1854 Dolley Madison, wife of James Madison, fourth president of the United States, died July 12, 1849. She was 81.

Madison was born Dolley Payne on May 20, 1768 in Guilford County, North Carolina. Her family moved to Philadelphia when Dolley was 15. She grew up in the rigid confines of the Quaker Society of Friends.

In 1790 she married John Todd Jr. They had two children. In 1793 her husband and one of their children died in a yellow fever epidemic.

She soon met James Madison, who represented Virginia in the U.S. Congress. They were married in 1794. Seventeen years older than Dolley, the couple would be married for 42 years, but had no children of their own. Dolley’s son, John Payne, would be the only child in the household.

When her husband became Thomas Jefferson’s Secretary of State in 1801, Dolley assisted in social events at the White House since Jefferson was a widower.

And when her husband became president in 1809, Dolley came into her own as a First Lady with both social and political skills. It is said that she could charm and appease statesmen, diplomats and politicians who were at odds with either the president or themselves.

When the War of 1812 resulted in the capital and the White House being ransacked and burned by the British, the story is told that Dolley was the cool head who tore the Gilbert Stuart painting of George Washington from its frame and took it with her as she fled the White House.

After their White House years, the Madisons returned to their plantation home in Virginia where they had seventeen years of retirement together. When her husband died in 1836, she moved back to Washington where she is reported to have had an active social life.

Her last public appearance was at a ball for President James Polk in 1848. Dolley Madison died in Washington on July 12, 1849. 
Payne, Dorothea Dandridge "Dolley" (I44890)
 
1855 Dolor Davis was born sometime before 1600, in Kent, England. He married Margery Willard in 1624 in England. Margery's brother Simon would become a lifelong friend of Dolor Davis. Nothing is known of him until he sailed to America in 1634. He quickly bought 25 acres (10 ha) of land on the west side of the river in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[1] On April 17, 1635, his wife and three kids arrived on the Elizabeth, and they decided to live in Cambridge. On June 4, 1635, Davis bought a lot of half a rood for a home, which was located on what is now the corner of Winthrop and Dunster streets.[2]

However, Davis and his friend Willard decided not to stay in Cambridge, like many of the settlers during the years of 1635-1636. In August 1635, Davis and Willard sold their land in Cambridge to Richard Girling.[2] It is unknown where Davis lived for next few years, but it was most likely Concord. He moved to Duxbury in 1638, and in 1638 tried to become a freeman of Duxbury, but was rejected.[3] During the year of 1640, Davis was granted 50 acres (20 ha) and land for his cows to graze. He became a member of the Duxbury Church in 1640 as well.[4]

Barnstable
In 1643, Davis moved again,this time to Barnstable. He and his sons appeared on a list of men in Barnstable between "16 to 60 years of age to bear arms".[5] In June 1645, he was sworn in as a member of the Grand Inquest of Plymouth Colony. He also tried to become a freeman, and a year later he became a freeman of Barnstable.[6] In 1652, Dolor Davis was chosen as a surveyor of highways in Barnstable. In 1654, he was then chosen to become the constable of Barnstable.[7] He continued to live in Barnstable and practice his trade as a carpenter until he left for Concord in 1655.

Concord
In 1655, Davis moved again, this time to Concord, Massachusetts, his home for the next 11 years. He bought 152 acres (62 ha) of land, in an assortment of different parcels, from Roger Draper of Concord.[8] This property soon became Davis's homestead in Concord. He also met up with his friend Simon Willard while he lived in Concord. In 1659, he was recorded as one of the landowners in Concord. Sometime during his stay in Concord, his wife Margery died. Alone, he left Concord in 1666 back to Barnstable. He spent his last years of his life in Barnstable, until he died in 1672.

Pronunciation of his first name
Dolor Davis's name is pronounced dollar. Throughout his life, the variations of his name are spelt Dolor, Dolar, Dolard, Dolord, Dolore, Dollard, Dolerd, Dollerd, Dollar and Dollar.

Marriage and children
Dolar Davis married Margery Willard of Horsemonden, Kent, in 1624. Margery Willard was born sometime around 1602, as that is when she was christened. They had six children, three who were born in England and the other three born in America. They were:

John, born 1626, England
Mary, born 1631, England
Elizabeth, born 1633, England
Samuel, born 1635, Cambridge, Massachusetts
Simon, born 1640, Massachusetts
Ruth, born 1645, Barnstable, Massachusetts

1868 DORA (BEER) ALTER cemetery #44

Death of Mrs. Alter is a Shock
Death on the eve of the holiday season has cast its pall on the home of Oscar A Alter, one of the city’s best known residents. Mrs. Alter’s death occurred at the hospital at 8:30 Saturday evening almost at the same hour that death claimed John Schuette, a relative of Mr. Alter. Although ill for some time, Mrs. Alter’s condition had becoming alarming
only during the past week and she had been at the hospital only ten days when the end came. The announcement of her death came as a shock to the community. Mrs. Alter, nee Dora Beer, was a lifelong resident of Manitowoc, having been born in this city September 8, 1860, in a building in the same block where, for 30 years, Mr. and Mrs. Alter have made their home, their residence at 813 York Street being directly opposite to the building in which Mrs. Alter was born. Decedent attended the local schools, graduated here and from the Oshkosh normal and for some years previous to her marriage was a teacher in the third ward and second ward schools. She was married in 1884 to Oscar A Alter, the husband who, with two sons, Erwin of L'anse, Mich., and Eugene of Milwaukee, survive here. One sister, Mrs. John Ornes of Minneapolis also survives. Mrs. Alter, while essentially a home woman, her home and family being her
first thought, had taken an active interest in literary work and particularly in the Clio Club of which she served as president for several years, retiring from active association only when her health failed her. She was charitable and for many years was prominently identified with the work of the South Side Ladies Aid of which she was also president for a number of terms. A woman of gentle refinement, quiet and unassuming, she was endeared to a circle of friends who knew her generous nature and high character and who sincerely mourn her loss with a deep sense of appreciation of her life and character. Her funeral will be held tomorrow, Tuesday afternoon, from the home on York
Street at 3 o’clock with the services conducted at the cemetery chapel by the Rev. M.S. Axtell. Mrs. William Borcherdt and Miss Mathilda Schmidt will sing.

1870 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. 
Bedell, Dorothy (I44529)
 
1871 Dr. John Woodson was born in 1586 in Devonshire, England. He matriculated at St. John's College in Oxford on March 1, 1604. He lived in Dorsetshire until 1619, when he and his wife Sarah decided to join an expedition to the new colony of Jamestown. On January 29th, 1619, the ship George sailed from England and landed the following April at Jamestown, Virginia. The ship carried Sir George Yeardley and a company of his men to the Virginia colony, where Sir George had been appointed the new governor. Among the passengers on the George was Dr. John Woodson, attached to Sir George's company as surgeon. His wife Sarah accompanied him, and was one of only a handful of women to voyage to the colony before 1620. At the time of their arrival the Jamestown colony was just over a dozen years old and numbered no more than 600 residents. Drought, disease, starvation, and war with the local tribe of Powhatan Indians meant that only about half the colonists who arrived between 1607 and 1624 survived.

Dr. John Woodson settled on Governor Yeardley's plantation, known as Flowerdew Hundred, which was about 15 miles up the James river from Jamestown. Dr. Woodson lived in a small, fortified compound on the plantation with about 10 other families. Dr. Woodson and his wife arrived at the start of the second major wave of colonists to Jamestown. Between 1619 and 1622, the number of colonists grew to about 1000. This tide of newcomers upset Chief Opechancanough of the Powhatan Confederacy of Indian tribes, who saw the influx as proof that the English planned to expand in to Powhatan lands.

The Massacre of 1622
On March 22, 1622 Chief Opechancanough launched a series of coordinated attacks on all the English plantations and towns developing around Jamestown. Powhatan Confederacy braves entered each settlement with trade goods, looking as if they wished to barter. When the colonists approached them, the braves grabbed any weapons or tools that were at hand and attacked the unprepared colonists. 347 people were killed, a quarter of the colony's total population. Only the most fortified positions survived. The fortifications at Flowerdew Hundred held and the Woodson family survived the attack.

The settlement at Flowerdew Hundred plantation was one of the few that was allowed to remain outside the walls of Jamestown after the 1622 attack. The next ten years involved attacks of retribution by the colonists. The time passed relatively peacefully for the Woodsons. Two sons were born to them, John in 1632 and Robert in 1634. In 1634 the colonists built a palisade defense wall across a six-mile wide strip of land between the James River and York River estuaries. This structure may have lulled the colonists in to a false sense of security. The Powhatan tribes were in no state to attack, having been nearly wiped out by English reprisal attacks. Emboldened, the colonists started building plantations outside the palisade around 1640. Chief Opechancanough was once again outraged by the English encroachment on his lands.

The Indian Massacre of 1644
An account of the Woodson family's ordeal during this attack was handed down through the Woodson family and first printed by a Woodson family genealogist in the early 19th century. On the morning of April 18, 1644, Thomas Ligon, a soldier in the Governor's employ, stopped by the Woodson's house seeking Dr. Woodson's services. Sarah Woodson informed him that her husband was out on his rounds through the nearby plantations, and Ligon elected to wait for the doctor to return. When Ligon saw the Indians approaching, he raised an alarm and told Sarah to hide inside with her two sons. Ligon grabbed his eight-foot muzzle-loaded rifle, and bracing his gun in the fork of a tree, fired on the approaching Indians. Meanwhile, Sarah gathered her boys together and desperately searched for a place to hide her 10 and 12 year old sons. She spied the root cellar where the family kept potatoes during the winter. She put Robert in the pit and covered it. Then she upturned a washtub and had John hide beneath it. With the boys hidden, she grabbed her husband's rifle and proceeded to load and fire upon the Indians from the window of the cabin. Before she could get off a second shot, the Indians had made their way around the back of the cabin and out of her sight. Then she heard sounds on the side of the cabin and on the roof. The Indians climbed atop the cabin and two of them attempted to come down the chimney. The fire had gone out, but she still had a pot of hot water sitting in the hearth. Thinking quickly, she upended the pot in to the fireplace just as the first Indian descended in to view, scalding his face. His companion then climbed out over his wounded fellow and came towards her. Sarah grabbed an iron roasting spit hanging next to the hearth and swung it at her attacker, knocking him senseless. Sarah grabbed her children from their hiding places and fled the house. She ran towards Ligon, who was still firing upon the Indians, who were now in retreat. Ligon struck another Indian as they fled. In total, he and Sarah killed seven of their attackers. As she watched the Indians flee back in to the woods, Sarah noticed a familiar horse wandering riderless through the field from which the Indians had attacked. It was her husband's horse. Running to it, she found her husband lying beside the road to their house, an arrow in his chest. He had evidently returned just as the Indians attacked, and having forgot his musket at home, was defenseless against them.

Dr. John Woodson was one of 500 colonists who died that fateful day in 1644. Although the number was even greater than that killed in the 1622 attack, it represented less than 10% of the colony's population in 1644. Nevertheless, the retribution by the colonists was severe. A counterattack on all the nearby Powhatan-allied tribes nearly wiped them out. In 1646 Chief Opechancanough was captured and brought to Jamestown. He was nearly 100 years old at the time. While being held at the stockade awaiting trial, he was killed by one of his guards in revenge for a family member killed in the 1644 attack. After the death of their leader, the Powhatan Confederacy fell apart, and the individual tribes were either confined to reservations or left the area.

Sarah Woodson remarried twice and outlived all her husbands. She died in 1660. Her sons both married and had large families. Their descendants passed on the story of Sarah saving her sons from the Indian massacre, and referred to themselves as being either "potato hole" or "washtub" Woodsons. The Woodson musket was also passed down from generation to generation, until in 1925 it was donated to the Virginia Historical Society, where it is on display in Richmond.

Dr. Woodson and Sarah were also one of the first recorded slaveholders in Colonial America. In 1619 a Dutch privateer ship called The White Lion, and an English privateer called the Treasurer, captured a Portuguese slave ship São João Bautista in the Caribbean. The privateers took the slaves aboard their ships and set sail for Jamestown to sell them to the colonists. The ships arrived at Point Comfort, on the James River, late in August 1619, with "20 and odd" Africans aboard the White Lion and at least a few more aboard the Treasurer. Dr. Woodson bought some of these Africans. In 1623 a census of the colony listed 23 Africans, six of whom appear in Dr. Woodson's household. Notably, Dr. Woodson's six African servants are the most of any colonist, and one of only two households that did not give names for their African servants on the 1623 census. The fact that all the other Africans listed in the census were named could be interpreted as them having been indentured at the time of the census, while Dr. Woodson's servants were slaves. This is similar to how slaves were counted but not named on future census. If so, then the record of Dr. Woodson's servants on this census could be considered the first recorded mention of African slaves in Colonial America.

It should be noted that in the early stages of Colonial America, Africans, though imported against their will, were not necessarily considered slaves as we understand it today. Instead, they were considered indentured servants, similar to poorer English who agreed to work off their passage to the colonies under the headright system. Several Africans were able to gain their freedom and become planters with headright contracts of their own. Anthony Johnson was one such man, transported prior to 1622. By 1651 he was a free man with 250 acres and five indentured servants of his own. But Anthony Johnson is the exception. By 1650 there was already some distinction made between indentured servants based on race. The records of the early colony in Virginia show a number of African indentured servants having "life terms" of servitude, while their white counterparts only served a limited seven-year term. This was the first step towards the racial, hereditary institution of slavery in America.

It is not clear what happened to Dr. Woodson's servants. There is no further record of them in his household (it is possible they were killed in the Indian attack of 1644). When Sarah died in 1660, her will did not mention any servants. Around 1670 the first laws defining slaves were enacted in the colony. When their son John Jr. wrote his will in 1699, he bequeathed several slaves to his children. The idea that one man could be another man's property was fully accepted by 1700 in Colonial Virginia.

1872 Dr. Joshua Irby (1666-1746)
Dr. Joshua Irby was the 3rd son of Dr. William Irby.
In 1688, Joshua Irby sued his older brother, William, for failing to give him his inheritance from his father, Dr. William Irby's estate, since the 1st of October (1687). It is likely that Joshua had just turned 21 at that time so he was probably born in October of 1666.

Joshua was a very unpleasant and cantankerous fellow. He seems to always either suing someone else or being sued himself.

He married Elizabeth Ludson in 1694. Somehow they managed to have 9 children together, 5 boys and 4 girls. Joshua didn't seem to have liked any of them very much.

They were:
Anthony (1696-1786)
John (1697-1761)
Sarah (1698-????)
Mary Ann (1701-1755)
Penelope (1703-1800)
Joshua(2), Jr. (Ted's 6th Great Grandfather) (1705-1755)Peter (1709-1794)
William (1710-1774)
Elizabeth (1718-????)

You can get a glimpse of his rather unpleasant personality from the numerous records of him that have survived.

In 1692, he was fined a shilling for swearing.

In 1716, James Westbrook appealed to the courts saying that he was a servant of Dr. Joshua(1) Irby and that he was being illegally held in bondage. Apparently, James was some kind of indentured servant. The court agreed with Westbrook and Joshua had to release him and pay him 5 shillings.

The next year, John Westbrook, James' brother, went to court again, this time on behalf of Henry and Margaret Westbrook, James Westbrook's brother and sister. He claimed that Joshua unlawfully was detaining them too and that he abused them in the most violent and gross manner. The court agreed and ordered them to be released.

Elizabeth Ludson Irby died in about 1720. A few years later, when he was about 60, Joshua(1) married a second time to a woman named Jane, last name unknown.

Joshua(1) lived most of his life in Prince George County, Virginia but, about 1721 after Elizabeth had died, he moved to Cedar Creek on the North Side of the Appomattox River in what today is Chesterfield County. He received grants for land where the Great Branch enters Waqua Creek in Brunswick County but does not appear to have ever lived there himself.

Apparently, Joshua didn't get along well with any of his children but really ticked them off when he wrote his will on August 28, 1745.

In that will, he left almost everything to his grandchildren and little or nothing to his own offspring.

His sons, John and Peter, and his daughters, Mary Ann (who had married Thomas Nathaniel Dewberry) and Sarah (who had married George Worsham, IV) received some land and a few slaves from the estate, but his grandchildren by Anthony, Mary Ann, and Sarah all received the bulk of his fortune.

He left his 5th son, William, a mere shilling.

He also left his son Joshua(2), Jr. one shilling and added that it was his desire that he be put out of his house by the end of November of that year.

He left his daughter, Penelope (who had married Nathaniel Parrot), the things that she already had and added that "is more than she does deserve".

The biggest blow came to his oldest son, Anthony, who was left absolutely nothing!

The will caused a huge uproar among those children who felt they had been cheated. William, his 5th and last son in particular, was so incensed that he sent his attorney, a certain Mr. Hayles, to court to stop the horrible will from being probated.

The court gave William a month to appear in court himself to show why the will should not be allowed. A month later he did just that, but not to the satisfaction of the court and the will was recorded.

Anthony, John, and Penelope hired their own lawyers to fight the will naming their stepmother, Jane Irby, as defendant. They all lost and the will stood as written.

1873 Dr./Rev. William A Anthony married Sarah Echols in 1824. He was 28 and she was 14. They had about 8 children. One daughter Sally was burned while lighting a lamp and died the next day in 1850. His wife Sarah died in 1853 of consumption. He moved to Marshall Co., MS, owned lots of land and died there in 1866. Anthony, Rev William A (I1523)

1879 Drury W James
Paso Robles founder: A vigilante, capitalist and Jesse James' uncle.
Oct. 1, 1987, article by Telegram-Tribune reporter Phil Dirkx:

Paso Robles remembers its three founders on Pioneer Day

PASO ROBLES — The original pioneers of this city were three 49ers — men who came to California in 1849 looking for gold. These three founders of Paso Robles were the stuff Western movies are made of. One was a vigilante leader. Another was a cattleman and the uncle of train and bank robber Jesse James. The other was a rancher and capitalist with several business interests. One of their contributions to Paso Robles was the downtown park, which will be the center of activities during the 57th annual Pioneer Day celebration Oct. 10. Two of Paso’s founders were brothers. Daniel D. and James H. Blackburn were born in Virginia and carpenters in Illinois before coming to California. Daniel Blackburn was also a partner in a meat-packing business in Illinois. The third founder was Drury W. James, a native of Kentucky and a veteran of the Mexican War.

All three came to California in 1849. Daniel Blackburn was 33, his brother James was 28, and Drury James was 22. The Blackburns came with several relatives and partners in wagons drawn by oxen. They arrived in August and mined for gold until November, with "astonishing success,” according to Myron Angel’s 1887 history of the county. The two brothers each left the gold fields with $3,000. They then went to Santa Cruz, where their older brother William, who came to California in 1845, was a judge and merchant. Daniel Blackburn went into farming here raising potatoes and other crops. His brother, James, built a sawmill and became a partner in a general store. When the store caught fire in 1856, James and his partner, Lazarus Godchaux, decided to put their money into land, which would not go up in smoke. So a year later, Godchaux and James Blackburn, along with brother Daniel, bought the 26,000-acre El Paso de Robles Rancho from Petronilo Rios for $8,000. It included all of what is now Templeton and Paso Robles, the land in between and the surrounding area. Daniel soon made himself a place in the history of this county by joining the local vigilance committee and being elected its sheriff in 1859.
The regular county sheriff stepped aside and let Blackburn and the vigilantes rid the county of some troublesome bandits, according to Angel’s history. “He (Blackburn) made many arrests of desperadoes, and drove the infamous Jack Powers out of the state,” the history says.

Drury James traveled to California in a different wagon train than the one the Blackburns had joined. He left the Missouri River April 1 and arrived at Hangtown (now Placerville) in August. He mined until the following spring when he began supplying beef to the miners. At first, he drove cattle from the Santa Clara Valley to the gold fields, and later from as far away as Los Angeles. He was on one of his cattle drives when he first visited the Paso Robles area. He camped by the bubbling hot sulfur springs, whose health-giving reputation later attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors to Paso Robles. In 1860, he and a partner bought 10,000 acres in the La Panza area near the Carrisa Plains, and stocked it with 2,500 cattle. Then in 1866 he became a relative of the Blackburns. He and Daniel Blackburn married sisters, Luisa and Cecilia Dunn, in a double ceremony at Mission San Luis Obispo. In the meantime, a bathhouse and hotel to house 50 guests had been built in Paso Robles near the hot springs in the vicinity of what is now the corner of 10th and Spring streets. At that time, Paso Robles consisted of a few little shanties, the hotel, the bathhouse, a stage coach barn and a few nearby houses, said Virginia Peterson, a Paso Robles historian. About 1868, Drury James was visited by his outlaw nephew Jesse, with whom he shared the same middle name, Woodson. It was just a social call. Drury James later denied knowing that his nephew was a wanted man. In 1869, Drury James bought a half interest in the Paso Robles hotel and bathhouse and the surrounding 4,300 acres. He also moved to the village that year.

James Blackburn, who never married, lived near what is now Templeton, ran 7,000 sheep, owned a hotel in San Luis Obispo, a dairy ranch in Cayucos, and had an interest in a butchering business in San Francisco, according to Angel’s history. In 1886, after hearing the railroad would soon reach the area, the firm of Blackburn Brothers and James laid out the city of Paso Robles. They threw a barbecue and auctioned the lots Nov. 17, 1886. A year or so later, the town’s population had grown to more than 500. Paso Robles became the second incorporated city in the county Feb. 25, 1889. About that time plans were announced to build a magnificent 3-story hotel, where the Paso Robles Inn now stands. Construction started then stopped. The brick building stood partially completed for months. Construction resumed the following year, but a new company had been formed to complete it: El Paso de Robles Springs Co. with Drury James as the major shareholder. James Blackburn had died in 1888. Daniel Blackburn was 74 and in failing health. He died in 1901.

El Paso de Robles Hotel opened Oct. 12, 1891, became a renowned spa and attracted guests such as pianist Ignace Paderewski and the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team. James, however, gave it up a few years after it opened. He moved to San Francisco in 1897 where he ran a rooming house, which was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire, Peterson said. He then bought a second home, which was also destroyed by fire. He died in 1910. El Paso de Robles hotel burned down in December 1940.

Two corrections have been made to the originally published story. One corrects the date of the El Paso de Robles fire, and the other identifies Paso Robles as the second city incorporated in the county. San Luis Obispo first incorporated in 1856; as the state Legislature changed rules, the town, then city, was forced to reincorporate at least two more times. Paso Robles was born March 11, 1889, less than three years after the arrival of the Southern Pacific railroad in that town.

1880 due to the persecution of the Huguenots, Pierre Chastainfled to Switzerland in the early 1690's. The 1693 Swiss census of refugees for the Baillage de Vevay lists him, as does the census of 1696. He is no longer listed in the census records after 1698 and apparently moved to Englnd for a period of about two years.
the ruling monarchs of England at that time were William and Mary who were anxious to plant colonies in the new world.
Chastain, wife and five children were among 207 Swiss and French passengers who embarked April 19, 1700 on the "Mary and Ann", George Haws, commander, which arrived at the mouth of the James River on July 23, 1700, after a passage of thirteen weeks. It appears that his wife (name unknown) and several children died on the boat or shortly after their arrival
On the swiss Refugee census and two Virginia records Chastain is referred to as a doctor.
