| 4054 | Lottie was a lecturer and under the nom-de-plume "Charles M. Clay," wrote several books. During the Civil War she gave "splendid service" as a Southern spy, and with her sister, Virginia, disguised herself as an Irish washerwoman and often penetrated the Federal lines. She was caught and held, but never put on trial, and the charges were dropped. Later she went to England as a correspondent for one of the New York dailies, while abroad she was presented to the French Court during the time of Louis Napoleon. | Moon, Cynthia Charlotte (I53283)

| 4058 | Lucy, Shakespeare, and Anti-CatholicismSir Thomas Lucy, the English Warwickshire squire who is traditionally associated with the youth of William Shakespeare, was born on the 24th of April 1532, the son of William Lucy, and was descended, according to Dugdale, from Thurstane de Cherlecote, whose son Walter received the village of Charlecote from Henry de Montfort about 1190. Walter is said to have married into the Anglo-Norman family of Lucy, and his son adopted the mother's surname. Three of Sir Thomas Lucy's ancestors had been sheriffs of Warwickshire and Leicestershire, and on his father's death in 1552 he inherited Sherborne and Hampton Lucy in addition to Charlecote, which was rebuilt for him by John of Padua, known as John Thorpe, about 1558. By his marriage with Joyce Acton he inherited Sutton Park in Worcestershire, and became in 1586 high sheriff of the county. He was knighted in 1565. He is said to have been under the tutorship of John Foxe, who is supposed to have imbued his pupil with the Puritan principles which he displayed as knight of the shire for Warwick in the parliament of 1571 and as sherif of the county, but as Mrs. Carmichael Stopes points out Foxe only left Oxford in 1545, and in 1547 went up to London, so that the connection must have been short. He often appeared at Stratford-on-Avon as justice of the peace and as commissioner of musters for the county. As justice of the peace he showed great zeal against the Catholics, and took his share in the arrest of Edward Arden in 1583. In 1585 he introduced into parliament a bill for the better preservation of game and grain, and his reputation as a preserver of game gives some color to the Shakespearian tradition connected with his name. Nicholas Rowe, writing in 1710, told a story that Lucy prosecuted Shakespeare for deer-stealing from Charlecote Park in 1585, and that Shakespeare aggravated the offense by writing a ballad on his prosecutor. The trouble arising from this incident is said to have driven Shakespeare from Stratford to London. The tale was corroborated by Archdeacon Davies of Sapperton, Gloucestershire, who died in 1708. The story is not necessarily falsified by the fact that there was no deer park at Charlecote at the time, since there was a warren, and the term warren legally covers a preserve for other animals than hares or rabbits, roe-deer among others. Shakespeare is generally supposed to have caricatured the local magnate of Stratford in his portrait of Justice Shallow, who made his first appearance in the second part of Henry IV, and a second in the Merry Wives of Windsor. Robert Shallow is a justice of the peace in the county of Gloucester and his ancestors have the dozen white luces in their coats, the arms of the Lucys being three luces, while in Dugdale's Warwickshire (ed. 1656) there is drawn a coat-of-arms in which these are repeated in each of the four quarters, making twelve in all. There are many considerations which make it unlikely that Shallow represents Lucy, the chief being the noteworthy difference in their circumstances. Lucy was knighted in 1565 by The Earl of Leicester, and played host to Elizabeth at his home in 1572. A Justice of the Peace and Member of Parliament for Warwickshire at one time, Lucy was clearly a man to whom material wealth meant much. He employed forty servants and was allegedly viciously protective of his lands and the game found thereon. Clearly a Queen's man, he was also active in the intimidation of Catholics, aggressively raiding their homes after the Somerville Plot for signs of sedition. In 1584 he arbitrated in a dispute between one of his servants and Hamnet Sadler, a friend of William Shakespeare's. Lucy would have been widely disliked and even feared as an anti-Catholic enforcer. During Campion's mission he arrested and interrogated the Jesuit's supporters in the Stratford area. He was also responsible for raiding all the Arden family homes after the arrest of Edward Arden, and it was a retainer of his who had taken over the control of Stratford after the successful facing down of the northern rebellion. William, then, might have had good reason to feel enmity towards Lucy, a man who had persecuted some of his kinsmen to the grave and cast a shadow over the lives of every old Catholic family in the area. If the poaching myth is true, then Lucy may well have been the reason William left Stratford. Lucy's death in 1600 came at a time of great family scandal, when his granddaughter eloped with a servant. Shakespeare is thought to have used Lucy as the inspiration for the character of Justice Shallow in "The Merry Wives of Windsor." | Lucy, Sir William (I26749)

| 4072 | Mads Taraldsen's first and second children were born out of wedlock. The first, Tarald, was with Ingri Mikkelsdatter. This baptism was found in the Sauda parish register and specifically identifies the father as :"Uægbarn Mads Taraldsen Bjorndal af Etne hald Piga Ingri Mikelsdatter Odegaard". The child is indicated as "Tarald uægte" The second, Ragnhild, was with Kari Helleksdatter. Mads and Kari probably met through her brother Knut, who moved to Sauda from Tinn in Sep 1824, living there almost a year.

He built his home on the north side of Staunton River, now Campbell County, which he called "the Mansion" for its elegance in those pioneer days. It is standing today, a quaint old homestead, with its corner fireplaces and cabinets either side the mante. There are 3 stories and the third story was the ballroom, covering the entire house, and here the daughters of the house were married." "JOHN WARD, SR. was appointed Major of the Bedford Militia during the Revolutionary War. He carried the title 'Major John Ward' following that war. "Major John Ward lived in Albemarle, Halifax, Bedford, and Campbell Counties in Virginia. He and his brother, JEREMIAH WARD, purchased and sold tracts of land in large volume in many counties in Virginia and North Carolina. In 1753 the two brothers, then living in Albemarle County, patented 3200 acres on the north side of the Dan River in Pittsylvania County, just one of the many tracts." "Will of JOHN WARD, SR.

"The Inventory of the Estate of JOHN WARD, deceased, was presented 14 September 1818; the Account of Estate of MAJOR JOHN WARD, deceased, was made 13 September 1819. "Some published data states that JOHN WARD, SR. was 100 years old at the time of his death. However, the studies of Wayne Jackson indicate he was 96 years, 2 months, 30 days old at his death. The discrepancy may be due to the fact that there were two children named John in this family. The first son JOHN was born and died in 1716. Mistakenly using the birtdate of the first son John and the death date of the second son JOHN would provide the basis for this published data. Halifax Co., VA.

| 4076 | Maj. Lewis Burwell II Hon. Lewis Burwell (1652-~1710) was the son of Maj. Lewis Burwell and Lucy Higginson, born circa 1652. He was married twice, first to Abigail Smith (11 Mar 1656/57 - 12 Nov 1692, cousin of Nathaniel Bacon), daughter of Anthony Smith and Martha Bacon, 1672 at Gloucester Co., Virginia and second to Martha Lear, daughter of Col. John Lear.He resided at King's Creek, York Co., Virginia. He resided at Carter's Creek, Gloucester Co., Virginia. He was a governor of the College of William and Mary in 1702. He was a member of Council between 1702 and 1711 at Virginia. he died circa 1710. He is the namesake of "Burwell's Bay" in Isle of Wight County This bay was originally called Warascoyack Bay until he acquired significant land upon its shores. The Burwells (known as the Burls among Virginians) were among the First Families of Virginia in the Colony of Virginia. John Quincy Adams once described the Burwells as typical Virginia aristocrats of their period: forthright, bland, somewhat imperious and politically simplistic by Adams' standards. In 1713, so many Burwells had intermarried with the Virginia political elite that Governor Spotswood complained that " the greater part of the present Council are related to the Family of Burwells...there will be no less than seven so near related that they will go off the Bench whenever a Cause of the Burwells come to be tried." The Family was closely associated with the Fairfield Plantation, Gloucester County, Virginia, but several Burwells also built other famous Virginia plantations. Lewis Burwell III built the Kingsmill Plantation's manor house beginning in the 1730s. A few years later, Carter Burwell built Carter's Grove immediately to the east in what became the modern day Grove Community. Several place names such as Burwell's Bay in Isle of Wight County, Virginia are named after the Burwells. Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller, (aka Chesty Puller) is a war hero (from West Point, Virginia) takes his name from three generations of Lewis Burwells who had a large influence on early Virginia. The Burwell family of Virginia originally came from England – Bedfordshire. Their early history is not completely known but by 1607, they were living in Harlington, Bedfordshire, at Harlington House – now known as Harlington Manor. | Burwell, Lewis II (I43405)

| 4077 | Major General John Custis (Jr) John Custis II (Jr) was the founder of the Custis family of Virginia (i.e., progenator of Martha Washington's 1st husband Daniel Custus and Robert E Lee, among others). He was raised in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, and moved to Virginia's Eastern Shore in 1649/50. Custis became wealthy through land speculation, tobacco planting, and facilitating trade between Virginia, the Netherlands and its colonies (i.e., New Amsterdam/York). Early in the 1670s Custis built a mansion in Northhampton County and named it Arlington; the house was the namesake of Arlington House, the nineteenth-century home of the Washington and Custis families. During Bacon's Rebellion (1676–1677), John Custis II supported Governor Sir William Berkeley, resulting in his appointment in 1677 to the Virginia Royal Governor's Council. John retired his post in 1692 and died in 1696. John Custis II may have been born in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, about 1629. He was the son of Johanna Wittingham Custis and Henry Custis, a native of Gloucestershire, England who operated a Rotterdam victualling house, or tavern which served as the hub of the city's English expatriate community. Custis's father was a member of an extended family that was engaged in international commerce, and it is possible that as a young man Custis worked in one of the family's commercial houses. About 1649/50 John II moved to the Eastern Shore of Virginia, where his sister Ann (Custis) Yeardley already lived with her husband Argall Yeardley, the son of Virginia's then Royal Governor, Sir Geore Yeardley. John was a prominent planter and became a member of the governor's Council. Several other members of the Custis family also lived on the Eastern Shores of Virginia and Maryland, including another John Custis, who was probably an uncle or cousin, causing troubles of being misidentified as the father of the immigrant founder of the Custis family of Virginia. Rise to Power and Military Career With his family's trading connections and his brother-in-law's help, John Custis II grew wealthy. By 1664, he had accumulated more than 1,000 acres of land, and gained an additional 10,000 acres during the next quarter century. The Custis workforce of servants and slaves soon grew into one of the largest on the Eastern Shore. His commercial activities centered on New Amsterdam, a logical trading destination for a man with his background. He assembled cargoes of tobacco for shipment to the Dutch colony and acted as the Virginia agent for merchants from New Netherland and Rotterdam, as well as New England. Custis's facility in the Dutch language enhanced his value as an intermediary in international commerce. In 1663, when Peter Stuyvesant, Governor of New Netherland, corresponded with the Royal Governor of Virginia on an important admiralty matter, Virginia officials relied on Custis to translate the documents. Sometime before January 15, 1652, John Custis married a widow, Elizabeth (Robinson) Eyer (or Eyre). She died when their only son, John Custis III (1654–1714), was still an infant. This son would also serve on the Virginia Governor's Council. About 1656 John Custis II/Jr married the thrice-widowed Alicia Travellor Burdett Walker (whose maiden name is unknown). In about 1679, he married the twice-(thrice?) widowed Tabitha Scarburgh Smart Browne Hill(?), a daughter of Edmund Scarburgh (d. 1671). Tabitha's father, Edmund Scarborgh was one of the Eastern Shore's leading planters and a former Speaker of the House of Burgesses. Custis and his second and third wives had no children who grew to adulthood. Early in the 1670s John Custis II/Jr built a three-story brick mansion on the south bank of Old Plantation Creek, in southwestern Northampton County. He named the house Arlington, probably after the Custis family's ancestral village in Gloucestershire. With a foundation measuring fifty-four feet by forty-three-and-a-half feet, the imposing double-pile structure was perhaps the finest mansion erected in the seventeenth-century Chesapeake, rivaled only by Governor Sir William Berkeley's home Green Spring near Jamestown. Early in the nineteenth century, the name of the mansion inspired Custis's descendant George Washington Parke Custis, to give the same name to his estate outside Washington, D.C. Custis's lordly surroundings and imperious manner, which involved him in several disputes with his neighbors, earned him the sobriquet "King Custis". As his wealth grew, so did his political power. During the 1650s, before he became a legal denizen of the colony, he held such offices as surveyor and appraiser of estates. Although nominated for sheriff in 1655, Custis did not receive the appointment because of his foreign birth. The assembly removed that obstacle to political advancement in 1658 by passing a law naturalizing him and his brother William Custis. Following, in 1659, John Custis II became the county sheriff, and the following year the governor appointed him to the Northampton County Court. Except for another term as sheriff in 1665 and 1666, he remained a justice of the peace until 1677. Custis became a Captain in the Northampton County militia in 1664. He was commissioned a Colonel in 1673, and ended his career in 1692 as Commander in Chief of all forces on the Eastern Shore. During Bacon's Rebellion in 1676, he was a Major General in Governor Sir William Berkeley's army. When Governor Berkeley fled Jamestown and took refuge on the Eastern Shore, he made Custis's Arlington his temporary headquarters. Custis's loyalty to the government won plaudits from two of the commissioners King Charles subsequently sent to investigate the rebellion. Sir John Berry praised Custis's courage and generous offer to lend the Crown £1,000 sterling to provision the king's ships, and Francis Moryson once addressed him as "Honest Jack." Later Years Custis probably won election to the House of Burgesses in the spring of 1676 when the rebellion broke out, but the sparse surviving records of the assembly session that met in June of that year do not include his name. He was present at the next session, which met at Green Spring in February 1677, after the conclusion of the rebellion. On an unrecorded date before July 5 of that year, the Virginia Lieutenant Governor appointed Custis to the Council. As a councillor he often sat as an additional member of the Accomack and Northampton County Courts. Rumors that Custis was dead or dying resulted in the Privy Council omitting his name from the list of Council members when Francis Howard, i.e., baron Howard of Effingham, was appointed governor in October 1683. Custis petitioned the Crown for reinstatement in 1685 and continued to serve until "Extreame violent Sicknesses," "Extreame fitts," and "the faileing of his Memory and hearing" forced him to retire on April 15, 1692. Custis achieved dynastic as well as financial and political success. He established a family that remained prominent in Virginia for two centuries. When he prepared his will in 1691, he provided handsomely for his grandson John Custis IV (1678–1749), who later became the third man of that name to serve on the governor's Council. Custis died, almost certainly at Arlington in Northampton County, on January 29, 1696, and was buried near his mansion. | Custis, John II (I47679)

| 4078 | Major General, Adam Von Munte He served during the Imperial reign and reached the rank of General-Major. For his fealty and bravery he was dubbed a nobleman. Due to the persecution of Lutherans carried out by Duc d'Albæ (Duke of Alba) and the Spanish Inquisition he migrated with several families such as "De Fine, Knoph, Paludan, Worm" among others. They traveled to Denmark and purchased a noble manor in Skåne. Along with the property stood the church "Krospe?", where he is believed to be buried.

| 4079 | Major Joel Dyer Obituary Jackson Gazette 18 Jun 1825 Died - At his residence in this county on Saturday morning last, (June 11, 1825), Major JOEL DYER, aged seventy-one years, one of the few surviving soldiers of the Revolutionary War. Major Dyer was an early settler in Middle Tennessee, from whence he removed to this District in 1821. He was a man much respected for his benevolence of character and esteemed by all who knew him, as a good Citizen and an honest man. He has left an affectionate wife, and upwards of 100 descendants and a large number of relatives and friends to regret his death. He was confined with the dropsy for several months and although in great pain he bore his afflictions with fortitude and died without a murmur. Thus we see the soldiers of the Revolution falling around us like the leaves of the majestic oak, before an autumnal blast; but altho they are consigned to their mother dust, their deeds of valour and the glorious result of their patriotic devotion to their country, will live in our recollections, and their name be handed down to the latest generation. | Dyer, Joel Henry (I16566)

| 4080 | Major John Bolling Major John Bolling, Son of Colonel John Bolling and Mary Cannie and Father of Bejamin Bolling, was born in 1700 in Petersburg, Virginia, USA. He married Elizabeth Blair on 01 Aug 1728 in Cobbs, Virginia, USA. He died on 06 Sep 1757 in Chesterfield, Virginia, USA. More on Major John Bolling and Elizabeth Blair and Family John and Elizabeth are the 7th Great Grandparents of Roger G. Spurgeon. From "From Pocahontas to the Bollings and Krimms", by James Lawrence Reed Jr. p. 14-5. "Major John Bolling, son of John and Marry Kennon Bolling was born in 1700 and died September 6, 1757. He was married August 11, 1728 to Elizabeth, daughter of Dr. Archibald Blair. She was the niece of James Blair D.D., who was the founder of William and Mary College. According to the Pocahontas book, they had 19 children, but from the January 1985 issue of the Pocahontas Trails newsletter we learn that there were 21 children counting one that died as an infant. According to the newsletter, the list was copied from the book [Of Whom I Came; From Whence I came] by Zelma Wells Price... We find from reading the Pocahontas book that Major John Bolling devoted much of his energy taking long and perilous journeys into the wilderness country for the purpose of claiming valuable unappropriated lands for his family. He was described as a person who took much pleasure from fine horses, hounds, hunting, fishing, fowling, feasting and dancing, yet always had time for his family. He was public spirited and well liked. John was [County Lieutenant] of Chesterfield, an office of much dignity and importance. He commanded the Militia and presided over the courts and for thirty years represented his county in the House of Burgesses." Also, from Reed's book, page 14, it is stated that Major John's son, John, married Mary Jefferson, a sister of Thomas Jefferson. And on page 32, John and Mary's son was Dr. Archibald Bolling who married Ann E. Wigginton. They were the parents of Judge Wm. Holcomb Bolling who married Sallie White and they were the parents of Edith Bolling, who married President Woodrow Wilson. | Bolling, Major John Kennon Jr. (I33238)

| 4081 | Major John Bolling (January 27, 1676 – April 20, 1729) was a colonist, farmer, and politician in the Virginia Colony. John Bolling was the son of Colonel Robert Bolling and Jane (née Rolfe) Bolling. His maternal grandfather was Chief Powhatan's grandson, Thomas Rolfe and maternal great grandmother was Pocahontas. John Bolling was born at Kippax Plantation, in Charles City County, a site which is now within the corporate limits of the City of Hopewell. He made his home at the Bolling family plantation "Cobbs" just west of Point of Rocks on the north shore of the Appomattox River downstream from present-day Petersburg, Virginia. (Cobbs was located in Henrico County until the area south of the James River was subdivided to form Chesterfield County in 1749.) John Bolling married Mary Kennon (1679–1727), daughter of Richard Kennon and Elizabeth Worsham, on December 29, 1697. They had at least seven children, whose names appear in John Bolling's will: John Bolling Jr. (1700–1757) married Elizabeth Lewis in 1720. Later married Elizabeth Bland Blair (the niece of James Blair, the first president of the College of William & Mary) on August 1, 1728 and had at least nine children, including John Bolling III, who married Mary Jefferson (the sister of United States President Thomas Jefferson. Jane Bolling (1703–1766) married Colonel Richard Randolph in 1714 or 1720 and had seven children. Elizabeth Bolling (b. 1709), married William Gay of Scotland and had three children. Mary Bolling (1711–1744), married John Fleming and had eight children. Martha Bolling (1713–1737), married Thomas Eldridge in 1729 and had four children. Anne Bolling (1718–1800), married James Murray and had six children. Sarah Bolling (1727–1816), married Major Robert Davis and had one child. In 1722, he opened a tobacco warehouse in what is now the 'Pocahontas' neighborhood of Petersburg. William Byrd II of Westover Plantation is said to have remarked that Major Bolling enjoyed "all the profits of an immense trade with his countrymen, and of one still greater with the Indian.". Major Bolling served in the Virginia House of Burgesses from 1710 until his death in 1729. John and Mary Bolling's descendants are some of the descendants of Pocahontas, and include Latter-day Saint pioneer Martha Jane Crismon Lewis, First Lady of the United States Edith Bolling Galt Wilson, astronomer Percival Lowell, Virginia Governor then Senator Harry Flood Byrd, New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen, and Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd. | Bolling, John Fairfax (I33219)

| 4082 | Major John Ward, previously of Prince George County (or perhaps Henrico or Goochland), settled in Brunswick County, VA (Pittsylvania County today) about the year 1739. He soon married the beautiful Anne, daughter of Henry and Anne Harrelson Chiles, a descendant of Walter Chiles of Jamestown. John and Jeremiah Ward patented over 3200 acres of land on the north side of the Dan River. John initially settled on Reed Creek, south of modern Altavista, but built a second home, "The Mansion," just east of the mouth of the Otto River, near its entrance into Staunton River and only a few miles east of where Altavista now stands. He and Anne raised at least five children, possibly seven, including: William Ward m. Mildred Adams .....d/o Robert Adams & Penelope Lynch Ann Ward m. Christopher Lynch .....s/o Charles Lynch Sr & Sarah Clark John Chiles Ward never married .....(aka John Ward of Sulpher Springs) Agatha Ward m. John Calloway .....s/o William Calloway & Elizabeth Tilley Henry Ward m. Martha "Patsey" Barber .....d/o unknown Barber/Barbour possibly Jeremiah Ward .....who moved to Kanawha County possibly Thomas Ward m. Mildred Walden .....d/o Richard Walden & Candace Hubbard In 1766 shortly after the death of his wife Anne, Major Ward married secondly Mrs. Sarah Clark Lynch, daughter of Christopher Clark and widow of Charles Lynch, Sr. Sarah was the mother-in-law of John's daughter Anne Ward who married Christopher Lynch in 1765. As early as 1769 he built mills at Sinkler's and Chile's Creeks and raised large yields of hemp on his lands. He surveyed the road leading to Lynchburg, which still bears his name over 250 years later. He also served as Justice of the Peace in Campbell County, and was designated a major of the Bedford county militia, and office he resigned in 1781 on account of his great age. In 1778 Major Ward established a ferry across the Staunton, having previously kept there a boat free to passengers, and in 1810 he obtained permission to erect a toll bridge near his ferry. Just over the river, many years ealier, he built Ward's Tavern, where Locust Hill now stands. John Ward's will, written in 1809, was probated November 11, 1816. Included in his estate was a tract called Indian Camps, which received the name from its use by Indians. His home was passed down to his son Col. Henry Ward Adams and wife Annie Pauline Floyd. John Ward died in 1816 at the age of 106 and was buried in the family graveyard near the Mansion. John's headstone reads 1708 and 1816, but despite being quite old, the stone does not appear to be the original marker. Unmarked graves around him could be his wives, though it is possible that Anne is buried at the Chiles Riverview plantation, and Sarah is buried at the Quaker Meeting House. Some of John Ward's descendants are also buried at Avoca, the home of Col. Charles Lynch in Altavista. Spouses: Anne Chiles Ward (____ - 1765) Sarah Clark Lynch (1716 - 1792) Children: Ann Ward Dillard (1751 - 1816)* Henry Ward (1751 - 1823)* Burial: Adams Ward Family Cemetery Altavista Campbell County Virginia, USA | Ward, John (I27030)

"Burke's Landed Gentry says the Beverleys sold their land in Yorkshire to the Pennymen family about the time Robert Beverley came to Virginia. "The Immigrant sent at least three of his sons back to England to school and as above stated, according to the Parish Register of St. Mary's in Hull, his son Thomas died there and was buried on the 14th of September, 1680. "From the position the Immigrant soon took in the Colony, and the offices he held, it is evident he was well educated for those days and a man of culture and attainments but so far as we know, the above fairly well sums up the evidence of his origin."

No. XVIII. My father, Robert Beverley, married Miss Jane Taylor, of Mount Airy, Richmond county. My grandfather, Robert Beverley, married Miss Maria Carter, of Sabine Hall. My great-grandfather, William Beverley, married Miss Elizabeth Bland,--the sister, I have heard, of the distinguished Colonel Richard Bland, of the Revolution. My great-great-grandfather, Robert Beverley, (the historian,) married Miss --- Byrd, of Westover, I have heard. His father--the first of the name in the Colony of Virginia--settled at Jamestown about the year 1660, and from thence moved to Middlesex county. He was a long time Clerk of the House of Burgesses, a lawyer by profession, and a prominent actor in Bacon's Rebellion, commanding, I think, the King's troops as major. I have never heard the name of the lady he married in Hull, England. I have heard she was the daughter of a merchant of that town. He brought her to Virginia with him. For a more particular account of this individual I must refer you to the third volume of Henning's "Statutes at Large," from page 541 to the end. You will there see an authentic account of some of his services and persecutions. You will also find in vol. viii. of the same work, page 127, an act which gives, I presume, the only true account of the male branch of the family now extant: the act was obtained by my grandfather for the purpose of changing an entail from an estate in Drysdale parish, King and Queen county, (where the historian lived and died,) to one of more value in Culpepper. • Emigrated to Virginia: Jamestown, Middlesex County, Virginia, 1663. • Justice: Middlesex County, Virginia. • Virginia House of Burgesses: Clerk , 1670. • He was granted land 8200 acres on both side one of the great Swamps or maine runns of Mattaponie River14 Jan 1673. • He was granted land 600 acres on the North side Mattapony River, on the back of Mr. Mady, the said land being formerly due unto John Pigg by Patent 3rd day of Jany 1667. 21 Sep 1674 in New Kent County. • He was granted land 6500 acres 16 Nov 1674 in New Kent County. • He was granted land 3000 acres on the South side of Rappahannock River and on the South side of the main swamp of a mill, formerly Andrew Gilsons Mill. 21 Sep 1674 in Old Rappahannock County,Virginia. • He was granted land 6500 acres 16 Nov 1674 in Old Rappahannock County. • He was granted land 600 acres on the South side Rappahannock County or river; and adjoining land of Henry Jermaine, William Gray and Thomas Page. 21 Sep 1674 in Old Rappahannock County,Virginia. • Revolutionary War: In charge of the fortifications of the three main rivers of Virginia, 1681. • Author: Robert Beverley on Bacon's Rebellion, 1704. • Author: Historie and Present State of Virginia, 1705. Beverley, Robert 1673-1722, Virginia colonial historian, author of The History and Present State of Virginia (1705). a substantial planter and colonial official, he wrote his book after finding numerous errors in the manuscript of a book on Virginia written by an Englishman. Vigorous, honest, and not without humor, his history was an immediate success; reprinted a number of times, it served to attract immigrants to Virginia. Robert Beverley was a wealthy planter who saw while in London a poor account of the colony by the British historian and pamphleteer, John Oldmixon, and undertook to write a better. His book, a History of Virginia (1705), was hastily prepared without any study of documents or other respectable sources. Its chief value lies in the shrewd and just observations the author made on Virginia life and history out of his own knowledge. Toward nature: Nature is idealized as benevolent, bountiful, garden of Eden. Virginia planter Robert Beverley expresses utopian ideal (History and Present State of Virginia, 1706) at height of thriving plantation culture. Independent farmer becomes backbone of agrarian democracy in Jefferson's Notes on the State of Virginia (1785), based on pastoral ideal of bountiful nature and abundance of land and natural resources. In what may be one of the most appreciative descriptions of Virginia beyond the Tidewater region, Robert Beverley in his History and Present State of Virginia admonishes those who see only the flatness of the coast, because "a little farther backward, there are Mountains, which indeed deserve the name of Mountains, for their Height and Bigness." Notable for its detailed natural historical descriptions, Beverley's History also offers an unusually sympathetic portrait of the Indians, whom Beverley considered fellow Virginians. • Author: The History of Virginia, in Four Parts, 1722.

| 4091 | Manoah Dyer, b about 1779, d. July 1826, Warren County Kentucky; m about 1802 Elizabeth Withers in Pendleton District South Carolina. Manoah and Elizabeth Dyer moved to Warren County Kentucky a few years after their marriage. Manoah received a warrant for 50 acres of land in that county 15 May 1809 (Kentucky Land Grants, book 19-525, page 303). The arrival in Kentucky could not have been much later than that, since Elisha Dyer Jr had informed the probate officer at the time of Joshua Dyer's death, 11 Dec 1809, that he was Joshua's only brother in the parts. Manoah's last record in Pendleton District South Carolina was 15 Sep 1806, when Manoah along with his brother Elisha Dyer Jr witnessed Elisha Dyer Sr's deed to Joshua (Pendleton District South Carolina deed H-516). Elisha Dyer Sr., had a land sale in 1807, (Pendleton District South Carolina Deeds, I-89 23 Feb 1807. It is likely that Manoah and Abner Dyer took the long trip with their families and their father in the summer of 1807, 1808 or 1809. When the US census of 1810 was taken in Warren County Kentucky, Manoah and Elizabeth Dyer had 2 sons and a daughter, all under age 10. 4 sons and 4 daughters constituted their family 10 years later. Manoah bought 100 acres of land in 1813 (Warren County Kentucky Deeds, F-6-204, 2 Aug 1813) and probably made the purchases. He sold property a few months before his death in 1826, (Warren County Kentucky Deeds, M-12-180), 3 Jun 1826. In March 1816 Manoah's father, Elisha and 2nd wife Jane Wheeler Dyer, whom he married in 1814, came to live with Manoah's family, deeding Manoah all his property (Warren County Kentucky Deeds, G-7, 11 Mar 1816). Elisha Dyer Sr died in 1816 as records of the court show Elisha's wife Jane Dyer appointed administrator (Warren County Kentucky Court Minutes, E-876, 2 Jul 1816). The court minutes (Warren County Kentucky Court Minutes, E-69, 6 May 1816) record a note as follows: "Manoah Dyer ordered to be Captain of Patrol on bounds of Capt Kirby's Company of Patrol for 12 hours each for 12 months from this date, visiting all negro quarters and other suspected places of unlawful assemblies of slaves." Manoah must have died in 1826 before August. Joseph Moore was appointed as administrator of the estate of Manoah Dyer 10 Aug 1826 (Warren County Kentucky Court Minutes, F-118), and a succession of orders began regarding the estate management. The estate was finally settled in 1834. (Warren County Kentucky Court Minutes, F-132, 140, 241, 264, 333, 343, 350) (Warren County Kentucky Inventories, D-112, 113, 142) (Warren County Kentucky Deeds, 16-1/2, 141, 151, 152) Some of the orders had to do with "the hiring of negroes of Manoah Dyer dec'd". Joseph Moore continued as administrator. The heirs disposed of Manoah's farm property "the same subject yet to the dower claim of the widow of Manoah Dyer, June 7, 1834." (Warren County Kentucky DEEDS 16-1/2-141). Children of Manoah and Elizabeth Dyer: THOMAS C - married Maria Smith, moved to Illinois. ABNER - ROSANNA - married 12 Dec 1830 Masey Quisenbury. JOHNSON - resided in Warren County as late as 1835. ETNA - CELIA - married 19 Nov 1835 Robert M Prater. PERRY EMILY The widow Elizabeth remarried to Absalom Matlock, 20 Feb 1827 (Warren County Kentucky Marriages 1796-1851, page 66). It is believed all the children of Manoah and Elizabeth Dyer left Warren County. They may have gone to Missouri. Elizabeth survived her 2nd husband Absalom, who died about 1838. Absalom Matlock had 13 children by his first marriage. The 4th son, Joel E Matlock, married Manoah Dyer's niece Elizabeth Dyer (daughter of Josiah Dyer) 17 Mar 1834. | Dyer, Manoah (I16556)

| 4095 | Marcus Christensen Humble (born 1601 , died 1661 ) was superintendent of Stavanger from 1655 until his death. He was the son of a parish priest in Humble on Langeland , Denmark, Christen Pedersen (died 1624) and Maren Gregersdatter. Marcus Humble graduated in 1624 from Odense school. In 1627 he was ordained as personnel chaplain for Tranekjær and Tullebølle . In 1629 he was appointed parish priest for Karleby and Horreby in Falster . In 1641 he became a master . Then he was ordained a clergyman at the consulate in Osnabrü ck . As this was a temporary job, he did not resign from Falster. In 1650 he was transferred to the large parish called Faarevejle in Ods herred . In 1655 he became bishop of Stavanger, but died as early as April 8, 1661. He must have been a skilled and learned man. We know of one writing of which he was the author. It was "The Perfect Life of True Faith". It was published in 1646, and with a new edition in 1754. He was married twice. First with the priest daughter from Stubbekjøbing Ingeborg Andersdatter Beske. She became the mother of six children and died shortly before leaving for Norway. The second time he married Anna Kristensdatter Trane, who was a widow of former Bishop Thomas Kortsen Wegner. They brought seven children into the marriage.
