JOHN MANWARING OF NEW JERSEY and Allied Families by Charles William Mainwaring. Cullman, AL: The Gregath Company, 1982. Page 210-212
"In the record Books for 1715-21 is a deed of lease and release, a complicated legal artifice for transferring title, dated 18-19 March 1716/7 from 'Thomas Needham and Margaret his wife of the County of Elizabeth City to William Dandridge, Gentlemen for that Lott of Ground or halfe acrew of Land...in the town of Hampton on South Hampton river...beginning at a stake in the ground on Joseph Wragg lott', witnessed by Edmd. Kearny, Michll. Kearny, Thomas Howard."

"About 1730 Thomas probably transferred his lands to his eldest son, Christopher, and moved to North Carolina." He purchased from Cornelius Jones on 14 March 1732/3 336 acres of land on the north side of the Pasquotank River, beginning at the mouth of the Beaver Dame Swamp (deed also mentions Raymans Creek), "the remaining part of a Pattent formerly granted to Captn. Corns. Jones bearing date the 9th Day of Jany. Anno Dom 1713/14," . The deed refers to Thomas Needham as "of the County of Elizabeth City Virginia."

"The account of the Quit Rents in arrears for Pasquotank precinct since 1732, dated 12 June 1735 lists Thomas Needham with 336 acres. Almost the entire population neglected to pay their quit rents in this period. The Pasquotank tax of 1739 lists 'Thomas Nedham' with 2 polls in the district of John Relfe, on the northeast side of the Pasquotank River. In 1742 the list of Cornelius Relf has:
Thos. Nedham Senr. 1 white poll 3 black polls
John Nedham 1 white poll
Thos. Nedham Jur. 1 white poll"

After the death of Thomas Needham, his land was divided 5 July 1744 by his sons:
Know all men by these Presents that we the Subscribers John Needham Gideon Needham & Thomas Needham according to the last Will & Testament of our deced. Father have divided the Land between us which was left to us in said Will...Viz John Needham's Land lying on the Easternmost part of the Tract & beginning at a Branch near the Mouth of Raymonds Creek and up the said Branch to a Red Oak, then by various courses to a white Oak at the back Line Gidion Needham's Land adjoining on the westward part of the same...Thomas Needham's Land adjoining westward of the same.
Wit: William Burgess, Josiah Wait

Thomas Needham's son, John, moved to Randolph Co., and it is presumed that those Needhams already living in Randolph Co. also descended from Thomas. Other families from the Pasquotank Co. area that moved to Randolph Co. area included: POOL, PUGH, BRAY, LAMB.

20. Thomas of Stoke at Oxfordshire and Gregories, in County Buckingham, who married Anne Keate. She was the daughter of Sir John Keate of Stoke, Oxfordshire.

"Robert Waller was the Owner of Gregorie's in Buckinghamshire, England. shortly before his death in 1616 he was planning to sell Gregorie's to his first cousin Thomas Waller, but the transaction was not completed. Technically, Gregorie's descended to Edmund Waller, the Poet, Robert's Eldest Son. Edmund (the Poet) later joined with his mother Anne (Hampden) Waller in 1624 in a deed of this property in favor of Thomas Waller, born about 1610, and son of Edmund and Mary (Smith) Waller. After the death of Thomas in 1682, Gregorie's passed to Thomas's eldest son, Edmund who was Sheriff of Buckinghamshire in 1689 and was living in 1702."
