Hello, Re: <<We have Thomas Cawsey coming to VA in 1620 and in two locations by 1624. In 1624 he is in Charles City Co with Nathaniel and his wife.What is the relationship between Thomas and Nathaniel whose wife was Thomasine in 1609? How old was Thomas in 1624, if he married Elizabeth Southy at some time, who had several children in 1624 when her husband died? Was he married in 1624? I think I can answer that, but first I need to send another post or two.

(See following) I am probably jumping in in the middle and may have missed previously conversation regarding same...but do you know if Elizabeth SOUTHY and Thomas CAWSEY or Thomasine and Nathaniel CAWSEY. Did either of these couples have a daughter named Elizabeth CAWSEY? A date of birth in the timeframe around 1624 would put a child named Elizabeth CAWSEY, born to one of these couples or related somehow, into the right timeframe and the right location to have been the Elizabeth CAWSEY/CAUSEY who married a man named ? HOWELL, possibly, as her 1st husband, if, indeed, she was a CAWSEY by birth. Then this Mrs. Elizabeth CAWSEY HOWELL married as her 2nd/3rd husband, (Sir) John EARLE, as his 2nd wife, after the death of his 1st wife, Mary SYM(M)ON(D)S, in 1659. John and Elizabeth married in 1660, a few months after Mary's death, and then (Sir) John EARLE, died in September 1660 at the age of 48 years having been born in 1612 in Nye, Winscombe, Somersetshire, England. He died at his estate "Spring Neck," Earle's Creek, Yeocomico Plantation, Northumberland County, Virginia, which he had built for his 1st wife, Mary, and their children, 3 of whom immigrated with their mother in 1652, Samuel, Mary, and son, John, while the 4th child, William, stayed to finish his education in England and immigrated later. Their father, (Sir) John EARLE, had immigrated in 1649 after visiting America previously and upon his immigration in 1649 into St. Mary's County, Maryland he immediately went into Northumberland County, Virginia where he acquired Yeocomico Plantation from the Indians and built "Spring Neck" which would later be inherited by his 2nd wife, Mrs. Elizabeth CAWSEY HOWELL EARLE, who married, again, to 3rd/4th husband, William CLEMENT, a few months after the death of John EARLE in September 1660. Looking forward to hearing from anyone who might be able to help identify this Elizabeth CAWSEY. Thank you.

He came to Virginia in 1620. In 1620, Nathaniel Cawsey, who came in 1607, and his wife Thomasine, who came in 1609, were living with 5 servants at Charles City. The town of Charles City was at the present City Point, at the mouth of the Appomattox. The lands belonging to these men was called, after the alliterative fashion of the time, " Cawsey's Care," and was represented under that name in the House of Burgesses in 1632. From this name was derived the later "Cawsons," long a seat of the Bland family, and the birthplace of John Randolph of Roanoke.
