickett, who married William Davis’s daughter Nancy.

The 1790 personal property tax list shows that William Davis (“Cherrystone”) paid on March 15, with three white males over 21 (presumably William and sons Benjamin and John), six slaves over 16, 1 slave 12-16, and three horses. William’s son Benjamin wasn’t on the list this year, so I assume that he was one of the three men listed in William’s household. John Davis (“Cherrystone”) paid on the same day as William, with one male over 21, one slave, and two horses.

William Davis, of Pittsylvania Co., Virginia "being far advanced in life," made his will on 4 June 1790,[19] mentioning:
--son John (receives 3 head of cattle)
--son Benjamin (receives William's house and 150-acre plantation)
--son Joseph (also receives 150 acres)
--son Thomas (receives the rest of William's land, except one acre by the creek adjoining William's mill)
--daughter Nancy Rickett (receives a slave; the will mentions her husband William Rickett)
--daughter Peggy Davis (receives two slaves and a flock of geese)
--son-in-law Thomas Maide (the will cancels a debt owed by Thomas)
--son-in-law William Corbin (receives a slave and a feather bed, in consideration of a debt related to William's brother's will)
--sons Joseph and Thomas (mentioned again, now they receive William's mill with one adjoining acre of land)
--remainder of estate to be divided between youngest children Joseph, Thomas, and Lucy.
--son Benjamin instructed to rebuild the mill, keeping possession of the mill and slaves for three years and then distributing them according to the will's provisions
--single daughters to be provided for as long as they remain single
--if either son Joseph or Thomas dies before arriving unmarried at "lawful age," their share of the mill to go to the other brother
--son-in-law George Mires to receive nothing more than what he now has in his possession.
--son-in-law Daniel Bradley to receive nothing more than what he now has in his possession – the land he lives on.
--executors instructed to pay to Daniel Bradley the debt arising from William's executorship of his brother's will.
--William's friend John Parks and William's son Benjamin appointed executors.
--signed (with mark) June 4, 1790, and proved June 20, 1791.
--witnessed by William Miers, Jacob Miers, George Miers, Jr.

William's reference to his brother's will correspond to a legal action brought by Daniel Bradley against his father-in-law, which was dismissed in May 1790. The case arose against William as “executor” of the estate of his brother Noire Davis.[20] The name Noire Davis never appears in the land or tax or probate records of Pittsylvania County, so it seems clear that Noire lived elsewhere.

William Davis’s will was probated on 20 June 1791, indicating that he died sometime between March (the previous court session) and June 1791.

Children of William Davis (birth order is educated guesswork):

1. Mary, married George Miers or Myers. It appears that George Myers lived in Culpeper County from 1758 through 1770, according to a researcher who who states that the earliest record found for him in Pittsylvania County was in 1779.[21]

George Miers is listed with 200 acres in the 1782 Pittsylvania land tax.[22] George Miers is listed in the 1782 Virginia census with 9 whites and one black in his household.[23]

George Miers appears in the 1785 Pittsylvania County tax list (on the same page as his father-in-law William Davis and his brother-in-law Thomas Meade) with one adult slave, two horses, and 11 cattle. He appears in the 1788 tax list with 2 white males over 16, 1 adult slave, and two horses. (For this and most later years, the tax list doesn't show the number of cattle.)

In the 1789 tax list George "Myers" now has 4 white males over 16, 1 adult slave, and two horses. This corresponds to the three witnesses to William Davis's 1790 will being William Miers, Jacob Miers, George Miers, Jr. the three eldest sons of George. (The tax records for later years for George haven't been checked.)

2. Sarah, born about 1753,[24] married Thomas Maid (or Mead[25]), with the marriage bond dated 16 Nov. 1781 at Pittsylvania Co., Va.[26] Benjamin Davis was listed as surety on the marriage bond. If Sarah’s age was correctly stated in her 1843 widow’s pension application, she was close to 30 years old at the time of her marriage.

In 1816 Thomas Mead was one of the early settlers of Pike County, Indiana, where he was elected a Justice of the Peace in 1818.[27] Thomas Mead died in 1835 and left a will, which is now missing.[28] Sarah (Davis) Mead was still alive in 1844; all of her children in Pike County had predeceased her.[29] It is claimed that she was buried in the same cemetery as her husband, in an unmarked grave.[30]

3. Benjamin, born before 1757, a Revolutionary soldier,[31] married Lydia Meador (presumably a second marriage) 31 Jan. 1800. Lydia's father Joab Meador made his will on 25 Feb. 1815, naming his "friends" Benjamin Davis and Thomas Davis (together with two others) as executors.[32] Benjamin and Lydia had a daughter Nancy who married Samuel Thompson in 1822 in Pittsylvania County[33]; and Benjamin and Lydia's daughter Sarah married her first cousin Jamison Corbin.

4. Daniel, perhaps son of William, appears on the 1778 Pittsylvania tithable list; living with William Davis in 1779 tithable list.

5. Garret, presumably son of William, living with William Davis in 1779 tithable list. William's youngest sons Joseph and Thomas both named sons Garrett, supporting the supposition that Garret was son of William.

6. Elizabeth (Bettie), married Daniel Bradley -- marriage bond 17 May 1784; her brother Benjamin was surety.[34] It appears that Daniel Bradley was born in Cumberland County, son of Isham Bradley.[35] Daniel Bradley was born about 1757, and moved from Cumberland County to Pittsylvania County in 1783, per his 1832 revolutionary pension application.[36]

On 1 Dec. 1786 Daniel Bradley received a gift of 100 acres of land on the north side of the Bannister River by his father-in-law William Davis.[37] Daniel Bradley appears in the 1786 and 1787 Pittsylvania County personal tax lists (on the same page as William Davis), with one horse, two cows, and one slave under 16. In 1788 and 1789 Daniel Bradley appears with two horses and no slaves.

Daniel Bradley made his will 20 Aug. 1831 and it was probated 16 Apr. 1838. The will mentioned son Isham and "my daughters." The executors were his sons-in-law Reuben Hall and William Chaney. Witnesses were Thomas Wooding, Thomas Davis, Jr., and Lydia Davis.[38]

7. Nancy, married William Ricketts 4 June 1789. Nancy was his second wife; he had four children by his first wife Barsheba Nelson.[39] William and Nancy Ricketts had children Reuben, Nancy, Nathaniel, and Thomas.[40]

8. John, apparently born around 1768, if he was indeed the extra adult male in William’s household per the 1789 personal property tax list. John was mentioned first in his father's will, receiving three cows and no land. Some researchers have assumed that John was the same as the John Davis who married Nancy Hodnett 26 Sep. 1803 in Pittsylvania County. This is false, as the John Davis who married Nancy Hodnett was clearly identified as “Jr.” – apparently the son of William's presumed brother John Davis who lived near William and later moved to Pigg River.

9. Susanna, married William Corbin 19 Feb 1787; she was under age at the time of her marriage (her father William gave consent). William Corbin appears in the Pittsylvania County personal tax lists in 1788 and 1789, but I didn't find him in 1790 or 1791. William died before July 1801, when his father Ambrose Corbin was appointed guardian of William's children Jamison, Thompson, and Mary Corbin.[41] Jamison Corbin married his first cousin Sarah Davis, daughter of Benjamin.

Susanna Davis, widow of William Corbin, married (2) William Nelson, whose sister Barsheba was the first wife of William Ricketts, husband of Susanna Davis's sister Nancy.[42]

10. Peggy (Margaret), m. Moses Cheney 15 Aug 1791. "Moses Chaney, the son of Sarah and Jacob Chaney (Chapter I), settled two miles southeast of Laurel Grove, Virginia, on the place now owned by Witcher Slayton. Moses married Margaret Davis, and to this union were born six children. Their names were as follows: William, Singleton, Bird, Moses, Betty and Sallie. Margaret died and after her death Moses married Sallie Polly, a widow, whose name was Haley. To this second union were born two children, Jackson and Eleandor, Moses was a farmer by occupation."[43] Moses Chaney's sister Elizabeth married Jonathan Davis, from a different Davis family in Pittsylvania County.

11. Joseph, b. about 1771 (underage in 1790 per father’s will, he first appears in the Pittsylvania personal tax lists in 1793), m. Lucy McGehee Hodnett 19 Mar. 1793 Pittsylvania Co., Va., d. 1 Oct. 1850 at Halifax Co., Va. It appears that several children of Joseph moved to Madison County, Tennessee.[44]

12. Thomas, b. about 1773 (underage in 1790 per father’s will, he first appears in the personal tax lists in 1794), m. (1) Jane Hodnett 13 Jan. 1794 Pittslyvania Co., Va.; m. (2) Sarah Meador 8 July 1797 Pittsylvania Co., Va. Thomas was a prosperous miller and landowner in Pittsylvania County. Children by second wife Sarah Meador: --Garrett B.; m. Anna Thompson 1 Oct. 1822 Pittsylvania Co. --William, b. 13 Apr. 1800; m. Carmelia Craft 24 Oct. 1824 Pittsylvania Co. --Mary Taylor, b. 1803, m. Robertson Shelton 3 May 1819 Pittsylvania Co.[45] --Thomas C., b. 1805, m. Elizabeth Sheppard 22 Nov 1824 Pittsylvania Co.

13. Lucy, married John Hodnett 9 Nov 1792; apparently m. (2) Jessee Woodson 1809.[46]

Dissident Preacher and Writer. Fellow of Queens College, Cambridge.

Stoughton matriculated pensioner from Trinity College, Cambridge in 1573, received his B.A. from Queens College 1577, his M.A. 1580. He was ordained deacon and priest at Lincoln Cathedral on Feb. 13, 1582, and was brought to the attention of Robert, 3rd Lord Rich by John Butler of Thoby Priory, Essex, and continued to benefit from Rich's patronage for many years. He was rector of Naughton from 1586 until 1594, at which time he was made curate of Great Burstead, Essex. He published A general treatise against poperie, and in defence of the religion by publike avthoritie professed in England and other churches reformed (Cambridge, 1598), which was dedicated to Lord Rich. In 1600 he was instituted vicar at Coggeshall at Lord Rich's presentation, but due to his nonconformity he was admonished by Bishop Richard Vaughan and deprived of Coggeshall by the High Commission in 1606. Despite being removed from his living it was reported in 1606 that he 'doeth often expound the Word in his deske'. In 1610 at Great Totham, Essex, he signed the dedicatory epistle to his work The dignitie of Gods children. By 1616 he had returned to his native Sandwich, where he remained living in poverty until his death. He continued to expound on his beliefs, publishing Two Profitable Treatises in 1616, followed up in 1622 with The Christians Sacrifice, a text of some 251 pages, which was dedicated to his patron, who had since purchased the title Earl of Warwick. He signed the dedicatory epistle to this on 20 Aug. 1622 from 'my poore lodging in the poor Hospitall called S. Bartholomewes by Sandwich in Kent', and further stated he was now 'ready to be dissolved, and to laye down my earthly Tabernacle...the time of my departing being at hand...' Two days later he appended the work with The Authors postscript to his Children as it were his Last Will and Testament unto them.

At the end of his life he recalled being present at Hampton Court 43 years earlier, where he heard ministers preaching before Queen Elizabeth.

In 1606 Stoughton was a legatee, along with others, in the will of Timothy Saint Nicholas, who 'moste humblie thanckinge them for their faithefull endeavor and for their earnest labour and paines for the instruction of my conscience and the consciences of many men in the knowledge of Gods truthe and relligion'. Described as 'a silenced preacher', he received a bequest in the 1610 will of Alice Wade of Bildeston, Suffolk, and in 1612 was mentioned in the will of his first cousin Thomas Stoughton of St Paul's Parish, Canterbury. In the 1619 will of Charles Eure, esquire, fourth son of William, 2nd Lord Eure, Stoughton being described as of St Bartholomews in Sandwich, Kent, received the generous bequest of £10.

Divorce from Pietersen Tack

Records of the New Amsterdam CouncilTaken from a transcript of the original record, indexed in the 'Calendar of Historical Manuscripts'
"(August 21, 1664) Shews in all humility, Annetken Adriaens, having married one Aert Pietersen Tack, who has not hesitated to marry another woman at Amsterdam, in Holland, as has been shown more fully to your honors by petition and the affidavits attached thereto, for which reason the honorable fiscal, Nicasius de Sille, ex officio, has caused the said Aert Pietersen Tack to be summoned on three regular court days, the last time having been on Thursday last past, to appear on a suitable day before you honors to hear the marriage
contracted between the petitioner and the aforesaid Aert Pietersen Tack declared dissolved and the petitioner placed in her former free state, in which matter the aforesaid Aert Pietersen Tack has until this day remained contumacious, having failed to appear to justify himself, therefore, the petitioner turns to your honors with the humble request that your honors may be pleased, for the reasons above mentioned, to declare the marriage contracted between the petitioner and the said Aert Pietersen Tack dissolved and the petitioner placed in her former free state and authorized to marry another man, with condemnation that Aert Pietersen 'Verte'(top lines on p. 292 destroyed)

your humble ( )
Endorsed:
Petition der Anneken Adrjans
contra Aert Pietersen Tack (one or two lines destroyed)

for which reason Anneke Adriaens, his lawful wife, has requested of your honors letters of divorce and permission to marry another person, whereupon, before consenting thereto, the fiscal was ordered on July 31st last to have the aforesaid Aert Pietersen Tack summoned three times by the ringing of the bell to appear in person to hear and to answer, if he can, such complaint and demand as the injured party and the fiscal as her attorney shall make, which summons not only was proclaimed by the beating of the drum in the village of New Haerlem, and whereas nevertheless Aert Pietersen Tack failed to appear and remains contumacious, finding himself unable to defend, justify or purge himself; therefore, the fiscal, nomine offiocii, concludes that the first wife, Anneke Adriaens, must be granted letters of divorce and permission to marry another man, and furthermore that the fiscal and all other officers of justice should be authorized to arrest the defendant, Aert Pietersen Tack, and to confine him here in a proper place of detention, to be taken to the place where it is customary to execute justice, in order to be severely flogged with rods, having two distaffs above his head, and further to be branded with two marks on his back and to be banished from this province. Done at Fort Amsterdam, the 21st of August, 1664.
