The connection of this country with the name and family of AXTELL is decidedly interesting. Several years ago I communicated to the REGISTER, XXII, 143, Notes on the AXTELL family, giving a short account of Thomas AXTELL of Sudbury and his descendants, of whom his grandson, Daniel, moved for a time to South Carolina. Unfortunately Thomas of Sudbury did not put himself so fully on record as two others of the name, whose wills are found in London. Mr. Savage says in the Genealogical Dictionary of New England, under AXTELL, “NATHANIEL, New Haven 1639, intend. to go home, made his will 27 Jan. 1640, and d. in few wks. bef. embark. at Boston.” Mention of such will is also found in the Records of the Colony of New Haven, but the following will of earlier date was left in England, and there proved and recorded, as follows:
In the name of God Amen. The Seaventeenth day of August One Thousand Six Hundred Thirtie nyne And in the ffifteenth yeare of ye Raigne of our Soueraigne Lord Charles by the grace of God Kinge of England Scotland Fraunce and Ireland, Defender of the faith &c. I Nathaniell AXTELL now or late of the parish of St Peters nere the Burrough of St Albons in the County of Hertford Yeoman, being now purposed (by the Grace of God) to travayle to New England in the parts beyond the Seas and considering the certainty of Death & how uncertaine the tyme thereof is, Doe (Revoaking all former Willes Testamentes legacies & Devises by me heretofore made) make & declare this my present last Will & Testament in matter & forme follokinge that is to say, ffirst & principally I comend my Soul into the hands of Allmightie God my Creator & of Jesus Christ my only Saviour & Redeemer hopeinge & stedfastly beleiving through the meritts Death and Passion of my said Saviour Jesus Christ to have free pdon and forgiveness of all my sinnes & to inheritt Eternall life in the Kingdome of Heaven with other the Elect Children of God.

NATHANIELL AXTELL.
Read signed sealed published & delivered by the said Nathaniell AXTELL for & as his last Will & Testament the Day of the Date in the presence of me Antho: HUDSON Scrr. And me Natha: HUDSON his sonne.
Proved at London 12 June 1640.
The second will is as follows:
Considering the brevity and uncertainty of the life of Man how many accidents perills and dangers it lyes lyable to especially in Journeys by Land and hazards by sea both which I intend God willing in very few dayes to undertake doe judge it absolutely necessary to make this my last Will and Testamt this third day of August one thousand six hundred and seaventy eight which is as vizt. Imprimis I give and bequeath unto my eldest daughter Sibilla the sume of ffive Hundred pounds to be paid her at day of marryage or when shee shall attaine to the age of twenty one yeares. Item I give unto my son Daniel the sume of ffive Hundred pounds to be paid to him at the age of twenty and one yeares. Item I give and bequeath unto my Daughter Mary ffive Hundred pounds to be paid her at day of marryage or when shee shall attaine the age of twenty one yeares. Item I give unto my sonne Holland ffive Hundred pounds to be paid him when hee shall attaine to the age of twenty one yeares. Item I give unto my daughter Rebeckah five hundred pounds to be paid her at day of marryage or when shee shall attaine to the age of twenty one yeares. Item I give unto my daughter Elizabeth and my Daughter Anne each of them ffive hundred pounds to be paid to them as either of them is marryed or shall attaine to the age of twenty one yeares. Item I make my dearly beloved and faithfull wife Rebeckah my full and whole Executrix of this my last Will and Testament giveing and bequeathing to her all the remainder of my estate just and lawfull debts being first paid and discharged an account
[page 52]
of which for brevity sake I have left in writeing and inclosed herein. And that whereas merchandizeing and other Comerce in the world is lyable to sundry casualties losse and damages by which meanes the estate that I now doe through the good hand and signall providence and blessing of God account my selfe to have, may very much fall short soe the getting of it in from my severall ffactors and Correspondents in severall places of this World soe that whereas my great and earnest deire and intention to give and bequeath my intirely beloved Wife such a part and proportion of my estate as through the goodness of God to her shee may live happily freely and plentifull the remainder of her life, may be very much diminished and lessened soe that the care and tendernesse I have for her future comfort may be frustrated and disappointed. My will therefore is that if in the gathering in of my estate from abroad and debts at home it should happen soe to fall short that the porcons above menconed being paid to my children my deare wife should not have the sume of Two Thousand pounds for her selfe for her owne maintenance over and above all household goods plate and jewells I am now at this time seized and posst of. That then how much soever shee fall short of the said two Thousand pounds there shall be a proporconable deduction and abatement out of every one of my childrens porcon [photcopy illegible] for [?] the makeing up of the said Two Thousand pounds for the support and maintenance of my said deare Wife Rebeckah. And that if any of my children should dye either before marryage or age of one and twenty yeares that then any of them soe deceaseing their porcon or porcons shall be equally divided amongst the survivors. Lastly my faithfull friend Henry DANVERS Esqr. and Mr. Wm. PENNINGTON are hereby desired and appointed to be helpfull and assisting to my dearest wife in the gathering in of my estate from abroad and to be adviseing and helping her in the secure disposeing of it when at home. In witnesse whereof I have hereunto sett my hand and seale the day and yeare above written. Note that the seeming alteracon of ffigure in the ffive Hundred pounds to my Daughter Sibilla was done before signeing.
DAN. AXTELL.
Signed sealed and declared to be the last Will and Testament of Daniel AXTELL in the presence of Anne COOPER, Mary CATCHPOULL, Sarah HILL.
Proved at London 2 July 1680, when a commission was issued to Walter NEEDHAM M.D. Attorney lawfully appointed “per Rebeccam AXTELL (jam apud Carolinam habitam)” Widow and Executrix of Daniel AXTELL “nuper de Stoke Newington in Com. Midds sed apud Carolinam defti” to administer the estate in the absence of the said Executrix.
Rebecca, widow of this Daniel AXTELL, was of course the “Lady AXTEL” of Charleston, S.C., 1695, mentioned in the journal of William PRATT, REGISTER, XXVIII. 168. If we could be sure that the brothers Thomas and Daniel, named in the will of Nathaniel AXTELL, were the two other settlers of the name, we should have here a genuine instance of the oft-repeated story of the three brothers, one in Massachusetts, one in Connecticut and one in South Carolina. I do not know that proof of this is likely ever to be found. Even without it, the whole is a curious chapter of family history.

[A chapter on the cartography of Washington, D.C.]
[…] “Anacostien Ile” (later Mason’s, now Roosevelt Island) […]
[…] “And what was ‘Goose Creek’ once is ‘Tiber’ now.” […]
Another era in cartography began about 1736, with surveys by John WARNER and William MAYO of Lord FAIRFAX’s princely estate on the Northern Neck of Virginia. Their manuscripts crossed the ocean and eventually reached the Public Record Office, whence photostats made the return trip to the Library of Congress. WARNER indicates Four Mile Creek, Alexander’s Island, the Eastern Branch, Goose Creek, and Rock Creek. MAYO adds Mason’s Island, the Little Falls, “Watson’s” place on the Potomac in the present city, and McGEE’s ferry west of Rock Creek. This accurate work was lost upon some cartographers, including the drafter of the New Map of Virginia (published in Sir William Keith’s History of the British Plantations in America, London, 1738), who located the Great Falls and “Anticostin” Island below the Eastern Branch!

LEONARD. – The writer is a descendant of Solomon LEONARD, an original proprietor of Bridgewater, Mass., and one of the earliest settlers in that town. An interest in the genealogy of our family began to be awakened when I found in Judge MITCHELL’s History of Bridgewater, soon after it was published in 1840, that my great-grandfather Joseph (17) was married to Mary PACKARD, 1721, when he was but eight years of age! Ever since that time, as leisure and opportunity would permit, I have been gathering material, in this country and in Europe, for an authentic genealogy of the “Bridgewater branch of LEONARDs,” and their connection with other branches of the name. Judge MITCHELL was a noble man, and performed a noble work in compiling and publishing this history. Although it contains numerous errors, it has been, and will continue to be, of inestimable value to historians and genealogists. He laid foundations upon which others have built more perfect structures. He had an interleaved copy of his work in which he noted, to the end of his life, all errors or additions that he discovered, or were brought to his notice. Cannot that copy be found, and the possessor induced to present it to our library, where it will be accessible to the vast number of persons who would be benefited by the records it contains?
A few months before his decease, I had several pleasant interviews with him, when with his characteristic kindliness and interest, he gave me much information relative to my ancestors, and the corrections he had made since his history was published.
He had learned that Jacob,2 son of Solomon,1 had a wife previous to the one mentioned in his will as “his present wife Susanna,” who had sons, Joseph3 and Josiah.3 The former married Martha, daughter of William ORCUTT, born in 1671, and had:
Ephraim,4 m. Martha, daughter of Humphrey PERKINS of Hampton, N.H., September 16, 1720.
Joseph,4 who m. Mary, daughter of Nathaniel PACKARD of Bridgewater, September 14, 1721; and had a daughter who m. –––– FISHER, said to be of Rehoboth. Who was she?
Ephraim4 was a merchant in Bridgewater, for many years after his marriage. Removed to Hopwell, New Jersey, where Eliab BYRAM, who m. his daughter Phebe, settled as a clergyman. (Mitchell, page 127.)
It has been represented that these families had full records of their ancestors. If so, they may be discovered among some of their descendants.
In a genealogy of the PERKINS family, published in the REGISTER, vol. xii. page 80 (1858), it is stated that Abigail, youngest sister of Martha PERKINS, m. “Mr. LEONARD, of Bridgewater.” Who was he?
The most vigilant search has failed to discover who was Jacob’s first wife, where and when she was born and died, and when her children were born. It has been supposed that the family were in Worcester when the first attempt at settlement was made there, and were driven off by the Indians in 1675. He was certainly there with his second wife, and two children born at Weymouth, as soon as the second attempt at settlement was undertaken in 1684-5. They were so harassed by the Indians that they became discouraged, however, and removed to Bridgewater in 1693. A short time before his death in 1717, he deeded his property in Worcester to his nephew Moses,4 who was a prominent man in W. The children of the first wife probably lived with and were provided for by her relatives (whoever they were), as they were not mentioned in his will made December 14, 1716, proved December 19, 1717.
A liberal remuneration will be made for such information as will enable me to complete an authentic record of the births, marriages and deaths of the three generations commencing with Solomon; including family names of wives. In the early records, the names were sometimes written LENNER, LENNERSON and LEONARDSON. Who was William LEONARD, of Bridgewater, m. Sarah BOLTON, 1709? Sarah, m. Samuel PERRY, December 14, 1710? Benjamin, m. Hannah PHILLIPS, August 15, 1715? And Martha, m. Ebenezer EDDY, of Norton, 1734?

[page 60]
AXTELL. – From a pocket memorandum Book and Almanac published in 1691, which is well preserved and now in the hands of Joshua E. CRANE, Esq., of Bridgewater, was taken the following record of the death of Henry AXTELL as recorded by his son, Daniel AXTELL.
“My Father Henry AXTELL was ‘Slayne’ by the Indians the 19th day of April, in the year 1676,” between Marlboro’ and Sudbury.”
In Hudson’s Hist. of Marlborough, page 310, the date is given, April 20th.

[page 239]
AXTELL–PRATT (ante, p. 111). – William,3 son of Thomas2 PRATT, of Weymouth, who was “slayne by the Indians” April 19, 1676, was born in 1659. He married Elizabeth BAKER, of Dorchester, Oct. 26, 1680, by whom he had but one child, as far as I can find, Thankful, born 1683. In a Diary written by him, lately found, and now in possession of his descendant, Hon. J.E. CRANE, of Bridgewater, he states that “in 1690 he moved to Dorchester, in 1695 he went with the Dorchester Colony to Ashley river in South Carolina (to promote religion on the southern plantations), where he arrived Dec. 20th, “and he and Increase SUMNER were kindly entertained by Lady AXTELL; in 1697 he was ordained a Ruling Elder of the Church of Christ,” and “May 12, 1702, my daughter Thankful was married to Daniel AXTELL.” He soon after returned to Weymouth, and from thence, in 1705, removed to Bridgewater, and soon again removed to Easton. I believe he was a Presbyterian in his form of religion. He died in 1713, and was buried in the old burying-ground in Easton, the inscription on his grave-stone being as follows: “HERE-LISE-THE-BODY-OF-ELDER-WILLIAM-PRATT-AGED-54-IN-THE-YEA-1713-IANVARY-THE-13.”
Daniel AXTELL, probably the son of “Lady AXTELL,” came with his father-in-law or about the same time he returned, and settled in that part of Bridgewater which afterward became Abington. He bought one half of the BRIGGS grant, which was given to the children of Clement BRIGGS, “old comer,” by Plymouth Colony in 1661. In 1712, Jan. 30, he sold his farm in Abington to Samuel3 PORTER (ancestor of the writer), from Weymouth, and removed to Taunton, that part which afterward became Dighton or Berkeley.

AXTELL. – I communicated to the REGISTER for April, 1868, some “Notes on the AXTELL Family of Mass.,” referring only to those of Sudbury and Marlborough. I have since found persons of the same surname, and all the same male Christian names in Bristol County in the first half of the last century. At Taunton is the will of Daniel AXTELL, of Dighton, 1735-6, which mentions his wife Thankful, sons Daniel, William, Henry, Samuel, Ebenezer, and Thomas, dau. Elizabeth, wife of Thomas BART, daus. Rebecca, Hannah and Thankful. The son Daniel, of Berkeley, made his will 1761, mentioning wife Phebe, only son Daniel, daus. Thankful and Elizabeth.
I write this now to ask if any relationship is known to exist between the two families, and shall be glad to receive information from any person connected with either of them or interested in their history. – I am myself descended from the first Thomas of Sudbury, and wish to learn all I can concerning all of the name here. – Is it possible that Daniel AXTELL returned from South Carolina, and settled at Dighton?

After the Hanoverian settlement English cartography developed on independent lines, and economic conditions in the map-trade no longer checked, but encouraged, original work. The growth of country estates and changes in methods of cultivation and land tenure created security of employment for the surveyor. His principal masters were still the landed gentry whose houses and parks, with their owner’s names and coats of arms, were laid down on the county maps of the 18th century. Nor, in a period of commercial expansion and politcal rivalry, was there any want of official patrons for both marine and land surveyors at home and oversea. The Army and Navy, government offices like the Board of Trade and Plantations, colonial Governors and chartered Proprietors, all had need of accurate maps. Able English surveyors, such as William MAYO, sought their opportunities in the American colonies, and their work (Pl. 83, 84) was engraved and published by London mapsellers like SENEX and JEFFERYS, whose output thus acquired a semi-official character recognised by the appointment of Geographer to the King.

In the vignette is seen the colonial surveyor using plane-table and chain, while one of his negro assistants holds a ‘wheel dimensurator’. On the map, parishes are distinguished by contrasting colours and the names of landowners are given. Houses, mills and other buildings are in profile, as on OGILBY’s map (Pl. 69).

GENERATION No. 1
1. RICHARD1 CORLEY was born Bef 1655, and died Abt 1708 in Hanover County, Virginia.
Notes
Richard CORLEY is the earliest CORLEY of record in North America. Hanover County is near Richmond, up the James River from Jamestown and Williamsburg. The first ship reached Jamestown from England in 1607, not too long before Richard was born. I don̓t know where Richard was born, but if he wasn’t born in england, his parents probably were.
As Virginia got too crowded, and more land opened up to the south, descendants of Richard CORLEY migrated to the Edgefield County area of South Carolina and from there to Georgia, Alabama and other states.

ROGER BURLINGAME
Roger BURLINGHAM was also known as Roger BURLINGAME, which is an American corruption of the original English name BURLINGHAM. After he came to Rhode Island, his name appears in both forms. Over time, most family members adopted the name BURLINGAME.
Roger was born 24 Jan 1620 (Doherty and Jacox both say 1638) in Darwich, Kent, England and married Jacolyn HUNTINGDON about 1646 in England. After Jacolyn̓s death, Robert married Mary LIPPITT, daughter of John LIPPITT and Martha (??) on 3 Oct 1663 in Warick [sic], RI. Roger died on 1 Sep 1718 in Mashantatack, Providence, RI at age 98. His estate was valued at 199 pounds, 13 shillings, 8 pence, and included a mare, three cows, three yearlings, a calf, two sheep, two swine, an old sword, clothing, scales, cash, etc.
He enlisted in the British Army at age 16, serving in his uncle Roger BURLINGHAM̓s regiment, and eventually became a Captain. His company was sent to America, landing at Boston, MA on 10 May 1650. Soon thereafter he resigned his commission. He went to Connecticut, intending to buy a farm and send for his wife and son in England, not knowing that his wife had died.
On 16 Feb 1656, he and Thomas GRIFFIAN bought 100 acres of land on the east side of “the brooke called mislicke” in Pequot (now New London), RI from Peter BLATCHFORD for 40 pounds. Roger sold this property on 1 Mar 1659 to William THOMPSON. On 14 Mar 1659 THOMPSON filed a complaint against “Thomas BURILNGHAM”, charging him with gathering crops on this farm. There is no other record of Thomas BURLINGHAM at this date and may have been Thomas GRIFFIAN, named BURLINGHAM by mistake. On 7 Mar 1663, Tollarton HARRIS testified in court that on 12 Jul 1662 he saw Samuel GORTON, George GOFF, Roger BURLINGAME, and Ebenezer MOONE mowing the grass on the property of W. FIELD and W. HARRIS, near a place called Toskeonke on the north side of the Pawtuxet River. similar testimony was given by Andrew HARRIS. Roger BURLINGAME, along with Thomas RALPH and John HARRUD, claimed that they had been granted the property, totaling 4000 acres, by the Cooweeseette Indians on 6 Jun 1662. FIELD and HARRIS claimed that they had been granted the property by the King. The court found in favor of FIELD and HARRIS and ordered BURLINGAME and the others to leave the land, and pay 10 shillings damages. They did not leave, however. The Town Sergeant put off enforcing the verdict, knowing that the community favored BURLINGAME and the others. On 1 May 1670, T. HARRIS testified that on 21 Apr 1670 he and the General Sergeant went to John HARRUD̓s home to execute the verdict, and were turned away at gunpoint. HARRUD was supported by about 15 men, including John WEEKS Sr. and Jr., Edmund CALVERY, Roger BURLINGAME and Benjamin BARTON. Eventually, BURLINGAME, HARRUD, and RALPH won out, partly due to HARRIS̓ death.
Roger bought lands from the Cooweeseette Indians on 23 Jun 1662 and 13 May 1663. The site of his home is “about one and one-half miles northwesterly from Oak Lawn Depot, Cranston, Rhode Island.” He built a 2 1/2 story “Mansion House” about 1666, which was about 35×60 feet. On 25 Sep 1671, Thomas RALPH, Roger BURLINGAME, and John HARRUD were authorized by the General Assembly to set the tax rate and levy assessments for the town of Mashantatack. On Oct 1671, they were ordered to levy a tax of 40 shillings on the townspeople, as their share of the 200 pounds levied on the Rhode Island Colony.
On 6 Oct 1682, Roger BURLINGHAM “of Mashantatack” bought land in Warwick from Abel POTTER, and then Roger BURLINOHAM “of Warwick” sold the land to his son John the same day. On 6 Sep 1684 he deeded his homestead in Mashantatack, RI totaling about 83 acres to his son Peter, reserving a lifetime lease. (Jacox and McPherson both put this date at 6 Sep 1704, and the land at 50 acres). On 15 Mar 1708 he deeded an additional 15 acres of land to Peter, to the west of his homestead in Mashantatack, including some iron ore beds. He was elected to the General Assembly from Warick <sic>, RI on 6 May 1690, but was not accepted by the Assembly because of the question of his legal residence, and hence the legality of the election. The questions arose from his purchase and sale of land in Warwick on 6 Oct 1682, described above, in which he claimed residency in Mashantatack in one deed and in Warwick in the other. The Assembly declared he was from Mashantatack, not Warwick.
On 24 Apr 1697, in Providence, Providence, RI he was one of 21 men who were ordered by a Council of War to take ten men each, to search for the Indian enemies, and if possible to expel or kill them. If they were too strong however, he was to warn the inhabitants. (The date of this order calls into question the birthdate given by Nelson BURLINGAME, and makes the 1638 date given by other sources more credible. A birthdate of 1638, however, would mean that he couldn’t have joined the British Army in 1636, married Jacolyn HUNTINGDON in 1646, and had a son in 1648, or come to the US as a Captain in the British Army in 1650.)
He was elected constable in Providence on 7 Jun 1697. He was elected to the town council of Providence on 6 Jul 1698. He and his family were Quakers, and up until about 1711, they held their meetings at his Mansion House in Mashantatack, Providence, RI.
His will was dated 28 Nov 1715 in Providence, Providence, RI. The witnesses were John BURTON, Mary BURTON, and Peter ROBARDS. It was proved 13 Sep 1718, and his son Roger and sons-in-law Thomas ARNOLD and Amos STAFFORD were named as overseers. His wife Mary was named as executrix, but since she had died, his son John took over. He left his movable estate to his wife Mary. At her death, this was to be evenly divided between his daughters, and his granddaughters Freelove BURLINGAME (of his son, Roger), Frances GORTON, and Deborah HAZZARD. He left 50 acres of land to his son Roger and his grandson John BURLINGAME, and the rest of his land to his son Thomas. He also left about 20 shillings each to his sons, John, Thomas, and Roger.
(Most of the above information was from Nelson BURLINGAME)

This effort is extracted from Nelson BURLINGAME, Burlingame Manuscript I. Merrilan, Wisconsin: Privately Printed, 1971, pages 2-272, passim. BURLINGAME’S undocumented study comprises several volumes, tracing the BURLINGAME family from colonial times to the present. Additional data is from material assembled by the late Glen ALLEN of Topeka, Kansas and his recently deceased sister, Mrs. Maxine HOBBLE, of Wakarusa, Kansas, both of whom were active in researching the MATTOCKS, the RUGG, and the BURLINGAME families. Sources that I have been able to document are cited immediately following the data.

ROGER BURLINGAME, son of Thomas and Elizabeth (HOWARD) BURLINGAME, born Kent Co., England Jan. 24, 1620, died Mashantatack (Cranston), R.I., Sept. 1, 1718 (VR of RI, 1st series, vol. II:52); married, first, England, about 1646, Jacolyn HUNTINGDON, died England; married, second, Warwick, R.I., Oct. 3, 1663 Mrs. MARY (LIPPITT) BARLINSTONE, born Providence Plantations, R.I., March 3, 1643, died Mashantatack July 5, 1718, daughter of John and Martha (_____) LIPPITT and widow of William BARLINSTONE, whom she had married on March 23, 1661. See below for information regarding John LIPPITT.
At the age of sixteen Roger BURLINGAME enlisted in the British Army, serving in the regiment of his uncle, Roger BURLINGHAM, and eventually reaching the rank of Captain. After his marriage and the birth of his son, Captain Roger BURLINGAME and his company were ordered to America; he landed with his troops at Boston on May 10, 1650. Soon after reaching America he resigned his commission and went up into the Connecticut Valley for the purpose of purchasing a farm, with the intention of bringing his wife and child to America, only to learn that his wife had died.
He was a witness to Court held at Stonington, Conn. in 1654. He and Thomas GRIFFIAN (said to have been the brother-in-law of Roger BURLINGAME, having married his sister, Elizabeth BURLINGAME) purchased one hundred acres of land on Feb. 16, 1656 at Pequot (now New London), Conn. located on the east side ‘of the brook Called misticke’. (Suffolk Deed III:455). He sold this farm on March 1, 1659.
John HARRUD, Roger BURLINGHAM and Thomas RALPH were recognized as the first English settlers of Mashantatuck (Sidney S. Rider, History of Rhode Island Lands). The three settlers claimed to have had a grant from the Cooweeseette Indians bearing the date of June 6, 1662 for 4000 acres at Patuxet, at a place called either Mashantatack or Paquabuck (Providence Town Papers 0120,I:53). By order of the General Assembly of Sept. 25, 1671, they were ordered to make the rate and levy the assessments on the inhabitants of Mashantatack.
Roger BURLINGHAM was elected Deputy to represent Warwick at the General Assembly of May 6, 1690. However, he was not accepted as Deputy since he claimed residence in two jurisdictions (Warwick and Mashantatuck; the Assembly declared the election illegal, ruling that BURLINGHAM resided in Mashantatuck (Proceedings of the General Assembly May 16, 1690). At a Town Meeting of Elections on June 6, 1698 Roger BURLINGAME was chosen as one of seven members of the Town Council.
Roger BURLINGAME and his family were of the Quaker faith. For many years up until 1711, the “Friends” held their meetings in his mansion house (May Day Souvenir of May 2, 1882, The Oak Lawn Baptist Church of Providence).
[JOHN LIPPITT, born England in 1597, died Warwick, 1667 and MARTHA (MARY?) his wife, settled in Salem, Mass. In September, 1635, Roger WILLIAMS and others were banished from Salem because of their religious views. In 1636 WILLIAMS and four companions built their homes in the wilderness on land he purchased from the Indians. In 1638 there were two divisions of this land and John LIPPITT’s name was sixth on a list of fifty-two persons who then held homelots in Providence Plantations. On May 2, 1640 John LIPPITT signed a compact containing proposals for a form of government under the first charter. In 1647 he represented Providence Plantations as it met with other towns for the purpose of forming a government. He removed to Warwick, becoming a recorded landowner in 1648, the year he was elected a member of the Warwick Town Council. Children: Nathaniel; John married Ann GREEN or GROVE; Mary; Moses married Mary KNOWLES; Joseph; Rebecca married Joseph HOWARD (Children’s names from Genealogy of R.I. Families from the NEHGR. Baltimore: GPC, 1989. Vol. I:661)].
[page 2]
Roger BURLINGAME’s will, dated Nov. 28, 1715 and proved Sept. 13, 1718, named his wife Mary [who had predeceased him], daughters Mercy, Alice, sons Roger, Peter, Thomas, John, as well as several grandchildren and two sons-in-law. All children were to share equally, the moveable estate being valued at 199 pounds: 13: 8. Son Roger received fifty acres, and John, Thomas, and Roger received 20s. each.
Glen ALLEN, (hereafter GA), stated that Roger’s father was George Thomas BURLINGAME from Darwich, Kent, England. He wrote that Roger̓s first wife was Mary (_____) with whom he had one son, Roger, Jr., born in England. He then married in Rhode Island in October, 1663 Widow Mary BARLINGSTON with whom he had four children. In 1672 he married Mary LIPPETT with whom he had five children. ALLEN also indicated that Mary LIPPETT was the daughter of John and Mary LIPPETT and an older sister of Martha LIPPETT who married Roger BURLINGAME’s son, Thomas.

CLARK BURLINGAME, son of Ephriam and Julia STETSON (?) BURLINGAME, born West Greenwich, R.I. Oct. 17, 1757, died Door Village, LaPorte, Indiana Jan. 13, 1843; married Fairfield, Franklin Co., Vermont Dec. 6. 1777 PATIENCE SOPER, born Fairfield Nov. 7, 1757, died Utica, N.Y. July 24, 1829, believed to be the daughter of Dr. Joel and Rachel (HILLS) SOPER (Glen ALLEN).
Clark BURLINGAME served in the Vermont Militia in Captain Jonas GALUSHA’s Company, Colonel HERRICK’s Regiment for eight days service in the alarm of October, 1780. The company marched 55 miles; he was paid 1:9:0 (Rolls of Soldiers in the Revolutionary War, 1775-1783, op. cit., p. 247). A family legend from his grandson says he was a member of Colonel Sam HERRICK’s Regiment of thirty men who attacked Skenesboro during the battle of Ft. Ticonderoga in May, 1775. No record of this reported service has been found (Glen ALLEN̓s notes). **Check rolls for GALUSHA’s and HERRICK’s hometowns**
In 1790 Clark and family were residents of Smithfield, Chittenden Co., Vt. The household consisted of two males over 16, two males under 16, and seven females (U.S. Census 1790). He was one of the first Justices of the Peace in Fletcher, Chittenden County, Vermont and in 1798 he was Justice in Fairfield. He was deeded land in “Fairfield, formerly called Smithfield”, County of Chittenden on October 19, 1793 and again on Sept. 6, 1794 (Fairfield, Franklin County Land Records 2:163 and 2:164). [Obviously Fairfield County on the Canadian border was formed from the northern part of Chittenden County]. The family’s removal from this area is signaled by land deeds executed in 1798 and 1799. Clark BURLINGAME sold 100 acres in 1797, additional land also in 1797 and 150 acres on March 3, 1798 (Fairfield, Franklin Co. Land Records 3:150, 4:70, and 3:171). Two deeds executed in 1798 and 1799 describe him as a resident of Tinmouth, Rutland Co, Vt. On Dec. 29, 1798 Clark BURLINGAME of Tinmouth signed at Tinmouth a deed transferring title of land in Smithfield
[page 5]
Franklin Co. and on March 6, 1799 he returned to Fairfield where he signed a deed, neither of which were co-signed by his wife (Fairfield Land Records 4:71 and 4:110).
The following year three families of BURLINGAMEs, Clark, Ephriam, and Wanton, were residing in Queensbury, Washington County, N.Y. (1800 New York Census, Washington Co. Clark BURLINGIM, p. 210; Ephriam BURLINGIM, p. 202; Wonton BURLINGIM, p. 201). *Check Composition of each household*
By 1805 Clark and family were residing in Attica, then part of Genessee Co., New York. He is named as being among those immigrants – a carpenter by trade – who came to Attica Town in 1805, locating up Crow Creek near the center of town. (F.W. Beers, History of Wyoming Co., N.Y. New York: F.W. Beers, 1880, p. 126-7). A deed for land purchased from the Holland Land Co. (Town 10, Range 2) was recorded in 1805. **Source – probably Karen Livsey. Western NY Land Transactions. Baltimore: GPC, 1996. Check*
In 1810 the family was found in Sheldon, Genessee County. **Census composition** Patience is believed to have died in 1829 in Augusta or Utica, Oneida Co., N.Y. where her parents and son, Clark, lived. In 1830 Clark, Sr. was living next door to sons Spencer and Abel in Putnam Co., Indiana. **Census** In 1840 he was in Milwaukee with his son Spencer. **Census** He was living in Door Township, LaPorte Co., Indiana when he died and was buried in Kingston Cemetery of that county in 1843. (Margaret Waters. Rev. Soldiers Buried in Indiana (1942). Baltimore: GPC, 1967 and Glen ALLEN notes).
Children of Clark and Patience (SOPER?) BURLINGAME, all born Fairfield, Franklin Co., Vt. with exception of Spencer:
1. Amey Sept. 6, 1778
2. EUNICE LORRAINE, born Jan. 14, 1781, died probably Gerry, Chautauqua Co., N.Y., Jan. 5, 1857; married probably Queensbury, Washington Co., N.Y., Jan. 24, 1802 ICHABOD MAITOCKS, born Litchfield, Conn. Dec. 23, 1773, died Independence, Allegany Co., N.Y. Mar. 4, 1833, son of James and Sarah (PIERCE) MATTOCKS. Their son James MATTOCKS married Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ RUGG, their daughter Cornelia Adele MNITOCKS and her husband Clark Benjamin ELY were the parents of Lilly Victoria (ELY) LITTLE.
(Glen ALLEN’s grandmother claimed the Eunice-Ichabod wedding took place at Utica, New York. No record of this marriage except a bible record of the date has been found (Notes of Glen ALLEN). The BURLINGAME and MATTOCKS families were near neighbors in the 1800 Queensbury, N.Y. census (Census, Washington Co., pages 209-10).

[…] The subject of the wager was sometimes even more abstruse. For example, about 1690, Thomas EAST and Richard LIGON, of Henrico county, made a bet as to how much “one thousand square solid” contained. If the two should differ as to what was the correct amount, it was agreed that the matter should be referred to Colonel William BYRD and Mr. John PLEASANTS, the latter the most prominent Quaker in the Colony, whose decision was to be accepted as final.8

Henrico county was hardly second to Westmoreland in the lively favor in which its inhabitants held the pastime of horse racing. One of the most popular racetracks in this county was situated at Bermuda Hundred, among the oldest settlements in the valley of the lower James River. Here in July, 1678, a race was run between horses belonging to Mr. Abram WOMACK and Mr. Richard LIGON. In this instance the owners did not ride their horses. One was ridden by Thomas COCKE, the other by Joseph TANNER, a servant of Mr. Thomas CHAMBERLAINE, both of whom were still mere boys. CHAMBERLAINE was selected to call out when the horses were ready to run, whilst Mr. Abram CHILDERS was to act as starter. As no judges appear to have been named, it is probable that the horses were to career over a circular course with the goal situated at the point from which the race began. The persons there would thus be easily able to decide as to which horse won. The horses made a rush, but the one ridden by COCKE, after running four or five lengths, shied from the track. COCKE quickly reining him in, cried out: “This is not a fair start.” CHAMBERLAINE shouted to his servant, who was riding the other horse, to stop, but the young man, when he returned, boldly declared that the race was fairly begun, and in this contention was sustained by Mr. CHILDERS.16
Both LIGON and WOMACK seem to have been deeply interested in horse racing. In 1683 a number of persons who had assembled at WOMACK’s house on some

convivial occasion17 got into an animated discourse on the subject, and soon there was a challenge from one of the company, Edward HATCHER, to run his horse against the horse of Edward MARTIN, who was also present. All exclaimed loudly: “Done, done,” with the exception of Richard LIGON, who started up eagerly. “Mr. Edward HATCHER,” called out LIGON, “my horse shall not run any more to-day or to-night.” HATCHER, uttering a great oath, shouted back that it was his horse, not LIGON’s, and at once led the animal off to a pasture near by, where the races took place, followed by Andrew MARTIN. LIGON now came up, and seizing HATCHER as he was about to mount, said again: “Edward HATCHER, this is my horse, and he shall not run.” HATCHER, seeing LIGON’s determination, turned to the persons who were to act as judges, and exclaimed: “I can’t help it,” meaning that he was prevented from carrying out his agreement, and, therefore, should not be held as liable for the wager as if his horse had lost the race. But the judges refused to listen to him, and directed MARTIN to run over the track alone. When he reached the end of the course, he stopped, dismounted, and fixed his knife in the ground; then, returning to the starting point, claimed the horse which LIGON had asserted to be his own. This was probably the stake. LIGON, however, still refused to give it up, and the dispute finally found its way into the county court.18 The account of this race which appears in the records is of interest as showing how rigid the judges in a horse race at this period were in upholding the terms of an

agreement even under circumstances when, it would seem, the agreement should properly have been considered no longer in force. HATCHER was held strictly to his verbal contract, though the action of LIGON had made it impossible for him to perform his part of it.

There are numerous proofs that many […] important races occurred on the course at Varina towards the close of the seventeenth century. Here, about 1687, a great race took place between the horses of Hugh LIGON and Stephen COCKE, in which Christo-

[Thomas] CHAMBERLAINE, about the same date [1698], was a party to a race which was run on the course at Conecock. His opponent was Richard LIGON, and the wager agreed upon amounted to forty shillings. A gallon of rum was on this occasion provided for the enjoyment of the spectators.26
There was a fifth race track in Henrico county situated at Malvern Hill.

WORSHAM-MARSHALL of CHESTERFIELD
William and George WORSHAM patented 400 acres in Henrico Feb. 15, 1652, “200 acres lying at Olde Towne at Appomattox … and 200 acres being part of a patent granted to Wm. CLARKE, decd., May 6, 1638 and by CLARKE sold to Seth WARD who sold to William WORSHAM Nov. 2, 1640.” (C.P.-239, 556) John WILSON patented 100 acres in Henrico June 6, 1666, bought of Seth WARD. This land lay next to the above patent, and WILSON’s patent recites that the said 100 acres began at the river side … running along an old known fence” being the line parting said WILSON and the ORPHANTS OF GEORGE and WILLIAM WORSHAM. (C.P. 556) It seems that George WORSHAM, died before June 6, 1666, and had a son, George WORSHAM, Jr., for a jury was called in Henrico on May 15, 1678, to determine the dividing line between John WILSON and the land of “Mr. George WORSHAM”, evidently one of the orphans of 1666. (BK.2, p. 48) George1 WORSHAM was Justice for Henrico in 1656 and his son, Captain George2 WORSHAM of Henrico, born in 1648 (deposition) married, Mary, daughter of John PIGOTT of that county, who may have come from Norfolk County, Va. Captain George was a Justice in 1707. (See 33 V 185 for descendants.)
William WORSHAM was deceased several years before May 15, 1678, for his widow married Colonel Francis EPES, who died in 1678, and had three children by him.
It is said that Mrs. Elizabeth WORSHAM EPES was a widow before she married Mr. WORSHAM. She made two wills, one dated July 28, 1678, and the other one dated Sept. 23, 1678. The WORSHAM children were, ELIZABETH KENNON to whom she gave a stone ring, her black gown, green silk petticoat, green satin bodice and ¼ of her money in the hands of Samuel CLAPHAMSON in London; to grandaughter Mary KENNON a stone ring “given me by my sister KING; to daughter MARY WORSHAM, ¼ of her money; to daughter Mary EPES” a new suite which came this year”; to sons JOHN and CHARLES WORSHAM each ¼ of her money. In her second will she describes herself as the widow of Colonel Francis EPES. What estate was given her by his verbal will she wishes divided between her EPES children, viz., William, Littlebury and Mary when they come of age. Executors, Francis EPES, (step-son) and Richard KENNON, son-in-law. (33V-185)
Children of William and Elizabeth WORSHAM:
I. John WORSHAM, m. Mary WYNNE. (See later)
II. Charles WORSHAM, d. 1719.
III. Mary WORSHAM, m. before Apr. 1, 1680, Richard LIGON, b. 1657; d. 1754; (LIGON Book-329)
IV. Elizabeth WORSHAM, m. Richard KENNON of “Conjuror’s Neck”.
[page 383]
John2 WORSHAM was a Justice in Henrico in 1685 and later; also Sheriff for Henrico 1696-97. He held 1104 acres in the Quit Rents of 1704 for Henrico. He married Mary WYNNE, daughter of Major Joshua WYNNE, and his wife Mary JONES, daughter of Major Peter JONES, and Margaret WOOD, daughter of Major Gen. Abraham WOOD. Margaret WOOD JONES married secondly Capt. Thomas COCKE. (See S.V.F. Vol I, p. 221)(V.H.G. p. 180, “daughter,” Margaret JONES should read “granddaughter”)
Captain John WORSHAM died in 1729. A copy of his will was not furnished, but according to pages 185-86, 33 Virginia Magazine, his children were as follows:
Children:
I. John of Henrico; m. Agnes OSBORNE, widow; d. 1745.
II. William of Henrico; married; d. 1748.
III. Daniel of Henrico, married and died before 1729.
IV. Elizabeth; m.(1) Thomas LIGON; (2) Alexander MARSHALL. (See later)
V. Mary, m. ROBERTSON.
VI. Martha, m. WARD.
VII. Anne; m. OSBORNE.
VIII. ; m. POYTHRESS.
IX. Elizabeth; m. William EPES. (See Francis EPES Lineage, by Clarke, p. 224)
Elizabeth WORSHAM, daughter of Captain John WORSHAM, married Alexander MARSHALL of Henrico as her second husband. She is mentioned as “my daughter, Elizabeth MARSHALL…” in Captain WORSHAM’s will.
Alexander MARSHALL was born in 1676 and died May 3, 1743 at the age of 67. His wife Elizabeth was also born either 1676 or 1677 as she died in February 1743/44, aged 67 years. On August 10, 1706, in a proceeding in the Orphans Court of Henrico, “Alexander MARSHALL, who lately married Mrs. Elizabeth LIGON”, was given the care and custody of Lodowick TANNER. (Vol.1694-1739, p. 48) The inventory of the estate of Thomas LIGON was filed May 7, 1705 by John WORSHAM.
Alexander MARSHALL received large grants of land in Henrico. On Jan. 7, 1725, he patented 2000 acres of land on the north side of Appomattox River, and the south side of Butterwood Creek. The land fell in Goochland and on Sept. 28, 1730, he patented 3000 acres of land in Goochland, including the 1000 acres of his former patent and in the same locality. Goochland was cut off Henrico in 1728. Alexander, however, re-patented, on June 3, 1731, 2528 acres on Swift Creek in Henrico, adjacent to Wm. PRIDE, James ATKINS, Francis FLOURNOYS and John WOODBRIDGES; 628 acres heretofore granted June 2, 1721. (PB11-71; 12-334; 14-152) On July 31, 172[photocopy illegible] Henry WALTHALL and Phoebe, his wife, of Henrico, deeded land called “Powell’s Tract” which land they had from their father, Thomas LIGON, to Alexander MARSHALL. (BK 1-192). James ANDERSON and Elizabeth, his wife of Prince George County, deeded Alexander MARSHALL lands called “Powells” which their deceased father Thomas LIGON held. (BK 1-192) These two deeds to Alexander MARSHALL were from the surviving children of his wife Elizabeth, formerly the wife of Thomas LIGON. Two other children were unmarried.
[page 384]
Alexander MARSHALL was a vestryman in Bristol Parish, 1723-24.
Mr. MARSHALL and his wife are buried on the left bank of the Appomattox River near its mouth, upon a highland which belonged to Mr. Richard EPPES. A double head stone still stands there (1955) with the following inscriptions:
