There is a question as to who the parents of Benjamin were. He is currently listed as son of Isaac Cantrell and Elizabeth Cantrell. They did have a son named Benjamin. However, Christie in The Cantrill-Cantrell genealogy states that this Benjamin is the son of John Cantrell and his wife Rachel Brittain. There is some evidence for this. Both Benjamin and John settled in the 96 District, Spartanburg, South Carolina not long after the end of the Revolutionary War (about 1780) and can be found living near each other. Isaac Cantrell did not move to South Carolina until 1795.

Biography

Benjamin was probably born about 1768 in Rockingham County, North Carolina. We sometimes find a date of 10 May 1768, but this is totally unconfirmed. It is difficult to be certain exactly who his mother was because we do not have exact death date for Isaac's first wife or date of marriage to his second wife. It is however, pretty well assumed that Benjamin was the son of Isaac's second wife, Elizabeth.

He grew to adulthood in Orange County, North Carolina. As a young man he and a brother made the move to the old 96th district of South Carolina. The section where he settled would later become Spartanburg County.

He married Charity Legate in 1788 and on the 1790 census were living near his brother, James and his family.

In 1805 he moved his young family to White county, Tennessee. He settled on the banks of Sink Creek and when Warren County was formed his land was in the new county.

Ben was an herb doctor and a farmer. It is mentioned that a daughter, Mary, was the first white child born on Sink Creek. He was a faithful member of the Bildad Baptist Church. He laid Charity to rest in the churchyard here in 1835.

According to records for his father, the family moved to South Carolina about 1795. But it appears as if Benjamin may have gone there sooner. He married his wife Charity Legate about 1788 in Spartanburg County. Benjamin is listed on the 1790 census in 96 District, Spartanburg County, South Carolina. In his household are 1 male age 16 or over, 1 male under 16 and 1 female. Also listed on this census record are James Cantrell, Abraham Cantrell, John Cantrell, and Samson Bethel (his sister Mary's husband).[1][2]

In 1800 Benjamin is still living in Spartanburg County. In his household on the 1800 census are:

2 males age 0-9
1 male age 10-15
1 male age 26-44 [Benjamin]
2 females age 0-9
1 female age 16-25 [Charity, although may be in the wrong age bracket][3]
Shortly after 1810 Benjamin moved his family to Tennessee, near the present site of Smithville. A 50 acre tract surveyed on 21 March 1812 was officially granted to Benjamin on 23 October 1814. This tract was on the south side of Sink Creek in Warren County, Tennessee[4]

Benjamin married Mary "Polly" (Durham) Magness about 1828 in Warren County, Tennessee. They had no children.

Benjamin last appears in records on the 1830 census in Warren County, Tennessee. His death is usually listed as occurring in 1843 or 1846, but there is no documentation for either date. In 1840 his son James Cantrell is living in DeKalb County, Tennessee. In James's household in addition to his wife, is a female age 50-59 who might be Benjamin's widow, Hannah Powell. James was appointed executor of Hannah's estate in November 1848 so it appears possible that the older woman in his household in 1840 was Hannah. If she is Hannah, then Benjamin must have died before 1840.[5]

At the time of the fighting in Ninety-Six District during the Revolution, he was about 12 years old; and it is said that while he was ploughing in the fields, that by lying with his ear to the ground he could distinctly hear the roar of the cannon. He appears in the census of 1790 in Spartanburg Co., NC as the head of household, and moved to Warren (now DeKalb) Co., Tennessee, by 1809. They were probably charter members of Bildad Baptist Church when it was organizaed in June 1809. benjamin was a deacon, church treasurer, delegate to the association in 1815 and 1820, and he remained active in the church until his death in 1846.

After Charity's death, Benjamin married second about 1828, Polly Durham Magness, who died by 1840; he then married third Hannah Powell. He probably had thirteen children, all by the frirst wife. Benjamin Cantrell's family is listed on pages 115, 116, and 117 of the 1908 Cantrell genealogy. Benjamin in that book was assigned as a son of John Cantrell, but the South Carolina court records show that to be in erro, as benjamin was actually a son of Isaac Cantrell. At least three of Benjamin Cantrell's daughters married Cantrells.

After posting the documentations for BARTON LOVELACE, first husband of LUCY WATSON, I had to revise my own direct line back to Capt. Abraham Cantrell and his first wife ??? ??? because he didn't marry Lucy Watson Lovelace until after 1786. This is what I now have.

Comments are welcome along with any other proofs or information. John "Johnny Flat" Cantrell's mother wasn't Lucy Watson Lovelace. I need any information for his full siblings Thomas and Richard. Mildred Seburn Clark

Marriage Notes for Abraham Cantrell and Lucy Watson:
Date of marriage to Lucy Watson of 1785 is from David Hennessee. It would have been after 1786 when charges were brought against Barton Lovelace, Lucy's first husband. He supposedly drowned in the Potomac Rive. No proof. William Cantrell drowned in the Potomac River during the Revolutionary War.

Children of Abraham Cantrell and ??? ??? are:

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.

Rebecca Davis Smith died in 1931. Nancy Strother Davis Lee was her daughter. John "Johnny Flathead" Cantrell was the father of Ellenor "Nellie" Cantrell who married John Lewis "Jackie" Davis. . Tom, Richard and Druzilla E. Cantrell were the children of Peter Cantrell and Mary Elizabeth "Polly" Davis, sister of John Lewis "Jackie" Davis. I have a paper copy of a photo of Rebecca Davis and her children from John Gray Davis-Mildred I. Seburn Clark.

end of biography

Birth: 1744
Virginia, USA
Death: 1826
Warren County
Tennessee, USA

He was the son of John Cantrell and was born in the big valley of Virginia where his parents moved in 1737.

He accompanied them to Orange co. North Carolina in 1753 but he never appears on North Carolina county records.


Who did he marry and where? The eldest son born 1771 was deceased by 1850, but the 2nd son John "Johnny Flat" stated on the 1850 census of Warren county, Tennessee that he was born in 1773 in Virginia.

The children of the 2nd marriage were born in South Carolina. He had two sons by 1st marriage and two sons and three daughters by 2nd marriage. Lucy seens to have died ca 1798 in the old 96th District, South Carolina. Abraham never remarried, he moved to Warren county, Tennessee in 1810 and son Richard sold him land, household goods and animals in May 1810.

Abraham died within 10 months after May 1825 and was buried at the Old Bildad Baptist Church Cemetery.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: Haw River, Alamance County, North Carolina
• Residence: 1783, Rutherford County, North Carolina

Notes:

According to family tradition, the Durhams were descended from the Durhams who were the Lairds of Grange in Forfarshire, Scotland. The original charter was granted in 1322 by Robert Bruce, King of Scotland, to Sir William Durham, who became the first Laird of Grange.

Robert Lee Durham said that his great-great-grandfather, Achilles Durham, was born in Virginia. Kate Durham, Achilles' great-granddaughter, said that he was born in England and came to Virginia as an infant with his parents.

In 1995, Marla Goodrich said she heard Achilles was in Lunenburg County, Virginia, prior to coming to North Carolina.

Achilles Durham moved from Virginia with his mother, Elizabeth Cates Durham, to the Haw River settlement of Orange County, North Carolina. There he married a widow, Mrs. Mary Cates Hardin, in 1770. In 1783, they moved to what is now Cleveland County, North Carolina, almost exactly on the line between Lincoln and Rutherford Counties.

Achilles' mother died in Rutherford County and was buried near where the present town of Shelby was later located. After the death of his first wife who was the mother of all his children, Achilles married Edith Hicks on March 21, 1806. They moved to South Carolina and settled in what is now Spartanburg County. Achilles died there and was buried at Buck Creek Baptist Church, which is a few miles north of Spartanburg.

I have numbered the generations and put a little information about these 11 generations of Durhams.I have siblings for some of these Durhams and more extensive notes, especially about problems resulting from information from different people.I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this information, as I got it from at least four different sources.If you want the complete file, email me at mdr36@gnt.net.Can you give me birth, marriage, and death dates forAchilles and his siblings?I’m hoping to connect Achilles to my DURHAMs.Thanks.

Some interesting reading on this family:

Greg,

Welcome to the list! The Achilles Durham (1825-1901) you mentioned who was married to Amelia Beam (1823-1900) was the son of Lemuel Newton Durham (1798-1881) and Temperance Scruggs (1802-1887). Lemuel was a son of Charles Alexander Durham (1773-1850) and Patience Davis (1772-1862). Charles was a son of Achilles Durham (ca. 1740 - ca. 1814)

I believe Elizabeth Durham (1779-1846), wife of Berryman Hicks (1778-1839)and mother of Artimency Hicks Lovelace (1813-1854), was the daughter of Achilles Durham (ca. 1740 - ca. 1814) and Mary Cates. I have the children of Achilles Durham and Mary Cates as follows:

Charles Alexander Durham (1773-1850)
Sarah Durham
Mary "Polly" Durham
Richard Durham (1777-1844)
Elizabeth Durham (born 1-31-1779 Orange Co., NC, died 4-24-1846 Spartanburg Co., SC)

Achilles Durham, supposedly as a youth, moved from Virginia with his mother,Elizabeth Cates, to the Haw River settlement of Orange County, North Carolina. There he married a widow, Mrs. Mary Cates Hardin, in 1770. He was listed in the 1779 Orange County tax roll.

In 1783, Achilles moved to what is now Cleveland County, North Carolina,almost exactly on the line between Lincoln and Rutherford Counties, bringing his mother, wife, and children.

Achilles Durham purchased 200 acres of land from Jonathan Davis on December 21, 1791 for 50 pds., and he sold the land to John Lindsey on October 8, 1792, for 60 pds. (Chatham County, NC, deed records).

There are two Durhams listed as heads of households in the 1790 census of would have included his mother. William Durham was listed in the 14th Company, Morgan District, with himself and one son over 16, and two women in the family.

Achilles' mother died in Rutherford County and was buried near where the present town of Shelby was later located. After the death of his first wife who was the mother of all his children, Achilles married Edith Hicks on March 21, 1806.

In "Rutherford County, North Carolina Abstracts of Wills, 1779-1822," p. 52,abstracted and compiled by Carolina Heath Davis, an Edith Durham received 10 shillings as the daughter of Richard Hicks. Two grandchildren with the surname Hicks also inherited.

On January 23, 1801, Achilles Durham purchased 100 acres of land on both David Forrester for $100. Witnesses were Beryman Hicks and David Cantrell. The witness oath was dated March 4, 1802, and signed by Beryman Hicks. The 330-332).

On December 9, 1809, Achiles Durham of Rutherford County, North Carolina, sold 100 acres of land on the waters of Buck Creek to Daniel Cantrell of Spartanburg District, South Carolina, for $140. Witnesses were John Martin, John Blackwell, and Dicy Hicks. The witness oath was dated August 18, 1812, and signed by John Blackwell. The deed was recorded on April 6, 1813 (Spartanburg County, SC, Deed Book N, 282-283).

In the 1810 census of Rutherford County, an "Acles" Durham was listed as head were also three children listed, the youngest under 10.

Achilles was buried at Buck Creek Baptist Church, which is a few miles north established by 1815, at which time he was not listed as a member. This would put Achilles' death sometime around 1813-1815.

Robert Lee Durham, a great-great-grandson of Achilles Durham, wrote an Thursday, April 30, 1936. He wrote, "I visited the Buck Creek Baptist Church and cemetery a few years ago; and found there are many unmarked graves in it; of this first Achilles Durham."

Here are the two original family accounts. This is the first Durham story.

Another old original document was written by Robert L. Durham who was a decendent to Achilles Durham. This clipping appeared in the Forrest City, North Carolina Courier Thursday, April 30, 1936. "The first Achilles Durham, who moved into Rutherford County about the year 1783, came from Virginia, bringing with him his mother, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Cates."

After years of searching for the illusive Elizabeth Cates let me share my findings. Throughout the world in the early 1700s there were only four places to find an Elizabeth Cates. In Norfolk, England, New Hampshire, Virginia with the Robert Cates family, and in Beaufort, North Carolina. If you believe the story that Elizabeth Cates was the mother of Achilles and Matthew Durham then you are looking for a person born between 1700-1715. Keep in mind also, that for practical purposes, Elizabeth Cates would have had been able to have children for a twenty year period. You then have to ask the question where were the other children? There were several women with name Elizabeth Cates, all born in that range between 1700-1715. The only problem, they all married someone other than a Durham and appear to have lived somewhere other than where we find Achilles and Matthew lived. A similar analysis was done with the names Margaret, Betty, and Rachel Cates. None of these names matched the Durham family story but were used with a high degree of frequency during this time. With all the information that has been gathered on the Robert Cates, Sr. family, there seems to be no child by that name either. Later generations give us several Elizabeth Cates, but none that could be the mother of Achilles or Matthew Durham.

"They came from the Haw River Settlement in Orange County, North Carolina where Achilles married Mrs. Mary Hardin, and their son, Charles Alexander Durham and presumably their oldest son, Richard Durham was born. To them was born a daughter, Elizabeth whether in Orange County or after they moved to what is now Cleveland County, but were at that time almost exactly near the line between Lincoln and Rutherford Counties. In this Lincoln--Rutherford home Elizabeth Cates Durham, mother of Achilles died and was buried in about a mile and one half of where Shelby was afterwards located."

Keep in mind that Elizabeth Cates died around 1783. This is important because it fits with our timeline for her birth and child bearing years. "After the death of his first wife (Mrs. Mary Hardin) who was the mother of his children, Achilles Durham married another widow, Mrs. Edith Hicks, on 21 March, 1808; after which they moved to South Carolina and settled in what is now Spartanburg County. Then Achilles died and was buried at Buck Creek Baptist Church which is eight miles north of Spartanburg."

A note on Achilles and the Buck Creek Baptist Church. Achilles died in about 1813 and there are land transactions showing that he donated land to the Church. Actual Church records and the formation of the Church took place in 1715. This has been confirmed by my visiting Buck Creek Baptist Church on several occasions.

Let's look at what can be gleaned from this story. A women named Elizabeth Cates existed. There are no birth records, and no account of who Matthew and Achilles' father was in this account. So what can we deduce? Elizabeth was not really the mother of Achilles and Matthew, or she was some other relationship to them. Keep that idea in the back of your mind.

Here is the second Durham story. The earliest known reference to the Durhams of Scotland can be found in a manuscript entitled, History of Nathaniel Evans of Cat Fish Creek and his Decedents, by James Daniel Evans in 1905. It appears that Cicero A. or C.A. Durham provided the original information. (He would be almost five generations separated from the first Achilles Durham.) Durham Excursus.*

Major Solon A. Durham was the oldest son of Charles Crawford and Eunice Jane (Evans) Durham of Shelby, N.C. Charles Crawford Durham was born 20th February, 1820, and died 1st August, 1897. He saw service through the Civil War for the South. He was the son of Charles Alexander Durham, born 5th June, 1773; died 13th March, 1853; married 31st January, 1793. Patience, daughter of Capt. Benjamin Davis, who was born 24th December, 1731; married Rebecca ___________, born 25th October, 1741. Capt. Davis was prominent in the forces of the Revolution. The father of Charles A. Durham was Achilles Durham, Esquire, of Haw River, North Carolina, and was born about 1720. He was brought as an infant by his father, William, from England. He married Mrs. Catharine Hardin. His father, William, was lineally descended from William, 9th Laird of Grange. ( Since I Was Born, written by a descendent of Achilles Durham, Robert L. Durham very clearly states that his ancestor came from Forfar, Dundee Scotland).

This story is more appealing to me than the first. It has more truth, and yet makes less sense. I'll explain this as we go along. Many researchers have pointed to a Thomas Durham as a potential father to the boys. And then there is the Thomas Durham who married Margaret Peggy Lindsey. Let me stop and review what we have on him. Thomas is thought to be born in Durham, England in 1695-96. The problem I have on him is that we have birth records dating back to the 1200s in England, and yet there is no specific date for his birth. This is the same problem I have with the 1720 date associated with the second story of Achilles Durham's birth. And if by some chance Thomas and Achilles, and Matthew were Scottish, then we should see them also with a real month, day, year date in the very good Scottish Records. Another point that makes Durham research difficult in Scotland are the many variations of the spelling Durham: Durham, Dirram, Dorham, Dunholme, Durame, Dureame, Dureham, Duren, Dirom, Dyrham, Durhame, and Durrame. I have encountered each during my research with the Scottish Records Office.

One conclusion is that the Durhams came from Ireland where records were lost. Another conclusion is that these individuals were born in wilderness areas of America where just no records existed. In Thomas case, I believe he was born in England around 1700-1705. With Achilles being born in 1720 and we know he died in 1813, well you do the math, 93 years. Possible, not likely. From 1740 to 1770 what was Achilles doing, and where were all the children he might have had during this time? In the years 1720-1722 there are no know records of William Durham on a ship manifest.

… It is my firm belief that Matthew and Achilles were also orphaned. They were raised by the Cates family in Virginia and later North Carolina. This is evidenced by the name "Richard" Durham taken from the Robert Cates', Sr. family. Later, we see that Achilles marries a Cates.

Elizabeth Pugh, wife of Robert Cates, Sr. helped to raise the boys. They did farm work, then learned surveying skills (Chain Carriers) as evidenced by land transactions uncovered by Dr. Banks Cates. In 1770 Achilles is still surveying and searching for iron ore on the Yadkin River. (Quaker Meeting House near) Elizabeth Pugh also outlived Robert Cates and probably died around 1783.

And it is from this Cates-Durham relationship born out of hardship and survival that we see how they call Elizabeth Cates their mother, which is a connection that no one could prove. Look at the tons of Cates notes provided by Dr. Banks Cates which show the Cates family migration from Virginia to Orange County, North Carolina. It is clear that Durham and Cates became interconnected through their Quaker faith. And if you follow the locations where you find the Durham and Cates families you will see the southern migration patterns of the Quakers. Researchers will note that the Cheek family who intermarry with the Durhams were also Quakers that migrated to Orange County, North Carolina. And the very first time we see Achilles Durham as an adult, he is surveying near the Yadkin River, home to many of the Quakers who migrated from Pennsylvania.

His name is spelled Akillis in some NC records (North Carolina Marriages 1717-1868, Hunting for Bears).

Shirley CARTER says he was born in VA, and came to the Haw River settlement of Orange Co., NC with his widowed mother, Elizabeth, while in his youth. About 1783, Achilles came to Rutherford Co., NC along with his mother, wife and children; they settled near the Lincoln/Rutherford Co., line where present-day Shelby is. His mother died there. His wife, Mary, died shortly after 1800.

Following information from notes compiled through the CantrellCousin Project.......... First, NOTES from Warren G. Cantrell ..........

"One of Isaac's descendants stated in 1928 that Isaac married first, Talitha Cloud, and that she was a granddaughter of William Cloud, of County of Wilts, England, who bought 500 acres of land from William Penn, came over in 1682, landed at Philadelphia, and after tarrying awhile in or near that city went far into the woods, settling at length, in what is now the town of Concord, in Delaware County, PA. His house was just across the state line from New Castle Co. As the eldest child of Isaac was born in 1751, we can assume that the marriage was about 1750 and it would indicate that if Talitha was a Cloud, then her parents had also lived in the big valley of VA.
We know that Isaac became an ordained Minister of the Baptist Church. There is no doubt that the last 60 years of Isaac and John Cantrell's lives, they devoted much of their energy to God's work and they became part of God's design for America. Hundreds of descendants have followed in their footsteps."

Isaac is first located in the county records of Old Orange Co., NC 14 Dec. 1756, when he purchased 200 acres of land from the Earl of Granville and the deed was witnessed by Wm. Churton. In the Caswell Co. land grants, we find where Isaac was granted 202 acres of land on a ridge between the waters of County Line Creek and Jordon Creek. He sold this same land to his brother, John, 13 March 1759, and the sale was witnessed by James Watson. On the 10th of Nov. 1761, he purchased 280 acres of land from Robert Cate, Sr. and the deed was witnessed by Robert Cate, Jr. A purchase of 115 acres on the Northeast side of Haw River below Collins Creek is recorded 30 July 1760 in Caswell Co. land records and 13 Aug. 1765 in Orange Co., as a purchase from the Earl of Granville.

On the 26th of April 1768, he sold 300 acres to Henry Pickett Jr. and the deed was witnessed by Thomas Cate. In the Minutes of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions of Orange Co. in the Province of No. Carolina, Court of Aug. 1764 at Childsburg which was then the name of the county seat, changed to Hillsboro in 1766, Isaac was appointed to a Grand Jury that was called and sworn. In the same Court, Isaac and other neighbors were appointed to a Road Jury to lay out a road to Tinnigs Mill, thense to Crow's Ford, thense to Cape Fare Road and to make a report to next Court.

A church, Wolf Island Primitive Baptist Church, was formed by Isaac Cantrell and he was pastor of the Church for over twenty years. The Rockingham County Court Minutes indicate that the Church was locally known as "Cantrell's Meeting House" as early as 1785 and as late as 1807. It is noted that the first known pastors of Wolf Island Church owned and lived on the same farm. The land was first owned by Isaac Cantrell who sold the property to Clement Whittemore in 1798. In 1803 Whittemore sold the land to Thomas Moore, who deeded part of the farm to his son-in-law Robert Shreve in 1831. Robert Shreve was a step-son of Robert Cantrell, grandson of Isaac Cantrell. There are many purchases, sales and witnesses of deeds by Isaac Cantrell until he migrated to the old 96th District of SC.

Isaac Cantrell Estate Papers--File 736, Spartanburg County, S.C. & Court of Common Pleas, Judgement Roll #302

According to Annette Pirkle Starr, Isaac Cantrell died in Spartanburg SC and left a will dated Aug.23, 1805. She also stated that he had (at least rwp) two wives, Talitha CLOUD and Mary LINDER. Mary is shown as the widow in the following documents. John Pirtle, George Purtle, Sarah Pirtle, and Isaac Pirtle- "grandson of the said Isaac Cantrell" attended the proceedings. It's likely that John Pirtle is John Pirkle of Rockingham Co. NC, George - John's son. Sarah Pirtle is probably John's daughter-in-law, Sarah Cantrell Pirkle, wife of William Sr., in attendance with her son, Isaac K. Isaac Cantrell was born about 1733 according to Lawrence Bankston's testimony ,"He was about 72 years old."

3. Isaac Young deposeth he was not in his riight senses in regard to the Church, He never agreed to anything to as to stand to it.



4. Esq._____Turner

He knew him for 10 years and did not think he was in proper senses. He only knew him in the Church and thought him childish in that respect and that it was common talk in the neighborhood that he was
in his dotage, that he lay on a sick bed 2 years ond one month before he died.

5. Capt. J. Turner

deposeth he very often saw him and thought he was possessed of as strong a mind as the nature of his infirmanent and age would admit. The dec’d asked him to be Executor and he refused because
the children were not all equal.

9. William Garrot

Deposeth he the dec’d was of a right mind and could do his business. That he was an industrious man, never kept an overseer and he thinks he directed his farm and he thinks he was in his proper mind. Some years ago he did not seem submissive to the church and he thought he might not be right.

(Conclusion of protest Inquiry)

Decided:

That the Will as far as respects the personal property is valid and sufficiently proved. But it is not sufficient to convey the landed property.

Birth:
formerly New Castle Co., PA

Religion:
Primitive Baptists, are also known as Hard Shell Baptists, Anti-Mission Baptists, or Old School Baptists. The adjective, "Primitive", in the name has the sense of "original".

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.

Isaac married Elizabeth Cantrell. Elizabeth died in 0___ 1772 in Reidsville, Rockingham County, North Carolina; was buried in Wolf Island Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery, Reidsville, Rockingham County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Following information from notes compiled through the CantrellCousin Project.......... First, NOTES from Warren G. Cantrell ..........

"One of Isaac's descendants stated in 1928 that Isaac married first, Talitha Cloud, and that she was a granddaughter of William Cloud, of County of Wilts, England, who bought 500 acres of land from William Penn, came over in 1682, landed at Philadelphia, and after tarrying awhile in or near that city went far into the woods, settling at length, in what is now the town of Concord, in Delaware County, PA. His house was just across the state line from New Castle Co. As the eldest child of Isaac was born in 1751, we can assume that the marriage was about 1750 and it would indicate that if Talitha was a Cloud, then her parents had also lived in the big valley of VA.
We know that Isaac became an ordained Minister of the Baptist Church. There is no doubt that the last 60 years of Isaac and John Cantrell's lives, they devoted much of their energy to God's work and they became part of God's design for America. Hundreds of descendants have followed in their footsteps."

Isaac is first located in the county records of Old Orange Co., NC 14 Dec. 1756, when he purchased 200 acres of land from the Earl of Granville and the deed was witnessed by Wm. Churton. In the Caswell Co. land grants, we find where Isaac was granted 202 acres of land on a ridge between the waters of County Line Creek and Jordon Creek. He sold this same land to his brother, John, 13 March 1759, and the sale was witnessed by James Watson. On the 10th of Nov. 1761, he purchased 280 acres of land from Robert Cate, Sr. and the deed was witnessed by Robert Cate, Jr. A purchase of 115 acres on the Northeast side of Haw River below Collins Creek is recorded 30 July 1760 in Caswell Co. land records and 13 Aug. 1765 in Orange Co., as a purchase from the Earl of Granville.

On the 26th of April 1768, he sold 300 acres to Henry Pickett Jr. and the deed was witnessed by Thomas Cate. In the Minutes of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions of Orange Co. in the Province of No. Carolina, Court of Aug. 1764 at Childsburg which was then the name of the county seat, changed to Hillsboro in 1766, Isaac was appointed to a Grand Jury that was called and sworn. In the same Court, Isaac and other neighbors were appointed to a Road Jury to lay out a road to Tinnigs Mill, thense to Crow's Ford, thense to Cape Fare Road and to make a report to next Court.

A church, Wolf Island Primitive Baptist Church, was formed by Isaac Cantrell and he was pastor of the Church for over twenty years. The Rockingham County Court Minutes indicate that the Church was locally known as "Cantrell's Meeting House" as early as 1785 and as late as 1807. It is noted that the first known pastors of Wolf Island Church owned and lived on the same farm. The land was first owned by Isaac Cantrell who sold the property to Clement Whittemore in 1798. In 1803 Whittemore sold the land to Thomas Moore, who deeded part of the farm to his son-in-law Robert Shreve in 1831. Robert Shreve was a step-son of Robert Cantrell, grandson of Isaac Cantrell. There are many purchases, sales and witnesses of deeds by Isaac Cantrell until he migrated to the old 96th District of SC.

Isaac Cantrell Estate Papers--File 736, Spartanburg County, S.C. & Court of Common Pleas, Judgement Roll #302

According to Annette Pirkle Starr, Isaac Cantrell died in Spartanburg SC and left a will dated Aug.23, 1805. She also stated that he had (at least rwp) two wives, Talitha CLOUD and Mary LINDER. Mary is shown as the widow in the following documents. John Pirtle, George Purtle, Sarah Pirtle, and Isaac Pirtle- "grandson of the said Isaac Cantrell" attended the proceedings. It's likely that John Pirtle is John Pirkle of Rockingham Co. NC, George - John's son. Sarah Pirtle is probably John's daughter-in-law, Sarah Cantrell Pirkle, wife of William Sr., in attendance with her son, Isaac K. Isaac Cantrell was born about 1733 according to Lawrence Bankston's testimony ,"He was about 72 years old."

2. Lawrence Bankston He knoweth the testator about 50 years, The dec’d had a ver bad pain in his head & he the dec’d told him he thought it made him dull. He was about 72 years old. He done little by business but trusted to his wife or generally asked his wife, when a person came to settle, if it was not so and so.


3. Isaac Young deposeth he was not in his riight senses in regard to the Church, He never agreed to anything to as to stand to it.



4. Esq._____Turner

He knew him for 10 years and did not think he was in proper senses. He only knew him in the Church and thought him childish in that respect and that it was common talk in the neighborhood that he was
in his dotage, that he lay on a sick bed 2 years ond one month before he died.

5. Capt. J. Turner

deposeth he very often saw him and thought he was possessed of as strong a mind as the nature of his infirmanent and age would admit. The dec’d asked him to be Executor and he refused because
the children were not all equal.

6. John Pirtle,

cross examined deposeth that about 14 years ago he thought was out of his senses but at the time he signed the will he was in his proper senses.

He had known the dec’d from a boy. He Drew the Will contested. He signed his name as a witness and was named an Executor.. He requested the deceased to take his name out as an Executor. That he did believe that he was of disposing mind and memory, at least it was so to the last he knew and he thinks this to be same.

9. William Garrot

Deposeth he the dec’d was of a right mind and could do his business. That he was an industrious man, never kept an overseer and he thinks he directed his farm and he thinks he was in his proper mind. Some years ago he did not seem submissive to the church and he thought he might not be right.

(Conclusion of protest Inquiry)

Decided:

That the Will as far as respects the personal property is valid and sufficiently proved. But it is not sufficient to convey the landed property.

Birth:
formerly New Castle Co., PA

Religion:
Primitive Baptists, are also known as Hard Shell Baptists, Anti-Mission Baptists, or Old School Baptists. The adjective, "Primitive", in the name has the sense of "original".

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.

Isaac married Talitha Cloud in 1751 in Eden, Rockingham County, North Carolina. Talitha was born in 0Sep 1731 in New Castle County, Delaware; died in 1768 in Reidsville, Rockingham County, North Carolina; was buried in Wolf Island Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery, Reidsville, Rockingham County, North Carolina.

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


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.

Surname: Durham

This name, with variant spelling Durram, is of English locational origin from the city thus called in the North East of England. Recorded variously as Dunholm circa 1000, as Dunhelme in "Historia Anglorum", dated 1122, and as Donelme in the 1191, Fine Court Rolls of that city. The name derives from the Old English "dun", a hill, plus the Old Scandinavian "holm(r)", (Northern Medieval "holm"), an island or piece of raised land partly surrounded by streams. The surname first appears on record in the mid 12th Century, (see below). One, William de Durham, witness, appears in the 1236, "Fine Court Rolls of Essex", and a Robertus de Durham was one of twelve Scots knights appointed to settle the laws of the marches in 1249, "Scottish Acts of Parliament". Walter Durham of Dumfriesshire rendered homage to Edward 1 in 1296, and Lawrence Durham was recorded in the 1400, London Assize Court Rolls. Sir Philip Charles Henderson Calerwood Durham (1763-1845), wounded at Trafalgar, 1805, became G.C.B. and admiral, 1830. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Osbert de Dunelm, which was dated 1163, in the "The Pipe Rolls of London", during the reign of King Henry 11, known as "The Builder of Churches", 1154 - 1189. 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.

end of this comment

The father of Charles A. Durham was Achilles Durham, Esquire, of Haw River, North Carolina, and was born about 1720. He was brought as an infant by his father, William, from England.

He (Achilles) married Mrs. Catharine Hardin.

His father, William, was lineally descended from William, 9th Laird of Grange. ( "Since I Was Born", written by a descendent of Achilles Durham, Robert L. Durham very clearly states that his ancestor came from Forfar, Dundee Scotland).

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.

end of comment

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.

Joseph Cantrill was born about 1695 in Philadelphia, Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania. He died in New Castle, Pennsylvania. He was buried in possibly Orange County, North Carolina. "Joseph Cantrill was born about 1695 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and spent his early boyhood in that city. Married Catharina _______. They were living 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. It is probable that Catharina was a daughter of one of the Old Swedes, first settlers of this section, but we could not verify this. Their first three children were baptized at the old historic church still used and known as Old Swedes, which is one of the oldest and quaintest churches in this country.

"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 distant from the church. The city of Willmington is built on the Swedish "church land" and the charter for the town was granted in 1735. At the time Joseph Cantrill 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 descendants of Richard Cantrill lived there from before 1720 until 1797, though the majority moved south during this period. Children: Hannah, born March 20, 1720; baptised April 25, 1720, at Old Swedes; John; Joseph; Zebulon; Isaac; a daughter (name unknown." (THE CANTRILL - CANTRELL GENEALOGY, 1908, by Susan Cantrill Christie, page 7.)

"Joseph Cantrill, son of Richard, was born about 1695 in Philadelphia, PA., where he probably spent his boyhood years and moved south to the lower counties of PA. after reaching manhood. He married Catherine Heath about 1718. She was a daughter of John and Hannah Haines Heath. John Heath was a grandson of Thomas Heath who came to America from England in 1635 on the ship, SAFETY, landing in VA. and who later moved north to the lower counties, which later became part of Delaware. Joseph was probably a farmer in New Castle county.

We know that they were attending Holy Trinity (Old Swedes) Church in Wilmington as three of their children were baptized at this oldest and quaintest church in the nation.

Christina Parish was mostly situated on both sides of Christina Creek and partly on both sides of Brandywine Creek in New Castle county.

The most remote families were not more than six and one half miles from the church. Wilmington was first known as Christina and was built on Swedish "Churchland", and the charter was granted in 1735. 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. A complete list of the children has never been found, but the following was compiled from the family genealogist and from county court records of Orange County, North Carolina."

(Carolyn Sue Mitchell Bouska, 15001 Quail Drive, Balch Springs, Texas 75180-2447; tele: 214-557-5532, 1993 - 1995, as per "The Cantrill-Cantrell Genealogy, A record of the descendants of Richard Cantrill, who was a resident of Philadelphia prior to 1689, and of earlier Cantrills in England and America," by Susan Cantrill Christie, later revised and published again by J. R. and Jackie Cantrell, further revised and published in 1973 by Joseph Caten.)

"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. It stretched two Swedish miles in length and one in breadth. The most remote families of the parish were not more than six and one half English miles distant from the church.

The city of Wilmington is built on the Swedish "churchland" and the charter for the town was granted in 1735. At the time, Joseph lived there it was known as Christina. Most of the earliest records of this locality have been lost or destroyed and at the best are very incomplete. There is evidence, however, from some of the scattered records in New Castle Co., that possible descendants of Richard Cantrill lived in the area from 1720 to 1787, although the majority had moved south during this period. There is a published work of the wills and probates of New Castle Co., during the period of Joseph's residence, but it fails to reveal evidence of Richard or Dorothy's death.

From the records of the western part of VA. we know that in 1738, Joseph and his brother, Zebulon were in Orange County, VA.. A Rev. William William, an early Presbyterian minister filed suit for libel against dozens of the settlers in the Valley. The list of defendents encluded Zebulon Cantrel and Joseph Cantrel. 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.

The following list is compiled from the baptismal list, the list provided by the family genealogist in 1907 and from the county records in Orange County, North Carolina."

(Carolyn Sue Mitchell Bouska, 15001 Quail Drive, Balch Springs, Texas 75180-2447; tele: 214-557-5532, 1993 - 1995, as per Warren G. Cantrell, 1913 Willowbend, Killeen, Texas 76543.) He was married to Catherina Heath about 1718 in Holy Trinity Ch., New Castle, DE.



It is probable that Catherine was the daughter of one of the Old Swedes, first settlers of the section.

Her first three children were baptised in the Old Swedes Chruch. At this time the old location was called Christiana.

{Warren G. Cantrell STRONGLY DISAGREES that Catherine is a daughter of John & Hannah. There were five Heath families in the Philadelphia area. Why would he marry a girl from MA which was so far away....9/2/1995/DAH}

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.

Biography

Elizabeth Wyatt was born 1712 in Henrico County, Virginia to parents Edward Wyatt and Frances Sykes. She married Robert Cate 1728 in Henrico, Virginia.[1] They moved eventually to Orange County, North Carolina.

When the father of his father in law made out his will it named ELIZABETH, left the house/plantation where Robert and Elizabeth were living, to a Wyatt. Robert Cate was one of the witnesses.[2]

Children:
Thomas (known as Thomas Road, due to being surveyor) 1725
Sarah1725,
Robert1727
RichardM1730,
Joseph1736,
Charles1739,
Thomas1740,
Ann1742,
John1753

Robert Cate had "tenure" of a plantation, which belonged originally to Edward Mathews. This plantation was near Curles Meetinghouse on Four Mile Creek, Henrico, Virginia. Perhaps he was only "renting". He and Elizabeth decided to move across the James River into Prince George County. The Quit Rent Rolls of 1704 show him owning 100 acres there.

Robert signed marriage certificates for marriages held at the Burleigh Meeting House about 1723 and 1724 in North Carolina.

Accounts of estate of Timothy Bridges mention Robert in 1723 as it was recorded in the minutes of the Prince George County Court.

Elizabeth Wyatt Cate passed away November 5, 1765

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.

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.

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.

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 Pegg. [Editor's Note - Daniel was his brother-in-law.]They built the first brick house in Philadelphia. -------------------- Name: Richard Cantrill 2

Richard's baptism was on 13 May 1666 in Bakewell Parish, Derbyshire, England. Bakewell Parish was a brickmaking area, and very likely Richard gre4w 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.

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.

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.

English (default) history

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.

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.

The logical thinking was---- where in England was Tanning of Hydes done during that period. I have relatives living in different area there. I ask them to research different facts for me. Colyton England was the answer.

Richard Nehimiah Cates [Editor's Note: Robert's twin.] was indentured to Benjamin Harrison Jr. near Henrco Co. on the James River. There are no records for him after he arrived . Presumed that he died or ran away before serving his term of indenture. Benjamin Harrison Jr. was in the habit of "borrowing" names of imported individuals for the purpose of obtaining tracts of land under the head rights law. This was not an unusal scheme during that time.

Our Cates were not finished with Benjamin Harrison Jr. LATER some of the sons of Robert Cate Sr ( shoemaker) had the task appointed to them when Benjamin Harrison Jr. died to take inventory of his assets.

I am confident that this research from England is correct.

William Abraham and Margaret Agnes Cates had Twin Sons: born 21 August 1667, Robert Ezra Cates and Richard Nehimiah Cates .These sons were christened at Saint Andrew Church in Colyton, Devon, England . Religion was Calvinism (which soon evolved to Presbyterian )

This was researched for me in England .

This next text about Robert ( indentured servant ) is from a Book written by: Philip Alexander Bruce -1895

Robert Cate b.1667 Colyton, Devon, England "The Shoemaker" Our Ancestor There are different dates found in this book as well as others that my cousin searched, for the exact date on the contract of Robert CATE'S Indentured service to Peter Wyke . There could be a mis-print. Robert would have been only 12 according to the 1679 date in this one. Looking at the 1689 date and recording of OCT 1689 found by Banks Cates Jr. also on Ken Cates' site seems more reasonable. You can decide. .

Book Published 1895 Title : Economic History of Virginia - written by Philip Alexander Bruce The Mac Millian Company --Volume 2 pages 478-479

"The leading planters were in the habit of importing shoemakers from England for the same reasons that moved them to bring representatives of other trades. Fitzhugh writing to John Cooper, one of his London correspondants,in 1662, requests him to send over to Virginia several shoemakers, with lasts,awls,and knives, together with half a hundred shoemaker threads, some twenty ot thirty gallons of train oil and proper colorings for leather. He had set up a tan-house and wished to convert the product into shoes on his own plantation.( 1) The need of importing shoemakers was probably greater in the Northern Neck, in which part of the Colony Fitzhugh resided, than in the older communities, where the representatives of trade was more numerous and more skillful.
The county records of that period contained many indentures between planters and shoemakers. Of these, a fair example was the contract of Robert CATE and Peter Wyke of Henrico in 1679. CATEentered into bonds to serve Wyke for a term of four years.He was to be exempted from task of planting and tending tobacco, but he was required to perform all other agricultural work; he was to receive by way of remunerations, food, drink, apparel, washing,and lodging, and when his agreement expired , a good suit and three barrels of Indian corn were to given him. It will be observed that while CATE was engaged principally for his knowledge of the shoemaker's trade, he was also expected to make himself useful in other branches of industry.(2)
This was probably the case with all classes of machanics who earned a livelihood in employment of landowners in the seventeenth century."

Joan Benton) In return Cate is to receive apparrell, meat, drink, washing and lodging, and at the expiration of his term, one good suit of apparrell and three barrels of Indian Corn.Signed by Robert (X) Cate and Peter Wyke, witnessed by Wm. Glover and Thomas Cocke, and recorded in Henrico Court in October 1689.

In 1693 Robert married "Ann A" in Virginia. No other detail about her name is given on VA marriage records. On later records she is referred to as Ann Cate or Anna Cate. (Some have put a Mary Ann Randall as the wife, but all her family records show them living in MA throughout.)

1 Apr 1695 (Age: 27) Prince George, VA After completion of indenture, he announced in court his departure from Henrico Co. VA to Prince George County, VA.. He moved south across the James River.

He became a Quaker in VA and attended the Burleigh Monthly Meeting group that started in 1719. Apparently he was active in the group. His name is seen on several marriage certificates and records of ceremonies done there in 1723 and 1724. ` Can you add any information on Robert Cates? Please help grow his WikiTree profile.

I too first had Mary Ann Randall (editor's note:daughter of John Randall, 47377) as wife of my ancestor, Robert Ezra Cates. However, when I looked more carefully I could only find Mary Ann and her family coming and staying throughout their lives in MA.
The one connection I could see was that they both were from Colyton, Devonshire, ENG. Perhaps they knew each other as children (childhood sweethearts).

The only Mary Randall I could find coming to VA around that time arrived in 1728. Robert married in 1693.

The VA Marriage records list his bride's name only as Ann A. Later records of her seem to say Ann Cate or Anna Cate.

It is hard to be sure, but I could not find support for Mary Ann Randall, so deleted her and parents from my records on Ancestry.

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.

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

The logical thinking was---- where in England was Tanning of Hydes done during that period. I have relatives living in different area there. I ask them to research different facts for me. Colyton England was the answer.

Richard Nehimiah Cates was indentured to Benjamin Harrison Jr. near Henrco Co. on the James River. There are no records for him after he arrived . Presumed that he died or ran away before serving his term of indenture.
Benjamin Harrison Jr. was in the habit of "borrowing" names of imported individuals for the purpose of obtaining tracts of land under the head rights law. This was not an unusal scheme during that time.

Our Cates were not finished with Benjamin Harrison Jr. LATER some of the sons of Robert Cate Sr ( shoemaker) had the task appointed to them when Benjamin Harrison Jr. died to take inventory of his assets.

I am confident that this research from England is correct.

William Abraham and Margaret Agnes Cates had Twin Sons: born 21 August 1667, Robert Ezra Cates and Richard Nehimiah Cates .These sons were christened at Saint Andrew Church in Colyton, Devon, England . Religion was Calvinism (which soon evolved to Presbyterian )

This was researched for me in England .

This next text about Robert ( indentured servant ) is from a Book written by : Philip Alexander Bruce -1895

Robert Cate b.1667 Colyton, Devon, England "The Shoemaker" Our Ancestor

There are different dates found in this book as well as others that my cousin searched, for the exact date on the contract of Robert CATE'S Indentured service to Peter Wyke . There could be a mis-print.
Robert would have been only 12 according to the 1679 date in this one. Looking at the 1689 date and recording of OCT 1689 found by Banks Cates Jr. also on Ken Cates' site seems more reasonable. You can decide. .

Book Published 1895 Title : Economic History of Virginia - written by Philip Alexander Bruce The Mac Millian Company --Volume 2 pages 478-479
"The leading planters were in the habit of importing shoemakers from England for the same reasons that moved them to bring representatives of other trades.
Fitzhugh writing to John Cooper, one of his London correspondants,in 1662, requests him to send over to Virginia several shoemakers, with lasts,awls,and knives, together with half a hundred shoemaker threads, some twenty ot thirty gallons of train oil and proper colorings for leather. He had set up a tan-house and wished to convert the product into shoes on his own plantation.(ref 1)
The need of importing shoemakers was probably greater in the Northern Neck, in which part of the Colony Fitzhugh resided, than in the older communities, where the representatives of trade was more numerous and more skillful.
The county records of that period contained many indentures between planters and shoemakers. Of these, a fair example was the contract of Robert CATE and Peter Wyke of Henrico in 1679. CATE entered into bonds to serve Wyke for a term of four years.

He was to be exempted from task of planting and tending tobacco, but he was required to perform all other agricultural work; he was to receive by way of remunerations, food, drink, apparel, washing,and lodging, and when his agreement expired , a good suit and three barrels of Indian corn were to given him.
It will be observed that while CATE was engaged principally for his knowledge of the shoemaker's trade, he was also expected to make himself useful in other branches of industry.(ref 2)

1500 to 1699
Some thatched stone cottages and larger merchant's houses still survive from this era. The construction of the fine and rare octagonal lantern on top of the church tower indicates the wealth of Colyton during this period.

The Feoffees. Landowner Henry Courtney was beheaded by Henry VIII and his lands were confiscated. Local merchants and yeomen raised 1,000 marks and bargained with the Crown for the return of that portion of the estate which lay within Colyton. (1,000 marks was about 400 times the annual income of a successful merchant). The community regained the properties under a Deed of Enfeoffment on condition that an assembly of Feoffees ensured that all the income was spent on "good and commendable" uses for the community.

The Feoffees were inaugurated in 1546. To this day the Feoffees form the town council and carry out the terms of the Deed of Enfeoffment for which they are the trustees.

The Civil War. The Colyton Parish registers contain many entries of soldiers killed in skirmishes in the Civil War of 1643. Colyton was the virtual battleground being situated between the Royalists at Colcombe Castle near Axminster and the Parliamentarians stationed at Stedcombe near Lyme Regis.

Rebel Town. During the Monmouth rebellion of 1664, Colyton earned an entry in Chancery records as "the most rebellious town in Devon".

Robert Cates;

We have concluded that Robert Ezra Cate arrived in Virginia in 1689 from his home in Colyton, Devon and that he is a son of William Abraham Cate and Margaret Agnes Ingles. But the trial has run cold with William Abraham.
I propose the following:

There is a William Cate born to William and Agnes Cate in Chardstock, Devon in 1639. This would be in the right time frame for our "William Abraham". In records of this time there are very few men named Abraham. But one stands out, Abraham Edwards. Abraham Edwards married Mary Cate and lived in Chardstock, working a tenement of land from the Bishop of Salisbury. Along with him working lands of the Bishop were Edward Cate, William Cate and Christopher Cate.

After some additional digging we have a expanded the theory a bit.

We now think that William Abraham Cate, father of Robert Ezra Cate (the Shoemaker/Quaker) was born in 1639 as the third child of William Cate and Agnes Dummett Cate. William Cate was born in Chardstock, Dorset (just 20 miles from Colyton) the son of Christopher Cate and Margery Pyke Cate. Christopher was born around 1580 but parentage is not known. He was by 1635 a tenant farmer of the Bishop of Salisbury's lands in the Chardstock area.

Any information on the parents of Christopher Cate may help us link up to known family members going back as far as 1500.
Anyone interesting in pushing back the family line into England?

William Abraham Cate

Have discovered my forefather William Abraham Cate born about 1640-1650. lived on Elscombe Lane near Keat's Mill in Yarcomb Parish, Devonshire. Any known records of his exact dates, parents names, anything would be appreciated. He had two sons, Robert Ezra Cate & Richard Nehimiah Cate (twins born August 21, 1667) who immigrated to VA in 1689.

Wow. I am officially tantalized.
What is the source of this info on William Abraham. I didn't have anything other than a name.

Buteo

The population studies of Colyton in the 1600s indicate that people had small families and did not start children until later in life, women average age about 25, men 30. So your time frame for William's estimated birth may be closer to 1637, plus or minus a few years. Do you know if Robert and Richard had any siblings?

Wiliam Cate/s of Coleydon
The particular information that I quoted came from genealogy.com Regional: U. S. States
Virginia Genealogy Forum posted by John Cates Oct 22, 2004. I find his research to be very accurate, if he is unsure, he will state such. Much more intensive information can be found on genealogy.com. general forums. Cate forum. FYI ,William was reportedly born in 1647.
Let me know what you can sort out from all this. I have much to read.

William Cate's wife
By the way, his wife's name was suposedly Mary Agnes Ingles. No proof.

Ingles
My information is that William Abraham married Margaret Agnes Ingles.

The 1647 date is, I believe, a conjecture and not based on any particular record. If there is a record I would be thrilled to know. The date is found in the LDS database which is why it is bandied about. But the LDS database accuracy is only as good as the accuracy of its contributors.


Are you ready for some conjecture on William?

I don't have the records yet to back this up but here is my working theory: William Abraham is the son of William Cate who married Agnes Dummett in 1633. They had several children including a William born in 1639, very close to the conjectured date for William Abraham's birth. William was, in turn, the son of Edward Cate who is, I believe the same Edward mentioned in the will of Agnes Cate created in 1621 and probated in 1627. In that will she mentions her children: Joane, Edward, Mary and Emi. I find marriage records for all four. Mary, for example married in 1613 to Abraham Edwards who apparently married her when she was pregnant from her first husband, Richard Pike, who she married in 1612. I believe it was Abrahams willingness to marry a pregnant widow and provide for her child that endeared him to the family and thus, when nephew William is naming children he names one William Abraham Cate. (The name Abraham was not at all common among any of the families in the area if you look around). Agnes cate mentions in her will her good friend: Agnes Edwards. In addition, Abraham had a tenancy on lands of the Bishop of Salisbury by 1635 and who else is there: William Cate in a co-tenancy with his own father in law: Christopher Dummett. And Edward, brother to Mary.

If this conjecture plays out then William Abraham's parents were William and Agnes Cate, grandparents were Edward and Elizabeth Cate, great grandparents were Agnes Cate (husbands name unknown but could be Peter, John or Hugh) and grandfather is William Cate, the one likely born in Colyton in 1527 and likely one of the sons of Thomas Cate (the name mentioned as the father of Robert Cate born in Colyton in 1525). By the way, Agnes Dummett was the daughter of Christopher Dummett and Thomasina Mitchell. Thomasina's parents were Alexander Mitchell and Johane (Joan) Palfraye and Johan's parents were Richard Palfraye and Florens Bolly, all from the Chardstock area.

These links are logical to me but I lack the direct records of birth,marriage,death to complete these. But the stories have held together after new data has come to light and I am getting increasiningly convinced I am on the right track. Still can't find anything on the lineage of Robert Ezra's mother though. Please take the foregoing with a great grain of salt but it is sometimes helpful to have a construct to assist in searching, so long as one is willing to change the narrative when new information upends old assumptions.

Hello, I am also working on the theory that William Abraham Cate was the son son William and Agnes Dummet . William was born 1639 according to DORSEt OPC in Chardstock. I am very interested, if you have found anything else. Also are you aware, that a William Cate of Colyton, who died 1670. Had a will, which is at Wiltshire Archives. Thank you, John

Many of us are tracing the Cate(s) family out of America and back to England.Most Cates tracing relatives back to Virginia are able to connect with Robert Ezra Cate (the Shoemaker or The Quaker) who arrived in 1689.He and his twin Richard were christened at St Anthony's in Colyton, Devonshire in August, 1667 to parents William Abraham Cate and Margaret Agnes Ingles.But the trail has been hard to follow back to the cluster of Cate family in the early 1500s.

I have a theory that needs documentation and support to see if it is valid or at least demonstrably invalid.Here goes:

William Abraham Cate may be the William Cate born to parents William Cate and Agnes (Dummett) of Chardstock (some 20 miles away and a source of other Cate family.William was a son of Christopher Cate and Margery (Pyke) of Chardstock.His aunt Mary Cate was married to a Roger Pyke (Margery's brother?) who died while Mary was pregnant.It is believed her next husband Abraham Edwards married her either before the baby was born or soon after.Certainly the kind of act that might engender enough respect that a future child may be named in his honor.

Thus the family line in Devon would be:

Robert Ezra Catem. Mary Ann Randall (in Virginia)
William Abraham Catem. Margaret Agnes Ingles
William Catem. Agnes Dummett
Christopher Cate m. Margery Pyke (married 1614)

If this doesn't make sense then I am happy to be wrong, at least we would know this line is not an option.

Biography

Captain Nicholas Wyatt ( by Nina Reauveau, NSDAC #39614)

Nicholas Wyatt, like so many men in the colony questioned whether Governor Berkeley was acting in the colony’s best interest -- in his best interest. He had his doubts. He listened to the other farmers and to Nathaniel Bacon and even to his brother-in-law, William Rookings, who was Nathaniel Bacon’s right hand man. Most of the complaints were about the frequent attacks by the Doeg tribe and wanting them pushed further west. It was particularly unsafe for the indentured servants and the slaves and when the Doeg killed Thomas Mathew’s son and two servants, they had had enough. Still Governor Berkeley refused to meet their demands and on the evening of September 19th, 1676 they gathered in Jamestown and promptly set the town ablaze.

While historians continue to debate and theorize about the "real" cause for the rebellion, one thing is certain, it was perhaps foretelling of what was to come and most certainly the first rebellion by the colonist on American soil. The town was nearly burned to the ground before the Governor was able to regain control. He ordered some 20 men executed by hanging and seized the property of many other land owners. Nicholas’s brother-in-law, William, died in jail in waiting to be executed; he appointed Nicholas as guardian of his three children.

Nicholas was born in 1647 to Anthony Wyatt and Mary Chapline. His father, Anthony, had only recently arrived from England and Mary, the daughter of Capt. Isaac Chapline, was born and raised in Jamestown. Her father had arrived in 1610 and built Chapline’s Choice which he presented at the first House of Burgess. As newlyweds, Nicholas’ parents, made their home on Chapline’s Choice, later inheriting the property from Isaac Chapline and likewise, Nicholas inherited it from his father. As fate would have it, Nicholas’ father’s house was one of the houses that burned in the rebellion and the original patent for Chapline’s Choice was lost. In 1686 Nicholas patented it anew, describing it as an area of 361 acres and as lying on James River between Parson’s and Bicker’s Creeks.

Seems a strong sense of community and duty were to be Nicholas’ legacy from his father and grandfather. Both of them had served in the House of Burgess and when his grandfather developed Chapline’s Choice he included a fort as protection from the Indians for all who lived there. Once the rebellion was squashed, Nicholas picked up from there and joined the Charles City militia. After several successful and impressive skirmishes with the Indians, he earned the title of Captain. He was, also, a successful planter and served the community as commissioner and justice of the peace. He settled down with Frances Egbrough and together they had at least four children; Anthony, Nicholas, who died in infancy, Edward and his only daughter, Susannah.

I am descendant from Nicholas’s daughter Susannah who married Benjamin Ricks. Susannah died early in her marriage producing only one child, also, named Nicholas. I humor myself thinking about my 8th great grandfather and this first rebellion on American soil and when anyone questions my own sense of rebellion, I smile and tell them “I get it honestly” as we say here in Virginia.

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.

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

Biography

The William and Mary Quarterly, Ser. 1, Vol. 10, No. 4 (July 1903), p. 261[1]

Anthony Wyatt was a member of the House of Burgesses for Charles City county in 1645, 1653, and 1656. He lived at Chaplin's Choice, near Jordan's Point in that part of Charles City county, now called Prince George.

This place in 1619 was the plantation of Capt. Isaac Chaplin, who represented it in the first House of Burgesses.

In 1686 Capt. Nicholas Wyatt patented it anew, discribing it as in area 361 acres and lying on James River between Parson's and Bicker's Creeks.

He states that by the burning of his father's house and that of the secretary at Jamestown, the original patent to Chaplin's had been lost.

In 1676, Nicholas Wyatt, the son was a supporter of Nathaniel Bacon, and a brother-in-law of Capt. William Rookins, of Surry county. (Surry Records.) He married Frances (Rookins?), and in 1680 was one of the justices of the county, with the title of captain.

In 1715 he confirmed to Edward Hill, of Charles City county, certain land known by the name of Burleigh and the Old Town, which had been left to his sons Anthony and Nicholas by the will of George Sparrow, of Martin's Brandon, dated Feb. 16, 1675, and which land had been sold by Nicholas Wyatt, Sr., by deed 15 Feb., 1680, for 7,000 pounds of tobacco and 31 ¹ of lawful money, to Edward Hill, Sr., of Charles City county, Esq., dec'd, the money having been paid, pursuant to said Sparrow's will, to his son Anthony Wyatt, the other son, Nicholas, dying in infancy.

The deed was witnessed by William Braine, John Wyatt, and Peter Finney. Capt. Nicholas Wyatt, "aged and weak," made his will in Prince George county, April 14, 1720, and it was recorded December 2, 1720; names Elizabeth Wyatt, daughter of son Anthony Wyatt, deceased,

granddaughters Frances Wyatt and Susan Wyatt, grandson John Wyatt, Nicholas Reeks, son of daughter Susannah Reeks, dec'd, legacy to Anthony Wyatt, and son Edward, to whom my plantation and land.

There is a deed from John Sykes and frances his wife, of Prince George, for sixty acres in the Old Church Fields, at a place called Martin Brandon, being the lower third of the land on which Anthony Wyatt lived, and which he was siezed in right of his wife Elizabeth, and which afterwards descended to John Wyatt (as heir at law to said Elizabeth), and who dying seized thereof the said land descended to his three daughters, of whom Frances Sykes is one, dated February 10, 1722.

On May 10, 1726, Capt. Edward Wyatt, Sr., of Martin Brandon, made his will, naming daughters Elizabeth and Sarah Wyatt, and sons Edward and Francis.

In 1728 Edward Wyatt, son of Edward Wyatt, had not yet attained twenty-one. (Deed.) Henry Wyatt, of Prince George, and Mary, his wife, sold a slave to Hon. John Carter, of Charles City county (Note b.) Feb. 3, 1727, which slave was devised to said Mary, by Edward Hill, of Charles City county, deceased. In

1718-19, Michael Talbot, of Prince George, left legacies to Edward, Eliza, and Francis Wyatt, children of Capt. Edward Wyatt and to John Reeks. In 1721, the estate of Anthony Wyatt was credited with the cost of the burying of Hanah Wyatt and John Wyatt. Edward Wyatt.

It appears, then, that Capt. Anthony Wyatt (died about 1645) had issue, Capt. Nicholas2 Wyatt (died about 1720), who married Frances ---, and had issue Anthony3, Nicholas, died infant, Edward3, and Susanna3, who married [Benjamin; this is proved by a Goochland Co., Va., deed] Reeks, and had Nicholas.

I have Anthony Wyatt as Nicholas's father, born in England about 1604 and died in Virginia in the 1660s. Also, I have Damaris's maiden name as Stockett. She died in 1699. Their daughter Sarah married Col. Edward Dorsey. Is this wrong? Enquiring minds want to know.

Notes:

Residence (Family):
The area that would become Charles City County was first established as "Charles Cittie" by the Virginia Company in 1619. It was one of the first four "boroughs" of Virginia, and was named in honor of Prince Charles, who would later become King Charles I of England. After Virginia became a royal colony, the borough was changed to "Charles City Shire" in 1634, as one of the five original Shires of Virginia. It was subsequently changed to the present name of Charles City County in 1643.

Charles City County is part of the Greater Richmond Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2010 census, the county population was 7,256, making it one of smaller counties in Virginia by population.[1] Its county seat is the town of Charles City.[2]

All six children may have been baptized in St. Mary Magdelan Parish but it was not noted for the first four. More information was contained in the entries for the younger children.

The 1674 date for emigration of John would indicate that Nicholas, his brother, came earlier since Nicholas's son, William, was born in Virginia in 1668. The wording of reference is ambigious, maybe he came earlier and filed the petition later.

BIOGRAPHY

Nicholas was a bookseller. There are, at least, two books which were sold by Nicholas Fussell that are are now in rare book collections in university libraries and several are in the Library of Congress. These books show that Fussell's shop was one of several located in the churchyard of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, England, "at the ball." His store was at the north door of the Cathedral. One of the books was published in 1632 and the other in 1648, long before Oliver Cromwell died in 1658. (Per Tom Sullivan post of 8 Sep 2003 on Fussell message board at ancestry.com) One of the books was: "The compleat horseman and expert ferrier: In two bookes. The first, shewing the best manner of breeding good horses, with their choyce, nature, riding and..." by De Grey, Thomas. London: Printed by Thomas Harper, and are to be sold by Nicholas Fussell, at his shop in Pauls Church-yard at the great north doore, at the signe of the white Lyon and Ball, 1639."

After having his entire estate confiscated by Parliamentarian forces during the English Civil War, Nicholas Fussell, a bookseller of London, was "reduced to such necessity that he was forct to send two of his Sons [as] Comon Servants to Virginia."

Nicholas married Judith Camp on 6 Aug 1627. They were the parents of: Judith, Nicholas, Jane, John, Anne, and William.

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]

Comments (Suggest a change: Christopher Cate (I39813)): Just to let u know i believe Christopher's father and grandfather were both william . i too am descended from the Cates. i have sent for wills for both williams and their widows in the hope of proving it beyond doubt. after a new vicar came to chardstock in late 1690s all Cates became Keate. Richard my ancestor born s/o Christopher Cate died in 1688 as keate. the new vicar it seems thought that the Cates were spelled the same as his name of Keate. there r 2 other william's one Christopher's son the other Edward's son. im not sure which is which both a similar age, u will be able to confirm this on the www.chardstockwebmuseum.org webite, hope thats helpful - sandy

Isaac Chapline, Ensign in English Royal Navy, to America with Lord Delaware in 1610. Settled in "Chaplaine's Choyce" in 1622.

Isaac Chapline, Ensign Royal Navy, came to America in the "Starr" in 1610 as King's Council under Lord Delaware. He was granted large tracts of land on the south side of the James River in the Parish of Jordan's and on Bicker's Creek, which land he named "Chapline's Choice" - Hotten's Original Lists.

In 1622, Isaac Chapline was joined by his wife Mary Chapline and their son John Chapline, who came to America in the "James" accompanied by four servants. - Colonial Records of Virginia Land Book, Vol VII, p. 531, Richmond, VA, Henning's, etc.

In "Original Lists of Persons of Quality Arrived in Virginia from 1600 to 1700" by John Campden Hotten, published in New York in 1874, p. 213:

Muster of Inhabitants of Chaplain's Choyse, taken Jan. 21, 1624.
Muster of Ensigne Isack Chaplaine. Isack Chaplaine arrived in the "Star" in 1610 and took up 250 acres of land south of James River from the falls, and named it Chaplain's Choyse. Mary, his wife, and John ,aged 15 years, arrived in the James in 1622.
Servants Robert Hudson, age 30, John Duffield, age 14, Henry Thorn, age 18, and Ivie Banton, who was Mrs. Chapline's maid.
Pg. 267. Patent of 50 Acres of Land to Isacke Chapline in 1626. Corporacion of Charles Cittie. 100 in Worsqueacke, later.

Pg. 269. Territory of Great Wyanoke. Isacke Chapline 200 acres planted.

By Patent.

See also "History of First Settlements of Virginia" by John Burk, Vol I, also "virginia Colony of London, 1606-1692," Vol I, pg. 84.

Isaac Chapline probably made visits to England during this period. I do not imagine he was separated from his wife for 12 years. The word "kinsman" often occurs in Hotten's Original Lists where child is meant.

It is said that when Isaac Chapline called the attenion of the ship's captain to the spelling of his name "Chaplain," the captain replied, "We will then add an 'e'" and so it stood in the quaint spelling of that day, Isacke Chaplaine." In a second place Hotten spells the name Chaplin. It is sometimes spelled Chapline, and in this generation so prevails.

John Smith's History of Virginai p. 269, says: "Chapline's Choice" lay on south side of James River in Parish of Jordan's and on Blicker's Creek.

* From "The First Seventeen Years""Virginia 1607 - 1624""Jamestown Booklet No. 1" Author Charles E. Hatch, Jr.Univ. Press of Va., Charlottesville 1957, English Printing 1987 pages 68 and 69:


"Chaplain's Choice (23)"


"This plantation appears in a listing in 1624.In March of that year, too, Isaac Chaplain represented it in the Assembly.This was another of the number of particular, or private, plantations founded in Virginia in the 1619-24 period.It is generally assumed to have been located in the area to the east of Woodleefe's Plantation.It was noted in May, 1625 that Isaac Chaplain had 200 acres which were "planted" in the "territory" of great Weyonoke."He has as well, what may have been a personal stake, 50 other acres in the Corporation of the Charles City."


"In 1624 a total of twenty-four persons were living "At Chaplains choice" and a year later the head count stood at seventeen (thirteen males, four females)This figure, as did the other muster statistics, included the Trulove Company people and goods.This embraced two boats, but only two houses, forty-one barrels of corn and some small amounts of peas, meal and oatmeal plus three hogs and forty-eight fowl.There were reasonable amounts of small arms and armor and six pieces of ordnance.The latter, an unusually high figure for a private plantation, included one falconet and five "murderers."Some tobacco was being produced, for "John Trehern of Chaplins Choise" exported "one hogshead" in 1625. A lawsuit ensued when the ship captain sold it, although it had been consigned to Trehern's brother. As satisfaction he was to get "two hundred & thirty waight of tobacco in leafe and smother together with one hogshead."

6624. Issac CHAPLINE was born in 1585 in , England. He died about 1650 in , Charles City, Virginia.
THE SETTLERS
The Indians looked on the early settlers as invaders of their area but since it was only one or two families at a time coming into the areas, the Indians were not too concerned. They were still very much in control. The white man also brought with him items from Europe which the Indian had never seen. The settlers learned the ways of the Indian, how to hunt, trap and plant crops, etc., while the Indian learned about construction, guns and civilization. It was a unique experience for both.
Western Maryland had no difficulty with the Indians except on individual situations where the settler would deceive or cheat the Indians or hard feelings would arise which would usually result in a massacre of the family.
In March, 1732, Charles - Lord Baltimore offered 200 acres of land in fee simple for 40 shillings sterling to any settler who would go over the mountain into Western Maryland so that they could "populate the back lands of his province".
As the settlers came they felt no need to build forts because the Indians were friendly. They built instead, small log cabins, cleared land and started to farm, hunt and carve a way of life.
The Great Spring (where Sharpsburg is today) ever flowing with its large cavern beneath, provided fresh water for stock and the early resident that settled close-by.
The "Belinda Springs" about two miles away along Antietam Creek was the campground area and water supply of the Catawbas. They preferred this "Health water" to the river water. It tasted different and by legend provided good health.
About 1740, the Catawbas left the area and the Delawares took over the control of the upper Potowmack. For the most part, the area was deserted except for a few scattered settlers.


THE CHAPLINE FAMILY


The Chapline family can best be described as having adventure in their hearts and daring in their souls. They were a military family as evidenced by the six generations that answered the call of their allegiance. They were also a family of the law with numerous generations supplying lawyers, justices and judges.


As an insight into early American History and how the Chaplines' progressed to the point of Joseph Chapline founding Sharpsburg, we go back to the time when American was first settled.
Isaac Chapline, born in England in 1585, was the latest in a long line of aristocratic Chapline's. He entered the English Royal Navy, where, as a result of his high family position, soon became a Captain of one of her Majesty's ships. In 1606 he married Mary Calvert, daughter of Leonard Calvert of the founding Maryland family, that governed for 139 years from 1632 to 1771.
Isaac first came to America on June 9, 1610, on his ship "Starr" bringing Lord Delaware the first governor of Virginia. The "Starr" and the other two ships accompanying him were loaded with 200 settlers and supplies.
They arrived in the James River near Jamestown just as the last few remaining early Jamestown residents had given up hope and boarded their ship to return to England and forsake this difficult land.
Had Isaac not arrived in time it is interesting to speculate whether America would have developed as we know it.
England had already had several major setbacks in America and was ready to give up on colonizing the new world, but with the new people and fresh supplies, Jamestown was saved and reestablished. Isaac was appointed a member of the Kings's Council to the colonies, a position he held for many years. All lands at this time were known as Virginia, named for the Virgin Queen. Maryland was sectioned out and established in 1632 when Charles Calvert came as the Lord Proprietary.
Isaac and Mary had their first son, John, born in England in 1607. Isaac and his family decided to immigrate to America in 1622. They brought with them their five servants and were granted several large tracts of land in what was then still Virginia. In 1623 Isaac and his wife Mary had daughter Mary and in 1625, son William was born. It is this son William, we will follow in developing the Chapline lineage.
He was married to Mary CALVERT in 1606.

"Chaplin, Isaac, came to Virginia with Sir Thomas Gates in 1610, and Mary, his wife, arrived in 1622. He patented "Chaplin's Choice," on James river, near Jordan's Point, in 1619.

The patent called for 200 acres. In 1629 he represented Chaplin's in the general assembly.

Later "Chaplin's Choice" was owned by Captain Anthony Wyatt."

"The Chapline Family: A Genealogical and Historical Start-1999

This writer is putting together some of the data from many files he has collected and it should be clear that many, many individuals have contributed to those files . I intend to develop this work with the help of known persons and others, yet unknown. References will be mostly brief and largely unused so that the flow of the History and Families involved can be read more easily. The final work should be fully documented and referenced to the degree possible - but that may be some years ahead!

Readers will likely find statements that will be at odds with their notes and or oral history. I expect that , so please share your data of all kinds with the writer as he is only , as of now, just able to aim for the best record of these wonderful families he can find. Already he has three or four separate and different "facts" for many dates for many early Chaplines . Studies of old documents and old style accounting of individuals lead to multiple "truths" and puzzling incongruities.

I hope the story will be interesting and useful to those of you that plan on studying and re-studying your lines that depart from what I have arbitrarily thought to be the "center" families. Mary Calvert, sister of Lord Baltimore and wife of Ensign Isaac Chapline, is very likely the last named Calvert in the Chapline history since 1650 in America. Her apparent death by 1683 marks the end of Calvert genealogical influence on the Chaplines but help to Joseph Chapline’s sons came about 80 years later when those sons appealed to Lord Baltimore(Cecil) to re-validate the grant his father had made to their father- Joseph. Cecil Calvert not only did that but he stated that his love for his KINSMEN dictated that he grant the warrant -"In perpetuity". This document almost proves the close relationship between Mary and Lord Baltimore and that they knew , communicated and interacted with each other well past the early 1600s. That warrant is in the possession of the descendants of Joseph Chapline of Washington Co. MD.

In the Beginning:

Lillian Etter (who knows so very much about the Calvert family) wrote me that the site of the Calvert’s older home outside England was most likely where Belgium is now - and near the present centrum of Brussels, but what was then the countryside outside of early Brussels. She and her husband Bill - now desceased, who was a NATO official (Naval Officer) then, even attended a function at the manor house which she tentatively has identified as the Calverts home base in the pre-1400s. She is an expert genealogist as well as a linen collector! She guesses that some merchant Calverts left Belgium for England and helped forward the processing of wool by their methods and probably helped in manufacturing garments. Some historians even say that Calvert was probably descriptive of one who worked in the cattle industry, calving, etc.). Lillian descends from Lord Baltimore (George) and his wife, Ann Mynne.

The earliest mention of Calvert in English records so far found is a widow in 1350. Let me caution everyone that the variant spellings (ie. Colvert, Calvards, Culvert, Calvart, etc) and difficulty with early English writing also hamper the search for names. However, in England, the places people lived are closely tied to their names in many cases. Places were named for people and people were named for places and that helps to interpret when all else fails.

The author has been intrigued with the small town in Yorkshire called Danby Wiske. Leonard Calvert (Father of George and Mary Calvert) may have been born here. Leonard’s own father was probably from there also. As I studied Leonard’s wife’s side of the family I see that these Hawksworths had a lady who would seem to be George and Mary’s aunt - an heir to her father’s estates - who inherited Danby - a manor in Yorkshire! If her own children did not need or have any use for Danby, she might have ceded it to the Calverts because of an even OLDER marriage or alliance between the Hawksworths and the Calverts (or Leonard’s wife - Grace Crossland ). Intermarrying and marrying "back-in" was one prime way to keep land in the hands of family and hence influenceable persons! The most ancient manor in Danby is but a ruin today and may go back to the 1100s. But perhaps the Hawksworths controlled it in those times or those who married into the Hawksworths such as Wentworths or Radcliffes or Hawkes (Guy Hawkes the anti- parliment fellow who attempted to blow up that place - was one of this allied family and his "day" is celebrated every year in England!) In any event, I believe that the Hawksworths may have had consolidation reasons for ceding Danby to the father of Leonard Calvert . Leonard’s son George, acquired his own place Kiplin and built Kiplin Hall which today is being restored with the help of the University of Maryland. My wife Ann and I have toured the building and it is really a wonderful museum of various periods of art and furniture.

Mary Calvert is reported to be the daughter of Leonard Calvert and Grace Crossland. Her birth in 1685 is noted in the IGI in the LDS records, and mentioned by several well known Maryland historians (Newman and Parran). She married Isaac Chapline in 1605 and had son John in 1607. Her Crosslands go back to several notable English families (ie. Beaumont) and her Hawksworths include Wentworths, Aclams, Conyers, Radcliffes, etc. - many connections to Kings and the like for those interested.

The next year Ensign Isaac Chapline was teamed up with Lord Delaware to bring supplies to the Jamestown Colony and to study the peninsula now owned by VA, MD and DE. They got to Jamestown in 1609 just in time to keep the remaining colonists from leaving! Their supplies saved the day! Whilst exploring afterwards with Lord Delaware, Isaac saw a perfect bluff side on the south side of the James River about 20 miles west of Jamestown (near the city of Hopewell VA) and was given a grant there by the King -personally , report some sources - said to be the first non-corporation grant. My wife and I have found the almost exact area - now expanding with a development!! (We also found the area using copy of 1624 map JLB & Alice)

Mary and John left England in 1622 and settled on Chapline’s Choice with several servants and other settlers after building a superior fort. Isaac got land credit for those he was able to transport. Chapline’s Choice reported Indian attacks but only 2 died (outside of his fort supplied with two cannon) Mary had two more children after John - Mary and WILLIAM (our First in a long line of Williams!). Mary and Isaac had servants come to America with them and still we have not one other fact about her following the note of her having Mary and William! She conceivably could have succumbed to an illness about the time her Husband -Isaac- was reported lost at sea in 1628. Daughter Mary married Anthony Wyatt about 1639 and their son Nicholas Wyatt eventually gained "Chapline’s Choice" for his own in 1683 and by then our William (I) had died (1669) in Calvert County, MD and had married three times (Ann Bancroft, Mary Hooper and Mary Richardson). William had gone to MD with wife Bancroft and a daughter about 1651. His marriage to Mary Hooper shows one son (William(II)b.1659, and daughters Eliz.b.1651 and Mary b.1653. Records in Calvert Co. MD were totally destroyed in the 1700s so very little non-land records exist. The land records had to be duplicated from extant documents. So take marriage and births and the like very cautiously!

There was a large Hooper family in Calvert Co.and later across the bay in Dorchester Co. and Mary Hooper’s family was from there. Many copied records list her as Mary Hopper but we know she was a Hooper and much about that families genealogy. William Chapline’s(II) sister - Mary got land in Dorchester Co. and their families began to "drift apart". The "Eastern Shore Chaplines began to spell their names either Chaplain or Chaplin and relatives of them are believed to have migrated to NC early, spelling their name Chaplain. Little evidence exist as to the nature of these two banches regarding each other. Both were socially oriented and well respected, as were their "marry-in" families of Travers, Keenes, Hoopers, Richardsons, Rileys, Stocketts, Plummers, Formans, Frys, Swearingens, and etc.
----------------------------------first installment—End of Part

William (II) married an Kimbell first (no known Issue) and then Elizabeth Travers secondly. She brought Travers, Keene, Hooper(also) ancestors to the Chapline blood line. Their son William III was well situated in Prince Georges County and after a possible marriage to Eliz. Black he married Elizabeth Riley - a descendant of the illustrious Riley (O’Reilly) clan of Ireland [I now have Bob Riley’s new two volumne work -published in August 1999-and am still reading!]. She had all of his children apparently and their christenings and births are in the St. Barnabus Church records. Their first son named William died as an infant and their second William IV was their last son. Most of this Chapline family left and moved North and West up further in Prince Georges County. And, when the large county split into Frederick and Washington Counties they moved into Frederick County (the part that was later named after Washington!) However William IV and his father moved across the river into Frederick County VA (now Jefferson County WV) not more than a few miles from older son Joseph Chapline and Moses Chapline in MD with the Potomac River in between!

William IV married Ann Foreman about 1748 and they had sons Isaac (Sr.) and Abraham. Isaac became a well to do planter and Abraham became a real Revolutionary War Hero. Just before the war, Isaac’s son Isaac was born and Isaac Sr. was a member of the local militia, mustered several times for engagements with the Indians and the British. His father William IV was considered a premier Indian fighter and during earlier Indian engagements he was scalped but survived. (and wore a hat from then on?!)

Abraham, had superb references from his superior officers during the revolution - Clark and Rogers! He got good land in KY after the war - land next to Daniel Boone! Daniel borrowed things incessantly apparently, according to Abraham Chapline. Chapline reported the loss of his favorite horse to the County authorities. They reportedly publicized the loss by tacking the "new" blurb on Boone’s gate! Somehow the horse found his way home that same afternoon!

Some of the children of Abraham moved on to the South and joined with the Hodges and Burwells and other families before moving off to Arkansas. In Arkansas, the Chaplines and allied families became important members of their communities and State - serving as judges and the like. Blossom Chapline was named as one of the state’s 5 top debutantes Interestingly, a Fouke girl was also pictured as one of the five debutantes. Both families are related to my wife’s lines!!

In 1991 we visited a lady who descended from the Chaplines, Burwells, Chicks and etc. Her father was a mayor of Sarasota and she grew up like a tomboy. She became a talk show host and an unofficial Marine during the second world war. A year before she died she was honored by the Marine Corps with a certificate and a ceremony. We got to visit "Petry" Chapline Swalm at her mountain home in the NC mountains. She was 87 and not very well. However she was very happy to meet us and we stayed 2 days and interviewed her and she us. I took about 5 hours of video which included most of her genealogical data she had sought and put in a series of little black books. Petey died two months after our initial and the other sessions we planned for June were never done! Her notes and books , etc are safe with a neice but a tremendous challange even for a library staff. Petey sang and played the piano for us and this is the first part of a neat original song about tomboys: "When I was a little ol’ tomboy, My life was full of fun,-- like fishin’ an’ huntin’ with my hound dog an Grandpa’s ol’ shotgun." Etc. etc.

Petey’s notes in her small black books are hard to read on the Video I took at her NC mountain home on Jan. the 3rd and 4th 1991. But this afternoon I was able to decipher several pages fairly accurately. My new video recorder is very much better than the old one so maybe I will get even more material from the difficult handwritten parts?! Petey’s trip to England is read by her on video tape (with certain editing!) and it is apparent that she was not as clear as she once was as to what and when but she wrote nice notes of much interest to me anyway! I was amused that one noon while with Sir John Ruggles-Brise, she reported that she consumed some wine and a double scotch. She reports on the tape (with a wink and a grin) that ,"Sir John and I got along very, very well!!
-----------------------------------------------------
In "Maryland Genealogies" book, under Calvert Family, pages 132-134, is written: "The monumental inscription on the tomb of the first Baron mentioned his father Leonard (and his grandfather, John Calvert), who was a country gentleman of means, who lived, near Danby Wiske, at an estate called Kiplin, in the valley of the Swale, Yorkshire. This Leonard Calvert was born about 1550 and married, about 1575, Grace (more often called Alicia) Crossland, daughter of Thomas Crossland (who died Aug., 1587) and Joanna, his wife (who died July, 1575). The issue of this marriage is unknown save one son, George Calvert, the founder of Maryland, but it is probably that Mary Calvert (who was born in 1586 and married, in 1606, Captain Isaac Chapline, R.N.) was a daughter of Leonard Calvert and Grace Crossland. (Two of their sons settled in America: John Chapline in Virginia and William Chapline in Maryland). In his will, the first Lord Baltimore refers to his "kindred" in the "North" (i.e, of England, Yorkshire), but there is no record of any of them and he mentions none by name."

In Barron's "History of Sharpsburg, Md.", it says Isaac Chapline in 1606 married Mary Calvert, daughter of Leonard Calvert of the founding Maryland family.

Annotation: In the years from 1925 to 1942, Frederick A. Virkus edited seven volumes with the title, The Abridged Compendium of American Genealogy, published in Chicago by the Institute of American Genealogy. Each volume has a section in the main body of the work, complete in itself, entitled "Immigrant Ancestors," containing much genealogical information: vol. 1, pp. 965-997; vol. 2, pp. 387-421; vol. 3, pp. 645-692; vol. 4, pp. 727-777; vol. 5, pp. 741-793; vol. 6, pp. 749-819; vol. 7, pp. 825-895. The section in vol. 7 appears to be the most complete and it has been reprinted. Thus that 1964 reprint list is the only one appearing in no. 2048, Filby, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index. The Virkus work supplies facts on birth, ancestry, time and place of arrival on this continent, marriage, and death of each immigrant that it includes. A more complete list of immigrants to America before 1750 whose surnames begin with the letter A or the letter B through "Battles" is contained in the material listed in item no. 9450.

Notes:

Little is known of the ancestry of the Yorkshire branch of the Calverts. At George Calvert's knighting, it was claimed that his family originally came from Flanders (a Dutch-speaking area today across the English Channel in modern Belgium).[1]

Calvert's father, (an earlier) Leonard, was a country gentleman who had achieved some prominence as a tenant of Lord Wharton,[2] and was wealthy enough to marry a "gentlewoman" of a noble line, Alicia or Alice Crossland (or sometimes spelled: "Crosland").

He established his family on the estate of the later-built Kiplin Hall, near Catterick in Yorkshire.[3]

George Calvert was born at Kiplin in late 1579.[2] His mother Alicia/Alice died on 28 November 1587, when he was eight years old. His father then married Grace Crossland (sometimes spelled: "Crosland"), Alicia's first cousin.
