It surely represents an abstract rather than a verbatim rendering of the original deed. In particular, according to Alice Crandall Park in "Park/e/s and Bunch on the Trail West" (page 210) the actual deed mentions two additional brothers (David and James), while omitting brother Samuel (mentioned in the will of John Bunch, grantee on this deed). Note that the land math works out to 6 brothers: The original 400 acres divided into son John's 100 acre parcel with the other 300 acres divided into five equal 60 acre parcels. "Park/e/s and Bunch on the Trail West" gives the following alternative wording: "...part of a survey of 400 acres patented by John Bunch, dec'd, and by the will of said John left 100 acres to this purchaser, his son, John Bunch; the remainder to be equally divided betwixt William Bunch, Henry Bunch, David Bunch and James Bunch, also his sons."

John McWilliams, born in Albemarle County, Virginia, March 3, 1751, served as a private in the Revolutionary War under Captains Philip Taliaferro and Thomas Minor, Colonels Gregory Smith and Wm. Brent of the Second Virginia State Regiment. He enlisted December 5, 1776, to serve three years. On December 10, 1779, he married Elizabeth Cleveland, daughter of Alexander Cleveland, and first cousin to Colonel Ben Cleveland, hero of King's Mountain. Soon after his marriage, he removed to Madison County, Kentucky.
at least 5 children, Thomas was second
From findagrave:
His grandfather was John Jameson (1680-1736) and his grandmother, Rachel Opdyke (abt. 1680-1728). Thomas (1732-1830) was born to: Samuel Jameson (b.1705 in York, PA-1788) and Jane (last name unknown, but thought to be Craig). Thomas was their 2nd son and was born in VA. He married 1st to Jane Dickey (1738-1763) and 2nd to Hannah Taggart (1732-1830.
The John Jameson (1711-1788)previously thought to be his father was actually his uncle, (brother of his father Samuel),& Margaret White Jameson, his aunt.
The family info given was probably from a newspaper article from the Bedford (VA) Bulletin, Vol. 7, No. 44, Page 7, Dec. 29, 1966, which contained several historical errors.
Samuel Jameson's will names Thomas, along with 3 other brothers.http://www.stupakgen.net/Genealogy/Spencer/00328_jami.htm
Samuel Jameson was born about 1705 in York Co, Pennsylvania, and died 1788 in Woods Gap (Albemarle) Virginia. He is a son of John Jameson [656] and Rachael Opdyke [657]. Samuel married Jane (Craig?). She was born sometimes around 1705, and died 24 Dec 1803 in Albemarle Co, Virginia
Jane’s surname is unknown. Another website source guesses that her name may be Jane Craig, based on names of her nieces and nephews. I have seen nothing solid to support or refute this. Samuel left home in Pennsylvania and moved to Virginia, probably before 1730. His sister and most brothers also moved to Virginia, but the parents remained in Pennsylvania.
Samuel and Jane originally lived in Goochland County in central Virginia, but settled farther west in Albemarle County around 1740. He filed a patent for land on Moorman’s River in Albemarle County in 1741. He patented another 300 acres on Spring Creek in 1747. They were Presbyterians, and are listed as members of the Ivy Creek Presbyterian Church in 1747, pledging 1 pound per year. They were farmers, living on the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains. They owned several slaves.
Samuel and Jane had five children:
Alexander Jameson (1731 VA - ) had descendants
Thomas Jameson [164] (1732 VA - 1830 IN) and Jane Dickey.
Mary Jameson was born 26 Dec 1742 in Woods Gap (Albemarle) Virginia.
John Jarman Jameson was born 21 Feb 1746/47 in Woods Gap (Albemarle) Virginia.
Samuel Jameson (1753 VA - 1805 VA) had descendants.Samuel's affairs.

Samuel Jameson
* Born: Abt 1710,
* Marriage: Jane (Jean) _____ about 1730 in Albemarle Co., Virginia
* Died: Sep 1788, Fredericksville Parish, Albemarle Co., Virginia about age 78
General Notes by Scott Jameson:Mr. Jamison settled in Albemarle county in 1747. On June 25th, he and wife, Jane, agreed to an indenture with James McHaney on 300 acres on a branch of Spring Creek, patented to Samuel Jameson; witnesses- John McColloch, and John and Alexander Jameson.
It's possible that Samuel and his father, John Jamison, followed the Scotch leaders Michael Woods and William Wallace across the Blue Ridge in 1734 and settled into what was then Goochland county, VA. The Mountain Plains Presbyterian Church was built at Mechum's River and in 1746 the same group built the Rockfish Church in 1747. Those who subscribed a pound annually to the church's coffers were Michael Woods, William Woods, Archibald Woods, William Wallace, Davis Stockton, Samuel Jamison, Joseph Kincaid, and John McCord.
On August 10, 1752, Mr. Jamison and wife, Jean, of the first part, made an indenture with James Wharey, of the second part for the "consideration of forty pounds Current money of Virginia" for a 300 acre tract in Albemarle county on the branches of Spring Creek. This land was bounded by Charles Miller and Samuel Jammerson and granted to Jamison by a patent dated June 25, 1747. Witnesses: John McColloch, John Jamison, Alexander Jameson.
In 1755 he purchased 62 acres on the north side of Moorman's River. Five years later he purchased 90 more acres at the same spot. In 1765 he purchased a deed from Archibald Woods at a site called Woods Gap and bordering alonside William Macord's. He also was indentured October 8, 1764 to Archibald and Isabela Woods for a tract at Old Gap on top of Blue Ridge. The land lay on the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains and that Wood's Gap was later called Jamison's Gap and finally Turk's Gap. Jamison's Gap laid upon a spur called Jamison's Mountain which later became Pigeon Top. Witnessed by John Dickey, Andrew Leachey, Alexander Jemason, and Andrew Wallace.
Mr. Jameson received from his father for forty pounds a tract on the north side of Moorman's River March 13, 1765, a part of a patent sold to John Jamison June 1, 1741. Recorded March of 1765, it was witnessed by Alexander Jameson, Nathan Woods, James McHaney, and Thomas Jameson.
In 1776, a Petition was signed by the Albemarle and Amherst dissenters: Thomas Wherry, John Jameson, Samuel Jameson, Thomas Craig, and Thomas Jameson. On August 11, 1785, an indenture between Samuel Jameson and Thomas German was made and witnessed by Maxey Ewell, Samuel Jamison Jr., and William Jameson.
Mr. Jamison's will was dated June 2, 1787 and probated September of 1788[5]. He names sons, Alexander, Thomas, Samuel, and John; sons Alexander and Thomas and Robert McCulloch, executors. Jane's will was dated December 4, 1796 and probated in court in June of 1804[9].

(15). Albemarle county, Virginia was settled by the followers of Michael Woods and William Wallace. They traveled across the Blue Ridge in 1734 and built a Presbyterian Church at Mountain Plains, near Mechum's River. In 1746 these same people erected the Rockfish Church and a school, and in 1747 a call was sent to Rev. Samuel Black, V. D. M. of Pennsylvania by the curch of Mountain Plains and the inhabitants of Ivy Creek. Those contributing a pound or more each were Michael Woods, William Woods, Archibald Woods, William Wallace, Davis Stockton, Samuel Jameson, Joseph Kincaid, and John McCord. Mountain Plains was later taken over by the Baptists. Only five Baptist churches were in Albemarle county, these were: Albemarle, aka Buck Mountain or Chestnut Grove, 1767; Totier, 1775; Prethis, or Priddy's Creek, 1784; Hephzibah, 1802; and Whitesides, or Mount Ed, 1788.

4 Rev. Edgar Woods, History of Albemarle County, Virginia. p. 234, Jameson
The Jamesons were settled at an early day on Moorman’s River, both above and below Whitehall. John Jameson took out a patent for land on the north side of that stream in 1741, and Samuel, his brother or son, on the branches of Spring Creek in 1747. In 1765 Samuel purchased the land in the old Woods Gap from Archibald Woods, who had entered it in 1756. His son Alexander sold it in 1809 to David Stephenson of Augusta. Samuel died in 1788. He and his wife Jean had nine children, four of whom were Alexander, Thomas John and Samuel.
Samuel Jr., died about 1805. His wife’s name was Margaret, and his children were Hannah, the wife of William Harris, Jane, the wife of William Maupin, Elizabeth, the wife of a Harris, Catharine, the wife of Nathan Mills, Mary, the wife of Nehemiah Birckhead, William and Samuel. Some of the sons of this family were mighty hunters, as is manifest from their frequent reports of wolf scalps to the County Court.
Researcher's note: The following Thomas Jameson appears to be the son of Alexander Jameson (1731-1798) & unknown wife. Thomas was born in 1765 in Albermarle. He married Evelina Alcock, and died in Washington, VA in 1823.
It is supposed that Thomas Jameson, who was a physician in busy practice in Charlottesville the early part of the century, was a scion of this stock. In 1806 he lived on the lot on which the family of J. J. Conner resides at present, and which he purchased from William G. Garner. In one of his conveyances it is described as being “on the upper street leading out to Jameson’s Gap,” that being evidently the name of what is now called Turk’s Gap. He married Evalina, daughter of William Alcock, and sister of the second wife of John Kelly. In 1815 he sold his residence to Mr. Kelly, and it is believed emigrated to the West.Pg. 129, Presbyterian
Presbyterians were settled in the county while it was yet a part of Goochland. The colony of Scotch Irish who came over the Blue Ridge in 1734 under the auspices of Michael Woods, brought with them the faith of their fathers. Among these were the families of Wallace, Kinkead, Stockton, McCord and Jameson. Further to the south along the base of the Ridge were the Morrisons, McCues, Montgomerys, Reids and Robertsons. These last were the founders of Rockfish Church, located in the forks of Rockfish River. About 1746 James McCann, who had patented the land in 1745 , conveyed to John Reid, James Robertson and Samuel Bell one acre and thrity-five poles, for the Rockfish Church, and for a school for the inhabitants of that vicinity.
Among the families first mentioned two churches were established.

Gardner, November.25,1848; “A Family Album” by Rebekah Baines Johnson; and “Pioneer Families of Franklin County, Virginia” by Marshall Wingfield were also used as references. (In July of 1988 some additional information was included by Charles Dickson).
Charles Perrin was my great-grandfather. Charles’father was believed to be John Perrin, a Virginian of (Norman) Emglish stock. Charles Perrin had several brothers and sisters. They were Robert, Dr. Lewis, Mahala Gates, Samuel, John, and a sister said to be the mother of Admiral George Dewey. Robert Perrin raised his family near Lexington, Ky. Dr. Lewis Perrin died in Decator, TX. Mahala Gates died near McKinney,TX. Another brother of Charles Perrin was Samuel Perrin - he raised his family in Hempstead County, AR. His sons were Archie, William, Willie and Zens. John Perrin, another brother, went south from Virginia and was never heard from again.
My great-grandmother, Katherine (Katie) Jameson, and Charles Perrin were married in Virginia, (“A Family Album” indicates they were married in 1792 at Russelville, KY.) and came to Garrard County, KY. about 1810. Katie may have spelled her first name with a “C” or “K” and her last name Jamison or Jameson. She was the daughter of Thomas Jameson. Thomas Jameson was a major in the Revolutionary War. He and his men were driven into the James River in Virginia by the British. They escaped, but he contracted phtitisis (?) or asthma, and in his old age he could not lie down. The last seven years of his life he spent in a chair, an invalid, with his head up so he could get his breath. In “A Family Album” (p. 143) it indicates Thomas Jameson was a corporal in charge of four scouts. He was well acquanited with General Washington and was within twenty steps of him when Cornwallis surrendered. Thomas Jameson had several sons and daughters. A grandson, James M. Jameson of Indianapolis, IN., worked up family tree that traced the Jamesons back to 1640 in Scotland. Another source, “Pioneer Families of Franklin, County, Virginia” indicates Thomas Jameson’s father was John Jameson. John was born in Ireland in 1680. John’s father was James Jameson, and he was born in Glasgow, Scotland about 1650. James’ father was Alexander Jameson. Alexander lived six miles from Glasgow. He and his son, James, lived in the same place until 1675. During the persecution James went to Londonderry, Ireland, where he married a Scotch girl. She died leaving twin sons who were ten years old. These sons were Robert and John Jameson. John came to America with his father (James) and his brother (Robert), and they settled on the Susquehanna River in southern Pennyslavania. He (John) spent the greater part of his life as an indian fighter and planter in York County, Penn. and in Orange and Augusta Counties in Virginia. John was a captain of the Augusta County militia. Thomas Jameson (Katie’s father) was born on November 7, 1732 and served in the campaign which ended in Braddock’s defeat. Thomas and his brother, Alexander, served in the Albemarle Company of Militia for the protection of the frontier against the indians.
In 1756, Thomas Jameson married Jane Dickey of Loudoun County, VA. They had four children - Samuel, John, Martha, and William. They moved to Georgia, but on the death of his wife (Jane) in 1763, he returned with his four children to the home of his brother, Alexander, in Albemarle County, VA. (near Charlottesville). He (Thomas) later moved to what is known as Franklin County, VA. near Shady Grove and Snow Creek, where he owned a plantation of about two hundred acres. Here he married Hannah Taggart and they had ten children - Mary, Jane, Nancy, Katherine (my great grandmother), Helen, Margaret, Alexander, Thomas, Hannah, and Rhoda. Thomas was a good horseman and covered hundreds of miles in Virginia. He also was fleet of foot. Thomas became a prominent figure in the border wars, and was commissioned captain in 1761. He served in the Revolutionary War in the Virginia Infantry. He and his son, John, in 1776 were among the most respectable families who subscribed to the oath of allegiance to the Commonwealth of Virginia, renouncing allegiance to King George III, early in the history of the determined resistance of the American Colonists to British oppression. He and his sons, Samuel and John, participated in the Battle of Guilford Court House (March 15, 1781). Thomas was enrolled in April 24, 1776 in White’s Company, Sixth Regiment, and on September 8, 1778 we find his name on the roll of Capt. John Summer’s Company, First Battalion, commanded by Col. Thomas Clark. Thomas and his brothers were signers of the Albemarle Declaration of Independence. Thomas was a personal friend of Thomas Jefferson and also of Patrick Calhoun, the grandfather of John Calhoun, who settled in Augusta County, VA. in 1770 and later moved to South Carolina. Thomas died in April 6, 1823 and Hannah Jamison died in 1830. They are buried at Hebron Baptist Churchyard, Jefferson County, IN. The eldest son of Thomas and Jane (Dickey) was Samuel. He served under Washington in the Revolution. John, Thomas’ younger son, was a soldier of distinction in the Continental Army and received a Captain’s commission.
Charles and Katie (Jameson) Perrin had eight children Their children were Abner, Elizabeth (Betsy), William (great, great grandfather of Lyndon Baines Johnson, John, Thomas J., George, Isaac Newton, and my grandfather, James Madison. Charles Perrin died in 1850. I was able to visit my great grandfather’s and great grandmother’s graves in June 1975. Their graves are located between Russelville and Auburn, KY. A Mr. Paul Blick, Rt. 1, Auburn, KY. 42206 is the overseer which has the farm on which the family cemetery is located. The cemetery is located about 5 miles east of Russelville. Mr Paul Blick died in the fall of 1975.
1. Abner Perrin, who died a bachelor, was born in Logan County, KY. on April 6, 1797, and died there as a young man.
2. Elizabeth (Betsy) married James Sayle and they had four children - America, Eliza, James, and Thomas, twins. She is buried in the same family cemetery.
3. William Perrin was born in Logan County on October 15, 1800 (?), and he married Dicey Kirby in 1820. Dicey was born in 1798. William died in 1856 and is buried in Bamlet (?) Creek cemetery, Collin County, TX. William was a Peter’s colonist and his daughter, Mary Elizabeth Perrin, was Lyndon Baines Johnson great-grandmother (p. 143 of “A Family Album.”)

Posted 17 Apr 2014 by jaynamanlove1Mr. Jameson was a Virginia planter. In his early manhood he went out with tlie militiamen, under Washington, through the Campaign that ended July 9, 1755. in Braddock's defeat. Soon after his marriage he settled in Georgia. While resident there, four children were born, and his wife, Mrs. Jane Jameson, died. Mr. Jame- son then removed to a place near Charlottesville, Albemarle Co., Va.. where his brother, Alexander Jameson [146], was residing. He lived at one time near a stream called " Pig River," in Franklin Co., Va. Mr. Jameson's son, Samuel Jameson [153], was in the Army of the Revolution, and was with Washington when he took command of the army, July 3. 1775, in Cambridge, Mass. It is not known what became of him. A Samuel Jameson is mentioned in 1786 as an inhabitant of Lisbon, N. H., who had served in the War of the Revolution, and he may have been the one who accompanied Washington in 1775 to Cambridge.

On June 25, 1747, John Dickey, for 20 shillings, received Letters Patent from George II “by the Grace of God of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King Defender of the Faith, etc.” to 200 acres in Albemarle County on the Mechanic River opposite Rockfish (now Rockbrige) Gap in the South Mountains; said Land “to be held by us, our heirs and successors, as of our Manor of East Greenwich in the County of Kent, in free and common (usage?) and not (?) on by Knights Service, yielding and paying unto us, our heirs and successors for every 50 acres of land, and so proportionately for a lesser or greater quantity than 50 acres, the fee rent of one Shilling yearly to be paid upon the Feast of Staint Michael the Arch Angel.” Signed by William Gooch [Governor of Virginia from 1727 through 1749].
On November 30, 1771, John Dickey sold this land to Bartlett Bennett and moved his family to South Carolina to the New Acquisition District (York County), settling on Bullock’s Creek. Presumably they were members of the Bullock’s Creek Presbyterian Church.

John Dickey married Martha McNeely, the daughter of George McNeely, of whom all that is known is that he was called "Honest George, the North Countryman."
Soon after they were married, they removed from the north of Ireland to the colony of Virginia, and settled in Albemarle County, on Meacham River, opposite to the Rockfish Gap, in the South Mountain. There they reared a family consisting of four sons and four daughters, whose names were Jane, John George, Robert, Mally [Molly}, Eleanor, David, and Martha.
Not long before the Revolutionary War, the family removed to South Carolina, and settled in York County, leaving Eleanor, who married John Tisdale, in Virginia.

from findagrave:
John I's exact death date and burial location in York County is unknown. We know from his Will (Jan 14, 1784) and when probate was recorded (Feb 13, 1789 that he died within this time frame.John I immigrated to America in 1729. He married Martha McNeely in 1736 in Albemarle, VA.
His last known land purchase in Albemarle was on June 25, 1747. By 1770 he and his family had relocated to Bullock Creek, York County, SC. We know this from property that he purchased.
John I is recognized by both Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) as serving in the war. He served in the SC militia under Captain Kirkpatrick & Colonel Neil.

1) Jane 'Jean', m. Thomas Jameson
2) John L. II, m. Sarah Robinson
3) George, m. Mary Scott
4) Ebenezer, b. Nov 15, 1744, d. 1746
5) Robert, m. 1. Margaret Hillhouse, 2. Mary Henry
6) David, m. Margaret Stephenson
7) Mary Eleanor, m. John Tisdale
8) Susannah, m. unknown, d. unknown
9) Mary 'Polly', m. 1. James Mercer, 2. James Hillhouse
11) Martha, m. 1. Hugh Wilson, 2. Samuel HenryThere has been considerable speculation about a potential 12th child named William who was born Jan 12, 1756 and died in 1832. He married a Mary Sarah Henry. The source of this information was in a family genealogy by J. Dickey Templeton that was published in 1918.
The William above has been often confused with the William Dickey born to John L. Dickey II and Sarah Robinson. This William was born in 1764 and also died in 1832. There is no evidence that John I had a son named William and it is believed this is a genealogical mistake made by Mr. Templeton. Based on John's Will where the other children are all mentioned, a William is not mentioned. I suspect Mr. Templeton's mistake originated from the William that was witness to John I's Will. It was not customary and legally frowned upon to try to have an heir witness a Will so this William that witnessed the Will is not likely to be his child.
The William Dickey born in 1756 has left little to no historical footprint and trying to research this person has yielded virtually no information as to his real genealogical connections within the Dickey family.

Jacob Boehm, born circa 1693 in Zweibrücken, Palatinate, was an early Mennonite immigrant to Pennsylvania. He is traditionally stated to have arrived in Conestoga Township (present-day Pequea Twp., Lancaster Co., PA) in 1712 or 1715. It is more likely that he arrived with the second group of Mennonites in 1717. Jacob and his wife, Barbara Kendig, had twelve known children. The descendants of this immigrant family number in the tens of thousands today and are located throughout North America.Very little is known about Jacob's personal life, except for the following glimpse, written by his grandson, Henry Boehm:
"Reminiscences, Historical and Biographical, of Rev. Henry Boehm", Rev. J. B. Wakeley, D.D., 1875, pp. 10-11.
He had several children, of whom Jacob, the third, was my grandfather. He was born in 1693, and emigrated to this country in 1715. Many of the Mennonites emigrated from Switzerland and Germany.My grandfather was induced to come to America from the glowing description given of this country by Martin Kendig, one of the seven families who had settled in what is now Lancaster County, PA. He landed in Philadelphia, from thence went to Germantown, then to Lancaster, and finally settled in Pequea, Conestoga Township. Soon after he married a Miss Kendig. My grandfather was a lay elder in the Mennonite Society.
Soon after his arrival he bought a farm and built him a house. He was also a blacksmith, the first in all that region.

From the Virginia Register in the Bristol Parish Page 38 Robert Glidewell unable to work-cancer-court cared for him.
Bristol Parish Vestry Book, p. 38, entry dated 14 Apr 1728: "Robert Glidewell being afflicted with cancer in his face which hath made him unable to labour for his livelihood, it is ordered that the Church Warthen find him necessary clothin (sic) and likewise that John Browden find him necessary board, and he to be allowed 100 lbs of tob(acco?) - month."Entry p 45, dated 3 Aug 1729: "Upon the petition of Elizabeth Glidewell that she is a poor widow and not able to take care of her children, desires that her son Robert Glidewell (III) be bound to Tho Clemmon as the law direscts 'tis granted."

"The first documented and proven ancestor to my line is Robert Glidewell (b.ca 1695 place unknown), who is first found listed in the Bristol Parish (VA) Vestry Book in the 1720-1730's, when his children's baptisms are being recorded. He was a tobacco planter. Right now, I presume his father to be a Robert, because there is a Robert "Glidswell" listed in Surry County Virginia tax lists of 1702 as an adult. Also concerning a Robert Glideswell is his name again mentioned in the book "Boddies Colonial Surry", shown living with William Coggins (not related) on his tobacco plantation, including 91 other taxable people (this includes whites and slaves). Perhaps this is where Robert learned his tobacco planting skills.
Although LDS files tie this VA Glidewell line to Aymes Gladwell, or others, it is not yet proven whether my Virginia Glidewells originated in England or Scotland, nor is Robert's parentage proven. One obituary from the 1800's claims northern England as our country of origin, while two other obits from the same era claim Scottish descent. The William Coggins who is mentioned above, was from Scotland. English church records prior to 1600 show several GLIDEWELL or GLIDWELLs in England, primarily in the Bedford and Kent areas, however, there has been no clear connection made to any of them yet. (See the pre-1600 list)
Robert (b.ca 1695) Glidewell died in 1728, as recorded in the Vestry Book, of face cancer. His wife Elizabeth is found again at the time of her death, Sept.1765, in Chesterfield Co. VA (order book 3, part 2) as "...being so poor that no person will take administration of her estate orders that the Sherif do take and administer the same and under his account."Now we have two Roberts, either of whom might have been our ancestor. (comments from: Jack Glidewell)
Some secondary sources report that Robert (b 1698) was the son of William Glidewell (b 1665 London) and Alice Briant (b unk m 1697 London). Diane Fitzgibbons has studied the LDS records, and has the primary sources.
On the other hand, in the Compendium of American Genealogy, Vol III, 1942, p 564. "GLIDEWELL, James Arthur, b Cooper, Tex, Nov. 6, 1889, and others, reported:
"11. Aymes Glidewell (b1619) from Eng. in the "Increase," 1835, settled at Boston, Mass.;
10. Robert (b 1640) of Bristol Parish, VA;
9. Daniel (1675-1727) of Bristol Parish.;
8. Robert (ca. 1700-1728) of Bristol Parish, m 1719 Elizabeth -- ;" The Compendium, as far as I can find, was complied by traveling genealogists who interviewed well-known people in community about their ancestors. None that I have found cite any sources other than the person who recounted his family history.
The second group of genealogists often (not always) place Robert in the line of descent as the son of Daniel who was the son of Aymes.
The first group places Robert as the son of William, b 1736, in Bexley, Kent, England, who migrated to the Virginia colony late in the 1600s. William?s father was Reinhold, b. between 1613 and 1618 in England.
I have been unable to find a report of the birth of Robert II, born 1700 (+ or - 5), to any parents in the Parish Vestry Book Birth Register. To my knowledge, limited as it is, this issue has not been settled as of now (28 June 2003).
Tentatively I accept the idea that one of the two Roberts (b 1700 + or - a year or two) was the father of Nash (b 1721) and Robert (b 1722). I keep hoping that new information about this family in VA will turn up.Some additional complications are added by a message I received from George Jansen, Jr., & Virginia Carpenter Jansen, 126 Orchard Court, Richland, WA 99352.

"I do not think that here is direct evidence for any of the question answers beyond what you have already indicated. Most of the evidence is indirect and non-confirmatory and is open to more than one interpretation. For example:
"The role of Daniel G. in VA may be interpreted as (1) and ancestor of Robert (2) the son an earlier Robert who married Thomas Gent's widow before 1700, or (3) ???"
"We don't know if Wm & Alice migrated to VA or not, but if they did, they probably went back to England.
"I think that Reuben Gladhill of Isle of Wight Co., VA has a brother, William, living in VA, but since these are Quakers, probably from Yourshire, they may not be related to Robert at all.
"The birth of Robert in London in 1701 seems consistent with the Robert who arrived in VA 171?, who was undoubtedly Elizabeth's husband. It appears to be the custom to send sons back to England for education? And then they show up as immigrants when they are transported again.

"Robert Glidewell (b 1722) lived in Granville Co., NC in the 1746 Petition and 1750 censuses and in 1755 got land there as a result of his service in [NC] militia. His land was very close to the VA line and although he sold it, he did not have to move far to be on Little Blue Wing Creek in Halifax Co., VA. Nash Glidewell became well established in Halifax Co., VA, but their geographic separation in the tax lists is great enough to tell their descendants apart in the lists until they were alphabetized.
"Robert [b 1722] was probably married by 1746 since a person usually did not farm land until marriage. We find only one Byrd, John Byrd in Granville Co., NC and he could be Robert's brother-in-law, although they did not live close to each other. Putting this together with William Byrd getting land in Bertie Co., NC within the Granville District, we have formed the hypothesis that Robert married in NC a daughter of Will & Jean (Bell?) Byrd, [Jean was] a sister of Sutton Byrd of NC & SC. According to the book by Earl Byrd of Mississippi, this Byrd family can be traced back through Chowan Co., NC through Surry Co, VA, and back to England."
"We have included this branch on our Web Page, a printout of which is attached. Currently, we are looking at counties that Wm Byrd lived in in NC & SC, trying to find evidence for a Glidewell. This has already explained the source of the Early Byrd land holdings in Laurens Co., SC where Robert Glidewell (b 1722] moved about 1780.
