| 2105 | First Settler of Concord Mass Moses Wheat Exactly when Moses Wheat came to America is unknown, but both he and his brother Joshua arrived in Concord in time to be among the first fifteen settlers of the village. The average size of the home lots was ten acres. Moses Wheat's lot of sixteen acres was the largest in the village. It is inferred that his original lot contained but ten acres, and that Joshua's lot of six acres was adjacent to it , giving Moses sixteen acres when the two lots were united. Larger tracts of land could be acquired outside the village, and Moses Wheat continued to add to his holdings from time to time until he had 339 acres in twenty-three separate allotments. Besides this he secured his brother Joshua's six acre houselot, and bought land of two of his neighbors. He moved from the village and resided on Bedford Road about two miles east of the church. Moses Wheat was made a freeman, 18 May 1642. He was tithingman at church and kept people awake during the long sermons that Puritan ministers were fond of delivering. He signed his name, not his "mark". He may have composed his will and written it with his own had. The document bears internal evidence that it was not written by a professional schrivener. But whatever were his attainments he neglected his children's education. Only two ot them, Samuel and Moses, could sign their names. The character of Moses Wheat was of a positive type. On the bank of the Thames, an outspoken Puritan; in Concord, a man of rigid conscience and iron will, but not vindictive; in controversy, discreet. He remained in Concord through all the bitter doctrinal strife which rent that little community and drove half it's families into exile. From one point of view he was a land miser, ever getting, but never selling; denying his children an education and forbidding them to marry in order to keep them at home and thus aid in increasing the estate instead of reducing it by division. Several of his children could not sign their names. The son who married received by his father's will but five pounds, while three others received together more than 330 acres of land with buildings and stock. The daughters who married received five pounds each, while their unmarried sister received 50 pounds. From another viewpoint he was an excellent provider, having the most productive farm and the best house, team, wagons and implements in the neighborhood--a man who took pride in himself, his property and his family, with, possibly, the fault of putting property before family, and of including both within the corporate entity SELF, forgetting that his children would be far happier if allowed or assisted to set up homes for themselves. But many fathers in all times and places have had this fault. The failure to educate one's children was only to common a fault in his day. The unequal division of property in his will may not be a sign of displeasure with those who married, for they may have received gifts at the time of their marriage, and they were apparently prosperous at the writing of the will; besides, the unmarried sons and daughter had remained at home more than twenty years helping to acquire and improve land. By giving the estate mainly to them he was only just. It may have been mere chance that the three marriages took place within a few weeks: Sarah, 27 May, Joshua, 10 June, and Hannah, 20 October 1675. Their father has left on record no word or sign that can be taken without reservation as a token of displeasure with their act, yet one cannot fail to "read between the lines" of the will. | Wheat, Moses (I43121)

| 2106 | FIRST SETTLERS OF WINDSOR, CONNECTICUT http://home.everestkc.net/4dbteague/FirstSettlersofWindsorCt.html This house is located at the southeast corner of the once- palisaded area of the Windsor settlement. Built by Lt. Walter Fyler in 1640. He and other family members came to America from Plymouth England in 1630 on the ship "Mary and John". They settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts Colony. In 1634 they moved to Windsor. CT. Lt. Fyler received the piece of land on which the house sits for his services in the Pequot War, 1636-1638. The house is perhaps the oldest frame building in the state of Connecticut, being built by Lt. Fyler in 1640. The original building was of the one-room, end-chimney type. The owner died in 1685. Succeeding generations of Fylers lived in the house until 1773 when a sea captain, Alexander Allyn, purchased the house. In fact, many sea captains owned houses near the Green. Windsor was a port of entry and at times six or seven vessels would be tied up waiting to be loaded or unloaded. The house faced the original Boston Post Road and served at one time as the Windsor Post Office. Today the house is connected by a breezeway to the Wilson Museum, a local historical museum. Among the many items here, be sure to see the order of payment to General Israel Putnam for his wages for the marched relief of Boston in April 1775 during the American Revolution. Dur ing the year 1631, Wahginnacut, an Indian sachem from the Connecticut River, visited the governors of Massachusetts and Plymouth colonies, in order to induce emigration to the Connecticut valley from both these colonies. The reason the Indians asked the settlers to go into Connecticut was for protection and defense against their enemies, the Pequots, who made war with them. So William Holmes was selected by the governor of Plymouth to build a trading house in Windsor. He took with him the frame of the trading house all fitted and all the mateials which would be required to complete it. In June, 1635, the pioneers of the Dorchester company came to Ct. and prepared to settle near the Plymouth trading house. The main body of the Dorchester people followed on the 15th of Oct. 1635. They were organized as a church in England and came overseas together on a ship called "Mary and John" in 1630 Their household goods & provisions were sent around by water, and 60 persons, among whom were women and little children, began the slow & wearisome journey through the wilderness to the distant settlement. They drove their cattle, horses, & swine before them, and the frosts & snows of winter were hard upon them ere they reached their destination. The river was frozen over by the 15th of Nov., and the vessel containing their goods had not arrived. The winter which followed was marked by great suffering. They had insufficient shelter for themselves and their animals, and they could get but part of the latter across the river. On the 26th of Nov. 13 of them resolved to return to Massachusetts. One of them fell through the ice & was drowned; the rest reached Dorchester in 10 days. Those who remained in Ct. suffered extreme destitution, being obliged to live on acorns, malt & grains. Winthrop tells us that they lost nearly 2,000 lbs. worth of cattle. Most of this first party returned to Dorchester in the small vessel “Rebecca”, which had providentially appeared. But, nothing daunted, in the spring of 1636, they set out again with Mr. Warham, the junior pastor of the church, and a large part of its members. With those from Dorchester there came others from Cambridge and Watertown. THE MEMORIAL HISTORY OF WINDSOR CONNECTICUT, by J. Hammond Trumbull First Settlers of Windsor, Connecticut Recorded in the Town Records of 1640, five years after their removal from Dorchester. The following ancestors were among those listed.

| 2109 | Five years after the capture of Quebec by General Wolfe, and one year after the signing of the Treaty of Paris, which put an end to the French and Indian War, and established English supremacy on the American continent, a child was born in Washington County, in the province of Maryland, that was destined to become the pioneer head of a numerous family in the settlement of a region of country which at that time was unknown. The name of this child was Christian Rohrer and he was just one year old when the notorious “Stamp Act” was passed by the English parliament. His parents came from Germany, and although their son, Christian was born in America, they spared no pains in teaching him to speak and write the language of his forefathers. This was a wise thing to do, and should never be neglected by foreign-born patents (especially German) in the education of their American-born children. Its value in after life— especially in business pursuits—cannot be over-estimated.[1] Christian Rohrer married Varonica Rehmein, who did not long survive her marriage. After her death he married Anna Baumwart for his second wife. Mrs. J. B. Davis, of Port Rowan, a descendant of Christian Rohrer, is in possession of two old records which certainly are deserving of a place in some museum of antiquities, these relics are more than a hundred years old; but it is the odd and wildly fantastic attempt at ornamentation that characterizes them rather than their age. It is a print, or stamp, in high colors; and at first sight, remind one of pieces of old, highly-colored wall paper, representing the birds and foliage of some unknown planet far removed from earth. The pages are about sixteen inches square, and contain a number of small blanks on which are German inscriptions. They are old family-record designs, but the blank spaces are filled with matter that furnishes no family historical information except the date and place of Mr. Rohrer’s birth, and the fact of his marriages. As to the date of Christian Rohrer’s settlement in Walsingham, there is nothing definite. Simpson McCall, Esq., says that Rohrer and Dedrick were living there when his grandfather landed at the mouth of Big Creek in 1796, and that each had a piece of wheat which had been sown the previous fall.[2] If this be correct, the Rohrers were among the first—after Dr. Troyer—in effecting a settlement in the township of Walsingham. Mrs. Rohrer was a Baumwart (Bower), and her family came subsequently. Christian Rohrer had twelve children. By his first wife he had two—Martin and Fanny; and by his second wife he had ten—Henry, Mary, Margaret, Elizabeth, Catherine, Daniel, John, Susan, David and Jacob. Martin Rohrer never married, and Fanny married a man named Garrett, and settled in Bayham.[3] Henry Rohrer, second son of Christian, married Eleanor McCleish, and settled in Walsingham. He had five sons—Daniel, John, Henry, Wallace and David; and five daughters—Susan, Ann, Frances, Jane and Amelia.[4] Daniel Rohrer, third son of Christian, married Jane McCleish and settled in Walsingham. He had eight children—Martha, Orineus, Catherine, Phoebe, Mary, Susan, Amy and Stephen.[5] John Rohrer, fourth son of Christian, married Mary Edwards, and settled in Nissouri. One son of this family, Jeremiah, settled in Norfolk.[6] David Rohrer, fifth son of Christian, married Mary Ann Williams, and settled in Walsingham. They had one son, John and four daughters—Elizabeth, Eliza Jane, Almira and Melissa.[7] Mary, Margaret, Elizabeth, Catherine and Susan, daughters of Christian Rohrer, married, respectively James Price, Philip Underhill, David Underhill, Luke Dedrick and Titus Williams. They all settled in Walsingham.[8] In Philip Underhill’s family were three sons—John, William and Edward; and two daughters— Mary and Nancy. The descendants of Christian Rohrer are very numerous in Walsingham. The females have largely outnumbered the males, and the name, therefore, as it appears on the voters’ lists of the township, is no indication of the numerical strength of the family. As voters they may be outnumbered by some of the other old families, but a roll-call of the wives and mothers of Walsingham’s voters, through whose veins course the Rohrer blood, would show not only the numerous strength of Christian Rohrer’s descendants, but it would also show their superior industrial and moral qualities. In 1891, the autographs of seventy-six Rohrers, all living in the township of Walsingham were obtained by a member of the Illinois branch of the family. Of course, the larger portion were girls attending the township schools, who will become wives and mothers in other families, thereby losing their own family name. Henry Baumwart was a brother of Mrs. Christian Rohrer. Mr. Baumwart, no doubt, came from near the same place his brother-in-law came from,[9] although it is said he was a Pennsylvania Dutchman. He came after Mr. Rohrer, but just how long after there is no evidence to show. He settled on Lot 12, Concession A, Walsingham between Port Rowan and Port Royal, He had four sons—Frederick, Henry, Jacob and David; and four daughters—Mary, Catherine, Elizabeth and Susan.[10] Frederick Baumwart, eldest son of Henry, married Fanny Becker, and settled in the family neighborhood. He had one son, John and four daughters—Margaret, Maria, Catherine and Susan. Henry Baumwart, second son of Henry, was twice married. By his first wife, Nancy Foster, he had one son, Isaac, and four daughters—Mary Ann, Elizabeth, Anise and Laura. His second wife was Rachel Huff nee Smith, daughter of the old pioneer athlete, William Smith. By this union he had several children who, after his death, settled in Michigan with their mother. When war was declared in 1812, Henry Baumwart had no inclination to take up arms against the land of his birth, and he left Canada, remaining away for several years. He returned, however, and ever after was a firm believer in the superior advantages which his adopted country possessed over the land of his birth in the development of a moral, law-abiding and God-fearing citizenship. Jacob Baumwart, third son of Henry, married Sarah Smith, and settled on the homestead. He had one son, Owen; and two daughters—Susan and Mary. Owen succeeded to the homestead. Mary married Lot Spencer. David Baumwart, youngest son of the old pioneer, married Julia, daughter of Oliver Mabee, and settled in Charlotteville. By this marriage he had two sons—Henry and Gideon; and four daughters—Rebecca Ann, Mary Jane, Rachel and Julia. Subsequently, he married Mary Frances, by whom he had two sons—Gabriel and David; and one daughter, Eliza.[11] Susan Baumwart, daughter of the old pioneer, married Eber Decew; and her sister, Catherine, married Isaac Decew. The names of their children are given in the Decew genealogy. Elizabeth Baumwart, the third daughter, married William Ferris, and settled near Port Colborne, where she raised a family of five sons—William, Owen, Isaac, Joshua and John; and five daughters— Susan, Hannah, Mary, Elizabeth and Sarah. Mary Baumwart, the eldest daughter, married into the Rohrer family.[12] The Dutch form of the family name has been discarded, and the Anglicized form—Bower— adopted in its stead. The pioneer head of the family died at the beginning of the second quarter of the century, and his widow survived him several years. [1] Christian Rohrer was noted to be born at Hagerstown, Maryland on August 12, 1764 in Montross: A Family History, p. 146, by John and Eva Taylor (Stanton, VA: 1958) [2] It is unlikely that Christian Rohrer planted a field of wheat in Walsingham Township in the fall of 1795. The 1852 Censuses of Bayham and Walsingham Townships indicate that Christian’s children Frances (Fanny) and Martin were born in the United States in 1795 and 1797 respectively. More possibly, Christian came to Walsingham with his second wife’s parents soon after April 1801. [3] Frances (Fanny) Rohrer married Benjamin Garrett and they were recorded in the 1852, 1861, and 1871 Censuses of Bayham Township, Elgin County. The couple was buried in Straffordville Cemetery, Bayham Township. [4] There was a may Rohrer, born on 4 Jul 1832 recorded in the 1852 Census of Walsingham Twp. The name of her father has not been learned but Henry Rohrer was the only one married by 1832. Mary’s marriage to Joseph White on 22 Jul 1853 was recorded in the Talbot District Marriage Register. They farmed in Walsingham Township recorded in the 1861, 1871 and 1881 Censuses. [5] In Montross: A Family History Jacob Lorenzo Rohrer, born on 12 Oct 1850, died on 19 Jul 1853 is included in this family. [6] Before settling in Nissouri Twp., John Rohrer and his wife Mary Ann Edwards lived in Lobo Twp., Middlesex Co. where they were recorded in the 1852 Census. Their children named in the Census were Alex, J. (Jeremiah), Wm. W. and H. (Henrietta). Other children buried in First Lobo Baptist Church Cemetery: James (died 17 Feb 1843) and John Henry (26 Oct 1847 to 26 Jul 1849). Mary Ann (Edwards) died on 11 Jan 1853 and John Rohrer then married Sarah _______ and had George W., Mary Ann and Martha [7] Owen has David Rohrer confused with Christian’s youngest son Jacob Rohrer whose name he omitted. David Rohrer’s marriage to Sophronia Troyer was recorded in the Talbot District Marriage Register. They lived in Houghton Twp. then moved to Illinois. They had a daughter Aboreta Rohrer Buffett who, as a widow, was living with her mother in the 1880 Census of Annawan, Henry Co., Illinois. According to Troyer family information there may have been two more daughters whose names have not been learned. Christian Rohrer’s youngest son Jacob Rohrer married Mary Ann Williams (Talbot District Marriage Register) and they lived out their lives in Walsingham Twp. Their children in the 1852 Census: John, Elizabeth and Eliza J. Additional children in the 1861 Census: Almira and Melissa. There was an older son John Rohrer before the one mentioned in the censuses who died young and was buried in Johnson Cemetery, St. Williams. [8] The husband of Elizabeth Rohrer was Daniel Elnathan Underhill. They were recorded in the 1852 and 1861 Censuses of Walsingham Twp. then moved to Warwick Twp., Lambton Co. where they were recorded in the 1881 Census. The couple was buried in Beechwood Cemetery, Forest, Lambton Co. [9] This was probably Washington County, Maryland on the Pennsylvania line, a jurisdiction disputed by both colonies for many years. The term “Pennsylvania Dutch” is recognized as being originally “Pennsylvania Deutch” for the Palatine German and the Germanic Swiss immigrants who populated the colony under the sponsorship of William Penn. [10] Henry Baumwart and his family came to Norfolk after 11 Apr 1801 when his son David was born in Washington Co., Maryland and before 9 Mar 1803 when he served as a Traverse Juror on the London District Court. There were more children in Henry Baumwart’s family baptized in the German Reformed Church, Hagerstown (formerly Elizabethtown), Washington Co., Maryland and all of whom apparently died young: Elisabetha, on 25 Jan 1780, Henrich baptized there on 24 Feb 1782, Johannes baptized on 17 Apr 1786, another Henrich, baptized on 3 Aug 1789. Family records also mention a daughter Sarah, born c. 1795 and two sons Andrew and Michael, both born in 1796. [11] In the 1852 Census of Charlotteville Twp. and additional daughter Lydia aged 18 was recorded in the family of David Baumwart. He marriage to Henry Winters White on 3 Nov 1852 was recorded in the Talbot District Marriage Register. [12] Mary Baumwart married pioneer Christian Rohrer mentioned in the first part of this sketch. | Rohrer, Christian (I42645)

| 2112 | Fjölnir (Old Norse: Fjǫlnir, lit. "Manifold" or "Multiplier") is a legendary king in Norse mythology said to have been the son of Freyr (Frey) and his consort Gerðr (Gertha). The name appears in a variety of forms, including Fiolnir, Fjölner, Fjolner, and Fjolne. He was claimed as the progenitor of the Swedish Yngling dynasty, reigning from Gamla Uppsala. According to the Grottasöngr, Fjölnir lived from the 1st century BC to the early 1st century AD. Fjölnir was said to have drowned in a vat of mead while visiting Peace-Fróði, a similarly-legendary king of Zealand, the Danish island. Fjölnir was then succeeded by his son Sveigðir. Grottasöngr Grottasöngr informs that Fjölnir was the contemporary of Caesar Augustus (63 BC – AD 14). He was a mighty king and the crops were bountiful and peace was maintained. At his time, King Fróði, the son of Friðleifr, ruled in Lejre in Zealand. Grottasöngr relates that when Fróði once visited Uppsala he brought two giantesses, Fenja and Menja: Fróði konungr sótti heimboð í Svíþjóð til þess konungs, er Fjölnir er nefndr. Þá keypti hann ambáttir tvær, er hétu Fenja ok Menja. Þær váru miklar ok sterkar. However, the two giantesses were to be his undoing (see Grottasöngr). Ynglinga saga The Ynglinga saga tells that Fjölnir was the son of Freyr himself and the giantess Gerd, but he was the first of his house who was not to be deified. Freyr tók þá ríki eptir Njörð; var hann kallaðr dróttinn yfir Svíum ok tók skattgjafir af þeim; hann var vinsæll ok ársæll sem faðir hans. Freyr reisti at Uppsölum hof mikit, ok setti þar höfuðstað sinn; lagði þar til allar skyldir sínar, lönd ok lausa aura; þá hófst Uppsala auðr, ok hefir haldizt æ síðan. Á hans dögum hófst Fróða friðr, þá var ok ár um öll lönd; kendu Svíar þat Frey. Var hann því meir dýrkaðr en önnur goðin, sem á hans dögum varð landsfólkit auðgara en fyrr af friðinum ok ári. Gerðr Gýmis dóttir hét kona hans; sonr þeirra hét Fjölnir. Frey took the kingdom after Njord, and was called drot by the Swedes, and they paid taxes to him. He was, like his father, fortunate in friends and in good seasons. Frey built a great temple at Upsal, made it his chief seat, and gave it all his taxes, his land, and goods. Then began the Upsal domains, which have remained ever since. Then began in his days the Frode- peace; and then there were good seasons, in all the land, which the Swedes ascribed to Frey, so that he was more worshipped than the other gods, as the people became much richer in his days by reason of the peace and good seasons. His wife was called Gerd, daughter of Gymis, and their son was called Fjolne. Then Snorri tells that after Freyr's death, Fjölnir became the king of Sweden. However, he drowned in a vat of mead visiting Peace-Fróði (Friðfróði), the king of Zealand. Fjölnir, son Yngvifreys, réð þá fyrir Svíum ok Uppsala auð; hann var ríkr ok ársæll ok friðsæll. Þá var Friðfróði at Hleiðru; þeirra í millum var heimboð ok vingan. Þá er Fjölnir fór til Fróða á Selund, þá var þar fyrir búin veizla mikil ok boðit til víða um lönd. Fróði átti mikinn húsabœ; þar var gert ker mikit margra alna hátt, ok okat með stórum timbrstokkum; þat stóð í undirskemmu, en lopt var yfir uppi, ok opit gólfþilit, svá at þar var niðr hellt leginum, en kerit blandit fult mjaðar; þar var drykkr furðu sterkr. Um kveldit var Fjölni fylgt til herbergis í hit næsta lopt, ok hans sveit með honum. Um nóttina gékk hann út í svalir at leita sér staðar, var hann svefnœrr ok dauðadrukkinn. En er hann snerist aptr til herbergis, þá gékk hann fram eptir svölunum ok til annarra loptdura ok þar inn, missti þá fótum ok féll í mjaðarkerit, ok týndist þar. Fjolne, Yngve Frey's son, ruled thereafter over the Swedes and the Upsal domains. He was powerful, and lucky in seasons and in holding the peace. Fredfrode ruled then in Leidre, and between them there was great friendship and visiting. Once when Fjolne went to Frode in Sealand, a great feast was prepared for him, and invitations to it were sent all over the country. Frode had a large house, in which there was a great vessel many ells high, and put together of great pieces of timber; and this vessel stood in a lower room. Above it was a loft, in the floor of which was an opening through which liquor was poured into this vessel. The vessel was full of mead, which was excessively strong. In the evening Fjolne, with his attendants, was taken into the adjoining loft to sleep. In the night he went out to the gallery to seek a certain place, and he was very sleepy and exceedingly drunk. As he came back to his room he went along the gallery to the door of another left, went into it, and his foot slipping, he fell into the vessel of mead and was drowned. Ynglingatal Snorri also quoted some lines of Ynglingatal, composed in the 9th century: Varð framgengt, þars Fróði bjó, feigðarorð, es at Fjölni kom; ok sikling svigðis geira vágr vindlauss of viða skyldi. In Frode's hall the fearful word, The death-foreboding sound was heard: The cry of fey denouncing doom, Was heard at night in Frode's home. And when brave Frode came, he found Swithiod's dark chief, Fjolne, drowned. In Frode's mansion drowned was he, Drowned in a waveless, windless sea. The Historia Norwegiæ provides a Latin summary of Ynglingatal, which precedes Snorri's quotation. It also informs that Fjölnir was the son of Freyr, the father of Svegder and that he drowned in a vat of mead: Froyr vero genuit Fiolni, qui in dolio medonis dimersus est, cujus filius Swegthir [...] Frøy engendered Fjolne, who was drowned in a tun of mead. His son, Sveigde, [...] The even earlier source Íslendingabók cites the line of descent in Ynglingatal and also gives Fjölnir as the successor of Freyr and the predecessor of Svegðir. In addition to this it summarizes that Fjölnir died at Friðfróði's (i.e. Peace-Fróði): iii Freyr. iiii Fjölnir. sá er dó at Friðfróða. v Svegðir:. Fjölnir House of Yngling Preceded by Yngvi-Freyr Mythological king of Sweden Succeeded by Sveigðir Gesta Danorum In Gesta Danorum, Book 1, Frodi corresponds to Hadingus and Fjölnir to Hundingus, but the story is a little different. It relates how King Hundingus of Sweden believed a rumor that King Hadingus of Denmark had died and held his obsequies with ceremony, including an enormous vat of ale. Hundingus himself served the ale, but accidentally stumbled and fell into the vat, choked, and drowned. When word came to King Hadingus of this unfortunate death, King Hadingus publicly hanged himself (see Freyr). Ballad of Veraldur Dumézil (1973, Appendix I) cites a Faroese ballad recorded in 1840 about Odin and his son Veraldur. It is believed that this Veraldur is related to Fjölnir and Freyr, as per Snorri's statement that Freyr was veraldar goð ("god of the world"). In this ballad Veraldur sets off to Zealand to seek the king's daughter in marriage despite Odin's warnings. The king of Zealand dislikes Veraldur and tricks him into falling into a brewing vat in a "hall of stone" where Veraldur drowns. When Odin hears the news, he decides to die and go to Asgard where his followers will be also be welcomed after death. The tale is similar to that of the death of Fjölnir, son of Freyr, who accidentally fell into a vat of mead and drowned while paying a friendly visit to Fridfródi the ruler of Zealand. Fjölnir is also another name for Odin, found in Grímnismál when the god revealed himself to Geirröd, and in Reginsmál when he was standing on a mountain addressing Sigurd and Regin. Snorri also mentions it as an Odinic name in Gylfaginning. | King of Uppsala, Fjölner (I36960)

| 2113 | Fleming Lineage This information taken from the Book, Finding Your Forefathers in America, by Archibald Bennett. Printed and original copyright by Bookcraft Inc, 1957. The Fleming family in Virginia had a most interesting tradition of descent from an Earl in Scotland. The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 23, page 214, explained it in these words: "An old record preserved in the Fleming family states that the immigrant ancestor was 'Sir Thomas Fleming, second son of the Earl of Wigdon in Scotland who married in England Miss Tarleton, and came to Virginia in 1616, settling first at Jamestown and afterwards removing to New Kent County 'where he lived and died.' Besides several daughters he left three sons 'Tarleton, John and Charles.' How far this statement in regard to the descent from the Earl of Wigton is correct has never been investigated, but certainly the date given for the immigration is too early. There may be other errors in the tradition.... It is quite possible that the Virginia Flemings descended from one of the younger sons of the Earl. A letter written in Virginia more than a hundred years ago which states that one of the family, the older brother of judge Wm. Fleming, was then heir to the Earldom of Wigton, shows the antiquity of the tradition." Exact Statement of the Tradition. It is always instructive to read the exact wording of the traditional story, and to know something of the qualifications of the one who wrote down the account. The writer was Charles Woodson, born about 1710, the son of Tarleton Woodson and Ursula Fleming. He received a finished education and seemed "to have manifested more interest in his ancestors and the family history than any of his contemporaries. He it was who, after extended research and, necessarily, wide correspondence, compiled the historical and genealogical data upon which all subsequent publications have been based. Copies of his manuscript have been given to a number of descendants and other members of the family." (The Woodsons and Their Connections, p. 44.) While the record he compiled in his later years has its imperfections, it has been described as "highly authentic and valuable." Before his death he had a new frame put on an old looking glass, and on the walnut frame he inscribed these words: "This glass belonged to Stephen Tarleton who was my great-grandfather and died in the year 1687. I have had the present frame put on it this 14th of December, 1794." He was himself a Fleming descendant, and wrote, as a marginal note, in a book, the following declaration: "John Fleming, brother of the late Judge Fleming, of the court of appeals in Virginia, was heir to the earldom and estates of Wigton. He was an officer of the American Revolution and fell in the service of his country, refusing to leave her service for the immense estates and earldom of Wigton." Truth and Error in the Tradition. As in most stories transmitted through the generations, mostly orally, there is error to be detected in this one. judge William Fleming did have an older brother named John Fleming. But he died in 1767, before the American Revolution began. It was actually his son, John Fleming, who fell in that struggle. This young man was a Captain in the First Virginia Regiment of the Continental Line. Toward the end of the year 1776 his regiment marched northward and joined the American forces about Philadelphia under Washington. He commanded his regiment in the Battle of Princeton, January 3, 1777. The Americans were being forced back, several companies broke and fled, and there was danger of a general stampede. Washington was alarmed and rode forward, great peril, to attempt to stem the retreat. He rode his horse between his men and the British, who were only about thirty yards apart, and became the target for the enemy's fire, but was providentially preserved. "It was just at this moment when disaster seemed imminent, that the First Virginia, led by its heroic young Captain Fleming, came out of the woods, cheering and shouting.' Stopping on a line with Washington, just 30 yards from the British, the brave young officer of 22 coolly ordered his men to 'dress the line before they fired.' Whereupon, the British exclaimed with curses 'We will dress you , and poured in a deadly fire. Undaunted the Virginians returned the fire. Then the British engaged in a bayonet duel with the Virginians in the course of which Captain Fleming and Lieutenant Bartholomew Yates (aged 19) were mortally stabbed. "The British were forced back, and the example of the First Virginia had a saving effect." (Tyler's Quarterly, Vol. 12, p. 11 et seq.} On Jan. 24, 1777, a notice appeared in the Virginia Gazette: "By accounts from the northward, we have the melancholy news of the death of Captain John Fleming of the First Virginia Regiment, who proved himself to be a gallant officer, and nobly fell on the 3rd instant, near Trenton, at the head of his company, in defense of American freedom. He was universally esteemed by those who were acquainted with him, and his loss is much regretted." The Heir to the Earldom. It was a far cry from this youthful American patriot to the Earldom of Wigton in Scotland. But let us test the tradition about the second son of the Earl. The most authentic account of the historic Fleming family of Scotland is found in The Scots Peerage, a History of the Noble Families of Scotland, Volume VIII, pp. 519-558. Robert Fleming, the first from whom it is possible to trace descent, flourished in 1290. Eleventh in line from him was John Fleming, 1st Earl of Wigtown, who married Lilias Graham. Their second son, James Fleming, of Boghall, died in October 1623, leaving two sons, John and James, who both died without issue. Hence he left no male descendants to be heir to the title. . His older brother John became the second Earl of Wigtown. He was probably baptized at Kincardine about 9 Dec. 1589. He succeeded his father as Earl in 1619. He was a member of the Privy Council in 1626; and was appointed a Privy Councilor by Parliament Tested 13 Nov. 1641, but he entered heartily into an association framed at his own house to support King Charles I, in the impending Civil War, in Jan. 1641-2. His marriage contract to Margaret Livingston, second daughter to Alexander, first Earl of Linlithgow, was dated 20 Feb. 1609. He died 7 May, 1650. Their son and heir, John Fleming, third Earl of Wigtown, was succeeded by his son John, 4th Earl and William, 5th Earl. The latter was succeeded by his two sons, John and Charles, sixth and seventh Earls, respectively, neither of whom left male descendants. After the death of Charles Fleming, seventh Earl, without male heir, the earldom was temporarily assumed by Charles Ross Fleming, in the year 1747. He claimed to be descended from Alexander Fleming 4th son of the 1st Earl of Wigtown. When the House of Lords examined his claim they debarred him from the title, 25 Mar. 1762, and expressed grave doubts on the genuineness of the documents on which the claim was based. The dignity thereupon became dormant or extinct. A chart will show how this came about, that there was no heir to claim the title. (Only the sons are named.) John Fleming, 1st Earl of Wigtown md.

This would seem to harmonize with the family tradition of the Fleming family in Virginia, that they were descended from the second son of the Earl of Wigton, even though the name of that son was different from that which had been handed down to them. The problem before us is to prove whether this Alexander, the 2nd son, left any male issue, who could have been in line to succeed to the title. CAPTAIN ALEXANDER FLEMING OF VIRGINIA. It is indeed true that an Alexander Fleming came to Virginia, and just at the time when many of those who had espoused the royal cause in the Civil War in England took refuge in the Colony. Was he identical with the "second son" and did he leave male issue? In Americana, Jan. 1939, pp. 326-348, appeared a scholarly article under the title, "Captain Alexander Fleming and Joyce, His Wife." In it the author, Lenora Higginbotham Sweeny, has assembled a fine store of record material about Captain Alexander, including his many land grants, his three marriages to three widows, and the names of his two daughters , Alexia and Elizabeth Fleming. She has made a real contribution, but there are still facts unexplained. On February 12, 1937, I sent for publication to the editor of the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography an article on "The Fleming Family." One paragraph read: "An exam of this family tradition in the light of facts now obtainable seems to indicate that the immigrant ancestor was Captain Alexander Fleming and not Sir Thomas, and that he was indeed the second son of John Fleming, second Earl of Wigtown in Scotland and that John Fleming elder brother of Judge William, was actually the legal heir to the earldom from 1747 until his death in 1767, after which his eldest son, Major John Fleming who fell in the Battle of Princeton, 'was then heir to the Earldom of Wigton."' The Americana article was inclined to a similar view: "The first Fleming of whom any record is found in Virginia, is Alexander Fleming, who came to Virginia in 1649-50, with other adherents of Charles I and who on August 6, 1655, purchased land in Lancaster County, Virginia, from William Moseley, a resident of that county. . . . (Lancaster County Deeds, &c., 1652-57, p. 214.) "As nothing further is known of the history of Alexander Fleming, second son of the Earl of Wigton, it is possible that he is identical with Alexander Fleming, the Virginian immigrant of 1649- 50...."From a deed of record in Rappahannock County, Virginia, we know that Captain Alexander Fleming died testate. The writer has been unable to locate his will...."Elizabeth, daughter of Captain Alexander Fleming and wife, Joyce, married Rowland Thornton.... Alexia, daughter of Captain Alexander and Elizabeth Fleming, married, not later than June 4, 1683, Thomas Pace, of Rappahannock County, for on that date she united with her husband in a deed to a plantation ... part of Alexia's share of the estate of her deceased father, Captain Alexander Fleming, land given in his last will and testament to his daughter, Alexia. ... (Rappahannock County Deeds, &c., No. 7, p. 37.) "Alexander Fleming, who married Sarah, daughter of William Kenny, and was living in Richmond County, Virginia, January 3, 1692, may have been a son of Captain Alexander Fleming by his first wife, Ursula, and perhaps there is a descendant and 'heir-male of lineal descent,' who could claim title to the Earldom of Wigton." (pp. 328, 340, 348.) Alexander Fleming's First Wife. We must first make sure that Alexander Fleming, "the second son" did not live on and die in Scotland. If he did, that would be fatal to the tradition. Volume 56, of the publications of The Scottish Record Society contains records of the Burgesses and Guild Brethren of Glasgow, 1573-1730. There were three ranks-a simple Burgess, a Freeman, and a Guild Brother. A Burgess could enter as a Guild Brother by payment of 13s. 4d. Honorary Burgesses were persons admitted gratis by favour of the Town Council, either by reason of their own eminence or through the influence of their friends. A Guild Brother's son or son-in-law might become a Guild Brother by paying 20s. at his entry; but he must be worth in lands, heritage or moveable gear 500 merks if a merchant. On 10 April 1629 the following were admitted as Burgesses and Freeman, gratis: John Fleming, lord (This would be the later 3rd Earl.) Alexander Fleming, his brother William Fleming, also his brother Alexander Fleming, their uncle Patrick Fleming, in Balloch Malcolm Fleming, servitor to John, Earl of Wigtown Robert Fleming, servitor to John, Earl of Wigtown (son of Malcolm Fleming of Woddelie) John Fleming, servitor to Earl of Wigtown (p. 73) This was really quite a family party. You will note they were not made Guild Brethren. Alexander would then be about 17 years old. Volume 36 of the Scottish Record Society is entitled Charter Chest of the Earldom of Wigtown It contains valuable family documents, some of which give genealogical information. No. 710 reads: "5 Apr. 1636. A Sasine of Alexander and William Fleming, lawful sons to John Earl of Wigtown, is two respective annual rents effeiring to the principal sums of 10,000 merks each upliftable forth of the lands of Harbetshire, barony of Denny and lands of scleugh…” (pg. 85) Alexander Fleming, merchant, was admitted a Burgess and Guild Brother, 2 April 1646, as having married Elspeth, lawful daughter to the dec. William Anderson, merchant. (Scottish Record Society 56:118.) (William Anderson, cordiner became a Guild Brother, as the son of a Guild Brother, 22 Mar. 1610. (Ibid., p. 39.)) Wills of Alexander's Uncles and Brother. I have before me the Testaments and Inventories of 1. Alexander Flyming, merchant burgess of Glasgow, who deceased in the month of April 1666. This would be the uncle of the younger Alexander. No heirs are mentioned; 2. James Fleming of Boghall, in the parish of Killeland, who deceased in the month of October 1623. Given up by Jonet Birsbane, his relict, and four of "their lawful bairnes" are named. This was another uncle of Alexander; 3. Sir William Fleming one of H. M. Ushers to H. M. Privy Council. (This was Alexander's brother.) The heirs were "sister's children of the said Sir William; William, Earle of Wigtoune for himself and in name and behalf of Mr. Charles, Ledies (Ladies) Margaret, Lillias and Jeane Fleming his brothers and sisters, brother's children of the said Sir William, and only executors decerned to him." This was confirmed 22 June 1672. (Glasgow Testaments Vols. 35 and 20; Edinburgh Testaments Vol. 74.) Had Alexander, the second son, been living in Scotland on the date of this will, or had he left heirs living there, surely he or they would have been named in his brother's will. There is no will listed for this younger Alexander. Captain Alexander Fleming, also called "Gent., had died in Virginia between 30 Dec. 1668 and 13 Mar. 1668-9. He had children, but they may not have been known in Scotland. The Traditional Three Sons. According to the story handed down the second son married in England Miss Tarleton and besides several daughters left three sons-Tarleton, John and Charles. The facts are twisted in the tradition. It was Charles Fleming who married Susanna Tarleton, the daughter of Stephen Tarleton. He named a son Tarleton. Here is an interesting sequence of headrights. Alexander Fleming is said to have come to Virginia in 1649-50. He was a headright 15 Feb. 1655. 2 July 1650. Eliza Fleming headright of John Oliver. (2:219) 18 Feb. 1653. Cha. Flemin a headright of Emperor, Gale and Morgan. (3:47) 8 Nov. 1653. John Fleming a headright of Joseph Croshaw, York Co., on the south side of York River. (3:51) 1 Sep. 1653. Christopher Fleminge a headright of Col. Wm. Clayborne, Sec. of State, land at Pamunkey, N. side freshes of York River.(3:34) 12 Oct. 1652. Patrick Flemin a headright of Anthony Hoskins, Northampton Co. 16 Sept. 1663. William Fleminge a headright of Col. Abraham Wood, Charles City Co. 17 Apr. 1667. Robert ffleming a headright of Alexander Fleming on south side of RappahannockRiver. It is significant that of these both Alexander and John received grants of land in 1658, each for 250 acres. Charles and William received no grants until 1688 and 1691, respectively, being evidently children when they were brought over. It is likely that the Eliza. Fleming was the first wife of Alexander Fleming, the Elpset (or Elizabeth) Anderson whom he had married before 1646 in Scotland. John was probably their son, and the father of Charles, William and perhaps Christopher. Nothing more is heard of him or Patrick or Robert. The family had extensive land grants. Alexander Fleming patented 5790 acres, between 1658 and 1667, on both sides of the RappahannockRiver. No accounting has ever been made of all this land. John, between 1658-1680, was granted 2643 acres; and Charles, between 1688-1719, 11,700 acres. These three grants are quoted to show that Charles was the son of John: 20 Apr. 1680. To John Fleming & Andrew David, 1000 a. in NewKentCounty, for transportation of 24 persons.(Book 7:25) 18 Apr. 1688. To Charles Fleming of New Kent County, Planter, 1079 a. in the Parish of St. Peter in the county aforesaid "to the line which divides this from the lands late of John Fleming decd." Due for importing 22 persons. (Book 7:658) 23 Oct. 1690. To Charles Fleming, 1000 a. in New KentCounty. The said land being formerly granted to Jno. Fleming & Andr. David, by patent dated the 20th of Aprill 1680 and by them deserted & since granted back to Jno Fleming by order of the General Court dated the 16th of Aprill 1690, and is due for importing 20 persons. (Book 8:105) A Tentative Arrangement. In the light of the known facts and the family tradition, this seems to be' the logical Fleming genealogy: CAPTAIN ALEXANDER FLEMING, second son of John Fleming, 2nd Earl of Wigtown, and his wife, Margaret Livingston, was born about 1612, probably at Cumbernauld, Lanark, Scotland. He died in Rappahannock Co., Virginia, between 30 December 1668 and 13 March 1668-69. He married 1st probably about 1631, ELSPET or ELIZABETH ANDERSON, daughter of William Anderson. She was probably the headright to Virginia in 1650. He married 2nd before 5 July 1658, URSULA, the widow of John Browne, "late of Accomacke, Decd." She was living and signed a deed with him 19 Apr. 1660. He married 3rd before 5 Feb. 1660-61, ELIZABETH MADESTARD, sister of Thomas Madestard, and widow of Epaphroditus Lawson and William Clapham, Jr. On 3 July 1666 she is called in a document "Late Wife of Mr. Alex. Fleming." He married, 4th by marriage contract signed about 15 May 1666, in Westmoreland County, JOYCE JONES, widow of Anthony Hoskins (County Court Note Book VI:23). She survived him and married 3rd LawrenceWashington; and 4th James Yates. Child of Alexander Fleming and Elizabeth Anderson: x 1.

Charles was possibly the son of John Fleming who, “departed this life the 27th day of August and was buried the 30th day of August 1686.” When Charles secured a patent to 18 April 1688: 1,079 acres in St. Peter’s Parish, it was described as next to the land of John Fleming, deceased. Fleming held 23 Oct 1690 2,000 acres in New Kent County, 25 April 1701 1,184 acres in Pamunkey Neck, 1704 and paid quit rents on 1,700 acres in King William County and 920 acres in New Kent County 16 June 1714 Charles had a patent to 1,427 acres on the south side of the James next to John Pleasants, 732 acres on the north side against Elk Island, and 670 acres on the south side of the river Richard Ligon surveyed two of these tracts for Fleming. 16 June 1714 With John Woodson the same day, he got a patent to 1,278 acres on the north side of the James. Since Woodson died before they could divide the land in 1717, Charles sold his interest to John Thornton of NewKentCounty the same day that Tarleton Woodson and John Woodson sold Thornton the interest they inherited from their father. Both Woodson brothers were Fleming’s sons-in-law. The same day Tarleton and John Woodson swapped 500 acres in HenricoCounty with Fleming. 16 Aug 1715 In New Kent County Charles got 1,900 acres, and he was back in HenricoCounty in 1718 with 1,430 acres on the north side of the James next to Capt. John Bolling. We have no will of Charles Fleming. Deeds in GoochlandCounty reveal that he left 500 acres to grandsons Charles Jordan and George Bates. Should they die, the land would go to Samuel Jordan and Matthew Jordan. A petition identifies Tarleton Fleming and Bowler Cocke as devisees of Charles Fleming. He also directed “FlemingPark” of 732 acres be sold to Stephen Hughes, which was done 15 February 1738/9. The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, The Virginia Historical Society, Richmond, VA, for the year ending December 31, 1915, Vol 23, p 325 Patented land in New Kent Co, VA in 1688 and in King and QueenCO, VA in 1701.

By deed, Henrio, Oct. 1717, Tarlton and John Woodson conveyed to Chas. Fleming, of New Kent, 500 acres in Henrico, adjoining Fleming's Plantation.

Notes and History of the Fleming Family From the Frances Cowlles Document “The Name Fleming is from Flanders, the home of the first of the Family— Stephen, who planted his name in England—the Flemings in the South Colonel Thomas, and how he fooled the Indians in a fight—the New Jersey Flemings—and the Arms of the Old Fleming Family, and the Fleminsh Motto. By Frances Cowlles It is an interesting fact to the genealogist that the motto borne by the Fleming, or Flemming, family is the only motto recorded in British heraldry which is still written in Flemish. [Editor's note—No, it is actually written in Gaelic] This motto, “Bhear na Righ gan”—“May the King live forever”—must date from a very ancient period, as the Flemings have been in England and Scotland for almost a thousand years. The English chronicler gives as the first of the family Stephen of Flanders, who first assumed the name of Flanders or Fleming to show the nationality of his forefathers. The Irish descendents of Stephen say that Stephan's Father, Archembald, a nobleman of Flanders, came from the continent with William the Conqueror and acquired the lordship of Bratton in Devonshire. Stephen Flanders, or Fleming, had a son, Archembald, said to be the ancestor of the Irish family of Flemings who become lords of the estate of Slane, County of Meath, Ireland. There were twenty-three recorded generations of Barons Slane, but the title became dormant in 1726. William, a younger son of Stephen of Flanders, who died in 1197, had a son, Sir Malcom, sheriff of Dumbarton, who died in 1246, and his son Robert was the well-known supporter of Robert Bruce. Robert had two sons, at least-Malcom, who was made Earl of Wigton, and who died in 1362, and Patrick. The son of Malcom, Earl of Wigton, inherited his father's titles and estates, but later sold them. Patrick married a daughter of Sir Simon Fraser and had a son Sir Malcolm, who had two sons, Sir David and Patrick. The former had a son Malcolm, who married Elizabeth, daughter of the Duke of Albany, and had Lord Robert Fleming, who married Margaret Lindsay. Their son was Malcolm, who married Euphemia Christon and had Lord John, who married Janet Steward. Lord John died in 1524, leaving a son, Malcolm, who was created Earl of Wigton under a second creation. The First Earl of Wigton under this new creation had two sons—James, who succeeded to his father's honors and was Lord High Chancellor to Queen Mary, and Lord John, who, after his brother's death, succeeded to the earldom. The latter married Lillian Graham, a daughter of the Earl of Montrose. Their two sons were John and Sir Thomas Fleming. Sir Thomas married Miss Tarleton and emigrated to Virginia and there became the originator of the southern branch of the Fleming family. Sir Thomas, it is said, had three sons—Tarleton, John and Charles. John died in New Kent, VA., in 1686, leaving a son Charles, who married Susannah Tarleton. The children of this marriage were as follows: Elizabeth; Judith, who married Thomas Randolph; Colonel John, who married Mary Bolling; Tarleton of Rock Castle, who married Hannah Bates; Robert, who was burgess for Caroline county, and Susannah, who married first John Bates and then John Woodson. Colonel John, the third child and “son and heir” of Charles and Susannah Tarleton Fleming, had five sons and two daughters. Of these the eldest John, was captain of the first Virginia Regiment in the Revolution and was killed at the battle of Princeton in 1776. Charles, the second son, was Lieutenant Colonel of Continental troops in the Third Virginia Regiment; Thomas was Colonel of the Ninth Virginia Continentals; William was judge of the Virginia Supreme Court, and the youngest son was Richard. John, the eldest, married Susannah—, and had a son John. Colonel Thomas, the third of these five sons, was the most distinguished. He was born in 1727 and commanded two hundred men in the battle of Point Pleasant, with the Indians, in 1774. The white forces were in command of General Lewis and the Indians were commanded by Corn Stalk. Fleming's men hid behind trees and held out their hats. The Indians, mistaking the hats for the white men's heads, shot at them. At this, Fleming's men would drop the hats and the Indians would rush forward to scalp their victims. When the Indians got near them, the whites would jump from behind the trees and tomahawk the unwary Indians. These men were all backwoodsmen and knew as well as the Indians, the methods of Indian fighting. There were a thousand Indians and only four hundred whites, but the battle was a signal victory for the whites. Unfortunately, Fleming was severely wounded in this engagement, but he was none the less willing to enter the Revolutionary army a few years later. Thomas Fleming married the daughter of Major John Bolling, the son of Colonel Robert Bolling and the daughter of Thomas Rolf, the son of Pocahontas. | Woodson, Tarleton (I36996)

| 2119 | Following information was posted by Rootsweb, an Ancestry.com community General Notes: Joshua served as Justice in the Charles City County court, Sheriff of Prince George County 1705-1712, and commanded various militia units in the Virginia Colonie. He made serveral trips to England trading tobacco, responsible for treaties with Indian from New York to Virginia, and mentioned numerous times as a close family friend of the Byrds of Westover (Colonel William Byrd H's diaries). Joshua was assassinated by American Indians. June 4, 1694: Joshua was sworn in as County Sub-Sheriff, and was reappointed on June 3, 1695. Joshua was a member of the House of Burgesses for Charles City County, Virginia from 1702-1704.Joshua and his brother, Thomas were Indian interpreters for the Nottaway, Meherrin, Nansmond, Pamukey, and Chickahominy Indian tribes and were asked to go north with these tribes to help nogotiate a treaty with the Senacas. He devoted many years to keeping peace among the Indians and represented them by presenting their grievances to the Council of Virginia; (remember, the Wynne children and the Poythress children were 1/2 brothers and sisters as they shared the same mother). Joshua was shot and killed by Saponey Indians because a servant of Major Wynne's had killed one of their great men. Major Joshua Wynne lived among the Indians in the Virginia Colony. In 1703, the Nottoway, Nansmonds, and Meherrin tribes requested that Joshua and his brother, Thomas Wynne, be appointed Indian Interpreters for the tribe. When a Chief of these tribes was taken prisoner by the Senecas, the Wynne brothers were begged to accompany the Indians on this long and dangerous journey, as without them "nothing could be accomplished". This journey was undertaken and their Chief was retrieved, temporarily averting a tribal war. Joshua Wynne married Mary Jones, the daughter of Major Peter Jones, commander of the Fort built at the falls near present day of Petersburg, Virginia, and Margaret Cruse. Margaret Cruse was the step-daughter of Maj. General Abarham Wood, Commander of Ft. Henry and leader of the first English expedition into the Mississippi Valley. General Wood was the official negotiator of the British Fur trade with the Cherokee Nation. Wood also testified against Nathaniel Bacon who was the leader of "Bacon's Rebellion" who led a rebel army that massacred friendly Indians in Colonial Virginia among other devious acts. "On March 29, 1715 Major Joshua Wynne was shot and killed by Saponey Indians because one of Joshua's servants had killed on the the Indian's 'great' men. Upon trial of the Indian, the Indians pleaded that the Wynnes were then equal, each having lost a great man. To avoid more bloodshed the Indian was pardoned." [The Saponey or Saponi were of the Siouan linguistic stock, related to the nearby Tutelo tribe. They were unreleated to the Iroquoian speaking tribes Nottoway, Meherrin and the Algonquian speaking Powhatan Confederacy Tribes, Pamunkey, Nansemond, that the Wynne brothers enjoyed friendly relations with. Joshua Wynne's parents were Colonel Robert Wynne and a former widown, Mary Frances Poythress, maiden named believed to be Sloman. Robert Wynne was speaker of the House of Burgesses and served longer than any man in Virginia's history, from Marh 13, 1661-1675. Robert died on Oct 8, 1675. His will dated July 1, 1675, and proved August 15, 1678 at Jordan's Parish or Charles City (present Prince George County) shows an Estate in Canterbury, England of two houses and a farm in addition to his 600 acre Virginia Estate south of the James River. The Wynne family name, often spelled Winn, continued to be carried down as a first name in the Williams family for generations. The Wynne name is also one of the most common surnames among Native Americans living in Eastern Virginia, although the genealogical relationship is not known. Joshua was overseer of the Berkley Plantation during Bacon's Rebellion, was a member of the Governor's Council, and a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses. After building Fort Henry in 1646, he and three other Virginians, two servants, and a guide explored what someday would become Tennessee and Kentucky, and being the first Englishemn to set foot there. After this, Joshua lived in Prince George County, Virginia. Notation: Joshua married Mary Jones, daughter of Peter Jones and Margaret Wood, on Jul 6, 1685 in Charles City, Charles City County, Virginia. Mary Jones was born on May 13, 1665, in Charles City, Charles City County, Virginia and died in 1718 in Henrico County, Virginia. | Wynne, Joshua "Major" (I25122)

| 2136 | Four Peery brothers- John, Thomas, James, and George- immigrated from Ireland and settled in Augusta Co. , Virginia about 1740. No record back of this. Their families were a part of the great Scotch-Irish immigration from Ulster by way of PA about 1735. History of Thomas Peery #1 Resided near Staunton, Augusta County, Virginia -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "THOMAS PEERY - One of the first settlers of that name in America. Planter: Resided in Augusta Co., Va. near Staunton, Va. on one of the branches of the Middle River of Shenandoah. Parentage and date and place of birth unknown. He died in 1762 and his will was probated in Augusta Co. He wife's name was Mary _______, birth and parentage unknown. After her husband's death, she remarried William McFeeters. Children by Thomas were: John, married Sarah Jamison James, married Jane Farris George, married Martha Davidson William, married Sarah Evans, he died in Aug. 1830 Robert Thomas, who married Margaret Dennis, he died in June 1820 Elizabeth Margaret Agnes Mary, married David Logan The name of this Thomas Peery first appears in the records on the list of Captain John Wilson's Company of Augusta County Militia, raised for the defense of the frontier in the late summer or early fall of 1742. This was only about 10 years after the first settlement of white people in the county, which at the time comprised all of Virginia lying west of the Blue Ridge Mountains southerly of the County of Frederick. This Company was one of twelve raised at about the same time, the rolls of only nine of which have been found. These rolls are supposed to have born the names of practically all the arms bearing population at that time, from youth to extreme old age. The fact that no other Peery name appears upon any of these nine rolls, which have been preserved, would indicate that Thomas was the only one in the settlement. On these rolls appear the names of many families to that section and to Southwest Virginia. Thomas Gillespie was a member of Captain John Smith's Company. John Buchanan was Captain of a Company, and Will Evans, was his Lieutenant. David Logan was a member of Captain J---- Cathey Company. John Christian was Captain of a Company, and William Christian was his Lieutenant. Alex Morris and John Thompson, and George, Alex, Robert and James Breckenridge belonged to this Company. In Captain John Wilson's Company, with Thomas Peery were George Davidson, John William and James Hunter. Alexander and Robert Crockett, John and James Trimble, Robert, John, James and Hugh Young. Jacob Lockhart, Thomas Kirkpatrick, David and William Campbell, William Legerwood and others more or less familiar. On August 20, 1746, the County Court of Augusta Co. appointed John Brown to be oversear of a road from Kings to the Courthouse, with certain "tithables" to work it, among them Thomas Peery. Order Book No. 1, page 2 On November 21, 1752, The Court appointed Thomas Peery, James Peery and others, to work the road from the top of North Mountain to the Courthouse, under Samuel Wallace. Order Book, No. 3, page 406. March 21st, 1753, George Peery, Thomas Peery and James Peery with others, were appointed to keep the road formerly layed off from James Young's Mill to Buchanan Mill. Then some of their fellow workers were much the same as those found upon the rolls of Captain John Smith's Company. Order Book No. 3, page 414. In 1753, we also find Thomas Peery mentioned in connection with James, George and John Peery, as one of the persons appointed to keep a certain road in repair. On Feb. 27th, 1749, William Beverly of Plainfield, Essex County, Va. the owner of Beverly Manor a tract of 120,000 acres surrounding Staunton, Va. , conveyed to Thomas Peerie, of the County of Augusta, Planter, a tract of 375 acres in the County of Augusta, Shenadore, part of the tract called and known as "Beverly Manor." This land was joined on the east by a tract conveyed on the same date by said Beverly to James Peery. It was bounded on the North by lands of Robert Young, on the northwest by William McClintock and on the south by John Campbell. On this same date, Beverly conveyed lands to George Peery and Thomas Kirkpatrick, and on the 26th of the same month, conveyed lands to William McClintock. On March 20th, 1762, Thomas Peery made his will which was produced in the Court, November 16, 1762. Order Book No. 7, page 101, so that he died between these two dates. His widow Mary Peery, qualified as Executrix at the Augusta County Court, Feb. 15, 1763. All the children mentioned above were named in the will, except James, whose relationship appears on later Deeds. The Will gave his wife, all the movable effects on the plantation, and to his son, John, 100 acres "of the nearest end of my plantation." The rest of his estate he directed to be put on sale and divided equally amongst his children named except Elizabeth, as sufficiently provided for, or possibly for some reason not meriting special provision. His son, Thomas was a minor at the time of his death, as on August 20, 1765, he came to Court and chose John Peery to be his guardian, being 16 years of age. Order Book No. 9, page 439 Descendents of all male children can be traced, except Robert, about whom I have found nothing. I find no records of the families of his daughters, except Mary, who married David Logan and moved to Kentucky, where she raised a family. The widow of Thomas Peery married William McFeeters after the death of her former husband, and she, with her husband, on August 20, 1765 conveyed to John Peery a tract of land in pursuance of the power contained in the Will of Thomas Peery, and also, on the same date, she and her husband conveyed the balance of the original tract sold by Beverly to Thomas Peery, to Samuel McNabb, John Peery wife, Sarah Peery, released to his brother James, 150 acres of the original tract of 375 acres, deeded to his father Thomas, described as "on a branch of the Shenadore". On March 1, 1770, James Peery conveyed this land to John Archenbright. The members of the family seemed to have left the local city about this time, which corresponds very nearly with the date when George, William and Thomas together with John, settled in what is now Tazewell Co., Va. It is probable that they stopped for a while in the present limits of Botetourt County, where John seems to have invested in land, for we find him and his wife, selling land located in the forks of the James River in said County, under date of Oct. 7, 1777. James, first settler, seems also to have settled about this time in Botetourt County." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source: Submitted by S. Paul Peery (Orlando, Florida). < On my last trip to Tazewell, Va., I stopped in at the library and found a book called "Colonial America and Pioneer Days 1742-1973: A Saga of the Peery Family," by T.L. Peery. I made some copies of various pages in it and when I returned, filed them away with my other research. Today, while looking through some of my papers, I came upon them and having studied them, found them to be most interesting. The papers are a long account of the First Generation of Peerys, beginning with Thomas. The author did a lot of research and I would like to pass this information on to the members of PCO that are following Generations, to be put with their material. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submitted by: S.

| 2149 | Fra boken: The saga of Haakon Beyer Friele Chapter II - Einar Beyer Einar Beyer was born in Bergen in 1871 and passed away in Seattle in 1961, the brother of Haakon's mother. He never married and took a spesial interest in the three fatherless sons of his sister. He lived in Hamburg, Germany for many years, employed by a firm in the fish business and the three boys spent vacation periods with him in Hamburg. He went to San Francisco on his first trip to the United States in 1906 arriving a few days after the great earthquake and fire in that city, for the purpose of purchasing mild-cured salmon caught and paced on the Sacramento River, for his company in Germany. He later decided to establish an American company and operate salmon canneries in Southeastern Alaska under the name of Southern Alaska Canning Company. This company failed during the 1921 depression and he later formed Northern P Products Company, purchasing mildcured salmon for export and sale in the United States. He resided in Seattle for many years and in later years lived in New Yourk but still maintained his office in Seattle. He was Norwegian Consul in Seattle and became a prominent figure in the Norwegian colony. Uncle Einar took a spesial interest in his nephew, Haakon, and invited him to Seattle in the fall of 1916 for the purpose of training him for a career in the fishing industry in Alaska. | Beyer, Einar Valdthjov von Krogh (I23893)
