    1. (Major) Samuel EARLE, 1700s, Frederick Co., VA
    2. Hello to the Old Frederick County, Virginia Rootsweb list, If anyone is doing any look-ups in the book, "PIONEERS OF OLD FREDERICK COUNTY, VIRGINIA," may I request one, as well? I am interested in any additional information on my paternal 5th great grandfather, (Major) Samuel EARLE, III, who was born in Abt. 1692 in Westmoreland County, Virginia and lived for awhile in Old Frederick County, Virginia where he was elected the 1st Member of the House of Burgesses from Frederick County holding the seat that would later be held by future (President) George WASHINGTON whose father, Augustine WASHINGTON owned land that was adjoining land owned by Samuel EARLE, I who was the paternal grandfather of the aforementioned (Major) Samuel EARLE, III. And this same Samuel EARLE, I was, also, the land grant partner of (Major) John STITH who married Mrs. Jane MOSBY GREGORY PARSONS, (whom I had previously researched but then that lineage appears to possibly have been incorrect; however, recent information about my being descended from HARDAWAY lineage that is, also, descended from them through their son, Drury STITH, and his wife, Susanna(h) BATHURST, now sends me down some new branches with them.) Also, I am looking for more information on the mother of (Major) Samuel EARLE, III who was Phillis/Phyllis BENNETT who married Samuel EARLE, II. Phillis BENNETT is believed to have been the daughter of the John BENNETT who married as the 3rd husband of a woman named Mat(t)ilda ALLERTON, (have seen some call her Melinda,) who 1st married the aforementioned Samuel EARLE, I after the death of his 1st wife, Bridget HA(Y)LE(S,) (mother of the aformentioned Samuel EARLE, II,) (whom some people show as Bridget BAYLES/aka BAYLIS,) (my 7th great grandmother.) After the death of Samuel EARLE, his 2nd wife, Mat(t)ilda ALLERTON, married as the 2nd wife of her 2nd husband, William RUST/RUSH, and then after his death, Mat(t)ilda ALLERTON married 3rd husband, John BENNETT. I am, also, looking for the names of the parents of Bridget HA(Y)LE(S)/BAYLES/BAYLIS. Her father is thought, by some, to have been the Thomas HA(Y)LE(S) who settled Yeocomico Plantation in Northumberland County in or about 1649 after he and (Sir) John EARLE, immigrant arriving in 1649 from England, acquired the land from the Indians there. (Sir) John EARLE was the husband of 1st wife and my 8th great grandmother, Mary SYM(M)ON(D)S, born: Abt. 1618 in Gloucestershire, England, who immigrated in 1652 with 3 of their 4 children, Samuel EARLE, I, John EARLE, and Mary EARLE, with their 4th son, William EARLE, staying in England to finish his education. He then immigrated later and Mary EARLE, after the death of her mother and her subsequent marriage to family attorney, Martin COLE, (after the death of his 1st wife,) moved back to England. I am looking to find more information about Mary SYM(M)ON(D)S' family/parents/etc., some of whom are believed to have been living in America, probably in the St. Mary's County, Maryland area for about 10 years prior to her immigration. She is believed to have been closely related to the man named Francis SYM(M)ON(D)S who immigrated in 1649 along with (Sir) John EARLE. And, in addition, I am, also, looking for more information on the 2nd wife of (Sir) John EARLE, Mary SYM(M)ON(D)S, in 1659 at "Spring Neck," on Earle's Creek, Yeocomico Plantation, Northumberland County, Virginia, and the name of that 2nd wife of (Sir) John EARLE was Elizabeth ?/CAUSEY/CAWSEY either by maiden name or married name who had previously been married to a man named ? HOWELL and then just a few months after the death of Mary SYM(M)ON(D)S, this Mrs. Elizabeth ?/CAUSEY? ?/CAUSEY? HOWELL married (Sir) John EARLE and then after John's death just a few months later in September 1660 at the age of 48 years old, Elizabeth married a 3rd/4th husband, William CLEMENT. And looking to find out more about the parents/siblings of the other women mentioned above: Phillis BENNETT, Bridget HA(Y)LE(S)/BAYLES/BAYLIS, Mary SYM(M)ON(D)S, Mat(t)ilda ALLERTON, and Elizabeth ?/CAUSEY? ?/CAUSEY? HOWELL as well as any information on the men, John BENNETT, William CLEMENT, and Francis SYM(M)ON(D)S as well as the earliest mentioned (Major) Samuel EARLE, III and any more information on his time spent in Frederick County, Virginia. In advance, I thank you. Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick-Barnett << Does anyone have the book Pioneers of Old Frederick County, Virginia by Cecil O'Dell. I would like to know if there is any information on Henry's in there besides the reference to John Henry's sale of land in 1755. If anyone can do a look-up for me it would be Great.>>
