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. 77. Margary18. EIGHTH GENERATION 128. son PHILPOT6,16,22 was born about 1520 in England.22 He died in Hampshire, 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 4097. Joanne DE SAUNEFORD16,6 died in Nov 1374 in London, England. 4098. William DE STODEYE II27.
