Last Edited | 1 Nov 2024 |
Nicholas Gentry I was born circa 1656 at New Kent, New Kent Co. (then), Virginia, USA; SAR Application #94989 (Lawrence Stanley McCollom, 19 Mar 1967) says b ca 1656 in England, arrived as an English soldier 1676, citing Records of British Soldiers who settled in New Kent co., VA, ca 1676, Bacons Rebellion.1,2
Nicholas Gentry I immigrated circa 1684; Per Gentry [1909:14-15]:
"There is a tradition in the family that the first Gentrys to settle in America were two young men, brothers, who came from England as British soldiers, and settled in Virginia. In support of this tradition, we find that the first Gentrys to settle in America were Nicholas Gentry and Samuel Gentry, who entered land in New Kent County, Va., in 1684. A further fact tends to confirm this tradition: that the British soldiers sent over to Virginia by Charles II, with the commissioners to settle the controversy between Gov. Berkeley and the people of Virginia at the time of the Bacon Rebellion in January, 1677, were not paid off and discharged until the fall of 1683, and many of them remained and settled in Virginia.
"Note. On January 29, 1677, an English fleet arrived in Hampton Roads, under command of Admiral Sir John Berry, with a regiment of soldiers, under command of Colonel Herbert Jeffries, and Colonel Francis Moryson. Sir William Berkeley, then Governor of Virginia, joined them at Kequotan, now called Hampton, and held an interview with them on the Bristol, the Admiral's flagship. Sir John Berry, Colonel Herbert Jeffries and Colonel Moryson were the three Commissioners. General Bacon had died and peace was soon restored, through the presence of the soldiers and the negotiations of the commissioners. Governor Berkeley was so enraged, so revengeful, and vindictive, that he caused to be executed, of those who had opposed him, twenty three of the most prominent and wealthy citizens of the colony. Governor Berkeley was recalled and ceased to be Governor April 27th, 1677, and returned to England with the fleet. Colonel Jeffries acted as Governor until the arrival of Lord Culpepper in 1680, who was recalled to England in 1683. Before his departure in the fall of 1683 he paid off the soldiers in Spanish piasters, worth five shillings, which he had made by proclamation worth six shillings, in payment for debts. Governor Berkeley soon died in England of a broken heart. King Charles II, said of him : " The old fool has taken away more lives in that naked country, man I for the murder of my father." (See Neills Va. Carolorum.)3" He is mentioned in the Land Transaction of Samuel Gentry on 21 October 1684 at New Kent Co., Virginia, USA; Per Gentry [1909:15-16]: "In the old land books there is a record of a patent in favor of Samuel Gentry for three hundred acres of land in New Kent County, Va., dated October 21, 1684, and described as follows: " On the south side of York River, between the heads of the branches of the said river and the heads of the branches of Totopotomoy's creek adjoining the lands of Col. John Page, Edward Hardin and Nicholas Gentry." There is no record of a patent to land to Nicholas Gentry; the records containing his entry or deeds having been destroyed."4
