page 1. After leaving Cowes, Isle of Wight, November 22, 1633, passengers of Lord Baltimore's vessels landed in Maryland the following March 25. In that company was our John Nevil (2) not more than about 22 years of age. There can be little doubt that John was descended from England's noble Neville family.
page 2 John Nevill was among 15 "able men" transported by Leonard Calvert. As such a transportee, he apparently had certain obligations to fulfill before he could take his place as a "freeman". On March 24, 1637, he appeared before the Assembly and "claymed voice as freeman andwasadmitted". The record shows that immediately afterward he found him slef on a jury in a murder trial in which the defendant was found guilty andpromptly sentenced to be hanged. This was the first of many cased in which our ancestor was plaintiff, defendant, witness, or juryman. And, later in Charles County, he acted nine times as attorney for others. (Archives, Volume 53 (published in 1936 page xliii
Almost every Neville family historian has quoted William F. Boogher, in some cases probably without ever having seen his name. They must have read his words quoted by others who failed to give his credit. Many times I have read statements identical to his, even his minor errorss, in wrtings that do not
cite him.
"The Wigfield and Nelson Families of Fauquier County, Virginia by J. DouglasBradshaw 299 Littletown Quarter Williamsburg, Virginia 23185
p 298 It is clear from the land records of Maryland that John Neville was a planter residing at "The Clefts" on the west side of the Patuxent River, in St. Mary's County, now in Calvert, possessed of some means, for at least four years as a single man, and about fourteen years before he made any demannd upon the
Lord Manor for lands due him under the law, for transporting himself in 1635 and his wife Bridget in 1639, into the Province of Maryland.
"In 1639 he transported his first wife, Bridget Throsley, an English woman as appears from this affidavit dated November 8, 1659, in which he states he transported his said wife, Bridget, some twenty years previous. See Liber 4 Folio 186, of land warrants, land office, Annapolis, Maryland.
"May 5, 1662, John Neville instituted suit by attachments against Duncan Bohannon for debt. (Chancery record for Charles County 1662) and in 1664 this suit was continued by counsel on account of the death of the plantiff. John Neville died January 7, 1664, as in July of this year his will bearing date
January 7, 1664, was proved in which are mentioned his (third) wife Joanna and their son, William, and his daughter Ellen Lambert, now wife of John of Charles County, and appoints his son William and his son-in-law, John Lambert, executors. He doubtless had provided for his older children by deeds of gift
or otherwise, hence no mention of their names in his will, this being a practice common in colonial times, where there were more than one set of children. See will which is recorded among the Provincial will records at Annapolis, Maryland."
Some family members claim that John Neville was from Durham, England and that he sailed with Lord Baltimore from Cowes England on the "Ark and Dove" and arrived at Point Comfort in Virginia on 24 Feb 1634. No proof was offered to support this claim.
NOTE: I moved to Arizona in 1978 and never had the opportunity to meet Joseph B. NEVILLE.

On the petition of George Neavill license is granted him to keep an ordinary at his dwelling

Fauquier During the Proprietorship - A Chronicle of the Colonization and Organization of
the Northern Neck County, By H. C. GROOME. Page 144
Rev John Brunskill, Junior was a minister who liked strong drinks. Brunskill was involved
in several altercations with the head of the Church. George Neavil was involved in the
situation to some small degree.
As can readily be imagined this deplorable episode profoundly disturbed the parish and
brought about the dissolution of the vestry which at that time consisted of John Wright, John
James, William Blackwell, Joseph Hudnall, Richard Hampton, Wharton Ransdell, William
Roussau, George Neavil, Joseph Blackwell, Elias Edmunds, Benjamin Bullitt and George
Crump. Page 144.
Of the ordinaries within the territory of Fauquier the most important was George Neavil’s
situated on Cedar Run where the Carolina road was intersected by the Dumfried road.
Neavil’s appears to have been a place of public entertainment as early as 1748 when
George William Fairfax and George Washington spent the night at “Mr
George Neavil’s in Prince William County on their way from Belvoir to the Valley. On
the organization of Fauquier in 1759, the records of the court show that in that year, Neavil
applied for a license to keep ordinary and that his license was renewed in 1761 and again in
1770. he died in 1774, but the ordinary was continued by his widow, Mary Neavil, who
took a license in her own name in the following year. After her death the place, still known as Neavils’s was conducted by a son in law, Ambrose Barnett, who obtained licenses in 1778 and 1780, and again in 1792.”

From, "Founders of Early American Families, Emigrants from Europe 1607-1657, Revised Edition":
Page 219:
NEVILLE
JOHN born ca 1612. Came on "Ark and Dove" 1633, St. Mary's Co., (Md.), d. Calvert co., June 1664. Planter. "Neville Family 1964; Skordas, "Early Settlers of Maryland," 1968."
"John Neville died January 7, 1664, as in July of this year his will bearing date January 7, 1664, was proved in which are mentioned his (third) wife Joanna and their son, William, and his daughter Ellen Lambert, now wife of John of Charles County, and appoints his son, William and his son-in-law, John Lambert, executors. He doubtless had provided for his older children by deeds of gift or otherwise, hence no mention of their names in his will, this being a practice common in colonial times, where there were more than one set of children. See will which is recorded among the Provincial Will Records at Annapolis, Maryland."
From, "The Flowering of the Maryland Palatinate," by Harry Wright Newman
Biographies of the Adventurers, John Neville, Page 240:
"He was out of the Province for a time, perhaps under contract as a mariner, and returned bringing with him a wife, Bridget Thorsely. On November 14, 1649, he applied to the Surveyor General for 200 acres of land by right of his own transportation and that of his wife in 1646. Accordingly, 400 acres of land were issued to him under the name of "Nevill's Cross."
By 1651 Bridget was deceased, and he had married secondly Joan [Johanna] Porter. On January 29, 1652/3, he demanded 400 acres of land which had been assigned him by George Askwith and 100 acres more "for the transportation of Joan Porter now my wife in 1651 and whom I bought of Thomas Doynes."
It was Joanna, as Goodie Nevill, who was brought to bed of a daughter about 1658 which was the occasion of the defamation suit. Later as Goodie Neville she had a regular female hair-pulling contest with Goodie Rod at which time Goodie Rod yelled murder which brought several gentlemen to the scene. Goodie Rod seemed to have received the worst of the contest, for she was "hit in the chips" and was "Crying and torne or scratch about the throat and face and bled."
Before the battle of the two housewives, Goodie Nevill made a trip to the homeland, for at court held in the Province in October 1656, Emperor Smith sued John Nevill for "Physick and Chirurgery" which he had administered to his wife. Nevill denied in court this his wife "never had any Such things of the said Smith", but inasmuch as at that time the wife of John Nevill was in England, both parties agreed to refer the case "till the said Nevill's wife returne out of England."
It was no doubt during the absence of his wife that John Nevill became a victime of the seductive charms of Susan Atcheson, the wife of James Atcheson, who accused him of adulterous relations on May 15, 1657. On November 4, 1657, the court found them both guilty and ordered 20 lashes upon the bare back and that John Nevill paid all court charges. John Nevill apparently had many friends in the county, for a number of peitions were presented at court, to impose a fine rather than the whipping and that they would pay a fine of 500 lbs. tob [tobacco]. in his behalf. No petitions were offered for the woman who apparently received no sympathy from her neighbors.
Before 1659 John Nevill settled in Port Tobacco Hundred, for on November 3, of that year, he "commanded" John Jarbo and Mary his wife to hold to their bargain and convey to him 300 acres of land at Portoback (sic.) In the same year he and eleven other freeholders were commissioned to appraise the estate of Captain Lewis, deceased at Nanjemoy. Among Lewis' land holdings was Rice Manor of 3000 acres on which Lewis held lordship.
At a court held in Charles County in February 1662/3, John Nevill, Gent., made a deed of gift to his son-in-law, John Lambert, and his wife of certain livestock for a period of four years, and that in 1666 the stock and the increase were to be divided euqally between the said John Lambert and William nevill, the son of John. At the same time he assigned several servants to his son-in-law and certain bills due him.
In October 1663, Henry Hudson assigned to John Nevill all goods, chests or truckes in the dwelling house of the said Nevill, but Hudson was to enjoy the use of the goods until a certain debt due Nevill was paid. John Lambert and William Nevill witnessed the transaction. The goods were subsequently attached by "Mr. John Nevill" at the following January court.
In August 1664, Robert Slye, Esq., deeded a mare and her filly to John Nevill which occurred a few months before his death, for his last will and testament was dated January 14, 1664/5, and probated at court on February 4, the following.
He devised his wife, Joanna, the real and personal property formerly bestowed by deed of gift, and to his son, William, the swelling-plantation. To his daughter, Ellen Lambert, he bequeathed personalty. The original administration bond of his son for 80,000 lbs. tob. is on file at Annapolis showing the signatures of William Price, Thomas Payne and Charles Calvert.
Only two children were named in his will. The girl born to Joanna in 1658 was probably Rachell who later married Michael Ashford.
Children of John Nevill
1. William Nevill.
2. Eleanor Nevill married John Lambert.
3 Rachel Nevill married Michael Ashford.
On March 24, 1664/5, his personal estate was appraised at 51,153 lbs. tob. by Francis Pope and Capt. Robert Troope. Among the chattels were one silver bowl, two white maid-servants, one white man-servant, one white boy-servant and three Negro slaves. Also 13 silver spoons, two silver items and a parcel of books.
After his death Walter Story, Merchant of London, sued the estate for various items sold to him and not satisfied, among which was "one new Ring and setting a stonein another", also nine gallons of sacke, five gallons of brandy, and a pair of woman's shoes.
On June 24, 1665, Johanna Nevill, widow, for 5,000 lbs. tob. purchased "Moore's Ditch" from Henry Moore and Elizabeth his wife, of Charles County, lying on the east side of _______and patented to the said Henry Moore. In some manner the administration of the estate of John Nevill fell to William Price, inasmuchas on the preceding day John Lambert who declared himself as one of the partners in the administration of the estate of John Nevill, deceased, confirmed all accounts of William Price. The instrument was witnessed by Thomas Hussey and William Nevill.
In July 1665, his widow, Johanna Nevill, deeded the "fillie foale" which had been acquired from Robert Slye to John Lambert for the use of Lambert's on John. The gift was witnessed by William Price and William Nevill.
By August 13, 1666, the widow had married Thomas Hussey, Gent.,[witness to the Moore's Ditch transaction above] for on that day William Nevill, Thomas Hussey and Joanna his wife conveyed to Thomas Wentworth for 10,600 lbs. tab. the land on the north side of the Piscataway known as "Heller's Palme", of 150 acres, as sold to the said Thomas Wentworth by John Nevill, deceased, but yet not acknowledged by reason of his untimely death. William Nevill and Thomas Hussey signed the deed of conveyance, while Johanna made her initial IH.
Although she was formerly addressed as "Goodie Nevill", her second husband was Thomas Hussey, son of the Rev. John Hussey, of Harby, Lincolnshire, with title of "Gent." and one-time merchant and magistrate of Charles County. She was either his second or third wife, and while his daughters and co-heiresses have generally been stated to be issue of a previous marriage, a recent document would indicate that they were daughters by his wife, Johannah.*
*Thomas Hussey, of Maryland, Gent. and Johannah his wife deeded on Nov. 13, 1677 to Rachell Ashford, natural [legitimate daughter of the body] daughter of Johannah and wife of Michael Ashford, of Charles County, Carpenter, for love and affections "Moore's Ditch" in Charles County on the west side of Zachia Swamp adjoining the land of George Goodrick and Robert Goodrick. For want of issue after the death of Rachell Ashford, then "ye said Thomas Hussey & Johannah his wife do by these presents grant ye said land to Mary Hussey* and Elizabeth Hussey* their natural daughters equally and for want of such issue then ye said Thomas Hussey and Johanna his wife unto ye heirs of Her ye said Johannah sister Margaret wife of Francis Pope**, of Charles County, deceased". Ref: Chas. Co. Deeds, Liber G, folio 72.
**Francis Pope owned land in Prince George's Co., Maryland called Rome and named himself the Pope of Rome, he was one of the original land patentees in what was to become Washington, DC and was of Scot descent.

NEVILL Family
First Generation
1. John Nevill was in England 1612. John died January 7, 1664 in Of Port Tobacco, Charles, Maryland.
He married twice. He married Johanna Porter. He married Bridget Thoresby in Maryland, 1638. Bridget was born 1612. A 370-Year History of One Neville Family (1612-1982) by Joseph B. Neville, Tempe Arizona, 1982, page 1. After leaving Cowes, Isle of Wight, November 22, 1633, passengers of Lord Baltimore's vessels landed in Maryland the following March 25. In that company was our John Nevil not more than about 22 years of age. There can be little doubt that John was descended from England's noble Neville family..., page 2 John Neville was among 15 "able men" transported by Leonard Calvert. As such a transportee, he apparently had certain obligations to fulfill before he could take his place as a "freeman". On March 24, 1637, he appeared before the Assembly and "claymed voice as freeman and was admitted". The record shows that immediately afterward he found him self on a jury in a murder trial in which the defendant was found guilty and promptly sentenced to be hanged. This was the first of many cases in which our ancestor was plaintiff, defendant, witness, or juryman. And, later in Charles County, he acted nine times as attorney for others. (Archives, Volume 53, published in 1936, page xliii...Almost every Neville family historian has quoted William F. Boogher, in some cases probably without ever having seen his name. They must have read his words quoted by others who failed to give his credit. Many times I have read statements identical to his, even his minor errors, in writings that do not cite him. "The Wigfield and Nelson Families of Fauquier county, Virginia," by J. Douglas Bradshaw 299 Littletown Quarter Williamsburg, Virginia 23185, pg. 298--"It is clear from the land records of Maryland that John Neville was a planter residing at "The Clefts" on the west side of the Patuxent River, in St. Mary's County, now in Calvert, possessed of some means, for at least four years as a single man, and about fourteen years before he made any demand upon the Lord Manor for lands due him under the law, for trasporting himself in 1635 and his wife Bridget in 1639, into the Province of Maryland." "In 1639 he transported his first wife, Bridget Thorsley, an English woman as appears from this affidavit dated November 8, 1659, in which he states he transported his said wife, Bridget, some twenty years previous. See Liber 4 Folio 186, of Land Warrants, Land Office, Annapolis, Maryland. "May 5, 1662, John Neville instituted suit by attachments against Duncan Bohannon for debt.( Chancery Record for Charles County 1662) and in 1664 this suit was continued by counsel on account of the death of the plaintiff. John Neville died January 7, 1664, as in July of this year his will bearing date January 7, 1664, was proved in which are mentioned his (third) wife Joanna and their son, William, and his daughter, Ellen Lambert, now wife of John of Charles County, and appoints his son William and his son-in-law, John Lambert, executors. He doubtless had provided for his older children by deeds of gift or otherwise, hence no mention of their names in his will, this being a practice common in colonial times, where there were more than one set of children. **See Will which is recorded among the Provincial Will Records at Annapolis, Maryland."
Some family members claim that John Neville was from Durham, England and that he sailed with Lord Baltimore from Cowes, England on the "Ark and the Dove" and arrived at Point Comfort in Virginia on 24 Feb 1634. No proof was offered to support this claim.**John Neville is listed as a Transportee on the Ark and the Dove--B. Price
The children of John Neville, Sr. (the immigrant) and his first wife, Bridget Thoresly: 1. James Jr., born ca 1640 at "The Clefts," Calvert County, Maryland. 2. Ellen, born ca 1642 at "The Clefts," Calvert County, Maryland married John Lambert before 1693. The only child of John Neville Senior and his third wife, Johanna Porter: 1.

"By August 13, 1666, the widow had married Thomas Hussey, Gent., for on that day William Nevill, Thomas Hussey and Joanna his wife conveyed to Thomas Wentworth for 10,600 lbs. tob. the land on the north side of the Piscataway known as "Heller's Palme," of 150 acres, as sold to the said Thomas Wentworth by John Nevill, deceased, but yet not acknowledged by reason of his untimely death.

Chas. Co. Deeds, Liber G, folio 72."
"Joan also seems to have been an unusual woman, as Newman recounts another tale about her: She had a hair pulling contest with Goodie Rod at which time Goodie Rod yelled murder which brought several gentlemen to the scene. Goodie Rod seemed to have received the worst of the contest for she was hit in the chops' and was crying and torne or scratch about the throat and face and bled'.
Several years later, Joan filed a malicious defamation of character suit against a Thomas Baker. Joan's name eventually was cleared and Baker was required to ask forgiveness on bended knee. Though Joan later claimed she was afraid for her life from Baker, she appears to have been a woman well able to take care of herself."
Court Record (26, 71), 9 Jul 1662, Charles Co., Maryland, USA
John Nevill Plt.; Mr Thomas Baker Def: case of defamation agst the wife of John Nevill. George Thompson swore that Thomas Baker told him in the present of Richard Dod and James Fox that heard goodie Nevill was to have sworn against him for "landlord Robisson" and that if she came to swear they would have put her by her oath that she was a common whore; wit: Richard Dod, James Fox, Mary Dod, age c26, Elizabeth Hussey age c 20y, Thomas Hussey; Board ordered Baker to ask forgiveness of John Nevill & his wife who said they desired Baker to ask God, not them, forgiveness.
George Thompson then told the story that Thomas Baker intended to use in court to impugn Joan Nevill's testimony against him: Being newly delivered of a Girle as she lay in bed shee invited a man that accidentally happened to bee thear [William Empson, whose wife, Mary, had assisted at the childbirth] to come to bed to her and get her a boy to her Girle at which speach...the party turned himself about and called his dog Trogian to perform the office as more fitting for a dog the[n] a man. Mr. Baker, said Thompson, had then asked him "whether or no I thought so wicked a woman was a Competent witness against any man."
Nevill's next witness was William Robisson, who, over Baker's objection, said that Baker had told him the same tale and had also reported of one John Blackwood that "he fukes her [Joan] oftener than John Nevill himself." Three more witnesses (all men) then appeared to bolster Nevill's case. Mr. Baker responded by calling three witnesses of his own, Mary Dod and Mr. Thomas and Mistress Elizabeth Hussey. All attested to hearing the story of Joan Nevill's childbed outburst not from Mr. Baker but from Susan Robisson, William's wife, who attended the birth along with Mary Empson and two other women. In his original petition to the court, John Nevill suggested that his wife had "spoken through overmuch Joy of her safe delivery of a Child" and that consequently "it is a most Malicious and injurious infamie Cast on her and altogether unbeseeming so modest a man as he by his place [as county commissioner] is bound (or at least to counterfet himself) to bee." The court agreed with Nevill's argument, concluding that "it was against nature that such a thing coold bee spoken with a desier and therefore aught not to have been reiterated as an infamie unto her." The judges ordered Mr. Baker to apologize to the Nevills in open court "upon his bended knees" and to pay court costs, but the Nevills "desiered the sayd baker to aske god forgivenes and with the leave of the board [court] not them."

Notes for WILLAM NEVILLE:
From, "The Flowering of the Maryland Palatinate," by Harry Wright Newman; published by the author, Washington, 1961:
"William Nevill [Neville] was the only son named in the last will and testament of his father, John Nevill, in 1665. It is estimated that his birth occurred about 1645, and he would therefore be the son of Bridget Thorsley, the first wife. At a court held in 1662, John Nevill recorded a deed of gift of one cow to his son William. By the next year William Nevill was witnessing various court instruments which indicated that he had at least attained the age of 16 or 18 years.
The will of his father was probated in 1665, and at a court held in Charles County on June 12, 1666, he demanded a summons be issed to Mr. William Price and John Lamber (sic) to deliver him his estate then in their possession. On August 14, same year, he proved to the court that he had reached his majority and requested that he make choice of a freeholder to receive his estate. The court assented and Samuel Cressy was named to receive the orphan's estate. On October 10, 1666, he gave his receipt to John Lambert and William Price for his inheritance.
On August 17, 1666, styled William Neville, of Portobacco, he conveyed to Thomas Mathews, Gent., for 3000 lbs. tob. "Huccke Berry Swamp," as laid out for 300 acres, adjoining the land of Thomas Baker, with barns, stables, and other improvements. The body of the deed referred to Joane as the "wife of the said William Nevill." He was addressed as "Mr.". In the same year he gave bond to William Allen and John Munn for the conveyance of 150 acres of land.
On June 8m 1669, William Allen and John Munn sold the land located on the High Cliffs of the Potomac about Cedar Point, which they had purchased from William Neville, to Richard Bennett, stating in the deed that it had been granted to John Jarbo who assigned to John Neville, deceased, and which became the inheritance of William Neville, the son and heir.
On the same day, John Munn deeded to William Neville for 2700 lbs. tob. land formerly laid out for Thomas Cotes, of Charles County, on the south side of the Piscataway River and on a branch of the Mattawoman. At a court in 1674, John Munn swore that he witnessed the delivery of a mare to Edmond Lindsey by William Neville.
After 1674 the references to William Neville are rather fragmentary, but it is possible that he was in and out of the Province as a mariner. In 1697 Thomas Davis, taylor, of Charles County, under oath swore that William Neville "doth keepe & entertaine another man's wife by force & against ye peace of our Sovereigne Lord ye King." At the September court of that year William Neville appeared and swore that the woman was his lawful wife. He presented a certificate from Salem [Massachusetts] dated October 28, 1694, as follows:
"This may satisfy whom it may concerne that William Neville & Sarah Noble is lawfully marryed by me according to ye
Laws of our county. Given under my hand ye Day & yeare above written.
witnessed by:"
(signed) Tho: Hartshorne

At the same time Jane Browike signed a statment that she had received full satisfaction from all claims from the said Nevill as by deed 28 March 1695, and that she "acquit discharge ye sd Wm Nevill from any pretense of marriage & will never trouble nor any way molest ye sd Nevill During his natural life." If the subject of this marriage were William Neville, the son and heir of John, he was fully 50 or more years of age.
In 1700 William and Thomas Neville appeared in court records, so there is a question whether William and Thomas are father and son or two brothers. At court on December 12, 1700, William Neville and Thomas Neville, of Charles County, were accused of carrying away at Mattawoman one spotted barrow hog valued at 400 lbs. tob. belonging to Matthews Sanders. They were represented by their attorney, Joshua Cecil, but were declared guilty by a jury of seventeen and given "one hour in the pillory" and at the whipping post each one was to receive 10 lashes on the bare back and to pay the four-fold value of the hog which was appraised at 300 lbs. tob."
** There is no proof that the above Thomas Nevill is the brother of William Nevill, as John Nevill had no son named Thomas and there is no documentation that I have seen stating that he did--B. Price

ELEANOR NEVILLE LAMBERT
By 1662 John Lambert had married Eleanor Neville, the daughter of John Neville, Mariner, and his wife, as the birth of a son was recorded at court in 1663/4. Furthermore, John Neville by his will of February 14, 1664/5, named his daughter, Ellen Lambert and his son John Lambert. Lambert furthermore administered on the estate of his father-in-law. The births and parentage of four children are proved by the court records of Charles County.

His estate was appraised at 86 lbs 18s. 6d., and his executor, William Dent, accounted for 10 gallons of Rum served at the funeral.

Notes for JOHN LAMBERT:
From, "The Flowering of the Maryland Palatinate, Biographies of the Adventurers," by Harry Wright Newman:
"At a court held in Charles County in February 1662/63, John Nevill, Gent., made a deed of gift to son-in-law, John Lambert, and his wife of certain livestock for a period of four years, and that in 1666 the stock and the increase were to be divided equally between the said John Lambert and William nevill, the son of John. At the same time he assigned several servants tohis son-in-law and certain bills due him. (Archives, Vol. 53, p. 329)
In July 1665, his widow, Johanna Nevill, deeded the "fillie foale" which had been acquired from Robert Slye to John Lambert for the use of Lambert's on John. The gift was witnessed by William Price and William Nevill.

He doubtless had provided for his older children by deeds of gift or otherwise, hence no mention of their names in his will, this being a practice common in colonial times, where there were more than one set of children.

3. RACHEL2 NEVILLE (JOHN1) was born 1658 in Of Port Tobacco, Maryland, and died December 1701 in Baltimore Co., Maryland. She married MICHAEL ASHFORD Abt. 1678 in Calvert Co., Maryland. He was born Abt. 1658 in Maryland5, and died 1734 in Prince William Co., Virginia.
Notes for RACHEL NEVILLE:
From, "The Flowering of the Maryland Palatinate," by Harry Wright Newman, published by the author, Washington, 1961:
"Rachel Neville, daughter of John Neville and Joan Porter his wife, married Michael Ashford, of Charles County, sometime before November 13, 1677, when her mother and the latter's second husband, Thomas Hussey, Gent., deeded them "Moore's Ditch." Michael Ashford was a carpenter and planter of Nanjemoy Hundred, and on June 13, 1670, he had witnessed a deed of Thomas Hussey and Joan his wife. In 1671 a reference was made to the estate of Michael Ashford whose wife was Deborah, so it was possible that they were the parents of younger Michael.
Michael Ashford became involved in several lawsuits. It seemed as if he was out of the Province for a time, whereby his estate was placed in the hands of his step-father-in-law, Thomas Hussey, especially on November 11, 1673, when the court ordered the attachment of his goods to the value of 9000 lbs. tob.
About 1680 Michael Ashford, addressed as Captain, was surety with Francis Wyne for Thomas Marshall, the administrator of the estate of Samuel Raspin, late of Charles County. By 1683 Francis Wyne was deceased and his widow had married Henry Hawkins. Hawkins consequently became the joint-surety with Ashford, but at court Hawkins declared that Ashford had gone to Virginia.
When he assigned "Moore's Ditch" to his father-in-law, Thomas Hussey, Gent., on June 10, 1691, he was styled Michael Ashford, of Charles County, Carpenter. The consideration was 35,000 lbs. tob. and the plantation lay on the west side of Zachia Swamp adjoining the land of George and Robert Goodrick. This could have been a mortgage or only a portion of the plantation, for on March 10, 1714/15, he sold to Ignatius Luckett, of Charles County, Planter, "Moore's Ditch" for 7000 lbs. tob.
On April 14, 1726, being of Stafford County, Virginia, he conveyed to John Smallwood, of Portobacco Creek, for 600 lbs. tob. "Totsal," lying on the south side of Potomac River.
The loss of many records of Stafford County prevents greater knowledge of the activities of Michael Ashford and his immediate descendants. The last will and testament of a Michael Ashford was probated in Prince William County, Virginia, in 1734 [Will Book C, 1734 to 1744]."

**The above deed is filled with info about Samuel Hardy, Sr.'s family--

3) Elizabeth Reed is the daughter of Samuel Hardy, Sr. and Fielder Dowden.
4) Jesse Phillips is the husband of Mary Hardy, daughter of Samuel Hardy, Sr. and Fielder Dowden.

**We now know that Fielder married Samuel Allison
6. Mary Hardy, b. ca. 1767.
**We now know that Mary married Jesse Phillips--he must have been her first husband and died prior to 1799.

Notes for FREDERICK BURNES:
(Charles) Frederick A. "Fred" Burn(e)s
in Madison County, AL and Lincoln County, TN
Gleanings of Pioneer History, W. R. Jones, Interview found in Marion Co, AR Library
==================================
I have no early dates stating when the first (Burnes) arrived in America but it was before the Revolutionary War because one, Charles Fredrick Burnes, was here and fought for our freedom during that war. I have in my possession a remnant of an old spelling book which belonged to him, bearing a date of 1755. This book is covered with cloth entirely homemade, every thread hand-spun and handwoven. The first part of this book is almost worn away indicating that "Charlie" didn't finish the course outlined by the author. The front part of the book was probably the extent of his literary education. This was my great-great-grandfather. His wife was a Miss Hardy. The family is of Scotch descent.
Note: Placed here because this is one of only a few records where Frederick has been referred to as Charles Frederick.

Pg 155 & 162 - Monday, July 22, 1822 - The due execution of an Indenture of bargain and Sale from Frederick A. Burnes to James Daniel for 45 acres of land, proven by Elnathan Davis and P. Gillaspie and ordered to be certified.
Notes: 1) There is a new and old State line. I have a copy of a map which shows the new line. Frederick's land could have crossed the line making him pay taxes in Madison County, MS Territory and later in Lincoln Co, TN. Another option would be that the Charles in Madison County, AL was not our Frederick. However, there were a large number of mentions of Huntsville, Madison County, AL in the court books. It's also important to note that at least one of Fred's children, Jemima, was married in Madison County, AL. 2) There are many more mentions of John Bailey in Lincoln Co, TN records as well as Madison County, AL. See info under John Bailey. Wish we knew who John's father was. We may have him on our lists here. 3) Fred first shows up in records in Lincoln Co, TN in 1811. The original Lincoln County was formed in 1809 by Act of the General Assembly of Tennessee meeting at Knoxville and was to become effective January 1, 1810. It was the first progeny county of old Bedford that had been established December 3, 1807. The lands of Lincoln had been under the domain of North Carolina for many years, prior to its establishment and was once a part of Green, Davidson, Rutherford, part of Williamson and finally Bedford, the parent county. County records do not begin until 1810. Therefore, it is likely that he was here prior to that time. 4) Fred's last record in Lincoln County was dated 1822. In 1822 there was land up for sale in Madison County, TN. (This is Madison County, TN not Madison County, AL. These are two distinct areas.) There is a record of a James Burnes who purchased land in Jackson, Madison County, TN in 1822. Fred is listed on the 1830 census of Madison County, TN. I believe he moved there around 1822. Of special interest is the fact that according to this census record, Barbara is still living in 1830. Also, either there were other boys aged 10-15 in 1830 or these are the ages of Samuel and Silvanus (plus one other boy). There is one daughter listed age 15-20 which I do not have in my database. I also noticed that I have a 10 year span between the births of Truman and James Wilkerson. Therefore, other family could indeed fit into the picture. 5) Another observation I found interesting is a mention of Davy Crockett who lived in Lincoln County, TN during these early years. In 1822 he is listed in Madison County, TN as a congressman from this area. He left there and went to Texas and we all know what happened at the Alamo. It is highly possible that Frederick and other Burnes in the area knew Davy. (By the way, there were quite a few men that left Tennessee with Davy. Didn't I hear one of our cousins online mention that there was a Burnes at the Alamo? I would like to explore this again sometime.) In addition, there were a lot of other families now in Madison County, TN (also in Hardeman and Henderson Counties where other Burnes family settled) who I researched in Lincoln County while going through the court records, etc. It appears that a large group left Lincoln County around the same time. 6) There is a David Cowan family in Lincoln County, TN. Since Fred was there from 1811 (probably earlier) to roughly 1822, I am inclined to think that this is the family that Fred's daughter Phildera married into. There is no actual mention of a Silas Cowan. Marion Burnes says that Silas's father is named Andrew. Could it be David Andrew or even Andrew David? This David was a very prominent citizen in Lincoln County. However, he died without a will. There is a mention of James Cowen, presumably his oldest son, who along with a Stephen Hightower, administrated David's estate. Incidentally, there is an Alexander Cowen, who I believe to be David's son, in the Lincoln County, TN records. He later moved to Hardeman County, TN and is listed on the 1830 census. He was there during the time that Alfred and Truman Burnes were tried. Also on the 1830 census of Hardeman are 3 John Burns, a Nancy Burnes, a Thomas Burns, a Washington Burns, 2 John Gray's (this name relates to the Cowen side of the family), and a Rollins Cowen. 7) In 1830, Frederick lived in Madison County, TN, just above Hardeman, and Silas, Thomas, and Charlotte Burnes are listed in Henderson County which is one county to the east of Madison County, TN. Besides Frederick A. Byrn, there is also a John W. Byrn , Ransom H. Byrn (who - by the way appears to have two other adults living in his household), and Upton Byrn living in Madison County, TN.

OBITUARY FOR BARBARA BAILEY
Again the death angel has visited us and taken for its victim our dear old Aunt Barbara Winfree, daughter of John and Jemima Bailey. She was born in Henderson County near Reagan, TN on August 17, 1832 and died January 14, 1914, aged 82y, 4m and 27 days. She professed faith in Christ at the early age of 19 years. She joined the Baptist Church at Union Hill and lived a consistent member for 63 years. At the age of 21 years she was married to Edgar Washburn and to this union was born one son, J. R. Washburn. About five years after this marriage her husband died of typhoid fever. Some time after this she was married to J. E. Winfree, and to this union was born three children, a son, who died in infancy, and two daughters. After about five years she lost this husband in the Civil War; she being left with seven small children to care for: three being her own: J.R. Washburn who died at about the age of 50 years and Mrs. Pearlee Daniel of Texas, and Mrs. J. G. Brooks of Center Point, TN. Four stepchildren: two deceased and two sho survive her, Mr. G. A. Winfree of Center Point, TN and Mrs. John Clark of Sardis, TN. She and he son left Center Point about sixteen years ago to make Texas their home and remained there until his death which was about four years ago. After this she returned back to Center Point to her daughter, Mrs. Brooks, where she remained until death. She spent her 82nd birthday at a baptizing at her church of friends and relatives one of which was 13 year old niece which greatly impressed her and she hoped and prayed she would try to make a useful member as she had, for she was a Christian example. After spending the afternoon with her nieces and nephews she was taken to her sister-in-law's who was a widow lady......Deceased was laid to rest at Union Hill by the side of her first husband......Written in memory by her nieces, Mrs. W. E. Washburn and Mrs. C. L. Crow. Unfortunately, the name of the newspaper was not included, but it was probably Lexington, TN.

The only reference we have as to the death of Elizabeth is her husband's application for Pension of a Father, filed in 1881. In it, he and other witnesses, testify to the fact that Elizabeth died in 1867. Their younges daugher, Sarah, was thought to have been born around 1871, which would be impossible as her mother died in 1867 and I'm wondering if Elizabeth died in childbirth as she would have been 54 years old at that time.

by W.B. Flippin Pages 55-70The Tutt-Everett War One event in the history of Marion County of which no one is proud and, perhaps, one which most of us would prefer to be forgotten and go unmentioned is the Tutt and Everett War. However, it seems that it does have historical significance and for this reason, a brief resume of the event as written by W. B. Flippin in 1876 is perhaps the most authentic document on this matter and is reproduced hereafter:
"At that time there was about 300 voters in the county, till the year 1844 came the Presidential Election. A public speaking was announced, William F. Denton of Batesville in favor of Harrison and Jonas M. Tibbitts of Fayetteville for Van Buren. A large crowd was assembled at the village and after the speaking was over and most of the crowd was gone home (the speaking was at Tutts' house) a fight commenced between the Tutts and Everetts which was long after known as the "June fights of 1844". When the fight commenced, Denton and Tibbetts hid their guns which were in the house under the bed. Several rushed in to get them but not finding them went out and joined in the general melee. Fists and rocks were freely used. Old Sim Everett, like an uncaged lion, was laying flat all that came in reach of him when one of the Tutt party named Alfred Burns caught a weeding hoe and ran up behind Everett and struck him a powerful blow on the back of his head which felled him, and he lay for some time as if dead. Burns, thinking him dead, hastily made a retreat. All hands ceased fighting as they supposed Everett was killed. A bloody scene, blood was flowing freely from heads and noses where deep cuts were made by flying stone. Then came lawsuits for many years. Every court the lawyers had something to say of the "June fights of 1844". Both parties from this time forward generally went armed with large knives, pistols, guns, etc."

Notes for JASPER SMITH:
JASPER N. SMITHS TO CELEBRATE THEIR 60TH ANNIVERSARY TODAY--ca. 1949
Caption under photo: "Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Smith, who will observe their 60th wedding anniversary Thursday, pose with Mr. Smith's Civil War musket. The muzzle-loader, he says, is like th eone he hunted with as an Arkansas backwoodsman, when deer ran in herds and wilde turkeys were thick as blackbirds."
"There'll be great doin's at the Jasper N. Smith home Thursday when silver-haired "Dad" and "Mother" Smith celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary.
Many of the Smiths' six children, and 39 grandchildren and great grandchildren are expected to help celebrate the occasion.
"Dad" Smith, who's a sound 81 despite a severe leg injury, isn't too sure the modest home at Pine St. and Garnet Rd. can accommodate "the whole shebang," but he's eager to try.
"We may have to rent some land to do it," he observed with tiwnkling eyes, "but mother's going to fix dinner for the kids."
"Mother" Smith's 79 years rest lightly on her grey head as she bustles about the little house, doing her own housework and taking care of the Smith's washing and ironing.
The years have impaired her hearing somewhat, but Mrs. Smith responds quickly in kind when "dad" ribs her slyly.
"Yessir, young man," the octagenarioan husband winked, "there's no trick to a successful marriage. I just outfought her for 60 years."
Reared in the same neighborhood in the backwoods near Yellville (Marion County), Ark., the Smiths met at a country church meeting. "Courtin' was a walking job in those days," "Dad" Smith smiled. Church meetings, and 'play parties' at the neighbors were the main social functions."
"That was in 1889--snap, and drop the handkerchief, and candy-pulling were considered appropriate for parties." Proposing to his blushing sweetheart was no trick for Mr. Smith. "She kind of pushed it on me, anyway," he said. "She was going with another feller too, and I knew I was going to have to do something pretty quick. I'll tell you though, son, she didn't need much encouraging when I asked her."
All of which bothered Mrs. Smith not a bit. "Posh," she ejaculated as she dismissed the story witha wave of her hand.
Jasper was a miller's son (John W. Smith and Julia Ann Burnes) and Elizabeth(Gilley) was a farmer's daughter(George Ann Gilley). After their marriage in 1889, the couple farmed for nearly 10 years near Yellville, while the young husband also worked at railroad construction, mining and brick-making. "Dad" Smith tells of the first brick buildings that went up in Yellville--the courthouse, the church and the bank. Hardworking men were transforming the backwoods into a settled community, and Jasper helped make the bircks work the mines and build the railroads. He remembers with a sense of accomplishment the great obstacles overcome by the railroads he helped push through the difficult Ozark country. Modern construction tools were unknown in the 19th century West, and railroads were built with pick and shovel, and mule-drawn "slides." " We plowed up Civil War cannon balls and muskets south of Springfield, Mo.," he recalled. "In one 100-mile stretch of right-of-way we scratched three long tunnels through the Ozarks."
Smith came to Oklahoma first in 1879, as a boy of 9, helping his father farm near Fort Smith, in the Choctaw area of Indian Territory. He brought his wife and family to Bixby to live in 1917. Employed by several oil compaines the Smiths later lived at Bristow and Oklahoma City, before settling in the Garnet area about 20 years ago. (ca. 1927)
"Dad" Smith suffered severe fractures of his left arm and leg in an oil field accident 20 years ago. The old injuries have slowed him some as the year's advanced, but his mind is razor sharp and dry humor spices his conversation. "Folks aren't like they used to be. I don't think they read the Bible much. But you know, maybe the churches aren't the same, either."
All of the six Smith children live in the Tulsa area. The couple lives near the home of one son, O. D. Smith. Another son, John W. Smith, also lives on Tulsa Rt. 10 near "Dad" and "Mother." Their other son, A. M. Smith lives at 2617 Harvard Ave.
The Smiths' daughters are Mrs. Tom Hess, Bixby; Mrs. W. R. Jarvis, Rt. 3, and Mrs. E. M. Edwards, 1638 E. Admiral Pl.
John Smith brought tears of happiness to his parents eyes when he summed up "dad and mother's" 60 years of marriage:
"I guess we've got the grandest folks any kids ever had."
