Colonial Surry COLONIAL SURRY BY JOHN B. BODDIE Baltimore SOUTHERN BOOK COMPANY 1959 COPYlUGHT, 1948 BY JOHN BENNETT BODDIE Ill PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATE'S OP AMl!B.ICA COLONIAL SURRY Dedicmed to My Grtmdchildren ARTHUR BENNETT SHATTUClC MARY ANNE SHATTUCK. JOHN BENNETT BODDIE IV PAUL JOHN BODDIE MARY ELIZABETH BODDIE PREFACE .THIS :~ok w.as begun in 193~ soon after Seven~eenth Century Isle of Wtght County· was published. The first eight chapters were written in 1938-39. The outbreak of the war caused the removal of the writer to the Hawaiian Islands and brought about a temporary suspension. Work was resumed in 1943. The manuscript reached such proportions tha:t it seemed too large to publish in one volume. Seventeenth Century bulked too large and had too many pages. So it was decided to separate this work into -two or three volumes. The next one, which is nearly complete, will contain about seven hundred pages and will be entitled Colonial, Families of Surry "1/d Sussex. Many thanks are due to the Librarian of Newberry Library who granted the writer a shelf permit to roam at will through the book • stacks and also to Mr. Joseph Wolf, head of the Genealogical Depart­ ment, for their very great 11,Ssistance. Mrs. Charles E. Davis of Smithfield, Virginia, kindly furnished the list of Surry land grants dating from 1666 to 1740. Miss Lorine Wilkins of Honolulu kindly re-typed many of the pages herein. Miss Yoshiko Kobashigawa of Honolulu also typed some of the chapters. Miss Elizabeth Bass of the Virginia State Library rendered invalu.able aid in deciphering some of the early records. Dr. B. C. Holtzclaw kindly contributed the chapter on "Bacon's Rebellion" from original sources as the writer was unable to go to Sur51 County. Mr. W. A. Graham Oark of Washington, D. C. contributed the "list of Tithables" and Mr. James G. W. MacClamroch of Greensboro, N. C. contributed the documents from which the chapter entitled "The Warren House" was compiled. All three of these gentlemen also furnished many of the family accounts which will appear in the ne~t volume. Many thanks .are due to them, and to others who will be mentioned hereafter for their very able assistance. The next volume will contain the early records of more than a bun- vii PREFACE dred Surry and Sussex families, descendants of persons who were gran•ted land in the two counties and held all of the offices during the Colonial period. It is seemingly the prevalent idea that we won our freedom from Great Britain at a single stroke. From these pages it will be seen that the colonists began their slow march toward the "Four Freedoms" at an early date and had achieved them in a great measure before the Revolution. JOHN B. BODDIE.

Contr.ary to this idea, among the leaders of the Jamestown expedition were some of the hardest bitten men of Queen Elizabeth's time. Captain Newport, the admiral of the first expedition, was one of Elizabeth's greatest sea-captains. Sailors of his kind were not afr.aid of either the perils of the deep or of the Spaniards. The boldest and most venturesome men of their day were the sea­ captains of Queen Elizabeth. They were the terror of the Spaniards upon the high seas and had victoriously led many a forlorn hope against their great fleets. In a short time they made English naval power supreme upon the seas and thus enabled England to colonize far off lands like Virginia. These sea-captains created a new style of fighting which changed the character of nav.al warfare and with it the history of the world. Spanish war-vessels had been built with the idea that had come down through the ages which was that they were only carriers of men and their v_alue as ships was measured mainly by the number of soldiers they could carry on board. Hence, the great galleons of the Spanish which were built to throw an overwhelming force upon the decks of smaller enemy ships. It was soldiers and not sailors they depended upon to win their naval fights. Spanish ships, since the drays of Columbus, had sailed the warm Southern waters, bringing back to Spain the treasures of the West Indies, Central and South America. This wealth had made Spain the mightiest nation of its day. English sailors had been forced aw.ay from the Southern seas and had been trying to find a Northwest passage to the East Indies through the icebergs of the North Atlantic. Of necessity they had to build smaller and stauncher ships than the Spaniards. Their efforts to find a Northwest passage were futile. Baffled in their endeavor to escape by way of the North they timidly ventured towards the South and wher­ ever they encountered the Spaniards they were surprised and even elated by their success. Their small ships were better designed for sailing and were far 2 COLONIAL SURRY superior in maneuvering. They could literally sail "rings around" the Spaniards. Ships themselves ,and their guns became the offensive weapons and not the number of men aboard them. Of what value was a great ship if it could be sunk before its land soldiers could be used as boarders. Gunnery became of prime importance, and in our time Dewey ,at Manila only repeated with ease the master-gunnery Elizabeth's sea-captains had used against The Armada. Chasing the Spaniards soon became a sport and a commercial venture as well. "Let the Spaniards have the trouble of gathering in the treasures," said the English merchant adventurers, "and we will gather the treasure from the gatherers." Fleets began to sail from English ports with the sole object of preying upon the great treasure-coffers which were being wafted lazily from the Indies. In 1S91 some merchants of the City of London equipped and sent forth ,a fleet of four vessels, under the command of Captain Christopher Newport, to prey upon the treasure ships and rich cities in the West Indies. John Twitt, a corporal on board the Golden Dragon on this voyage, wrote an account of the expedition entitled, "A True Report of a Voyage undertaken by M. Christopher Newport, General of ,a Fleet of Three Ships and a Pinnace, viz., the Golden Dragon, Admiral there­ of was Captain Newport himself; the Prudence Vice Admiral, under the conduct of Captain Hugh Merrick; the Margaret under Capt.ain Robert Freed; and the Virgin, our Hnnace under Captain Henry Kidgil." 1 Twitt says, "Having a favorable wind, the 4th of April, 1 S92, we fell with Dominica in the West Indies, * * * where we bartered with savages for tobacco.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

E.NEW YORK .Lie LIBRARY rs526390 Copyright 1901 by Edgar Woods. • -• THE MicHiE Company, Printers, Charlottesville, Va. 1901. PREFACE. An examination of the records of the county for some in- formation, awakened curiosity in regard to its early settle- ment, and gradually led to a more extensive search. The fruits of this labor, it was thought, might be worthy of notice, and productive of pleasure, on a wider scale. There is a strong desire in most men to know who were their forefathers, whence they came, where they lived, and how they were occupied during their earthly sojourn. This desire is natural, apart from the requirements of business, or the promptings of vanity. The same inquisitiveness is felt in regard to places. Who first entered the farms that checker the surrounding landscape, cut down the forests that once covered it, and built the habitations scattered over its bosom? With the young, who are absorbed in the engagements of the present and the hopes of the future, this feeling may not act with much energy ; but as they advance in life, their thoughts turn back with growing persistency to the past, and they begin to start questions which perhaps there is no means of answering.

HJST. survey Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/englishduplicateOOdesc English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr. © 1958, Louis des Cognets, Jr. P.O. Box 163 Princeton, New Jersey This book is dedicated to my grandmother ANNA RUSSELL des COGNETS in memory of the many years she spent writing two genealogies about her Virginia ancestors \ i FOREWORD This book was compiled from material found in the Public Record Office during the summer of 1957. Original reports sent to the Colonial Office from Virginia were first microfilmed, and then transcribed for publication. Some of the penmanship of the early part of the 18th Century was like copper plate, but some was very hard to decipher, and where the same name was often spelled in two different ways on the same page, the task was all the more difficult. May the various lists of pioneer Virginians contained herein aid both genealogists, students of colonial history, and those who make a study of the evolution of names. In this event a part of my debt to other abstracters and compilers will have been paid. Thanks are due the Staff at the Public Record Office for many heavy volumes carried to my desk, and for friendly assistance. Mrs. William Dabney Duke furnished valuable advice based upon her considerable experience in Virginia research. Mrs .Olive Sheridan being acquainted with old English names was especially suited to the secretarial duties she faithfully performed.

Edwin Sandys or Sandes was born in the year 1519, near Havvkshead, in the part of Lancashire called Furness Fells. He was the third son of William Sandys, Esq. and Margaret his wife, a descendant of the ancient barons of Kendal. As Easthwaite Hall was the principal resi- dence of the father, it is probable that it was in this house that Edwin first saw the light. It is not certainly known at what seminary the future archbishop received the rudiments of his education : it has however been conjectured with some plausibility by a bio- grapher that, as the school of Furness Abbey was then highly distinguished, and as his family were feudatories of that house, he was a pupil of the monks.

  • A Short History of Skidaway Island
    A SHORT HISTORY OF SKIDAWAY ISLAND Digital Edition 2021 V.E. KELLY When A Short History of Skidaway Island was originally published in 1980, negro was still an accepted term by many. In consultation with the University of Georgia Scholarly Publishing Services, the decision was made to replace negro with black or African American in the 2021 edition of the book, except when the word is used in quotations from historic documents. Although these changes were made, the book is still a product of its time, and some of the language and concepts used herein may be considered inappropriate by today’s readers. Nevertheless, the work is reproduced in an effort to present a record of historical significance that we hope sparks conversation on these issues, as well as to share the book’s important documentation of Skidaway’s natural, geological, and human history. ISBN 978-0-8203-6073-7 ABOUT THIS DIGITAL EDITION For all those who live on, work on or visit Skidaway Island, this history is illuminating and we are in debt to the late V. E. Kelly (1915–2008) for his work on the project. Long out of print, this 2021 digital edition is made possible by the University of Georgia Scholarly Publishing Services, sponsored by UGA Marine Extension & Sea Grant under the leadership of Dr. Mark Risse who leads the Marine Education Center and Aquarium and the Shellfish Research lab and Oyster Hatchery on UGA’s Skidaway campus. They share this University of Georgia campus with the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography on the north end of Skidaway Island and it is an important site for marine research, education and outreach.
