SOME WINGFIELD GENEALOGICAL NJTES Hanover County
contributed by WILLIAM LYNN WINGFIELD, M.D.
~Virginia Magazine of History and Biography (April 1952), Volume 60, Number 2, published an article by John Goodwin Herndon entitled "Thomas Wingfield (1670-1720) of York River, Virginia: His Ancestry and Some of his Virginia and Georgia Descendants." Mr Herndon stated in his article that Thomas, the emigrant, had two sons, of whom John had "an only known son" named Charles.
The :following notes were made by the Reverend Spottswood Harvey Johnson, a Methodist minister, :from information given to him by his grandfather Joseph Spottswood Wingfield, grandson of Charles Wingfield, who was himself a son of John. These notes explain the Wingfield tamily in Hanover County, and should be considered an addition to Herndon's article. Herewith follows the text of the manuscript notes.
"Concerning John Wingfield and some of his descendants. In the early 18th century he lived in Hanover County on a :farm called ''Walnut Shade." The :farm extended from what is now the Court House--Ashland road on the north to and across North Mechumps Creek to the South Mechumps. It is about 2 miles from the Court House and :five miles from Ashland. (The Court House dates :from 1732; Ashland :from about 1850). The buildings stood back about 4 or 500 yards :from the road. The road that now runs so close to the dwelling is a short cut, started "after the war," when rail fences no longer stopped trespassers About 1860 or 1861 at the death of its owner Joe ''Horney" Wingfield, the place was sold at auction to a Fredericksburg man as a safe investment for those troublous times. The house was unoccupied :for several years during and after the war.

After death of Barnaby McKinne, Ann, his wife, m8.rried Seth Prior. 1 762- Nicholas Long and wife, Mary and others sued Robert Ricks, Seth Prior and his wife, executors of Barnaby McKinne. (Col. Records of N. C., v. 6, p759) 2. Mary McKinne married Nicholas Long before 1762. She was not mentioned in the will of her brother, Barnaby. 3. Patience McKinne married John Geddy (Gaddy) before 1767, when the land of her deceased brother, Barnaby, was divided among his three sisters. 4. Martha McKinne was still a minor in 1767, when she re ceived through her guardian, Joseph Montfort, one-third of the land of her deceased brother, Barnaby (Division Tripartite, Halifax Bk. 10, p. 28). She married Charles Pasteur. 5. John McKinne, born after his father's death. He evi dently died very young as he is not mentioned in any of the numerous guardianship proceedings, nor in his brother1 s will and in the division of his brother's lands. In 1751, his father, John McKinne of Edgecombe Co., gave negroes to his children, Barnaby, Mary, Patience, and Martha. (Halifax Bk. 4, p. 152) John3 McKinne made his will in 1753. Montford Eelbeck was one of the executors, and the will was witnessed by Montford and Mary Eelbeck. In 1757, Montford Eulbeck, Benjamin Hardy and Wm. Richmond were appointed to auc:iit the accounts of Barna Pope, guardian of the orphans of John McKinney. Mary McKinne, wife of John, made her v.ji.ll in 1754, naming her da\lghter, Angeliny Pope; sons John and Barna by; daus. Mary, Patience, and Martha McKinne. In 1758, Barnaby4 McKinne, son of William3 McKinne, was guardian of Barnaby the younger, son of John McKinne. Of John McKinne 1 s two sons, John died in infancy and Barnaby left no children. This seems to be the end of the male of Ba'rnaby2 McKinne. IV. Richard3, m. Mary Kinchen and died in 1755 without issue. His widow married Blake Baker. l v. Robert3, m. Martha.

Baltimore GENEALOGICAL PUBLISHING COMPANY 1965 Prop~rty O l: SAN AN'I'ONIO GENEALOGICAL & HISTORICAL SO~IETY JONES The coat-of-arms of this family, as given by Robert Jones, Attorney-general of North Carolina, who was a descendant, was: Ermine three Lions (Wm. and Mary Quarterly, 1st Series, 19, p. 291). These are the arms of the Jones family of Kent and London. The first positively known ancestor of the family was James Jones of Charles City and Prince George Cos. , who was born about 1640-42 and died at an advanced age in Prince George Co. in 1719. James Jones was first granted land in Charles City Co. March 1, 1663 (Nugent, p. 504), his land being very close to that of Rev. Richard Jones, who may have been his father. However, it seems slightly more probable that both these men were sons of David Jones, b. 1594, d. in Charles City Co. between 1665 and 1673, who was settled in Virginia as early as 1624 (cf. Hotten, p. 214; Nugent, pp 25, 167, 535; Order Book 1655-65, pp. 104, 343, 529; Order Book 1672 /4, p. 524). The above references show that David Jones had a son John, who died in 1657 and left a son John; and two daughters Mary and Ann; but since his land was in the Parish of Weyanoke, close to that of James Jones and Rev. Richard Jones, it is not improbable that they were, also, his sons. The names David and Richard were both perpetuated in the family of James Jones. James Jones is mentioned in the will of Christopher Lewis, dated Sept. 1, 1673, and probated Oct. 20, 1673, in Surry Co. , who left a legacy to Mary Jones, daughter of James Jones, and appointed Mr. Jones his executor (Surry D. & W. 1672-84, p. 35). As executor, he deeded away the land that had belonged to Mr. Lewis July 7, 1696 (D. & W. 1693-1709, p. 99). The above may indicate a relationship to Mr. Lewis, perhaps through James Jones' first wife, whose name is otherwise unknown. The wife, Sarah Jones, referred to in his will, was probably his second wife and not the mother of his children. James Jones was again granted land in Charles City Co., in Weyanoke Parish in 1683 and 1684, and he had a grant in Surry Co. in 1702 (Grants Bks., 7, p. 329, p. 488; 9, p. 497). The will of James Jones, dated April 6, 1719, and probated in Prince George Co. May 12, 1719, leaves his property to "my lov ing wife and my wife's two sons"; daughter Mary Darden and her 317 ...,-· 318 319 son Charles Williams; daughters Elizabeth, Hannah, and Rebecca; IV.

James Jones II, son of James Jones, married Rebecca __ , CHAPTER ONE WILLIAM COOK(E) (1615-1679) Immigrant to America Landed Proprietor of Virginia and JOHN PERSON(S) (circa 1630-1707) Immigrant to America Planter of Virginia WLUAM CooKE was born in England in 1615 in the twelfth year of the reign of James I. On July 4, 1635, he sailed from London on the Trans port, and the record of his passage states he was twenty years old and a member of the Church of England.1 The Virginia colony was now twenty-eight years old, had about eight thousand inhabitants, and was well established. At this time, the Virginia tobacco was bringing high prices on the European market, so that the planters made it their principal crop. William Cook ( e) settled in Isle of Wight County, where he owned lands on the Blackwater River, and married (probably about the year 1638) Mary (Miles?). If we make an effort to visualize the life of William and Mary Cook on their tobacco plantation during this period, a picture of the Virginia of 1642 given by one historian2 may be of interest: The wives and daughters of the well-to-do planters wore dresses of silk and satin, trimmed with lace imported from England and of the latest London styles . . . . Food was abundant and in great variety. Beef, pork and mutton were at hand from the plantation stock. Venison called only for a gun. Wild geese, ducks and turkeys crowded the .swampland. The rivers were full of fish of many kinds. Sugar, spices and other delicacies came in with every ship, as did also wines, brandy and rum. 1John Camden Hotten, The Original Lists of Persons of Quality, etc., 1600-1700 (London: John Camden Hotten, 1874), p. 101. 2Roy V. Coleman, The First Frontier (New York: Charles Scribners' Sons, 1948), pp. 275-277. (Quoted with permission of the publishers.) 1 Consternation, however, briefly interrupted this abundant life in April, . 1644, when Opechancanough, Chief of the Powhatan Confederacy, plotted the massa cre of every white in Virginia. In plan, the massacre was similar to that which he had carried out in 1622, when between three hundred and four hundred colonists were killed. The Indians became unduly friendly with the colonists over a long period of time, so that there would be no suspicion of their plot. Then, simultaneously they made their attack along a hundred-mile front. The Indians were repulsed, but about four hundred colonists had been slain. Life, however, returned to normal, and became more peaceful than that in England, where civil war was raging between Puritan and royalist. John Person, who was born about 1630, sailed from England to Virginia as early as 1648,8 and settled in Isle of Wight County. This was the year before the beheading of Charles I, and it was not possible for a colonist to be indifferent to the struggle in England. John Person's plantation was on the Blackwater River, and he was prob ably a neighbor of William and Mary Cook, whose daughter Frances he married about the year 1658. She was born about 1640. John and Frances (Cook) Person were the parents of only one child, John Person, Jr., who was born about 1660, the . year when the monarchy was restored in England. In 1651 the colonists were subjected to the Navigation Acts, and in 1660 and 1663 these Acts were renewed and extended to give British manufacturers a sales monopoly. As a result, in 1664 the price of tobacco, the principal crop of the colon ists, sank to a new low level. For having paid the passage of twenty-two persons from England to the Virginia colony, William Cook, Sr., received (jointly with William Miles) a patent of 1, 100 acres of land "on the second branch of the Blackwater River at the upper corner of John Oliver's land and running down to Mr. England's." The patent was granted on September 29, 1664, during the reign of Charles II.' On April 10, 1665, a part of this land was presented through a deed of gift by William and Mary Cook (jointly with William Miles) to John Person, Jr., at that time about five years old. The stipulation was made that the property was to remairi in the possession of John Person, Jr.'s parents, John Person the elder and his wife Frances, "until ye said John Person their sonne be of full age," The land was on the Blackwater River adjoining that of John Oliver.11 On June 17, 1667, William Cook, Sr., secured 850 additional acres of land by purchasing the rights of four persons who had paid the passage of seventeen colonists. 6 . On November 6, 1667, William Miles conveyed 450 acres of land to Wil- liam Cook. 1 On May 26, 1668, William Cook gave power of attorney to his wife, Mary, against Thomas Ward "whom I have arrested in action of debt."8 On August 9, 1669, William Cook and Mary, his wife, sold to Thomas 8Nell Marion Nugent, Cavaliers and Pioneers (Richmond: The Dietz Printing Co., 1934), p. 180. ~Virginia Land Office Patents (hereafter cited as Virginia Land Patents), · Book 5, p. 460. 5 Isle of Wight County, Virginia, Will and Deed Book 1, pp. 41-42. 6lbid., p. 113. 1/bid., p. 177. 8lbid., p. 21. 2 ·-·--.--..:;;_ --- _:.._ __.. .., SURRY COUNTYRECORDS .oc>OK,I, 1652-1672 Page J. 19 Oct. 1650-1651.

THERE ARE TOO MANYQUESTIONS LEFT UNANSWERED AND TOO MANYSOURCES THAT HAVENOT BEEN CONSULTED TO MAKETHIS PEDIGREE AUTHENTIC. However, the identification of Richard Pace of Wapping Wall, Carpenter, who married Isabell Smyth at St. Dunstan's, Stepney, on 5 Oct. 1608, with the Virginia settler, Richard Pace, seems almost positive. The question of whether a car penter could become the owner of "Paces Paines", a 400 acre holding in Virginia is easily an swered. London carpenters were prosperous. Land in Virginia was cheap. Each headright was worth 50 acres which meant that a husband and wife could get 100 acres just for bringing themselves to the New Wor1 d. 400 acres was not a great holding. An investigation of the ancestry of many a Virginia settler whose descendants were among the local gentry would show similar ori gins. A good case is made in this Bulletin for the identification of Richard Pace, but I think that the author went off the deep end in suspect ing that Isabell (variantly Izabella, Isabella, etc.) Smyth (Smith) was a relative of John Smith of Nibley in Gloucestershire. The Smiths of Nibley were minor Gloucestershire gentry looking upward, and it is doubtful that they would have 1et a daughter cast her 1ot with a Wappi ng Wall carpenter. It would be much better to search the local London wills for the ancestors of Isabella Smith and Richard Pace than dream of illustrious ances tors. 172 I SOUTHERNCOLONIAL FAMILIES, v. 2 Pace Family of Eng., Va., N.C., S.C. & Ga.
