The area [Sewell's Point] was originally named in the 17th century after Henry Sewell, an Englishman who arrived in Virginia sometime prior to 1632 and married Alice Willoughby, daughter of Thomas Willoughby, a prominent magistrate.[1]

Later, variations in spelling were used, such as Seawells Point, and Sewall Point. The common spelling today is Sewells Point.

This Henry Sewall represented the "Upper Parish of Elizabeth City" in the House of Burgesses of Virginia for the Sessions 4 September, 1632; in the Lower Norfolk, at Sessions 6 January, 1639, and died about 1644, as per the settlement of his estate 'Shown at Orphans' Court, 25 February, 1649.

Sewall's Point, at the mouth of the Elizabeth River, was named in his honor.

Captain Sewall's wife, Alice, survived him, and married Matthew Phripp.

Her will, dated 30 October, 1705, was proven 15 March, 1705-6.[cross]

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sewell-175#Marriage_.26_Family

The "elder" Henry died about 1644, and a settlement of his estate was held some five years later at an orphan's court held Feb. 25, 1649. They met to consider a minor son named Henry Sewell who was ordered to be sent to Holland, for his education, in the charge of Mr. Thomas Lee. Henry Sewell Jr. was said to have been born 1 May 1639. It is not clear if the orphan was in Holland or if he was being raised by Mr. and Mrs. Phillips but and upon the death of Mathew Phillips, his widow and administratrix, Anne Phillips represented only the interest of Mathew Phillips estate and four additional men were chosen on behalf of the orphan Henry Jr., son of Henry and Alice Seawell.
