Ravn, Adelius Mathea (I39530)

652

02 Jun 1731 - May 22 1802

First Lady, 30 Apr 1789 - 04 Mar 1797

On 31 Dec 1799, shortly after her husband's death, Martha Washing responded to the congressional request that he be buried in "Washington City," the new American capital. "I must consent to the request made by congress," she wrote, "...and in doing this I need not---I cannot say what a sacrifice of individual feeling I make to a sense of public duty." That principle governed her conduct throughout her 40-year marriage to George Washington. She was raised to be a southern belle and a plantation mistress. She delighted in domesticity, describing herself at Mt. Vernon as "fairly settled downn to the pleasant duties of an old fashioned Virginia house-keeper, steady as a clock, busy as a bee, and as cheerful as a cricket." Yet in the public interest she repeatedly left the home she loved to share with her husband the hardships, discomforts, and dangers of his winter headquarters during the seven years that the American Revolution dragged on. After that war both the Washingtons hoped to spend the rest of their lives in the tranquility of Mt. Vernon. But George Washington bowed to the public will that he serve as the nation's first president and Martha Washington moved with him to New York and then to Philadelphia. Willinly and almost without complaint, she endured her separation from the relative and friends she loved best to undertake the repososibilities of a "very dull life" in which she felt "more like a state prisoner than anything else."

Martha Dandridge was born at Chestnut Grove, a modest 500-acre plantation on the pamunkey River in New Kent County, VA, on 02 Jun 1731. Her father, John Dandridge, came to North America from England when he was at years old with his older brother William. Starting out as merchants, they both rapidly acquired land and status. Her mother, Frances Jones, was the granddaughter of an Oxford-educated Anglican rector. Like most well-off girls of her time, Martha was probably tuaght domestic arts and household management by her mother and the three Rs by her parents and grandparents, an itinerant tutor, or an indentured servant. She learned to dance, perhaps to play an instrument a little, and to ride horseback expertly. She attended church regularly. Her social life and her affections centered in her relations with her seven siblings and the gentry of the countryside. She was slim and petite, just under five feet tall, with brown hair and hazel eyes.

When Martha was 17, she attracted the attention of Daniel Parke Custis, like her father a vestryman in her church. The 39-year-old Custis was a man eager to marry but still under the thumb of his wealthy, eccentric, and irascible father. The elder Custis did not allow Daniel to manage and eventually own one of his estates, White House, until he was far into his maturity. No young woman, the father seemed to think, was worthy of his oly son---or, perhaps more important, of iheriting the considerable Custis fortune. Martha's marriage to Daniel was delayed until she was 19, when in a sudden about-face Custis snior declared he was "as much enamored with her character as you (Daniel) are with her person, and this is owing chiefly to a prudent speech of her own."

They were married at her home and settled down at White House to raise a family. Custis indulged his young bride with fine clothes ordered from London. In the next seven years she bore four babies, two boys and two girls. But the infant deaths so commonplace in the 18th century soon claimed the first two. In 1757 her husband died suddenly, leaving her with her two small children: Martha Parke "Patsy" Custis, born 1754; and John Parke "Jacky" custis, born in 1755. He also left her perhaps the wealthiest widow in Virginia.

1. John 'Col.' LINDSEY born 1-Jan-1725, West Chester PA, married Alce CROSSON,
born abt 1700, (daughter of Thomas CROSSON and Wife of Thomas CROSSON) died
after 1787.John died 1-Jan-1787, Newberry Co., SC.'Legacy of Our Lindsey's',
1993, by William Lindsey McDonald, Mitchell Printing Company, Florence AL, shows
John Lindsey having Frederick Co., VA roots.Another researcher has shown John
to have been born in West Chester, PA and came to South Carolina with the Wilson
and Dugan families who had also lived in the Paxtang area, now Harrisburg, in
PA.

1741 he was a Sergeant on board a hospital ship. (Clark, June, Colonial Soldiers
of the South 1732-1774.)

It is thought by some researchers that he traveled with the Calhoun party, which
included Wilson and Dugan familes, from PA to SC with a stay in VA of almost one
year between 1750 and 1756.

1742 Oct. 25 John is listed as a Corporal at Dorchester.

1750 John Lindsey is listed as a landowner in Frederick Co., VA.

1758 Sept. 1, he is mentioned in a letter written to Col. George Washington by
George William Farifax.This was 3 years after Gen. Braddock's defeat.
Washington had recently resinged from the VA militia and was living at Mt.
Vernon.At the time the letter was written, Brig. Gen. John Forbes was heading
west from Philadelphia with the objective of capturing Fort Duquesne at the
forks of the Ohio.Forbes' plans were to cut a new road through the mountains,
near the Lindsey farm in Frederick Co., VA at the instance of Col. Washington.

1767 Jan. 29, Virginia Gazette, no. 819 page 1, a John Lindsey appear on a list
of letter in the post office at Fredericksburg, VA.

1769 he migrated to Newberry Co., SC.Col. Lindsey owned a farm in the Long
Lane settlement of Newberry Co.,Historian John Belton O'Neall in his book
'Annals of Newberry Distict' SC' reported that Col. Lindsey was 'a thorough
Whig'.The Col. would have been in advanced years during the American
Revolution.His military rank was from service in the Colonial Militia before
the war.Four of his sons were officers during the Revolutionary war, and son
in law Jarrad Smith held the rank of Brigadier General.

Although he may not have served during the Revolution, he is cited as giving
patriotic service.Others have written that he was a Colonel during the war.

However, in a pension application, a Clement Davis noted he enlisted in 1775 in
Newberry District SC under Capt. Charles Kings and Col. John Lindsey and was in
the battles with the Cherokees, and The Siege of Augusta.

1783 wrote his last will and testament.

He and Alce had at least 8 children.

1786 John Lindsey is listed as Justice of the Peace in Newberry SC.

1786 Newberry Co. court minutes show a number of entries for John Lindsey. June
court he is an umpire.Also in June an indenture of lease and release from
Charles King and wife to John is ordered to be recorded.Also and indenture of
lease and release from John Lindsey to Edward Finch Esq. is ackknowledged to be
his act and deed, ordered to be recorded.

1787 Col. Lindsey's name appears on a list of 'Estrays' in Newberry Co SC, along
with Samuel Lindsey, and William Lyles among others. This is some sort of list
of horses and cattle.

1. JOHN1 PAYNE was born 1615 in England, and died 1690 in Rappahannock Co., Virginia. He married MARGARET.
Notes for JOHN PAYNE:

Excerpts from the book: THE PAYNES of VIRGINIA
by: Brook Payne Colonel U.S. Army (retired) 1872-1938
SECOND EDITION
C J. Carrier Company
Harrisonburg, Virginia 1977

John Payne was born 1615 in England and he married Margaret?. He died in 1690 in Rappahannock Co., Virginia and was buried at "Red House" (Cedar Hill), now in Westmoreland County, Virginia. His grave iis not marked, but a bronze tablet indicates the approximate location thereof. It has been impossible to determine the maiden name of John Paye's wife margaret, and there is nothing of unquestionable value on which to hazard a guess. She first appears in the records in 1652, when land was granted for her importation: and last in 1674, when she unites with her husband in a deed. In 1655 her husband was granted land for her importation. She was possibly his second wife.

John Payne was a ship owner, as evidenced by the fact that in 1653 the Lancaster County Court paid him for provisioning and transporting Burgesses from lancaster to james Town. At this date Mr. John Payne was charged with five tithables. In 1654 Mr. John Payne was ordered by the Court to appraise the contents of Mr. Raleigh Traver's tobacco warehouse. In the same year the records show that he made a trip to England: upon his return in 1655 he moved to and occupied his plantation on Pepetick Creek, then in Lancaster County near what is now Leedstown. This town was not founded, however, until 1742.

The old family grave yard, where John Payne was undoubtedly buried, is still in use, being, until recently, surrounded by the remains of a rapidly disappearing mound, and overgrown with a dense tangle of brush, weeds, honeysuckle, and periwinkle. A description of its restoration is given in the chapter on Homes. Bishop Payne in his letter to Bishop Meade, appearing in the latter's "Old Churches and Families of Virginia", calls this old home "Red House", and says "it was immediately in rear of Bunker Hill and three miles from Leedstown. The original house has long since disappeared. The present owner of the estate is Mr. Harry W. Coates. It has been known for many years as "Cedar Hill". He bought 940 acres in 1653 in Lancaster County on Pepetick Creek, on N.S.R.R. in that region of Lancaster County then known as Rappahannock, and which in 1656 was organized as Rappahannock County. He did not occupy this land until some years later. Pepetick Creek (called Pedee and Perpertocks on current U.S. Geological Survery maps) is today in Westmoreland and flows int the Rappahannock River about two and a half miles below Leedstown.

Generation No. 2

2. WILLIAM PAYNE2 SR. (JOHN1 PAYNE) was born 1652. He married (1) MRS. FRANCE CLEMENTS 1688. He married (2) ELIZBETH POPE 1691 in Westmoreland Co., Virginia, daughter of HUMPHREY POPE and ELIZABETH. She was born June 1667, and died 1716.

Notes for WILLIAM PAYNE SR.:
Excerpts from the book "The Paynes of Virginia" by Colonel Brook Payne

WILLIAM PAYNE SR. born 1652 married Elizabeth Pope 1691 in Westmoreland County, Virginia, died in February 1698 in Westmoreland County, leaving a will dated 31 January 1697/8 (23 February 1697/8; buried in Yeocomico Churchyard, Westmoreland County; grave is not marked. He was a merchant, planter, Justice, and probably shipowner. His first wife was Mrs. Frances Clements, married in 1688 in Westmorland Co. The earliest recognized Court reference to him is found in Rappahannock County 1673, when "William Payne, son of Mr. John Payne" recorded the earmark of his cattle---"three slits in each ear, and the middle slit cropt" This reference and the composite of the 17 traditional versions abstracted in the Introduction under the title of Genesis of the Virginia Families, particularly the 6th. and 10th. taken in conjunction with the fact that the 1673 reference cannot be made to fit any other William Payne found in the Northern Neck records of this period, and that the McCartys, Lees, Fitzhughs, and Popes continued to be neighbors of or to intermarry with the Paynes of Leedstown and their descendants, are accepted by me after 15 years research in the matter as satisfactory proof of the identity of the said William Payne as the son of John whom I call the immigrant and who is the subject of the first sketch in this history. Particularly convincing is the fact, shown by the document referred to in Version 10 and still preserved in the family, that my great-grandfather Captain William Payne (1, 1755) recognized his relationship to the Paynes of Fairfax Co. near whom he lived. I lay stress on this point of the identity of the said William Payne because it is a critical one, and one that many of my readers will want expounded.

His first wife was Mrs. Frances Powell and they had one child, Anne.

Child of WILLIAM SR. and MRS. CLEMENTS is:
3. i. ANNE3 PAYNE, b. 1689, Westmoreland Co., VA; d. 1712, Westmoreland Co., VA.

Children of WILLIAM SR. and ELIZBETH POPE are:
4. ii. WILLIAM PAYNE3 JR., b. 10 August 1692, Westmoreland Co., Virginia.
iii. EDWARD PAYNE, b. 1693, Westmoreland Co., Virginia; d. 1702.
Notes for EDWARD PAYNE:
His father's will dated 31Jany 1697, 8 referred to him as his second son, and left to him 700 acres in Stafford County adjacent to Captain Peale. Apl 1702 Daniel McCarty and wife Elizabeth (Edward's mother) applied for administration of the estate of "Edward Paine, deceased, son of William and Elizabeth Paine". the court appointed Mr Thomas Garland, Mr. Nathaniel Garland, Mr. George Eskridge, and Mr. james Orchard as Appraisers. Edward's uncle Humphrey Pope was security for the administrators. Upon Edwardd's death his land in Stafford develoved upon his brother and heir-at-law William. It lay about three miles south of what is now Fairfax court house.

5. iv. ELIZABETH PAYNE, b. 1695, Westmoreland County..
v. MARY PAYNE, b. 1697.

Notes for MARY PAYNE:
Mary Payne was born about 1697 in Westmoreland county; no record of death.

Her father's will dated 1697/8 referred to her as under 16; on reaching that age she was to receive 20,000#. the will of her step-father Daniel McCarty dated 1724 referred to her as Mary Burns, and gave her a Bible with the hope that she would make good use of it. The records of Westmoreland Co., fail to throw any light on her history, or to furnish any suggestion as to her husband's first name.

Benjamin Arthur, son of Ambrose and Keziah, was born 27 April 1737 in Campbell County near Lynchburg, Virginia. He died 27 March 1820 in Hillsboro, Highland, Ohio. According to Edwin P. Arthur, “About 1756, on the frontier of a place that became the State of Virginia, a ten year old boy was sent horseback to the mill with a bag of corn to be ground into meal. When he returned, he found his home in flames, his father, mother, all brothers and sisters slowly bleeding to death. They had been scalped by Native Americans in a surprise raid. He was alone in the wilderness with clothes on his back, a horse, and a sack of corn meal. He was taken in by his nearest neighbors, William Arthur and his wife Ann,” his uncle and aunt. Benjamin married first to Ann Arthur, daughter of William Arthur and Ann Calvert, on 23 April 1765 in Bedford County, Virginia. She was born on 23 April 1741 in Bedford County, Virginia, and she died 17 October 1777. Anne was the cousin and first wife of blacksmith, Benjamin Arthur.

Joseph Hargrove was bound to Benjamin Arthur on February 14, 1760 in Caroline Co., VA as found in John Frederick Dorman, Caroline County, VA Order Book 1759-1763.

Thomas Arthur (1710), Benjamin's uncle, was Joseph Hargrove's guardian, and Thomas bound Joseph to work with Benjamin. Joseph was a minor brother of Benjamin's mother Keziah. Benjamin was raised by his uncle and not his grandparents, Augustine Hargrove and Mary Lane Hargrove even though they lived closer, and there were stories that Old Augustine was not "right in the head."

This week's column continues the series of articles on Revolutionary War soldiers buried in Highland County, whose names appear on the bronze plaque located on the south wall of the courthouse placed there by the Waw-wil-a-way Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution in 1930.

Benjamin Arthur was born April 27, 1737, in Virginia. In 1781, during the American Revolution, he served as captain of a company of Bedford County, Va. militia. On March 9, 1782, he was commissioned a lieutenant of the Campbell County, Va., militia. The Campbell County militia had been formed from Bedford County in 1782.

In 1781, Benjamin married Sarah Terrell in Bedford County. Sarah was born 1755, the daughter of David Terrell and his wife Sarah Johnson. According to DAR records, Benjamin and Sarah were the parents of 12 children. Sarah Arthur died circa 1800, when the youngest child Christopher was two years old.
Christopher Arthur was born Dec. 15, 1798, in Lynchburg, Campbell County, Va. When he was 11 years old, he came to Highland County in the winter of 1809. He spent the winter in the home of John Walter and attended school. He made his home with his uncles who lived in Fairfield Township. Afterward he lived with his older brother, Pleasant Arthur, and still later was associated with him in business. In 1812, Pleasant and Christopher moved to Hillsboro. Pleasant Arthur was a skilled master carpenter, and from him Christopher learned the trade of carpenter and cabinetmaker. They were the first in the town of Hillsboro to connect the carpenter trade with cabinet-making. The brothers were the principal builders in Hillsboro, at a time when brick and frame were replacing the first log cabins. In 1818, Benjamin Arthur moved from Virginia and joined his sons in Highland County. Benjamin died March 27, 1820, at the home of his son, Pleasant. He was 83 years old and was buried in the High Top Cemetery in Penn Township…

Campbell County was formed from Bedford County in 1782. The following text was found at Stith Family Genealogy, Colonial Era,
http://www.jscott.tierranet.com/scottfam/stithfam/jpaxsth.htm

No change was then made from the military system long in use in Virginia as embodied in the code prescribed by George III at the close of the French and Indian War, which provided that in each county there should be a chief military officer known as the county-lieutenant, below him in rank a colonel, lieutenant-colonel and major. A regiment consisted of 500 men or ten companies of 50 men each; company officers being captain, lieutenant, ensign, and several sergeants. The lieutenant and those above him were known as "field officers” and those of lower rank as "subalterns."

James Callaway who had been county-lieutenant of Bedford, now became a Campbell resident, received this highest office in the new county by commission from Governor Benjamin Harrison. Charles Lynch was appointed Colonel of Militia, John Callaway lieutenant colonel; and William Henderson, Major. Owen Franklin, Thomas McReynolds, William Jordan (son-in-law of Richard Stith, Sr., since Wm. Jordan married Lucy Stith daughter of Richard Stith, John Irvine, Josias Bullock and Thomas Johnson were made captains; with Archelaus Moon, Benjamin Arthur, John Helm Charles Moile Talbot, lieutenants; and Joseph Stith (eldest son of Richard Stith, Sr.), Plummer Thurston,
Shelldrake Brown, Jr., James Stewart, and Charles Gilliam, ensigns.

The Fourteenth Regiment was under the command of Col. John Knickerbacker, Col. Peter Yates and Col. John Van Rensselaer.

The following information is known about Schaghticoke during the Revolution, and the actions of the 14th Regiment. Maj. Derrick VanVechten, an officer in Col. Knickerbocker's 14th Regiment, was posted at Mechanicsville. He and Samuel Acker visited Old Schaghticoke before the Battle of Saratoga on September 19, to observe their fields of grain. While standing on the hill of Jacob Yates's farm, above the Tomhannock Bridge, the Tories and Indians fired a volley of bullets as they retreated towards the Hudson. Major VanVechten fell mortally wounded, with a bullet in his head, beneath the elm tree on the present road below Reynolds Station. He shouted to Acker to take care of himself saying: "You cannot save me". Acker reached the American camp and a detachment of soldiers was sent to bury Maj. VanVechten's body. A band of hostile Tories and Indians held Fort Schaghticoke and several abandoned houses of the settlers as a British outpost. Col. Johannes Knickerbocker's 14th NY Regiment, composed of officers and men from the Dutch Hoosac and Schaghticoke, was slow in marching to the field of action. It is locally reported that he was fourteen days arriving at General Gate's encampment, which he reached October 7th at dusk just as the scene of the second battle of Old Saratoga was closing and in time only to shout exultingly to the fleeing Britons.

The Tomhannock Road was also guarded by Tories, occupying Abraham Viele's house below Buttermilk Falls. Three officers on horseback advanced to Fort Schaghticoke with messages from General Clinton and Howe to General Burgoyne. They were mistaken for American scouts, and the sharpshooters posted in the Spook Hollow Ravine above Viele's house mortally wounded one of the officers, in front of the Button house, now on the site of Viele's house.(40)

1624 On July 3, 1624, Mrs. Dorcas Foster was married at St. Dunstan's Church, in Stepney, London, England to Bartholomew Hoskins of Jamestown, Virginia and London, England. Dorcas Foster was described as a widow with several small children. Bartholomew Hoskins, an ancient planter, was in Virginia by 1616. He undoubtedly made a number of trips from Virginia and England as he maintained a home in each location. On one of these trips back to England he married Mrs. Dorcas Foster.. The maiden name of Dorcas is yet unknown as is the name of her Foster husband. Bartholomew and Dorcas made their home in Elizabeth City, Lower Norfolk County, Virginia.Source: St. Dunstan's Parish Register, Stepney, London, England;The Virginia Genealogist, Vol. 271635 A Richard Foster sailed from London on August 10, 1635 on the ship Safety and arrived at Jamestown that fall. He was but sixteen years old; born in 1619/20. We find on that same ship were: Bartholomew Hoskins, John Gloster (Foster), age 23, Robert Fister (Foster), age 20, Robert Piscer (possibly Foster), age 44 and Elizabeth Piscer (Foster), age 16. We make the assumption that the surnames, Piscer, and Fister were miss interpreted as in subsequent documents the name Foster appears. Some researchers have assumed that Elizabeth Foster was a twin sister to Richard and that Robert Foster, age 20, was Richard's older brother. There is sufficient information to make that assumption about Robert, but not Elizabeth.SOURCE: Original List of Persons of Quality; Hotten, pp. 122-3Note: It has not been found when Bartholomew Hoskins first came to Virginia nor when his wife, Dorcas, came. We know that Dorcas had "several" children. Could they have been Richard, Elizabeth, and Robert? We can assume that she did not leave them in England. Dorcas was born ca. 1601 in England as she was 34 in 1635. If the twenty-year-old Robert Foster, of the Safety, was her son she must have been married ca 1615/16. She would have been young but not too young to have born a child. 1636 Assuming the above to be correct, Bartholomew, Dorcas and her children made their home in Elizabeth City County. In 1636 Elizabeth City County was divided into Elizabeth City County and New Norfolk. The next year New Norfolk was divided into Lower County New Norfolk and Upper County New Norfolk. Almost immediately Lower County New Norfolk was renamed Lower Norfolk and in 1642 Upper County New Norfolk was renamed Nansemond County. Consequently the Hoskins family, without moving, found themselves living in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia in 1637.1639 Richard Foster (A) refers to Bartholomew Hoskins as his father (we know that he is actually his step-father) however, Richard was only a child when his biological father died) according to a deposition in the county in which he lived (Lower Norfolk.)SOURCE: Lower Norfolk Minute Book 1637-1643, pp.41; Carroway - Foster - Williamson and Bartholomew Hoskins 1601 -1707: Alice Granbetty Walter, pp.4Richard Foster (A) made a deposition in Lower Norfolk CountySOURCE: Lower Norfolk Minute Book 1637-1643, pp. 27Bartholomew Hoskins, gent. and wife of Elizabeth City is on a ship to sail for England to Virginia.SOURCE: American Colonists in EnglandDorcas Foster Hoskins was in England in 1641 for in that year she presented a petition to the House of Lords "on behalf of her said husband now in Virginia - that all proceedings in a suite commenced by John Carter and Joane his wife against the said Bartholomew Hoskins may be stayed."SOURCE: Hoskins of Virginia and Related Families, Warner, pp. 16A Richard Foster married Bartholomew and Dorcas Foster Hoskin's daughter, Dorcas Hoskins around this date. This is not Richard Foster (A) as she is his half-brother, consequently is must have been Richard Foster (B), the attorney.January 1648 Bartholomew Hoskins received a land patent of 1350 acres on the southside of Rappahanock River for the transport of several persons, including "Richard Foster, 2 times";SOURCE: Cavaliers and Pioneers, Patent Book 5, pp 182Copied by Jerry Stevens from “The Immigrant FOSTER in Virginia” by Dr. B.

1638-1694 , Old Rappahanock, Essex County, Virginia
Henry Awbrey was Burgess of the County Court of old Rapphannock County and was a trustee in the formation of New Plymouth in 1682. For the last two years of his life, he was also Sheriff, perhaps an honorary position in view of his age. He also received many grants of land for the transportation of persons to the colonies.

When Henry Awbrey made his will in 1694, he named his wife Mary; so apparently Sarah died sometime before 1694.

On page 39-40, " The number of children of Henry Awbrey is not completely clear. Some researchers have maintained that there were sons named John and Francis; instead, these appear to have been sons of his brother, John Awbrey. It should be noted that in two deeds in 1690 (Rappahannock Co Deed Book 8, p. 254-6), Henry named Richard Awbrey as his "only son and heir apparent." In one of those deeds he gave Richard 500 acres from the 1050 acre grant on the south side of Hoskins Creek, which portion adjoined the lands of John Meador. When Henry Awbrey made his will in 1694 (Essex Co Court Order Book 1692-1695, p. 311), he named as heirs only his wife Mary [not SARAH] and son Richard.

No proof can be found that Sarah remarried. It should be noted, however, that a very prominent, highly influential and prosperous settler of the same area, Henry Awbrey, about this time took a wife named Sarah, who is assumed to have been Sarah Meador, widow. Henry Awbrey is rumored to have a first marriage in England, but no trace has been found in Virginia records. For purposes of this family tree, it is assumed that Sarah did marry Henry Awbrey.

Sarah is first mentioned as his wife in 1664 when Henry appointed her as his attorney to collect debts owed to him in his absence. She again appears in 1670 as party to a sale by Henry Awbrey and herself of a tract of 300 acres of land on the north side of the Rappahannock River.

...Meanwhile, the Rappahannock Indians had fled from their villages behind the settlers on the east bank of the river to sanctuary several miles upstream. In their absence, the lands were taken up by white settlers, and the Indians could not return. Decimated and broken, though having remained peaceful during the whole Bacon affair, their cause was championed by Henry Awbrey, the senior member of the County Court. Enlisting the help of about a dozen settlers, they were relocated, probably on Henry Awbrey's large grant lands, where there is a place which is still called Indian Neck. There is also a Rappahannock Indian church nearby, and there are reports that traces of an Indian settlement have been found on the Meador plantation. Participating in the resettlement in January, 1684, were Henry Awbrey, who served as overseer and go-between as well as furnishing his boat, Robert Tomlin, Jr. who supplied a sloop and a smaller boat, and several men, including John Meador. John was reimbursed by the court for 9 days service and the use of his horse.

John (Meador - Henry's step-son) spent his childhood with his siblings, mother and stepfather, Henry Awbrey, on Awbrey's plantation on the upper reaches of Hoskins Creek.

In 1661, an Indian raid took place on the neighboring plantation of Richard White. Richard's daughter, Elizabeth would later marry Thomas' son, John. Elizabeth was apparently not yet born, but her brother, Thomas White, and two other men were brutally murdered. Thomas' parents, Richard and Addra White, escaped this gruesome raid.

Perhaps as many as 300 people were killed in these Indian raids. Demanding protection, the settlers petitioned the Jamestown Government for arms, forts and soldiers. From Rappahannock County was sent a "Petition of 15 Grievances" signed by, among others, Henry Awbrey and Col. Thomas Gouldman. They begged that: "the war with the heathen...may be prosecuted effectually and managed in such sort that some Counties may not be totally ruined whilst others live in...peace and quietness, whilst poore Rappaahannock lies ableeding whose number of people murdered and estates destroyed can find no parallel in Virginia...for while we are tending corn to feed our wives and children, the Indians...would butcher us in our fields, tey being so frequent about us that we dare not stir from our plantations."

1752 Moved to Lunenburg Cty., VA (same year it became Halifax Co., and in 1765, it became Pittsylvania Co.)
This William Wynne was a Quaker by faith.

William Wynne was 16 at the time of his father's death. Like his grandfather, he became something of an explorer...venturing into less explored land in Western parts of Virginia William Wynne was living in Brunswick County, Virginia, from 1721 (when he testified as a Bunswick witness in a Prince George Court) to 1736. (Brunswick was formed from Prince George, and parts of it were later divided to make Lunenburg, Mecklenburg, Pittsylvania and Halifax). Because tobacco farming rapidly ruined the soil, William constantly purchase new land to the west. To find such land, William joined other explorers (including William Byrd) in 1733. Many of the landmarks these explorers found were named for them....including Wynne's Falls (which later became the City of Danville). Shortly after his return to Brunswick from the 1733 exploration, he moved his family to the Western part of Brunswick (which would later be Pittsylvania and Halifax Counties). And he bought land all through the area. In 1753, he and a Clement Reed bought 36,000 acres in Lunenburg County. We also find several of his children (John, Elizabeth & Thomas?) in Lunenburg County, apparently on land their father purchased. But in his later years, William was living in Pittsylvania on land near Danville. William was appointed by Governor Dinwiddie to help organize the nearby county of Halifax where he owned considerable property. Before his death, William had transfered most of his land to his children.
