Keith family info

(Note: This page is a sort of “data-dump” of all the early Keith/Keiff/Keeth names I’ve come across that I decided to document.  I have a few sources I placed here in the 1800s for my own research – but most of the documentation is from the early 1600s through 1700s.  The only order to the following is that I’ve tried to place it in chronological order).

Individual pages:

• 1685 Cornelius Keiffe or Keith b. abt 1685 of Stafford Co, Va m. Dianna Cockarill
• 1705 John Going Sr b. abt 1705 married to Mary Keith (Y2)

FACTS and SOURCES:

1617 Rev George Keith, or Keth, who Smith sytles “a Scotschman who professed scholarship,” was for a time a minister at Bermuda; but came to Virginia in 1617 in the ship “George.” In the census of 1624-25 his “Muster” includes himself, aged 40 years; James Whiting, aged 16, and John Keth, aged 11, all of whom came in the “George.” In 1626 Mr. Geo. Keith owned 100 acres, which was planted, at Elizabeth City. Mrs. Susan Keith was reported among the dead at James City in 1624. This was probbly a first wife of Rev George Keith.

1697 Sept – Sep. 1697 – Charles Co., Md. Court. Henry Norris vs. Thomas Barron, of Charles Co., planter. William Stone, atty. for Norris; William Dent, atty. for Barron. Norris alleged that he had posted bond for William Keete in the amount of 3000 pounds of tobacco, and to ensure that Norris was reimbursed on the bond, Keete assigned to Norris several debts owed to Keete, including a debt of 1204 pounds of tobacco that Thomas Barron owed to Keete. Norris further alleged that on June 10, 1696, Barron promised (apparently an oral promise) that he would pay Norris 800 pounds of tobacco (part of ye aforesaid sum of 1204 pounds of tobacco), but that Barron had not paid the 800 pounds of tobacco although Norris had requested that he do so.
Barron appeared at the Sep. 1697 court, and denied that he obligated himself to pay Norris the 800 pounds of tobacco. The parties then put on witnesses to support their positions [the names of the witnesses and the nature of their testimony is not given.] After hearing the evidence, the Court ordered that Norris recover from Barron the 800 pounds of tobacco sued for, plus 1029 pounds of tobacco for his costs and charges.
Source: Charles Co., Md. Court and Land Records, Liber V, pp. 251-2.
Comment: The reason the court costs were so high is that the losing party had to pay for the witnesses’ attendance at court.

Court Order Bk 1, p 241. Brunswick County, Virginia
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L9PH-CKH7?i=140&cat=274982
(Note: The headright system in Virginia allowed for 50 acres per person if they paid their own way to the Colony, and 50 acres for every person you paid to come to the Colony of Virginia. This system was used until 1779, but was used less often in the 1700s than in the 1600s)(Note Also: 5 people claim to have arrived from Great Britain, 2 from Ireland, and 3 people give no other country – implying they came from another Colony such as Maryland or North Carolina).
Library of Virginia – Headrights (Va-Notes).
https://www.lva.virginia.gov/public/guides/va4_headrights.htm

See:

1739 Mar 12 – Clement Reade, Gent., 913 acres, Brunswick Co., N. side of Sturgeon Run, by Davis and Briggs. For the Importation of 10 persons: John Stevens, John Scott, John Jackson, Cornelius Keith, Marmaduke Johnson, Michael Cadet Young, Henry Morris, William Eaton, Patrick Dempsey and Thomas Avent (Land Patent Book 18, p. 531-532). 12 Mar 1739. (NOTE – see notes below – Clement Reade DID NOT IMPORT these men in 1739. He purchased these mens’ headrights from them obviously). https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSLZ-BPV5?i=550&cat=584564 ;  https://www.ancestry.com/interactive/6131/VGS_1987_01_01_0227/517506275?backurl=&ssrc=&backlabel=Return&rc=366,2048,484,2081
(NOTE: COMPARE the names of the people that Clement Reade supposedly “imported” into the colony on March 12, 1739 to those who made claims for headrights on May 3, 1739 just below this entry):
1) John Stevens – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 6 years prior fr Great Britain & never recd headright.
2) John Scott – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 3 years prior fr Great Britain & never recd headright.
3) Cornelius Keith – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 30 years prior & never recd headright.
4) Marmaduke Johnson – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 20 years prior fr Ireland & never recd headright.
5) Michael Cadet Young – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 17 years prior fr Great Britain & never recd headright.
6) Henry Morris – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 21 years prior fr Great Britain & never recd headright.
7) William Eaton – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 20 years prior fr Great Britain & never recd headright.
8) Patrick Dempsey – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 18 years prior fr Ireland & never recd headright.
9) Thomas Avent – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 38 years prior & never recd headright.
(9 out of the 10 men that Clement Reade made his claim for importing in 1739 actually had been imported WELL BEFORE 1739. What obviously happened here is at least 9 of these 10 men SOLD their headright claim to Clement Reade – and they had to go to court to swear they had never received their headright previously).

1728 November 16, – Col. William Byrd visited with the Cornelius Keith family: on his return trip after surveying the dividing line between Virginia and North Carolina. Byrd gave a most bleak description of their living conditions in his “Histories of the Dividing Line betwixt Virginia and North Carolina.” …. “We gave orders that the horses should pass Roanoke river at Monisep ford, while most of the baggage was transported in a canoe. We landed at the plantation of Cornelius Keith, where I beheld the wretchedest scene of poverty I had ever met with in this happy part of the world. The man, his wife and six small children, lived in a pen, like so many cattle, without any roof over their heads but that of heaven. And this was their airy residence in the day time, but then there was a fodder stack not far from this inclosure, in which the whole family sheltered themselves at night and in bad weather. However, it was almost worth while to be as poor as this man was, to be as perfectly contented. All his wants proceeded from indolence, and not from misfortune. He had good land, as well as good health and good limbs to work it, and, besides, had a trade very useful to all the inhabitants round about. He could make and set up quern stones very well, and had proper materials for that purpose just at hand, if he could have taken the pains to fetch them. There is no other kind of mills in those remote parts, and, therefore, if the man would have worked at his trade, he might have lived very comfortably. The poor woman had a little more industry, and spun cotton enough to make a thin covering for her own and her children’s nakedness. I am sorry to say it, but idleness is the general character of the men in the southern parts of this colony as well as in North Carolina. The air is so mild, and the soil so fruitful, that very little labour is required to fill their bellies, especially where the woods afford such plenty of game. These advantages discharge the men from the necessity of killing themselves with work, and then for the other article of raiment, a very little of that will suffice in so temperate a climate. But so much as is absolutely necessary falls to the good women’s share to provide. They all spin, weave and knit, whereby they make a good shift to clothe the whole family; and to their credit be it recorded, many of them do it very completely, and thereby reproach their husbands’ laziness in the most inoffensive way, that is to say, by discovering a better spirit of industry in themselves….” See: https://docsouth.unc.edu/nc/byrd/byrd.html#p123

1739 Mar 12 – Clement Reade, Gent., 913 acres, Brunswick Co., N. side of Sturgeon Run, by Davis and Briggs. For the Importation of 10 persons: John Stevens, John Scott, John Jackson, Cornelius Keith, Marmaduke Johnson, Michael Cadet Young, Henry Morris, William Eaton, Patrick Dempsey and Thomas Avent (Land Patent Book 18, p. 531-532). 12 Mar 1739. (NOTE – see notes below – Clement Reade DID NOT IMPORT these men in 1739. He purchased these mens’ headrights from them obviously). https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSLZ-BPV5?i=550&cat=584564 ;   https://www.ancestry.com/interactive/6131/VGS_1987_01_01_0227/517506275?backurl=&ssrc=&backlabel=Return&rc=366,2048,484,2081
(NOTE: COMPARE the names of the people that Clement Reade supposedly “imported” into the colony on March 12, 1739 to those who made claims for headrights on May 3, 1739 just below this entry):
1) John Stevens – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 6 years prior fr Great Britain & never recd headright.
2) John Scott – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 3 years prior fr Great Britain & never recd headright.
3) Cornelius Keith – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 30 years prior & never recd headright.
4) Marmaduke Johnson – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 20 years prior fr Ireland & never recd headright.
5) Michael Cadet Young – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 17 years prior fr Great Britain & never recd headright.
6) Henry Morris – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 21 years prior fr Great Britain & never recd headright.
7) William Eaton – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 20 years prior fr Great Britain & never recd headright.
8) Patrick Dempsey – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 18 years prior fr Ireland & never recd headright.
9) Thomas Avent – May 3, 1739 certified arrived 38 years prior & never recd headright.
(9 out of the 10 men that Clement Reade made his claim for importing in 1739 actually had been imported WELL BEFORE 1739. What obviously happened here is at least 9 of these 10 men SOLD their headright claim to Clement Reade – and they had to go to court to swear they had never received their headright previously). See:

1739 May 3 – John Scott Gent came into Court and made oath that it is now 3 years since his importation from Great Britain and that he never before now has received the benefit of the Act of Assembly which allows 50 acres of land for every person imported from Great Britain afsd which is ordered to be certified.

(Note: The headright system in Virginia allowed for 50 acres per person if they paid their own way to the Colony, and 50 acres for every person you paid to come to the Colony of Virginia. This system was used until 1779, but was used less often in the 1700s than in the 1600s)(Note Also: 5 people claim to have arrived from Great Britain, 2 from Ireland, and 3 people give no other country – implying they came from another Colony such as Maryland or North Carolina).

Order Books 1753-1757 Prince William County, Va.

James KEITH (Rev.) was born about 1696/97 in Peterhead, Aberdeen, Scotland, the son of George Keith who was an uncle and tutor of the Earl Marischal and a professor at Marischal College in Aberdeen. He married Mary Isham RANDOLPH 2 Mar 1732/3 (this date is questionable) near Germantown, Virginia, Hamilton Parish, Prince William County (now Fauquier). Mary was born in 1718 (date also questionable) in Virginia, and died after August, 1772 in Leeds Parish, Fauquier County, Virginia. She was the daughter of Thomas (of Tuckahoe) RANDOLPH and Judith FLEMING. Some claim Parson Keith died December 10, 1752 but we have found no documentation.  (See:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Randolph_of_Tuckahoe  ).

James Keith’s will was proved June 25, 1753, Manassas Court House, Prince William County, Minute Book 1752-53, p 163, but Will Book with copy of will is now lost. He and his wife are buried under the chancel of the Old Elk Run Church, Fauquier County, Virginia (according to Baird).

Parson Keith was a divinity student at Marischal College, Aberdeen, Scotland. He fought for the Stuart cause in 1719, then with a price on his head, escaped to France, and finally emigrated to Virginia about 1727. He returned to England to be ordained a Priest by the Bishop of London and returned in 1729 as he was paid 20 pounds by royal bounty on March 21, 1729 for his passage to Virginia as a minister (see Virginia Colonial Records Project at Library of Virginia, on line). He became Rector of Henrico Parish, VA, prior to 1732, then rector of Hamilton Parish from 1745 till his death.

Mary Isham RANDOLPH, child of Thomas (of Tuckahoe) RANDOLPH and Judith FLEMING descends from two famous families, Isham and Randolph, among the first English settlers to arrive in Virginia. She is also the first cousin once removed of President Thomas Jefferson.

Mary is reported to have eloped with an Irishman, Enoch Arden, the slave overseer of her uncle Isham’s Dungeness plantation, “a dirty plebian, without any kind of merit” according to William Byrd. They were married and had a child. Her family discovered their hiding place on Elk Island in the James River, killed Arden and the baby and took Mary back to Tuckahoe, which “shattered Mary’s sanity.” The story is confirmed in the diary of Colonel William Byrd of Westover following his visit to Tuckahoe in September 1732.

Some years later after she had married Parson Keith, she received a letter supposedly from Arden, “triggering a final bout of insanity from which she never recovered.” Had the letter been valid, it would have meant her children with Parson Keith were illegitimate. The issue was never resolved. Mary lived her last years with her granddaughter Eliza Marshall (Mrs. Rawleigh Colston), the Chief Justice John Marshall’s eldest sister, and she corroborated the story for James Paxton for his book, The Marshall Family.  (For more information, see:  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/books/chap1/johnmarshall.htm?noredirect=on  ); (and see:  https://www.gutenberg.org/files/40388/40388-h/40388-h.htm  ).

– Item to my loveing wife for term of life this house wherein I now dwell with all the furniture, lands, tenements, stock, horses, cattle, hots, sheep, appurtenances …
– Item after wife’s death, to my son Levi SPencer
Mary Spencer widow of William Spencer decd and Levi Spencer during his minority did in the year of our lord 1791 – selll the afsd tract of land containing 550 acres … which land lies on Greasy Creek, to a certain Edmund Vancil who is now actually possessed of the same.
All of which actings and doings of the said Mary Spencer and Levi Spencer, your orator is advised, are contrary to equity and good conscience as the widow Mary Spencer was only tenant for life and the sd Levi Spencer was within age.
Your orator considering the illegallity of such a conveyance as to Levi Spencer, did in the year 1794 on the 2d day of Aug purchase the afsd land from the said Levi Spencer but after he attained his full age.

1787 Aug 29 (date of answer of John Lamont). John Keith v John Lamont & Isham Talbot
Answer of Isham Talbot (image 8)
1785 Aug 23 …some time before the year 1768 being assistant surveyer in Bedford County, and having the Book of Entries in his possession he found an entry in these words, John Brown enters 400 acres on both sides of Bore Auger Creek at the Foot of the Mountain at the head of the creek, thence down … John Brown … had sold this entry to John Keith for a Buckskin, but that it never was transferred. Keith was killed by the Indians and his widow married John Echols. The present John Keith was then very young.
When this respondent advertised to survey in those parts John Echols attended in behalf of John Keith. The said Keith having no legal guardian to survey said entry. This respondent informed Echols he was a stranger in the parts to find the land and he would survey it for him. He said Echols searched and told this respondent he had found the place. This respondent then surveyed the land according to his directions and in his name he being the attending person and the entry not transferred on the Books. He said Echols professing he would make it over to Keith whenever thereto required. Echolds did not run quite up to the foot of the Mountain. Afterward a certain John Bourland entered for & surveyed the land up to the foot of the Mountain. All the land surveyed by Echols and Bourland did not make a full survey. But since this respondent became well acquainted with that part of the country and is well convinced Echols and Boreland surveyed exactly the land called for by Brown’s entry.
Some years afterward William Hayse made an entry viz William Hayse enters 400 acres of land on the head Branches of Borcaugre Creek including Dooleys Spring which this respondent supposes to be about a mile from the upper end of Borlands survey …
Hayse sold to a certain John Thompson & the other part to John Lamont. Afterward John Lamont applied to this respondent to purchase Thompsons part for him. … Lawmont and this respondent paid him said Thompson for it … Then the whole of the survey belonged to Lawmont but the legal title was in Hayse. When Hayse applyed to Lawmont for the consideration money… Lawmont refused to pay the consideration unless Hayse would give him security to convey him a title when the patent should issue. …
John Keith set up a claim to the said land, under Browns entry and he apply’d to this respondent to survey the said land for him. …this respondent met and informed him the land he claimed was already surveyed … and that he could not survey it again legally, that he must caveat it if he did anything. He then took possession of a small plantation on the said land and bought a caveat either against Lamont or Hayse … about that time this respondent was informed Col Richard Callaway had an old entry for the land. This respondent searched the surveyors office and found one for the same land and dreading a caveat knowing he had no way to endemnify himself if he could not make Lamont a deed,he this respondent purchased the said entry at his own expense and had it transferred into his name ….
Hays after Keiths caveat procured an assignment of the before recited entry of John Brown in order to strengthen his right …
