Elizabeth Slaughter (Underwood)
Added by bkperry_1 on 10 Jan 2008
Elizabeth Underwood married first Dr. James Taylor. He certainly was not a kind or faithful husband to her so that she felt compelled to appeal to the Governor and Council for a separation in order that she could return to the house of her mother. The details are such that it would have been impossible for her to have remained with him without being killed or maimed. Before the matter was finally settled the husband obligingly deported this life according to the first record book of Surry County, Recorded 26 March 1654. Her daughter
Elizabeth had married John Catlett who was styled son in law.

1 May 1655, the estate account of Mr. James Taylor returned among other items is where Mr. Slaughter was paid one third of the estate in right of his wife (This is apparently the Francis Slaughter shown as her first husband as follows: Elizabeth Underwood married first Francis Slaughter; then John Catlett, Sr. per The Family Register of Nicholas Taliaferro with notes by William Buckner McGroarty, William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, Volume 1 Second Series, July 1921, Volume 3 posted on Rootsweb.com archives, Note 5. On 6 November 1655, Francis Slaughter for and in consideration of two cowes with calves and 2000 pounds of tobacco to be paid the 10th of October next and 1000 pounds more to be paid the 10th of 8ber 1657 by Thomas Culmer of Surrey Countye Chyrurgion all claim (in right of his wife) unto the house and plantation where he now lives. It seems that they removed to Rappahannock River soon after settling this property but he died not long survive the removal since hi will was recorded on page 83 of the volume containing records from 1656 to 1664 but the date is mutilated. It was before Mrs. Margaret Upton married Capt. Thomas Lucas as he bequeathed to his mother-in-law Mrs. Margaret Upon 10 shilling to buy a pair of gloves. To brother-in-law Coll More. Fantleroy a book entitled Hookers Eclestical policy. To Andre Dew his overseer as much broadcloth as will make him a suite.

Witnesses Thomas Hawkins, Ant. Stephens. This deed of gift is recorded in volume 1656-84, page 34, Rappahannock County apparently just before she was going to marry her third husband John Catlett. She had married him by 17 January 1664 when she made a power of attorney to her weloved kinsman Mr. Thomas Hawkins to acknowledge her consent to sale of land from her husband John Catlett to James Yeats (1656-64, page 408, Rappahannock County). Colonel John Catlett survived for some years and is said to have been killed while defending a fort at Port Royal against Indians. They had four children, John Catlett; Elizabeth Catlett; William Catlett and Sarah Catlett who are mentioned in the will of their mother.

On 20 April 1672 there was recorded a marriage agreement between Amory Butler of Rappahannock County, Clerk and Mrs. Elizabeth (Underwood) Catlett which was dated May 1671 in which the said Mr. Butler was to relinquish all right which might accrue to him by the said marriage now in her possession as administrator of her late husbland Colonel John Catlett deceased or any right in her dower. Her children now in England. Trustees were Major William Pierce of Westmoreland County and Mr. Edward Rowzee. Witnesses: Anthony Bridges and John Rosier (Vol 1672-76, page 19)

This much married lady did not long survive her fourth matrimonial venture as her will was entered for probate 7 May 1673 just two years from the date of her marriage agreement. She bequeathed to her son Francis Slaughter furniture in her chamber, the furniture and other things given her by her mother when he is nineteen years of age; to her daughter Elizabeth Catlett bed and furniture in the dining room, her largest diamond ring, necklace with the biggest pearl and some other things; To her daughter Sarah Catlett two stone rings, small pearl necklace, weding ring, etc. To sons John and William Catlett, the books mentioned in their father's will.

V. Margaret UNDERWOOD , born before 1640, died after 1663; married in 1660, Humphrey BOOTH Sr., born before 1636 in (of) London, England, died before 1690.

Mr. Daniel Gaines overseers of my will-to brother Booth's children, several cattle-to beloved husband Amory Butler, a bed, furniture and a mourning ring."
There was a suit in the General Court, May, 1673, between Amory Butler and Capt. Thomas Hawkins, .. a kinsman of Col. John Catlett," as to which should have charge of the children and estate. It was adjudged that Butler have charge of the estate and Mr. Daniel Gaines of the children. Rev. Amory Butler was brother of Rev. Wm. Butler, of Westmoreland county.

II. Sarah, second daughter of Capt. John Upton, was doubtless the " Sister Peirce" named in Mrs. Butler's will. Wm. Peirce was a justice of "Westmoreland in 1668, as Major William Peirce was first in the Commission of the peace for Westmoreland, Nov. 5, 1677. There is a deed, dated Oct., 1668, from Major William Peirce to George Bruce, and acknowledged by Peirce's wife Sarah. The will of Col. William Peirce was proved in Westmoreland, March 25, 1702. Legatees: Pierce Gower and Stanley Gower, 310 acres being the land their father lived on, grandson Samuel Bayley, grandson \\Vm. Peirce (son of John Peirce, deceased), wife. Daughters: Elizabeth Bridges, Margaret Graham and Mary Rowsey.

It seems probable, from various records, that Mrs. Margaret Upton had been previously married to _____Underwood, and that by him she had several children. As has been stated, Wm. Underwood is named in the will of Capt. Upton. In 1650 Wm. Underwood, gentleman, had a grant of land on the north side of the Rappahannock; among the headrights were Wm. Underwood, himself, four twins to Virginia; Mary his wife and Wm. Underwood his son. Wm. Underwood was Burgess for Lancaster, Nov., 1652, and justice of Rappahannock 1656. There was recorded in Rappahannock county a deed Nov. 2, 1657, from Capt. Wm. Underwood, of Rappahannock (with the consent of Mary, his wife), conveying to Richard Loes and Rice Jones, gentleman, both of Rappahannock county, a tract of 650 acres on north side Rappahannock river. There is recorded in Lancaster a power of attorney from Henry Mountfort,
of Rotterdam, merchant, to William Moosle [Moseley] "merchant in ye Virginias," to receive certain payments from Mr. Wm. Underwood, dwelling in Virginia, dated Aug. 12, 1649, recorded in Lancaster, Oct. 1653. Mr. Wm. Underwood was a justice of Lancaster, 1652, and on Dec. II, 1656, was appointed one of the justices, and of the quorum of Rappahannock county at its formation. There is also in Lancaster a power of attorney, from Simon Overzhe, of Linhaven, Va., merchant, to Mr. Wm. Underwood.

married Humphrey Booth. There is a marriage contract between Humphrey Booth, of the county of Lancaster, merchant. of the one part. and James Williamson and Wm. Underwood, of Lancaster, gentlemen, of the second part, the said Booth intending to marry Margaret Underwood, sister of said Captain Wm. l:nderwood, conveying 700 acres on Rappahannock river, in Lancaster. which land was lately conveyed to him (Booth) by Mrs. Margaret Upton, widow, and mother of the said Margaret Underwood. There is recorded in Lancaster a power of attorney, dated Dec'r 5th. 1653, to Humphrey Booth, of London, merchant, who was about to go to Virginia. Humphrey Booth was appointed one
of the justices of Rappahannock county at its organization, December 11th. 1656. There is on record a power of attorney from Wm. Walthall. of Henrico. merchant, to Humphrey Booth, of Rappahannock. merchant, dated July 26th. 1656; also a power of attorney, 1659, from Mary, wife of Wm. Underwood.
There is a deed, August loth, 1663, from Humphrey Booth and Margaret, his wife. There are on record deeds of gift from Mrs. Margaret Lucas to her grandchildren, Grace and Catherine Booth. One of these daughters married Robert Brooke.

It is probable that another sister of Capt. Wm. Underwood, Mary, married Capt. Thomas Hawkins, and still another daughter married James Williamson. Captain Underwood is spoken of as .. uncle" of
Williamson's daughters. who married, respectively, Wm. Ball and John Rosier.

It appears from a deed, that in 1675, Elizabeth. widow of Major Wm. Underwood (who must have married a second time), was the wife of Archdale Combe, of Rappahannock county. From a pedigree and wills in the New Eng/and Historical and Genealogical Register, 1889, pp. 158-160, it appears that Thomas Archdale. citizen and draper. of London, whose pedigree is given in the Visitation, of London, 1633-'4. and whose will was proved in 16II, had a daughter. Margaret, who married John Combe. of London. merchant, and had a son. Archdale Comb. named in his grandfather's will.


Margaret, married Capt. Humphrey Booth, gave a P. of A., August 24, 1660, to "my well beloved Brother, Coll. More Fantleroy".
Sarah, married Col. Wk. Peirce of Westmoreland County, who took out in his own name a patent for 5054 acres of lands and afterwards transferred it, in 1680, to M.F.'s son, William.
Anne, married James Williamson. We do not know the relationship, but William Williamson of Lancaster, in his will in 1670, left a legacy to M. F.'s three children, William, Elizabeth & Moore, which was afterwards given to them by Col. Wm. Lloyd, their step-father.
Capt. Wm. Underwood, son of Mrs. Margaret Underwood, in 1652 gave a cow to M.F.'s daughter Elizabeth, stating that he and his wife were witnesses as to his baptism.
These gentlemen, Wm. Underwood, Francis Slaughter, Humphrey Booth, Wm. Peirce, and James Williamson, were all Justices, and some of them Burgesses. Voting together they exercised a great deal of authority in both county and state. They all patented land on the same day, May 22, 1650, on the north bank of the Rappahannock, extending for 25 miles, counting in the smaller tracts in between taken up by others. Moore Fauntleroy also patented a tract of land for his "mother-in-law" making use of his own headrights. This is believed to refer to Mrs. Margaret Underwood.

Facts About Moore Fauntleroy
Added by JBCooper on 1 Nov 2008
Moore, known as the Younger, was born in 1610. The Younger's father was John Fauntleroy and his mother was Phoebe Wilkinson. His paternal grandparents were William Fauntleroy and Frances; his maternal grandparents were John Wilkinson and Susana. He was an only child. He died at the age of 53 in 1663.
     General Notes
     "There has been some confusion about these two brothers, but it is now known that there were two sons named Moore. This is proved by the will of Nicholas Moore who adopted Phoebe Wilkinson, and in 1617 left all his property to her during her life, and after her death to 'Moore Fauntleroy, eldest son of John and Phoebe Fauntleroy, and in default to Moore Fauntleroy, the younger son of the said John and Phoebe Fauntleroy'. The two Moores may have been twins, but all we can be certain of is that they were born between 1610 and 1617, they not being listed in the parish register with the other children."
    
     "Col. Moore Fauntleroy was probably actuated by a spirit of adventure and a desire to amass a forture when he either followed or accompanied Col. Toby Smith to Virginia in 1643. He brought his brother George Fauntleroy with him, but nothing further is known of him. He also brought with him a confirmation of his coat of arms which had been issued to him in England in 1633, a copy of which is given elsewhere in this book. On Feb. 20, 1643-4, Col. Moore Fauntleroy patented 250 acres of land in Upper Norfolk County (now Nansemond Co.) on Chuckatuck Sound, and this, his first home in Virginia, was called "Royes Rest". On the same day he patented 1400 acres on Mt. Lawson Bay, near Beverley Creek in the western part of Nansemond County adjoining Haye's plantation in Isle of Wight County."
    
     Campbell's History of Virginia,1859, page 210: Quote:
     During the year 1648 Beauchamp Plantagenet, a Royalist with a high flown name, flying from the fury of the grand rebellion, visited America in behalf of a company of adventurers in quest of a place of settlement, and in the course of his explorations came to Virginia. At Newport News he was hospitably entertained by Capt. Matthews, Mr. Fauntleroy, and others, finding free quarter everywhere.
    
     In 1650 Col. Moore Fauntleroy patented 350 acres on the south side of the Rappahannock River in what was then Lancaster County. He later assigned this land to Col. Toby Smith. In the same year he patented, 5350 acres on the north side of the Rappahannock in Lancaster County (now Richmond Co.) on both sides of Farnham Creek. This was called the "Farnham Grant". He later patented 450 acres on the north side of Swann Bay, which he subsequently relinquished. He also patented 1800 acres on the north side of the Rappahannock and west side of Bushwood Creek, next to the land of William Underwood. This tract was called "Mangorite", and was adjacent to the modern bridge which crosses the river here to the town of Tappathannock. In addition he patented 700 acres on the north side of the Rappahannock west of New Haven Creek, which he later relinquished.
    
     In the early days of the Virginia Colony a grant of 50 acres was allowed for each person transported, and this was called a "headright". It is a on record that Col. Moore Fauntleroy transported 179 persons. Their names are listed in his patents, many of them were people of prominence. Most of the patents are signed by Sir William Berkeley, who was then the Royal Governor of Virginia. Col. Fauntleroy was an owner or part owner of ships, as in 1653 we have it recorded that he lost a sloop.
    
     We do not know the exact spot in the Northern Neck where Col. Fauntleroy made his home. However, we can be pretty sure that he lived near Farnham Creek on a portion of his Farnham Grant, later moving to a spot on Mangorite Creek, known as the "stone house field", now, a part of the Sabine Hall plantation. He was constantly engaged in acquiring and selling lands, and probably moved on up the river as the English settlement advanced.
    
    
     The first court ever held in Lancaster County was at his house, and is recorded in Book 1, page 1 of the county records: "At a court holden for Lancaster at ye house of Capt. More ffantleroy on ye first of Jany 1651-2. Present: Mr. Toby Smith, Mr. James Bagnall, also;- Mr. David ffox, Mr. James Williamson, Mr Geo. Tayloe, Mr. Geo. Gilson, Mr. William, Mr. William Underwood."
    
     In the records of Old Rappahannock County, which was formed out of Lancaster, we read in Vol. I, page 12 that Col. More Fantleroy is appointed on a committee of six to sign a treaty with the Indians in September 1657.
    
     In Bishop Mead's Old Churches and Virginia, in Vol 2 pages 478 to 481 is a sketch of the Fauntleroy family in Virginia, and in this sketch Bishop Meade gives a copy of a deed from the king and great men of the Rappahannock Indians to Moore 1 Fauntleroy. The date of this deed is the 4th of April 1651. By it the Indians convey to Moore Fauntleroy a vast tract of land stretching from the Rappahannock to the Potomac River and from Rappahannock Creek Morattico Creek.
    
     This deed from the Indians, although confirmed by the Assembly, gave Col. Fauntleroy trouble, as he became involved in disputes with both the Indians and the Assembly over the ownership of the land, and finally most of it was taken from him.
    
     From Henings Statutes of Virginia, Vol. 2, page 14, "Assembly of 1660; Whereas the committee hath reported that Col. Fantlaroy hath from the Indians a conveyance of his land, and an acknowledgment made by them, but not according to act, and that this conveyance hath reference to a former deede whereby it is pretended by Coll. Fantleroy that it evidently appeared hee had made the Indians satisfaction but neither the deede nor the evidence appearing, and Coll. Fantleroy petitioning for a referrence upon pretence of further evidence, it is ordered that a referrence be granted him till the next assembly, that in the meane time Coll. Carter acquaint the Indians what care the Assembley takes to preserve their rights, and that the said Coll. Carter bee impowered in the said Indians behalfe to prosecute their cause the next assembly."
    
     In 1661 Col. Fauntleroy was in trouble with the Assembly "for Seizing and binding the King and chief man of the Indians", and was declared incapable of holding any office in the Colony, and required to give security for his future good behavior toward the Indians and the Assembly. At the same session other early settlers were fined for offenses against the Indians, and it appears that the Royal Governor and the Assembly were very zealous in protecting the Indians in all their rights, often to the detriment of the colonists. This policy resulted in raids by the Indians upon some of the settlers on the outer fringe of the Colony, and was later the cause of Bacon's Rebellion in 1676."
    
    
    
     "Col. Moore Fauntleroy was evidently a man of high and fearless temper. On March 7, 1658-9, the House of Burgesses, of which he was a member, suspended him for a contempt of the House, he being absent when the speaker was chosen, having 'moved against him as if clandestinely elected and taxed the House with unwarrantable proceedings therein.' But the next day he acknowledged his error and was readmitted to his seat."
    
     In the Lancaster county records Vol. 1, pages 11 & 97, appear two contracts made in 1658 by Col. Fauntleroy with John Remuse and Nicholas Wadilloc, millwrights for the construction of mills on his plantations. These mills were for the grinding of Indian corn, and were operated by oxen.
    
     Col. Moore Fauntleroy was elected to the House of Burgesses and served for years, as follows: In 1644, 45, and 47 from Upper Norfolk County; in 1652, 53, 54 and 56 from Lancaster County; in 1659 and 60 from Old Rappahannock County. He was a captain in the Virginia Militia, and was promoted to major, lt. colonel, and in 1656 to colonel.
    
     In the records of Old Rappahannock County, Vol. 1, page 33, we find this item in the will of Francis Slaughter circa 1656. "to my brother-in-law, Coll. Moore Fauntleroy, my book entitled Hooker 's Ecclesiastical Policy. In Vol. 1, page 89, from the will of Augustine Withey, 1659. "Visited with sickness. To be buried at the will and pleasure of my Loveing friend More Fantleroy. My debts to be paid .... appoint my friend More Fantleroy, Gent. my sole Executor, bequeathing to him all my estate."."
    
     "It seems certain that Col. Moore Fauntleroy married first a daughter of Mrs. Margaret Underwood, and that she died leaving no issue.
    
     As we have no records of the first marriage it is important we should give the indirect proof. Mrs. Margaret. Underwood married 2nd John Upton, and 3rd Capt. Thomas Lucas. Upon the occasion of her third marriage there was a marriage settlement, dated April 10, 1657, in which Col. M. F. is named as a trustee, even before her son, seems significant, and M. F. was then married to Mary Hill.
    
     Mrs. Margaret Underwood had four other, daughters all probably by her first husband. They were: Elizabeth, who married Francis Slaughter, 2nd, Capt. John Catlett. Francis Slaughter, in his will, made about 1656, bequeathed a book to "my brother-in-law, Capt. Moore Fauntleroy".
    
     Margaret, married Capt. Humphrey Booth, gave a P. of A., August 24, 1660, to "my well beloved Brother, Coll. More Fantleroy".
     Sarah, married Col. Wk. Peirce of Westmoreland County, who took out in his own name a patent for 5054 acres of lands and afterwards transferred it, in 1680, to M.F.'s son, William.
     Anne, married James Williamson. We do not know the relationship, but William Williamson of Lancaster, in his will in 1670, left a legacy to M. F.'s three children, William, Elizabeth & Moore, which was afterwards given to them by Col. Wm. Lloyd, their step-father.
     Capt. Wm. Underwood, son of Mrs. Margaret Underwood, in 1652 gave a cow to M.F.'s daughter Elizabeth, stating that he and his wife were witnesses as to his baptism.
     These gentlemen, Wm. Underwood, Francis Slaughter, Humphrey Booth, Wm. Peirce, and James Williamson, were all Justices, and some of them Burgesses. Voting together they exercised a great deal of authority in both county and state. They all patented land on the same day, May 22, 1650, on the north bank of the Rappahannock, extending for 25 miles, counting in the smaller tracts in between taken up by others. Moore Fauntleroy also patented a tract of land for his "mother-in-law" making use of his own headrights. This is believed to refer to Mrs. Margaret Underwood.

Certificates filed herewith. EXTRACT: Colonel Moore Fauntleroy who was a member of an old family in the counties of Dorset & Southampton, England, came to Virginia about 1641 and settled in the county of Upper Norfolk. He represented Upper Norfolk in the Houlse of Burgeses at the sessions of October 1644, February 1644-5, January 1647. Not long after this date he removed to the count of Lancaster for which he was burgess at the sessions of March 1651, July 1653, March 1654-5, March 1655-6, December 1656. After the county of Rappahannock was formed from Lancaster he represented the former county of the sessions of March 1658-9, March 1659-60. He had a son William Fauntleroy of Rappahannock County who married in 1680 Katherine, daughter of Colonel Samuel Griffin, of Northumberland County. William and Katherine (Griffin) Fauntleroy had a son Colonel William Fauntleroy of Naylor's Hole, Richmond County, who was born in 1684 and died in 1757. He was a member of the House of Burgesses from Richmond County at the sessions of August 1736 - April 1749. He married Apphia, daughter of John Bushrod and had a daughter Sarah who married James Gray. James and Sarah Gray had a daughter Sallie who married in 1782, David Jameson and they in turn had a daughter Sallie Fauntleroy Jameson who married John Samuels. John and Sallie Samuel had a daughter Catharine Samuel who in 1820, married Daniel Seider who was the grandmother of the applicant.
     REF: Notable Southern Families: Moore, son of John and Phoebe (Wilkinson) Fauntleroy, married, first in England 26 Dec. 1639, Dorothy, daughter of Thomas Colle, of Liss, Hampshire and had issue two daughters, who resided in England. Leaving his daughters in England and probably after the death of his first wife, Moore, better known as Col. Moore Fauntleroy, came to Virginia 1643, and settled in what is now the County of Richmond. He was Burgess for Upper Norfold 1644 to 1647, for Lancaster 1651-6, and after Rappanannock was formed from Lancaster he represented that county in 1658, 1659; was a Justice of Rappanannock as early as 1656. He patented a very large amount of land and purchased other tracts from the indians. Col. Fauntleroy married second Mary Hill about 1648, there being a marriage contract bearing that date. Moore and Mary (Hill) had one son, William, Justice of Rappahannock 1680 to 1695, and he married Katherine, daughter of Col. Sam. Griffin of Northumberland.
     In 1608, the Essex - Rappahannock area of Virginia was first visited by Captain John Smith. The area was inhabited by Native Americans and when Captain Smith attempted to land here he was fiercely driven back to his ship. It was a Native American village and so he gave both the river and the village Native American names. The river became the Rappahannock, which meant "rise and fall" of water, and the village became Tappahannock, which means town on the "rise and fall of water". In the mid-1600s, a trading post was established by Jacob Hobbs. For a few years the area was known as Hobbs His Hole, Hobbs' Hole and later as New Plymouth. Eventually, the original name was returned in 1705.
     RESEARCHER: Sherry Kaseberg sent to T.Mason on 7Apr2001. NOTES: describing Moore Fauntleroy's participation in the affairs ofthe Virginia colony:
     ---Some believe he arrived in Virginia in the late 1630s, probably with his future brother-in-law Tobias Smith.
     ---Moore Fauntleroy arrived in Virginia a childless widower. In 1648 he married his second wife, Mary [Piersey] Hill and, about the same time, moved to the Northern Neck on the Rappahannock River, his seat at Naylor's Hole, about 15 miles from Wakefield, then in Lancaster County, now Richmond County, VA.
     ---He first settled in 1643 on the S bank of the James River, opposite Newport News, where he was living in 1648, within the limits of Upper Norfolk County, a district later called Nansemond. He patented 250 acres in 1644 and eventually had 1,400 acres on Mt. Lawson Bay near Beverly Creek, in Upper Norfolk County, later W Nansemond County, on Chuckatuck Sound, and called his home Royes Nest. He allowed his headrights to accumulate, and in 1650 he took out patents on large tracts then in York, Lancaster 1651, and Old Rappahannock 1656 Counties, and finally Richmond County in 1692, including 350 acres on the S side of the Rappahannock River in then Lancaster County, land later assigned to Captain Toby Smith, his brother-in-law, and 5,350 acres on the N side of the Rappahannock River in Lancaster, now Richmond, County on both sides of Farnham Creek, known as the Farnham Grant. His patent on the N side of the Rappahannock River was on the W side of Bushrod Creek next to the land of William Underwood, a tract called Mangorite, adjacent to the modern bridge which crosses the river to the town of Tappahannock. Later in life, Col. Fauntleroy moved to a spot on Mangorite Creek known as the Stone House Field, now part of the Sabine Hall Plantation, according to Virginia Drewy McG. Pearson's work, probably his last home.
     ---In 1644 he was elected to the House of Burgesses from Upper Norfolk and took his seat in the Assembly of 1644 [Journals of the House of Burgesses1619-1659], and represented Upper Norfolk in two succeeding assemblies. He obtained a land grant in Upper Norfolk in 1643, according to Mary Emily Fauntleroy, New Harmony, IN in 1929.
     ------In 1650 Moore Fauntleroy obtained six patents for 8,850 acres along the Rappahannock River in the area which was first in Lancaster County, and seated his plantation at Naylor's Hole. He transported 179 persons to Virginia and their names are listed in his patents. It is fairly certain that he lived above the mouth of Farnham Creek on a portion of the Farnham land grant patented in 1650, according to the work of Miss Juliet Fauntleroy, and a deed recorded in 1667 where William Lloyd and his wife, Mary, relict of Col. Moore Fauntleroy, sold 840 acres to Edward Williams, and the description says the tract ran down along Pipemaker's Creek [Husseys], then down Farnham Creek, the several courses on the face of the old plantation on Smiths Creek.
     ---In Rappahannock County in 1651 he purchased a large quantity of land from the Indians [Old Churches, Ministers and Families of Virginia, Meade, vol. 2], leading to a series of arguments and litigation with the Indians and the colonial government. In 1651 he was elected as Burgess from Lancaster County to the Assembly of 1651-1652 [Colonial Virginia Register, Stanard] and in 1652 was granted land in the same county by Governor Berkeley [Lancaster Records]. He was again Burgess for Lancaster in 1653, and 1655.
     ---His military title comes from his service in the Virginia militia, referred to as Captain and then Major, later Lt. Colonel and in 1656, he was Colonel of the militia of Rappahannock County [Virginia County Record Series, Crozier, vol. 2].
     ---In the 1655 assembly Moore Fauntleroy presented the Lancaster citizens' petition which resulted in the northern portion of Lancaster being created Rappahannock County [Journals of the House of Burgesses 1658-1693]. Thereafter he served as Burgess for Rappahannock County, in 1658 and 1659. Because of his difficulties with the Indians, he was prohibited from holding further civil or military offices [Hening, vol.2] and died not later than 1665. That year a grant of 2,600 acres was made to Mary Fauntleroy, widow [Deed Book 5, page 504, Rappahannock County,VA].
     ---The Naylor's Hole estate was inherited by the eldest son of Moore and Mary Fauntleroy, William Fauntleroy, born in 1650. Bishop Meade stated that this Col. William Fauntleroy was a justice for Rappahannock County sometime between 1693 and 1695, and that Naylor's Hole was situated in the old North Farnham Parish of Richmond County. William married Katherine Griffin in 1678 and died about 1685 when he was only 35 year sold, leaving three children who were named in the will of Col. Samuel Griffin, Katherine's father: Griffin Fauntleroy, William Fauntleroy and Moore Fauntleroy. Katherine [Griffin] Fauntleroy was born on 16 March 1664 and was a young bride of Col. William Fauntleroy, and only 21 when left a widow with three small sons. She married 2nd Thomas Ridley, briefly and probably without children. She married 3rd David Gwyn by whom she had one child, Elizabeth. Katherine died in Richmond County at age 64, her will written on 20 October 1728 and proved on 6 November 1728.
     The Glas(s)cocks of England and America by Lawrence A. Glasscock, 1984,includes a description of the land around the mouth of Farnham Creek once owned by Col. Moore Fauntleroy. Thomas Glascock and Moore Fauntleroy appeared in Virginia records in 1643. A connection between Glascock and Fauntleroy occurred in the marriage of Arthur Glascock [born 1565] of Odiham, Hampshire, England, and Mary, daughter of Fauntleroy of Hampshire. An unidentified account notes that Thomas Glascock was the son of Gregory and Mary, who administered the estate of her husband, "Mr. Gregory Glascock" in old Rappahannock, now Richmond County, in 1689, and may have been Mary, daughter of Col. Moore, who came to VA in 1641.

SOURCE: "Family Lines", Harper P. 227-229:
"The Booths were descended from a noble family in England, and it is reported that there is still a vacant title to which the oldest Branch in this country is entitled.
"The first one of this family to emmigrate to this country, was, we have been told, the son of a Baronet in England, and owned a very large estate in what we call the Highlands, then considered superior to the low grounds.
"They were genuine specimens of good old English Squires, and remarkable for their great integrity of character. Most of the oldest families in Gloucester County, Virginia, were either descended from, or connected with them. In the 'Ancestry of William Clopton of Virginia' is found, 'Robert Booth of Belleville, Gloucester County , Virginia, father of Anne Booth, wife of William Clopton, Gent.'
"In 1637 Robert Booth bought land; 1639 - was made Clerk of York County; 1652 - was Justice; 1653-54, was member of the House of Burgesses; 1654, member of Assembly from York; and he was a physician.

Robert Booth and his son-in-law, Patrick Napier, were among the first doctors in colonial Virginia. Robert also served as the Clerk of York County, Virginia and then in the House of Burgesses



Robert Booth of "Belle Ville," Gloucester County, Virginia, was a physician (Robert Booth the Dr. was not a doctor per Sonia a professional researcher (not for me, found the reference) she said that he was the county clerk and attended at a death and that is where the Dr. assumption came in, county clerks were paid to attend at deaths for the legal purposes, i.e. wills etc......... . He served as Clerk of York County, Virginia, from 1640 to 1657 and represented York County in the House of Burgesses, 1653 and 1654. In 1657 he died leaving a widow Frances (born 1609 according to her deposition 1668). Robert Booth's Library, valued at 14 pounds sterling contained not less than 300 volumes, we are told in Brun's Constitutional History of Virginia. Colonial records show that Mr. Booth left at his death 23 thousand brick, valued at 184 shillings. Brick was manufactured either by a planter's own slaves on the premises, or by transient labor in those days. Land conveyances from and to Robert 'Bouth' dated, 1639; 1642; 1649, 1652; 1653; Charles County Patent Records (later York County), show that he was possessed of extensive tracts.

Robert Booth
B. 1605, England. Emigrated with his father, Thomas Booth from Lancashire, England to Gloucester Co., VA around 1630. Left 450 acres to Robert Booth in York Co.
Married Francis in 1632 in York Co. We are told he was Court Clerk for the House of Burgesses.
Died 1657.

Main, Box 749, Salt Lake City, Utah, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Chapter VII NOTES BOOTH 'Robert Booth of 'Belle Ville,' Gloucester County, Virginia, father of Ann Booth (wife of William Clopton, Gent.), was a physician,. He served as Clerk of York County, Virginia from 1640 to 1657 and represented York County in the House of Burgess, 1653 and 1654. In 1657 he died leaving a widow Frances(born 1609 according to her deposition 1668). Robert Booth's Library, valued at 14 pounds sterling contained not less than 300 volumes, we are told in Burn's Constitutional History of Virginia. Colonial records show that Mr. Booth left at his death 23 thousand brick, Valued at 184 Shillings. Brick was manufactured either by a planter's own slaves on the premises, or by transient labor in those days. Land conveyances from and to Robert 'Bouth' dated, 1639; 1642; 1649' 1652; 1653; Charles County Patent Records (later York County), show that he was possessed of extensive tracts. ..."

3. Extracted from Genealogies of Virginia Families from the Tyler Quarterly History and Genealogy Magazine Volume I, Genealogical Pub County, Balto MD, pp. 173-174 "BOOTH OF YORK COUNTY We know of three distinct Booth families in Virginia. There was the Booth family of Gloucester County, from which Gen. William. B. Taliaferro was descended. Then there was a numerous family of the name on the south side of the James, going back to a very early date. The York County Family appears to have no immediate connection with either of these, and has died out in the male line. Robert Booth was clerk of York County from 1640 to 1652. That year (1652)he represented York County in the House of Burgesses, and in 1654 he was again a representative. He died in 1657, leaving a widow Frances , born in 1619, [sic] according to her deposition in 1668. Oct. 25, 1658. An order concerning a debt due Mrs. Frances Booth, widow of Robert Booth, deceased. (York County Records.) They had issue ...

Another son was probably Humphrey Booth who married Margaret Underwood and had Humphrey Booth, Jr., Grace Booth and Catherine Booth. William Booth was probably another son and married Mrs. Thomas Chapman on 12 August 1657. His wife is listed as Margaret. (The Mecklenburg Signers & Their Neighbors, by Worth S. Ray, page 467-468) William sat on the York County Bench of Justices as early as 1677. His wife was undoubtly Margaret Bray sister to Anne Bray. (William and Mary Quarterly, old Series, by Tyler, Volume I, Booth of York County, p. 174-175) William and Elizabeth had an only child Elizabeth who married Thomas Nutting and had children as listed in William's will page 130, dated 13 May 1692. William's granddaughter Katherine Nutting was the second wife to Capt. Robert Armistead whose first wife was Elizabeth Booth daughter of Robert Booth 2 and Ann Bray. 5. According to a history of the Patrick NAPIER family, Robert Booth received land in Charles River County, later York, in 1638.

SOURCE: "Gen. of Virginia Families", Vol. IV, P. 26, Booth File "Robert Booth died 1657, leaving widow, Frances and three children -- (1) Elizabeth married Dr. Patrick Napier; (2) Robert married Ann Bray; and (3) Anne m. 1st Thomas Dennett and 2nd William Clopton.... "The records show that George Baskerville married Eliz., a daughter of Hugh Norvell of James City County; and Thomas Dennett, mentioned above as first husband of Ann Booth, had a sister Mary, who married John Baskerville, and they were the parents of George Baskerville, who married Elizabeth Norvell.

SOURCE: "Family Lines", Harper P. 227-229: "The Booths were descended from a noble family in England, and it is reported that there is still a vacant title to which the oldest Branch in this country is entitled. "The first one of this family to emmigrate to this country, was, we have been told, the son of a Baronet in England, and owned a very large estate in what we call the Highlands, then considered superior to the low grounds. "They were genuine specimens of good old English Squires, and remarkable for their great integrity of character. Most of the oldest families in Gloucester County, Virginia, were either descended from, or connected with them. In the 'Ancestry of William Clopton of Virginia' is found, 'Robert Booth of Belleville, Gloucester County , Virginia, father of Anne Booth, wife of William Clopton, Gent.' "In 1637 Robert Booth bought land; 1639 - was made Clerk of York County; 1652 - was Justice; 1653-54, was member of the House of Burgesses; 1654, member of Assembly from York; and he was a physician.

Received land in Charles River County (Later York County) in 1638. Gene This is great, just keep it coming!!!!I'll get it done at some point, until then .... by the way Robert Booth the Dr. was not a doctor per Sonia a professional researcher (not for me, found the reference) she said that he was the county clerk and attended at a death and that is where the Dr. assumption came in, county clerks were paid to attend at deaths for the legal purposes, i.e. wills etc......... make sense? it does to me. Sharon ----- Original Message ----- From: 'Gene . Harris' To: 'Sharon' Gene No PDF file was attached.....don't need it, rtf file is fine....can read either......I have spent some time online finding everything I can get my hands on to read files so if I happened to find a great resource like you I could read the files! I also have CD Rom and a burner, and zip drive, and scanner. I'm set up for art work/graphics---Photo Restoration and my painting (am setting up a separate web page for my art that will link to my genealogy page below). The 600 dpi scan of Elliots obituary is great, fits to the page and prints up nice, the 150 dpi is unreadable as too small or pixelated and blurry when enlarged on screen or fit to page to print. (I assume you knew that and that's why you sent the 600 dpi .jpg file with the spread sheet copy which is also nice) I'm hoping to find photos of my line and the places or area they lived in, and the family bible; grandpa Charles Coleman Cox said in a letter c. 1960 that 'there is a family bible.......haven't seen it for about 50 years but know it existed' (he died in Feb of 1964 of cancer). That might put the bible as last seen about the time of his granpa Charles Cocks/Cox death in 1905/06 (will dtd Apr 1905/ filed Sept 1906 Surry County court). Have photos of him and one of one sister, one of his brother in a family Christmas card, I found these in grandmas papers after she died in 1992, and that's as far as the photos go. my snail mail address: Sharon Cox-Pulsipher550 E 300 S Hyrum, UT 84319USA (435) 245-3280e-mail: spulsiph@cache.net

As you know, I am searching for the maiden name of Frances Booth, wife of Robert Booth (b. 1605 in England, m. about 1632, York County, Virginia, d. sometime before Oct. 26, 1657, York County,Virginia). I have searched the Virginia Library Archives plus other sources, including ships' passenger lists from: http://www.primenet.com/~langford/places/va160.htm

I have been able to find the following, and am wondering whether anybody has more to add.

SOURCE: "Gen. of Va. Families", Vol. I, P. 173, Booth File "Robert Booth...died in 1657, leaving widow, Frances, born in 1619, according to her deposition in 1668. "Oct. 25, 1658, an order concerning a debt due Mrs. Frances Booth, widow of Booth, deceased. (York Co. Records) "They had issue: (1) Elizabeth, (Thomas Gibeons deed dated Nov. 15, 1641, giving to her as 'daughter of Robert Booth' 50 acres of land)* (2). Anne, (3) Robert, (4) Eleanor, and probably (5) William." *NOTE: We believe Thomas Gibeons is the father of Frances. His will does not include her by name - but here again, he may have felt he did for her or her child all that was necessary by giving Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Booth 50 acres of land in deed dated Nov. 15, 1641, and didn't include Frances in will??? Thomas Gybson's will of 1562 provides for wife, Elizabeth, and this may be her granddaughter, namesake.

I searched Thomas Gibeons, and variations of spellings for marriages between 1590 and 1619 and found four such entries with the spouse named "Elizabeth" in the IGI. As I am tracing my matrilineal line back as far as I can for mtDNA studies, I am looking for both Frances's parents.

The IGI lists the following marriages for "Thomas Gib*": NAME Thomas /GIBBINS/ SEX M PAGE Batch #: M016482, Sheet #: , Source Call #: 0417121 NAME Elizabetha /FARNA/ GIVN Elizabetha SURN FARNA SEX F MARR(IAGE) DATE 30 Sep 1605 PLAC Berkeley, Gloucester, England

I also downloaded the Virginia Musters for 1623/4 and 1624/5 plus lists of those who had died.and was unable to find a "Thomas Gibeons." To rule out variations on the spellings of his name, I searched as "Gib*" which would pick up anything beginning with the letters, "Gib." There were no Thomases. I also scanned numerous ships' passenger lists from the web site,

And did not find any gentlemen named Thomas Gibeons and variations of spellings thereof, as well as a Robert Booth or Frances Booth/Gibeons/Gibbons, etc.

If anybody has something to add, please do so.

This might interest you. A quote from "Old Virginia Houses." Page 78. " BELLEVILLE, on one of the most beautiful sites on the south side of the North River [Ware Neck], was built on land acquired by John Boswell and John Booth in a grant from the Crown in the 17th century....the two were wholesale tobacco buyers who did an export business between Gloucester and London...Their office...is still standing...." It would not be difficult to contact the current owners of Belleville if you are interested.

Descendants of Robert Booth
Estate papers have not been found for Robert Booth (many times referred to as Dr. Robert Booth / Bouth) in York Co, VA records.

********************
My ancestor was Ann Booth 1647-1716 m. to William Clopton. Her father was Robert Booth b. 1610, but it is a mystery concerning his actual father. There seems to be a number of contenders. I'm hoping someone has this mystery worked out.

The issue:

Robert Booth b. 1610 has multiple contenders for his father. This Dr. Robert Booth is said to have been born in both Virginia and England. He is listed as a qualifying ancestor for the Jamestown Society.

It seems that his GRANDFATHER is either...
a. Sir William Booth b. 1541 married to Warburton, or
b. Sir William Booth (Bothe) b. 1520 married to Davenport

Concensus seems to be that his mother was "a" Katherine Anderson (b. 1568) daughter of Sir Edmund Anderson.

Contenders from Sir William Booth b. 1541

a. Sir George, 1st Baronet, was married to the Katherine Anderson mentioned above but they had not child named Robert and they did not leave England.

b. Edmund (aka Edward) Booth is said to have been an English lawyer but died without issue. No spouse listed.

c. Robert Booth (b. 1570) was a soldier said to have died in action in the Netherlands.

All three were said to have been Robert's (1610) father and all married to "a" Katherine Anderson.

Contender from Sir William Booth (Bothe) b. 1520

a. Edward Booth b. 1568 also said to be married to "a" Katherine Anderson. This could be William Booth's son, but it could also be a grandson based on difference of the years involved.

Issues: I do believe that one of the Sir William's listed above was a grandfather or even great grandfather of Robert Booth (b. 1610), but which one? There are problems with every contender.

Obviously all these men cannot be married to Katherine Anderson daughter of Sir Edmund Anderson. It is possible there could be another Katherine Anderson, but then her parent's would be unknown at this time. It seems more likely that Robert's mother is unknown.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

"Booth of York County
We know of three distinct Booth families in Virginia. There was the Booth family of Gloucester County, from which Gen. William B. Taliaferro was descended. Then there was a numerous family of the name on the south side of the James, going back to a very early date. The York County family appears to have had no immediate connection with either of these, and has died out in the male line.
Robert Booth was clerk of York County from 1640 to 1652. That year (1652) he represented York County in the House of Burgesses, and in 1654 he was again a representative. He died in 1657, leaving a widow Frances, born in 1619, according to her deposition in 1668.
Oct 25, 1658. An order concerning a debt due Mrs. Frances Booth, widow of Robert Booth, deceased. (York County Records.)
They had issue 1. Elizabeth. (Thomas Gibeons dec'd, dated Nov. 15, 1641, giving to her as "daughter of Robert Booth" 50 acres of land.) She married Dr. Patrick Napier, ancestor of the Napier family of New Kent, Goochland and Albemarle. 2. Anne, who according to her tombstone, was born in 1642. She married (1) Thomas Dennett, (2) William Clopton of New Kent. 3. Robert. 4. Eleanor, born 1649, and probably (5) William Booth.
In the records of the General Court Novemb. 11, 1672, Robert Booth is named as "son and heir of Robert Booth," and was permitted to patent 1,000 acres of land in New Kent Co. granted to his father, Robert Booth, Sr. He married Anne Bray, daughter of Col. James Bray of the Council and Angelica, his wife, one of the "White Aprons", who were placed by Bacon in 1676 upon his earthworks before Jamestown for the protection of his men. Robert Booth died in 1692, and was buried in the chancel of Hampton Parish Church in York County. His widow in 1693 married 2dly. Peter Temple, by whom apparently no issue (as he died in 1694 - Bruton Parish Register). She married 3rdly about 1695 Mungo Inglis, first Grammar Master of William and Mary College.
It is unfortunate that no will of Robert Booth can be found. But by comparing the depostiion of Thomas BOoth in 1705 (William and Mary College Quarterly, old series, by Tyler, Volume XVI, p. 192) with the reference to Mungo Inglis' "son-in-law" (step-son) on page 183 of the same volume it seems certain that Thomas Booth was his son. A sister undoubtedly was first wife of Captain Robert Armistead, for Thomas Booth, dying without any children, left large legacies in money and real estate to her son Booth Armistead (See Tyler's Quarterly VI, pp. 260-263) which, upon Booth Armistead's premature death in 1727 descended to his brother Capt. Ellyson Armistead. Among the children of the latter, suggestive of descent, were Robert Booth Armistead (whose only daughter Mary Marot Armistead married John Tyler) and James Bray Armistead.
William Booth was probably another son of Robert Armistead, the clerk. He sat on the York County Bench of Justices as early as 1677. His wife was Margaret and he had a daughter Elizabeth who was second wife of Capt. Robert Armistead, having previously married Capt. William Sheldon. Her children were Booth, Robert and Angelica. No doubt Katherine's Grandmother Margaret was like Anne, the mother of Captain Armistead's first wife, a daughter of Col. James Bray. Apparently two Bray sisters married two Booth brothers, and Captain Robert Armistead married successively the granddaughter and great-granddaughter of Col. James Bray.
Mungo Inglis was born about 1657 (deposition in York County Records) and died in 1719 (Bruton Parish Register; Perry, Church Historical Papers). His wife Anne Bray died in 1711 (Bruton Register). They had five children - three girls and two boys. All appears to have died early save James, who was clerk of Isle of Wight County from 1724 to 1732, when he died. After the death of Thomas Booth, issueless he became the heir at law of Anne Inglis, formerly Anne Bray.
He married Anne Marot, daughter of Jean Marot, a French Huguenot who kept ordinary in Williamsburg. Upon his death Anne Marot married James Shields, and upon James Shields' death in 1750 she married on June 11, 1751, Henry Wetherburn, who kept the Raleigh Tavern in Williamsburg.
By his marriage with Anne Marot James Inglis had a daughter Judity Bray Inglis, who in 1751 was, under age but in 1753 was married to William Armistead. As the heir of her Grandmother Anne (Inglis) Bray she received that year (1754) a certain half interest in lands devised by Col. David Bray, brother to her said grandmother. (Hening, Statutes at Large, IV, p. 371, VI, p. 412; Bray Family, William and Mary College Quarterly, XIII, pp. 266-270.)

Descendants of Robert Booth

Estate papers have not been found for Robert Booth (many times referred to as Dr. Robert Booth / Bouth) in York Co, VA records. Therefore the children listed below are those individuals thought to be his descendants by most contemporary researchers. This researcher would very much like to obtain primary source records documenting parentage of children thought to be from the marriage of Robert Booth and Frances (Gibson / Gibeons / Gideon??). Further information on this family would be greatly appreciated.

Generation No. 1

1. Robert1 Booth was born 1616 in England1, and died 1657 in York Co, VA2,3. He married Frances. She died Aft. 1668 in York Co, VA6.

York Co, VA Records 1659 - 1662 p. 85.
In Oct. 1859 it was ordered that Edward Creeke pay Mrs. Frances Bouth, widow and Adm'x of Mr. Robert Bouth, dec'd 535 lbs, the remainder of a greater debt. Judgment this day ordered agst Creeke.

York Co, VA Records 1659 - 1662 p. 126
Certificate is granted to Mrs. Frances Bouth for 2000 acres of land for importation of 40 persons into this colony, vizt: George Williams, Henry Bowles, Elizabeth Broadrock, Cornelius Lowers, Melior Bles, Robert Heton, Robert Monroe, William Kelliman, William Monroe, Saunders Smith, John Bankes, Richard Woebshoute, John Bankes, John Monroe, Robert Jones, Reuben Asborne, Richard Deverell, Henry Price, Thomas Tailor, Thomas Perine, Mary Gardner, Maudlin Frith, Frances Sibella Darby, Margaret Powell, John Fulcher, Robert Atkins, Rice Robert Whitaker, John Wattills, Stephen Cowgells, Robert Porter. (first 20 assigned to William Hichman)

York Co, VA Records 1665 - 1672 p. 305. Francis Booth, age 49 says that mr. Thomas Reade, Undersheriff, coming to Mr. Patrick Napier's to receive his levies, after much discourse about payment, Reade told Napier that in case he should pay him elsewhere, he did utterly disclaim the hogshead that he then received and would have nothing to do with it. Signed: Fra. Booth. 24 June 1668. Eleanor Booth, age 19, says same as above. Elnor Booth. 29 June 1668.

Children of Robert Booth and Frances are:

+ 2 i. William2 Booth, J.P. who died 16 May 1692 in Charles Parish, York Co, VA.

+ 3 ii. Elizabeth Booth

4 iii. Robert Booth, born 1644 in York Co, VA; died 16927. He married Ann Bray7.

5 iv. Anne Booth, born 07 Mar 1646/47 in York Co, VA; died 04 Mar 1716/17 in New Kent Co, VA. She married (1) Thomas Dennett. She married (2) William Clopton 1677.
