Judith Chastain

Judith married Antoine Francois Agee in 1659. Antoine (son of Mathieu James Agee and Julin DeSage) was born in 1639 in Nantes, Loire-Atlantique, Pays de la Loire, France; died in 1685 in France, Lot-et-Garonne, Aquitaine, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Arrival: Sep 1700, Jamestown, James City, Virginia, USA

Notes:

Mathieu Agee, b abt 1676 near Nantes, was the son of Anthony Agee b 1639 and Judith Chastian b abt 1638 Nantes) married Ann Goddin (dau of Andre Goddin). He was the grandson of John Francis Chastian, b 1612 Nantes and Frances Jane Re-Nault, b abt 1620 Nantes.

Mathieu Agee is the progenitor of all the Agee family in America. He was of the Des Ages, who were of Noble Birth, of the old Bishopric of Saint Milo in or near Nantes, France. Because of their sympathy for the cause of the Huguenots, their claim to nobility was abrogated and their lands confiscated in 1688, as were titles of lands of many Huguenots and other non-conformists. Mathieu Agee left France in 1688, going to Holland where he, with some two thousand Huguenots, attached themselves to William of Orange and was part of the expedition to England, where William dethroned the then Catholic King James, and himself assumed the duties of the crown.

Mathieu Agee came to Virginia from England in 1690. In recognition of his service he was granted extensive tracts of land by King William. Later he became one of the founders of Manakin in the colony of Virginia and was a long time Vestryman in King William Parish. "He was of sterling character and winsome personality possessing strong business ability. He assumed the duties of citizenship in a new land with dignity, courage and fortitude and a successful life naturally ensued."

Mathieu and Ann had four children: Judith, Isaac, James, and Anthony.

Anthony Agee (b. about 1726, Va.), m. Nancy Binnion and had 11 children: Joshua,James, Daniel, Matthew, Jacob, John, Isaac,Reuben, Anthony, Jr., Jessie and Lear.

Isaac Agee married May Smith (kin of Capt John Smith) and they had 11 children: Patsy,William, Elizabeth, May, Sarah, Isaac, James,Kizzie, Edmond, Nancy and Jessie.

FAURE FORE FORD

ORIGIN OF THE NAME

The immigrant ancestor of this family was a native of Auvergne, France; who came
with a party of French Huguenots who were refugees of religious persecution who
fled to Virginia and were one of the founders of Manakin Town.

The original spelling of the name was FAURE, later Anglicized to FORE and still
later to FORD.

ARMS

Argent a heart gules, pierced by three arrows sable, two and one.

SYMBOLISM

ARGENT: (silver) Denotes Peace and sincerity

GULES: (red) Military fortitude and magnanimity

SABLE: (black) Constancy

HEART: Denotes ardent affection. It is so very symbolical, and it is
by no means of
modern composition. It was confirmed as an ancient bearing, in 1768 by
Heralds College.

ARROWS: Signifies a man resolved to abide by the uttermost hazard of
battle, who to
that end has furnished himself to the full.

This coat is of ancient origin, since it bears no crest and no motto. Mottoes
did not come into use until the 16th century. Crests came into being after the
Crusades, when the knights wore them in the tournaments to distinguish one from
another.
(Wade’ Symbolism)

THE HUGUENOT FAMILY OF FAURE, FORE, FOARD, FORD

Of the army of William of Orange, numbering eleven thousand, which sailed from
Holland, and by whose aid he obtained the Crown of England, three regiments,
each containing seven hundred and fifty effective men, were Huguenots. To these
were added a squadron of horse. In gratitude to these zealous and effective
supporters, and in sympathy with the great multitude of their suffering brethren
driven violently from their homes and native country simply for their religion
the King invited them to make their home in his new dominions in America. A
large number sought a home in Virginia and settled along the Potomac,
Rappahannock and James Rivers.

In the year 1700, more than five hundred emigrants, at the head of whom was the
Marquis de la Muce, were landed in Virginia by four successive debarkations.
(Beverly’s History of Virginia p. 244.) They appear to have settled at different
points; a portion about James Town, some in Northfolk County, others in Surry,
and two hundred or more at a spot some twenty miles above Richmond, on the south
side of James River (now in Powhatan County), where then thousand acres of land,
which had been occupied by the extinct Manakin tribe of Indians were given to
them. They were also exempt from the payment of taxes for seven years, and were
allowed to support their minister in their own way.

The records relating to the emigration to Virginia in 1700 of the Huguenot
refugees, are taken from the originals now deposited at the Bodleian Library,
Oxford University, England. These originals consist of a vellum bound volume of
MSS. endorsed: “ORIGINAL PAPERS RELATING TO THE FRENCH PLANTATION IN THE WEST
INDIES.”

They are undoubtedly the original documents emanating from the Provincial
Government of Virginia under Francis Nicholson, as they bear the official
signature of Dioniisius Wright, who was Secretary to the Council. We now find
the name of Faure under the following heading:

“A List of The Refugees Who are to Receive of Ye Miller of Falling Creek Mill
One Bushel A Head of Indian Meale Monthly as Settled At Or About King Williams
Town, to Begin in Feb, 1700-1. ”
“Efaure, his brother, and two sisters……….4”
“Rolle Des Francois, Suisses, Genevois, Alemans, Et Flamans Embarquest Dans Le
Navire Nomme Le Nasseau pour Aller a la Virginia. Pierre Fferre, sa femme et un
enfant.” (Virginia County Records Volume 7, p. 161 by Crozier.)

From the above we find Pierre Faure had a wife and child as well as two brothers
and two sisters. The names of the two sisters cannot be ascertained. The
brothers were Daniel and Jean (John).

One might expect the name FAURE found on the lists of Manakin Town settlers to
change to the English word FORE, but not to FORD. However, stranger and more
surprising changes than this have happened to many surnames. This tradition
cannot be totally ignored nor discredited, nor can it be wholly without
investigation of authentic evidence from other sources such as church or parish
books, land grants and deeds and other court records. These should be read
carefully and taken together with a reasonable Consideration of the local
influences. The Frenchman, or any other continental European, coming into the
English colonies, where all the clerks and office holders were Englishmen, we
met with the tendency of the English to Anglicize all proper names. The many
ways in which names were changed often produced meaningless names of
unrecognizable origin. The individuals themselves, reacted variously to the
process of this change in their name. Some clung tenaciously to the original
forms, others spelled the name one way but pronounced it another, while others
did not resent or resist changes either orthographically or phonetically far
from the original. In each individual case of change in name no matter how
ordinary and logical or how extraordinary and unusual, it may be, it is
necessary to provide by authentic records that the family bearing the changed
name is beyond a doubt the very same one which bore the former name. It is not a
question of what can or cannot happen, but a question of what did actually
happen in that one particular instance.

Reference to this change in name together with much data on the family was
published in the Huguenot Society book for the year 1936 volume 7. Before taking
up the abstracts from the court records it may be advisable to review certain
items which enter this specific problem. The land set aside “as the King’s
donation to the French Refugees” was “to encourage the French to remain close to
Manakin Town”. It is the opinion of persons who know the old records of this
settlement intimately, that only French Huguenots were accorded the right to
hold this land and to enjoy the special privileges for a number of years, such
as freedom from taxes for seven years. Thus it is not until 1709 on the records
of Henrico Court and 1715 upon the land grants books of the Colony of Virginia
that these French settlers came into court to prove their importation, claim
their headrights and take out their land patents. When they do appear on these
books were find both the name of FAURE and FORD for grants within the lines
defined and laid aside for the French Refugees. This is no surprise if you have
been reading the Henrico Court records from the year of 1700 down to 1715. Nor
is it any shock to see that the land records slip Peter Ford into the shoes of
Peter Faure or vice-versa.

Peter FORE and Peter FORD received grants in King William parish on the tracts
set aside for the French Refugees as the Manakin Town settlement. The deeds in
the court house show both names. To follow the land holdings under both names on
the books we must recognize the location of this land set aside for the
settlement and use the French Refugees, and included at that date within King
William Parish. This has been most ably presented by Mr. Morgan P. Robinson,
Archivist, of the Virginia State Library, in Volume XLIII, Number 1, of the
Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, under “Henrico Parish of the Diocese
of Virginia.” These lands were under the jurisdiction of the Court of Henrico
County in 1700, when they were first designated and appropriated for this
special use. But the lands actually lay in what we know as Powhatan County,
Virginia, today. In 1728, this are came under the jurisdiction of the newly
formed Court of Goochland, and in 1749 under the Court of Cumberland County and
in 1777 became Powhatan. That is, all of the French tract excepting that part of
it which now lies in Chesterfield County, Virginia. This part remained under the
Court of Henrico County until 1749, when the Chesterfield Court was erected.
Hence we must follow the French Settlers who lived within King William Parish,
in what is now Powhatan County, through this succession of court records to
trace their land holdings, and to stay with the Henrico records until 1749 for
the families whose land was on the Chesterfield side of the present dividing
line between that County and Powhatan County. The books of this period of
Henrico County are in the Archives Division of the Virginia State Library. The
land grants or patent books are in the Virginia State Land Office in the
Capital. The Goochland, Cumberland, Powhatan and Chesterfield books are in their
respective court houses.

The family of Daniel Fore lived on the Chesterfield side of the parish. The name
FAURE, FOURE, FORE, and FORD runs through the records on the Powhatan side of
the parish with all variations in spelling.

What became of Peter Fore (Foure) and his land grants? He dodges about on the
tithing lists with Peter Ford from 1710 to 1734, neither appearing when the
other is there. No inventory, or other vague or even fait sign of his death
appears on the books. Peter Ford leaves a will, the original of which is in the
court house at Goochland, Virginia. This will was written by some one else and
Peter Ford signs with a tiny o for his mark. This is interesting when compared
to the mark used by Peter Faure, a small o with a slight tail to it, in 1709.

In all this research particular attention has been paid to the spelling of the
name under observation in each record and is given exactly as found in each
instance. When the name appears two ways in one record it was found to be that
very way in that record. The land grants to men by the name of FOURE, FORE, and
FORD of King William Parish will be followed by the deeds relating to them.

The following Court Order of Henrico County: The court places the name of Peter
Ford as one in the list of five men, any four of whom are to take an inventory
of the estate of Jean Durran, deceased, in 1709. When the inventory is made and
is returned to the court, Peter Fore has been one of the four men who responded
to this order and as Peter Faure, with his characteristic French mark, he signs
the inventory with his French neighbors.

Henrico County, Virginia Court Order Book (1707-1709) p. 138. “Court held May 2,
1709…A paper was produced in this Court by Jean Forcey as the nuncupative will
of Jean Durran, deceased, and proved by the oaths of Peter Dutoy, James D….and
Francis Bening….the motion was rejected…the Court presuming that said Jane died
under coverture…and that Peter Durran her late or present husband is not yet
dead…but for securing her estate to whom it does belong this Court orders that
Stephen Mallett, Peter Ford, John Jones, James Shampane, Stephen Chastain, and
four of them to appraise the estate and report to the next Court.”

Henrico County, Virginia Court Order Book (1707-1709) p. 154. “June 1, 1709 Jane
Durands estate appraised on May 20, 1709 and returned by… Peter () Foure.”

Henrico County, Virginia Court Order Book (1707-1709) p. 169. “The appraisal of
Jane Durand’s estate ordered May 2, 1709 and made May 20, 1709 and returned to
the Court held June 1, 1709…” is signed by the four men of the five named by the
court fur this duty…”

Note: This is signed, as usual, by the imitation of the original signatures.
It is still customary in the courts to ask men who are nearest neighbors to make
such inventories that it may not be a burden to them to perform this task. In
the analysis of all of these data, please notice the neighbors of Peter Faure,
Peter Fore, Peter Ford.

This same Court Order Book of Henrico County, Virginia, records many
importation’s of the French Refugees who now come into court with their
declaration and petitions to claim their headrights. Among these we find Peter
Foard.

Henrico County, Virginia Court Order Book (1707-1709) p. 154. June 1, 1709.
“…Upon the petition of Peter Foard…to certify that there is due to him 150 acres
of land for the importation of himself and his wife Elizabeth and John Foard his
son…”

This record shows that Peter Foard brought a wife and a child with him into the
Colony. The King William Parish records show that a Pierre Faure was the elder
brother of the Faure children of the Widow Faure. The above record is the
clerk’s record and not a copy in his book of any special document. Hence he was
not following a written statement.

Book 10 p.296 Oct. 31, 1716. George I, to Peter Foure. “107 acres, 1 rood, & 13
poles, in Henrico County on the south side of the James River; beginning at a
small corner hiccory & elm standing on the river parting Stephen Chastain and
Peter Foure thence on Chastain’s line w. 35 degrees s. 400 poles to corner white
oak and hiccory standing near a small meadow thence e. 37 degrees n. 420 poles
to a corner white oak & Hackberry standing on the river thence up the river
according to the meanders 36 poles to the place begun at. It being part of the
upper tract of the last 5000 acres of land surveyed for the French Refugees.”

Book 5 p. 552 Dec. 9, 1748. Daniel Ford of King William Parish, Goochland
County, Virginia sells to Peter Soblett; land described as …”all that
pllantation whereon the said Daniel Ford now lives situated and lying in King
William Parish, Goochland County, Virginia, between the lines of the said Peter
Soblett and lands of Daniel Perro…adjoining the James River, which said lands
are bequeathed to the said Daniel by the will of his father…containing 107
acres, more or less.” Witnesses: John Harris, William Harris, Mary x Heughs.
Book 4 p. 146 Feb. 12, 1742. Goochland County, Virginia. Stephen Renno of King
William Parish, same County sells to Daniel Perro of same place… “44 acres
bounded at a corner white oak & Hackberry standing on the river parting Peter
Ford and the said Renno’s lands thence on Foure’s line…”

Stephen Renno’s deed to Daniel Perro accounts for the change in name on the
boundary line shown on Daniel Ford’s deed to this land, and Stephen Renno’s
patent confirms this land as the patent of Peter Foure of 1715. Patent Book 10
p. 283 Stephen Renno’s patent dated March 23, 1715. “Lands in Kimg William
Parish, on the south side of the James River adjoining Peter Foure’s land…133
acres.”

The will of Peter Ford, dated April 17, 1744 and proved April 16, 1745, devised
this land referred to in Daniel’s deed, in these words “I give and bequeath to
my son Daniel Ford and his heirs forever the plantation whear I now live in
Mankin Ton on the River.” This carries the 107 acres from Peter Foure to Peter
Ford and down to Daniel Ford. This land was re residence of Peter Ford in 1744
and Daniel in 1748. (See will of Peter Ford.)

Daniel Ford inherited land from his brother John Ford. This land was also in the
posession of their father and devised by his will. This land is described as
lying on Jones’ Creek and contains 125 acres. In 1755, it ajoined lands of John
Harris, Peter Sublett and William Randolph.

Peter Fore received a patent dated July 19, 1735 for 125 acres adjoining the
said Peter Fore’s old bounds, James Robinson, Peter Sublett, Joseph Woodson,
William Randolph, Anthony Rapine. These names are repeated in the boundaries of
the deed of the Fords.

If you will closely follow these deeds and compare them with the land patents
and with the bequests made in the will of Peter Ford (1744) you will see that
the name Fore and Ford was used for and by the same individual, in the family
residing within King William Parish and by that family as they spread out. It
would appear that certain ones kept the name of Fore later and that others
preferred the English name of Ford. The following abstracts from the Deed Books
confirm this statement.

Book 1 p.66 March 17, 1728, Goochland County, Virginia. “Peter Foard of King
William Parish, planter, to my brother John Foard of St. James Parish…land on a
lane parting Peter Chastains’ land…” Witnesses: Joseph Bingley, Henry Blagrave,
Jr., Benjamin Stedam. Judith, the wife of Peter Foard signs this deed.

Book 1 p.74 1728 Court Order, Goochland County, Virginia. “Peter Ford
acknowledged his deed to John Ford and Judith wife of Peter relinquishes her
dower.”

Book 1 p. 78 May 12, 1729 Goochland County, Virginia. John Ford of St. James
Parish to Joseph Bingley… “land which was devised to the said John Foard by his
brother Peter Foard…150 acres beginning at a red oak tree parting Peter
Chastains lands from the said Fourds which is the upper part of the said survey
made by Peter Fourd and given to the said John Fourd.” Anne the wife of John
Fourd signs her dower rights in this land.
Book 1 p.233 Feb. 15, 1930. Goochland County, Virginia. Joseph Bingley sells
this 150 acres to James Robinson.

Book 4 p.361 Deed dated May 17, 1744. Goochland County, Virginia. John Harris of
Goochland County, Virginia sells to Alexander Speers of Henrico County,
Virginia… “150 acres of land on the south side of the James River by name of
Forks of the Road on the right hand leading up the county to Fine Creek and on
the left hand to Peterville Church…it being the same parcel of land which was
granted by a patent to Peter Foard and by the said Peter given to his brother
John Foard by deed March 17, 1728 and by several conveyances came to Charles
Taylor who by his will left it to his wife Mary who married George W…wood who
sold the land to the said Harris.”

Peter Foard signed his deed with the same small o that he used in signing his
will.

Book 1 p. 315 March 20, 1731. Goochland County, Virginia. James Ford, planter,
King William Parish, Goochland County to James Robinson… “95 acres on the south
side of the James River…at a corner Hickory tree parting Peter Lews Sublett and
the said James Ford’s lands.” Ann the wife of James signs her dower rights.
Witnesses: Tarleton Fleming, Isaac Bates,…Bondurant.

The land grant to Peter Ford dated Jan. 13, 1725, for land on the west side of
Jones’ Creek for 350 acres, was the land he gave to his son James Ford by his
will as shown by the following deeds.

Book 5 p. 175 Jan. 31, 1745. Goochland County, Virginia. “William Battersby to
Stephen Renno…200 acres on the west side of Jones Creek, Goochland County,
whereon the said Battersby now dwells…bounded by land of the late Col. William
Randolph, dec’d … by the said Creek…and by the lands of James Fore.”

Deed Book 1 p. 471 December 17, 1751. Recorded in Cumberland County, Virginia.
“James Ford of King William Parish, Cumberland County, Virginia sells to Thomas
Prosser of Hanover Co., Va…land lying in King William Parish, Cumberland County,
Va. … being a part of a larger tract of land which was granted to Peter Ford and
by his will left to his son and said James Ford, as will be seen by reference to
records in Goochland County, Va…200 acres…beginning at a white oak in Thomas
Turpin’s line…and on the west side of Jones Creek.” On p.474 Ann the wife of the
said James Ford relinquished her dower in this land. Witnesses: Valentine Wood,
Tucker Woodson, David Murry, Gideon Marr. James Ford signed with a mark.
Recorded June Court 1752. This deed accounts for 200 acres of the 350 acre
grant.

The name Fore and Ford are found applied to the same person in the foregoing
deeds in the case of James Ford which fact when compared to the tithing lists
and the other records of James Ford (Fore) either spelling make him the same
identical person.

Peter Ford by his will, dated 1744, proved 1745, left to his son Peter Ford,
“300 acres of land on Matthews Branch where he now lives.” This land was granted
to Peter Ford by a patent dated Jan. 13, 1725. (Book 12 p.336) The whole tract
was for 400 acres. Peter Ford had sold 100 acres of this tract on Jan. 29, 1725
to Francis James. This 100 acres as well as the 300 acres again show in the
deeds the name of Fore and Ford for the same person. The following abstracts
are for this 400 acres in the division of the 100 acres and the 300 acres.

Book (1725-1737) pt 1. Henrico County, Virginia, records p.16. Deed dated
January 29, 1725 and acknowledged in Court on May 2, 1926, by Peter Ford of
Henrico County, Virginia who sells to Francis James of the same county, “for
divers good causes and 6… land lying on the south side of the James River and on
the east side of Jones Creek known as Matthew’s Branch…100 acres of land…”
Judith, wife of the said Peter Ford signs her dower rights on May 2, 1926.
Witnesses: Daniel Stoner, John Payne, Anthony Rapine.

Book 1 p.136 Oct. 21, 1729. Goochland County, Virginia. “Francis James of St.
James Parish, Goochland County, Va. Sells to William Lansdon and Hester his
wife…500 acres…100 acres of which was purchased by the said Francis James from
Peter Ford and Judith his wife by a deed acknowledged in court of Henrico County
on May 2, 1726…and 400 acres which was purchased from David Croom in 1723.”
Witnessed: Joseph Bingley.

The following deed was made during the time (1726-1729) when Francis James held
this 100 acres and the remaining 300 acres was still in possession of Peter Ford
(Fore) the patentee.

Book 1 p.12 June 11, 1728. Goochland County, Virginia. Matthew Agee of Goochland
Co. Va. Sells to John Smith, “…100 acres of land on the south side of the James
River along the east side of Matthews branch…and bounding on the lines of Edward
Maxey, Francis James and Peter Fore…”

In Peter Ford’s patent to this land, his land is further described as adjacent
to land of Daniel Croom. The deed of Francis James shows that he bought this
land from Croom in a previous deed.

Book 2 p.23 Nov. 27, 1752. Cumberland County, Virginia. Peter Fore of King
William Parish, Cumberland County, Virginia sells to Samuel Flourney… “land on
Matthews Branch…lying between the lines of James Smith, Peter Anthony Lookadoo,
Daniel Fore, Esther Lansdon, John Smith and Gideon Flourney…300 acres…it being
the land on which the said Peter Fore now liveth…” Mary the wife of the said
Peter Fore signs her dower rights in this land, witnesses: Bennett Goode, John
Bondurant, James Harris.

Peter Ford was living on this land in 1744 when his father devised it to him by
his will and Peter Fore is still living on it in 1752 when he sells it to Samuel
Flourney.

Book 1 p.79 May 12, 1729. Goochland County, Virginia. William Lansdon and Hester
his wife of St. James Parish said County sell to John Joseph Bingley, Matthew
Bingley and Henry Blagrave.

Book 1 p.426 August 21, 1733. Goochland County, Virginia. “William Lansdon &
Hester his wife sell to John Fore and to Stephen Fore of King William Parish,
Goochland County, VA… land on the south side of the James River…133 acres…lying
in King William Parish…beginning at a Walnut standing on the river parting
Stephen Reno and Capoon’s lands thence on Reno’s line…which said land is a part
of the last 5000 acres surveyed for the French Refugees and taken up by a patent
to John Jones dated March 23, 1715.” Witnesses: Stephen Chastain, Marmaduk Hix,
Thomas Turpin.

Hester Lansdon was the daughter of John Jones and her sister Elizabeth Jones,
was the wife of Anthony Bennan. John Jones was a neighbor of Peter Faure, Peter
Ford.

Book 5 p.261 May 19, 1747. Goochland County, Virginia. Stephen Ford of Parish of
Dale, Henrico County, Virginia to William Harris of King William Parish,
Goochland County, Va. “…a plantation in King William Parish on the south side of
the James River and on the upper side of Wm. Harris’ land…land which was left to
the said Ford…by will of his grandfather Renno and which now falls to said
Stephen as Heir-at-law…133 acres…part of a tract of 178 acres.” Ann the wife of
said Stephen signs her dower.

In the following deed may we call your attention to the grant of Peter Foure on
107 acres adjoining Stephen Chastain’s land which said 107 acres was devised by
Peter Ford in his will to his son Daniel Ford and on which land Peter Ford was
living in 1745 and Daniel was residing in 1752. (Peter Foure patent Oct. 31,
1716).

Benjamin Harris of Goochland County, Virginia, made a deed to Peter Sublett
dated July 24, 1745 for 95 acres on the south side of the James River adjoining
the river and along the lines of Peter Louis Sublett and the lines of Peter
Ford…as by a patent to Stephen Chastain and being transferred several times
until it came to Bennett Goode she conveyed it to the said Benjamin Harris.

Book 2 p.197 March 6, 1755. Cumberland County, Virginia. Daniel Ford of
Cumberland Co. Va. Makes over to John Pleasants Sr., and to John Pleasants Jr.,
the following land to secure a debt owing by him to the said Pleasants… “land
which was left to the said Daniel Ford by the will of his brother John Ford,
deceased, 125 acres on Jones Creek bounded by the lands of John Harris, Peter
Sublett and William Randolph.” Witnesses: Robert Rutledge, John Epperson, James
Pleasants. No wife signs a dower. (See the will of Peter Ford, to his sone John,
in 1745 and of John Ford, dated 1753, and the grant of Peter Fore for 125 acres,
July 19, 1735.) (Patent Book 16 p.42).

The examination of the land books, court order books and the wills recorded in
the several counties quoted whose courts held jurisdiction over King William
Parish, now in Powhatan County, Virginia confirms this unusual change in the
name Fuare, or Foure, to Fore and to Foard, Ford, in the particular instance of
the family residing in King William Parish, Virginia. We can see where as time
went on certain descendants of Peter Foure (Ford) retained the name of Fore
while others changed their name to Ford (Foard). The family that removed to
Buckingham County have kept this tradition of the origin of their name as being
the French name, Foure, handing it down in their family to the present day. The
records of King William Parish both in the parish books and on the court records
testify to the fact upon which they have based this tradition.

The data given under the Faure-Fore-Ford family deals mainly with this family
residing within the limits of King William Parish on the land “donated to the
French settlers to encourage them to remain close to Manakin Town.” Data on
Daniel Fore of Chesterfield County, not shown.

Pierre Faure was allowed to draw supplies for his brothers and sisters and a
Pierre Ferre and his wife and child came over on the Nassu in 1700/1. (Huguenot
#7 p.192).

Peter Ford and his wife Elizabeth and their son John declare their importation
in 1709 along with many other of the French men of Mamakin Twon. The records
show that the land patents of both Peter Fore and Peter Ford come down to the
family of Peter Ford who died testate in 1745. The records of Henrico, Goochland
and Cumberland Counties show that the descendents of Peter Fore (Peter Ford)
were by both names in later generations.

The study of the land grants made to Peter Fore, and to Peter Ford together with
the deeds under both spellings of the last name and the will of Peter Ford
(dated April 16, 1745) give us his sons and daughters and show that their
descendents carried down the two spellings of this name. The following abstracts
from the records of certain Virginia Court houses help to identify these
descendents and the descendents of his brother John Fore to whom he made a deed
for 150 acres of land in 1729. (Huguenot #7 Faure-Fore-Ford).

Peter Ford who died testate in 1745 left the following children: John Ford, who
died testate in 1753, no wife or children named in his will, all property left
to his brothers and sisters. Daniel Ford who inherited the home place of his
father, 107 acres, which he sold in 1748 to Peter Sublett; and later inherited
from his brother John Ford the 125 acres on Jones Creek, which he mortgaged to
John Pleasants in 1755.
Peter Ford who inherited the 300 acres from the grant of 400 acres, which he
sold to Samuel Flourney in 1752. Peter’s wife was named Mary in 1752.
James Ford who inherited 200 acres from his father, he and his wife Anne sold
this land on Jones Creek in 1751 to Thomas Prosser.
Judith Ford who married John Leake after 1745 and
Mary Ford who married William Fuqua after 1745.

The children of John Ford, the elder, brother of Peter Ford, the elder, also
carried the name as Fore and Ford.

Albemarle County, Virginia Records: Book 1 p.371 Oct. 17, 1751. James Ford of
King William Parish, Cumberland County, Va. to Mary Agee and her husband James
Agee of St. Ann’s Parish, Albemarle County, Va. “for the love and affection he
hath for his said daugher and son-in-law…200 acres in St. Ann’s Parish on
Huberd’s Creek…” Witnesses: Daniel Ford, and John Beasley. Signed James ( )
Fore. (Note the signature on this deed which is written in the name of James
Ford. He signs it James Fore.)

Book 3 p. 14 dated 1761 Matthew Agee to his son James Agee land on Hubbard’s
Creek adj. James Ford, Witnesses: Shelton Raile, Chas. Garrett and James ( )
Ford.

Book 3 p.15 James Ford of Tilletson Parish, Albermarle County, Virginia. “… for
divers good causes and valuable consideration to Anne Chastain…100 acres in
Albemarle County, VA…on Slate River…Feb. 28, 1761. Witnessed: Chas. May.

The foregoing deed is indexed as a deed of gift, signed by James ( ) Ford. James
Ford had sold his home place in King William Parish, Cumberland (now Powhatan)
County in 1751 to Thomas Prosser and by his deed to his daughter Mary Agee was
“of King William Parish, Cumberland County, in 1751.” He removed before 1761 to
Albemarle County, Virginia. Tilletson Parish of Albemarle County became
Buckingham County when that County was formed in 1761. So we see that James Fore
removed to AlbemarleCounty, Virginia from King William Parish, Cumberland
County, Virginia when he sold his home place which he had inherited from his
father Peter Fore (Ford).

Book 2 p.8 March 8, 1768. John Bondurant Sr., of King William Parish, Cumberland
County, Virginia makes a deed of gift to his son John for land on Slate River
granted to said John Sr., in 1746...200 acres. Witnesses: James Ford and Ann
Ford.
Book 2 p.175 April 11, 1759. Peter Bondurant of Cumberland County, Virginia to
Anthony Agee of Albemarle County, 200 acres on Greens Creek. Witnesses: Stephen
Ford, Chas. May and Martin Benien. (Huguenot #8 K.C. Gottschalk; Valentine
Papers volume 1,2,3,4; Virginia County Records by Crozier; Virginia Genealogies
& Records by Burns; Huguenot Emigration to Virginia by Brock).

WIDOW FAURE
On the Mary Ann, which arrived at James City, Virginia July 31, 1700 after a
passage of about 13 weeks was Widow Faure and four infants, two sons and two
daughters. (Any child under 21 years was considered an infant.) This Widow Faure
whose husband died before they left London or during the long voyage over is
supposed to be the mother of Pierre Faure. The two sons were Daniel and Jean.
The daughters names are not known. (Va. County Records by Crozier).

Pierre Faure was the son of “Widow Faure.” It is to be presumed that the
husband died either before the start from England or during the voyage. (see
page 11) Pierre Faure was the son of Daniel Isaac Faure and Mary Chastain (Widow
Faure). (From Huguenot #7; letter of Miss Josephine Dupuy who has record of Ford
family Bible, member of Huguenot Society Founders of Manakin Town.)

DANIEL FAURE, BROTHER OF PIERRE FAURE, SR.
“From the land grants at Richmond we find that a grant of 296 acres was given
Daniel Faure the 3d day of March, 1715, the said land lying chiefly in Henrico
County.” (Book 10 p.285).

In the Vestry Book of King William Parish, Manakin Town, under date of a Vestry
assembled 25 August 1718 the ‘Sieur Daniel Faure is elected a vestryman.’ As
Pierre Faure was not granted land until 1716, and then only 107 acres, it is
almost impossible that his son Daniel should have had a large grant of 296 acres
given him a year ahead of his father, and he was too young to have been a
Vestryman in 1718.

The name of Daniel Faure is found on the list of Tithables in King William
Parish from the year 1717-1736. During the later years it is more than likely
that Daniel, the son of Peter, is meant. While no will of Daniel Faure can be
found, it is extremely probable that he was a brother of Pierre, Snr., and
Daniel, the son of Pierre, was named after his uncle.

JEAN FAURE, BROTHER OF PIERRE FAURE, SR.
We have ample evidence to show that Jean (John) Faure was also a brother of
Pierre Faure, Snr. In the Vestry Book of King William Parish, Jean and Pierre
Faure are on the list of Tithables for the year 1713, and in1717 Daniel Faure is
included.

There is no grant of land recorded in the Land Office to John Faure until the
year 1742 when in conjunction with Thomas Vann he was granted 178 acres in
Henrico County. (Book 20 p.339) In the County Records for Goochland, we drive
the information that Pierre and Jean were brothers: “Conveyance from Peter Ford,
Snr., King William Parish, Goochland County, planter, 7 March 1728 to my dear
and well beloved brother John Ford of the Parish of St. James, County afsd., 150
acres of land in sd Parish of St. James.”

From the Parish Register of Manakin Town we find the following entries:
1 March 1721/2 Jean Faure godfather to Elizabeth Morriset. (p.17) 12 Dec. 1728,
was born a boy to Jean Faure. (p.22). There is no further entries in the Parish
Registers under the name of John Faure. It is evident that after selling the
land, the gift of his brother, that John moved to Henrico County, where he died
about the year 1748.

WILL OF JOHN FORE
In the name of God, Amen.
I, John Fore, of King William Parish, County of Henrico, being very sick, do
make this my last will and testament, etc: I give to my loving wife Mary the use
of the Plantation I now live on during her widowhood, and the use of all my
slaves and personal estate until my children come of lawful age.
Item: I give to my daughter Elizabeth forty pounds, to be raised out of my
estate, and a bed and a cow and a calf.
Item: I give to my daughter Mary a negro girl named Sarah, and a bed and a cow
and calf.
Item: I give to my son John all my lands that I am Possessed of and the land I
greeed with Captain John Nash for, I give to him and his heirs.
I appoint my wife Mary my who extx. And Robert Goode, my truly friend, to be
guardian to my children.

It will be seen that from the existing records, John Faure, the brother of
Peter, married a Mary ________, by whom he had issue:
1. John, probably born 12 December 1728
2. Elizabeth
3. Mary

There is nothing further concerning the children of John Faure in the records of
Henrico County, and it is likely that they removed with other members of the
family to Buckingham County, Virginia. (Virginia County Records by Crozier,
volume 7).

PIERRE FAURE, SR.
Peter Faure, son of Daniel Isaac Faure and Mary Chastain, grandson of Isaac and
Mary Ann Thiboult. Peter was born about 1675 in France, married Elizabeth Agar
(Agee) born about 1677 in France. One of the founders of Manakin Town. Children
of Peter Ford and Elizabeth Agee: Peter Ford, James Ford, Judith Ford, Mary
Ford. (This record sent to this compiler by Miss Josephine Dupuy, member of
Huguenot Society Founders of Manakin Town; from Ford Family Bible; Ayers Family
Bible; Huguenot records.)
PIERRE FAURE, SR.
Pierre Faure, Sr., his wife Elizabeth, and a son, Jean sailed on yet first ship,
la Nasseau and landed at James Town March 5, 1701. Pierre Faure and family
settled in the Manakin Town. His coat of arms show that he was from the Faure
family of Auvergne, France.

In the Vestry Book of King William Parish 1710-1738, translated from the French,
we find Pierre paying tithes only on himself until 1713 when he paid on his
oldest son, John, who was born in 1697.
In 1717 he pays tithe on Daniel, born 1701.
In 1723 he pays tithe on Peter, born 1706.
In 1724 he pays tithe on James, born 1708.
Pierre Faure and wife Elizabeth had two daughters:
Mary, who married William Fuqua.
Judith, who married John Leake.

The Virginia Law, … The Assembly expressly exempted all women from payment of
tithes, except slaves or servants over 16 years of age who were capable of doing
work in the field. All men of whatever rank or station over 16 years of age were
regarded as tithable, only the Clergy and members of the Council being exempt.
The tithe was 10 shillings and one half pence.

Pierre Faure, Sr., was a member of the Vestry of the French Refugee Church from
1731 to 1744, when he asked his discharge which was granted.

Sept. 30, 1732 The Vestry assembled, present were Estine Chastin, Gile Allaigr,
Pierre Faure, Pierre Loouys Soblet, Guileaume Salle, and Jean Jaque Dupin.

The Surr’s Pierre Faure and Andre Amonet took the oath of Church Wardens in the
presence of the Vestry named above. (Virginia Magazine of History & Biography
volume 11,12,13).

The sight of this first church is in Manakin Town, Powhatan County, Virginia
south of the James River. The fourth church now stands near the sight of this
first church.

Peter Fuare was naturalized May 12, 1705 (Legislative Journals Volume 1
p.421-8).

In the old tax record of Buckingham County, Virginia how in the Virginia State
Library, Richmond, Virginia, in District #2, is found the names of Joseph Ford,
William Ford. These are carried on the tax book as of Prince Edward County, Va.,
thereafter spelled Fore.

In 1814 is found the name of Stephen Fore, in District #2, and Peter Fore lives
at Stephen Fore’s Residence. These were the sons of Pierre Faure the second, and
this proves that the sons of Pierre Faure, the emigrant, come down through his
two sons, Peter, born in Henrico County, Virginia in 1706 and James (Jaque) born
in Henrico County, Virginia 1708.

________. She was the daugher of Jean Pierre Bondurant and wife Anne, also
French Huguenots. Jean Pierre Bondurant arrived in Virginia on the “Peter and
Anthony”, ye 20th of Sept’r 1700.” Jean Pierre Bondurant married Anne after he
arrived in America as the ships list does not show that he had a wife at that
time. He was a prominent planter and large land owner of Henrico County. He was
a member of the Vestry of King William Parish in 1731-32 and elected again
November 23, 1734.

(King William Parish Resigter)

When the name is recorded by a member of the Huguenot Colony it is always
spelled in the French Faure.

When Goochland County was formed from Henrico County in 1727 the Faures’ found
themselves in this new County. By this time the name began to be anglicized and
recorded as Ford. When this part of Goochland County was cut off to form
Cumberland County, Virginia in 1748, the Fords’ were then in Cumberland County.

James Ford, Sr. had sold his home place in King William Parish, Cumberland (now
Powhatan) County in 1751 to Thomas Prosser and by his deed to his daughter Mary
Agee was “of King William Parish, Cumberland County in 1751. Between December
17, 1751 and February 28, 1761 James Faure, Ford moves up the James River to his
grant of 1600 acres in Albemmarle County, Virginia, Tilletson Parish. Then
Tilletson Parish, Albemarle County, Virginia was cut off to form Buckingham
County, Virginia in 1761, James Ford and his family were living in this new
county without having changed their residence; where they lived until some of
them began to move westward.

James Ford and his family settled on his grant of 1600 acres while his children
acquired other land besides this. The Buckingham County Court Hose was burned
soon after the Civil War about 1869 and all records in it at that time were
destroyed. A Surveyor “plat Book” has been found since of which there is a
photostat copy in the present Court House. In this is found the record of some
surveys made for different members of the Ford family; one of the surveys of 72
acres of land the grant for which had been made for James Ford, Jr. His son
James Ford at this time (1814) designated as James Jr. fell heir to it either by
a deed or gift or sale.

Old tax books of Buckingham County, Virginia are now in the Virginia State
Library, Richmond, Virginia. These run for over a period of several years “The
Land Roll” Book beginning with 1782. Another Book designated as “Personal Tax
Book”; there are three lists, 1782 to 1789; 1790 to 1797; 1798 to 1805. These
books are divided into two districts; District #1 and District #2. In District
#1 we find the family of James Ford, Sr., along with his three sons, Peter,
Boaz, and James, Jr.

On the first tax list 1782 “Land Roll” of Buckingham County, Virginia now in the
Virginia State Library we find: James Ford, Sr. (now 74 years old) paying taxes
on 100 acres of land’ Peter Ford on 505 acres; Boaz Ford on 400 acres; James
Ford, Jr. on 400 acres. These amounts vary from time to time except James Ford,
Jr. who pays on 400 acres until the time of his death in 1787.

After 1793 James Ford, Sr., appears on the tax list as exempt. This was perhaps
on account of his extreme old age and afflication.

FRENCH AND INDIAN WARD 1754
In the Journals of the House of Burgesses of Virginia 1770-1772 p.31, we find
the following: Tuesday the 29th of May to Goerge III 1770, A petition of James
Ford was presented to the house and read; “setting forth, that the petitioner
being in the service of the Colony, at the Battle of the Meadows in the year
1754, received a wound in his right eye, by a musket ball which deprived him of
the sight thereof and that he is growing old, and become weak and therefore
praying the House to take his condition into consideration and grant relief.

Ordered, that the said petition be referred to the consideration of the
Committee of Public Claims; and that they do examine the matter thereof, and
report the same, with their opinion thereupon to the House.”

Page 49, Wed. the 6th of June to George III 1770. Resolved, that it is of the
opinion of this Committee, that the Petition of James Ford, late soldier in the
service of the Colony, under the command of Col. Washington, is reasonable; and
that he ought to be allowed the sum of five pounds for his present relief; and
the future sum of five pounds per annum during his life in consideration of the
wound he received at the Battle of the Meadows and his being thereby rendered
incapable of getting as necessary substance.

AGEE (Des Ages) MATHEW AGEE


(Original French
Coat of Arms)

Mathieu Agee, or Age, is the progenitor of all the Agee family in America. He
was born in France in 1660, and died in Virginia 1741. He was of the Des Ages of
the old Bishopric of Saint Malo, in or near Nantes, France, who were of noble
birth. On account of their espousal of the cause of the Huguenots, their claim
to nobility was abrogated and their lands confiscated in 1688, as were the
titles and lands of many Huguenots and other non-conformists. Mathieu Agee’s
fathers name was Anthony Des Ages, born 1639.

Tghere is a well founded, and we believe true, tradition, which has been handed
down from generation to generation, which states that Mathieu Agee left France
in 1688, going to Holland where he, with some two thousand Huguenots, attached
himself to William of Orange and was a part of the expedition to England, where
William dethroned the then Catholic K

Notes:

This was found online. I am adding it in attempt to clarify the Joshua's in our Agee line.

The Agee Register is completely wrong about this line of Agees. I'm a direct dicendant of Joshua Hawks Agee and have spent several years trying to clear this up. Joshua Hawks Agee first moved to Wilkes Co. Ga in 1795 and was give two draws for land by the state. His son, Humphrey E. Agee. Sr was over 21 and single and received one draw of land. Agter a while Joshua moved to lincoln Co. Ga. His wife died there and I supposed is buried there. Then Joshua moved back to wilkes Co. and died. He is buried in the Washington,Wiles Co. Cemetary in apauper's grave with no marker. I spent monthes trring to locate the grave but to no avail. The other joshua Agee that people get confused with the first Joshua Hawks Agee is his greatgrandson. In 1861 he left Wilkes Co. and followed the Wiregrass Trail down to what is now Lowndes and Clinch Co. right on the Ga/Fl. line. The William Washington that was mentioned is the son of the second joshua agee.

Joshua Hawks dtr Nancy Wynn
This is not an attempt to set forth the entire Wynne-Wynn-Winn Genealogy, as there have been many volumes written on the subject, but only to recreate my connection to this lineage. First of all, it is appropriate to note my lineage up to the point where the Winn line enters my direct lineage. It is as follows:

I am the third child and only daughter of Marvin Benjamin Brand and Hazel Alene Standridge, born September 21, 1937 in Farwell, Parmer Co. TX.

Marvin Benjamin Brand, born 2 Feb 1912, in Alvarado, Johnson County, Texas, died 26 May 1995 in Lodi, California, was the fourth child of Nathan Jesse Brand and Ollie Neona Lloyd.

Nathan Jesse Brand, born 20 Nov 1882 in Cherokee County, Georgia, died 29 Aug 1961 in Clovis, New Mexico, was the fifth child born to Robert Mathis Cleveland Brand (RMC) and Melissa Jane Moore.

Robert M. C. Brand (RMC), born 3 March 1843 in Cherokee County, GA, died 25 February 1933 in Grandview, Johnson County, Texas and was the sixth child born to Jonas Brand and his second wife Harriet Winn. This is where the Winn line enters the Brand line.

Harriet Winn had many brothers and sisters, to name only a few: George Washington Winn, William Booker Wynn, Clemmon Quillian Wynn, Mary Melissa Wynn Trewhitt (wife of Judge Trewhitt in Hamilton County, Tennessee), Elmyra Wynn Fincher and about a dozen more I do not have information on.

Harriet Winn was born on 18 November 1810 in Burke County, North Carolina. She died 21 June 1877 in Cherokee County, Georgia and is buried in Shiloh Methodist Cemetery in Walton County, Georgia near the small town of Loganville, Georgia. She gave birth to twelve children, they were 1) Isaiah Brand, 2) Jeremiah D. "Doc" Brand, 3) Joseph N. Brand, 4) Jonas Washington "Wash" Brand, 5) Nancy Amanda Brand, 6) Robert Mathis Cleveland Brand, 7) Nathan Hamilton Brand, 8) John Goodman Brand, 9) Sarah Harriet Brand, 10) Rebecca A. Brand, 11) Margaret Jane Brand, 12) Pricilla Ann Brand.

Harriet Winn’s father was Thomas Marion Wynn also known as Thomas Wynn Jr. By all estimates he was born between 1775 and 1785. Thomas Marion Wynn married Nancy Agee in Wilkes County, Georgia in 1806. The Agee line is the French Connection to the family and well-documented (see "The Agee Register"), also the well known Bonduarant line back to the Huguenots enters the Agee Line. Nancy Agee was the daughter of Joshua Agee and Sarah Ann Bonduarant. Joshua Agee was born 4 Jan 1757 in Buckingham County, Virginia and died December 1837 in Wilkes County, Georgia. Sarah Ann Bonduarant died in 1835 and was the daughter of Peter and Amy Bonduarant. Joshua Agee was the son of Anthony Agee and Christian Worley (see below for more on her line). Anthony Agee was born about 1719 in Manakin, Goochland County, Virginia and died about 1800. Anthony Agee and Christian Worley married 1 May 1751 in Cumberland County, Virginia. Anthony Agee was the son of Mathieu Agee and Ann Gandovin [or Godwin]. Ann was the daughter of Isaac and Ann Gandovin [or Godwin]. Mathieu Agee was the son of Anthony Agee and Judith Chastain. Anthony was born in 1650 in Nantes, LaRochelle, France and Judith was born about 1650 near Nantes, LaRochelle, France. Christian Worley, wife of Anthony Agee was born in 1727 in Manakin, Goochland County, Virginia and died in 1815 in Buckingham County Virginia. She was the daughter of John Worley and Esther Blount. John was born in Virginia, died in Cumberland County, Virginia, the son of Edward and Mary Worley. Esther was born 17 Mar 1703 and died in Virginia, the daughter of John Blount (born 17 Oct 1670 in Virginia) and Elizabeth Davis.

There is no record of Thomas Marion Wynn’s death. In fact, as the family story goes, he owned a gold mine in north Georgia, and one Saturday morning he left home to go to the assay office to sell some of the (or all of the) gold he had, and was never heard from again. The family thought he was killed for the gold, as Cherokee County at the time was almost a wilderness, but the body was never found. There was even some speculation that he took the gold and just "went over the mountain" to start a new family. This seems highly unlikely as he was 70 years of age or better at the time. The story may have some validity because Wyndell Taylor is in possession of a map of Cherokee County, Georgia that was made 12 years after his Great-Great-Great Grandfather George Washington Wynn left Cherokee County, Georgia for Cherokee County, Alabama. On this map, at the location of the 3.5 land lots that George Washington Wynn sold prior to his leaving is listed the "Old Dupree Mine".

Harriet’s Grandfather was Thomas Wynn Sr. from Wilkes County, Georgia, who married Mary Echols. Thomas Wynn St. was the son of Major Joshua Wynne.

Major Joshua Wynne, Harriet’s Great Grandfather, was the youngest son of Colonel Robert Wynne. Joshua was born in Charles City, Virginia in 1660. He was married to Mary Jones, daughter of Captain Peter Jones and wife Margaret (Wood) Jones, daughter of the eminent Major General Abraham Wood, head of Virginia’s fur trade under Royal Governor Sir William Berkley. Joshua was overseer of the Berkley plantation during Bacon’s Rebellion, was a member of the Governor’s Council, and a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses. After building Fort Henry in 1646, he and three other Virginians, two servants and a guide explored what someday would become Tennessee and Kentucky, and being the first Englishmen to set foot there. After this, Joshua lived in Prince George County, Virginia. On 29 March 1715 Major Joshua Wynne was shot and killed by Saponey Indians because one of Joshua’s servants had killed one of the Indian’s "great" men. Upon trial of the Indian, they pleaded that the Wynne’s were the aggressors and that they never rest without revenge. The Indians said that they and the Wynne’s were then equal, each having lost a great man. To avoid more bloodshed the Indian was pardoned. Joshua was an Indian interpreter and was said to be a fearless adventurer. He was a Justice in Charles City County, Virginia as well as Sheriff of Prince George County, Virginia.

Colonel Robert Wynne, Joshua’s father, was the ancestor of all the Marion County, Tennessee Wynne’s. Robert Wynne was born on 28 December 1622 in Canterbury, County Kent, England. He migrated to the Virginia Colony in 1655. He was married in 1657 to Mary Frances (Sloman) Poythress by whom he had four children. Colonel Robert Wynne was speaker of the House of Burgesses and served longer than any man in Virginia’s history, from 13 March 1661 to 1675. Robert died on 8 October 1675. His will, dated 1 July 1675 and proved 15 August 1678 at Jordan

S Parish or Charles City (now Prince George County) shows and estate in Canterbury, England of two houses and a farm, in addition to his 600-acre Virginia estate south of the James River.

Peter Wynne, Colonel Robert Wynne’s father, was born on 25 November 1593 in County Kent, England. He was married 8 Dec 1620 to Martha Coppin who was born 1 June 1595 in England. Martha was the granddaughter of John Coppin, born in 1530 and a member of British Parliament 20 May 1581 and his wife Mary Denne. The Denne family is descended from the Vikings who invaded Normandy and who settled part of France then moved north to England, Scotland and Wales. Peter Wynne and Martha Coppin had two children: 1) Col. Robert Wynne, and 2) Sarah Wynne. Peter was freed from apprenticeship in 1626. Peter Wynne died on 30 May 1638 in Canterbury, County Kent, England.

Peter Wynne’s father was Robert Wynne, born 1558 in Salop (now known as Shrewbury) England. He was a woolendraper. As a young man he was apprenticed to John Rose and was released from his indenture in 1590. By 1599 he was shown as Mayor of Canterbury, England. He and his wife Francis died of the Plague within 2 days of each other. Robert died 6 Oct 1609, and is buried at St. George’s Parish in Canterbury. Peter Wynne’s mother was Frances Wattmer, born in 1594 and died 8 Oct 1609 in Canterbury, County Kent, England. Francis was the daughter of William Wattmer (born 1535) and Johanna Hatch. William Wattmer was the son of William Watmoughe (1510-?) and Margaretta Sparkes. Francis’ father William Wattmer took the Wynne children to a house outside the city and procured a nurse for them. It was William who raised the children. Robert Wynne and Francis Wattmer had the following children:

1) Thomas Wynne, born 1580 in Canterbury, was freed from apprenticeship in 1612. He married his 1st wife Mary Wickham 20 Jul 1613 at Ospringe, England, and had one child. He married his 2nd wife Ann (?) Nichols, widow on 26 Oct 1629.

2) Peter Wynne, born 25 Nov 1593 in Canterbury, England, died 30 May 1638 and is buried at St. George’s Parish, Canterbury, England. Their children were Robert and Sarah Wynne.

3) Daughter, married Paul May.

4) Anne Wynne, married Roger Pey. They had at least two children.

Attached to the end of this short Wynne-Wynn-Winn Genealogy is a copy of a hand written letter sent to me by my fourth Cousin Wyndell Taylor of Powder Springs, Georgia, on January 17, 1998. It was written by a Mr. Edward C. Fox on October 24, 1915. Mr. Fox was president of the United Secret Association of Detectives, incorporated under the state Laws of Ohio, with an office at that time at 128 Clarence Building, 612 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Fox was investigating heirs to "Estates and Property" of the Wynn family in the United States. This letter, though difficult to read, is reproduced below:

Sir John Wynne. Baronet of Gwgdir [Glyndwr], born in 1553; died March 1, 1627. He succeeded to his father’s Estate in Wales in 1580; and in 1611 he was created a Baronet, in 1586 he was made a member of Parliament. And in 1606 he was made a Knight. He founded a Hospital, , a school.

This ancient family can trace their pedigree in a straight male line through Roderick [Rhodri], Lord of Anglesay, son of Owain Gwgnedd [Gynedd], Prince of North Wales to Onaswd ( ?) King of North Wales, eldest son of Roderick [Rhodri Mawr], the great King of Wales. The latter succeeded to the principality of power and the Kingdom of Gwnedd, and South Wales. He was killed in 876.

Our own great good Christian King Llwelyn [Llywelyn], the great King of Wales was slain December 11, 1282 near Bueth South Wales. His cousin King Edward I succeeded to the throne after Edward’s soldiers had killed Llwelyn [Llywelyn] in battle. Hence we see the foundation of the great English Nation was founded by our own people.

If the throne had not have been confiscated by the other side of the house, I dare say that today the Wynne People would stand at the throne of England in the form of a King or Queen.

I might say that even our present King George the V is distantly related, but the family branches off before reaching the House of Wynnes of Gwgdir[Glyndwr]. So they would not be in our family heirs to share in any of the Wynn Estates.

Yours very truely

Edward C. Fox

Note: The wife of Edward C. Fox was a Wynne…hence his interest in the vast fortune left up for grabs in Wales. Reportedly worth $500,000,000 in 1915!

Some additional information is necessary to understand the source of this Wynn history. As mentioned above, my Great-Great Grandmother was Harriet Winn, and her brother was George Washington Winn. This same George Washington Winn that enlisted in the Confederate Army with RMC. George Washington Winn Married Nancy Jane Kirk, whose brothers George W. Kirk and William A. Kirk also appear on the muster roll of Company B, 34th Regiment Gerogia Volunteer Infantry. Zacharaiah David Brand, RMC’s half brother who also fought in the 34th Georgia Regiment signed the pension application on Nancy Jane Kirk’s behalf, as did John McRae another future relative.

Marcressa Cicero Wynn was the son on George Washington Winn and Nancy Jane Kirk. Marcressa married Sarah Elizabeth Mangum and had a son named Dilmus Jacob Wynn who married Nancy Elizabeth Underwood. Dilmus Jacob Wynn and Nancy Elizabeth Underwood had a daughter named Elsie Pearl Wynn who married Thomas Willard Taylor. The son of Thomas Willard Taylor and Elsie Pearl Wynn is my 4th cousin Wyndell Othella Taylor and the source of this Wynn history.

Road Map

I like to think of genealogy as a road map to the identity of my ancestors, and on all road maps, you will quickly notice many roads entering and exiting the main road, highway or freeway. Genealogically speaking, the main road or freeway would be my direct lineage, and with each prior (or successive) generation, you will encounter a different branch or road leading off in a new direction. I offer the reader a chance now to view this particular genealogy from a new perspective, a side road if you will, as any adventure off the main road tends to be more interesting than traveling the freeway.

Now that the reader is familiar with the direct lineage to my Great Great Grandmother Harriet Winn, and her father Thomas Marion Wynn, and his father Thomas Wynn Sr., and his father Major Joshua Wynne, and his father Colonel Robert Wynne, let’s examine a side branch purely for the fun and adventure of it.

Mary Wynne (1650-1707), daughter of Colonel Robert Wynne and the sister of Major Joshua Wynne, married John Woodliffe III

John Woodliffe III (1650-1772) was Pastor in Prince George County, Virginia in 1689. He was the son of Captain John Woodliffe II

Captain John Woofliffe II (1614-1676) was Burgess of Charles City, Virginia in 1652. He was taken to court in 1658, charged with assault on a Mr. Anthony Wyatt. In 1661, he commanded the county Regiment as a Captain. In 1664, he was again taken to court for getting his servant Ann Berrey "with Child" and was ordered to pay a fine. He went with John Lanier to ask Governor Berkley for permission to attack the Indians. Permission was refused so the two men took Nathaniel Bacon as their leader and went anyway. He died during Bacon’s Rebellion. His father was:

Captain John Woofliffe (1584-1637) was born at Peterly Manor, in Prestwood, England. He attended Oxford University and married Mary Archard on 1 May 1609 at Stevenson, Buckinghamshire, England. He came to the Virginia Colony in 1608 and was a member of the London Company (2nd Charter 1609). Evidently he returned to England, where he signed an agreement on 4 Sep 1619 to settle an 8,000 acre plantation in Virginia to be known as Berkley Hundred. He was to act as Captain and Governor. He sailed on 15 Sep 1619 aboard the "Margaret" (47 Tons) with 38 settlers. Already in Virginia were his wife and two children and 4 servants. His commission as Captain and Governor was revoked on 28 Aug 1620 because of a lack of quick profits and was replaced by George Thorpe. Thus he was not present on Easter 1622 when the Indians attacked and killed all the settlers. His father was:

Drewe Woodliffe (1562-1627) was the sixth child born to Robert Woofliffe and Ann Drury.

Anne Drury was the daughter of Sir Robert Drury and Elizabeth Brudenell. Elizabeth Brudenell was the daughter of Edmund Brudenell, Esq. Besides their daughter, Anne, Sir Robert Drury and Elizabeth had two sons, they were:

1) Sir William Drury, who was Lord Justice governor of Ireland in 1576 and who married Margaret, daughter of Thomas Lord Wentworth, and

2) Sir Drue of Lynsted, Usher of the Privy Chamber to Queen Elizabeth and keeper of Mary, Queen of Scots and who married 1st wife Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Phillip Calthorpe and Amata Boleyn (aunt of Queen Ann Boleyn) and who married 2nd wife Catherine, daughter of William Finch of Lynsted. Sir Robert Drury’s father was:

Sir Robert Drury Sr. (1463-1536) was a Privy Councilor to King Henry VII and Speaker of the House of Commons in 1498. He was born at Hawsted, Suffolk, England and was a Knight. He married Ann Calthrope in 1483.

Ann Calthorpe was the daughter of Sir William Calthorpe and Elizabeth Stapeleton.

Elizabeth Stapleton (1442-1505) was the daughter of Sir Miles Stapleton and Catherine de la Pole.

Catherine de la Pole was the daughter of Sir Thomas de la Pole and Ann Cheney.

Sir Thomas de la Pole was the son of Michael de la Pole (1361-1410) and Lady Katherine Stafford.

Lady Katherine Stafford was the daughter of Sir Hugh Stafford and Lady Phillipa Beauchamp.

Sir Hugh Stafford was the son of Sir Ralph de Stafford and Lady Margaret de Audley.

Lady Margaret de Audley was the daughter of Hugh de Audley and Lady Margaret de Clare.

Lady Margaret de Clare was the daughter of Gilbert de Clare (The Red), 9th Earl of Clare, 7th Earl of Hertford, and 3rd Earl of Cloucester and his second wife Joan D’Acre (Plantagenet).

Joan D’Acre (Plantagenet) was born 1271 in Nazareth, Galilee, died 1305, was the daughter of King Edward I and Princess Eleanor of Castile. Princess Eleanor accompanied her husband on the 7th Crusade to the Holy Land and was the only child of Ferdinand III of Castile. King Edward I had another child, Edward II, the first "Prince of Wales" and ancestor of Queen Elizabeth II.

King Edward I (Plantagenet) was born 17 Jun 1239 in Westminister. He was crowned on 18 Aug 1274 and was the son of King Henry III and Eleanor Berenger. He reigned for 35 years.

King Henry III (1207-1272) was the son of King John and Isabella, daughter of Aymar Tallifer, Count of Angouleme. He reigned for 56 years.

King John (born 1133) was the son of Matilda (Maud) and Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou, son of Fulco V. He reigned as King of England 1154-1189.

Maud (1104-1167) was the daughter of King Henry I and Matilda (also Maud), daughter of Malcolm III, King of Scotland and granddaughter of Henry II, King of Hungary.

King Henry I (born 1068) was the son of King William I (William the Conquerer) and Matildis of Flanders, daughter of Baldwin V and granddaughter of Robert II, King of France.

King William I (William the Conquerer) (born 1020) was the duke of Normandy and King of England 1066-1087. William conquered the Saxons of England at the battle of Hastings on 14 Oct 1066. He reigned for 21 years.

So, you must admit, this little side trip was more interesting than staying on our Genealogical highway. Here are some other facts uncovered about other siblings of Joshua Wynne and their descendents"

The Wynne line branches many, many times, and the branch at Major Joshua Wynne is of historical interest and deserves mention. One of Joshua Wynne’s sons was Thomas Wynne Sr., this was my line as indicated above, however the youngest son of Joshua Wynne was Colonel William Wynne, also known as William Wynne I, born in 1699. He moved to Danville, Virginia in 1752, along with several others at the instigation of the English Crown to help halt French expansion eastward from the Mississippi Valley. He was a great land owner, close to 90,000 acres. Colonel William Wynne was a surveyor, a vestryman and possessed a large library. He was married to Frances Reed who was also born in 1699 and died between 1778 and 1790. Colonel William Wynne made his will on 8 October 1777, and died in 1778. His will was proved 26 March 1778 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia.

William Wynne Jr., also known as William Wynne II was the son of Colonel William Wynne. William Jr. was born 10 August 1729 and moved to Pittsylvania County, Virginia with his father. He married Mary Cynthia Harmon of North Carolina in 1752 and had eleven children. Mary Cynthia Harmon was born in 1735 and died in July 1776 in Tazewell County, Virginia. He married his second wife Fillis Marrs and had sixteen children by her.
