    Notes:

    According to "The Cecils of Hatfield House An English Ruling Family" by David Cecil, Houghton Mifflin 1973: He became a drunkard, homosexual and declared athiest in Italy. According to research by Jim Cissell as quoted from his Internet Home page, Sir Edward visited the Virginia Colony and showed up in the 1607 Virginia Colony Census.
    It appears this Edward was a signer of the Second Virginia Charter, dated May 23, 1609.
    He was also known as General Cecil. "The Records of the Virginia Company of London", ed. Susan Myra Kingsbury, A.M., Ph.D., published by the Library of Congress, Washington, in 1933, 4 volumes, for your Sir Edward CECIL. Found quite a few references. On pg 81, vol III, there is a list of "Adventurers to Virginia, with the several amounts of their holdings", "Sir Edward Cecill 25" He is also listed several other places as a General Cecill). At the quarter court meeting on 9 Jun 1619 he (written General Cecill and Generall Caesill) apparently consulted with Sir Horation VEERE (VERE) and Sir Thomas GATES about some engineering issues in Virginia.
    Sir Edward was also a General-and we know from Colonial Census data he was in Virginia Colony in 1607, 1611, 1619 (as General) and 1624. A Robert was in VA in 1607, and Edward in 1611, a Thomas in 1607, and a William in 1612.There is no doubt, because of the investment of Sir Thomas, Earl of Exeter, and his son Edward, in the 2nd Virginia Company, that this is the Cecil family. Each of them may have even fathered children out of wedlock in VA (based on their known reputations)-but these children probably did not carry their surname. We also know that Barbados was often a way station on the way from England to VA and MD colonies. We still do not have the definitive tie of the immigrant Cecil?s and Cissell's to MD to this family. I have not gotten any significant information from the Oxenbridge family (a different Oxenbridge was an investor in the 2nd VA company) to verify that the Thomas Cecil who married Susan Oxenbridge is the Thomas Cecil, son of above Thomas, who is documented to have married Ann Lee, daughter of a Mayor of London.

    Family/Spouse: Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Edward married on 10 Jul 1601 in Brooke, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  6. 10.  Cecil, Sir Knight Thomas Descendancy chart to this point (4.Dorothy3, 3.John2, 1.John1) was born on 30 Dec 1578 in England; died on 3 Dec 1662 in Stamford, England.

    Notes:

    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.
