MEMO: The Hampton family tree is large, and mostly not well documented

MEMO: The Hampton family tree is large, and some of it not well documented. I have included the individuals marked in "hyperlink blue" below in a single document: (If viewing on-line, you can click on the links to jump to the right section.)

I also draw your attention to the individuals circled in red below, because I believe these are better documented. Here I have referenced what seems to be a very carefully documented book, "Adventurers of Purse and Person VIRGINIA 1607-1624/5", Fourth Edition, Compiled and Edited by John Frederick Dorman, C.G., F.A.S.G.

This is a 3-volume set covering the earliest settlers of Virginia and their offspring. The "Fourth Edition" was published 2003-07, "…to commemorate the FOUR HUNDRETH Anniversary of the First Settlement at Jamestown 1607 …dedicated to the memory of those intrepid Adventurers of their Person who suffered hardship and gave their lives that a civilization might be created in the New World and to those Adventurers of Purse who dared to invest in support of the noble venture."

Direct quotes from this Edition will be similarly highlighted in the following text.

Misc. Notes

(The Jamestown colony was founded in 1607. Our earliest ancestor there was Thomas Graves, who arrived in 1608. However the Hampton branch of our family was not far behind!

"William Hampton, son of Laurence Hampton., Sr., of Twickenham, Middlesex, England was baptized in that parish 28 May 1592. He arrived in Virginia in the Bona Nova in 1620 and his wife Joane arrived the next year in the Abigail (with 3 children). They were enumerated in the census, 1623/4, at Buck Roe and were twice listed in the muster, 1624/5, at Elizabeth City, once by themselves, his age being given as 34, and again in the muster of Edward Waters where his age was given as 40 and hers as 25.

"The will of Lawrence Hampton of London, tailor, 9 Nov 1627 – 12 Feb 1628/8, left £10 to his brother William Hampton, "to be paid unto him within twelve months after his return from Virginia in the parts beyond the seas," and if he died before his return from Virginia gave that sum to his sister Philadelphia.

"On 10 Dec. 1627 William Hampton, planter of Elizabeth City County, leased for ten years a 50 acre tract at Buck Roe, bounded on the east by the creek parting the land from Point Comfort Island, and on 13 Aug. 1634 leased for 100 years a 100 acre tract. Finally, 11 Dec 1640, he secured a patent for 550 acres in Elizabeth City County for the personal adventure of himself and Joane his wife and naming Willi. Hampton, Grace Hampton and Eliza. Hampton among the headrights.

"By 25 March 1650 when he patented 700 acres on the east side of the easternmost river in Mockjack Bay, he had moved to the portion of Gloucester County which is now Matthews County. One of the headrights named in this patent is Philad. Hampton, possibly his sister. His will, now lost (reported copied in 1743 by John Hampton "before the courthouse burned"), was dated 5 Sept. 1652 and divided his Gloucester County land between his sons William and Thomas.

Misc. Notes

Many Ancestry.Com sites show Margaret Wade’s mother as Mary Hampton, but this is far from universal. Of those that do, many do not identify Mary Hampton’s ancestry.

However some sites show Mary Hampton as a daughter of Thomas Hampton, which would make Margaret’s husband John II her first cousin.

Many others, however, show Mary Hampton as a daughter of John Sr. Hampton. That would mean Margaret’s husband John II was her uncle!

(Uncle-Niece marriages are presently prohibited in most of the USA, unless you are Jewish and live in Rhode Island. Genetic experts say it is the genetic equivalent of a double-first-cousin marriage, and 20 states do allow that. Uncle-Niece marriages do seem to be allowed in Australia. They were also common among Habsburg Royalty in Europe.)
