Notes for William Rogers:

Price, Mayor Jay Berry; THE PRICE, BLAKEMORE, HAMBLEN, SKIPWITH AND ALLIED LINES, 1992, Chapter 1, Generation No. 30-A, Pages 43 - 52:

{Pages 50 -51}

  William Rogers of Northumberland and later of Lancaster County was another son of Capt. John Rogers.  On 12 Mar 1677/8 Edward Dale of Lancaster County conveyed to his daughter Elizabeth, wife of William Rogers, Gent., son of Capt. John Rogers of Northumberland County, a tract of 500 acres near the head of Morattico, reserving the use of this land to himself and his wife Diana during their lives.   William Rogers continued to live in Northumberland County for several years longer and on 17 May 1682 was sworn as a justice of the peace and as High Sheriff by order of the Governor,  but by 14 Dec 1687 when he was appointed a member of the troop of horse in the militia of Lancaster County he had moved his residence.   He died in Lancaster County in 1714 and on 14 Apr 1714 administration on his estate was granted to his second wife Mary Rogers.   On 11 Aug 1714 Elizabeth Banks informed the Court that "her dec'd Brother Mr. Wm. Rogers dyed and left two small children which she is doubtful will not have a suitable education."   The Court ordered that Lazarus Conway and William Rogers show cause why Elizabeth Banks should not have the education of one of these children, who are identified as Joseph and George Rogers.

  Joseph Rogers was one of the cousins named in the will of Joseph Hane.  The William Rogers who was ordered to appear in Court was the eldest son of William and Elizabeth (Dale) Rogers.  He died in 1728 leaving a will which named his five children and his brother George Rogers.

[Page 52]

  Since George and Ellen Heale and William and Elizabeth (Dale) Rogers were married about the same time, it is evident that the cousin relationship between their children must be as first-cousins.  It is known that the mother of the Rogers children was Elizabeth Dale.  She can not therefore have been a sister of George Heale and the relationship between the Rogers and Heale children must have been through Ellen, wife of George Heale.  The will of Edward Dale, dated 4 Aug 1694 and proved 11 Mar 1695,  makes it clear that he had only two daughters, Elizabeth the wife of William Rogers and Katherine wife of Thomas Carter.  Ellen, wife of George Heale, must therefore have been the sister of William Rogers.  This identification is further strengthened by the fact that the first wife of Capt. John Rogers was named Ellen, by the fact that both George Heale and his wife bequeathed to their daughter Ellen the land which had come from her mother, and by the frequent use of the names Ellen and Eleanor in both the Heale and Rogers families.

  (4)  Probable errors in both descent and emigration from England to America regarding EDWARD BLAKEMORE the 1st, of Lancaster County, Virginia (died 1738) are to be found in the following 6 references [JRC - and numerious genealogy websites replicate these probable errors]: • • •.

[Pages 55 - 58 Jay Price presents a good discussion and an evaluation by Reita M. Laird on those probable errors.&densp; They also present a far more probable descent which is presented here, which, still needs verification.]

{Pages 57 - 58}

• • •  It is far more probable that EDWARD the 1st was not born in Devon, England at all, but in Virginia, the grandson of a JAMES BLAKEMORE who lived just across the James River from where EDWARD the 1st resided, and was there as early as 1670.  This JAMES BLAKEMORE left a will probated in 1675 in Middlesex County, Virginia, naming his wife BEVERLY.  This opinion concerning EDWARD the lst’s origin is shared by Maurice Neville Blakemore in The Blake more Family and Allied Lines, (1963), page 6.

At least one son of this JAMES was alive in 1675 and could have been the father of EDWARD the 1st.  Unfortunately, almost no records survive for this period and geographic area, so the absence of further data concerning this son of JAMES, also named JAMES BLAKEMORE, need not suggest that he did not raise a family.  He may have left a will that later was lost or destroyed, or, as was more often the case, he may have die intestate.  Historians have found that in 1685 the sons and grandsons of English settlers, even of the nobility, were poor, living in log cabins of six or less rooms, usually illiterate, and used all their energies just to survive.  Many were killed by Indians leaving virtually no trace of themselves.  Their widows remarried quickly men whose wives died young, usually in childbirth.  This well may have been the fate of young JAMES BLAKEMORE, JR.

Of particular interest is the mention of a RICHARD BLAKEMORE of an even earlier time period, by Maruice Neville Blakemore in his book, page 6.  This RICHARD BLAKEMORE was one of the leading men in the Virginia Company of London between 1606 and 1616.  The Parish Registers of Devon, which are surprisingly complete, have been abstracted and computerized.  From this source it has been possible to check the parishes of Parracombe and Ottery St. Mary, which Maurice Neville Blakemore suggests as probable places of origin of the Virginia Blakemores (pages 78 of his book).  There are no Richards from these parishes, neither of which are particularly close to Bishops Nympton.  However, in the parish of Lynton, which is situated not far from Parracombe there is the baptism 11 Aug 1616 of a JAMES, son of RICHARD BLAKEMORE.  There are no other JAMES BLAKEMORES in Devon in this time period, making him a likely candidate for the American JAMES BLAKEMORE.  Since JAMES BLAKEMORE , SR., of Virginia died in 1675 leaving an adult son, it is consistent that he was born in 1616, and died aged 59.  This would place the birth of JAMES BLAKEMORE, JR. about 1650, making him about 45 at the time EDWARD BLAKEMORE the 1st was born.  With the high mortality rates of those times this too is consistent.  There may have been many other children either raised in England or who died in childhood.  JOHN AUGUSTUS BLAKEMORE, in his book previously mentioned, lists a JAMES BLAKEMORE as the son of EDWARD BLAKEMORE the 1st, born posthumously and not mentioned in his father’s will.  This JAMES BLAKEMORE, in 1781, witnessed the will of a SUSANNA CARTER.  The only other JAMES BLAKEMORE at the time was a son of JOSEPH BLAKEMORE the 1st, another son of EDWARD BLAKEMORE the 1st.  JOSEPH BLAKEMORE the 1st was born about 1732 and his son was probably too young to witness a will in 1781.  However, he did witness the will of his father in 1802 and in 1808 he moved to Lee County, Virginia.  Little more is known about him.  Since it was a common practice to name children for their parents and grandparents, the presence of the name of JAMES BLAKEMORE in two lines of descent strongly suggests that EDWARD BLAKEMORE the 1st was the son of JAMES BLAKEMORE, JR. of Middlesex County, Virginia.
