I happened across your website & really enjoyed it, especially all the
excellent documentation. I noticed you referred to Dr. Bill McCarty's
book \endash he did publish it, and it's wonderful. He & I corresponded
quite a bit on the Popes & McCartys. I descend from Humphrey Pope SR and
Elizabeth Hawkins, & I'd like to point out a few corrections. I can
furnish documention for these facts.
1. Humphrey Pope SR was not a son of Thomas Pope.
2. Humphrey & Elizabeth (Hawkins) Pope didn't have a daughter "Jemima".
3. Elizabeth (POPE) McCarty, dau of Humphrey & Elizabeth, was born
1677, not 1667. Contact me at Loumurphy1@aol.com
<mailto:Loumurphy1@aol.com> Best regards, Lou
My return email.
This is a really dumb question, but I have several websites... which site are you referring to? Family Reunion? Benbrook? Vantine? or the Ancestry site?
Carol, I'll have to give you an equally dumb answer -- I dunno! I was just browsing via Google, looking for Pope-McCarty references. Anyway -- when you run across the one that has info on these families, here are the corrections you need to make.
1. Humphrey Pope wasn't the son of Thomas Pope. Thomas Pope's will , 3 Sep 1684 proved 3 Jan 1686 Westmoreland Co VA, named wife Joanna, sons Charles, Richard, John, Thomas & Nathaniel, & daus Mary, Elizabeth & Margaret. Truth is, we don't know who Humphrey's parents were. No known connection to Col. Nathaniel Pope.
By his own deposition, Humphrey SR was "24 or thereabouts" in 1673, when he made a deposition in Westmoreland Court, so he was born about 1648/9. (Westmoreland Co VA Deeds, Patents, etc 1665-1677, Part 4 by John Frederick Dorman) He married Elizabeth HAWKINS about 1670-73.
2. Humphrey SR & Elizabeth didn't have a daughter "Jemima". This error appeared in the Wm. & Mary article titled "Descendants of Humphrey Pope". It was a case of mistaken identity. Jemima WADDY, dau of Thomas Waddy, married 1st, John SPENCE, 2nd, Lawrence POPE (son of Humphrey SR) and 3rd, Nicholas MINOR. So her only claim to the Pope name was by virtue of her 2nd marriage. The author of the Wm. & Mary article evidently didn't know this. Proof is in the following documents:
(A) 29 May 1702 - Dorcas JORDAN, mother of John SPENCE dec'd, testfied that "Mr. Lawrence POPE & Jemima, his wife, who was the relict of her said son John Spence" were indebted to her for John Spence's funeral (W'moreland Deeds & Wills #3, 1701-1707 - John Frederick Dorman) The 5 children of Humphrey SR & Eliizabeth were Humphrey JR, Elizabeth, Lawrence, John, & Mary, all born between 1670-1684 & proved through W'moreland court & guardianship records.
(B) 28 Jun 1712 - Deed, Lawrence POPE & wife Jemimah, to Jemimah's brother Thomas WADDEY, for 300 acres. States that Thomas WADDEY SR bequeathed this land "to his daughter Jemimah by his will dated 28 Feb 1688"
(C) 30 Nov 1737 - Nicholas MINOR & Jemimah his wife "late relict of Lawrence POPE" sold land owned by Lawrence Pope, dec'd. (There's circumstantial evidence that Nicholas' first wife may have been Mary POPE, youngest daughter of Humphrey SR)
3. Elizabeth (POPE) McCarty, daughter of Humphrey SR & Elizabeth, was born 1677, not "1667" as is stated in "Paynes of VA". That was probably a typo by the printer. Bill McCarty has in his possession the fragment of Elizabeth's tombstone ledger that clearly shows her birthdate as 1677, & states she was the daughter of "Humphrey Pope, gent."
A few years ago, I posted all the corrections on Humphrey Pope SR on GENFORUM, on the POPE forum, titled "NEW INFORMATION on HUMPHREY POPE". Take a look at it. We were astonished at all the errors we found in printed sources. No wonder POPE researchers have been confused for almost 100 years by the Wm & Mary article & Payne's book. All the best, Lou Murphy
From Charlene Oerding -
Generation No. 634. Robert Fitzhugh, born 1743 in VA; died Bet. 1800 - 1810 in Logan Co., KY27. He was the son of 68. Col William Fitzhugh and 69. Ursula Beverley. He married 35. Margaret Bell Abt. 175727. 35. Margaret Bell, born Abt. 1740.
Notes for Robert Fitzhugh:
Robert Fitzhugh sold 155 acres to John Bales for 160 pounds VA currency on 26 Sep 1797 in Bedford, VA. He died between 1800 and 1810 in Logan, KY.
His father's will disowned him saying something to the effect that if Robert should return to the State he was to receive only 1 shilling because his father had provided him with a good living, and Robert had run off to the "late war".
The following is from a 1955 letter from Mary Trowbridge Elkins (a descendant of Solomon Fitzhugh):"The first records we have of Robert was when he went to Bedford Co., Virginia on a small farm and his son Peter was born in Bedford Co., VA in 1760. They paid taxes there from 1782-1797 and the record of Peter's, Robert , Jr., Hannah's marriages are there in Bedford Co. all before 1797. I saw a copy of the marriage records. The record shows also that they sold all this land they owned in Bedford Co. Sept. 26, 1797 about 155 acres. Some of the family were in the revolution, but so far no one has taken the trouble to prove it. Until now the family had not been traced. One relative got in to the D.A.R. on the strength of Robert Jr., but she traced the family wrong and we are to prove that now. In the tax lists of 1799 the first Robert, Peter and Robert Jr. are given as living in Logan Co. KY. After that only the names of Peter and Robert Jr. show on the tax lists. Walter Lane did this research. Robert Sr. must have died or gone back to Va. We know nothing more of him."
1787 Bedford Co. p. 194, Per. Prop. Tax List A: Robert, Sr. (1 horse, mare, colt, or mule and 3 cattle) not tithable. (Reasons for being exempt included: being a woman; being old and infirm---in which case one should be able to find in the county Order Books a law making him exempt; and an occupation of clergyman or professor. Certain political jobs--from constable---at county level--to governor---at the state level--made one exempt. White males between sixteen and twenty-one were subject to a county parish tithe, but not to the state poll tax. Indians were exempt. Persons living out of the county may be listed because they owned property in the county, but they themselves were exempt except in the county in which they resided. Sometimes the tax commissioner notes the county or state in which out-of-county taxpayers lived.)
p. 211 Taxpayers By Date Commissioner Received Their Lists. (The commissioner was required to note the day he visited each taxpayer. This makes it possible to rearrange the lists and determine probable neighbors.) Robert, Sr.--4/4----also Peter, Robert, Jr., and George Potter who married Robert, Sr.'s daughter, Hannah.
Cousin Jan Wolford of TX visited Logan Co., KY cemeteries in Sept. 1996 to locate Robert's grave--did not find it but found that of Robert's son, Robert in Terry Burying Ground.
(This line continues down through Solomon Fitzhugh.)
=====================================================================
According to Walter Guy Lane, first mention of Robert Fitzhugh is in the Bedford Country, Virginia, Deed Book, No.2 on page 198, dated May 24, 1763, when Richard Stith of Bedford on behalf of the executors of Richard Randolph deeded to Robert Fitzhugh of the same county 105 acres in Bedford County o the south side of Jones Fort of Otter River adjoining Yoatem, being part of the land conveyed by the executors of Richard Randolph, deceased, to the said Richard Stith by power of attorney, Nov. 7, 1761 and recorded in the General Court. Recorded, Bedford, May 23, 1763.
==========================================
(I have found that WGL was mistaken about this. The John F who m. E. Harrison was born in 1729/30 and not the brother of Robert.)
As Bedford County was cut from Lunenberg County in 1754, it is possible that Robert Sr. was previously a resident of Lunenberg County. His marriage license record to Margaret _________has not yet been found. However, the marriage license of John Fitzhugh, an unrecorded son of Major John, was found in Lunenberg records. On Jan. 31, 1760, he was married to Elizabeth Harrison. So it is possible that some members of this branch of the family were identified with this county before it was divided.
(From WGL's manuscript _Fitzhugh, Dawson, and Logsdon Family Lineages: Fitzhugh Narrative_
=======================================================================
WGL reported that "a recent search on Robert Jr.,'s burial lot has unearthed two stones with the initials R and M on them, which undoubedly indicates Robert Sr., and his wife, Margaret." This must have been in the 1940s or 1950s.
Children of Robert Fitzhugh and Margaret Bell are:17 i. Hannah Fitzhugh, born 20 August 1758 in Bedford Co., VA; died 16 February 1831 in Cooper Co., MO; married George Potter 11 June 1782 in Bedford Co., VA. ii. Peter Fitzhugh, born 28 May 1760 in Bedford Co. VA28; died 08 February 1828 in Logan County, KY28; married Nancy Dawson 27 June 1785 in Bedford Co. VA29; born Abt. 1762 in Bedford Co., VA; died Aft. 1831 in Independence, MO.
Notes for Peter Fitzhugh:
Peter (son of Robert Fitzhugh) was a participant in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse on 15 Mar 1781 in Guilford, NC. Received a land grant of 78 3/4 acres, which was surveyed 15 Aug 1799. The watercourse was listed as Little Whippoorwill and Big Spring Creek in Logan, KY. He appeared on the census of 1810 in Logan, KY. His headstone is inscribed "In memory of Peter Fitzhugh, who was born May 8th 1760, dec'd February (sic) 8th 1828". The plot next to him has no stone. Buried at Red River Meeting House Cemetery located 1 mile west of Schochoh, KY. His will was probated 3 Mar 1828 in Logan County, KY, with his estate left to wife, Nancy Fitzhugh, and children: George, John, Mary Marty, Gabriel, Sollaman (sic). Executor: Gabriel Fitzhugh. (This info from Sam Fitzhugh) (From Charleen: I have a photo of his headstone which Sam Fitzhugh took. Not all Peter's children were mentioned in his will.)
1787 Census: Bedford Co. Person Property Tax List A: Lists Peter.
Peter Fitzhugh was a native of VA, moved to Logan Co., KY, where he was afterwards engaged in general farming until his death. He served as a soldier in the war of 1812, enlisting with two of his brothers, both of whom were killed on the field of battle.

p. 24 of _Marriage Bonds of Bedford Co., VA 1755-1800_: PETER FITZHUGH and NANCY DAWSON, June 27, 1785. Robert Fitzhugh, surety. Consent of John Dawson, father of Nancy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to Walter Guy Lane, it is significant that Peter began selling his land in Bedford Co. in 1797. Perhaps the fact that people were migrating westward to what is now Kentucky, but which before 1792 was considered a part of Virginia, prompted the Fitzhughs to plan on moving to a new frontier. In January 1797, Peter and his wife, Nancy, sold to Bartlett Gaskins for 25 Pounds, 100 acres of Stony Fork of Otter River in Bedford Co being part of a survey of 248 acres granted to Peter by patent Aug. 20, 1794. On August 28, 1797 Peter deeded to John Boise for 40 pounds a tract of 140 acres in Bedford Co. near the Peaks of Otter adjoining Bartlett Gaskins.
Then on Sept. 26, 1797 Robert Fitzhugh, Sr., and wife, Margaret, Peter Fitzhugh and wife, Nancy, Robert Fitzhugh, Jr. and wife, Anne, sold to John Boles for 60 pounds all these tracts of land at present in the possession of the said Fitzhughs, lying in Bedford County on the branches of Stony Creek and bounded by the lands of Robert Boles, Robert Rosebrook, Abraham Carnes, and the Heirs of Thomas Wood, deceased, containing about 155 acres. (Note: John Dawson's wife was Susan Wood, Daughter of John Wood.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to WGL: Peter's will is as follows: To wife, Nancy, ample support out of estate during her life. To son George improvements he made and one half of my claim in land containing 78 acres. To son John the remaining half of said claim including his improvements. To daughter Mary (Polly) Moultry 40 acres to pass through my farm parallel with the row of trees and on the upper end of my farm. To Gabriel and Solomon balance of land, including house where I live, containing about 80 acres. To wife Nancy all my personal goods.

Notes for Polly Fitzhugh:
Polly's tombstone states that she was born in 1779 instead of 1769 which seems
to be the correct date. She is buried in Terry Cemetery, Logan Co., KY (see
Augie's file folder).
Generation No. 768. Col William Fitzhugh, born 13 April 1725 in Marmion, Stafford Co., VA34; died May 1791 in King George Co, VA35. He was the son of 136. John "Marmion" Fitzhugh and 137. Anne Barbara McCarty. He married 69. Ursula Beverley Abt. 1741. 69. Ursula Beverley, born Abt. 1729 in "Blandfield", Essex, VA; died Aft. 1766. She was the daughter of 138. William Beverley and 139. Elizabeth Bland.
Notes for Col William Fitzhugh:
William (son of John "Marmion" Fitzhugh) rose to become a member of the VA House of Burgesses, like his father and grandfather, and was there privileged to witness one of the most far reaching events to occur in the New World. It was in 1765 when Patrick Henry, a firey orator, revolutionary, (and also a direct ancestor of ours through the marriage of his granddaughter to Philip Fitzhugh, William's grandson, offered his Resolution against the Stamp Act. The following year, 1766, William had the pleasure of a visit at Marmion from Thomas Jefferson. (Hist. of the F. Family)
1787 Census: King George Co. listed William and sons Daniel, Phil, Theodoric, Beverly
Col William Fitzhugh built the present mansion at the Marmion Estate. (I think that this is wrong and that it was build about the time of William's birth by his father Major John Fitzhugh.) The living room of this house is now in the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
According to the DAR PATRIOT INDEX, 1990, William Fitzhugh had Patriotic Service during the Rev.
There is recorded in King George a deed dated May 31, 1786, from William Fitzhugh, of Marmion, and Hannah his wife. Also a deed dated March 6, 1780, from William Fitzhugh, of King George County, conveying to his son Daniel Fitzhugh, 1,200 acres "where Rappahannock Quarter now stands," purchase by John Fitzhugh, father of said William from John Lisle, merchant, of London, by deed dated October 26, 1725, and recorded in Lancaster Co., July 13, 1726. He was probably the William Fitzhugh, Jr., who was major in the Stafford militia in 1752 (Cal. Va. State Papers). It is possible that he, instead of William Fitzhugh, afterwards of Maryland (who, as appears from a deed, lived in Cople parish, Westmoreland, in 1744), was burgess for Stafford 1748 and 1751. His will was dated March 13, 1789, and proved in King George June 2, 1791. Legatees: to wife her clothes, all her jewels, her gold watch, such furniture, plate and books as she should choose, the coach and horses, eight slaves, and, during her widowhood, the Marmion plantation mansion, with houses, gardens, orchards, a supply of groceries, &c., and also 60 pounds per annum. He states that he had provided for his sons, Daniel (McCarty) and Theoderick. Gives son John the negroes he had lent him. To son Philip the remainder of the estate not otherwise bequeathed. If son Robert should return to the State he is to have one shilling, "because at the commencement of the late war he quitted the business I had allotted for his living, since which I have heard nothing from him.' Son William Beverley Fitzhugh, two negroes. Daughter Lucy Campbell 600 pounds, Daughter Elizabeth 500 pounds if she marries, if not 25 pounds per year. Same provision for daughter Anna. Bequests to daughters Sall, Molly and Maria, and daughter Finch. William Hooe, of "Pine Hill,' and "my son-in-law" Alexander Campbell, executors. (Virginia Historical Magazine)
William Fitzhugh, son of John and Anna Barbara Fitzhugh, was baptized on May 14, 1725. God Fathers: Colonel John Tayloe and Daniel McCarty. God Mothers: Madam Sarah McCarty and Winwood (sic) McCarty.
Westmoreland Co., VA. Book V. p. 510 show that "John Fitzhugh of Stafford Country, Gent." married Anna Barbara, the eldest daughter of Daniel McCarty, Gent., of Westmoreland county before or about Dec. 5, 1715. (_St. Paul's Parish Register 1715-1798_ compiled by John Bailey Calvert Nicklin, p. 75, note 18)
In 1797 Marmion was purchased by Major George Lewis (1757-1821), nephew of George Washington, and is now in possession of his descendant Mrs. Robert Carter Nicholas Grymes (nee Lucy Lewis)---
this info is dated 1961. Doctor Robert Wellford (1753-1823), physician of Fredericksburg, was several days at Marmion attending Catherine (Daingerfield) Lewis (1764-1820), wife of Major George Lewis, in her last illness. As Doctor Wellford sat by the fire in the little parlour at Marmion on a cold day in February 1820 he wrote in his diary, reflecting upon former days:"At the particular desire of Mrs. Lewis I remained the whole day in the house and slept on the subsequent night once more and for the last time in the little parlour in which room in time past I have witnessed such sociality and more merriment that in any other room in the whole course of my life. ....
Mr. William Fitzhugh, the hospitable owner of the mansion (Marmion) and the estate surrounding same, his sons, his brother Daniel, and his son William; the Rev. Thomas Thornton; that truly respectable Gentleman, the late William Fitzhugh (of Chatham); Mr. Grymes of the Wilderness and his namesake of Eagle's Nest; Mr. Robert Allison; Mr. John McCoy (with the musicians, Victor, Olliver, &c. in the subordinate range of assembly) formed a group not often collected together in the Northern Neck of Virginia. But they are all gone and 'the place that hath known them shall know them no more.' The worthy proprietors of this most hospitable mansion are also removed from the cares of this world and are (I sincerely hope) at rest in Heaven although the place of their interment in the Graveyard of the Old Orchard cannot (from the changes that have occurred) be easily found by their former friends and acquaintances." (The Register of Overwharton Parish compiled by King, p. 227.)

Notes for Ursula Beverley:
Ursula Beverley was the daughter of Col William Beverley and Elizabeth Bland of "Blandfield", another VA plantation. 61 of his ancestors and 7 of hers are know to us. (Hist of F Family)
_St. Paul's Parish Register 1715-1798_ compiled by John Bailey Calvert Nicklin, p. 75, note 20:
The will of William Beverley of "Blandfield," Essex County, probated 3 May, 1756, mentioned his daughter, Ursula Fitzhugh.
Children of William Fitzhugh and Ursula Beverley are:i. John Fitzhugh, born Abt. 1742 in King George Co., VA36; died Abt. 1796 in Caroline Co., VA37; married Lucy Redd Abt. 1781 in Hanover Co., VA38; born Abt. 1749 in of Caroline Co., VA39; died Aft. 1796 in Amherst Co., VA39.
Notes for John Fitzhugh:
John was a soldier of the Rev. War. (Pioneer Families of MO by Wm. S. Bryan and Robert Rose, 1876) Practiced law.

Notes for Philip Fitzhugh:
Philip leased "Langley" from Henry Lee in 1805.
VA Historical Mag.: From a record in King George it appears that in 1797, "Marmion" was surveyed at the request of Philip Fitzhugh. It contained 1,821 acres, and the "Rappahannock Tract," adjoining, contained 792 acres. Both had belonged to William Fitzhugh, father of Philip. About 1800, is a deed in King George from Philip Fitzhugh and Charlotte, his wife, and Daniel McCarty Fitzhugh, and Ann, his wife, conveying the "Rappahannock Tract" to Hooe and Wallace. There is also in King George a deed dated June 9, 1804, from Philip Fitzhugh of Fairfax County, conveying land in King George to Daniel McCarty Fitzhugh, of Fairfax. Daniel Fitzhugh (no doubt the same) and Susanna Potter were married in King George, October 24, 1772. In a case in one of the Virginia reports, it is stated that Philip Fitzhugh, son of William Fitzhugh, of Marmion, inherited a very large real and personal estate; but died in 1807, utterly insolvent..
Generation No. 8136. John "Marmion" Fitzhugh, born Abt. 169248; died 21 January 1732/33 in Stafford Co., VA49. He was the son of 272. William (the Immigrant) Fitzhugh and 273. Sarah Tucker. He married 137. Anne Barbara McCarty 05 December 1715 in Westmoreland Co., VA50. 137. Anne Barbara McCarty, born 1700 in Westmoreland Co., VA51; died 12 December 1737 in Stafford Co., VA52. She was the daughter of 274. Captain Daniel McCarty and 275. Elizabeth Pope.
Notes for John "Marmion" Fitzhugh:
John Fitzhugh (son of Wm the Immigrant) owned the Marmion Estate. Ann Barbara McCarty was the daughter of Dennis McCarty. John Fitzhugh was known as Major John. In Feb. 1727, his name appears among many others as a Trustee in the founding of the Town of Falmouth, undoubtedly a commercial venture. There is also a letter written by one Anne Jones on June 27, 1732, in which she refers to Major John Fitzhugh's copper mine in VA. (Hist. of the Fitzhugh Family)
Marmion, probably built by John Fitzhugh early in 18th century and later named for Scott's poem. About 1785 it passed from Philip Fitzhugh to George Washington's favorite nephew, who died there. The place has come down in the Lewis family in direct line from him. The richly decorated interior is one of the best in Virginia. Location--King George County, 2.3 mi. west of King George (east of Fredericksburg)
(Source: _A Guidebook to Virginia's Historical Markers_ compiled by John S. Salmon. University Press of Virginia.)
Marmion still stands but is not open to the public.
Solomon Fitzhugh (1804-1884) who came to OR in 1849 is from this line.
Notes for Anne Barbara McCarty:
Excerpt from Bill McCarty's unfinished book ms., _The McCartys of the Northern Neck_:
Anna Barbara McCarty (1700-?) was the eldest (proven by the inscription that was on the McCarty tomb in Old Yeomocico church listing the children). She was born ca. 1700 (Capt. Daniel was m. 19 Oct 1699) and m. Major John Fitzhugh of MARMION in StafCo by 5 Dec 1715 (MRC:246*), (VMHB, VII: 317-19*). It appears that Anna Barbara was only 15 at the time of her marriage. We know that Capt. Daniel McCarty was pleased by this marriage because on 5 Dec 1715, he made a deed of trust of 9 negro slaves (six females with "one large girl" and three males) for the newlywed couple (WCo DB 5:510-13*). Another reason for his pleasure might have been that he was married to the widow (Ann Lee Fitzhugh of John's eldest brother (Wm Fitzhugh). Thus John Fitzhugh was both son-in-law and brother-in-law to Capt. D. McCarty. Even more indicative of his regard for John Fitzhugh, Capt. D. McCarty made him executor of his will and John Fitzhugh was to "take the tree youngest children" to raise. Perhaps Capt. D. McCarty remembered his own childhood when he had non-related guardians. By Maj. John Fitzhugh, Anna Barbara had seven children. In SPVF, this is described as the MARMION branch of the Fitzhughs.

===============================
From _The Register of Overwharton Parish Stafford County Virginia 1723-1758_ compiled and edited by George Harrison Sanford King, 1961
Daniel Fitzhugh (1733-1786) married three times and left issue a child by each wife, viz: (1) Catherine, probably nee Hore, who is mentioned as a granddaughter of John Triplett of King George County in a deed there in 1766 - she was the mother of his only son, William Fitzhugh, mentioned by Doctor Wellford; (2) in 1771 to Alice Riden (Riding) and (3) in 1772 to Susanna Potter. By his last will and Testament of record in Westmoreland County, William Fitzhugh (I think the author must mean Daniel) requested that he be buried "in my brother William's burial ground." Daniel Fitzhugh's will was dated September 17, 1777 and recorded March 28, 1786; it indicates his three wives predeceased him. Jane, his daughter by his second wife, married on June 17, 1790 Henry Dade Hooe, and Susanna, his daughter by his third wife, married on May 13, 1790 Rice Wingfield Hooe.138. William Beverley, born 1696 in "Beverley Manor", Augusta Co., VA72; died 28 February 1756 in "Blandfield", Essex Co., VA73. He was the son of 276. Robert Beverley, Jr. and 277. Ursula Byrd. He married 139. Elizabeth Bland. 139. Elizabeth Bland, born 29 May 1705 in "Jordan's", Prince George Co., VA74. She was the daughter of 278. Richard Bland and 279. Elizabeth Randolph.
Notes for William Beverley:
No record of the dates of the birth and death of Col. William Beverley had been preserved, although it was thought he was born about 1696 and died about 1756. But on April 16, 1929 a gold "mourning ring" was unearthed, while working a road in the town of Urbana, a few miles from "Blandfield", by Mr. J. Walter Hazlewood. On this ring, which is in perfect condition and a beautiful piece of art, is inscribed "The Hon. William Beverley, Ob. Feb. 28, 1756, al 60". It is evidently one of the old time "mourning rings", which it was customary in the 18th and part of the 19th centuries, in Virginia, for persons of position to provide by will, as gifts of remembrance to their children, grandchildren, and closest friends. This ring was purchased from Mr. Hazlewood by the late William Beverly of Winchester, a great great great grandson of Col. William Beverley, and give to his sister Rebecca Duval Beverley who now, 1-'45, has it.
(from _The Beverley Family of Virginia_ p. 535)
Before 1750 William Beverley (1698-1756), son of Robert Beverley, the historian and grandson of Robert Beverley, the immigrant, build Blandfield, which he named for his wife, Elizabeth Bland. He acquired this large plantation about 1730. Blandfield was stripped of its fine paneling when the parches were added seven years before the War between the States. During the war much of the furniture and all the portraits were taken away by Union soldiers. (p.451---but of what book?
Children of William Beverley and Elizabeth Bland are:i. John Beverley, died 174375 ii. Elizabeth Beverley, born 15 January 1724/2576; died 03 October 179577; married (1) James Mills 21 August 174377; married (2) Thomas Griffin Peachy 22 September 178377 iii. Anna Beverley, married Col. Robert Munford 69 iv. Ursula Beverley, born Abt. 1729 in "Blandfield", Essex, VA; died Aft. 1766; married Col William Fitzhugh Abt. 1741. v. Robert Beverley, born 21 August 1740 in "Blandfield", Essex Co., VA78; died 04 December 180079; married Maria Carter 02 March 176379; born 22 November 1745 in "Sabine Hall", Richmond Co., VA79; died 21 August 1817 in Williamsburg, VA80.
Notes for Robert Beverley:
Like the sons of many other wealthy Virginians, Robert Beverly was educated in England. Upon his return to the Colony, unlike other young well-to-do Virginians, he sought no political post, but led a quiet life with his friends and family. The only office he ever held was that of Magistrate. He was once elected to the State Legislature--1780--but did not take his seat. He was so conservative that at the time of the Revolution his feeling was that the Colony should not break away from the mother country. In addition to "Blandfield", he owned the "Elkwood tract" of 13,000 acres in Culpeper Co., which he left to his son Munford, who sold in in 1805 to Daniel Grinnon, who built" Presque Isle", which is still standing (in the 1940s) and owned by the Willis family.

Notes for William (the Immigrant) Fitzhugh:
William (the Immigrant) Fitzhugh came to America about 1674 (or 1670 depending on who you believe). He was well educated, a shrewd business man, a lawyer, and was religious. His church was the established church of England. The only thing he regretted about America was the lack of good schools. He wrote: "Good education of children is almost impossible and better be never born than ill bred." He owned 54,000 acres or more of land with four big houses on them. The houses were Eagle's Nest, Bedford, Bellaire, and Boscobel. ( I need to look up the documentation for this.)
William Fitzhugh came to Westmoreland County, a young lawyer whose family may have been descended from the Fitzhughs, barons of Ravensworth. The family coat of arms had been recorded in 1566 and if his view of life was thus somewhat baronial there was nothing in the new world to stand in the way of achieving his ideal. Lord Culpepper before him had laid claim to all of the Northern Neck of Virginia and had proved his claim and Robert Carter after him was to carve an actual Kingdom from the new territory. (We now know that it's the wrong coat of arms and have no proof that he was descended from the barons of Ravensworth.)
William Fitzhugh married Sarah Tucker of Westmoreland and moved to Stafford County where he built Bedford on the Potomac. He practiced law, served in the House of Burgesses and was a Lt. Col. in the Stafford militia. He was also agent for the Fairfaxes who inherited the Northern Neck from Lord Culpeper. It was during this tenure that he confirmed the grant of Ravensworth in what was then upper Stafford County. He had bought the grant from a man named John Matthews in 1685 and had it regranted and finally confirmed by 1694. His was 21,996 acres paralleling the (John) Alexander grant, later Alexandria, and covering the approximate territory from what is now part of Falls Church to Pohink Church and from the present Fairfax Court House almost to Alexandria.
Colonel Fitzhugh was not, as some of the historical novelists would have us believe our forefathers were, unscrupulous, brash, and fascinatingly immoral. The records indicate that he was religions, hones, and a fine lawyer, quoted the Scriptures while pleading a case. He was very sympathetic to French Huguenots who fled France when the Edict of Nantes was revoked by Louis XIV. Unlike the Sun King, he looked upon them as the most desirable of citizens and offered them land to settle.
At his death Colonel Fitzhugh left approximately 50,000 acres of land in Virginia besides property in Maryland and England to his five sons and one daughter. The Ravensworth tract was divided between two sons, Henry and William, Henry receiving 12,585 acres to the north and William a little over 9,000 to the south.

"June 14, 1682. Minutes of Board of Trade and Plantations. The addresses of the Assembly and the Governor of Virginia, and several speeches of Mr. Fitzhugh were read, showing the people are extremely desirous of a cessation of planting tobacco."
In a letter dated April 22, 1686, William Fitzhugh describes his dwelling house: "Upon this same land is my own dwelling house furnished with all accommodations for a comfortable and gentle living, with rooms in it, four of the best of them hung (with tapestry), nine of them plentifully furnished with all things necessary and convenient, and all houses for use, furnished with brick chimneys, four good cellars, a dairy, dove cote, stable, barn, henhouse, kitchen and all other conveniencys, and all in a manner new, a large orchard of about 2,500 apple trees, most grafted, well fenced with a locust fence, which is a durable as most brick walls, a garden a hundred foot square, well paled in, a yard wherein is most of the aforesaid necessary houses palisaded in more lasting than any of our bricks."

It is out of print. In the fall of 1996 Cousin Elizabeth Butler of Fredericksburg, VA informed me that there were still some copies at the VHS. I called, ordered my copy (they still had "a couple of dozen" copies), and then e-mailed all my Fitzhugh contacts. In 1 1/2 weeks all the copies were gone.....for the 1963 price of $10.00! The only way it can be obtained now is to have a bookstore do a search.)
Notes for Sarah Tucker:
"In that same year, 1674, Rose's daughter, Sarah (Tucker), who had reached the age of eleven, was chosen by William Fitzhugh to be his bride. And, Rose apparently consenting to the marriage, recorded her deed of gift 26 August 1674, written the day before (Ibid., pp.200-201, Abstractors Vol 3 p 10) 'In consideration of a marriage had and contracted between Wm. Fitzhugh and my eldest daughter Sarah'---
giving to him numerous items, including two negroes, cattle, a gelding, jewelry and many household items 'from the place known as Mr. Tucker's Plantation;, no doubt fulfilling part of the wording of Sarah's father's will.
"The story is well told in 'Wm Fitzhugh and his Chesapeake World' (1963) - R. B. Davis, Introduction pp 10, 11, saying that 'Family tradition insists that the young husband sent his wife to England for two years of education before the marriage should be consummated,' etc. As related also, young William Fitzhugh, bpt 1651, Bedfordshire, England, had come alone to the Colony of Virginia, apparently to try his fortune, and settle in Westmoreland Co., then later in Stafford Co. where in 'two and a half years after his marriage, the young lawyer-planter was elected to the House of Burgesses from Stafford Co.' He became a prominent citizen and large land holder."
(From Dorothy Helmer's manuscript about the Nethertons, thanks to Jean Camas)
Children of William Fitzhugh and Sarah Tucker are:i. Daughter Fitzhugh, born 167884; died 167884 ii. William "Eagle's Nest" Fitzhugh, born 1679 in "Bedford", King George Co., VA85; died December 1713 in buried at Eagle's Nest, King George, VA86; married Anne Lee 169986; born 1782 in Westmoreland Co., VA86; died 12 January 1731/32 in Eagle's Nest, King George, Co, VA86.
Notes for William "Eagle's Nest" Fitzhugh:
Captain William Fitzhugh of "Eagle's Nest" inherited 1800 acres of land in Stafford and Westmoreland Counties. He was the Justice of Stafford Co., and High Sheriff in 1707; member of the House of Burgesses in 1700, and a Governor of the College of William and Mary in 1702.
William Fitzhugh inherited under his father's will 18,723 acres of land in Stafford and Westmoreland; was residuary legatee of all lands not bequeathed, and rights to lands in Virginia, Maryland and England; eight negroes; 18 pieces of silver plate; L200 sterling out of his father's money in England; half the household furniture; "my own and my wife's pictures, the other six pictures of my relations, and the large map in the study", half of his father's "study of books", & c. He was appointed clerk of Stafford county, July 18, 1701, and was a member of the House of Burgesses for that county, 1700, 1701 and 1702 (Stafford Records). Possibly he was a member in other years. On Dec. 13, 1711, the Lords of Trade and Plantations presented a representation to the Queen, recommending William Fitzhugh, Esq., as a person fully qualified to fill a vacancy in the Council, being a good estate, and being well affected towards her Majesty's government (Sainsbury Abstracts). The appointment made on Dec. 19 and Fitzhugh took the oaths in Virginia, October 15, 1712 (Council Journal). His tenure of office was short, for his last appearance in Council was in Nov. 8, 1713, and Jan. 27, 1713-14, there is an entry in the Council Journal that he was dead. Besides the offices named, Wm. Fitzhugh was a justice of Stafford, and high sheriff in 1707. If he made a will it was doubtless recorded in Stafford, but the books of that date have been lost. He married Ann, daughter of Richard Lee, Esq., of Westmoreland county (member of the counci)l. (Sent to me by Ruth and Robert Teesdale)
Boscobel was conveyed to the William Fitzhugh in 1692 according to Jerrilyn Eby, author of _They Called Stafford Home_.
Notes for Anne Lee:
Ann Lee married secondly , Captain Daniel McCarty, of Westmoreland county, speaker of the House of Burgesses 1715-20.
From Westmoreland Co. Wills p. 94:
"Anne McCarty 7 Nov 1728; 31 May 1732. To each of my own brothers and their wives a ring; a ring to Col. John Tayloe; son Henry Fitzhugh all my lands, my 1st wedding ring and my grandfather Corbin's mourning ring; to Elizabeth dau. of Major J. Fitzhugh a gold ring; to daughter Lettice 2 negroes; dau.

Fitzhugh and Thomas and Henry Lee from the bills of exchange to my late husband McCarty. Negroes in the hands of the husband of my daughter Lettice to be hers."
===================================
Anne Lee had grown up at Mt. Pleasant with her five brothers in a most erudite atmosphere. Her father, "who neither improved nor diminished his estate" could write in Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, but he paid little attention to his business
affairs, he left Anne 4000 acres in Stafford county that he no longer owned.
Her tombstone in the family cemetery (at Eagle's Nest) reads:

Notes for Henry "Bedford" Fitzhugh:
Henry (son of Wm the Immigrant) was the scholar of the generation: he was sent at age eleven to Bristol to school and to Westminster School at age 14, and to Christ Church, Oxford, matriculating on Oct. 30, 1722. Later became a Tobacco Agent, Justice of the Peace and Burgess, and was know as "Blind Henry" because, judging by his portrait, he had one bad eye.
Henry, born at Eagles Nest, built the Bedford Estate in VA, married, and died there. (p.171) He and Susannah had 9 children (p.172)
(History of the Fitzhugh Family pp. 55 and 56)
Member of the Assembly Resolution of 1720, Virginia assembly. (Hist. Soc. of Fairfax Co., VA vol 3 1954 p.19)
Henry Fitzhugh inherited Bedford plantation and married Susannah Cooke, the daughter of Mordecai Cooke of Gloucester County. He was born in 1686 and died in 1758. His half of the Ravensworth patent remained in the family intact until his grandson Henry Fitzhugh who also lived at Bedford partitioned it in 1783 among his five younger sons, Nicholas, Richard, Mordecai, Battaile, and Giles. By the end of this generation the northern half of the tract had been sold out of the family.

Notes for Thomas "Bell Aire" Fitzhugh:
Thomas (son of Wm. the Immigrant) was County Clerk in 1714. His wife was the daughter of George Mason. They had 1 daughter.
Thomas Fitzhugh, Gentleman, (c. 1689-1719) received by the will of his father nearly 5,000 acres of land. A tract of 1,1oo acres lay near Fredericksburg. At the time of Thomas Fitzhugh this property was in Richmond County and his last will and Testament is recorded there. He served as clerk of Stafford Co. a few years, dying in office. Thomas Fitzhugh married Anne Fouke (Mason) Darrell, daughter of Col. George and Mary (Fowke) Mason, and widow of William Darrell (16??-1715) by whom she had a son Sampson Darrell (1712-1777) who died testate in Fairfax Co., Thomas and Anne Fowke (Mason) Fitzhugh had an only child, Mary Fitzhugh, who died in infancy.

KY. As Thomas Fitzhugh, Gentleman, died without male issue and his father had entailed his estate, his property came into possession of William Fitzhugh, Esq. (1741-1809) and in 1769 he built the handsome brick mansion called Chatham upon the land overlooking Fredericksburg.

Daniel McCarty, Esq. buried : Old Yeocomico Church, VA. He was Burgess, Justice and Sheriff of Westmoreland, in 1715-20; he was speaker of the Assembly.
The Southern Churchman, in 1999 published the following:
"Close to the base of the right and east gable is the rocky foundation of a vault, to size 15x18 feet; it is now a greaay mound with several cedar trees growing up it. Near the center of this mound is a gray stone tablet, much defaced by time. and it was only after repeated efforts that I have finally suceeded in making out the inscription, which is as follows: 'Here lyeth the body of Daniel McCarty, who departed this life the fourth of -----1724. In the forty-fifth year of his age. He was endowed with many virtues and good qualifications, but the actions proceeding from them bespeak their praise. Here also lyeth the body of Thaddeus McCarty, youngest son to Danile McCarthy (sic), Esq., who died the 7 of Frebruary, 1731, in the 19th year of his age.
"Near this place likewise is the body of Penelope, wife to Daniel McCarty, second son of Daniel McCarty, Esq., and daughter to Christine Higgens, Gent, who departed this life the 26 of March, 1732, in the 19 year of her age, with one child."

Notes for Elizabeth Pope:
Married first to William Payne, by whom she had 4 children, whose descendants are listed in "Paynes of Virginia," by Co. Brooke Payne. A. L. Keith in _William & Mary Quarterly_ writes: Col. Daniel McCarty was buried at Yeocomico Church. In 1907 as his tomb was being righted, an unknown and unsuspected slab was found beneath his tomb. This slab is hopelessly defaced in places, but it still gives very valuable information. It marks the burial place of Elizabeth, first wife of William Payne and second of Daniel McCarty."
Clara S. McCarty, "McCarty's of Virginia": "It reads:......the body of Elizabeth........er of Humphrey Pope, Gent. by. . . . id wife. First the wife of ye Gentleman to whom sh . . . ns and two daughters and last Daniel McCarty, Esq. to . . . was married the 19th of October . . .ore four sons and four daug . . .

(quote from Payne History) "Here lyeth the body of Elizabeth, daughter of Humphrey Pope, Gentleman, by Elizabeth, his wife. First the wife of William Payne, Gentleman, to whom she born to sons and two daughters, and lastly of Daniel McCarty, whom she was married the 19th of October 1678 (sic--1698?; 1678 not possible if he was born 1679), and bore four sons and four daughters. She was born . . . of June 1667." (sic)
W. M. McCarty says Capt. Danile McCarty's will mentions his first wife's children Elizabeth Sherman (Sturman?) and Mary Burns (nee Payne).

Notes for Robert Beverley, Jr.:Robert Beverley, Jr., historian of Virginia, the second son of Major Robert Beverley, was "born on his father's dwelling plantation in Middlesex Co., and was sent thence, for education, to England, being there at the time of his father's death in 1686." He inherited the "Poropotank" plantation, in Gloucester Co. and "Beverley Park", in King and Queen Co., upon which basis he served as Clark for that county. He owned considerable other property and was well off. He was interested in agriculture, especially in the growing of grapes for wine and thought that the production of wine should be developed in America as one of its industries, and he did some experimental work on that subject. He is best known, however, for his "History of the Present State of Virginia", which for many years was used in the schools and had six editions in all---one being translated into French, followed by two 'pirated' editions of the French translation.
(from _The Beverley Family of Virginia: Descendants of Major Robert Beverley (1641-1687) and Allied Families_ compiled by John McGill (Deceased 1951), The R. L. Bryan Company, Columbia, SC, 1956.)
The second Robert Beverly (1673-1722), in 1705 published his _History and Present State of Virginia_, which included an unbiased account of his father's career. The work has survived for two centuries, because of its originality, shrewd observations, and humorous comments. (p. 453 but of what book?)

(Virginia Historical Magazine)
Notes for Rosanna Sturman:
Re: Rose's maiden name----footnote from _The Fitzhugh Family of King George Co., VA_ by Elizabeth N. Lee:
Norma Tucker, _Virginia Colonials and Their Maryland Relatives_, (Baltimore, 1994), p. 35. The maiden name Sturman is not positively proved but Norma Tucker gives evidence that leads one to believe that this is most likely correct.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The will of Rose Newton, widow, was proved in Westmoreland, January 28th, 1712. She gave her son Thomas Newton her lands in Virginia and Maryland and all rents and arrearages for lands left her by her former husband Thomas Gerrard, &c, &c. Thus it appears that Thomas was omitted in his father's will, and the only child named in his mother's.
