Note
|
John Stodgell signed a voluntary indenture to James Hurd who brought him from St. Stokes parish of Somerset County England in 1650. John was granted 100a of land on the completion of his seven year indenture. James Hurd was granted 1000a under the "headright" program for paying for the transport of 10 men to Virginia. John first appeared on the tax records of Essex county in 1659 so it appears that he probably married and established his own home by that time. The records of the North Pemberton Parish of Somerset County, England show that a <b>John Stodgell</b>, son of Richard Stodgell, was christained there in 1615. He was probably the progenitor of the Sturgill family in America, but this is not proven. The first appearance of the name in America is in the record of an inquest held in Jamestown VA in 1636 when William Stodgel was found dead. the town buried him as he had no known relatives, so we know he was not a direct ancestor even though he may have been the first of the family to come to America. ** Piscataway creek empties into the Rappahonnock River not the Potomac. -pg 29 |
