CHAPTER I
WARNER-READE.
KENT ISLAND.
In the upper part of Chesapeake Bay was a commanding post within the disputed territory of Maryland and Virginia, and was alternately occupied by the forces of the contending colonists.
This place, in 1632, was ocenpied by William Claiborne. Secre- tary of State to Governor Sir John Harvey of Virginia. Claiborne was the champion of the rights claimed by the Virginia Colonists in their contention with Maryland, while the English government and King favored Lord Baltimore's claims, or the Maryland side of the controversy. Sir John Harvey, who was himself a creature of the King, found it contrary to his interests to oppose the King's wishes openly. When, therefore, Claiborne resisted the eneroach- ments of Maryland by force of arms and was, in consequence, in- dieted and found guilty of murder, piracy and sedition, and took refuge with Harvey, that officer, on the one hand, refused to give him np to the Maryland authorities and, on the other hand, con- sented that he should be sent to England for trial.
This conduet of Harvey in giving up the champion of their rights instead of protecting and defending him. so incensed the people that, taken in connection with his base yielding of Mary- land to Lord Baltimore, they became little inclined to submit to imposition from any quarter. However, they moved with calm deliberation. The first entry made in the record reads as follows: "An assembly to be called to receive complaints against Sir John Harvey on the petition of many inhabitants, to meet 2th of May. 1635." But proposed action only served to make the Governor more imperious and tyrannical.

NOME PROMINENT
Capt. Francis Pott came to Virginia before 1628, for in that year he had a patent taken out in the name of Dr. John Pott. Col. Samuel Mathews had rebuilt in 1630 the fort at Old Point which had been destroyed. Francis Pott was made captain and com- mandant. He was summarily removed by Gov. Sir John Harvey and Francis Hooke of the royal navy placed in command. Francis Pott nursed his wrath, and when Harvey sided with Lord Baltimore and granted away Maryland, Francis Pott took a leading part in getting up a meeting at York to protest to the King against the Governor. Harvey had him and two of his fellow mutineers, Nicholas Martain and William English, arrested and imprisoned ; whereupon the councillors, one of whom was Dr. John Pott, with- out waiting for May 7, on the "28th of April, 1635, had Sir John Harvey thrust out of his government and Capt. John West acted as governor until the King's pleasure be known." The Governor was sent to England to have the charges against him investigated in custody of Thomas Harwood, and took with him his prisoner. Francis Pott. Although the King reinstated Harvey as governor in January, 1636, and he remained in office until November, 1639, he had had a salutary lesson, as there were no further complaints about his administration.
When Kent Island, in 1632, was occupied by Claiborne, it was represented in the House of Burgesses by Captain Nicholas Mar- tain, of York. One of William Claiborne's ships was commanded by Captain Thomas Smith. On May 10, 1635, there was a fight between the Virginia and Maryland forces in the harbor of Great Weghcomoco at the mouth of the Pocomoke River ( Potomac), in which Thomas Smith commanded for Claiborne and defeated the Maryland forces of Lord Baltimore with bloodshed.
In December, 1637, Calvert occupied Kent Island with the Mary- land forces, taking prisoners, Capt. Thos. Smith and other promi- ment leaders of the Virginia party, who were tried for treason. piracy and murder, convicted and executed.
Lord Baltimore made Stone governor, and, in 1654, Bennett and Claiborne deposed Stone and placed the government of Mary- land with Captain William Fuller as President and Governor of Maryland. Governor Stone gathered a force of one hundred and thirty men and marched against the settlement at Providence. Governor Fuller was in readiness for him with one hundred and
VIRGINIA FAMILIEN
seventy-five men and two armed vessels, one British and the other from the Massachusetts Bay settlement. The two little armies met in conflict on the banks of the Severn, March 25th, 1655. The use of the ships' guns materially aided Fuller in defeating the at- tacking force of Stone, which was routed with a loss of one-third of their number.
Stone and nine others of the more important leaders of the Maryland party were captured and tried for sedition and murder. convicted and condemned to death, but Fuller proved to be more merciful than Calvert was in Thomas Smith's case, and. influenced by the solicitations of his wife, pardoned Stone and let him go. This wife of Governor William Fuller was Sarah, daughter of Nicholas Martain. of York. a Walloon immigrant.
WALLOON.
Wallon or Walloon is the collective name of the inhabitants of about one-half the area of Belgium. They are distinguished from the rest of the population. the Fleming. by their romance, speech and darker complexion. They have. also, generally larger frame and taller stature than the Fleming. They are a purer race also. and may be properly considered Romanized Gauls allied with the ancient Belga. The word "Wallon," equivalent to "Welsh," means "foreign." The principal center of population is Namur. This people had no distinctive literature, being an agricultural and pastoral community. The earliest existing document in the line of literature is "Declaration der Provost Jurat. Eskievan de Valenchienes, 1256."
The Wallon population in 1830 numbered 1,360,000: in 1886. 2.280,000. The district of country occupied by them comprises the southeastern half of the kingdom, about 6,000 square miles.
MARTIAN.
Nicholas Martian's name was variously recorded Malier, Marlier. Martn. Martian, Martain, etc. In 1621 a large number of the French Walloons applied to the London Company for leave to settle in Virginia. Permission was granted, but they secured more favorable terms from the Dutch. Therefore they sailed for New York in 1622. and constituted the first Dutch colony in America.
1
SOME PROMINENT
Some few came to Virginia according to their first intention, and among them Nicholas Martian who secured his denization in England.
In the list of Walloons presented to the London Company in 1621, there is entered "Nicholas de la Malier, his wife and two children"; in the census for 1624, Nicholas Martine in the Main. In the census of 1625 Capt. Nicholas Martine is named as living in Elizabeth City. (Hotten's list of Emigrants to America, pages 99, 176, and 249.)
When Chiskiack on York River was opened for settlement in 1630, Nicholas Martine obtained the land at Yorktown. He was the first representative in the assembly for Chiskiack and Kent Island. He was one of the first magistrates of York County, and in 1839 obtained a patent for the land at Yorktown due him on account of importing himself, Nicholas Malier, wife Jane, Nicholas. his son, and Elizabeth Malier, his daughter : also Edward Berkeley, his wife Jane Berkeley, and their daughter, Jane, all noted among the resident inhabitants.
In 1635, as has been stated, Martian took a leading part in protesting against the tyranny of Sir John Harvey, the Governor, and the loss of Kent Island to Lord Baltimore, and he was in consequence arrested and confined. But Sir John Harvey was himself deposed and Martian and his fellow prisoners released.
In 1645 Nicholas Martian married Isabella Beach, as shown by the records of York. His will was dated March 1, 1657 or '67. and was proved April 4, 1657. He named his oldest daughter Elizabeth, who had crossed the ocean with him and became the wife of George Reade: Mary, his second daughter, wife of John Scarbrook, of York Co .: Sarah, his third daughter, wife of Capt. William Fuller, the Puritan Governor of Maryland.
Col. John Scarbrook had several children: one named Jane : another daughter. Martha Scarbrook. married Captain William Cary, youngest son of Miles Cary, the immigrant: and Captain William Cary's daughter. Martha Cary, married Edward Jaquelin. of Jamestown.
Elizabeth Martian, eldest daughter of Nicolas de la Malier and Jane. his wife, married Col. George Reade, whose daughter, Eliza- beth Reade, married Speaker Augustine Warner, of Warner Hall, Gloucester County.

VIRGINIA FAMILIES
Nicholas Malier was therefore a common ancestor of George Washington, Robert Edward Lee, and many other eminent Vir- ginians.
Through their mother, Mildred Reade, the three daughters of Col. Augustine Warner, Jr., became lineal descendants of King Edward HI, of England, and Philippa, of Hainaut, his Queen. who was the great-granddaughter of Philip 11, of France.
Mrs. Anna Robinson Watson, in her book, "A Royal Lineage." has traced their line back to Alfred the Great of England, and gives interesting incidents of each generation.
Sir Edmund Dymoke was a descendant of Sir Robert Marmyun. Lord of the Castle Fontenaye, in Normandy, and of Tamworth Castle and Serivelsby Court, in England. This Lord Marmyum was descended from "Rollo the Dane" and was "Hereditary Chani- pion" to his kinsman, William, Duke of Normandy, afterwards William the Conqueror, King of England. He was present at the dual coronation of William and Matilda, at Winchester, in 1068: at which time he gave the following public challenge :
"If any person deny that our Sovereigns, Lord William and Matilda, are King and Queen of England, he is a false-hearted traitor and a liar, and here do I, as champion, challenge him to mortal combat."
It thus appears that the office of Hereditary Champion pre- existed in Normandy and was transferred to England at the time of his coronation by William. Lord Robert Marmyum was one of the warriors who fought by the side of Duke William, at the decisive battle of Hastings, and was of those with William, when. after the battle was won, he gathered his principal retainers about him on a hill which marked the site of the most desperate fight- ing. There, with the dead and dying about him on the slopes, and piled about his standard on the summit. William vowed to build the great "Battle Abbey."
When the time came to reward his followers, Robert de Marmyum was given Tamworth, a parliamentary and municipal borough lying in the countries of Stafford and Warwick, and Serivelsby Court, a baronial fief.
This last-mentioned grant was conferred with an especial condi- tion annexed to the tenure, according to the then existing legal
6
SOME PROMINENT
forms, to the effect that the estate should be held to the particu- lar service of himself, and his heirs, as a fee for performing the service of champion to the Sovereigns of England. Sir Walter Scott's "Marmion" was Philip de Marmyum, who died during the reign of Edward II, without male issue. Scriveisby Court became the property of his daughter. Joan, who left an only child. Margaret, sole heiress of Serivelsby and the Championship. Margaret married Sir John Dymoke, who acquired with her the estate, honours and obligations of the office of champion of England, which has remained in the Dymoke family ever since. and although the office is no longer operative, it remains effective until revoked by an act of Parliament.
Serivelsby Court is still kept in admirable repair, and is quite a "show" place. The Chapel, a small quaint structure. has some parts at least five centuries old. Among its tombs is that of Sir Robert Dymoke, Champion of Richard II, Henry VI, and Henry VII. On the top of his tomb is a plate of brass, on which is a figure in full armour, recumbent, with helmet under his head and a lion at his feet : above the figure is a shield containing the family arms and beneath it is this inscription :
Here lyeth the body of Sir Robert Dymoke, of Scrivelsby. Knight and Baron, who departed this life the 22d day of April, in the year of our Lord God MDIXV. upon whose soul Almighty God have mercy. Amen.
The following are the generations between King Edward III, of England, and Mildred Reade, who married Col. Augustine Warner. Edward III. King of England, married Philippa, of Hinaut. They had six sons :
I. The Black Prince, died 1370, without issue.
II. William, died in infancy.
III. Lionel, Duke of Clarence, died in 1368.
IV. John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster.
V. Edward, Duke of York.
VI. Thomas, Duke of Gloucester.
By the death, in 1370, of the Black Prince, without issue, William and Lionel (the next in line being already dead, the living son and heir of Lionel) became rightfully heir to the throne, but John of Gaunt, the next younger son, defrauded his dead brother's heir, and had his own son crowned as Henry IV. Thus originated
7

the feud of the Red and White Roses, which caused many quarrels. and much loss of life in the royal family of England, for centuries.
Lionel, Duke of Clarence, married Lady Elizabeth de Brugh. and their only daughter, Lady Philippa Plantagenet, married Edward Mortimer, Earl of March ; their daughter, Lady Elizabeth Mortimer, married Sir Henry Perey, surnamed Hotspur, first Earl of Northumberland, b. 1366; killed at the battle of Shrews- bury. His son, Henry Percy, second Earl of Northumberland, married Lady Eleanor Nevil, and was killed at the battle of St. Albans, 1455. His son, Henry Perey, third Earl of Northumber- land, married Lady Eleanor Poynings. Their daughter, Lady Margaret Perey, married Sir William Gascoigne. Their daughter, Lady Elizabeth Gascoigne, married Sir George Telboise, who was descended from Ivo de Tailleboise, a Norman Knight, and follower of William the Conqueror. Their danghter, Lady Anne Telboise, married Sir Edmond Dymoke, "Hereditary Champion of England," and Master of Scrivelsby Court. His daughter, Frances Dymoke, Aug. 20, 1566, married Sir Thomas Windebank, "Clerk of the Signet, to the good Queen Bess." Their daughter, Mildred Windebank, married Robert Reade, Esq., of Yorkshire. Their son, George Reade, Hon., married Elizabeth Martain, daughter of Capt. Nicholas Martain ; and their daughter, Mildred Reade, married Speaker, the Hon. Augustine Warner, of Warner's Hall, Gloucester Co., Va.

In 1642, he volunteered in the King's army and saw some service in the decline of the royal cause. He went to France and became a Catholic priest. In 1659. he published a work in defense of Catholicity. He returned to England at the restoration of King Charles II, and died, 1669.

Paris with Secretary Windebank, to escape prosecution by Parlia- ment. He was living in 1669.
V. George1, who came to Virginia. There was a Benjamin Reade, probably of the same English family, who came to Virginia about the same time, and is supposed to have been a son of Robert Reade and Mildred Windebank, but his name is not included in any definite record of relationship I have seen.
Mildred Windebank was the daughter of Sir Thomas Windebank. of Harnes Hill, parish of Hurst, Berkshire (Clerk of the Signet to Queen Elizabeth and King James I), who married, Aug. 20. 1566, Frances, daughter of Sir Edmond Dymoke, Hereditary Champion of England.
George Reade came to Virginia in 1637. He was a friend and adherent of Governor Harvey, and Secretary Kemp, and when Kemp went to England, in 1640, George Reade was appointed Secretary of State, pro tem., and acted as governor, when Harvey was absent. He was burgess for James City County in 1649, and again in 1656 ; then probably for Gloucester Co. He was a member of the Council, appointed March 13, 1658, and reappointed, May 3, 1658, and held the office until his death, in 1671. On Nov. 20. 1671, the will of Col. George Reade was admitted to probate in the General Court.
