Subject: [LDR] re: Questions about family of Nicholas Waddelow
Date: Fri, 05 Apr 2002 10:24:43 -0800


Barb Holmes asked several questions concerning the source for some of my
data. Here is my reply.

What would be the source for Comfort, Patience and Temperence being
children of Nicholas Waddelow?

Page 700 - 701 - Virginia's Eastern Shore by Ralph T. Whitelaw

"1660 Patent reissued to Waddilow, and later in the year he died
intestate, leaving a widow Amey and daughters Temperance, Patience and
Comfort. Amey married Thomas Fowkes and the daughters married
respectively Robert Mason, William Nock, and Ambrose White."

What is the source for Ami marrying Richard Prichett?
Originally I learned it in a letter from Helena C. Potter of Lewes,
Delaware.
I also have the following source:
On page 442 of "Viginia's Eastern Shore" N80 Northampton County the
following is written:
"1640 Patent to Garret Anderson (sometimes given as Andrews in the
records) for 100 acres. ("Note on page 443 says that this patent also is
not in the Patent Books at Richmond, but it was recorded in 9
Northampton County Deeds, 1657-66, page 90, where it was stated that it
also was issued by Governor Francis Wyatt on July 10, 1640.")
"1639 A release to him is of interest for its antique legal
phraseology:
'These presents shall testifie that I Nathaniell Littleton of
Accamacke Esquire hereby freely and absolutely aquit exonerate and
discharge Garrett Andrews of Accamacke, Carpenter, of and from all and
singular debts, Bonds or demands whatsoever from the beginning of the
World untill this present day, not withstanding anythinge to the
contrary.'"
"1648 Garrett Anderson (wife Amey) left to his son Peter Anderson
half of his 400 acres, left another 100 acres to a son-in-law Richard
Prickett, but said nothing about the final 100 acres. In colonial times
"son-in-law" often was used as equivalent to the term "stepson" of
today, and on that assumption an effort was made to find a previous
Prickett husband for the wife Amey, but without success, and young
Richard himself soon disappears from the record."
"There was also no further record found of young Peter Anderson,
and it is unfortunate that the elder Anderson did not mention his other
children, but later records reveal that he had at least two: William
Anderson and Amy the wife of John Parker of Mattapany. The widow Amey
Anderson next married Nicholas Waddilow, by whom she had three
daughters, and finally married Thomas Fowkes, by whom she had no known
issue."


The source for Ami possibly being a Heath

"There is some thought that Amy was the daughter of William Heath, whose
estate Garret administered in 1640. William and Amy's names appeared on
certificates of transport." (Currently can not say where I found this
quote-with time learned to be better at citations.)
