Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Does anyone have information on William Colclough who went before the Privy Council in 1622 for setting up a glass house in Br(o)adfield, Staffordshire? I am also interested in contacting any Colclough descendants of his. Thank you.

Hello folks,
In case you haven't discovered it yet, and for those of you who have felt the frustrations of trying to search the list archives, and having to have a password, here's some good news! No more passwords!
On the main page of RootsWeb, below where it says Mailing Lists, there is listed a Threaded Archives Search. Click on this link and it will take you to a page where you can type in the surname of the list you want to look at. Or you also have the option of choosing a letter, and looking for the list you want that way. And no passwords are needed! This is a great move on RootsWeb's part.
Now don't do what one person did that I know, she was typing in hersurname-L, and it came up with nothing. I told her, and will tell you all in case you don't know, do not type anything but the surname. It was coming up empty because it thought she was looking for a name spelled hersurname-L. Well we both got a chuckle out of it anyway.
Happy hunting!

Hi Listers,

Just to answer your question about the "Beheathland" (and various spellings)
I just happened to find that in 1766 it came from the FOOTE family -
Bahethelon Foote - married in Fauquier County 11 Dec 1766. I believe, too,
that I have seen it in another family who preceded my Beheathland - I have
her "x" with her name written in on a land deal.
<snip>--------------
I suspected a Gilson or Dade connection, since they are in proximity by
date, area, and area of my database. I think Jean is referring to the
daughter (?) of George Foote and Frances Berryman. At least thats what I
find on the internet that matches.
Here is what I have to do to make a connection to Robert Beheathland:
Robert Beheathland married unknown unknown and had children; Mary, Dorothy,
a son, and maybe others.
The daughter Mary Beheathland married Thomas Bernard and had daughter
Beheathland Bernard.
Beheathland Bernard m1. Francis Dade, and m2. Andrew Gilson. By Gilson they
had daughter -
Beheathland Gilson, who m. Nehemiah Storke, and had daughter Elizabeth
Storke.
Elizabeth Storke m. Thomas Newton, who was the son of John Newton and Rose
unknown.
It was this John Newton, who by a previous wife, gave rise to my Colcloughs.
So my question remains, why would my Colclough (William) name his daughter
Beheathland? In honor of his wife's granduncle's wife's family? I doubt it.
And I suspect a more direct line if we could figure out the
Stribling-Colclough connection. Does anyone believe that listmom's Hester
could NOT be Beheathland? Of course I am only conjecturing that she is. In
any case, It would be nice to see "my" Beheathland (though not my direct
line) have a Robert Beheathland descendancy.
Then I found this here: http://www.spingola.com/TaliaferroTimes/TT24.htm

COLONIAL TALIAFERROS
We recently demonstrated that the neighborhood of Robert and Katherine
Taliaferro in Gloucester VA began in England, and crossed the ocean to
Virginia, creating an alliance among the Bernard, Corderoy, Gray,
Ironmonger, Lanier, and Taliaferro families.
We also had an earlier discussion, before we knew about this alliance, about
the origin of the name "Beheathland" and noted that it found it's way into
the Taliaferro family through Capt. Richard Taliaferro and Rose Berryman.
Rose Berryman, of Westmoreland County VA, was a descendant of the
Beheathland family of Jamestown.
Here, however, is an even earlier tie to the Beheathland family of
Jamestown, VA. This is very abbreviated information about the Bernard
family, neighbors of the Gloucester Taliaferro family. It was submitted by
an off line contributor. I hope we can enlarge this pedigree. To review the
discussion of the origin of 'Beheathland,' see Issues 7 and 19. Here, folks,
is reason to speculate that the origin of the name "Beheathland' may also
have been through the Taliaferro family history. Might it also explain the
origin of the name 'Richard?'

Below is information excerpted from "Virginia Gleanings in England," Lothrop
Witherington, The Genealogical Publishing Company, 1980.
WILL OF
John Beheathland. Will undated: proved 22 October 1639. About to go to my
mother in Virginia, hand having some small means coming to me from my
grandfather Mr. Richard Beheathland deceased, do leave all unto Charles
Beheathland, my kinsman, being my guardian. Witnesses: Pollider Pen, Samuell
Eslake, Thomas Voylet. Administration to Charles Beheathland, sold legatee
named. [Harvey, 157]
[This unusual surname was represented in Virginia at the time of the first
settlement. Robert Beheathland, gentleman, came in the first ship which
landed at Jamestown in 1607. During the period 1607-1609 his name appears
frequently in 'Smith' as taking an active part in the affairs of the colony.
In 1620 a petition was presented to the Royal Council for Virginia by many
of the first personal adventurers and planters (who were ready to return if
a favorable response was made) asking that some person of distinction be
appointed Governor of Virginia to succeed Lord Delaware. among the signers
was Captain Robert Beheathland.
In 1655 there was recorded a deed from Major John Smith and Beheathland his
wife. John Smith was, as the records show, the assumed name of Francis Dade,
who before his death took again his own name. No reason for this disguise
has ever been discovered. Mrs. Behethland Dade married, secondly, Major
Andrew Gilson and has many descendants by each marriage.]
<snip>------
I don't have information on Rose Berryman like this. Somebody out the in
Colcloughland must have this link from a Rose Berryman to the Beheathland
family. Also, I sure would like to have a descendants list for Rose Barryman
and this Taliaferro chap. Is it possible that this is the Rose that married
Newton, Tucker, and Gerrard? If so, then that would make a close
cousin-marriage there in the Berrymans. You can see my need to get these
people straight, I think.
More later, most likely :)
Cheers,
Gregg
Hi Listers (and welcome new list mother :) ),
I have seen several occasions of Hester being the nickname for something or
another. In this case (family), I have seen it used as a nickname for
"Beheathland" or "Behethland". Others include Heathy and Beth. I am sure
there are lots more than this.
I have seen Joel Stribling I know it, but in a once-over of my main
database, I can not find him. I will get to you when I unearth him.
This brings me to a question I have been meaning to ask all you guys and
gals for some time. I am sure many of you have seen multiple occurences of
the given name "Beheathland" in the Colclough line, and also in collateral
lines. I remember seeing something about how there are two lines (of
something) and one line carried that name as a female name (this line), and
the other carried it as a male name.
My question is this:
Where did this name come from? I realize that there is a famous Beheathland
(as surname) in early American history, however, I can find no genealogical
link between the Colcloughs (and/or collateral lines) and the Beheathlands.
Does such a link exist? Or were these names derived just from popularity,
much the way one might (in later times) name his child Thomas Jefferson
Colclough?
Cheers,
Gregg
I just adopted the Colclough list and boards. After having gone to subscribe to the list, and seeing it was up for adoption, I decided to give it a whirl. My name is Deah, and I'm glad to be here. I also have the Chisham and Amphlett lists.
I don't know how active the list has been, but I do know in just the last couple of days we have a couple of new subscribers. Welcome to you all.
From what I have gotten so far, my 5x gr grandfather was Colclough Stribling. His mother I believe to have been Hester Colclough. I believe she married Joel Stribling in the early 1700's in Virginia.
Is Hester familiar to anyone on the list? I'm really lost with her. Would also be interested in hearing any history on the Colclough family and it's origins.

If you connect with this I would like to hear from you.
