| 6660 | Perkins line back to Aden/Eden Perkins in Old Jamestowne Co mpany and his son Nicholas, born in either Charles City Co Va or Nottingham, Co Eng. Nicholas and his wife Mary Burton? Barton made at least two trips across from England being awarded 400 acres each person each time. Line goes back to Pierre de Morlaix, France or Peter of Morlaix, or Perkins Demorley, or just Perkins. Pierre was born in Morlaix around 1350 and moved to England where he married Agnes Taylor of Shopshire on the coast of England. 5 generations l ater Aden/Eden Parkyns was born 22 July 1582 Nottingham Co Eng. He married Mary Sylvester of Corsthorpe, N ottingham, Co Eng. Aden Perkins was born and married in England. He was a grocer in the Olde Jamestown Company, in Charles City Co Va. book about Nicholas Perkins and his family written by Dr William Hall. Dr Hall's book was written from documents of immigration records, deeds, court suits, and wills. Dr Hall did not mention Aden Parkyns as I recall. The Burton Chronicles were compiled by Frances Burton Harrison. the y were about our Nicholas Perkins. These Chronicles relate about Nicholas Perkins dying fairly early and leaving provisions for his son to be educated. The widow Mary Burton Perkins married a Dr Richard Parker. He promised to have the son Nicholas educ ated and awarded so much land. The Burton Chronicles relates how one of the daughters married and didn't inherit. I believe she just refused her share. Dr Richard Parker was charged with spending his step-son's in heritance and consquencely went to prison. This was sad because in early immigration the father Nicholas Perkins Sr reportedly owned quite a bit of property in England besides the acreage he and his wife accrued by immigrating t wice. Mention of wills from Henrico Co, into Goochland Co Va. where the first 5 children of James Perkins and Judith Whitlow were on the Rev Wm Douglas's Registry. Records of a will of John Perkins of Moon Creek, Caswell Co NC. Our branch of the line came to Green Co Ky ca 1810 and have a very strong history since then. | Perkins, Aden (I33504)

He married Margaret Grice, daughter of Thomas and Alice Grice, and widow of Anthony Wall, about 1603, according to a 1607 Palatine Chancery Court action (PRO-PL6/1, No. 37). She was born between 1566 and 1571, probably in Warrington, Lancashire. She died early in 1612. She had five children by her first husband, who died in 1601. Peter Worden was listed as "Gentleman" in several documents, and he was a member of the Town Council of Preston, Lancashire, England, which is located about five miles from Clayton. He was a "Foreign (outsider) Burgess" in Preston, and he leased a shop in the Guild hall, located next to the Preston Market Place, on 01 October 1617. He was last recorded in Preston on 21 January 1629, when, according to the early archives of Preston Borough, he loaned 8 shillings to the Borough for a project concerned with common lands. In 1630 the Plague, which had already ravaged London, struck Preston, and 1069 people out of a population of 3000 died within the year. Peter Worden, his son, and their families probably left Preston because of the plague, as did many of the other survivors, because he next appears in the American Colonies in the mid 1630s. He was probably one of those who came "On Their Perticulers" (not belonging to any general group of emigrants from England sharing a common sectarian religion--such as the Pilgrims.) It is believed that Peter Worden was first in Lynn, Massachusetts before moving to Yarmouth in 1639. In The History of Old Yarmouth, by Charles F. Swift, is the following: "At the extreme easterly part of the Town, Peter Worden [sic] the elder and younger have established themselves, in spite of the opposition of some of their associates, and here the former died the first year of settlement." Peter Worden's will was probated on 5 March 1639. It is the first will printed in the Plymouth Court Records. A copy of the will remains in the Barnstable Probate Court. In his will Peter Worden left most of his real and personal property in both England and America to his son, Peter Worden. Both he and his son are buried in the Worden Cemetery, overlooking Cape Cod Bay. The cemetery is located on the south side of Route 6A in the Town of Dennis near the border of the Town of Brewster. Diectly across Route 6A, in a pasture, is a small foundation said to be from the house of the elder Peter Worden. The barn in the pasture is said to be built on the original foundation of the house of his son, Peter Worden. CHILDREN 1. Elizabeth, died in July 1635 in Kirkham, Lancashire. she had a child, John Lewis Jr, out of wedlock, by John Lewis (a "King's Preacher" who "fledd out of the country"). She married Hugh Swansey. 2.

In Isleworth, Middlesex, on 5 September 1733 she married Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield, a leading Whig politician. The couple had no children, but it is possible that she may have been the mother, through an intimacy with Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore, of Benedict Swingate Calvert. Calvert was born in England in around 1730-32, the illegitimate son of Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore.

In 1736, the General Court granted to the survivors of this fight, and their descendant, a twonship, which, in commemoration of the even was named Falltown. It has since been named Bernardston. The New England Historical Society have a genealogy of the Mattoon Family but it cannot be taken from the library. It is in the form of a narrative and states that Philip Mattoon came from Glasgow, Scotland, and was sent to Boston to defend the towns along the Connecticut River. Philip Mattoon came to Deerfield from the east with Caption Turner and was with him at Falls Fight in 1676. In 1678 he leased for eleven years all the lands Major John Pynchon had at Pocumtuck.

| 6695 | Phillip Lightfoot came to the colony of Virginia before 1670 from England, possibly with his brother John. He served as a Lt. Col of Militia and Justice of Gloucester Co in 1680; Justice of James City Co 1694-99; Collector of Customs for Upper James River and Surveyor General. He registered his will in 1708 and died thereafter (1708-1710). His tomb is without date and bears arms "Lightfoot Impaling Corbin." The coats of arms of both the Lightfoot and Corbin families are displayed side-by-side. Phillip purchased three tracts of land at Sandy Point along the Chickahominy River, most of which he willed to his sons Francis and then Philip. Source: Genealogical and Historical Notes on Culpeper County, VA. Call number 2330. From Genealogical and Historical Notes on Culpeper County, VA, 1958: p. 69 The Lightfoots were among the earliest colonists in Virginia. They seem to have settled originally in Gloucester and James City when the latter embraced what is now Charles City County. Col Philip Lightfoot was a vestryman of Petsworth Parish as early as 1683. By his last will he devised his lands to his eldest son Francis, remainder to his son Philip. Francis devised his lands to his daughter Elizabeth, who married Peter Randolph of Henrico; remainder to his brother Philip Lightfoot. The entail was docked by the House of Burgesses in 1740, and by agreement between the parties these lands were vested in Philip Lightfoot. At Sandy Point there were at one time portraits of the old Lightfoots. There were three William Lightfoots in succession at Sandy Point, and their tombs are still there. The first died in 1727, the second in 1809, and the third in 1810. Tedington was one of the four farms which composed the splendid estate of Sandy Point, between the James and the Chickahominy Rivers. In 1726 we find the name of Major Goodrich Lightfoot as a member of the vestry of St. George's Parish, Spotsylvania, when that parish and county embraced what was afterwards the parish of St. Mark's and the county of Culpeper. He was one of the lay readers at the Germanna Church, and he and Robert Slaughter were appointed to count all the tobacco plants from the mouth of the Rapidan to the north of Mountain Run, and up Mountain Run and across to the mouth of the Robinson River, in obedience to the Act of the Assembly limiting the number of plants to be cultivated by each planter. Major Goodrich Lightfoot was chosen a vestryman for the first vestry at St. Mark's, for his home was within the limits of the new parish. He served as vestryman and churchwarden until his death in 1738, and was succeeded by Capt Goodrich Lightfoot in 1741, who served until he left the parish in 1771. William Lightfoot was also a vestrymann from 1752-1758, when he moved out of the parish. | Lightfoot, Philip (I19044)

| 6699 | Pierre Chastain and the Church The Anglican Church The Church of England was the established church of England. That means it was the only official church, and all others were dissenters. It was also called the Anglican Church. The Anglican Church was supported by the taxes of all the people, regardless of their own church preference. The same was true in America, where the Anglican Church was the established church of some American colonies, including Virginia. Chastains in America were no strangers to the Anglican Church. Though Pierre Chastain, the immigrant, left France to escape persecution from the Catholic Church against Huguenots who frequently established Presbyterian Churches, he came to America as part of a Huguenot community sponsored by England, and so helped found King William Parish, an Anglican Church instead. Pierre Chastain and His Descendants (PCD), volume 1, page 3, states that: Pierre was one of twelve men elected to serve the first vestry of newly created Parish of King William about 1701. [Virginia Magazine of History and Biography (identified hereafter as "VMHB"), Vol. 32] He was elected again 25 August 1718. On 25 November 1718, Pierre Chastain and Abraham Sallee were elected church wardens, both taking oath of office on 18 December 1718. In April 1720, church wardens were replaced by Estienne Chastain and Pierre Louis Soblet, but Pierre continued on the vestry. In July of 1726, he was serving both as church warden and on the vestry. [VMHB, 12:28-30 and 12:376] Pierre's older son, Jean, was also quite involved in the King William Parish Church in Manakin. PCD, volume 1, pages 9-10 show that Jean was serving on the vestry by July 30, 1722 and was elected one of the Church Wardens on April 16, 1723. Jean was elected Clerk of the Church on September 23, 1727 and held that position until 1750. Pierre's younger son, Rene, Sr., was elected Vestryman and Church Warden on September 23, 1737 and attended his last vestry meeting on January 7, 1744, apparently moving along the James River deeper into the Virginia wilderness soon after (PCD, volume 1, page 19). However, many Chastains of the third generation abandoned the Anglican Church of Pierre, Jean, and Rene for the growing, dissenting Baptist movement in the 1770s. After the Revolutionary War, the Anglican Church was no longer the established church anywhere in the new United States of America. The Anglican Church in America was reorganized and renamed The Episcopal Church, but there was quite an issue about how to treat the properties of the Anglican churches paid for by the taxation of all the people. Those of other churches wanted the Anglican resources sold and funds distributed to all as needed, while the Episcopalians wanted everything transferred to their denomination. The Virginia legislature accommodated the Episcopalians. The action of the Virginia legislature prompted a number of petitions from the Buckingham County, where Tillotson Parish Anglican Church had been the established church. The first was the Petition of November 10, 1786 (see text below). The first of many names on this petition is Rane Chastain Min. On page two we find Rane Chastain [another], Stephen Chastain, Martain Chastain, and ranah Chastain. Other petitions followed on October 17, 1787 (including signatures by Rane Chastain Min, Rane Chastain, Martin Chastain, and Stephen Chastain), and on November 15, 1794 (including Rane Chastain, Stephen Chastain, and Joseph Chastain). The argument of the 1787 petition was that the glebe lands should be sold and the funds either applied to the State debt or distributed among the citizens of Buckingham county. A glebe was land belonging to a parish, meant to produce revenues to help support the parish. A glebe-house was a rectory built for the parish priest, vicar, pastor, or rector. Glebe land was often farmed or rented out by the by the church rector to cover living expenses. The petition points out that there was no Episcopalian minister in the parish at all, and requests that the Episcopalian churches there either be sold or opened to all for worship, and that any properly licensed minister be allowed to preach in them. The 1794 petition revisits the question of the glebe lands which were in disrepair. The petition ends: And whereas the Minister in the Said Glebe has long Since dec'd & the parish hath been ever since without a Minister, & whereas the Buildings on the said Glebe are much out of repare, Your Petitioners Conceive that it will be productive of good consequences to Dispose of the Glebe Lands aforesaid before the Buildings thereon are Intirely Decayed, Therefore your petitioners Humbly pray that an Act may pass to sell the Said Glebe Lands & apply the Money arising from the Sale thereof to the payment of our Parish Levies or any other Use that your Honorable Body may think propert. The Buckingham Baptist congregation eventually acquired the building which had housed the Tillotson Parish Anglican Church (Church of England). There is an historical marker to this effect which reads: F 56 Old Buckingham Church. The original or southwest wing of this structure was erected about 1758 as a church for the newly-formed Tillotson Parish. It was abandoned following the disestablishment of the Anglican Church in Virginia in 1784, and thereafter was acquired by the Buckingham Baptist Congregation, organized in 1771. It continues in use as the meeting house of the Buckingham Baptist Church. The Buckingham Baptist Church still exists and it is said the original section of the Anglican church building is preserved. | Chastain, Pierre (I18732)

| 6700 | Pierre Chastain was born in 1659 near the village of Charost in central France. His parents were Estienne and Jeanne (Laurent) Chastain. The Chastain family had fled to this area from the city of Bourges at the time of the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572. After King Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes in 1685, Pierre, his wife Susanne (Renaud), and their five children fled France completely and were in Switzerland by 1696. From there they went to Holland, and after that to England where Pierre helped gather a group of Huguenots to colonize Virginia. On July 12, 1700, after a voyage of almost three months, the London ship Mary and Ann sailed into the mouth of the James River near the Jamestown settlement in the Virginia Colony. On board were Pierre, his family, and probable relative, Estienne Chastain. They did not remain at Jamestown, but continued up the river to the 10,000 acre site chosen for a new settlement. In doing so, they passed completely through what one day would be Richmond, down the James River east of the Huguenot site. The new Huguenot settlement was called Manakintown. Other Huguenots arrived in September. As a group, the Huguenots were among the most educated, cultured, and skilled people of Europe. When Louis XIV drove many of them out of France with his intolerance and persecution, the loss of so many highly productive citizens severely hurt the country. Those Huguenots who settled in the British Americas were solid contributors to the developing colonies. Pierre was a medical doctor, and also served as one of the original 12 vestrymen of the Manakintown Anglican Church which was founded in 1700 and still exists today. | Chastain, Pierre (I18732)
