The Hallom Family of Burnham-on-Crouch
Robert Hallom of Henrico and Ann Baker
Robert Hallom was born about 1600 in Burnham-on-Crouch in Essex, England and he died April 6, 1638 on Turkey Island, Henrico County, Virginia, USA. It is recorded on Geni that he was the son of Robert Hallom and Elizabeth Bellett and this same source indicates that Robert and his brothers William and Thomas were actually half-siblings. Robert Hallam was the second husband of Ann (Baker) and their children were Ann, Sarah and Robert II Hallom. (Robert Hallom)
He came to Virginia in 1620 on the Francis Bonaventure, the servant of Luke Boyse. By 1636 he was bringing his own immigrants to Virginia.
An entry in Early Virginia Immigrants, 1623-1666, p. 273 reads: "Read, John, 1636 by Robert Hollam, Henrico County" (Greer, 1912)

John Goulding of Burnham-on-Crouch named in the will of William Hallom, the brother of Robert
The intertwined family relationships of the Hallom, Llewellyn, Price and perhaps Mason families are important because there was a JOHN GOULDING who was named in the will of William Hallom, the brother of Robert Hallom. William stayed behind in Burnham while his brother ventured to Virginia and this John Goulding was also from Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex, England. The will lists John Goulding as his "overseer and friend" and in 1657 specifically states that he was of Burnham, Essex although it is not stated where he may have originally come from. John Goulding is also listed as one of the executors, so the relationship must have been a close one.
This John Goulding died sometime after 1665 and records indicate the property William Hallom owned was in New Kent County, Virginia adjacent to the property of Thomas Goodrich. Thomas Goodrich "brought over" John Goulding. This is actually the first person named John Goulding who is in a specific place in Virginia and linked to a specific place in England.
This man is not the same John Golding who married Elizabeth Ripley. They belong to two distinct family lines and are not the same person.

Ann (Baker) married Robert Hallom after the death of her first husband John Price on May 6, 1638. A patent was issued to Ann Hallom, widow, and the heirs of Robert Hallom, deceased for 1000 acres in Henrico, northeast by the woods, southwest by the river, northwest by Bremo and the land of Mr. Richard Cocke and southeast toward Turkey Island Creek and adjacent land of John Price. This parcel of land is easy to find because Bremo is a well-known location in Virginia.

Richard Cocke and Temperance Bailey of Bremo Plantation
The only remnant of Bremo on the James River is a plaque which reads
“Bremo – Richard Cocke, the Immigrant and founder of his family in Virginia, born in England, patented land here March 6, 1636. Near this spot he made his home and called it “Bremo”. Here he lived and his descendants after him for six generations and here he and some of them lie buried. His son Thomas lived nearby at Malvern Hills, his other children were Richard the elder, who inherited Bremo, John, William, Richard the Younger, Elizabeth and Edward.”
There is a walled cemetery where Richard Cocke and his wife Temperance Bailey, the daughter of Cecily “Ancient Planter” are buried.
Family Cemetery on Bremo Plantation. No headstone. Richard, Temperance Bailey Cocke and their son Richard "the elder" Cocke b. 1639. They are buried in the orchard. The James River makes a horseshoe around this place.

Richard Cocke of Bremo
When Robert Hallom died, Ann his widow married Daniel Llewellyn by 1640. He is the subject of the next chapter. He was in Virginia before 19 September 1633 when he was claimed as a headright by Captain William Perry. Daniel Llewellyn then took over the management of all of the Virginia interests of the Halloms who were still in England and in doing so they produced a considerable correspondence that is recorded in the court records of Charles City County. He died while in England on business. Robert II Hallom was the son of Robert Hallom and Ann and when his mother married for the third time, Robert was sent back to England, presumably to Burnham to live with his aunt Margaret, who was before his death married to his father’s brother Thomas. Margaret had remarried to William Mason and Robert was to be apprenticed to his cousin Wood and learn the trade of Salter. Robert died without leaving heirs.
A Salter is engaged in doing exactly what it sounds like. It was a noble profession and the Worshipful Company of Salters is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London, 9th in order of precedence. Originally the Salter's Company included individuals whose trades involved the use of salts and the preparation of chemical mixtures to use in food. The Company was first granted a Royal Charter of incorporation in 1394. The validity of this profession in Burnham certainly makes sense, as the town is on a river that leads into the sea. ("Worshipful Company of Salters")
His name is mentioned in land transactions conducted in Virginia, on his behalf, by his stepfather Daniel Llewellyn and his brother-in-law John Gundry. He is mentioned in the wills of his uncle William Hallom, dated August 2,1657and also in the will of his step-father Daniel Llewellyn, therefore he must have died some time before April 24, 1691, when John Gundry, son of John & Ann, conveys to William Randolph the 1/3 interest of his deceased uncle in the Turkey Island tract the family held.
So Robert II Hallom went back to England and presumably died there, but who was William Mason, his Aunt Margaret Hallom’s husband? There is very little mention of him other than a comment by Mason that Robert was a “"prettie witty boy and well approved of", heir to one third of the 1000 acre "Turkey Island" tract which, he dying without issue was inherited by his nephews Samuel Woodward and John Gundry who sold to William Randolph. Robert was last mentioned in the will of his uncle WILLIAM HALLOM of Burnham, Essex 2 Aug 1657, which gave him 100 pounds on his coming of age or having served out his time with EDWARD PALMER of Burnham, provided he divide 12 pounds between his sisters Ann and Sarah. Footnote: According to Charles City Co Order Bk 1655-65 p 92-93 In his will Llewellyn stated he was from Chelmsford in Essex, and it is probable he had known the Hallom family in Essex. (Dorman)
The full transcription of William Mason’s correspondence with Daniel Llewellyn is recorded in Virginia Colonial Abstracts.
p. 56 Virginia Colonial Abstracts Letter from William Mason to Daniel Llewellin in Virginia (Note: William Mason married the sister of Daniel Llewellin)
“Loveing Brother. These are to give you to understand that I rec'd your lte'tr dated the 11th of April 1655 wherein you do expresse your Desire to heare from me, and that in regard you grow --- that you are willing to satisfie that tobacco that is due unto me.

Yrs William Mason Rec 14 April 1657.”
It is apparent that things were not going very well in Virginia. William Mason makes several mentions of “Mr. Bayly”, but this could not be Thomas “Immigrant” Bailey who was the first husband of Cicely “Ancient Planter” because that man died in 1620.
Three brothers of Robert Hallom were living in England.
1. John, citizen and poulterer of London who left a will 21 June 1649-7 Nov 1649 (P.C.C. 167 Fairfax in VLVL p 325)
2. William of Burnham, County Essex was a salter who left a will 2 Aug 1657-8 Sept 1657 (P.C.C. 362 Ruthven in VLVL p 326)
3. Thomas, who married Margaret __ and had issue Thomas Jr. and Ann (who married __Wood, a salter). Thomas Sr. was dead by 1644 and that’s when his widow married (2) William Mason.
Ann (Baker)
Ann, whose last name may or may not be Baker is the person who links the Llewellyn and Hallom families together. Her name is in parentheses because it is not certain that it was Baker. It was most certainly not Matthews, and she was not the daughter of Samuel Matthews because the records show that Samuel Matthews was only 12 or 13 years older than Ann. Others have claimed that she was born Ann Baker, but fail to show documentary proof for that name, therefore proof of her maiden name is still lacking. She married three times and left many descendants.
Ann was born January 11 1604 in Cowes, Isle of Wight, England and she died May 15, 1666 in Charles City County, Virginia, USA. She married first (1) John Price, a wealthy landowner and “Ancient Planter”. When he died she married for the second time (2) to Robert Hallom, Sr. Her third marriage (3) was to Daniel Llewellyn who left such interesting correspondence about the condition of the Plantation in Virginia with William Mason. An interesting story that has come down through the centuries has to do with Ann and her first husband John Price. Ann was traveling on the ship “Francis Bonaventure” in 1620. On the same ship was Robert Hallom, Sr.
"John Price, aged 40, came in the Starr in May __ and Ann, his wife, aged 21 in the Francis Bonaventure, August 1620 and Mary, a child aged 3 months.." (Thompson-Yates, p. 728)
A great website called “Packrat Pro” https://www.packrat-pro.com/ships/bonadventure2.htm keeps track of most of the early migration ships that crossed over. The entry reads as follows:
“The following entries were obtained from my Hotten book 8a from the Musters of the Inhabitants in Virginia 1624/1625 chapters, pages 201 thru 265, which lists the muster captain, and what ship the individual arrived on.

Robert Hollam was a young man of 23, going to the Neck of Land, Charles City, Virginia as the servant to Luke Boyse. Luke Boyse has some information attached to him. According to WikiTree, he was born about 1580 in Kent, England and he married Alice Coxe in about 1623 in Charles City County, Virginia, USA. He died about June 21, 1626 in Charles City County, Virginia. This source says he came to Virginia in 1619 on board the ship Edwine and the list of names of the living in Virginia on February 16, 1623/4 list "Luke Boys and Mrs. Boys".
A Muster of the Inhabitants of the Neck-of-land in the Corporation of James City in Virginia, taken January 1624/5 has the following information:
Luke Boyse aged 44 years arrived in the Edwine in May 1619
Allice his wife arrived in the Bona-Nova in Aprill 1622
Servants
Robert Hollam aged 23 years in the Bonaventure August 1620
Joseph Royall aged 22 years in the Charitie July 1622
Luke Boyse was a Member of the House of Burgesses from Neck of Land in 1623-4, assembled 5 March 1623/4.
He died on 21 Jun 1626, according to testimony given at General Court. His widow Alice Coxe after his death married Matthew Edloe, Sr. (Luke Boyse)
Luke's daughter Hannah received 300 acres in Henrico.
"Hannah Boyse, daughter and heir of Luke Boyse, late of Henrico, decd., patented in November 1635 300 acres in Henrico adjoining land of her mother Alice Edlowe, due 50 acres for her personal adventure and 50 acres for the personal adventure of her father and 200 acres for transportation of servants, viz: Thomas Lewis, ROBERT HALLOM, JOSEPH ROYALL, Edward Holland and Oliver Allen. (Virginia Magazine, V. p. 97)
There was a regrant 13 July 1637. (Thompson-Yates, p. 728) See also (ancestry.com)
The following is from Genealogies of Virginia Families from the William and Mary College Quarterly. Vol. IV. (Genealogies of Virginia Families from the William & Mary Quarterly, Vol IV)
“So far we see that John Price by his wife Anne had a daughter Mary 3 months old on 23 Feb. 1624 and a son and heir Matthew Price old enough to receive a re-grant dated 23 may 1638 of the 150 acres that had been granted his father John Price in 1619 and that John Price had died and his widow Anne had married Robert Hallom, widow and to the heirs of Robert Hallom.”
John Price
Ann married (1) JOHN PRICE Bef. 1623 in Virginia. He was born Abt. 1584 in Brecknock, Breconshire, Wales, and died 1628 in Charles City County, VA and by the end of his life was an immensely wealthy man with 3000 acres of land near the holdings of Richard Cocke and Nathaniel Bacon of Bacon’s Rebellion.
Did Anne answer the call to become one of the "tobacco brides" of Jamestown? There was a considerable discrepancy in the age between herself and her husband but that wasn’t particularly unusual at the time.
The following is from Wikipedia.
"In 1619, 90 young single women from England went to Jamestown to become wives of the men there, with the women being auctioned off for 150 pounds of tobacco each (to be paid to the shipping company), as that was the cost of each woman's travel to America. All 90 of them did indeed become wives. The youngest, Jane Dier, had been fifteen or sixteen years old when she left, and one of the oldest, Alice Burges, was twenty-eight. Most of their fathers had died. Such voyagers were called tobacco brides and 150 pounds of tobacco was the typical auction price for them, although they usually had the right to refuse the highest bidder. However, tobacco brides were often sent to America against their will, and often sent at very young ages. There were many women and girls who went to America for this purpose (the 1619 voyage being the first), with the women and girls promised free passage and trousseaus for their trouble. Many tobacco brides came to America fleeing hardship, but many also suffered once in America. 144 tobacco brides were brought to Jamestown by the Virginia Company between 1619 and 1622, but only thirty-five of them lived through their first six years in America." (Tobacco Brides)
The following is from THE CURD FAMILY IN AMERICA, John Price immigrant ancestor of Henrico County, Virginia.
"In 1619 John Price received large grants of land in the Curl's Neck section of Henrico County, Virginia where we later find the noted plantations, "Curles", the home of Nathaniel Bacon, the determined rebel of 1679, "Bremo", home of the immigrant Richard Cocke and "Turkey Island" home of the immigrant William Randolph. After the Indian massacre of 1622 John Price became a man of importance in the Virginia settlement, but his early death in 1628 is responsible for the few definite records we have of his activities. Turning to the land grant books of Henrico County we find many items of value to those interested in his history although his grants were made at too early a date to be recorded in Virginia.
March 6, 1636 Richard Cocke received a grant for 3,000 acres of land in the upper part of Curl's Neck, part of which became the noted "Bremo" Plantation, on the east it adjoined the land of John Price and of "Turkey Island", later the property of Anne Hallom, widow first of John Price and second of Robert Hallom, still later to become the home of William Randolph, and on the west “Curles”, the home of Nathaniel Bacon. (John Price Immigrant Ancestor of Henrico, Virginia)
We have no indication of who Anne was or whether or not she was the second wife of John Price, as the disparity in their ages might suggest. Robert Hallom was nearer Anne’s age and had come over in the same ship with her as a headright of Luke Boyse….
Who was the other man, servant of Luke Boyse listed in the 1624 Muster. His name was Joseph Royall.
Joseph Royall was brought over to Virginia with Robert Hallom. Both were servants of Luke Boyse
"The earliest mention of Royall in Virginia is in a land patent granted by Harvey, August 15, 1637 in which Joseph Royall is granted three hundred acres of land in the county of Henrico on the southeast side of Turkey Island creek and extending to the mouth of said creek. It is recited in the patent that said land is due; fifty acres for the transportation of his first wife, Thomasin; fifty acres for the transportation of Ann, now his wife; fifty acres for the transportation of his brother Henry Royall and one hundred acres for the transportation of two persons, Robert Warell and John Wells.
Joseph Royall, probably a son of the founder of the family in Virginia married Katherine, who married (second) Henry Isham, Sr.. The will of Mrs. Katherine Isham, dated October 10, 1686 names among others her daughters Mrs. Randolph and Mrs. Eppes.." (Virginia Biography, pp. 517-518)
From Adventurers of Purse and Person, by Dorman, Vol. II (Dorman, p. 849)
Ann [____] Price, who came to Virginia in the Francis Bonaventure, August 1620, and was living with her first husband John Price at Neck of Land, Charles City, 1623/4, being listed there in the muster, 1624/5, aged 21. John and Ann Baker Price were the parents of the following 3 known children:
1. JOHN PRICE b. 1627, Henrico, VA, d. 1662, Henrico, VA. He married a daughter of John WALL. They had sons Daniel and John.
“John Price was born about 1628 in Virginia. He died about 1662 at the age of 34. He was the son of John Price, Ancient Planter and wife Ann. It is believed that he married twice. There are numerous proposals as to the identity of these wives. (John’s wife / wives has no proved name at all - not a given name, not a surname.)
John and his brother Daniel sold 150 acres in 1677, land which was originally patented to the first John Price in 1619. Their uncle Matthew patented land on 23 May 1638; land that was on Turkey Island Creek, bounded by Bremo and the lands granted to his late father John Price and in possession of his mother Ann Hallom, widow. This land was due Mathew in right of his father.
A Deed in Henrico Co dated 18 Oct 1681 from Benjamin Hatcher to John Pleasants stated that he was selling a tract of land that had belonged to this father William Hatcher, which William Hatcher had purchased of Daniel & John Price in 1677. This land was known and called by the name of Turkey Island Pointe. A later deed made in Henrico Co in 1691 between John Gundry, son of John Gundry & Ann his wife who was a daughter of Robert Hallum and Ann Price Hallum, reveals Gundry was selling a tract which bounded on Turkey Island Creek, and with the land of John Pleasants, formerly belonging to John Price.
If Daniel and John Price inherited this land belonging to their grandfather, then that also proves that their father, John Price, was a son of the earliest John. The above deeds also make clear that Daniel and John did not inherit the same piece of property patented by their uncle Matthew, but the property that had been the original grant of John Price in 1619. It is not known what happened to the property of Matthew Price, nor if he had descendants.
Children of John Price:
• Daniel Price, born in 1648; died about 1692 at the age of 44, in Henrico County, Virginia
• John Price III, born about 1650 in Henrico County, Virginia.; died in May 1711 at the age of 61 in Henrico County, Virginia.
Jamestown-South Carolina 1610/11-1784
Daniel Price's (1755) father was also Daniel Price and he was born around 1717 in Henrico County Virginia and died around 1801, also in Edgefield County South Carolina. His wife was Mary. Her last name is unknown but many researchers contend that it was Williamson. [14] Daniel Price's (1717) father was John Price. He was born about 1689 in Henrico County Virginia and married Hannah Williamson. John died in Goochland Virginia in 1751. [15] John Price's (1689) father was John Price born around 1660 in Henrico County Virginia. He married Jane Pugh (Pew). Interestingly, their son Pugh Price, John's (1689) brother was of the line of General Sterling Price.
John Price's (1660) father was John Price born 1622 in James City Virginia. He died in 1662. There is some controversy about the name of his wife. Some believe it was Jane Rowen and others believe that Jane married a Rowen after John died.
John Price's (1622) father was John Price born 1585 in Brecton Wales. He was noble born and well educated as was his grandfather. Some believe he first married a woman named Mary who may not have been the mother of John (1622). Vina Chandler Price refutes this contention. John first immigrated to America in 1611 and was involved with the original Jamestown settlement. Some believe he returned to the United Kingdom after the death of his wife Mary and remarried a woman named Ann Matthews in 1619. Vina Chandler Price asserts Ann came to America around 1620 and that is where she met and married John. Ann is most likely the mother of John (1622).” (John Price)
2. MARY PRICE was born October 1623 in Virginia. Said to have married Richard Cocke Sr of Bremo. Although these families were closely associated there is no proof of this marriage. The proponents of the earlier date have John and Ann married in England and baby Mary age 3 month upon arrival in Virginia. This does not work because John's arrival in Virginia is documented as 1611 and Ann's is documented as 1620. If Mary was 3 months old in 1620, John was most likely not the father.
3. MATTHEW PRICE was born about 1626. 23 May 1638. Patent granted Matthew Price as son and heir of John Price for 150 acres on Turkey Island Creek in Henrico Co. "granted by patent to his late father John Price, now in possession of his mother Ann Hallom, Widow - being due unto him in right of his father who had a patent granted 20 Feb 1619. PB 1, part 2, p.558
John Price Sr. died in Virginia in 1628. The land eventually passed through his son Matthew’s hands to Benjamin Hatcher, the son of William Hatcher.
The Neck of Land
This is from Genealogies of Virginia Families from the William and Mary College Quarterly. Vol. IV (Genealogies of Virginia Families from the William & Mary Quarterly, Vol IV)
“In Tyler's Cradle of the Republic, 216, 222, it is said that Dale's Settlement was first called Rochedale Hundred and then Neck of Land in Charles City and Neck of Land in James City to distinguish the locations.
In 1625 John Price along with Francis West, George Sanders, William Tucker, FRANCIS EPES, LUKE BOYS, John Grew and a number of others signed a petition to the King. The Roll of the General Assembly for 1625 from the Wyatt documents shows Luke Boyse and John Price represented the Neck of Land on 10 May 1625. The full roll was: Sir Francis Wyatt, Kt., Governor; George Sanders, Esq, Captain Francis West, Sir George Yeardley, Kt., Captain John Martin, Captain Roger Smith, Captain Ralph Hamour, Captain Samuel Matthews, Abram Persey, Esq. William Claybourne. For the College: Lt Thomas Osborne and Richard Tiler. For the Neck of Land: Mr. Luke Boyse and John Price. For Shirley's Hundred: Ensign Francis Epps, Mr. Richard Biges. For Jourdan's Journey and Chapline's Choise: Ensign Isaac Chaplaine, Mr. Anthony Cawsey. For Martin's Hundred: Mr. WILLIAM HARWOOD, Mr. ELLIS EMERSON. For Corporation of Elizabeth City: Captain William Tucker, John Downman.”
Both William Harwood and Ellis Emerson are familiar through their connection with Thomas Goulding of Jamestown. William Harwood and Ellis Emerson were listed as representatives of Martin’s Hundred, but Thomas Goulding would still have been living in their employ because he did not get a lot in James City until 1638. Luke Boyse, Robert Hallom and Thomas Goulding were all contemporaries.
VIRGINIA IMMIGRANTS AND ADVENTURERS, 1607-1635 : A BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY (McCartney, 2017) records four Gouldings who came to Jamestown in Virginia as “servants” between 1607 and 1623. The following information is recorded:
GEORGE GOULDING – In 1607 George Goulding, a laborer, arrived in Virginia in the first group of colonists that settled on Jamestown Island (1) (CJS 2:142) GEORGE GOULDING – George Goulding arrived at Martin’s Hundred (7) around mid-January 1623 and was one of the Society of Martin’s Hundred’s servants. According to fellow servant, Richard Frethorne, Goulding died shortly thereafter in the home of Mr. William Harwood, the settlement’s principal leader (VCR 4:60)
SARA GOULDINGE (GOULDOCKE) – Sara Gouldinge (Gouldocke) came to Virginia on the Ann in 1623. In early 1625 she was living within the corporation of Elizabeth City, where she was a 20 year old servant in the household headed by John Banum and Robert Sweete (18) (CBE 64)
THOMAS GOULDING – Thomas Goulding came to Virginia on the GEORGE in 1623 and on February 4, 1625 was living at Martin’s Hundred (7) where he was a 26 year old servant in Ellis Emmerson’s house.
In August 1638 Thomas Goulding secured a patent for a lot in urban Jamestown (1) (CBE 61: PB 1 Pt. 2:595)
Where is the Neck of Land situated in comparison with Martin’s Hundred?
Carter's Grove, the plantation built for Carter Burwell, the grandson of Robert "King" Carter is on the same site as the settlement of Martin's Hundred. It is located south of Williamsburg.

Ann (Baker) married (2) ROBERT HALLOM Bef. 1636 in Virginia.
According to Adventurers of Purse and Person, by Dorman, Vol. II (Dorman, p. 849)
Ann [____] Price, who came to Virginia in the Francis Bonaventure, August 1620, and was living with her first husband John Price at Neck of Land, Charles City, 1623/4, being listed there in the muster, 1624/5, aged 21.
Ann married (2) Robert Hallom after the death of John Price, the date sometime between 1629 and 1636.
The land transactions give the date of Robert Hallom’s death:
• March 6, 1636 - Granted to Richard Cocke, Gent. 3000 acres bounded easterly upon the land granted to John Price, now in the tenure of Robert Hallum, westerly upon land of Thomas Harris and southerly upon the main river (Nugent, p. 54)
• June 7, 1636 - Robert Hallom was granted a patent for 1000 acres in Henrico adjoining the Edward Osborne opposite Falling Creek. There was a regrant of this land 1 Nov. 1637.
• May 6, 1638 - There was granted to Ann Hallom, widow and to the heirs of Robert Hallom, deceased, 1000 acres in Henrico lying N. by E. into the woods, s. by W. upon the river, W. by N. towards Bremo, adjoining the lands of Mr. Richard Cocke.
After Robert Hallom’s death Ann had married Daniel Llewellyn by 1640. He was in Virginia before 19 Sep 1633 when he was claimed as a headright by Capt. William Perry.
Ann and Robert Hallom had three children and they were:
1. ANN HALLOM, m. JOHN GUNDRY; b. 1622, Virginia. John Gundry, of Elizabeth City. [DOR 2:230 married as his second wife Ann Hallom, daughter of Robert Hallom and Ann.
Ann Gundry was the daughter of Robert Hallom, Sr. and his wife Ann. She was born about 1630 in Virginia and she married John Grundy of Elizabeth City County, Virginia as his second wife. He was born about 1622 and they had a son named John.
The following is from Genealogies of Virginia Families from the William and Mary College Quarterly. Vol. IV (Genealogies of Virginia Families from the William & Mary Quarterly, Vol IV)
“In April 1680 there was recorded in Henrico a power of attorney to Col. Edward Hill from Samuel Woodward, son and heir of Sarah Sturdivant, daughter of Mr. Robert Hallam and formerly wife of Samuel Woodward, deceased of Henrico and a deed from John Sturdivant and Sarah his wife to Samuel Woodward conveying a tract of land at Turkey Island in henrico containing 1000 acres, patented by the relict of Mr. Robert Hallam and granted by her to the daughters and heirs of said Hallam, namely, Sarah Sturdivant and her two sisters.
On June 1, 1691 there was recorded in Henrico a deed dated 24 April 1691 whereby John Gundry (or Grundy) of Gloster County, son of John Gundry and Anne his wife one of the daughters of Robert Hallam, late of Henrico, deceased, conveys to Captain William Randolph of Henrico the moiety of 1/3 part of a tract of land in Henrico containing 1000 acres called Turkey Island bounded by Upper line of land of Mr. Richard Cocke of Bremo, and with the lower line on the land of John Pleasants, formerly belonging to John Price, as by patent may appear the said 1/3 part bounding with the upper side on land now in possession of Capt. Randolph, being the 2/3 of aforesaid tract of 1000 acres sold by John Gundry and Anne his wife, father and mother to John Gundry, party to these presents and Samuel Woodward and Sarah his wife, younger sister to ye said Anne Gundry who together with their brother, … Hallam, deceased, had good right and title thereto by the devise of Robert Hallam avoe named as by his will may appear, which conveyed to James Crews and John Beauchamp, late of Henrico, deceased and now in possession of said Captain William Randolph, by which devise John Gundry, party to these presents, son of the aforesaid Anne Gundry, eldest daughter of said Robert Hallam, has good right of the moiety of this 1/3 part of said 1000 acres by the decease of said --- Hallom, her brother, without heirs of his body.
By deeds of lease on 16 Jan 1704 and of release of 17 Jan 1704 presented and recorded in Henrico 1 August 1705 by Captain Thomas Cocke by virtue of power of attorney from Samuel Woodward said Woodward who described himself as of Boston, mariner, son of Samuel Woodward and Sarah his wife, one of the daughters of Robert Hallam, …”
There is evidence (will of Daniel Llewellyn) that indicates that Margaret married James Crewes abt 1654. When James Crewes was executed in 1676 his will did not mention Margaret or any children indicating she had pre-deceased her husband. She was mentioned in her father's will (Daniel Llewellyn) dated 16th year of Charles ll reign (1664). This would indicate Margaret died between 1664 and 1676. (Llewellyn)
2. SARAH HALLOM, b. Abt. 1632; m. SAMUEL WOODWARD, Bef. August 1654; d. Bef. 03 February 1658/59, Henrico Co., VA
Sarah Hallom was the daughter of Robert Hallom, Sr. and wife Ann Price. Her mother was the widow of Ancient Planter John Price. Sarah was born c1632 in Virginia. She married (1) Samuel Woodward and (2) John Sturdivant. She died in late 1690 or early 1691, as her son Daniel was granted letters of administration for her estate at the January Court, 1691.
Sarah's first husband, Samuel Woodward, was the son of Christopher Woodward who arrived in Virginia in 1620. He was listed as dead in Martin's Hundred but a year later he was named in the Muster at West & Shirley Hundred. He represented Westover in the General Assembly of 1629.
Before Sept. 14, 1660, Sarah had married John Sturdivant. In 1673 Sturdivant received permission from the county court to "entertain Indians" and was apparently an Indian trader in the employ of William Byrd I of Westover. William Byrd wrote, 29 Apr 1684 to Thomas Grendon in England that "old Sturdivant, his son, Milner, Shipy, Womacke & Hugh Cassell were killed by the Indians in their returne from the westward".
They had a son named Samuel Woodward and when Sarah remarried to John Sturdivant she had additional children. Her son Daniel Sturdivant administered his mother’s estate. Her son Matthew was born about 1672 in Charles City County, Virginia and he died about 1728 in Sussex County, Virginia. Her three other children were Anna, Llewellyn and Chichester. (Sarah Sturdivant)
3. ROBERT HALLOM, Jr. b. Henrico County, Virginia; d. England.
After his father's death, Robert was sent to England to live with his aunt Margaret, widow of Thomas Hallom, Sr. and her 2nd husband William Mason, apprenticed to his cousin Wood to learn the trade of a salter. He died without living heirs.
Margaret, widow of Thomas Hallom, and her husband William Mason and was apprenticed to learn the trade of salter. It appears that he never married and he left no heirs. His name is mentioned in land transactions conducted in Virginia, on his behalf, by his stepfather Daniel Llewellyn and his brother-in-law John Gundry. He is mentioned in the wills of his uncle William Hallom, dated August 2,1657. He is mentioned in the will of his step-father Daniel Llewellyn. He died some time before April 24, 1691, when John Gundry, son of John & Ann, conveys to William Randolph the 1/3 interest of his deceased uncle in the Turkey Island tract the family held.
The following information about Robert Hallom is from Genealogies of Virginia Families from the William and Mary College Quarterly. Vol. IV.
“These authoritative deeds say plainly that Robert Hallam had 3 children: Sarah, who married (1) Samuel Woodward and (2) John Sturdivant; Anne, who married John Gundry (or Grundy) and a son, ..
Letters and receipts found in the one remaining record book of Charles City County, VA and published… show that ROBERT HALLOM came from Essex, England leaving there (1) a brother William Hallam; (2) a brother Thomas Hallam who died about 1656, leaving a widow Margaret who married (2nd) William Mason and a son Thomas Hallam; and (3) a sister Anne who married a Mr. Wood who was a tailor. They further show that about 1657 this son Thomas came to Virginia in the Adventurer, Mr. Young, captain, bringing powers of attorney under which he made settlements with and gave receipts to Mr. Daniel Llewellin for the indebtednesses and tobacco concerning which the correspondence had been with Mr. Llewellin.
These papers further show that Robert Hallam, a son of Robert Hallom, deceased went to England and was there apprenticed to Mr. Wood, the husband of his aunt Anne where he probably died….It is interesting to note that one of these receipts had James Crews as a witness.”
The Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Vol. IV, p 300 records a little about Sarah, her husband Samuel Woodward and their son Samuel who went on to be known as Captain Woodward.
"Samuel Woodward, son of Christopher Woodward of Charles City County, Virginia, died in 1680. He was prominent in Virginia and wealthy, wning a large part of Turkey Island. He married Mrs. Sarah (Hallam) Sturdivant, a daughter of Robert Hallam of James City County, Virginia. Samuel Woodward, son of Samuel and Sarah (Hallam) (Sturdivant) Woodward was born in Virginia and removed to Boston, Massachusetts. In the county records there is a deed, dated 1705, from this Samuel Woodward, conveying to William Randolph a one-third interest in one thousand acres of land on Turkey Island. He had inherited Turkey Island from his mother. there is a record of his removal to Massachusetts at which time he left a power of attorney for the sale of his property in Virginia. Subsequently he removed from Massachusetts to North Carolina where he became a large land owner. He was known as Captain Woodward. (Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Vol. IV, p. 300)
Daniel Llewellyn was Ann’s third husband.
After the death of Robert Hallom, Ann married DANIEL LLEWELLYN about 1640-1641 in Charles City County, Virginia. He was born (an estimate) about 1600 in Chelmsford, Essex, England and died before March 11, 1640-41 in Chelmsford. The US and International Marriage Records 1560-1900 record their marriage:
"Ann Price Hallom, born England 1604 married Danile Llewellyn, born England. They were married in Virginia."
"In XIII VA Mag, 53-5 as well as in a note to these letters and receipts we find that Daniel Llewellin came to Virginia from Chelmsford, Essex, England and settled near Shirley in Charles City County. He seems to have been a headright of Captain William Perry to whose son and heir Henry Perry 2000 acres known by the name of Buckland in Charles City County was granted 18 December 1637 (Nugent, 1934, p. 78)
To Daniel Llewellin, gent. there was granted 27 Oct 1642 856 acres, the Northermost part beginning above Mrs. Heyman, N on upper branches of Turkey island Creek and S. on the head of Mr. Aston's land, the Southernmost part extending on Mr. Aston and W upon Joseph Royall's grant of 20 Aug 1642, between Dockman's Creek and Shirley Hundred for transporting 17 persons, 2 of whom were ROBERT HALLOME and FRANCES HALLOME. Later he received several other grants in the same neighborhood. He became a Justice of the Peace for Charles City, a captain of militia, a member of the House of Burgesses for Henrico County at the sessions of March 1642-3 and October 1644 and for Charles city County at the sessions of October 1646, November 1652, March 1655 and December 1656.
Daniel Llewellin left a will dated 6 Feb. 1663-4 and proved 11 march 1663-4 in Chelmsford, Essex, England in which he styled himself a planter..." (Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Vol. IV, p. 300)
After Ann married Daniel Llewellyn, he undertook the management of the Virginia interests of the Halloms still in England which produced a considerable correspondence and is recorded in the court records of Charles City County. He died while in England on business and left a will which was proven in England. It names Ann and the three children they had together. Their children were Martha Llewellyn, b. c. 1640 in Virginia, married Rev. Richard Jones; Margaret Llewellyn, b. c. 1645 in Virginia, married James Cruse and Daniel II Llewellyn, born 1687 in Charles City County, Virginia and married Jane Stith, daughter of John Stith and his wife Jane Mosby Stith. Of these only Margaret was probably not Anne’s daughter, suggesting that Daniel Llewellyn had been married before.
“Daniel Llewellyn, Jr. was born June 1647 in Charles City County, Virginia and died c. 1710. He married Jane Stith, the daughter of Colonel John Stith. He rose to the rank of captain in the militia and served as a justice 1677-1697.
Daniel patented on March 10, 1655, 636 acres, 270 acres being part there of beginning on the land of Shirley Hundred, commonly known by the name of Rich Level. He held land in Charles City County near the land of Richard Jones and Robert Jones. He married Jane Stith, the daughter of Colonel John Stith.
Daniel Llewellyn’s will was filed in January, 1710/11. It left his plantation to his grandson, Llewellyn Eppes and then to his cousin, (nephew) Richard Jones, the son of Richard Jones. This was Captain Richard Jones, son of Daniel’s sister, Martha, and Richard Jones. Llewellyn Eppes was the son of Daniel’s daughter and her husband Littlebury Eppes.” (Captain Daniel Llewellyn, Jr.)
As has been stated before, there is little proof that the maiden name of Ann Price Hallom Llewellyn was Baker, however the following notation, published on Jones of Fleet Bay – Harris Ancestors suggests there was a John Baker in the area.
“ The association of the Jones family with that of Luellin is perhaps explained by the almost certain origin of Sergeant John Harris being St. Olave's, Southwark, also the home of the Newsum, Spencer, and Sheppard families of Virginia, and of associated families heretofore given, which suggests that the family of John Jones, the rector of St. Nicholas Acons, may have had blood kin of this parish, as well as ...
Capt. Daniel Luellin was granted 636 acs. in Chas. City Co., on March 10, 1655, 'on the head of Sherly hundred, commonly known by the name of Rich Levell, E. upon land of Mr. Walter Aston, & N. upon his own land; & 200 acs. in or near Shirly hundred, which was in possession of Edward Gardner, dec'd., N. upon 40 acs. of land purchased of Edward Madison, & S. upon land lately belonging to Sergeant John Harris; 63 acs. in Sherly hundred, beg. at land of sd. Luellins ... next towards Sherly hundred maine. 270 acs. by patent dated 26 Oct. 1650; 200 acs. by patent 11 July 1653; 63 acs. purchased of Dorothy Baker, the relict of John Baker (Barker, relative of William Barker, aforementioned); 63 acs. purchased of Michael Turpin ... (Nugent, C&P, vol. 1, p. 317).” (The Ancestry of Robert Jones of Fleet's Bay)
The Last Will and Testament of Daniel Llewellyn was made while he was a resident of Chelmsford, County Essex, England.
The will of Daniel Llewellin
6 Feb 1663 proved 11 March 1663-4 in Chelmsford, Essex, England

The will names only three children: Daniel, Martha Jones, and Margaret Cruse.
Mrs. Martha Jones, the wife of Robert Jones, was mentioned as executrix of Robert Hughes, on April 7, 1677. The Va. Historical Mag. gives an abstract of the Will of Daniel Lluellen, of Chelmsford, Essex, planter, dated February 6, 1663, in which his daughter is named as Martha Jones, and James Jauncey is named an executor (Va. Historical Mag., July, p. 53, 1905). (Martha Jones)
