Notes for HOWSON FRANCIS KENNER: From William W. Grier: In June
of 1728 (16 years old), Howson chose John Cralle as his
guardian. John Cralle was the 4th husband of Howson's first
cousin, Hannah Kenner. He was listed as a voter in Prince
William County, Virginia in 1741. It is thought that he settled
in that section in 1735. This is part of the Rappahannock
watershed that became Fauquier County, Virginia in 1759. He
was commissioned Justice of the Peace for Prince William County
on November 4, 1742. He was a vestryman of Dettingen Parish in
Prince William County on November 27, 1749, along with his
cousin Richard Kenner. His home fell into Fauquier County in
1759. 1

From 'The Kenner Family' by Laura Davis Worley. Howson was a
vestryman of Dettinger Parish, Prince William County, November
27, 1749. Howson's will, dated April 9, 1778, made Joseph
Blackwell, his wife Margaret, and daughter Susannah as the
executors. Howson's wife Margaret Eskridge, was a daughter of
Col. Eskridge of Sandy Point, Westmoreland County, Virginia.
Col. Eskridge's will, probated in 1735, mentions Howson Kenner
and wife Margaret. (See the notes of George Eskridge) 1

After Rev.

This time Thomas justified his mother's faith because he not only succeeded in gaining control of all of Judith's property, but also embezzled trust funds belonging to her young son by the Rev.

Name: Harry BEVERLEY
Given Name: Harry
Surname: Beverley
Sex: M
Birth: 1669 in Middlesex County, VA
Death: 30 Nov 1730 in "Newlands", Spotsylvania, VA
Note:
Alias: Capt. Harry /Beverley/
CAPTAIN HARRY BEVERLEY, of "Newlands", married Elizabeth Smith (only
child and heiress of Robert Smith of Brandon) about 1696, and to them
were born ten children. Elizabeth Beverley was baptized 9 Nov. 1697, and
died between 19 Apr and 7 July 1747. (THE BEVERLEY FAMILY of VIRGINIA by
John McGill) Will dated 11-30-1730, proved 2-12-1731. Harry Beverley,
father of SUSANNA, moved to Spotsylvania 1720. He was a son of MAJ.
ROBERT BEVERLEY, a native of Yorkshire, who emigrated to Virginia, 1663,
and settled in Middlesex, where he was Justice and elected Clerk of the
House of Burgesses, 1670, and soon became a leader in the colony. (See
notes on Major Robert Beverley.)
Captain Harry Beverly of "Newlands," Spotsylvania Co, was the third son
of MAJOR ROBERT BEVERLEY, the immigrant, was a Magistrate in Middlesex
Co., 1702; Surveyor of King and Queen and King William Co. 1702-14;
assisted in surveying the Virginia-North Carolina boundary line. About
1720,
he removed to Spotsylvania Co., where for a number of years he was
Presiding Justice of the Spotsylvania County Court. He was also Clerk of
the House of Burgesses, and surveyed and laid off the Town of
Tappahannock in 1706, giving the town the names of its streets: Queen,
Church Lane, Water Lane, Marsh, Duke, Prince and Earl. (The ambitious
design did not spark immediate development, but the plan guided
Tappahannock to orderly growth for the next two centuries. Source:
Slaughter, History of Essex Co.) He patented 2,700 acres known as
"Portobago" in Essex County, which had been owned earlier by his wife's
grandfather Major General Robert Smith of Middlesex. He also owned 1,017
acres which the Upshaw family acquired in 1699. Capt. Beverley owned
land amounting to about 32,000 acres in several counties.
His title of Captain derives from the fact that Governor Spotswood sent
him on the sloop, "The Virgin" as it's Commander to acquire gold from
Spanish ship wrecks.
"In the summer of 1716, Governor Spotswood fitted out a sloop named THE
VIRGIN, which he put under the command of Harry Beverley (hence his title
of Captain), with instructions to go to the Bahamas and the Isle of
Providence in quest of Pirates, Spanish wrecks, etc. The Governor sent a
copy of the instructions to Beverley, which were dated June 5, to the
English authorities. The day after sailing 'she was surprised with a
violent hurricane and drove as far eastward as Bermuda On the 5th day,
the sloop was taken by a Spanish man-of-war (though the countries were at
peace), rifled and the men striped, abused and made prisoners. Captain
Beverley wrote from St. Domingo that he had petitioned for a trial, but
had been refused, and that all he had to expect was that he and his men
would be sent to the mines. He and his crew were taken to Vera Cruz,
where a trial was still refused, and no subsistence was allowed him or
his men, but what the Assiento factory (the English agency under the
Assiento treaty) bestowed out of charity. Several men perished for want
of necessities, and many of them reduced to beg about the street till
they could find an opportunity of getting off. After seven months
imprisonment, Beverley escaped and reached Virginia shortly before
August. 1717 (Spotswood Letters II, 245, 250, 259, and Sainsbury
Abstracts). Though ostensibly the chief object of this voyage was to
obtain information in regard to the pirates or to attack them, yet it
seems probable that 'Spanish wrecks' are mentioned in the instructions to
Beverley. Mrs. Elizabeth Churchill, in her will dated November 9, 1716,
provides that if Mr. Harry Beverley brings back any money or other
returns from the wrecks, her share should go to certain of her
grandchildren (Middlesex Records). (THE BEVERLEY FAMILY OF VIRGINA by
John McGill)Capt. Harry Beverley died at his plantation "Newlands" in Spotsylvania Co. in 1730. He and his wife Elizabeth (Smith) Beverley were the ancestors of several generations of Beverleys who lived at "Newlands." They were also the ancestors of many families in this section of Virginia--Roys of Caroline, King and Queen and Essex Co.: Birds of Kind and Queen Co.; Hoskins of King and Queen Co. and Essex Co.; Taloes of Mt. Airy, Richmond Co.: Chinns and Downmans of the Northern Neck; Suttons of King and Queen Co.; Montagues of Middlesex, Saunders of Middlesex and Essex Co.; and WINSLOWS (through daughter Susanna who married BENJAMIN WINSLOW) of Virginia, Missouri, Texas, and other descendants throughout the nation.
Witness to Will: John Gordon, John Henderson, William Chapman, Thomas Sellars. Executor was son Robert Beverley. "Leg. daughter Elizabeth Stanard, the lower part of my tract of land on the River Tappahannock, in Spotsylvania Co., that lies below the branch that is next to Col. John Robinson's bridge; daughter Mary, the residue of above tract; daughter Margaret; daughter Susanna; daughter Catherine; daughter Judith, 1000 acres adjoining the land I sold to Andrew Harrison; daughter Agatha; son Robert, balance of lands not disposed of." (Will Book A 1722-1749, p. 119. Source: Crozier, "Virginia County Records, Spotsylvania County, 1721-1800, p. 2)
Note of interest regarding The Octonia Grant by Ulysses P. Joyner, Jr., in his book "Joyner: The First Settlers of Orange County, Virginia": To the west of the Baylor tract lies the "Octonia Grant" containing 24,000 acres and extending along the south bank of the Rapidan from Laurel Run, just north of the Town of Orange, to Stanardsville in present day Greene County. This truly unique and beautiful tract of land was originally patented to the "Octonia Company" composed of eight Spotswood associates: Harry Beverley, John Robinson, Christopher Robinson, Bartholomew Yates, Lewis Ltane, William Stannard, Jeremiah Clowder, and Edwin Thacker. Many, if not all, of these gentlemen accompanied Spotswood in 1716 on his trek over the Blue Ridge which passed through the "Octonia Grant." The original grant was recorded in 1722. As happened so often, however, the original grant lapsed and the entire tract was repatented to Robert Beverley, the son of Captain Harry Beverley, in 1729. A full discussion of the "Octonia Grant" is not possible here, but the reader is referred to an excellent work by J. Randolph Grymes entitled: The Octonia Grant, published in 1977."
(NOTE: In about 1992, I was in Virginia and had a wonderful discussion about the Beverleys and Winslows with Mr. Grymes. He came down to the Orange County Historical Society to meet with me.)
