Historical Facts - Lt. Col. John Smith of Purton - Speaker of the Virginia House of Burgesses & First Governor of William & Mary College; & Daughter Mildred Smith Descendants are Queen Elizabeth II & current King Charles III

[here we see the Smith line of ancestors making a play on the overachiever Prince line]

per Middlesex County Museum & Historical Society:

  • Two early plantations; Purton in Gloucester Co. , and Shooters Hill in Middlesex Co. were locations where the Smith Family settled.

  • Purton Bay on the North shore of the York River and the land around it are very significant to Virginia history.

  • First, the original Indian village that was Chief Powhatan’s home in 1607 was located there, when the English settled Jamestown. This is also where Pocahontas saved John Smith in 1607. It is called “Werowocomoco” and had been a significant village for hundreds of years.

  • The Indians abandoned it in 1609-11 due to “English pressure from settlement”.

  • Then in 1642 William Pryor, a very early and Purton Bay’s first English settler, was granted a land patent for 1300 acres around Purton Bay. Next, in 1647 Richard Bernard came to Virginia, and took a lease on Pryor’s property. He was developing the property and the home when he died in 1648-50. In 1652 his wife Anne (1636-1698) purchased Purton Plantation and added 1000 acres to the property for a total of 2300 acres. Anne married John Smith [the father of John Smith that this Historical Fact is about] (1627-1680) in 1652. John [the father] had just arrived in Virginia in 1652, probably at Jamestown.

  • Their son “Lt. Col. John Smith of Purton” (1662-1698) was Speaker of the Virginia House of Burgesses, in 1680.

  • That year he also married Mary Warner (about 1665-1700) daughter of Augustine Warner builder of “Warner Hall Plantation” in Gloucester.

  • Today the National Park Service owns Werowocomoco (part of Purton Plan) and will someday open it to the public again.

  • John & Mary’s daughter, Mildred Smith was born at Purton in 1682 and married Robert Porteus of “New Bottle,” a neighboring plantation, in 1700.

  • Mildred Smith is the sixth great grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II and the seventh great grandmother of the present King Charles III.

Historical Facts - Kincaid Clan

  • The name Kincaid, it is supposed, is territorial in origin, or possibly from ‘ceann cadha’, the ‘steep place’ or ‘pass’ but could also be ‘of the head of the rock’, or even ‘the head of the battle.’

  • The lands of Kincade were granted to Maldouen, third Earl of Lennox by Alexander III in 1238 the Earl then passed these lands to Sir William Galbraith, the fourth chief.

  • The direct male line ended in three sisters which resulted in the partitioning of the estate. One sister married a Logan and were confirmed lands of Kyncade by the fourth Earl of Lennox.

  • The family took their surname from the area which was around 30,000 acres.

  • Kincaids were present during Scotland’s wars of independence; one family member fighting against Edward I and recapturing Edinburgh castle in 1296. A Kincaid was made constable of the castle and Robert the Bruce granted that the castle to be added to their arms as a recognition of their achievements.

  • The family estates grew in the sixteenth century, through marriage they gained the estate of Craiglockhart near Edinburgh, the estate of Bantaskin by Falkirk, Blackness Castle and the fields of Warriston, now in Edinburgh.

  • Malcolm Kincaid was involved in a battle against the Stirlings of Craigbarnet in 1563 were he lost his arm, he was also fighting with the Lennoxes of Woodhead in the 1570 before finally being dispatched by a Stirling of Glovat in 1581.

  • In 1600 John Kincaid of Warriston was murdered. His wife and one of his own grooms were implicated. Both were put to death for their crimes, the wife beheaded and the groom ‘broken on the wheel’ a particularly grizzly punishment.

  • Kincaids supported the royalists during the civil war and suffered for this during the ‘protectorate’, prior to the restoration of the monarchy with many of the clan emigrating to America.

  • They also supported the later Stewart cause, also costing them dear both during the 1715 and ’45 rebellions with several Kincaids escaping to Virginia.

  • Towards the end of the eighteenth century the Kincaids became closely linked to the Lennoxes through marriage. The two families grew close, in complete contrast to the situation that had existed between them 200 years earlier.

Historical Facts -Plymouth Colony

  • Plymouth Colony was the first permanent English colony in New England from 1620 and the third permanent English colony in America, after Newfoundland and the Jamestown Colony.

  • It was settled by the passengers on the Mayflower at a location that had previously been surveyed and named by Captain John Smith.

  • The settlement served as the capital of the colony and developed as the town of Plymouth, Massachusetts.

  • At its height, Plymouth Colony occupied most of the southeastern portion of Massachusetts.

  • Many of the people and events surrounding Plymouth Colony have become part of American folklore, including the American tradition of Thanksgiving and the monument of Plymouth Rock.

  • Plymouth Colony was founded by a group of Protestant Separatists initially known as the Brownist Emigration, who came to be known as the Pilgrims.

  • The colony established a treaty with Wampanoag Chief Massasoit which helped to ensure its success; in this, they were aided by Squanto, a member of the Patuxet tribe.

  • Plymouth played a central role in King Philip's War (1675–1678), one of several Indian Wars, but the colony was ultimately merged with the Massachusetts Bay Colony and other territories in 1691 to form the Province of Massachusetts Bay.

Historical Facts - New Netherlands

  • In 1624, a ship with 30 Protestant Walloons (French-speaking people from what is today southern Belgium) landed in New Netherland; 18 of the men were sent to the location near present-day Albany.

  • Under direction of the Dutch, they built Fort Orange roughly 2 miles north of Fort Nassau, which was prone to flooding, and about five miles south of the confluence of the Mohawk River and the North River.

  • The Walloons were later recalled south to settle New Amsterdam.

  • A 1628 publication on the population of New Netherland stated that "there are no families at Fort Orange ... they keep five or six and twenty (25 or 26) persons, traders, there".

  • In 1626, the commander of Fort Orange and a company of men set out from the fort to assist the Mohican people in their war against the Mohawk, the powerful Iroquois tribe based in the Mohawk Valley to the west of the fort.

  • The Dutch party was ambushed and three men were killed approximately a mile from the fort, roughly where Lincoln Park and Delaware Avenue are sited today.

Historical Facts - New Jersey

  • The colonial history of New Jersey started after Henry Hudson sailed through Newark Bay in 1609.

  • Although Hudson was British, he worked for the Netherlands, so he claimed the land for the Dutch.

  • It was called New Netherlands.

  • Small trading colonies sprang up where the present towns of Hoboken and Jersey City are located.

  • The Dutch, Swedes, and Finns were the first European settlers in New Jersey.

  • Bergen, founded in 1660, was New Jersey's first permanent European settlement.

  • In 1664 the Dutch lost New Netherlands when the British took control of the land and added it to their colonies.

  • They divided the land in half and gave control to two proprietors: Sir George Carteret (who was in charge of the east side) and Lord John Berkley (who was in charge of the west side).

  • The land was officially named New Jersey after the Isle of Jersey in the English Channel.

Historical Facts - Warner Hall Plantation

  • Warner Hall is a historic plantation in Gloucester County, Virginia.

  • Augustine Warner, progenitor of many prominent First Families of Virginia, and great-great-grandfather of President George Washington established the plantation in 1642 after receiving a royal land grant, and would serve in the House of Burgesses, as would many later owners.

  • While Augustine Warner Jr. operated the plantation and served as speaker of the House of Burgesses, rebels associated with Bacon's Rebellion sacked and looted it, as well as made it their headquarters after they sacked Jamestown.

  • Warner sought compensation for goods valued at £845, or the equivalent of what 40 slaves or servants would produce in a year, which led to litigation with fellow burgess William Byrd, whom Warner blamed for supporting Bacon but who portrayed himself as a fellow victim.

  • Warner had no male heirs, although his daughter Mildred [sister of Mary Warner] would become the grandmother of George Washington, and his daughter Elizabeth married John Lewis, who assumed the house and surrounding plantation, as well as served in the House of Burgesses, as did their descendants until circa 1820.

Laird definition:

  • The owner of a large, long-established Scottish estate.

  • In the traditional Scottish order of precedence, a laird ranked below a baron and above a gentleman.

  • This rank was held only by those lairds holding official recognition in a territorial designation by the Lord Lyon King of Arms. They are usually styled [name] [surname] of [lairdship].

  • However, since "laird" is a courtesy title, it has no formal status in law.
