Kathleen, Thanks for your reply to my comments about Mary Peachey and for calling this to my attention. I could be wrong about Mary being the widow of Samuel Peachey. However, I am away from home and all of my records right now. When I return home in a few days, I will check my sources. Without my notes in front of me, I had better reserve any comment for later.

Dear Northern Neck Genealogist, Any thoughts on this article? Anyone a Downing descendant? Thanks Jim Burgess www.virginiasurnames.com [email protected] The Downing Family of Northumberland County by Mrs O A Keach Witchita, Kansas 1. Capt William Downing is mentioned in the Northumberland County Records on January20, 1655, when John Edwards assigned his interest in a patent for land to the said Downing. On January 27, 1688, "William Downing of Great Wicocomoco River, planter, "deeded property to his children as follows: To his eldes son, William and to his son John, 600 acres of land up the north side of horse-path and bounding east upon West Wildy and west upon Richard Nelms. Two cows to (name in decipherable0, to his daughter Mary Downing, one cow.. Witness, William Jones. About this time Capt Downing married Margaret _________ 1679 Jun 7. The court ordered that provisions for all Wicomico parish, levied for the Potomac Fort he delivered at the house of Capt William Downing, Sr. On the samd day Capt Downing was sworn a Justice of the Court. This office he held until the time of his death in 1683. Capt Downing;s will was dated February 9, 1682, and was probated and was probated October 1683, but was burned in 1710. His children were 2 William, 3 John, 4 Thomas, 5 Mary, 6 Probabyly a daughter and by second marriage 7 Charlest. Mr Margaret Downing, widow of Capt Downing, married second Mr Edward Typton and had son Joseph Typton. In 1684, March 19, Mr Edward Typton who married Mrs Margaret Downing, executrix of Mr William Downing, was ordreed by the Court to pay bills of exchange drawn on Mr Edward Jone, merchange of Bristol, England. On November 19, 1684 John Downing as attorney of Mr Samuel Typton, merchant in Bristol brought suite against James Jones. In passing it may be said that the Northumberland County records show many dealings between the colonist of this county and the merchants of Bristol. 2. William Downing, Jr. married Mary as she is mentioned as his relict in the Court records June 1683. His place of residence is shown in a record of Jun 7, 1679, when the court ordered that part of the provisions due from Fairfield parish for the Potomoc Fort be delivered at the house of William Downing Junior. his children were: 8 Elizabeth, 9 Ann and 10 Margery 8. Elizabeth Downing, daughter to William was born December 30, 1670 (St Stephens parish Records) 10. Margery married Josspeh Hudnall whose will is dated July 9, 1709 and probated August 18, 1709 He names his wife Margery and his four children, 11 John, 12 Joseph, 13. Ann 14 Mary Some time before March 20, 1710 Mrs Hudnall married Samuel Blackwell as the record book for that date furnished the following interesting history of the second Williams Downing's Line. Samuel Blackwell of the Parish of St Stephens and Margery his wife, one of the daughters and co-heirs of William Downing, deceased who was the son of William Downing also deceased to Samuel Blackwell, Jr for land left by will of William Downing (the elder and grandfather of the said Margery) to Thos Downing (son) said Thomas Downing to fall into the hands of Wm Hughlett- to and for the use of the said Saml Blackwell and Margarey, his wife, and at their death for the use of Samuel Blackwell Jr. (It is evident that Samuel Blackwell Jr was a stepson of Margey Blackwell.) 1712 Jul 26. Richard Nutt to Anne, his wfie, one of the daughters and coheirs of William Downing Jr., deceased, deed to Samuel Blackwell of Saint Stephens Parish. The above named William Downing by Willl dated September 3rd, 1682, did devise unto Chas Downing, youngest son of testator's father William Downing and to Margery Downing, the testators youngest daughter, his tact of land that he lived on, admitting only an estate for life, in said land, and Charles Downing, dying before any division, made his right come legally vested in the surviveor and after death of said Margery, descends to nearest o of kin to the Donor, the said testator, and whereas the said testator left three daughter only, Anne, Elizabeth and the said Margery. The said Anne hat in reversion an estate in fee in the said devised land being 788 acres (more or less) now in possession of Samuel Blackwell and Margery his wife. 1712, Oct 20 William Smith and Elizabeth, his wife, one of the daughters and coheir of William Downing Jr., deed ot Samuel Blackwell of Saint Stephens Parish for 788 acres more or less now in possession of Samuel Blackwell and Margery his wife. 1725 Oct 18 Samuel Blackwell and Margery, his wife, one of the daughters and coheirs of William Downing Junio and grand daughter of Wm Downing, Deceased, deed to Wm Jones of Wicomico parish, witnesseth that where as Wm Downing deeased by will bearing date Feb 1682, did give unto his son Thos Downing, his tract of his tract of land he loved on in Wicomico parish - thereby admitting only an etate for life and after said Thos Downings death it was determined by Northumberland County Court that the right of the aforseaid land did revert and become legally vested in the coheirs of Wm Downing Jr, vis" Anne, Elizabet and aforesaid Margery. These recrods establish the identity of the children of William Downing Jr beyond a questions as follows: 8 Elizabeth married William Smith, 9 Anne, married Richard Nutt and 10 Margery married, first Joseph Hudnall and second, Samuel Blackwell. The record of John Downing second son of Capt William Downing, the progenitor of all bearing that name in Northumberland county, will be given later in a separate paper. 4. Thomas Downing, third son of Capt Downing, married ______________.

Daniel Neale, the 2nd children by his first marriage with Elizabeth Holland were: Lucretia, born September 5, 1680, who married John Cottrell.

Her will, dated January 4, 1723, probated January 15, 1724 mentions her daughter 17 Margaret James, and her sons 18 Moses, 19 Charles, 20 George, 21 Thomas, 22 William James was legatee of Thomas Downing, probably receiving the greater part of his estate. Then the children of Margaret James were: William, Moses, Charles, Thomas, George and Margaret. 17 Thomas Downing (Thos2 Capt William1) was one of the execurtors of the will of Joseph Palmer which was probated June 21, 1704. On Nov 17, 1708, Thomas Downing was appointed by the Court, Constable for the upper precincts of Wicomico parish 1710, Jun 13. Thomas Downing of Wicomico parish, planter, made a deed for 60 acres to Alice Palmer on south side of Great Wicomico river, part of a pltent for 216 acres granted by deed from the Proprietor's office in 1704 to said Downing. 1720, May 18 he made a deed to John Champion for 112 acres on south side of Great Wicomico river, being part of 220 acres formerly in possession of George Downing, late deceased. The will of Thoms Downing, dated February 1, 1722, probabted February 21, 1722 his whole estate to his sister Margaret James and her children. He mentions, "my sister, Margaret James, cousins (nephews) William and Moses James to Chas James. To George James." It is possible that George Downing deceased, mentioned above was his son but it is evident that Thomas Downing, died without issue. Thus the records prove that the only male descendant of Capt William Downing in the third generations were the sons of John Downing.

Dear Northern Neck Genealogist, Any thought on this article? Anyone a Downing descendant? Thanks Jim Burgess www.virginiasurnames.com [email protected] The Downing Family of Northumberland County by Mrs O A Keach Witchita, Kansas 1. Capt William Downing is mentioned in the Northumberland County Records on January20, 1655, when John Edwards assigned his interest in a patent for land to the said Downing. On January 27, 1688, "William Downing of Great Wicocomoco River, planter, "deeded property to his children as follows: To his eldes son, William and to his son John, 600 acres of land up the north side of horse-path and bounding east upon West Wildy and west upon Richard Nelms. Two cows to (name in decipherable0, to his daughter Mary Downing, one cow.. Witness, William Jones. About this time Capt Downing married Margaret _________ 1679 Jun 7. The court ordered that provisions for all Wicomico parish, levied for the Potomac Fort he delivered at the house of Capt William Downing, Sr. On the samd day Capt Downing was sworn a Justice of the Court. This office he held until the time of his death in 1683. Capt Downing;s will was dated February 9, 1682, and was probated and was probated October 1683, but was burned in 1710. His children were 2 William, 3 John, 4 Thomas, 5 Mary, 6 Probabyly a daughter and by second marriage 7 Charlest. Mr Margaret Downing, widow of Capt Downing, married second Mr Edward Typton and had son Joseph Typton. In 1684, March 19, Mr Edward Typton who married Mrs Margaret Downing, executrix of Mr William Downing, was ordreed by the Court to pay bills of exchange drawn on Mr Edward Jone, merchange of Bristol, England. On November 19, 1684 John Downing as attorney of Mr Samuel Typton, merchant in Bristol brought suite against James Jones. In passing it may be said that the Northumberland County records show many dealings between the colonist of this county and the merchants of Bristol. 2. William Downing, Jr. married Mary as she is mentioned as his relict in the Court records June 1683. His place of residence is shown in a record of Jun 7, 1679, when the court ordered that part of the provisions due from Fairfield parish for the Potomoc Fort be delivered at the house of William Downing Junior. his children were: 8 Elizabeth, 9 Ann and 10 Margery 8. Elizabeth Downing, daughter to William was born December 30, 1670 (St Stephens parish Records) 10. Margery married Josspeh Hudnall whose will is dated July 9, 1709 and probated August 18, 1709 He names his wife Margery and his four children, 11 John, 12 Joseph, 13. Ann 14 Mary Some time before March 20, 1710 Mrs Hudnall married Samuel Blackwell as the record book for that date furnished the following interesting history of the second Williams Downing's Line. Samuel Blackwell of the Parish of St Stephens and Margery his wife, one of the daughters and co-heirs of William Downing, deceased who was the son of William Downing also deceased to Samuel Blackwell, Jr for land left by will of William Downing (the elder and grandfather of the said Margery) to Thos Downing (son) said Thomas Downing to fall into the hands of Wm Hughlett- to and for the use of the said Saml Blackwell and Margarey, his wife, and at their death for the use of Samuel Blackwell Jr. (It is evident that Samuel Blackwell Jr was a stepson of Margey Blackwell.) 1712 Jul 26. Richard Nutt to Anne, his wfie, one of the daughters and coheirs of William Downing Jr., deceased, deed to Samuel Blackwell of Saint Stephens Parish. The above named William Downing by Willl dated September 3rd, 1682, did devise unto Chas Downing, youngest son of testator's father William Downing and to Margery Downing, the testators youngest daughter, his tact of land that he lived on, admitting only an estate for life, in said land, and Charles Downing, dying before any division, made his right come legally vested in the surviveor and after death of said Margery, descends to nearest o of kin to the Donor, the said testator, and whereas the said testator left three daughter only, Anne, Elizabeth and the said Margery. The said Anne hat in reversion an estate in fee in the said devised land being 788 acres (more or less) now in possession of Samuel Blackwell and Margery his wife. 1712, Oct 20 William Smith and Elizabeth, his wife, one of the daughters and coheir of William Downing Jr., deed ot Samuel Blackwell of Saint Stephens Parish for 788 acres more or less now in possession of Samuel Blackwell and Margery his wife. 1725 Oct 18 Samuel Blackwell and Margery, his wife, one of the daughters and coheirs of William Downing Junio and grand daughter of Wm Downing, Deceased, deed to Wm Jones of Wicomico parish, witnesseth that where as Wm Downing deeased by will bearing date Feb 1682, did give unto his son Thos Downing, his tract of his tract of land he loved on in Wicomico parish - thereby admitting only an etate for life and after said Thos Downings death it was determined by Northumberland County Court that the right of the aforseaid land did revert and become legally vested in the coheirs of Wm Downing Jr, vis" Anne, Elizabet and aforesaid Margery. These recrods establish the identity of the children of William Downing Jr beyond a questions as follows: 8 Elizabeth married William Smith, 9 Anne, married Richard Nutt and 10 Margery married, first Joseph Hudnall and second, Samuel Blackwell. The record of John Downing second son of Capt William Downing, the progenitor of all bearing that name in Northumberland county, will be given later in a separate paper. 4. Thomas Downing, third son of Capt Downing, married ______________. His children were: 15 Patience, 16 Margaret and 17 Thomas mentioned as the orphans of Thomas Downing on page 432 of the Order Book, 1678-1698 15 Patience Downing married Daniel Neale, the 2nd son of Daniel Neale, the 1st.

Kathleen Agreed. Knowing Carolyn as I do, her constant theme is copyright. When pressed on just what she interprets "fair use" to be, she explains it (more or less) as thus: "Think subjectively. How would like to see your work stolen and quoted in toto with no attribution? Further, how would like your entire book to be copied and no payment made to the author?" I am not saying you did this. You did not. This is merely part of a broader theme here. Kathleen, whenever I cite something from, say, the McCarty book, I try very hard to cite the authors and the page number in an astercik to that note (when working with emails, I find it easier on the reader to do it this way, and not embedded in entire footnote citations into the text. This annoys and distracts fthe reader from the point one is trying to make) .I do no not quote umpteen paragraphs and pass it off as my own research. Why? Because the reason I am quoting it at all is to illustrate a point, other peoples' research, their own conclusions (which may or may not not be mine) and to add additional research and a different view, at which point I try to make that clear as well. To simply regurgitate what someone has already written may have its uses to make a point. Keep in mind, however, many of us already have this information. We are striving to come up with new interpretations and solve conflicting sets of information.

Since FOX was on the last several digest entries, The Lancaster County Tithable List for the year 1700 for White Chappel Parish have the following: Capt. William FOX (9) Mr. Samuel FOX (5) Capt. David FOX (20) While that may be common knowledge to those who research FOX, there are three others on this same list about whom I have extreme interest. 1. Thomas CATTLETT (3) - the common spelling is CATLETT 2. Mrs. Frances HARRISON (5) - the widow of Joseph, whom she married 11 NOV 1692 at Christchurch, Middlesex Co., VA. She was born abt. 1681 to Thomas HASLEWOOD and Mary COLE, dau. Of Francis and Alice COLE. 3. John REEVES (3) Mrs. Frances HARRISON mar. Thomas CATLETT between 23 Dec 1699 and 14 May 1700 in Lancaster Co. By 3 Apr 1711, the mother of Frances CATLETT, Frances HASLEWOOD, widow, wrote her will and named daughter, Frances; grandsons Thomas and William CATLETT. She also named son, Thomas HASLEWOOD, daughter Jane JONES and grandson Humphrey JONES. *1713, Frances CATLETT was appointed administrator of husband, Thomas CATLETT's estate. *1731 (14 Jul), Lancaster Co. - lawsuit of William CATLETT and Sarah, his wife, vs. James REVES, executor of the estate of John REVES, and Catlett was granted a continuance. *1731 (13 Oct), Lancaster Co. - lawsuit of William Catlett and Sarah, his wife (daughter of Arthur Clark and granddaughter of William Clark), vs. James Reves, executor of the estate of John Reves, for her share in the estate of John Reves; committee appointed settle and report at next session: Robert Mitchell, Henry Carter, and Joseph Carter, Gent. NOTE: an Arthur CLARK was on the list of tithables (1) for St. Mary's White Chapel Parish in Lancaster Co. in 1716. In 1718 (2 Apr) he made a will in Lancaster mentioning daughter, Sarah; brother, William REEVES; "father-in-law" (prob. Step-father), Jno REEVES and mother (unnamed); there is apparently no wife mentioned; executors are John and William REEVES. In 1718 (2 Apr) in Accomack Co., owned property here which was left to brother William REEVES, in his will bearing this date. *1731 (11 Nov), Lancaster Co. - lawsuit of William Catlett and Sarah, his wife, vs. James Reves, executor of the estate of John Reves; ordered audit was not performed and order renewed *1731 (8 Dec), Lancaster Co. - lawsuit of William Catlett and Sarah, his wife, vs. James Reves, executor of the estate of John Reves; plaintiffs (Catletts) awarded 2 pounds, 9 pence current money. I am searching for the father of this specific Thomas CATLETT and whether he is (and how) a direct descendant of the John CATLETT, b. 12 Jan 1621/22 in Sittingbourne Parish, County Kent, England and who died between 18 Apr and 31 Dec 1670 at Port Royal, Caroline Co., VA. I am also searching for what happened to the William and Thomas, sons of the Thomas CATLETT mar. to Frances; William's wife, Sarah, daughter of Arthur CLARK and granddaughter of William CLARK. What was John REEVES relationship to Sarah...step-father to her father; thus step-grandfather? Pam Catlett Mullinax P.S. There is no need to repeat "all" of this in any response.

Carolyn Jett is a highly respected writer and genealogist. I quote her because her work is authoritative. The concept of "fair use" allows quotation of several paragraphs (I quoted most of 3) or even several pages from a long work for academic purposes, such as research. The quotation must be set off by quotation marks or indentation, and attribution to the author must be given. As a professional editor, writer, and publisher for 40 years, I am aware of copyright regulations and observe them scrupulously. Kathleen Much The Book Doctor

Not to sound to stupid, but what's with the rings? Are they rings that go on your fingers? Is there any other kinds? Sounds to me she had a lot of them for this time period. Am I wrong? Can anyone explain the rings? I'm just trying to figure out the purposes of these rings.

Kathleen, WIth all due respect, and I mean this most earnestly: Carolyn Jett is the President of the Mary Ball Washington Museum & Library. One of her biggest concerns is copyright infringement-especially when it involves her own publications. May I politely suggest to the good Book Doctor that you paraphrase her work and her words and put them in a more concise manner, rather than, well, "borrowing" them word for word into many paragraphs? A gentle suggestion. Craig Kilby On Sep 14, 2011, at 11:54 AM, Kathleen Much wrote: > Hannah Fox, dau. of David Fox d 1669, married Capt John Mottrom. Their son > was Spencer Mottrom Sr, who m.

I am afraid I am not making myself clear, Kattheen. We at MVWML have acess to every one of all hese boosk and lcoal county recrods, , and then some. I apologize for aksking in advance. I was hoping ing for a well compiled study. Dumb question on my part. I aplogogize. Not to be rude, but we don't need to be told what we already have and know.

All this information is getting me confused. David(1) d. 1669 m. Mary Unknown and had David (2) b. 1647 d. 1702 m Hannah Ball. Hannah m. John2 Mottrom Rebecca m. Robert Tomlin Hannah and John Mottrom had Spencer... Who m. Sarah Young and they had Spencer Jr. and Mary. Spencer-1 dies and daughter Mary picks Richard Ball as her guardian... But then soon marries Joseph Ball. OK so I have Mary and Joseph's marriage correct, I'm just mixed up on the marriage of Spencer. However...... The Richard Ball that was most likely the guardian..... I show Sarah Young m. Capt. Richard Ball abt. 1700. The same time Spencer died coincidentally. So DID Sarah m. Richard after the death of Spencer and go on to have Margaret Ball (William Ball) Sarah Ball (John Selden) Hannah Ball and Easter Ball? Now..... David-1 then m. Ann Mottrom daughter of John-1 so she is sister-in-law to Hannah Fox Mottrom. SO was Spencer Mottrom the son of John-2 and Hannah Fox Mottrom. OK I'm following along now. I had to put Kathleen and Craig's emails together. Craig I very much like the way you lay it out in a line of descent version with the 1,2 etc. Much more succinct. I get lost in A.D.D. land. LOL So the question right now...... DID Sarah Young m. Richard Ball after Spencer died? Would make sense as to why Mary chose him as guardian. I know we aren't discussint so much these lines right now but in order for me to fix what Craig is about to begin laying before us....... I need to have my ducks in a row or nothing will match and will be a confusing mess to clean up later.

>From VIRGINIA WILL RECORDS compiled from the _Virginia Magazine of History and Biography_ page 476: 'Att a Court holden for the County of Yorke the 20th October 1646. It is ordered with the consent of Mr Edmund Chisman father-in-law to John Lilley orphant, William Barber father-in-law to the orphants of John Dennett vizt Thomas Dennett, Margaret Dennett & Sarah Dennett, & David ffoxe father-in-law to the orphants of Clark and Munday that the estates belonging to the sd sevrall orphants wch this day they have given an accot of to uis cort shall henceforward with all the increase freely come and belong unto the sd orpphants without any charges for the future subsistance or educacon of the sd orphants or for there care paines or charge in prserving and looking to ye sd sevrall Orphants estates soe long as they or any of them shall remaine under the tuition of ye above sd Edmund Chisman William Barber & David ffoxe, the male catle only excepted wch belong to John Lilly and the orphants of John Dennett and the orphants of ye sd Clarke and Munday.' >From this it would appear that David-1 Fox had married the widow(s) of Clarke and Munday, possibly his first wife Mary --, by 1646. "In-law" meant "step-" at the time. "Fox Family," William & Mary Quarterly, series 1, vol. 17, no. 1, pp. 59-60: "Captain David^1 Fox, merchant, received a grant of 372 acres on Moratico Creek, in Lancaster County, May 23, 1650. He received other grants at different times. He had the rank of captain and was a justice of the peace. He married twice: 1) Mary --; 2) about 1665 Anne Mottrom, widow of Richard Wright, merchant, and daughter of Colonel John Mottrom, merchant. In 1662 he made a deed to Robert Tomlin in trust for himself, during life, and then to his daughter, Hannah Fox, and in case of her failing to have heirs of her body, then to his son, David Fox. In 1664, he made a similar deed in Lancaster, giving to Hanna, his daughter, all wearing apparel belonging to his wife, Mary. On the death of Richard Wright in 1663, his widow, Anne Wright, is mentioned as marrying David Fox. His will was proved in Lancaster, January 6, 1664 [sic; s/b 1669], and the following is an abstract: "Will of David Fox, of Lancaster, Nov. 4, 1669: to wife Anne all the plantation I live on, with all houses, &c., which land I bought of Capt. Thos. Burbage dec'd, for her life or untill marriage, then to son David Fox according to a deed of gift; also to her all my Christian servants, except 3 English servants, which I give to my children William and Elizabeth, also one other English servant now at Piscataway to son David Fox. To son William and daughter Elizabeth all negroes not disposed of by former deeds, when they shall come of age or marry; to wife, son William, & daughter Elizabeth all other estate in Lancaster (except £100 sterling worth of Merchandising goods now in my store, which I give to son, David, & daughter Hannah). To son William and daughter Elizabeth the plantation I lately purchased of Mr. Thomas Colclough, of London, Merchant, in Northumberland County, Virginia, formerly belonging to Mr. George Colclough dec'd, brother of said Thomas, containing 2,266 acres; in case said Colclough shall not make a legal conveyance, I bequeath to said children £400 (which money with more, is now in hands of Jno. Jeffreys, of London, Merchant & said Colclough). To daughter, Rebecca, the wife of Robt. Tomlin [note: for Tomlin see _Va. Magazine_, V, 161]; £5 sterling, it being in full and the last of her portion. To wife, son William & daughter [sic] Hannah & Elizabeth this year crop of tobacco made in Lancaster; to son David all this year's crop of tobacco made at Piscattaway. Rest of what money I have in England in the hands of Jeffreys & Colclugh, to wife, son Davyd & daughter Hannah. To parish of St. Mary White Chapel £20 sterling for glasing and other use of the church. Son Davyd sole executor & Mr. William Ball, Senior, & Mr. Edward Dale overseers. Proved January 6, 1669. "There is a silver communion cup preserved, on which is engraved 'The gift of David Fox, 1669.' "According to his will, Captain Fox had issue: 2 David; 3 Hannah, who married Major John Mottrom, son of Colonel John Mottrom, and had Spencer Mottrom, mentioned as son and heir in 1691 (Northumberland County records). David and Hannah Fox were probably by wife Mary; 4 William; 5 Elizabeth, which two last were probably by wife Ann. [leaves out Rebecca FOX Tomlin, who could not have been by Anne MOTTROM because she was married by 1669]" Kathleen
