      BEEN ENTERED INTO TEXT FILE FOR LONG MESSAGES.

      Some affluent families came to the Virginia colony and among them was that of the name Barham of Surry County. Since we had the will of Dame Filmer, grandmother of the Captain Charles Barham of Virginia, and she was the lady with the 600 pearls left in her will it was thought that we would include the will of the husband of the Dame Filmer (Elizabeth Argoll). "Dated 5 December 1629 : Will of Sir Edward Filmer of East Sutton, County Kent, England. Sir Edward Filmer, Knight (aged 63 years.

      (Reference for the above will of Sir Edward Filmer, Knight, grandfather of Captain Charles Barham of Surry. Virginia: "Virginia Magazine of History and Biography," Vol. 24, pages I58-159. It might be of interest to some of our readers that Henry Filmer of Henrico County, Virginia, an early settler, was son or grandson of the above Sir Edward Filmer. It was through this lineage that many persons have established their lineage back to the Magna Charta and to the Crusaders).
