"A George Marchbanks arrived on the ship Elizabeth and Ann from Liverpool to the Colony of Virginia 14 January 1716/7.

George Marchbanks bought 52 acres in Henrico County from Michael Camper before 1725 when Daniel Croom and his wife, Elizabeth, relinquished her right in the land. The next record we find for George was a grant for 350 acres in Henrico (later Goochland) County adjoining Manakin Town in 1727. George sold both tracts, along with a house, one slave, and livestock to William Chamberlayne of St. Peter’s Parish in 1729. In 1735 George Marchbanks of Prince George County and his wife, Ann, appeared on the deed with Chamberlayne when he sold the 52 acres to Thomas Dickens.

George was in St. Peter’s Parish where two sons were born 1723-25. Marchbanks was evidently in Amelia County by 11 July 1735 when he registered his livestock mark at the County Clerk’s Office. His was “crop and slit right ear, half crop on underside of left ear.” Livestock marks helped identify free-roaming cattle and hogs.

On 5 June 1736, Marchbanks obtained a patent for 525 acres in Amelia County on the south side of the Appomattox River next to land of Abraham Echols. This was apparently the 550 acres that Ann and George Marchbanks sold to Andrew Lester of James City County in 1746 for £125. In 1739 he received a grant of 1,579 acres in Amelia County. This land included his early 525-acre patent and was next to that of Benjamin Hubbard, Edward Hubbard, William Hurt, and others. A year later, in 1740 he sold 150 acres to Joseph Collins and 200 acres to John Hampton. Hezekiah Ford, William Clement and William Echols witnessed the first deed and Richard Echols, John Gillintine and William Barkson witnessed the second.

As were most Amelia County residents, George was a tobacco planter. On 12 November 1736, John Bentley, Constable, informed the Amelia County court that George "tended seconds contrary to the law and ordered he be prosecuted and that Stephen Dewey, Deputy Attorney, commence same."

George died in Amelia County (will dated 27 Oct. 1740 , recorded 21 Nov. 1740). He bequeathed his wife his plantation and personal estate for her lifetime. He left 275 acres of land to each of his sons and 100 acres of land to each of his daughters. This would be 1,225 acres, approximately the 1,579-acre patent less the conveyances of 150 and 200 acres. Executors of the will were Ann Marchbanks, William Echols, and Richard Echols. Samuel Bentley, Benjamin Hubbard and Joseph Hubbard completed their appraisal of George’s estate on 28 November 1740. They valued it at £11:2:3.

Ann (Echols) Marchbanks was in court several times as a defendant against individuals with claims against her husband’s estate. Plaintiffs included Edward Booker (£6:6), Abraham Echols (£24:17:9), David Bell (£1:14:10), Thomas Dawson (£4:0:10½), the estate of John Carter (dismissed). Ann Marchbanks appeared as a tithable in Amelia County in 1746 only.

The Marchbanks may have been Quakers. We can find no Amelia County marriage records for Marchbanks children although some appear to have married and lived there. Further, census records of 1782 show the League family in-laws owned no slaves.

Coming to America was evidently not his choice. For more than two centuries, Stuart kings ruled Scotland. James VI became king of Scotland in 1567 when his mother, Mary, Queen of Scots, gave up the throne. When his cousin Elizabeth I died, he became King James I of England. His grandson, King James II succeeded a brother, Charles II, to the throne in 1685. James II, a Roman Catholic, favored Catholics in his policies.
When his wife had a son in 1688, the prospect of another Catholic king united James’s opponents against him. In the “Glorious Revolution” of 1688, James’s Protestant daughter Mary and her husband, William of Orange, ruler of the Netherlands, became joint rulers of England. James fled to France and spent the rest of his life in exile. Yet James had his supporters too and they longed to return a Stuart to the English throne. They called themselves “Jacobites,” a name they derived from the word Jacobus, “James” in Latin. Many Scots, among them the young George Marchbanks, were Jacobites, as were many Englishmen.

On 18 September 1714, a Protestant German prince, who could speak no English, arrived in England. They would crown him King George I. This infuriated the Jacobites. On 6 September 1715, the Earl of Mar called for armed reaction and ten thousand rushed to arms. The government acted at once and Parliament passed the Riot Act to curb disturbances in English towns. Lord Derwentwater rose in support of the Stuarts and raised a band of rebels in Northern England. Four thousand Scots reinforced him. Yet the Jacobite rebellion was brief. On 13 November, the English military beat Derwentwater and the same day Government forces in Scotland met Mar. This latter battle was indecisive but the Jacobites became discouraged and began to desert the cause.

When James II’s son landed in December, no hope for success remained. He could do little but evacuate the leaders of the rebellion to France. England tried many Jacobites and executed thirty. Marchbanks’s reward for participating in the uprising was evidently a trip to the tobacco colonies, an honor often bestowed upon rebels and other low characters."

"Source: Shirley Davis Warren and Pete Philpott.
The exact date of Edward Philpott's birth is unknown. It is believed he was 18 years old at the death of his father. It is estimated that he was married around 1686 to Susanna Posey, daughter of John Posey. He was a mature man when he married and in possession of his fathers land.

Little is known about his life. It is assumed that he and his family lived the life of Planters in Maryland. Court records show that Edward entered in the business of a Planter and fulfilled his duties as a Planter in Charles County, Maryland. He had inherited his father's lands. His signature appears on an article addressed to King William and Queen Mary, expressing the citizens loyalty and happiness and gratitude in their preserving the Protestant Religion. His name appears on deeds for the purchase of land, one called "Philpott's Chance". At his death he owned around 1,000 acres of land in Charles County, Maryland.

Edward's will was dated 1718 and the estate was appraised and an inventory given on October 1, 1718. It was a large inventory with value given "in money sterl as L450 Sh 6 d 2 3/4" with an addition for horses given as "L6 Sh10 d0". In the settlement of his estate the following is found recorded in pounds of tobacco: "Funeral charges...2000 lbs, To Dr. Gustovus Brown...1190 lbs, To Dr. Rutherford ...1016 lbs, To Tubman Nankin & Price for suite of clothes ..250 lbs. Will was probated 28 Oct 1718."
