3101	Richard Lundy I immigrated from Bristol, England on a ship captained by Mr. William Browne in August of 1676 landing in Boston, England. He lived in Boston until May 19, 1682, when he sailed down the Delaware River and settled in Bucks Consylvania As of 1688, he owned 1000 acres of land in Buckingham township "confirmed" on him by William Penn. He married twice. His first wife, Elizabeth Bennet, died just three years after their marriage without having born Richard any children that can be verified. There is a slight chance that a John Lundy listed in the area could have been a son by this marriage. His second wife, Jane Lyon, was a 16 year old orphan when she came over with the James Harrison and Phineas Pemberton families of Bolton, Lancaster Co., England in 1682 on the ship, SUBMISSION. This ship sailed on the 5th of the 7th month, 1682 and arrived in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland on the 21st of the 9th month, 1682. Due to a homestead law of this colony, she was given 50 acres of land which her husband later applied for on Mar. 18, 1717-1718. Although Richard owned extensive property in Buckingham Twp., it appears that he lived in Falls Township from 1693-1701, due to the many references to him in the Falls Monthly Meeting Records during that period. The last reference to him in Quaker records reveals much. He presented a certificate of membership to the Exeter Monthly Meeting in Berks Co., PA on Nov. 24, 1737. His wife, not being mentioned, had probably passed away. He likely died within a year at Berks Co., PA as he did not witness the marriage of his grandson in 1739 in Berks Co., Pennsylvania. (C-256,C-257) According to a cousin DNA match at ancestry known as Terri S. Hayden, Richard was born on 4 Dec 1654, Axminster, Devon, England instead. He is still listed as a son of Sylvester with this alternate birthdate.	LUNDY, Richard I (I15966)
3102	Richard Sperry came to New Haven in 1643. He and his son, Richard are listed as proprietors in New Haven in 1685. (F-68d&e) This info differs slightly from an excerpt in "The Ancestry and the Descendants of Abel Sperry", by L., printed in 1912 as provided by Anna Mae: "1. Richard Sperry, said to be of Welsh ancestry, was in New Haven, CT in 1640. Wife's name was Dennis ____? He was a freeman in 1644. He had lived on the west side of the rock, one mile from the cave where Goffe and Whaley, the regicides, enjoyed their hiding, and he had supplied them with food. His place was known as Sperry's Farms. (See Savage.) SOME OF THEIR CHILDREN: 1. Ebenezer, * 11. Daniel, 111. Esther, b.

3103	Richard Turner bought land in 1697 in Talbot Co., Maryland.	TURNER, Richard (I17267)
3104	Richard was a Justice of the Common Please for the Queen at Westminster. In his will, he requested that he be buried in the church of Writtle in Essex where his "well-beloved wife", Margaret, was already buried. He wanted a monument witr arms joined together. He was however, apparently remarried as he instructed that his daughters be brought up and educated by his wife, Elizabeth. His sone Jerome received the residue of his manors and lands and was his executor. His daughters, Wynefriede and Margaret, were under age 18, and his son Nicholas was under age 21. (F-533)	WESTON, Richard (I13443)
3105	Richard was a signer of the "Declaration of Indepedence" from the New Jersey delegates. His biography is provided as follows at http://www.virginiadeclarationofrights.com/theDeclarationofIndependence.org/RichardStockton.net/: "Richard Sn was born October 1, 1730 near Princeton, New Jersey. His family was ancient and respectable. His great grandfather, of the same name, came from England around 1670, and after residing a few years on Long Island, moved with a number of associates to an extensive tract of land, of which present day Princeton is nearly the center. This tract consisted of 6,400 acres. Richard Stockton was the eldest son of John, who had inherited the family estate "Morven" and was for years chief judge of the court of common pleas of Somerset county. His early education was highly respectable and he entered the college of New Jersey, graduating in 1748.After leaving college, he studied law with the honorable David Ogden, of Newark, who was at that time the head of the legal profession in the province. Stockton was admitted to the bar in 1754 and soon rose to great distinction, both as a counselor and an advocate. He avoided politics and rendered important service to the College, afterward known as Princeton, as a trustee. In 1766 and 1767, he gave up his practice for the purpose of visiting England, Scotland, and Ireland. While he was in Scotland, his personal efforts resulted in the acceptance of the presidency of the College by the Reverend John Witherspoon. Witherspoon's wife had opposed her husbands taking the position but her objections were overcome with the aid of Benjamin Rush, who was a medical student in Edinburgh. This was an exceedingly important event in the history of higher education in America. Stockton returned to America and the following year, 1768, he was made a member of the executive council of the province and in 1774 was promoted to the supreme bench of New Jersey. He struggled at first towards reconciliation between the colonies and Britain and in December 1774 he sent Lord Dartmouth a proposal for colonial self-government. However, he soon became active in efforts to organize opposition to the crown and on June 21, 1776, he was chosen by the provincial congress to be a member of the continental congress. Stockton married Annis Boudinot, a poet in her own right and sister of Elias Boudinot, who married Stockton's sister. The Stockton's had six children, their son Richard became an eminent lawyer and prominent Federalist leader, and his daughter Julia married Dr. Benjamin Rush, also a Signer of the Declaration of Independence. Although quiet during the opening debates for independence, by the close of the discussion he expressed his agreement in the final vote with a short but energetic speech. He was reelected to congress, where he was an active member and in September 1776, he became a candidate for governor of New Jersey under the state's new constitution. On the first ballot Stockton and William Livingston received an equal number of votes, but Livingston won by one vote on the next ballot. Stockton was then chosen chief justice of the state, but he declined in order to remain in congress. Stockton's political career was unhappily shortened by military developments in New Jersey. On September 26, 1776, he and George Clymer were appointed to a committee to inspect the northern army. On his return home, he found the British advancing and Stockton moved his family to Monmouth, to the home of John Covenhoven. Stockton was betrayed to the enemy and on November 30, both Stockton and Covenhoven were dragged from their beds at night and taken to the common prison in New York. Stockton was treated with unusual severity and brutality that seriously affected his health. His home was pillaged, his library, which was one of the best in the country, had been burned by the British, and his lands were laid to waste. Stockton's treatment in the New York prison prompted congress to pass a resolution directing George Washington to inquire into the circumstances and not long afterward, Stockton was exchanged. However, he never regained his health and his fortune was so greatly diminished by the devastation of his property, that he was forced to accept the temporary aid of his friends. The indignities and suffering left him a broken, humiliated man. He remained an invalid until he died at Morven on February 28, 1781."	STOCKTON, Richard (I1773)
3106	Richard was born about 1635 according to Montgomery. He came with his parents to Maryland around 1652-3. He was the oldest son and heir, but seemed rather quiet compared to his more aggressive brothers in court records. Richard is med in his father's will. He went to England after his father died and returned to Maryland on July 20, 1669 while importing sixteen persons. He filed claim for their headrights on that date. He deeded a gift of land, 300 acres of Planters Delight, to his brother George in 1670. He and his wife were childless when he died in his thirties. He left his lands to his brother George as he appeared to have the only male heir at that time. (C-637)	WELLS, Richard (I13026)
3107	Richard was offered a knighthood about 1616 which he refused. He "held land of the crown (or rather of the Earl of Chester) on his death". His heir was his grandson, Richard, who had just turned 12 years of age the previous October. Ther Richard had taken guardianship of his granson, Richard when his son Richard die. In 1616, an agreement was written that the younger Richard would marry a Baskerville daughter at age 21 in return for money and property. This, however, never occurred for reasons unknown. It would have meant a social step up for the elder Richard and does indicate that he was moving up in the world. (C-2272) n	YARWOOD, Richard (I10420)
3108	Richard was raised by his grandfather after his father died in 1617. His residence in Mobberly Parish is still labeled Yarwood House on the map. He appeared in the local records when his travel expenses were noted in his position ofg after sequestered lands in various local towns of the parson of Mobberley in the 1650's as requested by the Parliament. His home was one of a few where Quaker meetings were held. He was buried in Mobberley on Jun 1? 1663. (C-2272)	YARWOOD, Richard (I15767)
3109	Richard Wells could be the son of John and Elizabeth Elyott Wells of Saltash, England. Harry Wright Newman supports this theory because Richard's son, George, used a seal on his documents that was highly similar to the arms of the Wells of Saltash, County Cornwall, England. That Wells family settled in County Cornwall about 1530 from Lincolnshire. Their arms included a shield with a chevron with three birds and horse's head for the crest. This evidence suggests that the Wells in Saltash need to be studied closely. What we know for sure about Richard is that he was a staunch Puritan of wealth and influence at a period of history when the Puritans were in power. He and his wife were both the immigrant ancestors in this line. He immigrated from England to Virginia before Sep. 13, 1637. Richard was unmarried when he arrived and settled south of the James River in Virginia. (C-637) He received head rights in Charles City Co., Virginia and received fifty acres of land on the River between two creeks. He apparently had property back in England. He is sometimes confused with another Richard Wells also in Virginia. Our Dr. Richard Wells is apparently the Richard who was a Surgeon. He was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1645. He and his family probably moved to Maryland to seek religious freedom offered by Lord Baltimore in 1653. The fact that he was a liberal puritan provoked the move. He took with him all of his children but Martha who had not been born, plus his servants, Thomas Boone, Henry Symonds, George Hall, Thomas Linstead, Edward Howard and Martha Windright. The birth place of he and his wife's children was in Virginia. Only their daughter, Martha's, birth date and place is unknown. In Maryland, he was granted 600 acres on Herring Bay that he named "Wells". He built the Manor House they lived in throughout their days on that property. He was appointed a member of the Parliamentary Commission on July 22, 1654, a year after arriving in Maryland. He along with Capt. Fuller, Richard Preston, William Durand Edward Lloyd, Capt. John Smith, Leonard Strong, John Lawson, John Hotch, and Richard Ewen controlled Maryland's government from 1654-1658. Any four of them could act as long as one of them was Fuller, Preston or Durand. (C-603) He held multiple offices for the courts. He accumulated much wealth in the form of land and a sixteenth of a ship called "The Baltimore." In checking public record, one family researcher has found this Richard Wells and his sons to be ambitious, furious when thwarted, and unsympathetic to those who could not further their interests. (C-637) After his death in 1667, his son Richard returned to England where his father's will was probated at the Prerogative Ct. of Canterbury, (1668). He still owned land in England at that time. His estate was appraised on Dec. 5, 1667 by Capt. John Howell and Godfrey Bayley. In it, a "chirugeon chest" contained interest in the ship "Majesty". His total worth was L1,735/6/4 plus 57,145 pounds of tobacco, several servants, silver plate, L7/8/9 currency. His Majesty owed him several sums on top of that. His will was witnessed by Francis Stockett, Bonham Turner and Wm. Linckhorne. He named five sons and three daughters. He wished all things to be divided including things in Maryland (the plantation where he lived), Virginia and England. According to a book on the "Welsh Family" whom his grandson, Thomas Stockett through daughter Mary married into, Richard held the title of "Major" as well as Dr.	WELLS, Dr. Richard (I13015)
3110	Richard would be the son in the 1820 census from age 16 to 18, approximating his birth date from 1802-1804. (CL-335)	CLARK, Richard (I8223)
3111	Richard Wright is listed as a shipwright in his will which he wrote on Jan 9, 1748/9 and which was probated on Mar 8, 1748. In it, he names wife Mary, children, George, Mary, Lydia and Sarah and brothers in laws Warwick and Abrahm Coatsh Coats was one of his witnesses -- his possible sister-in-law. The transcription of it is as follows: WRIGHT, RICHARD JUNR. Kensington, Co. of Philadelphia. Shipwright. January 9, 1748/9. March 8, 1748. J.75. Wife: Mary. Children: George, Mary, Lydia and Sarah. Father: Richard Wright of Burlington. Brothers-in-Law: Warwick and Abram Coats. Exec: Mary Wright, Warwick and Abram Coats. Trustees: Richard Wright, John Coats, Thomas Penrose. Wit: John Coats, Junr., Sarah Coats, Roby. Greenway.	WRIGHT, Richard Jr. (I8604)
3112	Richard, Earl of Arundel and Warrene was called "Copped Hat". He was made Justicar of North Wales for life in 1334, Governor of Carnarvon Castle in 1339 and Sheriff of Shropshire for life in 1345. He had a leading honorable role in the wah France holding the position of Admiral of the West in 1340/41 and 1345/47. He commanded the second division in the battle of Crecy and was at the fall of Calais in 1347. He had two wives. His first marriage was annulled by papal decree after 24 years of marriage. This occurred in 1344 on the grounds of his minority and his having never consented to the match. He married Lady Eleanor in the same year. He died at age 70 as was buried at Lewes. (C-437, p.582-3)	FITZ ALAN II, Richard "Copped Hat" II (I12809)
3113	Richard, like his brother, Edward, died of a muscular disease and never married.	DUDICK, Richard James (I92)
3114	Robert and his wife had multiple sons whose names have been researched. They had at least 2 daughters. (CL-468) They emigrated from Ireland (likely through England) to Philadelphia about 1736 or 1737 as verified in court records in Orange Co., Virginia dated Jun 26, 1740 to verify their transportation. Robert, Agnes, John, Samuel and James were listed in this document. In Virginia, proof of transportation was required when buying land.

Robert purchased 400 acres of land on Jun 1, 1740 for 40 shillings in Orange County called Augusta on Buffalo Creek. No neighbors bordered this property. To keep the land he had to pay 1 shilling per year on the day of the feast of the Arch Angel Michael for 3 years and improve 3 acres out of every 50 acres of land within 3 years. If he could not keep these agreements the grantors had the right to sell the land to someone else. http://lva1.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/F/19RE57QF4S1HHSNL3TIUJ6RD8564B8IEBUPDS8IDKQ2ALQ3VGX-61016?func=full-set-set&set_number=006012&set_entry=000002&format=999" Robert is in a list of the earliest settlers of Beverley Manor where he purchased 373 acres on Jun 7, 1742. He had several land purchases in fact. Four hundred acres at the head of north branch of Buffalo Creek, bordering on Borden's land was purchased in 1747 from William McMachan, Gentleman of Fredrick Co. This appears to be the same land mentioned above that he got a patent for in 1740 and then finally purchased in 1747. He also purchased 550 acres from William Beverly, Esq. He is listed as receiving land that was part of his brother, John's land in this Chaukley Vol 3 record: Page 638.--27th February, 1749. to Robert Young, planter (farmer) part of John Young's land in Beverley Manor (234 acres) on Back Creek.

It should be noted that there were several Roberts and at least one other Robert Sr. in Augusta Co, VA at the same time as this Robert Sr. and some of the facts below could belong to them instead. The other Robert Sr. lived on the Forks off James River by 1755. According to Robert Frey he is the Robert who had two indentured servants, William Sanford and Margaret McGaffey. Margaret filed a complaint against her "white haired" master in the 1740's. If accurate, then he is the following Robert in Chalkley: "page 29 Robert Young, white haired, (April, 1745/6), Chancery suit vs. Borden". In that same record there is a 2nd Robert Young delineated who lived near the Courthouse. There is a third Robert listed who lived on the North Forks (which is the other Robert Sr. who moved with his family to Tennessee sometime after 1776. These were all from a list of Clerk records where clerks listed distinguishing characteristics of persons involved in the payment of fees.) He was a part of Richard Wood's Co. in the militia in 1745 and 1746. He was named Constable in that same time period. That meant that he would hear minor cases in business and conduct in the courts. He gained the position of "Captain, Troop of Horse" for the militia on Aug. 21, 1752. He and his sons and brother Hugh were part of a group of his neighbors that were to help build a road. "May, 1753. Road established from Brown's bridge to the Glebe land, and Robert Campbell and John Trimble be surveyors, and with James Lusk, pg. 443, they clear and keep the same in order.

Robert entered into a bond with Hugh Spier of Orange Co. in Aug., 1740, but something was amiss as Mr. Spier sued him over it in 1754 and 1756. On Mar. 18th, 1755, he divided his homestead at Beverley Manor between his sons. Chalkley V. 3: Page 497.--15th March, 1755.

According to Chalkley, John was involved with a lawsuit shortly thereafter. According to this MARCH, 1758 (B) Chaukley record. *April 28, 1756.--This day Mathew Edmoston, Constable, made oath before me, Patrick Martin, and, that by virtue of an execution, and , versus the estate of John Young, and, he seized the goods of said John Young and by violent force they were forceably taken and rescued from him by Robert Young, Sr., and his wife, Agnes. (Signed) Pat. Martin. This does not necessarily indicate that John had passed at that moment in time. Attorney Janice McAlpine theorizes that his son had given some of his personal estate to his father for safe keeping from a lawsuit he was involved in and that the sheriff was not able to get John's personal estate from Robert Young, Sr. to pay the debt that Patrick Martin believed he had. &lt/line&gt&ltline &gt&lt/line&gt&ltline&gtIn Chalkley he might have been the following Robert: Page 160.-- (1757?) Robert Young and James Davis, on north east side of Buffelow Creek and up the North River to the Mountain. This record in Chalkley likely applies to this Robert Young and his sons. Page 290.--1760: Processioned by _____ ? _____: For Robert Hamilton, ... for Robert Young, for James Young, for Samuel Young, for Hugh Young ... Processioned meant that the land was accounted for every 4 years in the Parish. He is likely the Robert who appeared in this 1760 Chaukley, V. 3 record: Page 749.--31st March, 1760. Robert Young to Wm. Todd, 400 acres on North Br. of Buffalo Creek, Benj. Borden's line. According to Chalkley, our Robert Sr. died in 1762. This is supported by Orphans court records. On May 20, 1762, Robert Young, age 18, son and orphan of Robert Young, chose (brother) James Young to be his guardian. The next day, James became his official guardian when he, brother Samuel and Joseph Hannett gave bond to the court. James also took guardianship of two other brothers, William and Hugh, on Aug 21, 1764. This time bond was given by James with 2 John Youngs, a Robert Young and John Kirkpatrick. Agness is listed as the late wife of Robert Young in a May 28, 1765 court case vs. John Brown for Writ of dower. In Oct 1769, she released her dower in order that her son James could sell some land. Agness died sometime after Jun 20, 1770 when the case against John Brown was dropped because of his death. (CL-468) According to Sharon Young Jebavy, she and five or six of her sons removed to Laurens Co., South Carolina after this last written record found about her on land she had bought in 1766. (CL-541)	YOUNG, Robert Sr. (I7702)
3115	Robert and Mary Willson had a daughter, Martha, b. Feb. 18, 1754 in Hardwick, Sussex Co, NJ who moved to Whitchurch Twp., York Co., Ontario with her husband Henry Widdifield. There are Willson descendants in Canada from this branch. (C-	WILLSON, Robert (I16029)
3116	Robert Bartlett came to the new land in 1623 on the ship "Ann." "The History of the Society of Descendants of Robert Bartlet of Plymouth, MA." states that Robert and his wife, Mary, were married in 1628 instead of the marriage date of 1634, I have placed in this record. A 1628 marriage date allows George Bartlett to be the son of these two people as is often stated in second hand sources. I do not have verification on either marriage date and personally do not believe the he is the son of Robert and Mary as he immigrated from England about 1640 - meaning that he would have been raised by someone else entirely in England until his arrival. (F-532, 579) Robert and Mary are known to have 2 sons and 8 daughters, with his sons being listed here. (F-579)	BARTLETT, Robert (I12999)
3117	Robert C. Glenn moved with his family to Hillsborough, OH along with brother Samuel, both mentioned in their father's will as already having received their share of his estate. He married his cousin, Janetta and supposedly died in Missour-451, 468)	GLENN, Robert Curry (I16073)
3118	Robert Curry is listed as part of the Civil Service in the Revolutionary War from Augusta Co., Virginia in the DAR PATRIOT INDEX, VOL I., p.170. (CL-171,175) (CL-270) Birth Order of Robert's children is not in any way in order on my family group sheet. The order has been conjectured as similar to how Robert lists his children in his will. Ann and Samuel's birth dates are the only ones known with some certainty. His will lists them in this order: Samuel, Margaret, Mary, Ann, William, James, Robert, Alexander and Isaiah. I personally suspect that the daughter’s birth order should be intermixed throughout the order of the sons because of some calculations I did from war records. Sons James and Robert were enlisted with their father, Robert, in 1783. That makes their likely birth order before their sister Ann's of 1768, not after. Doris Rawlings received a letter second hand that stated Dr. Robert Curry was from Antrim, Ireland. Dr. Frey, a competent researcher in this family, states that he was born in Londonderry, Ulster Co., Ireland instead. This fits with the fact that he was of Scotch/Irish descent. The Scotch Irish were mostly from Ulster, Northern Ireland, across from Scotland who traveled to America, staying a brief time in Pennsylvania before settling in Augusta Co., Virginia. They were usually Presbyterians. They were participants in many wars of the area, first the French, the Indians, then finally the British. The Indian Wars were from 1753-1764 and the Revolution was from 1775-1781 with peace not formally concluded until 1783. (CL-188) He immigrated from Londonderry, Ireland to Pennsylvania late in the year of 1736 arriving in the Port of Philadelphia. According to the book "Men of Mark in Virginia", he was also born in Londonderry. He traveled with possibly 3 brothers. He and his brother, William purchased 200 acres in Lancaster Co., PA on Jan 16, 1737. Both of them removed to Augusta Co., VA in late 1747 or early 1748 though the Abridged Compendium of American Genealogy by Virkus, c. 1928 stated that he arrived in Augusta Co., VA in 1753. He married first in Pennsylvania and possibly twice from some second-hand sources like "My Augusta.". The only wife that has been verified is Ann Currie. He and his wife, Ann, are listed as cousins in a letter from Donna Lewis dated 1993. This is supported by research from Dr. Frey. Dr. Robert Curry purchased 200 acres on Naked Creek near John Young's and friend, George Glenn's land in Augusta Co., VA on Mar 10, 1748/49. He was the progenitor of the Currys living on Naked Creek. In 1750, Robert and William were joined by their brothers, Nathan, David and Isaiah. (CL-468) Robert Curry farmed his land, but he had also studied medicine and taught fencing for several years. (CL-568) In 1753, he had 135 of these acres on Naked Creek surveyed by Tomas Lewis. In 1780 he surveyed an adjoining 50 acres also on Naked Creek. His possible father-in-law, Andrew McCombe, seems to have helped him purchase 130 of these acres. Robert Curry is listed in the military service throughout this extensive amount of time. Robert Curry qualified as Ensign of Militia on Sept. 21 1763, Captain of Militia on August 16, 1774 and Major of Militia by 1776. He was listed as Capt. in the French and Indian Wars and as Capt. of the Home Guard in the Revolutionary War. For his service in the French and Indian Wars, he was granted a tract of land in Highland Co., Ohio named "Crab Bottom". This is possibly the land that later Curry and Glenn descendants moved to. (CL-568) He was appointed road overseer from Skidmore's Camp up the North River to the first main Fork above the Great Lick on Mar. 18, 1783. He is also listed with sons James and Robert in Capt. Given's and Campbell's Companies in 1783. (CL-194b,c) He was living in Greenbrier Co., VA from 1783-1786. That is now in West Virginia, slightly S.E. of Augusta Co., VA. (CL-172) In record after record for Augusta Co., Virginia he is listed as the "Teste" or Witness for many legal proceedings. In Deed Book 26, pg. 344 he was issued a Patent, 1st Sept., 1780. (The item in patent was not mentioned.) He was an elder in the "Old Stone Church" in Augusta Co., Virginia. It can easily be surmised that he was a well-respected citizen from these court records. (CL-194d). This Robert Curry has been confused with Robert (b. 1730) who was the son of Robert and Jane Seawright Curry from Pennsylvania. It is said that he married an Ann also (though this simply could be a mix-up with our Dr. Robert who was born in 1717). (CL-305,306, 391) Proof that our Dr. Robert, father of our Ann Glenn, was born in 1717 first comes from a Vol. I, D.A.R. record. The D.A.R. information is supported in Dr. Robert Curry's Tombstone Inscription taken by an unknown reader from Old Fort Defiance, August Co., VA. On that he was born Nov. 10, 1717 and died Jan. 5, 1800 and was buried with wife Ann Curry of Ulster Co., Ireland. (CL-270) The death date does not match when he wrote his will in 1803. The tombstone was erected by his descendent, Charles Curry around 1898. The unknown reader described it as a large new stone erected by children of Robert Addison and Hanna Anderson Curry. According to researcher, Linda Baker, the person simply transcribed the tombstone incorrectly. It clearly states that he died Jan. 5, 1804. After the Charles who had erected the tombstone, died in 1941, the Curry family home that had been lived in by six generations of Currys was finally sold in 1946. His tombstone states: "Dr. Curry was Captn in French and Indian War Captn of Home Guards during the Revolutionary War. Elder of Augusta Church. Robert and Ann are Natives of Ulster, Ireland and were amoung the Pioneers and Nation Builders of this Country." In the book, "From Corner to Corner with John Curry Sr.," it states, the first Currys in the Shenandoah Valley are reported to have been Dr. Robert Curry and his brothers, Nathaniel, David and Isaiah who reached Augustus Co. in 1747-48. (CL-207). These brothers names fit with the children of William Curry and Sally Young from Antrim, IRE. (CL-275) Following is Robert Curry's Will, transcribed as written 29 Dec 1803 - Augusta Co. Court Will Book, Vol. VIII, pg. 417: "In the name of God amen I Robert Curry of the State of Virginia and County of Augusta being of advanced years but of perfect mind and memory Thanks to God for it and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die and after death the judgment I do hereby make this my last Will and testament in names and form following and first I recommend my Soul to go to Who gave it and my body to the earth from where it was taken to be buried in a Cristian and decent like maner at the discresion of my Executors here named and as for what worldly goods it hath pleased God to bestow on me in this life it is my will and desire they be disposed of as followeth and first I leave and bequeath unto my beloved wife Ann my dwelling house with all the furniture belonging to it and likewise my Negro wench China to be for her own use during her natural life and to be disposed of her at her decease as she sees proper her and her issue together with two cows & two sheep all to disposed of by her as she sees proper at her decease and as for my real Estate to with my lands I alow my son Samuel the benefit of my lands during my wife Ann life time and at her decease I alow him to keep the land or sell it at the rate of eight dollars an acre if sold to be divided as follows to wit 35 to be divided among them my Daughter Margaret Nickel 5A and my Daughter Mary Erwin 25A and my Daughter Ann Glen the sum of 5A to be taken out of the whole price of the the land I alow my son Samuel to Keep if he sees proper providing he pay to his five brothers William Curry James Curry Robert Curry Alexander and Isah at the rate of eight dollars an acre and provided my son Samuel Should see cause to keep the land he is to pay each of the Legatees in Six years after my wifes decease and I do constitute and appoint my two beloved sons Robert & William (crossed out) Samuel Curry Executors of this my last Will and testament and I do hereby revoke and ___ al former Wills either by word or wrighting ratifying this to be my last Will and testament in ___ I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 29th Day of December the year one thousand eight hundred 3 -- Witnesses present James Young Sen. (his mother's gr. nephew?), Hugh Brown - Andrew Young (His mother's gr.gr. nephew?). Proved 24th December, 1804. Samuel qualifies." (CL-185, 468) He died near Staunton in Augusta Co., VA after this writing in 1804. The family home that his son Samuel was bequeathed is located "six miles northwest of Augusta Stone Presbyterian Church and five miles west of Mt. Sidney in the "hills of Judea" on the waters of Naked Creek." (CL-391d) As for his sons, there are two Samuel Curry's living in Augusta Co, Virginia from at least 1800-1811 who married at similar times. Samuel Curry is listed as marrying Mary Glenn, d. of George Glenn, on Mar. 25 1800. (This disagrees with info. on Mary Glenn Curry's tombstone that says she was the daughter of James Glenn). There is also a Samuel Curry listed with wife Polly in the 1811 settlement of the Seawright estate who lived outside Augusta Co., VA. It does mention three Curry's in this will. Robert Curry and Jane (possible son of Dr. Robert, William or John Curry Sr.), Samuel Curry and Polly (possible son of Dr. Robert Curry) and Nicolas Curry and Sarah, (possible son of John Curry, Sr.) and Samuel Curry and Polly. It does state that all of the listed Curry's no longer live in Virginia (CL-194c) The 1810 Federal Census Records for Augusta Co., VA list the following Curry's as living in Augusta Co., VA. Five of these are possible sons of Robert Curry. There is also a Benjamin Curry, probably the son of William who was a likely cousin of our Dr. Robert Curry in the same area. (I deduce that William and Robert were cousins instead of brothers because of a possible marriage between their children: Elizabeth Curry and Alexander Curry on Oct. 6, 1795. Elizabeth was of age, the d. of William Curry. I presume that Alexander Curry, son of Robert was the spouse, as he is the right age and the only other known Alexander Curry in Augusta County besides Elizabeth's brother also named Alexander.) These are the only Curry's listed as living in Augusta Co., VA in 1810 and they all live in close proximity. The categories are: Males, age 0-10, 10-16, 16-26, 26-45, 45 & up. Females, ages 0-10, 10-16, 16-26, 26-45, 45 & up.

3119	Robert de Beaumont, third Earl of Leicester died in Greece while returning from a pilgrimage to Palestine. (C-1365)	DE BEAUMONT, Robert Iii Earl Of Leicester (I12982)
3120	Robert I, the "Magnificent" and Harlette de Falaise were forbidden to marry because of her lowly rank. Called Arlotta, she lived in an apartment in the walls of the castle. (C-1815) They were the parents of William the Conqueror. Robeisted in the restoration of King Henry of France to his throne for which he received additional lands. Robert died on his return trip from a pilgrimage to the holy land from the heat and fatigue of the travel. He is also called Robert II in some sources. (C-2098, 1351)	DUKE OF NORMANDY, Robert I "The Devil" (I7655)
3121	Robert II was known as "The Pious". Constance was his second wife. He took the title of King in 996. (C-455, 1366, 1370)	KING OF FRANCE, Robert II (I13159)
3122	Robert Jr.'s last child, John, out of many children was born in 1625 in England. Then he had a son Michael with Margaret Froe in 1627 in England supposedly before his first wife had died in 1638. I have not found when they moved to Massachusetts. Jim Hetzer is a DNA cousin match to Kim Anez on Gedmatch, with this being their common ancestor. It is too far back in time to account for their DNA cousin match though. Robert was not named in his father, Robert's will.	EMERSON, Robert (I153)
3123	Robert lived during the reign of King Henry II's time who ruled England from 1154-1189. (C-2162) He was listed as the "second sonne" of William in the original Digby Lineage scroll on vellum (1500's/1600's). (C-2267) According to Burkeert's lands at Billesdon were conveyed to his heirs in 1234. I'm assuming that is near his death date. (C-2163) He married his 1st cousin, daughter of his uncle according to Burke's book.	DE DIGBE, Robert (I8257)
3124	Robert of Prewarden is said to be the son of Sir Robert Whitney in C-437, p.583. and 591. There were often several versions of a person's name is this time period so it could be talking about the same person. It could just as likely be te father I've listed is incorrect and it should be Sir Robert.	WHITNEY, Robert (I12453)
3125	Robert Vernon's home was selected in 1978 as a historical site. (C-681)	VERNON, Robert (I13354)
3126	Robert was a young man when listed as one of the first Quakers to settle in the valley of Bush River somewhere in the 1762-1765 range most likely. He was obviously a well respected member to the Bush River Monthly Meeting. He was oftented to take care of the affairs of the Quaker Church. Ex.: He was one of the persons appointed to check on the clear intent of a man, Joseph McNeal, who had requested marriage on the 1st mo. 1779 in the Bush River Monthly Meeting to Elizabeth Perkins. Robert purchased 200 acres of land on Aug 24, 1770 on Mathias Branch of Bush River adjacent to James Dobbins, John Myers, John Coate, Benjamin Neal and William Dillan. (C-2603) Robert was in the 1779 Old Ninety Sixth District census records along with John Coats (his neighbor?). His death was reported to the Bush River Monthly Meeting on Mar. 27, 1784 as occurring on 3/4/1784. He was buried at the Friends Burial Ground at Bush River and was listed at age 40 at the time of his death in Hinshaw's Quaker Encyclopedia. His wife was listed in the 1790 census. Some of their children moved to Tennessee and some moved to Miami County, Ohio. (C-95)	EVANS, Robert (I15713)
3127	Robert was a younger son, and as such was lucky to inherit the fiefdom from his elder brother. He received the title Earl of Derby from King Stephen for his efforts in the Battle of the Standard in 1138. (F-520)	DE FERRIERES, Robert (I14416)
3128	Robert was from Durston, L., England. (C-1349)	DE STOCKTON, Robert (I13187)
3129	Robert was granted 20s. in Elizabeth Tomlinson's 1629 will. He was taxed for his home in Dudley in 1649. He was listed as "Old Robert Bagley" at the time of his burial. (C-1364)	BAGLEY, Robart (I13476)
3130	Robert was in the Crusades. (C-1211)	DE QUINCY, Robert (I13920)
3131	Robert was listed as the unborn child when his father wrote his will in Mar of 1683.	WELSH, Robert (I613)
3132	Robert was lliving in 1594. (F-511)	MALLORY, Robert (I735)
3133	Robert was titled "Seigner de beumont, Pont Audemer, Brionne and Vatteville in Normandy, Count de Meulan in the French Vexin and Earl of Leicester." He accompanied William the Conqueror and played a very important role at the Battle of Hs in 1066. William rewarded him with many manors lordships in Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire, Northampton and Wilts. He built a castle at Leicester where he enjoyed many luxurious years. When Henry I became he, he was said to be his favorite minister and confidant. Henry bestowed upon him the title of Earl of Leicester. Weeber's genealogy says that Robert and Amice had a daughter named Margurirte, but I have been unable to substantiate this. Brian Tompsett's respected Royal Lineage site does not include Marguerite. (C-1366, 1440, 1878)	DE BEAUMONT, Sir Robert 1St Earl Of Leister (I13181)
3134	Robert Willson, Sr. married Mercy (or Mary) Heaton in 1775 probably in Warren Co., New Jersey. Although he was thought to have died in Kentucky in 1816, it appears that is not the case from the following information found by Kim Holly. "Redstone Monthly Meeting House in Fayette Co., PA reads as follows Mar. 11, 1797: Mercy & children John, Benjamin, Isaiah, Robert, Mercy, Caleb, Gabriel & Rebecca, rec'd Kingwood MM, dtd 1796, 9, 8. There is a Jeremiah & w/ Joanna Wilson in this same MM house." This is definitely the wife and children of Robert Willson, Sr. However, since Robert is not listed in this move, it is likely that he died previous to 9/8/1796. There is a deed record for a Benjamin Wilson who received land in Guilford Co., NC in 1797 which might be a dispersal of land to his son, Benjamin after Robert dies that needs checked. (C-906) I also descend through Esther's brother Gabriel, so the Dna matches this far back in time are likely showing up because we descend through two siblings of the Willson family.	WILLSON, Robert Sr. (I11708)
3135	Robert, the oldest son of William the Conqueror, was bequeathed Normandy at his father's death. He tried to take England from his younger brother, Henry I, but was captured by him at Tenchebrai. Henry imprisoned him for the last 29 yearss life in Cardiff Castle. (Usherwood, Reign by Reign)	Robert III Robert Duke Of Normandy (I12893)
3136	Roberta Keller's theory is that this Bartholomew is the Coppock who is the father of her Moses William Coppock (1736-aft 1768). He is the only Coppock whose children aren't known who is the correct age to be his father. The names of Milliam's children align fairly well with this family also. It is also conjecture on Roberta Keller's part that Bart is the son of Bart Sr.'s first wife, Rebecca Minshall. I tend to believe he was Phebe's son instead and born after brother Moses. I feel this way because brother Moses was the grandson who was listed in their grandfather, Bart's will. First grandson's are often listed in wills, suggesting that Moses is older than Bartholomew. There was a marriage for a Bartholomew Coppock and Amy Cox in the 1730's of Wellingborough, Burlington Co., NJ that we were hoping applied to this Bartholomew. When Roberta Keller obtained the certificates for this couple she discovered that it didn't. Amy Coppock, widow of Bartholomew is administering his estate in 1836... years before the Bartholomew dies who is the son of Moses William Coppock.	COPPOCK, Bartholomew IV (I16790)
3137	Roger came from Somerset Co., England early in the 1700's. He bought land in Burlington Co., NJ in 1696 or 1722 depending upon which 2nd hand source is read. (E) His children listed in his will were: John 1706 Newey, Joseph 1708, Joanna, Marmaduke 1710, Esther 1712, Edith 1714, and Roger, 1716. Of these, so far a marriage application for George Fenton Jr. somehow related to son Marmaduke has supported the fact that his parents surnames were Fort and Coates. "#213; George FENTON Jr. of Hanover Twp and County Burlington, and Marmaduke COATES (FORT) of the same place.....[bound to]....William LIVINGSTON, Governor...500 pounds...12 March 1777....certificate of marriage between George FENTON Jr...and Elizabeth SCRAGGY...[W] Wm SORSBY." (E) The Fort name is in parenthesis by the author who transcribed the record. Apparently, Marmaduke had signed his name as Marmaduke Coates Fort on this record and the author indicated that by putting the part of the missing name in the body with parenthesis.	FORT, Roger (I13884)
3138	Roger de Bellomonte, as he is called in Hamilton's book, commanded an army against Malcolm III, King of Scotland, when he accompanied William the Conqueror in 1066. He finished his father's work on the Abbey of PReaux in Normandy. (C-1878	DE BEAUMONT, Roger (I13864)
3139	Roger is listed as her father in her christening record.	HUMPHRY, Elizabeth (I2470)
3140	Roger was a Churchwarden in 1575 in South Petherton. This Roger could have had the title, Gentleman, and been married to Elizabeth who was buried in South Petherton, Somerset, England on January 9, 1593/1594. If so, he had a son named James who was buried on September 22, 1592 in South Petherton. Roger Forte, Gentleman, wrote a will in 1608 in South Petherton. (F-472)	FORTE, Roger (Theory) (I13608)
3141	Roger was living in 1219. He might be the Roger Mallory who was knighted in 1283. (F-511, 635)	MALLORY, Roger (I16606)
3142	Roger was the 2nd Earl of Winchester and the Constable of Scotland. He went with his father on the Fifth Crusade in 1219. (C-1366)	DE QUINCY, Roger (I5217)

Richard Lundy I immigrated from Bristol, England on a ship captained by Mr. William Browne in August of 1676 landing in Boston, England. He lived in Boston until May 19, 1682, when he sailed down the Delaware River and settled in Bucks Consylvania As of 1688, he owned 1000 acres of land in Buckingham township "confirmed" on him by William Penn.

He married twice. His first wife, Elizabeth Bennet, died just three years after their marriage without having born Richard any children that can be verified. There is a slight chance that a John Lundy listed in the area could have been a son by this marriage.

His second wife, Jane Lyon, was a 16 year old orphan when she came over with the James Harrison and Phineas Pemberton families of Bolton, Lancaster Co., England in 1682 on the ship, SUBMISSION. This ship sailed on the 5th of the 7th month, 1682 and arrived in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland on the 21st of the 9th month, 1682. Due to a homestead law of this colony, she was given 50 acres of land which her husband later applied for on Mar. 18, 1717-1718.

Although Richard owned extensive property in Buckingham Twp., it appears that he lived in Falls Township from 1693-1701, due to the many references to him in the Falls Monthly Meeting Records during that period. The last reference to him in Quaker records reveals much. He presented a certificate of membership to the Exeter Monthly Meeting in Berks Co., PA on Nov. 24, 1737. His wife, not being mentioned, had probably passed away. He likely died within a year at Berks Co., PA as he did not witness the marriage of his grandson in 1739 in Berks Co., Pennsylvania. (C-256,C-257)

According to a cousin DNA match at ancestry known as Terri S. Hayden, Richard was born on 4 Dec 1654, Axminster, Devon, England instead. He is still listed as a son of Sylvester with this alternate birthdate.

Richard Sperry came to New Haven in 1643. He and his son, Richard are listed as proprietors in New Haven in 1685.

Richard Sperry, said to be of Welsh ancestry, was in New Haven, CT in 1640. Wife's name was Dennis ____? He was a freeman in 1644. He had lived on the west side of the rock, one mile from the cave where Goffe and Whaley, the regicides, enjoyed their hiding, and he had supplied them with food.

Richard was a Justice of the Common Please for the Queen at Westminster. In his will, he requested that he be buried in the church of Writtle in Essex where his "well-beloved wife", Margaret, was already buried. He wanted a monument witr arms joined together. He was however, apparently remarried as he instructed that his daughters be brought up and educated by his wife, Elizabeth. His sone Jerome received the residue of his manors and lands and was his executor. His daughters, Wynefriede and Margaret, were under age 18, and his son Nicholas was under age 21. (F-533)

Richard was a signer of the "Declaration of Indepedence" from the New Jersey delegates. His biography is provided as follows at http://www.virginiadeclarationofrights.com/theDeclarationofIndependence.org/RichardStockton.net/: "Richard Sn was born October 1, 1730 near Princeton, New Jersey. His family was ancient and respectable. His great grandfather, of the same name, came from England around 1670, and after residing a few years on Long Island, moved with a number of associates to an extensive tract of land, of which present day Princeton is nearly the center. This tract consisted of 6,400 acres. Richard Stockton was the eldest son of John, who had inherited the family estate "Morven" and was for years chief judge of the court of common pleas of Somerset county.

His early education was highly respectable and he entered the college of New Jersey, graduating in 1748.After leaving college, he studied law with the honorable David Ogden, of Newark, who was at that time the head of the legal profession in the province. Stockton was admitted to the bar in 1754 and soon rose to great distinction, both as a counselor and an advocate. He avoided politics and rendered important service to the College, afterward known as Princeton, as a trustee. In 1766 and 1767, he gave up his practice for the purpose of visiting England, Scotland, and Ireland. While he was in Scotland, his personal efforts resulted in the acceptance of the presidency of the College by the Reverend John Witherspoon. Witherspoon's wife had opposed her husbands taking the position but her objections were overcome with the aid of Benjamin Rush, who was a medical student in Edinburgh. This was an exceedingly important event in the history of higher education in America.

Stockton returned to America and the following year, 1768, he was made a member of the executive council of the province and in 1774 was promoted to the supreme bench of New Jersey. He struggled at first towards reconciliation between the colonies and Britain and in December 1774 he sent Lord Dartmouth a proposal for colonial self-government. However, he soon became active in efforts to organize opposition to the crown and on June 21, 1776, he was chosen by the provincial congress to be a member of the continental congress. Stockton married Annis Boudinot, a poet in her own right and sister of Elias Boudinot, who married Stockton's sister. The Stockton's had six children, their son Richard became an eminent lawyer and prominent Federalist leader, and his daughter Julia married Dr. Benjamin Rush, also a Signer of the Declaration of Independence. Although quiet during the opening debates for independence, by the close of the discussion he expressed his agreement in the final vote with a short but energetic speech. He was reelected to congress, where he was an active member and in September 1776, he became a candidate for governor of New Jersey under the state's new constitution. On the first ballot Stockton and William Livingston received an equal number of votes, but Livingston won by one vote on the next ballot. Stockton was then chosen chief justice of the state, but he declined in order to remain in congress.

Stockton's political career was unhappily shortened by military developments in New Jersey. On September 26, 1776, he and George Clymer were appointed to a committee to inspect the northern army. On his return home, he found the British advancing and Stockton moved his family to Monmouth, to the home of John Covenhoven. Stockton was betrayed to the enemy and on November 30, both Stockton and Covenhoven were dragged from their beds at night and taken to the common prison in New York. Stockton was treated with unusual severity and brutality that seriously affected his health. His home was pillaged, his library, which was one of the best in the country, had been burned by the British, and his lands were laid to waste. Stockton's treatment in the New York prison prompted congress to pass a resolution directing George Washington to inquire into the circumstances and not long afterward, Stockton was exchanged. However, he never regained his health and his fortune was so greatly diminished by the devastation of his property, that he was forced to accept the temporary aid of his friends. The indignities and suffering left him a broken, humiliated man. He remained an invalid until he died at Morven on February 28, 1781."

STOCKTON, Richard (I1773)

Richard was born about 1635 according to Montgomery. He came with his parents to Maryland around 1652-3. He was the oldest son and heir, but seemed rather quiet compared to his more aggressive brothers in court records. Richard is med in his father's will. He went to England after his father died and returned to Maryland on July 20, 1669 while importing sixteen persons. He filed claim for their headrights on that date. He deeded a gift of land, 300 acres of Planters Delight, to his brother George in 1670. He and his wife were childless when he died in his thirties. He left his lands to his brother George as he appeared to have the only male heir at that time. (C-637)

WELLS, Richard (I13026)

Richard was offered a knighthood about 1616 which he refused. He "held land of the crown (or rather of the Earl of Chester) on his death". His heir was his grandson, Richard, who had just turned 12 years of age the previous October. Ther Richard had taken guardianship of his granson, Richard when his son Richard die. In 1616, an agreement was written that the younger Richard would marry a Baskerville daughter at age 21 in return for money and property. This, however, never occurred for reasons unknown. It would have meant a social step up for the elder Richard and does indicate that he was moving up in the world. (C-2272) n

Richard was raised by his grandfather after his father died in 1617. His residence in Mobberly Parish is still labeled Yarwood House on the map. He appeared in the local records when his travel expenses were noted in his position ofg after sequestered lands in various local towns of the parson of Mobberley in the 1650's as requested by the Parliament. His home was one of a few where Quaker meetings were held. He was buried in Mobberley on Jun 1? 1663. (C-2272)

YARWOOD, Richard (I15767)

Richard Wells could be the son of John and Elizabeth Elyott Wells of Saltash, England. Harry Wright Newman supports this theory because Richard's son, George, used a seal on his documents that was highly similar to the arms of the Wells of Saltash, County Cornwall, England. That Wells family settled in County Cornwall about 1530 from Lincolnshire. Their arms included a shield with a chevron with three birds and horse's head for the crest. This evidence suggests that the Wells in Saltash need to be studied closely.

What we know for sure about Richard is that he was a staunch Puritan of wealth and influence at a period of history when the Puritans were in power. He and his wife were both the immigrant ancestors in this line. He immigrated from England to Virginia before Sep. 13, 1637. Richard was unmarried when he arrived and settled south of the James River in Virginia. (C-637) He received head rights in Charles City Co., Virginia and received fifty acres of land on the River between two creeks. He apparently had property back in England. He is sometimes confused with another Richard Wells also in Virginia.

Our Dr. Richard Wells is apparently the Richard who was a Surgeon. He was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1645. He and his family probably moved to Maryland to seek religious freedom offered by Lord Baltimore in 1653. The fact that he was a liberal puritan provoked the move. He took with him all of his children but Martha who had not been born, plus his servants, Thomas Boone, Henry Symonds, George Hall, Thomas Linstead, Edward Howard and Martha Windright.

The birth place of he and his wife's children was in Virginia. Only their daughter, Martha's, birth date and place is unknown.

In Maryland, he was granted 600 acres on Herring Bay that he named "Wells". He built the Manor House they lived in throughout their days on that property. He was appointed a member of the Parliamentary Commission on July 22, 1654, a year after arriving in Maryland. He along with Capt. Fuller, Richard Preston, William Durand Edward Lloyd, Capt. John Smith, Leonard Strong, John Lawson, John Hotch, and Richard Ewen controlled Maryland's government from 1654-1658. Any four of them could act as long as one of them was Fuller, Preston or Durand. (C-603)

He held multiple offices for the courts. He accumulated much wealth in the form of land and a sixteenth of a ship called "The Baltimore." In checking public record, one family researcher has found this Richard Wells and his sons to be ambitious, furious when thwarted, and unsympathetic to those who could not further their interests. (C-637)

After his death in 1667, his son Richard returned to England where his father's will was probated at the Prerogative Ct. of Canterbury, (1668). He still owned land in England at that time. His estate was appraised on Dec. 5, 1667 by Capt. John Howell and Godfrey Bayley. In it, a "chirugeon chest" contained interest in the ship "Majesty". His total worth was L1,735/6/4 plus 57,145 pounds of tobacco, several servants, silver plate, L7/8/9 currency. His Majesty owed him several sums on top of that. His will was witnessed by Francis Stockett, Bonham Turner and Wm. Linckhorne. He named five sons and three daughters. He wished all things to be divided including things in Maryland (the plantation where he lived), Virginia and England.

According to a book on the "Welsh Family" whom his grandson, Thomas Stockett through daughter Mary married into, Richard held the title of "Major" as well as Dr.

Richard would be the son in the 1820 census from age 16 to 18, approximating his birth date from 1802-1804. (CL-335)

Richard Wright is listed as a shipwright in his will which he wrote on Jan 9, 1748/9 and which was probated on Mar 8, 1748. In it, he names wife Mary, children, George, Mary, Lydia and Sarah and brothers in laws Warwick and Abrahm Coatsh Coats was one of his witnesses -- his possible sister-in-law. The transcription of it is as follows: WRIGHT, RICHARD JUNR. Kensington, Co. of Philadelphia. Shipwright. January 9, 1748/9. March 8, 1748. J.75. Wife: Mary. Children: George, Mary, Lydia and Sarah.

Richard, Earl of Arundel and Warrene was called "Copped Hat". He was made Justicar of North Wales for life in 1334, Governor of Carnarvon Castle in 1339 and Sheriff of Shropshire for life in 1345. He had a leading honorable role in the wah France holding the position of Admiral of the West in 1340/41 and 1345/47. He commanded the second division in the battle of Crecy and was at the fall of Calais in 1347.

He had two wives. His first marriage was annulled by papal decree after 24 years of marriage. This occurred in 1344 on the grounds of his minority and his having never consented to the match. He married Lady Eleanor in the same year. He died at age 70 as was buried at Lewes. (C-437, p.582-3)

Robert and his wife had multiple sons whose names have been researched. They had at least 2 daughters. (CL-468) They emigrated from Ireland (likely through England) to Philadelphia about 1736 or 1737 as verified in court records in Orange Co., Virginia dated Jun 26, 1740 to verify their transportation. Robert, Agnes, John, Samuel and James were listed in this document. In Virginia, proof of transportation was required when buying land.

Robert purchased 400 acres of land on Jun 1, 1740 for 40 shillings in Orange County called Augusta on Buffalo Creek. No neighbors bordered this property. To keep the land he had to pay 1 shilling per year on the day of the feast of the Arch Angel Michael for 3 years and improve 3 acres out of every 50 acres of land within 3 years. If he could not keep these agreements the grantors had the right to sell the land to someone else. http://lva1.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/F/19RE57QF4S1HHSNL3TIUJ6RD8564B8IEBUPDS8IDKQ2ALQ3VGX-61016?func=full-set-set&set_number=006012&set_entry=000002&format=999"

Robert is in a list of the earliest settlers of Beverley Manor where he purchased 373 acres on Jun 7, 1742. He had several land purchases in fact. Four hundred acres at the head of north branch of Buffalo Creek, bordering on Borden's land was purchased in 1747 from William McMachan, Gentleman of Fredrick Co. This appears to be the same land mentioned above that he got a patent for in 1740 and then finally purchased in 1747. He also purchased 550 acres from William Beverly, Esq.

He is listed as receiving land that was part of his brother, John's land in this Chaukley Vol 3 record: Page 638.--27th February, 1749. to Robert Young, planter (farmer) part of John Young's land in Beverley Manor (234 acres) on Back Creek. Corner to Hugh Young and John Trimble; corner William McPheeters; corner James Young. Teste: Thomas Stewart and Charles Dalhouse.

He also obtained 530 acres respectively on Feb 28, 1749 for which he received Patents in that same year. Chaukley, V. 3, Page 642.--28th February, 1749. Same to same, 550 acres whereon he now lives.

It should be noted that there were several Roberts and at least one other Robert Sr. in Augusta Co, VA at the same time as this Robert Sr. and some of the facts below could belong to them instead. The other Robert Sr. lived on the Forks off James River by 1755.

According to Robert Frey he is the Robert who had two indentured servants, William Sanford and Margaret McGaffey. Margaret filed a complaint against her "white haired" master in the 1740's.

If accurate, then he is the following Robert in Chalkley: "page 29 Robert Young, white haired, (April, 1745/6), Chancery suit vs. Borden". In that same record there is a 2nd Robert Young delineated who lived near the Courthouse. There is a third Robert listed who lived on the North Forks (which is the other Robert Sr. who moved with his family to Tennessee sometime after 1776. These were all from a list of Clerk records where clerks listed distinguishing characteristics of persons involved in the payment of fees.)

He was a part of Richard Wood's Co. in the militia in 1745 and 1746. He was named Constable in that same time period. That meant that he would hear minor cases in business and conduct in the courts. He gained the position of "Captain, Troop of Horse" for the militia on Aug. 21, 1752.

He and his sons and brother Hugh were part of a group of his neighbors that were to help build a road. "May, 1753. Road established from Brown's bridge to the Glebe land, and Robert Campbell and John Trimble be surveyors, and with James Lusk, pg. 443, they clear and keep the same in order.

Robert entered into a bond with Hugh Spier of Orange Co. in Aug., 1740, but something was amiss as Mr. Spier sued him over it in 1754 and 1756. On Mar. 18th, 1755, he divided his homestead at Beverley Manor between his sons. Chalkley V. 3: Page 497.--15th March, 1755.

According to Chalkley, John was involved with a lawsuit shortly thereafter. According to this MARCH, 1758 (B) Chaukley record. *April 28, 1756.--This day Mathew Edmoston, Constable, made oath before me, Patrick Martin, and, that by virtue of an execution, and , versus the estate of John Young, and, he seized the goods of said John Young and by violent force they were forceably taken and rescued from him by Robert Young, Sr., and his wife, Agnes. (Signed) Pat. Martin. This does not necessarily indicate that John had passed at that moment in time. Attorney Janice McAlpine theorizes that his son had given some of his personal estate to his father for safe keeping from a lawsuit he was involved in and that the sheriff was not able to get John's personal estate from Robert Young, Sr. to pay the debt that Patrick Martin believed he had. &lt/line&gt&ltline &gt&lt/line&gt&ltline&gtIn Chalkley he might have been the following Robert: Page 160.-- (1757?) Robert Young and James Davis, on north east side of Buffelow Creek and up the North River to the Mountain. This record in Chalkley likely applies to this Robert Young and his sons. Page 290.--1760: Processioned by _____ ? _____: For Robert Hamilton, ... for Robert Young, for James Young, for Samuel Young, for Hugh Young ... Processioned meant that the land was accounted for every 4 years in the Parish. He is likely the Robert who appeared in this 1760 Chaukley, V. 3 record: Page 749.--31st March, 1760. Robert Young to Wm. Todd, 400 acres on North Br. of Buffalo Creek, Benj. Borden's line.

According to Chalkley, our Robert Sr. died in 1762. This is supported by Orphans court records. On May 20, 1762, Robert Young, age 18, son and orphan of Robert Young, chose (brother) James Young to be his guardian. The next day, James became his official guardian when he, brother Samuel and Joseph Hannett gave bond to the court. James also took guardianship of two other brothers, William and Hugh, on Aug 21, 1764. This time bond was given by James with 2 John Youngs, a Robert Young and John Kirkpatrick.

Agness is listed as the late wife of Robert Young in a May 28, 1765 court case vs. John Brown for Writ of dower. In Oct 1769, she released her dower in order that her son James could sell some land. Agness died sometime after Jun 20, 1770 when the case against John Brown was dropped because of his death. (CL-468) According to Sharon Young Jebavy, she and five or six of her sons removed to Laurens Co., South Carolina after this last written record found about her on land she had bought in 1766. (CL-541)

Robert and Mary Willson had a daughter, Martha, b. Feb. 18, 1754 in Hardwick, Sussex Co, NJ who moved to Whitchurch Twp., York Co., Ontario with her husband Henry Widdifield. There are Willson descendants in Canada from this branch. (C-

Robert Bartlett came to the new land in 1623 on the ship "Ann." "The History of the Society of Descendants of Robert Bartlet of Plymouth, MA." states that Robert and his wife, Mary, were married in 1628 instead of the marriage date of 1634, I have placed in this record. A 1628 marriage date allows George Bartlett to be the son of these two people as is often stated in second hand sources. I do not have verification on either marriage date and personally do not believe the he is the son of Robert and Mary as he immigrated from England about 1640 - meaning that he would have been raised by someone else entirely in England until his arrival. (F-532, 579)

Robert and Mary are known to have 2 sons and 8 daughters, with his sons being listed here. (F-579)

Robert C. Glenn moved with his family to Hillsborough, OH along with brother Samuel, both mentioned in their father's will as already having received their share of his estate. He married his cousin, Janetta and supposedly died in Missour-451, 468)

GLENN, Robert Curry (I16073)

3118

Robert Curry is listed as part of the Civil Service in the Revolutionary War from Augusta Co., Virginia in the DAR PATRIOT INDEX, VOL I., p.170. (CL-171,175) (CL-270)

Birth Order of Robert's children is not in any way in order on my family group sheet. The order has been conjectured as similar to how Robert lists his children in his will. Ann and Samuel's birth dates are the only ones known with some certainty. His will lists them in this order: Samuel, Margaret, Mary, Ann, William, James, Robert, Alexander and Isaiah. I personally suspect that the daughter’s birth order should be intermixed throughout the order of the sons because of some calculations I did from war records. Sons James and Robert were enlisted with their father, Robert, in 1783. That makes their likely birth order before their sister Ann's of 1768, not after.

Doris Rawlings received a letter second hand that stated Dr. Robert Curry was from Antrim, Ireland. Dr. Frey, a competent researcher in this family, states that he was born in Londonderry, Ulster Co., Ireland instead. This fits with the fact that he was of Scotch/Irish descent. The Scotch Irish were mostly from Ulster, Northern Ireland, across from Scotland who traveled to America, staying a brief time in Pennsylvania before settling in Augusta Co., Virginia. They were usually Presbyterians. They were participants in many wars of the area, first the French, the Indians, then finally the British. The Indian Wars were from 1753-1764 and the Revolution was from 1775-1781 with peace not formally concluded until 1783. (CL-188)

He immigrated from Londonderry, Ireland to Pennsylvania late in the year of 1736 arriving in the Port of Philadelphia. According to the book "Men of Mark in Virginia", he was also born in Londonderry. He traveled with possibly 3 brothers. He and his brother, William purchased 200 acres in Lancaster Co., PA on Jan 16, 1737. Both of them removed to Augusta Co., VA in late 1747 or early 1748 though the Abridged Compendium of American Genealogy by Virkus, c. 1928 stated that he arrived in Augusta Co., VA in 1753.

He married first in Pennsylvania and possibly twice from some second-hand sources like "My Augusta.". The only wife that has been verified is Ann Currie. He and his wife, Ann, are listed as cousins in a letter from Donna Lewis dated 1993. This is supported by research from Dr. Frey. Dr. Robert Curry purchased 200 acres on Naked Creek near John Young's and friend, George Glenn's land in Augusta Co., VA on Mar 10, 1748/49. He was the progenitor of the Currys living on Naked Creek. In 1750, Robert and William were joined by their brothers, Nathan, David and Isaiah. (CL-468)

Robert Curry farmed his land, but he had also studied medicine and taught fencing for several years. (CL-568) In 1753, he had 135 of these acres on Naked Creek surveyed by Tomas Lewis. In 1780 he surveyed an adjoining 50 acres also on Naked Creek. His possible father-in-law, Andrew McCombe, seems to have helped him purchase 130 of these acres. Robert Curry is listed in the military service throughout this extensive amount of time. Robert Curry qualified as Ensign of Militia on Sept. 21 1763, Captain of Militia on August 16, 1774 and Major of Militia by 1776. He was listed as Capt. in the French and Indian Wars and as Capt. of the Home Guard in the Revolutionary War. For his service in the French and Indian Wars, he was granted a tract of land in Highland Co., Ohio named "Crab Bottom". This is possibly the land that later Curry and Glenn descendants moved to. (CL-568)

He was appointed road overseer from Skidmore's Camp up the North River to the first main Fork above the Great Lick on Mar. 18, 1783. He is also listed with sons James and Robert in Capt. Given's and Campbell's Companies in 1783. (CL-194b,c) He was living in Greenbrier Co., VA from 1783-1786. That is now in West Virginia, slightly S.E. of Augusta Co., VA. (CL-172) In record after record for Augusta Co., Virginia he is listed as the "Teste" or Witness for many legal proceedings. In Deed Book 26, pg. 344 he was issued a Patent, 1st Sept., 1780. (The item in patent was not mentioned.) He was an elder in the "Old Stone Church" in Augusta Co., Virginia. It can easily be surmised that he was a well-respected citizen from these court records. (CL-194d).

This Robert Curry has been confused with Robert (b. 1730) who was the son of Robert and Jane Seawright Curry from Pennsylvania. It is said that he married an Ann also (though this simply could be a mix-up with our Dr. Robert who was born in 1717). (CL-305,306, 391) Proof that our Dr. Robert, father of our Ann Glenn, was born in 1717 first comes from a Vol. I, D.A.R. record. The D.A.R. information is supported in Dr. Robert Curry's Tombstone Inscription taken by an unknown reader from Old Fort Defiance, August Co., VA. On that he was born Nov. 10, 1717 and died Jan. 5, 1800 and was buried with wife Ann Curry of Ulster Co., Ireland. (CL-270) The death date does not match when he wrote his will in 1803. The tombstone was erected by his descendent, Charles Curry around 1898. The unknown reader described it as a large new stone erected by children of Robert Addison and Hanna Anderson Curry. According to researcher, Linda Baker, the person simply transcribed the tombstone incorrectly. It clearly states that he died Jan. 5, 1804.

After the Charles who had erected the tombstone, died in 1941, the Curry family home that had been lived in by six generations of Currys was finally sold in 1946. His tombstone states: "Dr. Curry was Captn in French and Indian War Captn of Home Guards during the Revolutionary War. Elder of Augusta Church. Robert and Ann are Natives of Ulster, Ireland and were amoung the Pioneers and Nation Builders of this Country."

In the book, "From Corner to Corner with John Curry Sr.," it states, the first Currys in the Shenandoah Valley are reported to have been Dr. Robert Curry and his brothers, Nathaniel, David and Isaiah who reached Augustus Co. in 1747-48. (CL-207). These brothers names fit with the children of William Curry and Sally Young from Antrim, IRE. (CL-275) Following is Robert Curry's Will, transcribed as written 29 Dec 1803 - Augusta Co. Court Will Book, Vol. VIII, pg. 417: "In the name of God amen I Robert Curry of the State of Virginia and County of Augusta being of advanced years but of perfect mind and memory Thanks to God for it and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die and after death the judgment I do hereby make this my last Will and testament in names and form following and first I recommend my Soul to go to Who gave it and my body to the earth from where it was taken to be buried in a Cristian and decent like maner at the discresion of my Executors here named and as for what worldly goods it hath pleased God to bestow on me in this life it is my will and desire they be disposed of as followeth and first I leave and bequeath unto my beloved wife Ann my dwelling house with all the furniture belonging to it and likewise my Negro wench China to be for her own use during her natural life and to be disposed of her at her decease as she sees proper her and her issue together with two cows & two sheep all to disposed of by her as she sees proper at her decease and as for my real Estate to with my lands I alow my son Samuel the benefit of my lands during my wife Ann life time and at her decease I alow him to keep the land or sell it at the rate of eight dollars an acre if sold to be divided as follows to wit 35 to be divided among them my Daughter Margaret Nickel 5A and my Daughter Mary Erwin 25A and my Daughter Ann Glen the sum of 5A to be taken out of the whole price of the the land I alow my son Samuel to Keep if he sees proper providing he pay to his five brothers William Curry James Curry Robert Curry Alexander and Isah at the rate of eight dollars an acre and provided my son Samuel Should see cause to keep the land he is to pay each of the Legatees in Six years after my wifes decease and I do constitute and appoint my two beloved sons Robert & William (crossed out) Samuel Curry Executors of this my last Will and testament and I do hereby revoke and ___ al former Wills either by word or wrighting ratifying this to be my last Will and testament in ___ I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 29th Day of December the year one thousand eight hundred 3 -- Witnesses present James Young Sen. (his mother's gr. nephew?), Hugh Brown - Andrew Young (His mother's gr.gr. nephew?). Proved 24th December, 1804. Samuel qualifies." (CL-185, 468)

He died near Staunton in Augusta Co., VA after this writing in 1804. The family home that his son Samuel was bequeathed is located "six miles northwest of Augusta Stone Presbyterian Church and five miles west of Mt. Sidney in the "hills of Judea" on the waters of Naked Creek." (CL-391d) As for his sons, there are two Samuel Curry's living in Augusta Co, Virginia from at least 1800-1811 who married at similar times. Samuel Curry is listed as marrying Mary Glenn, d. of George Glenn, on Mar. 25 1800. (This disagrees with info. on Mary Glenn Curry's tombstone that says she was the daughter of James Glenn). There is also a Samuel Curry listed with wife Polly in the 1811 settlement of the Seawright estate who lived outside Augusta Co., VA. It does mention three Curry's in this will. Robert Curry and Jane (possible son of Dr. Robert, William or John Curry Sr.), Samuel Curry and Polly (possible son of Dr. Robert Curry) and Nicolas Curry and Sarah, (possible son of John Curry, Sr.) and Samuel Curry and Polly. It does state that all of the listed Curry's no longer live in Virginia (CL-194c)

The 1810 Federal Census Records for Augusta Co., VA list the following Curry's as living in Augusta Co., VA. Five of these are possible sons of Robert Curry. There is also a Benjamin Curry, probably the son of William who was a likely cousin of our Dr. Robert Curry in the same area. (I deduce that William and Robert were cousins instead of brothers because of a possible marriage between their children: Elizabeth Curry and Alexander Curry on Oct. 6, 1795. Elizabeth was of age, the d. of William Curry. I presume that Alexander Curry, son of Robert was the spouse, as he is the right age and the only other known Alexander Curry in Augusta County besides Elizabeth's brother also named Alexander.) These are the only Curry's listed as living in Augusta Co., VA in 1810 and they all live in close proximity. The categories are: Males, age 0-10, 10-16, 16-26, 26-45, 45 & up. Females, ages 0-10, 10-16, 16-26, 26-45, 45 & up. (CL-181) Alexander, pg 325; 20001-10010-00 Benjamin, pg.325; 00010-00011-00 Isaiah, pg 325; 20010-20010-00 * James, pg 325; 40201-22010-00 * Robert, Curry: pg. 326: 00001-42201-00 * Samuel, pg 325; 20110-30010-00 * Samuel, pg 325; 21010-20011-10 William, pg 325; 12301-00001-00 * Of these: Isaiah, James, Robert, Samuel and William are possibly Dr. Robert Curry's sons or even grandsons.

Robert I, the "Magnificent" and Harlette de Falaise were forbidden to marry because of her lowly rank. Called Arlotta, she lived in an apartment in the walls of the castle. (C-1815) They were the parents of William the Conqueror. Robeisted in the restoration of King Henry of France to his throne for which he received additional lands. Robert died on his return trip from a pilgrimage to the holy land from the heat and fatigue of the travel. He is also called Robert II in some sources. (C-2098, 1351)

3122

Robert Jr.'s last child, John, out of many children was born in 1625 in England. Then he had a son Michael with Margaret Froe in 1627 in England supposedly before his first wife had died in 1638. I have not found when they moved to Massachusetts. Jim Hetzer is a DNA cousin match to Kim Anez on Gedmatch, with this being their common ancestor. It is too far back in time to account for their DNA cousin match though. Robert was not named in his father, Robert's will.

EMERSON, Robert (I153)

3123

Robert lived during the reign of King Henry II's time who ruled England from 1154-1189. (C-2162) He was listed as the "second sonne" of William in the original Digby Lineage scroll on vellum (1500's/1600's). (C-2267) According to Burkeert's lands at Billesdon were conveyed to his heirs in 1234. I'm assuming that is near his death date. (C-2163) He married his 1st cousin, daughter of his uncle according to Burke's book.

DE DIGBE, Robert (I8257)

3124

Robert of Prewarden is said to be the son of Sir Robert Whitney in C-437, p.583. and 591. There were often several versions of a person's name is this time period so it could be talking about the same person. It could just as likely be te father I've listed is incorrect and it should be Sir Robert.

Robert was a young man when listed as one of the first Quakers to settle in the valley of Bush River somewhere in the 1762-1765 range most likely. He was obviously a well respected member to the Bush River Monthly Meeting. He was oftented to take care of the affairs of the Quaker Church. Ex.: He was one of the persons appointed to check on the clear intent of a man, Joseph McNeal, who had requested marriage on the 1st mo. 1779 in the Bush River Monthly Meeting to Elizabeth Perkins. Robert purchased 200 acres of land on Aug 24, 1770 on Mathias Branch of Bush River adjacent to James Dobbins, John Myers, John Coate, Benjamin Neal and William Dillan. (C-2603) Robert was in the 1779 Old Ninety Sixth District census records along with John Coats (his neighbor?). His death was reported to the Bush River Monthly Meeting on Mar. 27, 1784 as occurring on 3/4/1784. He was buried at the Friends Burial Ground at Bush River and was listed at age 40 at the time of his death in Hinshaw's Quaker Encyclopedia. His wife was listed in the 1790 census. Some of their children moved to Tennessee and some moved to Miami County, Ohio. (C-95)

EVANS, Robert (I15713)

Robert was a younger son, and as such was lucky to inherit the fiefdom from his elder brother. He received the title Earl of Derby from King Stephen for his efforts in the Battle of the Standard in 1138. (F-520)

Robert was titled "Seigner de beumont, Pont Audemer, Brionne and Vatteville in Normandy, Count de Meulan in the French Vexin and Earl of Leicester." He accompanied William the Conqueror and played a very important role at the Battle of Hs in 1066. William rewarded him with many manors lordships in Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire, Northampton and Wilts. He built a castle at Leicester where he enjoyed many luxurious years. When Henry I became he, he was said to be his favorite minister and confidant. Henry bestowed upon him the title of Earl of Leicester. Weeber's genealogy says that Robert and Amice had a daughter named Margurirte, but I have been unable to substantiate this. Brian Tompsett's respected Royal Lineage site does not include Marguerite. (C-1366, 1440, 1878)

Robert Willson, Sr. married Mercy (or Mary) Heaton in 1775 probably in Warren Co., New Jersey. Although he was thought to have died in Kentucky in 1816, it appears that is not the case from the following information found by Kim Holly. "Redstone Monthly Meeting House in Fayette Co., PA reads as follows Mar. 11, 1797: Mercy & children John, Benjamin, Isaiah, Robert, Mercy, Caleb, Gabriel & Rebecca, rec'd Kingwood MM, dtd 1796, 9, 8. There is a Jeremiah & w/ Joanna Wilson in this same MM house." This is definitely the wife and children of Robert Willson, Sr. However, since Robert is not listed in this move, it is likely that he died previous to 9/8/1796. There is a deed record for a Benjamin Wilson who received land in Guilford Co., NC in 1797 which might be a dispersal of land to his son, Benjamin after Robert dies that needs checked. (C-906)

I also descend through Esther's brother Gabriel, so the Dna matches this far back in time are likely showing up because we descend through two siblings of the Willson family.

WILLSON, Robert Sr. (I11708)

Robert, the oldest son of William the Conqueror, was bequeathed Normandy at his father's death. He tried to take England from his younger brother, Henry I, but was captured by him at Tenchebrai. Henry imprisoned him for the last 29 yearss life in Cardiff Castle. (Usherwood, Reign by Reign)

Roberta Keller's theory is that this Bartholomew is the Coppock who is the father of her Moses William Coppock (1736-aft 1768). He is the only Coppock whose children aren't known who is the correct age to be his father. The names of Milliam's children align fairly well with this family also. It is also conjecture on Roberta Keller's part that Bart is the son of Bart Sr.'s first wife, Rebecca Minshall. I tend to believe he was Phebe's son instead and born after brother Moses. I feel this way because brother Moses was the grandson who was listed in their grandfather, Bart's will. First grandson's are often listed in wills, suggesting that Moses is older than Bartholomew.

There was a marriage for a Bartholomew Coppock and Amy Cox in the 1730's of Wellingborough, Burlington Co., NJ that we were hoping applied to this Bartholomew. When Roberta Keller obtained the certificates for this couple she discovered that it didn't. Amy Coppock, widow of Bartholomew is administering his estate in 1836... years before the Bartholomew dies who is the son of Moses William Coppock.

COPPOCK, Bartholomew IV (I16790)

Roger came from Somerset Co., England early in the 1700's. He bought land in Burlington Co., NJ in 1696 or 1722 depending upon which 2nd hand source is read. (E) His children listed in his will were: John 1706 Newey, Joseph 1708, Joanna, Marmaduke 1710, Esther 1712, Edith 1714, and Roger, 1716. Of these, so far a marriage application for George Fenton Jr. somehow related to son Marmaduke has supported the fact that his parents surnames were Fort and Coates. "#213; George FENTON Jr. of Hanover Twp and County Burlington, and Marmaduke COATES (FORT) of the same place.....[bound to]....William LIVINGSTON, Governor...500 pounds...12 March 1777....certificate of marriage between George FENTON Jr...and Elizabeth SCRAGGY...[W] Wm SORSBY." (E) The Fort name is in parenthesis by the author who transcribed the record. Apparently, Marmaduke had signed his name as Marmaduke Coates Fort on this record and the author indicated that by putting the part of the missing name in the body with parenthesis.

FORT, Roger (I13884)

Roger de Bellomonte, as he is called in Hamilton's book, commanded an army against Malcolm III, King of Scotland, when he accompanied William the Conqueror in 1066. He finished his father's work on the Abbey of PReaux in Normandy. (C-1878

Roger was a Churchwarden in 1575 in South Petherton. This Roger could have had the title, Gentleman, and been married to Elizabeth who was buried in South Petherton, Somerset, England on January 9, 1593/1594. If so, he had a son named James who was buried on September 22, 1592 in South Petherton.

Roger Forte, Gentleman, wrote a will in 1608 in South Petherton. (F-472)

FORTE, Roger (Theory) (I13608)
