Notes |
- James Maddera ca. 1650 (?) - after 1712.
Isle of Wight County Will and Deed Book I records the following: John Murray sells to James Maddera 100 acres in U. P. (Upper Parish) adjoining Thomas Took. Elizabeth Murray also signs. 20 Jan. 1681.
A James Maddera married Mary Gray, daughter of Richard Gray (widower) of ye Upper Parish in Isle of Wight County. In Richard Gray's will written in 1722 he mentions daughter Mary and her husband James Maddera and various young grandchildren. This is 42 years after the original land purchase above. Therefore, it is probable that the James Maddera who married Mary Gray is the son of the James Maddera who first purchased land in Isle of Wight County.
On 30 December 1712 James Maddera witnessed the will of Peter Deberry. The will included a legacy to daughter Priscilla, wife of Zacharias Maddera. The marriage of Zacharias Maddera and Priscilla Deberry, daughter of Peter Deberry is recorded in 1712. W. &D. B.2p. 554. The marriage date being given in the same year as the will of Peter Deberry may indicate that the marriage occurred earlier but was not recorded until proved by the information in the will. This James Maddera was probably the father of Zachariah and James n.
At present this is all we know of James Maddera/Maderas. The name is spelled in many different ways in the early records. We assume that James Maddera I is the son of Domingo Maderas and father of James Maddera U and Zacharias/Zachariah Maddera, about whom we know a considerable amount. The dates fit comfortably.
