Leftwich-Turner Families of Virginia Their Connections Leftwich-Turner Families of Virginia and Their Connections by WALTER LEE HOPKINS A.B.,LL. B. Author of "Hopkins of Vu-ginia and Related Families." Member vf the Virginia Historical Society, American Bar Association, Virginia State Bar Association, Richmond Bar Association, etc. J. W. Fergusson &: Sons Print.en Rlcbmond. Vir,cinia 19lll Copyright, 1931 Walter Lee'" Hopkins Kkhmollcl, Vbslnla LEFTWICH-TURNER FAMILIES OF VIRGINIA and THEIR CONNECTIONS WU.LIAll LEFl'WICH TL"RXER HOPKlXS To My Father William Leftwich Turner Hopkins Son of Dr. William Leftwich Turner Hopkins and Julia Ann Muse. grandson of John Hopkins and Mary Turner, great grandson of Reverend James Turner and Sarah Leftwich, great great grandson of Colonel William Leftwich and Elizabeth Haynes PREFACE earlier records of the Leftwich family were se­ ured by the compiler over a period of many years and until quite recently, with the idea in view of in­ uding such records in his book, "Hopkins of V:ir­ gmia and Related Families." However, during his • prolonged research, he accumulated so many records on both the Hopkins and Leftwich families that he found it imprac­ ticable to combine the information on both in one volume if later generations were included; hence, he decided to publish a separate book to embody all discovered Leftwich descendants, especially those surnamed "Leftwich." Probably no family in Vll'gin.ia as prominent as the Leftwich in shaping the early history of Virginia has received so scant attention from historians and genealogists. From the hundreds of histories, genealogies and articles examined by the compiler of this record, there has been discovered only one printed article, entitled "Leftwich Lineage and Arms," consisting of about two newspaper columns, which appeared in the BaJ,ti.more Sun in 1904. Augustine Leftwich, Sr., who removed from Caroline County, V:irginia, to Bedford County, Virginia, had eight sons and four daughters. His eldest son, William, was Captain in the Colonial Wars and Colonel in the Revolutionary War; Thomas was a Cap­ tain in the Revolutionary War and later Colonel of Militia; Augus­ tine was a Captain in the Revolutionary War and later a Major in the Virginia Militia; Uriah was an Ensign in the Revolutionary War and later a Captain of Militia; John was a Sergeant in the Revolutionary War and later a Captain in the Virginia Militia; Littleberry was a Major in the War of 1812 and later Colonel in the Virginia Militia; Joel was a Captain in the Revolutionary War, Brigadier General in the War of 1812 and was elected Major General of the Virginia Militia in 1822 by the General Assembly of Virginia; Jabez was Colonel in the Revolutionary War, later promoted to Brigadier General and represented his District in the United States Congress for two terms. His daughter, Mary, mar­ ried Joshua Early and they were the parents of Bishop John Early and ancestors of other distinguished descendants. Members of the Leftwich family have held prominent offices, not only in Vir­ ginia but in practically every Southern State. In Virginia, three of the name are known to have served in the Colonial Wars, ten in the War of 1812, fifty-one in various capacities in the War Between the States, and nineteen in the World War. Truly, a vii wonderful record-yet, so far as the compiler has been able to discover, three or four pages contain everything that bas pre­ viously appeared in print. with reference to this family. The writer believes that a genealogical work should give the records of the families treated in a brief and succinct manner, with reference wherever possible. He does not think it is the province of a geneAlogist to fill his pages with beautiful phrases in praise of the members of the family of which he has only the knowledge gleaned from the records, and thus sacrifice facts and records in an attempt to display literary style. He believes that the genealogist should only record facts obtained from public docu­ ments and well-authenticated private records-he should give all data secured concerning all members of the family treated, re­ gardless of their walk in life, paying particular attention to dates and places of births, marriages and deaths as far as possible, and this should be done without eulogy or criticism, allowing the reader to draw his own deductions concerning those dealt with. In the preparation of this book, the w:riter has investigated every known source of information. It is compiled mainly from the Court records of various Virginia counties, official documents in the Virginia State Library, Virginia Historical Society, Virginia Bureau of Vital Statistics, Library of Congress, Bureau of Pen­ sions, the War Department, family records, biographies, genealo­ gies, private correspondence, and the like. He has investigated and consulted them all so far as he is aware of their existence and, when possible, the wording of the various documents and records has been retained as found. The writer realizes the incompleteness of this work, but since it is believed that practically all persons by the name "Leftwich" in America are descended from Ralph Leftwich, who patented lands in New Kent County, Virginia, in 1658, it is his desire and wish to identify and place every one of the name. With this in view, he hopes the readers will report to him any errors found and t} at the Leftwich descendants will send him full records of their fa.milies. If the additional materid received is sufficient to justify it, he will, at some future date, publish a supplement to this vol­ ume; but if the pub!ication of such a supplement is found impracti­ cable, he will nuke the corrections and turn the data received over to the Virginia Historical Society, so that it may be available to all who may be interested in it. Since, apparently, there has been so little interest taken hereto­ fore in this prominent family, the reader may correctly infer that the writer has received very little co-operation from a large ma­ jority of its members. However, there is one brilliant exception, and it is with pleas:.a-e that he acknowledges his special i!ldebted­ ness to Mr. Frederick-Leftwich, of 420 Lexington Avenue, New viii York City, for his most valuable services in not only sec:iring the records of his branch of the family but, also, a great number of English records. Without his encouragement and support, both moral and financial, it is unlikely that this work would have been published, certainiy not in the complete form in which it is pre­ sented. He wishes, also, to express his sincere thanks and appre­ ciation to the other members of the family who have so generously helped him in his arduous but pleasant task, and he hopes that they will feel ~mply rewarded for the assistance they have ren­ dered.

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.

The assessment has been undertaken as a preliminary stage to inform a possible programme of fieldwork. The study area is believed to lie on the site of Leftwich Old Hall, established by the early 14th century when the family name of Leftwich was in use by the lord of the manor. The hall included a stone tower, believed to be of late medieval date, and there is also evidence for a moat, again probably dating to the medieval period.

  • THE PRYOR FAMILY Virginia
    THE PRYOR FAMILY As published in Virginia Magazine of History and Biography Volume 7, Number 1, July 1899 Volume 7, Number 2, October 1899 Volume 7, Number 3, January 1900 [I added some names in brackets and numbering for children to improve clarity in reading] On account of the destruction of county records, this account of the PRYORs must be at present rather a collection of data than a connected and complete account of the family, though it is hoped the publication will elicit information which will enable it to be completed. The earliest land grant to one of the name is dated in 1689, to Mr. ROBERT PRYOR, for 309 acres at the head of Craney creek, Ware Parish, Gloucester County; 92 acres, of which, was granted to Thomas Jefferson (who is he?) April 1, 1668, and by him deserted and afterwards granted to Robert Collis, who on April 21, 1689 assigned to ROBERT PRYOR. On October 29, 1693, Mr. ROBERT PRYOR had a grant for 92 acres on Craney Creek, Gloucester. The next grants were much later, one October 15, 1741 to PHILIP PRYOR for 386 acres in Amelia County, between the branches of Great and Little Nottoway rivers, and another to WILLIAM PRYOR, September 5, 1762 for 350 acres in Amherst County, on Pedlar river. I am indebted to Judge James T.
