Dear Cousins, Tom King was asking if any of us had copies of Charles Breedlove's signature. I thought surely I must have, but I only have transcribed records. Places to check: Essex, VA Deed Book 13, p. 147. 1708 Sept. 9. Charles Breedlove signed as a witness to Susanna Smith's power of attorney to Edward Gouldman. The other witness [Daniel Tucker] made a mark. Essex, VA Deeds & Bonds #17, pp. 321-24. 1724, 1st & 2nd May. Thomas & Constant Edmondson & Charles & Mary Breedlove sold land that Constant & Mary inherited from Mary Webster. Essex, VA Wills, Bonds, etc. pp. 287-88. 1729, March 31 Charles Breedlove signed as one of the appraisers of the Inventory of the estate of William Brizendine. Essex, VA Wills, Bonds, etc. p. 357. 1730, April 20 Charles Breedlove signed as one of the appraisers of the Inventory of Abell Ward. Essex, VA Will Book 6, pp. 323, 324. charles Breedlove one of the appraisers of the estate of nico. Smith Jr. Essex, VA Probate Vol. 7, pp. 466-468. Charles Breedlove signed as one of the witnesses to the will of William Tribble. Then Charles Breedlove and Nathan Breedlove signed as Securities of the Administrators bond for Kindness Tribble to administer the estate of William Tribble. [3rd entry] Kindess Tribble, Charles Breedlove & Nathan Tribble acknowledged their bond. re: origin of Charles Breedlove. I agree [and have understood that others do too] that Charles Breedlove may have made up his name when he came to Virginia. Those were times of political unrest, and many settlers on the "wrong side" of the group currently in power, often took an alias. When you read the old court records, you sometimes find where a person "takes back" his former name, after a change in the political climate. Charles Breedlove just seems to pop up in 1708 in Essex Co.--he has no relatives until he marries. Another possibility is that his name was "foreign" [such as German] and was anglicized in the Essex records. Still, there were no others in the area, or in the COUNTRY, with the same name. Marilyn

This "Persecution" seems to be a problem with most of the Breedlove lines. My husbands ancestors were known to be "Hush-Hush". For a while we thought a Native American descent to be blame. However, After reading some of Elisha Breedlove's deposition in the "Mellungeon Trial" , We are finding this may not be true, although the Native American was only an assumption. We have noticed the fashion in which he answers the questions are of upmost literacy for the time. Suzie

It could entirely change the spelling, I have no idea. Doomsday book, pg 272b, in Derbyshire County, Hamenstan Wap., or shire, in the village of Essenbvrne there is listed a person by the name of BREDELOUUE paying taxes on two carucates of Crown Land. Pg 343, Col. 2, in Lincolnshire County, Calsvad Wapent, in Lavesbi village there is listed a person named BREDELOU paying taxes on nine carucates of land in "Epi Baiocensis". It appears that these early land holders were descendants of Danish warriors mentioned in Alfred's treaty with Guthrun in 878, who were descendants of Germanic and Teutonic tribes. It has been my own experience from copying all of the Breedlove's from the 1790-1920 censuses, that the closest variant spelling has been BREEDLOW. Everyone that I have found with that spelling on the censuses was born in GERMANY!!! The Breedlove Coat of Arms that Hope Perry Breedlove had on his wall were ascribed to a family named BREDELOW, of Pomerania, who were confirmed in the rank of Baron in 1862. Pomerania was in Prussia, on the south coast of the Baltic Sea, and was a part of the German Empire. Having said all this, I don't believe Charles Breedlove came from either England or Germany. Hope Perry and I talked about similar family legends that we had from our different branches of the Breedlove line, that Charles Breedlove changed his orginal name to Breedlove to avoid persecution for one reason or another, possibly religious. Even further, his name may not have been Charles originally! Charles may have come from England, but his orginal name was nothing like BREEDLOVE. Surely after over 50 years of combined research on his origins, someone would have found some similar name in English records, and THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED, even by noted genealogists in England. One glimmer of hope in finding the origins of Charles Breedlove would be for a handwriting expert to examine the actual writing of Charles, as each country has its own style of teaching penmanship. However all of the court documents I have found seem to be written by some court clerk, rather than by Charles himself. Does anyone know of any extant documents that have the actual writing or signature of Charles Breedlove???? For what it's worth, my best guess is Wales. Tom King

Just for curiosity sake, I tried to check in my German to English pocket size dictionary. The word breed is Zucht. Züchten is breeder. liebe is love. hunter is Jäger wolf is wolf This is straight definitions and does not account for the compounding of the words.

My husbands descends from Rueben and Priscilla (bolton) Breedlove, (1850 hamilton co. tenn.) His GGGuncle always said they were of Spaniard and German decent, We now know with proof of the "Great Melungeon Trial" of Hamilton Co. Tenn. in the 1870's that the Boltons were of Spaniard decent, So this would leave the Breedlove's as German decent. In our family of course, and without proof. Suzie

Dear Carole and all, One last email before I get to work. Looking in the current UK phone directory I do find some Bradlaugh's. Only a few, but that contrasts with *no* Breedloves (haven't any of our cousins ever gone there to live?). Similarly, the English 1851 census has a household of Bradlaugh, and a household of Bradlough, each in Middlesex county. So all of that's consistent with a Bradlaugh-to-Breedlove switch, though obviously not any sort of proof. Cheers, Marc Breedlove At 10:48 PM 6/13/99 -0700, Carole L.

Dear Carole and all, Hmm.... a search of the LDS site, www.familysearch.org turns up quite a few Bradlaugh (and Bradlaw, Bradlow, Bradlough). This engine requires that you put in a first name, so I tried Thomas Bradlaugh and got over a dozen "hits". Interestingly, there were all in England, none in the US. The search also pulled up some "Bradley"s and, of course, there were loads of those in the US. It's easy to imagine Bradlaugh was pronounced "Bradluff", but the only thing I really know about English is that it is very irregular in terms of predicting, from the letters of a word, how it is pronounced. Thanks to all for the replies. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing some trove of Breedloves in the UK. Cheers, Marc Breedlove At 10:48 PM 6/13/99 -0700, Carole L.

Marc, The name might have been changed from Bradlaugh in 1600 Virginia to Breedlove and stayed that way according to Martha Kahn (MNBKahn@aol.com). Source Breedlove e-mail list on Prodigy 10/14/97. In that case, they must have come from Britain. I have also read, in Ellen Byrne's notes or book (I think), that it could be a German name meaning 'hunter of wolves." In that case, they came over at some point from Germany.

Dear Breedlove list members, A subject I haven't seen come up here since I joined this list (only a few months ago) is where Charles Breedlove b1688 in VA came from. I had assumed from the UK, but doing a web search of telephone numbers, at several sites, including: http://www.lookupuk.com/phone.html turned up absolutely no Breedloves in the UK at all. Maybe they all have unlisted numbers, or maybe they died out there lately... But a search of the 1851 census in England at: http://rontay.digiweb.com/surnames/Default.htm similarly brought up no Breedloves (nor Breadloves, but there were several Breed's). So maybe they died out in Eng before 1851, or maybe Chas Breedlove didn't come from England. So is there another country Chas Breedlove might have come from to VA? What do we know?

Dear List Members: I am new to this list and wondered if anyone has ever heard of or seen the "Breedlove Genealogical History" by Hope Breedlove. It appears to have been a book which was privately published by Ms. Breedlove, probably in the late sixties or early seventies. I have, rather accidentally, acquired a Xerox copy of it. It is over three hundred pages in length, organized by states, and is comprised primarily of records abstracted from original sources (i.e., census, marriage records, wills, etc.) interspersed with Ms. Breedlove's comments and observations re how the various Breedloves may be related. There are no family group sheets, but may give researchers who are just getting started in a state an idea of which counties have records relating to Breedloves. I would be happy to do look-ups in it if anyone is interested. Linda W. Rohman cprohman@ix.netcom.com

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------8E368F8A27EA1A0A54C8CC48 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In rummaging through my research of many years ago, I have found many records that help to put the family and relationships together for Phillip Parr. It is not altogether clear that Judith Allaman was his only wife as I can't explain why his daughter Judith received property from her grandfather Thomas Allaman, yet daughters Mary and Constant received land from Mary Webster Webb, dau of John Webster, which would indicate their having a different mother or grandmother than Judith. It is also not clear that Phillip had a sister Mary who married Richard Carter, but Phillip is named nearest of kin when Mary dies and Richard Carter is named as brother in law(?) in Phillip's will. Dates given in the attached descendancy file are purely estimates and are just my best guess based on available records. The years don't seem to add up correctly. Robert Parr was of age when he came over in 1636 so it seems likely that he would have had children shortly thereafter. Phillip Parr could have been born anytime after 1636 so it seems strange that his children were all born after 1690. The 1648 birth for Ann Young is fairly well established, which means Robert Parr died sometime before 1647 when his widow married William Young, and that Phillip Parr was born before 1647. Incidently, the 1743 Essex Co. will of William Gatewood, husband of Katherine Carter #123 on the list, names my kinsman William Fletcher. Could this be the William Fletcher who marries Martha Carter, who are the grandparents of Sally Fletcher, wife of Charles Breedlove??????

This deed is important as it not only gives the name of the wife of Thomas Allaman [Contiten], but shows that Mary Parr [the grandmother of us all, who married Charles Breedlove] is the granddaughter of Thomas Allaman and is born by the date the deed was written [3 Aug. 1696]. The third Parr daughter, Constant, likely was not yet born, or she would have been mentioned by name in this deed. The 4th Parr daughter [Ann] was not born until after the date of her father, Phlip Parr's will [30 Dec. 1699] as Philip in his will calls her "the child my wife now goes with". Please note that in my posting yesterday, I incorrectly said the deed below was witten 6 Sept. 1686--THAT was the date Thomas Allaman first purchased the land from William Dudley. We don't actually know WHEN the deed was written, but Thomas Allaman acknowledged it on 3 Aug. 1696. I have earlier & later Thomas Allaman records, also.

Dear Breedlove Researchers, I'm responding to Tom King's posting on the wives of Thomas Allaman. First, thank you, Tom, for the Matthews Co. land entry describing land formerly belonging to Hugh Gynn, which bordered land of Thomas Allaman. I had never seen this entry, and it deserves a closer look. Somewhere I have additional information about the Armestead family, also mentioned in that deed. What is of the greatest interest to me though, is that you mention that the first wife of Thomas Allaman was named, Judith. This is news to me. What is your source for this? What I have for the wives of Thomas Allaman is as follows: Middlesex, VA Deed Book 3, part III, 1693-1703, pp. 138-139: ". . .Thomas ALLIMAN of Kingston Parish Glocestr: County for love & ye naturall affection I have and beare uto my well beloved Daughter Judith ye wife of Phillip PARR of the county of Middlesex. . .a tract of land in Middlesex County. . ." The deed goes on & says if Judith dies the land is to go to Judith, her daughter and if the daughter Judith dies without heirs to Mary the daughter of the elder Judith. I have a copy of the original deed and will post a full extract of it, if anyone is interested. The deed is signed by Thomas [mark] Alliman & Contiten [X] Alliman & is dated 6 Sept. 1686. The first name for "Contiten" is not written very clearly--it DOES look like "Contiten", but since Judith & Philip Parr named a daughter, Constant, I am assuming that Thomas Allaman's wife was ConStiten [Constantine]. But Contiten must have died for in the same deed book on p. 253, Thomas Alloman of Glocester County sold to William Churchill of Middlesex County a plantation in Middlesex. Thomas said that Sarah his wife would acknowledge the said land. Then the Middlesex County Court in 1700, pp. 384-385 says: "Wee present Mary Alloman for haveing a Bastard she previously being a Servant of Mr. Corbin Griffin, now wife of Thomas Allomin. February 3, 1700." So now the wife above is named, Mary. However in the Gloucester County, VA Overseer's Contract in 1707, Sarah Allman, widow, negotiates a contract with with her Overseer. So it appears that Thomas' widow's name is again, Sarah. So do we have four wives? 1. Contiten; 2. Sarah; 3. Mary; 4 Sarah. Actually, I think the name, Mary is a mistake. In the Virginia Colonial Decisions, "Barradall's Reports", in the squabble over Thomas Allaman's estate, it mentions that he married TWICE. It doesn't mention the name of either wife--only the names of the children he had by each wife [Judith by the first marriage; John, Thomas & William by the 2nd marriage]. So I am curious about your source that Thomas Allaman's first wife was named, Judith. Now I remember one Armistead reference. It was in 1682 when the wife of Thomas ALLMAN & the wife of Richard LONGEST were arrested for cutting up tobacco, and their husbands refused to post security for their good behavior. John Armistead arrested the ladies to answer to "the Governor & Councel att Middle Plantation. . ." Marilyn Owen

In researching the records of Colonial Gloucester Co., Virginia, I came across the follwing entry for Mathews County land, Gloucester Bk. 7, page 532, dated 30 Oct 1686, deed for 202.5 acres from Col. John Armistead & Mr. John Gwynn, in Kingston Parish, beginning at a mall pine on Eastwar side of a Branch near a Chappell...in line of..old Devident of Land formerly taken up by Col. Hugh Gwin decd. and sold by the said Gwin to Mr. William Armistead, decd...running SWS to line of Mr. William Elliott, Sr, along Elliotts line to line of Thomas Allaman to land o Col. John Armistea & over Gwins Dam to the beginning. While it hasn't been proven, YET, Dolly Gwynn, wife of Edward Broaddus, the grandparents of Sarah Broadus who married Thomas Breedlove, is either the daughter of the above mentioned Col. Hugh Gwin or his son John Gwynn. What I am searching for is possible wives for Thomas Allaman, father of Judith Allaman who married Phillip Parr. In those days to a large extent, people usually married someone who lived in close proximity. The above deed shows that Thomas Allaman lived near William Armistead, William Elliott and Hugh Gwynn. Have not tried to research this William Elliott but have looked for information on Hugh Gwynn for many, many years and have not found the names of any of his children except for one daughter. On the other hand, there is much data on the Armistead family and Judith appears to be a popular name. The above mentioned William Armistead (died 1671)had at least two sons who married a Judith and had daughters named Judith. The two daughters named Judith have marriages accounted for to John West & John Butts, or to Robert "King" Carter. However, it may be possible that one of the wives named Judith may have outlived the Armistead husband and remarried to Thomas Allaman. For the sake of argument, I have placed both Thomas Allaman and his 1st wife Judith's birth as about 1640, with Judith dying about 1670 when Thomas marries again. Thomas is listed on the 1705 Gloucester Quit Rent Roll in Kingston Parish with 842 acres and then dies in 1706 in Essex County. Has anyone else done any research on the Allaman family or have any ideas on who this Judith, 1st wife of Thomas Allaman, might be????? Tom King
