Birth: 1 February 1692, New Kent County, Virginia, British North America

Death: BEF 21 February 1780, probably on or about 1 December 1779, Goochland County, Virginia
Father: Robert NAPIER (1658, New Kent County, Virginia, British North America - AFT May 1748, Goochland County, Virginia, British North America)
Mother: *Mary PERRIN (1671/75, New Kent or Henrico County, Virginia, British North America - AFT 3 April 1718, New Kent or Henrico County, Virginia, British North America)
Marriage: ABT 1713
Spouse: Sarah UKNOWN (? - AFT 20 January 1767, Goochland County, Virginia, British North America)

Child 6: Booth NAPIER (Jr.) (christening 1723, Henrico County, Virginia - 22 April 1770, Goochland County, Virginia) [M]: m. Christian(a) TERRIL NORVEL (BEF 1749 - ?), , Virginia, British North America, 10 October 1765

Child 9: Frances NAPIER (ABT 1730, , Virginia - ?) [F]
Child 10: Elizabeth NAPIER (ABT 1732, , Virginia - ?) [F]
Note 1: Most investigators seem inclined to identify the spouse of Booth NAPIER either as Sarah LaForce or as Sarah Garland. Sarah LaForce, the daughter of Rene LaForce (the planter-physician of Huguenot extraction for whom Rene NAPIER is likely to have been named), was married to William Hardain (Harding) in Goochland County, Virginia, 7 November 1748. And Her marriage to William Hardain (Harding) is clearly indicated by the Will (dated 16 December 1756 and proven 18 July 1757, in Goochland County, Virginia) of her mother, also called Sarah. Of this Will, William Hardain was the executor. By William Hardain (Harding), Sarah LaForce engendered Giles Harding (15 June 1749, Goochland County, Virginia - 1810, Davidson County, Tennessee) [M], William Harding (1750, Goochland County, Virginia - 1797, Surry County, North Carolina) [M], Rene Harding (15 February 1753, Goochland County, Virginia - BEF 1766, Virginia) [M], Thomas Harding (3 October 1755, Goochland County, Virginia - 1805, Tennessee) [M]. If Sarah Laforce had first been the wife of Booth NAPIER then, since menopause usually occurs by the age of 55, she must have been no more than 12 years of age on the occasion of her first marriage. This is possible in abstracto but historically unlikely. The Will of Rene LaForce, dated 16 August 1728 and proved in 1728 (recorded in Book 1, pp. 37-38, 1728-1734, Goochland County, Virginia), names his daughter, Sarah La Force; and the Will of Sarah LaForce Harding was proven 23 March 1797 in Goochland County, Virginia. Alternatively, if Sarah Garland may be identified with the Sarah Elizabeth Garland (born at Pamunkey River, St Peter's Parish, New Kent County, Virginia) who was the daughter of Edward Garland, then her marriage to Thomas Wingfield must be explained away. Of Sarah Elizabeth Garland's children who can be definitely dated, the following may be noted: John Wingfield (20 July 1723, Hanover County [separated from New Kent County in 1720], Virginia - 3 February 1793, Wilkes County, Georgia) [M], Frances Wingfield (30 December 1736, Hanover County, Virginia - 20 November 1802, Wilkes County, Georgia) [F], and Susannah Wingfield (19 September 1741, Hanover County, Virginia - 1827, Fredrickstown, Washington County, Virginia) [F]. It is, therefore, reasonably supposed that Sarah Elizabeth Garland was married to Thomas Wingfield about 1720. Accordingly, in the present state of evidence, the surname - but certainly not the given name - of the wife of Booth NAPIER is indeterminate.
Note 2: The register of St. James Northam Parish, Goochland County, Virginia, British North America reports that, on 19 October 1765, Will Parsons NAPIER was born to Booth NAPIER (Jr.) and Christian TERRIL whose, surname, in secondary sources, is sometimes given as NORVEL. See "Register of St. James Northam Parish, Goochland County, Virginia," William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, Vol. 15, No. 2. (October 1906), pp. 113-123.
Note 3: The funeral sermon of Booth NAPIER (Jr.) was preached 23 April 1770 at St. James Northam Parish, Goochland County, Virginia, British North America. See "Register of St. James Northam Parish, Goochland County, Virginia," William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, Vol. 15, No. 4. (April 1907), pp. 249-255.
Note 3: Patrick NAPIER, in 1744, was deputy Sheriff in Albemarle County, Virginia. He was also a vestryman in St. Anne's Parish. The children of Patrick NAPIER and Martha CLAIBORNE were: Thomas NAPIER (ABT 1736, Virginia - 1804, Columbia County, Georgia), Patrick NAPIER, Richard NAPIER, Rene NAPIER, Joseph Fox NAPIER, Mary Perrin NAPIER, Elizabeth Claiborne NAPIER, and Anne Fox NAPIER. In the given names of Mary Perrin and Elizabeth Claiborne NAPIER, compelling reason is found by which to include the deputy Sheriff of Albemarle County in this family-group.

(ABT 1634 - AFT 26 February 1668 and BEF 12 April 1669)
(http://gennotes.150m.com/napier.html)


G0499A: Robert NAPIER (Sr.), Captain [009]
Birth: BEF 2 May 1660, Hampton Parish, New Kent County, Virginia, British North America
Christening: 2 May 1660, Hampton Parish, York County, Virginia, British North America
Death: AFT May 1743, York County, Virginia, British North America
Father: Patrick NAPIER, Chirurgeon (ABT 1634, , England - AFT 26 February 1668 and BEF 12 April 1669, Queen's Creek, York County, Virginia, British North America)
Mother: *Elizabeth BOOTH (15 November 1641, , Virginia, British North America - 1672, York County, Virginia, British North America)
Marriage: 11 October 1688, New Kent County, Virginia, British North America
Spouse: *Mary PERRIN (1671/75, New Kent or Henrico County, Virginia, British North America - AFT 3 April 1718, New Kent or Henrico County, Virginia, British North America)

Note 1: Robert NAPIER (Sr.) was a landed proprietor in New Kent, King and Queen, King William, Henrico, and Goochland counties, Virginia. His principal crop was tobacco. From1690 through 1701, he received nearly 1300 acres for his importation of settlers. In the records of old King William County, Virginia, reference is made to him as "Captain," indicating that he was an officer in the colonial militia. See John Boddie, "Napier of Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi" in Southern Historical Families, vol 15, pp. 221-225.
Note 2: Concerning Robert NAPIER (Sr.) in Henrico County, Virginia, Records: 1688-89 (p. 74), the following is recorded: "Captain Soane had made an agreement to run his horse against one belonging to Mr. Littleberry Epes, which was backed by Mr. Robert NAPIER 10 lb a side. Mr. NAPIER did not produce the horse at the appointed time and the suit was for the amount of the stake, as an agreement had been made that the horse which did not appear should forfeit the whole amount." It is also recorded that Robert NAPIER (Sr.)'s wife Mary (PERRIN) once took him to court to prevent him from gambling away their children's patrimony and to ensure that he would spend a percentage of his income solely to support his family. In view of these two cases at law, it may be worth noting that Robert NAPIER (Sr.) was - by profession - an attorney and that, in his church in Hampton Parish, he held the office of vestryman.
Note 3: Mary PERRIN (sometimes spelled "PARIN") was the daughter of Richard PERRIN and his wife, Katherine ROYALL Katherine ROYALL's father, Joseph ROYALL, was among the earliest settlers of Virginia, having arrived in the "Charitie" in July 1622; and, in the following year, he was listed at the Neck of Land in Charles City. (Hotten, ORIGINAL LISTS, p. 169).
Note 4: Benjamin WOODSON was the son of John WOODSON (1655, Curles, Henrico County, Virginia - Will proven1 May 1700, Virginia) and Mary TUCKER, who were married in 1677. Mary TUCKER was the daughter of Samuel TUCKER and Jane LARCOMBE. Mary Tucker WOODSON's Will is dated 1710. The WOODSONs were Quakers.
Note 5: In May 1743, Robert NAPIER (Jr.) was sued for separation by his wife on the grounds of abuse. His Will is dated 9 December 1755 and was proven 12 May 1763. His wife, Mary Tarleton HUGHES, was the daughter of Jesse HUGHES and Sarah TARLETON, of Henrico County, Virginia. Robert NAPIER was a planter in Henrico, Goochland, and Albemarle counties, Virginia. He is thought to have inherited his father's plantation in a Will dated 1744, which has not been found. He is known to have received at least two royal grants of 300 acres in Goochland County, in1734 and 1735, by which time he had apparently moved inland, to the James River valley. In Goochland County, he deeded a negro girl to his wife on Jan 5, 1743; and he deeded a negro boy named Will to his daughter, Frances. He moved again to Albemarle County, Virginia, where he wrote his Will dated 9 December 1755.
Note 6: A Rene and a Patrick NAPIER are sometimes named as siblings belonging to this family-group. The reason for placing them in this family-group seems to be an unlikely tradition sustained in the family PERRIN. Rene and Patrick NAPIER, in fact, belong to the immediately succeeding generation of this line of the family NAPIER.

Notes:

From Deborah Shelton Wood (3-17-2006):
There exists an Historical Marker near Colonial Williamsburg, VA, marking the place Patrick NAPIER lived. This marker reads "Patrick NAPIER Colonial Surgeon. Nearby lived "Patrick Napier of Queens Creek in the County of Yorke chirurgeon," Born about 1634, and apprenticed to the surgeon general of the Scottish army defeated by Cromwell in 1650. Patrick Napier arrived here before 1655. He married Elizabeth, a daughter of Robert Booth, clerk of the York County Court and a member of the Howse of Burgesses. By horse and boat, Napier attended the sick, performed surgery, bled his patients, and despensed various remedied consistent with the pratice of medicine in the mid-17th century. He died in 1669. He was the progenitor of most of the Napiers in America.
Emigrated to Virginia 25 Mar 1655 with other defeated Scottish Royalists after the Battle of Dunbar .
American Napiers came to these shores, to York Co., Virginia in about 1651. He was Patrick Napier, "Chirurgeon" or physician, a son of the Patrick Napier, "Gent", who had been barber-surgeon to the Martyr King Charles I, and was a cadet of the ancient house of Napier of Kilmahew. The father may well have been the "one Napier" that Parliamentary spies had reported tried to free the imprisoned Charles from Carisbrooke Castle, Isle of Wight in 1648.
Alternate data suggest parents of Patrick Napier to be Robert Napier of Edinburgh, son of Sir John Napier of Merchiston who married Lady Elizabeth Monteith. Sir John, eighth laird of Merchiston eldest son of Sir Archibald Napier and Janet Bothwell. Sir John, well known as inventor of logarithms .
The first known documented reference to a Napier in Scotland is in two charters of Malcolm, Earl of Lennox, who lived at the end of the 13th century. This was John Napier, who was granted, by one of the charters, - "all that quarter lands called Kilmahew lying between Muydugwen and Archerreran."The ruins of Kilmahew Castle still stand on the north side of the present village of Cardross, which is four miles from Dumbarton. Kilmahew takes its name from St Mahew (or Mochta), a companion of St Patrick, who has been adopted as the patron saint of Cardross.There were 18 Lairds of Kilmahew until the last heir sold the last of the estate in 1820.
Early Virginia Immigrants; 1623-1666
Napier, Patrick, 1655, by Peter Ford, Gloucester Co.VA


......The immigrant Dr. Patrick Napier, progenitor of this family in America, came to Gloucester Co., in 1654 or 1655. (One Peter Ford, received 500 acres at Cacamount, Gloucester County, Virginia, 25 Mar 1655 for transporting ten persons to the colony, among whom Patrick Napier is listed.) Both he and his father-in-law, Dr. Robert Booth were among the few physicians in colonial Virginia. Lived in Hampton Parrish, York County and had a 1500 acre plantation in BlislanParish , New Kent County, Va. will dtd 21 Feb 1668; filed 12 Apr 1669 in York County, Va.

Thanks very much. I have an Elizabeth Booth, b. 1641, daughter of Robert Booth who married Patrick Napier, a descendant of John Napier, inventor of logarithms and the decimal point. A descendant of this union married a Wright, the family of my grandmother, Julia Wright.

Thanks again and good hunting. Sincerely Reid Presson


Nicholas Presson

Notes - Apparently spelled name Pressey until abt 1707 when it appears that the family changed to "Presson". This is borne out by early records - Register of Charles Parish 16909 where Nicholas was listed as the father of a daughter, perhaps Elizabeth whose birth is recorded in Charles County Records, 1648 - 1789 as Elizabeth Pressey, daugheter of Nicholas and Jane Pressey, 1/11/1690.

Jane was his 1st wife, Elizabeth the 2nd The best guess is that Nick was born at least by 1670 and died on 4/4/1732, Charles Parish.

He married Jane by abt 1689 who died11/3/1699 as recorded in the Register although the Register lists the birth of Mary in 1700 and Thomas in 1703 as children of Nicholas and Jane.

He married Elizabeth that same year who lived at least until 1719 when her last child Daniel was born.

Robert Presson Son of Nicholas and Elizabeth, born abt 1714 In Charles Parish (births and deaths for 1714-1715 were lost by the Vestry Clerk) and died in 1757 ; in July of that year, the court speaks of him as deceased although the Register lists his death on 11/1/1757.

He married probably Frances Tomer, daughter of Jon and Mary Tomer. There is no verification of this marriage (records do not exist in this early period. The naming of a son "Tomer" and the continued use of this unusual name in later generations strongly indicate she was a Tomer and the daughter of John Tomer, Jr. and his wife, Mary born 11/1/1713, died 5/13/1757 all in Charles Parish and recorded in the Register.

Tomer Presson Son of Pobert and Frances, born in Charles Parish on 7/23/1750 and died in Surry Co in 1750. He married Elizabeth who was living in 1807 and died by 1809 in Surry.

His son James' will was unwitnessed and when brought for probate, William Cornwell (perhaps his brother-in -law) and Thomas Presson swore to the court that the handwriting was that of Tomer and that he (James) had written and signed the will.

Daughter Mary was living when Tomer made his will in 1801 and is possibly rthe Mary Presson who married William Cornwell in Surry Co. in 1808.

Sincerely Reid Presson

I will do so and send it on. The info that I have comes from "The Presson Family in the South" published by subscription in 1974. Sponsored by W. H. O' Bryan, researched by Mary Lee Martin Owens. Long out of print; a copy was recently offered on eBay and promptly snatched up. I am an engineer by training and was introduced to Napier via the slide rule which he also invented or at least contributed to mightily. See attached for a short bio Sincerely Reid Presson

I just now looked at the Mary Cornwall segment of the tree you sent. I can give dates and citations to most named if you need them. I also found a reference to Rev. Beverly Booth who joined Mary's brother Daniel to Sarah Howard with Wyatt Lane as bondsman. The source is "Knorr, Surry Co. VA, Marriage Bonds, p 112". The same source at p23 is given for the marriage of Mary Presson and William Cornw(e)ll in Surry Co on 8/20/1808. I have not seen the source document and thus cannot verify the spelling difference (or misspelling as the case may be). Sincerely Reid Presson

JOHN NAPIER ( 1550 - 1617 ) PHILOSOPHER and MATHEMATICIAN INVENTOR of LOGARITHMS INVENTOR of the DECIMAL POINT ________________________________________ John Napier was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1550 and died in 1677. He was twice married, firstly to Elizabeth ? with one son, and secondly iin 1572 to Agnes Chisolm with 5 sons and 5 daughters. He is buried in St, Cuthbert's Churchyard in Edinburgh. Napier was involved in research that required lengthy and time consuming calculations of very large numbers. Once the idea came to him that there might be a better and simpler way to perform large number calculations, Napier focused on the issue and spent twenty years perfecting his idea. The result of this work is what we now call logarithms. Napier is relatively little known outside mathematical circles where he made what is undoubtedly one of the single greatest advances in the history of mathematics. He can be placed within a short lineage of mathematical thinkers, beginning with Archimedes in ancient times and by Newton and Einstein in modern times. Without Napier 's work on logarithms it is difficult to imagine how Kepler and Newton could have made their great advances in later times. His work, Mirifici Logarithmorum Canonis Descriptio, contained thirty-seven pages of explanatory matter and ninety pages of tables, which facilitated the furtherment of astronomy, dynamics and physics. Napier realized that all numbers can be expressed in what is now called exponential form, meaning 8 can be written as 23, 16 as 24 and so on. What make logarithms so useful is the fact that the operations of multiplication and division are reduced to simple addition and subtraction. When very large numbers are expressed as a logarithm, multiplication becomes the addition of exponents.

Example: 102 times 105 can be calculated as 10 2+5 or 107. This is easier than 100 times 100,000. Napier was also a great advocate of the decimal fraction system invented by Stevinus in 1585. Indeed, it appears that Napier introduced the decimal point into common usage and eliminated the use of notation to indicate fractional position.

Note 1: It seems that Patrick NAPIER, as an aspiring chirurgeon, was apprenticed, in Edinburgh, on 6 May 1649 to Alexander Pennycuik, chirurgeon. Pennycuik was surgeon to Sir Alexander Leslie's Scottish Troops who were defeated at the Battle of Dunbar by the army of Oliver Cromwell. And it seems that Patrick NAPIER emigrated to Virginia with other Scottish Royalists after the year 1650. He settled in Queen's Creek, Hampton Parish, York County, Virginia, as a planter and surgeon. On 25 March 1655, Peter Ford received 500 acres at Cacamount, Gloucester County, Virginia, for transporting ten persons to the colony, among whom Patrick NAPIER is listed. Patrick NAPIER became the proprietor of a 1500 acre plantation in Blisland Parish, New Kent County, Virginia. This plantation adjoined that of Major-General Mainwaring Hammond.
