"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.

On the next page, (p. 32) it says:
"Belle Ville was patented by Thomas Curtis in 1649. John Curtis began the house about 1658.
It came into Booth hands in the early eighteenth century, and remained in the possession of
Booth-Taliaferro descendents until modern times."

" Many of the first settlers were directly connected with the Virginia Company of
London. Lewis Burwell was son of a member. Edward Wiatt was nephew of another,
Sir Francis Wyatt. Captain Thomas Todd II was a direct, as well as collateral, descendent
of several members of the Company. The Pages, Claytons, Booths and Blands were all
descended from members."

" Woodstock was built by the Booths in the eighteenth century. Through the marriage of
Mary Macon, widow of the Rev. Emanuel Jones, Jr., to William Booth it passed to Emanuel
Macon Jones whose son sold it in 1840."
The booklet mainly gives notes on Gloucester Homes and Public Buildings.

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.

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.

********************
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

This report is from Talmadge Boothe (TX) that a few of us have tried to
contact on his line. We know there are errors listed in the report and to
the best of my ability I will try to correct them as I go along.
[Talmadge's son has not written back, either, so the connection is not good
here. Take the information as a possible link, and then do your own research]
This is my line through Moses Booth Sr., and several other of you connect
into the line. I am hoping that with the further down generations some of
your other cousins might also find your links. Moses Booth Sr., would be
the oldest child of Robert Booth (III) listed below. Talmadge has given
much erroneous information on the two Moses' and hopefully I have helped
clarify them in previous posts. I won't list the 'wrong' information that
he has, so the webpage would be the best place to find the correct
information that I will omit here in the report.

I am not giving all the information down to the 1900's births since this is
too contemporary a time for us to be searching. Let me know if any of you
cousins connect.

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. To dear wife Elizabeth (Underwood) Slaughter residue of estate lands, houses and to her heirs except my rapier belt and young mare that runs either about Lawnes or Lower Chippox Creek.

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.

The land is described as lying on Richards Creek, down the river to Peacocks Quarter and thence to the fort field. On 20 September 1661, Humphrey Booth was granted 1000 acres in Rappahannock County, on the south side of the River at the eaternmost corner of the land of Wililam White for the transport of 20 persons into the Virginia Colony.

She was a daughter of William Clopton Gent. who was born in 1655 in County Essex, England. He was a son of Rev. William Clopton of Eastwood Co., Essex, and his wife, Elizabeth Sutcliffe. The Clopton line has been traced back to Edward I, King of England. It has been written that Sir Walter Clopton, one of our ancestors, signed the Magna Carta on 15 June 1215 In this the rights of the subjects are compelled to be respected by the authority and these rights proclaimed are a part of the constitution of every English speaking people. Kentwell Hall was the name of the Manor House of the Clopton Family in England. William Clopton, son of Elizabeth Clopton, must have been in Virginia by 1673 since his marriage to Am Booth, daughter of Robert Booth, occurred about that time. Am Booth was born in 1647 Her father, Robert Booth, was Clerk of York Co., Va. and a member of the House of Burgessess 1653-54. She was formerly the wife of Capt. Thomas Dennett whose will was proved 1 Aug. 1673, by whom she had four children.

Hello Mr. Harris,

I have documented my line to Robert Booth. His daughter, Ann, married William Clopton. Their daughter, Elizabeth, married (1) William Walker, their son, William, married Jane Bays (father Peter was a Huguenot/Manakin). Jane and William had a daughter named Lydia who married John Warren Jackson and on down to me. Would you like any of this information? I am always happy to share.

Do you know if Robert Booth's father came to Jamestown? I notice there is a Robert Booth on that list.

Sincerely,

Dee Redkevitch Atlanta, GA Dee Redkevitch [deezee97@mindspring.com]

The William and Mary Quarterly, Vol. 5, No. 4 (Apr., 1897), pp. 230-240 :
Mr. Thomas Booth, in Gloucester county, a justice of the peace for many years and considerable merchant. Nov. 5.

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.

Robert Booth married Sarah (--?--) probably between 1689 and 170. Her birth name may have been "Shelly". Sarah was identified in the record of a law suit in Surry County, Virginia, as "Sarah, wife of Robert Booth" which indicates that she was appearing in the suit and thus must have had an interest in her own right in the outcome of the lawsuit. The suit had been filed against Sarah, the wife and the Executrix of Philip Shelly, deceased. Sarah Wakefield Shelly, the executrix, became the wife of Christopher Smith during the administration of the will of the estate of her deceased husband Philip. This court record and her son named "Shelly" are indications that Sarah's birth name might have been "Shelly". In addition, Sarah Booth's grandson Philip Booth (the son of Shelly Booth) may have been a namesake of Philip Shelly of Surry County, Virginia.

Robert Booth probably died in 1759 in Nottoway Parish, Southampton County, Colony of Virginia. Although Robert Booth's will was dated 6 October 1757, it was not presented to the court for probate until the 10th of January in 1760. It appears likely therefore that he died sometime in late 1759.<5>
Robert Booth's will was probated on 1760.1.10 in Southampton County, Colony of Virginia. The Southampton Court stated: "At a Court held for the County of Southampton the 10th day of January 1760 This Will was presented on Court by Moses Booth the Exor therein named proved by the oaths of Joseph Gray & Barnaby Bailey two of the witnesses thereto & ordered to be Recorded and on the motion of the said Exor who made oath according to Law Certificate was Granted him for obtaining a probat [sic] hereof in due (last line illegible) Test R Kello."<6>

Robert Booth probably died in 1759 in Nottoway Parish, Southampton County,Colony of Virginia. Although Robert Booth's will was dated 6 October 1757, it was not presented to the court for probate until the 10th of January in 1760. It appears likely therefore that he died sometime in late 1759.<5>
Robert Booth's will was probated on 1760.1.10 in Southampton County, Colony of Virginia. The Southampton Court stated "At a Court held for the County of Southampton the 10th day of January 1760 This Will was presented on Court by Moses Booth the Exor therein named proved by the oaths of Joseph Gray & Barnaby Bailey two of the witnesses thereto & ordered to be Recorded and on the motion of the said Exor who made oath according to Law Certificate was Granted him for obtaining a probat [sic] hereof in due (last line illegible) Test R Kello."<6>
Robert Booth's estate was the subject of an inventory dated 1760.2.7 and filed by executor Moses Booth the 13th of March in Southampton County, Colony of Virginia. The record of the inventory stated "A true Inventory of the Estate of Robert Booth deced given with under my hand 27th

PATRICK NAPIER, CHIRURGEON
(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.

Hello Mr. Harris,

I have documented my line to Robert Booth. His daughter, Ann, married William Clopton. Their daughter, Elizabeth, married (1) William Walker, their son, William, married Jane Bays (father Peter was a Huguenot/Manakin). Jane and William had a daughter named Lydia who married John Warren Jackson and on down to me. Would you like any of this information? I am always happy to share.

Do you know if Robert Booth's father came to Jamestown? I notice there is a Robert Booth on that list.

Sincerely,

BIOGRAPHY: Elizabeth Clopton was the widow of William Walker who died 12 Sept. 1718 (St. Peters Parish Reg., New Kent Co., VA.) She was a daughter of William Clopton Gent. who was born in 1655 in County Essex, England. He was a son of Rev. William Clopton of Eastwood Co., Essex, and his wife, Elizabeth Sutcliffe. The Clopton line has been traced back to Edward I, King of England. It has been written that Sir Walter Clopton, one of our ancestors, signed the Magna Carta on 15 June 1215 In this the rights of the subjects are compelled to be respected by the authority and these rights proclaimed are a part of the constitution of every English speaking people. Kentwell Hall was the name of the Manor House of the Clopton Family in England. William Clopton, son of Elizabeth Clopton, must have been in Virginia by 1673 since his marriage to Am Booth, daughter of Robert Booth, occurred about that time. Am Booth was born in 1647 Her father, Robert Booth, was Clerk of York Co., Va. and a member of the House of Burgessess 1653-54. She was formerly the wife of Capt. Thomas Dennett whose will was proved 1 Aug. 1673, by whom she had four children. "The Ancestors of William Clopton of York County, Virginia with Records of Some of His Descendants, to which are added Royal Iines," by Lucy Jane Erwin, 1939, includes Moss and Diuguid lines.

* Alexander Spotswood became acting royal governor of Virginia in 1710, by which time pressure on the colony to expand had become more acute than ever. In 1716, Governor Spotswood, with about 50 other men and 74 horses, led a real estate speculation expedition up the Rappahannock River valley during westward exploration of the interior of Virginia. The journalist of this expedition was a Huguenot, Lieut. John Fontaine, who served as an officer in the British Army.
The party included 14 rangers and 4 Meherrin Indians, and departed Germanna on August 29, coming within sight of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the 31st. They continued upriver past today's Stanardsville, reaching the head of the Rappahannock on September 2. Fontaine recorded in his journal for September 5 that axemen had to clear the way along the path of what he called the "James River", but which was in fact a creek along the eastern slope named Swift Run, surrounded on all sides by steep mountain terrain. Swift Run is part of the James River drainage system. The expedition had followed the Rappahannock drainage system up to this point.
There they crossed the top ridge of the Blue Ridge mountains at Swift Run Gap (elevation 2,365 feet).
On September 6, 1716, they rode down into the Shenandoah Valley on the east side of Massanutten Mountain and reached the Shenandoah River, which they called the "Euphrates" near the current town of Elkton. There, they fired multiple volleys and drank special toasts of wine, brandy, and claret to the King and to Governor Spotswood, naming the two peaks after them.[1] The taller summit they called "Mount George", and the lesser, "Mount Spotswood".
On the banks of the river they buried a bottle, inside which they had put a paper whereby Spotswood claimed the place in the name of George I. On the 7th, the party returned home, reaching Germanna on the 10th.
After the journey, Spotswood gave each officer of the expedition a stickpin made of gold and shaped like a horseshoe on which he had inscribed the words in Latin "Sic jurat transcendere montes", which translates into English as "Thus he swears to cross the mountains." The horseshoes were encrusted with small stones and were small enough to be worn from a watch chain.[2] The members of Governor Spotswood's expedition soon became popularly known as the "Knights of the Golden Horseshoe."
Of the expedition members, only the following are known by name to have taken part: Lt. Governor Spotswood, John Fontaine, Robert Beverley, Jr., William Robertson, Dr. Robinson, Mr. Todd, James Taylor (great-grandfather of US President Zachary Taylor), Robert Brooke (grandfather of VA Governor Robert Brooke), George Mason III, Capt. Smith, William Clopton, Jr., (second son of William Clopton and Ann Booth Clopton)and Jeremiah Clouder.[3]
In a Richmond news article, dated 16 Feb 1901, honoring John Bacon Clopton, the grandson of William Clopton Jr.. The following is a copy of a handwritten statement, signed and sealed to be found among the John Bacon Clopton papers at Duke University Library, Durhan North Caroline: There was in my father's possession a golden horseshoe which the tradition of the family said was worn by William Clopton Jr.. That is had 7 Diamonds set in it the place of nailheads, was inscribed on one side "Sic Juvat Trancsenderi Montes" and on the other "William Clopton, Knight." That as a child I have had it laid in my hand to look at and that it was of a size to encircle the center of my palm. And that this horseshoe was stolen by Pickpocket Smith, a notorious character, who operated among fashionable of Richmond in 1842 or 3. Witness my hand and seal this ninth day of August, 1897. Signed: Joyce Wilkinson Wallace
[edit]

A commemorative plaque and pyramid-shaped stone at Swift Run Gap (at the south side of U.S. Highway 33 near the Skyline Drive overpass) mark the historic crossing of the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe.[5] The Skyline Drive and the Appalachian Trail both pass nearby as well.


Also at this location, a Virginia Historical Highway Marker, # D10 Knights of the Golden Horseshoe, is located. It reads:
On 5 Sept. 1716, in this region, it is believed Lieutenant Governor Alexander Spotswood and his party of government officials, gentry, Native Americans, soldiers, and servants crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains into the Shenandoah Valley. Their adventure into Virginia's western lands began at Germanna late in Aug. and ended when they returned there on 10 Sept. According to legend, Spotswood gave his companions small golden horseshoes on their return and the group became known as the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe. The journey has been fictionalized and mythologized in literature since the 19th century.

June 26, 1758 in New Kent County, Virginia². He married Mary Jarratt September 4, 1711 in St. Peter's Parish Church, New Kent County, Virginia³, daughter of Robert Jarratt and Mary.
There are many troubling elements regarding the listing of the children currently found in both the Lucy Erwin and Gene Clopton, Clopton genealogies. The Erwin book did not list Elizabeth or Richard. Gene Clopton notes the Parish Registry is mutilated, and Richard is listed as Richard son of Walter and Mary------, and concludes Richard "must be "Clopton" as no other Walter and Mary is known in St. Peter's Parish at the time." The registry notes the birth or baptism of Anne, a son, Mary, Walter, and Rob(ert). No proof has been offered that Walter (born 1720, died in infancy). Cordelia Belle Clopton, lists the children as Walter, Mary, Robert, Deve(reaux), Naomi, Margaret, and Anne. There is a strong belief that at least some of the children may belong to another Clopton male. There are a number of Clopton adults of this period who have not yet been connected with a family.
Children of Walter Clopton and Mary Jarratt are:

The land that he bequeathed to son John was purchased from Moses Booth Jr.and his wife SARAH (not the previously stated DIANA as some records mistakenly show as Moses Jr.'s wife) and given to LEWIS N. BRANCH from John Booth 'in his own right and as guardian to Ann and Patsey Booth April 1832' not LEWIS BOOTH as a Boothe microfilm and researcher states.

G0498A: Booth (Bouth) NAPIER [008]
Birth: 1 February 1692, New Kent County, Virginia, British North America
Christening: 1 October 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 1: Patrick NAPIER (1 February 1713, , Virginia, British North America - 23 August 1774, Albemarle County, Virginia, British North America) [M]: m. Martha CLAIBORNE (ABT 1715 - ?), ABT 1735, Albemarle County, Virginia, British North America
Child 2: Rene (or Reni) NAPIER I (1715, Virginia, British North America - 13 October 1750, Goochland County, Virginia, British North America) [M]: m. *Winifred CHAMPION (ABT 1720 - AFT 1748), ABT 1737
Child 3: Sarah NAPIER (ABT 1720, , Virginia, British North America - ABT 1756) [F]
Child 4: Robert NAPIER (ABT 1720 - ?) [M]
Child 5: Susannah NAPIER (ABT 1722, , Virginia, British North America - ?) [F]: m. Reuben Skelton BROWN, 11 June 1761, 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 7: Mary NAPIER (ABT 1724, , Virginia, British North America - ?) [F]
Child 8: Archibald NAPIER (ABT 1728, , Virginia, British North America - 1815, buried in Franklin County, Virginia) [M]
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.

BIOGRAPHY: Ann Moss was the only child [sic] of Alexander Moss (Will proved in Cumberland Co., Va.. later Powhatan Co. in 1772) and his wife, Elizabeth Clopton (Walker), born before 1682 (York Co., Va. records, Deed Book Vll, pg- 55). Elizabeth Clopton was the widow of William Walker who died 12 Sept. 1718 (St. Peters Parish Reg., New Kent Co., VA.) She was a daughter of William Clopton Gent. who was born in 1655 in County Essex, England. He was a son of Rev. William Clopton of Eastwood Co., Essex, and his wife, Elizabeth Sutcliffe. The Clopton line has been traced back to Edward I, King of England. It has been written that Sir Walter Clopton, one of our ancestors, signed the Magna Carta on 15 June 1215 In this the rights of the subjects are compelled to be respected by the authority and these rights proclaimed are a part of the constitution of every English speaking people. Kentwell Hall was the name of the Manor House of the Clopton Family in England. William Clopton, son of Elizabeth Clopton, must have been in Virginia by 1673 since his marriage to Am Booth, daughter of Robert Booth, occurred about that time. Am Booth was born in 1647 Her father, Robert Booth, was Clerk of York Co., Va. and a member of the House of Burgessess 1653-54. She was formerly the wife of Capt. Thomas Dennett whose will was proved 1 Aug. 1673, by whom she had four children.

Notes:

Hello Mr. Harris,

I have documented my line to Robert Booth. His daughter, Ann, married William Clopton. Their daughter, Elizabeth, married (1) William Walker, their son, William, married Jane Bays (father Peter was a Huguenot/Manakin). Jane and William had a daughter named Lydia who married John Warren Jackson and on down to me. Would you like any of this information? I am always happy to share.

Do you know if Robert Booth's father came to Jamestown? I notice there is a Robert Booth on that list.

Sincerely,

Dee Redkevitch Atlanta, GA Dee Redkevitch [deezee97@mindspring.com]

2. Waldegrave¹⁸ Clopton I (William¹⁷, William¹⁶, William¹⁵, Walter¹⁴, William¹³, Richard¹², William¹¹, John¹⁰, William⁹, Thomas⁸, Walter⁷, William⁶, Walter⁵, William⁴, Walter³, William², Guillaume¹ Peche, Lord Of Cloptunna and Dalham)^5,6 was born November 19, 1719 in New Kent County, Virginia⁷, and died April 13, 1786 in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, Virginia, probably^8,9. He married Unity Alford Abt. 1753 in Virginia. Marriage Bond was filed at the Cumberland Court House, daughter of John Alford and Grace. She was born December 16, 1724 in New Kent County, Virginia¹⁰, and died Aft. June 30, 1787 in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, Virginia, probably¹¹.
Children of Waldegrave Clopton and Unity Alford are:
+ 6 i. Waldegrave¹⁹ Clopton II, born November 11, 1755 in New Kent County, Virginia; died Bet. August 6, 1804 and February 11, 1822 in Virginia, probably.
+ 7 ii. Alford Clopton, of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent.
+ 8 iii. David Clopton, Sr., of St. Peter's Parish, born 1760 in New Kent County, Virginia; died Bef. July 3, 1823 in probably Henrico County, Virginia.

Waldegrave Clopton was a Captain in the American Revolution. Although his military records have not been found, it is safe to say he probably entered service by 1776. He was a Captain by the time his younger brother, Thomas, joined him on the battlefield in early 1778. Thomas mentions him several times in his application to receive a pension for his service.

9 iv. Thomas Clopton, of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent¹², born February 10, 1762 in New Kent County, Virginia; died Aft. December 12, 1833 in Henrico County, Virginia, probably.
Thomas was about sixteen years old when he entered the American Revolution as a substitute, a Private, no less. His father, who could well afford to set him up with horses, weapons, and all the fine accouterments a gentleman required to enter battle, possibly did not want to send his youngest son to war. Like his great-grandfather, William, who defied his well-to-do father and apprenticed himself to finance his trip to America, Thomas no doubt was determined to join his elder brothers as the fledgling nation fought for independence.
10 v. Unity Clopton, of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent. She married Massie.
Her brother, Thomas, mentions his sister, Massie, "a widow" in his application for pension for his service during the American Revolutionary War. It is not clear if her first name was Massie or if she married a Massie.
11 vi. Frances Clopton, of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent.
Frances Clopton is a witness to an indenture (GS Film 031793 (7566 Pt. 3) Vol. 2, page 467) between Unity Clopton and Tarpley White. It is not clear what relationship Frances Clopton has with this family. More research is necessary. A copy of this indenture is located in the Clopton Family Archives.
12 vii. Lyddall Clopton, of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent.
It has not been established that Lyddall Clopton is the son of Waldegrave Clopton, Jr. A Lyddall Clopton and Alford Clopton, witnessed an indenture (GS Film 031796 (7566 pt. 6) Book 8, page 605), which is located in the Clopton Family Archives, dated June 17, 1809. The indenture is between David Clopton and his wife, Mary Ann Vanderwall, of the County of Henrico. David named one of his sons, Alford. It may be that Lyddall is his son and not his brother.
13 viii. William Clopton, of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent¹².
William Clopton is in the New Kent Military Class Number 22 in 1782.

. Ann¹⁸ Clopton, of New Kent (Walter¹⁷, William¹⁶, William¹⁵, Walter¹⁴, William¹³, Richard¹², William¹¹, John¹⁰, William⁹, Thomas⁸, Walter⁷, William⁶, Walter⁵, William⁴, Walter³, William², Guillaume¹ Peche, Lord Of Cloptunna and Dalham) was born July 3, 1712 in New Kent County, Virginia¹⁰. She married Benjamin Bradley, of Charles City, son of Joseph Bradley, of Charles City County, Virginia. He was born 1708 in Charles City County, Virginia, and died 1768.
No proof has been found that Ann Clopton married anyone or had any children. The theory of a possible Bradley-Clopton connection has been carefully researched by Frank Bradley, the former Genealogical Specialist, New York Public Library. After extensive research on the Bradley Family, it is his opinion that a very strong case can be made supporting this marriage based on several points:
1. Walter Clopton (her father) was named guardian of Jesse, Susannah & Elizabeth Bradley; 2. Saint Peter's Parish Registry lists the children of Benjamin and Ann Bradley; 3. the similarity of given names of the children of Walter Clopton & Benjamin Bradley; 4. Bradleys married into the Clopton and Jarratt families; and, 5. The Rev. Devereux Jarratt (1733-1801) wrote "my uncle was the first who had that name (Devereux) in Virginia." The Rev. Devereux may have been named after Devereux Clopton, his "Clopton" Uncle, or he may have been speaking of Devereux Jarratt, his "Jarratt" uncle. See "Walking the Primrose Path," Volume I, for more on the Devereux family.

He married Cassandra Crump, daughter of Richard Crump. She was born Abt. April 29, 1720¹⁵.
There is no proof that Cassandra's last name is "Crump." There were many members of the Crump family attending St. Peter's Parish Church. However, no evidence has been submitted to date to further strengthen this Crump connection, although some descendants believe she was a member of the Crump family.
