This land was assigned a patent for 400 acres in Westmoreland County, Virginia 18 March 1662, due by new rightfor transporting 8 persons. (This land was first granted to Richard Codsford in 1654 and then to Henry Patton in 1657. If they did not clearpart of the acreage as required in a certain amount of time, the land wasgranted to someone else.) The land was an the south side of the Petomeck (Potomac) River known by name Sandy or Raggett Point. (Cavaliers andPioneers, 1623-66, Patent Book 4, p.365)

Notes:

Farnifold Green married Hannah Kent, whose first husband was JohnSmithwick. They had at least one child, a daughter Ann Smithwick,referred in Farnifold Green’s will above as his “daughter in law,”evidently meaning in today’s legal terminology that she was hisstep-daughter. Hannah Kent’s parents were Thomas Kent and Ann CornellKent. Ann Kent married Thomas Lepper after her first husband’s death,thought to have been during an attack by Tuscarora Indians. Ann Lepperwas murdered by the Tuscaroras during the 1713-14 Indian War. HannahKent Smithwick Green later married Richard Graves and had at least twochildren by him. She also ran the ferry across a tributary of the NeuseRiver not far from Turkey Quarter on the Old Washington Post Road in whatis now Craven County after Graves’s death. Her last husband was GeorgeLinnington; they had no children. She is thought to have died after1742.

Hannah Graves was Hannah KENT, daughter of Thomas Kent and Ann CornellKent of Rhode Island. The Kents relocated into Old Albemarle County,then to Bath County. Hannah first married a Smithwick and had twodaughters by him (daughter, Anne was mentioned in Farnefold Green’swill.). She then married Captain Farnefold Green and had at least sixchildren by him before he was murdered at their plantation close toOriental, North Carolina, during the Tuscarora Indian Wars (ca 1712-1714). Hannahthen married Richard Graves and had Thomas and Mary Graves by him. (MaryGraves married Richard Nixon.) When Richard Graves died, Hannah Gravesoperated a ferry across what is now Streets Ferry, which is also close towhere her son’s property, Turkey Quarter" is located. The date of deathof Hannah Kent/Smithwick/Green/Graves /Linnington has yet to bediscovered, although it was apparently after 1742 - some time after thedate of George Linnington’s will. (Submitted by Florence Fulford Moore,descendant of Farnefold and Hannah Green, through their daughter,Elizabeth.)

Notes:

Roger Greene was an emigrant to Virginia in 1635 on board the ship "Abraham", when he was aged 24, and was therefore born around 1610/11 [J.C. Hotten, Original Lists of Persons Emigrating to America 1600-1700,Chatto & Windus, 1874].

Roger Green is considered by some genealogists to be either the father or uncle of Timothy Green. Roger Green enrolled "Sizar" (meaning he enrolled as a student at reduced fees) at St. Catherine's, Cambridge, Easter of 1631. He received his B.A. 1634--35 and his M.A. 1638, ordained a priest 9 March 1638-39. He is next noted in Nansemond County, Virginia ministering to the inhabitants there. He is credited with founding North Carolina's first settlement in July 1653 on the bank of the Roanoke River, and on the south side of the Chowan and tributary streams. The grant reads as follows: "Upon the petition of Roger Green, Clerk (title applied only to ministers of the Church of England), on behalf of himself and the inhabitants of Nansemond River, it is ordered by the present Grand Assembly, that 10,000 acres of land be granted unto 100 such persons who shall first seat (settle) on the Moratuck or Roanoke Rivers and the branches thereof---provided that such seaters settle advantageously for security...... that there be granted the said Roger Green the rights of 1,000 acres of land. (Hening I, p.380)

Reverend Roger Green returned to England where on 2 September 1661, he presented a pamphlet to the Lord and Bishop of London, entitled"Virginia's Cure", in order to show the unhappy state of the Church in Virginia and the remedy of it. He was also one who examined into the competency of all ministers of the colony. He officiated at Jamestown, and was still living in 1671. (Colonial Church in Virginia, page 246)
