Founder Burial Sites in Virginia Founder Burial Sites In Virginia Forward This book is presented by the Virginia Society of the Order of Founders and Patriots of America. Virginia burials of male person who resided in Virginia prior to 13 May 1657. Some individuals do not qualify as Founders under the rules of the Order of Founders and Patriots of America. We decided to include their names because they contributed to the history of the Commonwealth of Virginia before 13 May 1657. This document is a work in progress as names will be removed and added as additional references become available. Some names might not even have references but are being inserted as they are being worked on. This project started in 2007 by Mike Lyman as he discovered Founders' Burial Sites in Virginia. Most of the men identified meet the Order of The Founders and Patriots of America requirement to be considered a Founder. All were in the Colonies, specifically Virginia before May 13, 1657. Consequently, many of the references are specifically to prove the arrival or presence before May 13, 1657. This work has been edited/data entry by Past Virginia Governor Jerry Hubbard. Corrections or additions may be mailed to: Donnel J. Hubbard, 200 Elmwood Drive, Culpeper, VA 22701-4028 or emailed to [email protected].

He was first cousin once removed from Nathaniel Bacon, Jr. "the Rebel." He graduated from Cambridge and came to Virginia in 1650, where he settled first in Isle of White County, then at "King's Creek." York County, on one of the first tracts of land patented on the York River. He was chosen member of the council in 1657, but held office for only a year. He was a burgess for York County in 1658-1659, and was reappointed to the council in 1660. He received an appointment to auditor general March 12, 1675, resigning in December 1687. He was president of the council, and was acting governor during the absence of Lord Howard in 1684-1690. Colonel Bacon's health was very feeble at this time, and he died March 16, 1692. As he had no children, he bequeathed his estate to his niece Abigail Smith, who married Major Lewis Burwell, of Gloucester County, VA. NOTES: His tombstone was in this area until the late 1800s when the owner of the property at the time discovered it hallen over in a field. He moved the tombstone from the field to the road which led to the Ringfield plantation house. At the turn of the century, this ancient tombstone was relocated to Bruton Parish Church in Williamsburg, VA. It remains there at the wall of the Church tower.

INTRODUCTION For most of England’s North American empire, the restoration of Charles II to the nation’s throne in 1660 quickly led to a sharp break in the continuity of the legal system. In New England, the crown began to interfere with local legal ordering in ways unprecedented since Plymouth had been founded in 1620. In the Middle Atlantic, the Restoration led to a new imperialism that replaced Dutch rule and Dutch law with English rule and English common law. In the Carolinas, Charles II’s new policies led to the founding of two new colonies.

  • The History of the Jamestown Colony: Seventeenth-Century and Modern Interpretations
    The History of the Jamestown Colony: Seventeenth-Century and Modern Interpretations A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with research distinction in History in the undergraduate colleges of the Ohio State University By Sarah McBee The Ohio State University at Mansfield June 2009 Project Advisor: Professor Heather Tanner, Department of History Introduction Reevaluating Jamestown On an unexceptional day in December about four hundred years ago, three small ships embarked from an English dock and began the long and treacherous voyage across the Atlantic. The passengers on board envisioned their goals – wealth and discovery, glory and destiny. The promise of a new life hung tantalizingly ahead of them. When they arrived in their new world in May of the next year, they did not know that they were to begin the journey of a nation that would eventually become the United States of America. This summary sounds almost ridiculously idealistic – dream-driven achievers setting out to start over and build for themselves a better world. To the average American citizen, this story appears to be the classic description of the Pilgrims coming to the new world in 1620 seeking religious freedom. But what would the same average American citizen say to the fact that this deceptively idealistic story actually took place almost fourteen years earlier at Jamestown, Virginia? The unfortunate truth is that most people do not know the story of the Jamestown colony, established in 1607.1 Even when people have heard of Jamestown, often it is with a negative connotation. Common knowledge marginally recognizes Jamestown as the colony that predates the Separatists in New England by more than a dozen years, and as the first permanent English settlement in America.

  • Chapter 2 Yeardley's Fort (44Pg65)
    CHAPTER 2 YEARDLEY'S FORT (44PG65) INTRODUCTION In this chapter the fort and administrative center of Flowerdew at 44PG65 are examined in relation to town and fortification planning and the cultural behavior so displayed (Barka 1975, Brain et al. 1976, Carson et al. 1981; Barka 1993; Hodges 1987, 1992a, 1992b, 1993; Deetz 1993). To develop this information, we present the historical data pertaining to town development and documented fortification initiatives as a key part of an overall descriptive grid to exploit the ambiguity of the site phenomena and the historic record. We are not just using historic documents to perform a validation of archaeological hypotheses; rather, we are trying to understand how small-scale variant planning models evolved regionally in a trajectory away from mainstream planning ideals (Beaudry 1988:1). This helps refine our perceptions of this site. The analysis then turns to close examination of design components at the archaeological site that might reveal evidence of competence or "mental template." These are then also factored into a more balanced and meaningful cultural interpretation of the site. 58 59 The site is used to develop baseline explanatory models that are considered in a broader, multi-site context in Chapter 3. Therefore, this section will detail more robust working interpretations that help lay the foundations for the direction of the entire study. In short, learning more about this site as a representative example of an Anglo-Dutch fort/English farmstead teaches us more about many sites struggling with the same practical constraints and planning ideals that Garvan (1951) and Reps (1972) defined.

Their leadership came from the religious congregations of Brownist English Dissenters who had fled the volatile political environment in the East Midlands of England for the relative calm and tolerance of Holland in the Netherlands. Concerned with losing their cultural identity, the group later arranged with English investors to establish a new colony in North America. The colony, established in 1620, became the second successful English settlement (after the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607) and later the oldest continuously inhabited British settlement in what was to become the United States of America. The Pilgrims' story of seeking religious freedom has become a central theme of the history and culture of the United States. History Separatists in Scrooby The core of the group that would come to be known as the Pilgrims were brought together by a common belief in the ideas promoted by Richard Clyfton, a Brownist parson at All Saints' Parish Church in Babworth, Nottinghamshire, between 1586 and 1605.

    SOUTHERN KITH AND KIN Dear Scarborough researches: First I wanted to just tell you ahead of time, it did take me quite awhile to put this together. I typed word for word what is "Southern kith and kin". I hope that you enjoy it and find what you are looking for. More than likely if you're family names are in this book we're related. The index will be off slightly since the font originally used doesn't exit any more so please be patient with that. Also, I've changed this document into an Adobe Acrobat file for one main reason, and that is because not everyone has Microsoft word and Adobe Acrobat reader is free online. I've also added a link to my personal rendering of the Scarborough coat of arms. I hope that you enjoy this book as much as I did. Sincerely, Stephen T.

  • JAMESTOWN, Founding of a Nation and the Anglican Communion
    JAMESTOWN, Founding of a Nation and the Anglican Communion ...by Rev. Richard W. Davies How did the Anglican Communion begin? The simple answer is to note the beginning of a parish church outside of the British Isles. That answer will take us to Jamestown, Virginia, and the year of our Lord, 1607. In 1603, one of King James I interests was to colonize a new part of the world. The King was encouraged by the Rev. Richard Hakluyt, and priest of the Church of England, as an explorer and geographer. So the King issued letter patent to English businessmen to form a business venture called the Virginia Company (name for Elizabeth I, the “virgin queen.”) and to found a settlement and an English parish in the new world of America. The King named Hakluyt as the rector, and he named an English priest, Robert Hunt, to be his vicar and chaplain to the Virginia Company. Robert Hunt was born about 1560. He had been the vicar of the parish of Reculver in Kent, the historic church which marked the landing of St. Augustine in 597 and the first Christian settlement in England brought from Europe. He later was the Vicar of Heathfield, in Sussex. On December 19, 1606, three ships, Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery left England for the new colony. The journey was storm-tossed and therefore delayed. Hunt almost died from illness, but he continued to minister to the irritable crew and businessmen. Hunt alone was shown respect and trust. On April 19, 1607, the expedition touched American land and they erected a cross, prayed at a point they called Cape Henry.

Reid, Hartford, Connecticut The Church of England in Colonial Virginia by Edgar Legare Pennington, S. T. D. The first efforts of the English to colonise Virginia had the support and co-operation of the Church of England clergy. Cap- tain Bartholomew Gosnold, who had made a voyage to Virginia in 1602, was so impressed with the prospects of development that he solicited assistance from his friends in a settlement of the country. "After some Years spent in vain, he at last prevailed with Capt. John Smith, Mr. Edward-Maria Wingfield, the Rev. Mr. Robert Hunt, and divers others to join in the Undertaking."^ On account of the burden and expense involved, he applied to the nobility, the gentry, and the merchants, who responded. Among those who were enthusiastic for the project we find the Reverend Richard Hakluyt, prebendary of Westminster and one of the world's most celebrated compilers of narratives of discovery and exploration.
