Thanks Michael. I see how detailed you have become and I am very hopeful that your virtual census will help me. I enjoyed what you sent today re Captain Francis Pythress 1st emigrant. I recently did a program for my daughter's 5th grade class on "Cecily Reynolds Bayley Jordan Farrar Montague Parker" based on an 2004 article in the Colonial Courier, the Daughters of American Colonists magazine. When you talk about Francis Poythress's land, the references "This land was located between Captain John Woodlief's land, on the east, and Bayley's Creek, on the west. Captain Woodlief's land was located near a place called Jordan's and ran east towards land called Beggars bush". Bayley's Creek must have been part of the 200 acres owned by Cecily 1st husband, Thomas Bayley and inherited by Thomas & Cecily Bayley's daughter Temperance when Temperance married. When Thomas Bayley died in 1622-23, Cecily married the older Samuel Jordan who owned 450 acres, the largest acreage on the bank of the James River. Within the article, it states that Cecily's adjoining neighbors were the Woodliefs ! and John Rolfe and wife Pocahantas. This would have had to have been the land called Bayley's Point since Pochantas left for England in 1616 while Cecily was married to 1st husband Thomas Bayley. You probably know most of the above, but when one realizes who was whose adjoining neighbor, it makes more since that Jane Poythress would marry Thomas Rolfe.

I am glad to read that the posting adds to what you already knew. I only hope that each new posting helps us all establish new facts and gives us an opportunity to answer all of our questions. I plan to post more within the next couple of months. I enjoyed reading about Samuel Jordan and Miss Cecily. She seems to have been quite extraordinary......Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pat" <pja70@bellsouth.net> To: <POYTHRESS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, December 10, 2005 5:04 PM Subject: Re: Part 5 > Thanks Michael. > > I see how detailed you have become and I am very hopeful that your virtual > census will help me. > > I enjoyed what you sent today re Captain Francis Pythress 1st emigrant. > I recently did a program for my daughter's 5th grade class on "Cecily > Reynolds Bayley Jordan Farrar Montague Parker" based on an 2004 article in > the Colonial Courier, the Daughters of American Colonists magazine.
