Notes:

The Winstone / Winston Family of Willington Court Sandhurst, Gloucestershire, England

The first existant parish register of Sandhurst, Gloucestershire, England is a beautiful little book - very small in size compared to others of its day. The first page opens with "Heare followeth the Regester booke of Sandhurst, conteynyng the names of everye such person I have Baptized, Marryed or buryed sence the fforth day of
the Ano Kkg Henrici our ... (edge of page missing) Ano domi 1537 in the year of their Baptising, Marrying and Buriall, in hereafter followeth. " The beginning "H" is illuminated with cartoon-like whimsical faces of two men and a barking dog with swirls of flowers and vines.

It was in this register that the marriage of "Thomas Hurte of Bristoll and Martha Winstone, marr the xxixth october" was recorded in 1599. Looking back in the register 19 years earlier, we find that Martha Winstone was the daughter of James Winstone, gent. of Willington Court. Apparently Thomas Hurte, son of Ralfe Hurt, a successful merchant, guild member and civic officer of Bristol, had cause to reside at Willington Court for the next seven years. We find that his first two children, Phillip Hurtt and Radulph Hurte were baptised at the parish church in Sandhurst. Randulph was also buried there at the age of one month. The following year, the young family had returned to Bristol, where their third son, Roger and fourth son Thomas were baptised at the Church of St. John the Baptist.

Martha Winstone's family had purchased the Willington Court and several parcels of surrounding property in 1514 from the Wroth family, heirs to the Willington family which ended with the childless John de Willington who died in the year "20 Ric II" or 1397. Willington Court originally gained it's name from one Ralph de Willington who became the owner in 1218 during the reign of King Henry III. The Winstone family held the house, lands and a cottage, paying 12 pence in rent to the Crown. [History of Gloucestershire, Abstracts and Manuscripts respecting the County of Gloucester, Thomas D. Fosbrooke, Vol. 1, pgs. 288-292, FHL# 896620]

It is thought by some historians of Gloucestershire that it was the Painswick branch of the Winstone/Winston family that made the purchase, but the exact land transfer document has not been located at this time.

On 23 Nov 1573, the marriage of James Winstone and Gwenllyan (no surname given) was recorded in the Sandhurst register as follows: "James Winstone and Gwenllyan were married the xxiiith daye of November". We next find the baptism on the 27th September 1574 for Mary Winstone, daughter of James Winstone, gent. followed by her burial on th 5th of August 1576. The following year, son Gyles was baptised 7 July 1577 and recorded at Sandhurst. Martha, christened on 10 Nov 1580 apparently completed the family.

The next document of interest is found in the Gloucestershire Inquisitions Post Mortem [Harlean Society Publications, Vol. 9 pgs 66-67, FHL# 962742]. An inquisition post mortem was a legal document werein a landholding family basically filed a lawsuit against themselves in order to clear the title to their lands following the death of the head of family. The inquisition p.m .reads as follows:

James Winstone, gentleman
" Inquisition taken at Gloucester, 2nd September, 9 James I [1611] before John Browne, esq., escheator, after the death of James Winston, Gentleman, by the oath of William Singleton, Abel Angell, William Wilshere, Edward Kiste, Thomas Hill, Henry Mercer, Richard Portman, William Nutte, William Tirrye, Richard Slaughter and William Milton, who say that James Wintson was seised of one capital messuage called Willington's Courte, in Sandhurste, with the appurtenances, and 60 acres of land, 40 acres of meadow, 120 acres of pasture, and 4 acres of wood, with appurtenances in Sandhurst. So seised, the said James Winston, by indenture dated 29th November 30 Elizabeth [1587], and made between himself of the first part, Philip Williams, esq., of the second part, and Thomas Spenseley of the third part, in consideration of his love towards Gwelthian, his wife, Gyles Winston, his son, and Martha Winston, his daughter, agreed with the said Philip and Thomas that he should stand seised of the said tenements to the use of himself and the said Gwelthian for life; after their decease, to the use of the said Giles Winston and his heirs; for default to the use of the heirs male of the said James Winston; for default, to the use of the said Martha and her heirs; and lastly, for default, to the use of the right heirs of the said James Winston. By virtue whereof, and by force of the Statute of Uses, the said James Winston and Gwelthian were seised of the premises as of freehold.

James Winston was likewise seised of one messuage, 5 acres of land, 3 acres of meadow, and 6 acres of pasture, with appurtenances in Sandhurst commonly called Risbies.

All the tenements aforesaid are held of the King as of his manor of Barton Regis, near Gloucester, by fealty only in free socage and the rent of -----. The tenements mentioned in the said indenture are worth per annum, clear, 12 pounds, and the tenements called Risbies are worth per annum, clear, 20 shillings.

James Winston died 4th February, 30 Elizabeth [1588]; Giles Winston as his son and next heir, and was then aged 9 years, 7 months and 25 days; he has taken the issues and profits of the tenements called Risbies from that time until now.

The said Gwelthian still survives at Sandhurste; she has taken the issues and profits of all the tenements first mentioned from the death of the said James Winston until now.

Note: This Inquisition was delivered into Court 11th October, 3 Charles I [1627]. Inq. p.m.3 charles I, No. 131."

It is interesting to note that a considerable length of time had passed since the death of James Winston before this document was written, let alone filed with the court. By the time it was filed, Gwenllyan/Gwelthian had also died and Gyles had returned to Sandhurst to take charge of the property. Turning again to the little Sandhurst
register, we find the burial for "Welthian Hurburt, buried 23 october 1615". Keeping in mind that exact, standardized spelling is a 19th century phenomenon, we can fairly well surmise that Gwenllyan / Gwelthian / Welthian, aka Gwenllyan Herbert was not too long out of Wales. No second marriage has been located for her, and it is highly possible that she followed the Welsh custom of keeping her maiden name.

A marriage for a Gyles Winstone has been located at Much Cowarne, Herefordshire, England to Penelope Walwin, daughter of Nicholas Walwin and Isabell Buryhill on 16 Oct 1600. They had a daughter, Elizabeth, christened 7 Sep 1601 at that same place. Further record of him between the birth of Elizabeth and the time he returned to Willington Court in 1615 has not been ascertained, but we know he had a son and heir, Phillip Winston, born in 1602, who assumed the ownership
following Gyles's death 6 Sep 1662. There is also a Richard Winston who appears in the records of Sandhurst with two marriages and a number of children who may have been a younger son of Gyles.

There is a Gyles Winston who appears for a time at Wheatenhurst near Bristol, who may be this Gyles. A (second?) marriage for him appears in the St. Philip and St. Jacob Church in Bristol on 12 Apr 1613 to Alice Bezaker. He served as church warden at Wheatenhurst and was called a yeoman. E.G.F. Routledge in his handwritten compilation "Winstoneana, 1559-1802" [FHL# 1363778 item 13, pg. 115] gives and interesting insight that may explain what Gyles was doing during this
time. Husbandmen were usually younger sons and sons of younger sons actually working on the land of their parents. A yeoman assumed the supervision of an estate and lending a hand at harvest time and was usually paid in land or produce, but may have been a wage-earner. A gent. was the senior line of a county family and served as a yeoman prior to retirement to a messuage, when he assumed the higher status and title. Gyles was styled a "gent." when he returned to Willington Court.

It has also been noted that there were Winston family connections in the parish of St. Philip and St. Jacob and in the Barton Regis section of Bristol. No connections between James Winstone and other branches of the family have been made at this time and research continues.

Phillip Winston, son of Gyles, married a Joane. He died without heirs and left a will naming several of his cousins, including William Hurte. Mrs. Joane Winston, widow, remarried 15 Oct 1677,to John Guise, Esqr. of Ablode, an estate a short distance southwest of Willington Court. John Gise was buried 16 Jun 1648 at Sandhurst from Gloucester. Around that time, widow Joane "alienated" the Sandhurst properties to the Viney family [ Harlean Mss. # 5013].

One final note on the Sandhurst Winston family: In the Bristol and Gloucester Archeological Society Publication, Vol 28, Transactions for the Year 1905, pg. 496-497. there is a description of the unusual coat-of-arms used by the family. "Sandhurst. A curious blazon: 'per pale gu. and az. 1 a lion ramp. arg. in the dexter paw a rose. . . 2 a tree eradicated vert,' 1672. [Rudder, 650: 'Sa. a lion ramp. arg.
holding in the dexter paw a rose of the second..' This is given in Armories, but not in Papworth. It is possible that it might be a quartered coat of "Sa. a lion ramp. arg." the third quartering of Winston., viz Teithwalch; but I think it is a daubed coat of Winston with a copy of Master. Philip Winston, aged 70 of Willington's Court;
and below Gyles Winston, 1662 aged 85." ( The article then goes on to try and make Gyles out as the son of Sir Henry Winston of Painswick. We know better.) There may be quite a few clues here that will help us determine further family connections.

Family/Spouse: Thomas Hurt. Thomas (son of Thomas Hurt, Sr and Alice Mallard) was born in 1569 in Bristol, Gloucestershire, England; died on 20 Oct 1665 in All Saints, Bristol, Gloucester, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

William Hurt, Senior.
It is highly probable that he was the same William Hurt as the William Hurt who was one of 25 immigrants brought over from England to the Virginia Colony in 1650 by Stephen HamIin and the same as the William Hurt who patented 213 acres of land in St. Stephen's Parish in New Kent County, Virginia in 1673/4. King William County was a part of New Kent County then. King and Queen County was cut off of New Kent County in 1691 and King William County was cut off of King and Queen County in 1702. William Hurt was a very young man when he came to Virginia in1650 and was probably not yet 21 years of age at that time. Record No. 217 on page 33 states that John Hurt (son of William Hurt Sr.) was living in St. Stephens Parish in King and Queen County, Va. on November12,
1691. This proves that the 213 acres of land in St. Stephens Parish in New Kent County, patented by William Hurt in 1673/4 was in the same vicinity as
where William Hurt Senior was living in 1701. St. Stephen's Parish was in that part of New Kent County that was cut off of New Kent County in 1691 (but
before November 12, 1691) and made into the new County of King and Queen.




William Hurt, designated in many records as William Hurt, Sr. was the son of Thomas Hurt of Bristol and his wife, Martha Winstone. He was christened 23 Jul 1614
at All Saints parish, one of the original seventeen parishes of the City of Bristol. [LDS Family History Library microfilm # 1596655].

In the 1619 Visitation of Kent [Harlean Society Publication XLII, pg. 31] with information provided by his paternal uncle William Hurt, a mercer who had residences
in Dover and in London, William Hurt, Sr. appears to have been a very young child at the time of that recording. Similar information is given in Berry's County
Genealogies of Kent [FHL # 973300, pg. 101], except that both the children of Thomas Hurt of Bristol and the children of William Hurt of Dover (by two different
wives) have been all been lumped together as children of William of Dover.

The 1634 Visitation of London [Harlean Society Publication XV, pg. 406] shows that the information was again supplied by Uncle William, now residing in the
Bishopsgate Ward area of London. None of Thomas's living children were shown to be married at that time. His younger daughter, Alice, married the following year
at St. John Hackney, London. William was the fifth child born in a family of twelve. Three are known to have died in infancy, and three more deceased before the age
of 25. Only children currently known to be living were listed by Uncle William in these visitations.

[It is interesting that William Hurt, mercer of Bishopsgate Ward, London and Dover, Kent chose to use the coat-of-arms originally granted by patent 4 Sept. 1565 to
3rd cousin Thomas Hurt of Ashbourne, Derbyshire (b. abt 1494), but his father and brother in Gloucestershire did not.]

No apprenticeship records have been found for William or his sibilings in the Bristol Apprentice Books, suggesting that they were either trained by their own father
in the family mercantile trade, as were approximately two-thirds of the young people of that day - or - they were apprenticed elsewhere.

There seems to be a general consensus among researchers that the William Hurt who was transported to Charles City Co., VA in 1650 by Mr. Stephen Hamelin [Early
Virginia Immigrants 1623-1666 by George Cabell Greep, Clerk, VA State Land Office - FHL fiche # 6051246 pg. 172] and [Virginia Land Book 2 pg. 266} is our
immigrant ancestor. Others with the Hurt surname being transported in that time period included an Edward Hurt in 1650 by Mr. James Williamson - county not given
and Thomas Hurt, who arrived in 1653, courtesy of Nicholas Meriwether, Northumberland Co., VA, who may have been the brother of William (Thomas chr. 17 Sep
1615, All Saints parish, Bristol, England) Neither Edward or Thomas left any record of descendants in Virginia and may have either moved or not survived. George
Magruder Battey III, in his 1947 monograph, "Notes Mostly Concerning Hurts in Tidewater Virginia" proposes that this Thomas is the one who moved to North
Carolina.

Calculating an approximate date of marriage at age twenty-five, William would probably have married around 1639 somewhere in England. His marriage record has
not yet been located. That being considered, he may have had five or so children born prior to immigrating in 1650. His current family group record, as proposed by
Oscar Hurt's research [The Early Hurt Family of Virginia, Oscar H. Hurt, FHL# 854152 item 4 pg. 5] shows three children, all born in Virginia after 1654:
Isabella Hurt, b. 26 Apr 1654, King William Co., VA - md. Philip Pendleton in 1682
John Hurt b. abt. 1655, St. Stephen's Parish, King William Co., VA d. 9 Feb 1724, King William Co., VA md. abt 1679 Sarah Webber, or more likely, Sarah
Yarbrough abt. 1679
William Hurt, Jr. b. abt. 1657, King William Co. VA d. after 1702.

On 18 Feb. 1673/4 the following was recorded in Virginia Land Book 6, pg 502:
"To all ye, whereas...etc... Now know ye that I, the said Wm Berkely, Knt. Governr doe the Consent of the Councill of State accordingly give and grant unto William
Hurt two Hundred and thirteen acres of Land Lying in St. Stephen's Parish in New Kent County, beginning at a white oke corner of Pecks land thence running NE by N
42 poles to a red oake thence E SE 1/2 S jog poles to a red oke thence E NE 63 poles to a red oke upon the side of a hill, thence S 200 poles to a red oke upon the
side of another hill then west 89 poles to a red oke by the mill path, then W NW 100 poles to a Spanish oke by a branch, then N 141 poles to a hicory then N NE 10
poles to where it began. The said land is due unto the said Wm Hurt by and for the transportation of 3 persons etc. To have and to hold or to be held or yielding or
paying on provision dated the 18th Feb. 1673/4.
Names of the Transported: Thos. Brownell & wife; Lambo, a Negroe" (This land was northwest of the present day Aylett, VA and approximately 28 miles NE of
Richmond, VA.)

By 1701, our William had attached the title, Senr. after his name. "To all ... Whereas...Now know you that of the said Francis Nicholson, Esq. Govornd etc. do with if
and advice and consent of the Coundil of the State accordingly give and grant unto William Hurt, Senr. two hundred ninety and eight acres of land lying in Pamunkey
being bounded as followeth, viz: Beginning at a Corner Hiccory called Peter White's corner hiccory hard by Richard Yarbrough's plantation and running thence
southwest by south four hund: forty pole to a corner red oake, thence northwest sixty nine poles to a corner Hiccory, thence north north-east three hundred seventy six
pole to a Corner hiccory, thence east one hundred and four pole, thence East by southe forty-one ople through a meadow all along by John Hurt's and Richard
Yarbrough's plantations, thence east half a point north sixteen pole, thence south-west twenty-one pole to the beginning place, the said land being due unto the said
William Hurt by and for the transportation of six persons into this colony whose names are to be in the records mentioned under this patent. To have & hold & to be
held & Yielding & paying & provided & Given under my hand and ye seale of ye Colony this 24th day of October, anno Domini 1701.

fr. Nicholson


Names of the six persons transported into the Colony:
William Hurt, Senr., Margt. Hurt, Edward Freeland, Herbert Benahan, Duksell Brown and Eliza Lea." [Virginia Land Book 9, pg. 384]

It is from this record that it has been assumed that the wife of William Hurt, Sr. was Margaret. At one time it was thought that he had returned to England to marry a
second time, bringing her back with him. It is more probable that he never made that trip, but rather padded his headright list with his and his wife's names, and none
of the officials caught it. He needed six headrights in order to obtain the piece of land he wanted next to his son, John's property. He had four legal headrights, and
made up the balance with the two additional.

In Ralph Whitelaw's History of Northampton and Accomack Counties concerning these early land grants, states "In spite of the precautions presumably taken, there
was much padding of headright lists and a number of names are duplicated in separate patents to different people for different lands. Among the headrights listed in a
certificate by the Accomak Commissioners in 1672 to Edmund Scarburgh III, was included "his owne transportation three tymes'".

By now, New Kent Co. had been divided forming King and Queen Co. in 1691, and was again divided in 1702 to form King William Co. Each time, the Hurt
properties had been in the newly formed county. William Hurt, Sr. was on the Virginia Quit Rent Rolls for King William Co., VA for 250 acres of land in Oct. 1704.
[Virginia Historical Magazine, Vol. 32, pg. 71] The last reference we have of him was made by his grandson, James Hurt, in a 1722 deed fragment which is very
difficult to read, as it was "toasted" in the 1885 fire which burned the King William Co. courthouse and has crumbled, with large chunks missing. There is mention of
74 1/2 acres, being one-fourth of the 298 acres previously mentioned, which were willed to him by his grandfather. This indicates that William Hurt, Sr. wrote a will,
but it is no longer available. One would assume that it burned in 1885 along with many other documents. From these fragments, and other indicators, it has been
estimated that William Sr. was deceased by Nov. 1704.[Moore_from ancestry_09262007.FTW]

Notes:

Moza Hurt moved from Caroline County, Va. to the part of Bedford County, Va. that was created from Bedford County and made into Campbell County in 1781. This move was before July 1768. He moved across the Staunton River into Halifax County, Va. between 1780 and 1782 and died there in 1793.

His will dated 12-15-1791, probated on 1-28-1793 and recorded in Halifax County, Va. in Will Book 3, page 35, names seven children, all by his first wife, Mary.

Moza Hurt (also known as Moses) was born in 1730 probably in or near Bedford County, Virginia. A number of records exist pertaining to his life. His land deeds, marriage records, and will, as well as records of his children?s marriages, are all preserved. He held substantial amounts of land in three counties: Bedford, Halifax, and Caroline, and he bought and sold land all his life. He acquired land on the Rappahannock River, where he lived in St. Margaret's Parish in Caroline County. He was appointed Constable there in 1752. From 1755 to 1758 he was road-overseer. He married a young lady named Mary (last name unknown) by 1758. They had seven children: Philemon, born 1758; Jane, Betty, Sarah Ellen, born by 1763; James, born 1763; and twins Patience and Prudence, born by 1774. In 1763, at the urging of his wife, Moza gave some slaves to his then four children: Philemon, Jane, Bettey, and Sarah. Why he did this, and why young children needed slaves of their own, is unknown. In 1776, the family moved to Bedford County (cut from Lunenburg County in 1753) where they bought 284 acres of land.
The Hurts fought with the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. It doesn't look like Moza fought, but he did supply aid to the Continental Army. The Bedford County Lists of publick claims filed by citizens lists Moza Hurt being returned provisions that had been collected in 1781 by Christopher Irvine. A Moses Hurt was recorded as having supplied 1 beef, 9 diets, 4 pecks corn. A Mosses Hurt supplied 2 diets and 2 pecks of corn. In 1782, a new county, Campbell, was cut from Bedford County, where the Hurts had been living. Sometime by 1782, Moza's wife, Mary, died, and he moved to Halifax County (cut from Lunenburg County in 1752), not necessarily in that order. Three and one half months before his second marriage, Moza persuaded his children to file a disclaimer to the slaves given them by Deed of Gift about 1763 in Caroline County. He then married Phebe Vaden, daughter of William Vaden and Frances Wilson, on April 10, 1782. She was the widow of Robert Mann who had died of smallpox.

The 1782 Heads of Households Census from Halifax County, Virginia, lists Moza Hurt with fourteen whites and nineteen blacks in the household.

The 1785 Heads of Families Census from Halifax County, Virginia, lists Moza Hurt with eight whites, one dwelling, and eight other buildings.

Moza died 1793 in Halifax County. His sons, James and Philemon, were the executors of his will. Phebe died two years later in 1795. His will read:
Sons Philemon and James, Executors.
To my son James Hurt, land whereon he now lives in Campbell County Virginia 617 acres
To my daughters: Patience and Prudence Hurt
To my married daughters: Sarah, wife of Michael Prewett, Jane, deceased wife of John Adams (?my poor daughter Jane, already departed this life?)...whereas: by the tender indulgence and earnest importunity of my wife in the year 1763, I believe, I made a deed of gift of sundry of my negroes to my then four children, namely, Jane, Betty, Philemon and Sarah Hurt, which is recorded at Campbell Court House, and whereas some years ago I loaned John Adams and Jane his wife, my daughter, a negro, and to Michael Prewett and Billy his wife, a negro girl--I give to those who have had the greatest trouble raising the negro children should have their preference in their choices.
I appoint my son Philemon and my son James as my sole executors -Witnesses: William Mann, Stitts Harrison, Robert Mann, Polly Mann

Children of Moza and Mary Hurt
James Hurt was born in 1763 in Caroline or Campbell County. He married his stepsister, Agnes Mann Harrison, daughter of Robert and Phebe Mann, and widow of Peterson Harrison, on June 10, 1782. He died in Campbell County in 1819.

Jane died by January 5, 1782, before Moza, married John Adams.

Elizabeth (Betty) and Sarah apparently were not taught to write because they did not sign their names on official documents, but simply made their marks.

Betty married Michael Prewitt, Jr.

Sarah Ellen married Byrd Prewitt. Her father signed his consent in February, 1782.

Patience married Samuel Hubbard in 1791. I don?t have any info on Prudence. Since Patience married in 1791, and had to be at least 17 years old to do so, she must have been born by 1774.

Philemon was born on October 6, 1758 in Caroline County, Virginia.
