Continuation from Comp 261.
68. Francis (Francois) POSEY2,21,15 was born in 1615 in
Cambrai, France. He died before 24 May 1654 in Charles Co.,
Maryland. At a Court held at Putuxent, Maryland on April 24,
1655, Henry Fox, a creditor, requisted "right to settle the estate of
Francis Posey, deceased", and this was granted. He was christened
in Huguenot.
Francis Posey (Poschet) was a Huguenot and first moved from
France to England about 1630. He sailed for America when he was
nine years old. His family came with a group of 40 emigrants with
William Farrar, Sr., landed on June 11, 1637 and settled in Henrico
County, Virginia. In 1640 he moved to St Mayr's (now Charles)
County, Maryland.
He married in Virginia, as records show he paid for the transport of
persons from Virginia to Maryland. His wife arrived in Maryland
around 1743 under the protection of a Mr. Fenwick who paid for
her transportation and who was reimbursed by Frances Posey for
such cost. Seven years later he received a grant of 50 acres for land
for the transport of "His now wife" into Maryland. He also
received land grants in Maryland for the transport of other people
into the providence.
The first record found of him in America was in Henrico County,
Virginia in 1636. His name appears as "Fr. Posey" on a list of 40
headrights for 2,000 acres of land in Henrico County that belonged
to a William Farrar. His name appears along with two others on an
"oath of Fealty" dated January 2, 1640 in Maryland. He received
100 acres of land, not the normal 50 acres that was given to an
individual. This indicates that he was know by friends in Maryland
before his arrival. These friends may have known him through his
family in France or the church in England. On March 16, 1641 he
was present, along with all freemen, at the Assembly and was
recorded as a citizen from St Clements Hundred.
He was a Planter and grew tobacco. Records show that he had
purchased 3,450 acres over a period of 10 to 15 years. Records
also show that he paid 170 pounds of tobacco for suit of clothes,
the payment due on March 1, 1642. He served as proxie for seven
other persons, therefore casting eight vores. He served on many
juires over the years and as the Burgess in the Assembly from 1641
to 1650.
He was married to Elizabeth HUMPHREYS about 1643 in Charles
Co., Maryland.
69. Elizabeth HUMPHREYS2,14,15 was born about 1610 in
England. She died about 1674 in Province of Maryland. Her last
name may have been spelled Humphries.
She was born in England and married in Maryland. She arrived in
Maryland under the protection of a Mr. Fenwick who paid for her
transportation and who was reimbursed by Frances Posey for such
cost. She made a deposition under oath as "Elizabeth Posey" on
November 30, 1647 in Charles County, Maryland.
72. William SMOOTE2 was born about 1597 in
England/Neitherlands. He died after 1665 in Charles or St Marys
Co., Maryland.
It is believed that the Smoote family were natives of the
Netherlands where the name may have been spelled Saute. This
name has also been found spelled Smeete in this country. Marriages
occured between the House of Smoot and the nobility and gentry of
that Province. A coat-of-arms was found. The William Smoote
family of Maryland had the name and traditions of the Dutch House
of Smoot and bore a coat-of-arms.
William Smoote was among the pioneer immigrants who resided
first in the Colony of Virginia and later moved to the Province of
Maryland. There are no known family or Bible records that supply
names and dates of his family. The date of birth is estimated by
three depositions made under oath within a period of ten years.
The exact date of his arrival in Virginia is unknown. By court
records it is known that he was in Virginia in 1633, 1637 and 1640.
He paid for the transportation of eight persons to the Virginia
colony. The names of these people were omitted on the patent he
received. It is normal to think they were members of his own
family and perhaps some who would be in his employment. A
patent was granted to him in February, 1642 for "fouer hundred
acres of Land in the Clountie of Yorke neare the head of a Creeke
called Tymber Neck Creeke on the north side of Charles river--
being due unto him by and for the transportation of eigh persons
into this Colony". The name Smoote was spelled Smeete on this
document as it has been on other documents of the time.
He was a boatwright, proficient in his trade and recognized and
acceptable to the ship building industry of that era. The family
resided at Hampton and it was there that he carried on his
construction of various types of boats such as the early settlers
needed. He fought against the Pamunky and Chicahominy Indians
and was paid 600 pounds of tobacco when on October 1, 1644 the
Grand Jury met at James City County.
On March 8, 1645 he placed his estate into the possession of
Joseph Hill who stood bound with him for a debt to be paid
Ashwell Batten and soon after moved his family to the Province of
Maryland. A land grant for 300 acres in what is now St. Mary's
County, Maryland was surveyed on April 6, 1646 and the patent
dated June 12, 1647. He later settled on the Wicomico River. A
map of Pickowaxon Hundred, Ca. 1670, shows the location on the
Wiccomicco River on the lands of William Smoote and the
"Smoote Shipyard".
Court records indicate he was active in purchasing land in
Maryland. Deeds also show that he transferred this land to his
sons. Very little is recorded about his ship building in Virginia and
Maryland.
He was married to Grace, maiden name unknown, in England.
Grace's first husband was a Mr. Wood by whom she had one
daughter, Elizabeth. She died on 14 January 1665/1666 in St
Mary's County, Maryland.
He died sometime after January 14, 1665, the death of his wife. He
either died intestate or the records have been lost.
He was married to Grace in England.
73. Grace2 was born in 1612 in England. She died on 14 Jan
1665/66 in St Marys Co., Maryland. Merged General Note: Wood
is the married name of Grace. Maiden name
unknown.
74. BATTEN2.
76. Capt William BARTON Sr.18 was born about 1605 in
England. He died about 1674. The exact date of his arrival in
Maryland has not been found. It may have been as early as 1639.
On April 24, 1655 at the court of St Maries, Maryland he was
appointed a Commissioner of the Provincial Court held at Patuxent.
On October 23, 1636 he was rewarded for his loyalty to his
Lordship.
In a deed of gift dated December 29, 1657 he stated that he was
from "St Clements, Mariner". This gave his place of residence and
his occupation. The name of his home was "Barton Hall". He was
married to Margary.

THIRTEENTH GENERATION
4096. Sir John PHILPOT Lord Mayor of London24,6,16 was born
about 1330 in Kent, England. He died on 25 May 1384 in London,
England.23,20 His will was composed in 1381 and enrolled 26 Jul
1389. He was buried on 12 Sep 1384 in Grey Friars Church,
London, England. This date is in the records of his burial but it is
not know just how it fits in.
His name has been found spelled Philipot, Phillepot, de Philpot,
Philpot and Philpott.
The place and date of his birth cannot be identified for certain,
although a Kent connection has been suggested by the probate of a
Halgestowe will of 1348, supposedly that of his father. The main
weight of his life and interest however were in London, where he
was married and purchased property in 1357. He married three
times in all, each time to women of high social status and wealth.
His first wife, Joanne de Sauneford, who died in November 1374.
His second wife was Margaret "Majery" De Croydon, who lived
for not much over a year after marriage. His third wife was
Margaret Birlyngham, daughter of John de Stodeye Vintner and
former Mayor. They had three children: Edward, Margaret and
Thomasina. She outlived her husband by some 40 years.
His London activities and successes were diverse; a melange of
City finance and politics, combined with service as a royal officer
and a fierce patriotism. As a member of the Grocer's Company, he
was listed as "John Philpott, at the THREE GOLDEN SUGAR
LOAVES, the corner of Durham Yard in ye Strand". He was
appointed Warden of the Fraternity of St. Anthony in 1369. In
1372 he was elected one of the two sheriffs who covered London
and Middlesex, beginning on the same day the first of several
periods (1372-77, 1378-79, 1380-81) as Alderman for Cornhill
Ward. At the same time he acted as parliamentary representative
for London on numerous occasions (1369, 1371 twice, 1377, 1380,
1381, 1383). Such was his recognized standing within royal and
court circles as much as merchant ones, by 1377, that he led a
deputation to both Edward III and his young successor Richard II
in protest of John of Gaunt's demand for the abolition of office of
mayor and its replacement by one of captain.
In 1378 he led a daring raid by fitting out a small squadron of ships
with his own money, and with 1,000 men wrestled from the
Scottish pirate, Mercer, his cache of fifteen Spanish merchant
vessels. This did not go over very well with the noblemen of the
day who complained to the King the he was usurping his power.
He was summoned by the Council to answer for acting without the
King's leave. His reply was that he had spent his money and risked
his men "not to shame the nobles or win knightly fame, but in pity
for the misery of the people and country which, from being a noble
realm and dominion over other nations, has through your supiness
been exposed to the ravages of the vilest race. Since you would not
lift a hand in its defense, I exposed myself and my property for the
safety and deliverance of our country". This made him very
popular with the citizens of London and let to him being elected
Mayor in 1378 and 1379.
He also used his money towards the upkeep of England's coastal
defences and in 1380 he paid for 1 of 2 stone towers 60 feet high,
built on either side of the river below London Bridge, between
which a chain was suspended as further security against possible
French naval incursions. In addition to the regular duties of a
customs official, a position he seems to have occupied by 1363 and
to have retained until his death, he serve on a number of royal
commissions, among them a commission of enquiry in 1380, one to
enforce the statute of laborers in 1381 and one of "oyer et terminer"
in 1381. It was in recognition of his loyalty to the young King,
particularly during the Peasants' Revolt, that Richard II knighted
him in June 1381. It has been stated that during the Peasants'
Revolt, he and Henry Walworth, his successor as mayor of London,
assassinatd the rebel leader Wat Tyler and thereby received their
reward from the 14-year old king Richard II.
His money worked well for the Crown. His name regularly
appeared among the top half dozen donors on list of individual
contributions to City loans to the Crown. His business interests
seem to have encompassed the import and export of cloth and wool
as well as the more luxury items with which the Grocers and
especially the Pepperers, an earlier and constituent part of the
Company, were identified. They extended further to the amassing
of property investments in London, Kent, Middlesex and
Northumberia.
Following his death, his will revealed the extent of his enduring
attachment to London. Certain of his premises were charged with
the payment of a daily alma to 13 Deserving men and women. The
reversion of lands not otherwise disposed of was left to the Mayor,
Alderman and Commonalty of their own use in the improvement of
the City of London.
Philpot Lane, a short street in London, is said to be named after Sir
John. Local tradition points to the two columns in the ground floor
of the offices at 15 Philpot Lane as being on the site of the old
Banquetting Hall of this celebrated Mayor. An old map of London
dated about 1561 shows this area and all the street names. Most of
this area was burned in the Great Fire of 1666, destroying nearly all
the buldings.
Paragraph from the book "Catalogue of the Tombs In the Churches
of the City of London A.D. 1666" by Major Payne Fisher, B.A
reads: "Sir John Philpot, or Philipot, Knight, Lord Maior, anceftor
to the worthy and knightly family of the Philipots in the county of
Hants. (& w. Lady Jane Stamford. 1384: Chrift Chruch.)"
He was married to Joanne DE SAUNEFORD about 1357.26
