Spouses (possible): (The following records regarding spouses is taken from Rochdale, Lancashire, England records at:  http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/  of marriages to men named John Hallowes.  These are not confirmed as belonging to our John Hallowes the carpenter – but it is possible.  If John Hallowes carpenter is the father of Maj. John Hallowes b. abt 1612-15, then these records are from the location where Maj. John Hallowes was likely born – so are possible spouses of John Hallowes carpenter).

(Documents showing John Hollis the carpenter died in 1643, so his wife would be a “widow”.  Possible that his wife Ann would have remarried to one of the Youll family by 1656)

FACTS Intro:

Two men closely situated named John Hollis / John Hallowes in Maryland / Virginia  (John Hollis the carpenter, and John Hollis the planter (aka Maj. John Hollis):  

Assuming John Hallowes the carpenter is the father of Maj. John Hallowes b. abt 1612 to 1615, then he was likely born around 1586/87. (84) and (85).  There are two baptisms of men in Rochdale, Lancaster, England named John Hallowes about this time period that could possibly fit this John Hallowes the carpenter – both are baptized in 1586/87.    It is possible these are duplicate records of the same person, with one or the other date being misread or mistranscribed.  It is also possible there were two John Hallowes born in the county at that time, and that one of these men is John Hallowes the carpenter.

John Hallowes the carpenter arrived in the Americas about the same time as Maj. John Hallowes b. abt 1612-15 (Likely aboard the Ark and the Dove as Maj. John Hallowes had done).  They may have arrived on separate boats, but both appear in records from 1638-1643.  Their names are identical, so some records that have been attributed to Maj. John Hallowes b. 1612-15 may actually belong to John Hallowes carpenter (Note:  For those records, where it is unclear which John Hallowes it belongs to, they are listed under both people).

There are several entries regarding John Hallowes arriving in Maryland and Virginia at different times.  These appear to be the Hollowes/Hollis families moving back and forth from Virginia to Maryland – as moving from one to the other is leaving one colony, and joining the other. (108).

John Hallowes the carpenter is noted as being deceased in 1643. (80).  Maj. John Hallowes b. 1612-15 continues to be noted in documents in Maryland and Virginia until 1657.  This notation of the death of John Hallowes carpenter in 1643 confirms the identity of two John Hallowes who were traveling to and from St Marys, Maryland and the Northern Neck of Virginia.

On at least two occasions, John Hallowes the carpenter and John Hallowes are listed as giving their proxy to the same person to represent their interests, and listed side by side in one of the two Maryland Assembly votes or votes by proxy during assembly meetings.  This shows who the two different John Hallowes were (one referred to as “the carpenter”).  These lists were not in alphabetical order, since they were listed side by side, that they were likely related to each other. (7) and (32).

Tax records also verify there were at least two John Hallowes in St. Mary’s until 1643. (3), (43), and (46).  All three tax records have the two, John Hallowes and John Hallowes the carpenter, listed side by side with a different tax amount assessed to each person.  The lists were not in alphabetical order.  The side by side listing indicates they likely filed at the same time, or were living next to each other.

The land transactions in 1638, 1640, and 1650 involving Richard Bennett are related to John Hollis the carpenter b. 1586/87.  In the 1650 transaction, Richard Bennett indicates that John Hollis is dead (in 1650), and that Richard Bennett is the greatest creditor of John Hollis (the carpenter), so Richard Bennett should receive the 100acres that John Hollis is due for one of the times he transported himself to Virginia. (5a).

John Hollis the carpenter dies in 1643:

John Hallowes “the carpenter” dies some time in 1643.   On December 1, 1643, “John Hilierd complaineth of injury done him by John Hollis late of Virginea carpr deceased”. (80).

A later entry, on the same day, Dec 1, 1643, Rich. Wright, executor of Jo. Robinson carp, deceased, is making demands of John Hollis for amounts due to John Robinson’s estate, and John Hollis gives testimony under oath to the court that he “saeth upon oath that he oweth no part of it.” (80). This John Hollis is clearly alive, giving testimony, so is likely Maj. John Hallowes b. 1612-15.

After the December 1, 1643 entry, there are no other other documents found that refer to “John Hallowes carpenter” in either Maryland or Virginia.  This supports that John Hallowes carpenter was indeed deceased by December 1, 1643.  Maj. John Hallowes b. 1612-15 continues living in Maryland and northern Virginia until his death in 1657.

Votes by Proxy:  Maryland’s Archive records show there to be two John Hallowes on several occasions.  March 21, 1641/42 (7), a record of an “Assembly Proceeding” shows the assembly is presented with a petition regarding Thomas Gerrard taking the Key of the Chapel and carrying away the books.   Thomas Morris has appeared for this Assembly Proceeding and has exhibited his proxy to speak/vote on behalf of 11 other people besides himself.  Included in his proxies are a proxy for a) John Hallowes, and b) John Hallowes carpenter – showing two different John Hallowes.   September 5, 1642, during the Assembly, Capt. Cornwaleys has the proxies to appear on behalf of 9 people, including John Hollis planter, and John Hollis carp. (32).

Tax Assessments:  On November 25, 1642, taxes are assessed to pay John Hollis and Henry Hooper.   John Hollies is assessed 5 lbs of tobacco, and John Hollis carp is assessed 5 lbs of tobaco. (43).  Another assessment of taxes is done in December of 1642 to pay for an expedition. John Hollis is assessed 20 lbs of tobacco, and John Hollis carpr is assessed another 20 lbs of tobacco in St Maries County, Maryland. (46).  On August 2, 1642, a tax assessment is done.  The assessment requires John Hallowes to pay 69 lbs of tobacco, and it requires John Hallowes carp to pay 23 lbs of tobacco. (26).

Court Cases:  January 11, 1642 John Hallowes (the future Maj. John Hallowes) is acting as attorney for a Jo. Weyvill to collect on a debt owed by John Norman. John Hollis carpenter had acquired this debt for building John Norman a house. John Hollis carpenter assigned this debt to Mr. Weyvill, likely as payment of some other debt, and Mr. Weyvill then hired Maj. John Hallowes to act as his attorney in collecting the debt. (8).

November 29, 1642 in St. Marys, Maryland, John Hollis carpenter demands that Robert Nicolls pay a bill that is due for transporting tobacco from Maryland to Virginia. On the same day, John Hollis (appears to be the future Maj. John Hollis) makes a complaint against Francis Gray and James Linsir – Pursall’s man, for killing John Hollis’ marked swine. (45).

December 1, 1643 in St Marys, Maryland, Margaret Brent makes a demand for nonperformance from John Hallowes and Francis Gray as executor of James Cauther. (80).

The next entry on December 1, 1643 is that of John Hilierd filing a complaint against the estate of John Hollis carpenter deceased, for money owed to John Hilierd relating to business with John Thatcher in Virginia. (80).

Two entries down from that, Richard Wright, executor of John Robinson’s estate, makes a demand of John Hollis for money owed. John Hollis gives the court testimony, and admits to the court owing part of the debt, but denies that he owes any part of the debt related to a barrell of corne. (80).  This John Hollis is obviously not the deceased John Hollis carpenter.  This must be Maj. John Hollis b. 1612-1615.

John Hollis the carpenter who dies in 1643 appears to have been married to Ann Youll: 

Ann Youll widow and Youll family (Yewell, Yowill, Yowell, Youle):  On October 4 or 20, 1656, Ann Youll, widow to Mr. John Hallowes is noted in Westmoreland County, Virginia, to need to appear in the next court. (82 and 83).  Since she is going by the last name “Youll”, this indicates she likely has remarried to a man named Youll.

Major John Hallowes does not die for another year (some time in 1657) and his widow is then Elizabeth (the belief is “Tew” is her maiden name) who goes on to marry David Anderson after Maj. John Hallowes death.  Ann Youll is a widow for another John Hallowes.  The Youll family travelled with John Hallowes on more than one occassion on the same boat back and forth from Maryland to Virginia (indicated in land grants – see Maj. John Hallowes’ page).   Maj. John Hallowes son, John Hallowes Jr, is likely too young to be married and have died at this point.  The oldest John Hallowes Jr. could be is 16 or 17 based on when Maj. John Hallowes and Restitute Tew married in 1639.

There appears to be a relationship between the Youll family, and Maj. John Hallowes.  February 1, 1642 the Sheriff held a grand Enquest. Included and sworn in among those attending were Thomas Yewell (Youll) and Mr. Hollis who were part of the Enquest.  The issue was regarding a John Elkin planter, John Robinson barber, and Miles Ricards servant of John Robinson who were together when John Elkin “seduced and moved by the instigation of the divell, of malice forethought, feloniously and wickedly, with force and armes, an assault did make . . . did shoote off and discharge at or upon the said Indian (called the King of Yowocomoco), and therewith unto the said Indian, one mortall wound, in the throat of the said Indian . . . said Indian King . . . said John Elkin did feloniously kill . . . ” (See Maj. John Hallowes page for documentation).  This appears to be an important legal case for that time, as jury decisions were held in high regard.  The jury, despite Elkins’ confession, found him not guilty because of the Indian King’s status as a pagan.  The Governer/court did not like the jury’s decision, admonished them that the Indian King was visiting “within the king’s peace”, and sent them back for another decision.  The jury came back and found that Elkin was “guilty of murder in his own defense”.  Again, this was not accepted by the Governer, who said the decision “implied a contradiction”.  He then discharged the jury, and impanelled a new jury that came back with a verdict of “manslaughter in his own defense”.   The attorney general then prayed that the first jury be “grievously fined”. The court fined George Pye two thousand pounds of tobacco. The attorney then filed an information against Pye for contempt for having reproached the whole court “in an insolent manner” for saying “if an Englishman had beene killed by the Indians there would not have beens so much words made of it.” The court then fined him another 1000 pounds of tobacco for his contempt.

November 25, 1642 John Hollis, John Hollis carpr, and Thomas Yewell (Youll) are in St. Maries, Maryland, and participate in the Proceedings of the Council of Maryland in the levying of a tobacco tax to pay John Hollis and Henry Hooper. (43).

January 30, 1650 John Hollowes, Gent, receives 1600 acres in Northumberland Co, Virginia for transporting 32 people into the colony. Names of those he transported include John Hollowes, John Tao (Tew), Thomas Yowill (Youll), Tho. Yowill Junr (Youll), Ann Yowill, Jr (Youll), Wm. Yowill (Youll), Restitute Hollowes, Junr, and Restitute Hollowes.  (See Maj. John Hallowes page for documentation).

Sept 6, 1654, Thomas Youle, Ann Yowell Sr, Ann Yowell Jr, another Thomas Yowell, and a William Yowell along with John Hallows, Restitute Hollis, Sr, Restitute Hollis, Jr, and John Tue are all transported by Thomas Hobkins into Lancaster Co, Va – likely coming back from Maryland, or possibly coming back from a trip to England – as they all had already been in Virginia previously. (See Maj. John Hallowes page for documentation).

Ann Youll appears to be the widow of John Hallowes carpenter.   If this is the case, and if John Hallowes carpenter is Maj. John Hallowes father, then Ann Youll is likely Maj. John Hallowes’ mother or step-mother who has remarried to a man named Youll.

Parent(s) of Maj. John Hollis b. btw. 1608-1615:

John Hallowes carpenter as parent of Maj. John Hallowes:  There are several John Hallowes born in Rochdale, Lancashire, England between 1608 and 1615.  The following is a list of baptisms listed there:

a) Nov 6, 1608 John Hallawes was baptized with Edwardi Hallawes as father. 
b) Jan 29, 1608/09 Jonathan Hallawes was baptized with John Hallawes as father.
c) Jun 4, 1609 a Samuel Hallawes was baptized with Charles Hallawes listed as father (I have included this birth because of the documented history of Maj. John Hallowes having his oldest sibling named “Samuel Hallowes”. It is possible that Charles Hallawes also had a child named John about this time period, but the record for the Baptism is missing or unreadable.
d) April 14, 1611 a John Hallowes was baptized with Richard Hallowes listed as father
e) March 12, 1612/13 a Samuel Hallowes is baptized with Richard Hallowes listed as father
f) Jul 19, 1612 a John Hallawes is baptized with a Johis (or John) Hallawes listed as father. (Johis was a Latin spelling of John meaning “John, son of John”. You will see many given names with an “i” at the end of it, or an “is”, or “es” that look like “Jacobi”, and “Henrici”, etc).
g) Mar 27, 1614 a John Hallawes is baptized with a Michaell Hallawes listed as father.
h) Dec 31, 1615 a John Hallawes is baptized with a Henrici Hallawes listed as father. (12).

Previous researchers have listed a Henry Hallowes as the father of Maj. John Hallowes.  The records indicate that Maj. John Hallowes states his age on at least 2 different occasions.  Both depositions state his age as “or thereabouts” and based on the answers give his “thereabouts” age as having been born somewhere between 1612 to 1615.  It is possible he was even 4-5 years older than that (as ages were often not accurate in their reporting for one reason or another), and that is why there is a need to include those John Hallowes who were born in Rochdale, Lancashire, England from 1608 to 1615.

John Hallowes carpenter is in Maryland records with Maj. John Hallowes from 1641-1643.   There are several options for father of Maj. John Hallowes in Rochdale, Lancashire, England.  Among them are John Hallowes who has a child baptized in 1612 named John Hallowes.   Another option is Richard Hallowes who has a son John Hallowes baptized on April 14, 1611, and then has another son Samuel Hallowes who is baptized on March 12, 1612/13.  We know from the lawsuit involving John Hallowes’ 2400 acres in Virginia that his oldest brother’s name was Samuel Hallowes.  It does not say that Samuel was older than John, only that Samuel was his oldest sibling heir (according to his grandson Samuel Hallowes who was bringing the lawsuit for the land).  John could have been the oldest, and Samuel the next oldest.

There are also John Hallowes baptized during this time period with fathers named Edward on Nov 6, 1608, Charles on June 4, 1609, Michael on March 27, 1614, and Henrici (Henry) on Dec 31, 1615.

I have not seen the reason other researchers have chosen Henry as the most likely father, but will update if I see any reason.  For now, it appears John Hallowes carpenter is the most likely father for Maj. John Hallowes, with Richard Hallowes being the next choice to inquire into.

Summary:

John Hallowes carpenter and Maj. John Hallowes are related in some fashion.  In assembly proceedings, they give their proxies to the same person and are listed side by side.  Similarly, when taxed, they are listed directly next to eachother.  Even in the court cases, Maj. John Hallowes appears to act as attorney for a debt owed to John Hallowes carpenter that he has assigned to John Weyvill.

John Hallowes carpenter is too old to be the son of Maj. John Hallowes b. 1613-1616, as he shows up in land records in Virginia with Richard Bennett in 1638, and in the Maryland Assembly Proceedings in March of 1641 – meaning he is an adult, considered to be at least 21 years of age – meaning he was born 1615 or before – which means he is at least the same age as Maj. John Hallowes.

It is not clear what John Hallowes the carpenter and Maj. John Hallowes relationship is.   It is unlikely they are brothers – with the same given name.   John Hallowes the carpenter is too old to be Maj. John Hallowes son.   We have no evidence of John Hallowes the carpenter’s age based on documents found so far.  This leaves the choices as either father, uncle, or cousin.   The best guess at this time (with information reviewed) is that John Hallowes the carpenter is the father of Maj. John Hallowes.  New information may lead to a more definite answer in the future.

(Note:  JOHN HALLOWES WIDOW identified as ANN YOULL – Major John Hollowes does not die for another year (1657).  Major John Hallowes’ was born between 1613-1616 – meaning any son he had would not have been born until 1621-25 at the earliest.  BUT, John Hallowes did not arrive in Maryland until 1633, and did not get married until 1639.  Likely 1640 would be the earliest his son – John Hallowes Jr – would have been born.  It is unlikely he would have been married, and produced a widow at the age of 16 – but possible.  More likely is that Ann Youll was John Hallowes the carpenter’s wife)
