Notes for William Batchelot Denmark:

William Batchelot Denmark, son of William was born about 1735 in present Belhaven in Beauford Co. then Hyde Precinct of Old Bath Co. North Carolina.

He was living in Pitt Co. NC., when his father William died in 1766. While living in Pitt Co. William practicing a twentieth century lifestyle. He had a wife and a common law spouse, both of whom were bearing him children. They were sisters, Mary and Anna Moye

When the 1766 deed was executed, tranferring land that he had inherited from his father, it was in his name and that of his wife, Mary. Yet by this time he had fathered two children by Anna, his wife's sister and his common law spouse.

William moved to Craven Co. about 1774 and settled near old Fort Barnwell. When he sold land that year Anna was still with him and witnessed the land transaction. She signed her name as Anna Moye

About ten years later 1784 something happened to the three individuals and William and Anna left Mary and parted ways. William sold out in December 1784 and went to Georgia with Anna and her children. Mary is found in Duplin Co. two years later enumberated with four of her children. Mary died before 1790

William settled on the East side of the Ogeechee River in Effingham Co. and was later granted 500 acres of land. A family problem arose on the East side and caused the Denmarks to settled on the West side of the Ogeechee in Bulloch Co. The Georgia Gazette states that a man named Denmark may have shot and killed a young man named Levi Dykes.

By this time it appears that Mary was deceased and William decided to formalize a ecclesiastical or civil cermony for in January 1795, he made deed of gift to his "beloved wife" Anna and her children.

Notes for William B. Denmark:

William B. Denmark Sr., son of Francis is the 3rd generation of Denmarks in Virginia. He was born 1708 in VA., and died 1766 in North Carolina.

William Denmark moved from Virginia to Hyde County, North Carolina. It appears that William married in North Carolina to Mourning (unknown). Only two children are known born to William and Mourning.

William was a blacksmith by trade and by 1751 he was old and very much afflicted with illness he was exempted from public duties. He died in 1766 and the lands in Hyde Co. fell to his son, William then living in Pitt Co., near his sister and family.

Children of William and Morning are:

1. Abigail Denmark, born 1731 Hyde County, North Carolina, married William Mill Travis 11.

2. William B. Denmark

William Denmark was an educated man as he could write his own name, even abbreviated "William" for "Wm". He became a town's blacksmith. When his son William Batchelor was born he was the blacksmith in the town of Woodstock, located in Hyde County, North Carolina. He died in 1751.

253. Margaret Tait Douglas, born 1722 in Arbuthnott Parish Church, Kincardineshire, Scotland. She was the daughter of 506. William Tait and 507. Margaret Colley.

Notes for John Wise:

1. John Wise RS-SC Militia (David Wyse, George Wyse, Alexander Wyse) was born about June 1721 in Arbuthnott, Kincardineshire, Scotland, and was christened at the Arbuthnot Parish Church on 24 July 1721. He was the son of DAVID WYSE (???-???) and his wife ??? (name unknown), of Arbuthnott, Kincardineshire, Scotland. He died in Sep 1780, as an English Prisoner-of-War on the old English Prison Ship "Forbay" anchored in Charles Towne Harbor, English Province of South Carolina. He was last known to be living on Horse Creek, near Wise Mill, and "on the Charles Towne Road," in southeast Edgefield District, English Province of South Carolina. He married 1740 MARGARET TAIT (b. c1722) in Arbuthnott Parish Church, Kincardineshire, Scotland. She was the daughter of William Tait and his wife Margaret Colley, of Maryculter, Kincardineshire, Scotland. Margaret was also the paternal granddaughter of John Tait and Elizabeth Edward, probably also from Kincardineshire, Scotland. His wife Margaret died at their Horse Creek Plantation, Edgefield County, English Province of South Carolina. John, his wife, and his son William (there may have been a son named John Jr. too) migrated circa 1745-1750 from Scotland, probably to and through the English Province of North Carolina, and traveled overland into the Scot Pee Dee River Settlement area, then in Prince Fredrick's Parish [part now in Marion County], English Province of South Carolina.

We have recently had three major findings: (1) This JOHN WISE (1721-1780) and his son WILLIAM WISE (1744-1816) were, in fact, both born in Kincardineshire, Scotland; (2) that this JOHN WISE's father was DAVID WISE, probably also from Kincardineshire, Scotland; and (3) that JOHN WISE (1721-1780) was, in fact, arrested in 1780 by the English Army for aiding and comforting local rebels (South Carolina Militia soldiers) during the American Revolutionary War. A documented officer's record was found that confirms that JOHN WISE, RS-SC Militia was arrested, imprisoned, and died aboard an English prison ship in Charleston Harbor that same year. The name of the English Prison Ship in Charleston Harbor during this time frame has been identified as the "Forbay." Will provide more details as they become known.

Child of John Wise and Margaret Douglas is:

124. William Batchelot Denmark, born 1735 in Belhaven, Beauford County, NC. He was the son of 248. William B. Denmark and 249. Mourning Mittom Moye. He married 255. Mary Moye.

255. Mary Moye, born 1745 in Beaufort, Pitt, North Carolina, USA; died 1793. She was the daughter of 510. John Moye.

Notes for William Batchelot Denmark:

William Batchelot Denmark, son of William was born about 1735 in present Belhaven in Beauford Co. then Hyde Precinct of Old Bath Co. North Carolina.

He was living in Pitt Co. NC., when his father William died in 1766. While living in Pitt Co. William practicing a twentieth century lifestyle. He had a wife and a common law spouse, both of whom were bearing him children. They were sisters, Mary and Anna Moye

When the 1766 deed was executed, tranferring land that he had inherited from his father, it was in his name and that of his wife, Mary. Yet by this time he had fathered two children by Anna, his wife's sister and his common law spouse.

William moved to Craven Co. about 1774 and settled near old Fort Barnwell. When he sold land that year Anna was still with him and witnessed the land transaction. She signed her name as Anna Moye

About ten years later 1784 something happened to the three individuals and William and Anna left Mary and parted ways. William sold out in December 1784 and went to Georgia with Anna and her children. Mary is found in Duplin Co. two years later enumberated with four of her children. Mary died before 1790

William settled on the East side of the Ogeechee River in Effingham Co. and was later granted 500 acres of land. A family problem arose on the East side and caused the Denmarks to settled on the West side of the Ogeechee in Bulloch Co. The Georgia Gazette states that a man named Denmark may have shot and killed a young man named Levi Dykes.

By this time it appears that Mary was deceased and William decided to formalize a ecclesiastical or civil cermony for in January 1795, he made deed of gift to his "beloved wife" Anna and her children.

Children of William and Mary Moye Denmark

William had two sons named James and William, one for each wife. James was probably named for their grandfather Moye.

1. Margaret Denmark, born NC., died 1821 Bullock Co. GA. It appears she married William Wise, son of John.

The earliest known Denmark ancestor is William Denmark, who was born about 1706. He was a blacksmith in Woodstock, located in Hyde County, North Carolina when his son, William Batchelor Denmark was born. He died about 1751.

William Batchelor Denmark served during the American Revolution.

He apparently sired two groups of children, either legally or by common law marriage. His first wife- Mary Moye was married about 1745. After Mary's death in 1793 William declared Anna, Mary's sister, his wife in 1794. Our line descends from Mary Moye, William's first wife.

Notes for John Nicholas Copeland:

from Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy: Virginia

[p.21] CHUCKATUCK MONTHLY MEETING (also called Nansemond Monthly Meeting)

In the latter part of 1658 John Copeland was in England and in 1661 we hear of his presence in London and in 1667 he was married, for the first time. The record of his marriage describes him as being from "Lockington, North Cave, in the county of York. He married again in 1677 (presumably in England) after the death of his first wife in 1675. Ten years later (1687) he is again in America, as a letter to George Fox mentions that he is in Virginia. His signature appears many times in the Chuckatuck record between 1679-96. In 1691 he entered for the third time into the state of matrimony and, as has been seen, Story lodged in his house at Chuckatuck in 1698. His residence seems to have been a frequent meeting place for the Friends of the Chuckatuck area. Bowden gives the date of his death as the ninth of the first month 1718 and says he was buried at North Cave, England. In connection with John Copeland a news item of June 1940 becomes most interesting: "Jamestown, Virginia - Possibly the oldest example of American pewter in existence was excavated recently during archeological work at Jamestown Island … It consists of the fragment of a spoon ‘by Joseph Copeland’. It is dated ‘Chuckatuck 1675’". This Joseph Copeland was probably a relative of John Copeland, according to Boddie the Isle of Wight historian, and inherited the estate of Major Taberer of that County. It should be possible to show that all the Copelands of Virginia Quaker tradition are descendants or relatives of this most unusual man - John Copeland.

983. N N Ottmann, born 1655.

Child of Johann Ottman and N Ottmann is:

992. John Denmarke, born in England?.

Notes for John Denmarke:

The earliest Denmark ancestor for this family was a John Denmark who was an immigrant from England. It is believed he brought his family with him, but no documents has verified the fact. John Denmark was living on a Plantation near the site where Jamestown, VA., is now located, on the Eastern shore of Virginia. Just when did John come to the new Country? He had to be there several months and perhaps a year or two in order to have a plantation. The earliest date found for him, is February 16, 1623.

The name of the ship in which he sails is not known. But it is believed he landed in Elizabeth City, VA.

The only known child born to John was a son, Francis Denmark. There were probably more children, but I do not know who they were.

Notes for Edward Lockey:

LOCKEY - COLLIER - CARY. Edward Lockey, of York county, Va., was a brother

of John Lockey, grocer of London, and of "Elizabeth Friend als. Lockey", whose

daughter, True, was wife in 1667 to Richard Walton, citizen and merchant of

London. Edward Lockey married Elizabeth, widow of John Hansford, and died s.p.

about 1667. He left his property to his cousin Isaac Collier, Jun., and to

Mary and Anne Lockey, daughters of his nephew Edward Lockey, deced. If Isaac

Collier, Jun., should die without issue, his share was to go to Francis Carter,

the son of William Carter, and if Francis be dead or unheard of, then to Judith

Lockey, sister of Mary and Anne. In 1671 Isaac Collier, Jun., being dead, and

said Carter not turning up, the general court adjudged Isaac's share to Henry

Cary, who had married Judith Lockey, excepting the land which which was adjudged

"to the brother of said Isaac Collier".

Mr. John Myhill married Mary Lockey, and was ordered December 7, 1668, to

pay 310 pds. of tobacco to Dr. Francis Haddon for physick and attendance ad-

ministered to Mary's uncle, Mr. Edward Lockey. - York County Records.

1153. Sarah Ratcliff, born 1618; died 1667 in Isle Of Wight, Virginia, USA. She was the daughter of 2306. Richard Ratcliffe and 2307. Elizabeth Cotchings.

Notes for John Copeland:

4. John COPELAND was christened on 24 Feb 1611/12 in St. Mary's Church in Dolphinholm, England. He was born in 1612 in Dolphinholm, England. He emigrated in 1635 from to Chuckatuck, Isle of Wight. He died in 1682 in Isle of Wight Co., Va. He was in Quaker. John Copeland was born on 24 Feb 1612 in Dolphin Leigh, Dolphinholm, England. He was christened on 24 Feb 1612 in St. Mary's Church, Lancaster,Lancashire,England. He died in 1682 in Isle of Wight Co., VA,.

The manuscript continues with "John was the first of the name in Virginia. The Copelands were ardent quakers. In "Early Quaker Records in Virginia" by Miles White, Jr., the Copelands are constant throughout in their attendance at weddings and meetings of the Friends. The following records are contained therein:

Elizabeth Copeland, Joseph Copeland, John Copeland, Mary Copeland and James Copeland, Junior were witnesses at weddings in 1687, 1696. 1699. and 1723/4. It should also be noted that the Taberers were among the Friends and John Copeland's son, Married Elizabeth Taberer whose birth is recorded in this history -'Elizabeth Tabberer, daughter of the

aforesaid Margrett which she bare to Thomas Tabberer was borne the last of the 10th month 1663.' "

Possibly a brother of Lawrence Copeland, who settled at Braintree, Massachusetts, in 1630.

From the Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Vol VI-Virginia: page 22 " Annual meeting in 1680 was in John Copeland's house in Chuckatuck, (Virginia)"

page 28 1680, 8, 7-John a meeting was held in his house in Chuckatuck., 1688, 3, 29. John a meeting was held in his house. ( JP NOTE:Since one John Copeland lived 1616-1682 and his son lived 1652-about 1712 I have listed this section on both more sheets as the book does not distinguish which John it was speaking about. If the manuscript is speaking of John's son that would help prove that he either had two sons John and Nicholas, or one son that was John Nicholas or Nicholas John since different genealogist disagree as to this sons name.)

on page 39: " among these earliest Quaker families not all of whom had been puritans, are found the names of Goodwin, Bennett, Hutchens, Jordan, Draper, Copeland, Devion, Johnson, Jones, Murrey, Bressie, Chapman, Boddy (Boddie), Outland, Howard, Wiggs, Exum, Barnes, West, Lawrence, Took, Taberer, Newman, Bufkin (Buskin), Perkins, Garret, Belson, Grove, Pope, Lacee and others too numerous to mention. " (JP NOTE: Many of these names are later found to intermarry with the Copelands. They were also later mentioned as the more prominent families of the area in the same book)

JP NOTE: The Copeland Manuscript supplied by Frank Luckett listed this gentleman as John Copeland, however, other sources suggest his name was Nicholas. I have listed him as John Nicholas thinking that is perhaps his full name and he was called Nicholas throughout his life to avoid confusion with his father.

In the unnamed document also provided to me by Frank Luckett in January 1977 has the following:

From "The William and Mary College Quarterly", Vol. 7, page 212: " After the restoration of King Charles II in 1660, the Quakers had a strong following -especially in the upper Parish (Virginia). the able lawyer and preacher, Thomas Story of Philadelphia, came in 1699 and in 1705 and held many open and comfortable meetings in this and other parts of Virginia. And a Chuckatuck, he met his ancient friend, Elizabeth Webb of Gloucestershire, England, and John Copeland, who at his request, showed him his mutilated ear, he being one of the first of those who had their right ear cut by the Presbyterians, or Independents of New England." (JP: Note-the Copeland Manuscript says this was John the son of Joseph and Mary Woodley)

"John Copeland, age 19" is listed as one of the 218 "passengers for Virginia 1635 in New England and Historical and Genealogical Record, Vol. 5," and may be the "John, a Quaker who came to Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts on the 'Speedwell' in 1656 and was whipped and driven from the Colony on account of his religion".

These records fit so near completely that it is believed that Joseph Copeland, grandson of Thomas Taberer, was also the grandson of John Copeland. And that this John, who was beaten and run out of Plymouth Colony about 1656, is the same as Jo, who took passage for Virginia in 1635- and the same as John, who showed his mutilated ear to Thomas Story

in 1699 or 1705 at the home of his cousin Elizabeth Copeland Webb of Gloucestershire, England . . . and another beneficiary under the Will of Thomas Taberer in Chuckatuck, Virginia, at which time John was about 78 years old.

(JP Note: various records agree that it was John, Sr, who departed on the Assurance for Virginia stayed in Isle of Wight, and was deceased in 1682. Thus making it impossible for him to be at either meeting. I believe that it is more likely the person that was the Speedwell passenger or at the meeting was either this John, Jr., the before mentioned son of Joseph

or an entirely different John Copeland.)

Notes for Lawrence Copeland:

'The Lancashire Branch (of the Copelands) has been traced back to 1500. One section living in Dolphin Leigh had very hard luck. The head of this Branch, Lawrence Copeland was a solid Roundhead, and for his religious faith he appears to have died. His estates were sequestered by the Crown for recusancy. The eldest son Robert, tried to obtain these estates; but, the result.... 'Claim allowed with arrears from the fathers death on fuller proof of the death and on the sons taking the Oath of Adjuration'' Robert does not appear to have done this and it is believed he and his brother, Lawrence, sailed to America. The other two sons, John and Thomas, are believed to have jolned their relatives in Staffordshire.' It is generally believed that Lawrence is the one who settled in Braintree, Mass. in 1630; and that John came to Virginia in 1635.' Note: Lawrence is the head of a large family of Copelands in New England, moving westward, but there is no evidence that- - had any children. Thomas went to Barbados and some of his sisters went to Virginia as spelled out in his will.

ROUNDHEADS the name given to the supporters of the parliamentary cause during the English civil war. Many Puritans, scorning gentlemen's fashions of the 17th century, wore their hair closely cropped. In 1641 bewigged or long-haired royalists insulted their Puritan opponents in Parliament by calling them Roundheads. The term was later applied to all supporters of the parliamentary rebellion, even though the leader of the Roundheads, Oliver Cromwell, wore his hair long.

Note that the dates don't agree, did John go to Virginia before his father was killed?

Massachusettes Branch Of Copelands

of Mrs. Sarah I.C. Matheson

The "emigrant" Lawrence Copeland came to Boston and settled in Braintree, Mass. sometime in the 1630's. He married late in life. He probably like most of the Massachusetts settlers, emigrated from the east coast of England. There is quite a clan of Copelands in the vicinity of Newcastle, England and have been for a very long time. The name crops up in the 13th century and probably earlier, then spelled Coupland and Couplaunde. John and William seem to be favorite names. Their crest is a 'Swan with a broken wing.'

Notes for Abraham Peirsey:

Abraham PEIRSEY/PIERSEY arrived at Jamestowne aboard the ship "Susan", the first Magazine Ship sent to the Colony in 1616 from England. His wife, Elizabeth DRAPER and their two daughters, Elizabeth and Mary, arrived on the "Southampton" in 1616. He returned to England on the "Susan" and returned to Jamestowne aboard the "George", the second magazine ship. Abraham Peirsey was a Virginia Company stockholder. He made a trading visit to Newfoundland in 1619 on the "George" to exchange tobacco for fish.

Governor Sir George Yeardley sold his plantation known as Flowerdieu Hundred, which was on the south side of the James River just upstream from James City, to Abraham Peirsey in 1624. Peirsey was a merchant-planter who, after Yeardley, ranked as the second wealthiest man in Virginia. A census of the colony taken in 1625 provides some rare details about Flowerdew Hundred at that time. A total of 57 people lived on the plantation, including 29 servants and 7 Negroes’ belonging to Peirsey. In August 1619 the first African slaves are brought to Virginia by Captain Jope in a Dutch ship. Governor Yeardley and a merchant, Abraham PEIRSEY, exchange twenty of them for supplies. These Africans become indentured servants like the white indentured servants who traded passage for servitude. They were found to be quite profitable in the cultivation of tobacco which was the staple crop at that time. The other residents included six married men, their families and servants, three single men, and a minister. There were twelve dwelling houses on the plantation as well as three storehouses, four tobacco houses, and the first windmill erected in the country. Ample supplies of food were on hand in the form of cattle, hogs, corn, peas, and quantities of fish. A continued concern over defense was reflected in the cannon, armour, gunpowder, and swords listed. Floweredieu Hundred became a palisaded settlement which may account for there being only six deaths during the Indian uprising in 1622.

In 1624, Peirsey owned Windmill Point at Peirseys Hundred which included twelve dwellings, three storehouses, four tobacco houses and the first windmill constructed in America. (Recontruction completed in 1978 to commemorate the original mill erected in 1621 by the original owner, Sir George Yeardley.) Abraham Peirsey was appointed to the Commission on 24 Oct 1623 along with John Pory, John Harvey, John Jefferson and Samuel Mathews to "look into the state of Virginia." He was appointed to the Council 1624 and was a member of the House of Burgesses in 1625.

The plantation went to his second wife, Frances Greville, upon his death in 1627/1628. She later married Samuel Mathews and died in 1633. At her death the property was awarded to his daughter Mary Peirsey HILL. In the five years that passed after Abraham's death the estate was altered to where Mary was destitute. As one of Mary's first act upon acquiring Peirsey Hundred she renamed it to the original Flowerdieu Hundred. Today, the plantation is held by the Flowerdew Hundred Foundation. The brass pipe tamper, at right, was uncovered during archaeological studies.

Notes for Robert Collier/Coleire:

ROBERT COLEIRE de DARLASTON (c. 1453 - c. 1505)

Robert Coleire was born in France about 1453 and died in Straffordshire, England about 1505. He married lsabella Doddington, daughter of Sir John Doddington, about 1483.

Robert Coleire came to England about 1482, long preceding the arrival of other members of his family in England and Ireland. He settled in the market town of Stone Manor, in Straffordshire County, England. The town stands on the river Trent and Trent Mersey Canal, 7 miles north northwest of Strafford, 7 miles south of Stoke-upon-Trent,

and 137 miles from London. He was a taylor (tailor), draper (a dealer in cloth or clothes), then a wool buyer. Some of these staplers (dealers in staple goods) grew to great wealth. In the year 1503, two years before his death, Robert and Isabella moved to Darlaston Manor. Robert and his son Thurston leased Darlaston Manor, in the county of Straffordshire, from Thomas Whally, and then in 1537, Robert's son James purchased the manor from Richard Whally.

Except for a brief time when Robert's great grandson, James Collier, sold the manor to his father-in-law in 1597 and until his son Francis repurchased it from his grandfather in 1597, there was a Collier (Coleire) as Lord of Darlaston for over 180 years, until a great-great-great-great-grandson, James Collier (Coleire) sold it to William Jervis in 1685.
