Phil:

We have corresponded before. Have been reviewing dna results lately. I'm Wm. Roberts b. 1765 kit 130762.

I also match as you do closely to the John Roberts b. 1733/35 of Surry Co NC. As for a possibility that your JAMES 1807 was the son of WM., son of JOHN 1733/35 of Surry, I looked over Earl Roberts extensive research. He's now deceased, desc. of John 1733/35, but he's got a pretty well documentation of that family.. James b. ca 1805 (whom you mentioned is prob the same James as yours who went to White Co. TN) and family all seemed to stay in Grayson Co. Va.. James 1805 children: Lorenzo Dow b. 1831, Joseph 1833, Phoebe 1837, Nancy 1845, Micajah 1846 and Peter
1849. I don't see any hints of his moving to TN, but I guess it could have happen.

Now, I descend from Wm. Roberts of Lee Co. Va. With that said, my dna matches are the closest to Earl and other known descendants of John 1733/35 of Surry as yourself, but I'm 99% certain my Wm Roberts did not descend directly from John of Surry. Besides John had a son already named William so my Wm. can't fit in his family. So, in my case, it seems that descendants who we are almost certainly closer related to me (such as yourself most likely) than John of Surry show a MORE DISTANT DNA match??? Go figure. I don't understand it.

Here's my latest family projections, *not proven of course* with help from others and dna:

COL. JAMES ROBERTS (Tory/Loyalist leader) of Snow Creek Va. b. ca. 1720s (also had property in Surry Co. NC that was confiscated due to Tory involvement, and likely bro of John Roberts b. 1730s of Surry Co. NC, that you show below)

Col James issue:

-CAPT. JAMES ROBERTS b. 1747 moved to Lee Co./Hawkins Co. area, helped raise sister Happy Riddle's children per old Riddle fam. book.
-CORNELIUS 1749 Russell Co. Va., killed 1788 by Indians (currently awaiting dna results from desc)
-JESSE ? 1763 of Clay Co. Ky.
-JOHN 1750 Va, of Buncombe Co. NC
-HARRIET "HAPPY" b. 1740s m. Wm. Riddle, Tory leader.
-WILLIAM ROBERTS of Lee Co. Va. b. 1740s (from Henry/Grayson Co Va area) m. Elizabeth Walling, dau. of Elisha Sr.
-WILLIAM ROBERTS of Lee Co. b. 1765 m. Catherine Rogers, dau. of Doswell.
-WILLIAM 1788 m. 1 Sarah Walling/2 Sallie Humphries (Wm. moved from Lee Co. Va. to White Co. Tn)
-JAMES 1807 of White Co. TN (your line)
- JOSEPH b. 1790s m. Margaret Anderson (my line-stayed in Lee Co. area)

Anyway, thought I'd share and welcome any comments, especially if anybody can explain the DNA match problems or inconsistencies, or if we can prove we descend from John 1733/35 of Surry Co. NC since we have closer dna matches to his descendants..

Thanks,

Phillip Roberts (the other Phil!)

Louminda:

I cannot offer any information regarding the relationship between Jesse Roberts and William C. Roberts.

However, regarding your question about William Roberts, son of Reuben Roberts, I have been researching my gr-gr-grandfather's relationship with the Reuben Roberts clan for the past 3 - 4 years now due to some misinformation contained in "The Generations of Reuben" written by Laney Roberts.

I am now of the opinion, based on the evidence I have collected, that the William Roberts married to Sarah Walling(or Wallen) is the son of William Roberts Sr. of Lee County, VA.

Others have suggested this same relationship before 'The Generations of Reuben' went to print. Laney Roberts goes to some length in Chapter IV of his book to conclude otherwise but the arguments he puts forth just are not convincing and seem to be based on incomplete information.

I am in the process of organizing a DRAFT of a more complete set of data, but for now, and for the sake of brevity, I will share the following facts I have gathered to support my position.

1) There was a William Roberts jr. from Lee County, VA. living in White county Tennessee in 1822.

Laney Roberts states in his book: "the writer has not been able to find any documented data which prove or in any way suggest that a William Roberts, Jr. of Lee County, Virginia, ever lived in White County, Tennessee."

Response - See Hawkins Co. TN Circuit Court Minutes 1822-1825. Page 57-58. Thursday 10th October 1822. E. Embree, surviving partner of E&E Embree vs. Amis Grantham et al. Depositions to be taken of:

John McKinney Jr. of Murray Co TN

WILLIAM ROBERTS JR. OF WHITE CO TN.

William H. Carter of Lee Co VA.

Thomas Roberts of Lee Co VA

Dauswell Rogers of Lee Co VA

According to the above, William Roberts, Jr. was in White Co TN during the period of 1822-1825. This would appear to be William Jr. s/o William Sr. of Lee Co VA because the other men mentioned are men associated with that family. William Sr. had deeds with John McKinney Sr.; Thomas is son of Wm Sr. and brother to Wm Jr. William Sr. married Katheryn, the daughter of Dauswell Rogers who was on the 1767 Pittsylvania Co VA Tax List, the first one taken when Pittsylvania became a county.

2) This same William Roberts can be found in 1810 Lee County VA Tax records living near the James Walling family.

1810 census of VA for Lee Co, transcribed by Netti Schreiner-Vantis. Listed in the order the taxman took by date who was close to who:

Cloud, John 20 March

Blevins, James 23 March

Ashinhurst, John 29 March

Alsup, William 2 April

Breeding, Jeremiah 6 April

McKinney, John Jr. 16 May

Wallen, John Jr. 16 May

Wallen, John Sr. 16 May

Wallen, Elisha 16 May

Bledsoe, Abram 17 May

Bledsoe, Thomas 17 May

ROBERTS, WILLIAM JR. 17 May

Wallen, Joseph 17 May

Wallen, James 17 May

Lawson, Moorman 18 May

Lawson, Stokley 18 May

ROBERTS, WILLIAM SR. 18 May

Wallen, James Jr. 18 May

3) James Walling nuncupative will made in White Co., TN in 1849 says his daughter Sarah was married to William Roberts.

4) Thomas E. and Joseph Roberts (sons of William C. Roberts identified by L. Roberts in his book as being the son of Reuben), stated in the 1850 White County national census that they were born in Virginia.

The evidence indicates "The generations of Reuben" is incorrect. I have more data that I am in the process of organizing a DRAFT which I will make available soon to further support my position and that the 'other' William Roberts, the son of Reuben, lived in Warren County, TN and was the father of Thomas, Ellis & James Roberts. I do not know who he was married to nor how many children they had - there are indications, none of which I can substantiate, that he may have been married to Sallie Humphreys.

Please share your thoughts on this subject. Any facts that support or refute the above will be greatly appreciated.

Proposed Change: William C. Roberts (I3878)
Tree: The Hennessee Family
Link: http://thehennesseefamily.com/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I3878&tree=hennessee

Description: In "The generations of Reuben", Laney Roberts identified the wrong William Roberts as the son of Reuben Roberts. The William Roberts Laney identified as being the son of Reuben is actually William Roberts jr of Lee County, VA. I have spent considerable effort in working through the misinformation contained in "The Generations of Reuben". I recently submitted and obtained certification for Reuben Roberts to be included the First families of Tennessee Project sponsored by the East TN Historical Society in Knoxville, TN. My submission was based on my lineage through William Roberts of Warren County, TN -- the ETHS FFoT project had another Reuben Roberts submission from a descendant of William Roberts of White Co. TN (The one Laney Roberts incorrectly identified) at the same time and, after reviewing the submissions of each, the ETHS agreed that the Warren County William Roberts was the son of Reuben Roberts. The William Roberts of White Co. submission only had one source of information cited -- "The Generations of Reuben". Check one your other sources - "The Hache-Hash Genealogy and Allied Lines" by Gertrude Saylors. She correctly cited James M. Roberts m. Martha 'Patsy' Hash as the son of William Roberts. In his book, Laney Roberts changed the entry for James M. Roberts m. Martha 'Patsy' Hash to be the son of Caswell Cobb Roberts. Laney spends several pages in his book discussing why he thinks William Roberts of White county is the son of Reuben Roberts -- he is actually trying to discredit Mrs. Saylors work in his arguments (which are very weak). Check your sources - I have never seen a single primary source of information that indicates William Roberts of White County, TN is the son of Reuben Roberts whereas I found plenty to indicate William Roberts of warren County, TN is the correct son of Reuben Roberts. The ETHS has asked me to write an article for their quarterly journal to document William Roberts of Warren County, TN as the son of Reuben Roberts and to use the article as a case study of why people should check and verify their sources before publishing them. Currently in progress.

Hi Bob and Dan:

I have participated in the YDNA Roberts project. #130762. The farthest back I have *proven* is to William Roberts b.1765 who married Catherine Rogers (tradition) daughter of Doswell b. 1736. It is believed that William 1765 was son of William Roberts b. ca. 1740 who married Elizabeth Wallen, daughter of Old Elisha. My William (1765) settled in Lee Co. Va. and died there as far as i know. From the petition to form Lee Co. Va, I believe that William 1740 was there also along with William 1765...

The Roberts I connect closest to dna-wise are the "Roberts Cove" Roberts of Grayson Co. Va. who supposedly descend from John Roberts b. 1733/35 from Surry Co. NC. I think its possible that John 1733/35 was a brother of William 1740...

I'm sure those Roberts of White Co. TN connect to the William Roberts of Lee Co. with such close connections to Rogers and Wallens. I have not seen the name Reuben show up in any descendants in Lee Co. DNA would sure help prove it.

Thanks for this information, I'll certainly look over it, but for now have to run.

Subject: Re: CONDREY
Date: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 9:45 AM

A difficult problem. I've seen the posts by Esther Womack on the Condrey forum on this couple, and checked them against my records, but with no certainty.

First, I doubt she was born in Hyde Co. I think Esther says she was married there. So far as I can tell, there were no Condry families recorded in Hyde Co. in any census until 1810. My earliest record in Hyde is the estate settlement of Richard Condry in 1806. You may have seen that; I posted the transcript on the Condra surname forum 2 Jan 2001, #112.

The widow of Richard is Sarah, listed in the 1810 census of Hyde. The other Condrys, James and John, in the estate records, are not listed in the census of Hyde.

However, there are a number of Condrys in adjoining Beaufort Co. dating from at least 1781, as shown in this record:

US GenWeb Archives, 11/2/99

Beaufort County Militia, 1781

NC Division of Archives and History, Raleigh, NC. Contributed by Lida A. Overton and transcribed by Elizabeth Ross "A List of the Several Divisions of Affective Men in the Beaufort Ragiment of Militia Made the 20th of April 1781

No. 3

John Condry George Condry

Returned by William Brown, Colo. of the Beaufort Militia"

And I believe that Dennis, the member of the Donelson Party at the Nashborough settlement of 1781, was in tidewater NC earlier than 1775. That is an inference from the evidence that he was in Kentucky in 1775 with other members of the group of adventurers who formed around Judge Henderson, the tidewater NC speculator who conceived the Transylvania scheme that led to the Nashborough settlement.

My guess is that your Elizabeth is the daughter of one of these Beaufort families. In the absence of other evidence, I'd suggest as the most likely possibility that she could belong to the family of John, who I believe to be the one who was a signer of the Cumberland Compact. His signature can be seen in the image on the TN Archives website:

http://www.state.tn.us/sos/statelib/techsvs/photos/compact4.htm

We know John did not stay in the settlement, as Dennis did, because he is not listed among either the dead or alive who received land from the 1783 NC grant for the settlement, as Dennis did. My construction of the records is that John returned to NC, where he is found in the census of 1790, with Dennis, and in 1810 as a man of 45+, near three younger men (Dennis, William, and James) who are men of the generation of your Elizabeth. John appears to be the progenitor of the family of Condrys who stayed in the tidewater. Dennis and William, as you can see from the many postings on the surname forum, settled in East Tennessee, where there are numerous records of their activities.

Elizabeth is a common Condry name, of course (my ggm was an Elizabeth Condry, descended from old William the Indian Spy, my 4ggf, through William's son Dennis and Dennis's son Lilburn). So it won't be easy to find proof of her parentage even if you find an Elizabeth mentioned in contemporary tidewater NC records. So far, I have not found a record of her.

Good luck. I'll keep an eye out for more.

We have corresponded before. Have been reviewing dna results lately. I'm Wm. Roberts b. 1765 kit 130762.

I also match as you do closely to the John Roberts b. 1733/35 of Surry Co NC. As for a possibility that your JAMES 1807 was the son of WM., son of JOHN 1733/35 of Surry, I looked over Earl Roberts extensive research. He's now deceased, desc. of John 1733/35, but he's got a pretty well documentation of that family.. James b. ca 1805 (whom you mentioned is prob the same James as yours who went to White Co. TN) and family all seemed to stay in Grayson Co. Va.. James 1805 children: Lorenzo Dow b. 1831, Joseph 1833, Phoebe 1837, Nancy 1845, Micajah 1846 and Peter
1849. I don't see any hints of his moving to TN, but I guess it could have happen.

Now, I descend from Wm. Roberts of Lee Co. Va. With that said, my dna matches are the closest to Earl and other known descendants of John 1733/35 of Surry as yourself, but I'm 99% certain my Wm Roberts did not descend directly from John of Surry. Besides John had a son already named William so my Wm. can't fit in his family. So, in my case, it seems that descendants who we are almost certainly closer related to me (such as yourself most likely) than John of Surry show a MORE DISTANT DNA match??? Go figure. I don't understand it.

Here's my latest family projections, *not proven of course* with help from others and dna:

COL. JAMES ROBERTS (Tory/Loyalist leader) of Snow Creek Va. b. ca. 1720s (also had property in Surry Co. NC that was confiscated due to Tory involvement, and likely bro of John Roberts b. 1730s of Surry Co. NC, that you show below)

Col James issue:

-CAPT. JAMES ROBERTS b. 1747 moved to Lee Co./Hawkins Co. area, helped raise sister Happy Riddle's children per old Riddle fam. book.
-CORNELIUS 1749 Russell Co. Va., killed 1788 by Indians (currently awaiting dna results from desc)
-JESSE ? 1763 of Clay Co. Ky.
-JOHN 1750 Va, of Buncombe Co. NC
-HARRIET "HAPPY" b. 1740s m. Wm. Riddle, Tory leader.
-WILLIAM ROBERTS of Lee Co. Va. b. 1740s (from Henry/Grayson Co Va area) m. Elizabeth Walling, dau. of Elisha Sr.
-WILLIAM ROBERTS of Lee Co. b. 1765 m. Catherine Rogers, dau. of Doswell.
-WILLIAM 1788 m. 1 Sarah Walling/2 Sallie Humphries (Wm. moved from Lee Co. Va. to White Co. Tn)
-JAMES 1807 of White Co. TN (your line)
- JOSEPH b. 1790s m. Margaret Anderson (my line-stayed in Lee Co. area)

Anyway, thought I'd share and welcome any comments, especially if anybody can explain the DNA match problems or inconsistencies, or if we can prove we descend from John 1733/35 of Surry Co. NC since we have closer dna matches to his descendants..

Thanks,

Phillip Roberts (the other Phil!)

Louminda:

I cannot offer any information regarding the relationship between Jesse Roberts and William C. Roberts.

However, regarding your question about William Roberts, son of Reuben Roberts, I have been researching my gr-gr-grandfather's relationship with the Reuben Roberts clan for the past 3 - 4 years now due to some misinformation contained in "The Generations of Reuben" written by Laney Roberts.

I am now of the opinion, based on the evidence I have collected, that the William Roberts married to Sarah Walling(or Wallen) is the son of William Roberts Sr. of Lee County, VA.

Others have suggested this same relationship before 'The Generations of Reuben' went to print. Laney Roberts goes to some length in Chapter IV of his book to conclude otherwise but the arguments he puts forth just are not convincing and seem to be based on incomplete information.

I am in the process of organizing a DRAFT of a more complete set of data, but for now, and for the sake of brevity, I will share the following facts I have gathered to support my position.

1) There was a William Roberts jr. from Lee County, VA. living in White county Tennessee in 1822.

Laney Roberts states in his book: "the writer has not been able to find any documented data which prove or in any way suggest that a William Roberts, Jr. of Lee County, Virginia, ever lived in White County, Tennessee."

Response - See Hawkins Co. TN Circuit Court Minutes 1822-1825. Page 57-58. Thursday 10th October 1822. E. Embree, surviving partner of E&E Embree vs. Amis Grantham et al. Depositions to be taken of:

John McKinney Jr. of Murray Co TN

WILLIAM ROBERTS JR. OF WHITE CO TN.

William H. Carter of Lee Co VA.

Thomas Roberts of Lee Co VA

Dauswell Rogers of Lee Co VA

According to the above, William Roberts, Jr. was in White Co TN during the period of 1822-1825. This would appear to be William Jr. s/o William Sr. of Lee Co VA because the other men mentioned are men associated with that family. William Sr. had deeds with John McKinney Sr.; Thomas is son of Wm Sr. and brother to Wm Jr. William Sr. married Katheryn, the daughter of Dauswell Rogers who was on the 1767 Pittsylvania Co VA Tax List, the first one taken when Pittsylvania became a county.

2) This same William Roberts can be found in 1810 Lee County VA Tax records living near the James Walling family.

1810 census of VA for Lee Co, transcribed by Netti Schreiner-Vantis. Listed in the order the taxman took by date who was close to who:

Cloud, John 20 March

Blevins, James 23 March

Ashinhurst, John 29 March

Alsup, William 2 April

Breeding, Jeremiah 6 April

McKinney, John Jr. 16 May

Wallen, John Jr. 16 May

Wallen, John Sr. 16 May

Wallen, Elisha 16 May

Bledsoe, Abram 17 May

Bledsoe, Thomas 17 May

ROBERTS, WILLIAM JR. 17 May

Wallen, Joseph 17 May

Wallen, James 17 May

Lawson, Moorman 18 May

Lawson, Stokley 18 May

ROBERTS, WILLIAM SR. 18 May

Wallen, James Jr. 18 May

3) James Walling nuncupative will made in White Co., TN in 1849 says his daughter Sarah was married to William Roberts.

4) Thomas E. and Joseph Roberts (sons of William C. Roberts identified by L. Roberts in his book as being the son of Reuben), stated in the 1850 White County national census that they were born in Virginia.

The evidence indicates "The generations of Reuben" is incorrect. I have more data that I am in the process of organizing a DRAFT which I will make available soon to further support my position and that the 'other' William Roberts, the son of Reuben, lived in Warren County, TN and was the father of Thomas, Ellis & James Roberts. I do not know who he was married to nor how many children they had - there are indications, none of which I can substantiate, that he may have been married to Sallie Humphreys.

Please share your thoughts on this subject. Any facts that support or refute the above will be greatly appreciated.

Proposed Change: William C. Roberts (I3878)
Tree: The Hennessee Family
Link: http://thehennesseefamily.com/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I3878&tree=hennessee

Description: In "The generations of Reuben", Laney Roberts identified the wrong William Roberts as the son of Reuben Roberts. The William Roberts Laney identified as being the son of Reuben is actually William Roberts jr of Lee County, VA. I have spent considerable effort in working through the misinformation contained in "The Generations of Reuben". I recently submitted and obtained certification for Reuben Roberts to be included the First families of Tennessee Project sponsored by the East TN Historical Society in Knoxville, TN. My submission was based on my lineage through William Roberts of Warren County, TN -- the ETHS FFoT project had another Reuben Roberts submission from a descendant of William Roberts of White Co. TN (The one Laney Roberts incorrectly identified) at the same time and, after reviewing the submissions of each, the ETHS agreed that the Warren County William Roberts was the son of Reuben Roberts. The William Roberts of White Co. submission only had one source of information cited -- "The Generations of Reuben". Check one your other sources - "The Hache-Hash Genealogy and Allied Lines" by Gertrude Saylors. She correctly cited James M. Roberts m. Martha 'Patsy' Hash as the son of William Roberts. In his book, Laney Roberts changed the entry for James M. Roberts m. Martha 'Patsy' Hash to be the son of Caswell Cobb Roberts. Laney spends several pages in his book discussing why he thinks William Roberts of White county is the son of Reuben Roberts -- he is actually trying to discredit Mrs. Saylors work in his arguments (which are very weak). Check your sources - I have never seen a single primary source of information that indicates William Roberts of White County, TN is the son of Reuben Roberts whereas I found plenty to indicate William Roberts of warren County, TN is the correct son of Reuben Roberts. The ETHS has asked me to write an article for their quarterly journal to document William Roberts of Warren County, TN as the son of Reuben Roberts and to use the article as a case study of why people should check and verify their sources before publishing them. Currently in progress.

"CALEB SWINDELL (SR.), son of JOHN SWINDELL, SR., was married to his first wife, KEZIAH _____, by 25 August 1767. We have been unable to indentify her parents. CALEB's will dated 26 November 1790, probated February Court 1791, mentions wife, ELIZABETH, and sons, CHRISTOPHER and CASON SWINDELL. His will dictated that the remaider of the estate should be equally divided between his children after the death of his wife, ELIZABETH.

In a 1791 division of the remaider of the estate, his wife, ELIZABETH, received one-third and his heirs JESSE HARRIS, SR., THOMAS HARRIS, CHRISTOPHER SWINDELL, JAMES MASON, JESSE HARRIS, JR., ELIZABETH HARRIS, SUSANNA CARAWAN, JOHN BENSON, AND CASON SWINDELL received the remaining two-thirds divided into equal lots.

Since we know that CASON and CHRISTOPHER were his sons, this equal distribution indicates that the others were his daughters and sons-in-law in right of their wives."

1790 Living in Hyde County, North Carolina with one female, one adult over 16, one under 16. (Ancestry has incorrectly indexed this and 14 other entries as Carteret County)

4 The 1786 census corresponds to Cason, three sons and two daughters. Possibly a son-in-law was living on his land. It does suggest that the other daughters were living away from home, ie probably of marriageable age, by 1786.

5 The birth date in reference #b is only one month away from the better attested birth date for Caleb's brother Zedekiah.

6 Caleb was a private in the Hyde County Regiment of Militia 9th September 1775. f

7 Emory Swindell is listed as a son of Caleb in one family tree I have seen but the name did not come into the Swindell family until Robert, Caleb's nephew, married Sally Emory in about 1780. Caleb is unlikely to name a son with the surname of his nephew's wife.

Some other family trees suggest Caleb as the father of other children of Roberts - Oliver, Samuel Lindsey and Thomas D.

8 There seems to be evidence for identifying Keziah as Keziah Webb.

Jesse HARRIS (Sr.. or Jr..?) was married to Eleanor, presumably the daughter of Caleb SWINDELL (Sr.) Jesse HARRIS died circa 1795 and at May Court 1800, Elany HARRIS was bound to Elizabeth SWINDELL (relationship unknown) until the age of 18 to learn the trade of spinstress. In 1801, the estate of Jesse HARRIS was divided to Micajah, Cason, and Joseph HARRIS. At February Court 1801, Cason SWINDELL, brother to Eleanor HARRIS, was appointed guardian to Cason, Abey, Elana, and Micajah HARRIS.

In the N.C. Archives are several Swindell Wills and some Inventories (with no Will) of some of their Estates. There are two who pose a problem. Am hoping that someone can help us separate the two Calebs.

1791 Inventory of Caleb Swindle shows Lot #'s for the benefactors of his Estate. There are two Swindell males who each received a Lot (certain items including household goods and cash). One was Christopher and the other Cason.
Other persons receiving Lots appear to be sons-in-law.

1805 Will for Caleb Swindell names his children: Jean, Nanna, Abram,Caleb and youngest son Peledge. Wife Mary.

Which of these Caleb's was John Swindle Sr.'s son? If the 1791 Caleb was the son of John Sr. then who is the 1805 Caleb? And vice versa.

Appreciate any and all help!

According to the information I have, the 1791 Caleb is the son of John Swindle Sr. and Mary McPherson. The 1805 Caleb is the son of Josiah Swindle and Esther Balance (the mother might be wrong), and would therefore be the 1791 Caleb's nephew.

I omitted information on the 1791 Inventory of Caleb Swindell. One third of the estate went to Elizabeth Swindell which was the usual portion for a wife, so I am assuming that Elizabeth was the wife of Caleb of 1791?

Notes:

27 Nov 2006:

Hello, Cousin David, (always good to meet family!)

Raleigh was not able to document Elizabeth’s parentage...just draw conclusions based on circumstantial evidence. He left us with possibilities, but nothing definitive. Here are the quoted excerpts from his e-mail that I have used in my database. I check the genforum periodically to look for updates on his work, since I have been unable to travel to NC to research myself. When I retire, maybe?

Raleigh Condra Fields, an extensive Condra researcher, states that he believes Elizabeth is the daughter of Richard (d. 1806) and Sarah. "The will shows a girl about Elizabeth's age in the Hyde area at the right time. I believe that they come down from Dennis son of Michael, son of Dennis and Alice in Lancaster, VA." (20 Feb. 2005) "Richard's will did not name names.

Sarah was the wife.

He died 1806.

I did not have another family living right where Elizabeth was listed as a child in the census.

There was a James and John who bought items from the will/estate.

They either all descend from Dennis and Lucresha Price, possibly son of Michael of the Lancaster, VA Condrys.

Or, this is a group that came from the Henrico settlements.

I had a John, James and Thomas in 1768 in Rowan, NC." (25 Feb 2005)

"I have a Michael 1720's onto NC...sons of his son, John, Richard, Dennis, William, M. Charity." (4 Dec. 2004)

In further discourse, Raleigh states:

...the 1790 census of NC shows Dennis and John CONDRY in Beaufort, and William In Tyrell, so Richard in Hyde is not far away.

We don't know for sure whether these are the Tennessee group, since we know that men of these names were also involved in multiple land deals in East Tennesseee in the 1780-90's. but some people of this period were much more mobile than we might imagine, and it's easy to find records showing that some of these adventurers would park their families a safe distance from the frontier while they travelled back and forth making the required improvements to claim land, returning home to file claims, gather crops, etc.

And we know that John and Dennis were involved in the Robertson-Donelson expedition to acquire land in Transylvania (later Kentucky) and Nashborough settlement, and that those expeditions began from North Carolina.

So until I have proof that they were NOT, I assume that this trio of CONDRYS in the Tidewater are the same men as the East Tennessee trio of Dennis, William, and John.

Which is your line, David? Mine is through Cason’s and Elizabeth’s son C.C. and Eliza WEBB>George Washington and Eliza Ann KEATHLEY>Herschel and Lela PITMAN. I would love to compare info.

'Raleigh,

I've been following your work for some time and do appreciate your efforts. I am a descendant of Cason SWINDELL/SWINDLE and Elizabeth CONDREY. What evidence did you use to draw your conclusions regarding Elizabeth's parentage? ...looking forward to hearing from you.'

Hello Again,

Elizabeth shows up in Beaufort/Hyde as a Condry.

We suspect that she is a descendent of Dennis, who was an Irish/Manx sea captain. Into America in Massachusetts and then possibly into NC Tidewater.

I have a female about her age living in Richard and Sarah's house in 1806.

We have a lot of details on this family and it appears that there were two branches, one from the Mass area and one from VA. Both very early into America.

There is also a possibility of two other older possibilities for parenting, that we have not been able to trace, one a Michael who appears in Salisbury in NC. No records after 1760s and a John, early 1700s twin of a Catherine from Lancaster/Northumberland Co.,VA.

No records have been found to date for these two known men from the original Dennis and Alice pairing early 1700s.

Keep in Touch. Rawleigh Condra Fjeld

Hello, Cousin,

Well we have just begun to unravel the N.C. early Condrys.

There was a Michael and Richard mid 1700s in N.C. and many later cousins.

Also, a Claiborne from very early times.

We have most of the Va and Tn and Ky Condrys sorted through, but the early N.C. group has yet to be sorted.

We are gathering all tid bits from N.C. Condrys in order to begin matching them.

The Condrys came to America mid 1600s to 1670s in Lancaster, Cty Va and there is much info on them from heavy research for the last 15 years.

I will put your notes with the work and maybe at this years reunion someone will be able to add to it. Best Rawleigh Condra Fjeld

The presence of another Condry in Beaufort--George Condry--complicates the possibilities.

If all these guys were brothers or cousins, then the Dennis of Barbour Co, AL could be the son of almost any of them.

Here is a collection of information--and some speculation--about the Condrys in the early NC records. I have thought for some time that your James was a son of John, though I have no documentation yet. And as I note below, my working hypothesis at present is that John is identical with the John Condry who signed the Cumberland Compact, and is also the brother of the Dennis and William who lived and died in Claiborne and Grainger Co, TN. I have lots of information on them in TN. The connection between them and the records of John, Dennis, and William in NC is still specualtive. But I put this out here in the hope that it may stimulate thought and lead someone to make firm connections, or even to firmly reject this hypothesis.

RECORDS OF JOHN CONDRY
Signer of Cumberland Compact (signature appears in original held by TN Archives, visible on their web page)

At present I posit that the brothers are Dennis of the Donelson Party, William the Indian Spy, John the signer of the Cumberland Compact, and a James. Some evidence and reasoning:

John Condry, 45+, 2f 45+, 1f 16-26, 1m 10-16, 2f <10
[NOTE: Wm appears first on the page, with 3 other names intervening, then Jas, then John. John appears to have an unmarried daughter about 20, a son about 15, two daughters perhaps about 8 and 10. These people--John, William, and James--seem to be a family group, with John the father, James and William the sons; Dennis is a bit further away, but perhaps another son. If we posit John as the father, with children born about 1780, then he is b. about 1750, is now about 60, with his last child born when he was about 50. Not an unusual pattern in these records. This thinking would put him in the generation of William the Indian spy and Dennis the adventurer. The children are another Dennis/William pair, suggesting some relationship to the Tennessee group. At present, I construct the records 1790-1810 thus: the Dennis of Beaufort Co. in 1790 is 16+, thus b. before 1774, and appears to have children, so b. before 1770. He may be the Dennis recorded in deeds in Beaufort Co. as early as 1771, thus b. by 1750 or earlier; he may also be the adventurer of the Donelson party. The Dennis of adjoining Johnston Co. in 1800 is only 16-26, thus b. between 1774-1784, and heads a household with a woman betw. 26-45, a male 10-16, and 2 younger children. This Dennis is NOT the old Dennis of the Donelson Party. And the Dennis of Beaufort 1810 is also 16-26, without a female in the 36-55 range. These records make sense if we assume the Dennis of 1790 is NOT the Dennis of 1800, but is an older man who died or moved before 1800, and that the Dennis of 1800 is a younger man with the same name, perhaps his son, perhaps a nephew. For him to be 16-26 in both 1800 and 1810, he'd have to be 16 in 1800, thus b. 1784, and 26 in 1810, b. 1784. The Dennis of Beaufort Co. 1820 is 26-45, so b. 1775-1794. The Dennis of Beaufort Co. 1830 is 50-60, so b. 1770-1780. The Dennis of Beaufort Co. 1840 is also 50-60, so b. 1780-1790. If we make the Dennis of 1800-1840 the same man, b. abt. 1782, we would be off by no more than 2 years for any year 1800-1840. That's pretty good accuracy for this kind of record; greater discrepancies for people who are known to be identical are very common. Seems to me to make the best sense of this record group to say the Dennis of 1790 Beaufort is the brother of John and William, that he was in TN after 1790, that Dennis of 1800-1840 is his son or nephew, and that John is the father of James of Beaufort and the younger William of Beaufort, whose sons are named for their uncles.

Hi Bob and Dan:

I have participated in the YDNA Roberts project. #130762. The farthest back I have *proven* is to William Roberts b.1765 who married Catherine Rogers (tradition) daughter of Doswell b. 1736. It is believed that William 1765 was son of William Roberts b. ca. 1740 who married Elizabeth Wallen, daughter of Old Elisha. My William (1765) settled in Lee Co. Va. and died there as far as i know. From the petition to form Lee Co. Va, I believe that William 1740 was there also along with William 1765...

The Roberts I connect closest to dna-wise are the "Roberts Cove" Roberts of Grayson Co. Va. who supposedly descend from John Roberts b. 1733/35 from Surry Co. NC. I think its possible that John 1733/35 was a brother of William 1740...

I'm sure those Roberts of White Co. TN connect to the William Roberts of Lee Co. with such close connections to Rogers and Wallens. I have not seen the name Reuben show up in any descendants in Lee Co. DNA would sure help prove it.

Thanks for this information, I'll certainly look over it, but for now have to run.

Notes
0 Text in red represents information obtained from the internet (family trees etc) which I have not yet confirmed.

1 The spelling follows that of the "High Tides" article and also the list of 1748 tithablesf.

2 John's wife is named as Mary in the birth record of their son Zedekiah.

A Mary Swindell, sister of William McPherson, is identified in the will of William McPharson written 1775, proved 1778.a She has been assumed to be the wife of John Swindell, Sr. but, on the face of it, could have been a second wife of Josiah Swindell (who was living with William PcPharson in 1735) or wife of Parker Swindell or of Thomas Swindell.

3 Many family trees add Timothy, born 1715, as a son as a son of John Swindle and Mary McPherson but he was the son of the other John Swindall. See discussion on Early Swindall / Swindle of Virginia and North Carolina.

4 Died intestate - inventory 15 May 1772 by John Swindle, Jr. William, Zedekiah, Josiah, John & Caleb Swindell were among the many buyers at the subsequent sale.b

5 John Swindell, Sr. is assumed to be the eldest son of John Swindall. He appears to have inherited John Swindall's land. There is indication that his presumed brother Thomas was suffiently adult in 1729 to have learnt a trade and purchase land in 1729; his presumed brother Josiah was married by 1732.

6 John was either born in Bath County, North Carolina or born in Norfolk County, Virginia and moved to Bath County with his father in 1702. A John Swindell appears in the 1735 list of tithables in Norfolk County, Virginia so he may have moved back there - possibly to marry the daughter of William McPharson. (Note that I estimate his first child John to have been born around 1729).

"A John SWINDELL purchased 240 acres from George MOYE on the northeast side of Tranter's Creek, Bath County, N. C. In 1731 and in 1735, MOYE sold him an additional 200 acres in the same location. On 6 December 1764, John SWINDELL, Sr. of Hyde County sold 440 acres of land on Tranter's Creek to John KNOWLES, Jr. This deed was witnessed by Christ. RESPESS and Edward MC SWAIN and is recorded in Pitt County, N. C. Undoubtedly, this is the George MOYE property purchased in 1731 and 1735."
High Tides p5

The 1731 purchase could have been by John Swindell, Sr., or his father.

The birth of John's son Zedekiah was recorded in Pasquotank precinct in 1737 and in 1739 John Swindell sold some property which he had inherited on Nobb's Creek. Thus his father had died before 1739.

"In 1742, John SWINDELL, Sr. is listed as a Currituck County tithable and on 27 July 1743 petitioned for a land warrant for 900 acres in Currituck County. Let us not forget that Currituck Precinct/County included the eastern part of Hyde County until 1745. On 5 March 1746/47, John SWINDELL, Sr. was granted a patent to this 900-acre tract in Hyde County. The tract was described as being on Maromuskeet Lake upon Mulberry Savanna, joining the Lake and the swamp. We believe this John SWINDELL, Sr. and wife, Mary, to be the first Swindells to settle in present-day Hyde County and are the progenitors of all Swindells in Hyde." (High Tides p6)

7 Both John Swindell Senr and John Swindell appear in a list of tithables in 1748 d The younger John would have to be 16 to be tithable, hence born in 1732 or earlier.

Zedekiah, who was probably born in 1737, appears last in a list of the sons of John Swindell, Sr. Allowing 2 years between births and even disregarding any potential daughters, this would place John's birth before 1729.

8 From Bill Smith's notes: 7 December 1757, "Hyde Co., N.C.: John Swindell, planter, with love and affection to Josiah Swindell, Son, 150 acre plantation in Mattamuskeete. Witness Benjamin Mason and Stephen Denning."

9 A John Swindle is in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, in 1779 (Member of Grand Inquest)

A John Swindle is in Deptford township, Gloucester County, New Jersey in 1787 (August / July Tax list)

The widow, Mary SWINDELL, is not listed as a buyer at this sale - we presume she was either deceased by this time or so advanced in years that she lived with one of her children and had no need for any of the household items. Sons William, Zedekiah, Josiah, John, and Caleb SWINDELL were among the many buyers at the sale of this relatively large estate. "

in Hyde Co NC. He married Rebecca Harris that was born 1726 Hyde Co NC
before 1748.

Notes for JOHN SWINDELL: Ellen Mitchell, researcher in Hyde CO. N.C. indicated that there was no will for John Swindell 1, but there was an Estate Record in Hyde CO. VOl-1 part 1, about 1722.

Hello Dave,

I enjoyed visiting with you and reading your files. I offer the following information on Caleb which prompted my posting on the genforum to begin with:

from the book entitled: " Hyde County NC Court Minutes and Orphans Book, Book II."

Registration of Deeds by John Swindall to his sons Dec. 1757-Mar 1758 Quarter Sessions Page 11.

John Swindall to his son Caleb Swindall for 240 acres
John Swindall to his son Zedekiah Swindall for 100 acres
John Swindall to his son Josiah Swindall for 150 acres
John Swindall to his son William Swindall for 150 acres
John Swindall to William Turner for 160 acres (could this be a son-in-law?)

Court Session 1763 Page (97)-49:

"3 Deeds from John Swindall, one to Caleb Swindall for 150 acres of Land and One to Joseph Swindall Son o(sic) Caleb Swindall for 65 acres of land, the other to Zedekiah Swindall for 200 acres of land Exhibited into Court and acknowledged by the said John Swindall to be by him duely Executd. They are Ordered to be Registered."

(160)-25 August Term 1785:
On motion John Swindal is Appointed by the court Guardien to William Swindal Orphan of William Swindal Decd. and Entered into bond in the sum of fifty pounds David Spencer and William Spencer his Securitys ordered that Letters of Tuition Issue.

My Note: Caleb Swindall had a son named Joseph?
From the book entitled " (OLD) Rappahannock County Orders 1689-1692", p.195 Rappahannock County Court 7th of January 1690/1:

-Ordered that James Samford take in to his Custody all & singular the Estate of TIMO. SWINDALL late deced on behalfe & for the use of the Orphans of the sd SWINDALL and that he returne an act. thereof under his hands in writing to the next Court held for this County.

In another entry (which I can't locate at the moment) John Swindall appeared in court to ask that he be released from James Samford. Court refused the request.

From the book entitled "The Registers of North Farnham Parish 1663-1814 and Lunenburg Parrish 1783-1800 Richmond County, Virginia" the following birth is recorded:

Swindall, John son of Timothy and Sarah Swindall, 20 March 1676

My Note: appears that Timothy died when John was about 14 yrs of age. John is the only Swindall who's birth is recorded in this book but the above order uses the plural term "orphans".

Yes it's me, and I'm still looking! In the book entitled "Hyde County Court Minutes and Orphans Book 1756-1785 Book II" I find the following entry:

1763 Term (97)-49
"3 Deeds from John Swindall, one to Caleb SWINDALL for 150 Acres of Land and One to Joseph SWINDALL Son o(sic) Caleb SWINDALL for sixtyfive Acres of Land, the other to Zedeciah SWINDALL for 200 Acres of Land Exhibited into Court and acknowledged by the said John SWINDALL to be by him Duely Executd. they are Ordered to be Registered."
END
--------------
This indicates that Caleb had a son named Joseph. Would it also indicate that he had a wife before Keziah?
-------------
In the same book is listed another entry:

Dec. 1757-Mar. 1758 Term

(12)-195
Deed from John SWINDALL to his Son Caleb Swindall for 240 acres of Land, etc.
Deed from John Swindall to his Son Zedekiah Swindall for 100 acres of Land, etc.
Deed from John Swindall to his son Josiah Swindall for 150 acres of land, etc.
Deed from John Swindall to his son William Swindall for 150 Acres of Land, etc.
Deed from John Swindall to William Turner for 160 Acres of Land, etc.
Deeds Ordered to be Registered. (no mention of where the land was located)
END
---------------
Could William Turner be a son-in-law?
I know there is a John Swindall Jr. but he was not listed in this entry.

Can anyone shed light on the son Joseph, of Caleb or on the William Turner who received land from John Swindall?
Thanks, Esther

?John, born very approximately 1700
?Josiah, born c.1710
?Thomas5
?Parker

Died before 1739, possibly c.1722k

Person ID 01499

A possible life story:-

John was born around 1665 in Northampton County, Virginia and probably moved to Bath County, North Carolina about 1702, obtaining headrights to 240 acres. In 1731 he bought 240 acres acres on the north-east side of Tranter's Creek (which feeds into the head of the Pamlico River) from George Moye and in 1735 a further 200 acres. His son Thomas, a cooper by trade, had bought 100 acres on the north side of the Pamlico river in 1729; sons Josiah and John had moved back to Norfolk County where they met their future brides. Son Parker settled in Corrituck precinct and raised a family there.

It is not known when John Swindall died but in 1742 his son John (John Swindell, Sr.) had moved to Currituck County and in 1743 applied for a land warrant for 900 acres in Currituck County which was granted 5 Mar 1746/7 on the north side of Mattamuskeet Lake.

Notes
0 Text in red represents information obtained from the internet (family trees etc) which I have not yet confirmed.

1 Not to be confused with John, son of Timothy and Sarah Swindle.

2 John declares his age to be about 24 on the 14th of January 1690/1a, ie born about 1665.

3 Probably the John Swindell who moved to Bath County in 1702 and proved headright to 240 acres. f
(3 x 80 acres - Himself, wife and son or servant? No - allowances were reduced after 1667 - 50 acres after 1697)

4 A John Swindell is listed as tithable in Norfolk County, Virginia in 1735 l. This is probably John's son.

5 In 1739 John Swindell sold some property which he had inherited on Nobb's Creek. Thus his father had died before 1739. (I am assuming the inheritance was not via his wife, which is less likely. If his wife was Mary McPherson then her father did not die until after his will of 1775)

6 References to John Swindall in the Currituck records 1713 - 1717. k The changes in County boundaries must be considered to understand why these records would appear in Currituck rather than Bath or Hyde Counties. Lake Mattamuskeet seems to lie within Currituck from 1705 - 1745.

Currituck vs. Hyde County.

1696 Bath formed as original county. Note Corrituck includes the land to the NE of Bath.
1705 Bath Co. divided into Wickham, Archdale, Pamplecough Precincts
1712 Pamplecough name changed to Beaufort. Wickham name changed to Hyde Precinct

1729 Tyrrell formed from parts of Bertie, Chowan Currituck and Pasquotank Precincts. NB East of Hyde is still Currituck.
1745 Hyde gained from Currituck.
1819 Modern boundary between Beaufort and Hyde.

1891 Boundary change between Tyrrell and Hyde)

Swindle Family compiled by Bill Brackett

The Swindle name is believed to be English. It is said to mean "one who came from Swindale" a chapelry in the parish of Shap in northern England’s county of Westmoreland. The original meaning of the name is thought to be derived from a dale or dell where swine were raised or perhaps a haunt of wild boars.

The family claims a coat of arms, which has a boar’s head and two crossed blue swords with gold hilts on a silver shield.

In records I have seen that there was a William Swindell who was born before 1584 in England and was killed in an Indian massacre in Virginia. He died on Captain Berkley's plantation about 60 miles from Jamestown, Virginia in 1624. His last named is spelled Swandal in these records.

In Cheshire, England on 08 Oct 1578 a William Swyndles married Margery Barber. On 10 Dec 1598 in Cheshire, England a William Swindles married Izabell Hiberte. On 29 May 1610 in Cheshire England a William Swindles married Elizabeth Mallbone.

There are several others by this name in Cheshire. William Swindles and Isabell Hiberte had sons, Thomas Swindle and Daniel Swindle.

In a muster taken 30 Jan 1624 there is a Thomas Swinhow (Swindell) who was reported as having arrived on the "Diana" and living in the main of the Corporation of James City, Virginia.

There was a Thomas Swindell who arrived in Westmoreland County, Virginia in 1654. It has been indicated that Thomas Swindell moved to the eastern shore of Virginia.

There was also a Daniel Swindell in this same area as mentioned as tithables in that county in 1666.

Thomas Swindell had a son named John Swindell who married the daughter of George Willis. George Willis gave the couple a cow in 1668. John and ... (Willis) Swindell lived in North Hampton, Virginia and he died in North Carolina 1750.

Thomas Swindell, who arrived in Westmoreland County, Virginia in 1654, was an indentured servant and John Walton and John Baynol who were Virginian “Planters” paid his transport. John Swindell was still on the eastern shore of Virginia as late as 1700 when he witnessed the will of John Tilney of Nassawaddox.

In 1702 John Swindell moved into Bath County, North Carolina and in that same year proved headrights to 240 acres. This John Swindell may have been the father to Thomas Swindell.

In 1729 there was a Thomas Swindell who was a cooper from Beauford Precinct of Bath County North Carolina. Thomas Swindell purchased 100 acres on the north side of the Pamlico River from James Singleton.

There was a Timothy Swindle in Culpeper County, Virginia in the 1770's. This area of Virginia was settled by Germans, but it is believed that this Timothy Swindle was not of German ancestry. Timothy Swindle married Rebecca Crease (Crees, Crest, Criece, Greys) who was clearly German. Rebecca Crease's family was from Wurttemberg in what was to become Germany. Timothy and Rebecca Swindle had children:

Sarah Swindle m. Frederick Baumgardner
Michael Swindle m. Elizabeth Utz
John Swindle m. Hannah Weaver
George Swindle m. Hannah Cornelius
Rebecca Swindle m. John Fray

It is obvious that the Swindle family came from England possibly as early as 1619. They settled in Virginia, moved into North Carolina by 1702, into Tennessee by 1815 and later into Arkansas by 1860.
According to research done by Charles H. Swindle and James E. Swindell The Swindle line is as follows:

John Swindle was born about 1523 in England. John’s wife’s name is unknown. Their son was William Swindle (Swandal) who was born before 1584 in England.

William Swindle (Swandal) married Isabell Hiberte on 10 Dec 1598 in Macclesfield, St. Michael, Cheshire, England. Isabell was born before 1580 in Cheshire.

William Swindle (Swandal) was killed in the Indian massacre on Good Friday, 22 Mar 1622 at Berkley’s Plantation 66 miles from James City, Virginia. James City is known today as Jamestown. Isabell died in 1652 in Virginia. William came to the New World about 1619/20. William and Isabell Swindle had at least two sons:

Thomas Swindle
Daniel Swindle

Thomas Swindle was born about 1604, lived in North Hampton, Virginia and died about 1669 in Rappanock, Richmond County, Virginia. Thomas’s wife’s name is unknown but she was born about 1610 in Rappanock and died about 1670 in Virginia. Thomas Swindle’s known children were:

Timothy Swindle born between 1646-51 and died in 1683 in Virginia
John Swindle b, 1648 in North Hampton, Virginia.
Daniel Swindle born about 1648. Timothy Swindle married a lady named Sarah who was born in England. Sarah’s last name is not known. Timothy and Sarah’s son was John Swindle who was born 20 Mar 1675/76 in Rappanock, Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Virginia.
John Swindle married Mary McPherson, the daughter of William McPherson, about 1696 in Lower Norfolk, Currtuck County, Virginia. John died before 1772 in Hyde County, North Carolina. Mary Swindle died between 1746 and 1751. Some of their sons were:
Timothy Swindle married Rebecca Crees
John Swindle b. 1723 in Hyde County, N. C.
Caleb Swindle
Parker Swindle b. abt 1730 in Hyde County
Josiah Swindle b. 1732 in Hyde County
William Swindle b. 1735 in Hyde County
Zedekiah Swindle b. 04 Apr 1737

Josiah Swindle was born about 1732 in Albermarie, Hyde County, North Carolina. Josiah was a carpenter by trade. He signed his will on 07May 1804. His estate was probated in 1806. He left mechanic tools equally divided among sons, furniture to daughters and most of his estate to his wife, Ester. Josiah Swindle was married at least three times. The name of his first wife is not known but they had a son:

Caleb Swindle

Josiah Swindle married 2nd Sarah ... . They had sons:

Samuel Swindle
Abraham Swindle
Josiah Swindle married 3rd Ester Balance. They had children:

Robert Swindle
Ananias Swindle b. 1758 in Hyde County, North Carolina
Willis Swindle
Marget Swindle b. 1764 in Hyde County
Pricilla Swindle
Delilah Swindle
Ann Swindle
Elizabeth Swindle

Samuel Swindle was born about 1754 in Hyde County, North Carolina. He died about 1807 in the same county. Samuel is believed to have moved to Bladean County, North Carolina from Hyde County in the late 1700's. Samuel Swindle married a lady named Mary. Mary’s last name is not known. Samuel and Mary Swindle had children:

Willis Swindle
Samuel Swindle

There is an interesting story passed down by Arvena Hambrick Brackett concerning her grandmother Ula Balkus Swindle. Arvena says her grandmother "chewed tobacco and that she would sit on the porch and spit it out into the street". It should be understood that this was a rural area and the street was a dirt path.

*According to another family historian a family Bible records Ula Balkus Swindle as Uler Balkus Swindle. My mother, her grandaughter, says her name was Ula?
Ula (Uler) Blakus Swindle married John Francis Rapert in Randolph County, Arkansas. John and Ula (Swindle) Rapert are buried in the Antioch Cemetery near Doniphan, Missouri.

A Mary Swindell was named in the will (recorded November Court 1777, Norfolk Co, VA) of a William McPherson as his sister. Other siblings named in this will were brothers

Andrew,
Daniel, and
John.

I believe, but do not yet have more than circumstantial evidence, that the above-named individuals were the grandchildren (or perhaps great-grandchildren) of the Daniel Mackafarson who left a will recorded in Norfolk Co, VA, in March 1696/97 in which he named as his heirs his sons Daniel and Andrew.

Notes on tithables and taxes in Botetourt County, VA.
p. 229
“Tithables” in Virginia were white males over sixteen years of years of age, male and female slaves over sixteen years, bond servants over sixteen. The tax, which was a poll tax, was called a “tithe,” which did not mean one-tenth. This poll tax was laid by the General Assembly for carrying on war, for salaries to certain officials, buildings like state houses, and for general public use, and was collected by the sheriff. Poll tax could be levied by county courts for building courthouses, bridges, roads and other local purposes.”
pp. 232-233
“By 1783, the report of tithables had been enlarged to include not only the number of tithables but the number of cattle, horses and slaves owned by each, and a list submitted by Joseph Looney containing that information, shows the names submitted him to be:

Notes
Transported to Virginia before 1654, Settled first in Westmorelanda and then in Northampton b,g.

1 A land grant in Westmoreland was awarded to John Walton and John Bagnal in 1654 in respect of the transportation of 78 persons including Thomas Swindall.a

A land grant in Northampton was awarded to James Price in 1660 in respect of the transportation of 8 persons including Thomas Swindel.b

On the face of it this implies two different Thomas Swindall/Swindels since only one grant should be made in respect of a given transported settler. However 'the headright system was subject to a wide variety of abuses from outright fraud to multiple claims by a merchant and a ship's captain to a headright for the same immigrant passenger.' and 'Headrights were not always claimed immediately after immigration, either; there are instances in which several years elapsed between a person's entry into Virginia and the acquisition of a headright and sometimes even longer between then and the patenting of a tract of land.' (Library of Virginia - notes).

It seems too large a coincidence that two Thomas Swindells should appear within such a short time

2 It is possible that Thomas's wife was Mary Hepward who is mentioned on the same 1660 land certificate. Often indentured servants were forbidden to marry but Thomas Price may not have made this requirement in order to obtain Thomas's services once he had finished his first indenture.

I think you would have to be an expert on the settlement of Virginia at this period to say whether the transportees actually settled on the land named in the grant but I suspect that they would have done so. In that case Thomas Swindle would have known Mary Hepward /Heiward for at least six years, increasing the likehood that she did become his wife.

Thomas's widow Mary remarried twice - this reflects the shortage of women in the colony at this time. 4

3 One Swindle family tree, which has been widely copied, suggests that this Thomas Swindall and Thomas Swinhow might have been the same individual. The information that is now available demonstrates that this is not the case.

Ruby Ann Caughran of Chattanooga, TN, has suggested that Thomas was the son of William Swandal and was born at the Captain John Berkeley Plantation, Northumberland Co VA. This cannot be the case since Thomas must have been transported to entitle John Walton & John Bagnall to their Patent grant of land.

4 M K Miles suggests that Thomas married a Mary who, after Thomas's death, married a Matthew Pepin and then a George Willis. This is based on the gift to his 'son-in-law' (step-son) John Swindellc and bequest to his 'daughter-in-law' (step-daughter) Elizabeth Pepind. Also from #d George, son of George and Mary, was born on the 23rd of August 1671.
Thus the marriage to George Willis must have been before 23rd August 1671 - say 1670 or earlier.
Miles suggests the marriage to Pepin around 1665 and that to Thomas Swindall around 1660.

Richard Payne Spencer suggests Thomas died around 1669 in Rappanoch, Richmond County, Virginia. However his son John witnessed a will in 1700 in Northampton Countye so it seems the family remained in Northampton. (Rappanoch is associated with the other John, son of Timothy, but he died after 1714).

John Swyndals is 'around 24' on 14th of January 1690/1f ie born c1665 and Thomas is 'tithable' in 1666.g

5 'Indentured servitude was a voluntary labour system whereby young people paid for their passage to the New World by working for an employer for a certain number of years. It was widely employed in the 18th century in the British colonies in North America and elsewhere. It was especially used as a way for poor youth in Britain and the German states to get passage to the American colonies. They would work for a fixed number of years, then be free to work on their own. The employer purchased the indenture from the sea captain who brought the youths over; he did so because he needed labour. Some worked as farmers or helpers for farm wives, some were apprenticed to craftsmen. Both sides were legally obligated to meet the terms, which were enforced by local American courts. Runaways were sought out and returned. About half of the white immigrants to the American colonies in the 17th and 18th centuries were indentured'. (See Wikipedia for more information) 'About 75% were under the age of 25.'

'Headrights, first described in the so-called Great Charter of 1618, awarded 100 acres of land each to planters who had been in the colony since May 1616, and 50 acres each to anyone who covered the cost of transporting a new immigrant to Virginia.'

'In its 1642–1643 session, the assembly passed a law mandating that any servant arriving without an indenture and who was younger than twelve years old should serve for seven years, servants aged twelve to nineteen should serve for five years, and servants aged twenty and older should serve for four years. Legislation passed in the 1657–1658 session adjusted these ages: anyone under the age of fifteen should serve until he or she turned twenty-one, while anyone sixteen or older should serve for four years.

6 The wealth of John Bagnall can be recognised by the fact that Edward Plampin, his executor after his death, launched a law case to recover from Edmund Scarborough a ¹5000 debt to the estate.

7 This line almost certainly descends to Willis Swindall and hence the Mattamuskeet Swindells.

Notes for THOMAS SWINDELL:

Thomas SWINDLE was born in 1604 in North Hampton, Virginia. He died about 1669 in Rappanoch, Richmond Co., Virginia. from

Richard Payne Spencer's research.......Mormon records.
HIGH TIDES Historical Society editors vol. 8 no. 2
Hyde Co., NC. states that the first Swindell to arrive in the Virginia Colony, was Thomas Swinhow. In a muster taken 30 Jan. 1624, he is reported as having arrived on the "Diana" and living in the Maine of the Corporation of James City.

In a circa 1626 listing of the Corporation of Charles City, Thomas (Swindle) Swinhow held 300 acres by patent. He was later in 1638, listed as 'kilt by Indians . However, a Thomas Swindell was one of 78 people who arrived safely in Westmorland County, VA. in 1654. An indentured servant, he was transported by John Walton and John Baynal, VA. planters.

Research indicates that Thomas Swindell moved across the bay to North Hampton County on the Eastern shore of VA.

He and a Daniel Swindell were related, possibly as Father and Son, and both are mentioned as tiltable in that county in 1666.

Thomas Swindell had a son, John Swindell, who married the daughter of George Willis. Old North Hampton County, VA. records show that George Willis gave the couple a cow in 1668, a substantial gift for that time period.

A Thomas Swindell was one of 78 people who arrived safely in Westmorland County, VA. in 1654. An indentured servant, he was transported by John Walton and John Baynal, VA. planters; 1729 Thomas Swindell, Cooper, of Beaufort Precinct, Bath Co. N.C. purchased 100 acres on the north side of the Pamlico River from James Singleton........

Check out the Swindell of Cheshire County, England as there is a Hyde twp there containing several Swindells of similar names....... He had over 300 acres by patent; 02/25/1660 Thomas Swindle was in Northhampton, Va and was granted 400 acres of land. (Virginia Land Records, p. 379)

Swindle Family

compiled by Bill Brackett

The Swindle name is believed to be English. It is said to mean "one who came from Swindale" a chapelry in the parish of Shap in northern England’s county of Westmoreland. The original meaning of the name is thought to be derived from a dale or dell where swine were raised or perhaps a haunt of wild boars.

The family claims a coat of arms, which has a boar’s head and two crossed blue swords with gold hilts on a silver shield.

In records I have seen that there was a William Swindell who was born before 1584 in England and was killed in an Indian massacre in Virginia. He died on Captain Berkley's plantation about 60 miles from Jamestown, Virginia in 1624. His last named is spelled Swandal in these records.

In Cheshire, England on 08 Oct 1578 a William Swyndles married Margery Barber. On 10 Dec 1598 in Cheshire, England a William Swindles married Izabell Hiberte. On 29 May 1610 in Cheshire England a William Swindles married Elizabeth Mallbone. There are several others by this name in Cheshire. William Swindles and Isabell Hiberte had sons, Thomas Swindle and Daniel Swindle.

In a muster taken 30 Jan 1624 there is a Thomas Swinhow (Swindell) who was reported as having arrived on the "Diana" and living in the main of the Corporation of James City, Virginia. There was a Thomas Swindell who arrived in Westmoreland County, Virginia in 1654. It has been indicated that Thomas Swindell moved to the eastern shore of Virginia. There was also a Daniel Swindell in this same area as mentioned as tithables in that county in 1666. Thomas Swindell had a son named John Swindell who married the daughter of George Willis. George Willis gave the couple a cow in 1668. John and ... (Willis) Swindell lived in North Hampton, Virginia and he died in North Carolina 1750. Thomas Swindell, who arrived in Westmoreland County, Virginia in 1654, was an indentured servant and John Walton and John Baynol who were Virginian “Planters” paid his transport. John Swindell was still on the eastern shore of Virginia as late as 1700 when he witnessed the will of John Tilney of Nassawaddox.

In 1702 John Swindell moved into Bath County, North Carolina and in that same year proved headrights to 240 acres. This John Swindell may have been the father to Thomas Swindell. In 1729 there was a Thomas Swindell who was a cooper from Beauford Precinct of Bath County North Carolina. Thomas Swindell purchased 100 acres on the north side of the Pamlico River from James Singleton.

There was a Timothy Swindle in Culpeper County, Virginia in the 1770's. This area of Virginia was settled by Germans, but it is believed that this Timothy Swindle was not of German ancestry. Timothy Swindle married Rebecca Crease (Crees, Crest, Criece, Greys) who was clearly German. Rebecca Crease's family was from Wurttemberg in what was to become Germany. Timothy and Rebecca Swindle had children:

Sarah Swindle m. Frederick Baumgardner
Michael Swindle m. Elizabeth Utz
John Swindle m. Hannah Weaver
George Swindle m. Hannah Cornelius
Rebecca Swindle m. John Fray

It is obvious that the Swindle family came from England possibly as early as 1619. They settled in Virginia, moved into North Carolina by 1702, into Tennessee by 1815 and later into Arkansas by 1860.
According to research done by Charles H. Swindle and James E. Swindell The Swindle line is as follows:

John Swindle was born about 1523 in England. John’s wife’s name is unknown. Their son was William Swindle (Swandal) who was born before 1584 in England.
William Swindle (Swandal) married Isabell Hiberte on 10 Dec 1598 in Macclesfield, St. Michael, Cheshire, England. Isabell was born before 1580 in Cheshire.
William Swindle (Swandal) was killed in the Indian massacre on Good Friday, 22 Mar 1622 at Berkley’s Plantation 66 miles from James City, Virginia. James City is known today as Jamestown. Isabell died in 1652 in Virginia. William came to the New World about 1619/20. William and Isabell Swindle had at least two sons:

Thomas Swindle
Daniel Swindle

Thomas Swindle was born about 1604, lived in North Hampton, Virginia and died about 1669 in Rappanock, Richmond County, Virginia. Thomas’s wife’s name is unknown but she was born about 1610 in Rappanock and died about 1670 in Virginia. Thomas Swindle’s known children were:

There is an interesting story passed down by Arvena Hambrick Brackett concerning her grandmother Ula Balkus Swindle. Arvena says her grandmother "chewed tobacco and that she would sit on the porch and spit it out into the street". It should be understood that this was a rural area and the street was a dirt path.

*According to another family historian a family Bible records Ula Balkus Swindle as Uler Balkus Swindle. My mother, her grandaughter, says her name was Ula?
Ula (Uler) Blakus Swindle married John Francis Rapert in Randolph County, Arkansas. John and Ula (Swindle) Rapert are buried in the Antioch Cemetery near Doniphan, Missouri.

William Swindle (b. Abt. 1584, d. 22 Mar 1620/21)

William Swindle (son of John Swindell.) was born Abt. 1584, and died 22 Mar 1620/21 in Captain Berkeley's Plantation, 66 mi from Jamestown. He married Isabell Hiberte on 10 Dec 1598 in Macclesfield, St. Michael, Cheshire, England.

More on Berkeley Plantation... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Plantation

On December 4, 1619, a group of 38 English settlers arrived at Berkeley Hundred , about 8,000 acres (32 km2) on the north bank of the James River near Herring Creek in an area then known as Charles Cittie (sic). It was about 20 miles upstream from Jamestown , where the first permanent settlement of the Colony of Virginia was established on May 14, 1607.

The group's charter required that the day of arrival be observed yearly as a "day of thanksgiving" to God. On that first day, Captain John Woodleaf held the service of thanksgiving. The Charter of Berkeley Plantation specified the thanksgiving service: "Wee ordaine that the day of our ships arrival at the place assigned for plantacon in the land of Virginia shall be yearly and perpetually keept holy as a day of thanksgiving to Almighty God."[8]

During the Indian Massacre of 1622 , nine of the settlers at Berkeley Hundred were killed, as well as about a third of the entire population of the Virginia Colony. The Berkeley Hundred site and other outlying locations were abandoned as the colonists withdrew to Jamestown and other more secure points.


Notes for William Swindle:
[2793807.ged]

ALMANACK; PLACES; HISTORIC BUILDINGS In the 17th century, the sprawling farm was named Martin's Hundred, and it was among the subsidiary "particular plantations" of the joint-stock Virginia Company of London. The Society of Martin's Hundred, named for Richard Martin, recorder of the City of London, was its owner. Sir John Wolstenholme was among its investors. William Harwood was the farm's commander. Martin's Hundred (hundred defined a subdivision of an English county) fronted on 10 miles of the north shore of a bend in the James River, about 9 miles below Jamestown. The administrative center was Wolstenholme Towne, a fortified settlement of about 40 souls sheltering in rough cabins of wattle and daub woven on wooden posts thrust into the clay subsoil. Still, fresh settlers came, and on March 22, 1622, the Powhatans rose to kill as many English as they could surprise in their homes and fields. From near modern Richmond to Newport News, the Powhatans burned and looted dwellings and desecrated corpses. Death counts vary, but about 400 English died. Martin's Hundred, the plantation hardest hit, lost more than 50, perhaps as many as 70. Wolstenholme Towne's death toll was not separated in the death rolls. Wolstenholme Towne was resettled a year or more later but abandoned sometime after 1645. It may be that no trace of the town was apparent by the time planter Robert "King" Carter bought the land about 1709. What remained of Wolstenholme Towne and its dead lay forgotten beneath the plantation's fields and woodlands until 1976. Colonial Williamsburg Foundation © 2002.

Charles, we have very similar ancestry up thru Tenn., then my folks went to Texas in 1880's.I have recently returned from England, and visited the church where William and Izabel were married, and got copies of the marriage records. I did not have time to do more, but plan to return at the first opportunity. This is definitely the seat of the Swindles. By the way, most of the Swindles in Cheshire, England have an s on the end of their name. There are still Hibertes also. They pronounce it Hibbert.

Died:
Berkeley Plantation, one of the first great estates in America, comprises about 1,000 acres (400 ha) on the banks of the James River on State Route 5 in Charles City County, Virginia. Berkeley Plantation was originally called Berkeley Hundred and named after the Berkeley Company of England. Benjamin Harrison IV built on the estate what is believed to be the oldest three-story brick mansion in Virginia and is the ancestral home to two Presidents of the United States: William Henry Harrison, his grandson, and Benjamin Harrison his great-great-grandson.[4][5] It is now a museum property, open to the public.

Among the many American "firsts" that occurred at Berkeley Plantation are:

The first official Thanksgiving: 4 December 1619
First time Army bugle call "Taps" played: July 1862, by bugler Oliver W. Norton; the melody was written at Harrison's Landing, the plantation's old wharf, by Norton and then General Daniel Butterfield.

On December 4, 1619, a group of 38 English settlers arrived at Berkeley Hundred, about 8,000 acres (32 km2) on the north bank of the James River near Herring Creek in an area then known as Charles Cittie (sic). It was named for one of the original founders, Richard Berkeley,[citation needed] a member of the Berkeley family of Gloucestershire, England. It was about 20 miles upstream from Jamestown, where the first permanent settlement of the Colony of Virginia was established on May 14, 1607.

Notes:

Married:
St Michael and All Angels Church overlooks Market Place in the town of Macclesfield, Cheshire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield and the deanery of Macclesfield.[1] It forms a team parish with three other Macclesfield churches: All Saints, St Peter's and St Barnabas'.[2] The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.[3]

A church has been on the site since the 13th century. There have been two major reconstructions, the last being in 1898–1901. Two ancient chapels remain dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. Inside the church are a number of tombs and memorials, mainly to the memory of the Savage and Legh families.

The first church on this site was a chapel built around 1220, soon after the borough of Macclesfield was established. Around 1278 it was extended or rebuilt by Queen Eleanor, wife of Edward I and dedicated to All Saints or All Hallows. A chapel, known as the Legh chapel was built around 1442 for Sir Piers Legh who fought and died at the Battle of Agincourt. Between 1505 and 1507 the Savage Chapel, a larger chantry chapel, was built by Thomas Savage, Archbishop of York from 1501 to 1507.[4]

There have since been a number of reconstructions of the church. In 1739–40 it was rebuilt in neoclassical style and at this time it is likely that the church was rededicated to Saint Michael. In 1740 the wooden tower was taken down because it was considered dangerous. In 1819 the east end was rebuilt and a new chancel added. The last major rebuilding was in 1898–1901 by Arthur Blomfield when the whole church, other than part of the chancel and the Legh and Savage chapels, were replaced.

Swindell, Swindells, Swindall, Swindle, Swindale
Swyndell, Swyndle, Swindal, Swindel

Origin of the Name

The Swindell surname almost certainly originated near Stockport, England (Swindelves) and from there spread out ('ramified') across England and from there to the United States of America and the Commonwealth. In the USA European emigrants and slaves of African origin have contributed other origins to the name. More ...

The spelling of the name

My researches have shown that the spelling of the name prior to the middle of the 19th century is almost entirely a matter of local expectation and the preference of the parish clerk.

For convenience I use 'Swindell' to refer to all the variants listed above - unless I specifically use another variant.

Variants
I treat Swinden, Swinney, Swindler, Swindley, Swondel, Swandel as distinctly different surnames from Swindell though there is a possibility that on occasion they have been deviants (errors) that became established as variants. See Variants and Deviants for further discussion.

Guild of One Name Studies
I have researched the surname in England for more than 20 years, including many, many individuals not known to be related to myself. In 2013 I decided to register my interest in the Swindell Surname with the Guild of One Name Studies.

I am looking for colleagues to collaborate with me in areas outside the British Isles to contribute their skills in research in countries outside the British Isles.

Until the present (2013) I have avoided the use of databases since they do not satisfactorily handle ''probablistic' or 'fuzzy' relationships (i.e. 'probably' or'possibly' or 'maybe') and hate dual relationships (e.g. claiming two different individuals as possibly being their father!) However I have now decided to create a database of genealogical 'facts'. But beware, it is a wise man who knows his own father!

Frequency / Distribution
There were perhaps 16 to 17 thousand individuals named Swindell (or similar) at the end of the 20th century. Two thirds of these were in the United States of America as a result of immigration from England, the naming of slaves after their owner and immigration from Europe, followed by anglicisation of continentatal names. The majority of the remainder were in the north-west of England where the name had originated. Others were the decendants of immigrants to the Commonwealth. More ....

Coat of Arms ?
It is almost certain that there are no genuine coats of arms for the Swindells - despite what various websites which would like you to believe.

Family Coat of Arms?- Forget it!

The 'House of Arms' states 'First found in Cheshire where they were anciently seated as Lords of the Manor near Cheadle'?

Unlikely! The 'ancient' Swindells in Cheshire were peasant farmers, yeomen at best, and never entitled to a coat of arms. Swindelves was part of the manor of Bosden held by the de Honefort or Honford family c.1235.

I have not yet found a Swindell in England who even claimed an Armorial Bearing.

Famous Swindells
Swindells may have acquired local fame but true global fame eluded them until the twin Evers-Swindell sisters of New Zealand gained international glory with their rowing prowess. More ....

The Swindell/Swindle Family History

(Source ) Swindle is an English name. Swindle did not denote the Englishman engaged in fraudulent transactions, as one might suppose, but is merely a respelling of Swindell "dweller in valley where swine were bred," or a corruption of Swindale "pig valley", a village in Westmoreland.

http://www.surnamedb.com/surname.aspx?name=swindle

Surname: Swindle

This interesting and most unusual name, found widespread in Lancashire is most probably an English locational name from "Swindale" in Skelton, North Yorkshire, so called from the Old English pre seventh Century words "swin", pig, wild boar, plus the second element "dael", a valley, hence, the valley where the wild boars roamed or the valley where pigs were reared. The following quote refers to another place of the name in the parish of Cheedle, in Cheshire, where the surname may also have sprung from: " A branch of the family of Howford held a small estate here "Bosden in the 14th Century, called "Swndelves". (Cheshire Wills Records). Henry Swyndell married Janet Winterbotham on November 13th 1575, at Rotherham in Yorkshire, while at Almondbury, Yorkshire Joannes son of Petri Swendell was christened on April 1st 1578. James Swindells married Faith Ormondroy d at Bradford in Yorkshire on January 3rd 1820. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Roger Swyndels, of Marple, which was dated 1522, in the "Cheshire Wills Records", during the reign of King Henry V111, known as "Good King Hal", 1509 - 1547. 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.
