Capt. John Drummond1

M, b. circa 1637, d. before January 6, 1714

     Capt. John Drummond was born circa 1637 at England; John Drummond gave several depositions in Accomack Court in which his age was given. The first, on 22 May 1663, states he was about 26 years old, placing his birth circa 1637.1 He John was named as a headright on 10 March 1652 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that John Drummen (sic) was shown as a headright for Jenkin Price when he was granted 100 acres in N'hamp County. Jenkin Price patented 800 acres in N'hamp County on 26 Apr 1655, apparently a repatent of the first 100 acres plus 700 additional ones, for John Drummer (sic) was again named as a headright. on March 10, 1652.1 He John Drummond's name appeared a number of times in early Accomack records, which started in 1663. He was appointed a constable "from the head of Cradock Creek to the head of Pungoteague Creek" on 21 Apr 1663. On 17 Jan 1666 John Drummond was to be sworn as constable "from Pocomoke to the south side of Deepe Creek on the Bay Side and to Mattomkin Bridge on the Sea Side. He served on jury duty many times in the early years. On 19 Nov 1677 Herbert Jeffreys, Governor of Virginia, appointed eight "honest persons as county justices and commissioners for monthly courts. John Drummond was one of those named (Acc Co Orders 1676-1678, pp. 69 & 70). On 6 Apr 1697 when the will of John Lewis Senr. was presented to court for probate, John Drummond, one of the witnesses thereto, "being present in court did declare after the manner of Quakers in ye presence of God that he writ the said will and saw it signed and sealed by the testator (Acc Co Orders 1690-1697, pp. 234 & 235). in 1663.1 He He was on the list of tithables at Accomack Co, VA, in 1663. He was shown as Jno. Durmon with 3 tithes. in 1663.1 He married Patience Hill, daughter of Capt. Richard Hill and Mary Drake, circa 1666 at Accomack Co., Virginia.1 Capt. John Drummond John was named as an heir on 31 July 1668 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that William Gowers named John Drummond & his sons Richard & John Drummond in his will. on July 31, 1668.1 He John patented land on 18 September 1672 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that John Drummond was granted a patent for 800 acres. He bought 600 acres from Richard Bundick and wife Ruth on 25 Mar 1673. This was part of the land Richard Bundick had patented in Parker's Neck, and John Drummond left it to his sons Robert & James in 1714. He also bought 300 acres from Gentlemen John Custis in 1690, land he and wife Patience sold to John Taylor in 1705. (NOTE: Nothing has been found of the 800 acres John Drummond patented in 1672. Evidently this was land someone else had already claimed and land patent did not hold. There is no record of this patent in the Virginia Land Patents in Richmond and John Drummond did not leave it in this will, nor has any record been found of him selling it.) on September 18, 1672.1 He John Drummond, who died in 1713, was one of the Trustees of the Guilford Quaker Meetinghouse at Muddy Creek in Accomack County from 1679 to 1692. in 1679.1 He The Quit Rents of Virginia compiled by Annie Laurie Wright Smith, shows John Drummond owning 1,550 acres in Accomack County in 1704. in 1704.1 He left a will on October 10, 1713 at Accomack Co., Virginia; He made a will on 10 October 1713 at Accomack Co, VA.

Capt. Richard Hill1,2

M, b. circa 1608, d. before November 21, 1664
     Capt. Richard Hill The following account of Captain Richard Hill was taken from Ayres - Dawson and Allied Lines, Volume 1, pages 95-148, by Henrietta Dawson (Ayres) Sheppard, printed by The American Historical Company, Inc., New York, 1961. Captain Richard Hill was a co-founder of the Providence of Maryland. He was born in England circa 1608-10 and was one of the 320 voyagers that came to St. Mary's County in the vessels the Ark and the Dove that sailed from Gravesend, England in 1633. They stopped at Isle of Wright and departed from Cowes, England on 22 Nov 1633 and landed in Maryland on 25 Mary 1634. He was one of the 15 ablemen who were selected for Cecil Calvert, Lord Baltimore, by his brother Leonard Calvert, because of the technical abilities to construct a new settlement. He was a carpenter and joiner. His name was first recorded in Maryland as Hills. He was first mentioned in the records of the settlement on 21 Feb 1638/39. Sometime between 1635 and 1640 Richard Hill, carpenter, made a trip across the Chesapeake Bay to the Eastern Shore of Virginia to the region of Drake's Neck on the bay side, where he meet Robert Drake Jr., Gent., and thereafter married his sister Mary Drake, daughter of Robert Drake Sr., Gent., dec'd. The Drakes had settled there as early as 1634. Captain Richard Hill of Maryland was not the Richard Hill, a 13 year old servant, who in 1635 was brought into Accomack Co from England by William Melling, Gent. On 1 Feb 1642/3 he was named to a jury in St. Mary's County, MD and on 16 Mar 1642/3 Richard Hills, carpenter, brought suit against David Whitcliff for 340 lbs tobacco. This David Wickliffe later moved across the Potomac River to Wakefield in Washington Parish, Westmoreland County and his daughter married John Washington of Bridges Creek. On 11 Jan 1643/4 Richard Hill, carpenter, brought suit against John Hollis for 500 lbs tobacco and on 7 Oct 1644 Richard Hills, carpenter, brought suit against Joseph Edlo for 600 lbs tobacco and William Tompson, administrator of the estate of Robert Tuttey dec'd paid Rich: Hill 40 lbs tobacco. All of these court actions too place in St. Mary's County, MD, after which his name disappears from Maryland records for 5 years. After leaving Maryland late in 1644 or early 1645, and moving to Westmoreland Co, VA, only twice later in his life does Richard Hill appear as having dealings with Marylanders, in 1649 and 1650. In 1645 he evidently made a journey to England and returned to Accomack County by 18 Jun 1647 with his wife Mary, a daughter of Robert Drake, Gent., and Joan (Gawton) Drake, of the noted Drake family of Devonshire, Dorset, London and vicinity, whom was in Accomack County by 1634, and their daughter Mary Hill. It was not until 10 May 1652, almost 5 years later, that he exercised his right to the 300 acres. During these 5 years he crossed over the Chesapeake Bay with his family and entered upon some ventures in the part of Northumberland Co, VA that in July 1653 became set off from that county as the new county of Westmoreland. It was in that part of the Westmoreland region that his son Richard Hill Junior and daughter Patience were most likely born. On 24 Jan 1651/2 Richard Hill was on a jury in Northumberland Co, VA. On 30 Mar 1652 he was on a visit to Northampton Co, VA when he gave the oath of allegiance to the Commonwealth of England. On 10 May 1652 Richard Hill returned briefly to the northern part of N'hamp Co (now Accomack Co) when he made use of the certificate for 300 acres of land near his wife relatives. Capt. Richard Hill, who evidently had a sailing vessel, seems to have entered into speculation in lands in Westmoreland County over considerable periods of time. He began purchases of land in there about 1655, while holding the land on the Eastern Shore near his wife's family. On 12 Jul 1655 he purchased 300 acres in Westmoreland County from John Brooke which was at the head of Pope's Creek. On 14 Feb 1660/1 Richard Hill and wife Mary, when living between Pope's Creek and Mattox Creek in Appomattox Parish, later named Washington Parish, sold nearly all of the 300 acres to Richard Griffin. On 4 Sep 1661 Richard Hill received a patent in Westmoreland County for 663 ½ acres on the south side of Potomac River, 500 acres on Pope's Creek. On 18 Aug 1662 Richard Hill and his wife Mary sold 63 ½ acres to John Fissell. By this time Richard Hill and his wife Mary decided to remove permanently to the Eastern Shore of Virginia where her Drake family and other lived on land adjoining Richard's 300 acres. On 29 Oct 1662 Richard began to "cash in" on the 20 headrights he had obtained as a certificate was granted to Richard Hill Senior for 1,000 acres due him for a list of 20 individuals, including a John Ayres. On 23 Feb 1663 he was granted a patent in Accomack County for 1,000 acres at Hunting Creek bounded on the north by the creek, and running southerly towards Deep Creek. He called a part of his land on Hunting Creek as on Drake's Neck. His son Richard Hill Junior had become of age and on the same date, 23 Feb 1663, and was allowed by his father to turn in 4 headrights and to receive for them 200 acres of land in Accomack County in the woods near the head of Occahannock Creek adjoining a great swamp separating it from the land of William Taylor. On 2 Sep 1664 Richard Hill Junior was granted a patent for 650 acres near the head of Occahannock Creek near Alphonso Ball, James Gray, William Taylor and Bartholomew Meares, 200 from the above and 450 more for transporting 9 other persons. On 29 May 1665 Richard Hill Senior and his wife Mary made their last sale of property in Westmoreland County on Pope's Creek (now called Wakefield) next door to Col. John Washington. On 17 Dec 1667 Capt. Richard Hill appears as a Justice of the Accomack Court and served for several years. He was reappointed on 17 May 1675. When Capt. Richard Hill wrote his will on 26 Mar 1688 he did not name his son Richard Hill Junior. Evidently Richard Junior had gone to England; he had become a master mariner, succeeding his father and so became entitled to the designation of Captain. On 16 Aug 1690 the Lt. Governor of Virginia, Francis Nicholson, had received a letter from the gentlemen that preserve the peace and execute laws in Maryland wherein they informed him that one Capt. Richard Hill an inhabitant in Maryland who was now on board a ship in the fleet going for England had uttered diverse treasonable words against their Majesty and had raised forces to oppose their Majesty's interest in Maryland. This Richard Hill Jr. had left Accomack County before Aug 1687 and before then had settled in Somerset Co, MD. The 29 Aug 1687 will of William Stevens of Rehoboth in Pocomoke, Somerset Co, MD referred to the plantation on which Richard Hill now lives as tenant of Edmund Howard. Richard seems to have received his patrimony long before his father died and thereafter to have followed his own inclinations.1 He was born circa 1608 at England.1 He He came to Maryland in the Ark and the Dove expedition in 1633, one of 320 adventurers who, upon their arrival, founded the Province of Maryland.

Richard Hill Richard patented land on 18 June 1647 at Northampton Co, VA. It was on this date that a certificate was granted to Rich. Hill for 300 acres of land due him by 3 assignments from Edm. Scarburgh being: Thos. Edmonds, Rich. Harris & Hen. Peters and for his own rights for transporting Mary Hill Senr, Mary Hill Junr & Thos. Holle. on June 18, 1647.1 He He gave a deposition on 30 August 1647 at Northampton Co, VA. The deposition of Rich: Hill, taken in open court, saith that in July, was twelve months, Mr. Edm: Scarburgh (having occasion to go to Dunn) borrowed a mare of Mr. Jno Pottes; the said Mr. Scarburgh rod upon his own horse, and this deponent rod upon Mr. Pottes mare, and we rod but at a foot pace backward & forward only the plain path between Dunn & Piminoe, we rode at a hand gallop. And when we came home we walked the mare half an hour & better (to the best of our judgment) the mare was then well. Furthermore this Deponent saith that when the mare was brought home & turned out, she hung down her head & would not feed. Signed Rich: Hill. on August 30, 1647.1 He He received by deed of gift in 1651 at Northampton Co, VA.
