"...John Buckner who came to Virginia in 1661 from Oxford, England. He brought the first printing press to the Colonies in 1682." He introduced the first printing press to Virginia. He resided in Gloucester Co., VA. He was educated in Oxford, England. He immigrated in 1667 to Virginia. So we say that John the Immigrant was a son of Thomas son of Hugh. This may or may not be correct. Quoting again from "Colonial Caroline" we find the following: "Through sheer ownership of property Richard Buckner qualified as a great landlord, but instead of blindly following this group, he wavered like his father before him, between being their partisan and a champion of the plain people. HE WAS THE THIRD GENERATION OF BUCKNERS TO OWN ACREAGE IN THE AREA THAT IS CAROLINE COUNTY. THIS GRANDFATHER ANTHONY received a joint grant with that old speculator, Lawrence Smith of 4972 acres south of the Rappahannock in 1671. ..Control of this vast acreage, however, failed to align [HIS FATHER],with the feudalistic aristocrats. Instead of joining them, he smuggled into Virginia the colony's first printing press and in 1681 printed an abridgement of the colonial laws, which he circulated, that all who were literate might learn the law and demand their rights. Both, to own a press and to print without a license, were felonies" (p. 60). John was then summoned to Jamestown to answer for his crimes. He was ultimately punished by losing his press and posting a one hundred pound note to print no more. The chapter goes on to say that Richard was somewhat of a snob.
William Nuthead sponsored by John Buckner, set up in Gloucester County a press (the second to be established in America) and in 1682 printed two sheets of the Acts of the Virginia Assembly. Though Berkeley had been recalled to England, a spirit of intolerance toward 'liberty of presses' persisted. Buckner was summoned for this printing of the Laws, and Charles II ordered in 1683 that no person use any press in the colony.
Massachusetts had set up a printing press in 1639, but it was 1704 before any newspaper was regularly published in the colonies and 1763 before a daily paper appeared regularly.
Re. "Marlfield", Gloucester Co., Va.
Marlfield in upper Gloucester Co., Va. was built by John Buckner. It was there that he housed the first printing press in America. John Buckner was Clerk of Gloucester Co. and angered Virginia's governor, Lord Culpepper, for printing the Laws of 1680 without a license. He was fined in 1682 for this.
Marlfield had a center hall with a room on either side on one end and 2 rooms above then on a second story. The brick house had a total of 4 rooms and two long halls. In 1779/80 the house was owned by Catseby Jones who added a wing, making the building T shaped.
John Buckner, Gent., the ancestor of a numerous family in the United States, patented 1,000 acres of land in Gloucester County in 1669, and became a merchant with wide connections in Maryland and Virginia. Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, 1:406, and William and Mary College Quarterly, 7: 9, 10 and 11.
in the year 1682, during the administration of Lord Culpeper, Mr. John Buckner, a merchant of Gloucester County, brought in a press and a printer and set up at Jamestown the second printing establishment of English America.
Begun auspiciously enough, what seems to have been the first venture of this partnership met with such ill favor from the authorities as to discourage further attempts at printing in Virginia for many years. The action of the Virginia Council on hearing that Buckner's press was preparing to issue certain session laws is told in the following .record:3
Att a Councell held att James Citty February 21: 1682/3. .....
Mr. John Buckner being by his Excellency Thomas Lord Culpeper ordered to appear
1 Hening, W. W., Statutes at Large ...of Virginia, 2: 517.
JOHN BUCKNER, son of Thomas and Jane Buckner, was baptised 2 February 1631 at St. Mary's, London, England and died 1695. He married in 1661 to DEBORAH FERRER. John and Deborah were in Virginia by 1682. All of thier children are believed to be born in London.
Issue:
RICHARD BUCKNER, "of Essex COunty", born 1662. He married Elizabeth Cooke. His will proved 14 March 1733 in Caroline County, Virginia..
JOHN BUCKNER, "of Gloucester County", died by 1733. He married Ann Ballard.
ELIZABETH BUCKNER. She married James Williams.
THOMAS BUCKNER.
WILLIAM BUCKNER "of York County", died 1716. He married Catharine Ballard. His will proved 1 May 1716 in Yorktown. Thier issue: William died 1729, John died 1748 and Elizabeth married Drury Stith. | John Buckner

"...Thomas Watts, was a remarkable man. He commanded a warship in the year 1656 and his personal courage was outstanding. On one occasion while in the East Indies he was pursued by a tiger into a river and turned to grapple with the animal and, by his coolness and skill, succeeded in driving off the beast. In the war with the Dutch the vessel he commanded exploded, and by this accident he was killed in the prime of life. He was no rough seaman but good at mathematics, music, painting and poetry. His grandson, Isaac, wrote these words in his memory' : "Since he was seen on earth no more He fought on lower seas and drown’d But victory and peace he found On the superior shore"

"Born in Lenoir County and was by occupation a farmer prior to enlisting in the 27th NC Infantry in Lenoir County on April 27, 1861. Present or ac counted for until discharged on July 16, 1862, by reason of being overage . Discharge certificate gives his age as 37. [May have served later in Company D, 1st Battalion N.C. Local Defense Troops.] " According to the Taylor Book, James and Eliza were buried on the Ed Stanley farm near Deep Run in Moody Cemetery that used to be the Taylor Cemetery. If that is th e c ase, they probably had wooden markers, long gone.

"Hardeman County, Tennessee: Family History", by the Hardeman Co. Historical Society, page 18, has this to say about Washington Avent:
"It is said that Washington Avent, a Mount Comfort resident, was the first merchant in the new Hickory Valley. He built an impressive home facing the railroad and adjacent to his mercantile business. He and his son James Monroe Avent played a prominent role in Hickory Valley history during the last half of the 19th century.
James Monroe Avent, planter and sportsman, was born near Hickory Valley. He is a legend to thousands of men and women who go afield with bird dogs or with hounds. For more than half a century his dogs were consistent winners at the Grand Junction Field Trials. He was the first star dog handler in America."
1850 Rutherford Co. census shows 3 Avents born in VA: Jas., b. 1788 (which agrees with other info regarding James, son of John), Benjamin W. Avent, b. in VA in 1812, and Washington Avent, b. 1820 in VA.

On 13 Oct 1727 he received a grant of land in Brunswick Co., VA (Land Patent Book 13:179), so must have been born on or before 1706.

Micahel Holt, II was about five feet ten inches tall, and weighed about two hundred and twenty-five pounds. He was very dark, so much so that his German neighbors call him "Black M
From Bill Anderson:
Michael Holt II, an Anderson-related 5th great-granduncle, organized loyalist militiamen in Orange County to support Governor Martin. He was leading these men to Wilmington at the time of Moore's Creek Bridge Battle. Afterwards, he was arrested and held in Halifax. In May 1777, he and about 30 principal Tories were sent to a Philadelphia prison. Holt contrived to make interest with Congress. Release was granted to Holt and most native-born Americans (Symth in Hatch 1969:86). By 1780, he was home again and cooperated with local Whigs (Troxler 1999:86).

Orange County - 1752-1952, Edited by Hugh Lefler and Paul Wager, Chapel Hill, 1953: Page 330:
"MICHAEL Holt (1723-1799) "Revolutionary Character." Born in Va., Moved to Orange county about 1740. Captain of county militia against Regulators. In 1776 answered Gov. Martin's call for loyalist (Tory) support, but after reaching Cross Creek (present-day Fayetteville) en route to Brunswick returned home. Arrested at home and imprisoned in Philadelphia. Released and returned to Orange county. Aided American cause by donating supplies."

From Joe Holt:
"The History of Alamance", by: Miss S. W. Stockard, Raleigh: Capital Printing Company, 1900: CHAPTER VI., Holt FAMILY, Pages 122-127:
"Michael Holt (Jr..) was the patriarch of the Holts in Alamance. He belonged to the Lutheran Church at St. Paul's, near Alamance Creek."
"Mr. Holt was a wealthy planter, his land extending from Greensboro almost to Hillsboro, with his homestead about in the center, on the Great Alamance. "
"His friend Mr. Roan of Hillsboro once asked Mr. Holt how much he would take for his land. "Gold dollars, gold dollars, by ging," was the characteristic reply, "gold dollars enough to cover it and them laid down edgewise!"
"But Michael Holt's love of land and money was not exceeded by his generosity. He was an agreeable and popular man, loved talking and fond of a joke. Mr. Henderson of Rowan was a great friend of his. Once his eighteen-miles-away neighbors decided to pay him a joke. They called and said his friend Henderson was being persecuted and was suffering want. Mr. Holt replied that no friend of his should suffer while he could help him out. So he filled his great old saddle pockets with money and set out for Rowan on horseback. After riding a mile or more he noticed a hole in his saddle-bags, and gold dollars dropped all along, as the horse had trotted pretty fast, a golden stream behind him."
"Michael Holt's home was a hotel on the Hillsboro and Salisburg road. They say he was a "good-feeder." He was a large slave-holder and agriculturist. Michael Holt, says LOSSING'S HISTORY, was a fine old Deutchman and a gentleman commanding great respect. He was buried on the Dr. Pleasant Holt place (his own land), near Burlington cemetery."

Hi Oberta,
I've noticed on other sites that you have posted both for the Avent and the Cotton surnames. Well, my Newsoms of Sussex/Greensville Co. Va are all around the Avents in deeds, etc. Also, in a later marriage of 25 Jul 1851 Susan Avent married Benjamin Albert Bailey, Sr, the son of Brittan Bailey and Lucy Andrews. The Baileys of Sussex Co. VA are connected with my Whitehorn, Meglamre and Newsom lines. Then you have Aney Avent who married Frederick Mason and I'm also a Mason researcher." | Susan Avent

1850 Rutherford Co., TN census shows 3 Avents born in VA: James, b. 1788, Benjamin W. Avent, b. 1812, and Washington Avent, b. 1820.
Walton Family Cemetery Limestone County, Alabama
James Avent bn Jan 09, 1788 died Sept 15, 1866
Mary Avent [wife of James] bn July 23, 1787 died Sept 04, 1830.
James Monroe Avent, a prominent and wealthy attorney of Murfreesboro, Tenn., was born December 10, 1816, in Greenville County, Va. His parents, James and Mary Avent, were natives, respectively, of Virginia and North Carolina, and removed from the father's native State to Alabama, from whence they came to this State and county in 1830. They resided here until 1856, when they removed to Hardeman County, Tenn., where the elder Avent died in 1868. James M. Avent's boyhood's days were spent on the farm and in the schools, differing from the experience of many lads of his day, insomuch that his education was superior to that of the ordinary youth. He secured a good literary education at the Clinton College, in Smith County, Tenn. At the age of twenty-one he had decided to make the law his profession for life, and entered the office of Charles Ready, of this city, with whom he read law until he was admitted to the Rutherford County bar in 1840. He then engaged in the practice here, rapidly growing in reputation and character as a lawyer, and was for many years a partner of the late ex-Chancellor B. L. Ridley. Mr. Avent is now the senior member of a well-known law firm of Avent, Smith, & Avent, and it may be justly said that he has contributed largely to the success and high standing of this firm at the Rutherford County bar. February 27, 1837, Mr. Avent married Mary W., the daughter of the late Maj. John W. Childress, of this county. The result of this union has been five children, the following four now living: Frank, James M., Bettie B., and Sarah W. Mr. Avent is a Democrat of the old "Jacksonian school," and has always been an active and zealous worker for his party, but never aspired to office. He has frequently been appointed judge pro tem of our courts, and discharged the duties of this highly responsible position in a manner that indicated his superior qualities as a jurist. He is a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity, and has been identified with all public and private enterprises that were calculated to promote the prosperity of the city and county. He was one of the organizers of the Stone's River Creamery Company, of which he is now president. Himself and wife have been life-long members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and he is justly and universally reocgnized as one among the leading and successful citizens of our county, a lawyer of fine judgement and ability and a consistent Christian gentlemen.

In the Virginia colony there appeared a RICHARD (1) HAMBLET of James City County, VA. 1n 1655.
DAVID HAMBLET (1) of New Kent County, VA, appeared in 1665, ten years later.
JOHN HAMBLET (2)
Lived in Charles City County, VA in 1705, forty years after David -Possible son? Grandson?
There was also a THOMAS (H)? (1) HAMLET who died in Richmond Co.VA. In 1725-6?
[NOTE- In 1734 GRANVILLE CO. NC SEPARATED FROM MONTGOMERY]
ARCHIBALD (1) HAMLET was born 1750 in Amherst Co, VA and died 1796 in Rockfish Co., VA. May well have been the son of David or John above. Archibald married Susanna BURGESS in 1775 (during the revolution). Susanna was the daughter of William Burgess. Susanna (1755-1827) died in Nelson Co. VA., thirty-one years after Archibald.
CHILDREN OF ARCHIBALD AND SUSANNA BURGESS HAMLET

There is also an ARTHUR HAMBLET who married SARAH (SUSANNA) CRUTCHFIELD in CHARLES CITY CO, VA on 5/28/1811
The son of Arthur and Sarah Hamblet was EDWARDS JENNINGS HAMBLET b. 8/26/1817 in VA
18TH CENTURY HAMLETS
The First Hamblet recorded in NC actually appeared in the far western region of SURRY CO. SURRY was formed from ROWAN IN 1771. BURKE from Rowan-1777- (Morganton).
CHARLES (1) HAMBLET
Is recorded in Surry County, NC in 1771, which is right on the VA border, and he almost certainly came into the county from directly north in Virginia- probably the Lynchburg area from Richmond on the RICHMOND-LYNCHBURG CANAL or “up” the Shenandoah Valley (south). (Please note that he could have come from the Mass. Hamlets through NY to Philadelphia and on the GREAT PHILADELPHIA WAGON ROAD-(SEE MIGRATION MAP) which ended around Surry/Wilkes/Watauga Co., area of NC.
There is a NANCY ANN HAMBLET, b.1775 IN CASWELL (LATER PERSON) CO, NC, the daughter of JAMES HAMBLET, of PRINCE EDWARD CO, VA who received a land grant to Caswell Co, NC in 1783- perhaps a reward for service in Rev. War? JAMES married FRANCIS MOORE in NC. NANCY ANN apparently married JOHN WATSON.
See PERSON CO., NC records for 11/15/1793 concerning JAMES HAMLET who died in 1792 leaving a plantation of over 1,000 acres – one-third to his widow, FRANCES MOORE and the remainder equally to his five sons.
1.THOMAS HAMLET.
2.JOHN HAMLET, who may have married a girl named ELIZABETH. Or she might be a sister?
3.ROBERT HAMLET (who may have married a PHEOBE VAN HOOK possibly from HALIFAX, VA who moved to ORANGE CO. NC (Chapel Hill area) when it changed to PERSON COUNTY (Person formed from Caswell in 1770’s?) POSSIBLE CONNECTION TO PETER 1 SR?
4.JESSE HAMLET.
AND 5. JAMES HAMLET, JR.
Each boy’s section was valued at 508 pounds.
Other children of James Hamlet, SR. POLLY HAMLET, FANNY, KITTY, NANNY (NANCY ANN?), MARTHA, LUCY, PEGGY, AND ANNE HAMLET.
On September 17,1792, FRANCES HAMLET petitioned the court of PERSON CO. for the right to guardianship of Lucy and Anne.
On 4/16/1821 FRANCES HAMLET’S (d. 1820?) land was divided among the same sons. The widow’s section was valued at sixty-eight pounds, four shillings, and eight pence, equal to one-fourteenth of the estate?
The next Hamblet to pop up in NC records is down near the SC border in ANSON COUNTY. In 1779 and 1780, not near the VA border but way down south, Peter, Sr. is listed as in attendance. PETER (1) Sr. HAMLET is the first (b. 1762) Hamblet or Hamlet that records indicate is our exact line of the Hamblet family. In the late 1700’s, Anson was the farthest west county in the state, and cheap or free land was probably available for homesteaders.
Having lived in Anson during the first years of the American Revolution, PETER 1 SR. next appears three years later in 1782 in MONTGOMERY COUNTY (SALISBURY?) along with another Hamblet named JOHN 3 HAMBLET - perhaps his brother or his son?
In 1782 about the time the colonies won independence from England, another Hamblet entered NC, this time in WARREN COUNTY - bordering on the VA line directly south of Richmond area. This was RICHARD 2 HAMBLET. There is a RICHARD HAMBLET OF CASWELL CO, NC in 1797 and an R. HAMBLETT IN 1810 with two “T’s”, and another RICHARD (RICHARD, JR OR A BROTHER?), but the second Richard spelled his name with only one “T”. Or the recorder could have just spelled it two different ways on the same day. I’m sure that often happened. The Richard of 1797 was married to KITTY JONES, daughter of RICHARD AND MILDRED JONES.
In 1790 and again in 1799 the tax rolls for MONTGOMERY COUNTY, NC indicate that JOHN 3 and PETER (1) were residents of Salisbury, NC (now different county-Rowan?). PETER 1 probably died 1810-1820. PETER 1 had three daughters (unknown) and one son, PETER 2 A. HAMBLET (1787).
Also in the 1790 MONTGOMERY CO, NC census there appears a PETER (1) Sr. HAMBLET as a resident.
There is also an ELIZABETH HAMLET of Wilkes Co. who married JOESEPH HARRISON, Jr. described as a “Just and faithful Knight of God” and a famous early preacher in Wilkes/Watauga County. J. Harrison was born 2/4/1799 in Iredell (now Alexander Co) NC. Harrison served as Register of Deeds in Watauga from 1850-1860, but being a Union man, he left for the Civil War, and then he returned as Register from 1865-1870- a total of 15 years. Elizabeth was his first wife. He later married a Carolina Wolff, an Alice Baird (Methodist?) and then Albertine Bond. He founded the Brushy Fork Baptist Church in 1858.
In 1776 JESSE HAMBLET was born in Montgomery Co. (map #5) and the son of JOHN 3 is listed as living in ANSON COUNTY.
JESSE married SALLY GATEWOOD born in 1778 in ANSON CO, NC. Sally Gatewood was from ANSON CO, NC and the daughter of ROBERT AND MARY GATEWOOD. They had five daughters. Sally was 5th and youngest. Robert Gatewood was born in VA and died after 5/25/1790 in Anson Co., son of Thomas Gatewood, b. 1682-1689 in Rappahannock Co, VA and died between 1748-49 in Essex VA, son of John and Amie Gatewood, b.1650, probably in England and died between 1706-07 in Essex, VA.
Daughters of Jesse and Sally were SARAH (SALLY) HAMBLET b. Montgomery Co, NC 1811 and married to THOMAS NELSON 8/31/1831 in Jefferson, TN. Thomas was born in 1783 in Wisconsin (NOT EVEN A STATE THEN). Daughter number five. Children of Sally Hamlet and Thomas Nelson were as follows.
WILLIAM, 1832 IN TN., SARAH J,, B. 1834 IN IOWA., THOMAS H. IN ILLINOIS, ISAAC W.,B. 1845 IN ILLINOIS, AND GEORGE W, B. 1849 IN ILLINOIS.
NANCY HAMLET (1805-1898) Born in Salisbury, Montgomery Co, Nancy married RICHARD LEMASTER, JR. in 1836. Richard Lemaster was born in Shelby Co, KY and died 1/19/1845 on the Cherokee Indian Reservation-ARKANSAS?. They were married nine years. (Richard Sr.’s wife was HANNA?) RICHARD LEMASTER was born 2/5/1796. Died in Frog Bayou, Van Buren Township, Crawford Co, Arkansas. They were married in Arkansas or Iowa. Nancy is daughter number one.
Nancy’s second husband was ARTIMAS “LIBERTY” MILLET in 1849 in KANESVILLE, POTAWATTAMIE COUNTY, IOWA. “Liberty” was the son of EBENEZER (CAPT) MILLET AND CATHERINE DRYDEN. CAPT was born 9/11/1790 in Westmoreland, Cheshire Co. New Hampshire And died 11/19/1847 in Scipio, Millard Co. UTAH.
Nancy’s third husband was WILLIAM MILLS on 2/27/1821 in Jefferson Co, TN. William was born about 1801.
Nancy’s 4th husband was ANDREW MORTON HAMILTON, born in CHILLICOTHE, OHIO on 4/29/1809 and died 8/17/1894 in Springfield, Utah Co., UTAH. He was the son of JAMES HAMILTON AND MARGARET BAKER.
NANCY died in CASTLE DALE, EMERY COUNTY, UTAH.
ELIZABETH HAMLET (1807 in Montgomery Co), daughter of Jesse and Sally, married JACK HARRELL b. 1796 in Montgomery Co., NC. She is daughter number 2.
JANE HAMLET, daughter number three, was born 5/3/1808 in NC. She married HEZEKIAH TAGUE on 1/26/1828. Tague b. 1804 in Montgomery Co., NC. (TEAGUE?) SUSANNA HAMLET, b. 1810 married JESSE MILLS on 2/13/1819 in Henderson, Jefferson Co., TN. Jesse b. 1810 in Montgomery Co. NC.
In 1800 THOMAS HAMBLET And JOHN 3? And WILLIAM (2) HAMBLET Also appear back in ANSON COUNTY back where that branch appears to have started in NC- the “old home place”? Possible source of rumor that the family came from ”Down near Charlotte somewhere”- Anson is “near” Charlotte if you’re from Blowing Rock. HAMLET, NC would be just south of Asheboro and just east of Charlotte- Wadesboro area. Blowing Rock was the eventual destination.
By 1810 there is a HAMBLET in the MONTGOMERY CO. NC census, and there are still some Hamblets in other counties, but Peter 1 Sr. was finally ready to start the move west along the Yatkin River toward new lands in the New River area around Blowing Rock, NC up from Lenoir, NC area and near the NC/ TN/ VA border. The old home place for that section was there.
In 1820 in Montgomery Co., there is a JAMES HAMLIT (ONE ‘I’) on the tax rolls.
There appear to be no Hamlets in the ORANGE CO census of 1830 or 1840, so the family may have moved west about the late 1820”s? toward Watauga Co.
