The Willoughby family as far as I have it, goes back to Sir John de Willoughby, a Norman Knight - Lordship of Willoughby in Lincolnshire , a gift of William the Conqueror, he was born ca 1040 - died about 1100. Our immigrant ancestor, William Willoughby, son of John Willoughby and wife Anne, was born ca 1623 and was in Virginia in 1652. He went from there to Dorchester/Caroline Co., Md. where he died ca 1712. He appears to have been a Ship's captain or owner, as he transported goods and passengers to Dorchester Co., Md in the mid to late 1600's. (See info from the Maryland Hall of Records). He was married first to Hannah ? and 2nd to Anne ?. He left a will and named wife Anne, sons Andrew, Samuel, Edward and daughter Sarah. First wife Hannah signed papers with him until about 1702. His daughter Sarah was listed as his young daughter, which leads one to think that she may have been by the 2nd wife Anne.

Here is a breif picture of what I know re: the Willoughby's. Immigrant ancestor, William Willoughby b. ca 1620, England. immigated to America, perhaps thru Barbados and was in Virginia ca 1650. He moved on to Dorchester, later to be Caroline Co., Md. He was a ship owner or a Captain of a ship as he transported goods and people (info taken from Maryland Hall of Records). He settled on the Great ChopTank River, in Maryland. He had at least the following children ( who were mentioned in his will: Andrew, Edward, Samuel and Sarah. He was first married to a Hannah and then to an Anna. Anna perhaps was the mother of Sarah as his will referred to her as his young daughter. He died ca 1712.
I don't know much about the others except Andrew, who left a will and had at least 6 children I believe (don't have info at my finger tips). One of them was Richard, who eventually moved to Johnston Co., N.C. Richard was married to a Margaret Vincent/Vinson (I think). Among Richard's children were, Edward, Anthony, Solomon, Richard Jr. and Rachel and a couple of others I can't recall at the moment. At least 2 of these sons moved from Johnston Co, N.C. to Kentucky. From there descendants moved to middle Tennessee as well as other places. I believe that Edward was in Richmond Co, NC in 1790, but don't know where if anywhere he and his descendants went from there. There were Willoughby's in Sullivan Co, in Eastern Tenn early on which most probably descended from some of these Willoughbys, My particular line of Willoughby's descend thru Richard Jr. and some of them moved down to Robeson Co, N.C. Others went to S.C. among other places.
I don't have a lot of info on the younger generations but do have some contacts that are desended from that Ky line. The immigrant William was the son of John Willoughby, who was the son of Christopher etc. Too much to put here. This line goes back to the Lord Willoughby's of England. If you check out the Burke's Peerage on royalty, (not sure of the exact name), you will find the Willoughby's listed there. Thre was a line of Willoughby's in the New England states and if I remember correct they also descend from the same Willoughby's in England thru another son. The title of Lord Willoughby never got down to the ones who immigrated to America. There appears to be 4 or 5 different groups that settled here. The one in New England, the Maryland group, a Virginia group and maybe one in Pa. I believe however that that some of these descend from William of Maryland. There was a grandson Job Willoughby that I saw mentioned in one of these messages that I am pretty sure is of this same line.
If you have specific questions, e-mail me and I will try to share my info with you as well as give you names of some contacts.

In Reply to: Willoughbys of Eastern Shore, MD by Cathy Downes of 1062
I am sorry I can't give you any info on the particular Willoughby's that you are asking about, but let me share a little info on the Willoughby's that settled on the Eastern Shores of Maryland. Particularly in Dorchester/Caroline Counties. I think before that it may have been part of Talbot Co. At any rate, one William Willoughby, b. ca. 1620 in England, the son of John and Anne Willoughby, came to America via Virginia and possibly via Barbados, and settled in Maryland ca 1670-1680. William was in Virginia in the 1650's and then on to Maryland. He was a Plaster or stone mason of some sort, as well as an Indian Fighter (whatever that means) and he also was either an owner or a Captain of a ship, as he received payment for transporting people as well as goods into Maryland. (The info was obtained from some records at the Maryland Hall of Records at Annapolis. He owned land on the Great Choptank River in Maryland. His wife was Hannah and he died ca 1713. Hannah evidently died before William, as he had a 2nd wife Anne, who was named in his Will. He also had sons Andrew, Samuel, & Edward and also a daughter Sarah. He could have had other children, as he listed Sarah as his youngest daughter. His will was written in 1712 and probated in 1713. The will was listed as Willoby. A lot of folks back then did not know how to spell the name, as a lot of folks today don't know how to spell. You might want to check all possible spellings, and there are a few. At any rate, I have my line traced thru Andrew, who had six or seven children (don't have that info at my fingertips at the moment), one of them being Richard Willoughby who later moved to Johnston Co., NC. As I said, I have my particular line traced to the present day, but have not had the chance to do much on the other children of William or Andrew. I do have a little more on the ancestors of Richard Willoughby, but not all.
I guess what I am trying to say is if you take a look at that line of the Willoughby's, you might luck up and find one of your names there somewhere. By-the-way, those given names were repeated over and over again, making it hard to sort them out as to which was which. It makes the DOB and the age more important to determine if you have the correct generation or not.
If you can tie into this Willoughby family, I have the lineage back to about 1000. The line also ties into descendants of Charlemagne. If you want more info, you can e-mail me directly and I will be happy to share what I have.
NOTE: Both William and Andrew Willoughby left a Will, as did Richard Willoughby of Johnston Co., NC. Don't know about the rest.

For those of you who are interested in information on Willoughbys in VA; MD; NC; KY, etc. contact the following people. They have information on some of the Willoughby's that you are looking for. Laurita W. Sledge, 835 Sledge Road, Alvaton, KY 42122. Also Mary Sue Willoughby Hubbard, 800 Minerva Dr., Murray, KY 42071; you can also contact Mary W. Villines, 6434 Thunderbird Dr., Nashville, TN 37209-2826; Also contact Mr. D.A. Willoughby, 1223 Coffee Ave. Murfreesboro, TN 37129. D.A. Willoughby at one time wrote a family newsletter called "Willows". I don't believe that he is still writing it, but I think for the cost of postage and coping it, he will send you copies of the past ones. He sent me several copies that were quite informative and one of them had a list names and addresses of all his Willoughby subscribers and folks that provided him with information. There is also a lady that I have heard about who is quite knowledgeable about the Willoughby family named Ruth Willoughby Doherty, #4 Par Lane, Pine Bluff, AR 71603. Also Otis Willoughby 720 Iris Ave., Boulder,Co. 80304. Otis seems to a descendant of a different branch of the family than William Willoughby, of Dorchester/Caroline Co., Md. Some of you may be looking for some of his ancestors, and I am assured that he is very knowledgeable on his Willoughby family.
The Willoughby family as far as I have it, goes back to Sir John de Willoughby, a Norman Knight - Lordship of Willoughby in Lincolnshire , a gift of William the Conqueror, he was born ca 1040 - died about 1100. Our immigrant ancestor, William Willoughby, son of John Willoughby and wife Anne, was born ca 1623 and was in Virginia in 1652. He went from there to Dorchester/Caroline Co., Md. where he died ca 1712. He appears to have been a Ship's captain or owner, as he transported goods and passengers to Dorchester Co., Md in the mid to late 1600's. (See info from the Maryland Hall of Records). He was married first to Hannah ? and 2nd to Anne ?. He left a will and named wife Anne, sons Andrew, Samuel, Edward and daughter Sarah. First wife Hannah signed papers with him until about 1702. His daughter Sarah was listed as his young daughter, which leads one to think that she may have been by the 2nd wife Anne.
