Isaac LeFevre was born in France and fled to England after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. He and his family sailed from Gravesend England on the ship "Peter & Anthony" (Galley of London) in the spring of 1700 and landed at Jamestown, July 1700.

In 1700, he and his wife are named in the "List of Meal" at Falling Creek Mill, "Ye Refugees to receive one bushel per head of meal monthly as settled in and about King Williamtowne,".

From Tax records, Isaace LeFevre was born in France in 1667 and died in Virginia 1720/24.

The register of the Church of the French Refugees gives the name of his wife as Magdelaine. The census of King William Parish of 1714 proves they had one son and three daughters.

He was elected instructor of Philosophy and Mathematics in William and Mary College and served one year. He resigned after some difficulty with the Governor and faculty in regard to studies.

In 1724, he seems to have been a resident of Jamestown near the capitol of Williamsburg. The reference to the Royal Governor summoning him to pass upon the work of the surveyors shows that he resided near the capitol. He patented 68 acres on October 31, 1716.

Isaac arrived in Manakintown in 1700 from London on the galley "Peter and Anthony". In 1700 he and his wife are named in the List of Meals at Falling Creek Mill.

The Register of the Church of the French refugees gives a record in 1724 of the death of their daughter Magdalaine. The 1714 census of King William Parish shows they had one son and three daughters.

No will or estate records available as all of James City County Records destroyed by fire in 1861.

Isaac was the First Professor of Mathematics and Physics at William and Mary College.

Arrived in Virginia aboard the Peter and Anthony 20 Sep 1700; settled at Manakin; married Madeleine Parenteau. See C. Allen, "Isaac Lefebure (Lefevre) of Manakin Town and His Immediate Descendants," 74 Virginia Magazine of History & Biography 26-33 (1966)

Isaac, the fourth son of Johanne was born on the farm in East Lampeter Tnshp. In his father's will he was given the Southwest half of the home 200 acre plantation. After his marriage, he & Elizabeth lived here (two miles north of Bridgeport & just east of the Conestoga Creek). In 1784 Isaac and Elizabeth bought a plantation of 223 acres in Upper Leacock Tnsp from James Scott for $8827. They lived here there entire lives.

Isham Fuqua was a Baptist minister of Bedford Co., Virginia. On 27 June 1796, he was given permission to perform marriage ceremonies, and many of his relatives were married by him, including his eldest son, the Rev. Peter Fuqua. Isham Fuqua had a family of nine children, two daughters and seven sons. Six of the seven sons also because Baptist ministers, as well as several of his grandsons.
On September 25, 1804, John Otey sold to the "trustees of the Baptist Church lately convened in Liberty in the county of Bedford under the care of Isham Fuqua, their pastor, to wit: James Bramblet, John Hancock, Joseph Fuqua, and John Otey, for $15.00, one and one-half acres adjoining the town of Liberty, for the purpose of building a Baptist Meeting house on." This transaction can be found in Bedford Co., Va. Deed Book K11, on pages 1071 and 1072.
The house was built of brick and was used as a church, called "Little Otter" until 1850 when it was sold and converted into a residence. In 1850, the turstees of Little Otter Church - Armistead Otey, Benjamin H. Mansfield, Abner Fuqua, Abraham Fuqua, and Adam J. Boyer - purchased from the estate of James Meyse, for $290, the lot on Main Street where the present church stands. At that time, the name was changed to Liberty Baptist Church. In 1901, the name of the town was changed to Bedford, and the name of the church then became Bedford Baptist Church.
In 1805, Isham Fuqua organized Suck Spring and Timber Ridge Baptist Churches in Bedford Co., Virginia, and apparently migrated shortly after that time - or at least by 1810 - to Davidson Co., Tennessee, near Nashville. He was accompanied by most of his children. Isham Fuqua apparently died before the 1820 census, since the census lists only his wife and two children at that time.

Israel Stoughton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Israel Stoughton (1603?-1644) was an early English colonist in Massachusetts, and later a Parliamentarian officer in the First English Civil War.

Life
Born in England, a younger brother of John Stoughton, he emigrated to New England in 1632. He settled at Dorchester, of which he was admitted a freeman on 5 November 1633. He was chosen representative for Dorchester in the assemblies of 1634 and 1635.

When the colony was disturbed by the antinomian disputes, Stoughton wrote a book which attacked the constitution of the colony and offended the general court. The author somewhat strangely petitioned that the book might be ‘forthwith burnt, as being weak and offensive.’ In spite of Stoughton's subsequent submission, he was declared incapable of holding office for three years. This sentence, however, was remitted in 1636, and Stoughton was chosen assistant in 1637.

He was entrusted with the command of the Massachusetts force against the Pequot Indians, where he took brutal measures. Stoughton was annually chosen as assistant till 1643, and in 1639 he, together with John Endecott acted as a commissioner on behalf of Massachusetts to settle a boundary dispute with Plymouth Colony.

Stoughton visited England towards the end of 1643 or the beginning of 1644, returned to America, and crossed again towards the end of 1644. He was then appointed a lieutenant-colonel in the parliamentary army, and soon afterwards died at Lincoln. His children included William Stoughton, best known as the chief magistrate of the Salem witch trials.

It appears that Thomas Bennett and his wife, Nancy Barr, had only one child. They were married in 1826 and had only one child, a daughter, in both the 1830 and 1840 census. In the 1850 census, Thomas Bennett is enumerated adjacent to John W. Hargrove. John Hargrove and his wife, Rachel Carolyn Bennett Hargrove, are both buried in Alta Vista Cemetery where Thomas is buried. It appears that Rachel Carolyn Bennett Hargrove is daughter in the 1830 and 1840 census and that she is an only child. (Hat Tip to Naomi Alvis)

It is believed that the Maxey family is of French Huguenot descent.

The Huguenots began with John Calvin a protestant leader following after Luther. Converts to the teachings of John Calvin became known as Huguenots.

The Edict of Nantes in 1685 by King Henry IV granted Huguenots some toleration; however, King Louis XIV revoked this edict causing many of the Huguenots to flee from France with many finally settling in the English “New World”, specifically Virginia.

It is indicated that records of Dedham, Massachusetts show that Thwait(s) Strickland was a signer of the 1635 Covenant that established Dedham and was an original settler there. Dedham is on the Charles river, near present day Boston. Thwaite received two grants of land in Dedham (one a grant of six acres of planting land, Oct 27,1640), and was presumably a farmer there for the next 26 years. His name appears on the Dedham tax lists until 1661. During these years he married Elizabeth Sheppard and had five children. These births are listed in the records of the Dedham town clerk.

In 1662, he was in the Westerly, RI/Stonington, CT, area which reportedly was still a wilderness (One source says they lived in Misquamicut, a peninsula near Stonington). His son Ephriam was probably born there, Feb 3,1662. In addition to the testimony of Thomas Stanton, already cited, it is reported by Connecticut Colonial Records, vol. 2, page 546, that in 1670, Daniel Gookin of Cambridge, MA claimed a right in the Pequot country which had been incorporated in the new
town of Stonington, one of his evidences being the fact that in May 1662 he had built a dwelling house there for his tennant, "Thait Strickland". Thwaite must have returned to Dedham later, as his name appears again on the tax list of 1669. He died, probably in Glastonbury, CT, in 1669 or early 1670. His estate was settled by the Court at Hartford in 1670.

Grt Mig Beg: "There is not the slightest reason to assume any connection between Thwaite and John Strickland except that they were born with the same surname." -- Jacobus, TAG vol 21

"I don't think there is a chance that Thwaite Strickland was a son of John Strickland of Jamaica. Probably you are familiar with the Strickland notes I published in American Genealogist, Vol. 19,
pp44-45; Vol 20, pp207-212, and Vol. 21, pp85-92. In writing these, I had the benefit of the long article by Herbert Seversmith on John Strickland and his sons-in-law in Vol. II of my magazine, was aided by Dr. Robert Furman who had made a study of the Furman-Strickland connections and had dug in original sources of Long Island, and I put a great deal of study into the problems involved. I think the conclusions I published concerning John Strickland, his supposed brother Edmund, and Thwaite, can be sustained. There is no evidence whatever that John Strickland had more than three surviving children: (1) a daughter that married John Lum (not, Loanus, the name is spelled Loame in Strickland's will and was Lome in England, (2) a daughter who married John Smith, (3) a daughter who married Samuel Matthews. He may have had a fourth daughter, Elizabeth, wife of Jonas Wood "Oram". (Joanna wife of Jonas Wood "Halifax" was definitely not his daughter).

The statement in the Seamon Genealogy that John Seamon married Elizabeth Strickland daughter of John is not based on any records. Her name was Elizabeth. A Seamon descendant writing about 1800 stated on the basis of family knowledge or tradition that this wife was a "Miss Strickland" without stating her first name or parentage. This was of course later amplified. If the tradition is correct, she was most probably daughter of Edmund Strickland rather than of John.

Thwaite Strickland had no connection of any kind with John and never at any time lived in any town where John had lived.

Pope's Pioneers: "Thwaites or Thweights, Dedham, propr. 27 (8) 1640. Wife Elizabeth adm. chh. 3 (3) 1650; ch. Elizabeth b. 12 (2) 1647, John b. 17 (12) 1648, Rebecca bapt. 19 (11) 1650, Joseph b. 22 (11) 1654, Jonathan b. 23 (4) 1657."

It is likely that Amer and his family were Huguenots. Several thousand of these non-Catholic followers of Calvinism sought freedom from religious persecution by immigrating to the Colonies and settling in Manakintown, a Hugeunot settlement on the James River. Amer arrived in the Colonies without his parents at age 14. He was brought over in 1677, with 13 others from France and Great Britain, to help work 700 acres in upper New Kent County owned by the two men who transported the 14 immigrants, John Webb and John Rea. Eventually, he purchased his own land and became a prosperous farmer. At least three of his children were baptized in the church of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent.

Records indicate the sons and daughters were married into prominent families and the Via in general were known to reproduce "like flies." Via were also known then and in later years to marry into the Indian Tribes. Amer and Margaret's son John married Mary Powhatan, a member of the Powhatan Tribe, the tribe of Pocahontas. John and Mary settled in Amherst County, Virginia, where, at that time, the Monacan Tribe did not allow white people to settle unless they were part Indian or married to an Indian.

1677 Amer Via (one of 14 persons in group) is transported to Virginia by John Rea and John Webb of New Kent Co. VA.

DAVID VIA Sr. aka DAVID VIAR. David married Elizabeth and settled down as well in Amherst County. David fought on the Continental Side during the REVOLUTION like his father and Brothers. The first record of a Via in America was in 1688, when Amer Via, of New Kent County, Virginia lost a daughter, no name. He and his wife Margaret had other daughters later, Judith Via, baptized April 11, 1699, Margaret - baptized August 3, 1701, and baptized Mary February 27, 1703/1704. There may have been others. It is thought they also had a least two sons, William and Robert. We have no definite proof these two were Amer's sons, but since he is the only Via on record at that time who could have been their father, we can assume he was. Robert Via remained in the Tidewater, and his descendants, at least some brancches of them, spell the name Viar. The Margaret baptized in 1710, married Daniel Maupin, and came to Albemarle and settled at White Hall. She was the mother of all the Almarle Maupins.

Excerpts from "The Totem Pole" by Harold Houston Via Issue #6

Amer Via and his wife Margaret, who after a frustrating and fruitless living in Williamsburg that culminated in his having to serve a few days in the stockage for his stubbornness. His decision was to strike out into the wilderness that was at that time inhabited only by Indians. His family at that time consisted himself and his wife Margaret, four perhaps five sons. The four known were William, Robert, Gideon and Josias, then perhaps David who was a baby when they struck out on their own. They followed the Chickohominy river northward and then overland about twenty miles to New Castle Ferry on the Pamunkey River and settled slightly westward on what was to be a site for a church. At this time, this territory was listed under Blisland Parish but before the first of four daughters were born, this was changed to St. Peter's Parish where the recording of the death of Naomi occurred on March 26, 1688. The birth of the other daughters followed, Judeth on April 11, 1688, Margaret on August 3, 1701, and Mary on Feb. 27, 1703. We were able to trace most of these children, one back to Williamsburg when Margaret married Gabriel DeMaupin in 1720. Gabriel Senior ran a tavern in Williamsburg and seemed to have done well. At his death his property wentto his son Gabriel, who was the oldest and Daniel, who was with hisuncle. William Via, along with his sister, Margaret Via Maupin, went to what is now Albemarle County. Daniel settled at White Hall on the oldMaupin place, and William, who also had a son named William, and as faras we have been able to learn, he was the one who settled nearDoylesville on what is known as the Rhodes Via place.

The Story of Gabriel and Marie Maupin by Dorothy Shaffett: ...dughter of Micajah Via and _ Burnett. Michajah Via was the son of William Via. The emigrant, Wm. Via, was the grandfather according to Dr. Socretes Maupin, hence Micajah Via must have been the nephew of Mafgaret Via Maupin. there is some little doubt as to the emigrant Via's name. He is commonly sopken of as "William", but Dr. Maupin usese the name "William" but once and then only with a question mark. In the Register of St. Peter's Parish (which once included Hanover the home of the Via's) are the following entries: - "Judith, Dau. of Amer Via baptiz, the 11 Aprill. Margaret, Dauter of Amer Via baptiz 3 Aug 1701. Mary, daut of Amer Via Baptiz. 17 Febry 1703/1" Inasmuch as Mararet Via, wife of Daniel Maupin, was born in 1701, it seems that she and the above named Margaret might be one and the same person.Death between 1708 - 1711 Came to Jamestown, Va about 1683 and bought land abt 1677. See Tyler's Quarterly Vol. 31, pp 274-277

He was married to Elizabeth before 1708. (4) Children were: Margaret Via.

Was possibly a forester on the Maupin estates in France. Arrived in VA in 1677, one of 14 persons imported by John Rea and John Webb of New Kent Co., VA. On 1704 tax list in St. Peter's Parish, New kent Co., VA (Now Hanover Co.)

It is thought Isaac Weldon/Welden came from Pittsylvana County, VA, to Abbeville, SC. Isaac was a son of Jonathan Weldon who had died in Pittsylvania County, VA, abt 1782. Isaac was born c.1768, first appearing in Abbeville as a member of the
Turkey Creek Baptist church at Saluda along with some of his relatives,
including Luke and Nancy Hanks. He appears last in 1800 Abbeville Census as
head of household with several small children.

It is thought that he is one of four brothers who were members of the aristocratic Panfay Church, a branch of the Baptist church of Swansea. In his will, David Davis of this group included a sermon that was in keeping with the preaching of our Rev. William Davis, but no children are named in the will. Perhaps William was a son not named because he had gone to America. According to tradition and to the work of some Seventh Day Baptist writers, while at Oxford University, Willisam Davis espoused the Quaker religion and at age 21, in the year of 1684 with other followers o f William Penn, sailed for Philadelphia. In 1691 he and 47 other persons, separated from William Penn and became a follower of George Keith. Some five years later, Willaim Davis was Baptized by Rev.Thomas Killingworth and joined the Pennypek Baptist Church near Philadelphia, of which he was made pastor . He was bannished from that church 17 February 1698 for his unorthodox views and subsequently joined Abel Noble and became a Seventh Day Baptist. In vindication of the doctrine for which he was expelled from Peenypek, he published a book entitled, "Jesus the Crucified Man, the Eternal Son of God" William Davis returned to Pennypek late in the year 1699 and organized a Seventh Day Baptist Church as a brranch of the Providence Church. In 1706 he applied for membership to the New Port ,Rhode Island Seventh Day Baptist Church. On Oct.12,1710 William Davis and his wife Elizabeth applied to Westerly,R.I. for membership in that church. They wererecievedinto that church July 14,1711 and he was invited to preach there in 1713. William Davis recieved word of his fathers death and planned to claim his share in the estate. On March 1,1714 he requested a letter to a church in England. He was asked by his friends to remain in America and at the last minute he consented to do so. Soon after May 16,1717 he left Westerly and settled in Pennsylvania, where in 1724 , he suffered severe loss by fire. From his home in Stonington,Connecticut, October 21,1734, William agian requested membership in the Westerly Church, which was granted December 16,1734. so aftera1740 a settlement of Seveth Day Baptists was formed in Monmouth Co., New Jersey near the Manasquan River. Joseph Maxson and his family of Stonington, Ct. had sailed for the mouth of the Manasquan River in the fall of 1742, but due to storms and ice they did not reach their destination until the spring of 1743, having spent the winter on Long Island. The Seventh Day Baptist Church at Shrewsbury, New Jersey was formally organized in 1745 with William Davis as minister. William died late in the same year, 1745.

Wade, Jacob (I2168)

Jacob Jansen was born in 1632 and baptized October 22, 1634, at Etten, North Brabant, Holland. The son of Johannes Marinessen and Wilhelimina Hoannes Adriense, he became the progenitor of the Van Etten/Van Atta family after he came to America.
In the mid-1600's, Dutch colonization in America was at a high level of interest, a circumstance that was to lead to Jacob's arrival in the colony at New Netherlands (New York). That story began with a man named Adriaen van der Donck, from Breda in North Brabant province. He first came to New Netherlands in 1641, and was initially involved with the development of a settlement colony at Yonkers. In early 1652, van der Donck was back in Holland. Prospective settlers for those Dutch colonies, or servants for those already established in New Netherlands, were hired or recruited in the mother country, generally in the area from which the colonial leader came -- in this case van der Donck from North Brabant.

Van der Donck at that time was seeking farmers for his Yonkers colony in the neighborhood of Breda, his birthplace. Among several he recruited were Aert Pieters Tack and Jacob Jansz/Jansen from nearby Etten, according to papers dated May 15, 1652. The two were contracted for six years. Such contracts ranged from two to six years. Passage money in these cases was usually paid by the employer. In New Netherlands, bed and board were furnished in addition to wages, which for farmhands ranged from 100 to 150 guilders a year, depending on age and experience.

Yonkers was just north of New Amsterdam (New York City). Jacob Jansen apparently made the crossing to America in the year 1652, but it is not clear whether he was at Yonkers or whether he was diverted to Esopus, first settled by the Dutch that year. Esopus, named for the Indian tribe in that area, was on the west bank of the Hudson River, about 75 miles north of Yonkers. Jacob worked as a farmhand for Aert Pieters/Petersen Tack at Esopus about 1658, and was referred to as "head farmer of Tack". Relations with the Indians were not good at that time, and the New Netherlands director-general, Petrus (Peter) Stuyvesant, urged an agreement which the settlers there signed, May 31, 1658, to erect a palisaded village and demolish their separate dwellings.

A brief war with the Indians, known as the First Esopus War, began after soldiers and settlers senselessly shot three Indians in September 1659. An uneasy peace treaty was signed in July 1660. Despite the tense situation, the community kept growing and was named Wiltwyck by Stuyvesant in 1661. Then, in June 1663, Indians attacked the village, massacred a number of residents, took others as prisoners, and burned many homes. The record states that Aert Tack was never seen again. A second peace treaty was concluded with the Indians in May 1664, and later that year an important step was taken by Jacob Jansen. But before that, English forces seized New Amsterdam, September 8, 1664, and 17 days later Wiltwyck came under the authority of the Duke of York. The state of New Netherlands and the city of New Amsterdam were both renamed New York. The name Wildwyck fell into disuse, and the town was again generally referred to as Esopus.

As was common in those days, Jacob assumed the name of his birthplace, and after the publishing of the banns, he was known as Jacob Jansen von Etten (from Etten) later, the von became Anglicized to "Van." His wife was Annetje Gelvins, interpretation of old Dutch records by experts reveals. Her name was written in several ways, including Annetje Adriantse Gelvins and Annetje Adriantse Kam. These led genealogists to say that her father's name, therefore, was Adrian and his last name Gelvins or Kam.

The nature of a number of difficulties involving her first husband, Aert Pietersen Tack, emerges through a sequence of court cases beginning in 1662. There were several problems with employees over wages, and that November (1662) he mortgaged the grain crop to be harvested the following year. Tack apparently left before the fall of 1663, either as the result of the Indian raid or under cover of it. His wife harvested the grain and was enjoined by creditors from using the harvest (except that which the court ordered her paid for her work in harvesting). In May 1664, further evidence of Tack's indebtedness, in this case, for cattle appeared. In July, the court took steps to condemn Tack's property for his absenting himself, and to sell it to satisfy a list of creditors.

In October of 1664, Jacob Jansen sued for wages due him. The following month, Jacob himself was sued to collect a debt of wheat which he admitted but explained that he couldn't pay due to being sick with fever. He was granted time until the Tack estate was settled, when he presumably could collect wages due him. In January 1665, Annetje Ariaens requested relief from her debts because her effects had been sold "on behalf of creditors of her absconded husband". That same month, Jacob again requested the court that he be paid his wages from the estate in the amount of "388 guilders heavy money in wheat". He was told he could be paid after prior preference creditors were satisfied. Jacob was still having some financial problems in March 1666, when he was sued for not having paid his house rent of one schepel (about ¾ of a bushel) of wheat per month for 13 months. As late as March 1668, when he was sued for wheat due on the purchase of a house and lot, he could not pay because his wife's estate had been sold to satisfy her former husband's creditors.

After that, his financial situation apparently improved. In 1670, there is mention of Jacob Jansen Van Etten as a resident of Horley (Hurley), near Kingston. In September 1669, along with some changes and new villages nearby, Esopus became Kingston, the name that has remained since except for a brief time in 1673-4 when the Dutch briefly regained control and the town was temporarily named Swaenenburgh. But things quieted down after that and ended a turbulent 23-year period from its founding that had included two Indian wars and three changes in national allegiance.

Jacob Jansen Van Etten, according to one old account, loved to tell his children about the narrow escape of his grandmother Maria from the Spanish soldiers in Rotterdam, Holland, in 1570, when she was five years old. The Catholic Spanish killed several thousand Protestant Dutch. Maria's father Erick had the rest of the family hide in a small cubbyhole closet in an attic corner farthest from its small window. Erick, it is said, killed pet cats and splattered the blood over a dummy corpse. When the Spanish soldiers saw this, they thought their associates had already been there, so they moved on.

Old records have disclosed that Jacob was a petitioner for a minister for the old church at Esopus in 1676. Jacob Jansen was one of those who signed a petition for control of local affairs, January 26, 1684, mentioned in Old Ulster II (257-262), which so angered Governor Thomas Donger that all the signers were arrested and fined. Jacob Jansen Van Etten took an oath of allegiance to England in 1689 in Ulster County, N. Y. by order of the governor .

He then resided. at the town of Hurley. Jacob Jansen Van Etten died in 1690 at Hurley, survived by his widow, five sons, and four daughters.

In 1718, the property of Jacob Jansen Van Etten was divided among his children by conveyance from his widow to each of them. About that time, the sons and their families were seeking new homes in the then sparsely settled Country along the Hudson River, and in the Delaware River valley, first in northwestern New Jersey and a little later on the Pennsylvania side.

Jacob Jansen, son of Johannes Martinessen & Wilhelmina Hoannes, was born about 1632, and baptised October 22, 1634, at Etten, eight miles from Breda, Holland. (The surname was made by adding "sen"---meaning son---to the father's first name. In Dutch, Johannes and Jan both mean John, so the parents probably used the shorter name of Jan in naming their son Jansen.)

Jacob Jansen came to America in 1658 or earlier and settled at Esopus (later called Wiltwyck, and finally Kingston in 1667) on the Hudson River in the Dutch colony of New Netherland (now New York state). He worked as a farm hand for Aert Pietersen Tack. One record refers to Jacob as the "Head Farmer of Tack."

On June 7, 1663, Indians raided the villages of Esopus and nearby Hurley. At Esopus, Aert Pietersen Tack's home was destroyed by fire, along with 12 other houses and the church. Fifteen men, four women, and two children were killed and scalped, and 1 man, 12 women, and 30 children were carried away by the Indians. Aert Tack disappeared. He apparently deserted his wife Annetje and their two children (a son Cornelius and an unborn daughter) and returned to Holland, where he reportedly took another wife. Annetje Arians was granted a divorce from Aert Pietersen Tack on August 21, 1664, at Fort Amsterdam. Annetje may be the Annetje Adrianse who was baptised August 29, 1645, in Amsterdam, daughter of Aerjan Janss & Grietjen Jansen.

The marriage register of the Old Dutch Church of Kingston records: "Jacob Jansen, young man of Etten, in Brabant, and Annetje Arians, of Amsterdam, deserted wife of Aaert Pietersen Tach, both residing here" (in Wiltwyck, name changed to Kingston in 1667). First publication of marriage banns, Dec 28, 1664; second, Jan 4; third, Jan 11, 1665. This was only a few months after the English had conquered the Dutch New Netherland and renamed it New York.

The new English government required the adoption of surnames to distinguish one Dutchman from another of the same name. At that time there were three Jacob Jansens in Wiltwyck. One record calls our Jacob: "long Jacob," so he must have been the tallest of the three. Our Jacob took the name of his birthplace and became Jacob Jansen von Etten. (Von means from.) Later, von became Anglicised to Van and thus the family acquired the name Van Etten. Later some branches spelled it Van Eaton or Vaneaton; others shortened it to Eaton; and some changed it to Van Atta. Our Jacob first appears in the records as Van Etten in 1670, when his son Adrian was baptised.

In 1689, Jacob took the oath of allegiance to England. He died about 1693 and is supposed to be buried at Hurley, Ulster County, New York. He was survived by his wife and 9 or 10 children: Jan, Sytie, Arien "Adrian", Pieter, Petronella---thought to be a twin to Pieter, Heiltje, Emanuel, Tietje, Jacobus, and Geesje.

Jacob Wade served as a soldier with his twin brother Isaac in Capt. George Lambert's Co. by enlistment. Capt. Lambert's Co. was in the Virginia Line on Continental Establishment in the 14th Regt. commanded by Col. Charles Lewis. They enlisted in the spring of 1777 for the term of three years, and were honorably discharged.

Above is contained in a letter by Capt. Ceorge Lambert in the Virginia State Libarary at Richmond, Va.

Jacob Wade was at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. He was also in the Battles of Brandywine and Germantown.

Jacob and wife Ann lived on a large farm located on the branches of the Great Otter River, Wolf Creek, Fiddler's Creek and Little Otter. Part of this farm was between the Big and Little Otter. Their daughter married William Carter and William and Mary lived on a farm adjacent to Mary's parents. Following the death of Mary's mother, Jacob Wade remarried and a few years after he died, William and Mary Carter migrated to Ohio and settle in Logan County near Rushylvania.

JACOB WADE, “LATE SOLDIER OF THE CONTINENTAL LINE”

Bedford Co., VA, Court Order Book 22, 1828-1829, p. 203, recorded information that Elizabeth Wade who died before 1877, “was the daughter and only heir of Jacob Wade late soldier of the Continental Line” in the American Revolution. Elizabeth was the wife of EPHRAIM BONDURANT (abt. 1790 - 1877) of Bedford Co., VA. Ephraim is believed to be one of the children of John Bondurant and Martha ? who moved from Buckingham Co. to Bedford Co., VA, about the time of the Revolution. This John may have been the baby son of John and Sarah R. Taylor Bondurant, who was baptized in King William Parish in 1737, Goochland Co., VA. The Bedford Co. document would qualify descendants of Elizabeth and Ephraim for membership in SAR or DAR, based on Jacob Wade’s service.

Jacob Jansen came from the town of Etten, six miles from Breda, in the
province of North Brabant, Holland and to distinguish him from the numerous other Jansens, according to the usual Dutch custom, he was given the suffix Van Etten.

Passenger & Immigration Lists Index: O-Z, vol. 3, page 2146 - Van Etten,
Jacob Jansen; n.a. (no age given); New Netherlands (Place of Arrival),
1620-1664 Source: "Immigrants to the Middle Colonies: A Consolidation of
Ship Passenger Lists & Associated Data From The NY Genealogical &
Biographical Record, page 11" by Michael Tepper, ed.

Jacob Jansen came to America in 1658 or before & Peter Stuyvesant was the
Governor of the Dutch Colony of New Netherlands (now New York State). Upon arrival on this continent, Jacob settled at Wiltwyck (now Kingston) on the Hudson River.

Worked as head farmhand to Aert (Arthur) Pietersen Tack/Tach. Settlement of Wiltwyck, New Netherland (now Kingston, NY) - "The Seond Esopus War broke out on June 7, 1663. Aert Pietersen Tack's house was destroyed along with twelve other houses and the church. Fifteen men, four women, and two children were killed, and thirty children with twelve women were carried away by the Indians. (ibid. Also The Van Etten Saga, by Leslie
Van Etten, 1970, and Documentary History of New York, Vol. 4, published by Charles Van Renthuysen, 1851).

Jacob Jansen Von Etten was "head farmer" of Aert Tack's farm at this time
but Aert Tach himself had already deserted his wife and returned to Holland. During the later part of 1663 and 1664, Jacob was attempting to collect his wages from the Tach estate. {See Jacobus Van Etten, Chapter 1, by Eva A. Scott)

On August 21, 1664, Annetje Arians was granted a divorce from Aert Pietersen Tach at Fort Amsterdam. (See records of Dutch Court at Fort Amsterdam).

On January 11, 1665, Jacob Jansen Von Etten married Annetje Arians in Kingston, NY (Kingston Church Records).

In 1676, Jacob Jansen Van Etten was a petitioner for a minister to the
church at Esopus, New York. On January 26, 1684, he signed the Petition for the control of local affairs, which greatly angered the English Colonial Governor, Thomas Dongan. His youngest child (or record) was born in 1688. In 1689 he took the Oath of Allegiance to England. He died about 1693 at Hurley, New York and is buried there. (See The Van Etten Saga by Leslie Van Etten, pages 29-31. Also, Jacobus Jansen Van Etten by Eva A. Scott, page 4, and Olde Ulster, vol. 2, No. 9, 1906, Pges 257-262).

"The English captured New Netherland from the Dutch in September 1664 and
changed the name to New York. The old Dutch naming system was probably
confusing to the English and about this time, the Dutch families were asked to choose a family name. Since Jacob Jansen had been born in Etten, it was natural for he and Annetje to adopt the name von (from) Etten as a surname. The "von" was soon changed to the English form "Van". Thus began the Van Etten family of America.

The children of Jacob and Annatje grew up and each married a Dutch
neighbour. A few remained near home, but others sought their fortune by
moving" - The Van Etten Family of America, Leslie Van Etten

Oath of Allegiance to England in 1689. Lived in Marbletown, NY. First
appears in records as "Van Etten" in 1670 when son Adrian, their third
child, was baptised.

Marriage record: "1665, 11 Jan. Jacob Jansen, young man of Etten in Brabant and Annetje Arians of Amsterdam, deserted wife of Aert Pietersen Tack, both residing here (in Wiltwyck now Kingston). First publication of Banns, 28 Dec. 1664; second 4 Jan., third 11 Jan. 1665."

Aert deserted his wife some time between December 12, 1662 and January 23, 1663. His wife, Annetje was carrying her second child at that time. Aert probably returned to Holland, where he married another woman. Annetje was granted a divorce from Aert Tack August 21, 1664 at Fort Amsterdam.

Jacques "Jacob" Remy (1640-1721) is the original Ramey Immigrant to the Colony of Virginia in the United States. He was a French Huguenot (Protestant) refugee of noble birth, born in Picardy, Lorraine, France, about 1630. Jacques Remy married Francoise Haldat in France, daughter of Antoine Haldat II, Seigneur de Bonnet, and Madelaine Marchand.

During his childhood, and after his marriage to Francoise, he experienced religious persecution by the Catholic government of France. Around 1654, Jacob and Francois fled to his cousin Pierre's home in Germany and then on to England, where they sought passage to America.

Because he had left all his possessions in France and could not afford the passage to America,(Jacob) Jacques Remy, a Huguenot refugee and a nobleman by birth, was brought to Virginia in 1654 by Nicholas Spencer Esq, under the bonded indentured slave system. He was a bonded slave for 7 years.

In "Original Lists of Persons of Quality From Great Britain To America: Entries from 1606-1702, Nicholas Spencer is Appointed Secretary of the Colony of Virginia, during the pleasure of Charles I(reign 1600-1649) Vol 31. P.6

Francoise Haldat, his wife, also sailed for Virginia under a bonded slave indentured agreement to John Brayton also in 1654, but she perished at sea. The ship voyages were very harsh especially for women and a woman of noble birth would have been more fragile than the average woman.

Jacques(Jacob) (his name was anglicized in Virginia) Remy served his indenture to Nicholas Spencer in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Under this Indenture System large land owners and other influential men in the colonies made a contract whereby many worthy men and women were obligated to work out their passage money as servants to their “masters by indenture”. These so called Masters received from the crown 50 additional acres of land for each person so imported.
Jacob had a brother Pierre that had a son Abraham and he came into Virginia in early 1700's he is listed as nephew of Jacob of Westmoreland and a Huguenot.

Jacob worked for others after his indenture was over, several years before he was able to save enough to buy the land in Westmoreland County in 1671. He married Mary Spencer that same year (Possibly his masters daughter).

In the book "First Families of America" on page 683 is a listing: Jacob (Ramy) Ramey ca. 1635-1721, from Ivoy, Lorraine, France, 1660, settled in Westmoreland Co Va, m 1671 Mary Spencer.
Jacob Remy Married: #2 1668 Mary Spencer: Born In Virginia 1650 Mary is sometimes Referred to as Mary Miles because someone saw the will of Miles Marmaduke and thought it was Marmaduke Miles and was his daughter. This is not so. It is most likely, since Miles Marmaduke is close to Jacob Remy’s age that they were friends.

sources:(Notable Americans)( Bible Records of Missouri, Volume II)(Westmoreland County Virginia Wills).

Jacob made a deposition in 1661 stating he carried chains in a survey that was made on Nicholas Spencers land, his master, and he afterwards purchased it. By this deposition he was still a bonded slave in 1661.

When John Armsby died in 1661 in Virginia, his will stated Jacob Remy was living on the land.

This land that Jacob owned was located in the Nominee Forest in Cople Parish near the Nomini River, Westmoreland Co Va, Deed Book 1 p 403; shows "Jacob was deeded by William Pierce, 200 acres of a tract of 1200 acres in Nominee Forest in Cople Parish July 21, 1671. (Nominee Forest was the wooded land adjacent to Nomini River and its branches.)

Jacob still lived on this land in 1702 another Deed Book of Westmoreland Co Va, Deed Book 3 p 72; states "John Spencer godfather of John Thomas on April 29, 1702, deeds to John Thomas 50 acres of land, being part of 200 acres formerly sold by Jacob Reamy unto my(godfather) father Nicholas Spencer Esq dec'd, being in the Nominy forest, bounded as follows; a path leading from Jacob Reamy's to Richard Doziers", also French, who lived next to the Remy plantation.

Both these spellings of the name are listed in the same paragraph. Showing how many names were changed.

In the Westmoreland Co Va Deed Book 7 p 336; "Abraham Smith on Sept 27 1721 deeds to John Ramey 50 acres being part of a deed of 200 acres of land bought of Jacob Ramey Sr by Coll Nicholas Spencer and afterward made over to John Spencer Gent by deed of gift to Abraham Smith his godson, etc, land commonly called and known by name of Beatles Neck, and bounded on the land of Jacob Ramey Sr"

This John Ramey(Remy) was Jacob Jr's son. John was married to a Mary Smith, possibly Abrahams daughter.

This listing may have been an interpretation of the original since Ramey is listed in this paragraph.

Jacob was naturalized September 29, 1680, and became a British subject.
The Naturalization Papers of Jacob Remy "A natural born subject of the French King," took the oath of allegiance at Jamestown Virginia on September 29, 1680, before Sir Henry Cicheley, Knt., His Majestie's Deputy Governor, etc., and the same was recorded October 8, 1702.

When Jacques (Jacob) Remy died in 1721 he left two sons,
William Remy and Jacob Jr Remy, to carry on the family name.

Their descendants quickly began to migrate through Virginia to Kentucky, West Virginia, and many other colonies which later became states.

In his will, dated July 1702, Jacob still owned 200 acres of land:

He left his wife Mary, the furniture in her room and his oldest son, William, one shilling, and his youngest son Jacob, 200 acres of land, on which Jacob Jr. lived.

Westmoreland Co Va Will Book 7 p 254. Also Fothergills Wills p.75.

Jacob Remy's surname has changed in spelling many times through documents and census takers.

Ramey, Ramy, Ramu, Reamy, Reamey, Remey, Reme, Remi, are just a few of this same surname.

Jacques (Jacob) Remy was a French Huguenot and nobleman by birth. He fled from Huguenot persecution in France to England. He later immigrated to the Colonies in 1654 as an indentured servant of Nicholas Spencer Esq, Secretary to the Virginia Colony in Westmoreland County during the reign of King Charles II (1606-1702). He changed his given name to Jacob on arrival in the new world. He served his indenture and worked as a free man for other people until he was able to become a landowner in that county in 1671 and married Mary Miles that same year. He became a naturalized citizen in 1680. His will is in Westmoreland County, Virginia Will Book 7, page 254 at Montross, Virginia, probated Dec 5 1721.

It is not known what happened to Jacques' first wife Madelaine Marchand. There is no record of any children from that marriage. Jacques second wife Francoise Haldat also started for Virginia under indenture to John Brayton in 1654, but died at sea (Original Lists of Emigrants, Vol. I--1600 to 1637; Vol. II--1662 to 1700 by John C.

THE REMY FAMILY IN FRANCE AND VIRGINIA

The ancient French family of Remi (Remy) was originally a tribe of Gaul (Northern France and Belgium). The family was represented in French history by Bishop Saint Remi of Rheims (437-533), Abbot Remi of Strasbourg who died in 768, Archbishop Remi of Rouen who died in 771, the King of the Lombards (750-800), and many other famous people. Didier Remy of this French family was ennobled on 13 Sept. 1554 and died in 1556. His son George Remy was also ennobled. George's son Jacques Remy was born in Ivoy in the Department of Ardennes about 1545-7. Jacques Remy became a Huguenot and was killed in Ivoy. His son Pierre Remy who was born about 1600 was also a Huguenot and was killed. Pierre's son Jacques Remy was born about 1630 in Picardy, Lorraine.
Jacques Remy married Francoise, daughter of Antoine Haldat II, Seigneur de Bonnet, and Madelaine Marchand. Jacques and Francoise fled to England because of Huguenot persecution. Jacques Remy, a huguenot refugee and a nobleman by birth was brought to Virginia in 1654 by Nicholas Spencer Esq, under the indenture system. His wife Francoise started for Virginia under indenture to John Brayton also in 1654, but died at sea.

Jacob (his name was anglicized in Virginia) Remy served his indenture in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Then he worked as a free man for other people until he was able to become a landowner in that county in 1671, and married Mary Miles that same year. Jacob died in 1721.

Jacob Remy (1630-1721) -married twice

1st marriage Francoise Haldat in France
2nd marriage Mary Marmaduke Miles
Married in 1671 in America

Jacques Remy of Ivoy, Lorraine died in 1568. His sons, Johannes, Matthew, Jacques and Pierre were Huguenots and had to flee for their lives. It is his grandson Jacques (son of Pierre) that was indentured to Nicholas Spencer and came to Virginia in 1654. His Uncle Jacques went to Greenhausen on the Rhine (Germany). He registered a Coat of Arms in Rotterdam.

http://www.potterflats.com/d826.html

Jacob Remy was married to Francoise Haldat (daughter of Antoine Haldat, II Signeur DE BONNET, and Magdalene Marchand ).

Jacob Remy was a French Huguenot like his father, Pierre Remy, and his grandparents. Francoise Haldat's family were also Huguenots. During Jacob's childhood and after his marriage to Francoise, he experienced severe religious persecution by the Catholic government of France. Because this persecution was life-threatening Jacob and his bride were forced to flee from France to England. From England, he tried to find a way to the New World where religious freedom was assured.

Because Jacob Remy had left all his worldly goods in France and could not afford passage to America, he became an indentured servant bound to Nicholas Spenser, the Secretary of the Colony of Virginia, under King Charles II . His bride Francoise also became an indentured servant and was bound to John Brayton. They departed from England in 1654. During the trip, Francoise died and Jacob landed safely at Virginia in 1655.

Jacob Remy settled in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Most likely he gained his freedom when he married his master's daughter, Mary in 1671. Jacob Remy purchased 200 acres of land in Westmoreland County from William Pierce on 21 July 1671. This land was located in the Nominee Forest in Cople Parish near the Nomini River.

On 29 September 1680 Jacob traveled to James City, Virginia, and stood before Sir Henry Chichley, Knight, His Majesty's Deputy Governor and Commander in Chief to obtain Virginia citizenship. He became a naturalized citizen after swearing an oath of allegiance. Jacob was referred to as a subject of the French King before his allegiance to England and becoming a citizen of Virginia. Jacob Remy was naturalized in 1680. The following is a copy of his naturalization papers:

Smith to her granddaughter, Leola Enoch K. Smith was looking for adventure. He left Tennessee and came to Texas. He fought for Texas independence at the Battle of San Jacinto. After the battle, he returned to Tennessee. He married Elizabeth Jerusha Sowell in Williamsport, Maury County, Tennessee on 29 June 1847. Elizabeth and Enoch K. Smith had two children in Tennessee. Sometime between 1855, when the death of their daughter Martha Ann occurred in Tennessee and the birth of their daughter, Mary Lucinda in 1859, in Bastrop County, Texas is when they migrated to Texas. The exact reason they came to Texas is unknown. But the trip was probably to better their lifes and Texas had large land opportunities.The trip to Texas from Tennessee was made by covered wagons. The long journey took at least nine months, over rough terrain. The Smiths, including brothers, Leonard and Louis Spinks, the Erwins and other families traveled together. Finally settling in the Oakhill Community of Bastrop County, Texas which was established in 1840’s and in the Piney Creek Community.

James Allen was born in Mason County, Kentucky in 1789. Kentucky at that time was part of Virginia. Daniel Boone blazed a trail through the Cumberland Gap, founded Boonesborough which was the 1st chartered town in Kentucky, and lived there from 1775 to 1779.
Mason County was formed in 1788 and Kentucky became a state in 1792.His Dad, Joseph Allen, was in the Virginia Line of the Revolutionary War, and appeared in the 1790 and 1800 US Census.
James married Mary Hyzer in Mason County March 20, 1810. He was 20, just 2 months shy of his 21st birthday and she was 19. They had their 1st 5 Children in Mason County. Then left for Indiana in 1819 where James bought land in Reeve Township, Daviess County. Indiana had just become the 19th state in 1816 so once again the Allen family were true pioneers.
The Allen Family farm is located about 2 miles SouthWest of Alfordsville but, of course there was no Alfordsville then, not till 1850. He and his sons cleared the land and like nearly all of the early settlers there were farmers.
1n 1823 his Mother-in-law, Elizabeth Zumwakt Hyzer, died and was buried where Old Union Church and Cemetery is now. She was the 1st person buried at Old Union. James with a couple of his friends would build a raft, load it up with produce and furs, and float down the White River, to the Ohio, to the Mississippi, and on down to New Orleans where they would sell their load as well as the raft then walk back to Indiana. About in 1835 he didn't return - could have been a wreck of the raft on the river, killed by Indians or the Cave In The Rock gang from southern Illinois, or a robber in the city. He left Mary with 11 kids, the youngest was Eliza who was only 4.
Mary never remarried and it was up to the oldest,Charles,to farm the land and help keep the family together.

James and Kindred Carter moved to Warren County, Ga. around 1780. Kindred was the ancestor of President Jimmy Carter. "Kindred Carter settled in Richmond Co., Ga. on the frontier of the new state along Little Germany Creek. This land became part of Columbia Co. in 1790 and is now in McDuffie Co. lying approximately 35 miles west of Augusta along the old Augusta - Wrightsboro Road. At Kindred's death in 1800, his estate was divided five ways, although only four heirs are known " from an article written by Kenneth H. Thomas, Jr. Historical researcher , Ga. Dept. of Natural Resources. The article goes on to list the different heirs of the two brothers.

Kindred Carter (c. 1750-1800) came to Georgia from the Bertie-Edgecombe-Hertford area of northeastern North Carolina where his family had lived for several generations. He was of the 5th generation in descent from Thomas Carter, Sr. who came in 1637 from England to Isle of Wight County, Virginia. Thomas Carter's only known child was Thomas, Jr., who married Magdalene Moore and left a will in 1710. In that will, Thomas, Jr. did not name all of his children, but Moore Carter (c. 1680-1741) who married Jane and moved to Bertie County, North Carolina, is believed to have been his son. Moore left a will naming a son Isaac who married Ruth and died after 1790. Isaac and Ruth were the parents of Kindred and James, among others. Kindred and James both came to Georgia.

Kindred Carter settled in Richmond County, on the frontier of the new state, along Little Germany creek. This land is now part of McDuffie County, approximately 35 miles west of Augusta, Georgia. At his death in 1800, his estate listed four heirs:

James, b. 1773 in North Carolina
Henry
Jesse
Martha

James Carter married Eleanor "Nellie" Duckworth in 1798 in Columbia County, Georgia. She was a daughter of Jeremiah and Christianna Ramsey Duckworth of Warren and Columbia Counties. The Carters moved permanently to Warren County c. 1815, where they lived along White's Creek on a 500 acre plantation, approximately four miles NW of Thomson, Georgia. Around 1835 James moved to Talbot County to join his brother Jesse and lived in the SW part of the county near Upatoi Creek. It was here that he owned land at the time of his death in Schley County at the plantation of his son Wiley. James had been a cotton planter and a Baptist.

James and Nellie Carter had 9 children:
