I78904: William CARTER II (ABT 1660

Notes

"Willam purchased 172 acres adjacent to Mr. Francis Weekes and Seagar's line by the Green Branch in Jones' line, patent of Abraham Weekes.

The Al Franklin Genealogy page suggests that there were two children named Mary who were born to William Carter and Mary Goodlaw. One of these children is belived to have died as a child. Some of the dates of Williams children are questionable as some of the birth dates are within a few months of each other, however, it is possible that a child may have been taken in by the couple and given the Carter name (maybe the relatives orphan child).

According to the book 'Sotherners All', by F.N. Boney, the Carters came to Virginia from England in about 1637. Robert Carter, William's son and some of the other siblings are mentioned in the gook 'Golden Days In the Old Dominion', 'Colonial Virginia' and 'Liberty and Slavery'. Robert grew up to be very political and was a plantation owner with over 300,000 acres in Virginia.

ID Number: I50762

Notes

"The son of Roger Grenville, captain of the Mary Rose when it sank in the Solent in 1545. He was only three at the time.The Grenvilles lived in a great house at Stowe, near Kilkhampton in North Cornwall.

He himself had became a naval captain, commanding the Revenge. Steeped in naval tradition, he was a cousin of Sir Walter Raleigh and a friend of Sir Francis Drake.

In 1585, while commanding a fleet of five ships carrying colonists to Virginia, he captured a much larger Spanish ship. In 1591, as second in command to Lord Thomas Howard, he took a small fleet to the Azores to lie in wit for a Spanish treasure fleet homeward bound from South America. However the Spanish heard about the English fleet, and sent a large fleet to protect their treasure ships. Lord Howard decided that they did not have enough ships to fight the Spaniards, and ordered the English fleet to up anchors and put to sea. Richard Grenville refused to leave his ninety sick men ashore, and vowed to stay and fight the enemy. On August 31st 1591 the Revenge with about a hundred men fought a battle against some fifty Spanish ships and five thousand men. Battle was broken off as darkness fell, and the next day the Spaniards were amazed to see the Revenge still floating. Its mast and sails were gone, its holds were flooded, and only twenty men were left to fight, including the mortally wounded Grenville. Grenville called on his chief gunner to sink the Revenge to stop it falling into enemy hands, but the remaining crew begged him to surrender. Grenville agreed provided the Spanish would grant them full honours of war, and return them to England immediately. The Spanish commander agreed and the battle ended. Grenville died of his wounds on the Spanish ship. Shortly afterwards an enormous storm sank the Revenge and 14 Spanish ships."

"English naval officer, born in Cornwall. He headed the fleet of seven ships in which colonists organized by his cousin, the English soldier and explorer Sir Walter Raleigh, went (1585) to Roanoke Island, N.C. In 1591 Grenville sailed to the Azores, with Lord Thomas Howard, as second-in-command of an expedition sent to capture a Spanish treasure fleet. His ship, the Revenge, was cut off from the rest of the English fleet and was captured by the Spanish after a battle in which Grenville was mortally wounded. The battle is described in "The Revenge," a ballad by the British poet Alfred Lord Tennyson."

Col. Thomas SWANN

May 1616 - 16 Sep 1680

ID Number: I47445

Notes

"On 1 March 1638/9 Thomas Swann of Swann's Point, Surry, re-patented land in James City County on the south side of the river, as held previously by his father. Most of the Headright patentees named are the same as those on the claim of his father. He also came into possession of an additional 300 acres on the south side of the James River, adjacent to land "Lately belonging to Captain Ralph Hamor, and now in possession of Jeremiah Clements". Thomas Swan was a Burgess for James City from 1645 to 1649; and for Surry from 1657 to 1658. He was a Lieutenant Colonel in 1658, and was appointed a Member of the Council in 1659, which place he held until his death. His name occurs frequently in the records of Surry, of which County he was appointed a Justice and Lieutenant Colonel of the Militia in 1652.

A letter survives written to him from Roger Green at Gravesend on 13 October 1663. It is not known if this Roger Green is a relation, although the tone of the letter seems to imply this. Roger Greene was an emigrant to Virginia in 1635 on board the ship "Abraham", when he was aged 24, and was therefore born around 1610/11 [J. C. Hotten, Original Lists of Persons Emigrating to America 1600-1700, Chatto & Windus, 1874]. On 2 December 1665 Thomas Swann was appointed, along with William Drummond, by Governor of Virginia to look after the ship "Recovery" which had lost her Master owing to his arrest by the Governor, Sir William Berkeley. Berkeley persuaded Roger Newham to accept the post; and after hire by Thomas Swann and William Drummond, he set sail from Jamestown with a cargo of tobacco. This included 44 hogsheads for Henry Spratt, 66 hogsheads for William Drummond and 36 hogsheads for Thomas Swann, as the three main freighters. Their Agents in London were Mr. Shakerly for Swann; John Carrill for Drummond and William Yeoman for Spratt [HCA 13/76].

Thomas Swanne was one of the signatories to a letter sent by the Governor and Council of Virginia to the King and Privy Council, which was presented there on 16 October 1667. This was a complaint against Lord Baltimore, Governor of Maryland, for disallowing the cessation from planting of tobacco for a year, as stipulated by his own Commissioners. The full list of signatories was: Sir William Berkeley, Governor; Thomas Ludwell, Secretary; Robert Wynne, Speaker; Robert Smith; Richard Bennett; Theodore Blande; Thomas Stegge; Nathaniel Bacon; Henry Corbin; Miles Cary; Francis Willis; Thomas Swann; George Reade and Edward Carter.

Colonel Swann, contrary to the majority of wealthy men in Virginia, was a supporter of Bacon in his revolution against Governor Berkeley. For the part he played in the rebellion see the Chapter on "Bacon's Rebellion" in "Colonial Surry".

Thomas Swann died on 16 September 1680 "Being 64 years of age, and was buried at Swann's Point at my grandfather's feet".

"At this time it is clear that Colonel Thomas Swann was involved in the transport and sale of tobacco in England, and had part share in the cargo of a vessel called the "Recovery". Whilst at anchor in the Elizabeth River, Virginia, in 1665 the ship, already in poor condition had lost her Master, who was arrested by the Governor, Sir William Bartlet, to look after the Recovery at this time - Colonel Thomas Swann and William Drummond, he joined the ship The Recovery was carrying a cargo of tobacco: 44 hogsheads for Henry Spratt, 66 hogsheads for William Drummond and 36 hogsheads for Thomas Swann The Correspondents [Agents] in London, to whom the cargo was due to be delivered, were Mr Shakerly for Swann and John Carrill for Drummond. The Royal Commissioners, appointed by Charles II to inquire into the causes of Bacon's rebellion, met at Thomas Swann’s residence at Swann's Point in 1677, and for this courteous act he received a pardon.

Swann's long-time friend, William Drummond, was condemned at a Court Martial held on shipboard in the York River on 11 January 1676/7 and was hanged on 20 January 1676. William Drummond of Virginia was the son of John Drummond and Janet Hayes, and was born in 1620 at Inverness, Scotland. William Drummond was appointed North Carolina's first Governor by Lord William Berkeley of Virginia. He married Sarah Swann, daughter of Edward Swann of Denton Court, in Kent, in 1651 [This statement needs verification]. William and Sarah Swann Drummond had son, John Drummond, born 10 June 1658 in James City County, Virginia. John Drummond later married Mary Robertson in 1706. Sarah Drummond, a daughter of William and Sarah Drummond, married Colonel Samuel Swann of Swann's Point, Surry County, Virginia (see below)."

Col. Thomas Swann from all reports was an only child.

Berkeley's mis-management. In 1671, he bought the east home of the 3 brick homes in Jamestown from Henry Randolph. These houses were burned, but foundations restored. Was a member of old Southwark Church and Parish near Four Mile Tree in Surry Co. A member of House of Burgesses 1645-1680. Lt. Colonel in 1652.

"Swan Family.

The Critic of Richmond, Va. has the following, and more concerning the Swan Family. The Critic on file in the Va. State Library is fast falling to pieces from wear and age, therefore it may be well to copy some of the data given, where it concerns soldiers of the Revolution and their antecedents and descendants.

There was a Thomas Swan, member of the House of Burgesses from James City Co., 1645 and 1649; from Surry, 1657-58; Member of the Council, 1660-1680. He died Sep. 16, 1680.

The English sent to suppress Bacons Rebellion, sat at his house, and he appears to have used his influence for mercy and moderation.

He married five times. The name of his first wife is not known. His second wife was a Miss Codd. Wives number three and four are also unknown.
By his fifth wife he had children:--Mary (married Richard Bland of Jordans), Major Thomas of Nansemond Co. (married Elizabeth, dau. of William Thompson of same Co. and died 1705), Sarah (mar. 1st, Henry Randolph; 2nd, Giles Webb, both of Henrico Co.).

Miss Codd, the second wife of Col. Thos. Swan, is thought to have been the dau. of Col. Saint Leger Codd. She had by Col. Swan, one son, Col. Samuel Swan, b. May 11, 1653. He was a member of the House of Burgesses from Surry."

"I. THOMAS SWANN COL was born in May 1616 at England.
He married MARGARET DELTON, daughter of WILLIAM DELTON, on 13 Jan 1639 at England.
He married SARAH CODD on 13 Jan 1649 at James City, Virginia.
He married SARAH CHANDLER on 30 Jul 1655 at Surry, Virginia.
He married ANN FREEMAN on 12 Aug 1662 at Surry, Virginia.
He married MARY MANSFIELD, daughter of (--?--) MANSFIELD, on 20 Dec 1668 at Surry, Virginia.
He died on 16 Sep 1680 at Surry, Virginia, at age 64."

1. THOMAS SWAN(N), born May 1616. On 1 March 1638/9 Thomas Swann of Swann's Point, Surry, re-patented land in James City County on the south side of the river, as held previously by his father.
