Rhydonia Allie Hill died on 27 June 1905 at Grand Cane, DeSoto Parish, Louisiana, USA, at age 72.¹
Rhydonia Allie Hill was buried after 27 June 1905 at Cook Cemetery, Grand Cane, DeSoto Parish, Louisiana, USA; From Find A Grave:
     ; N.B.: I have started trying to determine if Abner and Rhoda (CLEVELAND) FRANKLIN had a daughter named Frances "Fanny". Ancestry says my mother has DNA matches with two descendants of the FRANKLIN line who may be descended from Abner through a daughter named Fanny (see attached image of chart). Both of these matches depend on Fanny having married a Mr. HILL and having a daughter named Rhydonia Allie HILL who m. a Taylor Morris COOK.
     Several family trees show a Frances "Fanny" FRANKLIN as a dau. of Abener and Rhoda. Some trees have this Fanny m. a Rydon Grigsby HILL and having children. This is interesting in two ways (with allowances for reasonable spellings differences):
     According to the 1850 census, the Francis [sic] who m. R. G. HILL, was born in Georgia ca 1802. I have found speculative birth info for Fanny of 1797 in VA in many family trees, but no sources for this data. So this raises the question of whether Abner was in GA ca 1802 when Francis was born. We have little other information to go on. Some trees say Abner died in NC while others say AL (1828). His wife is said to have died in NC in 1820. His son, Jesse is said to have been born in TN (in 1810). Could Abner have had children in VA before 1797, then be in GA in 1802, TN in 1810 and then in NC by 1820?
     The 1850 census listing for Francis and R. G. HILL was in Sabine Co., LA. Fanny FRANKLIN's brother David Yancy had moved to Alabama by the mid-1820's, while her brother Jesse, was in AL by 1830 and had moved to MS by 1838. The census further shows that all three of Francis and R. G.'s children were born in Alabama between ca 1834 and ca 1842. However, I haven't found an 1840 census listing for an R. G. Hill in Alabama so far.

(n.b., dates of birth aprox., based on listed ages)
     In the 1860 census, Rhydonia Allie (HILL) COOK and her family are next door to an older Frances HILL (55) and a younger Franklin A. HILL (18). the are presumably the mother and brother of Rhydonia. This older Frances is shown as born in SC and Franklin in AL. This increases the likelyhood that Rhydonia Allie (HILL) COOK was the daughter of Frances HILL, and that the older Frances's maiden name may have been FRANKLIN as she gave her son that name (probably the "A. F. FRANKLIN" in the 1850 census). The prbability of a family connection between Rhydonia Allie (HILL) COOK and Franklin A. HILL (and thus to Frances HILL, his mother) is strengthened by the fact that Franklin A. is in Rhydonia's household in the 1870 census.
     As for Frances "Fanny" FRANKLIN's date and place of birth, we have three possible dates and three possible places of birth (I have no great faith in the accuracy of either recorded birth dates or places in censuses):
Two other pieces of evidence are that in the 1880 and 1900 censuses, Rhydonia reported that her mother was born in SC.
Conclusion: I have decided to place a Frances "Fanny" Franklin (who m. a Rydon Grigsby HILL) as a possible dau. of Abner and Rhoda for now, as I continue to evaluate the information I find on her. I have also assigned Rhydon Grigsby and Frances "Fanny" (FRANKLIN) HILL a daughter named Rhydonia (HILL) COOK. GA Vaut.^{4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

"The Richard Thompson/Tomson who married Ursula Bysshe on Kent Isle in 1641 appears to have been married previsouly since there is a record of his iimmigration with wife and child. The wife appears to have died but the child may have been the Richard Thompson who appears in Northumberland where his step-mother Ursula Bysshe Thompson married secondly, John Mottrom and 3rd George Colclough. Richard, the son of Ursula and Richard, died as a young lad and his property was inherited by his sisters, Elizabeth and Sarah. In a depostition in Northumberland, the Richard, who may have been the first child, gave his birth date of 1633, so he cannot be the son of Richard and Ursula. I am a descendant of Elizabeth Thompson Presly and wrote a book on these people. You can see some of Ursujla Bysshe's English ancestry on The Weald, History Genealogy and Topography of Kent, Surrey and Sussex."

"...His immigration 1636 record [Maryland , Liber 1, Folio 82-84] states he came with wife and child. There are also were references that the Indians killed his wife.. Since his trading post was under the direction of Edward Thompson during his absence in England from 1634 until he returned in 1636, I would surmise that Edward was his brother, Edward also migrated to Northumberland. The wife must have been pregnant when he left England in 1631 if this Richard ws his son. The Richard who chose Thomas Willoughby as his guardian was the son of Richard and Ursula Bysshe Thompson, and Thomas Willoughby had married his older sister, Sarah, by 1662. Ursula Bysshe Thompson Mottrom Colclough, his mother, died in 1661. Thomas Willoughby's sister, Elizabeth married first Simon Oversee, then after Ursula's death , Elizabeth married her widower, George Colclough, who lived just a short time. She then married Isaac Allerton. Her only offspring were by Allerton."

title: THE RANSDELL FAMILY
Note (from Bob Moore): The Keach article on the Presleys calls Mrs. Ursula Bish (Bysshe) Thompson, grandmother of Ursula Presley, the daughter of Philip Bish of Bristol. This is probably incorrect. She was probably the daughter of Wm. Bysshe of co. Surrey and was a relative of William Claiborne, for whom her husband Richard Thompson worked on Kent Island in Md. I found Ursula Bysshe's ancestry in an English publication at the Library of Congress. Ursula Bysshe's brother Roger had a daughter who married a Shelley, and they were the ancestors of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.

http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/w/i/n/William-Winders/GENE3-000 2.html#CHILD2
Ursula's father was William Bysshe, and her mother was Margaret James, sister of Sir Roger James and daughter of Roger James (1565-1596) and Sarah Smith. After Roger's death (at only 31), Ursula's grandmother Sarah m. Thomas Claiborne and became the mother of Richard Claiborne, who in his maturity became secretary of the colony of Va. So one could say that Claiborne was Ursula's "half uncle." Besides being secretary of the colony of Va., Claiborne was also a sort of employee of an English trading company Cloberry and Co. He set up a post for trading with Indians on Kent Island, now in Md.,

Ursula's father was William Bysshe, and her mother was Margaret James, sister of Sir Roger James and daughter of Roger James (1565-1596) and Sarah Smith. After Roger's death (at only 31), Ursula's grandmother Sarah m. Thomas Claiborne and became the mother of Richard Claiborne, who in his maturity became secretary of the colony of Va. So one could say that Claiborne was Ursula's "half uncle." Besides being secretary of the colony of Va., Claiborne was also a sort of employee of an English trading company Cloberry and Co. He set up a post for trading with Indians on Kent Island, now in Md.²

planter, in 1670.' At his death, the land in question became the property of Griggsts daughter. The core of the tract -- always varying in acreage -- passed from Ruth Griggs among her female descendants in unbroken succession through the end of the colonial period. The land was inhabited as early as 1702, by which date Mottsam Wright, Ruth Griggs's second husband, had begun using the property as a ferry landing. An official "act for the regulation and settlement of ferreys" established the price for transport from "Martram Wright's plantation" to Dudly's across the Rappahannock River in Middlesex County at fifteen pence for a man -- and twice that amount if he was on horseback.

Wright's Ferry proved a convenient point of departure and arrival for travel across the river, for the plantation hosted a ferry throughout the eighteenth century. Although his is the first name associated with the site, Wright's landholdings remained legally the property of his wife Ruth Griggs, who evntually conveyed them to her three children by a subsequent marriage to Robert Gibson. Winifred Gibson, one of these three offspring, married Ezekial Gilbert in 1722 and the couple established thcir household on the Wright's Ferry tract. That they led a prosperous life is certain from the inventory made of Gilbert's estate after his death in 1752. That they continued to operate the ferry business is also certain. By 1766, the grown daughter of Ezekial and Winifred Gilbert had married Rawleigh Shearman, who purchased an informative advertisement in the Virginia Gazette.

I hereby acquaint the publick that the ferry in the lower part of Lancaster county, on Rappahannock river, commonly known by the name of Gilbert's will by the 1st of April next be kept by the subscriber in very good order; where all persons may depend upon a ready passage, and meeting with good entertainment both for themselves and attendants. There will be tolerable passage at the said ferry from the date hereof. All persons who shall please to favor me with their custom will greatly oblige their humble servant

Rawleigh Shearman.

William Berkeley to Robert Griggs, 16 August 1670, Virginia Land Office Patent Book 6, Page 318. This patent identifies the land as lying on "ye maine river side" and bounded partly by Slaughter's Creek. A 1668 patent indicates that Slaughter's Creek was "alias Johns Cr. & now known as Coll. Carter's Creek." Carter's Creek is the present name of the branch that flows to the north of Pop Castle.

Virginia Land Office Patent Book 6, Page 136. Griggs's prominent social and economic standing are evident from the analyses of court records in Robert Anthony Wheeler, "Lancaster County, Virginia, 1650-1750: The Evolution of a Southern Tidewater Community"

Executor : Mottrom Wright.
Overseer: Captain John Purvis.
Witnesses: J. Sharpe, A. M., James Berouth, Hannah Bradley, Thomas Quilter, N. P. Noel, 189.
The testator was a party to one of the very few legal separations of husband and wife which appear in the early records of Virginia.
The family of Wright was, like so many others in Virginia, of London origin. Richard Wright, of London, a merchant or master of a ship in the Virginia trade, is recorded as carrying tobacco from Virginia to Holland in 1653. This is of record in Northumberland county, a contract, dated May 29, 1656, between Richard Wright, of London- "being homeward bound," to transport 60 hogsheads of tobacco. A little later Wright settled in Virginia, and was a justice of Northumberland in 1659. He married Ann, daughter of Col. John Mottram, of Northumberland county, (she afterwards married David Fox) and died in 1663. His will is preserved in a much mutilated record book in Northumberland. He gives his wife Anne, one half his land Machodoc and Potomac rivers-"that is the half that joins my brother Spencer (Nicholas Spencer, Esq., of Cople parish, Westmoreland county, Va., and formerly of Cople, Bedfordshire, England, Governor of Virginia, &c., who had married Frances, daughter of Col. John Mottram ), with reversion at her death to his son Francis Wright. To wife two negroes (named.) All of the English servants, negroes, not otherwise bequeathed, and rest of personal estate in Virginia and Maryland, to be divided into three equal parts, of which wife is to have one part and his three children the other two parts. To son, Mottram Wright, all his land on Elk Run, Maryland. To my *** land lying **.-** Francis **.-** for discharging education all my money in England **. To daughter ** land in the freshes of Potomac. To my brother*" land at **. To my brother Nicholas Spencer, and sister Mrs. Frances Spencer, and brother John Mottram, each a ring. Brothers Spencer and Mottram, overseers. Cousin Mathew Merriton, of London, merchant, an overseer in England, dated Aug. 16, and proved in Northumberland, Dec. 10, 1663. The inventory of the personal estate of Mr. Richard Wright was recorded March 10, 1663-4, and was appraised at 23,334 lbs. tobacco.
Before March 12, 1684, Mottram Wright, the testator above, and the son of Richard Wright, whose will has been given, married Ruth, daughter of Robert Griggs, a well-to-do planter of Northumberland county, and widow of John Mottram, Jr., who was uncle to Mottram Wright. An uncle's widow was within the prohibited degrees of affinity, and it seems strange that such a marriage should have been solemnized under English jurisdiction, but such the records show, was certainly the case. After at least ten years of marriage, and after giving birth to children, Mrs. Wright appears to have become horrified at the sinfulness of her union, and secured a separation. There is on record in Lancaster county, a bond dated Oct. 12, 1694, reciting that Mottram Wright married Ruth Mottram, widow of Major John Mottram, who was the said Mot- tram Wright's mother's brother, "which marriage was incestious and unlawful," and had been the occasion of the said Ruth's departing from her husband choosing rather to lead her life in banishment from her friends, country and estate, than continue any longer in that sinful marriage," therefore said Mottram Wright agrees that said Ruth shall live separately and apart, and to pay her a suitable alimony, and that the daughter be had in marriage with her shall be put to school where he shall think fit. There is on record in Lancaster, the marriage contract, dated Dec. 11, 1701, between Robert Gibson and Mrs. Ruth Wright, widow of Mottram Wright.
Of course such a marriage as that between Wright and Mrs. Mottram would now be legal.
Mottram Wright, jr. died without issue, and most of his father's estate passed to the daughter, Frances, who married Joseph Belfield, of Richmond county. Mottram Wright's will (above) was also record[ed in in Lancaster to July, 1701.

A little later Wright settled in Virginia, and was a justice of Northumberland in 1659. He married Ann, daughter of Col. John Mottram, of Northumberland county, (she afterwards married David Fox) and died in 1663. His will is preserved in a much mutilated record book in Northumberland. He gives his wife Anne, one half his land Machodoc and Potomac rivers-"that is the half that joins my brother Spencer (Nicholas Spencer, Esq., of Cople parish, Westmoreland county, Va., and formerly of Cople, Bedfordshire, England, Governor of Virginia, &c., who had married Frances, daughter of Col. John Mottram ), with reversion at her death to his son Francis Wright. To wife two negroes (named.) All of the English servants, negroes, not otherwise bequeathed, and rest of personal estate in Virginia and Maryland, to be divided into three equal parts, of which wife is to have one part and his three children the other two parts. To son, Mottram Wright, all his land on Elk Run, Maryland. To my *** land lying **.-** Francis **.-** for discharging education all my money in England **. To daughter ** land in the freshes of Potomac. To my brother*" land at **. To my brother Nicholas Spencer, and sister Mrs. Frances Spencer, and brother John Mottram, each a ring. Brothers Spencer and Mottram, overseers. Cousin Mathew Merriton, of London, merchant, an overseer in England, dated Aug. 16, and proved in Northumberland, Dec. 10, 1663. The inventory of the personal estate of Mr. Richard Wright was recorded March 10, 1663-4, and was appraised at 23,334 lbs. tobacco.
Before March 12, 1684, Mottram Wright, the testator above, and the son of Richard Wright, whose will has been given, married Ruth, daughter of Robert Griggs, a well-to-do planter of Northumberland county, and widow of John Mottram, Jr., who was uncle to Mottram Wright. An uncle's widow was within the prohibited degrees of affinity, and it seems strange that such a marriage should have been solemnized under English jurisdiction, but such the records show, was certainly the case. After at least ten years of marriage, and after giving birth to children, Mrs. Wright appears to have become horrified at the sinfulness of her union, and secured a separation. There is on record in Lancaster county, a bond dated Oct. 12, 1694, reciting that Mottram Wright married Ruth Mottram, widow of Major John Mottram, who was the said Mottram Wright's mother's brother, "which marriage was incestious and unlawful," and had been the occasion of the said Ruth's departing from her husband choosing rather to lead her life in banishment from her friends, country and estate, than continue any longer in that sinful marriage," therefore said Mottram Wright agrees that said Ruth shall live separately and apart, and to pay her a suitable alimony, and that the daughter be had in marriage with her shall be put to school where he shall think fit. There is on record in Lancaster, the marriage contract, dated Dec. 11, 1701, between Robert Gibson and Mrs. Ruth Wright, widow of Mottram Wright.
Of course such a marriage as that between Wright and Mrs. Mottram would now be legal.
Mottram Wright, Ir. died without issue, and most of his father's estate passed to the daughter, Frances, who married Joseph Belfield, of Richmond county. Mottram Wright's will (above) was also recorded[ in in Lancaster to July, 1701
