Pomp Kersey, Tennessee Guerilla


The following text is from "A Bicentennial History of DeKalb County,
Tennessee" by Thomas Gray Webb, and is copyrighted by the author. Our
thanks go to him for allowing its use on this page.


In neighboring White County the next month, a force of a hundred Union
soldiers was sent to recover 500 horses that had been stolen from them by
Champ Ferguson's guerilla band. The official army report stated that they
found very few of the horses, but that "the major commanding found that
the citizens were all aiders and abettors to the thieving band. So he
commenced to show them the rewards given to such people and had their
stock (private) and everything that his command could consume seized, and
plundered every house from there to Sparta... and destroyed all that could
not be brought away. For a distance of fifteen miles ... the most
unparalleled plunder was committed." The same report mentioned that there
were still Confederate guerilla bands at Sparta, Spencer, and in Overton
County, and that "Kearsy has about thirty men and ranges near
Smithville... they are all regular desperadoes, taking no prisoners at
all."

This referred, of course, to Pomp Kersey, the best-known of the
Confederate guerillas in DeKalb County. He actually lived just across the
line in Cannon County near Short Mountain but most of his guerilla
operations were directed against Union sympathizers around Liberty and
Smithville in DeKalb County.

Pomp Kersey's real name was Hiram Taylor Kersey, but apparently he was
always called by the nickname Pomp. He was the youngest son of Margaret
(Peggy) Kersey, who had been a widow for most of Pomp's life. Pomp Kersey
enlisted in Company A of Colonel Savage's 16th Tennessee Infantry Regiment
in May 1861, when he was only thirteen years old. His older brother and
two cousins were in the same company, and they all served honorably there
through the terrible battles of Perryville and of Murfreesboro, where one
of his cousins was killed. The other died at Franklin in November 1864.

Pomp Kersey was not with the 16th Regiment at Franklin; he had left the
army more than a year earlier. On May 24, 1863, he wrote to his mother
from Shelbyville. He was fifteen years old at the time, but his letter did
not sound like one written by a fifteen-year-old boy, nor did it sound
like one written by a desperado. He wrote:



"Dear mother, when I know that you are well and doing well I am satisfied
for I care for nobody else but you, all my labor and privations and
hardships are to make you comfortable in your old age. I am looking
forward to the time when I shall see you enjoy all the necessary comforts
and pleasures of this earth and I am in hopes I will in a coming day be
with you and be able to still assist and aid you in your troubles and
cheer you in your old age.... I understand that you have bought you a
farm, and I am glad you have done so for I had no other use for my money
and should it so happen that I never get to come home you will have a home
w here you can live urmolested. Mother I want you to write to me as soon
as you receive this letter, and let me know how every thing is going on. I
have no news to write you, we have bad news from Missippi. I will send you
$15 in this letter and if you need any more just let me know it and I will
send you more, be sure and write to me some more I remain your Son for
ever.

H T Kersy to his mother Margrett Kersy"



Writing to his friend M. B. Martin, also on May 24, 1863, Pomp Kersey
sounded more like a typical fifteen year old, but still nothing like a man
bent on spreading death and destruction. Addressing him as "Dear old
Friend Rich," he wrote:



"I am well and enjoying all the pleasures of this life. I have plenty of
money to spend for anything I want. I have for the last month had the
finest time with the young ladies you ever saw. I visit a place where they
had the finest kind of instrumental music preformed by a natural actress.
She acted well on the piano and I think she will act well almost any other
way. rich I have a great many good things to tell you but I have not got
time to tell them all now but I want you to save a 2 gallon jug full of
good whiskey and rob the bees for I intend to come home in a few days. I
will be at home by the time these letters gets home and I want you to
attend and have all things so we can take a big spree out in the flat
woods. rich I am in the notion to take one big bust before long I will be
sure to be at home so I will come to a close. I remain yours most truly
for ever H.T.Kersy"


Pomp Kersey gives no indication in these letters that he was planning to
leave the army. However, when he did come home, he found that the Short
Mountain section was being subjected to repeated raids by a band of Union
guerillas. They had plundered the home of his mother and had killed Bob
Jones, one of her neighbors. When the Confederate army withdrew from
Middle Tennessee to Chattanooga, Pomp felt that his home would be
unprotected against these Union men. Vicksburg had fallen, Lee had
retreated from Gettysburg, and the future looked dark for the Confederacy.
Therefore, on August 4, 1863, he left the army and returned home as did
quite a few other Middle Tennesseans at this same period of time. He
gathered about him a dozen or so others who felt as he did, and they set
about protecting their area from the outrageous actions of the Union
guerillas.

Unfortunately however, some of the actions of Pomp Kersey's guerillas
became as outrageous as those of the Union guerillas. Pomp Kersey and his
band appear to have operated mainly in DeKalb County, with Smithville and
Liberty receiving most of their attention. They were particularly disliked
at Liberty, where they robbed several of the Union sympathizers, among
them William Vick and James Fuston. Their raids into Liberty culminated on
the night of January 25, 1864, when they surrounded the home of Ben
Blades, who was 66 years old and a Union man, but was well thought of by
the entire community. When he tried to escape out a back door, he was
killed almost instantly by a shot through the door. Mr. Blades' death
succeeded in arousing most of the people of the Liberty area against
Kersey's band.

They were better liked around Smithville, where the majority were of
Confederate leanings. One day "there gathered in the northern part of the
town a squad of men belonging to Company F, Blackbum's Regiment, to secure
Federal recruits -- Ras Foster, 'Black Bill' Foster, Jim Eastham, Pal
Rigsby, John Colwell, and others. Suddenly Kersey's men dashed into town,
stampeding the recruiters. Eastham killed a horse trying to get away,
while eight of the Federals were killed, among them Rigsby and Colwell....
The Rebel citizens of Smithville were pleased over this raid, for they had
much to bear."

Some of Smithville's citizens were not so pleased with Kersey's raids.
William G. Foster lived on the square where the jail now stands, in a log
house with a room on either side and an open hall in the middle. One night
Kersey and fifteen or twenty men came shooting into town and rode their
horses right into the open hall, woke the family, and choked Mr. Foster
and his wife until they gave him what money they had. They then rode away,
but were not yet through with Mr. Foster. They returned another night when
Mr. Nathan Newby was visiting the Fosters, shot and killed Mr. Newby's
horse, and shot the Fosters'cow, though it lived. Again they choked
William Foster until he gave them money, and Nathan Newby barely escaped
with his life when he had no money. Such events as these were described as
a "regular occurence" in Smithville in 1863 and 1864.

William Foster seemed to get the worst end of the war from both sides; he
had voted to remain in the Union and was considered Union by Kersey's men.
However, he had two sons in the Confederate army in the early part of the
war, so the Union soldiers did not hesitate to take his supplies. One fall
when his corn crop had been brought into town and piled in his yard before
storing, Bill Hathaway and about a hundred Federal soldiers rode up and
turned their horses into it, consuming nearly all of it. The Fosters
finally moved to Watertown during the last year of the war to escape the
guerillas.

Kersey's men when they needed money did not seem to be too particular
about whether their victims were of Union or Confederate sympathies.
Hearing that John M. Love on the Caney Fork at Young Bend had some money,
they rode to his house and demanded it, even though he was of Confederate
sympathy and had two sons in the Confederate army. When he refused to hand
over the money, they took his wife, Nancy, to the back of the house, put a
rope around her neck and threw it over a tree limb, and threatened to hang
her until she finally told where the money was hidden.

For better or worse, the raids of Pomp Kersey and his men were to come to
an end less than a year after they had begun. In many ways the members of
the band could hardly be called men; Ike Gleason of White County was only
fifteen years old, Pomp Kersey himself was only sixteen, and several of
the others were said to be about the same ages. However, the war had
demanded men's work of them, and most of them would attain no greater age,
for they were soon to die.

On the night of July 23, 1864, there was a party near Gassaway at the home
of a Mr. Dennis on Canal Creek. Several Union men were there; among them
were Dr. Shields of Smithville, Henry Blackburn, Bill Hathaway, a Mr.
Parrish, Thomas G. Bratten, Louis Lyles, Daniel Gan, and Jim Clarke. Some
of these were soldiers; some were not. Jim Clarke, a young boy, had on a
Federal uniform, but was not a soldier. Daniel Gan had deserted Stokes'
Cavalry the previous year, but had returned to duty and was now listed as
"Absent sick" at Liberty, Tennessee. Henry Blackburn and Louis Lyles were
absent without leave from Stokes' Cavalry; Bill Hathaway had already
resigned from that unit and had not yet joined the Fourth Mounted
Infantry. Thomas G. Bratten, however, was on active duty with Stokes'
Cavalry. He was sixteen years old at the time, a month older than Pomp
Kersey; it was Bratten and Hathaway who fired the fatal shots that ended
Kersey's life the next day.

Bratten gave this description of the party: "We had several interesting
rustic beauties there, all were having a fine time. Not many of us got
sleepy, but three went to the barn and in the loft and were soon dreaming;
and Hathaway went to the side room and went to sleep. We did not have much
fear of an attack, as we never dreamed that an enemy was near. John
Overall was fiddling for us. About 10 o'clock (we afterwards learned),
Pomp Kersey, the captain of the Short Mountain bushwhackers, came into the
yard to see how strong we were; but Louis Lyles and Jim Clarke coming up
the creek just then, shouting and shooting, as wild boys will do,
doubtless scared him away for the time.

At another time, when one of the soldiers stepped out and fired his
pistol, he thought he saw a man out in the corn, but paid no particular
attention to him. Just before day I sat down on the stair steps with my
Spencer rifle leaning against the wall. The fiddler was playing 'Eighth of
January' and the strains rang musically through the room. I had not been
there long before I heard several rifle shots. Every man in the house
looked up suddenly, turning white with fear. For a moment all was still.
The clock ticked loudly. The snoring of a sleeping man in an adjoining
room could be plainly distinguished. One of the soldiers' horses, tied out
in the yard, nickered lonesomely. Then all of a sudden, the three persons
who had been in the barn came bursting through the house as if Satan was
after them!

Some of the girls hurried and tried to wake Hathaway, but he was hard to
arouse. After giving him a shake, I rushed to my horse, put spurs to him
and started towards Liberty. Some other soldiers were out in the road and
got their horses as I got mine. As we turned into the branch that led to
the road, behold! Pomp Kersey's gang, or a part of it, was standing right
between us and town. But spurring our steeds, we pressed through them, and
here we went, helter-skelter. We checked at the forks of the creek, about
where the mill is at Gassaway. We noticed that all of our men were there
but Hathaway and Clarke. I noticed also that my coat, which was a blouse,
had seven holes in the tail. Presently we heard horse hoofs beating over
stones and Hathaway soon hove in sight. His hat was lost, and his hair was
flying in the wind as he said, 'Boys, I feel like I was just out of the
mouth of hell!' He said that Clarke was behind a tree keeping the gang of
12 at bay. We thought of going to his relief, but knew it meant
destruction. Clarke was killed fighting to the last. John Overall, the
fiddler, who was very young, had his fiddle broken over the rail fence and
told to keep out of such bad company."

The Federals went on to Liberty and got reinforcements, among them E.D.
(Ras) Foster, who had earlier been run out of Smithville by Kersey, and
whose father had been raided by Kersey's men several times. The Federals
then headed toward Short Mountain, where Pomp and his band had gone.

Pomp's band had stopped at Bob Jones' oat field and taken up oats in loose
bundles for their horses; the Federals tracked them from there by the
scattered oats dropped on the way. They found them asleep in a thicket;
one man, Seals, had heard them coming and, after trying unsuccessfully to
waken the others, he made his escape. Ike Gleason and E.J. Hawkins, who
were sleeping some distance away, also made their escape when the shooting
began. Of the remaining seven, five were killed instantly on the first
volley fired by the Federals. Another was killed by Hathaway and Dan Gan,
leaving only Pomp Kersey. He tried to get on his horse, but failed to get
the halter untied. Thomas Bratten put his rifle against Kersey's back and
pulled the trigger, but it failed to fire. Kersey jumped into the bushes,
turned back toward Bratten and got his pistol half-way out, but was shot
simultaneously by Bratten and Hathaway. Jack Neeley, two men named Benton
and Kelly, and two Arnold brothers from Murfreesboro were among those
killed. The Federals did not escape completely unscathed; when Dan Gan was
discharged a year later "on account of wounds received in action," he
still had in his thigh a rifle ball received "in action on Short Mountain
Tennessee with the notorious Pomp Kersey and his guerilla band."

After the shooting, the Federals went to the Bob Jones place (Jones had
earlier been killed by Union bushwhackers) and commandeered his wife's
oxen and cart. Stripping all clothing from the seven bodies, they piled
them into the ox cart and started through Mechanicsville.

Miss Mary Reams wrote from there many years later, "I have heard those
that saw it say it was a gruesome sight, the hot July morning sun on those
dead bodies, their legs and arms hanging nearly to the ground. Saddest of
all, the mothers and sisters of the boys following the cart, begging the
bodies of their loved ones. Heedless, the cart went on. It reached Liberty
about sunset; the bodies were thrown into a vacant storeroom and buried
the next day on the Daniel Smith farm north of the bridge."

There were many who were pleased that Pomp Kersey and his band would raid
no more, and there was even a song which became quite popular in parts of
DeKalb County. It went:


We had a little party on the banks of Canal,
Along came Pomp Kersey and whipped us like hell!
We routed, we scouted All half the next day
And found the bushwhackers by scatters of hay!
Huzza! Huzza! We're a nation so true,
Three cheers for Abe Lincoln, the red, white, and blue!



The bodies of Kersey and his men were removed from their first burial
place by relatives, and Pomp's body was buried in the Melton Cemetery near
Short Mountain. The inscription on his tombstone expresses his family's
viewpoint quite well:



He Died for his Country
H. T. KEIRSEY
Bom Nov. 13, 1847, Joined the Confederate Army May 1861
Associated himself with a Tenn. Guerilla band Aug. 1863
and was murdered near Short Mountain July 24, 1864

PARIS CLARK MARTIN'S NARRATIVE 1816-1872 Compiled from original manuscript by his grandsons, Kenneth L. Hilton and Curtis Eugene Hilton

"My father was born January 4th 1816 in Kentucky in the mountanius region but otherwise I do not know any thing of what portion of Kentucky it was and about all I know of his life up to the time I was about three years old I learned from him he was the oldest of six children his mother died when he was a small boy and his father married another woman they had two children a girl and a boy then his father died after they left Kentucky and went to Tenn.

When my grand father died the children by his first wife were all bound out and father lost track of his half sister and he never heard of her any more but his half brother growed up to manhood went to California and finally came back MO and by some means heard of father and came to visit us. I was then past 13 years of age he came early in March and my father asked me if I could catch a mess of fish for Uncle Alvis there was some ice in the creek and I had never fished before in cold weather but I put out three bank hooks and caught one ten pound catfish after that we had all the fish we wanted we lived near a large creek and the fish were plentifull I caught a great many while we lived there and seldom caught one that weighed less than six pound the largest one I caught weighed twenty pounds I sold it for one dollar as we had no use for it.

Wel my uncle went home he lived in Cedar county MO was married living on a farm he was a large fine looking man weighed more than two hundred pound but got over heated that summer in the harvest field and died so I only saw him the one time. (Note; this would have been in 1871)I have found no record of his death or other. )

Parents of these siblings Unknown. Father born KY, mother born VA (per 1880 and later census) Mother died after 1820 either in KY or TN Father died probably before 1830 in TN probably Warren Co.,

The following letter was written by Nancy Strother Smith (Mrs. J. W. Lee), daughter of Rebecca Maizie Davis Smith, dau. of John Lewis Davis and Ellender "Nellie" Cantrell of DeKalb Co, TN. Rebecca Maizie Davis was the family Historian from the time she was a child until she died. She married James W. Lee. Nancy Strother Smith Lee gave each of her three children a copy of her journal. James W. Lee, Jr.'s Journal was passed down to James W. Lee, III who has posted items on the DeKalb County site on usgenweb. Nancy sent the letter to Jerry L. Cantrell who died in the automobile crash on his way to be married in Las Vegas. Jerry's things went to various family members. Warren G. Cantrell ended up with some of the letters and Ann Goszinski, aunt of Sandy Wainwright ended up with some of them. Most valuable to Mildred I. Seburn Clark is the following letter to Jerry L. Cantrell from Nancy Strother Smith Lee (Mrs. J. W. Lee). Sandy Wainwright gave me what is below:

The letter:

Now John, Called "Johnny Flathead", married Mary Adkins. Their children were:

Sampson, Madison, Abraham,, William Riley, Serene and Nellie, my grandmother.

Sampson married and took his family to Alabama. Madison married Nellie Cantrell and went to Mississippi and had six children. They were: Jane, Nancy, Robert, John, Elizabeth, and Melissa Cantrell.
Abraham married Jennie Robbs, no doubt about that! Their children were:
Collins, John, Jefferson (who married ms. West), William (who married Sallie Mullican), eight children, Sallie married Mr. Wilkerson. I knew their son Cleve Wilkerson and went to school with his children.
Susan married Tom Cantrell. Lissie (Melissa) married Richard Cantrell. Tom and Richard were brothers, and were sons of Peter and Polly Cantrell. They were also brothers-in-law to Alex Davis, (my mother's brother). Alex Davis and his father-in-law went with their families to Dade County, Mo., when they were young. Alex Davis made two visits back to Smithville, and died in Missouri at 100 years old.

A daughter of John and Mary Adkins Cantrell was Nellie Cantrell, my grandmother. She married John (Jackie) Lewis Davis. I never heard my grandmother called by the name you mentioned. Everyone called her Nellie. My grandparents were both born in Spartanburg, SC and Rebecca, my mother, and her sister Amanda, were both born in Tennessee. My grandparents both lived to be 87 years old, and both died in an accident. They raised 12 children to be up in years, and never had a doctor in the house. (Strong and Healthy). I have a nephew, James Carlyn Moore who is one of the men at Pepperdine College, Los Angeles. You may meet him sometime. If you should, tell him that you and he are kin. I appreciate all that you sent me. I hope that you will write again and tell me about your family. Anything you will write will be of interest to me. Give my respects to your grandfather. Sincerely, Your cousin,
Mrs. J. W. Lee (Nancy Strother Smith)
Author of the letter: The letter was sent to my uncle Jerry Cantrell in the early 1960s........My aunt's name is Goskini......she doesn't post anything.....But she has thousands of pieces of papers, wills. Letters etc............I found IDA married twice.....and another kid, but can't read the name...
from Sandy Wainwright to Mildred I. (Seburn) Clark Oct, 2002. Sandy said her uncle Jerry had planned to do a book in the 1960's but died before he could. His papers then were divided among the family and Warren G. Cantrell received part of them.

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


Incidentally, I'm told there is no name John Miller Cantrell. Rather, "Old" John Cantrell who m. Miss Brittain had a son who was known as "Miller" John Cantrell because he owned a mill in SC. That's the John who m. Elizabeth Cantrell. Since my husband apparently doesn't have that line, I'm not getting excited about it but it is a point of interest and clarification if true.

The Cantrell name orginated in France, and was spelled CHANTELLE. The first Cantrell to be recorded in England was during the rain of King John 1199, AD. He was William Cantrell. The first Cantrell to be married in America was also a William Cantrell, the nineth in line fron the first William Cantrell. William Cantrell arrived on the Ship Phenix, at Jamestown, Vergnine 1608. This William Cantrell is known as the Progenitor of most of the Cantrell's in America.

From the area of Philadelphia, Pa., the Cantrell's Migroated as "Mishionaries of the Mother Baptist Church" south to North and South Carolines. John Centrell Sr. after service in the Rev. War from N. C. settled in a place called Bucks Creek.

The Bucks Creek Baptist Church is still standing. The Cantrell family Cemetery is a stort destance away. John Cantrell Sr. is beruied in this cemetery.

John CANTRELL Sr. was a miller and Baptist Minester. He helped establish the Bucks Creek Baptist Church in Buck Creek, [Sportanburg Co.] S. C. Served as Pastor from 1800 to 1803. John is burried in Cantrell Family Cemetery. John had a brother by the name of Isaac Cantrell. Isaac also was pastor of the Bucks Creek Baptist Church. The Cantrell Cemetery is near the Bucks Creek Baptist Church.



Notes from Carl D. Cantrell:

He was married twice. He had seventeen sons by his first wife _______ Brittian and four sons and two daughters by his second wife Jane ______. We have heard from several that there were a number of twins in this large family. He died in 1803 and his sons Abraham, Stephen and Moses administered upon his estate.

There are may traditions in the family regarding John Cantrell and his family and their moving to the Carolinas, but the exact date of his leaving New Castle county is not known. It is known, however, that he was living in Rockingham county, or what is now that county, North Carolina, before the Revolutionary War, and shortly after the war he moved to Ninety Six District, now Spartanburg county, SC, where he owned over eight hundred acres of land on Buck creek, waters of the Pacolet river. John Cantrell and his family were devoted and active members in the Buck creek Baptist church and some of his descendants still attend this old church. There is not reliable authority for a correct tabulation for any but the first three of the children of John Cantrell and we have endeavored to make the list correct from records, rather than from lists furnished from memory by his descendants. His father moved to the big valley of Virginia before John reached his teens. In 1738, his father was living in Orange county, Virginia. He spent all of his life as a farmer. We don't know what education he had but he probably received what ever was available to frontier lads. The family genealogist stated that he married two times and, from the ages of the children, this is probably true. She stated that his 1st wife was a Miss Brittain. She was probably a sister of Joseph Brittain, who lived near John in North Carolina and who is mentioned in the records of his brother, Joseph, in 1759, in Rowan county. The marriage was probably somewhere in the valley of Virginia. In the 18th century, families from Pennsylvania filtered down through the Great Valley of Virginia to the Piedmont Plateau of the Carolinas.

The family had become associated with the Baptist Church and Isaac, John's brother, was ordained a minister. The family settled in the "Land of Eden," Granville county, North Carolina, which became Orange county in September, 1752. John is first located on a tax list submitted by the Sheriff in 1754. The list was for two white polls. His brother Isaac received a land grant for 202 acres of land in Orange county, November 13, 1756. He sold this land to John on March 13, 1759. The deed was witnessed by James Watson. The land was on a ridge between the waters of County Line Creek and Jordons Creek. The land was about seven miles north of the Upper Branch of the Haw River, on the waters of Wolf Island Creek which was a branch of the Dan River to the north. It is about two miles north of the present town of Reidsville, Rockingham county, North Carolina. After the tax list of 1754, the next time we find John is in the Minutes of the Orange County Records, when he is sued by James Cary Jr. on a debt in the December court of 1758. In the Court of September, 1759, he and his brother Joseph were on a road jury to lay out a road from Hogna's Creek to the county courthouse. He and William Savage were appointed Overseers of the road. In August, 1760, they were appointed to another road jury to lay out a road from Daniel McGullon's plantation to Taylors road leading to the court house. He was appointed overseer to the lower section. In August, 1763, Henry Cobb was appointed to replace John on the Lower town road, and in May, 1765, John Morrow was appointed Overseer in place of John on the other road. In May, 1766, John was appointed Overseer of a road in place of William Laughlin. On November 12, 1765, John sold his 202 acres of land to William Jones. No record of his having purchased other land are found in Orange county records. Guilford county, North Carolina, was formed in 1771 from the western part of Orange county. John and his family lived in the northern part of this new county, and this area became Rockingham county in 1785. But, by this time John and his family and many others in the area had moved south westward down the Piedmont Plateau to the 96th District of South Carolina. When this move was made has not been firmly established but it appears to have been shortly after the close of the Revolutionary War. His 1st wife died and he married Jane________.

The 1st wife is probably buried at the Wolf Island Baptist Church Cemetery. The church was formed in 1777 by his brother, Isaac, on a part of his 770 acre farm. Isaac's 1st wife died in the area and she was probably buried on the ridge where the church was built. John's wife is probably buried at the same burial place. In the 1960s, the field markers were removed to facilitate mowing. It was estimated that there were probably one hundred unmarked graves in the cemetery. The family genealogist stated that he had seventeen sons by the 1st wife and four sons and two daughters by the 2nd wife. She admitted there was no reliable authority for a correct tabulation for the listed children of John except for the first three. She had heard the tradition of the Cantrell with twenty-one sons and though there was available evidence that Isaac was more likely to have had the twenty-one sons, she attributed them to John and preceded to compile a list of twenty-one. We now know that two of the listed sons were not Cantrells but Curtis. This was due to a misreading of the 1790 census. We know that at least three of the children listed were nephews, sons of brother Isaac. Two sons listed were never located on census reports or other records, but this does not mean that they did not exist, so we end up with a list of sixteen sons. Because two daughters of John were born during the years of the 1st marriage, we can assume there were at least four daughters.

Soon after John arrived in the 96th District, later Spartanburg county, South Carolina, he acquired 800 acres of land on Buck Creek, waters of the Pacolet River. Later his brother Isaac and many of his sons and nephews also acquired land in the area.

In 1790, John is listed as head of household in the census of the 96th District. He had one son under sixteen and two daughters at home. Many family names on this census were familiar names first located in the court records of Orange county, North Carolina. We have assumed that John and his brothers were the first to use the spelling of the family name as Cantrell, but now we find his father, Joseph used this spelling in 1758 in Virginia. The history of the South Carolina Baptist Church gives statistics for the Buck Creek Baptist Church for the period 1790-1800. This church claims to have been a constituted body since 1779. Situated near Pacolet River about twelve miles northeast of Spartanburg, it became a constituent of the Bethel Association in 1789. In 1790, the church had 78 members. When John's brother, Isaac moved south in 1795, he became the minister there from 1796 though 1798. John was a messenger to the Bethel Association from 1797 though 1799. In 1800, John is listed as the minister.

The church building has been rebuilt several times in the past 200 years. At the present time, there is a new, large, red brick church building across the road from the old church location and the cemetery. It is located on a hill, about a quarter of a mile north of the mouth of Buck Creek, about 2 miles west of Mayo. Descendants of the family are still members of the church. John was not listed as the head of household in the 1800 census of South Carolina, but his was listed in the household of his son, Moses, age 36. The household listed a male and female over 45 years of age. We know that John owned three slaves and the listing for Moses had 3 slaves listed. John died February, 1803, and three sons, Abraham, Stephen, and Moses were appointed administrators of the estate. The probate was recorded in Deed book "L" page 193. His widow, Jane, received a dower settlement. In the last several years, a number of researchers have tried to locate this deed book without success. John is probably buried at the Buck Creek Baptist Church Cemetery. The center of the cemetery has at least one hundred graves marked by fieldstones with only graves since the 1850s containing information on the stones. Jane is not listed as head of household on the 1810 census. She was probably living in the household of a married daughter.

JOSEPH2 CANTRELL, (Richard1),

b abt 1695 Philadelphia, PA m Catharina _____. Joseph is named as a grandson in the will of Jane Jones, written in 1730. He apparently grew up in Philadelphia, and moved when a young man to what is now Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware, about 20 miles down the Delaware River from Philadelphia. This area had been settled by the Swedes, including some Finns, in 1638, and they had established there the Holy Trinity Church, known in later years as "Old Swedes Church.".

The present structure was built in 1698 and is still in use today. It was Swedish Lutheran until 1791, when the last Swedish pastor departed and jurisdiction was transferred to the Protestant Episcopal Church. Joseph married probably married about 1718, his wife was named Catharina. Susan Christie in 1908 thought that Catharina was probably a descendant of one of the old Swedish families, and I tend to agree with that conclusion. Some researchers have thought that Joseph's wife was Catherine Heath, but I have seen no record or evidence to support that idea.

Joseph Cantrell and his wife were attending Holy Trinity (Old Swedes) Church by 1720, and three of their children were baptized there between 1720 and 1726. Joseph and his family probably lived in the Wilmington area of Delaware until the 1730's. They are said to have been in Orange Co., Virginia, in 1738, and possibly lived there until about 1750.

At that time the proprietor of the Granville District in North Carolina was opening that area for settlement and offering good land at low prices. Many families traveled down the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia into North Carolina, and Joseph Cantrell and several of his children were apparently among those who made this journey. No will or estate settlement for Joseph Cantrell has been found in Delaware or in North Carolina, but he is thought to have died in North Carolina.

The 1755 tax list of Orange Co., North Carolina, shows Joseph's son John Cantrell with two taxable white males. Since John's sons were under 12 years old, it seems likely that joseph Cantrell was the other male, and that he was living with his son John at that time. Joseph probably died in the 1760's, but no record has been found of his death. Joseph and Catharina are thought to have had ten or more children.

From material prepared by Eddy and Glenda Harrel - Reference attributed to "Early Families of the North Carolina Counties of Rockingham and Stokes with Revolutionary Service", compiled and published by members of James Hunter Chapter, National Society, Daughter of American Revolution of Madison, North Carolina, published 1977:

Joseph spent his early boyhood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Joseph and Catharina lived in New Castle County, Pennsylvania on or near the site of the present city of Wilmington, Delaware, and were attendants at Holy Trinity (Old Swedes) Church before 1720. Their first three children were baptised at the old historical church, known as Old Swedes, which is one of the oldest and quaintest churches in this country.

Joseph was probably a farmer in these lower counties of Pennsylvania, which later became part of Delaware. A published work of the wills in the county of New Castle fails to reveal a will of Joseph or Catharina. It is possible that Joseph accompanied some of the sons on the move south to North Carolina. In 1752 and 1753, son John was taxed for two white polls in Orange County, North Carolina. One may have been his father. A complete list of the children of John and Catharina has never been found. The nine children listed were compiled from family records and the court and county records of Orange County North Carolina. The sixth child (a female, name unknown) was born about 1722.

Christina Parish was mostly situated on both sides of Christina Creek, partly on both sides of Brandywine Creek in New Castle County and in the Hundreds of New Castle, Christina and Brandywine. It stretched two Swedish miles in length, and one in breadth. The most remote families of the parish were not more than six and a half English miles distance from the church. The city of Wilmington is built on the Swedish "church land" and the charter for the town was granted on 1735. At the time Joseph Cantril went there, it was known as Christina.

Many of the earliest records of this locality have been lost, or destroyed, and at best are very incomplete. There is evidence, however, from the scattered records in New Castle County today, that descendents of Richard Cantril lived there from before 1720 until 1797, though the majority moved south during this period.

A published work of the wills and probates of New Castle County during the period of Joseph's residence there fails to reveal his will or probate. As he was a man in his 50s when his sons moved south to Carolina, it can be assumed that he made the move with his sons. In the tax list submitted to the Orange County Court, North Carolina for the year 1754, his son John's household listed two taxable white males. As John's sons were under 16 years of age, it can be assumed that one of these was his father, Joseph.

Most of the records of the area have been lost, but we do know that descendants of Richard were living in the area from 1720-1787, though the majority had moved south to Virginia and the Carolinas. A published work of the wills and probates in New Castle county, does not contain any record of Joseph or Catherine. It can be assumed that they had made the trip south.

In the tax list submitted to the Orange County Court for the year of 1754, son, John was listed as having two taxable white males. As John's sons were under 10 years of age, the possibility exists that this other was for his father.

"Joseph Cantrell was born abaout 1695 in Phildelphia, PA.. He spent his early childhood in that city. His parents may have moved to the lower counties of PA. soon after 1700. He married Catherine Heath ca 1718. According to one genealogist, she was a daughter of John and Hannah Heath. So far, research has not been located to substantiate. We do know that her christian name was Catherine from the baptismal records at the Holy Trinity (Old Swedes) church at Wilmnington, Delaware. One researcher has stated that she was a great granddaughter of Thomas Heath who came to America in 1635 on the ship "SAFETY" landing in VA. and later moving north and finally settling near New Castle, PA. (later Delaware).

From the Holy Trinity records of 1697 to 1773, which were translated from the Swedish to English in 1890, we find that Joseph and Catherine had three children baptized there in the 1720's.

They were Hannah, John and Joseph.

Christina Parish was mostly situated on both sides of Christina Creek, partly on both sides of Brandywine Creek in New Castle County, Pa. and in the Hundreds of New Castle, Christina and Brandywine.

We know that son, John was in Orange County, NC.

in 1754, when the tax list for that year was submitted by the sheriff, and that the list had two taxable white males. John's oldest son was too young to have been taxed so the other one may have been for Joseph. A complete list of the children of Joseph and Catherine has never been located. One daughter may have been Sarah, who was the wife of Lawrence Bankston. For over 60 years the Cantrell and Bankston families migrated and settled together. Lawrence Bankston stated in a court case in 1807 that he had known Isaac Cantrell for over 50 years.

Joseph Cantrell was born about 1695 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and after reaching manhood moved to the “lower counties of Pennsylvania” that later became the state of Delaware. He married Catharina (surname unknown) about 1718, and they were living in New Castle County, Pennsylvania, near the present city of Wilmington, Delaware, and before 1720, were attendants at Holy Trinity (Old Swedes) Church. Catharina was probably the daughter of one of the original Old Swedes families who first settled on the Swedish “church land.” From the Holy Trinity records of 1697 to 1773, which were translated from Swedish to English in 1890, we find that Joseph and Catharina had three children baptized there in the 1720s. They were Hannah, John and Joseph.

At the time Joseph Cantrell settled there, the town was known as Christina, which was mostly situated on both sides of Christina Creek, partly on both sides of Brandywine Creek in New Castle County, and in the Hundreds of New Castle, Christina and Brandywine. The most remote families of the parish were not more than six and a half miles from the church. The city of Wilmington, Delaware was built on Swedish “church land.” The charter for the town was granted in 1735.

There aren’t any further records of Joseph or Catharina in the remaining records of Delaware, but from the records of Jefferson County, West Virginia, we know that in 1738, Joseph and his brother, Zebulon, were involved in a lawsuit in Orange County, Virginia. The libel suit brought against 54 defendants for “signing a scandalous paper reflecting on the Complaintiff” by Rev. William Williams (Presbyterian) occurred on July 27, 1738. It was filed at the Orange County, Virginia courthouse. Both Joseph and Zebulon were listed as "other defendants." The events that were described in the suit probably happened somewhere between Winchester, Virginia and what is now Martinsburg, West Virginia, which is where the Rev. Williams lived.

While living in New Castle County, Joseph's son, Isaac Cantrell, became associated with the Welsh Tract Baptist Church located at the foot of Iron Hill, in Pencader Hundred. It is the oldest Primitive Baptist church in America, and Isaac was probably licensed to preach by this group. As the Church was composed of Welsh People, the preaching for about one hundred years was in the Welsh language. Isaac’s mother, Catharina, was more than likely of Swedish parentage, but we know for certain that his grandmother, Dorothy Jones, was born in Wales. The Welsh language is not just a dialect of English; it is a language with an older pedigree, and a distinct one. Isaac Cantrell would have to have been fluent in the Welsh language to have been a member of this church in the 1700s.

A record of Isaac’s brother Zebulon being a witness to the will of Thomas Edmond on July 21, 1758, is among the Welsh Tract Baptist Church records, and lends further evidence that the Cantrells were early members of this church.

About 1747, many of the Cantrells as well as allied families joined a large caravan in the movement southward. They moved along the Great Wagon Road down through the Great Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Within view to the west of the Valley rose the Alleghenies and to the east were the Blue Ridge Mountains. From Roanoke, the Wagon Road went through the Staunton Gap and on south to the Piedmont Plateau of the Carolinas. They settled in the "Land of Eden" Granville County, North Carolina, which became Orange County in September 1752. Later, in 1785, this part of Orange County became Rockingham County.

In the tax list submitted to the Orange County Court for the year of 1754, John Cantrell was listed as having two taxable white males. It is possible that one of the males may have been his father Joseph. Isaac received a land grant for 202 acres of land in Orange County on November 13, 1756. Isaac sold this land to his brother John on 13 Mar 1759.

I have created this memorial in honor and memory of Joseph and his descendants at Old Swedes Church where he was a member and several of his children were baptized. He was my husband's 5th great grandfather.

Diane,

Please, please remove all information from your files that Catherine was a daughter of John "Snow Shoe" and Hannah Haynes Heath. That was a ruor that I started 25 years ago and have long regretted. John and hannah did not and I repeat did not have a dau. named Catherine. Futher there is not proof that Catherine was a Heath. That was a rumor that Nobel Bethel started in 1928.
His opinion was based on the 1747 will of John Heath that named a cousin, Alice Cantrell as an heir. john and Hanah Haynes Heath never left MA or Conn.

Note:

Ephraim Potter was born at Shrewsbury, NJ, per Quaker recor d June 24th, but the year has been obliterated. By the simple fact that hi s father was not a resident of Shrewsbury prior to 1670, we know Ephraim was b orn after that time.

1704, March 1. Ephraim Potter, of Shrewsbury, planter, bou ght of Nicholas Wainwright of Shrewsbury, and wife, Mary for L60, land, i n Shrewsbury, that Nicholas Wainwright had bought from Edward Woolley Feb. 1 , 1700. 1716, Oct. 31. Ephraim Potter, of Shrewsbury, was a part y to a tripartite
agreement, of this date, by which he, and "Mary Brown, wido w of Nicholas, who is about to marry the said Ephraim Potter," convey to Richa rd Chambers, Esq., brother of Mary Brown, all her property received from the l ate Nicholas Brown, her husband, as per his will written Feb. 21, 1711. The sa id Richard Chambers to hold the same, in trust, for the said Mary Brown, and t o be returned or distributed at her option. This was an antenuptial contrac t made to secure her rights and to put her in position to transmit her estat e to her daughter, Mary.

This Nicholas Brown, late husband of Mary, was the uncle t o Ephraim Potter's first wife, Sarah Brown.

POTTER, EPHRAIM of the town of Shrewsbury, Mon. Co., "gent. , being uerry fick & weak in body." Dated Dec. 25, 1716. Proved by oath of Joh n Chambers, wit., and by affirm. of Thomas White, "another wit., ... he bein g A Quaker," before John Barclay, Surrogate, 15th April, 1717.

About Richard L Cantrill


Richard L. Cantrill of Charles City, Virginai was born in March 1666 and died May 13, 1753. He was a member of the Church of England, and married Dorothy Jones, a Quaker from Wales, against family wishes in 1693 in Philadelphia. Richard was a friend of William Penn. He was also founder of the first brick factory in this country with his partner, Daniel Peggy. They built the first brick house in Philadelphia. -------------------- Name: Richard Cantrill 2

Sex: M

Birth: 13 MAY 1660 in Derbyshire County, England

Death: 31 MAY 1753 in Philadelphia, PA

Note:

Richard's shire of birth was established from a petition that he submitted to John Blackwell, Esq., governor of the Province of Pennsylvania, in July of July of 1689 stating that his nephew, Joseph Cantril had drowned in the Schuykull River, 10 May 1689, and that Joseph had older and younger brother's in Derbyshire, England. He posted a bond of one hundred pounds.

This document is on file at the register of Wills, City Hall Philadelphia. Pa. Admin. book A page 66, file no. 54.

It is known from the tax records of Derbyshire that there were several Cantril (Cantrell) family's living in the area at the time of Richards birth. In 1986 a researcher found one Richard Cantril's Baptismal record in Derbyshire, England with the parents listed as Richard and Alice Cantril. This Richard was born on May 13, 1666 in the Parish of Bakewell. In the nearby Parish of Ashover there is another record of a Joseph Cantril's christening, recorded as 23 Dec, 1666. He was the son of William and Elizabeth Cantril. Last there is a family listed by the name of Richard and Mary Cantril in Bakewell Parish in 1694 and 97. Any one of these could be our set of missing parents.

According to land records and family lore Richard was thought to be a Brick Mason and possibly operated a brickyard in PA. No record has been found at this time of either a Richard or Joseph Cantril's immigration in the 1680s. It is said by some that he erected the first brick house in the city of Pa. but no record has been found to establish this fact. It is known that the house belong to one Robert Turner and was built on the SW corner of Front and Mulberry (arch) street. From a letter written by Mr.Turner to William Penn dated August 3, 1685, " And since I built my brick house the foundation of which was laid ar they going..."

The next record of Richard and Dorothy is in the 1703 Delaware court records found among the grand jury presentments.

Dorothy Cantril , presented for masking in men's cloths the day after Christmas. Walking and dancing in the house of John Simes at 9 or 10 at night. John Simes who gave the masquerade party was presented for keeping a disorderly house,

" A nursery of de botch ye inhabitants and youth of this city.. to ye grief of and disturbance of peaceful minds and propagating ye throne of wickedness amongst us."

From a will and burial records four children can be verified as Richards. There is a Jane ??? and Mary Price mentioned in the will who might also be children.

PENNSYLVANNIA ARCHIVES A RECORD OF LAND.

Caveat against surveying of land adjoining Richard Cantrill's estate, issuing to the heirs or executors of said Richard Cantrill, or any under him, 31 May, 1753. As the two son's of Richard left the New Castle area in the late 1720's or early 1730 and moved to the valley of Virginia by 1738, Richard may have also made the move

RICHARD1 Cantrell, (RichardB), b abt 1666 Bakewell Parish, Derbyshire, England d bef 31 May 1753 Pennsylvania. m abt 1693 Dorothy Jones b ca 1672 Flint or Denbigh, Wales dau of Ellis Jones and Jane ____. Richard's baptism was on 13 May 1666 in Bakewell Parish, Derbyshire, England.

Bakewell Parish was a brickmaking area, and very likely Richard grew up in the brickmakings trade. He was a brickmaker in Philadelphia after he moved to Pennsylvania.

He probably left England around 1687, sometime after he reached the age of 21.

Quite possibly he came in the company of his nephew Joseph Cantrell, who was about his age. Joseph drowned in the Schuykill River at Philadelphia on 10 May 1689. Richard Cantrell, his uncle and nearest of kin in Pennsylvania, was appointed administrator of Joseph's estate. Richard's occupation of brickmaker was well suited to Philadelphia, where almost every building was made of brick. The city was planned, laid out in a logical pattern, and was well regulated from its beginning. Pennsylvania Archives, Vol XIX, 6 July 1692, shows that Richard Cantrell was granted a request for a warrant for a lot of 30 feet on Third Street near the Buyring Ground. Probably this same lot was sold the next year.

Original Records, Deed Book D, 53, p 50, records that on 13 May 1693, Richard Cantrell sold to Thomas Hall, 30 by 190 feet at Third and Market Streets. Richard is thought to have married about 1693, and a few years later he apparently settled into what became his permanent home.

Patent Book A, Vo. II, p 344 contains a lease made on 5 May 1702, by the Governor of Pennsyvania for a lease of 21 years on more than three acres between Fifth and Sixth Street "to Richard Cantrill, Brickmaker," the rent to be 40 shillings per year. Certain requirements were made: "Said Richard Cantrill shall build, erect, and set up a substantial brick house one story and a half in height and in breadth eighteen feet and in length thrirty-six feet....said Richard Cantrill sshall make an orchard upon some part of the hereby granted land, with at least eighty good bearing apple trees planted thereon, and shall also well and sufficiently fence and enclose the said demised land." No disposition of the estate of Richard has been found in the records, and dates of death for hima and his wife are uncertain.

Apparently he had died by 31 May 1753, when the Pennsylvania Archives mention Richard Cantrill's estate. Richard married about 1693 Dorothy Jones. Dorothy was born aborn in 1672 in Wales and came to Pennsylvania with her parents in the ship "Submission" in 1682. She was the third of four children of Ellis and Jane Jones, who were Quakers and had come to America to escape religious persecution. Since Richard Cantrell was not a Quaker, he and Dorothy were married "out of meeting", as the Quaker term goes.

Their apparent first child died, and the Race Street meeting house records list under Burial os Those Not Friends, "Mary, 1-6, 1695, parents Richard and Dorothy Cantrill." Dorothy Jones Cantrell is said to have gone so far from her Quaker upbringing that she attended a masquerade ball in Philadelphia, and she was apparently fond of social events. Dorothy and Richard Cantrell, as city dwellers, had what was probably an easier life than many of their descendants would have when they moved to the frontier communities of the Carolinas and Tennessee.

As shown by the will of Dorothy's mother, Jane Jones, Richard and Dorothy Jones Cantrell had four known children: + 2.

Family tradition says that he and his son Joseph moved to Botetourt Co., Virginia, befor the Revolutionary War. + 5.

I have searched this list extensively, and other places as well, and after sifting through everything, I have come up with the following as the most likely information regarding Richard and his family. I am looking for input as to error and also as to filling in missing pieces.

Richard Cantrill, most likely born 1660 in Derbyshire, England. (Possibly 1666, but less likely.) Died 31 May 1753 in Philadelphia.

Married 5 Mar 1693 in Philadelphia to Dorothy Jane Jones. She was born 1672 in Denbigh, Flint, Wales, arriving in Philadelphia in 1682 on the ship Submission with her family. She was 10 years old at the time. She died 30 Aug 1755 in Philadelphia.

They had five children: (I know there are other numbers listed, but these seem most likely. I am willing to consider other info if we can find some kind of documentary support.)

1- Mary born 1694 in Philadelphia. She died 1 Jun 1695 (some say Jan 6, but I feel better about the June date). I would love to know what caused her death.

2 - Joseph born 1695 in Philadelphia. He died probably sometime after 1753 in Orange County, North Carolina.

3 - Mary, born about 1696 in Philadelphia. She is the one who is most questioned. However, based on the fact that a child was often named after a child that had died, and the fact that the mother of Dorothy named a Mary Price in her will, I have chosen to side with those who think this is probably their child. I could really use some documents on this one.

4 - Zebulon, born 1697 in Philadelphia.

5 - Dorothy, born 1699, in Philadelphia.

I do not have death dates and those would really be helpful. In addition, I have no information as to spouses of these children, other than Joseph, who is my husband's direct line.

There seem to be land records listing Richard in 1692, 1693, 1701, 1702 and again in either 1701 or 1702 when he leased the 3 acres. Other than the mask party in 1703 which caused such a scandal, I have not found any more references to them. Does anyone have more?

I don't want to get into opinions here, but would really like help in trying to find the truth. So many of you have so much info that I am hoping you can help fill in the missing parts.

Someone once told me that genealogy could be about skeletons (just the names, dates and places) or the skeletons could be fleshed out into real people. That is what I am trying to do. I want to know who these people really were and how they lived.

Anyway, thanks for any help.

From a letter written by Mr.Turner to William Penn dated August 3, 1685, " And since I built my brick house the foundation of which was laid ar they going..."

The next record of Richard and Dorothy is in the 1703 Delaware court records found among the grand jury presentments.

Dorothy Cantril , presented for masking in men's cloths the day after Christmas. Walking and dancing in the house of John Simes at 9 or 10 at night. John Simes who gave the masquerade party was presented for keeping a disorderly house, " A nursery of de botch ye inhabitants and youth of this city.. to ye grief of and disturbance of peaceful minds and propagating ye throne of wickedness amongst us."

From a will and burial records four children can be verified as Richards. There is a Jane ??? and Mary Price mentioned in the will who might also be children.

1703 Delaware Court: "Dorothy, wife of Richard Cantrell, presented for masking in men's clothes the day after Christmas, walking and dancing in the house of John Simes at 9 or 10 o'clock at night." John Simes who gave the masquerade party, was presented for keeping a disorderly house," a nursery of debotch ye inhabitants and youth of this cithy..to ye grief of and disturbance of peaceful minds and propagating ye throne of wickedness amongst us." Dorothy Jones Cantrill seems to have been a young lady of considerable spirit and independence of character. She not only married the man of her choice, irrespective of her religious training, but later evidence is found of her love of gayety and society in an old history of Philadelphia, where she figured at a masquerade ball, much to the horror of her more quiet Quaker friends. She seems to have inherited her love of society from her mother, for the name of Jane Jones appears as a witness to the marriage of a great many Quakers of her day, and the Quaker weddings were probably the principal events affording those of that sect an expression to there social instinct.

Richard married about 1693 Dorothy Jones. Dorothy was born aborn in 1672 in Wales and came to Pennsylvania with her parents in the ship "Submission" in 1682. She was the third of four children of Ellis and Jane Jones, who were Quakers and had come to America to escape religious persecution. Since Richard Cantrell was not a Quaker, he and Dorothy were married "out of meeting", as the Quaker term goes. Their apparent first child died, and the Race Street meeting house records list under Burial os Those Not Friends, "Mary, 1-6, 1695, parents Richard and Dorothy Cantrill." Dorothy Jones Cantrell is said to have gone so far from her Quaker upbringing that she attended a masquerade ball in Philadelphia, and she was apparently fond of social events. Dorothy and Richard Cantrell, as city dwellers, had what was probably an easier life than many of their descendants would have when they moved to the frontier communities of the Carolinas and Tennessee. As shown by the will of Dorothy's mother, Jane Jones, Richard and Dorothy Jones Cantrell had four known children: + 2. i. Mary2 Cantrell b abt 1694 burial 6 Jan 1695 Race Street Meeting House, Philadelphia, PA. + 3. ii. Joseph2 Cantrell b ca 1695 Philadelphia, PA m Catharina _______. + 4. iii. Zebulon2 Cantrell b abt 1697 Philadelphia, PA, and appears on the tax list in Chester Co., Pennsylvania, in 1718. He was a cordwainer, or shoemake, by occupation. Zebulon moved later into the Welsh Tract district in New Castle County (now Delaware). There he was a witness to a will in 1758. In 1763 he bought 200 acres of land there. Family tradition says that he and his son Joseph moved to Botetourt Co., Virginia, befor the Revolutionary War. + 5. iv. Dorothy2 Cantrell b abt 1710, was living and unmarried when her grandmother Jane Jones made her will in 1730. No further information..

Dorothy was the daughter of Ellis Emmanuel Jones and Ellen Jane Evans, natives of Wales.

Ellis Jones immigrated to the Colonies aboard the "Submission" in September 1682, along with his wife, Jane (age 40), and his children, Barbara (age 13), Mary (age 12), Dorothy (age 10), and Isaac (age (4 months). Ellis was a resident of Bucks County, PA in 1684, but by 1689 had settled in Philadelphia. He is on a list of “Important Colonists” who came to Philadelphia on board the Submission. His name is also on record in the Welsh Tract Purchases as having purchased one hundred acres in Nantonell Parish, Radnor. He was a weaver and servant to the Governor. Ellis Jones made his will March 22, 1722, and he died in Philadelphia July 16, 1727. His will was executed September 23, 1727. His wife, Jane was the executor. Kinsman John Pugh. Wit: Ellis Jones (his mark), John Jones, John Jones, Jr.

Dorothy married Richard Cantrell on 5 Mar 1691 at Philadelphia, PA. They were the parents of four children: Mary, Joseph, Zebulon, and Dorothy.

Jane Jones died in Philadelphia October 2, 1732. The will of Jane Jones, relict of Ellis Jones, was executed at Philadelphia, August 3, 1730, and recorded December 27, 1732.

Dorothy Jones was the daughter of Elias and Jane Jones. They had come to America from Denbigh, Flint, Wales, in the ship Submission, in September 1682. The log of the ship lists the family. Dorothy was 10 when she arrived. The Jones family were Quakers, so by marrying someone from the Church of England, Dorothy had married "out of meeting," to use the Quaker term.

Notes:

Gabriel likely came to America in the 1660s, but he is not found on any existing passenger lists. (He is often listed as coming from Yorkshire, likely based on the frequency of that name in tha county.) He is found in New London, CT in November 1665, when he purchased a homestead there that is what is now Shaw and Truman Streets. The only record of him prior to that is a will dated 2 Nov 1663 in St. Marys Co, MD to which he was a witness.

When Gabriel bought his property in New London in 1665, he was probably just married or about to be to Sarah ____, as their first child was born in 1668. Her maiden name is unknown, but she apparently remarried after Gabriel’s death to a Mr. Ricks, since her son’s estate refers to her as Widow Sarah Ricks. That may have been James, son of Thomas, born at Salem in 1657.

New London County Court records have the following entry: “Inventory gabriel Woodmansee, dec’d - proved, there is but a small estate and five small children to bring up, and the widow being with child...”

One website lists parents as Robert and Margaret (Clement) Woodmansee, married 29 Nov 1621 in Yorkshire. Robert was born in 1597 in Cherry Burton, Woodmancy, Yorkshire and died 13 Aug 1667 in Boston. His children were born first in England, then in Ipswich and Boston. The main source of this seems to be WFT data. However, these are actually two different Roberts, none of which is likely connected to Gabriel. The Robert at Cherry Burton was buried there in 1658. The Robert who died in Boston in 1667 was headmaster of Boston Latin until his death. There is no record of any Robert at New London, nor of any Gabriel in Massachusetts.

Sons William and John died without surviving issue and Gabriel apparently did as well, as he left his entire estate to his mother. Thomas, Sarah, Joseph and Richard are the only ones with descendents.

The Woodmansee name and early ancestors resided in Yorkshire County, England,=. The direct ancestor was a Thomas Woodmansee, of whos family GABRIEL is the immagrant and is the of our direct line for which we have knowledge. Other Woodmansee's had preceded him and encouraged him to come to this country. It is of record that GABRIEL WOODMANSEE - born in Yorkshire County, New England, of a family dating back to 1530 (English records)m emigrated to the Conneticut Colony where in November 1665 at New London he purchases a homestead overlooking the blue waters of the Thames River on what in 1852 Shaw's Neck and Truman street. In his mid twenties he found his wife among already established settlers. Several of the other Woodmansees are buried in the New London Cemetery and nearby burial grounds.

Gabriel died in 1688 leaving Sarah with several young children.

Notes for Gabriel Woodmansee:

By Leo Gorman

Gabriel was born probably in the British Isles, emigrating to New England in the 1660's. Diligent searches of ships passenger list for the periods of 1620-1670 have not uncovered any immigrant named Woodmansee. Gabriel may have come in 1663 or he may have lived somewhere else in the colonies before moving(possibly) to Maryland and then to Connecticut. His children were born from 1668 until after his death in 1688, so it can be roughly estimated that he was born about 1640- and probably no earlier that 1635. When be bought the home in New London in 1665 he was probably already married or about to be married to Sarah-----. The birth records of three of Thier children include her given name, but her maiden name has not been discovered. After Gabriel died at New London in 1688 she evidently married, second----Ricks, who died Before 1720 when the probate of their son Gabriel estate referred to her as "Widow Sarah Ricks." Her second husband may have been James Rix.

New London County Court Records contain the following entry dated 27 September 1688.

Inventory Gabriel Woodmansee, dec'd-proved there is but a small estate and five small children to bring up, and the widow being with child..

Three of Gabriel sons are identified by land records. On 19 November 1707, Thomas Woodmansee, mariner of Shrewsbury, Monmouth County, New Jersey, for L10 quitclaimed to his brother Joseph all rights etc., in the estate of his father Gabriel, late of New London, deceased. On 5 February 1719/20, Joseph W., of Groton, for L8 quitclaimed for himself and for his brother Thomas to "Gabriel, my brother" all his own and brother Thomas's rights in the estate of their honored father Gabriel. While these documents prove that Thomas, Joseph and Gabriel were sons of Gabriel Woodmansee and inferentially support the theory accepted by previous researchers that no other sons lived to adulthood, evidence to the contrary has been found.

A researcher hired by the present author discovered some handwritten noted at the New London County Historical Society labeled "Manuscripts Copy of Frances Manwaring Caulkins.
"we Samuel Masury of Salem in the county of Essex Cordwainer and Mary his wife-formerly Mary Woodmancy daughter of Richard Woodmancy and granddaughter of Gabriel Woodmancy late of New London in the county of New London and colony of CT deceased, for and in consideration of twenty pounds...paid by James Tilley of New London aforesaid-rope maker..have bargained and sold...three acres and an half more and less of land in New London aforesaid.. alas of in and unto a right on commonage in the common land land of New London containing about eight acres more or less with the apportion and whereof our said grandfather Gabriel Woodmancy died seized in full in fee and intestate and which descend to us, or one of us in right of the said Richard or of our uncles William, John, Gabriel Woodmancy, deceased...
per Delvene Bean:

Gabriel's parents were Thomas and Margaret Clement Woodmansee, Thomas was born in MA and died in Boston. She states Gabriel was born in Shrewsbury CT and died in New London CT.

Attempts to get verification of these facts from Mrs Bean as of 5/2002 have been unsuccessful.

I am working on my Ricks and Woodmansee line. My goal is to find the first Ricks American. At this time I only have Sarah Ricks born 29 Jun 1647 from my ancestral chart. She married her husband Gabriel Woodmansee in 1667 in New London, Connecticut. She died much later than Gabriel. The 30th of Sept 1729. Where, I can only guess where maybe where her children were living?
They had Thomas Woodmansee whom I descend from on the 17th of Sept 1670, in New London, Conn. Sarah's father is stated to be John Ricks, born about 1617. Her mother is an unknown. Maybe, born about 1621. Can anyone that knows about this line from their research share add or discuss further about the 1st generation Ricks and where they landed in America? Hopefully even connect to the motherland, England!

I don't know if this will help but I have a book published 1908. The title is History and Genealogy of The Ricks Family of America. The introduction states "The name first appears in England about the time of William the Conqueror, about 1066. research shows several of the name came to this country from England in its early settlement, Thomas and William came about 1645, and settled in Boston and Salem, MA. Issac Ricks came about the same time and settled in Isle of Wight Co., Virginia. Today in the west of England the name is spelled Ricks, while in the east it is spelled Rix." If you need more help let me know.

Surname: Cantrell

This very interesting name is early medieval and job descriptive, and refers to a bellman, one who rang the 'Chanterelles' - the trebles, or who sang the treble in a choir. The derivation is from the Olde French, the word being introduced by the Normans after 1066. There are at least five modern alternative spellings including Chantrell, Chantrill, Cantrell, Cantrill and Cantwell, sometimes the name is a diminutive meaning 'Son of Cant or Chant'. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Philip Canterel which was dated 1203, in the "Staffordshire Assize Court" during the reign of King John, known as "Lackland", 1199 - 1216. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

• Will: 22 Mar 1722, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Notes:

The Jones family came from either Denby or Flint, Wales. They sailed to America on the Submission, the last of the 23 ships which brought Quakers to Pennsylvania in 1682. The Submission sailed on September 6, 1682, but unfortunately for the passengers, landed on Chesapeake Bay instead of Philadelphia. On October 19 they had noticed the smell of pine trees and on November 2 landed at Choptank on Maryland's Eastern shore. (Capt. James Settle didn't keep a log for the last days of the voyage; it's quite likely that he didn't know where he was.) Left to get to Pennsylvania on their own, most of the passengers walked about 40 miles to Appoquinimink, the lowest section of New Castle County, and 20 miles from the town of New Castle. Ellis Jones, along with several other passengers, lived in Bucks County, PA in 1684.

He was listed among the servants aborad the Submission and was called "the Govern's miller" when he sold 20 acres to Richard Miles in Radnor Township, Bucks County. (Date not known.) Ellis is listed as a weaver of Nantele in a survey of Radnorshire land owners; he is credited with 100 acares. Another record lists him as buying land in Chester County.

ELLIS JONES, of county Denbigh, in Wales, with his wife and servants of William Penn, Barbara, Dorothy, Mary, and Isaac; Jane and Margery, daughters of Thomas Winn, of Wales, and mother; Hareclif Hodges, a servant; Lydia Wharmly, of Bolton; James Clayton, of Middlewich, in Chester, blacksmith, and his wife, Jane, with children, James, Sarah, John, Josiah, and Lydia;

Voyage log of the ship, "Submission"

The voyage was rough. Some days were calm and misty. More were described as rough, cold and stormy. A few were described as “faire”. Imagine you were sailing to the New World with young children of 13, 12, & 10 years old plus an infant in your care.

Highlights from the ship’s log:

September 12th: “left sight of Cape Cleare” – Ireland’s southernmost island, and likely the final view of European land.

They saw two or three whales. The first one was only at a distance. The next day, on September 17th: “A whale came neare us & appeared fair to us & followed us some time.” I bet the kids thought that was cool.

The day after, on the 18th of September “there arose a Great Storm . . . the sea was exceedingly high ye waves ran as high as the main yards but we received little damage.” (A yard is the horizontal spar to which the sails are attached. Big waves.)

October brought severe multi-day storms. October 2nd:

“The sea very rough, the wind high…. A great head sea broke over the ship & staved the boat & took the most part of it away, broke up the main hatches that were both nailed & corked & took them away that they were not seen where they went, broke the boat’s mast & hyst that were lashed in the midship, broke the gunnell head in the midship & broke the forre shet & took severall things of the decks & severall things that were in the boat it cast betwixt decks. … A great sea fell on our Rudder and broke it about one yard or something more from the head …”

They buried one of their friends’ children at sea that day.

The voyage continued.

October 9th: “Faire wether and wind, hundreds of porpoises about the ship some leaped high out of the water and followed the ship about an hour.”

They kept sailing west. Some days brought good weather. Others didn’t. Most were cold. Once a wind from the south brought warm air. For several days it rained.

Then, near the end of the journey, the rain cleared. On October 19th they couldn’t see land yet but the wind blew from the west and they could smell the pine trees of the New World.

The travelers made shore at Choptank, Maryland on November 2nd, according to a record kept by Quaker shipmate Phineas Pemberton.

The captain’s official log ends without a conclusion. The last entry is the 7th day of the week on October 21st. The storms had blown the ship off-course and it was overcast; the captain may not have known exactly where he was. Some say that’s why he did not finish the record.


TYPE OF WILLIAM PENN’S SHIP, WELCOME – from an engraving of the period. The Welcome carried twice as many passengers as The Submission.
The Submission was one of 22 ships, including William Penn’s “Welcom” that brought the first 2,000 people – mostly Quakers – to the brand new Pennsylvania Colony in 1681 and 1682

Notes:

The following was found at the website of "America's First Families" and was submitted by Joyce Lee Wiggins Kaufman of Dallas, Texas, 13th grt-granddaughter of William Potter.

WILLIAM POTTER
NEW HAVEN COLONY, CONNECTICUT
(1608/09-1662)

William POTTER arrived at Boston aboard the "Abigail" from London in July of 1635. Traveling with William were his wife, Frances CHILDS?, and his 20 week old son Joseph.

William's Mother (Hannah POTTER BEECHER), step-father (John BEECHER), and brother (John POTTER) followed William to America two years later. They were part of the company that arrived aboard the "Hector" that included the very prominent Puritans Rev. John DAVENPORT and Theophilus EATON.

The party had intended to settle within the Massachusetts Colony, but upon their arrival, decided to found a new colony elsewhere because of what they perceived to be a tainted religious climate in Boston. The families made arrangements for temporary housing in Boston while a site was being
selected.The BEECHERS and John POTTER probably moved in with William and his family during this period.

Shortly before the arrival of the "Hector", an army from the Massachusetts Colony had raided and slaughtered the Pequot Indians at their village of Quinnipiac on Long Island. The returning soldiers told stories of an abundant land and a favorable harbor. Hearing the glowing reports, Rev. DAVENPORT dispatched Rev. EATON with a party to explore the area.

The party included John BEECHER, William's step-father. They arrived in the Quinnipiac area in early autumn and found it quite suitable for the establishment of acolony. Fearing the approach of winter, however, EATON thought it prudent todelay attempting the establishment until the following spring. He decided to leave seven men to winter at Quinnipiac, further explore the area, and to prepare for the arrival of the main colony.

John BEECHER was one of the seven men left behind. He died sometime during that winter and was buried in an unmarked grave. The colony that became established the following spring was New Haven Colony. John BEECHER'S remains were discovered some years later while digging a cellar.

William POTTER, his family, Hannah (his mother), John POTTER, and Isaac BEECHER (John BEECHER'S son) all removed from Boston to New Haven. They may have went with the original settlers in that spring of 1638 but that cannot be established.

They were definitely there by 1639, however, because both William and John POTTER signed the New Haven Agreement in a general town meeting that year.

Early New Haven records indicate that William's life was a 'good news - bad news' scenario. On the one hand his seating assignments in the church indicate that he progressed in the standing. On the other hand he was frequently fined for offenses ranging from absence at military training,
improper care of arms, to failure to submit a timely inventory for taxation.

In 1659 Hannah POTTER BEECHER died and appointed William executor of her will. She left 2/3 of her estate to William and 1/3 to Isaac BEECHER. She requested that William 'be as a father to his younger brother and his children.'

William died between May, 1662, and March following , in New Haven. His estate was valued at over 190 English pounds, as shown by the inventory taken August 2, 1662. The family home was on the west side of Quinipiac River near the present Cedar Hill station.

The descendants of this early American include the names of many who have distinguished themselves as scholars, as ministers and in other professions. We omit any reference to incidents in connection with the close of his life for the reason that he appears to have been the victim
of a mental disorder rather than an enemy of society.

end of biography

William Potter, along with his brother, was one of the first settlers of New Haven. They signed the New Haven Agreement in 1639.

William was an up and down person. He was a church member in good standing, but was often fined for minor offences.

Eventually, he was hanged for 'ye sin of bestiality with sundrie creatures."

William Potter came to Massachusetts as an adult with his mother Hannah, his wife Frances , and his son Joseph aboard the "Abigail" in1635.

The Religious Society of Friends began as a movement in England in the mid 17th century in Lancashire. Members are informally known as Quakers, as they were said "to tremble in the way of the Lord". The movement in its early days faced strong opposition and persecution, but it continued to expand across the British Isles and then in the Americas and Africa.

The Society of Friends, while always small in membership, has been influential in the history of reform. The state of Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn in 1682, as a safe place for Quakers to live and practice their faith. Quakers have been a significant part of the movements for the abolition of slavery, to promote equal rights for women, and peace. They have also promoted education and the humane treatment of prisoners and the mentally ill, through the founding or reforming of various institutions. Quaker entrepreneurs played a central role in forging the Industrial Revolution, especially in England and Pennsylvania.

During the 19th century Friends in the United States suffered a number of separations which resulted in the formation of different branches of the Society of Friends. The Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC) estimated in 2012 there were 377,055 adult Quakers.

A member of another East Riding list, knowing that I am also researching WOODMANSEY, alerted me to the fact that the there had been a new posting on this site.

My G. Grandmother was Dora WOODMANSEY, born Beverley 1854. She had a sister Louisa and brothers John Bradshaw, Arthur, Tom, Herbert and Frederik.

Dora's parents were John WOODMANSEY, a Groom, and Hannah (formerly YOUNCY). I know from census information that John was born at Driffield. I know from his marriage certificate that his father was a School Master and was also called John.

Beyond this I have lots of information on various WOODMANSEY's (and spelling derivatives) that I have obtained from CD's or from internet sites. Since I live in the Caribbean I am having difficulty in piecing together much of this information. My missing links are hopefully within records to which I do not have access. One example is that a John WOODMANSEY married Ann or Hannah BRADSHAW in 1817 at Hutton Cranswick. It might be pure coincidence but my intuition tells me that this marriage probably has some connection with my G.Grandmother's brother named John Bradshaw.

Does any of the foregoing appear to have any direct connection to you original enquiry. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I am researching the RILEY family of Flamborough and South Dalton and have an 1841 Census record for Hutton Cranswick showing a John WOODMANCY age 20, no occupation, living with a Frances BRADSHAW age 70 'Ind' (of Independant Means) and an Ann Riley age 4. The ages in all cases are unequivocal.

The family I was hunting live next door, Isaiah Riley age 20, shopkeeper, and his wife Anna age 25. I know Anna's maiden name was Bradshaw so i wonder if Frances might be Anna's grandmother perhaps, with Anna's daughter Ann staying with her, and John Woodmancy connected as well.

Any ideas?

Interesting that you are researching Flamborough, My side of the family are from Flamborough, the name is CROSS. I will check at home (do not have internet am at the library) and see if any of the names you mention come up. A connection with Flamborough would be quite scary.

I am working on my Ricks and Woodmansee line. My goal is to find the first Ricks American. At this time I only have Sarah Ricks born 29 Jun 1647 from my ancestral chart. She married her husband Gabriel Woodmansee in 1667 in New London, Connecticut. She died much later than Gabriel. The 30th of Sept 1729. Where, I can only guess where maybe where her children were living? They had Thomas Woodmansee who I decend from on the 17th of Sept 1670, in New London, Conn. Sarah's father is stated to be John Ricks, born about 1617. Her mother is an unknown. Maybe, born about 1621. Can anyone that knows about this line from their research share add or discuss further about the 1st generation Ricks and where they landed in America? Hopefully even connect to the motherland, England!

I don't know if this will help but I have a book published 1908. The title is History and Genealogy of The Ricks Family of America. The introduction states "The name first appears in England about the time of William the Conqueror, about 1066. research shows several of the name came to this country from England in its early settlement, Thomas and William came about 1645, and settled in Boston and Salem, MA. Issac Ricks came about the same time and settled in Isle of Wight Co., Virginia. Today in the west of England the name is spelled Ricks, while in the east it is spelled Rix." If you need more help let me know.

Biography

Henry Cantrell was a US Southern Colonist.

In the year 1616 and the thirteenth year of the reign of King James I of England, a son was born in Jamestowne to William and Mary Cantrell. He was named Henry. For eight years his father had been closely associated with the new colony of Jamestowne having first arrived there in 1608.

Henry grew up quickly among the wheeling and dealing of a newly rich tobacco empire and by the age of fourteen was involved in the trans-oceanic trade of the "noxious weed." That year he came as a passenger on the Unicorn landing at Blunt Point and was responsible for overseeing the loading of a few hogsheads of tobacco for shipment to England.

"In 1631, Henry sent some tobacco to his brother William, then in England. Henry and his shipment of tobacco crossed the Atlantic on the Unicorn." [1]

It is said that Henry was married to a lady named Alice. He was 19 years old when his first son Richard was born in 1635. Another son, Henry, was born in 1639.

In that year Henry was back in Virginia and is listed as an inspector or the tobacco crop, and was a Justice of Charles County, Virginia; he adminstered the oath to men of experience and dignity, who were appointed Inspectors of Tobacco Crops.

Henry returned to Derbyshire, England and opened a tobacco shop, to which his brother shipped goods. Henry married Margaret Shaw 11 Oct 1640, in Kniveton, Derbyshire, England. She was born in Creech, Derbyshire, England 10 Aug 1619.

Henry died in 1682 in Lawrence PA.

Notes:

14 Jan 2014: Comments:

Think I hit send a bit prematurely on my earlier email. Another researcher, Julie A DeSoignie, claims a marriage record exists for Henry Cantrell & Margaret Shaw 11 Oct 1640, Kniveton, Derbyshire, England. So it would have been Henry's father, William Jr, who came in 1608 with Capt John Smith. I just watched a National Geographic special on the first group to come with Capt John Smith to Jamestown. I thought it said it was in 1608. I understood no women came with that expedition so if William was among the first group, he returned to England. That makes sense as Henry was born 1616 in England. I'll do a bit more on the history of that expedition so I understand it in relation to Henry. Still would like to hear your rationale for Henry's ancestors. Charline

The brothers John and William Potter were born in England in 1607 and 1608. Both signed the Plantation Covenant in New Haven, Connecticut on June 4, 1639, just nineteen years after the Pilgrims settled at Plymouth, Massachusetts. John and William appeared in New Haven along with their mother, Hannah Potter Beecher (remarried). Her first husband, Potter, died in England. John married Elizabeth Wood in Chesham Co., Bucks, England on April 14, 1630. Together they had sons John Jr. (b. 1636) and Samuel, both of which were baptized in New Haven in 1641. John Sr. died as early as 1643 with an estate of 25 English pounds.


Individual: From notes of Dlora Hall Dalton.

DHD says: "Her [Hope Potter Robins] grandmother on her paternal line was the widow Hannah Potter-Beecher. William and his mother [Hannah] were some of the first settle r s in Connecticut." Shepard, James, "The New Haven (Conn.) Potters 1639. in "Genealogies of Connecticut Families, from The New England Historical and Genealogical Register" Vol III Painter-Wyllys, selected by Gary Boyd Roberts,Genealogical Pub. Co., inc, Baltimore, 1983 p 150-154 "Hannah [Potter] Beecher was the mother of the New Haven Potters,who appeared early in New Haven as a widow with sons: i. John, ii.Williamand iii. Isaac Beecher, the ancestor of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.Her first husband, Potter, died in England, where she married a Mr.Beecher . "It is generally supposed that her husband was John Beecher, one of the seven whom Eaton sent to New Haven in advance of the colony and who died before the colony arrived. She has been considered to be the mother of Isaac Beecher, for she calls hem her son in her will and gave him one-third of her property ;but recent investigations, it is claimed, show conclusively that Isaac was only a step-son, the son of her second husband by a former wife. "There was in New Haven, says G.F. Tuttle, as early as 1641, a widow Hannah Potter, known as widow Potter the midwife. In 1643 she had two persons in the family, thirty pounds estate and twenty and one qurter acres of land.She is called 'Sister Potter the midwife,' in seating the meeting house in1646.She is supposed to have been akin to the other Potters, but there is no record to show it. She has often been confounded with the widow Hannah Beecher, but the records clearly show that they were two different persons.

"The will of Hanna Beecher was proved April 5 1659, and is recorded in first part, vol i, p 80 of New Haven Probate Records, as follows:

"I Hannah Beecher of New Haven, expecting my great change do make this my last will and testa m ent, I bequeath my soul unto the hands of my Lord Jesus Christ by whose meritt I hope to be saved and my body to be burried at the discretion of my Son William Potter my Executor. And for my worldly goods I give unto John Potter my Grand Child twenty shillings and to Hannah Blackly, my Grand child, wife to Samuel Blackly,twenty shillings, And to Samuel Potter my Grand chi ld twenty shillings to be paid to them within three months after my decease. And for the rest of my estate I give one third part to my son Isaac Beecher and two thirds to my eldest son William Potter, making him my Executor, desiring him to be as a father to his younger brother and his children. And in dividing my goods my will is that my son William should have my feather bed with that belongeth to it, unto his part and that the rest be divided at the discretion of my Overseers with the assistance of Sister Wakeman and sister Rutherford and I desire my loving freinds Mr. Mathew Gilbert and John Wakeman to be overseers of this my last will whereunto I have set my hand this 13th day of June, Anno 1657.Donald "Witnesses the mark of Mathew Gilbert, Hannah Becher John Wakeman, Sarah Rutherford.

"Her children were: John Potter, died 1643. William Potter, born about 1608; died 1662." Lines Jacobus, "Families of Ancient New Haven" (First 9 volumes of TAG in three vols) Vols IV-VI, Genealogical Pub. Co.inc, Baltimore, 1974,pp1459-1476 and 1518. Gives her surname as Hawes. More notes: [29] From Jacobus: Hannah was the widow POTTER before she married Mr. BEECHER whose name was probably John. She was known as the Widow POTTER or Widow BEECHER the mid-wife. Hannah was the mother of William and John POTTER. She died in 1659. From Dictionary of Ancestral Heads of New England Families by Holmes: Hannah, widow of John of Kent, England, came to Boston 1637 with her family, the only son being Isaac who became identified with New Haven, CT.

[30] William Potter came to Massachusetts as an adult with his mother Hannah, his wife Frances , and his son Joseph aboard the "Abigail"in1635. Hannah's husband, Potter (first name unknown) had died in England and she married Beecher there. It is believed that her second husband was John Beecher, one of the seven whom Eaton (governor?religious leader?)sent to New Haven in advance of the colony and who died before the colony arrived. There were, apparently, two Hannah Potters in New Haven and the two have been frequently confounded. It isclear, however, ( according to James Shepard in the New England Historical Genealogical Register) that one is Hannah Potter Beecher.

[31] It is not clear whether the Beecher child Isaac was hers by birth or was a step child.

Hannah came to America with her second husband, John Beecher, and her children to join her son, William. Her husband was one of the party to settle New Haven, and he died in the first winter. She joined the group later with her sons John and William Potter and Isaac Beecher (ie. Harriet Beecher Stowe). She came to America following her minister, John Davenport, and his first sermon in New Haven was delivered on her property.

Biography

William Cantrell/Cantrill was born around 1580 in Derbyshire, England.

He was one of the first adventurers to the New World, landing at Jamestowne, Virginia in 1608. Jamestowne was settled the previous year, becoming the first permanent English settlement in the New World. Captain John Smith noted that In 1608, "Master Nelson arrived with his lost Phoenix." He also provided a list of new arrivals in a note entitled, "Their names that were landed in this Supply." He listed thirty-two "gentlemen," a list which included "William Cantrell."[1]

Among Smith's many duties and interests was Exploration and Discovery , up, down, and around the James River. On 2 Jun 1608, Smith left the fort "to performe his discoveries," with a company of adventurers which included six "gentlemen" (a group which included "William Cantrill"), four soldiers, a blacksmith and two fishermen. The discovery company left "in an open barge of two tunnes burthen, leaving the Phenix at Cape Henry, we crossed the bay to the Easterne Shore and fell with the isles called Smith's Iles." The record of this adventure includes encountering "2 grimme and stout Savages," being taken to meet the "King" of the Werowans, catching more fish than they could cook and eat by stabbing them with their swords, and their captain's near fatal encounter with a stingray.[2]

This second voyage of discovery took the hardy adventurers into modern-day Delaware, to within five miles of modern-day Pennsylvania, and up the Potomac River ten miles past the current site of Washington DC. From June 2 to July 21, 1608, the company of discovery traversed nearly 1,000 miles.[3]

William Cantrill participated fully in this second discovery and Cantrell's Point on the James River, is named for him. Although Cantrill's journals have not survived, in his own "Narrative" Smith acknowledges included material having come "From the writings of Captaine Nathaniel Powell, William Cantrill, Sergeant Boothe, Edward Gurganey."[4]

Disconnecting from erroneous ancestor
Thomas Cantrell (was listed as son of Simon Cantrell) - http://thehennesseefamily.com/getperson.php?personID=I32251&tree=hennessee, his purported son Ralph Cantrell and grandson William Cantrell have no birth or death dates on their profiles. However, the son of William Cantrell does have a birth date -- William Cantrell born 1580 in Bakewell, Derbyshire, England. Since it is obvious that Simon (born 1757) cannot have a great great-grandson born in 1580, this entire line is being disconnected from Simon. Strutton-11 15:12, 12 March 2017 (EDT)

Research Notes
There is no documentation showing that Thomas Cantrell was the father of Ralph Cantrell. There is no information for birth date or place. In effect, this profile simply serves as a placeholder for the parent of Ralph Cantrell. An estimated birthdate has been added based on age 25 at time of birth of son Ralph. This is simply a date to give the approximate era in which Thomas is purported to have lived.

About Thomas Mede

Thomas Mede, of St. Mary Redcliffe, was the sheriff of Bristol in 1446. A brass rubbing in Ashmolean Museum, Oxford: Parish: St Mary Redcliffe, Bristol Inscription: Thomas Mede, thrice mayor (1475) Coat of Arms: Gules a chevron ermine between three trefoils slipped argent. Sir Thomas Mede is probably the father of "Thomas Mede of Somerset" who went to Clavering, Essex, England in about 1470 and died there in 1504. The connection between Sir Thomas Mede of Wraxall, Somerset, and Thomas Mede in Clavering, Essex, England, is based on three pieces of circumstantial evidence.

First, the names. There were three generations of Thomas Mede(s) in Somerset and five or six generations of Thomas Mede(s) or Meade(s) in Essex, England.

Second, the coat of arms. Several Meades in Essex, England used the same coat of arms: a chevron ermine bewteen three trefoils slipped argent.

Third, Clavering. The niece of Thomas Mede of Wraxall, Isabel Mede, married Maurice de Bekeley. Maurice was related to Elizabeth de Berkeley (his father's first cousin), who owned the manor of Clavering, Essex. The manor passed from her to her husband, Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, and from him to his son-in-law, Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick.. Thomas Mede of Clavering moved to Clavering, Essex, in about 1470, dying there in 1504. Possibly he was rewarded with land for supporting the Berkeley family at the Battle of Nibley Green, or for supporting the Earl of Warwick in 1470, or simply to help out a cousin.

end of biography

"n 1438 Thomas Mede was elected bailiff of Bristol and in 1452-53 he was the sheriff. After that he apparently concentrated more on business, since he no longer appears in politics. In 1461 Thomas Mede and several others were granted a licence for foregn trade in a ship of less than 800 tuns.

The tomb of Thomas, Philip, John and Richard Mede and their wives, dated 1475, in St.Mary Redcliffe, Bristol, contains the upper Coat of Arms. The tomb, about 10 ft high by 18 ft by 3 ft, contains in one compartment the effigies of Philip and his wife and in the other a brass of Richard and his two wives. This rectangular brass shows Richard kneeling with his wife, his first wife behind him. Richard's helmet is in front of him leaving his head uncovered and showing his long hair.

On the left compartment of the the tomb there is a Latin inscription, part of which is missing. The assumed begining is in brackets:[Here lies Thomas Mede and his wife, and Philip Mede son of the] aforesaid Thomas Mede and thrice mayor of the town of Bristol, died the 20th day of December 1475, may God have mercy on their souls. Amen."

On the right there was once another Latin inscription, which was already obliterated when William Barrett wrote his 18th century history of Bristol. It said:"Here lies John Mede, burgess of the city of Bristol, who died the 17th day of April A.D.1496, and beside him rests Alice his wife, on whose souls may God have mercy."

Philip Mede's daughter Isabel married Maurice the younger brother of William 2nd Lord Berkeley. He was disinherited for marrying her but later became the 3rd Lord Berkeley. Philip supported the Berkeley family with his men at the last private battle fought on English soil at Nibley Green in 1470. Philip Mede was Mayor of Bristol in 1459, 1462 and 1469.

Thomas was once the sheriff and once bailiff of Bristol.

The Meads from Somerset, Bristol, Cambridge, Essex and London are all related, and the Meads from Leicestershire may be, though I don't know how.

Died:
Died in Battle of Mortimers Cross;

The Battle of Mortimer's Cross was fought on 2 February 1461 near Wigmore, Herefordshire (between Leominster and Leintwardine, by the River Lugg), not far from the Welsh border.[2] It was a major battle of the Wars of the Roses. The opposing forces were an army led by Jasper Tudor and his father, Owen Tudor, and other nobles loyal to the King Henry VI of the House of Lancaster, his Queen Margaret of Anjou and their seven-year-old son Edward, Prince of Wales on one side, and the army of Edward, Earl of March. Some sources say it was fought on 3 February, and the exact location has been the subject of some speculation.[3]

About Thomas Mede

According to William Barrett in "History and antiquities of the city of Bristol", Thomas Mede of Wraxall is the descendant (probably great grandson) of Nicholas atte Mede (born about 1305), who was assessed for taxes in Somerset in 1327/28. Sir Thomas Mede was his son.

end of profile

Thomas Mede (Thomas atte, Thomas atte) was born Abt. 1390 in Fayland, Wraxall, Somerset, and died 1455 in St.Mary Redcliffe, Bristol.

Thomas Mede was a merchant in Bristol. He was a juror in 1428 and was commissioned to collect taxes in 1429, 1430 and 1436. It is not certain that he was the same person as the Thomas Mede whose will was dated 1454 and was probated in 1455 in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC).
There are a couple of reasons to think he was.

The will of Thomas atte Mede says he was the rector of the church of Elizabeth in Mundford, Norfolk. He requested a stone in memory of "Thomas atte Mede, once rector of this church, and Agnes his mother." In the PCC records he is called Thomas Mede of St. Mary Redcliffe, Bristol. At the Bristol end there are references to Sir Thomas Mede. He was not a knight; this was a courtesy title given to a priest. The question remains how a medieval Catholic priest had children.

In fact, it was not uncommon for a widower to take holy orders. The more famous example of this in Bristol was William Canynges, who was ordained after the deathof his wife.

Children of Thomas Mede are:
