(340) EDWARD MINTER, 300 acres on upper Chippoaks creek, on the west side of
the great swamp, and adjoining the land of Jeremiah Clements. Due 50 for the
transportation of his now wife, Grace, 50 for the transportation of one
servant, Richard Hyde, and 200 by bill of sale from Charles Foard, to whom
it was due for the transportation of four persons: Ann Emmerton, Henry
Patrick, Edward Young, and Jon. Cooper.
By West, last day of May, 1636.
This establishes Edward Minter's wife as Grace. This is an abstract.

James Citty Co. 25 July 1638, page 583. At the Up. Chippokes, bounded on the

side of James Riv. towards land of Jerimiah Clements. Trans. of 6 pers:
Grace Minter his wife, Richard Hyde, Ann Emmerton, Hen. Patrick, Edward
Young, John Cooper.
In Founders and Patriots of America Index, page 152, Lineages of Hereditary
Society Members, 1600s-1900s, is listed:
MINTER
Edward (1612- c.1684) m. 1633 Grace.... VA XXVIII, 159.
This indicates the birth dates of Edward and the marriage date to his wife
Grace as 1633, yet she doesn't arrive in VA until 1638.

MINTER, JON., 1638, by Wm. Baker and Associates, Charles City Co.
MINTER, GRACE, 1638, by Edward Minter (her husband) James City Co.
MINTER, JON., 1635 by Edw. Minter, James Co.
MINTER, RUTH, 1635 by Edw. Minter, James Co.
MINTER, ANNIE, 1635 by Edw. Minter, James Co.
This list reveals that JON. (which is either JOHN or JONATHAN), RUTH and
ANNIE MINTER came in 1635 and were brought in by Edw. Minter, probably their
father. It is not until 1638 that Edward's wife GRACE MINTER comes from
England according to this listing. Yet, she is mentioned in a 1636 deed.
Need help to sort this out.
According to George Minter gm200051@home.com, JONATHAN MINTER came from
Londo in 1635 on the Ship Paul E. captained by Leonard Betts, possibly to
Jamestown.
