John, thank you for the info on the Berkeleys, however I don't have a connection there that I know of. According to other documentation, Berkeley was a pretty fair Governor during his first tenure (prox 1640-50), and then he was called home. When he was again made Governor/Proprietor in ca. 1660, he was considered to be a staunch Loyalist, disbanded the Burgesses, and put his own people in. Thus, I believe, the Bacon rebellion. He was called home to England, and died before he could get an audience with the King. My interest in Nansemond (where the DANIEL planter was killed ca. 1644), was to impart to someone one on the List the knowledge that there was a DANIEL with property in Nansemond PRIOR to the Nansemond Joseph DANIEL of 1714 that they inquired about. If they don't feel that earlier documented Nansemond information is of any value to them -- then so be it. A complete list of the Burgesses - names and tenure, is on-line, and it clear when Berkeley made his moves, and when the pendulum swung back. (DIANE -- I am sure you know that a bunch of Carringtons ( from Charlotte, etc) were among the Burgesses for quite a number of years). TTYL, Anne

Yes, that particular CARRINGTON line was quite prolific, as well as being very prominent. However, it is not the CARRINGTON family from which we believe my 4th gr grandfather, Rev. Timothy CARRINGTON came. Extant documentation, naming patterns and other clues point to the CARRINGTON family from Charles County, MD as being Rev. Timothy's ancestors. We should know if that is the case by mid-May since my CARRINGTON first cousin's Y-DNA results should be released by then. Diane
