762 Sheriff of Northamptonshire in 1542 & 1543 Custodian of Windsor Castle
According to "The Cecils of Hatfield House An English Ruling Family" by David Cecil, Houghton Mifflin 1973: Richard added to the family holdings, was made Groom of the Privy Chamber. He supported the King (Henry VIII) in his breach with the Roman Catholic Church. It gave Richard a chance to buy confiscated Church lands.
ollowing from the book, "The Anonymous Life of William Cecil, Lord
Burghley", page 40-42 (no chapters in book) a 1598 manuscript reprinted
and forward by
Alan G. R. Smith. (possibly authors are Henry Maynard/Vincent
Skinner/Michael Hickes)

"This Mr. Richard Cecil was a gentleman descended from the Cecils of
Alt-yr-ynys in Wales, a very ancient house, myself having seen many
ancient, authentic writings and evidences proving many lineal desents, even
to himself, the copies whereof I have in my custody to show, and am assured
few men in England can show more pregnant and authentical proofs for
derivation of his descent than are extant for approving the truth of his
pedigree by many several evidences and records proving every descent, a
thing not usual to be seen. But if this were not so, or that his said
proofs failed, yet was he a gentleman, for besides that his father was a
squire by his place, he was a gentleman by his mother, godly, virtuous
gentlewoman who lived to the age of fourscore and five years.

Jane brought the Lordship of Burghley as heir of father William Heckington
of Bourne in the county of Lincoln, by whom came the inheritance of the
lordship of Burghley, now the mansion of his lordship's barony, and other
lands to the value of two hundred pounds yearly. The said Mr. Richard
Cecil had by his wife the said Jane, William Cecil, Lord Burghley, Lord
Treasurer of England; Anne, married to John White, esquire; Margaret,
married to Roger Cave, esquire; and Elizabeth, married to John Wingfield,
esquire."

NOTE: The Christian name of Anne's husband (John White) was Thomas.
-----------------------------------------------

Now this is about all I have to offer at this time. At least on the surface
of this it would appear this WHITE bunch were not of the Episcopal church
type but rather of the Puritan/Quaker type? Your guess?

769 Spartanburg probate file # 460: Sarah Burnett's sister Martha also married a Bishop in Spartanburg.

The wife of Henry Bishop, James' brother, is listed as Martha B. and assumed to be Martha Burnett, sister of Sarah Burnett who married James, both listed as daughters of John Burnett and marrying Bishops in Spartanburg in Probate record # 460. Both Sarah and Martha listed as living in 1809, likely the date of probate of their father, John.

771 Stephen Hatfield fought in the Rev. War and enlisted on January 7, 1777, in Capt. Abraham Lyons Company in the Fourth New Jersey Regiment and saw action in the battles of Germantown and Short Hills. He was transferred to Capt. Bateman Lloyd's Company Third Regiment, on Feb. 1, 1779. And on March 20, 1780 he was chosen for the Commander in Chief's Guard. He was wounded in the battles he fought in New Jersey, but returned to take part in the surrender at Yorktown. He is buried in the Green Mount Cemetery in Waynesburg, PA and is the only Revolutionary War soldier buried there.

COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF'S GUARD, CONTINENTAL ARMY.
This corps, called also "The Life Guard," and "Washington's Body Guard," was a distinct organization of picked men. It consisted of one hundred and eighty men, and its first officer was Caleb Gibbs, of Rhode Island, Captain-Commandant. William Colfax, of New Jersey, was a lieutenant at the organization, and was the successor of Gibbs--ranking as captain. The soldiers were all selected from the ranks of the army, their good character and soldierly bearing being a prerequisite to their receiving this honor. Every State was represented in the "Guard." Its motto was "Conquer or Die."
The following general order issued by General Washington, gives the authority for the reorganization, composition, and continuance of the Commander-in-Chief's Guard:

"GENERAL ORDER No. 11.
"HEADQUARTERS,|
"VALLEY FORGE, March 17th, '78.|

"One hundred chosen men are to be annexed to the Guard of the Commander-in-Chief for the purpose of forming a corps to be instructed in the maneuvers necessary to be introduced into the army and to serve as a model for the execution of them. As the General's Guard is composed of Virginians, the hundred draughts will be taken from the troops of the other States."

"Description of the men: Height from five feet eight inches to five feet ten inches. Age from twenty to thirty years, robust constitution, well-limbed, formed for activity, and men of established characters for sobriety and fidelity. They must be Americans born."

The following soldiers were attached to this corps at different times during the war:

William Colfax - Lieutenant and Captain. John Fenton - Drummer.
Samuel Bailey - Private. Robert Blair Private.
Benjamin Bonnel - Private. Lewis Campbell - Private.
Benjamin Eaton - Private. George Farmer - Private.
Stephen Hetfield - Private.* (also known as Stephen Hatfield!)
Levi Johnson - Private. Labau Landon - Private.
Jasper Longley - Private. William Martin - Private.
Jonathan Moore - Private. Joseph Shipman - Private.
Enos Wells - Private. Samuel Wortman - Private.


Stephen Hatfield (Hetfield) was part of the Commander-in-Chief's Guard from March 20, 1780 until he was furloughed in 1783.
One source tells that men were added to the Guard in 1780 after five men of the guard had attempted to murder Washington.

The following will seems to support another son, James:
In the name of God Amen I, James Bishop, of the County of Prince George and State of Virginia being in a low state of health but of perfect mind and memory do make and ordain this my last will and testament --- Item (?) I leave my Negro woman Angelica and her son Henry free. I also leave all my somos(???) to Angelica her life and at her death to her son Henry. I give all my household and kitchen furniture, plantation utensils, stock of all kinds, crops of corn V. to Angelica her life at her death the balance to her son Henry --- It is also my wish that my Negroes, ???, Jimmy and Polly should be hired out for the support of my
Negro woman Angelica and her son Henry until her death and then to go to Henry (?).
I also wish that my Brother George Bishop['s?] son John Edmond Bishop should have my small gun --- it is my desire that my just debts should be paid out of such property as my executor may think best to be sold. This I acknowledge to be my last will and testament. Given under my hand and seal this sixteenth (?) day of March 1825.

Mailande Schrum: The James Bishop who wrote a will in 1825 could have been a descendant of James, son of John and Sarah (Harmon?) or he could have been a descendant of Richard Bishop who appears in Prince George records c.1719 (don't have exact date in front of me). Richard may have been a son of John and Sarah Lawrence born after Mary Lawrence Rose wrote her will in 1677........DNB

This book, along with Robert Martin Wylie's Diaries, was the basis for which this genealogical research was started. My father, George G. Wylie, loaned the author the diaries in 1984 to help him complete his book many years ahead of schedule. Many thanks to the work Robert H. McIntire did and to his family which is keeping the books available.

777 The wife of Henry is listed as Martha B. and assumed to be Martha Burnett, sister of Sarah Burnett who married Henry's brother James, both listed as daughters of John Burnett and marrying Bishops in Spartanburg in Probate record # 460. C. O. Kennedy lists her as Martha J. Burnett, dau of John and Sarah Burnett and his birth as 1776. He shows ONLY 1 child, Henry Jefferson.

Demastus: born 9 Feb 1774 in Spartanburg, died 22 Jul 1865 in Spartanburg. This seems to fit best and has full dates so will use these dates.

Probate record # 2407 states he died 1874
ages of some ch look more like grandch ??
other records show died July 22, 1865
death in 1874 from probate Rec # 2407, living 1861

779 There is yet to be proof that this Thomas Cecil was the engraver who came to Maryland, nor that the Thomas Cecil who married Susan Oxenbridge fathered these children, it is still speculative.
Burke's Peerage does not give this 2nd marriage to Susan Oxenbridge, but the Oxenbridge family is very clear that the marriage, which is documented in London marriage records, was to Sir Thomas Cecil.
From: Adrian (Surrey, UK) AChanning@CompuServe.Com
"I am not to keen on the suggested connection Thomas Cecil (1542-1622/3) 2nd Lord Burghley and 1st Earl Exeter > Thomas (1578-) as being the Thomas Cecil engraver and map maker and shown as dying 1664 (can't remember the exact date). This makes him pretty old, and I have the Thomas (1578-) as member of the merchant tailors guild rather than anything to do with engraving. However I think it was a condition of trading in London to be a member of one of the recognized guilds and I don't think it always signifies the persons trade, although I think he would have had to have been apprenticed to a merchant tailor."

Notes from Salisbury Family Genealogy: Was an engraver in London. In 1635 he came to Maryland and made the first map for the state and was paid by the Crown in land. He returned to England where he died. He returned to England and died in 1662. In 1658 his son, John, came to Maryland to look after his interests. He settled in St. Mary's County.
In 1658 his son, John, came to Maryland t look after his interests. John settled in St. Mary's Co. There is some confusion on this Thomas Cecil's parents. But I can find no documentation to believe he is the same person as Thomas Cecil, the engraver. Elise Greenup Jourdan quotes a letter from a Mrs. Lynda Louise Cole, a notorized affidavit as a Cecil cousin, that the Thomas who was the son of the Earl of Exeter, drowned at sea with his only child, a daughter.

786 Thomas L. Hale was born and raised at Rock Port Missouri. He was married to Maude Noah July 1, 1901. They lived at Langdon Mo., at St. Joseph Missouri., Howe, Nebr., Stella, Nebr., and then homesteaded in the sandhills of Nebraska 5 miles north of Ashby, Nebr. When I was a baby they were living at Stella, Nebr. where he was section foreman, for the Missouri Pacific Railroad. While living at Stella they had a dangerous experience. One sunday they decided to visit Mom's folks, in a town close to them. He took the hand car that belonged to the railroad and which he was not supposed to use for personel pleasure. Coming home it was dark and foggy. Suddenly a train loomed in front of them with out head lights. He stopped. Mom jumpted off with me in one arm and John in the other. Pop and the three older boys got just 2 wheels of the hand car off the track and had to leave it, when the train hit it completely demolishing it. Pop didn't loose his job or get in trouble with the railroad because the train did not have head lights. In February 1911 they took a homestead 52 miles east of Alliance in western Nebr. He built a 4 room sod house. (get ahold of me at rpbrea@bresnan.net for rest of story.) HALE, Thomas Lee Jr. (I52)

"Culbertson was the first town to rise out of the plains in the southern tier of counties in southwestern Nebraska. It was established in the summer of 1873. Its closest rival for the honor was Indianola, more than twenty miles to the east, also founded that year.

The county of Hitchcock came into existence too that summer and Culbertson, being the only place within the borders of the new county even resembling a town, became the county seat.

In 1874 Hitchcock County held its first election. Galen Baldwin, one of the earliest settlers, was running for sheriff. A man named Grimes was running against him. Baldwin called him and his cronies horse thieves. Three other men named Jack, supporters of Grimes, were trying to intimidate the voters. There was Fat Jack, Long Jack, and Curly Jack. Baldwin had a man working for him called Eban. On the day of the election, Curly Jack caught Eban on the street and demanded "Who are you going to vote for?" He said, "Baldwin," of course. Curly Jack threw him down and threatened him with a gun until he said he'd vote for Grimes.

Jack's horse had gotten away from him while he was manhandling Eban and he went to catch it. Eban got up and ran to the store where Baldwin was waiting and told him what happened. Baldwin expected Curly Jack to come after either Eban or him. Baldwin's wife had insisted that the best way to stay out of trouble was not to carry a gun-so today Baldwin had no gun.

Within a few minutes, Curly Jack did ride up to the front of the store, which was also the polling place, and yelled for Baldwin to come out. Baldwin shouted back for Jack to come in and get him. Anticipating this confrontation, Baldwin had found a three foot 2x4. He stood beside the door as Curly Jack burst in, a gun in each hand. Before Jack could locate his target, Baldwin brought the 2x4 down on Jack's head and dropped him like a clubbed rabbit. Dr. Vanderlace was called; he pronounced Jack dead. He was wrapped in a Buffalo robe and laid outside because he was in the way of the election.

Later Grimes came by and asked to see Jack. When the body was unwrapped, they discovered that Jack was still alive. Baldwin wrapped him up in the robe again, put him in the back of his wagon, and took him home. He and his wife kept him for nearly 2 months until he recovered strength enough to ride out of the country. Two years later, Curly Jack (McCall) shot Wild Bill Hickok in Deadwood, South Dakota, and paid for that crime on the gallows."

800 Wills not fully proved (due to unavailability of witnesses, etc.) or in Sussex County, VA:

David BISHOP, Nov. 23, 1828. To son Austin Bishop and daughters Meriah and Mary Bishop, each 15 schillings. To sons Thomas and David and daughter Lewisey Bishop all the balance of the estate at death of my wife. Executrix: wife Elizabeth. To Edwin W. Brockwell a young mare called his. Witnesses: Harrison Bishop, Richard Bishop, Edward W. Brockwell, Edward (X) Marks. Proved 26 April 1830 by Brockwell and continued; Augustin Bailey qualified as administrator. (may be will of grandson of Mary Moss -see below)

[Mailande Schrum: If the 1828 will was David, son of Mary Moss Bishop, then he lived to be an old man. This was sixty eight years after Mary died, and I believe David was grown at the time of her death. Note that he had three unmarried daughters, which would indicate a younger man. It is more likely the will of Mary's grandson. It is interesting that Edward Marks witnessed the will. David (son of Mary) and his wife Sarah Johnson Bishop, sold the land she inherited from her father to Edward Marks in 1786.]

Mary BISHOP. Aug. 18, 1759. To son David Bishop what is left after debts are paid; daughter Mary to have a quiet living in the estate while single and at her marriage David to have the whole estate. Executor: David Bishop, with my son Joseph Bishop. Witnesses: Dan Ellis, Thomas Bishop, James (X) Bishop. Proved March 1760 by one witness and continued.

Subject: Bishop wills, Sussex Co. Va.
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 1998

Linda,
The 1759 will of Mary Bishop, proved March 1760 in Sussex County, appears to be the will of Mary Moss Bishop, widow of John Bishop of Surry County Virginia. The Ellis family and James Bishop were neighbors of Mary and John. Dan Ellis and James Bishop witnessed her will along with Thomas Bishop, a son who lived in Surry County. John's will, probated in 1758 in Surry County, was witnessed by James Bishop and Caleb Ellis, and mentioned sons David and Joseph. Three other sons of Mary and John lived in Sussex County - William, Harmon, and John, Jr. No doubt she was with one of them at the time of her death.

Thank you for sharing. I overlooked this one when researching the family. I had checked Sussex County wills for a later time period hoping to find other members of the family, but did not expect to find Mary in Sussex also. Mailande Schrum
prob. Sussex County, VA, where will proved 
Moss, Mary (I3850)
