Julie, Just received permission from Julia Cheatwood Block (a descendant of
Madison Cheatwood, b 1817 Franklin Co, VA), to post her discovery of the
source of Mrs. Becker's statement about Matthias Cheatwood/Chitwood at age
14, mentioned in Jean Tombaugh's book. Carolyn

In one of the first messages you sent me you wrote:
According to Jean Tombaugh in her 1965 book, CHITWOOD FAMILY (AND RELATED
LINES), p. 17: "Through Mrs. Cecile Buford Becker of San Pedro, California,
it was learned that 'In 1695 Matthias was living with Mrs. Elizabeth Banks,
Northunberland Co., Va. - his age being given as fourteen. Certificate was
given to George Espridge and assigend to Mrs. Banks for 450 acres of land
for transporting nine persons from England, including Matthew, or Matthias
Chitwood'." No one seems to be able to verify this, or find evidence to
back up the statement by Mrs. Becker...
I just came back from the library and just from the first 2 little books I
looked at on Northumberland County I found some stuff on Matthias. These
first 2 items comes from the Records of Indentured Servants and of
Certificates for Land, Northumberland County, Virginia, 1650-1795 by W.
Preston Haynie: Item # 1005 on pg. 172 says "20 Aprill 1698---Matthias
Chetwood, servt to Mrs Elizabeth Banks, being brought to this Court to be
adjudged is by the Court adjudged to be fourteene yeares of age and ordered
he serve his said Master according to Law." And no, those aren't
typos...that's just the way it's written. Following it it says only "OB
1678-98,Part 2,815" which may be the number of the law on the books they're
referring to. Now the way I interpret this, it means he has to serve her
until he's 21, because all of the other cases on the pages around this one
lets the kid out at certain ages. The one just before him has to "serve his
said master nine years and noe longer." The one before that says six years
and on and on.
On page 218, item #1310 (the whole book goes by dates in order that they
happened) says "21 March 1705/06---Certificate is granted Capt George
Eskridge for four hundred and fifty acres of Land for the Importation of
nine persons into this Colony vizt "(And then it lists the nine...one of
whom is named Matthew Chettwood). Everything else on the pages around this
says 1705 so that's what it really should be I guess. Anyway this was long
after Matthias started serving Elizabeth Banks. Now the thing about it is
that Capt. George Eskridge was granted 1050 acres on the next item (#1311)
for the Importation of 21 persons and there are LOTS more, like on 22 Feb
1704 he got 2950 acres for 59 people, 21 Mar 1705/6 he was granted 1050
acres and then 300 acres for 21 persons and 6 persons (respectively) on the
same day. And his rank kept going up too. In 1721 he was a Capt, in 1724
he was a Major and in 1733 he was a Colonel. I'm going to have to check
this guy out more closely unless you know something about him...
That was a reference book I got that out of. In one of the books I've got
at home it says "Chetwood, Mathias. Lately app constable for Newman's Neck
and having departed out of this county, Sylvester Welsh is app in his place.
17 June 1714." So I guess that's what you were talking about when you said
he left the colonies for awhile?

How exciting to finally hear of source for that statement about Matthias at
age 14!!! Here are a few references that may help to figure all this out:
According to A HISTORY OF COLONIAL AMERICA, by Oliver Perry Chitwood, Ph.D.,
LLD, Profesor of History West Virginia University (1931), p. 413 - A
voluntary indentured servant came to America of his own accord and bound
himself out to serve an employer for a specified time in payment for
transportation and maintenance. The usual term for a voluntary servant was
from four to five years in Virginia. The contract was usually made in
England with the representative of the colonial employer or with a
shipmaster, who transferred his agreement to someone in the colonies .
Apprentices may also properly be classed with the voluntary indentured
servants. Many apprentices were boys who were bound to a master for a term
of years in order to learn a trade
From VIRGINIA GLEANINGS IN ENGLAND, Abstracts of English Wills &
Admininstrations Relating to Virginia and Virginians, by Lothrop Withington,
1980, p. 66/7:
Thomas Mackie. 30 Apr 1719 merchant in Glasgow, who died in November
last .He appoints his executors to educate Robert Eskridge, son of Captain
George Eskridge of Virginia, at the grammar-school of Wood and where he now
is, and afterwards in university and other learning and to pay the expenses
of his education and board until he is sixteen years old, when he is to
receive L30 sterling and be sent back to his native country whence he was
brought under the defunct's care. But if his father wishes to recall him
before, then he is only to receive the L30 ..[Col. George Eskridge, of
'Sandy Point,' Westmoreland county, was a successful lawyer, and represented
his county in the House of Burgesses in 1706, 1714, 1720, 1722, 1723, 1726,
1727-8, 1730 and 1732. In his will dated October 27 and proved November 25,
1735, he names his son Robert. Colonel Eskridge was for a time guardian of
Mary Ball, the mother of George Washington, and it is probable that her
great son was named after him. Col. Eskridge has many descendants, but the
family genealogy gives no account of the son Robert, except that he is said
to have studied medicine abroad and that his wife was named Jane.]
If Geo Eskridge's son was born in VA, then bound to someone in England
while he attended school, then maybe Matthias was in same situation????.
Great work!!!!

Here are tombstones inscriptions in Northumberland Co, VA, of the two
husbands of Elizabeth Banks, dau of John Rogers. Notice in second one that
Thomas Banks served 7 years as an apprentice. Possibly our Matthias
Cheatwood was an merely an apprentice to Thomas Banks, and not an orphan at
all???
--------------------
FTM CD 174 Virginia Vital Records #1, 1600s-1800s, p. 417/8 - Early
Tombstones in Northumberland County:
On "Cypress Farm" at the head of Garner's creek, near the site of the early
Keene residence, two heavy slabs are to be seen, one of them partly
overgrown by a large persimmon tree. One of them has this inscription:
Here lyeth the body of William Keene, the Eldest Son of Thomas and Mary
Keene Born in Kent in Maryland the 10th day of march anno Dom. 1642, Who
marryed Eliz'a, the Daughter of John Rogers Gent. And Ellin his Wife of
Northumberland Co. in Virginia by Whome he had two Sons and Four daughters
and dyed ye 8 day of Feb. 1684 in ye two and Fortieth year of his Age.
The other tomb, lying near by the above, shows lettering remarkably clear
and distinct, as follows: HERE LYETH THE BODY OF THOMAS BANKS GENT. THE ONY
SON OF THOMAS BANKS, GENT AND DORATHY HIS WIFE WAS BORNE AT WOODSTOCK
WILTSHIRE ON ST. GILEIS DAY. ANNO DOM. 1642 AND SERVED Seven Years an
Apprentice to Mr. Wallistone Mercht. In Southampton. And after came into
Verginia, where he married three Wives the last he tooke to Wife Eliz'a the
Relict of William Keene, dec'd, daughter of John Rogers Gent. And Ellin his
Wife of Northumberland County in Verginia. Was marryed the 8 day of
december 1687 and dyed the 20 of September. Anno Dom. 1697 In the 56 Year of
his age. As also these two Versers. As I in Sorrow for thee have been
distrest. If God Permit Me Lye by thee to rest.
[footnote at bottom of p. 418: "Mrs. Elizabeth Banks, after enduring two
widowhoods, died in 1722 (will probated March 15, 1722). Her sons by Wm.
Keene were William and John. Her daughter Hannah married Col. John Bushrod,
of Bushfield, in Westmoreland. Elizabeth married Lee. Another daughter
married Samuel Samford, and the fourth daughter married John Woodbridge.
Her father, Major John Rogers, was an early settler in Northumberland, and
long served as one of the justices. A small creek tributary toHull's creek
is still known by the name of Rogers, the plantation and home of the early
justice having been on its banks. It seems very probable that Elizabeth
Keene was the wife of Charles Lee, youngest son of the immigrant Richard
Lee."]

Julie,
Have not heard from Julia Block since Thursday when she was on her way to
library (assume in VA) to go on tour of the Genealogy section. Did ask if I
could post her new information, but no response from her yet. The
information above is from Family Tree Maker CD #174. All is well here, hope
all is well with you, too.
Carolyn
