8251 William's estate was appraised by Arthur Arrington, Joseph Vasser and Richard Pond and recorded on 11 Dec. 1755. Signed by Mary Sandefur. Sandifer, William John (I23273)
 
8252 William's family was said to be of Huguenot descent (French Protestants who were driven out of France in 1680 due to the Edict of Nantes). Devin is probably French--meaning sage, seer, foreteller of events. Surnames were adopted after 1000 AD in Europe and so our Devin ancestor was probably "le devin" (the seer) and the "le" was probably omitted with time. There were many Devins who did not leave France in 1680 and stayed Catholic. Some of these Catholic Devins came to Canada and there are many Devins in Canada today.

The Progenitor of the Devin Family in America was William Devin, Sr. William Devin Sr. came to America in 1745 or 1746 and in 1750 married Sarah Smith, and settled in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia. They were members of the Presbyterian Church and accumulated some wealth. They had eleven children some dying in childhood. William Sr. named some of his children in his will recorded April 19,1802.

WILL-DEED AND WILL BOOK 11, PAGE 243, PITTSYLVANIA CO., VIRGINIA RECORDED APRIL 19, 1802
"In the name of God Amen, I, William Devin Sr.--of the County of Pittsylvania, in good health and of sound mind and memory for which I thank God; and calling to mind the mortality of man, knowing it is appointed of God for all men once to die, do make constitute and ordain this, my last Will and Testament--I first of all give and recommend my soul into the hands of Almighty God that gave it me and my body to be decently intered at the discretion of my Executor and to such worldy Estate as it has pleased God to bless me with in this life, I give and dispose of in manner and form following, that is first of all my just Debts--to be honestly paid. Secondly, I give to my children, James Devin, Mary Biggar, William Devin Jr., Robert Devin, and Joseph Devin--twenty shillings to each of them, their heirs or assigns forever. Third, I give to my daughter Sarah Devin, the house in which I now live after being well covered out of money arising out of my estate and the land adjoining thereto and bounded as follows, by William Devin Jr. lines on the south, by Joseph Devin and Spragin on the east, by Robert Devin on the north, and by Wimbish and Spurling on the west to inclose part of my new survey agreeable to Robert Devin's marked line
for dividing the said survey. I also give said Sarah, one negro boy, Alleck, one mare Finnex, or her value in cash, or another creature of near equal value, one cow and calf, exclusive of a white cow I admit to be her own property, one bed and furniture of her choice and half of all the other of my household furniture; one ewe and lamb, if any belonging to my estate, and lastly two sows and pigs, the choice of my stock and provisions of every kind that I may die possessed of for her and those free persons that I may leave in my family at my death for one year after. My further will is that if my daughter Sarah Devin should die without lawful heir of her body that in that case she has a right only to dispose of half the property to her given as she may think proper, and the other half my will is that it may be equally divided between all my surviving children or their lawfully begotten heirs of any they have or assigns forever. Item--I give to the children of my daughter Margaret Reynolds--twenty pounds cash to be under the direction of their father, Joseph Reynolds for the use of the said children that may live to enjoy it. And my further will is that all the land and negroes I may be possessed of at my death with all and every kind of property to me belonging not before in this last will given shall be sold my Executor at one years credit and the money arising therefrom after all legal and lawful expenses are paid for the execution of the will, the surplus if any, to be divided equally between my children as follows to wit--William Devin Jr., Mary Biggar, Robert Devin, the children of Margaret Reynolds (deceased) Sarah Devin and Joseph Devin, their heirs or assigns forever....."

From the Pittsylvania Co., Virginia Courthouse records, the following items: "William Devin Sr. to William Devin Jr. a deed February 17,1794"

"William Devin Sr. listed as head of family 1785"

MILITARY RECORDS
William Devin Sr. war services: War records no. 4 p. 166: "received a certificate for balance of full pay, according to act passed November session 1781, as Sergeant of Infantry...Virginia Continental Line."

The Devin property in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia is shown by deeds and records to be near the Sandy River, S.W. corner of Pittsylvania Co., N.W. of Danville and east of Martinville, Virginia. Pittsylvania Co. was formed in 1767 from Halifax Co., absorbed Patrick Co. and Herry Co. in 1777. In 1753 Halifax Co. was part of Lunenburg Co.

In records, various spellings of the Devin name is given...Davin, Deaven, Divean, Diven, and Divin. William Devin and his son, William Devin, Jr., took turns serving in the Military and sometimes only for three-month periods between farm work on their acreage, the military archives does not have any distinction between them, as all the records are just under
"William Devin". His first four sons were in the Revolutionary War.

8253 Wills of William and Thomas Branch and Bull Inn.

Thomas Branch bought the Bull Inn from Robert Forman at some date between 1554 and 1565 based upon the Amyce survey of 1554. However, the title deeds are not now extant.

Under the terms of an agreement made on the same day as his will, Thomas' father granted all his property and posessions (except for those bequeathed by his will to others) to Thomas. By virtue of this deed and the terms of the will of his namesake uncle, Thomas, he obtained posession of the Bull Inn, which, in his will dated January 22, 1602/3 and proved April 22, 1603, he bequeathed to his brother-in-law, Robert Payne, husband of his sister, Martha. His will also discloses that Thomas held certain copyhold land in the neighboring parish of Drayton, upon which an encumbrance of 80 pounds, due to the Lord of the Manor, Sir Francis Stonor, was laid, which encumberance he doubted his wife would properly discharge.

After his death, his will was the subject of litigation in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, when his brother, William, brought an action against Robert Payne, Thomas' brother-in-law and executor, to test the validity of the will. On February 13, 1603/4, the Court declared a definistive sentence, upholding its validity in favor of the executor. This decision confirmed Payne in his ownership of the Bull Inn.

This account was written by Peter Walne, author of "Branch of Abingdon," appearing in the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol 67, 1959. page 92

On page 95, Walne picks up the story of the Bull Inn with regards to Christopher William Branch (1602-1681), William's grandson. "In his written pleadings in the case in Chancery over the ownership of the Bull Inn in 1632, Christopher says his father (Lionel) had died 27 years previously (i.e., in 1605), at which time he himself was but 2 or 3 years old, placing his birth in 1602 or 1603. In 1632, (Christopher) returned briefly to England (from his new home in the Virginia colony) for the purpose, amongst other things no doubt, of trying to gain posession of the Bull Inn, which he claimed ought, by rights, to be his, but of which he had been cheated by his uncle Robert Payne." See Public Record Office, Chancery Proceedings, Charles I, Bundle B 21, no. 34. The validity of Christopher's claim rested solely on the interpretation of the wording of the relevant section of the will.

Christopher's case was that, by the terms of his great-uncle Thomas' will of 1565, the Bull Inn after descending to his grandfather, William, and to his uncle, William's eldest son, Thomas, should have descended to Christopher's father, Lionel, as heir at law of the younger Thomas, and so to Christopher on Lionel's death. The devise of the Bull Inn by the younger Thomas to his brother-in-law, Robert Payne, was, according to Christopher, unlawful. Whilst no decree of the court has been found, Christopher's plea was successfully resisted by Richard Payne, Robert's son, to whom the property was conveyed in 1624 as part of the settlement on his marriage. Shortly after the hearing of this case, Richard Payne must have conveyed the Bull Inn to Christ's Hospital, for numerous leases by the Hospital dating from 1644 to 1856 exist amongst the Hospital muniments.

Note that the Hospital sold the Bull Inn (then called the Black Bull) in 1905 hence the absence of any title deeds other than these leases, in the Hospital's own archives. 		Branch, Lionel (I46765)

8259 Winston Dalton, in separate entries in his journal, refers to Micajah as both Micajah Wheeler and Micajah Wheeler Bennett. I have always assumed that Winston was old when he wrote this and that this was just an error in his journal. However, Mary Foote Lund has shown me that his name also appears both ways in official records. After studying this information, it appears that his true surname was Wheeler. Since Charity Wheeler is inovled in several important records, there is a good possibility that she is Micajah's mother. Micajah named his first daughter Charity. William Bennett, son of Peter, also seems to be a very important person. This is speculative, but I see two possibilities worth researching. It is possible that Charity Wheeler was widowed and then later married William Bennett. If Micajah was very young, he could have taken his stepfather's name and still used Wheeler in official records. Alternatively, Micajah could be the illegitimate child of Charity Wheeler and an unkown Bennett, perhaps William. Below is some information sent to me by Mary Foote Lund:

"I have found evidence that Micajah Wheeler Bennett did in fact use Micajah Wheeler in addition to Micajah Wheeler Bennett/Micajah Bennett. This wasn't just a slip on Winston Dalton's part. On a recent visit to the Library of Virginia I located Micajah and Patsey Pullen's marriage bond records which include her father's consent and the bond. They both have some peculiarities, but most noteworthy is that the bond is issued to Micajah Wheeler Bennett, while the consent was for the marriage of Micajah Wheeler and Patsey Pullen written in Thomas Pullen's hand.

If he used Micajah Wheeler, 2 indentures in the Pittsylvania Deed records are pertinent, and they do fit with his timeline. On 3 Feb 1801 Micajah Wheeler purchased 220 acres on the Great Branch of Old Womans Creek from Ambrose Colyer, the indenture being witnessed by Martin Dalton, James Dalton and Stephen Toler. This is less than 2 years after Micajah and Patsey's marriage. On 13 April 1804 Micajah Wheeler sold the same land to William Burnett, both "of Pittsylvania County." The Indenture is not witnessed but is signed by both Micajah and Patsey Wheeler. Micajah and Patsy/Martha Wheeler Bennett were living in Franklin County in 1810 when he died, and when Patsy appears in the census, and references to other legal proceedings imply he had lived there for some time. He did not buy land in Franklin County under either name, however.

My brother, an attorney, says that land records always were very important, the most important part of the law, and the standards were very strict. Micajah may have gone by Micajah Wheeler Bennett, but these land records strongly suggest his 'legal' name was Micajah Wheeler (assuming these are the same person). This might be the case if he was raised by a Bennett step-father who never officially adopted him.

The few documents I have include only one Bennett. The marriage consent was witnessed by Stephen Toler (who also witnessed the deed) and William Bennett. And, it seems they were more than casual witnesses. The consent reads "Sir It seems to be agreed to amongst us that there be a Marriage between Micajah Wheeler & Patsey Pullen. Please grant a license for officiating the same. given under my hand this 20th day August 1799 Thomas Pullen" Not very enthusiastic. (Between 'Wheeler' and 'Patsey' is a coarse addition that may be a 'B,' as if a clerk may have been bothered that the consent and bond were in different names.)

William Bennett also appears in Micajah Wheeler Bennett's estate papers. The final accounting of his estate provided by his administrator includes 2 payments totally over  		Bennett, Micajah Wheeler (I21570)
 
8260 Winston Dalton, the brother of Asenath Dalton, kept a journal in which he recorded various events. His journal contains the following entry:

"William Bennett, son of James, hung for stabbing Joel Achols [sic] on 9 Aug. 1837, hung 19 Jan. 1838." 		Bennett, William (I16657)
 
8261 Winston Echols & Nancy Burks

Winston Echols was born in 1820 in Georgia to Samuel Echols and Elizabeth Wood. He migrated to Jefferson County, Albama before 1830, where he was married on July 24, 1839 to Nancy Burks, born in Georgia in 1826. The Echols were apparently a well-to-do Southern family with plantations and slaves, but it appears that Winston did not benefit from his family’s prior wealth, as he is listed as an illiterate laborer in Jonesboro, Alabama in 1850. Winston and Nancy had at least five children: William, Harvey, Critton, Caroline, and Samuel. Census records show that Winston was a farmer and resided in Jefferson County through at least 1880, the last known record for Winston and his wife. 		Echols, Winston Whitworth (I51341)

8275 Written by Janet Perdue King

Jesse Perdue was born ca 1790 in Franklin Co., Virginia to Meshack Perdue and Eleanor Dillon. He grew up on his parents farm located on the Blackwater River in same. He married at about 20 years to Catherine "Kate" Plyborn daughter of John and Rebecca Plyborn. They were taxed in 1812 owning 87 acres of land on the Blackwater River.

Jesse served under Captain William Pepper in the War of 1812 along with brothers Daniel, Asa, Isaiah and Eli. This was a rifle company and along with three others formed the 4th Volunteer Regiment. They left for Christiansburg on the 13th of Sept 1813 and marched by way of Petersburg to Norfolk where they remained stationed during their entire service which expired March 1814. After being discharged, the company was conveyed on board a sail boat to Richmond and from there marched home on foot.

After the War, Jesse's brothers made plans to move west, the first to go was Daniel Perdue in 1815 and then Asa, Luke and Matthew a couple of years later. A family tradition exist that Jesse along with brother Zachariah also moved to Sumner County but were unhappy so turned around and walked back to Virginia. Jesse received the following in his father's Will....."I give to my son Jesse Perdue, a Negro woman by the name of Dilly and her three children by the names of Jane, Julia and James, and another girl by the name of Milly all of which he has received in his possession to him and his heirs forever".

In 1820, Patsey, Nancy and Aberilla Blankenship daughters of Liggon Blankenship were in Franklin County Court and ordered to keep the peace towards Jesse Perdue and his children. Jesse wrote his Will the 10th of June 1865 in Franklin Co., VA and it was presented for probate the 3rd of August 1871. His tombstone gives his death as 13th June 1871. He is buried along with wife Kate on the family farm in Franklin Co., VA

8277 Yates Tavern is located 1/4 mile South of Gretna, Va. === Yates Tavern is the only block-house standing in Pittsylvania County, Va. and possibly the state. It is located on U.S. 29 business about a fourth of a mile south of Gretna. It was built around 1750 and sheltered travelers in what was then a western wilderness. It is said to be the only dwelling in Virginia constructed with Elizabethan or Tudor over-hangs or front and back jetties. It is deemed a blockhouse because of the 10-inch overhang of the second story. Indian campgrounds were mentioned in deeds on Potter's and Reddies' creeks a few miles away. Saponi Town, near Altavista, was only about 12 miles away. The Yates family came to Pittsylvania County earlier than 1767 when both John Yates and John Yates Jr. were listed among the first tithables. It is not clear which of the Yates family members built the tavern. According to 18th Century Landmarks of Pittsylvania County by Madalene Vaden Fitzgerald and Frances Hallam Hurt, Stephen Yates paid a tax of $8.50 in 1813 to keep an ordinary at his house. In 1818, Yates paid the sum of $1.67 tax and a license was granted him "to keep a house of private entertainment where he now resides." The house is made from weather-boarding and has a rock chimney. There is a large public room with a rock fire-place beneath an impressive mantel. A smaller adjoining main floor room has an under the staircase closet. The corner stairway leads to a two-roomed loft upstairs. The English basement, half in and half out of the ground, has walls two-feet thick. It was in the enormous basement fireplace that meals were prepared. There is trap door access from the main floor into the basement. One of the first acts of the Gentlemen Justices in 1767 was to set prices for liquors and lodging. Overnight lodging with breakfast or dinner was six shillings, with the same for a horse. Brandy was eight shillings a gallon; whiskey, six; West India rum, 10; with Virginia beer and cider going for two shillings, six pence. Near the tavern was Pigg River Road which ran from Peytonsburg to Smith Mountain and from which Yates Tavern drew its customers. Several members of the Yates family are buried in a nearby cemetery. The tavern was restored through grants from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Virginia Landmarks, Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors and the late DeWitt Wallace of Reader's Digest. Yates, Stephen (I676)
 
8278 Yeatts, John R. -- A native of Pittsylvania County, enlisted in the Civil War on June 22, 1861 at Richmond in Company C, 46th Virginia Infantry, Wise Legion. On May 19, 1862, he was promoted to Captain of his company (which was known as the 'Pigg River Invincibles'). He was reported as present and on duty throughout the war until June 17, 1864, when, in the fighting around Petersburg, Capt. Yeatts received a gunshot wound in the arm and side. He returned to duty in the autumn of 1864 and served to the end of the war. On April 12, 1865, he was paroled at Appomattox. Yeatts, John Richard Sr. (I21560)
 
8279 Yngvar Harra (or Ingvar) Proto-Norse *Ingu-Hariz (d. early 7th century) was the son of Östen and reclaimed the Swedish throne for the House of Yngling after the Swedes had rebelled against Sölvi.[1]

Snorri Sturluson relates in his Ynglinga saga that King Ingvar, Östen's son, was a great warrior who often spent time patrolling the shores of his kingdom fighting Danes and Estonian vikings (Víkingr frá Esthland). King Ingvar finally came to a peace agreement with the Danes and could take care of the Estonian vikings.

He consequently started pillaging in Estonia in retribution, and one summer he arrived at a place called Stein (see also Sveigder). The Estonians (sýslu kind) assembled a great army in the interior and attacked King Ingvar in a great battle. The Estonian forces were too powerful and Ingvar fell and the Swedish forces retreated. Ingvar was buried in a mound at a place called Stone or Hill fort (at Steini) on the shores of Estonia (Aðalsýsla). 		Eysteinnssen, King of Sweden Ingvar (I36931)
 
8280 Yngvi and Alf were two legendary Swedish kings of the House of Yngling. Some versions indicate they were brothers or other close relations. They killed each other.

According to Ynglingatal, Historia Norwegiae and Ynglinga saga, Yngvi and Alf were the sons of Alrik.

Snorri Sturluson relates that Yngvi was an accomplished king: a great warrior who always won his battles, the master of all exercises, generous, happy and sociable. He was both loved and famous.

Alf was unsociable and harsh and stayed at home instead of pillaging in other countries. His mother was Dageid, the daughter of king Dag the Great from whom is descended the Dagling family. Alf was married to Bera who was happy and alert and a very lovable woman.

One day in the autumn, Yngvi returned to Uppsala from a very successful Viking expedition which had rendered him famous. He used to spend time at the drinking table until late in the night, like Bera, and they found it pleasant to talk to each other. Alf, however, preferred to go to bed early and he started to tell her to go to bed early as well so that she did not wake him. Then Bera used to answer that Yngvi was much better for a woman than Alf, an answer that was getting on Alf's nerves.

One evening, the jealous Alf entered the hall and saw Yngvi and Bera converse on the high seat. Yngvi had a short sword in his lap and the other guests were too drunk to see that Alf had arrived. From under his cloak Alf drew a sword and pierced Yngvi. Yngvi, mortally wounded, got up, drew his own short sword and slew Alf. They were buried in two mounds on the Fyrisvellir (Fyris Wolds).

Alf was succeeded by his son Hugleik.

The poem in Ynglingatal:

Ok varð hinn,
er Alfr of vá
vörðr véstalls,
of veginn liggja,
er dölingr
dreyrgan mæki
öfundgjarn
á Yngva rauð.
Var-a þat bært
at Bera skyldi
valsœfendr
vígs of hvetja,
þá er brœðr tveir
at bönum urðusk,
óþurfendr,
of afbrýði.[1][2]
I tell you of a horrid thing,
A deed of dreadful note I sing --
How by false Bera, wicked queen,
The murderous brother-hands were seen
Each raised against a brother's life;
How wretched Alf with bloody knife
Gored Yngve's heart, and Yngve's blade
Alf on the bloody threshold laid.
Can men resist Fate's iron laws?
They slew each other without cause.[3][4]
The Historia Norwegiæ presents a Latin summary of Ynglingatal, older than Snorri's quotation:

Cujus [Hogne, i.e. Agne ] filius Ingialdr in Swethia a fratre suo ob infamiam uxoris ejus occisus est, quæ Bera dicta est (hoc nomen latine sonat ursa). Post hunc filius ejus Jorundr [...][5]

His [Agne's] son, Ingjald, was murdered in Sweden by his own brother because he had brought discredit on the latter's wife, whose name was Bera (Ursa in Latin). After him his son Jorund ruled, [...][6]

Ingjaldr is held to be an error for Yngvi.[7] Unlike Ynglingatal, Historia Norwegiæ gives Agne as Yngvi's predecessor. Instead Alrekr precedes Agne and Agne is succeeded by Yngvi. The even earlier source Íslendingabók cites the line of descent in Ynglingatal and it gives the same line of succession as Historia Norwegiæ: xi Dagr. xii Alrekr. xiii Agni. xiiii Yngvi. xv Jörundr.[8]

Ari Frodi's Younger Íslendingabók
According to Ari Frodi's line of Swedish kings Yngvi was the son of Agne, and not of Agne's son Alrik.

8283 ZABEL, LINA From Der Nord Westen, 16 May 1907:
A death in Milwaukee on Thursday last week following a long illness of Mrs. Lina Zabel (nee Richter), eldest daughter of Mrs. Wm. Bach here from Mrs. Bach’s first marriage with Mr. Gustav Richter. Mrs. Zabel was born 02 October 1850 here in Manitowoc and grew up here. She is well-known by most of the residents of our city. Because she showed great musical promise she went to Germany as a young lady and studied at the Music Conservatory of Koeln (Cologne). From there she returned to Milwaukee and spent a year as a music and vocal teacher. In 1882 she married there with Mr. Paul Zabel. Last Fall she fell ill and underwent an operation which did not bring about the healing which had been hoped for, and she underwent several more operations with no better results. Ultimately death released her from further suffering. Mrs. Zabel is survived by her husband, 2 daughters, and a stepson, as well as a sister, Mrs. Reiter in Milwaukee, and her elderly mother, Mrs. Wm. Bach who has been living in Milwaukee since last Fall. The funeral was held Saturday in Milwaukee. 		Richter, Caroline Franciska Ottilie (I31074)

8292 [From the online site http://www.rickmansworthherts.freeserve.co.uk/webpage22.htm ] (The Lucey and Lucy Family History Website.)



DANIEL LUCY, the first recorded Lucy in America, emigrated to Jamestown, Virginia on the ship 'Susan' in June 1624. Research has suggested that Daniel Lucy was the son of Timothy Lucy and Susanna Fanshawe, the youngest son of Sir William Lucy (c1510-1551) and Ann Fermer of Charlecote.

Daniel Lucy was given a patent of four acres of land on Jamestown Island and served on two juries. Present day descendents are related to his eldest son Samuel Lucy (1618-1662). Daniel died in Virginia in 1627, owing five hundred pounds of tobacco to his kinsman, RICHARD KINGSMILL. Richard's parents are believed to be Sir William Kingsmill (1555-1618) and Anne Wilkes. Sir William Kingsmill was the cousin of CONSTANCE KINGSMILL, the wife of Sir Thomas Lucy (1551-1605) of Charlecote. The full genealogy is scheduled below.

When King James I assumed responsibility for the colony of Virginia after he dissolved the Virginia Company of London in 1624, he ordered Virginia's leaders to make a record of the colony's inhabitants and their provisions. RICHARD KINGSMILL (spelt Kingsmell) with his wife Jane, son Nathaniell (aged 5) and daughter Susan (aged 1) were resident at the 'Neck-of-Land' near 'James Citty' in the Virgina Muster (survey) of 4th February 1624/25. His servants are recorded as Horten Wright, John Jackson, Isbell Pratt and Edward (a negro). Richard arrived on the ship 'Delaware' while his wife and servant on the ship 'Susan'. This is the first census ever held in America. There is no record of Daniel Lucy in the survey as her arrived in Jamestown later the same year. Richard Kingsmill owned five houses and one boat at this location.

In 1619 the second church minister at Jamestown, the Rev. Richard Buck (1582-1624) had patented 750 acres of land in the 'Neck-of-Land' for the first time; the land separated by water from the north side of Jamestown Island. Buck apparently relied on indentured servants to improve the land, including his caretaker, Richard Kingsmill. On Buck's death in 1624, the land passed to his caretaker and Richard became the guardian of his children. In 1624 there were many transient tenants working the land on 100-200 acre plots, primarily for Kingsmill, who also owned a house in Jamestown and served on the General Assemblies of 1624, 1625 and 1629. Both Richard and his wife had died by 1638 leaving an only heir, their daughter Elizabeth who was born at 'Neck-of-Land' in 1625. This area eventually became known as the Kingsmill tobacco plantation.

The surname of LUCY was a locational name 'of Luci', a parish in the arrondissement of Neufchatel in Normandy, France. The name was borne by a young Sicilian maiden and an aged Roman widow, both martyred under Diocletian and venerated as saints. Local names derive from a place name, indicating where the man held land, or the place from which he had come, or where he actually lived. Many of the French place-names denote the seat of noble families, but many of the modern surnames merely indicate migration from a French place. The name was taken to Ireland by settlers from Oxfordshire, where it was spelt O'Luasaigh, mainly a County Cork name. The earliest French hereditary surnames are found in the 12th century, at more or less the same time as they arose in England, but they are by no means common before the 13th century, and it was not until the 15th century that they stabilized to any great extent; before then a surname might be handed down for two or three generations, but then abandoned in favour of another. In the south, many French surnames have come in from Italy over the centuries, and in Northern France, Germanic influence can often be detected. When the sparse Irish population began to increase it became necessary to broaden the base of personal identification by moving from single names to a more definite nomenclature. The prefix MAC was given to the father's christian name, or O to that of a grandfather or even earlier ancestor. At first the coat of arms was a practical matter which served a function on the battlefield and in tournaments. With his helmet covering his face and armour encasing the knight from head to foot, the only means of identification for his followers, was the insignia painted on his shield and embroidered on his surcoat, the draped and flowing garment worn over the armour. Early records of the name mention Godfrey de Lucey of the County of Lincolnshire in 1273. Reginald de Lucy was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax of 1379.A powerful Anglo-Norman family called Lucy, took their name from Luce in Orne, Normandy. Richard de Lucy (died 1179) was a baron and chief justiciary of England. He fought in Normandy and commanded the castle of Falaise, returning to England in 1140. His son Godfrey de Lucy (died 1204) became bishop of Winchester in 1189. 		Lucy, Samuel (I26740)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

The Braunche Family
The Braunches were a leading family in Abingdon through several generations. A John Branch (d. 1488) worked from 1438 as a master carpenter on the building of All Souls College in Oxford. He was responsible for selecting and preparing the timber to be felled, and he may have been the designer of the hammer-beam roof in the chapel. Although his pay was only fractionally above that of the more skilled of the half dozen or so other carpenters employed, he was paid by the week and they by the day, so his income was probably more steady than theirs. He was almost certainly the John Braunche who leased property in 1438 from men whom we can recognise as leaders of the Fraternity or Guild of the Holy Cross, at that time not yet a chartered corporation. In 1440, John Braunche and his wife Avise (died 1490) took a house in West St Helen Street. The family’s connection with the Fraternity continued. Their son John (died 1521) carried on the carpentry business and was a Fraternity member. Their grandson Richard (about 1503−1544), who prospered as a woollen draper, was a master of the Guild. At the time of Amyce’s survey in 1554, Richard’s widow Elizabeth (about 1507−1556) was living in the Bury near the end of Lombard Street and deriving income from three adjoining properties in East St Helen Street, two of which, the present Nos. 55 and 51, still exist.

Richard’s elder son Thomas owned the Bull Inn on the corner of Littlebury Street (about where the NatWest Bank is now) but he died in 1565 and left it to his brother William (before 1538−1602), a woollen draper like his father but also a maltster. William continued the family tradition, becoming a governor of Christ’s Hospital, which had been established in 1553 to replace the old Fraternity. He was master four times between 1572 and 1593, as well as being mayor of Abingdon four times between 1563 and 1588. He also represented the town in the short-lived parliament of 1593.

It was in William’s time that factional conflict broke out in both the Corporation and in Christ’s Hospital, and he played a major role in it. This resulted in his oldest son Thomas (1557−1603) having his entry to these bodies delayed, so that he never achieved great distinction in them. Another son, Richard (1560−before 1602), became a clergyman and was rector of Hinton Waldrist and Longworth, while a third, Lionel (1566-1605), moved to London. In the next generation, the name of Braunche no longer appears among Corporation members and Hospital governors. Their position in Abingdon politics was taken up by a son-in-law, Robert Payne, who also inherited the Bull Inn. There was a John Braunche, saddler, who was active in Abingdon in 1637 but is not known to have taken any part in public affairs. Lionel’s offspring emigrated to Virginia and started an American branch of the family. 		Branch\ Braunche ll, John (I46785)

8296 ~ MARTHA EPES TUCKER ~
_________________________
"Martha Epes" was born about 1695 in Charles City Co., VA. She died in 1766 in Amelia Co., VA.
_________________________
MARTHA EPES knew widower, "Robert Tucker, Jr.". He was known as "Captain". (His 1st. wife was Elizabeth Parham, & they had 5 children.)

"Robert Tucker, Jr." was born in 1676 in Charles City Co., VA. He died in 1750 @ Amelia Co., VA. He made his will on 9-26-1744 which was probated on 5-18-1750.
----------------------
MARTHA EPES married CAPTAIN ROBERT TUCKER, JR. on 5-8-1712.

Their 4 CHILDREN who were all born @ Prince George Co., VA were:

~~ Martha Ann Tucker (b: 8-29-1719 or 9-29-1719; d: 5-9-1782);
m: David Ellington, Sr.; had 10 children.

~~ Joseph Tucker (b: 6-22-1722; d: 1798);
m: Prudence Wood; had 7 children.

~~ Daniel Tucker (b: Jan. 1724);
m: Elizabeth Clay; had 13 children.

~~ Sarah (Sally) Tucker (b: 5-10-1725; d: 1783);
m: John Jesse Clay; had 3 children.
_________________________
HER HUSBAND, CAPTAIN ROBERT TUCKER, JR.'s LINEAGE:

"Robert Tucker, Sr." (1652-1704)
+ Elizabeth Coleman

"Captain Robert Tucker, Jr." (1676-1750)
+ Elizabeth Parham
+ "Martha Epes" (1695-1766)
_________________________
There is a lot of circumstantial evidence that places "Martha Epes Tucker" within the "Physical Neighborhood" of the following landowners/surveyors who often witnessed deeds & wills of each other & married their neighbors.

~~ John, Daniel, William Sr., & William Jr. WORSHAM
William Sr.'s widow later married Col. Frances Epes II who was Frances III's dad.

~~ John ELLINGTON
His wife was Sarah Sabrina Worsham.
Their son, David, Sr., married the daughter of "Martha Epes Tucker" & Capt. Robert Tucker, Jr. = Martha Ann Tucker.

~~ John, Daniel, & Robert Sr. TUCKER
These men surveyed land & worked on bridge projects with the Worsham's & John Ellington.

~~ Captain Robert TUCKER, Jr.
After his wife died, he married "Martha Epes" who was 19 years younger than he.
His son, Joseph Tucker, had 3 Ellington's listed in his will as an executor (Daniel who was the son of JOHN) & 2 witnesses (Sally & JOHN).

~~ Frances EPES III
His wife was "Anne" Isham.
"Martha Epes Tucker" named her 1st. child "Martha ANN" where ANN was emphasized in her baptismal record. Anne Isham Epes died in 1718; it would have been a tribute to this deceased lady to have named Martha's first child (who was born the following year) in remembrance of her.
Frances Epes III's land also "joined" Capt. Robert Tucker, Jr.'s land. It would have been very convenient to marry-off Martha Epes (some relation to him) to his widowed neighbor!

These families were intertwined for decades within VA where they sold land to one another, witnessed deeds of one another, had their children marry into these neighboring landowners' families, surveyed land & built bridges with one another, & witnessed each others wills.

At-this-point, I'm not sure exactly which Epes Family that Martha descends from...she was married to a prominent member of the Tucker Family who was a generation older than she was when she married @ 19...she had to have had an older Epes relation which helped to facilitate her marriage to the neighbor of Frances Epes III, Captain Robert Tucker, Jr.

______________________________________________
"Martha Ann Tucker's FATHER's LINEAGE:

(Please Note: This was particularly tedious to do because this family named most of their children "John, Robert, Daniel, William, & Sarah (Sally)" which complicated the search for Martha Ann's father's direct line! There were "multiple" generations of brothers who did this!)

(Will Bk. 3, p. 123 of Prince Edward Co., VA).
*** His Sons, Joseph Tucker, Jr. & Wood Tucker, & "Daniel Ellington" are listed as his 3 Executors. "Sally Ellington, John Ellington, & Daniel Ellington” are also witnesses to his will. ***
____________________________________________________
“Martha Ann Tucker” MARRIED “David Ellington, Sr.” in 1735.
----------------------------------------------------
DAVID ELLINGTON, SR. was born in 1713 or 1718 @ Prince George Co., VA. This gets a little tricky as to his death; he "made his will" on 11-5-1773 @ Nottoway Parish, Amelia Co., VA. One account (of ‘many' varying accounts) said he died on 5-11-1774 which was the spring after he made the will in Nov. So, I tend to think he did die on 5-11-1774. HIS FATHER was "John Ellington, Jr. or IV" who arrived in 1712 (according to a NASA biography called "Ellington Field, a Short History") or in 1717 (according to Ancestry.com where a passenger list to Virginia showed a "John Ellington" arriving in 1717 "with father John" stated as 'another' John Ellington. They were listed as "appraiser & surveyor".) HIS MOTHER was "Sarah Sabrina Worsham". (There were many Worsham's in VA in the 1600-1700's, but which one was her line is unknown as-of-yet.)
----------------------------------------------------
MARTHA ANN & DAVID ELLINGTON, SR. had 10 Children who all lived to adulthood & prospered…quite a feat in the mid 1700's!

THEIR CHILDREN:
* = service during The Rev. War.
It seems these Ellington's "gave goods & supplies for the war effort" while the 1 son-in-law was a supply agent (Martha's husband) & the other son-in-law actually "fought in The Rev. War" (Obedience's husband).

1. Martha (1736--1780); m: Joseph Motley, III in 1750.
* "Martha Ellington Motley" = There are So Many stories about: how she protected the whereabouts of her husband, Capt. Motley, from the Tories; how she would not divulge to the Tories where the supplies were kept for The Rev. War effort; & how she was stabbed & left weak & unconscious by the raiding Tories; & some say she "died for her country".
I don't know. She was attempting to recover from the birth of her "11th. child @ age 44" when the Tories attacked her in her bed! The Rev. War ended in 1783; Martha died in 1780. She "could be" a true heroine of The Rev. War!

* "Joseph Motley III" served as a Captain under George Washington during The French & Indian War (1754-1763).
He was a "supply agent" for The Continental Army during The Rev. War (hence, the Tories wanting to know where the supplies were stored from Martha).
This is perhaps "why" most of the Ellington's "supplied goods & materials to The Continental Army" because of their brother-in-law Motley holding this particular position as supply agent.

2. Jeremiah (1737--1796); m: Frances (Fanny) Jones.
* Jeremiah Ellington supplied beef to The Continental Army during The Rev. War.

3. Lucy (1739--1802); m: Joel Tanner; lived in Wilkes Co., GA.

4. "DAVID, JR." (9-7-1741—1-2-1820); m: Jerusha Fowlkes in 1765; Jerusha died 6-28-1789; m: Jane Harrison on 1-6-1790.
David JR., Jerusha, & Jerusha's cousin John were "Separate Baptists". They petitioned Amelia Co., VA court to gather in the home of George Walton in 1768 to worship. DAVID JR. was a Baptist Minister in 1771 in Amelia Co. VA; he continued that from 1781-1791 in Lunenburg Co., VA.
-David married Jane Harrison in Prince Edward Co., VA on 1-6-1790. She was the daughter of William Harrison.
* "DAVID ELLINGTON, JR." [Patriotic Service, VA] according to "Soldiers & Patriots of GA" website.

5. Josiah (1743--1819); m: Mary Cunningham; m: Elizabeth Bruce.

6. Obedience (1745--1827); she died in Hancock, GA; m: Stephen Evans, Jr.;
there were 13 children from this marriage;
* "Stephen Evans, Jr." was a corporal in "The VA Militia" during The Rev. War.

7. Sarah (1750--1782); m: John Page.
Sarah married John Page. She was dead before 11-28-1782 when he married Elizabeth Wilkerson. John Page died in Lunenburg Co., VA in 1786 & identified "David Ellington Page" as a minor son in his will. Sarah's brother, David Ellington JR., witnessed Page's will.

8. Hezekiah, Sr. (2-23-1753—1793); m: Ridley Ann Bruce.
* "Hezekiah Ellington" provided beef & a gun to The Continental Army during The Rev. War.

9. Enoch Ward (1754--1826) m: Sarah Woodson in 1779; m: Judith Woodson (her sister) in 1780; m: Nancy Blankenship in 1816.

10. Stephen (1757--?); m: Frances Williams.
* "Stephen Ellington" provided beef to The Continental Army during The Rev. War.
--------------------------------------------------
*** DAVID SR.'s FATHER "John Ellington" lent a horse & also provided beef & bacon to The Continental Line during The Revolutionary War said one account. Then this: "Ellington, John: Service: VA Rank: Patriotic Service: Description: 'He rendered material aid.' This was according to Abercrombie & Slatten, VA Rev.
