Notes:

*Isle of Wight Book 1, p. 98
NOTE: John Prime made a deposition June 9, 1688 giving his age as 22. (IOW Book 2, p. 280) He apparantly was born in 1665/6 and was 5 or 6 years old when William Ridley's Will was made.
NOTE2: It has been suggested that William RIDLEY was the brother of Elizabeth, the wife of Captain CHARLES (1) BARHAM. So far as is known, his Will is the basis for this assumption, and even though no proof has been found, several genealogists have concluded that Elizabeth was the daughter of PETER RIDLEY and the sister of WILLIAM RIDLEY.
Charles Barham Jr., of Charlottesville, Virginia was searching for his ancestors and in 1958, made an abstract copy of all official records that he had found in his research. He was not completely convinced that Elizabeth's father was a RIDLEY.
Robert Young Barham published a book on his family heritage in 1963. He traces his family back to the youngest son of Captain CHARLES (1) BARHAM. He stated in that publication that Elizabeth was probably the daughter of PETER RIDLEY.
An abstract of the Will of William RIDLEY has been given. It tends to prove that there was a relationship between him and the family of Captain CHARLES (1) BARHAM. Though he names Capt. BARHAM as the Executor of his estate and leaves bequests to the two daughters of Charles (1) BARHAM, he does not denote any relationship.
Though not named in the records along with Captain CHARLES (1) BARHAM, it is more than likely that there was a definite relationship between the TUKE family and the BARHAM family. William TUKE was the son of James TUKE, who came to Virginia in 1621 in the "GEORGE". James TUKE also had a son, Thomas TUKE, who was named as overseer of William RIDLEY'S Will. Charles (1) BARHAM'S great, great grandmother was Mary TUKE, before her marriage to Sir Reginald SCOTT. Mary TUKE was the daughter of Sir Bryan TUKE, secretary to Cardinal Wolsey.

inherited land in James City as proven by a petition of his son Charles in
1734,of which Dr. B.C.Holtzclaw secured a copy from the Public Records Office

more convenient (Journal of the House of Burgesses, 1727-40, pp. 138, 139, etc.)
In 1738 he was deeded land by Thomas Holt, Jr. in Isle of Wight Co.
(Isle of Wight D. B. 5, p. 249) and lived in Isle of Wight for a number of years,
receiving also numerous land-grants in that county, most of which fell into Southampton
on the organization of that county. He died in Southampton Co. in 1791 at an advanced age.
His will, dated September 17, 1783 and probated June 9, 1791 (W.B. 4, p.432) leaves his
property to his son Robert Barham and granddaughter Milly Barham; daughter Lucy Deloach;
Dewry Parker, husband of his daughter Elizabeth; grandsons Joel and Barham Newsom and
daughter Mary Harris; son James; and makes his grandson Joel Barham his executor.
Charles Barham married the first time, probably Sarah Judkins, daughter of John Judkins
of Surry (Dr. Holtzclaw V.M. 48, p. 359. His second wife was Ann Arrington, widow, of
Southampton.
