Ruth, I found with luck that I had sent the attached to Jerry some weeks ago and still had it on file. Earlier I had typed you out a similar response and then hit the wrong f---king button and lost it all. I am sending you some additional comments by snail-mail. >Date: Mon, 12 Apr 1999 16:30:07 -0400 >To: jbquinn@visi.net >From: William G Kornegay <kornegay@educ.umass.edu> >Subject: Thomas Savage and Hannah Tying >Cc: ppaschal@weblnk.net, wmabry@connectu.net > >>X-From_: kornegay@educ.umass.edu Mon Apr 12 15:51:27 1999 >>Date: Mon, 12 Apr 1999 15:52:04 -0400 >>From: "William G.

My >>response is probably old hat to you but here goes. It is all from a >>family history of the Simmons and Kornegay families in and around Duplin >>county, N.C. and Southeastern N.C. in general. This Simmons genealogy >>was assembled by acousin and genealogist name Malcolm L. >>Grady. He has been dead 20 to 30 years, I suspect. The Kornegays and >>Simmons are all descendants of the German-Swiss colony (1710) of New >>Bern N.C. They were soon swept up in a sea of English, intermarried and >>lost their German language. One of the New Bern descendants married the >>great-great-great-great grandaughter [one Hester Williams] of Thomas >>Savage and Hannah Tying. What I quote below is directly from the >>manuscript of the late Malcolm L. Grady. Any additions in brackets are >>mine from separate research. >> >>1. ENSIGN THOMAS SAVAGE, born in England in 1594, [died 1627] came to >>America with the first English colony here. He was a boy of thirteen >>when the group founded Jamestown, Va. in 1607. [It is my guess that >>Thomas Savage was actually on the second ship in 1608.] In 1608. he was >>given to the Indian chief, Powhatan, as a hostage and was welcomed as >>the "son" of the famous Capt.John Smith. Savage later became an Indian >>interpreter. He was deeded thousands of acres on the Eastern Shore of >>Virginia by the Indian king of the Eastern Shore and was the first white >>man to live in the area. He married Hannah Tying, who had come to >>Virginia in the ship "Sea Flower" in 1621. Only Thomas Wooten and >>Thomas Savage of all the original settlers of the Jamestown colony have >>descendants today, and they may claim the oldest blood of English origin >>in the United States. >> I. John Savage >> >>2. JOHN SAVAGE (1624-1672) married Ann Elkinton and later Mary Robins, >>daughter of Col. Obedience Robins [born 1602 (?) died 1662] of >>"Cherrystone." Col. Robins was an early member of the House of >>Burgesses, the first legislative assembly in the New World. [ I have it >>from separate research that when the first president of Harvard College >>embezzled the few funds of the little school, he was fired and he fled >>to Virginia where he was sheltered briefly in the home of Col. Robins.] >> I. Sarah Savage >> II. John Savage, Jr. >> III.Mary Savage >> IV Thomas Savage, II >> >>[Note here that this genealogy is now purely for the purposes of our >>family line.] >> >>3. THOMAS SAVAGE, II (1670-1728) inherited the plantation "Cherrystone" >>from his grandfather. [Which seems to answer the question posed above >>as to who his mother was, Ann Elkinton or Mary Robins.] He married >>Alicia Harmonson. >> I. George Savage >> II. Sophia Savage >> III. Margaret Savage >> IV. Thomas Savage, III >> V. Ferebee Savage >> >>4. FEREBEE SAVAGE married Francis Pugh, Jr. of North Carolina in >>Sept.1722. He was a son of Francis Pugh of Jericho, Va. and was Justice >>of the Peace in Bertie Co. in 1731 and a member of the Royal Governor's >>Council in 1734. Ferebee's second marriage was to Thomas Barker, II, >>treasurer of the Province of North Carolina. >> I. Margaret Pugh >> II. John Pugh >> III. Mary Pugh >> IV. Thomas Pugh >> V. Francis Pugh,III >> VI. Ferebee Pugh >> >>5. FEREBEE PUGH married John Williams, a planter of Carolina. >> I. Col. John Pugh Williams >> II Benjamin Williams, who was a member of Congress 1793-96 and >>Governor of North Carolina 1799-1802 >> and again 1807. >> III. Hester Williams >> >>6. HESTER WILLIAMS married William Isler, commissioned Lieutenant of >>Militia in 1755. William, born in 1720, was the son of Christian Isler >>(1694-1747) and Elizabeth Coleman, daughter of Robert Coleman and Mary >>O'Dyer. Christian was a son of Nicholas Isler, b. 1661, a Palatine who >>came to New Bern with De Graffenreid Colony [1710]. Will of William >>Isler filed JOnes Co. in Dec. 1784. >> I. William Isler, Jr. >> II. Ann Isler >> III. Christian Isler m. Shadrach Loftin >> >> >>[ Mr. Quinn, I will now leave off here. Ann Isler, above, was the >>great-great-great-great grandmother of my sister , cc-ed above, and me. >>The rest of the genealogy is Hargetts, Simmons, and Kornegays.
