Some sources on Scottish clan names state that "Monroe" means "Man of Roe," a river in Northern Ireland near which many Scots settled; hence the claims of Scots-Irish ancestry for Bill. But Clan Monroe has its roots firmly in the Scottish Highlands, specifically in Easter Ross, north of Moray Firth and the Great Glen. The name, first recorded around the twelfth century, may be from the Norman-influenced "Mon ROSSE" ("hillmen of Ross"). It is almost always spelled "Munro" in Scotland, and it was pronounced exactly that way by Bill's family, right into the twentieth century — MUN-ro, with emphasis on the first syllable.

Note: "...and in those of Westmoreland and King George counties, Virginia, relieves the matter of much of its difficulty. We learn from the first of these sources that the original residence of the immigrant ancestor, Andrew Monroe, was in Maryland, where he first commanded a pinnace in the service of Cuthbert Fenwick, general agent for Lord Baltimore. When Richard Ingle declared for the parliament, Monroe took sides against Lord Baltimore's government, and eventually, like Nathaniel Pope, ancestor of President Washington, Dr. Thomas Gerrard, and other leading Marylanders, fled over the Potomac to a settlement under the Virginia authority, at the mouth of Appomattox Creek, now called Mattox Creek, in Westmoreland county." --James Monroe; William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 4; 189

Andrew Monroe was the 3rd son of David Munro. Andrew, under his distinguished relative, General Sir George Munro I, of Newcome, fought with the rank of Major at the Battle of Preston, 17 August, 1648. Andrew was taken prisoner and banished to Virginia, America. Andrew managed to escape (or worked off his indentureship) and settled in Northumberland County, Virginia, where he had several grants of land made to him, the first extending to 200 acres, designated as one of the "Head Rights", being dated 8 Jan. 1650. Andrew died, leaving issue (according to Westmoreland Deed Book) as listed on the Family Page. (??"Moved from Scotland to Maryland c.1641, to Virginia, c.1648, and settled on Monroe Bay, Westmoreland County, Virginia)...(Major Monroe was born in Scotland, & came to Maryland before 1642 when he represented St. Mary's Co. in the Assembly. In 1648, due to religious troubles, he crossed the Potomac & seated himself in Westmoreland, and there received large patents on that creek now called Monroe Bay).
Andrew began to write the name Munroe and it finally attained its present form, Monroe
One source states: " Andrew (Munro) Monroe was a vicar/preacher who came to America in 1642.
Andrew Munro was married to Elizabeth Alexander. They had six children. Andrew's brother William was the great grandfather of James Monroe, the fifth President of the USA."
This same??? "Andrew Monroe emigrated from Scotland to America in 1650; he belonged to an ancient highland clan and was Captain in the service of Charles I. He received a grant of land on the borders of Monroe's Creek (so-called after the family) about one mile below Bluff Point and about four miles from Pope's Creek (where Washington was born) on the Potomac in Northumbefrland County. In the time of Charles II he retgurned to Scotland and induced others of his family to emigrate and another extensive grant of land in the same quarter was made to him by the Crown."
On page 480 of MacKenzie's History is stated "Andrew, 3rd son of David Monro, fought with rank of Major at battle of Preston (Lancashire) 17th Aug. 1648. Was taken prisoner there and banished to Virginia, America. He escaped and settled in Northumberland County, Virginia, where he had a grant of 200 acres land dated 8th June 1650. He married and had issue, from whom President James Monroe was probably descended."
QUOTE: from Mr. James D. Evans, a descendant of the Monroe family, and an ardent student of genealogy:--"The identity & derivation of the immigrant, the 1st Andrew Monroe, has not, I think, been settled by the assumption that he was indubitably the Major Andrew Monroe, 3rd son of David Munro of Scotland who participated in the Battle of Preston and being taken prisoner by the English (1648) was banished to Virginia. The article which appears in the William and Mary quarterly, written by Mr. Edward S. lewis of St. Louis, which attempts to substantiate that identity is by no means conclusive. It presents nothing more than an interesting conjecture but no evidence except indentity of name. There is very positive proof that Andrew Monroe who appeared in Virginia and westmoreland county in 1650 and patented lands on what later became known as Monroe's Creek, and who can be none other than the first of the Monroes who for generations remained in unbroken line in that vicinity, came there from St. Mary's County, Maryland, and was the same as is traceable in the Maryland Archives back to 1642 in the same place. He appears there to have been assessed 50 lbs. of tobacco in July 1642, to support the war against the susquehanna Indians (Md. Assy. Proceedings V. 2-30/2 Entry Book #53) and again as a freeholder represented in the Assembly by Capt. Thos. Cornwallis on 22 august 1642 (Md. Arch. Acts of Assy. V. I-165). On 24 February 1647 he was defendant in a suit of Mrs Mary Brent in which he was decreed to pay her 400 lbs. of Tobacco (Md. Arch. IV-330). On the 6 April 1648 Andrew Monroe signed with his mark as witness a deed of gift from Burgess Thomas Sturman to his son John Sturman to all his cattle and his shallop 'now in Maryland.' (Ib. 362). On 6 April 1648 Andrew Munrowe of Appomattox in Virginia (a point on the Potomac across the river from St. Mary's County, Maryland) made a bill of sale for a feifer 2 years old to Thos. Sturman which was witnessed by John sturman (Ib-383). It is likely, if not certain, that Andrew Monroe went to Virginia from Maryland in 1647, with Thomas Youell and Thomas Sturman. These two men originally steeled in Kent isle in the Chesapeake--1st claimed by Col. Wm. Clayburn of the Virginia Council who settled it in 1634 or earlier but was in 1638 dispossessed by Lord Calvery. In 1647/8 Thomas Sturman and Andrew Monroe left St. Mary's and settled near Youell in Westmoreland. county. John Sturman later also crossed into Virginia where he married Elizabeth, daughter of Patrick & Dorcas Spence, the sister of Elanor Spence, who married Andrew the 2nd, son of Andrew the 1st, the Immigrant.

Some sources on Scottish clan names state that "Monroe" means "Man of Roe," a river in Northern Ireland near which many Scots settled; hence the claims of Scots-Irish ancestry for Bill. But Clan Monroe has its roots firmly in the Scottish Highlands, specifically in Easter Ross, north of Moray Firth and the Great Glen. The name, first recorded around the twelfth century, may be from the Norman-influenced "Mon ROSSE" ("hillmen of Ross"). It is almost always spelled "Munro" in Scotland, and it was pronounced exactly that way by Bill's family, right into the twentieth century — MUN-ro, with emphasis on the first syllable.

We learn from the first of these sources that the original residence of the immigrant ancestor, Andrew Monroe, was in Maryland, where he first commanded a pinnace in the service of Cuthbert Fenwick, general agent for Lord Baltimore. When Richard Ingle declared for the parliament, Monroe took sides against Lord Baltimore's government, and eventually, like Nathaniel Pope, ancestor of President Washington, Dr. Thomas Gerrard, and other leading Marylanders, fled over the Potomac to a settlement under the Virginia authority, at the mouth of Appomattox Creek, now called Mattox Creek, in Westmoreland county." --James Monroe; William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 4; 189

Andrew Monroe was the 3rd son of David Munro. Andrew, under his distinguished relative, General Sir George Munro I, of Newcome, fought with the rank of Major at the Battle of Preston, 17 August, 1648. Andrew was taken prisoner and banished to Virginia, America. Andrew managed to escape (or worked off his indentureship) and settled in Northumberland County, Virginia, where he had several grants of land made to him, the first extending to 200 acres, designated as one of the "Head Rights", being dated 8 Jan. 1650. Andrew died, leaving issue (according to Westmoreland Deed Book) as listed on the Family Page. (??"Moved from Scotland to Maryland c.1641, to Virginia, c.1648, and settled on Monroe Bay, Westmoreland County, Virginia)...(Major Monroe was born in Scotland, & came to Maryland before 1642 when he represented St. Mary's Co. in the Assembly. In 1648, due to religious troubles, he crossed the Potomac & seated himself in Westmoreland, and there received large patents on that creek now called Monroe Bay).
Andrew began to write the name Munroe and it finally attained its present form, Monroe
One source states: " Andrew (Munro) Monroe was a vicar/preacher who came to America in 1642.
Andrew Munro was married to Elizabeth Alexander. They had six children. Andrew's brother William was the great grandfather of James Monroe, the fifth President of the USA."
This same??? "Andrew Monroe emigrated from Scotland to America in 1650; he belonged to an ancient highland clan and was Captain in the service of Charles I. He received a grant of land on the borders of Monroe's Creek (so-called after the family) about one mile below Bluff Point and about four miles from Pope's Creek (where Washington was born) on the Potomac in Northumbefrland County. In the time of Charles II he retgurned to Scotland and induced others of his family to emigrate and another extensive grant of land in the same quarter was made to him by the Crown."
On page 480 of MacKenzie's History is stated "Andrew, 3rd son of David Monro, fought with rank of Major at battle of Preston (Lancashire) 17th Aug. 1648. Was taken prisoner there and banished to Virginia, America. He escaped and settled in Northumberland County, Virginia, where he had a grant of 200 acres land dated 8th June 1650. He married and had issue, from whom President James Monroe was probably descended."
QUOTE: from Mr. James D. Evans, a descendant of the Monroe family, and an ardent student of genealogy:--"The identity & derivation of the immigrant, the 1st Andrew Monroe, has not, I think, been settled by the assumption that he was indubitably the Major Andrew Monroe, 3rd son of David Munro of Scotland who participated in the Battle of Preston and being taken prisoner by the English (1648) was banished to Virginia. The article which appears in the William and Mary quarterly, written by Mr. Edward S. lewis of St. Louis, which attempts to substantiate that identity is by no means conclusive. It presents nothing more than an interesting conjecture but no evidence except indentity of name. There is very positive proof that Andrew Monroe who appeared in Virginia and westmoreland county in 1650 and patented lands on what later became known as Monroe's Creek, and who can be none other than the first of the Monroes who for generations remained in unbroken line in that vicinity, came there from St. Mary's County, Maryland, and was the same as is traceable in the Maryland Archives back to 1642 in the same place. He appears there to have been assessed 50 lbs. of tobacco in July 1642, to support the war against the susquehanna Indians (Md. Assy. Proceedings V. 2-30/2 Entry Book #53) and again as a freeholder represented in the Assembly by Capt. Thos. Cornwallis on 22 august 1642 (Md. Arch. Acts of Assy. V. I-165). On 24 February 1647 he was defendant in a suit of Mrs Mary Brent in which he was decreed to pay her 400 lbs. of Tobacco (Md. Arch. IV-330). On the 6 April 1648 Andrew Monroe signed with his mark as witness a deed of gift from Burgess Thomas Sturman to his son John Sturman to all his cattle and his shallop 'now in Maryland.' (Ib. 362). On 6 April 1648 Andrew Munrowe of Appomattox in Virginia (a point on the Potomac across the river from St. Mary's County, Maryland) made a bill of sale for a feifer 2 years old to Thos. Sturman which was witnessed by John sturman (Ib-383). It is likely, if not certain, that Andrew Monroe went to Virginia from Maryland in 1647, with Thomas Youell and Thomas Sturman. These two men originally steeled in Kent isle in the Chesapeake--1st claimed by Col. Wm. Clayburn of the Virginia Council who settled it in 1634 or earlier but was in 1638 dispossessed by Lord Calvery. In 1647/8 Thomas Sturman and Andrew Monroe left St. Mary's and settled near Youell in Westmoreland. county. John Sturman later also crossed into Virginia where he married Elizabeth, daughter of Patrick & Dorcas Spence, the sister of Elanor Spence, who married Andrew the 2nd, son of Andrew the 1st, the Immigrant.

Thomas and Susannah Gerard had 11,000 acres from Lord Baltimore known as St. Clement's Manor and St. Clement's Island in 1638-1639. Thomas was involved in the uprising in St. Marys Co, MD and left to settle on lands in Westmoreland County, Virginia, where he died. Jan and List: Below is an interesting account of a suburban type lifestyle that Thomas GERRARD, John WASHINGTON, and other MD ex-patriots lived in VA. "The Englishmen on the banks of the Potomac mingled elegant pleasures with rude labors and perilous enterprises. There is a record of a contract in 1670 between John LEE, son of Col. Richard LEE, then deceased, Henry CORBIN, Isaac ALLERTON, and Dr. Thomas GERRARD, for building a banqueting house at or near their respective lands. The English colonist acted as far as the circumstances would permit, precisely as he would in London. It was a rare thing if the richer settlers did not visit the mother country once during the year...
Among those who resided in the "suburban" area (Westmoreland Co. VA) above Machodic, at Nomini Creek, were: Walter BRODHURST, Edmund BRENT, Nicholas SPENCER, Valentine PEYTON, Maj. John HALLOWES(HOLLIS), Above Nomini resided at Appomattox Creek (now Mattox) Col. John WASHINGTON, his father-in-law, Col. Nathaniel POPE, William BUTLER, the minister, and Andrew MONROE, who lived in Maryland, in 1643. Still further up the river, beyond Nomini, were Samuel HAYWARD, Col. Giles BRENT, and his famous sister, Margaret BRENT, at "Peace" on Acquia Creek. Other settlers were Capt. John ASHTON, Capt. John LORD, brother of Rich'd LORD, of Hartford, New England; Capt. William HARDWICH, a tailor from Maryland, brother-in-law of Mrs. WASHINGTON; Thomas STURMAN, of Maryland; Daniel HUTT, formerly of London; John ROSIER, minister, Anthony BRIDGES, Capt. George MASON (born in 1629), John HILLILER, Capt. Thomas EWELL, Col. Gerrard FOWKE, Col. Thomas SPEKE, Capt. William PIERCE, Capt. John APPLETON, Col. Tomas BLAGG, Capt. Alexander BAINHAM, Col. John DODMAN, Lewis MARKHAM, Clement SPELMAN, William BROWNE, of Plymouth, Daniel LISSON, Robert VAULX, and Capt. Thomas and William BALDRIDGE.

"...and in those of Westmoreland and King George counties, Virginia, relieves the matter of much of its difficulty. We learn from the first of these sources that the original residence of the immigrant ancestor, Andrew Monroe, was in Maryland, where he first commanded a pinnace in the service of Cuthbert Fenwick, general agent for Lord Baltimore. When Richard Ingle declared for the parliament, Monroe took sides against Lord Baltimore's government, and eventually, like Nathaniel Pope, ancestor of President Washington, Dr. Thomas Gerrard, and other leading Marylanders, fled over the Potomac to a settlement under the Virginia authority, at the mouth of Appomattox Creek, now called Mattox Creek, in Westmoreland county." --James Monroe; William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 4; 1896

RELIGIOUS PREJUDICE ALSO PLAYED a role in the struggle for dominance. In seventeenth-century Maryland, faith and social divisions, exacerbated by civil war in England, led to rebellions that tore the colony apart. In recent excavations, archaeologists have uncovered the homes of Nathaniel Pope, a leader of the revolt in the mid-1640s, and of Charles Calvert, third Lord Baltimore, who ruled the colony until an uprising in the 1680s. Finds from the sites provide insights on the course of the first rebellion and how Calvert used his residence to symbolically reinforce his right to rule.
The Calverts, who were granted the colony by Charles I, envisioned Maryland as a manorial society of large landhold and tenant farmers living in a spirit of religious toleration, seeds of division were embedded in the colony from the start. Many of the elite were Catholic, like the Calverts, while many of the lower class was Protestant.
The first crisis took place when the war that erupted between Charles I and Parliament in 1642 crossed Atlantic. The Calverts, with their ties to the royal court were targeted by a group aiming to install a pro-Parliament, Protestant government. Among those involved were Richard Ingle, captain of the tobacco ship Reformation, and Protestant freemen such as Nathaniel Pope.
Ingle received a commission from Parliament authorizing the capture of vessels from royalist ports. On February 14, 1645, he sailed to St. Mary's and seized a Dutch trading ship. It was the beginning of what became known as "The Plundering Time." After a brief resistance, the governor, Leonard Calvert, retreated to Virginia. Houses of those loyal to the Calverts were ransacked and their property stolen (the loot being taken to Pope's home in St. Mary's). Many fled; others were killed in fighting.
The rebels fortified Pope's home, and its excavation has revealed a sophisticated pentagonal ditch and palisade with three bastions enclosing the house. But although the north and cast sides were carefully laid out, the south and west were not. Similarly, the ditch was very shallow on the west side, barely two feet deep. Archaeologist Timothy Riordan believes that the plan and initial work may have been directed by Ingle, while later, less competent work was done after he returned to England in the spring of 1645. The ditch also appears to have been quickly filled in with domestic debris, animal bones, and oyster shells. All this suggests that any threat to the rebels from Calvert faded quickly.
Indeed, it was nearly a year before Leonard Calvert was able to assemble a large enough force to return and reestablish control. By then the colony was shattered. St. Mary's population was reduced from 500 to fewer than 100, less than when it was first settled.
Although the colony recovered, by the mid-1680s the tobacco economy was in a severe depression; discontent and old antagonisms resurfaced. Many Protestant colonists strongly supported Charles Calvert, Leonard's uncle and the third Lord Baltimore, but others felt that they would never benefit from his political patronage. These men, known as the Protestant Associators, spread rumors
of combined Catholic and Indian plots to wipe out Protestant settlers. In July 1689, when Baltimore was in England, the Associators marched on St. Mary's City and seized the State House, then went on to take over Calverts plantation at Mattapany.
Beginning in 1666, Calvert had set about building a major plantation and port at Mattapany. Conventional wisdom among scholars was that nearly all planters in the Chesapeake region, even the wealthiest, lived in impermanent houses with timber frames set directly into the ground. But excavations at Mattapany during the I990s by archaeologists Ed Chaney and Julia King revealed massive brick foundations of a house at least two stories tall that measured 25 by 50 feet, and had a tile roof, glass windows secured by lead frames, plaster walls, and fancy fireplace tiles. Calvert also shifted the colony's weapons magazine to Mattapany (excavations there yielded hundreds of pieces of shot and a gun barrel). Though St. Mary's City continued to function as the legislative capital, he governed from Mattapany. "A colonist approaching Mattapany, and most with any business on the Patuxent River had to stop there, would see, perched atop a 20-foot bluff overlooking the water, the colony's principal magazine and, rising behind it, Calvert's impressive brick dwelling. This was an extremely symbolic landscape, and there is no doubt that he intended it to he," says King.
Excavation also revealed traces of a log palisade around the house. "The logs were set only about two feet in the ground," says King, "suggesting it had been built hastily. It may have been erected either by Calvert loyalists when they learned the Associators were marching on Mattapany or by the Associators after they seized it." In England, Lord Baltimore tried to take his colony back, but King William refused, preferring to take control himself, and sent a royal governor to Maryland in 1691.

Jh Note: The will of Thomas Boys dated Aug. 1, 1657 and Prob Oct. 20, 1657 in Westmoreland Co. was witnessed by Richard Browne. His executors were: John Hallowes, John Hillier, and Thomas Wilsford. His will states he left his sisters and his son Thomas in Isle of Wright and says his son was about 32 in 1656. "his now wife Elizabeth" may indicate a previous marriage. Thomas Boys was in St.Mary's Co by 1637. His name seems to pop up most frequently with Nathaniel Pope and Marmaduke Snow.

Genealogical Memoranda of the Quisenberry Family and other Families, Page 165
INFORMATION FROM WESTMORELAND COUNTY, VIRGINIA.
(The following deposition was not taken until 1734, but as it establishes the fact that John Quisenberry helped to survey certain lands "when they were first taken up," and as that was in the year 1651, this paper fixes the earliest known date of a Quisenberry being in Virginia; and it is therefore given first place here in my transcript of Virginia records.--A.
C. Q.) (1.) The deposition of Humphrey Pope, of the county of Westmoreland, aged 60 years, or thereabouts, taken at the request of the Honorable Thomas Lee, Esquire, concerning the bounds of his land, in the presence of Matthew Bean and Thomas Osborn, now in possession of the land adjoining to and binding on the land of said Thomas Lee: the said deponent saith that about thirty years ago one John Sturman, now dead, who acted as the attorney of one Joanna Pope, then in England, the widow of one Thomas Pope, deceased, made a survey of a certain patent granted to one Nathaniel Pope for 1,050 acres of land in the county of Northumberland, now Westmoreland, bearing date the 19th day of May, 1651, which land the said Joanna Pope claimed in right of her son, Richard Pope, under whom the said Thomas Lee claims; and this deponent saith as the said survey was then made there was neither line nor corner tree to be found, except one marked tree, which this deponent was informed by one John Quisenberry was marked to know where some hogs lay; that when survey was made the said Sturman caused lines to be marked, which this deponent hath often seen and believes are still to be seen; and this deponent saith that, holding land adjoining to the aforesaid patent and thinking the said survey was not right, about two or three years after he made inquiry concerning the bounds of the aforesaid patent, particularly of the aforesaid Quisenbury, then near 80 years of age, and the said Quisenberry told this deponent that he was a chain-bearer and helped mark the aforesaid 1,050 acres of land when the same was first taken up, and further tould this deponent that the survey made by the said Sturman was not right, and sayed there was a black walnut tree standing at the head of a valley leading to Johnny Green's Run, that falls into Pope's Creek Beaver Dams, which black walnut tree the said Quisenbury said was a corner tree of the said patent, and that he had either marked it! himself or was present when the same was marked, at the time! the land was first surveyed; and this deponent afterwards went to the said valley, where he found a black walnut tree, as the said Quisenberry had tould him, which appeared to have been ancieatly marked as a corner tree. &c., &c.
(The remainder of this deposition is of no interest in connection with this history. This Humphrey Pope was the second of the name, and was, as I believe, John Quisenberry's wife's nephew.)

I desire the Lord to preserve him I know that he hath had much business on his hands by reason of Bens death that it seemeth to me something difficult for him to go through without the assistance of some hope I hope that you have given him your best assistance and I hope that you and the rest that J deal withal! did keep your tobacco for Richard Nicholls as I did desireyou per them to do in my former letters per Mr. Webber the which letters J hope you have received by Mr. Thurston's ship. I did desire you to assist my servant as much as you would and I could and I would serve you here. I have sent you in Mr. Butlers a young man the which I would desire you to take into your house and let him have meat and drink and lodging and to employ him in the best employment that you shall see him capable of I conceive that he will be fit to teach your children for he can write a very good hand sifer very well and is able to keep your accounts if you conceive it met. I would desire you to take him in and to employ him till such time as you shall hear from me which shall be by the next shipping God willing his name is Samuel Mottershed I hope that my man hath made bold to leave your Overseer of my debts he hath left in the country I would desire you to take care of it and to receive it into your custody for my use and I will give you content for your care and pains and you shall find me willing to serve you here in England your brother hath sent you a letter by the young man named Sam. Mottershed your father is well also thus in haste I committ you to the protection of the Almighty and rest your loving friend in all hearty love and affection to serve you.

Thomas and Susannah Gerard had 11,000 acres from Lord Baltimore known as St. Clement's Manor and St. Clement's Island in 1638-1639. Thomas was involved in the uprising in St. Marys Co, MD and left to settle on lands in Westmoreland County, Virginia, where he died. Jan and List: Below is an interesting account of a suburban type lifestyle that Thomas GERRARD, John WASHINGTON, and other MD ex-patriots lived in VA. "The Englishmen on the banks of the Potomac mingled elegant pleasures with rude labors and perilous enterprises. There is a record of a contract in 1670 between John LEE, son of Col. Richard LEE, then deceased, Henry CORBIN, Isaac ALLERTON, and Dr. Thomas GERRARD, for building a banqueting house at or near their respective lands. The English colonist acted as far as the circumstances would permit, precisely as he would in London. It was a rare thing if the richer settlers did not visit the mother country once during the year...
Among those who resided in the "suburban" area (Westmoreland Co. VA) above Machodic, at Nomini Creek, were: Walter BRODHURST, Edmund BRENT, Nicholas SPENCER, Valentine PEYTON, Maj. John HALLOWES(HOLLIS), Above Nomini resided at Appomattox Creek (now Mattox) Col. John WASHINGTON, his father-in-law, Col. Nathaniel POPE, William BUTLER, the minister, and Andrew MONROE, who lived in Maryland, in 1643. Still further up the river, beyond Nomini, were Samuel HAYWARD, Col. Giles BRENT, and his famous sister, Margaret BRENT, at "Peace" on Acquia Creek. Other settlers were Capt. John ASHTON, Capt. John LORD, brother of Rich'd LORD, of Hartford, New England; Capt. William HARDWICH, a tailor from Maryland, brother-in-law of Mrs. WASHINGTON; Thomas STURMAN, of Maryland; Daniel HUTT, formerly of London; John ROSIER, minister, Anthony BRIDGES, Capt. George MASON (born in 1629), John HILLILER, Capt. Thomas EWELL, Col. Gerrard FOWKE, Col. Thomas SPEKE, Capt. William PIERCE, Capt. John APPLETON, Col. Tomas BLAGG, Capt. Alexander BAINHAM, Col. John DODMAN, Lewis MARKHAM, Clement SPELMAN, William BROWNE, of Plymouth, Daniel LISSON, Robert VAULX, and Capt. Thomas and William BALDRIDGE.

URL title: Anthony Rawlings of St. Mary's County, Maryland
"...and in those of Westmoreland and King George counties, Virginia, relieves the matter of much of its difficulty. We learn from the first of these sources that the original residence of the immigrant ancestor, Andrew Monroe, was in Maryland, where he first commanded a pinnace in the service of Cuthbert Fenwick, general agent for Lord Baltimore. When Richard Ingle declared for the parliament, Monroe took sides against Lord Baltimore's government, and eventually, like Nathaniel Pope, ancestor of President Washington, Dr. Thomas Gerrard, and other leading Marylanders, fled over the Potomac to a settlement under the Virginia authority, at the mouth of Appomattox Creek, now called Mattox Creek, in Westmoreland county." --James Monroe; William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 4; 1896
According to the RFHA June 1990 Newsletter, both Nathaniel Pope and Giles Brent transported a Rawlings into Westmoreland County, in or prior to 1654:

RELIGIOUS PREJUDICE ALSO PLAYED a role in the struggle for dominance. In seventeenth-century Maryland, faith and social divisions, exacerbated by civil war in England, led to rebellions that tore the colony apart. In recent excavations, archaeologists have uncovered the homes of Nathaniel Pope, a leader of the revolt in the mid-1640s, and of Charles Calvert, third Lord Baltimore, who ruled the colony until an uprising in the 1680s. Finds from the sites provide insights on the course of the first rebellion and how Calvert used his residence to symbolically reinforce his right to rule.
The Calverts, who were granted the colony by Charles I, envisioned Maryland as a manorial society of large landhold and tenant farmers living in a spirit of religious toleration, seeds of division were embedded in the colony from the start. Many of the elite were Catholic, like the Calverts, while many of the lower class was Protestant.
The first crisis took place when the war that erupted between Charles I and Parliament in 1642 crossed Atlantic. The Calverts, with their ties to the royal court were targeted by a group aiming to install a pro-Parliament, Protestant government. Among those involved were Richard Ingle, captain of the tobacco ship Reformation, and Protestant freemen such as Nathaniel Pope.
Ingle received a commission from Parliament authorizing the capture of vessels from royalist ports. On February 14, 1645, he sailed to St. Mary's and seized a Dutch trading ship. It was the beginning of what became known as "The Plundering Time." After a brief resistance, the governor, Leonard Calvert, retreated to Virginia. Houses of those loyal to the Calverts were ransacked and their property stolen (the loot being taken to Pope's home in St. Mary's). Many fled; others were killed in fighting.
The rebels fortified Pope's home, and its excavation has revealed a sophisticated pentagonal ditch and palisade with three bastions enclosing the house. But although the north and cast sides were carefully laid out, the south and west were not. Similarly, the ditch was very shallow on the west side, barely two feet deep. Archaeologist Timothy Riordan believes that the plan and initial work may have been directed by Ingle, while later, less competent work was done after he returned to England in the spring of 1645. The ditch also appears to have been quickly filled in with domestic debris, animal bones, and oyster shells. All this suggests that any threat to the rebels from Calvert faded quickly.
Indeed, it was nearly a year before Leonard Calvert was able to assemble a large enough force to return and reestablish control. By then the colony was shattered. St. Mary's population was reduced from 500 to fewer than 100, less than when it was first settled.
Although the colony recovered, by the mid-1680s the tobacco economy was in a severe depression; discontent and old antagonisms resurfaced. Many Protestant colonists strongly supported Charles Calvert, Leonard's uncle and the third Lord Baltimore, but others felt that they would never benefit from his political patronage. These men, known as the Protestant Associators, spread rumors
of combined Catholic and Indian plots to wipe out Protestant settlers. In July 1689, when Baltimore was in England, the Associators marched on St. Mary's City and seized the State House, then went on to take over Calverts plantation at Mattapany.
Beginning in 1666, Calvert had set about building a major plantation and port at Mattapany. Conventional wisdom among scholars was that nearly all planters in the Chesapeake region, even the wealthiest, lived in impermanent houses with timber frames set directly into the ground. But excavations at Mattapany during the I990s by archaeologists Ed Chaney and Julia King revealed massive brick foundations of a house at least two stories tall that measured 25 by 50 feet, and had a tile roof, glass windows secured by lead frames, plaster walls, and fancy fireplace tiles. Calvert also shifted the colony's weapons magazine to Mattapany (excavations there yielded hundreds of pieces of shot and a gun barrel). Though St. Mary's City continued to function as the legislative capital, he governed from Mattapany. "A colonist approaching Mattapany, and most with any business on the Patuxent River had to stop there, would see, perched atop a 20-foot bluff overlooking the water, the colony's principal magazine and, rising behind it, Calvert's impressive brick dwelling. This was an extremely symbolic landscape, and there is no doubt that he intended it to he," says King.
Excavation also revealed traces of a log palisade around the house. "The logs were set only about two feet in the ground," says King, "suggesting it had been built hastily. It may have been erected either by Calvert loyalists when they learned the Associators were marching on Mattapany or by the Associators after they seized it." In England, Lord Baltimore tried to take his colony back, but King William refused, preferring to take control himself, and sent a royal governor to Maryland in 1691.

Jh Note: The will of Thomas Boys dated Aug. 1, 1657 and Prob Oct. 20, 1657 in Westmoreland Co. was witnessed by Richard Browne. His executors were: John Hallowes, John Hillier, and Thomas Wilsford. His will states he left his sisters and his son Thomas in Isle of Wright and says his son was about 32 in 1656. "his now wife Elizabeth" may indicate a previous marriage. Thomas Boys was in St.Mary's Co by 1637. His name seems to pop up most frequently with Nathaniel Pope and Marmaduke Snow.

INFORMATION FROM WESTMORELAND COUNTY, VIRGINIA.
(The following deposition was not taken until 1734, but as it establishes the fact that John Quisenberry helped to survey certain lands "when they were first taken up," and as that was in the year 1651, this paper fixes the earliest known date of a Quisenberry being in Virginia; and it is therefore given first place here in my transcript of Virginia records.--A.
C. Q.) (1.) The deposition of Humphrey Pope, of the county of Westmoreland, aged 60 years, or thereabouts, taken at the request of the Honorable Thomas Lee, Esquire, concerning the bounds of his land, in the presence of Matthew Bean and Thomas Osborn, now in possession of the land adjoining to and binding on the land of said Thomas Lee: the said deponent saith that about thirty years ago one John Sturman, now dead, who acted as the attorney of one Joanna Pope, then in England, the widow of one Thomas Pope, deceased, made a survey of a certain patent granted to one Nathaniel Pope for 1,050 acres of land in the county of Northumberland, now Westmoreland, bearing date the 19th day of May, 1651, which land the said Joanna Pope claimed in right of her son, Richard Pope, under whom the said Thomas Lee claims; and this deponent saith as the said survey was then made there was neither line nor corner tree to be found, except one marked tree, which this deponent was informed by one John Quisenberry was marked to know where some hogs lay; that when survey was made the said Sturman caused lines to be marked, which this deponent hath often seen and believes are still to be seen; and this deponent saith that, holding land adjoining to the aforesaid patent and thinking the said survey was not right, about two or three years after he made inquiry concerning the bounds of the aforesaid patent, particularly of the aforesaid Quisenbury, then near 80 years of age, and the said Quisenberry told this deponent that he was a chain-bearer and helped mark the aforesaid 1,050 acres of land when the same was first taken up, and further tould this deponent that the survey made by the said Sturman was not right, and sayed there was a black walnut tree standing at the head of a valley leading to Johnny Green's Run, that falls into Pope's Creek Beaver Dams, which black walnut tree the said Quisenbury said was a corner tree of the said patent, and that he had either marked it! himself or was present when the same was marked, at the time! the land was first surveyed; and this deponent afterwards went to the said valley, where he found a black walnut tree, as the said Quisenberry had tould him, which appeared to have been ancieatly marked as a corner tree. &c., &c.
(The remainder of this deposition is of no interest in connection with this history. This Humphrey Pope was the second of the name, and was, as I believe, John Quisenberry's wife's nephew.)
