Nathaniel Pope |
Nathaniel Pope is first mentioned as one of the twenty-four freeman of the "Grand Inquest" in Maryland in 1637 and in the Assembly afterward. He affixed a mark to his writings. In 1643 he and his nine menial servants were exempted from military service. He was sent as an agent by Governor Leonard Calvert to Kent Island in 1647, and attempted, as charged, to persuade the rebels against the Proprietary there to come and live at Mattox Neck until they should become strong enough to seize the land again. | ||||||||||||||
After removing from Maryland, Nathaniel Pope, in 1651,
patented 1,050 acres (4.2 km2) in Old Northumberland between two large
creeks; one would bear his name.
At Mattox Creek he built dwellings, warehouses, and docks for the merchant trade with England including the port of Bristol. He shipped beaver, tobacco with caske, and raw materials; and he imported English manufactured goods. He settled the argument between John Washington and shipping partner Edward Prescott by paying off the senior officer in Beaver skins at eight shillings per pound. In 1655 he was made Lieutenant-Colonel in the militia. The elder Nathaniel was among the county's wealthiest residents at his death in 1660 when he left The Clifts tract to his son Thomas.[8] The Pope and Washington families were bound by more than blood, county documents are filled with their business and legal ties. The will of John Washington bequeaths 1000 pounds sterling to his brother-in-law Thomas Pope. |
|||||||||||||||
Thomas Pope, a "planter of Westmoreland" and "merchant of Bristol," died in Bristol, leaving a wife, Joanna, and sons, Thomas, Richard, Charles, John, and Nathaniel. Later, Justice of Westmoreland, Lawrence Washington “refused to give his Judgmnt” on this estate (Will dated September 3, 1684) because he and his father John were trustees of “said Estate.” On February 28, 1710, Joanna Pope, of Bristol, authorized Thomas Wills, merchant, and Nathaniel Pope, mariner, to dispose of the plantation known as "the Clifts". The letter of attorney describes her son as "Nathanial Pope of Pope's Creek." This Nathaniel, appeared in the county's records for the first time in 1704 when he married the daughter of a Westmoreland Justice of the Peace, William Pierce. In 1716, Joanna and son Richard Pope sold the Clifts, including what was referred to in the deed as “the manner house erected on the second”; to Thomas Lee. Even as the Popes and Washingtons had circulated among the members of Westmoreland County's political gentry, Lee's family had made their name known throughout the colony of Virginia for two generations. In the year 1729, Lee lived at his father's plantation on Lower Machodoc Creek, when the dwelling burned down. After that he erected the brick mansion, now known as Stratford Hall, on the Clifts tract about a quarter mile from the original site. Thomas Lee became a member of the Governor's Council and served as acting governor of the colony in 1749[8] when William Gooch returned to England. Mary (Lisson) Pope, alias Bridges, gave a calf to her son Nathaniel Pope, alias Bridges, in 1675. As Mary Nicholas, widow of Lewis Nicholas, she made presents in 1677 to her son Nathaniel Pope, alias Bridges, and to her son Lewis Nicholas. She married again, Daniel Whitley, who promised to keep her children "so farre at school as to write and reade". Mary Nicholas refers to her brother and sister, Captain Daniel Sisson and Jane, his wife. The will of John Rosier (will, September-October,1705) leaves land to Nathaniel Pope, clerk of Stafford and practitioner at law; and the rest of the estate is given to his wife, Mary Rosier, who was Mary Pope, alias Bridges. |
Two Nathaniel Popes were in the same area around the year 1700, both grandsons of the original patentee. Nathaniel alias Bridges (through the early death of Nathaniel II) was an established Westmoreland attorney in 1705, guardian of Nathaniel Washington in 1708, while the mariner Nathaniel was first recorded as married in 1704. They are further connected when Nathaniel alias Bridges’ son John married his cousin Elizabeth (Pierce) Pope, daughter of the mariner/merchant Nathaniel, making the identification by alias significant. This identifies the Pope family artifact unearthed at George Washington’s birthplace, a wine bottle seal marked "N. Pope 1715," as belonging to Nathaniel alias Bridges. Jane Brooks (Higdon) Brown was the sister of Lydia Abbington.[14] Her daughter Jane married Nathaniel Pope alias Bridges about 1690.[13] The son of Nathaniel and Jane (Brown) Pope is listed as John Pope, “Planter” in 1728 when Augustine Washington purchased his mill “for 60 Pounds current Virginia money two acres with the appurtenances together with the mill thereon erected & built scituate [several miles upstream] at the head of Popes Creek.” Augustine added to the property the road called "Lord’s rolling road," the descriptive terminology derived from rolling hogsheads of tobacco down to the Potomac, The mill would remain in the Washington family until after the Civil War.[ |

Slavery at Popes Creek Plantation
Arrival of the First Africans in Virginia In 1619, a Dutch frigate docked at Point Comfort, Virginia. In exchange for provisions, the captain traded about twenty Africans. Initially these immigrants were indentured servants. However, within a matter of years, succeeding Africans were enslaved. African slavery was soon established throughout the British colonies in America. In the decades that followed, more and more Africans arrived in Virginia. By the time of George Washington’s birth, more than fifty percent of Virginia’s population was black. New World Slavery
Dutch and Portuguese ships bought enslaved Africans, who had been taken prisoners of war between African tribes, to the New World. The Africans arriving in the English colonies were not the first slaves in this hemisphere. South and Central Americans enslaved one another. The Spanish in the West Indies enslaved Native Americans and Africans for labor. European indentured servants came to Virginia in unlimited numbers. They, however, were freed from their bondage after working for a number of years to pay off their passage to the New World. Enslaving Africans solved Virginia’s labor shortage. Unlike indentured servants, Africans had little hope of attaining freedom. |

Tobacco – A Way of Life
Popes Creek Plantation was one of many along the Chesapeake Bay region’s “Tobacco Coast.” Tobacco brought Virginia, Maryland and Britain great wealth. Tobacco was in high demand, stored easily, and served as currency, a bartering tool, and the primary colonial export. Tobacco was an extremely labor intensive crop, requiring one able-bodied man to tend every acre cultivated. Tobacco was prone to a variety of pests and diseases, and it rapidly depleted the soil of nutrients. Tobacco cultivation was a four-season operation. Fields had to be cleared and tilled, and seeds had to be planted late in the winter in cold frames. Once the tiny plants were transplanted to the fields, they required constant care. Slaves weeded, wormed, and suckered the plants. The tobacco was harvested and then hung on sticks in tobacco houses to cure. Afterwards, it was packed into huge hogshead barrels for shipping. Popes Creek Plantation
This inventory reveals names, sex, age, and estimated value of each slave. Familial relationships were rarely noted. Twenty or so slaves worked the fields and household of the Washington’s Popes Creek tobacco farm during the early years of George Washington’s life. Annually, Augustine Washington’s slaves raised ten to fifteen acres of tobacco. Crafts and Skills
Some slaves learned to make and repair shoes, furniture, and dishes. Among house servants were cooks, grooms, laundresses, seamstresses, and housemaids. On small plantations like Popes Creek, buying goods and services from traveling tradesmen or ships was preferable to assigning workers tasks unrelated to producing the cash crop (tobacco) or keeping food on the table.

The long list of Pope descendents who went into US
politics
Nathaniel Pope was engaged in the export of tobacco and raw materials and paid the passage to the colony of Virginia for countless people later indentured to him. Nathaniel Pope had a brother, Thomas, who also immigrated to the Westmoreland County area, purchased land that was surveyed by John Quisenberry and whose daughter, Anna Pope, married the latter. http://kyusa.addr.com/Quesenberry/ Apparently Thomas Pope also had a son, Humphrey, as the above source

WASHINGTON AND HIS NEIGHBORS.
BY THE EDITOR.
Until 1630 the settlements of the English in Virginia were
confined to
the Accomac Peninsula and the valley of the James. In 1630 the
first
settlements were planted on the south side of the York River at Chiskiack
and York. Nearly about the same time, William Claiborne made
a settle-
ment in Kent Island, at the head of Chesapeake Bay. The quarrel
with
Lord Baltimore caused many of the English settlers at Kent Island to
plant
on the neck between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers and Chickacoan,
which became a point d'appuri for Claiborne and his friends.
In November,
1645, the inhabitants of Chickacoan, or Northumberland county, as it
was
called in 1648, were represented in the House of Burgesses by Col.
John
Mottrom. The war with the Indians, which broke out the year before,
temporarily depressed the colonization of this section of the colony,
and
the treaty of peace in 1646 prohibited, till further order, all emigration
to the north side of Charles (York) and Rappahannock Rivers. But this
restriction was repealed in 1648, and immigrants in large numbers poured
in from England, from Maryland, from New England, and old settled portions
of Virginia. In 1651 Gloucester county was formed out of territory
be-
tween the York and Pianketank Rivers, and the same year the country
be-
tween Pianketank and Dividing Creek was erected into the county of
Lan-
caster. Thus, in that year York, Gloucester, Lancaster and Northumberland
rose one above another on the water's front, with indefinite western
frontiers.
A study of the records of these counties affords some very
interesting
results.
The settlers were of the merchant class, and the sea being
to them, in-
stead of a separation, a connecting bridge between England and Virginia,
the plantations were mere suburbs of London and Bristol, the great
colon-
izing centres.
In England at this time the trades were in high repute. The
Page 29.
younger sons of the English gentry resorted to the cities and became
tailors, grocers, coopers, weavers, &c. There could be no
caste in Eng-
land, since the proudest noble found himself compelled to treat with
re-
spect the class into which his younger sons were for a livelihood forced
to enter. These merchants, while not calling themselves "gentlemen",
still clung to the coat-of-arms which descended from the gentlemanly
ancestors. The possession of land restored the old title of gentleman,
and land was easy to get in Virginia.
There was another distinction. The term servant was
also in repute,
or, if not in repute, was not so offensive as to prevent the temporary
assumption of that condition by many of the settlers for the benefit
of
protection from some more wealthy colonizer. "Servant", too,
was a very
general term, and was applied to all apprentices, secretaries, and
factors.
A man often called his brother or nephew his servant. The ward
was said
to be freed from his guardianship, and during his non-age the ward
was a
servant. William Branthwait, a kinsman of Lord Baltimore, and
Deputy-
Governor of Maryland, married Eleanor Stevenson, a runaway servant
girl
of Sir Edmund Plowden(1). All the early colonists of Virginia
were
servants of the London Company, and "constrayned to serve, as if they
had
been slaves, seven or eight years for their freedom", though "many
of
them were of Auneyent Howses and borne to estates of 1000 lbs. [in
present
money $25,000] by the year."
Massachusetts offered a reward of L5 for every servant
imported, and
the Rev. John White, the friend of Governor Winthrop, wrote in 1632
that
"the very scum of the earth was sent to New England"(2). Surely,
the
word servant had a wide meaning. It was the contradiction of
the times
to regard a servant as "scum", and yet to use the word without any
other
meaning than as employee; and men of the best quality freely entered
into
indentures of temporary servitude.
Again, the published records of New England, Pennsylvania,
Maryland,
Virginia, etc., show that ignorance of letters was by no means confined
to the lowly. Two of William Penn's councillors could not write.
The
records of Suffolk county, Mass., in which Boston is situated, are
full
of marks for signatures.
The western part of Northumberland county was made into
Westmoreland
county in 1653, which was declared to run from Machotick River, "where
Mr. Cole lives, and so upwards to the
Page 30.
falls of the great river of Potomac, above the Necostins town" (the
present site of Washington), comprising the present counties of Westmore-
land, Stafford, and Fairfax.
The Mr. Cole mentioned in the act from the Maryland records
seems to
have come in as a "servant" to Father Andrew White about 1634, but
had
high notions of his importance. His house on the Potomac was
called
"Salisbury Park", and he had stores of merchandise and many servants.
In
1665 he is reported as saying in the presence of several gentlemen
that
"Sir William Berkley durst not show his face in England", that if the
said Cole were in England he had better credit than his "Honor", that
"He Expected his Brother to come in Governor who should kick his Honour
from his place, And he should be a Councelor at Least, And then he
would
Act knavery by Authority"; that "he had formerly a better man (than
Berkeley) for his pimpe, for a knight of Malta was his pimpe", etc.
As
to his neighbors, "Hardwich and Hutt were rogues", and Washington "an
ass-negroe-driver", whom he would have up before the governor and council,
"as a Companie of Caterpillar fellowes" who "live upon my bills of
ex-
port". When Richard Cole died in 1674, he required that his body
be
buried upon his plantation in a neat coffin of black walnut, and over
it
a gravestone of black marble to be sent for out of England "with my
coate
Armour engraven in brasse & under it this Epitaph:
Heere lies Dick Cole a grevious Sinner,
That died a Little before Dinner,
Yet hopes in Heaven to find a place,
To Satiate his soul wth Grace".(3)
At the same place resided also about the same period "Col.
Richard
Lee(4) late of Stratford Langton in ye County of Essex in ye Kingdom
of
England, Esq.,"(5) and his eldest son Dr. John Lee, the former the
ancestor of the patriot Robert E. Lee; Isaac Allerton(6), late of New
England, Henry Corbin, son of Thomas Corbin, Esq., of Hall End, in
War-
wickshire, and brother of Gawin Corbin, "citizen and leather seller"
of
London, and Dr. Thomas Gerrard(7), who had been a councillor in Maryland
and banished from there for taking part in the rebellion of Josias
Fendall.
The character of the society at Machodic was, as stated,
truly suburban.
In 1659, when Samuel Mathews was governor, John Gibbon was a visitor
in
the house of Richard Lee(8). In this remote province his love
or passion
for heraldry found a signular gratification at a war dance of the native
Indians, their shields of bark and
naked bodies being painted with the colors and symbols of his favorite
science. Upon his return to England, Gibbon was made, in 1670,
"Blue
Mantle Pursuivant of Arms in the Heralds' College." In his work
styled,
Introductio ad Latnian Blasoniam, he describes Lee as descended from
the
Lees of Shropshire, and his coat-of-arms as "Gul. a fess, chequy or,
BI
between 8 billets arg." I find Gibbon's book in the published
list of
the books of Col. Richard Lee, the second of the name(9).
The Englishmen on the banks of the Potomac mingled elegant
pleasures
with rude labors and perilous enterprises. There is a record
of a contract
in 1670 between John Lee, son of Col. Richard Lee, then deceased, Henry
Corbin, Isaac Allerton, and Dr. Thomas Gerrard, for building a banqueting
house at or near their respective lands(10). The English colonist
acted
as far as the circumstances would permit, precisely as he would in
London.
It was a rare thing if the richer settlers did not visit the mother
country
once during each year. Very different was this from the experience
of
the western trappers, of whom Daniel Boone was the pioneer, and who
were
truly isolated among the savages by the vast plains and mountain barriers.
Some miles above Machodic, at Nomini Creek, resided Walter
Brodhurst,
who came to Virginia from Maryland about the same time as Dr. Gerrard,
and was the son of William Brodhurst, Esq., of Lilleshall, Shropshire
county, England; Edmund Brent, a kinsman of Col. Giles Brent, formerly
Governor of Maryland, and afterwards of Stafford county(11); Nicholas
Spencer, formerly of Cople, in Bedfordshire, and afterwards President
of
the Virginia council; Valentine Peyton(12), son of Henry
Peyton, Esq., of
Lincoln's Inn, Middlesex county, Eng., Major John Hallowes(18), or
Hollis,
formerly a carpenter and servant of Capt. Thomas Cornwallis, afterwards
justice, colonel, burgess, etc.
Above Nomini resided at Appomattox Creek (not Mattox) Col.
John Washington, his father-in-law, Col. Nathaniel Pope, William Butler,
the minister,
and Andrew Monroe, who lived in Maryland, in 1643(14).
Still further up the river, beyond Nomini, were Samuel
Hayward(15),
living at Chotank, in what is now Stafford county, and Col. Giles Brent(16)
and his famous sister, Margaret Brent, at "Peace" on Acquia Creek.
Other
settlers were Capt. John Ashton(17), Capt. John Lord, brother of Richard
Lord, of Hartford, New England; Capt. William Hardwich, a tailor from
Maryland, brother-in-law
Page 32.
of Mrs. Washington; Thomas Sturman(18), of Maryland; Daniel Hutt, formerly
of London; John Rosier(19), minister; Anthony Bridges, Capt. George
Mason
(born in 1629), John Hillier, Capt. Thomas Ewell(20), Col. Gerrard
Fowke(21), Col. Thomas Speke(22), Capt. William Pierce(23), Capt, John
Appleton(24), Col. Thomas Blagg, Capt. Alexander Bainham, Col. John
Dodman(25). Lewis Markham(26), Clement Spelman(27), William Browne
(28),
of Plymouth, Daniel Lisson(29),
Robert Vaulx(30), and Capt. Thomas and
William Baldridge(31).
Of all these early immigrants, Col. John Washington, ancestor
of the
President, naturally attracts the most attention. The records
of West-
moreland afford some conclusive evidence regarding him(32).
Time of Arrival. - According to the deposition of William
Meares, aged
thirty-two, Washington arrived in Virginia in 1656, in the capacity
of
"second man" or mate to Edward Prescott, a merchant. Mr. Stanrd
errs in
giving an earlier settlement. The commission to which he refers
does not
contain the name of Washington, as he supposes. This I know from
careful
personal examination. But here it is:
"4th April, 1655. Comrs for ye County of Westmoreland,
Mr. Thomas Speke,
Mr. John Dodman,
Mr. Nathaniel Pope,
Mr. Gerrard ffowke,
Mr. John Hallowes,
Mr. James Baldridge,
Mr. Walter Brodhurst,
Mr. Alex Bainham,
Mr. John Hillier,
Lieut. Tho. Blagg.
"These appointed by ye Governr & councell
to be of ye Militia for ye
said County of Westmoreland Colonel Thomas Speke, Lieut
Col. Nath:
Pope, Major John Hallowes, Capt Tho Blagg, Capt Alex Bainham.
"Vera copia Sack Brewer(33) 20 July 1655 this
order was Recorded."
The first letter of Major John Hollowes's name is written
something like
a "w", and probabaly it was this similarity that led Mr. Stanard into
error.
Age of Col. John Washington. - Mr. Stanard states(34) his
age to be
forty-five in 1674, but perhaps this cannot be positively affirmed,
The
will of Richard Cole was proved June 24, 1674, and the affidavit of
Col.
Washington has reference to this will:
"Deposition of Coll. John Washington, aged 45 years or
thereabouts,
Declareth that hee hath heard Mr. Richd Cole Deceased declare that
hee had
made a will, and give his whole estate to younge Mr. Nicholas Spencer
and
further saith not. John Washington."
Page 33.
This paper is without date, but as the paper before it
is dated 5 Jany,
1675-6, I am inclined to think that the deposition was made about that
time. It is true that immediately following the Washington entry
is one
dated 12 February, 1674 (5), but the record, of course, could not be
earlier than the date of the paper preceding.
So Col. Washington was forty-five in 1676. He died
two years later.
The assumed age harmonizes with Mr. Water's deductions, that John Washing-
ton was the older son of his father, Rev. Lawrence Washington.
He was
born about 1631, and his brother Lawrence about 1635, leaving a sufficient
interval for the births of his sisters, Margaret and Martha Washington.
The Arrival of Lawrence Washington. - W. H. Whitmore asks(35):
"Is
there any evidence that Lawrence Washington was here before 1667?"
the
date of his land-grant. There is. It is not always kept
in mind that a
settlement in Virginia was not a severance from England. It is
altoghther
probable that Lawrence Washington, as the family tradition affirms,
did
come with his brother John in 1656. He was a merchant, and most
merchants
had storehouses in both England and Virginia. Now, as a witness
to the
will of Colonel Nathaniel Pope, May 16, 1659, he must have been
in Virginia
that year. Then, as marrying Mary Jones at Luton, County Bedford,
he must
have returned to England before January 26, 1660-'61. Indeed,
there is on
record in Westmoreland a power of attorney from Gabriel Reve, of London,
merchant, to "Lawrence Washington, of Luton, in County Bedford, merchant"
to demand of the heirs, executors, or administrators of Colonel
Nathaniel
Pope, late merchant of Virginia, deceased, all debts due from
Pope to
Reve; which power of attorney is dated October 31, 1660, and was recorded
February 4, 1661-'62, at the time of the recordation of this paper;
and he
probably brought his wife with him.
Marriages of John Washington. - The will of Col. John Washington,
the
immigrant, speaks of a second wife; but it has been supposed that this
wife (name unknown) preceded the marriage to Anne Pope. I am
satisfied
that the first wife of Colonel Washington was Anne Pope, and that the
second wife was Anne, widow of Walter Brodhurst. But more than
that, he
had a third wife, whose existence has never been dreamed of - a widow,
Frances, daughter of Colonel Valentine Peyton. Now for the proof:
From
the records it appears that Walter Brodhurst died between January 26
and
February 12, 1659 - respectively the dates of making and of proving
his
will - and that Anne Pope was certainly the wife of Washington previous
to May 11, 1659, when she received a gift from her father, Colonel
Nathaniel Pope, under the name of Anne Pope, alias Washington."
But
that she was not Walter Brodhurst's widow is shown by the record of
a
suit, September 20, 1659, in which this lady appears as "Anne, the
relict
and widow of Walter Brodhurst". Ten days later Washington wrote
to the
Governor of Maryland that "all the company and gossips were invited
to
see his young son baptized", which could not have been more than eight
months after the death of Walter Brodhurst. The son was baptized
during
the marriage with Anne Pope; and it must be remembered that
when Washing-
ton came to Virginia in 1656, aged about twenty-five years, he stayed
at the house of Colonel Nathaniel Pope, where, probably
his affections
ripened for her, and a marriage shortly afterwards ensued.
But in 1670 appears this entry under a statement of accounts:
"Wee whose names are here underneath subscribed according
to order of
Westmrland Court bearing dat the 28th of Septembr 1670, having pused
the
Genll & Pticular Accounts Exhibited unto us by Lt Coll John Washington
who married Ann the relict of Mr Henry Brett late of y County Deced,
wee hav Examined y whole Inventory & Debts of y said Henry Brett
And we
Doe finde that Mrs Ann Brett Washington hath paid beyond Assets the
sum
of sixteen thousand three hundred & twentie five pounds of tobacco
&
caske," etc., "as witness our hands this 3d of 9br 1670. John
Ashton,
William Horton. 9th of 9ber 1670. This Report with ye account
Annexed
to it was Recorded."
In another place, under date of 31 May, 1671, Mr. Samuel
Brett, of
Plymouth, merchant, empowers certain persons to execute a discharge
to
"Lt Coll. Washington who intermarried with Mrs. Anne Brett ye Relict
&
administratrix of Henry Brett of Plimouth merchant deceased."
An inspection of the will of Col. Washington, as published
in the New
England Historical and Genealogical Register, dated 21 Sept., 1675,
and
proved 10 Jan., 1677, clearly shows that the wife Anne therein mentioned
was not the mother of the three children, Lawrence, John and Anne,
but
that the dead wife mentioned was. Now who was the Anne Washington
of
the will? No other than Anne, the widow of Walter Brodhurst,
that in
the interval since his death had picked up Mr. Henry Brett, who, like
most of the leading Virginia merchants, had business in both countries.
This is shown by a letter of Col. Chester to R. A. Brock, which contains
a copy of an old document in the Diocesan registry at Litchfield,
dated 12 April, 1678, evidencing that Walter Brodhurst, her son, was
granted administration of "the goods of Anne Washington, alias Brodhurst,
late of Washington parish in ye Countie of Westmrland in ye Country
of
Virginia".
Now in Westmoreland there is recorded a marriage contract
betwen Col.
John Washington and Frances Appleton, widow of Capt. John Appleton
(nee
Frances Gerrard), dated 10 May, 1676, and of course Mrs. Anne Washington,
the second, must have died previous to that date.
The will of Henry Brett was probably recorded in England,
and its
discovery migiht lead to some further facts.
In the letter to Mr. Brock, kindly furnished me, Col. Chester
states
that "one of his maxims is that there is nothing impossible in geneaolgy".
And the narrative above seems to point that way. What right had
John
Washington, the ancestor of the Father of his Country, to worry the
genealogist in the manner he has done? marry two Annes and then
sur-
reptitiously, as it were, slip in a third wife between the date and
proof of his will?
LANIER-BALL-WASHINGTON tradition. QUARTERLY, III,
71, 137. It ap-
pears that Mr. Thomas M. Clemans, now deceased, communicated in 1890
to
the New England Historical and Genealogical Register (Vol. 44, p. 307)
a satisfactory answer to the inquiries of Mr. Hayden: "In the
records
of Surry county, Virginia, we find that John Washington was betrothed
in 1658 to Mary Flood, widow, whom he afterwards married. She
had
previously married a Mr. Blunt, and after Mr. Washington's death she
married Charles Ford, so she must have been a very attractive woman.
By
Mrs. Flood he had one child, Richard Washington, who sold land in 1678
and died in 1725. He married Elizabeth Jordan, who died in 1755.
She
was the daughter of Arthur Jordan, who died in 1698. The children
of
the marriage were George, Richard, John, William, Thomas (died in 1749),
Jane, Arthur, Elizabeth (married Samson and Robert Lanier), Priscilla,
Faith, and Mary. The estate of Mr. Washington was about three
miles
below the present town of Claremont, and about nine miles above James-
town". I have an abstract of the will of Mrs. Elizabeth Washington
proved in 1738. It mentions children, George, Thomas, Richard,
John,
William, James, Arthur, Elizabeth Lanier, Faith Barker, Mary Hart.
All
of which shows that the tradition of the connection of the poet Sidney
Lanier with the family of President Washington had no foundation in
fact,
and that, as Mr. Conway suggests, "the stories of Thomas
Lanier's marriage to Elizabeth, an imaginary daughter of Col. John
Washington, and Lewis Lanier's marriage to Miss Ball, an imaginary
sis-
ter of Mary Washington, are variants of one myth."
The Gerrard Family. - Among the neighbors of the Washingtons
none
were more conspicuous than Dr. Thomas Gerrard. His first wife,
Susanna,
was the daughter of Justinian Snow, one of the founders of Maryland
and
Lord Baltimore's factor in the Indian trade. Abel Snow, a clerk
in the
chancery office, London, and Marmaduke Snow, were two other brothers(34).
Dr. Gerrard was for a long time councillor, but was finally banished
from Maryland for taking part in the insurrection of Josias Fendall
in
1659(35). Before this he had provided a refuge in Virginia, having
obtained on October 18, 1650, a patent for land, and naming among the
headrights his wife Susanna Gerrard, and his children Susanna, Tem-
perance, Frances, Justinian, and John Gerrard. The same day Walter
Brodhurst patented land next to William Hardwick, on the west side
of
"Poor Jack" Creek. As Walter Brodhurst had a son Gerrard, it
raises the
suspicion that his wife, Anna, who afterwards married Col. Washington,
was perhaps a daughter of Col. Thomas Gerrard, as well as Washington's
third wife, Frances.
Dr. Gerrard's wife, Susanna, died before 1672-'73, whereupon
he
married Rose, the widow of John Tucker, whose children were John, Ger-
rard, Sarah (married William Fitzhugh) and Rose, to which children
Ger-
rard (then married to his second wife) made a gift. John Tucker's
will
was dated 5 May, 1671, proved 31 May, 1671. His two daughters
were
then under seventeen and unmarried. Dr. Gerrard had five daughters
and
three sons: 1, Susanna (?) Gerrard married Robert Slye, Esq.,
of the
Maryland Council; 2, Temperance Gerrard, married in 1666, 1st Daniel
Hutt(37), formerly merchant of London, who (will, 3 March, 1673-24
June,
1674) had Gerrard Hutt and Anne. She married secondly about August,
1675, John Crabbe; 3, Frances Gerrard married first Col. Thomas Speke
(he died in 1659); married second Col. Valentine Peyton and had Gerrard
Peyton, who died s.p. in 1687; third, Capt. John Appleton(38), who
died
between February 25, and April 12, 1676. May 10 she entered into
a
marriage contract with Col. John Washington. 4, Mary; 5, Anne
Brodhurst
(?); 6, Justinian, called of "Brumley in Maryland", who married Sarah,
widow of Wilkes Maunders; 7, John, who married
Page 37.
Elizabeth, and had John. Elizabeth married secondly James Johnson,
of
Westmoreland, before July 27, 1678. The widow Rose, relict of
Dr.
Thomas Gerrard, married secondly John Newton, who came from Maryland,
and was the ancestor of the Newton family of Westmoreland.
The Pope Family. - Nathaniel Pope appears as one
of the twenty-four
freeman of the "grand Inquest" in Maryland in 1637. He affixed
a mark
to his writings. In 1643 he and his nine menial servants were
exempted
from all military service. Sent as agent to Kent Island in 1647,
he
attempted, as charged, to persuade the people there to come and live
at
Appomattox until they should become strong enough to seize the country
again. In 1656 he was made Lieutenant-Colonel. He married
Luce -----,
and had: 1, Anne, who married John Washington; 2, Margaret, who married
William Hardwich; 3, Thomas; 4, Nathaniel.
Thomas Pope moved to the city of Bristol, where
he died, leaving a
wife, Joanna, and sons, Thomas, Richard, Charles, John, and Nathaniel.
(Will dated September 3, 1684; proved October 20, 1685. New Eng.
Hist.
and Geneal. Reg., Vol. XLIII., p. 417.) On February 28, 1710,
Joanna
Pope, of Bristol, authorized Thomas Wills, merchant, and Nathaniel
Pope,
of Pope's Creek in Virginia, mariner, to dispose of the plantation
com-
monly called "the Clifts". (Essex County Records).
Mary Sissons Pope, alias Bridges, gave a calf to her son
Nathaniel
Pope,
alias Bridges, in 1675. As Mary Nicholas, widow of Lewis Nicholas,
she
made presents in 1677 to her son Nathaniel Pope, alias Bridges, and
to
her son Lewis Nicholas. She married, 4thly, Daniel Whitley or
Wickcliffe, who pro-
mised to keep her children "so farre at school as to write and reade".
Mary Nicholas refers to her brother and sister, Captain
Daniel Lisson
and Jane, his wife. The will of John Rosier (will, September-October,
1705) leaves land to Nathaniel Pope, clerk of Stafford and practitioner
at law; and the rest of the estate is given to his wife, Mary Rosier,
who was Mary Pope, alias Bridges. Was she the widow of Nathaniel
Pope,
son of Colonel Nathaniel Pope?
Lieutenant-Colonel Pope, on October 20, 1657, gave cattle
to his son
Nathaniel and his daughter Margaret Pope. In 1669 Thomas Pope
took an
inventory of the estate of his sister, Margaret Hardwich. An
affection-
ate letter to Mrs. Harwich, written May 8, 1669, by Thomas Patten,
of
Bristol, is given further on.
The Lee Family. - Richard Lee settled in York county about
Page 38.
1642, in which year he obtained a patent for land. Before the
massacre
in 1644 he lived at Tindall's Creek, on the Gloucester side.
May 25,
1646, "William Whitby, gentleman", sold Lee 100 acres at the same place,
part of a larger dividend purchased by George Ludlow and William Whitby
of Argall Yeardly, Esq. On January 29, 1644-'45, Henry Lee and
Richard
Lee, planters, both of the county of York, acknowledged themselves
in-
debted to Mrs. Sibella Felgate, widow of Captain Rober Felgate, gentle-
man, deceased, in the sum of 20,000 weight of "good and merchantable
tobacco" for saving harmless the said Mrs. Felgate, who had given to
Henry Lee nine head of cattle "belonging to John Adkins, and formerly
in the custody of Captain Robert Felgate, as having married the mother
of the said John Adkins, who is the brother of Marah, the wife of the
above-bounden Henry Lee."
Richard Lee and Henry Lee were both justices in 1647.
Richard was a
burgess in 1647, and Henry was a burgess in 1652.
Richard Lee moved to Westmoreland, and was a member of
the Council
betfore 1663. He married Anne ------, and was dead before 16?1,
leaving:
John, Richard, Francis, William, Hancock, Betsy, Anne (who married
Captain Ewell), and Charles. (See The Lees of Virginia, 1642-1892).
1. DR. HENRY LEE (died in 1657), of York county,
obtained a certifi-
cate from the court for 250 acres of land for transporting five persons
into the Colony: John Lee, Henry Lee, Eliz. Blashfield, Anne
Russell,
and Thomas Johnson. He married Marah Adkins and had: 2, Henry;
3, Mary;
4, Sarah. 2. DR. HENRY LEE (born 1645, died 1693/4) married
Alice,
only daughter and heiress of William Davis. She married, 2dly,

Ashton in 1670. Was Grace, wife of John Ashton, a kinswoman of
Meese?
After Ashton's death, James Kay married the widow Grace. Charles
Ashton,

At the time Charles Ashton (first named) was justice of Northumberland,
Peter Ashton, perhaps a kinsman, was justice and burgess of the same

had
confederated to deprive her of 6,000 acres (called "Vaulxland"), patented
by her father-in-law June 9, 1655, and on which "her husband had long
lived." Her son was Robert Vaulx (will recorded December, 1721),

31. The Baldridge family was prominent from an early date
in Maryland.

The following, from the Westmoreland county Records, may be worth adding:
Granddaughter of Mrs. Dorothy Baldridge, widow, was wife of Capt. Alex-
ander Bainham, deceased in 1662, leaving a daughter Anne. William
Bald-
ridge's will (24 in 1655) was proved in 1658, and mentions son Charles
