A PARTIAL LIST OF THE DESCENDANTS
OF
REV. JAMES MARYE."
Rev. James Marye, a native of Rouen, Normandy, France, the second son of a wealthy and worthy parentage, was edu- cated for and entered the priesthood of the Roman Catholic Church, but scruples as to the correctness of the tenets and prac- tices of that faith, led him, in 1726, to flee to England, abjure it and to be ordained in the Protestant Episcopal Church. This act occasioned a breach between himself and his immediate rela- tives in France, who consisted of a widowed mother, an elder brother, Peter, and a younger, William, an officer in the French army. and as he could not conscientiously accede to their com- mands to return and re-enter the priesthood, communication with them ceased. In October, 1728, Mr. Marye married in London Miss Letitia Maria Ann Staige, the daughter of a deceased clergyman of the Established Church, and the sister of Rev. Theodosius Staige.b In September, 1729, Mr. Marye with his wife embarked for Virginia. His first child was born on the
a Prepared chiefly from data kindly supplied by Hon. J. L. Marye, Fredericksburg, Virginia.
b Rev. Theodosius Staige came, with an unmarried sister, to Virginia, and was the rector of St. George's parish, Spotsylvania county, some time prior to November, 1728. A daughter married Samuel Thompson, Orange county, and they had issue, among others possibly, a son, Wil- liam Staige. The name Staige is a favored Christian name in the Davis and other families of Virginia. A distinguished instance was the late Professor John Staige Davis, M. D., of the University of Virginia.

He appears to have been called to the charge of the parish of St. James' Northam, Goochland county, soon after his arrival in Virginia, as " Mr. Marie, of St. James' " officiated at a christening at Manakin-town May 20th, 1730.º He continued in this first useful and extended ministry, supplying several churches, until called to a second,ª that of St. George's parish, Spotsylvania, into which, upon the petition of its vestry to Governor Gooch, he was inducted in October, 1735. Here he acceptably and faithfully labored until his death in 1767, when he was succeeded by his son, Rev. James Marye, Jr. Two chapels were built by the efforts of Rev. James Marye, Sr. The farm, " Fayetteville," eight miles distant from Fredericksburg, which he purchased, and upon which he resided until his death,e and upon which he was buried, remains in the possession of his descendants.

f William Green was the son of Robert Green, b. 1695 (son of Wil- liam Green, a member of the Body Guard of King William III, of Eng- land), who migrated to Virginia about 1717, with his uncle, William Duff, a Quaker, and settled in what is now King George county. They became partners of Joist Hite and Robert Mckay, who had warrants (1731) for locating 140,000 acres of land. Hence the firm of Hite, Mc- Kay, Green and Duff. In 1736, Lord Fairfax entered a caveat against Hite, alleging that these lands were within the Northern Neck, and hence his property. This led to the suit of Hite & Co. against Fairfax, which was not decided until 1786, when all the parties to it were dead. The representatives of Hite & Co. recovered a large sum of money and extensive tracts of land. Robert Green, who was the heir of his uncle, William Duff, m. Eleanor Dunn, of Scotland, and settled in Cul- peper county. They had issue :

Upon the first range of hills, distant about three- fourths of a mile west of Fredericksburg, Mr. Marye built, in 1838, the large brick mansion, in which he resided until his death. An extensive lawn slopes from it to the public road which is bounded by the noted " stone fence," which afforded a breastwork for the Confederate infantry, who, supported by artillery posted on "Marye's Heights," signally repulsed the repeated desperate assaults of Burnside's army, December 12th, 1862. The mansion still bears the marks of the serious damage then inflicted by shot, shell, and minie-ball.s
