Reference: Sources: CURRY DESCENDANTS by Judge Noble K. Littell pp30 ref#3410. CURRY DESCENDANTS by Judge Noble K. Littell pp31-32 ref#6820. More Notes: From The Coppage-Coppedge Family by Maxim/Manham:, 'Mathew Rodham was apparently a younger son, contributed by his mother to Lord Baltimore's experiment.' It is known from various early MD records that Matthew's passage to MD was paid by others and that he served six years as a servant to Lord Leonard Calvert. He may have been the son of Edmund and a younger brother to John Roddam(b. 1614), the heir to Roddam. However, a search of available Northumberland Parish Records failed to reveal a list of Edmond's children. The Ancestry of Edmond Roddam is given back to 1296 in Burke's LAND GENTRY, 1939 Edition. p. 1934, and includes Sir John Roddam who was killed at the Battle of Towton in 1461 during the Wars of the Roses, and Edmond's father, Robert, who was persecuted for his 'Papist' (Catholic) beliefs.¹

; Also in 1664, Mathew Rodham and Elizabeth, his wife, made a deed in consideration of Richard Kenner's marriage with their daughter Elizabeth. We do not have a copy of this deed proving our lineage, but we do have a copy of another of Mathew's deeds of gift. We present the following documents which give proof of the lineage of another of the Rodham daughters, Hannah. The documents were written in a decorative script which helped contribute to the difficulty in transcribing them.¹

; From Mary and Robert Pettitt: From the amount of land Mathew gave to his daughter Hannah, it would appear he was a large landowner in Northumberland Co. , Virginia. The following deeds are interesting in that it appears that Mathew was able to procure some of the coveted cleared Indian land that was quickly patented by the early settlers. Northumberland County is in the area of the Algonquin Groups, specifically that region which was earlier under Chief Powhatan's influence. Although we don't know exactly where the Rodham land was located, it is possible that the Indian land claimed by Mathew Rodham was cleared by a small tribe known as Secacawoni, which lived in Northumberland County along the Coan River and near it's entrance to the Potomac River. (From 'Indians in the 17th Century Virginia' by Ben C McCary 1957, Pg 1-6.)¹

; It appears that the same deed of gift was resubmitted to the court on 7 Nov 1668 (on pp. 52-53) and was recorded as it was first written. The apparent addition to this recording was the following.¹

In 1635 Matthew Raidon (sic) was "hyred out." And in 1636 Matthew Royden (sic) was "employed upon the services in the Isle of Kent."

; 'Matthew demanded 50 acres more as servant of Governor Baltimore.' Matthew bought 100 acres ('Come Away') from Col Thomas Taylor of Anne Arundel, executor of the will of Major Samuel Lane.¹

; From MARYLAND GENEALOGIES by the Maryland Historical Magazine p138: 'Matthew Rodham of Kent Island, Maryland, in Jul 1642 swore 'oath' to the will of John Butler of Kent Island, half nephew of Capt Nathaniel Butler. Thomas Butler, brother of John, also lived on Kent Island with Matthew.¹'

; Matthew may also have been in NORTHUMBERLAND, England or YORKSHIRE, England. Notes: Matthew Rodham worked as a servant to Leonard Calvert in 1633, Maryland until 28 Oct 1639. In 1642, He moved to Virginia. Moved back to Maryland, 1643, back to Virginia in 1650. In 1656 He was a Justice for Northumberland, Virginia. He owned land in both Maryland and Virginia.¹
Matthew Rodham was mentioned in a land transaction on 9 December 1662 at Northumberland Co., Virginia, USA,
Memo: 'Mathew Rhoden' renewed a patent of 350 acres in Northumberland County on 9 Dec 1662, 280 acres being located on a swamp which was a branch of Kings Creek of the Chickacoone River. Its northwest border was upon Mr. Hugh Lee's land, and 70 acres was upon the same. The patent was originally dated 13 Sept 1654. (Cavaliers and Pioneers, vol. 1, pg. 487, Patent Book V.)¹
Matthew Rodham was mentioned in a land transaction on 8 June 1664 at Northumberland Co., Virginia, USA,
Memo:      On 8 June 1664, 'Mathew Rhodam' of Northumberland Co. was granted 393 acres of land in that county. 100 acres were situated northernly upon Hugh Lee's land, southernly upon an old Indian field and westernly upon land of James Clayton. 288 acres were situated southeasternly upon the head of a swamp of King's Creek, northeasternly toward land of Col. John Matrom, and five acres were at the head of the aforesaid land and betwixt land of Capt. Rogers and Col. Jno. Trussell.
     It appears that the same deed of gift was resubmitted to the court on 7 Nov 1668 (on pp. 52-53) and was recorded as it was first written. The apparent addition to this recording was the following.¹

; 'Whereas I was in Company with Mr. Edw: Cole since we came last on this river (at Mr. John Cockrells house) he said that the suspition of Doctor Saunders & others was that his wife was under an ill tongue, & if it was soe he concluded yt it was Mrs. Neal by reason of imprecations made by her & yt indeed he thought soe, but since she came to his house and passed over the horseshoe nailed at ye door & prayed soe heartily for his wives recovery, that suspition was gone from him then speaking of some stories he said (what continued was deleted) (signed) J Bandill April ye 11 1671 Sworn before us Peter Knight, Leon Howson.¹'

; 'I Edw: Le Breton deposeth that being aboard of our ship & Mr. Edward Cole talking then there of severall psons & among all ye rest of Mrs. Neall saying yt (that) a certeyne time some yeares past there grew difference between them and said Mr. Cole she then made some kind of prayer that he nor none of his family might never prosper and shortly after his people all fell sick & much of his cattle dyed and did saye then (which was since ye arrivall of our ship from the barbadoes) that he accused her of it. And further depose that now yt his wife was sick he did acuse Mrs. Neal of it alsoe. But a certyne time he sent for Mrs. Neal to come to see his wife, and she did come and after yt he saw her come over the threshold where there is an horseshoe nailed and that when she was by his wife shee prayed heartily for her he was then psuaded to ye contrary again. And this I heard him relate of all yt is above not 10 days since at ye house of John Cokrell and further I know not April ye 11 1671.

; 'I Edward Cole doe acknowledge yt ye words which I did speake concerning Mrs. Neale as tending to defame her with the asperpersion of being a witch and a ___ were passionately spoken (signed) Edward Cole' ' (Leon Howson was apparently Leonard Howson (bef 1641-1689) married to Elizabeth Lee and father to Hannah Howson, who married Francis Kenner.)¹

; Captain Christopher Neale served with distinction in the House of Burgesses from Northumberland Co., Virginia in November 2, 1685 session, and as a Civil Officer from 1680-1885. He was a staunch and liberal supporter of the Established Church.¹

; Notes for Christopher Neale: From Mary and Robert Pettitt: Christopher was claimed for transport in 1650 by Richard Axom and Thomas Godwin. (Greer, 'Early Virginia Immigrants.¹')

; There is a rather interesting record about Hannah from 1671, taken from William and Mary College Quarterly, Vol. 17, series I, pp. 247-8: 'The general prevalence of a belief in witchcraft is abundantly evident in the early records of Virginia, but (the) records are singularly free from the atrocities that disfigure those of England and New England. No death penalty was ever inflicted and a few stripes and fines were the extent of the punishment. To keep off witches, a horseshoe was supposed to have a magic potency, and this superstitution has come down to us, for the horseshoe over the threshhold is still supposed by many to bring good luck. Below is an interesting instance in the belief in its power, found in the 17th century records of Northumberland Co., VA.¹

; Notes for Hannah Rodham: From Mary and Robert Pettitt: See the notes of Hannah's father, Mathew Rodham, for a transcription of a deed of gift from Mathew to Hannah and her husband Christopher Neale dated December 17, 1666. This was a large grant of land that Mathew Rodham gave them, apparently as a wedding gift. This seems to indicate that Hannah and Christopher were married sometime around this time period.¹
